@CharnaD - Can you elaborate on "iframes are not allowed due to the W3C standards"?
If it is an issue, the iframe can be "turned off" using the iframe option:
$.modal.defaults.iframe = false;
Or:
jQueryObject.modal({iframe: false});
The reason for using the iframe is to prevent object bleed-through. Also, the iframe is always used for IE6 to prevent form element bleed-through. There are always other ways, but using an iframe seems to be the "easiest" ;)
@response-guy - I assume that you comment is just spam, but I'm not sure, so I thought I'd let it through.
First, sure an iframe *could* be a security risk, but since you are the developer controlling the code/site, I don't see how that concern is relevant here. Second, what iframe issues are you talking about? Third, this post is from last year.
So, if you are a real person with real questions/concerns, please clarify. | eng | 0be899cd-028e-4499-bf5b-229f71ec0559 | https://www.ericmmartin.com/simplemodal-12-released/ |
THE response to the COVID-19 pandemic has had a profound impact on the well-being of young people. In Australia, COVID-19 control measures, including school closures and social distancing, have meant that high school students are missing out on peer contacts, extracurricular activities and educational opportunities that are vital to healthy development. Additionally, there has been limited consultation with Australian youth when it comes to policy decisions and effective COVID-19 communication and messaging (here).
The consequence of the pandemic and related public health measures has been a decline in their mental and emotional well-being (here, here and here). Adolescents' use of social media also increased in response to physical distancing measures, resulting in increased exposure to COVID-19 misinformation, particularly about vaccinations. The under-representation and involvement of youth in COVID-19 response and recovery efforts has been recognized by the global public health community (here and here).
It is now widely recognized that the Youth Voice is one of the most effective ways to reach young people by considering their perspectives, ideas, experiences, knowledge and actions. UNICEF and Mission Australia conducted surveys to provide youth with a platform to share their lived experiences of the COVID-19 pandemic. However, we must do more than just listen – innovative, inclusive initiatives that engage the voices of youth are needed to address youth concerns and ensure COVID-19 messaging is compatible with youth culture.
Youth Voice in action in western Sydney
In 2021, the delta variant of SARS-CoV-2 caused significant concern in our western Sydney community. In its daily press briefing, the NSW Government highlighted the growing number of COVID-19 cases among children and young people and the risk this group faces for virus transmission. The government's message was that vaccination was the key to progress; However, there have been conflicting messages on immunizations for young people and youth have been largely forgotten when it comes to providing information on COVID-19 and vaccines.
To fill this gap and student concerns in our schools, we held two events in western Sydney, NSW to empower and engage young people as part of a COVID-19 response strategy.
The first initiative was the COVID-19 Youth Voices: Q&A session, which we hosted in partnership with the Western Sydney GP Network. The aim was to address young people's concerns related to COVID-19. The 60-minute session, held via Zoom, was recommended to all high school students (aged 12-18) in western Sydney via email to their schools and on social media. Participants were encouraged to submit their COVID-19 questions prior to the session and were encouraged to ask questions via the Zoom chat feature during the session. The expert panel for the meeting consisted of local GPs and infectious disease experts. All questions were collected and grouped into topics. Bite-sized videos on the most important questions were produced after the event. These videos have been uploaded to our YouTube channel.
Over 100 registrations were received and 92 questions were submitted by the students. Questions covered topics such as SARS-CoV-2 infection, vaccine safety and effectiveness, how to get vaccinated and plans for going back to school. The event was very successful and feedback after the session showed that students felt the session helped improve their understanding of COVID-19 and reduced their fear of COVID-19 and vaccinations.
The second initiative was the Youth Voices COVID-19 video competition. Building on previous work with Youth Voices in high schools, the innovative competition aimed to improve COVID-19 health literacy and vaccine uptake among NSW high school students (aged 12-18) and to provide a skills development opportunity . The event was promoted to high school students across NSW via emails to schools, websites and social media. Students were invited to submit a 45-second video covering one of three subject areas:
COVID-19 Vaccines: Encouraging People to Protect Themselves;
Take care of your well-being during the pandemic; or,
Combating COVID-19 misinformation.
We received 84 videos from 92 students from 43 high schools. Pupils from all years were represented, with the highest proportion coming from the 7th grade (31%). Students used a range of techniques including animation, song and dance, and fictional storytelling to communicate their messages. The key messages from the students were the importance of vaccination and maintaining well-being during a pandemic. The messages were delivered using a variety of techniques, including humor, animation, and Tik-Tok-style videos that included singing and dancing.
Submitted videos were reviewed and evaluated based on the following judging criteria: ability to engage with the target audience (young people), accuracy and impact of messages, creativity and innovation, and compliance with time and file size. The videos were judged by a panel of health and education experts, industry experts and young people.
The top three videos from inside and outside Sydney West received cash prizes. One of the winning videos used the COVID acronym to send a message of hope: "C = Stay connected, O = Get outdoors, V = Get vaccinated, I = Innovate, D = Dream."
The high quality of student-submitted videos led to the creation of additional award categories – Courage, Critical Thinking, Concept, Care and Creativity. The awards were provided through funding from stakeholders including the Australian Medical Association NSW, the Hills and Blacktown Medical Practitioner's Association and the Office of the Advocate for Children and Young People NSW. The winners were announced at an online ceremony attended by 110 people including students, judges and the chief executive of the Western Sydney Local Health District.
Feedback after the competition showed that student participation in the competition improved their understanding of COVID-19 and confidence in receiving a COVID-19 vaccine. The competition was also successful in building the students' leadership, communication and innovation skills. The value of this competition was also reflected in two of the winners being one of four finalists in the NSW Department of Health's Pandemic Response 2022: 7NEWS Young Achiever Awards.
The videos produced were shared with local high schools for promotion through their networks and were re-uploaded to our YouTube and social media channels. To date, the videos have been viewed around 5,000 times.
The above initiatives involving students are clear examples of how activity-based learning enhances interest and understanding of the subject. This is particularly important in communities like western Sydney, which have not only experienced some of the highest COVID-19 case numbers and the strictest lockdown measures, but also have a high proportion of people from low socioeconomic and multicultural backgrounds who have been disproportionately affected by the Pandemic (here and here).
What does this mean for other health crises facing youth?
Despite the dominance of COVID-19 in the public health discussion over the past two years, we should not forget the other human and environmental health challenges facing adolescents. The Youth Voice strategies discussed above could be considered for other public health crises such as: B. the promotion of physical activity and risky behaviors such as the use of e-cigarettes.

How Do You Spell Vacuum Cleaner? the spelling right. The correct spelling is "vacuum cleaner." This article from FriendlyySmile, will help you to understand it properly.
The word comes from the Latin word "vacuus," which means "empty." The first vacuum cleaners were invented in the early 1800s, and they've come a long way since then. Today's vacuums are much more powerful and efficient than their predecessors. Regarding spelling, there are a few other things to keep in mind. For example, the plural form of "vacuum cleaner" is "vacuum cleaners." And if you're referring to a specific vacuum brand, such as Dyson or Hoover, be sure to include the proper trademark symbol (™).
Which is the Correct Vacuum Or Vaccum?
There is some debate over which spelling is correct: vacuum or vaccum. Both are actually considered correct, but vacuum is more widely used. The word comes from the Latin vacuus, meaning "empty," and first appeared in English in the 17th century. It was in the 19th century that the alternate spelling, vaccum, began to be used.
How Do You Use Vacuum Cleaner in a Sentence?
Assuming you would like tips on how to use a vacuum cleaner in a sentence: You can use a vacuum cleaner to clean up any mess, from dirt and dust to crumbs and pet hair. Turn on the vacuum, put the nozzle against the surface you'd like to clean, and move it back and forth until the area is free of debris.
What is a Vacuum Cleaner, in Simple Words?
A vacuum cleaner is a device that uses an air pump to create a partial vacuum to suck up dust and dirt, usually from floors and optionally from other surfaces as well.
What is the Meaning of Vaccum?
A vacuum is a space devoid of matter or, more commonly, an area in which the pressure is much lower than atmospheric pressure. A perfect vacuum would be one in which the pressure is zero, and there are no particles. In practice, however, it is impossible to achieve a perfect vacuum; even so, very high vacuums can be created and maintained. The word "vacuum" comes from the Latin word for "empty," vacuus. The earliest known use of the word in English was in 1550 when it appeared in a book called The Boke of Husbandry by Thomas Tusser.
Vacuum Spelling in American English
If you're an American English speaker, chances are you've never heard of vacuum spelling. It's a relatively new phenomenon that has recently gained popularity. So what is vacuum spelling? It's simply the act of spelling words without using any vowels. So, for example, the word "hello" would be spelled as "hlw." While it may seem like a strange way to spell words, there are a few benefits to using this method.
First, it can help with pronunciation. Removing the vowels from a word forces you to slow down and pronounce each letter more clearly. This can be helpful when learning new vocabulary or trying to improve your pronunciation in general.
Another benefit is that it can save time when writing. Since you don't have to worry about including vowels in your spelling, you can write words faster. This can be especially useful when taking notes or writing essays.
Of course, there are also some drawbacks to vacuum spelling. One is that it can be challenging to read aloud. If you're reading something out loud that someone else has written in vacuum spelling, they may need help understanding what you're saying unless they know the trick themselves.
Another downside is that some people need help learning new vocabulary when all the vowels are removed.
What is Vacuum Cleaner Used for?
A vacuum cleaner, a hoover, is a household appliance used to remove dirt and debris from floors and upholstery. It typically consists of a dustbin, a brush attachment, and an exhaust hose. The vacuum cleaner has been around for over 100 years and was invented by Hubert Cecil Booth in 1901.
Vacuum cleaners are often used on carpets and rugs to remove dirt, dust, pet hair, and other allergens. They can also be used on hard surfaces such as tile or linoleum. Some vacuum cleaners even have attachments that allow them to reach tight spaces or corners.
Vacuum cleaners typically use either an air pump or an electric motor to create suction. The suction created by the vacuum pulls dirt and debris into the dustbin or bag attached to the device. Some newer models of vacuum cleaners even have HEPA filters that trap tiny particles, such as pollen or pet dander, so they don't recirculate back into the air you breathe. If you're looking for a way to keep your home clean and free of allergens, investing in a good quality vacuum cleaner is a great idea!
How to Pronounce Vacuum Cleaner?
Like most people, you don't think about how to pronounce vacuum cleaner very often. However, if you're in the market for a new vacuum cleaner, it's essential to know how to say it correctly. After all, you don't want to purchase a model you can't pronounce accidentally!
Here's a quick rundown on correctly saying vacuum cleaner: The first word, "vacuum," is pronounced like the common English word "vacant." The second word, "cleaner," is pronounced just like it looks – like the English word "cleaner."
Put them together, and you've got a "vacuum cleaner!" Now that you know how to say it correctly, shop for your new vacuum confidently!
Three Uses of Vacuum Cleaners
A vacuum cleaner is a household appliance that many people use to clean carpets, floors, and furniture. There are many different types of vacuum cleaners available on the market, but they all have one common goal – to remove dirt and debris from surfaces. While most people only think of using a vacuum cleaner to clean carpets and floors, there are many other ways this appliance can be used.
Here are three uses for a vacuum cleaner that you may not have thought of:
1. To clean window blinds – Dust and dirt can quickly build up on window blinds, making them difficult to clean. However, you can easily use your vacuum cleaner to remove this dirt. Attach the dusting brush attachment and run it over the blinds in an up-and-down motion.
To clean Venetian blinds – Venetian blinds are notoriously tricky to keep clean due to their numerous blades. The best way to clean them is by using your vacuum cleaner with the dusting brush attachment. Gently run the brush over each blade in an up-and-down motion until all the dirt has been removed.
To clean draperies – Draperies can also be cleaned using your vacuum cleaner and the dusting brush attachment. Start at the top of the drape and work your way down, careful not to miss any areas.
Vacuum Cleaner Price
Price is often one of the most critical factors when choosing a vacuum cleaner. But with such a wide range of prices on the market, it can take time to know how much you should be paying. In this blog post, we'll take a detailed look at vacuum cleaner prices, so you can decide when choosing the suitable model for your home. The average price for a vacuum cleaner is around $100. However, some models range from as little as $30 to over $300. So, what determines how much you should pay for a vacuum cleaner?
Several factors come into play, including features, brand name, and more. Some of the most popular features that drive up a vacuum cleaner's price include powerful suction, cordless operation, and HEPA filters. If you're looking for a top-of-the-line model with all the bells and whistles, you can expect to pay closer to $300.
However, if you're willing to sacrifice some features in exchange for a lower price tag, you can find good quality vacuums for around $100 or even less. It's also worth mentioning that brand name plays a role in determining price. Some of the most popular brands, like Dyson and Shark, tend to command higher prices than lesser-known brands.
This is because they have built up a reputation for quality over the years, and customers are willing to pay more for their products. Finally, keep in mind that cheaper is only sometimes better for vacuum cleaners. Opting for the most affordable model on the market could cost you more in the long run if it doesn't perform well or breaks down quickly.
It's essential to strike a balance between price and quality when selecting your next vacuum to enjoy many years of hassle-free cleaning.
Vacuum Cleaner Synonym
A vacuum cleaner is a device that uses an air pump to create a partial vacuum to suck up dust and dirt, usually from floors. The first manual models were invented in the 1860s, and the first motorized models appeared in the early 1900s. Since their introduction, vacuum cleaners have become an essential part of many households worldwide.
"vacuum cleaner" is a synonym for "dustbuster." Both terms refer to devices that use suction to remove dirt and debris from surfaces. However, "vacuum cleaner" is the more common term used today.
There are several types of vacuum cleaners available on the market today. Upright vacuums are the most popular type, as they are easy to maneuver and can be used on carpeted and hard floors. Canister vacuums are another option, which tend to be lighter and easier to carry than uprights.
Stick vacuums are cordless options that are great for quick cleanups; however, they typically have less power than other vacuums. Handheld vacuums are also available and convenient for cleaning tight spaces or spot-cleaning surfaces.
Best Vacuum Cleaner
When it comes to finding the best vacuum cleaner, there are a few things you need to keep in mind. First, you need to decide what type of vacuum cleaner you want. There are upright vacuum cleaners, canister vacuum cleaners, and handheld vacuum cleaners.
Each has pros and cons, so you'll need to decide which is right for you based on your needs. Once you've decided on the type of vacuum cleaner, the next step is determining what features you need. Do you have pets?
If so, you'll want a vacuum specifically designed for picking up pet hair. Are allergies an issue? Then look for a machine with HEPA filtration.
Do you have hardwood floors? Then look for a model with special attachments for cleaning them effectively. The bottom line is that there's no one "best" vacuum cleaner out there.
The best machine for YOU will depend on your individual needs and preferences. So take some time to figure out what those are before making your final decision.
Vacuum Cleaner Meaning Slang
When it comes to vacuum cleaners, there are a few different types that you might encounter. The most common type of vacuum cleaner is the canister vacuum, which features a large cylinder that houses the motor and dust collector. However, there are also upright vacuums with a motor in the base and a long handle that helps you maneuver the machine around your home.
And then there are handheld vacuums, perfect for spot cleaning or cleaning tight spaces. No matter what type of vacuum cleaner you have, they all serve the same purpose: to clean your floors and carpets of dirt, dust, and other debris. But did you know that vacuum cleaners can also be used as slang?
That's right – in some circles, vacuum cleaners aren't just used for cleaning; they're also used as metaphors for certain situations. For example, if someone says they "got sucked into" something, they were pulled in without realizing what was happening or didn't realize how much time/effort would be required. This is often used when referring to projects or tasks that ended up being more work than anticipated.
For example, "I got sucked into painting my entire house over the weekend." Another everyday use of vacuum cleaner slang is when someone refers to being "sucked dry." This usually means they've been exploited for resources or energy and are left feeling depleted.
If you're wondering how to spell vacuum cleaner, the answer is simple – it's just vacuum cleaner! However, people often spell a few different ways, so if you're unsure which is correct, just go with the most common spelling | eng | b97ed03a-77b1-41e5-830e-4eb35227352f | https://www.friendlyysmile.com/how-do-you-spell-vacuum-cleaner/ |
Why Does My Tiktok Say Processing?
Are you a TikTok user wondering why your video is stuck on "Processing"? Don't worry, you're not alone! Many TikTok users have experienced this frustrating issue. In this article, we'll explore the reasons why your TikTok may be stuck on "Processing" and provide you with some helpful tips to get your video up and running again. So, let's dive in and figure out why your TikTok is taking so long to process!
TikTok is a popular app that allows users to create and share short-form videos. While the app is generally user-friendly, you may have encountered the issue where your video is stuck on "Processing". This can be frustrating, especially if you're eager to share your content with the world. But fear not, there are a few reasons why this might be happening, and we're here to help you solve the problem. So, let's get started and find out why your TikTok is not processing!
If your TikTok video is stuck on "Processing," it means that the app is compressing and uploading your video. This process can take a few minutes to a few hours, depending on the size and length of your video, as well as the speed of your internet connection. However, if your video has been stuck on "Processing" for more than a few hours, there may be an issue with your internet connection or with TikTok's servers. Try closing and reopening the app, or deleting and re-uploading the video.
Why Does My TikTok Say Processing?
If you're an avid TikTok user, you may have encountered the "processing" message when uploading a video. This message appears after you've selected a video, added effects, and clicked on the "upload" button. Processing can take anywhere from a few seconds to several minutes, depending on the length and complexity of your video. In this article, we'll explore why TikTok says "processing" and what to do if you encounter any issues.
What Does Processing Mean on TikTok?
When you upload a video to TikTok, the app needs to compress and convert your video into a format that is compatible with its platform. This process is known as "processing". During processing, TikTok reduces the size of your video, adjusts the resolution, and compresses the file to make it easier to load and share. The app also adds the necessary metadata to your video, such as the title, description, and hashtags.
Why Does Processing Take So Long?
The length of processing time depends on several factors, including the length of your video, quality settings, and the complexity of the effects you've added. Videos with higher quality settings and more complex effects may take longer to process. Additionally, the speed and stability of your internet connection can also affect processing time.
To speed up processing time, consider reducing the length of your video or adjusting the quality settings. You can also try uploading videos during off-peak hours when internet traffic is lower.
What to Do If Processing Takes Too Long?
If you've been waiting for several minutes and your video is still processing, there may be an issue with the app. Try restarting the app and uploading your video again. If the issue persists, try clearing your cache or uninstalling and reinstalling the app. You can also try uploading your video on a different device or using a different internet connection.
Benefits of Processing on TikTok
Processing on TikTok is essential to ensure that your video is optimized for the platform. By compressing and converting your video, TikTok ensures that your video will load quickly and be accessible to all users, regardless of their device or internet connection. Processing also helps to reduce the amount of storage space required to store your video on the app's servers, allowing more videos to be uploaded and shared.
Processing vs. Uploading Directly
Some users may wonder why TikTok doesn't allow direct uploading of videos without processing. The answer is simple: processing ensures that all videos are optimized for the app's platform. Without processing, videos may take longer to load, may not be accessible to all users, and may take up more storage space on the app's servers.
Processing and Video Quality
While processing is necessary to ensure that your video is optimized for TikTok, it can also affect the quality of your video. During processing, TikTok compresses your video and adjusts the resolution to make it easier to load and share. This can result in a loss of quality, particularly if you've uploaded a high-quality video with complex effects. To minimize the loss of quality, consider uploading videos with a lower resolution or reducing the length of your video.
Conclusion
Processing on TikTok is an essential part of uploading videos to the app. It ensures that your video is optimized for the platform and accessible to all users. While processing can take some time, it's necessary to ensure that your video is of high quality and compatible with the app. If you encounter any issues with processing, try restarting the app or uploading your video at off-peak hours. With these tips, you'll be able to upload high-quality videos to TikTok with ease.
Frequently Asked Questions
Here are some common queries related to the TikTok app and its features.
What does it mean when my TikTok video is processing?
When you upload a video on TikTok, it goes through several stages before it is ready to be published. The first stage is uploading, where the video is transferred from your device to TikTok's servers. Once the video is uploaded, it goes into the processing stage, where TikTok checks the video for any technical issues such as sound quality, resolution, and duration.
This process takes some time, depending on the length and quality of the video. Once the processing is complete, your video will be ready to be published on your TikTok profile.
Why is my TikTok video taking so long to process?
The processing time of a TikTok video depends on several factors such as video quality, length, and file size. If your video is of high quality and longer duration, it will take more time to process than a low-quality, short video. Additionally, if TikTok's servers are experiencing high traffic, it may take longer for your video to process.
However, if your video is taking an unusually long time to process, it may be due to technical issues on TikTok's end. In such cases, you can try uploading the video again or contact TikTok's support team for assistance.
Can I still use TikTok while my video is processing?
Yes, you can continue to use TikTok while your video is processing. The processing happens in the background, and you can use other features of the app without any interruption. However, it is recommended that you keep the app open until the processing is complete to avoid any errors or interruptions in the upload process.
Once the processing is complete, you will receive a notification, and your video will be ready to be published on your TikTok profile.
What should I do if my TikTok video fails to process?
If your TikTok video fails to process, it may be due to technical issues or errors in the video file. In such cases, you can try the following steps:
1. Check your internet connection and try uploading the video again.
2. Ensure that the video file is in a compatible format and meets TikTok's guidelines for video quality, resolution, and duration.
3. Clear the cache and data of the TikTok app and try uploading the video again.
If none of these steps work, you can contact TikTok's support team for assistance.
How can I speed up the processing time of my TikTok video?
Unfortunately, there is no way to speed up the processing time of a TikTok video. The processing time depends on several factors such as video quality, length, and file size. However, you can try to optimize your video for faster processing by ensuring that it meets TikTok's guidelines for video quality, resolution, and duration.
Additionally, you can upload the video during off-peak hours when TikTok's servers are experiencing less traffic. This may help in reducing the processing time of your video.
In conclusion, the "processing" message on TikTok can be frustrating, especially when you're eager to share your content with the world. However, it's important to understand why this message appears and what you can do to minimize its impact.
Firstly, TikTok processing times can vary depending on the size and complexity of your video. By keeping your videos short and simple, you can reduce the time it takes for TikTok to process them.
Secondly, you can also try uploading your videos during off-peak hours when TikTok's servers are less busy. This can help speed up the processing time and ensure your video is ready to go when you want to share it.
Lastly, if you're still experiencing long processing times, you can reach out to TikTok's customer support team for assistance. They may be able to provide insights into why your videos are taking longer to process and offer tips on how to improve your content.
By following these tips, you can minimize the frustration of the "processing" message and get your TikTok content out to your followers in a timely manner. So, keep creating, keep sharing, and don't let the processing message slow you down! | eng | 1c230ff7-8375-45b8-b977-71e270cda4c5 | https://appsliner.com/why-does-my-tiktok-say-processing/ |

