“What if I haven’t studied enough?” “What if I get asked a tricky question?” “What if I forget what I studied?” “What if I still have gaps I haven’t found yet?” Well, I tell you that all of these questions arise from the same underlying cause: the black box of learning.
What Is The Black Box?
The term “black box” comes from the field of engineering and refers to a system that can be observed only in terms of its inputs and outputs, without any knowledge of its internal workings. There is often a problem with understanding or observing the internal processes of complex systems, so the term is often used to describe them.
Learning is characterized by the black box effect because learners are not always aware of the learning process. While learners may have a clear understanding of what they are expected to learn and what their learning outcomes should be, they may not fully comprehend the mechanisms by which they are learning. Lack of understanding can result in anxiety and stress for learners, as they may feel as if they are not in control of their own learning and are uncertain how to improve.
Due to the black box, many students will engage in avoidant behaviors. For example, they may avoid situations in which uncertainties about learning or gaps in knowledge may be exposed for fear of causing anxiety.
- To avoid finding gaps and mistakes in learning, avoid difficult tests
- Avoiding uncertainty by procrastinating
- Social media has become a more willing distraction
- Stress-related disengagement from learning | <urn:uuid:d5e50969-9e01-4e33-ac5c-16ece80607f1> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://9wsodl.com/blog/the-black-box-of-learning-why-students-get-anxious/ | 2024-04-16T05:00:59Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296817043.36/warc/CC-MAIN-20240416031446-20240416061446-00767.warc.gz | en | 0.966045 | 326 |
Solana price action is still headed up in early hours of trading on Monday, adding 1.79% to its value to trade at $243.03. That effectively means that SOL is still trading above its position two weeks ago. It also increases the prospect of another all-time high in the near-term.
Solana’s rise and the prospect of matching BNB
Ten days ago, Solana was the fourth most valuable cryptocurrency by market capitalization. However, it then fell back quickly within a week to the eighth spot. That may have created jitters among some investors, but SOL has bounced back and on course to flipping USDT for the fourth spot.
It is likely that SOL could stay in the fourth position for a longer time this time round. That is because of the resilience it has shown during its downtime to stay within an uptrend. A longer stay in that position could create the traction needed to take on BNB coin in the race to becoming the ultimate “Ethereum killer”. Nonetheless, Solana co-founder, Raj Gokal has recently downplayed the motivation to “kill” Ethereum as being Solana’s main driving force.
Technical analysis for Solana price
Since September 22nd, the Solana price has been on an ascending trajectory, as shown on the chart below. The price is still within the channel and is likely to head higher, based on the strong RSI that is currently at 62. In addition, the MACD indicator is well above the signal line, thus strengthening bullish assertion. If the bulls increase their momentum, the price could rise to the first resistance at $247.08. However, if the price breaches the second resistance at $258.59, SOL could hit a new ATH.
Based on the current momentum, the price is unlikely to head lower significantly. Support is likely to be at $232.76, beyond which the price action could head down to $220s. | <urn:uuid:a9739dc1-b568-45a9-81b3-b76b2765dc4a> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://a3musiconline.com/cryptocurrencies/solana-price-prediction-sol-heading-up-on-course-to-flip-usdt/ | 2024-04-16T05:32:33Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296817043.36/warc/CC-MAIN-20240416031446-20240416061446-00767.warc.gz | en | 0.974008 | 405 |
Did you know March 1st kicks off National Credit Education Month? There’s no better time to learn the ins and outs of your Credit score! Whether you’re credit savvy or starting from scratch, keep an eye out for our #FinancialEdFriday’s for different tips, tricks, and information with everything credit related.
To kick off National Credit Education Month, we are starting at the very beginning, with the history of Credit.
History of Credit
1520 – The term “credit” was first used to describe loan reliability in 14th century London by bankers and financial experts to describe loan reliability.
1968 – Consumer Credit Protection Act, or CCPA, was created to protect consumers from banks, credit card companies’ and other lenders from unethical credit practices. It involves several laws, including protecting consumers from discrimination.
1989 – Fair, Isaac, and Company (or FICO) were chosen to help set up an industry-standard credit score. The FICO score made a consistent credit-scoring algorithm that is still widely used today.
2009 – Credit C.A.R.D. Act was passed in 2009. This act required credit card companies to be clearer in communications to consumers and lessening the “gotcha” fees.
Now let’s talk about what your credit score is, and what it really means.
Your credit score rates your perceived ability to fulfill a financial commitment. Essentially, it is a number showing your “creditworthiness” or how likely you are to make a payment, bill, etc. on time.
Some factors these bureaus use to decide your credit score include payment history, amount owed, account length, account types, credit limit available and new credit.
All credit scores fall between 300 and 850. The higher the number, the better your credit history is. You will start at 300 if you have no credit history, not 0. Generally, a score of 670 or higher is considered good.
How is it used?
Your score is used by various institutions, including lenders, landlords, and employers, to gage how well you handle your finances. Good credit scores can be used to get better rates on loans, insurance premiums, even apartments.
How do I build credit?
The most important thing to recognize is that building credit takes time. It doesn’t happen overnight, and consistency is key. If you keep a credit card and pay on time consistently each month, you’ll be on the right track.
You can build credit in a variety of ways.
- Secured credit cards: A credit card with a cash deposit when opening the card – typically your credit limit.
- Credit Cards: Using a credit card will help build credit, when done correctly. Look for a card with no annual fee or a low APR. Be sure not to run the balance too high. A good rule of thumb is to not exceed 30% of your credit limit.
- Authorized user on credit cards: This is ideal for parents who want to help children build credit. All transactions would be one balance, where the account owner manages payments, but the payment history record is added to both users reports.
- Bill payments: Some credit agencies allow you to add your cell phone and utility bill payments to your credit reports. This shows your ability to pay for usage each month.
- Credit builder loans: The amount borrowed isn’t given to you, but rather the credit union or bank holds it in a savings account while you make repayments. When you repay the loan, you get the money back. This is a great way to build savings and credit in one go.
AAGCU offers credit builder loans to help you in your financial journey. Whether you are looking to set up and build credit, or repair and improve your score, our loan department can help you customize a plan that’s right for you.
Email the loan department at [email protected] or call 206-824-9800 (option 1 for loans) to get the conversation started.
Keep an eye out for more #FinancialEdFriday’s throughout March!

Creating That Perfect Patio or Deck For Your Home
Do you sometimes look at your yard and think “What can be done to make the backyard more usable?” Or are you wondering, “Is it time to remodel or replace that tired patio too?” Well is it? Once the year winds down, it’s common for homeowners to begin thinking about outdoor improvements for the following season.
We’re often asked about the ‘deck vs. patio’ debate when it comes time to renovate. Outdoor living spaces such as decks, porch and patio enclosures have become a cornerstone among home improvement projects. Understandably though, most customers aren’t familiar with planning this type of project. Or where to start, for that matter.
Items To Consider When Think About Adding a Patio or Deck
Landscape: The landscape and elevation around your home will be the deciding factor when addressing the ‘deck vs. patio’ question. Decks allow for elevation and uneven backyards, where a patio would require more labor intensive leveling to provide the ideal surface for a patio.
Cost: Cost is truly decided upon the materials used when comparing ‘deck vs. patio.’ In addition, costs can skyrocket when it comes to added features to either option.
Maintenance: Patios are thought to be maintenance free, but that is far from reality. Patios will require weeding, crack refills or repair, and constant cleaning. In high humidity areas they may require algae and mold preventative maintenance. Maintaining a deck is similar to maintaining a home. If your deck is constructed with wood there will be more routine maintenance like reapplying the sealer, termite prevention, and general cleaning.
Designing Your Patio Enclosure or Deck
Countless times we have clients bring in a drawing on a napkin or scrap paper asking us if we can create their dream backyard area. We love it when this happens!
Our design team help homeowners transition their backyard into an oasis of tranquility and peace by creating patios, patio enclosures, and decks that were once only a dream.
Our design team will start with a on-site inspection of the property and landscape area. During that visit, our designer will discuss the needs and wants of your new outdoor space. We will then begin to create a concept drawing based on your current backyard design which will lead to and final renderings as your vision evolves and crystallizes.
With your goals, design plan and budget in mind, we determine all of the possibilities you can include in your patio or deck, and focus on choices that meet your needs.
Ready to Get Started?

Washington arrives at the annual CES technology showcase today to talk tech policy,highlighted by an appearance from Ivanka Trump, the president’s daughter and adviser, who is a featured keynote speaker.
Trump is likely to talk about the White House’s “Pledge to America’s Workers” that gets commitments from large tech companies to retrain hundreds of thousands of workers in high tech skill sets over the coming years. Trump currently serves along with Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross as co-chair of the National Council for the American Worker, which helps shape administration efforts to develop a competitive workforce for the future.
The appearance is not without controversy. The announcement of Trump’s keynote sparked a #BoycottCES hastag on Twitter. Gary Shapiro, CEO of the Consumer Technology Association that sponsors CES, defended the invitation to Trump over the weekend, telling BBC in an interview she has done “great work.”
“There’s a lot of focus on jobs of the future, and certainly the keynote that I’ll be doing with Ivanka Trump will be focusing on… how industry is working with government on this very important issue,” Shapiro told BBC.
Also on today’s agenda, FCC Chairman Ajit Pai and Federal Trade Commission Chairman Joseph Simons will participate in fireside chat, followed by a panel called “Insights with the FCC and FTC” in the afternoon. The latter panel will feature FCC Commissioners Geoffrey Starks and Michael O’Reilly, as well as FTC Commissioners Rebecca Slaughter and Christine Wilson, discussing regulations on privacy, 5G and the Internet of Things.
Meanwhile, Apple will make its first official speaking appearance at CES in 28 years, pitching the public on its commitment to consumer privacy.
Apple is sending Jane Horvath, its senior director of global privacy, to promote Cupertino’s platform security. She’ll speak on a panel alongside Facebook’s chief privacy officer, who’s likely to make the case for renewing trust in the social network. The appearances will be a departure from the typical CES fare about embedding technology ever-more deeply into our personal lives. But it’s still not clear whether the privacy fanfare is just more hype, or whether 2020 will mark a turning point for the tech industry making good on its promises of protection. Bloomberg News’ Austin Carr has more on privacy talk at CES.
Artificial Intelligence Principles Issued by White House: Federal agencies and the private sector would have new guidelines for developing artificial intelligence technologies, such as AI-powered medical devices and autonomous vehicles and drones, under a draft set of principles from the Trump administration.
The 10 principles released today by the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy would direct federal agencies to develop consistent policies on AI technology, including soliciting public engagement from academics, nonprofits, industry and civil society, while also ensuring the products are safe for the public and don’t discriminate.
“We believe that consistency is really, really important and it sends a very important and very powerful message to industry so that they actually have clarity on the way that they should be thinking about bringing forth products which fall under some sort of regulatory oversight,” Michael Kratsios, U.S. chief technology officer, said on a press call yesterday.
Kratsios and Lynne Parker, the U.S. deputy chief technology officer, are expected to speak further about the the AI regulatory principles during separate panels on Wednesday at CES. Read more on the principles.

Cybersecurity, Infrastructure Top Homeland Security Hill Agenda: Legislation to allow the government to subpoena internet companies in order to protect electric grids and other infrastructure from cyberattacks will be a high priority in early 2020, top homeland security lawmakers say. That legislation would be part of a larger focus on protecting America from an increasing breadth of cybersecurity attacks on its businesses, governments, and citizens, Republicans and Democrats leading the House and Senate homeland security committees said in interviews. They say bipartisan efforts on cyber-related issues may make progress as the 2020 elections vie for lawmakers’ attention and border-security negotiations continue to stall.

Industry and Regulation
Facebook Tightens Policy Against Deepfakes Ahead of Election:Facebook has shed more light on its efforts to eradicate doctored videos known as deepfakes, addressing an issue it’s identified as an emergent threat ahead of the U.S. election. The operator of the world’s largest social network pledged to remove content that has been “edited or synthesized” beyond adjustments for quality or clarity and is deemed likely to mislead viewers. Facebook emphasized, however, that its new rules will not apply to parody or satire. Facebook said videos that don’t immediately meet its internal criteria for removal may still get fact-checked by more than 50 organizations it’s partnered with worldwide. The company added that it will collaborate with Reuters to help newsrooms spot deepfakes through free online courses. Read more from Edwin Chan.
YouTube’s Major Privacy Upheaval on Kids Videos Starts: YouTube overhauled its systems yesterday to comply with a landmark privacy ruling, a move that could dent revenue for the Google video giant and thousands of its creators. Alphabet’s Google settled with federal regulators in September for violating laws on collecting data from minors, and YouTube agreed to a series of changes. Videos designed as “made for kids” would be stripped of targeted ads, which fetch higher prices, and other valuable features, such as user comments and live chats. The Federal Trade Commission, which fined Google over the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act, or COPPA, has given broad directives about what it considers child-directed video, including clips with popular animations and kids play with toys. Individual video creators will face fines for violating COPPA going forward, which has sparked panic. Read more from Mark Bergen.
Google Warns of Monopoly Powers in Oracle Fight: Google urged the U.S. Supreme Court to overturn a ruling that the company’s use of Oracle’s software for the Android mobile operating system violated copyrights, in a case that may reshape legal protections for software code. Google, in a filing to the court dated yesterday, largely repeats the search giant’s well-established arguments in a case that has been contested for almost a decade: That it was legal to use parts of Oracle’s Java programming language to help make Android communicate more easily with other software. A defeat, Google has argued, would restrict further innovation in the computing industry. Read more from Gerrit De Vynck.
Why Digital Taxes Are the New Trade War Flashpoint: Big internet companies have long been the target of complaints that they don’t pay enough in taxes. Fed up, France imposed a 3% levy on the digital revenue of companies that make their sales primarily in cyberspace, such as Facebook and Alphabet’s Google. Other countries also are targeting companies, many of which are American, that have multinational earnings that often escape the taxman’s grip. The U.S. isn’t taking this sitting down.William Horobin and Aoife White provide an overview of the digital tax fight.
Meanwhile, the Computer & Communications Industry Association filed comments and plans testify today at a hearing before the U.S. Trade Representative calling for a strong U.S. response to the French digital services tax, the industry group said in a statement. “We need to make clear that undermining multilateral efforts at global tax reform with unilateral, discriminatory taxes will have consequences,” CCIA President Matt Schruers said in a statement. “CCIA appreciates USTR’s investigation into the French digital tax and its careful consideration of remedies aimed at changing the behavior of partners violating their commitments.”

I. What is Mouthfeel?
Mouthfeel refers to the physical sensations experienced in the mouth when consuming food or beverages. It encompasses a variety of sensory experiences, including texture, temperature, viscosity, and astringency. Mouthfeel plays a crucial role in the overall sensory experience of a product and can greatly influence consumer perception and acceptance.
II. Why is Mouthfeel Important in Sensory Evaluation?
Mouthfeel is a key aspect of sensory evaluation as it provides valuable information about the quality, freshness, and overall appeal of a product. The texture and consistency of a food or beverage can greatly impact how it is perceived by consumers. For example, a creamy and smooth mouthfeel in a yogurt can signal freshness and high quality, while a gritty or slimy texture may be off-putting.
In addition, mouthfeel can also influence the flavor release of a product. The way a food or beverage feels in the mouth can affect how its flavors are perceived and enjoyed. For example, a product with a rich and velvety mouthfeel may enhance the perception of its flavor, while a product with a watery or thin mouthfeel may diminish the overall taste experience.
Overall, mouthfeel is an important component of sensory evaluation as it provides valuable insights into the overall quality, acceptability, and consumer appeal of a product.
III. Factors Influencing Mouthfeel
There are several factors that can influence the mouthfeel of a food or beverage. These include:
1. Texture: The physical properties of a product, such as its smoothness, creaminess, or crunchiness, can greatly impact its mouthfeel. Texture is often determined by the ingredients used, the processing methods employed, and the overall composition of the product.
2. Viscosity: The thickness or thinness of a product can also affect its mouthfeel. Viscosity is influenced by factors such as the amount of water, fat, or other ingredients present in the product, as well as the temperature at which it is consumed.
3. Temperature: The temperature of a food or beverage can greatly influence its mouthfeel. For example, a hot soup may feel comforting and soothing, while a cold ice cream may feel refreshing and invigorating.
4. Astringency: Astringency refers to the dry, puckering sensation experienced in the mouth when consuming certain foods or beverages, such as red wine or tea. Astringency can greatly impact the overall mouthfeel of a product and can influence its perceived quality and acceptability.
IV. Common Terms Used to Describe Mouthfeel
There are several common terms used to describe mouthfeel in sensory evaluation. These include:
1. Creamy: A smooth and rich mouthfeel often associated with dairy products, such as yogurt or ice cream.
2. Chewy: A texture that requires some effort to break down, often associated with foods like beef jerky or caramel.
3. Crispy: A light and crunchy texture often associated with foods that have been fried or baked, such as potato chips or crackers.
4. Gritty: A rough and grainy texture often associated with foods that contain particles or grains, such as certain types of bread or cereal.
5. Watery: A thin and liquid-like texture often associated with beverages like water or juice.
V. Techniques for Evaluating Mouthfeel
There are several techniques that can be used to evaluate the mouthfeel of a food or beverage. These include:
1. Tasting: The most common method for evaluating mouthfeel is through tasting. This involves taking a small amount of the product into the mouth and paying attention to the texture, viscosity, and overall sensation experienced.
2. Swallowing: Swallowing the product allows for the evaluation of how it feels as it moves down the throat and into the stomach. This can provide valuable information about the overall mouthfeel and digestibility of the product.
3. Chewing: Chewing the product thoroughly can help to assess its texture, consistency, and how it breaks down in the mouth. This can provide insights into the overall mouthfeel and eating experience.
4. Visual Inspection: Visual inspection can also provide valuable information about the mouthfeel of a product. For example, observing the thickness or thinness of a soup or the creaminess of a yogurt can give clues about its texture and overall mouthfeel.
VI. How to Improve Mouthfeel in Food Products
There are several ways to improve the mouthfeel of a food product to enhance its overall sensory experience and consumer appeal. These include:
1. Adjusting Ingredients: Changing the ingredients used in a product can greatly impact its mouthfeel. For example, adding cream or butter to a sauce can increase its richness and creaminess, while adding sugar or fat to a baked good can improve its texture and consistency.
2. Modifying Processing Methods: Altering the processing methods employed can also improve the mouthfeel of a product. For example, using different cooking techniques or temperatures can affect the texture and consistency of a food, while changing the mixing or blending methods can impact its overall mouthfeel.
3. Incorporating Textural Additives: Adding textural additives, such as thickeners, stabilizers, or emulsifiers, can improve the mouthfeel of a product. These additives can help to enhance the viscosity, creaminess, or overall texture of a food or beverage.
4. Conducting Consumer Testing: Conducting consumer testing can help to gather feedback on the mouthfeel of a product and identify areas for improvement. By soliciting input from consumers, manufacturers can make adjustments to the texture, consistency, and overall mouthfeel of a product to better meet consumer preferences.
In conclusion, mouthfeel is a critical aspect of sensory evaluation that greatly influences the overall quality, acceptability, and consumer appeal of a food or beverage product. By understanding the factors that influence mouthfeel, using common terms to describe it, employing techniques for evaluating it, and implementing strategies to improve it, manufacturers can enhance the sensory experience of their products and meet the expectations of consumers. | <urn:uuid:2e7edea7-797c-4c9c-b8c7-1d5780e9088d> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://acadofchoc.com/sensory-evaluation-glossary/mouthfeel/ | 2024-04-16T04:22:40Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296817043.36/warc/CC-MAIN-20240416031446-20240416061446-00767.warc.gz | en | 0.944244 | 1,251 |

Resin Bound Surfacing
Stunning Resin Bound Surfaces supplied from our Essex HQ, across the UK.
**New** DIY Resin Kits Now Available to Buy Online > Shop Now
Resin Bound Surface Installation Benefits
Several factors contribute towards permeable resin-bound surfacing being a more suitable option for your surface needs. Explore our page to find out more about why our fully permeable resin-bound surfaces are for you:
Resin-bound surfaces are a cost-effective way of improving your surface. It can be applied over the existing tarmac at a much cheaper price than what it would be to rip it up first.
Achieve an amazing, clean and professional look. Choose from various colours that can match your property and its surroundings to create an aesthetically pleasing environment.
Also, due to the material’s permeable nature, you do not need to request planning permission. Lastly, a stylish permeable resin-bound surface can increase your home’s overall value should you wish to sell in the future.
Durability & Longevity
High-quality resin-bound surfaces are extremely durable. This is due to their composition of 4 layers. The top is a sealed natural aggregate (read more about our dried aggregates later) that is resistant to extreme weather and high pressure, which can be caused by dropped items or heavy vehicles driving over it. Their composition also lets them keep their colour over the years. Read more about resin surface care and maintenance.
Wide Range of Colours
Our resin surfaces are available in a variety of colours. From dark tones like Twilight to warmer shades such as Devon Yellow at Ace Resin, we guarantee to have the colour for you.
To view our exclusive selection of resin colours, visit our colour chart page. If requested, we can offer a mix-and-match service. This will allow you to create a bespoke blend of coloured loose stones sealed with resin.
A permeable resin surface is porous, meaning it does not let puddles build up on your driveway, meaning no more wet feet. With this, you are also not impeding the growth of trees, so you can also help with your contribution to the environment.
Why choose permeable resin-bound surfacing?
A permeable resin-bound paving surface offers unique natural filtering of water as it seeps through the natural sealed dried aggregate, down into the porous open surface asphalt and finally through the sub-base into the earth.
Avoid the common problem of conventional paving, whereby rainwater simply runs off into the local drainage system. The UK receives a significant amount of rainfall. Therefore our drains often become overwhelmed, resulting in blockages and street flooding.
With a permeable driveway patio surface, the soil underneath absorbs any excess water naturally. This eco-friendly factor greatly reduces the risk of flooding.
Also, as rainfall filters through the resin-bound paving surface, the impurities are separated out, reducing the risk of water pollution.
The natural drainage power of permeable resin-bound surfaces is not the only attribute that helps the environment. We use a mixture of natural aggregates, recycled glass and reused marble. As we use a grid system to physically install the resin-bound gravel surface, this means it can be removed and used elsewhere for different purposes.
Quick, Simple Installation
Compared to a heavy tarmac or concrete surface, resin-bound driveways do not require specialised high-tech machinery to be installed. Once the base layers have been laid down, the resin-bound aggregates are mixed on-site and laid with a hand trowel to ensure absolute precision of the highest quality with a smooth finish.
For more information, check out our article 5 Reasons to get a Permeable Resin Driveway.
What are dried aggregates?
Dried aggregates are a hybrid mixture of rock, stone and mineral fragments that have been crushed to similar sizes. They can be decorative like our seashell design or plain black, depending on the finish you wish to achieve. At Ace Resin, we even offer glowing stones illuminating your driveway every evening.
All of our aggregates are washed, cleaned and dried before use. This is essential for the crushed stone to achieve a strong bond with the resin solution. Our dried aggregates are of the highest quality and are sourced from the natural environment.
Despite this, we can still offer a wide range of colour choices. As our stones occur naturally, no colour pigments are required, meaning the colour of the aggregates will not fade over time.
How much do Resin Driveways cost (UK)?
We guarantee that our prices will always remain competitive. We only install resin-bound driveways of the highest quality to create a stunning, durable driveway to be proud of.
The average cost of a resin-bound driveway is £50-£100/per m², but every project we take on is always unique to our customers. We also have to factor in labour costs within our pricing.
A variety of factors affect the cost of a resin-bound driveway:
- Size and layout
- Colour/Style choice
- Customised depth of aggregate
- Your existing driveway surface

The Importance of SUDs
Sustainable Urban Drainage System
Demands that only porous materials are used for both new build projects and when asked to re-lay existing areas. Our Resin Bound materials are 100% compliant with SUD’s regulations, therefore making it stand out when searching for a new surface to be laid.
Resin-bound Driveway Maintenance
A resin-bound driveway requires little maintenance. This greatly reduces the overall cost of a resin-bound system. Once it is laid, any spillages or stains you get on it can be easily removed using a jet washer.
Resin surfacing is weed repellent, and the driveway is treated with weed repellent before installation of the resin-bound surface. However, weed seedlings can begin to appear due to seed dispersal from animals and winds. If you notice this, simply pull the weed out directly by hand, ensuring the entire root is removed.
If any fluids from your car leak onto your new resin-bound driveway, such as brake fluid, oil or fuel, this must be removed as soon as possible. Use warm water to gently wipe away the spillage. Failure to do so may result in staining or discolouration of your
However, over the years, your driveway may begin to look worn. This is not a problem as we offer a cleaning service that will be sure to give it a new lease of life. Be sure to contact us regarding Resin Bound Restoration.

