are an important tool to protect others if you get sick during a pandemic, especially as the new COVID-19 spread around the world. These easy-to-do tests can save you having to go to the test site or doctor, so you can avoid spreading germs.
The US Food and Drug Administration began granting emergency use authorization forIn May 2020, and consumers have many different options. heck, you can too Now.
After trying several home COVID-19 tests, I found that my overall experience with each diagnostic test was more or less the same. I navigated to the website, took symptom screening if any, entered my personal information, checked out and waited for the self test to arrive. When given the test, I followed the instructions to register the kit, collect my sample, and send the sample back.
I haven’t had a particularly great or terrible experience with any of these, so I don’t necessarily recommend either one in particular. Only one pair stands out, including the new , which is the first rapid at-home test from the FDA with an EUA.
There are a lot of home testing kits out there, and the best at-home COVID test for you ultimately depends on, whether your handjob Covers the cost, and your preferred collection method (saliva sample or nasal swab).
Still, it’s worth knowing the small differences between the 10 coronavirus tests you can get without a doctor, which I’m describing here, so you can choose your best test option.
Who should take the COVID-19 test at home?
At-home COVID-19 tests are not suitable for everyone. Whichever brand you choose, it can take from several days to a week to get your results from the time you order the test. Some people may need early test results because of their work or home environment, symptoms, or other factors.
Coronavirus testing at home is suitable for people who:
- Those suspected of having been exposed to COVID-19 (with or without symptoms) and may stay at home until they receive their test results.
- Those with mild to moderate symptoms and may be in quarantine until they receive a negative result or symptoms disappear for several days.
common denominator? People should be able to stay at home while awaiting their test results. If you can’t stay at home until you test positive (for example, if your employer requires it), or you need a quick result for some other reason, an at-home COVID-19 test isn’t right for you.

Savage was yesterday the subject of a £2.5million bid from boyhood heroes Everton, but the offer was slammed as "derisory" by St Andrews officials.
But the Wales international will now put pen to paper on a £25,000-per-week contract with City which will take him through to 2008, with the final year of the new deal being optional.
City boss Steve Bruce had always been confident Savage would sign the new deal which has been on the table for the last six weeks.
Bruce, however, was growing frustrated at the delay as it is believed the midfielder was looking for parity with the club's top earners such as new signing Emile Heskey, understood to be on £32,000 per week.
Everton had been hoping to take advantage of the situation, but came in for criticism from chairman David Gold and managing director Karren Brady, initially for making public their bid and then for the offer itself.
But the 29-year-old is to now remain at St Andrews, much to the delight of Bruce who told the official Birmingham website, www.bcfc.com: "Thankfully all the speculation surrounding Robbie's future can now stop here.
"He's been an integral part of my team since he joined us two years ago and he will continue to be so.
"Myself and the board never wanted him to leave, so we are absolutely delighted with his decision to commit himself to Birmingham City for a further four years."
Savage's decision has also pleased co-owner David Sullivan, who first poured further scorn on Everton's bid.
"We weren't impressed with the fact that they [Everton] made it [their bid] public," said Sullivan.
"Why they make these things public I do not know. It unsettles players. The offer was ludicrous. I just do not know what they did it for."
On Savage, Sullivan then added: "Our players only came back (to pre-season trainin) last Thursday so we had not got around to doing anything.
"But we asked Robbie to show commitment to the club and that is what he has done."
Sullivan, meanwhile, has not ruled out the prospect of Bruce making another signing this summer following the captures of Emile Heskey, Jesper Gronkjaer, Mario Melchiot, Muzzy Izzet and Julian Gray.
"There may be one more," confirmed Sullivan on Sky Sports News.
"Never say never because you know the nature of football."Reuse content

Bending of light in quantum gravity
A recent paper in Physical Review Letters by John Donoghue and Barry Holstein, with colleagues from France and Denmark, is highlighted in Physics. They present new techniques to calculate the quantum correction to the bending of starlight in General Relativity. Though too small to be measured, the result is interesting because it violates some classical formulations of the Equivalence Principle.

Women are a crucial yet often ignored resource within the agricultural industry. Lack of ownership, access to finance and markets, agricultural training, and other socio-economic barriers prevent women from having an active voice in the agricultural sector. A tribal woman from Juwadi village in Ghodadongri block of Betul district in Madhya Pradesh is breaking these barriers to empower herself and other women farmers like her. Hailing from a small village, Juwadiin Madhya Pradesh, Sukhiya Tumdum faced many challenges while growing up and even after her marriage. With the singular goal to improve her family's condition, Sukhiya Bai joined a farming workshop where she learned about modern agricultural practices- from planting seeds to pouring medicines, and started supporting her family by working on farms. But her journey didn't stop there. Since then, she has passed on this knowledge to countless other women farmers by organising education and training sessions on best practices and management of farmlands and crops.
Today, she has personally trained, educated and provided support to ensure better household income for over 200 women farmers. Popularly called the ‘Ajeevika Mitra' among farmers, Sukhiya Bai is a Ward (Panch) and SHG member and is keenly empowering the women by educating, motivating, and supporting them via every means possible.
She continues to amplify the voice of women farmers by encouraging them to participate in initiatives like Integrated Natural Resource Management (INRM). She has also been instrumental in designing and implementing INRM plans for five villages. During implementation, she advocated for women farmers to be provided labour work under Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Act (MGNREGA). In recent years, she has also been working as a service provider for at least 50% of women farmers in terms of availing quality farm inputs and offering vegetable seedlings to cater to vegetable promotion in the area with marginal input cost for the women.
Join us in recognising Sukhiya Bai's efforts in uplifting women farmers and bridging the gender gap in farming. Watch her story on Network18 presents Badlaav Humse Hai powered by AU Small Finance Bank: https://bit.ly/3eOqh4y

