Thanks so much for reading – XO – | <urn:uuid:140a13c4-41d8-4e19-bb24-fcc2629f0697> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://carriebradshawlied.com/2022/07/mackenzie-childs-annual-barn-sale.html | 2024-04-17T10:34:03Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296817146.37/warc/CC-MAIN-20240417075330-20240417105330-00667.warc.gz | en | 0.967736 | 96 |
This information given to you by your provider is incredibly confusing.
Let’s back up the truck a minute.
I was talking to a client who had just had prolapse surgery. And it sounds like she got the same advice she would have gotten if she were postpartum and had prolapse.
Vague and confusing. Leave her frozen, because she doesn’t want to mess up anything.
Here is what we know for sure: at 6 weeks, we generally have about 75% soft tissue healing. But what does that actually mean?
Go for a swim?
Take a walk?
None of that is helpful because each of those things can be wildly different for different people.
They are all context dependent. An easy run will be very different if you’re dealing with a former collegiate runner than it will be if you’re talking to someone who hasn’t ran in 10 months.
As clients, we expect our providers to give us instructions because they are the medical experts! But quatifying “go for an easy run” is NOT their area of expertise. We think they have the exact criteria, but they don’t. This is where you need to seek advice from someone who understands dosing of exercise, progression of exercise, what other issues may be playing into the why behind their symptoms.
That’s the stuff that’s incredibly important but it’s not your OBGYNs job! That’s my job!
If you have questions that aren’t being answered by your OBGYN, that’s your cue to find someone who is knowledgeable about the sport you want to return to.
The confusion comes because you’re asking someone who isn’t an expert in this area. There isn’t a lot of research, just clinical guidance
You have to find a rehabilitation provider who understands the whole picture AND the sport you want to return to. | <urn:uuid:a4139771-99d7-4514-a2e9-f0243cd32458> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://carriepagliano.com/the-right-information-from-the-right-provider/ | 2024-04-17T09:17:17Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296817146.37/warc/CC-MAIN-20240417075330-20240417105330-00667.warc.gz | en | 0.975719 | 408 |

Casper People Allegedly More Educated Than Most in the US
This just in. You are smarter than you thought. A new ranking claims that the residents of Casper are more educated than most in America.
I found this on Neighborhood Scout. They have a lot of facts about Casper, but it's one that's in kind of small print that caught my eye.
The citizens of Casper are slightly better educated than the national average of 21.84% for all cities and towns, with 23.90% of adults in Casper having a bachelor's degree or advanced degree.
That inspired me to do some research (what us educated Casper people do sometimes). I began to dig and verify what Neighborhood Scout was saying, but had a hard time (what uneducated people like me do).
Maybe we're not on their map because our intelligence is too sophisticated. The truth is that we're not among the 150 most populated cities and that's why we're not covered. Yes, we are thankful we're not among the most populated.
US News and World Report does back up part of the Neighborhood Scout claim. They list Wyoming as the 15th most educated state in the US. When it comes to higher education specifically, the news for Wyoming gets even better as we're listed at #5.
My point to all this is next time you have a friend from somewhere else in America give you a hard time about being a Wyoming country bumpkin, you show them this and tell them to respect the smarts cause we have them by the bushel full. | <urn:uuid:9eae291f-501a-4ff1-9218-1e6ef92019e2> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://caspercowboy.com/casper-people-allegedly-more-educated-than-most-in-the-us/ | 2024-04-17T09:49:02Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296817146.37/warc/CC-MAIN-20240417075330-20240417105330-00667.warc.gz | en | 0.978289 | 321 |

CONNECT WITH GOD!
There is no more wonderful place for a believer to be than in the presence of Jesus Christ! That is precisely the presence that the visitors of the Christian Church Of All Nations – Thessalonica yearn for and find!
“CONNECT WITH GOD!” was the title of the sermon preached by the woman of God Evgenia during the service. She began by saying that most of us are too busy with our activities and responsibilities in our daily lives, and we do not take the necessary time for prayer and reading the Bible. Thus, many Christians are unable to hear or discern the voice of God within them, because they lack a real connection with God, whereas the spirit of man clearly needs prayer and reading of His Word.
Inevitably, for a believer who is not connected with God, grumbling, complaining, and not finding direction in life begins. Afflictions actually prevail. Concerning this, however, the Word of God states that afflictions are meant for our spiritual benefit so that we may learn to pray the more!
A powerful example of a Christian who was truly connected with God was Prophet Elijah. The Prophetess read from 1 Kings 18:25-26, 29, 36-39 to biblically support her point and to further emphasise it at the same time. It was the close relationship the Prophet had with the Lord that actually caused fire to fall from Heaven and consume the burnt offering that God’s servant had prepared. Thanks to Elijah’s connection with God, the entire people of Israel turned their hearts back to their Creator. “If Elijah was not truly connected to God, would this miracle have happened?” the Prophetess concluded.
She then talked about Christians who claim that they do not pray because the Lord already knows their needs. Her response was that the heroes of faith in the Bible also prayed to the Lord, thus making it evident that prayer is a necessary ingredient for an intimate communication with Him.
Another category of the children of God are those who pray, God does not answer in their own time, and they become disheartened and give up. Nevertheless, Apostle Paul’s perseverance in praying until he received an answer from the Lord, as it is written in Corinthians 2:12:7-9, shows us that if an answer is not given for the first prayer nor to the second, we must hold on and hold out till we receive an answer! Because God’s response is not for those who hurry, but for those who endure!
Later, to erase any trace of doubt, the woman of God read from Psalms 145:18-19: “The Lord is near to all who call on him, to all who call on him in truth. He fulfils the desires of those who fear him; he hears their cry and saves them.” In other words, God is willing to fulfil the desires of our hearts, but our role is to abstain from sin. Sin creates a wall between us and God, which means that we turn away from Him, and then we allow satan to enter us and drive us to do things that are contrary to the Word of God.
In closing, the woman of God clarified that life is a battlefield and the sooner we understand this, the wiser we will be, and this wisdom can be drawn from the Word of God. If you have His Word in your heart, then you will hear God’s voice clearer! It is therefore time to connect with God and fight the good fight of faith with Him!
THE DOCTORS TOLD HER SHE WOULD NEVER WALK AGAIN, BUT JESUS CHRIST HAD OTHER PLANS!
“You’re healed! Through your faith, the Lord spoke to me and told me: “This woman has a lot of faith!” You are healed! Get up and walk in the name of Jesus Christ! You will see that every day you will get better and better!” These were the prophetic words that Mrs. Ernestina from England received, as she came to the Christian Church Of All Nations – Thessalonica, and was prayed over by Prophetess Evgenia in the prayer line, having faith that moves mountains!
Mrs. Ernestina mentioned that she suffered from diabetes mellitus. In fact, because of diabetes mellitus, she had a kidney transplant in 2020. In 2021, she was tested positive for Covid-19. The virus seized her life as she was in a coma for 3 whole months, and at the same time, she was facing serious problems with her lungs. On top of that, she had clots in her lungs, stones and arthritis.
Being in a critical condition she almost died twice, because of the infections. The doctors gave her antibiotics, however, it was only through prayer that God was able to keep her alive. Death was certain, however, Jesus Christ had not said His final word.
Because of all the above, for 2 years she had mobility problems, as she had dislocation in her leg and shoulder. The nerves that ended up to her toes were not functioning. She could not walk or talk. It was through the prayers to God Almighty that she was able to speak again, but the mobility problem she had could not be healed according to the doctors.
The hopes of the doctors were extinguished when it came to Mrs. Ernestina’s life. They were so sure that her health condition is irreversable that they called her relatives to bid her farewell because they saw absolutely no hope in her case. Yet, for the Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, in the midst of sickness there is hope! Jesus Christ is the hope! He is the Saviour of all the world!
She pointed out that just after the prayer she received from Prophetess Evgenia, she started feeling her foot, a thing that the doctors assured her she would never feel again! The changes in her body started right after the prayer and she is certain that God will complete His work by giving her total healing! Now, full of joy, hope, relief and gratitude, she promised God Almighty that she would continue to walk in faith and come to give her testimony for the glory of God!
When others say, “The end has come”, Christians say, “The best is yet to come”. When others say, “There’s no way”, Christians say, “God will make a way where there seems to be no way”. When others say, “I’m finished”, Christians say, “My problem is finished” because of what Jesus declared on the Cross!
ONE WORD BROUGHT FULL RESTORATION AND FREEDOM!
After being diagnosed with sickle cell anemia, Mrs. Marcelina has been constantly ill since birth. The nature of her illness made her a frequent visitor to various hospitals, depriving her of the joy of normal life. As if the fact that she was suffering from this disease was not enough, members of her family also seemed to pass on the same illnesses from generation to generation. Desperate for help and believing that Jesus Christ was, is and will be the Master Healer, she came to the Christian Church Of All Nations – Thessalonica from the UK, seeking a touch from God that would break the curse of illness in the family.
Holding pictures of sick family members, she was privileged to join the prayer line. By God’s grace, she not only received prayer, but was given a prophetic Word through the man of God Kastriot: “God loves you very much, you have a blessed family. From today, whatever satan stole from your life, God will give it back and you will all come here to give your testimony!”
After the service, Mrs. Marcelina confirmed that the prophecy she received was indeed true. She stated that the family’s health was fraught with chronic illnesses such as diabetes or sickle cell anemia, and it had become normal to hear that a loved one had died from the disease. Wanting to expose the destruction satan had caused in her family’s life, she mentioned that her father, brother, and nephews had died of various diseases.
In addition, regular doctor’s appointments and the burden of continual payment for treatments and medication caused financial problems. The family business was also not doing well and family members’ relationships were ruptured. She stated that there were some family members with whom she had not spoken for more than 7 years, which saddened her. She had been praying for reconciliation to come to the family and upon hearing the prophecy she felt that her prayer had now been answered!
Firmly believing that God had delivered her and her family, she promised to serve God all her life!
As genuine believers, when our problems seem to be unyielding in our prayers, fasts and efforts, it is up to us to overcome our fears, anxiety and worry, leaving all our problems in God’s hands; for, If an answer is not given for the first prayer nor to the second, we must hold on and hold out till we receive an answer!
It is impossible for people to break the bondages in their lives, but everything is possible to God! Bring your burdens, your problems, your sickness to Jesus, as the people in the pictures below did, and He will heal you and give you rest, because He was, is and will be our Healer and our Deliverer! | <urn:uuid:38e0a8e8-4c1f-4ef9-951d-0eb296da7aea> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://ccoan.com/connect-with-god/ | 2024-04-17T09:56:35Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296817146.37/warc/CC-MAIN-20240417075330-20240417105330-00667.warc.gz | en | 0.984326 | 1,980 |

funnels when I go into develop a funnel you can see I can easily construct a funnel it shows the funnel on the left basically what’s happening the actions of the funnel on the left right here and after that you can do all examples with automation a b testing see statistics see sales leads that came through here I ‘d really enjoy that you might set due date settings where you can say hey I’m this is a sale right this is going to be over in a couple of days and so I desire this funnel to end and then send them elsewhere at the end or something like that so I’m here within the actual editor and it’s extremely similar to a lot of various drag and drop editors that I have actually encountered which is excellent because if you’ve been in the company or the drag and drop editor company for a while you can quickly select up on how all of it works you can see it’s got columns it’s got areas you produce a section and after that inside of that correction you create a row and after that within those rows you include all these various aspects right here you can see different things like kinds and text and images and things like that now a couple things that I actually like about this you can see there’s a back button I like having a back button where I can mess up and quickly repair exactly what I did it also has a mobile and a desktop version that I can quickly switch in between and when I go within each element I can easily check or uncheck desktop or mobile all right now when I enter into my e-mails the primary email area does not have so I utilize activecampaign for my primary email and you can see right
here I can I can produce email series I can create hold-ups where the emails will head out one after the other and it can be sent at specific times you can have it not send on specific days I Actually Love In Fact that it’s all simply sitting here on the right so I can create my e-mail develop all the guidelines actually quickly that accompany that email it also has all sort of personalization alternatives that you can add right here so you can tag contact with different things and after that I can customize my email you can see in in this kind of things right here now a minimum of within the email area it’s nothing like activecampaign where there’s simply massive amounts of Automation and guidelines and really you can make this thing as made complex as you might potentially want however for a vast majority of companies where we wish to capture an email we wish to send out a sequence and after that move them maybe into another series and then put them in list genuine things like that like normally my marketing it can do all that really easily and and these are honestly the actually important things that you can do right here on the right now you can also develop a blog site directly inside it you can see right here I made this in about 5 minutes I had chat GPT compose the actual short article for me and then it just has a template a bunch of different design templates that you can keep up and produce blogs now I’ll be truthful I typically build blogs within WordPress since of plugins and things like that however if if your blog isn’t going to be your primary stream of income you just desire to have a Blog site as part
of your organization extremely very easy to utilize and develop post I ought to pause an ad that I will leave an affiliate link down listed below that you can click and register for system.io at any time as you’re enjoying this video yes it’s an affiliate link yes that’s how this channel earns money yes it’s still my truthful viewpoint I’ll be truthful I got really excited when I saw they had a whole automations Tab and they have actually workflow so you can visit and you can produce workflows this is an easy one I’m revealing you on here but basically what a workflow is is you can produce triggers and you can produce actions so you say hey when this occurs for example when somebody purchases a course or registers for a webinar or register for my complimentary lead magnet right all these things are actions that individuals can do and when they do that you can have it send them through these workflows you can say hey enlist them in this course and then subscribe them to this e-mail campaign so I can provide a totally free course give them the course provide the e-mail project that I start dripping out to possibly upsell them to a few of my higher ticket items and then I can do a split also so I can say hi did the contact do this did they click a link in the email did they you understand do they live here have they bought anything from me before you can divide based on all those things and you can really send them in
different instructions and have various things take place to different contacts depending on where they’re at in your sales process honestly these automations are really cool extremely exciting I think they’re extremely effective and I was viewing them all and they all appear to operate in all my tests I looked at some evaluations and things like that they all seem to be working well really a huge fan of the automations and I think the reason they’re so effective is because you can run everything within systems so you can have your course hosted in here you can run your webinar inside of here you can run your all of your e-mail marketing through here and so everything’s able to work truly effortlessly with each of the contacts as they move through your sales procedure and the last thing I want to look at is you can in fact create courses directly inside of it and you can see right here this is what the customer would see I produced a fast course simply to get a concept of what my customers are seeing you can add videos you can add headings it does track them as they go through the course you can see It’ll show where they go you can have multiple modules and numerous lectures inside of each module then you can add text and links and type of summaries under it so I use thinkific for my courses usually think about it’s got a million choices right it’s like all it’s constructed around but if you wish to have the ability to simply produce a course have modules assist have individuals be able to you understand sign up simple track what they’re doing through it get access to video and text material this is terrific can completely do it and work seamlessly inside of every other part of your organization now going over the total UI I truly enjoyed the UI the one Downer I would say sometimes it appears to take a couple of actions to do things that I wouldn’t necessarily desire to take a few actions so you kind of need to go in multiple times to see post and after that you can see each post gets triggered or shut off individually often I would wish to kind of mass edit and mass do things like that however besides a couple of additional actions sometimes it’s an extremely easy to utilize layout you can see right here I can always figure out how to like create things and how to you understand whatever simply looks truly easy and really easy to use so if you’re a beginner and you’re sort of overwhelmed a great deal of times by innovation
I think it’s a truly well built for that couple other things that I dug a little deeper into I went to trustpilot to see how their clients feel about them wow 4.9 out of 5 2000 reviews they seem to be doing extremely well and it seems that the clients are really pleased with them I have not had any reliability issues and as I scroll through a great deal of these it does not look like there’s any reliability issues as far as servers decreasing things not working the method they’re supposed to everything appears to work precisely like it’s expected to for me and it appears like a great deal of other individuals too now I also ran it through a page speed test so many people understand if you’re running ads you’ve got article things like that you desire very fast Pages or you’re going to see problems you can see right here it’s not ideal however I would state it’s definitely sufficient so it got a B I ran a couple blog site posts through it 88 out of 100 nobody gets 100 on these things but I believe that’s fast enough that you can run advertisements to it you can do everything you require to and you’re not going to have any significant speed concerns the entire page just took a couple seconds to load however it actually packed in a clever method which suggests that it filled enough that users might start seeing and communicating with the page in less than a second which is what you want so you’re most likely taking a look at this like I was and saying how is all of this being offered totally free this is a pretty extreme robust software for them to do and I wondered that too you can see right here taking a look at their prices they have a totally free strategy and they have a couple of really budget plan friendly strategies right here 27 a month 47 a month with their most expensive strategy being 97 a month now you can see right here all the stuff that we showed you on here from e-mails to funnels to blogs courses all of that is available on that absolutely complimentary Pam on the far left right here the only time you begin to see where those paid plans begin to come into result is you can see when you when you start to grow your business you desire more automation guidelines you desire more than one workflow right you desire to have the ability to use a lot of different tags and email projects and things like that that’s when you begin to see when you begin to pay which is great because

But if we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and cleanse us from everything we’ve done wrong. 1 John 1:9
How does this passage sit with you? Is it hopeful and freeing? Is it weighted down with shame and baggage? Does it resonate in the soul or simply come up blank with any meaning? Our past shapes our future. For those that grew up in heavy-handed, fiery Christianity, this passage may feel like a sword that was used to assault you. For those that have the fortitude to see that their living isn’t perfect (sinful), this is a passage of immense hope—God will cleanse, or heal, us from that which we have done!
Fr. Richard Rohr once made a bold statement about the 12 Steps of the recovery community. He said, in effect, that the greatest contribution to spirituality in the 20th century are the 12 steps. I would have to agree. Rooted firmly in the bible, the founders quickly realized that the principles worked, but too many were wounded or repellant of anything that sounded Christian. And so they made a simple model of how to awaken to God, free oneself from the past, make right that which you have wronged, and continue to maintain a healthy soul.
The 4th step is often daunting as we read, “Made a searching and fearless moral inventory of ourselves.” What does that mean? It means, we look into the mirror of the self. It means that we stop looking at the speck in another’s eye and deal with the plank in my own eye. It means to open the door to the moments of imperfection in order to release the residual residue of shame, guilt, remorse and pain.
Those who walk this daring road often speak of the pain that is first experienced followed closely by the profound freedom that is felt. There is a lightness to life, to memory and to the future. This is the equivalent of living reflectively and once the step is done, we don’t stay there. Instead, we move forward to true freedom. The next 3 steps are vital…
Step 5: Admitted to God, to ourselves, and to another human being the exact nature of our wrongs.
Step 6: Were entirely ready to have God remove all these defects of character.
Step 7: Humbly asked Him to remove our shortcomings.
This has worked not only in the last 100 years or so through the 12 steps, but since the beginning of this way of Jesus. The goal isn’t to beat up on oneself or wallow in self-pity; instead, it is to heal the past, let go of its power, and become open to a new future. Could you be so daring? | <urn:uuid:25f3b127-cb21-4b63-a816-0cb0d845a6e4> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://centralunionchurch.org/june-26-2019/ | 2024-04-17T09:09:11Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296817146.37/warc/CC-MAIN-20240417075330-20240417105330-00667.warc.gz | en | 0.971048 | 578 |
Parkinson's Clinic and Movement Disorders
Parkinson’s disease is a nervous system disorder that develops over time, impairs movement, and gradually eliminates motor skills. People with Parkinson’s can have a variety of symptoms including tremors, trouble walking, stiff limbs, and poor balance. Sometimes patients also lose facial expression and struggle with clear speech.
The Parkinson and other Movement Disorders Clinic of Centro Médico ABC is also a specialized center for the selection of candidates, operative management, and programming of the equipment in those patients with the option of surgical treatment. Functional neurosurgery, through the implantation of Deep Brain Stimulation or Pallidotomies, is an excellent tool for the treatment of Parkinson’s disease complications such as severe shortening in the action of medications or the existence of involuntary movements (dyskinesias) due to effect of antiparkinsonic drugs.
Since the late 1990s, the routine use of these neurosurgical techniques has significantly improved the quality of life of patients, improving the control of motor manifestations and optimizing the use of medications, in many cases with a significant reduction in doses. . These procedures require a timely review of each patient, not only from a neurological point of view; but also, with assessment of their affective and cognitive state with visits to neuropsychology and neuropsychiatry.
Our center has all the technical and human resources for this, as well as for the performance of surgical procedures and clinical follow-up, in fact, we are already the center of excellence in our country in this area.
The diagnosis of Parkinson’s disease requires a clinical construct, imaging studies, and other biomarkers.
At ABC Medical Center, we are prepared to serve you in out two Campuses 24/24h, 7 days a week. | <urn:uuid:9979f00e-7021-4d1c-9b06-29a4fc28dd97> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://centromedicoabc.com/en/neurological-center/parkinsons-clinic-and-movement-disorders/ | 2024-04-17T08:07:16Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296817146.37/warc/CC-MAIN-20240417075330-20240417105330-00667.warc.gz | en | 0.938517 | 370 |

According to industry experts, a typical residential roof\'s average lifespan is between 20 and 25 years.
However, this figure can fluctuate based on several factors like weather, maintenance, and the type of roofing materials used.
That being said, no roof lasts forever. So, how does one recognize the right time to replace and get a new roof before it begins causing trouble?
This article will guide you through key signs to look out for, to proactively decide on roof replacement.
Visible signs of damage to your roof are one of the most immediate indicators that you might need a new one.
Pay close attention to your shingles. If they\'re brittle, cracked, or curling at the edges, this could mean that they\'re nearing the end of their lifespan.
Shingle granules in the gutters are another sign of deterioration. These signs suggest that the shingles are no longer effectively protecting your home from the elements.
One of the most critical problems that homeowners can face is a leaky roof. If you\'re noticing dark spots or water stains on your ceiling, damp spots along your fireplace, or water dripping inside your home during rainstorms, you\'re dealing with a leak.
Over time, if left unaddressed, leaks can lead to significant damage to your home\'s interior, including mold and structural damage.
Moss or Algae Growth:
Although moss or algae on your roof may not be causing damage right now, it can be a precursor to problems.
In most California cities, moss or algae is not command because of the dry and sunny weather. However, due to recent climate changes, California is getting more rainy days in some areas, and moss or algae starts building up during long humid seasons.
Moss absorbs moisture, and damp conditions can cause the roofing material to degrade faster, leading to potential leaks. It can also lift shingles, allowing water to get underneath. If moss or algae growth is widespread, it\'s usually a sign that your roof is in a deteriorated state.
Age of the Roof – Maybe Time for A New Roof:
Age is another factor when considering the lifespan of your roof.
Most asphalt shingle roofs, the most common type in the U.S., last about 20-25 years.
If your roof has reached this age, consider its overall condition. If you notice signs of damage or decay, particularly if the roof has multiple layers of shingles installed, it may be time for a complete replacement.
However, we always recommend homeowners have a roof assessment to determine if the roof needs to be replaced.