Frequently Asked Questions
What’s the difference between a resin bound driveway and a resin bonded driveway?
Resin bound is an eco-friendly, highly porous paving solution for ground surfacing. It is a choice of decorative aggregates mixed with specialist resins then hand trowelled to give a flat smooth surface suitable for driveways, paths and patios.
Resin bond is laid in a different manner to resin bound materials. It involves applying a layer of resin to the existing surface, which aggregates are then scattered in to the top of. This gives a non-porous surface, which has a coarser finish and leaves a certain amount of loose stone on the final surface.
How long will a resin bound driveway last?
A resin bound driveway is a strong and durable surface, that is resistant to weather conditions. Comparable products like Tarmac or Asphalt can soften in the summer heat and freeze in cold of winter, they will also be damaged by UV light. Resin is much more stable than these alternatives performing well year round in some of the UK’s worst weather. Our driveways come with a 10 year guarantee and can last to a good standard for 25+ years.
Can I lay a resin driveway over my existing driveway?
This depends on the type and condition of your existing driveway. However, it should be laid on an appropriate sub-base of either asphalt or concrete.
Do I need planning permission for a resin driveway?
If you have an existing driveway then planning permission will not be required. For any newly installed driveways or extensions planning permission is required for surfaces such as traditional block paving, flags and tarmac. | <urn:uuid:d55078cb-855d-469c-bfa7-9ba23a239a58> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://aceresin.co.uk/resin-bound-surfaces/ | 2024-04-16T05:21:41Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296817043.36/warc/CC-MAIN-20240416031446-20240416061446-00767.warc.gz | en | 0.932989 | 1,832 |
After looking around the play store, I came across a new adaptation of the 2048 game, and it since this one also says you can make money, I thought I would make a Hyper 2048 review.
This is a game present on the app store; however, it is only available for certain regions.
However, if you one of those who can install it, you are likely wondering if this game pays out or not.
So in this review, I will be downloading it for myself and testing out.
As the app’s name, there is some hype with this one, so if you want to know if they are legit, you have come to the right place.

Hyper 2048 Review Summary
- Owner: Shape Keeper
- What Are They?: 2048 Game
- My Worth It Rating: 2/5
What Is Hyper 2048?
Hyper 2048 is a game that combines the act of merging balls together in a container with the opportunity to make money apparently.
The developers in Shape Keeper responsible for this game are too familiar to me and maybe for you too since they have many other plays to earn money games out there.
Most of their games are mostly the same, give or take the odd aspect that has been tweaked, such as name and theme.
No matter what they create, the app always does well since their advertising is attention-grabbing.
Because there claims that people can cash in for $100’s of dollars at every turn almost, it has resulted in millions of installs.
You would think, though, if their first games never paid out, why would they continue to do well, even though 10’s of thousands of people leave reviews saying payments of missing.
How Does Hyper 2048 Work?
2048 is a game concept where you combine numbers together, and Shape Keeper has made their own version.
The game at first plays in auto mode. You have balls being dropping within what looks to be a container.
Underneath it, you have a lock. This unlocks when you have completed the mission (level).
Now you have balls with different numbers, all of which are numbers.
What you need to do is drop these down and merge them with its own number.
To explain this, let me show you an example:
At the top, with arrows pointing down from you, see the number 16.
Directly underneath, there is also another 16 ball.
If I drop this, it will add together to become a 32.
This will cause a ripple effect as that will merge with the 32 to make 64.
There are different missions you can complete. Some may require you to clear black balls while others need you to merge a certain amount of balls together before you can move on.
One catch to be aware of and an aspect familiar with other Shape Keeper games is you are given an allocated amount of balls.
When these run out, you must wait a few minutes for the balls refill, or alternatively, you can watch a video.
After you have completed a mission, though, you will get a spin on a wheel. This also goes for reaching levels.
Prizes on this wheel range from PayPal cash to power-ups in-game.
How To Make Money With Hyper 2048?
Making money is done organically by merging balls together.
For each one you merge, you get a 1 or 2 cents.
To add, you get bonuses for each level you work through. This is very typical of an app like this one.
I found that it wasn’t typical because the amount of money you earn early on isn’t easy to come by.
It’s a slow flow of money, and while I have played games where my balance shows $50 within 30 minutes of installing, in this case, I barely had $5.
This is unusual because app developers like to flood new users with cash. However, as they play on, they eventually pull the plug.
It’s given users that feeling that they may actually win.
How Do They Pay?
There isn’t too much to cover with Hyper 2048’s payouts.
In total, there are four ways to request a payment, but only one payout source in PayPal.
Here are the conditions for each (or you can check out the picture below)
- 1 million coins – $2
- Cash – $100
- Collect 30 Decorations – $1000
- Collect $100 PayPal cards – $100
All 4 seem reasonable, but you will find it hard to reach.
Specifically, the last two, as you are relying on the game to give you them as opposed to coins and cash earned at every level.
What You Need To Know About
1. Not Available Worldwide
It’s uncommon to find games that are barred off for some regions.
You will have games that remove their in-game opportunities, but you will find that to be more likely than being geo-blocked.
Never the less, Hyper 2048 was marked as not available in my country from here in the UK.
I only bumped into it from checking other games from Shape Keeper.
So if you go to find it, you may not be able to find it on the app store as it depends on where you’re from.
However, despite that, Shape Keeper keep their trend up of guiding apps to over hundreds of thousand installs.
2. Enjoyable Gameplay
I am yet to say this with a Shape Keeper game because normally, the game’s incentive is only to make dollars.
If we take the Plinko series they have, it consists of dropping down balls and collecting cash.
That is pretty much it, and because of that, it gets boring quickly.
However, interestingly Hyper 2048 isn’t like that, there is more to it, and it encourages their users to think more.
As a result, I found it fun to play.
Now admittedly, there is the same game out there just under different names,
For instance, you have:
But even though those two are suspiciously similar, I can’t say at the least that Hyper 2048 isn’t enjoyable to play as it is.
3. Reasonable Payouts
What I noticed with Hyper 2048 is the amount of money they give out is much lower than you would expect.
Some games will give you money frequently and a lot of it, especially at the start.
But in the case of this game, not as much money is given out.
Like I said with my experiences, I only made a few dollars while playing.
I haven’t cashed it out, but it is somewhat realistic, which is often not the case.
When you have all these games giving you all this money (which you likely won’t be able to cash out), it gives users the illusion that making money is easy.
You can’t, though, make hundreds through just playing games, but people start to think it’s possible.
Even though there are good aspects to Hyper 2048, with the game being nice to play and the earning being realistic, it is unlikely anyone will get rewarded.
For someone to supposedly get paid, they need to reach $100. However, I found there were too many people reaching $90 or around that mark from my findings.
Once people had collected that total, the earning seemed to stop, hence making it impossible to request any type of payment as Shape Keeper has stopped giving out.
I have seen the developers reply to some users within the Google Play Store saying how they have ‘a lot of lucky winners,’ but I need to see proof that they do payout for me to say they are legit.
And because there is none, I will be filing this one as an app not to go near if you want to make extra cash.
I hope this Hyper 2048 review was of great help to you!

By 2020, ACU will become the premier university in Christ-centered education.
At least, that’s what the 21st Century Vision states as its primary objective and lists the ways that ACU hopes to achieve that goal.
The vision aims to make ACU a better university academically, spiritually and physically and contains four imperatives, said executive vice president Phil Schubert.
“We want to produce leaders who think critically, globally and missionally; build distinctive and innovative programs; provide a unique Christ-centered environment with good student community and extend ACU’s reach nationally and internationally,” Schubert said.
Sounds great – but how does the university exactly plan to achieve these goals?
Several different aspects make up the vision, which focuses on spiritual, academic and physical improvements to the campus.
After planning the vision for three years, Schubert said the administration plans to choose a select number of academic programs they believe represent the university best and market and invest extensively in those.
The investments may include faculty research grants, student scholarships and help with internships.
Giving more funding to programs at the university would provide added benefits to both faculty and students and would enrich the educational value of the spotlighted programs.
Another aspect of the vision involves catering more to students outside of the Churches of Christ.
Schubert said the university does not plan to abandon its Church of Christ roots, but wants to encourage students who are not Church of Christ to attend ACU.
“Being clearer about our heritage will be central to who we are in the future,” Schubert said.
Attempting to reach out to non-Church of Christ students will create great spiritual diversity on campus and would allow for students to experience a broader viewpoint on Christianity.
“There’s already a trend with students from broader Christian backgrounds coming to ACU,” Schubert said. “We just want to specifically acknowledge that trend and embrace it.”
The vision also includes a new academic plan that involves completely changing the core curriculum and tailoring it more to specific majors, Schubert said.
“The focus will be on how to create a learning environment that is exciting for students,” Schubert said. “But we’re still thinking about how to make it innovative and exciting for them.”
Giving students a core curriculum based on majors would definitely be more beneficial to them, and paying money for a generic class that won’t help students in their chosen professions seems like a waste of that money.
Schubert also said that while some believe the plans for the vision will make ACU more exclusive in admissions processes, it is not at all a part of the vision.
He added that the only way admissions processes would grow to be more exclusive would be if ACU became too crowded and had to increase selectivity.
Another plan the vision has involves more renovations to campus facilities and amenities, like adding a sports recreation center and renovating the Bean to make it a better student hang-out, Schubert said.
“If we’ve got a better campus life, I think that will reflect better on the academic life of the school,” Schubert said.
Schubert said the vision will take at least 10 years to unfold and at this stage, the plan lacks specificity of investments. The planners have not yet decided where to invest money and how to best begin implementing the vision.
Beginning the vision will cost somewhere around $12- 15 million, Schubert said. He said there really wasn’t a way to pinpoint the exact cost of the vision but said the cost is definitely worth it to the school.
The administration needs to move quickly with the beginning stages of the visionso ACU students can experience this new spiritual diversity, a more beneficial core curriculum and enhanced community.
The 21st Century Vision may not be perfect, but the steps the administration plans to take will certainly help make ACU into a better institution. | <urn:uuid:0acbdfc7-4c76-4ac2-b41f-94a3fa2c45d7> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://acuoptimist.com/2007/12/21st-century-vision-benefits-students-campus/ | 2024-04-16T03:24:08Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296817043.36/warc/CC-MAIN-20240416031446-20240416061446-00767.warc.gz | en | 0.962436 | 834 |

The story of Emily and Brad and their wedding at Petrata Castle
Petrata Castle stands not far from Assisi, in beautiful Umbria.
It is an 'ancient fortress of the 14th century immersed in nature and surrounded by a private park of 50 hectares, with pleasant and romantic views set in a frame composed of olive groves, orchards, woods and green meadows.
The spaciousness of the location and the different possible solutions allow guests to experience every corner of the Castle, each one different from the other, creating a unique reception.
Emily and Brad's wedding at Petrata Castle was from a photographic point of view, a unique event. Two solar and in love young guys, who celebrated their day basing everything on celebration and happiness. The strong emotions they had for each other were captured and felt by everyone present. This helped create an atmosphere of joy.
I had the pleasure of working with these two young men, with kind hearts and sensitive souls for everything around them. They were extremely grateful to have celebrated their wedding at Petrata Castle, and I was happy to have had the opportunity to get to know them and tell them about their day.
In conclusion, I wanted to do a little personal reflection after this recently concluded year.
The year 2022 was a very busy season for me, but one that allowed me to visit many new locations and regions throughout Italy. I traveled from north to south and met couples from all over the world. I have photographed events just about everywhere, from a wedding at a masseria in Puglia, south Italy, to a wedding in Trentino, north Italy; from the wedding of Canadian boys in Tuscany, to the wedding at Petrata Castle in this story.
Many couples have remained in my heart, and I can say with certainty that some moments I will not easily forget. Always putting all my sensitivity on the line in order to portray love can have both its negative and positive sides. But I must admit that for me and my work, there is nothing more motivating than traveling, meeting new people and especially new cultures. From which I can learn, I can immerse myself and I can portray through photographs.
I am happy, as an update to March 2023, to say that this beautiful wedding at Petrata Castle has been selected by the very important world-class blog, RockMyWedding, for publication: View the Article
Here is the List of everyone who helped make this day unique:

I know my blogging habits have been super sporadic lately. Like today, there’s less than an hour left for this Monday. LOL Sorry bout that but I hope to get back to routine posting Monday mornings soon. But, hey, it’s still Monday and this blog if you happen to be up late, I pray it will bless you as you go to sleep tonight or if you’re catching it Tuesday, Happy Tuesday!
What’s on my heart is how I really wish we made the main thing, the main thing. We went to see Sound of Freedom tonight and I’m so rocked. This blog is going to be super short because all I really want to communicate is that if you’ve seen that amazing movie, then what will you do to make a difference? And if you haven’t seen it, please go and see it and then ask God what you can do to help be the change this world needs. Each of us can make a difference. There is something we can all do even if it is to pray and to give to organizations who are rescuing children from this awful, dark world.
Whatever you do, please don’t read this and let it fall on deaf ears. Seeing that horrible reality tonight has made me want to evaluate how I spend money, how I spend my time, and what I can do to make a bigger difference.
Our children’s homes have helped rescue 121 kids from those unthinkable conditions but ohhh the hundreds of thousands of kids who have yet to be reached, please at minimum, commit to join me in prayer for these who have no hope except for a miracle of being rescued. Pray with me the enemy’s plans will be confused and that the light of the gospel will reach into the darkest of hearts. 21 of our children currently need to be sponsored at $80/mo. We have funding for the 100, Praise God. Whether you help us or someone else who is making a difference or you start doing something personally to stop human trafficking and slavery, please do something and don’t discount what you have to give.
I never do this in my blog but that movie has so moved me and I hope this blog moves you to go see Sound of Freedom or if you have seen it, to take action to help these children have a happy Monday instead of unbelievably horrid Mondays, Tuesdays, Wednesdays, Thursdays, Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays!
And I also pray this helps your perspective to shift away from useless, time-wasting church, family, friend, or work drama toward what really matters….a lost and dying world. | <urn:uuid:bf645fac-e596-45b8-a3f3-0ada12d9b9f1> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://adriennecooley.com/2023/08/happy-monday-11/ | 2024-04-16T03:49:44Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296817043.36/warc/CC-MAIN-20240416031446-20240416061446-00767.warc.gz | en | 0.9566 | 547 |

GMO Labeling Will Cost Consumers Less Than a Penny a Day, New Report Says
Portland, OR – A new analysis commissioned by Consumers Union, the policy arm of Consumer Reports, and conducted by the independent Portland-based economic research firm, ECONorthwest, found from a review of published research that the median cost to consumers of requiring labeling of genetically engineered food, also known as genetically modified (or GMO) food, is $2.30 per person annually. The report is available online now here.
“That’s less than a penny a day for each consumer—a tiny fraction of the cost estimates put out by industry and certainly a very small price to pay for consumers’ right to know if their food has been genetically engineered,” said Jean Halloran, Director of Food Policy Initiatives at Consumers Union.
Consumers Union strongly supports Oregon’s GMO labeling ballot initiative, Measure 92. “Given the minimal cost to consumers, the increased herbicide use involved in growing almost all genetically engineered crops, as well as the failure of government to require human safety assessments before genetically engineered foods reach the marketplace, GMO labeling is well worth it,” Halloran said. “Companies change their labeling all the time and with GMO labeling costing so little, it is likely some producers won’t even bother to pass the minimal increase on to consumers.”
Consumers Union disputes claims made in ads opposing Measure 92 that labeling will force farmers and food producers to spend “millions” and increase food costs for consumers. The group also takes issue with the assumptions made by industry-funded studies that it says have overestimated the cost of similar GMO labeling proposals in California, Washington and New York—putting the cost at $100-$200 annually (or $400-$800 for a family of four).
“Industry cost estimates incorporate unrealistic assumptions about how GMO labeling requirements will drive food producers to switch to all organic ingredients, which would be much more expensive. However, there is no factual basis for this assumption and we believe producers will continue to sell GMO foods once they are labeled, and many consumers will continue to buy them, with no discernible price impact,” asserted Halloran. “Measure 92 simply requires foods that contain genetically engineered ingredients to be labeled so that consumers can make an informed choice.”
Genetically engineered foods are already required to be labeled in 64 foreign countries, including many where American food producers sell their wares. Labeling has not increased food prices in those countries, according to Consumers Union.
“Producers are required to label foods that are frozen, from concentrate, homogenized, or irradiated, as well as a food’s country of origin. Poll after poll has found that more than 90 percent of consumers want foods that are genetically engineered to be labeled,” said Halloran.
In addition to the Oregon initiative, a GMO labeling requirement is on the ballot in Colorado in November. Vermont has already passed legislation requiring GMO labeling, and legislatures in dozens of other states are considering similar labeling bills.

Owners of civic or private buildings to which the public have access, such as leisure centres, schools, museums, shops, railways stations and more - will understand that installing a new roof is a major undertaking with many considerations. Respecting and complying with local and specific regulations is essential and the outcome of this initial stage will determine the success of the project.
New roofs and exteriors are associated with significant capital expenditure so sustainability and durability are also important. Using products of sufficiently good quality means that they will not need to be replaced frequently. Not forgetting the key function of a new roof - to protect the health and wellbeing of all visitors, staff and occupants of the building!
The choice of roofing materials will depend on several factors that may be prioritised according to the nature of the project. Owners may prefer thermal and acoustic comfort over high noise levels and efficiency. Other may choose greater fire resistance over a roof light or impact resistance versus renovation. Onduline can advise you on the most appropriate material for your individual requirements and on the best ways of keeping the business fully operational and members of the public safe during the works.

Cat dental insurance is a type of insurance coverage specifically designed to help cat owners manage the costs associated with their feline companion’s dental care. Just like humans, cats can experience dental issues such as gum disease, tooth decay, and oral infections. These conditions can be painful for cats and may require expensive treatments. Cat dental insurance aims to provide financial assistance to cat owners, ensuring that their pets receive the necessary dental care without breaking the bank.
Why is dental care important for cats?
Proper dental care is crucial for cats to maintain their overall health and well-being. Dental problems in cats can lead to pain, discomfort, and even more severe health issues if left untreated. Cats rely on their teeth for various activities such as eating, grooming, and playing. Dental issues can significantly impact their quality of life.
Common dental problems in cats include periodontal disease, tooth resorption, and oral tumors. Periodontal disease, caused by the buildup of plaque and tartar, can lead to gum inflammation, tooth loss, and even damage to vital organs such as the heart and kidneys. Tooth resorption, a condition where the tooth structure breaks down, can cause extreme pain and necessitate tooth extraction. Oral tumors can be benign or malignant and require prompt diagnosis and treatment.
What does cat dental insurance cover?
Cat dental insurance plans typically cover a range of dental procedures and treatments. These may include routine dental cleanings, dental examinations, tooth extractions, X-rays, and treatment for oral diseases and infections. Some plans may also cover pre-existing conditions, although waiting periods may apply.
It’s important to note that not all cat dental insurance plans are the same. Some plans may have limitations or exclusions for specific dental conditions or treatments. Therefore, it is crucial to carefully review the terms and conditions of the insurance policy to understand what is covered and what is not.
How does cat dental insurance work?
Cat dental insurance works similarly to other types of pet insurance. Pet owners pay a monthly or annual premium to the insurance provider in exchange for coverage. When a dental issue arises, the owner can take their cat to a veterinarian of their choice. After paying for the veterinary services upfront, the owner can submit a claim to the insurance provider for reimbursement.
The reimbursement process varies depending on the insurance company. Some providers offer direct reimbursement to the veterinarian, while others require the pet owner to pay upfront and then submit a claim for reimbursement. It’s essential to understand the reimbursement process and any deductible or co-payment requirements before purchasing cat dental insurance.
Is cat dental insurance worth it?
The value of cat dental insurance depends on various factors, including the cat’s age, breed, and overall dental health. Younger cats may have fewer dental issues, making insurance less necessary, while older cats or breeds prone to dental problems may benefit more from coverage.
The cost of cat dental insurance also needs to be considered. Premiums can vary based on the coverage level, deductible, and reimbursement percentage. It is essential to compare different insurance providers and their plans to find the one that offers the best value for your cat’s specific needs.
Ultimately, cat dental insurance can provide peace of mind and financial assistance in managing unexpected dental expenses. Regular dental care is essential for cats, and having insurance coverage can encourage pet owners to prioritize their cat’s oral health.
Cat dental insurance is a valuable tool for cat owners to ensure their feline companions receive the necessary dental care without incurring significant financial burdens. By covering a range of dental procedures and treatments, cat dental insurance helps cat owners manage the costs associated with maintaining their cat’s oral health. However, it is essential to carefully review the terms and conditions of the insurance policy and consider the specific needs of your cat before making a decision.

In early 2020 when the United States under the Trump administration opened direct talks with the Taliban, many mainstream American media began to paint a new image of the Taliban. In February the same year, the New York Times published an opinion piece under the name of Sirajuddin Haqqani, the then-head of Haqqani network and current minister of interior affairs of the regime. In the write-up, Siraj talked on a range of issues including future challenges, inclusiveness of the government, respect of international conventions, and women’s rights albeit within the principles of Islam.
Taliban rule has evidently produced losers and winners. With the regime barring women from work and girls from higher education, the situation of women in Afghanistan is a forgotten tragedy. Ever since August 2021, the Taliban have tightened a series of draconian enforcements such as the ban on women from travel without a mahram—a chaperon—, girls ban from higher education, women from work, and public floggings that often take place across the country. The most shocking phenomenon that often makes headlines in the country is the rate of suicide among women. Though suicide, an act religiously forbidden by Islam, in most cases remain hidden in Afghanistan, the report shows an unprecedented increase in the suicide rate, notably among women under Taliban rule. A few brave women who took to the streets in the aftermath of the Taliban return demanding rights to education and work were silenced bit by bit. Women who were detained by the regime recount shattering stories of torture, abuse and in some cases forced marriage with young Taliban commanders.
The plight of women in Afghanistan gets worse as they do not have a unified voice against a barbarian regime that in one hand fears their presence in public domain and on the other hand excludes them from social lives without any consequential prospects. With the Western governments preoccupied with war in Ukraine, the question of Afghanistan and the situation of women in the country do not interest politicians on international stage. Exactly like Afghanistan, the country’s women have been taken as hostages by a regime that seeks to use population as a bargaining chip in the political game of foreign aid and possible recognition.
Taliban apologists on international stages seek to smokescreen the realities, notably the situation of women, and make a dishonest argument. To channel foreign aid to the regime’s begging bowl, they say that it is the hardliner circle within the regime that hinders progress and creates stumbling blocks against women rights to education and work while tempting to turn a blind eye on the dogged stubbornness of Taliban ideology and the rigid vice and virtue policy of the outfit.
Between the regime’s vice and virtue policy, life gets harder for women as the Taliban struggle to consolidate their grip over the population in cities. More misery looms for women in Afghanistan as the Taliban struggle to govern. Under the Taliban rule, the fate of women who are the primary losers in the aftermath of Taliban comeback to power continues to be a forgotten tragedy.
Yet in the region, many governments try to save the regime in power. The Pakistanis officially treat it as a “caretaker government”. Last week in a pure act of appeasement, the Islamic government of Iran handed over the charge of the Afghan embassy to the Taliban. Erdogan’s Turkiye will continue to play both sides. China, Japan, and Russia prefer not to risk their relationships with the regime on the issue of women’s rights. The gulf states continue to support the regime both morally and technically.
Though rights organizations headquartered in the West continue to maintain business as usual in Afghanistan public opinion and policymakers are divided in Western countries in terms of the future prospects in the country. As these rights organizations worry that the Taliban regime may resort to extreme violence to fully silence the whole women population, many in Europe and in the United States are convinced that Taliban restrictions on women is a century-old Afghan tradition that must be respected within its context.
Since the Taliban seized power in August 2021 and American troops left Kabul, the country plunged into the abyss of despair, ignorance, and loneliness. Almost the entire population is living in despair and poverty. The regime feeds its soldiers and supporters with ignorance and illusion. Women pay it to the fullest. With the regime’s police back on the city streets, the women of Afghanistan realize they are left alone and have nowhere to turn. They also know that a regime that depends on illusion and guns will not last long.