Jonathan Law begins his exploration of that curiously enduring but little-discussed literary trope, the library of imaginary books…
I knew it reminded me of something – that list of articles drummed out of Wikipedia for being too weird or dumb or just plain unhinged: in fact, a bunch of things I’ve read in books by Joyce and Rabelais and Thomas Browne and others. Unless I’m wrong, this very modern list extends an old literary genre – the seriocomic list of missing, imaginary, or otherwise phantom books.
It’s a trope you’ll find in works ranging from the 16th century to the present, by writers as diverse as Donne, Coleridge, and Neil Gaiman. When you look at these strange, inspired, sometimes demented lists of books that no one will ever read – as I mean to do in the next five or six posts – you’ll see that our Wiki list fits right in. There is the same crazy profusion, the same queer pathos, the same unnerving medley of the grotesque, the ribald, and the eerie. And something else too: like our Wiki rejects, these lists appear to focus a deep anxiety about the whole business of writing and publishing – and the appalling extent of both human knowledge and human ignorance.
As a trope or genre, the fictitious book list can be traced back to François Rabelais and the seventh chapter of his Pantagruel (1532). With a thirst to study as inordinate as his thirst for wine, the young Pantagruel makes his way to Paris, where he visits the “very stately and magnifick” library at the Abbey of St Victoire. The queer stuff he finds there is set out at length in a “Repertory and Catalogue” of the Abbey’s books – a list of 139 titles that garbles bad French with macaronic Latin. I give a selection in the ripe 17th-century translation by Sir Thomas Urquhart:
The Codpiece of the Law; The Pomegranate of Vice; The Churning Ballock of the Valiant; The Prickle of Wine; The Spur of Cheese; The Tailpiece-Cushion, or Close-breech of Discipline; The Cobbled Shoe of Humility; The Trivet of Good Thoughts; The Kettle of Magnanimity; The Cavilling Entanglements of Confessors; The Spectacles of Pilgrims bound for Rome; The Bagpipe of the Prelates; Of Peas and Bacon, cum Commento; The Rasping and Hard-scraping of the Cardinals; The said Author’s Apology against those who allege that the Pope’s mule doth eat but at set times; The Shitabranna of the Maids; The Bald Arse or Peeled Breech of the Widows; The Teeth-chatter or Gum-didder of Lubberly Lusks; The Paring-shovel of the Theologues; The Drench-horn of the Masters of Arts; The Gulsgoatony or Rasher of Cormorants and Ravenous Feeders; The Rammishness of the Spaniards supergivuregondigaded by Friar Inigo; A perpetual Almanack for those that have the gout and the pox; The Hotchpot of Hypocrites; The History of the Hobgoblins; The Gulling Fibs and Counterfeit shows of Commissaries; The Juglingatorium of Sophisters; The Niddy-noddy of the Satchel-loaded Seekers, by Friar Bindfastatis; The Racket of Swag-waggers; The Ape’s Paternoster; The Crickets and Hawk’s-bells of Devotion; The Trictrac of the Knocking Friars; The Dunger’s Martingale; Whirlingfriskorum Chasemarkerorum per Fratrem Crackwoodloguetis; The Clouted Patches of a Stout Heart; The Mummery of the Racket-keeping Robin-goodfellows; The Hotchpotch or Gallimaufry of the perpetually begging Friars; The Morris-dance of the Heretics; The Skinnery of the new Start-ups extracted out of the fallow-butt, incornifistibulated and plodded upon in the angelic sum; The Chimney-sweeper of Astrology; The Bumsquibcracker of Apothecaries
This is clearly a broad satire on the world of Medieval learning, as it appeared to the new men of the Renaissance – a crazy structure of old wives’ tales, monkish twaddle, and hair-splitting legal and theological debate. When you factor in Rabelais’s trademark scatology and a deal of sheer nonsense, the world of deleted Wikipedia articles does not feel so very far away. Our reaction is perhaps meant to be horror at all that waste of human brain cells, but what comes through is sheer, turbocharged comic energy. Perhaps, like other satirists, Rabelais fell half in love with his own grotesque invention – certainly the list grew ever longer in successive editions of the book.
In the 16th and 17th centuries any number of writers would follow Rabelais in making the imaginary book list a vehicle for satire or whimsical invention. This can perhaps be linked to the explosion of printed matter at the time, which seems to have induced a feeling of information overload comparable to that of our own day. The list of ridiculous books may have been a way of taming this abundance through parody, the catalogue form imposing a kind of order even as its contents spin off into madness. Some such complex of feelings seems to have inspired John Donne’s little-known squib The Courtier’s Library of Rare Books Not for Sale (c. 1605), a catalogue of imaginary titles that derives fairly obviously from the library of St Victoire. Where Rabelais’s target was the fusty nonsense of the Middle Ages, Donne’s seems to be the excesses of the new learning, especially in the fashionable forms then prevalent at court. Some choice titles from Donne’s list include:
Edward Hoby’s Afternoon Belchings [Hoby was a Protestant controversialist]
On Distinguishing the Sex and Hermaphroditism of Atoms
On the art of decyphering and finding some treason in any intercepted letter
Concerning the method of emptying the dung from Noah’s Ark
Martin Luther, On Shortening the Lord’s Prayer
The Princely Ocean, or The Pyramid, or The Colossus, or The Abyss of Wits: where by means of 60,000 letters to the Nobles of all nations … are related everything that is able to be related concerning toothpicks and hangnails
On the Navigability of the Waters above the heavens, and whether Ships in the Firmament will land there or on our shores on the Day of Judgment, by John Dee
What not? or a confutation of all errors in Theology as well as in the other sciences, and the mechanical arts, by all men, dead, living, and to be born, put together one night after supper
“With these books at your elbow”, says Donne, “you may in almost every branch of knowledge suddenly emerge as an authority.”
In contrast to Donne’s witty farrago, the writers of the late 17th century seem to have used the fake book list mainly as a rather blunt instrument of satire. A particularly scabrous example is the Bibliotheca Fanatica: or, the Phanatique Library, Being a Catalogue of Such Books as have been lately made and by the Authors presented to the Colledge of Bedlam – a supposed list of Puritan and Parliamentary writings that appeared in the year of the Restoration. Its flavour is given by such titles as A Treatise written in defence of his seizing on the Boy’s Close-stool-pan, and reserving the contents for his own profit, because the Lad was so profane to carry it on a Sunday, by one “Alderman Atkins, Shit-breeches”. In a similar vein, the aftermath of the Glorious Revolution threw up A Catalogue of Books, of the newest Fashion, to be sold by Auction at the Whigs’ Coffee-House at the Sign of the Jackanapes in Prating Alley (1693) – a Jacobite take-down of the new regime. As the book historian Adam Smyth has commented: “Books that don’t exist are particularly good at satire: unlike their embodied cousins, they make their point with precision, uncluttered by the freight of nuance.”
To find something closer to the attack on false learning in Rabelais and Donne, we need to skip forward a bit and expose ourselves to a much more alarming and sophisticated kind of satire. Open Jonathan Swift’s A Tale of a Tub at the title page and the first thing you’ll see is a list of “Treatises by the same author, most of them mentioned in the following discourses”. These include:
A Dissertation upon the principal Productions of Grub Street
A panegyrical Essay upon the Number THREE
A Panegyric upon the World
An analytical Discourse upon Zeal, histori-theo-physi-logically considered
A general History of Ears
A modest Defence of the Proceedings of the Rabble in all Ages
A Description of the Kingdom of Absurdities
A critical Essay upon the Art of Canting, philosophically, physically, and musically considered
The author of these extraordinary sounding works does not give a name, but admits to being a Grub Street hack – one of the new breed of commercial writers for hire, willing to turn his hand to any subject that pays. In this grubby persona, Swift leads us through a dizzying series of digressions and digressions within digressions, each of which parodies some contemporary mode of writing. Although no one has really got to the bottom of the Tale, it is on one level Swift’s satirical response to the new print culture of his day. By the early 18th century falling costs, rising literacy levels, and the end of direct government control had conspired to produce a thriving print industry and an increasingly print-hungry public. In London alone there were some 600 print shops, churning out cheap, ephemeral titles – almanacs, digests, periodicals – in previously undreamt of quantities. For cultural conservatives like Swift, this was threatening; how was the precious cultural capital of the past to survive in a world of such meretricious, barely literate nonsense? The Wikipedia entry on A Tale of a Tub describes the cultural context in terms that we might well find resonant:
During the Restoration the print revolution began to change every aspect of British society. It became possible for anyone to spend a small amount of money and have his or her opinions published as a broadsheet, and to gain access to the latest discoveries in science, literature, and political theory, as books became less expensive and digests and “indexes” of the sciences grew more numerous. The difficulty lay in discerning truth from falsehood, credible claims from impossible one. Swift writes A Tale of a Tub in the guise of a narrator who is excited and gullible about what the new world has to offer, and feels that he is quite the equal or superior of any author who ever lived because he, unlike them, possesses ‘technology’ and newer opinions.

