Natural fabric placemats
Natural fabric placemats like cotton, are profoundly durable and can be efficiently washed with the machine. They give stain resistant finish and can be decorated with ruffles or lace. They give a luxurious feel and are wrinkle-free. Some fabrics like linen may be less resistant to stains, and you will have to pay some extra attention while cleaning them.
Synthetic placemats are more affordable and are wrinkle and stain safe. They are profoundly robust and are easy to wash. They can be washed multiple times without compromising its quality. The only problem with synthetic placemats is that they are not heat resistant.
Silk is a naturally creamy texture that adds appeal to your dining table. It is ideal for formal lounge areas and gives a luxurious look.
It is somewhat costly and delicate, and it gets stains and wrinkles rapidly. Silk placemats are great just for occasional usage.
Vinyl placemat is tough and simple to clean with sodden clothes. It is warmer and stain resistant and protects sharp edges. It is, therefore, the most appropriate for little children. Its plastic finish regularly gives it a shoddy look. It likewise gets dull and stained over continued usage.
Apart from the material used for placemats, one ought to also search for better designs, size, and shading. Be it a little child, or a grown-up, the benefits of a placemat is for everybody, making it an everyday household item.

Researchers from the Bellvitge Biomedical Research Institute (IDIBELL) and the Institute of Biomedical Research August Pi i Sunyer (IDIBAPS) participated in a study published recently in the by the journal Investigative Dermatology, entitled “AURORA A overexpression (AURKA) is driven by FOXM1 and MAPK / ERK activation in melanoma cells harbouring BRAF or NRAS mutations: Impact on melanoma prognosis and therapy. ”
The authors describe how the overexpression of AURKA (Aurora kinase A, a protein involved in cell cycle control) is associated with a worse prognosis in patients with cutaneous melanoma. The expression of this protein depends on factors such as FOXM1 transcription factor and of ERK-MAPK activation signaling pathways, often due to the presence of BRAF or NRAS mutations. However, pharmacological inhibition or silencing AURKA FOXM1 and affects the proliferation and survival of melanoma cells, even those resistant to BRAF inhibitors. The excellent results in pre-clinical studies suggest that the use of inhibitors and AURKA FOXM1 can benefit melanoma patients resistant to therapy anti-BRAF and / or NRAS mutations carriers so far about treatments orphans .
Several researchers linked to IDIBEL participated in this study: Drs JR Marcoval J Ferreres and the Department of Dermatology at the University Hospital of Bellvitge; Drs MA Pujana, JM Piulats, L Palomero and F Mateo from ICO-IDIBELL and E.

About five million infants will die worldwide in 2021 – plus more than two million children, adolescents and young adults. The UN attributes most deaths to poor access to good health care. However, there are also positive trends.
Many young people still die from treatable diseases or injuries because they lack good medical care, according to the United Nations (UN). According to a new estimate, the UN reported about five million children under five died worldwide in 2021.
7.7 million deaths per year
Bacterial infection is the second leading cause of death
Another 2.1 million children, adolescents, and young adults died between the ages of 5 and 24. Together, this equates to one end worldwide every 4.4 seconds. In addition, there were 1.9 million stillbirths.
“Access to quality health care remains a matter of life and death for children worldwide,” the UN said. At the same time, there has been progressing between 2000 and 2021, according to the report, with the under-five mortality rate falling by 50 percent, the rate for older children up to age 24 falling by 36 percent and the number of stillbirths falling by 35 percent.
Life expectancy in Germany is increasing more slowly.
Nevertheless, if mothers had been better cared for during pregnancy and childbirth and young people had had access to good health care, most of the deaths could have been avoided, the UN children’s agency UNICEF said. Additional investment in primary health care for all women and children is needed.
It said that children in South Asia and sub-Saharan Africa are particularly at risk. “It is deeply unfair that a child’s chances of survival can be determined solely by where he or she is born and that there are such great inequalities in access to life-saving health services,” said Anshu Banerjee, director of the department of maternal, newborn, child and adolescent health at the World Health Organization (WHO).

