△Hwabyung means, in Korean, illness (Byung) of fire or anger (Hwa), which arises when people are restrained due to an aspect of the Korean culture from confronting and suppressing their feelings of anger. imageⓒshutterstock_Johan Larson
How To Understand and Approach The Symptom
By Namwook Cho L.Ac.
Among negative emotions, depression, anxiety and anger, Hwabyung is a traditional Korean disorder caused by suppressed anger and has been classified as a disorder since the fourth edition of 『Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM)』.
Hwa-Byung is commonly seen in patients suffering from numerous somatic and other psychological symptoms, such as physical factors such as stomach pain, heart palpitation, chest tightness, fatigue, dull headache, indigestion, a feeling of weakness, insomnia and flushing of the face and the body and emotional factors, for example, anxiety, anger, and depression.
Due to the complexity of the symptom, an understanding of cultural dynamics and etiology is warranted for healthcare providers to diagnose and treat this condition accurately.
Hwabyung is usually comorbid with other disorders;
Menopausal syndrome, depression, and hypertension with anger are commonly seen.
Hwabyung is a neuropsychiatric disease frequently observed in primary care and has a prevalence of approximately 4.2~13.3% in Korea. However, close attention is needed in clinical practice, as Hwabyeong shows chronic progression and is often accompanied by other diseases. Moreover, the morbidity is prolonged, and Hwabyung may show symptoms similar to physical illnesses, such as climacteric syndrome and thyroid dysfunction.
Definition
Hwabyung is a syndrome characterized by explosive manifestations of negative emotions, such as anger, resulting from failure to relieve these emotions. Physical symptoms include chest pressure, a sensation of heat, surges of anger, and a sense of epigastric mass; other symptoms include a feeling of unfairness and anger, bitterness, and han (恨). These symptoms are related to distinct stress events.
Diagnosis
Hwabyung is caused by suppressed anger, characterized by emotional symptoms such as victimized feeling, resentment, anger and rage. But normally, there is no disorder in which anger plays a key role. So, when a patient visits a medical institution with anger as a chief symptom, it is likely to diagnose Hwabyung with other disorders. Therefore, when the patient is diagnosed with other disorders with a high risk of comorbid Hwabyung disorder, such as menopausal syndrome, depression, and hypertension with anger, Hwabyung should be considered.
Meanwhile, Hwabyung is likely to be comorbid with other disorders, such as functional thyroid disorder, which can be accidentally misdiagnosed as Hwabyung. So it is important to assess comorbidities and the necessity of their treatment at the initial stage by differential diagnosis. | eng | 4002971f-24d9-47a1-9699-853361243fe2 | https://theacupuncturetimes.com/hwabyung-shows-complicated-co-existing-mental-and-psychosomatic-symptoms/ |

Lupus erythematosus is an autoimmune condition where the body's immune system confuses body tissues as foreign and attacks them. Its management will depend on its manifestations and severity. The treatment may include antimalarial drugs, corticosteroids, steroid creams for rashes, disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs, immunosuppressants like cyclophosphamide and anti-inflammatory medication like NSAIDs | eng | bb957fcb-df92-4f7f-a3c3-1f6334df4c91 | https://www.avocure.com/lupus-erythematosus-treatment?locale=en |
Strengthening governance for protected species: the case of the Chinese pangolin and the Sunda pangolin
Laos is home to the Chinese and Sunda pangolins, both of which are classified as 'critically endangered' on the IUCN Red List and listed in CITES Appendix II. Their populations are declining rapidly, and no estimate of the number of individuals remaining is available. They are hunted for their meat and, in particular, for their scales, used in traditional Chinese medicine. Pangolins are almost impossible to breed in captivity.
Laos ratified CITES (the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora) in 2004. A recent decree issued by the Prime Minister of Laos aims to strengthen regulation on the protection of forests and wildlife, including the pangolin. However, biodiversity inventories and protection measures are confined to national protected areas, with no data available for other areas.
Oudomxay Province is a crossroads on the trafficking routes between Myanmar, Thailand, China and Vietnam. Pangolin populations are also thought to live there, particularly in three villages in La and Namor districts. The imminent opening of a railway line in 2021, linking the south of China and Vientiane via Oudomxay, is likely to attract more poachers.
This project, run by the Comité de Coopération avec le Laos (CCL), will follow two main lines of action. The first aims to increase knowledge of the remaining pangolin populations as well as the dynamics and extent of trafficking. In the target districts, maps will be drawn up of the areas likely to contain pangolin populations and interviews will be conducted. Optical sensors will be used to estimate the size of the remaining populations. The main findings will be published.
Local governance of biodiversity conservation will be strengthened in order to safeguard the two species. Local authorities will receive training on national and international regulations that apply to protected species and their trafficking, and two multi-stakeholder meetings (local authorities, conservation NGOS, village communities) will be organized. This will lead to the establishment and dissemination of an 'Oudomxay Action Plan for Pangolins and Biodiversity'.
Final sumary report (November 2021):
A mapping of the areas likely to host the two species has been established. This was carried out via field surveys but also through interviews with villagers and poachers. A priority conservation area has been defined. 34 camera traps were subsequently placed around 5 villages. Two individuals were observed in 2 different areas. Due to the very low number of individuals encountered, it was'nt possible to estimate the populations present. 24 other species were also encoutered.
Market visits and meetings with potential traffickers were carried out as well as a surveillance on social media. 185 awareness-raising booklets were distributed to children.
Training on national and international regulations for protected species was organized for 30 people. Another training, on camera traps, was given to 19 people. 2 workshops and 2 consultation sessions in the districts were organized.
An action plan for the protection of local biodiversity, integrating the conservation of pangolin species and their habitat, is being drawn up with local partners. | eng | 9b66a3e6-8795-4b53-a0c4-c0d4bfce9cac | https://www.fondationensemble.org/en/projet/strengthening-governance-for-protected-species-the-case-of-the-chinese-pangolin-and-the-sunda-pangolin/ |

The picture was used as the cover of the April 2017 issue of National Geographic magazine, which dealt with transhumanism. At first, in the background, the first man is pictured as an ape, but the picture shows that humans have evolved, and the reason is shown in the foreground with the eye-implant: technology has enabled humans to make progress and become smarter and more advanced.
Doc B: The three characters are very different and want to change either their bodies or skills/abilities. Zach used to be a sport guy when something happened to him (an accident?) He wants to be able to play his favourite sport again even if it means going through surgery or having to wear a special outfit. David is obese / overweight and everyone is making fun of him / taking a piss/ gives him shit about his weight. He cannot meet girls because of his appearance and wishes he had muscles –no fat – and get rid of his ridiculous nickname. As for Ted, he wishes he could control people's minds and make them obey him.

Georgia Changing Will with Codicil Substituting New Provisions
Description
A codicil is a written supplement to a person's will, which must be dated, signed and witnessed under the same legal rules applicable to the making of the original will, and must make some reference to the will it amends. A codicil can add to, subtract from, revoke or modify the terms of the original will. When the person dies, both the original will and the codicil are subject to the probate process and form the basis for administration of the estate and distribution of the assets of the deceased.
A codicil is used to avoid rewriting the entire will. A codicil should reference each section number of the will and the specific language that will be affected. It is important that a codicil is as clear and precise as possible to avoid undue complications.
Statutory provisions in the various jurisdictions specify the formal requisites of a valid willTitle: Understanding Georgia Changing Will with Codicil Substituting New Provisions: A Comprehensive Overview Introduction: In the realm of estate planning, the process of altering or updating a will is not uncommon. In Georgia, individuals have the option to modify their will through a codicil, which allows for specific provisions to be substituted or added. This article aims to provide a detailed description of what is involved in Georgia Changing Will with Codicil Substituting New Provisions. Keywords: Georgia Changing Will, Codicil, Substituting New Provisions, Estate planning, Will modification 1. The Concept of a Georgia Changing Will: A Georgia Changing Will refers to the process of making alterations or updates to the provisions outlined in an individual's existing will.

Understanding Codicil: In Georgia, a codicil is a legal instrument used to modify specific provisions within a will without requiring a complete overhaul. It provides a streamlined process, allowing testators to make targeted amendments, add new clauses, or substitute existing provisions in their wills. 3. Reasons for Using Codicil to Substituting New Provisions: — Adjustments to Beneficiaries: A testator may want to revise or update the beneficiaries listed in their will due to changing family dynamics, altered relationships, or other considerations. — Changes in Assets: New assets, properties, or investments may need to be included or reassigned among beneficiaries without restructuring the entire will. — Conditional Provisions: Testators can modify or replace contingent or conditional provisions, such as age restrictions or prerequisites for inheritance. 4. Types of Georgia Changing Will with Codicil Substituting New Provisions: a) Basic Codicil Substitution: This type involves the substitution of specific provisions within the existing will by drafting a codicil. It may include changes to beneficiaries, assets, or other relevant clauses, catering to the testator's evolving wishes while maintaining the integrity of the original will. b) Complex Codicil Substitution: In some cases, testators may require extensive changes that go beyond a few provisions. This involves creating a comprehensive codicil, incorporating multiple modifications or substitutions to address complex estate planning scenarios adequately. 5. The Process of Georgia Changing Will with Codicil Substituting New Provisions: a) Consultation: Seek legal advice from an experienced estate planning attorney to understand the requirements, ramifications, and legal implications of changing the will through a codicil. b) Identify Necessary Changes: Determine the specific provisions or clauses that need modification and discuss them with the attorney. c) Drafting the Codicil: The attorney will draft the codicil document, ensuring it adheres to Georgia state laws and incorporates the desired changes. d) Execution and Signature: Sign the codicil in the presence of witnesses, as per Georgia's legal requirements. e) Safekeeping: Store the original codicil and existing will in a secure location, informing the executor or relevant parties of their existence.

FAQ
Yes, a Will or Codicil to a Will can be contested but only for very specific legal reasons. A Codicil is used when only small changes need to be made. The only difference is that a new Will replaces previous ones whereas a Codicil is read in conjunction with the Will.
A codicil is a legal document that acts as a supplement to your last will and testament. In it, you can make changes to your will without having to rewrite your entire original will document.
Is There a Newer Will? Most people revoke one will by making another, which supersedes the old one. That's why most wills begin with a sentence like "I hereby revoke all previous wills and codicils." (A codicil is an addition to a will; they aren't very common these days.)
Changing a Will with a CodicilA codicil is a supplement to an existing Will that makes some alterations but leaves the rest of the Will intact. It is a legal document that is as legally binding as the original Will.
Lack of CapacityIf the person who created the will was not mentally competent when he or she signed the codicil, the changes contained in the codicil may be invalid. California law requires that a person signing a will or codicil to a will has the mental capacity to understand what he or she is signing.
If you do write a new will, you can revoke the old one by destroying it. You can make small changes to your will such as changing the executors or adding a legacy by using a document called a codicil (more on this below).
The terms of joint willsincluding executor, beneficiaries, and other provisionscannot be changed even after the death of one of the testators.
The second type codicil involves revoking an existing clause and replacing it with a new one, for example revoking a previous beneficiary's gift, perhaps because they have died, and leaving it to a new beneficiary, such as a new grandchild.
A Codicil is a document which amends your Will. Rather than preparing a completely new Will, you can have a Codicil prepared which will be read alongside your Will upon your death. For a Codicil to be legally valid, you need to comply with the same formalities as if it were a Will.
Can you amend your existing will without adding a codicil? Once a will has been signed and witnessed, it is a legally binding document. It cannot be changed other than by the use of a codicil. The only other alternative is to write up a completely new will.

Now in its 12th year, CHILD has produced over 100 scientific publications with breakthrough findings that have been featured by global media outlets. The Azad Lab's breastmilk research work has shown that the way breastmilk reaches the baby is important. "Pumped breastmilk gives baby many of the same health benefits as nursing – it's just that nursing may have a slight edge," says Dr. Azad. Read the full success story here!
Diarrhea is a major cause of infant mortality. Azad Lab trainees Dhasni Muthumuni and Dr. Kozeta Miliku conducted this population-based study in collaboration with the ALSPAC Cohort titled "Enhanced Protection Against Diarrhea Among Breastfed Infants of Nonsecretor Mothers", published in the Pediatric Infectious Disease Journal. They found that breastfeeding by nonsecretor mothers was especially protective against diarrhea. Further understanding of this relationship could help reduce infant diarrheal mortality and improve processes for donor milk banking and provision.

I am intrigued by the small active region in the Northern hemisphere of the sun that has a pretty decently sized coronal hole next to it. While I know very little about the physics of an area like this, it is nice to start learning about these regions as we slowly start to increase in solar activity again.
My question is how a non-mathematician such as myself would be able to make sense of "earth facing" activity not necessarily meaning "earth directed" activity. Is there a pretty reliable method of calculating the solar wind path or does it vary? Is there a way to visually represent where on the sun the earth directed activity is coming from at any given time? If there is a large flare on the earth facing side, it might not actually interfere with earth that much, correct?
I hope that makes sense. It's super easy to visualize what I'm trying to say, but difficult to put into terms.
In short, the IMF varies in orientation and that variance can be seen there, usually pointing north, south, or fluctuating between the two. This data is fairly technical, but doesn't require significant education to understand.
The WSA-Enlil page also shows a model that, while seemingly complex at first, is actually quite comprehensive for visualizing Earth(and the rest of the inner solar system) relative to the IMF and any CMEs.
As for anything that is considered Earth-facing, the SDO is situated roughly in-line with Earth relative to the Sun, so if a coronal hole is visible in SDO imagery it is on the Earth-facing side of the solar disc. Simply put, the side of the Sun we can see from Earth-orbiting satellites or ground telescopes is the Earth-facing disk.

This might be what is throwing my imagination off. The spiral of the solar wind on the ENLIL makes me think of the amount of time before it would reach earth as being an almost instantaneous, straight shot.
I want to understand perhaps on a predictable visual level that isn't quite accurate. I wish I had gone to school for this stuff. 😅 I will read the help page multiple times to pound the information into my fantasy-filled artist brain. Maybe with some thorough understanding I will be able to accurately illustrate the complex functions of the sun... wouldn't that be cool?

I understand what you mean. In meteorology, with a satellite like GOES for instance, each frame represents a specific time window - this is often referred to as "resolution". With computer models, the resolution has to be lower than real-time because the data cannot be processed and delivered as fast as it can receive it, so arbitrarily and practically there have to be time-steps with a big enough gap between real-time and work-time so that the data feed can be continuous.
The most difficult part of visualizing the IMF is putting yourself to-scale with the rest of the universe; the Earth is so much larger than a human being, so much deeper than we could possibly hope to physically reach... and we're so much smaller than a planet like Jupiter, which is so much smaller than the Sun, which is only one of approximately 100,000,000,000 stars(simplified estimate) in our galaxy, which is one of countless numbers of galaxies... It betrays our sense of reality, as we can typically only see up to a couple hundred miles/kilometers at any given vantage point(within Earth), and to say that scratches the surface is an overstatement.
The easiest way to understand is not visualizing, but putting numbers to it. The more you understand the numbers, like distance to the Sun, the speed of light, the speed of solar wind, so on and so forth, the more accurate that visualization will seem - it will never quite be a precise idea, but that is okay! That is the purpose of the numbers, to have a concrete figure to compare against other figures.
As Neil deGrasse Tyson says, "The universe is under no obligation to be understood by you."

I have always seen math as its own strange form of art, but while I know people who are amazing at understanding mathematics and can't draw a decent stick figure, I can draw accurate anatomy by memory but have difficulty understanding very basic algebra. I appreciate everything about space weather, but the most amazing part to me is how you're able to transform data, formulas and numbers into visual representations at all. Albeit may not be 100% accurate, It's mind-blowing.
I was trying to follow a presentation by NOAA about the computer programs that they use to predict space weather. I was lost at the first Acronym. 😅 If I could somehow take all of the knowledge and jam it in my fatty brain tissue, that'd be great. The next best way to make sense of it similar to that of anatomy drawing. If you understand what everything is, what its made out of, how it functions, and the affect it has on the things around it, it's much easier to accurately visualize.
Thanks again for meeting me with such reason. Hearing answers from knowledgeable people is much more impacting than attempting to read the first article that pops up on a very complicated google search. | eng | b8f8ccd8-6c37-44ae-908f-b4ef717533f8 | https://community.spaceweatherlive.com/topic/1838-visual-representation-of-earth-directed-solar-activity/ |

Similar to a pacemaker that monitors and responds to heart rhythms, the NeuroPace RNS System is the first and only medical device that can monitor and respond to brain activity. Once your doctor programs the NeuroPace RNS System to detect and respond to your brain activity, it automatically delivers treatment when you need it. Here's how it works:
1) MONITORS: The RNS System constantly monitors your brainwaves, looking for unusual activity that may lead to a seizure. It works all the time, even while you are sleeping.
2) DETECTS: The device is personalized to recognize the electrical patterns specific to your brain, rapidly identifying unusual activity that can lead to a seizure.
3) RESPONDS: Within milliseconds of detecting unusual activity, the device sends brief pulses to instantly disrupt this activity and normalize your brainwaves, often before you can feel seizure symptoms.

