"In a previous post, I suggested that you could turn some of the most outstanding comments on your blog into full-fledged posts. The idea is that turning outstanding comments on your blog to full-fledged posts will open up the comments for more visibility, further discussion and more impact and penetration. To show that I have already walked the talk, please allow me to briefly share 5 of my readers' comments that were turned into full-blown posts on this blog. (Clicking on the highlighted titles will lead you to the full version of the post). This particular post captured the true-life story of one of my blog readers who experienced racial discrimination in Southern Africa. It was her personal response to an earlier post of mine, namely Racism in the US Vs tribalism in Nigeria. \"Discrimination is something that really pricks me because I have experienced it. For the life of me, I just cannot understand why people choose to look down on other people because of intangible attributes/features. \"The funny thing is that you don't have to go as far as America to witness and feel the effect of racism. Come down to the southern part of Africa, you would see and feel it yourself. It's more transparent in South Africa and Namibia than in other Southern African countries.\" \"…Being prejudiced comes in many forms and it isn't just restricted to those who have a different skin-colour – although that is one of the more obvious forms. …All of us are prejudiced in some ways; it could be education, upbringing, intelligence, success or failure and a host of other \"particulars\". \"We all are creations of our Creator, made in His image and we [are in] error if we think otherwise. And most importantly, we all need the saving Grace that God in His wisdom holds over to us, namely the acceptance and saving shed blood of His Son, Jesus Christ, to make us new.\"",
"This post captured some of the most interesting conversations I have had with some atheists on this blog. One of them claimed nature has helped his understanding of life more than the 'man in the sky.\" But he would not acknowledge that the man in the sky, so-called, is the Architect of the Universe, the One whom it was that put the natural world in place. \"God is out of touch with the world\" claimed another so-called atheist. To that I responded, \"It is even more appropriate to say that it is the people of the world that are losing touch of God. All men, including you, need to get know God better.\" How can someone who doesn't exist lose touch? Yet another self-professed atheist got carried away during one of our conversations and he kept saying, God is wicked, God doesn't love humans, God enjoys to see people suffer, etc. Really? I couldn't hold back asking him, \"How can the God you say doesn't exist be wicked and loveless? All these led me to surmise that many atheists are living in self-denial when they say that God doesn't exist, because deep in their hearts they know that they are wrong. In this post, I shared the comment of a reader, who in a very frank manner, identified with the pervasive personal struggle against lust and pornography, as well as the ways to overcome them. According to this reader, we must all understand that pornography has harmful effects on our lives, careers and family. Therefore, it should not be accepted as a normal thing in our daily living. Worthy of mention, is the readers suggestions that \"we need to spend quality time with GOD every day, not as a to-do-list or a good christian checklist. But because God wants a relationship with us, and how do we have a relationship with anyone we never spend time with?\"",
"As one author observed, \"If you are leading anything of significance then you will regularly run into many uncertainties, obstacles, and failures. And it is the way you deal with these situations, how you handle things going wrong, that truly defines your leadership.\" \"This approach doesn't preclude a leader from holding people accountable for their actions. In fact, it is the opposite. If you don't hold people accountable then you aren't really being a loving leader.\" Online asian adult dating allows students, Couples and groups to meet online to build up the social, Romantic or sexual partnership.

Will they accept what He offers in Love and what we do too, most don't but we have done what God has asked us to do and this will bring His Peace and Joy and His assurance of our Fellowship with Him just as all obedience to Him does and it also shows when we obey Him that we Love and Trust Him too, yes He is indeed our God of Love… He Loved us first even knowing that our Sin would cause Jesus His much Loved Son, to suffer and die so we could be set free and be in Eternal Fellowship with Him.",

"For the second infusion, you should use a slightly higher temperature of water and steep for a shorter time compared to the first infusion. Wait for about 30 to 60 seconds before pouring into cups."

"Did you know that the same green tea leaves can be steeped for more than one time? Steeping the green tea leaves for the second time is known as the second infusion. In Japanese it is called nisenme (nisen-me 二煎目) for the 2nd infusion and sansenme (sansen-me三煎目) for the 3rd infusion. Resteeping is slightly different than your first infusion of tea. Unlike other tea types, green tea leaves only have limited infusions, max three or four. However, it is not quite easy to get the perfect cup on every infusion because you need to be careful about the water temperature and steeping. Do not try to use hot boiling water and longer steeping time to make leaves infuse all at one time. Because tea made like this will be very bitter with strong astringency to the point that it will be unpleasant. It is due to the fact; different compounds infuse in the water at different temperatures to create a balance and good flavor. Therefore, it is important to have different infusions to get the best flavor and nutrients out of green tea. After the 1st infusion, the leaves still have compounds left, which creates barely any flavor, but it is fun to try mild and low notes flavor. The second infusion is not like 1st or 3rd steeping because it has a controlled temperature steeping time different from others. When you first brew tea, it is for a longer time because tea leaves are dry and take time to infuse. But it is not the same second time because tea leaves are warmed up and unrolled from first steeping and just need a little time to extract some more flavors. While we are waiting for a second infusion, the leaves continue to release flavor, and therefore resteeping is for a shorter time but with a bit higher temperature of the water. You only need a little time for a second infusion, so when you pour water over tea leaves, wait for 30 or 60 seconds and then pour into cups.",
"Nevertheless, some people have different opinions, such as that leaves release more flavors when brewing longer. Here is an interesting fact, with each additional steeping time, you get a different flavor, and therefore it is good to experiment to get the best taste suited for you. What things to keep in mind while infusing for the second time?Keep the same amount of leaves and water for a second infusion. Also, control the water temperature and steeping time. When brewing in a teapot, make sure to serve every last drop of each infusion. It is because if some left from the first infusion and you do the second infusion, it will mix up and alter the results.Health benefits in the second infusion Many people wonder if there are health benefits in the second infusion, and they are right to think about it. Second and later infusions are mainly for taste and quality rather than its benefits. However, it does not imply that it does not have any effect on health. According to a study, the caffeine content in first infused tea is 68%, and later it decreases to 23%. It is due to the fact that 70% of tea leaves content dissolves in water in the first brewing, while for later, only 20% remains. The catechins and polyphenols dissolve in water slowly compared to caffeine, resulting in more content in later infusions than the first brewed tea. Therefore, it shows that later infusions also have healthy substances and are not regarded as useless. It was mentioned that the standard practice in Japan is to do a 2nd infusion of the tea. I've seen other places on the internet where it is mentioned that green tea can be steeped usually up to 3 times, or even more (depending on the quality of the tea), and this is common practice in Japan. Would 2 infusions only be good for lower quality teas, or \"non\"-green teas? Our Answer:You can do 3rd and 4th infusions with any tea in my opinion. If the flavor comes out on 3rd/4th infusion is probably not related to the quality of the tea; rather type of tea.",

"Business angels are individuals with money to invest in up-and-coming businesses. They can offer not only financial support but also contacts, experience, and opportunities. It's important to choose an angel investor with whom you have a good relationship, as their investment is often more personal and based on genuine interest in your startup."

"We're entering a phase in our economy now where startups are an increasingly popular option. As the digital world opens up new opportunities for anyone to go into business, startups are launching at record rates. Getting startup funding is probably one of the most crucial elements to its success. Given that half of all UK startups fail within the first five years it's not something that can be overlooked. But what are your options if you have an idea that you want to sow, germinate and grow? This is an increasingly popular way to get investment to help boost cashflow and take a business to the next level. There are a number of different crowdfunding options out there and their offerings differ. You can choose a platform that gives your crowdfunders some kind of reward or incentive to invest (e.g. a personalised or exclusive product) or one where individuals buy equity in the business. Equity is essentially a share of the business. Normally, to use an equity model you will need to have a startup that is a company limited by shares (Ltd company). The more shares you give away, the more control you potentially hand over to the crowdfunding investors. However, the equity model of startup funding also has a benefit as the more successful your business is, the more the shares are worth, and so people may be more willing to invest. Crowdcube, Seedrs and Kickstarter are three of the most popular crowdfunding platforms. Incubators are designed to help startups grow through a combination of startup funding and advice. They offer a more involved approach – you won't just be getting the cash but guidance too. This works well for some startups but can feel like a hindrance to others, depending on what you're looking to achieve. It's worth bearing in mind that many incubators are created by established national or multinational businesses. Their aim is to make sure that they are in at the forefront of cutting edge products or tech. This could mean that the cash comes with conditions of sharing or ownership that some startups may not be comfortable with.",
"Business angels are the real world equivalent of the investors on Dragons Den. Effectively, they are individuals with money to spend that they want to invest into up and coming businesses. Angels may be able to offer contacts, experience and open doors to new opportunities. If you're considering working with an Angel then it's important to choose someone you have a good relationship with. Angel cash as startup funding is more personal than an investment from a relatively anonymous source and most Angel investors will choose startups that they are genuinely interested in. If you have a business that looks like it might be able to offer a fast and large return on investment then VCs are a good option. VCs tend to put money into a business based on numbers and will take a share of equity to secure it. So, if your business plan shows that you will be able to generate profit relatively quickly (3-5 years max) your startup may appeal to VCs. This type of investor deals in larger numbers – few VCs will invest less than £500,000. It's worth bearing in mind that VCs will want control so that they can protect their investment. So, they may put someone on your board of directors and will want regular updates. They may even require a say in high level business decisions, which they may be entitled to depending on what percentage of shares (equity) you have handed over in return for their cash. Especially in the early stages of a startup, loans and debt are the more traditional approach. Friends and family, your own savings and mortgages on properties are often the way that startups get off the ground. Personal loans and credit cards, as well as payday loans, are all part of the debt landscape that entrepreneurs have used to help generate cashflow for those crucial early years. Peer to peer lending is another option – this is essentially a way of matching individuals who want to lend with those who want to borrow. Peer to peer lending can be faster and cheaper than traditional banks. Some may set a minimum amount that can be borrowed, others don't. Most peer to peer lending is accessed via a website and is easily searchable online.",