CFD trading strategies to follow the trend
bezen
market theory, Trading
March 29, 2023
To make money in CFD trading, you need to follow the trend. You can use several different CFD trading strategies to do this.
One strategy is known as trend trading. In this type of trading, you identify the current trend and trade in the direction of that trend. Another strategy is called breakout trading, which involves looking for breakouts in price and then taking trades accordingly. Whichever one you choose, it's essential to keep in mind you must always use stop losses to protect your investment.
There is no one-size-fits-all solution for trading that will work for everyone. However, specific strategies can help follow the trend in the market. Here is a further breakdown of CFD trading strategies that you may want to consider using:
The long call strategy
This strategy involves buying a call option when you believe that the underlying asset's price will go up. This technique has the advantage of making money even if the price rises just slightly. You must, however, be aware of the potential perils since a steep drop in price may result in financial devastation.
The short put strategy
This strategy involves selling a put option when you believe that the underlying asset's price will go down. The advantage of this trading strategy is that you can make a profit even if the price only falls slightly. One of the potential risks involved, is that you could lose money if the price rises sharply.
The long straddle strategy
This strategy involves buying both a call option and a put option with the same strike price and expiration date. It allows you to profit from price movements in either direction. There are some potential risks involved, as you could lose money if the price doesn't move as expected.
The short straddle strategy
This strategy involves selling both a call option and a put option with the same strike price and expiration date, allowing you to profit from price movements. You should keep in mind the potential risks involved, as you could lose money if the price doesn't move as expected.
The long call spread strategy
This technique includes buying a call option with a lower strike price and selling a call option with a higher price. This strategy allows you to profit from increasing the underlying asset price while limiting your risk if the price falls.
The short put spread strategy
This strategy involves selling a put option with a lower strike price and buying a put option with a higher price. This strategy allows you to profit from a decrease in the underlying asset price while limiting your risk if the price rises.
The long straddle spread strategy
This strategy includes buying a call option with a lower strike price and selling a put option with a higher price. This strategy allows you to profit from price movements in either direction while limiting your risk if the price doesn't move as expected.
The short straddle spread strategy
This strategy involves selling a call option with a lower strike price and buying a put option with a higher strike price. This strategy allows you to profit from price movements in either direction while limiting your risk if the price doesn't move as expected.
The covered call strategy
This strategy involves buying the underlying asset and selling a call option. This allows you to profit from an increase in the underlying asset price while also providing some downside protection if the price falls.
The covered put strategy
This strategy involves selling the underlying asset and buying a put option. This allows you to profit from a decrease in the underlying asset price while also providing some upside protection if the price rises.
The bottom line
These are just some examples of CFD trading strategies you may want to consider using. There is no one-size-fits-all approach to trading, so it's crucial to find a strategy that suits your individual needs and goals.
The trend is your friend in CFD trading. When you identify a strong trend, ride it as long as possible to maximize your profits. Using indicators can also help you stay on top of market trends, which is vital in order to be a successful trader. | eng | 331778af-a5ce-45cb-913c-1e85bf09d522 | http://andrewbezen.com/2023/03/29/cfd-trading-strategies-to-follow-the-trend/ |

The Hollywood Smile Makeover: From Ordinary To Extraordinary
The Hollywood Smile Makeover: From Ordinary To Extraordinary
Have you ever marveled at the flawless smiles of Hollywood celebrities and wondered how they achieve such dazzling teeth? The secret lies in the Hollywood Smile Makeover, a comprehensive dental treatment that transforms ordinary smiles into extraordinary ones. This cosmetic dentistry procedure combines various techniques and treatments to create a stunning, picture-perfect smile. This article will explore the components of a Hollywood smile makeover and how it can take your smile from average to red-carpet-worthy. Check here Hollywood smile price Abu Dhabi.
Teeth whitening:
A bright, white smile is a hallmark of the Hollywood look. Tooth whitening is often the first step in a smile makeover. Professional teeth whitening treatments a dentist performs can effectively remove stains and discoloration, revealing a dramatically brighter smile. Whether you opt for in-office or take-home whitening kits, this simple procedure can make a significant difference in the overall appearance of your teeth.
Dental veneers:
Dental veneers are ultra-thin shells made of porcelain or composite resin that are custom-crafted to fit over the front surface of your teeth. They can correct cosmetic imperfections, including discoloration, gaps, chips, and misshapen teeth. Veneers provide a natural-looking and durable solution, giving you a perfectly aligned and radiant smile.
Dental bonding:
Dental bonding is a cosmetic procedure that uses a tooth-colored composite resin material to repair minor flaws such as chips, cracks, and gaps. The resin is applied to the affected tooth, shaped, and then hardened using a special light. Dental bonding is a quick and cost-effective way to enhance the appearance of your teeth and create a more harmonious smile.
Orthodontic treatment:
Misaligned or crooked teeth can detract from an otherwise beautiful smile. In some cases, orthodontic treatment may be recommended as part of a Hollywood Smile Makeover. Traditional braces or clear aligners can straighten teeth and correct bite issues, resulting in a more balanced and aesthetically pleasing smile.
Gum contouring:
The shape and appearance of the gums can greatly impact the overall aesthetics of the smile. Gum contouring, or gum reshaping, involves removing excess gum tissue to create a more balanced gum line. This procedure can make teeth appear longer and more symmetrical and enhance the overall harmony of the smile.
Dental implants:
Dental implants are an excellent solution for individuals with missing teeth to complete the Hollywood Smile Makeover. Implants provide a permanent and natural-looking replacement for missing teeth, restoring the smile's appearance and functionality. They are surgically placed into the jawbone and topped with a dental crown, seamlessly blending in with the surrounding teeth. | eng | b0578160-3866-4186-bbba-e7f724134244 | https://www.sweetparadisechocolate.com/general/the-hollywood-smile-makeover-from-ordinary-to-extraordinary/ |

Today's Historical Moment from Our Flag ... recalls the end of Operation Desert Storm during the Gulf War (1990-91) ...
30 years ago this weekend on February 28th of 1991, the US forces ended Saddam Hussein's Iraqi military occupation of the country of Kuwait. The 100-hour (4 day) combat phase of Operation Desert Storm showed the US military might over Iraq - destroying more than 3,300 Iraqi tanks, 100s of aircraft, and capturing 80,000 Iraqi troops.
[ Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Colin Powell - the highest ranking military official = public domain image ]
For the close of this Black History Month, rather than go into the details of America's Gulf War victory in 1991, we're going to highlight the contributions of and insights into African-Americans military service during this time. About 104,000 black men and women were part of the awesome US force that overran the Iraqis occupying Kuwait and restored the country to its people. The African-American combatants, who normally are 12% of the US population, were an overwhelming 30% of the US troops in action during Operation Desert Storm. Why were the number of blacks fighting for Kuwait's freedom 2.5 times the norm? Some say this higher percentage of blacks showed the military's success in accepting and integrating all peoples (little prejudice), but others say it was due to the lack of regular jobs in America for blacks. Regardless, there was much pride displayed by African-Americans serving in the military back then, and it continues today.
Today's Inspirational Quote from Our Flag
"The armed forces have always provided opportunities for blacks, which blacks have found attractive and have gone after, and I see no reason to change that now." - General Colin Powell (1991)
"The military is the only major institution in America with something like a level playing field. It is the only place where a white will be bossed around by a black on a regular basis at the local level. There is probably a better racial climate in the military than on a college campus." -Professor Moskos at Northwestern University (1991)
Today's Fun from Our Flag ... is a corny Gulf War military joke ...
After 2 months of being on a US Navy cruiser sitting off the coast of Kuwait preparing for battle, Seaman Smith complained to Master Chief Jones, "My recruiter told me that if I joined the Navy I would see the world, and so far all I've seen is the coast of Kuwait." Master Chief Jones answered back, "Young sailor Smith the world is 75% water and the Navy will show you that soon enough. If you want to see the other 25% of the world, go join the Army." ;) :) ;)
And, now it's time to ... Recite the Pledge of Allegiance
Students across America, at school or at home, inspired by African-Americans' commitment to our military and defense of freedoms, please unite and recite the Pledge.
Thanks for participating in today's U.S. Flag tribute. This is Sean Sweeney, a fellow Flag Steward, signing-off: Go out and 'be a stud citizen' today | eng | 1321daba-beae-4ed5-9961-30a61d3f3e40 | https://www.flagsteward.org/210227s---bascc.html |
At once rigidly skeletal and imbued with rhythmic movement, the porcelain sculptures that comprise Shiyuan Xu's Growth series are intricate recreations of single-celled organisms, molecules, and other micro lifeforms. The Chinese artist hand-builds delicate ceramic works of three-dimensional webbing that swell and surges into amorphous shapes mimicking a range of living creatures. Stretching up to two feet, the enlarged, abstract sculptures incorporate both the universal nature of evolution and change, while directly tying to Xu's background. "My attempt of using the classical Chinese blue and white and celadon color palette in a contemporary way reflects my own narratives, life experience, and cultural heritage" she shares, explaining further:
The regular and irregular structures and layers of my piece blend in with the memory of my sensations and personal experience. The repetitive and labor-intensive process seems to be a therapy to ease my anxiety and sense of uncertainty while facing constant challenges in the intersections of two cultures.
To create each piece, Xu undertakes a laborious process that involves applying a heavy glaze and then using a knife to scratch the edges away. The removal leaves a line of raw clay coursing through the middle of each segment, and works like "Blue Vein #4" and "Hybrid #1" emphasize that central element with color. "After the piece is fired, I repeat the same process many times, to spray, scrape, and fire again, until the surface texture is accumulating to a very obvious degree," she tells Colossal, noting that she sometimes replicates these steps ten times—check out the artist's Instagram for a detailed look at her process.
Xu is currently an artist-in-residence at Chicago's Lillstreet Art Center, and if you're in London, you can see her work from May 10 to 15 with Ting-Ying Gallery at Design Center Chelsea Harbour | eng | 9141ad43-ee62-46d0-acf2-596da577701f | https://www.thisiscolossal.com/2022/03/shiyuan-xu-porcelain-sculptures/ |
#30. Magnetic Storms
The term "magnetic storm," meaning a world-wide magnetic disturbance, was
coined by Alexander von Humboldt (1769-1859). A naturalist who gained attention by exploring the jungles of Venezuela, Humboldt devoted much of his life to the promotion of science. He produced five volumes of "Kosmos" (startng the modern usage of that term), an encyclopaedic account covering
the broad spectrum of the sciences. It was "Kosmos" which brought to the world's attention the discovery of the sunspot cycle by Heinrich Schwabe.
After journeying through Siberia, Humboldt convinced the Czar to set up
a network of magnetic observatories across the Russian lands, and additional
stations were established throughout the British Empire, from Toronto to
Tasmania. This network clearly showed that magnetic storms were essentially
identical all over the world: a steep decrease of the field over 12-24 hours,
followed by a gradual recovery which lasted 1-4 days. The change in the
magnetic field was small, in modern units some 50-300 nT (nanotesla) out of a
total intensity of 30-60,000 nT, but its world-wide scale suggested that
something quite big was happening out in space.
The image below is from the magnetic storm of May 5, 1998, as observed by the Kakioka observatory in Japan. The top trace is the one characterizing the storm and the drop is close to 3 divisions or about 130 nT, occuring over about 3 hours. The same observatory can also also provide you with today's magnetic record.
The disturbing field pointed southward, suggesting that it came from a "ring current" circling the Earth, and we now know that such a current does exist, carried by the outer radiation belt. In magnetic storms the outer belt becomes much more intense, reinforced by protons coming from the tail, as well as by O+ ions from the ionosphere.
The neutral hydrogen atoms of the geocorona move quite slowly and have much less energy than ring current ions (if they had more, the Earth's gravity would not hold them!). A collision often ends up transferring an electron from the hydrogen atom to the ring-current ion, without much change in the particles' energies.
The hydrogen atom, having lost an electron, becomes an ion (proton), and
because of its low energy, contributes very little to the ring current. On the
other hand, the ring current ion which has gained an electron is now
neutralized, becoming a fast neutral atom with a great deal of energy. Since
the Earth's magnetic field can only trap charged particles, the fast atom
usually disappears quickly into distant space. In this way the "charge
exchange" process gradually removes newly added particles from the ring current.
Only the more energetic ones remain, since their probability of undergoing
charge exchange is much lower.
This process may have an unusual application, by letting us observe the ring
current from a distance, the way astronomers observe distant stars through their
telescopes. Astronomers use light, which moves in straight lines. Similarly,
if one could build a camera that uses energetic neutral atoms (ENA) created in the ring current by charge exchange, it might be able to picture the ring current, too, since ENAs also move along straight lines.
An "Image " mission using such a camera has in fact been approved by NASA. Technically this is a rather difficult feat
because the number of ENAs coming from the ring current, especially outside
magnetic storms, is rather small. A pilot experiment of this type ran for five
weeks aboard the Swedish satellite Astrid, launched in December 1994, and
produced some very simple ENA images.
Storms and Substorms
What creates a magnetic storm?
Substorms have now been studied for many years, from space and from the
ground. Their details vary from one event to the next, just as thunderstorms in the atmosphere never seem alike, but many scientists have nevertheless concluded that they are a fundamental mode of energy release and particle acceleration.
In contrast, it is not at all clear that magnetic storms are similarly
fundamental. Their main distinguishing feature is the injection of many
energetic ions and electrons from the tail, causing the ring current to grow
significantly. Yet substorms also inject such particles, as was shown in 1971 by the instruments aboard the synchronous ATS-1, an experimental communication satellite with a "piggyback" scientific payload. Many other satellites have studied substorm injections since then: it is just that the injected particles are fewer, their penetration less pronounced and their average energy lower.
Is then a magnetic storm merely a series of large and intense substorms? That was apparently the view of Sydney Chapman (1888-1970), distinguished researcher of magnetic storms, who introduced the term "substorm" to suggest precisely this idea. Chapman noted in 1963 that the same storms which at near-equator observatories, e.g. in Hawaii, followed simple curves of growth and decay, in Alaska seemed to consist of a number of distinct "sub-storms."
Although substorms also exist at other times (as S. Akasofu, Chapman's
student, discovered soon afterwards), there might be a difference. "Garden
variety" substorms do not need much of a stimulus: during times of southward interplanetary field, the tail seems to quickly reach the brink of instability, and small changes in the solar wind can then precipitate a substorm. Magnetic storms on the other hand seem to come from much more powerful sources, in general from the arrival of interplanetary shocks (though southward IMF is also a strong
factor).
M-regions and Coronal Holes
The connection between magnetic storms and sunspots was well established
around the turn of the century. When large active sunspots were visible, big
magnetic storms were much more likely. In today's terminology one might say
that the intense field of sunspots was likely to lead to sudden releases of
magnetic energy, manifested by flares and coronal mass ejections, and those in their turn sent out fast interplanetary plasma clouds whose shock fronts caused magnetic storms.
The relation between sunspots and smaller magnetic storms, however, seemed
less firm. In 1904 E.W. Maunder of the Royal Observatory in Greenwich, England, proposed that many such storms belonged to an entirely different class, tending to recur at intervals of 27 days, the Sun's rotation period. It was as if something on the rotating Sun was beaming those storms at us. However,
attempts to identify those regions on the Sun suggested that they were bland and featureless, containing no sunspots. Astronomers named them "M
regions" (M for magnetic storms), and for a long time no one had a clue about what set them apart.
Space observations finally pointed the way. In 1962 the space probe Mariner
2, on its way to Venus, noted that the solar wind contained recurrent fast
streams, whose sources appeared to rotate with the Sun. The arrival of such
streams was found to trigger moderate storms of the kind studied
by Maunder, but their cause was still unclear.
A decade later, in 1973, astronauts aboard the space station Skylab observed
the Sun in soft X-rays. Such pictures, like the one on the right which was taken by the Japanese satellite Yohkoh, highlight the hot spots of the corona:
Bright X-ray regions in the corona were often associated with sunspots,
which (it seemed) pumped extra energy into the regions above them. In contrast, the elusive "M-regions" turned out to be the dark areas
in-between, named "coronal holes." Apparently, the arches and loops of magnetic
field lines produced in sunspots trapped and held back solar plasma, hindering
it from flowing away as solar wind. In "coronal holes", on the other hand, the
magnetic field was weaker and its field lines stuck out straight into space,
making it easy for the solar wind to escape. Thus although such regions were
cooler than their neighbors, they made better sources of the solar wind. The polar caps of the Sun, away from the sunspot belts, form two very large "coronal holes", and the solar wind emanating from them was expected to be fast and steady, a prediction confirmed by Ulysses. The "holes" which produce fast solar wind streams at Earth are generally extensions of the polar ones. | eng | 7c389269-982c-4738-ad1e-e724e55e0888 | http://magbase.rssi.ru/REFMAN/EAMAGSPH/wmagstrm.html |
The comeback of electrical issues
Because i've followed the Haynes schematic, i realised there's an issue. There's two thick white wires coming in the fusebox, on the schematic, they are separated, in the original fusebox they were connected on the same circuit.
At that moment, i've decided to trust the schema, not knowing what were done on the car in the past.
Big mistake, seperating those wires forced all the power from the alternator to flow in the tiny wire inside my regulator bypass.
So i've fixed that by connecting the wires on my PCB and remade a new regulator bypass.
Also, i've realised that i had electric drain somewhere in the circuit, so i decided to strip all the wiring loom to check the connections and of course, the alternator was not connected correctly, the sensor pin was always ON instead of only when the ignition was ON. But by checking the wiring look i've realised that a lot of those cables were cooked and modified in the past, so i've replaced a lot of them. | eng | 860507a5-b030-431e-bb42-53b25c384ef8 | https://makz.me/mechanic/the-comeback-of-electrical-issues/ |

