Step 2: Thread your ribbon through 1 of the glass flower beads, then through the rest of the finished crocheted jump rings. String the second glass flower bead at the flip side.
Step 3: Tie a twofold hitch on either side of the mass of jump rings to secure the circles and secure the set up. To wear, tie the necklace at the length you like according to what matches the rest of your outfit.
* Use different sized circles to express a different look.
* Try a monochromatic color palette for a subtler finished effect.
* Use bright colors for when you are in a party mood!
* Make two necklaces, of different lengths, to make a double necklace combo.
* Alternate the jump rings with the glass flower beads.
* Use multiple ribbons of a smaller width using complimentary colors.

“Queen Mary” Is Denmark’s first Black Woman Statue, commemorating a resistor of colonial oppression.
Mary Thomas led the largest labor revolt in which statue artist Jeanette Ehlers calls Denmark’s “forgotten colonial past.”
It was known as the “Fireburn” revolt of 1878, where Thomas and others working on plantations in St.Croix, set fire to the island to demand better conditions for people forced to work with little pay. Thomas became known as “Queen Mary” while leading to revolt, alongside two other riot “queens.”
Ehlers explained, “The Queens of the Fireburn took action and fought against the oppressive colonial system, we are confronting present day’s racism and Eurocentrism by claiming a space for our narratives.”
She and Virgin Islands artist La Vaughn Belle collaborated to commemorate “Queen Mary” on the 100th anniversary of Denmark’s Sale of the Virgin Islands.
“It’s a hybrid of our bodies, nations and narratives. It extends the conversation beyond the centennial year and get people to really question what is their relationship to this history.” Belle explained.
The sculpture stands on Copenhagen’s waterfront near the West Indian Warehouse that used to store goods imported from its colonies. The artists hope the statue serves as a reminder of Denmark’s dark colonial past.

Aron Johannsson is officially locked in as a member of the U.S. men's national team.
FIFA approved Johannsson's one-time international allegiance switch on Tuesday, making him a full-fledged U.S. player, one who is eligible to participate in Wednesday's friendly against Bosnia-Herzegovina in Sarajevo.
Originally, the Alabama-born Johannsson, who previously represented the Iceland U-21 side and had to file his appeal to switch to the USA, was called in just to be integrated into Jurgen Klinsmann's squad and train while watching the rest of the 21 available players suit up. Instead, he'll be able to step onto the field donning a U.S. crest, should Klinsmann call his number.
"I'm super happy," Johannsson said in a U.S. Soccer statement. "When I came here, I didn't expect that I was going to be eligible to play. The coach told me right after training that the approval came through. I'm very excited."
Johannsson, 22, has already scored three goals in three games -- two coming from the penalty spot -- in all competitions for AZ Alkmaar, where he has succeeded USA's Jozy Altidore as the top striker on the squad after moving there from AGF Aarhus in the winter. Now, he'll be joining forces with Altidore on the international level, potentially as early as Wednesday.
“We are obviously very thrilled for Aron,” Klinsmann said. “It’s an exciting time for him. He’s done a great job in these couple days getting to know the guys. Hopefully if the game goes well tomorrow night, there will be a chance for him to make his debut with the U.S. national team.”
The news is not likely to be received as well in Iceland, where Johannsson moved with his Icelandic parents at age 3. The country's FA chief had previously alleged that the player's switch was against the rules -- despite Johannsson meeting all of the necessary requirements -- while urging the striker to reconsider his decision.

Low ZoneLocated 3 kilometres east-southeast of the Shalosky gold-in-soil anomaly at the Low Zone, a series of 3 contiguous 1 metre long samples were collected in 2010 and returned gold assays of 8.75 g/t, 18.95 g/t and 12.4 g/t for a weighted average of 13.37 g/t gold.
Moving 5 metres to the west, 2 contiguous 1 metre samples returned 3.51 g/t and 3.03 g/t gold.
A further 150 metres to the west, channel sampling returned a weighted average of 3.76 g/t gold over 4 metres with a perpendicular channel sample yielding 6.23 g/t gold over 0.5 metre. Individual rock samples collected along the Low zone returned from 0.01 g/t to 18.95 g/t gold.
In 2011, Rhyolite tested the Low area with four diamond drill holes comprising 536 meters. This drilling covered a 160 meter area.
The Low zone is hosted in a steeply dipping, east-west trending shear zone that contains quartz-sulphide veining, brecciation and fault gouge. The mineralized structure has been intermittently traced in surface samples along strike for 150 metres before disappearing under overburden at both ends of the exposed extent.

Austin homeowners, along with large-scale irrigators, may have a chance to see a reduction in water fees by becoming part of Austin’s reclaimed water program.
Over 50 miles of reclaimed water runs in pipes beneath the streets, water that can be used for virtually anything other than top quality drinking water. For homeowners, such uses may include irrigation, decorative fountains and ponds, or toilet flushing. Reclaimed water also has many advantages in industrial usage and cooling towers.
Usually, up to 50% of a community’s drinking water is used for irrigation. With reclaimed water, customers can save precious drinking water while saving money. Users may also save on fertilizer, as reclaimed water has higher remainders of nitrogen and phosphorus. The use of reclaimed water also reduces the disposal of wastewater into waterways, lowering the nutrient overload these rivers often receive. Reclaimed water is a sustainable choice and a wise alternative to the use of drinking water for irrigation.
Reclaimed water is recycled from wastewater that comes from homes and businesses. It is then treated and made available for a variety of uses. It is less expensive to use or treat, around one-third the price of drinking water. It is treated for increased safety before being released back into the water system as standard effluent.
Clear and odorless, reclaimed water meets 90% of the standards for drinking water. It is not harmful to humans. Austin’s reclaimed water has passed all state and federal standards for non-potable water use.
New commercial developments are now required by city code to tap into the system for irrigation, cooling, and other uses.
Austin’s reclaimed water is also made available to those with water-hauling trucks at reclaimed water bulk water facilities throughout the area.
To see if your area is eligible to tap into the reclaimed water system, call Austin water at 512-972-0074. Reclaimed water may not be accessible or appropriate for all customers.