Deaths from Suicide, Alcohol, Drugs and Gun Violence A National Crisis in America
According to a 2019 Scorecard on State Health System Performance published by The Commonwealth Fund, the rise in deaths from suicide, alcohol, and drug overdose has reached a national crisis in the United States.
The Commonwealth Fund's 2019 Scorecard on State Health System Performance reveals that most states are losing ground on key measures related to life expectancy as premature deaths from suicide, alcohol, and drug overdose continue to increase. Most alarming, in some states residents now face shorter life expectancies than just a few years ago, in part because of unrelenting increases in deaths linked to suicide, alcohol, and drug overdose.
West Virginia, Ohio, Pennsylvania, the District of Columbia, Kentucky, Delaware, and New Hampshire stand out as having the highest death rates from drug overdoses. West Virginia and Ohio have been hard hit by the opioid epidemic.
The Scorecard also found that health care costs are placing an increasing financial burden on families across the United States. Democrat-leaning states such as Hawaii, Massachusetts, Minnesota, Washington, Connecticut, and Vermont are the top-ranked states in healthcare coverage according to the Scorecard, which assesses all 50 states and the District of Columbia on 47 measures of access to health care, quality of care, service use and costs of care, health outcomes, and income-based health care disparities. The mainly Republican states of Mississippi, Oklahoma, Texas, Nevada and Arkansas are the lowest ranked according to the Scorecard | eng | a70edf82-5e1e-46e2-9400-b746313b6db3 | https://features.kodoom.com/en/health-science/deaths-from-suicide-alcohol-drugs-and-gun-violence-a-national-crisis-in/v/6808/ |
Maximizing Website Performance: A Guide to Essential KPIs
In the digital age, where a company's online presence is often the first point of contact with potential customers, the significance of website performance tracking cannot be overstated. An effectively functioning website is more than just a virtual storefront; it's a critical asset that can make or break a business. Monitoring its performance provides invaluable insights into user experiences, loading times, and overall efficiency. Understanding these metrics is the foundation for optimizing the website, enhancing user satisfaction, maximizing conversions, and ultimately, driving the success of a business in the competitive landscape of the internet.
The Role of Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) in Evaluating Website Success
Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) play a critical role in website performance tracking and assessing website success. They are essential metrics that help businesses quantify and measure various aspects of their website's performance, enabling informed decision-making and strategic improvements. Here's a breakdown of why they matter:
Measuring Progress and Success: KPIs provide a standardized way to measure and evaluate the progress of a website in achieving its goals and objectives. They serve as benchmarks to assess the effectiveness of strategies and initiatives.
Setting Clear Objectives: KPIs allow businesses to set clear and achievable objectives for their website. By identifying specific metrics aligned with business goals (e.g., traffic increase, conversion rates), businesses can direct their efforts more effectively.
Identifying Strengths and Weaknesses: Through KPIs, businesses can identify the strengths and weaknesses of their website. By tracking various metrics such as user engagement, bounce rates, and conversion rates, they can pinpoint areas for improvement.
Facilitating Data-Driven Decisions: They also provide data-driven insights into how the website is performing. This data helps in making informed decisions to optimize the website, enhance user experience, and improve overall performance.
Aligning with Business Goals: KPIs are chosen to align with broader business objectives. They ensure that website performance is directly contributing to the organization's success, whether it's increasing sales, generating leads, or enhancing brand visibility.
Enabling Comparative Analysis: KPIs enable businesses to compare their website performance over time or against industry benchmarks. This helps in understanding trends, identifying patterns, and making necessary adjustments for better outcomes.
Prioritizing Resources and Efforts: By analyzing KPIs, businesses can allocate resources effectively. They can prioritize areas that need immediate attention, ensuring efficient utilization of time and budget.
Communicating Progress to Stakeholders: KPIs serve as a common language to communicate progress to stakeholders within and outside the organization. They provide a clear and understandable way to showcase the impact of website performance on business objectives.
In conclusion, KPIs are indispensable tools that guide and inform the ongoing efforts to enhance a website's performance and align it with the overarching goals of the business. They drive continuous improvements, foster data-driven decision-making, and ultimately contribute to achieving organizational success in the digital landscape.
Core Website Performance Metrics
When measuring website performance, various types of metrics are important to consider, each providing insights into different aspects of the website's effectiveness and user engagement. Here are some common types of metrics for websites:
Traffic Metrics
Traffic generation metrics are vital tools for assessing the success and impact of online strategies aimed at attracting visitors to a website or digital platform. These metrics provide valuable insights into the quantity, quality, and behavior of incoming traffic, helping businesses and marketers understand how effectively their marketing efforts are performing. By analyzing metrics such as website visits, page views, and unique visitors organizations can refine their marketing strategies and optimize their online presence to drive meaningful engagement and achieve their desired objectives.
Unique Visitors: Unique visitors represent the count of distinct individuals who visit a website within a specified time period. This metric is crucial for assessing the reach and scope of a website in attracting a diverse audience. For instance, if an e-commerce website has 10,000 unique visitors in a month, it indicates the potential customer base and helps in tailoring marketing strategies to engage and retain these visitors effectively.
Pageviews: Pageviews denote the total number of pages viewed by all visitors on a website during a given period. It offers insights into how engaging and informative the content is, as well as the overall navigational structure of the website. A high pageview count might indicate compelling content, but if paired with a high bounce rate, it could suggest that visitors are not finding what they need, prompting a need for improved website navigation or content relevance.
Sessions: A session represents a single visit or browsing activity by a user on a website. It starts when a user enters the site and ends after a period of inactivity or when they leave the site. Monitoring sessions provide an understanding of user engagement and behavior patterns. For example, if a blog website has 20,000 sessions in a month, it showcases the volume of interactions and aids in analyzing which content resonates most with the audience, helping to tailor future content strategies accordingly.
Engagement Metrics
Engagement metrics on a website are the compass guiding online success, offering a deep understanding of how users interact and connect with the content and features of a digital platform. Metrics such as time spent on the website or click-through rates, social shares, comments, and form submissions. They provide crucial insights into user behavior and preferences, enabling website owners and marketers to optimize the user experience, tailor content, and refine strategies for greater engagement. By leveraging these metrics, businesses can foster stronger connections with their audience, drive conversions, and ultimately achieve their online objectives.
Average Time on Page: It measures the average duration a user spends on a specific webpage. For example, if the average time on a blog post page is 3 minutes, it indicates that visitors are engaging with the content for an extended period, likely finding it valuable and relevant.
Bounce Rate: It is the percentage of visitors who leave a website after viewing only one page. For instance, if the bounce rate for a landing page is 45%, it means that 45% of visitors exited without interacting further. A lower bounce rate, such as 25%, implies that a higher proportion of visitors explored the website beyond the landing page.
Click-Through Rate (CTR): It is a critical metric that measures the ratio of clicks on a specific element to the number of times it was viewed. Let's say an email campaign achieved a CTR of 10%, meaning 10% of recipients clicked on the provided link. A higher CTR, like 15%, indicates a more compelling and engaging element that entices users to take the desired action.
Conversion Metrics
Conversion metrics are the cornerstone of digital success, offering a precise measure of a website's effectiveness in turning visitors into desired actions, such as making a purchase, filling out a form, or signing up for a newsletter. These metrics encompass a variety of data points, including conversion rate, cost per conversion, and abandonment rate.
Conversion Rate: This is a vital metric that measures the percentage of website visitors who complete a desired action, such as making a purchase, signing up for a newsletter, or filling out a contact form. For example, if a website has 1,000 visitors and 50 of them make a purchase, the conversion rate is 5%. A higher conversion rate indicates an effective website in driving visitors toward the intended goals.
Goal Completions: This refers to the number of times a specific goal, defined by the website owner, is achieved. These goals can vary, including completing a purchase, submitting a lead form, or downloading a resource. For instance, if a goal is for users to subscribe to a newsletter and 200 users successfully subscribe in a month, it represents 200 goal completions.
Customer Acquisition Cost (CAC): Itis a critical financial KPI that calculates the average cost incurred to acquire a new customer. It's derived by dividing the total acquisition costs (marketing, sales, etc.) by the number of customers acquired within a specific period. For example, if a company spends $10,000 on marketing and acquires 200 customers, the CAC is $50. Monitoring CAC helps in evaluating the efficiency of marketing campaigns and cost-effectiveness in acquiring new customers.
Abandonment rate:It signifies the percentage of users who initiate an action but don't complete it, indicating potential user experience issues. In e-commerce, this often pertains to users starting a purchase but not finalizing it due to reasons like complicated checkout processes or concerns about pricing. Lowering abandonment rates involves optimizing the user journey and addressing obstacles to encourage action completion.
Retention and Loyalty Metrics
Retention metrics are fundamental in gauging the ability of a business to keep customers engaged and coming back. These metrics provide crucial insights into customer loyalty, satisfaction, and long-term commitment to a product or service. By analyzing metrics like new or returning visitors to the website, organizations can identify areas for improvement and implement strategies to keep customers engaged.
New Visitors: New visitors refer to individuals who are accessing your website for the first time within the specified tracking period (e.g., a day, week, month, etc.). Tracking new visitors is crucial as it reflects the ability of your website to attract fresh traffic and widen its reach. High numbers of new visitors indicate successful marketing efforts, SEO, or effective outreach campaigns.
Returning Visitors: Returning visitors are those who have accessed your website more than once within the specified tracking period. Tracking returning visitors is vital as it demonstrates user retention and loyalty. High numbers of returning visitors signify that your website provides value and encourages users to come back, indicating a strong user experience and potentially a loyal customer base.
Return Visitor Rate: Percentage of returning visitors compared to new visitors. Understanding the ratio of new to returning visitors is crucial for optimizing user experience and engagement. Too many new visitors with few returning may indicate difficulty in retaining users. Improvements in content, user interface, or engagement strategies may be needed. Too few new visitors suggest that your outreach strategies or marketing efforts might need enhancement to attract new audiences and expand your reach. A balanced mix of both is often desirable.
Site Performance Metrics
Site performance metrics are the heartbeat of a website's efficiency and user satisfaction. These metrics encompass a range of vital indicators, including page load speed, server response time, uptime, and overall site responsiveness. They offer valuable insights into how quickly and reliably a website loads and functions for its users, directly impacting user experience and engagement. Monitoring and analyzing these metrics is essential for businesses and website owners, enabling them to identify bottlenecks, optimize their site's speed and stability, and provide visitors with a seamless and satisfying online interaction.
Load Time: It is a crucial performance metric that measures the time it takes for a webpage to fully load and display its content. A fast load time is critical for user satisfaction, as slow-loading pages can deter visitors and negatively impact engagement. For instance, if a webpage takes 3 seconds to load, it is considered efficient, but if it takes 10 seconds, it might lead to a higher bounce rate due to user frustration.
Mobile Optimization: It assesses how well a website performs and appears on mobile devices. With a significant portion of internet traffic coming from mobile users, it's essential for a website to be responsive and optimized for various screen sizes. For example, if a website has a mobile-friendly design, ensuring easy navigation and readability on smartphones and tablets, it contributes to a positive user experience, potentially leading to increased engagement and conversions.
Server Response Time: Server response time is the duration taken by a web server to respond to a request from a browser. It includes the time needed for the server to process the request and prepare the webpage for display. A faster server response time indicates a more efficient and responsive server, leading to quicker loading of web pages. For example, a server response time of 200 milliseconds means the server took 0.2 seconds to respond to the request. Optimizing server response time is crucial for providing a smooth user experience and improving website performance.
Customer Satisfaction Metrics
Customer satisfaction metrics on a website are the compass for understanding and enhancing the user experience. These metrics encompass a range of data points, including customer feedback, ratings, and NPS, designed to measure the level of satisfaction and delight users experience while navigating a website. Understanding customer sentiments and gauging their satisfaction provides crucial insights into what works well and what needs improvement.
Net Promoter Score (NPS): It is a widely used metric to gauge customer satisfaction and measure their likelihood to recommend a company's products or services to others. It is based on a simple question: "How likely is it that you would recommend our company/product/service to a friend or colleague?" The responses are collected on a scale from 0 to 10, with respondents categorized into promoters (score 9-10), passives (score 7-8), and detractors (score 0-6). To calculate NPS, subtract the percentage of detractors from the percentage of promoters. For example, if 30% are promoters and 10% are detractors, the NPS is 20 (30% - 10% = 20), indicating a positive overall sentiment and potential for growth. NPS provides actionable insights into customer loyalty and helps businesses focus on improving customer experiences and driving referrals.
Customer Feedback and Reviews: These are opinions and comments provided by customers based on their experiences with a product or service. This feedback can encompass various aspects, such as product quality, customer service, ease of use, and overall satisfaction. These insights are valuable for businesses as they offer an understanding of customer perceptions, strengths, and areas for improvement. For instance, a positive review highlighting exceptional customer service can attract more potential customers. Effectively gathering, analyzing, and acting upon customer feedback is essential for enhancing offerings and building a strong reputation in the market.
SEO and Organic Search Metrics
SEO and organic search metrics are the compasses guiding a website's visibility and success in the digital realm. These metrics encompass data points such as organic traffic, keyword rankings, and backlink quality. By analyzing these metrics, businesses can understand how well their website is performing in organic search, identify areas for improvement, and refine their SEO strategies to attract more targeted and relevant traffic, ultimately boosting their online presence and reach.
Keyword Rankings: It refers to the position a webpage holds in search engine results for a particular keyword or set of keywords. It indicates the web page's visibility and relevance for those specific terms. For example, if a website ranks first for the keyword "best smartphones," it appears at the top of the search results page. Monitoring keyword rankings helps in assessing the effectiveness of SEO strategies and identifying opportunities for improvement. Higher rankings usually lead to increased visibility, traffic, and potential customer engagement, making it a crucial metric for online businesses striving to improve their online presence.
Organic Traffic: Organic traffic refers to the visitors that come to a website through unpaid, natural search results rather than through paid advertising. It's the traffic that finds the website through search engines like Google, Bing, or Yahoo without the influence of paid promotions. For instance, if a user searches for "best travel destinations" and clicks on a non-advertisement link that leads to a travel blog, that visit is considered organic traffic. Monitoring organic traffic is vital for assessing the effectiveness of SEO efforts and the website's overall visibility in search engine results. High organic traffic indicates strong online visibility and effective SEO strategies, often resulting in increased engagement and potential conversions. It's a fundamental metric for businesses aiming to improve their online presence organically.
Backlink quality: Itrefers to the assessment of the credibility, relevance, and authority of a link pointing to a particular website. It's a crucial factor in search engine optimization (SEO) as search engines consider high-quality backlinks as a sign of trust and value. A high-quality backlink typically comes from a reputable and relevant website in the same or a related industry. For example, if a reputable tech news website links to a specific technology blog, it signifies high backlink quality, potentially boosting the blog's search engine ranking and credibility in the eyes of search engines.
Setting Goals and Benchmarks
Establishing realistic goals for each Key Performance Indicator (KPI) involves a thorough understanding of your business objectives, historical data analysis, and a consideration of industry standards. It's essential to set (SMART) goals that are specific enough to know what to measure; measurable, so you can put a number on it; achievable, that is challenging but not impossible; relevant, so each KPI actually matters to what you're trying to do; and time-bound, which has a deadline, so you stay on track and focused. For example, if the current conversion rate is 2%, setting a SMART goal to increase it to 4% within the next quarter aligns with the business objective of boosting conversions and provides a clear target for the team to work towards.
Additionally, benchmarking against industry standards is crucial for assessing how your website's performance compares to others in the same domain. It provides valuable insights into areas where your website excels and where it falls short. For instance, comparing your website's bounce rate with the industry average helps in understanding if your website is performing better or worse in engaging visitors. Benchmarking also allows for setting more realistic and competitive goals based on what similar successful businesses achieve, aiding in strategic decision-making.
How to find the right information? Well, there are many tools out there. You can check the latest reports on your industry for your website - like reports from Datareportal,Sproutsocial, and Forbes- or you can check your industry benchmarks from SemrushorSimilarweb.
You can also find more information about website 2023 benchmarks here.
Tracking and Analyzing
Various tools and platforms are available to effectively track and monitor your metrics and KPIs. Google Analytics is a widely used free tool that provides comprehensive insights into website traffic, user behavior, and conversions. It allows you to set and track goals, measure conversion rates, and analyze user engagement.
Analyzing KPI data involves a systematic approach to extracting meaningful insights. Start by regularly reviewing your metrics and KPIs trends over time, identifying patterns, and understanding correlations. If, for example, you notice a consistent increase in conversion rates following a specific marketing campaign, it suggests the campaign's effectiveness. Moreover, conduct segmentation analysis to understand how different user groups behave, enabling personalized strategies. A/B testing is another powerful strategy to experiment with different elements and analyze their impact on KPIs, helping in optimizing for better outcomes.
Optimizing Performance based on Insights
Now that we have the metrics and tools in place, it is time to make data-driven decisions. What we mean by that is using insights from KPIs to guide optimizations for better website performance. For example, if the data indicates that a particular product page has a high bounce rate and low conversion rate, consider improving the page's design, adding clearer CTAs, or optimizing load times to enhance user experience and boost conversions. By analyzing and acting upon the KPIs, businesses can iteratively refine strategies, content, and user interfaces, resulting in a more effective and user-centric website.
Examples of Optimization Strategies for Different KPIs
Conversion Rate Optimization (CRO): Utilizing A/B testing to experiment with different variations of a landing page or product display to determine the most effective design for increasing conversion rates. For instance, changing the color and placement of a call-to-action button can significantly impact click-through rates and ultimately conversions.
In essence, tracking and measuring website performance through KPIs is akin to having a compass in the vast digital landscape. It provides businesses with a roadmap, allowing them to navigate and make informed decisions to enhance their online presence. Understanding user behavior, identifying areas for improvement, and optimizing the website based on KPI insights can significantly impact a brand's success. It's not just about the numbers; it's about unraveling the story behind those numbers. By constantly assessing performance, setting achievable goals, and refining strategies, businesses can ensure their website remains a powerful tool to engage, convert, and ultimately achieve their organizational objectives.

Robert B. Parker's Stone's throw [large print] / Mike Lupica.
"The town of Paradise receives a shock when the mayor is discovered dead. It's ostensibly suicide, but Jesse has his doubts. The piece of land where the man was found is the subject of a contentious land deal. Two powerful moguls are fighting over the right to develop the prime real estate, and one of them has brought in a hired gun, an old adversary of Jesse's: Wilson Cromartie, aka Crow. Meanwhile, the town is debating if they want to sacrifice Paradise's stately character for the economic boost of a glitzy new development. As the deaths begin to mount, it's clear the mayor may have been standing in the wrong person's way"--Page 4 of cover.

US: The Taliban has violated the Doha agreement
At a press briefing on Wednesday, Ned Price, the spokesperson for the US State Department, accused the Taliban of violating the Doha agreement by sheltering Ayman al-Zawahiri, the former leader of al-Qaeda who was killed in a US drone strike in Kabul on 31 July 2022.
Price also stated that the group had not fulfilled its commitment to "engage in political dialogue for a negotiated settlement" to the Afghan conflict.
On the other hand, the Taliban has repeatedly accused the US of not adhering to the Doha Deal.
Speaking at a large gathering to celebrate the 3rd anniversary of the Doha Deal, the Taliban deputy prime minister, Mullah Abdul Ghani Baradar, said the US was not allowing the world to engage with the group's government and had illegally frozen the country's assets.
Ned Price said that "We shouldn't forget that the Doha Agreement envisioned a peaceful settlement, not a takeover on the part of the Taliban." The title of the agreement, Price said, was clear of what it meant: An "Agreement for Bringing Peace to Afghanistan"
The former US diplomate who negotiated and signed the agreement on behalf of the US, Zalmay Khalilzad said that the Doha agreement required the Taliban to negotiate with the "Afghan sides" not just the previous government.
According to Price, for the US's position was that "The Taliban also have not fulfilled their Doha commitment to engage in political dialogue leading to a negotiated settlement. That remains to be done." | eng | 14954c0e-f789-4488-9b26-0f3f03717ce6 | https://kabulnow.com/2023/03/us-the-taliban-has-violated-the-doha-agreement/ |

Ceremony set to honor Vets Day
It was the eleventh hour of the eleventh day of the eleventh month in 1918 when the armistice went into effect ending the fighting in "The Great War." Guns fell eerily silent all along the front bringing to an end "the war to end all wars," World War I. The Treaty of Versailles officially ended the war on June 28, 1919. As noble as the aspiration to end all wars might have been, the treaty settlements failed leading to some of the disputes festering into World War II.
Nov. 11, Armistice Day as it became known, was first celebrated as an official holiday in 1926 and became a national holiday in 1938. In 1954, Armistice Day became Veterans Day due to honoring veterans from two more wars after "the war to end all wars."

During a brief period between 1968 and 1978, Veterans Day ceremonies were observed on the fourth Monday of October. However, strong feelings for the traditional date prevailed prompting Congress to return it to November 11.
Veterans Day is observed each year to honor those serving and those who have served in the Armed Forces of the United States.
It is a day of remembrance for the living as well as the dead. Services are carried out throughout the country on this special day.
The national observance is centered around the "Tomb of the Unknowns." Unknown soldiers from World War I, World War II, Korean War, and the Vietnam War were interred at the "Tomb of the Unknowns."
However, with the advent of DNA testing, the Vietnam War unknown was identified in 1998.
His body was disinterred and reburied in Missouri by his family.
The unknowns are representative of all who gave their lives in service to our country. Each year, on Nov. 11 at 11 a.m., a presidential wreath is placed and "Taps" played as a tribute to all of our nation's war dead.
Local services will be at Memorial Stadium on Saturday, Nov. 11, at 11 a.m.
Please attend and show support for veterans and active duty armed forces personnel.
The war on terror will be long, difficult and expensive. American soldiers are part of our shield of protection from Islamic terrorist who desire to annihilate us. We need to support our service personnel and thank God for them.
It is being requested by the Secretary of Veterans Affairs, James Nicholson, and leaders of veterans organizations for veterans to wear their medals received during military service on Nov. 11.
The idea is to foster a new spirit of patriotism much like a similar tradition practiced in Australia and New Zealand. The idea is to exhibit pride and tradition in being and honoring veterans. Aside from serving God, there can be no greater honor or cause than to serve your country during wartime.
If you are unable to attend a public service, please consider observing two minutes of silent reverence and pray at 11 a.m. for all who gave their lives, those who have served in our armed forces, and those presently in harm's way for the cause of democracy and freedom around the world.
God bless all who wear and have worn the uniform of the most generous and powerful country on the face of the earth.

The Effects of Cocaine A Powerful Central Nervous System Stimulant
In the realm of psychoactive substances, cocaine stands as a potent example of a central nervous system stimulant. This article delves into the classification, effects, and potential risks associated with cocaine use and difference between stimulant or depressant.
Understanding Cocaine as a Stimulant
Cocaine is unequivocally classified as a stimulant drug due to its profound effects on the central nervous system. When ingested, cocaine triggers an immediate surge in neural activity, leading to heightened alertness, increased energy, and enhanced mood. This stimulatory effect is primarily attributed to cocaine's ability to interfere with the reabsorption of neurotransmitters like dopamine, resulting in an accumulation of these chemicals in the brain's synapses.
Short-Term Effects and Euphoria
Upon consumption, users of cocaine often experience a short-lived but intense euphoria, accompanied by heightened confidence and an increased sense of sociability. This intense "high" is the result of elevated dopamine levels in the brain, which create a pleasurable sensation. However, this euphoric state is fleeting, and the subsequent "crash" that follows can include feelings of fatigue, irritability, and depression.
Risks and Adverse Consequences
While cocaine's stimulating effects may appear appealing, the risks associated with its use are substantial. Regular or excessive consumption of cocaine can lead to a range of negative health outcomes, including cardiovascular issues like high blood pressure and heart palpitations. Cocaine is also notorious for its addictive potential, as its stimulating effects can lead users to crave the intense euphoria it provides.
Long-Term Implications
Long-term cocaine use can have severe implications for mental health, contributing to the development of anxiety disorders, paranoia, and even hallucinations. Additionally, the "binge and crash" cycle that often accompanies cocaine use can disrupt sleep patterns and lead to exhaustion.
The Complex Effects of Cocaine
Cocaine is an unequivocal stimulant and not depressant, it profoundly affects the central nervous system. While its initial euphoric effects may be enticing, the potential risks and negative consequences associated with cocaine use are significant. From cardiovascular issues to addiction and mental health implications, the allure of cocaine is overshadowed by its potential for harm. It's crucial for individuals to be well-informed about the realities of cocaine use and to seek professional help if they or someone they know is struggling with its | eng | 3aebc8af-e696-41af-b2b5-20bc3ecf9c1b | https://denochemexicana.com/is-cocaine-a-stimulant-or-depressant/ |

As climate variability increases, each species within an ecological community will respond individually. With current information, it is impossible to know specifically how climatic changes will affect native plant populations or how invasive plants will respond. It is certain, however, that no two plants will respond in the same way to any given change. Regardless of the instigating factors, the establishment of invasive plants would likely be assisted if the current ecosystem breaks …
The gypsy moth (Lymantria dispar) (Fig. 1) was intentionally introduced from Europe to the northeastern United States in 1869. It has spread west and south in the United States as well as north into Canada, where it has reached its northern limit due, in part, to adverse climatic conditions. Currently, the gypsy moth is confined to areas east of Lake Superior, although isolated infestationsCompetition for resources (moisture, light, nutrients) is fierce in the often resource-limited environments of the desert Southwest.

Human growth hormone gland, next closest thing to steroids
Human growth hormone gland
Overview: human growth hormone is a hormone provided in the body by the pituitary gland and is an incredible anabolic agent. HGH enhances the growth and the number of the cells in each body part. In order to get the maximum benefit from a particular type of training, an athlete needs to supplement his or her HGH levels, human growth hormone gland. While HGH itself is not dangerous, it is best to supplement with the HGH-A form. A higher dose of HGH-A does stimulate the body to maintain maximum testosterone levels, but the effect may be more prominent the longer a person takes the HGH-A, hormone growth gland human. However, there are other supplements designed for this purpose, such as HGH-A and HGH-C, human growth hormone cycle dosage.
The Testosterone Complex
HGH is delivered in a complex called the Testosterone Complex, which consists of four products, human growth hormone how to buy. This combination is highly effective, and it can increase or decrease the testosterone levels of a man depending on the individual's individual needs.
Testosterone Enanthate
The testosterone enanthate was first discovered by scientists in the 1950s, human growth hormone mk-677. The name refers to the way the compound works inside the target tissue. HGH is an excellent source of pure testosterone. However, it is not the only source, human growth hormone for sale. Certain foods can also provide you with enough testosterone.
HGH-A
In the beginning, testosterones (testosterone that is produced naturally and not added into a supplement) weren't much of an option to choose from. Today, they are a common choice, human growth hormone after 50. The only drawback is the cost, human growth hormone gut.
HGH-C
It is known as the 'slowest' form of testosterone and was only discovered a few years ago, hormone growth gland human0. This form is still pretty new. It will increase your testosterone levels while decreasing your chances of suffering from male pattern hair loss (MBH), as there's not enough evidence of how effective it is.
The Endocrinology Complex
Testosterone is an anabolic hormone, hormone growth gland human1. It is produced throughout the body when testosterone levels are elevated. The HGH/HGH–A complex is one that is very good at boosting and balancing the production of testosterone. This complex is also good at lowering the body's metabolism, hormone growth gland human2. This means that it's very effective at improving weight loss as it gives you more energy, hormone growth gland human3.
The Testosterone Enanthate and HGH–A Complex are both a natural and a safe treatment option for males and are extremely effective at boosting testosterone levels, hormone growth gland human4. However, the HGH–C is considered to be a more effective option.
Next closest thing to steroids
Legal steroids like Androstenedione ( andro), 1-AD,1-test and 4-Androstenedione are the closest thing to real steroids and some of these are available legallyin prescription and over the counter drug stores and pharmacies.
But there are other ways to get androgenic steroids, human growth hormone muscle building.
As with any substance, buying and using it isn't without risk, human growth hormone name. These steroids and the people who provide them in many cases shouldn't be used without a prescription, human growth hormone prescription name. But what's at stake is really less about them: it's all about women's health because the way we raise children affects how we grow up. In the future, some of these dangerous chemicals may even lead to cancer. So far, scientists have known very little about the chemicals' estrogenic or androgenic properties, human growth hormone effects.
There are two main types of female hormones: estrogen and androgen; and an enzyme that converts the two into these hormones. These hormones are produced in a variety of different ways and are absorbed through different structures: the small intestine and the breast, human growth hormone for 21 year old. When they reach the circulation, they begin to accumulate in the bloodstream, especially in white blood cells. These cells carry the hormones and then they are taken up by the ovaries. The hormones that get taken up are estrogen and testosterone, human growth hormone effects. The body uses several different mechanisms to make the hormones. It converts estradiol and testosterone into estrogen, from which the rest of the body gets rid of the old estrogen. It also turns down the production and expression of the enzyme that produces testosterone and thus prevents the excess from passing through the body, human growth hormone osteoarthritis.
Because the estrogen and the testosterone are metabolized so differently, some end up with the same effects, some with completely different effects, human growth hormone hair. We need a lot of different mechanisms to get each hormone into the body and out again, next closest steroids thing to. One possible mechanism that has been proposed as a possible reason for why breast cancer could grow more slowly as the endocrine system is stimulated is because the estrogen can suppress the expression of a gene, BRCA1. By blocking the production of BRCA1, and the breast cancers' ability to produce new genes, estrogen may stimulate the production of other genes, which could lead to a normal growth rate.
These hormone effects, although important to the development of most cancers, are far from being the reasons for the growth of breast cancer, next closest thing to steroids. There are lots of other possible reasons for growth problems that we don't know about.
This is really just a list of causes that may affect a woman's ability to conceive. Some of these conditions, like cystic fibrosis, affect women more, some less. But the real reason that breast cancer develops in most women may be something else entirely, human growth hormone name0. | eng | 2a9a8aea-ad8c-4ea5-b02a-50018a033064 | https://www.myparentingisunique.com/forum/welcome-to-the-q-a-forum/human-growth-hormone-gland-next-closest-thing-to-steroids |

