By Rabbi Yonah Burr
Rav Yehoshua Ben Levi said: Every statement that Hashem uttered at Har Sinai brought along with it a fragrance that completely filled the world. The Gemara asks, if the fragrant of the first statement completely filled the world, how was there room for a second? The Gemara explains that Hashem then whisked the fragrance away into Gan Eden, to make room for the second.
Rav Yehoshua Ben Levi said: With every statement that Hashem uttered, our souls left our bodies. The Gemara again asks, if our souls left our bodies with the first statement, how were we able to accept a second? The Gemara answers, Hashem took out His special dew and revived us.
Rav Yehoshua Ben Levi says again: Wth every statement of Hashem, the Jewish People were thrust back twelve kilometers, the length of the entire camp. Again, the Gemara explains that Hashem sent merciful angels to gently bring us back, in order to receive the next statement. (Shabbos 88b)
The message of the Gemara seems to be clear. Each and every statement of Torah, each and every mitzva, each and every Torah thought, is enough to completely fill the world with a spiritual fragrance. So much that a miracle was necessary, simply to allow room for more. Each mitzva is already enough to completely overwhelm us, and it is only because Hashem connects it with the eternity of Gan Eden, and revives us with the dew of the future resurrection, that we have the capacity to accept another.
The Torah is the word of Hashem, timeless, eternal, and unlimited. Naturally, it would be impossible for a mere mortal to receive it, let alone absorb it, and it is only through the special help of Hashem that we have the capacity to fulfill it.
Where did we receive the merit to be the beneficiaries of this awesome gift? Through our declaration of נעשה ונשמע - our unwavering faith that anything and everything that Hashem asks of us inherently includes the ability to fulfill it.
Every challenge we face, and every test we are given, includes the strength to pass it, and grow from it.
The Mishna teaches us, ‘Hashem wants to merit the Jewish People, He therefore gave them an abundance of Torah and Mitzvos’. (end of tractate Makkos)
How does an abundance of Mitzvos bring us merit?
The Rambam in his commentary to the Mishna explains this beautifully. As we have seen in the gemara, each and every mitzva is eternal, and enough to fill the entire world. The only reason there is even room for another is because Hashem places it and connects it to Gan Eden- it is connected to eternity.
Declares the Rambam, if a Jew fulfills even one mitzva properly, in its entirety, without any ulterior motive, that act is a spiritual, eternal act. Eternity is eternal, beyond our comprehension, and can’t be quantified. One Mitzvah is enough to merit the entire world to come! Hashem in His unlimited kindness gave us so many mitzvos, to ensure that every single Jew will fulfill at least one properly. This is our ticket to eternity, to the world to come! Fortunate are we that we are given so many opportunities for eternity, and we are given the special Yom Tov of Shavuos to rededicate ourselves to this ideal every year!
Have a wonderful Yom Tov!

Many kids on the spectrum face challenges outwardly expressing their emotions, Rosalind Picard, ScD of the MIT Media Lab told a crowd of parents and professionals during her presentation, the third in KiDA’s Innovation Series. And this is why Picard and her colleagues – including Innovation Series speaker Matthew Goodwin – have spent years creating technology to help read and examine the emotional states of those who may be unable to communicate them. The multimedia presentation was titled “Advances in Personalized Technology for Autism, Emotion, Sleep and Seizures”.
Picard discussed wireless wristbands whose sensors measure the electricity being conducted through the skin to determine the state of the sympathetic nervous system, which controls the fight-or-flight response in humans. These wristbands show, in real time, the levels of emotional stress and arousal of individuals whose appearance on the outside may differ from what they’re feeling inside. She also revealed a newly discovered benefit: The wristbands may accurately alert others to early signs of severe seizures in children. Data collected from the sensors showed that seizures can be preceded by huge spikes in skin conductance arousal. More than 25 percent of kids with ASD have seizures, said Picard.
Picard then talked about how the sensors can test the depth of sleep and sleep patterns of children with autism – an important issue, as more than half of parents report that their kids on the spectrum have sleep problems, she said. The wristbands measure the arousal kids have while trying to fall asleep and the level they have in deep sleep.
Picard also touched on other types of technology being developed in her lab, including how researchers are teaching computers to read the expressions on peoples’ faces, such as those indicating concentration, disagreement and confusion. This technology could eventually go a long way toward helping people with autism spectrum disorders better process the emotions of themselves and others.
About Rosalind Picard, ScD:
Professor Rosalind W. Picard, Sc.D. is leader of the Autism & Communication Technology Initiative at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), founder and director of the Affective Computing Research Group at the MIT Media Laboratory, and co-director of the Things That Think Consortium, the largest industrial sponsorship organization at the lab . She is co-founder, chief scientist and chairman of Affectiva, Inc., which makes technology to measure and communicate emotion. Picard holds a bachelor’s degree in electrical engineering from the Georgia Institute of Technology, and master’s and doctorate degrees in electrical engineering and computer science from MIT. She joined the MIT Media Lab faculty in 1991.

text: 10 Second Run review. Classic Game Room presents a CGRundertow review of 10 Second Run, a downloadable game from G-Mode and Gamebridge on the eShop for the Nintendo 3DS. Originally released to DSiWare in 2010, 10 Second Run strips the platformer down to a blank canvas. From there, it starts with platforms made of solid black lines, and it adds a red stick figure for character. That's about it. 10 Second Run ignores style altogether and gives you classic platforming in ultra concentrated doses. If platforming were alcohol, 10 Second Run would be, like, a thousand proof. Part of the GO Series, this is an extremely tough game platforming veterans should love. This video review features video gameplay footage of 10 Second Run for the Nintendo 3DS and audio commentary from Classic Game Room's Derek.

In Nye County, Nevada, the deeply rooted corruption of the Harry Reid dynasty, and his evil surrogates, has taken a big hit. On the heels of the Bundy Ranch situation, the Nye County Board of County Commissioners passed two resolutions; one for Free Speech and one in support of Ranchers. Tired of being under the thumb of overlord, Harry Reid, Nye County stepped up and took action. In the video below, I interview the County Commissioner, Donna Cox, and the Chairman of the Nye County Republican Party, Bill Carnes. Sandwiched in between is an interview with Oath Keeper and Veteran, Leah Aldrich, who made the trip down to Bunkerville the day the BLM backed out.