When Leonard Reynen was diagnosed with schizophrenia, at age 18, he thought his life was over.
The Algonquin College public relations student had seen what the mental illness had meant for the lives of his two uncles. One died by suicide, another is in care at the Royal Ottawa.
tap here to see other videos from our team.
“I thought I was going to have to reside in a mental health facility or end up dead or homeless.”
But, despite some struggles, that has not been his storyline. And that is one reason the 27-year-old is speaking out about living with schizophrenia: to help dispel the many myths and help others to know they are not alone.
The Schizophrenia Society of Canada says one in 100 Canadians — or one per cent of the population — is affected by schizophrenia. And while there is no single course of treatment, a combination of drug, talk and other therapies can help people with the disease to lead healthy and rewarding lives.
Despite all the attention focused on ending mental health stigma, there is still work to be done when it comes to schizophrenia, which remains widely stigmatized and misunderstood. Tuesday is Schizophrenia Awareness Day, which aims to change that.
Reynen, who is finishing his public relations program and set to begin working with the Canadian Mental Health Association as an intern, said it took some time for him to find the right treatment. But with that and the support of his family, he has learned to cope with his symptoms.
“Thankfully, I have a really supportive family and the doctors have been amazing. I took several cracks at post-secondary education, but I am finally finishing it.”
Reynen went through difficult periods starting in his teen years before he was diagnosed with schizophrenia. After a childhood during which he was a star athlete and gifted student, he developed depression and suicidal ideation. To deal with it, he turned to drugs and alcohol “which only made matters worse,” he said in a recent speech at the Mental Health Gala in Ottawa.
Reynen said he still carries scars from self-harm. He attempted suicide and, for a time, felt like he was living in The Truman Show — a movie about a television show that revolves around the main character’s life — due to paranoid delusions.
Sobriety, he said, has been an important step to help him get his life on track.
“I haven’t had a suicide attempt in years and will never attempt suicide again,” he said. “I have reached a point where I can honestly say I am happy to be alive.”
Reynen said he knows there are many people who, like him, struggle with mental illness, which is why he is being public about his struggles.
“Not everyone with an illness is in a position where they have the capability to speak about it,” he said. “That is why I got into public relations. I knew I didn’t have it in me to be a social worker or a doctor, but I can write and speak relatively well. I figured I would use those skills to help people with mental health challenges.”
Last year, Reynen’s convinced his fellow public relations students to support the schizophrenia program at the Royal Ottawa Mental Health Centre as part of a classroom campaign.
“For a long time, I have hidden myself, worried about what could happen and how people will see me,” said Reynen. “By taking a stand, I am not just standing up for myself, but for every other person dealing with schizophrenia.”
Generally appearing in young people between the ages of 15 and 30, schizophrenia is a devastating mental illness. When untreated, schizophrenia interferes with a person’s ability to think clearly, manage emotions, make decisions, and relate to others. Psychosis, involving hallucinations and delusions, is a common symptom of schizophrenia, but individuals with it are no more dangerous than the general population.
For most people who develop a schizophrenic psychotic disorder, it will be a chronic illness, and early intervention can make a huge difference, according to the Schizophrenia Society of Canada.

Huge product selection including tinctures, CBD oil drops, gummies, and many others. There’s a complete transparency policy on the subject green roads cbd oil of Inexperienced Roads CBD products.

On this episode of The Federalist Radio Hour, director of the Office of Management and Budget Russell Vought joins Ben Domenech to discuss how his office responded to the discovery of the recent critical race theory curriculum being used by federal agencies.
After news broke last week that federal agencies were implementing critical race theory into their diversity training, Vought said that his office took swift action issuing a cease and desist letter against the “problematic and un-American” content.
“The result that comes out of that viewpoint is that America is racist and white people are racist as a whole. And it’s impossible for a regime to survive when its federal government is telling its federal workers that the very country that they are serving, let alone citizens that reported it, are propagating a racist system,” Vought explained.
While Vought says diversity is something the government prioritizes, his agency desires to implement and facilitate a diversity curriculum that unites

