In my winter round-up at the end of last year, I shared how the Department for International Development celebrated International Day of Persons with Disabilities and asked you to send in your own highlights and photos.
I am pleased that so many departments and agencies got involved, with a record number lighting up their buildings to support the PurpleLightUp movement and to raise disability awareness.
Here are a few highlights from the stories you shared.
Not to be outdone by last year’s interactive dinosaur, Nellie, the Planning Inspectorate, in partnership with Highways England, HM Revenue & Customs, Legal Aid, Ofsted and the Crown Prosecution Service, came up with a creative way to promote hidden disabilities in their Bristol office. As part of a week-long disability awareness event, colleagues were asked to follow a 'Name that Gnome' trail to find out more about each gnome and their hidden disability.
As well as lighting its Victoria Street, London, offices purple to show their support, the Department for Health & Social Care held a week of celebrations, in which they shared their reflections on the progress towards becoming a Disability Confident Leader. They also arranged sessions to share hints and tips on how to support disabled colleagues, which included an autistic colleague speaking about their personal experience of living with this condition, to raise awareness.
Golau porffor fyny (PurpleLightUp in Welsh)
The Welsh Government arranged a programme of events in their Cardiff and Llandudno offices. Highlights of the day included an opening address by the Permanent Secretary, Shan Morgan; discussions on the social model of disability, and on hidden disabilities, and a presentation on the history of British Sign Language.
Purple Allies and celebrity support
The Foreign & Commonwealth Office celebrated by hosting a Purple Allies and Champions panel discussion chaired by Richard Moore, former British Ambassador to Turkey and now FCO Political Director. It included Richard’s wife Maggie Moore, disability campaigner and owner of Turkey’s first professional guide dog Star; Sally Mulready, campaigner on equality issues; and Paralympian Susannah Rodgers MBE – The Accidental Athlete.
The FCO staff network Enable also organised a campaign to reach 1,000 members, and asked colleagues to wear purple to show their support. This included their celebrity Chief Mouser Palmerston, sporting a new purple collar.
How to train your dragon and Dementia Friends
The Ministry of Justice hosted a number of purple-themed events across the UK in the first week of December. They invited Macmillan Cancer Support to discuss ‘Cancer in the workplace’, and held a ‘How to train your dragon’ assistive technology session and a talk from the MOJ Carers Network on how to become a dementia friend. In the regional offices, the purple theme continued with a dress-down day and cake sales, which even included purple drinks.
You stepped up
It’s great to hear about strong participation by government departments and agencies, with staff across the UK and overseas showing their support and coming up with innovative and fresh ideas to celebrate this day. I wish to thank everyone who took part in making last year’s International Day of Persons with Disabilities and the PurpleLightUp movement a great success.
I have particularly enjoyed hearing about your various activities and I am aware that I have highlighted just a few examples of the many initiatives that took place across the Civil Service. Please do feel free to post a comment to let others know about any additional activities undertaken by your own business area to mark the day.
I would encourage you all to build on this activity by continuing to seek innovative ways to build disability inclusion and to raise awareness, not just on International Day of Persons with Disabilities, but throughout the year.
You truly stepped up to the challenge. I look forward to a bigger, bolder and even more purple programme of activities to mark 2019 International Day of Persons with Disabilities later in the year. | <urn:uuid:59a4f43a-00bd-4198-997e-52fc12766c6a> | CC-MAIN-2022-05 | https://civilservice.blog.gov.uk/2019/03/12/how-we-marked-international-day-of-persons-with-disabilities/ | 2022-01-19T10:51:18Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-05/segments/1642320301309.22/warc/CC-MAIN-20220119094810-20220119124810-00690.warc.gz | en | 0.954697 | 823 |

One of the most important steps you can take to relieve symptoms caused by excessive stress and anxiety is to take time for yourself. Time in a float pod takes it a step further.
Just one hour where all outside stimulation including light and sound is cut off allows your body a chance to relax. A break from constant stimuli will provide immediate benefits to your mental and physical wellbeing and will over time compound to reduce chronic issues of stress, anxiety, and depression.
Thanks to the thousands of pounds of pharmaceutical-grade epsom salts contained in the water, the float pod provides a nearly weightless environment. This will help alleviate any fatigue on your muscles and joints and promote regeneration of muscles throughout your body.
Inhibiting the further production of the stress hormone cortisol starts with relaxation. Next the magnesium present in the salt boosts blood flow to all areas of your body which in turn helps increase the output of dopamine, a hormone essential to your current and longterm wellbeing.
Over time, the presence of such issues as migraine headaches, low blood pressure, hypertension, arthritis and depression should begin to subside.

In the business world, a conversion increase of even a fraction of a percent can have a major impact on your overall bottom line. When your goals are narrowly defined and you know that measuring your success can be a difficult process, it is important to go into the search engine optimization process with a realistic understanding of what to expect. How much return should you expect on your investment? And what constitutes a reasonable goal?
The truth is that, because of the trial-and-error nature of SEO campaigns, it is difficult to put a precise number on your goals. That said, what you get out of an SEO campaign is largely dependent upon what you put into it. Your expected output will be heavily influenced by the type of campaign that you run and the money that you put into it.
What should I spend on improving my search ranking?
To complete a conversion, your website must first generate a clickthrough. Your ability to rank highly for a given keyword or keyword phrase will greatly influence your ability to generate clickthroughs. Over the years, many studies have been done to determine the average clickthrough rate at various positions on the Google search results page. The ever-useful Moz.com has done an excellent job of aggregating those studies into this useful table, with results spanning almost a decade:
Obviously, occupying the top search result spot for a given keyword or keyword phrase dramatically increases your clickthrough rate–up to three or four times even just from the second spot, according to some studies. The problem is that getting to that top spot can difficult, time consuming, and expensive. The fact is, the higher you want to rank, the more expensive it’s going to be. Getting from the 50th spot to the 15th spot isn’t hard–but getting from the 15th to the 10th, the 10th to the 5th, and the 5th to the 1st will become exponentially more difficult and costly. The fact is that it simply may not be possible to rise past a certain ranking for some of your keywords–and with the top ranking eating up almost one-third of all clicks on the search results page, sometimes cutting your losses and moving on to the next keyword can be the best course of action.
The keywords you choose matter. Some keywords are searched more often than others. Some keywords generate higher clickthrough rates. Determining which are the most cost-effective for you to target can be a game of trial and error. This is why SEO campaigns are generally measured in weeks, months, and years. It’s impossible to plug-and-play keywords and numbers quickly–you simply need to be able to measure their effect over time. As you might expect, the most effective and obvious keywords will probably be the most expensive.
At this point, it becomes a balancing act between your conversion rate and the amount of money you are spending to improve your search ranking. Once you have generated a clickthrough, it is up to the rest of your website to complete the conversion. If your goal is to sell consumers a product, you’ll need to sell enough products to offset the money you are spending to improve your ranking. If your goal is generate leads, you’ll need those leads to be similarly lucrative. Before engaging in an SEO campaign, it is always a good idea to examine your own website. If you are selling products online, is your checkout process easy? If you want prospective clients to call you, is your contact information clearly visible? An examination of frequently viewed pages and identification of where you lose the most visitors can be critical to the success of an SEO campaign. After all, while getting more visitors to your page is a good thing, you still need to turn them into conversions or, at the very least, leave them with a positive impression and the intention to return.
What about those companies that promise big SEO ROI quickly?
Anyone promising you fast and easy results is probably engaging in unethical SEO practices. While you might not think this concerns you, it does. Marketers utilizing unethical “black hat” techniques can actually hurt your search rankings in the long run. Search engines like Google and Bing have become very good at figuring out when their search rankings are being manipulated, and their response is generally swift and harsh. Your site might even be blacklisted from the search results altogether, and while your SEO company simply moves onto their next client, your company is left twisting in the wind.
A good and ethical marketing firm with organic SEO experience can launch an extended campaign to clean up your site’s code, use effective tags, write compelling content, and help build your backlink profile, all of which will improve your credibility in general, as well as your search ranking for the target keywords. But figuring out which keywords will give you the most bang for your buck will take time, as will moving up the search rankings. Understanding that SEO campaigns are a process is important, but one which has the benefit of a potentially lucrative end result.
Alright, but you haven’t answered the question. What sort of ROI is it reasonable to expect from an SEO campaign?
If there was a set formula to determine the expected SEO ROI for your campaign, it would make our job at CleverLight a lot easier. Unfortunately, it just isn’t that simple. The success of an SEO campaign is simply too dependent on factors such as your conversion metric, site layout, level of competition, and others.
With that in mind, finding the right company to work with can be the deciding factor. A track record of success with SEO campaigns is an indicator that a company knows what they are doing, and companies offering to consult with you before beginning your campaign are always more reputable. Not only is it important for them to know what your goals are, but, for companies like CleverLight Media, ethics come into play. Any company that will take your money before learning anything about you probably doesn’t have your best interests at heart. By contrast, a truly ethical company is one that will not take your money if they don’t think they can make you money.
Using CleverLight as an example, our clients enjoy an average ROI of 135%. While not all of that comes from SEO campaigns, it serves as a solid indicator of a company that knows what it is doing in the web marketing arena. That 135% doesn’t go into our pockets–it goes into our clients’ pockets. While you may not be able to estimate the exact SEO ROI your company will enjoy, you should be able pinpoint the actual ROI of potential marketers’ past clients. Doing so will give you an idea of what sort of company you are dealing with, what level of expertise they have, and what you can expect should you decide to engage with them. In a realm where bumping your conversion rate from just 1% to 2% can double your revenue, knowing who you’re dealing with and feeling confident that they can get you where you need to go can give you the peace of mind you deserve as your business grows. | <urn:uuid:db2c4584-3358-47cd-9aab-d995b2082bff> | CC-MAIN-2022-05 | https://cleverlight.com/seo/seo-roi/ | 2022-01-19T11:39:33Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-05/segments/1642320301309.22/warc/CC-MAIN-20220119094810-20220119124810-00690.warc.gz | en | 0.956077 | 1,452 |

TASTING NOTES: Pale straw in colour, this wine is upfront and round. Crisp natural acidity holds the wine together, finishing firm and dry. This wine is perfectly suitable to be enjoyed now but will age gracefully developing an oily texture in the bottle.
SUGGESTED FOODS: Ocean fresh prawns, crab, scallops and fresh shucked oysters. Also matches beautifully with spiciness in Asian-style salads.

On September 8, 2011, my 5 year old daughter started Kindergarten. She got on the “big girl” bus, along with her brother. She entered a new school, met new children and began her adaption to a new environment. She was resisting all the way, because she loved her old school. She was petrified. I tried to assure her it would get better, but in all honesty, I was afraid as well.
I am sure you all know children (some of them are your own) who are social and confident and excited to make friends. My little girl is super shy and afraid of everyone and everything. I felt so many emotions for her, and I felt like I was starting Kindergarten too. My initial fear stems from issues I have been working out of my daughter since she was about 2 years old.
My thoughts throughout this month since the first day for her has included the same question every day, “Sweetheart, who did you play with today?” She started out with one friend, and then within days decided that she was not her friend because the little girl decided to be friends with someone else. I happen to be friendly with the child’s mother, but decided my little girl must learn an important lesson early, friends will come and friends will go. I was however happy about one important thing, she stopped obsessing over how people look.
My biggest concern with my daughter regarding school has been her obsession with color. She once believed that she could not be friendly with people who were not brown, and had a real issue with color. It was the opposite of her initial reaction to color, where at age 2, she went through this stage of wanting to look like Barbie (blonde hair, blue eyes). I counteracted it with plenty of Princess Tiana, and I ended up with a “black is beautiful and everyone else is not” child. Now, thanks to Kindergarten she is finally realizing that she is beautiful and everyone else is too.
I have realized during the past 20 days, that everything you really need to know you learn in Kindergarten (or preschool depending on the situation). You learn how to make friends and how to share. You learn how to write and read, and count (yes moms, I know you taught your children how to do that by age 3). You learn many life lessons that you use for many decades to come. These lessons help mold you into the adult who can change the world and link all people together. Thanks Kindergarten. | <urn:uuid:6070ebc0-0749-459b-8485-57baaa497cf2> | CC-MAIN-2022-05 | https://cocoamamas.com/2011/09/28/beautiful-cocoa-babies-and-the-first-day-of-kindergarten/ | 2022-01-19T11:43:04Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-05/segments/1642320301309.22/warc/CC-MAIN-20220119094810-20220119124810-00690.warc.gz | en | 0.988989 | 525 |
Zotter – Togo 68% Dark Chocolate
A delicious 68% Togo dark chocolate from Joseph Zotter.
A sweet, dark single origin chocolate using the first ever organic and fair trade cocoa from Togo. Gebana supports 1750 small farmers and together they have started the project for fairness and environmental protection. It is a very important initiative and signifies a small revolution, which Zotter is super keen to support.
Zotter has conched his beans for a total of 16 hours to produce a perfectly smooth bar with his characteristically silky melt. The buttery mouthfeel contrasts with the initial sharp notes in the chocolate. The bar has a deep, roasted aroma that builds towards a finish laden with tobacco smoke.
A sweet, creamy dark chocolate with distinctive cinnamon notes and a malted finish.

April 12, 2021
A creamy but light fruity (cherry and peach) dark chocolate with satisfying rich balanced cocoa flavour that starts a bit smoky/peppery but then mellows. A bit lighter than Bonnat Libanio but at least as satisfying if not more.

Seyi Kuye, who was in a relationship with Toke Makinwa following the collapse of her marriage to Maje Ayida, has gotten married to another lady.
The reason why his relationship with Toke Makinwa broke up is still not known but the split was suspected when Toke was always on social media declaring herself to be single. Reports have it that Seyi Kuye got married to his pregnant girlfriend.
Reacting to the news, Toke Makinwa shared on social media:
“So what should I do now, ehn? Roll over and die??? Scream woe is me, the poor lonely girl ???”.
This was in response to a news site that tagged her while sharing the news. | <urn:uuid:a7eb2942-c147-4336-98e5-72791d1d3126> | CC-MAIN-2022-05 | https://codedwapng.com/2018/05/see-toke-makinwa-reacted-ex-seyi-kuye-got-married/ | 2022-01-19T10:57:36Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-05/segments/1642320301309.22/warc/CC-MAIN-20220119094810-20220119124810-00690.warc.gz | en | 0.986009 | 156 |

Jennie C. Jones RPM (revolutions per minute)
The Glass House
Septmeber to December 2018
Jennie C. Jones: RPM brings together newly commissioned audio collages and works on paper that extend the artist’s ongoing engagement with visual and sonic abstraction. Throughout her work, Jones has mined histories of American Modernism — focusing on Minimalism, avant-garde music, and their corresponding cultural, social and political shifts — in order to highlight the unlikely alliances that emerge among them. Jones describes this approach as “listening as a conceptual practice.”
For this commission, Jones inserts two site-responsive audio collages into the Philip Johnson–designed Glass House (1949) and Sculpture Gallery (1970). In the Glass House, the artist’s durational intervention, titled “revolutions per minute,” employs a harmonious combination of solfeggio frequencies that encourages visitors to consider the aural environment of the transparent pavilion as well as underscores its reverberating cultural influence. In the Sculpture Gallery, the aforementioned sound carries over as an undertone and is transformed by a counterpoint of predominantly black sonic practices from the year 1970, including Alice Coltrane, Alvin Singleton, Milford Graves, and Yusef Lateef. This work, titled “Year of Construction: 1970,” climbs into a crescendo of sound before spiraling back down to the soft tone at the start of the piece, sonically echoing the gallery’s interior patterning of light and winding staircases.
To complement the audio collages, Jones created a series of new works on paper and a limited edition 45 RPM vinyl record containing the two sound works.
In these works, Jones opens a dialogue by integrating the modernist histories embedded in the Glass House site and music by artists whose work reflects social and political issues of that same period. By layering radical music over Johnson’s unconventional architectural experiments, Jones points to a more expansive history of abstraction than has been generally acknowledged – one that includes voices that had been largely excluded.
The exhibition is curated by Cole Akers and supported in part by an award from the National Endowment for the Arts. In-kind support is provided by Bang & Olufsen. | <urn:uuid:1c69a3f9-7532-4d65-a3c4-c098f4129af0> | CC-MAIN-2022-05 | https://coleakers.net/Jennie-C-Jones-RPM | 2022-01-19T10:53:12Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-05/segments/1642320301309.22/warc/CC-MAIN-20220119094810-20220119124810-00690.warc.gz | en | 0.933146 | 473 |

The 30 foot long paper has layers of previous collaborative combative drawing actions, which have been painted over and mended several times. This layer consisting of a “landscape drawing” was created with help from the public at the opening reception of Push/Pull.
Part of the description is as follows.
“You (friend, colleague, stranger, gallery goer, passerby) are invited to help create a landscape by drawing a line from one end of the paper to the other with the provided drawing mediums. There is a challenge however, you must keep the drawing tool on the paper at all times and keep the line at the same height in relation to your body throughout the drawing – even when you run into another person going in the opposite direction. With people drawing in both directions at the same time, difficulties arise when bodies cross paths. Using your body and your determination, please keep drawing until you reach the end of the paper on the other side.” | <urn:uuid:4fd7d399-dbc9-48c5-a055-f4828630660b> | CC-MAIN-2022-05 | https://collaborativecombativedrawing.com/2017/02/02/participatory-landscape-at-incline-gallery-part-of-pushpull/ | 2022-01-19T10:41:29Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-05/segments/1642320301309.22/warc/CC-MAIN-20220119094810-20220119124810-00690.warc.gz | en | 0.954575 | 277 |

Chiva buses are those brightly colored open air buses you see parked outside of the markets in Colombia. These sturdy buses have been crawling over the mountainous roads of rural Colombia since the beginning of the 20th century, hauling farmers, animals, sacks of coffee, plantains and construction materials to and from towns and isolated rural outposts.
Chivas have become a symbol and cultural trademark of Colombian culture. In 2008 they were declared a cultural patrimony.
Before Chivas the farmers relied on horses and carts to transport goods from the mountain farms to town. But in 1908 a Colombian engineer named Luciano Restrepo and a Colombian mechanic, Roberto Tisnes, imported a bus chassis from the USA and began work on what became the first Chiva bus.
In a shop in Medellin, they designed a wood and metal body to sit on a bus chassis. It was the first motor driven vehicle built in Medellin and was driven between downtown Medellin and the neighboring barrio of El Poblado.
The original bus had canvas roofs with four wooden benches inside. Over time, the buses got larger and they added a hard top and a roof rack with a ladder on the back of the bus to allow more room for cargo and people on top. They were also called ‘bus escaleras’ or ladder buses.
The design of the buses has stayed the same over the years. They quickly became standard form or rural transportation lurching down the winding dirt roads of rural Colombia.
Today while the rich farmers have jeeps, Chivas still remain the principal form of transportation for many of the poorer Colombian farmers in the Andean departments of Antioquia, Cauca and Tolima. The buses are still manufactured in Colombian by building or hacking bus bodies on sturdy Ford and Chevrolet truck chassis.
The word chiva means ‘goat’ in Spanish – named after the sure footed animal.
Today, the chiva buses look like something right out of a Disney cartoon. They are painted in bright colors – usually yellow, blue and red – the colors of the flag of Colombia, with colorful decorative patterns, murals and illustrative paintings.
The chiva body is made mostly of wood and metal with wooden benches. Each bench is accessible from the outside permitting passengers to easily slide in and out. When the bus is full the roof is used for the overflow of people and everything else that doesn’t fit inside. Rolled up canvass tarps on the sides can be dropped down during inclement weather to keep the passengers and their cargo dry.
A trip in a Chiva bus is almost mandatory for someone visiting Colombia. The open air concept is great way to experience the Colombian countryside and the communal experience of sharing a bench with local passengers is a good conversations starter.
There are a number of scenic chiva routes throughout Colombia. In the coffee triangle the chiva is still the traditional mode of transportation and in heavy demand on market days.
The favorite chiva bus rides for tourists go from the villages of: Jardin to Salento; Jerico to Jardin and Jardin to Rio Suscio. Each route is around 4 hours long and costs 20,000 – 50,000 COP. But Chivas can be found in almost any mountain village in Colombia slowly loading up at the morning market and after lunch heading to the remote countryside. Catch a ride. Just make sure there will be transportation back to town before you jump on without your bags.
You can also experience the buses in any of the major cities where Chivas have become popular as recreational vehicles called ‘chiva rumberas’ or party buses.
These coaches have been converted into mobile night clubs rented out by tour companies to individuals and groups. Some of these buses are a work of art. A few wooden benches are removed from the center of the bus to permit the party goers to stand and dance to music being blared over speakers. Sometimes there’s a D.J. or even a live band aboard. Beer, aguardiente and rum are served as these party buses cruise around the city stopping at popular night spots. This urban tradition has transcended its Colombian roots and taken hold in cities as afar away as Miami and New York.
Modern transportation will never render the chiva obsolete. The most popular souvenir in Colombia is the small ceramic chiva bus sold in the airports and all over the country.
So take the chiva bus ride when you’re in the Andean mountains of Colombia. Or take a night tour of a Colombian city on a chiva rumbera. Or, at least buy a toy souvenir for your nephew on your way home.

