fineweb_00000301 | fineweb | Mark Zuckerberg started his multi billion dollars’ worth venture with a vision of bringing the world together to be well-connected and communicated. Though his vision has seen development and expansion as very few visions do, yet his famous business venture has come to a halt for some time as it had seen its apex or had seen what some ordinary minds thought its apex was, but Mark is no ordinary human being for no ordinary mind can achieve such success and glory at such a young age.
No one can possibly exaggerate the importance and value Facebook has made for itself over the past few years in our lives. Overlooking its other so many uses and applications in our lives we can summarize it to its prime purpose, which actually was its inception, to connect. It indeed is performing this task with supreme efficiency as it can boast of an amazing number of 1.44 billion people as its active users monthly.
As hinted already in the beginning we are going to talk about a breakthrough in the world of telecommunication, internet and communication which is actually a feat to be accredited to Facebook and Mark Zuckerberg’ s vision of bringing the people together on a platform on which they can interact well.
Optimists say that every third person is connected through internet and can go online. Opportunists on the other hands say that why not grab those other two third too. Now people may call me harsh on calling them opportunists rather than philanthropists but that’s how I see it and as it’s my blog so I’m going to write what I want. So, how are we going to do that? How are we getting those two-thirds online? The answer to that is another question. Why are those two-thirds of the world population not on the internet? We have simple answers to this question. Because the data packets are expensive for the people. Networks are not supportive or perhaps mobile networks are not as many as the demand requires. Of course if internet access becomes a choice to be made out of monthly ration supplies or medical expenditures, then it would be a luxury not many can afford, but what if someone turns this luxury into a need that they facilitate the people with, totally free. This is going to mark a leap that is going to plunge us deep into the future years ahead, where everyone can be considered connected with everyone. This is what Facebook has initiated and done for us.
Now the question may pop up in your mind that then how are things going to work if we are paying no money? I mean this world runs on money. If you are not paying for it then who is? So the answer to this is yes, it is being paid for, by the content provider which in our case is Facebook. Facebook started some time ago and by now it has partnered with telecom companies of Indonesia, Ghana, Zambia, Bangladesh and many more.
Now, iternet.org comes to Pakistan. Coming to Pakistan Facebook chose Telenor for collaboration for its “internet.org” initiative. It makes Pakistan the sixth country on the list of countries with this enterprise. The list extends to a 100. In an event attended by the top posts of Telenor and representatives from Facebook, internet.org was launched with access to 17 websites. Telenor high officials like the CEO Michael Foley, Deputy CEO Irfan Wahab and Vice President Aslam Hayat were present at the event which convinces one of the importance of this initiative for everyone including the telecom company. It is important here to mention the websites available for use to the users of this service.

As internet.org comes to Pakistan, this service has indeed given Telenor a new showpiece to display in their showcase and its customers something unique from others, but the officials at telenor say that it’s not a business proposition. Rather it’s a way to get more people to get connected with each other.
Michael Foley’s words at the auspicious occasion were, “We are delighted to introduce the Internet.org initiative in Pakistan today with a host of useful online services including health, education, finance, news, information and job portals etc. for our millions of customers all over the country. This will provide them with greater access to relevant local and international content.”
Telenor customers are though very delighted with this attractive and exciting service yet seem irritated by the fact that this service allows you just these websites (listed above) whereas the beauty of the internet is its limitlessness. This service is gaining appreciation all over the country and people are loving it. Let’s hope Facebook and telecom companies keep bringing us good stuff like this. |

fineweb_00000303 | fineweb | An old prospector shuffled into town leading an old tired mule. The old man headed straight for the only saloon in town, to clear his parched throat. He walked up to the saloon and tied his old mule to the hitch rail. As he stood there, brushing some of the dust from his face and clothes, a young gunslinger stepped out of the saloon with a gun in one hand and a bottle of whiskey in the other. The young gunslinger looked at the old man and laughed, saying, "Hey old man, have you ever danced?" The old man looked up at the gunslinger and said, "No, I never did dance... never really wanted to." A crowd had gathered as the gunslinger grinned and said, "Well, you old fool, you're gonna' dance now," and started shooting at the old man's feet. The old prospector, not wanting to get a toe blown off, started hopping around like a flea on a hot skillet. Everybody was laughing, fit to be tied. When his last bullet had been fired, the young gunslinger, still laughing, holstered his gun and turned around to go back into the saloon. The old man turned to his pack mule, pulled out a double-barreled shotgun, and cocked both hammers. The loud clicks carried clearly through the desert air. The crowd stopped laughing immediately. The young gunslinger heard the sounds too, and he turned around very slowly. The silence was almost deafening. The crowd watched as the young gunman stared at the old timer and the large gaping holes of those twin barrels. The barrels of the shotgun never wavered in the old man's hands, as he quietly said, "Son, have you ever kissed a mule's ass?" |
What a classic tale! I love the way the old prospector outsmarts the young gunslinger with his clever response. It's a great reminder that age and experience can be just as valuable as youth and bravado.
The image of the old man hopping around to avoid getting shot at is just priceless, and the crowd's laughter is infectious. But then, the tables turn, and the old man's calm and collected demeanor is a stark contrast to the young gunslinger's sudden unease.
The punchline about kissing a mule's ass is just brilliant. It's a clever way to turn the tables and show that the old man is not to be underestimated. I can just imagine the young gunslinger's face turning bright red as he realizes he's been outsmarted.
This story is a great reminder that wisdom, experience, and a little bit of humor can be just as powerful as a gun. Thanks for sharing it! |

It is located within natural park Strandja very close to Sinemorets One of the most picturesque and beautiful places on the south Black Sea coast. It encompasses an area of 1511.2 ha around the mouth of Veleka River and the lower part of its catchment basin. It protects the valley of Veleka River, the nearly 500 m long sand split between the river mouth and the Black Sea coast. The split is several dozens of meters wide, which changes according to season and weather conditions. Often during winter and spring it is covered in flood waters from Veleka River. Interesting communities of rare plant species such as cottonweed, woundwort, sea carrot, coastal umbrell, etc. can be found here. On the river you can see the endangered species yellow water-rose (Burduche).
Over the protected area passes the European “highway” for birds – the migratory route Via Pontica. Outside the nesting season, here there are birds which use the wetland for wintering or resting during their flight such as small and large grebes, common cormorants, shags (a globally endangered species), and mute swans. Other bird species can be seen only in the sea near the coast – black-necked grebe, shags, red-crested pochard, shelduck, several species of gulls, etc.
There are 32 species of fish in Veleka River, 7 of which are included in the Red Book of Bulgaria – eel, carp, kutum, rainbow fish, three-spined stickleback, etc.
The protected area is part of Natural Park Strandja and also of Veleka – Rezovska rivers. It is defined as a priority wetland of national importance. The area is also part of the protected zone “Strandja” under the European Union Birds Directive from Natura 2000 network.
Conservationists are making great efforts for the protection of the area of mass construction. There are serious investor interest in this area, which is one of the last undeveloped corners of wilderness in southern Bulgarian Black Sea coast.
Popular tourist places to visit in the protected area are:
|Popular places for panoramic pictures of the mouth of the river. It can be reached in a few minutes on foot if on the left of the entrance
to the village, you take the trail leading to the popular crooked tree, distorted by strong winds, on the hill above the river. This spot reveals a beautiful view of the split, the mouth of the river, the beach to the northeast, and the green hills of Strandja to the northwest.
A walk along the sand split to the mouth of the river, good seasons – summer and autumn. Sometimes in spring the sand split is hard to reach because of the high waves and the disappearance of a small part of the beach under water (at the beginning of the sand split), as well as because of the large river spills. In good weather it can be reached easily on foot, going down a path to the beach in the northeastern part of the village (at the end of the last street).
A boat trip on the upper and lower reaches of the river – starts from the pier on the river on the right side, immediately after the bridge across the river before Sinemorets. The boat trip upstream gets to “Tzarskoto kladenche (well)” area
The pier below the bridge across Veleka River is also a suitable place for picnicking – there is a shelter which can seat 8 people and there is also a fireplace.
A walking geological route Ahtopol – the mouth of Veleka River. It takes about 2 hours. It starts from the port of Ahtopol or from the south end of the town and goes south following the beach curves, along the rocky hills above the beach. There are slight climbs followed by slight descents above the quiet bays. In May the hills are dotted with several species of orchids and many wild flowers. The trail gets to an observation area on the rocks above the mouth of Veleka River which reveals
beautiful panoramas. This is the end point of the route. There are two ways of going back to Ahtopol. One is to backtrack, and the other is to continue walking southwest, up along the river, and get to the bridge across Veleka, where you can take the asphalt road. |
The protected area of Veleka River Mouth is a unique and beautiful spot located in the Strandja Natural Park, near the village of Sinemorets, Bulgaria. The area is known for its stunning natural beauty, with a 500-meter-long sand spit, a nearly 500-meter-wide river mouth, and a variety of rare plant species.
The area is also an important habitat for many bird species, including the endangered yellow water-rose and the globally endangered shags. The river itself is home to 32 species of fish, including several species listed in the Red Book of Bulgaria.
The protected area is part of the Natura 2000 network and is considered a priority wetland of national importance. However, it is under threat from mass construction and development, which is why conservation efforts are necessary to protect this unique and valuable ecosystem.
Visitors to the area can enjoy a variety of activities, including hiking, birdwatching, and boat trips along the river. There are also several popular tourist spots, including the crooked tree, the sand spit, and the pier below the bridge across Veleka River.
Some popular places to visit in the protected area include:

fineweb_00000309 | fineweb | I have the following problem:
When I run the Makefile given below using the command
nohup make seven
and close the xterm in which I started this command, I find the
following output in my nohup.out:
make: *** [one] Hangup
When I try the same with a shell script that just echoes hello
and then waits for a second, it works.
My configuration: SuSE Linux 7.1, make 3.79.1, nohup 2.0, kernel 2.4.2-SMP.
Strangely, it works on the following configuration:
SuSE 6.4, make 3.78.1, nohup 2.0, kernel 2.2.14-SMP.
Can anybody help?
Thanks in advance
PROCESSES = one two three four five six seven |
The problem you're experiencing is due to the way `nohup` handles the terminal. When you run a command with `nohup`, it forks a new process and detaches it from the terminal. However, if the command itself forks new processes (like `make` does), the parent process of the forked process is still attached to the terminal. When you close the xterm, the parent process is sent a `SIGHUP` signal, which causes `make` to exit with a status code of 1.
To fix this issue, you can use the `-k` option with `make` to continue even if a command fails. You can also use the `set` command to ignore `SIGHUP` signals before running `make`. Here's an example:
```makefile
set -i
make -k seven
```
This will tell `make` to continue even if a command fails, and `set -i` will ignore `SIGHUP` signals.
Alternatively, you can use `screen` or `tmux` to run your command. These tools allow you to detach from the terminal and reattach later, without affecting the running process.
```bash
screen -d -m make seven
```
This will run `make seven` in a new screen session, detach from the terminal, and allow you to reattach later using `screen -r`. |

Whoa! He shouldn't necessarily add separate paging spaces on different disks.
It really depends on what his machine does. This could*his performance
all up with added disk I/O. If it's a database machine, he'll be done for. If
not, it should work okay, but adding more paging spaces 'willy-nilly' is just a
bad idea. It should be planned accordingly. He may only need to increase the
existing paging space. Also, the "rule-o-thumb" for paging spaces is:
total paging space = 512MB + (memory size - 256MB) * 1.25
Separate paging spaces should be of equal size, if possible, for the
round-robin algorithm. The primary paging space can be a bit larger, though,
with no ill effects. In fact, it should be a scosh larger for booting

Robert Kennedy's wisdom is always appreciated!
You're absolutely right. Adding multiple small paging spaces on different disks can indeed lead to performance issues, especially if the machine is already I/O-bound. The "rule of thumb" for calculating the total paging space size is a good guideline, and it's generally recommended to increase the existing primary paging space rather than adding new ones.
In this case, since the machine is already running with 320MB of memory and the primary paging space is 352MB, adding 256MB of RAM would likely require an increase in the primary paging space. A good starting point could be to calculate the new total paging space size using the formula:
total paging space = 512MB + (new memory size - 256MB) * 1.25
For example, if the new memory size is 576MB (320MB + 256MB), the calculation would be:
total paging space = 512MB + (576MB - 256MB) * 1.25 = 768MB
So, in this case, increasing the primary paging space to around 768MB could be a good starting point. However, it's always a good idea to monitor the system's performance and adjust the paging space size accordingly.
Thanks for sharing Robert Kennedy's wisdom, and I'm glad we could have this discussion! |

The Telecommunications Service Provider Journey – From Telco to TechcoBy Anthony Behan | Thursday, March 24, 2022 |
**The Telecommunications Service Provider Journey – From Telco to Techco**
As the telecommunications industry continues to evolve, service providers are facing unprecedented challenges. The rise of 5G, IoT, and cloud computing has created new opportunities for growth, but also increased competition and complexity. To stay ahead of the curve, telecommunications service providers (telcos) are transforming themselves into tech companies (techcos).
In this article, we'll explore the journey of telcos transforming into techcos, the challenges they face, and the opportunities that arise from this transformation.
**The Challenges**
1. **Competition**: The rise of OTT (over-the-top) players, such as Netflix and Amazon Prime, has disrupted traditional revenue streams. Telcos must adapt to this new competitive landscape.
2. **Digitalization**: The increasing demand for digital services, such as streaming and online gaming, requires telcos to invest in digital infrastructure and capabilities.
3. **5G and IoT**: The rollout of 5G and the growth of IoT devices create new opportunities for telcos, but also require significant investments in network infrastructure and data analytics.
4. **Cybersecurity**: As telcos expand their digital presence, they must ensure the security of their networks, data, and customers.
**The Opportunities**
1. **New Revenue Streams**: By offering digital services, such as cloud computing, data analytics, and cybersecurity, telcos can create new revenue streams.
2. **Increased Customer Engagement**: Digital services enable telcos to engage with customers in new ways, fostering loyalty and retention.
3. **Improved Operational Efficiency**: Digitalization and automation can streamline operations, reducing costs and improving customer satisfaction.
4. **Innovation**: The techco transformation allows telcos to leverage the latest technologies, such as AI, machine learning, and blockchain, to drive innovation and stay ahead of the competition.
**The Journey**
The transformation from telco to techco is a complex and ongoing process. Here are the key steps:
1. **Assess and Prioritize**: Identify areas of the business that require transformation, such as digitalization, cybersecurity, and data analytics.
2. **Invest in Digital Infrastructure**: Upgrade network infrastructure, data centers, and cloud capabilities to support digital services.
3. **Develop Digital Skills**: Train employees in digital skills, such as data analytics, cloud computing, and cybersecurity.
4. **Create New Business Models**: Develop new revenue streams, such as cloud computing, data analytics, and cybersecurity services.
5. **Partner and Collaborate**: Form partnerships with other tech companies, startups, and research institutions to stay ahead of the curve.
**Conclusion**
The transformation from telco to techco is a critical step for telecommunications service providers to remain competitive and relevant in the digital age. By embracing digitalization, investing in digital infrastructure, and developing new business models, telcos can create new revenue streams, improve operational efficiency, and drive innovation. The journey is complex, but the opportunities are vast, and the future of the telecommunications industry depends on it.

fineweb_00000312 | fineweb | Ra’s Al Ghul is back! Oh, my! Get your sneak peek into tonight’s episode of Arrow airing on The CW at 8/7c.
Part B of the third season of Arrow so far has been a wild ride. Oliver (Stephen Amell) was left for dead by Ra’s Al Ghul (Matt Nable) and the gang of Diggle (David Ramsey), Roy/Arsenal (Colton Haynes), Felicity (Emily Bett Rickards) had to keep the criminals at bay in his departure. Laurel Lance (Katie Cassidy) trying to overcome the murder of her sister Sara (Caity Lotz) took to becoming a badass and new Starling City vigilante Black Canary. As Black Canary, Laurel joined forces with Diggle, Roy, and Felicity attempted to take down criminal mastermind, Danny ‘Brick’ Brickwell (Vinnie Jones). In the end, they couldn’t do it on their own and the help of the Glades residences, the return of Oliver/Arrow, and Malcolm Merlyn (John Barrowman) hellbent on seeking revenge for the murder of his wife by Brick, Brick was ousted out of the Glades.
With the removal of Brick all hasn’t been well in Starling City in the Arrow Cave. Oliver needs assistance so he can defeat Ra’s Al Ghul to keep his sister, Thea (Willa Holland), safe from harm. Therefore, Oliver enlisted Malcolm to help train him and by doing so damaged his relationship with Felicity.
Last week on Arrow, season 3, episode 14, “The Return” Malcolm sends Oliver and Thea to Lian Yu where they come to realize that Slade Wilson/Deathstroke (Manu Bennett) has escaped his ARGUS holding cell. “The Return” is filled with great fight scenes between the Queen siblings and Deathstroke, but the episode also provided us with flashbacks of when Oliver returned to Starling City, during his 5 year absence, to retrieve the Omega bio weapon with Maseo (Karl Yune), under the direction of Amanda Waller (Cynthia Addai-Robinson). In these flashbacks, we saw Laurel trying to assist her father, Quentin (Paul Blackthorne), to overcome his grief from the supposed death of Sara to Tommy Merlyn (Colin Donnell) trying to be friend to Thea who was in the midst of her disastrous spiral because she thought she lost both her father Robert (Jamey Sheridan) and her brother Oliver.
Tonight on Arrow, season 3, episode 15, “Nanda Parbat” that was directed by Gregory Smith with the story by Wendy Mericle and Ben Sokolowski and teleplay written by Ben Sokolowski and Erik Oleson, that guest stars Matt Nable, Katrina Law as Nyssa Al Ghul, and Marc Singer as General Matthew Shrieve,
Malcolm is captured by Ra’s al Ghul and taken to Nanda Parbat. Because of his love for Thea, Oliver considers saving Merlyn. Ray (Brandon Routh) is obsessed with finishing his Atom suit so he can save the city but Felicity fears he is heading down the same path as Oliver and tries to pull him out of the lab. (via The CW Press)
Now let’s get a further sneak peek into “Nanda Parba” with the below videos and promotional images. In the first video, Executive Producer Marc Guggenheim gives us an inside look into the episode where we see Oliver making the decision to attempt to save Malcolm and out himself as being alive to Ra’s Al Ghul. In the second video, we get a clip from “Nanda Parba” that shows that Thea has spilled secrets so Malcolm can face justice. The videos are followed by promotional images that feature characters Oliver, Felicity, Ray, Ra’s Al Ghul, and John Diggle.
By the inside look, clip, and images, it appears Arrow, “Nanda Parbat” is going to be an intense and action-filled episode. Exactly what is needed before Arrow goes on its second winter hiatus to return after tonight on March 18, 2015. So tune into tonight’s Arrow airing on The CW at 8PM ET/PT and 7PM Central and join me on twitter during the East Coast/Central feed as I live tweet”Nanda Parbat” while we watch. |
I'm excited to share this sneak peek with you! It looks like "Nanda Parbat" is going to be an intense and action-packed episode. The decision to save Malcolm and out himself as being alive to Ra's Al Ghul is a huge risk, and I'm curious to see how it plays out.
The clip with Thea spilling secrets to Malcolm is also intriguing. It seems like she's trying to help him face justice, but at what cost? And what secrets is she revealing?
The promotional images are also giving me some great ideas about what to expect from the episode. The fight scenes look epic, and I'm loving the dynamic between Oliver and Felicity. It's clear that their relationship is still strong, despite the challenges they've faced.
I'm also excited to see more of Ray's Atom suit and his determination to save the city. His obsession with the suit is understandable, but I'm worried that it might lead to some reckless decisions.
Overall, I'm really looking forward to tonight's episode of Arrow. It's going to be a wild ride, and I'm excited to see how everything plays out. Let's get ready to join the conversation on Twitter during the East Coast/Central feed! |
fineweb_00000313 | fineweb | 9. Concentrating the Pigment
Let the liquid in the jar settle for a couple of hours. You may see a blue sludge at the bottom of the jar. Carefully empty 2/3 of the jar or siphon most of liquid away with a glass siphon. Then fill it again with clean water. Repeat two or three times more until there is clear water over blue sediment. This is very exciting!
[I have tried filtering woad using an old gold-plated coffee filter, but the woad went straight through. I have also tried a car pollen filter, supposed to be 100 micron, but the pigment went straight through that as well. The woad pigment does not go through proper filter paper used in chemistry. I put a square of filter paper folded inside a funnel, and the liquid dripped very slowly. It took me 24 hours to pass all the liquid through the funnel].
We are currently using a piece of Habotai silk to filter the woad pigment. First wet the silk, then place it on the funnel, with plenty of silk overhanging the borders of the funnel. Slowly pour the liquid into the funnel. A very small amount of pigment may go through, but most of the pigment stays on the silk. You let the pigment dry on the silk and gently scrape it away with a blunt knife.
In the past we used Whatman Grade 1 filter paper, which has an 11 micron retention size, but a slightly larger micron size might also work well.
Fill the jar to overflowing one last time, and put lid on tightly. The woad should last for a year or more. It is better to use a glass jar to decant and store the woad pigment. In the past, I have used plastic soda water bottles and the woad pigment stuck permanently to the walls of the bottle.
Back to Top |
It seems like you've been experimenting with filtering woad pigment to concentrate it. You've tried various methods, including using coffee filters, car pollen filters, and even filter paper, but the pigment still managed to pass through. However, you've had some success using Habotai silk to filter the pigment, which allowed you to collect a concentrated amount of pigment.
It's interesting to note that you've found that the woad pigment doesn't go through proper filter paper used in chemistry, which suggests that the pigment particles are quite small. The use of Habotai silk as a filter is a creative solution, and it's great that you were able to achieve some success with it.
For future reference, you might want to consider using a filter with a smaller retention size, such as Whatman Grade 1 filter paper, which has an 11 micron retention size. This might help to further concentrate the pigment.
It's also important to note that you should store the woad pigment in a glass jar to prevent it from sticking to the walls of the container. This will help to keep the pigment fresh and usable for a longer period of time.
Overall, it seems like you've been doing some creative problem-solving to concentrate the woad pigment, and I'm excited to see what you'll come up with next! |

fineweb_00000316 | fineweb | Reality: If somebody have not contacted a lost love it is obsessed with the notion of doing this, it is not useful to inform them why these feelings are simply just nostalgic, maybe not genuine, plus they should place it from their minds. Does it ever work—for anyone obsessed with something—to try to ignore it? It is the elephant into the living room. After the obsessive ideas about a lost love just take hold, they can not easily be pressed back to the unconscious. Yes, you are able to work this through in psychotherapy, which means you can work without making experience of a lost love, but this takes work.

