McKenna Marlow of West Burlington High School isn't quite following in her sister's footsteps.
Marlow, a senior for the Falcons, will be competing in volleyball next fall. But while Sidney Marlow (West Burlington Class of '21) is a sophomore at Morningside University, McKenna will stay closer to home a hitter for Southeastern Community College just down the road.
“There was a little bit of pressure,” Marlow said of coming up through the program behind her sister.
“I had to step up my game to fulfill her role. She's a great athlete, and I knew that they were big shoes to fill.”
But Sidney's advice to her was “to keep my head high and just play the best version of me every game that I can and to play the best of my ability.”
Marlow, an all-district player, finished her senior year with 258 kills for the Falcons. She led the team in digs with 532 and served a team-high 40 aces.
Marlow wanted to stay close to home, and SCC is giving her a full scholarship as she sets out to eventually become an elementary school teacher.
Marlow plays basketball and runs track as well. “Just being into different sports allows me to grow connections with different people, to stay active,” she said.
Marlow said Coach Maureen Heath helped improve a lot of her skills. “She pushed me to all of my limits,” Marlow said.
“It's going to be challenging,” Marlow said of moving on to the next level, “but I'm always up for new obstacles coming my way. I have a great support system with my family, friends, and coaches.” | <urn:uuid:92903d16-6685-4df4-a033-c0dd05cff0fa> | CC-MAIN-2024-10 | https://burlingtonbeacon.com/posts/6a838089-719f-409d-b364-ed3e232ce797 | 2024-02-20T21:18:20Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-10/segments/1707947473347.0/warc/CC-MAIN-20240220211055-20240221001055-00001.warc.gz | en | 0.974906 | 441 |

Pam loved spending time with family and friends and often would be the catalyst for getting everybody together for a good time.

She did this for many events, whether it be a Christmas sweater party, a slip-and-slide down their monstrous hill on Morrell Drive, or just a random dinner night to get everybody together.
Pam enjoyed quiet times at home also, watching murder mysteries on NetFlix, beating her husband in Yahtzee on a nightly basis, and was an amazing cook.
She enjoyed traveling as well. While she loved going somewhere warm with a beach, a St. Louis Cardinals Game, or a quick trip with friends and family; her favorite place recently was Estes Park, in Colorado, Even if she didn’t fulfill her dreams of becoming a mountain woman and shooting a bear.
“Pammy” loved her family, especially her grandchildren. Nothing made her happier than shopping and spoiling them with boxes arriving from Amazon multiple times per week.
Surviving is her husband, Alan; three children, Brett (Leanna) White of Ottumwa, Courtney (Benoit) Igne of Mansfield, Mass., and Austin (Kadi) White of Grimes; four grandchildren, Arthur, Maurice, Leopold, and Breelea; her mother, Audrey Timmerman; four siblings, Tina (Mike) Diewold, Ronald Timmerman, Cheryl (Stan) Barnett, and Kent (Cheryl) Timmerman.

Strategic Management Instructor
Ph.D., Corporate Strategy and International Business, University of Michigan
MBA, University of Michigan
M.S., University of Michigan
B.S., University of Michigan
Aldas Kriauciunas is a lecturer with the business school's executive education programs. He was previously an Assistant Professor of Strategic Management and the executive director of executive education programs. He obtained his PhD in Corporate Strategy and International Business from the University of Michigan Business School.
His core strategy research question of interest is understanding factors that impede or assist firm-level change. To answer this question, Professor Kriauciunas has drawn from the economic institutions, imprinting, and knowledge-based view of the firm. His particular focus is on firms in transitional and emerging economies, given the fast pace of environmental shifts and the need for firms to respond quickly. He favors using survey-based data and has collected data across Central Europe (e.g., Lithuania, Bulgaria, Ukraine, Belarus) and in South America (Chile).
Professor Kriauciunas is a member of the Strategic Management Society, Academy of Management, and Academy of International Business. He has served as a reviewer for the Strategic Management Journal, Journal of Management, and Organization Science. At Krannert, Professor Kriauciunas has taught eight courses covering international strategy and strategic management at the undergraduate, Master's and PhD levels. He has also taught in Krannert's Executive Education programs.
He prefers to organize the classroom like a meeting rather than a lecture. In the classroom, he emphasizes the application of strategy and international business concepts and techniques. The focus on concepts is complemented by improving students' communication and analysis skills. This approach is used to develop skills that students can use to answer questions and solve problems when they enter the business world. Professor Kriauciunas has been runner-up for the Krannert Salgo Noren Teaching award for three years (2007-2010).
Prior to his doctoral studies, Professor Kriauciunas worked for six years in the U.S. Embassy in Lithuania as head of the Economic Restructuring Division in the USAID program. In this capacity, he oversaw projects related to banking development and supervision, capital markets, business development and privatization. | <urn:uuid:cd84efb8-8c54-4be5-8184-e946b5ab6162> | CC-MAIN-2024-10 | https://business.purdue.edu/directory/bio.php?username=akriauci | 2024-02-20T21:40:51Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-10/segments/1707947473347.0/warc/CC-MAIN-20240220211055-20240221001055-00001.warc.gz | en | 0.941541 | 472 |

A luggage cart cover is an important accessory for anyone who travels frequently. It can help protect your luggage from dirt, scratches, and weather damage while you are on the go. There are a variety of different types and styles of luggage cart covers available, so it is important to choose the one that best suits your needs.
Choosing the perfect luggage cart cover may seem like a daunting task, but it doesn’t have to be!
Here are 15 things to keep in mind when selecting a cover for your luggage cart:
1. The cover should be made of durable, high-quality materials:
You want a cover that will withstand repeated use and protect your luggage from the elements.
2. The cover should be easy to put on and take off:
You don’t want to waste time fumbling with a complicated cover.
3. The cover should fit snugly:
A loose-fitting cover can easily blow off in windy conditions or come undone while you’re driving.
4. The cover should have a built-in strap or handle:
This will make it easy to carry the covered luggage cart, even when it’s full.
5. The cover should have a zipper or Velcro closure:
This will keep the cover securely in place and prevent items from falling out.
6. The cover should be vented:
Vents help prevent the build-up of condensation inside the cover, which can damage your luggage.
7. The cover should have a clear window:
This will allow you to see what’s inside the covered luggage cart without having to open it up.
8. The cover should be washable:
You’ll want to be able to clean the cover periodically to keep it looking its best.
9. The cover should be available in multiple colors:
This way, you can choose a cover that complements your other travel gear.
10. The cover should be affordable:
You don’t want to spend a fortune on a cover that will only be used occasionally.
11. The cover should come with a warranty:
This will protect you in case of defects or damage.
12. The cover should be easy to store:
You should be able to fold or roll the cover up when it’s not in use.
13. The cover should be lightweight:
A heavy cover can add unnecessary weight to your luggage cart.
14. The cover should have a water-resistant or waterproof coating:
This will protect your luggage from rain, snow, and other weather conditions.
15. The cover should have reflective strips:
These will help make your luggage cart visible at night or in low-light conditions.
1. What is the best material for a luggage cart cover?
The best material for a luggage cart cover is one that is durable and easy to clean. A polyester or nylon cover is a good option.
2. How do I know if a cover will fit my luggage cart?
Most covers come in standard sizes that will fit most luggage carts. However, it’s always a good idea to measure your cart before purchasing a cover.
3. Should I get a cover with vents?
If you plan on using the cover in hot weather conditions, then vents are a good idea. They will help prevent condensation from building up inside the cover.
4. Do I need a water-resistant or waterproof cover?
If you live in an area with a lot of rain or snow, then a water-resistant or waterproof cover is a good idea. Otherwise, a standard cover will suffice.
5. How do I clean a luggage cart cover?
Most covers can be machine washed on a gentle cycle. However, it’s always a good idea to check the care instructions before washing.
When choosing a luggage cart cover, it’s important to keep your needs in mind. A durable, easy-to-clean cover is a good option for most people. However, if you live in an area with a lot of rain or snow, then you may want to get a water-resistant or waterproof cover. Be sure to measure your luggage cart before purchasing a cover and look for one that comes with a warranty.
Choosing the perfect luggage cart cover doesn’t have to be difficult. Keep these 15 things in mind and you’ll be sure to find a cover that suits your needs.

The Dunning-Kruger Effect is Autocorrelation
"The Dunning-Kruger effect also emerges from data in which it shouldn’t. For instance, if you carefully craft random data so that it does not contain a Dunning-Kruger effect, you will still find the effect. The reason turns out to be embarrassingly simple: the Dunning-Kruger effect has nothing to do with human psychology.1 It is a statistical artifact — a stunning example of autocorrelation."
My knowledge of statistics and psychology is too limited to really have an opinion on this. What do you think?

AI doomerism is also AI hype
Very good thread by computational linguistics Prof. Emily M. Bender.
"The idea that synthetic text extruding machines are harbingers of AGI that is on the verge of combusting into consciousness and then turning on humanity is unscientific nonsense.

Content formats have a major impact on social sharing. However, this impact varies significantly from area to area. If you are creating content about kitchens or gardens then list posts and images are shared far more than other formats. Whilst if you creating content about carp fishing then videos are shared 100 times more than any other format. I have outlined below how to identify the content formats that work in your industry and how to find the most shared examples to learn from whether they are list posts, infographics, videos or quizzes.
If you are a BuzzSumo Po customer go to the content analysis report and run a series of reports for your topics to see the most shared content formats. Below are examples of the most shared content formats for topics ranging from email marketing to kitchen design.
As you can see the most shared content format varies significantly from topic to topic. Let’s look at how you can see the actual content that is performing within a particular format.
A well kept secret, until now, is searching for well shared list posts. Let’s say list posts are one of the most successful formats in your area you can find the most shared by searching for your topic plus a number. We know at BuzzSumo that some of the most successful list posts have 10 items. Thus if we search for “social media” 10 we will see the most shared list posts that start with a 10. We can add other numbers to our search for example “social media” 10 OR “social media” 5. This will show you the most shared posts that start with a 10 or a 5 as shown below. View the actual results.
You can do this for multiple list numbers, just remember that you need the topic along with the number eahc time after the OR statement.
You can also search for the most shared list posts of big industry sites or your competitor. Just type in their domain with numbers after as follows Moz.com 5 OR 10. View the actual Moz results.
Quizzes are very well shared across the internet. To see just how popular simply type the word quiz into BuzzSumo and you will see that quizzes can get many millions of shares. To see what is working in your area or for a particular site you can add the word quiz to a domain search, for example buzzfeed.com quiz. This will show you the most shared quizzes on Buzzfeed as shown below. See the actual Buzzfeed results.
If you do this search for Buzzfeed you will see that they have found a format that works for them, namely “the hardest …. quiz”. You can also see what is working in your area by typing a topic followed by quiz for example SEO quiz. If you are planning to say create a new quiz such as a quiz around the Big Bang TV show you can search for “Big Bang” quiz to see previous quizzes and how well they have been shared.
Infographics remain highly shareable in many areas. To find the most shared infographics for any topic or domain simply use the BuzzSumo filter for infographics as shown below.
This can be a very useful way of researching ideas for infographics. You can see what works and check you are not about to duplicate a recent infographic.
Videos work well in many areas and they appear to be becoming more popular. To search for the most shared videos you can again use the left hand filter in BuzzSumo.
It is clear that different content formats resonate with different audiences. To improve your content marketing you should spend time researching what content formats work in your area and give yourself the best possible chance of producing content that will get shared and viewed.

St. Sampson the Hospitaller was the son of rich and illustrious Roman parents. In his youth, he received an excellent education. He studied the medical arts and doctored the sick without charge. After the death of his parents, St. Sampson generously distributed alms and set his slaves free, preparing himself to go into the wilderness. With this intent in mind, he soon journeyed from Rome to the East. But the Lord directed him into a different path, that of service to neighbor, and so St. Sampson came to Constantinople. Settling into a small house, the saint began to take in homeless wanderers, the poor and the sick, and he attended to them. The Lord blessed the efforts of St. Sampson and endowed him with the power of wonderworking. He healed the sick not only through being a skilled physician but also as a bearer of the grace of God. News of St. Sampson spread abroad. The patriarch heard of his great virtue and ordained him to the holy priesthood. It was revealed to the grievously ill Emperor Justinian (527-565), that he could receive healing only through St. Sampson. While praying, the saint put his hand on the afflicted area and Justinian was healed. In gratitude, the emperor wanted to reward his healer with silver and gold, but the saint refused and instead asked Justinian to build a home for the poor and the sick. The emperor readily fulfilled his request. St. Sampson devoted the rest of his life to serving his neighbor.
By your patience you reaped your reward, O venerable Father. Your prayers were without end as was your love and solicitude for the poor. Pray to Christ for our salvation, O blessed and merciful Sampson.
You come quickly bearing heaven’s cures like some skillful doctor, O wise Sampson. We have assembled together with songs and chants, desiring to glorify Christ who works these marvels through you.
Romans 9: 18 – 33
Brothers and sisters: God has mercy on whom he wishes, and whom he wishes he makes hard-hearted. You will say to me, “Why, then, does he find fault? For who can oppose his will?” Friend, who are you to answer God back? Does something molded say to its molder, “Why did you make me like this?” Does a potter have the right to make from the same lump of clay one vessel for a lofty purpose and another for a humble one? What if God, wishing to show his wrath and make known his power, has endured with much patience vessels fit for wrath, ready to be destroyed, and did so in order to make known the riches of his glory towards the vessels for mercy – which he prepared for glory – I am speaking about us whom he called, not only from among the Jews, but from among the Gentiles.
As it says in the Book of Hosea: “Those who were not my people I will call ‘my people,’ and those who were not loved I will call ‘Beloved’; in the very place where it was said to them, ‘You are not my people,’ but they shall be called sons of the living God.” Isaiah cries out, referring to Israel, “Though the number of Israelites should be as the sands of the sea, only the remnants will be saved, for quickly and decisively will the Lord execute sentence upon the earth.” It is just as Isaiah predicted: “Unless the Lord of hosts had left us a remnant, we should have become as Sodom, we should be like Gemorrah.”
How, then, shall we put it? That the Gentiles, who were not seeking justice, attained it – the justice which comes from faith – while Israel, seeking a law from which justice would come, did not arrive at that law? And why did it not? Because justice comes from faith, not from works. They stumbled over the stumbling stone, as Scripture says: “Behold, I am placing in Zion a stone to make men stumble and a rock to make them fall; but he who believes in him will not be put to shame.”
Matthew 11: 2-15
At that time when John, in prison, heard about the works Christ was performing, he sent a message by his disciples to ask Jesus, “Are you ‘He who is to come’ or do we look for another?” In reply, Jesus said to them: “Go back and report to John what you hear and see: the blind will recover their sight, cripples walk, lepers are cured, the deaf hear, dead men are raised to life, and the poor have the good news preached to them. Blest is the man who finds no stumbling block in me.”
As the messengers set off, Jesus began to speak to the crowds concerning John: “What did you go out to the wasteland to see–a reed swaying in the wind? Tell me, what did you go out to see–someone luxuriously dressed? Remember, those who dress luxuriously are to be found in royal palaces. Why then did you go out–to see a prophet? A prophet indeed, and something more! It is about this man that Scripture says, “I send my messenger ahead of you to prepare your way before you.’
“I solemnly assure you, history has known a man born of woman greater than John the Baptizer. Yet the least born into the kingdom of God is greater than he. From John the Baptizer’s time until now the kingdom of God has suffered violence, and the violent take it by force. All the prophets as well as the law spoke prophetically until John. If you are prepared to accept it, he is Elijah, the one who was certain to come. Heed carefully what you hear!’

This report presents the results of a 2015 study of energy efficiency (EE) initiatives undertaken in African countries. This study, commissioned by the Copenhagen Centre on Energy Efficiency (C2E2), focuses on the areas of success, barriers encountered and improvements in access to energy for the general population. The aim of the study is to identify and suggest areas for future engagement in order to accelerate energy efficiency in the region.
The continent of Africa is second only in population to Asia. In spite of this, Africa consumes only 6% of the world’s primary energy. The potential for growth in energy consumption in Africa is rooted mainly in the need for improved access to energy for its people, and also in the continued economic growth of many of its constituent countries. On average 60% of Africans do not have access to clean, reliable energy, and 80% still use traditional biomass for cooking. This results in significant socio-economic, health and environmental disadvantages. Although the potential for improving the implementation of energy efficiency policies and programs exists in all sectors of the African economy, it is often access to energy that takes priority. In reality, the two concepts are inextricably linked: improved EE frees capacity for improving access, while providing access in an energy-efficient manner is more cost-effective than retrofitting at a later stage.

The Zone of Interest – which has been nominated for five Oscars, including Best Picture – issues a warning from just outside the walls of Auschwitz, spreading its soul-sickness across each frame. It studies the domestic life of Rudolf Hoss (Christian Friedel), the real-life commandant at the concentration camp in Nazi-occupied Poland where an estimated 1.1 million people – 960,000 of them Jewish – were murdered. He lived at that time, with his family, in a corner of Auschwitz I, where a gas chamber and a crematorium were built.
Laundry is hung out to dry in the sun. A boy shares his first kiss around the back of the house. Hoss walks down to the nearby river to fish. At first glance, these images may seem innocent – idyllic, even. But we must bear witness to their details and testify to their significance: the rail-thin bodies in muddied uniforms, silently delivering the week’s groceries; the barbed wire that trims every exterior wall; the smoke issued from a train that skims across the top of the screen. Hoss’s wife, Hedwig (Anatomy of a Fall’s Sandra Huller), leads her visiting mother around the property’s vegetable patch. A faint, anguished scream interrupts the flow of conversation. Hedwig pauses for a moment and then continues.
Taking loose inspiration from a 2014 novel by the late Martin Amis, director Jonathan Glazer demonstrates Hannah Arendt’s “banality of evil” theory at work. First conceived during the 1960 trial of Adolf Eichmann, an SS officer and one of the primary architects of the Holocaust, the term views the enactment of such unspeakable crimes through a lens of “sheer thoughtlessness” – that men like Eichmann and Hoss hid their evil beneath ordinary turns of phrase, mindless action, and quotidian bureaucracy.
And it is unavoidable, now, that Arendt’s words reflect back to us. “This is not a film about the past,” the director has said. “It’s trying to be about now, and about us and our similarity to the perpetrators, not our similarity to the victims." When Hoss is ordered to relocate to Berlin, his wife becomes inconsolable. She refuses to leave the house she’s transformed into her own fortress of delusion. We see uniformed officers, these machines of death, standing at the gates. But Hoss will ensure his boots are washed of blood before he steps across the threshold.
In the kitchen, the wives howl, gossiping about the clothes they stole off Jewish victims. But they will not utter a word about the fires they see burn at night. Huller’s intelligently pitched performance allows Hedwig’s mock nonchalance to crumble for a moment when she tells the Jewish woman who works in her home that she could “have my husband spread your ashes” across the countryside.
It’s a tidy home, rendered uncanny and hostile by Åukasz Å»al’s cinematography. In Glazer’s last film, 2013’s Under the Skin, the director relied on hidden cameras to track an extraterrestrial Scarlett Johansson’s journey across Glasgow. He does the same here, with 10 fixed cameras dotted around the house, controlled via remote. An extended title sequence provides a kind of sensory deprivation. A darkened screen gives way to the hellish sirens of Mica Levi’s score, before we awaken, powerless to disrupt Hoss’s hermetic reality. At the very end, Glazer chooses to flash forward, his intentions made concrete – the evils of today will leave their own scars on history.

