A capillary rheometer, like the CEAST SR20, can find the flow characteristics of compounded thermoplastic elastomers used in the production of tires.
A CEAST Capillary Rheometer has been used to test the flow behavior of plastic cap liners of bottle cap to prevent leaks with a tight mold and quality seal.
ISO 11443 and ASTM D3835 are specifications for determining the flow properties of polymeric materials at temperatures lower and higher than the melting point.
With a CEAST SR50 Capillary Rheometer, Instron was able to test silicone materials to determine which can undergo extrusion at room temperature, observing ISO 11443.
A controller can test how much a mold will shrink by placing it in a high-pressure chamber with controlled temperature, volume, and pressure, following ISO 17744.
For ISO 22007, testing technicians can determine thermal conductivity data easily by using Capillary Rheometers with applicable accessory.
Instead of manual cleaning methods, the Integrated Barrel Cleaning Device is used to easily clean Melt Flow Testers after every test to ensure accuracy.

Influence of Emotional Maturity on Suicidal Ideation among University Undergraduates in Osun State, Nigeria
Emotional maturity partly explains the variations in individuals' reaction to the same issue under the same circumstances, the thought process has been linked to either high, moderate or low level of emotional maturity. Suicide ideation is the first stage in the development process of suicide behaviour, it involves thoughts about killing oneself as a means of escape from unpleasant life experience(s). Recently development in the study of suicide as revealed several factors that could influence the process of ideation-to-action framework. One of such factor((emotional maturity) is employed in this study to examine it influence on suicide ideation among the studied population using descriptive survey research design. Multi-stage sampling techniques was employed for selection of samples. Three universities were selected using ownership as basis for stratification, four faculties were selected using commonality in the three universities as basis, out of the total population of 38,348 students in the three selected universities, one hundred and twenty (120) students were selected from each faculty totaling one thousand four hundred and forty(1440) samples. An adapted instrument titled Questionnaire on Influence of Emotional Maturity on Suicidal Ideation (QIEMSI)’’ adapted from Desrossier and Reynod suicide ideation scale were used to elicit information from respondents using convenient sampling technique. Data collected were analysed using SPSS.To address research question on the influence of demographic factor on suicide ideation, results showed that items on the demographic section of the research instrument (Birth order, Family size, Parenting, Family type, Final decision maker and parent occupation) had no significant influence on suicidal ideation except for family size which showed negative correlation. However, analysed data showed that emotional maturity exert a negative influence on students’ suicide ideation. This study concludes that emotional maturity and family size exerts a combined negative influence on suicidal ideation among university undergraduates in Osun State, therefore, this study pose it that the greater the emotional maturity, the larger the family size, the lower the tendency to conceive suicide ideas, plan suicide and commit suicide. Based on the findings of this study, university authorities show put in place online counselling platforms where suicide ideates can seek help under anonymity to prevent the burden of stigmatization.

I am somewhat obsessed at the moment by Inception. The film, the app, and now I’ve bought the soundtrack too, which is a very good one by Hans Zimmer. But in some ways it just isn’t as good as using the Inception app, which is a much more immersive experience.
Increasingly I find that I prefer reactive and generative music to linear music or recorded music. I think also that it’ll be a prompt for finally getting into doing some RJDJ scene work and Pd building.
This is the next story after Zagreus, and is a very strange one indeed. I’m half way through it and I’ve no idea what is going to happen at all or how it will end up. In fact, so far I’m not even very sure about what the story is at the moment.
It is a strange one that’s for sure. I’m sort of looking forward to the next disk, but I’m also slightly concerned that it will end up not being a story at all. I guess I’ll just have to brave it out.
I haven’t seen this for ages and noticed it was on Film 4. Even though it’s a very old film now it’s still a good story, and the concept’s been used many many times in newer films. I may have to buy this film now.

Semta Apprenticeship Service in Dartford
Skills expert Semta has joined forces with the Leigh University Technical College (UTC) in a bid to deliver more high quality apprenticeships in north Kent.
The employer-led Semta Apprenticeship service has contacted businesses in the UTC’s catchment area around Dartford to support them to take on engineering apprentices.
Steve Leahey, the Principal of the Leigh UTC said, “When we set up two years ago, our vision was to deliver engineering apprenticeships. We needed someone with the experience, understanding of the business and the sector so it made perfect sense to work with Semta Apprenticeship Service.”
Jay Wright, Leigh’s Director of ApprenticeshipsM said: “We have taken on nine apprentices since September 2016 from Kenard, Stead and Wilkins, Boddingtons Plastics and Cubic Transportation Systems. They are doing very well and had very positive feedback from their employers about the course and how well the apprentices are settling in.”
Tom Stone, is an apprentice with Kenard Engineering, which specialises in high precision manufacturing of components for the aerospace, oil and gas and telecoms industries, studying a Level 4 in manufacturing engineering at Leigh.
He said he decided on an apprenticeship: “Because it is hands on and practical and gives me the opportunity to learn skills and then use them in a work environment. “There is a large workshop at Leigh that has industry standard tools and equipment that we can use and make parts on and learn new processes and learn about new tools.
His colleague Harry Tindall, also from Kenard, said: “I am not really an academic person and I don’t think uni would the best path for me at the moment. I’m also getting paid to learn new skills every day. The UTC has so much equipment to help evolve your skills and make you a better engineer.”

