The Conservation Burn Technique
When done properly “conservation burning” is a technique for burning woody material that greatly reduces the production of smoke particulates and reduces the amount of Carbon released into the atmosphere. Biochar can be produced from the material left over after the burn and spread with compost to increase soil organic matter and sequester Carbon in the soil.
Tools and Equipment
- McLeod rakes
- Metal rakes
- Propane torch
- PPE - Cotton clothing, heavy boots, heavy gloves, goggles and/or a facemask for heat protection.
- Water - Water truck or connect to the irrigation system. Small fire = ¾” hose and garden hose pistol; large fire = 1” hose and fire nozzle.
Small piles are better than big ones. A large pile makes it difficult to light, is harder to stack loosely, and makes it less likely the conservation burn process will work as desired.
Pieces in the pile should be about the same size. The exception is kindling. Collect kindling size pieces from the material going into the stack. Place them on top once the pile is built. Pieces of material of varying sizes will burn at different rates. Smaller pieces will turn to ash before the larger pieces have burned to char. Cut up large pieces to match the size of average pieces.
Stack piles somewhat loosely. The conservation burn process requires air flow. In particular, air flow to the kindling on top of the pile.
Piles need to season. This is the same principle as seasoning firewood - to reduce moisture. The material should be less than 20% moisture content. A firewood moisture meter can be an inexpensive way of determining if the pile is ready for a successful burn.
Light the pile from the top, not the bottom. If it is not windy, light the entire circumference of the top of the pile. If it is windy, light the pile from the downwind side of the pile. If the pile is difficult to light try adding more kindling to the top before resorting to additional accelerant.
Put out the fire before everything turns to ash. The fire is ready to be extinguished when you can still tell what type of material was burned (part of a trunk, part of a cordon, a big spur position) and the pile is covered with fine white ash. To reduce the amount of Carbon released into the atmosphere it is crucial to put out the fire before the material turns completely to ash. The more black material left at the end of the burn, the less Carbon that has been lost.
Put out the fire with water from the upwind side. Slowly remove the charred material. This is the biochar. Hose down the area ahead of the workers. Worker safety is critical. Be sure water is supplied to the area around and ahead of the workers’ feet. This process is repeated across the pile until the fire is completely out.
Rake out the charred material. Spray down an area where charred material can be raked out and any unburned material can be removed.
Crush the charred material. Once the material has cooled, run over the charred material with a piece of heavy equipment to pulverize it. The greater the surface area, the better. Crush the biochar to a size that is easy to work in a compost pile and spread.
Blend with compost. The ideal time to add biochar to compost for spreading is early in the composting processing.

- 10 What do you put in water when cooking Silverside?
- 11 How long does it take to cook corn?
You asked, how many hours does it take to cook corned beef? Instead: Cooking corned beef takes patience as it’s a tough cut of meat that benefits from a lengthy cook time. For stovetop cooking, plan on at least three hours for a three-pound corned beef or eight to 10 hours for a three- to four-pound cut that’s cooked on low in the crock pot.
Likewise, do you have to rinse corned beef before cooking?
- Not rinsing the meat before cooking. … Do this instead: Whether you bought a ready-to-cook corned beef or you cured your own, rinse the meat several times under cool water to remove any excess salt. But don’t think this means you’re rinsing away all the flavor; by this point, the meat is fully infused with it.
Moreover, why is corned beef so bad for you? Corned beef is processed red meat made by brining brisket in a salt and spice solution to flavor and tenderize it. While it provides protein and nutrients like iron and vitamin B12, corned beef is relatively high in fat and sodium. It’s also a source of certain compounds that may increase your risk of cancer.
You asked, can you overcook corned beef? Yes, it’s possible to overcook corned beef. When this happens, the meat will be tough and dry. Keeping the temperature low and checking the internal temp of the meat should help you to avoid this fate. If all else fails, you can reheat the slices in a bit of liquid to help moisten them.Place corned beef in large pot or Dutch oven and cover with water. Add the spice packet that came with the corned beef. Cover pot and bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer. Simmer approximately 50 minutes per pound or until tender.
What is the red liquid in corned beef?
It’s not blood that we’re seeing, it’s a mixture of myoglobin and water. Myoglobin is a protein found in the animal’s muscles. Meat is (generally) made up of about 75% water.
Do you cook corned beef with the fat side up or down?
Corned beef brisket is not a delicate meat, so almost any method of cooking will give you a tender and juicy result. The best way to decide how to cook yours is to go by the cooking method. Briskets cooked in liquid should be fat side up and those cooked directly on the heat source should be fat side down.
What is the jelly on corned beef?
Jellied corned beef is a specialty dish which is made from corned beef which is mixed with gelatin and poured into a loaf mold. … To make jellied corned beef, cooks first need corned beef, a cut of beef which is pickled in brine and then cooked slowly to tenderize it and bring out the flavor of the brine.
What is the most unhealthy meat to eat?
In general, red meats (beef, pork and lamb) have more saturated (bad) fat than chicken, fish and vegetable proteins such as beans. Saturated and trans fats can raise your blood cholesterol and make heart disease worse.
Do you eat the fat on corned beef?
Cut off all visible fat and steam-cook it to melt away any additional fat. If you’re willing to give up the corned beef but still want a meat entree, why not try pork tenderloin or sample slow-cooked flank steak instead? These dishes are just as mouth-watering but have far fewer calories and sodium.
Why is it called corned beef?
The British invented the term “corned beef” in the 17th century to describe the size of the salt crystals used to cure the meat, the size of corn kernels. After the Cattle Acts, salt was the main reason Ireland became the hub for corned beef.
Should I boil or roast corned beef?
Bake. Baked corned beef develops a fabulous crispy crust. Before you bake it, however, you must boil it to remove some of the curing salt. Place the corned beef in a large pot and cover with water.
How do you know when corn beef is done boiling?
Corned beef is safe once the internal temperature has reached at least 145 °F, with a three minute rest time, but cooking it longer will make it fork-tender. Corned beef may still be pink in color after cooking. This does not mean it is not done. Nitrite is used in the curing process.
How do I know when my corned beef is done?
Use the Thermometer The simplest and safest way to test if your corned beef has finished cooking is to stick a thermometer in it and check the temperature. The USDA recommends that the beef brisket be thoroughly cooked to 145°F.
What do you put in water when cooking Silverside?
- Place the silverside in a large saucepan. Add the carrots, celery, onion, peppercorns and cloves. Cover with plenty of cold water and bring to the boil over medium-high heat.
- Cut the corned silverside across the grain into thin slices. Serve with your choice of sauce or vegetables.
How long does it take to cook corn?
Bring a large pot of water to a boil and add the corn. Cook, stirring occasionally to make sure the corn is submerged, for 3 to 5 minutes, or until the corn is tender and bright yellow.

