Welcome to our comprehensive guide on feeding an Aussie Cattle Dog puppy! If you’re lucky enough to have one of these intelligent and energetic pups in your life, then you know just how important it is to provide them with the right nutrition for their growth and well-being. In this article, we will dive deep into the world of Aussie Cattle Dogs and unveil the secrets of determining their optimal meal portions. So let’s get started!
Understanding the Nutritional Needs of an Aussie Cattle Dog Puppy
Australian Cattle Dogs, also known as Blue Heelers, are a remarkable breed known for their agility, endurance, and herding prowess. Naturally, their dietary needs differ from other breeds due to their energetic nature and unique physique. As their puppy stage is crucial for their development, it’s essential to provide them with balanced nutrition that caters to their specific requirements.
These intelligent furballs require a nutrient-rich diet to support their growth and provide them with enough energy to accompany their active lifestyles. When it comes to their nutrition, we must strike the perfect balance between essential macronutrients like proteins, carbohydrates, and fats, along with essential micronutrients like vitamins and minerals.
Determining the Optimal Meal Portions for an Aussie Cattle Dog Puppy
Figuring out the right portion size for your Aussie Cattle Dog puppy may seem like a daunting task, but fear not! We’re here to guide you through the process and ensure your pup gets all the nourishment they need.
Factors to consider when determining portion size:
- Age and weight of the puppy: Puppies go through different growth stages, and their nutritional requirements change accordingly. Adjust their portions as they mature to meet their evolving needs.
- Activity level and exercise routine: Aussie Cattle Dogs love to be active, so take into account their daily exercise regimen and adjust their portions accordingly. More exercise means they need more fuel!
- Health condition and any specific dietary requirements: Some puppies may have special dietary needs due to certain health conditions or allergies. Consult with your veterinarian to determine if any modifications are necessary.
Now that we have the key factors in mind let’s discuss how you can determine the initial portion size for your Aussie Cattle Dog puppy. While there are general guidelines available, it’s crucial to remember that each puppy’s needs may vary. Always consult with a veterinarian to get personalized recommendations based on your puppy’s unique characteristics.
Monitoring the puppy’s growth and adjusting portion size accordingly:
As your adorable pup grows, it’s essential to keep an eye on their progress and ensure they are neither underfed nor overfed. Regular weigh-ins and body condition assessments can help you gauge their development accurately. Signs of underfeeding include lack of energy and a ribcage that is easily palpable, while signs of overfeeding include excessive weight gain and difficulty performing physical activities. Balance is key!
Establishing a Feeding Schedule for an Aussie Cattle Dog Puppy
While determining the right portion size is essential, it’s equally important to establish a consistent feeding schedule for your Aussie Cattle Dog puppy. These intelligent creatures thrive on routine, and a regular feeding interval will help them maintain optimal digestion and prevent any feeding-related issues.
As a general guideline, it’s recommended to feed Aussie Cattle Dog puppies three to four times a day, especially during their first few months. This ensures a steady supply of nutrients without overburdening their digestive system. However, as they grow older, you can gradually transition to two meals a day, aligning with their evolving needs and schedule.
Suggestions for Feeding an Aussie Cattle Dog Puppy
When it comes to feeding an Aussie Cattle Dog puppy, it’s not just about the quantity but also the quality of the food you provide. Here are a few suggestions to ensure your pup gets the nourishment they need:
- Choosing high-quality puppy food brands: Opt for reputable brands that prioritize using wholesome ingredients and meet the specific nutritional needs of active puppies.
- Incorporating appropriate treats and snacks into their diet: Treats are a great way to reward your pup during training sessions, but make sure they are nutritious and not empty calories. Look for treats that are specially formulated for puppies.
- Encouraging slow and controlled eating habits: Aussie Cattle Dogs can be quite enthusiastic about their meals. Consider using puzzle feeders or slow-feed bowls to slow down their eating pace, promoting better digestion.
Common Mistakes to Avoid when Feeding an Aussie Cattle Dog Puppy
It’s important to steer clear of some common pitfalls that can impact your Aussie Cattle Dog’s health and well-being:
- Overfeeding and the risks of excessive weight gain: While those puppy eyes are hard to resist, overfeeding can lead to obesity and related health issues. Stick to the recommended portion sizes and consult with your veterinarian if you are unsure.
- Inadequate portion size leading to malnutrition or stunted growth: On the flip side, underfeeding can jeopardize your puppy’s growth and development. Regularly monitor their weight and consult with a professional to ensure they are on track.
- Inconsistent feeding schedule and its impact on digestion: Aussie Cattle Dogs thrive on routine, so an inconsistent feeding schedule can disrupt their digestion and cause unnecessary discomfort.
Congratulations! You are now equipped with the knowledge to provide optimal meal portions for your Aussie Cattle Dog puppy. By considering factors such as age, weight, activity level, and health condition, you can ensure your furry friend receives the balanced nutrition they need to thrive. Remember to consult with your veterinarian for personalized recommendations and always monitor their growth and body condition. Feeding an Aussie Cattle Dog puppy is a rewarding journey that will lay the foundation for a healthy and happy life together!