Praise for BILLIONS OF DROPS in MILLIONS OF BUCKETS «Billions of Drops in Millions of Buckets provides a bracing and original look at philan-thropy that offers a much-needed corrective to conventional wisdom. Steve Goldberg combines a resolve to understand why so much philanthropy accomplishes so little enduring social change with a timely and serious proposal to reinvigorate nonprofit capital markets through the simplest of insights: getting more of the money to where it can do the most good. This book will change how forward-looking philanthropists, foundations, and policymakers think about the relationship between charitable giving and the transformative capacity of social entrepreneurs.» —Jerr Boschee, founder and Executive Director, The Institute for Social Entrepreneurs; Visiting Professor of the Practice in Social Enterprise, Carnegie Mellon University «Goldberg's arguments are logical next steps in the rapidly evolving discussion of social capital markets. He offers ambitious proposals informed by the reality of current practices and focused on an achievable set of goals. He fully recognizes the potential for restructuring that is inherent in this time of financial hardship. Real change relies on big ideas, and Steve Goldberg offers us several.» —Lucy Bernholz, author of Creating Philanthropic Capital Markets: The Deliberate Evolution «When I first heard about 'evidence-based medicine,' I thought: 'you mean it isn't?' Read this book and that's how you'll feel about 'performance-based philanthropy.' Goldberg takes some of the best current management thinking and applies it to social enterprise, illuminating both the encouraging successes of social entrepreneurs and the barriers they face. Even better, he presents compelling ideas for making the social sector vastly more effective.» —Christopher Meyer, Chief Executive, Monitor Networks «Goldberg calls for more 'performance-driven philanthropy,' where nonprofits are rewarded based on their results, in place of the current dysfunction. It is an important call and a valuable contribution to discussions about how to improve nonprofits in the U.S. and internationally.» —Martin Brookes, Chief Executive, New Philanthropy Capital «Billions of Drops… is a must-read romp through emerging fields of social entrepre-neurship and nonprofit capital markets.» —George Overholser, founder and Managing Director, NFF Capital Partners

Georgia SOS orders audit of signatures on Cobb County mail in ballots
On Monday, Georgia Democratic electors cast the state’s 16 votes for former Vice President Joe Biden and Sen. Kamala Harris, formally sealing Biden’s win in Georgia. At the same time, the Republican electors chosen should President Donald Trump and Vice President Mike Pence have won in Georgia met in a committee room and cast their votes for the Trump/Pence ticket. But since Biden/Harris ticket garnered about 12,000 more votes than Trump did, the votes by the Democratic electors are the official count for Georgia.
At the same time, however, audits on the validity of the Georgia vote continues. Monday, Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger has ordered a signature-match audit of absentee ballot envelopes in Cobb County. In a press conference announcing the audit, Raffensperger said it was being done to promote faith in the election system ahead of next month’s U.S. Senate runoff elections. He said it was in response to a “specific allegation,” that the verification process was not followed properly. It is expected to take two weeks and would likely be followed up with a longer statewide study of mail-in signatures by independent auditors.
Gov. Brian Kemp released a statement on the steps taken by the Secretary of State.
“I am glad Secretary Raffensperger has finally taken this necessary step to begin restoring confidence in our state’s election processes. I have called for a signature audit repeatedly since the November 3rd election. As Georgians head back to the polls for the January 5th runoffs, it is absolutely vital for every vote cast to be legal and for only legal votes to be counted,” Kemp said.

Garnett Kilberg Cohen has published two previous collections of short stories, Lost Women, Banished Souls (U of Missouri Press) and How We Move the Air (Mayapple Press). Her fiction has garnered many awards, including the Crazyhorse Fiction Prize and a Special Mention from the Pushcart Prize. She is a professor in the Creative Writing Department at Columbia College Chicago, where she directs the Nonfiction BA Program.
Christine Sneed describes Cohen’s stories as “often suspenseful, always beautifully written, subtle, and witty.” She adds that Cohen “shows us the world we inhabit with startling clarity, beauty, and memorable strangeness.” Cohen explores the theme of endings–whether superficial or monumental–in her most recent short story collection Swarm to Glory (Wiseblood Books). One of the stories, “Bad News,” won the Lawrence Foundation Prize from Michigan Quarterly Review in 2003. I ask Cohen about the process involved in writing and revising “Bad News” in this e-mail interview.
The structure in “Bad News” is particularly interesting. The phone conversation with the mother triggers the narrator’s recollections of events, where most of the story unfolds. How did you come up with it?
I read a line saying something about most conversations taking place primarily in the minds of those engaged in the conversation. I thought the observation was astute, and I wanted to write something with a structure that played with this idea. I’ve had countless conversations where I haven’t said even a quarter of what I’ve thought—some of these unspoken musings are because the mind wanders and plays association games, but others are because as thoughtful, social beings, we are always editing ourselves, holding back items that we’re not brave enough to say, or might hurt the other person’s feelings or reveal too much about ourselves.
I think this is one of the reasons past conversations are so often remembered differently by the speakers. While their verbal conversation was taking place, two cerebral conversations were running along beside it. The speakers remember what they held back or what they thought the other person meant as well as what was actually said.
Did you start off with the structure in mind or discover it along the way?
In the case of “Bad News,” I believe I started with a hazy idea of the structure and with the line, “I have some bad news.” (My own mother often called me with bad news.) If recollection serves me correctly, I think I was only going to have the mother’s lines spoken (and thus, italicized and set apart) and have all of the daughter’s conversation in her head while her mother monologued. I had seen a story done in a similar way—a person listening to a speaker in a ceremony. But that wasn’t working with my story; they both had to be speaking in order for it to seem natural and to convey the relationship between mother and daughter.
All but two or three of the stories in Swarm to Glory have some elements of the autobiographical in them. I would say that “Bad News” has the most—of course, all switched around and fictionalized and placed in different contexts. But simply fictionalizing many of the “facts” is rarely enough to keep me interested. With some stories, it is the language or situational invention that transforms the real into art. With “Bad News” it was the structure. When one has been writing for a long time, it is important to find new methods for generating material and/or approaching that material. I have tried both discovering the structure as the story develops and beginning with a structure and trying to fill it.
Has your writing process changed since you wrote “Bad News”?
“Bad News” is one of the older stories in the book. I wrote it a little over 10 years ago and it was accepted by MQR almost immediately afterwards and appeared in the summer 2003 issue. I took a break from focusing on fiction and have been writing more nonfiction than fiction over the last 5-6 years (see my piece, “Toledo, 124 Miles” in MQR in 2010). I think shaking it up that way—shifting genres–has actually made my fiction more experimental in the last year or two in terms of form & structure. Most of the stories in Swarm are somewhat traditional in structure—not so with much of the fiction and nonfiction I’ve been writing lately.
Let’s talk about revision. Where did you make the most changes from first draft to MQR publication?
My revision process is so recursive—back and forth as I’m writing—that it is not easy to pinpoint when and where I made changes. Usually when I am well into a story and feeling inspired, I go into a kind of manic state where I might change the ending in a way that makes me change something in the beginning which prompts me to read through the story again, thus inspiring the creation of new scenes, new characters, or changes in language or added imagery. I jump all over in a way that does not lend itself to saving completed drafts of various versions. I usually only have one copy that I keep working and reworking. That said, I do keep multiple drafts of some pieces, generally longer ones or book manuscripts, where I need to see how they have changed. And I also have some drafts of shorter pieces that I have taken to my writing group (all accomplished writers), so I do know how those drafts have changed from when they were critiqued to when they made it into print. I did not save earlier drafts of “Bad News,” though I do remember that in my first version, the narrator was thinking in the opening about all the things she had long ago lost count of, such as how many hamburgers she had eaten; someone in the group suggested I change the items into things that were more organic and germane to the story. So I changed it to her not being able to count all the people she had kissed.
Did you make any more revisions for your short story collection? Were there still changes you wanted to make?
Most of the final revisions I made in Swarm to Glory were concerned with making the stories work in unison in one collection. I wanted to be sure there was cohesion but not so much similarity that the collection felt repetitive. The editor and I both caught errors—he noticed a card game in which four players are needed but I had only two characters playing, so we changed the game—but no real sweeping changes were made, as most of the stories had been published individually in journals before they were pulled together into a collection. The most fun I had once the collection was accepted by Wise Blood Books was working with the publisher, editor, and designer on the cover. I offered some suggestions and, then, the designer conceptualized them and changed them according to my suggestions. Once the drawing was complete, we all viewed various color combinations. I love the image on my prior collection, How We Move the Air, taken from a work by the wonderful writer and artist Audrey Niffenegger, but I felt most involved in creating this cover, every step of the way.
Once a book is in print, there are always things I would change—the process could be endless. Some are small errors. In Swarm to Glory, I pulled one story from the collection right before publication because it did not seem to fit as well as the others and I thought it might work better in a new collection I’m writing. But when the book came out I realized that the story had actually provided a nice buffer for two stories that I feel have main characters that are too similar. But, I realize, there will always be something!