WATCH: Exhausted volunteers are nursing sore muscles in Parksville after an epic clean up effort at a site that’s been used as a dumping ground for decades. Little Mountain is a breathtaking beauty just outside Parksville, so as Skye Ryan reports volunteers dug in and with air support from a donated helicopter cleaned it back up to its natural splendour.
In a scene resembling a rescue Sunday, a helicopter hooked up to giant bags of trash that had been flung from a cliff over decades. All to save the beauty of Parksville’s Little Mountain.
“This goes back decades,” said Coun. Adam Fras with the City of Parksville.
“Some of the community members here say it goes back to the 50’s, 60’s, 70’s,” said Fras.
“People have been dropping stuff over the mountain,” said Bill Rawlins with the Parkville Rotary Club.
“And to have 35 people here today to be sorting these bags coming in, it’s pretty exciting stuff to see happen.”
On the ground, at a road accessible site, teams of volunteers awaited the drops. Sorting and recycling what they could in an extraordinary show of community.
“That was just so exciting to see that come in so fast,” said Rawlins.
“Just in, drop, released and gone,” he said.
“That guy knows how to fly a chopper,” said volunteer Gerald Dupont.
With each one of the 50 heavy loads taking back their Island treasure.
“Look at this,” said volunteer Leanna Taekema.
“It’s like jaw dropping right.”
Everyone from Parksville’s Rotary Club to teenagers at Ballenas Secondary rolled up their sleeves
“This is wonderful to see so many people coming together like this,” said Fras.
“It’s affecting, there’s no animals out there,” said Casey Reumkens with Ballenas Secondary’s Interact Club.
“So maybe if we get it cleaned up animals will start coming back,” she said.
They pulled out everything from old furniture, to computers and even an old car.
All with volunteer labour, even the helicopter pilot donated his time machine and fuel, to make their piece of paradise what they remember.
“There’s no way we could get it off the mountain without the helicopter,” said Rawlins.
“And without this machine here hauling stuff around, impossible for us to move the bags, and all these people.”

