The beginning of May is a time when the greenhouse is full to bursting point all the plants are fighting for space. But it is still too early to put them out in the garden due to the cold nights and wind that will knock them back and at worst kill them. If you heat your greenhouse it's best to harden off your plants first it is too much of a shock for them move them into a cold frame several weeks before you want to plant them out. But if you haven't got a cold frame like me i just reduce the temperature slowly until it gets turned off completely this way all the plants get slowly hardened off.
One of the problems i find when hardening off is you get a lot of condensation and damp either in the cold frame or greenhouse this can lead to a lot of fungus problems so you need to keep them well ventilated. It also helps if the plants are well spaced out so that air can get between but if you do get a out break of fungus and rots just give every thing a spray with a fungicide.


The European Commission has put forward a highly ambitious new Trade and Sustainable Development Action Plan, but how far does it go to deliver sustainability in free trade agreements?
66 results found for "mainstreaming" ordered by most recent first
The Interinstitutional Agreement for the 2021-2027 Multiannual Financial Framework (MFF) set the ambition to provide a minimum of EU annual spending to biodiversity objectives, starting with 7.5% in 2024 and at least 10% in 2026 and 2027. From 2022, the European Commission must report annually on spending for the biodiversity objective.

Salt N Pepa & Naughty by Nature will be joining NKOTB on tour.
The New Kids on the Block are one the most popular boy bands of all time. New Kids on the Block (NKOTB) are an American boy band from Boston, MA formed in the early 1980’s by Maurice Starr. Starr also founded the band, New Edition. Starr chose 15-year-old Donnie Wahlberg, Donnie’s younger brother, Mark Wahlberg, and their friends Danny Wood and Jordan Knight. Soon Jordan Knight’s younger brother, Jonathan Knight, and 12-year-old Joey McIntyre joined the group. The group changed their name from Nynuk (original band name) to New Kids on the Block.
Their first album bombed but their second album, Hangin’ Tough, went on to worldwide success. Some of the popular New Kids on the Block songs include “You Got It (The Right Stuff),” “Step By Step,” “Please Don’t Go Girl,” and “Hangin’ Tough.” Other NKOTB favorites include “I’ll Be Loving You (Forever),” “Angel of Love,” and “Valentine Girl.”
The group disbanded in 1994, but previously won two American Music Awards (AMAs) in 1990 for Favorite Pop/Rock Band, Duo, or Group and Favorite Pop/Rock Album.
They reunited in 2007 and recorded, “The Block”, but failed to reach the previous success of the 80’s and 90’s. NKOTB went on tour with the Backstreet Boys in 2011–12 under the tour name NKOTBSB.
In 2008, New Kids on the Block reunited again to produce a new album, The Block. In 2015, NKOTB performed with Nelly and TLC on “The Main Event Tour.” New Kids on the Block (NKOTB) have sold more than 80 million records worldwide.

Now that we’ve survived the April Fool’s Day it’s hard to not wonder where the day of pranks and hoaxes came from. However the day’s origins are a mystery, suitable for such a maddening holiday.
Its puzzle is that in the 18th century there are detailed references to it but it was already established as an holiday with references to it as early as 15th century. There are some theories about it.
Maybe it was because Pope Gregory XIII moved the New Years from April 1 to January 1 making people who celebrated the new year in the spring look silly. In 1582 the pope ordered the Gregorian Calendar to replace the Julian Calendar created by the Roman emperor Julius Caesar. However the French had already beat the Pope to it 18 years earlier when King Charles IX proposed the country’s widely-used January 1 as the new year be official which was later made into law by the French Parliament a year later in 1564.
Regardless the theory held that those who didn’t adopt the new calendar either out of stubbornness or obliviousness were sent on fool’s errands as a teasing from those who did adopt the calendar.
But it is only a legend because it does not explain the existence of April Fool’s Day in other European countries nor did it adequately fit into the timeline when England officially adopted the calendar change in 1752, long after April Fool’s Day was a known holiday.
Perhaps it’s because in the Julian calendar the new year began after the pagan celebrations of spring. A notable example is ancient Rome’s Hilaria. According to Encyclopedia Britannica, the holiday is a day of merriment and rejoicing from the resurrection of Attis, the son and husband of the mother of gods, Cybele. Some of the activities in Hilaria are similar to April Fool’s silliness.
Also the new year also began after Attis’ resurrection like the Christian old tradition of beginning the new year after Easter when Jesus Christ rose from his tomb. Hence the old tradition of celebrating the new year with spring that the French had rejected with Europe later following suit.
Perhaps April Fools’ Day history is better known for pranks like this one. The Associated Press reported in 1983 that the true origin of April Fool’s Day was at last discovered.
Joseph Boskin, a Boston University professor, told the press that he discovered the celebration began during the fourth century when Emperor Constantine thought it’d be fun to give his throne for the day to a court jester named Kugel. As the ruler of that day Kugel decreed only the ridiculous people were allowed in the kingdom for that day. Thus the tradition was born.
Several papers printed the story but it was many weeks later the professor confessed that none of the story was true. He intended the story to be a joke but the AP reporter believed him. Boskin said that Kugel is actually a name for a Jewish casserole, and that he doesn’t know how April Fool’s Day really began.
Despite its shadowy origins in the western world April Fool’s Day’s history is likely better known for outrageous pranks and widely believed hoaxes.