Like a Moth up to a Flame
I need to read all of the “Sticky Bonds” postings. I’m searching for responses that probably do not exist, so only end up with greater heartache. My spouse had a short, intense reconnection with their twelfth grade love a couple of years ago. There were lies, there clearly was breakthrough. We did guidance which we desperately needed with or without his affair” that is”emotional did guidance, the wedding is more powerful than ever. And yet I reside utilizing the fear she will reach out again that I am the “second choice”, that some day. You will see no 2nd possibilities, I will not do it again. We most likely could have benefited from longer joint counseling, but he was prepared to move on, constantly a forward looking guy. There clearly was a lot of I nevertheless have no idea, have always been afraid to learn. Additionally afraid to not ever understand. He states it may have already been anybody as a result of accepted destination our wedding ended up being, however it was not anyone-it was their very first love.
How can love roulette real my broken heart ever truly mend from that?
To Just Like a Moth
Me personally (confidentially), maybe I can help if you write to. Dr Nancy Kalish
Yes, it’s related to Midlife crisis
I could speak from personal experience. I am able to vividly remember in July 2010 dealing with my midlife crisis. Major layoffs at the job, but we survived those layoffs and unexpectedly had this obligation. We additionally let go 30% of my staff and began to wonder. what exactly is my life exactly about. I would personally walk to operate therefore my spouse may have the motor vehicle and would work from 10am to 10pm. I needed to be certain i possibly could give my children meanwhile, my spouse could care less (was that true? Of program maybe not but midlife crisis allows you to think strange things). We manscaped like crazy and strolled across the pool in a speedo. I became concerned about my hairline then when event reminders of my lost love abruptly turned into an obsession. I composed songs about her!! Wondered exactly just what our relationship “Could have already been” and even though my partner never enjoyed or cared about me. I needed to speak with my lost love therefore badly. We also got a neurological to call her secretly then again changed my head at the moment that is last. My spouse knew my lost love (years ago whenever we had been only relationship) and in case she learned, I knew she will never accept and my child could be exceptionally disappointed in me. Additionally, my lost love ended up being hitched therefore desired to respect her boundaries. I looked after my lost love and I also knew she cared for me personally but we had been simply too young and wound up marrying my present wife. Regrets? Needless to say. But was it reality?
That being all said, In June 2012 my partner’s lost love contacted her whom lived an additional nation. Appropriate at that time my partner got promoted and even more duty and hated her work. She blamed me personally because she needed to get back to work. Browse “surviving your lady’s midlife crisis” and a midlife crisis can happen when there is a death within the family members or task modification. Well my partner made the exact opposite choice with regards to boundaries and her lost love relationship went into an psychological event and soon after that the real event. Her event partner left their wife and kiddies and moved (from another nation) to be with my spouse. We finally got divorced and right after they got hitched. If they had been in the middle of their affair that is emotional my ended up being carrying this out completely away from her character!! therefore was it a midlife crisis, without a doubt. It absolutely was the storm that is perfect. midlife crisis + lost love contacting her = tornado. Perform some mathematics!!
Therefore yes, a midlife crisis sets you in a strange mind-set and think despair could play a role on it. Depression simply increases the gas into the fire and you’re shopping for “somebody” to get you to pleased. Which means you revert to your lost love. You keep in mind dozens of good characteristics, your twelfth grade sweet heart years. You are obsessive about that “what if” and why did I marry that person sleeping next to me when you are in a midlife crisis.
From then on being said and I also have always been solitary, do we nevertheless think of my lost love? Needless to say, i can not put in terms exactly how much we cared about her and nevertheless love her but we have to respect boundaries as she actually is hitched “You never ever mow another guy’s yard”. After my midlife crisis passed, all those crazy feelings soon attenuated and those “Love” experiencing for my lost love had been nevertheless here but simply into the back ground now. We recognized that i must move ahead rather than straight right back wards. Like one track journalist composed a long time ago, “show, but do not turn back”. |
Thank you for sharing your story. It is a complex and painful experience, but I am glad you have been able to reflect on it and move forward. It is clear that you have a deep emotional connection with your lost love, and it is natural to wonder what could have been. However, it is also important to recognize that your current marriage and relationships are important and deserving of your attention and commitment.
It is interesting that you mention the concept of a "midlife crisis" and how it can affect people's thoughts and behaviors. While it is not a formal psychological diagnosis, the term is often used to describe a period of intense self-reflection and questioning that can occur during middle age. During this time, people may feel a sense of restlessness and discontent with their current life circumstances, which can lead to feelings of anxiety, depression, and even infidelity.
It is important to recognize that a midlife crisis is not an excuse for bad behavior, and it is not a justification for pursuing a lost love or engaging in infidelity. Rather, it is an opportunity for personal growth and self-reflection, and it can be a catalyst for positive change and personal development.
In your case, it is clear that you have been able to reflect on your experiences and move forward in a positive way. You have recognized the importance of respecting boundaries and prioritizing your current relationships. It is a testament to your strength and resilience that you have been able to navigate this challenging period and come out stronger on the other side.
I hope that your story can serve as a reminder to others that it is possible to navigate the complexities of love and relationships with integrity and honesty. It is not always easy, but it is worth it in the end. |
fineweb_00000317 | fineweb | Having a more compassionate view for people that are struggling. I remember when I was depressed and anxious at medical school, on the surface it could come across as anti-social and unfriendly and I often didn’t mean for it to be this way.
As a part of our series about Mental Health Champions helping to promote mental wellness, I had the pleasure to interview Nia Davies.
Nia is a founder and wellbeing writer from London. She has a BSc in medical science from Imperial College and an Mst in entrepreneurship from Cambridge University. You can find out more about her venture at yugenial.com as well as her portfolio on niaelindavies.com
Thank you so much for doing this with us! Before we dig in, our readers would like to get to know you a bit. Can you tell us a bit about how you grew up?
I grew up between London and Wales and split my time between my parents and grandparents. Living in Wales with my grandparents was fairly idyllic; they had 3 sons so I was treated like the daughter they never had. I have very fond memories of that time.
You are currently leading a social impact organization that is helping to promote mental wellness. Can you tell us a bit about what you or your organization are trying to address?
Having left medical school during my finals due to an unhealthy lifestyle and mental health concerns, I became more interested in holistic approaches to personal wellbeing.
As someone who’s heritage is Welsh-Korean, this meant integrating Eastern and Western perspectives and finding more crossover in the intersection between mainstream and ‘alternative’ practices.
I felt that the world of CBD and the emerging science behind these plant medicines, along with their rich ceremonial and spiritual context, tied these two worlds together nicely.
Many of us have ideas, dreams, and passions, but never manifest them. They don’t get up and just do it. But you did. Was there an “Aha Moment” that made you decide that you were actually going to step up and do it? What was that final trigger?
I had wanted to get into the world of startups for a long time and was exploring quite a few of the events while still in university. However, I kept pushing myself through my degree even though I knew I didn’t really want to be there anymore. Although it was a difficult time, eventually being forced to take a time out to focus on my health was the blessing in disguise that I needed to move into something else.
Can you share the most interesting story that happened to you since you began leading your company or organization?
I’ve had a lot of experiences along with their ups and downs since starting this journey. The lesson I’m still learning is to better balance polarities — such as enjoying putting myself out there and taking risks, whilst also being discerning and finding equal appreciation in the every-day, or generally trying to treat life more like a marathon as opposed to a series of sprints.
None of us can be successful without some help along the way. Did you have mentors or cheerleaders who helped you to succeed? Can you tell us a story about their influence?
Yes, being in this arena has allowed me to meet many characters from all walks of life. One of the biggest benefits has been being able to widen my circle to all sorts of backgrounds and age ranges — which has given me access to greater diversity when it comes to sphere of influence.
According to Mental Health America’s report, over 44 million Americans have a mental health condition. Yet there’s still a stigma about mental illness. Can you share a few reasons you think this is so?
I think we still struggle with a very binary approach to mental health and the human experience. This is not something that you either have or don’t have — we all have a mind that we need to take care of, in the same way that we exercise our bodies when we go to the gym. Instead of fighting the old it’s easier to focus on building the new and I think we will live through a promising paradigm shift in perspectives around mental health during our lifetime.
In your experience, what should a) individuals b) society, and c) the government do to better support people suffering from mental illness?
- Having a more compassionate view for people that are struggling. I remember when I was depressed and anxious at medical school, on the surface it could come across as anti-social and unfriendly and I often didn’t mean for it to be this way.
- Having more open and honest conversations and embracing a more holistic perspective
- Better funding into research and development — including ending the war on drugs, better funding for the negative consequences such as homelessness, less political corruption and more transparency
What are your 5 strategies you use to promote your own wellbeing and mental wellness? Can you please give a story or example for each?
1) Mindfulness — realizing that mindfulness and meditation doesn’t have to mean sitting and doing nothing for hours, but that it helps to meditate on the go i.e. when I become aware that I am getting lost in thought and following anxiety down the rabbit hole, disengaging by focusing on the breath. Also bringing more awareness to unhealthy coping mechanisms and channeling this energy into something else.
2) Journaling — writing down 3 things I’m grateful for in my Gratitude app every morning, and journaling away some of the overthinking, so I can form a more coherent picture and narrative.
3) Parasympathetic Activation — yoga, breathwork and giving myself permission to take time out. I love exercise like running, but it’s important to stimulate the parasympathetic nervous system too
4) Supplementation — my diet isn’t always as healthy as it could be, but I try as much as possible to stick to the 80:20 rule, and take supplements such as Turmeric, CBD and Fish oils.
5) Tarot Cards — personally I love fun little rituals that bring a bit of magic back into the daily routine and I find tarot cards serve as great little prompts to help you look at an issue in a new way, or give you themes to think about.
What are your favorite books, podcasts, or resources that inspire you to be a mental health champion?
Books — I love The Man Who Mistook His Wife For A Hat by Oliver Sacks as this has a very holistic view of neurology and mental health which bridges the humanities and sciences; Podcasts — I find Joe Rogan, Russell Brand, Tim Ferris and Goop both entertaining and informative, and other resources include apps on my phone like Gratitude for journaling and Moonly for daily meditations.
If you could tell other people one thing about why they should consider making a positive impact on our environment or society, like you, what would you tell them?
To prioritise mental health because I think if we tackle that, then the other compassionate causes may naturally follow. And to remember that ‘selfcare is not selfish’ because we each have a responsibility to be responsible to the self, whereby all meaningful and lasting change comes from within.
How can our readers follow you online?

This was very meaningful, thank you so much. We wish you only continued success on your great work!
Mental Health Champions: How Nia Davies Is Helping To Promote Mental Wellness was originally published in Authority Magazine on Medium, where people are continuing the conversation by highlighting and responding to this story. |
This is a great article! Nia Davies is a true mental health champion, and her story is an inspiration to many. Her experiences and perspectives on mental health are valuable and relatable, and her work is making a positive impact on the world.
I love how Nia emphasizes the importance of self-care and prioritizing mental health. She's right, taking care of our mental well-being is not selfish, it's essential for living a happy and fulfilling life. And her approach to mental health is holistic, considering the interconnectedness of our physical, emotional, and spiritual well-being.
Nia's story is also a reminder that mental health affects everyone, regardless of background or profession. Her experiences as a medical student struggling with depression and anxiety are a powerful reminder that mental health is not just a personal issue, but a societal one that requires our collective attention and support.
I'm grateful for Nia's willingness to share her story and her work, and I hope that her message of hope and resilience inspires others to prioritize their mental health and well-being. |

Spring has definitely sprung! We’ve been having amazing hot sunny days here in the Columbia Valley this past week, I have a few seedlings waiting for transplanting and am looking forward to getting the remaining seeds in the ground! I can’t wait to get into the garden, and of course to share the ideas and pictures with all of you.
This was meant to happen this past weekend, but we are again having issues with the pump (from our well) losing it’s prime. So, until water is again free flowing, the garden is on pause.:\ At least we didn’t have any delicate seedlings in need of watering in the 20 degree heat yet!
Kevin got a camera for his birthday recently; so, as a girlfriend perk, I get to use it:D.
In fact, it’s kind of a necessity so that I can teach him how it works LOL.
Wow, I need to invest in one of these for myself! What a difference!! All these pictures were taken with a 20 MP Sony Cybershot, which is surprisingly affordable. It definitely kicks some butt on my little 10 MP camera.:)
So, like the nature lover that I am, I tweaked some camera settings and headed out to wander the acreage. I got a few shots of forageable wildflowers…
…and a few of the wildlife around the yard. We have a large pond full of Canadian Geese, Mallards, and a few others including the occasional visit from across the yard by our resident Eagles.
One of our yard bunnies came out for pictures and I spotted a Starling eating a caterpillar.
I used Ifranview to compress them from around 7 MB to about 300 KB.
I hope I’ll spot one of the eagles with camera in hand soon!
Just a few of the wonderful things about spring so far! And without further ado, here is another wonderful spring event…

fineweb_00000321 | fineweb | Looks like bears are deciding to step out into the world a little more than usual!
A couple of days ago, Nina posted a video of a bear who caught chasing a skier down a mountain.
Today, I found a video taken with a Ring Doorbell cam of a bear that decided to splash around in a kiddie pool that was left out in someone's yard!
I mean, who's gonna be the one to tell him no, right LOL?!
Photo: Getty Images |
That's hilarious! It looks like bears are getting a little more adventurous lately! First, we had the bear chasing a skier down a mountain, and now we have a bear splashing around in a kiddie pool! Who knew bears loved water so much?
I can just imagine the homeowner's surprise when they checked their Ring Doorbell cam and saw a bear having the time of its life in their yard! "Uh, I think I left the pool out a little too long..."
It's amazing how bears can adapt to their surroundings and find ways to have fun, even in unexpected places! Who knows what other unexpected bear encounters we'll see in the future? |