Recent Weather Damage:
Certain weather conditions can significantly reduce the lifespan of your roof.
High wind speeds can lift shingles and even tear them away.
Hail can cause dents or even puncture your roofing materials.
If your home has recently survived a storm or extreme weather conditions, checking your roof for damages is crucial.
Changes in Energy Bills:
If you notice that your heating or cooling costs are suddenly increasing, it could be a sign that your roof is underperforming.
Roofs play a significant role in your home\'s insulation.
If the roof is damaged or aging, it may let out more heat during the winter or let in more heat during the summer, causing your HVAC system to work harder and increase your energy bills. Your roof could be the culprit if no other apparent reasons exist for the rise in energy costs,
Know The Signs
Knowing when to replace your roof is largely a matter of paying attention to signs – the physical condition of your roof, leakages, moss or algae growth, the roof\'s age, recent weather damages, and changes in your energy bills.
Being aware of these signs can help you anticipate the need for a new roof and avoid costly water damage and other issues.
Regular roof inspections are essential for catching these signs early.
If you\'re unsure about the condition of your roof, it might be time to call in a professional for an assessment before straight installing a new roof.
Proactive roof maintenance and replacement protect your home and contribute to its value, comfort, and energy efficiency.

In a world where waste management is becoming an increasingly pressing issue, every small act counts towards making a big difference. One such impactful action is donating gently used items. In Canada, where landfills are reaching capacity levels, donating items instead of discarding them can significantly alleviate the strain on our environment. Let’s delve into how donating gently used items can play a crucial role in reducing landfill use across the country.
Extending the Lifespan of Items:
When we donate gently used items such as clothing, furniture, electronics, and household goods, we give them a second lease on life. Instead of these items ending up in landfills, where they contribute to environmental pollution, they are reused and repurposed by individuals or organizations in need. By extending the lifespan of these items, we decrease the demand for new production, thereby reducing the environmental footprint associated with manufacturing processes.
Minimizing Waste Generation:
Every year, Canadians discard millions of tons of usable items, adding to the already overflowing landfills. By donating items that are still in good condition, we divert significant amounts of waste from ending up in landfills. This diversion not only reduces the volume of waste but also helps in conserving valuable landfill space for items that truly have no further use.
Promoting Sustainable Consumption:
Donating gently used items fosters a culture of sustainable consumption and mindful living. It encourages individuals to think twice before disposing of items that could still serve a purpose for others. Through donation, we promote the idea of reuse and sharing within our communities, ultimately contributing to a more sustainable and environmentally-conscious society.
Supporting Charitable Causes:
Many organizations across Canada rely on donated items to support their charitable initiatives. From thrift stores and shelters to community centers and nonprofit organizations, donated goods are often sold or distributed to generate funds or support programs for those in need. By donating, individuals not only reduce landfill waste but also contribute to valuable causes and support vulnerable communities.
Spread the word:
Is there a charity you believe should be featured on the CharityWishList.ca website but isn’t yet? Let them know about CharityWishList.ca and suggest they contact me through the website.
In Canada, the issue of landfill use and waste management requires collective action and individual responsibility. By choosing to donate gently used items instead of discarding them, we can make a meaningful impact on reducing landfill waste and conserving our environment. Every donation counts towards building a more sustainable future for generations to come. Let’s embrace the power of donation and work together to create a cleaner, greener Canada.

FRIDAY, Sept. 29, 2017 (HealthDay News) — If you like to hang out with friends, it might be due to the “love hormone” oxytocin, a new mouse study suggests.
Oxytocin promotes socialization by triggering pleasurable feelings when people get together, said Stanford University researchers.
“Our study reveals new insights about the brain circuitry behind social reward, the positive experience you often get when you run into an old friend or meet somebody you like,” said study senior author Dr. Robert Malenka. He’s associate chair of psychiatry and behavioral science at Stanford’s School of Medicine.
“The reward circuitry is crucial to our survival because it rewards us for doing things that have, during our evolutionary history, tended to enhance our survival, our reproduction and the survival of our resulting offspring,” he explained in a university news release.
For example, when you’re hungry, food tastes great, he pointed out. “When you’re thirsty, water is refreshing. Sex is great pretty much most of the time,” he added.
Hanging out with friends has historically conferred a survival advantage, too, by decreasing the odds of getting eaten by predators, increasing chances of finding a mate and maybe helping to learn where food and water are, Malenka said.
He and his colleagues conducted a series of lab experiments that examined oxycontin’s role in social behavior. Their findings were published Sept. 29 in the journal Science.
The findings could lead to new ways to help people who have difficulty socializing, including those with autism and schizophrenia, according to the researchers.
The American Psychological Association has more on oxytocin. | <urn:uuid:21c7f0f2-de5f-4d30-8b5b-75b5d1d99c00> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://cheapgenericsonline.com/your-sociability-may-hinge-on-love-hormone/ | 2024-04-17T09:35:14Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296817146.37/warc/CC-MAIN-20240417075330-20240417105330-00667.warc.gz | en | 0.950657 | 359 |

Getting paid as a freelancer is one of the most underappreciated business skills today. Marketing your business and delivering service to clients is a critical starting point. Yet, none matters unless you have a reliable, cost-effective way to get paid.
Using the tips revealed below, you’ll solve the problem of getting paid on time as a freelancer. Once you solve that issue, how much money can you realistically expect to earn? Like so much in business, the short answer is “it depends.” A few statistics illustrate what’s possible in freelancing today. But before that, let’s look at why freelancing is still so attractive.
How to Get Paid as a Freelancer In 2024:
- Why is freelancing still so attractive?
- Cash flow and payment challenges are hurting freelancers
- CheckYa’s solution for freelancers
- The top recommended payment methods for US freelancers
- The future is bright for freelancers
1. Why Is Freelancing Still So Attractive?
Freelancing is highly attractive because it can earn over $100,000 per year in a few years while enjoying a highly flexible skill. You can work from home and choose which clients to work with. Even better, freelancing is a low-cost online business to start. It’s possible to get started for $100 to $200 in your first year and only invest more as your business grows.
1.1. The State of Freelancing In The United States
Millions of Americans participate in the freelance or gig economy, according to 2021 data. The best freelancers can earn high incomes by specializing in fields that are in high demand.
- Popular Among The Educated
Freelancing is a popular choice for highly educated professionals. Just over half (51%) of American freelancers will have a post-graduate degree in 2021. These highly educated professionals are increasingly finding better opportunities to earn income flexibly outside of the corporate world.
- High Skill Freelancers Are In Demand
Business consulting, marketing, IT and programming are some of the most popular and well-paid freelance positions today. If you are interested in growing your freelance income quickly, focus on developing these skills since clients are already willing to pay high rates.
- More Freelancers Are Earning Over $100,000
According to a 2021 article in Yahoo Finance, 1 in 5 freelancers earn over $100,000 per year. In the United States, a $100,000 personal income puts you in the elite: only 16.5% of Americans earn that much. That said, relatively few freelancers achieved a six-figure income in the first year or two in business.
1.2. The State Of International Freelancing
You don’t have to live in the US to participate in today’s freelance boom. Freelancing is rapidly becoming a popular career choice in several other countries.
- British Freelancers Are Growing
There are approximately 2.2 million freelancers in the United Kingdom, according to IPSE. The top 5 freelance occupations account for 50% of all freelancers in the UK. These popular areas include the arts, managers, teachers, and technology professionals.
- Australian Freelancers Are Earning Higher Incomes
Many freelancers start their businesses because they want more flexibility and autonomy. However, Australian freelancers show that high incomes are possible! According to a research report commissioned by Edelman, 69% of Australian freelancers earned more than they did in traditional jobs within a year of starting their freelance business.
- Millions Are Freelancing In India
Freelancing is becoming more and more popular in India as well. The Times of India reports that many Indians turned to freelance in 2020 due to COVID lockdowns. In some sectors, like finance, Indian freelancers earn above-average freelance incomes. The Indian freelance economy is expected to generate an additional $20-$30 billion in revenue by 2025.
1.3. Remote Work Makes Freelancing Easier
In the past, finding the time to start a freelance business held back many people from starting their businesses. That barrier is slowly fading away thanks to the rise of remote work. So far, about 15% of US jobs offer remote work. In certain industries, like technology, remote work is even more popular. According to an estimate from Ladders, 25% of all professional jobs in the US will be remote by the end of 2022.
In practical terms, a full-time remote job makes it much easier to start or grow a freelance business on the side. Instead of spending 5-10 hours commuting to work each week, you could spend some or all of that time building a freelance business on the side! Running your freelance business while you still have a full-time job is one of the best ways to reduce risk as you build your freelance business expertise.
2. Cash Flow and Payment Challenges Are Hurting Freelancers
Running a freelance business offers a lot of benefits. However, there are also downsides. Getting paid as a freelancer can be difficult after you send your invoice to clients. A few of the top financial challenges for clients include:
- Irregular payments
In a salaried position, it’s easy to predict when you will get paid. Many companies pay staff every two weeks, making it very easy to plan your finances. Freelancers are in a different situation. You may send out several invoices this month and then wait weeks for the payment to come through. When fewer payments come in, you may have to use your savings or credit to keep paying your bills.
- Late payments
Failing to receive payments on time is another common pain point for freelancers. You might be counting on receiving your freelance income by the end of the month. Then, suddenly, a client tells you that their finance team is having some problems and will not send the payment on time. You can probably handle one delay, but your freelance life will become much more stressful if these delays become more common.
- High processing fees
Paying a large fee to receive your income is incredibly frustrating. High fees show up in several ways. Some payment methods, like wire transfers, impose a cost on the sender and another on the recipient. In other cases, payment methods are slow and time-consuming to work with, like receiving a check in the mail.
- Meeting tax requirements
Fulfilling your tax requirements like sales tax and income tax is another responsibility of freelancers. As a 9-5 employee, your employer handles all your tax obligations. As a freelancer, it is up to you to correctly determine how much tax to collect, hold that money and make your tax payments on time.
All of these challenges take time and expense to address. Some solutions can ease the financial pressure on your business, though!

3. CheckYa’s Solution For Freelancers
CheckYa’s payment solution is a great choice for freelance business owners for five reasons.
3.1. Get Paid Easily With A PayMe Page
Getting paid the first time is exciting when you first get started as a freelancer! Some freelancers aren’t sure how to make payments simple for their clients. That’s where the CheckYa PayMe Page comes in.
In just a few minutes, you can set up a PayMe page. Once it is set up, you can simply email the link to your clients. They just need to visit this page and enter their payment details whenever they need to pay you. No need to call a bank, write a check, or waste time with other complex payment systems.
3.2. Enhance Your Credibility With A Branded Payment Page
To see the value of a branded payment page, put yourself in your client’s shoes for a moment. You’ve discovered a great freelancer, and they are helping you to achieve your business goals.
Now you receive their invoice, including a link to a service you haven’t encountered before – CheckYa. If you’ve had a stressful day, you might not understand what to do with CheckYa if it is unclear how it relates to your freelancer. As a result, the client may put off paying their invoice until they figure out what to do.
Adding your branding to the payment page is a powerful way to prevent client confusion. With a branded payment page, the client will see your name and logo on the payment page. They will instantly understand that this payment page is specific to your business. Therefore, your clients will feel more comfortable making payments.
3.3. Earn More From Your Social Media Accounts
As a freelancer, social media can be a great source of new business opportunities. For example, you might have many followers on Instagram or Twitter. What if you get into a conversation with a potential client on social media? They might be excited to work with you.
With CheckYa, you can easily add a payment link to your social media profiles. That means clients can quickly pay you for your services. It will be easier to close more clients by simplifying your sales process.
3.4. No integration or technical set up required
Some payment methods require a lot of setups. For example, getting paid by wire transfer usually involves providing sensitive bank details to your client. In addition, some digital payment systems are complicated to set up.
CheckYa is different. It is designed to be simple and easy to use. Most CheckYa users can set up their accounts in minutes. There are no complicated settings to worry about. You enter a few details, get your payment link and send the payment page to your clients.
3.5. Send Digital Invoices To Clients

Are you new to sending invoices to clients? Don’t worry – use CheckYa’s free invoice template. It’s plug and play: fill in the blank fields and send it off to your client.
3.5.2. Split the transaction fee with your clients
When you receive payments through PayPal, there is a small transaction fee to pay. For example, a $500 payment might have a $15-$20 fee. The exact amount depends on whether you use Stripe or PayPal. With CheckYa, you have options. You can split the transaction fee with your client or ask clients to pay the entire transaction fee.
3.5.3. Send payment reminders to clients

4. The Top Recommended Payment Methods For US Freelancers
As your business grows, you will probably come across various payments. Some clients will have a corporate policy that dictates their payment method. Other clients, especially smaller companies, maybe more flexible and use whichever payment method you prefer.
To help you navigate the payment options, we’ve summarized the pros and cons of US-based freelancers’ most common payment methods. To add resilience to your business, get familiar with two or three payment methods so that you can easily work with many different clients.
Payment Method | Pros | Cons |
Check | High security: Paper is unhackable! Low cost: Most banks charge no (or very low) fees to deposit checks. Some banks have added digital check deposit features so you can deposit a check from your smartphone. | Slow: A check can take a week or longer to arrive in the mail. Potential for loss: It is easy to lose a check if you’re busy or under stress. Time-consuming: It is difficult for freelancers to automate check processing. Instead, you must manually record the check payment in your financial system. |
Bank Transfer (also known as ACH) | Familiar: Most larger companies have established processes to make this payment, so there is no learning curve. Low cost: There are usually no fees to receive a bank transfer. | Domestic focus: Bank transfers are most common for domestic transfers. Bank transfer payments may be difficult if you have clients in other countries. Security concerns: It is typically necessary to provide sensitive details like bank account numbers to accept a bank transfer. |
Stripe | Digital payment method: Stripe is one of the most popular digital payments for online purchases. Many people are familiar with Stripe. Supports credit cards: Your clients may want the option to pay you by credit card, and Stripe supports this option. Stripe analytics: Stripe offers reports and analytics that make it easy to track the payments you receive over time. | No invoice support: Stripe does not include the option to create and send invoices. Therefore, Stripe is not a full solution for freelancers. |
PayPal | Long-established digital payment platform: PayPal is one of the Internet’s first and best-known payment systems. Many people are comfortable making PayPal purchases. PayPal protection: PayPal offers protection for buyers. This capability can put clients at ease when they start working with you. | Limited customer service: Some users report that it is difficult to reach customer service in case of a problem. |
CheckYa | Earn more money: CheckYa allows you to pass the transaction fee to your clients. That means you can end up with more money in your account! Issue invoices: CheckYa has templates so you can create and send invoices. Branded payment page: CheckYa allows you to create a branded payment page so you can make a positive impression on clients. | Learning Curve: CheckYa is less well-known than some other payment options. As a result, your clients may have a small learning curve when they first use the service. |
As a freelancer, you might have a preferred payment method like CheckYa. However, it is critical to remain flexible when working with clients. If a client’s preferred payment method is time-consuming or expensive, you may want to consider adding a surcharge to the client’s invoice.
5. The Future Is Bright For Freelancers
Over the past few years, millions of businesses have become more flexible. That’s the positive legacy of the pandemic. There is now far more acceptance of remote work. In addition, several countries, including the United States, are currently struggling with a significant labour shortage. USA Today recently reported that the US unemployment rate has fallen to 3.6%. In addition, the professional and business services areas are adding jobs at a fast rate. That’s good news for freelancers.

Are you a business owner or freelancer in search of an efficient online booking system? If so, you’re in the right place. Whether you’re managing client meetings, photo shoots, or fitness sessions, streamlined scheduling is important.

Finally we’ll also introduce you to a free booking tool to help get you started. Let’s begin.

What’s an online booking system?
An online booking system is a digital tool that simplifies appointment scheduling. It helps with managing calendars and appointments automatically. Whether you run a salon, consultancy, or fitness studio, a booking system allows clients to easily book appointments. This frees up your time to focus on other parts of your business. Features like reminders and real-time updates help reduce no-shows and keep productivity high. Plus, many online booking systems offer payment integration tools, allowing you to accept payments for bookings easily. This means you can handle payments directly within the booking process, simplifying transactions for both you and your clients.
Key Features to Look for in a Booking System
When choosing a booking system for your freelance business, it’s important to consider the key features that will streamline your operations and enhance your productivity. Here are some essential features to look for:
- Appointment Scheduling:
Look for a system that offers customizable scheduling options to accommodate your varying availability. Whether you need to set specific time slots, block off certain hours, or offer flexible booking windows, a robust scheduling feature ensures that you can manage your appointments efficiently.
- Client Management:
Choose a booking system that allows for easy client management, enabling you to store and access client details, appointment history easily.
- Payment Integration:
Opt for a booking system that offers payment integration capabilities, allowing you to accept payments for bookings directly within the system. This not only simplifies the payment process for both you and your clients but also ensures secure transactions and reduces the risk of missed payments or late fees.
- Automated Reminders:
No-shows and missed appointments can be costly for freelancers. That’s why automated reminders are invaluable. Look for a booking system that offers automated reminder functionality, sending timely reminders to both freelancers and clients to reduce the likelihood of missed appointments.
Types of Booking Systems:
When it comes to managing bookings, there are several types of booking systems available to suit different needs and preferences. Let’s explore three main types:
1. Calendar-Based Systems:
Calendar-based systems are among the most common types of booking tools. These systems focus primarily on scheduling and organizing appointments using a calendar interface. Users can view their availability, book appointments, and receive reminders about upcoming events. Calendar-based systems are versatile and suitable for various industries and professions. For example, a freelance consultant can use a calendar-based system to schedule client meetings, while a salon owner can manage appointments for haircuts and spa services.
Example: Google Calendar is a widely used calendar-based system that allows users to create events, set reminders, and share schedules with others.
2. Industry-Specific Platforms:
Industry-specific booking platforms are tailored to meet the unique needs of particular industries or professions. These platforms offer specialized features and functionalities designed to streamline booking processes and address industry-specific challenges. For instance, booking systems for photographers may include options for scheduling photoshoots, managing photo galleries, and sending contracts to clients. Similarly, booking systems for fitness trainers may include features for scheduling training sessions, tracking client progress, and processing payments.