The invention relates to a method and an apparatus for controlling the brake system of a vehicle.
DE 195 26 659, to which U.S. application Ser. No. 08/663,677 corresponds, discloses a method and an apparatus for controlling the brake system of a vehicle, in which the braking force at the wheels is actively controlled during a braking event according to the way the brake pedal is actuated by the driver. A deceleration regulator is provided for control, and a nominal deceleration value for the vehicle is derived from the way in which the driver operates the brake pedal. This nominal deceleration value is converted by the regulator to a factor representing the braking moment to be applied to the wheel brakes. This factor is in turn adjusted preferably in a braking moment regulator by controlling the brake force at the wheel brakes (e.g., by controlling the brake pressure). In the preferred embodiment a PID (proportional-integral-differential) regulator is used as the this regulator.
The brake system itself has a great influence on the performance of the regulator since the way in which it increases and reduces the brake moment can be very different. In one preferred embodiment a hydraulic brake system is used in which the dynamic differences have an important influence on the controlling action.
DE 43 38 399 A1 discloses a driving speed regulator which on the basis of the difference between a nominal or target speed and the actual speed forms a target deceleration value which is the basis for intervention into the brake system of the vehicle toward sustaining the target speed.
For the brake control, it is desirable to have a driving speed regulator of this kind act on the same deceleration regulator. Due to the abrupt changes in the nominal value generated by the deceleration regulator, which in such a case occur in switching between the various value setting means, the controlling action of the deceleration regulator, and thus the action of the brake control itself, might be perceptibly impaired.
It is the object of the invention to offer a deceleration regulator for controlling the brake system of a vehicle, which is adapted to the requirements of automatic braking of the vehicle in various situations.
A deceleration regulator for controlling the brake system is offered, which adapts itself to different requirements of automatic deceleration.
It is especially advantageous that the dynamics of the engagement of the brakes are considerably improved by a preliminary control of the intervention factors given by the deceleration regulator. It is furthermore especially advantageous that, by controlling the integral component of the deceleration regulator, a decided improvement of control performance is achieved with regard to the dynamics of brake application. This improvement is seen especially in hydraulic brake systems. This eliminates any special adaptation of the regulator to the various time factors in brake systems.
Advantageously, furthermore, a structural changeover or command variable filter is used whereby, in the event of a change of the setting means (e.g., from the driving speed regulator to the brake pedal) the performance of the regulator is considerably improved. Any possible abrupt changes of nominal values result in no adverse effect on the regulator and its performance, so that in this operational situation the application of the brakes has no adverse effect on comfort.
FIG. 1 shows a general block diagram of a system for controlling a brake system of a vehicle, while in
FIG. 2 a preferred embodiment of the deceleration regulator is shown in a block diagram.
FIG. 1 shows an electronic control unit 10 which has access through an input circuit 12 to at least one output circuit 16. These are connected together through a communication system 18 for the exchange of data and information. The electronic control unit controls the brake system 24 of a vehicle through output lines 20-22. In the preferred embodiment it is a hydraulic brake system which has pump and valve arrangements 6 which control the braking force at the individual wheel brakes 28, 30, 32 and 34 according to the signals delivered through the lines 20-22. Such brake systems are state of the art. Furthermore, input lines are connected to the electronic control unit 10, and they are combined in a bus system (e.g., CAN) in the preferred embodiment. A first input line 36 leads from a driving speed regulator 38 to the control unit 10, while an additional input line 40 runs from a brake pedal 42 to the control unit 10. A factor representing the nominal deceleration, or a factor from which a nominal deceleration is derivable, is put out by the driving speed control system, while a factor representing the degree of braking (stroke length, force, pressure, etc.) is put out from the brake pedal 42 through the input line 40. Also, input lines 44-46 are provided, which run from measuring devices 48-50 and feed additional data on the brake system of the vehicle or its motor, such as wheel speed, motor speed, applied braking force (brake pressure) etc.
The control functions to be executed to control the brake system are implemented as programs in the microcomputer 14. In addition to the known functions, the ABS, ASR etc., the control unit 10, in a preferred embodiment, controls the brake force at the wheel brakes independently of the driver's wish in situations in which the driver very rapidly depresses the brake pedal due to a dangerous situation. In this kind of braking situation, a nominal vehicle deceleration factor is derived by means of computations, characteristics and performance graphs from the way the brake pedal is operated. As in the state of the art referred to above, this nominal factor is compared with the actual deceleration data and fed to a regulator which on the basis of the predetermined regulating strategy produces an output signal which represents a braking moment which is to be applied to the wheel brakes and is such that the actual deceleration approaches the nominal deceleration. In the preferred embodiment, the brake moment factor determined by the regulator is set for each wheel brake by operating the valve and pump system 26. In addition to this so-called brake assist function, which acts only in panic braking situations, provision can additionally be made for performing the deceleration action according to the way the brake pedal is operated by regulating the wheel brakes and thus nominal the brake force amplification electronically. Furthermore, provision can be made for a vehicle speed regulator, especially one which cooperates with a radar detector, to act on the brakes to reduce the speed and maintain the nominal speed or preserve a minimum distance from another vehicle. For that purpose the speed regulator 38 sends to the control unit 10 a nominal deceleration signal, or it sends factors from which such a signal can be derived, which is then executed by acting on the wheel brakes. The vehicle speed regulator 38 can also be a component of the control unit 10 and can be implemented as programs in the microcomputer 14.
In the preferred embodiment, a hydraulically operated brake system is used as the brake system. The invention, however, is not limited to this application, but is used with the described advantages also in air brake systems or electric motor-operated wheel brakes.
A preferred embodiment of the described control is represented in a block diagram in FIG. 2. This block diagram represents a program of the microcomputer in which the individual elements represented in FIG. 2 are parts or steps of the program.
The way in which the brake pedal is operated, which is communicated through line 40, is converted, by means of a characteristic curve 100, for example, to a nominal deceleration factor ASOLL. In the preferred embodiment of a so-called brake assist, the characteristic 100 is a performance graph in which the degree of actuation, present in the form of the pressure PVOR in the master brake cylinder of the brake system, taking its rate of variation dPVORdt into account, is converted to a nominal deceleration factor. This nominal factor is fed through a switch 102 to a reference magnitude filter. Accordingly, the nominal deceleration factor fed by the vehicle speed regulator through line 36, when the switch 102 is in the appropriate position, is fed to the filter 104. The switch 102 changes between its positions according to the operational situation. If it is active, the switch 102 is in the position indicated by the broken line; if the vehicle speed regulator is not active it is in the position indicated by a solid line. The reference magnitude filter 104 serves to adapt the nominal value to the physically possible range of values and is one of the measures which is introduced to improve the control performance when the nominal values change abruptly. The filtering action of the reference magnitude filter is such that the next-following deceleration regulator follows an abrupt change of the nominal deceleration in a smooth manner. An example of this filtration is a slope limitation of the nominal value by which the abrupt changes in the nominal value are avoided.
The nominal acceleration factor filtered in this manner is fed to a comparison circuit 106 in which the difference between the nominal deceleration factor ASOLL and the actual deceleration factor AIST is formed. The actual deceleration factor is formed in the brake moment (brake pressure) regulator 108 in relation to the wheel speeds fed through lines 44-46.
The difference between the nominal and actual deceleration ΔA is delivered to a deceleration regulator 110. This regulator consists in the preferred embodiment of a proportional part 112, a variable integral part 114 and a variable or unvariable differential component 116. The signals put out by these parts are connected in an adder 118 to the regulator output signal. The regulator output signal is then fed to an additional adder 120. The output signal of this junction 120 constitutes a nominal brake moment which is fed to the braking moment regulator 108. The latter, by means of the output lines 20-22 influences the valve and pump systems of the brake system to bring the braking moment to the nominal value at the individual wheel brakes. The actual deceleration thus approaches the nominal deceleration.
To improve the action of the regulator, the filtered or unfiltered nominal deceleration factor ASOLL is fed to a computer element 122, where the nominal deceleration is converted directly to a brake moment. This is the result of the product of the mass of the vehicle, the tire radius and the nominal deceleration, and constitutes the brake moment that is to be set in the ideal case (level, unloaded vehicle, etc.) in order to arrive at the nominal deceleration. This brake moment is switched in the junction 120 to the regulator output signal. The regulator accordingly controls only the deviations of the actual marginal conditions from the ideal marginal conditions considered in the preliminary control action.
Furthermore, provision is made for adapting the integral component 114 of the deceleration regulator. The integration of the regulation deviation is performed only when the actual value has nearly reached the nominal value. If the actual value is still decidedly above or below the nominal value, the brake moment portion delivered by the integral component remains constant. To perform this adaptation, the nominal moment value is fed to a comparator 124 to which the actual moment value formed in the brake moment regulator is also fed. The difference between the nominal and the actual value is compared in a threshold value stage 126 with a predetermined threshold. If the difference is below this threshold, that is, if the actual value to be established nearly reaches the nominal value, a switch element 128 is actuated. This switch element in this case connects the regulation deviation to the input of the integral component 114. If the difference between the nominal value and actual value is above the threshold, then the switch element 128 is in the broken-line position. In this position the value 0 is fed from the memory cell 130 to the integral component 114, i.e., the integration is stopped.
In an advantageous embodiment, instead of using the difference between the nominal moment and the actual moment, the difference between the nominal deceleration and the actual deceleration is used to control the integral component in a corresponding manner. If instead of the brake moment regulator another regulator (brake force regulator, brake pressure regulator, current regulator, etc.) is used, the difference to be used as the basis of the control of the integral component can be formed from brake force values, current values or brake pressure values, etc.
By the adaptive control of the integral component a definite improvement of the regulator performance is achieved, especially in regard to its dynamic. Special advantages are shown by this method of procedure in hydraulic systems whose performance in increasing and reducing the moment differs greatly. Thus there is no need for a special adaptation of the regulator to different timing characteristics.
The structural rearrangement of the regulator by changing the nominal value generator was an alternative to the reference magnitude filter 114. The structural rearrangement of the regulator affects the regulator itself such that no abrupt change in the regulator output signal is produced. Especially the integral component and/or the differential component of the regulator is set to specific values by changing over the nominal value generator accordingly, and in a preferred embodiment these values are selected such that, when the nominal value is changed over the regulator output signal remains the same. Thus abrupt changes are effectively prevented, since the regulator smooths them out by its own dynamic.
The structural rearrangement is used not only when switching the nominal value generator but also in all abrupt nominal value changes. For this purpose the course of the nominal value in time is determined from the nominal deceleration value ASOLL in the differentiation stage 132. If the change in the nominal value exceeds the threshold set in the threshold value stage 134, the integral and/or differential components (114, 116) are corrected and set at values which lead to an output signal from the regulator, i.e., to a nominal braking moment which was set before the change in the nominal value.
In the preferred embodiment, a PID regulator is used as the deceleration regulator. In other embodiments one or more parts can be omitted.
Also, in one advantageous embodiment, all of the above-described measures are used, while in other embodiments any desired combination of the measures or only one of the measures is used.

By Claudia Williams, CEO of Manifest MedEx.
It still seems magical that Spotify creates a personalized music track for my life. Similarly, I now get personalized suggestions of what books to read, what recipes to cook, and even where to travel. This is the way we’re living our lives except for healthcare. It represents almost 20 percent of the U.S. economy and has a huge impact on my life, but I don’t have the ability to personalize my healthcare experience, personalize my medical treatments, or personalize how I’m treated as I move through the system.
What’s the missing piece? Data. We need to break data out of silos, exchange it, share it, leverage it, use it — all types of data — claims, clinical, new, and old. We can’t build personalized health without piecing together each patient’s individual experience to tell the full story. We cannot leverage the positive power of technology, including machine learning and AI, without data. Unlocking this information is difficult. But it’s critical work. And we need to democratize access to data, not treat it like a competitive asset, to bring the power of personalized medicine to every clinician and patient.
Data signals help patients personalize their choices
A nurse friend of mine has stage four breast cancer. Her clinicians gave her a treatment plan. But she took a close look at her health, her data, and the evidence and determined that in her particular case there was no evidence that the treatment options would extend her life, and they would probably cause her a lot of pain and suffering in the form of adverse effects. She decided not to get treatment and has lived a quite incredible life since then. Her doctors were surprised. But to her, it was simple — she didn’t want treatment because there was no evidence that it would work for her.
Data signals help care teams see the hidden patterns
We work with a care manager who follows up with patients after they have been in the hospital to help them get the care they need. Recently, she noticed a patient was getting treated at multiple emergency departments for falls. No one had noticed the pattern. But the care manager had access to the patient’s community health record from Manifest MedEx (MX) and could see the trend: The patient needed a walker. It did not take a huge amount of information or technology to deliver dramatically more effective and personalized care. It took data and someone to notice.
That’s the care we all want. We want healthcare that’s responsive to our needs, to our preferences, and to the simple things that make a difference.
You can’t personalize patient care without data
Exciting technology is in the pipeline to make the vision of personalized medicine a reality, but we don’t have a reliable health data infrastructure in place to power this future. It’s like saying you’re going to create self-driving cars, but there’s no GPS network.
Ten years ago, most data in healthcare was trapped on paper. Now, most — but not all — of it is digital. It’s huge that in just a decade we’ve been able to transition from paper to electronic data. And we are also getting better at sharing it.
But if we don’t have platforms to integrate it, match it to each patient, and identify signal, the data is just more noise for overburdened clinicians. If we want a future of personalized health, we’re going to have to make meaning from data. And this meaning needs to be available to everyone treating a patient.