Slik innleder Daily mail rettsreferatet:
Gang of men who groomed young girls for sex drove terrified victim, 14, to the woods at night and threatened to cut her head off.
- The girl had tried to lie her way out of the act but had been discovered
- She was told ‘You know what we do with pigs, slit their throats’
- Nine men groomed and horrifically abused vulnerable girls a court has heard
- One victim was forced to miscarry after her attacker used an ‘instrument’ on her in a home abortion
- It has been claimed they used ‘extreme physical and sexual violence’, often beating and burning them as they raped their victims
- It was claimed the girls were often given so many drugs that they were ‘barely aware’
- The abuse is alleged to have taken place over a period of eight years
“Du vet hva vi gjør med griser, skjærer av strupen.” Det var beskjeden et offer fikk da hun prøvde å unnslippe voldtekter. Hun ble avdekket av gjengen, som da igjen voldtok henne og etterlot henne i skogen.
De tiltalte skal blant annet ha hentet inn ”venner, brødre og fettere” fra andre områder av England som fikk bruke jenter som de ville. Det typiske ved ”grooming” er at jentene er sårbare, de kommer fra oppløste hjem, sosialt problematiske hjem, bor i fosterhjem eller institusjoner, og omgivelsene reagerer ikke på tegnene de viser på at noe er fryktelig galt. De dopes ned, gjøres stoffavhengige, og lever med et ekstremt trusselnivå som gjør at de ikke våger å be om hjelp. I tillegg handler det selvsagt om regelrett svik fra myndigheter og voksne som har ansvar for dem.
Her er fortsettelsen:
The girl was then forced to perform a sex act on a gang of men before being abandoned in the woods.
Norman Lucas QC prosecuting told the hushed courtroom: ‘They threatened her, saying ‘You know what we do with pigs, slit their throats’. She was, as you might anticipate, terrified.
‘Another car then turned up containing four other men.
‘They threatened to cut her head off. ‘
After the men drove off and left her, she could not find her way home and was eventually forced to call the men for help. They collected her and took her to a house where she was put in a room and they sat in the next room laughing.
The jury were told the victim was just 12 when she began playing truant making her ‘an ideal target’ for some of the gang.
She eventually became so enslaved to her abusers that she forgot it was her 15th birthday when she was with the men.
The girl, who is now 21, had an unhappy home life with a mother who had an alcohol problem.
A gang of nine men face accusations of grooming and horrifically abusing vulnerable girls from the age of 11 – making their lives a ‘living hell.
The men, all from Oxford, allegedly plied six girls with alcohol, cocaine and heroin before repeatedly raping them.
Kamar Jamil, 27, Akthtar Dogar, 32, Anjum Dogar, 30, Assad Hussain, 32, Mohammed Karrar, 38, Bassam Karrar, 26, Mohammed Hussain, 24, Zeeshan Ahmed, 27, and Bilal Ahmed, 26, deny the charges against them.
The court heard the girl had made a complaint to the police in September 2006 and gave a recorded statement which will be played to the jury.
She lived in a number of care homes but would abscond and at one point was placed in secure accommodation.
The court heard that on one occasion she absconded from a care home on a Saturday with a friend and returned in a taxi on the Monday but staff at the home refused to pay the fair.
The cab driver took her back and later that night she was back in the company of the gang.
Three of the accused allegedly bought her gifts such as perfume and provided her with cannabis and cocaine in what was described as ‘an act of grooming’.
Prosecuting barrister Noel Lucas QC said: ‘At first they made her feel special by paying her the attention she did not receive at home.
‘Subsequent events prove that any affection shown to her was entirely phoney. It was an act of grooming.
‘The men, having realised she was a vulnerable girl, were targeting her for their own sexual purposes.’
The gang demanded sex and she was told they would set fire to her home and burn her brother alive unless she agreed.
She was gang raped at a Travelodge, a guest house and a house or flat that would always be empty.
Sometimes she was so ‘wasted’ she was barely aware of what was happening.
Mr Lucas said: ‘She saw other drugged and emaciated girls in houses, sometimes just lying on a bed with their legs drawn up and completely out of it, waiting for the next round of drink and drugs.’
Men were introduced to her as ‘friends, brothers or cousins’.
Mr Lucas said: ‘The vast majority being Asian, the rest black.’
He added: ‘If she resisted or tried to fight back they would slap her, grab her hair and force her to lie down, even if she was crying.
‘It got to the stage where she just got wasted and let them get on with it for fear of getting a kicking.’
Some of the men would take photographs of her on their mobile phones and call her names like ‘dirty girl’.
She told police of the ‘pack mentality’ with each man encouraging the others.
Mohammer Karrar together with other men not before the court is accused of using an instrument on one of the victims when she was 11 or 12 to force a miscarriage after she became pregnant.
They are accused of subjecting them to ‘extreme physical and sexual violence’, often beating and burning them as they raped their victims.
The Old Bailey trial has heard how there were many more potential abusers in addition to those in the dock.
It took almost half an hour for all the charges to be read to the jury.
The jury was told it would hear evidence from friends of the victims, relatives, care workers and the police.
Telephone evidence between the accused and the victims will be presented along with DNA evidence.
Mr Lucas said: ‘The evidence will show that these girls were targeted precisely because they were young.’
The men took the girls to towns and cities across the country where they suffered further sexual abuse by other men.
The abuse is alleged to have taken place over a period of eight years.
Prosecutor Noel Lucas QC said: ‘Much of what the girls were forced to endure was perverted in the extreme.
‘The depravity of what the girls were forced to endure was extreme.’
Mr Lucas told the jury of seven men and five women at the Old Bailey to ‘steel yourself’ for the evidence they were to hear.
They were told the girls became addicted to some of the drugs and felt unable to live without them making them more reliant on the men.
It was claimed the girls were often given so many drugs that they were ‘barely aware’ of what was going on.
Mr Lucas said: ‘Indeed they say that is the only way they could cope with what was going on.’
The court was told the men had ‘actively targeted vulnerable young girls from the age of about 11 or 12.’
Mr Lucas pointed out to the jury that the girls who were targeted by the men were children.
He said the men would came across the girls with ‘troubled upbringings’ and ‘unsettled homes’ when they were out drinking or playing truant.
The girls were in care homes and some of them had been sexually exploited by other men before.
Their ‘intentional and persistent’ abuse is alleged to have happened between May 2004 and early 2012.
The men deny a total of 79 charges including child rape, trafficking for sexual exploitation and arranging or facilitating child prostitution.
Mr Lucas said: ‘There is evidence that the men deliberately targeted children that were out of control.’
The men would ‘exploit their vulnerability’ knowing it was less likely that anyone would be ‘exercising any normal parental control over them or looking out for them.’
They groomed the girls by giving gifts ‘or simply showing the care and attention that they craved.’
The jury was told the girls were taken to hotels, guest houses or people’s homes for other men to have sex with them.
The men would guard the girls so they could not escape and would then be paid for providing the girls.
Men would travel to Oxford ‘often by appointment’ from as far afield as Bradford, Leeds, London and Slough ‘specifically to abuse young girls’.
Sometimes the girls were taken to towns and cities such as London and Bournemouth.
Mr Lucas said the men would inflict ‘extreme physical and sexual violence on the girls’ using knives, meat cleavers and baseball bats.
They were ‘humiliated and degraded’ bitten, scratched suffocated, tied up beaten and burnt.
Sometimes the abuse would go on for ‘days on end’.
It is claimed the men also threatened the girls and their families if they should try to ‘free themselves from the grasp of the group’.
One of the victims described her ordeal at the hands of the men as a ‘living hell’.
In his opening address to the court Mr Lucas said the men had abused the six girls ‘persistently’ over long periods of time and sometimes in groups.’
They did this: ‘For their own sexual gratification and for the sexual gratification of other men.
‘The depravity of what was done to the complainants was extreme.’
The trial continues.