Email still offers the most critical form of communication in the maritime shipping industry. Despite advances in other forms of communication, email remains the most efficient and reliable way to send messages between ships, ports, and shore-side operations. This blog post will discuss why email is still king in the maritime shipping industry.
Why is Email Used So Heavily in the Maritime Shipping Sector?
Email is a vital communication tool for the maritime shipping industry, as it offers a reliable, fast, and secure method of communication. Email enables shipping businesses to keep track of their operations across multiple teams, allowing them to send and receive messages that can be accessed from anywhere.
In addition to its versatility and convenience, email provides an effective way to store crucial data related to shipment tracking. With email communications, documents such as contracts and bills of lading can be sent back and forth quickly, ensuring that all relevant information is easily accessible. For this reason, email is essential for maritime shipping companies when organizing shipments safely and efficiently.
Shipping Companies Are Seeing Staggering Email Volumes
Due to the nature of the maritime industry, shippers must keep organized communications records with customers, suppliers, and other stakeholders to ensure successful operations. The email volume experienced at maritime shipping companies is expected to remain high and unlikely to decline soon. This is because it is a reliable form of communication that keeps records and information easily accessible when needed.
Email has become an essential part of the shipping industry due to its ease of use and ability to cut costs associated with paper documents. In addition, emails allow for an efficient way to communicate with customers domestically and internationally and coordinate shipments between multiple parties. This means shippers can keep track of shipments more accurately while responding quickly and efficiently, reducing errors due to delays or miscommunications.
Types of Email Communication at Shipping Companies
Shipping companies typically send out various emails to communicate with customers, vendors, and other maritime industry stakeholders. These emails may include confirmation emails when an order has been placed, client-specific emails tailored for each customer’s needs, delivery dates for upcoming orders, and further information on the shipped product—including any issues with the shipment.
Moreover, many maritime shipping companies have embraced advanced email collaboration tools designed specifically for their industry needs. These tools make it easier for multiple teams working in silos to communicate effectively with one another while keeping track of all the critical documents associated with each shipment. Through these email collaboration platforms, maritime shippers can manage operations more effectively by using their resources better while reducing risk factors such as delays or lost cargo shipments.
reMARK: Email Collaboration Designed for the Maritime Shipping Industry
Evidently, email is not going anywhere anytime soon in the maritime shipping industry. Regarding a more advanced solution, however, many shipping companies have turned to email collaboration platforms, such as reMARK. This platform is specifically designed for maritime shippers and allows teams to communicate, store information, and assign tasks quickly and conveniently.
reMARK contains various features like smart folders, automated email archiving, and advanced search features complete with email filters, enabling better inbox management, greater visibility, and reduced work overlaps. Now, maritime shippers have an efficient solution for better collaboration and streamlined communication.
reMARK is the ideal choice for maritime shipping companies looking to streamline maritime communication while improving team collaboration. Get in touch with Nordic IT today to learn more about how reMARK can help facilitate maritime shipping success.

Friday Five Intervew: Tony Merida
I’m always excited to meet new authors, especially new authors who are pastors, and especially new authors, who are pastors, who publish with my friends at New Hope, who has published all my books. I was asked a few months ago to consider endorsing a book by Dr. Tony Merida, entitled, Orphanology, to be released in 2011. I read through the draft and came away very impressed and inspired. It is a thorough handbook on the theology and practice of adoption. For anyone needing a comprehensive biblical and practical book on orphan care and adoption, this will be your book.
Dr. Merida is a Teaching Pastor at Temple Baptist Church in Hattiesburg, Mississippi, a dual-campus church of about 3,500 active members. He is also an adjunct professor at New Orleans Baptist Theological Seminary.
I liked the book so much, I asked Dr. Merida to stop by and answer a few questions. He graciously agreed and so here is Dr. Merida and The Friday Five:
1) You wrote the book, Faithful Preaching. Why do you think preaching, what some considered an old-fashioned mode of communication, is still relevant today?
My beliefs about preaching are driven more from theological convictions than cultural assessments. If you listen to many today, they will argue that people won’t listen to preaching (especially long preaching) and that we need to move to more dialogue or more video-driven methods. While I believe that there are places for dialogue (small groups) and a place for video-media tools, we shouldn’t throw preaching out because of what we perceive people want or need based upon the winds of ever-changing culture. Instead, I believe we must take our cue from God’s Word. If we believe it to be the inspired Word of God, then why would we want to do anything other than what it says about preaching? I’m not referring to the form of preaching, but the essence of preaching; that is, standing up, opening a Bible, reading it, explaining it and applying it to people’s lives in a way that they can understand it. Why wouldn’t we do this?
I’ve been given a timeless charge to “preach the Word.” The spoken Word and the written Word have been God’s chosen means of revealing Christ to the world. In fact, God was the first preacher. He spoke creation into existence. He could have done it other ways, but he didn’t. He then created mankind in his image, with the ability to (among other things) talk. He then called Abraham to himself. He then used the prophets to speak to people. They were creative, and spoke the timely words necessary. When Christ came to earth, like the prophet John the Baptist, he came preaching repentance. As Jesus commissioned his disciples, he urged them to teachand proclaim the Gospel. At Pentecost, Peter preached a really good sermon about Jesus and thousands were saved. Later Paul urges Timothy to “preach the Word” and reminds us that “faith comes by hearing and hearing from the word of Christ.” Paul also tells Timothy in corporate worship that someone should read the Scriptures and then exhort the hearers about these things. We could go on. When Christ returns he is called “the Word of God.” Therefore, preaching is built on a biblical-theological framework. If one starts from the Bible, I think they’ll be led to preach God’s Word faithfully. Is preaching old-fashioned? Yes. But not “1960’s old fashioned.” It’s as old as creation. And until Christ returns, preaching will continue to be relevant. We need to improve at it, to be sure, but folks shouldn’t dismiss it because they see poor examples of it.
2) It seems to me that there is a movement back toward substantive, solid preaching and teaching, even expository. Why is that?
This is related to question 1. I think that where you find a group of people affirming the inspiration and truthfulness of Scripture, you will find a group of people doing substantive preaching. You show your beliefs about the Bible, your real beliefs, by what you practice. Guys who are not teaching the Bible must think that there are other better ways to see lives changed. Besides this, I think some of the more popular younger evangelicals are doing Word-driven preaching, thereby setting an example for others. And I think another reason is probably due to the fact that the slick, seeker, market-driven church has left people wanting more.
3) You have a project coming out with New Hope entitled Orphanology. I had the privilege of reviewing the manuscript and was glad to give it an endorsement. How did this project come about?
Basically, I was preaching on the doctrine of adoption everywhere, and New Hope approached me about writing a book on adoption/orphan care. I thought that this would be a good idea in light of the fact that every time I spoke on the subject I received a gazillion questions about things like: ‘How do you pay for it?’ ‘How do you do orphan ministry in the local church?’ ‘How do you do orphan hosting ministry?’ I wanted to write a book that provide both a theological rational for adoption and orphan are as well as some practical answers to these common questions. With the help of Rick Morton, I think we’ve given a good effort and I hope it helps those interested in these things. I’ve thoroughly enjoyed writing it, and trying to live it with my five adopted children.
4) Adoption has always been a sort of personal choice/decision made by individual couples, but you seem to think it should be a church-wide calling. Why is that?
Adoption and orphan care is a biblical issue. If you want to obey the Bible, you better care for orphans – in some capacity. Not everyone will or should adopt, but some can and should. Others may support in other ways. Caring for orphans was a practice that continued after James wrote verse 1:27, as well. From historical documents, we read how people didn’t value human life (like today), and it was the Christians who cared for unwanted children. They received great attention for such sacrificial care. They believed, as we should, that anyone created in the image of God should be valued. So, I believe it to be a church-wide calling like other callings such as stewardship, evangelism, care for the poor, etc. because it’s a biblical issue.
5) What advice would you give to a couple who is thinking and praying about pursuing adoption?
I would tell them to begin by spending time reading the Scriptures and praying about the matter. I would encourage them to look at God’s concern for the fatherless throughout the Bible in general, and to take detailed look at the doctrine of adoption in particular. During the search phase, they may also begin reading literature on adoption and talking to adoptive parents. Once a decision is made, they would need to select a country in which to adopt. After deciding on this, they can then choose an adoption agency with which to work. From there, it’s a great adventure, one that should be bathed in prayer for God’s strength and wisdom because orphan care is warfare. They should expect opposition and struggle from every side, but God’s grace is sufficient for their weakness.