"If you don't talk to a doctor, you won't know if your panic attacks have physical or psychological causes, which can make it harder to reduce your symptoms. It's important to know where to take action."
] |
[
"It's hard to know what to do after a panic attack. You're frightened, exhausted, and you wish the whole mess would just go away. If you just had your first panic attack, then you may be confused about what just happened. If you haven't spoken to your doctor about your panic attacks, then it's worth doing so. A good doctor can help you rule out any medical conditions or medication side effects that are creating or adding to your panic. If you don't talk to a doctor to rule out any medical conditions, then you won't know where your panic attacks are coming from. Specifically, you won't know if they have physical or psychological causes. Not knowing this makes it harder to reduce your panic symptoms because you won't know where to take action. For example, if a person knows they have a thyroid condition, then they can make the right choices to manage their condition and thereby manage their panic symptoms. On the other hand, if a person's panic is entirely stress-related, then it wouldn't be effective for them to go from doctor to doctor searching for medical solutions.1In fact, it could easily be unhelpful! \"The most destructive thing you can do when faced with panic attacks is to steadfastly believe that your physical discomfort means that you have a serious physical illness, despite continued professional reassurance to the contrary.\" Wilson, R. (2009). Don't Panic: Taking Control of Anxiety Attacks. Harper. p. 15 If your doctor tells you that no medical conditions are involved, and that your panic attacks are entirely stress-related or psychological, then you can focus your approach in that direction. A panic attack is an event in which a person has a rapid onset of intense fear, terror, and other uncomfortable panic symptoms. The body responds as if the person were in a life-threatening emergency. These changes happen very quickly, and the speed is part of what's so surprising and scary about the experience.",
"It's normal to be exhausted after a panic attack. Your body just went through an intense experience. Your heart beat quickly, your lungs worked hard, your muscles tensed, and your adrenal glands dumped a ton of adrenaline (a stress hormone) into your bloodstream. That's a ton of work! When a person brings their body/mind/nervous system from being over-sensitized back to its normal level, they restore balance. When you're at balance, you're more resilient to stress and less likely to have another panic attack. Talk to someone you trust. Panic attacks aren't something to be ashamed of. It's a lot more stressful to hold secrets than to be brave and vulnerable and share what's happening for you. Consider talking to someone who can really hear you. Oftentimes a friend is enough. The act of being heard can bring a surprising amount of relief. Therefore, as with a wildfire, it's important to contain the fear. If you contain the fear, then it can naturally dissipate with time. (On the other hand, if you add more fear on top of it, then there's a good chance it will continue to grow.) Don't avoid the place or trigger to your panic attack. When you feel ready, visit the place again. If you feel some anxiety, know that it's normal. Treat it as a chance to practice meeting your fear without falling into panic. As much as possible, accept the fear and anxiety symptoms. At the very least, don't fear and brace against them. Fearing anxiety can play a large role in anxiety disorders. Stay engaged in your life, relationships, work, and hobbies. Staying engaged keeps your attention engaged and ahead of you. If you disengage from activities, your attention can turn inwards as you anticipate and worry about having another panic attack. Correct any fear-inducing beliefs. For example, make sure that you really believe that panic attacks aren't dangerous. Speaking to a doctor to rule out any medical conditions can help bring confidence that they are safe.",
"\"What if I have another panic attack?\" Consider taking an attitude of, \"All the better to practice not getting caught up in it.\" Practice acceptance, exposure, mindfulness, and right attitude. Above all, don't resort to avoidance. Avoidance may give you immediate relief, but can backfire very quickly. Giving up places and activities to reduce anxiety is like making sacrifices to the angry god of panic—no sacrifice is enough, and more will always be demanded. I couldn't agree more with these two statements: \"Consider where you may be out of balance in your life. Panic attacks often happen during a time of heightened stress or major life transition.\" I see this happening in my client's lives often, even I have experienced such imbalances in my life. I appreciate the tips and will be sure to share them with my clients experiencing panic attacks, as well as, anxiety."

"Ralph Nader has also been mentioned as someone who uses the phrase."

[
"When you employ the phrase \"Moscow Mitch\" you stoop to absolutely gratuitous – I mean totally unnecessary and even inexplicably irrational – xenophobia and warmongering. I've also heard Ralph Nader do this. Beats the hell out of me what people like that are thinking. Nothing is worth stoking the flames of world war over. So please, please stop your use of the obliviously careless Moscow Mitch invective. That sort of thing is way beneath you, and you know it. Folks have fervently pleaded with Ralph to stop it, but the old guy won't listen to calm moral common sense on this one. It's heartbreaking, actually, since Ralph is Lebanese. There's not even a subtle point to explain here: Walks like a bigot… Ralph has done more for this country than you, and most politicians, combined. He and his team of attorneys created most of the consumer protection laws we take for granted today. Show some respect. I don't need you to critique my comments, especially to defend Moscow Mitch, who is a traitor to this country, and Trump's prime enabler. He deserves whatever bad names he gets called, and worse. Indeed, how the minority is winning the political debate but losing the cultural debate. Because most people, the majority, can't stand them and their imposing values which are much darker and are a result of the same process. another Centrist. The thing is the center is now way to the right when compared to 30 years ago. The fascism just keeps creeping up on you. Keep up with this and there comes a day when Fascists are seen as centrists. If you jam this through, that's why we'll need to pack the court when and if reigns of power can be democratically transferred anymore. One. Two. Three. Four. We could even pack some more!

"I do not concur with his definition of Nationalism. A collective of common ideas and values is not Nationalism.I do not think the left in Canada embraces multi-culturalism , ethnic diversity , workers rights, environmental protections , wealth equality health care for all because they are uniquely \"Canadian\" values. They would be equally as welcome seeing those values embraced in every other Country. It is not the Nation State called Canada that is important. It is the values that are embraced. I would be eager to see Canada import the ideas and values of many other nation states I deem progressive and moving beyond even those. This old commie, pinko, liberal thinks the CDer's are not looking at facts about Amy. Just various outrageous opinions where the writer does not bother to tell the reader that their story is 180 degrees from truth. College rape hearings. At Purdue, a fellow was accused by his former girlfreind of fondling her while she was asleep in his room after they broke up. He had reported her attempted suicide. Concern trolling? You have no concern about looking like a warmonger, or in fact contributing to an atmosphere of warmongering? What about innocent occupants of Moscow, who don't deserve to be nuked? My God. I thought you were for real, for awhile there. Now I know better. You won't even pretend to be human long enough to interact non-defensively. Soon you'll be flaming me for caring about Muscovites. It's a goddam shame – such a small request: basic international decency. You smell bad, you know that? Most suspiciously insincere and inapproachable. Oh well. It is not the Nation State called Canada that is important. It is the values that are embraced. I would be eager to see Canada import the ideas and values of many other nation states I deem progressive and moving beyond even those.",
"I, for one, would welcome, as music to my ears, any Canadians sounding the slightest bit open-minded about borders. You're right: To heck with all that nationalism business, who needs it? For one thing: I've never found an interesting or useful definition of \"nationalism\" or \"populism\" – the definitions I hear are non- definitions, signifying empty-headedness, so far as I can tell. And for another thing, of course, the whole world is burning down, blowing over, and sinking below the tides with no respect whatever for borders. The idea that the Climate Catastrophe will be a tame enough beast that we can retain our grip on antiquated notions such as national borders, while fighting to survive… It's a common notion which seems outlandish to me. Eventually borders have to go but not until these very important \"values\" are firmly fixed in our respective societies so as not to be eroded away in that melting of borders. I am also big on the concept of localized economies. By this I mean I do not think a Centralized bureaucracy in some far off City should be deciding what to do in some place 4000 miles away nor do I think Corporations or individuals should be able to buy up land and resources in some region 6000 miles away and then decide what to do with it. Your point about having no use for USA stupidity is well-taken. I've heard of some slight pockets of mask-resistance elsewhere, but nowhere else on Earth to the extravagantly ignorant standards of US Americans. (This is the primary piece of evidence for my extreme claim that US Americans are the stupidest people on Earth: our unique, incomprehensible mask controversy.) Incidentally, SDP, allow me to observe in passing that you are (almost) totally awesome. (Oh dear, now I'm slobbering all over the place.) You've long held yourself to a consistent standard of conversing intelligently online, for which I am sincerely, non-ironically grateful.",
"Schumer, Pelosi, Cuomo, the governors of Florida, Texas and georgia all share responsibility with president trump. Amy anger is a diversion to distract from the fact that we as american society did not act. I do hope Democrats find their stones and stall the hearings, votes of affirmation. But dems did not overcome Mark Meadows saying no to any more financial support to families in need. He is gonna be remembered as a very bad person, a Tandy."

"The processed signal is graphed for a visual representation of the smoke level. The level of smoke and the programmed specifics will determine what output signal is generated as an alert."