Prevent scalding and other water heater-related injuries by turning off the water heater and allowing the water to cool down overnight before performing the water heater maintenance.
Check the valves and look for possible leaks on pipes and joints
Check the Temperature and Pressure (T&P) relief valve following the manufacturer’s recommendations on its label. Check the water pressure valve and make sure that it shows the recommended water pressure (40-60 psi in the daytime). Tip: apply soapy water on pipes and pipe joints. Observe if bubbles will appear as this is a sign that there's a leak.
Flush any sediment buildup
Connect a hose to the drain valve before you begin draining and flushing out sediment buildup. Eliminating sediment buildup will help with water heating efficiency and prolong the good working condition of the water heater.
Check the anode rod and replace if needed
An anode rod’s purpose is to protect the water heater lining and the inside of a water heater tank from damage and corrosion. Anode rods need to be checked during maintenance to ensure that they have not corroded yet. Depending on factors such as the hardness of the water and how much water goes through the water heater, an anode rod may need to be replaced every 3-5 years.
Refill the water heater tank
Refill the water heater tank by closing the drain valve and opening the cold water supply valve. Open a hot water faucet and let the water out for around 3-5 minutes to make sure that there’s no air remaining in the tank before you turn the water heater back on.
Please note that this checklist template is a hypothetical appuses-hero example and provides only standard information.