Marketing Mix: The Value of Getting It Right
It's 9 o'clock. Do you know where your customers are?
Over the past decade or more, there has been a broad movement by distributors to make operational improvements, including supply chain optimization, process standardization, lean methodologies and technology advancements such as ERP, CRM and ecommerce. In many cases distributors have reaped tangible efficiencies that have manifested at the bottom line.
While there is still more benefit to be realized from operational improvements, for most companies that benefit will be incremental rather than a quantum leap.
At Distribution Strategy Group (DSG), we know that the next major frontier for distributors is to develop more significant marketing capabilities that empower the company to respond to market opportunities. Based on what we have seen, the companies that act on this marketing imperative will outperform the market even and perhaps especially in a down market cycle.
Here's the state of marketing in distribution:
Most distributors, whether they do mainly MRO or OEM business, have solid outside sales and inbound telephone sales. However, capabilities for in-store marketing, outbound telephone sales and ecommerce vary widely.
Smaller distributors have less capability and are usually limited by outside sales reps and handling inbound sales calls.
In contrast, many larger distributors, typically with more than $500 million in revenues, have grown by building multichannel capabilities and by regularly measuring their effectiveness to continually improve.
The imperative for distributors of all sizes is to further develop and to continually evolve multichannel distribution capabilities and strategies. In less competitive markets, the ability to urgently respond to the market opportunities through appropriate channels can mean the difference between barely surviving and thriving with steady profits.
In highly competitive markets such as electronics, the ability to leverage sales and marketing channels effectively will mean the difference between sustaining business and not surviving at all. Market leaders apply more resources to multichannel capabilities and related marketing activities, and they clearly demonstrate the resulting improvements in measurable terms of more and better business.
At Distribution Strategy Group, we specialize in helping distribution companies develop internal strategic marketing capabilities that enable them to become more competitive and to meet and exceed their growth objectives by knowing where to apply resources. The rest of this article covers some basic ideas that can be used to prioritize where to spend time in your business.
What is a Marketing Mix? (And How Do You Get It Right?)
Since the early 1960s, most companies have organized marketing activities into the "Marketing Mix," or the "4 Ps": Product, Place, Price and Promotion. When we work with distributors we try to look at the "question behind the question" by using customer analytics to understand more about what types of customers are purchasing from a distributor and which types of products and services are being consumed.
This typically includes some primary research with customers such as interviews or surveys, but will also include quantitative analysis of actual transactions with end customers. A straightforward way to begin to understand how the marketing mix applies to a distributor's business is to dig into each P:
Product/Service
Distribution companies differ greatly from manufacturers or single-product companies in that they generally offer a wide selection of products. The product assortment is the main foundation of a distributor's value proposition, although most distributors know that they must offer more than just a catalog of products to grow a successful business.
More recently, distributors have realized that customers are looking for additional services from distributors for more complete solutions. Understanding the products and services offered by the distributor is the first step toward getting the marketing mix right. Some of the important things to consider include:
What types of products and services are customers purchasing from the distributor? This includes product categories, original manufacturers and supplier brands, and products or services that are a customer's primary purchase vs. which products are add-ons and accessories. This can have a dramatic impact on how we generate leads and how we think of new customer business compared with repeat customer business.
What does the customer want from the products/services? What needs does it satisfy? Are there specifications for the products or are the needs more general? This may be critical when considering products aimed at manufacturers for OEM situations as opposed to products targeting end-users and service providers for repairs and maintenance (MRO) needs.
How well is the distributor meeting customer needs? Are there any product features missing or that require additional products and services? For example, do certain products require tools or accessories such as soldering irons and solder? Or is there an assembly or kitting task that someone is required to perform that may be an opportunity for the distributor? Is there a range of premium vs. generic functionality that could affect cost?
How does packaging affect the product a customer wants to purchase? Are we requiring quantities or bundles that the customer will not actually use?
How are products and services differentiated from your competitors? Is it the supplier's brand that matters to the customer, is it the function— or is it the complete solution? Is the differentiation at the product level or is it more about the way we do business, such as through onsite vending machines or managed inventory solutions?
At Distribution Strategy Group, we provide several services to analyze customer accounts and transactions to create detailed customer profiles. In particular, Customer Demand Estimation uses a statistical analysis of sales by segment, by account and for specific product categories to estimate the size of the addressable market and determine where there is additional opportunity to increase business within the distributor's market.
Additionally, the demand analysis can be used to understand how much additional market potential a distributor has for the types of products they sell. By analyzing actual sales transactions and asking customers how they want to purchase and use products or services, we identify the best customer types and the best opportunities for the products offered by the distributor. In addition, we often identify opportunities for improving cost-to-serve efficiencies and foster customer loyalty.
Place
In traditional environments, a significant part of the marketing effort is dedicated to the question: Where do buyers look for your product or service? As distributors, you are the place where suppliers and end customers meet. However, for distributors, the marketing imperative addresses the critical importance of omnichannel marketing considerations such as:
If they look in a store, what kind? A specialist boutique or a branch warehouse? Or online? Or direct, via a catalog?
How can you provide access to the right distribution channels for the customer? Do you have the technology in place to meet the customer where they want to encounter you? In recent months as social distancing has become the norm, many distributors have been hurt because they failed to prepare for the sudden shift to online business and digital communication channels. While we always hope that change is gradual, the reality is that business often needs to be prepared to respond to cataclysmic shifts.
Do you need to use a sales force? Or do customers contact us directly? What is the primary role of field sales: to hunt for new customers, or to manage the existing customer relationship over time?
How will you use telesales? Are they inbound order-takers or do the proactively reach out to prospects and customers on a regular basis?
Do customers mainly submit orders online, by fax, email, phone or ecommerce? For distributors, the point-of-sale contact is also a critical place for driving potential upsell and cross-selling activities. So, understanding how communications with customers and prospects occurs and how these contacts result in orders is central to understanding how the distributor grows business.
Do customers attend trade fairs or events? Are these physical events or online events? Where do you go to meet potential new customers? While we have seen dramatic changes over the past decade or more due to digital marketing, this doesn't mean that traditional contact approaches have disappeared completely.
How important is self-service and fulfillment controlled by customers in your market? In recent years, many distributors have seen significant business opportunities develop from providing on-site vending and inventory solutions, especially for quick needs such as safety products and other job-site situations.
What do your competitors do, and how can you learn from that and/or differentiate?
One way to view the distributor's role is as "The Place" in the overall market, mediating between original suppliers and end purchasers. As new technologies appear and new business models evolve, the distributor is always in the most opportune situation to invent new ways of engaging customers where they want to be met.
Over the next several years, we will no doubt see new capabilities and opportunities such as with online marketplaces and with more intelligent ways of interacting using AI chatbots, voice and video technologies that enable searching catalogs and providing better product information to empower customers during the increasingly complex shopping and buying process.
Price
While product selection, assortment and availability are generally considered the basic function of a distributor, most distribution companies inevitably get dragged into pricing and cost-related discussions as a central theme. As a result, pricing strategies and tactics are an important aspect of how the distributor competes or excels over competitors. Years of marketing experience and knowledge based on analysis provide ways to address fundamental cost and value questions such as the following:
What are the most important considerations for the cost of a product or service that enables a distributor to make sufficient profits and compete with alternatives?
What is the value of the product or service to the buyer? For example, what are the total costs incurred by the customer, and is the price of a product SKU just a component of the overall solution?
What happens if the solution doesn't meet the customer's expectations? Are there opportunity costs for the end customer if the product is not the best match for the customer? Is there a way to increase prices to compensate for the value of guaranteeing success or eliminating risk through customer support, warranties and other aspects of delivering solutions?
Are there established price points for products or services? How are they affected by delivery time or other things that customers expect or require?
How price sensitive is the customer? Will a small decrease in price get you extra market share? Or will a small increase be indiscernible, and gain you extra profit margin?
What discounts should be offered to trade customers, or to other specific segments of your market? Are there trade practices such as consolidating and combining orders, in-store pickup that can lower costs to deliver lower prices where both end customer and distributor benefit?
Lastly, how does your price compare with your competitors? Is this because your competitor has an actual cost advantage, or because the competitor is willing to give up potential profit?
At Distribution Strategy Group, we specialize in using analytics to understand the actual costs of providing products and services to end customers compared with what customers actually value to ensure that the distributor is fairly compensated.
Some analytics are used to understand the market demand for products and solutions while others are used to determine where is the cross-over point between leaving money on the table or losing money. Pricing is sometimes strategic, but for distributors it is more often a tactic for optimizing net revenues from particular customers or during specific transactions.
Promotion
Historically distributors have established their businesses by growing catalogs and line cards of related products from common suppliers. Early promotion of the distributor and key products took advantage of common print media and traditional advertising approaches.
Do you remember the "Yellow Pages"? Do you remember when a catalog was mailed or dropped off at your office? Did you drive by billboards and notice the new pictures? Did you hear ads on the radio for the local store when you were driving to or from a workplace or jobsite? What about periodic flyers or postcards advertising a sale or limited-time offer on some tools or other products?
As the world has become more digital, most of the traditional ways have been replaced by websites, email newsletters and other less personal contacts. For distributors today, the need for promotion is more important than just where and when can you get your marketing messages across to your target market:
Will you reach your audience by advertising online, in the press, on TV, on radio, or on billboards? By using direct marketing mailshots? Through PR? On the internet?
When is the best time to promote? Is there seasonality in the market? Are there any wider environmental issues that suggest or dictate the timing of your market launch or subsequent promotions?
How do your competitors do their promotions? And how does that influence your choice of promotional activity?
We specialize in helping distributors build capabilities in digital marketing and ebusiness, from SEO (search marketing) to email marketing and web promotions. We are experienced in leveraging traditional marketing campaigns with print materials and direct marketing campaigns.
A key aspect of marketing promotion is understanding how to test and measure the effectiveness of any marketing campaign. Every aspect of the distributor's business can be measured and analyzed to quantify the financial impact to the business.
Your Marketing Mix is a well-defined lens for viewing your business and an effective way of evaluating the business to complement operational efficiency improvements. While operations measurements can identify cost reductions, the Marketing Mix highlights the far more important aspects of revenue growth, customer retention and loyalty benefits, and increasing profits.
In subsequent discussions, we will dig deeper into the marketing mix and explore how each marketing activity grows the business and increases net profits. As always, we welcome your feedback. Please feel free to post a comment below or you can email me at rkelley@distributionstrategy.com.

Abstract
In four of Charles Darwin's classic works (Darwin, 1859, 1868, 1871, 1872), the domestic dog (Canis familiaris or Canis lupus familiaris)1 featured prominently, offering key examples to illustrate his ideas about evolution, domestication, comparative behavior and cognition, and emotional expression. Darwin held a clear fondness for dogs, and when replying to letters detailing the "sagacity" of dogs, he remarked "I can believe almost anything about them" (Darwin, 2014). Despite the early interest in their behavior and cognition by a number of leading scientists, dogs were rarely subject to serious investigation as a study species for 150 years. In 2000, the number of studies on dog behavior and cognition began increasing rapidly, as more behavioral researchers worldwide began to work with them (Aria et al., 2021; Bensky et al., 2013). This research covers both the social and nonsocial domains of behavior and cognition (Bensky et al., 2013; Miklósi, 2015). In the social domain, researchers study how dogs interact with social agents (both conspecifics and heterospecifics) in areas such as play, social relationships, perspective taking, cooperation, communication, and social learning. In the nonsocial domain, researchers study how dogs interact with their physical environment by investigating perception, learning, memory, categorization, physical reasoning, numerical cognition, and spatial cognition. Combined, this work has highlighted dogs as an ideal study system for understanding the evolution of behavior and cognition, domestication and co-evolution, applied animal science, and even human health (ManyDogs Project et al., 2023).
Many species exhibit fascinating aspects of behavior and cognition. But what sets dogs apart is their relationship with humans. No other species has been invited into our homes, farms, schools, hospitals, libraries, and airports to the degree that dogs have. They have an exaggerated presence in the media we consume, from beloved cartoon characters such as Peanut's Snoopy to a pudgy little pug setting the morning mood for millions of people on social media (Graziano, 2022). Further, many people identify as "pet parents" and treat their dogs as they would their children (Volsche, 2021). Mirroring the dog cognition trends, we have recently witnessed a sharp increase in studies of canine-human interaction, exploring the motivational, emotional, cognitive, physiological, and neural mechanisms of dogs on human psychology and well-being. Despite increase in both dog cognition and canine-human interaction, there is not as much cross talk between these fields as one might hope for. Here, we bring these research fields together to take seriously the questions of why dogs play such an important role in our hearts and minds and why the canine-human bond is so strong. | eng | 42f42daf-0278-49cd-b2d1-22209e3cb01b | https://digitalcommons.unl.edu/psychfacpub/1146/ |

Now
that you and your co-workers may be saying goodbye to video conferences and
heading back to the office, it's time to consider the steps you need to take to
be a flu fighter and protect yourself from the flu and other viruses.
Unfortunately, an NSF survey shows that at least one quarter (26%) of American employees admit to going to work when they are sick. This makes it even more important to do whatever you can not to go to work while feeling under the weather and to avoid getting sick at work.
"By staying vigilant and using these best practices both at home and at work, you'll be able to help keep yourself, your family and your colleagues healthy and safe," said Matt Taylor, Senior Manager of Consulting at NSF.
NSF offers these five tips to get you ready for this year's cold and flu season and to help you continue protecting yourself from COVID:
1
Wash Up
Wash your hands frequently. Use water and soap and scrub for 20 seconds. Rinse thoroughly and dry hands completely. Soap and water are more effective than hand sanitizers at removing germs like norovirus, Cryptosporidium, and coronavirus. Sing "Happy Birthday" twice, and those 20 seconds will pass quickly! Signs placed above handwashing stations in restrooms are a great way to remind everyone to wash their hands thoroughly.
2
Keep Sanitizing
Hand sanitizers are a good alternative if you're in a place where there is no sink available. They work more effectively to reduce the number of microbes on your hands, but only when your hands are not physically dirty. Remember, though — hand sanitizing is not a substitute for proper handwashing.
3
Get a Flu Vaccine
Getting a flu vaccine is more important than ever to protect yourself and the people around you, according to the U.S. and European Centers for Disease Prevention and Control.
4
Clean Your Workspace
Pack a can of disinfectant or sanitizer wipes into your backpack to use at work. Clean your workspace, as many employers are using shared areas. Disinfect high-touch surfaces, such as phones, doorknobs, appliance handles and cupboard doors. Consider not eating at your desk, but if you do, remember to clean it before getting your lunch or snack out!
5
Stay Home if You're Sick
If there is any chance you feel sick, the best thing you can do for yourself and your co-workers is to stay home. | eng | f0188588-4709-44ad-a6a8-0733e7b77475 | https://www.nsf.org/blog/consumer/become-flu-fighter |

[Suggestion] Wood Chips: Ground-up Logs
I recently had a tree taken out in my yard, and the wood chipper got me thinking. What would happen if I macerated a log? Turns out, nothing. A macerator can handle stone, so I'm sure it could handle wood. So I simply suppose nobody's thought what to do with chopped up wood.
I'm sure more uses will eventually be found, but I've thought of one. Throw a log into a macerator, and you get a certain number of woodchips. Woodchips used to make plantballs will produce 4 plantballs per log's worth of chips, similar to how plantballs made from saplings make extra. (In my other thread, linked here, I detail how a plantball is worth 1/4 the energy of a charcoal, and thus a log.) If these plantballs are used as is, this exchanges 1 use of a furnace to make charcoal for 1 use of a macerator to make wood chips - roughly equivalent. But if these plantballs are further processed into biofuel, the energy yield is increased over charcoal, at the cost of the bio-fuel process.
Without this suggestion, there is no way to macerate wood or use it to make biofuel, though realistically it would make sense to be able to do both. Additionally, further uses for wood chips may be realized.
Side note: It is currently possible to generate three times more energy from wood via scaffolding than via charcoal. I recommend that the fuel value of scaffolding be changed to 250, the value for a stick, from 750, the value for other wooden items.
I like that idea! (Don't know about others, but I can already think of how I would power my base [Forestry tree farm anyone!]) If I am not mistaken, I believe putting a log (or planks?) in a thermal expansion pulverizer gives wood pulp, which in turn can be turned into paper. Maybe we could incorporate that type of recipe as well? Use the forge dictionary thing and make another type of wood pulp, but give the ic2 wood pulp the traits of above. Then we can choose how we want to use our precious mushed organic material.
Yes, I would suggest that reprocessing the wood chips into the extractor would lead to wood pulp, then compressing it would make paper. I never liked paper from sugar cane. Papyrus is not paper.
Another use could lead into making fertilizer, or at least "bonemeal" (It should really be fertilizer, made by reprocessing wood chips into the macerator to get sawdust (yay, another dust), then adding sawdust, water cell (or bucket, for what matters), and dirt, mud or scrap into the workbench would give some fertilizer. It should output more with scrap and less with dirt, mud being in the middle. For mud I mean a mud block, not mud balls.
Yet another one would be a recipe to enable the conversion of one type of wood into another one. If you have a biomes o'plenty wood plank, you can't make a Bibliocraft item, for example. Only vanilla wood planks are accepted by some recipes. So, you put six wood chips into the workbench and you may have one "standard" wood plank (I can't think of anything more standard then oak wood plank). Some waste, but it can be useful sometimes.
This has been suggested already (long time ago though ^^). I'd like a way to get more energy using woodpulp than simply Charcoal though.
Paper from woodpulp has been suggested already as well, but would still be nice.
If you want to get rid off the "Scaffold bug", just use GT, which nerfed the scaffold recipies so it gives only 4 scaffolds (which is annoying for guys like me, using it just for building, but at least it avoid the exploit ^^)
That's just a bug in bibliocraft. I see no reason to make workarounds for it.
I think it's not really a bug, since bibliocraft items are coloured according to the type of wood that they were made from. I think the modder just didn't coded items for non vanilla woods. Of course, anyone could simply ask him if he could do this, but this is not the point. It would function as a general workaround for any kind of situation like that. Or just something you may do if you are in the middle of a birch tree forest and hate birch wood, so you may convert it to oak wood paying for it. i don't know. Just something that came to my mind. Probably not as good as it sounded in the first time, though. Well... nevermind...
Compressing wax + wood pulp = artificial log, used as a clean-looking building block + much more efficient than charcoal when used in a fire-burning furnace (not usable in Generator).
Where does the wax come from? Cross-mod stuff, or am I just stupid was completely aware of the Forestry bees stuff; I was just unsure whether it was that or something else | eng | 36cf3006-f957-4f3d-8fed-3272cb66f6b1 | https://forum.industrial-craft.net/thread/9563-suggestion-wood-chips-ground-up-logs/?postID=130155 |