[
"When you have a fire emergency, you need as much warning as possible to protect lives and property from harm. The VESDA system is a “very early warning aspirating smoke detection” and is designed to alarm you to the danger as soon as possible. The VESDA air sampling fire detection system detects invisible by-products of materials as they degrade during the precombustion stages of a developing fire.\\n\\nBy actively and continuously sampling air, the system operates independently of air movements. Air samples are continuously drawn from the monitored environment, typically through a sampling pipe network with the aid of a high-efficiency aspirator. The air samples pass through a filter assembly to screen out large airborne dust particles before they reach the fire detector. Once inside the air-sampling detector, the samples are exposed to a high-intensity, broad-spectrum light source. The incident light scattered from smoke particles in the air sample passes through a series of optical components to a solid-state light receiver. The light is converted to an electronic signal and passed to the control system.\\n\\nAt the control module, the signal is processed and presented on a graph to visually indicate the level of smoke present in the monitored area. Depending upon smoke levels and the preprogrammed alarm levels, the appropriate output signals are generated. The first of three staged alarm levels (ALERT) may simply indicate that the system has detected something out of the ordinary that should be investigated. The second level (ACTION) indicates that a potential fire exists and that emergency procedures should begin. The third level (FIRE) signifies an actual fire condition.\\n\\nThe Laser Scanner Control Module provides a range of features in smoke detection systems. All of the features can be either manually programmed or automatically configured. All system functions are programmed via the simple 4-key keypad. This system protects up to 20,000 square feet which makes it an ideal choice for a number of industrial facilities.\\n\\nOther features include:\\n• Two-level security code protection of all features\\n• Push button selection of ALERT, ACTION, and FIRE levels\\n• Push button selection of delays for each alarm level (from 1-60 seconds)\\n• On-board sensitivity selection from 50% to 200% of nominally rated detector sensitivity (adjustable in 1% increments)\\n• Programmable outside fresh air reference subtraction\\n• Airflow and detector fault sensing with user-selected delay\\n• Instantaneous Fire feature. Instant progression to FIRE alarm in the event of an abnormally rapid smoke build-up. Any preset delays are overridden\\n• Day/Night alarm offsetting\\n• Comprehensive data logging facilities\\n\\nAir Sampling and Fire Suppression Systems\\nWhen combined with a special hazards fire suppression system such as FM-200, Inergen, FE-13, or Carbon Dioxide, an air sampling system can complement the extinguishing system by reducing the probability of an agent discharge. Early detection allows area personnel to investigate small fires and handle them without the need for a system discharge.\\n\\nAir Sampling High Sensitivity Fire Detection System Support\\nAssembling the right system for air sampling fire detection requires an expert. At Reliable Fire & Security, our fully trained staff will assist you in choosing the VESDA system that is right for your organization, prepare CAD drawings of your facility, and provide you with the data you need to feel confident in your choice of systems."

So while you're in the process of finding your dream wedding caterer, use this article, which gathered data from The Knot 2022 Real Weddings Study that surveyed nearly 12,000 newlyweds, to answer all your questions. Learn what's included in catering packages, what aspects impact the overall cost and how the average has changed over the years. READ MOREIn this article: Average Wedding Catering Cost So, how much does wedding catering cost? According to The Knot 2022 Real Weddings Study, the average price was $75 per person. There wasn't a big difference in the average cost when the wedding guest count came into play. For weddings with one to 50 and over 100 guests, the average catering cost was $80 per person. For weddings with 51 to 100 guests, the average was $70 per person. Many couples deem food (and more specifically, professional catering) a worthy expense. 61% of couples said food and beverage were the most important to them during the wedding planning process (that's why doing a menu tasting with your caterer is so essential). 74% of married couples wanted their guests to be taken care of and have a good time, so spending more on creating a memorable food and beverage experience helps achieve that goal.Find Wedding Caterers Near You",
"FEATURED VIDEO FROM THE KNOTWhat Is Included in the Wedding Catering Price? Numerous things can be included in a wedding catering package. Food, beverages (this could be alcoholic or non-alcoholic selections) and waitstaff are customary for just about every catering vendor. What's required of the waitstaff varies––they can be involved in setting up, tending the bar, clearing tables and much more. Whether or not you have menu tastings and a custom or fixed menu impacts the final price as well. Rentals, like dinnerware, tables and chairs, can be in the total wedding catering price too. Having staff help with a champagne toast or cake-cutting ceremony are typically add-ons. If you're wondering if vendor meals are in catering packages, the answer is yes. Usually, the catering company takes care of its staff, but other on-site vendors like the photographer, videographer and DJ will require a hot meal.You may also see additional fees on your catering package related to health and safety. Food safety has already been a priority for wedding caterers, but it's even more important in the wake of the COVID pandemic. Our study found that 46% of couples incorporated some kind of health modification because of COVID-19, but the requirement of wait staff and other on-site vendors to wear masks has decreased from 40% to 5%. Remember to take note of what you want out of your wedding food and beverage experience so that when you speak with your caterer, you'll be on the same page once the package is finalized.",

"Yes, with each concession, the state's absolute control over Albanian society weakened. This eventually led to the fall of several governments and the victory of the anticommunist opposition in the 1992 elections."
] |
[
"After Hoxha’s death in 1985, his handpicked successor, Ramiz Alia, sought to preserve the communist system while introducing gradual reforms in order to revive the economy, which had been declining steadily since the cessation of aid from former communist allies. To this end he legalized some investment in Albania by foreign firms and expanded diplomatic relations with the West. But, with the fall of communism in eastern Europe in 1989, various segments of Albanian society became politically active and began to agitate against the government. The most alienated groups were the intellectuals and the working class—traditionally the vanguard of a communist movement or organization—as well as Albania’s youth, which had been frustrated by years of confinement and restrictions. In response to these pressures, Alia granted Albanian citizens the right to travel abroad, curtailed the powers of the Sigurimi, restored religious freedom, and adopted some free-market measures for the economy. In December 1990 Alia endorsed the creation of independent political parties, thus signaling an end to the communists’ official monopoly of power. With each concession to the opposition, the state’s absolute control over Albanian society weakened. Continuing economic, social, and political instability led to the fall of several governments, and in March 1992 a decisive electoral victory was won by the anticommunist opposition, led by the Democratic Party. Alia resigned as president and was succeeded by Sali Berisha, the first democratic leader of Albania since Bishop Noli. Albania’s progress toward democratic reform enabled it to gain membership in the Conference on Security and Co-operation in Europe (now the Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe), formally bringing to an end its isolation. Efforts to establish a free-market economy caused severe dislocations, but they also opened the road for Albania to obtain large amounts of aid from developed countries. Albania thus began integrating its politics and institutions with the West, which Albanians have historically viewed as their cultural and geographic home.",
"In 1997 the economy collapsed when many Albanians lost their savings in various pyramid investment schemes. United Nations peacekeeping troops were brought in to quell the resulting civil disorder, and the Albanian Socialist Party won by a landslide in legislative elections later that year (and maintained power in elections in 2001 at the head of the Alliance for the State coalition). In 1999 some 450,000 ethnic Albanians sought refuge in Albania from the war in the Kosovo region of Serbia. Ethnic turmoil also strained Albania’s relations with the Macedonian republic in 2001, when that country’s large Albanian minority staged an armed rebellion. Tensions had cooled by 2003, and the two countries, along with Croatia, agreed to join together to fight organized crime. Power shifted back to the Democratic Party following the 2005 legislative elections, and former president Berisha was named prime minister. He worked to implement economic and social changes in order to gain membership in the European Union (EU) and the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO), including taking measures to lower Albania’s high rates of crime and deterring corruption and drug trafficking. In 2008 Albania was formally invited to join NATO, and on April 1, 2009, it became an official member of the alliance. Berisha remained prime minister following legislative elections that June, when the Democrats defeated the Socialists by a slim margin. The official results came almost one month after the polls had closed, because the Socialists had demanded a recount. Some international observers also stated that electoral irregularities had occurred. The Socialists responded by boycotting the parliament and organizing street protests against the Berisha government. In January 2011 a demonstration outside the prime minister’s office turned violent, and four protesters were shot and killed by guards. The ongoing tension between the government and the opposition undermined Albania’s attempts to obtain candidate status for succession to the EU. While Albania’s political class struggled to restore voter confidence and establish transparency in the country’s election procedures, a sluggish economy plagued Albania. Trading partners such as Italy and Greece were at the centre of the euro area’s debt crisis, and exports and foreign remittances suffered accordingly.",
"The campaign leading up to the June 2013 general election was largely peaceful and orderly, but it was marred by a shooting on election day that left a Democratic candidate wounded and a Socialist supporter dead. The results of that election signaled a dramatic change in the Albanian political order. The Socialists, led by former Tirana mayor Edi Rama, captured a sizable majority of seats in parliament, and Berisha, who had been the dominant figure in Albanian politics since the fall of communism, conceded defeat. In 2014 Albania was granted candidate status for accession to the EU, but the country’s progress toward full membership depended on the enactment of significant political and economic reforms. The coalition led by Rama’s Socialist Party triumphed in local elections in June 2015, winning 46 of 61 mayoral races. The event signaled a welcome turning point in the country’s postcommunist history, as it was largely free of the irregularities and violence that had marked previous elections."