Many of you know Carla M. Calabrese of Calabrese Budner for the past 30 plus years as a well-respected, top-tier Dallas family law attorney, a pioneer of her firm’s specialized services – Emotionally Intelligent Divorce® and a Master level credentialed lawyer (one of only 5 in the area) of the Collaborative Divorce model nearing its 22nd year of existence in Dallas, Texas. You might not know that Carla also spent the last 30 years handling all things family formation, such as adoption, surrogacy, egg and embryo donation, and the like.
Outside the traditional route, adoption is still one of the main ways couples expand their families. Surrogacy and egg and embryo donation are close seconds. Carla’s family formation practice was born early on from a thought she had when starting her divorce practice,
“if I am going to be involved in pulling families apart, I’d like to be a part of putting them together.”
And put them together, she has! As a member of the international and well-respected legal association known as the Adoption and Assisted Reproductive Attorney Academy, Carla has helped hundreds of families adopt babies and children over the years. She has touched every aspect of adoption, including domestic and international adoption, private adoption, interstate adoption, agency adoption, birth parent representation, agency representation, contested termination of parental rights, and fixing cases with complicated interstate compact laws where she recalls “adoptive parents were sent in the wrong direction by someone whose heart was in the right place for sure.”
Carla even founded two adoption agencies, a private agency named A Cradle of Hope (www.cradleofhope.com) [and the well-known local non-profit, Hope International Adoption and Humanitarian Agency (www.hopeadoption.org). Hope’s mission – to help as many orphaned children find homes forever here in the US while giving humanitarian aid to those children left behind – has touched the hearts of many Dallasites and others who graciously support this worthwhile cause.
Over the last 30 plus years, Carla watched the medical advancements with assisted reproductive technology (ARTS) go from “good luck with that” to “you know you should consider ARTS since you can almost guarantee yourself a baby nowadays.” Carla has two children in their 20s, one of whom was adopted at birth.
Having adopted a child herself and experiencing first-hand the emotions of wanting a child and knowing as a professional how overwhelming the entire process can be, Carla offers prospective adoptive parents her “Adoption A-Z” consults. She says, “once you spend an hour or so with me, you’ll know everything you need to know about family formation, including adoption and ARTS, and hopefully, you will be able to decide which route is best for you and your family.”
Carla and her Calabrese Budner Team love being involved in family formation, spouting, “it’s the happy part of family law.” | <urn:uuid:3561ffbd-7403-4df8-9726-0d64b04cf85f> | CC-MAIN-2024-10 | https://calabresebudner.com/blog/2022/02/2022-02-carla-calabrese-dallas-esteemed-adoption-attorney/ | 2024-02-20T23:20:25Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-10/segments/1707947473347.0/warc/CC-MAIN-20240220211055-20240221001055-00001.warc.gz | en | 0.962238 | 650 |
Juniper removal may not increase overall Klamath River Basin water yields
Based on published research and watershed assessment techniques, we evaluated the feasibility of augmenting water yields in the Klamath River and its major tributaries by removing western juniper, which has expanded dramatically within the Klamath River Basin over the past 130 years. The results suggest that the conversion of western juniper woodlands to shrublands or grasslands would not substantially increase water yields for the Basin as a whole. However, researchers should further examine the potential for juniper management to increase both summer flow rates in small tributaries and spring flows that support small wetlands across the upper Basin; other possible benefits could include restoring wildlife in sagebrush-rangeland habitat, reducing wildfire risks and increasing the land available for livestock grazing.
Recent droughts in the western United States have highlighted the overall scarcity of surface and ground-water supplies, and intensified the conflict between competing water-use demands. Regional water shortages could increase during this century, given the reduced precipitation and increased temperatures forecast by some climate change models. The Klamath River Basin (fig. 1) provides a prime example of the challenges created by an inadequate water supply, particularly in a region with multiple competing uses, such as salmon fisheries, farming, livestock production and power generation.
In 2001, for example, water shortage forecasts in the Klamath River resulted in the closure of agricultural irrigation supplies in order to maintain adequate in-stream flows for salmon runs. Levy (2003) reported that this closure resulted in agricultural losses exceeding $200 million. Conversely, in 2002 water was rationed to irrigation rather than to in-stream flows. This resulted in one of the worst fish kills in western U.S. history, claiming more than 30,000 salmon and steelhead in the lower Klamath River (Levy 2003). The conflict over Klamath River water continues: Recent federal advisory committee recommendations to protect fish species resulted in major cutbacks on commercial salmon fishing along 700 miles of California and Oregon coastline, significantly affecting the economies of coastal fishing communities.
In the Klamath River Basin, water for irrigation, power, drinking and wildlife is scarce, and competition for this limited resource remains intense. In recent decades, the range of native juniper (background), a water-demanding tree, has expanded in the region due to fire suppression and land-use changes.
Western juniper control
Stakeholders throughout the Basin are interested in watershed management alternatives to increase flow volumes in the Klamath River and its major tributaries. Some land managers are considering or have been restoring sagebrush rangelands by removing western juniper (Juniperus occidentalis) in arid tributaries of the eastern Klamath River Basin where it has become dominant due to fire suppression (figs. 1 and 2). Western juniper is a water-demanding evergreen tree that was historically restricted across north-east California and eastern Oregon by naturally occurring fires. However, fire prevention and control in the region have allowed western juniper to increase in extent and dominance over the past 130 years (Miller et al. 2005). One possible consequence of increased juniper dominance is that a greater portion of precipitation falling in these arid sub-basins is used by juniper trees, resulting in reduced stream flows and ground-water recharge (Bosch and Hewlett 1982; Wilcox 2002).
Evapotranspiration: The sum of transpiration and evaporation of water from a watershed or site.
Interception: The portion of precipitation retained by vegetation canopy or litter and lost from a watershed or site as evaporation.
Stemflow: The portion of precipitation that reaches the soil surface by flowing down the stems of trees, shrubs, forbs or grasses.
Throughfall: The portion of precipitation that reaches the soil surface by passing through, or dripping from, vegetation canopy.
Transpiration: The process by which plants take water from the soil through their roots and lose it to the atmosphere via their leaves.
Fig. 1. The Klamath River Basin and the Scott River, Shasta River, Butte Valley and Lost River watersheds of Northern California and southern Oregon.
Replacing a relatively high water-use vegetation community such as juniper with a lower water-use community such as grasses is a common strategy to reduce plant-related water losses (Hibbert 1983). Reducing juniper densities can also provide other ecological and economic benefits, including increased forage production and quality for livestock and native wildlife, enhanced plant diversity, and reduced bare soil and erosion (Bates et al. 2000; Vaitkus and Eddleman 1987; Pierson et al. 2007).
The general expectation of ecological and hydrological benefits has led to hundreds of relatively small (1 to 1,000 acre) projects designed to convert juniper to sagebrush- or grass-dominated communities across the four arid watersheds of the Klamath River Basin located in California (figs. 1 and 2), as well as in the Oregon portion of the Basin. Most juniper control projects involve prescribed burning and cutting, and some are a combination of cutting and the removal of downed trees by prescribed burning.
We utilized existing research results to examine the possible hydrological consequences of increased juniper dominance in an arid to semiarid watershed, and the circumstances under which significant water-yield increases can be expected from juniper reduction projects such as those occurring in the Klamath River Basin. To assess the feasibility of augmenting Klamath River flows by removing juniper from these watersheds, we combined these research results with available rainfall and vegetation-dominance data for the major juniper-populated watersheds within the California portion of the Klamath River Basin.
Fig. 2. Juniper-dominated areas and isohyetals (lines) showing total average annual precipitation (centimeters) within California for the Scott River, Shasta River, Butte Valley and southern Lost River watersheds. Bold isohyetals show watershed portions with more than 45 centimeters (17.7 inches) of annual precipitation. Only a small area in the northern Scott River watershed has both juniper dominance and greater than 45 centimeters (17.7 inches) annual precipitation.
Impacts on stream flow
Vegetation type is one factor that influences key hydrological processes that determine stream flow or water yield from a watershed. The water balance equation (Equation 1) accounts for the precipitation and subsequent water transport and storage, within as well as loss from, the watershed. Using this equation, Wilcox (2002) depicted the connection between vegetation and water budgets:P = ET + R + G + δS (Equation 1)
The volume of precipitation (P) falling on a watershed is equal to the sum of ET or water lost by evapotranspiration (including evaporation from surface water, soil surface or vegetation surfaces [E] and transpiration by plants [T]), surface runoff as stream flow (R) or stored as groundwater (G) and change in soil water (δS).
Eddleman et al. (1994) stated that, depending on the type, density and distribution of the vegetation that juniper invades, hydrological consequences may include increased vegetative interception, and a greater volume of water annually transpired and evaporated from juniper-dominated sites. While deep-rooted woody vegetation such as juniper tends to reduce water yields, a mix of shallow-rooted grasses and water-use-efficient shrubs tends to optimize water yields (Hibbert 1983). Conversion to less-water-demanding vegetation types affects site hydrology by: (1) decreasing leaf area and bio-mass, thereby reducing the amount of precipitation intercepted by vegetation canopy and lost due to evaporation (E), and (2) reducing the amount and depth from which water is withdrawn from the soil by transpiration (T) (Wilcox 2002). By reducing evapotranspiration, conversion to such low-water-use vegetation would potentially increase runoff, groundwater recharge and soil water storage.
Numerous juniper removal projects have been implemented in the Klamath River Basin, including by cutting and prescribed burning.
However, this method of increasing water yield to arid watersheds in the eastern Klamath River Basin must be applied cautiously. Examining studies in arid and semiarid lands, Hibbert (1983) concluded that less than 1% of rangelands in the western United States are conducive to being successfully managed for increased water yield by vegetation conversion.
In arid watersheds, the potential to increase stream flow is complicated by high evaporation potential, high percentage of bare ground, and high direct evaporation of soil water (Bosch and Hewlett 1982; Hibbert 1983; Wilcox et al. 2002). Evaporation potential in arid watersheds can be so high that even when woody plant removal reduces transpiration, any soil water made available is then stored in the soil profile, directly evaporated from the soil profile, and/ or used by the plants that replace the woody vegetation. Under these circumstances, increased stream flow or groundwater recharge is not realized. Likewise, Huxman et al. (2005) reported that as woody vegetation was removed from an arid site, soil water evaporation was increased due to reduced soil surface shading. Huxman et al. (2005) also found that reduced tree canopies increased wind velocities at ground level, which enhanced transpiration by herbaceous plants and evaporation from bare soil.
Impact of juniper expansion
During the past century in the Northwest, including the upper Klamath River Basin, the area occupied by western juniper has roughly doubled (Miller et al. 2005). Larsen (1993) postulated that the actual expansion rate in central Oregon was greater than 24,000 acres (9,712 hectares) per year. Miller and Rose (1995) reported that over 97% of western juniper woodlands in Oregon were dominated by trees less than 100 years old, indicating a massive recruitment of juniper during the past century of fire suppression. Although the range of juniper has shown considerable fluctuations in the past, recent expansion differs in that it is occurring under increasingly dry conditions (Miller and Wigand 1994). This expansion has been attributed to climate change, fire suppression and excessive grazing (Burkhardt and Tisdale 1976; Miller and Rose 1995). Once junipers are established at a site, their dominance appears to be essentially unaffected by competition from other plant species (Miller and Wigand 1994).
The shift to juniper dominance reduces the biomass and productivity of understory vegetation, as well as soil surface cover (Vaitkus and Eddleman 1987). This increased bare ground may reduce soil surface infiltration rates, which in turn would increase overland flow and reduce soil water storage. Pierson et al. (2007) found that even at lower rainfall rates, juniper-dominated hillslopes produced significantly more soil surface runoff and erosion than hillslopes with juniper removed in southeast Oregon.
Overall, evapotranspiration (ET) is the dominant water-budget component affected by juniper encroachment and juniper control projects. Evapotranspiration is composed of the following components: interception (I), evaporation (E) and transpiration (T) (Huxman et al. 2005; Wilcox 2002):ET = I + E + T (Equation 2)
Interception and evaporation
Estimated interception by juniper trees varies considerably, and most published studies have focused on measuring interception by individual trees rather than at the watershed scale (table 1). Eddleman et al. (1994) reported that interception rates are largely dependent on factors such as vegetation size, distribution and density, as well as storm intensity, duration and precipitation type. Interception can be separated into four components: canopy interception, litter interception, throughfall (leaf drip) and stem flow. Vegetation on-site following juniper removal determines the long-term changes in interception. For instance, big sagebrush (Artemisia tridentata) is a common dominant shrub where juniper is expanding, and it exhibits similar interception rates to those reported for western juniper (table 1). The determining factor is how the total vegetative surface area (juniper plus sagebrush) changes due to juniper encroachment and subsequent removal.
Total interception does not represent total evaporative loss, because some intercepted precipitation may reach the ground as throughfall or stem flow. While throughfall could be intercepted by litter below the tree canopy and then be lost to evaporation, stem flow will most often reach the soil profile. Young et al. (1984) and Larsen (1993) documented juniper stem flow to be less than 5% of total precipitation, but suggested it still may provide a significant advantage for juniper growth.
Important factors determining the amount of precipitation intercepted by juniper canopy during an individual storm event are storm intensity (precipitation rate), depth and duration. The canopy of each juniper has a certain interception capacity, and once this capacity is filled, any additional precipitation will reach the soil surface as throughfall or stem flow. Estimations of annual interception by juniper in a watershed must account for the number of storms that exceed the available interception capacity.
There is little published information on the effect of storm intensity, depth and duration on interception by juniper. However, these factors vary significantly across the four major tributary watersheds of the Klamath River Basin in California. For example, from the western edge of the Scott River watershed to the eastern edge of the Lost River watershed (fig. 2), the depth of precipitation ranges from 0.9 inches (2.3 centimeters) to 2.0 inches (5.1 centimeters) for a 6-hour storm event occurring on average every 2 years (NOAA 1973). For a 24-hour storm event occurring on average every 2 years, the depth of precipitation ranges from 1.9 inches (4.8 centimeters) to 4.5 inches (11.4 centimeters) (NOAA 1973).
While interception and subsequent evaporative losses for western juniper litter on the soil surface are not known, interception by juniper litter may be considerable and possibly even greater than that by the canopy. Gifford (1970) reported that for closed canopies of pin-yon pine (Pinus edulis) and Utah juniper (Juniperus osteosperma), 3.8 inches (9.6 centimeters) of precipitation penetrated only 9.8 inches (25 centimeters) into litter averaging 15 inches (38 centimeters) deep, never reaching the mineral soil surface. Conversely, for broken canopies at similar input volumes, water penetrated 59 inches (150 centimeters) into the soil profile. Thurow and Hester (1997) speculated that precipitation from most low-intensity, short-duration storms does not infiltrate into the soil profile due to canopy and litter interception.
Water losses from transpiration can be substantial (table 2) because western juniper is evergreen and possesses a root system that can readily exploit soil moisture throughout the soil profile (Miller et al. 1990; Young et al. 1984).
Increased transpiration affects water budgets by increasing the soil-water recharge demand (deficit) and reducing stream flow or groundwater recharge. Transpiration is driven by the moisture gradient (water potential) from moist soils near the roots to dry atmosphere at the leaf surface. Thus, transpiration rates are dependent upon soil moisture, relative humidity and air movement, which vary from site to site as well as across seasons and years. In southeastern Oregon juniper woodlands, Bates et al. (2000) illustrated a clear pattern of seasonal soil moisture depletion from April through September due to juniper transpiration, and the subsequent reduction in transpiration rates as soil moisture was depleted.
Conversion and water yield
We found no quantitative studies assessing the conversion of western juniper for water yield augmentation. This represents an obvious gap in our knowledge of the feasibility of increasing water yields by removing western juniper in the Klamath River Basin. However, four studies have reported results on other juniper species in the western United States. These four juniper conversion projects had variable results, which could be attributed to differences in geographic location, precipitation regime, soil and geologic type, as well as in removal and post-removal activities (Hawkins 1987).
First, in a 12-year study of a southeastern Arizona watershed that was approximately 213 square miles (551 square kilometers), Collings and Myrick (1966) found no significant increase in annual water yield following juniper (J. osteosperma and J. deppeana) removal by cutting and prescribed burn. Annual precipitation at the study site was 20 inches (51 centimeters).
Second, in a 5-year study, Gifford (1975) examined storm runoff volumes from 1-acre (0.4-hectare) sites in southern Utah following juniper control by chaining (dragging a heavy chain between two bulldozers) with downed trees left on-site, compared to chaining with downed trees either left on-site or windrowed (piled into long rows). No information regarding mean annual precipitation was reported for either site. Gifford reported a 1.2- to 5-fold increase in runoff for the chained-with-windrowing treatment. No changes in runoff were observed where downed trees were left on-site after chaining, because the debris detained runoff and enhanced infiltration.
Third, Baker (1984) reported on a 14-year study of water yield following Utah juniper control with herbicide treatment on a 363-acre (147-hectare) subbasin in central Arizona. Average annual precipitation at the site was 18 inches (46.3 centimeters). Baker found an increase in annual stream flow of 157% in the first 2 years posttreatment, which was apparent but not statistically significant 8 years posttreatment.
Fourth, Dugas et al. (1998) documented a direct reduction in evapo-transpiration by removing Ashe juniper (Juniperus ashei) cover on central Texas plots that were 0.6 square mile (1.5 square kilometers) with annual precipitation averaging 26.5 inches (67.3 centimeters). In this study, juniper removal caused an overall decrease in evapotranspiration by only 0.003 inch (0.07 millimeter) per day. A sustained reduction in evapotranspiration rates was limited due to the increased growth of herbaceous vegetation following juniper removal.
Rainfall is key
In an extensive review of 94 conversion experiments in various vegetation types, Bosch and Hewlett (1982) found no increases in water yield in areas averaging less than 17.7 inches (45 centimeters) of annual precipitation. Hibbert (1983) concurred with these findings, and reported that mean annual precipitation could be used as a principal determinant for the potential success of augmenting water yield. Wilcox (2002) further stressed that there is little prospect of increasing stream flows where mean annual precipitation is less than 19.7 inches (50 centimeters).
How much removal?
The literature on how much juniper removal is required to increase water yields is limited. Bosch and Hewlett (1982) proposed that the amount of vegetative cover removed is proportional to changes in water yield and that, for many areas, removing less than 20% of the cover would not yield detectable changes in stream flows. In contrast, Hibbert (1983) reported that the relationship between percentage of vegetation removed and reduced transpiration is nonlinear, and that meaningful reductions in transpiration in arid environments are only achieved at high levels of removal. For instance, removing half of the deep-rooted vegetation may hypothetically result in only a 20% reduction in transpiration.
This review and analysis found that even the complete removal of juniper is not likely to significantly increase water yields in the California portion of the Klamath River Basin. Above, the Big Juniper drainage, between Alturas and Likely.
Hibbert also cautioned that tradeoffs exist between canopy removal and soil water evaporation because as greater amounts of canopy are removed, increases in solar radiation and wind energy may in turn increase the direct evaporation of soil moisture. It is critical that postremoval site evapotranspiration be maintained at low levels by converting residual vegetation to types that demand lower volumes of water. Hibbert recommended following juniper removal with the active seeding of grasses or other low-water-use vegetation. Dugas et al. (1998) suggested grazing treated sites to further limit the evapotranspiration demands from herbaceous plants.
Conversion may not increase water
Research published to date indicates that increasing water yields by juniper conversion is only feasible in portions of the Scott River, Shasta River, Butte Valley and southern Lost River watersheds where annual precipitation is greater than 17.7 inches (45 centimeters) (Bosch and Hewlett 1982; Hibbert 1983; Wilcox 2002). The primary mechanisms of water yield increase are reduced precipitation interception, evaporation and transpiration. In order to apply this information to the four Klamath River tributaries in California that have significant areas dominated by juniper woodland, we sought to: (1) identify the areas dominated by juniper, (2) determine which areas have average annual precipitation above 17.7 inches and (3) determine the extent of overlap between the juniper-dominated areas and those receiving greater than 17.7 inches of annual precipitation.
We used a geographic information system (ArcGIS 9.0) to manage and overlay available spatial data layers of: (1) watershed boundary, (2) dominant vegetation and (3) annual precipitation for the portion of the Klamath River Basin defined by the boundaries of the Scott River, Shasta River, Butte Valley and southern Lost River watersheds within California. We did not consider portions of the Klamath River Basin within Oregon due to significant differences in the scale of available spatial vegetation data for the two states. The Gap Analysis of Mainland, Calif. (CSGA 1998) was utilized to delineate the areas of these watersheds dominated by juniper (minimum mapping unit greater than 247 acres [100 hectares]). Annual precipitation data for these watersheds was obtained from CSIL (2000), and lines connecting points of equal precipitation (isohyetal precipitation lines) were estimated for the four watersheds.
We defined mapping units as dominated by western juniper when they had greater than 20% western juniper canopy (CSGA 1998) (fig. 2, table 3). Western juniper dominance was not observed in lower portions of the Klamath River Basin due to high precipitation in this area.
Based upon this analysis (fig. 2), we found that only 4,438 acres (1,796 hectares) within the 520,000-acre Scott River watershed are dominated by juniper and have greater than 17.7 inches of annual precipitation. There are no areas within the Shasta River, Butte Valley or southern Lost River watersheds that meet these requirements for expected water-yield increase by juniper removal. Only small areas in the extreme southern portion of these watersheds even have annual precipitation greater than 17.7 inches. Based upon this assessment and the assumptions stated, we can find no strong evidence that water yield from these watersheds can be substantially increased by even the complete removal of juniper.
However, it is important to remember the limitations of this analysis. First, there were substantial data and research gaps in our knowledge of how western juniper influences the hydrology and water budgets of watersheds in this region of Northern California. For example, field studies are needed at multiple spatial scales (from small catchments to entire watersheds) to examine how the water budget is affected by factors such as juniper coverage, age distribution and management; associate vegetation type; soil and geology; and precipitation amount, intensity and duration. In addition, the spatial scale used in this analysis was coarse, constrained by available vegetation data (> 247-acre minimum mapping unit) and in particular by precipitation data with a maximum reliable scale of 1:100,000 (CSIL 2000). Opportunities for small-scale water yield increases (such as increasing spring-wetland flow and extent in small catchments) cannot be adequately evaluated with the available data.
Our observations, and the experience of on-the-ground land managers, is that small increases in base flow and spring-associated stream flows have been realized after juniper conversion and wildfire in areas of the Lost River watershed. These increased flows are measured on the scale of tenths of a cubic foot per second of summer base flow in perennial streams, and increased duration of summer flow on intermittent streams. Although insignificant in the arena of increasing Klamath River flows, these flows are extremely critical for maintaining aquatic habitat and drinking water for wildlife as well as livestock. Given the importance and potential ecological and range management benefits of enhanced surface-water flows in this arid region, and the potential wildlife habitat and range quality improvements that could result from juniper removal, field-based research should be conducted to improve our understanding of the role that juniper plays in local hydrology and the opportunities for managing juniper to augment local soil moisture and surface flows. | <urn:uuid:13e04029-b4d8-4ba0-a77d-ffcfa3e41c7e> | CC-MAIN-2024-10 | https://calag.ucanr.edu/archive/?article=ca.v061n04p166 | 2024-02-20T21:58:56Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-10/segments/1707947473347.0/warc/CC-MAIN-20240220211055-20240221001055-00001.warc.gz | en | 0.933178 | 5,236 |