Matching Decimals and Equivalent Fractions / CHALLENGING & HIGH LEVEL
Students are given a column of decimals and a column of equivalent fractions to match, but there's a "trick" involved.
Some of the fractions ARE REDUCED and some are NOT REDUCED yet STILL equivalent to the decimals. This makes it much more challenging since the students must know the fractions are still equivalent even though they are not reduced to lowest terms.
Not for the beginner, but for reinforcement of the relationship between decimals and fractions.
Please look at the thumbnails or download preview to see just how difficult these are.
You can even use these as whole classroom lessons discussing the answers as you go along. Your download of 4 pages includes answers. Decorated for fun. By David Filipek

Game localization and its difficulties. Since 2012, the video game industry, driven by a dynamic and rapidly growing market, has silently taken over the global entertainment industry. Today, the combined revenue of the movie and music industry worldwide doesn’t even match half the revenue of the gaming industry.

PROVIDENCE — On Monday, nearly a week after he was ordered to publicly release an e-mail detailing allegations of “sexist, racist” behavior by two of his top officials, a Globe reporter asked Governor Dan McKee what he would say to those concerned about the quality of people working in his administration.
The governor paused.
“We have good people working in our administration,” he replied brusquely, and walked away.
Rhode Island @GovDanMcKee responds to Globe reporter @bamaral44's question:— Boston Globe Rhode Island (@Globe_RI) June 14, 2023
"What would you say to people who are concerned about the quality of the people working in your administration?"