The Tyrant Season 2 finale has come and gone, and through the season, we were introduced to several new characters, including to the resourceful and smart Daliyah, played by Melia Kreiling.
Civil rights pioneer Amelia Boynton Richardson has died at the age of 104. While her passing is very sad, it’s worth it to us to acknowledge her long life and the change she was able to bring to the country by inviting Martin Luther King Jr. to Selma, AL.
Janelle Monáe is SO AWESOME! She’s certainly at the top of my “Women I’d love to Befriend” list.
Shannyn Sossamon has become a part of the Sleepy Hollow cast of characters! She’s playing Pandora, and although there wasn’t a lot of info given on her when I spoke to writer/producer Leigh Dana Jackson, I’m sure we can expect Pandora to provide Team Witness with some answers, but possibly just tons more questions. Pandora is known for her box of infinite possibilities, right?
Viola Davis is smart, kind and important. If you’re a Viola Davis fan, you know what film I’m referencing with that specific introduction.
Sibylla Deen is someone I see a lot of on my TV nowadays.
I am a fan of Freema Agyeman for several reasons:
Halle Berry has a lot of accolades to her name: beloved actress, Academy Award winner, hard-working mother. But she has also added sci-fi heroine to her repertoire.

I have another idea. I know the current situation with the parents isn’t ideal, but you know that’s temporary. So consider:
What do we need, like 15 minutes, 10? Seriously, I think we can safely say we only need 12 minutes total for this.
I will start to mention to my elderly mother and stepfather that I am “seeing ants again.” I’ll mention it a couple of times max.
My Poor Mother’s OCD will be so activated by this alarming news that she will immediately want to call an exterminator. I will tell her I’ll take care of the details.
In the meantime, you go to Home Depot and buy one of those hose apparatuses (apparatusi?) that you use when you have to put Round Up on the weeds.
We set the date and you show up with the Round Up thingy and a dark polo shirt (preferably one with someone’s name on it if possible) and a pair of khakis. Your name can be “Jose.”
You’ll discover an area of intense concern in my bedroom. You’ll say the ant hive is located immediately beneath the flooring just over the door jam in my bedroom. So you’ll have to shut the door for at least 20 minutes, certainly no less (always under-promise and over-deliver).
I’ll claim to be so violently ill that I couldn’t possibly leave the bedroom that long in my current state. And that if Jose is okay with ME and his chemicals aren’t going to kill me, then he can stay and we can just go ahead and close the door.
Both of them are partially-to-completely deaf, especially my OCD mother, which is a mercy for us.
At that point, we have 10-15 minutes to “get rid of some ants.”
You just have to promise to TRY to keep it down. My mother could potentially feel the vibrations and begin collecting trash bags throughout the house, as is her preferred process when having one of her OCD “attacks.” And she’s particularly worried about the trash in my room, what with the ants and all.
But still: what a deal, right? Fifteen minutes of PURE ME for all of $29.99. I’m pretty sure that’s the best damn special Home Depot’s EVER had! | <urn:uuid:a48489a0-6197-4173-a281-72abc61044f0> | CC-MAIN-2022-05 | https://comewordplaywithme.com/tag/erotic/ | 2022-01-19T11:12:59Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-05/segments/1642320301309.22/warc/CC-MAIN-20220119094810-20220119124810-00690.warc.gz | en | 0.949596 | 524 |
History of Invention
Modular Recumbent Tricycle: A New Generation of Human Powered Vehicles
Recumbent tricycles are now well established as a type of a cycle, and their advantages with respect to the bicycle are well known. Yet it is still a rarity to see one on the road. Of course, they will never become more popular than bicycles, but in many cases, three-wheeled recumbent vehicles are more preferable, since they offer more of a leisure-type activity.
These days there are only true enthusiasts who are riding tricycles. Most of them are strong, young men. Why the rest of the people do not want to have and drive a recumbent tricycle? Perhaps the existing models don’t suit their needs?
After some testing and analyzing we have found A FEW MAJOR DISADVANTAGES OF EXISTING MODELS:
1. STORAGE and TRANSPORTATION.
Recumbent tricycles are relatively large.
Like all personal vehicles, they are usually used for short periods, and the rest of the time they must be stored somewhere. This is a serious problem even if you are living in a house with a garage or shed. In the case of a residential building, to store such a vehicle is impossible.
Another problem is the transportation of tricycles by car. Only a few of the existing models can be disassembled (which often involves disconnecting the wheels), while most of the manufacturers do not address this issue at all.
Due to the recumbent position, the driver cannot damp the road shocks as he can do it on a bicycle by standing up on pedals. Roads are often far from ideal and always have some cracks and dents. However, most of the existing models of tricycles have no suspension, or if they do, it is usually very complicated and expensive to make.
A driver of a recumbent tricycle has to keep a side-to-side balance and lean his/her body against the seat while making a turn, or while the vehicle is riding on a lateral slope (all roads have it!), or any uneven road where the left or right wheels jumping up or down. It is quite inconvenient to constantly compensate for the imbalance, support the body with the arms and shift the spine left and right along the back of the seat.
Some inventors are trying to solve this problem, but all of their lean systems conducted by hands, which require good muscles of hands and continuous attention of the driver. Keeping the balance becomes a really hard job.
Most tricycles have a handlebar-based steering mechanism copied, in one way or the other, from a bicycle.
Steering a tricycle is a very different process. The driver’s weight is no longer supported by the handlebar and he does not need to keep the balance of the vehicle. In the case of a tricycle, the steering deals with much greater forces feeding back from the road that tends to turn the bars. This includes rough roads, uneven braking, and any tilt of the trike. Due to a low ratio of the bike-like steering mechanism (about 1), these forces are transmitted to the handlebars without any reducing and, hence, the driver has to apply a significant effort of hands in order to keep the handlebars stable.
This low ratio also makes the steering too sensitive and requires continuous attention and effort from the driver in order to keep the desired direction, especially at high speed.
Besides, the range of a turning angle of the handlebar is very limited, which makes the radius of turning of the vehicle quite large.
Finally, in many cases, the turning of the handlebars is pretty awkward, inconvenient and requires a lot of strength of spine muscles.
Most of the tricycles have hand-operated brakes with levers, which are also borrowed from a bicycle.
Having a bigger mass and lower center of gravity, the recumbent tricycle requires strong and synchronous braking applied to the left and right wheels. Independent braking with two hands cannot be synchronous, and to stop two wheels with one hand would require a lot of muscle strength. Also, having hand brakes means the rider’s hands need to be on them at all times ready to brake in an emergency. Having both hands occupied all the time is not much fun!
So here we are presented with a serious challenge. The hands of a driver are taking care of a number of very important and heavy functions: holding bars to keep the body in balance, moving the bars to steer the vehicle, keeping hands always ready and squeeze hard for braking and, on top of it all, switching the gears from time to time. It would take a lot of concentration of the mind and muscle power in case you suddenly have to perform more than one of these functions at the same time. The hands and arms are just overly busy. It’s no wonder that it’s mostly strong men that are interested in this type of vehicle. Having a sip of water or holding a phone would be too dangerous.
6. LIMITED USAGE.
Most modern tricycles are designed for a single driver with a maximum one basket to carry a small number of goods. For any special purpose, we see a whole special trike designed and built (tandem, passenger, cargo, electric, etc.) and the transformation of one type of tricycle into another is not provided. This significantly limits the scope of use of tricycles, when in fact, they have many advantages and can be used to perform many great functions in the fields of transport and entertainment.
Keeping in mind all the above-mentioned problems and a relatively high price of trikes, there is really no that huge of a reason to own a tricycle. That is why they are not popular.
OUR NEW MODULAR RECUMBENT TRICYCLE DOES NOT HAVE THESE DISADVANTAGES.
All problems are solved the easiest way possible:
– MRT (Modular Recumbent Tricycle) can be folded or disassembled for storage and for transportation inside a car.
– MRT has a simple and comfortable spring-suspended seat, that keeps the position of the driver in balance all the time.
– The tricycle has a car-style steering mechanism with a simple cable reducer that provides easy and precise steering. The radius of the turning of the vehicle is minimal.
– MRT has a leg-operated back-pedaling braking mechanism. This way, braking becomes much easier, simultaneous to all three wheels, more efficient and hands-free.
– Our MRT is a multifunctional vehicle with a variety of configurations. It comprised of a set of basic modules and a variety of additional modules, which can be easily (and without any tools) connected together in the desired configuration.
All of these ideas are new and no one ever used them before!
MRT is very easy to drive. It is convenient for storage and transportation. The driver uses his/her hands only for steering (two fingers should be enough) and switching gears. The torso and neck are relaxed. Only legs need to work hard to turn pedals and brake.
A few adjustments are available: the position of the seat and rigidity of the seat suspension, positions of the headrest, steering wheel, and pedals.
It can be used by a whole family.
Our prototypes of MRT are made very simply at the available facilities just to try out the basic ideas, and they are running so well!
MRT has unlimited potential for further development. With the use of the newest technologies and materials there is a great opportunity for engineers and designers to create much better looking, lightweight and reliable vehicle, and also create more modifications for different groups of users (for kids, women, people with health challenges, etc.)
This tricycle does not have any complicated parts. Our prototypes are built of standard components of conventional bicycles. The design promises relatively simple and inexpensive manufacturing, easy maintenance and replacement of parts. Comprised of compact modules, the vehicle is very convenient for manufacturing, selling, and shipping.
We have built two different prototypes of the MRT. The first, earlier version (2012) has a smaller distance between the cross-tubes – less than the diameter of the wheels (side view). In the second version, the cross tubes are outside of the wheel and allow for fast connection of additional modules from outside of the vehicle. The newer version (2013) also has an unfolding multifunctional seat and other improvements.
Each module has fast operated clamping devices for fixing modules to the cross tubes. Each clamping device comprised a channel, welded to the module, and two clamps for fixing the ends of the channel to a cross tube. This design is simple, lightweight, and provides a very strong connection. We made two kinds of clamps: one is fast but not adjustable, the other is a little heavier, slower to fix, but adjustable.
The vehicle can have two or more serially linked sections, similar to a train, with two or more drivers. From the same modules you can also assemble a trailer of variable configuration.
DETAILED DESCRIPTION of Modular Recumbent Tricycle
1. MODULAR STRUCTURE OF TRIKE.
Modular Recumbent Tricycle comprises basic modules, cross tubes, a seat and, optionally, additional modules. All modules have standardized dimensions, connection, and operation and are connected together by a set of cross tubes. Each module has fast operated clamping devices that attach the module to cross tubes. The length of the cross tubes can be variable, so the width of the vehicle can be increased in order to accommodate whatever additional modules were chosen for a particular task. The variety of additional modules is virtually unlimited. It takes just minutes and no tools to assemble a trike of the desired configuration.
The basic set of modules has middle, left and right modules. The middle module comprises front and back parts, coupled with a folding device. Due to the folding device, front and back parts can be fixed straight for driving, folded for storage or separated for transportation. Left and right modules comprised of a frame and a wheel with brakes.
For storage of the vehicle, all additional modules and the seat should be disconnected. The middle, left and right modules can be shifted close to each other; the middle module can be folded. Also possible to store the trike vertically – just raise the front end and the trike will stand on two back wheels and rear support.
For transportation inside a car, the seat and all modules should be disconnected from the cross tubes. The middle module can be folded or disassembled into two parts.
The power transmission is similar to bikes. Rotation from the pedals transmits by the chain to the rear sprockets with derailleur and then through differential (or “quasi” differential) and intermediate shaft(s) – to the wheel(s).
Benefits of Modularity:
1. Expanding the area of usage. Depending on the current task a vehicle of the desired configuration can be assembled within just a few minutes and without any tools. The examples are: transportation of people (additional drivers or passengers), transportation of goods (through a basket, box, bags, or a platform), use of an engine (gas or electric), attachment of a sail for long-distance rides, a coupling of two or more trikes and trailers.
2. Modularity, unlike transformers, involves the removal of structural elements that are not needed at the moment. This allows keeping the weight at a minimum, which is very important for a human-powered vehicle.
3. Ability to adapt to the special driving conditions: high speed – make the vehicle wider, rough road – change the springs, strong wind – use a sail, rain – put rain hood, sun – use the canopy.
4. Ease of upgrade. The modular structure allows the user to upgrade the vehicle by adding new modules, as well as by replacing any broken modules while keeping the core parts.
5. Ease of repair or replacement by modules.
6. Disassembling into compact modules for storage and transportation in the car.
7. By-modules production (even at different factories, agreeing only on a few basic dimensions/standards), compact transport from producer to consumer, by-modules sale.
Any recumbent tricycle needs a spring suspension (due to a passive sitting position of the driver). One way to make it is a full and independent suspension for all wheels. Unfortunately, this a very complicated and expensive way. We have found an alternative way, which is very simple and inexpensive to make – we suspended only the seat. The seat is free to move not only up and down, but it also now has the freedom to lean from side-to-side and always come back to a vertical position just by the force of gravity.
The modular recumbent cycle has an original “two-point” spring-suspended and leaning seat. Long rear springs allow damping straight up vertical shocks together with side-load forces that affect the upper part of the driver’s body and his/her head when one of the side wheels runs onto an obstacle and the cycle leans sharply. The seat suspended in such a way that the line of the suspension is higher than the center of mass of the sitting driver. Therefore, the seat with the driver always stays about the vertical position even when the vehicle rides on a lateral slope; or leans left or right while turning.
This kind of suspension allows having a real-working head-rest, which is very important because the recumbent position of the driver makes it difficult to keep the head vertically.
The strength of the rear springs and their connections can be variable depending on the driver’s weight and desired level of tilting of the seat. The position of the seat adjusts by the length of a telescopic rod. Additional advantage: this rod takes all of the push-pedal force, so the frame tube is unloaded from this kind of bending force.
The front point of the seat has a hook and a spring suspension with adjustment.
Besides comfort, such suspension allows keeping the tires at high pressure for an easier ride.
The seat is removable. It can be supplied with a seat belt.
3. STEERING MECHANISM.
Understanding that the bike-style steering bar does not work for recumbent tricycles (especially in case of our suspended seat), we chose a car-style steering mechanism. The only task was to make a good high-ratio reducer. Instead of the traditional gearbox (which is heavy and expensive) we’ve made a cable reducer, improving its design step-by-step.
MRT has a car-style steering mechanism comprising a steering wheel, and a simple, compact and lightweight cable reducer.
The primary shaft of the cable reducer rotates inside the threaded bushings. The front end of the shaft threaded in order to guide the winding of the cable and, at the same time, to move the shaft lengthwise keeping the tension of the cable stable. The middle of the cable is fixed inside the hole of the shaft; two ends of the cable are attached to the front of a secondary pulley by a screw. The cable tension bolt is located on the bottom side of the pulley. Two idle rollers direct the movement of the cable.
The high ratio (about 8) reducer allows for easy and precise steering of the vehicle at any speed and in any road conditions (in fact, two fingers of one hand are enough to keep the desired direction!).
The amplitude of turning of the front wheel (from+90 to -90 degrees) makes the vehicle very maneuverable.
The position of the steering wheel has two adjustments: closer or farther from the driver, and higher or lower. The universal joint at the front allows for the steering wheel to be lifted up for drivers in and out.
4. BRAKING MECHANISM.
After observing other models of tricycles we decided to transfer the braking function from hands to legs. Since the start of using of multi-speed gearing in bicycles, many have tried to invent a leg-operated braking mechanism. This turned out to be a challenge, because of the after-brake-releasing and reverse-driving mechanism. We experimented with an ordinary freewheel and got good results. The brake is releasing itself! We decided to leave the reverse-driving since our steering mechanism can turn 180 degrees.
MRT has an original simple leg-operated back-pedaling braking mechanism with ordinary caliper or disk brakes to two or all three wheels. The main part of the braking mechanism is a modified freewheel, fixed to the left lever of the crankshaft. Back turn of pedals engages the ratchet mechanism of the freewheel, reels on the pulling chain and pulls the brake cables. Due to a significant sum of gaps inside the transmission and long and loose chain spans, releasing the brakes happens by itself, because the angle of the initial pedal’s turn is enough to release the brakes before the chains stretch up wheels start to run.
This braking system does not allow the vehicle to reverse. This feature can be useful for applying a parking brake – just enough to move the vehicle a little back.
The releasing device is used in case the brakes are squeezed tightly.
Leg-operated braking, in case of a tricycle, is much easier and much more efficient. It does not only increase the safety of driving but also relieves the driver’s hands from hard work, thus making the riding of the tricycle a lot more comfortable.
Modular Recumbent Tricycle chain transmission is similar to any other tricycle transmission.
The chain transmission of the Modular Recumbent Tricycle is borrowed from a bike, but we added a couple of special features.
Rotation from the crankset and chain is transmitted to the wheel(s) via the intermediate shaft(s). In the shown prototype, we used the simplest option – a piece of square tube (a few pieces of different lengths for different configurations). It can be replaced by a fancier version – a telescopic tube and with plastic or rubber elements for better friction.
“Quasy” differential gear is made of two freewheels, each fixed to the shafts of both wheels.
The crankset base can be set in 2 fixed positions on the frame tube to adjust to the driver’s leg length (the finer adjustment is done by moving the seat). Relevant length of the chain can be gained by adding or removing short pieces with connecting links, or by additional looping of the chain. | <urn:uuid:e9b31864-172b-44e3-b9f5-c3e508efeea5> | CC-MAIN-2022-05 | https://comforider.com/history-of-invention/ | 2022-01-19T11:59:20Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-05/segments/1642320301309.22/warc/CC-MAIN-20220119094810-20220119124810-00690.warc.gz | en | 0.938826 | 3,916 |

For all those following the project before the Covid era, they may have noticed that not enough “new” stuff are announced any more and this is true.
Our life is far far away from being back to normal and our time dedicated to HestiaPi still very restricted to the bare minimum.
So this is a long overdue post to reassure everyone that our passion and interest to move this project ahead is still here. And this is a little teaser of what is yet to come…
- Move to Buster (the latest) Raspbian release upgrading all packages to something very recent
- Move to OpenHAB 3.0
- Move to an OpenHABian distribution - a solution that may combine both above points
Hardware - PCB:
- Use a new PCB with socket for the Pi so that people don’t have to solder the poor thing down
- Moved back to (4) old-style clicky blue-block-type relays - long discussions behind this decision
- 4 LEDs for easier troubleshooting or feedback on each relay state (optional)
- Add a buzzer (optional)
Hardware - Case:
- 3D printing isn’t everyone’s cup of tea and definitely having to move to mass production lines, there was no future with this approach. We will still be releasing .stl files though as 3D printing is the maker’s kingdom for sure
- We designed, tested and improved (iteratively) a set of (6 sides+front and the back=7+1) PCB pieces that solder together to form the well-known hexagonal case. Front and back parts stay firmly together with our beloved PCB pin headers!
Moving to China and up-scaling is still a very high priority - running a second Crowdfunding campaign to fund this move is still being evaluated. | <urn:uuid:3434155f-0338-4c56-b037-d93a18e5d19f> | CC-MAIN-2022-05 | https://community.hestiapi.com/t/an-overall-update/1835 | 2022-01-19T11:23:02Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-05/segments/1642320301309.22/warc/CC-MAIN-20220119094810-20220119124810-00690.warc.gz | en | 0.932936 | 389 |

In order to become a top-class soccer star, you need to be blessed with plenty of skill and natural ability. However, intelligence is also a huge part of the game and an important trait for players to possess. The majority of the world’s elite players possess the ability to read the game and react accordingly. Some players can perform tricks to beat their opponent, but if they can’t finish the play, they are unlikely to maintain a career at the top level.

Anticipating situations is vital and can separate a world-class performer from an average soccer player. This skill is often developed over time and through the repetition of practice and game scenarios. Understanding how an opponent will react during a fast break or anticipating which direction a player is likely to pass the ball takes mental awareness and practice. A lack of awareness in these types of scenarios can cause players to “ball watch” and not track runners. Positional sense is also critical and players should avoid encroaching on a teammate’s space.
Chelsea’s N’Golo Kante is an example of a player who possess intelligence, awareness and ability to dictate a game without extraordinary athleticism. This makes him a rare talent. So much so that his manager Antonio Conte, believed he deserved to win the Ballon d’Or last season. Kante works hard, he gives 100% in every game. His habits of breaking up plays, making tackles and reading imminent danger make him a vital cog on Chelsea’s side of the ball.
Kante has been particularly effective against better opposition during his career and is part of Chelsea’s UEFA Champions League squad. Even still, Manchester City have been favored in February 2018 for Europe’s elite club competition while Chelsea are actually outsiders to pick up the trophy once again.
Time will tell if these predictions turn out to be correct. As one of the best players in the game, Kante can certainly influence the outcome. He is not a goal scorer and with just one goal for every 2,008 minutes of Premier League football as of February 2018. However, his presence of mind and ability to react quickly helps to win many soccer games. He is two to three seconds ahead of the play and always anticipates his opponents’ next move. In the time it takes for a player to receive a pass or run to the ball, Kante has already taken up his position and is able to block or intercept the pass, preventing any further danger.