I am planning on making a new chili using grilled venison, Great Lakes Black Out Stout, and roasted corn (I'm in Ohio and sweet corn is getting good right now). My least favorite part of making and eating chili is the beans; I hate selecting them and pick around them in my bowl. (I will probably also be using chiles en adobo, serranos, and roasted jalapenos/tien tsin as my pepper trinity.)
The only ones I do actually like are black beans. What would your recommendations be for a good bean, both in choice and preparation to pair with the ingredients above? (Please include other ingredients or flavors to incorporate in the comments.) I want it to be dark and mysterious; typically I name things first and then build them up from there and this one I'm calling Bear's Den Chili (hopefully that will be a note to start you off with).

Nowadays, the PC buyers have a choice about what kind of storage to get in laptop and computer. If you look at a modern laptop or computer, then you will see that most of them come equipped with solid state drive. This form of storage now comes in every that has a better option than the traditional ones. So, What does the term SSD mean and How does it differ from the traditional hard disks? So, without further discussion, let’s move to the point directly.
1. What is a Solid State Drive?
An SSD stands for solid state drive which is a mass storage device much similar to the computer RAM. It is a storage device which uses non-volatile memory as a means and storing and accessing the data. Unlike the traditional hard drives, an SSD drive has no moving parts, and it stores all kinds of data and information in memory chips, which makes it an easy task for the user to access the stored information.
As the costs have come down, solid state drives have become suitable substitutes for the traditional hard drives in both laptop and desktop computers. Now, you might say that this type of technology is already available in the flash drives that plug into a USB Drive. In fact, both the devices use the same type of non-volatile memory storage to retain their capacity. SSDs are also an excellent solution for the apps like netbooks and nettops that don’t even require a lot of storage.
2. Why Should You Use Solid State Drives?
Solid State Drives have grown so popular from the past few years because of some of its advantages. The majority of this comes from the fact that it doesn’t have any moving parts, whereas the traditional ones have spin motors and all the storage is handled by the magnetic platters. Solid State Drives provides these three distinct advantages:-
- Flexible Data Storage
- Less Power Usage
- Durability and Reliability
1. Flexible Data Storage
Flexible Data Storage will make most of the techy people happy because the faster speed of an SSD help enable fast loading so that people can spend more time in doing work rather than waiting. Also, you can use an SSD drive like a flash drive.
2. Less Power Usage
Since the SSDs don’t have the moving parts, they require less power used to operate and can increase the lifespan your laptop’s battery. As they require less power usage, they’re able to maintain the laptop’s temperature, which will help the system temps down.
Also Read:- What Is an IPSW File?
3. Durability and Reliability
Reliability is also a key factor for the portable hard drives. As the traditional hard drives have sensitive materials so that any short drop can cause an issue in the hard drives. Since the SSD reads and stores all kinds of data in the memory chips, there are fewer chances of damages in the hardware. So, Mechanically the Solid state hard drives are better than the traditional hard drives.
That’s it! Above are the tweaks that you can make to your computer to take much out of the solid state drive. I hope this article helped you to get the required information that you are looking for. If this helped you, then share it with your friends, family and with people those who are looking for the same. At last, if you have any doubts or questions in your mind, then feel free to share them with us in the comment section below.