Meditation Simplified
Wondering how to calm your busy mind?
Do you think meditation is not for you or you don't have time to meditate? We sat down with Carl Klemme, from Glow Yoga in Basking Ridge, to talk about some of the misconceptions and benefits of a regular meditation practice. Carl has been practicing and teaching meditation and yoga for decades and is an authority in this area on the topic.
With summer in full swing, kids out of school, and just the all-around buzz of the season, we can use this momentum to redirect our efforts a bit and carve out some time to build a foundation for a healthy, simple meditation practice.
What about the science of meditation?
Dr. Frigerio regularly treats sympathetic (stress based) nervous system imbalances with herbs, acupuncture, and by encouraging patients to engage parasympathetic activities like meditation, yoga, and qigong. According to Psychology Today, meditation's benefits include increased grey matter (a major component of the central nervous system), increased immune function, and decreased anxiety and inflammation. Meditation can also increase your productivity and support a better social life by helping you regulate emotions, and becoming more compassionate.
Check out our video below and be sure to check out Carl's weekly meditation classes offered on Wednesday mornings and Friday nights at Glow Yoga! Thank you so much, Carl, for sharing your wisdom with us! | eng | 013b734a-47bd-47ee-bb2e-3c1b871a6be1 | https://www.njnaturalmedicine.com/journal/meditation/ |

British jobs for British workers stickers have been a controversial topic in the UK for several years. The stickers, which are often seen on the back of vans and lorries, have been used to convey a message of national pride and protectionism. However, they have also been criticised for being divisive and potentially discriminatory.
The use of these stickers became more prevalent in the wake of the 2008 financial crisis, which led to a rise in unemployment and a perception that jobs were being given to foreign workers instead of UK citizens. The slogan "British jobs for British workers" was first used by Gordon Brown, then Prime Minister, in 2007. The phrase was intended to convey the idea that the government would prioritise British workers when awarding contracts for public services.
However, the slogan was quickly adopted by far-right groups and anti-immigration campaigners, who used it to further their own agenda. The message became associated with xenophobia and hostility towards immigrants, particularly those from Eastern Europe.
The rise of the Brexit movement in the UK further fuelled the use of these stickers. The campaign to leave the European Union was based on the idea of taking back control of the country's borders and reducing immigration. The "British jobs for British workers" slogan resonated with many Leave voters, who felt that their job prospects were being undermined by the influx of foreign workers.
However, the use of these stickers has been criticised by many as being divisive and potentially discriminatory. The message implies that foreign workers are somehow taking jobs that should be reserved for British citizens, which is a simplistic and misleading view of the labour market. In reality, many industries rely heavily on migrant workers, who often perform jobs that UK citizens are unwilling or unable to do.
The stickers have also been criticised for reinforcing negative stereotypes and stoking tensions between different communities. The rise of hate crimes in the UK in recent years has been linked to anti-immigrant sentiment, and the use of slogans like "British jobs for British workers" can contribute to an atmosphere of intolerance and hostility towards foreigners.
There are also concerns that the use of these stickers could be illegal under UK law. Discrimination on the basis of nationality is prohibited by the Equality Act 2010, and employers are required to treat all workers fairly regardless of their nationality or immigration status. Using slogans that suggest a preference for British workers could be seen as discriminatory and could lead to legal action being taken against the employer.
Despite these concerns, the use of "British jobs for British workers" stickers remains popular in some circles. Supporters argue that the message is simply about promoting the interests of UK citizens and protecting their job opportunities. They point to the fact that many skilled and qualified British workers are struggling to find employment, while jobs are being given to foreign workers on lower wages.
However, this argument overlooks the fact that many migrant workers are highly skilled and qualified, and contribute significantly to the UK economy. They also often perform jobs that are essential to certain industries, such as healthcare, hospitality and agriculture.
The use of "British jobs for British workers" stickers is therefore a complex and divisive issue, with valid arguments on both sides. While it is important to promote the interests of UK citizens and ensure that they have access to job opportunities, this should not be done at the expense of other communities. The UK is a diverse and multicultural society, and should celebrate the contributions of all its citizens, regardless of their nationality or background.

From the Series "A Whole New World"
Prologue: Whispers of Silence
In a realm where magic flows through the spoken word, where every syllable carries power, silence is an anomaly. It is in this land, steeped in ancient traditions and mystical enchantments, that the tale of the Silent Omega begins.
Arkin, an Omega born without the gift of voice, lived a life on the fringes of society. He wandered the shadows, his voicelessness a heavy burden that isolated him from his fellow beings. Yet, destiny had chosen him for a purpose far greater than he could have ever imagined.
A prophecy, whispered in hushed tones by those who knew of its existence, foretold the rise of a Silent Omega. It spoke of a unique power, dormant within one who embraced the silence, capable of reshaping the very foundations of the realm. The Silent Omega would stand as a harbinger of change, challenging the established order and ushering in a new era.
Arkin, unaware of his significance, stumbled upon this ancient prophecy, tucked away in a long-forgotten tome. As he deciphered its cryptic verses, a flicker of hope ignited within him. He sensed a purpose, a destiny that beckoned him to step out of the shadows and into the light.
Driven by an insatiable curiosity and the desire to discover the truth behind his voicelessness, Arkin embarked on a perilous journey. Along the way, he encountered a band of unlikely allies, individuals bound by their own quests for redemption, belonging, and freedom. Together, they would unravel the secrets of the prophecy and confront the trials that awaited them.
In the realm they traversed, they encountered mythical creatures, faced treacherous landscapes, and wove their way through the intricate tapestry of political intrigue. Adversaries, both known and hidden, emerged to test their mettle. Yet, Arkin discovered that his voicelessness was not a weakness to be lamented but a strength to be embraced.
Guided by a wise sage who recognized the power that lay dormant within the silence, Arkin learned to wield the magic of stillness. In the absence of words, he discovered the ability to communicate with the world in profound ways. His silence became a shield, an instrument of influence, and a source of resilience that defied the expectations of a society governed by the spoken word.
As the journey continued, the threads of destiny wove their way tighter, drawing Arkin and his companions closer to their ultimate confrontation. They unraveled a conspiracy that threatened to plunge the realm into chaos and discovered the interconnectedness of their fates.
In a final, cataclysmic clash, Arkin stood against the forces that sought to extinguish hope and silence his newfound power. He embraced the strength within his voicelessness, harnessing the power of silence as a weapon of defiance. In the echoes of his silent proclamation, the realm trembled, and the fate of all hung in the balance.
The Silent Omega had awakened, and with it, a realization that true power resided not in the volume of one's voice, but in the depths of one's spirit. In this extraordinary journey of self-discovery, Arkin would redefine the nature of his existence, challenging the very fabric of a world that had underestimated the might of silence.
And so, as the winds carried the whispers of silence across the realm, the story of the Silent Omega began, beckoning readers to delve into a world where words hold power, silence speaks volumes, and destiny unfolds in the most unexpected of voices. | eng | 0805a222-ae73-4377-9b2d-c6b77deaa913 | https://www.getinkspired.com/fr/story/343880/the-silent-omega/ |

What is a Vector Field?
Vector Field
A vector field is a mathematical object that assigns a vector to each point in a given space, usually a Euclidean space like ℝ² or ℝ³. Vector fields are used to represent various physical quantities, such as velocity, force, or electric and magnetic fields, which have both magnitude and direction.
In a two-dimensional vector field, each point (x, y) in the plane is associated with a vector V(x, y) = P(x, y)i + Q(x, y)j, where P and Q are scalar functions of x and y, and i and j are the unit vectors in the x and y directions, respectively. In a three-dimensional vector field, each point (x, y, z) in space is associated with a vector V(x, y, z) = P(x, y, z)i + Q(x, y, z)j + R(x, y, z)k, where P, Q, and R are scalar functions of x, y, and z, and i, j, and k are the unit vectors in the x, y, and z directions, respectively.
Vector fields can be visualized using various graphical representations, such as arrow plots, streamlines, or contour plots. Vector calculus is the branch of mathematics that deals with vector fields and their properties. Some important concepts in vector calculus include the gradient, divergence, and curl of a Green's theorem, Stokes' theorem, and the divergence theorem.
Vector fields have numerous applications in physics, engineering, and other scientific disciplines where quantities with magnitude and direction need to be represented and analyzed. | eng | 151cac95-e247-481a-80c7-bc19f78af8b4 | https://goodmanprep.com/calculus-vector-field/ |
How does excessive CO2 concentration influence us?
November 4, 2022
We've already covered that good air quality, especially indoor air quality (IAQ), is crucial to our health and wellbeing. To better understand why it is important to keep the air fresh and measure CO2, let's talk about how CO2 influences the human body. Air pollution is worse indoors
Pollution, both indoors and outdoors, is a problem with serious consequences for people. It causes respiratory and other illnesses that sadly result in one in six deaths worldwide per year. 1,2
The air indoors is often significantly more polluted than outdoors. Because of our exposure to indoor air about 90% of the time, indoor air pollution poses a greater risk to our health – especially to more vulnerable groups of society like children, the elderly, and the chronically ill. Luckily, indoor air pollution is also something each of us can try to reduce. 3 To learn to keep the air clean, a key lesson you can learn is how CO2 influences the human body. The consequences of excessive CO2 in the air
Excessive concentration of CO2 (starting from approximately 1000 ppm) can have short- and long-term effects on our health. Here are the most common symptoms scientists associate with excessive CO2 in the air 4, 5, 6:
This might sound scary, but the good news is that this silent, invisible, odorless pollutant is something you can measure and reduce. As the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency notes, "Indoor air pollution is preventable." You can try doing this regularly or following your body's reactions. If you want to ensure you're doing it right though, a CO2 monitor is the way to go. Used by aerosol specialists, school districts, and offices all over the world, Aranet4 is the smart choice in indoor air quality monitoring. Get it now and start making more informed decisions about your indoor air quality! | eng | b46a33f4-b611-4e18-89f6-757bf472798b | https://aranet.com/blog/how-does-excessive-co2-concentration-influence-us/ |
A Purple Bacteria That Can Turn Your Poop Into Power
Thanks to a purple photosynthetic bacteria, we can convert our poopinto hydrogen and carbon energy sources.
In a research published in the journal Frontiers in Energy Research, a team of Spanish chemists figured out a way to hijack a bacterium's ability to turn light into energy — and use it to break down waste into useful fuels.
When the scientists stimulated the bacteria with a weak electric current, it sucked up the hydrogen from some fecal matter. It also extracted the carbon, preventing any greenhouse gas emissions and raising the possibility that the carbon could be used in various materials or other energy sources.
Though this particular study was merely designed to show that the process works, the researchers hope that this bioelectric process could be used to extract clean, usable fuel out of the wastewater treatment process instead of just wiping it all away.
Currently, waste water treatment plants typically dry out and dump human waste while freely burning off any gases they emit | eng | f7590ed7-de8d-4655-ae08-fe9400e4aedf | https://www.cleanfuture.co.in/2018/11/21/a-purple-bacteria-that-can-turn-your-poop-into-power/ |
In this post, we answer the question "What is the oldest betta fish?". We will also list and discuss some actions you can take to extend the life of your betta fish.
What is the Oldest Betta Fish?
The oldest betta fish is believed to live to be about 10 years old. However, there is no scientific record of the actual age of this betta fish.
How long do normal betta fish live?
There is currently no established method of extending a betta fish's lifespan. Betta fish, also known as hepatic lipidosis, are prone to fatty liver disease. There are several symptoms, including a pale look, rotting points, cloudy vision, skin rashes, and a lack of movement.
Providing clean, filtered water is an excellent method to avoid this situation. Maintain a routine for your betta fish's diet. No matter how nutritious your diet is, you should avoid eating too much or too little at any time of the day.
It takes an average of three years for a betta fish to reach maturity. However, with proper nutrition, plenty of clean water, and sanitary conditions, you can significantly extend the life of a betta fish. Still, a betta fish has a longer lifespan - it can live up to 5 years.
It is quite unusual for a betta fish to live more than 5 to 10 years. Betta fish can live up to 9 or 10 years in captivity under controlled environmental conditions and away from other species that are considered very long-lived.
How long do betta fish usually live in tanks?
Just because you can expect to keep your fish for three years doesn't mean you should buy your fish right away. Male Betta fish are usually not available for sale in pet stores until they are about a year old. This is the stage where their colors and ends have fully formed. Females are sold a little earlier than males, usually around 6 months of age.
While females tend to survive a few months longer than males, many prefer to keep males because of their beautiful colors. Since your fish is normally 6 months to 1 year old by the time you buy it, you can expect it to survive about two to two and a half years after purchase.
(Video) We Rescued This SAD Looking Betta 😢 #bettafish #aquarium
Bettas, on the other hand, can survive up to 4 or 5 years if provided with ideal tank conditions and properly cared for and fed (more on this later).
How long do betta fish live in their natural habitat?
Bettas are found in shallow freshwater environments such as ponds, streams, paddy fields and canals in the wild. Due to human introduction, they have spread to other regions including Singapore, Brazil and Malaysia, where they were previously only found in Cambodia and Thailand.
Betta Fish in the wild are believed to have a slightly shorter lifespan than those kept in captivity, according to many people. Due to the fact that the water they live in is not managed as carefully as the water in an aquarium, they can become contaminated, which can kill food sources and plants, significantly shortening the fish's lifespan.
Males in the wild are also more likely to be exposed to other males than to females. Siamese fighting fish are so named because they are extremely territorial and violent towards other fish that invade their territory.
Increased exposure to other evils increases their chance of fighting, increasing their chance of dying sooner.
How do you extend the life of your betta?
After understanding how long betta fish live in tanks and in the natural habitat, we can start thinking about how we do thatprolong their lives as long as possible. In reality, it's quite simple, and by following all the recommendations below, you'll increase their chances of living longer while improving the overall quality of their existence.
Make sure you buy a healthy betta
Buy your fish from a well-known retailer. Avoid buying fish that display any of the following characteristics - these characteristics may indicate that the fish has not been properly cared for, and as a result they may be stressed and less likely to live long.
Use a filter and a heater
It is a popular misconception that because Betta Fish live in the wild in rice paddies, they can tolerate unheated, dirty water. This is not true.
(Video) #Betta #Bettafish
Due to the environment in Thailand, the water in your tank will naturally heat up, making it necessary to install a heater in your tank as well. They are used to temperatures ranging from 75 to 80 degrees Fahrenheit.
It is also necessary to use a filter. They will not survive in water that is contaminated or unfiltered. A filter cleans the water by converting the ammonia and nitrite buildup into less dangerous molecules, and it also keeps the water aerated, which is important for swimming.
Even when using a filter, it is still necessary to change the water regularly to prevent nitrate build-up.
Use plants to provide oxygen
The last piece of advice we have for creating the greatest possible habitat for your Betta and, as a result, extending their lifespan is to incorporate plants into your aquarium design.
The benefits of keeping plants in your aquarium are not based on their nutritional value, as with other species. Since these fish are carnivorous, the nibble they get from the plant will be just that: a nibble.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs): What is the oldest betta fish?
How long can I leave a betta fish without food?
Betta fish can live without food for up to two weeks. If you are planning a trip, try to find someone who can keep up with the usual feeding schedule, or use an automatic fish feeder to keep up with the feeding schedule.
How long do betta fish survive in a small vase?
Keeping your Betta in a small vase will significantly shorten their life expectancy. We do not recommend this, betta fish housed in a bowl have an average lifespan of less than a year.
How Long Can Betta Fish Survive in a Gallon Aquarium?
A betta fish kept in a 1-gallon aquarium usually lives less than a year.
What is the age of the world's oldest betta fish?
Betta Fish have been known to live up to 10 years and have been bred in lab settings, but there is no evidence to support this claim at this time.
Can a betta fish survive seven years?
When provided with the right genetics, habitat, and care from the start of their lives, bettas can survive for up to 6 or 7 years or more. Several owners have even reported that their bettas are already nine or ten years old, although this is not practical for every betta.
Can a betta fish survive ten years?
The average lifespan of a betta is 3-5 years, but it's impossible to tell how old they are if you get them from a pet store. Some will survive much longer, while others will die much sooner, regardless of your efforts. It doesn't matter what kind of pet you have, some just aren't built to grow old no matter how well you care for them.
FAQs
They certainly don't have breeding and reproductive records like dogs. The vast majority of betta fish probably never see a veterinarian, either. So, there is no paper trail for any of the people who claim to have owned a betta fish for 10 years | eng | a9e9edfa-be52-4d38-bdac-dc8a1a36700b | https://chrocu.biz/article/what-is-the-oldest-betta-fish-pet-igloo |

Read through the main scriptures together from Sunday's message:
Colossians 1:15-20 –
15The Son is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn over all creation. 16For in him all things were created: things in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or powers or rulers or authorities; all things have been created through him and for him. 17He is before all things, and in him all things hold together. 18And he is the head of the body, the church; he is the beginning and the firstborn from among the dead, so that in everything he might have the supremacy.19For God was pleased to have all his fullness dwell in him, 20and through him to reconcile to himself all things, whether things on earth or things in heaven, by making peace through his blood, shed on the cross
Luke 11:42- CEV – You Pharisees are in for trouble! You give God a tenth of the spices from your gardens, such as mint and rue. But you cheat people, and you don't love God. You should be fair and kind to others and still give a tenth to God.
Matthew 6:32-33 – "These things (food, drink, clothes, time, acceptance, ambition and the basic needs of life) dominate the thoughts of unbelievers, but your heavenly Father already knows all your needs. Seek the Kingdom of God above all else (first), and live righteously, and he will give you everything you need."

Sports Therapy For Muscle And Joint Pain
What is Advance Muscle Integration Technique?
As muscles are overloaded beyond its capacity to perform, the central nervous system acts much like an electrical circuit breaker in a home. Muscles or muscle groups that could be torn or sustain an even greater injury are "shut down" or becomes inhibited by the nervous system to protect from further or more severe injury.
When the inhibited muscle is "loaded" again, it may be weak and not able to sustain the force being applied. As this continues, the body sends out pain signals as another way to protect the body. Inflammation occurs and possibly swelling along with the pain. Any muscle that attaches or crosses over a joint may be less functional or have a limited range of motion.
The central nervous system then begins a strategy to adapt and recruit other muscles and muscle groups to take on greater loads, a compensatory process. This can lead to more or recurring injuries and pain placing even greater stress on ligaments and tissues, beginning a viscous cycle that can lead to chronic pain, reduced function, and degenerative changes in the body.
Advanced Muscle Integration Technique or The AMIT Method, is an advanced healing technique, testing over 600 muscles using an objective and precise neurological technique to determine which particular muscle or muscle group has been inhibited. Dr. Craig Buhler developed this technique over a 26 year period with the Utah Jazz based on the work of Dr. Alan Beardall. Dr. Beardall was one of the original Diplomats in The International College of Applied Kinesiology and was a nationally ranked distance runner. Presented with many difficult and chronic athletic injuries, he developed what was known as Clinical Kinesiology or CK.
To learn more about The Advanced Muscle Integration Technique, call 480-325-6977 to attend one of our Health Workshops or to schedule a free consultation with Certified AMIT practitioner, trained by Dr. Buher, and Board Certified Atlas Orthogonalupper cervical specialist, Dr. Keith Lavender.

