Prepping for your child’s future has just become a lot easier. As the digital age progresses, life during and after High School is a different landscape to when we were there (hands up who’s pleased social media didn’t exist back then?). As our teens grow up in an ever-changing world, it isn’t just about what they learn during class-time that counts. They also receive valuable everyday life experience throughout their education. The Harbour School (THS) understands that a rigorous and relevant educational experience is about more than just textbooks and lectures; it’s a springboard for everything else that follows. Its collaborative culture will set your child up for challenges that’ll surely arise, throughout high school, college and beyond. From Pre-Kindergarten to Grade 12, the nurturing, progressive approach at THS gives students the opportunity to express their creativity. Alongside the American curriculum, THS encourages a collaborative culture, inviting students to be inquisitive and question the world

Federal taxpayers are on the hook for nearly $20,000 just to settle each refugee and asylum seeker, who are then immediately eligible for cash welfare, food stamps, housing and medical aid, according to anew report on the “refugee industry.” The report provided federal budget figures showing that the government spends $19,884 on each refugee the U.S. takes in. And that number is set to jump if President Obama gets his way and brings in an additional 10,000 Syrian refugees in this year. The report from the Negative Population Growth Inc. said that the U.S. is currently accepting about 95,000 refugees and asylees. That is in addition to the over 500,000 legal and illegal immigrants coming to the U.S.

All through its 321st graduation ceremony, Yale introduced honorary levels to 10 men and women who have reached difference in their fields. “The 10 men and women we honor this morning provide as illustrations to you, our graduates, to motivate you to aspire to excellence and to price all those components of human character that they embody: creativity, curiosity, willpower, integrity, and a enthusiasm for community assistance,” mentioned Yale President Peter Salovey for the duration of the college-broad Graduation ceremony.

To summarize epidemiology of chronic kidney disease (CKD). To identify effects of CKD on morbidity and mortality. To define most effective strategies for evaluation and management of patients with CKD. It is the policy of American Society of Nephrology (ASN) that all individuals in a position to control the content of ASN's educational activities are expected to disclose all their and their life spouse/partner's financial relationships with “ineligible companies” within the prior 24 months as well as other non-financial interests. (“Ineligible companies” are those whose primary business is producing, marketing, selling, re-selling, or distributing health care products used by or on patients.)

Exporting a Delimited Text File Sometimes, the best way to share your solution data is through a text file. Data in text files can be formatted in a variety of ways, but delimited text files are supported by the widest range of applications out there. Creating a delimited text file out of your SMS project is a little different than simply exporting the project as a text file. - Select the Save As command in the File menu. - In the Save As dialog, change the File type to be Tabular Data File (*.txt). This tells SMS you want to create a delimited text file. - Enter a name for your file and make certain it is being saved to the correct directory. After clicking Save in the Save As dialog, the Export Tabular File dialog should appear. In this dialog, you can specify how you want SMS to organize your file. You can select how many columns you want to have in your file and how those columns are going to be separated using a space, tab, or comma. Importantly, you will need to select which data you want to have export

First time mothers may sometimes be astonished by the rate at which boys grow. They may ask themselves questions such as, when do they stop growing? A parent to a boy and a girl twins may see significant differences between the two children by the age of 17. However, boys will stop growing at around age 17. But why are there differences between the growth rate of boys and girls? Which are these height and age factors that make up the difference between the boys and girls? We’ve put together some information that will help you (source: https://www.heightgrowthclub.com) The onset of puberty is one of the main factors that contribute to the differences between boys and girls. They experience puberty differently. So for boys, the start of puberty may not determine how tall they’ll eventually be. However, puberty is a significant factor that determines when height growth starts and ends. During puberty, boys may grow an average of 9.5 centimeters. Essentially, they can be divided into two categories; the early mat

PHYTOPHTHORA RESEARCH AND CONSULTANCY The SME Phytophthora Research and Consultancy (PRC) was founded in 2005 and is offering consulting and scientific cooperation related to Phytophthora species and the diseases they cause. The services include: - Diagnosis of diseases and damages of trees, forest stands and plantations including analysis of the disease factors. - Investigations of nursery stock and nursery fields for infections/infestations by Phytophthora species. - Detection of Phytophthora species from soil samples and symptomatic tissues. - Coordination and realisation of small and large scale disease surveys. - Characterisation and description of new Phytophthora species. - Participation in research projects investigating the diversity, morphology, physiology, ecology, pathological strategies, survival strategies and phylogeny of Phytophthora spp. - Development of integrated management concepts; consulting and if necessary realisation of control measures. - Training of scientists and technical staff in

Michigan has a surprising number of connections to the story of corn, but it is also a fun place to explore for other discoveries, old and new. Long before Midwest Maize existed as either a book or a blog, The World’s Fare is where I posted, in addition to food history and recipes, various and sundry explorations and wanderings all over the world—from Mongolia to Morocco and even Michigan. These previous posts on great discoveries in Michigan, historical and culinary, are linked to at the end of this post. But here are a few more places I’ve stopped. (And those posts are why the title is “more of Michigan.”) A couple of destinations were connected to my research for my book, Midwest Maize. Not too surprisingly, I wanted to visit the birthplace of corn flakes: the Sanitarium created by Dr. John Kellogg in Battle Creek, MI. I knew that the Sanitarium was hugely popular in its day, but even knowing that, I was surprised by its grandeur. Still, it doesn’t really suggest the impact Dr. Kellogg had on the world and

After more than 12 years in the field of Logistics and Transport Organisation and maritime transport, I wanted to give a real meaning to my competences by working on the Environment. Indeed, I worked for chemical companies organizing shipments of chemicals, pesticides or dangerous products, all over the world. For me, it was essential to give an answer to this by finding solutions that were in line with my personal objectives. That is why I integrated the SECHE Group in 2016 and more specifically the International Team, as Logistics Manager. Our mission is to carry out the safeguarding, stowage, transport and disposal of hazardous waste in several countries in the 5 continents. This allows us to be in contact with the whole logistic chain, as customers, road transporters, customs, shipping companies, carriers, competent authorities, maritime inspectors, laboratories and treatment plants. Thus, we are learning every day and each project is a new challenge! Fabien Martinez (FM): Our scope is very large, since w

Kris Ball started writing when she was 6 years old — poetry, song lyrics, short stories. Ball said in the opening of one of her books that, sitting at the foot of her bed, her Aunt Janice — a woman 10 years younger than Ball’s “hands-off” mother — encouraged her to write and “would listen to [her] stupid poems.” “She always said, ‘Well, that’s really good. You’re a really good writer,’” Ball, 2000 Ball State graduate and dining worker at Woodworth Complex, said. “I was this dumb, little kid, and she’d always [say], ‘You need to keep writing. You should keep writing.’” As a first-grader, Ball performed a play she wrote about talking animals for the kindergarten class at her school. Now, she is a published author with a poetry and prose book and two children’s books, the latter featuring a brown- haired bear in a Pendleton sweatshirt, jeans and Nikes as the “author.” Max the Bear was a stuffed animal Ball’s almost 31-year-old son, Adam Lawson, would sleep with as a child. However, after Ball took Max to Pendleto

Skiing is incredible. There is nothing quite like the feel of flying down the mountain, enjoying the spray of the snow and the rush of the air. The scenery is stunning. The rhythm is addictive. The experience is emotional and exciting. However, like any sport, skiing can be dangerous when proper precautions are not taken. Recently, Breckenridge Ski Resort offered a few useful safety tips to keep the experience fun for everyone! On their website, experts at the National Ski Area Association provide skiers and snowboarders with seven major safety tips and best practices to keep snow sports smooth. These tips are as follows: - Always stay in control, and be able to stop or avoid other people or objects. - People ahead of you have the right of way. It is your responsibility to avoid them. - You must not stop where you obstruct a trail, or are not visible from above. - Whenever starting downhill or merging into a trail, look uphill and yield to others. - Always use devices to help prevent runaway equipment. - Obse