What if the default styles and standard settings aren't enough? No worries! In the following sections, we will look at styling your popup to make it look and feel more like the one real visitors will interact with.
Custom styles (themes)
A theme is simply a set of custom styles that give the popup its look and feel. Separate from your layout, BEE Popup Builder comes with some preset themes. The primary is our default theme that is loaded when no settings are specified. We also provide an empty theme that has no styles, which you can use a blank canvas to create your own theme. This is one of the most powerful features of Popup Builder, and we'll be covering custom styles in depth below.
Here is a preview of the configuration:
workspace: {
popup: {
customStyles: {
...
},
}
}
Applying styles to the HTML
To understand the best way to apply your styles, let's start by inspecting the underlying HTML structure so you can view where BEE will map your styles.
Add styles to the JSON section that corresponds to the HTML element you want to style.
For example, if you want to apply styles to the div with id popup-container, then you would add the styles to the following JSON:
customStyles: {
container: {
...styles,
},
},
We'll go deeper into styling in the following sections.
Order of operations
You may be wondering at this point if you have to design an entire theme to get started. Well, you can if you want to, but thanks to the order of operations, you don't have to. You can start with our default theme and pass in the styles that you want to override. Any style you provide will take priority over any of the defaults.
Starting from scratch
We said that you could start from scratch if you want, and the easiest way to do that is by using our theme parameter. This allows you to avoid overriding every default style and gives you an empty canvas to build your own theme.
Example:
beeConfig: {
workspace: {
popup: {
theme: 'custom'
}
}
}
Applying custom styles
Now that you have seen what the HTML looks like and have some idea where to apply your styles, let's look at how you get your styles into the editor. The best way to show you is by example, so let's get started with some common use cases!
Adding a border
Using the schema JSON above and your HTML structure knowledge, you probably guessed that the border is defined on the popup container. So here's what that would look like:
Adding a drop shadow
Deep-dive into CSS properties
After looking at a couple of samples, you may notice these parameters are looking familiar. That's because every layer of our schema maps to a layer of HTML with the same name AND can be styled with any valid CSS property.
Basically, CSS properties are the same as CSS used by web developers in style sheets, but instead of dashes to separate words, it uses a camel case.
Example:
The CSS property of the style box-shadow would be boxShadow.
Why not use CSS styles as defined by CSS3 specification directly? Well, simply put, CSS properties are better suited for JSON and can easily be shared with any FE application using the popular React framework.
Custom layouts
We covered the default layout settings in Setting layout and size section. To recap, the layout determines the type of popup (e.g., a bar) and its location on the screen (e.g., bottom, top, or side). Our research team looked into it, and it turns out, nearly all popups fall into one of the most popular layouts, which we've included as presets. But, when that's not enough, the configuration option customLayout can be used to make minor adjustments to a preset layout or create an entirely new layout from scratch.
Here is a preview of the configuration:
workspace: {
popup: {
customLayout: {
...
},
}
}
The layout HTML
The popup is positioned in the workspace using divs and CSS flexbox. We created a layout structure that mimics an HTML page to map your page's styles to the workspace. | eng | 2d0e1970-fec8-49e5-8f3c-4c58291a9164 | https://docs.beefree.io/advanced-settings-popup-builder/ |

Taxonomy
The Alpine musk deer belongs to the family Moschidae. This family is part of a clade that includes Bovidae, and Cervidae, which is a sister group to Giraffidae, who are all clustered together with Ruminatia under the order Artiodactyla.[5] Recent studies have shown a relation between Artiodactyls and Cetaceans, combining them into the order Certiodactyla.[6]
Characteristics
The Alpine musk deer is a small deer (40–60cm tall) with long upper canines that do not hide within the mouth. It is named for having an externally visible musk sac between male testes. Its fangs grow during mating season and are used for sparring with other males.[7] Alpine musk deer have a larger body size compared to other musk deer.[8]
Behavior and ecology
The Alpine musk deer is a ruminant herbivore, foremost a browser and feeds mainly on forbs, grasses, moss, lichens, and shoots, leaves and twigs of shrubs.[12]
Males compete for resources and social rank. Those with the highest rank have primary access to resources such as food, shelter, territory and reproductive rights. Both captive and wild musk deer compete for resources, exhibited in aggressive interactions, during which they butt each other's heads and spray musk as a show of strength and territory marking. Establishing a hierarchy among herd animals often results in physical injury or death for the individuals involved. Captive musk deer show lower intensity of aggression. This involves threatening, displacing and ritual displays. In cases of higher intensity of aggression, a resolution to the conflict is only reached when one deer shows ritual submission, dies or runs away as a form of displacement by the victor.[7]
The mating season of Alpine musk deer is late November and the birth season is from June to July. Since they are solitary animals, observing them in captivity is difficult.[7]
Threats
The main threat to the Alpine musk deer is poaching for its musk, which is used in cosmetic products.[1] Poaching and continued demand for musk is the main threat in Nepal and Uttarakhand.[9][13] Musk is also used in Asian medicine. Due to illegal hunting and habitat loss, the Alpine musk deer has become an endangered species in China.[7] Habitat destruction lead to reduction of hiding places and increased predation access to the musk deer.[6] Due to human interference the habitat of the Alpine musk deer has been fragmented and isolated.[8] Japan has always been the largest importer of musk.[14]
Musk is used in different pharmaceutical products. Even though a synthetic musk has been developed, it hasn't completely replaced the use of natural musk, and the demand is increasing even outside of Asia.[citation needed] The Alpine musk deer has been hunted for centuries, but the introduction of guns in the last century lead to increased hunting. The use of snare traps takes a toll on the species, although it is not a target species. Since the demand for musk has increased internationally the supply from musk deer farms has been exceeded, putting even more pressure on the wild population.[citation needed]
Conservation
In 1958, musk deer farms were started in China. By the early 1980s, these farms kept about 3,000 musk deer. Since many of these farms were not successful, only a few breeding centers keep and raise Alpine musk deer since the 1990s.[14] There is however little evidence whether and to which extent these farms contributed to the conservation of the species.[15][16]
In captivity
Since the Alpine musk deer is a solitary, and shy species, it is difficult to breed in captivity.[14] Reports from Chinese musk deer farms show a high mortality rate for captive deer from the wild. Average lifespan in captivity is less than 4 years, opposed to 7–8 years in the wild. Behavioral studies of captive and wild deer have shown a low rate of domestication in captive deer and high success of releasing deer back into the wild who were born in captivity.[17]

Moschidae is a family of pecoran even-toed ungulates, containing the musk deer (Moschus) and its extinct relatives. They are characterized by long 'saber teeth' instead of horns, antlers or ossicones, modest size and a lack of facial glands. The fossil record of the family extends back to the late Oligocene, around 28 million years ago. The group was abundant across Eurasia and North America during the Miocene, but afterwards declined to only the extant genus Moschus by the early Pleistocene.

It is distinguished by its genetic markers, with mitochondrial DNA indicating that it is genetically basal to the Holarctic gray wolf, genetically the same wolf as the Tibetan and Mongolian wolf, and has an association with the African wolf.

What Are The Markings On An Air Hockey Table?
A player has seven seconds to execute a shot, which crosses the centerline. The seven seconds begins as soon as the puck enters and remains on that player's side of the centerline. The player scored upon receives possession of the puck for the next serve.
The appeal goes to the Head Referees in an Official Air-Hockey Competition. The Head Referees may overturn the original referee's decision only if the matter is an incorrect understanding of the rules. After the correct rule is understood, thigh knife holder the original referee's interpretation of the evidence according to the rules is final. The appeal in this situation must be made immediately after the occurrence or after the end of the game in which the disagreement took place.
The time-out can't be longer than 10 seconds. A player may exercise their time-out only when the puck is in their possession or not in play. After each game, players swap sides of the air hockey table. You first flip a coin before the match and the winner chooses their side of the table.
Each character has three unique abilities and a regular attack to hit the ball when everything else is on cooldown. There are long-range projectiles, close-quarter smashes, dash attacks, self-buffs, and other niche abilities like healing or obstacle creation. Before the game begins, the referee has to decide which players goes first. Similar to other sports, a coin is tossed and whichever player wins the toss, gets the chance to serve first.
Many of the alternatives cannot support a full-speed competitive air hockey game. That being said, if you are going to be competing in an air hockey tournament, then we recommend referring to the rules of the body that's governing that specific competition. They shouldn't be too far off, but will have some more nuances on things like referee rules and player conduct that wouldn't apply outside of a tournament setting. The first player to gain seven goals is the winner.
If the puck touches any other surface, it is deemed out of bounds, and possession of the puck is handed over to the opposite player. In other words, if Player A strikes the puck and it flies across the top of the rails or hits any other surface, then the game is paused and the puck is handed over to Player B. Two types of balls are available—a regular ball and a hockey puck.
Figure out who will get the puck to start the game by flipping a coin. 5) Practice hitting, lifting, and dropping the puck with minimal movements so you're ready for fast-paced action when needed. Memorize where your flippers are for maximum ease of play. | eng | cb16fb52-47c7-4e42-bf6c-fbf115096a3a | https://sourceacademy.co/what-are-the-markings-on-an-air-hockey-table/ |

Abstract
Subsidence, both natural and human-induced, frequently results in loss and damage to property and has the potential to cause injuries to people. Subsidence resulting from mining has caused widespread damage in many parts of the United States. In the Greater Kansas City metropolitan area, in the Midwestern United States, century-old mining of Pennsylvanian age limestone, by room-and-pillar method, has left behind numerous mine openings of various sizes, many of which progressively deteriorate resulting in subsidence.
During the second half of the present century many of the abandoned mines in Greater Kansas City were converted for secondary use that includes office space, warehouse, retail business and light manufacturing. Roof bolting and pillar reinforcement are standard measures employed to ensure long-term stability of these converted mines. However, many old mines lying in a state of abandonment for several decades fail periodically. Many incidences of subsidence, occurring over a 25-year period, have been recorded in the area. Some of the recent cases of subsidence are discussed in the paper. A discussion of the hazard associated with subsidence in an urban area, with suggestions for mitigation of the hazard, is presented. A brief review of the geology of the area along with important geotechnical properties of pertinent rock units is also included. | eng | 54816ba4-1e8b-4b28-b3d2-abf79cef63fa | https://pubs.geoscienceworld.org/aeg/eeg/article-abstract/II/4/497/136932/Subsidence-Hazard-From-Limestone-Mining-in-an?redirectedFrom=fulltext |

An inherited home is never easy to deal with, which is why we make the process a lot easier. You may be wondering, "will you sell my house for more profits".
That's a very good question to ask yourself.
The answer is yes; we buy homes as a living. We buy them, fix them up and sell them for a profit. Obviously, you could wait several months and try to sell it for a little bit more money. However, if you want to sell your home quickly without any hassles and get cash money for it, we're the best solution.
Do I have to wait for probate before selling my inherited house?
Probate is simply a proof that says that you can legally sell a house that isn't technically owned by you. You do need to wait for probate before selling your inherited house. However, as cash investors, we can definitely get a head start and see whether or not the house is of interest to us before you receive probate. If you have an inherited house, but you haven't yet received probate, you can still contact us for more details.
Are cash buyers different from traditional buyers?
We buy homes and pay in cash. That makes us cash investors because our ultimate goal is to flip the house for a profit. However, if doesn't change much when selling your house. The only area that may be a little different is the time that you need to wait before getting your money. You won't have to wait nearly as long when selling your house to us as compared to selling your house to someone who needs a mortgage loan.
Since we buy your house in cash, we don't have to wait around for the mortgage approval. We don't have to go through a third-party (a bank) and we can buy the house much faster without all of the additional steps that most home buyers require. Selling your house to us will prove to be much faster than with most home buyers.

How Much Does It Cost to Build a Green Home?
1 March 2022
By daniele
A greenhouse is a building house for the greens; the plants stay inside an interior to grow in a protective shield. It is a way to help the plants survive any weather, heat, sun, and temperature. It allows only the required amount of light warmth to the plants that are enough for them. Your greenhouse's type, size, material, and cost depend upon your investment, needs, and budget. The style of conservatory varies as, A-frame cost (up to $35), Barn and Dome-shaped ($25). The material covering the greenhouse could be corrugated fiberglass (1.0$-2.0$ square foot, Polycarbonate ($1.50 to $3.00). Frames could be steel ($2-$3), aluminum, and wood ($ 1-2). It can be a tiny shade or hoop and a big massive setup.
However, it all started as simple as buying a ticket to fly to a destination. Your small investment devotion to the plants can make everything worthwhile for the green. They come in different sizes and shapes, so it is not easy to estimate the optimum cost. Yet the average range is almost 1000$ to 10,000$ or more. The cost increases with hiring a professional to install a predesigned greenhouse will come up with all the alternatives to the mess that may await you. Such as air, water leaks, ventilation, and so on. So take a moment to watch your budget before you decide. There are multiple ways to keep the costs down, though. Start by planning and doing lots of research on pros and cons. In addition, get started. The bigger the greenhouse, the more plants it would hold ad the more dollars it would take.
Pest deterrents preparation before the real drain of the greenhouse. Such as Sticky traps, Insect barriers/nets, Neem oil
Lastly, the maintenance plane of the greenhouse is vital, ensuring the continuous check and balance of tools, functions, and cleaning | eng | 58271686-29f6-48e5-acfa-b67986d16b19 | https://syrus.info/how-much-does-it-cost-to-build-a-green-home-16.html |

It allows for individualized experiences and can spark conversations and discussions.
6. Reduced Production Complexity
Creating silent videos can be simpler and more cost-effective compared to producing videos with audio elements. Without the need for audio recording, editing, or sound design, the production process can be streamlined, allowing for quicker turnaround times and lower production costs.
7. Social Media Compatibility
Silent videos are particularly well-suited for social media platforms where users often scroll through content with muted audio. By relying on visual storytelling, silent videos can capture attention and deliver a message effectively even in a sound-off environment.
How do I Make a Silent Video Accessible?
Making a silent video accessible for video marketing involves ensuring that your content is engaging, inclusive, and effectively communicates your message without relying on audio. Here are some key considerations to make your silent video accessible for video marketing:
1. Visual Clarity
Since sound is absent, prioritize visual clarity to convey your message effectively. Use high-quality visuals, clear typography, and contrasting colors to enhance readability. Avoid clutter and distractions that could divert attention from the main message.
2. Captivating Visuals
It's crucial to grab and hold your audience's attention within the first 3 seconds. This is essential regardless of whether the viewer is watching with or without sound. Include a powerful visual at the beginning of your video that immediately captures their interest.
3. Use great imagery
Video is a dynamic medium that heavily relies on eye-catching imagery. With limited time to capture viewers' attention, create high-quality videos that can engage even on smaller screens like smartphones. Pay attention to color choices as they play a significant role in visuals. Consider aligning your video's color palette with your brand colors to establish a visual connection. If your audience already associates certain emotions with your brand, incorporating your logo colors, for instance, can help evoke those feelings within the video.
4. On-Screen Text
Incorporate on-screen text or subtitles to provide context and reinforce the message. Ensure that the text is legible, properly timed, and synchronized with the visuals. Consider using concise and easy-to-read fonts for optimal accessibility.
5. Visual Cues
Emphasize visual cues to guide viewers through the video. Use visual elements such as arrows, highlights, or animations to draw attention to important details or actions. This helps in maintaining engagement and clarifying any complex concepts.
6. Clear Storytelling
Craft a clear and coherent visual narrative that can be easily followed without audio cues. Structure your video in a way that communicates the key message effectively through visuals, gestures, and on-screen text. Aim for a seamless flow of information.
7. Captions and Transcriptions
In addition to on-screen text, consider providing captions or transcriptions for viewers who may have hearing impairments or prefer to read the content. These options allow them to fully understand the message and engage with your video.
8. Platform Optimization
Tailor your silent video to the specific platform where it will be marketed. Each platform may have different video specifications, such as aspect ratios or duration limits. Optimize your video accordingly to ensure it fits seamlessly within the platform's layout and captures attention.

Maintaining Health and Performance in the Young Ostrich: Applications for a Mannanoligosaccharide
Ostriches have been farmed mainly in the Little Karoo region of the Republic of South Africa (RSA) for over a 100 years, initially linked to a highly fluctuating fashion feather market (Smit, 1963). Since the 1970s and 1980s there has been a rapid demand for ostrich leather products as well as fresh meat, leading to a corresponding increase in bird numbers with significant farming operations established first in other parts of the RSA as well as Southern Africa (Namibia, Zimbabwe, Botswana) and then in North America, Europe, the Middle East as well as China and Southeast Asia. It was estimated that the domestic ostrich population worldwide could number approximately 1.1 million birds (Deeming and Angel, 1996), but this number is certainly increasing rapidly. There is, however, a severe lack of scientific knowledge addressing the health aspects of this unique production animal (Smith et al., 1995; Jensen et al., 1992; Huchzermeyer, 1994).
Most health problems in ostriches occur during the first 3 months of life (Swart, 1988; Terzich and Vanhooser, 1993; Huchzermeyer, 1994; Allwright, 1996; Grilli et al., 1996) with mortality figures between 30–40% up to that age accepted by many as 'normal'. Disease outbreaks can account for 80–100% mortalities in such young chicks, with 'survivors' remaining stunted. Although many of these are finally due to infectious causes, ostrich chicks are notorious for their susceptibility to various stressors, often manifesting as the so-called 'ostrich fading chick syndrome' (Figure 1). These stressors include nutritional deficiencies/imbalances, environmental fluctuations and social aspects. Furthermore, ostriches depend during the first 10–14 days of life or even longer on nutritional as well as passive immunological factors from yolk, suggesting an innate inability to fully utilise feed nutrients and to mount an effective immune response during this period.
Figure 1.Ostrich fading chick syndrome.
Production aspects
The adage 'a healthy production animal is one that performs according to predictable production parameters' is as true for ostriches as it is for cattle in feedlots, dairy cows, pigs or poultry. However, the extremely variable conditions experienced in different management systems and nutritional regimens as well as wide variations in genetics limit this consideration in ostrich production to 'farm standards' rather than 'industry standards' as in the more established types of animal production (Table 1). A holistic approach that accepts the production of ostriches as a continuous cycle where the quality at each stage is directly influenced by the previous stage has resulted in dramatic improvements in some production parameters. Two of the most commonly employed measurements, mortality before 3 months of age and growth during this period, will be used in the following discussion to illustrate the role of mannanoligosaccharides in achieving improvement.
Stimulation of non-specific immune response as demonstrated in a variety of species (Savage and Zakrzewska, 1996) by mannanoligosaccharides is another established mechanism that is probably playing a role in the improvements seen in immuno-compromised young ostrich chicks. A key factor in successful ostrich farming is the production of high quality ostrich chicks (Table 2) such that the critical first 3 months are begun without compromise.
Table 1. Some South African ostrich production parameters.
Table 2. Basic principles for the production of high quality ostrich chicks.
Gram-negative bacterial infections
E. COLI
E. coli is by far the most common species of Enterobacteriaceae isolated from clinically affected ostrich chicks. It causes both intestinal and extraintestinal infections in both man and animals and forms part of the normal gastrointestinal flora. E. coli causes mastitis and diarrhoea in cows and calves and septicaemia and enterotoxaemia in piglets, while poultry and ostriches present symptoms as sinusitis, airsacculitis, enteritis, hepatitis, pericarditis, septicaemia and yolk sac infections. The adhesion of E. coli to host tissue at the site of infection (mediated by appendages known as fimbriae or so-called adhesins) is an essential prelude to these numerous infections (Smyth et al., 1994).
Species- and tissue-specificity/tropism are often typical characteristics of certain E. coli serovars/strains. E. coli strains are classified according to the characteristics of their capsular (K), somatic (D), and flagellar (H) antigens, which determine to a large extent their respective pathogenicity. Fimbriae can be uncomplicated (Type 1) or be one of several other classes of complex morphological appearance. Type 1 fimbriae are found in at least 70–80% of all E. coli, including normal faecal isolates. It is believed that these fimbriae anchor E. coli to mucus in the intestine as well as to urinary tract mucus (Orskov et al., 1980). Type 1 fimbrial attachment is mediated through mannose-sensitive receptors. Adherence to urinary tract mucosa can indeed be blocked with anti-type 1 fimbrial monoclonal antibody or with a mannose-containing receptor analogue. Such interference inhibits the development of urinary tract infection (Abraham et al., 1985; Aronson et al., 1987).
It is likely that the same is true in the gastrointestinal tract, a more complex and difficult to study environment, as it was found that the number of chickens from which E. coli 15R (Type I fimbriae) could be recovered in controlled experiments were significantly lower (75 versus 15%) on a diet containing 4,000 ppm mannanoligosaccharide (Spring, 1996). Although adherence mediated by fimbriae determines the site of infections, virulence factors such as haemolysin, heat stable and heat labile enterotoxins, Shiga-like toxins and cytotoxic necrotising factor are responsible for the disease symptoms and the severity of the infection (Smyth et al., 1994).
The importance of bacterial infections to ostrich chicks is clear from Tables 3 and 4a and b with pathogenic E. coli the most commonly isolated primary pathogen. Several so-called 'rough' strains/opportunistics have been linked to endotoxaemic deaths in newborn compromised lambs ('watery mouth syndrome' ) so that the impact of E. coli infections in stressed ostrich chicks is likely to be much greater than that illustrated only by a list of the most common pathogenic types (Hodgson, 1993). The relative importance of the most common pathogenic serotypes isolated from ostriches by the Onderstepoort Veterinary Institute (OVI) Bacteriology Section is shown in Table 6d. Most of these could be clinically related to a primary enteritis syndrome.