The likes of Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi possess all the hallmarks of world-class soccer players and they are quite rightly praised for their all-round game. Their ability to read the game did not come naturally, however. Studying the movement of opponents and recognizing the traits and habits of teammates are skills which are developed over time. They must be carefully honed by the individual.
For like-minded offensive players, anticipating where the ball will fall in the penalty area and making the correct run will inevitably lead to plenty of chances. That awareness of how to shake off your marker is a hugely underrated skill and possessing the natural instinct in front of goal can be the difference between a ten goal striker and a prolific scorer.
Reading the game is absolutely essential and any player who cannot anticipate an opponent’s next move is likely to struggle against better opposition. Players should take time to study matches at all levels of the game. While watching matches, it is important to note the positional play of everyone on the field. Make a point of Recognizing the players reactions to various situations. This is a great way to improve cognitive abilities and become a better soccer player. It will not come easily at first, but awareness and anticipation will improve over time. Noticeable all-round improvement in play will likely follow. | <urn:uuid:df38bb9f-6e3f-4b57-aa98-5e8b76b41620> | CC-MAIN-2022-05 | https://completesoccerguide.com/importance-able-read-game/ | 2022-01-19T10:42:49Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-05/segments/1642320301309.22/warc/CC-MAIN-20220119094810-20220119124810-00690.warc.gz | en | 0.970879 | 794 |
As you may or may not know, I am a hopeless romantic. I love love. However, I’ve never actually been in a relationship. Like ever. Am I okay with that? To be honest, no! I want nothing more than to be married and starting a family. Every year I always say that my goal for the new year is to get a boyfriend. Hell last year, my goal was to just go on one little date. Did I make that goal? No. This year, I said the same thing. I said that I’d like to go on a date at least by the end of the year. Well last month, I actually went on a date! I was so shocked and blown away that I actually went on one date, that I actually started feeling a bit hopeful.
Let me back track a little. As you all know, I am hopelessly in love (unbeknownst to him) with Poke’boy for the past…five or six years. Now that I say it outloud…girl, what? But yes I was hopelessly in love with him. I’m still deep down inside in love with him. Anyway, he’s a friend of mine so I don’t want to ruin anything by telling him how I feel but honestly, I just want to marry him and have his little babies. Anyway, a friend of mine told me about an app last year called Hinge and she was telling me about how she met her then-boyfriend on their. I thought to myself sure, why not? I had Bumble on my phone once but deleted it because I’m not comfortable with making the first moves on guys. So at that point, I was just like, hmmm we’ll see. I made my profile and that was it. I barely went on it at all.
During my last bout of depression, I was lonely. I always get lonely around holidays and my birthday, New Years, like any holiday that normally people surrounds themselves with loved ones. When I went home for my uncle’s funeral, one of my cousins suggested I read a book that helped her get married. Well first she asked if I still like white guys and I rolled my eyes and said yes. So when I went back to Orlando, she sent me a book called Why Am I Not Married? Offended? Fuck yeah. I didn’t bother reading it. Then in January she sent me another book called The Rules, which I must admit, I was intrigued because I’ve heard an influencer on Instagram say she used that book in her leveling up journey and it showed her how a man should treat you and how you’re supposed to act around a man, especially one that you’re dating. It took me a while to read that one because I was reading my own book called Swirling: How to Date, Mate, and Relate Mixing Race, Culture, and Creed. I was pretty excited because well for one, I like white guys…well white and hispanic guys really. So I thought it would give me some great incite, which it did. It helped me to see what I could possibly expect when in an interracial relationship.
My cousin kept asking me to read The Rules so when I finally got around to actually reading it, I was disgusted to say the least. Now I will say this, there are some good points to the book, like making sure we have a hobby, and not putting down a man and making him feel like less than and to make sure we’re not the ones chasing after a man. That stuff I get. but the stuff like telling women to put on lipstick to go jogging? No m’am Pam. So needless to say, I hated that book.In the meantime, I’ve been on Hinge and some prospects seemed great but so far have gotten nowhere. I mean I did meet one guy on there, one that I went on the date with but I wasn’t really feeling him like that.
I was just thinking the other day about why was it that dating (at least for me) seems hard. Like I don’t get it. Is it supposed to be hard work when dating? I know one thing for sure that’s held me back a lot in dating is my fear: fear of being alone, rejected, and unlovable. I haven’t had much luck in the romance department since like ever so sorry if I sound like a negative Nancy. I mean anyone who I’ve had a slight romantic situation with was not real. Like Danny was just a fuck boy. He got what he wanted out of me and like an idiot I obliged. I thought, at the time, that I deserve to be treated any better. Then there’s Nick who out of his mouth told me that we would never be in a relationship no matter what happened between us. I thought I could change his mind (like a dummy) and eventually saw that he used me because my self-esteem was really low. Again, I believed I had to take what I could get at that point. Then there’s my current crush who at one point I put so much pressure on him to take care of me emotionally when he wasn’t my boyfriend (and I feel really guilty for that). He once stopped talking to me for three weeks (three long weeks) and eventually, I learned to stop leaning on him so much emotionally (and if you’re reading this, I’m sorry). I mean obviously we’ve been cool since then but still, it wasn’t fair of me to do that to him.
Thank God for growth. I’m not in that mind frame anymore and I wouldn’t want to wish that on my worst enemy. I’m putting the pieces of me back together, but still, I’m lonely. Again, I know I say date yourself and do all the things you want a man to do for you to just do it yourself but man oh man is it lonely. Sometimes I want to be taken out on a date. Sometimes I want a guy to buy me flowers, go to the fair with me, hell have sex with. I feel like there’s nothing wrong with having a little romance in your life.
Alas, here I am. Sitting in my room with my cat, Gryffindor, wishing I was in a relationship. I guess I’ll try to be patient, however, I got some Rose Quartz crystals, some affirmation cards, a journal I write down all of my manifestations in. And I’m still hopping on the Hinge app every now and then. I still have hope that one day me and Poke’boy will go on a date, get married, and maybe pop out two kids together. A girl can dream.
Am I hopeless? You think theres hope for me? Hell, any dating tips? Is love meant to be this hard? | <urn:uuid:a37ef879-a35d-4951-ba76-75ba4e291740> | CC-MAIN-2022-05 | https://confessionsofawallflower14.blog/2020/03/10/why-is-love-so-hard/ | 2022-01-19T10:53:43Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-05/segments/1642320301309.22/warc/CC-MAIN-20220119094810-20220119124810-00690.warc.gz | en | 0.983064 | 1,479 |

We all want to raise happy and successful kids that are going to do amazing things. Here are 6 Easy Peasy Ways to Raise Happy and Successful Kids
6 Easy Peasy Ways to Raise Happy and Successful Kids
Kids are the most important people in the world. They are our future, and they deserve to be happy. However, raising them can be hard work. There are things you can do to create a happy and successful life for your children. Implementing even just a few of these ideas can make all the difference! So get to it – your kids are counting on you!
First, show them how much you care about their feelings by being mindful of what they say or do when it’s hard for them to express themselves. Second, encourage positive thinking with statements like “I know this really tough thing right now will get better soon” or “we’ll find a way around that problem together.”
Raising kids is one of the most rewarding things you’ll ever do in your life. As a parent, you want to do everything you can to help your child be happy and successful–where they start their education matters a lot.
Here are six easy ways to raise happy and successful kids:
Make sure they have a good education.
It’s no secret that a good education is a key to success in life. Kids who attend good schools are more likely to succeed than those who don’t. Make sure your child has every opportunity to get a great education by sending them to the best school you can afford. A good place to get started can be Learn and Play Montessori Preschool.
Encourage them to do their best
No one is perfect, and kids will make mistakes. However, it’s important to encourage them to do their best and learn from their mistakes. Let them know that you’re proud of them when they try their best, even if they don’t succeed.
Teach them how to think for themselves
One of the most important things you can teach your child is to think for themselves. Ask them questions, and get them to challenge your opinions. Let them see the world through their own eyes.
Involve them in your life
Kids love spending time with their parents. If you make time for them every day, they’ll learn independence and build self-confidence. It’s important to let your child know that they’re loved unconditionally by you no matter what happens in their life down the road.
Encourage an active lifestyle
Kids raised with an active lifestyle are happier than those who aren’t. Buy a bike or arrange playdates with friends to be more physically active regularly. Keep moving forward.
Be patient and consistent
Kids can be a real handful sometimes; it’s important to remain calm and patient regardless of what happens, and it’s also essential to stay consistent with rules and discipline. They need boundaries to learn, so give them plenty of love and encourage them.
While raising successful kids can be stressful, the above tips can help you raise happy and successful kids. Of course, this list is just the beginning. Also, don’t forget to teach children how to care about others; this can be achieved by teaching empathy and having conversations about other children’s emotions in different situations. | <urn:uuid:1c6d30d8-2055-43b4-bbed-3bae2a89e1bf> | CC-MAIN-2022-05 | https://conservamome.com/6-easy-peasy-ways-to-raise-happy-and-successful-kids/ | 2022-01-19T11:20:13Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-05/segments/1642320301309.22/warc/CC-MAIN-20220119094810-20220119124810-00690.warc.gz | en | 0.965968 | 700 |
All members of our Japan study tour are safely back in the UK. The last three days of the Japan study tour were extraordinary, and of course the full horror is still unfurling of the impact of the tsunami including on the nuclear power station at Fukushima. Events and emotions for us went something like this:
We finished our study tour at lunchtime on the Friday. The week had included visits up north to nuclear power stations under construction as well as meetings in Tokyo with many of the big contractors – including a fascinating visit to Shimizu’s research institute to see their latest earthquake-resistant buildings, very impressive. We had the afternoon off to see some sights or buy presents, and the party split up into smaller groups.
At 2.56, I was in my hotel room, with the TV on to enable an internet connection. A blaring sound came out of the TV and a red notice appeared on the screen, in Japanese. This awful sound is seared on my mind for ever more – it is the earthquake warning, and it comes about 30 seconds in advance of every earthquake of any size….. At first, it was terrifying – the 6th strongest earthquake ever and Japan’s biggest, 800 times more powerful than the Christchurch one – I was on the 10th floor of our hotel and it was like being on a small boat in mountainous seas, I eventually ran down the fire escape and got out to the street to watch the buildings swaying by 15 feet or more. The quake lasted some 7 minutes. It transpires that the island of Japan moved by 6 feet…???!!!! Elsewhere, one of our group saw cars lifted off the ground, and Jenefer from Balfour Beatty Vinci had the wit to film a temple shaking. People went back inside after half an hour or so, and I collected some stuff from my room, but the next hour saw six ‘after-shocks’ all stronger than Christchurch, so it was no fun at all and I soon went back outside. At last I found one of our tour party, and we went for a coffee and then to the hotel bar.
Next it was blitz-like, as we regrouped. Half found our way to the hotel bar within 1-2 hours, but the others had to hike 10 miles or more via the British embassy for a recovery halt. Others had been in meetings downtown, 3 of them even carried on with a meeting (?!) and so found themselves under tables during aftershocks. We began to think about a recovery plan as Tokyo became gridlocked and all planes, trains and buses ceased to run. We had been due to fly home the next morning, but it soon became apparent that all flights were cancelled or delayed. Black humour pervaded.
Then there was the horror and shock as we watched the impact of the tsunami on Japan’s eastern coast via the gripping live news coverage live on TV in the hotel bar, for many hours. This shock continues as we see more and more of the coverage now we are back in the UK.
Next it was impressive as we watched Tokyo stoically return to business as usual. Many office workers had not been able to get home so had slept in their offices. We saw that the city was virtually unscathed by such a huge tremor and the 200 after-shocks over the next 2 days, which continued to un-nerve many of us. Some of us decided to stay on the ground floor, and we set up a camp. Some went upstairs to sleep at one point, but then another big quake at 4am brought 7 of us back down to the ground floor and there we stayed until the morning.
The next morning the gridlock eased and the airports re-opened, so many of our party decided to head for the airport. Information about flight times was available, but unclear, and the journey for many was grim, 8 hours in a taxi and then 24 hours on the floor at the airport. Others were luckier, leaving it later and getting to the airport in normal time. Still little evidence of any damage in Tokyo – except a bent mast on the main TV tower! Finally, relief as the plane took off and the joy of returning to solid land which doesn’t rock or shudder under your feet every few minutes. But ultimately deeply worrying, as the nuclear power station story unfurled – not a station we had visited when in the same region 3 days earlier, but an incident into which many of our party had huge technical insight but needed our reports via emails and texts of the live TV coverage to understand it.
Fingers crossed for our new friends and colleagues in Japan, they are such a kind and considerate population and do not deserve this. | <urn:uuid:daf8e02a-ecbb-4b3e-8d11-fddb37bac43d> | CC-MAIN-2022-05 | https://constructingexcellence.org.uk/the-march-2011-constructing-excellence-study-tour-to-japan/ | 2022-01-19T10:05:47Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-05/segments/1642320301309.22/warc/CC-MAIN-20220119094810-20220119124810-00690.warc.gz | en | 0.984018 | 969 |

Even the most experienced cyclist can attest to the fact that at least once in their riding career, their foot has slipped off the pedal. It can happen if you’re not paying attention, having an intense ride, or simply by accident. When this happens, it can be quite alarming and it can cause a hiccup in the flow of your ride. YOSUDA offers cage pedals which are ideal for optimal safety and comfort. The adjustable covers move to fit your feet. This provides support and won’t let your feet easily slip around during your ride.
the Yosuda’s adjustability is impressive. The handlebars can be adjusted 2 ways and the padded seat has 4 adjustable options with the height ranging from 25 to 35 inches.
The seat is contoured and padded and the pedals have an adjustable caged-toe design, which is great for accommodating different feet sizes.
The height of seat and handlebars are adjusted using the adjustment knobs on their posts. You undo them and pull to release the pin from the preset holes in the adjustment pole, you then slide pole into position and re-insert holding pin into the hole after re-aligning and tighten into place. It is simpler than I’ve written and is a common method of adjustment for exercise bikes.
It is a quiet bike apart from low whooshing sound that won’t disturb others in the house even when they are asleep in another room. There may be only a little vibration from the bike so you should be okay using it an upstairs an apartment and an exercise mat will make it doubly sure that you don’t disturb anyone in your home or below you.
Resistance is used to make the pedaling harder is provided by felt wool pad that sits on top of the flywheel at the front of the bike. The amount of resistance is controlled by the tension knob at the front of the bike near the water bottle holder.
To increase or decrease you turn this knob. It can go from very easy to very hard. The increase is incremental and you can place it to the amount you want.
The bike won’t add too much to your cleaning chores. It is important to keep it clean to stop sweat in particular starting to corrode the bike. It takes a quick wipe down with a damp cloth to do this. It shouldn’t drop anything on your floor other than sweat and dust from the pad but an exercise mat can help prevent any damage to your floor from any movement or dirt.
The bike comes with a couple of accessories:
Media Tray There is a spot just below the console with a holder for your media devices. It can easily fit a smart phone for watching videos. It’s not really designed for anything much larger.
If you want to put an ipad or larger tablet then you can have a bit of a struggle as you need to balance it up against and covering the console. It will be at more of tilt than you might want making it difficult to read.
Water bottle holder This is situated around the middle of the bike. It puts the bottle in easy reach when in the seat without stretching too much. It fits a small water bottle comfortably but it can be stretched for larger ones – just makes it a little harder to put the bottle back when cycling.
The positioning does require you to be a little careful when getting on and off the bike. If you step through rather than swing leg over the back you may find you are kicking the holder and break it off or have the bottle disappearing to the other side of the room.
How to assemble Yosuda indoor cycling bike stationary – cycle bike with iPad mount?
You are required to add the stabilizer bars, handlebars, support posts, seat, pedals and console to the frame. It is much easier to put together than most kit set furniture.
The delivered product weighs about 69 lbs. It can be helpful to have 2 people complete the installation of the parts. It makes fixing and holding easier but it can be done by one person.
It is important that care is taken over the installing of the pedals and the correct one is attached to correct side of the bike. The left pedal has a reverse thread and needs to screwed counter-clockwise and the right is turned clockwise. This is normal for bikes and prevents them coming undone as you pedal. This may help stop the issue that some customers have had with pedals coming undone or the thread being stripped.
The video below goes through the assembly process and then a brief user review of the bike from 5:50.
Yosuda indoor cycling bike stationary – cycle bike with iPad mount Performance review
The Yosuda has an excellent exercise quality that closely resembles that of a spin bike that you might find at the gym. It has an upright style that demands an athletic and serious approach with a belt-driven 35 lb flywheel and an adjustable pad to control the level of resistance.

Yosuda indoor cycling bike stationary – cycle bike with iPad mount customer review
Happy with this bike!
We received this bicycle fairly quickly and my husband was pretty surprised at how easy it was to put together! The only thing I wasn’t sure about was how comfortable the seat was going to be. We are over the age of 65 and most of the bikes we looked at had the skinny hard seats. So we tried it out for a couple weeks and since we both have back problems, we decided it would be better to get a wider seat. It’s much better now and I can ride it a lot longer than before. The ride is very smooth and pretty quiet. We are glad we decided to get this bike for exercising and recommend it to anyone.By ashley s. at yosudabikes.com

1. Schwinn 170 Upright Bike Series
An adjustable seat and ergonomic handlebars — with integrated heart monitors — and wheels for portability make for a feature-heavy and relatively affordable at-home fitness solution from a leading brand like Schwinn. The LCD screen comes with 29 included exercise routines — no trainers here for smart workout but the bike can react with resistance to your heart rate, allowing for up to four different user profiles.
2. Sunny Health Fitness Indoor Exercise Cycle Bike
This relatively budget-friendly option offers an adjustable resistance knob — and doesn’t require a membership fee. With that, it lacks some of the bells and whistles we’ll see below. Whether you require those is a personal preference, of course: There’s no screen. And the chain drive may make it slightly noisy, although you have the option to upgrade to the belt drive option instead. | <urn:uuid:8d588532-03de-47c1-9d76-af104396014a> | CC-MAIN-2022-05 | https://consumerreviews.store/yosuda-indoor-cycling-bike-stationary-cycle-bike-with-ipad-mount-review/ | 2022-01-19T11:37:55Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-05/segments/1642320301309.22/warc/CC-MAIN-20220119094810-20220119124810-00690.warc.gz | en | 0.917541 | 3,307 |