The plane carrying Bolivia's President Evo Morales is making its way back to the Andean nation after being rerouted to and stuck in Vienna for 13 hours, prompting Bolivia's Vice President to say Morales was "kidnapped by imperialism."
Rumors had emerged that Morales, on his way home from a Moscow summit, had Edward Snowden on board, and the plane was reportedly searched for the whistleblower.
"We don't know who invented this lie" that Snowden was on board, said Bolivia's Foreign Minister David Choquehuanca. "We want to denounce to the international community this injustice with the plane of Evo Morales."
Bolivian officials say the plane was forced to land in Austria after being denied airspace by France, Spain and Portugal at the U.S.'s bidding, a claim the countries denied on Wednesday.
The Guardian reports that
The United States has yet to comment, but the longer it remains silent, the stronger will be the suspicions that it leaned on France, Spain, Portugal and Italy to deny permission for Morales's plane to fly through their airspace, in effect putting the hunt for a US whistleblower above international law and the rights of a president of a sovereign nation.
Whether the plane was actually searched remains murky. Morales told press that Spanish officials in Vienna had insisted on inspecting the plane to see if Snowden was aboard, but that he denied the request, saying it violated international norms. The New York Times reports that the plane did get inspected:

Karl-Heinz Grundböck, a spokesman for the Austrian Interior Ministry, said Austrian border authorities carried out a routine check of the passports of everyone aboard after the plane landed and were also granted permission to search the plane to ensure that Mr. Snowden was not aboard. “The rumors were just that,” Mr. Grundböck said.
However, the Guardian reports Wednesday afternoon that
Jonathan Watts, our Latin America correspondent, says that the Bolivian defence minister, Ruben Saavedra, has denied that anyone had boarded the plane. There were reports earlier that the plane had been inspected in Austria, but Saavedra has stoked confusion, saying that Morales had refused entry to officials, and that they had only got as far as the door of the aircraft.
And journalist Glenn Greenwald tweeted this:
Austrian journalist tells me: Bolivia did not give permission to have Morales' plane searched, but airport policeman allowed to walk through
— Glenn Greenwald (@ggreenwald) July 3, 2013
Bolivia's ambassador to the UN, Sacha Llorenti Soliz, told reporters in Geneva, "We have no doubt that [the denial of airspace] was an order from the White House," and said that his country was planning on filing a complaint at the UN.
Other Latin American officials echoed the condemnation.
In a statement from aboard the plane, Morales said, “I feel this was an excuse to frighten, intimidate and punish me. More than anything, an excuse to try and silence us on the struggle against the politics of plunder, invasion and domination.”

I love cinnamon! I recently got a donut pan, and I made these vanilla donuts from Easy As Apple Pie as my first foray into baked donut making. I highly recommend that recipe for a light, airy baked donut that’s also super simple to make. I loved the airiness of the vanilla donuts. This time around, I wanted something with more density and maybe a little sour cream. I ended up using Greek yogurt because my Greek yogurt expires before my sour cream, and I wanted to save the sour cream for potential chili or tacos this week!

Cinnamon Sour Cream Baked Donuts
- Preheat oven to 350°.
- In a large bowl, combine the sour cream, egg, vanilla, and cinnamon until well-combined.
- Stir in sugar and baking soda.
- Stir in the melted butter.
- Stir in ½ cup of the flour, incorporating well before stirring in the remaining ½ cup.
- Transfer batter to a piping bag with a large tip.
- Pipe batter into the donut pan, filling each compartment no more than halfway.
- Bake for about 12 minutes, or until donuts spring back to the touch. Remove from oven and let cool for at least 5 minutes.
- Combine the cinnamon and sugar for the topping in a small bowl.
- In a separate bowl, make the glaze by whisking together the cream and powdered sugar.
- Dip each donut in the glaze, and twist as you remove it, then dip in the cinnamon sugar mixture.

Four years ago, the Downtown Nordic ski club started with six friends getting together to stay in shape and do something they love. Their passion for cross-country skiing, healthy living and socializing during the cold winter months has since blossomed into a program with 140 members.
"Through word of mouth and over the years it's grown so much because it's a need that we have," says Kristin Madsen, an instructor and one of the original six members, which include club founder and competitive skier Steve Scoles. "There's a lot of camaraderie, everyone is friends. It's awesome getting people out to ski -- everyone from experienced racers to people their first time on skis."

- The Virginia legislature approved the increased regulations this year. (Photo: Associated Press)
This year, Planned Parenthood hopes to expand its gynecological services for low-income women in Virginia Beach. First, it'll have to convince Virginia Beach that poor women actually need gynecologists.
Planned Parenthood of Southeastern Virginia is seeking approval to make $200,000 in improvements to two operating rooms in its Virginia Beach health center. There, it plans to perform non-emergency surgical procedures to treat stuff like ovarian cysts, infertility, and incontinence in women. The bureaucratic hurdle that stands in its way: A Certificate of Public Need doled out by the Virginia Department of Health. At a public forum held to debate the certificate Monday, dozens of protesters flooded the proceedings to argue that Virginia Beach doesn't need Planned Parenthood's services, which they characterized as "racist," "eugenics," and "genocide."
The Planned Parenthood health center, of course, also provides abortions. And Monday's fire-and-brimstone forum provided a taste of what's in store for abortion clinics across the state in the coming years.
In February, state legislators voted to enact stricter regulations on the state's first-trimester abortion providers. The exact specifications of the regulations are to be determined, but other states that have adopted these targeted regs have required their abortion clinics to undergo expensive renovations to look more like hospitals—a shift that would force abortion clinics to secure exactly the kinds of changes that Planned Parenthood of Southeastern Virginia is seeking to cinch now, regardless of the looming new law.
To recap: anti-abortion politicians in the Virginia legislature want the state's abortion providers to beef up their facilities to be more like hospitals; anti-abortion activists on the ground want to prevent those improvements at all costs. The legislature says that it's invested in securing the "safety" of women undergoing the relatively uncomplicated procedure of a first-trimester abortion. But anti-abortion activists protesting the Virginia Beach health center's planned improvements say that those conspicuously safe operation rooms could allow the clinic to perform even more complicated procedures—like second trimester abortions.
"It's a self-fulfilling prophecy," says Erin Zabel, Planned Parenthood of Southeastern Virginia's Director of Marketing and Public Relations. Zabel says that the organization has no plans to provide second-trimester abortions in Virginia Beach—and that first-trimester abortions make up only 3 percent of the clinic's reproductive health services now. That hasn't stopped anti-abortion activists from closing in on both sides in the state—simultaneously forcing abortion providers to ramp up their facilities while protesting their efforts to do so.
"There is a very small, vocal, loyal group of folks here in the area that protest everything we do," says Zabel. They protested Planned Parenthood's plans to open the clinic, they protested the construction company that made it, and they protest the patients who enter it. But they haven't gained a voice in the actual business practices of the clinic until this week. "There's been nothing for them to do except complain," says Zabel. "But here, the public hearing is actually a part of the application process."
That process could make providing healthcare harder for Planned Parenthood, as the public forum testimony is likely to inspire increased state scrutiny on the health center's plans in the coming months. In the end, though, "we have every confidence that our application will be examined on its merits," Zabel says. "If someone wants to come in and inspect our facility, it doesn’t bother us. The politics go on and on, but some women just can’t wait for services."

