Difference Between Assault and Battery in Texas Law
Difference Between Assault and Battery in Texas Law
In many states, “assault” and “battery” are treated as separate criminal offenses. But in Texas, these terms are combined under a single statute: Texas Penal Code §22.01. That means if you’re arrested for what might be called “battery” elsewhere, you’ll likely be charged with assault under Texas law.
This distinction—or lack thereof—confuses many people, especially those facing charges in Harris or Galveston County. In this post, we’ll break down the difference between assault and battery as it applies in Texas, explain why the distinction matters, and what you should do next if you’ve been charged.
What Is Assault in Texas?
Under Texas Penal Code §22.01, a person commits assault if they:
Intentionally, knowingly, or recklessly cause bodily injury to another person;
Intentionally or knowingly threaten another with imminent bodily injury; or
So… What Is Battery, Then?
In other states, battery refers specifically to the act of causing physical harm—the actual touching or injuring of another person. Assault, in those jurisdictions, often refers only to the threat of harm.
But in Texas, both actions—the threat and the physical harm—fall under the single legal term “assault.” So, whether you threaten to punch someone or actually hit them, you’re being charged with assault, not “assault and battery.”
Key Differences at a Glance
Term
In Other States
In Texas
Assault
Threat of harm
Threat of harm OR causing harm
Battery
Physical contact or bodily injury
Not a legal term in Texas
Legal Charge
Often two separate charges (assault & battery)
One charge: assault
Why This Matters If You’re Facing Charges
If you’re being charged in Harris or Galveston County, understanding this distinction can help you interpret your charges more clearly:
You won’t see “battery” on the charge sheet—even if you caused physical harm.
The prosecutor doesn’t need to prove injury to pursue an assault charge. Threats or offensive contact are enough for a Class C misdemeanor, which still creates a criminal record.
All levels of physical confrontation, from threats to serious injury, fall under the same legal umbrella—assault.
This is especially important if you’ve moved from another state or have a criminal history elsewhere. Your understanding of what counts as “battery” may not match how Texas defines and prosecutes assault.
Classifications of Assault in Texas (a Quick Refresher)
Depending on the severity and circumstances, your assault charge may be:
Class C Misdemeanor – Offensive contact or threats: up to $500 fine.
Class A Misdemeanor – Minor bodily injury: up to 1 year in jail and/or up to $4,000 fine.
Third-Degree Felony – Injury to a public servant, family member (with prior conviction), or emergency personnel: 2–10 years in prison, up to $10,000 fine.
Second-Degree Felony – Assault with a deadly weapon or causing serious bodily injury: 2–20 years in prison, up to $10,000 fine.
Even if the injury was accidental or mutual, Texas law allows prosecutors to file charges—especially in domestic or public service-related incidents.
Can I Be Charged for Assault Without Hitting Anyone?
Yes. Under Texas law, even threatening to harm someone, or touching someone in a provocative way, can result in a criminal assault charge. Here are examples that don’t involve actual physical injury:
Raising a fist and yelling, “I’m going to knock you out.”
Getting in someone’s face and pushing them back with your finger.
Spitting on someone.
These scenarios might seem minor, but in the eyes of the law, they can lead to Class C or A misdemeanor assault charges—and they’re taken seriously by prosecutors in Harris and Galveston Counties.
The Legal Process in Harris & Galveston County
Whether you’re charged with a Class C misdemeanor or a felony, the process generally involves:
Arrest and Booking
Magistration (initial hearing and bail setting)
Arraignment (entering a plea)
Pre-trial Hearings and Motions
Trial (if your case doesn’t settle or get dismissed)
Navigating this process alone is risky. A lawyer near you can guide you through every step, work to reduce or dismiss the charges, and protect your rights in court.
How a Lawyer Near You Can Help
If you’ve been accused of “assault and battery” in Texas, don’t assume the charge is straightforward. The law is complex, and small details can make a big difference in how your case is handled.
An experienced criminal defense lawyer near you can:
Examine the evidence and police reports
Identify potential legal defenses like self-defense or lack of intent
Negotiate with prosecutors to reduce charges
Represent you in court with confidence
The Law Office of JL Carpenter has successfully defended clients throughout Harris and Galveston Counties facing every level of assault charge. With her background as a former felony prosecutor, JL knows how the system works—and how to fight back for your rights.
Final Thoughts
While other states draw a clear legal line between assault and battery, Texas does not. Under state law, all forms of threatening behavior and physical harm fall under the single charge of assault.
If you or a loved one are facing these charges, don’t leave your future to chance. Get a lawyer near you who knows the Texas Penal Code inside and out.

Ecology education program pushes kids to conversation work
BILLINGS (AP) – Even though their ecosystems are completely different, Yellowstone National Park’s high elevation lodgepole pine forest and the jungle and ocean beaches of Costa Rica have something in common—Scott Pankratz.
The 46-year-old Missoula man had an “epiphany” while helping conserve sea turtles nesting on the beaches of Costa Rica—an education program to get the locals, who were eating turtle eggs and deforesting the jungle, to help them understand and appreciate their unique ecosystem. Working with Julie Osborn, who would later become his wife, a new program was born.
“I feel the same way about the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem,” Pankratz said. “They’re both mind-boggling places.”
CONNECTING PEOPLE
From that simple insight the Pankratzes have grown Ecology Project International to a science-based, outdoor experiential education program in five countries that has served more than 30,000 students—70 percent of whom are locals—including an educator program.
“That’s what really started the organization: the need to connect people to the landscapes, and also the need to make a difference through conservation service work,” he said.
The school is based in Missoula because that’s where a 29-year-old Pankratz was studying at the University of Montana in the biological science program in 1998, funding his schooling in part by working as a rafting guide in Moab, a ski instructor at Big Sky Resort and a field guide for the Teton Science School and National Outdoor Leadership School in Wyoming.
“The University of Montana helped me define the model I had in my mind,” Pankratz said. “I was really able to dial that in.”
Ecology Project International is funded by a combination of grants and fees. The fees are necessary to invest the students in the process, Pankratz said.
Fundraising and making connections now takes up most of his time to keep EPI’s mission growing. That latest step is a program that provides students with a stipend to study at the MPG Ranch in the Bitterroot Valley for a month, an attempt to build a job trajectory into the program.
GROWING
In the spring of 2000, Ecology Project International was launched in Costa Rica. Some high school students from Billings Central visited in 2016 to help with what is now an annual turtle project. Eight years after launching in Costa Rica the program was on the ground in Yellowstone. Since then EPI has seen steady growth in its popularity.
“There were more students than available room this summer,” said Erin Clark, Yellowstone project manager for EPI. “Ideally we’d like to be able to work with every high school and middle school student who lives in the Greater Yellowstone Area in Montana.”
This year EPI’s Yellowstone project was funded in part by the U.S. Department of Education’s Gear Up program, designed to give youngsters from rural areas whose parents have never been to college a better chance at pursuing a post-secondary education. Thompson Falls and Manhattan high school students are Gear Up schools partnered with EPI. In Gardiner, at the North Entrance to Yellowstone National Park, EPI has worked the past few winters with a class of eighth-graders.
“Two of the students had never been to Yellowstone, even though you could throw a rock from the school into the park,” Clark said. “That’s really incredible.”
INTRODUCTIONS
Part of EPI’s decision to focus on younger students was to capitalize on the fact that they are still open minded, Clark said. It’s often easier to find younger students, too, since high-schoolers tend to have jobs and other activities that make it difficult for them to leave town for a week, she added.
The seventh- and eighth-graders engaged in EPI program in Yellowstone National Park in June are the youngest group EPI had taken into the field. It was a five-day trip that in addition to educational outings and lessons included camping out in tents, preparing their own meals and washing dishes.
Tristan Redfield, 13, of Hardin, was excited about making the trip. He later struck a muscle-man pose when he saw he was being photographed.
“I’ve never been here before and wanted to come,” he said. “It was fun that we got to try and track down an antelope.”
WILDLIFE SEARCH
Searching for collared pronghorns that are part of an ongoing grazing study in Yellowstone was the EPI project in June. Rick Wallen, a park wildlife biologist who leads the bison program, acted as the group’s guide as they used radio telemetry to try and locate one of the collared pronghorns.
“We’re looking at trying to identify how the grazing ungulates overlap in use of space and plants across the landscape,” Wallen explained to the students while introducing them to the telemetry gear. “There’s a lot more overlap in the winter.”
By collecting fresh feces, the samples could be analyzed in a lab to compare what different plants the animals key on at different times of the year and at different elevations as the spring plants green up. This is the third year Wallen’s program has worked with EPI, whose students and instructors have also helped by gathering grassland monitoring data across about 20 study sites. That work is meant to show the grasses’ growth, amount of animal consumption and how the nutritional quality changes.
To help with all of the work, EPI’s instructors spend two to three days with Wallen’s technical team learning the ropes before the students are brought in. The students and instructors can then help Yellowstone researchers collect data, providing more “boots on the ground,” Pankratz noted.
TEACHER
Tess Kohler, a 23-year-old Traverse City, Michigan, resident, is one of EPI’s instructors. She started by teaching a winter course in Yellowstone, excited to get to spend more time in Montana and the park. Braving restless teens asking sometimes odd questions was just part of the assignment in June.
“Why are we moving so slow?” asked 14-year-old Chase Benner, of Libby, as half the group driving with Kohler hit one of Yellowstone’s typical animal traffic jams.
“What’s your guess?” Kohler asked.
“Is a super volcano exploding?” Benner yelled excitedly.
Gains for the younger students were measured a bit differently, something as simple as learning how to wash dishes or prepare a meal impressed Kohler.
“Matt was just a really great student to have on the course,” Kohler said of Matthew Hock, 14, of Libby. “He was just incredibly kind to all of the students.”
CHANGING LIVES
Pankratz said the program has already changed some of his students’ lives. Alumni are now invited back on their own trips.
“That’s one of the huge goals of our program is to give the capacity to make change,” he said, and to share the knowledge the students acquired in their community.
“Us being here in Montana with the world’s first national park, what a great place to be,” Pankratz said.
The location puts the students right in the middle of science research that sometimes forms the basis for policies and decisions that affect Yellowstone, its wildlife management and Montana.
“It’s an awesome opportunity,” he said.

As a reminder, The Girls’ Index shared compelling data on girls in the United States and was the largest survey of its kind, with 17,502 girls in fifth through 12th grades participating from schools nationwide. Researchers collected data for the first time in 2017 and then again in 2023. They explored six categories of concern, which included confidence, social media, stress and well-being, school, leadership, and relationships. The purpose of the study was to understand girls’ thoughts, experiences, perceptions, beliefs and behaviors — a tall order indeed! This research can be helpful for parents, teachers, school counselors, faith-based youth leaders, neighbors and others who can positively influence girls and young women.
According to the index, in 2017, 87% of girls in fifth grade liked going to school, and in 2023 the percentage had decreased to 68% — a 19% drop! Here are some reasons why: Only 39% felt they belonged at school, only 39% believed they could “really be themselves at school,” and only 43% felt like “people at their school really cared about them.”
On the flip side, girls who responded that they could truly be themselves at school were six times more likely to like school, and girls who believed they had an adult at school who cared about them were 65% more likely to enjoy school. And 70% of girls who felt a sense of “belonging” at school were more likely to enjoy going. Of course, vast research links positive attitudes about attending school to better educational outcomes.
Other survey results that I found particularly intriguing include the following: first, 41% of participants said that “girl drama and fighting keep them from wanting to attend school,” with the highest percentage (52%) being fifth- and sixth-grade girls. Second, girls noticed gender differences in their classes, with more than a quarter (28%) of girls not wanting to take certain classes because there were not many girls in them. Third, on the positive side, 61% did say that someone at their school was “helping them plan for life after high school.” And, finally, 86% of girls wanted a career that provided the opportunity for them to help others.
I was particularly struck by the finding that the presence of supportive adults at school was critical to girls’ connections at school and their feelings of belonging. We often focus on girls’ relationships with their friends, which is important as well, but it was heartening to learn that adults at school can have a profound impact on girls today. In fact, teen girls who say they have adults at school who care about them were 65% more likely to enjoy school and 76% more likely to feel like they belong.
The bottom line is that if girls have even one adult at school who they believe cares about them, better outcomes will occur. The person could be a teacher, school counselor, administrator or staff member. We need to make sure these individuals know of the potential profound impact they have on tween and teen girls. Frankly, we cannot simply rely on parental influence, as we have often done in past years, to help a young woman navigate these challenging years. It truly takes a village to raise a child.
To me, the takeaways from this research are straightforward:
First, school administrators, school counselors, teachers and students — with feedback from parents — can find ways to increase feelings of belonging within their student bodies, especially so that students can feel they can be authentic in school settings.
Second, we need to ensure that adults who work and volunteer in schools know of their potential impact on girls, and we need to implement best practices to help girls cultivate supportive relationships with caring adults. However, we should be mindful that it is often the girls who do not want to cultivate these relationships who need them the most.
Finally, we can help girls cultivate supportive relationships with other girls. Girls may be socialized to believe that “drama” has a place in their relationships with each other. We must counter these messages and provide opportunities for meaningful social and emotional support.
School is critically important for girls and young women, and finding ways to enhance girls’ school experience is foundational for their success in any life domain. It is time for us to step forward to be more involved in promoting helpful and positive ways for the future generations of Utahns.

Agile Modeling is a methodology that applies Agile principles specifically to software design and documentation activities. It emerged as a practice within the Agile movement to address how teams should approach creating models and documentation in an iterative development environment.
At its core, Agile Modeling embraces the values of simplicity, feedback, communication, courage, and humility. Rather than creating extensive documentation upfront, Agile Modeling advocates for creating just enough models to solve the immediate problem at hand. Models are treated as tools for thinking and communication rather than deliverables themselves.
Key practices of Agile Modeling include:
1. Active stakeholder participation - involving customers and users throughout the modeling process
2. Creating multiple models in parallel - using various modeling techniques to explore different aspects of the system
3. Iterative modeling - revisiting and refining models as more is learned
4. Model with a purpose - only create models that serve a specific, valuable purpose
5. Travel light - keep only those models that provide ongoing value
Agile Modeling recognizes that different types of models (like UML diagrams, user stories, wireframes, etc.) serve different purposes and should be selected based on what best communicates the necessary information.
The methodology doesn't reject documentation but repositions it as a means to an end rather than an end itself. Documentation is created when it adds value, focusing on quality over quantity.
By integrating modeling activities into the iterative Agile cycle, Agile Modeling helps teams maintain alignment between design concepts and implementation, enabling them to respond to change more effectively while still maintaining a coherent vision of the system architecture.

Top Ways AI is Revolutionizing Digital Marketing Strategies!
12/9/2024 7:08:00 AM efoxinstitute Team
Learn how AI in Digital Marketing is transforming the marketing landscape at Efox Institute of IT Training, one of the best institutions for learning. AI enhances various aspects of marketing strategy through automation, personalization, and data-driven insights. Here's a breakdown of how AI is reshaping digital marketing.
1. Predictive Analytics for Smarter Marketing
AI Tools for Marketing leverage predictive analytics to analyze vast amounts of data and predict future customer behavior, trends, and purchasing patterns. By understanding patterns in past customer data, AI can forecast which products or services a customer might be interested in next, allowing businesses to craft targeted and timely marketing campaigns. For example, e-commerce platforms use AI to recommend products based on previous browsing behavior, while businesses can more accurately predict seasonal trends and stock levels. This enables marketers to be proactive rather than reactive, ensuring their campaigns align with customer expectations and demands.
2. Personalization at Scale
AI-powered marketing is one of the biggest trends in digital marketing, and AI is driving it to new heights. AI allows businesses to provide personalized content to users at scale, which improves engagement and boosts conversions. By analyzing user data such as past interactions, location, interests, and behavior, AI creates tailored experiences for each customer. For instance, AI can help create personalized email marketing campaigns where each message is tailored to the recipient’s specific preferences or browsing history. Similarly, AI-powered websites can change the content and layout dynamically based on the user’s behavior. This kind of personalization fosters a deeper connection with the audience, making the customer feel valued and understood.
3. AI-powered chatbots for 24/7 Customer Support
AI in Digital Marketing has brought about the widespread use of AI-powered chatbots, which enhance customer service by providing instant, round-the-clock support. These chatbots use Natural Language Processing (NLP) to understand and respond to customer inquiries, solving problems and guiding users through the purchasing process in real-time. Chatbots are becoming more sophisticated, and able to handle complex customer requests beyond basic questions, from tracking orders to providing product recommendations based on user preferences. This results in faster response times and an improved customer experience, without needing human intervention for every query. Additionally, chatbots help businesses reduce operational costs by automating customer support.
4. Enhanced SEO with AI Tools
AI Tools for Marketing help improve SEO strategies by analyzing massive datasets to identify relevant keywords, monitor search trends, and assess content performance. These tools can predict search engine ranking factors and suggest content optimization strategies that will improve visibility and ranking on search engines. AI algorithms help businesses discover untapped keywords and phrases that customers are searching for, which can be incorporated into content to improve search engine results. AI also helps analyze competitor strategies, providing insights into their strengths and weaknesses, and allowing businesses to refine their own SEO efforts. With AI’s help, marketers can stay ahead of changing search engine algorithms and trends, ensuring long-term SEO success.
5. Marketing Automation for Streamlined Campaigns
AI-powered marketing is revolutionizing marketing automation by enabling businesses to run campaigns with minimal human intervention. AI tools can automate tasks like email marketing, social media management, content scheduling, and even data analysis. For example, AI tools can automatically send personalized emails to customers based on their browsing history or past purchases, optimizing engagement without the need for manual input. These tools can also monitor the performance of campaigns in real time, adjusting parameters like timing, content, and audience targeting to improve results. Automation allows businesses to deliver consistent messaging across multiple channels, saving time and increasing efficiency, while freeing marketers to focus on more strategic, creative tasks.
6. AI-Driven Digital Advertising
AI in Digital Marketing is transforming digital advertising by optimizing ad placements and targeting strategies. AI algorithms analyze customer data, such as browsing history, demographic information, and purchasing behavior, to identify the most effective audience for each ad. By delivering ads to the right people at the right time, AI reduces ad spend waste and increases conversion rates. Additionally, AI-powered marketing helps advertisers create dynamic ads that adapt to user behavior in real time. For example, if a customer shows interest in a particular product, AI can serve them personalized ads featuring similar products. This increases the relevance of the ads and boosts the likelihood of conversion. AI also helps in determining the most effective ad formats and channels, ensuring that advertising budgets are spent more efficiently.
7. Data-Driven Decision Making
AI in Digital Marketing’s ability to analyze and process large amounts of data makes it easier for marketers to make data-driven decisions. AI tools collect data from various sources, such as customer interactions, social media, website traffic, and sales, and provide actionable insights that guide marketing strategies.