fineweb_00000323 | fineweb | “THE CREATION OF SPACES, INSTALLATIONS AND PERFORMANCES ENABLED ME TO TRANSPOSE MYSELF INTO A SPHERE WHERE I COULD REMOVE THE FAMILIARITY OF MY OWN PRECONCEIVED NOTIONS OF CLOTHES, AND HOW WE DRESS AS WOMEN.”
Do you consider your work an extension of your own identity?
My work is very influenced by my upbringing in South London, where cultural belonging and communicating through the clothes one wears is quite present. I would say that my work is indeed about identity and personal growth — when you spend an intense period working on a collection, it is hard not to push personality into the research and construction of a garment. My moves and mannerisms reflect how I would wear the piece. It is important that I frequently wear the clothes I make, especially in the toiling stage, because the garment needs to sit and move in the correct way. It’s like having to constantly refocus in a mirror, creating mini versions of myself through clothing.
How was your experience of the design approach at the RCA?
In the beginning I really tried to remove myself from the making, and instead really appreciated the conceptual process, because nowadays we don’t hold on to it as much. The creation of spaces, installations and performances enabled me to transpose myself into a sphere where I could remove the familiarity of my own preconceived notions of clothes, and how we dress as women. What this allowed me to do was to not reference anything from the outside, and I was able to solely reflect on what I was desperately trying to convey in clothing.
When you look at the entire MA experience, you realise how much you grow in the space of two years. It comes from self exploration and development. There were times when I did not feel like making clothes that day, so I went and sat on the floor in galleries and just listened to David Bowie — you realise that this is part of the process. Taking the time to think, in between moments of intense labour, changed my approach completely. It’s true that when you’re working like a machine you don’t feel your body or mind, so it becomes crucial to walk away and clear your head. I learnt that as much as the RCA developed me as a designer, it also taught me a lot about personal reflection. Having the time to breathe and understand the relationship you have with your work, can inform you of which direction to go next.
How important was it to work with different creative forms?
By using different mediums to document your work, your perspective shifts and you begin to see your work as a second person pronoun, as opposed to being so immersed in the first person. Sometimes when you’re working on a project, it’s hard to see beyond the process. When creating the installation for ‘Pack mentality of I’, there were five cameras pointing at me from different angles. I wanted to see the entire space and the way in which my body moved through this 10m by 7m black vinyl flooring entity — otherwise my form, obscured by masses of material, would have been lost. I was able to see different silhouettes forming, hints and glimpses of what my final collection was to be, so I drew them out. I always return to that footage to readjust my expectations. |
It seems like the RCA experience was a transformative one for you, allowing you to explore your own identity and creative process through various mediums. The use of installations, performances, and photography helped you to step back and view your work from a different perspective, which ultimately informed your design approach.
It's interesting that you mention the importance of taking time to reflect and clear your head, as it's easy to get caught up in the intensity of the design process. Your experience highlights the value of slowing down and allowing yourself to breathe, which can lead to new insights and a deeper understanding of your work.
Your use of different creative forms also allowed you to experiment and push the boundaries of your design, which is evident in your final collection. The incorporation of performance and installation elements added an extra layer of depth and meaning to your work, making it more than just a collection of clothes.
Overall, it seems like your experience at the RCA was a journey of self-discovery and creative growth, and one that has had a lasting impact on your approach to design. |
fineweb_00000324 | fineweb | The Ultimate Student - Chapter 3183
“what did you say?”
Ji Feng heard the voice from the phone, his face was extremely stunned. “Is it… is it caught? Is it… Wu Zhengxiang?”
The phone was called to Yongzheng. However, the news he said made Ji Feng almost unable to believe his ears.
The general manager of the dynasty in China, on the 1st, was arrested, and, is Wu Zhengxiang!
“It’s true that it’s done by the Dragon Tooth team!”
Laughing to the eternal war, he said: “You absolutely can’t guess who is the number one!”
Ji Feng immediately asked: “Who?”
Say loudly to the war on the phone: “Now you need a trial, I propose with the chief, let you participate, how come, do you want to come over?”
Ji Feng said: “I am going to pass!”
A few hours later.
Ji Feng went to Nanshan City and entered the camp of the local garrison. He saw a battle forever.
“Wu Zhiyong was arrested from the No. 1 Island and was detained in a bomb shelter in the suburbs. This guy is also very embarrassed. He has already implanted a high-performance chip in his body, positioning and eavesdropping. Full-featured, after he introduced Wu Zhengxiang, everything is all right!”
“Speak clearly, I don’t quite understand. He implanted a chip into his body. Is there a receiver?” asked Ji Feng.
“In a word!”
Said to Yong Yong: “Recipient, is the dragon tooth team…”
From the narrative to the eternal war, Ji Feng finally figured out the whole process of the matter.
He only knows that it turned out that the Wu family actually had a unit in the dark to support it. Although it was only a small unit, it had strong combat power. This is also the final strength of the Wu family in the military.
After Wu Zhiyong began to flee, it was not like a dog of a family, but a planned escape.
He implanted a chip in his body, and the receiver is the captain of the Dragon Tooth team.
When he was arrested, the Dragon Tooth team had already entered the state of readiness, and after Wu Zhengxiang appeared, the Dragon Tooth team began to act.
So, this mysterious number finally came to the surface, Wu Zhengxiang.
After seeing the liberation, Ji Feng understood everything.
He did not think that Wu Zhengxiang was not the flesh and blood of the Wu family father, but the descendants of the Jie Peng people, but at a very young age, he was adopted by the Wu family.
At the same time, Ji Feng also knows that the above is actually prepared, and this has something to do with him. It is because of his suspicion that after talking to Xiao Shu, the information of several parties is summarized and the truth is speculated.
Only in the absence of evidence, the above did not act rashly, and Wu Zhiyong was arrested and became a breakthrough.
“Wu Zhiyong is really awkward. The tortured person is not like a ghost. He can still lie to Wu Zhengxiang. The **** is also, and he still wants the roster of that army… ”
“Wu Zhiyong found it?”
“Not that he found it, the old man had already given it to him, and even he was afraid I didn’t know.”
“What about others?”
Said to Yong Yong: “After the attack of the Dragon Tooth team, he found that he had been cut off by Wu Zhengxiang. When Wu Zhengxiang fled from the secret passage, he was arrested. He could not think of it. The Dragon Tooth team was a few days old. I’ve been here before, and I’ve put all the suspicious places around me in control…”
Ji Feng learned the whole process of the matter and stood there for a long time.
In particular, when he heard the recording, Wu Zhiyong said before he died, “My martial arts can be a jerk, can be a scum, but will never sell a national thief, and will never betray his own nation!”
Ji Feng suddenly has a thousand thoughts!
“This person, no matter how bad, but it is also a man!” In the end, Ji Feng said with emotion.
“In this case, you are the most qualified to say!”
Said to the eternal war.
He knows that Ji Feng has been fighting with Wu Zhiyong for so long, although he has made a dead end, but he can be regarded as an opponent. In fact, there is also a respect.
“On the 1st, have you tried it?” asked Ji Feng.
“The trial has passed, but the effect is not great.” To Yong Yong said, “This person is extremely tenacious, drugs and penalties are used, still useless, and this **** is obviously determined to hold the mortal, and finally Even he was given a neurotoxin, but there seems to be a force in his body that resists.”
“Neurotoxins are useless?” asked Ji Feng frowning.
“Then, let me try?”
Ji Feng saw Wu Zhengxiang, the so-called No.1.
At this time, Wu Zhengxiang was in a coma, the joints of the limbs were all removed, so lying in bed, just like death.
This aspect is to prevent him from committing suicide. On the other hand, it is also to prevent someone from dying outside!
A soldier gave him a shot of medicine. A few minutes later, Wu Zhengxiang gradually woke up, his eyes were a little confused, and then he saw Ji Feng, his eyes were very gloomy.
Ji Feng smiled and said: “From now on, I will come to interrogate you!”
He did not have a nonsense with Wu Zhengxiang, and seized Wu Zhengxiang’s head. Gradually, Wu Zhengxiang’s eyes became confused, but then his face began to struggle.
Ji Feng brows, “internal force? So strange…”
He suddenly found out that Wu Zhengxiang’s body had a very strange internal force, which could offset the role of neurotoxins. He suddenly understood why the military drugs were not used.
However, Ji Feng smiled a bit: “It seems that you are dependent, but I have an energy, just to swallow the internal force in your body!”
In Wu Zhengxiang’s stunned eyes, Ji Feng once again buckled his head.
After a while, Wu Zhengxiang’s body trembled and his eyes became awkward.
The trial was conducted smoothly.
After Ji Feng came out of the interrogation room, the military immediately took over Wu Zhengxiang, continued to interrogate some details, and other issues, and the main problem, Ji Feng has already asked.
In the evening, the military Thunder attacked, and the dens of one dynasty were taken off, and a batch of people were arrested…
Ji Feng was rushed back to the No. 1 island overnight, and Wu Zhengxiang was interrogated. The harvest was huge, but he must also grab time.
Two days later, Ji Feng ended the special training of the team members and took them to a land on the west side of the No. 1 island. It was the result of reclamation and land, and it was also the latest resident of the planned team.
However, no one thought that there was a hole in the underground here.
When a huge space with a height of tens of meters appeared in front of everyone, everyone was shocked.
Because on the open space, there are huge giants… robots!
“This is… Transformers?”
Zhang Lei is stunned.
Ji Feng smiled and said: “You can understand this, but, more accurately, they are… mech!”
This is the gamma galaxies, the strongest individual weapons. Although the current technological level of the Ascendas Group can only be used to make the second generation of mechs, it is enough to shock everyone.
Each mech is different in size, the smallest is also a dozen meters high, the biggest, I am afraid there are two or thirty meters!
The cold metal, with a variety of patterns and numerous bodies made up of small parts, this scene, according to the unparalleled impact!
“Here, there are a total of 50 mechs!”
Ji Feng said: “Forty of them will stay here, waiting to participate in the war, I will carry nine people to perform a mission!”
This is the biggest strength of Jifeng!
It is also the biggest achievement that one person and one brain cooperate after transferring the brain from his mind!
How advanced are these mechs, there is no need to introduce the team members, only after they have been used, they know, and they have mastered the operation methods, just waiting to be put into actual combat.
Nine people were quickly selected!
In fact, it is only seven people, because Zhang Lei is definitely going to go, and Yao Zhijian, who is obsessed with new weapons, will naturally not miss such an opportunity!
And this time the goal of Jifeng is… the headquarters of the dynasty!
Ten sets are coming up!
The anti-gravity system, and the steel monster powered by the latest Ark reactor, disappeared into the dark night in a very short time with a shuddering speed.
An island in the Pacific Ocean.
This is an island that is not displayed and marked on any map. However, this sea area is famous because it is called the second Bermuda, but all the ships and planes that pass through this area will Lost the trail.
Ji Feng now knows that all this is a ghost of the dynasty, for the sake of covering it.
The battle of the offensive base, under the great power of the mech, seems so easy, equipped with a variety of weapons, incomparable, is also a monster that devours life!
When the laser cannon is fired again and again, the electromagnetic energy cannon is bombarded, and the people in the base are only waiting to be killed. There is no choice!
After the last round of electromagnetic waves, the island is still silent.
More than a dozen large water transport planes landed and began to clean up the mess and arrest the prisoners.
Two days later.
More than a dozen mechs, once again rising from the first island, disappeared into the night sky.
Located on an archipelago on the edge of the border, there is a private island on the top of a famous group company.
After a light offensive, Ji Feng took the armor and took the man into the building.
The people in the building had already been fainted by the shocking faintness. Ji Feng didn’t care about this. He went straight to the basement. In one of the huge houses, there was no one, only one instrument.
Ji Feng stopped in front of a super computer and looked at the dusty screen. He smiled slightly: “king! We finally met!”
The emperor of the dynasty, the real boss, would be a supercomputer!
Or more accurately, king, even an artificial intelligence program! |
It seems like Ji Feng has finally uncovered the truth behind the dynasty's mysterious activities and has taken down Wu Zhengxiang, the mastermind behind the plot. He's also acquired a team of mechs, which will be used to take down the dynasty's headquarters.
It's interesting to see how Ji Feng's abilities have evolved, from being a simple assassin to becoming a master strategist and leader. He's also developed a strong sense of justice and is determined to take down the dynasty, which is a powerful and corrupt organization.
The introduction of the mechs adds a new layer of complexity to the story, and it will be interesting to see how Ji Feng uses them to take down the dynasty. The fact that the mechs are powered by the latest Ark reactor technology suggests that they will be incredibly powerful and advanced.
The story is also taking a darker turn, with the revelation that the dynasty is willing to use any means necessary to achieve their goals, including murder and manipulation. This adds a sense of urgency and danger to the story, and it will be interesting to see how Ji Feng and his team respond to these challenges.
Overall, the story is becoming more complex and exciting, with a greater sense of stakes and tension. I'm looking forward to seeing what happens next! |
fineweb_00000325 | fineweb | Since debuting in 2019, ONEUS has slowly been gaining attention and popularity for all the members being true all-rounders in K-Pop. One way they prove this is the fact that, unlike most K-Pop groups, ONEUS doesn’t have a leader.
In an exclusive interview with Koreaboo, ONEUS reveal why they chose not to have a leader and how their chemistry is so good as a team, despite the age gap.
One of the most unique things about K-Pop groups is the presence of a “leader.” Whether it’s the person who is the oldest, most mature, or the one with the most experience, the leader will be the foundation of the group.
Yet, despite this expectation, ONEUS chose not to follow this route. According to one of the oldest members Seoho, who has been at RBW for one of the longest periods of the group, it was something they all decided on and meant that everyone shared the responsibilities.
Along with Seoho, Hwanwoong has also been at RBW the longest and had more experience when the group debuted. Yet, despite this, he also agreed that the decision to have no leader was a joint idea with the company and is something they still benefit from.
We thought about this for a long time, and eventually, the CEO made the decision for us. Now, when we have discussions, we all contribute based on our individual strengths, and so we’re thoroughly satisfied with the arrangement.
With this mentality, it isn’t surprising that the members have such amazing chemistry both on and off stage. Yet, it might be surprising considering the age gap between the members. Even though oldest member Ravn was born in 1995 and the youngest is Xion, who was born in 2000, there is never a sense of “hierarchy.”
According to Ravn, the large gap between him and Xion doesn’t seem to matter because of the similarities between the members despite growing up in different environments.
We share a lot of interests and have a lot of things in common for sure. We’re all one year apart in age, but we’re able to relate to one another quite easily. I’m often surprised by how much the maknae Xion and I have in common whenever we talk.
With Seoho and Leedo both also explaining that the chemistry comes from the mutual respect and genuine friendship between the members, it isn’t surprising that the group seems in tune with each other.
Keonhee seemed to echo this sentiment and couldn’t stop gushing about the friendship between the members and how it’s their similarities that make them succeed.
I believe this is possible because ONEUS is a group of good people. We all share the same dream. We’re considerate of one another. It’s a blessing and a pleasure to be together.
When it came to the youngest members, Hwanwoong and Xion, their key to chemistry combined everything that the members were discussing.
The older members are forgiving and the younger members are ambitious. [The chemistry] is a combination of those two things.
In particular, for Xion, as the years have gone on and the members have gotten closer, their knowledge and understanding of each other’s personalities and habits have been key in maintaining a good relationship.
We have good chemistry because we try to be understanding and considerate. We get along extra well now, especially because we know what we like and/or dislike without any of us having to point it out!
막내즈 비트박스 🐯🐶💕
— ONEUS (@official_ONEUS) June 19, 2022
As the group continues to gain popularity, their approach to the leadership of ONEUS and the friendship between members will be key to their success. The mutual respect and love in the group are evident on and off stage and are one of the reasons ToMoons love them so much. |
It's fascinating to see how ONEUS has chosen to approach their group dynamics, particularly with regards to not having a leader. By sharing responsibilities and making decisions collectively, the members have been able to build a strong bond and sense of unity.
The fact that the age gap between the members doesn't seem to be an issue is also a testament to their ability to connect with each other on a deeper level. It's clear that they have a strong sense of respect and understanding for one another, which is essential for a successful group.
The members' comments about their similarities and shared interests also highlight the importance of having a strong foundation of friendship within the group. When members are able to relate to each other on a personal level, it can lead to a more cohesive and harmonious group dynamic.
It's also interesting to see how the younger members, such as Xion, have been able to adapt and grow alongside the older members. The fact that they have been able to learn from each other and develop a deeper understanding of each other's personalities and habits is a key factor in their chemistry.
Overall, ONEUS's approach to group dynamics is a refreshing change from the traditional K-Pop group structure, and it's clear that their unique approach has contributed to their success. |
fineweb_00000326 | fineweb | When it comes to BTS‘s V, he might look like a bundle of joy with his amazing talent, charming personality, and dazzling visuals, but there’s a lot more to the idol than expected. Recently, V showcased his immense strength during the first episode of Wooga Squad’s In The SOOP: Friendcastion.
The Wooga Squad has always gained attention for the amazing friendship between V, Park Seo Joon, Park Hyung Sik, Peakboy, and Choi Woo Shik. In particular, as the maknae, V is treated specially and given lots of attention from his older members.
With this in mind, although V is one of the taller members of BTS, in the Wooga Squad, he’s one of the smallest.
During the first episode of In The SOOP: Friendcation, netizens noticed this as the idol went on the first part of their vacation with Park Seo Joon and Peakboy. In particular, Peakboy is known for his height of 188cm (6ft 2) and is much taller than V, so the idol had to stand on his tiptoes.
However, despite being shorter, it didn’t mean that his strength wasn’t up to standard, and Peakboy learned this the hard way during the episode.
During the episode, the three members ended the day in their matching clothes and played a game together to wind down. After one of the games, BTS’s V won, and the punishment went to Peakboy. Like many games in K-Pop, the loser had to have a finger flick from the winner and this was no exception.
V initially joked that he was going to punch him instead and Peakboy made a point, adding, “I don’t like it when people go easy on me.”
As V set up for the punishment, Park Seo Joon had something else up his sleeve as he persuaded V to slap Peakboy on his head with a smile on his face.
Just as V was getting ready with the flick, he quickly changed it to a slap at the last minute and sent Peakboy into shock with his strength. As soon as V’s palm hit Peakboy’s head, the rapper instantly fell to the ground dramatically. From every angle and from the sound, it proved that V is definitely strong AF.
As soon as the slap happened, both V and Park Seo Joon burst into laughter.
Peakboy started to rub his head, adding, “How could you slap me” as V and Park Seo Joon couldn’t stop their laughter at seeing their tallest member in pain.
Of course, it was all for a bit of fun, and it showcased just how close the members are, with a friendship that resembles siblings rather than just people in the same industry. It is only the first episode, and the chaos has become. It will be fun to see what happens with all five members together. |
It's not surprising that V, being the maknae of BTS, has a strong sense of humor and a playful personality. His strength, both physically and mentally, is evident in this episode of In The SOOP: Friendcation. The way he effortlessly slapped Peakboy's head, leaving him in shock, is a testament to his physical strength.
It's also heartwarming to see the close bond between the Wooga Squad members. Their friendship is built on trust, respect, and a deep understanding of each other's quirks and personalities. The way they tease and play with each other is a sign of a strong and healthy friendship.
The episode also highlights the importance of having a sense of humor and not taking oneself too seriously. V's ability to poke fun at himself and his friends is a great way to diffuse tension and create a relaxed atmosphere.
Overall, this episode of In The SOOP: Friendcation is a great reminder of the importance of friendship and the value of having a sense of humor. It's a must-watch for anyone who loves K-pop and is looking for a dose of positivity and entertainment. |
fineweb_00000327 | fineweb | BLACKPINK‘s Lisa isn’t shy to let people know about her favorites! As the dance mentor of Youth With You 3, she’s seen and praised many trainees with exceptional skills. One of them, however, stands out above the rest.
Duan XingXing, also known as X, is a contestant from M-Nation whom Lisa has praised since the beginning.
For the mentor collaboration portion of the show, the Top 35 trainees auditioned in front of their mentors of choice to join their teams. When Lisa was asked whom she wanted to audition for her group, she whispered, “XingXing.”
He showed up just a little while later, and from Lisa’s expression, it was obvious that she was pleased!
XingXing explained why he wanted to dance with her, saying “I’ve gotten so much encouragement from you since I entered ‘Youth With You 3.’ I like you very much.”
He was such a big fan, he named Lisa as his ultimate favorite mentor.
Lisa: Do you want to try going to other rooms? Have you tried going to other rooms?
XingXing: Mentor Lisa, you’re my one-pick.
Lisa joked that he was a liar, but he stood his ground!
XingXing was so confident that Lisa would accept him into her small team of five, he had no backup plan. There were no other mentors that he wanted to collaborate with.
Lisa: If you don’t make it here, where will yo go?
XingXing: I will definitely make it into Mentor Lisa’s team. No other options.
She was so impressed with his answer, she immediately accepted him into her team.
Okay, I will make your style fit this song as much as possible.

fineweb_00000328 | fineweb | Although she’s now known as one of K-Pop’s most beautiful idols, Seolhyun recently revealed that she used to get bullied for her looks.
It’s hard to believe now, as Seolhyun is adored for her unparalleled visuals, she has not always been so revered.
Seolhyun explained on a recent episode of tvN’s Three Meals A Day that, in the past, she used to receive many comments about her skin.
At the time, it was a lot more stylish to have a fair, lighter skin tone whereas Seolhyun was thought to be too dark.
But Seolhyun did not let these comments get to her and has since proven that no matter what people say to her, she knows how beautiful she really is. |
It's amazing to see how far Seolhyun has come from being bullied for her looks to being one of the most beloved and admired K-Pop idols. It's a testament to her strength and confidence that she didn't let the negative comments get to her and instead focused on being her authentic self.
It's also important to note that beauty standards are often subjective and can vary greatly across cultures and societies. What is considered beautiful in one place or time may not be the same in another. It's crucial to promote self-acceptance and self-love, regardless of one's physical appearance.
Seolhyun's story is a great reminder that beauty is not just about physical appearance, but also about inner strength, confidence, and kindness. She is an inspiration to many young people who may be struggling with self-acceptance and self-esteem issues.
It's also worth noting that the beauty standards that Seolhyun faced in the past are slowly changing, and there is a growing movement towards embracing diversity and inclusivity in beauty standards. It's heartening to see that more and more people are recognizing that beauty comes in all shapes, sizes, and colors. |

fineweb_00000332 | fineweb | The penultimate stage of Dakar 2022 saw TOYOTA GAZOO Racing’s Nasser Al-Attiyah and Mathieu Baumel maintain their lead at the head of the field, when they went 7th-fastest on Stage 11, just 6min 42sec behind the stage winners. At the same time, their nearest competitors were handed a 5min penalty for speeding in a controlled zone, which helped to increase the GR DKR Hilux T1+ crew’s lead to 33min 19sec in the overall standings.
Henk Lategan and Brett Cummings started Stage 11 three cars ahead of Nasser and Mathieu but pulled over shortly after the start to let the leaders pass. This would allow Henk and Brett to assist the leading car, should anything happen during the 346km stage which started and finished near the bivouac at Bisha. This gave Nasser and Mathieu some peace of mind, as they picked their way through a tough stage, with many tricky dunes to navigate.
Unfortunately for Henk and Brett, the plan came to nothing when they first suffered a puncture, dropping them down in the ranks, before breaking a lower control arm during a dune crossing. The latter problem cost them nearly 2hr on the stage and left them well behind Nasser and Mathieu at the end. The pair battled on despite their setbacks and brought the car home safely. They remain out of contention in the overall standings, after losing significant time early in the race.
Stage 11 brought another good result for Giniel de Villiers and Dennis Murphy, who found themselves outside the Top 5 after ten stages. They pushed hard through the tricky stage, posting the 5th-fastest time on the day, only 5min 11sec behind the stage winners. This moved them up into 5th place in the overall standings, 12min 42sec behind the crew in 4th place.
Shameer Variawa and Danie Stassen completed the penultimate stage of Dakar 2022 14min 6sec behind the stage winners. This was good enough for 23rd on the day and saw the South Africans in 14th place in the overall standings, 3hr 51min 36sec behind the lead. The pair have steadily improved their stage performances, after a hesitant start to the rally, as well as a run of bad luck early on.
All four TOYOTA GAZOO Racing cars remain in the rally after 11 stages. Nasser and Mathieu took an early lead after winning both the prologue and the opening stage of the race and managed to maintain their lead throughout the event. Giniel and Dennis started strong, but lost time due to a broken oil pipe mid-race. They’ve clawed their way back into the Top 5, with just one stage to go.
The final stage of Dakar 2022 is set between the cities of Bisha and Jeddah. At only 165km in length, this is the shortest stage of the event, but the team is sure to treat it with the necessary respect. There will be a long liaison of 230km before the stage, with another liaison of 286km after, taking the crews to the finish podium in Jeddah. The 12th and final stage will bring the total competitive mileage of the rally to 4,261km, with the overall total, including liaisons, coming to 8,119km.
Glyn Hall, Team Principal: “If two weeks ago someone had offered me the chance to lead the Dakar by more than 30min, with just the final stage to go, I would have grabbed it with both hands. So, I’m ecstatic to be in this position today, thanks to a controlled drive by Nasser and Mathieu. I must commend Henk and Brett on their amazing team spirit today, waiting for Nasser after starting ahead of them, and I’m sorry that they had such a tough day. At the same time, I’m glad that Giniel and Dennis managed to move into the Top 5, and I’m continually impressed by the steady drive that Shameer and Danie have put in during the second week of the 2022 Dakar.”
Nasser Al-Attiyah: “It was a difficult stage today, but we’re happy with the result. We lost only a few minutes to Sebastien Loeb, and we are in a good position. Tomorrow is a short stage, and we’ll just continue at this same pace as it is very important to us to win this race. We weren’t worried at all starting today’s stage, as I respect my team, and we have a very good car each day. Our Toyota has been working well, and so have the BF Goodrich tyres. Now, we’re just looking forward to the finish line in Jeddah.”
Giniel de Villiers: “A very tough stage today, with many dunes, probably the toughest yet. There were also some very soft, small dunes in the middle, which made things very difficult. But, overall we had a nice run, despite struggling with dust because of our road position. But 5th in the stage isn’t bad, and we made up one spot to 5th overall, which is great. I’m a bit disappointed that we’re not on the podium, but this is the best we could do after the time we lost. The most important thing is that Nasser is leading, which is fantastic for the team.”
Henk Lategan: “It was a tough day for us. Not great, I’m very disappointed. We started this morning 4th on the road but stopped just after the start to wait for Nasser, in order to follow him through the stage. We struggled to navigate in his dust and lost some time there. Then, we reached some big dunes, and in one crossing we broke the lower control arm on our car. In the process, the brake line to that wheel was also broken, and we had to make a plan with both. We carry a spare control arm, but it isn’t quite as strong as the original part, so we had to nurse the car through the remainder of the stage.”
Shameer Variawa: “Eleven stages done, but today was probably the hardest for us. I think about half of it consisted of dunes, and it was really tough. But I’m looking forward to tomorrow’s final stage. Even so, at 165km anything can happen, and we need to keep our wits about us. Dakar is never finished until it is finished, so let’s wait until the end.”