The septic system is an effective, long-standing method for collecting, treating, and disposing of sewage from rural and suburban homes and businesses. Septic systems are used in every county in North Carolina. Nearly 50 percent of the state’s homes have them. This fact sheet will answer some typical questions about septic systems and their maintenance.
Why Use a Septic System?
Septic systems are used when centralized sewage treatment plants are not accessible in a community. They safely treat and dispose of wastewaters produced in the bathroom, kitchen, and laundry. These wastewaters may contain disease-causing germs and pollutants that must be treated to protect human health and the environment. Septic systems are usually a permanent solution to wastewater treatment and disposal. Therefore, they must be properly used, operated, and maintained by the homeowner to assure the long-term performance of these systems. Even when used as a temporary wastewater treatment solution until sewer lines are extended to a community, special care and maintenance are needed for septic systems so that they don’t pose a risk to public health or the environment.
What Is a Septic System?
Several different types of septic systems are available, each with its own design. The traditional, conventional system is the one that has been most commonly used in North Carolina up until the past decade (Figure 1). It consists of three main parts: the septic tank, the drainfield, and the soil beneath the drainfield.
The septic tank is a watertight container about 9 feet long and 5 feet tall. It is buried in the ground just outside the home. The tank is usually precast from reinforced concrete, although tanks made from plastic or fiberglass may be seen on occasion. While a tank is typically designed with a 1,000-gallon liquid capacity, its size is legally determined by the number of bedrooms in the home. The tank temporarily holds household wastes and allows a small amount of pretreatment to take place (Figure 2).
What Takes Place in the Septic Tank?
All of the wastewaters from the home should flow into the septic tank. Even waters from the shower, bathtub, and washing machine can contain disease-causing germs or environmental pollutants. As wastewater flows into the tank, the heavier solid materials settle to the bottom (forming a sludge layer), and the lighter greases and fats float to the top (forming a scum layer). The tank’s primary purpose is to retain the solids. After a retention time of about two days, the liquid portion (the sewage effluent) flows out of the tank through the outlet pipe. The retention time is necessary for separation of the solids from the liquid and for anaerobic digestion of the solids to begin in the septic tank.
An outlet baffle (or a sanitary tee at the outlet end) prevents solids from flowing out with the liquids. Newer septic systems installed since 1999, however, include an effluent filter in the septic tank. These are installed in place of the sanitary tee at the outlet end of the septic tank (in the second compartment shown in Figure 2).
What Happens in the Drainfield and the Soil?
The purpose of the drainfield is to deliver the liquid sewage effluent to the soil. The real treatment of the wastewater occurs in the soil beneath the drainfield. Sewage effluent flows out of the tank as a cloudy liquid that still contains many disease-causing germs and environmental pollutants. Effluent flows into the perforated pipe in the trenches, passes through the holes in the pipe, and then trickles down through the gravel to the soil (Figure 3). There are also “gravel-less” trenches used where plastic louvered chambers, polystyrene aggregate, tire chip aggregate, or large diameter pipes are used in place of the gravel aggregate. These materials provide a void space in the trench to allow distribution of the effluent to the trench bottom. As sewage effluent enters and flows through the ground, soil particles filter out many of the bacteria that can cause diseases. The soil adsorbs some of the smaller germs, such as viruses, until they are destroyed. The soil can also retain certain chemicals, including phosphorus and some forms of nitrogen.
A special zone, called a biomat, forms in the upper 1 to 6 inches of the soil at the soil/trench interface just below the trench bottom. This biomat zone is useful. It helps remove many of the germs and chemical pollutants. If the solids accumulating in the septic tank are never pumped out, however, they can flow into the trenches and accumulate into an intensive biomat that becomes too thick. When that happens, the biomat completely clogs the soil and does not allow the sewage effluent to flow out of the trench. An improperly maintained system will fail and cause untreated sewage to completely fill the trenches and come out on top of the ground or back up into the home in its plumbing system.
Where Can a Septic System Be Used?
A centralized sewer system with a large sewage treatment plant usually discharges treated wastewater into a body of water. On the other hand, a septic system depends on the soil around the home to treat and dispose of sewage effluent (Figure 3). For this reason, a septic system can be used only on soils that will adequately absorb and purify the effluent. If a septic system is installed in soil that cannot do so, the effluent will seep out onto the soil surface overlying the drainfield or back up into the home. In addition to causing an unpleasant smell, this untreated sewage can pose health problems.
In some cases where the soils do not adequately absorb the wastewater, the toilets and sinks might not drain freely. If the soil can absorb the effluent, but not treat it, or if the trenches are installed directly into groundwater or bedrock, the sewage may contaminate the groundwater. Because the underlying groundwater serves as the source of drinking water for your well or possibly your neighbors’ wells (Figure 3), it is very important that the system be installed in the proper soil conditions and that the septic system is correctly used, operated, and maintained.
What Kinds of Soil Conditions Are Best Suited to a Conventional Septic System?
Gently sloping, thick, permeable soils with deep water tables make the best sites for the traditional, conventional septic system and simple modifications of it. The soil should be a uniform brown, yellow, or bright red color. It should not have spots of gray colors that often indicate the soil becomes excessively wet or that groundwater comes up close to the ground surface during the wet times of the year. The soil texture should be neither too sandy nor too clayey, and it should have good aggregation, or structure (that is, a handful of the soil should easily break apart into small aggregates).
Areas that are unsuitable for conventional septic systems have rock close to the surface, very sticky clays, soil layers that restrict the downward flow of water, or areas with shallow groundwater. These factors would prevent a conventional septic system from working properly.
What About Other Types of On-Site Systems That Are Alternatives to the Conventional System?
Other types of on-site systems are sometimes used on sites where the soil is not suited to a conventional system. Where soils are too wet or too shallow for the conventional system, the drainfield might be placed very close to the ground surface in the upper layers of the soil. In some wet soils, artificial drainage around the septic system lowers the level of the shallow water table. On some clayey soils that have a thick sandy surface, the low-pressure pipe (LPP) system provides an alternative.
On some soils that are not deep enough to provide adequate treatment of the sewage effluent, it may be possible to use an advanced pretreatment unit to supplement the soil’s treatment capacity. Examples are fixed media biofilters such as a sand filter, peat filter, textile filter, or porous foam biofilter or mechanical aerobic treatment units that bubble air into the sewage itself. Most of these pretreatment units are installed between the septic tank and drainfield. They provide better purification of the wastewater than is provided by the traditional septic tank alone. Some sites may need more sophisticated methods of distributing the sewage effluent within the drainfield itself using a pressure manifold, LPP, or drip irrigation system. These systems use pumps, special controls, and specially designed pipe networks that can improve the wastewater treatment in the soil. In other situations, it may be cost effective to collect the wastewater from several homes in an area or subdivision by using a cluster system. This type of system has a drainfield located in a common area within the best-suited soils in the tract of land. These newer and more sophisticated types of on-site system options can often provide a better wastewater treatment solution for a particular building lot, or a tract of land, than either the traditional, conventional septic tank system or large-scale, centralized public sewers.
How Do I Know if My Site Is Suitable for a Septic System?
North Carolina has more than 400 different kinds of soil, and a 1-acre lot can contain several different soil types. Because many of these soils are unsuitable for conventional septic systems and even unsuitable for more advanced or alternative on-site systems, you should always obtain an improvement permit (I.P.) before purchasing a lot that you intend to build on. You will submit an application and a site plan to the county health department. The environmental health specialist (sanitarian) will conduct a comprehensive soil and site evaluation and either issue or deny the permit. If an I.P. can be issued, you will also need to obtain a construction authorization (C.A.) before a building permit can be issued.
If you are interested in developing a tract of land to subdivide, you should hire a licensed soil scientist to conduct preliminary evaluations and advise you on the location of suitable soils and lot configuration. You can obtain additional information from the Cooperative Extension publication AG-439-12, Investigate Before You Invest.
How Large Is a Typical Drainfield?
Usually, the drainfield for a home can fit within the front yard or the backyard of a typical 1-acre home site. Sometimes smaller lots can be used. The precise area requirements will depend upon the kinds of soils at the home site, the size of the house (the number of bedrooms), the topography of the lot, and the type of on-site system used there. A site with clayey, slowly permeable soils needs a larger drainfield to absorb the sewage effluent than does a site with sandy, permeable soils. A home with five bedrooms will need a larger tank and drainfield area than a home with three bedrooms. A rental property at the beach may require a larger drainfield than a similar-sized permanent residence with the same number of bedrooms. A home using one of the newer, more advanced types of on-site technologies may be able to use a smaller area for the drainfield than if a conventional septic system is installed. Adequate land area must be available to achieve adequate setback distances from any nearby wells, springs, streams, lakes, or other bodies of water located either on the lot or off-site.
There also must be enough area to install a second system, called a replacement system, in case it is ever needed. This replacement area (sometimes called a repair area) also must have acceptable soil and site conditions and must be left undisturbed and available for system replacement. Be aware that the type of on-site system required for use in the repair area could be a completely different, more sophisticated type of on-site system. Hence, if that repair area is ever needed, you might have to install a more expensive system than the original system installed when the lot was first developed.
What Legal Requirements Regulate Septic Systems?
State law requires that soils be evaluated by the local health department and that an I.P. and a C.A. be issued before house construction begins or the septic system is installed. The I.P. allows the site to be used, while the C.A. determines what type of system must be installed. Sometimes these are issued at the same time by the health department. An I.P. is good only for five years unless it is renewed, or unless it is issued under special conditions for a lot that has been professionally surveyed. If a permanent I.P. is issued, then you have some limited guarantee that the lot can be used (even if the state rules change), assuming that the conditions on the lot or the intended use don’t change. Nevertheless, the type of system that will be required as well as home size and location are not assured until the C.A. is issued. Contact your local health department to be sure that you follow the correct procedures and that you are fully aware of the limitations that will protect your investment. Also, the installation must be approved by the health department and an operation permit (O.P.) must be issued by the health department before electrical service can be permanently connected to the home and the septic system put into use.
Once the home has been occupied and the system put into use, you will need to contact the county health department if you plan to add on to the home, install a pool, build an outbuilding, or engage in activity that requires a building permit. First, obtain an authorization from the county health department to make sure that the septic system and repair area remain intact and are properly sized for the proposal.
What Maintenance Is Needed?
Both the septic tank and the drainfield must be properly maintained for the standard conventional septic system. With conscientious maintenance, the system should work correctly for many years. Such maintenance begins with water use and waste disposal habits. Your family will determine which materials enter the system, so you should establish family rules for proper use and maintenance. The suggestions outlined in the box will save you anguish and money when applied to most conventional systems.
If your system has an effluent filter, it will need checking and servicing approximately every 2 to 3 years. While this could be done by a homeowner, it is a messy, unpleasant task and there are potential safety issues because of the germs in the sewage and toxic gases. For most people, it would be appropriate to hire a company that specializes in septic system maintenance and service to inspect and clean the effluent filter.
Special types of pretreatment units and drainfield distribution technologies also must be carefully maintained for the more advanced, newer technologies described earlier. These newer technologies will be more expensive to operate and maintain than the traditional, conventional septic system. Most advanced on-site and cluster wastewater treatment systems require regular inspections and professional maintenance. Research conducted in North Carolina has shown that about 40 to 50 percent of the advanced systems will fail within 6 years if this maintenance is not provided. Therefore, in North Carolina, a professionally trained, state-certified “subsurface system operator” hired by the homeowner is required by the O.P. to provide the needed inspections and maintenance for advanced technologies. For more information about these requirements, contact your local health department or the state Water Pollution Control Systems Operator Certification Commission.
Note, however, that individual homeowners are allowed to take the same training programs and state licensing exam as the professional operators. If they pass the exam, they can operate their own system by themselves. Because this generally is not done, most homeowners will have to pay for this service if they have one of these more advanced technologies.
Regardless of whether a professional operator is hired, it is the home-owner’s responsibility to assure proper use, inspection, operation, and maintenance of any type of on-site wastewater system.
|Tips for Maintaining Your Septic System
Will I Need to Pump the Tank?
Yes. After a few years, the solids that accumulate in the septic tank should be pumped out and disposed of at an approved location. If not removed, these solids will eventually overflow, accumulate in the drainfield, and clog the pores (openings) in the soil.
This blockage severely damages the drainfield. Although some clogging of soil pores slowly occurs even in a properly functioning system (the biomat described earlier), excess solids from a poorly maintained tank can completely close all soil pores so that no wastewater can flow into the soil. The sewage effluent will then either back up into the house or flow across the ground surface over the drainfield. If this happens, you may need to construct a new drainfield on a different part of your lot. Pumping the septic tank after the soil drainfield has become completely clogged will not rejuvenate the system. It will provide only a few days of reprieve until the tank fills up again. Once the soil has become completely clogged, it is usually necessary to install a new drainfield or an advanced pretreatment unit, or both. This can have a significant negative effect on your landscaping and yard, as well as being expensive. An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure with septic systems.
How Will I Know When to Pump the Tank?
The frequency with which you will need to pump depends on three variables: the tank size, the amount of water used by your family, and the solids content of your wastewater. If you are unsure about when to have the tank pumped, have a professional operator observe the rate of solids accumulation in the tank each year. He or she can clean and replace the effluent filter cartridge in the tank at the same time. The tank should be pumped if the sludge layer at the bottom of the septic tank has built up to within 25 to 33 percent of the tank’s liquid capacity or if the scum layer in the tank is more than 4 to 6 inches thick. Therefore, a typical 1,000-gallon tank with a 4-foot liquid capacity should be pumped when the solids reach 1-foot thick in the tank bottom. If the tank is not easily accessible and the rate of solids accumulation cannot be checked yearly, then you may wish to inspect and pump it according to the frequency guidelines in Table 1. Your local health department should be able to tell you the size of your tank. When inspecting the tank, check the effluent filter (or for older systems check the sanitary tee or the outlet baffle to be sure that it has not broken off and dropped into the tank). Also, be sure to have both compartments of the tank pumped (note the two compartments shown earlier in Figure 2).
If the septic system is not used very often (as in an infrequently used vacation home with a correctly sized tank), it will probably not need to be pumped as frequently as indicated in Table 1. If you use a garbage disposal, the tank may need to be pumped more frequently. After a few inspections, you should be able to adjust the schedule according to the rate at which solids accumulate.

What Should Not Be Put into the Septic System?
Make sure you are aware of the types and amounts of extra waste materials that are poured down the drain. Limiting the use of your garbage disposal will minimize the flow of excess solids to your tank. Garbage disposals usually double the amount of solids added to the tank.
Do not pour cooking greases, oils, and fats down the drain. Grease hardens in the septic tank and accumulates until it clogs the inlet or outlet. Grease poured down the drain with hot water may flow through the septic tank, but then it can clog soil pores completely and ruin the drainfield.
Pesticides, paints, paint thinners, solvents, disinfectants, poisons, and other household chemicals should not be dumped down the drain into a septic system because they may kill beneficial bacteria in the septic tank and soil microorganisms that help purify the sewage. Also, some organic chemicals will flow untreated through the septic tank and the soil, thus contaminating the underlying groundwater.
If your home has a water treatment system, such as a water softener, the discharge pipe from the backwash should not be connected to the waste plumbing system or septic tank.
Are Septic-Tank Additives Necessary?
No. These products include biologically based materials (bacteria, enzymes, and yeast), inorganic chemicals (acids and bases), or organic chemicals (including solvents). Research conducted to date on three of these types of bacterial additives has not shown any reduction in the rate of solids buildup nor increases in bacterial activity in the septic tank. Therefore, they do not seem to reduce the need for regular pumping of the septic tank. Some additive products contain organic chemicals and may even damage the drainfield or contaminate the groundwater and nearby wells.
Is Special Care Needed for the Drainfield?
Yes. The drainfield does not have an unlimited capacity. The more water your family uses, the greater the likelihood of problems with the septic system.
Water conservation practices can help reduce the amount of wastewater generated in the home. Periodically check your plumbing for leaky faucets and toilets. Uncorrected leaks can more than double the amount of water you use. Many soils can absorb the 200 to 250 gallons of sewage usually produced each day by a family of four, but these soils would become waterlogged if an extra 250 gallons were added. For more information on this subject, see North Carolina Cooperative Extension publications WQWM-75/HE-250, Focus on Residential Water Conservation and WQWM-76/HE-213, Water Management Checklist for the Home.
Be sure that foundation drains, roof waters, gutter waters, and surface waters from driveways and other paved areas do not flow over the septic tank or the drainfield. Careful landscaping can help direct excess surface waters away from the system.
The septic system is an efficient, inexpensive, and convenient method for treating and disposing of household wastewater. Because not all soils are suited for conventional systems, comprehensive soil and site investigations must be performed before you purchase any land.
Septic systems will adequately absorb and purify wastewater if they are properly maintained.
Contrary to popular belief, septic systems are not maintenance free. Money that is saved by not paying a monthly sewer bill should be set aside for regular inspections and maintenance. A few precautions can save you anguish and money. Reducing water use, avoiding grease, cleaning the effluent filter, pumping the tank periodically, and properly landscaping the yard to keep surface water away from the tank and drainfield are inexpensive precautions that can help assure your system a long life. The North Carolina Cooperative Extension publication AG-439-22, Septic System Owner’s Guide, summarizes some important day-to-day management and periodic maintenance activities to improve your system’s longevity. When properly located and maintained, your system should provide years of trouble-free, low-cost service.

I’m not a big sports fan at all. I mean I’ll watch the World Series if the Yankees are in it. I’ll watch the Super Bowl…but not really, I don’t even care about the comericals, they haven’t been that great in recent years. The only thing I can even consider to be a sport (and it is more sport entertainment then just sport) is Professional Wrestling. But this, which I found off of CNN.com, confirms how crazy fans can be.
We’ve all seen sports fans tattooing (is that even a word) their favorites sports teams symbol on their bodies, we’ve seen the obsessed fans painting their faces, we’ve seen the jackets and the jerseys and all the stereotypical things that idiot fans do for their teams…even if the team never wins (or worst wins till it is most important **cough EAGLES cough **).
Anyway, now Columbian soccer fans can be burried in a coffin that has their team’s colors on it. What fucking lives these people must live that they would want that. I don’t think I’ll have any special color or theme for my coffin. I can only imagine this craze spreading over here…in fact I’m shocked that in this country people haven’t thought about this yet. Someone being burried in a giant football or a coffin that literally has the symbol of their favorite baseball team would probably be how this concept will be translated over here.
Here’s the article, plus picture:
Colombian fans can get caskets in team colors
Posted: Wednesday April 20, 2005 9:24PM; Updated: Wednesday April 20, 2005 9:24PM
BOGOTA, Colombia (AP) — Colombian soccer fans who live for their team can now be buried with the club too — thanks to a Medellin funeral parlor that is offering caskets in their favorite team’s colors.
“Some might think it’s a little extreme, but Colombians really adore soccer,” said Camilo Andres Jaramillo, the manager of the San Vicente funeral parlor that makes caskets for soccer-crazed fans in Colombia’s second-biggest city.
The funeral parlor offers caskets in green for Atletico Nacional and red for Independiente Medellin. Fans can also have an embroidered club emblem stitched to the inside lining of the casket lid.
The idea first came from a soccer aficionado a decade ago, and sales have steadily increased since then, Jaramillo said. His company now makes up to two soccer caskets per month.
They go for about $300 each, around 10 percent more than a normal casket, he said. The teams don’t get a share of the profits.

The great thing about London as you can visit it as many times and still there is something new to see. My daughter and I took a trip to the big city on a flying visit and stayed with a relative. Shopping was the top priority on our agenda, so on Saturday morning after a night of rest we hit the shops, but not before seeing a museum as it was a two way bargain, Aoife wanted to buy new clothes and I wanted to be inspired by the sights. The National Portrait Gallery is just off Leister Square and displays 200,000 portraits from the 16th century to the present day. The Gallery not only includes paintings of Kings and Queens such as the Tudors and Queen Victoria but there are also photographs and sculptors of famous people, inventors and historical heroes.
With the morning spent absorbing history and knowledge, we hopped on the tube into Oxford Street. This street is famous for shopping and had a great buzz, I was informed that it is like this all the time and there is never a quiet moment walking down Oxford Street. On the corner there was a big Nike Store and they were promoting the NFL American football coming to London. The store was jammed with shoppers buying the t-shirts and baseball caps to support their teams. Around the corner from there was a big New Look outlet and my daughter purchased what she wanted and went away a happy camper.
We strolled down Regent Street with its array of flags and advertisements for the NFL, and browsed around Hamley’s Toy Store. The shop was a little overpriced but the entertainment brought the punters in. However we did not purchase anything and was a little disappointed, so tiredness was setting in and we went home.
The following day was our trip home but we stopped off in Uxbridge to do some more last minute shopping and ate in a lovely restaurant called Just Ask. The menu had a great selection of pizza and pasta’s and I opted for the rigatoni with extra chilies.
We flew home with http://www.aerlingus.com and our flight was very pleasant, it was a very relaxing and educational weekend. | <urn:uuid:c14929ca-03b0-421d-af9f-4bd72161ef58> | CC-MAIN-2022-05 | https://coughlanholidaymagazine.com/2016/10/06/flying-high-in-london/ | 2022-01-19T09:54:29Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-05/segments/1642320301309.22/warc/CC-MAIN-20220119094810-20220119124810-00690.warc.gz | en | 0.98432 | 439 |

The Cowboys lost to an 0-4 Jets team on Sunday, a team they were supposed to dominate. For those hoping Dallas head coach Jason Garrett would be shown the door in short order, they shouldn’t be holding their breath. It’s more than likely not happening in the middle of the 2019 NFL season, no matter how dire things get. Whether or not it will happen whenever this campaign comes to an end is another question, however.
The prevailing line of thought heading into the year was if the Cowboys failed to reach the NFC Championship game, something not seen around Dallas in more than two decades, Garrett would most certainly be on his way out. There’s only one man’s opinion that matters when it comes to who’s at the helm, and that would be Jerry Jones, owner and general manager of the most valuable franchise in the world.
On Tuesday morning Jones made an appearance on 105.3 The Fan and what he said will have fans shaking their heads harder than a hood ornament.
Garrett is not the worst head coach in the league. He has his strengths, largely having a heavy hand in building a competent roster. But a top coach? If that feels like a stretch it’s because it is. Head coaches are going to be judged by their ability to win big games, despite the malaise Sunday’s defeat to the winless Jets has put fans in.
Defining what’s a big game is subjective, but for the purposes of this piece, beating teams with a winning record would be a good place to start. Upon examination, Garrett is not passing the test.
Using Pro Football Reference’s Team Finder to suss out each active head coach’s record against winning teams at season’s end in either the regular season or playoffs reveals a cold, hard fact. Against good teams, Garrett has been mediocre at best.
Here’s a list of all active coaches with at least one year of experience through the end of the last complete season, 2018.
|Team||Coach||Years Active||Record vs
|New England Patriots||Bill Belichick||2000-2019||107-63||0.629|

Garrett shows up at No. 14 on a list of only 23 teams. To be fair to Jones’ comment, he did say Garrett has evolved into one of the top coaches, not that he has always been one.
With that in mind, let’s try to parse when that may have happened. Start by discounting 2010 when he replaced former head coach Wade Phillips in a lost season, and then to be even more kind, leave off the three subsequent meme solidifying 8-8 years that followed, and look at only 2014 and beyond.
His record against winning teams since just 2014 is 18-24, good for a .429 winning percentage which would still leaves him outside the top 10. Apologists will point to the injury to former quarterback Tony Romo in 2015, but it’s no excuse.
New England Patriots head coach Bill Belichick, for example, went 11-5 with Matt Cassel playing quarterback in lieu of Tom Brady. Sean Payton, head coach of the New Orleans Saints has won four games in a row with Teddy Bridgewater in place of sure fire Hall of Famer Drew Brees.
No matter how it’s cut, Garrett has trouble winning the games that matter most. The kind of wins that define great teams have largely eluded him. So far he’s been able to escape the chopping block by handling the “gimmes”, but if losses like the one last Sunday against the New York Jets keep happening, Jones might resolve himself to finding a new head coach. | <urn:uuid:21b3efb0-70dc-4f33-8dd7-34320e306855> | CC-MAIN-2022-05 | https://cowboyswire.usatoday.com/2019/10/15/dallas-cowboys-2019-jason-garrett-record-vs-top-teams-jerry-jones-top-coach-comment/ | 2022-01-19T10:30:40Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-05/segments/1642320301309.22/warc/CC-MAIN-20220119094810-20220119124810-00690.warc.gz | en | 0.893227 | 1,254 |

On today’s episode of the Craft Industry Alliance podcast, we’re talking about building a multi-faceted craft business with my guest Kathy Cano-Murillo.
Kathy Cano-Murillo is an author, artist & founder of the award-winning brand, CraftyChica. She spreads the gospel of glitter – literally through her DIY projects and figuratively through her speeches, workshops, books, and essays.
A former syndicated columnist for The Arizona Republic, she is now a full-time creativepreneur which has led to multiple Crafty Chica mass retail product lines, and collabs with Coca-Cola, HSN, HP, WordPress, Disney & many others. She has authored seven craft books, two novels, and recently, Forever Frida: A Celebration of the Life, Art, Loves, Words, and Style of Frida Kahlo.