How have prices appreciated since 2011?
Paragon has recently released a report entitled “Appreciation of San Francisco Houses Since 2011” – and I’m betting it won’t be hard for you to figure out what it’s all about. It comes with the standard caveat: median sales price is an extremely general statistic that often veils a huge disparity of values in underlying individual sales. In addition, other factors such as changes in housing segments and available inventory can have their own effects on these figures. In other words, let the homebuyer beware.
When looking at the chart that accompanies this post, keep in mind that they’re grouped by San Francisco Realtor District, some of which have neighborhoods that have similar values, while others have home values that vary highly. Speaking in general, the statistics are more reliable the higher the number of sales. If you see an asterisk, that signifies a very low number of annual sales (often less than 20-something) and/or Paragon’s suspicion that the appreciation calculation would not reflect the reality of the market.
It’s also important to remember that, in 2011, median prices in some areas (and in particular the southern border neighborhoods of the city) were badly distorted by bank and short sales that didn’t represent fair-market values. In these areas, the four-year appreciation rate will jump higher.

"This solution is impeccable."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is the Junos operating system."
"I like the simplicity of it."
"The Juniper Ethernet switch feature I find the most valuable is reliability."
"The thing that sets Juniper apart from most switches is that when you're in the command line and you make a configuration change, you just write the command and then say "commit confirmed minutes". For example, I'm configuring a switch here in my office, which is five miles away, and I say, "commit confirmed 5". If I can't get back to the interface within five minutes to be able to make sure the switch came up, it rolls back to the previous configuration. This way I do not get locked out, or the switch doesn't get messed up because of the incorrect configuration. That's an automatic feature, which is pretty slick. I haven't seen that feature with other vendors that I've worked with. That's probably my most favorite feature."
"It's easy to use."
"The most valuable feature is that Juniper is multiple kernels, so there's isolation, which means you won't get a process that runs away, creating problems across the whole platform."
"In terms of performance, Juniper switches have a more user-friendly interface and more features than Cisco products."
"Tech support has always been good."
"Cisco Ethernet Switches are stable."
"I have found the solution to have good scalability. Cisco is the pioneers on switching technology, they are very good."
"The security of the switches is pretty impressive. There are many security features available on the product."
"The most valuable aspect of the solution is the ability to manage the switches and the ability to have a certain level of familiarity with setting up and configuring the switches."
"The solution offers great bandwidth and speed."
"The features that I have found most valuable are that it is easy to use and it has good technical support."
"Technical support is excellent. They are very helpful."
"Remote access to the router is a huge time saver."
"The solution is less expensive than other options."
"The ePoE+ is great."
"Stability could be better, especially during a reboot. We have had some issues recently with the software getting corrupt on reboot, which causes a lot of downtime."
"The management tools are limited in their abilities, and suffer from upgrade problems."
"In an upcoming release, Juniper Ethernet Switches could improve by having more microservices."
"The price is in the intermediate range. It is not overly expensive, but also not cheap. It could stand improvement."
"I have found the scalability could be improved in the version I was using."
"I would like the ability to operate with other operating systems."
"The interface could be better. It needs improvement."
"Jupiter Switches' configuration is a little difficult to understand."
"Cisco could also open the API up to work closely with other systems."
"In terms of features, all features are there. I can't find anything new that needs to be added. Its price, however, is a bit higher than other brands and can be improved."
"Cisco products are expensive compared to any other solution. Now, there are many competitors that give the same level of services - such as Juniper or Aruba."
"You have to be Cisco-certified to work on Cisco products, so we can't get into Cisco to do even basic configurations."
"There are some GUI configuration improvements that they can implement in the future for the product models."
"Cisco Ethernet Switches could improve if they removed the command line interface and replaced it with a better GUI. It is too difficult at the moment, we always need to figure out the commands."
"Cisco is not user-friendly. It would be best if you had a technical expert. The graphical user interface is more like a command line, and most functionalities are on the command line."
"I don't like that you have to have a license of 10 years to use the switch. I don't understand that policy."
"You do need to be an IT person in order to handle the initial setup. An AV person would struggle a bit."
"The documentation could be improved; it's quite basic."
"Documentation and access to it could be greatly improved."