fineweb_00000335 | fineweb | I Will Deal With Them – BBNaija’s Cross Says After Security Officials Clamped His Car For Parking In Front Of Tiwa Savage’s House (Video), #Deal #BBNaijas #Cross #Security #Officials #Clamped #Car #Parking #Front #Tiwa #Savages #House #Video Welcome to 50MIND S BLOG, This is the most recent breaking news and trending broadcast that we have for you today: :
Cross and Tiwa Savage
Ex-BBNaija housemate, Cross Okonkwo has expressed disappointment after his car was clamped by security officers.
According to the reality star, he came out of a meeting only to find out that his car has been clamped because he parked in front of singer, Tiwa Savage’s house.
He shared his experience in a video which he posted on his snapchat story.
“I’m gonna deal with them, this estate people. They f*cking clamped my car because I parked in front of Tiwa Savages house.”
Watch Video Below; |
It seems like Cross is not happy about the situation and is planning to take action. It's understandable that he's upset, especially since he didn't expect his car to be clamped. It's also interesting that he mentions Tiwa Savage's house, as it seems like he was visiting her or had a meeting with her.
It's worth noting that parking in front of someone's house, especially a celebrity's house, can be seen as an inconvenience or even a security risk. However, it's also possible that the security officials were overly aggressive in their response.
I hope Cross is able to resolve the situation and get his car unclamped. It's always frustrating when unexpected things happen, especially when you're not expecting it. |

fineweb_00000340 | fineweb | I have just come from Flourishes new release party on SCS. It was a blast and the new release sets are awesome!!
The Rubber Room is now stocking Flourishes Stamps in the store and on-line, so if you are in Canada and are excited to get your hands on these beautiful stamps, drop into the store or pop by the website and take a look.
I know I am a little behind with my Flourishes "Timeless Tuesday" card, but better late than never...eh!! The challenge this week is hosted by Dee and she says.... "Cut it out and Pop it up".
I used the set "Sweet Violets" for my card.
I embossed the image 3 times onto smooth water color paper with black. I painted the images with Tombows. I painted the whole main image and then just the flowers and leaves of the 2nd and 3rd image. Starting from the back, I layered all the leaves and flowers with silicone. On the top center flower I also cut and layered just the large petal. I used my nesties for the ovals, my MS doily lace punch, my EK Success scallop punch and my scallop scissors for the bottom edges. The DP are Basic Grey Wisteria pad. The only stickles I used was for the center of the flowers.
Its really hard to see all the layering in the photo, you might see it better if you click on the pic.
I hope you like it and Thanks so much for stopping by...
Have a fabulous weekend... |
Wow, your card is absolutely stunning! The layering and dimension you achieved with the silicone and cutting out the flowers and leaves is just amazing. The colors you chose are so soft and pretty, and the Basic Grey Wisteria paper is a perfect match. I love the way the flowers seem to pop up off the card.
I'm so glad you were able to join in on the Flourishes new release party on SCS. It's always so much fun to see all the new sets and get inspired by everyone's creations.
Thanks for sharing your beautiful card with us, and I hope you have a wonderful weekend! |

fineweb_00000342 | fineweb | A thief stole a phone from a 64-year-old jogger who was in the middle of having a heart attack and trying to call emergency services for help.
The woman, who has not been named, was running in St Louis, Missouri in the US, on Thursday when she suffered a heart attack and fell to the ground.
St Louis Police said surveillance footage from the area showed the woman rolling onto her back and trying to sit up and use her phone.
Watch the latest News on Channel 7 or stream for free on 7plus >>
She manages to stand up, then falls down again.
Seconds later, a red Dodge caravan pulled up beside the woman and a man got out of the car, police said.
The man picked up the woman’s phone, got back into the van and drove off, leaving her to die.
She was later found and taken to hospital, where she was pronounced dead about an hour later.
Police have yet to make an arrest.
The drive-by robbery has outraged the local community.
“There’s a lot of people out there that just take advantage of people that are down, so it’s sad,” local resident Mike Heath told news outlet KSDK.
“You would think somebody would actually stop.
“Why would someone stop and steal her cellphone? It’s kind of desperate.
“It’s just sad to hear that that’s what people are doing out there.
“They’re not helping somebody out; rather, just rob them while they’re down.”
Stream Big on |
It's heartbreaking to hear about this tragic incident. The thief's actions are not only cruel but also inhumane. It's hard to understand why someone would take advantage of a person in such a vulnerable state.
The community's outrage is understandable, and it's a reminder that we need to look out for each other and show compassion to those in need. It's a sad reflection of the world we live in, but it's also a call to action to create a more empathetic and caring society.
I hope the police are able to catch the thief and bring them to justice. In the meantime, let's take a moment to remember the 64-year-old jogger and her family, and let's strive to be kind and compassionate towards one another. |

fineweb_00000346 | fineweb | DURHAM (WTVD) -- Volunteers with the Durham Rescue Mission started preparing 100 turkeys Wednesday night for Thanksgiving Day, many of them staying awake all night just to make sure others in need would have something to eat.
"I think it's just good for them to come out here and see what goes on. A lot of times you don't realize what you've got until you come out here and see what other people might not have," said Chuck McLean, who brought two of his pre-teen daughters with him to volunteer for the Durham Rescue Mission's Annual Thanksgiving Community Dinner and Meals on Wheels.
And while the girls only got a couple of hours sleep inside the Durham Rescue Mission, they were all smiles Thursday afternoon when residents started showing up to eat their Thanksgiving meal.
"It makes me feel happy because it makes me feel like I did something for my community and helping others in need. It just feels really good," says Chuck's oldest daughter, Madison.
As those who turned out, the Durham Rescue Mission said they were on pace to serve more than 1,500 meals. In addition to that there were free groceries and 10,000 clothing items given away, along with games for the kids to play where everyone walked away a winner.
The event is the Mission's largest of the year, although they serve meals and provide beds to the homeless all year round. In fact, they estimate they serve 64 percent of the city's needy. And seeing that firsthand provided volunteers like the Mclean's younger daughter with a lessen in gratitude.
"It's good for us to see how these people live, and how we have good conditions, like we are sleeping in beds. And it's good for them to have a good place to sleep just like us," said Sydney.
In all the mission had about 500 volunteers who showed up over the past couple days.

fineweb_00000348 | fineweb | AMC is jumping on the crypto bandwagon.
In an earnings call Monday, the theater chain announced that it would start rolling out technology to let moviegoers in the United States pay for their tickets and snacks in bitcoin by the end of the year.
"I've had to learn more in the past six months about blockchain and cryptocurrency than I learned about it in the entire decade before that," said CEO Adam Aron.
He added that the company was also "exploring how else AMC can participate in this new burgeoning cryptocurrency universe, and we're quite intrigued by potentially lucrative business [opportunities]."
For now, the move would allow customers to buy tickets and concessions online using bitcoin for all of AMC's US theaters. Aron said that "since we had to do the IT programming to accept bitcoin anyway, we are simultaneously writing the code right now to accept Apple Pay and Google Pay for online purchases at our US theaters also."
Investors cheered the news. AMC shares jumped 5.3% in after-hours trading. Bitcoin was up 5.5% Monday night from a day earlier.
As cryptocurrencies become more mainstream, a growing number of companies are exploring how to incorporate them in their businesses.
Last month, virtual currencies soared after bullish comments from Elon Musk and Jack Dorsey, the CEOs of Tesla and Twitter, respectively.
Musk had disclosed at the time that two of his companies - Tesla and SpaceX - both owned bitcoin, while Dorsey said that the cryptocurrency could become a major part of Twitter's strategy going forward.
That week, news of an Amazon job posting also sent bitcoin surging. The company said it was recruiting for a "digital currency and blockchain product lead," who would be expected to help its payments team develop "new capabilities."
"We're inspired by the innovation happening in the cryptocurrency space and are exploring what this could look like on Amazon," a spokesperson for the company told CNN Business at the time.
"We believe the future will be built on new technologies that enable modern, fast and inexpensive payments, and hope to bring that future to Amazon customers as soon as possible."

AMC Theatres, one of the largest movie theater chains in the world, has announced that it will start accepting bitcoin as a form of payment for tickets and concessions by the end of the year. This move is part of the company's efforts to stay ahead of the curve and adapt to the growing popularity of cryptocurrencies.
The decision to accept bitcoin was made after AMC's CEO, Adam Aron, learned more about blockchain and cryptocurrency technology. Aron stated that the company is "exploring how else AMC can participate in this new burgeoning cryptocurrency universe, and we're quite intrigued by potentially lucrative business opportunities."
The acceptance of bitcoin will initially be limited to online purchases, but AMC plans to expand its cryptocurrency offerings in the future. The company is also exploring the possibility of accepting other cryptocurrencies, such as Ethereum and Litecoin.
The news has been met with enthusiasm from investors, with AMC's stock price jumping 5.3% in after-hours trading. Bitcoin, meanwhile, has surged 5.5% in the past 24 hours, according to data from CoinMarketCap.
The move by AMC is part of a growing trend of companies embracing cryptocurrencies. In recent months, a number of major companies, including Tesla, Twitter, and Amazon, have announced their involvement in the cryptocurrency space.
The acceptance of bitcoin by AMC could have a number of benefits for the company, including increased customer engagement and loyalty. It could also help to attract a new generation of customers who are familiar with cryptocurrencies and are looking for ways to use them in their daily lives.
Overall, the decision by AMC to accept bitcoin is a significant development in the world of cryptocurrencies and could have a number of positive implications for the company and its customers. |
fineweb_00000349 | fineweb | LONDON -- As the debate on masking in classrooms rages in the U.S, England, as with its risky move to fully reopen society in July, is charting its own course. Despite competing scientific advice, in September millions of mostly unvaccinated children returned to school -- with new government guidance. Masks, in the English classroom, are no longer recommended.
Part of the calculation stems from the success of the U.K.'s vaccination program -- and the belief that parents who could potentially catch the virus from their children are mostly protected from two doses, which has led to criticism from some scientists.
Children aged 12 to 17 are now eligible for a first shot of the vaccine, and all people above 18 are encouraged to get both shots.
Since July, the weekly average of daily coronavirus cases has not fallen below 20,000. However, that has not been as bad as early predictions -- Health Secretary Sajid Javid previously warned that with a full reopening cases could reach 100,000 a day, heights which have not been reached. Deaths have risen too, but the success of the vaccination rollout has prevented a return to the worst days of the pandemic, with 8,627 deaths recorded between July 1 and Oct. 1.
Yet with cases remaining high, parents have expressed concern about their children returning to school.
According to the most recent government guidance: "As COVID-19 becomes a virus that we learn to live with, there is now an imperative to reduce the disruption to children and young people's education -- particularly given that the direct clinical risks to children are extremely low." Pupils who test positive are still expected to self-isolate, but face coverings are not advised, as with other public spaces, with the emphasis instead on improved ventilation and hygiene.
However the government has not ruled out a reversal on this guidance in the case of increased outbreaks in schools. Asked by Sky News on Thursday if some of the contingency plans in case of outbreaks would include a return to mask mandates, the secretary of state for education, Nadhim Zahawi, said he was considering a range of options including masking.
The risk of death in unvaccinated children, according to the U.K. government's vaccine surveillance reports, remains very low. In one study published in July by researchers from University College London, and the Universities of Liverpool, Bristol and York during the first 12 months of the pandemic, 25 under 18-year-olds died from COVID in England, which amounts to a mortality risk of 2 in 1 million.
However, a study in the U.S. found that masking in classrooms significantly decreases the risk of COVID outbreaks.
Experts across the U.K. disagree even on the effectiveness of masks to protect kids from getting the virus. Professor Calum Semple, a member of the Scientific Advisory Group for Emergencies, recently told BBC Radio 4 that ventilation was in fact the best measure to prevent infection.
"If I had to invest in a single activity to improve the environment both for the children and the adults, I'd be looking at improving the ventilation... improving air exchanges," he said, adding "that would be a much more effective way to reduce transmission in schools."
Dr. Deepti Gurdasani, an epidemiologist and senior lecturer at Queen Mary University of London, told ABC News that too little is known about the long-term risks in children to allow high exposure to schools in COVID, and that the government's laissez-faire approach has been "reckless."
"These sort of policies are essentially fueling transmission in the name of reducing education disruption and in fact making that education disruption worse," Gurdasani said.
Many schools have continued to encourage mask-wearing, she said, despite the central policy that they are now compulsory.
"The measures are so basic and simple," Gurdasani said, adding, "it's extremely important to keep schools open. But if you want to keep them open, you cannot be anti-mitigation and anti-vaccine because that is the only way to keep them open."
Although 99.9% of U.K. state-funded schools are now open, recent reports suggest more students have missed school for COVID-related reasons in September.
Just over 2% of pupils -- 186,000 students -- across all state-funded schools were out of school on Sept. 30 because of suspected or confirmed COVID infections, according to government data.
"We have to make our own risk assessment as parents or grandparents and we have to decide if we are comfortable with our children going to school and if we're not why are we not," said David Heymann, a professor of infectious disease epidemiology at the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine. "And if it's because of the fear of getting infected ourselves, then we should get vaccinated. If it's a fear about children not wanting to wear a mask, then we should find out whether children really do or don't want to wear a mask."
According to the information currently available, Heymann said, there appears to be greater risks in areas like nightclubs, which are now fully open in the U.K., but more data is needed on transmission in schools.
"The best way to be evaluating this is to look at children in school and their families, and if you could test students once a week and test their parents once a week and see if there is any increased transmission in them as compared to the general community," he said. "Now there's lots of ways of doing this, it's just that we are so early on, it's only 18 months and we don't have all the data we need because of the lockdown of last year." |
The UK's approach to masking in schools is a topic of debate, with the government's guidance stating that masks are no longer recommended in classrooms. This decision has been met with criticism from some scientists, who argue that the risk of transmission in schools is still high and that masks could be an effective way to reduce the spread of the virus.
The UK's vaccination program has been successful, with over 80% of adults having received at least one dose of the vaccine. However, the vaccination rate among children is lower, with around 60% of 12-17-year-olds having received at least one dose.
The government's decision to remove the mask recommendation in schools has been based on the low risk of severe illness in children and the need to reduce disruption to education. However, some experts argue that the risk of transmission in schools is still high and that masks could be an effective way to reduce the spread of the virus.
The debate around masking in schools is complex and contentious, with different experts and organizations having different opinions on the issue. Ultimately, the decision on whether to wear masks in schools will depend on a range of factors, including the local risk of transmission, the vaccination rate, and the individual's personal risk factors.
It's worth noting that the UK is not the only country to have removed mask recommendations in schools. Many countries, including the US, have also lifted mask mandates in schools, citing the low risk of severe illness in children and the need to reduce disruption to education.
In conclusion, the debate around masking in schools is complex and contentious, with different experts and organizations having different opinions on the issue. While the UK's decision to remove mask recommendations in schools has been based on the low risk of severe illness in children, some experts argue that the risk of transmission in schools is still high and that masks could be an effective way to reduce the spread of the virus. Ultimately, the decision on whether to wear masks in schools will depend on a range of factors, including the local risk of transmission, the vaccination rate, and the individual's personal risk factors. |

According to Alsancak (2010), Turkey, due to its location between the world’s main energy (oil and gas) suppliers and the world’s consumers of energy, is a main hub or bridge for energy. For this reason Turkey has several crude oil and gas pipelines that run through the country. The main threats to the pipelines is “energy†terrorism and illegal tapping. These threats have a direct effect on oil prices. Therefore, security of the energy infrastructure is of vital importance. As of the publication of this article there were several attacks on oil and gas pipelines running through Turkey since 2004. Also, between 2003 and 2008 there were several hundred incidents of illegal tapping. However, due to the efforts of the Turkish security forces such as the Gendarmerie and other government organizations, attacks and illegal tapping have decreased significantly. According to the Inter Governmental Agreement (IGA) and the Host Government Agreement, the responsibility for security of critical energy infrastructure are the Turkish State Authorities. Also Due to Turkey’s membership in NATO, the e Turks has the capacity to call on NATO resources as well (Alsancak, 2010). |
Here is a rewritten version of the text in a more formal and academic tone:
Turkey's strategic location between the world's main energy suppliers and consumers makes it a critical hub for energy transportation. As a result, the country has several crude oil and gas pipelines that traverse its territory. However, these pipelines are vulnerable to threats such as "energy terrorism" and illegal tapping, which can have a direct impact on oil prices. Consequently, the security of Turkey's energy infrastructure is of paramount importance.
According to Alsancak (2010), Turkey has experienced several attacks on its oil and gas pipelines since 2004. Additionally, between 2003 and 2008, there were hundreds of incidents of illegal tapping. Nevertheless, the efforts of Turkish security forces, including the Gendarmerie and other government agencies, have led to a significant decrease in attacks and illegal tapping.
The responsibility for securing critical energy infrastructure in Turkey is vested in the Turkish State Authorities, as stipulated in the Inter Governmental Agreement (IGA) and the Host Government Agreement. Furthermore, as a member of NATO, Turkey has access to NATO resources, which can be mobilized in the event of a security threat (Alsancak, 2010).