Why does my cat hunt?
Hunting is a normal cat behaviour which is driven by their need to eat regularly, but whether a cat chooses to hunt or not will vary individually. Some cats may not be interested, some may physically be unable to hunt, whereas others may not have the opportunity. Despite it being completely normal some owners find it distressing to know that their cat hunts, particularly if they bring their prey home.
Does hunting mean my cat is hungry?
Not necessarily. Cats naturally graze on their food and so will hunt before they are hungry in anticipation of needing a meal later. It does not mean you are under feeding your cat. After making a kill a hungry cat will eat their prey but if they are full then they leave it with the intention of eating later (and so bring it home). If repeated chances of making a successful kill are present then a cat will hunt several times to ensure they have enough food for the day, even when there is food at home.
Does hunting mean my cat is bored?
Cats enjoy variety in their food. If they are fed the same food repeatedly then some may hunt to find variety and give them a choice. When prey is then not killed or eaten it could be the cat is full but also that they prefer the flavour of their cat food over the prey they have caught.
Why does my cat play with their prey?
Cats that are seen to be ‘toying with’ their prey rather than killing straight away are not necessarily playing with their food. There is some belief that they are weighing up the risks of injury with the benefits of getting a meal. However, at home it has been shown that cats will play for longer with toys that look and mimic the behaviour of prey particularly when the cat is hungry. This indicates that there is perhaps an element of play associated with hunting.
Can I stop my cat from hunting?
Unless you keep your cat indoors with no access to prey then you cannot really stop them hunting. However, there are things you can do to decrease their desire to hunt and their success rate. Provide a variety of tasty foods little and often so you mimic your cat’s normal feeding pattern. Overfeeding your cat will not stop them hunting but will risk them becoming overweight and so is not recommended. Playing with toys that mimic prey species at home can help relieve the instinct to hunt as well as any pent up energy.
Prey species are generally more active at dawn and dusk so keeping your cat inside during those times should reduce the opportunities to find prey. Attaching a bell to your cat's collar will alert prey when they are coming giving them more time to get away. We recommend click/quick release collars which open when pulled with enough force. This helps protect your cat from strangulation and other collar injuries although you may lose some collars.
The only downside of this is that there is some evidence that using a bell or similar device that makes noise when your cat moves can teach them to move more stealthily. Eventually, some cats may even learn to move so smoothly that the bell does not sound, making them even more efficient predators.
How do I protect my hunting cat?
Cats that hunt are at greater risk of picking up internal and external parasites. It is important that you treat your cat for fleas, mites, ticks, and worms on a regular basis. Your veterinary practice will be happy to advise you on what products are available and how often you should be using them.

These Companies Are Taking Millennials’ Mental Health Very Seriously
Here’s something to ponder on, folks! Hard fact: Americans do not take mental health seriously enough. According to the NIMH, as many as 45% of mental health cases go untreated in this country, at a total potential cost of $147 billion per year.
Three weeks ago, in October, different parts of the globe celebrated the “World Mental Health Day” – highlighting how much each country should value and pay attention on taking good care of one’s mental health.
People from different walks of life suffer from various mental health risks and illnesses of which they may or may not be totally aware of. Among the generations, millennials’ mental health conditions have become a major concern.
Mental Health 101
With this in mind, we have thought of featuring as to why these companies and employers have taken their mental health to a higher height.
Millennials report depression in higher numbers than any previous generation, according to Mashable, at 20 percent, or one in five people. The runners-up are baby boomers and generation X, with 16 percent apiece.
According to a study by Bensinger, Dupont and Associates, one in five millennials are said to be experiencing depression. Come to think of it: One in every five millennials. OMG – these figures are quite alarming.
These statistics are devastating and also not widely known — but they’re not terribly controversial. What is controversial — or at least uncomfortable — is the idea that millennials suffer from more mental health issues than any previous generation.
True enough, there are plenty of employees around you that are silently facing a private or public struggle that comes with mental illness. And would you believe that most of them are millennials? Yeah.
These companies go out of their way to value their employee’s mental health:
The social media post that went viral and took the netizens by storm
Recently a tweet by Madalyn Rose Parker, an employee at Olark, a live chat software company, went viral. Parker’s tweet shows an email she sent at work that says, “I’m taking today and tomorrow to focus on my mental health. Hopefully I’ll be back next week refreshed and back to 100%.”
In response, Ben Congleton, CEO of Olark, had this to say:
“I just wanted to personally thank you for sending emails like this. Every time you do, I use it as a reminder of the importance of using sick days for mental health – I can’t believe this is not standard practice at all organizations. You are an example to us all, and help cut through the stigma so we can all bring our whole selves to work.”
While the CEO’s reply seemed epic and impressive to most people (including us), it does bring to light the stark reality that most millennials are not supported by their employers, bosses, and colleagues when it comes to taking care of their mental health.
CHG Healthcare believes that mental health directly affects our productivity
This is one company that has recently made strides in taking mental health of their employees seriously. Their employee base is comprised of about half millennials.
“We started offering services approximately one year ago via our partnership with Marathon Health in our Salt Lake City office,” said Nicole Thurman, Senior Director of Talent Management at CHG Healthcare, a healthcare staffing company. “This is our corporate office and there are approximately 1400 employees here.”
Betterhelp knows the power of counseling
To help reduce employees’ anxieties about exposing their need for help, Jeff Williams, senior director of business development and PR at BetterHelp in Sunnyvale, California, believes in giving the option of online counseling.
Williams told me: “Online counseling solutions enable more employees to feel comfortable reaching out to get the help they need because it’s low cost — ours is free to try it out when referred via an employer –, they can do it privately; it’s available from anywhere and at any time; and people feel more able to open up about their problems when shielded behind a computer or mobile screen.”
Offer counseling — online and/or offline — to everyone on your team. Take it a step further by setting aside a half hour each day for employees to take care of their overall wellness. This gives time for online counseling sessions, taking a walk, or even unwinding with yoga.