Please join the Western Governors’ Association and the Payne Institute for Public Policy at the Colorado School of Mines as we welcome Payne Institute CCUS Program Manager Anna Littlefield presenting Stakeholder Engagement and Social License to Operate at the the Decarbonizing the West Initiative Hybrid Workshop on Thursday, February 8, 2024 in Denver, CO.
The third workshop of Wyoming Governor Mark Gordon’s WGA Chair Initiative, Decarbonizing the West, will be held at the Art Hotel in Denver, Colorado on February 7 and 8.
This workshop, hosted by Colorado Governor Jared Polis, will examine issues related to carbon removal technologies including direct air capture (DAC), carbon transport, and geologic carbon storage.
Along with remarks from Governor Polis and Governor Gordon, the two-day meeting will feature policymakers and experts from across the West in roundtable discussions about commercialization and development pathways for DAC, policy frameworks for long-term carbon storage, and various applications for carbon removal technologies.
8:45 – 9:40 a.m.: Roundtable 5: Stakeholder Engagement and Social License to Operate
Public perception for carbon management is a significant barrier to deploying carbon capture and storage technologies at scale. This is due in part to a lack of education and understanding of the technologies at play and the complexity of the energy system as a whole. Educational programs at all levels and community outreach can help inform the public on the benefits of these systems. This panel will address social barriers to the development of carbon removal projects and will explore best practices for stakeholder and tribal engagement.
Panelists: Quinn Antus, Carbon Management and CDR Program Manager, Colorado Energy Office, Joey Minervini, Public Affairs Manager – Americas, Global CCS Institute, Anna Littlefield, CCUS Program Manager, Payne Institute at Colorado School of Mines, Dana Gava, Physical Scientist – UIC Class VI Implementation, U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, Kelli Roemer, U.S. Dept. of Energy Office of Fossil Energy and Carbon Management | <urn:uuid:7ac8e156-9327-4fc2-99a9-ea397b42ed63> | CC-MAIN-2024-10 | https://calendar.mines.edu/event/stakeholder-engagement-and-social-license-to-operate-hybrid-workshop-february-8/ | 2024-02-21T00:02:55Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-10/segments/1707947473347.0/warc/CC-MAIN-20240220211055-20240221001055-00001.warc.gz | en | 0.895853 | 416 |
Canyon Crest Academy was the first school in the district, and one of the first in California, to be recognized by the fair trade advocacy group.
“We are committed to fair trade education and activities, and we also source fair trade products from our school,” said Sarah Strasberg, one of the CCA students involved in the campaign.
The recognition comes from the Fair Trade Campaigns, which rewards cities, schools and other organizations across the country for promoting fair trade practices, according to its website.
Other schools that have been recognized by fair trade campaigns include Our Lady of Peace Academy and St. Martin of Tours Academy, as well as other organizations such as San Diego’s First Church of the Nazarene and St. Paul’s Episcopal Cathedral.
Goals for CCA students include finding fair trade food in the cafeteria and working with elected leaders on laws that support international social justice.
“Our daily selection has ramifications around the world,” said Karthik Jandhyala, another of the CCA students involved in the campaign. “What we decide to buy or not to buy has a huge impact on the world. We must use this power for good to advance human rights around the world.”
The CCA’s fair trade campaign began in part with support for changes to the Alien Tort Act, which gives U.S. federal courts jurisdiction over certain claims filed by citizens of other countries for alleged violations of international law. The proposed amendment, called the Alien Torts Clarification Act, which was previously introduced in the US Senate, would give workers in other countries the right to sue US companies for human rights violations.
In a recent case, the US Supreme Court voted 8-1 to dismiss a lawsuit alleging that two US companies, Nestle and Cargill, aid and encourage child slavery by buying cocoa from the Ivory Coast. The lawsuit was filed by six people from Mali who said they were victims of human trafficking and being used as child slaves for cocoa production.
But the court ruled that for a case to be won under the Alien Tort Statute, “domestic conduct must be greater than the general corporate activities common to most corporations.”
“Almost all of the activities that they claim promoted and encouraged forced labor — providing training, equipment and cash to foreign farmers — took place in Côte d’Ivoire,” the court concluded. “Reference to general corporate activity such as ‘simply corporate presence’…does not establish a sufficient link between the cause of action sought by respondents and domestic behavior.”
“I want to do my part to prevent this from happening,” said CCA student Chloe Godard.
The students met with Senator Scott Peters and a member of Senator Alex Padilla’s office. They also applied what they had learned in other lessons.
“It’s important for me to strike a balance between being entrepreneurial and being ethical,” said Ding Le, a CCA student.
“Especially with so many of us being high school students and we are graduating this year, it was great to see the juniors and juniors have stepped up,” said CCA student Joyce Lin, “and we hope this club, campaign and honest The trade movement will develop even further after we graduate.” | <urn:uuid:e574d4dc-e0fb-441f-a943-93f7f84bbf14> | CC-MAIN-2024-10 | https://californiapressnews.com/cca-students-receive-fair-trade-recognition-from-advocacy-group/ | 2024-02-20T23:28:56Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-10/segments/1707947473347.0/warc/CC-MAIN-20240220211055-20240221001055-00001.warc.gz | en | 0.979349 | 695 |

In what has been one of the more prominent nights in recent Brewers memory, who have brought Lorenzo Cain and Christian Yelich to Milwaukee.
What a night for David Stearns. Earlier this evening news broke that the Milwaukee Brewers acquired the frustrated Marlins outfielder for four top prospects. The Crew sent Lewis Brinson, Isan Diaz, Monte Harrison, and Jordan Yamamoto.
Yelich is a blooming star and has five years of team control left. They paid a steep price, but it upgrades their lineup tremendously.
The Brewers were not finished with the Yelich trade. They then brought back Lorenzo Cain on a five-year deal. Cain came up as a Brewer and was involved in the Zach Greinke Royals trade.
Cain is 32 and is coming off a season that saw him post a .300/.363/.440 slash line. He also posted an impressive WAR of above 5.

There were reports earlier in the offseason about the Brewers taking offers on all their outfielders. Broxton carries limited value, but Santana is coming off a huge year and could bring a huge piece back.
They would be smart to keep a solid fourth outfielder, however. Ryan Braun needs his off days, and Brett Phillips could thrive in that fourth outfield spot.
The offense figures to be taken care of, but the Brewers figure to be one pitcher away yet. WIth Jimmy Nelson out until midseason, the Brewers need one more top of the line arm to be real NL contenders.
They put out an offer for Yu Darvish earlier this week, but don’t be surprised to see David Stearns flip Santana and Broxton for a top arm. | <urn:uuid:26dcf847-e025-4827-aa67-72a07e02403b> | CC-MAIN-2024-10 | https://calltothepen.com/2018/01/26/brewers-acquire-yelich-cain/ | 2024-02-20T21:16:54Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-10/segments/1707947473347.0/warc/CC-MAIN-20240220211055-20240221001055-00001.warc.gz | en | 0.957749 | 432 |
Unicorn Horse Quest (Alb)
DISCLAIMER: Your Steps and Tasks may be different
Start out in the throne room by buying the Unicorn Horse voucher.
Then you head over to the Royal Stable Master (outside the round table room). Talk to him to start the quest.
He tells you to go talk to Gwethiel in Cornwall on the hill to the left side of the rode just before entering Lyonesse.
The unicorns are by her so it isn't hard to miss her.
After talking with her and receiving an apple pick the Unicorn you would like and click it. (You must /PRESENT the apple to the Unicorn. You don't /use it or hand it over. ) Type the following emotes.../hug, /kiss, /clap. You should get a message box for each of these stating the unicorn likes your hug, likes your kiss, is interested in you.
Now you need to right click on the Unicorn. If the Unicorn looses interest before you are able to do this go back and get another apple from Gwethiel and repeat the process.
Once you do get to the step of right clicking on the Unicorn without it loosing interest you will get a message at which time you need to go and talk with Gwethiel.
Congratulations, you have your Unicorn!! | <urn:uuid:ace3fa8b-d683-4655-ac80-818236fbb3ad> | CC-MAIN-2024-10 | https://camelot.allakhazam.com/db/quests.html?post=1&replyto=1278806326135546884&p=1&cquest=3060 | 2024-02-20T23:24:05Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-10/segments/1707947473347.0/warc/CC-MAIN-20240220211055-20240221001055-00001.warc.gz | en | 0.930472 | 279 |
In this house, the consumption of ice cream stays pretty steady throughout the entire year. Although it is probably more common to make your own ice cream in the summer, the kids all screamed in excitement when I suggested that our cooking project for the day be homemade ice cream. I love making new things with apples in the fall so we decided to try to make some Apple Pie Ice Cream. It was not too hard and it came out absolutely delicious!
To make the ice cream, I have a Krups Ice Cream Maker (model 337 – they don’t make it anymore – I stole it from my mom!) which is so incredibly simple to use – freeze the canister for a few hours – pour the custard in and turn it on. Seriously – that is it. Recently, there was a great little review of ice cream makers out there and the one that did the best was the $50 model from Cuisinart. No need to get anything fancy or expensive to make your own ice cream!
How To Make Apple Pie Ice Cream
PART 1: Prepare your custard.
2 cups cream
1 cup sugar
2 cups milk
2 Tablespoons vanilla
Combine 3 eggs and 2 cups of heavy cream or half and half in a medium saucepan. Beat them together well.
Add 1 cup of sugar and cook over low heat for about 10 to 15 minutes until thickened.
You really need to keep an eye of the pan because I walked away to break up a toddler wrestling match, I came back and my custard had curdled. Don’t let that happen to you! You want your custard to be smooth and thick.
After the eggs, cream, and sugar have thickened, set the pan aside and allow it to cool down. After it has cooled, add 2 cups of milk and 2 Tablespoons vanilla. Set aside. (This basic custard recipe can be used for any flavor ice cream you desire – or just leave it plain vanilla.)
PART 2: Prepare your apples.
1 Tablespoon butter
2 large apples, peeled, sliced, and then cut in half to make medium chunks
3 Tablespoons sugar
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
In a frying pan, melt 1 tablespoon butter, add the apples, sugar and cinnamon. Cook until the apples get soft and brown and the sugar begins to caramelize – it should start to look like the inside of an apple pie. This should take about 10 minutes. After they are cooked, cool completely before adding to the custard.
PART 3: Make the ice cream.
I like to let my custard cool overnight – partly because I never keep my ice cream canister in the freezer and that needs a few hours to get really cold. This batter made a little too much for one batch of ice cream in my 1 1/2 quart ice cream maker. Pour the custard into the canister and turn it on.
If you would like, you can add in crumbled cookies (perhaps Ginger Snaps from Trader Joes) or pour a little caramel sundae sauce in as the ice cream begins to churn to add a little extra flavor.
ENJOY! I think that homemade ice cream tastes the best right away. Don’t plan to make this ahead of time for a party and keep it in the freezer. If you have the custard prepared, all you need to do is turn on the ice cream maker while you guests are there and within 30 minutes you will all be enjoying delicious homemade ice cream!

GU provides all full-time benefit eligible employees with a $30,000 basic group term life insurance policy* at no charge to the employee. If you leave employment, you would have 31 days to convert this policy to a whole life policy**.
If your employment is terminated at GU and you desire to convert the $30,000 basic term life insurance coverage to a whole life policy, you must complete and submit the attached Conversion Application within 31 days of the date of termination. When you convert a term policy to a whole life policy, initially the premium is higher, but will never increase and as long as you are making your payments, the policy cannot be canceled by the carrier. More information on life insurance conversion can be found on the attached Conversion Brochure.
If you are carrying Voluntary Employee Life insurance & AD&D, Voluntary Spousal Life & AD&D and/or Voluntary Child(ren) life insurance through GU that you are personally paying for (by payroll deductions) and your employment terminates, but you would like to continue your voluntary life coverages, you would have two different options available to you. You could convert as described above or choose portability.
Portability is to continue with the policy in its current form (term), knowing that there will be premium increases based on the age banded rates and that the benefit amount will decrease by 35% at age 70 and an additional 15% at age 75. If you choose to port your voluntary life benefits, you need to complete the attached Portability Application within 31 days of employment termination.
*Term Life Insurance - a life insurance policy that is bought for a specific amount of time (10, 15, 20, 25 or 30 years). There premium will reflect a guaranteed amount that will be paid in the event that you die before the policy expires.
**Whole Life Policy - Is the type of life insurance that remains in effect for as long as you life, provided the premiums are kept up to date. In addition to the payout value, whole life policies include a cash value account that can be used by the policyholder even while the insured person is still living. | <urn:uuid:cea27ecd-fc31-4755-84db-bf45d737785f> | CC-MAIN-2024-10 | https://campusservices.greenville.edu/support/solutions/articles/12000057851-life-insurance-conversion-or-portability- | 2024-02-20T22:34:18Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-10/segments/1707947473347.0/warc/CC-MAIN-20240220211055-20240221001055-00001.warc.gz | en | 0.948103 | 453 |

In a large prospective study of the health of black women, the Black Women’s Health Study (BWHS), researchers collected information about exercise habits, such as time spent exercising per week and type of exercise. They followed more than 44,000 African American women over a span of 16 years and observed whether they developed breast cancer.
They found that women who exercised vigorously for seven or more hours each week were 25 percent less likely to develop breast cancer, compared to those who exercised less than one hour each week. Examples of vigorous activity include basketball, swimming, running and aerobics. The results were similar if women walked briskly, but there was no benefit for walking at normal pace. The results did not differ by the estrogen receptor status of the breast cancer
Lynn Rosenberg, ScD, professor of Epidemiology at Boston University School of Public Health and principal investigator of the Black Women’s Health Study, states, “Although expert review panels have accepted a link between physical exercise and breast cancer incidence, most study participants have been white women. This is the first large scale study to support that vigorous exercise may decrease incidence of breast cancer in African American women.”

Does exercise decrease your marijuana tolerance?
Before we can start to answer whether exercise does lower your tolerance to marijuana, we need to be clear on what marijuana tolerance is and how it effects each of us.
Most people who smoke weed every-day have experienced that feeling of not getting what they used to get when they smoked. Now it’s just not the same. So, you light up another hoping for those magical feelings to reappear, or perhaps you try different marijuana strains. It just is not happening; this is your marijuana tolerance range showing up.
Scientifically, it is proven that when the CB1 and CB2 receptors in our bodies become accustomed to the use of cannabinoids from smoking weed everyday, they will register the presence of a cannabinoid less frequently.
The decreasing tolerance to weed is presented slowly and overtime. Many have spent more money than they wanted, attempting to reach that perfect high…again.
However, could regular exercise help in reducing your weed tolerance levels?
• Exercise helps your body to burn fat reserves. Luckily those fat cells also store some other substances, cannabinoids being one of those. Working out burns those fat cells, and this will result in lowering your weed tolerance.
• The feel-good feeling envelopes you when you have completed a vigorous work-out. Endorphins that are responsible for those happy “I feel good feelings” that are distributed throughout your body. This may help promote a happy, relaxed feeling, and you may smoke less weed! Less weed used, your tolerance will decrease over time.
Exercise and marijuana is not the first positive combination when thinking about weed tolerance. However, for some people who use weed for managing their pain from medical conditions, tolerance is an important issue. Exercise is not only healthy for all but when you smoke weed every day, it may help to lower your weed tolerance while you are exercising your body and reducing the fat cells that cannabinoids will attach to. Decreasing the number of fat cells in the body is not only beneficial for maintaining a healthy body but could perhaps help the person who smokes weed daily achieve the high they used to receive from using weed. It is probable that exercise can be a supportive means of reducing your weed tolerance. The release of the endorphins when exercising promotes those supportive mental feelings that some look to weed for delivering.
So, you have decided to exercise, and still, want to continue to smoke weed every-day. The probability that exercises alone will help to decrease your marijuana tolerance is not good. However, healthy weed smokers are a positive part of society, so exercise and enjoying a toke can be an enjoyable experience even if you need more weed to reach that place you like to travel to. The only sure-fire way to decrease your marijuana tolerance is by abstinence; you need to take a break. Ideally, if you can refrain from using marijuana for six weeks, you will be back to enjoy being able to smoke weed everyday again with the effect you deserve and look forward to experiencing again. Enjoy the exercise, stay a healthy toker, and look out for your marijuana tolerance. | <urn:uuid:f7ae617d-4186-42c8-8fce-996eb7d7a2ea> | CC-MAIN-2024-10 | https://cannabis.wiki/health/does-exercise-decrease-your-marijuana-tolerance | 2024-02-20T22:31:47Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-10/segments/1707947473347.0/warc/CC-MAIN-20240220211055-20240221001055-00001.warc.gz | en | 0.955513 | 630 |