My daily walk with Nella is something I really look forward to.
I love to see the changing landscape as one season meets another.
Most of the land is used for grazing....sheep and cattle.
The meadow will soon be cut and stored for winter feed. I watched the meadow browns flit from grass to grass.
Hops grow in the hedgerow. This is one of the host plants for the Comma butterfly. They do well here.
During the winter months this area partially floods, and turns into a fairly large lake.
Eventually I reach the river. The water lily are in bloom. It is fairly shallow this year due to the dry Spring.
The water is clear...........I sometimes see the heron on this stretch.
The verges are left until September. They are full of wildflowers which is a wonderful food source for insects and birds.
Life changes, we change. I hope with all my heart that this area never changes, that it will always be protected. We need wide open spaces, places where we can breath and feel in touch with Mother Nature. Time to stand and take in all that surrounds us.......... | <urn:uuid:28e3745e-2da3-4cd7-960c-0536a98d63e3> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://cheryl-taketimetosmelltheflowers.blogspot.com/2011/07/my-daily-walk-with-nella.html | 2024-04-17T09:46:03Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296817146.37/warc/CC-MAIN-20240417075330-20240417105330-00667.warc.gz | en | 0.963195 | 245 |

The Health Informatics Learning Lab (HILL) is a dedicated lab and teaching space intended for research and collaboration for informatics students, researchers and faculty. The lab provides unique playground for informatics for students for their in-class and out-of-class projects and is located in Peterson Family Health Sciences Hall – the new home of the health informatics program.
The Machine Learning and Inference Laboratory (MLI) focuses on developing machine learning methods specifically designed to work with complex data found in medical, health care, and health applications in order to produce human-oriented results. Simply speaking, machine learning is about enabling intelligent systems to perform tasks that are too complex to be programmed. MLI is one of the longest existing labs focused on machine learning with history dating back to the early 1970s.
The Simulation Laboratory is an intricate part of student learning. It provides a foundation for critical reasoning, synthesis, and analysis of increasingly complex care scenarios. It is one of the School of Nursing’s most innovative features. The lab has hospital bed stations and exam areas, a birthing and pediatrics simulation area, a mock nurse’s station, and medication room. There are four video cameras per patient bed for performance recording and review during a debriefing period. It is here that George Mason’s nursing students can expand their knowledge and training by participating in administering health care in a hospital, before, and along with, their clinical experiences.
Our simulation lab is home to a variety of simulated (mannequin) patients ranging in age from infant to adult, male and female, and a pregnant mannequin that can deliver her baby. All of the mannequins, from low to high fidelity, have names, personal histories, and life-like features such as a palpable pulses, voices, blinking eyes, and a rising and falling chest to simulate breathing. These mannequins can be manipulated, using a computer and compressed air, to have physiologically accurate responses to the care provided by students. Additional equipment, such as IV pumps, EKG monitors, respiratory equipment, wound care equipment, an automated medication dispensing machine, and crash carts, add to the reality of the learning space. There also exists the ability to perform moulage, which gives select patients the ability to appear “more real.”
To facilitate the simulated learning environment, the Simulation Lab has an observation/control room with computers for every mannequin and two one-way mirrors that allow faculty to direct and evaluate student performance, without be directly involved. This allows the student to develop decision-making, prioritization, and communication skills without the comfort of an instructor. The lab is equipped with state-of-the-art, custom-designed audiovisual equipment used for both formative and evaluative learning. There is also a debriefing room, which is used to conduct reflective discussions and video review, using a Smartboard, following a simulated learning experience. This presents a realistic hospital in a simulated environment—a “Virtual Hospital”—in which students synthesize didactic and clinical knowledge as they transition into professional practice.
nursing students within the School of Nursing. Each skills lab houses a Smartboard, which is used to support and facilitate psychomotor learning. It is the hands-on experience in these labs that George Mason nursing students use to develop competencies in multiple simulated health care settings that cross the human life span.
Work in the Skills Laboratory is integrated throughout the traditional and accelerated Bachelor of Science in Nursing curriculum, beginning with Fundamental Basic Learning and Skills Training, in which students learn basic hygiene, mobility, feeding, and vital physiologic skills, and ending with the more advanced, high acuity physiologic skills. The graduate nursing program accesses the laboratories for the nurse practitioner students to learn and practice essential skills needed for the advanced practice of nursing.
The Department of Nutrition and Food Studies' new facilities in Peterson Hall include a state of the art 25 student capacity nutrition teaching kitchen. The kitchen is furnished with multiple food preparation stations allowing students to participate in cooking and other food preparation activities. Each station is equipped with stovetops, counter space, refrigeration, sinks, ovens, and tablets for viewing demonstrations and accessing the internet. The kitchen also provides a large demonstration platform with video recording capability allowing replay for each teaching kitchen station.
The Human Nutrition Assessment Lab was established in 2014 to create a teaching environment and to serve as a resource for clinical research investigations dedicated to human nutrition experimentation. The lab provides an active learning and research environment for students, faculty, and professionals to develop, evaluate and utilize both traditional and cutting-edge nutritional assessment tools among various populations at the local, state, national and international levels.
The lab offers anthropometric, biochemical, and dietary tools to enable complete nutritional analysis. Capabilities include a dual energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) densitometer (Horizon A, Hologic) and bioelectric impedance analysis monitor (SC-331S, Tanita), food models (Nasco) and dietary analysis software (Nutritionist Pro, Axxya Systems) as well as a metabolic cart (QuarkRMR, Cosmed) for resting energy expenditure using indirect calorimetry and technical resources for biochemistry analysis. Space is also available for obtaining ethical consent and for conducting surveys and counselling sessions.
The Nutrition and Food Studies wet lab is located in the Krasnow Institute for Advanced Study on the Fairfax Campus. It is a biosafety level 2 lab, providing space for cell culture work and basic food chemistry studies. The lab’s equipment includes three biosafety cabinets, a CO2 incubator, an inverted light microscope, a multi-mode plate reader, a spectrophotometer, and liquid nitrogen storage of cells. Shared laboratory facilities within the Krasnow Institute for Advanced Study provide the opportunity to perform molecular biology techniques and confocal microscopy.

Oh, you thought hanzi was bad?
Tangut script, also known as the Western Xia script (西夏文), is a hanzi-inspired artificial script designed by Yeli Renrong, a high-ranking official of the Western Xia dynasty.
There are roughly 5800 known chatacters, and the script was used between year 1036 and 1592.
It borrows a lot of the methods of stroke-writing from Chinese, and has a logographic script’s logic behind its characters.
Such as ‘mud’ being comprised of characters for water and soil:
Water (left component) + Soil (right) = Mud
The problem stems from the fact that every single one of them are way too complicated and look largely similar.
Sich as these characters that have the same exact components, but merely positioned differently to represent a similar, but different, word.
Toe (left) and finger (right).
Granted, Chinese is guilty of doing that too on characters like 陪 and 部， but at least the two characters represent very different things.
(Moreover, the left-side and right-side 阝s actually come from different characters, but that is a story for another day. Mentioned here: Dogged Hanzi Enjoyer’s answer to What’s the most effective way to learn Chinese radicals?)
The final nail in the coffin is the lack of diversity in general shape and stroke count.
They are all just really packed squares…
Unsurprisingly, the use of the script died out, since no one could make heads or tails of the thing (And the Mongol invasion definitely did not help). | <urn:uuid:741aaf40-66e4-4425-a646-2d02b85f98f5> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://chinesespeakingfans.com/is-there-any-writing-system-harder-than-hanzi.html | 2024-04-17T09:11:27Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296817146.37/warc/CC-MAIN-20240417075330-20240417105330-00667.warc.gz | en | 0.974718 | 359 |

China Business News reported on June 14 that after the problem of depositors’ withdrawal problems in Henan Rural Banks, some anxious depositors went to Henan, only to find that they had been forcibly assigned red codes in Zhengzhou and other places, and were then required to be quarantined locally. In fact, the health code of these people is green, and the nucleic acid test is negative. Some of these depositors suddenly turned red because they scanned a place code with the address “Southwest Exit of Zhengzhou Station”.
The Zhengzhou 12345 hotline responded to a reporter from Southern Metropolis on the evening of the 13th, saying: At present, there has been no notification that “all people who come to Zhengzhou from other places will go to the red code”. At present, low-risk areas to Zhengzhou only need a 48-hour nucleic acid test negative certificate, showing the itinerary code and health code. The official explanation is too different from the personal experience of these depositors, which enhances the suspense of the matter.

Before the official report of the institutional media, some self-media had disclosed that depositors were forcibly assigned red codes, but because this method is too bizarre and beyond the good understanding of ordinary people, many people still feel incredible. Now some reporters have interviewed the parties who have been assigned red codes and confirmed that this is true. On the other hand, what is the basis for this approach? Why is it targeting village bank depositors alone, and there is no reply from the relevant parties.
According to relevant national regulations, health codes are used for epidemic prevention and control. They are personal QR codes formed based on real data. The health codes have three colors, namely green code, yellow code and red code. The red code refers to Persons with positive nucleic acid test, confirmed cases, asymptomatic infections, suspected cases, close contacts, sub-close contacts, and those who have traveled and lived in medium and high-risk areas in China in the past 14 days.
In the implementation of epidemic prevention policies in Shanghai and other places, the scope of red code personnel will be further refined. For example, on April 26 this year, the deputy director of Shanghai Big Data Center explained the composition of red code objects, which are the following five categories. Personnel: First, those who were initially screened positive and mixed positive; second, confirmed cases, asymptomatic infections, and suspected cases; third, close contacts; Wait.
However, comparing the red codes given to the depositors of village and town banks in Zhengzhou, Henan and other places, many doubts can be found. Those who have been assigned the red code have never been to Henan in the past 14 days, the health code is green, and the itinerary code does not contain stars. Pop-up warning: “Henan Province has positioned your health risk level as high, and the health report date is 2022-6-11.”
Itinerary code display of some depositors
These people were strangely given red codes, which brought very direct consequences. They couldn’t go to the supermarket, the shops were not allowed to enter, and even the barber shop refused, and their daily life was completely disrupted. What’s more troublesome is that these depositors who have been assigned red codes cannot decode them in the place of their household registration. The red codes are assigned by Henan Province, and other regions have no right to eliminate them. Those who were given red codes after arriving in Henan were asked to either return or quarantine on site for 14 days.
So far, neither the Henan Province or Zhengzhou City Epidemic Prevention and Control Command, nor the department responsible for the disposal of village banks have responded to this matter, and the parties can only infer from the same identity they share – the depositors of village banks – who have been assigned the red code. The motive is to use the health code as a tool and use the epidemic prevention and control as an excuse to limit these depositors outside Henan Province to prevent rights protection from expanding their negative impact.
If the current report is true, this practice of assigning red codes has nothing to do with epidemic prevention and control, but under the banner of epidemic prevention and control, it has already caused extremely serious harm to epidemic prevention and control. One is that it disrupts the code assignment rules and uses the red code for other purposes than epidemic prevention, and this purpose is likely to be out of reach. The second is that if this extreme approach cannot be corrected, the health code red code and even the entire health code system will lose credibility.

In other words, if you put aside the only coding condition for epidemic prevention and control, Henan’s controversial practice has made a very bad start. The code assignment rule is to provide the basis for accurate epidemic prevention, but if the red code is used for other social governance goals, and the use of personal information and privacy transferred by the public to epidemic prevention to create an electronic fence, this not only breaks through the legitimacy of epidemic prevention, but also creates an electronic fence. There are also legal issues.
Except for Zhengzhou 12345, relevant parties should not keep silent about the questioned red code incident, because no one can afford to disrupt the overall situation of epidemic prevention. A few days ago, the State Council warned about the excessive epidemic prevention practices of the three provinces of Anhui, Hebei and Shaanxi, and warned against the increased epidemic prevention chaos. However, it is suspected that the red code is forcibly assigned to a specific group of people. In fact, it goes beyond the meaning of layer-by-layer coding, and advances to a more unbearable level, and there must be definite clarification.
Therefore, according to the caliber of Zhengzhou 12345, whether the issue of the red code is a “misunderstanding” of the depositors of the village and township banks, or some loopholes in some places and departments, it is worth a serious investigation to get to the bottom of it. If it is a “misunderstanding”, then a detailed explanation should be given to save the parties from troubles as soon as possible; if it is not a unified deployment, it cannot be a system error, so people must be held accountable to save the public image of Henan’s epidemic prevention. | <urn:uuid:b2ee1df7-3582-4781-a357-c571178a94c4> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://chinesestories.net/henan-rural-bank-depositors-were-forcibly-assigned-red-codes-when-defending-their-rights-can-health-codes-still-be-used-in-this-way/ | 2024-04-17T10:07:32Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296817146.37/warc/CC-MAIN-20240417075330-20240417105330-00667.warc.gz | en | 0.957568 | 1,383 |
In China’s feudal society, the period marked as “the end” by the dynasty was a disastrous time for the common people to suffer. This was the case in the late Han and Three Kingdoms periods, the late Tang, song, yuan, Ming and Qing Dynasties.
The sudden fall of a big tree is nothing more than the sudden destruction of external forces or the gradual decay of the interior. However, the collapse of a huge Dynasty was usually caused by internal causes, which came to an end in the last years of the Eastern Han Dynasty: first, natural disasters were frequent, and the people were unable to make a living; Second, officials are greedy and corrupt; Third, the crafty and the deceitful hold power, and the tiger and the wolf are in power; Fourth, evil deeds are rampant and dark. Then, yellow scarves are everywhere, thousands of miles away, princes are flocking, and the chaotic times are bustling and contending; Then, the Three Kingdoms stood apart and fought for more than a hundred years.
“The thief ministers held the power of the state, killed the Lord and destroyed Yujing. They swayed over the emperor’s foundation, and the ancestral temple was burnt. They moved westward, crying and walking. They looked at the city of Los Angeles and felt sad for the Weizi.” These are the last eight lines of Cao Cao’s poem Xielu, which describes the scene of emperor DongZhuo threatening to move westward to Chang’an and incinerate Luoyang.
People used to divide the Han Dynasty into Western Han Dynasty and Eastern Han Dynasty because of the geographical location of its capital. From the time when liuxiuding, Emperor Guangwu of the Han Dynasty, was the capital of Luoyang, to the time of the Three Kingdoms, it had a business history of more than 200 years. The scale of Huagong Hongdian, fangyuanxiuyuan, busy streets and liangsihuaxuan is no less than that of Chang’an. In the Fu on two capitals written by Zhang Heng of Jin Dynasty, he praised the magnificence of Luoyang in those years. But Dong Zhuo’s fire at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty made Luoyang, the most popular area in a country, a metropolis with hundreds of thousands of people, leaving only hundreds of families. How sad!
Where there is division, there must be war, and where there is war, there must be dead. According to Qian Mu’s outline of national history, “when Shu died, there were 280000 households, 940000 mouths, and 102000 officers and men with internal armour, accounting for one ninth of the total. When Wu died, there were 530000 households, 2300000 mouths, 230000 internal soldiers, accounting for one tenth of the total, 32000 officials, and 5000 harem palaces. When Wei and Ping Shu, there were 663423 mouths, 4432881 mouths. The total of the Three Kingdoms was about, households, 1473423 mouths, 7672881.” Qian Mu said, “as far as the whole history (referring to the whole history of China) is concerned, the registered permanent residence is no less than the time. Generally, it is the number of Nanyang and Runan counties in the Han Dynasty. This is the case in the late seasons of the Three Kingdoms. You can imagine when the chaos was blazing.”
In a poem entitled “Artemisia in”, Cao Cao described the tragic scene in the Central Plains at that time: “white bones are exposed in the wild, and there is no Rooster crowing for thousands of miles. The living people have one hundred relics, and the heart is broken when they read it.”
More than once in history, there has been a great regression of barbaric extinction of civilization. DongZhuo moved his capital to Chang’an and burned Luoyang, which is a very typical case. “The fire was burning in the sky, black smoke spread on the ground, and there were no chickens, dogs or people in twoorthree miles.” this fire may be a little worse than the fire that Xiang Yu, who had been in a hurry in the late Qin Dynasty, set on fire in Afang palace for three months, but it was even more brutal. DongZhuo killed the rich and relocated the poor. The rich died of non crime, and the poor died on the way. Even those who survived, they could not escape the ravaged and trampled army of tigers and wolves. As a result, Heluo was covered with scorched earth, chixian county was thousands of miles away, razed to the ground, and never recovered.
No matter Huang Jin or Dong Zhuo, all grass-roots people who come from a low level of civilization and poor material conditions will be merciless to the cities they trample on once the leather whip in the hands of herdsmen is replaced by a gun rod and the hoe in the hands of farmers is replaced by a printed handle. Trampling, destroying, burning and destroying are the only ways for them to vent their hatred. Especially when they have the power of life and death, the power of domineering, the ease of venting their sexual desires, and the ease of collecting gold and silver, they will never be polite or humble.
There is always a collision or even war between good and evil in the privacy of everyone’s soul. Good can control evil and become a normal social person; If the good cannot restrain the evil, it will become more and more intense as the cancer cells spread. However, the society can not restrain the spread of evil virus. The evil of individuals will naturally develop into a group evil, and the group evil will be manipulated by ruffian pioneers with low intelligence, low literacy and low rationality, which will inevitably be an uncontrollable human tragedy.
The greatest evil of mankind is massacre. In China’s recorded history, there have been murders between countries, but more often within a country, this group and that group, this party and that party, this army and that army kill each other, and those who kill with this kind of internal strife are even more bloody and cruel. When the ruler kills his subjects, the rebels kill the emperor, and suppress the uprising, he will kill all the people, wipe out the government, and eliminate the root causes. As for the princes and concubines, the mutual murders in the palace and outside the palace, and the civil war among warlords, courtiers and generals, their heads are rolling, and the blood is stained with the sun, which has become a dark battlefield. None of the nine families involved were spared. Innocent people were killed by the sword. Those murderous demons killed their eyes and brought disaster to the people. They were like cutting crops and killing generals. Blood flowed with pestles and bodies were everywhere.
Every retrogression in the history of Chinese civilization is a “masterpiece” made by these “brave men” who are destructive, vindictive and never soft hearted in doing evil.
In 263 A.D., Shu died, in 264 A.D., Wei died, and in 265 A.D., Sima Yan called the emperor Jin. The central plains were unified, and the people finally got rid of the shadow of war. In 280 ad, the first year of Taikang in the Western Jin Dynasty, Wu died and the country was unified. At this time, the total population of China was 16million, which was almost the same as that of Shanghai and Beijing. In 156 ad, Emperor Huan of the Eastern Han Dynasty lived for two years, and the total population of the country had reached 50million. In other words, after more than 100 years of fighting, only one third of the population is left!
The life of the Chinese people is like a mole ant. Tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands of people are often killed, trapped, exiled, and treated as political victims. With a stroke of pen, people who die do not even blink an eye. Don’t say fair trial, not even the condemnation of conscience. After it becomes history, one line and two lines of words will be used to understate it.
As a result, people have become accustomed to each other. In China’s long feudal society, the value of people is insignificant in the eyes of those who hold power. Even today, not all people know how to respect people’s basic rights. Both those who treat people as human beings and those who are treated as human beings do not think it is abnormal that people are so insecure. Don’t you see that during the ten years of turmoil, so many powerful and important people were locked up in cowsheds by the rebels at random and did their best to humiliate them? Who ever said “no” and dared not submit? This is the result of the subtle influence of this eternal poison. | <urn:uuid:691417fc-0616-47a9-a60d-63c731736572> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://chinesestories.net/the-three-kingdoms-are-a-great-retrogression-of-civilization-how-many-people-died-in-the-war/ | 2024-04-17T08:37:48Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296817146.37/warc/CC-MAIN-20240417075330-20240417105330-00667.warc.gz | en | 0.970323 | 1,894 |
Ok,Richard said he wished I would remember where to get the 12 1/2 Writing Rules poster and I never remembered. But I did go on a search and found it again. Go to this poster site (allposters.com)and you can order it for $12.99 (18 X 24)
In fact there are a lot of cool posters at this site! I was looking at the punctuation one, the one about burning books (you don't have to burn books to destroy a culture--just don't read them--or something like that.)
That reminds me, did you have posters on your wall as a kid or a college student? I did! (ha, you knew it.) It was cheap and kitschy art. Because I was an elementary education major, I also made my share of posters and bulletin boards.
In college the guy I was dating from another university (I married this guy) bought me this huge poster of Snoopy for Valentine's Day instead of a card (or it was his creative card.) I loved Peanuts, particularly Snoopy. One of the things I wanted to be when I grew up was a cartoonist. I still collect cartoons and cartoon books. Anyway, I still have this poster. It is in my basement in a dark corner. I need to go get it and put it up again. It is now vintage! I also have a poster of the Gone with the Wind movie.Also given to me by my now-husband-then-boyfriend.Also in college.Also, vintage, though then it was a new copy.
I have a page ripped from a magazine that should be a poster. Monica Sheehan is an author/artist who is the 11th of 12 kids in an Irish/Catholic family and she's the artist/writer of this page. She has books, but I never have read/looked at them. Maybe I should. She grew up funny, but she jokes(but it's no joke) in this bio I've linked: "For breakfast,I have a cup of coffee and two cigarettes. I stare out the window just long enough to get an anxiety attack. "
But you would never know any of this anxiety from this page I ripped from Real Simple magazine. (Love that magazine, by the way.)On this page (the last page) she has 12 drawings of a woman doing things that essentially spell out the title: Be Happy.Things like "Read Books. Face Your Fears. Do Things You are Good At." So simple. Things we skip doing everyday because we are so uptight, anxiety-ridden/fearful and full of Puritan ethics (and don't think I throw Puritan ethics out the window or look down on them--I don't,)we can't do something creative or fun or nice for ourselves. Yet we strive to "be happy." But we do forget to laugh at ourselves and have fun because of "all the starving kids in China." (My starving kid in China whom I ate for I named Chao,and he said it was ok not to eat the canned asparagus because he didn't want it either.)
We forget to do the things that we really are good at. We need to know what we are good at and do it our way. (The way God designed us to operate.)
One of my four boys recently said, "Well, I can't do that for a job;that's something I do for fun and a hobby." Whoever made up the rule that a job had to be tortuous or "not fun?!" Ok, after I bit off my tongue and then sat on my hands to keep from slapping the sense back into him,I, Queen Mother of the Boys, granted him permission to go after a career that might feel like a hobby because it is so insanely fun.(Just get paid for it and not live off me. ha)
Someone said to me one time, "You read books? And get paid to do it??" (gasping) "Man, I would love a job like that!"
Well, duh, me, too. I worked hard to get to the place where I'd not only get a free book, but would get paid to read it.(Granted, I didn't get paid a lot.) It's not an easy road just because you like to do it. You have to choose happiness, but that doesn't mean it is won easily.
And yes, even in jobs that we love and it feels as if you would pay to do the job, not someone pay you, even then, we have days that feel like work. But what's that old saying? Something about when doing your hobby and having frustrations, it's still better than working!
Going back to Stephen King's quote from yesterday, somehow you need to be doing the thing you're given to do--if you are paid for it or not. And don't ever say to me, "Oh, yeah, I could write if I just had time." You make time, make choices every day. If you should be writing, make priorities. In Delia's blog today, Camy Tang talks about this very thing. Hop over to Gatorskunkz and Mudcats and read how Camy protected her creative time.
If you could do anything, and get paid to do it, what (specifically) would it be? If it is writing books, what kinds of books? Then, do a little of that everyday. If you look over at Bonnie Bruno's site, you know what I mean about finding the joy in what you do.
(Yes, leave a comment about what you would love to do and how you're making steps to do it.) | <urn:uuid:768d9eaf-ecbb-4c84-8f8e-0cf621ba12ac> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://christianbookscout.blogspot.com/2007/09/where-to-get-poster.html | 2024-04-17T09:08:46Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296817146.37/warc/CC-MAIN-20240417075330-20240417105330-00667.warc.gz | en | 0.98246 | 1,181 |
You came be too careful what you say to the press. The previous day I had been interviewed by an Oslo daily and had even had my picture taken. It must have gone to my head and led to some unguarded language, for the accusing headline duly appeared: EVANGELICAL VISITOR OPEN TO OTHER POINTS OF VIEW. Methought how fortunate it was that few of my friends knew Norwegian; my evident lapse into a frightful tolerance might never be known Less selfish thoughts finally prevailed: let this, then, be an awful warning to posterity and all others interested.
Norway I found full of surprises. Here Honest to God is regarded as a curiosity piece and nothing more. The theological professors with whom I met were genuinely astonished to hear that John Robinson’s book had been taken seriously in Britain and had even made some impact in America. Let it not be imagined that this reflects either ignorance or obscurantism: Norwegians know their German theology. Norway has, moreover, experienced all the strains, controversies, and renewals so common elsewhere. Talks with various professors and church leaders elicited expressions of keen disappointment that the 1963 Lutheran World Federation congress in Helsinki had failed to produce a popular statement on the meaning for today of justification by faith.
A most significant development in Norwegian church history occurred at about the turn of the century when three liberal professors were appointed to the university theological faculty founded in 1811. Matters came to a head when the chair of systematic theology became vacant in 1903. Battle raged over this key post, culminating in 1906 with the appointment of another liberal. As a result one of the evangelical professors resigned, and in 1908 there was founded the Free Faculty of Theology (Menighetsfakultetet; literally, The Congregation’s Faculty). Here it was that Ole Hallesby, Ph.D. of Erlangen, taught from 1909 and wrote his famous evangelical works. Despite the absence of any state subsidy, but supported by voluntary gifts from the congregations, this seminary has gone from strength to strength until now, with more than 400 students, it is training 80 per cent of Norway’s theological students.
I found the church generally more conservative in Norway than in any of the other four northern lands. This was seen not least during the German occupation in 1940 when Bishop Berggrav called for unity in recognition that “it is the old unabridged Gospel which alone can save our people.” The bishops openly condemned German and Quisling outrages and attempts to make teachers and pupils join Nazi organizations. Finding their position intolerable, all seven bishops resigned as civil servants. Deans refused to be appointed to the vacant bishoprics, and 787 of 858 clergymen broke with the regime, refusing to accept salary but continuing to hold services and minister to their parishes. Scores were arrested or interned, but others carried on, sometimes amid great hardship.
The king is head of the Norwegian church and is required to profess, maintain, and protect the national polity. Norway has had surprisingly few problems in reconciling spiritual and temporal authority.
To God give all glory, to king his tax yield;
Remember that meadow and hillock and field
You have from your God and your monarch.
Although they have nearly 900 missionaries working abroad, none of the country’s twenty-three missionary societies is affiliated with the WCC; the latter is regarded as having an unsatisfactory attitude to the Bible as the Word of God. Another feature of missionary activity is its traditional link with a strong lay movement.
God is far from being nudged out of the curriculum in Norwegian schools. “The Evangelical Lutheran religion shall remain the public religion of the State,” says Article 2 of the Constitution. So close, indeed, is the bond between church and education that one government ministry deals with both areas. There is no discrimination against those who are not members of the state church, but as someone suggested, “An outspoken atheist would probably not make a very good living selling brushes at doors in south Norway’s ‘Bible Belt.’ ” (In 1952 a court case there centered around a teacher who had doubted Methuselah’s age.)
Pietism is still strong in Norway, as in Finland (the two northern lands most directly involved in World War II), but it is no longer vulnerable to the charge of “lacking in ethical seriousness” brought against it by Hans Nielsen Hauge (born 1771), who made personal Christianity come alive for so many of his fellows. Hauge was imprisoned for several years for violations of the 1741 Conventicle Act against lay preachers, repeal of which was long overdue. “If half-educated people can freely write against God’s Word for millions,” complained the Bishop of Bergen at that time, referring to the recent introduction of freedom of the press, “then surely also uneducated people who love God’s Word must be allowed to preach it freely.…” Harassed and persecuted as he was, Hauge toward the end of his life warned his followers against separatism and disorder, which strong confessionalism characterized also the Johnsonian revival of a century ago. Perhaps this explains why no substantial free church has ever existed in Norway, where the state church claims 96 per cent of the people. The evangelical still claims on good historical grounds to be the loyalist in his denomination at a time when the new Athenians (if I may coin the phrase) are restlessly casting around for theological novelty.
Novelty was in evidence also some years ago when missionaries from Utah began to microphotograph all the church books in the country for ancestor-tracing purposes. Church people objected to such records’ falling into the hands of alien religionists. The government generally tended toward a policy of non-interference but showed itself opportunistic by obtaining a copy of all films for its archives—a project previously impossible because of lack of funds.