The ethereal beauty of antique stained glass windows is one of the most captivating features of historic churches. These vibrant panes do more than adorn sacred spaces; they tell stories, evoke spirituality, and preserve centuries of craftsmanship. Yet, as time takes its toll, preserving these remarkable works of art becomes a responsibility for church leaders and conservationists alike.
This guide explores how to protect, repair, and restore antique stained glass windows, addressing threats, sharing preventative measures, and guiding you toward ethical restoration practices. Whether you’re a church steward or a historic preservation enthusiast, you’ll learn how to ensure these treasures endure for future generations.
Understanding the Threats to Antique Stained Glass
Antique stained glass, with its intricate design and delicate craftsmanship, faces numerous repair challenges that threaten its longevity. Properly understanding these threats is crucial for implementing effective preservation and restoration strategies. These challenges primarily fall into three key areas: environmental factors, human interference, and neglect. Each of these elements, if left unaddressed, has the potential to cause irreversible damage to these priceless treasures.
Environmental Factors
The natural environment poses one of the greatest challenges to the preservation and repair of antique stained glass, as it is perpetually exposed to the elements. Prolonged exposure to ultraviolet (UV) rays from direct sunlight can fade the vivid colors that make antique stained glass so distinctive. Over time, this bleaching effect can strip panels of their vibrancy and artistic intent.
Temperature changes also exert long-term stress on stained glass installations. Fluctuations between warm and cold conditions can cause the expansion and contraction of both the lead cames (the metal support structure holding glass pieces together) and the glass itself. This process weakens the structural integrity of the entire window, resulting in cracks, loose sections, or warped frames.
Additionally, wind-driven debris, heavy precipitation, and hailstorms can physically damage fragile glass surfaces. The protective properties of the surrounding stone or wooden frames may deteriorate, allowing rainwater to infiltrate and contribute to internal damage. Moisture accumulation is of particular concern, as repeated exposure to rain or condensation often leads to corrosion of the lead cames. Over time, the gradual disintegration of these critical supports can result in sagging, bowed panels, or worse, complete collapse. Without mitigation and proper repair, these environmental stressors create a slow but relentless process of decay on your antique stained glass.
Vandalism and Accidental Damage
Unlike the slow ravages of the elements, manmade damage to antique stained glass often occurs suddenly and at times, irreversibly, requiring immediate repair. Acts of vandalism, whether driven by malice, carelessness, or ignorance, range from broken panes to deliberate graffiti on the glass. Such harm may not only destroy individual pieces but compromise the overall cohesion of historic designs, distorting the original purpose and story conveyed by the windows.
Even well-intentioned but untrained handling of stained glass can be detrimental. Improper cleaning techniques, the use of harsh chemicals, or amateur restoration efforts often lead to avoidable damage. For instance, abrasive scrubbing can scratch surfaces or destabilize painted details, while inappropriate repairs may introduce further structural vulnerabilities. The preservation of antique stained glass requires an informed and skilled approach, making professional intervention and repair a necessity.
Neglect
Perhaps the most insidious threat to antique stained glass is neglect. Unlike the visible destruction caused by harsh weather or vandalism, the impact of inattention often goes unnoticed until significant damage occurs. Over years or decades, minor issues such as loose glass pieces, discolored panels, or weakening cames may quietly worsen. Without routine inspections and preventive maintenance, these problems inevitably lead to severe structural vulnerabilities and the potential collapse of entire sections.
Neglected frames and support systems are particularly concerning, as the failure of surrounding materials can cause undue strain on the fragile stained glass. Weakened or decayed wooden or metal frames allow movement within the glass panels, leading to cracks or other damage. Furthermore, the lack of proper protective barriers, such as storm glazing, leaves stained glass susceptible to environmental harm and human interference alike.
Recognizing, addressing, and repairing these forms of neglect is an essential step in preserving the historical and artistic legacy embodied by antique stained glass windows. By proactively identifying vulnerabilities and implementing targeted interventions, churches and preservationists have the power to safeguard these treasures from the erosive passage of time.
Preventative Measures to Safeguard Stained Glass
Preserving and repairing antique stained glass windows requires a thoughtful and comprehensive approach. These irreplaceable works of art are not only visual masterpieces but also bearers of centuries-old craftsmanship, cultural narratives, and religious symbolism. Protecting them demands proactive strategies that balance historical authenticity with modern protective technologies. Below are the essential measures that organizations and individuals can take to ensure the longevity of these delicate treasures.
Scheduled Inspections
The first and most critical step in preserving stained glass is implementing a regular schedule of inspections. Routine evaluations, ideally conducted annually or after significant weather events, are imperative for identifying early signs of damage. The professionals at Willet Stained Glass Studios – who are equipped to detect issues such as bowing, cracked or corroded cames, loosened pieces of glass, and moisture infiltration – can perform these inspections at no cost. Documentation during these inspections is equally vital, creating a historical record of the windows’ condition over time. This enables antique stained glass preservationists to track changes, prioritize repairs, and assess the efficacy of previous conservation efforts. Without consistent scrutiny, minor issues can escalate to catastrophic damage, making regular inspections the foundation of any preventive strategy.
Cleaning and Maintenance
Accumulated dust, grime, and sediment can dull the brilliance of stained glass, obscuring its intricate designs and colors. Cleaning must be conducted with care to prevent inadvertent damage. A gentle approach is paramount – soft brushes, distilled water, and mild detergents are recommended to remove surface dirt without scratching the glass or destabilizing delicate painted details. Avoid harsh chemicals, abrasive materials, or high-pressure cleaning tools, all of which can compromise the integrity of the glass. It is worth noting that professional intervention is advisable for cleaning, as the trained conservators at Willet Stained Glass Studios can employ techniques both effective and non-invasive. Beyond just cleaning the glass, attention should also be given to cleaning frames and surrounding materials, as dirt accumulation can degrade structural supports over time.
Protective Glazing Solutions
One of the most effective ways to safeguard antique stained glass from environmental harm and vandalism – and future costly repairs – is through the installation of exterior protective glazing. These coverings function as a shield against UV rays, wind-blown debris, and physical impacts, thereby mitigating the wear and tear caused by environmental exposure. However, protective glazing systems must be implemented with careful planning to avoid unintended consequences. For instance, improper ventilation of these coverings can trap moisture, which promotes condensation and accelerates the deterioration of both the glass and cames. Specialized, ventilated designs allow air circulation while maintaining the necessary barrier against external threats. Clear, non-reflective materials are often preferred for protective glazing, ensuring the aesthetic appeal of stained glass remains undiminished.
Frame Stabilization and Restoration
The structural integrity of stained glass windows relies not only on the glass itself but also on the surrounding frames and support systems. Neglected or deteriorating wooden or metal frames can pose serious risks, as weakened materials lead to unnecessary strain on the delicate stained glass components. Skilled craftsmen should conduct frame restoration or replacement to maintain historical authenticity. Where possible, modern reinforcements can be subtly integrated without detracting from the window’s original character. Weatherproofing vulnerable frame elements is also essential to prevent water infiltration and reduce the risk of rot or corrosion. Properly supported antique stained glass is less likely to experience movement, reducing the likelihood of stress fractures or misalignment and reducing the need for future repairs.
Environmental Control
Controlling the internal environment of the building housing stained glass plays a significant role in safeguarding these treasures. Consistent temperature and humidity levels help reduce the physical stress caused by thermal expansion and contraction. Installing humidity controls, dehumidifiers, or even low-energy heating systems in areas surrounding stained glass windows can mitigate the effects of adverse environmental conditions. Limiting direct sunlight through the use of interior UV films or shading elements may further protect against color fading while preventing heat buildup near the glass. A thoughtful environmental control strategy creates a stable atmosphere that minimizes wear and tear over time.
Professional Antique Stained Glass Repair When Necessary
Despite rigorous preventive measures, certain damage or degradation may require intervention beyond typical care. Engaging Willet Stained Glass Studios for restoration and repair ensures that such interventions are performed with utmost precision and respect for the historical fabric of the antique stained glass. Antique stained glass restoration projects might include replacing damaged cames, consolidating weakened glass sections, retouching painted designs, or repairing worn protective barriers. Our efforts are guided by a foundational principle of reversibility, where possible, ensuring future generations can make informed decisions about additional conservation work. Our specialist knowledge and antique stained glass and the use of appropriate materials are essential during restoration, allowing for repairs that remain both functional and true to the original craftsmanship.
Education and Advocacy
Finally, ensuring the long-term survival of stained glass windows rests on fostering widespread awareness and appreciation of their value. Educational programs for church staff, caretakers, and the community can help prevent well-meaning but damaging acts, such as improper cleaning of antique stained glass or attempts at amateur repairs. Advocacy for funding and resources dedicated to stained glass preservation can lead to stronger preservation efforts on both local and national levels. By instilling a shared responsibility for these remarkable works of art, we can inspire collective efforts to protect them.
Through these proactive measures – grounded in careful planning, skilled intervention, and a reverence for historical artistry – it is possible to preserve the timeless beauty and cultural significance of stained glass windows for generations to come.
Restoration vs. Replacement: Ethical Considerations
When faced with aging or damaged antique stained glass windows, the decision between repair and replacement is highly significant. This choice encompasses not only practical outcomes but also critical ethical, historical, and artistic considerations. Churches, community leaders, and preservationists must act as stewards of the cultural and spiritual heritage embodied in these remarkable works of art, ensuring that any intervention aligns with the principles of conservation and respect for the craftsmanship of past generations.
The Case for Restoration
Restoration remains the gold standard for conserving stained glass, as it prioritizes the integrity of original materials and honors the intent of the artists who created these masterpieces. The process involves carefully assessing the window’s condition to determine the most appropriate, minimally invasive interventions. Common antique stained glass restoration techniques include the soldering of broken joints, the realignment of misaligned panes, the replacement of missing or irreparably damaged glass pieces with carefully chosen replicas, and the repair or reinforcement of lead cames. Each of these techniques is executed with the utmost precision to retain the historical and aesthetic integrity of the artwork.
Critically, restoration avoids unnecessary alteration, preserving the unique craftsmanship and character of the stained glass. The patina of age, brushstrokes of hand-painted details, and nuances in the coloration of antique glass are all elements that cannot be recreated authentically in modern replicas. Furthermore, restoration enhances the structural stability of the window while mitigating potential risks from environmental or structural stressors. By preserving these fragile works, restoration ensures that they continue to inspire awe and spiritual reflection for future generations.
Beyond the technical aspects, restoration and repair also acknowledge the cultural responsibility of preserving heritage, as each antique stained glass window is not simply a decoration but a repository of stories, artistic achievement, and religious devotion. Its survival connects contemporary viewers to the people and values of the past, making restoration a bridge between eras, allowing the perpetuation of cultural identity and collective memory.
Avoiding Replacement
The alternative to repair and restoration – replacement – should be approached with great caution and used only in cases where the existing antique stained glass is too damaged to feasibly preserve. Replacement often results in the loss of historical authenticity, diminishing the cultural and spiritual significance of the artwork. While modern replicas can be visually impressive, they lack the unique qualities intrinsic to historic stained glass, such as the depth of hand-blown glass textures, the subtle imperfections of medieval craftsmanship, and the irreplaceable patina achieved through decades or even centuries of exposure.
Replacing antique windows with modern counterparts risks turning sacred and historical spaces into facsimiles of their former selves, disassociating them from the timeline of their cultural evolution. Buildings with rich legacies, such as churches or historic public structures, rely on their artistic elements to convey their historical narrative. Each stained glass window is a chapter in that narrative, and replacing it outright effectively erases part of that story.
Ethically, replacement can also set a precedent that undervalues preservation efforts, normalizing the loss of ancient works in favor of convenience or cost reduction. This not only compromises the cultural landscape but also diminishes the collective commitment to safeguarding history. Advocating for and implementing restoration over replacement sends a powerful message about the value placed on heritage and artistry.
The Importance of Expert Craftsmanship
Whether restoration and repair or, in rare cases, replacement is chosen for your antique stained glass windows, the involvement of master artisans and conservators is paramount. Willet Stained Glass Studios offers unmatched expertise, ensuring that interventions maintain fidelity to the original piece while adapting to modern conservation needs. When restoration is the chosen route, the process is undertaken with meticulous care, preserving every detail of craftsmanship. For unavoidable replacements, these studios produce windows that honor the spirit of the originals, though they must always be marked or documented to distinguish them from authentic historic works.
Balancing Values
Ultimately, the decision to restore or replace is not only a technical one but also a deeply ethical choice. The intrinsic value of historic stained glass goes beyond its physical and aesthetic aspects. It serves as an enduring symbol of artistry, faith, and cultural unity. By choosing restoration where feasible, church and community leaders demonstrate their commitment to stewardship, entrusting these treasures to caretakers who will respect and uphold their legacy.
Partnering with expert studios, engaging stakeholders, and fostering a shared sense of responsibility ensures that the decision aligns with the historical, architectural, and spiritual importance of these irreplaceable works. Restoring rather than replacing stained glass preserves its essence and ensures that these magnificent windows continue to illuminate spaces with their timeless beauty for centuries to come.
Funding and Resources for Preservation
Preserving and repairing antique stained glass is undoubtedly a substantial financial commitment, yet the investment is critical to safeguarding these irreplaceable works of art and heritage. Thankfully, a variety of funding sources and support networks are available to assist churches, civic organizations, and preservationists in their efforts to maintain and restore stained glass windows. Understanding and navigating these options is key to ensuring successful preservation projects and the eternal survival of these cultural treasures.
Grants and Financial Aid
A number of national and international organizations recognize the cultural and historic value of stained glass and offer financial support for its preservation. The National Fund for Sacred Places is one such organization, providing targeted grants to houses of worship looking to restore and preserve their historic features, including stained glass windows. Similarly, the Getty Foundation offers grants through its Conserving Modern Architecture Initiative, which, while primarily focused on modern works, also extends funding to stained glass projects that align with its objectives.
Other programs such as the Save America’s Treasures grant, administered by the National Park Service in partnership with organizations including the National Endowment for the Humanities and the Institute of Museum and Library Services, offer substantial financial support to protect nationally significant artifacts and sites. Specific to religious institutions, the Partners for Sacred Places grants are designed to assist congregations in preserving the architectural and artistic integrity of their spaces. Regional and local grant programs may also be available depending on the location, providing additional opportunities for funding.
Churches, nonprofit organizations, and preservation societies are encouraged to research these programs thoroughly, understand application requirements, and present compelling cases for why their stained glass restoration project deserves support. Clear documentation of the historical and architectural significance of the windows, coupled with a detailed project plan and budget, greatly increases the likelihood of grant approval.
Donations and Fundraising Campaigns
While grants provide substantial assistance, they rarely cover the entire cost of preservation projects. For this reason, community-driven fundraising efforts are an essential supplement to external funding. Successful campaigns often involve both the congregation and the wider community, emphasizing the cultural and historical importance of the stained glass and its role as a shared legacy.
Innovative fundraising ideas include hosting tours of the church or building to showcase the stained glass, providing educational talks on its history, or even creating sponsorship opportunities where donors can “adopt” a pane or section of the window. Crowdfunding via online platforms can also extend outreach to a global audience, particularly appealing to those with personal or familial ties to the building. By leveraging social media and storytelling, churches and historic sites can highlight the urgency and importance of the restoration effort, building an emotional connection that resonates with potential donors.
Partnering with Conservation Experts
Beyond financial assistance, technical and strategic partnerships with conservation organizations play a vital role in stained glass preservation. Organizations such as the American Glass Guild and the Association for Preservation Technology provide invaluable resources, from professional consultation and technical expertise to educational programs for those undertaking restoration projects.
These organizations often maintain extensive networks of highly skilled artisans, conservators, and studios, connecting project leaders with the expertise needed for complex restorations. Leveraging these networks not only ensures access to master craftsmen but also reinforces credibility when applying for grants or soliciting donations – demonstrating a commitment to preserving the highest standards of craftsmanship and authenticity.
Tax Incentives and Other Benefits
Many projects benefit from tax incentives available for the preservation of historic properties. Federal tax credits such as those enacted under the Historic Tax Credit program can be applied to properties listed on or eligible for the National Register of Historic Places, further reducing the financial burden on owners or stakeholders. Additionally, state and local governments often provide similar benefits through property tax abatements or preservation-specific grants that encourage stewardship of historic architecture.
Church and building leaders contemplating preservation work should consult with tax professionals and historic preservation specialists to fully understand and take advantage of these incentives. Explaining these potential financial benefits to donors and stakeholders can also strengthen their commitment to supporting the project.
Building a Long-Term Preservation Strategy
Preservation is not merely a one-time effort but an ongoing responsibility, making long-term planning essential for success. Establishing a dedicated maintenance and preservation fund ensures that resources will be available for future needs. Recurring donations, endowments, or legacy giving initiatives can help sustain these funds over time, providing financial stability and continuity.
By incorporating restoration and conservation into a broader stewardship plan, organizations demonstrate a deep respect for their cultural heritage and encourage stakeholders to view preservation as a shared, continuous effort. Engaging congregations, communities, and experts alike helps foster a culture of collective responsibility and pride in maintaining the stained glass windows for generations to come.
Supporting the Legacy of Stained Glass
Through a combination of financial aid, community involvement, and expert guidance, historic stained glass windows can be preserved and celebrated as enduring testaments to artistry and faith. Churches, preservationists, and community leaders are urged to utilize the resources available to them, not only to restore these treasures but to ensure that their legacy endures.

>>8395 I lik watching these interviews with old vidya devs. You can tell that they had genuine passion. It wasn't just a commercial product, they were just a bunch of nerds making some cool shit for other nerds to enjoy. Different to nowadays where games are made by clueless suits with zero connection to the player base who just mindlessly follow trends and mass appeal so that nothing new ever gets tried. I'm glad we have the TR devs carrying the torch nowadays because there's no way Bethesda will ever be allowed to do anything interesting again (and I doubt they'd even be capable of it anymore anyway tbh).
>>8397 >>8399 That image aged pretty badly lol Reminds me of playing Oblivion on a potato. My PC was so shit that I downloaded a mod called "Oldblivion" (I think) which let you turn the graphics down even further than the lowest settings and still only got like 15-20fps at most. Eventually I just caved and bought the console version. >tfw missed out on all those weird fucked up Japanese porn mods
>>8401 counteracting brainrot takes months for most people not a couple minutes or however long these fake loading screens last lmao that's like saying you counteracted your emphysema by not smoking for a day
>>8449 That screenshot is from the Skyrim mod but yeah similar thing with that one too >im still waiting on the hlaalu update for TR I'm pretty sure that already came out a few months back, there's a bunch of Hlaalu content now that wasn't there when I last played anyway
>>8450 >enchant all your shit with spell absorb >make a bunch of high range spells >hit yourself with them >literally infinite magicka I have no idea how someone would have trouble with magic in Daggerfall, it's even more OP than Morrowind
Just started a new playthrough on OpenMW and have to say it has some really nice unique mods now with the new lua scripting system. I particularly like this one which lets NPCs heal and adds some much-needed difficulty to the game. It's not quite at the same level as MWSE yet, but personally I prefer a more vanilla-esque experience anyway. Thought it's worth mentioning since we seem to have a lot of linuxfags here now
>>8466 Sure (totally not dolphin porn btw) I don't like Nexus either but they pretty much have a total monopoly over TES/Fallout modding so there isn't much choice but to use it
>>8464 proton doesn't let you reg for stuff if they think the email is a burner they send a generic message that "hey we intercepted this registration email we think you're using our email for spam >:^((((("
>>8473 Really? Must be a new thing, I used a bunch of them a year or 2 ago to spam free trials on AI sites. Guess other people prolly had the same idea. Maybe it'd work if you sent some generic emails to yourself before signing up to anything? idk But yeah it's difficult to find working burners these days because all the sites ask for your fucking phone number, it's bullshit
>>8452 nah thats just part of it the big one is gonna have the actual hlaalu capital of narsis and fill out their questlines. narsis is supposed to be lik an old ebonheart kinda deal, where its absolutely fucking enormous.
>>8453 PROTIP: you only need one item with spell absorb. it acts like an ability, not as a cast-when-held spell, so itll never break. you just need empty spell points to be filled up and itll always absorb
its also a p common enchanted drop, so no need to go out of your way to enchant it. you almost always eventually end up with at least one "cloth amulet of magicka" or some such. and thats all you rly need
you wanna know a gud one to enchant? find a wand wands are among the best cast-on-use spell catalysts for their price and weight, then enchant it with cast-on-use shalidors mirror. if you have that and spell absorb going on at the same time, daedra lords/seducers and ancient vamps go from potentially OHKOing you, to self btfoening themselves
>>8476 Oh right, I'm doing a Hlaalu playthrough myself rn so prolly should have waited too lol. But honestly there's already enough content that you'd never be able to touch all of it in one playthrough anyway, I'm lik level 15 and only just did the dwemer puzzle box quest, next time might get a slower leveling mod or make a separate character just for mainland content.
>>7675 Decided to look this project up again and surprisingly it's actually making some progress. Apparently it's mostly complete programming-wise and it's mostly just assets that need to be done now. Tho the dev decided to hardcode a bunch of subjective changes including: >survival mechanics >armor skills (like in the later games) >no fast travel (instead replaced by a Morrowind-style system) >no maps in towns or dungeons Because of this the project lost a lot of popularity since most people just wanted vanilla Daggerfall but with the Tamriel map and not some hardcore autism mod. So now the project has been split into 2 different versions: >ProjectN (a full DFU fork with the full sized Tamriel map and all the changes) >MiniProjectN (a mod for regular DFU that just adds in a scaled-down version of the Tamriel map and makes no other changes) Apparently he's planning an initial demo release in the next few weeks/months in order to garner some interest and recruit some more people to make assets, so we'll see how it goes I guess.
>getting you're ship raided by pirates during fast travel is now a thing in Daggerfall with the new version of Warm Ashes This looks rally cool. Apparently the author also plans on adding some piracy-related quests. Always thought it was wasted RP potential that smuggling is a big thing in TES lore, but not really represented in-game that much beyond random loot in bandit caves and that one pirate ship in Oblivion. And that the cutlass weapons are always totally fucking useless beyond lik level 5.
Been trying out the Cyrodiil mod and it seems bretty good so far. Looks nice and runs pretty well for a Project Tamriel mod (the old version would go up to like 10-15fps max lol). The quests are pretty much on-par with vanilla Morrowind's ones. They have decent enough writing but are also very basic so it's a little boring for my level 20 dude. I'd probably go over there early in your playthrough.
The stand-out thing for me is the way that religion is presented. In Oblivion it just felt like some weird Christianity spinoff with churches that looked straight outta rural England. In this mod it's a lot closer to how Greco-Roman paganism was irl. On top of the main gods you also have a bunch of local deities, saints, heroes and mystery cults, plus the Order of the One which is pretty much akin to something like Pythagoreanism or Neoplatonism. It's probably the first time I've played a vidya game based on Western paganism where it feels like the devs actually know some basic shit about theology.
>>8514 hot take: DF has such a cool mod scene ive never seen a mod scene thats this active without it just being a bunch of coomer mods, or lik russian machine translation spam. hell, even the coomer mods like red lantern have some decent quests. its got such a glut of gud quest mods. it takes DF from the charming little overambitious oddity that it was, to lik arguably one of the better fantasy RPG/sims around. certainly the best free one
but i already had a drug mod that had it so you could get in twouble for selling/holding drugs, so piracy would be the next logical thing to add to it problem is: no rivers. in DFUs engine, water can only spawn at sealevel. thats why all lakes you do see, lik the ones on betony are these sheer cliff/fingerlake lookin thangs also some of the """ports""" are miles inland if no valid port exists, it defaults to the capital.
>>8532 is it supposed to be set in late 3rd era? i figured it was a TC mod, not like a TR thing
>>8534 It's part of the Project Tamriel series along with the Skyrim one, which is more or less the same thing as TR. They use the same Tamriel_Data assets and follow the same philosophy of sticking almost entirely to pre-Oblivion lore. I think it's mostly the same devs too. To get there you just get a boat from Old Ebonheart. Tbh it's one problem with all these landmass mods that you get OP way too quick (which was already bad enough in vanilla Morrowind) but it's nice to have all the new content. I'm like 30 hours in and have still barely touched Vvardenfell , it's crazy.
>>8534 Yeah the Daggerfall mods that I've tried feel very natural, like they're filling in the blanks and turning the game into what it could've been if it wasn't limited by the fact that it was made by like 5 dudes with basically no budget in the 90s.
>>8595 >Make everything brown instead of magical-looking Why? Not like I'll buy/play it, Morrowind/Daggerfall fills the RPG niche and Skyrim fills the hack'n'slash niche. This is either just upscaled Oblivion or it's Oblivion built into the Skyrim engine, and neither one particularly appeals to me. Maybe the latter if and only if we get some Fallout 3->New Vegas levels of improvements.
>>8599 iirc the original leak said they were using Unreal engine. Wouldn't surprise me if there's truth to it since a lot of companies will test the water with a new engine by making a remake before developing anything new. Also Todd has said in the past that he doesn't like remakes, tho who knows how much influence he still has in the company after the Microsoft buyout.
I don't really know who it's supposed to appeal to. For OG Oblivion fans the whole appeal is the jank and nostalgia, and the hardcore fans mostly hate anything past Morrowind. Even skybabbies would probably hesitate to play anything outside of their ultra-specific modded setup with 6 gorillion coomer and le funny shrek mods installed.
>>8600 >test the water with a new engine by making a remake before developing anything new creation engine was rart on FO4, its bonkers for TES6. if this uses unreal lel i guess, doubt anyone left there can fix or code an engine any more >I don't really know who it's supposed to appeal to beth gaymes always get hoovered up no matter what, but theres a lot of nu babbys who want consoomer cred now that gayming is kewl would be surprised if it's less than a million sold (depending on release consoles) even with gaypass

Crude prices are in no man’s land as energy traders look to see what happens with both debt ceiling talks and with US and China tensions.
Chevron’s acquisition of driller PDC Energy will help their operations in the US production basins, but that doesn't mean we will see an immediate impact with US output over the short-term.
It might be hard for oil to make a major move if debt ceiling talks remain ongoing and before we get Tuesday’s flash PMI readings for the US and Europe. Oil is wavering and that should continue as long traders await a major update with the current macro backdrop.
Gold
Gold is hovering below the $2000 level as Wall Street awaits a meaningful update with debt ceiling negotiations and to see how bad tensions get between the US and China.
Until we see market stress, gold is drifting lower. President Biden’s meeting with speaker McCarthy will happen well after the US close and that could lead to some defensive bets that support investor pessimism that a deal will get easily done.
Gold will likely remain a choppy trade as we head towards the X-date, but if DC is able to get a deal done early this week, that could lead to a decent selloff for bullion towards the $1950 region.
Bitcoin
Crypto traders are not sure how Bitcoin will behave throughout the next several days of debt ceiling negotiations. Congress has raised the debt ceiling 78 times since 1960, which means the US has always paid its bills on time. The risk of default is very small but if it were to happen that could feel like an uppercut to risk appetite which would send cryptos sharply lower. Bitcoin appears content to trade near the lower boundaries of its recent trading range between $26,500 and $30,000

Waves – energy transfers that travel and spread outward from the site of origin – were a recent focus for Mount Madonna School (MMS) third and fourth grades students, who have been learning about wave physics, including the behaviors, properties and types of waves.
As a conclusion to their study of the science of waves, the students work in small, mixed-grade groups to study and test the effects of dampening, tension and amplitude on wave creation using a computer simulation called “Wave on a String,” a science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) resource made available through the University of Colorado, Boulder.
“This is so cool,” said fourth grader Harper Sebok, as she adjusted the simulation settings and watched the effect on the results.
“Then you reduce the tension, there is more space between the waves and they are slower” noted fourth grade student Hendrix Kasznar.
“Yes,” said teacher Nick Cabassa. “And what happens when there is more tension?”
“The more tension there is, the faster the wave goes,” answered third grader Lio Mallery.
Next Cabassa showed the students a simple wave machine he’d constructed with classroom supplies and demonstrated how to use demonstrate wave action. Several students stepped forward and took turns testing the wave simulator using different amounts of tension and amplitude.
Then, using small colorful “pom-poms,” wooden craft sticks, masking tape, rulers and glue sticks, students worked in small groups to construct their own wave simulator models, carefully affixing the various pieces to the yard-long pieces of tape in two-inch intervals.
“It’s great to see the students using their hands and building something that helps them to see science in action,” said Cabassa. “The looks on their faces when they saw it work, were priceless. My next step will be to combine each group’s wave simulator to create a single large one for the classroom that they can engage with all year.”

Mastering Puzzle Games: Expert Strategies
Puzzle games are more than just casual entertainment - they're exercises in logic, pattern recognition, and strategic thinking. Here are expert strategies for various puzzle game types:
Match-Three Games:
The key to mastering match-three games lies in thinking several moves ahead. Instead of focusing on immediate matches, successful players scan the entire board for potential combinations and chain reactions. Look for opportunities to create special pieces through larger matches, and prioritize clearing obstacles that restrict board movement.
Logic Puzzles:
Success in logic puzzles requires systematic approach and deductive reasoning. Start with the most constrained areas first - these are spots where you have the most information available. Use process of elimination methodically, and always validate your assumptions.
Key techniques for logic puzzles:
- Keep track of both positive and negative information
- Look for patterns and symmetries in the puzzle structure
- Use pencil marks to track possibilities
- Develop a consistent solving order
Spatial Puzzles:
Spatial puzzles challenge your ability to manipulate objects mentally. Visualize the end state before making moves, and break down complex problems into smaller, manageable steps.
Pattern Recognition:
Developing strong pattern recognition skills is crucial for all puzzle types. Train yourself to identify common patterns and their variations. Start with simple patterns and gradually work up to more complex ones.

Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re:
And yet you still seem to ignore that the most absolutely on-point case - someone wanted by the US for violating the espionage act in a matter that was very personal to the US President at a politically sensitive time for him, was told to pound sand.
I mean, call me Mr Silly if you want, but I'd think that when we're talking about "Assange being extradited to the US for Espionage charges", the case of "American being extradited to the US for espionage charges" is a bit more relevant than "Egyptians being sent back to Egypt (with unproven US assistance) on the basis of some Egyptian allegations"
I mean, in one the only difference is the nationality of the subject (which makes the case - and precedent - stronger, while the other has the same sort of correlation you'd find between a facebook homeopathy group and the FDA on how to treat covid (the vaguest of similarities, but every detail and fact different)
It's not that you're trying to compare Apples and Oranges, it's that you're trying to compare Apples and Hay, and saying they must be similar because horses eat both.
I get why, as it was made a big deal of 10 years ago, when all this blew up, so it sticks in the mind, but it's a poor comparison at best, and if that is the best you can do to substantiate the position, that's not very strong, is it?
Also, it's almost always ONLY swedes that bring up the case. I can understand why - you feel a bit of shame for it - but trying to jam it into cases with little relevance to the ones at hand (especially when there are better ones) seem like nothing more than a weird form of flagellation.
Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re:
Ah the Agiza case, it always gets held up as some kind of weird justification.
You did misstate the details of the case though (no worries, many who refer to the case do, it comes because they're repeating what they've been told, not what happened)
So, they were asylum seekers, which failed (one using forged documents) so they were sent back, after getting assurances from Egypt.
That's not the same as guy there, looking to be extradited to the US (possibly) for espionage charges.
literally the only thing in common between that case and assange is 'they were sent overseas' - not even the method is the same, trying to conflate repatriation with extradition.
By contrast, the Howard case is damned near spot on in terms of 'case on point', and the only difference is Howard was american, Assange is Australian.
You're trying to call a dog a hippo, because it also has 4 feet and a mouth, because there was a hippo 20 years ago, and a very similar dog was 30 years ago.
Re: Re: Re: Re:
The stroke was a very very minor one (basically a bad panic attack) - so minor it happened in october and they only broke the news when they did to try and go for sympathy, because they know the court would have asked independent medical experts who'd have said 'its nothing'. Or why else do you think they waited until after the verdict to release news of something that happened on day 1 of the hearing, that they claim impacts the hearing?
And the 'assasination' claim, its literally just 'pompeo talking shit'. As always. EVERYONE else shot hm down, it wasn't 'planned', or 'plotted', it was an insecure loser having a mastibatory fantasy. There was never any plotting or planning. Every claim there was is a fabrication of wikileaks, just like the whole 'Clinton droning him' thing, which was also a wikileaks invention.
Re: Re: Re: Re:
Re: Re: What's a little torture of prisoners among nations?'
Is the freedom of press being destroyed though?
What Assange is being accused of is not what any responsible journalist would do. It's something journalism schools specifically say not to do... for this reason.
A lot of those making these claims are doing so on faulty information, treating wikileaks as an honest source, forgetting that they've been caught lying about their own cases in court too many times to count.
Multiple journalists went to prison, a major UK newspaper shut down. no-one claimed the 'end of a free press' then. why? Probably because News International didn't lie to other reporters as wikileaks has done.
Re: Re: Re:
"Only a denial of the claims. Which makes no sense for whistleblowers."
Good thing Assange isn't a whistleblower.
To be a whistleblower, means to be aware of conduct through your position, and then to 'blow the whistle on it' by revealing it to the public as an insider.
Worse for your claim, the timeline REALLY doesn't fit. Manning had cables/notes they tried to sell (!) to newspapers but they didn't want them, because they were nothing. ended up giving them away to wikileaks, who then wanted more, and so they got more, and eventually this video, which they edited to push the narrative of a "warcrime" by decontextualizing parts of it to give the desired narrative.
If it were whistleblowing, it'd be "manning finds video and wants to blow whistle on warcrimes shown in it, manning releases video to Assange who publishes it unedited"
When your justification for actions is claimed to be whistleblowing, but you don't get the thing you claim to be blowing the whistle on until after you've been pushing out other things, it just doesn't work.
Also, you don't seem to understand 'defense'. you don't get to defend yourself in an indictment because you literally don't. The defense is not there, the defendant is not represented because its only purpose is to show there's enough probable cause of a crime, no exculpatory counter-testimony (thats for trial)
What you're talking about is a particular kind of defense, a "public interest defense", which is also known as 'justification'. a "yes I did it but this is why' thing. Yes, thats not permitted under the law. But you do get a defense, you can question witnesses and evidence, undermine the process of getting them, question their accuracy.
You absolutely get a chance to defend yourself.
Re:
"They'd be less likely to roll over and hand him to the Americans than either the UK or Australia, that's for sure."
Well yes, that was his whole reason for applying for residency there. If only they didn't have those petty sex crime laws....
In fact (as he well knows) they absolutely don't extradite for these crimes. Had he been in Sweden, extradition would have failed, as they did for Eddie Howard, the only CIA officer to defect to the US. In 1991 he was arrested in Sweden in connection with espionage charges in the US for extradition. He was let go. That's despite him being a US citizen, and the espionage case being much stronger, PLUS it was 91 and Sweden was relying heavily on US protection if the soviet fall went really bad, OH, and can't forget that old 'presidential pressure', because what it was in Howard's case is like nothing else. Bush was working a re-election campaign, had been VP when Howard defected, and Ford's head of the CIA. Eddie Howard was PERSONAL to Bush.
And again, Assange knew this, he mentioned it at his press conference announcing his application for residency. It's what made his claim that he was fleeing to the embassy because of 'swedes handing him over to the US' so laughable (that and extradition law precludes handing people on)
Assange's problem is that he doesn't like being held responsible for his actions. he's always considered himself a genious, and if things went bad, it's someone else's fault, not his, so why should he have to pay the price. He's doing the work of God (himself) and how dare mortals with no vision get in his way. It's why wikileaks has had such a high turnover of people.
Re:
You never get a chance to defend yourself in an indictment, thats how they work.
And the 'accusations come from a fraudster paid by the CIA' is a claim made by wikileaks, and wikileaks only, and not based on any evidence.
"The same CIA who also plotted to assassinate him."
Yeah, they didn't. It's a constant claim by the social media accounts tied to Assange, but they all reference back to the same yahoo story, the story that no-one reads past the first paragraph or two it seems. Because if you'd read down to the meat of the story, you'd see that the 'assassination' was an idea spitballed by trump and pomeo, and shot down at every turn by those it'd have to pass. Basically, it was on the 'bleach and rectal lights to fight covid' level of consideration.
In short, there's basically 3 people that have strongly and repeatedly talked about assassinating Assange, Pompeo, Trump, and Stella Morris, and the first two stopped talking about it after being told it wasn't going to happen, but with the intensity and ferver she's been going on about it, it's almost like she's wanting it to happen.
Re:
Again, they're doing some disingenuous fudging of facts.
He didn't have a major stroke on Friday as the results came out, as you seem to think, He had a very minor stroke (Transient ischemic attack) on day 1 of the hearing, October 27th. If it were medically relevant, they'd have been shouting it at the time.
That they made the announcement when they did, shows its just for publicity, and sympathy, and to try and distract from what would be a major point in the reporting that - YET AGAIN - Assange's defense team lied to the courts.
Re: Lack of research from Mr Bode showing through again.
2500lb is a well accepted 'gut value' for a car. I think the actual average weight these days of new cars is 2800lb, but when you consider many older cars, it brings the weight down (my current car is 2350lb, I've had two volvos that were 2180lbs (the glorious 300 series), and a 140mph 4-seat car (MG Metro twin-turbo) that was 1850lb (including the extra engine stabilizers, intercooler, and a Citroen active antiroll suspension)
so yes, as a shorthand for car "2500lb death machine" is a well accepted common use reference to both average weight, and how easy it is for it to kill.
But if that's the ONLY criticism you could manage to actually level (that you don't understand idioms), says a lot about how good the article was.
Re: Re: concern should be on the other direction
It is klingon
and priviledge only applies to attorneys and clients in so far as law enforcement is able to intrude and use it. If either party in any way releases it - even inadvetently - and a news org gets it, it's well within their power, ability and right to publish it.
A-C priviledge is like a trademark - you don't get it and you get to keep it no matter what, you can only keep it if you keep within a very narrow set of rules.
Likewise, a judge can't put prior restraint on a news org. And yes, this is prior restraint. For more, read Mike's latest piece on it.
concern should be on the other direction
project veritas asked for, and got a Prior Restraint injunction against NYT today.
Now NYT has to take down its story, and can't investigate, or publish anything else, or conduct any newsgathering, or ask for any documents relating to PV.

Re: What has happened
My other half worked for them for a while.
most of it is outsourced, to Asureon (who until recently, also handled pretty much ALL cell phone insurance in the US). Over the last 3-4 years, as they've lost contracts (like DirecTV going to overseas after the AT+T merger), home depot and walmart warranty contracts being cancelled, etc. they've had to focus more on selling than anything else.
So their cellphone support (Verizon, sprint, and I think they just lost T-mobile) now have their metrics not based on actual support stats, or even average call time, or anything else. Instead the SOLE metric that matters is selling protection plans for home electronics and other add-ons.
And by that I mean that Tech support people are now expected to get at least one sale per day. Coaching isn't about better dealing with tech problems, or defusing angry customers, it's now almost entirely about 'rebuttals', and 'sales openings'. And if you don't sell at least 3/week, you're put on a warning plan, and if you don't increase sales still at that point, then you're fired.
Now if you try to lead an ambiguous statement that you could interpret as the customer expressing mild interest, and add it despite them not actually agreeing to it, that's not a problem. If you accidentally click 'add' when you didn't mean to and they didn't want it though, then you get in trouble - not for adding it, but for drawing the customers attention to the whole idea of 'cancelling it', and not 'well go ahead and try it and if you don't like it cancel at the end of the month', hoping they'll forget scam.
not surprised
I tried signing to visible twice over the summer.
The first time, they took so long to process, that my previous service had expired, and so they couldn't do the port any more. And the reason it took so long to process is that the field for the password to do the port, only takes a-z 0-9. no symbols. So anyone that routinely makes more secure passwords, it'll fail and you have to wait an hour to deal with their (outsourced) reps.
Their solution? I pay for another month on my existing carrier, and then immediately port over to them. I said no.
2 months later, we tried porting my son's phone over. They sent him the wrong sim card, sending him one for an S6 and not a note10. Again, their only real solution was to cancel the account and start again.
And why is it so bad? Well, I've heard rumor's that its because the people on Visible's chat, are those that don't make their stats as a Verizon Tech-Coach (and at Asureon, the ONLY stat that matters for Verizon Tech Coach tech support staff is sales of the Asureon protection plan. Solving things, customer ratings, etc. Irrelevant. And Visible doesn't have that, so the only way to get sales figures to move back up to 'the good account', would be to sell phones.
Gee I wonder why it's so easy to charge phones to accounts on a service that ONLY handles you through a crappy webchat, or through social media DMs
Re: Re: Re:
No, that's not ALL Campaign Finance reform is about.
it's also about having to account for things that should count as campaign costs, but which are currently not. It's to get rid of these ways to campaign at our cost and detriment (this is part of what the Hatch Act is about).
For instance, your thing about running a martyr candidate that runs, gets elected then jumps on the hand grenade of this financial hit. It sounds like a great idea, but it's complex to actual carry through. And there are ways to fix it, like making the candidate personally liable for anything unpaid after... say a year. In your scenario, we get what we have already, but they're having to use twice as many people, and go more convoluted. It's a step in the right direction anyway. Not everything has to be perfect.
And yeah, lame ducks, again, already liable to happen anyway, so your problem is... that it doesn't address all situations, only most of them?

Do the laws of Moses still apply?
Do the laws of Moses still apply?
Most Christians believe that only parts dealing with the moral law (as opposed to ceremonial law) are still applicable, others believe that none apply, dual-covenant theologians believe that the Old Covenant remains valid only for Jews, and a minority have the view that all parts still apply to believers in Jesus and …
Who does the law of Moses apply to?
Law to everyone who believes (Romans 10:4) Romans 10:4 gives us a direct statement that “Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to everyone who believes.” The context of this is the Law of Moses and the qualifier is all believers.
Where in the Bible is the Mosaic law?
The form of this sermon roughly follows that of a covenant/treaty document since he is exhorting them to reaffirm that relationship established at Sinai (Exodus 19-24), which has become known as the Sinaitic or Mosaic covenant. Here we see the law (Deuteronomy 4-26) following the historical prologue (Deut.
Buried for centuries The two-foot-square (0.18 square meter), 115-pound (52 kg) marble slab is inscribed in an early Hebrew script called Samaritan and most likely adorned a Samaritan synagogue or home in the ancient town of Jabneel, Palestine, which is now Yavneh in modern Israel, according to Michaels.
Are the 10 Commandments part of the mosaic covenant?
The mosaic covenant is not limited to the ten commandments nor to merely the event when they were given. The covenant includes rather the entirety of laws that Moses delivered from god and are scattered within the five books of Torah. The jews call such laws the “de’oraita laws”.
Are the 10 Commandments part of the Mosaic law?
The basis for Mosaic law are the Ten Commandments, which include rules about how to worship God, and against killing, coveting, stealing, etc. Mosaic Law today is often conflated with Jewish Law, which is made up of 613 laws that dictate how Jewish people of today are supposed to live their lives.
According to the doctrine of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, Jesus completed rather than rejected the Mosaic law. The Ten Commandments are considered eternal gospel principles necessary for exaltation. They appear in the Book of Mosiah 12:34–36, 13:15–16, 13:21–24 and Doctrine and Covenants.
Is the Mosaic law still in effect today?
Since “when there is a change in the priesthood, there is necessarily a change in the law as well,” the Mosaic Law is no longer in effect ( Heb 7:12 ). “Moses said” nothing about a priest from the line of Judah but only spoke about “the Levitical priesthood (for under it the people received the law)” ( Heb 7:14, 11 ).
Is the Mosaic law the rule of life for the Christian?
There are Christian teachers of repute who consider the Mosaic law to be the present-day rule of life for the Christian. 1 A view not infrequently found among earnest, orthodox believers is that although we are not saved by the law, once we have been justified by faith, then the Mosaic law becomes our rule of life.
What are the different parts of the Mosaic Law?
The Nature and Content of the Mosaic Law 1 Part 1: The Moral Law or the Ten Commandments. This part of the Law governed the moral life giving guidance to Israel in principles of right and wrong in relation 2 Part 2: The Judgments, or the Social Law. 3 Part 3: The Ordinances or the Ceremonial Law

Choosing the Perfect Piano: What to Consider Before Buying
March 26, 20251. Set Your Budget
Factor in additional costs like tuning, maintenance, and delivery fees.
2. Determine the Type of Piano
Acoustic Pianos: These offer the traditional, rich tone that many pianists love. There are two main types:
Upright Pianos: Compact and ideal for smaller spaces.
Grand Pianos: Larger and more expressive, but they require more room and investment.
Digital Pianos: Perfect for those prioritizing affordability, portability, or the ability to practice quietly with headphones. Many models also offer extra features like recording and instrument sounds.
3. Assess Space and Location
Measure the available space in your home and ensure there’s enough room for the piano and a bench.
Consider the placement: acoustic pianos should ideally be away from direct sunlight, humidity, and fluctuating temperatures to protect their mechanics.
4. Understand Sound and Touch Preferences
Test the piano’s tone, as each has a unique sound profile ranging from bright to mellow.
Check the touch response of the keys. A good piano will have a balanced feel that matches your playing style.
5. Consider Long-Term Use
Investing in a high-quality acoustic model may be worthwhile for long-term use.
6. Research Brands and Models
Some renowned brands include Petrof, Hailun, Steinway, Kawai, and Casio.
7. Inspect Before Buying
Play the piano yourself, if possible, to ensure you’re comfortable with its sound and touch.
Buying a piano is as much about the heart as it is about practicality. Whether it’s a sleek digital model or a majestic grand piano, the right instrument can bring joy and inspiration to your musical journey for years to come.

Benefits of Exercise
Exercising is one of the most important ways that people can maintain and improve their health. Being physically active helps improve sleep, brain health, quality of life, and mental wellness. It also helps to reduce the risk of diseases such as hypertension, heart disease, some cancers, and diabetes. Regular exercise also helps to manage weight, strengthen bones and muscles, and improve peoples’ abilities to perform everyday activities. Overall, regular exercise has been shown to increase one’s chances of living longer.
While it can be difficult to start or stay consistent with an exercise routine, considering all the benefits of exercise can be a good motivator to start getting on track with physical activity. According to the Physical Activity Guidelines for Americans, each week adults need at least 150 minutes of moderate-intensity physical activity (anything that makes your heart beat faster than usual) and 2 days of muscle strengthening activity (anything that makes your muscles work harder than usual). Of course, doing more than that will reap even greater health benefits, but this baseline recommendation can be a good place to start.
If this sounds daunting for any reason (i.e. busy work schedule, feeling too out of shape to get started, not knowing what exercises to do, etc), consider these tips for getting going:
You can break the 150 minutes of moderate-intensity physical activity up into whatever time portions work for you. Ex: 30 minutes a day, 5 days per week of brisk walking.
Ensure you are covering all of the major body regions on the days you are doing strengthening exercises (legs, hips, back, abdomen, chest, shoulders, and arms). You do not need to cover all of these in one day, just make sure they are all being included in your rotation of strengthening exercises.
If you don’t feel you can do this much to start, it’s ok to start smaller! You will be surprised at how quickly your body will be able to handle more physical activity when you are consistent.
Build exercise into your actual weekly schedule. Many people squeeze in exercise “when they have the time.” If you wait until you have a random empty block of time in your day with nothing else to do, you likely won’t be getting much exercise! If you block off specific days and times to do each type of physical activity, you are more likely to do it. Set reminders or alarms on your phone at first if needed!
Ask a friend who is of similar fitness level to join you on the journey. Whether you exercise together at the same time or check in with each other about progress, this can help improve accountability to stay consistent.
Listen to your body. Fatigue and muscle soreness are normal responses to exercising. Pain, lightheadedness, dizziness, and other unusual symptoms are not normal and need to be assessed by a healthcare provider before continuing exercise.
If you have pain or other physical limitations that are keeping you from exercising, or you are unsure what exercises are safe to do, physical therapists can help with that! We can perform interventions to address your pain, teach you safe exercises (along with modifications if necessary), and ways to progress the activities as your pain improves and you start getting stronger.
In addition to traditional physical therapy services, Elite Muscle Recovery offers a Beginners Workout Class that can be done online from the comfort of your own home. We also offer in-person small Group Fitness classes led by a doctor of physical therapy that can be a great way to stay accountable to your own fitness journey!
If you need help in any of these areas, please reach out to us. You can call or text us at (423) 228-8120 if you have questions or are interested in using our services. We would love to work with

Why a Strong Fitness Mindset Matters
When stay committed—even when challenges arise.
So, what are the key active substances that contribute to a fitness mindset? Let’s explore the crucial elements that shape your mental and physical transformation and how you can maximize their impact.
1. Dopamine: The Motivation Booster
Dopamine is the neurotransmitter responsible for motivation, focus, and reward. Every time you complete a workout or reach a fitness goal, your brain releases dopamine, reinforcing the behavior and encouraging you to stay consistent.
2. Cortisol Control: Managing Stress & Avoiding Burnout
Cortisol is the stress hormone that, when out of balance, can lead to fatigue, muscle breakdown, and lack of motivation. However, the right fitness mindset helps regulate cortisol levels, allowing you to train effectively without burning out.
Dosage: To control cortisol, incorporate rest days, active recovery, and mindfulness techniques like meditation or deep breathing. Sleep at least 7-8 hours per night to keep cortisol in check and stay mentally sharp.
3. Endorphins: The Natural Mood Enhancers
One of the biggest benefits of exercise is the release of endorphins, your body’s natural painkillers and mood boosters. A fitness mindset thrives on positive reinforcement, and endorphins make workouts enjoyable rather than a chore.
Dosage: To maximize endorphins, engage in high-intensity workouts (HIIT, running, or strength training) for at least 30-45 minutes, 4-5 times per week. Group workouts and fitness bootcamps are also great for an extra boost!
4. Serotonin: The Consistency Driver
Dosage: Maintain serotonin by following a structured fitness schedule (e.g., morning workouts or set training days). Sunlight exposure, a protein-rich diet, and mindful activities like yoga further boost serotonin levels.
5. Growth Mindset: The Mental Transformation
A growth mindset means believing that progress comes from effort, not just talent. People with a fitness mindset embrace challenges, learn from failures, and push beyond their comfort zone.
Dosage: To build a growth mindset, reframe setbacks as learning experiences. Instead of saying, “I can’t do this,” say, “I can’t do this yet, but I will.” Surround yourself with positive influences, such as a personal trainer, fitness community, or supportive friends.
Conclusion: Build Your Fitness Mindset & Achieve Your Goals
A strong fitness mindset is the foundation of lasting success. By understanding and optimizing your dopamine, cortisol, endorphins, serotonin, and growth mindset, you set yourself up for a fitness journey that is not just effective—but also enjoyable and sustainable.

The Important of Air Quality Control
Do you have questions about your home air and air quality? At Elite Climate Control, we can help you learn about air quality and allergens and then explore what filters or humidifiers work best in your area.
What is Air Quality?
Air quality refers to how clean the air is – how free it is from particles. All air, except in very special circumstances, has a certain amount of dust and so forth. Some particles are relatively harmless, some are annoying, and some are dangerous. When people talk about air quality, they are talking about the presence of those particles, especially those that are dangerous and can cause health problems. Often this is often referenced as “ppm,” or parts per million when talking about a specific type of particle. Because homes are well insulated, the air quality in homes may be higher or lower than the air quality outside. In areas like the high desert, there is a risk that air quality may be lower.
What Pollutants Are Dangerous?
Average dust particles (dead skin cells, etc.) are rarely anything but annoying. However, allergens such as pollen tend to be very annoying, especially to people who are especially susceptible to lung or breathing problems. Allergens can also get caught in an HVAC cycle in poorly filtered homes, making air conditioner units dirty and never really going away.
Worse, however, are VOCs and similar particulars. VOCs – volatile organic compounds – can cause a variety of health problems in high amounts. They are emitted by plastic, various kinds of paints, new furniture, and other products. Spores from mold & mildew can also be particularly dangerous because certain types of mold can harm humans.
Can Filters Improve Air Quality?
You can’t just open your windows and get rid of air particles (especially if you are trying to get rid of pollen). Filters can help you remove air particles and improve quality, but there are many types of filters. The average filter takes care of larger particles as long as you perform proper maintenance and replace the filter every several months. Other more specialized filters and even UV devices can help improve air quality. HEPA filters, for example, are designed to catch particularly small particles for people who suffer from asthma or bad allergies.
Another common option is the humidifier. In winter especially, humidifiers can both increase humidity to improve health while incorporating a filter to target a specific room and clear out dust, mold, or allergens.
I'm not sure if your dad or uncle that is a HVAC pro can compete with this down home professional team. Most of us are concerned about being over charged or railroaded by over zealous contractors. Man these guys showed up almost as soon as I hung up. Found the reset blower buttons I could not find. Had great conversation with the wife and did not charge me. No brainer go to old school service. Unquestionably first forever company when I need HVAC service or build a new home. THNXX Elite.. the Lions sleep tonight

Tony and Nick came on short notice to our business on a hot day. They were very friendly and professional. He found out that our ac issue was minor and instead of charging me, he showed me how to fix it so I wouldn't get ripped off in the future. From now on I will only call Tony for any ac needs and I would highly recommend him. Thank you.

My daughter's a/c went out. I called Elite this afternoon asking if we could set up an appointment for sometime next week. I was so happy that Tony said he could swing by today. A short time later the a/c was fixed and he installed a much needed new thermostat for us. Friendly, knowledgeable, and he explained everything to us throughout the entire repair process. Two thumbs up, 10 out of 10, I highly recommend Elite Climate Control for all of your HCAC needs.

Nick, the technician, and Tony, the Owner, were both fantastic to work with. No service charge for the initial visit is UNHEARD OF during a heat wave. In addition, I was fairly certain that a capacitor had blown due to a dirty condenser coil...so they EASILY could have charged me as though that were the problem, even though it was a simple issue with the thermostat. Great service AND honesty? Where do you see that in today's world? I highly recommend this company. Great work and even better humans.

When I called, Tony answered and was very friendly, he prioritized my issue for the next morning. He arrived early, and fixed the issue in 10min flat! Just with conversation, he's the owner of the company with 30 years of HVAC experience, and it showed! Honest about the issue and how to prevent it, fair pricing. Highest recommendation!

Social distancing, washing hands -- all these are critically important responses to the pandemic, but such directives assume that residents have adequate space, services and social safety nets to carry out these orders. This is simply not the reality across cities in India and in many countries of the world.