Ep. 12 – Fear
Today we talk about fear and why it holds us back from making decisions.
No one goes into a marriage thinking they will get divorced but sometimes people grow apart or make choices the marriage can't overcome.
If we don't change our thought patterns and let fear control our decisions, we can't create the life we want.
Join me as we dive into fear and explore those emotions deeper, understand them, and hopefully learn from them so we can keep moving towards happiness!
Transcript
Hello, my beautiful friends. I'm really happy that you're here today. I'm going to be speaking to you today about fear. What they say is fault. Evidence appearing real, you know, I'm always inspired by topics of episodes from things that are going on with my life, people around me, clients, my children.
whatever might be happening. So I know someone who mentioned to me that her friend knows she wants to get divorced. She made up her mind, but she isn't taking the next step to start the process. So I speculate that she's dealing with fear. So I thought this will be a great episode. So here we go now. I'm. Expertise and my own personal experiences to help you turn a difficult time into your amazing divorce, whether you are thinking about divorce in the middle of a divorce or your divorce is over, or maybe you're happy in a marriage, or you're not even married at all.
Issue, this topic of fear is relevant to all of us. You know, what's interesting about fear and about overcoming fear is that it is one of those things that most of us don't like to address and talk about. No one likes to admit that they are afraid of something when faced with fear. Most of us are like, well, I'm just so afraid.
I am just gonna avoid it. Like the person who knows she wants out of her marriage, but is in fear of getting divorced because of all likely the horror stories that she's heard, the unknown that she has to deal with. And more the thought of going through a divorce in itself and of itself is scary. I get that.
I don't think there is anyone that goes through a divorce that doesn't encounter fear many times along the way, fear of telling your spouse, you want a divorce fear of not knowing what your spouse reaction will be fear of how it will affect the child, the children, fear of how things will work out for you.
Financially, fear of how long it will take fear of hiring a lawyer, fear of being alone and starting over. again. No one wants to get divorced. No one goes into marriage thinking they will divorce. but sometimes life just works out that way. People grow apart. People make choices that the marriage can't overcome like an affair or abuse.
People just decide that they are better off going their separate ways. There are many reasons people get divorced and sometimes you are not the one that even. The divorce fear is just part of the process of divorce and the fear can, and likely will continue well after the divorce decre, a sign by the court.
The question is my friend, what you do with the fear? How do you handle it? Do you ignore it? Do you buffer it away? Do you get angry about it or are you able to confront it and move through it? That's what we're discussing. You see fear should never be a valid reason to give up and not move forward with what you know you want or have to do.
Imagine if we all just lived in a world in which we didn't confront our fears, no one would ever get ahead, create a business, go to school, run a marathon, say yes to a proposal. Or get divorced. We would instead just stay nice and safe and comfy in our home, watching Netflix, drinking Chardonnay and eating chocolate.
or whatever your choice of food is, you know, fear when you study it and understand it boils down to just being an inability to manage your mind and thoughts correctly, that's it. But once you know that the beauty is that you have the choice to recognize it, and then you can make a decision to overcome it by changing your thoughts about.
Because when you deal with your fears and you're able to get past them, you have the ability to create a much better life, a meaningful existence, and do things that you want for yourself. You can push yourself and create a life. You're proud of. Remember my friend that this is not a dress rehearsal life.
We have one life here, one planet earth. So let's make it the best we can deal. Have you ever heard the expression honor? Your fear? That doesn't really mean anything though. Unless you strip it down. I suggest that we start with feeling your fear. You are like, what do you mean Doreen, feeling your fear?
Throughout my years, as a family lawyer, I've consulted with so many people that wanna know their legal rights and what they can expect and how to get through the divorce process. You know, I have this one gentleman who's in his eighties now, and he has been consulting with me about six years or so. He complains about the same issues in his marriage over and.
He starts to get the strength to get out. And then he has this overwhelming fear of what the divorce will look like, fear that he is older and will be alone and on and on. He's unable to control his thoughts. His thoughts instead are controlling him and his inability to get out of a bad marriage. He gets some movement forward, starts facing his fears and then his thoughts take over and he becomes literally paralyzed with the.
Six years later, this is a cycle. Life is passing him by. He stays in a bad unhappy marriage because he's unable to work through his thoughts about fear. What I've realized is that there are many people that went out of their marriage. They come and consult with me only to be in so much fear of taking the next.
that they decide to stay. And this means staying unhappy, staying in a bad marriage, coming up with the excuses and thoughts as to why they should not leave never, or I should say rarely is there admission of being. Afraid. Let me say that I am the first one to say that, trying to make your marriage work is admirable and should be explored.
But many times it is just time to move on and fear should not stop one's ability to do that. It's fine to be afraid of making the wrong decision in a failure, but you're going to need to face your fears. Head on. If you want change, it just comes with a territory. And what we need to do is just accept that fear is just going to be there.
And in spite of that feeling of fear, take action. Anyhow, you see, as humans, we are wired to avoid pain and fear. Is painful fear is one of those instincts and feelings that protects us. It is there for survival, right here are afraid of things. So you avoid things that can hurt you and mostly hurt you physically.
But you have to know the difference between a fear that something for example is physically D. Versus a fear of taking action to make movement towards a better life. So for me, I have a fear of Heights and this is a big challenge for me when I'm hiking, like somewhere in the mountains like Colorado. I know that usually if I'm somewhere where there's mountains, unlike here in Florida, where I'm safe from mountains, that if I wanna go for a hike, I will likely encounter an edge.
And I'll be high up and the fear just goes with it, but this fear is a good fear as it helpsss me to know that I have to be careful that I have to proceed my climb with caution on where I place my footing. So I don't go over the edge and hurt myself or die. You know, so that fear can serve you well in protecting you from like physical harm to yourself.
What you need to learn is a difference of the fear that protects you and a fear of something unknown or uncomfortable, like taking the next step to getting divorced. If that is what you've decided is best for you, but just a word of caution, don't get stuck in. How do I know that the decision is right?
Because that's just fear giving you an excuse, right? Fear of the unknown. How would you know. Well, we're not gonna know what we don't know if we haven't tried. Right. So the first thing is just to accept that the fear will always be with us. It is part of life. And so you can accept that it's a starting point to dealing with it.
This includes irrational fear. The next thing is the thought that fear does not mean stop. I want to emphasize that for you, please. you can be afraid and you can still move forward and take action. In fact, sometimes taking action while you are acknowledging your fear is one of the most powerful things that you can do.
next. You have to realize that fears usually result of our thoughts about something that hasn't even taken play yet. So take a minute and think about that. Unlike when I'm walking on an edge of a mountain, taking a hike and I can look. Down and see that if I don't place my foot, right. I could likely fall off the mountain.
Most fear that we deal with, especially in deciding to stay or get out of a marriage is the fear of the unknown, the fear of something that hasn't even taken place yet. A lot of what if. You know, the exception to fear is always the fight or flight response to something like when someone is hiding and scares you, your brain doesn't have time to think about what's going on.
It just goes into, let's get out of here mode. Your adrenaline takes over revs up and tells you to run. This is a good fear as your body is telling you to take action as something is wrong. the fear I'm speaking about is the fear you feel when you are sitting safely in your home and you are contemplating something that you want to do, like moving forward with a divorce, maybe even the fears, like going to a party and mingling or starting a new career.
You know, these are just a few examples of situations that we are thinking about that fear. Takes over and paralyzes us from moving forward. It paralyzes us from reaching our. That's where not learning to overcome. Your fear does not serve you. That's when fear shouldn't be an excuse not to take action to a better life.
I don't want you to honor that kind of fear. I don't want you to cuddle. Up with that fear. I don't want you to spend a lot of time in that fear. I want you to understand it enough so you can realize what it is, find its cause work on your thoughts around it. And then in spite of being afraid, you take action.
Anyhow, some fears I understand. Take time to overcome so you can take. Steps and work through the thought that is usually because of the unknown and how your thought of how bad it might be replaced with the thought of how wonderful it could be. That is some work you can do. Write it down, write down all your fears, write down the good and the.
Put it into a piece of paper and put a line down it. Good, bad. If I do this, here's the bad. Here's the good, don't let your brain take you to only the bad part. Don't let your brain play tricks on you because your brain wants you to take the easy way out to stay on the road of least resistance and understand that this is what our brain does for us.
It is built that way, but as the humans, we have the ability to be rational and to think through things and make a decision. To take action. When you take action, in spite of fear, you will see that it isn't that bad, that the fear is truly irrational and you could prove the fear wrong and truth. Be told you're going to be fine.
You take each step and then you move forward again. And you just keep moving. The more you expose yourself to your fears, the more you. But it's okay. When a was a new lawyer, what they referred to as a baby lawyer, some 25 years ago. Right. I had this tremendous fear of having to speak before the court and argue my case.
I used to have such anxiety. I wouldn't sleep the night before having to go to court. I would be shaking. I would be sweaty. And in spite of this fear, I forced myself to do it time. And. Time. And again, and now arguing my case in court is like second nature to me. I enjoy it so much. I even became board certified in trial family work when I was a young lawyer and I was dealing with my fear of going to court.
I would write down all the worst things that could happen. Things like I could forget my words or someone could laugh at me. And then I would take the thought through to like, well, if I forgot my words, I'm not in harm's way. I'm not going to die from that. The worst thing that can happen is I'll get embarrassed.
I might get a red face and maybe someone could laugh at me. And then I would think to myself, you know what, Doreen, I can deal with this. So let's talk about your fears. What are they, are you afraid of starting the divorce or maybe it's being a single parent or how you're going to make ends meet or being alone or meeting people for?
We did the exercise of writing down all the good things that could happen and all the bad things that can happen. . I want you to pick up that list again and look at all the bad things that could happen that you wrote down. I want you to look at it from a more rational approach and really think to yourself and ask yourself what is the very worst thing that can happen if that thing happens?
Your fear is likely not a matter of life or death. It has nothing to do with whether you're going to survive or not. You know, what we're usually afraid of is a feeling of, of what might happen. Something we don't even know. It is the fear of the unknown. So the trick here, my friend is to think it through taking action while you're still in fear is actually a skill that you can develop.
It's just learning to get past your immediate reaction to avoid, to run, to hide. But what I want you to know, and to take a moment and realize is that you are not in any danger, you will be okay. My. if I didn't overcome my fear of speaking in a courtroom, I would've never become a successful trial lawyer.
Even doing this podcast. I was in fear, fear that I would be criticized and on, but I pushed myself past that fear as it was important for me, for my life's work to get back to those going through divorce. And so here I am with you, my friend, as a result of moving forward, taking action to create this podcast.
In spite of the fear I was dealing with, when I have asked clients, you know, I'll ask them from time to time, what they are afraid of, why they're not taking action. When I know that they have made up their mind to get divorce, many times, they don't know, they cannot articulate. When fear comes up for you, you can make a decision on what you want to do with it.
You can decide, are you going to hide and avoid, or are you going to take action in spite of your fear, knowing that the worst thing that can happen is really just a feeling and a feeling will not hurt you physically. It may be like an increased heartbeat or getting sweaty, or maybe your body tightens.
But really that's not such a big deal, is it? It will pass for those of you that might be afraid about getting divorced and are unhappy and miserable. I wanna ask you this. If you were uncomfortable and miserable in a bad marriage, why wouldn't you just, instead, at least be uncomfortable and maybe even miserable at times, moving.
Forward to getting out of the marriage, you know, have you ever had a situation which we all have that you push yourself to do something you're afraid of and then you finish it and you're like, well, you know what? That really wasn't so bad. What was all this worry I had, you got yourself all worked out only to find out that you survived and that it wasn't bad at all.
And maybe. even that it was great or fun or good or exciting. And you loved something that you never would've tried. when I was a child, I had this tremendous fear of needles. Every time I would have to go to the doctor, I would work myself into such a frenzy. I would literally get physically sick over the thought of getting a, a shot I would tense up so badly.
And then when the shot was over, I would be like, well, it didn't feel good. But it wasn't as bad as all that time and energy. I spent working myself up about it. The fear of getting the shot was worse than the actual needle itself. The fear of the pain is actually worse than the pain itself. So the fear of feeling the emotion is sometimes so much worse than the emotion itself.
So we hold ourselves back from being alive from going towards what we want, because we're afraid of how it might. And I use that word strongly might feel, just notice that my friend in your own life, what are the fears in your life that are holding you back? Be real with yourself about this? What is the worst thing?
My friend that will happen to you? If you face your fear, I would also suggest that the worst thing that could happen to you is what your life could have been. Now. Listen, what your life could have been. Would be, and should have been if you only took the chance, faced your fear and did it anyhow, but if you didn't do it to me, my friend that's would be the biggest shame you didn't get to that place that you could have gotten to.
And it just didn't happen because you didn't take the step to get there. So think about. , that's why I want you to write things down and all the reasons you're afraid. It's a great tool in revealing your mind to you. And so you can see what is going on in there, meaning your mind and that you may not even be aware of.
Then from there, you can start to change it. Start to move forward, start to rationalize it. The truth is fear is not a big deal. It's just a vibration in your. and honestly, I believe that overcoming fear is where all the greatness in life comes from. When I look at my own life, I know that overcoming my own fear is what has made me, who I am today.
Propelled me forward to some great accomplishments, like leaving my home with $50 when I was a very young girl. And becoming a lawyer and then owning my own law firms and then a second firm and becoming a life coach and remarrying and this podcast and your true greatness. My friend is on the other side of fear.
Some of you know, you are being held back by it. Others of you may be thinking, Hey, I don't think it's fear. That's holding me back. Doreen, you may be thinking that your issue is that I don't know what I want in my life. For example, I can't make a decision. I don't know what I wanna do to these people, whoever you are.
I wanna gently say that living in confusion is just an excuse and a way to justify in your. To avoid fear. Think about that. Some of us are really good at living in confusion. If that is you, then you have to look at this as well. It is easy. It's really easy to tell ourself that we're confused or we don't know, or we can't make a decision.
As long as we're saying that, then we have an excuse not to move forward. You can't my friends avoid fear. You can't avoid fear and get anywhere. You have to go straight through it to the other side. Sorry. As there's just no easy way around it. You can't go around it or under it or pretend it isn't there.
You can't get there by saying that you don't know what to do. You see? The reason we say we don't know is because we are in fear of making the wrong decision. Just another fear. Remember that whatever your fear is or fears are that you're dealing with, they're not going to hurt you. You will survive. You will be okay.
It just takes doing it over and over again to get past it. If you look at any well known successful person that you admire, look up their backstory. I bet that he or she likely had to overcome a lot of adversity go through and deal with a lot of fears to get where he or she is today. The truth is we all have fears.
I think that's kind of reassuring, so no that you are human and go for it any way. My friend listen, create the life you want. As you have the power, it's all within you. And yes, you can. All right. My beautiful friends have a most amazing week until next time. Love yourself and take care. And until next time, have an amazing rest of the day.

What Happens If You Have No Photo ID For Solicitor Checks?
06/09/2022
Written by: Ieuan Leigh
Introduction
You would have had to prove your identity if you had previously used the services of a regulated business, such as a solicitor, real estate agent or any legal service or practice. This would have been done in the form of you supplying a photo ID like a passport or a driving licence. But what happens if you have no photo ID for solicitor checks? We review all things client onboarding here.
This is done as part of the Know Your Client (KYC) and the Anti Money-Laundering (AML) process to identify and prevent financial crime. Solicitors have a legal obligation to conduct these checks as they could unintentionally aid in financial crime, which could be the funding of terrorism in some cases. If a collector or a regulated business fails to follow this practice, they are in serious breach of professional conduct outlined by the Solicitors RegulationAuthority.
Financial Crime
Financial crime is a category given an extensive range of criminal activity ranging from theft to fraud on any scale, from individuals acting alone to large organisations. Financial crime covers the following:
Money Laundering
Fraud / Identity Theft
Terrorist Financing
Inside Trading
Bribery and Corruption
Cybercrime
Financial crime is a significant concern to governments and other institutes globally. In the effort to protect the integrity of the international monetary system, stopping the flow of money available makes it more difficult and, in some instances, impossible to benefit from criminal activity, money laundering and terrorist activity.
For these reasons, solicitors and regulated businesses must verify the identities of the clients they work with as part of the fight against financial crime. This gives governments, companies and institutes the means to react and prevent criminals from money laundering and profiting from criminal activity.
What documents would a solicitor ask you to provide?
In all cases, a solicitor would need to verify your identity and address, commonly through you providing documents showing evidence that you are whom you say you are and your home address. Usually, this is a driver's licence, a passport, a bank statement no older than three months, or a council letter.
Some solicitors will use legal tech and online services to help collect and verify the documents you provide. You can read more about how someone's identity is verified here.
We at Validient offer these services to solicitors and regulated businesses, offering an easy-to-use and compliant service that collects your documents, confirms your identity and notifies your solicitors, reducing the time this process takes manually from days to hours, all while offering excellent user experience for clients.
You can read more about how to verify the legitimacy of a photo ID here. We also cater to those clients who don't have photographic IDs and are still seeking legal advice.
Liveness Detection
As an added level of security and certainty, individuals are often asked to perform liveness checks in addition to Identity documents. Liveness Detection is the process of using technology to detect and verify an image of a biometric sample, in this instance, a person's face.
Then using liveness detection algorithms, artificial intelligence and the same technology as face recognition that analyse what has been collected, it can determine if the image is a genuine person or a real person.
This image can then be compared to an image supplied from a driving licence or passport and determine if there is a match. Liveness Detection can be used not only for authentication but also to prove identity.
What happens if you have no photo ID for solicitor checks?
There are instances where a client's identity will need to be verified when they don't have a driver's licence or passport. Although ascertaining a client's identity is a little more challenging, it can still be done with a valid and official birth certificate and a national insurance number. As there is no photographic way to identify a client, additional checks might be needed. Checks like proof of income or funds can be carried out as part of the Anti Money-Laundering (AML) checks, adding a layer of due diligence.
Validient offers a service where we can confidently verify the identity of individuals, domestic and commercial, using not only photographic Identification but also other means such as a birth certificate and also liveness checks. Automating the process is not only safer and more accurate but also saves time and reduces the cost of doing it manually | eng | 6e470d89-4ef4-4853-86b7-85a7236528d3 | https://validient.com/aml/no-photo-id-for-solicitor-checks/ |
Chocolate Companies: Standing Against Deforestation
This was posted more than 12 months ago. The information may be outdated.
Chocolate: a highly sought-after, delectable good. Some even jokingly call it a "sin," for its appeal had led astray many into the realm of gluttony. But we think there's a bigger sin at play than just indulging in endless bars of chocolate. And that's the number of forests that are destroyed and cleared in order to harvest cocoa crops.
The cocoa industry has recently been identified as a source of rainforest destruction. Forests have been completely cut down and cleared in order to plant a complete monoculture cocoa trees, all to be harvested and sold for profit. It's a problem that is contributing to the overall destruction of natural forests and habitats, all for the sake of profit.
Changes need to happen. And slowly, they are. Recently, 12 of the largest chocolate makers have joined Prince Charles' pledge to end deforestation in the cocoa industry. Some of these companies include big names like Nestle, Mars and Ferrero. It's definitely a good step towards becoming more environmentally aware of the economy's actions on the environment, and we can only hope the actions of these brand-name companies will inspire others to do the same to stop deforestation | eng | c5fcb3d9-b228-4fa5-9ba2-1ac5d7e0f542 | https://www.ecologyottawa.ca/2017-08-14-chocolate-companies-standing-against-deforestation |
Sample Condolence Email to Colleague: Expressing Sympathy and Support
Losing a loved one is undoubtedly one of the most challenging things we have to face in life. It can feel overwhelming to navigate our personal grief while trying to uphold our professional obligations, especially when one of those includes reaching out to offer condolences to a colleague who has also experienced loss. Crafting a thoughtful and empathetic condolence email sample to colleague can make a world of difference during this difficult time. As you'll see in the examples provided, taking a moment to acknowledge the pain and offer support can provide comfort and solace to a grieving colleague.

Whether you're struggling to find the right words or simply looking for some guidance, these condolence email samples can help you offer support and show your colleague that they aren't alone.
The Best Structure for a Condolence Email to a Colleague
Condolence emails are necessary when a colleague suffers a loss. However, it can be challenging to find the right words to convey your sympathies and support. The structure of a condolence email is crucial because it ensures that you express your condolences effectively and appropriately. In this article, we will discuss the best structure for a condolence email that you can use to comfort a colleague during a difficult time.
Begin by expressing your condolences. Start the email with a heartfelt message of sorrow and sympathy towards the loss of their loved one. It is essential to be sincere, and so it is best always to start with the most important message.
In the second paragraph, you could share a memorable story or moment you had with the deceased. It will show that you empathize with the pain of the bereaved and will facilitate the healing process. However, do not use this opportunity to overshare personal stories that can appear insensitive, trivial, or distract from the message of offering prayers and support.
If you can, it is also a good time to offer practical help. You could consider easing their workload, offer to run errands, or support a crowdfunding campaign for funeral expenses. Or, merely being there to talk through things with them to hear how they are feeling.
Close your email with a positive message offering support and any help they might need, whenever they feel ready to reach out. For example, you could end your email by saying, "Please take care of yourself, and feel free to reach out to me any time, day or night, with anything that you need."
Finally, sign off the email with your name and contact details to ensure they can reach you anytime they feel like it and ask you for any support.
To conclude, remember a condolence email should convey sincere empathy, reassure the bereaved that they have support, and avoid being insensitive to their grief. By following the structure we have outlined, you can write a condolence email that provides comfort during this challenging period.

Tips for Writing a Condolence Email to a Colleague
Writing a condolence email to a colleague can be a challenging and delicate task. You want to offer comfort and support, but you also want to respect their privacy and personal space. Here are some tips to help you craft a thoughtful and appropriate message:
Begin by expressing your sympathy and acknowledging their loss. Use simple and sincere language to show that you care.
Avoid clichéd phrases or platitudes that may come across as insincere or dismissive. Stick to your own words and emotions.
If you knew the deceased, you can include a brief memory or anecdote to show that you share in their grief.
Offer practical help if you can, such as covering some of their work duties or bringing them food. But don't pressure them to accept your offer if they prefer to cope alone.
If you're not sure what to say or how to say it, keep it brief and to the point. A simple message of support and sympathy can be more effective than a long and convoluted one.
Avoid making assumptions about their beliefs or coping strategies, unless you have concrete evidence or they have shared it with you. For example, don't say "they're in a better place now" if you don't know their religious or spiritual views.
If you're in a position of authority, such as a manager or supervisor, be mindful of their need for space and privacy. Don't expect them to return to work or full productivity immediately.
End with a final message of support and offer to help or listen if they need anything. Let them know that they're not alone in their grief.
Ultimately, the key to writing a successful condolence email to a colleague is empathy and sincerity. Put yourself in their shoes and imagine how you would want to be treated in a similar situation. By offering genuine support and understanding, you can help them navigate this difficult time with grace and dignity.