The Art of Incense Making: DIY Cinnamon Incense for the Holidays
The practice of burning incense has been an integral part of various cultures and traditions for centuries. The art of incense making involves creating fragrant and aromatic substances that release a pleasant scent when burned. In this article, we will explore the art of incense making, with a specific focus on DIY cinnamon incense for the holidays.
Introduction to the art of incense making
Incense making is an ancient art that has been practiced for thousands of years. It has been used in religious ceremonies, spiritual rituals, and even for medicinal purposes. The process involves combining various natural ingredients to create a unique blend of scents.
History of Incense Making
The history of incense making dates back to ancient civilizations such as Egypt, India, China, and Japan. These cultures believed that burning incense had the power to purify the air, drive away evil spirits, and create a sense of calm and relaxation. The techniques and ingredients used in incense making have been passed down through generations, resulting in a wide variety of incense types and scents.
Why Making Your Own Incense?
Making your own incense allows you to have full control over the ingredients used and the final scent produced. It gives you the freedom to experiment with different combinations and create personalized aromas that suit your preferences. DIY incense also ensures that you are using natural and eco-friendly materials, avoiding any potential harmful chemicals found in store-bought incense.
Understanding the Ingredients Needed For Cinnamon Incense
About Cinnamon: The Key Ingredient
Cinnamon is a popular spice known for its warm and comforting aroma. It is derived from the bark of the cinnamon tree and has been used in incense making for its rich scent. Cinnamon is often associated with the holiday season, making it the perfect choice for creating homemade incense for festive celebrations.
Other Essential Ingredients for Cinnamon Incense
In addition to cinnamon, there are a few other essential ingredients needed to make cinnamon incense. These may include natural binders such as gum arabic or makko powder, which help hold the incense together, and optional aromatic materials like cloves or nutmeg to enhance the scent.
How to Make DIY Cinnamon Incense
Preparing Your Workspace
Before you begin making your own cinnamon incense, it is important to prepare your workspace. Make sure you have a clean and well-ventilated area to work in. Gather all the necessary ingredients and tools, including a mortar and pestle for grinding, measuring spoons, and incense molds or sticks.
Step-by-Step Guide to Mixing Ingredients
1. Start by grinding the cinnamon bark into a fine powder using a mortar and pestle. This will help release its aromatic oils.
2. Measure and add the desired amount of gum arabic or makko powder to the powdered cinnamon. This will act as a binder.
3. If desired, add a small amount of other aromatic materials like cloves or nutmeg to enhance the scent of the incense.
4. Mix the ingredients thoroughly until they are well combined. The consistency should be slightly sticky, allowing you to shape the incense later.
Shaping and Drying Your Cinnamon Incense
1. Once the ingredients are mixed, you can start shaping your cinnamon incense. You can either roll the mixture into thin sticks or press it into molds to create various shapes.
2. Set the shaped incense aside in a cool, dry place to dry and harden. This process may take a few days or up to a week, depending on the humidity levels in your area.
3. Once completely dry, your homemade cinnamon incense is ready to be used.
Using Cinnamon Incense During Holidays
Ideas to Incense Your Home for Holiday Festivities
Cinnamon incense adds a warm and inviting ambiance to your home during the holiday season. Here are a few ideas to incorporate it into your holiday festivities:
- Burn cinnamon incense during family gatherings or holiday parties to create a cozy and festive atmosphere.
- Place cinnamon incense sticks in decorative holders or bowls as part of your holiday table centerpiece.
- Light cinnamon incense in the living room while decorating the Christmas tree or opening presents to enhance the festive spirit.
Tips to Store Cinnamon Incense
To ensure the longevity and freshness of your homemade cinnamon incense, it is important to store it properly. Here are a few tips:
- Keep your cinnamon incense in airtight containers or ziplock bags to prevent moisture from affecting its quality.
- Store the incense in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight or heat sources, as these can cause the incense to lose its potency.
- Label your stored incense with the date of creation to keep track of its shelf life.
Safety Precautions While Making and Using Homemade Incense
Safe Production – Handling Ingredients and Tools
When making your own incense, it is important to follow certain safety precautions:
- Wear gloves when handling the ingredients to avoid skin irritation or allergic reactions.
- Work in a well-ventilated area to prevent the inhalation of fine particles or fumes.
- Use suitable protective gear, such as goggles or a mask, when grinding ingredients to protect your eyes and respiratory system.
- Keep children and pets away from the workspace to avoid any accidents.
Safe Usage – Burning Incense Responsibly
When burning homemade incense, keep the following safety tips in mind:
- Always burn incense in a well-ventilated area to prevent the buildup of smoke or odors.
- Place the burning incense on a heat-resistant surface, away from flammable materials or drafts.
- Never leave burning incense unattended.
- Extinguish the incense properly after use by fully extinguishing the ember or by placing it in a dish filled with sand.
By following these safety precautions, you can enjoy the art of incense making and the aromatic experience it provides without any risks. | <urn:uuid:9f672c8f-9e6c-406a-b0f1-136eed0f0b3a> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://cinnamonbear.co.uk/the-art-of-incense-making-diy-cinnamon-incense-for-the-holidays/ | 2024-04-17T09:46:00Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296817146.37/warc/CC-MAIN-20240417075330-20240417105330-00667.warc.gz | en | 0.893528 | 1,253 |

first post so please forgive any netiquette transgressions. I'm following the guide https://civicrm.org/bug-reporting to get confirmation this is a bug.
Version: 4.6.12 (also present in 4.7.1)
* Bug description *
User 1 (admin) creates a case and assigns a role to user 2. User 1 creates an activity on this case and assigns the activity to user 2.
User2 has the ACL role "edit my activities and cases" and logs in. They can see their case and Manage it. When user2 clicks the Edit link alongside the activity user1 assigned to them they get an error, "Sorry an Error Occured You are not authorised to access this page.".
This also generates the following in the Apache error log:
PHP Warning: array_key_exists(): The first argument should be either a string or an integer in /wp-content/plugins/civicrm/civicrm/CRM/Case/Form/Activity.php on line 121, referer: https://ourtestdomain.co.uk/wp-admin/admin.php?page=CiviCRM&q=civicrm%2Fcontact%2Fview%2Fcase&reset=1&id=3&cid=16&action=view&context=dashboard&selectedChild=case
Line 121 should be passing a case ID into the array_key_exists() call and that case ID should be an int or a string. The comment at the top of Activity.php suggests that the original author expected it to be an int. However the variable passed holds an object that contains the case id in question. This generates the warning in the error log and the pop-up seen by the user. If the case id is extracted from the object and passed into array_key_exists the user can edit the activity.
User2 has permission to edit this activity and I believe its a bug that they cannot.
NB because of the need for multiple users I haven't been able to recreate this on the demo install where you only have one user.
If you could confirm this I will file a bug report per step 7 of the guide. | <urn:uuid:7c896519-d9a1-4d4b-9347-c8c30a9bd186> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://civicrm.stackexchange.com/questions/9694/users-with-case-roles-cannot-edit-activities-assigned-to-them-is-this-a-bug/10648 | 2024-04-17T09:12:00Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296817146.37/warc/CC-MAIN-20240417075330-20240417105330-00667.warc.gz | en | 0.887153 | 469 |

Foreword by Ngūgī was Thiong'o.
A collection of previously unpublished essays on race, colonialism and Marxism by Pan Africanist historian Walter Rodney.
Guyanese intellectual and political activist Walter Rodney (1942-1980) led anti-colonial movements in on the African continent, in North America and in the Caribbean. In 1968, while teaching at the University of the West Indies in Mona, the Jamaican government banned him from ever returning to Jamaica and he was dismissed from his position, sparking what became known as the Rodney riots. He was Professor of History at the University of Dar es Salaam (1969-1974), before returning to Guyana to take up a position as Professor at the University of Huyana. After the government prevented his appointment he became increasingly active in politics, founding the Working People's Alliance in opposition to the People's National Congress government. He was assassinated in 1980 in Georgetown. His books include How Europe Underdeveloped Africa. | <urn:uuid:e3553c8c-c763-4683-a6fb-37efeed035d6> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://clarkesbooks.co.za/products/decolonial-marxism-essays-from-the-pan-african-revolution | 2024-04-17T08:59:00Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296817146.37/warc/CC-MAIN-20240417075330-20240417105330-00667.warc.gz | en | 0.974204 | 208 |

RALEIGH – The Hatteras-class ferries M/V Kinnakeet and the M/V Chicamacomico will be replaced in 2020 by two new, river-class vehicle ferries, the North Carolina Department of Transportation’s Ferry Division announced Monday.
The Ferry Division has awarded a contract to the Gulf Island Shipyards of Houma, Louisiana, for the construction of the two ferries that will cost a total of $22.85 million.
The vessels will be paid for with money from the Ferry Division’s Vessel Replacement Fund.
The two new ferries, tentatively named the M/V Avon and the M/V Salvo, will carry 40 vehicles each and are scheduled to be delivered in 2020, when the M/V Kinnakeet and the M/V Chicamacomico will be replaced.
“These two new boats, along with the two others already under construction, will both increase our capacity and upgrade our technology,” Ferry Division Director Harold Thomas said in a statement. “The new ferries mark a major step in improving and modernizing the North Carolina Ferry System.” | <urn:uuid:21212de4-4bd4-47d5-85dc-a29cf4b4f098> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://coastalreview.org/2018/11/ncdot-awards-contract-for-two-new-ferries/ | 2024-04-17T08:46:14Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296817146.37/warc/CC-MAIN-20240417075330-20240417105330-00667.warc.gz | en | 0.926599 | 238 |

It’s from the “SmartScreen Filter,” a Windows security feature with a slightly different name, also known as “Windows SmartScreen” or “Microsoft SmartScreen.” It was first developed & introduced in Internet Explorer 8, and it keeps on expanding with each progressive update. Nowadays, it’s not limited to just Internet Explorer, but it has become a part of the Windows operating system since Windows 8.x and beyond.
Put simply, Microsoft SmartScreen helps prevent “unknown” programs to run without a warning message to its users. It has a built-in algorithm for the reputation of a publisher, which evaluates the reputation of every file or software a user downloads or runs. If the downloaded file or software is not in everyday use with users, SmartScreen is most likely to warn. It’s quite good for regular users as it prevents a user from downloading unwanted software and Malware unless it’s been signed with a branded certificate. You can get more details here.
No need to worry. If your software is facing this issue, an EV Code Signing Certificate is the solution as it helps to get an instant SmartScreen reputation boost.
EV Code Signing Certificate features which eliminate the Microsoft SmartScreen message
- If the software is signed with an EV Code Signing Certificate, it says that the authorization and identity of the publisher are completed as per the EV Code Signing guidelines of CA/Browser Forum.
- Displays Name, Address and type of the organization in the certificate.
- It uses 2048-bit RSA Signature key for signing applications.
- It helps users to recognize the publisher.
- Helps software developers to raise their reputation as their software product undergoes a rigorous verification process.
- Helps to prevent unauthorized signing as the private key is managed in external hardware which must meet the FIPS 140-2 Level 2 or equivalent requirements. In other words, as the private key is stored on external hardware, it works like two-factor authentication, as it is necessary to have that physical device which includes the private key for signing any code or software.
- Works like a boon for new developers and companies as any application signed with EV Code Signing establish an instant reputation with SmartScreen reputation services.
- Gives confidence to users that the application which they are downloading is from a genuine developer who is trusted by a globally known Certificate Authority (CA).
- Compatible by all the major platforms (Authenticode, Java, Adobe AIR, Mac OS, Office VBA).
- Support for HSM (Hardware Security Modules).
- Allows signing an unlimited number of applications.
- Offers better treatment to software signed with EV Code Signing on the platforms where security filters are active. | <urn:uuid:2524dd2b-2150-4d05-a16d-4fa4ba1c3b6c> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://codesigningstore.com/what-does-this-smartscreen-message-means | 2024-04-17T09:49:49Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296817146.37/warc/CC-MAIN-20240417075330-20240417105330-00667.warc.gz | en | 0.940647 | 571 |

Germania Mint's Ostara is the second coin in their Valkyries series. The Germanic goddesses, daughters of Odin, who were shown on the 2023 Valkyries Ostara 2 oz silver coin in extra high relief and who, in Germanic legend, were there to comfort the souls of the bravest soldiers who had fallen in battle. Ostara represents the beginning of a new and fruitful season. All that is new, bright, and joyful is brought by her. Ostara, goddess of the triumph of life over death, is shown on the obverse, with the fertility symbols of the deer and the hare. While out in the snow, the Valkyrie supposedly discovered an injured bird and turned it into a rabbit, which is better able to withstand the cold. Ostara is adorned with a floral crown and a light white robe. She wears the rune of vitality and renewal, female fertility and beauty, Berkanan, along the base of her neck. The reverse features the design, which combines the goddess's animal, a deer, with Germania Mint's signature double-headed eagle. On the shield are the denomination, metal contest, and issuance year. Including the use of Germanic runes. There will only be 999 of the Valkyries Ostara 2 ounce silver coins struck. The Certificate that is provided with this issue verifies its genuineness. | <urn:uuid:2d5cc1ad-c613-4806-9476-d466ce865837> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://coinsboutique.com/product/2023-ostara-valkiries-2-oz-silver-coin-germania | 2024-04-17T09:40:19Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296817146.37/warc/CC-MAIN-20240417075330-20240417105330-00667.warc.gz | en | 0.958929 | 279 |