BOWLING AGAINST HUNGER
The college football bowl season, which begins this weekend, celebrates food and eating almost as much as it celebrates gridiron excellence. Just consider how many of this season’s bowls – Bowls! The very word comes straight from the kitchen -- are sponsored by food companies or named after food:
Four are sponsored by restaurants: the Little Caesars, Chick-fil-A and Outback Bowls, and, the newest addition to this category, the Beef ‘O’ Brady’s St. Petersburg Bowl.
Two are sponsored by a popular snack food: the Tostitos Fiesta Bowl and the Tostitos BCS National Championship Game. (Also, what’s a Fiesta without food?)
Two are named after foods: the Orange Bowl and the Sugar Bowl.
Three are played in foodie-sounding stadiums: the Florida Citrus Bowl in Orlando hosts the Champs Sports and Capital One Bowls, and the Beef ‘O’ Brady’s pigskin extravaganza is played at Tropicana Field in St. Petersburg. (A most fortuitous pairing: juice to wash down the beef.)
All this football mania is topped off, of course, by the national tailgating ritual and professional football championship known as the Super Bowl. That title conjures up images of a really, really big bowl of food, appropriate for a country that has long fancied itself as the world’s breadbasket.
But wait! This season, at long last, there’s a bowl game sponsored by a food company that will benefit those without enough to eat: the Kraft Fight Hunger Bowl. It will be played in San Francisco on Jan. 9 and feature Nevada vs Boston College.
“We’re the only game directly connected to a social cause,” says Doug Kelly of the Kraft Fight Hunger Bowl Committee. (The uDrove Humanitarian Bowl in Boise, Idaho, is connected to the World Sports Humanitarian Hall of Fame.)
“It was Kraft’s initiative,” says Kelly, who explains that the giant food company took over title sponsorship of what used to be called the Emerald Bowl, which was named for the snack nut brand of the previous sponsor, Diamond Foods. “Kraft was looking for a forum where they could draw attention to the issue of hunger.”
Raising the clamor on hunger through football; now that’s something to cheer about. Cutting through the gluttony of the holidays to shout: Remember those who struggle to put food on the table for their family!
“We have one goal: raise awareness and resources to give as many as 20 million meals to Feeding America,” says Stephen Chriss, Kraft’s senior director of corporate scale and marketing partnerships.
The Fight Hunger Bowl culminates a Kraft marketing program called Huddle to Fight Hunger, which began this past fall as the football season kicked off. It was the company’s largest multi-brand initiative, involving such iconic names as Oreo, Ritz, Planters, Kool-Aid, Maxwell House, Oscar Mayer, Miracle Whip and the ubiquitous Kraft Macaroni and Cheese. Consumers of these products didn’t donate money directly, but their actions prompted Kraft to make contributions. As Chriss explains: “Any coupon redeemed, we donated a meal. If you went to our website and joined the huddle, or our Facebook page and clicked ‘Like’, we donated a meal.”
As of yesterday, that total was more than 18.9 million meals that will be donated to Feeding America, the nation’s food banking network. And the aid comes at a critical time, as the economic crisis and high unemployment have created unprecedented demand at the thousands of food banks served by Feeding America.
As you pour over the football statistics in the coming weeks, consider these stats from a national survey reported by Feeding America earlier this year:
Through its network of food banks and the agencies they serve, Feeding America provides emergency food assistance to 37 million people each year, including nearly 14 million children. That’s a whopping 46% increase over just four years ago. It means that one in eight Americans receives food assistance from the nation’s charitable food distribution system at some time during the year. Feeding America distributes more than 3 billion pounds of food and grocery products to 61,000 agencies nationwide every year.
“The numbers are still continuing to rise, the food banks are still struggling,” says Phil Zepeda, Feeding America’s senior vice president of communications. “The need has never been greater.”
So, as the Fight Hunger Bowl nears, the push toward the 20 million meals goal intensifies. The Nevada and Boston College fan bases will be engaging in a texting competition that will prompt more Kraft donations. And the bowl committee in San Francisco is donating three meals for each ticket sold to the city’s leading social service agencies: Glide Memorial Church, St. Anthony’s Dining Room and the San Francisco Food Bank.
“We didn’t just want to be spectators,” says Doug Kelly of the bowl committee. “We wanted to take an active role in the community.”
You can watch the inaugural Kraft Fight Hunger Bowl on ESPN. And don’t leave the TV at halftime to get something to eat. For that is when Kraft will present a check to Feeding America so others can eat.
Feeding America calculates that every dollar it receives helps it secure and distribute 7 meals through local food banks. So the donation of 20 million meals should yield a check of about $3 million.
The money is a valuable contribution. But for the hungry of America, and for the one billion hungry around the world, the clamor-raising of the Fight Hunger Bowl is priceless.
For as you watch that game or any of the games this holiday season, remember this: Far too many bowls remain empty.

Do you hear this expression from your own lips or those around you? I do. There’s so much uncertainty right now and so many people wonder about what will happen next. What will happen this year. This month. Perhaps even this day.
Social isolation and being house bound due to lockdown measures taken in my city is a challenge and sometimes I do wonder what will happen. The mind can tend towards the negative, but ‘what if‘ works both ways. And this is how I’m training myself to think.
It is so easy to imagine the worst case scenario, but let’s be honest, does that ever help? No! So I’ve been using my idle thoughts to dream and imagine possibilities. This inspires and energizes me to use this time to be creative and active.
What are some of your dreams? If you could make one change in your life, what would it be? What is one activity you’d like to dedicate more time to and what positive outcome would you like to see?
Go for it, fellow adventurer, and if you want to send a chat to let me know what quest you’re undertaking, I’d love to hear it.

Chance The Rapper is making the rounds in Jamaica, linking up with Sizzla Kalonji and Popcaan the Unruly Boss as he plans a Jamaican staging of the Black Star Line Festival.
Sizzla dropped a brief post of himself and Chance the Rapper yesterday as they posed in front of a column of large speakers.
The rapper seeking to organise a Jamaican staging and seems to be making the rounds with prospective artistes.
The Grammy Award-winning songwriter and producer had revealed his aspiration to bring the mega-festival to the island following its success in Accra, Ghana in January during an interview with late night talk show host Jimmy Fallon recently..
“We’re actually thinking about hosting the next one in Kingston, Jamaica,” Chance the Rapper told Fallon.
” We’re still working it out in our heads. And we love the city of Accra and Ghana and West Africa as a whole. We just want to continue to, like, create community in other spaces.”
Several members of Chance’s family are reportedly Garveyists. The Black Star Line is a reference to Jamaican national hero Marcus Garvey’s shipping line (1919 – 1922 ) of the same name. Garvey was the organizer of the Universal Negro Improvement Association (UNIA), and the shipping line was created to facilitate the transportation of goods and eventually African Americans throughout the African global economy. It derived its name from the White Star Line, a line whose success Garvey felt he could duplicate.
Chance is currently working on a new album titled Star Line Gallery also inspired by the Black Star Line.

By Gilbert Kreijger
THE HAGUE, April 26 (Reuters) - Dutch political parties
reached a deal on a 2013 budget on Thursday, averting crisis and
enabling a country that has championed euro fiscal discipline to
meet a European Union deadline set for Monday.
The Dutch government had resigned on Monday in a standoff
over budget-cutting plans, creating a political vacuum in one of
the euro zone's few remaining AAA-rated countries.
Dutch politicians, some of whom have lectured Greece on
getting its finances in order, say Thursday's deal will cut the
deficit to the EU target ceiling of 3 percent.
Failure to come up with a deal would have led to uncertainty
until elections in September, feeding angst in financial markets
about the sustainability of Spanish and other euro zone debt.
"I am very pleased that a number of parties have taken
responsibility. It was necessary - to restore confidence with
the people in the country, but also to tackle the crisis,"
Christian Union leader Arie Slob told broadcaster RTL.
The Dutch budget plan for 2013 now has the backing of the
majority of members of the Dutch parliament after the opposition
GreenLeft party said it would support the plan.
A caretaker coalition government of the Christian Democrats
Party and the Liberals had already backed the plan, as did two
smaller opposition parties, according to public broadcaster NOS.
Together with the GreenLeft, they now have enough members to
get the plan through parliament.
Under the deal, the deficit will be brought down to 3
percent next year through a combination of social service cuts
and higher taxes, according to national broadcaster RTL.
The Liberals parliament leader, Stef Blok, told NOS that the
government's macroeconomic forecaster CPB would still need to
calculate exactly what percentage the deficit would fall to.
"If it turns out that some parts of the package have a
different impact we have the intention to come to a deal again.
That applies to the 3 percent rule. It applies to economic and
purchasing power effects," Blok told NOS.
Among the most notable measures are an increase in the VAT
tax on luxury goods by 2 percent to 21 percent and higher taxes
on alcohol, soft drinks and tobacco products, RTL said.
Civil servants' salaries would be frozen and healthcare
spending reduced by 1 billion euros ($1.3 billion). Tax
write-offs for employee travel would be trimmed, but tax on home
purchases would be reduced, it said.
Prime Minister Mark Rutte's government fell apart last
weekend when its main ally, Geert Wilders' Freedom Party,
refused to agree to a deal that would have cut more than 14
billion euros ($18 billion) off the annual budget.
Some small opposition parties favour reducing the deficit to
3 percent but the largest opposition parties, including Labour
and Wilders' Freedom Party, had said 3.6 or 4 percent was good
enough and cutting more would hurt growth and jobs.
Financial markets have been unsettled by the Netherlands'
inability to agree the sort of deficit-cutting it has demanded
from other governments.
The Netherlands, which has a relatively low level of state
debt of 65.2 percent of GDP, has been in recession since July,
and the budget deficit is expected to be 4.6 percent of GDP next
year without spending cuts.
As elsewhere in Europe, there is public discomfort with sharp
A poll by Maurice de Hond showed 58 percent of those
surveyed agreed the Dutch deficit should be cut to 3.5 percent
at the most, while 44 percent thought it should be cut to 3
percent or lower.