The man, who had been kayaking from the Isle of Man to Northern Ireland from early morning on Wednesday (8 June) became fatigued and, when he couldn’t see land, raised the alarm for help.
Both the inshore lifeboat from Portaferry RNLI and the all-weather lifeboat from Peel RNLI on Mann were requested to launch.
The pagers at Portaferry RNLI sounded shortly after 5pm as the station’s operational and fundraising volunteers were enjoying a visit by the RNLI’s chief executive Mark Dowie.
The inshore lifeboat, helmed by Chris Adair and with three crew onboard, launched immediately and made its way to the scene some 14 miles out from the Strangford Narrows. The Irish Coast Guard’s Dublin-based helicopter Rescue 116 was also tasked.
Weather conditions at the time were drizzly but there was good visibility. The sea was calm and there was a Force 3 easterly wind blowing. Once on scene at 5.58pm, the crew faced a Force 4 wind, fair visibility and a rough sea state.
The volunteer crew assessed the situation before helping the casualty out of his kayak and bringing him onboard the lifeboat.
He was then transferred to Peel RNLI’s all-weather lifeboat where he was brought inside the wheelhouse to be warmed up.
Both Portaferry and Peel lifeboat crews made their way to Portaferry with the casualty, who was checked over to ensure he was safe and well before he got warmed up with pizza and tea at the station.
Speaking following the callout, Philip Johnston, Portaferry RNLI lifeboat operations manager said: “The casualty was wearing the appropriate gear for kayaking and made the right decision to call the coastguard for help once he found the conditions too much.
“We would like to wish him well and thank our fellow volunteers from Peel and our colleagues in the coastguard who were also on scene.
“The pagers went off as our volunteers were having a meeting with Mark Dowie, our chief executive who was visiting from England. We were delighted to update him on our lifesaving work at Portaferry RNLI and were equally delighted to be brought up to speed from him on the various work that is happening across our charity that we are all so passionate about.
“As the pagers went off, Mark commented that out of the 124 stations that he has visited so far, we were the fourth station to have a call out during his visit.”
#RNLI - Two British naval war ships, three helicopters and a fishing vessel joined Peel RNLI in the dramatic rescue of a trawler between Northern Ireland and the Isle of Man in the early hours of Wednesday morning (21 September).
The 20m converted fishing vessel from Kilkeel in Co Down was on passage in the Irish Sea from Glasgow to Conwy in Wales when it started taking water through the stern tube and was in danger of sinking some 11 miles west of the Isle of Man.
Peel's all-weather lifeboat Ruby Clery, under the command of coxswain Paul Cain, launched shortly after the volunteer crew were alerted at 1.30am.
Northern Irish fishing vessel Stephanie M gave shelter to the casualty until the lifeboat crew were able to put a pump on board to evacuate the water.
The vessel, with three adults and one child on board, was soon stabilised and helicopters and other vessels stood down. The trawler was then taken in tow by the lifeboat bound for Peel.
During this time, a young woman and the child were taken ill, so the tow was dropped about 15 minutes from Peel and the two taken to a waiting ambulance where they were treated and then removed to Nobles Hospital.
Meanwhile, the lifeboat returned to the stricken vessel, which was now under its own power, and escorted it into Peel Harbour at about 5am.
"We advise people to always check their equipment before leaving port," said Cain after the callout.
The Peel Traditional Boat Weekend at the hospitable port on the west coast of the Isle of Man has been developing steadily since its inception in 1991. Located in the middle of the Irish Sea, the Peel gathering has become a magnet for boat enthusiasts of all kinds from Ireland, Wales, England and Scotland. W M Nixon sampled it for the first time in August 2013, and found that it deserves its hospitable reputation.
#peel – Cruising around the Isle of Man is dictated by its extraordinary tides. We may not be talking of the exceptional ranges of the Bay of Fundy, but you're right up with the North Coast of Brittany in the island's huge rise and fall. As for the ports, there are only two which have been fitted with automatic gate flaps that retain enough water in their harbours for civilised berthing at marina pontoons when the tide has receded.
These are the island's capital of Douglas on the east coast, and the ancient fishing stronghold of Peel on the west. At other ports such as Ramsey, Laxey and Castletown, you have to be prepared to dry out alongside. There are anchorages of sorts available at the main sailing centre of Port St Mary on the south coast (where it is also possible to lie afloat alongside at low water, but it's an unbelievably long way down), at Derbyhaven in behind the island's southeast corner of Langness, and at Port Erin towards the southwest corner, but they don't really provide the restful berths which cruising folk hope to find at the end of a day's sail.
We'd hoped to round out our two year sailing celebration of the centenary of Dickie Gomes' 36ft yawl J B Kearney Ainmara by an easygoing circuit cruise of the Isle of Man (the old girl won the Round Isle of Man Race in 1964, when she was but a stripling of fifty-two summers), and conclude it with participation in the Peel Traditional Boat Weekend 2013, in its turn the concluding event in the Irish Sea of the Golden Jubilee celebrations of the Old Gaffers Association, in which we'd already been much involved in Dublin and Belfast. But it was a programme which just couldn't be made to integrate.
While the Isle of Man would be attractive to cruise round if the harbours at Ramsey, Castletown and Port St Mary provided floating berths, the fact that only Peel and Douglas have marinas enclosed within gate flaps makes it very tempting to keep your boat at one of these two ports, and see the rest of the island by other means.
Though I haven't seen it stated in any relevant cruising directions (perhaps because it's so bleeding obvious), the sensible time for a three or four day cruise around the Isle of Man is when high water is morning and evening. That means you can arrive off your chosen port for the night at a civilised hour, and go in immediately. Even if you've had to dry out overnight, you can still depart at your leisure in the morning on the new tide, and though you may have to push tidal streams to the next port, the tides are much smaller when high water is morning and evening rather than noon and midnight, so you have a chance of overcoming any adverse streams. Then too, the weaker tide means there's less likelihood of rough water, which in certain areas of the Isle of Man is something of a speciality.
But the format of the Peel Traditional Boat Weekend scuppered this fine plan of a leisurely island circuit. The Weekend is staged when high water is pushing towards lunchtime, as the waterborne highlights of what is really a five day boatfest are Parades of Sail on the Friday and the Sunday. On those days, everyone is expected to head seawards just as soon as the automatic gate flap goes down, then they tear around on the Irish Sea for a couple of hours with all sail set, showing off big time, and then they scuttle back into port before the gate comes up again.
It works very well, but it means that you're totally Peel-focused for the berthing of your boat while the festival is in full swing. So we reckoned the only solution was to give in gracefully. Ainmara secured a marina berth handily off the Creek Inn, and there we were every night from Wednesday August 7th until Sunday August 11th, absorbing Manx culture by the bucket-load, and taking on board nautical ideas, rig designs, and boat layouts of every imaginable type, plus a few totally unimaginable as well.

It was the ideal scenario for a plague-like outbreak of harbour rot, but as already reported here on August 24th, we made an immediate point of visiting the world's oldest yacht, at her abode in the characterful old port of Castletown before contemplating anything else. And then between the jig and the reels we saw a lot of this fascinating island by many different means of transport, only drawing the line at the ancient tram which runs between Douglas and Ramsey, because even for the most easy-going cruising man, it is just too slow.
Perhaps it's there to offset a central part of Manx culture, the TT motorcycle jamboree. The tram may well be a deliberate reminder of the slow and safe life, but the TT is all about fast and dangerous, and it's almost a religious cult. With the quaint little winding roads, the Isle of Man is probably the only place in the world where the tourism authorities will object if the road engineers want to straighten out a particularly dangerous corner.
One of our ship's complement of three, Brian Law, is a mad keen biker, so he really was in seventh heaven, but we kept him grounded with more sedate ways of travel such as the little old very smoky narrow gauge steam railway which runs from Douglas eventually to Port Erin - and don't forget to start your journey with the fireman's breakfast off a shovel in Douglas station.

But having done the island from end to end, the crew of Ainmara would like it to be known that the best way to cruise the Isle of Man is up front on top of a double-decker bus. Much of the island scenery is a sort of miniaturised Ireland or Scotland, so at first it seems completely bizarre that urban double-deckers run on many of the routes. And up top, it has to be admitted that at times the old bus gets a mighty wallop from a tree branch. But the views are marvellous, you get to meet a fascinating array of the locals, the bus will take you scenically to an extraordinary variety of towns and villages, and at day's end you return to Peel, the most characterful place of all, and there sits your boat serenely off the inn, and the party just getting going. It's cruising perfection.
And for anyone into traditional or classic or just interesting boats, Peel is paradise. We'd got the flavour of it as we'd arrived in the sunshine of a perfect summer's day on the Wednesday, going through the narrow entrance with Mike Clark's Manx nobby White Heather – traditionally rigged with huge lug mainsail – to starboard, while to port beside the harbour office was the superbly restored varnished Ray Hunt-designed 57ft Drumbeat, originally built for Max Aitken with twin centreboards – one for each tack – back in 1957, and newly arrived as an Isle of Man resident after her second total restoration.

Peel has always had something special, and since it got its gate flap in 2005 and the 124-berth marina three years later, the harbour area has been on the up and up, and the maritime community spirit in the town is a real tonic. We got our first taste of it that night in the Peel Sailing and Cruising Club where there was a merry buzz and a sense of anticipation with greetings for many old friends already there, and more on the way with the clubhouse affording a fine view of the outer breakwater, above which the upper rigs of gaffers could be seen as they headed for port in the last of the evening light, providing an entertaining guessing game as to which boat would be revealed as they swept past the outer end.
In the morning the harbour was sunlit and lively with more boats which had come in on the midnight tide. We finalised our entry and found that as were to do our duty by making a holy show of ourselves during the Parades of Sail for the delectation of the public, our hosts in turn would feed and water us in port, with the makings of breakfast put aboard each morning, and a fine feed for all crews each night in the Masonic Hall, the only place in Peel big enough to cater for the crowd.
All this hospitality at the Peel Traditional Boat Weekend involved many people and several organizations with a raft of sponsors, so it was a bit difficult to keep track, but as the two days of sport afloat had their timing dictated by the opening of the gate-flap, it was literally a case of going with the flow and enjoying yourself.
The basics of the weekend's administration were provided by Mike Clark of the traditional Manx Nobby White Heather and his PL 2013 team, but while they with their access to the Masonic Hall had the space for the crowd scenes, Andy Hall the Commodore of Peel S & Cr C and his many volunteers provided an additional key focal point in their fine clubhouse. So we'd all these delightful folk making a massive and very effective voluntary input to our enjoyment, and that was before we acknowledged the contribution of the top honchos of the various Old Gaffer Associations from all round the Irish Sea.

Peel is a natural centre to draw in boats from Scotland, Ireland north and south, North Wales, and northwest England, so much so we had to stop ourselves thinking it was like a conference of Sub-Saharan African states, as the gathering was eventually to include Their Excellencies the Presidents or Senior Plenipotentiaries of Nioga, Dboga, Nwoga and Soga. More boats came in on every tide with more than 70 finally in the fleet, and as they wouldn't be able to get out across the gate-flap until late morning next day (Friday August 9th) for the first Parade of Sail, there was ample time in the sunshine to inspect the gathering in its glorious variety.
Stu Spence's 1875-vintage Pilot Cutter Madcap from Strangford Lough was in, recently back the Isles of Scilly where they'd renewed the rudder stock after breaking it west of Brittany, and steering themselves unaided by the cunning use of trailed buckets all the way to Scilly, where with considerable ingenuity they fixed the rudder. The crew for this remarkable feat included noted Isle of Man sailor Joe Pennington whose own restored Manx longliner Master Frank was another of the stars of Peel.

We still await a photo which does justice to the West Cork-based Bisquine-rigged Peel Castle under sail (it would need to be in a lot of wind). Meanwhile, this one of her setting up her spars gives some idea of the eccentric rig which Graham Bailey has installed. Photo: W M Nixon
Ingenuity on a massive scale had also been involved in the creation of Graham Bailey's lugger Peel Castle from West Cork, which despite her name was originally a 50ft Penzance fishing boat built in Cornwall in 1929, but had been so named because Peel Castle was a familiar landmark for the roving Penzance fleet, and it is also the title of a much-loved fishermen's hymn. Though built as a motorized vessel, this fine vessel effectively had a sailing hull, thus when Graham bought her in 1999 he was acquiring a traditional sailing hull just as new as he could get. He spent nine years restoring and converting her at Oldcourt on the Ilen River, rigging her as an eye-catching French bisquine. With three masts in a fan configuration, she certainly looks unusual, but her sailing record speaks for itself, as she has cruised the length of the Mediterranean to Greece, and was in Peel in the latter stages of a three-month round Ireland cruise with extras which had already included a detailed cruise of the Hebrides and a passage out to St Kilda.

Irish traditional boats were flagshipped by the big Galway Hooker Naomh Cronan, which has been built and kept going for a remarkable 15 years by a co-operative based in Clondalkin in West Dublin, while the long story of Welsh slate schooners was represented by Scott Metcalfe's Vilma from the Menai Straits. She may have started life in 1934 as a ketch-rigged Danish sailing fishing boat, but when Scott and his wife Ruth restored the hull at their boatyard in Port Penrhyn on the Straits, they fitted her with a classic Welsh schooner rig, with the square sails aloft on the foremast mainly handled from deck. The hull certainly shows Vilma's Baltic origins but her rig, as we were to see when the Parade got going, is very much Welsh schooner, and apparently easy to handle, though that may have been the skill of the crew.

Finally the gate-flap opened later than expected on the Friday morning, and those who were up for the Parade – not everyone by any means – went out onto a lively sea with the sun coming and going and a good breeze sweeping in from the west. Provided we didn't have to go to windward, Ainmara could carry full main, and so long as we kept reaching, she could carry jib tops'l too. So with Brian on the helm, she reached up and down in all her finery, and though we had to throw the outer tack a couple of miles out in a rumbly seaway each time we shaped up to parade back towards Peel, when nearing the shore on the inward track we asked our helmsman to tack as far up the outer harbour as he could at the inner turn in order to provide the smoothest possible water for elderly gentlemen hopping about the deck to clear sheets.

Being a biker, Brian is an ace close quarters helmsman, and each time coming in he brought Ainmara right into the upper reaches of the outer harbour as though he expected to go straight on up the main street. Then a long elegant curving tack, and out we went again with everything setting to perfection before open water was reached, and the old girl outsailing everything else large and small, all great fun.
We'd more of the hospitality that evening with a substantial supper in the Masonic Hall and a great session in the sailing club with Adrian Spence and Joe Pennington in fine form as they detailed their experiences in getting the rudderless Madcap in to Hughtown from somewhere off Ushant, and then a blow-by-blow account of the re-installation of the re-built rudder.

The Peel people were as good as their word in putting the makings of breakfast on board each morning, but they had started gently enough with standard bacon and egg and the usual extras on the Friday. Then Saturday started the grown-up breakfasts, with a bag of magnificent Manx kippers placed into the cockpit. Our captain became the kipper skipper. We were pleasantly surprised at how much of a dab hand our master and commander was in cooking them lightly to perfection, and by the time we got back from the island, it was difficult to imagine starting the day any other way.
That Saturday (August 10th) was a sort of public interaction day, and included a "dirty boatbuilding" competition beside the harbour, with each team being given enough material to build a small boat – well, not so much a boat, more something that would just about float - then they were given a time limit to finish. The whistle blew to start, it blew again to signal time up, and the winners were the first team whose crewed boat managed to get across the harbour. They had all the teams they needed, though few enough old gaffer owners took part, as they reckoned most of their winters were spent like this, and they'd prefer to do just about anything else, while for Ainmara's crew, it was the day of the great steam train ride.
It may be the Peel Traditional Boat Weekend, but walkies are still expected. Photo: W M Nixon
Back in Peel for the Saturday night festivities, Andy Hall, Commodore of the Peel S & Cr C (which is twinned with Down Cr C) had told us not to eat ourselves silly early on, as the real feasting would take place in his club from 9.0 pm onwards. It was a masterwork of voluntary enthusiasm. His members threw themselves into preparing a mountain of queenies (the succulent Manx queen scallops) cooked six different ways, and a very eclectic clientele (for this seems to be one of the highlights of the Manx social calendar) threw themselves into a massive over-consumption in which all pretences at dining delicacy went by the board. We ate ourselves to a standstill with strangers now the best of friends, but it wasn't an exceedingly late night, for with a week's supply of protein taken aboard in one go, we'd to go back to the boat at a reasonably early hour to sleep it off.
It must have all been cooked to perfection, for there were no ill effects in the morning (Sunday August 11th) and we could breakfast off the skipper's kippers with relish. But while our guts were well settled, the weather was anything but. Though a passage home was a possible if rugged proposition for that Sunday with a fresh to strong sou'wester expected, strong west to nor'wester forecast for the Monday would have meant a dead beat, and no go at all for ancient craft.
We were all three on a three-line whip to be back by Monday night. So instead of taking part in Sunday's Parade of Sail, Ainmara returned across the Irish Sea while we could. Even if it did involve a demanding slug of a passage, it was a shrewd move, for anyone from the east cost of Ireland who stayed until Monday didn't get back until Tuesday.
It was a couple of weeks before news of the awards filtered through. Not surprisingly, both Vilma and Peel Castle received major trophies. But as we'd been a no show in the second Parade of Sail, it was a complete surprise that Ainmara had been awarded the Creek Inn Trophy for Best in Show for her one appearance on the Friday. It was the jib tops'l wot done it. All credit to Mike Sanderson of Sketrick Sails for making the old girl a very elegant set of threads. It was a sweet ending to two seasons of centenary celebration.

OpenAI Explores Creative Partnerships With Hollywood Industry
OpenAI, the prolific artificial intelligence innovator and the recipient of substantial investment from Microsoft Corporation, has initiated conversations with top-tier players in Hollywood. This engagement includes discussions with leading movie studios, eminent executives, and influential talent agencies, according to Bloomberg's sources.
The Advent of AI in Filmmaking
Guided by Sam Altman, OpenAI has been in talks about integrating its cutting-edge AI technology into Hollywood's creative processes. The AI in question is Sora, a video generator with the capability to produce videos that closely adhere to user's input and narratives provided in text format. Revealed to the public in February, Sora has the impressive ability to craft videos lasting up to a minute while ensuring high fidelity and strong alignment with the initial instructions fed by the user.
Engagement with the Film Capital
While specific names of the studios have not been disclosed, the involvement of OpenAI's COO Brad Lightcap in preliminary talks last month indicates serious interest. Furthermore, CEO Sam Altman was seen attending events in Los Angeles over the weekend of the Academy Awards. These moves signal OpenAI's intent to foster relationships within Hollywood's elite circles and explore potential partnerships, although OpenAI has not yet officially commented on these meetings.
The Competitive Landscape
Sora is not without competition in this space. It is up against technologies like Google's Lumiere, another AI tool designed for video production that seeks to empower creators with new ways to manifest their visions. The landscape is becoming increasingly technologically sophisticated as leading companies in AI and tech strive to leave their mark on the film industry.

When AirMD’s consultants conduct residential indoor air quality testing, one of the things we are always testing for is VOCs – volatile organic compounds.
Many homeowners are surprised to learn how prevalent VOCs are. Others are surprised to learn about the risk these compounds present.
As the American Lung Association explains, “Volatile organic compounds, or VOCs, are gases that are emitted into the air from products or processes. Some are harmful by themselves, including some that cause cancer. In addition, they can react with other gases and form other air pollutants after they are in the air.”
With “organic” as their middle name, volatile organic compounds may not sound very dangerous. We are accustomed to think of anything that is organic as being good for us. But that is definitely not the case when it comes to VOCs.
“Breathing VOCs can irritate the eyes, nose and throat, can cause difficulty breathing and nausea, and can damage the central nervous system as well as other organs,” the American Lung Association reports. “Some VOCs can cause cancer.”
Volatile organic compounds may be produced by the materials used to build and furnish your house. Common sources include:
VOCs can also be found in a variety of cleaning and maintenance products you have around the house, ranging from household cleaning products to air fresheners, cosmetics and deodorants.
Other sources of volatile organic compounds may include:
If you have questions or concerns regarding the presence of potentially hazardous volatile organic compounds in your home or business or would like more information about VOC testing, please contact the environmental testing scientists at AirMD. Or to schedule an appointment call 1-888-462-4763 or 1-888-GO-AIRMD. | <urn:uuid:9f003a91-bfae-468c-b7e9-e4236158d10d> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://airmd.com/what-are-vocs-and-why-should-you-be-concerned-about-them/ | 2024-04-16T04:20:09Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296817043.36/warc/CC-MAIN-20240416031446-20240416061446-00767.warc.gz | en | 0.961537 | 374 |

If your Central Heat and Air Repair in Celina, TX, develops a problem, you have to look for a qualified repair company to fix the problem. Importantly, when looking for a qualified HVAC system repair company, you need to have basic general knowledge about HVAC systems.
For instance, what do you do when your furnace starts to make weird noises when turning on? What could be the cause of the problem? Could it be the blower motor causing problems?
To check the cause of the problem and probably fix it or contact an AC repair company, you need to get the initial inspection. Check all electrical connections related to the unit and ensure that the circuit breakers are switched off before trying anything else. If your AC doesn’t work, you may need to contact a repair company to help you.
FAQs About Central Heat and Air Repair in Celina TX
You will likely try to fix some of the problems with your central heating system on your own instead of hiring a professional to take care of them. This might be good if they understand the exact cause of the problem and how you can fix it. Therefore, you will need some help and advice from time to time.
However, fixing the HVAC system on your own in many cases is a bad idea. This article will give some answers to the most frequently asked questions that relate to central heating and air repair problems.
You will be able to know whether you can fix the HVAC system problem on your own or you should hire a professional.
The following are some of the common questions people ask about central heating and air repair.
What causes central heating problems?
Many things can cause central heating problems, including dirt and debris buildup in the heat exchanger or radiator, air leaks around doors and windows, clogged or malfunctioning fan coils, or a faulty thermostat.
What are the signs of central heating problems?
Low heat or no heat is coming into your house when you turn on the thermostat. The furnace fan works, but there is not any heat inside the home. Some furnaces might make a weird noise if they have an issue with their blower motor. Another symptom could be that your bill was too high for last month’s electricity usage because something isn’t working correctly in your heater unit.
How do I fix my central air conditioner problems?
If you want to avoid calling an AC repair technician, check all electrical connections related to the unit. Make sure that the circuit breaker is turned off before you check anything else. If your AC unit does not turn on, there might be a tripped breaker somewhere in your home.
How do you select a professional heating repair company?
The best way to find a reputable heating technician is by word of mouth. Ask family and friends for recommendations and reviews of any company they may have used.
What is the cost of central heating repair?
The cost of central heating repair will vary depending on the type of system you have and the severity of the problem. For example, if your system is only running at 80% efficiency, it may be less expensive to replace your plan than to repair it.
What should I expect from a heating repair company?
If you’re seeking professional heating repair services, you can contact the heating furnace repair near me. The heating repair company should arrive on-site with all the appropriate tools and equipment to diagnose the problem.
The professional company will provide you with an estimate of the repair costs before you decide to hire them to handle the work.
How can I prevent future central heating repairs?
If you know that your furnace is old and on its way out, you should start looking for a new one. If the furnace is still working and you want to replace it with a new model, it’s best to wait until the old one stops working before you buy a new one.
Contact a Central Heat and Air Repair Company
Your central heating system can break down, and you can barely identify the cause of the problem nor how you can fix the problem. In case that happens, you don’t have to worry about what will happen if you can’t repair your furnace on your own.
You only need to contact a reliable HVAC repair company providing affordable emergency HVAC repair services. You can contact Air Repair Pros to fix your heating promptly. The company offers Central Heat and Air Repair in Celina, TX services. | <urn:uuid:56fe4276-a9f2-4476-8bcc-f98988d18b3f> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://airrepairpros.com/central-heat-and-air-repair-in-celina-tx/ | 2024-04-16T05:06:12Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296817043.36/warc/CC-MAIN-20240416031446-20240416061446-00767.warc.gz | en | 0.943451 | 918 |