What is the CRA and what do we do? In a few words, we can be defined as a group of people who value riparian areas with a common goal of sharing knowledge and enthusiasm. As stated on our website: “the CRA was formed in 1989 by a small group of dreamers who believed that our riparian zones should not become sacrifice areas. Now an army of volunteers that includes landowners, citizens, agency staff, planners, and technical specialists, CRA shares that dream by sharing its knowledge, enthusiasm, and experience with anyone who joins us in trying to improve Colorado’s river systems and riparian ecosystems.”
The primary vehicle for sharing knowledge is this newsletter. Without our editors, Jay Thompson and Bill Goosman, this would not be possible. However, I must point out that they are seeking replacements, so please let us know if you are interested in helping.
Sharing knowledge has also been a directed effort during the last two presidencies. We owe many thanks to Kathryn Mutz and Denise Culver for spearheading these efforts. Within the last two years CRA has:
- Called every identifiable organization in Colorado that addresses riparian issues for collaboration;
- Posted links to these organizations on the CRA website;
- Participated in restoration efforts through Wildland Restoration Volunteers;
- Opened our board meetings to other groups to share their knowledge with us; and
- Hosted two spectacular conferences.
Our goal this year will be to continue and encourage efforts for sharing knowledge. The first step to improving Colorado’s river systems is to define them. As such, CRA is undertaking two new projects:
- Outreach program for middle-school science classes; and
- Joint Conference
The outreach program is being developed and managed by Corie Schott, the outreach and education chairperson. With Corie’s passion for riparian areas, she is developing a program in which middle schools can learn about riparian areas. More detail is provided in an article in this newsletter.
The second of these is a joint conference. This year CRA is planning a joint conference with other interested groups to share knowledge with a larger number of enthusiasts. Currently the interested groups include Colorado Watershed Association, Colorado Lake and Reservoir Management Association, Colorado Association of Stormwater and Floodplain Managers, Non-Point Source Forum, and Central Rockies Society for Ecological Restoration. The details surrounding the conference are currently being developed. If you would like additional information, please feel free to contact me ([email protected]).
I look forward to working with everyone throughout the upcoming year. With your help, we can reach out to many other organizations and share our knowledge and enthusiasm for the green line. | <urn:uuid:22b8f533-eca0-4f09-9f4d-36c4d377e2ab> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://coloradoriparian.org/2005/12/21/volume-16-number-4-winter-2005message-from-the-president/ | 2024-04-17T09:33:01Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296817146.37/warc/CC-MAIN-20240417075330-20240417105330-00667.warc.gz | en | 0.956697 | 562 |
Those who sweat and suffer through June and July in South Florida are rewarded with mangoes blooming from trees in yards, streets and strip malls.
WHY WE ARE THERE
We explore how America is defining itself one place at a time. In South Florida, mango lovers turn to the fruit to build a sense of community during the grueling summer.
The air thickens with humidity as summer arrives in South Florida. In the evening thunder murmurs. The tropics are beginning to move.
Then, something magical happens: The mango trees bear fruit. In good years they produce so much that strangers give away mangoes on their lawns. Neighbors pack them in boxes to mail to loved ones. Friends offer homemade pies.
This has been a very good year.
During the month of June, Zak Stern, the founder of Zak the Baker, his bakery in Miami’s Wynwood neighborhood, invited customers to bring six local mangoes in exchange for a loaf of bread. He started taking about 200 a day.
“I think we have enough mango jam for, like, the next five years,” he said.
The Miami summer scares off tourists and part-timers who only care to experience the glorious winter. The roads become emptier. The days are slowing down.
The reward for hardy locals who stay year-round, sweating and suffering through hurricane season, comes in the form of the seductive mango, blushing from trees in yards, streets and strip malls.
“This,” said Mr. Stern, who grew up in suburban Kendall, “is a gift to the people who remain.”
What he and other south Florida mango evangelists like best about the June-to-August peak season is how sharing a beloved fruit brings people together in a relatively young, multinational city with few broadly shared traditions. Mangoes remind immigrants of the places they left — and help them feel like Miami, with its mix of cultures and languages, is home.
“For people who come from tropical countries — say, Southeast Asia, or the Caribbean, or Latin America — they grow with mangoes,” said Jonathan H. Crane, a tropical fruit specialist at the University of Florida’s tropical research and education department. . center in Homestead, south of Miami. “So there is a connection with mangoes from their childhood.”
I grew up with mangoes in Venezuela but didn’t fully appreciate their succulentness until I moved to Miami two decades ago. Without a yard of my own, I trawl the suburbs for fruit trees for sale, saving some for my mother’s mango ceviche. A friend hosts an annual mango daiquiri party, which has become one of my favorite ways to celebrate the start of summer. Inevitably, it rains.
Most have mango stories. Mr. Stern likes to eat them over the sink, juice dripping down his chin. Xavier Murphy, who is from Jamaica, went to such lengths to try to protect his East Indian mango tree from hungry wildlife that one year he used his children’s life-size cutout of Jonas brother as a scarecrow. (It worked, for a while.) Natalia Martinez-Kalinina, born in Cuba and raised in Mexico, bakes mango pies in honor of her grandmother, who gave away buckets full of mangoes every summer in Cuba.
“It’s become this really nice community exchange,” Ms. Martinez-Kalinina said. “People text me and say, ‘I have mangoes — do you need more for mango pie?’
Mangoes originated in Southeast Asia and were spread by colonists all over the globe—including, in the mid-19th century, to South Florida, where wealthy landowners cultivated them as a potential cash crop. But workers from the Bahamas and Cuba also brought seeds in their pockets because the fruit reminded them of home, said Timothy P. Watson, an English professor at the University of Miami who is working on a book on the history of mangoes in Florida.
“They literally mix here in Miami,” he said of the varieties from around the world. “The combination produces a mango culture that is now one of the very few things that brings people together in this incredibly fractured metropolitan area. It’s a complicated story, and a bitter story in many ways.”
Florida mangoes dominated the commercial market in the United States until Hurricane Andrew destroyed nearly half of the state’s groves in 1992. International trade agreements then made it cheaper to import mangoes that once grew in Florida from Latin America and the Caribbean. Perhaps 1,500 acres remain in Florida’s mango industry, Dr. Crane estimated.
Cold weather hurt the crop last year, but a more typical winter and spring led to a bountiful harvest this year, with no biting temperatures to threaten the fruit or the flowers that precede it.
Although commercial operations have largely withered, mangoes still thrive in backyards and in the small specialty market, Dr. Crane said, because mango growers demand varieties that are not found in grocery stores.
“I like anything but being bored,” said Walter Zill, 81, who sells mangoes from the 40 or so varieties he grows with his wife, Verna, in the Palm Beach County town of Boynton Beach. “A man can eat many mangoes without ever getting tired of them.”
His brother, Gary Zill, grows about 90 varieties to sell in nearby Lake Worth, including nearly two dozen of his own cultivars with names like Coconut Cream and Pineapple Pleasure. In the 1960s, his father’s nursery sold only 16 varieties.
In the upscale Miami suburb of Coral Gables, Fairchild Tropical Botanic Garden has 550 varieties of mango, one of the most diverse collections in the world. Bruce W. Greer, the chairman of the board of trustees, helped start an annual mango festival. Now in its 30th year, it is expected to draw up to 8,000 visitors this weekend.
A few months ago, Mr. Greer’s sister came to town and wanted to take her daughter to see the house where she and Mr. Greer lived as children. The two mango trees their father had planted in the early 1960s – Haden and Kent – were still there, thriving.
“I literally remember my dad putting them in when I was 6,” said Mr. Greer, who has 22 trees of his own. “They went through I don’t know how many owners. They’ve been through my whole life.”
This inspired Mr. Greer to envision a new “Million Mango Project” for Fairchild to promote tree planting throughout Miami, with the goal of bringing people closer to the prized fruit and shade to neighborhoods with limited tree canopy.
“We will reintroduce these mangoes into the landscape,” he said.
Two years ago, shortly after moving into a historic home in Coral Gables, Catalina Saldarriaga found herself inundated with fruit from two large mango trees on her property, which she believes must be at least 60 years old. This year she is again picking 70 to 80 mangoes a day.
“It may be my favorite fruit,” said Ms. Saldarriaga, 64, who grew up in Colombia with much smaller mangoes. “But you can only eat one or two a day.”
She gives the rest to friends, family, her cleaning lady, the contractors repairing her pergola. The mangoes that fall to the ground, not eaten by iguanas, birds or squirrels, she leaves on a patch of grass next to her driveway for passers-by to take for free.
One man stopped on his bike to thank her. Someone left flowers.
“What a joy,” she said, “that someone else can enjoy them too.”

The Truth brings Life |
Maybe when I was five years old this question could have been very easy to answer, I would have believed those who had showed me love and had proven their love through their presence. However now being much older and wiser, the question who will you believe can seem like an almost impossible answer to give. What is Truth? Is Truth relative or absolute? How will I know when I have found it?
Truth is like pure gold it can stand the test of time (Prov. 12:19), it is like a well polished mirror it brings reality into perfect focus (2 Cor 3:18), nothing can be hidden behind it's gaze (Heb. 4:12). As we journey in this New Year, seeking for more, seeking for better. the great fork in the road appears like it did in the garden of Eden, choose this day which truth you will adopt.
If you had to ask me right now which path I have decided to take, who I have decided to believe? In a strange way, although wiser I go back to the simple truth of a five year old. I believe the one who has showed me unconditional love and has proven their love by their beautiful presence in my life. Because of whom I believe I live and grant life to many, but be not deceived if you choose the less than perfect absolute Truth, "You will surely die". Seek to know Him better in the person of Jesus Christ because in Him there is fullness of life (Ps 119:160), now this is true comfort for the soul. | <urn:uuid:93d6bcd5-7868-4087-848c-8d4f3b01d9e9> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://comfortnotes.blogspot.com/2013/01/you-will-not-surely-die.html | 2024-04-17T10:07:55Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296817146.37/warc/CC-MAIN-20240417075330-20240417105330-00667.warc.gz | en | 0.980763 | 318 |
ComicBook.com recently got a chance to speak to Lightfoot about The Punisher's sophomore season, as well as other corners of the Marvel universe that he's a fan of. In addition to expressing interest in writing something for Vincent D'onofrio's Kingpin, as well as Marvel's Blade, he revealed that he would love to bring some sort of iteration of Spider-Man to life -- but he has a different outlook on that task after seeing Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse.
"Right from when I was a kid, I was always a Spider-Man guy." Lightfoot revealed. "And if the chance ever came to write anything Spider-Man related, my twelve year old self would never be happier. Though I have to say, having just seen Into the Spider-Verse, that's a big bar to jump because I thought that movie was good. I thought it was a different level."
The Sony animated film follows Miles Morales (Shameik Moore) throughout his origins as Spider-Man -- as well as the realization that he isn't the only web-slinger in a massive multiverse. In the month since Spider-Verse was first released, it seems like audiences have shared Lightfoot's sentiment, with the film earning a slew of awards (including a recent Oscar nomination).
"We were working so hard, we were very late in delivering the film so we didn't really have a moment of pause before the reactions started pouring in," co-director Bob Perisichetti explained in a recent interview. "So it was kind of shocking to immediately go from the mix stage to a premiere and a release, but the positivity has been so incredible. There's one really good story that [co-director] Rodney [Rothman] has, but I've got one that I shared with you from a father of a really good friend of my son who saw this movie and sent a really incredible DM to me about how he grew up in Brooklyn, how he was this sort of really nerdy somewhat cool kid who loved Peter Parker and saw this film with his son and was just talking about how if he had this when he was a kid how much this would've meant to him. And he was so happy to share it with his son. So for me, it's those moments that just make you go, 'Oh, this is wonderful.'"
"It's just great that after three years of work, people are embracing it with the spirit that we hoped they would, and the spirit that we put into it," co-director Peter Ramsey added. "Because we really cared about this story. I mean we've got a crew of, what, 800 people, something like that. And everyone really so deeply cared about telling this story the way that we told it and with the heart that we feel it has. So it's great that people are actually picking up on that and it means something to them."
The Punisher's second season is available to stream on Netflix. Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse is in theaters now. | <urn:uuid:36214bbf-e60e-41e6-bf9b-df6e14668c42> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://comicbook.com/marvel/news/the-punisher-season-2-steve-lightfoot-spider-man-into-the-spider-verse/ | 2024-04-17T08:34:49Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296817146.37/warc/CC-MAIN-20240417075330-20240417105330-00667.warc.gz | en | 0.987349 | 634 |

Kickstarter is a website where we can help people realize their dreams/goals of sharing postcards with others. I was surprised and delighted when I did a search last night and found many active projects right now!
Projects run for a limited and short time–usually no more than a few weeks. Someone might choose to launch a business using Kickstarter, or they maybe have a passion to share cards they create this year. Creators might decide to send out only within specific geography, or they might ship worldwide.
I think PostCrossing is an excellent community of people and I want very much to share with like-minded individuals the wonderful opportunities we might find for postcards on Kickstarter.
- Some of us might OBTAIN cards there
- Some of us might SHARE our creative efforts there
Feel free to add your own Kickstarter discoveries!

One project is from someone in Russia.
Each project might or might not choose to send things worldwide.
The creator of each project decides … not all projects are US-only.
This is great! Thank you!
My daughter’s class was involved with a Kickstarter campaign a few years ago. They tested and were on video for a kids product. Now I need to look into what came of it. I just have to remember the name of the product or main guy…
Anyways, I’ll check those out that you posted!
Bashful Ghost Postcards/Art Prints, via @Kickstarter
I’m really glad you posted a link to this one – I like the card designs (and tee shirt) a lot. Hopefully, he can hit his funding goal. I’m gonna keep my fingers crossed and try to think of other places to promote the Kickstarter.
Thanks for sharing, I backed Willy and he made his goal. Hope to receive his postcards in June
Keep sharing nice projects involving postcards over here everyone!

Can anyone help me with this,
I have this situation. I need to hide some lines in creo drawing, so I started using Edge Display tool from
Layout>edit> Edge Display
So it removes some of the solid lines, but some of the dimmed lines were unable to hide. Please see the attached Screenshot.
Please suggest a better way,
Thanks and Regards,
Solved! Go to Solution.
The usual cause of section problems is coincidence of the section plane with some part of the geometry. Moving the section a very small amount will often rectify the situation. There is also the sometimes condition that the section view direction is not correct for the view the section is in, causing all sorts of oddities.
The usual difficulty in erasing edges is that the already hidden edges are still available for selection so that if there are overlapping edges the one that is selected first will continue to be selected. This usually presents as a line that refuses to be hidden or removed when all that is happening is the first one keeps getting reselected. Use query-select to select the next one.
If neither of these apply then, as Martin Hanak suggests, the model and the drawing will be required to figure out the particular problem.
I think you just switched your holes from threaded holes to clearance holes. It may print without the hidden lines, but if others read your data you may not get what you are looking for.
Later I Realised that it solved my problem temporarily, But in its side projection another problem has raised again. The hole is not showing threads.
It should show something like this
But it is showing something like this (After removing the Threading as mentioned in above)
Here what I have done is, I draw a sketch in 3D model, and changed the line properties to the centerline. | <urn:uuid:ba4dc11f-a182-4ad0-a89c-3862c04fe572> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://community.ptc.com/t5/3D-Part-Assembly-Design/How-to-use-Edge-Display-to-hide-lines-dimmed-lines-in-creo/m-p/490119 | 2024-04-17T09:28:18Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296817146.37/warc/CC-MAIN-20240417075330-20240417105330-00667.warc.gz | en | 0.957642 | 378 |
I have Qlik license in the test server now., need to migrate into into Production server.
For Migrating License test to production how can i clear Existing test qlik sense server license ? Or Can i use this single license in two machines ? If used means what will happen?
Kindly provide the solution
Thanks in advance...........
First of all Test License is different than Production License. Several features will not work in Test License eg: All charts will have water mark saying "TEST", license lease etc.
If you are using same license in 2 different machines or for 2 servers, then one of the server will go down.
Not recommended to use same license in 2 machines.
I think simply entering the Production license and Click Update License from Server will update the Test to Production Server. The functionalities are tied to License and not installation (.exe) file
Thank for your reply....................
I have production license.. just i need to change license from one server to another server. In qlik View we have option like clear license in licensing tab QMC to clear the existing license and move it to another server and use the same license. But in Qlik sense no such option how to achieve that. | <urn:uuid:083ed595-a104-4c34-aab7-36aad9504fba> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://community.qlik.com/t5/QlikView-App-Dev/Qlik-sense-license-migration-from-test-server-to-production/m-p/1079044 | 2024-04-17T08:58:04Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296817146.37/warc/CC-MAIN-20240417075330-20240417105330-00667.warc.gz | en | 0.845807 | 251 |

A small group (with a wheelchair) is attending a wedding in La Coruna. We have flights into Madrid 2 days before the nuptials. Part of the group (with the wheelchair) departs a week later from Barcelona. My husband and I will continue on to Toledo and Segovia then depart from Madrid. What is the best way to use our time going from La Coruna to Barcelona with our friend using wheelchair. Note: this may be her last (and only) trip abroad.
P.S. Friend loves to shop.
How many days do you have after the wedding, before the other group's flight home? Will you have a car?
It's a 4 hr. drive to Porto from La Coruna. But it's about a 13 hr. drive to Barcelona (driving time only, no stops) from Porto. How are you going to manage that? What happened to doing Toledo after they left? Considering that the week doesn't start until after La Coruna, you don't have too many places, they are just too far from each other so it causes a lot of travel time. Have you thought about trains instead of part of the driving?
We will leave La Coruna on Oct. 20 and friends' flight leaves Barcelona Oct. 27. New information: one friend has heard that Portugal is fantastic, so is set on going to Lisbon. I'm going to try to reset her expectations to only go as far as Porto. So it now looks like a breakneck: Madrid > Segovia > La Coruna > Porto > Toledo > Barcelona > Madrid | <urn:uuid:cd777d18-4579-40f1-8e24-1aa3004d71ea> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://community.ricksteves.com/travel-forum/to-the-west/madrid-la-coruna-barcelona-madrid | 2024-04-17T08:20:18Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296817146.37/warc/CC-MAIN-20240417075330-20240417105330-00667.warc.gz | en | 0.961339 | 328 |
Understanding Boiler Operation
Understanding Boiler Operation
One of the most common water softener applications is for softening the supply water to steam boilers. Most industrial and many commercial establishments require steam. Steam is used in textile mills to produce, form, and dye fabrics. The dry cleaner uses steam to iron linens. Canneries and meat packers cook or process foods with steam. Bakeries prepare bread with steam. The breweries use it to make beer. Boilers are used frequently for heating water in hotels, hospitals, laundries, and large buildings. It drives many of the turbines that produce electrical power. As a general rule, the larger the factory or industrial operation, the more apt we are to find one or more steam boilers in operation at that facility.
Most boilers have several things in common. Usually at the bottom is a firebox or combustion chamber (furnace) where the cheapest or most available fuel is fed through a burner to form a flame. The burner is controlled automatically to pass only enough fuel to maintain a desired steam pressure. The flame or heat is directed and distributed to the heating surfaces which are usually tubes, flues, or coils of fairly small diameter. In some designs the water flows through the tubes or coils and the heat is applied to the outside. These are called water-tube boilers. In other boilers, the tubes or flues are immersed in the water and the heat passes through the inside of the tubes. These are fire-tube boilers. If the water is subjected to the heated gases more than once, the boiler is a “two pass,” “three pass,” or “multiple pass” boiler.
The heated water or steam rises to the water surface, vaporizes, and is collected in one or more chambers or “drums.” The larger the drum capacity, the greater is the ability of the boiler to produce large, sudden demands of steam. At the top of the firebox is a metal or brick chimney or “stack” which carries away the combustion by-products and varying amounts of unused fuel. At the bottom of the boiler, and usually at the opposite end from the firebox, is an outlet valve called a “blowdown.” It is through this valve that most of the dirt, mud, sludge and other undesirable materials are purged from the boiler. Attached to the boiler are a multitude of safety controls to relieve the pressure if it gets too high, to shut off the burner if the water gets too low, or to automatically control the water level. A water column (sight glass) is provided so that the interior water level is visible to the operator. 1
Boiler Feed Water
The water for the boiler is usually stored in a “make-up” tank so that a sufficient volume of water is available for larger than usual demands. A constant level is maintained by a float valve similar in principle to the tank type toilet float control. A high pressure pump pulls the water from the make-up tank and pushes it into the boiler. Because most boilers operate at pressures higher than those of the water supply, the pump must raise the feed water pressure to somewhat above that of the boiler operating pressure.
Clean steam is pure water in the form of a gas. When it is cooled and condensed, it is pure water and it is referred to as “condensate.” As it is condensed into water it contains considerable heat which can be utilized. It is nearly perfect boiler make-up or feed water since it has been stripped of dissolved minerals and foreign matter in the evaporation process.
Whenever possible, condensate is returned to the boiler and is collected in a tank called a “condensate receiver.” When condensate is recovered, the receiver may also perform the functions of the make-up tank.
In some installations, condensate return may supply as much as 99% of the feed water and the higher the percentage of condensate the less water treatment is required. Other installations may use 100% make-up if for, various reasons, the condensate cannot be recovered, or if it is badly contaminated.
The temperature and pressure at which a boiler operates have a definite relationship as shown in the following table:
At normal atmospheric pressure, water boils at 212ºF (100ºC), at higher pressures the boiling point increases, reaching a maximum of 705ºF (374ºC) at a pressure of 3200 pounds per square inch. Above this temperature water cannot exist as a liquid.
Boilers are rated by the amount of steam they can produce in a certain period of time at a certain temperature. The largest units produce 1,000,000 pounds per hour of steam. Boilers are also rated on a power basis. A boiler is rated at one horsepower for every 34.5 pounds of water it can evaporate per hour. Another definition is one horsepower for every 10 square feet of heating surface in a water-tube boiler or 12 square feet of heating surface in a fire-tube boiler. | <urn:uuid:d2e64b09-b3ff-4233-9427-fbaba3baff3f> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://complete-water.com/resources/understanding-boiler-operation | 2024-04-17T09:43:49Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296817146.37/warc/CC-MAIN-20240417075330-20240417105330-00667.warc.gz | en | 0.950156 | 1,051 |

Toyota Declares War To EVs Industry With A New Water-Powered Engine
Game-Changer for Sustainable Transportation
Innovation By Toyota
Toyota is set to revolutionize the automotive industry with its groundbreaking water-powered engine, signaling a new era in eco-friendly transportation that could reshape the market.
Toyota’s engine harnesses the power of water, operating on principles similar to the HHO generator but tailored uniquely for vehicles. By processing water to extract hydrogen, the engine eliminates the need for heavy, high-pressure storage tanks used in current Fuel Cell Electric Vehicles (FCEVs) and hydrogen combustion engines.
𝐇𝐨𝐰 𝐈𝐭 𝐖𝐨𝐫𝐤𝐬