A 150-year-old marine transportation company in the United States partners with Zelite on Dynamics 365 CRM Cloud Migration Services.
The client is one of the oldest and largest marine towing and transportation companies in the United States. For over 150 years they are engaged in ship docking, general harbor towing, coastal towing, and bulk transportation on the U.S. East Coast. The company has served the maritime community continuously, earning a reputation for unsurpassed excellence.
For several years the client had been using Microsoft Dynamics 365 Customer Engagement On-premises. They were happy with the functionality of the system, but were beginning to experience limitations due to its on-premises infrastructure, such as difficulty in accessing the system remotely and the need for regular maintenance and upgrades.
The company wanted to migrate their system to the cloud, specifically to
To migrate from Dynamics 365 Customer Engagement On-premises to Dynamics 365 Sales on the cloud, a thorough assessment of the existing CRM was conducted. This assessment helped to identify potential areas of risk and necessary customizations that would need to be addressed during the migration process.
Zelite then developed a customized Dynamics 365 Sales cloud migration plan, which included the following steps:
- Migration of data: The data migration plan developed by Zelite ensured that all existing data was migrated securely to Dynamics 365 Sales. This involved identifying and mapping data fields, developing a migration schedule, and testing the migration process.
- Customization migration: We analysed the customizations and module-driven apps made in the old system, merged them together, following standard practice, and imported the merged solution into Dynamics 365 Sales to ensure the replication of all custom entities, roles, products, workflows, business rules, web resources, and business processes.
- Integration with other systems: The new Dynamics 365 Sales was fully integrated with other systems, such as the Helm, where the data was seamlessly shared.
- Testing and training: We performed extensive testing verifying that the new system was fully functional and met the needs of the company. We also provided end-user training confirming their proficiency in utilizing Dynamics 365 Sales.
- Maritime Transportation
- Time and Material
- Live & Under Support Contract
- Dynamics 365 Customer Engagement 9.1 to Dynamics 365 Sales Enterprise 9.2 on cloud migration
- Microsoft Dynamics 365 SDK
- Common Data Service Configuration Migration Tool
- Package Deployment Tool
- Plugin Registration Tool
- Microsoft Dynamics 365 Module-Driven App
- Total Users: 40
The cloud migration process was completed with zero downtime and data loss, and the new system was fully integrated with the Helm system. The company now accesses the new system through web and mobile apps, which has increased its flexibility and efficiency.

"My response to the “I am not a feminist” internet phenomenon….
First of all, it’s clear you don’t know what feminism is. But I’m not going to explain it to you. You can google it. To quote an old friend, “I’m not the feminist babysitter.”
But here is what I think you should know.
You’re insulting every woman who was forcibly restrained in a jail cell with a feeding tube down her throat for your right to vote, less than 100 years ago.
You’re degrading every woman who has accessed a rape crisis center, which wouldn’t exist without the feminist movement.
You’re undermining every woman who fought to make marital rape a crime (it was legal until 1993).
You’re spitting on the legacy of every woman who fought for women to be allowed to own property (1848). For the abolition of slavery and the rise of the labor union. For the right to divorce. For women to be allowed to have access to birth control (Comstock laws). For middle and upper class women to be allowed to work outside the home (poor women have always worked outside the home). To make domestic violence a crime in the US (It is very much legal in many parts of the world). To make workplace sexual harassment a crime.
In short, you know not what you speak of. You reap the rewards of these women’s sacrifices every day of your life. When you grin with your cutsey sign about how you’re not a feminist, you ignorantly spit on the sacred struggle of the past 200 years. You bite the hand that has fed you freedom, safety, and a voice.
In short, kiss my ass, you ignorant little jerks.”
Because so much of fantasy takes place in settings that in no way resemble the real world, featuring species that in no way resemble human, fantasy writers often have trouble dealing with regular people. This is something that, I think, isn’t as much of a problem for mainstream writers, because they can simply describe the world around them and come up with a reasonably accurate representation of humanity. They can also fall back on the plethora of real-world terms used to describe human beings, racially and otherwise. But using these terms makes no sense if you’re dealing with a world that doesn’t share our political/cultural context. You can’t call someone “African American” if your world has no Africa, no America, and has never gone through a colonial phase in which people of disparate cultures were forcibly brought together, thus necessitating the term in the first place.
That said, it’s equally illogical to populate your fantasy world with only one flavor of human being, which is what far too many fantasy stories default to. Granted, many fantasies take place in confined cultural spaces — a single small kingdom in a Europeanish milieu, maybe a single city or castle within that city. (But how did that castle get its spices for the royal table, or that lady her silks? What enemy are the knights training to fight? Even in the most monochromatic parts of the real Ye Olde Englande, I can guarantee you there were some Asian traders, Sephardic or Ashkenazic Jewish merchants, Spanish diplomats or nobles partly descended from black Moors, and so on.) I get that lots of countries on Earth are racially homogeneous, so it makes perfect sense that some fantasy settings would be too. But whiteness is the default in our thinking for Earth-specific cultural/political reasons. So while it’s logical for fantasy realms to be homogeneous, it’s not logical for so many of them to be homogeneously white. Something besides logic is causing that.
So. It’s a good idea for all fantasy writers to learn how to describe characters of color. And I think it’s a good idea to learn how to describe those characters in subtle ways, since they can’t always rely on Earth terminology. Now, doing subtle description increases the chance that the reader might misidentify the character racially — and to a degree, I think there’s nothing you can do about that. You’re working against a lifetime of baggage in the reader’s mind. But you can still insert enough cues so that when combined, they’ll get the idea across.