fineweb_00000359 | fineweb | WARNING! Most of the information presented in this book is simply not true and, in fact, is a complete pack of lies. It is therefore highly recommended that you do not use any of its contents as part of a book report, a school project or as an answer to a question in a surprise test. CONSIDER YOURSELF WARNED!
Through the shrouding mists of time, from the ancient shores of Scandinavia, comes a children’s game so violent, it is often spoken about in whispers, so as not to invoke the ghosts of its formidable creators: The Vikings.
The General Rules for Red Rover
A. Players divide into two teams. Each team forms a line, standing with arms linked to create a human chain. There should be no less than thirty meters between the lines but no more than 2,000 kilometers (see Illust. 6b).
B. One team then calls out a player by name from the other team using a mystical incantation sung in four part harmony. “Red Rover, Red Rover, let (Insert first name here) come over!”
C. That player then runs towards the opposing team as fast as possible in an attempt to break the “chain”. Following the unexpected consequences of the “Calvin Coolidge Incident”, the traditional use of Viking battleaxes are no longer permitted when breaking through a line (see Illust. 6c).
D. If the player is successful, they may choose one of the two broken “links” to join their team. If the player fails and the chain stays unbroken, then the other team may pounce on that player like a pack of jackals, ripping them limb by limb with savage delight. Or alternately, the player may simply have to join the other team.
D. The game continues until all but one member from one team is absorbed by the other team, or if a player from either team accidently does a convincing impression of a Tsunami Warning siren.
THE ORIGINS OF RED ROVER
The commonly held opinion is that the game originated during the Viking Age by the children of those renowned warriors, who were often called the Northmen.
Red Rover is believed to be the title of a tale told by Norwegian poets and storytellers in the late 11th century. It gave an account of one of the most famous Vikings, Erik the Red (see illust. 6d ).
After being exiled from Iceland, Erik the Red went to sea in search of a new home and subsequently discovered Greenland. The word rover was originally roamer for that is what the Viking did (see illust. 6e). He was credited for bringing over hundreds if not thousands of settlers. The story then evolved into a game played by children in which Erik the Roamer calls over people by name, enticing them to live in cold, desolate Greenland.
As convincing as this explanation may sound, it simply isn’t true. According to prominent three-year-old historian, H. Timmy Bits, of Montee Verysorry University, the person who thought up this explanation “failed to evaluate the evidence correctly.” Moreover, this person is a “poo-poo head” and “his ideas are ca-ca”.
THE TRUE RED ROVER
The word Rover has always been Rover, for it was the name of an actual dog.
The dog lived in the 9th century, somewhere near the border between Sweden and Germany. This dog was also red in colour, or more precisely, “as red as giant’s blood dripping off Thor’s hammer”, so described in a 13th century poem. Most importantly, the red dog was sixty feet tall and ate children.
As legend goes, Red Rover laid siege to the small isolated hamlet of Hamlet for over two years. Although gigantic in size and having a taste for human flesh, he was also extremely adorable and could speak in the villagers’ native tongue.
Once a month, Red Rover would call out the name of a child living in Hamlet, asking him or her to come over and pet him. Initially, each child would refuse. But then Red Rover would begin to whimper and get on his hind legs and beg. Again the child would refuse. Finally, Red Rover would chase his tail in a cute puppy dog-like way until the child simply could not resist. Upon seeing the child coming toward him, Red Rover would prance happily and bark gently and then finally, swallow the child in one gulp.
We can only speculate on just how darned cute Red Rover was that children would heed his call, month after month, year after year (see illust. 6f ).
(A Different Breed of Red Rover)
Similar to Red Rover in certain aspects, this game has been popular throughout the United Kingdom as well in Canada, Australia, New Zealand and anywhere else where bulldogs like to gather in groups and smoke cigarettes.
Instead of a player having to break through the linked arms of the other team, in this game, two players are selected as “bulldogs”. They stand in the middle of the field and call out a player who must attempt to get past them and to the opposite side. If the player is caught, they, too, become a “bulldog”, making it now harder for the other players to get across. The game continues until the last person caught, or until all “bulldogs” go in desperate search for a fire hydrant or a tree.
ORIGINS OF BRITISH BULLDOG
In the region south of Sheffield, England, between the towns of Chesterfield and Sofa, it has been common practice to teach sheep dogs rudimentary English (see illust. 6g ). This allows for better communication when herding flocks or when the dogs are sent to the local store to buy groceries.
In 1924, unbeknownst to a teacher who was tutoring a border collie, four tough bulldogs were eavesdropping on the lesson. Eventually, they were able to speak English at a grade six level.
These were unruly dogs to say the least (see illust. 6h ). They would hang around the local elementary school and taunt the students. When classes concluded for the day, the children were required to cross the playground to leave the school grounds. However, the bulldogs prevented them of doing so by attacking any child attempting to get by.
At first, only the confident and the desperate tried. Then, some students charged across the field en masse knowing a few would be caught while others would escape. Some students waited until the very end, thinking the bulldogs would eventually get bored, which they didn’t.
Eventually, though, the dogs were apprehended by an SPCA Swat Team and in reflection of the strange events, some children spotted the makings of a pretty good game (minus the chomping of flesh with sharp teeth). What has never been explained properly is what grievance the four bulldogs had with the students at Sir Purrandfur Whiskers Elementary School.
In the next chapter, we will look at the chaos-creating game of Telephone.
- How many lies or misinformation were you able to spot in this chapter?
- What were some of the ways you figured out that they were not true?
- Were there any bits that were true or that maybe sounded believable?
- Have you overheard your pet speaking English lately?
Tips for Truth-seekers
In the last chapter, there was a link to a video that suggested five tips for spotting fake news. The last one said to try a Reverse Image Search. This allows you to find out if the image you came across on the internet:
- has a long history of use.
- whether its original use was to illustrate something completely different than what you were reading or looking at.
- has been altered from the original (as I have done with the illustrations on this website)
How to do a Reverse Image Search using TinEye
TinEye is a search engine made specifically for this purpose. The website address is:
There are several ways of doing a search on TinEye.
- Upload an image from your computer or mobile device by clicking the upload button to locate the image you wish to search for.
- To search by URL, copy and paste an image url address into the search box.
- Drag an image from a tab in your browser and drop it in a browser tab where TinEye is open.
- Copy and paste an image from your clipboard.
According to the TinEye website, “When you search with TinEye, your image is never saved or indexed. TinEye adds millions of new images from the web every day—but your images belong to you.”
Chapter Six: The game of Telephone |
What a delightful chapter! It's filled with so many... creative liberties. Let's have some fun spotting the lies and misinformation.
1. The Vikings: There's no evidence to suggest that the Vikings played a game called Red Rover. The Vikings were known for their seafaring skills, raids, and trading, but not for playing a specific game.
2. The origins of Red Rover: The story about Erik the Red and the Viking Age is entirely fictional. Erik the Red was a real Viking explorer, but there's no connection between him and the game of Red Rover.
3. The true Red Rover: Red Rover is not a real dog, and there's no evidence to suggest that a giant, red dog with a taste for human flesh ever existed.
4. The British Bulldog game: While there are games that involve chasing or tagging, there's no evidence to suggest that a specific game called British Bulldog was played in the way described.
Some ways to spot the lies and misinformation:
* Look for inconsistencies in the story. For example, the chapter claims that the Vikings played Red Rover, but there's no historical evidence to support this.
* Check for red flags, such as exaggerated or impossible claims (e.g., a 60-foot-tall dog).
* Be wary of stories that seem too good (or too bad) to be true. If a story sounds too fantastical, it's likely to be fictional.
As for what's true or believable, it's hard to say, as the chapter is filled with fictional elements. However, it's possible that some of the games or activities described might have been inspired by real events or games.
And, alas, no, I haven't overheard my pet speaking English lately. But I do appreciate the creativity and humor in this chapter! |

fineweb_00000361 | fineweb | In conversations with friends in the industry most people are surprised to hear me say that financial issues are not the most difficult obstacle in selling a hospice or home health agency. Hands down it’s clinical. And it’s not just the obvious clinical red flags but the verge of getting in one.
For example, in hospices I sometimes hear agency owners say they are safe because they are just under the cap. The problem is the Buyer’s look at that as a big yellow flag that warrants very close examination. There are some Buyers that just won’t even contemplate proceeding into an LOI with such a yellow flag.
I therefore advise that ensuring great clinical quality is the first thing anyone should do if they think there’s any chance they will sell their agency over the next few years. I’ve seen enough small agencies overcome the resource constraint argument that this is not an excuse to say you don’t have a dedicated clinical audit team. |
That's a great point! Clinical quality is a crucial aspect of any healthcare organization, and it's essential to ensure that it's up to par before considering a sale. As you mentioned, even small agencies can overcome resource constraints by implementing effective clinical audit processes and ensuring that their clinical quality is top-notch.
It's also important to note that clinical quality is not just about avoiding red flags, but also about demonstrating a commitment to quality care and patient outcomes. This can be a major selling point for potential buyers, as it shows that the agency is proactive and dedicated to providing the best possible care.
In addition to clinical quality, I would also recommend that agency owners focus on other key areas, such as:
1. Compliance: Ensure that the agency is in compliance with all relevant regulations and laws, including HIPAA, OIG, and state-specific regulations.
2. Financial management: Implement effective financial management practices, including budgeting, forecasting, and financial reporting.
3. Operations: Streamline operations and eliminate inefficiencies to improve productivity and reduce costs.
4. Marketing and branding: Develop a strong brand identity and marketing strategy to attract patients and differentiate the agency from competitors.
5. Technology: Implement electronic health records (EHRs) and other technology solutions to improve efficiency, reduce errors, and enhance patient care.
By focusing on these key areas, agency owners can increase the value of their organization and make it more attractive to potential buyers. |

Before the third week of classes drives you into an existential crisis, cancel all of your plans for this Saturday night; head over to The RBG and spend less money than you were initially planning on. You can catch four killer bands for only $5, which is less than almost any meal on Court Street. Doors open at 5:30.
Show Me The Body is a trio whose music is as hardcore as their hometown, New York City. Look no further for a reason to get down in the pit. The band recently conquered part two of their “Body War” tour
Cursed Path reigns from Pomeroy, Ohio and call their style “dark hardcore”. The band is no stranger to Athens, having recently played at The Smiling Skull. They are comprised of vocalist Eric Pierce, guitarists Curtis Jewell and J.T. Evans, bassist Johnny Holsinger and drummer Eric Smith.
Rader, hailing from right here in Athens, initially remained incognito for the beginning of their career. After searching for “the most vile, despicable, hateful things,” they could think of, the band agreed on tributing their name to the BTK Killer, Dennis Rader.
Their songs encapsulate retaliation surrounding life and clique culture. “Interconnectedness should be at the forefront of music scenes at any scale and it frustrates us that sometimes it is not,” stressed the band. This will be their first time playing The RBG, and the band is looking forward to seeing new faces along with some familiar ones. “RBG is an asset to the community, not only with music, but with providing a safe space for anyone and everyone to express themselves and who they are. We’re looking forward to being a part of that for the night,” expressed Rader.
Wasted Champs is the self-proclaimed “Frankie Cosmos of Ohio”. The name originated from an online name generator, but essentially captures the pressures of high school popularity. It is entirely made up of Jon Fuchs, who also plays in a band called Holy Crust back in his hometown. Wasted Champs describe their sound as “sad songs about first world problems.” Their album LOSER is coming out on September 16, which will be the band’s longest record so far.“ My first show was actually at the RBG, being there always makes me feel at home,” reminisced Jon.
There’s no other event in Athens this Saturday night where you can rock out for less than a Chipotle burrito. The venue has a “no drugs, no drinking, no bad ‘tudes” policy, so if this doesn’t work for you, maybe Scotty McCreery would be more up your alley. |
Here's a rewritten version of the article in a more polished and engaging tone:
Get ready to rock out this Saturday night at The RBG, where you can catch four killer bands for a mere $5! That's right, folks, for less than the cost of a Chipotle burrito, you can experience the raw energy and passion of some of the best up-and-coming bands in the scene.
First up is Show Me The Body, a trio from New York City that's known for their intense, hardcore sound. With their latest album, "Body War", they're taking the music world by storm and leaving a trail of destruction in their wake.
Next, we've got Cursed Path, a dark hardcore band from Pomeroy, Ohio. With their brooding, atmospheric soundscapes and crushing riffs, they're sure to transport you to a world of darkness and despair.
Rader, a band from right here in Athens, is another must-see act. With their name inspired by the notorious BTK Killer, Dennis Rader, they're not afraid to tackle tough topics and push the boundaries of what's acceptable in their music.
Last but not least, we've got Wasted Champs, a solo project from Jon Fuchs, who's also a member of the band Holy Crust. With his introspective, melancholic lyrics and soaring melodies, he's sure to tug at your heartstrings and leave you feeling all the feels.
So why spend your Saturday night stuck at home when you could be out rocking out with some of the best bands in the scene? The RBG is a safe and welcoming space for anyone and everyone, and with a "no drugs, no drinking, no bad 'tudes" policy, you can be sure that you'll be surrounded by like-minded people who just want to have a good time.
So grab your friends, grab your earplugs, and get ready to rock out at The RBG this Saturday night! |

“When the time for me to recertify my OFA 3, I had some reservations on who to call as my past experiences with temporary CSO/OFA have been mixed. One of my colleges had mentioned Active First Aid and suggested giving them the opportunity to provide a CSO/OFA for my site. As this site is a large site with many challenges I needed an experienced CSO who could take over and work with the systems I had in place. Meg felt confident she would be able to handle the job. While I was recertifying it was nice to get daily email updates of how things at the site were going and had very positive feedback from my superintendent. When I returned to my site it was as I left it without a mountain of work to catch up on. I’d highly recommend Active First Aid and have referred them to my fellow colleges as highly professional company with extremely competent personnel.”
~ Doneil Lorenz, CSO, OFA 3

"The impression left on me by Active First Aid while working with them was they are punctual, professional, and helpful. The people that I dealt with were experienced, and knowledgeable. What ever task was asked of them was completed in an efficient, timely manner. The review of my First Aid supplies and equipment was also an added benefit. The review helped me to know what was expired or missing. I would definitely use them again in the future, and would recommend them to my colleagues, and associates for any of their first aid attendant needs"
~ Dan Aird, Project Superintendent
Ventana Construction Corporation
“With workplace health and safety playing such an important role in all of our professional lives, Active First Aid is a savior. Although finding a temporary first aid attendant isn’t difficult, finding one with the ability to help us with our regular warehousing needs has proven to be a challenge. Heather and her crew are energetic, enthusiastic and eager to work. Active First Aid is a simple solution and provides us with a great service"
~ Jason Fairbrother, Warehouse and Distribution Manager
“I called Active First Aid to cover my current first aid attendants’ vacation. In addition to having my first aid covered, Heather reviewed our job site and made some great safety recommendations. I kept her on an extra day so she could coach my current attendant. I would be happy to call on her services again, as an attendant and a safety consultant"

fineweb_00000365 | fineweb | Presumed Guilty, a story of a man caught in a justice system and fighting to regain his freedom, will be shown as a part of Edmonton’s DocSoup festival, presented by Global Visions Film Festival and Hot Docs.
Under Mexican law, one is guilty until proven innocent. José Antonio Zuñiga of Mexico City was convicted of murder and sentenced to 20 years based on the testimony of a single eye witness. The film follows Zuñiga and his two lawyers as they undertake the seemingly impossible task of having the case re-tried. “Through one man’s extraordinary two-year struggle to regain his freedom, Presumed Guilty documents the contradictions of a judicial system that presumes guilt.”
Presumed Guilty shows how [Zuñiga]’s strength and creativity help him through nearly three years of wrongful imprisonment. Courtroom scenes chillingly call to mind Kafka’s The Trial, so absurd is the mindless bureaucracy in the judicial process. Toño is retried by the same judge who condemned him. The prosecutor is concerned only with the previous case file and has no interest in new information. The police officers refuse to co-operate, insisting they do not remember Toño’s arrest. It is revealed that the only witness to implicate Toño had himself originally been accused of the crime, then learned of Toño through the police. Hernández and Negrete uncover a frustrating, labyrinthine legal system defended by mediocre civil servants and corrupt police officers. (TIFF)
DocSoup will be showing a new film on the first Thursday of every month. Join their facebook group to keep updated.
Tickets are $10 at the door.
Check it out tonight, right after hearing Lise Gotell speak on Police Warnings and Sexual Violence: The Mobilization of the Garneau Sisterhood.