Yoichi Shimatsu, Senior Advisor to the 4th Media, reported on the rise of Islamist extremist movement in North Africa in the 1990s.
In what country have Americans fought more wars than in any other? The runner-ups include the two wars in Iraq, a pair for Germany, Britain, twice in the Revolution and 1812, and Cuba, a double-header if the covert Bay of Pigs operation is included. The invasions of Canada don’t count since it was still a British colony.
These worthy foes fall short by half. The U.S. Marine Corps ditty about the “shores of Tripoli” provides a clue. The answer was given away by Muammar Qadhafi in his defiant comeback speech on February 22, accusing the US of instigating the current rebellion against his regime. His head wrapped in a saffron turban, he gave a rousing, if rambling, account of surviving dozens of U.S. bombs that blasted his desert encampment, wounding him and killing more than 40 aides in 1986.
The correct answer then is Libya, with four wars and counting. The two Barbary Wars of 1805 and 1815 were the first expeditionary campaigns for the newborn American republic. Storming across the Sahara in 1943, Gen. George Patton led the Allied attack on Rommel’s Afrikacorps. Libya was then a colony of Mussolini Italy, one of the Axis powers. Later in 1986, President Ronald Reagan ordered air strikes against Qadhafi’s tent in a near-miss assassination attempt.
Now a chorus of human-rights activists are calling for the U.S. military to impose a no-fly zone over Libyan airspace, as was done over Kosovo during the NATO campaign to partition Yugoslavia in the late 1990s. In the Balkans case, the no-fly policy led to shoot-downs followed by an invasion of ground troops. Qadhafi’s fiery pledge “to die as a martyr ” is a signal that he is anticipating the Fifth American-Libyan War.
President Barack Obama, with ongoing conflicts in Afghanistan and Iraq and his own record of civilian casualties, has so far not escalated beyond covert support for America’s newfound allies among Islamic extremists and terrorists. Triple Dealing in Tripoli Libyan exiles and defectors deem Qadhafi to be out of touch with reality. Diplomats at the United Nations are shocked by his use of abusive language, with outright threats to kill rebels.
They’re not the first to be outraged. Reagan, in a fit of righteous anger, called Qadhafi a “mad dog”, a term traditionally used for Englishmen. Yet in 1993, Qadhafi was hailed by the West as a model of virtue and sanity in the Mideast for his pledge to forsake weapons of mass destruction. The Rabta chemical weapons facility was converted into a pharmaceutical plant. Relations with Washington and London were normalized and soon Western oil companies including Chevron, Occidental, ConocoPhillips, Marathon and BP were exploring and drilling for oil and gas in Libya.
Following the 9-11 attacks, Libya became a key ally in America’s war on terror, particularly in the hunt for Osama bin Laden, who escaped to the Saharan region at the start of the Afghan War, as I was told by sources from the Taliban while war reporting at that time. The Pentagon has since established a special forces base in the southwestern region of Fezzan. Under a $165 million contract, General Dynamics provided high-tech communications for Libya’s mobile elite forces.
Thus for the Libyan strongman to renounce his new ties with the US and accuse Washington of instigating protests cannot be mad ravings but must have some basis in fact. As shown in US diplomatic cables, the US intrigues against Qadhafi involve covert ties with religious extremists, including the Islamic Fighting Group, or al-Jamaa al-Islamiyya al-Muqatilah, which is on the State Department list of terrorist groups.
Most people around the world assume that the war on terrorism since the 9-11 attacks definitively ended any American and British support for Islamist insurgents. It didn’t. Washington isn’t just double-dealing; it’s been triple-dealing in Tripoli. Oil and Religion In possibly his last televised speech, Qadhafi described himself as a child of the desert, a “Bedouin revolutionary” who dared to challenge the colonial powers and their regional puppets.
He disparaged the protesters as “greasy rats” and “terrorists” who aim to divide the country into “emirates” under the flag, not of revolutionary Libya, but of the old colonialist-backed monarchy. His words are something more than a dictator’s rant. They ring true in the light of the Libyan revolution of 1969, which established the principle of Jamahiriya or the State of the People. Libya sits on a reserve of more than 30 billion barrels of light sweet crude, remarkably low in sulfur, acid and tar. Libyan petroleum, with its low refining costs, is premier grade as Petrus is to wine.
Americans have always desired that oil, and in World War II, planted Wheelus Airfield on Libyan soil to claim those reserves for Esso (today’s Exxon-Mobile). The US backed the 1951 enthronement of Libya’s first and last monarch, King Idriss . His claim to royalty arose from his prior position as the Emir of Cyrenaica, awarded to him by the Italian colonialists and affirmed under the British occupation of eastern Libya, which lasted through World War II to 1951.
In 1969, the young Colonel Qadhafi launched a military coup to oust the puppet king. His first decision, as recalled in the recent speech, was to “expel five American military bases,” including the Strategic Air Command’s Wheelus Airfield, closed in 1970. In the late-1960s, Qadhafi created the National Oil Corporation, which wrested control of exploration away from Esso. The deposed king’s base in Cyrenaica, or Barqa in Arabic, with its major cities of Benghazi and Derna, is at the center of the current “democracy” rebellion. Also known as Sheikh Sidi Idriss, he was leader of the Senussi sect, which was affiliated with the ultra-orthodox Salafi movement in the Arabian Peninsula and, more recently, with the Muslim Brotherhood in next-door Egypt.
Fanaticism Posing as Reason Given the orthodox climate in Cyrenaica, it is not surprising then that the senior cleric of the Muslim Brotherhood, Yusuf al-Qaradawi, has just issued a fatwa against Qadhafi, urging Libyan soldiers to fire on their commander in chief. This is not the first time that the 84-year-old Egyptian scholar has been involved in such threats against secular political leaders. Following an assassination attempt against Egypt’s first president Gamal Abdel Nasser, the cleric was prohibited from speaking in public. After the murder of President Anwar Sadat by Brotherhood-linked assassins, Qaradawi gave his last Friday sermon in Cairo in praise of the killers and then went into exile in Qatar.
Just prior to the outbreak of the Libyan riots, Qaradawi finally revisited Egypt to a joyous reception by more than 1 million supporters at a victory celebration in Cairo’s Tahrir Square. This aged religious scholar is promoted by human-rights groups as a voice of democracy and pluralism. Yet in the next breath, this “democrat” advocates “defensive” suicide bombings and the mandatory death penalty for homosexuals. Qaradawi owes this popularity among an audience of 40 million Muslims to his televangelism over the Qatar-based Al Jazeera network, which is also the main international news source out of North Africa.
Not by coincidence, when confronted by Libyan officials, Al Jazeera producers admitted to broadcasting faked tapes, for example, of jets flying (in daylight) over protesters (in nighttime darkness). That admission of falsified images could back the regime’s claims of atrocities against civilians were exaggerated and sometimes fabricated. Al Jazeera is financed and owned by the royal family of Qatar. Just two weeks prior to the first Cairo protests, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton spend three days in Doha, Qatar, to establish a special “partnership” with Qatar. She spoke at the Forum for the Future alongside Qatari Prime Minister Sheikh Hamad bin Jassim Al Thani Qadhafi in his televised address appealed to Qatar, saying that he could not understand how a “brother could turn against one of his brothers.” Fratricide is not uncommon, not since Cain and Abel. American Spies in Benghazi Cyrenaica, the center of the “democracy” protests, remains a hotbed of Islamist extremism ripe for turning against the Qadhafi regime with a bit of guidance from the US, according to a confidential Embassy cable, dated June 2, 2008.
In the message titled “Die Hard in Derna”, Charge d’Affairs Chris Stevens described his visit with a Libyan subordinate to eastern Libya to meet with Islamist radicals who, like the Bruce Willis character, “stubbornly refused to die quietly.” Unofficially in the east for a visit t an American-sponsored archaeology dig, Steven’s actual mission was to retrace the trail of foreign jihadists in Iraq. “A large number of Libyan foreign fighters (were) identified in documents captured during September’s Objective Massey operation in Iraq.” A local activist confirmed those military intelligence findings. “(He told us) it was well-known that a large number of suicide bombers – invariably described as ‘martyrs’ – and foreign fighters in Iraq hailed from Derna, a fact in which the town ‘takes great pride’.”
The informant showed the embassy intelligence official “a number of small, discrete mosques tucked away in side alleys, noting the profusion of ‘popular mosques’ complicated effective monitoring by security forces.” Following the 1993 thaw in US-Libya relations after Qadhafi pledged to cease production of weapons of mass destruction, “many easterners feared the US would not allow the regime to fall and therefore viewed direct confrontation with the government of Libya as a fool’s errand. At the same time, sending young Libyans to fight in Iraq was ‘an embarrassment’ to Qadhafi.
Fighting against US and coalition forces in Iraq represented a way for frustrated young radicals to strike a blow against both Qadhafi and against his perceived American backers.” As the cable indicated, the government was well aware that the Cyrenaica-based Islamist movement is led by “afghanis”, veteran jihadists who fought the Soviet occupation of Afghanistan. Despite the cover story about visiting ancient ruins, Libyan security had picked up on the surreptitious contacts with terrorists in Derna and later Benghazi. At least five “emboffs”, jargon for embassy officials, were later prevented by airline security and police from traveling to meet dissidents in Benghazi, Berber areas west of Tunis and to the southern Fezzan district populated by Tuaregs.
American spies must have gotten around the travel bans since by March 9, 2009, as indicated in another cable, US Ambassador to Tripoli Gene Cretz was quite upbeat about the prospects of Qadhafi’s imminent political demise. Tthe sharp rivalry between the al-Qadhafi children could play an importatnt. . . .. role, in whether the al-Qadhafi family is able to hold on to power after Muammar al-Qadhafi exits (one way or another) the political scene.”
In hindsight, the term “one way or another” has dire consequences. Causes of Clandestine War The insurgent’s use of weapons in the Benghazi and Derna uprisings should put to rest the media myth of “peaceful protests.” In Cairo as well, foreign residents have told me that insurgent squads cut off electrical power and torched nearly every police station in the city center. The physical beating and sexual assault on a female ABC reporter was not done by the police but by the “peaceful protesters” who controlled Tahrir Square.
Asian domestic workers fleeing Cairo reported that many foreign women were gang-raped in public view. What is happening across the Magreb, or North Africa, is a US-sponsored Islamic uprising, similar to the bloody Muslim coup against Indonesian independence leader Sukarno. Barack Obama spent his formative years in the tutelage of his stepfather, an Indonesian military intelligence official involved in the massacre of 2 million supporters of the ousted president.
The covert alliance between the White House and religious extremists, including the powerful Muslim Brotherhood and the Libyan Islamic Fighting Group is not a local affair in Egypt, Libya or Tunisia. The secret pact s are part of a regional strategy for North Africa on an issue important enough to allow Islamic radicals who supported the 9-11 attacks to gain state power. The issue in one word is uranium. Hosni Mubarak was pushing for a crash program for Egypt to develop a nuclear capability to restrain Israeli aggression in Gaza and Lebanon. The obvious supplier of uranium is Libya. Qadhafi has in the past obtained uranium ore in the Aozou Strip a , disputed territory between Chad and Libya.
In 1987, French paratroops disguised as Chadian soldiers drove the Libyan army out of the area. That source of uranium could again become available due to a French-Libyan agreement to jointly build a civilian nuclear power plant, proposed during President Nicholas Sarkozy’s visit to Tripoli in July 2007. A European-approved nuclear facility would give Qadhafi the green light to resume his role as a uranium supplier while maintaining his claim of renouncing weapons of mass destruction. Meanwhile, Libyan-Chadian uranium could be quietly routed to Egypt via BenAli’s Tunisia.
Thus an Arab nuclear capability to deter Israeli adventurism could be realized through North African cooperation. Washington, as the protector of Israel’s nuclear monopoly over the Mideast and Africa, went for a takedown of all three regimes. Beyond presidential resignations, however, this task could prove daunting. In Algeria’s counterinsurgency campaign in the 1990s against jihadists led by returnees from Afghanistan, up to 200,000 people were killed.
The other problem is that a Brotherhood -led government in Egypt cannot be trusted not to build atomic bombs, since Qaradawi’s daughter is a nuclear physicist. Instead of managing a transition to a regional deterrence system, Washington has opened the gates of a historic catastrophe.