Key messages in this report are:
COVID-19 hospitalizations and estimated new infections are increasing in 2 LPHA regions: Central Mountains and Northeast. Estimated infections are decreasing in 8 LPHA regions and flat in 1 LPHA region.
We estimate more than 1 in 100 people are infectious in South Central and Southeast Regions. Contacts are particularly risky in these regions. These estimates are for March 1st.
East Central has the lowest percentage of the population that has received at least one vaccine dose (14%). Vaccination is highest in the Southwest (29%), West Central Partnership (27%) and Central Mountains (26%) regions.
We introduce a new estimate this week: the percent of the population immune due to vaccination and/or infection. This ranges widely across the state – from 40% in East Central to 19% in the Southwest, Central and West Central Partnership regions. Higher levels of immunity help slow the spread of infections.
These estimates are based on hospitalization data through 3/8/2021 and vaccination data through 3/14/2021. Due to lags between infection and hospitalization, these estimates do not capture major changes in transmission after approximately February 23rd.
We have completed a major model infrastructure update this week. These estimates are now based on a meta-population model that accounts for population flows between regions. Further details are provided in the technical appendix.
This report provides the results of epidemic models for regions of Colorado, using methods similar to that used for the state-level model. Estimates are presented for the 11 Local Public Health Agencies (LPHAs) regions in the state and for 8 selected counties with populations that are sufficiently large to allow for county-level estimates. The model results are subject to greater uncertainty than those for the entire state because there are fewer hospitalizations and cases in each region than in the state as a whole. Estimates are most uncertain for the regions with the smallest population size. We use the model as well as COVID-19 hospital,and vaccination data to generate four measures for each region. These measures can be used to gauge the current state of SARS-CoV-2 in each region.
The effective reproduction number (Re) is a measure of how rapidly infections are spreading or declining in a region.
Infection prevalence is an estimate of the portion of the population currently infected and capable of spreading infections. It can be used to gauge how risky contacts are.
The percent of the population vaccinated to date is based on data provided by CDPHE and includes all people who have received at least one dose of a SARS-CoV-2 vaccine. Because it takes approximately a month to develop immunity, some of these individuals may not yet be immune to the virus.
The percent of population estimated to be immune is estimated from the number of individuals immune due to vaccination combined with the individuals immune due to infection. These estimates account for the time between vaccination and immunity and the efficacy of the vaccine. As the immune population grows, due to vaccination or prior infection, the spread of infection slows.
Table 1. The estimated effective reproductive number, prevalence of infections, percent of the population immune and vaccinated to date by region. These metrics are estimated using hospitalization data from the Colorado COVID Patient Hospitalization Surveillance (COPHS). Effective reproductive number (Re) reflects hospitalization data through 03/08/2021. The prevalence of infections and percent of the population immune is estimated for 03/01/2021. The percent vaccinated estimates are based on data provided by CDPHE through 3/14/2021 and reflect the proportion of the population that has received at least one vaccine dose as of that date.
Are infections increasing or decreasing?
How many people are infectious?
|Re||Infections are…||Prevalence per 100,000||People infectious||Percent of Population Estimated Immune||Percent of Population Vaccinated|
|Central||0.7||Decreasing||351||1 in 285||18.5||17.2|
|Central Mountains||1.2||Increasing||307||1 in 326||18.6||26.4|
|East Central||0.5||Decreasing||609||1 in 164||40.2||13.5|