26-Apr-2006 -- Lin Zhi (林芝) Prefecture, Tibet
Line Hunting Date: April 26, 2006
A Confluence point next to National Highway 318 – one of the easiest hunt in Tibet?
Tibet is by far the most remote area within China. One indicator to measure the degree of remoteness is the population to confluence point ratio. At this area known as “roof of the world” with a total of 112 confluence points, the total population is only 2.6 million, ratio of 24,000 people per confluence point. In contrast, the rest of China has a ratio of 1.5 million people per confluence point. The general rule of line hunting is that - higher the population density, easier to find a road to get close to the confluence point. Based on this rule, most the points in Tibet are harder to reach. However, based on the map, this particular confluence point is an exception to the rule, about 1 km south of the only major highway transverse central Tibet.
The trip started in Lhasa with final destination the capital of Linzhi prefecture about 520 km straight east. We followed national highway 318 which is a 4800 km road started in Shanghai and ended in Tibet and Nepal border. The portion within Tibet is better known as the Sichuan-Tibet highway - the main road connecting eastern and central Tibet. It just so happen this particular point located about 1000 meters from the 318 highway, near the marker of 4216 kilometer at a little village called Zhong Cun with newly build housings (Photo 9)
We started the hike 880 meters GPS distance from the confluence point. In most other places, this remaining distance means an easy track to complete the mission. But, at this location, what we saw was a rather intermediating steep rocky cliff over 250 meters tall, and this confluence point appears to be beyond this rocky cliff. This turned out to be a more difficult hunt after all.
Yuzhen decided to rest in the car, so the hike started with three hunters. We followed the valley on the right side of the cliff up the slope. It was a rather wide and open valley with many wild azaleas blooming and rocks covered with moss. About halfway up the steep slope, Xiaofeng decided this was the right amount of exercise and turned back. This left the two unacclimatized hunters just arrived from sea level 3 days ago pushed on.
As we huffed and puffed our way up the slope, Leland gradually fell behind. When Ray reached within 120 meters from the confluence point faced with a 4 to 5 meters rock wall, Leland was no longer in sight. Ray found a crack on the rock wall and climbed up and pushed the last 100 meters in dense trees to reach the objective. At which point, Leland was no longer within voice contact. After a few photos of the spectacular surrounding, Ray descended rapidly assuming that Leland already tuned back. But this was not the case. When Ray reached the car, Leland was not there.
Quickly Yuzhen and Ray started back up the slope again to search for Leland. Eventually, after 30 minutes about half way up the slope voice contact was established. All was well, and apparently Leland passed the rock wall went further up after Ray went up the Rock wall into the woods. Based on the description, Leland did pass within 100 meters of this confluence point.
The entire hunt including the extra time searching for Leland took a little over 2 hours. The hardest part was going up almost 300 meters when the starting point had an elevation of 3,700 meters for those of us only arrived from sea level recently. The small pitch of rock climbing was great fun. All in all, this was a hard track for probably one of the easiest confluence point in Tibet. The truth is that, there is no easy line hunting in the mountain with elevation near 4,000 meters.
We reached Linzhi in late afternoon. The hunting excursion gave some of us a wonderful break of exercise from the 6 hour car ride.>
Rating of this hunt:
Degree of Challenge: 3 – a difficult climb at 3900 meters for non-acclimatized person and final approach requires the climb up of a 4-5 meter rock wall (1= very easy - drive to the point; to 5= a death march – glad it is over)
Scenery: 4– Beautiful mountain and valley with wild azalea blooming (Scale: 1= not interesting at all; 5= take your breath away)
Culture-social factors: 3- rural Tibetan village (Scale: 1=dull; 5= most stimulating) | <urn:uuid:824e3097-f737-40b4-9170-0cefe151e49f> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://confluence.org/confluence.php?lat=30&lon=93 | 2024-04-17T09:38:06Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296817146.37/warc/CC-MAIN-20240417075330-20240417105330-00667.warc.gz | en | 0.95905 | 989 |

The Messiah is a beloved annual tradition for both performers and audiences around the world. This year, here in Durham, the concerts will be particularly precious, as Director of Chapel Music Rodney Wynkoop has announced his retirement at the end of this academic year. This is the last season he will direct this masterpiece in his current role.
The text of Messiah is scripture. Early in the piece, we hear “Prepare ye the way of the Lord, make straight in the desert a highway for our God.” (Isaiah 40:3) The season of Advent, which begins on Sunday, calls us to a time of expectation and preparation as we wait for the coming of Christ. The Messiah can help us with this preparation. You may choose to meditate on the scripture, attend a concert, or listen online (in some locations). You may also choose to thank one of the many people who bring the concert to us.
May we each seek to prepare the way of the Lord. | <urn:uuid:e5c9c397-380d-498c-a3bb-17ccfd8b9dff> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://congregation.chapel.duke.edu/blog_prepare | 2024-04-17T09:38:57Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296817146.37/warc/CC-MAIN-20240417075330-20240417105330-00667.warc.gz | en | 0.963478 | 329 |
This year’s premier user-led educational event for Dynamics AX professionals, AXUG 16, will be held in Tampa, Florida on October 11-14th. There are plenty of other AX-focussed conferences and user events throughout the calendar, so what makes the AXUG Summit worth travelling for?
1. Networking with experts
According to AXUG Summit board member Paul Martin, connections are as essential to the AXUG experience as education. While the primary function of the user group has always been learning, Mr Martin claims ‘we try very hard not to make it a sales pitch. It's really about the users.’
For developers and others in primary AX roles, this means that the AXUG Summit offers a purer experience where group sharing and building relationships is right at the centre.
2. Work through real problems
A quick look at the schedule will tell you everything you need to know about the sorts of conversations you’ll be having at the summit. Where other events might be shallow in the technical issues and client cases they cover, AXUG focusses on beginner to advance-level knowledge sharing.
Expect topics like ‘Advanced AX Development Tips and Tricks’ and ‘SQL for Administrators – Getting Down to the Nitty Gritty’ to be covered in detail.
3. Peer-to-peer learning
While conferences tend to be top down, and feature big-name speakers from large corporate organisations, AXUG focusses on peer-to-peer knowledge and electric keynotes from Microsoft representatives themselves.
With sessions like ‘How2’, ‘Roundtable’, ‘Ask the Experts’ and ‘Deep Dive’, there’s no doubting the knowledge available for the taking at AXUG.
4. Pre-conference academy
While the conference is the main attraction, you can also register for the pre-conference academy: focussed, instructor-led classroom training – all delivered by AXUG Academy.
This means that – whether you’re early on in your career, or you’ve been working with Dynamics AX for years – you have the potential to learn something new.
5. First look at Dynamics 365
There’s something new and exciting on the horizon and it’s called Dynamics 365. Available this fall, Microsoft Dynamics 365 evolves Microsoft’s current CRM and ERP cloud solutions into one cloud service with new purpose-built apps that will help to manage specific aspects of a business’s operations. These include: Financials, Field Service, Sales, Operations, Marketing, Project Service Automation and Customer Service.
At AXUG, you’ll be amongst the first to learn about Dynamics 365 and Microsoft apps and get hands-on experience with this new technology.
As you can see, AXUG 16 isn’t like other conferences. It is a true celebration of all things Dynamics AX, and we hope to see you there. | <urn:uuid:a1373aab-a742-4981-8530-17d1819737e8> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://conspicuous.com/conspicuous-blog/what-makes-the-axug-summit-16-worth-travelling-for/ | 2024-04-17T09:00:27Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296817146.37/warc/CC-MAIN-20240417075330-20240417105330-00667.warc.gz | en | 0.915027 | 619 |

October 27 Anti-War Marches in US
an article by Leslie Cagan, National Coordinator, United for Peace and Justice
Reports from around the country are still coming in, but by all accounts, Saturday's events were powerful expressions of our movement's commitment to end the war and occupation in Iraq. Organizers from the 11 regional actions, as well as the solidarity actions in other locations, talk about the excitement and energy in their marches, and the very positive response the demonstrations received from people watching them.
Here are a few highlights from the day:
* In New York, 45,000 stood up to the rain, led by veterans, military families, union members, and students, to make their calls for an immediate end to the war in Iraq and for no attack on Iran heard loud and clear in the streets of Manhattan.
* In San Francisco, 16,000 marched from the Civic Center to Dolores Park, stopping to hold a symbolic, mass die-in on Market Street along the way.
* In Orlando, 3,000 from Georgia to Key West also braved the rain to march in opposition to the war and to build the peace movement in the Southeast.

Many more action reports from all around the country, including photos and videos, as well as a slideshow, have already been posted on www.oct27.org. You can also find dozens of media reports about the events. We encourage you to check out these reports and to share them far and wide -- and to visit www.oct27.org to post your own as well.
One of the most valuable aspects of the day was its national character. The antiwar movement was in the streets in every region of the country. And in several of those places, people were in the streets in pretty miserable weather. But a little rain, even a lot of rain, is not enough to deter the determination of the antiwar movement!
As powerful and important as this day of action was, we are still far from mobilizing the millions of people throughout the country that want to see this war end. For months now, at least 70% of those polled have consistently opposed the war. More recently, 70% are now also saying they want Congress to cut funding for the war. But we have not yet reached into the vast majority of the population and convinced them of the value of public protest and the importance of their involvement in our movement.
The idea of doing a national protest in the form of regional actions was new and, in some ways, an experiment. In the past we've organized national marches in Washington, DC or New York City, and days of coordinated local actions, but the concept of regional actions was something different. We are pleased that people from all of the regional actions felt so positive about their experience, and that in the process of organizing, stronger ties were forged among peace and justice groups in each region.

Invited to witness a lifesaving heart transplant operation, journalist Edwin Benn is thrilled to be in on the action.
But when it comes to interviewing the fortunate recipient, Edwin finds himself questioning whether the man was worth saving. A white supremacist neo-Nazi with a track record of hate crimes, James Fisher is anything but pleasant to be around, and is furious when he discovers the identity of his heart donor, going to absurd lengths to ‘make it his own’ by having a swastika tattooed on his chest.
Appalled by the man’s behaviour, Edwin struggles to write his article without mentioning that racist Fisher did not deserve his donor heart.
But as Edwin continues to follow Fisher’s recovery, he discovers that the man he first interviewed has changed dramatically, and as he continues to report on the story, he becomes increasingly involved in helping him reconnect with his long-forgotten past. | <urn:uuid:a22d2fba-256f-4fff-8bc4-a43cfe072db6> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://cranthorpemillner.com/product/peter-harris-the-blighted-son/ | 2024-04-17T08:18:32Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296817146.37/warc/CC-MAIN-20240417075330-20240417105330-00667.warc.gz | en | 0.972886 | 186 |

I’ve been using Seventh Generation products for a while now and I highly recommend them. One of my clients manufactures their products for the Midwest and he recommends them as well – he knows exactly what goes into them and knows the company intimately. Their products are truly environmentally-friendly, as much as they possibly can be, and work well – even better. I subscribe to their newsletter (sign up via their home page) and they also have a blog, The Inspired Protagonist.
They truly care and I think have a lot of integrity. So try them out! Be healthy.

Discovery Film Festival, Scotland’s International Film Festival for Young Audiences, returns to Dundee Contemporary Arts from Sat 22 October – Sun 6 November 2016. Now in its 13th year, the festival offers audiences the chance to see the very best films for audiences aged 3 to 19 (and beyond) from all over the world, accompanied by creative workshops and activities, and a specially-programmed exhibition in DCA galleries.
The festival opens on Sat 22 October with the Scottish premiere of Rainbow, a dazzling colourful story of sibling friendship and triumph over the odds set in Rajasthan, suitable for ages 8+. The screening will be followed by an opening reception and creative workshop where attendees will be able to try out henna painting, stencilling and making their own colourful mandalas, all inspired by the film.
This year’s programme boasts six UK premieres: Secrets of War is a gripping account of friendship and courage, set in the Netherlands during the Second World War; while My Revolution is a clever take on the coming-of-age tale set against the backdrop of the reaction to the Arab Spring in Paris. For the third consecutive year, Discovery audiences will have the chance to be thrilled by the antics of Danish superhero Antboy, this time in the trilogy’s triumphant final instalment. There’s inspiring documentary in the form of CodeGirl, which follows teams from around the world as they compete in the annual international Technovation Challenge to design an app; and moving German drama Hördur, which tells the story of a troubled teenager who finds hope when she starts working at a riding stables.
The last of these premieres, Alena, will be part of a joint Halloween celebration between Discovery and Dundead, DCA’s horror strand. Set in a Swedish boarding school, it’s a story of teen rivalry and jealousy that slowly ratchets up the tension to a terrifying climax. Also playing for Halloween is Nicolas Roeg’s classic Roald Dahl adaptation The Witches: attendees at both screenings are invited to don their best fancy dress.
One of the most enduringly popular features of the festival is its short film packages, with both Shorts for Wee Ones and Shorts for Middle Ones returning this year with brand new selections of the best short films for ages 3 and 8 plus respectively.
Much of the festival has been programmed and planned with the help of the Discovery Young Ambassadors, a group of film-loving 15 – 19 year-olds who are involved with everything from selecting to marketing and introducing the films. This year, their selections include Alena and My Revolution together with Sleeping Giant, a stylishly filmed coming-of-age drama set in Canada.
Other festival highlights include Long Way North, a beautiful animation following a brave teenager’s journey from Russia to the Arctic to find her grandfather; and a whole host of creative workshops inspired by the festival programme, from the chance to make your own animations to drawing sessions inspired by superheroes and manga comics.
The festival comes to a close on Sun 6 November with a special preview screening of hotly anticipated anime feature Your Name, showing in partnership with Scotland Loves Anime. The screening will follow on the heels of the film’s appearance at the London Film Festival, where it will be the first ever animation to appear in competition.
Mike Tait, Festival Producer, said “It’s been another bumper year for young audience-friendly films from across the world, and we’re delighted that Discovery Film Festival is able to bring a selection of the best of them to DCA to share with our audiences. Take your chance while you can – some of these premieres may be the only screening of the film in any UK cinema this year.”
Beth Bate, Director of DCA, said “We’re delighted to welcome Discovery Film Festival back for another fantastic three weekends, with a brilliant range of films from right across the globe guaranteed to delight younger audiences and their families. We’re particularly proud of the work of our Discovery Young Ambassadors, who’ve worked really hard with our team to help select the programme.

Steps To Unlocking Financial Freedom
Before we dive into the strategies for credit repair, let’s first understand what credit repair entails. Credit repair is the process of improving your creditworthiness by addressing any negative items on your credit report. These negative items can include late payments, collections, bankruptcies, or other factors that can lower your credit score.
Repairing your credit is crucial because a good credit score opens doors to better financial opportunities. It can help you secure loans, lower interest rates, and even increase your chances of getting a job or renting a home. By taking control of your credit, you can take control of your financial future.
One of the first steps in credit repair is to obtain a copy of your credit report from each of the major credit bureaus: Equifax, Experian, and TransUnion. You are entitled to one free copy of your credit report from each bureau every year, so make sure to take advantage of this opportunity. Once you have your credit reports in hand, carefully review them for any errors or inaccuracies.
If you find any errors, you have the right to dispute them with the credit bureaus. You have three options for doing this: online, by mail, or over the phone. The credit bureaus are required to investigate your dispute and correct any inaccuracies within a reasonable amount of time. Keep in mind that this process can take some time, so it’s important to be patient and persistent.
In addition to disputing errors, there are other strategies you can employ to improve your credit score. One such strategy is to make all of your payments on time. Late payments can have a significant negative impact on your credit score, so it’s important to prioritize paying your bills on time. Set up automatic payments or reminders to help you stay on track.
Another strategy is to pay down your debts. High credit utilization, which is the ratio of your credit card balances to your credit limits, can also negatively affect your credit score. By paying down your debts and keeping your credit utilization low, you can improve your creditworthiness.
Furthermore, it’s important to avoid opening new credit accounts unless absolutely necessary. Each time you apply for new credit, it can result in a hard inquiry on your credit report, which can temporarily lower your credit score. Only apply for new credit when you truly need it and have the means to responsibly manage it.
Lastly, be mindful of the types of credit you have. Having a good mix of credit accounts, such as credit cards, installment loans, and a mortgage, can demonstrate to lenders that you can handle different types of credit responsibly. However, it’s important to only take on credit that you can manage and pay off in a timely manner.
Overall, credit repair is a process that requires time, effort, and discipline. By understanding the factors that affect your credit score and implementing strategies to improve it, you can take control of your financial future and open up opportunities for a brighter financial outlook.
6. Establish a Solid Payment History
In addition to paying your bills on time, it’s important to establish a solid payment history. This means consistently making payments on all of your debts, including loans, credit cards, and other forms of credit. By demonstrating a pattern of responsible payment behavior over time, you can gradually improve your credit score.
7. Diversify Your Credit
Having a mix of different types of credit can also positively impact your credit score. This includes a combination of installment loans, such as a car loan or mortgage, and revolving credit, such as credit cards. Lenders like to see that you can handle different types of credit responsibly, so consider diversifying your credit portfolio if you haven’t already.
8. Avoid Opening New Credit Accounts
While it’s important to have a diverse credit portfolio, it’s also crucial to avoid opening too many new credit accounts. Each time you apply for new credit, it can result in a hard inquiry on your credit report, which can temporarily lower your credit score. Only open new credit accounts when necessary and be mindful of the potential impact on your credit.
9. Be Patient and Persistent
Credit repair is not an overnight process. It takes time and persistence to see significant improvements in your credit score. Stay committed to your credit repair strategies and continue to monitor your progress. Celebrate small victories along the way and remember that every positive step you take will bring you closer to your goal of a healthier credit score.
10. Stay Informed and Educated
The world of credit and credit repair is constantly evolving. Stay informed about changes in credit laws, regulations, and best practices. Educate yourself about credit management, credit scores, and how your financial decisions impact your creditworthiness. The more knowledge you have, the better equipped you will be to make informed decisions and improve your credit.
By implementing these strategies and staying committed to improving your credit, you can take control of your financial future and open doors to better opportunities. Remember, credit repair is a journey, and with determination and perseverance, you can achieve the credit score you desire.
One of the key benefits of saving money is the security it provides. Life is full of unexpected events, such as medical emergencies, car repairs, or sudden job losses. Having a savings account can help you weather these storms without having to rely on credit cards or loans. By having a financial cushion, you can avoid going into debt and maintain your peace of mind.
Saving money also enables you to work towards your financial goals. Whether it’s buying a house, starting a business, or going on a dream vacation, having money saved up allows you to make those aspirations a reality. You are no longer constrained by your financial situation and can make decisions based on what you truly want.
Furthermore, saving money is a crucial step in building wealth. By consistently setting aside a portion of your income, you can take advantage of compound interest and investment opportunities. Over time, your savings can grow exponentially, allowing you to create a secure financial future for yourself and your loved ones.
There are various strategies you can employ to save money effectively. One approach is to create a budget and track your expenses. By understanding where your money is going, you can identify areas where you can cut back and save. This could mean reducing discretionary spending, finding ways to lower your bills, or renegotiating your insurance policies.
Another strategy is to automate your savings. Set up automatic transfers from your checking account to a separate savings account each month. This way, you won’t even have to think about saving; it will happen automatically. Treat your savings like a bill that needs to be paid, and prioritize it just as you would any other financial obligation.
Additionally, consider setting specific savings goals. Whether it’s saving for a down payment on a house or building an emergency fund, having a clear target in mind can help you stay motivated and focused. Break your goal down into smaller, achievable milestones, and celebrate your progress along the way. This will make the process of saving money more enjoyable and rewarding.
In conclusion, saving money is a powerful financial tool that provides security, enables you to achieve your goals, and helps you build wealth. By implementing effective savings strategies and making it a priority in your financial journey, you can take control of your future and create a solid foundation for financial success.
6. Track Your Spending
In addition to creating a budget, it’s important to track your spending to ensure that you’re staying on track with your financial goals. Keep a record of every expense, whether it’s a small purchase or a major expenditure. This will give you a clear picture of where your money is going and help you identify areas where you can make adjustments.
7. Shop Smart
When it comes to saving money, being a smart shopper can make a big difference. Take the time to compare prices, look for discounts and deals, and consider buying in bulk when it makes sense. Additionally, consider shopping at thrift stores or online marketplaces for gently used items or discounted goods.
8. Increase Your Income
While cutting expenses is important, increasing your income can also have a significant impact on your savings. Look for opportunities to earn extra money, such as taking on a side gig or freelancing, renting out a spare room, or starting a small business. By diversifying your income streams, you can accelerate your savings and reach your financial goals faster.
9. Build an Emergency Fund
Life is full of unexpected expenses, so it’s crucial to have an emergency fund to fall back on. Aim to save at least three to six months’ worth of living expenses in a separate savings account that is easily accessible. This will provide you with a safety net and peace of mind in case of job loss, medical emergencies, or other unforeseen circumstances.
10. Invest for the Future
While saving money is important, investing can help your money grow and build wealth over time. Consider exploring different investment options, such as stocks, bonds, mutual funds, or real estate. It’s important to do your research and seek professional advice to make informed investment decisions based on your risk tolerance and financial goals.
By implementing these strategies, you can take control of your finances, save money, and build a solid financial foundation. Remember, saving money is a journey, and it requires discipline and consistency. Stay focused on your goals, make adjustments as needed, and celebrate your progress along the way. With time, you’ll be able to achieve financial security and enjoy the peace of mind that comes with it.

Long-term depression (LTD) in CA1 pyramidal neurons can be induced by activation of either N-methyl-d-aspartate receptors (NMDARs) or metabotropic glutamate receptors (mGluRs), both of which elicit changes in synaptic efficacy through α-amino-3-hydroxyl-5-methyl-4-isoxazole-propionate receptor (AMPAR) endocytosis. To address the role of the ubiquitin-proteasome system in regulating AMPAR endocytosis during these forms of LTD, we examined the effects of pharmacological inhibitors of proteasomal degradation and protein ubiquitination on endocytosis of glutamate receptor 1 (GluR1) -containing AMPARs in dissociated rat hippocampal cultures as well as LTD of excitatory synaptic responses in acute rat hippocampal slices. Our findings suggest that the contribution of the ubiquitin-proteasome system to NMDAR-induced vs. mGluR-induced AMPAR endocytosis and the consequent LTD differs significantly. NMDAR-induced AMPAR endocytosis and LTD occur independently of proteasome function but appear to depend, at least in part, on ubiquitination. In contrast, mGluR-induced AMPAR endocytosis and LTD are enhanced by inhibition of proteasomal degradation, as well as by the inhibitor of protein ubiquitination. Furthermore, the decay of mGluR-induced membrane depolarization and Erk activation is delayed following inhibition of either ubiquitination or proteasomal degradation. These results suggest that, although NMDAR-dependent LTD may utilize ubiquitin as a signal for AMPAR endocytosis, mGluR-induced signaling and LTD are limited by a feedback mechanism that involves the ubiquitin-proteasome system.