Berlin from June 13 to June 15 will be the location of a major leadership conference. The conference is taking place in a historical venue – the former East German State Council Building – the building which was the official seat of the East German government. The conference theme is the task of leading across generations.
The conference promises to be very special. The welcome speaker to the conference will be Michael Diekmann – the chairman and CEO of Allianz – one of the largest insurance companies in the world. The list of speakers and attendees to this conference will make it one of the most important in Europe on this topic this year.
I will speak more about the conference in future blog posts. Today I would like to talk about my involvement in making this conference happen.
Back in 2001, I attended a conference of the International Leadership Association (ILA) in Miami, Florida. I remember being quite puzzled as to why this association was calling itself international. I was one of 4 people at that conference that lived outside of the United States.
But the association had large aspirations and before I knew it, the President of ILA – Cynthia Cherrey convinced me to head up an effort to organize the first global ILA conference in Europe. Along with Ted Baartmans who also attended the Miami conference, I helped to organize an international leadership conference in Amsterdam in 2005. Since then, I have played a role in organizing conferences in Prague (2009) and London (2011).
The ILA has come a long way since then. It is truly international with over 2500 members. As such it is the largest association in the world dealing with the topic of leadership. I have been a board member of the ILA since 2003.
The Berlin conference represents a new service offering for the ILA. Previous global conferences have been dedicated to leadership in general. The Berlin conference is dedicated to a specific leadership topic. Berlin does not replace the global conference but compliments it. ILA’s global conference which has been a continuing success will this year be in Denver. Over 1000 participants are expected to attend the Denver conference.
After the 2009 global conference in Prague, I travelled throughout Europe looking for partners for ILA with the specific intent of creating topical conferences. Through the various discussions, I connected with the European School of Management and Technology. The first discussions began in early 2010. ESMT has developed over the past four years a conference series known as the ESMT Annual Forum. In these conferences, many topics of the school were highlighted to alumni and friends of the school. Through the partnership with the ILA, ESMT sees an opportunity to really focus the conference on leadership and make it an international event.
I have been working with Professor Konstantin Korotov of ESMT on the conference content and design. A truly cooperative effort has emerged between the two organizations with project teams in Berlin and Maryland contributing to a new look, feel and structure to this newest of ILA conference offerings. I am proud to have helped bring this type of conference into the world.

HARMONY presents new insights in Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia (CLL) at the EHA2021 Virtual Congress
THE HAGUE, The Netherlands , June 11, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- The HARMONY Alliance will share new insights in Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia (CLL) at the virtual Annual Congress of the European Hematology Association (EHA2021 from 9-17 June 2021). Dr Larry Mansouri of Karolinska Institutet will give an oral presentation and Dr Thomas Chatzikonstantinou of the European Research Initiative on CLL will give a poster presentation.
The clinical course of CLL is highly variable. Some patients will never require treatment whereas others will develop a treatment need over time. The disease is highly heterogeneous from a genomic perspective as well. A limited number of recurrently mutated genes are observed in more than 10% of patients, while hundreds of other genes have been found to be mutated in only in a fraction of patients. As a result, thousands of patients need to be studied to obtain robust insights into the role of these mutations in the course of the disease. The HARMONY Big Data Platform offers excellent opportunities to do just that.
At EHA2021, Dr Larry Mansouri of Karolinska Institutet will give an oral presentation about the results of a HARMONY research project that aimed to assess the clinical impact of recurrent gene mutations in CLL. Professor Richard Rosenquist Brandell was the principal investigator in this study.
Centers across Europe were asked to sequence the ten mostly commonly mutated genes in CLL in their patients. There has been fantastic interest, therefore the cohort now consists of more than 4,600 patients. The frequency of the different mutations were studied. The team also studied the association of the genes with time-to-first-treatment and overall survival. This results may allow clinicians to give patients a more reliable estimate of what they can expect in terms of the clinical course of the disease. In addition, it may affect treatment choices.
Dr Thomas Chatzikonstantinou (European Research Initiative on CLL, INAB, CERTH, Thessaloniki) will present a poster about other malignancies in the history of CLL. The researchers retrospectively evaluated data from 13,808 patients from 64 centers. They report strong associations between the development of other hematological malignancies, especially MDS/AML, and certain biological features, as well as treatment for CLL, with a highly relevant risk for patients treated with CIT, particularly the FCR regimen. In contrast, the development of solid tumors appeared unaffected by treatment administration, prompting further investigation in specific patient subgroups that will be presented at the congress.

Despite the coronacrisis, at the traditional wine auction for the benefit of hospitals in the French city of Beaune, a record has fallen again. On Sunday, the sale of the masterpiece raised 780,000 euros. The amount, counted by a Chinese buyer, goes in its entirety to healthcare workers who have contracted Covid-19.
The annual wine sale by the hospitals is a centuries-old use in the Burgundian city of Beaune. The auctioned wine comes from vineyards that once came into the hands of those institutions through donations. It concerns dozens of hectares of vineyards. The hospitals of Beaune are therefore one of the most important wineries in Burgundy. The price offered is increased because the proceeds are destined for charity, but it does serve as a measure of Burgundy wine prices. The buyers are usually wine merchants.
“ All over the world, hospital workers have given their health, and sometimes their lives for us. Today you are there for them,” said François Poher, director of the charity behind the auction, in his speech before the 160th edition of the charitable sale.
A few hours after the opening of the auction, a “charity piece” (a 228 litre barrel, or 288 bottles) was sold for 780,000 euros, including 120,000 euros in donation. With this, the previous record from 2015 (480,000 euros) was shattered. “We want to pay tribute to all healthcare providers, in France and around the world, who fight against this epidemic day and night,” said the buyer, a Chinese who wanted to remain anonymous.
The auction was initially scheduled for November 15, but had to be postponed due to the epidemic. Instead of the usual 600, only about 170 buyers participated in the auction this year. About 140 of them participated on the phone or the Internet.
Six hundred and thirty 228 litre auction pieces, including many grand cru‘s and premier cru’s from the Burgundy region, were offered for sale. Last year the proceeds of the auction amounted to no less than 12 million euros.