"ok so i'm 24 years old and i know i have to take 4 years of pre-med, 4 years medical school and 3 year residency. now i have a full time job, i was reading online that i could \"MAYBE\" take pre-med classes online. that would be great for now, so i can do work online at around my schedule. Only for a lil while to get myself situated with money for when i have to go full time Medical. then later i'm planning to join the military when i have enough credits and get really great training BUT i'm not sure if they offer pedatrics. i haven't called a recruiter yet. Does anybody know about doing some online pre med classes? I will major in Biology. ANY advice on how i can succesfully get the career that i want? i accept that its going to be long, HARD, pracatically impossiable. BUT i just want to know if i can take online classes in the mean time, i want to starts doing somthing right now and not waste any time. i will of course go full time. i just needs this lil while to work and save for the future bills when i'm going to school full time and focusing on my studies. i have two kids and a supporting husband whos in the military. He's finishing up his degree and he's almost finished and will start to get a good job and put me through the school. again. 11 years, i kind of want to get started now, any ideas or recommendations for anybody that knows. probably most medical schools won't accept online premed courses????? its all confusing at this point. i've called some schools who can't don't understand what i want and tell me i got the wrong place. i e-mailed some advisors who haven't got back to me. i'm getting no answers",
"I would very strongly recommend not taking any of your required pre-med courses online. Frankly, I don't even see how it's going to be possible for the lab sciences. And if you decide to fill any of your gen ed requirements that way, then be very sure you do it through the online branch of a reputable brick-and-mortar school, not a for-profit college like the University of Phoenix. The latter will kill your chances at an advanced degree anywhere else. Really, though, if you're looking into avenues like the military, I'd just wait and see what they recommend. You'll only end up wasting more time in the long run if it turns out you can't use any of the classes or there's a better/cheaper way to get them taken care of. Im 23 in a couple of days and this sept im going to be doing GSCE english and Maths along with my A-level psychology. (<- I want to be a part time teacher in psychology and use the rest of the time helping kids ) I will take about the same time as yours. Im also doing mine online, with ics. I know this is all I need as Im over 21. I would talk to your advisers and see what they want you to have. It maybe easier to go to normal uni As far as taking pre-med courses online, I have to ask... what kind of courses are you talking about? Some courses can't be taken online simply because there are hands on things you need to do. For example, a Chemistry or Biology course with a lab. As far as I'm concerned, labs mostly take place in class and require face to face instruction. There's no way around this as these labs are required for your degree. Also.. be wary of which school you take your courses at... some schools may not be accredited so it's important that you check the school before getting into it.",
"For gen ed courses, which is also required for your undergraduate degree, you can probably take most online. It really just depend on which institution your attending because each school offer different kind of courses. Some may be hybrid (half in class, half online), face to face (in class only), or only online. I'm a Biology major myself, and try to take as many online courses as I can since I find myself doing better in them. But I can tell you this- for my freshman year in college, I haven't taken a single Science class online simply because they weren't offered at my college. So it really depends on where you attend. WE all need a little help from our friends occasionally, and they are strong, they will rebuild and probably end the same way after the next storms hit. Areas where they are in a storm zone should require people to build the Dome houses like are on Pensacola Beach Florida and they will act as their own shelter."

"Mountains are distinguished from subsidiary peaks by their height above the highest saddle connecting it to a higher summit, a measure called topographic prominence or re-ascent. A common definition of a mountain is a summit with 300 meters prominence."
] |

"This article possibly contains original research. Please improve it by verifying the claims made and adding inline citations. Statements consisting only of original research should be removed. (September 2021) (Learn how and when to remove this template message) There are at least 108 mountains on Earth with elevations of 7,200 metres (23,622 ft) or greater above sea level. The vast majority of these mountains are located on the edge of the Indian and Eurasian plates in China, India, Nepal and Pakistan. Figure demonstrating the concept of topographic prominence: The prominence of a peak is the height of the peak's summit above the lowest contour line encircling it and no higher summit. For example, vertical arrows show the topographic prominence of three peaks on an island. A dotted horizontal line links each peak (except the highest) to its key col. The dividing line between a mountain with multiple peaks and separate mountains is not always clear (see also Highest unclimbed mountain). A popular and intuitive way to distinguish mountains from subsidiary peaks is by their height above the highest saddle connecting it to a higher summit, a measure called topographic prominence or re-ascent (the higher summit is called the \"parent peak\"). A common definition of a mountain is a summit with 300 m (980 ft) prominence. Alternatively, a relative prominence (prominence/height) is used (usually 7–8%) to reflect that in higher mountain ranges everything is on a larger scale. The table below lists the highest 100 summits with at least 500 m (1,640 ft) prominence, approximating a 7% relative prominence. A drawback of a prominence-based list is that it may exclude well-known or spectacular mountains that are connected via a high ridge to a taller summit, such as Eiger, Nuptse or Annapurna IV. A few such peaks and mountains with nearly sufficient prominence are included in this list, and given a rank of \"S\".",
"Though some parts of the world, especially the most mountainous parts, have never been thoroughly mapped, it is unlikely that any mountains this high have been overlooked, because synthetic aperture radar can and has been used to measure elevations of most otherwise inaccessible places. Still, heights or prominences may be revised, so that the order of the list may change and even new mountains could enter the list over time. To be safe, the list has been extended to include all 7,200 m (23,622 ft) peaks. As of December 2018[update], the highest peaks on four of the mountains — Gangkhar Puensum, Labuche Kang III, Karjiang, and Tongshanjiabu, all located in Bhutan or China — have not been ascended. The most recent peak to have its first ever ascent is Saser Kangri II East, in India, on 24 August 2011. The following graph ranks the countries by number of mountain peaks over 7,200 metres (23,622 ft) above sea level. Note that 38 peaks are on de facto borders and two (Jongsong Peak and Sia Kangri) are on tripoints. The following is a stem and leaf plot of the above data. The two digits to the left of the line are the first two digits of the mountain's height (metres), and each digit to the right of the line represents the third digit of the mountain's height. Each number on the right is linked to the corresponding mountain's article. For example, the height of one of the mountains (namely Mount Everest) is 8,848 metres (29,029 ft). Also, it is apparent that there are five mountains above 8,500 metres (27,900 ft). 72 | 9 9 9 8 8 8 8 7 7 6 6 5 4 4 4 3 2 2 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0Geography portalMountains portal ^ \"Denali, AK, Not Everest, is the Tallest Mountain on Land in the World\".

"The vertebral column consists of an anterior vertebral body and a posterior vertebral arch. Together, they form an enclosed hole called the vertebral foramen, which lines up with the foramina of all the vertebrae to create the vertebral canal that encloses the spinal cord."
] |
[
"In combination with the vertebral body, the vertebral arch forms an enclosed hole – the vertebral foramen. The foramina of all the vertebrae line up to form the vertebral canal, which encloses the spinal cord. Articular processes – form joints between one vertebra and its superior and inferior counterparts. The articular processes are located at the intersection of the laminae and pedicles.Clinical Relevance: Intervertebral Disc Herniation The intervertebral disc is a fibrocartilaginous cylinder that lies between the vertebrae, joining them together. They permit the flexibility of the spine, and act as shock absorbers. In the lumbar and thoracic regions, they are wedge–shaped – supporting the curvature of the spine. Herniation of an intervertebral disc occurs when the nucleus pulposus ruptures, breaking through the annulus fibrosus. The rupture usually occurs in a posterior-lateral direction, after which the nucleus pulposis can irritate nearby spinal nerves – resulting in a variety of neurological and muscular symptoms.Classifications of Vertebrae There are seven cervical vertebrae in the human body. They have three main distinguishing features:Exceptions to this are C1 (no spinous process) and C7 (spinous process is longer than that of C2-C6 and may not bifurcate). On the transverse processes of the thoracic vertebrae, there is a costal facet for articulation with the shaft of a single rib. For example, the head of Rib 2 articulates with the inferior demi facet of thoracic vertebra 1 (T1) and the superior demi facet of T2, while the shaft of Rib 2 articulates with the costal facets of T2. However, like the cervical vertebrae, they have a triangular-shaped vertebral foramen. Their spinous processes are shorter than those of thoracic vertebrae and do not extend inferiorly below the level of the vertebral body. Their size and orientation permits needle access to the spinal canal and spinal cord (which would not be possible between thoracic vertebrae). Examples include epidural anaesthesia administration and lumbar puncture.",
"The sacrum is a collection of five fused vertebrae. It is described as an inverted triangle, with the apex pointing inferiorly. On the lateral walls of the sacrum are facets for articulation with the pelvis at the sacroiliac joints. The coccyx is a small bone which articulates with the apex of the sacrum. It is recognised by its lack of vertebral arches. Due to the lack of vertebral arches, there is no vertebral canal. Left and right inferior articular facets articulate with the vertebra below.The vertebral body joints are cartilaginous joints, designed for weight-bearing. The articular surfaces are covered by hyaline cartilage, and are connected by the intervertebral disc. Two ligaments strengthen the vertebral body joints: the anterior and posterior longitudinal ligaments, which run the full length of the vertebral column. The anterior longitudinal ligament is thick and prevents hyperextension of the vertebral column. The posterior longitudinal ligament is weaker and prevents hyperflexion. The joints between the articular facets, called facet joints, allow for some gliding motions between the vertebrae. They are strengthened by several ligaments:Ligamentum flavum – extends between lamina of adjacent vertebrae. Cervical spondylosis – decrease in the size of the intervertebral foramina, usually due to degeneration of the joints of the spine. The smaller size of the intervertebral foramina puts pressure on the exiting nerves, causing pain.Interactive 3D Models In this article, we shall look at the anatomy of the vertebral column - its function, structure, and clinical significance.Fig 1 - The vertebral column viewed from the side. The five different regions are shown and labelled.[/caption]All vertebrae share a basic common structure. They each consist of an anterior vertebral body, and a posterior vertebral arch.

"The current pharmacological treatment for PFAPA syndrome includes corticosteroids, which are usually effective in managing fever episodes, and colchicine, which is used for the prophylaxis of febrile episodes. Tonsillectomy is also an option for selected patients. However, there is no evidence that medical treatment can modify the outcome of PFAPA syndrome."