Now, the major project — a revamp of the Cranston Street Armory — for which those two officials had gone to Philadelphia to meet its potential developer, seems to be in limbo. And critics are decrying McKee’s “totally inadequate and offensive” response to allegations revealed in an email from the project’s proposed developer.
“We are writing to you to outline a series of bizarre, offensive and unprofessional actions from Director David Patten and Director Jim Thorsen on their visit to Philadelphia,” executives from Scout Ltd., a Philadelphia-based urban development and design firm, wrote in the e-mail released by McKee on June 8. McKee made the e-mail public the day after Attorney General Peter F. Neronha ordered him to do so, saying McKee had violated the state Access to Public Records Act by refusing to release it.
“We are embarrassed, shocked, and quite frankly at an impasse for how to work with people who are so blatantly sexist, racist and unprofessional,” Abitbol wrote. “This reflects incredibly poorly on the State of Rhode Island and their leadership.”
The e-mail, which was dated March 12, was signed by Everett Abitbol, director of hospitality and development at Scout, and managing partner Lindsey Scannapieco. It was sent to Jeff Britt, who was hired by Scout to lobby for their project in Rhode Island.
During the March 10 trip to Philadelphia, Patten, director of the state Division of Capital Asset Management and Maintenance, commented on the appearance of a female business executive, asking where her husband was and saying, “If I knew your husband wasn’t going to be here, I would have come last night.”
At another point, he commented on a pair of sneakers he’d received, saying, “Are these made in China? I hope not, because I really hate China” — and then looked at a female Asian staff member in the room and said, “No offense, hun.”
And in a text, he ordered company officials to have “the best croissant in Philadelphia ready for me upon arrival” along with “a cold six pack waiting on the table in your conference room.”
“You have three hours to convince us to give you $55M,” he added.
Thorsen, who was director of the state Department of Administration at the time of the trip, left his state role and returned to the U.S. Treasury Department.
Patten, who makes $174,490 a year, remains on paid administrative leave – despite calls for him to resign. McKee did not immediately respond to the Globe’s questions on Tuesday about when Patten would return from paid administrative leave, or whether he would accept Patten’s resignation.
Michael P. Lynch, an attorney representing Patten, told the Globe that Patten is embarrassed and humiliated. Lynch said the events that unfolded on the trip to Philadelphia “were the result of a mental health event characterized by health professionals as an acute stress event that built up over time.”
“But he is not going to run or hide from this,” said Lynch.
An attorney for Thorsen released a statement to the Globe on Wednesday morning.
“I did not make any remark or make any statement to any person that was racially or sexually insensitive or inappropriate. I do not engage in that type of speech or conduct,” Thorsen said in the statement.
“I was aware that [Patten] was behaving strangely during this trip and was not representing the State in an appropriate or positive way,” Thorsen said. “This presented a dilemma on how to complete the meeting, but because of the time constraints, I endeavored to do so.”
Thorsen said he and his chief of staff debriefed both the state’s human resources offices and state police immediately after the trip.
“The allegations made in this matter are very serious,” he said. “I did not engage in the conduct described. Nor would I ever condone such conduct.”
Rebecca Atwood, president of the West Broadway Neighborhood Association that organizes neighbors and businesses in the area where the Cranston Street Armory is located, said the state’s response to the accusations is “totally inadequate and offensive.” She said McKee’s administration, which did not initially release Scout’s email in response to public records requests, “tried to cover it up, which is even more disrespectful.”
“It’s funny how there was serious momentum around this project... And then Scout reported these gross and violating behaviors to the governor and the brakes were slammed,” said Atwood.
Scout released its final report detailing its $56.8 million plans for the redevelopment of the state-owned Cranston Street Armory earlier this year. It included an indoor soccer complex, state offices, and a small business incubator. Mayor Brett P. Smiley’s 2023 legislative priorities for Providence included some public funding for the project, which he called necessary for the “blighted” building that has largely been vacant since the Rhode Island National Guard moved out in 1996.
But funding for the project was not included in the state budget released on June 2.
Siobhan Callahan, the executive director of the West Broadway Neighborhood Association, said the state was “not taking responsibility for their staff at the highest levels.”
“The state saying they have to ‘take another look’ at the project’s feasibility makes me wonder if they’re really just hurting Scout for reporting really disgusting behavior that shouldn’t still be happening in 2023,” said Callahan.
McKee issued a statement on May 8 that confirmed there were ongoing Human Resources and State Police investigations looking into allegations about Patten after the Philadelphia trip, but did not offer the public details about the allegations or the investigations. On May 9, McKee issued a second statement that said if Patten’s behavior was true, it was “disturbing, unacceptable and unfitting of anyone, especially an employee representing the state and who expects to be employed by the state.”
“This behavior prompted our administration to initiate and request the investigations, and we will have more to say once the process comes to a close,” said McKee in a statement.
The scope of the investigations are not yet clear. Calls to State Police spokesman Lieutenant Colonel Robert Creamer on Tuesday were not immediately returned.
“I think to read the content of those emails is certainly embarrassing for those involved [and] certainly embarrassing for the state,” Rhode Island Attorney General Peter Neronha told WPRI-TV on Tuesday. “Whether it means more than just embarrassment... we’ll have to wait and see the results of the state police investigation.”
Jen Gazdacko, the former president of the West Broadway Neighborhood Association, said that when she first walked into the Bok building in Philadelphia, designed by Scout Ltd., she marveled at how what was once a dilapidated school had been transformed by Scout Ltd. into a space for makers, small businesses, and nonprofits. It was exactly the kind of space that Providence needs, and that Scout Ltd. was supposed to help the city create at the Cranston Street Armory.
“After decades of work, this was supposed to be ‘it’,” Gazdacko said in a telephone interview. “Now it feels like we’re in limbo. It’s devastating.”

The Indian Navy has shortlisted the names of four Indian firms, namely, Tata, Adani, Mahindra Defence Systems and Bharat Forge, which would be its strategic partners for the project involving a deal worth almost Rs 25,000 crore for indigenous manufacturing of 111 Naval Utility Choppers.
At the beginning of the year, the defence ministry had invited private sector companies to participate in this multi-crore deal, which will be the first project to kick off under the strategic partnership (SP) policy under Modi’s ‘Make in India’ initiative.
“The four Indian firms will now need to partner with foreign original equipment manufacturers including European Airbus Helicopters which has offered two choppers, American Sikorsky-Lockheed Martin and Russian Rosoboronexport,” sources in the Navy told ANI.
The Navy will now approach the Defence Acquisition Council with the shortlisted names of both Indian and foreign manufacturers to get the approval from the government and take the process forward.
Indian Navy sources have also confirmed that a total of eight Indian companies had shown interest in becoming strategic partners, which included a public sector undertaking but only four have been shortlisted by the force which will use the new choppers to replace its fleet of Cheetah/Chetak helicopters.
In August last year, the Defence Acquisition Council (DAC) approved the procurement of 111 utility helicopters for the Indian Navy at a cost of over Rs 21,000 crore as the first under the SP model. “SP model envisages indigenous manufacturing of major defence platforms by an Indian strategic partner, who will collaborate with foreign OEM, acquire niche technologies and set up production facilities in the country,” the ministry had announced.
Under the plan, the first 16 helicopters have to be delivered from the OEM’s overseas production facility and the remaining 95 helicopters are to be manufactured in India by the selected strategic partner.

You must have heard from many people the phrase “this dress does not suit you” throughout the years of your life. Not only dresses, sometimes they pick at your jewelry choice or what footwear you have picked. It gets exhausting to always hear the same thing over and over again. This also happens with tall dresses for they are a type of connoisseur pick for the ladies of the world. If you want an elegant choice for your evening out or are going to prom, simply go for a tall dress. But sometimes it is not that easy for many women. Some keep thinking about how they will look like in the dress. The models pictured sporting the tall dresses look fabulous of course but not every lady has the assets of those models. That may not affect some women but for others such news may come as a cloud of gloom for them.
Well, the thing is fashion has no limits and the aforementioned “rules” were probably created by someone who had no idea about the versatility of women’s bodies. If you have wide hips and a small bust, you are unique. If you have narrow hips and a small bust, that is also a type of uniqueness. So, tall dresses or skirts, skinny pants or shorts…whatever you want to wear, it will look good if you love it and feel confident in it.
And lucky for you, tall dresses come in a huge many amount of variations. From necklines to strap and sleeve choices you have everything you need with these dresses. And do not let anyone make you think that the dress you love and the one you chose is not good enough for you. Confidence is key, and if you have the key you can unlock all the doors you want and lock those that are of no use.