The "Vernal Equinox" on Saturday at 12:32 marks what many consider the official start to Spring. That basically means the sun't most direct rays are directly over the equator at that time and will slowly migrate north as the year goes on. That means longer days, more sunshine and warmer days ahead for us, yeah!
However, it's an upside down start to Spring. Friday is the last full day of Winter, and it will be beautiful! 67 and partly to mostly sunny. Then we get rain and colder Saturday for the start to Spring. And it gets worse, Sunday is the first full day of Spring....but it won't feel like Spring. Chilly and wet with a high of 41. Rain off and on most of the day, may be heavy at times.
Snow? There is a chance for some snow to mix in at times Sunday. Right now, Sunday evening looks like the best chance. But it appears the warm ground should prevent any significant accumulation. But we'll keep you posted if that changes.

Welcome! Here are the website rules, as well as some tips for using this forum.
Hi all, i`m new to this forum and I've got gas heating boilers, that's being heated with a perless 110k btu boiler. Residential. Anyway there's a humming or vibration coming from the tank that gets louder as the water heats up and gets more noisy when i turn the speed of the pump up and less noisy when i turn the speed of the pump down. I've tested for a hole in the heat exchanger buy draining the tank and running the boiler on the call the tank put off with no water in it, with the drain on the bottom of the tank open to see if my boiler water would heat up opening the crack in the heat exchanger and shoot water into my tank. but all we did was heat up the remain tank water at the bottom and it spilled out the drain. Any suggestions on what the noise is or how i can find out?

I thought I would share my views on introductory rate loans as I have been getting a lot more enquires on them. Now I not saying they are all bad but for some customers they can be a trap and can cost you a lot more in the long run.
What is an introductory rate loan ?
This is when the bank will offer you a extra discount for a period of time and after that period of time the discount would change ( they would reduce the discount & your rate will go up ). Example: if the standard rate was 5% and they offered you a 1.5% discount for 2years and after that 2years your discount would change to .9%.
Now many people would say “just refinance” and yes this would be a good time to look at moving your loan but what happens if you can’t. I have seen many cases when customers are looking to move but they can’t, these are some of the reasons: The property they own has fallen in value and they don’t have the equity to move, their situation has changed like had a child or changed jobs, they have reduced their hours worked, they have become self-employed or like many cases in today’s market they now don’t have the borrowing capacity even when their situation has not changed.
If you are one of those customers that can’t move you are now locked into a bank product with a much higher rate than you could get somewhere else and it can really hurt. If we used the example above with a $650,000 loan your repayments would start at $2918 per month and after the 2years would jump to $3,140 that’s $222 per month extra or $2,664 per year extra, $13,320 over 5years.
So all I’m saying is for some customers these cheap rates can be fantastic as long as they have the ability to move after the rate discount changes but if you don’t it can cost a lot more in interest.
As always if you would like to discuss these intro rate offerings or any other options please give us a call