Table 4b. Birds presented for bacteriological isolations.
SALMONELLA
There are no host-specific Salmonellae in ostriches as far as we know (Huchzermeyer, 1994), compared to the situation in chickens where S. pullorum and S. gallinarum play this role. Several non-pathogenic isolates of only academic significance are regularly isolated in several parts of the world (OVI records; Huchzermeyer, 1994; Vanhooser and Welsh, 1995; Welsh et al., 1997). In all investigations S. typhimurium was the most important pathogen, related to enteritis, multifocal hepatitis and splenitis with death as a result of generalised septicaemia. Screening tests (2,005 cloacal swabs, 2,573 serum samples) for S. gallinarum/pullorum, S. hadar and S. enteritidis on healthy 4–6 month old ostriches from Namibia are shown in Tables 5a and 5b. Investigations during the OVI Ostrich Unit's diagnostic programme in 1995–96 and 1996–97 seasons are shown in Table 6e. Eight of these salmonella infections were typed as S. typhimurium.
Several Salmonella spp. (e.g. S. typhimurium 29E) display Type I fimbrial attachment mechanisms similar to those of E. coli, and have been used in controlled studies to demonstrate the effects of mannanoligosaccharide supplementation (Spring, 1996).
This opportunistic agent is often present on contaminated surfaces and in natural water sources. It is often a sequel to severe stress, long-term antibiotic usage and concomitant with protozoal infections, e.g. Cryptosporidium, Balantidium. Infections are associated with any/all of the following: oral granulomas/ulcerations, conjunctivitis, severe enteritis, multifocal hepatitis and septicaemia (OVI records; Momotani et al., 1995; Huchzermeyer, 1994). See Table 6 for results from the OVI/Ostrich Unit diagnostic programme. The increase in cases (most of these very resistant to 'standard' antibiotics) parallel to the same tendency in yeast and fungal isolations is probably due to increased antibiotic use during the unusually wet season of 1996–1997.
Pseudomonas have similar adhesion mechanisms to E. coli and Salmonella spp. (Buxton and Fraser, 1977); but pathogenicity is related to extracellular products like pigments, proteases, haemolytic toxins and enterotoxins as well as the lethal exotoxin A (Quinn et al., 1994).
Other Gram-negative pathogens include Klebsiella pneumoniae and Campylobacter jejuni. Klebsiella pneumoniae is an opportunist associated with airsacculitis and enteritis. Campylobacter jejuni is associated with severe chronic pseudomembranous typhlocolitis, sometimes in conjunction with viral enteritis and often becomes systemic (hepatitis) during stress periods. Affected birds are often poor growers; so-called 'fading chicks'.
Gram-positive bacteria
CLOSTRIDIAL INFECTIONS
Clostridia are the most common Gram-positive pathogen in ostriches, with C. perfringens the most important (Table 6). C. colinum and C. diffıcile are also occasionally found (Huchzermeyer, 1994; Terzich and Vanhooser, 1993; Frasier et al., 1993). They are all associated with toxic, gas-forming inflammation of the gastrointestinal tract resulting in poor growth, recurrent diarrhoea and poor feed conversion rate. Many Clostridia have non-mannose sensitive receptor mechanisms, but are inhibited by the addition of Bio-Mos, a commercially-available source of mannan sugars derived from yeast cell wall material. It is speculated that the glucan portion of the yeast cell wall is the effective part in these instances.
Experimental evaluation of Bio-Mos in ostrich chicks
MORTALITY AND GROWTH PERFORMANCE
From the above it is clear that bacterial pathogens are a major cause of losses in ostrich production, and that most of them share the same adhesive mechanisms to the gastrointestinal mucosa. It was therefore hypothesised that the inclusion of Bio-Mos, a commercially available source of mannanoligosaccharide, would cause a general lower mortality rate, as well as a better growth performance. Bio-Mos added at 2 kg per tonne in the starter ration was evaluated on several farms during 1995–1996. Data from only one of these farms are shown in Figures 2 and 3 as several changes to management were made on the others that could confound the results. On the farm 'Magalies Volstruise' of Mr André Coetzee only Bio-Mos was added to an already above average management system. Mortalities were reduced on average by 5.5% compared to the mean over the 2 previous years.
An expected growth curve has been established over time on this farm through weekly weighing of all chicks and is used as a standard management tool for evaluating performance for the first 10 weeks. This allows early detection of subtle, erosive conditions. Traditionally February is the worst month. This is at the end of the breeding season, and late summer rains cause wet conditions and sudden temperature fluctuations between 30°C (max.) and 12°C (min.) on this farm. Note that in the control comparison period (Figure 3) from week 6–10 the chicks grow more slowly and the deviation from the standard curve gets wider as time goes by. At 10 weeks of age chicks weigh on average only 8 kg, instead of 8 kg at 7 weeks of age.
Growth performance in 1996 when Bio-Mos was included follows the same trend as every year except that chicks stay on course longer, and that from week 8–10 chicks grow at the expected rate to reach approximately 10 kg at 10 weeks when in 'normal' months it is 10 kg at 8 weeks of age. Notice in Figure 2 the mortality during this period compared to the previous year (26–17.5%) which corresponds closely to the average of 7% lower mortality in 1996 over the whole year.
ECONOMIC IMPACT
An estimate of the economic advantages of using Bio-Mos during ostrich chick rearing was derived using the 1997 production statistics and the following assumptions:
Ostrich chicks consume 5.2 kg of starter feed until the age of 5 weeks. (Bio-Mos included at 0.2% = 11 g)
Therefore 30 g of Bio-Mos were used in raising an ostrich chick to the age of 10 weeks.
Using the total amount of Bio-Mos sold to ostrich producers in 1997 and assuming 30 g Bio-Mos were consumed per bird, 166,667 birds received the product. Fifteen of the farms were contacted, all of which produce an average of 2–3,000 chicks per year (i.e. 40,000 chicks; 24% sample size). Estimated improvements varied from 5 to 20% fewer mortalities during the first 10 weeks. (In one case a 50–60% improvement was reported!) Thus, 5% more chicks (× 2,000 birds produced on average) equates to 100 extra chicks while 20% more chicks equals an added 400 chicks. With less than 5% mortality from 10 weeks till slaughter this could mean 95–380 extra slaughter birds.
Conclusions
Due to the importance of bacterial enteric pathogens as a major cause of mortality in young ostriches, the use of mannose oligosaccharides as an adhesionblocking agent has been very effective in lowering mortality in ostrich chicks less than 3 months old in South Africa. An average of 5–20% lower mortality, representing a tremendous financial benefit to the respective producers, was noted on 15 farms during 1997 representing 40,000 chicks from a total of approximately 167,000 ostrich chicks that were raised during this period on feed including Bio-Mos in South Africa. | eng | 40a43670-59bc-4351-bd1c-f352cd419add | https://en.engormix.com/poultry-industry/articles/health-performance-in-young-ostrich-t33964.htm |

Beowulf: A True Hero In Literature Essay
Beowulf by Gareth Hinds is graphic novel based on the AngloSaxon epic from 1000 A. D. This work tells the story of a warriorprince named Beowulf, who completes various heroic tasks throughout the epic story. How to Read Literature like a Professor by Thomas C. Foster teaches the reader the real qualities and characteristics it takes to be a true hero in literature. In his quests Beowulf proves that he is a true hero in literature. In chapter 1 of How to Read Literature like a Professor, Thomas C. Foster explains how the quest of a hero works in literature.
The quest consists of five things (a) a quester, (b) a place to go, (C) a stated reason to go there, (d) challenges and trials en route, (e) a real reason to go there (Foster 3). In Beowulf's first quest he is the quester and his place to go is hall Heorot. The stated reason to go there is to defeat Grendel with his bare hands and the challenges and trials are Grendel killing the other soldiers and fighting the Grendel with no weapons. Beowulf eventually does defeat the Grendel with no weapons and Beowulf now is looked upon as the mightiest of all warriors.
Beowulfs next quest is to find and track Grendel's mother back to her lair. On this quest too Beowulf faces obstacles, such as sea monsters along the way. Beowulf eventually finds Grendel's mother lair and beheads her. Beowulf's last quest unquestionably proves Beowulf to be a true hero. This last quest comes when Beowulf is an elderly king unlike his first two quests when he is a youthful warrior. Being elderly alone is a challenge in this quest also he is limited on men and supplies, "None have I left to lift the sword or to cleanse the carven drinking-cup.
In this last quest Beowulf and eleven of his men are faced up against a rueful dragon. Beowulf decides that he will not risk the lives of his men, instead he will fight the dragon all by himself. "One of these two things must be: either I will carry away his treasure or death at last will fund me… "(Hinds 84). This quote shows how Beowulf is not selfish or a coward and is willing to die for his men even though he is of a higher rank. This is a quality that any real hero must have, an unselfish nature. Beowulf defeats the dragon but is wounded in this fight and is accepting of the fact that he will die.
In this last quest though Beowulf dies, he now realizes that the real reason for these quests is to save the lives of many people. Beowulf says, "Fifty years have I watched over my people, nor has any ruler of the nations round about dared to cross my borders with hostile purpose… For all these things, though I am mortally wounded, glad am I. " This quote shows how Beowulf truly is a hero, because even though he is dying, he is glad. He is glad that he was able to save many lives, protect his nation, and never falsely swear on an oath.
In chapter 10 of How to Read Literature like a Professor Thomas C. Foster explains how in order to keep the plot flowing people must die instead of the hero. "The plot needs something to happen in order to move forward, so someone must be sacrificed. That 'someone' is rarely the protagonist" (Foster 84). This quote shows how someone must be sacrificed in order to continue the plot. In Beowulf there is a good example of this. When Aeschere is killed Beowulf says, "Tis better for a man to avenge his friends death than to spend his days lamenting.
This quote leads to Beowulf's next quest, which is to kill Grendel's mother. Without the death of Aeschere the plot would be stuck with no flow to Beowulf's next quest. This shows how Beowulf can be classified as a hero in literature. Lastly, Beowulf is a hero because he was never afraid to die for the purpose of his quest, multiple times he said he was either to die or achieve his goal. Some may believe that Beowulf is not a hero for multiple reasons. One of these reasons can be that people believe that Beowulf went on these quests for the treasure or accolades.
Another reason can be that Beowulf dies on his last quest, which is very unlike a hero. Foster states that the hero is rarely the one to be sacrificed for the plot, in which this case Beowulf does die. Although, Beowulf does die he realizes that his life has saved the lives of many others. He sacrificed himself to save the lives of other people, which is one of the most heroic things possible to do. Beowulf never asked King Hrogthar what he would get for defeating the Grendel, instead he did it to save the lives of others. This shows how he does not go on his quests for the treasure or the accolades.
Beowulf has every quality there is to have for a literary hero. He is unselfish and completed quests that in the end made him a wiser person. Beowulf was in all his quests risking his own life to save the lives of others, it wasn't until he was dying that he realized this. Before his epiphany he believed the real reason for his quests was just to accomplish them, this shows how Beowulf is a dynamic character because he changes from beginning to end of the epic. Beowulf is glad as he is dying because he now knows of all the good he has done.

Strength in Leadership
Strength in Leadership
Welcome to Monday Minute With God. A place to start the week right and tools to keep you in the word all week long.
Strength in Leadership
How do leaders demonstrate their inner strength?
David drew people to God when he gave God all the glory for the home of the Ark of the Covenant. The people were blessed to be near the place where Jehovah dwells.
1 Chronicles16: 1-3 And they brought in the ark of God and placed it inside the tent which David had pitched for it, and they offered burnt offerings and peace offerings before God. When David had finished offering the burnt offering and the peace offerings, he blessed the people in the name of the LORD. He distributed to everyone of Israel, both man and woman, to everyone a loaf of bread and a portion of meat and a raisin cake.
1 Chronicles 16 begins with the Ark of the Covenant being given a home. It was not the temple God had promised would be built. David had too much violence and blood in his life to build the Temple. Instead God ordained his son Solomon would build the temple. Yet, David was called "a man after God's own heart". David brought the Ark back to the people, close to where he was living, so he could make sure it was cared for and revered.
Verses 1-6 talk of putting the Ark into the tent so that it has a home. David showed great strength as a follower first and a leader second. In verse 1 he told the people that God shall have the glory. David gave God glory through first the offerings then through the song he composed (verses 7-36). He was strong enough to stand in front of the people and give all the glory to God and not himself.
In this time of selfies and an "I-love-me-some-of-this…" generation, it is hard to imagine a person who chose to stand in front of a huge crowd and give all glory to God. David showed extreme strength to not allow his pride to creep into his service. His strength as a follower is manifest to all the people. When I am called to lead, it is hard for me to stand in front of people and focus everything on God. Many times I think afterwards that God was glorified, but I also worry if people liked me and what I said. That's when my pride takes over and I think that it is about me. In reality the most powerful times in my life happened when I gave everything to God and He spoke through me.
David showed his inner strength by being a leader. He wanted his people to have joy through the location of the Ark. In a time before Jesus walked on the earth and people felt his touch, the followers of God relied on the presence of God in the Ark of the Covenant. The Ark was near the people. It had a home where they could worship the Lord. It meant that Jehovah was dwelling with them. David showed his strength as a leader by making the joy of his people a priority. He wanted them to have joy in knowing that God is with them. He spoke a blessing from God over them and then fed them more than they expected.
Core Concept:
Leaders show strength through following as well as leading.
Think about It:
Who in the Bible showed strength through following? How?
Who in the Bible showed strength through leading? How?
Looking ahead to 1 Chronicles 16:7-36 which phrases stand out to you?
Strength in Leadership this week:
Day 1: What is strength.
Memorize: 1 Chronicles 16:2 When David had finished offering the burnt offering and the peace offerings, he blessed the people in the name of the LORD.
In Webster's Dictionary, strength is defined as the quality or state of being strong. Likewise, it is good quality or beneficial attribute of a person or thing. Strength is something we all need at some point in our lives. God gives us the strength we need when we need it.
I often think I am not strong enough but when I turn to God He gives me more than I can imagine. Think back to a time when you felt you could not handle a situation yet you did through God's strength. Journal about that story or make a memento to help you remember that story.
Day 2: What is Leadership.
Leadership by definition is the position of a person or the actions of a person who guides or directs a group. When I first thought of leadership I thought of take action people. A leader is supposed to lead the group like a drum major. But then being a military spouse I thought of generals who are behind the lines directing the troops. Leadership can take many forms. You can be an up front person or a behind the scenes person. Which type of leader are you? Ask people around you for their opinions. Do they see you as you do?
Day 3: Strength through following.
David was a leader who was willing to follow God. He was standing in front of the people blessing them from God. Yet he followed God by not building the temple. God told him no. David showed true strength by following God through this act of obedience. David showed his strength through blessing the people with a place for the Ark even though he must have been disappointed for it not to be the Temple. When have you been disappointed yet continued to follow God rather than your own path? Journal about this story or make a memento about it.
Day 4. Strength through leading.
King David brought the Ark to the tent in Jerusalem. After setting up the tent he led the people in worship, through offering a burnt offering and peace offerings. He wanted to make sure the people started off right. This was to be a sacred place so David made sure that offerings were done correctly. He did not worry about what people thought. He knew that he had to give the glory to God and God alone. Do you give God the glory in all that you do or blame Him when things go wrong? Prayerfully ask God to change you into a person who gives Him glory in your leadership.
Day 5 Strength in Leadership.
Leadership is a hard thing. Many people want to lead but can end up leading people astray. In 1 Chronicles 16 we see King David following God first then leading the people second. His focus on God first shows that he truly was a "man after God's own heart". He had a godly focus and served through serving and worship. Look around you. Where can you lead? Remember you don't have to lead from the front, you can lead behind the scenes as well. As you prayerfully consider this week's study look at ways to lead that will glorify God.

The Science Behind Sports: An In-Depth Analysis
Sports Analysis plays a crucial role in understanding the science behind sports and maximizing athletic performance. Whether it's analyzing the movements and techniques of athletes or evaluating the strategies employed by teams, the field of Sports Analysis provides invaluable insights into the intricate dynamics of various sports. By utilizing scientific methods, data analysis, and advanced technologies, researchers and analysts gain a deeper understanding of what happens on the field, court, or track. These insights not only help athletes improve their skills, but also aid coaches and teams in developing winning strategies based on evidence and sound analysis. In this article, we will delve into the fascinating world of Sports Analysis and explore how it contributes to pushing the boundaries of human performance in sports. Get ready to uncover the hidden patterns and science behind success in the realm of athletics.
The Role of Biomechanics in Sports
Biomechanics plays a pivotal role in sports by providing a scientific understanding of how the human body moves and functions during athletic activities. By applying principles of physics and engineering, biomechanics helps athletes and coaches analyze and improve performance, prevent injuries, and enhance overall efficiency.
One key aspect of sports analysis is the measurement and analysis of forces and motion in order to assess and optimize athletic performance. Biomechanics allows us to quantify important variables such as speed, power, and trajectory, providing valuable insights for athletes to fine-tune their techniques and strategies.
Another area where biomechanics proves invaluable is in injury prevention. By examining 꽁머니 and loads experienced by different parts of the body during sports movements, researchers can identify potential risk factors and prescribe interventions to mitigate the chances of injury occurrence. Understanding the biomechanics of an athlete's technique can help identify problematic movement patterns and suggest corrective measures to reduce the risk of biomechanical imbalances.
Moreover, biomechanics also enables the design and refinement of sports equipment and facilities. By studying how forces are transmitted through sporting equipment, such as tennis rackets or running shoes, engineers can make improvements that enhance performance and reduce the risk of injury.
In summary, biomechanics plays a central role in sports analysis by providing insights into the mechanics of human movement, optimizing performance, preventing injuries, and facilitating improvements in sports equipment. Through a scientific understanding of biomechanics, athletes and coaches can gain a competitive edge and elevate the standards of athletic performance.
The Importance of Sports Psychology
Sports psychology plays a crucial role in the success of athletes and teams. It focuses on the mental and emotional aspects of sports performance, helping athletes enhance their mindset and achieve peak performance. Understanding and harnessing the power of sports psychology can make a significant difference in improving an athlete's performance and overall well-being.
One key aspect of sports psychology is building mental resilience. Athletes face various challenges and setbacks throughout their careers. Developing mental toughness and the ability to bounce back from failures can be the difference between success and defeat. Sports psychologists work with athletes to cultivate effective techniques to cope with pressure, manage stress, and maintain focus, leading to improved performance in high-pressure situations.
Sports psychology also helps athletes strengthen their motivation and commitment to their sport. By setting specific goals and creating a plan to achieve them, athletes can stay focused and motivated throughout their training and competitions. Sports psychologists assist athletes in developing positive self-talk and visualization techniques, which boost confidence and enhance their belief in their abilities.
Additionally, sports psychology plays a vital role in team dynamics. It helps athletes improve their communication and leadership skills, fostering a sense of cohesion and unity within the team. Sports psychologists work with athletes to promote effective teamwork, cooperation, and support, all of which are essential for achieving team goals.
In conclusion, sports psychology is an invaluable tool for athletes and teams to optimize their performance and achieve their goals. By strengthening mental resilience, motivation, and teamwork, sports psychologists empower athletes to overcome challenges, enhance their performance, and ultimately reach their full potential.
Analyzing Sports Performance through Data
In today's world, sports analysis has become increasingly reliant on data-driven insights to understand and improve performance. By meticulously collecting and analyzing data, coaches and athletes can gain valuable insights into their strengths, weaknesses, and areas for improvement.
One significant aspect of sports analysis is the use of performance metrics. These metrics vary depending on the sport but can include factors such as speed, agility, accuracy, and endurance. Athletes and coaches can track and compare these metrics over time to measure progress and identify areas that need attention.
Moreover, data analysis can also uncover patterns and trends within a team or individual performance. By examining data from multiple games or matches, analysts can identify strategic patterns, uncover opponent weaknesses, and make informed decisions about training and game plans.
Another important application of data analysis in sports is injury prevention. By studying historical injury data, analysts can identify risk factors and develop strategies to minimize the chances of injury. This can include analyzing player workload, fatigue levels, and movement patterns to detect potential issues before they become serious problems.
In conclusion, data-driven analysis has revolutionized the way we understand and improve sports performance. Through the collection and examination of performance metrics, patterns, and injury data, coaches and athletes can gain valuable insights to enhance training, strategize effectively, and ultimately elevate their performance to new heights. | eng | 3072f54c-c9a3-465d-a366-0a6aa70c6f7c | https://www.sathkar.com/the-science-behind-sports-an-in-depth-analysis/ |