Hey there, fellow photography enthusiasts! Today, we’re going to dive into some wicked beginner tips for capturing the magic of winter and snow through your lens. So grab your cameras, strap on your boots, and let’s get ready to freeze some unforgettable moments!
1. Embrace the Chill
Alright, you know it’s going to be cold out there, but don’t let that stop you when you want to capture that winter landscape! Embrace the chill in the air and use it to add an extra element of intensity to your shots. Just like Gary V always says, embrace the suck and make it work for you!
2. Protect Your Gear
Winter weather can be harsh, so make sure you protect your precious camera gear. Invest in a good protective case or bag for your camera and lens, and don’t forget to bring along lens covers, a dry cloth for fighting condensation where possible, cleaning equipment, and spare batteries (batteries don’t have their usual range when it’s freezing) when going out for your winter photo. After all, taking care of your tools is essential for success.
3. Dress for the Arctic
Dressing appropriately is key when venturing out into the snow-covered winter wonderland. Layer up like a pro and make sure you’re warm enough to be out there for extended periods. You don’t want frostbite to ruin your creative process!
4. Find the Golden Hour
Just like finding success in business, timing is everything in winter photography. Seek out the golden hour – that magical time shortly after sunrise or before sunset – when the sun rises, or lowers, and the soft light kisses the snowy landscape. Trust us, it’s worth waking up early or staying out late for these incredible shots, and lucky you, in wintertime you normally don’t need to go for the extreme hours to see the sunrise and the sunset.
5. Capture the Snowflakes
Immerse yourself in the beauty of individual snowflakes falling from the sky. Macro lenses can reveal the intricate details of these delicate wonders, making for breathtaking shots that would make Gary V do a happy dance.
6. Experiment with Exposure Compensation
When shooting snowy scenes, your camera’s metering system might get a little confused. So take control and experiment with exposure compensation. Overexposing slightly will ensure those whites are crisp and clean. Remember, it’s all about adapting and adjusting to get the best results.
7. Play with Contrasts
Snowy landscapes offer a brilliant opportunity to play with contrasts. Look for dark objects or subjects against the white backdrop – they’ll pop in your photos. It’s like finding that perfect balance between business and pleasure, just as Mark Manson and Gary V would advise.
8. Shoot in RAW
If there’s one thing most photographers of different styles would agree on, it’s shooting in RAW. It gives you greater flexibility to adjust the white balance and exposure during post-processing. So don’t limit yourself and go all in!
9. Don’t Fear Manual Mode
Embrace your inner control freak and switch to manual mode. By taking charge of the exposure triangle – aperture, shutter speed, and ISO – you can create the precise mood and atmosphere you envision. Trust yourself and your skills, and don’t be afraid to take risks!
10. Lead the Eye with Footprints
Footprints in the snow can add depth and lead the viewer’s eye through the frame. Take advantage of this natural pathway and compose your shots with intention. Remember, leaving your mark on the world is how you make an impact, both in life and photography.
11. Use a Polarizing Filter
Give your photos that extra punch by using a polarizing filter. It’ll help reduce glare from snow and ice while enhancing colors and contrast. It’s like adding that final touch to your work – elevating it to the next level!
12. Incorporate Architecture
Adding architectural elements to your winter shots can create a striking juxtaposition between man-made structures and the pristine snowy landscape. Look out for those cozy cabins or beautiful bridges to add some extra visual interest. It’s all about finding those unexpected angles, just like Mark Manson would do.
13. Experiment with Silhouettes
Silhouettes against a wintery backdrop can evoke a sense of mystery and drama in your photographs. Play around with different angles, poses, and subjects to create that captivating visual storytelling effect. Remember, it’s the unexpected shots that stand out from the crowd.
14. Explore Macro Photography
Don’t limit yourself to wide-angle shots only; macro photography is a whole new world waiting to be explored. Get up close and personal with winter textures, frozen objects, or even snowflakes. The details you’ll capture will blow your mind and make your audience go WOW!
15. Enjoy the Process
Last but not least, remember why you picked up that camera in the first place – because you love capturing moments and freezing them forever. So enjoy the process, embrace the challenges that winter photography throws at you, and let your passion shine through each and every shot. That’s what both Mark Manson and Gary V would tell you – it’s all about finding joy in what you do.
So there you have it, folks – 15 tips for winter and snow photography. Now get out there, have fun, and capture some epic shots that will leave everyone speechless!

[ Patch 1 of 3 today ]
- I have rewritten the engine for creating runewords to allow for a lot more flexibility and expansion
- There is a new runeword at the compost vendor that allows you to place a randomly shaped crystal-slot on any weapon.
- Runewords now have a better description
- Class runewords will be after launch. The recipes are still there (and work) but you can't obtain new ones.
- There are now a few generic all-weapon runewords. They are largely based off the old class runewords.
- The generic weapon runewords don't have special graphics or icons right now. I hope to get them in for launch.
- The new runewords (weapons and crystal-slot) will appear at the compost vendor after an in-game midnight refresh.
- I have adjusted the new ancient item buff icons to be better, but not final.
- I have added a 'map_transparency' to the config. This is a value between 1 and 255 and set the transparency level when the map is overlaying the world.
- Corned beef has an icon instead of 'WIP'
- I was in the middle of the runeword engine rewrite when I patched on Monday and broke weapon runewords, but they are fixed.
- I fixed a bunch of the formatting on the new ancient item text. Most descriptions were too long for one line.
- Fixed a bug which would prevent invasions if you built a line of blocks up near the clouds
- Crafting components were not updating properly when buying stacked items from a vendor, but it is fixed.
- When you removed a building, the automap was not updating properly, but it is fixed.
Patch notes for EAv0.05.24b
[ Patch 2 of 3 today ]
- The new runeword which adds a socket to a weapon wasn't working with already upgraded runeword weapons but it is fixed.
- I accidentally broke stack count display as I was getting it ready for UI scaling, but it is fixed.
Patch notes for EAv0.05.24c
[ Patch 3 of 3 ]
- There was a problem with making Cosmic runewords, but it is fixed.
- You couldn't make cosmic or aspire rings, but that is fixed as well.