How to Grow Phegopteris
Phegopteris–commonly called beech fern–is a genus of deciduous terrestrial ferns that are found in damp soil on shady banks and rocks in areas of high rainfall in the Northern Hemisphere. Phegopteris are cultivated in gardens in deep shady areas with damp soil.
The genus Phegopteris is synonymous with the genus Thelypteris. Thelypteris is one of the largest genera of ferns, comprising nearly a thousand species native to tropical and subtropical wet forests. A few species are found in temperate regions, including the three species of Phegopteris listed below. | eng | 8da88b2c-a7db-4794-b5f3-82ccf0dd731d | https://gardenchronicle.com/how-to-grow-phegopteris/ |

Trump's Approval Numbers not Very Approving
Donald Trump will become president Friday with an approval rating of just 40%, according to a new CNN/ORC Poll, the lowest of any recent president and 44 points below that of President Barack Obama, the 44th president.
Following a tumultuous transition period, approval ratings for Trump's handling of the transition are more than 20 points below those for any of his three most recent predecessors. Obama took the oath in 2009 with an 84% approval rating, 67% approved of Clinton's transition as of late December 1992 and 61% approved of George W. Bush's transition just before he took office in January 2001.
Trump's wobbly handling of the presidential transition has left most Americans with growing doubts that the President-elect will be able to handle the job. About 53% say Trump's statements and actions since Election Day have made them less confident in his ability to handle the presidency, and the public is split evenly on whether Trump will be a good or poor president (48% on each side).
I think numbers such as this have to be taken into account when assessing exactly what the Trump victory may or may not mean about the state of the US population. These numbers show polarization (he is not getting the benefit of the doubt from a chunk of opposition voters that most incoming president, even Bush in 2001, received). They also show that some of his own co-partisans are not on board.
For those of us who criticize the electoral college, this is further evidence of the deep flaws exposed in that institution exposed by the 2016 election. It has produced an incoming president who does not even command 50% approval the week he is to be sworn in. Given that he hasn't done any actual governing yet, he should be at the height of his popularity, since he technically hasn't had the chance to do anything to start losing the goodwill of the public as yet.
I think, too, it may be that some persons who incorrectly believed Trump would start acting more presidential once elected are learning how wrong they were to harbor such false hopesIt's fascinating to see how quickly buyer's remorse has set in. He's getting nothing from Democrats, nothing from Independents, and even Republicans aren't so sure. Given the extreme polarization his inability to generate confidence even among his own voters is astonishing.
Good. It's very sad but in this case I think the patriotic position is to hope that Trump remains weak. Never thought I could feel that way about any president, but then I never thought 46% of the country was stupid enough to elect an orangutan.
Republicans:
"Yes Michael, but really, who cares besides Democrats? We control the Senate, the House, and soon enough, the Supreme Court. We're going to do as we please no matter how Trump is perceived. Besides, do you really want a President Mike Pence? I didn't think so."
The corollary to this is that he enters office with unusually low expectations, and I'm sure it won't be long before we're seeing columns saying things like "So he didn't bring in the gulags or start a nuclear war after all. Greatestest president ever!"
He's getting nothing from Democrats, nothing from Independents, and even Republicans aren't so sure.
Republicans are racing to accomplish long-held goals (repealing ACA) during the honeymoon period, mostly because they know that after the honeymoon period, Trump is going to be very hard to work with.
I don't expect (most) Republicans to turn into Putin-loving autocrats. Some of my right-leaning Facebook friends have been posting pro-Putin, pro-Russia stuff, and it's been heartening to see how quickly and forcefully they've been challenged by their fellow partisans.
You're joking, but you're probably right – the claims that he's going to be Hitler 2.0 are going to work in his favor. He's almost certainly going to be a terrible President, but the chances are he's not going to be as bad as the worst doom sayers are predicting (not only do the mechanisms of government not allow it, but he doesn't have anywhere near the focus and discipline that Hitler had, and probably not the intelligence either) – and many are going to look at the results, see they're not as bad as predicted, and from there go on to "well, he's not so bad after all", even if he turns out to be (as likely) the worst President in American history.
@al-Alameda: I have to admit that Pence is looking better as the transition stumbles on. Pence would be fatal for the economy, the environment, and reproductive rights. But he's probably not bending over for Putin. And being severely over-churched is less severe than the bag of personality and cognitive disorders Trump brings to the table. Pence can, at least, construct an English declarative sentence, even if the content is stupid.
About 53% say Trump's statements and actions since Election Day have made them less confident in his ability to handle the presidency,
Was there a followup question asked for this one, asking just what they expected from him? The corruption, incompetence and bluster which he has displayed throughout the transition period did not come from out of the blue the morning of November 9th. How on earth could people be surprised?!?!?!?
The electorate being the box of rocks they are, I seriously doubt the average poll respondent actually has a clue what's going on with the transition. How many do you think could correctly answer, "What post is Rex Tillerson nominated for?" The low approval is, IIRC, not much lower than in late Oct, and is driven more by the Russian reveals than anything in the transition.
If he screws up big time and there are a series of scandals (both probable), his approval will stay down. Otherwise the supposedly liberal MSM will normalize him and the Mighty Right Wing Wurlitzer will boost him.
Given that he hasn't done any actual governing yet, he should be at the height of his popularity, since he technically hasn't had the chance to do anything to start losing the goodwill of the public as yet.
He is advanced. He is such a great President that he has finished his honeymoon period before even taking office.
@gVOR08: I agree, to a point. With a Pence Presidency we would still want all of the questions of Russian involvement with the campaign answered, and the question of what did Pence know and when did he know it would hang over him.
He wouldn't be a good President. He would even be a bad President. But, he would probably be an American President.
Someone had the great idea that Obama should resign on his next to last day, which would make Biden President for a day.
Brilliant. Best thing that could come from this past election.
I wish it would happen.
@gVOR08: Even allowing that apples don't fall far from trees, this assertion seems a stretch. What evidence is there that Ivanka is some sort of megalomaniac like her father? As for Kushner, according to HL92 he's hampered with the same intellectual shortcomings as Trump without the drive to bull past them. He's there for the graft and because Ivanka either wants to live near her dad or needs to–and I don't want to entertain any thoughts about what that would be about.
Pence would be a terrible President, but infinitely preferable to Trump. It is anathema on the inter-tubes to compare anyone to Hitler, but Trump is very comparable to Hitler as Chancellor in January of 1933. Remember, Hitler was legally installed, but then immediately started making appointments and assuming governmental powers that destroyed the ability of the government to oppose him. When people talk about the US "System" blocking Trump's worst excesses, there are two things that are already apparent: 1) The "system" is led by department heads that will be appointed by Trump and Trumps lackeys, or in the case of people like Tillerson, chosen by enemies of the US. Trump will have the ability to overthrow any bureaucratic opposition, or at least throwing those agencies into such confusion they won't be able to stop him when he acts extra-legally. 2) The Republican Party controls the entire Congress (and will very quickly control the Supreme Court) and they have shown they are completely incapable of serving as the firewall against Trump. Remember, the President controls the entire executive branch, and the only thing that prevents him from ignoring Congress is the threat of impeachment. The Republicans are incapable of that and the Democrats can't do it alone.
I know that this sounds over the top, and I hope to God I am proven wrong. But since grade school when I first learned about what the Nazis did I have asked myself, "Why couldn't rational, decent people recognize what was happening and stop it?" One conclusion is that most people don't have the ability to recognize when something is different as a matter of kind rather than as a matter of degree. The US has never given such power to someone like Trump before and it is already obvious that too much hope is being put into the idea that our institutions will be able to operate normally. They will not.
Here's what would disprove this scenario: If Trump's Attorney General's officials chases down corruption in the Trump administration. If Congress investigates such corruption. If senior Trump Administration officials are removed from office. If Congress investigates Trumps ties to Russia. If Trump is unable to fire or sideline the career people in State, Finance, Legal and Intelligence and they are able to block his excesses. If Trump doesn't start a war in order to divert attention from what he is doing, a war that may very well be a nuclear one.
Here's the early warning signs that this is what is coming to pass: Trump appoints the worst and most corrupt officials in all positions in government (check). The Republican Congress holds no meaningful investigations (this seems apparent already). If the Trump appointees are able to sideline, fire or destroy career officials to keep them from blocking him. If he assumes powers and acts on them before or even after courts rule that he has overstepped, or more generally, if he ignores laws or judicial rulings, claiming that they don't apply to him as president. And worst of all, if he starts a war, or launches a nuclear attack in order to create a sense of crisis and assume war powers.
@george: I wasn't joking really, just engaging in a little hyperbole for rhetorical effect (something I have a habit of doing).
The absurd lowering of expectations is something that goes back at least to W. and was used with Sarah Palin when she ran for vp, before being applied to Trump.
When it comes to Trump, the working theory I've had for a while now (and I've expressed it here repeatedly) is that it's all about timing. He was probably always going to outperform the polls, but if the election had been held a week after the release of the Access Hollywood tape or his fight with the Khans, he'd probably have lost. On the other hand, I bet he'd have won if it had been that period right before the debates after the pneumonia incident. The basic pattern I saw all year was that the polls would swing toward Hillary whenever he was the target of negative coverage and away from her whenever she was. The conventional notion that he was somehow immune to negative media attention or even benefited from it was never quite right. The evidence suggests he's damaged by this stuff–but it's always temporary damage, like in a children's cartoon.
Also, I truly don't think the media is prepared to deal with his level of brazen dishonesty. All politicians lie, but Trump has pioneered something I call a "sky is red" lie, where he states something plainly and squarely false–no lawyerly semantic games, no rhetorical tricks–and says it with utter confidence. Like the time he denied reports that Trump Steaks were defunct by holding up a steak bearing the label of a different company, or when he claimed to have scored one of the largest electoral victories in history, or his recent statements about how he's going to replace Obamacare with a plan that leaves no one without coverage. It is in fact totally plausible that tomorrow he'll claim with a straight face never to have committed adultery or suffered bankruptcy. It wouldn't be one whit less ridiculous than things he has already said.
Indeed, that Hillary lie everyone always talks about–her claiming to have been under sniper fire in Bosnia–is an excellent example of the difference between Trump dishonesty and more standard lies coming from politicians. After she was caught lying about this claim, she apologized and never brought it up again. If Trump had been caught falsely making such a claim about himself, he'd have doubled down and insisted it was absolutely true and continued to mention it at every opportunity, and all his surrogates on Fox and CNN and everywhere else would be defending it.
There simply is no precedent for this, and it's a real open question how the media will react. No matter what he does while in office, what policies he tries to implement, he and all his surrogates will be out there on TV and Twitter loudly and confidently proclaiming to be doing something entirely different and boasting about how awesomely successful he has been and how he has utterly crushed all the naysayers.
I'm not saying this will necessarily work. But there's no longer any question that he has benefited from being underestimated, and when I hear all this cluck-clucking about how he's inevitably going to screw up (politically, I mean; he's virtually certain to be a disaster substantively), I fear I'm hearing the same sort of complacency that helped get him to this point in the first place.
I hate Pence's positions, and he appears to pathological in his hatred of gays, but I'll still take him over Trump. I think four years of Trump and most of our allies will defect to a less threatening superpower, namely China. They already appear more stable than a Trump-led US.
I work for the ACLU of Indiana. We have been the most effective (and often only) opposition to Pence in this state. I know intimately well what a Pence presidency would mean for this nation's LGBTQ people, immigrants, women, and the economy.
Spencer, director of the white nationalist think tank National Policy Institute, told CNN. "I am getting worried that he won't work on really big important issues like immigration — that he'll get caught up on little things like making fun of people on Twitter."
Last month, Spencer even tweeted, "The #AltRight was aligned with the Trump cheerleaders for 2016. That period is over."
Heh, I see nowhere here is it reported that R's were seriously underrepresented in the poll. Imagine that. Next thing you know you guys will be telling me the polls say Hillary Clinton is going to win.
With his small hands? Highly doubtful…a difference of around 70,000 votes in 3 states, out of over 120 million cast is hardly "bitch slapped"…but I'm sure it turns you on to mention Hillary and bitch in the same sentence…
, I see nowhere here is it reported that R's were seriously underrepresented in the poll
This is such a tired "argument" when someone doesn't like a poll result.
And you seem to forget, that Trump lost the popular vote (and this is another measure of popularity). He won 46.10% of the popular vote. It is not shocking, nor outside the realm of possibility, that his approval rating is in the 40s given that we already knew he wasn't especially popular to begin with.
Heh, I see nowhere here is it reported that R's were seriously underrepresented in the poll. Imagine that. Next thing you know you guys will be telling me the polls say Hillary Clinton is going to win.
The RCP average of national polls was only 1.1% off from the final results. That is not exactly a ginormous error. In contrast, in 2012 Obama outperformed his final RCP average by 3.2%, at a time when many on the right were making precisely the same argument you're making now, that the polls undersampled Republicans.
Nobody claims polls are perfect. Occasionally they have called an election wrong; however, this has happened to Democrats just as often as as it has to Republicans. (For example, one of the biggest upsets of recent years was Harry Reid's surprise victory over Sharron Angle in 2010, where he had been trailing in every single poll and went on to win by a comfortable margin.) Moreover, these errors rarely exceed more than a few percentage points. In close elections that can matter. But there's a word for people who treat that fact as proof that all polls are meaningless propaganda and that a politician's true ratings must be 10, 20, 30 or more points above what is being shown. That word is: idiot.
I agree, but its important to note he not only beat Clinton, he also beat all the other GOP candidates. In fact, its if anything more surprising, and says more about the mood of many of the voters this election, that he won the GOP nomination than that he won the Presidency. Basically, the conservatives were fairly confident they were going to win the presidency a year ago, if only because its unusual for a party to win three consecutive presidencies.
And then Trump came, and they thought he was a joke candidate. Who kept winning. How did he win the GOP nomination? It wasn't racism or sexism or homophobia, all of their candidates have been regularly criticized for that, especially the big names like Cruz or Rubio. If you want to turn the clock back to the imaginary 1950's, you pick someone you think has a chance of winning; no one on either side gave Trump much of a chance. Which is why so much of the GOP was downright angry (remember "Never Trump" when Trump won – they thought they'd thrown away an election they had a good chance of winning.
He won because of the 10% of voters in play (90% of voters always vote for their party, they're never in play), enough of them are pissed off that they wanted a nut case to send a message. Trump never got the majority of GOP votes or electoral votes. It didn't matter, he got enough FU votes (FU to both GOP and Dems) to put him over in a few key states (helped by some very bad campaigning by both his GOP rivals in their primaries, and then Clinton in the federal election). And driving a lot of that was low expectations – he never sounded quite as bad as his critics made him out. He was compared (sometimes unfavorably) with Hitler (by both GOP and Dems interestingly enough during the respective races) and the like. People saw he was probably a terrible choice, but since they didn't think he was Hitler 2.0, they started discounting every other criticism … after all, if they're going to call him Hitler they're obviously so biased you can't take him seriously.
I'm simply afraid the same thing is going to happen when he's in office. He'll be a disaster, but he's not going to make concentration champs and start gassing people, so he'll get a pass by many because he won't meet the worst case scenarios being painted.
And I don't think it matters how the media is going to react. Just about every main stream media backed Clinton. People aren't getting their news from that, on the left or the right. Trump actually figured this out before any of the other major candidates. Its why he keeps Twittering – it removes the media processing of his message The exaggerations don't help – and really aren't needed. His own qualities are bad enough on their own, he doesn't need to be compared to Hitler or Stalin or Mao or .
How long will it take for the mechanism to stop working with Trump & his hangers-on throwing sand in the gears? No, he's not going to be Hitler 2.0, but he might be Nero 2.0.
If our mechanisms of gov't are so flimsy that one person can overthrow them, then I'd rather it be done by a clown like Trump whose only agenda is profit and satisfying his ego, than a focused, intelligent and disciplined person bent on imposing their ideology on a whole country. If its ready to fall, I'd rather it fall to Trump than say to Cruz.
But I don't think its that flimsy. He'll be backed by the GOP until they think its no longer to their benefit to back him. They're just as divided as the Democratic Party is (its funny that everyone thinks their opposition is united, a kind of paranoia I suppose), and there aren't more than a handful of high level politicians in the world who didn't get there by back stabbing party members when convenient. He has few (if any) loyal followers in the Senate or Congress. America isn't the Weimar Republic. And its far too divided to be united by one figure, which is what Trump would need to do to take over. In fact, its polarization makes it harder for a dictator to come into play (though easier for a civil war, which is a more likely disaster scenario).
In fact, its if anything more surprising, and says more about the mood of many of the voters this election, that he won the GOP nomination than that he won the Presidency.
I agree.
How did he win the GOP nomination? It wasn't racism or sexism or homophobia, all of their candidates have been regularly criticized for that
There's a pretty blatant difference of degree here. None of the other GOP candidates began their campaign calling Mexicans rapists. None of the other GOP candidates had ever embraced birtherism, let alone made it the centerpiece of their entry into politics. And while he was hardly the only candidate spreading anti-Muslim hysteria, he allowed it to define his campaign in a way none of the other candidates did.
There has long been a significant chunk of GOP voters who are driven by white racial resentment. Since the 1970s the trick for seasoned pols was to make nods to such voters without embracing them openly–Reagan's state rights talk at the site of the infamous Klan attack in Mississippi, Bush Sr.'s Willie Horton ads, W.'s stop at Bob Jones U., and so on. All Trump did was remove the mask.
he got enough FU votes (FU to both GOP and Dems) to put him over in a few key states
Sure. But FU and racism aren't mutually exclusive; in fact there's a significant overlap. The so-called "alt right" is heavily a movement devoted to the principle of FU. Much of the attack on political correctness which Trump tapped into is essentially a reaction against the progressive reforms of the past 50 years, framed as a crusade against the stifling taboos of a joyless, oppressive elite. There is in fact some validity to these attacks, particularly when it comes to college campuses in America. But it has devolved into an excuse for clinging to reactionary attitudes about race, gender, religion, and so on. "I'm not PC" has become the rallying cry of people who engage in the most boorish of behaviors, as Trump's conduct has made absolutely clear.
He'll be a disaster, but he's not going to make concentration champs and start gassing people, so he'll get a pass by many because he won't meet the worst case scenarios being painted.
That's one of the chief problems with Hitler comparisons. He's treated essentially as the ultimate cartoon supervillain whom people invoke for anything they feel the need to cast a sense of absolute moral illegitimacy on, from abortion to seat belt laws. This tendency has led many people to the opposite extreme of dismissing any comparisons between the Nazis and anything happening today. It's too bad, because there are important lessons to be learned from the rise of the Third Reich, and it shouldn't require that the situation be as bad as it was in the 1930s. When you have a political leader who expresses open admiration for despots around the world, engages in explicit racial demagoguery, advocates open persecution of certain ethnicities, has ties to actual white nationalists, and has managed to acquire power in a democratic country in part by the foolish acquiescence of both the center right and the far left while being dismissed by others as a laughable buffoon who couldn't be taken seriously–to ignore the parallels here is just as myopic as invoking Hitler in vain.
Pointing this out isn't tantamount to implying we'll be seeing gas chambers anytime soon, but I realize that's how a lot of people take it, because there's this idea that you can't learn anything from Hitler unless someone's literally committing genocide. The rise of Hitler revealed a lot of things about how a cult of personality can be used to undermine democracy, how propaganda is spread, how scapegoating minorities can be effective–things that have all happened under much less dire circumstances but which the Nazi example provides a vivid illustration of. Still, I have generally avoided these comparisons simply because I'm aware how prone they are to being misinterpreted. And frankly, there are just so many terrible possibilities lying on the spectrum between "installing oneself as dictator, plotting world domination and committing genocide against the local populace" and "being a lousy president but not in an unprecedented way."
Moreover, my major point (and I may not have been totally clear about it) is that the process of lowered expectations is one of Trump's most powerful propaganda tools, because it assists his efforts to mislead the public about what he's actually doing while in office.
And I don't think it matters how the media is going to react. Just about every main stream media backed Clinton.
But Trump received his worst polling numbers while the mainstream media was savaging him, and did his best when it turned its sights on Clinton (which happened to be during the final week of the campaign).
Despite people's attempts to deny it, the MSM had a substantial impact on public opinion in 2016. Trump became incredibly unpopular in large part due to the MSM's coverage of him, and the same is true of Clinton. And the wild swings in the polls was very largely correlated with who was receiving most of the negative coverage at the moment
No, Trump is not Hitler. He'll probably, as you say, just be a rolling disaster, but supported by the CEC.
But, we can't be sure. It will be prudent to do what we can to ensure he doesn't become not Hitler, but Putin. Putin has imprisoned people, he's almost certainly killed people. But he doesn't have concentration camps, and doesn't want to take over the world, only the old Soviet Union. I suspect Putin has someone whispering in Trumps ear that Putin is way richer than Trump, but that Trump can do what Putin did. (He probably can't, because we won't be selling huge state properties to gangsters, but they won't mention that to Trump.)
We'll know for sure if the Reichstag catches fire or an apartment building in Buynansk is bombed there's a large terrorist attack and Trump responds by seeking autocratic powers.
I hesitate to refer to Trump as a Nazi, or Hitler, or a Fascist…authoritarian, yes…depostic, yes, …idiotic, yes…but now he is talking about having the military parade for us.
"Being a great president has to do with a lot of things, but one of them is being a great cheerleader for the country…And we're going to show the people as we build up our military, we're going to display our military…That military may come marching down Pennsylvania Avenue. That military may be flying over New York City and Washington, D.C., for parades. I mean, we're going to be showing our military… | eng | 0d5b5170-23a0-4009-b3f6-3e83c0b72e9a | https://www.outsidethebeltway.com/trumps-approval-numbers-not-very-approving/ |
Illustrated Articles
Zoonosis & Human HealthBox turtles can be very fairly easy to care for type of turtle. It needs to be mentioned that there are several medical conditions that are known with box turtle ownership. Every box turtle owner should be aware that any swelling, change in energy level or food intake needs veterinary attention relatively soon.There are several problems that can occur in aquatic turtles. Cystic calculi occur in turtles when minerals from the diet form crystals in the urine, which stick together and form stones, often resulting from improper nutrition and/or dehydration. A prolapse occurs when an organ protrudes from the vent. Regardless of the tissue or organ prolapsed, all can become traumatized, become dried out, or suffer from compromised blood flow and should be seen by a veterinarian immediately. If you notice that your turtle's shell is growing irregularly, it may be a sign of malnutrition or metabolic bone disease. Any turtle whose shell is abnormal should be checked by a veterinarian so that appropriate treatment can be initiated. Although shell fractures can be serious, the shell is bone and often can be repaired. Any trauma to the shell should be brought to the attention of a veterinarian immediately. Green algae growing on the outside of the shell occurs commonly and can be cleaned off with periodic brushing of the shell with disinfectant cleaners. The skin of turtles periodically sheds off in pieces. In the water, shed skin appears as a whitish, "fuzzy" substance. Although turtles are certainly not the only reptiles that can carry Salmonella, most turtles carry the infection asymptomatically. Wash your hands thoroughly with disinfectant soap every time after handling, cleaning, or feeding your reptile or its cage items to help minimize risks of contracting salmonellosis. Most veterinarians feel it is best to try to prevent captive red-eared sliders from hibernating. Dystocia occurs the female turtle is unable to pass her eggs, is a common problem in reptiles, and can be life-threatening. A turtle with dystocia typically does not eat and rapidly becomes sick, lethargic, or unresponsive and should be seen by a veterinarian familiar with reptiles immediatelyEncephalitozoonsis is a parasitic infection that can affect the kidneys, eyes, and nervous systems of rabbits. Many infected rabbits do not develop clinical signs until they are older or if they become stressed or immunocompromised. Common signs that may develop include heavy white plaques/growths inside one or both eyes, head tilt, eye twitching, and tremors or seizures. Treatments are available, though not all rabbits respond.
Iguanas face several health problems that will need veterinary intervention for treatment or resolution. Cystic calculi, dystocia, avascular necrosis and dysecdysis are all common problems that will need medical attention sooner rather than later.
There are four major infectious diseases seen in pet rabbits. Myxomatosis is spread by bites from mosquitoes, flies, fur mites, and fleas and can also be acquired from injuries caused by contaminated thorns or thistles. Subcutaneous swelling extends around the eyes, ears, and genital region and can progress to skin hemorrhages, breathing difficulties, decreased to no appetite, fever, generalized skin tumors, and death. Viral hemorrhagic disease is transmitted by direct contact with infected rabbits, rodents, and contaminated cages, dishes, and clothing. If signs are present, they include decreased appetite, fever, lethargy, collapse, convulsions, coma, difficulty breathing, foaming at the mouth, bloody nasal discharge, and death. Encephalitozoonosis causes a latent condition in rabbits. When signs do develop, the affected rabbit may develop dense white cataracts in one or both eyes, a head tilt, nystagmus, lack of appetite, difficulty walking, uncontrollable rolling over in one direction, tremors, and seizures. Pasteurellosis commonly causes abscesses, respiratory infections, and chronic inflammatory disease in rabbits. It can infect the nasolacrimal ducts, eyes, ears, and nose, and can cause abscesses of tooth roots, bones (particularly the jaw), skin, tissues under the skin, and internal organs. | eng | a6391913-40ea-4ab5-9188-9265475b6ee4 | https://thelinksroadanimalclinic.com/pet-health-resources/pet-health-articles/articles/?pt=15 |
1. These clothes have different features in different dynasties and on different historical stages.
Colors of Costumes
In habilatory colors, the Han people regard five colors, namely blue, red, black, white and yellow, as the orthodox colors and different dynasties preferred different colors. Generally speaking, the Xia Dynasty (21st century - 17th century BC) preferred black, the Shang Dynasty (17th century - 11th century BC), white; the Zhou Dynasty (11th century - 256 BC), red; the Qin Dynasty (221-206BC), black; the Han Dynasty (206BC-220AD), red; the Tang Dynasty (618-907), yellow in clothes but red in flags; and the Ming Dynasty (1368-1644), red. However, after the Tang Dynasty, yellow was regarded as an exalted color for a long time, and usually only emperors and nobles were entitled to dress in yellow.
Mysterious Chinese Dyeing and Weaving Techniques
Raw materials of clothes mainly include flax, silk, cotton, woolen cloth, leather and so on. The dyeing and weaving techniques of the Han people enjoy worldwide reputation for a long history, advanced technology and fine design. For quite a long time, China's dyeing and weaving techniques, especially silk weaving technique, could not be found elsewhere in the world.
The ancient dyeing technique of China was very superb and advanced. It could produce cloth with varied lustrous colors, and colors it dyed were not easy to wash out. Thus, this technique was called the mysterious Chinese art by Westerners. The dyeing methods roughly fell into four types: weaving of printed cloth, dye printing, embroidery and pattern drawing.
Patterns of Costumes: from Abstract to Realistic
2. Costumes of the Han people in Modern Times
After the 1911 Revolution, the Han people's clothes for the male mainly took the following forms: Changpao (long gown) plus Magua (mandarin jacket), Changpao plus Kanjian (sleeveless jacket), Sun Yat-sen's uniform, school wear and western-style clothes, etc. While Chinese-style Shan'ao (coat) and Mindangku (trousers with the waist tucked together without buttons) were the major garments of laborers. Such a difference resulted from different economic conditions and life styles.
After the 1911 Revolution, there were two kinds of formal clothes for men -- Western-style suit and Chinese-style suit. The latter is classified into Dalifu (grand suit) and Changlifu (casual suit), and Dalifu has two subcategories: day suit and night suit. The day suit reaches the knees, and its sleeves reach the wrist, with buttons down the front, a slit in the back end and black in color, to be matched with black boots over the ankles. The night suit is similar to the western-style tailcoat, to be matched with short boots, with a black knot in the front for decoration.
The Dalifu should be matched with a high, flat-topped and brimmed hat. Chinese-style long robe refers to Changpao and Magua. The design of the western-style casual suit is basically the same as that of the Dalifu, except that it should be matched with a low and brimmed round-topped hat.
The female suit has the lower hem reaching the knees, a collarband, buttons down the front, kick pleat at the back end and full of brocade all over it. The lower garment is a skirt with a horse face pattern both in front and in back, with kilting on both the left and right sides. It was basically the suit-dress of the Hans in the Qing Dynasty (1644-1911). Women's wedding suits included the Chinese-style bright red Xiu'ao (Chinese jacket with embroidery), Xiuqun (Chinese skirt with embroidery), and the western-style white draggle-tail with puff sleeves. | eng | 0a163eee-67ea-4e6a-bae1-a8852d6276ba | http://chinastyle.cn/clothing/colorful-costumes.htm |
Teaching the Quadrivium
A Guide for Instructors
Reviving an educational tradition involves a double task. A new generation of students must be taught, and at the same time the teachers themselves must learn. This book addresses the teachers who seek to hand on the quadrivium-the four mathematical liberal arts of arithmetic, geometry, music, and astronomy-at the same time as they acquire it.
Two components run in parallel throughout the book. The first component is practical. Weekly overviews and daily lesson plans explain how to complete the study of A Brief Quadrivium in the course of a single school year, and suggestions for weekly assessments make it easy to plan tests and monitor student progress. The second component is directed to the continuing education of the teacher. Short essays explore the history, philosophy, and practice of mathematics. The themes of these essays are coordinated with the simultaneous mathematical work being done by students, allowing the teacher to instruct more reflectively.
Some users of this book are confident in their grasp of mathematics and natural science. For them, the essays will clarify the unity of mathematical activity over time and reveal the old roots of new developments. Other users of this book, including some parents who school their children at home, find mathematics intimidating. The clear structure of the lesson plans, and the support of the companion essays, give them the confidence to lead students through a demanding but doable course of study.
The British mathematician John Edensor Littlewood remarked that one finds in the ancient mathematicians not "clever schoolboys" but rather "Fellows of another College." This guide invites all teachers of the quadrivium to join the enduring mathematical culture of Littlewood and his predecessors, and to witness for themselves the significance and vitality of a tradition as old as Pythagoras.