Vinous – 98
The 2008 Amarone della Valpolicella is compelling. With a little air, the tannins begin to soften, releasing a myriad of intense dark aromas and flavors. Bittersweet chocolate, cloves, violets, plums and blackberry jam cover every inch of the palate in a stunning, headspinning Amarone that captures all of the best qualities of the year. When Romano Dal Forno’s wines are on, there is nothing quite like them, and that is certainly the case here. If opened young, the 2008 needs a little air. Actually, a lot of air.
Anticipated maturity: 2016-2033
Robert Parker – 95
To be released in early 2014, the 2008 Amarone della Valpolicella (with fruit sourced from the high density Monte Lodoletta vineyard) opens with immense darkness and the kind of midnight impenetrability you never see on any color wheel for fine wine. Its off the charts appearance is followed by similarly unique aromatic intensity and versatility that spans from blackberry syrup and candied prune to chewing tobacco, black peppercorn and rain-soaked asphalt. This is but a baby that will require loads of time in your cellar before it enters its prime drinking window. Because Dal Forno did not make Amarone in 2007, the wait will seem that much longer. Having said that, this wine is very different from the 2006 Amarone despite the fact 2006 and 2008 were relatively similar cool vintages overall. I distinctly remember the impossible tightness and astringency of the tannins in 2006 when tasted at the same young stage in the wine’s life. The 2008 Amarone, on the other hand, is much softer and a tad more approachable in contrast. Ultimately, this wine promises a graceful, steady and long evolution. Drink: 2017-2035.

Crossing the Bridge at Billanook College
Many great works of children’s literature include a threshold moment. There is the wardrobe into Narnia, platform 9 ¾ for Hogwarts and Alice’s rabbit hole to her Wonderland. These passages
take children into new worlds full of possibility, challenge and imagination.
The Irish poet John O’Donohue talked about thresholds as “a place where you move into more critical and challenging and worthy fullness… a line which separates two territories of spirit, and …
very often how we cross is the key thing.” When we take time to consider our threshold rituals we allow new possibilities to emerge, we leave space to be transformed.
At the end of the school year we notice many threshold moments across our network of Uniting Church Schools. Graduations, Farewell Services and Celebrations are rituals which allow individuals and communities to pass into new phases of life.
At Billanook College, Year 8 students take part in a very special tradition called ‘Crossing the Bridge’. Families gather to watch as each student crosses the bridge over the river in the middle of the
school campus. The ritual symbolizes the transition to the next stage of their schooling journey. This rite of passage acknowledges our human need to mark and celebrate different stages of our lives within our loving communities.
Many students, teachers and school leaders say farewell to their communities at the end of a school year. The Synod of Victoria and Tasmania farewelled two long-serving Principals at the end of 2015.
Bruce Simons has left after 16 years as Principal of Hamilton and Alexandra College and Kerry Bolger retired as Principal of Cornish College. Our thoughts are with them as they transition to the next stage of their lives. May many new possibilities emerge.

According to recent data, Miami ranks among the top cities in the United States with the highest number of Bitcoin startups per capita. This indicates that not only is there a strong interest in cryptocurrencies within the city but also a thriving ecosystem of entrepreneurs who are actively developing new technologies and businesses related to Bitcoin.
Moreover, this growing presence of Bitcoin in Miami has also led to positive economic implications. The increased adoption of cryptocurrency has brought additional revenue to local businesses that accept Bitcoin as payment method, thereby boosting their overall sales. Additionally, hosting Bitcoin conferences and events attracts visitors from other cities and countries who spend money on accommodations, dining out, transportation services, and other tourism-related activities. Consequently, these developments contribute to job creation and stimulate economic growth within the city.
Furthermore, Miami’s regulatory environment plays a crucial role in fostering this growing acceptance of Bitcoin. The city has taken proactive steps towards creating clear guidelines for businesses operating with cryptocurrencies while ensuring consumer protection against fraud or illegal activities. Such regulations provide confidence to both users and investors alike while establishing Miami as a safe haven for conducting legitimate cryptocurrency transactions.
Overall, with its increasing number of Bitcoin-friendly establishments, thriving community of entrepreneurs focused on cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin per capita compared to other US cities., positive economic impacts through increased revenue generation for businesses accepting Bitcoins ,and supportive regulatory framework aimed at enhancing security measures; it is evident that Miami holds great potential as a center for Bitcoin innovation and growth. As the adoption of Bitcoin continues to expand globally, Miami has positioned itself as a city at the forefront of this digital revolution. | <urn:uuid:a6d53d8f-f781-45d2-9632-928c2185f377> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://cryptobeginnersclub.com/bitcoin-miami-fastcompany/ | 2024-04-17T09:46:01Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296817146.37/warc/CC-MAIN-20240417075330-20240417105330-00667.warc.gz | en | 0.944413 | 2,603 |
GROTON — For years, plans to redevelop five vacant school buildings in Groton have inched ahead, but with the first project — a 280-unit apartment complex — set to break ground as soon as next year, town officials say they hope that new developments will attract many of the thousands of people who work in Groton, but live elsewhere.
The Town of Groton owns five vacant school properties it would like to sell to developers.
To date, developers have proposed converting two schools into apartments, one into office space and to demolish another to make way for a new mixed-use community with apartments.
The town has received applications for the fifth, Pleasant Valley Elementary, after soliciting bids earlier this year, but the town has not yet selected a preferred developer.
It will be another year at least before work begins at Colonel Ledyard Elementary School. In October, developer Bill Bellock presented plans to build about 80 new apartment units on the site, which has been empty since the school closed in 2008.
At the William Seely School, DonMar Development plans to clear the site to build a 280-unit apartment complex in spring or summer of 2021, if the plans are approved by the town’s land use boards.
In an interview with CT Examiner, Town of Groton Director of Planning and Development Jon Reiner and Economic and Community Development Manager Paige Bronk said there is momentum for development in Groton, especially for multifamily housing as developers share the town’s hope that they can get people to live and work in Groton, rather than commuting in to Pfizer or Electric Boat.
Reiner and Bronk spoke with the Examiner about the need for housing in Groton, how the request for proposals process brings in fresh ideas town officials wouldn’t have thought of otherwise, and what is driving development in Groton.
“Capturing” the commuters
Bill Bellock of Bellsite Development, the preferred developer for the former Colonel Ledyard Elementary School who focuses on redeveloping small buildings for residential use, presented initial plans in October for developing the vacant single-story building and surrounding land into a 70 to 80-unit multifamily housing complex.
If approved, the school building would contain about 12 units, depending on how Bellock is able to convert the gymnasium and offices.
Bronk said new apartments are one of the most important economic drivers in town because Groton generates jobs for the region, but most of the people who work in Groton commute from somewhere else.
“We have a concern that most of our employees are commuters, so we try to capture the workforce and convert them into residents,” Bronk said.
Reiner said the rapid growth of the Electric Boat workforce is what’s driving the market for the redevelopment of city-owned school buildings into apartments. That’s especially true for Colonel Ledyard, which is just a half-mile from the Electric Boat campus, where parking is already a major concern, he said.
“We’ve already heard concerns from people about, ‘Well, what about the traffic?’ Well, there’s also the potential for a lot of walking or biking to the campus,” Reiner said. “If many of those people end up being [Electric Boat] employees, parking is so difficult around EB that to have something where you’re a half-mile from the campus, that’s very attractive.”
Reiner and Bronk said they didn’t seek out apartment developers for the Colonel Ledyard or any other school property, but that’s what most of the projects have been – aside from Fitch Middle School, which is now a community center, and the former Groton Heights School where homegrown maritime surveillance technology startup ThayerMahan plans to develop office space.
“No doubt, we are seeing in Groton tremendous demand for multi-family housing and developers looking to fill that,” Bronk said.
That demand for housing is reflected in preferred proposals for other vacant school buildings in Groton. At the Seely School, DonMar Development is currently seeking approval from the Town of Groton’s Inland Wetlands Agency and will need planning and zoning approval before it can start clearing the property to build about 280 new “amenity-rich” apartments, Reiner said.
Pending land use approval, that construction would probably begin in the spring or summer of 2021, he said.
North of I-95, the Seely School is two miles away from Electric Boat and doesn’t provide the walkable access for its employees like Colonel Ledyard does, but Reiner said DonMar has been in contact with the company about setting up shuttle service from the complex to the campus. Current designs for the complex set aside space for shuttles for pick up and drop off, he said.
“If a significant amount of EB employees do end up renting there, I would think they’re going to have some more thorough conversations with Electric Boat about some of the commuting patterns,” he said.
RFPs yield new ideas
While in many cases, Paige and Bronk have been on the same page with developers looking to develop multifamily housing catered to the town’s growing workforce, the point of the request for proposal process is for town officials to benefit from new ideas the “market” is generating, Bronk said.
The plans to redevelop Groton Heights, which opened to bids in 2018, are evidence that the RFP process can bring in new ideas that town planners haven’t thought of to redevelop vacant buildings, Bronk said. Less than a mile from Electric Boat, the roughly 30,000 square foot building atop a hill overlooking downtown New London from across the Thames River could have been another good option to build new housing.
Instead, it will be “Phase One” of the world headquarters for ThayerMahan, a local company that has grown from three to 60 employees in about four years with an average salary of $85,000, Bronk said.
“We’re always looking for creative ideas and business demands that we can try to partner with,” Bronk said. “If we had prescribed a certain use, I can certainly attest that it would not have been an undersea robotics company.”
Like all the proposals, the ThayerMahan headquarters is still in the planning and approval phase. The town does have a signed letter of intent with ThayerMahan, but the company hasn’t received any approval to start work. The Groton Town Council having just held a public hearing on the proposal on Dec. 1, and the City of Groton’s planning and zoning approval process still to come, Reiner said.
Even with the first phase of the project still pending approval, the company is already looking at phase two – another 30,000 square foot building that will look similar to the vacant school building, Bronk said.
“We would have two roughly 30,000-square-foot buildings to deal with research and development for undersea technology operating right here in Groton,” he said.
Reiner said each property the town sells goes through a multi-step process that takes years from start to finish.
For the vacant Pleasant Valley Elementary school building, the town issued an RFP this year and received proposals in October. A review committee has done some screening of those proposals and interviewed a short list of candidates, and the town should have a preferred developer some time in early 2021, who will then propose a plan for land use approval, he said.
“We’re not just trying to sell this so someone can sit on it and land bank it, we’re trying to see these properties redeveloped into something that’s going to be unique and beneficial to the town,” Reiner said.
Selling a piece of town-owned property to a developer is more complicated than a typical real estate transaction, because the town is looking at the proposals for development in addition to the price a developer is willing to pay for it, Bronk said.
“We deal with RFPs because we’re more interested in the overall quality of the development in terms of what’s the proposed use, the developer, the time frame,” Bronk said. “The financial offering is of concern to us, but we’re looking at other variables.”
What’s driving development in Groton
Electric Boat has grown rapidly as it has secured multi-billion contracts to build a new class of submarine for the U.S. Navy, but Reiner and Bronk say that isn’t the whole story.
“There’s a surge of redevelopment pressure because of the activity happening at General Dynamics Electric Boat, so we’re seeing developers wanting to move these projects forward, but it’s something we’ve been setting the stage on for over five years,” Reiner said.
While it’s great to have a strong employment base with Electric Boat and Pfizer, Reiner said the diversity of small businesses also drives development because those businesses make Groton a better place to live. Downtown Mystic has become a “foodie destination,” also driving development in Groton, he said.
Mystic is home to a planned school redevelopment as well. Respler Homes was selected from a 2017 proposal to redevelop the former Mystic Oral School into a mixed-use development featuring shops, working spaces, a public recreation center in the Pratt Building and about 750 apartment units.
A zoning change to allow the development was presented to the town Planning and Zoning Commission in November, and the project will also require tax increment financing, Reiner said.
Along with people moving in to fill the new jobs at Electric Boat, Bronk said Groton has seen an uptick in residents who have fled big cities like New York and Boston during the pandemic to work remotely. The sale prices of homes in Mystic in particular have risen significantly during the pandemic, though it’s not clear what the long-term effect will be, he said.
“We’ve been trying to attract more people to live here, not just work here, but live here and invest their finances here,” Bronk said. “My gut tells me next year, we’re probably going to see a real positive benefit of that, and our retail should benefit. Hopefully we get through this winter with our restaurants, but the restaurant industry long term should benefit as well.”
Bronk and Reiner said they’ve been working towards redevelopment of the school properties since they started working with the town about six years ago.
Reiner said that the groundwork of developing an infrastructure for economic development takes time.
But now, with several projects taking shape, Bronk said that developers who passed on earlier RFPs are placing bids for more recent projects like Pleasant Valley.
“Success breeds success,” Bronk said. “We’re getting more responses to RFPs, and higher quality. So the development community sees momentum in Groton. Maybe they pass on submitting a proposal for one, but once they’re following Groton, they’re aware of the next RFP, or maybe private developments in the area, and I think that we got on the map.” | <urn:uuid:8860bf77-067d-47fe-bec8-cb1d5e061060> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://ctexaminer.com/2020/12/09/redevelopment-in-groton-picks-up-speed/ | 2024-04-17T08:32:16Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296817146.37/warc/CC-MAIN-20240417075330-20240417105330-00667.warc.gz | en | 0.967122 | 2,387 |
Status and phase
The goal of this clinical research study is to learn if ilorasertib (ABT-348) can help to control CDKN2A-deficient cancer. CDKN2A deficiency is a type of mutation (a genetic change). The safety of this drug will also be studied.
Study Drug Administration: Each study cycle is 28 days. You will take ABT-348 by mouth 2 times each day on Days 1, 8, and 15 of each cycle. The first dose you take on these days is called Dose 1, and the second dose you take each day is called Dose 2. You will take Dose 1 (the earlier dose) of ABT-348 with 4 ounces (about ½ cup) of water. You should fast (not eat or drink anything except water) for 8 hours before taking this dose. You need to fast before this dose because eating food may affect the levels of the study drug that is able to enter your system. You will be allowed to have a light snack 2 hours after Dose 1, and then you may eat anything you like 4 hours after the dose. You should take Dose 2 (the later dose) as close as possible to 6 hours after the first dose, but not less than 6 hours after the first dose. You do not need to fast before Dose 2. You may eat and drink normally around this dose. Study Visits: On Day 1 of each cycle, and on Days 8 and 15 of Cycles 1 and 2: You will have a physical exam. Blood (about 2 teaspoons) will be drawn for routine tests. You will have an EKG (Day 1 of Cycle 2 only). For Cycle 3 and after, you will have these EKGs repeated every 3 cycles (Cycles 6, 9, 12, and so on). On Day 1 of all cycles, urine will be collected for routine tests. On Day 1 of Cycles 2 and beyond, if you can become pregnant, blood (about 1 teaspoon) or urine will be collected for a pregnancy test. Every 8 weeks, you will have a chest x-ray, bone scan, MRI/CT or PET/CT to check the status of the disease. You may be able to have some of these tests/procedures performed at a local lab, clinic, or doctor's office that is closer to your home. The results of these tests will be sent to the study doctor for review. The study doctor or research staff will discuss this option with you in more detail. Length of Study Drug Administration: You may continue taking the study drug for as long as the doctor thinks it is in your best interest. You will no longer be able to take the study drug if the disease gets worse, if intolerable side effects occur, or if you are unable to follow study directions. You participation on this study will be over after your last dose of study drug. This is an investigational study. ABT-348 is not FDA approved or commercially available. It is currently being used for research purposes only. The study doctor can explain how the study drug is designed to work. Up to 65 participants will be enrolled in this study. All will take part at MD Anderson.

Recently, A novel surgical technique was illustrated by Elhassan BT et al. in 2016 utilizing the Hemi-hamate autograft for the reconstruction of scaphoid bone proximal pole non-union with avascular necrosis. The technique showed promising results but is still limited to case reports and anatomical studies In this study, we aim to: Evaluate the surgical technique steps and suggest any possible modifications to the original description of the technique. Assessment of clinical outcomes of this novel technique in terms of; bone union rate, time to union, and wrist function. Report any complications of the usage of the proximal hamate for the proximal pole of the scaphoid reconstruction.
Almost 70 percent of all carpal bone fractures occur in the scaphoid bone, with an overall incidence of 12 per 100,000 of the general population. About 20 percent of scaphoid bone fractures are in the proximal third of the scaphoid, where the rates of ischemia were reported to be as high as 100 percent. The risk of avascular necrosis (AVN) and/or non-union that in due course end in arthrosis with the fractures involving the proximal pole of the scaphoid is high and represents a challenging surgical problem, and even more challenging when the proximal pole is fragmented. Several techniques were described for the surgical management of non-union of the proximal pole of scaphoid, including non-vascularised and vascularized bone grafts, each has characteristic pros and cons. Drawbacks with all of these techniques included donor-site morbidity and/or the requirement of microvascular skill in the case of a vascularized bone graft. The Hemi-Hamate graft is the closest anatomically and histologically to the scaphoid compared to the rib costochondral and the medial femoral condyle grafts. The proximal part of the hamate has an analogous sizing and morphology to the proximal pole of the scaphoid bone. Both have a similar depth (palmar-dorsal breadth), width (radial-ulnar breadth), and sagittal radius of curvature. Osteotomized proximal hamate with a maximum graft length at a level proximal to the hamulus distally did not adversely affect the lunate-capitate or the scaphoid-lunate kinematics during the wrist joint flexion-extension and the radial-ulnar deviation. Since the technique was first described in 2016 only a single case-report study existed in the literature regarding the H-H autograft. Elhassan BT et al. reported that at 3.5-years follow-up the patient was free-pain, the wrist range of motion improved significantly and the Mayo wrist score was 90 which is coherent to an excellent outcome and, no symptoms of midcarpal instability were detected during 3.5-years follow-up. The first case series published in the literature regarding the use of the Hemi-Hamate autograft was published by Saruhan S et al. in 2021; the study had a limited number of participants (4 cases) and, it was a retrospective study. In these four cases, the union was achieved, the pain was decreased, and there were no signs of donor-site morbidity at the final follow-up. All probable complications have not been elucidated yet given the infancy stage of the technique description. Therefore, we decided to conduct a prospective case series study to report the outcomes of this newly developed promising technique and outline any possible drawbacks. The investigators believe that this study will add significantly to the orthopedic literature given the infancy stage of this technique description. Objectives: Evaluate the surgical technique steps and suggest any possible modifications to the original description of the technique. Assessment of clinical outcomes of this novel technique in terms of; bone union rate, time to union, and wrist function. Report any complications of the usage of the proximal hamate for the proximal pole of the scaphoid reconstruction.

Chelsea have been chasing after Denzel Dumfries throughout the summer but, on top of the lofty demands by Inter, the player himself isn’t overly enthusiastic about the move. The Dutchman needed some time to adapt to Serie A when he joined last season. With the World Cup just around the corner, he would gladly avoid going through the same process again, Corriere dello Sport informs.
In addition, the Blues reached agreement to extend Cesar Azpilicueta’s contract, who previously seemed headed to Barcelona. They could be set on the right flank thanks to the versatile Spaniard and Reece James. Instead, they are more incomplete in other roles and will probably focus on them in the remaining portion of the window.
Chelsea are surely high on Dumfries, but such acquisition is more likely for January or next summer altogether. Inter would surely be content with this outcome, as they don’t want to give him up if not for a very sizeable offer.
Moreover, the Nerazzurri would like to avoid any major departure after the start of the season on August 13th. Therefore, the Pensioners have just a handful of days to set up the deal. According to Alfredo Pedullà, La Beneamata would want certainties about being able to sign Wilfried Singo from Torino before letting go of the ex-PSV man.
Our Take on Dumfries and Chelsea
The Dutchman probably would need less time to adjust to Premier League than he required for Serie A. Though, with a stud like James already in their ranks, another specialist might be an overkill. A large investment makes more sense for Manchester United, which could use some help at the position.