I am trying to use places API for my android app to find nearby places and the current device location. The problem is the android SDK recommended by Google itself does not support this function and I have to try to implement somehow the Places API into my app. When I read their docs it just shows only a line of code, more precisely a link containing the parameters needed for search. The question is how should I implement or what would be the code of reading this link and transferring the containing data to a map? Optionally, how would be possible to add markers as well?
I am really confused. Google deprecated the old library and added this SDK that they try to push into everywhere, however it seems to be poor in functionalities. I have found a library designed for that called java-google-maps-services. It was not much of a help though.

CHENNAI : Chamomile is a herb that comes from the daisy-like flowers of the Asteraceae plant family. It has been consumed for centuries as a natural remedy for several health conditions. To make chamomile tea, the flowers are dried and then infused into hot water. Many people enjoy chamomile tea as a caffeine-free alternative to black or green tea and for its earthy, somewhat sweet taste. Furthermore, chamomile tea is loaded with antioxidants that may play a role in lowering your risk of several diseases, including heart disease and cancer. Chamomile has properties that may aid sleep and digestion, as well. It has several health benefits.
HEALTH BENEFITS IMPROVES SLEEP QUALITY
Chamomile tea has some unique properties that may benefit the quality of your sleep. It contains apigenin, an antioxidant that binds to certain receptors in your brain that may promote sleep and reduce insomnia, or the chronic inability to sleep. So it is better to have this tea post your dinner.
IMPROVES SKIN HEALTH
It helps in curing skin irritations and skin conditions such as eczema due to anti- inflammatory and anti – oxidant rich nature. It can also significantly improves healing and lessen the appearance of blemishes and wrinkles on the face. It also helps in eliminating oxidative stress and boosting the immune response. Thus it makes the wonders for your skin.
The strong antispasmodic and anti-inflammatory properties of chamomile tea are highly effective in treating stomach and intestinal cramps. Consuming this tea regularly also helps to get rid of problems like irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), nausea, muscle spasms, stomach flu, and gastroenteritis.
RELIEVES STRESS AND ANXIETY
One of the most popular uses of Chamomile tea is in the treatment of stress and anxiety. After a long day at work, the warm, soothing nature of this tea can help increase the levels of serotonin and melatonin in your body. These hormones can successfully eliminate stress and worry. It also provides instant relief from migraines and headaches. It also helps in slowing down your mind and eliminating the classic symptoms of anxiety.
Recent research has shown that chamomile tea can be useful for people suffering from diabetes. It helps in lowering blood sugar levels and regulating the amount of insulin in the blood, the powerful organic chemicals in it helps to eliminate massive drops and spikes in blood sugar level.
Chamomile tea is very safe to drink, and many people enjoy drinking it for its delicious taste and comforting aroma and health benefits. Even though it has several health benefits, it should be taken in moderation like one cup per day. And there is no proper research for recommending Chamomile tea for pregnant women