Decrypt’s Art, Fashion, and Entertainment Hub.
The Bitcoin Frontier Fund, formerly known as Stacks Ventures, announced on Monday an accelerator focused on the NFT-like Ordinals, with plans to award several startups with mentorship opportunities and $100,000 seed investments.
Led by entrepreneur and influencer Trevor Owens, the Fund aims to foster growth around Ordinals, the Bitcoin-based protocol launched this January by developer Casey Rodarmor that has led to rampant experimentation around crypto’s oldest coin.
Ordinals allows for the creation of NFT-like assets on Bitcoin called inscriptions, and the protocol has gone on to yield innovations like Bitcoin-native tokens called BRC-20s. Owens told Decrypt that despite headwinds in the venture space, the potential for new firms to emerge through Ordinals and associated creations remains lucrative.
We are excited to announce the launch of the FIRST Ordinals Accelerator Program!
Ordinals have revolutionized what can be possible with Bitcoin.
We will be investing in Infrastructure, defi, dev tools, proven web3 use cases, and enabling technologies.
Learn more 🧵👇
— Bitcoin Frontier Fund (@BTCFrontierFund) August 14, 2023
“Building in the bear market now will be when the next unicorns are started,” Owens said, invoking the term used to describe private startups valued at over a billion dollars. “There are fewer people, but that makes it easier to see others.”
Under its previous moniker, the Bitcoin Frontier Fund raised $7 million to support companies focused on Bitcoin and the Stacks network. The organization is backed by Trust Machines, Hiro, the Stacks Foundation, and Stacks co-founder Muneeb Ali.
Stacks is a layer-2 blockchain that lets developers create smart contracts and decentralized applications on top of Bitcoin. Rebranding from Stacks Ventures to the Bitcoin Frontier Fund captures just how much Ordinals has changed the conversation surrounding Bitcoin and Web3 in recent months, Owens said.
“Before Ordinals came along, we didn't see a way to build these types of advanced assets on Bitcoin’s layer-1,” he said, pointing out that inscription data is hosted directly on the network. “It’s the missing piece of the puzzle for creating assets on Bitcoin.”
The Ordinals accelerator program will last four months for each company that’s accepted, and prepare them to raise funding. Notable mentors include OnChain Monkey co-founder Amanda Terry, Dust Labs founder and CEO Kevin Henrikson, the pseudonymous on-chain data enthusiast Domo (who created the BRC-20 token standard), and Udi Wertheimer of Ordinals project Taproot Wizards.
Wertheimer’s “Great Ordinals Debate” was an anticipated spat at Bitcoin 2023 in Miami this past May—back when Ordinals garnered controversy for clogging Bitcoin’s network and sending transaction fees sky-high due to fervor surrounding BRC-20s.
While the pushback Ordinals received was palpable, the attention—as some of Bitcoin’s largest figures like MicroStrategy Executive Chairman Michael Saylor affirmed—also drove adoption, Owens said.
A recent drop-off in Ordinals-related activity has led some to speculate that Ordinals are “dead,” the pseudonymous Ordinals technical fellow known as Ordinally previously told Decrypt. Yet Owens argued a lack of buzz is only natural as the Ordinals space progresses, while critics—the so-called laser-eyed Bitcoin maximalists—tuck their tails between their legs.
“There's always an initial hype cycle for every new technology,” he said. “But I hope that people will start to recognize Ordinals is a paradigm shift [in] how we can build applications on Bitcoin.”
Editor's note: This story was updated after publication to clarify that the accelerator will provide seed investments, not grants.

A cannabis plant has around 140 cannabinoids in total. However, professionals have only researched a little over ten cannabinoids, and users are familiar with less than half of that. One of the most prevalent cannabinoids in the hemp industry these days is Delta 8 THC, cousin of the most famous Delta 9 THC.
If you’re wondering whether Delta 8 THC is the same as CBD (cannabidiol), let us help you figure that out.
What is CBD?
CBD, like Delta 9 THC (alias THC), is extracted from a cannabis plant. However, unlike the commonly known THC, CBD has no psychoactive ingredients, and it is widely used for medicinal purposes.
It is used by individuals who become uneasy and anxious when using regular THC and experience discomfort. Just like THC, CBDis another primary active ingredient found in cannabis in large quantities. According to research, CBD has been used chiefly by patients with chronic pains, insomnia, eating disorders, or depression.
While CBD does not get you high, so to speak, it does offer quite a number of health benefits. CBD has been widely used by cancer patients who suffer from side effects of chemotherapy such as nausea, vomiting, and or pain.
What is Delta 8 THC?
Delta 8 THC is the cousin of more common Delta 9 THC. It is found in lower concentrations than both CBD and regular THC. Chemically, Delta 8 THC has a different structure than Delta 9. While Delta 9 has a double bond located at the 9th carbon change, Delta 8 has a double bond on the 8th carbon change.
Many researchers have quoted that Delta 8 is more stable and potent than regular THC. While the effects of the two are not that different, the high that you get from Delta 8 is relatively subdued. Unlike Delta 9 THC, it will not give you a strong high.
People who want the health benefits of regular THC but don’t want to get too high prefer using products containing Delta 8.
Delta 8 THC vs. CBD
Delta 8 THC has been around for decades, but it was only recently that it started gaining popularity- thanks to the 2018 Farm Bill. So, many users find themselves confused when it comes to differentiating between Delta 8 THC and other common cannabinoids.
Let’s take a look at the differences and similarities between Delta 8 THC and CBD:
Both Delta 8 and CBD are cannabinoids found in the cannabis plant. They both have some health benefits that can treat insomnia, eating disorders, or chronic pain. However, Delta 8 is closer to Delta 9 in terms of similarities than CBD.
Both Delta 8 and CBD are consumed through several different means, including edibles and vapes.
Delta 8 and CBD are a lot different when it comes to their chemical compounds and their effects on our bodies.
Delta 8 THC carries psychoactive ingredients that are also found in Delta 9. Which means it will give you a subtle high when used. Comparatively, CBD contains no psychoactive elements, and it will definitely not get you high.
In addition to this, both these cannabinoids are found naturally in the hemp plant. However, because Delta 8 is not one of the two primary compounds, it is mostly synthesized in a lab. Delta 8 can be extracted from either Delta 9 THC or CBD through a process called isolation. On the other hand, CBD is found and extracted through a more natural approach.
Can You Use CBD with THC?
Yes, when you combine CBD with THC, it gives you a less psychoactive effect. Although the high you get from Delta 8 is less intense compared to Delta 9, adding CBD will make it even more so.
Combining the two ingredients is reportedly safe and can be done if you want the benefits of both in one product.
Should You Use CBD or Delta 8 THC?
Depending on your tolerance levels and experience, you can use either of the two compounds. Many users have recorded that Delta 8 THC gave them an energetic high and made them productive throughout the day.
In addition to this, with a less intense psychoactive effect, users reported not feeling the need to doze off after taking Delta 8. If that is something you’re looking for, try our products containing Delta 8 THC.
If you want a longer lasting high, try our Delta 8 Edible Apple Rings. For a short-lived high, you can try our Delta 8 Disposable Vape Pen.
However, if you don’t want any psychoactive ingredient in your products and wish to stick to the health benefits, try products containing only CBD.
Is Delta 8 THC Legal?
The answer to this question is quite complex. The 2018 Farm Bill claims that anything containing less than 0.3% Delta 9 THC is legal. However, nothing has been stated regarding the Delta 8 THC.
Some states have already issued new regulations regarding the Delta 8 THC. Because of these regulations, Delta 8 might be considered illegal in a few states, including Alaska, Arizona, Arkansas, Colorado, Delaware, Idaho, Iowa, Kentucky, Mississippi, Montana, Rhode Island, Utah, Vermont, and Washington.
Where to Buy
We have a wide range of Delta 8 and CBD infused products, including edibles, vapes, and flowers. Head on to our website and order one now.