Coronavirus complacency arrives Columns share an author's personal perspective and are often based on facts in the newspaper's reporting. Scientific models show a reasonably high probability that the Wuhan coronavirus will accelerate in its spread outside of China. That's concerning, to say the least. But even as the news gets darker, the tone of news coverage is swinging the wrong way, offering too much false reassurance. It's extremely unlikely to turn into a nightmare scenario ripped from movies like "Contagion." It isn't an immediate threat to most people's lives. But if it spreads widely as some credible estimates predict, the disease could still easily disrupt business and everyday life for millions of people. Given all the other threats in the world - earthquakes, nuclear weapons, global warming, the flu - it was unrealistic to expect people to prepare for a new viral outbreak before the threat was imminent. Now it's crazy that people aren't doing more. What does preparation entail? Nothing drastic - m

T2 Biosystems Lexington, MA, USA T2’s superbug detector is first product to launch from CARB-X T2 Biosystems’ diagnostic panel can identify superbug drug resistance days faster than current methods Just three years after CARB-X was launched, the first diagnostic – capable of screening blood for genes associated with antibiotic-resistant organisms in mere hours – has graduated from the CARB-X portfolio and is hitting the market in Europe and elsewhere. Developed by a Boston-area company, T2 Biosystems, the T2Resistance Panel rapidly determines whether a person’s blood contains genetic markers associated with drug- resistant organisms. Critically, this information can be used by clinicians to determine which drugs are most likely to successfully treat those organisms. Speed of diagnosis is critical in the fight against drug-resistant bacteria. The faster a clinician can get a clear picture of which strains are causing the infection and which antibiotics are most likely to work, the more likely the patient is to

Note from BW of Brazil: Over the past few years I’v noticed numerous articles and interviews posted online discussing discrimination against persons around the world who are classified as white. Imagine that. After centuries in which persons with white skin have raped, pillaged and plundered the resources and bodies of people of color the world over, now descendants of those same people are complaining about a tendency in which they see a sort of reverse discrimination against them in lands of their forefathers or lands in which their forefathers stole and colonized. You know what? If you follow some of the happenings around the world in places such as Europe and the United States, one could actually see and agree with some of the actions that are being taken that put whites at certain (not absolute) disadvantages. That’s actually a longer discussion beyond the scope of today’s post, but what amazes me about this discourse of anti-white discrimination is that those same whites seem to have a sort of selective

Turkey has nearly 20.000 years of a rich and a long history. It has been the home of hundreds of great civilizations starting from Lydians, Hittites, Romans, Greeks to Ottomans, bearing thousands of languages before it became Turkish Republic in 1923. Anatolia is considered to be the birth place and the cradle of trade which begun with the invention of coinage by the Lydians who are believed to be one of the oldest habitants and the first civilization to form democracy. With the invention of money, the exchange of goods reached another dimension. The dating of the first stamped coins is one of the most frequently debated topics but according to the evidents the most common opinion is that they were minted at the beginning of the reign of King Alyattes who ruled Lydia c. 610-550 BC. |Turkey has always been an important trade center because of its strategic geological location forming a bridge between Europe and Asia. Hence many important trade routes have led through the Anatolian lands for centuries. One of t

21 NatureForm I-14 Incubators give the hatchery an incubation capacity of 452,088 eggs. Eggs are set every Friday during the hatching season. After 21 days, eggs need to be transferred from incubator trays into hatch baskets to contain hatching chicks. A 3-person crew uses a custom transfer table to increase the efficiency of the process. 3-Ply tray pads are used to cushion the eggs and give newly hatched chicks traction to stand without affecting airflow in the hatchers. A separate hatcher room with a capacity of 150,696 eggs per week is situated adjacent to the incubator room. Hatch baskets are stacked on dollies and rolled into hatchers. The majority of the chicks will hatch by Monday morning. A wall is built over the top of the hatchers to prevent hatchery residue from being recirculated into the back of the machines. Conditioned air is drawn through the machines to allow them to operate more evenly. Chick Sorting Room On a Monday morning, chicks are transferred from the hatch baskets into plastic chick b

including hands-on report and interview with Sabrina Flaus, project manager of the subproject "IQ Refresher training for nurses with qualifications acquired abroad." The delivery of taught clinical practice is the key bottleneck in adaptation periods for general nurses. For capacity reasons, it is often difficult or even impossible for the practice locations to provide practice mentors internally for participants. Training obligations and day-to-day necessities generally take priority. Implementation of "project-integrated practice mentoring" The IQ "Refresher training for nurses with qualifications acquired abroad" subproject from the provider SHG Bildung gGmbH in the IQ Network Saarland has initiated project-integrated practice mentoring (PiP) which undertakes the mentoring in all organisations. This enables participants to receive the necessary time to compensate for missing periods of training. It eases the burden on the organisations and at the same time ensures quality across various practice locations.

Fielding smaller, more risk-worthy carriers that could reduce the chance of adversaries landing a major punch in a conflict simply by sinking or disabling a single ship, such as a Nimitz- or Ford-class aircraft carrier with thousands of sailors and tens of billions of dollars of hardware aboard, seems reasonable as the future of carriers remains in flux. The effort to move to a smaller carrier, optimistically termed “Future Carrier 2030, seems frozen. So, the US Navy is forging ahead with preparing its big-deck boats — the amphibious assault ships — for operating with the Marine Corp’s F-35B. The Corps’ F-35 fighter jet is a short-takeoff-and-vertical-landing variant. The Navy recently inked a $200 million contract with BAE Systems to upgrade the amphibious assault ship Boxer to be able to operate with the F-35 Joint Strike Fighter, the fifth landing helicopter assault ship to be so amended. “The USS Boxer [depending on dry- dock availability] will complete a combination of maintenance, modernization, and repa

Why Trump’s Trade War Could Mean Heavy Losses for U.S. Farmers If a trade war breaks out, American farmers are likely to pay a hefty price. In recent months the Trump administration has announced plans to impose tariffs on steel and aluminum from Canada, Mexico, and the EU, and on $50 billion or more in products from China. The four major trading partners—who purchased a combined $74.5 billion in U.S. agricultural goods in 2017—have vowed retaliatory tariffs of their own, including on U.S. ag exports. That could add to farmers’ woes: Thanks in large part to lower grain prices, U.S. net farm income has plunged by over 50% since 2013. A version of this article appears in the July 1, 2018 issue of Fortune with the headline “Much to Lose For U.S. Farmers”

Morristown, NJ – Jersey Central Power & Light (JCP&L) is conducting vegetation management work throughout the month of June in the Monmouth County municipalities of Allenhurst, Atlantic Highlands, Colts Neck, Deal, Freehold, Holmdel, Howell, Lincroft, Marlboro, Middletown, Red Bank, Tinton Falls, and Wall. The work is being performed by certified forestry contractors Aspen Tree, Asplundh Tree Experts and Nelson Tree Service.The vegetation management work is a part of JCP&L’s program to improve service reliability throughout its 13 county service area. Trees are a leading cause of power outages and when trees and power lines touch it can create a dangerous condition. To help maintain safe and reliable electric service, JCP&L regularly trims trees and conducts vegetation management work along its electric distribution lines on a four year cycle. The company’s certified forestry experts inspect vegetation near the lines to ensure trees are pruned in a manner that preserves the health of the tree, while also main