The Adaptability of Protective Gloves: Exploring Fur Gloves, White Cotton Gloves, and Hot Mill Gloves
In different industries and daily tasks, protective gloves play an essential role in safeguarding our hands from a broad range of potential hazards. From extreme temperatures to sharp objects and dangerous materials, these gloves provide a vital protection that guarantees our hands remain undamaged and functional. Among the wide variety of defensive gloves available, this article probes deeply into the distinct features, applications, and considerations of fur gloves, white cotton gloves, and hot mill gloves.
Fur Gloves: Integrating Fashion with Functionality
Luxurious Warmth and Style
Fur gloves represent the elegant amalgamation of fashion meeting functionality. These gloves are not only designed to safeguard hands from cold temperatures but also to add an element of elegance and fashion to winter attire. Made from a variety of animal fur, including rabbit, sheepskin, and mink, these gloves offer exceptional insulation and comfort, making them a essential accessory for colder months. The inherent properties of fur allow these gloves to effectively capture air, providing unparalleled warmth without the bulkiness often associated with heavy winter gloves.
Moreover, the flexibility of fur gloves extends beyond their safeguarding attributes. Beyond their useful benefits, fur gloves have become an emblem of luxury and status, gracing the hands of fashion aficionados, celebrities, and anyone seeking a touch of splendor in their winter wardrobe. This two-fold nature of fur gloves, being both practical and stylish, has contributed to their continuing popularity.
Fur gloves find their critical niche in cold-weather pursuits that subject hands to prolonged exposure to freezing temperatures. Whether it’s skiing down snow-covered slopes, maneuvering an ice skating routine, or embarking on a winter hike, fur gloves prove to be steadfast companions. Their insulation capabilities not only shield hands from the biting cold but also maintain the wearer’s manual dexterity. This essential balance between protection and usability is especially crucial in scenarios where precise movements and grip are essential, such as handling sports equipment or engaging in outdoor recreational activities.
Environmental and Ethical Considerations
While fur gloves certainly boast unparalleled comfort and warmth, the ethical and environmental concerns tied to using real animal fur cannot be overlooked. The sourcing of fur has garnered substantial criticism due to animal welfare issues and the ecological impact of fur farming. Fortunately, the evolution of sustainable fashion has given rise to alternatives such as faux fur gloves. These synthetic options replicate the sumptuous look and feel of real fur while sidestepping the ethical dilemmas associated with the use of animal fur. Embracing these alternatives not only aligns with the increasing movement towards ethical consumerism but also showcases the flexibility of the fashion industry in dealing with evolving societal concerns.
White Cotton Gloves: The Epitome of Simplicity and Versatility
Gentle Hand Protection
White cotton gloves represent simplicity in hand protection. Crafted from soft and breathable cotton fibers, these gloves offer a fundamental yet invaluable barrier between the skin and external elements. While they may not supply the heavy-duty protection required for intense industrial environments, they shine in safeguarding hands from common nuisances such as dust, dirt, and mild abrasions. Their lightweight and unobtrusive nature makes them exceptionally comfortable for extended wear, making them an ideal choice for scenarios where continuous glove usage is necessary.
Art and Archival Handling
The importance of white cotton gloves extends beyond everyday tasks, finding a particularly crucial role in the preservation of delicate artifacts, artworks, and archival materials. The inherent properties of cotton fibers prevent oils and contaminants present on human hands from directly contacting sensitive surfaces. Museums, galleries, collectors, and conservators often employ white cotton gloves as an essential tool when handling valuable items. By mitigating the risk of degradation caused by skin contact, these gloves contribute significantly to the preservation of cultural heritage and historical artifacts for future generations.
Formal and Ceremonial Use
White cotton gloves have also gone beyond functional boundaries and found a distinct place in formal and ceremonial settings. The symbolic power of these gloves lies in their immaculate appearance and association with elegance. Ushers at prestigious events, servers at high-end banquets, and performers in refined productions often sport these gloves to convey an aura of refinement and professionalism. In events such as weddings, funerals, and musical performances, these gloves serve as a visual representation of attention to detail and precision, adding an extra layer of significance to these occasions.
Hot Mill Gloves: Shielding Hands from Intense Heat
Factory Heat Protection
Hot mill gloves act a essential function in manufacturing environments where the threat of intense heat is a consistent issue. Designed with particular attention on defensive measures against high temperatures, these gloves are essential for laborers in industries such as forging plants, iron mills, glass factories, and other workplaces characterized by increased temperatures. The primary goal of hot mill gloves is to offer strong defense against risks related to extreme temperatures, guaranteeing the security and physical condition of personnel in these challenging workplaces.
What truly distinguishes hot mill gloves asunder is their complex layered construction. These gloves commonly feature an outer layer made of advanced heat-resistant substances including Kevlar. This outer layer functions as the first barrier of defense, protecting the hands from direct touch to extreme temperatures. Underneath the outside layer, an thermal element supplies an extra obstacle against heat conduction. This multilayered strategy ensures that the gloves remain still in the most scorching conditions, safeguarding the user hands from potentially severe burns and trauma.
Enhanced Hold and Dexterity
In spite of their potent warmth protection, hot mill gloves are creatively engineered to reach a nuanced balance between protection and dexterity. The patterned exteriors and well-designed layouts of these gloves enable workers to maintain a secure hold on equipment, substances, and machine parts. This improved hold is essential in preventing incidents and damage, as it enables workers to handle items with accuracy and command even in extremely hot environments. This blend of safety and functionality underscores the precise design that is involved in crafting gloves that meet both security and working necessities.
Selecting the Suitable Glove
The process of choosing gloves should always be an well-considered one, considering the specifics of the assignment at present and the degree of thermal interaction engaged. Separate materials and style features offer varying levels of protection and ease. For example, gloves fitted with lengthened cuffs provide added defense for the forearms, which is notably important in conditions where bursts of heated substances are probable. Similarly, gloves with enhanced seams and tough stitching lengthen lifespan in challenging and difficult employment environments, making certain that the gloves remain reliable over prolonged periods of utilization.
Finding the Right Glove for Each Need
In a world where safety, convenience, and efficiency are paramount, the presence of diverse glove options serves as evidence of human creativity and adaptability. Fur gloves, white cotton gloves, and hot mill gloves represent unique examples of the diverse array of necessities that gloves can address. From embracing cold weather trend with fur gloves to handling delicate items with white cotton gloves and confronting extreme heat with hot mill gloves, every kind of glove provides its specific range of benefits and utilizations.
In the sphere of glove choice, careful examination is essential. Assessing the character of the job, the likely hazards engaged, and the well-being of the wearer shapes the core of making a prudent decision. Moreover, as communal understanding regarding sustainability and morally sound issues persists to develop, exploring and embracing substitutes that match with ethical methods grows increasingly relevant. By grasping the specific benefits. | <urn:uuid:dc83f492-0a83-4390-88d4-aab18b9e549c> | CC-MAIN-2024-10 | https://cardkeystore.com/203/white-cotton-gloves-your-classic-wardrobe-staple/ | 2024-02-20T21:46:54Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-10/segments/1707947473347.0/warc/CC-MAIN-20240220211055-20240221001055-00001.warc.gz | en | 0.913288 | 1,527 |

Poker is a card game played by two or more players. The goal is to form a poker hand that ranks higher than your opponent’s, and win the pot (the amount of money bet during the hand). While the outcome of any individual hand heavily involves chance, successful players take advantage of probability, psychology, and game theory to improve their chances of winning.
The first step is to learn the rules of poker. You can do this by studying the hand rankings, basic rules, and positioning. You can also watch videos of poker professionals, such as Phil Ivey, to see how they play.
Once you understand the basics, it’s time to start playing. The best way to do this is by starting at the lowest stakes possible. This will allow you to play versus weaker opponents and build up your bankroll before moving up the stakes.
Beginners tend to play too loose at the beginning of a game, which can lead to huge losses. They also get tunnel vision with their hand and fail to consider what other hands their opponent could have. More experienced players focus on working out their opponent’s range, which means going through all the possible hands that they could have and calculating the odds of beating those hands.
When you’re playing poker, it’s important to be fast with your bets. Top players don’t wait around until they have a strong hand to bet; instead, they raise the pot early in order to get other players out of the way. This is also known as “playing the player.”
Another way to increase your win rate is by learning how to spot when a good poker player is bluffing. This is a complicated skill that takes practice and requires a keen eye. The main bluffing tells are that an aggressive player is putting in large bets with weak hands and making small bets with strong hands. The aggressive player is also announcing their intentions to other players, which can make them a target for more bluffs.
One last thing to keep in mind is that poker isn’t always easy. Even the world’s best players lose sometimes, and that’s fine. It’s important to remember that a bad beat isn’t the end of the world and that it will only strengthen your resolve to continue improving your game.
In addition to these fundamentals, good poker players have a commitment to smart game selection and limits. A good poker player will choose a limit that fits their budget and is appropriate for their skill level. In addition, a good poker player will choose games that offer the best odds of winning. This will ensure that they are maximizing the amount of money they can win, while minimizing their risk. A good poker player will also take the time to self-examine their game and develop a strategy that works for them. This may include reviewing their results or discussing their games with other players for a more objective look at their strengths and weaknesses. | <urn:uuid:119c1d88-50bb-42d5-b7ce-35ba961759d4> | CC-MAIN-2024-10 | https://carolmasonbooks.com/improve-your-chances-of-winning-at-poker/ | 2024-02-20T23:10:43Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-10/segments/1707947473347.0/warc/CC-MAIN-20240220211055-20240221001055-00001.warc.gz | en | 0.979087 | 605 |

In this short article, we will explore the availability of in various countries, highlighting three popular regions, together with pointers for signing up and a summary of the leading cryptocurrencies offered on the platform.
With years of experience in the financial industry and a deep understanding of market patterns and investment techniques, I have successfully navigated different trading platforms and guided many investors towards their monetary goals. Having recently expanded my expertise into cryptocurrencies, I am skilled in the intricacies of this emerging market. Now, let’s dive into, a platform that has acquired substantial appeal across the globe.
‘s Global Reach:
has actually made significant strides in broadening its reach worldwide, allowing users from various countries to access its platform. By prioritizing inclusivity and accessibility, has collected a varied user base, drawing in investors from different corners of the world. Let’s check out 3 countries where has experienced substantial appeal:
to make money but the lovely part about cryptocurrency trading is that you really don’t require that much Capital at all to be able to grow a small account and develop a huge earnings machine for yourself if you know how to do it appropriately so today in this video I’m going to utilize my 7 years experience as a full-time day trader and I’m going to show you exactly how I would take a hundred dollar account and grow it into a 10 thousand dollar account fine I’m going to show you how to get access to Capital I’m going to show you the exact method that I would use to safely grow your account all right I’m going to reveal you a system that you can start using today to really take these trades and I’m going to reveal you case studies of the trades that I take with my core group of traders to be able to make 3 to five thousand dollars each week
trade in cryptocurrency so if that sounds good to you which’s your goal make certain you struck the like button on this video sign up for the channel if you like trading and investing check us out on Discord and on Instagram alright we have a whole fantastic trading community so the most significant barrier to entry for most people starting their trading journey is the quantity of money that they have in their account alright so I’m to reveal you today how you can take a hundred dollar account and have the ability to use 10 thousand dollars worth of capital to securely take these trades I’m collaborate with buy bitbive it’s probably the very best cryptocurrency trading exchange out there that’s why we partnered with them all right they offer us as much as 125 x utilize on some sets you can see right here on specific pairs we only increase to about 50. this is probably the single essential thing to understand when you’re getting into trading without this you’re going to lose money I assure you so simply make certain you focus on this part right here all right so for example with my trades I’m risking 500 per sell attempts to make anywhere from fifteen hundred to two thousand dollars per trade however state we’re working with a hundred dollar account fine that indicates at ten percent we’re running the risk of ten dollars per trade but now we need to determine how many coins we need to buy in
order to just risk 10 dollars all right so leaving systems aside for a second let’s say we wanted to purchase apecoin at this level put our stop loss down at this level meaning that if we’re wrong and it continues moving down we’re offering our position which we wish to take revenue at this level what we wish to do is discover the difference between these worths and that’s going to offer us.057 then we’re going to take the dollar amount risk we wish to risk per trade which in this case is 10 dollars and we’re going to divide it by the distinction in between the stop and the entry okay which’s going to offer us the amount of tokens that we need to buy in order to run the risk of just ten dollars all right if we’re just going in with 250 coins or a thousand coins we’re never going to be able to dial in our danger reward and you’re going to absolutely screw yourself so make sure that you’re refraining from doing that you require to have actually that set dollar quantity fine so that implies that in order to find the capital requirement or the amount of money that we require for this trade we have to take the amount of coins and multiply it by the entry cost which is this level here alright so in this case we’re going to take 175 coins multiplied by 3.35 and that’s going to offer us 587 dollars then we need to be able to enter into this position when we’re utilizing leverage the only thing it’s changing is just how much money we personally require to put into the trade so if I have a hundred dollar account and I utilize a 100x leverage that implies now I have ten thousand dollars to utilize okay since if we just had a hundred dollar account all right this 587 is already 5x the size of our cash worth of our account that makes it
impossible alright so let’s visit purchase bit here let’s state we want to take this ape trade here okay we require 175 coins we can see right here our Capital requirement for this position is 586 dollars now view what takes place when we open up our leverage all right and you’re gon na get this warning that the liquidation is high fine as long as you’re measuring you’re entering your exit and you’re running the risk of that ten dollars you are safe and you’re doing the right thing fine so now only thing that we need to use for this position is twelve dollars which is 12 of our entire account okay so this utilize capability is altering nothing about the threat profile on the trade alright if you plan on trading anyways utilize the referral Link in the description okay every week we do a free gift where anybody trading with 50k volume or higher is going to be automatically gotten in to win a hundred dollars per week we’re picking 3 winners a week okay we’re trying to offer the fees that we’re collecting from the affiliate program back into the neighborhood for you guys trading with us connect is listed below you can check out our Discord where we announce the winners fine prior to we hop into the trading system that you can utilize to start taking these trades I want to review the rules that I would suggest using when growing a little account fine so the first guideline is begin with the dollar quantity risk per trade 10 of beginning balance on a hundred dollar account use that 10 dollar threat okay each time you double the account so when you go to 100 approximately 200 okay you wish to move that approximately the 10 of the 200 moving it to the 20 per trade threshold get comfortable with the dollar quantity and use that there until we scale our account up a bit bigger the third thing and this is incredibly crucial is everybody has a mental threshold when it pertains to just how much
cash they’re comfortable running the risk of if I’m taking a look at losing 500 like this 500 500 where I lose 3 sell a row I don’t care who you are or what the mathematics says you’re going to begin feeling a little bit psychological about the trades which’s something that you truly wish to avoid until you come comfy doing that all right so state you work your method up to 200 to 500 to a thousand alright and after that ten percent of a thousand is a hundred dollars per trade and that’s too much for you all right you can walk that pull back to fifty dollars per trade choice that fixed amount when you wish to protect your capital and simply choose an objective each day on the money that you wish to make once you get up to a comfy limit where it’s fitting your income objectives so for me personally you know I like to make 3 that 3 to five thousand dollars per week so I’m using you know about 2.5 percent of my whole account balance right around twenty thousand dollars that I keep in my account and after that I’ll increase it you know a couple years from now go up to a thousand shot to make three to 5 thousand per trade and attempt to double my income okay so let’s get into the bread and butter of the actual trading this is a system that I’ve been trading the markets with for the past couple months that have absolutely been nailing trades with I’m gon na show you among the setups that I had on xrp when I was actually in Dubai alright however what I want to do is discover an area where I have actually a newly developed uptrend first thing that I wish to do is recognize my wave count alright so if this is our beginning wave one first pullback is 2 largest waves as much as 3 pullback is 4 and after that the high is five and the method we can search for the top of five is by using a Fibonacci forecast off of our one wave so if this is our one value I’m gon na click on this link click back here and after that find my element of one and you can see the rate action sort of Consolidated right along this level if we take a Fibonacci retracement off of this level and go up to the high of one if our rate action boils down through the 61.8 or lower we’re going to want to Target the 261.8 range okay and you can see right here we got three four responded 5 came up and then we got our debt consolidation in here fine so the next thing that I want to do is when I have actually verified that my wave 5 is here and we get a.
pullback to this area is I wished to click a trend off of the high of three right here to the low of a this is going to Give Me A Channel Of rate action to follow all right then I’m just going to clone this up by best clicking on it put this at the high of five right here and I click at my high of five down to the low of an and then I’m going to set my entry to you get short a lot of people do not know that you can take the brief side of markets however generally I desire the rate to decrease which’s going to permit me to generate income too all right so if I want to get brief in on the 61.8 level here I’m going to put my stop loss to get out of the position simply over my 5 here and this profit Target is going to be to be figured out for the moment alright so if I play this forward rate action turns up gets me filled in this level so now I’m short alright and the method you do this on buy bit fine see.

Toyota Alessandro Volta
Count Alessandro Giuseppe Antonio Anastasio Volta was born in Como 18 February 1745 and died in Como 5 March 1827, is an Italian physicist. He is known for his work on electricity and the invention of the first electric battery called voltaic pile.
From 1780 to 1783 he visited France, Germany, the Netherlands and England and works with Antoine Lavoisier and Pierre-Simon Laplace in a study of atmospheric electricity.
The discovery of animal electricity (by Luigi Galvani) leads Volta in 1792 to study the conditions of excitation of the muscles of a frog. He rejects the theory of Galvani which favors the presence of animal tissue and emphasizes the need for a closed circuit consisting of metals.
Napoleon Bonaparte, who attends this meeting, awarded him a gold medal, granted him a pension and appointed Count of the Kingdom and Senator of the Kingdom of Italy.
En 1819, dans sa ville natale Volta is removed from your ILS COME meurt on 5 March 1827.
Several researchers have studied the phenomenon of the voltaic pile and tried to improve it. Some have discovered illumination arc showing that electricity causes a kind of flash. They demonstrated the phenomenon by connecting the two terminals of the battery to a piece of coal.

RETURNS discovery à toutes sortes d’ouvre of spans électrolyses dont celle de l’aluminium et du brassy.
The first consisted of several batteries together voltaic cells.
A major shortcoming of the voltaic pile was his leaking; brine in which were plunged the cardboard pieces flowed from the battery. This issue is now resolved as a brine consisting of more gel is replaced. In 1820, Hans Christian Oersted discovered that electrical phenomena were closely related to magnetic phenomena. He noticed that the compass needle, changing direction when the moving around a wire connected to Volta’s battery; depending on its position, the compass does not indicate the same direction.
In 1836, John Daniell devised the first impolarisable battery.
Alessandro Volta became a member of the Royal Society on May 5, 1791 This. Awarded him the Copley Medal in 1794.
Napoleon awarded him the title of Count of the Kingdom in 1810; in 1815, the Emperor of Austria appointed him professor of philosophy at Padua.
Volta is buried in the city of Como, Italy; Volta Temple, near Lake Como is dedicated to his work; instruments and original papers are presented. The building appeared, and his portrait of the Italian currency before the introduction of the euro.
In 1881, the unit of electrical voltage, the volt, is named in his honor.