Something that I see happen quite often is this normalization of mocking guys who really struggle to talk to girls, interact with them, ask them out, get into relationships, or even have sex with them.
We call them incels in society and incels seem to be the butt of most jokes. If a guy struggles with the dating part of his life, we often see him as less masculine, like he’s missing a core important piece of what it means to be a man.
Why is that? why do we view guys in such a narrow light and is this potentially dangerous? Short answer, yes.
I made a video in the past about incels, how they struggled to find love, and what they can do about it and one of the comments on that video really stuck out to me.
We can all agree that no one is owed sex. It has to be a consensual process between two people that want to engage in that action together.
But then incels are still left in this position where they are struggling to accomplish that and are being made fun of because of it which deeply ties into the concept of toxic masculinity. And all that simply means is that there are socially constructed attitudes and beliefs that create this harmful and rigid standard of what it means to be a man.
Men need to live up to them or they are falling and lacking in that area of their life. Often at times, this means prioritizing certain characteristics like dominance, aggression, and stoicism over vulnerability, empathy, and emotional expression.
Boys and men in our society are then pushed to always try to be “ladies men”. That this should be a primary focus and goal of their lives. They should always be flirting, always be asking girls out, and always be trying to get laid. And if they aren’t doing those things then they aren’t “real men” and this leads to lots of negative outcomes.
Outcome #1: Incredibly harsh resentment towards women.
If men are constantly in this pursuit of sex then women just become another notch on their belt, they’re just sex objects at that point. Plus, it also reinforces a lot of negative stereotypes about what some people call “female nature”. Where men start to believe that women only think and act a certain way, reducing their humanity entirely.
Outcome #2: Self-harm, low self-esteem, stress, and anxiety.
Men already struggle with opening up and sharing their feelings. It’s hard to be vulnerable. So if you’re struggling with this dating area of your life, you’re not going to want to talk to other people about it because they may make fun of you. So you bottle it in, you internalize those emotions and you beat yourself up every single time you fail or don’t succeed in what you want.
Outcome #3: Going down the rabbit hole and following tons of negative role models and influences.
If you’re struggling with dating you’re going to seek out that help privately so you’ll discover one of these random red pill channels and think, “oh they have some good advice”. You start to like that creator and start to take all their opinions and say “Well that’s not so bad. If they think this, then maybe that’s true too”.
That’s how people fall susceptible to people like Andrew Tate or Fresh and Fit. They have a few good ideas and a few good nuggets of wisdom, but they end up taking the whole of what they say and they adopt a full scale of really bad and harmful beliefs.
Outcome #4: Violence.
Anger seems to be one of those emotions that people are okay with men expressing. So, if you’re someone that’s struggling with dating for years on end and you don’t really know how to process your feelings, you’re going to resort to anger as the natural way to express yourself. And that tends to be coupled with violence in some way. Violence towards women, violence towards family members, and violence towards random people in some cases.
So what exactly can we do about this?
Well, there are two sides to look at here. One is the side of the incel. The person that is actively struggling with dating. If that is you there are things you can do.
I would recommend seeking out some kind of support. That may mean speaking to a therapist or counselor to help you process the different emotions and experiences that you’ve had centered around dating.
I’ve worked with BetterHelp in the past. I think they’re a wonderful service and can offer a great aid to most people so I would recommend checking them out here.
You may also want to try to find a positive community. This is going to include people who have similar stories to you. A place where you can be vulnerable and open up about your feelings and have other people do the same. You guys can share with each other.
We have built exactly that on The Josh Speaks Discord server. I’d love to have you as a member. We have some great people in there that are just cool and fun people to talk to.
Lastly what I would recommend is to prioritize your personal development. That means taking a little bit more control over those areas of your life that you know you can succeed in. That might mean healthy eating, exercising, pursuing your passion, or learning something new.
If you can kind of really focus your attention and time on those things you’re going to recognize that dating is one quadrant of that but not the only quadrant or certainly not the most important one.
And if you’re not an incel, there is still a major action step that you can take here and that is breaking down the stereotypes that we uphold for men.
Don’t judge other men because they aren’t successful in dating. Offer to help them, offer to guide them if you feel like you have a little bit of advice to give in that area.
Look, I’m no suave ladies’ man but I have been successful to some degree in dating, and sharing that experience with other people opens up the conversation. It allows them to share their experiences too. The good and the bad. The moments of triumph and the moments of struggle.
And that open conversation where people can talk about their feelings and recognize that feelings are mentionable and manageable is what we need to do to break down these barriers.
When we measure a man’s masculinity or worthiness based on how many girls he gets we only seek to hurt him. When we belittle a guy because he feels like his height or his race or his status in life is holding him back from dating, we only seek to hurt him.
We have to hear each other out. We have to be in each other’s corners. We have to support one another because life is tough. We need each other’s support to get through it.
Some of you may totally disagree with me, think I’m way off the mark, or full of it. If that’s so, leave your comment down below and let me know. I enjoy a healthy discussion about this topic and I want to hear your opinion.
On that note, I’ll catch you next time.
As always, love and peace.

In a world first, surgeons just used a self-navigating surgery robot in an experimental surgery — training a robotic catheter to find its way to a leaky valve in a pig's heart.
The new robot, described in research published in the journal Science Robotics on Wednesday, marks the beginning of the transition from robotic surgical tools to true robot-assisted surgeries, where autonomous devices can actually take the load off of overburdened human doctors.
Hug The Walls
The catheter found its way to the leaky valve by hugging the walls of the heart as it navigated, using artificial intelligence and a camera to suss out its location.
"The algorithms help the catheter figure out what type of tissue it's touching, where it is in the heart, and how it should choose its next motion to get where we want it to go," Pierre DuPont, chief of Pediatric Cardiac Bioengineering at Boston Children's Hospital, said in a press release.
The robot took longer to reach the leaky valve than a physician guiding a standard catheter, but the surgeons behind the project see their accomplishment as the beginning of automated surgeries where robots handle the mundane tasks.
"The right way to think about this is through the analogy of a fighter pilot and a fighter plane," said DuPont. "The fighter plane takes on the routine tasks like flying the plane, so the pilot can focus on the higher-level tasks of the mission."