Until a few years back, one of the biggest challenges facing renewable energy sources was their cost of generation. Now, however, with the cost of solar power dropping fast, and the cost of fossil based power generation increasing in many countries, the cost of the renewable energy is perhaps no longer the toughest challenge facing the sector. The real challenge now for renewables is their intermittent nature and as a consequence, their infirmness and lack of reliability. The two main renewable energy sources (solar and wind) are intermittent in nature and cannot be fully relied upon as standalone resources for electricity. As a result, storing these is the only known way now to make them a reliable source of energy on their own. (One might question about biomass and also about renewable energy sources such as geothermal power which can actually work 24×7. These sources however have a limited capacity to scale and cannot contribute anywhere close to the quantum of power that the world requires today) Storage

The Rebirth of Google Glass Remember Google Glass? It was the name coined for spectacles developed by Google’s (now Alphabet’s) X division (the company’s intellectual sandpit in which engineers develop way-out ideas). Looking at first sight like a cheap pair of non-prescription reading glasses, Glass functioned as a kind of miniature head-up display (a transparent screen that allows users to read data without having to change their viewpoint). Over part of the right-hand lens was a small rectangular block of glass which functioned as a miniature computer monitor. Inside the right-hand support (the part that goes over your ear) Google had packed memory, a processor, a camera, speaker and microphone, Bluetooth and wifi antennas, an accelerometer, gyroscope, compass and a battery. So when you put on your spectacles you were, in fact, donning a tiny wearable computer. It’s been over five years since the introduction and subsequent demise of Google Glass. The original model was too pricey, too creepy, and not usef

The world economy has moved closer, and people are more closely connected. People are getting the chance to work with individuals from different cultures and backgrounds. As a result, the importance of learning more than one language has increased. Being bilingual enhances communication skills and makes one more perceptive of others. Also, it helps an individual in their personal life. Today, most students are comfortable speaking more than one language. Also, they want to understand the cultures and traditions of their classmates. As a result, the need for bilingual education has increased. More people are recognizing the importance of bilingual education, and school administrations are developing educational content that suffices the need for such education programs. Importance of bilingual education The need for this new education program has increased over the year because of the reasons mentioned below: - The need for a bilingual workforce has increased Today, every country is connected.

Tenn. is readmitted to the Union July 24, 1866 On this day in 1866, Tennessee became the first Confederate state to be readmitted into the Union. The Volunteer State had also been the last one to withdraw from the Union, after a statewide referendum on June 8, 1861. Angered by the withdrawal, Tennesseans from 26 eastern counties met twice in Greenville and Knoxville, eventually opting to secede from Tennessee and remain in the Union. The Legislature, however, denied their petition. It sent a 4,000-man force to suppress their bid to secede. During the Civil War, many East Tennesseans waged guerrilla warfare against the Southern cause by burning bridges, cutting telegraph wires and spying. After the war, a week before its readmittance, Tennessee ratified the 14th Amendment, which guaranteed citizenship rights to former slaves. As a result, Tennessee became the sole state during Reconstruction that did not have an appointed military governor. Many whites proved reluctant to offer blacks full citizenship rights,

The Year 6 boys had lots of fun on Wednesday during lunch time, playing indoor ten-pin bowling. City of Whittlesea’s Baseline staff, Sam and Kristy, came and set up indoor ten-pin bowling for the boys to try. The boys took turns to bowl, with the aim of knocking all their pins down. Great team work was witnessed as they each took turns to bowl, and each took turns to return the pins to standing position after they were knocked down, ready for the next person to have a go. Sam and Kristy were great with the boys, teaching them techniques to help knock down the pins. They were very encouraging and the boys learnt a lot during the 30 minute session. It was great seeing the boys have fun, utilising some excess energy, learning new skills, and working together so well, alhamdullilah. We are very grateful to the City of Whittlesea for their coordination and support of regular lunch time activities for our students. We look forward to their next visit, along with Rex from City of Whittlesea, for some Indigenous Game

Fearful of answering the phone? That’s about to change. Learning how to answer the phone at work is surprisingly easy as making the best first impression relies on saying less and letting the other party do more. With the push of the (right) buttons, you’ll be improving your call rate within days. We all have a branded spiel that we’re taught to say at the beginning of a work phone call. These rehearsed lines often make us sound prepared and professional — unless the script is so long it becomes clunky. A long, laborious script can set the tone for an awkward phone call and in some cases, can cause you to stumble over your words. Make sure your script doesn’t exceed seven seconds of speaking time and don’t be afraid to record yourself practising the speech to find out. This will help you to cut out any unnecessary jargon. Can your business name be abbreviated yet still recognisable? Do you need to announce your brand name and your department? Is the alternate “good morning/good evening” part of your script co

Tennesseans need care – expanding Medicaid would do just that | Opinion Tennessee has the second highest rate of hospital closures in the nation, and women and people of color lack access to quality health care. - Cherisse Scott is CEO and founder of SisterReach. Tennessee, we’re No. 2. I know that no one likes to hear that. Everyone wants to be No. 1. But let me assure you that in this case, you don’t want to be No. 1 because Tennessee is No. 2 in the nation when it comes to closing hospitals. This is creating vast health access deserts across the state leaving us without adequate care options, and for Tennesseans with chronic multi-layered health issues, it's killing us. There is one simple action Governor Bill Lee could take that not only would stem the tide of hospital collapse, but also get insurance to underserved Tennesseans – that is expanding Medicaid now. Expanding Medicaid isn’t just a health care issue, it's an ethical, economic, and racial justice issue. States that expanded Medicaid have seen be

“The Constitution does not prohibit the citizens of each State from regulating or prohibiting abortion. Roe and Casey arrogated that authority. We now overrule those decisions and return that authority to the people and their elected representatives.” These concluding words from Justice Samuel Alito’s majority opinion in Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization unequivocally affirmed the return of democracy’s role in molding abortion policy. Sadly, state and federal judiciaries are comprised of activist judges who won’t let the Supreme Court of the United States frustrate their efforts to protect elective abortion. The judicial resistance has begun. Dobbs was never going to be the finale of the Pro-Life movement. Returning abortion policy to the democratic processes merely ignites animated battles in legislative chambers across the nation. And even where abortion is fully banned—like in Texas, or elsewhere in the South and Midwest—the struggle to build a fully Pro-Life culture and legal regime persists. A

P2P lending platforms bring lenders and borrowers in the same space. It was initially meant to enable borrowers rejected by banks to raise money at higher interest rates. It soon became an online investing avenue for people with surplus funds, who wish to get higher returns than what other asset classes offer. WHERE DOES THE CATCH LIE? Investors lend money at their own risk. Banks are financial intermediaries that accept money from depositors and lend it to borrowers. However, the depositors earn a fixed rate of interest, and the lending risk is entirely that of the bank. P2P lending platforms provide the technology to shortlist borrower profiles based on their credit rating and other financial data. Th

MCAT Study Strategies that Improved My Score 10 Points4 min read When I first took the MCAT I scored a 508, not awful, but not amazing. I knew that if I wanted to get accepted to the medical school of my dreams I needed a better score. I changed my study strategy drastically, these changes took my score from a 508 to a 518. Here are the top 10 study tips that improved my score. 1. Develop Your Plan Before Starting Every day of your MCAT study schedule should be planned. You may not necessarily get to everything you planned for that day, but every day should be planned. When you don’t plan your days you may: - Not stay consistent - Not take breaks (equals burnout) - Feel Stressed about what you should be studying Make an excel sheet, with every day listed until your test day. Questions to ask yourself: - How many days will I be studying? - What resources will I be using? (My write-up here) - What will me every day look like? - Between what times will I be studying? (8-4 is a good idea) - What environment will