Quick Answer
There are a few potential reasons why a song may be unavailable on Apple Music and some steps you can try to fix it:
The song may not be available in your region if there are licensing restrictions. Consider using a VPN to access the song from a different country.
The artist or label may have removed the song temporarily or permanently. Check if the song is available on other platforms.
There could be a connection issue on your end. Make sure you have a stable internet connection and restart your device.
The Apple Music catalog is updating. Try again later or search for the song manually.
Your Apple Music subscription may have lapsed. Check that your subscription is active.
Try deleting the song and re-adding it to your library to refresh metadata.
As a last resort, reach out to Apple Support for assistance troubleshooting.
Apple Music is a popular streaming service that gives you access to over 90 million songs on demand. However, you may occasionally run into issues where a specific song or album is "currently unavailable." This can be frustrating when you're trying to listen to a song you want to hear. In this article, we'll dig into some of the common reasons why you may see this message and the steps you can take to fix it.
Why is the Song Unavailable?
There are a few possible explanations for why a song becomes unavailable on Apple Music:
Licensing Restrictions
The most common reason a song is unavailable is due to licensing restrictions in your geographic region or country. Music rights and distribution deals are complex, and record labels may choose to only license a song in specific parts of the world. So even though the song exists on Apple Music, it may not be available to stream in your location.
Using a VPN to access Apple Music from a different country is one workaround. This makes Apple Music think you're in a region where the song is available. Just note that this violates Apple's terms of service.
Song Removed by Artist/Label
Artists and record labels can choose to remove songs from Apple Music if they no longer have the rights or for other reasons. For example, some artists prefer their music not be on streaming services at all.
If the song is missing across all platforms, this indicates it was likely pulled by the creator rather than an Apple Music-specific issue.
Connection Issues
Before assuming the problem is on Apple's end, always check your own connection first. Switch to a different network or try listening on a different device on the same WiFi to isolate the issue.
Apple Music Catalog Updating
The Apple Music library is constantly fluctuating as new songs get added and older ones removed. Sometimes a song disappears because Apple's catalog is undergoing an update.
Trying again later often resolves this. You can also try searching for the track directly instead of browsing to it. This works if the song metadata itself hasn't been removed yet.
Lapsed Subscription
Of course, you need an active Apple Music membership to access the full catalog. If your monthly or annual subscription ended, you'll be restricted to just your downloaded music.
Check the Subscription page in your Apple Music settings. Here you can confirm your membership status and renew if needed.
How to Fix an Unavailable Song
If you encounter an unavailable song, here are some troubleshooting steps to try:
Use a VPN
As mentioned above, a VPN can help you access region-restricted content by changing your virtual location. Choose a server in a country where the song is available and connect before launching Apple Music.
Some good options include NordVPN, ExpressVPN, and ProtonVPN. Note that using a VPN violates Apple's TOS so proceed with caution.
Check Other Platforms
Determine if the song is unavailable only on Apple Music or across all platforms. Try searching for it on Spotify, YouTube, Amazon Music, etc.
If you find it on another service, the rights-holder likely revoked Apple's license specifically. You can contact Apple Support with the details to investigate further.
Restart Your Device
If you suspect a network connectivity or app issue, a device restart is always a good first step:
On an iPhone or iPad, hold down the power button until the "Slide to Power Off" prompt appears. Confirm the shut down.
On a Mac, go to the Apple menu and select Restart.
On Apple TV, go to Settings > System > Restart.
After restarting, reopen Apple Music and search for the song again.
Reinstall the Apple Music App
Corrupt app files can also prevent streaming, so reinstalling the Apple Music app may help:
On iPhone/iPad:
Delete Apple Music from the Home Screen.
Go to the App Store and re-download it.
Sign in again with your Apple ID.
On Mac:
Click the Apple logo menu and select App Store.
Find and uninstall Apple Music.
Go back to the App Store and reinstall it.
Open Apple Music and sign in again.
On Apple TV:
Go to Settings > Apps > Apple Music.
Select Delete App.
Re-download it from the App Store.
Sign in again.
Check Your Subscription
Double check that your Apple Music membership is active and paid up:
Open the Settings app then tap on your Apple ID banner.
Select Subscriptions.
Confirm Apple Music shows as Active under your available subscriptions.
If it shows as Expired, tap on Apple Music and renew your membership. Once the payment goes through, you should regain access to the full catalog.
Contact Apple Support
If you've tried the above steps and the song remains unavailable, reach out to Apple Support:
They can investigate issues with the song file itself and contact the label if needed.
Apple Support has additional tools to diagnose problems and restore access to content. But keep your expectations realistic – if licensing restrictions cause the unavailability, there may be nothing Apple can do.
Preventing Unavailable Songs in the Future
While occasional unavailable songs are a reality of streaming services, you can take steps to reduce how often it happens:
Download your favorite songs so you have a local backup if licensing issues arise.
Use a reliable WiFi or cellular connection to ensure maximum uptime.
Don't use VPNs or proxies as these violate Apple's ToS and can cause streaming problems.
Keep your Apple Music app and iOS updated to the latest versions.
Check subscription status regularly to avoid surprise expirations.
Following best practices for using Apple Music will minimize technical issues on your end. And having downloaded copies of beloved songs guards against their vanishing from the catalog.
But ultimately streaming availability comes down to factors like licensing rights, label relationships, and regional restrictions. As a consumer, the best options are being patient, trying alternative access methods like VPNs, and providing feedback to Apple when possible about unavailable content.
Summary
Having an album or song suddenly become unavailable on Apple Music can certainly be frustrating. But in many cases, it's caused by licensing limitations rather than a technical failure. The key troubleshooting steps include:
Using a VPN to access region-restricted songs
Checking if the content was wholly removed across all platforms
Testing your network connection and restarting your device
Reinstalling the Apple Music app to fix corruption
Confirming your subscription is active
Contacting Apple Support if all else fails
Preventative measures like downloading your music library, staying updated, and using reliable connections can also minimize how often you encounter unavailable songs.
While disappearing content is an occasional annoyance, the convenience and breadth of Apple Music's catalog keeps millions of users streaming daily. A bit of troubleshooting is a small price to pay for pretty much any song ever recorded accessible from your pocket.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why does Apple Music say a song is unavailable in my region?
Regional unavailability is typically caused by licensing restrictions. Record labels may limit where a song is available for streaming based on the deals they have in place. You can use a VPN to circumvent these restrictions.
If I downloaded a song, will it become unavailable?
How do I know if a song is gone forever or just temporarily?
Check if the song is available on other streaming platforms. If you can't find it anywhere, the artist likely requested its complete removal from services. But if it's just gone from Apple Music, it may return after an update.
Can I get a refund from Apple if a song becomes unavailable?
Unfortunately Apple does not issue refunds for individual songs that become unavailable due to licensing restrictions. As long as your core subscription features work, they are unlikely to offer compensation.
What should I do if restarting my device doesn't fix an unavailable song?
If you still see the error after a restart, the next steps are reinstalling the Apple Music app, double checking your subscription status, and reaching out to Apple support for additional troubleshooting.
Conclusion
While having a song turn unavailable can be a letdown, there are usually workarounds like using a VPN or waiting for catalog updates. And downloading your music library gives a reliable backup if streaming rights ever disappear. With Apple Music's vast catalog of over 90 million tracks, one vanished song is just a small blip in the bigger streaming experience. | eng | f9214e2e-3ebf-460a-8236-7f95e0468cbc | https://darwinsdata.com/how-do-i-fix-this-song-is-currently-unavailable-on-apple-music/ |

Uvalde mom: The feds cuffed me when I begged cops to go in and confront the shooter
Bad enough for the cops not to intervene while frantic parents begged them to go in. But to actually punish them, however briefly, for pleading for their children's lives?
I'm trying to picture the scene outside the building at the next school shooting. (And the one after that, and the one after that, and the one after that….) How many parents will bring guns with them and race for the school's entrance before the cops can stop them? If you have reason to fear that your local PD won't put their lives on the line to save your child, you have only one option.
You know the old saying among gun-rights advocates: "When seconds count, the police are only minutes away. Or seconds away, but chilling outside the building."
"The police were doing nothing," said Angeli Rose Gomez, who after learning about the shooting drove 40 miles to Robb Elementary School, where her children are in second and third grade. "They were just standing outside the fence. They weren't going in there or running anywhere."…
Ms. Gomez, a farm supervisor, said that she was one of numerous parents who began encouraging—first politely, and then with more urgency—police and other law enforcement to enter the school. After a few minutes, she said, federal marshals approached her and put her in handcuffs, telling her she was being arrested for intervening in an active investigation.
Ms. Gomez convinced local Uvalde police officers whom she knew to persuade the marshals to set her free. Around her, the scene was frantic. She said she saw a father tackled and thrown to the ground by police and a third pepper-sprayed. Once freed from her cuffs, Ms. Gomez made her distance from the crowd, jumped the school fence, and ran inside to grab her two children. She sprinted out of the school with them.
Imagine arriving at the scene to find a phalanx of cops standing by, feet away, while your children's lives are in dire peril and being forced to rescue them yourself. Note the timeline too — 40 miles of driving after news of the shooting broke, then some pleading, then being cuffed, then sneaking into the school to free her kids. That's a good hour at least of police inaction.
Gomez said that after the shooting stopped the cops brought buses to take the kids away, presumably to the hospital to be checked out. When one dad approached the bus to get his child, the cops … tased him.
I don't know what to believe anymore. Gomez has no reason to lie but the police response simply can't have been that bad and tone-deaf. Can it?
Maybe it can. Local law enforcement held a press conference in Uvalde today to update reporters and … it did not inspire confidence. Remember when the head of Texas's Department of Public Safety claimed that the shooter had encountered a security officer upon entering the building and that "rounds were exchanged"? Rounds were not exchanged, it turns out. He wasn't confronted.
That answers the question I posed this morning of what happened to the security officer in the 90+ minutes after the shooter made his way in. There was no officer. In which case, why were reporters led to believe initially that there was one?
The spokesman was then asked why the police didn't enter the building when parents urged them to. He dodged:
Reporter: "Is it accurate that eye witnesses and potentially parents of the students were urging the police to go in while you were waiting for a tactical SWAT team?"
Regional Director for DPS South Texas Victor Escalon: "We have not verified if that is a true statement or not." pic.twitter.com/JsiqwNOIqr
Here's a detail I didn't know. Apparently there was a 12-minute span between the time the shooter crashed his car in front of the school and cops responding. Is that a normal response time in Uvalde? If it is, why couldn't the spokesman have said so here?
"There's a 12 minute gap from when he crashes his truck to when he enters the school. 12 minutes. What happened in that 12 minutes?" pic.twitter.com/zUAdESSH10
What was the point of this press conference? They don't have answers to even the most predictable questions about their response. They're lucky that the Wall Street Journal piece about the mom being handcuffed wasn't published until this afternoon or else they would have been asked to explain that too.
There'll be no legal consequences for any of this either, in all probability. The police have no duty to assist you when you're in danger as far as I'm aware, which makes the fact that parents were held back that much more outrageous. It's one thing not to risk your own life to save another, it's another to prevent a willing volunteer from risking theirs.

Year 8 Medieval History incursion
Year 8 Medieval History incursion
On Wednesday the Year 8s took part in a Medieval History incursion run by the wonderful staff of Abbey Museum. Students learned about knights and chivalry (and even got to try out some armour and weapons!), practised their archery skills, and enjoyed a variety of games such as kubb, skittles and operating a trebuchet. These activities helped them to gain a greater understanding of Medieval culture and customs. | eng | 563e998c-2a4b-4fa5-bfd8-4cf94d461eb6 | https://redlands.qld.edu.au/year-8-medieval-history-incursion/ |
WHAT PAKISTAN CAN LEARN FROM INDIA?
Back in 1947, the sub-continent was divided into Pakistan and India. Now, both the countries will turn 72 years old and here we need to compare the economic, social and political stability of the countries. This comparison would help us to know where we are lacking and where India is getting an edge in the world. As a result, we can work on those areas to compete better.
Giving Importance to Own Cultural Values, Norms, Customs, and Language:
Every region is known for its distinct culture, norms, and values. Likewise, Pakistan and India both have unique cultures. There are a few similarities but both are entirely different on the basis of religious values and beliefs. Therefore, both countries have a separate identity.
India has always valued its cultural norms, values, and beliefs at every ground but Pakistan somehow fails here. The elite class and the showbiz industry are deliberately driving the youth of Pakistan from their culture. Instead, they are leaner towards western culture. Hence, the youth is following 'Gora Culture' and feels proud when they dress and speak like them.
Furthermore, India gives priority to its 'National Language- Hindi' but Pakistani feel ashamed when they speak Urdu. Let's take an example of any reality show. How many of you are watching Pepsi Battle of the Bands? Most of the time, the judges give comments in English but not in Urdu.
On the other hand, how many of us have seen Indian Idol? (Let's be sincere to ourselves!) Those judges are more polite and they do not hesitate to comment in 'Hindi'. Apart from this, there are many other examples. Do I need to mention more examples here?
Foreign Policy of Vested Interest:
India's foreign policy is among the best foreign policies in the world. Why am I saying this? This is because India knows how to work according to its vested interest.
Some of the global rifts are between:
USA and Russia
China and the USA
USA and Iran
Iran and the Kingdom of Saudi Arab
India has trade policies with all of these countries and interestingly, India knows how to maintain the right balance between these relations. Therefore, any of these rifts do not affect the trade of India. What about Pakistan? We all know that how CPEC is affecting our IMF loan. So, Pakistan should learn from the foreign policy of India.
Cheap Labor Attracting Foreign Investments:
Previously, China used to produce the products at the lowest cost due to its cheap labor. Later on, Vietnam came as a competitor and now India is also in this rat race. So, many multinational companies have made their manufacturing units in India.
Export Policies Spreading Positive Image of India:
Cheap Labor with favorable export policies makes a great combination for the entrepreneurs, investors, and businessmen. So, year by year India is producing more products according to the export quality. Ultimately, it is promoting Indian goods in foreign markets. Above all, the products must have a product description in Hindi and may include any other language too.
Also, the citizens of Pakistan are becoming brand conscious. It is because of the blessings of marketing tools but the people are spending money on useless stuff. Today, Pakistan needs us but the bitter reality is that we are not ready to give up on our lifestyles.
Credits:
Conclusion:
These are a few accomplishments of India and there are many more including the advancement of technology, and educational reforms, etc. With all of these activities, India has much better GDP than of Pakistan. Apart from this, India is rising with China to become a developed country in the near future (If not in the near future, it has great potential to become a developed country before Pakistan). Here, Pakistanis should stand up as a nation to promote a positive soft image of Pakistan in the whole world and learn from its neighboring country-India. | eng | 28d018f1-2be8-4048-997e-f808a3918ad5 | https://mushwarah.pk/what-pakistan-can-learn-from-india/ |

There is no one-size-fits-all answer to this question, as the importance of on-page SEO will vary depending on your industry and the competitive landscape. However, there are a few key points that can generally be agreed upon:
1. On-page SEO is essential for improving the ranking of your website in search engine results pages (SERPs). This includes optimizing your website for search engine crawlers, indexing your site correctly, and ensuring that your website's content is well-written and keyword-rich.
2. Off-page SEO (link building) is essential for promoting your website and attracting backlinks from high-quality sources. This can be done through content marketing (writing quality articles that promote your website), social media marketing (fostering good relationships with relevant bloggers and social media users), or paid off-page SEO services.
3. A combination of on-page and off-page SEO tactics is usually the best way to go - focusing primarily on one type of SEO may lead to neglecting other areas of your website that could be adversely affected.
So, on-page SEO is essential, but off-page SEO is also crucial for boosting your ranking. It's important to strike a balance between both strategies to achieve the best possible results for your website.
Thanks for asking!
Without good content (on-site SEO) it's nearly impossible to focus on link building (offsite SEO) as other bloggers or marketers and other potential partners won't see any value in partnering with you, without good content to begin with.
They are complimentary to each other but step 2 (off site) is a helluva lot harder to gain any traction with, if you haven't made your best efforts with step 1 (on-site).
I'd say, all things considered, yes. I always move the dial more with on-page than off-page. When clients ask for just off-page work I think they're missing a trick. But off-page work is perhaps less tedious so yknow I still do lots
On-page seo can significantly improve your SEO score and health of the website. It will also help you to improve your organic traffic. If your organic traffic is storng enough you don't have to opt for off-page seo.
On-page SEO is more important for improving your website's search engine ranking. Off-page SEO is more important for building links and increasing your website's visibility. In order to improve your website's search engine ranking, you should do both on-page and off-page SEO. It depends on your website's specific needs and goals.
On page is always first. There's no point to working on off page if your digital house is a mess. The good news is once you handle the on page issues, you can shift them to maintenence and focus on off page. On page is immediate and off page is more of a long term strategy for growth.
There is no easy answer when it comes to the question of whether on-page or off-page SEO is more important. It really depends on the individual website and the competition within the niche. However, a good rule of thumb is that on-page SEO is usually more important for smaller sites with less competition, while off-page SEO is usually more important for larger sites with more competition. | eng | c801b81a-8e49-478c-b090-c2ef9add0423 | https://rfkjrforpresident.com/p/digital_marketing/comments/z3cw2s/is_onpage_seo_more_important_than_offpage_seo/ |