In this interview, Kathy traces her long and varied career in the crafts industry. Kathy was born and raised in Phoenix and she talks about tapping into her creativity as a child in school through a teacher who recognized her creative writing skills. She went on to work collaboratively with her husband on a line or handmade goods, but when their products got too popular, fulfilling orders by hand became more than they wanted to handle.
Kathy got a job working at the Arizona Republic where she was able to begin writing a craft column that was nationally syndicated. She went to school at night to complete her college degree. Kathy started her blog, The Crafty Chica, to share her craft column tutorials with a wider audience and her blog was one of the very first craft blogs!
When she noticed that there were very few craft products on the market that were representative of Latino culture, Kathy decided to create her own. She talks about the process of licensing her designs to national retailers.
Kathy has always been interested in creative writing and dedicated herself to writing a series of novels with crafty characters at their center. These include Waking Up in the Land of Glitter and Miss Scarlet’s School of Patternless Sewing.
We also talk about Kathy’s work as a content creator. She’s worked for many major national brands both inside and outside of the crafts industry. If you’re interested in collaborating with brands, Kathy has a lot of great wisdom to share about how to make these partnerships really work.
One thing I’ve always admired about Kathy is her willingness to embrace new technology. When Instagram Reels launched, Kathy was one of the first crafters I noticed creating and posting these short-form videos. Kathy’s attitude is that she loves her job and loves trying out new ways to reach her audience and to “spread the gospel of glitter.” Everything she makes and does is based on positivity.
And, of course, I ask Kathy to recommend great stuff she’s enjoying right now. Kathy recommends: | <urn:uuid:aaf10c67-7c65-4495-a3cf-8fddd1185079> | CC-MAIN-2022-05 | https://craftindustryalliance.org/podcast-episode-178-kathy-cano-murillo-of-the-crafty-chica/ | 2022-01-19T10:45:21Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-05/segments/1642320301309.22/warc/CC-MAIN-20220119094810-20220119124810-00690.warc.gz | en | 0.974775 | 771 |
This post originally appeared on Trans/Missions, the USC Knight Chair in Media and Religion blog.
Stoxx Europe Christian Index recently launched to allow enterprising Christian capitalists to exercise their moral principles in the context of the free market. A press release announcing the fund notes that it was developed for a “growing number of Christian market participants who wish to invest in accordance with their religious beliefs…[and] the new index provides a broad representation of European companies who act responsibly on an ethical, environmental, social and economical level; and are therefore in-line with Christian values.”
This story has gotten scant coverage in the United States, beyond a few briefs quoting the company press release. But there is a rich field of journalistic inquiry to be mined here.
Yet to be explored in the reporting around Stoxx is that great monolith, “Christian values.” Companies like Nestle are Christian enough to be included in the fund despite decades of boycotts over questionable practices regarding the marketing of infant formula in the developing world. The New York Times points out that the environmental impact of companies like BP and Royal Dutch Shell doesn’t seem to warrant their exclusion from the list.
The formula developed to vet companies for inclusion is designed to ensure that they are not making money (or not making too much money) from weapons, pornography, birth control, gambling or tobacco. This roster of sins institutionalizes and validates only the most conservative ethical perspective within the religion–i.e. the one concerned primarily with personal and sexual morality. Further, it essentially reduces 2,000 years of Christian moral teaching to a marketing maxim: the imperative here isn’t “thou shalt manage production in an ethical manner” but “thou shalt not produce something really, really bad.”
Then again, maybe the Stoxx fund does take other ethical considerations into account. The investment firm leading the independent committee that selects companies for inclusion in the fund, CBIS, has a well-developed social responsibility policy. Still, articles in the Financial Times and the San Francisco Chronicle note that these Christian-branded financial products and services were developed in response to investor demand for ethical investment options in the wake of the financial crisis. Surely other reporters will not let this curious association stand without further investigation.
The financial crisis was not a result of corporations’ making money off porn, guns or gambling, so the Stoxx fund does nothing to address the real source of investors’ fears. Actually addressing the root causes of the global financial meltdown would require not only taking a hard look at the way companies do business but also at the regulations that determine how they operate. Perhaps the foundational assumptions of the free market itself deserve closer scrutiny. But that systemic analysis probably isn’t high on the agenda of the investors Stoxx may be wooing with this fund–conservative Christians who, in the United States, often overlook structural solutions to social problems in favor of individual responsibility.
Does this mean that branding a financial product “Christian” is just a cynical marketing ploy? The writer for the San Fransisco Chronicle got it right when she reminded us that in this business as in any business, old wisdom offers the best advice: Let the buyer beware.

Electrix Ltd has an important role to play in powering New Zealand, but when it comes to keeping their offices spic and span their cleaning powerhouse is husband-and-wife team Rameshwar Sharma and Rasmi Lata.
The North Harbour CrestClean franchisees have been cleaning Electrix’s Auckland offices for the past three years and Administration Co-ordinator Sarah Thorstensen says she couldn’t be happier.
“Rameshwar and Rasmi do a great job and are very proactive. If there is a concern, they are straight onto it.”
Sarah says she chose CrestClean because of the high level of customer service provided, which is “extremely important” to the company.
Rameshwar says he and Rasmi really enjoy cleaning at Electrix, where they are always given a warm welcome.
“They are very friendly people. When I go there, more than half the people know me, and they treat me like a friend,” he says.
Originally from Fiji, Rameshwar and Rasmi moved to New Zealand in 2009 and bought their CrestClean business in 2012, after talking to a friend who owned a successful franchise.
Since then they have grown their business and upskilled to add Pure Water Window Cleaning, Carpet Cleaning and Hard Floor Care to their suite of cleaning services. Rameshwar has also become an Induction Trainer, for CrestClean’s Master Cleaners Training Institute.
“Rameshwar and Rasmi have been committed to providing a high-quality cleaning service from the outset,” says Neil.
“It has been gratifying to watch their business grow, alongside a growing number of happy customers.” | <urn:uuid:a13da9ed-0f75-4d04-ac54-10bc50653758> | CC-MAIN-2022-05 | https://cresttalk.co.nz/north-harbour-franchisees-power-into-cleaning-at-electrix/ | 2022-01-19T09:58:23Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-05/segments/1642320301309.22/warc/CC-MAIN-20220119094810-20220119124810-00690.warc.gz | en | 0.967562 | 362 |

Human Capital is the economic significance of a workforce’s ability and productivity. It is derived on the basis that there is little equality among employees’ inability and that such can be revamped through investment, or in some situations, reinvestment (Centre for Educational Research and Innovation, 1999).
The term is a Victorian invention of Theodore Schultz, an economist of the 60’s. The building blocks of the concept classify labor among the varied forms of capital. As such, investment can be through training, education and even improved benefits that aim at putting the entire workforce at the best of its abilities. Investment in human capital is primarily concerned with improving the aspects of income not necessarily at the present but for the future (Centre for Educational Research and Innovation, 1999).
Authors have given varied contemporaries about the same, with some aspects of similarities and others expressing different comprehended mechanisms of human capital. This paper analyzes some of these presentations mainly; People Equity, Raging Debates, Missing Link, Balanced Scoreboard and Maximizing Impact (Centre for Educational Research and Innovation, 1999).
The above authors/economists develop their ideologies around the same projection. They illuminate the significance of investing in human capital to improve company production through first, enhancing the productivity of the human personnel. For instance, Kaplan and Norton, in highlighting the procedurals employed in implementing the scorecard to fulfill productivity point out the remedies that companies should take. Using the scorecard involves four different steps the first of which is the translation of business strategy and vision. The step implies the expression of business ideas through objectively set plans. At the first step alone, the scorecard is very essential as it highlights the shortfalls and gaps that plague companies, among which is the employees’ ability and skills.
The second step, linking and communication, involve enlightening the staff about the objectives of the company and preparing them to meet these goals. Procedurally, this step requires education as the first measure so to broaden the understanding of the staff on the responsibilities that they are expected to mete out. Objectively, it promotes commitment and accountability. The last procedural of the step proposes rewarding of employees based on the nature of their performance. Reward in that sense motivates the workers to perform even better in the future.
As the peak of the scorecard, the step of business planning requires the integration of strategies into budgeting to ensure efficiency. The integration involves the creation of initiatives, empowerment of workers, timely management, and reengineering and complete quality management. The underlining factor in this case is the advancement of employees that is very essential in every one of the initiatives. Planning the industrial future of a company requires the recognition of the vital aspects and roles that are played by workers in every step.
The last step in the scorecard expresses the significance of correlating the employees’ morale with customer satisfaction. As such, it becomes a lot easier to measure the perspectives of conception and growth. Such correlations affirm the strategies and goals that have been set in a business.
Bassi and McBassi, on the other hand, also have ideologies that support the same. In the Raging debates, clarity is made on how Human Resource analytics software/mechanism can be used to measure both productivities and to gain competitive advantage over rivals in trade.
HR analytics is defined as the tools and methodologies that are used to integrate and improve the quality of an organizational workforce. It requires the use of an evidence-based approach to the motivation of employees. As such, rewarding is based on the quality of the performance of an individual, not through a standardized scheme that recognizes not the level of input of the worker(s). In every sense, the analytics betters the decisions the human sides of productivity.
Basically, the HR analytics is meant for the purpose of improving individual performance. Moreover, it also serves in trimming the HR workload for credibility enhancement.
In the application of the HR analytics, the HR is required to enhance performance by extending the skills, capacity, and required capability. The HR functions should bear the knowledge of leading the analytics from the ends of IT and finance. The skills are very vital in improving the performance of an organization.
Vitality in production is maintained and even enhanced by enhancing a staff’s ability to comprehend some of the more than core competencies in production. A skilled workforce according to the Raging Debates authors is a derivative for successful growth and expansion. Every employee is such capable of assisting almost in any situation be it technical or manual.
Frank, the Link author, identifies that industry and success are determined by financial and human capital. Furthermore, he states that human capital marks the definite bloodline in organizational production. In this sense, HC metrics isolates the investments in human capital and determines its progress or degeneration, all in a bid in measuring the performance of the business.
A complete metric should, therefore, aggregate all internal cost and even external factors of the HC costs. Hence, a link would be created between overall productivity and the workforce performance. The metrics are also used to measure the return/profit gained from the incisive investment made in the Human Capital. Investment in labor is hence used to increase the profit margins as considerations are made that they should only be implemented if the returns can supersede the financial costs. The drivers of human capital project results uncover opportunities and increase the economic impact of interventions.
In assessing productivity, there are formulas that are used to predict the effect of HC performance. Intelligence is used to determine the level of investments that should be made into human capital.
To sum the argument projected by Frank, investing in human capital and coming up with measures to monitor the results is what really companies should employ to make sure that productivity is maintained on highs. In the execution of HR analytics, Mondore makes the suggestion that the cause-effect and regression should be analyzed to help in deciphering the data about HR and the productivity.
Building and execution of a program requires an investment in the workforce to polish their processes, attitude and skills. Such actions have direct impacts on the growth of the organization, well beyond the assumed factors.
People equity stipulates an approach that should be employed in measuring the returns of investment in human capital. Failure to align and improve the capabilities and engagement of the HR diminishes productivity and create adverse impacts on the customer relations.
The investments made are aimed at bringing the human assets to exceptional competitive levels. The author as such points out that organizations that aim at improving the shareholder equity must create focus on the employees and other labor resources to build fairness in the investment. Primarily, all the five articles agree with the cautious nature with which the human resource factor should be used. However, the materials do not fall short of differences.
Kaplan and Norton have expressed the scorecard as a very vital aspect of HR analytics. It hence becomes the ultimate measure of performance and productivity based on the nature and level of investment made in human capital. The scorecard is, by the authors, elevated to such level of significance that without which, organizational performance is derailed in very many aspects. The issues may range .............

Regular readers of the blog may have noticed that the past couple of posts has been very Azure Data Factory V2 (ADF) focused, particularly in the context of Dynamics 365 Customer Engagement (D365CE) and the Common Data Service (CDS). I’ve provided an on overview of the different connectors available today for both of these applications and also discussed some of the hurdles you may find when it comes to mapping data across to your desired fields within D365CE/CDS. Today’s post naturally follows on from these subjects, as we aim to take a look at some of the mapping limitations currently in-place when importing data using the D365CE/CDS connectors.
As highlighted on Microsoft’s official article on the subject, the vast majority of field types available within D365CE/CDS can be mapped to a destination (or “sink” location). These, for the most part, involve the standard data types that .NET developers will be familiar working with and if, for example, you want to map data from a SQL Server data source into D365CE/CDS, you should have little difficulty implementing these mappings. However, two important attribute types within D365CE/CDS are not supported for mapping, under any circumstance. And, although they may not cause you difficulties in all but the most complex integration scenarios, if you are working with out of the box system entities using pre-built relationships or are wanting to perform record assignment changes within your ADF pipelines, you may find yourself hitting a brick wall. The next two sections look at these attribute types in greater detail, as well as offering a suggested route to work with them alongside ADF.
This attribute type is more commonly known as the Customer lookup field, a special kind of relationship that allows a user to associate either a Contact or an Account record with another Entity record. This data type has traditionally been used extensively by various system entities within the application and, more recently, has been exposed out for system customizers to create as well. Further details about this special data type can be found on the Microsoft Docs website. Given its somewhat strange behaviour, from an entity-relationship standpoint at least, we can guess as to why this data type is not supported within ADF; perhaps because we have no way of telling CRM, as part of a copy activity, whether a supplied entity name or GUID belongs to a specific entity type. However, this limitation may cause some frustration, particularly if you are performing a migration from an on-premise Dynamics CRM instance to online, and you wish to keep in place any existing relationships from your source system.
If you are completely set on using this field as intended and to import data into it (which makes sense, given that is relied upon for many out of the box components within D365CE), then a possible workaround can be implemented with a mixture of D365CE/CDS entity customisations and a Microsoft Flow to perform most of the heavy lifting:
First, create two temporary lookup fields on the entity that you wish to import Customer lookup data into it, to both the Account and Contact entities respectively:
Within your ADF pipeline flow, you will then need to map the GUID values for your Account and Contact fields to the respective lookup fields created above. The simplest way of doing this is to have two separate columns within your source dataset - one containing Account GUID’s to map and the other, Contact.
Then, finally, you can put together a Microsoft Flow that then performs the appropriate mapping from the temporary fields to the Customer lookup field. First, define the trigger point for when your affected Entity record is created (in this case, Contact) and add on some parallel branches to check for values in either of these two temporary lookup fields:
Then, if either of these conditions is hit, set up an Update record task to perform a single field update, as indicated below if the ADF Account Lookup field has data within it (swap the value of the Company Name Type to contacts for the second branch):
You can download a copy of the above flow using this link, thereby allowing you to import and modify it within your environment quickly.
This is one limitation that, I think, has the potential to cause the most issues and, similar to the Customer field type, can be explained due to the twin nature of this field type. The Owner field fulfils a self-evident purpose within the application - namely, to tell us which particular User or Team within the applications owns a record. It, therefore, behaves similarly as the already discussed Customer field and, likewise, there is no clear way to tell whether a supplied GUID or Name value is for one entity or the other. And, as you may expect, the workaround solution is largely similar:
- Create two lookup fields on your target entity to both the User and Team entity, respectively:
- Then, on the ADF side, do the same as the Customer field type and segregate out your User/Team record GUIDs into separate fields.
- Finally, we can redevelop the previous Flow to trigger using these new fields instead. A copy of this flow can be downloaded here; it is a carbon copy of the example shown earlier, with some minor alterations.
Conclusions or Wot I Think
The limitations currently in place are entirely understandable, once you become familiar with the unique behaviour of these field types when compared to others within D365CE/CDS. But they are not necessarily insurmountable. As the CDS connector for Flow has demonstrated, by supplying an additional, valuable piece of information - the specific name of the entity that you wish to map to - you can provide the application with all of the information it needs to correctly associate the records together during an update or import operation. Having this functionality replicated within an ADF copy data activity would, at a minimum, introduce a very desirable piece of functionality. Fortunately, I’m not the only one to think so, as there is a User Voice request out currently requesting this specific feature. I would encourage you to upvote this if you would also like to see this feature added in future. Notwithstanding these two specific limitations, I do still believe ADF is worth consideration when attempting to solve more sophisticated data integration requirements, whether they involve D365CE/CDS or not. The solution provides a rich array of cloud-hosted, consumption-modelled capability to allow you to quickly and cheaply implement Extract, Transform & Load (ETL) processes between a wide variety of different locations. | <urn:uuid:7f611985-7878-4fd0-b31e-9a841cb8b206> | CC-MAIN-2022-05 | https://crmchap.co.uk/sink-limitations-with-the-dynamics-365-customer-engagement-common-data-service-connector-for-azure-data-factory/ | 2022-01-19T10:27:06Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-05/segments/1642320301309.22/warc/CC-MAIN-20220119094810-20220119124810-00690.warc.gz | en | 0.924483 | 1,368 |

Approved on 19 April 1985.
Once again we are dealing with a very simple, yet distinct, coat of arms, and
consequently also a simple and effective flag: A fishing hook in white on a blue
field. The arms and flag were approved by Royal resolution dated 19 April 1985.
One might criticize the blazon for being too general in the description of the
charge, as the drawing shows a special kind of fishing hook, a type made of
bone. This kind of bone fishing hook is known back to the Stone Age. As we know,
modern metal fishing hooks look quite different, and their thin appearance makes
them unsuitable as heraldic charges. The choice of a fishing hook for a charge
is explained by the fact that Båtsfjord is a community that relies on fishing
for income. Source: [cjo87].
Jan Oskar Engene, 27 April 2002
Is there a reason for Båtsfjord municipality to specifically choose a Stone
age fishing hook?
Peter Hans van den Muijzenberg, 1 May 2002
I am not sure, but I would not be surprised if there is some connection to an
archaeological find in the municipality.
Jan Oskar Engene, 2 May 2002
Norske kommunevåpen [c2j87] shows a
drawing of a hook very similar to the one pictured in the flag, captioned (my
translation): "Bone fishing hook from younger stone-age, found near Vadsø."
The hook in the flag is similar, but made remarkably "fatter" so to
fill the field decently.

Take advantage of this incredible offer on three foundational works on the topic of Crypto-Judaism. Learn and help support this site.
This book reviews types of Iberian Conversos (i.e. primarily forced but also voluntary Jewish converts to Christianity) from the late 14th to the 17th centuries and surveys the Christian and Jewish attitudes towards them. It begins with a brief history of Jewish life in the Iberian Peninsula noting critical events such as the forced conversions of Jews under the Visigoths and the Almohades. The direct events leading to mass conversions of Jews in the late 14th century and the aftermath in the 15th century are explored.
This study examines texts and decrees that reveal that many Christians doubted the sincerity of these Jewish conversions to Christianity, and how they still regarded and treated Conversos as Jews. Different types of Conversos are then discussed.
The challenges and situations each Converso faced were unique and produced different outlooks towards Jewish identity and faith in general. Various Jewish sources, including rabbinic responsa, sermons, and other documents are also analyzed.
These sources reveal the positive attitudes of Jews towards Conversos and the Jewish community’s desire for them to return to Judaism openly.
Other studies suggest that as a whole, Conversos either fully retained their Jewish identity or sincerely embraced Christianity. This study argues that the Jewish identity of Conversos was complicated and existed along a broad spectrum ranging from complete abandonment to ardent Judaizing. The book concludes by exploring the stories of descendants of Conversos in the United States, Latin America, and in Spain and Portugal, who are searching and often embracing a Jewish identity once thought lost.
Discover the complex and fascinating history of Secret Jews.
Persecution. Torture. Death. Secrecy.
Thousands of Jews forcibly converted to Christianity in Spain and Portugal were subjected to religious persecution for continuing to adhere to their ancestral faith. The Spanish and Portuguese Inquisitions lasted for centuries, and when their attention on Judaizers ended, they switched to other concerns including Protestantism, Bigamy, and Blasphemy.The Inquisition typically conjures up images of intolerance, persecution, and violence and rightly so.
Many people think of it as a reflection of the spiritual, scholastic, and scientific darkness of the medieval period. Hundreds of thousands of trials were processed during its lengthy reign… Discover the fascinating history of the Inquisition.
Persecution and Conversion
Why did so many Iberian Jews convert to Christianity when faced with violence? Why did they not respond to persecution the way that German Jews did? These are common questions that are often raised when the history of Jews in Spain and Portugal is studied.
Jews lived in the Iberian Peninsula for more than one-thousand years. They experienced Roman rule, Visigoth rule, Islamic conquest, and the Christian Reconquista.
Iberian Jewish attitudes towards violence and persecution were formed from a matrix of Biblical, Talmudic, philosophical, Kabbalistic, and outside influences that created a unique set of circumstances within the Jewish community.
This book explores this fascinating topic by analyzing Jewish views on martyrdom and dissimulation.
It also reviews the responses of German Jewry revealing a more complicated response than is often assumed.
It surveys the changing dynamics within the Iberian Jewish community in the medieval period which created a crisis of religious thought.
It also investigates Islamic influence on Iberian Jewish thought.