New Health: Novello Health aims to provide cheaper, more transparent healthcare options The United States has the most expensive healthcare system in the world. According to the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD), the per capita health expenditure in the U.S. was $10,586 in 2018, nearly double the next country on the list – Germany, with a per capita expenditure of $5,986. The team at Traverse City’s Novello Health believes that healthcare should be more affordable, more accessible, and more transparent, and they are using free market concepts in an effort to get there. Based in the same Copper Ridge development that houses many of the area’s medical offices, Novello is quietly staging a revolution. And as healthcare costs continue to rise, the organization is only gaining traction as a legitimate alternative to Munson and other area providers. Novello Health is actually three different healthcare facilities, all housed side by side in the same building. One of those facilities is th

Rapid economic development in recent decades has meant that India, a digitally savvy and English-speaking country, is an increasingly important market for many export-focussed Irish firms. Demographics are central to the attractiveness of the Indian market. A country with a population of more than 1.4 billion people, India will soon be the world’s most populous. And, by 2025, its growing middle class of more than 300 million people is expected to be the third largest consumer market in the world, according to Boston Consulting Group. India is also young – over half the population is currently under the age of thirty and this has led to a ‘demographic dividend’, where economic growth follows a larger working-age population. Indeed, India has been amongst the fastest-growing economies in the world in recent years, with 8pc forecast GDP growth for 2022. New data published by Enterprise Ireland shows that exports to India by our client companies reached €127m in 2021. Although Irish export figures to India have g

By J.F. Wischhusen and N.O. Gunderson, MD Summary: “Scientists have been almost entirely preoccupied by the concept that bacteria cause disease, rather than by a much more important concept—that adequate nutrition causes good health and relative freedom from disease.” This basic principle, stated so eloquently by the authors of this essay from the journal Science Counselor, aptly defines the divide between the fields of nutrition and medicine. Were we to stop consuming substandard foods such as pasteurized milk and foods grown on soils deficient in trace minerals, the authors explain, then we would not need medical treatments for degenerative diseases such as rheumatism, arthritis, gastrointestinal disorders, nervous and mental diseases, and cancer, because they would be largely nonexistent (as they are in preindustrial societies that stick to their traditional diets). “Remove the true underlying cause of disease—malnutrition,” the authors add, “and it will usually be found that the disease germs cannot exist

First, what is a home-based business? A home-based business is any enterprise that operates out of the entrepreneur’s home. Larger companies often overlook home-based entrepreneurs because they don’t see them as necessary to their bottom line. But this isn’t true! Home-based businesses can be just as lucrative and successful as any other type of company. However, marketing to home-based businesses can be tricky. This blog post will cover some tips on the market to these companies. Understanding Their Needs You need to understand what your customers want and need. If you’re marketing a product, ask yourself if it’s something they would use regularly? Is there an opportunity for more than one purchase in the future? Home-based business owners often work from home with children around or other distractions. They don’t have time to waste with a product that doesn’t work or isn’t helpful. Make sure you provide them with products and services that meet their needs. Otherwise, they won’t buy from you again. Home-bas

The Piper at the Gates of Dawn The Piper at the Gates of Dawn is the debut studio album by English rock band Pink Floyd, released 4 August 1967 by EMI Columbia. The only album made under founding member Syd Barrett's leadership, it takes its title from chapter seven of Kenneth Grahame's 1908 novel The Wind in the Willows, which refers to the nature God Pan, and was recorded at EMI Studios in London from February to May 1967 with producer Norman Smith. The band at the time consisted of Syd Barrett, Nick Mason (drums), Roger Waters, and Richard Wright. Barrett also served as the band's primary songwriter, though two tracks on the album are credited to the band collectively and one track was written by Waters. The album was produced by Norman Smith, who would go on to produce two more albums for Pink Floyd.

Jan 29, 2015Exertional Rhabdomyolysis Breakdown Exertional rhabdomyolysis, a rare condition categorized by a breakdown in muscle tissue after intense workouts by poorly conditioned athletes, is believed to be what sent two dozen high school athletes in Oregon to the hospital last week. The condition is often accompanied by intense muscle pain, a tingling sensation in extremities, and tea-colored urine. In the case of the Oregon athletes, three also developed compartment syndrome, which puts pressure on the muscles and nerves. The condition can also be exacerbated by poor hydration. While the condition itself is extremely rare, it can occur in athletes at any level. Washington Redskins defensive tackle Albert Haynesworth, who had been in a public spat with Head Coach Mike Shanahan over his conditioning, was reported to have had the condition, according to the Washington Post. Additionally, eight members of a high school girls’ lacrosse team were hit by the condition a few years ago following a workout that inc

There are qualified and diverse candidates out there who may not be aware that museums are a sustainable career option for them—it’s our job as a field to recruit and retain this virtually untapped market. One important way to achieve this is to highlight that museums offer careers in a range of disciplines, all equally valuable as career opportunities. These vast disciplines include and extend beyond the curatorial roles most people associate with museums, and reinforcing this can attract diverse talent whose skills are in other areas. We in the field thank the Mellon Foundation for highlighting through its surveys the need to diversify the curatorial field and other more traditional museum roles, and would like to showcase all the other positions that support museums and present an opportunity for this diversity. Here are some tips for hiring with this mindset: 1. Invest in the fundamentals. Do you recognize and validate the diversity of career paths and skills across your institution (i.e. Facilities, Huma

Book Review: Good Christians, Good Husbands?, by Doreen Moore Does being a good Christian make for being a good husband and family man? That’s the question Doreen Moore explores in her brief book (179 pages; 24 pages of endnotes) by looking at three of the most extraordinarily fruitful men of the eighteenth century and their wives: John and Molly Wesley, George and Elizabeth Whitefield, and Jonathan and Sarah Edwards. The first three chapters serve as mini-biographies for the three couples, including their opinions on balancing ministry and marriage. The fourth and final chapter presents the lessons to be learned. CHAPTER 1: WESLEY In 1783, two years after his wife’s death, John Wesley wrote, „The person in your house that claims your first and nearest attention, is, undoubtedly your wife; seeing you are to love her, even as Christ hath loved the Church…” According to Moore’s assessment of the Wesley union, this is a terribly ironic statement. Wesley was unwilling to stop or even slow his itinerant preaching

Virgin Hyperloop's cutting-edge technology can 'comfortably, safely and quietly' shuttle customers along at speeds of up to 670 miles per hour, according to a new promo video from the transportation start-up. A clip released on Monday explains how passenger pods accelerate through a near-vacuum via electric propulsion, gliding along without actually touching the track thanks to magnetic levitation that limits aerodynamic drag. 'It unveils details on our 'smart vehicle, dumb road' commercial system architecture,' a representative said of the clip, 'including the on-board levitation engines, propulsion engines, and high-power batteries that have never been publicly shown.' It also sings the praises of the trains as an efficient, economical and sustainable mode of transportation with zero carbon emissions. Virgin Hyperloop's 670 mph speed is ten times faster than a typical commercial train and three times as fast as current high-speed rail. (The top speed for Amtrak's Acela trains is about 150 mph.) It's even fa

25 December is Christmas Day! In the words of singer Andy Williams, it is the “most wonderful time of the year.” For Christians and Catholics alike, it is one of the most awaited times of the year. It is by far one of the most sacred religious holidays and a worldwide cultural phenomenon especially for Catholics and Christians alike. It is believed to be the birth of Jesus of Nazareth and the world has been commemorating and celebrating it for the last two millennia. People from different walks of life around the world have been celebrating it with their countries’ respective Christmas traditions and practices. However, this year’s Christmas celebration and the whole holiday season will no doubt be different. With the advent of the COVID-19 pandemic, the pressure on the festive season is higher than expected. Most definitely, the coronavirus pandemic indeed left almost no one, no occasion even Christmas and the holiday season, and no countries – even the most Christmas feast loving country –the Philippines, u

NAS currently has no provider, so no NAS services will be offered at this time. What is Neonatal Abstinence Syndrome or NAS? NAS is a group of conditions caused when a baby withdraws from certain drugs he/she is exposed to in the womb before birth. NAS is most often caused when a woman takes drugs called opioids during pregnancy. There have been more than 4,000 reported cases of NAS in Tennessee since surveillance begin in 2013. According to the Tennessee Department of Health the highest rates of NAS in 2018 have occurred in the Northeast and Upper Cumberland Health Regions, and Sullivan County. https://www.tn.gov/health/nas.html What are signs and symptoms of NAS? Signs/Symptoms may include: Trembling (tremors) Fever Irritability Seizures Excessive sucking Rapid breathing Poor ability or inability to feed High pitch cry How long does NAS last?