With the increasing demand for sound control, the industry is constantly striving to provide high-quality products in the market. This is where these panels come into the picture. Their design and manufacture have evolved over the years to offer a complete solution. In addition, a wide variety of the advantages provided by these products make them more attractive to many of today's construction concerns.
Sound absorbing panelsare selected to get the highest possible noise reduction from the surroundings, possibly with only the minimum encumliction. As they come loaded with a varied choice of design attributes, they are preferred by builders across the world for such projects. The best solution in this regard is the application of such panels, which utilize the most technically feasible materials. Generally, the panels possess dielectric materials, which ensure the highest absorption levels. They are also equipped with dampers, which minimize sound propagation while maximizing energy efficiency.
The modern age of construction sees the manufacturing of sound-absorbing panels employing the most advanced methods and technologies. In addition to this, they are also manufactured using high-quality raw materials. Typically, the best material options utilized in producing acoustical sound-proofing panels are steel, aluminum, wood, and fiberglass. Steel is believed to be one of the best choices because of its structural integrity and flexibility. Wood and fiberglass are also used, though, to a certain extent, it depends on the type of wood used and its processing techniques.
Sound-absorbent materials, no matter their form, are instrumental in ensuring the preservation of good acoustics in any space. Concerning spaces utilized for various purposes, special techniques need to be employed to make them sound-proof. Sound-proofing is not a one-off affair. It needs to be maintained for every space for which it is intended. Here are some of how acoustic comfort can be maintained through sound absorbing panels:
– Modify the colors of your rooms. White and off-white are the two commonly used colors for constructing sound absorbing panels. However, you can experiment with different colors as long as they remain by the dimensions of your rooms. For instance, you can experiment with varying shades of off-white and see how the resulting color scheme affects the image source. This is an excellent way of modifying the look of your rooms without changing the theme or structure of the room.
– Paint your walls. If you want to create an image with your acoustic wall panels utterly different from the one you originally have installed, paint the walls instead of covering them up. This is not only a cheaper alternative but also an easier way of achieving your desired effects. Of course, in case you do not have the time to spend painting your walls, you can always opt for just installing the sound-absorbing ceiling tiles. However, if you want to paint your wall, make sure that you take your time to choose the right color so that it complements the rest of the interior design.
– Make the most out of your acoustic paneling. Your images will be maximized when you choose the right color for your panels. Similarly, your floor tiles and other accessories should also be selected to go along with your panels. This will ensure that all the elements of your room come together and compliment each other so that the final image you get is one that perfectly complements your space.
If you plan to install just one pair of echopanel acoustic panels in your design, then go for the primary colors. However, if you want to create a much more exciting ambiance or design in your home, you can opt for more colors and patterns. You may also want to install lighting that is in the same colors as the panels. Remember that the colors you choose for your meetings should match those you choose for your ceiling tiles, flooring, furniture, and other accessories. This will give a coherent image to your design and will also give you perfect harmony. | eng | d5ac1ba6-ea63-41fc-ba32-f0aab3e428b6 | https://houzdream.com/decorating-with-echopanel-acoustic-panels/ |
We also look at what causes such a low incubation pressure can have and what can be done about it.
Values low blood pressure
Low blood pressure
Let's start at the beginning: when do we speak of low blood pressure? Generally speaking, with normal blood pressure, the upper pressure is less than 140 and the negative pressure is less than 95; otherwise we speak of too high a value. Men have hypotension – a blood pressure that is too low – if the values are below 110/70. In women we speak of hypotension with a blood pressure lower than 100/60. In principle, blood pressure is only really too low when someone experiences complaints.
But the moment someone experiences complaints differs from person to person. If you get complaints with a certain blood pressure value, this does not necessarily mean that someone else with the same value also has complaints.
Symptoms
Low blood pressure usually does not cause any symptoms and is often discovered by accident. Low blood pressure can have unpleasant symptoms. The following are common:
Dizziness, especially when standing up after sitting for a long time
See black spots or blurred vision
Woozy
Fatigue
Nausea
Pass out
Being cold or very warm
Causes low blood pressure
Most of the time, low blood pressure has no obvious cause and is nothing to worry about. It's more annoying than unhealthy. At times, low blood pressure can be more common. For example, in case of blood loss due to heavy menstruation or internal bleeding or loss of fluid due to vomiting. Other causes can include:
Pregnancy
Cardiac arrhythmias
Certain medications, such as water pills
Anemia
Therapy
Because low blood pressure usually has no identifiable cause, it is often difficult or impossible to treat. In many cases, no treatment is required either, as it is not harmful to your body. Although the symptoms can be very annoying, it is not serious. If there is a clear cause for the low blood pressure, it can often be addressed. For example, anemia[1] can be treated with supplements, and a lack of fluid can be replenished to a good level.
Dealing with complaints
If no clear cause can be found, you will especially have to learn to deal with the complaints that are associated with the low blood pressure. For example, in the case of dizziness, it is important that you slowly get up after getting up, take your time and sit down again when the vertigo becomes severe. It is also wise to drink enough in warm weather or exercise. Of course that is always important, but especially with low blood pressure, a shortage of moisture and salt can cause complaints.
If you are dizzy and think you might pass out, it may help to cross your legs and press together. This ensures that the blood pressure rises, which often reduces the complaints. Tightening your buttocks or making fists of your hands also has a similar effect. If you are about to pass out, it is wise to sit or lie down, preferably with your legs up. This causes the blood to flow back to your head faster, allowing you to recover more quickly.
Salt
Although with high blood pressure values you often hear that people should eat less salt, eating more salt is not a good solution to solve the low blood pressure. Eating too much salt causes more complaints and health risks than it could solve in this case | eng | e30a9f52-ebe6-41fc-a039-46373d57c461 | https://healthbas.com/you-can-recognize-low-blood-pressure-by-these-symptoms/ |

A trash heap as tall as the Eiffel Tower
Environmental topics are of great importance to management accountants due to the profession's focus on sustainability. But even an accountant can sometimes have a difficult time comprehending how the everyday actions of individuals — such as buying a plastic bottle of soda, for instance — can have such a big impact on the environment. So here's an example to help illustrate the problem of plastic waste: Every two days, enough plastic bottles are sold around the world that if piled in one place would reach the height of the Eiffel Tower (324 metres or 1,063 feet). This interactive graphic helps visualise just how much waste is created from all those bottles | eng | 81a1f0ee-c07c-4dc1-97a7-df6030f3aab5 | https://www.fm-magazine.com/news/2019/sep/plastic-waste-infographic.html |

Sayers Croft - Day 3
Posted on: 05/10/2022
Day 3 and over halfway through the week... how time flies when you're having fun!
We went out on our big walk up Pitch Hill, which was over 10km! Our expert guide, Gail, taught us how to measure the age of beech and oak trees using hugs and we found trees that were over 200 years old. We sharpened our orienteering skills, using our maps and compasses to lead the class up the hill and conkered (*conkers pictured below*) new heights!
Year 6 spotted lots of exciting wildlife. First off we horsed around and fed some friendly horses. We then giddied up and encountered our next creature, a lost baby bat! Gail barely bat-ted an eyelid as she scooped it up to take it to safety.
As we approached the summit, the heavens opened, but nothing could dampen our spirits. We learned how to use emergency rain shelters and enjoyed a picnic with a twist! Year 6 were on cloud 9 as they posed for some hill-arious group photos. We gave it some welly on the way down! We enjoyed splashing in the muddy puddles and finished by walking around the beautiful village of Ewhurst.
We had truly urn-ed the hot chocolate and biscuits that were waiting for us back at our dorm. Despite the rain, we weren't stick-ing around for long, as we went to collect some firewood for our evening activity. We then split into teams to go head-to-head in the Big St Clement Danes Quiz! We wowed our teachers with our knowledge of St CD history and our new countryside facts.
Then we got all fired up and ended the day with toasted marshmallows, songs and a (gently) spooky story around the campfire.
We're so excited for Day 4 and to tell Ms Harney about everything we've been up to when she comes to visit us tomorrow! | eng | 42adef0f-3d3a-48ca-8b60-e36ce47e21d2 | https://www.st-clementdanes.westminster.sch.uk/341/latest-blogs/post/1888/sayers-croft-day-3-1 |
Osteoarthritis vs. Osteoporosis
Osteoarthritis vs. Osteoporosis
Arthritis is a common problem that is
suffered by a lot of elder people. This is a condition that usually affects
your joints. The common arthritis symptoms include joint pain, inflammation,
swelling, etc. Also, there are different types of arthritis including
rheumatoid arthritis, psoriatic arthritis, osteoarthritis, etc. It is estimated
that there are more than a hundred forms of arthritis.
Osteoarthritis is a common type of
arthritis that is commonly found in people. However, many people confuse this
disease for osteoporosis which is a condition that affects your bones. Although
they sound similar, these two are different conditions that have to be treated
differently. Sometimes, it can possible for you to have both these conditions
together which makes it difficult for distinguishing one from another. Hence,
we provide some insight into these diseases for helping you to differentiate
between them.
Osteoarthritis
(OA)
This is a degenerative joint disease that
causes the thinning or destruction of cartilage that encloses the end of your
bones. OA is usually characterized by the symptoms including pain, stiffness
and loss of mobility of the affected joint. Hence, it can reduce your ability
to indulge in physical activities and thereby reducing the quality of life.
Symptoms
The joints that are commonly affected by
osteoarthritis include knees, hips, fingers, feet, spine, etc. Each joint in
your body will be affected differently by this disease and it is easy for you
to overlook the symptoms. It can result in pain in your joints that is caused
by the overuse of a joint, painful bony growth in your finger joints or
prolonged immobility, etc.
Diagnosis
This disease can be identified with the
help of medical history, physical examination and also using x-rays of the
joints that are affected.
Risk
factors
The common risk factors for
osteoarthritis include excess weight, physical inactivity, overuse or injury of
joints. It can be hereditary too.
Osteoporosis
Osteoporosis is a condition that is
caused by the thinning of your bones that will make them vulnerable to damages
and fractures. You may not be able to detect the presence of this disease until
you break a bone. This condition can reduce the quality and quantity of your
bones.
Symptoms
People with osteoporosis can fracture
bones easily even by bending, or sneezing, etc. Wrist, spine, hip fractures are
commonly associated with this disease.
Diagnosis
The presence of this disease is
identified using a bone mineral density test that measures the amount of bone
in the hip and spine.
Risk
factors
The risk of this disease can be reduced
by taking action in the beginning stages itself. The major risk factors of
osteoporosis include reduced bone mineral density, older age, certain
medications, family history, etc. | eng | 3136719a-28af-4235-b892-4c6a1851b6ea | https://myarthritispain.com/arthritis-symptoms/osteoarthritis-vs-osteoporosis/ |

Our everyday lives revolve around mobile apps. We rely on mobile apps for many things, from ordering food to booking a ride. As the demand for mobile apps grows, businesses, too, need faster and more efficient mobile app development methods. This is where we see the magic of low-code mobile app development.
Low-code mobile app development is building mobile apps using visual interfaces and drag-and-drop components instead of writing code from scratch. You can create apps quickly without requiring extensive coding knowledge.
In this article, we discuss the rise of low-code mobile app development and what you need to know about it.
Why is Low-Code Mobile App Development on the Rise?
Low-code mobile app development is gaining popularity due to various factors that make it a preferred choice for businesses and developers. Firstly, the increasing demand for mobile apps has made it essential for companies to have a mobile presence.
Traditional app development methods are time-consuming and require high technical expertise. It makes it difficult for businesses to keep up with the market demand.
Moreover, there is no need for more skilled developers. Low-code mobile app development allows businesses to create apps even with a small team. This makes it easier for companies to develop apps in-house and reduces the cost of hiring external developers.
Low-code mobile app development tools are designed to be user-friendly, reducing the learning curve for developers and making it easier for them to create high-quality apps. These tools provide:
Where can you use low-code app development?
Principles of low code app development?
Low-code development is based on a set of principles that aim to simplify the software process and empower developers with limited programming knowledge.
Low-code platforms enable users to create applications by visually modeling the desired functionality, rather than writing extensive lines of code. Abstraction allows developers to work at a higher level of abstraction, focusing on the logic and functionality of the application rather than the technical implementation details.
Low-code app development promotes rapid iteration and agility by facilitating quick changes and updates to applications. The platforms offer features such as drag-and-drop interfaces, pre-built components, and reusable templates.
Benefits of Low-Code Mobile App Development
Faster Development Time
Low-code mobile app development allows developers to create apps quickly and easily using visual interfaces and drag-and-drop components. This reduces the time it takes to develop an app. So businesses get their products to market faster.
Lower Development Costs
Traditional app development methods require a high level of technical expertise, which can be expensive. Low-code mobile app development eliminates the need for extensive coding knowledge, reducing development costs.
Easier Maintenance
Low-code mobile app development makes maintaining and updating apps easier. You can make changes quickly and easily using visual interfaces and drag-and-drop components.
Increased Flexibility
Low-code mobile app development process allows developers to create flexible and easily customized apps to meet the needs of different businesses and users.
Improved Collaboration
Low-code mobile app development makes it easier for developers and business stakeholders to collaborate on app development projects. Visual interfaces and drag-and-drop components make communicating ideas easier and making changes in real time.
Challenges of Low-Code Mobile App Development
While low-code mobile app development has many benefits, it also has some challenges.
Limited Customization
Low-code mobile app development tools may not offer the same level of customization as traditional app development methods. This limits the functionality of the app and makes it challenging to meet the specific needs of particular businesses or users.
Security Concerns
Low-code mobile app development tools may not offer the same level of security as traditional app development methods. This can put sensitive data at risk and hackers can exploit vulnerabilities.
Learning Curve
While low-code mobile app dev platforms tools are designed to be easy to use, a learning curve is still involved. Developers may need to learn how to use the tools effectively before creating high-quality apps.
Conclusion
Low-code mobile app development is on the rise, and for a good reason. It offers a faster, more efficient way to develop mobile apps, making it an attractive option for businesses and developers alike.
While there are some challenges to using low-code mobile app development tools, the benefits outweigh the risks.

Which areas of the United States are most affected by radiological water contamination?
February 08, 20223 min read
It should come as no surprise that tap water contains a variety of pollutants, as it results from unfiltered water supplies streamed from groundwater, lakes, or rivers. However, it still comes as a surprise to many Americans that radiological water contaminants, including uranium and radium, are present in the tap water being consumed by households every day. In fact, more than half of Americans are unknowingly drinking tap water contaminated with radiological pollutants.
Many of these pollutants occur in nature, rubbing off from rocks and seeping into groundwater supplies. Others are man-made and are being released (intentionally or accidentally) from nuclear power plants, medical facilities, and mining industries into the environment, eventually finding their way into underground water storage. Radiological pollutants, even if consumed in small doses, lead to increased risk of cancer, kidney failure, birth defects, and cell mutation in children. No area of the United States is completely free of these contaminants, but California, Colorado, Texas, and the New England area face unusually high risks of radiological contaminants in their water.
For example, Cape Cod, Massachusetts is currently under threat of nearly one million gallons of contaminated water being dumped into its bay. A closed power plant in Plymouth needs to dump its stored waste, and legally they are allowed to dump radioactive water into the Cape Cod Bay. According to the Clean Water Act, it is illegal to discharge "common water pollutants" in the bay, but radioactive chemicals are not included in the definition of pollutants. This allows nuclear companies to willingly pollute the water that will enter households of individuals and families across New England.
While some areas are affected by man-made radiologicals, others face the inevitable challenge of naturally-occuring radiologicals entering their water supply. Southeastern Colorado holds the record for housing six out of the ten cities with the worst radium levels in the nation. For over twenty years, these communities were aware of the extremely high levels of radium in their tap water, but lack of funds to filter the water leave residents with no choice. Already poor communities attempt to install reverse osmosis filtration systems, but they have no way of paying for them without increasing rent on the property. The contamination continues unhindered in these rural communities.
Since large-scale change in filtering radiologically polluted water has yet to occur in most of the country, risk of cancer and kidney disease continues to increase through the consumption of contaminated tap water. Instead of waiting around for an expensive infrastructure change, individuals can do their part to protect themselves from radiological contaminants. Seychelle Radiological filters are independently lab tested to removegross beta, alpha radium 226, cesium 137 & 134, uranium and radon 222. By investing in a Seychelle water filter, tap water pollutants will be nowhere near you or your family.
Frequently Asked Questions
What are radiological water contaminants?
Radiological contaminants, or radionuclides, are undesirable radioactive substances that find their way into a water supply. They can be found in nature or produced in nuclear and medical facilities.
Are radiological contaminants harmful?
Yes. While different contaminants have different effects on the human body, contaminants like radon and uranium are associated with kidney damage and liver cancer, among other health defects.
Who is affected by radiological contaminants?
Over half of the United States is affected by these contaminants, most unknowingly. California, Colorado, Texas, and New England currently face the most threat.
How can I protect myself from consuming radionuclides?
While there is no doubt the chemicals are present in tap water, they can be safely filtered out. Seychelle water filters allow peace of mind knowing that these contaminants can be stopped from being consumed. | eng | 0b13f11b-be74-4929-971b-ca5751a3e883 | https://www.seychelle.com/blogs/news/which-areas-of-the-united-states-are-most-affected-by-radiological-water-contamination |
John Cena Explains Why He's No Longer A Full-Time Wrestler
John Cena made his WWE debut in 2002 by accepting Kurt Angle's open challenge. At the time, WWE products became stale after Steve Austin and The Rock transitioned into part-timers. Three years later, Cena became the face of the company and changed the WWE landscape in an unprecedented way.
The Cenation Leader inspired a lot of generations and he is one of the reasons why WWE became a global phenomenon. However, John Cena transitioned to Hollywood in 2019 and became one of its megastars. Cena sporadically competed on WWE television since 2019.
In an interview with Busted Open Radio, the 16-time World Champion stated that he can't perform like he used to.
"I wish I was still there every day. My body can't do it anymore and I don't want to give the consumer a bad product. That's another thing that I learned from those veterans at the time, guys like Eddie just would risk so much. and he's like, I'm never gonna give the consumer a bad product.. I'm at a point where everything I have in comparison to the bar that's been set, like what I have is what you saw at WrestleMania 39. That's what I feel confident that I can deliver and that's really nice for here and there. That's not every day in the WWE. That's not every day in sports entertainment. Sports entertainment has raised the bar and I'm humble enough to say that's awesome because you're supposed to leave it better than you found it and the people are supposed to advance it." | eng | d2c159eb-95b8-4f49-a08d-3974e26c15f2 | https://thespotlightnews.com/john-cena-explains-why-hes-no-longer-a-full-time-wrestler/ |
Nursing Homes and Dementia: Providing Specialized Care for Seniors
As we age, many of us may experience memory loss or other cognitive impairments. For some seniors, these changes can lead to dementia, a condition that affects their ability to think, remember, and reason. Dementia can be challenging to manage, especially for family members who may not have the necessary training or resources to provide the specialized care required. In these cases, nursing homes can provide a safe, supportive environment for seniors with dementia.
What is Dementia?
Dementia is a general term used to describe a group of symptoms associated with a decline in cognitive functioning. These symptoms can include memory loss, difficulty communicating, mood swings, and changes in behavior. Dementia can be caused by various underlying conditions, including Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, and vascular dementia.
The Importance of Specialized Care for Seniors with Dementia
Seniors with dementia require specialized care that addresses their unique needs. Nursing homes that offer memory care programs can provide this type of care by providing a secure and supportive environment for seniors with dementia. Memory care programs can include structured activities that promote mental and physical engagement, as well as medical management to address symptoms associated with dementia.
The Benefits of Nursing Homes for Seniors with Dementia
A safe and secure environment that is designed to minimize wandering and other risky behaviors.
A structured routine that can help reduce anxiety and promote a sense of calm.
Access to trained professionals who specialize in dementia care.
Opportunities for socialization with peers who share similar experiences and challenges.
Access to medical care, including medication management and assistance with daily living activities.
How to Choose a Nursing Home for a Loved One with Dementia
Choosing a nursing home for a loved one with dementia can be a challenging decision. Here are some factors to consider:
The facility's reputation and experience in providing dementia care.
The quality of the staff and their training in dementia care.
The availability of specialized memory care programs and services.
The physical environment of the facility, including safety features and accessibility.
The cost of care and the availability of financial assistance, such as Medicaid or veterans benefits.
The Role of Family in Dementia Care
While nursing homes can provide excellent care for seniors with dementia, family members still have a critical role to play in their loved one's care. Family members can provide emotional support, help with decision-making, and maintain a connection with their loved one. Here are some tips for family members of seniors with dementia:
Be patient and understanding, as dementia can cause changes in behavior and mood.
Learn about dementia and its effects, so you can better understand your loved one's experience.
Seek support from family, friends, and support groups to manage the stress of caregiving.
Conclusion
Dementia is a challenging condition that requires specialized care. Nursing homes that offer memory care programs can provide a safe, supportive environment for seniors with dementia, offering numerous benefits such as access to trained professionals, socialization, and medical care. However, it is essential to carefully choose a nursing home that has experience in dementia care and offers high-quality services. Family members also play a critical role in supporting their loved one's care and should seek support when needed. With the right care and support, seniors with dementia can live with dignity and quality of life | eng | 57dbd1b4-f9cc-4f7d-b448-776397b6f4c4 | https://1-gsm.com/nursing-homes-and-dementia-providing-specialized-care-for-seniors |