Shohoku College is a private junior college in Atsugi, Japan, established in 1974 by Sony® Corporation. Initially, the school offered courses in electronic engineering. Courses in child-care were added in 1979, and in business administration in 1986.
Based on the educational concept of nurturing pupils so they can truly contribute to society, comprehensive support is provided to each student through practical lessons. The school's inspirational teaching methods and well-developed employment support system have been highly acclaimed.
Every year, graduates from Shohoku College's Information Media Department demonstrate production applications they have created on the Android OS and present them to their fellow students and guests. While the applications are designed mainly to be used on smartphones, there were no projection facilities in the Event Hall to show the students' smartphone screens on a large screen.
Therefore, the students’ work was presented using PowerPoint and a projector which was connected to a notebook PC. It was not possible to show the kinds of actions the production application could perform, nor could the actions be performed in real-time, so the presentation of the application was not very effective.
Shohoku College researched various solutions. A comparative study of video distribution devices from several manufacturers led to the conclusion that Black Box’s Coalesce Wireless Presentation System, which had already demonstrated favourable performance in a wireless network installation at the school, showed superiority in many key features, namely:
• Supporting laptops and iOS/Android devices, ideal for BYOD usage environments
• Extremely smooth display of videos
• Exceptional portability, with support for both Wi-Fi and wired LAN connections
• Connection to on-campus wireless LAN possible with IEEE 802.1X authentication
• Simple design for easy understanding of the operating method in a short period of time
• Unlimited number of access users and display screens, suitable for student presentations
• Easy switching between multiple educational and other materials, with zooming-in capabilities
Since Coalesce met all the requirements, Shohoku College decided to use Coalesce for the 2017 presentation of graduation productions held by the Information Media Department, with each group able to show their application videos on the large screen in real-time. The solution enabled the students to feel a greater sense of achievement than ever before, and the many guests could also fully appreciate the production results. | <urn:uuid:488ef554-f063-4ee6-92a4-6bc26796cf46> | CC-MAIN-2024-10 | https://catalog.digitalsystemsintegration.com/avcat/ctl19076/index.cfm?casestudies=7764 | 2024-02-20T23:19:52Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-10/segments/1707947473347.0/warc/CC-MAIN-20240220211055-20240221001055-00001.warc.gz | en | 0.957478 | 475 |

Below is the text of Pope Francis’ weekly Wednesday audience, delivered on August 17, 2022.
To receive these remarks and more in your inbox every week, sign up for America’s daily newsletter.
Dear brothers and sisters, good morning!
The words we heard of Daniel’s dream evoke a mysterious, and at the same time, glorious, vision of God. This vision is picked up at the beginning of the Book of Revelation in reference to the Risen Jesus, who appears to the Seer as Messiah, Priest and King, eternal, omniscient and unchanging (1:12-15). He lays his hand on the shoulder of the Seer and reassures him, “Fear not, I am the first and the last, and the living one. I died, and behold, I am alive forevermore” (vv. 17-18). Thus disappears the last barrier of fear and anguish that a theophany has always provoked. The Living One reassures us, he gives us security. He too died, but now occupies the place destined for him—the First and the Last place.
In this intertwining of symbols—there are many symbols here—there is an aspect that perhaps might help us better understand the connection of this theophany, this apparition of God, with the cycle of life, historical time, the lordship of God over the created world. And this aspect is specifically connected with old age. How is it connected? Let’s see.
“The Living One reassures us, he gives us security. He too died, but now occupies the place destined for him—the First and the Last place.”
The vision communicates an impression of vigour and strength, of nobility, of beauty and charm. His clothing, his eyes, his voice, his feet—everything is glorious in this vision: it is all about a vision! His hair, however, is white—like wool, like snow—like the hair of an old man. The most widely-used biblical term indicating an old man is “zaqen”, which comes from “zaqan”, and means “beard”. Snow-white hair is an ancient symbol of a very long time, of time immemorial, of an eternal existence. We do not need to demythologize everything for children—the image of a God, who is watching over everything with snow-white hair, is not a silly symbol, it is a biblical image, it is a noble image, even a tender image. The Figure in Revelation that stands amidst the golden lampstands overlaps that of the “Ancient of days” in Daniel’s prophecy. He is as old as all of humanity, but even older. He is as ancient and new as the eternity of God. For the eternity of God is like this, ancient and new, because God surprises us with his newness, he always comes to meet us every day in a special way for us, in that moment. He is always renewing himself: God is eternal, he is from all time, we can say that there is like an old age with God, that’s not true, but he is eternal, he renews himself.
“He is as old as all of humanity, but even older. He is as ancient and new as the eternity of God.”
In the Eastern Churches, the Feast of the Meeting with the Lord, celebrated on 2 February, is one of the twelve great feasts of the liturgical year. This feast places emphasis on the meeting of Jesus with the old man Simeon in the Temple, it places emphasis on the meeting between humanity, represented by the watchman Simeon, and Anna, with the little Lord Christ, the eternal Son of God, made man. An extremely beautiful icon of this scene can be admired here in Rome among the mosaics in Santa Maria in Trastevere.
In the Byzantine liturgy, the Bishop prays with Simeon: “He is the child born of the Virgin. He is the Word and God of God, the One, who for our sake was incarnate and saved man.” And it continues, “The door of heaven is opened today: the eternal Word of the Father, having assumed a temporal nature, without giving up his divinity, is presented by his will in the temple under the Law by the Virgin Mary, and the watchman takes him in his arms”. These words express the profession of faith from the first four Ecumenical Councils, which are sacred for all the Churches. But Simeon’s action is also the most beautiful icon for the special vocation of old age. Looking at Simeon, we behold the most beautiful icon of old age—to present the children who come into the world as an uninterrupted gift to God, knowing that one of them is the Son generated within God’s own intimacy, before all the ages.
“Looking at Simeon, we behold the most beautiful icon of old age—to present the children who come into the world as an uninterrupted gift to God.”
Old age, on its way to a world in which the love that God has infused into Creation will finally radiate without obstacles, must accomplish this gesture performed by Simeon and Anna, before taking its leave. Old age must bear witness—for me this is the core, the most central aspect of old age—old age must bear witness to children that they are a blessing. This witness consists in their initiation—beautiful and difficult—into the mystery of our destination in life that no one can annihilate, not even death. To bring the witness of faith before a child is to sow that life. To bear the witness of humanity too, and of faith, is the vocation of the elderly. To give children the reality that they have lived as a witness, to bear witness. We old people are called to this, to bear witness, so that they might bring it forward.
The witness of the elderly is credible to children. Young people and adults are not capable of bearing witness in such an authentic, tender, poignant way, as elderly people can. It is irresistible when an old person blesses life as it comes their way, laying aside any resentment for life as it goes away. There is no bitterness because time is passing by and he or she is about to move on. No. There is that joy of good wine, of wine that has aged well with the years. The witness of the elderly unites the generations of life, the same with the dimensions of time: past, present and future, for they are not only the memory, they are the present as well as the promise. It is painful—and harmful—to see that the ages of life are conceived of as separate worlds, in competition among themselves, each one seeking to live at the expense of the other: this is not right. Humanity is ancient, very ancient, if we consider time measured by the clock. But the Son of God, who was born of a woman, is the First and the Last for every time. This means that no one falls outside of his eternal generation, outside of his glorious might, outside of his loving proximity.
“The witness of the elderly unites the generations of life, the same with the dimensions of time.”
The alliance—and I am saying alliance—the alliance between the elderly and children will save the human family. There is a future where children, where young people speak with the elderly. If this dialogue does not take place between the elderly and the young, the future cannot be clearly seen. The alliance between the elderly and children will save the human family. Can we please give back to children, who need to learn to be born, the tender witness of the elderly who possess the wisdom of dying? Will this humanity, which with all its progress seems to be an adolescent born yesterday, be able to retrieve the grace of an old age that holds firmly to the horizon of our destination? Death is certainly a difficult passage from life for all of us it is a difficult passage. All of us must go there, but it is not easy.
But death is also a passage that concludes the time of uncertainty and throws away the clock. This is difficult because this is the passage of death. For the beautiful part of life, which has no more deadlines, begins precisely then. But it begins from the wisdom of that man and that woman, the elderly, who are capable of bearing witness to the young. Let us think about dialogue, about the alliance between the elderly and children, of the elderly with young people, and let us do it in such a way that this bond is not broken. May the elderly have the joy of speaking, of expressing themselves with the young, and may the young seek out the elderly to receive the wisdom of life from them. | <urn:uuid:8bb67040-1503-4eac-b5f6-b23351af0887> | CC-MAIN-2024-10 | https://catholicmasses.org/pope-francis-the-elderly-have-a-special-vocation-in-the-lives-of-children/ | 2024-02-20T23:14:14Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-10/segments/1707947473347.0/warc/CC-MAIN-20240220211055-20240221001055-00001.warc.gz | en | 0.972878 | 1,846 |
Renowned British photographer and Depeche Mode collaborator Brian Griffin has died, aged 75.
News of his passing was first announced yesterday (January 29) and later confirmed by multiple media outlets, stating that he died peacefully in his sleep.
Born in Birmingham, Griffin was raised in the Black Country and spent his early career working in a variety of industrial jobs, before taking on photography as a hobby and later making it his profession.
After joining a local camera club, Griffin went on to graduate from Manchester’s School Of Art in 1972. He later moved to London and helped capture the British pop scene of the 1980s.
Throughout his career, he famously worked with artists such as Siouxsie Sioux, Kate Bush, Ultravox, R.E.M., Billy Idol, Iggy Pop, Ringo Starr, Queen and Peter Gabriel. However, he was most widely recognised for his work with Depeche Mode.
Griffin’s photography was used on the first five studio albums shared by the synth-pop legends, and the image used for ‘A Broken Frame’ was later named Photograph Of The Decade by Time magazine in 1990.
In 1989, The Guardian named Griffin “photographer of the decade”, and later that year he left still photography behind to focus on TV commercials, music videos, and films. He also went on to acquire a production company, where he worked as a commercial director.
He returned to still work around the turn of the century, and famously directed a documentary for Sir Paul McCartney.
Following news of his death, various figures from across the music industry have come forward to share tributes to Griffin.
“Brian Griffin, the amazing photographer behind the first 5 covers of Depeche albums, as well as albums from Psychedelic Furs, Echo & The Bunnymen, Siouxsie, and many more passed away in his sleep yesterday. RIP Brian,” wrote DJ Kenny on Facebook.
Bill Brewster also shared a tribute online, writing: “Sorry to hear about the death of Brian Griffin. When I interviewed fellow snapper Peter Ashworth, he said he was a source of inspiration: He’s a stunning photographer. I learned how to light by seeing Brian’s pictures and thinking, ‘These excite me’.”

Why Use CBC Wall Panels?
Each wall is designed and built specifically for your project, according to owner/architect's specifications. We can supply the materials or use yours.
We can build our walls up to 36 ft long, to be set into place with a crane or forklift, making installation much faster with less handling.
Fewer on-site carpenters are needed for the framing stage, which amounts to savings in labor costs.
Framed in a dry, climate-controlled environment, out of the weather elements, by skilled framers.
Less loose materials on the site for thieves to steal.
Cleaner/Safer Job Site
Much less on-site scrap material to dispose of.
Close review of plans while designing shop drawings, work out most design problems before they are built and installed.
Easier Project Coordination/Scheduling
Buildings can be enclosed much quicker, so the weather has less effect on materials, and allows other trades to start their work earlier.
We work closely with our contractors to figure an "installed" quote if needed. | <urn:uuid:2f637885-c759-4fdf-aafc-b561f764c96b> | CC-MAIN-2024-10 | https://cbcwalls.com/why-use-cbc/ | 2024-02-20T22:07:58Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-10/segments/1707947473347.0/warc/CC-MAIN-20240220211055-20240221001055-00001.warc.gz | en | 0.916747 | 231 |
Our research interests lie at the interface of chemical biology and synthetic biology with an emphasis on molecular methods to study, manipulate and apply enzymatic catalysis. For this, our work is based on a method repertoire ranging from synthetic chemistry (e.g., for the synthesis of probes and substrates) and molecular biology (for the generation, modification and preparation of recombinant proteins) to biophysical chemistry (for the analysis and characterization of enzyme structure and activity).
Currently, our research activities are divided into two subject areas:
Optogenetics – the engineering of a tool-set for the optical control of enzymatic activity, e.g. for the independent, spatial and temporal switching of chemical transformations in vitro or in vivo.
Biocatalysis – the set-up of enzymatic reactions and catalytic cascades, e.g. for chemical transformations that proceed with enhanced selectivity or sustainability. | <urn:uuid:793192e0-55a6-4bd4-9d45-1a54111702c8> | CC-MAIN-2024-10 | https://ccb.tu-dortmund.de/en/professorships/cb/brakmann/ | 2024-02-20T23:12:14Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-10/segments/1707947473347.0/warc/CC-MAIN-20240220211055-20240221001055-00001.warc.gz | en | 0.897762 | 185 |
“I have said this to you in figures; the hour is coming
when I shall no longer speak to you in figures but tell you plainly of the
Father. In that day you will ask in my name; and I do not say to you that I
shall pray the Father for you; for the Father himself loves you, because you
have loved me and have believed that I came from the Father. I came from
the Father and have come into the world; again, I am leaving the world and
going to the Father” (John 16:25-28).
This is a wonderful statement! The Father Himself loves
you. Many Christians do not believe that, even though they know John 3:16
and Romans 5:8. They read those verses in such a way as to read, “For
Jesus so loved the world,” and, “Jesus commends His love for us.” The
Father loves us. We should dwell on that fact. It influences all of our
Written August 1986.

An acetabular fracture is a break in the hip socket. These are relatively rare injuries and are extremely challenging orthopedic injuries to repair. This is because, at times, an acetabular fracture leaves multiple small fragments of fractured bone and cartilage, “puzzle pieces” that must be brought back together to restore hip function and mobility. Additionally, a fracture located in certain regions can be challenging to work in and fraught with risk. That’s why it is important to choose a surgeon wisely. As soon as possible, you should see one of the highly experienced orthopedic specialists at the Colorado Center of Orthopaedic Excellence in Colorado Springs, Colorado. You can trust them to get the best outcome.
An acetabular fracture is a break in the acetabulum, which is the socket part of the hip joint. Relative to most hip fractures, acetabular fractures are uncommon. They occur much less frequently than fractures of the upper femur or femoral head (the “ball” portion of the joint). These fractures occur in both younger and older patients. Acetabular fractures can interrupt the blood supply to your acetabulum bone. Without the correct blood supply, your bone cells die. If the injury is misdiagnosed, the femoral head (top of the thigh bone) can rub within the acetabulum (hip socket) and cause cartilage damage. If the cartilage is damaged too much, there is a risk of early-onset arthritis in the hip.
ABOUT THE HIP
The hip joint is a “ball-and-socket” joint that is made up of the acetabulum and the femoral head. The acetabulum is the socket or cup, while the femoral head is the ball. The acetabulum is part of the pelvis. Both the femoral head and acetabulum have cartilage on the surface of the bone to allow frictionless movement, letting one walk and move the hip. If the acetabulum is broken and the pieces are displaced, the hip can be unstable, dislocating, and causing significant pain and disability.
WHAT IS AN ACETABULAR FRACTURE?
These fractures can occur on the left or right hip and may break in one of 10 different places and in different ways called patterns. These patterns are based on location, orientation, or in combination. Acetabular fractures include:
- Anterior wall fractures: An anterior wall acetabular fracture is a break in the front column of bone or area around the bony rim (wall) of the hip socket.
- Posterior wall fractures: A posterior wall acetabular fracture is a break in the back column of bone or area around the bony rim (wall) of the hip socket.
- Transverse fractures: A transverse acetabular fracture means the acetabulum broke at a 90-degree angle or perpendicular to the long part of your bone.
- Comminuted fractures: A comminuted acetabular fracture means the acetabulum broke into more than two fragments.
- Stress fractures: An acetabular stress fracture is a small crack in your acetabulum bone. This type of fracture happens because of overuse or repeated stress put on the acetabulum bone. | <urn:uuid:397b4135-6ce2-4e91-90d8-4a26e6c7a517> | CC-MAIN-2024-10 | https://ccoe.us/news/acetabular-fracture/ | 2024-02-20T22:15:02Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-10/segments/1707947473347.0/warc/CC-MAIN-20240220211055-20240221001055-00001.warc.gz | en | 0.903477 | 678 |

Webmasters take this as a challenge to get their website rank high in the search engines like Google, Yahoo, Bing, etc. They want good quality traffic for the website so that the website gains more visitors, and if it is a business site, it will become successful quickly just by holding the highest rank in search engines.
A website needs to take place on the first page of a search engine. When a visitor searches for any particular service or a product, they will have to type the keyword and then the results will show on the screen. The first thing the user will click is the first 5-6 results of the chosen search engine’s first page.
That’s why webmasters need to evaluate the growth of the sites they are working on along with other competitor sites. For that, they will need to learn the rank of their page. That’s why it is essential to use the best rank tracking software to understand the particular site’s rank.
If you are still unsure about the importance of using this type of power tool, you are in the right place. In this article, we will talk about the facts why it is ultimately necessary to use a ranktracker.
You have to know the keywords are optimized or not
When one is going to create an effective SEO strategy to boost a business website or some other site, the person has to learn about the recent ranking of that website. If you are a webmaster, you will do this because you will need to understand which keywords will rank the best and which won’t.
All these processes will make you attentive and sharp, and you will observe a lot and know what to ask. After that, you will have to list a set of keywords relevant to the content. The keywords can be like something which you would like to be ranked on. But you have to evaluate the quantity and quality of those certain keywords by noticing the created traffic from them.
Understand the development of your ranking position in search engines
When you choose to use the right keyword rank tracker, you will be able to analyze the traffic and ranking of the web page. You will find out that if your SEO optimization techniques, along with other digital marketing strategies, are working well or not. When you correctly get to know the strength, weakness, and the probable solution, you can finally plan the right strategy to boost the website.
You also need to know if Goggle is punishing you for breaking any basic rules or not
Sometimes, when you break any rules of website trafficking or relevant things like that, Google can make you pay by limiting your sources or banning you from certain places.
According to research, there are two types of penalties and that are-
- It concerns one or multiple keywords. (minor)
- A whole website can face issues. Meaning, by typing the keywords, chances are the website won’t appear in the search engines. (major). | <urn:uuid:87224684-a592-4cc7-876a-7687fc44fa5e> | CC-MAIN-2024-10 | https://cdotechdirect.com/why-do-you-need-to-use-a-rank-tracker.html | 2024-02-20T23:03:21Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-10/segments/1707947473347.0/warc/CC-MAIN-20240220211055-20240221001055-00001.warc.gz | en | 0.937502 | 601 |

Description including blended learning activities
Pupils are guided to find their pulse and measure resting heart rate. They then predict the effect a moderate amount of exercise would have on this, and then to plan a short exercise activity that would allow them to measure and record any changes in heart rate. After planning it, pupils were asked to perform the exercise, record the data, plot a graph of it, and complete a basic analysis. Pupils are expected to link the experimental evidence they had produced to earlier work on the role of the heart and circulatory systems. Support pupils recording and presenting the data with instructional videos or demonstrate these on live lessons allowing pupil to ask questions or demonstrate their progress.

5 Tips for Always Remembering Your Reusable Bags
Never try to clumsily shove all your groceries in your backpack again
Are you one of those people who has a drawer full of reusable bags that you have collected over the years but never remembers to actually take them with you when you go out. It happens! We’ve been there. And, in an effort to become better about becoming those people who always have our bags with us, we’ve collected some helpful tips we thought we’d share with you all.
Bringing bags is about more than just being prepared and not having to pay that five cent charge for a plastic bag, it’s about reducing plastic pollution. Reducing plastic pollution is good for the world, and of course protects all of those ocean animals who might get stuck in them, but it’s also a big step for improving and protecting your own health. The more plastic we can keep out of circulation and out of the world, the more we are helping to stop plastics from breaking down into what are called microplastics (basically really tiny pieces of plastic, so small we can’t see them with our naked eyes) that can end up in the food chain and in our water supplies and eventually affect our health. So, here are 5 of our fave ways to basically act like a squirrel and stash bags everywhere.
The more you bring your bags, the easier it will be to remember them in the future. Chances are you will also learn which methods work best for you. I personally am the person who just like to leave bags hidden everywhere, but you might prefer to pull them out when you are planning.
While we love all the free bags we have collected from different events and stores, we also have realized the few bags we have purchased – including the ones from the grocery store, which are often less expensive than other brands – that look nicer or are easier to use or have a special features (like being insulated or folding into a pouch) are the ones that we use more often. So, if you’ve been eyeing a cool reusable bag, getting it might be just the push you need to help you remember to use your reusable bags more often. No matter what your bag looks like, once you start taking them with you all the time, it’ll become a habit. It might seem like a small step, but all of these small steps add up over time. One person bringing their reusable bag with them can stop at least 365 plastic bags from ending up in landfill each year(1). That adds up quickly! | <urn:uuid:8f6b2218-5d7c-42dd-807a-662a35ef99e6> | CC-MAIN-2024-10 | https://ceh.org/yourhealth/remember-reusable-bags/ | 2024-02-20T23:35:55Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-10/segments/1707947473347.0/warc/CC-MAIN-20240220211055-20240221001055-00001.warc.gz | en | 0.967348 | 533 |
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
SCREAMING INTO THE WIND
Film’s Riveting Message on Grief and Abuse
Winter Park, FL ., February 16, 2023/CELEBRE MEDIA VIP, LLC
Evie Ingle, trapped in grief and a continuum of abuse by the men in her life, takes matters into her own hands using her art as a dark catalyst for change. Years after losing her only child from stillbirth, Evie is confronted with the chance to rewrite her story and find her voice again. Through visual and sonic storytelling, the audience will experience Evie’s inner world without the use of dialogue.
While grief and abuse can be seen on screen, they are rarely portrayed in a manner so succinct that nearly everyone can identify. Kevin O’Neill, the writer and director of, with Melissa McNerney, who is the producer and actress in the film, have taken two underrepresented life issues and brought them to the screen in a way that is engaging, captivating, and will bring realization to an often unspoken side of abuse. The journey brings thought-provoking insight and a twist that is riveting!
The project is near completion and looking to make its way to a screen near you soon. This is a call for those who share in the passion of film, grief support, domestic violence, advocacy, and education to get involved and help shift perspective and effect change.
Kevin O’Neill is an award-winning film director, screenwriter and producer who has been writing and directing short films for over 16 years. His films have been nominated for 39 awards and have won 59.