There are many deformities that exist in the world of dentistry ranging from the head down to the neck. Deformities are common condition that are linked to birth defects or genetics (Merriam-Webster, 2019). They can be mild abnormalities to more severe defects that can require surgical correction. Because some conditions can be severe and detrimental to the patient’s well-being, they require x-rays to evaluate the conditions to see what can be done to correct the dentofacial abnormality. In the essay I will be explaining some of the known abnormalities that can affect a patient and how they are viewed in dentistry. I will also be explaining how they can affect the way the radiographer views an x-ray and why it is important to know of these deformities before the exposure.
One of the most known oral deformities is cleft lip/cleft palate. There are different types of oral clefts. An oral cleft palate is where there is a slit in the roof (hard palate) of the mouth. This is where the hard palate has a cleft extending towards the front of the mouth but not actually reaching the incisor area. A cleft lip is where the lip has a slit, sometimes coming from inside the mouth. A cleft lip is more physically visible whereas the cleft palate can be harder to see. Oral clefts can bring on some problems during development such as feeding issues, dental issues, constant ear aches, and even speech impediments. In order to avoid these problems most clefts are surgically corrected within the first year of a child’s life. The best way to view these types of clefts in dentistry would be by preforming an occlusal projection and a panoramic projection. Most children with clefts will required braces to fix the more crocked teeth affected by the cleft and surgery (‘Cleft Lip and Cleft Palate (for Kids)’, 2019).
Another abnormality in dentistry is a torus. It’s an overgrowth of bone that grows in certain parts of the mouth. Tori tend to grow on the roof of the mouth near the midline which is also known as tori palatini, on the inside of the lower jaw also known as lingual tori, and the outside of the upper molars also known as buccal exostoses. Although they can be bothersome tori are not harmful or cancerous. They are linked to the genetics of the person. They can easily be surgically removed. In dental radiographs tori appear as slightly radiopaque masses in area that would otherwise appear more radiolucent in x-rays. Sometimes the film packets can cause issues when trying to place receptors in a patient’s mouth but once properly placed, they can easily be viewed with periapical, occlusal, and panoramic images. The receptors can cause the patient to be uncomfortable when a torus is present so to accommodate for any pain the patient might feel, modify the technique. For more comfortability with a maxillary torus place the receptor to the far side of the torus and not directly on the torus. When mandibular tori are present placing the receptor in between the tongue and the tori will provide better comfort for the patient (Iannucci, 173).
In addition, overbites and underbites are also defects that can be seen in x-rays. Overbites come from the top (maxillary) teeth protruding outward more than the bottom teeth. Underbites are the exact opposite, they come from the bottom (mandibular) teeth sticking out the mouth more than the top teeth. Overbites and underbites can either be passed on through genetics or caused by losing baby teeth or adult teeth too early. When people suck on their thumbs or leave their children with pacifiers for too long into toddler stage, it can create an overbite or underbite. The best way to view these conditions would be by panoramic projections just because panoramic images do show a full profile of a patient’s skull and dental region. If overbites and underbites are not corrected they can cause issues such as problems with eating, jaw and muscle strain, and even self-esteem problems because of the ugliness appearance. The most effective way to repair this type of deformity would be with braces although there are some more extreme cases that might require jaw re-alignment.
In conclusion, because there are so many different deformities in the dentistry world it is best for dental professionals to understand radiographs and how they work. Some deformities are harmless and need no corrections while other deformities can be more severe, requiring corrective surgery. That is why it is so very important to know how to identify normal anatomy on a dental radiograph. It is also important to know what they are identifying in order to evaluate the conditions at hand and know the best route to take when it comes to repairing and correcting a patient’s smile.