NAMM 2021: Nugen Stereoizer Elements announced
Published 19/1/21
Powerful stereo width adjustment made easy
Nugen Audio, the Leeds, UK-based plug-in team behind the unique Paragon reverb, are due to release a cut-down version of their Stereoizer psychoacoustic processor. The new Stereoizer Elements employs all the same stereo trickery as the original, but combines multiple parameters into one user-friendly slider.
So, when you increase or decrease the width in Stereoizer Elements, you're actually performing a number of actions simultaneously. There's a simple Mid-Sides matrix under the hood, as you might expect, but added to that are algorithms that Nugen call Interaural Time Difference (ITD) and Interaural Intensity Difference (IID). ITD takes advantage of time-of-arrival differences between the left and right channels to manipulate the listener's sense of sound localisation. It's akin to moving the mics in a spaced stereo array nearer or farther apart, but the processing is apparently much more involved than simply adding Haas delays, and is also said to be completely mono compatible.
IID, meanwhile, relies on left/right level differences for sound localisation, and is somewhat analogous to adjusting the mutual angle of a coincident mic array — although again, there's rather more to it than that. Nugen were kind enough to give SOS a demonstration of Stereoizer Elements at the virtual NAMM 2021 show, and as we understand it, the IID processor essentially creates artificial differences between the left and right difference (the Sides), while leaving the sum (Mid) intact. This approach means it's also capable of adding width to mono sources, again without compromising mono compatibility.
Absolutely none of which the user needs to know, because it's all hidden behind a single slider. All you need to do is decide how 'stereo-y' you want your audio to be, and Stereoizer Elements does the rest. It's due to go on sale imminently, for just $49, and Nugen tell us that Elements versions of a number of their other plug-ins are on the way too. | eng | c9eddc55-3b18-4359-9539-b91fc7718f06 | https://www.soundonsound.com/news/namm-2021-nugen-stereoizer-elements-announced |

Avoiding Sexism in Your Writing
September 23, 2022
No Comments
[ad_1]
What is sexism in writing? It is the assumption that people are all male or all female. Men are choosing professions that were once considered for women only, and women are branching out into professions that at one time were male-dominated. Sexism in writing can occur in several ways. In writing, using pronouns that refer to men only ignores half the population and sends the message that all humans are male.
There are ways to avoid using male pronouns that refer to both men and women in your writing and to avoid alienating 50% of the population | eng | 2fa555c2-fd0f-467a-ad8b-24be0d4863cc | https://shentharindu.com/avoiding-sexism-in-your-writing/ |

Top things you should know about Tennis
What is the ad side?
The ad side is the left side of the court with Ad being short for Advantage.
What is the deuce side?
The deuce side is the right side of the court and is where the first point of every game is played. Once you have
What is the doubles alley?
On the left and right sides of a court, you will see two lines starting at the net and going all the way back to the baseline. The space in between these two lines is referred to as the doubles alley.
If you are playing singles and you hit a ball into the doubles alley then your ball will be called out. However, if you are playing doubles the ball will be called in.
What is the baseline?
The baseline is a line at the back of a court that players must avoid hitting beyond if they don't want to lose the point. Unlike the doubles alley, the baseline applies to both doubles and singles, and any balls hit beyond the baseline are called out.
What is the Service Line?
On each side of a court, there is a horizontal line called a service line that is located half way between the net and the baseline.
If you hit beyond this line when serving then your serve will be called out.
What is a serve?
A serve is the first shot hit on every point in a match. A serve is usually hit above a player's head with the aim of either hitting an ace or forcing a weak return or error from your opponent.
Players take it in turns to serve with each player having a minimum of 4 serves per game in a match.
What is a Fault?
A fault occurs when you are serving and you fail to hit the ball within the service box e.g. hitting your serve into the net or hitting your serve beyond the service line.
If a server hits two faults in a row, they automatically lose the point. This is referred to as a double fault.
What are Groundstrokes?
Groundstrokes are shots you hit from at or behind the baseline and can involve a player hitting both forehand and backhand groundstrokes.
What is a Volley?
A volley is when you hit a ball in the air (usually close to the net) without letting the ball bounce on the court beforehand.
What is a Half Volley?
A half volley is a ball played off a very short bounce and is one of the most difficult shots to execute successfully as it requires tremendous feel on your shot.
Due to their difficulty, half volleys are considered defensive shots as you are just looking to get the ball over the net.
What is a Drive Volley?
A drive volley is a hybrid of a regular groundstroke and a volley and involves taking a much bigger swing at the ball than you would on a regular volley. It is usually hit when hitting a ball in the air from no man's land.
A Drive Volley is a very aggressive shot to hit but it is not very easy to master so you will rarely see it used at the recreational level.
What is no man's land?
No Man's Land is the area between the baseline and the service line on a court.
It is called no man's land as if you are positioned in this area you will find it very difficult to return baseline groundstrokes from your opponent and you will also be too far away from the net to hit effective volleys.
Therefore, you find yourself in no man's land, you shouldn't stay there. You should either approach the net or retreat behind the baseline as otherwise, a good opponent will be able to take advantage of your poor positioning on the court.
What is an Overhead?
When an opponent tries to hit a ball over your head, you have the option of hitting an overhead which involves hitting the ball above your head.
You can hit forehand and backhand overhands depending on which side the ball has been hit over your head.
What is a lob?
A lob is a shot hit high into the air with spin with the aim of getting the ball over the opponent so they are pushed back to the baseline.

How long do rackets last?
How long a racket will last will depend on how often you play tennis and how hard you hit the ball.
So if you are an advanced player who hits a heavy ball then you may need to replace your racket once a year.
However, if you are a beginner-intermediate player who plays occasionally and you haven't developed a full swing yet then your racket will probably last you 10 years.
How long is a changeover?
Players playing on the ATP and WTA tours are given 90 seconds at each change of ends and 2 minutes at the end of each set.
What is a junk ball?
A junk ball is a shot hit by your opponent that has very little power or spin on the ball and is designed to break up your rhythm.

Why Having Your Ears Tested Regularly Can Improve Your Mood
Hearing loss is a common condition that can be mitigated simply with the use of hearing aids and assistive listening devices. But hearing loss is often ignored and untreated. For people with hearing loss, this can bring about feelings of social-separation and depression.
It can also cause a breakdown in personal and work relationships, which itself will foster more feelings of depression and isolation. This is a vicious cycle that can be prevented, and treating your hearing loss is the key to ending that downward spiral.
Hearing loss and depression
It's true that untreated hearing loss is connected to experiencing depressive symptoms – and this isn't a new phenomenon. Adults older than 50 with untreated hearing loss often report feelings of depression and anxiety, according to one study. They were also more likely to steer clear of social activities. A lot of them had the feeling that people were getting angry at them and they didn't know why. However, people who got hearing aids reported improvements in their relationships, and those around them – family, colleagues, and friends – also said they saw improvements.
For individuals with hearing loss of more than 25 decibels, who were between 18 and 70 years old, depression was more common. Individuals over 70 with self-reported hearing loss didn't show a significant difference in depression rates compared to people without hearing loss. But there are still a great many individuals who need assistance and aren't receiving it.
Lack of awareness or unwillingness to use hearing aids affects mental health
It seems like it would be clear that you should treat your hearing loss when you read reports like this. Perhaps you simply don't think your hearing is that bad. You may think people aren't speaking clearly.
Another factor could be that you believe treating your hearing loss is too costly or time consuming.
It's important to get a hearing assessment if you feel like you are being left out of interactions or are feeling anxiety or depression. If there is hearing loss, we can talk over your options. It could help you feel a lot better | eng | 4c9cd6b2-1c04-457c-aa61-940befb782d0 | https://www.hearingaidcompany.com/hearing-test-info/getting-hearing-tested-improve-your-mood/ |

Studying in the Information Society: Experiences in a Hybrid Educational Model
Studying in the Information Society: Experiences in a Hybrid Educational Model
Yussel Salas Vazquez
ABSTRACT:
The objective of this research is to know about the learning experiences of normalist students in a hybrid educational model. This model is the result of a change in the work dynamics because of the pandemic. The research questions are: How did the features of the information society influence their learning process? How did the students experience their learning under a hybrid educational model? What barriers to learning and participation did they face in the hybrid educational model? It is qualitative in approach; the technique was focus groups and the instrument was a script of open questions. The participants were undergraduate students in inclusive education at a public Normal School in the state of Puebla, Mexico.
It is concluded that the hybrid model favored in the students the development of digital skills, self-teaching and autonomy for their learning. The barriers to learning and participation faced by the students were of a practical and cultural nature. The barriers faced by the students were attenuated or eliminated during their learning process in the hybrid educational model.
The information society represented an opportunity for the students to develop diverse cognitive skills, since their involvement in a different learning dynamic motivated them to generate strategies to favor their learning.
The experience of the bachelor's degree in inclusive education allows to identify that the hybrid educational model favored autonomous learning in the students for the achievement of learning. | eng | 01756baa-7f19-4d77-9759-1610a7b592b2 | https://www.dpublication.com/abstract-of-6th-iaceducation/5-5004/ |

Grow And Care Jade Plant
Once you have made up your mind to own a jade plant, you need to know the dos, don'ts, and care routine to ensure its health. Now, let us see how to grow and care jade plant in a Balcony garden?
Let's start by putting together a moderately deep pot or container, soil that is best suited for succulent plants, for example, cacti soil and a stem-cutting or a leaf-cutting, whichever one you decide to go with.
As mentioned earlier, the cutting needs to be kept aside for a couple of days for the callus film to form, which hardens the part that has been snipped off thereby preventing it from rotting once inserted into the soil. Application of root hormone, of course, is optional.
Next, make a hole using your finger or a pencil stick in the center of the soil in order to insert the prepared cutting. Once inserted in an upright position, firm up the soil by patting around the stem carefully.
Two things have to be noted, one is that the soil has to be of good drainage quality, and the second being that the packing of the soil should be tight enough to hold the cutting firm and erect without choking it.
In order to have a healthy and blooming Jade plant on your balcony, that occupies a place of pride in your collection, you must consider the various points that go into nurturing and caring for it –
Now, we will see how to grow and care jade plant?
Tip-1: Sunlight and temperatures
Jade plants are very sturdy and easy to keep alive. The plant requires bright and well-lit surroundings but not direct sunlight. It thrives best in indirect sun and moderate conditions.
The younger plants are more sensitive to direct sunlight Vis a Vis a fully grown Jade plant that can tolerate about four to five hours of direct sunlight in a day.
Home balconies and offices with west-facing windows make typically great spots as these positions get just enough light for the jade plant to thrive. Jade plants are happy in moderate temperatures and are intolerant to extreme cold and frost.
Avoid placing your Jade plant in a south-facing window, as it will most likely burn. Instead, it is important to look for a place where your plant will get about 3 to 5 hours of sun each day. When moving an already grown plant from its original space, ensure to move it in stages.
If you have been keeping your jade in a dark corner, but would like to move it to a brighter position, do ensure not to just pick the plant up and place it on a bright window sill.
This extreme change can likely cause the leaves of the Jade to burn and fall off because the plant is not used to bright sunlight. It is important to dread slowly when changing its positioning hence you must move the plant gradually so it has time to adjust.
You can start by moving the plant out of the dark corner to a place where it may get an hour of indirect sunshine a day. Leave it there for at least a couple of days before moving it to an area with a higher timeline of sunshine.
Keep doing this until you have got your plant to the desired location. In order to persuade your jade plant to flower keeping it healthy is a must. The cooler temperatures in the winter season too, promote blooming of their flowers.

Tip-2: Watering
To maintain good health of the Jade plant, it is imperative to water it correctly. What the word 'correctly' truly means, is to defeat the notion that watering the plant every day is good for its growth. That is untrue. Overwatering will lead to the rotting of the roots and completely defeat the purpose.
In fact, after the cutting has been potted, you need to sprinkle some water gently and leave it be for a couple of days, until the soil starts to appear dry. The Jade plant calls for your close attention.
Watch the soil carefully each day to see how much of it has dried. Only when the soil surface seems to be completely dry is when the first proper watering has to be done.
Anyway, since the potting is ideally meant to be done in the spring or summer seasons, the plant should absorb the water fairly quickly. The number of days between the waterings cannot be specified as it highly depends on the light and the temperatures of its surroundings and can vary from case to case.
Basically, the Jade plant needs to be watered more in the warm climate and less frequently when it is cold outside.
It is often recommended to water succulent plants by soaking the entire pot in a tub of water, which allows the plant to soak up the water from the bottom up. This is a rather unconventional way however quite beneficial to your Jade.
Of course, that does not mean you can't also water the plant by pouring water onto the pot through the top which is common practice.
The most important thing to remember is that you allow the excess water to drain completely from the pot and do not leave the Jade plant sitting in water. If you notice excess water, be sure to empty it from the saucer.
Water-related clogging, due to overwatering or dehydration due to under-watering can cause shriveling, browning, falling, and withering of the plants leaves.
Some of the important dos and don'ts to keep in mind while watering your Jade:
Avoid splashing water on the leaves. The leaves of the jade plant are fragile and may rot with this activity especially in humid environments
The Jade plant is sensitive to the salt content in the water. Therefore, you need to know your tap water well. In case the salt content is high in your tap water, distilled or filtered water must be used
If you notice that the jade plant is shedding its leaves or the leaves are shriveling or you tend to notice brown spots appearing on the leaves, the Jade plant is telling you that it is dehydrated. Time to water!
On the other hand, if the leaves are showing signs of becoming squishy, that is an indication that it is being overwatered

Tip-3: Soil and fertilizers
A well-drained succulent mixed soil is best, with an ideal pH level of around 6.0 which is slightly acidic. The Jade plant likes to be fed sparingly. You can use a diluted mixture of a standard house plant fertilizer or a fertilizer specifically made for the cactus plant or other succulent plants that are easily available at gardening stores or local plant nurseries.
You can also prepare at home or buy an organic fertilizer made from plant waste. Either way, even if not frequently a good fertilizer once in a while will do no harm.
Changing the soil every two to four years would give you a chance to inspect the roots for any damage, and also adding some fresh dry soil to your plant will allow it to flourish.
Tip-4: Pests and diseases
Mealybugs and fungal infections or red spiders may hide under the stem or the leaves of the Jade. Spraying water may help with this or alternatively taking some rubbing alcohol on a tissue or a cotton swab and rubbing these pests away can be an alternative.
Repeated applications will be required until the Jade plant is completely rid of these pests. In the eventuality of not being able to get rid of the pests, you will have to find one or more stems that are pest-free and replant them in order to start a new plant and bid adieu to the infected parent plant.
Powdery mildew is another problem faced by the Jade however, it is less common. When looking for bugs, look for small, fluffy, white deposits on the leaves. These are signs that your plant is bug-infested.

Tip-5: Pruning your plant
It is important to keep your plant neat and clean. This can mean little things like cleaning off any leaves that have fallen off from the plant onto the soil or pruning your Jade by removing just about anything you want.
You must avoid touching or snipping the main stem or it may kill the plant. Cutting off new growth will help the plant stay more bush-like and ensure its optimal health.
How To Plant Jade Plant
The Jade plant belongs to the Crassulaceae family and is known as Crasulla Ovata in the world of botany. This species is quite undemanding and needs minimum care. An even hand with water and plenty of light can help develop this plant to its full potential.
Given the proper conditions, the jade plant will produce small white or pink flowers in the late winter, making for an attractive and mildly fragrant display.
Jade plants may also be grown outdoors as landscape plants in areas with a mild and dry climate year-round as they are prone to damage in extremely cold weather.
How to plant (and replant) the Jade Plant?
how to plant jade plants
The first and the foremost thing to do when deciding to plant a jade plant is to choose a wide and hard sitting pot with moderate depth as the jade has a tendency to grow top-heavy and then tends to fall over.
It is important to use soil that will drain thoroughly, as water-clogging will cause fungal diseases and rotting of the roots and that would be rather damaging to the plant.
The best bet would be an all-purpose potting mix in which additional perlite can be mixed to improve the drainage process. Another option is to use a pre-made succulent or cacti-potting mix.
Care has to be taken that no water is provided to the jade plant immediately after the planting. It takes several days for the roots to adjust and recover from any damage caused during the replanting process so you must wait for the roots to settle before the first watering is done.
The sturdiness of the jade plant gives you the option of growing it straight from its stem cutting or even from its leaf. Another way of growing the Jade plant is in water, however, this is a lesser followed option.
Let us take a look at how these methods work:
Read How to Trim a Ficus Tree
Planting the Jade Plant using its stem cutting
The first step is to choose a stem cutting preferably from a large, blooming Jade plant. It is advisable to choose a thick stem with healthy, green leaves.
Using a sharp and clean pair of scissors, you must snip off a stem however ensuring that a minimum of 2 to 3 inches gap remains between the chosen stem and the leaves of the plant itself. By doing so, you ensure that no leaves have to be removed while snipping off your chosen stem.
Once snipped off the mother plant, the stem must be left aside in a warm and dry place for several days in order to dry out and a callus film to form over the cut area.
This helps in keeping the baby Jade plant healthy with no rotting taking place while it is forming its roots under the soil.
It is to be noted that the larger the cutting, the more time this process would take. The weather too plays a major role in determining the time frame. It might take a longer period of time if the planting is happening in the winter season Vis a Vis in the summer months.
Although optional, applying a rooting tonic or a rooting hormone helps the stem cuttings to grow well. Rooting hormones can be made at home using honey and cinnamon powder.
The Rooting hormone needs to be applied directly to the stem just before placing it into the soil for planting. Even if you wish to skip this step, the Jade plant has enough ability to root successfully on its own.

Planting the Jade using its leaf cutting
Like the stem cuttings, the Jade plants leaf cuttings are easy to propagate as well. All you have to do is to take a bunch of Jade plant leaves, either by cutting or twisting them off the stem or by simply picking the ones that have naturally fallen and rooting them in the well-prepared soil that is suited for the Jade plants.
It is amazing how easily the leaves dislodge from the parent plant and root to grow into beautiful plants themselves.
Like in the case of the stem cutting, the leaf too should be allowed to sit aside in a dry area, away from direct sunlight for at least 3 to 5 days before you start the potting process.
This will allow the cut end of the leaves to dry and form a callus film that will prevent it from rotting once inserted into the soil.
Please note, that it is the pointy end of the leaf that is inserted into the already prepared soil.
Once the potting is complete, ensure that the jade plant leaf is kept away from direct sunlight until the roots start to appear. Direct sunlight will dry out the leaves and hence they will shrivel far before the roots have a chance to form.
Once the leaf is inserted into pot, you can gently spray water on the leaf cuttings and hereon forward, only water when the soil begins to appear really dry.
The new leaves sprouting from the tip of the jade plant is a clear indication that the potting has been successful and that the roots have formed well.
What is the correct soil to be used?
The correct soil is definitely not regular potting soil. Regular potting soil is rather too heavy for the Jade plant to form roots in. Instead, in a moderately deep container, you need to fill either soil made specifically for succulent plants or a mixture of sand, perlite, and compost.
A handful of sand is added to provide better drainage as the Jade plant needs soil that drains very well.
With all the preparations in place, use your finger or a pencil to make a hole in the soil where the stem cutting will be inserted. The stem must be placed deep enough for the soil to support the stem and for the plant to be able to stand on its own.
Once this is done, pack the soil loosely around the stem as making the soil too tight might affect the water drainage.
Once the plant has been firmly potted, you need to find a moderately sunny spot on your balcony garden or the garden. Direct sunlight is detrimental to the plant as that could burn its leaves.
It can take up to three or four weeks for the new growth to shoot and be visible on top of the plant.
Selecting the correct pot or container
jade plant planting
In terms of the container used to pot a Jade, a moderately deep clay holder is preferable to a plastic one. It is a universal must to have drainage holes at the bottom of the pot to ensure proper drainage of the water. In case a saucer is placed under the pot it needs to be emptied regularly.
The size of the pot is completely at one's discretion all depending on the size of the stem cutting and how big a plant do you really want.
Adding rocks to the bottom of the plant pot helps with the drainage process of the water and also gives support to the pot, the soil, and the stem.