The COVID-19 pandemic has created a disruptive new normal for everyone through shelter-in-place orders and social distancing guidelines. But for the billions of urban poor, these guidelines aren’t just burdensome; they’re essentially impossible.
Social distancing is a critically important response to the pandemic, but it also assumes that residents have adequate space, services and social safety nets to survive such an order. This is simply not the reality across cities in Asia, Africa and Latin America.
More than 1 billion people live in slums and informal settlements globally. As much as 50-80% of employment is informal in developing cities, from street vendors to minibus drivers to migrant workers. Many of these families are essentially surviving day-to-day, living in dense neighbourhoods with unreliable and often shared access to basic services like water, sanitation and electricity. Many don’t have bank accounts, basic employment contracts or insurance. Their incomes and workplaces are not on any government agency’s radar. In short, they lack the resources to survive without defying lockdown orders shortcomings of recent social distancing orders are evident in cities like New Delhi, Bangkok, Lagos, Mexico City and Rio de Janeiro, where millions of residents feel their lives have been upended with little protection or access to support. The helplessness is widespread as families prepare for the worst.
Recognizing and addressing the stark reality of urban inequality is essential for addressing the current pandemic. It can also help cities build back better and more resilient to future crises.
Urban inequality, India and COVID-19
Perhaps no situation is more dire than in India, where a national lockdown with little notice ordered 1.3 billion people to self-isolate for at least 40 days. With the current guidance — from washing hands frequently to staying put — it’s unclear how the country’s 460 million urban residents will cope.
Between 152-216 million people in India live in dense informal housing, or slums. It is common to see lines of shacks for migrant workers crowded at a river’s edge and other hazard-prone areas. WRI’s World Resources Report documented how one slum in Bangalore is 12 times denser than the city average, housing 140,000 people per square kilometer. In 2018, only 60% of residents could access piped water — and even then, water was only available in taps for an average of two hours per day, two to three days a week.
In another slum in Mumbai, we found more than 2,000 people lacked access to piped water. While more than 70% of residents queued up for water delivered by tanker trucks every few days, the amount of water these households could access was far below the World Health Organization’s recommendation of 50 liters per day in non-emergency situations.
In these circumstances, where washing your hands might mean traveling to a shared tap or drawing from a scarce household supply, self-isolation is not just unfeasible; it may threaten day-to-day survival needs.
The same challenges apply to informal workers. A recent survey in Bangalore — where over 70% of the workforce is informal — showed that while many low-income workers were afraid of contracting COVID-19, most felt compelled to continue working for fear of losing income, jobs and the ability to feed their families.
Food insecurity is at an all-time high, and without support, residents are seeing only two choices: starvation or disease risk. A week of dropped wages could mean they will lose their housing. For some, their work is their place of shelter.
Often “invisible” to governments and other urban residents in the best of times, what happens to informal workers like street vendors and domestic workers during the COVID-19 pandemic could affect whole cities — rich and poor folks alike — and beyond. In response to the Modi government’s lockdown order, millions of urban migrant and informal workers are fleeing by foot back to their home villages. This could accelerate the spread of infection across India, putting many rural areas with little health care in immediate danger.
How to reduce urban inequality and close the services gap
In the long term, large-scale investments in infrastructure for water, sanitation, housing and health care are needed around the world to provide growing populations with essential services. And to keep cities humming as economic, cultural and political dynamos, these investments need to specifically improve access for those residents currently being left behind.
But there are short-term strategies to help cities respond now, too. Communities and the citizens that comprise them should be seen as active agents with knowledge, energy and power to shape their response now and in the future. These strategies can give the urban poor more feasible options for getting through this period and help reduce the spread of COVID-19 for everyone:
City agencies shouldprovide access to basic water and sanitation facilities forfree. Things like government-sponsored water tankers, mobile handwashing facilities (as seen in Kigali, Rwanda), and other forms of rapid response — especially in slums and vulnerable neighborhoods — could provide immediate relief. And, wherever possible, agencies should work through existing networks of private and alternate service providers to speed service delivery.
National governments should process fiscal transfers to states/cities so they can immediately distribute cash assistance — through more creative means than usual, if necessary — to those who need it most. Cash transfers can protect traditional supply chains for essential goods. In Delhi, for example, the local government is setting up shelters and food distribution points to stop rural migration, though not at a fast-enough rate. Governments should leverage existing systems like ration cards to distribute subsidized food and other essential goods, too, but these need to be available for those without secure addresses or bank accounts. Partnerships with private companies can extend a city’s ability to distribute essential goods. In Bangalore, for example, a private food delivery platform has partnered with the state government, NGOs and commercial kitchens to serve 500,000 meals daily.
Government and private health care providers must step up efforts to provide access to emergency services in cities’ most under-served areas, as well as help those who need to quarantine. Data on access to health services and COVID-19 testing locations can help cities pinpoint hotspots. For example, this map of Delhi highlights which areas would benefit most from emergency clinics. Decision-makers must also consider the effect of curtailed public transport systems, which frontline workers and clients still depend on every day, to get a full picture of urban risk. For example, the city of Bogotá, Colombia, is working with Despacio and NUMO to provide hundreds of free e-bikes to medical workers during the pandemic.
City governments must work more closely with community leaders and NGOsthat work in informal settlements and other at-risk communities – both to better understand what’s happening on the ground and communicate key health messages. For example, in Nairobi, Kenya, the city is working with UN-HABITAT to provide handwashing facilities in informal settlements. Slum dwellers in Rio de Janeiro have organized to create community solutions, such as donation distribution networks and public information campaigns, while holding authorities accountable for appropriate actions. One slum neighborhood will now have access to shared water taps pumped from back-up reservoirs, thanks to collaboration with the local water utility. Similarly, many urban research organizations and experts are gathering critical spatial data on how this pandemic is changing the landscape of urban risk, including access to health centers and basic housing, water and sanitation facilities. Cities should be aware of their own data limitations and open to new partnerships to help keep up in a fast-evolving situation.
Responding now can create more resilient cities in the future
Providing targeted emergency assistance now can create better preparedness for the future. Establishing deeper and more trusted partnerships with communities can lead to more responsive policies, budget allocations and channels of communication.
Establishing more comprehensive data infrastructure and identifying high-risk locations — such as those where water access is dangerously low — can reduce future public health risks and inform urban planning. In the 1990s, a plague outbreak in Surat, India, led to the creation of a city-wide health monitoring cell in the municipal government that’s helping the city respond to COVID-19 today. Likewise, East Asian cities like Hong Kong and Singapore have been able to respond better to COVID-19 in part because of public health surveillance systems set up in response to the SARS outbreak from 2002-2003.
Closing the urban services divide can help cities build back better and more equitably to better withstand the next crisis. Protecting and empowering the most vulnerable helps create more sustainable, thriving environments for everyone

The AC automatically turns on when the heater is turned on in Changan CS75.
The AC automatically turns on when the Changan CS75's heater is turned on, which could be caused by the vehicle's design and the operating mechanism of its temperature control system.
In some vehicles, to maintain a stable temperature inside the car, when the temperature drops, the system automatically activates the heater function. Additionally, to quickly reduce the humidity and enhance the heater's effectiveness, the system automatically turns on the AC (air conditioning compressor). This is to more effectively control the temperature and humidity inside the car, ensuring comfort.
If you find the automatic AC activation not suitable for your needs, you can manually turn off the AC function and only turn on the heater. This way, the system will operate based on your settings. However, please note that in certain situations, to maintain a comfortable temperature and humidity inside the car, the system may automatically turn on the AC again. If you have any further questions or concerns, it is recommended to consult Changan Automobile's official after-sales service or contact a professional car repair technician for inspection and

Education of Slum Children
Poverty has always been one of the most interesting phenomena to observe. Why do some people advance and why are others ‘left behind?’ This has been one of the perpetually present questions of humanity and one that has puzzled philosophers, sociologists and economists alike for as long as the conscious man in a complex society has been in existence.
In general poverty has no end which has just blocked the blooming bud’s future to attain their full potential in our faulty social structure. JMJ SSS is deeply committed for the human values and in this endeavour have adopted slums in Bhilai and Raipur. It strive to give its services for this disadvantage children through.

Which big cat is not endangered?
Although lions are not endangered, for example, their populations have plummeted. Lions, by the way, are indeed dangerous cats. However, when individuals turn to regularly hunting and eating humans, it may be due to factors like bad teeth that make other prey too difficult to wrangle.
Are any big cats not endangered?
Around the world, big cats are among the most recognized and admired animals, at the top of the food chain. Yet all seven species are listed as Threatened or Near Threatened on the IUCN Red List, with the tiger categorized as Endangered.
What is the safest big cat?
The white tiger is one of the most friendly big cats. They are very gentle with humans and don't usually attack. They are also very intelligent and love to play with people. They are found in India, Thailand, and parts of China.
What is the least harmful big cat?
On the other hand, the least dangerous big cat is the clouded leopard. These animals are elusive and rarely interact with humans. They are smaller in size compared to other big cats, weighing up to 50 pounds. They are also tree climbers and are adapted to hunt prey in the trees.
How many big cats are left in the wild?
Despite our fascination with them, the number of big cats in the wild is declining. Lions currently occupy 10% of their historical range with less than 20,000 left in the wild. Snow leopards are classified as 'vulnerable' with a worldwide population potentially as low as 4,000 individuals.
Why Are These Cats ENDANGERED? | Wild Cat Wonders | Episode 3
What was the last big cat to go extinct?
The Saber-Tooth Tiger
The last big cat on this list is a bit of a ringer: Despite its name, the saber-toothed tiger (aka Smilodon) wasn't technically a tiger, and it went extinct at the cusp of the historical era, about 10,000 years ago.
What wild cat is almost extinct?
The Iberian lynx is a native of the Iberian Peninsula in Southern Europe, and is considered to be the world's most endangered wild cat, listed as critically endangered. This species of lynx has been impacted greatly by two diseases in the 20th century that ravaged its main prey: rabbits.
Which big cat is the most intelligent?
In a follow-up experiment using a similar conceptual puzzle, lions outperformed leopards and tigers (which are both solitary big cats)—more evidence for the social intelligence hypothesis. But Borrego acknowledges that habitat and diet could also be factors in cognitive evolution.
Which big cat can be tamed?
That said, if you're intent upon taming one of the species of big cats, you'd probably have the most luck (meaning "not very much at all") if you chose the cheetah. Historically, they've been the most easily tamed of the big cats -- the Egyptians tamed them as pets and kept them for hunting, much like falcons.
Can lions be tamed?
Lion taming occurs in zoos around the world to enable the keepers to carry out medical procedures and feedings. The Captive Animals Protection Society maintains that animal welfare cannot be guaranteed in circuses.
Why are big cats illegal?
For example, most big cats are listed as either endangered or threatened under the Endangered Species Act and take (harass, harm, pursue, hunt, shoot, wound, kill, trap, capture, or collect, or to attempt to engage in any such conduct) of such species and their offspring is prohibited, with limited exceptions for take ...
Why can't big cats be pets?
Big cats cannot be domesticated. Unlike companion animals who have been domesticated over centuries, big cats always retain their natural instinct to hunt and attack, no matter how they are raised. There have been hundreds of dangerous incidents involving captive big cats in the United States.
Are ocelots endangered?
Though ocelots are plentiful in parts of Central and South America, the northern subspecies is listed as federally endangered in the U.S. Please be respectful of copyright. Unauthorized use is prohibited. These 25-pound felines, known for their fetching dappled coats, face several challenges.
What is the largest friendly cat?
Maine Coon - the gentle giant
The Maine Coon manages to get the balance just right between being the loyal companion you expect from a friendly cat breed while keeping their independent streak. Despite their big physique they love nothing more than a good cuddle in your lap.
Which big cat is easiest to tame?
By far the Cheetah has been considered the easiest of the exotic cats to tame. The Cheetahs were used as hunting partners for sport in Asia prior to Assyrian Dynasty in Libya, during the reign of the Kings. Their keen eyesight played a major role, which aided in the hunt.
Are jaguars friendly?
Jaguars rarely attack humans and will almost never do so without provocation. They will, however, attack and kill livestock that local farmers rely on for their livelihoods. This prompts local communities to hunt and kill jaguars in retaliation and to protect their herds.
Who is the toughest big cat?
Tigers are the biggest and strongest of all the wild cats. Because of their massive size and greater weight than any other cat they develop incredible strength and muscle and have a high muscle density, even higher than lions.
What is the lion afraid of?
Lions have few predators to fear other than humans. A very young or sickly lion might fall prey to hyenas. Cubs may be attacked and eaten by adult male lions. Lions are most threatened by humans who hunt them and encroach on their habitat.
What animal did wild cats evolve from?
The wildcat and the other members of the cat family had a common ancestor about 10–15 million years ago. The European wildcat evolved during the Cromerian Stage about 866,000 to 478,000 years ago; its direct ancestor was Felis lunensis. The silvestris and lybica lineages probably diverged about 173,000 years ago.
What is the oldest extinct cat?
Machairodontinae is an extinct subfamily of carnivoran mammals of the family Felidae (true cats). They were found in Asia, Africa, North America, South America, and Europe from the Miocene to the Pleistocene, living from about 16 million until about 10,000 years ago.

International Day of the Victims of Enforced Disappearances 30 August
International Day of the Victims of Enforced Disappearances 30 August
-"On this international day, I urge all Member States to ratify or accede to the Convention without delay, and I call on the States parties to the Convention to implement it. It is time for an end to all enforced disappearances."
Enforced disappearance has frequently been used as a strategy to spread terror within the society. The feeling of insecurity generated by this practice is not limited to the close relatives of the disappeared, but also affects their communities and society as a whole.
Enforced disappearance has become a global problem and is not restricted to a specific region of the world. Once largely the product of military dictatorships, enforced disappearances can nowadays be perpetrated in complex situations of internal conflict, especially as a means of political repression of opponents. Of particular concern are:
the ongoing harassment of human rights defenders, relatives of victims, witnesses and legal counsel dealing with cases of enforced disappearance;
the use by States of counter-terrorist activities as an excuse for breaching their obligations;
and the still widespread impunity for enforced disappearance.
Special attention must also be paid to specific groups of especially vulnerable people, like children and people with disabilities.
On 21 December 2010, by its resolution 65/209 the UN General Assembly expressed its deep concern, in particular, by the increase in enforced or involuntary disappearances in various regions of the world, including arrest, detention and abduction, when these are part of or amount to enforced disappearances, and by the growing number of reports concerning harassment, ill-treatment and intimidation of witnesses of disappearances or relatives of persons who have disappeared

Contact Council if you:
Dust storms can affect air quality and your breathing. To protect yourself during dust storms:
stay indoors with the windows and doors closed
avoid vigorous exercise
avoid driving.
Make a complaint
There are steps you can take to resolve an issue before you escalate to Council.
1 Before making a complaint
People often aren’t aware that their activities are harmful or disturbing others. If you’re affected by air pollution or an odour from a neighbour’s property, try to resolve the issue together before making a complaint.
Talk to your neighbours about the problem. Alerting them about the issue could lead to an immediate resolution.
If you can't come to an agreement with your neighbour and things aren't improving, make a complaint to Council.
2 How to make a complaint to Council
When filing a complaint about an air or odour issue, you need to provide:
Frequently asked questions
Council is legally required to investigate complaints about smoke from a neighbour’s backyard fire or wood-fired heater.
We may issue your neighbour with a Compliance Direction if the smoke is determined to be an unlawful nuisance. If your neighbour doesn’t comply with the direction, we may issue an on-the-spot fine.
You can complain about smoke from a neighbour’s property affecting your health or lifestyle. Before lodging a complaint, talk to them about the issue. They may not realise their activities are causing a disturbance. Alerting them could prompt them to resolve the issue immediately.
If your neighbour ignores your concerns and the nuisance continues, start documenting the issue in a diary or by making a recording.
Environmentally Relevant Activities (ERAs) regulated by the Queensland Government. ERAs are activities that have the potential to harm the environment. They include chemical manufacturing and intensive agricultural activities
cooking odour from cooking carried out on land on which a class 1, 2 or 3 building under the Building Code of Australia is constructed.
Air and odour pollution rules differ slightly for work being done under planning approval.

Random stomach pain
I noticed this yesterday, and I think I may have had it before about a week ago - I get a random pain in my stomach/chest, just at the point where my chest meets my stomach. I'm usually fine when I'm sitting down, but standing up brings it on. Also, if I breathe in or out deeply, I can feel the pain. It's difficult to describe it - it's not agonising, but not comfortable either.
I've tried rennies in case it's trapped wind - I took one last night, and woke up with the pain again. Plus, this wouldn't go on for ages, would it?
I've also been doing press ups recently - could it just be a pulled muscle?
I had something similar to this. Couldn't breathe easily and my stomach really hurt. Went to my GP and he said my stomach was swollen and was producing too much acid which was causing the pain and as my stomach was swollen, it was pushing on my diaphragm so I couldn't breathe properly. He gave me some tablets and I was ok within a few days. He said stress could have caused it. Are you under any stress? If I were you, I'd pop along to your doctor or give NHS Direct a ring and see what they say. Hope you're feeling better soonHope you feel well soon!
Both whilst I'm standing and during the action of standing. The pain is centred around one small area. If I press on the area it hurts, but it's certainly not agonising. It's just below my breast bone (I believe) where my ribs start to spread out, if that helps.
You said the pain is centered around one small area- which side, right or left?
Also, it hurts when you press the area, does it hurt when you release the pressure?
Please remember that at the end you have to see you GP
It's sort of in the centre. It doesn't seem to hurt when I release the pressure. I just had another rennie which didn't do much, and I ate which didn't seem to make any difference. I'm veering towards pulled muscle now, I've pulled muscles before doing press ups (although usually in my back/shoulder). I'll have to wait until tomorrow to see a doctor anyway.
Thanks - what's your diagnosis, just out of interest? I'm meant to be going away for the weekend... hoping that whatever it is doesn't interfere with my plans.
If I was taking a random guess, I'd say it's probably run of the mill gastric reflux which has been left uncontrolled. Go get yourself something like Zantac (Ranitidine), which is OTC, and see if your symptoms subside. The drug treatment regimens for these disorders are particularly long, usually at least a couple of weeks and you'd usually use something like Omeprazole, but the Zantac would work.
I'm not a doctor, but I had something very similar to this 2 years back. Went through a year of hell trying to figure it out with all sorts of tests.
It turned out to be my Gall Bladder doing something it shouldn't be doing. It was swollen, and not working properly which caused the pain. Had an operation to remove it and it pretty much sorted itself out after that!

Understanding DXM: The Role of a DXM Calculator
its me
Introduction
In the world of medication and pharmaceuticals, precise dosing and administration are of paramount importance. Understanding the dosage of a specific drug, especially when it's available in various forms and strengths, can be challenging. This is where a DXM (Dextromethorphan) calculator comes into play. In this article, we'll explore the significance of DXM, its common uses, and the role of a DXM calculator in ensuring accurate and safe dosing.
The Importance of Dextromethorphan (DXM)
Dextromethorphan, often abbreviated as DXM, is an active ingredient commonly found in over-the-counter (OTC) cough and cold medications. It belongs to a class of drugs known as antitussives, which are used to relieve coughing. DXM is used to suppress dry, irritating coughs and is available in various forms, including syrups, capsules, and lozenges.
DXM is considered safe when used as directed, but it's crucial to adhere to recommended dosages. When used inappropriately or in excessive amounts, it can lead to health risks and even recreational misuse due to its dissociative effects. To ensure safety and efficacy, the role of a DXM calculator becomes significant.
Common Uses of Dextromethorphan (DXM)
DXM serves several primary purposes in the field of medicine:
1. Cough Suppressant
The most common use of DXM is as a cough suppressant. It acts on the brain's cough center to reduce the urge to cough, making it an essential component of many OTC cough and cold medications.
2. Respiratory Relief
DXM can provide relief from symptoms associated with respiratory illnesses, such as the common cold or the flu. It alleviates coughing, which often accompanies these conditions.
3. Pain Management
In some cases, DXM has been explored for its potential as an analgesic (pain reliever). It is believed to interact with the brain's perception of pain, offering a dual benefit in select medications.
The Role of a DXM Calculator
A DXM calculator is a valuable tool that plays a crucial role in ensuring the safe and accurate administration of dextromethorphan. Here are some key aspects of its role:
1. Dosage Calculation
One of the primary functions of a DXM calculator is to help individuals determine the appropriate dosage of DXM based on various factors. These factors typically include a person's age, weight, and the specific formulation of the medication.
2. Preventing Overdose
Overdosing on DXM can lead to a range of health risks, including confusion, hallucinations, elevated heart rate, and, in extreme cases, life-threatening complications. A DXM calculator helps individuals avoid taking excessive amounts of the medication, promoting their safety.
3. Avoiding Misuse
DXM misuse, often referred to as "robotripping," involves ingesting large doses of DXM to experience its dissociative effects. A DXM calculator can be used to calculate appropriate therapeutic dosages and discourage misuse.
4. Pediatric Use
For pediatric patients, it's crucial to calculate DXM dosages with precision. A DXM calculator assists parents and caregivers in determining the correct amount for children, minimizing the risk of adverse effects.
5. Customized Guidance
Every individual is unique, and their tolerance or response to DXM can vary. A DXM calculator provides customized guidance based on the individual's specific characteristics, ensuring that they receive the most appropriate dosage.
Safe Use and Precautions
While a DXM calculator can be a valuable tool, it's essential to understand the following precautions and safe use practices:
In the future, we can expect these calculators to incorporate more sophisticated algorithms and user-friendly interfaces, making it even easier for individuals to calculate appropriate DXM dosages. Additionally, increased public awareness of DXM and the importance of safe use will likely drive the development of educational resources and harm reduction initiatives.
Conclusion
Dextromethorphan (DXM) is a commonly used medication for cough suppression and symptom relief from respiratory illnesses. While it can be an effective treatment when used correctly, the potential for misuse and overdose underscores the importance of accurate dosing. A DXM calculator serves as a valuable tool in ensuring safe and precise DXM administration, minimizing risks, and promoting responsible use.
As technology continues to advance, DXM calculators will play an increasingly vital role in educating the public about the safe and effective use of DXM-containing medications. When used in conjunction with proper reading of medication labels and consultation with healthcare professionals, DXM calculators contribute to a safer and more informed approach to medication management.
To navigate the world of DXM safely and responsibly, it's crucial to have a DXM calculator at your disposal. In this article, we will explore what DXM is, its potential benefits, risks, and how a DXM calculator can help you achieve your desired experience while avoiding potential harm. The Importance of a DXM CalculatorA DXM calculator is a valuable tool for anyone considering using DXM recreationally or for therapeutic purposes.