Me in 25 seconds…
I’m a Swiss-born entrepreneur and founder. I’ve been primarily based out of London since ’22.
Enjoy this recent one…
I’ve been working with businesses all over the world to redefine everything from marketing strategy & positioning all the way through to their product development ever since 2011. If you want to say hi 👋 or have any questions, feel free to shoot me an email.
And now, I’m busy growing the ScaleMath team – where we’re busy working with our favorite industry-leading companies to help them scale customer acquisition. Like how that sounds?
Well, what are you waiting for? Let’s connect 🤝
So this all started back in 2011 when I launched a website all about photography, videography & technology. Within a short period of time, I was given the opportunity to work with amazing companies like Think Tank Photo and Punkt. Think Tank Photo is renowned for its popular, high-quality camera bags, and Punkt is known for its minimalist un-smart™ phone to help people take a step away from their stressful life on the internet.
During this time, I began consulting for the premier local publication. I worked with them to manage their transition from a print-only publication to one that is now both print and digital. This data migration, together with my monthly segment analyzing upcoming technologies, allowed me to explore the latest innovations in computer science and electrical engineering. Part of this transition involved coaching existing employees on new social media strategies and personally managing the publication’s Facebook and Instagram presence, with now over 143,000 likes on Facebook. | <urn:uuid:ed28d415-f24f-4ac9-a3a3-15cc5510b277> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://alexjpanagis.com/ | 2024-04-16T05:27:13Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296817043.36/warc/CC-MAIN-20240416031446-20240416061446-00767.warc.gz | en | 0.936226 | 343 |

Moore’s Law assumes that the number of transistors on an integrated circuit will double every two years, which means chip makers have to squeeze an increasing number of transistors onto every chip. According to Wired Gadgets, IBM is experimenting DNA Origami to create smaller chips;
Researchers at IBM have made a significant breakthrough in their quest to combine DNA strands with conventional lithographic techniques to create tiny circuit boards. The breakthrough, which allows for the DNA structures to be positioned precisely on substrates, could help shrink computer chips to about a 6-nanometer scale. Intel’s latest chips, by comparison, are on a 32-nanometer scale.
“The idea is to combine leading edge lithography that can offer feature size of 25 nanometers with some chemical magic to access much smaller dimensions,” says Robert Allen, senior manager of chemistry and materials at IBM Almaden Research. “This allows us to place nano objects with 6-nanometer resolution. You don’t have a hope of doing that with lithography today.”
Giving DNA to our computers? I guess we can start counting down for Skynet after that :) | <urn:uuid:8de1e748-780e-445c-8ed8-10650589ce8e> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://alikuru.com/to-keep-pace-with-moore-e2-80-99s-law-ibm-studying-dna-origami-to-build-next-gen-microchips/ | 2024-04-16T04:33:23Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296817043.36/warc/CC-MAIN-20240416031446-20240416061446-00767.warc.gz | en | 0.941444 | 238 |

Kidneys are one of the most important organs of our body. The better health of the kidneys is also an assurance of our good health. Kidneys help in the removal of waste products from our body and keep the electrolytes in the blood in balance. Now how do we know whether our kidneys are working fine or not? Well, there are a lot of tests for this purpose and the one we are going to discuss today is Creatinine Clearance Test. We have already discussed this important substance in our body named creatinine and today we are going to discuss another of its benefits which are this test. We are going to discuss many things including why this test is performed? How is it performed? And, what do we find from Creatinine Clearance Test? Let us move on with our task of analyzing Creatinine Clearance Test.
Principal of Creatinine Clearance Test:
Since I have already mentioned that this is one of the tests with the help we can find the performance of kidneys or how well the kidneys are. This was quite easy to answer since I had already mentioned in. But things get complex when we talk about the principal of the test and try to know that how it is performed. Well, if we talk about the principal then it is quite simple. The samples of both urine and the blood are taken. Then we measure the level of creatinine in both the samples and this is how we know the well-being of the kidneys. The thing which you got to make sure that you must take urine samples for 24 hours. After that, you will need to move forward in order to get the blood sample for the test.
Method, Results and other important info from Creatinine Clearance Test:
A method for this test is even simpler than the others. First, taking samples for urine are the easiest. You will take urine samples from simple urination and then you can take the samples to perform the test. Taking blood samples is done by the conventional method of inserting the injection needle and then take a sample. This could be a little painful, however, if you have been injected before syringes then you realize this little effort. After some taking pain killer, that little tension or pain in the arm or bruise will be gone. So, this was a little info on taking samples for this test. Let us now talk few things about the method of this test.
There is no special method for performing this test like many others we have talked about on this site. We simply take the samples both for urine and blood and then we compare the creatinine level in both of them to tell how well kidneys are doing. This was a little descriptive form to perform the test. Let me now tell you the complete method in the following step by step guide.
- Take blood samples of both urine and blood.
- Now measure the creatinine level in both of these samples.
- Creatinine is a substance which travels through the blood to supply energy to the different parts of the body and mainly muscles.
- By comparing the blood samples, we can know the GFR which stands for glomerular filtration rate. This GFR actually tells us the performance of kidneys.
- Now since creatinine is a waste product and gets excreted through urine, the result will be following.
If the kidneys are normal and working well then creatinine easily gets excreted from the blood. If the kidneys are not working well and are abnormal then creatinine will not be excreted from the blood and this is how we measure the performance of kidneys. GFR tells us the rate and performance. The unit in which creatinine is measured is millimeter per second. The normal values for creatinine in males are 97 to 137 mm/sec and in females, it is 88 to 128 mm/sec. However, these normal ranges may be different in different labs since all of them take different normal ranges.
So, this was all from the Creatinine Clearance Test. I hope that we have covered every important and basic thing about the test.

Boat insurance is intended to safeguard the vessel and its commuters from accidents and other unexpected events. The policies may differ depending on the specific power limit and the boat class. Most of them guarantee year-round coverage and typically shield the craft from acts of vandalism, theft, fire, and storm throughout the off-season.
Boat insurance does not cover any replacements or repairs resulting from mechanical wear. The cost depends on the type of the craft, its age, current value, length, power, cruising area, the owner’s boating background, training, and certification.
Guaranteeing boat security is what any owner strives to do. And while you might be worried about all the insurance-related peculiarities, most owners choose to separate their policies and consider all the factors when picking the best vessel coverage. And it is no secret you can make an informed decision only through considering them and consulting with your insurer.
Naturally, risk management can be tricky due to specific marine threats like pollution or wreck removal. In particular, only a few insurance companies completely cover the expenses for quick wreck removal. Other insurance companies do not cover it whatsoever.
But you need to bear in mind that if the accident takes place and the debris gets in the way of other vessels, it can cause harm to them. And in this case, the liability can be enormous.
Almost any policy can cover a small ship or motor with a specific power limit. However, you should always consider the possible damage to a sailboat or motors since they are the main driving force of the craft.
For some mariners, homeowners insurance can help with inland navigation through a lake or a river. But this coverage might not extend beyond the beach area, bay waters, or rivers. In other words, you might not be covered if you are sailing outside of it, i. e. out in the sea.
That is one of the fundamental reasons to look for reasonable marine direct insurance offers. And while it might not guarantee only cheap insurance alternatives, direct insurance will help you understand all the distinctive features and attributes.
Things To Consider
Boating has a lot to do with the feeling of a thrill, even if there is a chance to be caught in a storm. So despite it, possible damage, and all the contributing factors, boating enthusiasts keep choosing this activity. For instance, around 11.88 million crafts were registered in 2019 in the U.S. alone.
But no matter the reason – recreational or otherwise – you need to safeguard your crew and remember the liabilities. Whether you are into fishing or sailing for fun, you need coverage designed for you.
There is a tailored option called protection and indemnity insurance for marine industry workers. It can come in handy when dealing with numerous liabilities associated with the regular operation, harbor labor, cargo transit, and possible environmental harm.
Naturally, you can ensure any craft for a specific price, and your insurer can help you with that. It might be high, but it should also meet your needs. Here is what you need to consider when taking out insurance:
- Age Of The Craft
- Its value
- Boat length
- Its power
- The hurricane haul-out coverage. If you get into the hurricane zone, it can be hazardous. Many carriers require active storm plans and hauling if your craft is located in one of the listed hurricane zones.
- Condition of the watercraft and whether it meets the U.S. Coast Guard requirements and its standards
- The type of the craft (cruiser, performance, utility, speed boat, etc.)
- Type of ownership
- Its operation area, also known as cruising area (lakes, bays, oceans, etc.)
- Your boating history
- Your training and certification
What Do The Policies Cover?
Most policies cover permanently fixed equipment like anchors, cushions, life jackets, or oars. Suppose it is crucial to discuss the coverage peculiarities with your insurance provider for any of these. If you are in the marine industry, you need to cover your land-based workers under the Longshore and Harbor Workers Act. It can come in handy if the harbor workers get injured while aboard. Liability is typically included in any watercraft insurance since there is always a chance of an accident like bodily harm or property damage. As for the medical expenses, you can take care of any passenger if you wish to do that. You can take out a medical payment option to help foot the bills of an injured watercraft passenger.
What Are The Different Types Of Boat Insurance?
Typically, you can take out two types of watercraft insurance – the boat’s greed value and actual value. The totaled costs often depend on the value of the insurance writing.
Is There A Variety Of Coverages?
The coverages differ depending on the variety of insurance components and considerations. For instance, one of the underlying determinants can be the type of the craft: PWC, Rental, Yacht, Dinghy (used to go from your watercraft to the shore and back), Professional craft.
What Is the Right Insurance Level For My Boat?
Naturally, any sailor wishes to have all-risk insurance that can cover any loss, wearing, deterioration, or scratching, for that matter. And while it might not be possible to cover all the reasons for scratchings and their implications or animal damage, you can find the right insurance if you understand your needs.

Check out this trailer for “Patriots Day,” a movie about the Boston Marathon bombing and the following manhunt for the two terrorists that committed the heinous act.
Filming for the movie finished up back in June, but it was only recently that CBS Films released the first trailer for “Patriots Day”.
The film has had very mixed reviews from residents of Boston with several people denying the film rights to film in certain locations, such as Laurel Street in Watertown, which was intended to be used to recreate the shootout that took place between police and the Tsarnaev brothers on the actual location.
“Patriots Day” was filmed in several locations in Massachusetts, including Quincy, Boston and at the Boston Marathon 2016 finish line in Copley Square.
The film has several big name stars such as Mark Wahlberg, who plays Sgt. Tommy Saunders, a composite character based on several real officers. Michelle Monaghan plays his wife, Carol Saunders. John Goodman plays Boston Police Commissioner Ed Davis, Kevin Bacon plays Richard DesLauriers who is a former FBI Special Agent in Charge of the Boston division, and J.K Simmons plays Watertown police sergeant Jeffrey Pugliese.
The film first debuted at the Toronto International Film Festival on September 13 during the festival’s “In Conversation With Mark Wahlberg” event.
The film has a limited release to theaters in Boston, New York City and Los Angeles on December 21, before having a wide release on January 13, 2017. | <urn:uuid:8fda09c7-511a-412c-ae5e-fd5cd7a09002> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://americanmilitarynews.com/2016/10/watch-the-trailer-for-mark-wahlbergs-movie-about-the-boston-marathon-bombing/ | 2024-04-16T03:35:05Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296817043.36/warc/CC-MAIN-20240416031446-20240416061446-00767.warc.gz | en | 0.972044 | 312 |
With growth in Latin America expected to decline for a fifth consecutive year in 2015, trade can be a powerful engine for economic renewal. However, it’s clear to most observers that at present this engine is not firing on all cylinders.
The World Trade Organization (WTO) forecasts a rise of just 0.2 percent in the value of merchandise exports among South and Central American countries this year, following a 2.5 percent decline in 2014—the poorest global performance last year. While there are a number of factors behind these gloomy figures, trade can play a crucial role in improving the region’s economic outlook.
New agreements, for example, on trade in agricultural produce, industrial goods and services could lower barriers to doing business across borders and sharply reduce long-standing distortions in the trading system. These issues are currently on the table at the wto as part of the Doha Development Agenda—otherwise known as the Doha Round. The wto’s upcoming Ministerial Conference in Nairobi in December—the fi rst such wto meeting in Africa—should help to focus minds and test whether we have the political will necessary to make progress.
The region’s lackluster performance in recent years is partially due to broader macroeconomic trends. The unbalanced global recovery has, in the near term at least, created economic uncertainty in the region. Slower growth in China could mean that commodity prices continue to weaken, undermining prospects for the region’s major food and fuel exporters. Economic conditions in the European Union, which accounts for a third of world trade, are improving but are still fragile. A recovery in the U.S. will remain crucial, and some raise concerns about the broader impact on global economic growth of any hike in U.S. interest rates. In addition, the IMF points to increasing financial risks in Latin America following a long period of strong capital inflows.
These major trends are clearly difficult to counteract. Since the global financial crisis, governments and central banks in the world’s major economies have used nearly every tool at their command in an effort to generate a recovery. Their strategy has included cutting interest rates to historic lows and pursuing unorthodox policies such as quantitative easing. But one policy tool that governments have yet to fully utilize is trade as a stimulus for demand.
We can take encouragement from important advances in other areas in recent years. In December 2013, for example, WTO members struck a historic deal in Bali. Among the decisions taken in Bali was the Trade Facilitation Agreement, which will help reduce border bottlenecks and modernize customs procedures in member countries. This agreement could deliver an economic boost of up to $1 trillion annually, with most of the gains going to developing countries. Bali also delivered a series of plans to integrate least-developed countries (LDCs) into the global economy. The WTO is working to bring this agreement into force and deliver these benefits; and it will require member states to complete their domestic ratification processes.
Considering the huge potential benefits for growth and development, widening the international trading community is a real priority.
Bali was an important step forward, but now we need to deliver more through the Doha Round. Elsewhere in the WTO, work is under way to agree on an expansion of duty-free benefits on a range of high-tech exports and to liberalize trade in environmental goods, such as wind turbines and solar panels. These initiatives would deliver significant economic gains.
Besides our work at the WTO, there are ongoing efforts to liberalize trade at both the bilateral and regional level. To date, more than 250 agreements have entered into force, according to notifications received by the WTO. Latin American countries are deeply involved in these efforts, whether they are taking place within the region or outside. Some countries in the region are engaged in talks on the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP), for example, which has been in the headlines recently. Negotiations at the WTO can work in perfect harmony with other trade negotiations such as the TPP because, ultimately, they are all pushing in the same direction.
However, some concerns have been raised. For example, bilateral and regional trade agreements can tend to exclude the smallest and most vulnerable countries. Also, they may create different sets of rules and regulations that may ultimately increase the regulatory burden. Therefore, we need to ensure that initiatives on each of the different tracks continue to complement and reinforce one another.
While all kinds of trade agreements are welcome, many big issues can only be tackled efficiently in the multilateral context. Agricultural subsidies are one example. Because of their global nature, trade-distorting farm subsidies cannot be addressed even through megaregional trade agreements.
In addition, rather than simply deepening existing trade connections, multilateral reforms allow new trading relationships to be established. The fact is, global deals deliver far more than any other approach.
Trade can be a powerful engine to support both growth and development in Latin America and around the world. It allows countries to benefit from economic growth elsewhere, as well as from new inflows of capital, new technologies, new innovations, and a wider range of goods for consumers and firms to use. It means increasing the exchange of goods, ideas, resources, and capabilities—all of which support economic growth. Moreover, trade lowers the prices of consumer and industrial goods, which can in turn stimulate demand and increase productivity.
This is the perfect moment to put trade to work as a driver of growth.
But it cannot be achieved without a strong, vibrant global trading system. Therefore, we must redouble engagement at the global level, through the WTO. Now is the time to act. | <urn:uuid:f8a0dabe-52ee-4aa8-8173-919618dfc106> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://americasquarterly.org/fulltextarticle/why-we-need-a-global-trade-deal/ | 2024-04-16T05:01:53Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296817043.36/warc/CC-MAIN-20240416031446-20240416061446-00767.warc.gz | en | 0.95458 | 1,153 |
The innovative, animal-loving outerwear company will have you rethinking the way you layer with 100% cruelty-free coats and jackets.
Save The Duck was founded in 2012 by Nicholas Bargi. The company is Italy's first B-Corp and is on a mission to revolutionize sustainable outerwear. The Bargi family's history in coat-making began with Nicholas' grandfather, Foresto Bargi. Inspired by the water-repellent fabric worn by the English troops during World War I, Foresto, a tailor, started his own line of weather-repellent coats. A century later, the legacy continues with the next generation of performance outerwear—this time, with a deep respect for animals and the environment.
Save The Duck utilizes an innovative fabric made from recycled water bottles for their sustainable raincoats, and recycled nylon for bomber jackets.
A down-like material called PLUMTECH® is used for their eco-friendly barn jackets and puffers. It's an ultralight padding made from recycled polyester that imitates the softness and fluffiness of down and delivers incredible warmth. The outer shell is equally innovative and made from lightweight, windproof, and water-resistant recycled polyester. These sustainable puffer coats and vests are all designed to keep the cold at bay, minus feathers, leather, or animal byproducts.
Being a changemaker means taking an active role in reducing the exploitation of animals and the impacts their use creates for the environment and biodiversity. Save The Duck breaks it down by the numbers. They've been in business for 11 years. They produce 600,000 coats each year using PLUMTECH®. By their calculations, it would have taken the down and feathers of 29 million ducks to fill all those coats. So, while most down and feathers used in traditional outerwear are byproducts of the meat industry, that's still a lot of ducks.
Save the Duck is carbon neutral and committed to complete net neutrality by 2030.

Ever wondered why some investors seem to have the Midas touch when it comes to property management? They glide through challenges like seasoned surfers ride the waves.
This isn’t magic. It’s skill, insight, and a little bit of wisdom from those who’ve been there and done that. Here, we peel back the curtain to share top tips that transform the daunting into the doable.
Ready to turn the key in the lock of investment property management success? Let’s get started!
Know Your Market Inside Out
Understanding your local real estate market is foundational. It’s about knowing not just the current trends, but also anticipating future ones.
To identify the best location for your investment property, consider factors such as:
Job growth in an area signals a strong local economy. It attracts a steady flow of potential tenants and keeps vacancy rates low.
For example, a city with a thriving tech industry may be more attractive to young professionals who are looking for rental properties.
So do your research on the job market in the area you’re considering for investment.
Population demographics can profoundly influence rental demands. A community with a high number of college students may have a higher demand for affordable housing.
On the other hand, an area with an aging population may require more senior-friendly rental options. It is best to tailor your property to meet these specific demographic trends.
Rental demand drives the property market. If an area has a high demand for rentals, you can charge higher rental rates and have a lower risk of extended vacancies.
Factors that contribute to rental demand include proximity to amenities such as schools, public transportation, and shopping centers. It is essential to study the area to predict future trends.
Financial Management is Key
Good financial management is the backbone of successful invested property management. This involves:
Setting a Budget
Setting a budget for maintaining profitability and ensuring long-term success is crucial, especially for investment property managers. It involves forecasting your income from rent and subtracting your expected expenses.
This financial planning allows you to set realistic rental rates and allocate funds for potential upgrades or emergencies. Plus, it can help prevent overspending and keep your bottom line in check.
Keeping Accurate Records
Accurate record-keeping is crucial for tracking financial performance. It aids in tax preparation and legal compliance. It is vital to maintain detailed records of:
- tenant information
Also, keeping track of all receipts and invoices is essential for tax deductions and potential audits. Consider using property management software to streamline this process.
Keeping a close eye on expenses is essential. Make sure to categorize each cost to see where the money is going. This helps in optimizing spending and boosting profitability.
Moreover, it can help identify areas where you may need to increase or decrease spending. This way, you can make informed decisions on how to allocate funds for your investment property.
Ensuring profitability means maximizing rental income while minimizing expenses. Regularly review and adjust rental rates based on market conditions.
You should also invest in preventive maintenance to avoid costly repairs down the line. With this approach, you can maintain a steady stream of income while keeping expenses in check.
Reserve Fund for Emergencies
Maintaining a reserve fund is crucial for handling unexpected events. This fund can cover anything from emergency repairs to unexpected vacancies.
It ensures financial stability and peace of mind for property managers.
Master the Art of Delegation
Mastering the art of delegation is all about recognizing that you can’t do everything alone. Identify tasks that require your expertise and those that can be handed off.
You may consider hiring skilled professionals for administrative tasks. This frees up your time, allowing you to focus on strategic decisions.
Also, looking for property management companies can help alleviate the burden of day-to-day operations. They can handle tasks such as:
- tenant screening
- maintenance requests
- financial management
This way, you can still oversee the property while having more time to grow your investment portfolio.
Develop a Network of Reliable Contacts
Start by connecting with local real estate agents and brokers. They can offer valuable insights into market trends and property values.
Additionally, you can also build relationships with tradespeople such as:
These connections ensure timely and cost-effective maintenance and repairs. Also, attending local real estate investment meetings will allow you to meet new peers and learn from their experiences.
Finally, join online forums and social media groups focused on investment property to widen your network.
Always Have an Exit Strategy
Having an exit strategy is akin to knowing the exits in a building. Your plan should outline when and how you might sell or transition your investment to maximize returns or minimize losses. This could involve:
- selling at a market peak
- refinancing to cash out equity
- transitioning the property into a different use
However, before doing this, you should consider the timing, market conditions, and your financial goals. It’s always best to consult with a financial advisor or real estate professional before making an informed decision.
Stay Informed on Legal Regulations
Laws and ordinances can change which might affect your operations. This is the reason why staying informed on legal regulations is crucial. Make sure that you keep up-to-date with:
- local laws and ordinances
- fair housing regulations
- tenant-landlord laws
Also, ensure that your lease agreements are up-to-date and compliant with current laws. Avoid discriminatory practices in tenant screening, leasing, and eviction. This can help prevent potential legal issues down the line.
Plus, some areas have specific environmental regulations, like lead paint disclosure and energy efficiency standards. So be sure to comply with these regulations to avoid penalties.
Expert Tips for a Successful Investment Property Management Journey
Navigating the labyrinth of investment property management is no small feat, yet the rewards are undeniable. Arm yourself with these insights, and watch as doors open to unparalleled success.
Remember, knowledge is power. So keep learning and adapting to stay ahead in the ever-evolving world of real estate investment. Happy managing!

Dr. Jerry P. Shank, a beloved primary care veterinarian in South Florida and the father of ACCC’s Founder and President Dr. Stephanie Correa, passed away peacefully in his sleep on July 15, 2023. He was 79. Dr. Correa credits her father with inspiring her to pursue veterinary medicine as a career and is grateful for the chance to continue his legacy through the expert cancer treatment she and her team of specialists deliver to pets every day.
Dr. Shank was raised in Ashland, Ohio on a dairy farm, where his love for animals was sparked. While attending Hayesville High School, he developed the math curriculum and added higher-level math classes for himself and his classmates, which allowed students to gain access to professional schools in the STEM fields. He married his high school sweetheart, Connie Crone. They moved to Columbus, Ohio, where he completed his undergraduate and veterinary studies at The Ohio State University. He began his career as an associate veterinarian at a Cincinnati animal hospital.
In 1972, after spending a spring break in Florida, the young couple decided to move to Fort Lauderdale, where Dr. Shank’s professional career flourished with the opening of Shank Animal Hospital, which he operated for more than 40 years.
Throughout his career, he contributed extensively to the profession. He established the South Florida Academy of Veterinary Medicine to provide continuing education for his colleagues. He also served on the board and as president of the Florida Veterinary Medical Association. In 2014, Dr. Shank was honored with the FVMA Distinguished Service Award for exceptional achievements and contributions toward the advancement of veterinary medicine and the veterinary profession. In 2019, Dr. Shank was honored again with the FVMA Lifetime Achievement Award given in appreciation of his extraordinary devotion to the principles and ideals of the veterinary profession.
A devoted husband, father, and grandfather, he will always be remembered for his kind and warm heart, and his devotion to his family.
“Every Saturday growing up I would help my dad at his clinic. I remember how he traveled from exam room to exam room, handing out coffee, healing animals, and connecting with the people. He cared for the owners as much as he cared for their animals — he knew their families when babies were born, when they lost a job, when their kids started college. It was on one of those busy Saturdays that I realized that veterinarians are healers of the soul–doing soulful work. I realized then that being in the field was in my DNA and I had to follow in my dad’s footsteps.”