With the right plan and the right discipline, you can get seriously shredded in just 28 days.Read article Just because the leaves have turned colors and we’re all swaddled in jackets doesn’t mean your burger has to suffer on a stove until Memorial Day. If you think grilling is only for the warm months, you’re wrong. We’re not saying light it up during a blizzard, but pick your spots correctly and grilling can be a year-round endeavor. “Peak grilling season is over, but that doesn’t mean you have to put the grill away entirely. You just have to be smart about it,” says chef Josh Capon, owner of Bowery Meat Company (joshcapon.com). “By using a fire starter [he recommends Pine Mountain ExtremeStart Firestarter], it will light quickly, so you don’t have to stand in the cold just babysitting the fire.” Whether you’re tailgating at Gillette Stadium or cooking your own game-day smorgasbord, a burger is a year-round meal. But Capon says this time around, don’t make the same mistake you probably made over July 4: gril

Mismi is a 5,597-metre (18,363 ft) mountain peak of volcanic origin in the Chila mountain range in the Andes of Peru. A glacial stream on the Mismi was firmly identified as the most distant source of the Amazon River in 1996; this finding was confirmed in 2001 and again in 2007. This claim has been challenged with three locations for the source of the Amazon identified, depending upon the definition of "source." The waters from Mismi flow into the streams Carhuasanta and Apachita, which flow into the Apurímac River. It is a tributary of the Ucayali which later joins the Marañón to form the Amazon proper. |Elevation||5,597 m (18,363 ft)| |Location||Arequipa Region, Peru| |Parent range||Andes, Ch'ila mountain range| Mismi is about 160 km (99 mi) west of Lake Titicaca and 700 km (435 mi) southeast of Peru's capital city, Lima, in the Arequipa Region. It is one of the highest points of Colca Canyon. There are several glaciers on the peak. The Cousteau Amazon ExpeditionEdit In 1982 Jean-Michel Cousteau led a large

Mike Bailey was born in Yorkshire in 1950, but his school years were spent mainly in the Midlands. Completely unmoved by rugby, athletics, or cricket, the chance offer of a weekend climbing in Wales in 1965 showed him an activity that immediately grabbed him. A traditional ‘Ogwen Apprenticeship’ followed, along with an early introduction to climbing walls, when his school installed one of the first in the country. Four years in Stafford provided frequent opportunities for climbing in the Peak, then in 1974, after marrying his wife Sue, he moved permanently to Wales. He has climbed in many parts of the UK, in France, and Australia, and for some years fitted in fell running alongside climbing. More recently he has been involved in work on the CC’s forthcoming Ogwen guidebook. On summer evenings, if he’s not out climbing, he’s likely to be riding his bike around Snowdonia. Despite now belonging to the old fart’s brigade, he still enjoys climbing walls in the winter months. His other interests include a long term

For the past over a month, the Amazon Rainforest is under fire. It has been declared as an emergency state by the Brazilian government. Facing consequences, The President Jair Bolsonaro has announced a relief package worth 20 million USD. The announcement was made official by the President while attending a meet at the G7 Sumit. Wildfires that trigger in forests are common concerns for the global population. Since 2013, it has been noticed that within Brazil, these incidences have elevated. As per stats, 85 percent increase in these fires within the Amazon has been recorded for since past few years. As noticed from the Air space, Brazil has experienced over 80,000 such wildfires in the current year. The stats were officially released for public awareness by INPE (Spare Research Centre) of Brazil. Wildfires are events that are triggered due to increasing land temperature. As a result of the dry forest cover and grasslands, catch fire easily. Once this happens it triggers a type of chain reaction in another for

Introduction: Digispark & WS2812 Rainbow Wheel in a Box This tiny project has been made around a nicely carved 10x6x5cm wooden box I found in a shop. Its best feature, which has not actually been properly caught on camera, is to light up with bright, saturated colors, the sides of the tree-carved lid of the box. On the other side, be aware that using a rainbow effect on a strip of narrow RGB 5050 LEDs will always result in a whiteish illumination within some centimeters from the LEDs, as each pixel's color soon mixes with its neighbors'. Should you want to avoid this effect, you can try using some focusing lens The brightness of the lamp is kept proportional to the ambient light thanks to a LDR: the lamp will shine in daylight conditions and won't be too bright when used as a nightlight, in the dark. Bill of materials: - one Attiny85 Digispark (clone) board, with its Micronucleusbootloader - one 8x WS2812 bar - one LDR, used to tune the lamp's brightness depending on the surroundings - one 10KΩ pull-up resist

So, you are a complete fitness-freak, who doesn’t miss her workout even for a single day. Well, you are actually ‘harming’ yourself. Surprised? Well, whether you are a beginner in the fitness world or have enough experience about exercising, you should try relaxing at least for one whole day by taking a break from your workout. Otherwise, your body won’t get its recovery time and will stop cooperating with you. Why Should You Take One Whole Day Break From Workout? Let us dig deeper and find out why everyone should enjoy a ‘rest day’ by skipping exercise: 1. To Maintain Physical Health: - Repair, Growth and Strengthening of Muscles: Exercising actually means breaking down the muscles. You probably don’t know that your muscle fibers develop tiny wear and tear during workouts. When you take rest for a whole day, the process of muscle building starts. This stimulation allows your muscle fibers to recuperate, grow and get stronger for the subsequent workout sessions. - Restoration of Glycogen (Glycogenesis): Your

The severest test of an advertising man is in selling goods by mail. But that is a school from which he must graduate before he can hope for success. There cost and result are immediately apparent. False theories melt away like snowflakes in the sun. The advertising is profitable or it is not, clearly on the face of returns. Figures which do not lie tell one at once the merits of an ad. This puts men on their mettle. All guesswork is eliminated. Every mistake is conspicuous. One quickly loses his conceit by learning how often his judgment errs — often nine times in ten. There one learns that advertising must be done on a scientific basis to have any fair chance of success. And he learns that every wasted dollar adds to the cost of results. Here is a tough efficiency and economy under a master who can’t be fooled. Then, and only then, is he apt to apply the same principles and keys to all advertising. A man was selling a five-dollar article. The replies from his ad cost him 85 cents. Another man submitted an a