This article explains untreated hearing loss in older adults and how it goes undetected. It also explains the impact it has on an individual, the benefits, and the results of the treatment. Incidence of hearing loss, increase with age. Approximately one third of Americans between the ages of sixty five and seventy four and nearly half of those over the age of seventy five have hearing loss.
There can be a lot of contributing factors in hearing loss, Including age, genetics noise exposure and chronic disease.
Because it is a slow progression usually a spouse or significant other is usually more frustrated than the individual experiencing it. The impact of hearing loss is not measured in decibels. It is an individual experience each individual copes in many different ways. Hearing loss has been linked to depression, anxiety, frustration, social isolation, and fatigue.
Hearing aid treatment can decrease social/emotional, communication and cognitive function. Individuals who do not wear hearing aids have increased depression.
A recent study from Dr. Franklin and colleagues at Johns Hopkins University found a link between degree of hearing loss and the risk for developing dementia. Hearing loss is an indivisible handicap. Although it is increasingly prevalent with age, hearing loss is often ignored. Treating hearing loss has great benefits. Research has shown improved quality of life by treating hearing loss in older population.
The impact of untreated hearing loss cannot be ignored early and careful evaluation and treatment show great promise in mitigating the consequences of hearing loss on long term health and quality of life. In this article we have learned how untreated hearing loss may affect an individual. That hearing loss increases with age and can go undetected for some time. How untreated hearing loss can lead to depression, anxiety, frustration, social isolation, and fatigue. And the benefits of treating it at an early stage.

Last fall, TU’s shuttles provided more than 200,000 rides and the campus carpooling program saved staff more than $2,000. Kenny West, Administration and Finance Manager for Parking and Transportation Services, has been a driving force behind improving the safety and efficiency of these types of programs.
Kenny’s passion for transportation developed during his freshman year in college at the University of Maryland College Park. Kenny took a part-time job driving for the school’s transportation department and enjoyed the department’s work. Following his graduation with a Bachelor’s degree in criminology/criminal justice, he decided to stay in the field and took a job at TU as the Operations Manager for Parking and Transportation Services. As the office grew, he was transitioned to his current position.
In his current role, Kenny takes care of general finances such as invoicing, major acquisitions and contracts, and also develops policies and manages written citations. He assists in organizing alternative transportation systems such as para-transit and MTA Transit as well as roadside assistance and carpooling programs when necessary. He also manages the costs and legal obligations associated with parking permits, citations and school-wide transportation requests.
“The most recent project that I’ve taken on is the virtual parking permit,” Kenny said. “Over the past several months it has become my pride and joy.”
Kenny and his colleagues from multiple campus departments worked to bring the virtual parking permit system to campus this May. The system, which goes into effect this August, uses license plate reader (LPR) technology to enforce permits, eliminating the need for costly print permits and reducing enforcement time. The system also allows students to charge their Bursar’s account for parking permits, something students have long requested. Kenny and his staff worked intently to compile the policies, rates and registration processes related to the new permit system and meet the students’ needs.
“I find it motivating to see a resulting product from long hours of hard work. Take the virtual parking pass for instance; these services came about because of team work and a drive to better accommodate students and make a difference on campus,” Kenny said.
For more information on the virtual parking pass, go here.


Main Source of Water for drinking and for other domestic use
Main source of drinking water
The availability of and accessibility of goAod source of drinking water is an important aspect of the health of household members. The UN Millennium Development Goal (MDG) Seven aimed to reduce by half the proportion of people without sustainable access to safe drinking water by 2015 based on 1990 levels.
Water sources are often classified as ‘improved’ or ‘unimproved’: Sources considered as improved are piped public water into homes, public standpipe, borehole, protected (lined) dug well, protected spring, and rainwater collection; unimproved are unprotected wells and springs, vendors, and tanker-trucks (WHO and UNICEF, 2000). The main source of drinking water in the district is presented in Table 8.9.
Household drinking water obtained from the two main source of drinking water are as sources as follows: borehole/pump/tube well (42.5%) and river/stream (38.2%). Again this is to be expected especially given the inland nature of the district. Bottled water and unprotected spring recorded the least sources of drinking water in households.
The situation is not different in urban centers as it is in the entire district. Borehole/pump/tube well (35.5%)and river/stream(37.1%) constitute the main sources of drinking water of the dwelling units with bottled water(0.1%) and unprotected spring (0.1%)recording the least.
The major source of drinking water for rural households is bore hole/pump/tube well (44.9%) followed by the river or the stream as shown figure 8.3. Close to one-fourth (37.1%) of households used the river or the stream as their main source of drinking water.
Sources of water for domestic use
The source of water for domestic use was similar to drinking water with the exception of sachet and bottled water. The use of river/stream for other domestic purposes was still high for the two localities; urban (39.3%) and rural (40.3%). Public tap/standpipe provided source of water for other domestic purposes was dominant in the urban (12.9%) than rural (4.9%).
Bathing and Toilet Facilities
The distribution of households by type of toilet and bathing facilities according to place of residence and is district presented in this section.
Toilet facilities use by Households
Table 8.10 presents the distribution of households by type of toilet facilities in the District. Close to half of the total households (44.2%) with no facility (bush/beach). About two out of ten (23.7%) of the households were reported to be using public toilets, whiles 22.5 percent use pit latrine.
There exist disparities in the use of toilet facilities in the urban and rural localities. Unsurprisingly, more rural households still use the “free-range” system, no toilet facility (52.3%) more than the urban (21.0%).
With regard to the use of KVIP, close to one-fifth (17.1%) of households in urban areas use the facilities whereas less than one –tenth (6.1%) of rural households use the facility (5.8%) as compared to urban households of 2.7 percent.
8.8.2 Bathing facility used by households
There were clear differences between households in rural-urban localities and the types of bathing facilities used. Almost 30 percent (29.4%) of households in urban localities share separate bathrooms in the same house as compared to 12.6 percent of households in rural areas. There were relatively more households in rural areas (35.4%) that had their own bathrooms for exclusive use as compare to the proportion of urban households (23.6%). 57
Households in rural localities who use open space around house are 26.2 percent whilst 102 percent of urban households use similar facility.
Method of Waste disposal
Waste and its management is arguably the most crucial environmental challenge facing Ghanaian communities and therefore the need for sustainable waste management approaches cannot be overemphasized.
Method of Solid Waste
Table 8.11 shows the methods by which rubbish or solid and liquid waste is disposed by households in the District.
Thirty percent of households in the District use the public dump (open space) to dispose of their solid waste. Dumping indiscriminately as a method of waste disposal was used by 25.1 percent of households whilst about 15.8 percent of households use the public dump (container).