"AbstractThe syndrome of periodic fever, aphthous stomatitis, pharyngitis and cervical adenitis (PFAPA syndrome) is the most common cause of periodic fever in childhood. The current pharmacological treatment includes corticosteroids, which usually are efficacious in the management of fever episodes, colchicine, for the prophylaxis of febrile episodes, and other medication for which efficacy has not been proven so far. Tonsillectomy is an option for selected patients. Usually PFAPA syndrome resolves during adolescence, but there is increasing evidence that this condition may persist into adulthood. BackgroundThe syndrome of periodic fever, aphthous stomatitis, pharyngitis and cervical adenitis (PFAPA syndrome) is the most common cause of periodic fever in childhood and it was first described in1987 by Marshall et al. [1]. It is characterized by episodes of fever lasting for 3–6 days with recurrence every 3–8 weeks, associated with at least one of three main symptoms: aphthous stomatitis, cervical adenitis, and pharyngitis [2]. Disease onset is usually before the age of 5 and generally resolves by adolescence. Patients are asymptomatic between episodes and show normal growth. Proposed contributors to pathogenesis include infection, abnormal host immune responses, or a combination of both [3, 4]. PFAPA syndrome is an immune mediated disease characterised by a cytokine dysfunction [3, 5]; moreover, the strong familial clustering suggest a potential genetic origin of the syndrome [6, 7]. The presence of variants in inflammasome related genes, mostly in NLRP3 and MEFV, suggest a possible role of these genes in PFAPA pathogenesis [7–9]. However, none of these variants alone seem to be relevant for the disease etiology, suggesting an oligenic or polygenic background.Currently the diagnosis of PFAPA is based on clinical criteria [2] (Table 1), but these criteria have not been validated in a cohort of patients. Moreover, Gattorno et al. found that a significant number of patients with monogenic periodic fevers also meet the diagnostic criteria for PFAPA syndrome [10], highlighting the poor specificity of the current classification criteria. Therefore, patients should be screened clinically or genetically for other known periodic syndromes before assigning the diagnosis of PFAPA.Table 1 Diagnostic criteria used for PFAPAFull size table",
"PFAPA syndrome has favourable natural history. There is no evidence that medical treatment can modify the outcome, but it can be efficacious for treating the episodes (Table 2). Inducing a rapid remission of episodes is important to improve the quality of life for patients and their families. In this paper we review the current treatment strategies for PFAPA and what is known about the outcome of this syndrome.Table 2 Pharmacological treatment for PFAPA syndromeFull size table Stojanov S, Hoffmann F, Kery A, Renner ED, Hartl D, Lohse P, Huss K, Fraunberger P, Malley JD, Zellerer S, Albert MH, Belohradsky BH.

"Yes, there can be potentially life-threatening complications from a rib injury. Pneumonia is a common complication, especially if a person avoids coughing due to the pain. Additionally, damage to nearby organs can cause bleeding in the chest cavity.

It will go over the most common causes of rib injuries, as well as how broken and bruised ribs are diagnosed and treated.Most rib injuries happen when there is blunt force trauma to the chest wall, such as from a car accident or fall.",
"There are different terms for rib injuries, depending on which structures are involved. The bones of the ribcage and sternum can break (fracture), and the muscles supporting the ribcage can be strained (bruised).The term \"bruised rib\" is used when the bones of the ribcage are not actually injured. The pain of a bruised rib comes from the strain or damage to:It might not sound as serious as a broken rib but bruised ribs can be very painful.The terms \"broken rib\" and \"fractured rib\" mean the same thing—a \"fracture\" or \"break\" are the same injury.Rib fractures can be regular bone breaks (like from a fall) or stress fractures caused by overuse (common in athletes).The sternum can also be fractured. The term \"cracked\" rib is sometimes used to describe a broken rib or sternum.You may hear a \"snap\" or \"crack\" when the rib injury happens. You may feel like something \"popped\" in your chest.A rib injury can be extremely painful and is harder to manage than other injuries. Unlike an arm or leg, your ribs cannot be put in a cast or brace to keep them from moving. In fact, they move every time you take a breath.These structures are also part of most normal body movements. The pain of a broken or bruised rib can make you want to hold still. However, not moving can actually make the injury worse or lead to complications of a broken rib (like pneumonia).Sharp pain (which may get worse when you twist at the waist, move your arms or shoulders, inhale, or cough)TendernessSwelling or visible bruising on your chestWith serious rib injuries, your chest might actually look different—even deformed. The unusual appearance can be a sign that you've broken more than one rib.A major rib injury can lead to a condition called flail chest. When this happens, your chest movement is the opposite of what it should be when you breathe (paradoxical movement).In flail chest, at least three ribs are broken in two or more places. The condition is usually caused by severe trauma, like a car accident. Flail chest is a medical emergency. If you see or experience it, get immediate medical attention.Rib injuries can cause potentially life-threatening complications. There are \"red flag\" signs and symptoms to watch for that mean you need to seek medical care right away, including:Severe pain that's getting worse",
"Paradoxical movementPneumonia is a common complication of broken ribs.

If you have \"red flag\" symptoms like being unable to breathe or coughing up blood, you need to get immediate medical care.Have low bone density (osteoporosis) Ribs are fairly strong and flexible, but a major trauma to the chest (like in a car accident) can easily break them.You might think that children are more likely to get rib fractures than adults since they're smaller, but it's actually not the case.

"P0 Labs is a managed detection and response service that assembles a team of cloud security incident responders and threat detection experts. Their goal is to assist enterprises in detecting and responding to data breaches in cloud environments."

"Today, cloud identity detection and response provider Permiso announced the launch of P0 Labs, a new managed detection and response service that will bring together a team of cloud security incident responders and threat detection experts to help enterprises detect and respond to data breaches. \\n\\nP0 Labs’ team of experts will be led by Ian Ahl, the VP of P0 Labs, and former Director of Advanced Practices for Mandiant where he gained first-hand experience observing threat actors attempting to exploit cloud environments. \\n\\nIt offers the ability to respond to advanced cloud-native threat actors that they wouldn’t necessarily have the technology or expertise to respond to on their own. \\n\\nThe announcements come as more and more organizations are struggling to keep up with the pace of modern cloud threats as the modern attack surface of applications, services, and microservices continues to expand. \\n\\nRecent research shows that 98% of enterprises reported having at least one cloud data breach in the past 18 months, highlighting that the majority of organizations simply aren’t able to secure their cloud-native environments. \\n\\n“The security industry consistently talks about a workforce shortage but to find cloud security professionals is an even rarer breed and we’re trying to bring that cloud security expertise to the masses, so every one of our customers can become a cloud security expert in no time,” said Paul Nguyen, cofounder and co-CEO of Permiso.\\n\\n“P0 Labs is the heart of Permiso focusing on building the latest detection methods and signals to alert our customers of malicious or suspicious activity. They also serve as trusted advisors to our customers whenever they need help from a “Cloud Hero,” Nguyen said. \\n\\nThe cloud detection and response market is expanding as more organizations realize they cannot keep up with the scale and complexity of modern cloud-based threats. \\n\\nIt’s also occurring as growth has continued in the wider managed detection and response market, with researchers valuing the market at $2.6 billion in 2022 and anticipating it will reach $5.6 billion by 2027. \\n\\nPermiso competes against a growing number of providers who are seeking to make cloud security easier to manage and more affordable for organizations, including Obsidian Security.\\n\\nEarlier this year, Obsidian Security raised $90 million as part of a series C funding round, with a solution that provides a consolidated view of users, data, and applications in the cloud, while alerting on breaches and offering incident response support to contain security incidents. \\n\\nAnother competitor is Wiz, which recently launched a CDR solution at RSAC to support enterprises in detecting and responding to cloud events in real time. Wiz raised $250 million in October last year and achieved a valuation of $6 billion. \\n\\nDespite the competition, Nguyen argues that Permiso takes a different approach from competitors due to its identity-based approach, which helps enterprises to build a narrative of who’s in the environment, what they’re doing, and whether it’s malicious or not, based upon the patterns of attack observed in previous cloud breaches.

"Carpal tunnel syndrome is caused by pressure on the median nerve in the carpal tunnel, which is a narrow passageway in the wrist. This pressure can be due to factors like wrist fractures, arthritis, or swelling and inflammation caused by conditions like rheumatoid arthritis."
] |
[
"OverviewCarpal tunnel syndrome is caused by pressure on the median nerve. The carpal tunnel is a narrow passageway surrounded by bones and ligaments on the palm side of the hand. When the median nerve is compressed, symptoms can include numbness, tingling, and weakness in the hand and arm. Tingling or numbness. You may notice tingling and numbness in the fingers or hand. Usually the thumb and index, middle or ring fingers are affected, but not the little finger. You might feel a sensation like an electric shock in these fingers. Many people \"shake out\" their hands to try to relieve their symptoms. The numb feeling may become constant over time.Weakness. You may experience weakness in the hand and drop objects. This may be due to the numbness in the hand or weakness of the thumb's pinching muscles, which are also controlled by the median nerve.When to see a doctorSee your health care provider if you have signs and symptoms of carpal tunnel syndrome that interfere with your normal activities and sleep patterns. Permanent nerve and muscle damage can occur without treatment. Sign up for free, and stay up to date on research advancements, health tips and current health topics, like COVID-19, plus expertise on managing health. Click here for an email preview.To provide you with the most relevant and helpful information, and understand which The median nerve runs from the forearm through a passageway in the wrist (carpal tunnel) to the hand. It provides sensation to the palm side of the thumb and fingers, except the little finger. It also provides nerve signals to move the muscles around the base of the thumb (motor function). Anything that squeezes or irritates the median nerve in the carpal tunnel space may lead to carpal tunnel syndrome. A wrist fracture can narrow the carpal tunnel and irritate the nerve, as can the swelling and inflammation caused by rheumatoid arthritis.",
"Risk factorsA number of factors have been associated with carpal tunnel syndrome. Although they may not directly cause carpal tunnel syndrome, they may increase the risk of irritation or damage to the median nerve. These include: Anatomic factors. A wrist fracture or dislocation, or arthritis that deforms the small bones in the wrist, can alter the space within the carpal tunnel and put pressure on the median nerve. Women who have carpal tunnel syndrome may also have smaller carpal tunnels than women who don't have the condition.Nerve-damaging conditions. Some chronic illnesses, such as diabetes, increase the risk of nerve damage, including damage to the median nerve. Body fluid changes. Fluid retention may increase the pressure within the carpal tunnel, irritating the median nerve. This is common during pregnancy and menopause. Carpal tunnel syndrome associated with pregnancy generally gets better on its own after pregnancy. Other medical conditions. Certain conditions, such as menopause, thyroid disorders, kidney failure and lymphedema, may increase the chances of carpal tunnel syndrome.Workplace factors. Working with vibrating tools or on an assembly line that requires prolonged or repetitive flexing of the wrist may create harmful pressure on the median nerve or worsen existing nerve damage, especially if the work is done in a cold environment. Several studies have evaluated whether there is an association between computer use and carpal tunnel syndrome. Some evidence suggests that it is mouse use, and not the use of a keyboard, that may be the problem. However, there has not been enough quality and consistent evidence to support extensive computer use as a risk factor for carpal tunnel syndrome, although it may cause a different form of hand pain. PreventionThere are no proven strategies to prevent carpal tunnel syndrome, but you can minimize stress on the hands and wrists with these methods:Reduce your force and relax your grip. If your work involves a cash register or keyboard, for instance, hit the keys softly. For prolonged handwriting, use a big pen with an oversized, soft grip adapter and free-flowing ink.",
"Take short, frequent breaks. Gently stretch and bend hands and wrists periodically. Alternate tasks when possible. This is especially important if you use equipment that vibrates or that requires you to exert a great amount of force. Even a few minutes each hour can make a difference. Improve your posture. Incorrect posture rolls shoulders forward, shortening the neck and shoulder muscles and compressing nerves in the neck. This can affect the wrists, fingers and hands, and can cause neck pain. Keep your hands warm. You're more likely to develop hand pain and stiffness if you work in a cold environment. If you can't control the temperature at work, put on fingerless gloves that keep the hands and wrists warm. Chien HS, et al.