Confidence Intervals Explained
While a point estimate, like the sample mean xˉ\bar{x}xˉ, gives us a single value as our best guess for a population parameter like the population mean μ\muμ, it doesn't tell us anything about the uncertainty surrounding that estimate. How close is our xˉ\bar{x}xˉ likely to be to the true μ\muμ? Is it a very precise guess, or could the true value be quite different? This is where confidence intervals come in.
What is a Confidence Interval?
A confidence interval (CI) provides a range of plausible values for an unknown population parameter, calculated from our sample data. Instead of a single number, it gives us a lower and upper bound. For example, instead of saying the estimated average height of users is 170 cm (a point estimate), we might say we are 95% confident that the true average height lies between 167 cm and 173 cm.
Think of it like placing a bet. A point estimate is like betting on one specific outcome. A confidence interval is like betting that the outcome will fall within a certain range, which gives you more assurance, although with less precision than a single point.
The general structure of a confidence interval is:
Point Estimate±Margin of Error\text{Point Estimate} \pm \text{Margin of Error}Point Estimate±Margin of Error
The point estimate is our best single guess (e.g., the sample mean xˉ\bar{x}xˉ). The margin of error quantifies the uncertainty around this estimate. It depends on how much confidence we want to have in our interval and how much variability there is in our data, scaled by the sample size.
The Confidence Level
The "confidence" part of a confidence interval is expressed as a percentage, commonly 90%, 95%, or 99%. This percentage is called the confidence level. It's important to understand precisely what this level means.
A 95% confidence level does not mean there is a 95% probability that the true population parameter lies within the specific interval we calculated from our single sample. This is a common misinterpretation.
Instead, the confidence level refers to the reliability of the method used to construct the interval. If we were to draw many independent random samples from the same population and construct a confidence interval for each sample using the same procedure, we would expect about 95% of those intervals to contain the true, unknown population parameter. The other 5% would, purely by chance, miss the true value.
Imagine firing arrows at a target (the true parameter). Each arrow landing point is a point estimate from a different sample. A confidence interval is like drawing a circle around where each arrow lands. A 95% confidence level means our method of drawing circles is good enough that 95% of the circles we draw will contain the bullseye (the true parameter). We don't know if the specific circle we drew for our sample actually contains the bullseye, but we used a method that works 95% of the time in the long run.
Twenty 95% confidence intervals calculated from 20 different samples from the same population. The dashed red line indicates the true population mean. Most intervals (blue lines) contain the true mean, but one (sample 8, marked red) does not, illustrating the meaning of the 95% confidence level.
Factors Affecting the Width of a Confidence Interval
The margin of error, and therefore the width of the confidence interval, is influenced by three main factors:
Confidence Level: If you want higher confidence (e.g., 99% instead of 95%), you need to allow for more uncertainty. This requires a larger margin of error, resulting in a wider interval. To be more certain your interval captures the true value, you need to cast a wider net.
Sample Size (nnn): As the sample size increases, our estimate becomes more precise. The Central Limit Theorem tells us that the standard error of the mean (σ/n\sigma/\sqrt{n}σ/n) decreases as nnn gets larger. A smaller standard error leads to a smaller margin of error and thus a narrower, more precise confidence interval. More data leads to more certainty.
Variability in the Population (Standard Deviation σ\sigmaσ): If the data points in the population are naturally spread out (high standard deviation), samples drawn from it will also tend to have more variability. This increases the standard error and leads to a wider confidence interval. Conversely, if the population values are tightly clustered (low standard deviation), you can achieve a narrower interval for the same sample size and confidence level. We usually estimate the population standard deviation σ\sigmaσ using the sample standard deviation sss.
Interpretation Revisited
"We are 95% confident that the method we used to generate this interval from our sample produces intervals that capture the true population mean 95% of the time."
In practice, we often shorten this slightly to: "We are 95% confident that the true population mean lies between 167 cm and 173 cm." While slightly less precise about the long-run frequency interpretation, this conveys the practical meaning: the interval represents a range of plausible values for the parameter, based on the observed sample, with a specified level of confidence in the procedure.
Confidence intervals are a fundamental tool in statistical inference. They provide a way to quantify the uncertainty associated with our sample estimates when making claims about a larger population. This is essential in machine learning for tasks like assessing the reliability of performance metrics (e.g., accuracy, error rates) or understanding the uncertainty in estimated model parameters. In the next section, we'll look at the specific formulas and steps for calculating confidence intervals for population means.

in Fraud Detection
Most financial institutions already use AI for crime detection and fraud detection, but two-thirds of respondents to a recent survey by fraud detection firm BioCatch said criminals are more effective at using AI to commit financial crimes than banks are at using it to detect crimes.
Around half of organizations lost between $5m and $25m to AI-related threats last year, and alarmingly, only 3% said their organization did not lose any money.
Meanwhile techniques such as federated machine learning can enable payment service providers to collaborate with each other or with regulatory bodies, such as in anti-money laundering (AML) monitoring, without compromising the privacy of individual customer data.
With privacy on everyone’s minds, multiple companies can instead train models on decentralized data sources without sharing their customers’ Personally Identifiable Information (PII) or use generative AI to create synthetic data, which replicates the statistical properties of customer data without using real information.
This synthetic data can then be used to test new security measures and algorithms without exposing real customer data to potential risks.
Trevor Jung, Chief Digital Officer, Corporate Banking, at Bank of China Hong Kong, told the Digital Economy Summit that financial firms can then use the information to increase the effectiveness of their post-lending analysis.
He said:
“At the input there are lots of decentralized data — it can be trade, it can be facility documents, it can be payment collection — and we are using the algorithm to connect the dots between all the entities. From the output side we take out all the sensitive data,”
Automating Services
Fraud and anti-money laundering detection is particularly important in cross-border payments.
With the proliferation of AI-generated deep fakes, Ant Group is using more advanced predictive AI with machine vision to detect fraudulent transactions while maintaining data privacy, Loi said.
AI algorithms can also optimize currency exchange rates to increase the speed and efficiency of cross-border conversions. And when it comes to merchant payment services, whether domestic or international, AI can help merchants to personalize their marketing strategies.
The growing range of financial super apps also features third-party “mini apps” that allow users to complete more transactions in one place from their digital wallet.
Loi said:
“For example, you are able to buy a Starbucks from AliPay in Hong Kong, from True Money in Thailand, from Kakao in South Korea.
“This allows the merchants to grow their business, but more importantly, there’s data which allows the merchants to also optimize their marketing and promotions.
“This is where we have used AI to really personalize these digital marketing strategies in partnership with the merchants.
“This targeted marketing enables merchants and service providers to increase not only their transaction volume, but also the revenue generated from transactions.”
Using privacy-enhancing technologies (PETs) can help ensure that transactions are secure. In combination with AI and blockchain technology, banks can provide platforms for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) with additional financial tools to be locally relevant to their customers, Loi said.
For instance, a local account enables an SME to pay their suppliers and receive payments from their customers in different countries in the local currency.
These platforms can also provide them with tools and insights into payment trends and patterns, enabling them to target their customers more effectively.
Modern Banking for an SME
Small businesses typically contribute more than 50% of an economy’s gross domestic product (GDP), so Loi noted that giving them access to affordable financing and using digital technology that provides effective risk management and credit risk scoring is critical to the growth of any digital economy.
Multi-party computation (MPC) allows multiple organizations, including banks, insurance companies, telecom service providers, and merchants, to share the customer data they collect in a way that does not identify individuals so that they can still comply with data privacy regulations.
This not only improves their joint marketing capabilities but also makes for better end-to-end credit risk scoring for credit ratings and micro-financing.
“Beyond having an AI data-driven platform to achieve credit risk scoring to provide affordable financing, SMEs also need to be able to better understand the various tools and services that are available,” Loi said.
To do this, AI can be used, for instance, to generate digital avatars that provide personalized services, such as video recordings that are part of the electronic KYC (eKYC) process for loan processing.
Natural language processing (NLP) can also automate document review, reducing the need for lengthy and complex manual review processes and the potential for errors. It can also update customers’ risk ratings based on changes in their KYC attributes.
“To be a bank of the future, we cannot just talk about AI. We need to look at API cloud platforms and big data platforms. We need to make sure we handle this properly so that with the data and technology, we are able to maximize the use of AI-based decision-making,” Bank of China Hong Kong’s Jung said.
The Bottom Line
The increasing use of AI for advanced forms of financial fraud poses a threat to financial services firms, but they can also use AI algorithms, machine learning, and computer vision to fight back and detect such scams.
AI systems provide opportunities for firms to streamline and improve their compliance with fraud prevention and data privacy regulations, such as AML, KYC, and GDPR.
At the same time, banks can use AI to automate credit checks and risk management for lending and personalize services for individuals and businesses with targeted marketing.
Put it all together… The banking of the early 2000s is beginning to look as quaint as the banking of the 1980s

How generative AI transforms legacy modernisation
26 March 2025
5 mins read
Julia Poplawska
AI Data Scientist
Legacy modernisation is costly, complex, and often blocks digital transformation. No surprise that 74% of modernisation efforts fail – talent shortages, technical debt, and high costs stand in the way. Now, generative AI is changing the game, removing the biggest obstacles and making the process faster, cheaper, and more reliable. This article explores why traditional methods fall short and how AI can help you modernise efficiently.
For decades, enterprises have relied on legacy systems to run critical operations. However, as technology evolves, these systems can become a burden – expensive to maintain, difficult to upgrade, and a major blocker to your digital transformation.
It’s no wonder that transforming legacy systems has historically been challenging and expensive. You might have encountered issues that slow down or even derail your efforts.
Businesses recognise the need for modernisation, and most have attempted it, but traditional approaches have often failed.
74% of organisations admitted to starting a legacy system modernisation programme but failing to complete it in a survey conducted in 2020, highlighting the challenges companies faced before AI tools became widely available.
Cost and complexity – Manually rewriting legacy software requires years of effort and substantial financial investment. You may have abandoned modernisation initiatives halfway through due to rising costs and uncertain outcomes.
Accumulated technical debt – Legacy systems are deeply interconnected with outdated systems, making it difficult to untangle dependencies without disrupting core business functions.
As a result, you remain locked into rigid, outdated infrastructure, unable to scale or compete with digital-first businesses.
The importance of legacy application modernisation cannot be overstated, as transforming these outdated systems is crucial for enhancing organisational efficiency and competitiveness.
Choose the right approach to modernise your legacy systems
This is where generative AI comes in. Automating the most complex and time-consuming aspects of the process lets you overcome traditional roadblocks that have led to project failures in the past. Choosing the most appropriate modernisation strategy depends on factors like system complexity, budget, and risk tolerance.
Remember that AI doesn’t replace human expertise – it rather enhances it by automating the most complex, time-consuming tasks.
The four aspects of AI-driven legacy modernisation
1. Understanding and documentation
One of the biggest challenges in legacy modernisation is a lack of documentation. Systems that have been running for decades often have limited or outdated records, making it difficult to understand dependencies and workflows within the existing system. AI automates it by analysing legacy code, mapping dependencies, and generating system diagrams.
For enterprises, this means significantly faster onboarding for developers and a clearer roadmap for modernisation. Companies using AI-driven documentation tools report up to 50% quicker developer onboarding.
2. Refactoring legacy code
Decades-old codebases are often inefficient and hard to maintain. Software modernisation is crucial for rejuvenating legacy applications, making them more efficient and aligned with contemporary business demands.
AI identifies redundancies and detects inefficiencies. It then suggests optimisations, resulting in cleaner, more maintainable code. This structured approach not only improves system performance but also reduces long-term maintenance costs and technical debt.
3. Transforming outdated code
Instead of manually rewriting thousands of lines of legacy code, AI automates the transformation process by integrating new technologies. It analyses patterns in existing systems, converts outdated languages into modern equivalents, and ensures logical consistency. This approach accelerates modernisation while minimising errors.
One of the most obvious indicators is the percentage of code that’s now written by AI. I ask all the software companies I meet about this. The number is rarely lower than 40%. For some young programmers, it’s 90%.
Paul Graham, computer scientist, writer, and venture capitalist
4. Validation and quality assurance
Modernising a system is only successful if it performs reliably after the transition. AI automates validation by generating test cases and identifying vulnerabilities. This ensures higher system reliability, lower defect rates, and a seamless transition to modern infrastructure.
Case study: automated documentation and knowledge retrieval
A global staffing solutions provider faced a significant challenge: 25 years of fragmented legacy system documentation spread across multiple platforms. The lack of centralised knowledge made system maintenance inefficient and posed a high operational risk.
To solve this, AI-driven documentation tools mapped out the entire system architecture, creating clear visual diagrams and automated reports. Knowledge retrieval tools further streamlined the process, reducing search time from hours to seconds.
The impact was immediate. Onboarding new developers became faster, reliance on tribal knowledge decreased, and overall operational efficiency of business operations improved.
Watch the full story:
AI is the future of legacy modernisation
Modernising legacy systems no longer has to be slow, costly, or high-risk. AI-driven transformation enables you to modernise faster, reduce costs, and eliminate technical debt. With AI solutions, you can fast-track transformation efforts, reap significant cost savings, and stay ahead of your competition.
The longer you delay, the more operational inefficiencies, talent shortages, and security vulnerabilities you will face. The time to act is now.

FAQ
If your systems are slow, difficult to integrate, expensive to maintain, or vulnerable to security risks, it’s time to modernise. Other signs include frequent downtime, limited scalability, compliance issues, and a shrinking talent pool for maintaining legacy code.
Yes. AI-driven legacy modernization project enables gradual transformation, meaning systems can be updated in phases rather than through a high-risk, all-at-once migration. This minimises downtime and business disruption.
Not necessarily. In many cases, AI-powered refactoring and incremental updates can extend the life of your existing system while improving performance. A full replacement is only needed if the system is completely outdated, insecure, or incompatible with modern business needs.

William Byron admits “it stings” to lose after Darlington dominance
William Byron’s performance at Darlington Raceway was one rarely seen in modern NASCAR, absolutely dominating the majority of the race. Byron led every lap in Stage 1 and Stage 2, going on to lead the first 243 (of 297 total) laps, without a single lead change. The last time a driver led every single lap in a Cup race was Jeff Burton almost 25 years ago, but Byron’s chance of completing the …Keep readingSource

Johnnie David Hutchins's Medal of Honor
The loss of Johnnie David Hutchins was devastating to his family, but his moment of bravery almost certainly saved other parents and siblings from experiencing that same loss in the fall of 1943.
September 1, 2023
Amphibious assaults, a hallmark of the American military during World War II, were not always the massive, famous affairs witnessed near the end of the war. In the early years, they started small. Unlike the thousands of ships and tens of thousands of men at Normandy or Okinawa, the landings near Lae on the eastern coast of New Guinea in September 1943 were simple and modest, consisting of 17,000 troops, mainly Australian, and supported by just 156 vessels.
An effort to reinforce the ongoing landings was even more minuscule, consisting of six lightly armed US Navy landing ships escorted by a raggedy quartet of aging destroyers that were products of World War I. Among the supply ships was the tank landing ship USS LST-473. LST-473’s crew of just over 100 men included a young Texan, Seaman First Class Johnnie David Hutchins. He’d been in the Navy for less than a year and was 21 years old.
Over time, the Allies learned that the success of an amphibious assault sometimes hinged upon who owned the airspace above the landing beaches. During Operation Overlord in 1944 or Iceberg in 1945, there was no question who had the upper hand when it came to scouring the skies for potential threats. At Lae, part of Operation Postern, there was no such domination of the air.
As the supply ships moved closer to Red and Yellow Beaches, Japanese shore batteries opened fire. Soon after, the chaos multiplied with the sudden appearance of enemy combat aircraft. The slow-moving, vulnerable, and heavily loaded LSTs were sitting ducks for the marauding Japanese dive bombers and torpedo planes. Two bombs from plummeting Aichi D3A “Val” dive bombers splashed in the water near LST-473, sending up geysers of spray. Seconds later, two more bombs slammed into the deck of the vessel. They demolished the pilothouse, where Seaman First Class Hutchins was stationed. Most of LST-473’s deck was quickly enveloped by flames as the gas and ammunition she carried for the soldiers on the beach began to burn.

There was another torpedo in the water, this time headed for the stricken LST-473, where Hutchins’s crew was working to save the burning ship. The young sailor’s Medal of Honor citation reads:
“Fully aware of the dire peril of the situation, Hutchins, although mortally wounded by the shattering explosion, quickly grasped the wheel and exhausted the last of his strength in maneuvering the vessel clear of the advancing torpedo.”
In his book MacArthur's Amphibious Navy, author Daniel Barbey writes: “He died with his hands on the wheel.”
Eight months later and a world away, a Navy photographer visited the Hutchinses’ modest cottage in Lissie, Texas, to capture images of the departed hero’s family in April 1944. His father and mother stand near their front porch with Johnnie’s surviving siblings: Fay Etta, Elizabeth, Elsie, Harold, Myrtle, and Marion. No one smiles. The loss of the Hutchinses’ eldest son was devastating, but Johnnie’s moment of bravery almost certainly saved other parents and siblings from experiencing that same loss in the fall of 1943. In fact, Hutchins’s sacrifice continued to endure, in the vessel that he helped save that day off Lae.

In those days, before US industry was regularly churning out combat vessels at maximum capacity to flood the Pacific with fighting ships, stricken LST-473 was towed to safety and rebuilt, thanks to Hutchins’s last deed. Like the proverbial bad penny, the repaired LST-473 showed up in the face of Japanese occupiers again and again. In 1944 and 1945, the vessel delivered thousands of men and hundreds of thousands of pounds of equipment in the Philippines: first at Leyte, then Luzon, later near Manila, and again at Mindanao. All of this would have been impossible should the history of 473 have ended in shallow waters off Lae’s Red Beach. It would have never happened if not for Hutchins’s selfless last actions to save his ship and his comrades.
The Hutchins family contributed to the war in the Pacific in another way, too. Just six days after that family photo was taken at the Hutchins home in Lissie, Johnnie’s mother made the 180-mile trip to a shipyard in Orange, Texas. It was there that she crashed a bottle of Champagne over the prow of a new destroyer escort named USS Johnnie Hutchins (DE-360) on May 2, 1944. It was the first of three destroyer escorts launched that month at Consolidated Steel Corporation. The USS Johnnie Hutchins, too, would see action off the Philippines and Okinawa in 1945.

Today, the Medal of Honor bestowed upon Hutchins’s family for their son’s bravery, selflessness, and sacrifice resides within the Richard C. Adkerson & Freeport-McMoRan Foundation Road to Tokyo: Pacific Theater Galleries, here at The National WWII Museum.

SPORTS BRA-FIT CALCULATOR
SPORTS BRA FIT IS AN ART, NOT A SCIENCE
Our Bra Fit Calculator suggests sizes that are meant to help get you started determining the best sports bra size for you based on one to two measurements.
Please note that if the difference between your bust and ribcage is greater than 4 inches you should consider sizing up or utilizing a band/cup sports bra for a better fit.
Measurement 1: Ribcage (in inches)
Measurement 2: Bust (in inches)
Additional Bra Fit Resources
Watch our Bra Fit Video
FAQs
"Alpha size" refers to Sports bras that are sized by Letters like, “S” for Small, “XS” for Extra Small, “M” for Medium, etc. Alpha size bras are typically determined using the ribcage measurement.
“D+” is meant to accommodate individuals with a 4 inch difference (or greater) between the ribcage and bust measurement. An individual may have a ribcage measurement that indicates they might fit in a certain size (XS, S, M, L, etc). However, having a fuller bust means that you might consider sizing up to accommodate your chest. So if the ribcage measurement suggests a size M, you might size up to a size L. As always, wear what makes you feel most comfortable and confident.
“Band/cup“ refers to Sports bras that are sized using both the Rib Cage measurement and the Bust measurement. The different between these measurements in inches tells you the Cup size (A Cup=1 inch difference, B Cup= 2 Inch difference, etc). We combine the Ribcage measure (Plus 2-4 inches) with the cup size for the band/cup size for example: 34D, 38C, etc.
A band/cup size bra can offer more support for bodies with fuller chests especially when the ribcage measurement and bust measurements are significantly different. The band along the ribcage provides the most support during activity (not the straps at the top).
Each brand has different methods for sizing. Some brands use sizes between 0-22 in even increments for sizing.
This will vary by brand. For some brands, 1X will come after size XL. These iterations typically go XS, S, M, L, XL, 1X, 2X, 3X, 4X, etc... However other brands will add and X to indicate an increase in size like, "S, M, L, XL, XXL, XXXL, XXXXL, etc) If you have access to the brand's sizing guide it should help you determine what measurements correspond to your recommended size.
A training sports bra is a great option for younger athletes who are just starting to develop breast buds. The material is usually very light without too much compression so that the wearer can start to get used to wearing a sports bra under clothing. These typically come in youth sizes. Sizing is determined by the rib cage measurement.
The calculator is just a recommendation. If you have been comfortably wearing a certain size in a certain brand then you can certainly continue to wear what is most comfortable. Our bodies are always changing. Even from day to day your chest size might change based on a number of factors. You might consider the calculator recommendations as a sister size option. Ultimately it is up to you to determine what is most comfortable for you and your activities.
We know that finding the the "perfect" sports bra can be tricky.
There are so many factors to consider, like personal comfort, activity level and style preferences (not to mention that every brand is different!). It’s not just about size, but also the right support, fabric, and design for different types of movement.
Your comfort is the most important part of sports bra fit. For more compression you might size down. If you have a fuller chest you might size up.