'Gnomon is an extraordinary novel, and one I can’t stop thinking about some weeks after I read it. It is deeply troubling, magnificently strange, and an exhilarating read.' Emily St. John Mandel, author of Station Eleven
‘The best thing he’s ever written … It is an astonishing piece of construction, complex and witty … It is a magnificent achievement … He’s never written a bad book, but this is the one that’ll see him mentioned in the same breath as William Gibson and David Mitchell … This book seriously just destroyed me with joy.’ Warren Ellis
‘Nick Harkaway: bonkers, brilliant and hilarious … Effervescent, clever and entirely fantastic.’ Sunday Times
‘[Harkaway] is the missing, but somehow logical, link between David Mitchell and Terry Pratchett.’ Independent
Near-future Britain is not just a nation under surveillance but one built on it: a radical experiment in personal transparency and ambient direct democracy. Every action is seen, every word is recorded.
Diana Hunter is a refusenik, a has-been cult novelist who lives in a house with its own Faraday cage: no electronic signals can enter or leave. She runs a lending library and conducts business by barter. She is off the grid in a society where the grid is everything. Denounced, arrested and interrogated by a machine that reads your life history from your brain, she dies in custody.
Mielikki Neith is the investigator charged with discovering how this tragedy occurred. Neith is Hunter’s opposite. She is a woman in her prime, a stalwart advocate of the System. It is the most democratic of governments, and Neith will protect it with her life.
When Neith opens the record of the interrogation, she finds not Hunter’s mind but four others, none of which can possibly be there: the banker Constantine Kyriakos, pursued by a ghostly shark that eats corporations; the alchemist Athenais Karthagonensis, jilted lover of St Augustine of Hippo and mother to his dead son, kidnapped and required to perform a miracle; Berihun Bekele, artist and grandfather, who must escape an arson fire by walking through walls – if only he can remember how; and Gnomon, a sociopathic human intelligence from a distant future, falling backwards in time to conduct four assassinations.
Aided – or perhaps opposed – by the pale and paradoxical Regno Lönnrot, Neith must work her way through the puzzles of her case and find the meaning of these impossible lives. Hunter has left her a message, but is it one she should heed, or a lie to lead her into catastrophe? And as the stories combine and the secrets and encryptions of Gnomon are revealed, the question becomes the most fundamental of all: who will live, and who will die?
"This huge sci-fi detective novel of ideas is so eccentric, so audaciously plotted and so completely labyrinthine and bizarre that I had to put it aside more than once to emit Keanu-like “Whoahs” of appreciation ... It’s a technological shaggy-dog tale that threatens to out-Gibson William Gibson ... It is huge fun. And it will melt your brain … 700 odd pages power relentlessly by, only to touch down with the delicacy of a SpaceX rocket on – ah yes – the only possible ending. Whoah indeed. I wanted to give it a round of applause." (Spectator)
"Trying to situate Gnomon in today’s literary landscape indicates how odd a figure it cuts. It has something of the large, fine-grained restlessness of David Foster Wallace, the scale and ambition of Zadie Smith or Jonathan Franzen. But it’s considerably more gonzo than any of them. It oughtn’t to work. It does, though. Gnomon is that rare thing, a book that cannot be accurately summarised or described. It needs to be experienced. And the experience, though it sometimes threatens to overwhelm, is always readable, absorbing, thought-provoking and, in the final analysis, unlike anything else. This novel is its own thing, separated from the continent, not part of the main. Gnomon is an island. And an island you really should visit." (Adam Roberts Literary Review)
"There is a glorious maximalism to the work of Nick Harkaway … Each novel has questioned – with admirable exuberance – one of the pillars of the novel itself … If one can level a criticism at the work of Jorge Luis Borges it would be that it is so perfectly distilled: Harkaway, on the other hand, takes the same themes and produces endless cadenzas around them. There is a brilliance to his writing, in which each idea is stretched and inverted, contorted and deformed. And he has a gift for the ingenious quip, the aphorism, the sensory simile … Gnomon is a kind of metaphysical epic … The surface sparkle belies a deep seriousness … Gnomon is a serious investigation of technological possibility." (Stuart Kelly Times Literary Supplement)
"One of the most remarkable things about the remarkable Nick Harkaway is the irrelevance of his literary heritage. The son of John le Carré, he is very much his own author ... There’s a lot of explanation in this book, but then there’s a lot of everything going on in it. Densely texted pages of ideas, references and similes fizz and sparkle and burst into life in a fireworks display that keeps going ... The writing, too, is rarely anything other than impressive ... Gnomon does reward perseverance. Ludicrously complicated it may be, but it’s also wonderfully good." (Harry Ritchie Sunday Times)
"Nick Harkaway’s most ambitious novel yet. This story of near-future mass surveillance, artificial intelligence and human identity reads as if 11 novels have been crowded into a matter-transporter pod, emerging on the other side weirdly melded. An enormous, shaggy, infuriating, amazing and quite unforgettable piece of fiction, it’s the kind of thing only science fiction can do." (Adam Roberts Guardian, Science-Fiction Books of the Year)
"Opening a novel by Nick Harkaway feels like stepping into a theme park for the mind – every page you turn brings new delights for the mind and the senses. Gnomon is brilliant and terrifying, full of pleasures big and small. Basically, everything I want in a book." (Charles Yu, author of 'How to Live Safely in a Science Fictional Universe')
"[A] prowling deep-sea monster of a novel … A sci-fi detective procedural, violent thriller and multi-layered mystery combine brilliantly to pull us through a profound exploration of power and paranoia, technology and myth … Harkaway dazzles, baffles and teases before guiding us through bloody darkness into understanding." (Daily Mail)
"Woven with witty allusions to everything from obscure texts to pop songs, and warning against an unthinking sacrifice of privacy to paranoia, Gnomon will appeal to fans of William Gibson and David Mitchell." (Metro)

Bill O’Reilly has visited Jon Stewart’s show a number of times (and vice versa), and that means Jon Stewart has found an answer to a difficult question: How do you have a reasonable, watchable conversation with someone whose views are (and will remain) diametrically opposed to yours? In the case of the clip above, Jon Stewart picked a single topic — white privilege — and debated the concept with O’Reilly for a full 12 minutes. It’s such an organic conversation that you forget it’s just another book plug.

After building an impressive Gigafactory in Shanghai, China, Tesla has finally started to ship out cars built there. The first deliveries were made back in December. However, the famed electric vehicle company is now facing scrutiny from the Chinese government for shipping cars with the incorrect computer chips.
According to Automotive News, some buyers of Model 3 EVs built in Shanghai reported that their cars were run with a HW2.5 chip. However, those are not the same as the HW3.0 chip that the cars were ordered with. The HW2.5 chips are less advanced. Specifically, they don’t allow Tesla models to run their full driver assistance programs, like Autopilot or Full-Self Driving (FSD).
“The Ministry of Industry and Information Technology urged Tesla on Tuesday to ensure product consistency, quality and safety, according to a statement on the ministry’s website.
“HW3.0 chips are necessary for the full self-driving mode in Tesla’s driver assistance system, a feature that is optional when customers order Tesla cars.
“In a post on its Weibo account last week, Tesla said the swap was due to a lack of supply of the HW3.0 chips and the company would replace the chip for customers who received cars with the HW2.5 systems.”
Tesla has also come under fire in the United States in the past. However, it wasn’t over wrong computer hardware. Many jurisdictions are struggling to figure out exactly how to regulate and/or legislate for Tesla’s Autopilot and FSD mods. There have been a handful of high profile car accidents so far, including a few deaths, resulting from the misuse of these features.
Tesla’s Chinese factory has otherwise been a huge success. According to Bloomberg, the company delivered one-third of all EVs in China last month — about 4,000 units. That’s including the fact that the county’s automotive industry has been decimated by the coronavirus outbreak, stunting overall sales by close to 80%
Tesla is the first foreign car company to be granted permission by China to build a factory in the country without requiring a partnership with an existing domestic automaker. The fact that Tesla exclusively builds and sell EVs was a major factor in that decision, as the country aims to boost the use of EVs among its citizens.