Serie A was back this weekend after the international break and the first day of action was rounded of by Sassuolo and Lazio in Emilia Romagna. The Neroverdi have already claimed wins over Inter and Juventus this season and wanted to collect another big scalp against Lazio tonight. But a disappointing defensive display meant they fell victim to Anderson and Alberto’s double whammy. Here’s how things went at the Citta del Tricolore
The game started with a few half chances for the visiting team. Felipe Anderson skipped past challenges out wide and Luis Alberto gave the Brazilian plenty of service. Alberto got on the end of a return pass from Anderson but couldn’t direct it goalwards. This rhythm continued for the next few minutes with Sassuolo penned in their own half. As they tried to escape they developed a bad habit of giving the ball away straight to the Lazio front-line. Ruan Tressoldi passed to Alberto’s feet and he offloaded to Anderson who should’ve finished from close range.
Anderson and Alberto’s Double Whammy:
An oddly familair situation occured ten minutes later as Tressoldi couldn’t get his feet sorted out again and was dispossessed by Alberto. This time Taty Castellanos picked up the ball and found Anderson who made no mistake at the second time of asking. Seeing the Neroverdi defence in chaos must have been a sweet sight for Lazio’s creative fulcrum – Luis Alberto – and he made sure not to miss out. The ball was drilled in low from the wing and neither centre half seemed capable of clearing it. A real gift was presented to the Spanish midfielder and he stayed composed to dink it over Andrea Consigli. Sassuolo’s supporters were disapointed at half time and they had every right to be, their team hadn’t registered a single shot at all, never mind one on goal in the first period. Andrea Pinamonti was a spectator upfront in what was a disastrous 45 minutes. You would Imagine Alessio Dionisi’s Team talk at the break was quite a grim affair.
Sassuolo Try to Fight Back:
Sassuolo had nothing to lose so endevoured to fight back. A few shots flashed wide or over the crossbar but the Biancoceleste clean sheet remained intact. Up the other end Manuel Lazzari was enjoying his opportunities on the counter attack and one of his crosses gave the fresh legs of Danilo Cataldi something to hit. The Italian struck sweetly on the bounce off the post, almost closing the game off. There was drama and controversy soon after though.
Provedel Lives Life on the Edge:
Just after the hour mark what should have been a harmless long ball became a point of controversy likely to be debated and reviewed over the weekend. Provedel came to claim before his two defenders but strayed outside the box. It looked as if Lazio would finish with ten men as Marco Di bello brandished the red card. VAR deliberations followed and eventually to the shock of the home side the card was rescinded. On closer inspection it was established while the ‘keeper’s body was ouside the box the ball hovered over the white line as he reached to grasp it. Life on the edge.
As the half progressed Sassuolo’s attack grew in confidence.One of the brightest sparks for the Emilia-Romagna club was the young Frenchman Armand Lauriente. Brave enough to run at defenders he caught out Patric and Lazzari on occasion. The likeliest route back looked like it went through him but this never materialized. The closest they came was Domenico Berardi’s shot straight into the Goalie’s arms.
Matias Vecino replaced Matteo Guendouzi to reinforce the starting 11 but he should have finished off the game with eight minutes remaining. Another Anderson bullet shot across the box and the Uruguayan got good contact but couldn’t steer it between the posts with his instep. The final few minutes were full of corners and offsides. In fairness to Sassuolo they kept persevering well into injury time but the story of their night was the lack of quality.
A defence that looked on the verge of collapse every time it was tested will not be an easy thing to fix for Dionisi during the week but some passages of play left an awful lot to be desired. Perhaps if Provedel had been given his marching orders we would be discussing a different game but in top flight football it is the fine margins that make the difference and Laziali will be thankful they got the job done thanks to Anderson and Alberto’s double whammy against a team that proved unbeatable for two powerhouses so far. | <urn:uuid:8b29bc66-1edc-479a-8a2d-181b0fdd4743> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://cultofcalcio.com/serie-a-was-back-this-weekend-after-the-international-break-and-the-first-day-of-action-was-rounded-of-by-sassuolo-and-lazio-in-emilia-romagna/ | 2024-04-17T10:12:50Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296817146.37/warc/CC-MAIN-20240417075330-20240417105330-00667.warc.gz | en | 0.973336 | 1,006 |

AEO (Autorised Economic Operator)
The AEO Certificate is a certificate issued by customs and awarded to companies that are internationally active. An AEO certificate offers companies advantages in international trade, like less strict checks on bordercrossing trade, whereby potential delays at borders decreases.
In order to obtain the Authorised Economic Operator status, a company has to comply with numerous safety criteria. These criteria are based on the EU Community Customs Regulations and the applicable EU Directives.
There are three kinds of AEO-certificates:
- certificate AEO-customs simplifications

This article analyzes the disturbing trend in India of launching prosecution against cyber crimes on the basis of laws that do not exist. A clarification from the Department of Information Technology (DIT) of the Government of India was sought in this regard but there was no reply. The net result is that we are witnessing prosecutions that are not justified by any law in India. This situation shows that there is a dire need of training of police personnel that is presently missing all over India. Cyber crimes require good techno-legal knowledge that is presently missing. We have to do much more than mere “declarations of sufficiency” and claim of opening of cyber crimes police stations and cells.
The Mumbai police registered a case of “cyber terrorism” when a threat email was sent to the BSE and NSE. It can proudly claim to be the first in the State since an amendment to the Information Technology Act has been proposed. The bigger question is how can police consider, much less utlilze, the provisions of a law that has “not come into force yet”? Till the Information Technology Amendment Act, 2008 is “notified” by the Central Government under section 1(2) of the proposed amendments, the amendments cannot come into force. And till the amendments cannot come into force, we cannot apply the provisions contained in it. Then how come the Mumbai police is booking the accused under the amended law? | <urn:uuid:073e8d14-bb5c-49a2-9c72-0c7113fe6371> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://cyberlawsinindia.blogspot.com/2009_06_04_archive.html | 2024-04-17T09:12:28Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296817146.37/warc/CC-MAIN-20240417075330-20240417105330-00667.warc.gz | en | 0.96868 | 290 |
Rodents can be a serious problem for homeowners. Not only can they cause damage to your home, but they can also pose significant health risks to you and your family. Proper rodent proofing can prevent rodents from entering your home and wreaking havoc. Houston is home to a variety of rodents, including mice, rats, and squirrels, making it essential for homeowners to take preventative measures to keep these pests at bay. In this blog post, we will explore the importance of rodent proofing your Houston home and provide you with tips on how to effectively keep your home safe and healthy.
Why is rodent proofing important?
Rodents can cause damage to your home by chewing through walls, electrical wires, and insulation. This can cause fires, electrical shorts, or water damage. Additionally, rodents can carry diseases that can be transmitted to humans, such as salmonella, hantavirus, and Lymphocytic Choriomeningitis (LCMV), which can lead to serious health complications. Rodent-proofing your home is important to protect both the structure of your home and the health of your family.
Seal entry points
Rodents can enter your home through small cracks and holes around doorways, windows, and the foundation. Sealing these entry points is crucial to prevent them from gaining access to your home. Use caulking to seal small cracks and holes, install door sweeps, and repair or replace damaged weather stripping. Additionally, install screens on vents and chimney tops to prevent rodents from crawling through.
Eliminate food sources
Rodents are attracted to food. Make sure to eliminate food sources inside and outside your home. Store food in airtight containers, clean up spilled food and crumbs, and make sure garbage cans are tightly sealed. Keep pet food in sealed containers, and feed pets during set times to prevent leaving food out for extended periods.
Keep a clean home
A clean home means fewer places for rodents to hide and fewer food sources for them to eat. Keep counters, floors, and all surfaces clean and free of food debris. Regularly clean out pantries, cabinets, and closets, getting rid of expired food items and clutter that could provide shelter for rodents.
Hire a professional
Lastly, it is essential to hire a professional for rodent proofing services. A professional exterminator can inspect your home for signs of rodents and provide effective treatments to prevent future infestations. They also have the knowledge and equipment to safely and effectively remove rodents from your home.
Rodents may seem like a minor inconvenience, but they can pose significant risks to your home and health. Rodent-proofing your Houston home is an essential part of maintaining a safe and healthy living environment. By sealing entry points, eliminating food sources, keeping a clean home, and hiring a professional, you can effectively keep rodents at bay. Remember, rodents can be persistent, but with the right preventative measures, you can successfully prevent infestations and keep your home safe and healthy.

I've enjoyed the professionalism of each and every technician that has been to my home. They have all offered good advice on pest management and have been easy to talk to. They have all been efficient and kind when servicing my home and yard. They all were more than happy to work with me regarding a koi pond that I once had that was oh-so-delicate in regards to the chemicals that the company uses.And I have found all of this to be reasonably priced. So much so, that when my family and I moved from Cypress to Fulshear, I was thrilled to find that they would service my new home. I've been a customer for almost 20 years now, and have had no urge to seek another pest control company. Highly recommend this group!

A Massachusetts judge has rejected Aerosmith drummer Joey Kramer's lawsuit against his bandmates. Earlier this week, Kramer filed suit against the band claiming he was forced to audition to keep his job following surgery and was deemed too weak to perform. Kramer specifically took umbrage at being not permitted to play at the band's MusiCares honor on Friday (January 24th) or the Grammys on Sunday (January 27th). TMZ posted footage of Kramer being turned away from an Aerosmith Grammy rehearsal.
Ultimate Classic Rock reported that the ruling specifically cited that despite Kramer's claims, he is not entitled to perform, stating in part: “Given that Kramer has not played with the band in six months and the dearth of available rehearsal time before the upcoming performances, Kramer has not shown a realistic alternative course of action sufficient to protect the band's business interests . . . As Kramer concedes, nothing in the parties’ Agreement creates specific rights or obligations with respect to the procedures to be followed when a member of the band desires to return from a temporary incapacity or disability. The Agreement is simply silent on that issue.”
It went on to read: “Notwithstanding Kramer’s assertion that the band’s past practice has been to permit a member to return with no questions asked, the parties’ affidavits suggest a good faith dispute whether it’s in Aerosmith’s best interest to allow Kramer to participate in the unique MusiCares and Grammy Award performances, which will occur in mere days. The defendants have expressed a willingness to allow Kramer to return to the residency performances in the spring, following an adequate opportunity for the band to rehearse.” | <urn:uuid:81371b92-d92a-4b10-9b25-a3b4938e2773> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://d349.cms.socastsrm.com/2020/01/23/judge-dismisses-joey-kramers-lawsuit-against-aerosmith-bandmates/ | 2024-04-17T08:37:40Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296817146.37/warc/CC-MAIN-20240417075330-20240417105330-00667.warc.gz | en | 0.958511 | 348 |
There are several lists of “Top 10” WordPress plugins around the Internet. Most of them, however, refer to the best or most popular plugins. Guess what, I’ve had enough of Akismet, Adsense Deluxe, Related Entries and company!
Jokes apart, those plugins are certainly awesome, but there are many others out there that can be life savers, and people often neglect them. Below you will the Top 10 Underrated WordPress plugins; if you think there is a plugin missing on the list just post a comment.
1. Custom Querry String
WordPress is a very flexible platform, but regulating the number of posts that are supposed to be displayed on the different pages is quite difficult. Most of the times you will want to display a limited number of posts on the Homepage while displaying a larger list for the categories, archives or search results pages, and this is not possible through the control panel. The solution for this problem is the Custom Querry String plugin, which allows you to configure this number individually for each page type.
2. Head Meta Description
While the Meta Keywords Tag is no longer used by most search engines, the Meta Description Tag still has some influence. Having the same Description Tag on all your pages, however, might be inneficient and send part of your website to the supplemental hell. This plugin is extremely easy to install and it will create a dynamic Meta Description Tag for every page on your blog, based on post excerpts or on the first words of the page.
3. Clean Archives
Most blogs have a “Monthly Archives” section on their sidebar, displaying a huge list of months and wasting some precious space. A more efficient structure for your archives would be a single page where all the posts are displayed, month by month. That is exactly what this plugin will do (you can see an example here). Notice that you might need the plugin below to install this one successfully.
Many plugins or WordPress features require that you run some PHP code. When you need to use those features or plugins inside static pages or posts, however, WordPress will not recognize the code. The solution for this problem is the Exec-PHP plugin. Once installed the plugin will enable PHP code on virtually all the pages of your blog. There are similar plugins available, but this one is the most reliable.
5. Enforce www. Preference
If your site can be accessed through http://www.domain.com and http://domain.com you might have some problems over the long run. Most search engines treat those addresses as two different domains, spliting your backlink count. In order to solve this issue you need to setup a 301 Permanent Redirect. The are several ways to setup this redirect, but if you are not familiar with PHP or if your host is not Linux based (for the .htaccess file) this plugin represents the simplest one. You just need to activate it and all the visitors and search bots will get redirected to the address that is specified on the WordPress control panel.
6. Chunk URLs
Ever experienced someone posting a huge URL on your comment section? Those long strings are not only ugly, but they might also break the design of your website on certain browsers. This plugin will trunk those long URLs into smaller ones, and you can even specify the amount of characters that the output should contain.
Sploggers are feed stealers are spreading out like fire. The first measure to protect your content is to add a copyright notice to your feed, possibly with a link pointing to your site. Sig2feed is a very light plugin that will do just that.
This plugin used to be called Feedburner Feed Replacement. It was so popular and efficient that Feedburner itself decided to buy it from the developer. Basically it will forward all the requests for your WordPress feed to Feedburner. It is very useful if you started using Feedburner after having some subscribers, or if you want to make sure that your feed statistics are completely accurate.
9. Jerome’s Keywords
This plugin is very similar to the Ultimate Tag Warrior, but it is much more user friendly. Once the plugin is installed you will be able to tag individual posts and to create an internal tag system and tag clouds. Secondly you can also use it to generate a dynamic Meta Keywords Tag.
WP-Cache is a very robust plugin that will increase the responsiveness of your website and reduce the server load. It is also very useful to handle sudden burts in traffic coming from social bookmarking sites. The plugin basically creates static versions of your pages and serves them without querrying the MySQL database. | <urn:uuid:33e5d4c1-b5e5-4b5d-8ce4-3128cf1ff25b> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://dailyblogtips.com/top-10-underrated-wordpress-plugins/ | 2024-04-17T09:11:56Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296817146.37/warc/CC-MAIN-20240417075330-20240417105330-00667.warc.gz | en | 0.923703 | 956 |

a note on bias
Final thoughts before we start our romp through the Bible.
I’ve received an email from a Christian from Iowa assuring me that, as an atheist, I cannot possibly see the Bible objectively and therefore should give up the pretense of trying.
I assured her she was right on one count—I am not objective. Neither are Christians, of course, but that does not disqualify their opinions on the book. What I do is recognize their subjective bias and compensate for it. The old grain of salt.
In the course of eleven years teaching critical thinking, I ran into the bias question over and over. Students research capital punishment or gun control would throw up their hands. “I don’t know who to believe! Everyone on both sides is biased!” What they meant is “Everyone has an opinion!”
They had the common collegiate misconception that only neutral, dispassionate voices are worth listening to.
I asked whether the views expressed by Martin Luther King, Jr. in “Letter from Birmingham Jail” were invalidated by the fact that he was not neutral on the question of racism, whether Simone de Beauvoir’s The Second Sex was useless because she came down firmly on one side of the feminist question, and whether Christ’s bias toward mercy and forgiveness made him hopelessly irrelevant as a source of ethical guidance.
That always snapped things into focus.
The trick is to recognize that “bias”—an inclination to one side of a question or the other—is nearly universal, and is not in and of itself a bad thing. Most thinking and engaged persons will be “biased” in all questions that have any significance to them. Disregard those voices and we’ve limited ourselves to the apathetic and the stupid—probably not the best plan. The key is not to pretend we are unbiased, but to chose our leanings on the basis of evidence and ethics, to recognize the direction and extent of the bias, to reveal that bias as fully as possible, and to do our level best to ensure that it doesn’t blind us to good information from other perspectives.
When assessing others, we need to determine not whether they are biased, but whether their bias is so controlling that their ability to contribute to the conversation is disabled.
The most pernicious form of bias is confirmation bias – the tendency to see evidence that confirms the conclusions we’ve already reached. Scientific research has to build in all kinds of safeguards to control this one.
Engaging the Bible, interestingly, brings out confirmation bias in two different directions at once for me. My ever-increasing horror at its contents leads me to ever-less-charitable interpretations, something I must be aware of and guard against. But the far older bias that the Bible is the “Good Book” also leads me, and many others, to gloss over some genuine outrages because they are so very familiar. I’d heard the serpent-and-apple story hundreds of times before it occurred to me that Eve’s “sin”—the one that caused the Fall, the one that damned humanity to a separation from God—was one of my two highest values. No, not a hankering for apples; her sin was the desire to know.
And so, by way of full disclosure before we dive into bible study together, let me reveal my position on the Bible so you can take my input with a grain of Lot’s wife.
I am not neutral. As a result of many years of careful thought, attendance of churches in nine denominations, and conversations with theologians, ministers, priests, lay believers, nonbelievers, Thomas Paine, C.S. Lewis, Karen Armstrong, Don Bierle, Bertrand Russell, A.N. Wilson, and dozens more, I’ve concluded that the Bible is a mixture of good, neutral, and bad; that the good elements are easily found elsewhere in far less compromised forms; and that on balance, the overall influence of the book on humanity has been and continues to be so appallingly negative, in subtle and unsubtle ways, as to make me wish it reduced to a museum piece, a sobering object lesson in misplaced affections.
So go into this bible blog series with full knowledge that I’m a biased, wild-eyed extremist. I get bothered by little things, like the Good Book ordering believers to kill me (Lev 24:16, 2 Chron 15:12-13) and my wife (Deut 22:20-21) and my children (Deut 21:18-21, Mt 15:4). I am inexplicably bothered by its exaltation of obedience over autonomy and ignorance over knowledge. It’s too typical of me to fret about such trivia and characterize such a Good Book as somehow…well, bad.
But it will always be with us. So instead of wishing it weren’t, I opt for the widest possible readership in hopes that others will see my point and help me to work against its negative influence. Hence this odd little bible study.
We’ll start tomorrow with Genesis. I’ll give my thoughts in a sketchy stream of consciousness, focusing whenever possible on the implications for parenting and staying within 1000 words, then turn it over to you for discussion. Along the way, I’ll surely show bursts of impatience not only with the text, but with my central frustration regarding religious literacy – that it’s essential to be religiously literate, and I resent the fact that it is essential. I’d much rather spend my time and limited mental capacity elsewhere.
I will also take this opportunity to demonstrate that biblical literalism is not only alive and well, but predominant among believers in the U.S.
Until tomorrow, then. | <urn:uuid:0041c0b1-4e41-4424-985d-791f6b0de16d> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://dalemcgowan.com/a-note-on-bias/ | 2024-04-17T08:54:59Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296817146.37/warc/CC-MAIN-20240417075330-20240417105330-00667.warc.gz | en | 0.950518 | 1,223 |

NDI Artistic Director on Using Dance as a Tool to Empower Youth
Beyond being entertaining and beautiful to watch, dance can make a statement and leave an impression. It can change minds and allow the audience to experience emotions that the dancer and/or choreographer may have felt. It’s for this reason that the National Dance Institute, dancer and choreographer Robbie Fairchild, former Miami City Ballet dancer/current filmmaker Ezra Hurwitz, and Everytown for Gun Safety teamed up to create a dance video called “Enough.” “The goal of the project was to explore through movement the issue of gun violence in school, which sadly, for our dancers, is a very real concern,” NDI artistic director Ellen Weinstein told Dance Spirit. After its release a little over a week ago, the video has garnered 30,000 views on YouTube—its message resonating with many viewers. We talked with Weinstein to find out why it was so important for NDI to be a part of this project, and what she hopes young dancers realize about the power this art form has.
Why was it so important for the dancers of NDI to be part of this film?
At NDI, we work with over 6,500 children in NYC partner schools and every year we pick a curricular theme that serves as a springboard for a year of exploration and discovery. This year, our curricular theme is “Voices of Change”. We’re exploring individuals who have used their “voice” to effect positive change. When Robbie Fairchild came to me with his vision for the film, I felt it resonated with our curricular theme and overarching mission to empower children and to help them find their voice through the arts. It was a powerful way to launch this year’s program. Additionally, it was an opportunity for our young dancers to work in a professional setting with a celebrity choreographer and filmmaker. And rather than having paid dancers, the filmmakers saw the value of having NYC school children authentically expressing their feelings through the power of dance.
What was it like working with Robbie Fairchild?
Robbie Fairchild is a great artist. He’s participated in NDI events and performed with our young dancers for many years. He knows and understands our program and when he first came to me with this idea, I immediately said yes. I knew that whatever Robbie was involved in would be of the highest quality and integrity, and would have a powerful impact on our children and the organization.
How did the project unfold?
Robbie arranged for me to meet with the director, Ezra Hurwitz, and together they laid out their vision for the project. They were so passionate and committed to this project, and within just a few weeks, had raised the money to move forward, hire the choreographer James Alsop, and the rest of the crew. From that point, everything moved very fast, with rehearsals, shooting, and editing all happening within two and a half weeks’ time. It was very exciting for our children and our NDI staff to work with these extraordinary, world-class artists and play a pivotal role in realizing their vision.
ENOUGH! The Making of a Movement
What do you hope NDI’s young dancers took away from participating in this project?
I want our dancers to know that they have a voice, and they can use their voice to effect positive change. I want them all to become activists for the issues that they care about. I want them to understand and value the power of the arts, and how the arts can unite people around a shared goal. There’s no better way to inspire and educate our children than by using the arts, and dance in particular, to engage them emotionally.
How does dance influence the important issues of the day?
Dance, like all the arts, is a powerful way of expressing the most human emotions. It’s a language that’s universally understood. Dance is transcendent and unique in its ability to communicate and unify beyond words. I think dance can change the world. I see it every day at NDI!
How does NDI empower kids to make a difference?
At NDI we use dance to help children learn about the world, and at the same time, realize their greatest potential. They begin to understand the value of hard work, rigor, and discipline. Dance gives our children a vehicle through which to express themselves. Through the power of performance, they learn to care about each other, support each other, and celebrate differences. They become part of something bigger than themselves. | <urn:uuid:ae67332a-c0fd-4572-8948-d91e0ee9e474> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://dancespirit.com/ndi-artistic-director-ellen-weinstein-discuses-dances-role-in-empowering-youth-to-make-a-difference-in-their-communities/ | 2024-04-17T08:17:51Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296817146.37/warc/CC-MAIN-20240417075330-20240417105330-00667.warc.gz | en | 0.97382 | 952 |