Evacuation from the Gaza Strip through the Rafah checkpoint will be available only to foreigners
Evacuation from the Gaza Strip, under attack by the Israeli army, through the Egyptian Rafah checkpoint will be available only to a few foreign citizens. In addition, the Israeli authorities allowed the supply of drinking water and medicine to the Palestinian enclave, while prohibiting the supply of fuel.
Earlier there were reports that the United States, Egypt and Israel were able to agree on a temporary ceasefire, but this information was not confirmed by the Israeli side. In addition, it is reported that the Hamas leadership claims that it is not aware of the alleged ceasefire agreements.
However, even if the Rafah border crossing is opened, it will only be available to foreign citizens, whose number constitutes only a small part of the more than two million population of the Gaza Strip. It is also expected that humanitarian aid will flow into the region through this border checkpoint.
It is expected that, at the request of the United States, aid will be transferred to the Gaza Strip under Egyptian supervision. However, fuel needed to run generators capable of powering hospitals and civilians in the Palestinian enclave will remain prohibited from entering Gaza.
The Israeli defense ministry says Tel Aviv is acting in accordance with international law to maintain international legitimacy and continue its military operation in the region.

Yarah Bravo and BluRum 20 One Self feat. DJ Vadim Lyrics Follow
James Sobers, a.k.a. BluRum13 (alternate spellings include Blu Rum 13, BluRum 13, and Blurum 13) is an American rapper (MC/emcee) and producer under the pseudonym Killa Platypus. Originally from New York City, he spent most of his formative years in Washington D.C.


As far as I can tell, the rain sensor is basically a simple switch with felt or foam attached to it. When the felt/foam gets wet the switch is activated. Depending on how your system is configured the switch can be set to be normally open or normally closed. Both wired and wireless units are available and can be had for as little as $15 (wired) or $50 wireless. I have a $15 wired unit and it seems to work well enough. I imagine that you can simulate rain sensor operation simply by shorting the the Rain Sense pins on the OpenSprinkler board. Please verify this last statement as I would hate for you to damage your board if I’m wrong.
On the topic of logging, while I would love to see rain sensor data logged, I can now see the limitations of the current logging system and I wonder if time would be better spent looking at creating more flexible logging system. I believe all machines running a web server (including my router) will be capable of using some kind of database package and perhaps taking the output of the OS device settings command and dumping that into a line in a database file could be the answer. If done correctly I imagine gathering statistics and even generating graphs would be pretty straight forward as that’s a fairly common use of databases. I think how you choose to move on logging and rain sensor data really depends on what your vision is for your webapp. It’s easy for me to come up with ideas unfortunately I can’t offer much coding support.


Yom-e-Ashura: 6 killed, over 90 injured in Pakistan bomb attack on Muharram eve
- L-G Jung functioning as if there is President's Rule in Delhi: Sisodia
- Suicide car bomb kills at least 6, injures 9 in Kabul
- VIDEO: Teased by bodyguard, Agra woman smashes SP leader's Mercedes
- Amid Delhi Chief Secy row, at least dozen govt officers ready to leave city

At least six persons were killed and nearly 90 others injured today when Pakistani Taliban targeted a Shia procession with a bomb at Dera Ismail Khan in the restive northwest, on Ashura, the holiest day for the minority community.
The attack was the second to strike the city in Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa in as many days.
The bomb, planted in a shop in Chogla area of Dera Ismail Khan, was triggered by remote-control as a procession was passing by.
A security personnel was among the six persons killed in the attack, Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa Information Minister Mian Iftikhar Hussain said.
Four security personnel, women and children were among the injured.
Several of the wounded were in a critical condition.
Yesterday, eight persons were killed and about 20 injured when another Shia procession was targeted with a roadside bomb in Dera Ismail Khan.
The banned Tehrik-e-Taliban Pakistan claimed responsibility for both bombings in the city as well as a suicide attack on a Shia procession in Rawalpindi that killed 23 people and injured over 60 on Wednesday.
Authorities called in army soldiers to patrol the streets of Dera Ismail Khan after the attacks.
The bombings caused widespread panic in the city.
Tehrik-e-Taliban Pakistan spokesman Ihsanullah Ihsan told the media that his organisation had carried out today's attack.
He claimed a suicide bomber was in the procession in Dera Ismail Khan though officials insisted the attack was carried out with a bomb.
Ihsan said the Taliban would succeed in striking their targets despite all security arrangements made by Interior Minister Rehman Malik.
Provincial Information Minister Hussain said the Taliban had apparently planned the attack in Dera Ismail Khan well in advance as authorities had closed all shops and markets and suspended mobile phone services in the city.
The bomb was planted in a closed shop on the route of the Shia procession and triggered by remote control, he said.

Participant of the current season of “Dança dos Famous”, Giullia Buscacio is having for the first time more intimate contact with the universe of dance. “I never danced professionally, my contact with dance was always in the lightest and most natural way, on special occasions, with the family”, he explains to the Purepeople the actress considered to live Juma Marruá in the remake of the soap opera “Pantanal”, scheduled for 2021 in the range of nine. This year’s dispute ended up abolishing the use of masks after the item became part of the contestants’ costumes.
In ‘Dança’, actress delivers fear of rhythms. Know which ones!
In the most recent presentation, Giullia, far from the soap operas since the end of the remake of “Éramos Seis”, fulfilled the dream of knowing the techniques of forró. On the other hand, the actress trained by professor Daniel Navarro has the rhythms that cause her concern. “I am very afraid of tango and salsa”, points out the young woman, who occupies the fourth place among women after two rounds of presentation – at the premiere they performed at the party – with 117.2 points against 117.9 of the leader, Danielle Winits, and one just ahead of 115.6 for Guta Stresser, last place.
‘I want to bring lightness and fun to Dance’, says Giullia
The 23-year-old Portuguese actress and girlfriend of musician Pedro Calais is in love with funk. “Now, whether I know it or not, only the public and the judges will know how to say it,” she says good-naturedly, quoting the examining panel that included Marina Ruy Barbosa, the target of criticism for the ’10’ scores distributed to competitors. And Giullia gets excited when talking about her goals on the stage of “Domingão do Faustão”. “At home, I try to have fun with the songs I like, bring that lightness of dance and fun that has always accompanied me and I want to contribute to that in the program”, he says.
Giullia claims to be dedicated, but stresses not being competitive
Asked if she demands too much of herself in the dispute, Giullia does not qualify as competitive. “Quite the contrary, I am the one who ‘the important thing is to compete with all my heart’,” he explains, pondering. “I was always a very dedicated girl when I set out to do something, I really donated myself, I head in, I live it with all my heart”, she guarantees, who faces in “Dança” other names like Felipe Titto, who replaced Henri Castelli after injury to the protagonist of “Flor do Caribe”.
‘I am in process with myself and my limitations’, emphasizes Giullia
Looking at the participants who have spent the past 16 seasons, Giullia elects those who inspire her. “Not only as artists, but as people, there is Lucas Veloso, who is a great example of contagious joy on stage and talent, just like Viviane Araujo”, he says. And when looking at her competitors, the actress avoids seeing them as opponents. “I am in a process with me and with my limitations, I think that goes beyond the program and my partners. Our rehearsals are always individual, so I deal with my limitations and achievements in rehearsals to arrive at the day and achieve a personal overcoming. in the same way I hope to overcome my colleagues too, each one in his process “, he concludes.