Honda Civic Specifications
For many years, the Honda Civic has appeal to those looking for an affordable compact car. The latest generation goes a step further, with features that would have been considered luxurious not long ago. In addition, the 2023 model offers handsome interior trim and several other bells and whistles.
You can choose from a sedan or hatchback model, and four-cylinder engines are available in abundance. You also get to pick between a continuously-variable automatic (CVT) or six-speed manual transmission. Lastly, all models come with touchscreen infotainment capabilities along with an impressive list of driver-assistance features that just keep getting better the higher up you go in the lineup.
The Civic's value, efficiency, features, and excellent road manners make it a clear choice over other well-respected rivals like the Hyundai Elantra, Mazda 3, and Toyota Corolla. Simply put, you can't go wrong with this car.
Engine, Transmission, and Performance
Even though it redesigned almost everything else about the new Civic, Honda chose to keep the same powertrain options from the older car. The base model comes standard with a 158-hp 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine, and the upgrade still is a turbocharged 1.5-liter four-cylinder that makes 180 horsepower.
The new Civic is only available as a front-wheel-drive car. Unfortunately, the manual transmission offered on the previous generation Civic sedan has been discontinued for 2022, leaving a continuously variable automatic transmission (CVT) as the sole option; a six-speed manual is still available on the hatchback model, though. At our test track, our turbocharged Touring sedan needed 7.5 seconds to reach 60 mph, which is slightly slower than the last generation Civic's result.
Topping out at 7.3 seconds to 60 mph, our test of the manual Sport Touring hatchback was only slightly slower than its predecessor. We're happy to report that the nimble handling, communicative steering, and well-balanced ride we appreciated in the last generation are all still present here. As before, both a sporty Si and seriously sporty high-performance Type R variant are available.
Interior, Comfort, and Cargo
The interior design features clean lines and a hidden, honeycomb-patterned mesh dashboard. The wide center console appears less cluttered than the outgoing model's and includes a large bin for stashing smartphones, keys, and snacks. Honda says its cargo bay offers more space than before without sacrificing passenger room.
Infotainment and Connectivity
The standard Civic comes with a 7.0-inch touchscreen display for your infotainment system, but you have the option to upgrade to a larger 9.0-inch unit. You can also choose to get a 10.2-inch digital gauge display instead. Both Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are included as standard features, and they offer wireless connectivity when used with the bigger screen size. Other optional features include in-dash navigation, a Bose stereo system, and a wireless phone charger pad built into the dash.
Which Honda Civic engine is the best?
Both the K20 and the K24 have proven to be one of the greatest four-cylinder engines ever built, with affordable parts with vast potential and a following that's led to people swapping them into every type of car you can imagine
Is the Honda Civic a good reliable car?
Over the years, the Honda Civic has consistently earned high scores in predicted reliability ratings. Regardless of the year model, it's one of the most dependable compact cars on the market.
Is Honda Civic better than Hyundai?
The Honda Civic is the stronger of the two with 158 hp and 138 lb-ft of torque, while the Hyundai Elantra falls a little short with its specs of 147 hp and 132 lb-ft of torque. Additionally, the Civic lineup is much more diverse overall with tons of trim levels and options.
Is Honda as reliable as Toyota?
The Toyota vehicles also consistently last longer than any Honda. According to statistics based on consumer reports, Toyota is the second most reliable automaker after Mazda, and Corolla is the most reliable model. Honda didn't even make it to the top 10 for average reliability.


Student pretends to be MP and is now being investigated by the House of Commons
Share This Article:
A student has been pretending to be an MP for a non-existent constituency, claiming it is
Ellen Kenyon Peers set up a fake Twitter account and website under the name, Ana Key MP - supposedly playing on the word, ‘anarchy.’ She claimed she was the first Socialist MP to be elected, having won the seat of Deptford and Greenwich, which does not currently exist.
Her website consists of forms for people to fill out with any concerns or issues they have. She also lists her pledges as MP, under the heading, "What do Socialists stand for?"
She even wrote a letter last month on paper with a fake House of Commons header, detailing concerns over bicycle safety.
Peers spoke to The Telegraph, stating that it is “a conceptual art project about what it would be like if a genuinely left-wing MP was elected" and claimed to have no intention of deception.
After it was revealed that Peers is not actually an MP, she released a statement on her Twitter account: “To put minds at rest, I would like to confirm that no potential ‘constituents’ have contacted me (ever) unless they had already agreed to be a part of the project.
“With regards to whether or not someone may have mistaken me for their MP: if people don’t know who their MP is immediately after a general election, we have a serious problem on our hands.
“The quotes on the website are real and were contributed by participants of the project and reflect the concerns of those living, working and attending college in the area.
“This demonstrates that sitting MPs are not dealing with issues that affect residents.”
The real MP, Vicky Foxcroft, represents Lewisham and Deptford and has spoken out about the possible damage this “project” may have done to local residents, as well as stating it could very well be illegal.
Foxcroft also spoke to The Telegraph, stating: “I have contacted the Security Operations Centre and it has been escalated to the police and Parliamentary Investigation Team.
From a casework perspective, I think this is extremely irresponsible.”
A spokesperson for The House of Commons told the Telegraph that they are aware of the possible severe consequences this stunt could have made and that “appropriate steps will, if necessary, be taken after it has been investigated by the Metropolitan Police.”
The Ana Key MP Twitter account has since been suspended.

XJet Ltd., the additive manufacturing company pioneering NanoParticle Jetting (NPJ) technology, announced the first global installation of its XJet Carmel 1400 additive manufacturing (AM) system at citim. citim is a part of the Oerlikon Group and a leading international service provider of additively manufactured parts.
XJet claims the Carmel 1400, with the company’s patented NPJ technology, is poised to transform the metal and ceramic AM industries by its ability to print separate nanoparticle “inks” or fluids for the build and support material. This capability enables ceramic or metal parts to be produced with the ease and versatility often associated with inkjet printing.
The XJet Carmel 1400 AM prints layers as fine as only a few microns thick. Thus, this technology allows complex geometries with superfine details from as little as 0.1 mm to be created simply and safely.
The machine features a 1,400 square cm build tray for high-capacity production. It is suitable for a range of AM applications in diverse industries, from healthcare to manufacturing.
Oerlikon’s AM part production site in Barleben, Germany, will field test the XJet. Initially, the AM system is configured to manufacture ceramic parts (ceramic zirconia). At a later stage, the system will be used to manufacture metal components that require fine details.