"The Puget Sound Girls on the Run Bloomz group allowed classroom teachers to virtually connect with students outside of their grade level. They could share experiences, post updates, and communicate through comments and messages."

"Welcoming students and families virtually while supporting physical and social-emotional needs as we transition into the fall 2020 school year is on the top of our minds as educators and educational technologists. With Bloomz, teachers have the ability to create a community of care. Thinking wider, principals have the capacity to create a network of care. Expanding out even further to families across a state, superintendents and districts have the power to create a whole system of care. This is needed more than ever right now as we think about the trauma students have endured as COVID-19 spread around the world. We know that there is a difference in achievement between students with families who are highly engaged versus those who are not. We have our challenges to face with the upcoming school year and we must make it our duty to keep communication to families clear and consistent. There isn't much to feel certain about in regards to the upcoming school year but one thing that comforts me as an educator is Bloomz has proven to be an award-winning app year after year, including \"Best Parent-Teacher/School Communication App or Tool\" by Tech Edvocate two years in a row. I firmly believe it is the only app a school needs for connection, communication, and coordination. Staying connected is essential. When the building closure hit in March Bloomz pulled through to be the most important force in my classroom community. From getting pertinent information fast with alerts to troubleshooting developmental appropriateness of Zoom meetings and kindergarten needs, the one thing my class community could hold on to during the most uncertain time was our direct line of communication. Bloomz was in my pocket when the district went dark which meant my classroom communities and their families were supported. While a few teachers in my school used Bloomz others didn't. This proved to be a problem as remote learning took off. There were too many tools and districts were quick to try one, implement it building wide, only to pull back and say it was inappropriate. This year we have time to plan. Bloomz is the one stop shop for everything a school and district needs to support families, teachers, and students.",
"I was able to add babysitters, grandparents, aunts and tutors to students' guardian lists in a pinch. With email communication from schools it can be a longer process to get a student's greater system of care involved because they have to be cleared with extensive paperwork to get on the all school email. When teachers use Bloomz they can quickly add a caregiver to a student's profile upon parent/guardian request. This was essential in helping families during that all hands-on deck moment in March. The Puget Sound Girls on the Run Bloomz group we started earlier in the year was able to communicate and share vital information as the building closure occurred and throughout the rest of the school year. Without Bloomz groups it would have been hard as a classroom teacher to virtually connect with students outside of my grade level. It was comforting and helpful to have the opportunity to share our experiences via posts, comments, and messages. We shared virtual Girls on the Run events and program updates. Where'd that email go with the survey? Did your parent group want to give feedback months ago but didn't have time or see the email with the survey? I posted a survey link on my newsfeed asking how many live sessions families would prefer each week to gauge what felt developmentally appropriate for kindergarteners. I also pinned a whole school survey at the top of my newsfeed in the Announcements to learn more about parent preferences. With so much information coming through email and busy parents working while homeschooling, having that feedback survey pinned to the top helped families find it within the daily flow of information. In my Bloomz calendar I created a reoccurring \"Virtual Open Office Hours\" every Wednesday on Zoom. That proved to be THE BEST place for weekly feedback and connection. I was able to tweak instructional practices based on live parent feedback as well as feel a sense of community and comradery. Some parents showed up regularly while others came when they had one question. All thanked me for having a consistent open door policy. Find out how to create a repeating calendar event on the Bloomz FAQ page.",
"Streamlining communication to families is essential. To keep everyone, including myself, up to date on school-wide events and meetings I synced my school's website and Schoology calendar with my Bloomz classroom. Important dates and events my administration planned were being communicated to my class families with this feature.

"Yes, halfway houses are considered a type of medical treatment and are often covered by medical insurance. This can help individuals ease back into society and find employment without the immediate financial burden."

"For those patients who're producing the troublesome transition from institutionalized therapy back to well-known modern society, thinking over the advantages and down sides of using a halfway house is probably the following step. Although a lot of doctors and experts certainly propose some kind of clean residing agreement, it can be not essential, but for many sufferers, it may be described as a beneficial stage alongside the technique to greatest restoration. The services that are offered at 50 percent way houses are very similar to that of remedy but simply because they permit you extra flexibility to live your every day lifestyle, you have got the quick chance to get what you're studying and use them to true life circumstances. Whether you might be effective or not in your everyday dealings, you'll be able to take your encounters back to your stable and optimistic environment where your counselor, doctor, or therapist can help you analyze it. Of all the benefits, the most good encounters that people explain is the fact that you value the regularly supportive atmosphere. 1 from the hardest components of coping with the changeover into well-known culture is as soon as again facing the worries of one's life, regularly alone. Assistance groups can only offer you aid throughout the instances that they meet though other therapy selections can cost significantly even more money. Heading back straight to your home life, though, is often especially challenging as people out of your previous could possibly make an effort to deal with you in accordance with the way you implemented to be, rather than as outlined by the particular person that you are trying to turn into. This can not only be relatively irritating on their behalf, nevertheless it is often highly confusing for you personally as that you are trying to establish your new id.",
"When taking a look at a halfway property, make sure you think about that based on your classification, a halfway home is viewed as a type of health-related remedy and it is so more often than not protected by medical insurance. Lots of men and women who occur out of remedy encounter the cruel reality that they've to straight away uncover operate and begin living one thing that resembles a standard existence. By transitioning right into a half way house, although, you are able to begin assimilating oneself into modern society again and ease your way back into regular employment due to the fact your insurance coverage will cover, at the very least, a bulk of your residing costs. Of all of the aspects of living in sober homes, the most unpleasing aspect is the fact that it nevertheless seems like therapy. You're normally needed to obey a curfew and adhere to home guidelines and laws, which can include things like distributing to typical illegal substance screening and participating in group classes. Whereas this is certainly undesirable for somebody that has labored so really hard for many many years to bring in back again their flexibility to live as they make sure you, it truly is very likely a much much better design than getting to reside below the continual direction of your physicians and professionals at an inpatient center. No less than in a fifty percent way home, you can have a social life and interact with typical people today in a selection of settings. As evident in the relatively title, a sober house is almost like a link that assists overcome the hole in between compound abuse therapies on one particular hand where full life is saved along with the institution to go back to some totally built-in life that requires 1 back again in to the course of a normal existence around the contrary. Here's a listing from the a variety of benefits normal within the treatment options provided through the halfway houses. Consider a appear:",
"First and primarily benefit will be the speed and price of restoration guaranteed utilizing a halfway home. After a person retrieves from material mistreatment and substance addiction by way of pertinent drug treatment plans, it truly is essential that the recouping individuals usually do not location on their own into any sort of scenario that could build negative scenarios and put the restoration at risk. As significantly because the Recovery Link approach goes, the average time time period for which an individual requirements to keep at a sober living or drug free home is three to six many weeks in the most. The drug free home keep is helpful because it requires ample checking for ensuring drug free. In truth this can be one of many key functions of the sober homes, to watch the recovery with the prisoners. The reality is the exams include things like standard evidence of urine and liquid blood samples in the prisoners to make sure that none of these is employing any liquor or medicines any far more. The subsequent component of benefit with the recovery house treatment options is the challenge of security. When an abuser or an alcohol addiction moves in the direction of the restoration course of action, he is inside a condition where he has lost even the the very least volume of handle of his own lifestyle. In such circumstances the addicted individuals reach a condition of greatest vulnerability where probably the most minor pressure in the exterior world can cause seriously undesirable results on their mental and bodily state. In such situations if he/she is made to live within a protective location just like the halfway houses, it proves to become truly useful. Living in a alcohol free home they reach reside within an certainly protected and secure spot that's devoid with the stress from the exterior planet and therefore they're able to work correctly on their restoration course of action.",
"Ø The number of possibilities attainable, as considerably because the therapy solutions in the halfway homes are involved, are a large number of. Studying to abide by rules and laws can be a crucial element on the entire procedure of recovery. This really is the one likelihood where every single in the regaining men and women at the home will get the inimitable likelihood to test their own skills and choose the credibility of their own alternatives. The reality is, this really is the 1 chance after they may also check up the consequences from the mistakes they dedicated inside the secured confines from the home. Ø Final although not the least advantage of sober houses is that these allow the sufferers to simplicity the situation of addiction in a slow but steady tempo. Hence the approach of easing again into the regular modern society also takes place at a slow and automatic way generating it easier for your addicts to seek out acceptance amongst their estranged friends and family members."