Global Partnerships Build Ongoing Relationships
CHICAGO, IL (July 27, 2007) – Nykki Thompson began what she hopes will be an ongoing relationship with the Zambian children she met in that African nation this summer while on a mission trip with her North Park University classmates.
"God willing, I'll go back," she says. "Getting to know the kids was great. I'd like to see them again."
Thompson was one of 132 undergraduate students, staff, and North Park Theological Seminary students who participated in 11 different trips last year as part of the newly created Global Partnerships program. University Ministries at the campus started the program last year to build ongoing relationships with people at the mission sites.
"It is so important for the integrity of our short-term missions program that we continue going to the same places," says Janelle Keller, the program’s coordinator. "This allows deep relationships to develop with the local leadership and indigenous people that we work alongside. It allows us to be invested and accountable instead of just taking a trip that will, in the end, only end up benefiting ourselves."
In the past, students would approach staff and say they would like to lead a mission trip to a location, asking if the University would help support the experience. The staff decided an organized program would be more advantageous.
"The idea was fully supported by all of the students and the organizations that we are partnering with," Keller says. "It was a great year to build a foundation and educate the campus about the direction we are now taking."
Many of the participants such as Thompson, who also worked in Oaxaca, Mexico, have told Keller they want to return to the same sites. "That has been one huge indication to me that we are headed in the right direction," she says. "Everyone thinks that they had the best trip and the best possible location."
Organizers expect the students to bring new understandings home with them. "With an emphasis on education, relationship, and collaboration, we hope students grasp how much we have to learn from our sisters and brothers around the world," says Rich Johnson, director of University Ministries.
Partnerships have been developed at several sites in the United States, including New Orleans and Appalachia. Sites also have been established in six countries: Thailand, Bolivia, Mexico, Russia, Zambia, and Chile.
Projects included working with an organization in a Thailand slum to help develop jobs for women, as well as working at an orphanage in Bolivia, constructing homes in New Orleans, and preparing campgrounds in Appalachia.
Program organizers developed three criteria for choosing each of the partner sites: education, relationships, and sustainability.
Dates for the upcoming trips will be announced during the beginning of the school year. One person who won't be returning as part of the program, however, is Keller. She has accepted a job with one of the partner organizations in Mexico.
Applicants for the position are being sought. Job descriptions and the application process are located on the North Park web site.

The commission making software is a great way to get free stuff and make yourself more money by making your own products.
The product is similar to a 3D printer, except it also features the same hardware as a printer. So, when you buy an 3D printer, you get an app that let you print 3D objects. With this software, you can create a 3D model of the object and print all of the 3D objects on it. All you have to do is change the color, size, and shape of the object to the right.
The commission making software is really very similar to the 3D printer, except it involves a software, rather than a hardware, version of it. This makes it possible to make your own 3D object without having to buy expensive equipment. The product is also a great way to make money with your own applications, especially if you want to make something that really useful and makes money.
If we’re talking about a person who just wants to write a novel, you might want to consider making a 3D-printed novel. Just make a novel. Make a 3D-printed screenplay, and make it look like a 3D-printed screenplay. You can make a screenplay as well. Make it as if you were writing it in 3D and make it as if it were a 3D-printed screenplay.
So you make a 3D-printed screenplay, and then you make it look like it’s a 3D-printed screenplay. That’s basically the same thing as making an app that makes money. You don’t need to make it look exactly like the app. You can make something that looks a little different, but still has the same basic functions.
An app is similar to a screenplay, but it is typically 3D-printed. You would make your app look exactly the same as an app, except that you would print it out instead of designing it on a 3D-printer. The only difference would be that the app would have a logo (or a company logo) instead of a digital face.
The app-to-software route is far and away the best way to make money. People will pay you to make their app look like the app. They may not even know it is an app. If your company logo is a cartoon face, people might not want to buy your app. They might think it is a fake or something. It doesn’t matter what it looks like, people are going to use it.
I’d be happy with a software that I could “make” like, say, a TV show or movie. If it would be designed to look like an app or movie, then I’d probably give it a try, but I don’t think that’s what the market needs right now.
I dont want to be all “oh but its just a logo, people will buy that.” I do want to be all “people will buy apps that look like their apps.” So what I want to do is create a software that is a logo that is a logo. I dont want it to be just a logo. I want it to be a logo. There are a lot of things people are going to want to use this software for.
When you first hear about a commission, you think the whole thing is some sort of marketing scheme. It’s not. It’s a way to get people to buy your software. There is a lot of software out there that looks like a logo, but it’s not. And if you look at the top 3 bestselling apps, they aren’t all just logos. These are apps that look like logos.