|San Luis Valley||0.7||Decreasing||946||1 in 106||20.5||24.5|
|South Central||1.0||Flat||1,266||1 in 79||36.6||22.3|
|Southeast||0.9||Decreasing||1,341||1 in 75||42.1||18.0|
|Southwest||0.8||Decreasing||289||1 in 346||18.9||29.1|
|West Central Partnership||0.8||Decreasing||283||1 in 354||18.5||26.9|
|Eight select counties|
|Adams||1.0||Flat||983||1 in 102||28.5||15.8|
|Arapahoe||0.9||Decreasing||687||1 in 145||24.7||18.7|
|Boulder||0.6||Decreasing||268||1 in 372||18.6||22.9|
|Broomfield||0.6||Decreasing||11||1 in 9414||16.3||23.8|
|Denver||0.9||Decreasing||840||1 in 119||28.6||20.2|
|Douglas||0.9||Decreasing||447||1 in 224||17.2||20.5|
|El Paso||0.7||Decreasing||339||1 in 295||19.1||16.5|
|Jefferson plus||0.7||Decreasing||218||1 in 458||18.2||24.5|
|Due to the small population sizes of Gilpin and Clear Creek counties, these counties are combined with Jefferson County. Jefferson County comprises 97% of the population in the Jefferson plus county cluster.|
|Due to lags between infection and hospitalization, the estimated effective reproductive number (Re) reflects the spread of infections approximately two weeks prior to the data of the last observed hospitalization.|
|Immunity from vaccination is based on assumptions that the Moderna and Pfizer vaccines are 52% effective after 14 days and 90% effective a week after the second dose; the Johnson and Johnson vaccine is assumed to be 72% effective 28 days after the first dose. In the model, it is assumed that immunity due to infection wanes after 6 months if an individual has an asymptomatic infection, 12 months if symptomatic. Age distribution of vaccination by region is inferred from state-level age distribution data.|
Figure 1. Map showing the 11 LPHA regions for which estimates were generated. Regions in yellow (effective reproductive number > 1), orange (prevalence > 1%), or red (both effective reproductive number > 1 and prevalence > 1%) indicate areas of concern.
Figure 2. Map showing the proportion of the population vaccinated by LPHA region. Estimates are based on data provided by CDPHE through 3/14/2021 and reflect the proportion of the population that has received at least one vaccine dose as of that date. Darker colors indicate a higher proportion of vaccinated residents.
The figure below shows the estimated effective reproductive number for each region since March.
The effective reproduction number (Re) is a measure of how rapidly infections are spreading or declining in a region at a given point in time. When the effective reproductive number is below 1, infections are decreasing. When the effective reproductive number is above 1, infections are increasing.
The effective reproductive number is estimated using our age-structured meta-population model fit to hospitalization data. Because we base our parameter estimates primarily on COVID-19 hospitalization data, and hospitalizations today generally reflect infections occurring approximately 13 days prior, our most recent estimates of the effective reproductive number likely reflect the spread of infections occurring on approximately 02/23/2021.
Figure 3. Estimated effective reproductive number (Re) over time in the 11 LPHA regions in Colorado, and 8 selected counties and county clusters. Estimates shown using COVID-19 hospitalization data through 03/08/2021.
Infection prevalence provides an estimate of the proportion of the population that is currently infected with SARS-CoV-2 and capable of spreading infections. At higher levels of infection prevalence, individuals are more likely to encounter infectious individuals among their contacts. Because many people experience no symptoms or mild symptoms of COVID-19, many infections are not identified by surveillance systems. The estimates we present here are intended to provide an approximation of all infections, including those not detected by the Colorado Electronic Disease Reporting System (CEDRS).
The figure below shows the estimated infection prevalence per 100,000 individuals for each region. These are estimated from the age-structured meta-population model.
Figure 4. Estimated prevalence per 100,000 population for each of the 11 LPHA regions (top), plus the 8 selected counties and county clusters (bottom). All prevalence values over 1,000 per 100,000 are shown in dark red. Prevalence values estimated up to 03/01/2021.
The figures below show the daily number of individuals hospitalized with COVID-19 from each region. Hospitalization data are from the COVID Patient Hospitalization Surveillance (COPHS) maintained by the Colorado Department of Public Health and the Environment (CDPHE). Each COVID-19 patient is assigned to a region based on their home zip code. COVID-19 hospitalizations are shown per 100,000 population to allow comparability across regions.
COVID-19 hospitalizations are a sensitive measure of SARS-CoV-2 transmission and are an important indicator of the severity of infections in a region. While many SARS-CoV-2 infections are not captured by state surveillance systems, we expect that almost all COVID-19 hospitalizations are identified.

Better business payments across Danish borders
Many smaller markets have traditionally suffered slow settlement times, high costs and poor service for business payments. Denmark is one region that has been disadvantaged in this way - despite being a wealthy country with a sophisticated economy, leading the way in many payment initiatives including P27 to support instant payments across Denmark, Finland and Sweden.
Danish Krone (DKK) payments into and out of Denmark can be expensive and slow, excluding many businesses from trading across Danish borders.
According to a recent survey from the Danish Central Bank, the total cost of payments in the country is around 0.8% of GDP, with B2B transactions accounting for 27% of this total, totalling DKK 4.2bn (US$641mn). Settlement in and out of DKK takes between two and five days, depending on the currency pair and banking relationships involved.
Simplifying cross-border DKK e-commerce
But things are changing. Intradagclearing – the Danish National Intraday Clearing System – means non-Danish Banks, Payments businesses and online marketplaces can now trade with Denmark more easily. In partnership with the Danish Central Bank, Banking Circle joined Intradagclearing in 2021 to help non-Danish Banks, Payment Service Providers and Marketplaces increase access to the Danish market for their e-commerce customers.
The latest Banking Circle white paper - ‘Payments without barriers: Focus on Denmark’ – examines the breakthroughs in clearing and settlement that are set to improve payments for businesses trading with Denmark. However, it also highlights that there are still barriers to overcome.
In terms of e-commerce, within Europe Denmark is second only to the UK in terms of the percentage of people who shop online – in 2020 alone, e-business grew more than 20% and the total volume of digital commerce increased by close to 30%. Digital transformation of Denmark’s payment infrastructure is well underway, but slow and expensive cross-border DKK settlements are hampering growth and holding Danish businesses back from their full potential.
Looking to the future
Banking Circle joined the Intradagclearing system because we believe
this development will have a positive effect on cross-border e-commerce. Our mission is to provide Banks, Payments businesses and online marketplaces with solutions that make local and cross-border payments accessible, efficient and cost-effective for businesses of all sizes and in any geography. With direct clearing access integrated into our cloud-based payments infrastructure, and our connection to the Danish Central Bank, Banks, Payments businesses and marketplaces outside Denmark benefit from lower costs and faster settlement times.
For Banking Circle clients and their underlying customers, transactions occur as if they were local payments, reducing friction and delays. Cutting out the traditional reliance on the slow and costly international correspondent banking network, the new solution is helping cross-border e-commerce businesses to accelerate their growth within Denmark.