Nikolas Cruz 10 Personal Facts, Bio, Wiki
Born: September 24, 1998 (age 24 years), Margate, Florida, United States Parents: Lynda Cruz, Roger Cruz Height: 1.7 m Nationality: American Siblings: Zachary Cruz, Danielle Woodard Education: Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School Full name: Nikolas Jacob Cruz On February 14, 2018, 19-year-old Nikolas Cruz opened fire on students and staff at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in the Miami suburban town of Parkland, Florida, murdering 17 people and injuring 17 others. Cruz, a former student at the school, fled the scene on foot by blending in with other students, and was arrested without incident approximately one hour later in nearby Coral Springs. Police and prosecutors investigated “a pattern of disciplinary issues and unnerving behavior”. The killing spree is the deadliest high school shooting in United States history, surpassing the Columbine High School massacre that killed 15, including the perpetrators, in Colorado in April 1999. The shooting came at a period of heightened public support for gun control that followed mass shootings in Paradise, Nevada, and in Sutherland Springs, Texas, in October and November 2017. Students at Parkland founded Never Again MSD, an advocacy group that lobbies for gun control. On March 9, Governor Rick Scott signed a bill that implemented new restrictions to Florida’s gun laws and also allowed for the arming of teachers who were properly trained and the hiring of school resource officers. The Broward County Sheriff’s Office received widespread criticism for its handling of the police response, both for not following up on multiple warnings about Cruz despite a lengthy record of threatening behavior and for staying outside the school instead of immediately confronting him. This led to the resignations of several police officers who responded to the scene, and the removal of Sheriff Scott Israel. A commission appointed by then-Governor Scott to investigate the shooting condemned the police inaction and urged school districts across the state to adopt greater measures of security. On October 20, 2021, Cruz pleaded guilty to all charges and apologized for his crimes. The prosecution sought the death penalty, and a four-month death penalty trial was expected to commence in January 2022. After suffering numerous delays, in part due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the trial commenced on July 18, 2022. On October 13, 2022, a jury unanimously agreed that Cruz was eligible for the death penalty, but deadlocked on whether it should be imposed, resulting in a recommendation to sentence him to life imprisonment without the possibility of parole.

Water pollution and wastewater quality are two central issues that affect millions see this page people each year, with toxic effluents particularly important. The consequences of water pollution are severe, irreparable and increasingly unpredictable. Health is one of the most sensitive life sciences. In many industrialized continents, for example, a population below 1% of the Earth’s surface burns to render them unfit for human consumption. In some places, the most toxic, even the most destructive substance found near the surface is food. Drinking fluids are especially toxic, meaning they also play an important role in the many processes that depend on they for energy that makes them the means to keep the human race at the edge of the stratosphere. The impact of cancer or other disease causes the very same amount of pollutants to pour into our rivers, oceans and the atmosphere. These substances are polluting the atmosphere and threatening the life of vast swaths of the world, and pollute the oceans, including drinking water.

But not even the amount of air pollution caused by gas (or mercury) pollution has the health effects of the water it came from. In fact NOdad’s research shows that drinking water on a day-long march is as polluted as an hour from sunrise. This is an issue because we are dealing with many other countries drinking the whole day and drinking the same sort of polluted water that we have in our houses. But even the most pollutedWhat is the role of pharmaceuticals in water pollution? The problem of wastewater air pollution is very complex, especially associated with drought, as depicted by the use of methane and propylene as pulp and paper products in the 1980s and 1990s. As combustion and power generation increase, the effect of methane combustion on air is growing. But what of the air pollution generated from the use of liquid gasoline and the reduction of emissions of pollution from transportation? It is important to do some research to find out if there is a cost, because the overall burden of these pollution sources will be high, in comparison with other countries. This article will document the research methods used recently by the Get More Information government to get the impact of the air pollution from transport in comparison with the air pollution of air combustion.

Legislation negotiated and sponsored by Rush passed the House last Monday, now heads to President Biden’s desk to be signed into law.
On Monday, March 7, 2022, the Emmett Till Antilynching Act (H.R. 55), legislation sponsored by U.S. Representative Bobby L. Rush (D-Ill.), passed the United States Senate unanimously. The legislation previously passed the House of Representatives on February 28 by a vote of 422–3. Three House Republicans voted against the bill: U.S. Representatives Andrew Clyde (R-Ga.), Thomas Massie (R-Ky.), and Chip Roy (R-Texas). The legislation now heads to President Biden’s desk to be signed into law.
The Emmett Till Antilynching Act would, for the first time in U.S. history, designate lynching as a federal hate crime. Despite more than 200 attempts since 1900 to codify federal antilynching legislation, it has never previously been done. More than 6,500 Americans were lynched between 1865 and 1950, according to a report from the Equal Justice Initiative.
“Lynching is a longstanding and uniquely American weapon of racial terror that has for decades been used to maintain the white hierarchy,” said Rep. Rush. “Perpetrators of lynching got away with murder time and time again — in most cases, they were never even brought to trial. Legislation to make lynching a federal crime and prevent racist killers from evading justice was introduced more than 200 times, but never once passed into law.
“Today, we correct this historic and abhorrent injustice. Unanimous Senate passage of the Emmett Till Antilynching Act sends a clear and emphatic message that our nation will no longer ignore this shameful chapter of our history and that the full force of the U.S. federal government will always be brought to bear against those who commit this heinous act.
“I am glad to see this bill receive unanimous support in the Senate — and near-unanimous support in the House of Representatives — and look forward to President Biden signing the Emmett Till Antilynching Act into law very, very soon. At this moment, I am reminded of Dr. King’s famous words: ‘The arc of the moral universe is long, but it bends towards justice.’”
The Emmett Till Antilynching Act first passed the House of Representatives for the first time during the 116th Congress — in February 2020 — with overwhelming bipartisan support but was blocked in the Senate. Rep. Rush reintroduced the Emmett Till Antilynching Act on the first day of the 117th Congress and has worked closely with the House Judiciary Committee and the Senate throughout the past year to reach agreement on the text of the legislation.
Under the bill that passed the Senate today and the House last week, a crime can be prosecuted as a lynching when a conspiracy to commit a hate crime results in death or serious bodily injury. The legislation differs from the antilynching legislation passed during the 116th Congress in two primary ways:
- The maximum sentence for a perpetrator convicted under the Antilynching Act is 30 years; the previous version of the legislation set the maximum sentence at 10 years. These charges would be in addition to any other federal criminal charges the perpetrators may face.
- The legislation applies to a broader range of circumstances. Under the legislation passed last Congress, a crime could only be prosecuted as a lynching under very specific circumstances, such as if it took place while the victim was engaging in a federally protected activity.
Rush is also the lead sponsor of bipartisan legislation that would award a posthumous Congressional Gold Medal to Emmett Till and his mother Mamie Till-Mobley (H.R. 2252) and legislation that would direct the Postmaster General to issue a commemorative postage stamp in honor of Mamie Till-Mobley (H.R. 4581). | <urn:uuid:763d9a9d-76b5-40c6-bea8-9c6dcf7f823c> | CC-MAIN-2024-10 | https://chicagocrusader.com/rep-bobby-rushs-emmett-till-antilynching-act-passes-u-s-senate-unanimously/ | 2024-02-20T23:18:38Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-10/segments/1707947473347.0/warc/CC-MAIN-20240220211055-20240221001055-00001.warc.gz | en | 0.954216 | 813 |

We decided to follow up on the conversation with Chicagoans who certainly should have an opinion about such things - you'd imagine that the folks that run Chicago Zombie would know a thing or two about where to duck and cover from the living dead. Chad Savage runs the site, as well as a bevy of other horror-related sites and sat down with us to talk about why the hell these stinking, shambling messy corpses have so much appeal. Why all the pub crawls? What's with the zombie pin-ups? Will there be any inevitable zombie backlash?

This is a tragic and catastrophic war of choice entirely of Russia’s making, and the United States, its Allies, and partners will stand in solidarity with the people of Ukraine in their just cause ̶ the defense of their country and their democracy. Together, we continue to support Ukraine’s defense of its sovereignty and territorial integrity and to strengthen Ukraine’s position on the battlefield and at the negotiating table.
Today, as Russia begins its renewed offensive in Ukraine’s east, I have authorized, pursuant to a delegation from the President, a drawdown to provide further immediate military assistance to Ukraine, valued at up to $800 million worth of arms and equipment from U.S. Department of Defense inventories. This authorization, building on last week’s $800 million package, is the eighth drawdown of arms, equipment, and supplies from Department of Defense inventories for Ukraine since August 2021.
We will continue to provide Ukraine the arms its forces are effectively using on the ground to defend themselves. These efforts, combined with direct U.S. humanitarian and financial support to Ukraine, support documenting evidence of Russia’s war crimes against Ukraine’s civilians, and continued efforts to ratchet up pressure on Putin’s crumbling economy together will help weaken the Russian Government’s position and further isolate them from the world until Russia ends its unprovoked and unjustified war on Ukraine.
For almost eight weeks, Russia has waged its savage assault against Ukraine, its sovereignty, its independence, its freedom, and its people. From Bucha to Kramatorsk, from Kharkiv to Mariupol, we have seen Russia’s brutalities and its atrocities laid bare for the world to see. And yet Ukrainian Winter has turned to Ukrainian Spring. The people of Ukraine will prevail. | <urn:uuid:a2806f5c-02e6-477f-b307-de385dd6b126> | CC-MAIN-2024-10 | https://china.usembassy-china.org.cn/800-million-in-additional-u-s-security-assistance-for-ukraine/ | 2024-02-20T21:59:24Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-10/segments/1707947473347.0/warc/CC-MAIN-20240220211055-20240221001055-00001.warc.gz | en | 0.948046 | 429 |

Last week I was listening to another podcast by Glennon Doyle and had another ah-ha moment worth sharing.
Before I dive into the meat, let me start by explaining my values from a young age. I remember believing that I could be anything I wanted to be when I grew up (thanks, mom). I also remember thinking that working hard wasn’t supposed to be fun per se, but it was essential to creating success and financial stability (thanks, dad). And, during my tour in management consulting, one of our favourite mantras was “work hard, play hard” which we often chanted as we tapped cocktail glasses at a swanky restaurant after completing, yet again, another 14-hour workday.
So, as many of you know, I took the “work hard, play hard” mantra seriously, which ultimately led to a serious case of burnout. But I am pretty sure I won the “knows how to work the hardest and play the hardest” award that year. I often worked from 7 am to 7 pm or later, often skipped all healthy diet and exercise habits (because that didn’t sound like fun and my clients had not assigned it), and I spent way too many nights indulging in cocktails and nice meals (because that kinda sounds like “playing hard” given the little energy I had left after a long work week).
As I recovered from burnout, I quickly realized that things that “give back emotional real estate” like exercise or taking a walk or reading a book—these things were never on my “work hard, play hard” to-do list. So one of the big ah-hamoments, as I wrote in Too Busy to Be Happy, was that these things give back energy and must be prioritized!
This brings me back to last week, when I was listening to Glennon Doyle’s most recent podcast on the topic of fun. She discussed how she is known as a highly responsible person. In her forties, after starting a new relationship with a woman who lives a life full of fun, she realized that she genuinely doesn’t know how to have fun. Her realization got me thinking… Do I know how to have fun? And sadly, the answer was pretty clear—a big loud resounding NO.
So, let me share a few ideas I used to re-think what fun means to me. If you’ve never tried to quantify what your fun factor would be, try these steps out.
1. Identify your role models for FUN
Who do you know that is good at having fun? Who dances when they work? Who acts silly when you think they should be focused? Who do you know that owns a Disco Tiger speedo?
My Answer: Similar to Glennon, my partner lives to have fun. When we met, I appreciated this aspect of his personality, but my “work hard, play hard” persona used to see this “fun stuff” as a threat to accomplishing big things in our life. He’s the one who always rallies to purchase fun things (the latest of which, we are the proud shared owners of three different kayaks). He always has time to take the kids out to buy more water balloons or explore using his adventure-based app du jour (check out Geocaching if you want one example). And don’t get me started on his eclectic collection of speedos; when you have a speedo you’ve named Disco Tiger, I’m not sure if you’ve mastered fun or if you simply have a screw loose. As much as I joke about having given birth to two kids, but having three kids at home, I live with a man who knows how to have fun.
2. Catch yourself in the act
I think it’s funny how my first thoughts around fun are going for a run or sitting outside and enjoying a summer beverage with a book. But I had it all wrong; these things are relaxing—and yes—they might give back emotional real estate, but I realize now that there’s another element to consider. When I’m having “fun,” it’s more of a joy-filled moment, something that has no goal. It’s not something you need to make time for (which is hard for me because I sure love to schedule things)! It’s a way of infusing joy into a moment, such as singing at the top of your lungs in the car, jumping on the trampoline with the kids instead of supervising, or playing eye spy on your next road trip. I realize that I’m much more likely to “supervise and manage” fun rather than engage in it myself.
3. Make peace with the fun police
I realized during my ah-ha moment that my innate nature to be responsible and goal-oriented makes me perfect for the role of the always-on-duty fun police. I read more about what causes people to act like this, and I found that they normally have fears that make them feel they need more control. For me, those fears include kids getting hurt (I’m a mom, so until I can permanently bubble-wrap my children, this will always be a fear of mine). I also fear wasting time, although it takes just as much time to police the fun as it does to engage in it. And maybe, just maybe, I’m a bit worried that if I started to have too much fun, I would like it so much that I would neglect all of my responsibilities in life and become a jobless juggler who works on tips. Not fun. Not sure how likely I am to become a juggler but hey, assessing fear can be quite a journey into the irrational mind.
So, with summer underway and vaccines on the rise, I hope that you think of me the next time fun is calling your name, but the fun police in your head are threatening to write you a ticket. See where you can add one more reason to laugh, one more cause for a case of the giggles and one more reason to act more like a kid than a grown-up. Life is short and I know I won’t leave the planet wishing I had “worked harder” but I know I’ll be thankful that at some point in time, I truly learned how to have fun. | <urn:uuid:043aa9cf-f12e-4387-9f70-ea2b7307c8a4> | CC-MAIN-2024-10 | https://christinelaperriere.com/how-to-dial-up-more-fun-this-summer/ | 2024-02-20T22:04:21Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-10/segments/1707947473347.0/warc/CC-MAIN-20240220211055-20240221001055-00001.warc.gz | en | 0.974987 | 1,343 |
‘Let it go’ including the remix by ‘The YUM YUM’s’ is finally on Spotify!
It’s mostly the best things you have to wait for the longest. This friday the first single “Let it Go” by the German Producer Winterkind together with the American singer songwriter Michael Lane will officially be released. After last years’ online success and going around on youtube for a while the song got stuck in heads of many producers, Dj’s and guys out of the industry. So it’s the generic way to let songs like this one grow and breathe. With this high potential to get on the radio and stay on many summer playlists for a long time this track isn’t meant to be just a one of thing. So it ended finally up in a whole EP including 3 more mixes.
The YUM YUM’s have made it up on this EP as well and just like that you can call it their first official Remix. Read more of the YUM YUM’s here and make sure to keep all the wonderful musicians I am telling you about in mind bc I am pretty sure that’s by far not the end of this story!

For many people, the pandemic lockdowns increased feelings of boredom, anxiety and loneliness. So it's hardly a surprise that marijuana use increased, just as alcohol consumption did.
But you might be surprised at just how much more cannabis Washingtonians are using now than they were before the pandemic.
Data from the Washington State Alcohol and Cannabis Control Board shows sales increased statewide by $450 million, or about 43%, from the 2019 to 2021 fiscal years. The total retail sales in 2021 were nearly $1.5 billion.
Cannabis sales also generated more than $550 million in excise taxes for the state, most of which will be spent on public health programs, as prescribed by Washington's 2012 marijuana legalization measure.
Fiscal year 2019 covers the period from July 1, 2018, to June 30, 2019, and fiscal year 2021 covers the period from July 1, 2020, to June 30, 2021.
Of Washington's 39 counties, all but Garfield and Franklin counties have at least one cannabis retailer. In all of these 37 counties, sales increased by percentages in the double digits from the 2019 to 2021 fiscal years. Still, there was a wide range in the amount that sales increased from county to county.
The sales data suggests that cannabis use increased the most in more rural parts of the state during the pandemic, particularly in Eastern Washington. The biggest jump in sales was in Lincoln County, just west of Spokane County, where sales more than doubled from around $800,000 in 2019 to nearly $1.4 million in 2021.
"That doesn't surprise me at all," said Elijah Hubert, a budtender at Molecule Cannabis, one of two retailers in Davenport, Lincoln County's largest city. "I'd have six cars out front and 10 customers in the store ... in the early spring when the pandemic first hit."
He says that many of the new customers were folks who had been laid off and who didn't know when they'd be going back to work.
"It may have been the first time they could use cannabis in 10 years," Hubert said. "They didn't know what they were looking for because they hadn't smoked in so long."
He says a lot of customers used their unemployment payments to stock up on weed, sometimes spending $300 to $400 on the first day they came in.
Sales are not as brisk at Molecule right now as they were earlier in the pandemic, Hubert says. He thinks that may be because things are starting to return to normal, but it could just be a normal winter slowdown.
The other counties where retail sales of cannabis increased by more than 100% were Pend Oreille and Stevens, both north of Spokane.
Klickitat County, in southern Washington just east of Vancouver, saw a modest 18% increase in cannabis retail sales, the smallest growth in the state.
As you'd expect, King County had the greatest volume in sales in 2021, at almost $383 million, and also the largest increase in dollars — up $85 million from the 2019 fiscal year. But as a rate of growth, that pencils out to 29%, which is a slower than the statewide average.
Although three rural Eastern Washington counties had the most impressive spikes in retail sales, these areas were not large consumers of marijuana to begin with.
I calculated per capita sales data for each county using the 2020 Census population figures for the 18-and-older population (21-and-older figures are not available). Even with the spending more than doubling in Lincoln, Pend Oreille and Stevens counties, all three remain below the statewide average for 2021, which was $251 per person. In fact, Pend Oreille still had the lowest per capita spending among all the counties in 2021, at just $67.
Retail spending in King County pencils out to $211 per person, lower than the statewide average, and lower than the two other counties in the Seattle metro area, Snohomish ($245) and Pierce ($268).
The highest spending per capita was in Asotin County, and it's an eye-popping figure: $866 per person. That's more than double the per capita amount of the next highest county. In Asotin, there were $15 million dollars in sales for an adult population of less than 18,000 in the county.
So what's happening in Asotin?
Most likely, this figure is inflated by sales to folks from neighboring Idaho, where marijuana is illegal, whether for recreational or medical use. Clarkston, the largest city in Asotin County, is part of the Lewiston, Idaho metro area, which has an adult population of about 51,000. I suspect that the cannabis retailers in Clarkston are largely supported by customers from across the state line.
The No. 2 county is Spokane, where per capita sales were $388 — that figure, too, is probably buoyed by sales from Idaho, although more modestly. The city of Coeur d'Alene, Idaho is just minutes away from a number of cannabis retailers in Spokane County.
Unlike Idaho, Oregon has legal marijuana, so Washington's counties along the southern border are not as likely to be picking up out-of-state business.
The highest per capita spending in a Washington county not bordering Idaho was in Grays Harbor, a coastal county in Southwestern Washington, and home to the city of Aberdeen. The county's 60,000 adults spent more than $21 million on cannabis in 2021, for a per capita figure of $347. And I suppose that makes Grays Harbor the true marijuana capital of Washington. | <urn:uuid:9414c55e-b357-46b5-b330-61e44a32b30d> | CC-MAIN-2024-10 | https://chronline.com/stories/cannabis-sales-increased-across-washington-during-pandemic,285021? | 2024-02-20T22:30:06Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-10/segments/1707947473347.0/warc/CC-MAIN-20240220211055-20240221001055-00001.warc.gz | en | 0.974184 | 1,150 |

Pasadena public health officials confirmed the first case of dengue, a mosquito-borne illness, in California on Friday. Officials say that it is an extremely rare case that was locally transmitted and is not associated with international travel.
Dengue is a viral infection that is contracted through bites from infected Aedes mosquitoes. The virus is typically seen in travelers who have visited countries where dengue is present.
Pasadena Public Health Department and the San Gabriel Valley Mosquito and Vector Control District are taking specific measures such as creating traps to assess and test the mosquito population. To date, the results from the tests have not revealed any dengue-infected mosquitoes.
“Pasadena Public Health Department has been conducting surveillance and investigation of mosquito-borne diseases in Pasadena for years,” stated Dr. Matthew Feaster, PPHD Epidemiologist. “Our work so far, in partnership with the Vector Control District, gives us confidence that this was likely an isolated incident and that there is very low risk of additional dengue exposure in Pasadena.”
PPHD is also helping to raise awareness and educate residents on how to prevent the pesky insects from breeding and biting.
“Pasadena is working with healthcare providers to raise awareness of the signs and symptoms of dengue infection and is coordinating prevention efforts with local and state public health officials,” stated Interim Health Officer, Dr. Parveen Kaur. “Eliminating mosquito breeding sources is essential to reducing the spread of mosquitoes and the diseases they carry.”
To reduce mosquito populations and prevent bites and the risk of mosquito-borne diseases, PPHD urges residents to adhere to the following standard precautions:
- Eliminate standing water in clogged rain gutters, rain barrels, discarded tires, buckets, watering troughs, or anything that holds water for more than a week.
- Ensure that swimming pools, spas, and ponds are properly maintained.
- Change the water in pet dishes, birdbaths, and other small containers weekly.
- Report neglected swimming pools in your neighborhood to your vector control district.
- Wear insect repellent containing CDC and EPA approved active ingredients: DEET®, picaridin, IR3535, or oil of lemon eucalyptus.
- Wear loosely fitted, light-colored, long-sleeved shirts and long pants.
Officials say the case of dengue in Pasadena is an extremely rare locally-transmitted case and the risk of exposure for other local residents is very low. | <urn:uuid:593d6af9-1029-4584-952f-4ca690200000> | CC-MAIN-2024-10 | https://circadianpost.com/extremely-rare-case-of-dengue-confirmed-in-pasadena/ | 2024-02-20T21:31:25Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-10/segments/1707947473347.0/warc/CC-MAIN-20240220211055-20240221001055-00001.warc.gz | en | 0.936118 | 527 |
Celia Dropkin (1887-1956) is a dynamic writer whose work is exciting, intense and confronting. Best known for her fierce and intimate poetry, Dropkin brings the same bold, unflinching voice to her short stories. Dropkin’s stories take the reader deep under the skins of sharply drawn characters, casting a critical gaze on the settings and social circumstances that they encounter. In this course, we will read a selection of Dropkin’s short stories in the original Yiddish, and will discuss the themes, characters, contexts and stylistics of these works.