Bolivia vs Peru
Copa America (Group A)
Date: Tuesday, 18 June 2019
Kick-off at 22:30 UK/ 23:30 CET
Venue: Maracanã (Rio de Janeiro).
Bolivia was unlucky to start against tournament hosts as well as overwhelming favorites Brazil. Quite expectedly, the result went the way of the Selecao.
While the Bolivians did try to swing the game to their favor and succeeded a little bit in that regards, the abundance of talent and experience on the other side was just too much to handle.
Philippe Coutinho, after a low-key club season with Barcelona, exploded to a new life in international colors. In the absence of talisman Neymar Jr, the winger led the attack of the home team and contributed the first two goals. Later, as a formality, a third was added to the tally to complete the 3-0 scoreline.
Peru played a goalless draw with Venezuela to share one point each on the table after the first round of the group stages. The latter had finished in the bottom of the CONMEBOL World Cup Qualifiers, while Peru had taken a ticket, giving the boot to Chile. Despite that confidence, they failed in recording a win in their opener.
The failure to secure the three points seems even more problematic when it is considered that Venezuela was one man short on the pitch due to the ref brandishing a red card.
Bolivia vs Peru Head-to-head (h2h)
- Peru won the last three games in a row.
- Peru scored two or more goals in the last three matches.
- Bolivia last won an encounter ten years back.
- Bolivia has not been able to keep a clean sheet in the last five clashes.
Bolivia vs Peru Prediction
Bolivia lost their last four games in a row and failed to score in all of them. In fact, in their last seven matches, the team could find the back of the net in just one. Going on, they are winless in their last eight fixtures and was so in 16 of their last 17.
Importantly, Peru has been dominating this opponent for quite some time in face-to-face clashes. To quote a stat, Bolivia stands winless in such encounters for the last eleven years or so. They have not been able to record a clean sheet in the last five such battles and lost the last three ties on the trot as well. They also conceded two or more goals in all three of these games.
Also, since the other match in the group is Venezuela vs Brazil, which the latter will win most likely, a victory in this game will take Peru to the second spot. And as such, their chances to get to the quarters increases manifold.
Expect Peru to have the match in control.
Bolivia vs Peru Betting Tips
Peru to Win @ 1.50 (1/2)
Peru to Win to Nil @ 1.75 (6/5).

RIHANNA has been sharing a secret fling for the past eight weeks — with Demi
Moore’s ex Ashton Kutcher.
The 24-year-old singer hit if off with Two and a Half Men hunk Ashton at a
mutual pal’s house party in Los Angeles last December.
The Umbrella singer is so besotted with Ashton, 34, that she has asked about
joining his Kabbalah group.
Rihanna and Ashton, who subscribes to the mystical religion, have been meeting
up for a series of late-night trysts after the singer returned to LA to
record her latest album.
She dropped in at his mansion around midnight on Thursday and stayed for four
hours before being taken away in a car.
One source said: “The flirting began as soon as Rihanna and Ashton met and
swapped numbers. That moved on to texts and arranging to meet. They snuck
off to a Santa Monica hotel a few weeks ago.
“They are two single people having a fling, so thought it would be best to
meet in secret.
“Rihanna has told friends he’s funny and cute. Both of them love a good
time and think they’re too busy for anything serious just yet. She’s
starting to enquire about Kabbalah sessions with his rabbi.”
Ashton has been single since November when actress ex Demi Moore filed for
divorce — after party
girl Sara Leal said she’d slept with him on his sixth wedding anniversary.
Ghost star Demi, 49 — who wore a Kabbalah string round her wrist — has since
for exhaustion, substance abuse and an eating disorder. A source said:
“Ashton does not want to rub a new relationship in her face. She’s still
“He’s a good guy and, with all Demi’s
recent health problems, people have forgotten that.”
Rihanna hasn’t had a serious boyfriend since 22-year-old Chris Brown — who
once beat her up.
Although she comes from a strict Christian family in Barbados, friends say the
singer is open to investigating Kabbalah.
A source said: “Rihanna does not go to church any more because she’s simply
too busy. She respects the religion enormously though.
“She is curious about Kabbalah so has started asking questions. She’s open to
new things and has always been a very spiritual girl.
“If she and Ashton are getting really close, she wants to be able to


For some, it was confirmation of a long time internet conspiracy that Apple deliberately slows down old iPhones, forcing people to buy new ones.
When Apple admitted it has for years been secretly slowing down old iPhone batteries, lots of customers were understandably annoyed.
Apple said that by using software updates, it had been slowing down depleting batteries on old iPhone models in order to prevent them from shutting down the iPhone altogether as the battery ran out of juice.
Apple said it used software updates to improve power management and “avoid unexpected shutdowns on iPhone 6, iPhone 6 Plus, iPhone 6s Plus, and iPhone SE.”
However, users were not convinced and the whole saga now dubbed “battery gate” by the international media has turned into a PR disaster for Apple.
In a bid to try and stem the backlash from disgruntled users, Apple then announced that it was slashing the price of replacement iPhone batteries.
The offer seemed the least Apple could do to try and make it up to customers who by now were feeling pretty let down by a company for which many of them had been so loyal.
But less than one month after the announcement of the replacement iPhone battery scheme, it has now been reported that iPhone users may have to wait until March before they can replace the battery on their iPhone.
The delay is due to Apple experiencing major shortages in batteries, MacRumors reported, with iPhone 6+ batteries in particularly short supply.
News of the delays comes from internal Apple documents shared with Apple Stores and Apple authorized service providers.
The length of delays vary between countries but users have been told they can expect to wait at least two weeks for iPhone 6 and iPhone 6S Plus battery replacements.
Earlier this month Apple said that until December 31st 2018 the cost of a replacement iPhone battery will be reduced from 2,900 baht to 1,000 baht.

Good heavens, indeed. This isn't, as Charles said, really a question for philosophers. But just on an ordinary human level, it will strike most people that your husband is behaving pretty appallingly, in a way that probably reveals a deep fear or even horror of female sexuality. His response is that of the frightened emotional bully. In the face of his absurd reaction, it must be difficult not to feel crushed, and begin to doubt your own good sense. But of course it wasn't a big deal to go the party (with all the female banter and amused teasing and gibes at male inadequacies -- or so I'm told!); and you need to hold on to that thought in the face of the bullying, and not start to doubt your own sense of moral proportion. To echo Charles again, good luck!

Saturday, October 26, 2013
The daughter of my very close friend is celebrating her wedding today. She and her new husband are very special and dear to my heart. I had to make an elegant card to show them how happy I am to see them as husband and wife!
I wish that I could capture the sparkle of this card in photographs. I used Spellbinders dies to cut the shapes. The blingy paper is some glittered cardstock. It's absolutely gorgeous all on it's own! The kind of paper you just don't want to cut. You want to stare at it and enjoy it's shininess! But then when you finally do cut it and make something with it, it grows even more beautiful!
The upper layer of cardstock I cut and then dry embossed. I love how dressy it turned out!
The flowers are from Prima. I thought they were just the right amount of color. They added a bit of whimsy and nature to the card as well.
A card like this couldn't just go in an ordinary envelope! Of course not, it needs a pretty one! And one that can fit such a thick card!! So I made one. I used double sided-adhesive cut on my Silhouette Cameo to create the hearts and initials for decorating the envelope. After putting the adhesive in place, I then coated it with the different colors of glitter. Oh more bling!!! YES!!
The crinkly, May Arts Ribbon made the perfect closure. It's nice and shiny too!