Some of the scale units are quite tricky to keep in mind. But some units are quite easy to remember. We are going to talk and understand about "how many fluid ounces in a gallon". Gallon 1 and Quarts 2 is a scale for measuring liquid units. These units are also used to measure dry matter.
how many fluid ounces in a gallon
Gallon and quarts units are mostly used in the US and Australia. Here the question becomes "how many fluid ounces in a gallon". Let us know about the answer to this question. | eng | 09f9d1b9-85bf-4ce0-8b53-9871d9415f00 | https://onlinemoneytake.com/how-many-fluid-ounces-in-a-gallon/ |
All human beings have some basic needs like food, water, clothing, shelter, love and security. If these needs are not fulfilled, it is difficult to enjoy happiness and satisfaction. The advancement in science and technology gave new dimensions to these needs and enhanced their productivity so that most of the people today are able to fulfill these needs to their happiness and satisfaction. If many people in the world are still not happy, it is because fulfillment of needs often leads to increase of greed, which is almost impossible to be satisfied. Mahatma Gandhi said wisely, "Earth provides enough to satisfy every man's needs, but not every man's greed."
Greed means intense and selfish desire for something, especially wealth or power. While needs are limited, there is no limit to greed. Unfortunately, most people can't differentiate between their needs and greed. They keep increasing their list of needs according to their achievements without realising that their needs have been satisfied long back and the new items are embodiments of their greed. As a result, they are never satisfied with their lives despite earning good income or occupying high position in the society.
Let us try to understand the difference between need and greed. Our needs are relate to body, which has limits that can be fulfilled easily. For example, we have only limited capacity to eat food. The energy requirement of an average person can be fulfilled by consuming around 2400 calories per day. Our body is designed to give us signals for craving as well as fulfillment of our needs. When we eat less, we feel hunger as our body craves for food. However, our hunger vanishes no sooner than our food requirement is satisfied. Once your stomach is filled, you can't consume any more food. Any excess consumption of food gives stomach ache or gets expelled in vomit; and habitual overeating tends to harm our bodies by making us obese and leading to several ailments. In the same way, we need only a few clothes to wear and one cot to sleep. These basic needs can be easily taken care of with limited income and resources.
However, most people are not happy with mere satisfaction of their needs. They keep increasing their greed in the garb of their needs and keep pushing themselves to seek more and more. Greed is related to craving of the mind and is based on imagination. Hence, it has no limits. For example, you need only one room to live in, yet you may crave for a mansion in a posh locality to satisfy your greed. In the same way, people crave for expensive cars, Armani suits and five star luxuries when their needs are satisfied. They want to be better than others and they wish to show off their possessions and accomplishments to create envy in others. Their cravings never stopand they keep wanting more and more. Little do these people realize that in order to fulfill their greed, they are making their own life miserably dissatisfied and at the same time, are robbing the poor of their share of basic needs? James Castleton warned such people, "The less fortunate will never have what they need until we who are more fortunate realize how little we require to be happy."
A Swiss proverb says, "A greedy person and a pauper are practically one and the same". In fact, a greedy person is even worse than a pauper because the latter gets satisfied with little, but a greedy person knows no saisfaction. Greedy people often follow illegal and immoral means to satisfy their wants. In order to fulfill their greed for wealth, they don't mind engaging in corruption or crimes. To fulfill their have greed for power, they shun all principles and cheat others. Some people fail to control their greed for food and eat far more than what is needed by their body. As a result, they become obese and suffer many physical and mental ailments. The German social psychologist Erich Fromm warned us the pitfalls of greed, "Greed is a bottomless pit which exhausts the person in an endless effort to satisfy the need without ever reaching satisfaction".
Greed or the inability to control one's wants, cravings and urges can have other manifestations too. It is the greed of fame that makes a person be frivolous and pretentious and speak many lies to impress the people. Some people fail to control their sexual desires and in their quest to achieve sensual gratification, they commit numerous immoral deeds and lose respect and honour in the society. It is human greed that has caused over-exploitation of Earth's natural reserves and played havoc with the environment and climate.
It is thus evident that an individual is destroyed physically, mentally and spiritually if he fails to control his greed. If a society fails to inculcate right values in its people, the entire breed is destroyed in their quest to satisfy their greed. People need to be educated about the evil effects of greed so that they can understand their need and take measures to contain their greed. We must listen to the counsel of the author Linda Berdoll "You cannot always have what you want. Sometimes you get what you need."
The secret of happy life is to clearly identify our needs, which are indeed very limited. We must learn to be contented once our basic needs are satisfied and turn to seek joy in non-material things. For example, we must learn to cherish music, arts and literature instead of seeking wealth or power. We may render social service to help the poor and needy people instead of accumulating wealth. Instead of competing with others to feel superior, we must develop the spirit of cooperation to develop trust, love and compassion for fellow humans. Instead of seeking happiness outside, we must seek happiness within by simplifying our lives. The practice of yoga and meditation can help us discover ourselves and bring peace and tranquility in our lives.
It is in human nature to seek more and achieve more in life. It is due to this desire of knowing and accomplishing more that human beings have been able to discover, invent and create all that the world has today. To some extent, desire for more may motivate people to give their best. Desire becomes harmful only if it is unrestrained and unmanaged.
It is, therefore, necessary for us to identify our needs and seek its fulfillment. The lesser our needs, the easier it is to satisfy them. We must follow the philosophy of simple living high thinking. It is of no use to sacrifice our basic principles and human values to satisfy our greed. Jesus Christ warned us about the perils of chasing worldly pursuits, "What good is it for someone to gain the whole world, yet forfeit their soul?"
If we can overcome our greed, we can make our life beautiful, joyful and peaceful with whatever we have. A song from the Hindi movie 'Khatta Meetha' gives this message, "Thoda hai, thode ki zaroorat hai; zindagi, phir bhi yahan khoobsoorat hai" (We have little, we need little. The life here is still beautiful). Let us focus our mind inwards to find contentment and happiness in simple things of life and create a beautiful and sustainable world | eng | 62eaec2d-02d3-41f5-986f-f87ae1676bd2 | https://awdheshacademy.com/morecaffairs.php?Need-brings-greed;-if-greed-increases,-it-spoils-breed-%5B2016%5D&id=176&cateid=MjE=&subcateid=&rurl=bW9yZWNhZmZhaXJzLnBocD9OZWVkLWJyaW5ncy1ncmVlZDstaWYtZ3JlZWQtaW5jcmVhc2VzLC1pdC1zcG9pbHMtYnJlZWQtWzIwMTZdJmlkPTE3NiZjYXRlaWQ9TWpFPSZzdWJjYXRlaWQ9 |
Getting your kids to brush their teeth
If you're a parent or caregiver, it's important to give your kids a healthy oral start by establishing good dental habits early on. Children are likely to model the behaviors seen at home, and maintaining proper oral health is no exception.
The American Dental Association (ADA) recommends that both children and adults brush at least two times a day with fluoride toothpaste for two minutes each time. The right tools are important, so for kids, buy a soft-bristled toothbrush with a small head. Thankfully, there is a wide range of child-size brushes available, both manual and electric.
Brushing is foundational to a lifetime of good oral health, as it enables the removal of food and plaque (the sticky white film that can build up on teeth, causing bacteria). Eating any food or snack containing sugar can result in plaque, which will then result in acids that erode tooth enamel.
Brushing should begin as soon as a child first starts getting teeth. Those first teeth may last as long as a decade, so they must be properly cared for. Children younger than age 6 will rely on adults to help care for their teeth. While it's ok to have a young child "help," young children will need an adult to physically do the bulk of the brushing for them.
Here are some tips for getting your children to properly brush their teeth.
1. Be a good role model.
Children rely on their parents/caregivers to navigate their world, and when it comes to dental care, what you do will impact their choices and actions. Establishing good oral health habits starts with communicating the importance of brushing with your children. Relay why brushing and taking care of your teeth is an important part of good overall health. Brushing your teeth can be equated to health/safety measures such as taking a shower or wearing a seatbelt.
From an early age, let children see you brushing and flossing and making healthy choices when it comes to good oral hygiene. They will follow your lead!
2. Practice good technique.
Brushing is only effective when done correctly. From about the age of six when a child has the coordination to brush their teeth, you can start establishing a good routine by having your family dentist explain how to properly brush your teeth.
Here at Wilton Smiles, we teach even our youngest patients good brushing techniques, however, these practices must also be reinforced at home. Tips include:
How to hold a toothbrush properly
Angling the toothbrush and moving it in the direction so that it meets the gum line
Brushing every surface of each tooth using short, gentle strokes
Moving the brush in a circular motion to reach all areas of the teeth
Working gently to avoid irritation of the gum
Brushing all teeth and not just the ones in the front, plus don't neglect your tongue, which helps remove bacteria and helps keep breath fresh
Starting good technique at a young age will make it easier for brushing to become part of your child's daily routine. And, when they can start brushing independently, it's important to supervise them to ensure that they are being thorough.
3. Make brushing fun.
Get kids excited about brushing by making it fun and incorporating props and other engaging elements to encourage their participation. A few ideas include:
Have new brushers in your home, "practice" proper technique on a favorite doll or stuffed animal…they can even practice on you!
Set an electric timer or use a colorful sand timer so that kids know they are brushing for at least two minutes at a time
Go shopping and let children choose their toothbrush in a favorite color or featuring a favorite cartoon character. Kids may also be motivated by an electric toothbrush, many of which now include fun characters and a timer. (Note: Remember to replace toothbrushes every 3 or 4 months, depending on wear and tear!)
You can also let kids help select toothpaste, as long as it contains fluoride
4. Reiterate the importance of brushing as part of daily hygiene.
Particularly in our post-pandemic world, kids know about the importance of hand washing as a means of overall cleanliness and health, but from an early age, kids should also be exposed to the importance of good hygiene practices, part of which includes daily brushing of teeth.
In addition to daily showers or baths, wearing clean clothes, and proper grooming, parents and caregivers should reiterate the importance of good hygiene, which includes consistent oral care.
5. Establish brushing as part of the morning and nighttime routine.
Kids thrive with routine. Because brushing must be done at least two times a day, establish it as part of their morning and nighttime routines.
In the morning, brushing should happen after breakfast to start the day with a clean, fresh mouth and good breath.
At night, even if they are resistant to going to bed as many children often are, a consistent nighttime routine that includes brushing will help maintain proper oral health care. The routine may include bathtime, brushing teeth, reading books, and then lights out!
Like these daily rituals, children will come to include brushing as part of their routines, both to start and end their day.
Helping your family establish other good oral health habits
From teaching proper techniques to modeling good habits, the earlier you can help your child incorporate good brushing habits into their daily life, the better off they will be.
Continue to support your child's brushing efforts by taking other precautions such as limiting juice and other sugary drinks, ramping up their water in between meals and at bedtime, limiting candy, and flossing daily.
It's also crucial that you stay on top of scheduling regular dental visits every six months. In need of an appointment for your child? Give us a call at (203) 762-9907!

How do I know if an auto transport company is legit?
To determine the legitimacy of an auto transport company, scrutinize customer reviews and be wary of those with poor ratings or extremely low quotes, which could signal a scam. Confirm the company's registration and MC Docket number with the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA). Be cautious of companies that need to be more transparent about their broker fees or demand non-refundable deposits.
Navigating vehicle delivery logistics can be intricate, emphasizing the need for a legitimate auto transport company. These entities are crucial as they are equipped with the requisite resources, experience, and proficient teams to manage efficient car transport, ensuring the vehicle's safety throughout the journey and compliance with all pertinent regulations, thus shielding the owner from potential legal ramifications.
Recognizing the Signs of a Genuine Auto Transport Company
In identifying a genuine auto transport company, the professionalism in their approach plays a significant role. How they handle inquiries, manage transactions, and execute services indicates their legitimacy. For instance, an authentic company will always provide official business communications, comprehensive contracts, and detailed service guidelines to their customers, which clearly outline the terms and conditions, responsibilities, and expectations. Unluckily, businesses needing proper methods of operation and consistency in service delivery often indicate a lack of legitimacy.
Another vital sign of a credible auto transport company is its commitment to transparent pricing. Genuine firms are always transparent about service costs without hidden charges or unexpected fees. They will provide a clear breakdown of what you're paying for, allowing you to make informed decisions while availing their service. This transparency not only enhances trust but also minimizes disputes over payments. Contrarily, companies that don't disclose full pricing details usually raise red flags.
Inspecting the Company's Registration and Licensing
Before opting for an auto transport service, thoroughly checking the company's registration and licensing details is vital. This step is primarily undertaken to establish the validity of the company and its standing in the realm of auto transport services. Adequate inspection involves confirming if the company is licensed by the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA). A legitimate auto transport company typically possesses an active MC Docket number and the U.S Department of Transportation (USDOT) number, a definitive mark of legality and a green signal to proceed.
Moreover, registration checks should include visiting the agency's official webpage. Here, consumers will find an elaborate database of licensed interstate movers from which an in-depth report of the concerned company can be generated. This report provides detailed insights into the company's safety records, inspection summary, and crash reports. Verification from the Better Business Bureau (BBB) and inspection of insurance records can serve as additional guards against potential deception. This proactive approach ensures a safe and secure auto transport experience free from unnecessary complications.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why is it important to inspect a company's registration and licensing?
Inspecting a company's registration and licensing is crucial to ensure that the company is legitimate and operates under the laws and regulations of the governing body. It's a way to protect consumers from fraudulent activity and to guarantee that the services provided are up to standard.
How can I verify the legitimacy of an auto transport company?
Legitimate auto transport companies are usually registered with the local or national government bodies and have all the necessary operating licenses. You can verify the legitimacy by asking the company to provide their registration details and license number, which you can then cross-check with the official records.
What are some signs of a genuine auto transport company?
Genuine auto transport companies usually have a physical address and a contact number on their website. They will also have their registration and licensing details readily available. Additionally, they should have a good reputation in the market, with positive customer reviews and ratings.
What might happen if I use an unlicensed auto transport company?
You take a significant risk if you use an unlicensed auto transport company. The company may not adhere to safety standards, which could damage your vehicle. Additionally, you might have limited legal recourse in any dispute or issue.
Is there a database where I can check the registration and licensing of an auto transport company?
Yes, most countries have publicly accessible databases where you can check businesses' registration and licensing details. For auto transport businesses in the U.S., you can check the U.S. Department of Transportation's Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration database. Always verify the company's registration and licensing before engaging in their | eng | fee413b1-545b-48da-a6a1-4942cb416f8e | https://www.a1autotransport.com/how-do-i-know-if-an-auto-transport-company-is-legit/ |

The length of the tube being 7.5" long and 2.25" wide, it was a bit small, but was do-able. The only real con we found was the ball (pump) on the tube would come off if pulled on too hard while pumping. This would cause all the pressure you had built up to be lost and we had to start over again. It was more of an inconvenience than anything.

How good is scaffolding for construction II
Today, without the assistance of a scaffolding system, work on height would have been impossible. The scaffolding system has been the beauty behind all construction work, towers, and many plazas within your city. Behind all the benefits of the scaffolding system, let us look at how good is scaffold for construction work.
Scaffolding is a type of structure that provides support for building projects. In the construction industry, scaffolding is often used to provide temporary access to high-rise buildings, bridges, and tall structures. A scaffold is also commonly used to build temporary structures such as fences, sheds, and temporary storage facilities.
A. Benefits of using scaffolding: Scaffolding is widely used in construction because it is cost-effective and does not require heavy machinery. It is also safe because it withstands extreme weather conditions and harsh elements. There are many types of scaffolds, including wood, metal, and plastic. Each material has its advantages and disadvantages.
B. Types of scaffolding:
Wooden scaffolding is the most popular type of scaffolding. It is sturdy, strong, and long-lasting. Wooden scaffolding comes in two forms: hand-made and prefabricated.
Hand-made wooden scaffolding is constructed by cutting down trees and shaping them into planks. Prefabricated wooden scaffolding is manufactured at factories and then shipped to construction sites.
Metal scaffolding is lightweight and durable.
Plastic scaffolding is inexpensive and versatile. It is resistant to corrosion and can be clean.
C. Advantages & Disadvantages of using scaffolding:
Disadvantages of using scaffolding: Using scaffolds is cheaper than hiring workers to do the job. It is also safer than working on a high-rise building without safety equipment. Because the scaffolding is portable, it can movable around the site easily. It is also easier to transport materials to the site.
Advantages of using scaffolding: The disadvantage of using a scaffolding system is that it is time-consuming. It takes a long time to construct a scaffold than to hire workers to complete the project. Another disadvantage is that scaffolding is bulky and difficult to store. | eng | 84d3349e-a854-4a9f-8b46-63a3de254ede | https://www.blogbangboom.com/blog/how-good-is-scaffolding-for-construction-ii |
Imagine that you ordered something online and found out later that it was recalled or even banned. How would you react? Would you ever buy from that online retailer again? Probably not. That is the scenario that the House Energy and Commerce Committee wants to prevent. The committee is worried that some of the largest online shopping companies are not doing enough to stop consumers from buying products that pose safety risks through their platforms, exposing them to potential harm. The committee has sent letters to 17 companies asking them about their efforts to prevent sales of dangerous products. | eng | 10cb6b94-9f54-4239-8b01-9988c9c3604e | https://thefloridareporter.com/es/online-marketplaces-social-media-platforms-under-fire-by-congress-over-recalled-products/ |
VIDEO: China Humiliates Biden On The World Stage
I was talking to a friend of mine earlier this week and we were discussing what was going on with Russia, Ukraine, and China. Recently, Chinese President Xi Jinping and Russian President Vladimir Putin held talks in Moscow. This visit was seen as a symbol of the strong relationship between the two countries and their leaders. The talks focused on a range of topics, including economic cooperation, security issues, and the ongoing conflict in Ukraine.
Xi and Putin have had a close relationship for many years now. Since coming to power in 2012, Xi has made multiple visits to Russia to meet with Putin. During these meetings, the two leaders have discussed ways to strengthen ties between China and Russia. They have also signed various agreements that promote economic cooperation between their countries.
Xi proposed a plan for peace negotiations in Ukraine that would involve both Russia and China as mediators. He argued that this could be an effective way of ending the conflict without resorting to military force or other forms of coercion. While Putin welcomed this proposal, he also expressed skepticism about its chances of success given the current situation in Ukraine.
However, it remains unclear whether Xi's proposal for peace negotiations in Ukraine will be successful or not given the current state of affairs there.
However, there was one thing that caught the eye of some:
At the end of the meetings in Moscow, Xi Jinping told Vladimir Putin:
Xi Jinping: Change is coming that hasn't happened in 100 years. And we are driving this change together.
This sort of begs the question though…what is it that we actually saw around 100 years ago that Xi Jinping could have been alluding to? Well, I'm not exactly sure to be quite honest. 100 years ago, we had a lot going on and I'm sure he didn't mean exactly 100 years. So, what could it be? My best guess is something like this:
100 years ago, Russia and China had a complex relationship. In the early 20th century, the two countries were in competition for influence in East Asia. This led to a number of conflicts between them, including the Russo-Japanese War of 1904–1905 and the Chinese Eastern Railway dispute of 1911–1917. However, they also maintained diplomatic relations during this time and signed several treaties, such as the Treaty of Peking in 1860 and the Treaty of St. Petersburg in 1881.
In 1923, Russia and China had recently established diplomatic relations after the end of the Russian Civil War and the establishment of the Soviet Union. The relationship between the two countries was generally positive and marked by cooperation, especially in the areas of trade and military assistance.
The Soviet Union provided military and technical support to the Chinese government, which was then led by the Nationalist Party under Sun Yat-sen. In return, China exported raw materials to the Soviet Union, including tungsten and antimony. The two countries also signed a treaty in 1924 that recognized their mutual border. | eng | 677c171c-8244-4614-811d-c0cf18a0176a | https://dainikbidyaloy.com/2023/03/27/video-china-humiliates-biden-on-the-world-stage/ |
Smaller Homes Are Becoming More Popular
Why are smaller homes becoming more and more popular? Find out today.
Over the past few years, we've noticed that smaller homes are becoming increasingly popular among homebuyers. Why is that, though?
To understand this trend, first look to the younger generations of buyers, meaning Gen Z and millennials. These age groups are trending toward more urban, higher-density homes that provide greater access to amenities. Due to this, we've noticed a rise in planned communities with a lot of mixed-use (i.e., residential and commercial) spaces in the same area.
Older generations are looking for smaller, lower-maintenance properties as well. They're looking for increased accessibility in their homes, ideally with fewer stairs.
"People are trending away from larger homes to spare themselves the effort of cleaning and maintaining all that square footage."
These two demographics are the largest segments of the market, which is likely why you're seeing new construction home size trending downward. In 2019, only 20% of the homes we sold in total were 2,500 square feet or greater, and 93% of new construction homes were below that size threshold. The largest percentage of the market is looking for homes between 1,500 and 2,500 square feet.
In general, I think that people are trending away from larger homes to spare themselves the effort of cleaning and maintaining all that square footage. Smaller homes prevent them from becoming house-poor and allow them to invest some of their money into experiences.
I expect to see this trend continue in our market as we advance into the new decade.

Rubio: 'I Passionately Believe' Obama Is Trying to Destroy America
KILMEADE: "Florida Senator Marco Rubio under fire for some of the memorized lines as we know, both at debate and now at some of his rallies." [clip starts] RUBIO: "We are taking our message to families that are struggling to raise their children in the 21th century because as you see Janette and I are raising our four children in the 21st century and we know how hard it is to instill our values in our kids instead of the values that try to ram down our throats." [clip ends] KILMEADE: "In the final lap here, in something as the New Hampshire primary will it affect his campaign and the results today? Joining us, Senator Macro Rubio of Florida. First off, I saw you with Megyn last night. I know that a lot of people are on you for what you said in the debate over and over again. Do you think that is something you're going to revisit as a campaign strategy?" RUBIO: No, of course not. This is what I believe passionately. What I said at the debate over and over again is that I'm going to say now again. Barack Obama is changing America. He's trying to make our country like other countries and he said he'd do that in 2008. This is the cornerstone — one of the cornerstones of our campaign. This election is about a choice about whether we continue to do that, because that's going to happen if Bernie Sanders or Hillary Clinton is elected. All the changes that Barack Obama has made to our country is going to continue or be made permanent or instead, we'll re-embrace the constitution and limited government. I think the question is why aren't more Republicans saying that? Because if you don't understand that the difference between us and the Democrats is not just a few little issues, but that they have a very different view of what America should be and what our government should be, you don't understand that, then you don't understand what this campaign is really all about. You don't understand what's happening in America." KILMEADE: "But before you get the —" RUBIO: "Rush Limbaugh said yesterday, he doesn't understand why more people aren't saying this. So we'll keep saying it, absolutely we are." KILMEADE: "He's been very complimentary towards you and said that you're a true conservative and he's been going to bat. And he does — you both live in Florida." | eng | 1a5e5242-db29-40a6-9627-cd4fe6dd844f | https://grabien.com/story.php?id=48107 |

Elementary Students Celebrate Happiness
The cold and rainy weather didn't stop the festivities at Castle Hills Elementary School in Lewisville, Texas today, as nearly 800 jubilant students and faculty gathered on the blacktop wearing orange and purple shirts, spelling out the word "happy."
Life lessons
"Learning to be happy, grateful and content for what you have are life-long skills that encourages a child not to be selfish," says Castle Hills principal Donna J. Taylor. "Promoting happiness and focusing on the good in life will benefit the entire school community."
Students in kindergarten through fifth grade wrote out and posted how they would share happiness, ranging from smiling at one another and helping others to cleaning up the cafeteria and having "millions of playdates with my friends." For each act of kindness, Live Happy has pledged to donate a dollar to the Big Brothers and Big Sisters program.
Building happiness into the curriculum
All week Castle Hill Elementary School teachers weaved happiness into the curriculum, teaching about the meaning of the IDOH and how important it is to be nice to one another. Big orange buckets were placed throughout the school for students to randomly drop in their happy thoughts about being grateful, kind and nice. Donna says that the effort to keep talking about the value of happiness won't end after today.
Nurturing positivity
"Our school will continue to encourage and model exceptional leadership and kindness through our Great Expectations program," she says. "We will also encourage putting others before our self and doing nice things for others without being asked, because that's the kind of culture we want in our school." | eng | 18abce36-377c-4e94-9c3e-84bc06d1f2dd | https://www.livehappy.com/elementary-students-celebrate-happiness/ |

The short answer is probably yes, depending on the type of game you're making. The Youtube Audio Library Music allows you to use the audio in your free, non-commercial game, provided you follow the terms of use. It's important to pay close attention to the legal restrictions around using the library, as they vary depending on the type of game you're creating.
Using the Audio Library for Video Games
If you're creating a game specifically for video game platforms, such as Xbox, Nintendo Switch, Playstation or PC, then you must have a separate license for the video game platform. This means that you cannot use the Youtube Audio Library Music as the background music for your game, as it does not include a license for these platforms. However, if you're creating a browser-based game, or a game released directly online, then you can generally use the audio library music.
It's important to note that you cannot sell your game, and the game must not be released on any of the popular video game platforms. Also, you may not make any modifications to the music. For example, you can't add sound effects or combine different audio tracks.
Using the Audio Library for Other Formats
If you're creating a game for a non-video game platform, such as a website, mobile app, or social media game, then you can use the Youtube Audio Library Music. For example, if you're creating a flash game or a web based game, then you can use the audio library music. You must follow the terms of the audio library, which includes not selling the game, or releasing it on any of the popular video game platforms.
You can also use the library music in a game that's released publicly online, as long as you follow the terms of use. For example, if you're creating a game that's released on the Google Play Store or Apple's App Store, then you can use the audio library music, but you must follow the terms of use.
Conclusion
To summarize, you can use the Youtube Audio Library Music in a free, non-commercial game that is not released on the popular video game platforms. However, you must follow the terms of the audio library, which includes not selling the game or modifying the audio tracks.
Is there a limit on the amount of music that can be used from the Youtube Audio Library in a non-commercial game?
No, there is no limit on the amount of music that can be used from the Youtube Audio Library for a non-commercial game. However, you should make sure that you are following all of the appropriate guidelines and copyright laws in order to avoid any legal issues.
Are there additional fees or royalties associated with using music from the Youtube Audio Library in a non-commercial, non-Steam game?
No, there are not. YouTube's Audio Library allows users to download and use royalty-free music in their non-commercial, non-Steam video games, as long as they agree to YouTube's licensing terms.
What restrictions apply to using music from the Youtube Audio Library in non-commercial titles?
The YouTube Audio Library grants access to a selection of tracks for non-commercial use in videos that you create. Tracks from the YouTube Audio Library may only be used in videos on YouTube, and all music must be part of a YouTube video. Tracks from the YouTube Audio Library may not be used on paid-ad platforms such as Facebook or Instagram, in broadcasts, in film or television productions, or in any other digital or physical form or platform. Additionally, you may not alter, transform, or build upon a track from the YouTube Audio Library, even for non-commercial purposes. | eng | dbcd4bb0-1556-4fda-ad67-7ace8b5ce41e | https://buzzsocio.com/can-i-use-the-youtube-audio-library-music-in-a-free-non-commercial-game-not-released-on-steam-either/ |

I understand that repeated safety violations may result in dismissal from the rest of the laboratory exercises without the option to make up any missed laboratory grades". Out of safety concerns, a student will not be allowed to participate in any laboratories if s/he cannot agree to this statement.