It is weird to say, but the NFL hasn’t had a live NFL Draft since 2019. Not that two years ago is a ridiculous amount of time, but the 2020 virtual draft was more than different. Many fans didn’t know what to expect for the 2021 NFL Draft. It was scheduled to be live in Cleveland, OH, and after the league decided to cancel the NFL Scouting Combine it didn’t look good for the draft.
Nonetheless, the NFL announced they were going to have the draft live, and with fans in attendance, so it looks as if the virtual draft was a one year blip on the radar. The draft is just weeks away, and that means specific prospective players are accepting invitations to be at the draft live for when their name is called.
The list of players who have accepted invites as it currently stands:
- Alabama DT Christian Barmore
- LSU WR Ja’Marr Chase
- Virginia Tech CB Caleb Farley
- Alabama QB Mac Jones
- North Dakota State QB Trey Lance
- Penn State LB Micah Parsons
- Florida TE Kyle Pitts
- Alabama WR DeVonta Smith
- Alabama CB Patrick Surtain II
- Miami DE Gregory Rousseau
This from the NFL’s official website:
The 2021 NFL Draft begins Thursday, April 29 with the first round (8 p.m. ET), followed by Rounds 2-3 on Friday (7 p.m. ET) and finishing with Rounds 4-7 on Saturday May 1 (12 p.m. ET). Tune in to NFL Network, ABC, ESPN and ESPN Deportes for live coverage on each day. Construction on the main stage along Cleveland’s waterfront has already begun, near FirstEnergy Stadium and the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame. Some of the best aspects of last year’s unique virtual draft will be implemented into the television broadcast, including the participation of draft prospects from their homes.
The upcoming draft seems to be more normal than most had expected, and the hope is this is just the beginning of NFL stadiums having fans in attendance for all of the now 17-game regular season.
Be sure to stay tuned to BTSC for the latest news and notes surrounding the Pittsburgh Steelers as they prepare for the rest of NFL Free Agency and the 2021 NFL Draft.

Ginsburg in his Kabbalah gives several reasons why the Zohar must have been written in the thirteenth century. His arguments, though interesting in numerous ways, do not take into consideration the fact that there has always been an oral tradition. Isaac Myer, in his large and in a number of ways authoritative tome entitled The Qabalah, analyses very carefully these objections advanced by Ginsburg and others, and I am bound to confess that his answers, ad seriatim, confute this theory of the thirteenth-century origin of the Zohar.
In one sense they have no connection or relation with the Inferiors, the lower seven Sephiros, reflected by them-just as Space itself is independent of, and unaffected by, whether there is or is not anything manifested within its emptiness. The cause of the appearance of Keser, the frrst Sephirah, the central dimensionless Point, arouses tremendous problems.
If the latter theory can be maintained, then we may claim for the Sepher Yetsirah a pre-Talmudic origin-probably the second century prior to the Christian era. The Zohar, if actually the work of Simeon ben Y ochai, was never consigned to writing at the time but had been orally handed down by the companions of the Holy Assemblies, being finally written up by Rabbi Moses ben Leon in the thirteenth century. Madame Blavatsky ventures the hypothesis that the Zohar, as now possessed by us, was arranged and re-edited by Moses de Leon after having been tampered with to a considerable extent by Jewish Rabbis and Christian ecclesiastics prior to the thirteenth century.