"Zachary Knowles' music can be described as \"dreamy\" or \"chill pop.\" It's a blend of different styles, influenced by artists like John Mayer, Sean Kingston, and Justin Bieber."
] |
[
"Over the last few years, there's been a distinct uptick in this musically subtle, but emotively potent sound that's paved the careers for some of music's now-biggest (Billie Eilish an obvious example); all specialising in this kind-of lo-fi, yet rich brand of pop. There's plenty of positives to be found in this sound's exponential rise in popularity and its success on streaming services, however one of the biggest comes in the next generation that are being discovered through people's fascination with this sound, a wealth of talent both local and international being unearthed and thrown into the spotlight as the world races to find the next big star. Texan musician Zachary Knowles isn't exactly new - his work stretches back to singles in 2017, with EPs and guest collaborations littering the time since - but he's definitely someone discovering an entirely new audience through this wave of lo-fi pop, and its increasing dominance amongst the commercial pop world. The 21-year-old is somewhat of a cult figure - despite not being a household name just yet, he has songs in the millions of plays and an audience that laps up his every move - but every thing he does takes him a step closer to that full commercial breakthrough, and his new EP is included that. Arriving at the tail-end of April but finding new success every week since, magnolia - Zachary Knowles' second EP - is a collection of tracks that showcase his lo-fi sounda and his ability to take it and drift between several differing types of textures and flavours in doing so, incorporating a wealth of influences into his distinctly flavourful sound. Throughout the EP's five tracks, Knowles showcases as much of his varying sound as he can; sweeping between elements of indie, electronica, R&B and bedroom-pop while bridging them all together with a sheen and polish that's become synonymous with musicians like Knowles: genre isn't so much a sound as it is a feel, as cliché as that may sound.",
"Magnolia shows this perfectly. On ghost, a woozy production sparse with melody forms an underlay for the musician's vocal to rise and fall amongst; twanging guitar left to its most subtle as the harmonies come together to elevate the vocals that navigate through them, beautifully too. I don't feel the same presents something a little similar, albeit a touch more upbeat and punchy; the single's production hitting with a heavier emphasis on percussion that much like ghost before it, mutes much of the non-vocal melodies in its verses. In the EP's latter tracks, however, is where Knowles' versatility shines. Cherry wine is a twinkling moment of acoustic bedroom-pop that could easily have a home on the Call Me By Your Name soundtrack - smatterings of R&B and indie intertwining as a result of influences in Frank Ocean and Bon Iver alike. On jungle, he veers into woozy hip-hop (kinda); a snapping, snare-dominating production forming a rap-ready underlay that doesn't see Knowles rap over the top of, but instead swirl and dance amongst, his vocals far more on the soulful side than what typically meets productions like these. No matter what flavour of woozy R&B Zachary Knowles approaches, you know the Texan musician is going to approach it with a certain sheen that makes him stand out - and that's what's important these days, in a time where the internet has made music as saturated as it's ever been. He's someone on the come-up, but jump in front of the pack and introduce yourself to Zachary Knowles and his washed-out new EP below: I'm from a smaller town called Magnolia, TX. I always loved singing, but kinda kept it to myself for the most part. I was mainly embarrassed of what people would think if they heard me, and the idea of people watching me scared me big time. I even had it in my head at one point that I would never do shows, because I didn't think I could honestly. I used to struggle with anxiety pretty badly, but music was a way for me to express myself, and I feel like singing about the anxiety helped me get through it and get passed it in a lot of ways.",
"In high school, I kinda put myself out there and threw some covers up on SoundCloud. They got a lot of really good feedback from everyone at my school, so I just kept doing it. Going into college I discovered I actually had a passion for creating, and started diving deeper into that. I released my first EP feelings, and have since been pushing myself to create things that I love. I'm 21 years old, still have a year of college left, and I drive a 99 Isuzu Trooper. Life is good. I feel like I'm inspired by a lot of different styles. I grew up listening to artists like John Mayer, Sean Kingston, and Justin Bieber, Justin probably being my biggest inspo, even to this day. I like to think of my music as \"dreamy\" or \"chill pop\" or something. It's always kinda hard to explain to people honestly, but I feel like you could listen to it while on a date, but also listen while feeling sad if that makes sense. I just wanna share what's on my mind and it's always cool to see what environment people listen to it in and how they relate. Lately I've been trying my hand more on the producing side of things, so I'm trying to experiment with new sounds, ideas, vocal stuff, all that. But as far as my process, I'll usually find some chords I love first. Then I'll just sit and mumble random words and melodies while recording them on the voice memos app on my phone. If I find something I like, I just roll with it and try and base the song idea off how the song feels itself. I work closely with Peter Fenn, who produces most of my stuff at the moment, but I also love meeting new people to work with. I just wanna build relationships and music has been such a cool way to do that.",
"magnolia was created during a really cool time in my life. I was just starting to travel more to LA and New York and I was in the middle of the signing process with Fader, so there was a lot going on. I like that though, cause I feel like when I've got a lot going on it usually leads to some creative ideas. I was meeting a lot of new people during that time, and worked on a few different songs off the project with multiple people. I feel like because of that, the project's got versatility but also stays cohesive. It's also named after my hometown, because I wanted to always have a reminder of where things started. 2020's been a weird one so far with everything going on in the world, but honestly this is the most creative I've ever felt. I think because there's so much going on it's allowed me to draw inspiration from a bunch of different sources. After releasing magnolia, I got a really cool vision for the direction I'd like to go with my new stuff and I'm really freakin pumped for what's next. I'm releasing some singles pretty soon that I think are really special, and after that I look to release another project, probably in the form of an EP. I've always loved seeing how people relate to my songs. Sometimes they take it a completely different way than what the songs are actually about, but it's so interesting and awesome. Something I've thought about recently is how deep and vulnerable music is. I can't think of very many professions where you openly talk about life experiences, struggles, beliefs, or whatever it may be, where everyone gets to listen. It's like people are getting a front row seat to your personal life in a way. So I guess from this project, or just my music in general, I just want people to connect with it however that looks. I'd like to know that my music helps people, either through a hard time or to keep them going when they're having a great time. I want people to feel like they know me in a sense, and like they have someone to relate to when they listen to my songs.",

"Chameleons change their color by manipulating specialized cells — called chromatophores — that contain different colors of pigment. When a chameleon wants to convey a particular mood or message, its brain sends a message to its chromatophores, which then move pigments around to change the chameleon ’s color.or example, darker colors tend to mean a chameleon is angry. Lighter colors might be used to attract mates. Some chameleons also change colors to help their bodies adjust to changes in temperature or light. For example, a chameleon that gets cold might change to a darker color to absorb more heat and warm its body. The size of the enclosure that you have for your 6-8 week old chameleon, and the size of the enclosure that you will have for your adult chameleon will be significantly different (enclosure sizes vary between species). Typically, a 6-8 week old chameleon can be housed in a 25-35 gallon reptarium (see housing).he size of the enclosure that you have for your 6-8 week old chameleon, and the size of the enclosure that you will have for your adult chameleon will be significantly different (enclosure sizes vary between species).

"Each chameleon species has its own color range. They can't just turn any color. Chameleons can change their color because of a very complex cell system. Beneath it's transparent skin are several cell layers which contain pigments. We also have pigments which cause our skin to darken in the sun.ight, temperature, mood and health are all reasons these lizards change colors. Lights reflect off of them, changing their color. A chameleon will also make itself flat and dark so it can absorb more heat. Actually, the chameleon is constantly changing its color.

"The Apache is made up of six different groups: Chiricahua, Jicarilla, Lipan, Mescalero, Western Apache, and Kiowa. Each group may have its own beliefs, history, location, and customs."