11 Common Questions About Personal Injury of your accident attorney.
1. How Do I Know I Have a Case?
If your injuries occurred due to someone else's negligence or wrongful actions, you have a right to seek compensation, so long as you can prove fault.
2. What Is the Value of My Case?
The value of your case depends on medical bills (past and future), rehabilitation costs, lost wages/future income, and pain and suffering; your attorney will carefully research your case to estimate its value.
4. How Do I File a Personal Injury Claim?
Bring all documentation to your attorney, including repair bills, medical paperwork, results of diagnostic tests, receipts, and police reports. Explain every detail to your lawyer and follow their instructions.
5. Do I Need a Lawyer?
A lawyer will fight for your rights. Insurance companies don't want to provide the compensation you deserve; without legal representation, you risk getting a lowball offer and being overwhelmed by a complex legal process.
6. How Do I Work with My Attorney?
You'll first need to provide every detail of your accident and injury, as well as your employment and medical history; your attorney will help in filing the necessary paperwork, and discuss fees, expenses, and applicable laws.
7. Do I Have to Go on Trial?
Most personal injury cases reach a settlement before the trial date. Disputes in facts, contested legal issues, and unreasonable or no settlements from a defendant are common reasons to go to trial.
8. How Long Will the Process Take?
A simple case, in which your attorney works directly with an insurance company or other parties, can resolve in as little as a few weeks. If litigation is involved, the process can take a year or more.
9. What Will I Spend on Legal Fees?
Legal expenses are determined by your attorney, law firm, and arrangement, which can be on an hourly basis or upfront retainer. If your attorney works on a contingency basis, payment will be a pre-determined percentage of your settlement. The actual total cost differs with each case.
10. Can I Win If the Accident Was Partially My Fault?
California's comparative negligence law enables you to still recover proportionate damages even if you were partially to blame for the accident, so long as the defendant is more to blame.
11. Is There a Way to Maximize My Settlement?
Gather as much evidence as you can; the stronger the evidence and the more you understand the categories of damages that apply to your case, the more aggressive your lawyer can be in maximizing your injury settlement.

What is an Explanation of Benefits (EOB)?
An Explanation of Benefits (EOB) is a statement that shows claims information about the services provided during your health or dental visits. An EOB is created by your insurance carrier to show you the total cost of your services. It also shows you the portion that was paid by insurance, the discounts for obtaining services within an approved network of providers, and the amount that you will need to pay. Your EOB will show how much of your deductible and out-of-pocket has been met for the calendar year.
You may access your EOB by logging into your health or dental insurance plan carrier's website. If you have questions about the information on your EOB, you should contact your health or dental insurance plan carrier. The website and contact information is on your EOB or your insurance cards.
When will I receive an EOB?
You will receive an EOB every time you obtain medical or dental services. It is important that you show your health or dental insurance ID card whenever you receive services. It may take a few weeks for your insurance carrier to create your EOB.
Do I need to submit payment to my doctor's or dentist's office when I receive my EOB?
An EOB is not a bill. You should not submit payment when you receive an EOB. Your doctor or dentist will send you an invoice after they receive payment from your insurance. The invoice sent to you by your doctor or dentist should match the amount indicated as your responsibility on your EOB.
What should I do with my EOB?
Review your EOB for accuracy and save it in a secure place since it may contain personal health information. Remember to use your EOBs as follows:
If you have a Health Savings Account (HSA), your EOB is an ideal document to:
Estimate how much to contribute to your HSA. Since an HSA is a component of your High Deductible Health Plan, you should be financially prepared to pay 100% of most services, except preventive services (since you must meet your deductible before the insurance will pay).
If you have a Flexible Spending Account (FSA), your EOB is an ideal document to:
Substantiate your claims with the FSA administrator
Estimate how much to put into your FSA on an annual basis
Reminder: Save your EOBs as documentation to show you are using your funds for IRS eligible expenses. | eng | 1b63e2a9-27e7-4d04-a448-9ae5875b3a1f | https://blog.uwgb.edu/hr/2022/11/what-is-an-explanation-of-benefits-eob/ |

In the constantly evolving digital landscape, understanding B2B lead generation is more than just a necessity—it's a core element for any business' growth. But what exactly is B2B lead generation and why is it so crucial for your business? And more importantly, what methods work best in today's digital age?
Definition and Importance of B2B Lead Generation
B2B lead generation is a strategic process that identifies and attracts potential customers who may be interested in your products or services. It's the crucial first step in the sales cycle, transforming a mere interest into a potential business opportunity.
In the B2B arena, the stakes are high. The purchasing process is often complex, involving multiple decision-makers and a myriad of factors to consider before closing a sale. Hence, having a steady stream of quality leads is paramount. It not only fuels your sales funnel but also helps in building brand awareness, fostering relationships with potential clients, and ultimately driving business growth.
B2B Lead Generation Methods That Work Best
While there's no one-size-fits-all approach to B2B lead generation, certain methods have proven to be more effective than others.
Content Marketing: This involves creating and distributing high-quality, relevant content that attracts and engages your target audience. Blogs, case studies, webinars, and whitepapers are all examples of content that can be used to generate leads.
Email Marketing: Despite the rise of social media, email remains a powerful tool for lead generation. It allows you to reach out to potential customers directly, providing them with personalized content that addresses their specific needs and pain points.
Social Media Marketing: Platforms like LinkedIn, Facebook, and Twitter offer an excellent avenue for reaching out to potential leads. They allow you to engage with your audience, share valuable content, and build brand awareness.
Search Engine Optimization (SEO): By optimizing your website for search engines, you can attract organic traffic and generate leads. This involves using keywords relevant to your business and creating high-quality content that answers your audience's queries.
Pay-Per-Click (PPC) Advertising: PPC advertising allows you to reach potential customers who are actively searching for products or services similar to yours. By targeting specific keywords, you can drive highly qualified traffic to your website and convert them into leads.
It's important to remember that the best lead generation strategy is one that uses a mix of these methods, tailored to your unique business needs and target audience. Understanding your customers, their major pain points and how your product or service can address these is the key to a successful lead generation strategy.
How to Choose the Best Lead Generation Company
Just as a skilled chef carefully selects the finest ingredients for his signature dish, selecting the ideal lead generation company for your business requires a strategic approach and a discerning eye. Not every company is a perfect match for every business; it's about finding the one that aligns with your unique business needs, target audience, and marketing goals. So, let's explore the key factors you should consider and the questions you should ask when choosing your B2B lead generation partner.
Factors to Consider When Choosing a Lead Generation Company
Relevance of Data: Your lead generation partner should provide leads that are relevant to your business requirements and ideal customer profile. Ask if they can provide leads who have the necessary budget, decision-making power, and interest in your product or service.
Comprehensive Data Coverage: Ensure the lead generation company provides extensive coverage for your target market and industry. They should have access to contact data on decision-makers and influencers across diverse industries and locations.
Sales Trigger Tracking: Sales success often hinges on timing. Verify if the company actively tracks sales triggers such as job changes, new funding, or product launches, which can indicate a prospect's readiness to buy.
Data Source and Quality: The company should source leads legitimately and maintain high-quality databases. Ask about their data sources and how frequently they update their databases.
CRM Integration: The lead generation company should be able to integrate with your CRM system for efficient lead management and tracking.
Data Protection Compliance: Given the strict data protection rules such as GDPR and CCPA, it's crucial to ensure your lead generation partner is fully compliant.
Ownership of Leads: Some companies might retain ownership of the leads they generate. Look for a company with transparent rules about lead ownership.
Service Flexibility: Your needs may change over time. Choose a company that can adjust their services according to your evolving business needs.
Questions to Ask When Choosing a Lead Generation Company
After considering these factors, here are some key questions to ask potential lead generation partners:
Can you provide comprehensive data coverage for my target market and industry?
How do you track and leverage sales triggers?
What are your data sources, and how often are your databases updated?
Can you integrate with my current CRM system?
How do you comply with data protection regulations?
Who retains ownership of the leads generated?
How flexible are your services to accommodate my changing business needs?
Choosing a lead generation company is a strategic decision that can significantly impact your sales and marketing success. By considering these factors and asking the right questions, you can find a company that not only provides high-quality leads but also aligns with your business goals and marketing strategy.

In the competitive B2B landscape, fueling your sales pipeline with quality leads is the lifeblood of growth. But how do you generate these leads? Let's delve into some effective strategies for B2B lead generation and the crucial role of content marketing, social selling, and advertising in this process.
Effective Strategies for B2B Lead Generation
An efficient B2B lead generation strategy starts with a clear understanding of your target market. Identifying your ideal customer profile ensures your efforts are focused on those most likely to convert.
One proven tactic is content marketing. Creating high-quality, relevant content that provides value can attract potential leads. This content could be blog posts, whitepapers, eBooks, or webinars. The key is to ensure it's tailored to your audience's needs and interests.
Social media marketing is another powerful tool in your lead generation arsenal. Platforms like LinkedIn, Twitter, and Facebook are not just for B2C companies. With the right strategy, they can be goldmines for B2B leads. Engaging with your audience, sharing valuable content, and participating in industry-specific groups can enhance your brand's visibility and credibility.
Email marketing remains a stalwart of lead generation. Building a strong email list and sending out regular newsletters or promotional offers can keep your brand top of mind and incite action.
Lastly, don't underestimate the power of events and trade shows. While the world is increasingly digital, face-to-face interactions still hold immense value. Participating in industry events can put you directly in front of potential leads, giving you the chance to make a lasting impression.
Role of Content Marketing, Social Selling, and Advertising in Lead Generation
Content marketing plays a pivotal role in attracting and nurturing leads. By offering valuable content, you position your brand as an industry authority and build trust with potential customers. It also gives you a reason to reach out and engage with your audience, keeping your brand front and center.
Social selling takes advantage of the vast networks available on social media platforms. It involves building relationships and subtly promoting your offerings without hard selling. It's about demonstrating your expertise and providing value, positioning your business as the go-to solution when a need arises.
Advertising, particularly pay-per-click (PPC) advertising, can give your lead generation a significant boost. By targeting specific keywords related to your business, you can get your brand in front of people actively searching for your products or services. The beauty of PPC is that you only pay when someone clicks, making it a cost-effective option for many businesses.
In conclusion, generating B2B leads is a multifaceted process that involves a strategic mix of traditional and digital tactics. It requires a deep understanding of your audience, a value-driven content strategy, and proactive social engagement. By leveraging these practices, you're well on your way to filling your sales funnel with quality leads.

Having written 370 posts in this autism blog, I sometimes feel that I am becoming a bit of an expert on diabetes (and COPD), which you might think has nothing to do with autism.
I was talking to a friend of mine who has type 2 diabetes; he was telling me about all the other things that are going wrong with him, because he actually has "metabolic syndrome".
What exactly is metabolic syndrome?It really is not a very good name. Sure you can have a metabolic system, but there are going to be many different ones.It looks like in the world of medicine there is just one.
The common problem is that in late middle age many people get overweight around their waist, they also have increased blood pressure, high blood sugar and abnormal cholesterol, or triglyceride levels. This combination of symptoms is called metabolic syndrome and it increases your risk of heart disease, stroke, diabetes and much more. (see chart above, even high uric acid/gout is there)
The clever way to treat metabolic syndrome would be to treat the underlying molecular biology, rather than each symptom one by one.This is not as hard as it may sound, just from reading about the biology of autism, I was telling my friend lots of things he could suggest to his doctor.
If you are going to take a drug to lower blood pressure, why not take the one that also protects your beta cells, the ones that produce insulin, from dying? If you are going to take an ACE inhibitor, why not take the one that will also improve your insulin sensitivity. Instead of taking a glitazone drug that is effective at lowering blood glucose, but has not been shown to reduce the long-term complications of diabetes (such as heart disease and stroke), why not take a single drug that does all three?
Metabolic Syndrome & Autism
It is not surprising to me that research shows that parents who develop metabolic syndrome have an increased likelihood of already having children with autism.
Nor is it a surprise that people with autism, or schizophrenia, have themselves a tendency to various kinds of metabolic syndrome; in fact I would suggest that autism is a metabolic syndrome, just not always the same kind.
It is not a surprise that the drugs produced to treat the classic metabolic syndrome seem to provide such a good hunting ground for autism drugs.
We know that glitazone drugs, being PPAR gamma agonists, should help some kinds of autism and also that PPAR delta agonists may help some with mitochondrial disease. The issue I have with glitazone drugs is their safety in long term use.Another glitazone autism trial is underway in Canada. Glitazone drugs are used to improve insulin sensitivity in type 2 diabetics.
Bezafibrate is getting a well-deserved trial for mitochondrial disease. Through its action on PPAR, where it is a "pan-agonist", it is thought that Bezafibrate should trigger biogenesis of mitochondria. Bezafibrate is an old drug to lower cholesterol.
One very interesting candidate drug for autism is Telmisartan which will be covered in a coming post on Angiotensin II in the brain.Telmisartan is an AngiotensinAT1 agonist, which means it will lower blood pressure, but it does numerous other things. It happens also to be a PPAR gamma/delta agonist.It improves insulin sensitivity and lower blood glucose levels.It also modifies the immune system by reducing Il-17a, an important inflammatory cytokine found elevated in both autism and schizophrenia. It also reduces leptin release and prevents leptin resistance. Leptin levels are high in autism and leptin resistance is feature of obesity.
One of the drugs often prescribed to people with metabolic syndrome is Atorvastatin, which some readers of this blog have found improves the application of cognitive ability in their case of autism.
If I had metabolic syndrome, after losing weight, I would choose Atorvastatin, Verapamil and Telmisartan as my top three drugs; none of which are prescribed to that friend of mine. I would also add a glass of beetroot juice which is vasodilating; it is not a drug, but should do plenty of good. I would use an antioxidant like ALA (alpha-lipoic acid) and use sulforaphane to activate the body's antioxidant genes via Nrf2; many side effects of metabolic syndrome are caused/aggravated by oxidative stress | eng | e388f507-2c91-4867-9ebf-7dbf6cf6b474 | https://www.epiphanyasd.com/search/label/Metabolic%20Syndrome |

Penalties for Illegal Security Services
In South Africa, illegal security services refer to the provision of security-related services without the necessary licenses, permits, or qualifications. These services can include private security, surveillance, bodyguarding, alarm system installation, and other similar activities. Engaging in illegal security services is a serious offense that can lead to various penalties and consequences. In this blog post, we will explore the penalties associated with illegal security services.
1. Criminal Penalties:
Engaging in illegal security services can result in criminal charges and subsequent penalties. The severity of these penalties may vary depending on the jurisdiction and the specific laws governing security services namely PSIRA. In South Africa, providing security services without the required licenses is considered a criminal offense.
The penalties for illegal security services can include fines, probation, community service, and even imprisonment. The exact punishment will depend on factors such as the nature and extent of the illegal activities, any harm caused to individuals or property, previous convictions, and the overall impact on public safety.
2. Civil Penalties:
Apart from criminal charges, individuals or companies involved in illegal security services may also face civil penalties. Civil penalties are typically monetary fines imposed by regulatory authorities or through civil lawsuits filed by affected parties. These fines aim to compensate for any damages caused by the illegal activities and serve as a deterrent against future violations.
Civil penalties for illegal security services can be substantial, especially if there is evidence of harm or negligence. The amount of the fine may be determined based on factors such as the financial gain obtained from the illegal activities, the extent of harm caused to clients or third parties, and any aggravating circumstances surrounding the case.
3. License Revocation and Business Closure:
In addition to criminal and civil penalties, engaging in illegal security services can lead to license revocation and business closure. Regulatory bodies responsible for overseeing security service providers have the authority to suspend or revoke the licenses of individuals or companies found to be operating illegally.
License revocation can have severe consequences for security service providers. It not only prevents them from legally conducting their business but also tarnishes their reputation within the industry. Furthermore, if a company is found to be operating illegally, it may face closure, resulting in financial losses and potential legal actions from affected clients or authorities.
4. Reputation Damage:
Engaging in illegal security services can have long-lasting effects on an individual's or company's reputation. Operating without the necessary licenses undermines trust and credibility within the industry and among potential clients. News of illegal activities can spread quickly through word-of-mouth, online platforms, and media outlets, damaging the reputation of the offender.
Reputation damage can have significant financial implications as potential clients may choose to avoid engaging with a security service provider with a tarnished reputation. Rebuilding trust and restoring a damaged reputation can be a challenging and time-consuming process.
5. Legal Consequences for Clients:
Clients who knowingly engage in illegal security services may also face legal consequences. In South Africa, clients can be held liable for hiring unlicensed or unqualified security service providers. This is particularly true if the client was aware of the illegal nature of the services being provided.
Legal consequences for clients can include fines, penalties, or even criminal charges depending on the specific laws in place. It is essential for clients to ensure that they engage licensed and reputable security service providers to avoid any legal complications.
In conclusion, engaging in illegal security services can lead to various penalties and consequences. These penalties can range from criminal charges and fines to license revocation, business closure, reputation damage, and legal consequences for clients. It is crucial for individuals and companies involved in security-related activities to comply with all applicable laws and regulations to avoid these severe repercussions. | eng | 32d3f404-f4b7-4d49-bb72-c117be3d2b86 | https://www.g5securitysolutions.com/post/penalties-for-illegal-security-services |

Recent advancements in space technology have paved the way for countries and private companies to explore the potential of space resources. India's successful lunar mission, which revealed the presence of lunar water near the Moon's south pole, has sparked a global rush to tap into this accessible natural resource. This race to mine space resources is driven by the economic benefits it offers, including alleviating resource shortages on Earth and promoting sustainability.
The cost of lunar missions has significantly reduced, thanks to reusable rocket technology and spacecraft design advancements. Companies like SpaceX and Blue Origin are developing super heavy lift launch vehicles that can carry large payloads into low-Earth orbit, making space exploration more affordable. Other reusable vehicles are also in development worldwide, signaling a growing interest in space mining.
Space resources primarily consist of lunar volatiles such as water and regolith, which can be utilized locally or exported back to Earth. Lunar water is particularly valuable as a resource for space missions, as it can be split into hydrogen and oxygen, serving as rocket fuel. The lower gravity on the Moon makes extracting and transporting lunar water easier, potentially revolutionizing the orbital economy. Additionally, the Moon's regolith can provide essential materials for future space missions, including food, water, air, and construction materials.
Space resources also hold promise for reducing the environmental impact of terrestrial mining. Metals like nickel, cobalt, and rare earths, crucial for the clean-energy transition on Earth, could be sourced from space, minimizing the need for Earth-based extraction.
However, the pursuit of space mining poses environmental challenges that require careful consideration. The frequent launching of rockets could impact the Earth's atmosphere, and the return of materials from space may have implications for climate change. Moreover, space mining activities could disrupt the delicate space environment, posing risks to spacecraft and astronauts.
As countries and private companies compete to capitalize on space resources, it is essential to strike a balance between the economic benefits and the potential environmental consequences. Sustainable practices and regulations will be integral in ensuring the responsible extraction and utilization of resources in outer space.

Here is a question while I wait for my modem email. (<— That is humor.)
I'm in the U.S. for the sake of this question.
My carrier sends texts about the bill. Saying it's is due in X number of days even though I have already paid in advance. Some days later when they post it in accounting they send another text effectively saying "thanks". Essentially interrupting my day or scaring the shit out of me when driving prompting me to pull over and see what it was. (Because I'm not expecting them.)
Is there a carrier in the U.S. that does not send these texts?
I'll even accept a crappy service area just to avoid these texts.
(When I say "carrier", I mean the company I pay for my phone number regardless of other technical definitions.)
An alternative solution … once you have your Librem 5, can you put in SMS handling rules that e.g. allow some SMS notifications to be suppressed or e.g. allow some SMSs to be filed without showing up as new SMSs at all?
This is by analogy with mail handling rules that some mail clients support.
Once you have control of your own device, you are limited only by your imagination e.g. could use rules to convert an SMS into an email or e.g. could delay the notification if you are driving (phone can sense your speed of movement averaged over the last X minutes?).
In my opinion this is a better solution than changing provider (carrier).
For clarity, I was not suggesting that this is a capability of the device at Day 1 or even X months later. At least though it potentially has that capability, even if you have to write the code yourself. It is your device. You get to decide what it does (and does not).
I'm guessing you are serious. Cough. Have you looked into support for FORTRAN on this platform? A more tricky aspect would be getting suitable APIs and bindings. I'm guessing not too many people are writing APIs that are designed to work well with FORTRAN.
I turn off all notifications except the ones from my credit card transactions. I only get those notifications from them, each and every time I use my credit card, but never any other time. I tell those people who matter to me, to call if anything is urgent. Then I check my text messages when I want to check them. If I ever get a notification and didn't just use my Visa card, I know without even checking that it's about credit card fraud. Nothing else is urgent enough to bother me on someone else's schedule.
I really get bothered when verizon does something involving my phone that only they can do, because of their unique access as my phone provider. The same is true when Microsoft does something in software (a unique rule, feature, or exception to how application software is supposed to work in Windows), made possible because of their special access. The same goes for the little advertising in Android that doesn't go away when you click on the x in the upper-right corner and it doesn't close. All of that will be a thing of the past with the L5. None of them are special and they all need to get in line with everyone else, and go by the rules. If they don't keep the rules, I want to block them completely. The same goes for spoofed phone numbers from robo-callers. Why would I ever choose to do business to someone who lied to me about their identity as a means of violating my boundries (to prevent me from blocking them)? | eng | e15bf350-3553-4767-90d4-70b9c533645c | https://forums.puri.sm/t/annoying-carrier-texts/7236 |