A low frequency (0.5 - 2.5 Mhz) acoustic microscope is used to generate and detect surface waves in isotropic and anisotropic solids. In this microscope one transducer with a cylindrical concave front face produces a line focused ultrasonic beam which strikes the specimen at any desired angle. The reflected beam is received by another transducer. When the incident angle of the striking beam becomes equal to the critical angle of the reflector, surface waves are generated otherwise the beam is specularly reflected without generating any surface wave. It is shown in this paper that by measuring the change in the arrival time as the distance between the reflecting surface and the transducer changes one can predict if the surface waves have been generated or not. Experiments are carried out with copper and aluminum blocks and graphite-epoxy (graphite fibers in epoxy matrix) composite plate. It is found that it is easier to generate and detect surface waves in isotropic metallic blocks where Rayleigh waves are nondispersive than anisotropic graphite epoxy composite plate where Lamb waves are dispersive.

Experts have predicted that onion prices in India will remain depressed until mid-March. This is due to the fact that the supply of onions has been affected by the recent floods in Maharashtra and Karnataka.
The floods have caused a shortage of onions in the market, leading to a sharp rise in prices. According to the National Horticulture Board, the average wholesale price of onions in the country has increased by more than 50% since the beginning of the year.
The situation is expected to remain the same until mid-March, when the new crop of onions is expected to arrive in the market. The new crop is expected to bring some relief to the market, as it will increase the supply of onions and bring down the prices.
However, experts have warned that the prices may not come down significantly, as the demand for onions is still high. The demand is expected to remain high until the end of the summer season, when the prices are expected to come down.
In the meantime, the government has taken several measures to control the prices of onions. It has imposed a ban on the export of onions and has also imposed a minimum export price. The government has also increased the import duty on onions to discourage imports.
The government has also asked the states to take steps to ensure that the prices of onions remain stable. The states have been asked to take steps to ensure that the supply of onions is not disrupted and that the prices remain stable.
Experts have also suggested that the government should take steps to increase the production of onions in the country. This will help to increase the supply of onions and bring down the prices.
Overall, experts have predicted that the prices of onions will remain depressed until mid-March. The government has taken several measures to control the prices, but it remains to be seen if these measures will be effective in bringing down the prices.

Find Falcon Sports Camps in Colorado Springs, Colorado 2022
Thank you for considering the Colorado Springs Falcon Hockey Camp! Hockey is a very physical, emotional, and technical sport. A hockey player needs to be skilled in a number of different areas in order to play the game proficiently. Because of this, the road to becoming a hockey player can be challenging and frustrating at times. However, once a player has reached a certain level of proficiency, there is no sport that is more enjoyable and rewarding.
In today's world, athletes are beginning to specialize at an earlier age. This is especially true with hockey players and is primarily due to the skating aspect of the game. A hockey player must be able to skate in order to play the game proficiently. Because of this, many aspiring hockey players attend summer camps to either "elevate" their present game or attempt to "catch up" if they have taken the game up at a later age. Skating is like any other skill in that it can be taught and developed, however, many club and/or school programs do not provide the time and/or opportunity to learn and perfect techniques to a high level of proficiency. This is why specialized training and attendance at summer camps is so important.

The C677T MTHFR polymorphism has been associated with lumbar spine and hip BMD. In older adults, the genetic effect has been reported in women only. However, in younger adults, this influence may only be present in men. This study is the first to investigate associations between the C677T MTHFR polymorphism and bone phenotypes in children. Regression analyses were used to study the relationship between MTHFR genotype and bone phenotypes derived from total body DXA scans in children 9.9 yr of age from the Avon Longitudinal Study of Parents and Children (ALSPAC). A total of 5816 children had both genetic and DXA data for the total body less head region (TBLH) and 3196 for the spine. A strong association was observed between the C677T MTHFR genotype and spine BMD (p <0.001; 0.10 SD decrease per T allele). There was some evidence that this genetic effect was stronger in boys compared with girls (p = 0.04 for sex interaction). In contrast, there was no association between the C677T MTHFR genotype and TBLH BMD. The association between MTHFR genotype and spine BMD was attenuated particularly in girls by high maternal dietary intakes of vitamin B6 and folate during pregnancy but not by child dietary intakes at 7 yr. To the extent that these findings reflect known influences of C677T MTHFR genotype on plasma homocysteine levels, our results suggest that the latter is an important regulator of spinal BMD in childhood.

Iran's legislators will mostly likely ask the government in coming weeks to review Iran's membership in the nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty, Fars News Agency quoted member of the Iranian parliament Sirous Borna a saying on Wednesday.
"The Islamic Consultative Assembly (parliament) is expected to exert serious pressure on the government in the next few weeks to study Iran's withdrawal from the NPT," Borna said.
The time has arrived for the Iranian authorities to launch a basic revision over Iran's continued cooperation with the treaty specially after the recent report by the Director of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) in which he raised baseless claims against Iran's peaceful nuclear program.
Borna dismissed Yukiya Amano's recent report on Iran as "political and biased", and added that the agency has shifted its course of action from an expert study of Iran's nuclear program to political work.
The remarks by the Iranian MP came after Amano released a report on Iran last Tuesday.
The Iranian parliament's National Security and Foreign Policy Commission is already due to study a review of Tehran's cooperation with the IAEA.
Earlier, the commission chairman, Alaeddin Boroujerdi, told FNA that his commission would start discussions over the issue in the near future.