SEEING IS BELIEVING
Click on the desired body area to view the gallery
The result is an increase in muscle mass to the treated area after six easy treatments: 23 percent, on average. There’s also a 27 percent average decrease in fat in the treated area, since the hyper-stimulated, hard-working muscles overtax nearby fat cells, leading to a reduction in fat cell numbers and an overall reduction in fat volume! This further improves the definition in the treated area, since there is less fat to obscure and “soften” the look of the underlying muscles.
Ideal results require multiple treatments. Typically, that means four to six sessions, each spaced as close as two to three days apart. You can lie still during the treatment, leaving the EMsculpt® device to get your muscles to do all the work. Six treatments to the abs result in the abdominal sculpting equivalent of 20,000 crunches.
This treatment has been studied extensively and is very safe and effective, having been cleared by the FDA for toning and firming abdominal muscles, buttocks, thighs, calves, and arms. Since the EMsculpt® device has come on the market, there have been no reported adverse reactions.

I’m not too good of a protege, considering Anne is a hero and role model for me. I’m still more pessimistic than optimistic, and I don’t have the faith in human nature that she did. She was a believer, little girl dreaming in an attic, hiding from the darkness outside. Her way is something to strive for.

I love this song by Of Monsters and Men. Really speaks to the relationship between Katniss and the other tributes, IMHO. Most lyrics I’ve seen translate the coda as “I’m already there,” (probably accurate,) but I’ve always heard it as “I’m already dead.”
"Cato and Clove, the tributes from District 2, might have both made it home if Peeta and I hadn’t."
Appreciate Katniss’s guilt, though I still assume that they would have played by the Capitol’s rules and one woulda killed the other.
I’m still very taken by the district two careers (maybe not Brutus as much, but definitely Cato, Clove and Enobaria. Lyme is cut from a different cloth, it seems). They’re good examples of unlikeable characters—people who respond to their oppression by making the most cowardly and brutal of choices. I don’t like them, but I have sympathy.
Jennifer Lawrence interrupts Francis Lawrence during an interview.
I’m kinda wondering if this is the type of stuff she could also get away with in her smaller movie press junkets, like American Hustle. :p (Smaller in terms of geek cred, and massive, youthful fan base—assuming AH is headed for the Oscars.)

Planning a trip to Portland in late March. What is the closest snow ski area that most likely will be open?
The closest skiing to Portland is on Mount Hood, approx 1-1:30 east of Portland. Spring skiing is some the best during the year and your dates are perfect for the spring deals. Ski Bowl and Timberline have what’s called the Fusion pass which is generally priced between $99-$129 and Mount Hood Meadows has a spring pass for about $129. The pass is good till the end of the season, generally mid-May. If you intend on skiing more than one day the pass more than well pays for itself.

Top 10 Lon Chaney Jr. Films Countdown
I've been working on this one for a while now, binging films of Lon Chaney Jr. in preparation for my TOP 10 Lon Chaney Films Countdown. He was a prolific actor, and is probably underrated when it comes to his acting ability. Always entertaining, he made some terrific films.
Here's my top 10 list:

A free, new exhibition at Hull Central Library explores how shared creative processes, skills and values contribute to thriving commons neighbourhoods.
We are Commoners launches on Wednesday 3 August and runs until Saturday 17 September 2022.
It’s a thought-provoking national touring exhibition by Craftspace which highlights ‘acts of commoning’.
These actions shape the way communities work together to share and manage commonly-owned assets and resources. Through sixteen loans and new commissions, these artists provide a powerful commentary on what society stands to gain from acting to protect and reclaim the places and culture we share.
Featuring both UK based and international artists, the exhibition will reflect how creativity, making and materials can highlight how acts of commoning are creating thriving communities.
Exhibition themes range from work influenced by the land, fashion, food production, mobility, public spaces, the internet and the streets we live.
Deirdre Figueiredo MBE the Director of Craftspace said: “In a time of extreme disruption from COVID-19, this exhibition provides a mutual resource to find and process meaning out of trauma and loss, to aid recovery. Lockdown has seen a surge in purchase of craft equipment and materials. People have turned to age-old craft skills and making to get by, boost their resilience and engage in acts of collective creativity.”
Artist Shane Waltener has made scaffold structures from locally sourced willow, bramble and handmade nettle and flax twine.
Shane said: “I am creating a performance installation as ‘a symbolic act of repair’, one that prompts us to rethink our connections between land and materials, making a connection between the urban and the rural, learning from nature and the landscape.”
Councillor Alison Collinson, Chair of Hull Culture and Leisure Ltd said: “This exhibition will shine a light on how collective creativity can bring together a community, something that rings very true for Hull.”
The exhibition is free to visit. Find more details at commoners.craftspace.co.uk.

- The P0326 code stands for “Knock Sensor 1 Circuit Range/Performance Bank 1,” which means the powertrain control module (PCM) detected that the knock sensor’s signal has fallen outside of the specified range.
- Some of the common causes of the P0326 code include a defective knock sensor, wiring issues, and a faulty PCM.
- An illuminated check engine light and strange noises from the engine are some common symptoms of the P0326 code.
If you’re struggling to figure out why your car has a logged P0326 error code, here’s some information to help point you in the right direction.
What Does the P0326 Code Mean?
Diagnostic trouble code (DTC) P0326 stands for “Knock Sensor 1 Circuit Range/Performance Bank 1.” It is set once the powertrain control module (PCM) determines that the signal from the knock sensor has fallen outside of the specified range. It may also be logged if the PCM fails to detect a signal from the knock sensor.
Knocking refers to the unwanted vibration and noise that could damage an engine. This is typically the result of fuel with too low of an octane rating, overly advanced ignition timing, or extreme engine operating temperatures. The PCM may also perceive an internal engine problem, such as a failed rod bearing, as engine knocking.
A knock sensor is a one-wire or two-wire sensor mounted on a cylinder block, and it detects engine knocking. “Knock sensor 1” in this code refers to the first sensor (if there are two), while “bank 1” refers to the side of the engine with cylinder #1.
The knock sensor detects vibration when revolutions per minute (RPM) rises or drops and generates voltages based on this vibration. The PCM controls the ignition timing based on the frequency of the sensor’s signal. If engine knocking occurs, the ignition timing slows down to prevent it.
Most PCMs can learn to distinguish spark knock trends in the engine during normal operation. The later ECM/PCM knock sensor algorithms can differentiate between detonation / spark knock and other engine knocking noises because they only register engine knocks during the narrow window of time for each cylinder. Knocking that doesn’t happen in one of the engine’s cylinder “time windows” isn’t counted as an engine knock on more sophisticated systems.
If the PCM perceives the knock to be severe enough that a retarded spark timing can’t eliminate it, it will set code P0326. It will also log the code if it determines the knocks to be louder and higher than the set threshold.
Read our technical explanation about what knock sensors do to find more information that can help you fully understand P0326.
Note: The definition of code P0326 may be different depending on the vehicle manufacturer. Consult the appropriate repair manual or repair database for the exact code definition.
What are the Possible Causes of the P0326 Code?
P0326 is a generic code, so it can have several causes. Here are the most common:
What are the Common Symptoms of the P0326 Code?
You may notice the following symptoms if your car has a logged P0326:
- Illuminated check engine light
- Odd noise coming from the engine
How to Diagnose the P0326 Code
Diagnosing code P0326 can be hard because it shares similar triggers and symptoms with other DTCs. However, despite being a generic code, it does not have a universal fix. Vehicles are built differently depending on the manufacturer, so diagnostic procedures may vary.
For example, the diagnosis for a code P0326 on a Hyundai may differ from the same logged code on a Toyota. Err on the side of caution by referring only to repair and diagnostic information specific to your vehicle. Leave the diagnosis to a technician if you’re not confident in your automotive knowledge.
How to Fix the P0326 Code
Code P0326 may be set in vehicles of varying makes and models. However, there is no universal solution for this code. All cars are built differently and may require varying solutions.
Always refer to the factory repair information specific to your vehicle before starting on any repairs. You can also opt to bring your car to an auto repair shop if you’re still unsure of which appropriate repair steps to follow.