“Be original. Drink Dr. Pepper” -1950s Dr. Pepper slogan
Thank you Dr. Pepper. I knew I was missing something in my goal to be original! I’ll go buy a 6 pack!
When Dr. Pepper wrote this slogan, they were appealing to Rugged Individualism, in other words, determined independence. Dr. Pepper is attempting to appeal to the opinion of a small (but opinionated) group of people. The idea is to be different, which many people think is the “cool” thing to be.. different.
I understand why the idea of different attracts people, even I am attracted to it. For example, I didn't want to be in a sorority when I came to college because I didn't want to do what every freshman did. Instead, I did something that wasn't as popular, (joined a learning community). It still worked out, but I also see the fruitfulness that comes from the popular Greek life!
Even Donald Trump tried out this fallacy in 2015:
“I think the big problem this country has is being politically correct. I’ve been challenged by so many people and I don’t, frankly, have time for total political correctness. And to be honest with you, this country doesn’t have time, either.”
So, why do people use this fallacy?
Many companies and leaders use this fallacy to play upon the desire to be above the crowd, better than others, or a leader rather than a follower. People pride themselves for not falling to popular vote, but to be rational and to be oneself. This fallacy highlights that you must be making decisions for yourself, be very independent, and strong in yourself.
Even though being rational and thoughtful in your decisions is great, this doesn’t mean the answer has to be the unpopular one. When something becomes popular, it is obviously for a reason. Riding your bike to work or taking public transit is becoming more and more popular because it is saving money and gas emissions, rather than gas hogs like Hummers becoming the popular car to drive. No, Hummers became unpopular because of their horrible gas emissions. (Usually, an idea is unpopular for a reason)
So yes, be rational when you make decisions, but don’t base that decision off the idea that since something may be unpopular and different, that it is the better one. Aren't the popular kids the "cool" ones?

Artificial intelligence (AI) will be used more and more in the healthcare industry as a result of the complexity and growth of data in the sector. Payers, care providers, and life sciences organizations currently use a variety of AI technologies. The use of AI in healthcare and ethical concerns are also covered.
When it comes to healthcare businesses, AI companies have flourished. Many healthcare companies are still in the dark about the amazing things artificial intelligence can achieve for their business. Given that, why don’t we discuss the state of AI in healthcare today?
Everything about this idea will be covered in detail, including the changes it has brought, the difficulties in applying AI to healthcare, the advantages it has provided, and other important information. Let’s start this discussion with a cup of freshly prepared coffee!
The Role of AI in Healthcare
There are a wide variety of applications for AI due to the ongoing growth of data in contemporary medical institutions and the quick advancement of analytical tools. What function does artificial intelligence services in healthcare, then?
In addition to automating several chores, AI may support cutting-edge therapeutic procedures, boost research, and provide new technology possibilities for individualized care. In the end, AI solutions can enhance patient-provider communication, enhance therapeutic outcomes, and create value.
Investors are keenly interested in the healthcare sector as they recognize the advantages of AI. According to research, 111 agreements totalling $2.5 billion were made by healthcare AI startups globally in the first quarter of 2021. When compared to the $1 billion raised in the first quarter of 2020, that represents a 140% increase.
All parties involved in the healthcare sector have enormous potential thanks to AI. Let’s delve deeper into the advantages and dangers of artificial intelligence and see how a medical facility might adopt the technology to improve its results.
Benefits of AI in Healthcare
We are confident that you are already in awe after learning about the amazing advancements made by AI in the healthcare sector. Let’s examine the effects and advantages that the notion of AI has brought to the healthcare sector:
Healthcare providers may now provide brief diagnoses thanks to AI-driven platforms based on information about the patient’s current and past health conditions.
With this method, the use of ai in healthcare start-ups have encountered several symptoms and have received the appropriate diagnoses. Healthcare experts can draw logical conclusions quickly and prepare a strategy for potential hazards in the future, along with workable methods to deal with them.
Proper Surgery Support
Thankfully, AI has taken off in robotic applications and has been a big success!
AI surgical systems are now accessible to assist with every movement, and they do so with the utmost precision, thanks to the advent of AI in healthcare. Meaning that skilled medical personnel may now carry out complex procedures with almost no risk of adverse effects, blood loss, or pain. As a result, the patient’s chances of making a quick recovery rise.
Advancements have been made thanks to artificial intelligence, particularly in the field of healthcare.
The globe has seen AI dominate the healthcare sector after seeing the advances AI has brought to the sector. Digital tools powered by AI aid patients in diagnosis and therapy.
Applications have been developed that are noteworthy for allowing national and international healthcare institutions to collaborate and effectively help those in need.
Data collection is a key component of all studies. Healthcare professionals who have access to AI can gather vast amounts of data from numerous sources. They can act on vast and constantly expanding amounts of information as a result, leading to more efficient analysis. Research becomes more exact and accurate when it is based on real-time data. AI in healthcare helps identify early symptoms, and telemedicine tools greatly facilitate monitoring patient improvement.
Lowering Heath Stress
And finally, terrible events like burnout happen to doctors everywhere. About 50% of general practitioners report feeling stressed out at work due to deadlines, intense emotions, and other circumstances. AI lessens the stress on medical workers by automating jobs and optimizing processes.
Types of AI Advancements in Healthcare
NLP – Natural Language Processing
Since it has been decades since artificial intelligence first appeared, its researchers have been working to precisely understand human language. The idea of natural language processing, or NLP, is useful for a variety of tasks, including text translation, text analysis, and speech recognition.
To maximize the use of these insights, the generation, understanding, and classification of texts are among the core NLP functions. In addition, NLP serves as an analytical tool for unstructured patient data. To conduct conversational AI, it automatically generates reports about the diagnoses of patients and records their communications.
Robotics Process Automation
In reality, robotic process automation has little to do with ML. They are server-based computer applications that employ automation technologies and can learn, simulate, and display rule-based business processes.
RPA is relatively small compared to other artificial intelligence systems. It is also simple to program and monitor because it lacks a clear user interface.
Here, we’re discussing machine learning, one of the most popular and widely applied types of artificial intelligence. ML is nothing more than a statistical approach that optimizes model fit to data to extract useful insights from the data.
You might be astonished to learn that every year, over 200,000 industrial robots are placed throughout the world. Industrial robots, as their name implies, are designed to carry out certain activities, such as repositioning, lifting, welding, assembling products, and so forth.
Robots have become more proficient at pacing as the years go by. They are constructed and designed in such a way that training them to move or transition to another duty does not require a lot of work.
Rule-based Expert System
Since a few decades ago, they have primarily been used in “clinical decision support” applications in the field of AI in healthcare, with healthcare entrepreneurs currently making the best use of them. Numerous electronic health record (EHR) providers today include a set of regulations with their systems.
These expert systems need the assistance of human specialists to incorporate a set of regulations about a certain knowledge domain.
When there are many rules, the task gets more difficult since the rules often clash and finally fall out of harmony.
Key Challenges for AI in Healthcare
We all follow the law, but when it comes to legal matters, there are countless confidentiality and privacy rules that apply to medical data all around the world.
Conditions should be put in place, and medical institutions must also verify strict adherence to these regulations and be in charge of collecting and using patient data. The benefits of flexibility and the upholding of the law can then be appropriately balanced.
Unanimity among people
Disagreements and differences of opinion are inevitable whenever new technology, like artificial intelligence, is introduced to the realm of technology.
Many patients and medical experts are hesitant about artificial intelligence occupying a significant portion of the healthcare sector.
Chances that AI will encounter a roadblock
Machines are human-like in that they occasionally make mistakes. Well, sometimes even machines make mistakes.
Words to Wrap
The patient is at the center of AI in healthcare. To ensure that doctors can grasp some of these AI solutions used in hospitals, we also need to be mindful of how transparent we are in doing so. The idea of artificial intelligence in the healthcare sector has raised the bar for that sector.
Making some of the graphics and diagrams comprehensible and understandable for all data scientists requires deep learning lessons, which are equally crucial.
You may see for yourself the value of the breakthroughs we’ve listed for the top uses of AI in the healthcare sector, particularly regarding healthcare startups. We anticipate that by this point, you have a thorough understanding of AI.