The inside story of one of the US' most famous prison breaks is told in a new book from New York Daily News reporter Chelsia Rose Marcius, who spent more than 100 hours interviewing surviving inmate David Sweat, who was shot and captured three weeks after escaping from New York's Clinton Correctional Facility. In an excerpt from Wild Escape published in the Daily News, Marcius recounts how Sweat's escape partner, Richard Matt, noticed prison seamstress Joyce Mitchell seemed to have feelings for Sweat. He saw her crying what Marcius describes as "uncontrollable tears" after Sweat was removed from working in her tailor shop, and asked her what she would do if Sweat ever kissed her. She said she probably wouldn't report Sweat if that happened, and Matt decided the men should use her in their escape plot.
"She's f---ing nuts," Matt reportedly told Sweat. "She'll bring us whatever we want." And thus Mitchell was roped into the plan, smuggling in items including hacksaw blades, a chisel, drill bits, and a steel punch—by hiding them in two pounds of raw hamburger meat she brought in to work. As Marcius explains, prison employees often brought in food and it was not subject to search, so even a tub of raw meat did not raise suspicions. Marcius' book also delves a bit into Mitchell's motivations—she was looking for an escape from her monotonous life, and Sweat, who was the most talented employee she'd ever worked with, "stirred something in her she had long suppressed"—and Sweat's relationship with Matt, who was ultimately killed by authorities. The two bonded, among other things, over art, with Matt inspiring Sweat to take up painting. Click for the full excerpt, which begins on the morning of the escape. (Read more David Sweat stories.)

Space target surveillance generally uses active radars. To take full advantage of passive radars, the idea of using spaceborne illuminators of opportunity for space target detection is presented in this paper. Analysis of the detectable time and direct wave suppression shows that passive radar using spaceborne illuminators of opportunity can effectively detect a Low-Earth-Orbit (LEO) target. Meanwhile, Ku and L band bi-static radar cross section of passive radars that use spaceborne illuminators of opportunity are presented by simulation, providing the basis of choosing space target forward scatter. Finally the key parameters, mainly system gain, accumulation time and radiation source selection are studied. Results show that system size using satellite TV signals as illuminators of opportunity is relatively small. These encouraging results should stimulate the development of passive radar detection of space targets using spaceborne illuminators of opportunity.

As a fan of the writer Tad Williams (author of several fantasy and science fiction novels) and mmo gaming this comes as great news. Development studio RealU, based in Singapore, today announced the MMOG (Massively Multiplayer Online Game) Otherland. Otherland, based on the best-selling novels by fantasy author Tad Williams, will appear for the PC in 2010. As many of future mmo’s to come it’s said to be based on the Unreal Engine 3 and claims to “set new technical standards for the MMOG genre”.
Whether it will set a new “standard for the mmo genre” or not, it’s a great idea if handled right.
Otherland is a series of four science fiction (cyberpunk) novels written by Tad Williams. The story is set in the mid-to-late 21st century (Some hints to a character’s age shows that the story takes place in the 2070s) where technology has advanced somewhat from the modern day. The most notable advancement has been the development of the ability for people to attach themselves fully to a computer via a nerve interface in order to experience an online world, called simply “the net”, as virtually real. Tad Williams weaves an intricate plot spanning four thick volumes and creates a picture of a future society where virtual worlds are fully integrated into everyday life.
Can this be the game actually filling the gap after Anarchy Online? Personally i really hope so. While waiting for the release 2010 i recommend you all to read the 4 novels if you haven’t yet, you wont be disapointed.

Wal-Mart Canada's new RFID program will be entirely voluntary, which is the latest tealeaf suggesting that the chain's new CIO is adopting a gentler tone.
This is all going on with the background that Wal-Mart is still quietly struggling with its RFID efforts. "Wal-Mart is having significant problems.