Chevrolet took the wraps off the Silverado EV at the 2022 CES and we’re eager to share what we know about it.
The Silverado EV is the latest in upwards of 30 electrified GM models coming by 2025, with most based on the company’s Ultium all-electric architecture. The first model is the GMC Hummer EV pickup truck, which is now under production. Other models following include the 2023 Cadillac Lyriq and a few slated for global markets, including China.
Chevrolet Silverado EV Highlights
Power and Towing
If you like power, the Silverado EV is designed NOT to disappoint. This model in top form will produce 664 horsepower and 780 pound-feet of torque, making it the fastest Chevrolet that isn’t a Corvette or Camaro. You won’t reach that power level on just any model, however as it is reserved for the RST in Wide Open Watts Mode.
Just how fast is the Silverado EV? Well, GM claims a 0-60 mph time of just 4.5 seconds, which handily beast any Silverado now while rivaling the Camaro and Corvette. Towing is another strength with 8,000 pounds at the ready with the Work Truck (WT) and 10,000 pounds with the other models. Also, a 1,300-pound payload capacity on the RST trim should satisfy most shoppers. Chevrolet also says that it’ll produce a heavy-duty model with upwards of 20,000 pounds of pulling capabilities.
The Silverado EV will come outfitted with an assortment of nifty features, including four-wheel steering. That’s a feature found in the GMC Hummer EV and most likely will enable the truck to perform its fun “crab walk” feature.
Other features include an automatic air suspension, enabling the truck to raise and lower by up to 2 inches. Independent front and rear suspension, and copious amounts of ground clearance with the RST model’s 24-inch wheels, should only enhance its off-road credibility. Chevrolet hasn’t mentioned such things as ground clearance nor has it discussed approach, breakover, and departure angles. That said, we expect the Silverado EV to excel in each of these areas.
Super Cruise also comes to the Silverado EV. This feature represents hands-free driver-assistance technology, designed to travel on more than 200,000 compatible roads in the United States and Canada. The tech utilizes global positioning system sensing, GPS-enhanced data, a high-precision map, and numerous cameras to keep equipped models centered.
Shades of the Chevrolet Avalanche
On scrutiny of the Silverado EV, it features one beloved attribute common to the retired Chevrolet Avalanche pickup truck. And that’s none other than the mid-gate design.
That design allowed owners to drop down the section of the truck separating the bed from the cab, to create a larger and seamless storage compartment. It is an ideal feature for a truck with just under 6 feet of cargo bed capacity. With the mid-gate down, that space expands to a robust 9 feet.
That’s not the only storage space either. The Silverado will feature a front truck or frunk that is also waterproof and lockable. Yes, the Chevrolet will match the storage convention of other electric pickup trucks, a feature that’s desirable and entirely usable.
Charging and Technology
As expected, the Silverado EV comes packed with cutting-edge technologies, including software that will improve over time. To begin, when the driver approaches the Silverado EV RST with a supported cell phone or key fob, an idiosyncratic lighting animation welcomes them.
When entering the pickup truck, a 3D animation shows up on the 17-inch- diagonal LCD infotainment screen. That screen works with an adjoining 11-inch-diagonal driver instrument display. Along with a 14-inch driver head-up display, all the details a driver might want are within reach. Further, with a hands-free start, the vehicle activates spontaneously once the driver enters with a supported device.
The Silverado EV also has standard DC fast charging, which allows the 400-mile-range truck to recoup one-quarter of its range for every 10 minutes connected. This means that after 30 minutes, a fully depleted battery will reach a minimum of 80 percent capacity with the ability to travel at least another 300 miles under normal loads.
Trims and Prices
GM is already accepting reservations for the RST First Edition model, which is priced at $105,000, plus a destination charge. However, it will be followed by Work Truck ($39,900) and regular RST models, with Trail Boss and other trims planned. At present, GM exhausted its $7,500 per vehicle federal tax credit allowance. Nevertheless, Congress plans to introduce legislation to bring it back or improve upon it, with President Biden promising to sign it into law.

Emily Eiben is a PhD candidate in the department of Religious Studies at the Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität München. Her project focuses on the popularisation of Buddhism through the British periodical and newspaper press in the years 1875 to 1895 – between when the Prince of Wales visited the Buddha’s tooth in Ceylon in 1875 and when Sarah Bernhardt starred in a Buddhist-themed stage play in London in 1895. She is particularly fascinated by the way that pop culture and the media joined forces to create an enthusiastic new audience for a once little-known ‘heathen’ religion and the ways that this enthusiasm was fuelled by the British colonial encounter.

What’s So Funny About Buddhism? Unexpected Humour in the Late Victorian Popular Press
When I began exploring the depiction of Buddhism in the British newspaper and periodical press at the close of the nineteenth century, I was astounded by the diversity and sophistication of views I encountered in my sources. What really blew me away, though, was the surprisingly wide array of jokes, satires, and comics that the late Victorians produced about Buddhism and Buddhists. The Victorians thought Buddhism was funny? This was new. This comedic material—some of it still surprisingly funny 130 years later—shed a whole new light on the playfulness, wittiness, and sophistication of the Victorians’ encounter with Buddhism. More than any other discovery in the digital archives, my immersion in the unexpected humour of the newspaper and periodical press profoundly altered my understanding of my subject.
On the one hand, I stumbled across a plethora of groan-inducing one-liners about tree buds and ‘bud’-dhas, like the ones above, that feature a simple, straightforward style of humour based on the apparently universal Victorian penchant for puns and homonyms. This style of humour was designed to appeal to all ages, classes, and literacy levels; here were jokes that could be read aloud in the club, to a seatmate on the omnibus, or to the children on a Sunday afternoon. These one-liners encapsulated the ubiquity of talk about Buddhism in the 1880s; in my dissertation, they help me to demonstrate its total and seamless integration into everyday speech language and contexts.
But barbless and family-friendly was notthe only type of Victorian humour, of course, and many periodicals took a sharply satirical view of their contemporaries’ interest in Buddhism. This Victorian penchant for satire has received renewed academic attention in recent years, especially as digitisation has made it possible to locate larger amounts of comic material from a wider variety of sources. (Most will know of Bob Nicholson’s project, with the support of the British Library, to create a “Victorian Meme Machine” – see his blog here. I can’t wait to explore it!) In my dissertation I examine a number of sharply satirical pieces involving Buddhism that appeared in some of the most widely-read popular comic papers in the in the 1880s, such as Fun, Punch, and Judy. These are not one-liners and puns, but elaborate comedic setups whose decoding requires deeper analysis of their context. In many of the satires, the new interest in Buddhism presents itself as a lively and competitive option for an increasingly choosy (if overwhelmed) public – faced with the task of evaluating increasingly diverse options in the marketplace of religious ideas.
In one of my favourite specimens, the comic paper Fun sharpened its knives on the Victorian national-cultural obsession with the discovery of Buddhist relics in a satire from 1889 titled ‘The Latest Discovery.’ The satirical ditty is a direct commentary on British archaeologist James Campbell’s discovery near Asoka (India) in late 1888 of a fingernail supposedly belonging to the Buddha. The discovery was first reported in England by the Daily Telegraph, and the story was quickly picked up by the other major dailies—The Spectator and The Times—and then by evening society papers such as the Pall Mall Gazette. Fun‘s piece, published a scant week after the serious newspaper reports, appears close on the heels of the discovery and is obviously eager to take the wind out of its sails and make the whole episode look ridiculous. Fun‘s humorous ‘take’ on a serious archaeological find transformed how I viewed the Victorians’ responses to such discoveries.
I also unearthed a plethora of quotes and quips that were strongly suggestive of how Buddhism formed part of the common cultural currency of the period. In many cases, a mere reference to the Buddha sufficed to imply a world of meanings. Most amusingly, in the political realm, both Disraeli and Gladstone were compared to Buddha when they wore passive or bored expressions in Parliament: “The Prime Minister [Disraeli] moves on sublimely indifferent to all that irresponsible and frivolous outsiders can speak or print. He appears, like Buddha, to be absorbed in contemplating with imperturbable self-satisfaction, his own perfections of his policy, and nothing can disturb his blissful reveries.” The allusion was not party-specific: Gladstone, too, was described in 1883 as possessing that “bland passivity with which the image of the Buddha contemplates the prostrations of his adorers.” (The likeness does seem more fitting for Gladstone than for Disraeli!) These short quips rely on a familiar interpretation of Buddhism that draws mainly on the remarkably persistent popular understanding of Buddhist nirvana as a passive cessation of interest and activity, if not a complete annihilation of personality. Here, too, was more evidence of exactly what I was hoping to prove in my dissertation: that Buddhism had been absorbed into the quotidian language of everyday men and women.
The jokes I found were instrumental in changing my approach to my subject and in deepening my appreciation of the sophistication with which the late Victorians tackled the cultural developments of their day. Specifically, these comedic materials assisted me in gauging the extent to which Buddhism had penetrated popular discourse, offering valuable evidence for understanding both the depth of knowledge as well as the types of associations that circulated in popular culture. Satire, in particular, is tightly bound to popular culture in a mutually (de)constructive way and offers unique insights into contemporary cultural concerns. Most of the jokes I discuss in my dissertation work with, and play off, other contemporary discourses; most are only obliquely funny (if at all) until one probes the social context of the joke and the frameworks of knowledge that undergird it.
Finally, these comic materials bear powerful witness to the active role played by the mass media and popular culture in shaping contemporary opinions. The jokes I mention here are creative and constructive (rather than merely derivative); they use contemporary forms and formats to comment on what was, at the beginning of the Victorian era, still a highly specialised topic for academics and missionaries. Comic magazines such as Punch and Fun as well as family magazines such as All the Year Round, played a central role in translating serious, abstruse Buddhism into the language of popular culture. This insight was instrumental in transforming how I understood the late Victorians’ talk about Buddhism. The wry, winking humour of the popular periodicals provided a much-needed antidote to the moral seriousness and intellectual intensity that one finds in more ‘serious’ periodicals, and reminded me again and again that—contrary to popular contemporary stereotypes—the Victorians may actually have had a better sense of humour than we do. It was in their jokes, of all places, that the Victorians really came alive to me, practically leaping off the pages into the present with a sense of humour that works across time.