Federal Court Says NOAA Must Improve Sea Turtle Monitoring in Sea Scallop Fishery New Ruling to Prevent Excessive Bycatch of Endangered Sea Turtles in New England, Mid-Atlantic Press Release Date: October 5, 2020 Location: Washington, DC A federal court ruled in favor of Oceana on Thursday that NOAA Fisheries has failed to develop a viable method for counting and accounting for the incidental catch, or bycatch, of sea turtles in the U.S. Atlantic scallop fishery. The ruling from the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia requires the government to estimate and adequately monitor the number of threatened and endangered sea turtles harmed by the Atlantic sea scallop fishery in a manner that will allow the agency to know, in real time, when the fishery exceeds set limits on sea turtle bycatch or interactions. Thursday’s ruling is the latest in a decades-long effort by Oceana to ensure that the scallop fishery minimizes its harmful impacts on sea turtles and supports their recovery. The Endangered Speci

WASHINGTON, D.C. – The Bureau of Land Management plans to increase wild horse and burro gather and fertility control operations in Fiscal Year 2022 to reduce the risk of starvation, thirst, and habitat destruction as climate change and extreme drought continues to impact the West. The plan follows a year marked by extreme drought and a record number of emergency actions to save wild horses and burros and protect critical habitat on public lands. Drought significantly magnifies the impact overpopulation can have on both the health of wild horses and burros and the land on which they depend, and this is occurring as overall population levels increase. As of March 1, 2021, the wild horse and burro population on BLM public lands was estimated at more than 86,000 animals – which is more than three times the appropriate management level, though slightly less than the 95,000 animals that were estimated in 2020. When appropriate management levels are exceeded, wild horses and burros can damage the habitat shared by a

Anyone who has ever been walking in the hills will have had the experience of a sudden shaft of light illumining a previously unnoticed aspect of the landscape. The picture here shows that, with the added benefit of a rainbow taken by landscape photographer Mike Alexander in the Brecon Beacons; I have more fully acknowledged the source at the end of this post. It is a chance illumination and whether you pay attention to it can also be a matter of chance unless you are attuned to what I have called the small noticings so critical to sense-making. The history of innovation is generally one of not only noticing an anomaly, but also paying attention and realising the significance. Think of the discovery of Penicillin if your want a well know examples but you can add micro-wave ovens and a host of other discoveries to the list. Small things lead to major impacts but when and where the light falls is a matter of chance for which we need to prepare ourselves. Within my twelve days of welsh words and poetry series to

Easy e-paper finally comes to microcontrollers, with this breakout that’s designed to make it a breeze to add a tri-color eInk display. Chances are you’ve seen one of those new-fangled ‘e-readers’ like the Kindle or Nook. They have gigantic electronic paper ‘static’ displays – that means the image stays on the display even when power is completely disconnected. The image is also high contrast and very daylight readable. It really does look just like printed paper! We’ve liked these displays for a long time, but breakouts were never designed for makers to use. Finally, we decided to make our own! This breakout has a 2.7″ tri-color (red, black, and white) display. It has 264×176 black and red ink pixels and a white-ish background. Using our CircuitPython or Arduino libraries, you can create a ‘frame buffer’ with what pixels you want to have activated and then write that out to the display. Most simple breakouts leave it at that. But if you do the math, 264 x 176 pixels x 2 colors = 11.5 KBytes. Which won’t fit

In 1963, Afra and Tobia Scarpa started their collaboration with the Italian manufacturer Figli di Amedeo Cassina, designing an iconic series in which we can find the model 121 chair. It was a homogenous series with an extremely simple line. It featured an armchair, a lounge chair, a dining chair, tables, and a sofa. In these pieces, we can find the modular solutions that Afra and Tobia Scarpa already used in other furnishings like the Bastiano sofa for Gavina and the Coronado sofa for C&B Italia. In 1969, their collaboration with Cassina reached its peak with Soriana lounge chair. Model 917 Armchair Afra and Tobia Scarpa designed the 917 armchair in 1963. It was the first piece of this series that Cassina produced. Its standout feature is its very thin padding and the “anatomical” shape of its backrest. The elements of the armchair were all independently produced and then assembled with screws. The frames are made of solid wood, the seat and the backrest in bent plywood. Moreover, they feature thin polyuretha

I was speaking to one of my clients this week who joked to me that I must think he is “a complete psychopath.” I assured him that I did not think anything of the sort, yet it is amazing how many therapy clients believe themselves to be psychopathic without really knowing what they are suggesting about themselves. (It is funny how many clients seem to worry about what the therapist thinks of them… It really can get in the way at times… That is a discussion for another day though.) In the village where I lived while I was at secondary school, a boy who went to the same school used a samurai sword to dismember and kill a man who used to bully him… He may be considered more of a psychopath! His attack was in the middle of a fired up psychotic episode and many debates were held as to the difference between ‘mad’ and ‘bad.’ Today I want to cite some fascinating research about psychopaths… Because not all of them are criminal apparently… So what do think, do you have anyone who might be a psychopath in your life?

“Once the heroin and crack addiction turned me into a homeless prostitute, I pretty much gave up on life. Laying there in a bed just staring into this mirror, I would sometimes see the beautiful little girl I used to be looking back at me” Added by “Lisa S” in her tale. Once you try to be like drug addict you have no way to dodge or escape. These expressions were recall by a lady Lisa clearing up her dilemma happened by drugs. Addiction is sickness that effects on your brain performance and conduct. Drug craving is not only restricted to psychosomatic or corporeal tribulations. In every part of the world, drug addiction is found. Most eminent doctors of the world have expressed their opinion about its awful and dire effects. At the present moment drugs have been the fashion mark. Drugs undoubtedly invigorate one’s nervous system after physical and mental exhaustion and overtiredness. Certainly drug abuse is a grave public health catastrophe. Every year intake of drug brings about millions of health injuries a

One of my goals as a teacher is to help my students grow as independent learners. Inherent in that goal are essential skills like accountability and communication and qualities like motivation and reflection. Often, these are lessons learned through experience and are hard to teach to students, no matter the age. But yesterday, when I received an e-mail, Remind chat message, and private message on Google Classroom, I began to reflect on ways that technology can help improve communication and address these goals. All of these messages has specific questions from students regarding their homework so they could do their best work before the assignment was due. Through technology, students and teachers have more avenues for safe communication, allowing us to continue to build relationships and help students learn and grow before, during, and after our actual class time. We use a lot technology in my class, but the more I think about it the more I realize one its main purposes and impacts. Sure, it can and often d

Simple Eyelike Sensors Could Make AI Systems More Efficient (Inside Science) -- A sensor that mimics how the human eye detects light could lead to better vision for autonomous robots and self-driving cars, a new study argues. Modern electronic cameras are based on sensors that generate an electrical signal whenever light falls on them. In contrast, the roughly 100 million rod and cone cells of the retina -- the light-sensitive layer in the back of the eye -- only transmit signals to the brain in response to a change in light. This makes human eyes significantly more efficient than electronics in terms of both energy and computing power, explained study senior author John Labram, a device physicist at Oregon State University in Corvallis. Scientists have previously created sensors that imitate the retina. However, these "retinomorphic" electronics involve complex circuits ill-suited for use in mass-produced sensors. Now Labram and his colleagues have replaced these intricate circuits with a simpler alternative

Using Asbestos Soil Sample Testing in Queensland to Determine How to Proceed With a Project The easiest safety threats to nullify are the ones that are easy to identify. Unfortunately, when it comes to asbestos, it is often not as easy to determine whether this dangerous material is present without testing a sample. You may already know that some old building materials are on site and are likely to contain asbestos, but a positive confirmation is necessary before you can make proper arrangements for removal. That’s simple enough — but what about when there are concerns asbestos may lurk elsewhere, like in the soil? Improper disposal or demolition in the past, or incidental contamination from work with asbestos that took place nearby, can trap fibres in the ground. Left undisturbed, they don’t pose a risk — but kicked up into clouds of dust and dirty by heavy equipment, or when disturbed due to excavation, they pose serious health threats. Asbestos exposure can have long-term ramifications and lead to the deve