Under India's G-20 leadership, the University of Kashmir conducted international Y20 dialogue sessions. At the two-day conference held at the University of Kashmir in Srinagar, Jammu and Kashmir, 17 young delegates from G20 nations including Indonesia, Mexico, Turkey, Russia, Japan, the Republic of Korea, the United States, Brazil, and Nigeria participated.
A consultative conference with the theme "Climate Change and Disaster Risk Reduction: Making Sustainability a Way of Life" was conducted under the auspices of India's G20 Presidency.
Students around the globe have come for the Y20 conference, which is being hosted in this location. The policymakers will be informed of their concerns on climate change after they have kept their points. These same students can someday become leaders for climate change if they band together today to maintain their position in front of others.
The concepts developed will eventually be brought to the G20 forum and will help shape policy in important areas. The Department of Science and Technology, Government of India, has recognized the University as a Centre of Excellence in Glacial Studies in the Western Himalayas in recognition of the university's extensive study on the topic of climate change.
From expertise in glacier studies and climate change, the University of Kashmir selected this field to address regional problems with man-made catastrophe management and climate change. In order to confront and mitigate the effects of climate change, the meeting aims to inspire students to express their ideas.
The University of Kashmir was chosen to hold the Youth20 consultation during the G20 presidency out of 15 prestigious Indian institutions, as part of India's efforts to engage young people in climate change debates.
India has a culture that emphasizes sustainable living. The Atharv Veda's Prithvi Sukta, which honors mother earth by highlighting her resources and urges people to use them sustainably, was written long before the rest of the world understood the value of sustainable living. The Lt. Governor stated that Yajurveda spoke about living in harmony with the soil, water, and trees as well as to prioritize the use of natural resources thousands of years before the term "sustainable lifestyle" became well-known worldwide.

If you unwrapped a brand-new iPhone or Fitbit over the holidays, what would you do with your old device?
Or maybe you dealt with a shiny new digital single-lens or mirrorless camera on Black Friday, so you no longer need to hold on to the Canon Rebel T5i from 2013.
Understandably, many turn to apps and the web to sell used or unwanted technology.
After all, you’ll not only help declutter your home by getting rid of gadgets you don’t have any use for, but you’ll also likely be able to use that extra money to pay off the big credit card bills you might encounter later in January.
You have several ways to offload your stuff: online classifieds sites (like Craigslist and Facebook Marketplace), peer-to-peer marketplaces (like eBay) and an increasingly popular option is to sell to a platform that gives you money to take technology out of your hands and they might resell to someone looking for a deal . Examples include Decluttr and Gazelle for mobile phones and MacBooks, and MPB for camera equipment.
► Talking Tech newsletter: Subscribe for our guide to the biggest tech news of the week
“Honestly, a lot of people are surprised at the value they can get from the technology used, especially photo and video equipment,” says Tammy Oller, MPB’s Head of Brand Marketing in North America.
“Often there’s an Antiques Roadshow kind of backlash, where people get their quote back and say ‘Oh, I had no idea it was worth that much,'” Oler adds. He may appreciate spending less on your used equipment, which we check first and guarantee.”
Here’s a closer look at each of the three main ways to sell your technology online, with tips to increase your experience in each of them:
It’s not new, but many are turning to online classifieds sites and apps to find a buyer for their unwanted technology.
With platforms like Craigslist, Facebook Marketplace, and Kijiji (famous in Canada), you can post your listing for free and hope to find a buyer in your area.
You will usually meet in person to make the transaction, so be careful when doing this; Only meet in public, during the day and maybe take a friend with you. Selling larger items, such as a TV, is obviously a different story, so make sure you have other adults around the house with you.
Accept cash only, not check. The buyer will understandably want to inspect what you’re selling, so make sure you’re fully functional and include as much original packaging, documentation, and accessories (such as charging cables) as possible.
For your post, try to make it stand out from the rest. Use some eye-catching words in your title, perhaps phrases like “discounted price” or “mint quality” as examples. Take good pictures of what you’re selling and be as descriptive about the product as possible, to avoid any frustration during the selling process, including the model number and product condition.
► Do you need to take a screenshot? Here’s how to capture it on any device
My favorite classifieds tip is to maximize your reach, which you can do in two (and free) ways. One is to post many listings for the same product but in a different category. For example, a Bluetooth speaker can be included in audio, electronics, smartphone accessories, and the home. Since it’s free, just copy and paste the text and maybe edit the title, description or images.
You can also publish in different neighborhoods: While you select a specific city to publish your listing, you can also publish in a few surrounding suburbs to increase the odds of your ad showing.
Some online classified sites let you pay a little to get your listing to the top of the page.
Compared to online classifieds sites, the benefit of a huge marketplace, such as eBay, is that you cater to potential buyers across the country – or even internationally – as opposed to just local.
Once someone buys the item you’re selling (or successfully bids on it), you’ll ship it to them, which you should do soon after they sell, to make sure the buyer is happy — and likely to give you a good review (if happy with the product too), which helps The reputation of the seller will hopefully lead to repeat business from the same buyer.
Reviews and star ratings are very important in the markets.
As for how much your item sells for, make sure your item is at a competitive price as shoppers compare your item to others. A tip is to offer free shipping – even if you have to increase the price of the product a little, you will likely sell it faster.
► Oh, chip: Canon scrambles because its printers think their ink cartridges are fake due to lack of chips
When buyers have shown interest in your product but haven’t completed the transaction yet, eBay suggests taking advantage of the Offer to Buyers Tool, which allows you to begin the negotiation process with potential buyers. You can bid for a buyer if they see your item or put them in their cart but haven’t registered within a few days.
To increase the odds of your item selling quickly, think about the time of year and offload the things people want. Sell your camping gear in the summer, not in the winter. Christmas items will be better in early December than in March. You found the idea.
Interestingly, eBay says Sunday is the busiest day for purchases, followed by Saturday and Monday.
► Sell it safely: 6 Apps and Websites Where You Can Sell Almost Anything
Sell your technology for a platform
In contrast to the “peer-to-peer” approach, where you need to find and engage with a buyer, a handful of sites offer to buy used technology directly, which may be more ideal for those who don’t have a lot of time to sell it directly to someone else (and with classifieds Meet them in person for the transaction).
These platforms sell used technology to those who may not be able to purchase a brand new device at retail.
In other words, it’s a win-win, not to mention that the “circular economy” is also a boon for the environment, as it focuses on the reuse, repair, refurbishment and reuse of old or unwanted electronic devices.
Like Decluttr for smartphones, MacBooks, and game consoles, MPB asks sellers to fill out an online form for an instant quote for photographic and video equipment, before it is packaged and sent to its Brooklyn, New York facility (via secured Fedex, paid by MPB).
You will need to select the make, model and condition of what you want to sell – camera bodies, lenses, filters and accessories – which will then be checked and verified by a team of camera experts.
MPB, “the largest online platform specializing in used photo and video equipment,” Oler says, will then deposit the money into the seller’s bank account.
“While it’s more emotional, it’s important for us that sellers know that equipment that you may have used and loved and may have done some great work with, is to fall into the hands of someone else who, in turn, will do something really interesting with it,” he adds. Oler.
MPB says that any used items bought by others, including trade-in, are covered by a six-month limited warranty.