Shimmering sand dunes and brilliant turbans, lissome lasses in gauzy veils and mirror-worked skirts, caparisoned camels and a fortress in shades of burnished gold and latticed screens— Jaisalmer in the desert state of Rajasthan is truly the clichéd Arabian Nights fantasy come alive. Condé Nast Traveller picks ten things that you must do while here:
Be a king for a day
Built in 1156, the golden yellow Jaisalmer Fort is the second-oldest in Rajasthan . The sandstone Fort crowns the Trikuta Hill and stands sentinel over the city. Within its walls, defended by 99 turrets, lies the old city. Walk through four gargantuan gates in to the chaotic streets of the squat Sonar Quila. The most extraordinary part of the fort is that more than 4,000 people still live within its ancient walls. Walk through the maze of tiny lanes lined with temples, havelis, and palaces as well as souvenir shops and skilled artisans. Finally, feast on panoramic views of the city from several ‘cannon points'.
Be a culture vulture Visit the Desert Cultural Centre as well as the Folklore Museum to get an insight into the rich cultural heritage of the region. Get a glimpse of paintings, post cards, old coins, ancient manuscripts, costumes, jewellery and ornate camel and horse decorations. Admire local handicrafts, wall hangings, portable altars and even clay reproductions of haveli facades. Don't leave without watching the evening puppet show.
Hit a Spiritual High
The most beautiful part of the fortress is the cluster of sandstone Jain temples with soaring spires built in the 12th and 15th centuries with scalloped arches, cornices and delicate filigree work. Don't forget to peek into the Parsvanath Temple dedicated to the 22nd Tirthankara with its ornate ceiling which has a sculpture of a demon-like head with four bodies arranged in a circle. As you walk around, the head seems to connect to each of the bodies. Don't leave without visiting the dimly lit Gyan Bhandar library in the basement which houses rare manuscripts.
Be a foodie! Feast on Rajasthani cuisine which is predominantly influenced by the scarcity of water and fresh green vegetables. Meat eaters should sample the non-vegetarian delicacy laal maas, a dish of lamb cooked in red hot chilli peppers. Vegetarians will love ker saangri, an unusual but delicious vegetarian dish made with desert beans and capers and the calorific dhal bhati churma and panchkoota, five desert vegetation cooked in yoghurt. Drink local lassi topped with copius amounts of cream and indulge your sweet tooth with ladoos made out of gram flour.

Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin chairs a meeting on the double suicide bombings on Moscow subway held in the Siberian city of Krasnoyarsk, Monday, March 29, 2010. Two female suicide bombers blew themselves up on Moscow's subway system as it was jam-packed with rush-hour passengers Monday, killing at least 37 people and wounding 102, officials said and blamed the carnage on terrorists from the restive Caucasus region that includes Chechnya. Putin, who built much of his political capital by directing a fierce war with Chechen separatists a decade ago, vowed Monday that "terrorists will be destroyed."