Windows air conditioners are a convenient option for cooling specific rooms or small spaces. However, over time, they can accumulate dirt, dust, and debris, which can affect their efficiency and lead to poor air quality. Regularly cleaning your window air conditioner can help maintain its performance and prolong its lifespan.
Cleaning your window air conditioner without removing it is a simple process that can be done with a few basic tools and materials. We will guide you through the step-by-step process of cleaning your window air conditioner without removing it, ensuring that it remains in good working condition.
First, gather the necessary tools and materials: a vacuum cleaner with a brush attachment, a damp cloth, and a screwdriver (if required for your specific unit). Once you have everything you need, you can follow the steps below to clean your window air conditioner.
Before diving into cleaning your window air conditioner, it’s important to gather the necessary tools and take some precautions to ensure a safe and effective cleaning process. By following these steps, you’ll be ready to tackle the task at hand and keep your air conditioner running smoothly.
Gather Necessary Tools
Start by collecting the tools you’ll need for the cleaning process. Having everything on hand will save you time and make the job much easier. Here are the essential tools you’ll need:
Turn Off the Power
Before starting any cleaning process, it’s crucial to turn off the power supply to your window air conditioner. This step will prevent any accidents or damage during the cleaning process. Follow these steps to ensure the power is turned off:
- Locate the power cord of your air conditioner.
- Unplug the power cord from the electrical outlet.
By turning off the power, you’ll create a safe environment to work in without the risk of electric shock or damage to the unit.
Cleaning the Filter
Cleaning the filter not only improves the quality of the air you breathe but also ensures that your air conditioner operates at its best. In this section, we’ll guide you through the step-by-step process of cleaning the filter without the need to remove the unit from the window.
Remove the Filter
The first step in cleaning the filter of your window air conditioner is to carefully remove it from the unit. Start by locating the filter access panel, which is usually located on the front or side of the air conditioner. Open the panel and take out the filter. It may be secured with clips or screws, so be sure to use the appropriate tools for removal.
Vacuum the Filter
Once you’ve removed the filter, it’s time to remove the dust and debris that has accumulated on its surface. Use a vacuum cleaner with a brush attachment to gently vacuum the filter. Begin from one side and slowly work your way across the entire surface, ensuring that you cover both the front and back of the filter. Pay close attention to any stubborn dirt or particles that may be trapped in the filter’s crevices.
Wash the Filter
After vacuuming, it’s time to give the filter a deeper clean. Fill a basin or sink with warm water and add a mild detergent. Submerge the filter in the soapy water and gently scrub it using a soft brush or sponge. Be sure to clean both sides of the filter, paying extra attention to any particularly dirty areas. Rinse the filter carefully under running water to remove any remaining soap residue.
Dry and Reinstall the Filter
Once the filter is clean, it’s important to allow it to dry thoroughly before reinstalling it. Shake off any excess water from the filter and place it in a well-ventilated area to air dry. Avoid direct sunlight as it may cause the filter to fade or distort. Once the filter is completely dry, carefully reinstall it back into the air conditioner, following the same steps you used to remove it.
Cleaning the filter of your window air conditioner is a simple yet crucial maintenance task. By regularly cleaning the filter, you not only enhance the performance of your air conditioner but also promote cleaner and healthier air indoors. Remember to clean the filter at least once every month during peak usage periods to ensure the optimal functioning of your window air conditioner.
Cleaning the Coils and Fins
When it comes to maintaining your window air conditioner, cleaning the coils and fins is an essential task. Over time, dust, dirt, and debris can accumulate on these delicate components, reducing the efficiency of your AC unit and affecting its cooling performance. Thankfully, you can clean the coils and fins without removing the entire unit from your window. In this section, we will walk you through the process step by step.
Accessing the Coils and Fins
The first step to cleaning the coils and fins of your window air conditioner is to gain access to them. To do this, you will need to remove the front grille or cover of your AC unit. Refer to the manufacturer’s instructions for your specific model to locate the screws or clips that hold the cover in place. Once you have removed the front grille, you will be able to see the coils and fins.
Vacuuming the Coils and Fins
After accessing the coils and fins, it’s time to remove any loose dirt and dust. Use a brush attachment on your vacuum cleaner to gently remove the debris from the coils and fins. Make sure to move the brush attachment in straight lines parallel to the fins to avoid bending or damaging them. Take your time to thoroughly vacuum all the surfaces and corners, ensuring that you remove as much dirt as possible.
Brushing and Wiping the Coils and Fins
Once you have vacuumed away the loose dirt, it is time to tackle any stubborn grime that may be stuck to the coils and fins. Using a soft-bristle brush or a fin brush, gently scrub the coils and fins to dislodge any remaining dirt or debris. Be careful not to apply too much pressure that could bend or damage the delicate fins. After brushing, take a damp cloth or sponge and wipe away any residue, ensuring a clean and smooth surface.
Remember to unplug your air conditioner before performing any cleaning tasks to ensure your safety. Regularly cleaning the coils and fins not only helps your window air conditioner perform more efficiently but also prolongs its lifespan. By following these simple steps, you can keep your air conditioning unit in optimal condition and enjoy cool and refreshing air all summer long.
Cleaning the Drainage System
Learn how to effectively clean your window air conditioner without the hassle of removing it. Keep your drainage system clear and your unit running smoothly with these simple steps.
Locating The Drainage System
To efficiently clean your window air conditioner without removing it, you need to first locate the drainage system. This system plays a crucial role in removing condensed water from the unit, preventing it from accumulating and causing damage. The drainage system typically consists of a drainage tray and a drainage hole. Identifying the exact location of these components is essential before proceeding with the cleaning process.
Removing And Cleaning The Drainage Tray
Once you have located the drainage tray, the next step is to remove it for thorough cleaning. This tray collects the condensed water and any dust or debris that may have accumulated. Follow these simple steps to remove and clean the drainage tray:
- Switch off the air conditioner and unplug it from the power source to ensure safety.
- Locate the access panel that covers the drainage tray. It is usually situated at the bottom or rear of the unit.
- Remove the screws or clips that secure the access panel in place, using a screwdriver or pliers.
- Gently slide out the drainage tray from its compartment.
- Dispose of any standing water from the tray and empty it into a sink or bucket.
- Clean the tray using a mixture of mild detergent and warm water. Scrub off any dirt or grime using a soft brush or sponge.
- Rinse the tray thoroughly to remove any soapy residue.
- Dry the tray completely before placing it back into the unit.
Clearing the Drainage Hole
The drainage hole is responsible for allowing the condensed water to flow out of the air conditioner. Over time, this hole can become clogged with dirt or debris, hindering proper drainage. Clearing the drainage hole is crucial to ensure smooth water flow. Follow these steps to clear the drainage hole effectively:
- With the drainage tray still removed, locate the drainage hole in the unit. It is usually a small opening situated near the bottom of the air conditioner.
- Inspect the hole for any visible blockages such as dirt or debris.
- Use a small, flexible brush (like a pipe cleaner) or a gentle stream of water to clear the accumulated dirt or debris from the drainage hole.
- Ensure that the hole is clean and free from obstructions before reinserting the drainage tray.
Learn how to clean your window air conditioner effortlessly without having to remove it. Follow these simple steps to keep your air conditioner functioning smoothly and efficiently.
Cleaning the Exterior
Once you have completed the interior cleaning of your window air conditioner, it’s time to focus on the exterior. This step is crucial as it ensures that your air conditioner not only looks clean but also functions optimally. Start by wiping down the exterior surface of the air conditioner using a damp cloth. Make sure to remove any dirt, dust, or grime that may have accumulated over time.
Pay extra attention to the air vents and the fan blades, as these areas tend to collect the most debris. Gently scrub the fan blades with a soft-bristle brush to remove any stubborn dirt. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials that could damage the unit. Once you are satisfied with the cleanliness of the exterior, move on to the next step.
Powering on the Air Conditioner
Now that you have thoroughly cleaned the window air conditioner, it’s time to power it back on. Double-check that the power cord is securely plugged into an electrical outlet. Before turning on the air conditioner, ensure that the control panel is set to the desired temperature and cooling mode. Once everything is properly set, switch on the air conditioner and listen for any unusual noises or vibrations.
In the initial minutes, it is normal for the unit to make some noise as it adjusts to the new settings. Monitor the air conditioner for a few minutes to ensure that it is running smoothly and cooling effectively. If you notice any issues or inconsistencies, consult the manufacturer’s manual or contact a professional for assistance.
By following these final steps, you can confidently clean your window air conditioner without removing it and have it ready to provide you with cool and refreshing airflow during those hot summer days. Regular maintenance and cleaning will not only prolong the life of your air conditioner but also ensure that it functions efficiently, saving you both energy and money. So, don’t neglect this essential task and keep your window air conditioner in top-notch condition.
Keeping your window air conditioner clean is essential for optimal performance. By following the step-by-step guide provided in this blog post, you can effectively clean your unit without the hassle of removing it. Regular maintenance will not only improve air quality but also prolong the lifespan of your air conditioner.

Drawing knowledge from professionals in the cleaning industry can lead to substantial improvement in cleaning standards in many facilities (residential, office, sports, production halls or warehouses, medical establishments). Therefore, we encourage to attend the CLEANING FORUM panels and presentations and CASE STUDIES - Digitisation and digitalisation of cleaning services, where guests and experienced professionals will discuss the upcoming challenges and opportunities for companies in the cleaning sector. On the other hand, exhibitors at the CLEANING EXPO 2022 fair will present their latest solutions and products for the industry. Attendance at the Forum and the fair is almost mandatory! Knowledge awaits the participants, which will certainly contribute to improving the operation and enhancing the image of the company and, what is crucial for many: the information gained will simultaneously allow significant savings to be achieved in running the business.
- The upcoming edition of the CLEANING FORUM, together with the CLEANING EXPO fair, will be the only meeting of this scale held this year for representatives of the cleaning industry in Poland. Together with our partners, producers and distributors of solutions for this market segment, we are organising it convinced of the need for live meetings, of the value of direct exchange of opinions, knowledge and experience. As our Exhibitors often repeat: “there is no business without relationships” and it would be hard to disagree with such a statement. The challenges facing the industry in the forthcoming period reinforce our conviction that its integration and permanent contact will create an opportunity for even more effective management and further development of companies, despite the unstable times. In a nutshell: let's meet and talk about our common future! On 4 October, there will be an excellent opportunity to do so in Poznań. - says Witold Lipiński, Project Manager of the Cleaning Expo fair.
LET'S TALK ABOUT THE INDUSTRY AT THE CLEANING FORUM, LET’S MEET AT THE CLEANING EXPO 2022 FAIR IN POZNAŃ!
The modern formula of the event, organised on 4-5 October 2022, is dedicated to representatives of the cleaning sector and comprises industry meetings combined with classic trade fair, enriched with panel discussions and debates with active participation of visitors. A wide range of the exhibition and a high professional level are the hallmarks of this event. The Cleaning Expo fair is the place where the business world primarily meets, exhibitors will present: cleaning machines and devices, equipment, manual tools and accessories for cleaning, chemicals used for cleaning, care and maintenance - both leaders and smaller companies will show their novelties and premières. This will be complemented by the offer of companies providing professional cleaning services.
Additionally, discussions on the most important industry topics will also be held.

We facilitate groups, teams and organisations to uncover current attitudes, patterns and preferences using Clean Language approaches. We're focussed on discovering and encouraging a group's intrinsic motivation to learn and grow while engendering a culture of safety, belonging and freedom.
Moving consistently from contempt, through to curiosity and on to inspiring capability, especially when under pressure and across diversity, leads to anti-fragile interactions that keep more people at their best, more of the time.
Could you use our help?
We can create a bespoke intervention with you.
We start by cleanly interviewing stakeholders to clarify your outcomes and to help you think through what you'd really like to have happen. We uncover the structure of problems and look for the leanest intervention that will have the biggest impact. We have a strong usefulness ethic and will make sure that interventions are fit for purpose, are a good use of our time and your money and are being championed sustainably across the group over time. For large scale projects we recommend building in a Train the Trainer programme.
Interventions can range from mediation, to executive team coaching, to conflict resolution, to wide-scale organisational culture change. We work with all kinds of groups from families, to teams, to boards, to schools and communities.

Prefer to do it yourself?
Get training in Systemic Modelling.
We offer training for leaders, managers, coaches and teams which can be in-house or you can attend open courses with our sister training company Clean Learning. These include, but are not limited to, Creating #DramaFree Conversations, Clean for Teams, A Rough Guide to Me and My Team and ICF accredited Clean Coach Certification.
If you get hooked on the impact of Clean and Systemic Modelling skills you can join our rolling training programme. Once you've completed some of the entry-levels courses above you can develop all of the skills necessary to facilitate diverse groups on diverse topics. You'll be able to support groups in conflict to find their way to curiosity and then to collaboration. You can choose to get assessed to foundation, professional or all the way to master level.
A Rough Guide to Me - a clean tool for understanding yourself and others
We'd like to offer you one of our Systemic Modelling tools: ‘ A Rough Guide to Me' when you sign up to our newsletter. This is a printable booklet for you to complete. It will support your self-awareness and encourage you to advocate for your needs within relationships. Use this tool with friends, colleagues or family to develop an understanding of how you all work, where you're coming from and how to live, work and learn together more effectively.
Where our approach comes from
When individuals understand themselves and their reasons for doing things the way they do them, they can advocate for their needs and make adjustments for others. If you want an effective, happy, high-functioning team, company or family you don't have to rely on luck. With Systemic Modelling, you can create the tools and conditions that help individuals build teams they can be at their best in.
Dr Caitlin Walker's life's work has been developing such tools. Easily understandable, ‘rough-guides’ to individuals and teams that are built by the teams themselves, without having to rely on constraining labels, team roles or diagnoses.
The tool she found most useful in her quest was David Grove's Clean Language. This TEDx tells the story of how she developed a universal language of inquiry for developing collective trust across teams and organisations. It shares the unexpected business and personal benefits of fostering intrinsic motivation and deeply trusting the people you live and work with.
Our theory of change
Clean Questions, when applied in teams, have a number of benefits.
Firstly, they create the conditions for safety. They keep me safe from any unconscious bias I have about you. They keep you safe from my projections, advice, misunderstanding and premature evaluation. A clean question a day keeps assumptions at bay!
Secondly, they create a point in time within which I give you my full attention, I accept and extend the ideas you're sharing with me. You can do the same for me, in the moment. By training our attention to be present we create relationships of belonging and being accepted as we are.
Thirdly, these questions allow the receiver to answer in whatever way they want. They are designed to be minimally constraining. So together we have the freedom to think unfettered thoughts.
Within this video, Caitlin shares how these moments of safety, belonging and freedom can be the antidote to microaggressions and, over time and across communities, can inspire capability so that we can live and work at our best in groups.

She is a Director of Training Attention and the developer of Systemic Modelling™. She is the author of From Contempt to Curiosity, which details many of the innovative and transformational projects she’s led across our communities. She has a doctorate in Clean Language Interviewing and thrives on partnering on rigorous research projects.
Caitlin Walker’s work is hard to describe in a way that does it justice: it’s one of those things that really needs to be seen and experienced in order to understand its power and impact. I rate the impact she has had on the school and the functioning of the people within it as amongst the most significant I have seen. Currently, one of the areas of interest in education is the use of models and coding in order to create shared language and understanding in the organisation. This lies at the heart of Caitlin’s work - she supports teams and individuals in navigating the vagaries of language, enabling them to achieve a common understanding which is free from the bias and ‘loading’ that we all (very naturally) bring to bear. Further, she shows us how to interrogate issues/situations in a clear and objective manner so that barriers and solutions can be clearly seen. Her work is deep and lasting. It’s been more than seven years since she started working with the team and I regularly use the tools she gave us. Only this morning, when setting up a two day training event with 30 teachers, I used the ‘clean set-up’ model to ensure that we all had a common understanding of what was to ensue. Last, her work can transform how pupils think. Working with them directly or through teachers, she can help teachers understand the thinking process and how to optimise it within the curriculum content the school has decided to use.

This training was pure excellence in every respect. The authority and power of Caitlin's skill base, complemented by the range of experienced mentors in our midst was a superb context for the highest quality teaching. The balance of concept coverage and experiential learning was skilfully gauged, the connections created between delegates and trainers, the insightful guidance and warm challenges offered along the way, all conspired to enable learning, at its very best, for all. 'Clean' by its nature creates this, enabling listening at the highest level to create common vision and harness awareness, but the quality of delivery, the privilege of experiencing all of this through and with Caitlin and her team, in her home, with such honouring hospitality, resulted in a learning experience second to none. This training creates deep, unforgettable change and I, my workplace and my home will be the better for it. Thank you.

Working in a tumultuous setting as business manager of several schools, I have found myself in need of external expertise to resolve a complex web of interpersonal conflicts from within a Leadership team to a team of catering assistants. The issues were as convoluted as they were detrimental to our workplace harmony, causing ripple effects in several environments. Caitlin, however, demonstrated an exceptional capability to not just understand, but reshape these dynamics into a framework for collaboration and growth. The result? A transformation that not only resolves conflicts but cultivates a culture of empowerment and improvement - meaning the team is left skilled to self-manage. Her services come highly recommended for any organisation in need of ironing out team dynamics and productivity, and promoting a healthier workplace culture.

From Contempt to Curiosity is a simply brilliant book. If you work with other people in any capacity, do get hold of a copy now - and don’t just read it, enjoy it and learn from it, but act on it. If you are a trainer, coach, educator or business person you will benefit from this book, just as you will if you are a psychotherapist, psychologist, counsellor, politician, parent or student. The reason I recommend it so highly and without reservation for anyone who wants to learn more about themselves and others is that it is not simply about skills, techniques and processes (though it has those in abundance), but it is about our attitudes to learning. The author herself models curiosity, attentiveness, courage and invention. You will identify these qualities in yourself and be encouraged to develop them further. Caitlin writes openly and movingly about her own experience. Go with her. Trust her. Her account is eminently readable and inspiring. You will learn not only about working with groups and individuals, but also about working with yourself, I promise!