Supreme Court overturns CERT tariff award to Tata Power, Adani
12 April 2017
The Supreme Court on Tuesday overturned a decision be the Central Electricity Regulatory Authority (CERT) that allowed private power producers Adani Power Ltd and Tata Power to raise tariffs and ordered that they cannot charge their customers more to cover rising costs of imported coal.
For Tata Power, which owns a 4,000 MW mega power project through its subsidiary, Coastal Gujarat Power Ltd, the ruling means a loss of Rs47,500 crore over the 25-year power purchase agreement period of the project
Both Adani Power and Tata Power have entered into long-term deals in the middle of the last decade with distribution companies to supply power from plants they each operate in Prime Minister Narendra Modi's home state of Gujarat.
The companies also struck deals with domestic and foreign miners in the latter part of the last decade to fuel their plants in Gujarat, which each have over 4,000 megawatt (MW) of capacity.
The court did, however, allow the utility to claim relief for the higher costs, which resulted from a shortage in domestic supplies at state-run Coal India Ltd.
Adani and Tata appealed for relief after Indonesia adopted new benchmark coal prices in 2010, leading to an increase in the price of coal imported from the country.
The companies argued that they had to be compensated for an unforeseen change in economic conditions, which made the terms of the deal with distribution companies unviable.
After years of legal battle, the Central Electricity Regulatory Commission (CERC) in December last year ruled that the companies could charge their customers more to compensate for higher costs.
Distribution companies then moved the apex court citing contract violation. The SC ruled in favour of the distribution companies, saying the agreements did not state that "coal is to be procured only from Indonesia at a particular price".
"The price payable for the supply of coal is entirely for the person who sets up the power plant to bear," the judges observed.
CERC will now look at the matter afresh and determine what relief should be granted to the companies to make up for the shortage in domestic coal supplies.
The ruling sent Adani Power's shares down as much as 20 per cent on Tuesday, its biggest intra-day loss since it went public in 2009.

* The student has identified at least three areas of risk.
* The student has recognized and identified areas that were not previously considered as a risk.
As the significant prevalence of Linux web servers globally grows, security is often touted as a strength of the platform for such a purpose. However, a Linux based web server is only as secure as its configuration and very often many are quite vulnerable to compromise. While specific configurations vary wildly due to environments or specific use, there are various general steps that can be taken to insure basic security considerations are in place. Many risks are possible from a compromise including using the web server into a source of malware, creating a spam-sending relay, a web or TCP proxy, or other malicious activity. The operating system and packages can be fully patched with security updates and the server can still be compromised based purely on a poor security configuration.
Security of web applications first begins with configuring the server itself with strict security in mind. Many will often deploy various layers of security to react in real time to various hacking and threats for HTTP requests. Securing the entire server and any running services with a high level of security in mind is the first fundamental step to avoid the risk of being hacked or compromised.

In a reversal of an insurance company’s denial, a judge awarded workers’ compensation benefits to an employee who contracted COVID-19 and missed three weeks of work. Here’s how the case played out:
Jose Tovar, a former employee of food-processing company JBS in Texas, caught COVID-19 in April 2020 and wasn’t able to work for three weeks.
JBS’ insurer, American Zurich Insurance Co., denied Tovar’s claim for lost wages, according to a news release from Texas RioGrande Legal Aid (TRLA), an organization that represented Tovar.
But a Texas administrative law judge (ALJ) ordered JBS’s insurer to pay damages to Tovar.
The ALJ found Tovar contracted COVID-19 at the JBS plant where he worked close to others who were infected.
JBS didn’t appeal the ruling, and it became final.
An epidemiologist who has researched the meatpacking industry testified Tovar likely contracted COVID-19 due to crowding on the assembly line and in the locker room. The doctor said Tovar’s day-to-day interactions outside of work were low risk.
Close to one out of three employees at the plant were documented as infected by June 2020, according to the epidemiologist.
The ALJ found the epidemiologist’s testimony was “persuasive” and Tovar “could reasonably only have been infected at work.”
TRLA calls Tovar’s case “a rare victory.”
Nevertheless, national litigators call this an important case.
“The fact that a company can be held accountable for conditions in the pandemic is an immensely important finding,” said David Muraskin, litigator director of Public Justice’s Food Project.
Tovar’s day in court could be the first of many.
The Midwest Center for Investigative Reporting says as of April 2021, there’ve been at least 50,000 reported COVID-19 cases tied to meat and poultry processing facilities across the country. At least 248 worker deaths have been reported.