"The Apache Nation has an interesting and resilient history. From decades of wars, unfair treaties, and the fight to keep culture amid repeated assimilation attempts, the Apache honor their ancestors through their strength and devotion. Historically, the Apache lived in the high mountains, sheltered and watered valleys, deep canyons, and deserts. This area is now Eastern Arizona, Northern Mexico, New Mexico, West Texas, and Southern Colorado. These areas are collectively known as Apacheria. The Apache is made up of six different groups within the larger tribe. Each band may have its own beliefs, history, location, and customs. For example, the Chiricahua Apache entered into what is now known as the Southwestern United States sometime between 1400 and 1500. This group of Apache was made up of bands that settled in Arizona, New Mexico, and Northern Mexican deserts. The six tribes within the Apache are the Chiricahua, Jicarilla, Lipan, Mescalero, Western Apache, and Kiowa. Each group within the greater tribe of Apache has a different origin for their name, such as the Chiricahua Apache’s name coming from the Chiricahua mountains in Southeast Arizona. The title of Apache is derived from the Spanish and Zuni words for enemy or outlaw. However, the Apache call themselves Indé, which means person or people. The Spanish first discovered Apache tribes in 1540 as a result of the Coronado expedition. However, Apache did not have to deal with settlers on their land until Juan de Oñate entered the Pueblo country in what is now New Mexico. There was consistent tension between Apache bands and Spanish settlers, and Spanish colonists and Apache bands would raid each other. However, some groups traded with one another and were generally peaceful. The nature of relationships seemed band-specific and not generalized across all Apache communities or Spanish settlers. After Mexico’s independence in 1821, relations between the Apache and Mexico became tenser. The Spanish forts established to curb Apache raids were removed, so Apache bands began to raid Mexico more consistently. The tensions between Mexico and the Apache led to a bounty on Apache scalps established by the Mexican government in 1835. However, some Mexican villages still traded with Apache bands. Apache groups partnered with the U.S. government during its war against Mexico in 1846, allowing for safe passage for U.S. soldiers over their land. The Apache Wars",
"The Apache Wars were fought fiercely for 24 years. Fueled by gold miners settling in the Santa Rita Mountains, rising conflicts between the U.S. government and Apache bands, and continued tension between Apache and Mexico and Spain, the wars were fraught with loss and trauma. Most of the battles were not traditional, open battles but were instead conflicts characterized by ambush attacks. Ultimately, the United States developed reservations for the Apache, the Spanish, and the Mexicans. These reservations were often poorly managed but strictly guarded, so anyone who tried to leave was harshly punished. Within these reservations, bands of Apache who had no ties to each other were forced to live together. Many Apache warriors refused to settle on reservations, continuing their raids and ambushes instead. Two notable leaders in the Apache raids were Geronimo and Victorio. They fought against the order for Apache to settle on reservations and kept up their rebellion until 1886, when Geronimo and his followers surrendered, thus ending the Apache wars. The Chiricahua Apache were taken from the West as prisoners of war for 27 years. After this period, they were given a choice to either take allotments of land in Oklahoma or live on the Mescalero Reservation in New Mexico. Around two-thirds of the group chose to live on the reservation. Other notable treaties between the United States and the Apache include the Treaties of the Medicine Lodge (1867), which forced the Apache, Comanche, Kiowa, Cheyenne, and Arapaho tribes to begin farming in an effort to assimilate them and quell the white fear and perception that Native people were warlike and uncivilized. In 1889, Congress passed the General Allotment Act, dividing the tribal reservations into individual allotments. Any unclaimed lands were sold to white settlers. This treaty left the Apache with just 32,643 acres of land from the original reservation, which spanned 2.9 million acres.",
"Assimilation attempts such as the Treaties of the Medicine Lodge continued into the 1890s, with many Apache children sent to the Carlisle Indian School in Pennsylvania. Government and missionary schools were also established among the Apache. Apache are matrilineal, which means that the family tree is traced through the mother of each family. Throughout history, Apache families have been close and have lived together. Mothers and daughters completed much of their work together. The families that lived together often traveled together since, for much of history, the Apache were nomadic and moved when the seasons changed. Becoming a warrior was a sacred calling and role in Apache communities, and both men and women could have this honor. Training to become a warrior began when they were young and many toys Apache children played with were pretend weapons. Becoming a warrior was intense, with some trials including running for two days straight without food or sleep, learning to lie entirely still to disappear into their surroundings, and diving into frozen rivers. Apache tribes almost always functioned without a centralized tribal organization. Instead, they followed a band, which was a small group within a more prominent tribe. The bands served as the primary political and raiding unit, and the head of the band was recognized as an informal chief. The Apache lived in huts called wickiups, which were made from grass, hides, and other materials. Apache women would harvest agave when it was in season. Strips of Agave were dried and carried with the Apache for food. Apache also hunted buffalo and eventually farmed, though farming proved difficult for them to adapt to and was mainly a push for assimilation from the U.S. government. Apache religion was based on the belief in supernatural things and the power of nature. Each group of Apache had its own interpretation of the supernatural and spiritual things. The Mescalero Apache, for example, believe that the White Painted Woman gave them the virtues of pleasant life and longevity.",
"In Mescalero's beliefs, the White Painted Woman raised a son to help protect her people, the Apache, from the evil monsters and to make the earth inhabitable. The White Painted woman is the model of heroic and virtuous womanhood. The time of a young girl reaching puberty is sacred within Apache tribes. There are sacred and extensive ceremonies that celebrate this transition into womanhood. The ceremonies last multiple days and can require months, and sometimes years, of preparation. During the ceremony, girls perform elaborate dances and are given special blessings. Parents also choose godparents for their daughters, and a medicine man and medicine woman prepare sacred items for the event. In the Mescalero tribes, girls dress and act as the White Painted Woman during their puberty rite.Where is the Apache Tribe Today? Today, Apache groups can be found in Oklahoma, Arizona, and New Mexico. There are 13 different Apache tribes represented in the United States today. Modern Apache is still advocating for the true history of their tribe and story to be told."

"Certainly! Drinking too much water can indeed be harmful, leading to a condition known as water intoxication or hyponatremia, where the body's electrolyte balance is disrupted. This can cause symptoms like muscle cramps, nausea, or confusion. It's important to balance your water intake and consult a healthcare professional if you're drinking significantly more than the recommended 8 glasses a day and experiencing these symptoms."

"It’s essential to stay hydrated in order to maintain good health and proper bodily functions. Not only does drinking water help regulate your body temperature and flush out toxins, it also helps keep your skin healthy and moisturized. While the amount of water you need to drink each day can vary depending on lifestyle factors, it’s important to try and drink at least 8 glasses of water daily.\\n\\nGenerally speaking, it’s recommended that you drink at least 8 glasses (64 ounces) of water per day. This can be in the form of water bottles, or any other beverage that contains mainly water – such as herbal tea, low-fat milk, and even fruit juices. However, if you’re engaging in physical activity or if the weather is particularly hot and humid, you may need to consume more than 8 glasses a day.\\n\\nDrinking enough water throughout the day is essential for overall health and wellbeing – so make sure to keep those bottles filled up! If you’re ever unsure about how many water bottles should I drink in a day, remember to refer to the recommended 8 glasses, and then adjust your water intake according to other lifestyle factors.Number Of Water Bottles To Drink In Different Environment\\n\\nWhen flying in a plane, it’s important to increase your water intake due to the fact that cabin air is recycled without being filtered. A good rule of thumb is to drink at least one 8-ounce glass per hour of flight time.\\n\\nIf you’re spending a lot of time in an air-conditioned environment, it’s important to keep drinking plenty of water. Air conditioning can cause dehydration due to the dry air; so try to drink at least 8 ounces of water every hour that you spend in an air-conditioned place.\\n\\nIf you’re outside in hot weather, it’s important to increase your water intake. Drink around 8 ounces of water every 30 minutes that you spend out in the heat – and take regular breaks to ensure that you remain hydrated.\\n\\nIt’s easy to forget about drinking water when the weather is cold, but it’s important for your health. On colder days, try to drink around 8 ounces of water every hour that you spend outdoors – and make sure to warm up any drinks with hot water if they become too cold.\\n\\nIf you’re engaging in moderate activity – such as a leisurely walk or bike ride – it’s important to keep drinking water. Try to drink around 8 ounces of water every 15 minutes that you spend doing light physical activity.\\n\\nIf you’re not drinking enough water, you may experience symptoms such as dry mouth, fatigue, and difficulty concentrating. In addition, you may also notice that your skin is looking more dull or dry than usual.\\n\\nStay hydrated and healthy by drinking enough fluids every day. Men should aim for approximately 3 liters and women for 2.2 liters of fluids daily. Beyond preventing kidney stones, research has not yet found any compelling reasons to consume more than the recommended amounts. So, grab a glass of water and make those 8 cups a day a habit!\\n\\nAccording to the experts at the National Academies of Sciences, keeping hydrated is key to a healthy lifestyle. They recommend an impressive 2.7 liters for women and 3.7 liters of water for men daily to stay in peak condition. That equates to a minimum of 5-6 bottles of water for women and 7-8 bottles for men. Stay healthy and keep your body hydrated."

"Fiona has been providing me with on-the-mark advice around my business development for the coming year. It's her determination to see her clients succeed that makes Fiona stand out. Not for her 'advise . . . and walk away.' Fiona follows up, provides the structure and advice founded in experience to develop a strong business plan that works. I have recently moved into a beautiful new Beauty Therapy Salon, and it is all since working with Fiona Clark from BreakThrough Business Solutions. She has given me the confidence to set goals, to have a vision and to believe in myself. The Business Planning process and strategies she developed were unbelievable, and my business has successfully expanded. I have a great business that I love coming to every day. I am so grateful for all the help and support I've had. Thank you! I have been working with Fiona just over a year and she has helped me build my business to what it is today. I have had a 75% increase in turnover. I would highly recommend taking the steps to bring Fiona on board in your business. I have come across many business advisors/coaches but no one comes close to the service and hands on approach like Fiona. After working with Fiona for the past eight months I have seen a marked increase in the turnover of my business of more than 40%. Fiona has helped to develop clear strategies for marketing, and put in place a structured approach that will allow the business to continue to grow long after the association with her ends. The strategies suggested by Fiona were low cost (some around $50) and produced an impressive return on investment. Fiona's influence has helped to give greater direction, focus and results to my business. She was well organised, had some great strategic initiatives and helped us articulate a workable business plan. We have always tended to be reactive, rather than proactive and Fiona has helped us put together a business plan for the future which will ensure success. If you're serious about planning and growing your business, I highly recommend that you talk to Fiona now!\"",
"In the past couple of years, we have had changes in ACC funding which affected our business and resulted in a large decline in turnover. We got Fiona on board and started developing new ideas and growth strategies. Our turnover increased to the point our Bank Manager noticed the results and wanted to know how we were increasing business! And Fiona has also given us a new skill set we didn't have before, which adds strength to our business. \"Fiona has been great to work with. When we met she listened well and grasped the nature of our business quickly, and then worked closely with us to plan an effective staff team day. Her communication was prompt and clear, and the programme she mapped out was spot on for what we wanted. The actual day was delivered professionally, with warmth and fun. Staff enjoyed themselves and learnt lots at the same time. I would highly recommend Fiona and we are looking at how we can work with her again.\" Fiona has helped us look at our business from a totally different perspective. She has helped us to develop new strategies and approaches and we are working more 'on' the business rather than being consumed by it. The staff training we have had has gone very well and the staff have really stepped up and even surprised themselves by what they have achieved. Fiona makes you accountable to yourself and has a fabulous way of working. I would definitely recommend her. As a small business owner Fiona gave me the confidence to think about my business differently. I have been in the Travel Industry nearly 20 years, and after working with Fiona I have increased the leads I am getting and turning those leads into actual sales. She has helped me identify new opportunities, put good structures and processes in place, and take control of my business which has had a huge impact. She has enabled me to get excited again about my business and working with her is the best thing I could have done.\"",
"Fiona was highly recommended to me by another business person who said to me \"Fiona turned my business around\". So I met with Fiona and knew instantly that she \"got my business and what it was about\". I was drawn to Fiona also by her expert knowledge and experience in sales and marketing. Fiona is thorough, detailed and very personable. She is a pleasure to work with."