Civilians as Combatants: Analyzing Their Role in Modern Warfare
The notion of “civilians as combatants” presents a complex and evolving dynamic in modern warfare. Historically, civilians have found themselves drawn into conflicts, challenging traditional perceptions of combatant status and raising critical legal and ethical questions.
As wartime landscapes transform, understanding the implications of civilian involvement is paramount. This article explores various dimensions of civilian participation in armed conflicts, illuminating the motivations, consequences, and legal frameworks that govern such actions.
Understanding the Concept of Civilians as Combatants
Civilians as combatants refers to the phenomenon where individuals not formally enlisted in armed forces engage in military activities during conflicts. This participation can manifest through various roles, ranging from support activities to direct engagement in hostilities.
Historically, civilians have taken up arms, influenced by factors such as political ideologies, national identity, or the dire need for self-defense. This shift often blurs the distinctions between combatants and non-combatants, challenging traditional legal and ethical frameworks.
The implications of civilian involvement in warfare extend beyond immediate combat situations. It impacts societal structures, contributes to the complexity of conflict dynamics, and may lead to significant humanitarian crises. Recognizing civilians as combatants reshapes our understanding of modern warfare’s nature and its repercussions on global peace and security.
Legal Framework Governing Civilians in War
The legal framework governing civilians in war is primarily established by International Humanitarian Law (IHL), particularly the Geneva Conventions. These regulations delineate the rights and protections afforded to civilians, distinguishing them from combatants. Civilians are generally prohibited from directly participating in hostilities, as their engagement can expose them to legal repercussions and risks.
The principle of distinction is crucial within this framework. It mandates that parties in a conflict must differentiate between combatants and civilians, ensuring that any attacks are directed solely at military objectives. Violations can lead to accusations of war crimes, holding responsible individuals accountable in international courts.
Additionally, the concept of proportionality is essential, requiring that civilian harm must not be excessive in relation to the anticipated military advantage. This legal obligation seeks to mitigate the impacts of warfare on civilians, promoting their protection amidst armed conflict. The evolution of these laws reflects the changing nature of warfare and the increasing involvement of civilians as combatants.
Motivations Behind Civilian Participation in Armed Conflicts
Civilian participation in armed conflicts can stem from a myriad of motivations, reflecting complex social, political, and emotional landscapes. Many individuals join fighting forces to defend their communities or families, driven by a deep sense of loyalty and necessity. The deterioration of safety often compels civilians to take up arms as a means of self-defense.
Ideological beliefs also play a significant role in motivating civilians to engage in combat. Nationalism, religious convictions, or a desire for political change may galvanize individuals to participate in conflicts they perceive as just or necessary. For instance, in the Syrian Civil War, many civilians joined opposition forces motivated by the aspiration for democratic reforms.
Economic factors further contribute to civilian involvement in warfare. In regions where traditional livelihoods are disrupted, individuals may find combat roles as a means of survival or financial gain. The lure of resources or monetary rewards can propel civilians to become combatants, especially in protracted conflicts with prolonged instability.
Lastly, social pressures and communal ties can influence civilian participation. In certain contexts, joining armed groups can enhance one’s status within the community or fulfill expectations from peers or family. This intertwining of social dynamics and motivations underscores the multifaceted nature of civilians as combatants in contemporary conflicts.
Case Studies of Civilian Combatants
Civilian participation in conflicts is not a recent phenomenon; it is a complex aspect of warfare that can be examined through various historical case studies. One notable example is the Spanish Civil War, where civilians organized into militias to resist fascist forces. Their involvement demonstrated both national fervor and the precarious nature of civilian life in armed struggles.
The Syrian Civil War further illustrates the involvement of civilians as combatants. With the fragmentation of the state, various groups emerged, including civilian self-defense units. Ordinary citizens took arms to protect their communities, reflecting their desperation amid escalating violence and political disintegration.
In the Vietnam War, the concepts of guerrilla warfare and civilian combatants were particularly pronounced. The National Front for the Liberation of South Vietnam, known as the Viet Cong, utilized local support and participation, showing how civilians can significantly impact military operations. These case studies present varied motivations and consequences, offering insights into the dynamics of civilians as combatants in warfare.
The Spanish Civil War
The Spanish Civil War (1936-1939) serves as a prominent example of civilians participating actively as combatants in a conflict. Ordinary citizens took up arms alongside established military forces, motivated by political beliefs, social ideologies, or personal grievances. This phenomenon highlighted the blurred lines between traditional combatants and civilians in warfare.
A significant aspect of this struggle was the rise of various factions, including Republicans and Nationalists. Civilians formed militias, aligned with these factions, to defend their communities and uphold their ideologies. Notable groups such as the International Brigades exemplified voluntary civilian engagement, fueled by the desire to combat fascism.
The conflict resulted in widespread mobilization of civilians, leading to various outcomes, including empowerment for some and victimization for others. This involvement underscored the precariousness of civilian lives, as they navigated the perils of warfare while simultaneously striving for political change. As a result, the Spanish Civil War exemplifies the role of civilians as combatants and their lasting impact on the nature of armed conflict.
The Syrian Civil War
In the Syrian Civil War, civilians have increasingly taken on active roles as combatants, driven by various factors including political motivations, ethnic affiliations, and a desire for self-defense. Many individuals joined local militias to resist government forces or extremist groups, reflecting their deep engagement in the conflict.
Notably, groups like the Free Syrian Army were often composed of ordinary citizens who transitioned from non-combatant roles to armed fighters. This transformation of civilians into combatants challenges traditional understandings of warfare and complicates the dynamics of the conflict.
The implications for these civilian combatants have been profound, as they face not only the dangers of armed conflict but also legal and ethical dilemmas associated with their participation. The situation illustrates the blurred lines between combatants and non-combatants in modern warfare.
Ultimately, the involvement of civilians as combatants in the Syrian context emphasizes the necessity of reevaluating the legal frameworks governing warfare and the protections afforded to individuals engaged in armed conflicts.
The Vietnam War
The Vietnam War exemplified the complex role of civilians as combatants within the broader context of armed conflict. Many Vietnamese civilians actively engaged in military tactics, making substantial contributions to both the North and South Vietnamese efforts. Their involvement blurred the lines between combatant and non-combatant, raising significant ethical and legal questions.
During this conflict, several factors motivated civilians to participate directly in warfare. These included a passionate commitment to national sovereignty, familial ties to combatants, and a response to foreign intervention. Civilians served not only as support staff but also took up arms, leading to a notable shift in traditional warfare dynamics.
Examples of civilian involvement are evident in various militias and organized groups. These groups often conducted guerrilla warfare, employing tactics designed to exploit their intimate knowledge of the terrain and local populace. Consequently, the Vietnam War highlighted the strategic significance of civilians as combatants who significantly influenced the conflict’s outcomes.
The war also had profound impacts on the civilian population, leading to widespread displacement and suffering. As the conflict escalated, the distinction between combatants and civilians became increasingly tenuous, marking a pivotal moment in the evolution of warfare and its societal implications.
Impacts on Civilian Lives During Warfare
Civilians as combatants significantly affect the lives of individuals during warfare, leading to diverse and often devastating consequences. The participation of civilians in armed conflicts can complicate traditional understandings of war, resulting in loss of life, disruption of communities, and long-term psychological scars.
Psychological effects on civilians can be profound and persistent. Exposure to violence, loss of loved ones, and the stress of displacement can lead to mental health issues such as anxiety, depression, and post-traumatic stress disorder. These conditions often require long-term care and can hinder recovery efforts for affected populations.
Displacement is another significant impact, as wars frequently force civilians to flee their homes. This movement can generate refugee crises, strain resources in host countries, and disrupt social structures. The loss of homes and communities contributes to a sense of instability that resonates long after conflicts have ended.
The effects of war on civilians extend beyond immediate trauma and displacement. Socioeconomic conditions deteriorate, education systems collapse, and infrastructure is destroyed, leaving lasting implications for future generations. Understanding these impacts is essential for addressing the broader consequences of conflicts involving civilians as combatants.
Psychological Effects
The psychological effects of civilian participation in armed conflicts manifest profoundly, influencing individual and community mental health. Civilians who take on combatant roles often experience trauma, anxiety, and depression due to their direct involvement in violence, challenging their previously held identities.
Witnessing or engaging in acts of violence can lead to post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) among civilians. The haunting memories of conflict may result in severe emotional distress, affecting relationships with family and friends. These psychological disturbances can persist long after the conflict has ended.
The participation of civilians in warfare also impacts social dynamics within their communities. The shared trauma of conflict can either forge stronger bonds among individuals or create divisions, contributing to social instability. Moreover, the stigma associated with having taken up arms can lead to isolation for some individuals.
Understanding the psychological effects of civilians as combatants is critical for addressing the long-term consequences of war. Mental health support systems become essential for aiding recovery and reintegrating individuals into their communities post-conflict.
Displacement and Refugee Crisis
Displacement refers to the forced movement of people due to armed conflict, persecution, or natural disasters, while a refugee crisis arises when a significant number of individuals flee their home countries, seeking safety and asylum in other nations. Civilians as combatants often compound these phenomena, leading to increased vulnerability.
In armed conflicts such as the Syrian Civil War, millions have been displaced, creating one of the largest refugee crises in modern history. Many civilians, compelled to take up arms for survival or ideological reasons, contribute to the destabilization of their communities, resulting in widespread displacement.
The psychological impact on displaced individuals is profound, as they grapple with loss, trauma, and uncertainty. The refugee crisis elevates humanitarian needs, stressing resources in host countries while complicating efforts to provide adequate support.
Civilian militias can also directly influence displacement patterns, sometimes exacerbating violence or targeting specific populations. These dynamics necessitate a deeper understanding of the interplay between civilian participation in conflict and the resultant refugee crises, highlighting the urgent need for international response and policy reform.
Civilian Militias and Their Role in Conflicts
Civilian militias refer to organized groups of non-professional combatants who take up arms during conflicts, often motivated by local grievances or ideological beliefs. These groups can significantly influence the dynamics of warfare, especially in environments where state authority is weak or absent.
Civilian militias often emerge in response to perceived threats, either from opposing factions or from government forces. Throughout history, such groups have played pivotal roles in various conflicts, providing local population defenses while simultaneously acting outside conventional military structures. Examples include the Kurdish People’s Protection Units in Syria and the militias during the Lebanese Civil War, which illustrate their capacity to challenge both foreign and domestic authorities.
The presence of civilian militias complicates the legal landscape regarding warfare, as their status is often ambiguous. While they may provide protection and bolster local resistance efforts, they can also contribute to human rights abuses and civilian casualties, blurring the lines between combatants and non-combatants.
Ultimately, civilian militias play a complex role in conflicts, illustrating the evolving nature of civilian engagement in warfare. As the lines continue to blur, understanding these groups becomes increasingly important in addressing the challenges and implications of modern conflicts.
Ethical Implications of Civilians as Combatants
The involvement of civilians as combatants raises significant ethical concerns that challenge the traditional notions of warfare and the protection of non-combatants. Ethically, the blurring of lines between civilians and fighters complicates accountability for actions taken during conflicts. This ambiguity can lead to moral dilemmas regarding the justification of violence and the limits of consent in armed conflict.
Furthermore, the participation of civilians in combat can exacerbate vulnerabilities and violations of human rights. When civilians take up arms, they may become targets themselves, causing an increase in civilian casualties and complicating the responsibilities of opposing forces under international humanitarian law. This shift not only impacts those directly involved but also undermines the protection afforded to non-combatants.
The ethical implications extend to the post-war environment as well. The reintegration of civilian combatants into society often poses challenges, as former fighters may face stigmatization and exclusion. Ultimately, these dynamics necessitate a reevaluation of the role of civilians as combatants to understand the broader ethical ramifications on communities and international perceptions of warfare.
The Changing Nature of Warfare and Civilians
The evolution of warfare has transformed the roles traditionally assigned to civilians, increasingly blurring the lines between non-combatants and combatants. As conflicts become more irregular and decentralized, civilians often find themselves directly involved in hostilities, either voluntarily or out of necessity.
The rise of asymmetrical warfare allows non-state actors to engage in armed conflict, leading to the formation of militant groups that utilize civilian support. This shift enhances the complexity of identifying combatants and protecting civilians, complicating compliance with international humanitarian laws.
Furthermore, modern technology, such as social media and digital communication, facilitates civilian mobilization and information dissemination. Civilians may track military movements or organize resistance efforts more efficiently, contributing to their active participation in conflicts. This engagement raises questions about adherence to traditional legal frameworks.
As warfare strategies evolve, the implications for civilians grow increasingly severe. The changing nature of warfare necessitates a reevaluation of legal protections and ethical considerations surrounding the phenomenon of civilians as combatants, reflecting the realities of contemporary armed conflicts.
Future Prospects for Civilians Engaged in Conflict
The future of civilians engaged in conflict is increasingly characterized by complex dynamics influenced by globalization, technology, and changing warfare paradigms. As conflicts become more asymmetric and involve non-state actors, the role of civilians as combatants may evolve significantly.
Civilians’ participation in warfare can be driven by various factors, including political, social, and economic motivations. Prospective trends might see enhanced militarization of civilian populations as communities seek to defend against perceived threats or join insurgent movements.
Given the rise of information technology, the propaganda and recruitment strategies of armed groups can reach civilians more effectively, potentially increasing their involvement.
Understanding this evolving landscape is crucial. Key considerations for the future include:
The legal recognition of civilians as combatants and its implications.
The psychological support required for civilians who actively engage in warfare.
The long-term societal impacts of civilian participation in conflicts and post-war recovery efforts.
Rethinking the Role of Civilians in Warfare
As warfare evolves, the classification and function of civilians as combatants must be critically reassessed. Historically viewed strictly as non-combatants, civilians increasingly engage in hostilities, blurring the lines between combatant and civilian roles. This shift necessitates a reconsideration of established norms and legal frameworks governing warfare.
Contemporary conflicts reveal that civilians often join armed groups out of necessity, coercion, or a desire for autonomy. Examining their motivations helps in understanding the dynamics of modern warfare. Such involvement raises questions about the implications for international humanitarian law, challenging traditional concepts that separate combatants from non-combatants.
Addressing the role of civilians as combatants is pivotal for crafting policies that respond to evolving warfare realities. A nuanced understanding can enhance protections for those drawn into conflict, ensuring that humanitarian considerations remain central in wartime scenarios. Rethinking this role is essential for adapting legal and ethical standards to contemporary combat environments.
The phenomenon of civilians as combatants represents a significant shift in the landscape of modern warfare. This reality necessitates a profound understanding of legal frameworks, ethical implications, and the psychological and social impacts on civilian lives.
As armed conflicts evolve, the role of civilians becomes increasingly complex. Future prospects require policymakers and military strategists to reassess strategies, ensuring the protection of non-combatants while acknowledging their active participation in warfare.

Hernia Surgery Cost in India
Are you looking for low- Hernia surgery? Explore low-cost Hernia surgery in India, starting from 500 to 1,500 USD.
Affordable Hernia Surgery Cost in India
Brief Description
A hernia forms when any organ or fat bulges through a weakness or opening in its muscle or connective tissue. It usually manifests as a bulge or lump in the particular area that causes discomfort or pain. A hernia can develop at various body parts, but the common types include inguinal hernia (groin), umbilical hernia (belly button), and hiatal hernia (upper stomach).
The cost of hernia surgery varies depending on several factors such as the type of hernia, surgical techniques, the expertise of the surgeon, the geographic area from where the surgery is done, hospital or surgical facility fees, anesthesia, pre-operative assessment, post-operative care, and follow-up visits to the surgeon. In the US, the cost of hernia surgery may range from a few thousand up to several thousand.
One should consult a healthcare professional or a surgeon to identify the best approach to treatment of a hernia and find exact and personalized cost information based on an individual's situation.
Lowest Cost: $500 USD (₹37,500 INR)
Average Cost: $1000 USD (₹75,000 INR)
Highest Cost: $2000 USD (₹150,000 INR)
Surgery Type: laparoscopic hernia repair.
Surgery Duration: 1 to 2 hours.
Days of hospitalization: 1 to 2 days.
Recurrence Chances: Moderate
Recovery time: 1 to 2 weeks.
Success Rate: 80%
Factors Affecting Cost
Factors that affect the total cost of hernia surgery will be grouped under preoperative, intraoperative, and postoperative factors.
Preoperative Factors:
1. Diagnostic Imaging:
- A preoperative imaging technique like an MRI or CT scan is important for evaluating the condition and surgical planning.
- The cost of such studies of imaging may vary because of the facility, location, and, of course, the insurance.
- Neurologists, anesthesiologists, and other medical professionals would have to obtain a consultation preoperatively before performing surgery.
- The costs of these consultations can vary from one health care provider to another and based on their location and insurance coverage.
Intraoperative Factors:
1. Surgeon's Fee:
The fees of the surgeon vary with their expertise and experience, geographical location, and the complexity of the surgery.
The surgeon's fee includes all necessary preoperative and postoperative follow-up visits to ensure a comprehensive understanding of the surgical procedure.
2. Anesthetics:
Anesthetics consist of fees for the anesthesiologist and medical supplies used in anesthesia as well as monitoring equipment for anesthesia services needed for surgery.
3. Cost of the Operating Room:
The cost of the operating room, including instruments used in surgery, equipment, disposable supplies, support staff, and other costs accumulated during use, represents a significant portion of the total cost.
Operating room charges may differ based on the facility, location, and duration of the surgery.
Postoperative Factors:
1. Hospital Stay:
The hospital stay period after hernia varies in each case depending on the complications that take form and how well the patient is responding to his/her condition.
Patients may require various types of medication, including pain medications, antibiotics, and medicines for nutritional support.
These drugs vary in price due to the specification, dosage, duration of intake, and insurance.
3. Follow-up Visits and Rehabilitation:
Usually patients need follow-up visits with the surgeon along with other rehabilitation, which may include some physical therapy or occupational therapy.
The cost can vary according to the number and duration of these visits along with their rehabilitation.
Cost Differences Related to Hernia Surgery:
1. Geographic Factors:
Differences in health care systems, provider fees, and the economy of the locality cause health care to be very different from one country or region to another in the world.
Cost of living may include factors such as labor, resources, and others leading to changes in nominal values among various areas.
2. Hospital and Healthcare Facility Factors:
Different hospitals or health care facilities have various costs depending on their infrastructures, reputations, specializations, and levels of care provided.
Usually, community hospitals will cost less compared to academic medical centers or specialized neurosurgical centers.
3. Insurance Coverage:
The extent of coverage by insurance and reimbursement policies will impact the out-of-pocket expenses incurred by patients undergoing hernia surgery.
This is because the extent of coverage for the total cost varies with different insurance plans.
4. Complications and Revisions:
Complications in certain cases necessitate the use of additional surgical procedures for treatment, as well as the need for revision surgeries for defects.
These additional surgeries or interventions increase the overall cost of hernia surgery.
Cost of Surgery
In the United States, the typical cost of a hernia surgery is between $3,000 and $10,000, or even more. This cost is especially inclusive of a surgeon's fees, hospital or surgical facility charges, anesthesia fees, cost of pre-operative evaluations, post-operative care, and follow-up visits. This may also exclude particular costs such as consultations with dieticians or psychologists and even imaging or laboratory tests, as well as revision surgeries or adjustments to the band.
Why Options India?
There are some reasons to attract hernia patients to India for treatment. Here are some reasons to consider India for hernia surgery:
1. Highly skilled medical professionals—There are thousands of neurosurgeons practicing in India, knowledgeable and specialized to treat amyotrophic lateral sclerosis. Several doctors in practice today in India have their medical education from a premier institution in India or around the world. They can thus accurately diagnose hernia, recommend the correct surgical intervention, and provide complete care for the treatment process.
2. Cost-Effective Treatment: One of the most distinguished benefits of choosing India for hernia is that it is very cost-effective in treating such conditions. India has cheaper medical costs, including surgical costs, hospital charges, and post-operative care, compared with many other countries. This primarily benefits the uninsured or those seeking cost savings without sacrificing quality.
3. Medical Tourism Support: The country has already proven itself as an emerging hub for global health tourists looking to benefit from healthcare services in India. Most hospitals will have separate departments, such as international patient departments, to deal with travel arrangements, visa processing, accommodation, and local transportation. Hospitals have created a great deal of convenience for international patients undergoing hernia surgery.
All in all, India has great things to offer in terms of qualified medical professionals, advanced medical facilities, cost benefits, waiting time, proficiency in the English language, support in medical tourism, and overall care.

Comparison Indian treatment cost
Typically, hernia costs differ because of several features, such as the country, city, health care facility, surgeon's fees, preoperative and postoperative care, and any complications. In the United States, a typical cost is $10,000–12,000. However, costs can go down a lot in countries like India, where the $3,000-$5,000 range is the norm instead. Only healthcare providers or hospitals can provide accurate cost information relevant to your situation.
Insurance coverage typically includes hernia surgery, depending on the specific plan and terms of coverage. Most health insurance policies cover parts of the procedure, but the percentage of coverage varies. So, it is better to review your insurance policy and to contact your insurance provider to know what the coverage includes: deductibles, co-pays, and pre-authorization requirements.
There are costs apart from the primary surgery itself. These costs may be for diagnostics that doctors have done preoperatively, consultations with specialists, anesthesia fees, hospital stay charges, postoperative medications, follow-up visits, and rehabilitation services.
Some healthcare facilities or organizations may have programs to enhance financial assistance among patients to help them in their struggle to pay for the cost of hernia surgery. Such programs can be country- or healthcare system-specific. Therefore, it is advised to ask the hospital or research to find local ways to discover any financial grants or assistance programs for reducing the cost of

How do knowledge graphs help in data discovery?
Knowledge graphs help in data discovery by structuring information as interconnected entities and relationships, making it easier to explore and understand complex datasets. They act as a map that shows how data points relate to one another, enabling users to navigate through information efficiently. For example, in a company with multiple data sources, a knowledge graph can link customer records, product databases, and transaction logs, revealing patterns that would be hard to spot in isolated tables or documents.
One key advantage of knowledge graphs is their ability to model relationships explicitly. Traditional databases often store data in tables that require joins or complex queries to uncover connections. In contrast, knowledge graphs represent relationships as first-class citizens. For instance, a graph could directly connect a customer entity to a product they purchased, a support ticket they opened, and a review they wrote. This structure allows developers to traverse these connections programmatically using graph query languages like SPARQL or Cypher. For example, a developer could query all products purchased by customers in a specific region who also reported a technical issue, enabling targeted troubleshooting or personalized marketing.
Another benefit is the ability to add semantic context. Knowledge graphs often include metadata, such as entity types (e.g., “Person,” “Organization”) or relationship labels (e.g., “worksAt,” “locatedIn”). This context helps systems interpret the meaning of data. For instance, if a dataset contains the term “Apple,” a knowledge graph can distinguish between the company, the fruit, or a product line based on connected entities (e.g., linking “Apple” to “Cupertino” clarifies it as the tech company). This disambiguation is critical for accurate search and recommendation systems. Developers can also extend graphs with custom ontologies to enforce consistency, such as defining rules like “a Customer must have an email address.”
Finally, knowledge graphs support inference and pattern detection. By applying graph algorithms, developers can uncover hidden relationships or clusters. For example, community detection algorithms might reveal groups of customers with similar purchasing behaviors, while centrality metrics could identify key influencers in a social network. Additionally, rules-based reasoning (e.g., “if a user buys a camera, they might need a memory card”) can automate recommendations. These capabilities reduce the manual effort required for exploratory data analysis, letting developers build tools that proactively surface insights. For instance, a fraud detection system could flag unusual transaction patterns by analyzing connections between accounts, locations, and timestamps in a financial knowledge graph.

Technology Today
Mold and the roofing industry
During the past several years, there has been increasing discussion and concern regarding mold and mildew in buildings and possible resulting "sick building" syndrome, the physical effects of biological growth in buildings on buildings' occupants. This topic is not new; the recent furor appears to have started several years ago after CBS' "48 Hours" aired a news segment about toxic mold titled "Invisible Killers."
Since then, there have been an alarming number of mold-related claims and lawsuits filed by building owners in California. But the claims are not limited to the West Coast. In Chicago, for example, NRCA has received reports that a $250,000 residence recently was torn down and another residence is undergoing more than $160,000 in repairs as a result of mold claims. In these cases, roof leakage and moisture infiltration from ice damming specifically are cited.
Mold and mildew
Mold and mildew often are used as colloquial terms for many types of biological growth from any number of fungi species. For such biological growth to occur, mold spores must be present; a sufficient nutrient base must be available; temperatures must be between 40 F and 100 F (4 C and 38 C); and there needs to be moisture. Mold spores almost always are present in interior and exterior air, and almost all commonly used building materials can support mold growth. In addition, buildings' interior temperatures usually are within the ideal range for fungi growth. Therefore, attempting to control moisture typically is viewed as the most practical way to minimize biological growth.
Preventing water leakage into buildings' interiors is important in minimizing biological growth in buildings. Obviously, roof assemblies play a large role in preventing leaks and are possible sources of leakage. Quick detection and repair of any known leak, as well as proper repair of any affected surfaces or construction, also are crucial in preventing biological growth.
Moisture in forms (phases) other than liquid water also is a concern when considering biological growth. Many fungi species can grow and flourish in ambient humidities as low as 70 percent (water in its gaseous phase). Such relative humidity values are not uncommon in certain building types and spaces.
For example, in attics, relative humidities readily can exceed the 70 percent threshold even when code-prescribed vapor retarders and ventilation are used. Also, in humid climates, indoor and outdoor ambient relative humidity values of 70 percent or higher are not uncommon.
Health effects
The effects of mold and mildew in buildings are not only visual. Because of increased public consciousness, concern about indoor air quality and sick building syndrome are coming to the forefront.
Although mold and mildew typically have little or no physical effects on most people, some who contact such biological growth often experience significant effects. Mold, mildew and fungi exposure can elicit allergic-type responses varying from a runny nose to violent bronchial attack. The extent of effects varies from person to person.
Such possible significant health effects associated with mold and mildew appear to be the basis of most claims and litigation.
Closing thoughts
Scientists and litigators rely heavily on the concept of controlling moisture as the most practical means of preventing mold and mildew. Although this concept may be true theoretically (compared with attempting to eliminate mold spores and nutrient sources), it is not practical for most buildings.
The interior environments of most buildings capable of being occupied are conducive to biological growth. At the same time, it largely is impossible to prevent moisture in liquid or gaseous phases from entering buildings to the extent the moisture would not contribute to biological growth.
Given the amount of discussion and concern regarding mold and mildew in buildings, the roofing industry should prepare itself for additional scrutiny regarding these topics.
NRCA closely is monitoring developments related to mold and mildew, sick building syndrome, and related claims and litigation attributed to the roofing industry. If your company is involved with such a claim or litigation, contact NRCA's Technical Services Section at (800) 323-9545 to report the situation.

Deep dive: Why Oklo stock’s post-earnings drop may be overblown
Oklo Inc (NYSE: OKLO) says its loss widened rather significantly in 2024, leading to a more than 10% decline in its stock price on Tuesday.
The nuclear energy company lost 74 cents on a per-share basis versus 47 cents only in 2023.
Oklo’s recent acquisition could soon drive revenue
Oklo stock remains attractive because giants like Microsoft have repeatedly shown interest in nuclear energy as a reliable and carbon-free power source for their energy-intensive data centers.
Analysts are bullish on the NYSE listed firm’s recently completed acquisition of Atomic Alchemy to expand into the radioisotope market.
Bagi expects Oklo to start reaping the benefits of that buyout by early next year.
The Atomic Alchemy deal could begin driving revenue for the company as early as the first quarter of 2026, he told clients in a recent note.
Investors should note, however, that the nuclear technology company does not currently pay a dividend. Its future hinges on its ability to secure timely agreements with potential customers.
So, delays on that front remain a significant downside risk for OKLO shares at the time of writing.

The Royal Institution (RI) is to tell visitors to its Faraday Museum whether scientists were racist or had links to slavery.
A review is under way at the London headquarters of the 226-year-old organisation to add context to exhibits of scientists who held views considered racist by modern standards.
Plans are being drawn up by the charity to provide “permanent interpretation” on displays which feature prominent historical figures that held problematic views.
The institution was founded in the 18th century and is now a charity which helps teach and communicate science to the public through lectures and demonstrations. It is best known for its Christmas lectures which air on television.
Humphry Davy, the famed English chemist and speaker, is the focal point of a display at the museum. The early 19th-century scientist invented the Davy lamp which is used in mining and is also thought to have been the inspiration for Dr Frankenstein in Mary Shelley’s novel.
The RI holds many of Davy’s private notebooks and a research project led by Lancaster University recently digitised the writings. The work revealed Davy’s family owned slaves in Antigua as well as exposing Davy’s own views on race.
The scientists found that Davy believed in a discredited theory that skin colour could be changed by the environment.
‘Davy’s views are jarring by today’s standards’
Dr Eleanor Bird, a transatlantic slave trade expert at Lancaster University, wrote in a study published in the Royal Society journal Notes and Records that Davy “articulated racist sentiments about the inferiority of black people and their lack of intellectual capacity”.
The Davy Notebooks Project of the RI and Lancaster University saw his notebooks transcribed by volunteers.
“It was during the pilot project phase that volunteers helped to uncover some of Davy’s racist views in notebook 13F, now held at the Royal Institution, where the majority of Davy’s 83 notebooks are held today,” Dr Bird told The Telegraph.
“Davy’s developing opinion that racial difference was somehow fixed and essential [’hereditary’] are extremely problematic and jarring by today’s standards.
“When he was a teenager, Davy wrote about the role that climate played in shaping human difference and viewed humans as largely changeable according to their environment, and expressed racist attitudes towards Black Africans.
“It appears that his views hardened across his lifetime towards seeing difference, including racial difference, as fixed and ‘hereditary’.”
In 1812, Davy married Jane Kerr who inherited wealth from her father, Charles Kerr, who owned 40 slaves. Her step-father, Robert Fawquah, owned slaves in Antigua and Grenada.
Dr Bird called in her study for the RI, where Davy lectured, to consider raising awareness of his “scientific racism” and financial links to the slave trade.
She told The Telegraph that Davy’s views and connections “should be represented within the permanent exhibition about Davy at the Royal Institution of Great Britain”.
The RI told The Telegraph that it acknowledges it has a duty to address elements of its past that are “rightly considered abhorrent today”.
It has plans to add permanent interpretation to its free museum, which it hopes will ensure “full context is visible to all visitors”.
The museum is currently in the process of deciding what form the added context should take but other institutions that have done similar projects have added signs or provided QR codes so visitors can read more about the complex past of individuals on their phones.
Katherine Mathieson, director of the RI, said: “There are many scientific discoveries and advances in the 226-year history of the Royal Institution of which we are rightly proud.
“But like any organisation of significant age, there are also elements of our past that we should not and do not celebrate today; they do not reflect the RI’s values, nor those of us who work here today to make the RI a home of science where everyone is welcome.
“We know that we have a responsibility to properly represent the RI’s contribution to the history of scientific advance in the UK; both the good and the abhorrent. So we are really proud that our joint work with Lancaster University on the Davy Notebooks Project is freely available to researchers, and represents a further step forward in sharing the full picture of our past with new audiences.
“The scholarly work published by the Royal Society is exactly the kind of examination we wanted to see from our digitisation of Davy’s notebooks – and I’m pleased to see the author has also suggested permanent interpretation in our free museum – and we are keen to work with others to further raise awareness and aid interpretation.
“Our goal is to learn from our past to help ensure the RI of today and the RI of the future is an inclusive and welcoming space for everyone.”