The objective of the project was to build a Proof of Concept (PoC) of an Urban Observatory platform for Karnataka, which can carry out geo-spatial data analyses and visualisation to enable data-driven decision-making.
The Urban Observatory explored how a complete data story around a specific theme can be presented by collecting, integrating, analysing and visualising data from multiple sources. The PoC demonstrates these features through the themes of ‘noise pollution’ and ‘understanding city growth dynamics’. This PoC Urban Observatory can be expanded to explore other urban themes and can be replicated to create similar observatories for other cities in Karnataka.
We built an Android mobile application named ‘Shabda’ (download here) to crowdsource noise pollution data, which has been deployed as a beta version. | <urn:uuid:a0a163be-2ba0-4912-ad01-10e435eb0fbf> | CC-MAIN-2022-05 | https://cstep.in/projects-details.php?id=427 | 2022-01-19T10:11:19Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-05/segments/1642320301309.22/warc/CC-MAIN-20220119094810-20220119124810-00690.warc.gz | en | 0.888131 | 171 |

Weekly Update – January 14, 2022
Save the Date: CUASA Winter 2022 GMM
CUASA’s Winter 2022 General Membership Meeting will be held on Tuesday, February 1, from 2:00-4:00pm.
The GMM will take place online over Zoom. The agenda and connection details will be released closer to the date.
SEQ Choice Selection
As we wrote about last fall, CUASA was awarded a mediation/arbitration order from Arbitrator Paula Knopf regarding the Association’s grievance on the administration of student teaching evaluations (STE), now referred to in the collective agreement as student experience questionnaires (SEQ). The full decision can be found here.
As the award outlines, there will be a new process to appropriately implement the terms of Article 25.3(h)-(i) of the collective agreement with proper consideration for Article 25.3(a).
Specifically, members can now make their selections through Carleton Central under “Faculty Services” by accessing “Student Experience Questionnaire Method Preference”. You have until January 31 to select your preference, one that will be effective this term. If no selection is made by this date, the SEQ will be administered online.
Be advised that under the new system, once members make a selection and save it, the choice will be saved for every subsequent term and academic year thereafter and will not change until it is changed by the member. Members who wish to make specific changes for a fall or winter term must meet the end of the month deadline for the change to apply for that term. If a change is made after the deadline, that preference will apply for the next term.
Courses determined to be “fully online” will have to be administered using electronic questionnaires. The administration of all other courses will be at the discretion of our members.
The Association continues to strongly recommend the paper format, when safe to do so, since the issues of discriminatory effects and bias for the electronic format remain outstanding.
As mentioned last week, CUASA wishes to remind its members that there are options available, should you require accommodation. In particular, the Association has an agreement with the University that enshrines a unique application process that recognizes the individualized nuances for members needing to seek an adjustment, reduction, or rescheduling of their workload during these disruptive situations.
Remember, CUASA members have every right to seek an accommodation where needed. Members will require customized advice before making their applications to their Deans, should they believe it necessary.
Any members needing individualized advice on seeking an accommodation are encouraged to contact the following CUASA staff members: members with a last name beginning with the letters A-M, please email Hanan Mankal ([email protected]); members with a last name beginning with the letters N-Z, please email Alex Aucoin ([email protected]).
CUASA members and/or their families may be struggling in light of the current situation. Remember that all CUASA members and their families have access to the Employee and Family Assistance Program (EFAP). You can find details about the EFAP here.
Nominations for Steering Positions
We are accepting nominations for the following Steering Committee positions for terms beginning on July 1, 2022 (click on the position title to view the description):
- External Relations Officer
- Chair, Grievance Policy and Administration
- Instructor Representative
- Librarian Representative
Nominations for President are due to the virtual CUASA Office by Thursday, March 31, 2022. Nominations for all other positions are due by Friday, April 29, 2022.
Information on the nominations process can be found on our How to Volunteer page. Remember that our Association is only as strong as its membership, so we count on the time and commitment of our members to achieve our goals. Some of these positions come with a course release subject to the availability of funds (please ask if interested).
If you have any questions about the positions or the process, please contact CUASA’s Chair, Nominations and Elections, Marylynn Steckley, at [email protected].

UOITFA requests “no board”: Ontario Tech faculty move closer to striking as university resists investing in quality education
After seven months of negotiations, the union representing full-time faculty at Ontario Tech University has requested a “no-board” notice from the Ministry of Labour, Training, and Skills Development; once issued, the countdown toward a potential strike will begin. The University of Ontario Institute of Technology Faculty Association (UOITFA) is disappointed bargaining has reached this point. However, the Ontario Tech administration has been unwilling to meaningfully address growing concerns around workload, education quality, equity, and job security at the university.
Make your voice heard. Send an email to Ontario Tech’s President and senior leadership team and ask them to negotiate a fair deal that prioritizes high-quality education and helps us avoid a strike at Ontario Tech: https://www.uoitfa.ca/take-action/

OCUFA disappointed Laurentian still resisting accountability for CCAA devastation
OCUFA is disappointed that the Superior Court of Justice has denied the Ontario Auditor General’s request for documents that Laurentian University claims are privileged. Laurentian’s sudden insolvency and unprecedented implosion as a result of the Companies’ Creditors Arrangement Act (CCAA) process has devastated the Greater Sudbury community, raised concerns at other universities, and alarmed the people of Ontario. It is vital that Laurentian University show some accountability and release these documents to the Auditor General.

Harry Crowe Foundation Conference 2022 – Academic Freedom and the Law
Academic freedom in Canada is the right of academic staff to teach and discuss, to research and publish, to participate in the academic governance of and to criticize their administration, and to exercise their civil liberties, including freedom of expression, without institutional censorship. The exercise of academic freedom is both facilitated by and constrained by the law. This conference will explore the legal foundations of academic freedom, as well as the legal limits placed on it with a view to strengthening the protections for academic freedom in Canada.
This important conference will be held online February 10-11, 2022. The registration link and the conference agenda are available at: http://www.crowefoundation.ca/events/.
The Harry Crowe Foundation was established as a charitable organization by the Canadian Association of University Teachers in 2002 to carry out education and research on the role of academic freedom in contemporary society. The Foundation is named in honour of Professor Harry Crowe whose celebrated academic freedom case in the 1950’s helped establish the mission of what was then a fledgling CAUT. | <urn:uuid:cbccd8b2-45ff-4193-b4ed-67525e794f96> | CC-MAIN-2022-05 | https://cuasa.ca/weekly-update-january-14-2022/ | 2022-01-19T11:46:56Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-05/segments/1642320301309.22/warc/CC-MAIN-20220119094810-20220119124810-00690.warc.gz | en | 0.932574 | 1,629 |

However, the micro-arrays of Anagene are distinctive in their nature; therefore, Anagene enjoys rising trend in sales. The current costing system of Anagene takes budgeted volume as the base for measuring overhead costs.
This method causes the margins to vary and profitability to decrease. Apart from this reason, the market dynamics of Genomic instrument industry pose unpredictability in spotting new customers.
Moreover, the reuse of the cartridges from the customers also yields uncertain margins amounts. Kelly should seriously consider the overhead costs in the costing strategy as it allows the company to take into account the idle capacity.
Fixed costs are an integral part of Anagene costing strategy and they should not be ignored by employing the variable contribution margins.

Tool: Paralign Single Featherboard Shop Now and Paralign Double Featherboard Shop Now
MSRP: $27.99 & $48.99
At first glance, JessEm’s Paralign Featherboard might look like any other featherboard–except for those two extra knobs. What’s the deal?
You tighten one set of knobs to lock the featherboard’s mounting bracket. Then you slide the featherboard through the bracket until the pressure is right, and lock the featherboard with the second set of knobs. Using this method, setting up the Paralign is much easier than most featherboards, where you clamp and adjust pressure at the same time. Our only complaint–and it’s a minor one–is that we wish the knobs were larger and more comfortable to grip.
This sliding-plate design guarantees that the fingers will be parallel to your work, delivering equal pressure. Thus the name: Paralign. The mounting bracket is reversible, to increase the amount of travel. The finger plate is reversible, too, so the fingers can be pointed in either direction.
The Paralign featherboards are also stackable, to help prevent a tall workpiece from tipping. They’re available singly or in a twin pack that contains the hardware for stacking two on top of each other. Paralign featherboards come with hardware for 1/4″ T-slots and a bar for a 3/4″ tablesaw miter slot.
Here are some supplies and tools we find essential in our everyday work around the shop. We may receive a commission from sales referred by our links; however, we have carefully selected these products for their usefulness and quality. | <urn:uuid:38d21234-afde-4627-ba0f-767317dcd4c5> | CC-MAIN-2022-05 | https://curatedmint.com/easy-to-adjust-featherboards-popular-woodworking-magazine/ | 2022-01-19T10:47:45Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-05/segments/1642320301309.22/warc/CC-MAIN-20220119094810-20220119124810-00690.warc.gz | en | 0.917031 | 382 |
At the end of a rope
Nancy and Joy at their home a few months ago
“Sometimes we can only see right around us, so I was fearing so much. But God knew what was in the future,” Nancy recounted as she explained her journey with CURE. Nancy Wanjiru, now 22 years old, was the first patient I ever met in Kenya. She had come to the hospital for a bad infection on her previously corrected clubfoot. We spent each afternoon at her bedside talking, reading, and being silly. She taught me my first words of Swahili, “kuja hapa,” meaning “come here.” She said it would be useful for me so I could get the kids to come to me, but I think, now, about all the times Jesus called His people to return, to follow, to come to Him. For Nancy, He called her over and over until she finally answered.
Nancy was born with clubfoot on both sides, and has been living with her grandmother ever since. “My grandmother told me that it’s probable that [my mother] saw the shape of my feet and thought I would never walk, so she just abandoned me.” Nancy adapted to walking on her deformed feet, but once she became a teenager, she was ready for help. “I would go to those organizations that are supposed to help people with disabilities. All they would do is just make us do registration and no help would ever go to us,” she explained with frustration. By eighth grade, she was no longer able to pay for school fees and had to drop out in order to find work.
One day, in 2010, when walking home from work, she met a stranger who noticed her deformity and told her about a doctor who might be able to help her. Hesitant, Nancy eventually found CURE’s mobile clinic in Nakuru. “I heard them talk about surgery and I knew I would need a lot of money, which we didn’t have. When I went back home and told my grandmother about it, she was nervous and since I was already walking, I decided to not to go back.” This was the beginning of Nancy’s long journey with CURE, as the staff wasn’t willing to leave her alone. She was called a few months later asking why she never showed up. CURE social workers even stopped by her place on their round of home visits and gave her a date to come for surgery. Still, Nancy didn’t show.
“My family did not want the surgery. We did not trust those things,” Nancy admitted. “I remember Livingstone (a CURE staff member) would call to ask why I was not coming, and I would give all sorts of excuses. At some point he even threatened to call the chief and report me,” she laughed. More than a year went by avoiding the surgery. Nancy was working in a field making 50 cents a day to support herself and her grandmother when she found she was pregnant. “God blessed me with Joy, my daughter, but her father abandoned me because of my disability,” she explained. Nancy was now trying to support the three of them with severe clubfoot when CURE called again. “That was the first time I told them I had a baby. I was fearing what they would say,” she admitted. “But they told me to bring Joy to the hospital and someone would watch her so I could have my surgery. They told me not to think about the money anymore, just to come.”
Nancy arrived at CURE in 2014 with her aunt and her baby girl for her first operation, and in early 2015, she came back for her second foot to be corrected. The procedures went well, but when she came in for a follow-up, doctors found the foot had been infected. Dr. Mailu explained that less than 2% of these cases result with this kind of infection. “But I know to you, it doesn’t happen to 2% of people, it happened to you,” he said to Nancy, understanding how she felt. Nancy recounted the period of darkness and regret she went through, “I remember when they exposed the wound from the plaster, I saw the infection and I regretted having ever come to CURE for the surgery. It didn’t look like it was ever going to heal.”
Nancy’s story isn’t a perfect one. It hasn’t been an easy one. But as she recalls now, she is so grateful for God pursuing her. “Without coming to CURE, I would never have met all these people. With my disability, sometimes I would find my friends were not my real friends. But now, the people at CURE are real to me,” she expressed. Nancy remembers every time a member of the spiritual team prayed with her, she remembers every kind word, every follow-up call, and every get-well message. The last time Nancy was admitted for her infection, she wrote a letter to thank all her supporters. “You guys make me want to exist in this world. My life had reached into an end, but you made me want to survive,” she wrote. “I had seen in the Bible, it tells us God is husband to widows and father to orphans, so I dearly stand by His word and now am seeing His hands.”
When I first met Nancy, she told me just a little about her background. She talked about Joy and how much she loves mangos, she sang to me her favorite hymns, and she encouraged me. When I asked about her mother leaving, she told me, “I have not seen her even once. But if she came back today, I would forgive her,” and I was taken aback. Nancy is a fighter with so much faith in God, even when she sees hopelessness all around her. She is still battling a small infection on her foot, but is coming to all of her follow-up appointments, determined to be free of it. Nancy has grown from a teenager to an adult, become a mother, all the while, walking alongside CURE. I am thankful to know Nancy and am even more grateful that we serve a God who seeks us—who persistently invites us to come to Him.

A corporate manslaughter investigation into up to 25 deaths at a mental health trust has been dropped by police.
The deaths at the former North Essex Partnership University Trust, dating back to 2000, were being investigated by Essex Police.
The force said although it had found “basic failings”, the threshold for corporate manslaughter was not met.
The trust’s successor, Essex Partnership University Trust (EPUT), said it “co-operated fully”.
EPUT was formed last year, following the merger of the North Essex and South Essex Partnership University NHS Foundation Trusts.
Melanie Leahy, whose son Matthew was found hanged at the Linden Centre, Chelmsford, in 2012, said the investigation had been “torturous”.
An inquest found Mr Leahy, 20, had been subjected to failings and missed opportunities over a long period of time.
“The really sad bit is there is no accountability over these deaths,” said Ms Leahy.
“The horror stories over what these families have been put through… is truly heartbreaking.”
She said she could not understand why police had found no criminal culpability.
In a statement, Essex Police said the case for corporate manslaughter had not been “made out” and it would not take any further action.
Det Supt Stephen Jennings, from the Kent and Essex Serious Crime Directorate, said: “We identified clear and basic failings which, in our opinion, should have been easily overcome.
“These, however, did not meet the evidential threshold to proceed for a charge of manslaughter.”
Police said the operations, run by North Essex Partnership University Trust investigated were:Edward House, ChelmsfordLinden Centre, ChelmsfordCrystal Centre at Broomfield, ChelmsfordSt Margaret’s, EppingLandermere Centre at Clacton District HospitalMental Health Services, ClactonKingswood Centre, ColchesterThe Lakes at Colchester hospitalDerwent Centre at Princess Alexandra Hospital, Harlow.
In a statement, EPUT’s chief executive Sally Morris said: “The safety of the people in EPUT’s care has been our priority since day one.
“We have invested £2.1m improving the safety of our wards since April 2017 and are planning to spend a further £700,000 in the coming year.”
A recent Care Quality Commission inspection noted safety improvements and rated the trust as good overall, she added.
Both the trust and Essex Police said they would now assist an ongoing Health and Safety Executive investigation. | <urn:uuid:355ee96e-a8c7-4d61-96fd-df661741ef22> | CC-MAIN-2022-05 | https://curementalhealth.co.uk/essex-police-drop-mental-health-trust-manslaughter-probe/ | 2022-01-19T10:03:33Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-05/segments/1642320301309.22/warc/CC-MAIN-20220119094810-20220119124810-00690.warc.gz | en | 0.966317 | 549 |

How did your hair change during pregnancy? Myleik: My hair is growing like crazy and not shedding much at all. I’ve put it away in protective styles because, between not feeling well, trying to exercise and still having a job, I took the path of least resistance. Got it. What styles work best for you while pregnant? Myleik: I learned that braids aren’t your friend when you’re pregnant because your hair grows SO fast. After a few weeks my hair looked MONTHS old. I haven’t worn a sew-in in years, but I went back to one for this pregnancy and it’s EASILY the best decision. If you're not as lucky as Myleik to have flourishing tresses, here are a few tips to maintaining healthy strands while sporting your bump: Mommy Scalp Massages: Scalp massages stimulate the hair follicles, encourage blood flow to the scalp and feel ah-mazing. Enlist your mate or friend to give you a scalp massage with your Creme of Nature Coconut Oil Essential 7 Treatment.

Precise Radiation Therapy May Also Help Cushing’s Patients Control Cortisol Levels
A type of precision radiation therapy, called stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS), helped patients with Cushing’s disease (CD) control hypercortisolism. It may be a treatment alternative for those unable to undergo surgery or whose disease recurs after surgery, a retrospective analysis reported.
Currently, the first-line therapy for CD is surgery to the pituitary gland — located at the base of the brain, just behind the eyes — that is considered the master regulator of the body’s hormones. Cushing’s is often caused by a pituitary gland tumor.
“However, approximately 10-35% of patients do not achieve endocrine remission after surgery and an additional proportion … recur over time,” Gautam Mehta, with the Department of Neurological Surgery at the University of Virginia Health System wrote.
Recent studies have suggested that stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS), a form of radiation therapy that delivers high dose radiation precisely to a tumor, especially those in the brain, is a potential alternative for CD to conventional radiotherapy and, possibly, traditional surgery. SRS is often referred to as “surgery” because one session of this radiation therapy produces a result similar to that of actual surgery.
To judge endocrine outcomes and SRS risks in CD patients, the researchers retrospectively analyzed results obtained at 10 medical centers participating in the International Gamma Knife Research Foundation (IGKRF).
A total of 327 patients received a single-session of SRS using gamma knife radiosurgery, of which 278 were available for follow-up analysis. Follow-up typically included biochemical tests and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) performed at six-month intervals for the first two years and annually thereafter. Mean follow-up was 5.6 years.
The study’s primary goal was to assess how well SRS controlled hypercortisolism, as detected with a cortisol urine test. Cortisol is a hormone produced by the adrenal glands, and patients with CD usually have high cortisol levels in their urine.
Patients’ radiologic response and side effects of the radiation treatment were also recorded.
The analysis showed that 95 percent of patients achieved tumor control. After 10 years, 80 percent had an initial control of hypercortisolism. But the problem eventually recurred in 18 percent of these patients.
Using SRS, patients took a median of 14.5 months for their cortisol levels to return to normal. In contrast, studies showed that conventional radiotherapy for CD normalized cortisol levels after 18 to 42 months.
These findings suggest that SRS may result in shorter response times than conventional radiotherapy. Overall, after 10 years of follow-up, durable control of hypercortisolism was experienced by 64 percent of patients, and 68 percent of those who received SRS as first-line therapy.
New endocrine gland dysfunction after SRS was experienced by 25% of patients, and new nerve disorder (cranial neuropathy) occurred in 3% of them, and anyone undergoing SRS “should be carefully counselled as to this particular risk,” the researchers said.
Still, “SRS for CD is well-tolerated and frequently results in control of hypercortisolism. However, recurrences can occur. SRS should be considered for patients with persistent hypercortisolism after pituitary surgery and as a primary treatment in those unfit for surgery. Long-term endocrine follow-up is essential after SRS,” they concluded. | <urn:uuid:e8d09410-ba64-4546-8c9b-401c33ca17ba> | CC-MAIN-2022-05 | https://cushingsdiseasenews.com/2017/10/06/stereotactic-radiosurgery-for-cushings-disease-results-of-an-international-multicenter-study/ | 2022-01-19T09:59:36Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-05/segments/1642320301309.22/warc/CC-MAIN-20220119094810-20220119124810-00690.warc.gz | en | 0.955242 | 753 |
Hey there! Before reading the article which is about Special and General Education Students Can Coexist and Benefit From Each Other in a Safe Learning Environment, you should read about role of special education teacher and general education teacher. It shares basic information about this article and also adds more value to it. Do let us know how you feel about it in the comment section below. Happy Reading! Really glad that you are here.
All too often, general education (GE) and special education (SE) students are taught in separate classrooms. Not only does this exacerbate the segregation that already exists in our schools (and society), but it also leads to some students feeling left out or that they don’t belong. Fortunately, there are many ways to ensure a school is inclusive for both types of students, which can lead to benefits for everyone.
Special education students and general education students can learn from each other, but many don’t think it’s possible for them to coexist in the same classroom. Students with disabilities are often seen as needing to be separated from the general population, and they are often placed in a separate classroom, the only students to attend school away from their peers. However, it is impossible to learn if students aren’t interacting with one another.
Ma’am. Green, did you know I’m autistic? asked Andrew as I discussed our new course on communicating with people with disabilities. I was surprised because Andrew spoke often in class, it wasn’t as if he had a language delay, and he was able to cope with the changes in his routine.
I recently had a conversation with my students about President Biden’s $1.9 trillion U.S. financial bailout and $3 billion cut in funding for the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act. Thanks to the PRA, the Department of Education can now offer states more flexibility, allowing schools to devote more federal funds to distance learning technology. This should enable school districts to provide a more comprehensive education and meet the needs of students with disabilities.
My students wanted to know more about the process of stabilizing the education budget in the face of a significant loss of state revenue, and they wanted to know what impact this would have on the invisible students, the ones we never see in school. I also wanted to dismantle not only the stigmatization of disabled people that too often leads to their unemployment and polarization, but also the divisive rhetoric that profoundly affects their humanity.
To start, the students and I watched the movie Miracle, which tells the story of a boy with facial differences who attends a regular elementary school for the first time. One of my students said in passing: Oh, yeah. It’s a movie about an ugly kid. I immediately reminded him that language is important. Instead of deformed child, he could have said student with facial deformity. First, it is important to recognize the hero of the film as an individual, to understand his individuality and equality, and to give him a sense of dignity.
The students and I then visited three different life skills classes at our school:
- practical training
- Special behavioural training for autism
- A more functional life skills class.
I told my students that I had been a special education teacher and was a case manager on our campus. I knew the behavior of the special needs students; they are children like themselves.
We discussed important words like Paraprofessional or Paras, Work Mentors and most importantly Personal Space. My professional communication students had to be prepared for a special needs student to get too close or embarrass them. A public school student can just say: Personal space, please.
My students were impressed with the ability of the life skills students to keep the conversation going during the assignments. said Christopher : I was talking to a friend in one of my general classes. If a student with special needs needed help with learning, professional communication students were available to help. In turn, my students learned to deal with students with individual differences. Most importantly, special education students and general education students interact and perform the same tasks in a safe learning environment. The course was good preparation for both types of students on the road to self-employment and job diversity.
My students discussed with one of our life skills teachers the steps special educators had taken to implement broader inclusion.
Samuel said: I can identify with these kids. My brother is 10 years old and autistic. He’s the smartest guy I know. As for Andrew, he said: It lets me know that I am not alone on this path.
In each of my classes, I had at least one student with whom I could identify in some way. By changing the way my students viewed, interacted, and worked with their peers with special needs, I believe the new idea of inclusion can lead to life lessons.