Philippe Zinck is at the Catalysis and Solid State Chemistry Unit, University Lille 1 (France) and works on polymerization catalysis, with a focus on functional and bio-based polymers. He goes on Twitter by @PhilippeZinck. 1. What made you want to be a chemist? I studied materials science, because at that time the materials science department of my college was more oriented toward research. I did the first year of my masters as an exchange student in Berlin, and the macromolecular chemistry teacher was really excellent, so I fell in love with that specialty. When I went back to France I chose the polymer chemistry department for the second year of my masters and my lab training period, and I stayed for my PhD. 2. If you weren’t a chemist and could do any other job, what would it be – and why? Well I think I could have been a researcher in many other fields like physics or biology for example. What really makes me happy in my job is the research adventure. A bit like the ancient explorers, the researcher is di

Teeth Grinding Relief Do you habitually grind your teeth? Teeth grinding is a condition referred to as bruxism, and it can occur at any age and for various reasons. Clenching is when you squeeze the jaws together without sliding. Both conditions can create problems. Bruxism can lead to tooth wear and breakage, which contributes to altering a person’s bite (occlusion). Clenching can cause muscle spasms. Either of these in turn, can result in TMJ disorder, which causes nagging to debilitating symptoms including headaches. It is important to stop bruxism so that the teeth and bite remain in good health. If teeth are repaired, but grinding still occurs, new dental work will become worn and broken. How we can help: Dr. Selcher can recommend an oral appliance to prevent teeth grinding and clenching. Many people experience bruxism and clenching while sleeping when the forces you apply can be multiples of what you do when awake. The appliance may be referred to as a nightguard. Many varieties of nightguards are avail

After 11 days of fighting over the skies of Israel and Gaza, a cease-fire between Hamas and Israel was announced last week. The conflict wrought devastation in Gaza. Yet Hamas’s leaders took to television and declared victory. We look at where the organization comes from and their objectives to understand why it has, for decades, engaged in battles it knows it can’t win. Guest: Ben Hubbard, the Beirut bureau chief for The New York Times. - After the cease-fire, in addition to relief, some Gaza residents felt a sense of déjà vu, having survived several recent wars with Israel. After each war, it takes years for Gaza to recover. - Israel’s military said its airstrikes killed dozens of senior Hamas operatives and destroyed critical military infrastructure. But victory is hard to measure. For more information on today’s episode, visit nytimes.com/thedaily. Transcripts of each episode will be made available by the next workday.

Representation Being Made for CXC Students Affected by Blackout Tuesday 7th May, 2019-The Director of Education is assuring students affected by Monday’s power outage during their EDPM exams that the Ministry of Education, Science and Technology is making representation on their behalf. An investigation is being conducted by APUA to determine what led to the outage for more than an hour on Monday morning, just as students across the island had begun the first CXC administered exams for May/June, 2019. The power suppression halted the examination, since the paper that was being worked on required the use of computers. Director of Education, Clare Browne has apologized for the inconvenience and says the ministry has already held discussions with CXC officials in Bridgetown, Barbados. Director Browne explained that he had held discussions with APUA officials who gave the assurance that there were no planned outages, but what occurred appeared to have been unavoidable. He added that following the outage, every ef

No matter what industry your business is in, cash is important. Having sufficient cash on hand to cover your expenses is essential. To ensure this, you will likely want to improve your cash flow. There are many factors that can impact cash flow, thus there are many ways to enhance it. The following suggestions from Portfolio Management Group that can help almost all businesses. Get Really Good at Keeping Records Bookkeeping is an essential part of running any business efficiently. Even if you aren’t a master of finance and accounting, it is a good idea to familiarize yourself with the basics and consider hiring an accountant (even if it is an outside contractor). Having good records and reconciling your actual income and spending against your projections can help you to catch unplanned expenses or underperforming revenue quickly. Many cash flow problems only become serious issues because they go unnoticed. Work on Shortening Your Accounts Receivable Collection The amount of time it takes you to collect on inv

S. China Sea Dispute Blamed Partly on Depleted Fish Stocks May 16, 2012 by Daniel Schearf BANGKOK - China and the Philippines have announced temporary bans on fishing in areas of the South China Sea they both claim as sovereign territory. The bans may help cool tempers after ships from the two sides faced off in April. But, political analysts say a more permanent solution is needed to address a cycle of conflict partly caused by depleting fish stocks. China every year imposes a ban on fishing for several weeks in a northern part of the South China Sea. Beijing says the restriction, used for more than a decade, allows fish stocks to replenish. While the Philippines and Vietnam complain it is just another way for China to assert its claims on maritime territories that they also dispute. Ian Storey is with the Institute of Southeast Asian Studies in Singapore. He says while Beijing's annual ban on fishing may seem like a good idea for fish stocks he agrees it may have an ulterior motive. "Well, I think the prima

Planning climate action in 5 steps - Setup is where you enter basic data about the overall situation in your city and specific sectoral profiles. This information is then used repeatedly throughout CURB to help make different calculations. - Inventory converts the information provided in the Setup module into estimates of which sectors create the greatest energy demand and GHG emissions and how this situation may change over time. You also have the option to set future reduction performance targets against which progress can be measured. - Context allows you to understand the drivers of emissions and energy demand in your city. You can also compare your city with other cities across a range of key performance indicators. - Actions is the heart of the tool. This module allows you to select which sectors you would like to target based on: a) your city’s authority to take action in each sector and b) a rapid assessment of the maximum impact potential and implementation feasibility of every intervention in CURB.

For years physicists have been refining invisibility cloaks—physical setups that cleverly reroute light around a region in space, effectively concealing any object that might be inside. Now researchers at Cornell University have built the first temporal cloak, a device that obscures an object or event at a specific moment in time. In a preliminary demonstration Cornell postdoctoral researcher Moti Fridman and his colleagues shone a laser beam through an experimental apparatus and into a detector. A physical object or even another beam of light in the laser beam’s path would typically create a change in the laser light that the detector would register. With some clever optics, however, Fridman and his co-workers were able to open up a brief time gap in the beam and then close it back up as if the beam had gone undisturbed and in such a way that the detector did not register the interruption. The gap allows anything that would have otherwise affected the beam, such as an object, to instead slip right through, l

Lycopene (C40H56) is a red compound found naturally in fruits and vegetables like tomatoes, red bell peppers, apricots, pink oranges, and grapefruit. It belongs to a group of chemicals known as carotenoids. Chemically, it is made of a large polyene chain that contains 35–40 carbon atoms. Lycopene is a non- provitamin A carotenoid and shows no vitamin A activity. Your body absorbs Lycopene better in its processed form (cooked, etc.) than raw. You can also take Lycopene equally well as a supplement. You must take Lycopene supplements in the prescribed dosage. Side effects of Lycopene include: 1. How much Lycopene can you take per day? Take as prescribed as there is no fixed daily concentration of Lycopene. Studies were conducted with a Lycopene-restricted diet on healthy adults. They were given concentrations of 6.5, 15, and 30mg per day. Here, subjects who consumed 30mg of purified Lycopene daily showed the best results in keeping stomach, lung, and prostate cancer at bay. 2. What is Lycopene good for? Lycopene