For Schizophrenic’s Family, the Pain and Love Are Inseparable : Mental illness: At first Jimmy seemed like any other kid. His sister describes losing her cherished childhood playmate.
ANITA SNOW – ASSOCIATED PRESS – February 23, 1992
NEW YORK — He is there on every almost page of the family photo album, the shy little boy with enormous dimples who captured my heart as a child and broke it as a grown-up.
There’s my little brother Jimmy, just 9 months old, sitting next to me on the couch and clutching my hand. We’re both giggling at someone to the left.
Here he is as a toddler, standing next to one of the Three Little Pigs at Disneyland, scared and delighted to be so close to such a strange and wonderful creature. Again, he holds my hand.
I study Jimmy’s eyes, expressions, the way he stands and sits. There’s a certain timidity in the eyes, perhaps. A hesitancy in his smile.
But there is no clue to what he would someday become. | <urn:uuid:42bc8e55-6fc4-4ca6-9771-b6d4a3045c9f> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://anitasnow.com/category/schizophrenia/ | 2024-04-16T05:13:30Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296817043.36/warc/CC-MAIN-20240416031446-20240416061446-00767.warc.gz | en | 0.953178 | 233 |
Instagram – 4 Easy Ways to Get More Followers
Instagram is a wonderful platform to share about your favorite topics, help build your business, or to draw attention to your blog. The larger a following you have, the more likely your post will be seen by a large amount of people. Best of all, if you become very popular, you can turn your social media accounts into a business and become a social influencer.
None of these things can happen unless you have at least 1,000 followers, however, and many more is better. You also want to make sure these people are authentic, and not bots or fake followers who won’t engage with your posts.
In order to build a following of real fans who can’t wait to see your next post, here are a few suggestions to get you started.
The more often you post, the more opportunities you have for engagement. This means likes, shares and yes, follows. One social media company, Tailwind, even did a study on this. They found that the more often you posted (a minimum of once a day), the more followers you got. Instagrammers who only posted once a week grew by about 14%, while those who posted every day or more grew by 56%.
Hashtags are how many people find posts related to their interests. It’s also how you can gain the attention of new people who don’t yet follow you. It’s well worth researching what hashtags are popular and also relate to your posts, so more people can find you.
Use appropriate hashtags every time you post, so more people will have the ability to see and fall in love with your work.
Engage Your Fans
People like it when you engage with them. You can do this by replying to their comments, visiting their feed, and leaving likes and replies to their posts. This may encourage more people to follow you, since they can see that you are engaged with your followers, or perhaps learned more about you from the comment itself.
Chances are, you have other social media, or a blog. Many of your followers on your other accounts are also on Instagram, and you can quickly get new followers by letting them know your Instagram account exists. This also works in reverse. A study performed by Buzzsumo found that pictures posted to Facebook from Instagram are more popular than those posted to Facebook alone.
If you have a great picture or post from your other social media, let your Instagram followers know about it too. You can share the photo or a short video, and provide links in your bio.
If your goal is to grow a huge following on Instagram, you can do so by staying engaged with your readers, posting consistently, and making it easier for new people to find your Instagram account. You can quickly build a large and engaged following that is interested in what you have to say, and are also willing to share it. | <urn:uuid:bfdebbd4-d157-43d7-95d6-b1ebc555648f> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://annekgroup.com/instagram-4-easy-ways-to-get-more-followers/ | 2024-04-16T04:13:06Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296817043.36/warc/CC-MAIN-20240416031446-20240416061446-00767.warc.gz | en | 0.975551 | 602 |

When my friend Chris ended his life in 2021, like all his family and friends, I was stunned. He was the last guy I would have thought could have done this. Upbeat, optimistic, with a ridiculous sense of humor, time spent with Chris always left me worn out from laughing. It also always left me feeling better about myself. That was his special gift: he was genuinely interested in everyone he met and could make everyone he knew feel smarter, stronger, braver, and better looking.
Our friendship was forged years ago when he was a deputy sheriff and we traveled around Virginia delivering training to police departments and criminal-justice academies across the state. He was the best man at my wedding and even after he retired and moved to Pennsylvania, we stayed in touch and got together when we could. We could talk for hours about life, leadership, sports, and history. He made plans to come down and tour our civil war battlefields with me when his health improved. When I took on the challenge of starting my own business, he always encouraged me and let me know how proud he was of me. Now he’s gone. My great friend who had given hope to so many had kept none for himself.
Always willing to help others, Chris never wanted to put anyone else out. He rarely asked for help- always preferring to give rather than take. He had been facing some serious health challenges that had kept him from doing many of the things he loved. Outwardly, he seemed to be facing them with the same optimism that he had for everything else. As it turned out, his despair was deeper than we could imagine.
After I got the news, I went through the full range of emotions. Sadness and anger were the big ones. There were days as I told my wife, that I just wanted to break stuff. I even considered going to one of those rage rooms where you can tear up cars, dishes, etc. with your choice of tools. Ultimately, I figured I’d just end up hurting myself and passed on the idea (although it is still on the table).
This was not the first time that suicide had touched my life, but this time I decided to not bury it, but to learn from it and share it with others. Here’s some of what I’ve learned so far:
- We can’t beat ourselves up. It’s natural to feel like we could have done more like we should have seen it coming like we missed something. I took a QPR Gatekeeper course to try to better understand the dynamics of suicide and there I found a quote that addressed this issue of guilt. It came from a mother after her son took his life. She said, “We are only responsible to do what we know to do at the time it needs doing, not for the things we will learn to do later.” That statement reminded me that so often we don’t know what we don’t know. I didn’t know. Now I do.
- We don’t get better; we just get stronger. Any attempt at “getting better” would involve forgetting and I won’t do that. I just want to get to the point where gratitude and happy memories start to outweigh my sadness. Smiles before tears, as they say. Find ways to stay positive.
- When you are strong, I am strong. For me, getting stronger meant learning more and helping others get stronger by sharing that knowledge. The more informed people within a community, the larger safety net we can create. A group of people with the tools to recognize a crisis and the courage to act can save countless lives.
- We need to face this problem head on. Suicide is an uncomfortable topic. It’s easy to try to change the subject or avoid it altogether. That won’t drive change. The good news is that mental health discussions are becoming more public and commonplace. We need to continue to build on this. The QPR Gatekeeper course opened my eyes to so much I didn’t know that it inspired me to become an instructor. I encourage everyone to consider a gatekeeper certification or to find other ways to be involved: participate in a suicide walk through the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention, support the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline or an organization that assists high-risk groups such as veterans, youth, or law enforcement. Opportunities are everywhere.
- Chris’ story ended way too soon, too many blank pages and broken hearts. And while I’m grateful for all the great memories I have, I’d much rather have my friend back. Sadly, none of us can change the past, but my hope is that we can impact the future by doing our part to help others find their way through the darkness. Please join the fight. | <urn:uuid:6d3fd42a-3df6-42cd-9169-3ea2d1055645> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://annemoss.com/2022/01/29/learning-from-loss/ | 2024-04-16T04:15:00Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296817043.36/warc/CC-MAIN-20240416031446-20240416061446-00767.warc.gz | en | 0.98385 | 1,005 |
Are you spending a day in Thessaloniki in Greece? On this page I’m giving you my tips for if you’re spending 24 hours in Thessaloniki. Many people spend a short time in the Greek city Thessaloniki when they arrive at the airport and have got some extra time before traveling to their next Greek destination like one of the islands or Halkidiki. And I would absolutely recommend exploring Thessaloniki if you’re traveling via there. It’s a great city that has a lot to offer. On this page I’m giving you my tips for a day in Thessaloniki.
Brunch at Kitchen Bar
The best way to start your 24 hours in Thessaloniki is by brunch at Kitchen Bar. They’ve got a super tasty all day brunch menu with all the classics. From healthy panini’s like this one with avocado, tomato and poached egg, to more comforting dishes like pancakes with Nutella.
Besides the menu, the big draw from Kitchen Bar is also their location on the pier with great views over the waterfront of Thessaloniki and the great atmosphere on the terrace.
If you only have the chance to see one thing in Thessaloniki, I recommend that you visit the waterfront. Especially on sunny days it makes a really nice stroll. There are many bars lined up at the waterfront and it has a walking path all along the shore.
At the waterfront you can also find this White Tower. The tower is 34 meters high and it’s possible to visit the tower too!
Free Boat Tour
Close to the white tower you’ll find this pirate ship docked at the waterfront. You can go on a free boat tour around the Thessaloniki harbour. All you have to do is pay for your drinks. It departs quite regularly from noon to midnight. No need to reserve or buy tickets, you can just hop on board. The trip takes about 30 minutes.
Drinks and bites at Mangiare
After your stroll and boat trip, it’s time for a snack! Mangiare Gastro Bar is the perfect spot for it. This Italian restaurant is great for wines, beers, cocktails and bites like these risotto balls. They’ve got lovely indoor and outdoor seating.
Here you see an empty Modiano Market, as I went early in the morning before they were setting up to take pictures. But if you’re following this guide for 24 hours in Thessaloniki, you’ll be visiting it after your afternoon drinks and the market will be buzzing! Modiano Market (or Stoa Modiano) was build in the 1920’s. You’ll find several blocks of market stands in the heart of the city.
Roman Forum of Thessaloniki
Just a few blocks away you’ll find the Roman Forum of Thessaloniki. This forum from Roman times was dug up in the 1960’s.
Arch of Galerius
The Arch of Galerius used to be part of the Rotunda (below), but the part connecting them doesn’t exist any more. The arch is build in the 4th century.
The Rotunda of Galerius is a circular structure that mostly served as a place of worship. You need to buy a ticket at the entrance if you want to visit the Rotunda in Thessaloniki.
Late Dinner at ARC
The perfect spot for a (late night) dinner in Thessaloniki is ARC Espresso and Wine Bar. I had this delicious vegetarian pizza. It’s a Pizza Margarita, that’s normally quite plain but was super tasty at ARC. They also have delicious cocktails at ARC.
Luxembourg Hotel Thessaloniki
A great hotel to stay at in Thessaloniki is Hotel Luxembourg. The hotel is very centrally located. It’s super close to the waterfront, as you can see on this picture. But it’s also close to most restaurants and bars, it’s around the corner from Aristotelous Square, the main square of Thessaloniki. We had a beautiful suite with a canopy bed. Included in your stay at Hotel Luxembourg is a delicious breakfast buffet with savory and sweet products. You can make sure you’ve had a good breakfast before you start travelling to your next destination.

Fevers can be frightening, but they usually don’t require urgent medical care. A fever is an indication that your body is working normally to fight off infection. However, in some cases a fever can be a sign of an underlying problem that needs immediate medical attention.
Fevers should be taken seriously for infants and young children (less than 3 months old). They may have a temperature that is higher than 100.4 degF or they have a fever that hasn’t gone down with treatment.
A fever can be a sign of a serious illness in babies and children, especially those with immune system problems or those who take certain medications. They also need medical care if they have trouble breathing, a seizure or are hard to wake up.
Generally, children can recover from a fever on their own with rest and fluids, but it’s important to watch their behavior carefully to determine when they need emergency care.
When a child is acting normally, taking in fluids and not waking up, a temperature of 103 degrees is probably fine. But if your child is lethargic, they’re not eating or drinking and have a fever of 104 degrees, then you should call your pediatrician for an appointment.
The most accurate way to measure a baby’s temperature is by using a thermometer that is used rectally, but you can also use one that swipes across the forehead. Depending on the type of thermometer you use, your baby’s temperature will be different, so be sure to check it regularly throughout the day.
It’s not a good idea to bundle your baby in layers of clothing and blankets, which can trap heat. Instead, allow their body to cool by wearing light-weight clothing and allowing the body’s heat to dissipate from the skin.
You can also sponge your child with tepid water, which will help the body stay comfortable and avoid dehydration. But don’t sponge with cold water or alcohol, as it can cause narrowing of blood vessels that bring heat to the skin, which can make the body retain more heat.
If your child has a high temperature, you can call their doctor and ask them to prescribe medication to lower the temperature. If they can’t give you a prescription for a fever reducer, then it’s time to go to the hospital or emergency department.
Thermometers vary widely in accuracy, so be sure to take your baby’s temperature rectally and then double check it again under the armpit. A digital rectal thermometer is more precise than other types.
Getting to the doctor as soon as possible is vital for babies who are sick and are at risk of a severe complication, such as Reye syndrome. It’s also helpful for older kids who have a fever, but who are not acting like they are sick.
It can be a tough decision for parents to know when to take their child to the emergency room. The decision is based on several factors, such as your child’s age and symptoms. A trip to the ER can be costly and stressful for both you and your child, and it can result in an unnecessary delay in getting your child well again. | <urn:uuid:57e7895e-84e4-476f-9769-a4d968dfd01b> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://ans2all.com/what-temper-should-i-take-my-child-to-hospital/ | 2024-04-16T05:29:45Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296817043.36/warc/CC-MAIN-20240416031446-20240416061446-00767.warc.gz | en | 0.965841 | 661 |

The secret plan to avert the coming Dec 21, 2012 crisis
To open a discussion on this article, please use the contact page to provide your comments.
As just about everyone knows, the world is going to come to an end on Friday, 21 December in 2012 - and the government is covering up.
However, I have a source within the National Security Agency, and that person sent me a copy of the complete file. I would like post every document here for others to read, but if I did so, I'd be breaching the Patriot Act and would probably be on the next plane to Guantanamo in shackles and a blindfold. But as long as I don't quote directly, I think I can summarize the current plan and its origins.
On taking office, one of the first acts of the Obama administration was to secretly ditch the infamous Cheney Plan. He then directed the NSA to come up with a new plan to deal with Dec 21, 2012 because it was now "time to save the Earth."
A lowly staffer within the NSA on reviewing the memo saw that the answer was within the President's own words - just a matter of going on Earth Saving Time, a supercharged version of Daylight Saving Time. As the prediction of the end of the world is calendar-based, the solution is to advance the clocks sufficiently to ensure that there will be no December 21 in 2012.
At 11:59.59 pm on December 20, 2012 in every time zone worldwide, all clocks will be advanced 24 hours and 2 seconds to 12:00:01 December 22. We will remain on Earth Saving Time for a full year. Then, at one second after midnight on the following December 22, clocks will fall back 24 hours and 2 seconds. Effectively, there will be two December 21sts in 2013.
The plan is to be kept secret until various computer operating systems can be modified to allow for Earth Savings Time coming into effect. Obviously the only remaining concern is whether Microsoft can ever meet a software release deadline.
So, next time someone tries to alert you to the world's coming end on Dec 21, 2012, you can confidently reply: "Don't worry, we are going on Earth Saving Time."
- There are a few skeptics about the seriousness of this crisis. For example see: 2012: Tsunami of Stupidity: Why the latest apocalyptic cult is a silly scam by Ron Rosenbaum in Slate, May 22, 2009
- The Cheney Plan, of course, envisioned that by fostering steadily increasing global conflict the problem would have been resolved by ending the world well before Dec 21, 2012. | <urn:uuid:0317827f-b2b4-4690-8654-5d2e5d42ade8> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://apatheticagnostic.org/articles/meds2/med39/med766.html | 2024-04-16T05:35:01Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296817043.36/warc/CC-MAIN-20240416031446-20240416061446-00767.warc.gz | en | 0.964447 | 530 |
Logic and Reasoning Banned
Your thoughts on this article are welcome. Please use the contact page to provide your comments for publication.
There's an Islamic group on Facebook called ATHEISM DEBUNKED BY MUSLIMEEN. For some reason, a lot of Muslims on Facebook have an interest in "debunking" atheism and this particular group is one among several.
The group is not of much interest except for its rules, specifically Rule 4 (and breaking the rules leads to termination):*
4. Members are requested not to involve in debates based on pure logic and reasoning because it could lead to disbelief (kufr), disobedience and loss of submission to Allah and His Commands. However established scientific facts don’t come under logic ,so please use science after Qur'an (Revelation from Allah) and the Ahadith (Sayings of the Prophet s.a.w.). (emphasis added)
It's not often that you see the point made so blatantly, but isn't it pretty much true of all religious discussion, not just Islamic discussion? (We see such a refusal to engage in reasoning and logic in Talk Back 109 and the following discussion) Reasoning and logic are forbidden because they might lead to disbelief.