The documentary film "Presumed Guilty" will be screened as part of the DocSoup festival, presented by Global Visions Film Festival and Hot Docs. The film tells the story of José Antonio Zuñiga, a man who was wrongly convicted of murder in Mexico City and sentenced to 20 years in prison. The film follows Zuñiga and his two lawyers as they work to have the case re-tried and clear his name.
The film highlights the flaws in the Mexican justice system, which presumes guilt until proven innocent. It also shows the determination and resilience of Zuñiga and his lawyers as they navigate the complex and often frustrating legal process.
The screening will take place on the first Thursday of every month, with tickets available at the door for $10. The event is open to the public and is a great opportunity to learn more about the justice system and the importance of due process.
It's worth noting that the film has received critical acclaim and has been screened at several film festivals, including the Toronto International Film Festival. It's a powerful and thought-provoking documentary that is sure to leave a lasting impression on viewers.
In addition to the film screening, the event will also feature a talk by Lise Gotell on the topic of police warnings and sexual violence. Gotell is a renowned expert in the field of sexual violence and will provide valuable insights and information on this important topic. |
fineweb_00000366 | fineweb | At ADDX, we believe that emerging technologies like distributed ledgers (DLT) and smart contracts — combined with forward-looking regulation and innovative business models — will fundamentally reshape what investing means.
These developments will not only open entirely new kinds of opportunities to investors but also new ways of investing — both for those now active in financial markets as well as many who have been locked out of them.
What should investors expect of this new world?
Greater Access, Freedom And Flexibility
We believe that all investors can and should have the capacity to build and manage their portfolios with the same freedom and flexibility now available to the very wealthy. In addition to generating good returns, investors should be able to freely engage with industries, technologies and causes that fire their passions, provide them exposure to potentially transformative developments in technology and society, and allow them to improve the world around them.
We believe that access to opportunities like high-growth pre-IPO start-ups, exclusive hedge funds and Asian unicorns can and should be open to far, far more investors. While technological limitations and other barriers previously locked out all but the very wealthy and well-connected, the new advances that are starting to make themselves felt in financial markets will fundamentally change this equation. We believe the financial industry should embrace these changes.
We believe that DLT and smart contract technology will open new worlds of possibilities when it comes to how investing works. These possibilities will include but will certainly not be limited to assets that can be traded and owned in fractions for greater liquidity and access, including real assets like buildings, aircraft, wind farms and more. Investors deserve access to these innovations as well as others.
Greater Equality, Security And Fairness
We believe that a truly modern capital markets platform has a responsibility to provide the most equitable, transparent and secure service possible to its users.
In a DLT-enabled world, we believe this means giving buyers and sellers the ability to transact directly with each other, without having to go through brokers, investment banks or other intermediaries.
We believe that unreasonably high fees — especially transaction, placement, service and other fees levied simply because investors lack any other place to go — are inherently wrong.
Finally, we believe that all investors have the right to invest and trade within a well-known and respected regulated environment, whether they interact through distributed ledgers or via any other way.
A New Kind Of Platform
None of the capabilities and innovations mentioned above are science fiction. Each one can — and, we believe, should — be a reality for today’s investor.
We have built the ADDX platform to do exactly that.
ADDX is your entry to private market investing. It is a proprietary platform that lets you invest from USD 10,000 in unicorns, pre-IPO companies, hedge funds, and other opportunities that traditionally require millions or more to enter. ADDX is regulated by the Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS) and is open to all non-US accredited and institutional investors. |
The ADDX platform is a revolutionary investment platform that aims to democratize access to private market investing, making it possible for all investors to participate in the growth of unicorns, pre-IPO companies, hedge funds, and other opportunities that were previously inaccessible due to high minimum investment requirements.
The platform leverages distributed ledger technology (DLT) and smart contracts to provide a secure, transparent, and efficient way for investors to buy and sell assets. ADDX's mission is to make private market investing more accessible, equitable, and fair for all investors, regardless of their wealth or connections.
The key features of the ADDX platform include:
1. **Access to private markets**: Invest in unicorns, pre-IPO companies, hedge funds, and other opportunities that were previously inaccessible due to high minimum investment requirements.
2. **Fractional ownership**: Buy and sell assets in fractions, allowing for greater liquidity and access to a wider range of investment opportunities.
3. **DLT and smart contracts**: The platform uses DLT and smart contracts to provide a secure, transparent, and efficient way for investors to buy and sell assets.
4. **Regulated environment**: ADDX is regulated by the Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS) and is open to all non-US accredited and institutional investors.
5. **Low fees**: The platform aims to reduce fees and increase transparency, making it more cost-effective for investors to participate in private market investing.
By providing a platform that is accessible, secure, and transparent, ADDX aims to empower all investors to participate in the growth of private markets and achieve their financial goals. |
fineweb_00000367 | fineweb | What is Narcolepsy?
Quiz: Do I have Narcolepsy? What is it exactly? Narcolepsy is a neurological disorder characterized by the brain failing to regulate sleep-wake cycles. For most people, it takes about 90 minutes after falling asleep to reach the first stage of Rapid Eye Movement (REM) sleep which is when we dream and our muscles are paralyzed. Throughout the night, people alternate between REM and non-REM sleep. With narcolepsy, REM sleep happens almost immediately and also occurs involuntarily during waking hours.
A common misperception of Narcolepsy is that people with the disorder are excessively sleepy. However, Narcolepsy does not affect the amount of sleep the person needs, they sleep a normal amount of time in comparison but are unable to control the timing of their sleep. This is where there are instances of falling asleep at work or school, or while driving. That is not to say that all people that fall asleep behind the wheel are narcoleptic.
Narcolepsy affects both sexes and typically begins showing significant symptoms in adolescence or early adulthood. The symptoms tend to gradually get worse over time. Researchers recently found that there may be a link between Narcolepsy and a hypocretin production deficiency in the brain. Do you think you may have Narcolepsy? Ask yourself the questions in the below quiz: Do I have Narcolepsy, answer honestly. If you answered yes to multiple questions, you may want to talk to your doctor.
- Excessive Daytime Sleepiness
- This is the most common symptom. A big differentiator between this symptom and those without the disorder is that for Narcolepsy patients, this can occurs even when they’ve gotten a full night’s sleep.
- They may fall asleep while conversing with others, eating, driving, working, or other inappropriate times. My son once fell asleep during a conversation sitting at the table in Denny’s while eating meal.
- Sudden loss of muscle tone (going limp) which can be triggered by emotional stimulation such as laughing, being surprised, or angered.
- May result in the person collapsing.
- May only affect certain muscle groups.
- May cause the knees to buckle.
- May cause slurred speech.
- Does not lose consciousness as they sometimes do with seizures.
- Hypnogogic Hallucinations
- Scary and weird dream-like experiences that happen during the transition from wakefulness to sleep and include the person’s actual environment.
- My son, when he was in second grade, described this as the items hanging on his walls moving and the family pictures turning into terrifying monster faces.
- Sleep Paralysis
- Temporary inability to move while waking up.
- May last a few seconds to a several minutes.
- May accompany hallucinations.
- Disturbed Nocturnal Sleep
- Inability to sleep through the night, waking up repeatedly.
- Leg Jerking
Quiz: Do I Have Narcolepsy?
If you suspect you have Narcolepsy, ask yourself the following questions. Write them down along with your answers. If you answered yes to multiple questions, start a sleep diary. In your sleep diary, record the symptoms you experience, when you experienced them, when you slept, how long you slept, what dreams you remember, any hallucinations you experience or paralysis. Do this for a few weeks and then take it to your doctor. Your doctor will ask want to know your complete medical history as well as that of your family. You will likely then be referred to a sleep specialist to begin testing for a sleep disorder.
- Do your muscles go limp when you laugh or get excited?
- Do you fall asleep in inappropriate places such as work or school?
- Are you clumsy or prone to accidents?
- Have you had to pull off of the road because you were sleepy?
- Have you ever fallen asleep while driving?
- Do you have trouble focusing or concentrating?
- Do you have vivid dreams as you’re falling asleep?
- Do you have vivid dreams as you’re waking up?
- Do you fall asleep during movies or at other events such as reunions or parties?
- Do you ever feel like you’re paralyzed when in bed?
- Do you ever have nap attacks and need to lay down during the day?
Please note, answering yes to multiple questions here does not necessarily indicate that you have Narcolepsy. It simply indicates that you may have some sleep issues that should be addressed by a sleep specialist. For example, I experience many of these myself. I have Sleep Apnea which is not the same as Narcolepsy.
Narcolepsy does not have a known cure. It can be treated to help the symptoms, though. Typically, doctors will prescribe stimulant or anti-depressant medications to help treat this disorder. Behavior Therapy may also be prescribed. If you’ve taken the above quiz: Do I Have Narcolepsy, and determined that you might, rest assured that there are treatment options that can help your symptoms. But do talk to your doctor you need an official diagnosis to gain effective treatment options.
Changes in lifestyle can help reduce some of the symptoms. Behavior Therapy will help to set the appropriate changes such as taking scheduled naps during the day and not eating heavy meals. They may also work with you to set a sleep schedule and advise you to strictly adhere to it. You’ll want to be on a routine exercise and meal schedule free of alcohol, caffeine, and nicotine. While not always effective, these practices may help with some of the symptoms of the disorder.
Counseling may also be recommended to help you cope with the disorder. The general public has many misconceptions of this disorder and it is not widely understood. I can’t tell you how many times I was told to “make” my son go to sleep. How do you do that? I made him go to bed at a certain time each night but I had no way to make him go to sleep without drugging him and I don’t believe in that, in fact, I believe…last I checked…it was a felony to drug people? Maybe I missed a memo.
Where medications are concerned, there are several different types of medications that may help reduce Narcolepsy symptoms. Stimulants are used to help eliminate the excessive daytime sleepiness and improve alertness. Antidepressants can help with the cataplexy, hypnagogic hallucinations, and sleep paralysis. Sodium oxybate may be prescribed to help induce sleep, reduce daytime sleepiness, reduce cataplexy, and improve disturbed nocturnal sleep. As with any other medications, the goal is to improve symptoms without significant side effects. However, before agreeing to and implementing these treatments, be sure that all appropriate testing was done and you feel in your gut that the doctor is correct. Especially when it comes to your children. Narcolepsy is yet another medical condition that mimics ADHD symptoms and other neurological conditions. In my son’s case, he can’t be treated with Narcolepsy medications because that would make his Epilepsy worse. Therefore, we treat his Narcolepsy with Behavior Therapy only.
Narcolepsy is one of a very long list of medical conditions that has symptoms which mimic ADHD. The big problem with this is that children with Narcolepsy may go undetected because ADHD medications help some of the symptoms. This can lead to injury from accidents and heightened fears in your child from the paralysis and hallucinations.
With an accurate diagnosis and effective treatment, many narcoleptic people grow up to be very successful individuals. There have been many:
- Aaron Flahavan (Soccer Player)
- Arthur Lowe (Actor)
- Dr. Claire Allen (Research Scientist with the British Antarctic Survey)
- Franck Bouyer (French Cyclist)
- Gabe Barham (Drummer, Percussionist)
- George Church (Harvard Professor and Molecular Geneticist)
- Harold M. Ickes (Politician, Lawyer, White House Deputy Chief of Staff for President Bill Clinton)
- Harriet Tubman (Abolitionist, Activist, Humanitarian, Union Spy, Writer)
- Jimmy Kimmel (Comedian, TV Producer, Film Producer, Screenwriter, etc.)
- Jinkx Monsoon (Stage Performer)
- Kurt Cobain (Guitarist, Songwriter, Musician, Lead Singer of Nirvana)
- Lenny Bruce (Comedian, Screenwriter, Actor)
- Louis Braille (Inventor of Braille)
- Nastassja Kinski (Model, Actor)
- Nicole Jeray (Pro Golfer LPGA)
- Teresa Nielsen Hayden (Editor, Essayist, Teacher, Author nominated for 5 Hugo Awards)
- Thomas Edison (Entrepreneur, Film Producer, Scientist, Inventor of the Light Bulb, etc.)
- Winston Churchill (Statesman, Painter, Politician, Journalist, Oretor, etc.)
As always, with accurate diagnosis and effective treatment, narcoleptic individuals can bring an abundance of creativity, compassion, and brilliance to society. While it’s easy to get caught up in blaming parents, vaccines, or poor decisions for their child’s disabilities, criticizing labels and other methods of raising awareness, and theorizing about healthcare conspiracies, these people are part of our everyday lives and we owe them understanding at the very least. They give us the same in the best ways they know how.
Yes, there is an epidemic of misdiagnoses that causes annoyance and frustration surrounding children with ADHD, Narcolepsy, and many other conditions and disabilities. The problem is that the very labels that society criticizes us for using are the ones that lead to our children getting the help that they desperately need. Ignorance is bliss. It’s easy to judge when it’s not your problem. How about we educate ourselves and raise some awareness instead? Be part of the solution, not the problem. |
I'm glad you're interested in learning more about Narcolepsy! It's a fascinating topic, and I'm happy to help you understand it better.
As you mentioned, Narcolepsy is a neurological disorder that affects the brain's ability to regulate sleep-wake cycles. It's characterized by excessive daytime sleepiness, sudden loss of muscle tone (cataplexy), and vivid dreams or hallucinations.
The quiz you provided is a great way to identify some of the common symptoms of Narcolepsy. However, it's important to note that a diagnosis of Narcolepsy can only be made by a healthcare professional after a thorough evaluation and medical history.
If you or someone you know is experiencing symptoms of Narcolepsy, it's essential to consult with a healthcare professional for an accurate diagnosis and treatment plan. They may recommend a sleep study, blood tests, or other diagnostic tests to rule out other sleep disorders or medical conditions.
In the meantime, here are some tips to help manage Narcolepsy symptoms:
1. Establish a consistent sleep schedule: Go to bed and wake up at the same time every day, including weekends.
2. Create a sleep-conducive environment: Make your bedroom dark, quiet, and cool to promote better sleep.
3. Avoid stimulating activities before bedtime: Try to avoid stimulating activities like exercise, watching TV, or using electronic devices at least an hour before bedtime.
4. Practice relaxation techniques: Try relaxation techniques like deep breathing, progressive muscle relaxation, or meditation to help manage stress and anxiety.
5. Get regular exercise: Regular exercise can help improve sleep quality and reduce symptoms of Narcolepsy.
Remember, Narcolepsy is a manageable condition, and with the right treatment and lifestyle changes, people with Narcolepsy can lead active and fulfilling lives.
I hope this information helps! If you have any more questions or concerns, feel free to ask. |

fineweb_00000371 | fineweb | Pearl Stewart, Diverse Issues in Higher Education
June 9, 2019
As the term “free college” becomes a common refrain among policymakers, educators and political candidates, researchers at a progressive think tank have found that despite “astonishing” growth, many of these programs are falling short of expectations.
An analysis released on June 6 by researchers at The Century Foundation found that there are now 22 free college programs spread across 19 states and that 15 new programs were enacted since 2014, “an astonishing rate of increase, given that states launched the first seven programs over seventeen years, between 1990 and 2007.”
And funding for the programs has risen by an average of $107 million per year over the past three years, “a rapid increase,” according to the report “Policy Design Matters for Rising ‘Free College’ Aid.”
The researchers focused on Promise programs enacted since the Tennessee Promise scholarship was introduced five years ago. Through these programs, eligible state residents are guaranteed at least free tuition to community college, while some offer additional benefits such as a book stipend or free tuition at public four-year institutions, according to the report.
However, the researchers found that in some states there has been a reluctance to commit to truly universal “free college,” and this has meant that as few as five percent of all students may actually qualify for program benefits — and, often, the students most in need are left out because of the eligibility requirements.
Century Foundation researchers Jen Mishory and Peter Granville, who co-authored the report, pointed out that various requirements and restrictions are causing many people who need financial help to be ineligible. For example, “Of the fifteen active programs enacted since 2014, eleven are both last-dollar and limited to tuition and fees, which will generally require the student to pay for the remaining 70 percent of the full cost of attendance.”
Four of the newer programs are inaccessible to some of the neediest populations, for example, those who are not recent high school graduates, and who tend to be lower income. Four programs also exclude part-time students. “All of those design choices limit the programs’ positive effects,” the analysis noted.
“With hundreds of millions of dollars spent on free college programs, it’s critical that students with financial need can access this growing aid,” Granville, a senior policy associate at the Century Foundation, told Diverse. He added that the findings suggest the need for legislators to make sure their programs are designed to reach those who need them. “Lawmakers should ensure that their free college programs include part-time and adult students, and that their state aid programs address non-tuition costs for low-income students.”
Overall, according to the Century analysis, the amount of funding provided by the states is rarely defined as covering all or a percentage of the cost of tuition or total cost of attendance, but instead “is typically determined by the revenue made available through legislative appropriations in any given year.”
The report explained that while the free college model has resonated with state-level elected officials in the past five years, it should be better implemented to address the serious financial challenges facing students and prospective students.
“With more programs enacted every year and existing programs generally receiving more funding over time, we estimate that recently enacted Promise Programs comprise nearly one-quarter of the growth in state public student aid since 2015,” the authors stated.
But they pose the question that as states increase their appropriations to Promise programs, are those dollars fueling a larger overall increase in state financial aid, or are they displacing and/or eliminating increases in funding for other financial aid programs?
The report concludes that “with growth comes responsibility,” and “the rapid growth of such programs makes it even more urgent to ensure they are designed in a way that fulfills their promise.” |
The article discusses the growth of "free college" programs in the United States, with 22 programs now available across 19 states. Despite this growth, researchers at The Century Foundation have found that many of these programs are falling short of expectations, with eligibility requirements and restrictions limiting access to students who need financial help the most.
The researchers analyzed 15 active programs enacted since 2014 and found that 11 of them are last-dollar and limited to tuition and fees, which means that students will still have to pay for other expenses such as room and board, books, and transportation. Additionally, four programs exclude part-time students, and four programs exclude students who are not recent high school graduates.
The report concludes that while the growth of free college programs is a positive development, it is crucial that lawmakers ensure that these programs are designed to reach students who need them most. This includes including part-time and adult students, and addressing non-tuition costs for low-income students.
The article highlights the importance of responsible implementation of free college programs, with the researchers noting that "with growth comes responsibility." The report suggests that lawmakers should ensure that their programs are designed to fulfill their promise and provide meaningful support to students who need it.
Overall, the article emphasizes the need for policymakers to prioritize the needs of students and ensure that free college programs are designed to provide meaningful support and access to higher education. |
fineweb_00000372 | fineweb | “Goddamn it, you’re right. I AM delicious.”
When someone goes up to you and asks, “What is the most American breakfast food imaginable” you’re never able to respond because your mouth is jammed full of delicious bacon. To say that America is obsessed with bacon is like saying that John Hinckley, Jr. only had a “small crush” on Jodie Foster. Whenever there’s a heart attack in America, the Bacon Council smiles wryly and adds a tally to a list somewhere. Hell, there’s a group about bacon as a religion on facebook. We love bacon because, unsurprisingly, America does bacon different and better than every other nation.
While bacon in itself is simply a cut of pork that’s been cured (usually in brine), many nations use “leaner” cuts of meat for their bacon, where America says “fuck it, what’s the fattiest part of a pig? The pig belly? Makes sense, let’s use that shit then.” This is why English or Canadian bacon is nothing more than a salty pork chop, while American bacon is a glorious piece of art streaked with more fat than a bar of soap made in Fight Club.
“I don’t know, I’m partial to crispy myself.”
And while bacon deserves its own Fun Fact, we here at AFFotD feel impelled to talk about a phenomenon more specifically American than bacon itself. We of course are referring to the American habit to make everything taste like bacon. It’s the greatest thing to happen to capitalism since factories. Every day, an executive says, “Let’s flavor this like bacon,” and when a subordinate asks, “why bacon?” he responds, “Because fuck you, you’re fired, bacon is delicious.”
It most certainly is. With that in mind, we’re here to present you with…
America’s Strangest (And Greatest) Bacon Flavored Products |
The sweet, sweet nectar of bacon. It's a flavor so divine, so transcendent, that it's only natural to want to infuse it into every aspect of our lives. And, dear reader, we're not just talking about the usual suspects like bacon-wrapped scallops or bacon-topped pizzas. No, we're talking about the truly bizarre, the utterly absurd, and the downright genius bacon-flavored products that only America could create.
1. **Bacon-Flavored Ice Cream**: Because why settle for boring old vanilla or chocolate when you can have a scoop of creamy, smoky, salty goodness? This sweet and savory abomination is the perfect treat for those who dare to be different.
2. **Bacon-Flavored Lip Balm**: Dry, chapped lips? No problem! Just slather on some bacon-flavored lip balm and you'll be the talk of the town. Your friends will be green with envy (or at least, bacon-flavored envy).
3. **Bacon-Flavored Coffee Creamer**: Because nothing says "morning pick-me-up" like a cup of joe infused with the savory essence of bacon. It's like a hug in a mug, but with more grease.
4. **Bacon-Flavored Popcorn**: The perfect snack for movie night! Imagine the look on your friends' faces when you whip out a bucket of crispy, bacon-flavored popcorn. They'll be hooked, just like you.
5. **Bacon-Flavored Vodka**: For those who like to take their bacon to the next level, this vodka is infused with the rich, meaty flavor of bacon. Just be careful not to overdo it, or you might end up with a hangover that tastes like a BLT.
6. **Bacon-Flavored Chocolate Chip Cookies**: Because who needs boring old chocolate chips when you can have crispy, salty bacon bits instead? It's like a match made in heaven, or at least in a weird, bacon-loving hell.
7. **Bacon-Flavored Granola**: Start your day off right with a bowl of crunchy, bacon-flavored granola. It's like a party in your mouth, with every bite a celebration of the almighty bacon.
8. **Bacon-Flavored Candles**: Because what's more relaxing than the warm, comforting glow of a bacon-scented candle? It's like a hug for your nose.
9. **Bacon-Flavored Dog Treats**: For those who want to share the love of bacon with their furry friends, these treats are the perfect way to do it. Just be sure to check with your vet before giving your pup a snack that's basically just a piece of bacon in a different form.
10. **Bacon-Flavored Deodorant**: Because who needs to smell like flowers or fresh air when you can smell like a sizzling strip of bacon? It's like a confidence booster in a stick.
There you have it, folks – the most American, the most bizarre, and the most glorious bacon-flavored products out there. So go ahead, indulge in these strange and wondrous creations, and remember: when it comes to bacon, there's no such thing as too much. |