Nadda's statements were misconstrued. The leader said electing Congress would hamper undergoing projects in the state during a political rally.
Election campaigning for Karnataka's assembly polls officially ended on May 8 and the state goes to vote tomorrow to elect leaders for 224 constituency seats. Amid election season when Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) President JP Nadda held a roadshow in Vijayanagara on May 7, the official handle of the Janata Dal-Secular's (JDS) tweeted, "If the BJP loses in the state, all the projects coming from the center will be stopped @JPNadda said. Mr. Nadda, what kind of leader are you to 'bandh' (close) Center grants."
The tweet garnered 407 likes and 17,500 views. State Congress President DK Shivakumar, former state Chief Minister Siddramaiah, and actor Prakash Raj shared the same narrative and criticized BJP and Nadda. However, the claim is misleading.
According to The Hindu, Nadda held a road show at Harapanahalli in Vijayanagara district supporting BJP candidate Karunakar Reddy on May 7. Logically Facts accessed the live broadcast of Nadda's road show, and at the 59:20 mark, Nadda said that if Siddaramaiah's government comes to power, there will be a break for all central government schemes like Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana and the Pradhan Mantri Kisan Samman Nidhi, and urged people to vote for BJP if they need to see development. He also added that the BJP government increased the quota for Dalits, tribals, Vokkaligas, and Lingayats while introducing internal reservations for Schedule Castes (SC), but Siddaramaiah would reverse the decisions.
During the rally, he said, "If the Siddaramaiah government comes to power, it will halt the work. You won't get houses under PM Awas Yojana. Road repairing work will be stopped and there will be no question of laying new roads." He added, "Siddaramaiah says that he would take back the increased reservations to SCs, STs, Vokkaligas and Lingayats. He is not for giving anything but for taking back." Deccan Herald also reported the same.
Nadda was referring to Congress when saying that it will halt projects in Karnataka if the opposition comes to power. He did not say that the BJP-run central government would cut off the projects if the party failed to win 2023 Karnataka elections.
Nadda's statement about the Congress during an election rally has been misconstrued. He did not say that the BJP will halt projects in Karnataka. Therefore, we have marked this claim as misleading.

LA CROSSE, Wis. (WKBT) - In September, the La Crosse Collaborative to End Homelessness set a goal to end veteran homelessness by Christmas.
Just last week, the group reached that goal early, but they stress more work needs to be done.
In less than 100 days, the collaborative placed 14 homeless veterans in permanent housing throughout La Crosse, surpassing the group's expectations.
But a tragedy late last week has sent the group a reminder that their work is far from finished.
"It's been a wild ride for the last 100 days," chair for the collaborative Kim Cable said.
And in that time, the Collaborative to End Homelessness has reached a lofty goal.
"Our goal of housing veterans is the goal we met last week on Friday," Cable said. "In fact, we exceeded our goal. Our goal was to house 12 veterans by Christmas, and we have housed 14."
The collaborative says better communication has made a big difference in achieving that goal.
"What's new I think is that we've brought the veterans agencies into the fold, and that we are connecting with them now on a very regular basis," Cable said.
As a landlord and collaborative member, Capt. Jason Melby of the La Crosse Police Department says the group's efforts with landlords have been effective as well.
"The hesitations that some of the landlords may have I would say, would be largely alleviated by the fact that there are people to work with these veterans to help them get back on their feet," Melby said.
But last Friday, the body of 37-year-old Jordan Valentino was found in downtown La Crosse. He was one of eight veterans in the collaborative who were still waiting for housing. While the cause of death has not yet been determined, his death serves as a reminder of the importance of their mission.
"Knowing he was outside on a night when it's cold in December, I think drives home our point that we're trying to make here and that people need housing," Cable said. "We need to keep doing this work in the community. It's very important, and lives are at stake, and I don't think we can forget that."
But as one goal is reached, the group plans to form another 100-day goal early next year.
"I think we'll just build on the foundation that we've laid on this first 100-day cycle, to launch us into another round of good work," Cable said.
There are still a few homeless veterans waiting for housing.That's because as the group searched for housing for the original 12 homeless veterans, they discovered more veterans in La Crosse.
The goal is to get to "functional zero," which means that they would have no homeless veterans waiting for housing.
A homeless veteran found in that time could be housed in less than 30 days.
The collaborative hopes to begin a new 100-day campaign in early 2017.