Self-induced conversion in dense neutrino gases: Pendulum in flavour space
Neutrino-neutrino interactions can lead to collective flavour conversion effects in supernovae and in the early universe. We demonstrate that the case of “bipolar” oscillations, where a dense gas of neutrinos and antineutrinos in equal numbers completely converts from one flavour to another even if the mixing angle is small, is equivalent to a pendulum in flavour space. Bipolar flavour conversion corresponds to the swinging of the pendulum, which begins in an unstable upright position (the initial flavour), and passes through momentarily the vertically downward position (the other flavour) in the course of its motion. The time scale to complete one cycle of oscillation depends logarithmically on the vacuum mixing angle. Likewise, the presence of an ordinary medium can be shown analytically to contribute to a logarithmic increase in the bipolar conversion period. We further find that a more complex (and realistic) system of unequal numbers of neutrinos and antineutrinos is analogous to a spinning top subject to a torque. This analogy easily explains how such a system can oscillate in both the bipolar and the synchronised mode, depending on the neutrino density and the size of the neutrino-antineutrino asymmetry. Our simple model applies strictly only to isotropic neutrino gasses. In more general cases, and especially for neutrinos streaming from a supernova core, different modes couple to each other with unequal strength, an effect that can lead to kinematical decoherence in flavour space rather than collective oscillations. The exact circumstances under which collective oscillations occur in non-isotropic media remain to be understood.
14.60.Pq, 97.60.BwI Introduction
The “refractive index” caused by a medium has a strong impact on neutrino flavour oscillations Wolfenstein:1977ue ; Mikheev:1986gs ; Mikheev:1986wj ; Fuller1987 ; Notzold:1987ik ; Kuo:1989qe . This matter effect is a standard ingredient for neutrino oscillations in laboratory experiments and in astrophysical environments. However, when neutrinos themselves form a significant “background medium” as in the early universe or in core-collapse supernovae, the oscillation equations become nonlinear, sometimes resulting in surprising collective phenomena. Based on Pantaleone’s key observation that neutrinos as a background medium produce a flavour off-diagonal refractive index Pantaleone:1992eq , the behaviour of dense neutrino gases was investigated in a series of papers by Samuel, Kostelecký and Pantaleone Samuel:1993uw ; Kostelecky:1994ys ; Kostelecky:1993yt ; Kostelecky:1993dm ; Kostelecky:1995dt ; Kostelecky:1995xc ; Samuel:1996ri ; Kostelecky:1996bs ; Pantaleone:1998xi . Two classes of collective effects were identified in these papers: we shall call them “synchronised” and “bipolar” oscillations, respectively.
Synchronised oscillations occur when the neutrino-neutrino interaction potential is large compared to the ordinary oscillation frequencies in vacuum or in a medium, and a sufficiently large asymmetry exists between the neutrino and antineutrino distributions. As a result, all neutrinos and antineutrinos oscillate with the same frequency that is a certain average of the ordinary oscillation frequencies. In the spin-precession analogy of flavour oscillations, the flavour polarisation vectors of all neutrino modes form one big spin that precesses in a weak “external magnetic field.” This big spin is held together by the strong “internal magnetic field” formed in flavour space by the strong neutrino-neutrino interaction Pastor:2001iu . Various qualitative and quantitative aspects of synchronised oscillations and applications to neutrino flavour oscillations in the early universe Lunardini:2000fy ; Dolgov:2002ab ; Wong:2002fa ; Abazajian:2002qx were studied a few years ago, motivated by the question if neutrinos with chemical potentials reach flavour equilibrium in the early universe before the epoch of big-bang nucleosynthesis.
Much less attention has been paid to bipolar flavour conversions, but very recently it has been recognised that this peculiar phenomenon likely plays a crucial role for supernova neutrino oscillations Duan:2005cp ; Duan:2006an ; Duan:2006jv . In the simplest case, bipolar oscillations occur in a dense gas of equal numbers of neutrinos and antineutrinos of the same flavour. For a suitable mass hierarchy, even a small mixing angle can cause a complete conversion of both neutrinos and antineutrinos to the other flavour. We stress that a non-vanishing vacuum mixing angle is pivotal; bipolar oscillations, although a quasi self-induced effect, will not occur if the vacuum mixing angle strictly vanishes.
The relevant conditions for bipolar conversions probably occur for neutrinos streaming off a collapsed supernova core where one expects a hierarchy of average energies with Keil:2002in . Assuming equal luminosities for all species, the number flux of, say, and is each smaller than that of and respectively. For the inverted mass hierarchy one would then expect bipolar oscillations driven by the “atmospheric” neutrino mass difference and the small mixing angle .222We concentrate here on 13-mixing because and streaming off a supernova core have equal spectra, behave equally in ordinary matter, and are known to be nearly maximally mixed so that the 23-mixing is not relevant in this context. The “solar” mass difference is much smaller and the corresponding hierarchy is normal so that 12-mixing is expected to lead to less prominent effects at larger distances from the supernova core. In general, however, one would need to perform a three-flavour treatment.
Bipolar flavour conversion occurs when the neutrino-neutrino interaction energy, , exceeds a typical vacuum oscillation frequency . Furthermore, the neutrino-antineutrino asymmetry must not be too large in a sense to be quantified later. Once these conditions are met, bipolar oscillations take place for astonishingly small values of the mixing angle and are nearly unaffected by the presence of an ordinary background medium, even if it is much denser than the neutrino gas Duan:2005cp . These oscillations are also unrelated to a Mikheyev-Smirnov-Wolfenstein (MSW) resonance of the ordinary background medium.333Of course, it has long been recognised that the high density of neutrinos near a supernova neutrino sphere could lead to refractive effects comparable to those of the ordinary medium, and nonlinear effects could play an important role Pantaleone:1994ns ; Qian:1994wh ; Sigl:1994hc . The conclusion of these early works appears to be that the neutrino-neutrino term causes a small shift of the oscillation parameters where an MSW resonance occurs and hence a small correction to the ordinary matter effect. Subsequent numerical studies of nonlinear effects in the supernova hot bubble region actually revealed flavour conversion for surprisingly small neutrino mass differences, but a connection to the bipolar oscillation mode was not made Pastor:2002we ; Balantekin:2004ug .
The notion of “bipolar oscillations” originates from the claimed numerical observation that the flavour polarisation vectors of all neutrinos and of all antineutrinos align together to form two “block spins” that evolve separately. Indeed, the analytic descriptions of Refs. Kostelecky:1995dt ; Samuel:1996ri were based on the study of a system of one neutrino and one antineutrino polarisation vector that were taken to represent, respectively, the complete ensemble of neutrinos and antineutrinos. We find that this description of bipolar oscillations is incorrect and actually has never been explicitly demonstrated in the literature. In fact, each mode of the neutrino and antineutrino ensemble evolves differently and the term “bipolar” is a misnomer. On the other hand, the behaviour is bipolar in the sense that neutrinos and antineutrinos oscillate in “opposite directions” and thus form two separate cohorts, even if they do not form two block spins. Therefore, we use the term “bipolar” to describe this collective phenomenon.
The newly recognised role of bipolar oscillations represents a change of paradigm for supernova neutrino oscillations. Inspired by these exciting developments we turn to an analytic study of bipolar oscillations with the aim of providing a simple qualitative and quantitative understanding of the salient features of this puzzling effect. Analytic solutions for certain cases have already been provided in the literature Kostelecky:1995dt ; Samuel:1996ri . However, a judicious choice of variables enables us to write the equations of motion in the form of an ordinary pendulum. This picture allows one to grasp the salient features of the bipolar phenomenon at a single glance. Moreover, it allows one to calculate explicitly the dependence of the bipolar oscillation period on the vacuum mixing angle and on the density of an ordinary background medium.
When the fluxes of neutrinos and antineutrinos are not equal (as expected for supernova neutrinos), the equations for the flavour pendulum remain the same, but the asymmetric initial conditions imply the presence of an inner angular momentum (i.e., spin) of the pendulum: the system is equivalent to a spinning top subject to a torque. If the top is not spinning, we simply recover the motion of an ordinary spherical pendulum (i.e., bipolar behaviour of a symmetric - system). Otherwise the motion is more complicated. If the spin is sufficiently large, the top precesses in the force field exerting the torque (i.e., synchronised oscillations). If the spin is too small, the top wobbles or even completely turns over (i.e., bipolar behaviour of an asymmetric system).
In the most general case, however, different neutrino modes have different energies and, in a non-isotropic medium such as that encountered by neutrinos streaming off a supernova core, couple to each other with different strengths (“multi-angle case”). In this situation kinematical decoherence rather than collective oscillations can obtain and is an unavoidable outcome certainly in the simplest system of equal numbers of neutrinos and antineutrinos. However, in the more realistic case of unequal neutrino and antineutrino fluxes in conjunction with a slowly varying effective neutrino density, collective oscillations often still obtain. The exact criteria that determine if kinematical decoherence or collective oscillations occur remain to be understood.
We begin in Sec. II with the simplest bipolar system consisting of one polarisation vector for the neutrinos and one for the antineutrinos and establish the equivalence to a flavour pendulum. We then study analytically the impact of an ordinary background medium in Sec. III. In Sec. IV we allow the neutrino density to vary and show that this effect is crucial for the nearly complete flavour conversion in supernovae. In Sec. V we consider a system with an initial - asymmetry and show its equivalence to a spinning top subject to a torque. We apply our insights to explain the salient features of flavour conversion of the neutrinos streaming off a supernova core. In Sec. VI we consider a system of many modes and discuss the conditions under which it is equivalent to the simple bipolar system. In Sec. VII we discuss the possibility of flavour conversion initiated by quantum fluctuations, in the absence of flavour mixing. A summary of our findings is given in Sec. VIII.
II Basic Bipolar System
II.1 Equations of motion
We begin with the simplest bipolar system initially composed of equal densities of pure and . All of them are taken to have equal energies so that the vacuum oscillation frequencies are the same for all modes. We describe the flavour content of these ensembles with polarisation vectors in flavour space and , where overbarred quantities refer to antiparticles here and henceforth. Without loss of generality we take these vectors to have unit length. As usual, the -component of the polarisation vector represents the flavour content of the ensemble, i.e., the survival probability of at time is . We take the positive direction to represent the electron flavour so that both and are initially unit vectors in the -direction.
In the absence of ordinary matter the general equations of motion Eq. (A.2) are
where is the vacuum oscillation frequency, represents the strength of the - interaction, i.e., the density of the neutrino gas, and with vacuum mixing angle .
A mixing angle close to zero corresponds to the normal mass hierarchy in which is essentially identical with the lower mass state, while near corresponds to the inverted hierarchy with residing largely in the heavier mass state. In the latter case we will also use the notation
Therefore, whenever appears as a small quantity it signifies directly that we are in an inverted mass situation. Alternatively, one could restrict the vacuum mixing angle to and switch to the inverted hierarchy with the replacement . However, in our treatment it is more natural to keep always positive and extend the range of mixing angles to .
In order to illustrate the phenomena we wish to study we show in Fig. 1 the evolution of for a vacuum mixing angle near , corresponding to an inverted mass hierarchy. At first hardly moves at all, but after some time it flips almost completely. Therefore, even a very small mixing angle leads to complete flavour conversion. Of course, this simple system is periodic so that the motion then reverses itself. The behaviour of is identical to that of . In other words, both and convert simultaneously to and .
This evolution can be understood from Eq. (II.1). Initially the difference of the polarisation vectors
vanishes so that there is no neutrino-neutrino effect. When the polarisation vectors and begin to precess in opposite directions around , a non-zero develops in the -direction orthogonal to . Both and then tilt around , leading to a complete flavour reversal (inverted hierarchy) or to small oscillations (normal hierarchy).
Observe that and behave symmetrically and their -components develop identically. This suggests that instead of these polarisation vectors one should use their sum and difference vectors as independent variables, i.e., as defined in Eq. (3), and444Our vector corresponds to of Ref. Duan:2005cp , whereas corresponds to their , i.e., what Ref. Duan:2005cp calls a sum is what we call a difference, and vice versa. This reversal of roles arises because we work with polarisation vectors, while Ref. Duan:2005cp uses “neutrino flavour isospin (NFIS)” vectors. We discuss the advantages and disadvantages of these languages in Sec. VII.
The -component of quantifies the flavour content of the combined and ensemble. The equations of motion for the and vectors are
The first line of Eq. (II.1) suggests yet another vector to describe the ensemble,
For strong neutrino-neutrino interactions () we can think of as identical to .
Since , it follows that . With , the equations of motion are now
Clearly, the length of is conserved and stays at its initial value
where we have used , and the initial values and .
II.2 Spherical pendulum
The vector in flavour space plays the role of a spherical pendulum in that its length is conserved so that it can move only on a sphere of radius . In this picture, the role of the different quantities is most easily understood if we consider the total energy of the system,
up to a constant. The first term is the potential energy of the pendulum in a homogeneous force field represented by . The second term is the kinetic energy, with playing the role of the pendulum’s orbital angular momentum. Observing that is constant due to Eq. (II.1) and thus zero in our case , the first line in Eq. (II.1) implies
and hence . The scale of the potential energy is set by the vacuum neutrino oscillation frequency , whereas is to be identified with the moment of inertia. The latter should be compared with for an ordinary mass suspended by a string of length . The role of inertia in the pendulum analogy is played by the inverse strength of neutrino-neutrino interaction!
II.3 Plane pendulum
Our initial conditions imply . The pendulum’s subsequent oscillations are confined in a plane defined by and the -axis. Therefore, the problem reduces to solving for the motion of the tilt angle of relative to the -axis. Writing , we find
Equation (II.3) can be further simplified to
The inverse of is the characteristic time scale for the bipolar evolution. In the limit of strong neutrino-neutrino coupling, and hence . In the opposite limit (), we have so that . In this latter case the characteristic frequency of the system is the vacuum oscillation frequency , and and oscillate independently.
The equations of motion (II.3) follow directly from the classical Hamiltonian for a simple pendulum
where is a coordinate and its canonically conjugate momentum. Indeed, the equations (II.3) are but and .
Assuming a small vacuum mixing angle and a small excursion angle of the pendulum, the potential can be expanded
(15) | |||||
In this case the system is equivalent to a harmonic oscillator with frequency . On the other hand, for angles near so that , we get the same expansion but with a negative sign; the system corresponds to an inverted harmonic oscillator.
II.4 Bipolar flavour conversion
II.4.1 Normal hierarchy
Consider the small mixing limit in the normal hierarchy. Here, the initial condition puts near the minimum of the potential at . Since , the system remains trapped inside the cosine potential well, oscillating about the minimum with amplitude and frequency . In terms of and , any departure from the initial is at most second order in . No dip features develop in this scenario.
II.4.2 Inverted hierarchy with arbitrary
Using the relation , the potential (15) can be written as
(16) | |||||
in the inverted hierarchy. Depending on the strength of the neutrino-neutrino interactions (i.e., the ratio ), can take on a range of initial values from to in the small limit. In other words, the evolution of the system begins with sitting near the maximum of the potential if , or, for smaller values of , somewhere further down the slope.
Since , the form of the potential guarantees that always rolls to the minimum in the small limit. Evaluating for and at , one finds
Thus complete flavour conversion, i.e., , is only possible in the strong neutrino-neutrino coupling limit . A partial conversion can be achieved for comparable and . No conversion occurs for , which remains always in the small oscillations regime.
II.4.3 Inverted hierarchy with
We now focus on . The initial condition puts near the maximum of the potential at . Since , and and are both small, the motion of begins slowly, which explains the long plateau phases between dips in Fig. 1. The dips themselves correspond to the crossing of the anharmonic potential once grows to the order unity. The duration of the dips is fixed by the crossing time of the anharmonic potential and thus is of order . The duration of the plateau, on the other hand, is determined by the smallness of the mixing angle . If is exactly zero, i.e., no mixing, then there is no motion and sits at the exact maximum of the potential forever.
In order to estimate the time it takes for the polarisation vectors to flip in the small limit, we return to the equation of motion for this case,
with . As long as is small this is equivalent to
Using the initial conditions and , this equation is solved by
Initially , but at of order turns to exponential growth when has become of order . Therefore, the time it takes for to grow to order unity, or equivalently, the half period of the bipolar motion is
Therefore, the duration of the plateau phases in Fig. 1 or the time between dips scales logarithmically with the small vacuum mixing angle.
II.5 Which mass hierarchy?
We demonstrated that, assuming small mixing, complete flavour conversion occurs for the inverted mass hierarchy, while small oscillations occur for the normal hierarchy. However, this applies only if the initial ensemble consists of and . If the initial ensemble had consisted instead of and , then the situation would be reversed so that large flavour conversions would occur for the normal hierarchy. Put another way, the unstable case is when the initial ensemble consists of that flavour which is dominated by the heavier mass eigenstate. This symmetry between the neutrino flavours is an important difference to flavour conversion caused by the MSW effect that occurs for the normal mass hierarchy independently of the flavour of the initial state.
II.6 Which flavour conversion?
We have used the term “flavour conversion” loosely to describe the simultaneous conversion of equal numbers of and to equal numbers of and . Of course, the net flavour lepton number of the initial state vanishes and remains so at all times. Therefore, the “conversion” we are considering in the bipolar context does not violate flavour lepton number, but, rather, we should think of it as a coherent pair process of the form .
If the initial system is asymmetric with a net electron lepton number, i.e., and are not initially identical, this difference is quantified by our vector , whose projection in the -direction represents the net flavour lepton number. From Eq. (II.1) we observe that is conserved. In other words, there is no net conversion of flavour beyond what is caused by ordinary vacuum oscillations, and the net lepton numbers of vacuum mass eigenstates are strictly conserved. This statement is independent of the strength of , and applies irrespective of the asymmetric system being in the synchronised or bipolar regime. It also applies to the multi-mode system described in a later section.
III Background Matter
An ordinary background medium has little impact on the bipolar flavour conversion Duan:2005cp ; Duan:2006an ; Duan:2006jv . This surprising observation runs against the intuition that in a medium the mixing angle should be suppressed. We have already found that the time scale for bipolar flavour conversion depends only logarithmically on the vacuum mixing angle. One would perhaps expect this time scale to depend also logarithmically on the matter density.
To investigate this case we include matter effects caused by charged leptons in the equations of motion,
In the absence of other terms, and would precess around in the same direction with a frequency . Therefore, it was noted in Refs. Duan:2005cp ; Duan:2006an that the equations simplify if we study them in a frame co-rotating around the -direction, i.e., around the -direction.
In the co-rotating frame, the equations of motion for this system take the form of our original equations (II.1), except that is now time dependent, rotating around the -direction with frequency ,
If this rotation is faster than all other frequencies one would naïvely expect that the transverse components of average to zero, leaving us with along the -axis, i.e., an effectively vanishing mixing angle and no flavour conversion. However, as it turns out, there remains a net effect on the polarisation vectors, and bipolar flavour conversions occur after all!
To understand this case quantitatively and qualitatively we consider the full set of equations (II.1), keeping in mind the time dependence of the vector in the co-rotating frame [cf. Eq. (23)]. We define a new vector as per Eq. (6). However, since is now time-dependent, the new equations of motion have a slightly more complex structure than Eq. (II.1),
Thus is not strictly conserved; its length will, in the small limit, exhibit order fluctuations around some mean value given by Eq. (8).
Note that too is no longer exactly conserved. However, this non-conservation is likely to become relevant only in the vacuum oscillation dominated regime and for significant vacuum mixing angles: Since the non-constant part of is proportional to and oscillates with frequency , while, according to Eq. (III), evolves with frequency , the time varying part of is proportional to and will tend to average out in the matter dominated regime we are interested in. Of course, if the matter term varies adiabatically, a large change of in the form of the ordinary MSW effect is possible.
We are interested in the case of small mixing in an inverted hierarchy, so that
to the lowest order in . Furthermore, since we are concerned only with instances at which the deviation of from the -direction is small, we can parameterise the motion of by two small tilt angles and , so that to lowest order
and vanishes. As a consequence of this expansion, and are of higher order. In other words, to lowest order does not develop a -component; it remains a vector in the --plane. One then finds a simple set of equations of motion,
with . Of course, had we considered the normal hierarchy in which , we would have found two driven harmonic oscillator equations instead.
Using the initial conditions , , , and , Eq. (III) is solved by
Therefore, the tilt angles have a small oscillatory motion driven by the rotating vector. For these oscillatory terms no longer matter much relative to the exponentially growing terms which scale asymptotically as . The most remarkable feature, however, is that the exponential term for involves an additional factor that is absent for .
If the matter effect is small, , the tilt is mostly in the -direction in the co-rotating frame. The tilt in the -direction is relatively suppressed by a factor . In the limit , the co-rotating frame coincides with the “laboratory” frame, and the tilt occurs exclusively in the -direction as already seen in Sec. II. On the other hand, when the matter effect is strong, , the opposite applies. The tilt is mostly in the -direction in the co-rotating frame, the motion in the -direction being relatively suppressed by . We have observed this counter-intuitive behaviour also in numerical examples where indeed tilts in the -direction when the matter effect is large.
To track the flavour evolution, only the -component of is of interest; its tilting direction is irrelevant. For , we ignore the oscillatory terms and use the asymptotic behaviour so that
Therefore, the time scale for flavour conversion is
The presence of matter has little impact on the overall behaviour of the bipolar system except for a logarithmic extension of . This effect is illustrated in Fig. 2.
IV Varying Neutrino Density
In numerical simulations of the flavour evolution of supernova neutrinos in the single-angle approximation, one observes almost complete flavour conversion, apparently caused by the bipolar effect. We have seen that a bipolar system does lead to almost complete conversion, but also that the evolution is periodic. Therefore, being in the bipolar regime alone does not explain complete conversion. We have also seen that the impact of ordinary matter on the bipolar system is negligible. Therefore, it appears that the decline of the neutrino density, and therefore of , along the neutrino flux is the likely cause of almost complete flavor conversion.
To study the impact of a time-varying (or, in a supernova, space-varying) neutrino density in a concrete example, we assume that all neutrinos have the same energy and oscillate in vacuum with the frequency , corresponding to the “atmospheric” neutrino mass difference for typical supernova neutrino energies [see Eq. (76)]. We express all “frequencies” in units of km-1 and all length scales in km as appropriate for the supernova environment. For the - interaction energy we use at the neutrino sphere (), and a dependence on the radius given by Eq. (77), i.e., essentially an scaling. This scaling reflects both the ordinary flux dilution with , and the degree of collinearity in the neutrino motion which introduces approximately another factor . The quantity as a function of radius is shown in Fig. 3.
Furthermore, we assume that (i) we have equal fluxes of neutrinos and antineutrinos, (ii) all of them are initially in the same flavour, (iii) the mass hierarchy is inverted, and (iv) the mixing angle is , representing a possibly small mixing angle. We then find numerically the survival probability of the initial flavour as shown in Fig. 4.
As expected, we observe in Fig. 4 bipolar oscillations above the neutrino sphere at km. Moreover, we observe that the oscillation amplitude declines as a function of radius so that after a few tens of km we obtain complete flavour conversion. The question then is: can the decline of the upper envelope of the survival probability be explained by way of the flavour pendulum?
In the pendulum language, we start at small radii with the usual full oscillations. However, while the pendulum oscillates, we slowly reduce , i.e., we increase adiabatically the moment of inertia . Since the kinetic energy is and the angular momentum is conserved, an increase in corresponds to a decrease in the kinetic energy. This is akin to a dancer who can speed up or slow down a pirouette by changing the moment of inertia. The continuous decrease in and hence in the kinetic energy, however, means that during subsequent swings, the pendulum will be unable to reach its previous height. This explains the general feature of a declining upper envelope in the survival probability caused by a decreasing (Fig. 4).
It is important to note that the potential energy is independent of ; it depends only on . Therefore, our pendulum is not like a gravitational one where the potential energy would be affected by a changing mass. Instead, we can imagine the bob of the pendulum being charged and feeling the force of a homogeneous electric field.
Let us now quantify the decline of the upper envelope in Fig. 4. The kinetic energy at a given time is . The conservation of angular momentum, except for the natural pendulum motion, implies that a sudden change at some time causes a change in kinetic energy of . For example, if we change by when the pendulum swings past its lowest point at which the kinetic energy is maximal, then the relative change is . However, decreases slowly compared to the oscillation period so that we may assume a linear decline. Therefore, the change of occurs over the entire oscillation period and thus must be weighted with a factor proportional to over one oscillation period. If the oscillation is approximately harmonic, we have with the pendulum’s natural frequency. The average of is . Therefore, if over one period decreases by a factor where , then . In other words, is reduced by a factor so that .
The maximal kinetic energy equals the maximal potential energy minus its minimum, achieved within one oscillation. The potential energy normalised such that its minimum is zero, for small mixing angles and for large , gives us the projection of the summed polarisation vector on the flavour axis. Therefore, the upper envelope of the survival probability in Fig. 4 should scale with . In Fig. 5 we show the same survival probabilities with as a radial coordinate. The decline is indeed nearly linear, especially for small-amplitude oscillations (toward the right side of the plot) where the pendulum oscillations are more nearly harmonic.
Our pendulum analogy elegantly explains the most puzzling feature of the bipolar supernova neutrino oscillations, i.e., that they actually lead to flavour conversion rather than permanent bipolar oscillations. We are simply seeing the relaxation of the pendulum to its downward rest position as kinetic energy is extracted by the reduction of the neutrino-neutrino interaction potential and thus the increase of the pendulum’s inertia.
V Neutrino Asymmetry
V.1 Realistic supernova example
The behaviour of neutrinos streaming off a supernova core looks, however, rather different from this simple picture. Besides the dependence of on the radius, another crucial feature is the initial neutrino-antineutrino asymmetry; the number flux of is the largest, that of smaller, and those of the other species yet smaller but equal to one another. We represent this situation by the initial conditions and . The equations of motion for this system are simply those given in Sec. II.1. Solving them numerically yields the relative and fluxes shown in Fig. 6. Plotting relative fluxes instead of survival probabilities makes conservation of the net flavour-lepton flux evident.
Observe that the initial flavour-lepton asymmetry is conserved so that there remains a net flux of originally set at km. Otherwise there is complete flavour conversion over a length scale given by the decrease of as a function of radius. Similar results are found in detailed numerical studies within the “one-angle approximation” where the neutrino interaction strength is taken equal for all modes (Fig. 8c of Ref. Duan:2006an and private communication by S. Pastor and R. Tomàs based on the numerical scheme of Ref. Pastor:2002we ). Changing the vacuum mixing angle and adding normal matter causes only the minor logarithmic changes predicted earlier.
The behaviour of the neutrino ensemble between the neutrino sphere at 10 km and km is explained by synchronised oscillations due to the neutrino-antineutrino asymmetry and the large value of in this region. Beyond this we enter the bipolar regime out to about 200 km when vacuum oscillations take over. In other words, the flavour evolution of neutrinos streaming off a supernova core are determined by a transition from synchronised oscillations at small radii (large ), bipolar oscillations at intermediate radii (intermediate ), and ordinary vacuum oscillations at large radii (small ) as first stressed in Ref. Duan:2005cp . If ordinary matter is included, it affects the synchronised region at small radii in the usual way by making the effective mixing angle smaller, and likewise at large radii where no collective effects occur. It is only in the intermediate, bipolar oscillation regime where ordinary matter has no significant impact on the system. Confusingly, the bipolar behaviour does not correspond to the limit of large or small neutrino densities; it corresponds to intermediate densities Duan:2005cp .
We have already explained the decline of the upper envelope of these curves in the bipolar regime which should scale as . To confirm this behaviour once more we show in Fig. 7 (middle panel) the relative fluxes of Fig. 6 with as a radial coordinate. The decline of both the upper and lower envelopes are stunningly linear. This reflects the small-amplitude nature of the oscillations which are now nearly harmonic so that our previous argument works better here than in the previous section.
V.2 Transition between different oscillation modes
The lepton asymmetry of the neutrino flux is crucial for understanding a realistic supernova case. To develop a first understanding of this situation we consider an asymmetric ensemble with the initial condition where . If the - interaction is sufficiently strong, the two polarisation vectors will hang together by their “internal magnetic field” and all vectors , , , and precess around with the same synchronised frequency. Using and , we thus find the usual result
Observe that the synchronised motion is faster for more symmetric systems!
To achieve synchronised oscillations, the internal frequencies of the system, i.e., their precession frequency around a common spin, must exceed the slow precession around the external magnetic field . In our case of two polarisation vectors, the internal motion is described by . When synchronisation prevails, has a fixed length so that the internal frequency is . Successful synchronisation means that this frequency must exceed , or, equivalently,
This is exactly the argument and result presented in Ref. Duan:2005cp . When this condition is violated, the motion becomes bipolar.
Actually, this condition derives from an even simpler argument if we consider the total energy of the system,
Synchronised oscillations require that the energy of the system be dominated by the spin-spin interaction, the second term. Assuming a small vacuum mixing angle so that is nearly aligned with the initial polarisation vectors, and observing that and , the requirement that the spin-spin term dominates is , identical with Eq. (33) up to a multiplicative factor.
In other words, synchronised oscillations occur when the neutrino-neutrino part of the Hamiltonian always dominates over the vacuum-oscillation part, even for the most disadvantageous orientation of the polarisation vectors. At the other extreme, no collective effects obtain when the neutrino-neutrino part never dominates, even for the most advantageous orientation of these vectors, i.e., when . The bipolar regime corresponds to the intermediate range where the relative magnitude of the different energy contributions depends on the orientation of the polarisation vectors. In summary, bipolar oscillations are expected when
and thus occur for an intermediate strength of the neutrino-neutrino interaction, i.e., an intermediate range of neutrino densities as first discussed in Ref. Duan:2005cp . The exact numerical factor on the r.h.s. of this equation is taken from Eq. (46) below.
V.3 Asymmetric system as a pendulum with spin
This simple reasoning gives us the correct scale for the transition between synchronised and bipolar oscillations, but does not explain the nature of the transition. The two oscillation modes must be extreme cases of a continuum, yet the nature of the intermediate cases is not obvious. It turns out that this continuum has a straightforward physical interpretation that is quite illuminating for an understanding of the entire system.
To this end we note that the asymmetric system is described by the same equations of motion (II.1) for and as the symmetric case, and is likewise conserved. The new feature here is the initial condition and , so that Eq. (II.1) now implies
is a constant of the motion, the expression (36) can be equivalently written as
with . The first term in the expression corresponds to the orbital angular momentum as before, while the second term plays the role of an inner angular momentum (i.e., spin) of the pendulum’s bob. This spin is always along the direction , implying that we should think of the system as a spinning top mounted in a way that its axis of rotation can swing like a pendulum. If the top has no spin (i.e., ), it acts as an ordinary spherical pendulum.
Starting with the equation of motion and observing that , we find
For the case , we recover the equation of motion of a pendulum swinging in the plane defined by and the initial vector which we always choose to be in the -direction. Conversely, if is so large that we can neglect the first term, we are back to a spin-precession equation with a precession frequency . For we have
so is indeed equal to of Eq. (32).
The extreme cases thus have an intuitive interpretation. Synchronised oscillations correspond to the flavour top spinning so fast that its response to the force field is precession, just like a spun-up top on a flat table surface. On the other hand, if the top spins slowly (corresponding to the case of a small neutrino asymmetry), then it swings like an ordinary pendulum; the inner angular momentum in this case has little impact, and we are in the bipolar mode.
Let us consider the asymmetric system in more detail. Several conserved quantities are apparent. One is the energy of the system,
(41) | |||||
where we have added a constant to the potential energy such that it vanishes when the pendulum is oriented opposite to the force field. The other conserved quantity is the projection of in the direction, corresponding to the conservation of that component of the angular momentum parallel to the force field and which is thus not subject to a torque.
The conservation of angular momentum implies that the initial lepton asymmetry cannot be changed beyond the amount caused by ordinary vacuum oscillations. In all practical cases we begin with oriented along the -axis, while is tilted by . If is small, the initial neutrino asymmetry is almost perfectly conserved. Thus the self-interacting system cannot stimulate an exotically large flavour conversion effect.
If the spin is not quite fast enough for perfect precession, the overall motion is a wobble. The spinning top starts in a nearly upright position, its axis pointing nearly to the north pole. It will tilt a bit until it reaches a certain latitude, when its motion reverses back to the north pole. The latitude of reversal will lie further south if either or both of and is smaller. In other words, a smaller - term makes the system “more bipolar”. A more symmetric system (smaller ) is also more bipolar.
The southernmost position the pendulum can reach is defined by energy and angular momentum conservation. As an example, we take the mixing angle to be very small so that is very close to the -direction. In this approximation, the initial total energy is and energy conservation implies
On the other hand, angular momentum conservation along the -direction gives
where is the velocity perpendicular to , i.e., the pendulum’s velocity along a circle of latitude. The largest excursion is reached when the pendulum reverses its motion at its southernmost position where . Combined with Eqs. (42) and (43), we find
for the largest excursion angle.
As expected, if either or both of and becomes smaller, Eq. (44) tells us that the pendulum reaches more southern latitudes. On the other hand, the equation has no solution for
This condition corresponds to the fully synchronised case, which prohibits any deviation from perfect -alignment because of our artificial assumption of and the initial and being exactly aligned. If the pendulum had not initially been perfectly aligned with , solutions would exist for all values of the parameters. Still, for small mixing angles, Eq. (45) provides an excellent estimate of the condition for synchronised behaviour. Using Eq. (V.3), this condition is equivalent, in the limit, to
where, we recall, parameterises the lepton asymmetry by virtue of .
Taking our previous asymmetric example with and (i.e., ) and assuming , synchronised behaviour is expected for or . This estimate corresponds well with the onset of synchronisation in the top panel of Fig. 7 where the mixing angle is large. Of course, the true point of onset also depends logarithmically on the mixing angle—see the other panels of Fig. 7.
It is now evident that the onset of bipolar oscillations does not imply full conversions. As we move into the bipolar regime, the spinning top begins to wobble, reaching only some southern latitude, but not the south pole. How far south it will get, i.e., the spread between the upper and lower envelopes in Fig. 7, depends on the details of how the system enters the bipolar regime. If the mixing angle is large, bipolar oscillations begin almost immediately so that the amplitude of the oscillations will be small. If the mixing angle is small, the delayed onset of the first bipolar swing allows to decrease further, thereby resulting in a more southern turning point. Therefore, smaller mixing angles imply a later onset of oscillations and a larger spread between the envelopes. This is borne out by the examples shown in Fig. 7, where , and from top to bottom.
V.4 Equipartition of Energies
We have noted that the energy of the spinning top decreases in proportion to once it has entered the bipolar regime, assuming the decline of is sufficiently slow. It is illuminating to note that from that time onward, the total energy Eq. (41) is equipartitioned between , the potential energy in the external force field, and , the internal and orbital kinetic energy of the spinning top (equivalent to the neutrino-neutrino interaction energy).
To illustrate this point we show for our toy supernova the evolution of , and in Fig. 8, using once more as a radial coordinate. Observe that indeed at or for our example . It is intriguing that the transition between the synchronised and the bipolar regime is practically independent of the mixing angle. The same is true also for the total energy , which decreases very nearly as in the bipolar regime as explained earlier. In the synchronised regime close to the supernova, the potential energy does not depend on whereas the kinetic energy decreases with . In the bipolar region, on the other hand, the kinetic and potential energies are nearly equipartitioned after averaging over the pendulum’s nutation period.
To understand this equipartition effect analytically, we consider a case where the nutation amplitude is very small as in the top panel of Fig. 8 (large mixing angle), so that it suffices to study only the precession, i.e., we assume the pendulum’s orbital motion is such that its velocity is along a circle of latitude. As a function of excursion angle , the total energy is
Using angular-momentum conservation Eq. (43) and the relation to eliminate the orbital velocity, we find