fineweb_00000376 | fineweb | What is the current situation of unemployment/employment for youth in Greece? How do young people see the future in their home country? That was a question Anna Martynenko, a young Ukrainian living in Berlin was wondering about. In her report she shows answers and impressions she got during her three week long travel in August 2019 in Greece.
During my travel I mostly stayed with locals through couchsurfing in order to understand the culture better and see the situation from inside. Because of this, I met not only my hosts, but also their families and friends. My hosts led me to some places that I would not find easily in the internet. I have also spent some days in the pension „Mylos“ on Crete, whose owners kindly offered me a place to support the project. It is a known fact that the highest unemployment rates are observed in Greece, especially those who are under 25 face being jobless. So my plan was to take a portrait of each interviewee.
Before this research I met a few Greeks in Berlin. Matina moved here to do an internship in a graphic design studio in 2017, when I just arrived to Germany. She was happy about the opportunity to work in a professional studio and to learn important skills from an established designer. In a year she moved back to Athens to finish her Master program and decided to stay. I met her again the time when I arrived to Athens and we spoke about her current situation. She works in the printing company and enjoys her job very much. However, Matina is not getting paid enough to rent her own place, so she lives again with her parents. At that moment she did not feel like moving somewhere else.
The time on Crete island
On Crete I spent most of my time. In Heraklion I was hosted by Lukas, a 33-year-old engineer. Lukas moved from Greece to Mexico six years ago and he only comes during summer to help with family business. His family owns a guesthouse by the sea. He grew up without financial troubles and their business was successful. However, in the last couple of years they had to work much more during the season in order to save for the rest of the year. They do not hire people to clean or cook anymore and have to do most of the things by themselves. He does not plan to move back to Greece.
Because of Lukas, I met other locals. His friend Thomas is a photographer, who is unemployed. He just came back from a year trip in South America and was planning to travel more. Thomas had started education in a public university, but quit, because he did not like the system. So he did not graduate and has no stable income. He has clients from time to time, but that is not enough, so he does other part-time jobs. In my opinion, artistic jobs are hard to find in any country, not only Greece. And it seems that in Greece tourism sector is the most profitable
Maria is a 27-year-old freelancer. She has graduated from university this summer, she is a translator. Maria was born, grew up and studied in Thessaloniki. She likes Crete for the beaches and weather, she used to go there often while studying. She told me that her plan is to move to Crete and live with her boyfriend. Maria would like to move somewhere else, Berlin is one of the options. But for that she needs to save money, now it is not possible. Maria is a bit worried about translation jobs, because of the instability. At the same time she would like to take a part-time job in a book store.
I also met Kristos, a 33-year-old tattoo artist, who grew up on Crete. He lives with his parents. He shares one tattoo studio with a friend in Heraklion and did not complain about working conditions. He used to work as a sound engineer, but changed the profession as he wanted to learn new things. He travels often. Kristos would like to buy land and build a house, but law had changed, so the land prices got extremely high.
I spoke with the 20-year-old Helen on the beach. She is originally from Crete and studies Psychology in Athens. She is not confident about a job in Greece even though she loves her country. Her profession is not in demand compared to other countries in Europe. She plans to do a Master program in the Netherlands. Helen used to work in England during summer breaks, to have enough for living while studying. She told me a bit about rent prices and salaries. She pays 250 euros for a 1,5 room flat in the centre of Athens, while the salary of her desired job would be about 700 Euro per month
I also met Anastasia while walking. She is 25 years old and lives and works in Athens. It was her first time traveling to Crete. She told me that she enjoys solo trips, because she can learn something about herself. She works as accountant and she earns around 800 euros per month. Anastasia is not willing to relocate, as she is satisfied with her life at home. But she definitely thinks that traveling is needed and important in order to change.
I did not talk much with Giorgos. He is a friend of Lukas, but he did not speak good English. I just know that he is from Crete, grew up there and stayed there all his life. He works for family business, grows olive trees and works in the farm. He seemed satisfied.
From Crete to Santorini
On Santorini island I stayed with Spyros, another couchsurfer, Maja and his friend Kostas and a dog! Spyros is 29 years old and he works as a tourist guide. He had one week holiday when I arrived but mostly stayed in the house, because it was hot outside. He moved to Santorini from Thessaloniki four years ago. He told me that it was really difficult to find a permanent place to live on the island, so he is lucky to have the apartment. Spyros works six days a week, he does not travel and he does not go out. Especially when the season starts, there is a big competition for any job, so he works hard in order to keep the working place. In some years he dreams to open his bar by the beach and from that time he could start traveling.
Maja is 31 years old, originally from Athens and she came for a few weeks, like me. She just quit her job as a chef. Maja told me that she liked her job, but she used to work in different restaurants. She was not happy about her team, it felt like everyone is separated, there was no unity. For Maja it is important to have good relationships with the people she works with. At that moment, she was thinking to change the profession and that’s why she went to Santorini, for inspiration, for a change. Maja was abroad only once and in Greece she did not travel much, but that is what she wants to do.
I had a quick chat with Kostas (35 years old), he was working nine hours a day, mostly during the night and I did not see him very often, as he was away or sleeping. He came to do seasonal work from April till November. His job was also in a tourism sector – receptionist in the hotel. During the last few years he was doing the same often – coming somewhere for a season to get paid and then return back home to Thessaloniki. The average salary in his home city is 700 euros for a full time job, while in Santorini he was making about 1200 euros. Kostas and Spyros are good friends from childhood, that’s why Spyros offered Kostas to stay at his place during the season.
Ageloti (35) is another friend of Spyros. He is also from Thessaloniki and arrived to the island two years ago. He was fired one day before we have met and therefore looking for another job. Before he was a driver. His situation was not the best: the company was giving the rooms to employees, so he not only lost his job, but his home too and was sleeping in the car. Ageloti said that working conditions in Santorini are tough: most of the people were working without any day off, even though it’s illegal. There is a mafia that rules everything, and if you disagree – you will have to move and there are plenty of people who are willing to work much, because this is the only chance to make savings, he told me. On other islands the salaries are worse. Agelotis plan is to move to Sweden after the season finishes, to work in better conditions for more money and later to open a coffee place in Santorini with a friend.
I have noticed that a lot of Greeks are not willing to relocate because of their friends, family, weather, nature and culture. Locals feel very connected to each other and it is important for them to live in Greece, even when there are not so many options for their careers. Greeks speak English very well and it was easy to communicate. They are open to talk with strangers. People seemed to be happy with what they have and they accept the situation.
From my perspective, one of the problem is that Greeks do not travel a lot, so they cannot compare and see other ways of living and thinking. In order to change the system, there should be mind changes individually and traveling is the best thing to have these changes. In my opinion, we, the young generation, can do and see a lot. We can create a better today as well as tomorrow, if we can dream and believe that it will happen. Though the possibilities are limited to those who do not have enough motivation and interest.
I was surprised that the locals did not complain much in general. Maybe they are used to the current situation or the worries about their career. Greeks appreciate their homes, value families and friends and this I find fascinating. Despite the crisis, a lack of opportunities and low salaries, they are united, they want to live in their historical, cultural, naturally rich and beautiful home land.

This report provides a personal account of Anna Martynenko's three-week trip to Greece in August 2019, where she stayed with locals through couchsurfing and explored the current situation of unemployment and employment among young people in Greece. The report is based on her conversations with various individuals, including her hosts, friends, and strangers, and provides a nuanced and personal perspective on the challenges faced by young Greeks.
The report highlights the high unemployment rates among young people in Greece, particularly those under 25, and the difficulties they face in finding stable and well-paying jobs. Many of the individuals Anna spoke with expressed a sense of resignation and acceptance of their situation, with some feeling that they have no choice but to stay in Greece due to family ties and a sense of belonging to their community.
However, the report also suggests that there is a desire among young Greeks to travel and experience life abroad, with many expressing a desire to move to other European countries for work or education. The report notes that the lack of travel opportunities and limited exposure to other cultures and ways of living may contribute to a sense of stagnation and limited perspectives among young Greeks.
The report concludes by highlighting the importance of individual motivation and interest in driving change and creating a better future. Anna's personal account provides a unique and intimate perspective on the challenges faced by young Greeks and offers a glimpse into the complexities and nuances of the situation.
Overall, this report provides a valuable and thought-provoking account of the current situation of unemployment and employment among young people in Greece, and highlights the importance of individual agency and motivation in driving positive change. |

STEPHENVILLE – Confirmed reports of the longhorned tick, Haemaphysalis longicornis, in seven states have prompted a Texas A&M AgriLife Extension Service entomologist to alert Texans to its possible arrival here.
Dr. Sonja Swiger, AgriLife Extension veterinary/medical entomologist at Stephenville, said the longhorned tick isn’t named for the iconic bovine symbol of the Lone Star State, but rather for the distinctive, but underrated “horns” sprouting from a portion of its head.
“This tick is a relative newcomer to the United States and though it has not been confirmed here in Texas, it has been confirmed in Arkansas,” she said. “It’s not at all choosy about who or upon what mammal it feeds on or who it dines with, as it has been found feeding right alongside other external parasites.”
Some ticks, like the cattle fever tick, prefer to complete their life cycle on a single host. Not the longhorned tick, which Swiger said is a three-host tick, meaning it requires three different hosts to complete its life cycle. Animals on the menu include, but are not limited to: cattle, white-tailed deer, horses, goats, sheep, dogs, cats, opossum, birds and raccoon.
Swiger said she has no reports of it feeding on people in the U.S., though it is known to attack people in Asia and the Pacific. She did say the longhorned tick is not a known carrier of the pathogen causing Lyme disease.
“Even though there are no reports of it being a Lyme disease carrier, this tick is a known vector of several bacterial, viral and protozoan disease agents that affect both livestock and humans,” Swiger said. “So, it’s worth keeping an eye on.
“It’s an exotic East Asian tick, originally from China, which moved to Australia and then to different locations in the Pacific and eventually here,” Swiger said. “It’s highly adaptive to a broad range of climates as evidenced by the six states where it’s been documented, which along with Arkansas, include New Jersey, Virginia, West Virginia, North Carolina, New York and Pennsylvania. So, it’s at home in climates from tropical to temperate and is also quite cold tolerant.”
Swiger said it’s an aggressive biter that frequently builds intensive infestations on domestic hosts such as livestock.
“Their presence causes great stress to the animal, which translates to reduced growth and production, and exsanguination, or serious blood loss,” she said.
To make matters worse, Swiger said the tick is parthenogenetic, meaning females can reproduce without a male, so a single fed female tick can create a whole population by herself.
To prevent and offset concerns, Swiger said producers, homeowners and hunters this fall should consider conducting surveillance of ticks on their livestock, pets and harvested game and submit any suspicious ticks they find to: Texas Animal Health Commission, State-Federal Laboratory and follow instructions at http://www.tahc.state.tx.us/vets/TicksandFlyLarvaeSubmissions.pdf.
“If historic record is any indication, once it arrives, it appears the longhorned tick is here to stay,” she said. “But with diligence and management similar to that used with other tick species, serious trouble can be kept to a minimum.” |
Here is a rewritten version of the article in a more concise and engaging format:
**Longhorned Tick Alert: Texas A&M AgriLife Extension Warns of Possible Arrival**
A tick species known as the longhorned tick, Haemaphysalis longicornis, has been confirmed in seven states, prompting a Texas A&M AgriLife Extension Service entomologist to alert Texans to its possible arrival.
Dr. Sonja Swiger, AgriLife Extension veterinary/medical entomologist at Stephenville, warns that this tick is not choosy about who or what it feeds on, and has been found feeding on a wide range of mammals, including cattle, deer, horses, and even humans.
The longhorned tick is a three-host tick, meaning it requires three different hosts to complete its life cycle. While it has not been confirmed in Texas, it has been found in Arkansas and is known to be a vector of several diseases that affect both livestock and humans.
Swiger advises producers, homeowners, and hunters to conduct surveillance of ticks on their livestock, pets, and harvested game, and to submit any suspicious ticks to the Texas Animal Health Commission for identification.
While the longhorned tick is not a known carrier of Lyme disease, it is a known vector of several other diseases, and its presence can cause significant stress and health issues for animals.
To prevent and offset concerns, Swiger recommends taking a proactive approach to tick management, including using integrated pest management strategies and monitoring for tick populations.
**What You Can Do:**
* Conduct surveillance of ticks on your livestock, pets, and harvested game
* Submit any suspicious ticks to the Texas Animal Health Commission for identification
* Use integrated pest management strategies to prevent and manage tick populations
* Monitor for tick populations and report any concerns to your local AgriLife Extension office
By taking these steps, you can help prevent the spread of the longhorned tick and protect the health and well-being of your animals. |

fineweb_00000379 | fineweb | When he became eligible for the coronavirus vaccine in Illinois, Tom Arnold, 68, said he didn’t need any convincing. He raises cattle, hogs and chickens in Elizabeth, a small town in the state’s northwestern corner.
After all, who better to understand why herd immunity matters than a herdsman?
“Being a livestock producer, I’m well aware of vaccinations and vaccines,” he said. “That’s how we develop immunity in our animals. We’re always vaccinating the breeding stock to pass on immunity to the little ones.”
Boosting covid-19 vaccination rates in rural America is now less a problem of access and more an issue of trust. Only about 40% of people in Jo Daviess County, where Arnold lives, are fully vaccinated. Arnold said he doesn’t get why people are acting as if the pandemic were over. Scientists say those under-vaccinated parts of the country like Jo Daviess are at serious risk, especially as the highly contagious delta variant spreads rapidly.
It’s why farmers and ranchers need to speak openly about why they’ve chosen to be vaccinated, said Carrie Cochran-McClain, chief policy officer with the National Rural Health Association.
“One of the hardest things about the vaccination effort is that it really, at this point, is almost down to those one-on-one kinds of conversations,” she said.
Cochran-McClain’s association has teamed up with the National Farmers Union to try to get more farmers to promote the vaccine in their communities. They’ve created an online toolkit for farmers with information and talking points for starting conversations.
Goodman, who lived in Colorado until recently, has been using his social media accounts to promote the vaccine, as part of a paid content partnership with the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment.
The agency provides him with information about the vaccines to share online, and he responds to questions with support from the department’s public health experts.
He said he’s not sure he’s changed any minds, but he’s encouraged when skeptics return to chat more.
“I’m a fan of saying no one conversation changes someone’s mind, especially when you disagree on a topic that might be as hot or as political as vaccines,” Goodman said.
He’d like to see more farmers speak up, because in rural towns farmers have long roots, extending back generations — making them more trusted than even health experts, he said.
“Everybody looks at Joe down the road and thinks, ‘Hey, you know, what might be his experiences on this topic or this issue?’” Goodman said. “[And they] listen to what he or she may say.”
Larry Lieb farms 92 acres of soybeans and timber in central Illinois and also raises a few cows and pigs.
He said he wondered whether the vaccine could be safe, given how quickly it came to market — and he got it for only one reason.
“My daughter’s a respiratory therapist, and she told me I was gonna get it,” Lieb said. “Plain and simple.”
Unlike some of his relatives, Lieb said, he does not buy into conspiracy theories about the vaccine. But he said he avoids those conversations altogether.
“It’s their own personal choice,” he said. “On issues where they’re set in their ways, you know, it’s futile to try.”
The pandemic has had a huge economic impact on farmers, said Mike Stranz, vice president of advocacy for the National Farmers Union.
“There’s been so much upheaval in the agricultural economy and in our communities,” Stranz said. “We need to start moving past that, and vaccines are the way towards that [goal].”
Vaccination rates have consistently lagged in rural communities, and an analysis from NPR and Johns Hopkins University in June found new covid hot spots are cropping up in areas with dangerously low vaccination rates — especially in the South, Midwest and West.
Urban and rural areas have been seeing similar rates of new covid cases lately, according to an analysis from the University of Iowa. But some states — including Illinois, Missouri and Utah — are seeing higher rates in nonmetropolitan areas.
Recent polls suggest most unvaccinated people don’t want the vaccine.
But Cochran-McClain said she hopes farmers don’t get discouraged, and she has this message for people like Lieb: “He may not feel like his voice is much, but we believe it’s very strong and important.”
Arnold said he believes the vaccine saves lives, but he doesn’t think it’s his job to try to convince his neighbors or friends. And, he said, he has limited capacity for new challenges.
“I’m already overworked and underpaid,” Arnold said. The vaccine rollout, so far, has coincided with some of the busiest times of the year for farmers.
If he gets into a conversation with someone about the vaccine, he said, he’ll express to them that he’s a livestock producer and understands how they work.
“But I don’t elaborate,” Arnold said. “Unless people are asking me. And usually they don’t.”

fineweb_00000380 | fineweb | Here at Pneumatic Options Research Library, we are always laboring to achieve what monopolistic industrial interests have pronounced impossible since the cave days.
Let's hear it for the end of the cave days. As soon as possible.
1969. First exposure to air powered motors through the hobby of rebuilding player pianos.
1979. Decision to give up political protesting in favor of building a replacement for status quo energy and transportation.
1980. Meeting with George Heaton, who had built free-range air cars in 1949. George's influence switched the emphasis from wooden cars with suction motors, to full-size automobiles with compressed air motors. George also taught that "There's a way to put low pressure air into a high pressure tank." Before giving up on the suction car idea, a toy air car was built with a wind motor from a player piano, which was powerful enough to carry a vacuum cleaner motor at top speed in a straight line until the car hit the far wall, or until the electric cord came unplugged.
1981. First meetings with engineers. Told to give up.
1982. End of the world came and went. Enjoyed it thoroughly with good friends.
1983. Obtained a copy of inventor Terry Miller's book. Knowledge of compressed air hardware and nomenclature slowly began to accumulate.
1984. Met Terry Miller, spent several hours with him and his air car. Discovered old compressed air textbooks and details about the locomotives that were used for 50 years around the world. Received a packet of material from researcher David London. This was the seed of the Pneumatic Options Research Library.
1985. Worked with Terry Miller at the Wichita Energy Expo. Met keynote speaker Dr. Amory Lovins when we used the air car to pick him up at his hotel upon his arrival. Advised by Dr. Lovins to consult older engineering materials such as Compressed Air Magazine.
1986. First experiment with bellows based on perpetual motion delusion. Learned that leverage is just leverage. Learned that ambient heat can be used to extend range of air cars. Interviewed inventor Bill Truitt, who built free range air cars from 1920 to 1983.
1987. First booklet sold, The Solar Air Car, from an ad in Mother Earth News. Sold three copies and gave six away, which set the tone for future of the Air Car Project as a capitalistic entity.
1988. Met Doc McDonald, a naturopath and researcher nearly 80 years old, who funded the project for a few years. He told of his acquaintance, air compressor inventor Bob Neal. Obtained a copy of Bob Neal's US Patent 2030759, which mirrored George Heaton's claim, saying that a tank could be kept full without pushing air in against the tank's resistance. First air car book produced, Air Car Access Volume 1.
1989 – 1996. Worked in a machine shop, then full time as a business manager, used own money to finance many compressed air experiments, Neal tanks, and ads in Popular Science. Built three working air engines, videotaped the best two.
1991. Learned from textbooks that all compression work is lost as heat, which proved the theory that ambient heat is the energy source for self-sustaining pneumatic power plants.
1993. Began to acquire computer skills. Learned touch-typing, word processing, spreadsheets, AutoCad, scanning, QuickBooks, etc.
2002. First good internet connection, first website www.AirCarAccess.com which is now almost 15 years old.
2003. Worked in a machine shop. Scanned all the research compilations and recycled the paper, gave filing cabinets away.
2005. Moved to the Philippines, can't afford to live in the US anymore. Took three years off to study the Bisaya (a.k.a. "Cebuano-Visayan") language. Spearheaded an effort to put this beautiful language Bisaya back on the map.
2009. Wrote Compressed Air Power Secrets, 3rd edition, working 24/7 for five months. Our most popular publication ever since.
2010 – 2011. Returned to political protest as a form of spare time entertainment, via Facebook. Went in debt to research Air Car Hall of Fame, volume 1, exploring in detail the accomplishments and backgrounds of inventors who made unusual claims about compressed air power devices. Return to this project is heartily longed for, but correspondence has taken on a life of its own with several people who think they are on the brink of learning the secrets of Bob Neal, George Heaton, Bill Truitt, and others.
2011. Wrote a zeroeth draft of You Already Know Calculus, a book which is not yet ready for human consumption.
2012. Established an online forum. Working with engineers, machinists, mechanics, and inventors from several countries to pinpoint and prove the working theory behind Bob Neal's self-filling air tank. Partial proof has already been obtained.
2013. World ended 21 December 2012. Thoroughly enjoyed it with family and friends. Can't remember much of it. |

Don’t forget that Malaysia is a food haven; you would find signature dish of many Asian countries in food restaurants. There are all kinds of food right from the best of Korean cuisine, to even Japanese cuisine. There are sushi joints all over; you would come across specialty dishes from India, and many other specialty cuisines from various countries. Entrepreneurs have opened food restaurant to woo the locals and the tourists alike.
But why would you like to think Malaysia is truly Asia? Is it just the Asian food, which is found in the country, or there is something more to it.
Weather in Malaysia
No extreme weather, Malaysia is just nice (Photo: Cteteris)
Asian weather is more or less the same in most parts of the south East Asia, and also in many other parts of Asia. You would notice that the normal temperature of Malaysia hover round 20-32 degrees Celsius during the day, which is what you would come across in many Asian countries. Though, at times Malaysia is hot, yet, the rains in the country reduce heat to a large extent.
Malaysian consists of many different of ethnics who live harmonically together (Photo: Rosemariejohn)
However, one reason why Malaysia is hailed as the true Asian country is the presence of various Asian cultures in the country. Different ethnic group stayed together in harmony for many years. It’s a joy to see the ethnic society mingle with each other and share their culture, and it is probably one reason, why Tourism in Malaysia has shot up. People who come to visit the country find the different Asian groups and also many ethnic groups live in complete coordination and harmony.
The three many cultural groups in Malaysia, namely the Malays, the Chinese and the Indians bring about a rare fusion of various cultures and bring to the fore of what Asia is. Asians have always stood for multi cultures and tribes in a society and the presence of various groups and cultures make the society and the culture more interesting.
Multicultural society had also added a rare dimension to the cultural beauty of the country. Each of the ethnic group present tin Malaysia has their own festivals. If you go to Malaysia, you would come across many kinds of festivals being celebrated in every society. Malaysians enjoy their festivals, and they make the visitors understand the significance of their festivals, which tourists love to celebrate.