How to Help Contact Dermatitis
Contact dermatitis is a skin condition that causes redness, itching, and inflammation when your skin comes into contact with certain substances. It can happen to anyone, and while it might seem like a simple issue, it can be both uncomfortable and difficult to manage without the right approach. In this article, we’ll explore what contact dermatitis is, its causes, symptoms, and detailed steps on how to manage and relieve it.
What is Contact Dermatitis?
Contact dermatitis is a skin reaction caused by exposure to irritants or allergens. There are two main types of contact dermatitis: irritant contact dermatitis (ICD) and allergic contact dermatitis (ACD). Both types cause similar symptoms but are triggered by different factors.
ADVERTISEMENT
Irritant Contact Dermatitis happens when the skin comes into contact with a substance that damages the outer layer of the skin. This could be anything from soap, chemicals, or even water if the exposure is prolonged or repeated.
While contact dermatitis can be uncomfortable, there are several ways to manage and relieve the symptoms. With proper treatment, the condition can often improve or clear up completely. Here’s what you can do:
1. Identify and Avoid the Trigger
The first and most important step in managing contact dermatitis is identifying the substance that caused the reaction. Keeping track of what you were exposed to can help you avoid further flare-ups. Here’s how you can pinpoint the trigger:
Review your routine: Think about recent changes in your skincare, cleaning products, or any new foods you might have consumed.
Patch Testing: If you suspect an allergen, such as a particular cream, makeup, or fabric, consider patch testing a small amount on an inconspicuous area of your skin. If irritation occurs, avoid using the product.
Consult a Dermatologist: A dermatologist can help determine the cause through patch testing or other diagnostic methods.
Once you’ve identified the cause, it’s crucial to avoid exposure to that substance. This might mean switching skincare products, changing laundry detergents, or using protective gear when handling chemicals.
2. Keep the Skin Clean and Moisturized
Proper skincare plays a significant role in healing contact dermatitis and preventing further irritation. Here are a few tips:
Moisturize: After cleansing, apply a gentle moisturizer to keep your skin hydrated. Dry skin can worsen the condition, so it’s important to restore moisture. Look for products that are hypoallergenic and free of fragrances or other potential irritants.
Avoid Scratching: While it’s tempting, scratching can damage the skin further and introduce bacteria, which may lead to infection. Try applying a cool compress or using an anti-itch cream to ease the discomfort.
3. Apply Topical Treatments
There are several topical treatments available to help soothe and heal contact dermatitis. Depending on the severity, you may want to try:
Hydrocortisone Cream: A mild corticosteroid can help reduce inflammation and itching. Over-the-counter hydrocortisone cream is effective for mild cases of contact dermatitis. However, it’s important not to use it for prolonged periods without a doctor’s guidance, as it can thin the skin.
Calamine Lotion: For itchy or blistering rashes, calamine lotion can provide relief. It has a soothing, cooling effect and can help dry out blisters.
Antihistamines: If the dermatitis is caused by an allergic reaction, antihistamines can help relieve itching and swelling. Oral antihistamines like Benadryl can be particularly effective, but they may cause drowsiness.
Oatmeal Baths: Colloidal oatmeal can be soothing for the skin. Taking an oatmeal bath or applying oatmeal-based creams can help reduce itching and inflammation.
ADVERTISEMENT
Always consult with a healthcare provider before starting any new treatment, especially if you have a pre-existing medical condition.
4. Use Cool Compresses
Applying cool compresses to the affected area can help reduce inflammation and soothe irritation. Here’s how to do it:
Soak a clean cloth in cool water.
Gently press the cloth against the irritated area for 10-15 minutes.
Repeat as needed to reduce itching and swelling.
Avoid using hot water, as it can further irritate the skin and make the symptoms worse.
5. Protect the Skin
In some cases, you may need to protect the affected skin from further irritation. This can be done by:
Conclusion
Contact dermatitis can be a frustrating and uncomfortable condition, but with the right steps, you can manage and reduce its symptoms. Identifying the cause of the dermatitis, keeping your skin moisturized, and using topical treatments can go a long way in relieving the irritation. If you have persistent or severe symptoms, don’t hesitate to consult a healthcare provider. With the right care and attention, you can help your skin recover and prevent future flare-ups.

(57)【要約】
ステレオ信号用の伝送システムが知られている。公知のステレオ伝送システムでは、差信号を形成するために平衡変調器及びパイロットトーンを用いて左チャンネル及び右チャンネルステレオ信号を複合信号に合成する。この複合信号は、所謂和信号、パイロットトーン及び差信号を合成して得られる。このようなステレオ伝送システムは左及び右ステレオ信号の符号化及び複合化が複雑である。その上、パイロットトーン周波数とかなり複雑で時間のかかる調整処理を必要とする。簡単且つ有効なステレオ伝送システム（１）を提案する。このシステムでは、送信機（２）がブロック信号の反対ブロック周期を左チャンネル信号（Ｌｉｎ）及び右チャンネル信号（Ｒｉｎ）のサンプルにより交互に符号化する。受信機側では、受信符号化ブロック信号から、その正及び負の受信パルス（これらの受信パルスのパルス幅が伝送サンプルの振幅に対応ずる）を交互に積分及びピーク検出することにより左及び右ステレオ信号を復号する。一方のステレオチャンネルがパルスを検出するとき、他方のステレオチャンネルは阻止される。
(57) [Summary] Transmission systems for stereo signals are known. In known stereo transmission systems, the left channel and right channel stereo signals are combined into a composite signal using balanced modulators and pilot tones to form the difference signal. This composite signal is obtained by combining the so-called sum signal, pilot tone and difference signal. Such a stereo transmission system is complicated in encoding and decoding the left and right stereo signals. Moreover, the phase relationship between the pilot tone frequency and the sub-carrier is extremely critical. Also, such systems require a fairly complex and time consuming adjustment process. A simple and effective stereo transmission system (1) is proposed. In this system, the transmitter (2) alternately encodes the opposite block period of the block signal with samples of the left channel signal (Lin) and the right channel signal (Rin). On the receiver side, the left and right stereo signals are alternately integrated and peak-detected from the received coded block signal by alternating the positive and negative received pulses (the pulse width of these received pulses corresponds to the amplitude of the transmitted sample). Decode the signal. When one stereo channel detects a pulse, the other stereo channel is blocked.

And a transmission system comprising a transmitter having Such a transmission system can be a broadcasting system for broadcasting a stereo signal to a receiver, a system for recording and reproducing a stereo signal, or a system for any other composite signal. The invention further relates to a transmitter for use in such a system. The invention further relates to a receiver for use in such a system. This type of transmission system is known from "Engineer's Reference Book", LWTurner, Newnes-Butterworths (London), pp.15-56-59 and pp.15-166-170. This book describes a known stereo system in which first and second stereophonic audio signals, so-called left and right stereo channel signals, are combined into a stereophonic transmission signal and broadcast to a receiver. First, a sum signal is formed from the first and second signals, and then a difference signal is formed by using a balanced modulator and a subcarrier having a frequency twice that of a so-called pilot tone. Next, the carrier wave is modulated with the composite signal including the sum signal, the difference signal, and the pilot tone, and is transmitted to the receiver. In the receiver, after demodulation, the sum signal and the difference signal are separated from the pilot tone, and the stereo decoder adds and subtracts the sum signal and the difference signal to extract the first and second signals from the sum signal and the difference signal. However, such a stereo transmission system is complicated to encode and decode left and right stereo signals. Moreover, the phase relationship between the pilot tone frequency and the sub-carrier is extremely critical. Also, such systems require a fairly complex and time consuming coordination process. It is an object of the present invention to provide a transmission system of the above kind which is simple, non-critical and easily adjustable. To this end, the transmission system of the present invention comprises signal generating means for generating, as a composite signal, said signal synthesizing means a signal in which the opposite polarity periods are alternately modulated by the samples of the first and second signals. Is characterized by. Since the information about the first and second signals is contained in a single signal, eg in separate parts of the block signal, the first and second signals can be easily retrieved at the receiver. Such a receiver can also be easily realized. An embodiment of the transmission system of the present invention further comprises a transmission channel and a receiver for receiving the composite signal transmitted through the transmission channel, the receiver alternating the first and second signals from the received composite signal. When the pulse of the first signal is detected, the signal separating means includes first and second pulse integrating means for integrating the pulses corresponding to the first and second signals, respectively. The output of the second integrating means is reset, and conversely, the output of the first integrating means is reset when the pulse of the second signal is detected. In this way, a pulsed integrated output is obtained, the peak values of which correspond to the transmission samples of the first and second signals. Therefore, the analog first and second signals can be obtained from the peak value using a simple peak detecting means. In another embodiment of the transmission system of the present invention, the first and second signals are stereophonic audio signals and the composite signal contains stereo coding information about the first and second signals. This system can be advantageously used for wireless transmission of stereo signals, for example stereo headphones with a receiver such as the present invention. Such wireless transmission can be performed using infrared signals or using radio signals. In the latter case, the system further comprises an FM (frequency modulation) modulator on the transmitter side and an FM demodulator on the receiver side. In yet another embodiment of the transmission system of the present invention, the first and second signals are measurement signals. This system can be advantageously used for efficient transmission of measurement signals, such as blood pressure signals. In the measurement environment, the encoded signal can be conveyed from the measurement site to the center by means of glass fiber transmission means. Hereinafter, the present invention will be described by way of examples with reference to the accompanying drawings. Here, FIG. 1 shows a transmission system of the present invention including a transmitter, a receiver and an infrared transmission channel, FIG. 2 shows a timing chart for explaining the operation of the transmitter of the present invention, and FIG. 3 shows a timing chart of the receiver of the present invention. The timing chart for operation | movement description is shown. In the drawings, the same components are designated by the same reference numerals. FIG. 1 shows a transmission system 1 according to the invention comprising a transmitter 2, a receiver 3 and an infrared transmission channel 4. The transmission channel 4 can also be a radio channel, a glass fiber channel or the like. In the case of a wireless channel, the transmitter 2 and the receiver 3 further each comprise an FM modulator and an FM demodulator (not shown), both of which are known. The transmitter 2 comprises a first transmission branch 5 supplied with a left channel stereo signal L in as a first signal and a second transmission branch 6 supplied with a right channel stereo signal R in as a second signal. The first transmission branch 5 comprises a pre-emphasis preamplifier consisting of an amplifier 7 whose resistors 8, 9, 10 and capacitor 11 determine its frequency response. Pre-emphasis is provided to improve the signal to noise ratio of system 1. In order to achieve a linear integrated response system, the receiver 3 comprises corresponding de-emphasis means. A capacitor 12 shunting the amplifier 7 is provided to block signals above the audio frequency band to be transmitted. Similarly, the second transmission branch 6 comprises a preamplifier 13, resistors 14, 15, 16 and capacitors 17, 18. The output terminals of these amplifiers are DC biased to half the power supply voltage of transmitter 2. The transmitter 2 further comprises an integrator stage having an amplifier 20 and a capacitor 21, and a controllable block signal generating means 19 comprising a Schmitt trigger having amplifiers 22, 23 and resistors 24, 25, and further in the first transmitting branch 5. On the other hand, a resistor 26 and a diode 27 are provided, and a resistor 28 and a diode 29 are provided for the second transmission branch 6. Resistor 26 and diode 27 determine the positive block signal period and resistor 28 and diode 29 determine the negative block signal period. The DC-superimposed left-channel stereo signal from the output terminal of the amplifier 7 is injected to the connection point between the resistor 26 and the diode 27 via the resistor 30, and the DC-superimposed right-channel stereo signal from the output terminal of the amplifier 13 is coupled to the resistor 28 via the resistor 31. It is injected at the connection point of the diode 29. These injection signals modify the integration times of the integration stages 20, 21 according to the instantaneous values of the supply audio signals L in and R in . In one example, the polarity of the signal R in is inverted by an inverting stage comprising an amplifier 32 and resistors 33,34. Inverter 32 compensates the direction of the pulse produced by diode 29. When the blocking signal generated by the means 19 is positive, the transmission branch 5 is inactive because the diode 27 is in the blocking state, and when the blocking signal is negative, the diode 29 is in the blocking state, so that the transmission branch 5 is in the blocking state. 6 is disabled. Thus, it is achieved to alternately modulate the block signal with a sample of the first and second signals L in and R in . The thus encoded stereo signal is supplied to the receiver 3. In the illustrated embodiment, the infrared transmission channel 4 comprises infrared transmitting means 40 on the transmitting side and infrared receiving means 41 on the receiving side. Such infrared transmission means 40, 41 are known. The receiver 3 comprises a first receiving branch 50 and a second receiving branch 51 for separating the first and second transmitted stereo signals from the received composite signal. The first receiving branch 50, to which the received composite signal is supplied, comprises a first part of a demultiplexer switch, which first part comprises a parallel connection comprising diodes 52 and 53 in antiparallel connection and a resistor 54 in series with the diode 52. It has a circuit. From the direction of the transmission channel, diode 52 is reverse biased. Similarly, the second receiving branch 51, to which the received composite signal is supplied, also comprises a corresponding second part of the demultiplexer, which second part comprises a parallel-series circuit of a diode 54, a diode 55 and a resistor 56. In the second receive branch 51, an inverter 57 is placed before the second part of the demultiplexer to shift the phase of the received signal by 180 °. The receiving branch 50 further comprises an integrator having an amplifier 58 and a capacitor 59, a peak detector having a diode 61, a resistor 62 and a capacitor 63, and a de-emphasis amplifier 64 having an amplifier 65, resistors 66 and 67 and a capacitor 69 in series. Arrangement. The detected left stereo signal L out is obtained at the output terminal of the amplifier 65. Similarly, the second receive branch 51 comprises an amplifier 70, a capacitor 71, a diode 72, a resistor 73, a capacitor 74, a capacitor 75, a resistor 76, an amplifier 77, a resistor 78, and a capacitor 79 in series with a resistor 79A. The inverting amplifier 80 having the resistors 81 and 82 is connected or not connected after the amplifier 77. If the encoder in transmitter 2 comprises inverting amplifier 32, inverting amplifier 57 in the receiver will compensate for that phase shift. If the transmitter 2 does not include the inverting amplifier 32, then the inverting amplifier 80 must be present to obtain the correct left-to-right signal phase. For mono operation, the stereo output signal can simply be provided to the respective resistors (not shown). In this case, a mono signal is obtained at the connection point of these resistors. For mono operation, a combination with an inverter 32 in the transmitter 2 and no inverter in the receiver 3 is advantageous for compensating for pulse phase jitter introduced into the transmission line when the transmitted signal is weak. . The addition of the inversion mode strongly reduces the noise contribution to the signal. It is advantageous to use the same type of peak detector for the left and right channels, since in this case all signals are to ground, but using complementary peak detectors. You can also In the latter case, the inverter 57 is unnecessary. Such a complementary peak detector can be obtained by reversing the diode 72 and connecting the resistor 73 and the capacitor 74 to the positive power supply line (not shown). The stereo decoding operation of the receiver 3 is as follows. The received composite signal is polarity separated. The respective pulses of the left and right channels are converted into respective voltage amplitude signals in respective integrators 58, 59 and 70, 71. The output of the right channel integrator is reset to the negative power supply voltage during transmission of the left channel pal, and conversely, the output of the left channel integrator is reset to the negative power supply voltage during transmission of the right channel pal. Peak values corresponding to the samples of the transmitted first and second signals occur at the output terminals of these integrators. A peak detector 60 having an integrator 64 in the subsequent stage serves to further suppress the sampling frequency. The integration time of this integrator is chosen to compensate for transmitter pre-emphasis. The positive signal integration time of the integration stages 58 and 59 depends on the internal resistance path of the demultiplexer and the forward resistance value of the diode 53. Since this resistance value is small, the integrators 58 and 59 operate at extremely high speed. In the case of a positive input signal, the output of the integration stages 58, 59 is pulled down to the negative power supply voltage because the capacitor 59 is charged quickly. As a result, the peak detector 60 does not rectify any signal. In the reception branch 50, the negative reception composite signal is supplied to the integration stages 58, 59 via the series connection of the resistor 54 and the diode 52. In this case, the negative signal integration time is essentially determined by the resistor 54. Therefore, for each received pulse, the end value of the integration stage output corresponds to the pulse width of the received pulse, and each negative pulse is converted to the corresponding analog peak voltage. For both the transmitter 2 and the receiver 3, a hex amplifier IC, type PC74HCU can be advantageously used for cost reduction. FIG. 2 shows a timing diagram for explaining the operation of the transmitter 2 of the present invention. FIG. 5 shows a timing diagram when the transmission branches 5 and 6 act on left and right stereo signals L and R (L = R) of equal polarity and on opposite polarity signals (L = −R). For L = R, alternating samples of the left and right signals are converted into frequency modulated block pulses with a constant pulse width duty cycle. Alternatively, if L = -R, then alternating samples of the left and right signals are converted into a pulse width modulated signal having a constant frequency. The timing diagrams for R = L and R = -L show an extreme mono signal and an extreme stereo signal respectively as input signals L in and R in and show how the input information is encoded in the signal to be transmitted. . Therefore, in the actual situation, the transmitted signal is a frequency-modulated and pulse-width-modulated composite signal and no sum or difference signal is formed, as in the case of conventional stereo systems. The timing diagram (L only) shows how the block signal is modulated when only the left channel signal is available, ie when the right channel signal is not present. The block pulse period is indicated by T and corresponds to 38 kHz, for example. For infrared transmission, this intermediate frequency can be 60-80 kHz. FIG. 3 is a timing diagram showing the operation of the receiver 3 of the present invention. Only the right channel is shown. The received pulse RP, the inverted received pulse IRP, the output signal LI of the left channel integrators 58, 59 and the output signal RI of the right channel integrators 70, 71 are shown. The dashed line d1 shows the reconstructed right channel stereo signal.

Settling vs. Litigating Whiplash Claims in Virginia: Pros and Cons option. Whether you are unsure of your next steps or simply looking for guidance, we want you to know that you are not alone in this journey. At NovaLegalGroup, we are here to help you navigate these complex decisions and ensure you get the compensation you deserve.
Whiplash injuries, often caused by car accidents, can be physically, emotionally, and financially draining. The good news is that there are options for resolving your case, and in this blog, we will explore the differences between settling and litigating your whiplash claim in Virginia. By understanding the pros and cons of each approach, you can make an informed decision about how to move forward with your case.
What Is Whiplash and How Does It Affect You?
Whiplash is a type of neck injury that occurs when the head is suddenly and forcefully jerked forward and then backward, causing strain or damage to the muscles, ligaments, and tendons in the neck. This type of injury often results from rear-end car collisions, though it can also occur in other types of accidents. Symptoms of whiplash can vary, but common signs include neck pain, stiffness, headaches, dizziness, and difficulty moving the head.
Whiplash injuries can be serious, and they may require ongoing medical treatment, such as physical therapy, pain management, or in more severe cases, surgery. The recovery process can be long and difficult, and medical bills can quickly add up. If you have suffered a whiplash injury, you are likely entitled to compensation for your medical expenses, lost wages, and pain and suffering. Deciding whether to settle your claim or pursue litigation is a crucial step in seeking that compensationSettling Your Whiplash Claim
Settling your claim means that you and the other party, usually the insurance company of the person who caused the accident, agree to a monetary amount to resolve the case without going to court. Settlement can happen at any point during the claims process, even before a lawsuit is filed.
One of the main advantages of settling a whiplash claim is that it typically leads to a quicker resolution. Instead of waiting months or even years for a trial, you can receive a settlement in a matter of weeks or months. This can be particularly beneficial if you need the money to cover medical bills or other expenses related to your injury. Additionally, settlements provide a degree of certainty. When you accept a settlement offer, you know exactly how much money you will receive, and you can avoid the unpredictability of a trial outcome.
Another benefit of settling is that it is less stressful than going through a trial. The litigation process can be lengthy and emotionally taxing, especially if you are already dealing with pain and discomfort from your injury. By settling, you can avoid the stress of a court battle, as well as the costs associated with litigation, such as attorney fees, court fees, and expert witness fees. Additionally, if your case goes to trial, there is always the risk that the jury will not rule in your favor, meaning you could walk away with nothing.
However, settling also has its downsides. One of the primary disadvantages is that the settlement amount may be lower than what you could potentially receive if your case went to trial. Insurance companies are often motivated to settle for the least amount possible, and their initial offer may not fully account for the severity of your injury or the long-term impact on your life. This is why it is essential to have an experienced attorney review the offer before you agree to anything. If you accept a settlement, you also give up the right to pursue further legal action against the at-fault party, even if you later discover that your injury is more severe than initially thoughtLitigating Your Whiplash Claim
Litigating a whiplash claim means taking your case to court and having a judge or jury decide the outcome. This process involves filing a lawsuit, presenting evidence, and arguing your case before a judge and jury. While litigation can take longer than settlement, it may be the right choice for some individuals, particularly if the insurance company is not offering a fair settlement.
One of the key advantages of litigating your whiplash claim is the potential for a larger payout. If you have sustained significant injuries or long-term consequences from your whiplash injury, litigation may allow you to recover more compensation. A jury may award higher damages for pain and suffering, emotional distress, and future medical expenses than what an insurance company is willing to offer in a settlement. Furthermore, litigation can give you the opportunity to hold the responsible party accountable for their actions.
In addition, litigation allows you to maintain control over the process. You will have the chance to present your case in court and provide all the evidence that supports your claim. This can be empowering, as you will have the opportunity to tell your story and advocate for yourself.
However, litigation also has several disadvantages. The most significant drawback is the amount of time and money involved. Lawsuits can take months or even years to resolve, and the process can be time-consuming and costly. During this time, you may be required to attend depositions, hearings, and pre-trial motions, which can be exhausting. You will also need to pay attorney fees and court costs, which can add up over time.

Another disadvantage of litigation is the uncertainty. Even with a strong case, there is no guarantee that the jury will rule in your favor. The outcome of a trial is unpredictable, and it is possible that you could end up with a smaller settlement or no compensation at all. The stress and emotional toll of a trial can also be significant, particularly if your injury has already caused you physical and emotional distress.
Which Option Is Right for You?
Deciding between settling and litigating your whiplash claim is a personal decision that depends on a variety of factors, including the severity of your injury, the amount of insurance coverage available, and your willingness to take on the stress and time commitment of litigation. If your injury is relatively minor and the insurance company is offering a fair settlement, settling may be the best option. On the other hand, if your injury is severe and you believe that the insurance company is offering an unfair settlement, litigation may be the best course of action.
Regardless of which route you choose, it is essential to have the guidance and support of an experienced attorney. At NovaLegalGroup, we understand how overwhelming this process can be, and we are here to help you make the right decision for your case.

Understanding When Cancers Should Stop Overthinking
The temperament of aCancer varies in different types of relationships, categorized into three distinct levels. Understanding these phases is crucial in fostering a harmonious connection and preventing the tendency to overthink, which is a common trait among Cancer individuals.
In less familiar relationships, such as those with acquaintances or strangers, Cancer natives tend to exhibit exceptional patience and good-natured behavior. Their demeanor in these situations often resembles a social mask, where they are polite and amicable.
They seldom display irritability or anger, as they might feel that these individuals are not worth their emotional investment, unless there’s a severe breach of their principles.
The second level involves closer relationships where trust is not entirely established. In these cases, Cancers tend to have a shorter fuse, and they can become more prone to outbursts of anger. This behavior is not due to a lack of regard for the other person, but rather serves as a form of “adjustment.”
Cancers express their discontent with certain behaviors that they do not understand, and this annoyance can lead to moments of anger. To soothe a Cancer’s emotions in these scenarios, clear explanations and assurances are vital.
The third level represents very close relationships, where trust and mutual understanding exist. In these cases, Cancers are known to be incredibly forgiving and understanding. When a connection reaches this depth, Cancers typically have very little to no temper at all because they know each other so well.
To prevent Cancers from overthinking and experiencing emotional distress, it’s essential to show prompt concern when they are upset. Ignoring them or responding with indifference will only escalate their anger, as what Cancers desire most when they’re upset is the reassurance of their significant other’s attitude.
They long for someone who is willing to engage in open communication and resolve issues, which includes addressing their own negative emotions. Once this is assured, Cancers become less concerned with the past and are more focused on building a better future.
Think of it this way: when a nuclear power plant has a leak, the priority isn’t just about why the leak occurred, but it’s about taking immediate action to fix the damage. This concept applies to dealing with Cancers in relationships. Instead of dwelling on the past, it’s more constructive to ensure that such issues won’t happen again.
For example, if you didn’t respond to a Cancer’s message and they got upset, they may fear that you’re becoming close with someone else and neglecting them. Trust with a Cancer should be built gradually. The right approach when a Cancer is upset is not to relentlessly explain why you were playing a video game instead of texting back, and why they shouldn’t be upset.
Rather, it’s about discussing whether, in the future, you should let them know in advance that you’ll be occupied and promise to reconnect later.
Cancers tend to be more unstable emotionally when they care deeply about someone, and their moods can easily be influenced by the actions of the people they value.
Moreover, Cancersare not quick to develop trust in someone. Their emotional instability and uncontrolled temper often stem from their fundamental concern: “Does this person truly care about me? Are they taking me seriously and showing me the respect I deserve?”