Current NFL Comeback Player Of The Year Odds
Damar Hamlin Comeback Player of the Year Odds
Buffalo Bills safety Damar Hamlin collapsed on the field after making what appeared to be a routine tackle against the Cincinnati Bengals on Monday Night Football in January 2023. He suffered a cardiac arrest and was administered CPR while teammates, opponents, and spectators held their breath, waiting for a sign that Hamlin would be okay.
The game was canceled due to the uncertain health status of Damar. Hamlin has returned to the Bills this season, and the positive reaction to his insertion into the lineup has many expecting him to win the 2024 NFL CPOY Award. Current Damar Hamlin odds place him at the top of the boards, well ahead of second place, making him a near-certain favorite to win the NFL's Comeback Player of the Year in 2024.
How To Bet On NFL Comeback Player Of The Year
As soon as the NFL Comeback Player of the Year Award is given out, sportsbooks will then create betting odds for the following year’s ceremony. These prop bets will resemble NFL futures in that they will include a list of all potential winning players and incorporate odds next to their names.
Gamblers can bet on NFL moneyline odds for each player listed. These bets can be placed at any time before the award is given out, but payouts can only happen once the NFL CPOY is announced in February. Eligible NFL players will be listed in order of first to worst in regard to their betting odds.
While not common, there are often NFL prop bets that can arise that take action on the winning position, whether the player will be an offensive or defensive player, or any other outcome directly tied to the award. Here's an example of an NFLC CPOY prop bet.
2023 NFL CPOY Odds For Winner’s Position
- Quarterback –220
- Wide Receiver +200
- Defensive End +250
- Any Other Position +550

Our favorite sportsbooks exist offshore and can be accessed on mobile devices through web browser apps like Opera, Safari, Google, Chrome, and more. No download is required because these online sportsbooks prefer web-based use for quick access to the latest NFL odds and lines.
Gamblers can click on any link we've included here using a current smartphone or tablet and place an NFL bet remotely. These options behave like their downloadable counterparts and utilize touchscreen controls for app-like performance.
Live Betting ON NFL CPOY Odds
Live NFL betting has increased in popularity recently because it allows for wagers to be placed while games are ongoing. When it comes to betting on the NFL Comeback Player of the Year, there is no game, but there are live betting odds to wager on.
NFL props are available in the preseason and posted online throughout the year. That places NFL CPOY props in the spectrum of live betting because the action remains open while the competition is in play and remains on the boards until the award is given out at NFL Honors in February.
Making NFL Sportsbook Deposits And Getting Paid
The online sportsbooks included in our best-of list accept a wide range of deposit options, including US dollar methods and cryptocurrency. Credit cards, debit cards, and bank wires are common ways USD can be uploaded to accounts.
Cryptocurrency is popular because of its quick and secure withdrawals without any attached fees in most cases. Bitcoin is the most common method accepted across our top books, but Tether, Ethereum, and other popular altcoins are also available for deposit and withdrawal.
Sportsbook voucher trading is also a quick and convenient way to get paid or make a deposit using whatever payment method the seller and buyer agree upon. Third-party services like MatchPay oversee voucher trading and assist in making faster pairings between parties.
NFL Sportsbook Promo Codes
Each time a deposit is made at any of the sportsbooks we promote in this guide, sports betting bonuses are available to take advantage of. These optional promotions can be accepted when depositing into your account and are based on a percentage of the transaction total.
For instance, a 100% sportsbook bonus worth up to $1,000 on a $1,000 deposit can be accepted. You don’t have to take the max offer either. Using the prior example, users could deposit $250 and gain an additional $250 in bonus cash.
Members are under no obligation to accept a sportsbook bonus. Read the terms before accepting a sportsbook bonus offer to make sure you can meet them. These conditions often require playthrough before withdrawals can be made.

Background: Delayed chest closure (DCC) may be used after bilateral lung transplantation when significant bleeding/coagulopathy or severe pulmonary edema exists. Primary chest closure (PCC) in these patients can lead to heart and lung compression causing cardiopulmonary instability. The purpose of this study is to describe factors associated with DCC and evaluate outcomes after DCC. Methods: We performed a retrospective review of all patients undergoing bilateral lung transplantation between September 2003 and March 2005. Statistical significance was determined by two-tailed t test or Fisher's exact test. Results: Twenty-eight bilateral lung transplantations were performed. Indication for transplant was chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (13), pulmonary fibrosis (5), cystic fibrosis (5), sarcoidosis (3), and pulmonary hypertension (1). Seven patients (25%) required DCC. Mean time to DCC was 5.3 days. Six patients (86%) with DCC required tracheostomy versus 4 patients (20%) with PCC (p = 0.003). Mean days to discharge was 44 in the DCC group and 21 in the PCC group (p = 0.03). Thirty-day survival was 100% in the DCC group and 95% in the PCC group (p = 1.0). There were no wound infections in either group, and 1 patient in the PCC group had sternal nonunion. Delayed chest closure was associated with cardiopulmonary bypass use (p = 0.006), cardiopulmonary bypass time longer than mean cardiopulmonary bypass time (mean, 224 minutes; p = 0.04), PaO2/FiO2 less than mean + 1 SD (value = 4.63, p = 0.0002), evidence of moderate/severe reperfusion injury on chest radiograph (p = 0.0002), and PaO2/FiO2 less than mean plus moderate/severe reperfusion injury on chest radiograph (p = 0.002). Conclusions: Cardiopulmonary bypass use, prolonged cardiopulmonary bypass time, and significant reperfusion injury, as determined by chest radiograph and a low PaO2/FiO2 ratio were all associated with an increased incidence of DCC in our bilateral lung transplantation patients. These patients had no wound infections or sternal complications, and although they had longer hospital stays than PCC patients, DCC did not affect operative survival. Delayed chest closure can be employed safely, when necessary, after bilateral lung transplantation with outcomes similar to patients with PCC.