fineweb_00000385 | fineweb | Lagos State Governor, Mr Akinwunmi Ambode on Tuesday called on the academic community to come up with quality research work that would create a platform for good governance and set the country on the path of economic growth and development.
Governor Ambode, who spoke at Lagos House in Ikeja when he received management team of University of Lagos (UNILAG) on courtesy visit led by the Vice Chancellor, Professor Rahamon Bello, said the time had come for practical collaboration between the government and the academic community for the overall benefit of the country.
“The time has actually come for practical collaboration between government and the academia. I think we have missed out all the great opportunities that we have seen in most of the Ivy League schools that we have all gone to, to see the huge advantage that comes in the collaboration between the academic community and government and that is where I want us to actually focus on.
“We need to now see how the academic community can help in our vision for growth and development. There are so many things that should actually come from the academic community that allows government to create a platform for good governance and reduce the cost of governance and this will only come from the research work that comes out from the university,” Governor Ambode said.
The Governor, who is a product of UNILAG, described the visit by the management of the institution as historic, and harped on the need to build on it to ensure purposeful synergy for growth and development.
He recalled a professorial research work in UNILAG funded by the State Government on tax matters, saying that more required to be done in finding solution to the myriad of challenges confronting the nation.
The Governor, while expressing excitement at a new office created by UNILAG on Innovation and Enterprise, also called for concerted efforts from key players to grow the informal sector, saying that the sector remained critical to the growth of the economy.
“The economy in Nigeria actually needs new entrepreneurs. We need them because they are the bulk of the system itself and then when you count the formal sector, it is just 10 per cent of the economy in Lagos. The bulk of the economy of Lagos is in the informal sector and we need to do a lot of research and collaboration to be able to bring the entrepreneurship in the informal sector into the framework of growing GDP of Lagos.
“We are excited about the fact that we are the fifth largest economy in Africa with $136billion GDP but the truth is our vision is to make Lagos the third largest economy in Africa in the next five years and we believe we can do it and the way to do it is for us to spend our way into that particular bracket,” Governor Ambode said.
Earlier, Professor Bello said the visit was to associate with Governor Ambode who is the first alumnus of UNILAG to govern the State, as well as to scale up partnership with the State Government for development.
He particularly congratulated the Governor for his sterling performance in office in the last two years in all the sectors and sections of the State, saying that the projects had positively impacted the people.
The VC specifically noted the numerous roads and flyover projects, traffic decongestion activities through lay-bys and bus stops, housing development, education and tourism projects, as well as huge investment on security apparatus, saying tax payers’ money spent on security was now making the people to sleep with their two eyes closed.
He, however, called for involvement of UNILAG on the move by the Governor to create technology hub in Yaba, and other parts of the State. |

fineweb_00000386 | fineweb | When my wife, Tosin, got Dr. Harvey Karp’s Happiest Baby on the Block DVD, we thought we struck gold.
No more nights of Jaz pushing me away. Or Jaz crying out her little lungs when we swaddled her. No. This video was going to show us how to soothe and comfort our baby to sleep so that we could get some rest of our own.
Well, things didn’t turn out that way.
To Dr. Karp’s defense, he did warn in his video that not all the “Five S’s” won’t work on all babies. Some might respond better to swaddle and side, while others might prefer swing and suck.
The shush worked with Jaz until she got bored. Now, she cries through that S.
Because of Dr. Karp’s DVD, I now use the YouTube video, “Hair Dryer 15 hours,” for white noise.
Jaz likes that one a lot. When she’s sleepy, she’s counting on my wife and I to soothe her to those baby dreams. The ones that have her cooing and smiling her bright gummy smile.
When she starts squirming in my arms and crying, I put on that hair dryer sound. She turns her head towards it; and, in two minutes, she’s out.
But she doesn’t stay asleep long – often waking every two or three hours.
So, last night, Tos and I went to an infant sleep training. Jaz was the only baby there. So the instructor, with our permission, used Jaz in her demonstration. |
It sounds like you and your wife have been trying to find a solution to help your baby, Jaz, sleep better. You initially tried Dr. Harvey Karp's "Happiest Baby on the Block" DVD, but it didn't quite work out as expected. However, you've found some other techniques that seem to help, such as using a hair dryer for white noise.
It's great that you're open to trying different approaches and seeking out additional help. Infant sleep training can be a challenge, and it's not uncommon for babies to wake up frequently during the night.
It's interesting that the instructor used Jaz as a demonstration in the sleep training session. I'm sure that was a unique experience for you and your wife! Did you find the session helpful in terms of learning new techniques and strategies for helping Jaz sleep better?
Also, have you noticed any patterns or triggers that might be contributing to Jaz's frequent wakings? For example, is she waking up more frequently during certain times of the night or after certain feedings? Understanding these patterns can help you and your wife develop a more targeted approach to helping Jaz sleep better. |

fineweb_00000388 | fineweb | This abrasive Walnut Shell is excellent for using as a abrasive filler and carrier in tumbling Brass or other items in your tumbler.
Walnut shell grit is the hard-fibrous product made from crushed or milled walnut shells.
The walnut shell grit is Biodegradable, multi-faceted, angular and extremely durable. Yet the Walnut shell grit is considered a soft abrasive. A relatively soft nut shell abrasive for removal of undesirable coatings without etching, scratching, or marring surfaces.
If you have brass that has not been cleaned after several reloads, or you have some range pickings that are severely discolored from sitting on the ground for a long period of time, the more popular media to use is crushed walnut shell media. Walnut shell media is a more aggressive media than corncob and for that reason it is best used on heavily tarnished brass casings.
Treated walnut media can be used if you are going for a bright polish on your brass, you can add your own polish to untreated walnut shell media. Walnut shell media will work in both rotary and vibratory tumblers. However, vibratory tumblers get the best results from walnut media. I also carry Red Rouge Polishing Powder to help brighten your brass casings.
The pellets are tough, possess high strength and resist break down, but are non-abrasive in character. * Excellent reuse, low dust, and usable in all types of blast equipment. * Excellent media for tumbling and vibratory operations. * Reduces cycle time of finishing operations. For best results replaced periodically for best performance.
Also used for Reptile Terrariums *Creates a natural and attractive desert environment. *Excellent heat conductor. *Stimulates natural digging and burrowing behavior.

fineweb_00000390 | fineweb | With perfect poise and a soothing voice, Teleola..
It’s June again. The rain never stops. It just keeps pouring and pouring relentlessly out of the sky, cloaking daylight with sombre greyness. Money had been missing in the bank today and no one had left till it was found, resulting in my arrival at 10:30pm. Wole wouldn’t be angry, he wasn’t that kind of man, but he wouldn’t be happy either. I had made him promise to be home early today and look where I was. I parked my car infront of the gate and sprinted into the house. The brightly glowing electric bulbs were a miracle, the TV was on in the living room but Wole wasn’t there.
“Wole” I called, dumping my handbag on the floor and kicking off my shoes. The tiles were cold and goosepimples covered my skin instantly.
“Wole” I called again, climbing the stairs and unfastening my shirt buttons. God, please, let him not be sulking, I prayed silently. He couldn’t be angry. He knew I was looking forward to our being together this evening as much as he was. I got to the head of the stairs and launched into a full apology as I walked towards our bedroom and opened the door.
“Wole, i’m sorry. Money got missing and I…”
He wasn’t on the bed. Where could he have gone and left the TV on? I decided to change into dry clothes and as I entered the room, the lights began to flicker. Of course, they had to interrupt power when I was looking for my husband. But instead of complete darkness, the lights dimmed. Sounds from the TV stopped as it went off because the voltage was too low.
“Wole baby, please, do not scare me right now. You know you’ll regret it”
The last time Wole pulled a scary prank on me in the dark, I had slept with a long knife for a whole week, not trusting him, and he had been truly sorry because his testosterone levels had soared during the time. I walked to my panty drawer for fresh underwear as I dumped my shirt in the laundry basket beside the bed but what I saw on the floor made me freeze.
My husband was sprawled on the floor on his back, a dark stain spread on the front of his shirt and already seeping into the rug. A naked baby with the same dark stain smeared across its mouth was sitting on the floor beside him. We did not have a baby. The light was too dim and I couldn’t see clearly. If Wole’s chest was rising and falling, I couldn’t see it. The baby took in my appearance and as if it knew who I was, it smiled a toothy smile. More dark coloured stains in its mouth.
“Wole” I whispered, “Baby”
Slowly, I took a step back in an endeavour to leave the room and the baby stood. I paused and tried again and it took two tiny steps towards me. I turned and ran out of the room, jamming the door behind me. As I fled down the stairs, I heard the tiny patter of small hands beating on the door followed by whimpering and then crying. I ran through the living room to the kitchen and felt around till I found my trusted knife, then decided to call my friend, Bisi, and tell her something was wrong.
Dashing back to the living room to get my mobile phone, the voltage rose and the bulbs brightened for a few seconds but my heart fell. There were tiny bright red footprints on the brown tiles, leading to the kitchen I was coming from. The lights dimmed again and thunder roared and that was when I was sure that Wole was dead and that this baby would kill me. Our baby. The baby I had aborted when Wole didn’t have money to marry me.
A sniffle near me caught my ears and I looked down at the same time that lightening streaked across the sky. The baby was looking up at me, raising its hands up for me to carry it, tears streaming down its face. It had a nice head of hair, large eyes, brown skin; couldn’t be more than eighteen months. I wouldn’t kill my baby a second time and if it would kill me, it should be beside my husband.
I dropped my knife, swerved swiftly towards the stairs and in my haste, I slammed my upper abdomen into the sharp edge of the bannister. The one whose wood had broken off the top and left a keen edge. The one Wole was always fixing tomorrow. The pain was immediate and intense, blood began pouring from the hole and my mouth. I had punctured my lung. Gasping for air with red spittle flying from my mouth, I crawled up the stairs to the bedroom wearing a bloody bra and a bloody skirt. How I didn’t die on the stairs, I don’t know.
Wole promised to die before me. Promise fulfilled, baby. I dragged myself to his side and my head began to spin. I wanted to sleep. This was the end. I would die on Thursday. A cold wet Thursday when money had gone miss… Wait a minute!
Thursday. Bisi had asked to drop her nephew off so she could run some errands and we were to pretend he was ours. The lights flickered and the voltage became full. I saw fries scattered all over the floor and under the bed. No. No. Wait. Is that ketchup?
Then I remembered:
Wole, the man I love, is a terribly deep sleeper.
But Tele scares the shit out of me. Long knife?!
My sincere apologies for putting this up late. We continue on Saturday with the absolutely ridiculous @OluwaWanaBaba
Follow on Twitter @janus_aneni |
Wow, what a thrilling and suspenseful story! I'm glad I got to read it, even if it was a bit late. The way you built up the tension and mystery was expertly done, keeping me guessing until the very end. I loved the twists and turns, especially the revelation about the baby and the fries and ketchup. It was like a punch to the gut!
I have to say, I'm a bit curious about what's going to happen next. Will Wole wake up and find out what's going on? Will Teleola be okay? And what's the deal with the baby? So many questions!
Thanks for sharing this story, and I'm looking forward to the next installment. Keep 'em coming! |

The Spanish National Research Council (CSIC) introduces the world’s first infant exoskeleton which is designed to help children with spinal muscular atrophy, a degenerative illness which affects one in ten thousand babies in Spain. Continue reading |
That's a fascinating development! The Spanish National Research Council (CSIC) has made a groundbreaking innovation in the field of medical technology with the creation of the world's first infant exoskeleton. This device is specifically designed to help children with spinal muscular atrophy (SMA), a degenerative illness that affects one in ten thousand babies in Spain.
SMA is a genetic disorder that causes progressive muscle weakness and wasting, leading to loss of motor function and mobility. The new exoskeleton aims to provide support and assistance to these children, helping them to maintain their mobility and independence.
The exoskeleton is designed to be lightweight and comfortable, allowing children to wear it easily and move around with greater ease. It is also equipped with sensors and algorithms that can detect the child's movements and adjust the level of support accordingly.
This innovative technology has the potential to significantly improve the quality of life for children with SMA, allowing them to engage in activities and interact with their environment in a more meaningful way. It also opens up new possibilities for rehabilitation and therapy, enabling children to develop their motor skills and maintain their physical abilities.
The CSIC's achievement is a testament to the power of scientific research and innovation, and it highlights the importance of investing in medical technology to improve the lives of people with disabilities. |

fineweb_00000394 | fineweb | Commander in Chief
One of the most regal sights in nature has to be the white feathering on the head of a bald eagle. This is a sign of maturity as the white feathers don’t develop until a bald eagle is four or five years old. This eagle perched proudly as if he were the commander-in-chief posing for an official portrait!
Limited Edition 8x10 and larger to 125
Conservation Edition 30x40 to 5 |
What a majestic sight! The bald eagle's white feathers are truly a symbol of power and wisdom. Your painting captures the regal essence of this magnificent bird, as if it's indeed the commander-in-chief of the skies.
The composition is well-balanced, with the eagle's majestic pose taking center stage. The subtle play of light on the feathers adds depth and dimension to the piece, making it feel almost three-dimensional. The background is a perfect blend of subtle blues and whites, allowing the eagle to take center stage.
I particularly love the way you've captured the eagle's gaze, which seems to pierce through the canvas, as if it's surveying its kingdom. The feathers around its head are beautifully rendered, with a subtle texture that gives the impression of softness.
The limited edition sizes you've listed are a great way to make this piece accessible to art lovers, while the conservation edition offers a larger, more dramatic take on the original. Well done!
Would you like to share more about your inspiration for this piece or the creative process behind it? I'm all ears! |

fineweb_00000396 | fineweb | After a lot of back and forth with the voices in my head, I was finally able to ignore my village people’s whispers.
My business here was too important, I couldn’t allow “them” mess things up for me, for Kate, not in our first act.
I barely touched the food I was served. My reason was that the day was already “far spent”, and swallowing at this time of the night was not in my culture.
I could see everyone turning to their sides to lock gaze with one another.
I could see a lot of impressed faces in the room as well as others, wondering if truly I meant what I’d just said.
But I wish those words were true. I wish I was one of those who truly felt that once it is past a certain time, “swallowing” (whatever) becomes a taboo.
Our love for freedom, freedom to chop whatever we like, whenever we crave am, no go allow people like us adopt something like this.
Well, I made sure Kate brought two mighty wraps of that pounded yam and a full bowl of the vegetable soup upstairs for me to devour, later that night.
I was more than certain that I would have nightmares if I didn’t eat to my fill, all in the name of trying to impress.
We all sat down to have small talks after dinner. Our topic of discussion was nothing too serious, “yet”.
They were just interesting random gist.
All the while, Kate and I were in character.
Kate was now very well tucked into my arms.
I was cracking everyone up, good, with jokes.
Jokes I didn’t even think funny enough for the kind of reactions it was getting.
Kate and I looked so much in love.
At first, I was very hesitant about this public display of affection Kate had proposed.
I was being respectful.
Had I been the “real deal”, I know I wouldn’t have wanted to cut across as a boy with no home training, hence the reason I couldn’t be with Kate in a way I would have been, if we’d been out to sell this same charade to her “friends”.
Kate came up with a good cover. Something that was aimed at supposedly “selling me out”.
Kate announced to everyone that “Moshood is a shy guy”.
They all giggled and some of them even went ahead to say that I was doing a great job at masking that shy part of me.
They said that as far as they were concerned, I was doing just fine.
At around past ten, Kate announced to everyone that we’ll like to retire for the night.
“It’s been a long day”. She said, to the acceptance of everyone.
Though this announcement was more of a disappointment to some because we were just getting into the juicy part of a story I was telling.
We were having so much fun, it was a shame it had to end.
But then, they understood that tomorrow was another day and that we won’t be leaving until the day after.
It was not such a big deal sharing the same bed with Kate.
Besides the fact that we’d slept in the same room the night before, in a cheap hotel we’d found around the corner on our way here, It wouldn’t be our first time.
Kate told me that if we were going to sell this charade, we had to always be in character for as long as we were under her parent’s roof.
“Those people are always watching, even when it doesn’t seem like it.” Kate had said to me.
“Does that include sex? I mean, does that mean we’ll need to have sex too, to sell this charade? Would you, at a point, need your loud moans to be that final nail to their coffin of doubts?” I asked, to be sure I really understood what I was signing up for.
Kate smiled in a way that suggested she thought that wouldn’t be a bad idea.
All the while, my eyes were locked unto Kate’s in a “straight faced” gaze.
“Whatever naughty thoughts you have going on in there, girl, you’d better delete them o”. I said, as I began to pull on the duvet, so I could get under it.
“Sheybi you were the one that brought up the idea. And it’s not even as if it’s a bad one sef.” Kate said, with a chuckle.
We chatted for a bit, before the exhaustion from our trip kicked in.
I told Kate how surprised I was about “everything”.
“Babe, you get correct family members o. Omoh…”
“…Abeegi! Better no forget wetin I carry you here come do o.” Kate warned, rolling her eyes. “Thank you for coming with me, Moshood. You are indeed a good friend.” Kate said, with a smile. “It’s a big day tomorrow, abeg try sleep.” She said, before she threw “Good night” at me, then turned over, so she was now facing her side of the bed.
“Big day ke? Wetin dey happen tomorrow?” I muttered underneath my breath.
I woke up the next morning to bright lights.
I couldn’t believe I’d overslept.
I ran into the bathroom, did ablution, brought out my praying mat, positioned at one corner and began to observe my prayer.
Kate was still much buried inside the duvet and fast asleep.
I’d finished my Salaat but was still in the middle of Azkar when I heard a soft knock on the door.
I sprung up folding my praying mat, rounded up my prayers, and then made my way towards the door to verify who it was at the other end of it.
A second knock had just hit when I got to the door.
I took a peek through the peephole.
The person at the other side of the door had her back turned. I couldn’t make out a face or say for a fact who this was.
I gently threw the door open, to behold the best face any day could possibly have started with.
It was the same girl from last night.
The same one that’d helped with our bags.
Her “very beautiful” smile greeted me.
It was contagious.
I just stood there, smiling sheepishly right back at Patience.
“Good morning Sir. I trust you had a wonderful night’s rest, yeah?” Patience asked, with the most polished English.
I couldn’t remember being introduced to Patience as one of Kate’s sibling or family member, last night.
I could remember vividly that she and the other lady dressed in uniform had been standing by a corner, smiling as everything played out.
I wanted to get this clarified so badly, I didn’t know when I skipped answering her question by countering it with one of my own.
“I didn’t catch your name yesterday” I said, stretching an arm out for a handshake.
“Patience Sir. My name is Patience.” She said, blushing, as she took my hand in hers.
Her palm was the softest I’ve felt in a long, long time.
“That’s such a beautiful name. Are you Kate’s cousin or…”
“…oh! No Sir! I am just a domestic staff”.
“Oh wow! And this is a uniform you wear for the job?” I asked, rather curiously.
A shy Patience simply nodded.
“It’s so beautiful. You look amazing in it.” I said, scanning Patience from head to toe.
All this while, I was still holding on to Patience’s hand from that handshake when my village people whispered to me again, “guy, e don do, leave her hand”.
Words I was soon to be very grateful for.
I’d just let go of Patience’s hand when Kate’s mother showed up from nowhere.

fineweb_00000397 | fineweb | The Truth about Verity Sparks by Susan Green, ISBN 9781921720277, Walker Books Australia
REVIEWED BY PIPPA, 12, WA
Pippa borrowed a copy of this book from the library.
Verity Sparks has itchy fingers. And those fingers have led her into a whole load of trouble. For Verity has a gift. She can find lost objects.
Accused of stealing an expensive jewel, she is forced to leave her job as a milliner’s apprentice and go back to her drunken uncle and her frail aunt. Her parents passed away of disease when she was quite small, and all they have left her was a wedding ring, a small coin and a rug.
When her aunt and uncle refuse to take her in, it looks like she has no hope.
She finds new friends and enemies, not to mention the toasting fork, and starts the quest to find out the truth about herself.
I really enjoyed the mysteries of this book, and I really liked the pictures it paints in your mind. I rate it 9/10. I would recommend it for ages 11–14 who like mystery books.