Court sets aside award ruling against Ottawa in Nunavut lawsuit
Appeal court overturns 2012 ruling ordering Canada to pay $15M for mishandling monitoring agency
A court has set aside a $15 million award against the federal government for not living up to one of the main promises of the Nunavut land claim — even though Ottawa concedes its failing.
The judgment from the Nunavut Court of Appeal is the first in a $1 billion lawsuit against the federal government by Nunavut Tunngavik, the group that oversees the land claim.
The group alleges the treaty that created the eastern Arctic territory has never been properly implemented.
Friday's ruling involves promises made in the treaty that a monitoring agency would be set up to collect data and report on the new territory's economic and social progress and the state of its environment.
It took until 2010 for the government to set aside any money for the agency and it's still not fully functioning, 11 years after the deadline and 21 years after the deal was signed.
Nunavut Tunngavik asked the Nunavut Court of Justice for nearly $15 million in damages. It argued that's how much the government saved by not fulfilling its promises. After a hearing in 2012, a Nunavut judge agreed and made the award.
The federal government appealed the ruling, and while it didn't dispute the finding it hadn't lived up to its obligations, lawyers argued that it wasn't fair to award damages based on a calculation of what Ottawa didn't spend.
Two of the three judges on the appeal panel agreed. Justice Frans Slatter wrote that every individual promise made in a land claim doesn't necessarily bring with it corresponding financial obligations.
"In this case the asserted fiduciary duties are ill defined, open-ended and in many respects inconsistent with the wording of the Land Claims Agreement," he wrote. "If such fiduciary duties exist, neither the appellant nor the respondent could know with certainty what they encompass."
Slatter continued: "Imposing such vague fiduciary duties on the contractual obligations will not aid in building positive future relationships."
The court ruled that damages from the government's failure to implement the monitoring panel will be set in the trial on the land-claim group's overall lawsuit.
It argues that while the federal government promised that Inuit would take up a representative share of civil service jobs in the new territory, it failed to provide enough education to allow them to do that. Inuit remain under-represented in Nunavut's civil service.
A 2006 conciliation report by retired justice Thomas Berger backed up the group's claim. A previous report by Berger on how the treaty was being implemented concluded that Ottawa lost interest in Nunavut after the new territory was created.
The lawsuit isn't expected to go to trial until next year.
James Eetoolook, acting president of Nunavut Tunngavik, said the group is reviewing the Appeal Court's decision with its lawyers to determine its next step.
"NTI is calling on the government of Canada to honour all the promises ... and uphold the honour of the Crown in doing so," he said in a release.


“For years, Mayweather events have been little more than grand exhibitions of sly matchmaking and wearisome promotion. Because “The Moment” involves Maidana, however, this card will appeal to anyone who appreciates an injection of meritocracy into a world that regards connections as tantamount to worth. Since losing a lopsided decision in his February 2012 welterweight debut, where the clutch-and-grab tactics of Devon Alexander not only stymied Maidana but also, incredibly, managed to make him boring, Maidana has reeled off four consecutive wins. In those wins, among them stoppages over fellow roughnecks Jesus Soto-Karass and Josesito Lopez, Maidana exhibited his power and vulnerability, while revealing technical improvements that, in all fairness, are usually ingrained by the amateurs. Better late than never, of course, whether it is a fighter learning to jab or earning a payday that changes his tax bracket.”

In his essay “The Tyranny of Visions,” Thomas Sowell writes that visions are inescapable because of the limits of knowledge (one might argue this limitation holds their appeal as well). The crucial question for Sowell is “whether visions provide a basis for theories to be tested or for dogmas to be proclaimed and imposed.” With Mayweather, the vision has grown as the tests have receded. This is not entirely his fault of course, as he has run through the gamut of realistic challenges and is facing arguably his toughest available test next (barring some overweening request that he face a middleweight). But there are glaring omissions in Mayweather’s impressive record—like Manny Pacquiao and Antonio Margarito—and asterisks abound: neither Shane Mosley nor Miguel Cotto were in their primes when Mayweather agreed to face them. And saying that Mayweather would have beaten these men at their best is not much of a rebuttal—such conjecture only reiterates the vision. The point is that the opportunity to test the vision of Floyd Mayweather, Jr., has largely passed, leaving us with the proclamation of dogma.
Read Vision Thing: On Floyd Mayweather Jr on The Cruelest Sport.
It was a fight short on drama, one that prompted a smattering of boos among the throng gathered at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada. And yet, there is a compliment buried in this criticism. For in so easily dismantling Robert Guerrero over twelve one-sided rounds on Saturday night, Floyd Mayweather, Jr., displayed a fighting prowess that, even at age 36, remains remarkable. One can take issue with some of the names on—and off—his ledger and disapprove of his preference for avoiding rather than delivering damage, but the drama of a Mayweather fight is most often lost in the yet-to-be traversed expanse between his competition’s ability and his own. And that, no matter how you look at it, is high praise.

This How To assumes you know the basics of Yahtzee (three rolls per turn etc). For more information on Yahtzee you can check the Yahtzee wiki page.
With the addition of Yahtzee we have a new type of user in our ranks, namely the GameAdmin. The GameAdmin can initialize a new Yahtzee game and invite players to join the game before it actually begins. During the game the GameAdmin doesn't do a whole lot (possibly he/she is playing along too). But the GameAdmin can decide to remove a player from the game if the player misbehaves, (or got disconnected, had to leave, etc...) and the GameAdmin wants the game to continue.
So, lets say the GameAdmin has invited you to the game, you get the option to accept or decline the invitation. For a start, all action that has to be done for a game of Yahtzee has to state /yahtzee (or /yz for short and quick usage). In this example we will accept the invitation otherwise this help would be kind of pointless. To accept, type:
After all the players have accepted/declined their invitations the GameAdmin will decide when a good time is to start the game. The first one to be invited to the game is the first one to start (this might change later to add a random order). Assuming you are the first player to start the game you will be asked to type "/yahtzee roll". After a roll, you (and all others in the room) will see in the chat what your roll had as a result. For example:
After a roll you will have to specify which ones you want to keep. (This will also determine the number of dice you have for your next roll). Say you want to keep the 3,4 and 5 from the example roll, for a small/large straight, you have to type:
/yahtzee keep 3,4,5
So, now we have had our first roll and kept three of the five dice. The next roll will automatically only roll two dice.
That roll seemed pretty useless, even though the chance on a Large Straight is pretty slim, we still have a fair shot at a Small Straight. Let's try it, we first have to specify that we still want to keep those dice.
/yahtzee keep 3,4,5
Yes! That did the trick. A Small Straight, let's save it to the Small Straight field (30 points!). Do so by typing:
/yahtzee save smallstraight "System: [YahtzeePlugin] Player User saved to field `smallstraight`."
To save to a field, specify the field name in lowercase. Also, the fields for the ones, twos etc are named `one`, `two`, etc. Saving to a field automatically puts the turn in the next player's hands.
/yahtzee keep none
After every player has all his/her fields filled, the game will end. The Winner will be announced followed by all the other players in order of their score.
If you want to see your current results during the game you can type: "/yahtzee score". If you want an overview of all the players results so far during the game you should type: "/yahtzee id", then copy the ID that it output and paste that behind the URL of your current chat.