12 Chairs (2012)
a song cycle for soprano or baritone and piano
duration : 12 minutes
complete cycle recorded by Anne Dorothy Harley (soprano) with the composer as pianist is
scheduled for global digital release on Voices of the Pearl in 2025
currently booking US national tour
Dove's cycle of 13 poems provided the inspiration for Goble's song cycle, composed for medium voice and piano. Each of the poems describes the imagined inner monologue of one of those called to serve as jury members.
The poems were commissioned for a collaborative work of art installed in the Sacramento Federal Courthouse in 1999. Dove's poems are etched into the backs of marble chairs arranged in a ceremonial circle dominating the lobby, where all who work in that building must daily pass.
Rita Dove's poems were each etched into the backs of ceremonial marble chairs arranged in a circle dominating the lobby of the Sacramento Federal Courthouse, in this site-specific sculptural installation by Larry Kirkland, commemorating the US justice system. Each poem imagines an juror's individual inner monologue. The result is a powerful work of art that prompts us to consider how the individual and society exist and progress in tension with each other.

Workplace injuries not only cause physical pain but can also take a significant toll on mental health. The emotional aftermath of an injury can be overwhelming, often leaving individuals grappling with various challenges.
People should address both the physical and emotional aspects of recovery.
Uncertainty and anxiety
One issue individuals face after a workplace injury is uncertainty surrounding their future. The sudden shift from a routine, physically demanding job to potentially prolonged periods of rest can cause anxiety. Concerns about job security, financial stability, and the ability to resume regular activities can contribute to heightened stress levels.
Workplace injuries often lead to a sense of isolation, both physically and socially. Being away from friends and the work environment can result in feelings of detachment. The lack of daily interactions with coworkers may amplify feelings of loneliness and contribute to a sense of being out of the loop.
For many, a sense of identity is closely tied to their profession. A workplace injury can disrupt this connection, leading to an identity crisis. Struggling to fulfill the role they once had at work, individuals may find it challenging to redefine themselves outside of their job.
Loss of control
The loss of physical capabilities and independence following a workplace injury can lead to a serious loss of control. Individuals may feel helpless in the face of their injuries, fostering a sense of powerlessness and despair about life in general.
Some may even suffer from depression during these feelings of despair. 14.8 million American adults struggled with a major depressive episode in just 2020 alone.
Societal beliefs around workplace injuries can contribute to a sense of stigma. Some individuals may internalize negative ideas about their worth, feeling a diminished sense of value due to their inability to perform like before. Overcoming these negative perceptions is important for mental health recovery.
Mental healing is often more complex than what people first assume. By recognizing and addressing these challenges, individuals can pave the way for a more sustainable recovery journey. Also, if your physical work injury has lead to a mental injury in the form of stress, anxiety, depression, post-traumatic stress disorder, etc., you may have a claim for what is known in Wisconsin worker’s compensation parlance as a physical-mental injury which is every bit as compensable as a physical injury alone. Be sure to seek mental health care immediately and consult an experienced Wisconsin worker’s compensation lawyer for guidance and advice.

A telegraph is a communications system in which information is transmitted over a wire through a series of electrical current pulses, usually in the form of Morse code. The basic components include a source of direct current, a length of wire or cable, and a current-indicating device such as a relay, buzzer, or light bulb. The term comes from the Greek words “tele,” meaning “at a distance” and “graphien,” meaning “to write.”
By submitting your personal information, you agree that TechTarget and its partners may contact you regarding relevant content, products and special offers.
The telegraph has been in use for more than 150 years. The prototype of the telegraph was demonstrated by Joseph Henry in 1830. He transmitted an electric current over a length of wire approximately 1 mile (1.6 kilometer) in length to activate a bell on the opposite end of the circuit. This device was refined and developed by Samuel F. B. Morse into a system that used a solenoid, equipped with a marker, to record multiple pulses of varying duration on a moving strip of paper. These pulses appeared as so-called dots and dashes. Patterns of these dots and dashes were assigned to letters of the alphabet, single-digit numerals, and punctuation marks. On May 1, 1844, the first official telegraph message was sent.
The telegraph was, arguably, one of the two most important technological advances that contributed to U.S. settlement of North America west of the Mississippi River. (The other was the railroad.) The telegraph is still occasionally used for communication, but the Internet and the telephone are employed far more often. A variant of the original Morse code is used by amateur radio operators today, largely for recreation, but occasionally in emergencies when all other modes of communication fail as a result of infrastructure damage or because of poor wave propagation conditions. The amateur radio operator reads the code by listening to audio tones from a radio receiver. The human ear, working in conjunction with the brain, is one of the most sensitive known data interpreters, and the Morse code, because it is binary, remains among the most efficient, albeit slow, data transmission methods.
Western Union, a U.S.-based financial and communications service company, was founded in the 1850s to take advantage of the then new technology. Since then, Western Union conveyed telegrams all over the world. However, as the Internet and e-mail have become increasingly prevalent around the globe, the telegram has been less frequently used and considered more and more anachronistic. In January 2006, Western Union announced — on the Internet — that it would no longer be sending telegrams.

September 21st, 2023
Are you tired of hearing the term “empowerment” thrown around in the wellness and personal development space? It might seem like just another buzzword, but let me assure you, for empathetic women on their journey to break free from Supposed to Culture, empowerment is much more than a cliché. It’s a life-altering shift that can lead to a deeper understanding of self, greater confidence, and a true sense of purpose.
As empathetic individuals, you are naturally attuned to the emotions of others. You have a unique ability to sense the needs and feelings of those around you, often putting others’ needs before your own. While this is a beautiful gift, it can also lead to challenges, especially when it comes to setting boundaries and prioritizing your own well-being.
Empowerment is about reclaiming your personal power, tapping into your authentic self, and standing confidently in your truth. It’s not about being domineering or seeking control over others; it’s about finding your voice, setting healthy boundaries, and embracing your individuality.
Here’s why empowerment is a crucial aspect of your journey as an empathetic woman:
- Breaking Free from Supposed to Culture: Supposed to Culture bombards us with societal expectations and pressures to conform. As empathetic women, you might have felt the weight of these expectations even more intensely. Empowerment allows you to break free from these limiting beliefs and create your own path based on your values and desires.
- Embracing Self-Discovery: Empowerment opens the door to self-discovery. It encourages you to explore your passions, interests, and dreams without the fear of judgment. As you dive into this journey of self-discovery, you’ll uncover your unique gifts and strengths, which are perfectly suited to your zone of genius.
- Building Resilience: Empowerment equips you with the resilience needed to face life’s challenges and setbacks. When you feel empowered, you know you have the strength to overcome obstacles and thrive despite difficult circumstances.
- Nurturing Emotional Well-Being: As empathetic women, you often absorb the emotions of others, which can be emotionally draining. Empowerment teaches you to nurture your own emotional well-being and recognize that it’s okay to prioritize self-care.
- Cultivating Authentic Connections: When you embrace empowerment, you attract authentic connections with others who support and uplift you. You’ll surround yourself with like-minded individuals who celebrate your uniqueness and encourage you to shine brightly.
- Stepping into Your Purpose: Empowerment empowers you to step into your purpose and align your actions with your values. You’ll find a sense of fulfillment as you engage in meaningful endeavors that bring you joy and contribute positively to the world.
Embracing empowerment as an empathetic woman is a transformative process that requires self-compassion, courage, and vulnerability. It’s about embracing your authentic self, acknowledging your worthiness, and choosing to live life on your own terms.
So, if you’re on the journey to break up with Supposed to Culture and are seeking a deeper connection with your inner strength and wisdom, empowerment is the guiding light that will lead you to a life filled with purpose, joy, and fulfillment. Remember, it’s not just a cliché; it’s the key to unlocking your true potential as an empowered empathetic woman.