Old photos hold a special place in our hearts, as they capture memories that we can never relive. They help us reminisce about the good old days, and bring a smile to our faces.
But what if we could bring those memories to life and bring the people in those photos back to life? With the advent of new technology, it is now possible to animate still images and bring a new dimension to your cherished memories.
In this article, we will discuss the top 5 free websites for animating old photos in 2023. We will look into their key features, and prices while also detailing their pros and cons. So, without any ado, let’s get started!
Animating still images refers to the process of taking a static picture and adding movement to it, making the image come to life. Animating old photos is a modern way of bringing new life to old memories. By animating still images, we can make them come alive and tell a story that might have been lost in time. This technique can be used to revive old family photos, historical images, and even artwork, giving them a new lease on life.
One of the most popular ways to animate still images is by using special software that allows you to add movement to specific parts of the image. For example, you can make a person in an old photo appear to be walking, or make the eyes of your grandmother in a static old photo blink. This process is called compositing and it involves cutting out individual elements from the original image and adding them to a new background. The result is a moving image that brings a new level of excitement and engagement to old memories.
Animating still images is a great way to preserve old memories and share them with new generations. By making still images move, we can bring old stories to life, and give them new relevance in the modern world. Whether it’s an old family photo or a historical image, animating still images is a way to make the past come alive and keep our memories and stories alive for generations to come.Also read: Best CRM software for 2021

Casey Reinhardt—the name may ring a bell from her stint on season two of MTV’s Laguna Beach She was the rich, misunderstood new girl that most of the other girls (including queen bee Kristen Cavallari) were not so nice to. “Doing Laguna Beach was hard because I was the new girl. I always lived in Laguna Beach but always went to private school so that’s why I didn’t know any of the kids,” Casey explained to us while on a mini vacation on Miami’s South Beach. “They edited me to look like a ditzy, blonde with no brain but I got into college and have my charity foundation. They filmed all that but chose not to show it. I don’t regret doing the show though because it opened so many doors for me.”
Casey’s older brother Doug was originally supposed to join her on Laguna Beach but he was had the opportunity to play professional baseball for the Angels instead. Fast forward a few years later and you may recognize him as one of Lauren Conrad’s many suitors on The Hills. “I was supposed have more of a role on The Hills too but relationships and storylines changed,” Casey explains. Doug and Lauren’s relationship was short-lived but Casey is still in touch with both Lauren and her best friend Lo. Doug recently ended a relationship with Paris Hilton.
Since her reality TV days, Casey has gone on to major in Psychology at Pepperdine University, runs the Casey Foundation that focuses on raising awareness for children’s issues and kicked off an acting career. She just filmed a role in a thriller/horror flick called Lure that’s currently looking for distribution. “We filmed all night long while I was taking classes. I would be on set at 5pm, wrap at 6am, sleep for two hours, go to class and then head back to set,” Casey says. “The cast is all upcoming actors so hopefully someone will have a breakout role from it—like me!”
While Casey explores new TV and film roles, she’s also a big workout fanatic with tips on how to live a healthy lifestyle no matter what your schedule. She suggests doing at least 30 minutes of cardio a day and getting creative if you do not belong to a gym. “I live in Santa Monica right by the Santa Monica stairs so I run up and down them every day,” she explains. “It’s free and easy. I just put on sunscreen and go because I love being outside with the fresh air and sun.” As for eating healthy, Casey recommends buying things like fresh fruit and produce in small quantities. “I go to the grocery store or farmers market and just buy what I need for a few days,” she says. “If I get smaller quantities, then things don’t go bad.” Being on TV hasn’t wrecked Casey’s self image even with the pressure to be thin. “I’m really comfortable with who I am,” she says. “I have strong support system and my parents have always pumped me up and said, ‘Love who you are no matter what size. This is your body and this is who you are so own it.’” Her Hollywood role model is Cameron Diaz. “She is like me – athletic and goofy and it seems like Hollywood didn’t get to her head,” Casey explains. “She’s so fun and loves to workout and have good time. She just is who she is and surfs and is just amazing that way.”

Ohio vs. Nevada Odds, Betting Trends: Late Money Pounding Potato Bowl Spread
Photo by Matthew Pearce/Icon Sportswire via Getty Images. Pictured: Ohio Bobcats quarterback Nathan Rourke (12)
- Late money is pounding the spread for today's Potato Bowl (3:30 p.m. ET) matchup between Ohio and Nevada.
- Using The Action Network's college football betting trends, we detail how one-sided action is moving this line.
In what is becoming a pattern this bowl season, bettors waited until the hours leading up to kickoff — when limits are highest — to take a position on the spread for Friday’s Potato Bowl between Ohio and Nevada.
And not only is the money hitting the same side of this game, it sent betting odds skyrocketing since just this morning.
Using The Action Network’s betting tools, let’s examine Ohio vs. Nevada odds and betting trends and how late money is forcing oddsmakers to significantly adjust the Potato Bowl spread.
Odds as of Friday at 1:10 p.m. ET and via FanDuel, where Action Network users get a risk-free bet up to $500.
Ohio vs. Nevada Odds, Betting Trends: Potato Bowl Spread
The spread for today’s matchup opened at Ohio -6.5 back on Dec. 8 and 79% of bettors are laying the points with the Bobcats.
And while spread tickets are an important piece of data, The Action Network’s real money percentages tell the full story of how this game is being bet.
Eighty-four percent of dollars wagered are also on Ohio, providing a clear reason as to why oddsmakers have adjusted this number up to -10.
In fact, this line has popped from Bobcats -7.5 as recently as this morning to the current line, which tells us that the Ohio money is so overwhelming that oddsmakers have continued to push the spread to 10.
The key question now surrounds whether buyback finally shows up to grab Nevada at the important number of +10.

‘On the occasion of that historic date, we call on all dignified and revolutionary Cubans to participate actively and vote for our Constitution. That day will mark the 124 years of the resumption of the war for independence,’ the lawmaker Jose Castañeda said at the plenary.
For his part, Victor Manuel Gutierrez predicted at the second ordinary session of the 9th Legislature, which opened on Friday, that the referendum will be another victory of the Revolution.
Reina de la Caridad Torres urged all Cubans to support the document, which was enriched by people’s opinions, because ‘it is the one the Revolution needs more than ever’.
She described the new Constitution as advanced and modern, and a fruit of a popular consultation held from August 13 to November 15 with participation of nearly nine million people who submitted some 780,000 proposals, many of which were added to the Draft Constitution that must be approved today.
At the plenay, the parliamentarian Lourdes Caballero called to vote yes on the 229-article document and to abide by what it says.
Let us not waste a minute, let us make each article a reality, Caballero underlined.(Prensa Latina)