Cybersecurity, computer forensics or facts security is basically the protection of systems and personal computers against external information access, laptop misuse, theft of or destruction of their electronic information, and/or the disruption or malfunctioning of the expert services that they provide. A wide range of cyber attacks has recently been in the news, which article discusses the different types of cyber attacks, their factors and consequences, and their avoidance. It usually is quite scary to take into account the many cyber crimes and attacks that are on the rise. Although it may seem impossible to safeguard everything on your computer – think about it!
Computer network security (CANS) identifies the overall approach to protecting a system. One of the first steps in protecting your system is to understand what it really is, and how it operates. Many companies use network security and then the point of maintaining an awareness of their network and checking on system security regularly, but there are also other elements that require to be considered. For example, most companies will have email servers and network safety is important to the safekeeping of the important emails. Companies that not yet have email servers should begin securing their network nowadays.
Another aspect of cyber security involves using available cloud computing services to help protect your organization’s confidential data. Cloud computing really helps to protect companies from outside threats by providing the means for a variety of departments and personnel to securely store and admittance information online. Which means that if your employee’s laptop computer is stolen, the information is properly stored on the Amazon World wide web Services cloud, meaning it cannot be obtained by an unauthorized individual. Most businesses that use cloud services for protecting information do so because of the cost effectiveness and the simple utilizing the service. For these services, the cost savings which come from not needing to spend money on purchasing physical hardware is worth the added security.
Other cyber security methods include monitoring your company’s outside public network to find out any potential threats to your network. 몸캠피싱 can do this through a variety of methods including using program to monitor bandwidth, detecting probable intrusions into one’s body and more. Some companies even use virtual network monitoring to assess the overall security posture of these entire system. These cyber safety practices assist you to gain access to the necessary information to guarantee the safety of your company.
In order to reduce the chances of the cyber threats to your business and your data, you need to keep your information secure at all times. Some ways to do this include implementing policies regarding information security. With these policies in place, it is possible to ensure that only the employees who have to have access to a specific data are given usage of it. You can even implement measures to prevent hackers from accessing the system. Many of these measures include firewalls, physical safety locks and other measures to block any unauthorized personnel from gaining usage of your network.
There are also a number of different types of cyber attacks that you may come across. One of these is phishing, which is when a hacker obtains your individual and financial data to use for fraudulent activities. Some other cyber assaults include spoofing, which occurs when a hacker uses a amount of different accounts on your own network to perform various scams. A more common type of cyber attacks involves what’s referred to as a distributed denial of services (DDoS) attack. This attack occurs when many computer systems on the network connect to the Internet at the same time and cause performance troubles for the server. As the size of the DDoS make a difference the speed of files packets moving through the community, it could cause delays in receiving data.
These attacks cause information technology security concerns since they compromise a company’s confidential info and cause it to be unavailable to employees and customers. For that reason threat, it is vital for organizations to implement a thorough cyber security program. So that you can protect themselves from these possible attacks, many organizations rely on companies that provide DDoS defense services. These businesses are responsible for protecting a business from a wide variety of different attacks and making certain the network isn’t compromised.
While there are a variety of different DDoS attacks that may occur, the most common include the following: Distributed Denial-of-Program (DDoS) which occurs when several computers on a community are attacking a single application or file. Port flooding occurs when various ports on a computer are open concurrently. A a different type of cyber attack is named a buffer overflow, which takes place when a buffer with sensitive facts is corrupted and hackers gain access to it. Regardless of what sort of cyber attack occurs, it is very important an organization consistently implements safe cyber security practices so they are better equipped to guard their network from attacks.


Shakira Leads Latin Grammy Nods
Wed, 27 Sep 2006 12:03:52
Orally fixated Colombian pop star Shakira heads up the nomination list for the seventh annual Latin Grammy Awards, leading all performers with five nods, including "Album of the Year" (Fijacion Oral Vol. 1) and "Song of the Year" ("La Tortura").
The recognition is further proof that Shakira has managed to retain her Latin fanbase even while shifting her energy toward a crossover audience. Fijacion Oral, Vol. 1 was the singer's first Spanish-language album in seven years, and also spawned a successful English counterpart.
It was also a banner year for Shakira's producer, Gustavo Cerati, who was next on the list with four nominations, including two for "Album of the Year" -- one for his own record, Ahi Vamos, and one for Shakira's. Mexican singer-songwriter Julieta Venegas and socially minded Guatemalan pop star Ricardo Arjona also received four nominations apiece.
Of the 47 categories, one of the most hotly-sought prizes is Best New Artist. This year, Puerto Rico's Calle 13 (three nominations altogether) will try to fend off Ines Gaviria and single-name sensations Pamela, Lena and Ceu. Aside from Calle 13, reggaeton seems to be yesterday's news at the Latin Grammys, securing few major nominations. The lack of a hot new sub-genre surely contributed to a lackluster year in sales for Latin music as a whole, in both Latin America and the United States.
Sergio Mendes received a "Best Record" nomination for "Mas Que Nada," a 40-year-old song that was given a fresh coat of paint by The Black Eyed Peas, who are contractually obligated to appear at any award show that airs on television.
The Latin Grammy Awards will be hosted by Madison Square Garden and will be aired on November 2nd.

American kids are living in a world of ongoing public debates about race, daily displays of racial injustice, and for some, an increased awareness surrounding diversity and inclusion. In this heated context, sociologist Margaret A. Hagerman zeroes in on affluent, white kids to observe how they make sense of privilege, unequal educational opportunities, and police violence. In fascinating detail, Hagerman considers the role that they and their families play in the reproduction of racism and racial inequality in America.
White Kids, based on two years of research involving in-depth interviews with white kids and their families, is a clear-eyed and sometimes shocking account of how white kids learn about race. In doing so, this book explores questions such as, “How do white kids learn about race when they grow up in families that do not talk openly about race or acknowledge its impact?” and “What about children growing up in families with parents who consider themselves to be ‘anti-racist’?”
Featuring the actual voices of young, affluent white kids and what they think about race, racism, inequality, and privilege, White Kids illuminates how white racial socialization is much more dynamic, complex, and varied than previously recognized. It is a process that stretches beyond white parents’ explicit conversations with their white children and includes not only the choices parents make about neighborhoods, schools, peer groups, extracurricular activities, and media, but also the choices made by the kids themselves. By interviewing kids who are growing up in different racial contexts – from racially segregated to meaningfully integrated and from politically progressive to conservative – this important book documents key differences in the outcomes of white racial socialization across families. And by observing families in their everyday lives, this book explores the extent to which white families, even those with anti-racist intentions, reproduce and reinforce the forms of inequality they say they reject.