Frequently Asked Questions
How can the general education classroom adapt and support a child with special needs?
In today’s classrooms, teachers have more students with special needs than ever before. This is primarily due to the passing of the 1990 Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA). In this blog, I’ll be addressing the roles of the general education classroom and the special education classroom, while also offering advice for how the classroom as a whole can adapt and support a child with special needs. Both general education teachers and special education teachers play an important role in the education of a child with special needs.
However, each teacher has different responsibilities regarding the learning process of the child with special needs. In addition, the general education classroom and the special education classroom have different requirements for the child with special needs. In order to maximize the child’s learning experience, each classroom teacher should adapt the classroom environment and the teaching style to the special needs of the child.
How can regular and special education teachers work together?
“I feel useless in my job as a special education teacher because I never see my students progress. How can I be sure that they are learning anything in my class?” As a general education teacher, you may be in a school where the special education teacher works in isolation, and rarely sees his or her students in your classroom. However, this doesn’t have to be the case. In fact, special and general education teachers should be collaborating to help all students succeed. The role of the special education teacher and the general education teacher are usually very different. As a general education teacher, my job is to teach my students the material that is in the curriculum.
I need to make sure that my students understand the material as well as they can. If they don’t understand something, then I need to make sure that they understand everything in that lesson before we move on. As a special education teacher, you need to help your students understand the material that you are teaching. Special education students usually learn differently than regular education students. Because of this, you need to help your students understand the material in different ways. You may need to work with them after school or excursion days. You may need to give
What are some ways to help students with disabilities to access the general education curriculum?
There are many ways that teachers can help students with disabilities to access the general education curriculum. One way is to use accommodations, like modifications to assignments or the use of alternative materials. Another way is to use resources, like special education support personnel or paid volunteers, that will help the student in and out of the classroom. Another way is to use techniques, like peer tutoring or using sign language for students with hearing impairments, to help the student learn. In order to be successful in the classroom,
it is imperative that students with and without disabilities receive the same high quality instruction in all areas of the curriculum. Therefore, teachers must be knowledgeable about the specific challenges that students with disabilities may face in accessing curricular materials, and the solutions available to address these challenges.

More hate, more fraud, more work to do: takeaways from Google’s 2020 ad safety report
Google has released its annual Ads Safety Report, which details how it policed its service during a pandemic. Notably, the service detected and acted on more hate, and fraudulent schemes throughout (often inspired by pandemic profiteering).
The document penned by Scott Spencer, vice president of ads privacy and safety at Google, said: “In 2020, our policies and enforcement were put to the test as we collectively navigated a global pandemic, multiple elections around the world and the continued fight against bad actors looking for new ways to take advantage of people online.”
The Drum dives into the biggest findings from the report.
- The pandemic threw up a bunch of new challenges to police fraudulent behavior, particularly around ads selling price-gouging products like N-95 masks, fake cures, and fake vaccine treatments.
- 99m Covid-related ads were blocked, just a small portion of the 3.1bn ads that Google removed for violating policies. It says that’s 5,900 per minute, showing the scale of the company, and rule-breaking ads.
- 6.4bn ads were ‘restricted’, 1.7m advertiser accounts were suspended for “egregious” policy violations”.
- More than 40 new policies were added or updated.
- Meanwhile, the balance between brand safety and publisher monetization raged on. Google removed ads from over 1.3bn pages (21m more than 2019) It took “site-level action” on nearly 1.6m publishers. This list of publishers would be an interesting, and long, read.
- Then there was the volatile US elections. Tech giants urged to freeze political advertising. Google says it had verified over 5,400 election advertisers. It temporarily paused more than 5m election ads and blocked ads on over 3bn Search queries immediately following the election. It launched political ad libraries in the US, UK, EU, India, Israel, Taiwan, Australia and New Zealand.
How it changed
- Google says it increasingly had to tailor its ad product based on geography, local laws, and its 2020-launched certification programs designed to police placements in health and pharma in particular.
- Spencer said: “Over the past several years, we’ve seen an increase in country-specific ad regulations, and restricting ads allows us to help advertisers follow these requirements regionally with minimal impact on their broader campaigns.
- There was an “uptick in opportunistic advertising and fraudulent behavior from actors looking to mislead users last year.” They used cloaking, represented fake platforms, and tried to take users off-platform to operate scams (by phone was the given example).
- To handle fraud, advertiser identity programs were stepped up. Tech was implemented to find the tell-tale signs of these scams, and the review process operated by humans and algorithms were adjusted accordingly, Google says.
- 70% more ad accounts disabled for policy violations to more than over 1.7m.

Plan for dealership
Ferrari ready to roar at new Glasgow showroom
The Glasgow dealership could open by the end of the year
Life may have slowed down for most of us during the drawn-out days of the pandemic but there are plans in store for those who like living in the fast lane.
Scotland’s second Ferrari dealership is being planned for a site in Renfrewshire formerly occupied by Nissan’s luxury vehicle division which left at the end of March.
Sytner Group has applied to Renfrewshire Council for full permission to develop ‘Ferrari Glasgow’ at the former Infiniti site in Braehead.
The group’s Graypaul has a dealership at Fort Kinnaird, Edinburgh, and wants its Glasgow outlet to provide a similar valet/workshop to service and MOT vehicles, as well as make external alterations and reconfigure the car park. There is also a proposal for outline permission for a jet wash building. A decision is expected in December.
Glasgow’s Infiniti dealership was opened in 2010 but closed alongside what remained of the Nissan premium sister brand’s UK retail network earlier this year.
Ferrari’s UK franchised retailers have been in the process of both upgrading and expanding the Italian supercar manufacturers dealerships and scope of operations in recent months.
Councillor John Shaw, who represents the area, said the plans were already attracting plenty of attention.
He told the Glasgow Times: “The planning application has certainly generated a lot of interest as it’s just a wee bit out of the ordinary.” | <urn:uuid:3f121cee-802b-4d17-8358-0ad7c2588977> | CC-MAIN-2022-05 | https://dailybusinessgroup.co.uk/2020/10/ferrari-ready-to-roar-at-new-glasgow-showroom/ | 2022-01-19T10:40:34Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-05/segments/1642320301309.22/warc/CC-MAIN-20220119094810-20220119124810-00690.warc.gz | en | 0.966107 | 339 |
I will not leave you comfortless; I will come to you—John 14:18
Some people do not believe that Jesus understands human suffering or problems. They accept his deity; that he is God come down to earth to die on the cross to save us from our sins, but they cannot accept that while he was on earth he was God/Man. He had a body, he needed rest, and food. He enjoyed earthly life as we do. Jesus connected to others and enjoyed wonderful relationships. His ministry was not only preaching, teaching, and healing, it was comforting others in their distress. He developed friendships, laughed, and felt sorrow. How often the spiritual darkness of people saddened him. Though truth and light were with them, they rejected him, refused to believe in him. Once, when he was looking out over Jerusalem he was sorrowed to the point of weeping. His instinct was to comfort them, they were lost and didn’t realize it, rejected him, and he knew their fate (Luke 19:41).
Think of the times you have needed comforting. It did not have to be about death as you mourned the passing of a loved one, but other times as well. So many situations and circumstances on earth can distress and unsettle us. So many things arise that leave us sorrowed, disappointed, or fretting. Even in these times Jesus, who is not only Lord of lords and King of kings, but our Friend also, will come to us to comfort us.
A true friend who is connected to you knows what to say when you need to be comforted. She knows what to do for you to bring comfort into your situation. He knows what to extend that is practical and needful. That is Christ with us. His way is one of comforting, not making us feel worse, not commiserating and leaving us in the same condition he found us; but comforting us in our sorrow, our distress, our fear. Jesus’ love for his disciples and followers assured they would be cared for after his ascension into heaven, they would not be comfortless. He understood they would be joyful that death had not won, and he was not buried in the grave, but alive and risen, yet they would be grieved, they would miss his physical presence. They would rejoice in their risen and glorified Savior but mourn the loss of their physical friend and companion. Jesus promised he would not leave them comfortless and he didn’t. He sent the Holy Spirit whom he also sends to us, to comfort us when comfort is needed.
Because God wants us to grow and strengthen and increase our faith, he does not rearrange life in order that we avoid the things that grieve or disappoint us, but he will comfort us and his comfort will be enough for us, to help us endure, hold up, hold on, persevere, and be strong. In this promise we can rejoice: our Savior is waiting for us to invite him to share our life with him. If we open our heart to him he will come in and comfort us in whatever circumstances we may find ourself in.
Invite Jesus into your circumstances so you may be comforted, pray this promise over your own emotions and circumstances, pray also for your loved ones and others that they too may experience the comfort of Jesus in their life and circumstances. Let’s Pray
Jesus, your comfort is just what we need in life. As our lives take so many twists and turns and situations arise; how many times we need to be comforted; we are not always asking for a way out or around, but simply to receive comfort. Thank you for caring! Thank you for coming into our circumstances and comforting us. You do not forsake us and you do not leave us comfortless. Amen

Another day, another new job for Tim Tebow.
The former NFL QB turned aspiring Major League Baseball player turned failed NFL tight end is now onto a new venture, and that involves debating Stephen A. Smith on ESPN’s hit show ‘First-Take’.
The network announced changes to the show, diverting from the long-standing model of two permanent hosts and moving to Stephen A. debating a carousel of co-hosts, which on Friday, will be Tebow. Instead of two daily debaters, Smith will be joined by a rotating cast of characters.
On other days, Smith and host Molly Qerim Rose will be joined by a wide variety of contributors: “Paul Finebaum, Keyshawn Johnson, Mina Kimes, Kimberley A. Martin, Monica McNutt, Jessica Mendoza, Chiney Ogwumike, Dan Orlovsky, Kendrick Perkins, Marcus Spears, Brian Windhorst, Damien Woody and many more.”

Bitcoin starts yet another 2022 week in the red with a 2% loss in 24 hours and a 13.5% loss in 7 days. The benchmark crypto has been on a downtrend since the end of 2021 and could potentially dip further due to macroeconomic factors.

Analysts at global banking giant JPMorgan say that Ethereum (ETH) competitors will challenge the top altcoin’s decentralized finance (DeFi) dominance of the crypto markets this year.
In a recent report, analysts led by JPMorgan managing director Nikolaos Panigirtzoglou say that ETH’s 70% market share of the DeFi space will continue to drop because the blockchain’s sharding upgrade is still at least a year away.
Ethereum’s market share of the DeFi space is already down 30% since January 2021.
“In our mind, this optimistic view about ETH’s dominance is at risk.
This is because the scaling of the Ethereum network, which is necessary for the Ethereum network to maintain its dominance, might arrive too late.” | <urn:uuid:ebb7bd97-c236-4695-886e-6a1d10c094e5> | CC-MAIN-2022-05 | https://dailytruthreport.com/terra-luna-avalanche-avax-and-four-additional-ethereum-rivals-mounting-serious-challenge-to-eth-in-2022-jpmorgan-analysis/ | 2022-01-19T11:13:51Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-05/segments/1642320301309.22/warc/CC-MAIN-20220119094810-20220119124810-00690.warc.gz | en | 0.916576 | 165 |

So I just got new bookshelves, which means I now have space to hold more books, but they actually served as a good motivator to finally get rid of a stack of books sitting next to my old shelves that I’ve been meaning to unhaul for a while now.
When I first started thinking about why I own and keep books, I went through my shelves and pulled out everything that didn’t meet my criteria for keeping a book and put them in a stack to donate. I never actually donated them, though, so the stack has just been slowly growing. Then I went through my physical TBR to try and shrink it down, and the stack grew even more.
That stack has been sitting next to the bookshelves in my bedroom for months, and when we decided to upgrade to new ones and get rid of the old ones, we finally got rid of the unhaul stack, too.
I’d love to be able to sell some of these and use the money on more books, but I don’t think there’s really a great place to do this in New York. I’m more than happy to donate them, though, and that was the original plan; I actually wanted to take them to Housing Works since I knew the proceeds from the book sales would go to a good cause. But my unhaul stack grew so much that I would have had take multiple trips to get them all up there, and I just wasn’t ready for that commitment. So this time I actually just put them in my apartment’s community library, but my goal going forward is to make sure and take the books I’m unhauling to Housing Works before the unhaul stack gets too big!
Unfortunately, I didn’t think to actually put this post together until after I got rid of all of these books, so I don’t have any photos to share with you, but next time I’ll do better!
Also, just to be clear, the fact that I didn’t like these books is in no way a reflection on your tastes if you love them! They just didn’t work for me for various reasons, which I’ve detailed below.
Anyways, on to the books!
Forbidden by Beverly Jenkins: While there were parts of this book that I liked, overall I thought it was just ok and not something I really want hanging around on my shelves. I absolutely plan to read more Beverly Jenkins though!
The Diary of a Young Girl by Anne Frank: So this is absolutely an important book to read, but it’s not my favorite. I don’t want my criticism to in any way take away from Anne’s horrifying experience or the importance of accounts like hers, but at the end of the day, this is a young girl’s diary and I wasn’t that interested in it. I might have kept it anyways for its importance, but I have a super old copy that I got at a used book sale years ago, and I’d rather have a nice copy of this book if I were to keep it.
Ireland by Joseph Coohill: I bought this on a trip to Ireland because I think Ireland has such an interesting history and I wanted to learn more, but I didn’t want to get too massive of a history book. I might have been better off with the bigger book, though, because I thought this glossed over too many things and generally didn’t satisfy my desire to learn more about Irish history.
Shadowhouse Fall by Daniel Jose Older: I was super excited to get an arc of this at BookCon even though I hadn’t read Shadowshaper yet because I’d heard amazing things about it from Leigh Bardugo. When I finally read Shadowshaper, I thought it was just ok, and I didn’t like it enough to continue the series. I was going to anyways because I had the arc, but when I tried to make myself sit down and read it, I just couldn’t do it. So it got unhauled.
Take Me by Bella Andre: This was a book club pick, and we pretty much all disliked it. There was a lot of emphasis on the heroine’s plus-sized figure, but no one thought she was really plus sized. Also, the hero could be really mean to the heroine and had some controlling tendencies. And then there was the fake wedding that was actually real…it was just a lot, and I have no desire to keep this on my shelves.
I, Eliza Hamilton by Susan Holloway Scott: My friend Kelcee was super nice and stood in line to get this for me at BookCon when the arc dropped because I was in a panel, but I thought I was having her grab a copy of An Extraordinary Union by Alyssa Cole for me and only realized I gave her the wrong time when she handed me this book. I’ve read and enjoyed Hamilton by Ron Chernow and am not particularly interested in a fictional account of Eliza Hamilton, so I decided to unhaul it because I have too many other books I’d rather read.
No Good Deed by Goldy Moldavsky: Ugh, I tried not to succumb to the lure of free books I wasn’t interested in when I was at BookCon, but this one got me. It was sitting right next to Shadowhouse Fall, so I grabbed it. But I just don’t think I’m going to read this, so it got cleared out.
Empire of Cotton by Sven Beckert: I actually kept this book on my shelves for a while as a trophy for finishing it. It sounds like an interesting book, but it wound up being a pretty academic and tedious read, and eventually I decided that the joy I got in knowing I completed it didn’t outweigh my bitterness over what a disappointing book this was, so it went into the unhaul pile.
My Name is Memory by Ann Brashares: I actually really liked this book when I read it in high school / early college. But I remember it ending on a bit of a cliffhanger, and the sequel was never published. At this point, I think it’s safe to say it never will be, so I don’t see myself rereading this and suffering that cliffhanger again. I can always repurchase it if a sequel is ever published and I feel the need to own it again.
The Golden Compass by Philip Pullman: This was another free book from BookCon, though in my defense, when I followed the directions on a sign telling me to ask at a certain counter for a special His Dark Materials prize, I didn’t realize it would include a copy of a book I already own. It also came with a print, which is gorgeous and hanging up in my office right now, but I don’t need a second copy of this book, especially when it doesn’t match the copies I already have.
Falling Kingdoms by Morgan Rhodes: This sounded like an interesting YA fantasy series, but I did not like it at all. I thought a lot of the characters were juvenile and irritating and I didn’t like the storyline or character development. I have no interest in continuing this series.
Kiss of Deception by Mary E. Pearson: I enjoyed this book, but it’s another one where I don’t feel the need to continue the series. I thought the premise of not knowing who was the prince and who was the assassin was interesting, but I just felt like nothing really happened in this book. Plus the sequels are massive, and their summaries don’t make it sound like they’re worth the time investment.
Daughter of Smoke and Bone by Laini Taylor: I bought this used on Amazon and was not happy when I got a former library book because the description didn’t indicate that it would be. I still read it, though, and when I wound up enjoying it, I bought the pretty U.K. edition instead, so this particular copy was unhauled.
Reinventing American Health Care by Ezekiel Emanuel: I bought this to follow along with a health care class I found on Coursera, but thought this was a tough book to get through. I’m not sure how much I ultimately got out of it as I really don’t remember anything, so when I started running out of room on my nonfiction shelf, I decided to donate it.
Cinder by Marissa Meyer: I know a lot of people love this series, but I thought it was just ok. I actually am not sure why I read the entire four-book series, because by the time I finished it I decided it was largely a waste of my time to read it. I should have stopped after the first book. I thought the characters were kind of juvenile and that the scope of the conflict got way too big for Meyer to handle and overall just didn’t love the characters or find their story arcs particularly satisfying.
The Arabian Nights: I love the idea of Arabian Nights and I enjoy a lot of stories inspired by them, but I generally didn’t enjoy reading this Barnes & Noble edition. It just wasn’t that interesting or engaging overall and sometimes I had a hard time keeping track of what story within a story I was in. As you might have already noticed in this post, I don’t feel the need to hang on to classics that I didn’t personally like, and that’s what happened with this one.
A History of the World in 6 Glasses by Tom Standage: So the premise of this book is super interesting. As the title suggests, it looks at the importance of six beverages in terms of the development of today’s world. Those beverages are: beer, wine, spirits, coffee, tea, and cola. I actually enjoyed learning about each of those things, but overall thought this book didn’t go far enough in-depth on them. I actually would have preferred this book to be much longer so each beverage could be adequately addressed.
American Street by Ibi Zaboi: I picked this up to participate in a local book club, but wound up not actually going to the book club meeting about this book. I still read it and overall enjoyed it, but it just didn’t stick with me enough to justify keeping it on my shelves.
The Dialogues of Plato Vol. 1: Euthyphro, Apology, Crito, Meno, Gorgias, Menexenus (translated by R. Allen): I bought this for a class in college and read a number of these dialogues, but I never got around to finishing the rest of them. I can admit to myself now that I will probably never collect the other volumes and read them, so I think it’s time to let this copy go.
The Star-Touched Queen by Roshani Chokshi: I think I went into this book thinking it was going to be something it wasn’t, so I wound up being pretty disappointed in it. I think I would have enjoyed it a lot more if I hadn’t been so disappointed, but that definitely made it just an ok read for me, so I decided to unhaul it.
Ms. Marvel Vol. 1 by G. Willow Wilson: I picked this up for the Book Riot Read Harder Challenge. I didn’t mind it, but I’m not sure graphic novels and comics are my medium of choice. I don’t really feel the need to continue with this series, so into the unhaul pile it went.
Modern Lovers by Emma Straub: I bought a signed copy of this book to support Emma Straub’s bookstore, Books Are Magic, but wound up just finding the book ok. So even though it would be cool to keep a signed copy, since it’s not personalized, I don’t have a personal reason to outweigh my so-so feelings about this book.
So there you have it! The 22-books I finally unhauled last week. Let me know in the comments if you’ve unhauled any books lately! | <urn:uuid:08eb9db4-1ada-4f7e-b97b-1fbbdab4d770> | CC-MAIN-2022-05 | https://danisbookshelf.com/2017/10/25/22-book-unhaul-october-2017/ | 2022-01-19T10:32:11Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-05/segments/1642320301309.22/warc/CC-MAIN-20220119094810-20220119124810-00690.warc.gz | en | 0.975628 | 2,583 |
It’s been a minute since I’ve done a review, but I’m so excited to be participating in the blog tour for People We Meet on Vacation! Beach Read was an honorable mention in my list of favorite books I read in 2020, so of course People We Meet on Vacation was one of my most anticipated reads this spring and I was thrilled to be invited to this blog tour.
For starters, People We Meet on Vacation is NOT a sequel to Beach Read, so you don’t have to have read Beach Read in order to enjoy this one! Though of course, if you like one, there’s a good chance you’ll like the other.
People We Meet on Vacation is a friends to lovers romance following Poppy and Alex. These two seemingly opposite people meet in college, where they realize they’re from neighboring small hometowns in Ohio. They don’t become best friends until a road trip home together, and after that, the rest is history.
But as the book opens, we learn that something happened during their annual summer vacation two years ago that changed things between the two of them, and they haven’t talked since. But Poppy misses Alex and texts him about maybe doing another trip together again. Only Alex already has plans to go to his brother’s wedding in Palm Springs, so they agree to turn that trip into their joint vacation.
What follows is the two of them gradually reconnecting and eventually talking about what happened two summers ago during what turns out to be the trip from hell, alternating with flashbacks to previous trips the two of them have taken together throughout the years.
Unfortunately, I do have to admit that this book didn’t really work for me. I think if I had stopped to read the description instead of diving right in off the high of Beach Read, I might have adjusted my expectations and enjoyed People We Meet on Vacation more. You see, I’m just not the biggest fan of friends to lovers! It’s a trope that I think has a lot of angst that I don’t particularly enjoy, and often I just want to shake the couple and tell them they should have figured this stuff out years ago!! So this was already not going to be my favorite book based on that alone.
I also think the flashbacks will be polarizing. I know they really worked for others in showing how Alex and Poppy’s relationship grew and evolved throughout the years and why they didn’t get together sooner, but there were just. So. Many. Flashbacks. Pretty much every other chapter for a good three quarters of the book is a flashback to their different vacations together, but I felt like the flashbacks were them dancing around each other while nothing much happened in the contemporary timeline. It just felt like nothing happened for the longest time. And then things finally happen and I thought we’d be racing towards the finish line, but no. Things slow down again and I was back to being bored and frustrated by the two of them.
While I ultimately enjoyed but didn’t love this book, I do think it will work for a lot of people. Jenica at Firewhiskey Reader LOVES friends to lovers and absolutely adored this book! If you liked Beach Read, this books gives off a lot of the same vibes. Henry has such a unique voice that I didn’t appreciate until I read People We Meet on Vacation and noticed it, and they both have beautiful stories of growth and identity with the heroines.
I also really, really loved that this book talked about Poppy having her dream job and still being unfulfilled. I haven’t personally experienced that, but I have done a dramatic career change because of unfulfillment in my career, and I wish talking about careers like that was something I saw more of in contemporary romances. I turn to reading a lot to try things on for size and think through different issues, and I maybe would have recognized my unhappiness with my career sooner or started thinking through different options if more romances touched on this topic, rather than featuring characters who always knew what careers they wanted to do. So it was just really refreshing to see that be a topic in this book.
And of course, it’s impossible to read this and not root for Alex and Poppy to find a way to make things work when they so clearly belong together. There are a lot of great reasons why they hadn’t gotten together earlier in the book, and I really liked how Henry addressed them and didn’t just brush them off. You love to see characters recognizing therapy could really help them rather than just relying on each other to address the complicated issues they’re dealing with!
I’m just so bummed because I was really expecting to love this book, and then I…didn’t. I think I would have enjoyed it a lot more if I hadn’t gone in with such high expectations and had realized what type of book it was, so hopefully this review can help you gauge whether People We Meet on Vacation is the right fit for you and how likely you are to enjoy it. I really hope you love it if you decide to pick it up! Let me know in the comments whether you have plans to read it.
Oh! And be prepared for this book to make you want to travel again. I was a little caught off guard by how much I miss traveling while reading this, though that might also be because I’ve been to a lot of the places Alex and Poppy visit in this book. It was definitely bittersweet to read about!