In Aroma Franchise Company Inc. et al. v Aroma Espresso Bar Canada Inc. et al., 2023 ONSC 1827, Justice Steele set aside two international awards (on the merits and as to costs and interest) arising out of a franchise dispute on the basis of a reasonable apprehension of bias on the part of the Arbitrator for failure to disclose that during the arbitration he had been appointed by counsel for one of the parties to serve as sole arbitrator on another matter even though it did not involve a franchise dispute and was in a different industry.
The Applicant franchisor sought: (1) to set aside two international awards and; (2) an order that the matters in issue be decided by a new arbitrator. The Applicant argued that there was a reasonable apprehension of bias on the part of the Arbitrator, that the Arbitrator exceeded his jurisdiction, and that the Arbitrator gave inadequate reasons. This Case Note will focus only on the first ground. Justice Steele described the issue before her as, “whether the Arbitrator ought to have disclosed a subsequent retainer from the same lawyer while the case was ongoing, and whether in the circumstances of this case, his failure to do so would give rise to a reasonable apprehension of bias”.
Background dispute – Respondent Aroma Espresso Bar Canada Inc. was the master Canadian franchisee (the “Franchisee”) of Applicant Aroma Franchise Company Inc. (the “Franchisor”), and acted as a mediary between the Franchisor and individual coffee shop owners in Canada. A dispute arose regarding the Franchisee’s cancellation of supply orders from Aroma Israel, which had been the sole supplier of coffee for many years. The Franchisor took steps under the Master Franchise Agreement (the “MFA”) to terminate and assume the Franchisee’s role with respect to the individual Canadian franchisees. The Franchisee in turn also alleged various breaches of the MFA by the Franchisor.
The Aroma Arbitration – The parties alleged various claims and counterclaims in the Aroma Arbitration. Ultimately, the Arbitrator found that the Franchisor had wrongfully terminated the MFA and ordered it, in part, to pay the Franchisee $10 million in damages. However, the Franchisor was successful in its claim against the Franchisee for certain unpaid royalties in the amount of $69,000.
The reasonable apprehension of bias issue -The MFA contained an arbitration clause which stated, among other things, that:
“…The parties shall jointly select one (1) neutral arbitrator from the panel of arbitrators maintained by the ADR Institute. The arbitrator must be either a retired judge, or a lawyer experienced in the practice of franchise law, who has no prior social, business or professional relationship with either party…”
Approximately 17 months into the Aroma arbitration, the Arbitrator was appointed as the sole arbitrator on another dispute by one of the counsel for the Franchisee and a colleague at the same firm. This was not disclosed to counsel for the Respondent Franchisor. The essential facts that are relevant to the allegation of a reasonable apprehension of bias on the part of the Arbitrator are as follows.
On January 7, 2022, the Arbitrator emailed counsel for the parties to advise that the final award was ready and requested additional payment before releasing it. In this email and an email dated January 11, 2022, enclosing the final award, the Arbitrator copied a lawyer from the firm acting for the Franchisee who had not been involved in the Aroma arbitration. Counsel for the Franchisor asked for an explanation from counsel for the Franchisee first (before the outcome of the arbitration was known) and then from both him and the Arbitrator (after the outcome was known). He stated in the latter email that “our clients wish to have clarification as to why he was copied, including whether there is or has been any other relationship of any kind between Mr. Arbitrator and [the firm acting for the Franchisee], including any other appointments as arbitrator or mediator.”
In response to that email and two others from counsel for the Franchisor the following week, the Arbitrator explained that copying new counsel was an error, and he disclosed that:
1. The firm acting for the Franchisee in the Aroma arbitration had retained him as sole arbitrator in October 2020 in another dispute which was ongoing;
2. He was retained by the new lawyer who, not his client, signed the terms of appointment. This new lawyer had day-to-day carriage, but counsel for the Franchisee in the Aroma arbitration had involvement in the new dispute from time to time;
3. The issues in the new dispute did not involve franchise law, but there were contract issues in an industry completely unrelated to the Aroma business and in a different contractual relationship. The Arbitrator stated that, in his view, the contract issues were not in any way related to the contract issues in the Aroma arbitration and that there was no overlap in the issues between the two cases. He also stated that he was not aware of any connection between the parties in the new dispute and the Aroma arbitration.
On January 20, 2022, the Franchisor advised the Arbitrator that it intended to apply to the Court to set aside the final award, including on the basis of a reasonable apprehension of bias.
The decision of Justice Steele – The arbitration was seated in Ontario. Justice Steele relied upon two provisions of the Model Law [as adopted in the Ontario International Commercial Arbitration Act, 2017, S.O. 2017, c. 2, Sch 5 (the “ICCA”)]. Article 34(2)(a)(iv) provides that a court may set aside an award where “the composition of the tribunal…was not in accordance with the agreement of the parties….” Also, Article 18 provides that all, “parties shall be treated with equality and each party shall be given a full opportunity of presenting his case”. Justice Steele held that a violation of Article 18 would provide sufficient grounds to set aside an award.
Justice Steele considered an arbitrator’s duty to disclose.
First, she noted that Article 12 of the Model Law provides:
“(1) When a person is approached in connection with his possible appointment as an arbitrator, he shall disclose any circumstances likely to give rise to justifiable doubts as to his impartiality or independence. An arbitrator, from the time of his appointment and throughout the arbitral proceedings, shall without delay disclose any such circumstances to the parties unless they have already been informed of them by him.
(2) An arbitrator may be challenged only if circumstances exist that give rise to justifiable doubts as to his impartiality or independence, or if he does not possess qualifications agreed to by the parties. A party may challenge an arbitrator appointed by him, or in whose appointment he has participated, only for reasons of which he becomes aware after the appointment has been made.” [emphasis added]
Second, Justice Steele considered the IBA Guidelines on Conflicts of Interest in International Arbitration. The parties argued about their applicability, but Justice Steele relied upon Justice Mew’s decision of Jacob Securities Inc. v. Typhoon Capital B.V., 2016 ONSC 604, at para 41, in which he stated that they are “are widely recognized as an authoritative source of information as to how the international arbitration community may regard particular fact situations in reasonable apprehension of bias cases.”
Justice Steele referred to the following provisions in the IBA Guidelines (paras. 33 to 37) –which I list, along with my commentary:
- If facts or circumstances exist that may, in the eyes of the parties, give rise to doubts as to the arbitrator’s impartiality or independence, the arbitrator shall disclose such facts or circumstances to the other parties […] prior to accepting his or her appointment or, if thereafter, as soon as he or she learns of them. [emphasis added] [Part I, General Standard 3(a)];
- Circumstances on the “Orange List”, which raise “potentially a problem” include where the arbitrator has, within the past three years, been appointed on more than three occasions by the same counsel or the same law firm. This effectively recognizes that an arbitrator may be engaged more than once by the same counsel. It does not automatically fall on the Orange List unless the appointment has been made more than three times within the past three years. Note that the Orange List is non-exhaustive. [Part II, Practical Application 3, the “Orange List”];
- “…An appointment made by the same party or the same counsel appearing before an arbitrator, while the case is ongoing, may also have to be disclosed, depending on the circumstances”. [Part II, Practical Application 6] However, this language does not appear in the Orange List proper, where one might expect to find it, but rather in the Practical Application of the General Standards section – which also says that situations not listed in the Orange List or falling outside the time limits used in some of the Orange List situations are not subject to disclosure [emphasis added]. It all depends upon the circumstances.
Third, with respect to the relevant circumstances, the Franchisor argued that the new engagement ought to have been disclosed in the circumstances of this case, which included: “the expectations of the parties in the selection of the Arbitrator, the fact that the Arbitrator was the sole arbitrator in the Aroma arbitration and not part of a panel (and therefore controlled the outcome), the existence of overlapping issues between the [new dispute] and the Aroma arbitration, the terms of the MFA, and the correspondence between counsel regarding the sorts of things that would be a concern prior to the engagement of the Arbitrator.” That pre-appointment correspondence included discussions about whether counsel for either party or their firms had any business relationship with the proposed appointees in the past. Counsel for the Franchisor rejected a proposed appointee who had an ongoing arbitration with counsel for the Franchisee. This correspondence was, of course, unknown to the arbitrator.
On cross-examination, the representative for the Franchisor said that had he learned of the circumstances, and he would have objected to the Arbitrator continuing to act. Justice Steele found that this evidence was supported by the correspondence. Counsel for the Franchisee admitted that the circumstances of the new dispute would have been an “expected” disclosure.” Justice Steele agreed that the fact that the Arbitrator was a sole arbitrator was a factor.
Fourth, Justice Steele cited Article 11 of the UNCITRAL Rules (which she said applied because the parties had chosen the ADRIC Rules and that Rule 1.3.2 provides that the UNCITRAL Rules apply if the arbitration is international). Article 11 of the UNCITRAL Rules states that:
“When a person is approached in connection with his or her possible appointment as an arbitrator, he or she shall disclose any circumstances likely to give rise to justifiable doubts as to his or her impartiality or independence. An arbitrator, from the time of his or her appointment and throughout the arbitral proceedings, shall without delay disclose any such circumstances to the parties… unless they have already been informed by him or her of these circumstances”.
Fifth, she referred to Section 6 of the ADR Institute of Canada Code of Ethics, which provides that a Member shall disclose any interest or relationship likely to affect impartiality or which might create an appearance of partiality or bias.
Finally, she cited a number of relevant Canadian cases and international cases, including what is likely the leading case on the issue of multiple appointments (and persuasive in Canada), Halliburton Company v. Chubb Bermuda Insurance Ltd. UKSC 48, in which the U.K. Supreme Court noted, at para. 131, where an arbitrator has appointments in multiple matters with the same or overlapping issues with one common party, “this may, depending on the relevant custom and practice, give rise to an appearance of bias.” Justice Steele found that the Arbitrator ought to have disclosed this new appointment and that there was a reasonable apprehension of bias, which justified setting the award aside and ordering a new hearing.
First, Justice Steele’s analysis, in this case, is a reminder that the IBA Guidelines are just that – guidelines – and that each arbitrator must apply judgment to the decision about whether to disclose or not. But the decision is not an easy one, and the Guidelines are not prescriptive. In this case, there were several potentially relevant Guidelines that could have led to different conclusions about the duty to disclose. Ultimately, the decision of whether or not to disclose always depends upon the circumstances, which will always create uncertainty and risk. In the Halliburton case cited by Justice Steele, the arbitrator’s appointment in multiple arbitrations with respect to related and overlapping matters – not the case here – did not give rise to a finding of a reasonable apprehension of bias. In addition, this may be a rare case in which both the applicant and the respondent agreed that the circumstances required disclosure.
Second, this is one of only a few cases I am aware of in Canada in which the IBA Guidelines on Conflicts of Interest in International Arbitration have been applied by a Court as part of the analysis. In Ontario, the disclosure test is whether the circumstances give rise to a “reasonable apprehension of bias”. However, elsewhere and under the IBA Guidelines, the disclosure test is whether “facts or circumstances exist that may, in the eyes of the parties, give rise to doubts as to the arbitrator’s impartiality and independence.” This case is consistent with what appears to be commonly accepted, which is that these tests are the same. Both provide for an ongoing duty of disclosure, even after the arbitrator is appointed.
Third, this case does not refer at all to IBA Guidelines, Part I, General Standard 7, which provides that the duty of disclosure applies to parties as well. Presumably, this duty applies, by extension, their counsel when they are aware of circumstances that require disclosure. Also, Justice Steele’s analysis and the IBA Guidelines make it relevant whether the arbitrator was appointed by the parties or their counsel. Neither of these issues was explored in the decision. Finally, for a Case Note on an earlier decision in this matter, see Ontario – Arbitrator no jurisdiction to hear challenge for bias after partial final award – #691. | <urn:uuid:ba09b99e-2b8a-425d-bdb2-a259b55391da> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://arbitrationmatters.com/ontario-multiple-arbitral-appointments-give-rise-to-reasonable-apprehension-of-bias-734/ | 2024-04-16T04:28:46Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296817043.36/warc/CC-MAIN-20240416031446-20240416061446-00767.warc.gz | en | 0.968288 | 3,034 |

These CDs will get you in the holiday mood
A Christmas hit can become an annuity for a recording artist or songwriter -- and a cherished part of the season for years to come. Each year brings a selection of new would-be classics, as recording artists and offer new versions of Christmas standards and a few original songs as well. Six new albums by local artists, and a seventh with a local link, merit consideration this year.
(The Mountain Apple Company)
The Brothers Cazimero got a jump on everyone by releasing their third Christmas album in early October. We described it then as "...another delightful collection. Everything fits, nothing disappoints."
The arrangements evoke memories of the Brothers' old-time Christmas concerts at Bishop Museum and the Blaisdell Arena. One of the most memorable selections is a medley that combines Bobby Helms' 1957 hit, "Jingle Bell Rock," with "Jingle Bells." Local artists almost always embarrass themselves when they do remakes of Hot 100 classics, but the Cazimeros' version of Helms' hit is one of the rare exceptions.
They also take a a fresh approach to "Up on the Housetop" by adding the Drifters' 1963 hit, "Up on the Roof," but then spoil it by failing to mention Gerry Goffin and Carole King in the composers' credits.
"Christmas Once More In Hawaii Nei"
Gail Mack first recorded the title song in 1986 as a favor for Robert Shinoda, who wanted to help out Gordon Okimoto, an unsuccessful participant in a radio station Christmas song-writing contest. With Shinoda's band, Nueva Vida, as the studio musicians, and Kapono Beamer playing slack-key guitar, the song got a strong launch as a playable "postcard single" as well as a conventional 7-inch vinyl record. The album can thus be seen as a 20th-anniversary reunion for Mack, Shinoda and Beamer as they're joined by several other musicians in expanding the original project into a full-length album.
Most of the songs are originals by Okimoto and other local writers. George Street's Gordon B. Kim expresses a father's bittersweet thoughts about his growing son with "That's Christmas to Me (For Max)." Becky Mello writes that Christmas should not be about conspicuous consumption and greed in "A Christmas Lei of Wildflowers," Patrick Downes adds a comic, albeit stereotypical, song to the collection with "Korean Christmas."
Mack demonstrates her ability to recreate the vocal style of the late Karen Carpenter with a conventional pop remake of "Merry Christmas Darling" that is pretty but adds nothing to the original version. Composer Okimoto's "Christmas Day In The Sun," written and performed as poppy light rock, is more impressive.
Midler gets a mention here because of her album includes a new version of "Mele Kalikimaka," the late R. Alex Anderson's hapa-haole classic that is -- thanks to Bing Crosby's recording of it as the "B side" of White Christmas" more than 60 years ago -- the best known "Hawaiian" Christmas song of all time.
Superlatives aside, Midler and producer Robbie Buchanan enlisted two local artists, Johnson Enos and Hoku Award-winner Aaron Sala, to put together the vocal arrangement for the male chorus that backs her. Midler and Buchanan put a nostalgic spin on the song but show the respect it deserves, and the chorus adds in both respects.
Keali'i Reichel writes that this gem of an album is about "more than a ritual birthday commemoration," and is intended to represent "a mindset" that recognizes the importance of care and compassion throughout the year.
Beautifully designed, and containing important cultural information about several key selections, "Maluhia" is in many ways as perfect an album as his 2003 masterpiece, "Ke'alaokamaile."
Reichel's instantly recognizable voice makes each song distinctive. "O Holy Night" and "Silent Night/Po La'i E" are two stand-out selections. Horace K. Dudoit III deserves extra credit for re-thinking "Merry Christmas Darling" as a choral piece with Ho'okena as the backing choir, and two guitarists, bass and a string quartet as the musicians. Reichel and his production team have always avoided synth-tracks, and the use of a string quartet along with other acoustic instruments adds to the beauty of every song.
With "Nu 'Oli," a 19th-century Hawaiian hymn, Reichel reminds the listener of the Christian foundation of Christmas and the deeply rooted Christian traditions he grew up with. "Ke Aloha Kalikimaka," written by Keola Donaghy, combines Christian and pre-Christian themes and images.
"Till the Season Comes 'Round Again" brings the album full circle with a message of good wishes for the new year.
Keahiwai -- Lei Melket and Mailani Makainai -- celebrate Christmas with a routine cross-section of seasonal standards that includes "The Christmas Song," "White Christmas" and a generic remake of "Merry Christmas Darling."
"Let It Snow, Let It Snow, Let It Snow" opens the album with an instantly engaging jazz groove, but co-producers Aaron Kimura, Robert Shinoda and Jon Yamasato maintain a softer and more languid soft-pop sound through the next songs. The overall mood is romantic, and that's fine, but only one voice is heard, and that creates the sense that this is an album by a solo artist rather than a duo.
That impression is dispelled with the last two songs as Melket and Makainai harmonize on "Christmas is Here," and then get effective backing from Herb Ohta Jr. and percussionist Jon Porlas on a noteworthy semi-acoustic reworking of "Rockin' Around the Christmas Tree."
"Moonbows For Christmas"
Martha "Marti" Rosenquist and producer Michael Ruff get the credit for this beautiful Christmas-themed compilation. Amy Hanaiali'i Gilliom, Eric Gilliom and Jake Shimabukuro are among the artists who participated in the fund-raising project (proceeds will help fund educational programs in Hawaii).
Kelly Covington soars in a swinging, soulful rendition of a new Rosenquist song titled "Mele Kalikimaka." The choice of title is problematic, as many will assume it is the well-known song by R. Alex Anderson, but Covington and her musicians swing!
Amy Hanaiali'i Gilliom addresses the meaning of Christmas with a beautiful original titled "Unto Us is Born a King," Cyril Pahinui touches the heart with "Harvest of Rainbows," and George Kahumoku shares a sugar-coated message about the importance of helping others with "More Poi for You."
The anti-religious themes of "Imagine" make it an odd choice for a Christmas album, and a pidgin parody of "The Night Before Christmas" is harsher than necessary, but neither reduces the overall appeal of this eclectic compilation.
"Ululoa Presents Halelu Songs of
Christmas from Hawaii"
There's a welcome traditionalist feel to this fund-raiser compilation that will benefit two Maui charities. Falsetto harmonies, slack-key guitar and acoustic bass enhance the natural island ambiance of the Hawaiian songs and give a similar feel to standards such as "Winter Wonderland."
C. Pueo Pata and Leimana Abenes team up beautifully on "Po La'i E/Silent Night," the Hula Honeys are featured on a charming version of Kui Lee's "Song of Christmas," and Kaiolohia Funes Smith celebrates the reason for the Christmas holiday season with "Hanau 'Ia 'O Iesu/Jesus was Born."
Pata, Abenes and Smith join Kamakele "Bulla" Ka'iliwai for a stirring rendition of "Poli'ahu," Kawaikapuokalani Hewett's popular ode to the snow goddess of Mauna Kea. It's not a Christmas song, but the winter theme fits.