Can a Jade plant grow in water?
Although there are many varying opinions on this particular method of growing the Jade plant, the possibility exists and you can definitely explore it.
Start by dissolving two commonly used mild aspirin tablets in a liter of water. Pour this mixture into your chosen container and follow the steps of the previous methods of cutting the stem and letting it dry for a while in order to form the callus film.
This delay will harden the end of the stem and prevent it from rotting underwater. Carefully add the cutting into the water, with correct support so that the stem remains in an upright position and the cut part is submerged in the aspirin-infused water. The aspirin will keep the water clear while providing extra root stimulation.
In this method too, the plant needs to be kept in bright light but not direct sunlight. Soon you will notice the roots forming underwater and then you have a choice whether to continue growing your plant in the water or move the plant into a pot with appropriate soil.
Not everyone will agree with this method as it is a common belief that too much water makes the roots rot. However, the truth is that roots that form in water are less likely to rot.
The most important step to remember in this method is to continue changing the water periodically so that it remains clean and making sure the water is not too warm. This ensures the health of the roots.
Conclusion
No matter what type of Jade plant you decide to add to your garden or balcony, they all promote good luck and good fortune and are definite must-haves for all plant lovers around the world.
If you decide to re-pot the roots that are formed during this water method, you must tread carefully and gently as these roots are more brittle in nature and easily susceptible to damage.
Jade plants make for excellent house plants because they are durable, can go on for long periods without being watered, and when they get ideal conditions also flower.
Jade plants also make good candidates for indoor bonsai cultivation. There are several Jade plant varieties and cultivars that you can find at garden centers and plant nurseries, and they are all as easy to propagate | eng | 8f54bc64-87d9-413b-87c7-ad123a5c1bbe | https://gardeningelsa.com/jade-plants/ |

The History of Homeownership in the United States
In the United States, Homeownership has always been an important part of the American Dream. For many Americans, it is a symbol of success and stability. Homeownership rates in the United States have fluctuated over the years, but have generally remained high. In recent years, there has been a slight decline in homeownership rates.
The history of homeownership in the United States is long and complicated. It begins with the Native Americans, who were the first to live on the land that is now known as the United States. The Native Americans had a very different concept of ownership than we do today. They believed that the land belonged to everyone and could be used by anyone. This changed when the Europeans arrived and began settling on the land.
The Europeans brought with them a different concept of ownership. They believed that land could be owned by individuals and passed down through families. This concept of ownership led to conflicts between the Native Americans and the settlers. The settlers frequently took land from the Native Americans without compensation. This often led to violence between the two groups.
As more and more settlers arrived in what is now known as the United States, they continued to take land from the Native Americans. This eventually led to warfare between the two groups. The most famous example of this is probably the American Indian Wars, which were a series of wars fought betweenNative Americans and European settlers (and later,the US government). These wars resulted in large numbersof Native Americans being
The Benefits of Homeownership
Deciding whether to rent or buy a home is one of the biggest financial decisions you'll make. There are pros and cons to both choices, but ultimately the decision comes down to what's best for your individual situation.
If you're on the fence about whether homeownership is right for you, consider the following benefits:
1. The possibility of building equity. When you rent, you're essentially paying someone else's mortgage. But when you own a home, your monthly payments go toward building equity – which can come in handy if you ever need to sell or refinance.
2. Tax breaks. The IRS allows homeowners to deduct certain expenses related to their home, like mortgage interest and property taxes. This can save you a significant amount of money at tax time.
3. More stability. Rent prices can go up (and sometimes down) at the whims of your landlord. But once you buy a home, your monthly mortgage payment is fixed for the life of the loan (barring any unforeseen circumstances). This makes budgeting a lot easier and gives you peace of mind knowing that your housing costs won't fluctuate wildly month-to-month.
4. Pride of ownership. When you own a home, it's yours to do with as you please – within reason, of course! You can paint the walls, put up shelving, or make any other changes that
Tips for First-Time Homebuyers
Assuming you're a first-time homebuyer, the process of purchasing a home can be both exciting and overwhelming. To help make the experience as smooth as possible, we've compiled a list of tips specifically for first-time homebuyers:
1. Get pre-approved for a mortgage: This is an important first step in the homebuying process. By getting pre-approved, you'll know exactly how much you can afford to spend on a home. In addition, being pre-approved will give you an edge over other buyers who are not pre-approved when making offers on homes.
2. Do your research: The second tip is to do your research. There are numerous resources available to help educate first-time homebuyers about the process and what to expect. Utilize these resources to learn as much as you can before moving forward with purchasing a home.
3. Work with a real estate agent: A real estate agent will be able to guide you through the entire process from start to finish. They can also offer valuable insights and advice based on their experience helping other buyers purchase homes.
4. Make sure you're comfortable with the neighborhood: Before making an offer on any particular property, be sure to do some research on the surrounding area. You'll want to make sure that you're comfortable with the neighborhood before making such a large investment.
5. Have realistic expectations: Last but not least, it's important

hm, couldn't find an obvious location within the source of os-autoinst or openQA where the asset path would be "overwritten" but I guess when you can reproduce the issue with a local openQA instance you can easily check where the path replacement is done. Maybe put in some print-debugging to see the intermediate state of the variables.
So I went with the revert path - should have done that earlier -, which will refrain people from using the dynamic test scheduling on production (i.e: workers with caching enabled), but will allow this to work again.
Gonna set it to feedback for now, there was a deploy 13 days ago, and also if the x86_64 scenario passed, there's no reason for this to be the same issue, likely a missing update on the worker or something similar. There seems to be bsc#1129409 affecting the parent job for SLE-15 scenario, so no verification can be done for the time being on the autoyast_reinstall scenario, so likely just monitor the latest job | eng | 141b5577-1745-48d6-8710-7846da65feb1 | https://progress.opensuse.org/issues/46094 |

Caitlin was silent when tens of thousands of civilians were killed by Putin in Mariupol. She was silent when hundreds of thousands (including 5000 Palestinians) were being slaughtered by the Asad regime in Syria. She justified the treatment of Uyghurs by the Chinese government. But now she writes 1000 word essays about Israel's war on Hamas. Where were all these 100,000s of people who scream "free Palestine" were when 100x more people were being killed (and in fact continue to be killed, in Ukraine, Syria, Yemen, etc.)? Could it be that they're truely so concerned about the lives of Palestinians? (Although were completely silent when Asad was starving and bombing Palestinians in Yarmouk?) Give me a break.

What is ceasarean surgery?
A caesarean surgery, also known as a C-section, is a surgical procedure used to deliver a new baby through incisions made through abdomen and uterus. These c-section incisions are typically done when a vaginal birth would put the mother or the baby's health at risk or when a vaginal delivery is not possible or advisable. Caesarean surgeries can be planned in advance (elective) or done in an emergency situation. They are considered major surgeries and carry some risks, including infection, bleeding, and blood clots. However, they can also be life-saving for both mother and baby in certain situations.

There's a lot that goes into determining the likelihood your baby (or babies) will be born via caesarean surgery. There has been a big drive to lower the rates of caesarean sections in many Western countries, and to raise the rates (by way of increasing access to quality medical care) in modernising countries around the globe.
From individual-to-individual, the factors determining chances of caesarean delivery can fall under a few categories:
Health risk
Hospital vs home or birth centre birth
Midwife vs Obstetrician care
Independent community midwife vs hospital-based midwife
VBAC or multiples pregnancy
Insurance type
Level of prenatal care
Emergency circumstance
Care provider preference
Maternal preference
Some of these factors are things to prepare for, but many aren't down to preference and choice. Caesarean births are common and necessary in several circumstances. There is no one "right" way to bring a baby into the world, that's for sure.
Honestly, the evidence is mixed on this issue.
There is no way to bring your chances down to zero, and there's good reason for that. Caesarean surgery whilst a major abdominal surgery is a literal life-saver for many. When it comes to having a c-section for safety, it is wonderful that it exists and is constantly getting safer.
In terms of lowering your chances of having a caesarean, there is good evidence to suggest that having a trained support person — like a doula — at your birth makes a big difference. It is still your birth and many things can happen in it, so they can't guarantee a reduction in likelihood you will give birth vaginally, but they can help you advocate for yourself in any birth scenario.
Roughly 26% of births in the UK are via cesarean. That's roughly the average for a European country. The cesarean section rate is 33% in the United States and Australia. There are countries where that rate is significantly higher or significantly lower.
Rates may vary depending on the specific hospital, region, or demographic group. According to a study published in the journal BMJ Open in 2020, black and Asian women in the UK were more likely to have a cesarean delivery than white women. While the overall caesarean rate was 26.2%, but the rates were higher for certain groups:
Black women had the highest caesarean rate at 32.8%.
Asian women had the second highest rate at 27.5%.
White women had the lowest rate at 24.4%.
The same is true in the US. According to a report from the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) published in 2020, the overall rate of caesarean delivery in the US was 31.7% in 2019, but the rates were higher for certain groups:
Non-Hispanic black women had the highest caesarean rate at 34.1%.
Non-Hispanic white women had a caesarean rate of 31.6%.
Hispanic women had a caesarean rate of 31.2%.
Asian or Pacific Islander women had the lowest caesarean rate at 27.3%
Recovering from a caesarean delivery takes time and varies from person to person. This is due to factors such as: the type of delivery, the woman's overall health, and whether there were any complications during or after the surgery.
Some common aspects of healing from a c-section:
Pain: It is common to experience some pain and discomfort after a cesarean birth. This is often managed with pain medications prescribed by your doctor or midwife.
Activity: Most mums are encouraged to rest and limit their physical activity for the first few weeks after a c-section. However, it is important to get up and move around as soon as possible to prevent high blood pressure, blood clots and speed up recovery.
Incision care: The incision site will need to be kept clean and dry to prevent infection. Your care provider will provide instructions on how to care for the incision site.
Breastfeeding: You can still breastfeed your baby after a caesarean if you choose, but you may need to try different positions to find one that is comfortable and does not put pressure on your incision.
Emotional recovery: Some mums experience a range of emotions after a c-section like sadness, disappointment, or anxiety. This can happen while feeling grateful for having access to this sort of care or even electing to have a planned c-section. All birth recovery has emotional ups and downs. It's okay to seek support if you're having a hard time coping with your caesarean recovery or any other healing in postpartum.
Caesareans are common and largely safe, but they are still major surgeries. From the recovery room to home life post childbirth the following are some basic guidelines for taking care of yourself after a c-section birth.
Do's after a cesarean:
Follow the instructions from your health care provider around pain relief, caring for your incision and managing discomfort. If there are signs that something is off, reach out to them.
Rest as much as possible in the first few weeks, but balance that with moderate activity. Moving helps with overall healing and preventing blood clots.
Drink plenty of water or other hydrating liquids like bone broth or coconut water.
Eat a healthy diet with plenty of protein, iron, and other nutrients to support healing.
Don'ts after a caesarean:
Don'ts:
Lift anything heavier than your baby, as this can put strain on your incision and slow down your recovery.
Take baths or swim for several weeks. Soaking in water can increase the risk of infection.
Drive until you are able to move around without discomfort and can react quickly if needed.
Neglect your emotional and mental health! Seek support from loved ones and professionals as soon as you feel you need it.
After giving birth via caesarean section, it is important to take proper care of your body while resuming exercise. Here are some important things for new mothers to consider in your postpartum period:
Time is your friend: Typically, you will need to wait 6-8 weeks after your caesarean surgery to resume harder physical activities. You can walk as soon as you are able and move around as much as feels right. However, more extensive postpartum exercise should wait till after you've had your follow-up appointment at 6 weeks.
Start slowly: Even if you were in good shape before your pregnancy, you need to start slowly and gradually increase the intensity and duration of your exercise routine. Your body has been through a major surgery, and it needs time to heal.
Listen to your body: It is important to listen to your body and stop exercising if you feel any c-section pain, discomfort, or fatigue. If something doesn't feel right, it's best to stop and talk to your doctor
Remember that everyone's recovery after a C-section is different, so it's important to take things at your own pace and not compare yourself to others. By taking care of your body, you can safely and gradually get back to functional movement and beyond. | eng | b291a5a6-129a-474b-951a-2182b65d1863 | https://mutusystem.com/en-us/c-section/ |
PLEASANTON, Calif. (KRON) — When six students from Foothill High School's engineering class were sent home from school because of the COVID-19 outbreak, the teens thought … what do we do now? The group seniors and juniors decided that they wanted to help their community in a potentially life-saving way.
Growing up near Silicon Valley, this group of 16 and 17 year olds doesn't think much of already having their own startup, Nize Systems. And when the coronavirus arrived, the teens combined their techie minds to design a very impressive COVID-19 tracking and resource website for the San Francisco Bay Area.
One of the students, Kishore Hariharan, told KRON4, "Our project began when our district decided to close schools and move to a remote learning system. During these difficult times, we wanted to help the Bay Area however we could, so with all this extra time on our hands, we decided to come up with a solution that provides our community with the tools and resources to stay up to date on the situation. We started off six weeks ago with a simple idea in mind that eventually became what it is now."

"We've received feedback from the community which has helped us and made it possible to make the website as user-friendly as possible. We all know each other from the engineering and computer science classes in Foothill, which made it possible for us to come together and make something that helps the people in our community. Specifically, teachers like Mr. Johnson and Mr. Friesen have allowed us to use their classrooms to collaborate during the school year, and Mr. Johnson has been in contact with us giving feedback," Hariharan said.
"Currently, BACT (Bay Area COVID-19 Tracker) focuses its efforts in not only tracking cases related to the COVID-19 pandemic but bringing the end-user the necessary resources to stay safe during these times. What sets BACT apart from other trackers is our focus on the San Francisco Bay Area itself. Instead of providing users with lots of generalized information, we wanted to cut through that and make it more applicable to our community. We're currently working additional features such as: displaying overall trends, community announcements, and shortage tracking," he said.

How to Build Python Chatbot with Rasa
In this Python ChatBot article we want to learn How to Build Python Chatbot with Rasa, so Chatbots are computer programs designed to simulate human conversation. they are becoming increasingly popular in customer service, ecommerce and other industries. building chatbot may seem like hard task, but with the right tools and a little bit of Python knowledge, it can be done quickly and easily. in this article we are going to learn building simple chatbot using Python and Rasa.
What is Rasa?
Rasa is an open source framework that allows you to build intelligent chatbots that can understand natural language and respond accordingly. it uses machine learning and natural language processing (NLP) to interpret user messages and generate appropriate responses.
So first of we need to install these libraries and we can use pip for the installation.
1
pip install rasa
After installation you need to create new rasa Project, and you can use rasa init command in your terminal, after rasa init you will see this output in your terminal, and also i have not trained the model right, because when you are creating your Rasa project, it will ask you for model training, I have chosen No.
message=f"The weather in {city} is {description} and the temperature is {temperature_celsius}°C."
dispatcher.utter_message(text=message)
return[]
This is Python code defining an action called "ActionWeather" for Rasa chatbot.
action is triggered when the intent and the entity city are detected in the user's message. it uses tracker object to get the value of the city entity, which represents name of city.
after that the code processes the information by using an API to get weather information for the specified city , and finally responds with message about the weather in the city using the "dispatcher.utter_message" method.
The "return []" statement at the end of the "run" method returns an empty list of events, which means that no further events will be executed after this action.
After that we need to define story that describes the conversation flow between the user and our chatbot. open the stories.yml file in the data directory and replace the contents with the following code:
# use_ssl: <whether or not the communication is encrypted, default false>
#tracker_store:
# type: mongod
# url: <url to your mongo instance, e.g. mongodb://localhost:27017>
# db: <name of the db within your mongo instance, e.g. rasa>
# username: <username used for authentication>
# password: <password used for authentication>
# Event broker which all conversation events should be streamed to.
#
#event_broker:
# url: localhost
# username: username
# password: password
# queue: queue
endpoints.yml is configuration file used by Rasa to define different endpoints that our bot can use. it includes endpoints for different components of bot such as server where the models are stored, server which runs custom actions, tracker store which is used to store conversations and the event broker which streams conversation events.
In our case we have added an action_endpoint to the file, which specifies the URL where our custom actions are hosted | eng | 49102b9c-e06e-4fe3-9ee0-ac8aaa7a32e8 | https://geekscoders.com/how-to-build-python-chatbot-with-rasa/ |
It's a legitimate question that I believe deserves a more direct response - you know for transparency. To clarify, you were being sarcastic with your response.....right?
If one were to spend, nay invest, their time in learning a strategy some sort of track record of said strategy over time would be useful to assure them that it's not a waste of time. For what it's worth the Forex industry is filled with a lot of fake gurus, scams, etc and it's not a bad thing to not want to be caught in one. Due diligence is good.Yes please post your myfxbook results.
Put in the efforts. Whether you want to share the results or not is upto you.

Hunger in America
Hunger in America can be hard to recognize. With how the economy is now, the effects of hunger are more severe. Many Americans are relying on food stamps and private organizations to help with this crisis. Millions in this nation are currently suffering from hunger in America. Half of that being from job loss. More than 12,000,000 children suffer from food insecure hunger because of limited or uncertain access to nutritious food. About 900,000 are hungry in the three- country Detroit metropolitan area alone. The hardest hits are the elderly, the unemployed, immigrants, and the mentally and physically impaired. Many people may think it's not a problem. They think because it's not currently happening to them, it doesn't happen at all. It's important for everybody to know the truth. They need to know how many are actually going hungry and not being able to feed their family. Also, the government needs to help more Americans survive. Poor nutrition, health, and federal assistance are all examples of this. In addition to this, poor nutrition is a key factor in health problems. Many people continue to suffer during this crisis. Most even when the economy improves and Americans go back to work. But they can't do it alone. "I don't see swollen bellies, but I do see lassitude, a lack of bright eyes and shiny hair" (Stark).

"In 2009, it was estimated that more than 1.02 billion people do not have enough to eat - more than the populations of USA, Canada and the European Union combined. That means one in nearly six people do not get enough food to be healthy and lead an active life". ( World Food Programme, 2010). World hunger is one of the biggest problems that our world faces. Each year, almost 11 million children die before reaching the age of five; malnutrition is associated with 53 percent of these deaths (source: Caulfield et al., The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition. 2004 July). Today one in seven people are hungry; don't get the right amount of food necessary for a healthy living and that is why today malnutrition is the first ranked risk to health worldwide.

Every day after the bells ring, the sound of the pupils' footsteps filing out of their classrooms is heard. This is the favorite time of the day: Lunch time. The children bring their lunch trays and boxes onto the tables and begin to eat. However, after they are finished, the serving bowls and plastic are not the only things found in the trash cans. Burgers that have one bite taken from them and food that has not even been touched at all littler the bottom of the contraption. Then after lunch, the students make their projects about people in the US who are in starvation. Every day, just in our own country, 46.9 million people are starving daily. We need to change this. America is the top nation in many things: It is the top in weaponry, abundance bills that are pointless like ACTA, and the most amount of food ending in the dumps. The best routine the world must take to solve this distressing problem is by creating a more organized and more efficient food producing the food in poverty areas, stop wasting the food, and by actually facing the problem by taking action.…