Does your PSU have a 3 pin fan monitor cable connected to your motherboard? If it doesn't then your board/asus probe can't monitor it anyway. Are you sure it isn't just cos the heatwave has backed off and the fan is thermally controlled (so on a lower setting)?
These thermally controlled psus are a nightmare in our workplace. They dont turn on due to nice air con office so they just accumalate dust until they literally go bang. Had 2 do it in the last couple weeks.

'Apple Pay' coming to UK next month: Here's how it will work
There will be a backlash against banks and building societies which promote Apple Pay from the anti-apple people who don't want an iPhone or anything Apple. It will be a case of bye-bye Nationwide from me.
There will be equivalents of Apple Pay from Samsung and possibly a wider Android version. There's no need to be anti-Apple and consequently anti-Nationwide, just because Apple was first to market.
There will be a backlash against banks and building societies which promote Apple Pay from the anti-apple people who don't want an iPhone or anything Apple. It will be a case of bye-bye Nationwide from me.
Odd. It won't make any difference to people who don't use iThings.
I can easily patch my Android phone to an iThing by attaching a sticker sent to me by Barclaycard. They call is a PayTag.
EE have Cash on Tap for qualifying Android phones; there's the Barclay's PayTag (as mentioned above) and also Android Wallet (which I believe launches with Android M) for those who don't have/don't want an iDevice.
If you don't want to use the facility; you don't have to (nor do you have to ditch your bank account!)
It's not your credit score that counts, it's your credit history. Any replies are my own personal opinion and not a representation of my employer

Is It Worth Buying a Portable Solar Generator?
Portable solar generators are becoming increasingly popular, but is it worth investing in one? This article will provide a comprehensive analysis of portable solar generators, including their benefits, potential drawbacks, and practical applications. By the end of this article, you will have a clear understanding of whether a portable solar generator is a worthy investment for your needs.
1. Understanding Portable Solar Generators
Portable solar generators are compact devices that convert solar energy into electrical power. They typically consist of three main components: solar panels, a battery storage system, and an inverter. These generators harness sunlight, store the energy in a battery, and convert it into usable electricity for various applications.
Advertisements
1.1 How Do Portable Solar Generators Work?
Solar panels absorb sunlight and convert it into direct current (DC) electricity. This electricity is then stored in a battery for later use. The inverter transforms the stored DC electricity into alternating current (AC), which is the standard electrical current used by most household appliances and devices. This process allows you to power your electronics, tools, and even small appliances without relying on traditional power sources.
Advertisements
1.2 Key Components of a Portable Solar Generator
Solar Panels: These are the primary components that capture sunlight and convert it into electricity. The efficiency and capacity of the solar panels determine how much energy the generator can produce.
Advertisements
Battery Storage: The battery stores the electricity generated by the solar panels. The capacity of the battery determines how long the generator can supply power.
Advertisements
Inverter: The inverter converts the stored DC electricity into AC electricity, making it compatible with most electronic devices and appliances.
2. Benefits of Portable Solar Generators
Portable solar generators offer numerous advantages that make them an attractive option for various users. Below are some key benefits:
2.2 Cost-Effective in the Long Run
While the initial investment in a portable solar generator may be higher than that of a conventional generator, the long-term savings can be significant. Solar energy is free, meaning that once you have purchased the generator and solar panels, there are no ongoing fuel costs. Additionally, maintenance costs are generally lower, as solar generators have fewer moving parts that can wear out over time.
2.3 Quiet Operation
Traditional gas-powered generators can be noisy, which can be a nuisance in quiet environments or residential areas. In contrast, portable solar generators operate silently, making them ideal for use in noise-sensitive areas such as campsites, RV parks, or during outdoor events.
2.4 Portability and Convenience
One of the main advantages of portable solar generators is their mobility. They are designed to be lightweight and compact, making them easy to transport and set up. This makes them an excellent choice for outdoor enthusiasts, campers, and anyone who needs a reliable power source on the go.
2.5 Emergency Backup Power
Portable solar generators can provide a reliable source of backup power during emergencies or power outages. This is particularly important for people living in areas prone to natural disasters or those who rely on medical equipment that requires a constant power supply.
3. Potential Drawbacks of Portable Solar Generators
While portable solar generators have many benefits, it is essential to consider some potential drawbacks before making a purchase.
3.1 Initial Cost
The upfront cost of a portable solar generator can be relatively high compared to traditional generators. High-quality solar panels, batteries, and inverters can be expensive, which may be a barrier for some buyers.
3.2 Limited Power Output
Portable solar generators are generally designed for small to medium power needs. They may not be suitable for powering large appliances or providing electricity for an entire home. Users with higher energy demands may need to invest in multiple units or consider larger, stationary solar power systems.
3.3 Dependence on Weather Conditions
The efficiency of solar generators is directly related to sunlight availability. In regions with frequent cloudy or rainy weather, the generator’s performance may be reduced. Additionally, solar panels need direct sunlight to function optimally, which can be a limitation in shaded areas or during the night.
3.4 Battery Lifespan and Replacement
The lifespan of the battery in a portable solar generator is finite, typically ranging from 5 to 15 years, depending on the quality and usage. Eventually, the battery will need to be replaced, which can be an additional expense.
4. Practical Applications of Portable Solar Generators
Portable solar generators have a wide range of applications, making them versatile tools for various situations.
4.1 Outdoor Recreation
For outdoor enthusiasts, portable solar generators provide a reliable power source for camping, hiking, and boating. They can charge electronic devices, power lights, and even run small appliances, enhancing the overall outdoor experience.
4.2 Emergency Preparedness
Having a portable solar generator on hand can be invaluable during emergencies or natural disasters. They can keep essential devices charged, power medical equipment, and provide lighting when the grid is down.
4.3 Remote Worksites
Portable solar generators are ideal for remote worksites where access to the electrical grid is limited. They can power tools, lights, and communication equipment, enabling work to continue uninterrupted.
4.4 Recreational Vehicles (RVs)
For RV owners, portable solar generators offer a convenient and eco-friendly way to power appliances, lights, and entertainment systems while on the road. They reduce the reliance on traditional fuel-powered generators and can extend the duration of off-grid adventures.
5. Evaluating the Cost-Benefit Analysis
When considering whether to invest in a portable solar generator, it is essential to conduct a cost-benefit analysis to determine if it meets your needs and budget.
5.1 Initial Investment vs. Long-Term Savings
While the initial cost of a portable solar generator can be high, the long-term savings from reduced fuel and maintenance costs can offset this investment. Calculating the total cost of ownership over the generator’s lifespan can provide a clearer picture of its economic viability.
5.2 Assessing Your Power Needs
Understanding your power requirements is crucial when evaluating a portable solar generator. Consider the devices and appliances you need to power, their energy consumption, and the duration of use. This will help you determine the appropriate size and capacity of the generator to meet your needs.
5.3 Environmental Impact
For environmentally conscious consumers, the ecological benefits of using a portable solar generator can be a significant factor in the decision-making process. Reducing reliance on fossil fuels and minimizing carbon emissions contribute to a more sustainable future.
6. Tips for Choosing the Right Portable Solar Generator
Selecting the right portable solar generator involves considering several factors to ensure it meets your specific needs and preferences.
6.1 Power Capacity
Determine the total wattage required to power your devices and appliances. Choose a generator with a power capacity that matches or exceeds your needs to ensure reliable performance.
6.2 Battery Capacity and Type
The battery capacity determines how long the generator can provide power. Consider generators with high-capacity lithium-ion batteries for longer runtimes and better performance.
6.3 Solar Panel Efficiency
The efficiency of the solar panels affects how quickly the generator can recharge. Look for panels with high conversion efficiency to maximize energy production.
6.4 Portability and Weight
If you plan to use the generator for outdoor activities or travel, prioritize lightweight and compact models for ease of transport and setup.
6.5 Additional Features
Some portable solar generators come with extra features such as USB ports, multiple AC outlets, and integrated LED lights. Evaluate these features based on your specific needs and preferences.
7. Conclusion: Is a Portable Solar Generator Worth It?
In conclusion, whether a portable solar generator is worth buying depends on your individual needs and circumstances. For those who prioritize eco-friendly power solutions, require a reliable backup power source, or frequently engage in outdoor activities, a portable solar generator can be a valuable investment. While the initial cost may be high, the long-term savings, environmental benefits, and convenience make it a compelling option for many users.
By carefully evaluating your power needs, understanding the benefits and limitations, and selecting the right model, you can make an informed decision that aligns with your lifestyle and values. In a world increasingly focused on sustainability and renewable energy, portable solar generators offer a practical and forward-thinking solution for clean, reliable

The direction the fox is moving can influence the message it brings. If the fox is moving away from you, it might signal that a situation is coming to an end.
If it moves toward you, it could indicate that you are about to face something new or have an opportunity approaching. The direction gives context to the encounter’s meaning and helps you interpret the message more accurately.

Elden Ring: Activating the Rampart Tower Elevator
In the game Elden Ring, players will come across various puzzles and obstacles that need to be solved or overcome in order to progress. One such obstacle is the Rampart Tower Elevator in Stormveil Castle. Activating this elevator requires a specific set of steps, which we will outline below.

Consider the trigonometric circle (a unit circle centered at the origin in Cartesian coordinates) and a ray connecting the origin O = (0,0) to a point P = (cos(t), sin(t)). Then, the horizontal projection of P is (cos(t),0) and the vertical projection is (0,sin(t)). This enables us to associate the sine and cosine functions with the diagram's geometry.
Question: Where does the tan function fit in that diagram?
Answer: Draw a tangent line L to the circle at (1,0). Extend the ray OP to intersect the line L at some point H. You will see right away that H = (1, tan(t)). So the tan function is associated with the point H in our diagram. This is an absolutely essential information that should be conveyed to the students when teaching them the trigonometric circle. [The function cot also has a similar geometric interpretation; I will leave it to you to figure it out.]
The animation below demonstrates the tan function properly in the context of the trigonometric circle. Note the vertical tangent line to the unit circle.
Acer has offered an answer by modifying your worksheet as you have requested. But your worksheet is much more complicated than it needs be. Here is a clean way of producing your diagram. You should be able to merge this with the improvements suggested by acer.
What you have is not an error, but a bad choice of coordinates. The intersection of a cone and plane is best described in cylindrical coordinates. You will get a perfect ellipse that way.
You have the cone z=x^2+y^2, and the plane z = 3 + y/3. Switch to cylindrical coordinates with x=r*cos(t), y=r*sin(t). Then the equations of the cone and the plane become z = r^2 and z=3+1/3*r*sin(t). At the intersection we have r^2 = 2 + 1/3*r*sin(t). Solve this quadratic for r in terms of t. Pick either of the two solutions. Call it r(t). Then the intersection curve is the ellipse described as a space curve:

Imagine sitting in English class. Your eyes are reading words, but your brain isn't making any sense of them. Then, your teacher calls on you to answer a question. You panic. And all that comes out of your mouth is "umm."
I've seen this happen countless times in literature classes. Teachers ask questions, and students don't know how to respond. And it's not because students aren't paying attention. Oftentimes, it's simply because literature is hard and requires skills that students need to actively build.
That's where this class comes in.
From Frankenstein to Walden, I help students understand literature and complete assignments for Honors and AP English classes.
This class is for students who:
-Are struggling to understand the book assigned in English class.
-Need guidance on understanding a book or passage to complete an assignment.
-Want to have a safe space to discuss a reading.
I will not complete assignments for students. But I will coach them and give them tools to help them understand and appreciate literature.
...
As soon as you book the class, I'll message you to better understand which book you need guidance for, and we can arrange a time to meet. I'll usually have you bring your book and assignment to class, but if you don't have a specific assignment, and would prefer general guidance, I can create discussion questions for the book.
Based on the sample class (below), you can see that each lesson will look different depending on the student's needs. If you message me before booking the class, we can discuss the specifics of what your lesson will look like based on your student's needs.
...
Sample class on The Scarlet Letter by Nathaniel Hawthorne:
The student told me that they need to write an essay on the use of chains as a symbol in chapter 12 of the book. We both read chapter 12 before class, and when we met, we discussed what this symbol could mean. We created a draft of the essay together. After class, the student completed the essay on their own. They sent it to me before submitting the final draft to their teacher.
...
Specific books that I have taught in the past:
Frankenstein by Mary Shelley
Walden by Henry David Thoreau
The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald
One Hundred Years of Solitude by Gabriel Garcia Marquez
Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen
Death of a Salesman by Arthur Miller
Song of Solomon by Toni Morrison
Native Son by Richard Wright
If you don't see the book you need help with here, please send me a message.

Celebrate Durga Puja in a poetic style, the book takes us through the Pujo rituals and Navratri. The book starts from Shashti (the sixth day) to Dashami (the tenth day). It uses vibrant illustrations and simple yet poetic words. The Author, Shoumi Sen, does a wonderful job of explaining the rituals and what exactly is done on what day without going overboard. There are just adequate details for us to know how exactly the Pujos are celebrated in Bengal and why they hold a special place in every Bengali's heart.

In the vibrant world of gambling, few games have captivated players quite like roulette. With its spinning wheel and bouncing ball, the allure of chance hangs in the air, inviting thrill-seekers to place their bets. Yet, as the wheel begins to spin, it becomes clear that not all roulette wheels are created equal. Two dominant variations—European and American roulette—offer distinct experiences that influence the odds and strategies players can employ. Whether you’re a casual gambler or a seasoned pro, the question remains: which wheel spins in your favor? In this article, we’ll delve into the nuances of each version, exploring their rules, house edges, and potential payouts to help you decide where to place your bets in the grand game of chance. Whether you dream of the sophisticated elegance of a European casino or the bustling charm of an American gaming hall, the answer might just change your luck at the table.
Exploring the Layout: Differences Between European and American Roulette Wheels
When delving into the differences between the two popular variants of roulette, one of the most noticeable features is the layout of the wheels themselves. The European roulette wheel consists of 37 pockets, numbered from 0 to 36, while the American version hosts 38 pockets, which include an additional 00 alongside the 0 and numbers 1 through 36. This seemingly small addition significantly alters the dynamics of the game. The presence of the extra zero in American roulette increases the house edge, making it a less favorable option for players compared to its European counterpart. Consequently, many gamblers prefer the European layout, as it offers slightly better odds for the players.
In addition to the number of pockets, the arrangement of these numbers also plays a critical role during gameplay. Both wheels are designed with a carefully calculated sequence to balance the spread of odds. On the European wheel, the numbers are systematically placed with odds and evens alternating in various sections, enhancing the visual appeal and helping players track their bets more effectively. In contrast, the American wheel exhibits a different arrangement that can lead to a less predictable gaming experience. This can make it easier for seasoned players to develop strategies when navigating a European layout, demonstrating why it remains a favorite among roulette enthusiasts.
Understanding House Edge: Which Variation Offers Better Odds
In the realm of roulette, understanding the concept of house edge is crucial for any player looking to optimize their chances. The house edge refers to the built-in advantage that casinos have over players, and it varies significantly between the two popular variations of the game: European and American. European roulette features a single zero (0), while American roulette includes both a single zero (0) and a double zero (00). This difference leads to a greater house edge in American roulette, which stands at 5.26% compared to 2.70% for European roulette. These percentages translate directly to your odds of winning, emphasizing that the European version offers better potential returns for players seeking to extend their gameplay and minimize losses.
To further illustrate the difference in odds, let’s break down the payouts and risks associated with both game variants:
Type
House Edge
Typical Payout for Bet
European Roulette
2.70%
35 to 1
American Roulette
5.26%
35 to 1
While the payout for winning bets remains the same across both variations, the house edge affects long-term gameplay, making European roulette a more favorable choice for players who are mindful of their odds. if your goal is to improve your chances at the table, opting for European roulette not only enhances your experience but also aligns with a strategy geared towards minimizing the house’s advantage.
Strategies to Enhance Your Game: Tips for Betting on Roulette
Understanding the nuances between European and American roulette can significantly impact your betting strategy. One of the key strategies is to focus on the house edge. European roulette features a single zero, giving it a house edge of about 2.7%, whereas American roulette has both a zero and a double zero, increasing the house edge to approximately 5.26%. Opting for European roulette when placing your bets can enhance your chances of winning in the long run. Additionally, understanding the types of bets you can place—such as outside bets (red/black, odd/even) with lower risk or inside bets with higher payouts—can help you tailor your approach to suit your risk appetite.
Another effective strategy involves setting clear budgets and limiting your playtime. Before hitting the roulette table, establish a bankroll that you’re comfortable with and stick to it to prevent unplanned losses. Utilize techniques like the Martingale system, where you double your bet after each loss, or the Fibonacci strategy, which follows a number sequence to determine bet sizes. These methods provide structured betting patterns, although caution is advised as they entail risks and require careful management. Keep track of your wins and losses in a table format to analyze your performance over time:
When it comes to choosing your roulette wheel, several key factors can influence your decision. Understanding the house edge is crucial. In a European roulette wheel, there is only one zero pocket, offering a house edge of 2.7%. Conversely, the American wheel includes both a single and a double zero, resulting in a significantly higher house edge of 5.26%. This difference can dramatically affect your odds of winning, so if you are looking for better long-term prospects, the European option may be more favorable.
Additionally, consider the atmosphere and personal preference that each variant brings to the table. European roulette tends to be favored in European casinos and has a classic feel, whereas American roulette is often associated with the dazzling lights of Las Vegas. Your choice may also depend on the game variations offered at your chosen venue, such as specific betting options or special rules like “la partage” or “en prison,” which can enhance your experience. It’s essential to weigh these factors to make an informed decision that aligns with your playing style and goals.

Whether you are drawn to the elegance of the European wheel with its single zero or the thrilling allure of the American version with its double zero, the choice ultimately lies in your personal preferences and playing style.
roulette is not merely a game of chance; it is an experience that intertwines excitement, anticipation, and a touch of risk.

Slot machines, particularly the highly popular slot gacor a term referring to a machine that hits frequent or substantial wins, have long fascinated players due to their seemingly unpredictable nature. But behind the flashing lights and spinning reels lies a deep psychological play at work, subtly influencing player behavior and their sense of luck. The allure of a slot gacor is not just about the potential to win big but also involves a range of psychological factors that drive people to keep playing, sometimes long after they have won or lost money. One of the key psychological factors behind a slot gacor is the concept of intermittent reinforcement. Unlike games where players can see their progress or predict outcomes, slot machines are based on random number generation. This randomness means that wins are unpredictable, which can be more psychologically rewarding than a consistent reward system. Intermittent rewards where a player might win on the first, third, or twentieth spin keep people engaged because they never know when the next win will come.
This unpredictability taps into a primal part of the brain that gets excited by the possibility of reward, making it hard to walk away. The illusion of control also plays a significant role in why players gravitate toward slot gacor machines. Even though modern slot machines are designed with complex algorithms that make it impossible for players to influence the outcome, many players develop rituals or strategies they believe can tilt the odds in their favor. Whether it is pulling the lever in a certain way, pressing buttons at a specific time, or playing at certain hours, these actions give players a sense of agency. This perceived control can enhance the thrill of playing and keep people returning, thinking that their personal touch might make the difference in hitting that big jackpot. Another psychological factor is near misses. Slot machines are programmed in a way that often shows players symbols that are close to a winning combination, creating the perception that they almost won.
This near-win experience can be just as exhilarating as an actual win, triggering a sense of anticipation that a big payout is imminent. Research has shown that near misses activate the brain’s reward system similarly to actual wins, encouraging players to keep spinning, believing that a win is just around the corner. Escapism is also a driving force behind the popularity of slot machines, including slot gacor. Many players are drawn to these games because they offer a temporary escape from daily stresses. The bright colors, engaging sounds, and immersive nature of slot games can transport people into a different mental space, where the only thing that matters is the spin of the reels. For some, this immersion can be so powerful that it overrides the logical understanding of the odds, leading them to continue playing even when it might not be in their best financial interest. The gambler’s fallacy is yet another psychological factor that plays into the dynamics of situs slot gacor wins.

However, one critical aspect that often gets overlooked in the excitement is the importance of awareness while engaging in these games. Awareness, in this context, refers to a conscious understanding of the risks, rewards, and overall impact that online slot gaming can have on individuals’ lives. Developing and maintaining this awareness is essential for fostering responsible gaming habits and safeguarding one’s well-being.

Unlike games of skill, slot machines operate purely on chance, meaning there is no guaranteed way to win. Despite this, the immersive nature of the games, combined with constant visual and auditory stimuli, can create a sense of invincibility or encourage players to chase losses.
Without being aware of the random nature of these games, players may develop unrealistic expectations, leading to financial difficulties. Setting strict limits on time and money spent while keeping in mind that the primary purpose of these games is entertainment rather than profit is a critical aspect of responsible gaming. Moreover, awareness is key in recognizing the psychological impact of slot gaming.

How to Interpret Results from Surface Sampling for Mold Detection
Understanding the results of surface sampling for mold detection is crucial for maintaining a healthy indoor environment. Mold can pose serious health risks, and knowing how to interpret these results can guide homeowners, property managers, and remediation professionals in making informed decisions. This comprehensive guide aims to provide a clear understanding of how to interpret mold test results, focusing on key concepts, methodologies, and actionable insights.
Understanding Mold and Its Impact
Mold is a type of fungus that thrives in damp, warm environments. It reproduces through spores that can become airborne, leading to potential health issues when inhaled. Common symptoms associated with mold exposure include respiratory problems, allergies, and skin irritations. Understanding mold’s impact on health and the environment is essential for effective remediation.
Health Risks Associated with Mold
Mold exposure can lead to a variety of health issues, particularly in sensitive individuals. Common health risks include:
• Respiratory Issues: Mold spores can irritate the lungs and airways, leading to conditions such as asthma or chronic bronchitis.
• Water Damage: Areas with a history of water leaks or flooding are prime candidates for mold growth.
Surface Sampling: An Overview
Surface sampling is a common method used to detect mold presence on surfaces. This technique involves collecting samples from suspected contaminated areas and sending them to a laboratory for analysis.
Types of Surface Sampling Techniques
There are several methods for collecting surface samples, including:
• Swab Sampling: A sterile swab is used to collect samples from surfaces. This method is effective for small, localized areas.
• Tape Lift Sampling: Adhesive tape is applied to a surface to capture mold spores. This method is useful for textured surfaces.
• Bulk Sampling: A piece of the material (e.g., drywall) is removed and sent for analysis. This method is ideal for larger areas of contamination.
When to Use Surface Sampling
Surface sampling is recommended when:
• There is visible mold growth.
• Water damage has occurred.
• Indoor air quality issues are suspected.
Interpreting Surface Sampling Results
Once the samples are collected, they are analyzed in a laboratory. Understanding the results is crucial for determining the next steps in remediation.
Key Metrics in Mold Testing
Mold test results typically include several key metrics, such as:
• Spore Count: The number of mold spores detected in the sample. Higher counts indicate a greater potential for health risks.
• Mold Species Identification: The types of mold present in the sample. Some species are more harmful than others.
• Comparison with Control Samples: Results are often compared to control samples taken from unaffected areas or outside to determine if mold levels are elevated.
Understanding Spore Counts
Spore counts are usually reported as spores per square centimeter (spores/cm²) or spores per cubic meter (spores/m³). Here’s how to interpret these counts:
• 0-50 spores/cm²: Considered low; typically not a concern.
• 51-500 spores/cm²: Indicates a potential issue; further investigation may be needed.
Control Humidity Levels
Regular Inspections
Conduct regular inspections of areas prone to moisture, such as basements, bathrooms, and kitchens. Early detection can prevent mold growth.
Proper Ventilation
Ensure proper ventilation in areas like bathrooms and kitchens to reduce moisture buildup. Use exhaust fans and open windows when possible.
Conclusion
Interpreting surface sampling results for mold detection is a critical skill for maintaining a healthy indoor environment. By understanding the implications of spore counts, common mold species, and the necessary steps for remediation, individuals can take proactive measures to ensure their spaces remain safe and mold-free. Regular monitoring and preventive actions can help mitigate the risks associated with mold, ultimately leading to a healthier living environment.
This article provides a comprehensive overview of interpreting results from surface sampling for mold detection, covering various aspects from understanding mold’s impact to prevention strategies.