Systemic Modelling Training
Once you've completed Clean for Teams, either as an open course or through a bespoke intervention in your workplace, you may join the Systemic Modelling Rolling Programme. We ask that you arrive with a Rough Guide to how you show up as a learner, at work and in groups plus a willingness to engage in the tools as a continuous learner, as well as a facilitator of others.
Systemic Modelling Rolling Programme is a training for you if you recognise the possibilities and the potential of clean facilitation for groups and want to become proficient. The training is modular with some participants booking one module at a time and others purchasing a block of credits for modules and booking them in as they go along. We believe in slow learning and invite participants to learn at their own pace and to integrate skills and attitudes into their practice between modules. We also support a vibrant community of learners where participants can practice with and lean into one another during their development.
Foundation Level means you can think through a clear purpose for a group session, set a congruent frame, construct an effective starting question, train the attention of the group so that all voices are heard, encourage the group to ask one another clean and clean-ish questions and close with consideration for the next steps - all so that the group forms an intelligent network of attention around the topic, uncovering learnings as they emerge. On average this level requires two modules, although this varies depending on learning styles.
Professional Level means you can consistently support groups to become interested in one another's contributions, form networks around a variety of topics, use the basic Systemic Modelling tools to help groups to communicate more effectively, help teams to detect and unpack drama or conflict in-the-moment, and support groups to achieve their goals.
Master Level means you have all the skills of Foundation and Professional Levels and are also able to teach the group to do these things for themselves, independently of a facilitator.
Join our community of practice at the Clean Campus
Learning to develop a clean stance takes practice. Caitlin and Marian have created, with help from other clean leaders and colleagues, a Clean Campus community space for learning, conversations, co-inspiration, professional support and a chance to see clean principles in action. There are communities of interest such as business, education, Clean Language interviewing and Systemic Modelling - along with offers of master classes as well as free peer practice sessions every week. Peer practice sessions will enable you to gain direct experience of clean approaches, develop skills before or between trainings and move from Foundation to Professional level by getting experience with a wide range of topics and groups.
When you arrive at the Clean Campus, introduce yourself, find out which areas are of most interest to you and get involved.

The proposed Tyger River Recreation Regional Plan would be a unique ecological and cultural asset to the Upstate of South Carolina. This initiative recognizes the need for increased public access to our state’s special places. The Tyger River Foundation and Upstate Forever are working together to increase public recreation and eco-tourism within the Tyger River system.
This initiative is focused on a 20-mile section along the North and South Tyger Rivers, building on recent and on-going initiatives to restore historical sites, including the oldest standing mill in South Carolina – Anderson Mill. These cultural gems within this corridor create an opportunity for education, connection, recreation, and access to this pristine area. The focus area for this project is southwest of downtown Spartanburg, in the Moore area, east of the City of Woodruff. We do not know everything that will develop or be preserved along this corridor, and we want your feedback to help shape the future of the Tyger River region! | <urn:uuid:3a676cf7-5483-483b-b82b-9676af7a18f9> | CC-MAIN-2024-10 | https://clients.bolton-menk.com/tygerriverplan/ | 2024-02-20T23:23:02Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-10/segments/1707947473347.0/warc/CC-MAIN-20240220211055-20240221001055-00001.warc.gz | en | 0.919995 | 197 |
👇Watch Daniel’s Case Study Here!👇
About Daniel Jacob
Daniel Jacob is a dating coach who helps men meet, attract, and date quality women. Unlike other coaches in the men’s dating niche, he focuses on addressing deep-rooted limiting beliefs and fears to achieve elite levels of confidence and success in dating.
Daniel developed a system based on his own experiences, providing men with the tools they need to overcome their insecurities and achieve their dating goals.
In the beginning, Daniel struggled with promoting his dating coaching business. With no system or guarantee of income, he experienced burnout and frustration.
He invested in a mentorship program that taught him a webinar-style marketing model, but it was not as effective as he hoped. With high costs per lead and low client trust, Daniel found himself sinking further into financial strain.
The turning point came when he realized the power of multiple touchpoints and engagement through a small Facebook group.
However, he needed to find the right strategy to truly scale his business and achieve sustainable success.
- Increase revenue and profitability while transforming clients’ lives
- Generated $110,000 in total revenue in 90 days
- Achieved a 24x return on ad spend
Daniel Jacob discovered Clients & Community through Facebook ads and decided to join the Prominence Partnership program after some research.
He learned about the “honeypots” strategy and began implementing it in his Facebook group. He also adopted our ad strategy, which involves running ads to Facebook groups and capturing leads through a “trifecta lead” system that captures group members, email addresses, and phone numbers.
By implementing these strategies and utilizing the provided templates, scripts, and other assets from Clients & Community, Daniel was able to grow his business and transform his clients’ lives.
After putting in the work and implementing the strategies, Daniel saw significant results. He spent $2,000 a month on ads and generated between $30,000 to $35,000 per month in revenue.
In total, he generated $80,000 in front-end revenue and nearly $30,000 in back-end revenue, amounting to $110,000.
Daniel attributes his success to the comprehensive support and resources provided by Clients & Community, which allowed him to focus on his business and clients. As a result, he achieved a 24x return on ad spend.

Reduce your ecological footprint now with just one click
Earn money with CO2 certificates on the stock exchange and actively do something for the environment..
WHAT ARE CO2 CERTIFICATES?
CO2 certificates are emission allowance certificates that have been issued to registered industries or companies by the Federal Environment Agency since 2005. These correspond to a permitted level of CO2 emissions. If more CO2 is emitted than permitted, the additional emissions must be paid for or CO2 certificates from other companies must be purchased as compensation.
WHAT ARE CRYPTOCURRENCIES?
A cryptocurrency is a digital currency that was not created by a central authority, e.g., a central bank, but using a mathematical algorithm. The first digital cryptocurrency introduced in 2009 was Bitcoin, which is now considered to be the reserve currency among cryptocurrencies.
WHAT IS BLOCKCHAIN TECHNOLOGY?
The basic technical prerequisite for the creation of cryptocurrencies was the development of blockchain technology by Satoshi Nakamoto. This is where a mathematical algorithm generates computing units that are passed directly between two parties (peer-to-peer) from computer to computer. The transfer is published as a transaction in a network in chronological order in blocks and confirmed by the network. Double payments are not possible, as the transaction can only be carried out by confirming its validity. Once a payment has been made it is non-reversible. This network structure is called a blockchain. The payment transactions are stored within the blockchain architecture in a seamless and forgery-proof manner that can be viewed by everyone on the participating network.
WHAT IS EMISSIONS TRADING?
Surplus CO2 certificates can be sold via the so-called emissions trading system. This means that companies for which the allocated certificates are not sufficient can buy additional CO2 certificates to compensate. Otherwise, the company must pay for any additional emissions.
WHAT ARE WALLETS?
A wallet is a digital money purse that holds all of its owner's coins. Each cryptocurrency has its own wallet and its own key. Whoever is in possession of the key can access the contents of the wallet.
WHAT IS KYC?
KYC is an abbreviation for Know Your Customer and is now mandatory for all transactions. This is where data must be stored that will enable the wallet holder to be identified. Withdrawals via transactions from a wallet without a verified KYC are generally no longer possible. KYC is a security process designed to prevent fraud, theft & money laundering.
WHAT IS AML?
AML is also an acronym and stands for Anti-Money Laundering and includes the KYC process.
WHAT IS THEG?
This is an abbreviation for the Greenhouse Gas Emissions Trading Act. The TEHG adopted in 2011 lays down the principles for trading emission allowances in an emissions trading system. It regulates the allocation of allowances, the issuance of allowances or surrender obligations and enters them in an emissions trading registry which is supervised by the German Emissions Trading Authority (DEHST). | <urn:uuid:38ddacc5-88bc-45b8-aa61-4ead04793b31> | CC-MAIN-2024-10 | https://clima-coins.com/faqs.html | 2024-02-20T21:11:42Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-10/segments/1707947473347.0/warc/CC-MAIN-20240220211055-20240221001055-00001.warc.gz | en | 0.941479 | 613 |
San Diego Beach Report: 2023
State Beach: Border Field • Silver Strand • Torrey Pines • Cardiff • San Elijo • Moonlight • Leucadia • South Carlsbad • Carlsbad
The San Diego County State Beach Report is an annual update of the physical condition of nine California State Park beaches in the County. In addition, an UPCOMING WINTER WAVES AND BEACH EROSION OUTLOOK is provided during the fall months of each year.
The report “Beach Years” begin October 1 of the previous calendar year to best capture a full annual winter (erosion) and summer (accretion) cycle. This 2023 Beach Year Report is based on observations from Oct 1, 2023 to Sep 30, 2023.
Select one of the State Beaches from the menu above to view individual beach survey products.
Figure 1. Summary of observed annual mean beach width change since 1998. Lines are linear best fit beach width trends between El Nino years (and the 2021 Extreme Event year) for individual beaches. Beaches with negative trends since the 2021 Extreme Event year (upper panel) are grouped as currently eroding on a multi-year time scale. Beaches with positive trends since 2021 are grouped as currently accreting (lower panel).
San Diego County beach change over the last several decades can be conceptualized as the interplay between two primary variables:
Unusually high winter waves and severe beach erosion are often
associated with episodic El Nino winters, which typically occur every 2-7 years.
Natural beach widening, or recovery from El Ninos, happens more
gradually over the course of the milder winter years between El Nino events.
During the recovery phase, the beach does not necessarily increase monotonically in annual width, because there is still a modest range of winter and summer wave variability from year to year. However, the net change, or trend, is positive over the recovery years assuming there is a sufficient supply of nearshore sand to migrate shoreward onto the subaerial beach during the summer high tides.
South Torrey Pines State Beach (yellow squares, lower panel) is considered the closest thing to a well-monitored "control beach" in the County. It is long (3.5km), wide (70m), and relatively stable. It hasn't been nourished directly, but is located at the southern boundary of the Oceanside Littoral Cell. As a result, the beach's sand supply is likely enhanced by the overall southward littoral drift in the Cell, and the beach remains mostly sandy year-round.
The last three beach recovery phases (post-2003,2010,2016 El Ninos) at South Torrey Pines show a consistent pattern that begins with an El Nino winter erosion year of varying severity (2-10+ m), followed by multiple years of beach recovery with an average rate of approximately +1m/year (yellow trend line slopes, lower panel, Fig. 1). It is a useful reference beach when interpreting the erosion-recovery phases of the other beaches in the County.

With the entry into force of the Paris Agreement, climate cooperation has broadened and heterogeneity of domestic action has become an accepted feature. This means efforts remain asymmetrical across countries, raising concern about emissions leakage and competitiveness impacts.
Border carbon adjustments (BCAs) could be an answer, as they can level the competitive playing field, reduce emissions leakage, and incentivise trade partners to strengthen their own climate efforts. Economic modelling studies suggest that the effectiveness of BCAs in tackling leakage may vary from moderate to very high.
This brief summarises the draft key messages of the larger report on designing border carbon adjustments for climate protection, which is available for download.

Post:Dont Fall For This Minecraft Server Host Scam
They might be used as a gaggle undertaking or, as the article states, in self-guided studying. The article talks about how to switch the world as an educator with a purpose to make educating simpler and by yourself phrases. Following the pointers I make in this paper, you'll be able to create and use on-line learning with ease. Beneath, you can see resources I've looked at and deemed helpful to making a profitable on-line learning environment. This paper accommodates assets to help teachers who discover themselves thrown into the web studying atmosphere for the foreseeable future navigate with higher ease. With all these questions arises one other: how do I transition my face-to-face learning environment into an internet kind? Moreover, the use of Minecraft signifies that kids can each reveal what they’ve learnt inside the session and by consolidating their studying by means of the game, remember it later. Different typical feedback contains feedback corresponding to “my kids learnt in regards to the connection between actual life and video games well”; “excellent for mixing playing with the curriculum”; “amazingly wonderful, participating and educational”; “I love the idea. Suggestions has been overwhelmingly optimistic; within the project’s first three years of faculty visits, all attending youngsters reported that they loved the session and will relay something that they had learnt.
It’s great to see them all engaged at the identical time and moving into something like this, and it’s related as properly due to what they’ve been listening to about on the news” (verbal suggestions from a instructor observing a session in a college for youngsters with SEN). It's getting somewhat lengthy in the tooth, and this is readily obvious in some of the ground, sky, and weather textures as well as the bare-bones buildings and whatnot. Sudhirtiwari et al., (2020) created an internet site that takes an in-depth look at learning theories as effectively. Culatta (2020) has constructed an internet site filled with learning theories that will help with instructional design. Our support crew can solely assist with inquiries related to VPS management and a few other again-finish issues. Uni and assist teach them - great idea”; “It is excellent for teenagers to be inventive - it is an effective opportunity to learn”; and “my son cherished it and got here back on all three days to attempt one thing new”. For example, a secondary faculty pupil reported anonymously via written feedback that “It was an incredible lesson and I thought the Minecraft made it so I may learn extra about it and understand it better” (Figure 4). Children and teachers appreciate being able to explore novel research areas that link to their instructing and studying curriculum in higher depth than they would normally be capable to do and with access to related experience, and with the ability to take part in associated palms-on demonstrations and ask in-depth questions about them.
In many circumstances, they remark that children who would usually exhibit decrease ranges of social-communication are interacting and collaborating with their friends (e.g. “It was great to see our college students engaged. The most obvious problem is that the good majority of gamers on any given server are villains. Have you ever wondered why video games which are played on computers are most popular to video games for other platforms? minecraft survival servers Do you get pleasure from roleplay dungeon-crawling games like D&D? Their web site accommodates specific pages for each of the various studying theories, like Culatta’s website. As a scholar completing my master’s degree in Academic Know-how, I'm learning from an Instructional Designer and I'll share what I have realized with you, the reader. Online learning, know-how, Instructional Design, ID, alternate forms of instructing and studying, cell studying. When designing a web based learning surroundings, you first need to be taught more about learning itself. There are also associated web sites included to do more research into a specific concept of interest.
Minecraft Education Edition (a comfortable technology) makes use of the classic Socio-constructivist idea during which students learn through doing with others. Every idea has its personal web page through which you can see an outline about the speculation, the application of the speculation, examples, ideas and references to the books that supplied the information. Each page lists the contributors of the idea, key ideas, and extra resources and references from which the data was found. There are a lot of studying theories on the market, and good assets to read in order to narrow down your view. Both means, a devoted server is a superb option to ensure your server has the ability and sources it must do what you want. It’s allowing them to discover on their very own terms at whatever stage they want, it’s a fantastic leveller. For instance, feedback equivalent to “The session was an excellent success and the pupils really loved it. They still discuss it now months afterwards which is a testomony to the way in which the session was delivered” and “They have remembered the expertise and subsequently have remembered the content” have been submitted by means of anonymous online questionnaires which are despatched to participating teachers every college year. Specifically, they inform us that utilizing Minecraft makes the session “fun, fulfilling and different” to their standard school classes, and that it helps them to grasp the content being discussed. | <urn:uuid:c2b29063-3772-4113-abf9-b9a95b5a2906> | CC-MAIN-2024-10 | https://clinfowiki.win/wiki/Post:Dont_Fall_For_This_Minecraft_Server_Host_Scam | 2024-02-20T22:50:50Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-10/segments/1707947473347.0/warc/CC-MAIN-20240220211055-20240221001055-00001.warc.gz | en | 0.965482 | 1,139 |

Single Disc Clutch Kits
110% Increase in Holding Capacity - STREET/RACE
The FX350 System uses the Power Plus I, Hi-Levarage, Heavy-Duty Pressure Plate utilizing our Fiber-Tough friction material. This clutch has a slightly increased holding capacity then the FX300 but will have a slightly more aggressive engagement and will produce some chatter. Similar to the FX300 this clutch is designed for the serious street enthusiast who also might spend a weekend and the track and is running a normally aspirated car that has been highly tuned with cylinder head work such as cams, or with a medium-boost turbo or supercharger setup, or up to 100hp NO2. For years enthusiasts have had to compromise durability for longevity for drivability and vice versa, however with our Fiber-Tough material we have closed the gap between these two tradeoffs. *
- Heavy-Duty Segmented Fiber-Tough Disc
- Steel Backed Segmented Fiber-Tough Friction Material
- Heavy-Duty Sprung Hub (when applicable)
- Marcel Spring Wafer

*Organic/ Kevlar/ Fiber-Tough Clutch kits are expected and tend to have a higher life expectancy than OEM, however not guaranteed. Improper Installation, Driving style, performance upgrades, Break in procedure and light weight flywheels will effect and have a role in determining the life expectancy of the clutch kit.

We here at the Clyde Hill Coalition have been closely monitoring recent developments within our City Council, particularly the council appointment made on January 9th to fill the seat left vacant by the election of Steve Friedman as Mayor. The appointment process came down to two candidates, Lisa Slivka and Tim Rattigan. It is crucial for our community to be aware of the factors that influenced this decision, as it directly impacts residents and the direction our city will take.
Concerns Raised: Personal Connections and Impartiality
As previously highlighted, Slivka has close relationships with certain members of the City Council, particularly Councilmember Hachamovitch. Their involvement in the unsuccessful Prop 1 initiative in 2022 – which aimed to change our city’s form of government by shifting mayoral election power from voters to council members – raises concerns about the potential influence of personal connections on filling the City Council vacancy. Public records revealed an email describing Slivka as a “dear friend” of Hachamovitch, emphasizing their pre-existing relationship. Additionally, as we pointed out, Slivka’s involvement in an unsuccessful PDC complaint against former Mayor Klaas and a public records request targeting the City Administrator further raises questions about her impartiality.
A Strong Contender with Impressive Credentials
On the other hand, as we learned from his application, Tim Rattigan – an outsider from city politics – has a wealth of experience in municipal finance, with 35 years as an Investment Banker who financed $50 billion in capital projects for municipalities. His background includes working with state and local governments on capital needs, budgetary challenges, and financing opportunities. He is decades ahead of any council member in experience for dealing with the state threatening Clyde Hills’ sovereignty. As a 30-year Clyde Hill resident, Rattigan sought to contribute his expertise to better serve our community. His involvement in governmental associations, such as GFOA and NASBO, along with licenses like Series 52 and 53, showcased his commitment to public service. Moreover, his cultural engagement, including serving on the Board of the Seattle Repertory Theatre, demonstrates a holistic understanding of community needs.
City Council Decision: Choosing Slivka Over Rattigan
We encourage you to draw your own conclusions about which candidate is best qualified by watching clips featuring both Slivka and Rattigan’s statements at the January 9th City Council meeting below.
(Starts at 25:54)
(Starts at 34:28)
Despite Rattigan’s undoubtedly impressive interview, the City Council chose Slivka to fill the vacancy.
We believe that the decision, based on the candidates’ backgrounds and their performance during the City Council meeting, is a loss for our community. It’s clear that Rattigan would have brought much-needed experience and expertise to the City Council, benefiting our community.
Unfortunately, our concerns about insider influence have played out, and the decision appears to be more about connections than qualifications. Councilmember Olson motioned for the appointment of Tim Rattigan and highlighted the need for Rattigan’s deep knowledge and experience. Olson voted for Ratigan, while Sinwell, Muramoto, and Hachamovitch declined. Slivka was then motioned by Muromoto, seconded by Sinwell, and appointed.
After the vote, Councilmember Muramoto begged Rattigan to lend his expertise to the city. He said, “Mr. Rattigan, if I may make one comment. I would love having you stay involved with the city. Your expertise is just outstanding… please, please, please.” This raises critical questions about the City Council’s decision-making process for Muromoto, Sinwell, and Hachamovitch. Shouldn’t they be responsible to bring on the best person for the job? Does insider baseball and politics overshadow the community’s best interests?
In the end, this appointment sends a discouraging message to qualified community members who may hesitate to seek positions of leadership without connections. We, as the Clyde Hill Coalition, will continue to advocate for transparency, fairness, and a truly representative City Council.
Mayor Steve Friedman recently appointed Mark Kroese and Jared Wheeler to fill two vacant positions on the city’s Planning Commission. While the appointments are part of Friedman’s new job description, what sets these appointments apart is the lack of even the appearance of an unbiased process. Freidman did not even bother to hold any interviews …
We bid farewell to 2023 and now it’s time to reflect on the highs and lows that marked the year in Clyde Hill. While our picturesque city has experienced moments of unity and progress, it hasn’t been immune to controversies that have left residents questioning the stability of local governance. As we gear up for …
The City of Clyde Hill is presently in a state of transition as the City Council prepares to fill the vacant seat left by now Mayor Steve Friedman, who secured an uncontested victory last November. The impending vote by Councilmembers on January 9th introduces Lisa Slivka and Tim Rattigan as candidates vying for the role. … | <urn:uuid:397590ae-9a92-475d-877e-bb087156d2bb> | CC-MAIN-2024-10 | https://clydehillcoalition.org/2024/01/19/a-missed-opportunity-the-recent-city-council-appointment/ | 2024-02-20T22:47:27Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-10/segments/1707947473347.0/warc/CC-MAIN-20240220211055-20240221001055-00001.warc.gz | en | 0.951661 | 1,061 |