Summer is almost over and the weather is a little bit cooler, finally. It has been a long and eventful summer. And before we talk further about what is expecting us in the future let us go back in time and look at what the Lord has done, giving Him all the glory.
Saturday, September 6, 2008
Well, both July and August were busy months. A lot of things have happened and now thinking back it seems as if two years have gone by and not two months. A definite highlight to us as a family was the fact that Pieter, Anneke’s brother came to do a youth camp. He flew into Odessa few days earlier and we were able to have a good time of family fellowship together.
Camps went well! Youth camp has been a definite blessing. Even while meeting with the campers before the camp and gathering their applications it was obvious that the Lord was putting together a very unique combination of believers and unbelievers for this camp. It seemed as there was no time needed for the campers to break the ice with one another, they just clicked together almost instantly. It was interesting, like always, to observe the way the Lord worked in the hearts of the unbelieving campers and warming their hearts up to Him. When the invitation was made 12 stated that they would like to follow Christ. We are rejoicing for the work that the Lord has done in their hearts and the hearts of those who have not received His sacrifice for their sins but were challenged about the choice they would have to make: to choose the path of forgiveness and salvation or the path of damnation and destruction.
Family camp was very different and challenging in a way. We really struggled to get families this year. And I guess the most difficult thing was that the families who would sign up would change the amount of members that they would take with or just completely cancel out. Few days before camp about 16 campers canceled out and it made the camp really small, however we do trust that the Lord has brought the ones that he wanted to see in this camp. God has blessed us with a good camp. Two people made a public confession to follow Christ, praise the Lord for that!
The pictures above: from left to right, a group photo of the family camp, a group photo of the youth camp :) If you have fast internet, also see the "scrapbooks" at the end of the posts from this month to see more pictures of the camps
Camps have two major goals among all other goals: 1. to help the local ministry (us) to establish the relationships with the campers 2. to share the Gospel with the campers. Both of those goals were achieved at the camps we had this summer now we are to follow up on those relationships and keep on using them to help the young believers grow and to keep sharing Christ with those who heard about Him at camp, who have heard His Good news yet for some reason did not make this step toward Him. We use various things as the means to follow up: picnics, one on one meetings, Bible Studies, English Clubs etc. (Pictures soon to follow- of the reunion picnic we had, Bible study, English clubs, etc :)
We have resumed our Bible Studies and it has been good to be able to get together with the “old” believers, “new” believers and those who are still seeking. We had two meetings so far and we have explored the necessity to study the Bible for all of us and the character of Christ. It was accepted well. It is encouraging to see those who still seek the Lord coming to understand Him more and more. Next month we will have a photo for you :)
As the camps are over we are slowly but surely getting back into the routine of meeting with people one on one so that we could grow in the Lord together. It has truly been exciting to get together with those whom we haven’t seen/haven’t met with for a month and a half/two months but also it is a joy to meet with those who have just started their walk with the Lord and to help them grow. The number of those people that we have to meet with is challenging but we have worked it out with our team and now every camper is accounted for.
(The picture on the right... Anneke, Roxanna and our brother Pieter!)
Anneke will start a “baking-lesson” ministry twice a week with some of the girls from camp as a means of follow up. She will plan to have these baking lessons with four specific girls- Lidya, Vika, Nika, and Katya from camp, (if others join, that will be super). While they cook and bake together, they will also go through discipleship materials on growing in Christ. Three of the four girls gave their heart to Christ before/during camp, and one of them still have not made a decision, so it will be really interesting to see how God will orchestrate this all. (The photo on the right is of Laura and my WONDRFUL Small group at camp, from left to right... Alyona, Zhenya, Anneke, Ira, Nastya, Lidya, Nika-holding down on the bag, and Vika)
Another school is about to begin (School year in Ukraine and all of the countries of the former Soviet Union starts on the 1st of September) along with another season of the Missionary Training Program. God has brought students and put together teachers and we are delighted to be a part of the training process of this young men and women. Arkadiy will be teaching two courses: Discipleship and World Religions. There are still a lot of preparations to be done.
(The picture on the right is from the last group of students that went through the IMM)
As we have mentioned before we had a very exciting youth camp but when it was over we had a crazy few days of preparations for the family camp with people calling all the time and scheduling, rescheduling and canceling their participation at camp. The phone would ring all the time. I guess both of us got more tired in between camps then after the youth camp itself, it has been crazy. When the time of camp came we were asking ourselves how will we go through the camp, we don’t have any strength left. Our eyes were fixed on the Lord and on His principle
in 2 Cor 12:9 (But he said to me, "My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness." Therefore I will boast all the more gladly of my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ may rest upon me. ) and while our eyes and hearts were fixed on this principle our minds were wondering how will the Lord do it? And to tell you the truth, now looking back we have no idea how He did it, but He did it, He gave us strength, wisdom and patience needed! To Him be the glory for His great faithfulness and love for us!

Last week I sent out an email called “Your Ticket To Opportunity”. The response I got was exactly as I thought it would be.
The number one question that came across my desk was:
“How do you teach spin rate?”
Well, the short answer (for now anyway) is this:
No one knows… yet.
I have spoken to Trevor Bauer (who owns a personal TrackMan), Wes Johnson, and Flint Wallace. Like me, they are all looking for ways to increase spin rate.
Spin rate is a measure of how... | <urn:uuid:b6d587c9-5981-49ff-8fea-fd056caec53a> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://armorypitching.com/tag/trackman/ | 2024-04-16T04:38:57Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296817043.36/warc/CC-MAIN-20240416031446-20240416061446-00767.warc.gz | en | 0.973257 | 121 |

In turn of the century Atlanta, pharmacist John Pemberton has invented a dynamite health tonic with some secret ingredients his customers can’t get enough of. There’s only one problem. With the city about to go dry, the temperance authorities are coming for him. Pemberton needs to cook up a new recipe, fast — before his own demons tear him apart.
And there’s another problem on the horizon. Its name is Pepsi-Cola.

Page Galleries presents a suite of new works from Elizabeth Thomson. Alongside these features Thomson’s remarkable Snake River (2004/2019), consisting of approximately 500 cast bronze hand-painted Horoeka (Lancewood) leaves installed directly onto the wall of the gallery.
In the opening lines of text to accompany the exhibition, Thomson’s longtime friend and collaborator Gregory O’Brien writes:
A ‘habitable zone’ might be a likeable, livable space—an agreeable domestic environment, quite possibly—yet, in planetary terms, the meaning of the phrase is more specific: It is the distance from a star at which it is possible for liquid water to exist on the surface of an orbiting planet. Elizabeth Thomson’s art exists in the universe-sized space between these two meanings—between the quotidian and the cosmic.
The works that make up Lateral Series; Habitable Zones’ trace patterns of life in the accustomed ‘habitable zone’ of Planet Earth. They track a number of journeys through this territory, taking their inspiration from the movement of a river or pathway through a landscape, a plantation of trees across rolling hillcountry, and the furrows laid into cultivated land. Thinking laterally—as Thomson’s works insist we do—we also recognize in these new works the minute patterning of leaf and cellular structures, as well as echoes of the human body, of fabrics and woven materials. The movement of a comb through the hair of the beloved.

At the Festival de Poesie
In a dressing room the size of a closet
in Vicki’s theatre, we crowd around
the table to translate what cannot be
done. The poems lie about us, scattered
into our lives like sibylline leaves
the Paris wind has thrown. We speak in tongues
not even we are sure of.
The day lives
elsewhere. A smoky night fogs our vision:
the rain is fierce in the courtyard beyond
our fanning door. Too many words limp past
our chairs and out into the liquid light.
The poems all deal with broken lives we
try to puzzle out the pieces of.
and the chance word we wish for, a mythy
phrase that will hit our heads like sewer steam
in alleys we dread to walk. Too many
hours we almost it: our minds are growing
dark with poetry.
If there was but a way
to level out our tumbling tongues, if there
was but a way to say it forever right,
then we would have out paradise in words
and no business whatever in the world.
Meeting Susan S. at Musee de l’Orangerie
The same sad hat, the same white gloves,
she wore those days in Bellagio.
The same sad eyes, disdaining loves
she may have left in Menaggio.
An accident we saw her at all:
she was slow to confirm our call.
Oh, there you are, she said, as if
we hadn’t been. Looking over
our shoulders, to the right and left,
she critiqued Monet’s clover
and trunks of trees whose tops she could
not see. But the light on the lilies was good.
Light was indeed good everywhere,
especially for Monet and now
for us, washing Paris in an air
framed by clouds and endless rainbows.
We had had a premonition
earlier we would see someone.
She paused, her eyes drifting about
the walls as if she expected some
reveling satyr to step out
of the maze of color and claim
her, his prize. We gently eased away.
She floated out into the day. | <urn:uuid:701cdc8f-b696-4322-a7f9-e147b911f474> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://artfuldodge.spaces.wooster.edu/poets-as-translators/jim-barnes/poems/ | 2024-04-16T04:48:16Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296817043.36/warc/CC-MAIN-20240416031446-20240416061446-00767.warc.gz | en | 0.9627 | 480 |
The Covid-19 pandemic has created intense financial hardship for many people working in the performing arts industries. With continued funding from the Australian Government through the Office of the Arts, Support Act is offering cash grants of $2000 ($2700 to families with dependent children) to performing arts workers called the COVID -19 Crisis Relief Grants.
These grants are not a wage subsidy, but a one off payment to help pay the rent/mortgage and living expenses. The grants are not competitive – if you meet the criteria, you will receive the grant. We encourage you to apply if you meet the criteria.
Our friends at TNA hosted an information session to explain the criteria and talk you through the application process.

Protecting the ecology and environment is a critical issue facing our planet today. The world’s ecosystems are under threat from a variety of human activities, including pollution, deforestation, and climate change. These threats are causing a number of serious problems, including the extinction of species, the loss of biodiversity, and the degradation of natural resources.
The environmental movement has its roots in the early 19th century, when a group of British scientists and naturalists began to raise concerns about the impact of human activities on the natural world. These early conservationists were motivated by a desire to protect the beauty and wonder of nature, and they argued that it was essential to preserve natural resources for future generations.
The environmental movement has had a significant impact on the way that we think about and interact with the natural world. The movement has helped to raise awareness of environmental problems, and it has also led to the passage of important environmental laws. These laws have helped to improve air and water quality, protect endangered species, and reduce pollution.
The environmental movement has also had a positive impact on the economy. Studies have shown that environmental protection can create jobs and boost economic growth. For example, a study by the World Bank found that investing in renewable energy could create millions of jobs and generate trillions of dollars in economic benefits.

American rock band Tigers Jaw have released their new single ‘Hesitation’. The new release comes ahead of their upcoming album I Won’t Care How You Remember Me, and after their previous two releases ‘Cat’s Cradle’ and ‘Lemon Mouth’ which were unveiled in October and December last year.
Recently named among 2021’s ‘Most Anticipated Albums’ by Stereogum and Alternative Press, this upcoming album is due out on March 5th via Hopeless Records.
‘Hesitation’ also features an accompanying music video directed by Shane Moran (guitarist/art director of Title Fight, who has produced visual works for New York-based Supreme).
The short film stars band members Ben Walsh, Brianna Collins, Teddy Roberts, and Colin Gorman as a motley cast of performers who drop by a birthday party, where a power struggle erupts.
Says Ben Walsh,
“’Hesitation’ describes those sinking feelings of sensing that the person you love is beginning to drift away from you. It’s subtle at first, but these small details can slowly pull apart the fabric of a relationship. When you hear the hesitation before a response or see it before an action, your brain fills in the blanks and can sense that something is over before it’s actually over.”
Of the video, Moran explains,
“The video is a meditation on wonder and, in many ways, exists as an exercise in self-belief. Filmed entirely in a Pennsylvania backyard over the course of a few hot summer days, friends and family (safely) got together to aid in the construction of a previously unknown world—one shaped by the energy of the song itself. This video attempts to showcase the contrast between the physical and the ether, the concrete and the abstract, working as a side-by-side metric to help identify when something simply does not add up.”
“Hesitation” follows the band’s December single “Lemon Mouth”, which premiered alongside an early feature at SPIN, and the lead single “Cat’s Cradle”, which earned early praise and support from The New York Times’s Playlist (“a confident step out of the shadow of the past and into the band’s future”), Pitchfork, NPR Music (New Music Friday Spotify/Apple playlist), KKBOX’s ⻄洋獨立最前線 and Indie Picks playlist, Apple Music’s Breaking Rock playlist in India and Korea, Stereogum, Brooklyn Vegan, Uproxx, Under the Radar, and more.
I Won’t Care How You Remember Me, produced by Tigers Jaw and Will Yip, finds the Scranton, Pennsylvania-based band at the height of their powers, fusing their collective skills with the synchronicity and energy they honed over several years of non-stop touring.
Whereas their latest output, 2017’s spin, was replete with several dense layers of instruments and vocals, I Won’t Care How You Remember Me pushes the elements of liveliness and human connectivity forward. This back-to-the-basement approach resulted in a new songwriting dynamic: ‘I Won’t Care How You Remember Me’ marks the first time all four members shared songwriting input.
The band’s most sonically ambitious and lyrically affecting album to date, ‘I Won’t Care How You Remember Me’ sees a newfound freshness and creative freedom crystalizing the lush world of Tigers Jaw. | <urn:uuid:0a8637b0-490c-4047-b2d5-877f3ececf3d> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://asialive365.com/tigers-jaw-release-new-single-hesitation/ | 2024-04-16T05:04:36Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296817043.36/warc/CC-MAIN-20240416031446-20240416061446-00767.warc.gz | en | 0.944811 | 779 |
Indian philanthropist and art collector Kiran Nadar was recently conferred Chevalier de la Légion d’Honneur (Knight of the Legion of Honour) by French Ambassador to India Emmanuel Lenain in recognition of her outstanding contribution in the field of art.
Nadar, Chairperson, Kiran Nadar Museum of Art (KNMA) – a philanthropic initiative in art – and a trustee of the Shiv Nadar Foundation has been recognised for her commitment to providing greater access to culture both nationally and internationally, and playing a vital role in advancing Indo-French cultural ties, and artistic cooperation.
“It is an absolute privilege for me to be conferred ‘Chevalier de l’Ordre national de la Légion d’Honneur’ and I am deeply grateful to the French Government for this great honour,” Kiran Nadar said in a statement. “KNMA has a longstanding relationship with France in the cultural space. Our partnership with France has been instrumental in bringing together diverse perspectives and promoting cultural exchange,” the statement added.
In 2022, KNMA joined hands with Alkazi Foundation and the French Institute in India to create “Converges”, the largest exhibition of original pictures from French photographers ever shown in India. This exhibition was brought to India as part of Bonjour India 2022, a six-month cultural festival organised by France across India as a present for India’s 75th Independence anniversary. | <urn:uuid:be7d905c-7566-4d7a-99f5-af7a194aaf4e> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://asiaone.co.in/art-collector-kiran-nadar-conferred-with-frances-highest-civilian-award/ | 2024-04-16T04:41:32Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296817043.36/warc/CC-MAIN-20240416031446-20240416061446-00767.warc.gz | en | 0.931831 | 310 |

The Sky This Week - Thursday June 25 to Thursday July 2
The Full Moon is Thursday July 2.
Early morning sky on Saturday June 28 looking east as seen from Adelaide at 6:30 ACST showing Mercury below the Hyades and the bright star Aldebaran. The pair are just above the horizon. Similar views will be seen elsewhere in Australia at the equivalent local time. (click to embiggen).
Mercury is at its highest in the morning skies this week on the 25th, after this it sinks back towards the horizon, but is still readily visible most of this week.
Early evening sky on Wednesday July 1 looking north-west as seen from Adelaide at 18:30 ACST showing Venus and Jupiter lose together.
Similar views will be seen elsewhere in Australia at the equivalent local time. (click to embiggen).
Mars is lost in the twilight.
Venus is easy to see above the western horizon in the twilight. At nautical twilight, an hour after sunset, it is around two hand-spans above the horizon, and still visible at astronomical twilight. Venus is a distinct "half Moon" shape in even small telescopes.
Telescopic view of Jupiter and Venus on 1 July, simulated for a 6" Newtonian with a 10 mm eyepiece. (click to embiggen)
At the start of the week Venus, Jupiter and the star Regulus in Leo form a line. Venus continues to draws closer to Jupiter during the week, being spectacularly closer on the 30th June to 2 July, when they can be covered with an outstretched finger and will fit comfortably in a low power telescope field. They are closest on July 1, when the pair are less than a finger width apart.
On the 1st, they will fit in a medium power telescope field, where the crescent Venus and banded Jupiter will be obvious.
Jupiter is easily seen in the early evening sky near Venus in the north-western sky as the night goes on. It is between the bright star Regulus in the sickle of Leo (this forms the head of the constellation of the Lion) and Pollux in Cancer. It is also not far from the rather nice Beehive cluster in Cancer, and looks very good in binoculars. Jupiter and Venus are coming closer (see Venus description above).
Jupiter is visible in the early evening, setting just after 9 pm, and is high enough for telescopic observation once twilight is over. Jupiter's Moons will be putting on a good display in both binoculars and small telescopes.
Evening sky on Saturday June 20 looking east as seen from Adelaide at 19:00 ACST. Saturn is easily visible above the horizon near the head of the Scorpion. The Moon is near Saturn at this time. The inset shows the telescopic view of Saturn at this time. Similar views will be seen elsewhere in Australia at the equivalent local time. (click to embiggen).
Saturn is now easily visible from twilight near the head of the constellation of the Scorpion not far from the bright red star Antares. The sight of the distinctive constellation of the Scorpion curled above the horizon, with bright Saturn close to its head, is very nice indeed.
The waxing Moon is near Saturn on the 28th and 29th.
While Saturn is readily visible from the end of twilight, it is best for telescope observation from around 20:00 into the early morning hours. At 22:00 it is at it's highest above the northern horizon. This is also a good time to scan Scorpius and Sagittarius with binoculars to reveal the clusters in and around the Scorpions tail.
There are lots of interesting things in the sky to view with a telescope. Especially with Jupiter, Venus and Saturn in the sky. If you don't have a telescope, now is a good time to visit one of your local astronomical societies open nights or the local planetariums.
Printable PDF maps of the Eastern sky at 10 pm AEST, Western sky at 10 pm AEDST. For further details and more information on what's up in the sky, see Southern Skywatch.

The mechanics of online slots aren’t much different from how they were when they started. A player places his bet, spins the reels and hopes that they are paying enough to allow him to walk off with a profit. As the old saying goes,”you get what you pay for.” Online slots aren’t just a bargain, but neither are they a scam.
Despite some people’s disbelief, online slots DO work and lots of offer serious money-makers. The problem lies with how many casinos lay claim to being the finest around. In order to pay their costs and keep in business, today’s online slots have been simplified and made way simpler to beat the systems. At face value, it appears that casino owners want to capitalize on everyone’s need to be entertained. It is convenient to simply hop on a plane and play where you need; why go anywhere else?
With the ease of internet slots comes more opportunities for gamblers to lose money. Playing internet casino slots isn’t any more the risky, sneakily sneaky way it used to be. Casino owners are now legally mandated to disclose just how much each spin is worth and also to have slot machines available that appeal to certain demographics.
This provides players an opportunity to select which games they want to play, should they want to play them and in what chances. They’ve a chance to pick the precise jackpot they want to win and enjoy knowing that online casinos are not sharing their secrets. In reality, online casinos have gotten so forthcoming about how the system functions that some players even post their own tips and tricks on the best way best to beat the machines. Some have become specialists, while others just follow the advice of others. No matter players are sharing their discoveries with the world.
No more is it necessary to take a risk when it comes to deciding what the best matches are. All one must do is go online to a casino and search for the slot machines offering the best payouts.

In an age where leadership advice is as accessible as the nearest bookshelf or digital device, leaders find themselves inundated with theories, strategies, and case studies promising to unlock the secrets of effective leadership. Yet, the journey from absorbing the written word to applying and integrating life-changing skills in the real world is where many falter. The gap between knowledge and action remains a chasm that few successfully bridge. So, how can leaders move beyond the allure of books to truly embody the principles of superb leadership?
Embrace Active Learning
The first step in transcending the passive intake of information is to embrace active learning. This means engaging with the material in a way that prompts reflection, questioning, and application. Instead of merely reading a book from cover to cover, leaders should challenge themselves to identify at least one actionable insight per chapter and create a plan to implement it in their daily leadership practice.
Accountability is the catalyst that transforms intention into action. Leaders should seek out or create accountability structures, whether through a trusted mentor, a peer group, or a professional coach. Sharing your goals and progress with someone else increases your commitment and the likelihood of following through. Additionally, regular check-ins provide opportunities for reflection and course correction, ensuring that new skills are not only attempted but honed and integrated.
Tailor Strategies to Your Context
One size does not fit all in leadership development. The wisdom gleaned from books must be adapted to fit the leader’s specific context, including their team’s unique dynamics, organizational culture, and the challenges at hand. Leaders should take the concepts learned and ask, “How does this apply to my situation?” Customizing strategies not only makes them more relevant but also increases the leader’s engagement and investment in the outcome.
Practice, Practice, Practice
Skills become integrated into our leadership style through practice and repetition. Leaders must create opportunities to practice new skills in a variety of contexts, reflecting on what works and what doesn’t, and adjusting their approach accordingly. This iterative process is essential for moving from understanding a concept intellectually to embodying it in one’s actions and decisions.
Foster a Growth Mindset
Embracing a growth mindset, the belief that abilities and intelligence can be developed through dedication and hard work, is fundamental. This perspective encourages leaders to view challenges as opportunities to grow and to see failures as part of the learning process. It shifts the focus from proving competence to developing competence, creating a more resilient and adaptable leader.
Engage in Reflective Practice
Reflection is a powerful tool for integrating learning into practice. It involves looking back on experiences, analyzing them, and drawing lessons. Leaders should schedule regular reflection times to consider what leadership principles they have applied, the outcomes of those actions, and what they have learned. This reflective practice solidifies the connection between theory and practice and deepens the leader’s understanding and mastery of new skills.
Invest in Coaching
Leadership coaching provides personalized support and guidance in the application of leadership skills. A coach can help a leader navigate the complexities of applying new strategies, offer feedback and perspective, and hold the leader accountable to their growth goals. Coaching is a partnership that accelerates the leader’s development and supports the integration of new skills into their leadership repertoire.
Moving beyond the lure of leadership books to the true application and integration of life-changing skills requires intention, effort, and support. By embracing active learning, seeking accountability, tailoring strategies to their context, practicing relentlessly, fostering a growth mindset, engaging in reflective practice, and investing in coaching, leaders can bridge the gap between knowledge and action. This journey transforms theoretical knowledge into the artistry and discipline of superb leadership, enabling leaders to not only aspire to greatness but to achieve it.
Give us 15 minutes to demonstrate how coaching can change your career and give you greater fulfillment.

According to the laws of the State of Florida, the crime of voyeurism occurs in two distinct but related situations. First, voyeurism is when one person secretly observes someone else in a building or vehicle that they would reasonably expect to be private. A common name for a voyeur that fits this first definition is a “peeping tom.” The statute covers more than just a house or a car— it also covers trailers, aircraft, or train cars. Voyeurism can also occur when someone secretly observes another person’s private parts (either clothed or unclothed) in any public or private place where the person being watched would normally expect privacy. This broader second definition, therefore, covers secretly observing others’ intimate areas in public places, such as a bathroom or changing room. However, in either of these two distinct types of voyeuristic scenarios, a crime only occurs when the observing person also has “lewd, lascivious, or indecent intent.” This intent requirement means that the prosecutor has to prove that the observing person acted while seeking to further an impure desire.
It is important to note that Florida Statutes separately prohibit video voyeurism under a different statute. So, the act of recording or broadcasting voyeuristic content could be an additional offense under the law.

The possible penalties for voyeurism ramp up based on how many times someone has been convicted of this crime. The first time someone is charged with voyeurism, they are being charged with a first-degree misdemeanor and are therefore looking at a maximum penalty of one year imprisonment and a $1,000 fine. The second time and each time after that, however, the crime can be charged as a third-degree felony, and the associated penalties go up to a maximum of five years in prison and a $5,000 fine. This system of increasing penalties serves to deter repeat offenses, which is an essential objective of the criminal justice system.
Florida’s criminal code limits the time prosecutors have to bring voyeurism charges against a person. While there are some crucial exceptions, generally, the clock begins to run after the offense allegedly occurred. In Florida, the length of time from the date of the offense for which one may be charged with a crime is tied to the maximum penalty of the charged crime. Because the penalties vary based on the number of times someone has been previously convicted of the crime of voyeurism, the statute of limitations will vary in turn. If a person accused of voyeurism has not been convicted before, the charge will be limited to a first-degree misdemeanor, and so prosecution must commence within two years of the date of offense. However, after obtaining a prior conviction against an accused person, the state may charge voyeurism as a third-degree felony. In that case, the state has an extra year, for a total of three years from the date of the offense, for which to commence a criminal prosecution.
There are defenses to every crime. One defense against voyeurism is countering the specific intent element. The prosecutor must prove beyond a reasonable doubt that the accused had “lewd, lascivious, or indecent intent.” Because mental states are personal and subjective, there is often ample opportunity to counter this element of voyeurism. For example, if someone accidentally walks into a changing room and observes another undressing, they wouldn’t have the intent to be guilty of voyeurism. This protects innocent people from embarrassing mistakes that become criminal convictions.
Another avenue to defend against a voyeurism charge is to counter the observed person’s reasonable expectation of privacy. This means that the observed person was not in a location where they would have had a reasonable expectation of privacy, so the accused did not commit any crime by observing that person or their intimate areas. To illustrate this defense, one could picture someone walking down a sunny public beach when they suddenly notice several towels draped up around an umbrella. If the curious beach walker investigates the odd arrangement of towels and finds someone tanning nude behind them, no crime has been committed because the sunbather did not have a reasonable expectation of privacy while being nude on the public beach. Another possible defense to a voyeurism charge could be the requirement that the accused “secretly” observe another person or that person’s intimate areas.