– Before today, Participated in the Triple H Pre Show Q&A session With McKenzie Mitchell before NXT takeover 31. Here’s what Triple H said in today’s show, which takes place at the newly renovated Capital Wrestling Center, which will be NXT’s new home:
* Triple H talks about the show, which takes place at the Capitol Wrestling Center and feels like a “new day” and “the beginning of something special” for NXT. He talked about tonight’s show not only for the NXT launch, but also for the WWE launch with Capital Wrestling Corporation, founded in 1953 by Jess McMahon.
* Discusses NXT collaboration with Triple H Slipknot lead singer Corey Taylor. Taylor’s song, “Culture Head”, is the theme song for tonight’s NXT Takeover 31 event.
* McKenzie Mitchell and Triple H also started breaking match-ups tonight. After they started discussing Ayo Shiroi vs. Candice Lere, NXT superstar Rhea Ripley interrupted a Q&A session for a show. Rhea Ripley says she is still indebted to Ayo Shiroi for In Your House and wants to reclaim her NXT women’s title. Ripley declares that Shiroi knows she will be waiting for him if Candice hits Leru tonight. Triple H found out that if Candice wins tonight she will also be waiting for Candice Lere.
Triple H Ripley has praised her dominance ever since she stepped into the NXT. Even at her peril, Triple H said, “Rhea Ripley proved every bit as good as she says.” Triple H said it would put money on Ripley to beat the winner of the women’s title match tonight and keep Ripley at the top for years to come. Basically, Ripley reinforces that NXT is looking to match the winner for the NXT Women’s title after the takeover 31.
* Analyzed Triple H Kushida vs. Velvet Dream. He said the following about the Velvet Dream, noting that the Dream is coming to a tough year and that his immaturity in his personal life will affect his career:
“I think Dream saw it a little bit, ‘Kushida is rubbing a little bit here. I’m going to take it away from him, I’m going to draft his success, I’ll take myself to another level.’ Getting out of some tough year for the Velvet Dream, reorganizing himself. You know, Dream is one of those young men, he has not yet found who he wants to be. And I think sometimes his weight will be there. His immaturity in his life will appear in his career and sometimes it will be difficult for him. ”
Triple H praised Kushida for being positive, but Kushida’s attempt to be dignified and humble prevented his NXT run from coming out the way he wanted. As a result, it affects the match with the Velvet Dream tonight, where he encounters a different, unfolding Kushida.
* Adam Cole arrives to talk about tonight’s NXT Championship match between Finn Balor and Kyle O’Reilly. Cole has known for 12 years what it takes for O’Reilly to win the title and be the best in the world. Cole predicts O’Reilly will win the NXT title tonight.
* Triple H asks Adam Cole Point blank, what Adam Cole will do on NXT on Wednesday on the USA network, if Kyle O’Reilly remains champion from NXT takeover 31. Cole said the following:
“Adam Cole is a proud man. Adam Cole has been famous for 12 years for his friend, he’s very proud of his friend at his wedding. Kyle O’Reilly is my brother, and he’s always been my brother. So, tonight’s about Kyle. , Wednesday, it’s also about Kyle. ”
After Adam Cole left, Triple H found that if O’Reilly won, Cole would go for O’Reilly as well.
* Mitchell asks Triple H what it takes for Kyle O’Reilly to win the title and nominate the NXT brand as champion. Triple H he believes. Triple H, O’Reilly said he had the speed to hang out with Finn Balor, and if he beat Finn Balor tonight, O’Reilly would have beaten one of the best in the world. This puts O’Reilly on a different playing field and brings to everyone’s attention that O’Reilly is a “dangerous man”.

Remember the Roomba robot vacuum cleaners? Now there’s a Roomba for your garden, and it’s called Tertill (pronounced “turtle”).
Developed by Franklin Robotics, Tertill is a solar-powered robot that eliminates weeds. Every day, the device charges itself in the sun, and when it has enough power, it patrols for weeds. It’s waterproof, so you won’t have to worry about it getting wet.
Like a Roomba, the Tertill uses sensors to navigate a space. It uses the height of a plant to recognize if it’s good or bad to cut. If the plant is taller than an inch, the robot leaves it alone. Otherwise, the plant is cut.
What Tertill does
The device has two methods of removing weeds:
- A small nylon strong at the bottom of the robot that spins rapidly to cut the weeds.
- The wheels themselves. As the robot drives around, the wheels scrub the surface of the soil, damaging pre-emergent weeds.
Even if a chopped weed sprouts again, Tertill will keep chopping it down until it runs out of stored energy until it powers down.
Since the robot’s clippings are small, they fall back into the ground. This returns the weed’s nutrients to the soil. To keep the robot from cutting certain small plants, place the provided plant collars around your seedlings. Once your plant is larger, you can remove the collars.
Easy to use
There’s no programming needed to use the robot; you just put it in the garden, press its power button, and off it goes. You can use Tertill’s app to learn about your garden’s conditions and what the robot has been doing.
Tertill collects solar power even on cloudy days and uses its energy efficiently so it can keep operating even during overcast periods. Its only limitation is the need for a barrier to prevent it from wandering away from your garden.
Franklin Robotics is currently running a Kickstarter for Tertill to fund its production. Shipments are planned during the spring of 2018.

A friend of mine cooked this one night and I have never been a big seafood eater but I couldn't believe how good the flavours were all together. Its something I often cook now. Its fantastic and easy! Look for the smoked cod in lengths. You get 2 cuts per length.
This is yummy! The sauce was really easy to make but I didn't stick to the amounts- i played it by ear. The mash is good with some parsley and black pepper in it too. I added extra deep fried thin slices of leek on top of the dish which had a lovely crispy oniony taste. It made it look like a restaurant dish. The oil I used to fry the leek in, I used for the fish as well. I thought the smoked fish would be too intense just on its own but it worked really well with the lemony sauce and the creamy mash. - 19 Apr 2010 (Review from Allrecipes AU | NZ)
I haven't tried this yet but sounds lovely, I usually just steam the fish (remember it is cooked and only needs to be heated) in a colander over boiling water for about 10 mins. quicker and nicer than poaching and would never consider frying. We have it with mashed potatoes will add the garlic and parsley sauce will add lemon juice, also a must have is peas. Having tonight, usually have once a month. Just love this... - 15 Sep 2013 (Review from Allrecipes AU | NZ)
I cooked it exactly to the recipe. I did wash the smoked cod and patted dry with paper towel since I was "frying the cod". Frying was watching the fish turn white on very low heat in a sprayed frying pan. I did serve with the peas of LollyLeggs and the fried leaks of Nora. I couldn't believe that something could taste so good and look so good for so little effort!!!! - 10 Aug 2014 (Review from Allrecipes AU | NZ)