Vinyasa Yoga Capri
Vinyasa Yoga Capris
These capris are true to size, soft, stretchy and totally opaque. They wash well and look lovely on - my favourite pair of Sweaty Betty yoga trousers for sure.
May 18, 2014
Great comfort, fit, and Look!
Excellent fit, look and functionality. TTS and good standard to have!
I even bought a pair for my teenager who doesn't like "tight" crops and she loves this capri.
May 14, 2014
Really comfy capri pants
I thought the price was quiet expensive but you get what you pay for these are so comfy can`t wait to get to the gym. I am 5 foot 7ins and a size 10 and the small fits me great.
May 13, 2014
Lovely for exercise classes - not for the gym though
I bought these capris mainly for Pilates but was told in the shop they'd be a good all-rounder for the gym as well as at that price I wanted something to cover most indoor gym activity.
They are lovely and soft, give you a lovely shape and are great when doing all the moves in Pilates - they don't move and hold you in well. However, I wore them for the gym as well and the material has bobbled quite badly from where I was sat on the bike for 10 minutes. Such a shame.
So I'd recommend these for light classes but not for interacting with any gym equipment.
May 11, 2014
Very flattering and comfortable capris
When I saw these in the shop I wasn't sure about the tie details at the end of the leg then I tried them on ......probably the most flattering and comfortable pair of leggings I have had -used them in pilates at the weekend -they were perfect.
May 4, 2014
Comfortable and flattering!
I was really surprised with the comfort of these yoga capris. They are light to wear and fit like a second skin. The biggest benefit for me is that with the extra width waistband they hide that extra bit if weight around my middle and smooth out lots of the lumps. I'm going back for my second pair soon!
May 2, 2014
Good first SB bottoms
I mulled this decision over for a while. Calling customer service and BOTH of the U.S. stores for advice, as I'd only ordered tops prior. I practice yoga AT LEAST 4 times a week. This pants are superior quality- very nice fabric. The medium fit well. The fold over top was good to hide my muffin top, which was comforting. But it doesn't really stay put. But given the fabric, I really don't think anything would. I do like the pants a lot. I would recommend them.
April 30, 2014
Lovely snug yoga pants
Very comfy yoga pants, very soft material, with cute tie details on the legs. Just the right length which is always important as I'm quite tall! The roll top sits very nicely, and gives an extra feeling of support and comfort. Lovely item and a must for anyones yoga/workout wardrobe
April 28, 2014
Love these capris! So soft, comfy, flattering and reassuringly opaque. I prefer them un-ruched but just tuck the drawstrings in without any problems.
April 24, 2014
Just adding to the hype!
Can't go wrong with these - try them on and you'll never want to take them off!! That's what happened to me in the boutique! Really wonderful and worth every penny - How comfortable they are just makes me want to work out for longer :)

Serentica secures INR 2600 crore funding from PFC for renewable energy projects
Published on : Saturday 16-09-2023
Funding from PFC will go towards the development of Serentica’s upcoming 400 MW hybrid renewable energy projects in Karnataka.
New Delhi, September 14, 2023 – Serentica Renewables has announced that it has achieved financial closure for its upcoming hybrid renewable energy projects in Karnataka. The company has secured the entire debt funding of INR 2600 crores from one of India’s largest power sector lenders, Power Finance Corporation Limited (PFC Ltd.).
To ensure the round-the-clock green energy needs of its customers, cumulatively, Serentica will install 4 GW of renewable energy capacities across the country. In the state of Karnataka, the company is setting up 400 MW of wind and solar capacities where it has already secured connectivity to the inter-state transmission system (ISTS).
Commenting on the financial milestone, Mr Pratik Agarwal, Director, of Serentica Renewables said, "The debt funding from PFC will accelerate our journey towards supplying 40 billion units of clean energy annually to energy-intensive industries and displacing 37 million tonnes of carbon emissions.”
Commenting on the financial transaction, Smt Parminder Chopra, Chairman & Managing Director, of PFC said, “This transaction is in line with PFC’s expanding role in funding green projects and positioning itself as the focal agency for the energy transition.”
With a vision to accelerate the clean energy transition of hard-to-abate industries, the overall portfolio will supply more than 9 BUs of clean energy annually, thereby offsetting 8.5 million tonnes of CO2. Serentica’s vision is to supply over 40 billion units of clean energy annually in the medium term and displace 37 million tonnes of CO2 emissions.
To fuel its growth commitments, Serentica signed definitive agreements with leading global investor KKR in November 2022. KKR’s total $650 million commitment to the company, which includes the latest $250 million investment deal, represents one of the largest decarbonization investments in India to date. With the closure of debt funding from PFC, the company has been able to forge relationships with India’s largest power sector financing institutions. This is a testimony of the trust reposed in the company by the banking and investor community.

July 15 (Reuters) – The Fed doesn’t need to hike rates by 100 bps this month to prove it’s more committed to fighting inflation than the ECB or BOJ, so Treasury yield spreads over bund and JGB yields should remain attractive enough to turn dips into buying opportunities.
The question now, with the dollar index having rallied this week into a thicket of long-term resistance, is how big a correction might be.
With monthly RSIs at record highs some caution is advised, but to look for more than a short-lived dip, prices would have to close below the 38.2% Fibo of the post-June Fed meeting 103.41-109.29 rise at 107.04.
Even if the Fed hikes by 75 bps on July 27, rather than the extreme 100 bps briefly priced in after Wednesday’s hot CPI readings, the fed funds rate will still rise to 3.5% by year-end, versus maybe 1% for the ECB and nil from the BOJ, so a dollar index rise closer to 2001’s 121.02 peak remains possible.