Summary: It says that God heard them. Well, of course He did. Doesn’t the Bible teach that He hears our prayers? But wait a minute! It doesn’t say they were praying. (Powerpoint available - #239) MELVIN M. NEWLAND, MINISTER RIDGE CHAPEL, KANSAS, OK (PowerPoint slides used in this sermon are available at no charge. Just e-mail me at [email protected] and request #239.) (This is basically my adaptation of an excellent sermon by Bruce Howell entitled "The Day God Eavesdropped.") A. This morning we’re going to look at a passage of Scripture found in the very last book in the O.T., the book of Malachi. At the time of the writing of Malachi, the nation of Israel had once again strayed far from God. Evil abounded. Unbelief prevailed. The majority of people went their own sinful ways, giving little thought to the will or ways of God. They laughed at the prophets & showed utter contempt for God & His Law. Does that sound a lot like today? With that in mind, listen as God speaks to them through the prophet

Vyacheslav Polonski’s (University of Oxford researcher) January 10, 2018 piece (originally published Jan. 9, 2018 on The Conversation) on phys.org isn’t a gossip article although there are parts that could be read that way. Before getting to what I consider the juicy bits (Note: Links have been removed), Artificial intelligence [AI] can already predict the future. Police forces are using it to map when and where crime is likely to occur [Note: See my Nov. 23, 2017 posting about predictive policing in Vancouver for details about the first Canadian municipality to introduce the technology]. Doctors can use it to predict when a patient is most likely to have a heart attack or stroke. Researchers are even trying to give AI imagination so it can plan for unexpected consequences. Many decisions in our lives require a good forecast, and AI agents are almost always better at forecasting than their human counterparts. Yet for all these technological advances, we still seem to deeply lack confidence in AI predictions.

As oil prices continue their downward slide, most investors and firms are understandably eyeing prices, revenues, and exploration costs nervously. All that makes sense, as there is a good chance some oil firms will face liquidity crunches and restructuring over the next year. In the longer term though, there is another specter that could be equally damaging to O&G firms – a shortage of skilled labor. During the 2008 Recession, many manufacturing firms cut way back on labor and costs everywhere they could, as demand plummeted and customers started asking for lower prices. Fast forward a few years though, and demand has returned. What has not returned are many of the skilled laborers that were instrumental to the manufacturing industry’s success. Many of the industry’s best workers moved on to other fields or retired in the intervening years since the Recession. As a result, manufactures complain frequently about a lack of available skilled labor. The same thing could happen in the O&G industry. Related: UK Det

Prior to the rise of Liberal Anglicanism, gender and sexuality were not generally areas of widespread transformation or dispute in Anglicanism. There was controversy over the prospect that Elizabeth I, when she restored Protestantism to the English realm after her accession in 1558, might become the supreme head on earth of the Church of England, as Henry VIII and Edward VI had been. She was designated instead the "supreme governor." Also, there is a rich body of scholarship on the history of contributions by women in Anglicanism, and women have been ordained as Anglican deacons (assisting clergy) since the 19th century. But matters such as women ordained to the priesthood and liturgical rites for homosexual marriage simply were not culturally ripe for great ecclesiastical action or dispute. All this has changed wholesale over the last century. Indeed, it is probably safe to say that gender and sexuality have become the most visible arenas of transformation and conflict arising from Liberal Anglicanism. Liber

THE ATTITUDE OF THE WRITERS OF THE NEW TESTAMENT TOWARD THE GIFTS In the New Testament we see the gifts, but we have to consider the whole New Testament. In the book of Acts we see that Paul was powerful in divine healing during his early ministry (Acts 14:9-10; 19:11-12) though he did not stress it, but in his latter ministry when his spiritual son, Timothy, had stomach trouble, he only told him not to drink water, but to drink a little wine (1 Tim. 5:23). Also, Paul’s intention in writing 1 Corinthians was to restrict the saints a little, or at least to adjust them, that they might use the tongues properly (1 Cor. 14:6-11, 18-19). In Ephesians, the book on the church, Paul does not say anything about the miraculous gifts. In chapter four the gifts are persons. Paul knew that the best way to build up the church was not with teachings, nor with the gifts, but by the Spirit with life. In all his latter books, 1 Timothy, 2 Timothy, and Titus, Paul didn’t say a word about the miraculous gifts. Furthermore, neith

Adjusting Tension on a Treadmill Walking Belt that Slips Video It is necessary to properly tension a treadmill belt when it is replaced. After a time, the treadmill belt can stretch and may begin to slip. When this happens, it is necessary to adjust the tension of the running belt to stop it from slipping. Manufacturers of treadmills generally agree on one of three procedures for how to tension a treadmill running belt. This video covers these different procedures of how to tension a walking belt that slips. - Adjust for no slippage of the treadmill walking belt on the front roller (Often referred to as the "Stomp Test"). - This procedure works well for a previously installed belt that is now slipping. - The underside of the belt should be free of any glazing/wax buildup. - Rollers must also be free of wax buildup. - Be sure belt tracking/centering is correct before proceeding. - The most popular speed for this adjustment is 2mph to 3mph. - Try to slow the belt by applying pressure with your foot against the

Your website’s strength is only as robust as the backlinks that you’ve got. This isn’t about numbers but rather quality. Your website could be a victim if you’re surrounded by many spammy, low-quality or harmful backlinks. Here’s an analogy of real- time. Consider backlinks as a group of buddies. You do not want to be associated with unshady people, do you? This is also true for your site. Your website should only be associated with sites with the same values and interests and not some shady SEO site that is only looking to play the system. In a sense, harmful backlinks can be compared to the friends you want to stay clear of. What are Toxic Links? Toxic backlinks refer to untrustworthy or spammy links that could harm your website’s ranking on SERPs. SEOs adhere to this definition. However, there are many differences. Some might say it’s a fake link that’s put on a site solely to manipulate the rankings of a website. Some might say it’s an affiliate link from an untrustworthy or unauthentic website. No matter

Canada: From energy superpower to world colony? Canada is embarking on a series of free trade deals with China, the EU and with Pacific countries, but the silence on the subject of these agreements is deafening. There is a stark contrast between the level — and volume — of debate about Canada’s free trade deals today and the original Canada-US Free Trade Agreement in 1988. An election was fought on that free trade deal, but today Canada has signed FIPA — a free trade deal with China — with not much more than a whimper, and other deals are in the offing. Politicians across the political spectrum are jumping on the bandwagon: the Conservatives, NDP and Liberals all support the Canada EU Free Trade deal. This political group-think means these deals aren’t getting the public scrutiny they desperately need. Free trade? Really? Free trade cheerleaders love to portray critics as economic naifs who just don’t understand the wonders of free trade. But ever since the original US-Canada FTA, these deals have often been

This section looks at ways of finding the resources necessary to promote health, and conduct health education programmes. Resources inside the community Be aware of the resources within your own community that can be used in solving the problems of individuals, of groups, or of the whole village. Here are some examples of the many kinds of resources you will need: - Places to hold meetings, discussions, and training sessions, such as schools, and town halls. - Some people may be able to donate money to buy materials. - Some people may have skills that would be useful for community projects. Among these are carpenters, teachers, masons, artists, traditional healers, weavers, and potters. - Many able-bodied people can give their labour. - Some people may own bicycles, motor cycles, or ot

- To perform local sequence alignment between two nucleotide or amino acid sequences and find out structural or functional similarity. The most commonly asked question in molecular biology is whether two given sequences are related or not, in order to identify their structure or function. The most simpler way to answer this question is to compare their sequences. Sequence is a collection of nucleotides or amino acid residues which are connected with each other. Speaking biologically, a typical DNA/RNA sequence consist of nucleotides while a protein sequence consist of amino acids. Sequencing is the process to determine the nucleotide or amino acid sequence of a DNA fragment or a protein. There are different experimental methods for sequencing, and the obtained sequence is submitted to different databases like NCBI, Genbank etc. Methods of Sequencing: Sequences stored in the database were obtained from different experimental methods. Most commonly used methods for DNA sequencing are Sanger Method and Maxam-Gil