Artist/activist Rose McGowan has made a startling revelation. She accused director Alexander Payne of sexual misconduct that occurred back when she was 15 years old. Payne was in his 20s at the time. The Charmed actress made the revelations on Twitter and Instagram, while also demanding an apology from the Academy Award-winning director.
Rose McGowan exposes Alexander Payne
McGowan openly accused Payne of sexual misconduct. She said that the director “groomed” her and raped her when she was 15 years old. At that age, it becomes a case of statutory rape for Payne. The actress tweeted:
Alexander Payne. You sat me down & played a soft-core porn movie you directed for Showtime under a different name. I still remember your apartment in Silverlake. You are very well-endowed. You left me on a street corner afterwards. I was 15. pic.twitter.com/mVqiN4S9NW
— Rose McGowan (@rosemcgowan) August 17, 2020
Furthermore, Rose McGowan also said in a follow-up tweet that she wants only an “acknowledgment and an apology” and that she does not want to “destroy” him. Moreover, McGowan’s allegations line up with an interview she gave to famous journalist Ronan Farrow back in 2018. When Farrow asked McGowan if she was willing to tell the story, she said:
Right now? In general, sure. Right now at this moment? I’ve had a big day. It would make this night very spectacular, I assure you. But let me tell you: He worked for my rapist and won Oscars.
However, McGowan did reveal the details of the sexual misconduct done by that person (revealed to be Alexander Payne):
He took me home, after he met me, and showed me a soft-porn movie he’d made for Showtime, under a different name, of course … And then he had s*x with me. And then he left me next to Tropical in Silver Lake, standing on a street corner.
McGowan was also one of the first women to come forward and publically accuse Harvey Weinstein, the disgraced Hollywood Mogul, and convicted felon. Later, Rose McGowan went on Instagram and shared her feelings about the revelation against Alexander Payne.
Rose details her experience on Instagram
In her recent Instagram post, Rose McGowan talked in detail about how she dealt with Alexander Payne’s sexual misconduct over the years. She said:
Last night I dropped a bomb of truth. For years I had thought a man I had sexual relations with was a a sexual experience I had. I now know I was groomed. I auditioned for him at 15. After my experience with him, I quit acting entirely until I was ‘discovered’ at 21. When that happened, I was like, f*ck it, let’s do this.
Moreover, McGowan reveals that she even “congratulated” Payne on his Oscar win back in 2012. At the time, she was deep in the Hollywood cult. But, it was Weinstein’s story that made her re-evaluate that experience. hat’s when she realized she was “groomed” by Alexander Payne for statutory rape. Even then, she was more concerned of his career. She said:
I feel badly about throwing a bomb into someone’s life and career, but I guess that’s social conditioning. I’m more sad than angry. Sad for 15 year-old me. Sad for the adult me that still thought it was a choice I made. Grooming is real. I want you all to know that it’s not your fault if you were mentally massaged into thinking it’s okay. It is not. I know this now.
Rose McGowan further says how sexual relations with a minor is a crime, and no matter what, the “shame” is not for the victims, but the criminals. Currently, Alexander Payne is working with HBO on a miniseries “The Landscapers” starring Olivia Colman. Both HBO and Alexander Payne’s representatives have declined to comment on McGowan’s accusations.

Last night I dropped a bomb of truth. For years I had thought a man I had sexual relations with was a a sexual experience I had. I now know I was groomed. I auditioned for him at 15. After my experience with him, I quit acting entirely until I was ‘discovered’ at 21. When that happened, I was like, fuck it, let’s do this. I even tweeted a congratulations on his Oscar win in 2012, that’s how deep in the Cult of Hollywood I was. It wasn’t until three weeks after the Weinstein story broke that I re-evaluated the situation. I feel badly about throwing a bomb into someone’s life and career, but I guess that’s social conditioning. I’m more sad than angry. Sad for 15 year-old me. Sad for the adult me that still thought it was a choice I made. Grooming is real. I want you all to know that it’s not your fault if you were mentally massaged into thinking it’s okay. It is not. I know this now. I would even go up to this director at events and ask him, with a smile, “remember when you had sex with me at 15?” And I would laugh it off. That is deep societal programming. If you are out there trying to have sex with an underage minor, you are committing a crime, even if the minor doesn’t know it. I was attracted to him, so I thought it was on me, but that’s not correct. I was not an adult. When it happened, I’d recently been left behind in Hollywood by a family member to fend for myself. The wolves preyed. Please recognize that if this has happened to you, the shame is not yours, it’s theirs. Give it back. Groomers are skilled operators and at 15, I was not aware of the warning signs. I named him on Twitter, but since Instagram is my softer side, I just don’t want his name here. Goddess bless us all, except for those that abuse their power. Here’s to freedom, yours and mine. | <urn:uuid:66cc9549-f02d-4a8b-ab73-1300a1fc8e6b> | CC-MAIN-2022-05 | https://dankanator.com/75367/rose-mcgowan-alexander-payne-groomed-raped-age-15/ | 2022-01-19T10:29:27Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-05/segments/1642320301309.22/warc/CC-MAIN-20220119094810-20220119124810-00690.warc.gz | en | 0.982883 | 1,381 |

Everything you need to know about the ILV token
Illuvium is an exciting Ethereum-based project that merges blockchain-based gaming with decentralized finance and cryptocurrencies. To achieve that bridge, Illuvium heavily relies on its native token, ILV.
ILV is a traditional ERC-20 token that performs a wide variety of central functions on the Illuvium platform. In this article, we’ll take a closer look at the staking opportunities Illuvium players can benefit from—through ILV, as well as the governance functions it facilitates.
Staking ILV tokens is one of the easiest ways to earn passive rewards on the Illuvium platform. As all in-game rewards on Illuvium are distributed in ILV, it is very easy to start earning even more by staking your rewards.
To stake Illuvium tokens, all a player needs is an Ethereum-based wallet with some ILV and ETH in it. Staking transactions require ETH to cover the gas fees. Once there’s ETH in your wallet, you can go to the Illuvium Staking page and follow the steps below.
- Connect your wallet to the Illuvium platform
- Click on “Stake” and browse through the available Core Pools. You have a choice between staking ILV only or staking SLP (ETH/ILV token can be found on Sushi.com)
- Click the “Stake” button next to the pool you’ve chosen
- Next, you have to decide whether you’d like your stake to be flexible or locked. You can easily withdraw flexible stakes, however locked stakes offer multiplier rewards.
- You’ll receive a prompt from your wallet detailing the gas fees for the transaction. If you’re happy, approve it. If not, go back and shift around the numbers until you’re happy.
- After that, players need to choose how they want to receive their staking rewards – in ILV or sILV. ILV rewards have a lock-up period of 12 months, while sILV rewards can be withdrawn immediately and used in-game.
- Finally, check out the “Vesting” tab, where you can see when your rewards will become withdrawable.
That’s it. In several easy steps, you can become an ILV stakeholder, allowing you to further boost the monetary value of your in-game rewards.
If you are looking for an easy way to get your hands on some ILV tokens, you can always use the DappRadar Token Swap. There you can exchange any ERC-20 token for ILV and start staking or participating in the governance of the Illuvium platform.
Illuvium Governance Structure
One of the main goals behind the Illuvium platform is to create a gaming experience that is open, transparent, and governed by the community. In order to achieve that, the developers’ team introduced the Illuvinati Council.
ILV holders are the only ones who can elect members of The Illuvinati Council. Suppose, as a player, you have ILV in your wallet. That ILV, no matter how much you have, empowers you to be a voting community member. You can participate in the protocol’s governance in a number of ways. , You get the opportunity to push forward a nomination for the Illuvinati Council. You also can cast votes in the election and pick a community member to serve on the Council. Again, regardless of how much ILV is in your wallet, you have a voice in the direction of this project. Quadratic voting keeps the governance process as fair and transparent as possible. It ensures that whale wallets that have significant amounts of ILV are not favored when voting for the Illuvinati Council happens.
ILV token holders can also put forward formal proposals to change the system configuration and back-end organization of the platform as Illuvium Configuration Change Proposals (ICCPs), or to recommend improvements to the game and DAO as Illuvium Improvement Proposals (IIPs). . Proposals are submitted on the official Illuvium GitHub page and then voted on by ILV holders.
Stay tuned to find out more about the development of the Illuvium ecosystem, and check out their DappRadar page. | <urn:uuid:6af2c67a-673d-47fc-850e-52b6ae826839> | CC-MAIN-2022-05 | https://dappradar.com/blog/illuvium-governance-token-and-staking-opportunities | 2022-01-19T11:33:23Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-05/segments/1642320301309.22/warc/CC-MAIN-20220119094810-20220119124810-00690.warc.gz | en | 0.942059 | 920 |

ISEB Accreditation: Chapter 1
I've been spending the past few days a little out of my comfort zone. No, not because I've been in Manchester, instead of London, but because I've gone back to "data protection school", as it were, and have been preparing myself for a professional exam in date protection. I'm referring to the Certificate in Data Protection, which is awarded by the Information Systems Examination Board.
This stuff is a little out of my comfort zone because it requires me to know just what the law says. I’m used, in my normal working life, to applying common sense to issues that face me, rather than having to refer to first principles and rely purely on what the law provides. So, it's been fun to remind myself about just what it is that the law does say, as it's often so helpful to go further than the strict letter of the law, and offer advice based on what I think ought to be acceptable to my company and its customers.
All of the delegates on this course are determined to sit the ISEB exam, and not just attend to familiarise themselves with some of the key elements. There is a great variety of prior data protection experience among the delegates, which is incredibly helpful, as it prompts discussion about the elegance with which the beloved Data Protection Act 1998 was drafted. I remember some of the discussions that were held behind the scenes, so to speak, as much of the implementing legislation was developed, following the adoption of the main Data Protection Directive back in the early 1990s.
Considerable time was spent back then discussing how clear the Parliamentary language ought to be - with some people hoping that it could be as confusing as possible, so as to put people off from trying to work out what their rights actually were, and subsequently from taking action to enforce them.
Well, we have been left with is a piece of legislation which certainly put off all but the most determined to enforce their rights through the courts.
Our course trainer, the wonderful Sue Cullen, is one of the stalwarts of the current data protection regime. She was part of a very small legal team that took a couple of legal points, about subject access rights and the definition of personal data, to the Court of Appeal back in 2003. Unfortunately, the Court appeared to take such a dislike to the defendant and his case that the leading Judge, Lord Justice Auld, took the opportunity to make a number of statements that didn't quite square with what many people (including people in the European Commission and a bunch of people from what was then known as the Data Protection Registrar’s Office) thought the law actually meant.
And, because no one else has had the funds (or the temerity) to ask the Court of Appeal to think again on the relevant issues since 2003, some of the stuff I am learning about is certainly stuff that would be frowned upon by European Commission (and by our chums in Wilmslow), and consequently they are hoping to change British law through the implementation of "that" Regulation, of which I'll try not to refer any more today.
Some homework before bed time, and I’m now looking forward to returning to the classroom for the second round of this intensive course the week after next.
I'm still smiling, and so far I'm extremely glad that I've committed myself to obtaining the Certificate. | <urn:uuid:cab29b44-b279-44d0-8582-1ec006977029> | CC-MAIN-2022-05 | https://dataprotector.blogspot.com/2012/02/iseb-accreditation-chapter-1.html | 2022-01-19T11:10:04Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-05/segments/1642320301309.22/warc/CC-MAIN-20220119094810-20220119124810-00690.warc.gz | en | 0.983982 | 697 |

Smoothing out the lather over LinkedIn
Eric has been keen to emphasise that LinkedIn takes privacy very seriously: “I want to be clear about LinkedIn’s priorities when it comes to privacy – we take it very seriously. In fact, our core principle is “Members First” and we strive to put members first in everything we do.”
Shortly after we started rolling out social advertising, however, our members reacted negatively to our efforts, so, looking to our first principle of putting members first, we listened to the feedback, and rolled back the program. Here's the blog post on that: http://blog.linkedin.com/2011/08/11/social-ads-update/
Regarding the existence of the social advertising setting within the LinkedIn Settings panel – we are working on updating that in the near term.
Additionally, FYI, this article appeared in the press yesterday via Reuters: http://blogs.reuters.com/mediafile/2012/01/30/linkedin-alert-shows-users-still-on-edge-about-privacy/.”
I, personally, have absolutely no problem with what LinkedIn have done.
What concerns me is if the European Commission were to create a new data protection rule that forbade LinkedIn acting as they have done. After all, in my view, they are a perfectly respectable data controller that has made changes which they don’t consider to be against the legitimate interests of their customers, and they have done so after making information about the change available to their customers.
What many of their customers did not do (including me) is read the material that was published which explained these changes. Why? Presumably, because, like me, they already live in a world of information overload, and they do not have the mental capacity to comprehend the changes that so many controllers make to their privacy policies. And if they don’t have the mental capacity to comprehend so many changes, they certainly won’t be able to “consent” to these changes, given the proposed definition of consent in the draft Regulation.
The mighty Eduardo Ustaran (he of Field Fisher Waterhouse fame) is also concerned at the implications of an over reliance on consent as a condition for legitimising data processing. We both agree that the harder the Commission pushes on consent, the more devalued it gets.
So what is to be done, in this ever more complicated world?
Well, I think it’s time to relax a little, and give responsible data controllers some more slack. We need to balance the legitimate interests of individuals with the legitimate interests of responsible data controllers, who are passionate about providing the best services to their customers. We need to have the confidence to allow data controllers to constantly innovate to improve their offerings to their customers. If the customer doesn’t like it, then they can always blog about it - and very soon their gripe will reach the laptop screens of those who matter. And if the customer really doesn’t like it, they can (generally) find a competing service on the internet.
The last thing we really want to do is to enter into a negative world, one where it’s easy for people to be fobbed off with an excuse along the lines that they can’t have a particular service “because of data protection”. People are never going to be able to be clever enough to understand everything that happens to their personal data. And in the vast majority of instances, this is not a problem as these processes don’t cause harm to the individual.
Let’s try to create a new data protection instrument where it’s easier for controllers to feel free to innovate, rather than restrict them simply because their customers are insufficiently engaged with them to offer informed consent every time they want to try something a bit new.

Pump Station Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) of Inlet and Discharge Manifolds
Location: Nyah, Victoria
Timeframe: August 2016
Challenge: The client required a pump station to be changed from one large pump to 3 smaller pumps operating in parallel so that operating low flow rates would be more efficient. Unfortunately, the space available to connect the three pumps was rather limited. Therefore the inlet and discharge manifold design needed to be optimised to avoid excessive head loss and cavitation. A Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) analysis was performed on the proposed intake and discharge manifolds at the Pump Station. The primary purpose of undertaking this study was to determine any ill effects of upgrading the pumps.
Services: FEA, CFD, Design Engineering
Solution: The pumping arrangement was modelled and analysed with CFD to ensure optimal flow through the manifolds under flow conditions. It was concluded that the design of the inlet manifold resulted in one that could eliminate dangerous flow occurrences such as near inlet vortices, high swirl, and cavitation. However, space limitations did not allow for an ideal inlet approach flow field, and levels of small-scale turbulence had to be tolerated by the pumps. | <urn:uuid:e6ec54c3-5cbe-43a1-82e5-7a0dc5bf416f> | CC-MAIN-2022-05 | https://deaconengineers.com.au/portfolio/computational-fluid-dynamics-cfd-pump-station/ | 2022-01-19T10:48:50Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-05/segments/1642320301309.22/warc/CC-MAIN-20220119094810-20220119124810-00690.warc.gz | en | 0.956307 | 253 |

It’s been eight years since Wes Anderson went stop-motion for Fantastic Mr. Fox, an adaptation of Roald Dahl’s children’s book that ended up with two Oscar nominations, including Best Animated Feature. He returns to the genre along with partner Indian Paintbrush armed with that success (and know-how) for Isle Of Dogs, which upon first blush maintains Mr. Fox‘s visual sensibility but creates a new world in some sort of version of Japan.
The pic centers on Atari Kobayashi, 12-year-old ward to corrupt Mayor Kobayashi. When, by executive decree, all the canine pets of Megasaki City are exiled to a vast garbage-dump called Trash Island, Atari sets off alone in search of his bodyguard-dog, Spots. There, with the assistance of a pack of newly found mongrel friends, he begins an epic journey that will decide the fate and future of the entire Prefecture.
The voice cast is as loaded as Fox‘s was: Anderson regulars Bill Murray and Jeff Goldblum, Bryan Cranston, Ed Norton, Scarlett Johansson, Tilda Swinton, Greta Gerwig, Liev Schreiber, Bob Balaban, Francis McDormand and Harvey Keitel, Ken Watanabe, Courtney B. Vance, and more. Anderson, Scott Rudin, Steven Rales and Jeremy Dawson are producers.
Fox Searchlight opens the pic March 23, 2018. It is Anderson’s first pic since 2014’s Grand Budapest Hotel, which scored eight Oscar nominations including for Best Picture, winning five.

It was a week that wasn?t meant to be but it was. When it seemed as if the week was to fall apart, Kevin and Scott convinced me to haul my ass into Carroll?s to jam. Trister is out all the rest of the month, Jason has band practice with a bunch of others, Brotpen is preparing his legal battle regarding is broken leg from 4 years ago and Coffee would have none of it..
Scraping up a guitarist and a keyboardist seemed impossible and it was going to be just Scott, Kevin and I jamming but Kevin was able to do a solid for his furniture buddy friends Ken Levine and Andy Harcup. Andy played a memorable Runaway by Del Shannon in the old Gainesvort days of Deadstein and Andy didn?t disappoint us breaking out the Runaway right away. In addition, Andy alsobrought in the music for Greg Kinn?s the Breakup Song where we kept on doing the chorus ?one more time.?
Ken was picking out some nice leads as Andy and I primarily played rhythm for him and sang a serious Visions of Johanna. Other highlights or moments of the night were playing the Green Day song Wake Me Up When September Ends. We also played Last Time, Good Lovin, After Midnight Around and Around, Black Peter, Ain?t It Crazy, Going Down the Road, Birdsong, Dear Prudence, Friend of the Devil, Ain?t No Sunshine When She?s Gone, Second hat Emotion, Viola Lee Blues. You see we played a full night?s worth of music and Scott shoulder just barely survived but it did.
Looking forward to some first or second string action next week and into the near future. | <urn:uuid:90d19fc2-67c6-4f91-b196-e38b43faa2fe> | CC-MAIN-2022-05 | https://deadstein.com/jam.asp?JamID=608 | 2022-01-19T10:19:38Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-05/segments/1642320301309.22/warc/CC-MAIN-20220119094810-20220119124810-00690.warc.gz | en | 0.971713 | 351 |