According to numerous reports, Communist China has opened several “overseas police service stations” throughout the world to “monitor its citizens” living outside of the country, including one station located in the United States and Canada.
“These operations eschew official bilateral police and judicial cooperation and violate the international rule of law, and may violate the territorial integrity in third countries involved in setting up a parallel policing mechanism using illegal methods,” human rights watchdog Safeguard Defenders stated in a blog post earlier this month.
“As these operations continue to develop, and new mechanisms are set up, it is evident that countries governed by the standards set by universal human rights and the rule of law urgently need to investigate these practices to identify the (local) actors at work, mitigate the risks and effectively protect the growing number of those targeted,” the report concludes.
The Chinese law enforcement stations are said to assist Chinese authorities in “carrying out policing operations on foreign soil,” with most of them being located across Europe in London, Amsterdam, Prague, Budapest, Athens, Paris, Madrid and Frankfurt, reports say.
— New York Post (@nypost) September 30, 2022
The eastern hemisphere is home to four of the Chinese police stations, with three locations in Toronto and one in New York City.
In total there are 54 communist Chinese police stations spanning across 34 different countries, which are used to “spread Chinese government propaganda and monitor the behavior and opinions of Chinese nationals.”
The Chinese government maintains that the police stations “provide vital services to its citizens living abroad.” However, some reports have argued that the police stations have been used to “enhance China’s overseas law enforcement capabilities in possible violation of international law.”

NEW DELHI: Bal Sansad or the Children's own Parliament is the call of the day. This forum under the intense guidance and supervision of the ministry of Human Resource Development is planned to be established in all the CBSE affiliated schools in the country. The state government run schools would also be requested to have such Bal Sansads in their respective schools, though with the help from the Centre.
The motive behind having Bal Sansads in schools is to rear the habit in children to go beyond their course books and syllabus, to imbibe knowledge in them and to help them in being future ready. The ministry is working on the project in terms of deciding on the methodologies to be adopted and the regulations to be followed in implementing the Sansads.
The ministry has sought help from Jharkhand, the state that has already implemented the programme in many of its schools. Rashtriya Jharkhand SevaSansthan and many local NGOs guide the sansads in the schools here. The ministry after fine tuning the best practices provided by the schools would frame its own set of regulations for the Balsansads. It has further decided to give prize money amounting to Rupees One lakh to the best BalSansad in a state.
The Bal Sansad would work on the guidelines of the Lok Sabha with a cabinet led by the PM and a dynamic opposition. The sansad would take up the problems in the school and outside pertaining to cleanliness, gender, education and environment and with the help and the inputs given by the teachers and the principal would try to decide on the best way to resolve the issue. It would also be involved in spreading awareness with respect to gender parity and education.
It would also be actively involved in the cultural and social activities in the school. Sports and other such competitions in the school would also have their say in it. The sansad would meet once a month to discuss issues of social concern and school specific concerns. The sansad would be dissolved every year and a new one formed so that most of the students get the chance of being involved with it.
This gives them a change to get involved in matters of national interests.

Measure the clearance of the outer ring of INA Bearing when the roller is sagging. First, ensure the bearing’s upright attitude, rotate the outer ring left and right for 1 / 2-1 turn, and any roller of the two rows of rollers is in the lower position respectively. Use a feeler gauge to measure the clearance. The measured position is somewhat different according to the outer diameter of ina bearing outer ring.
Measurement of bearing clearance with outer diameter of outer ring Tight Sleeve greater than 200mm
Insert the feeler gauge between the two rows of rollers directly above the INA Bearing and the outer ring and between the two rows of rollers and the inner ring at the left and right Tight Sleeve symmetrical position relative to the bearing center, and measure the internal clearance of each bearing.
The internal clearance r of the bearing is measured between the two rows of rollers directly below the bearing and the outer ring. The internal clearance of the bearing is set as RS1 ` RS2 respectively, and the internal Tight Sleeve clearance directly above the bearing is set as rs
Set the bearing internal clearance measured between the two rows of rollers and the outer ring at the left and right symmetrical positions Tight Sleeve relative to the bearing center and the clearance measured between the two rows of rollers on the left and the outer ring as RL1 ` RL2 respectively, and
Set the measured clearance between the two rows of rollers on the right Tight Sleeve side and the outer ring as R1 ` RR2 respectively, and the internal clearance of the bearing on the right side as RR
Calculate the internal clearance of Tight Sleeve the bearing with the following formula.
Precision improvement method of fag bearing
After fag bearing is installed in the main engine, if the radial runout of fag bearing spindle is measured, it can be found that the measured value of Tight Sleeve each revolution has a certain change;
During continuous measurement, it can be found that this change will Tight Sleeve approximately repeat after a certain number of revolutions. The index to measure the degree of change is the cyclic rotation accuracy.
The number of revolutions required for the approximate repetition of the change represents the “quasi period” of the cyclic rotation accuracy. The large magnitude change in the quasi period is the poor cyclic rotation accuracy.
If the fag bearing spindle is properly preloaded and the speed is gradually increased to close to the working speed, so as to implement the “running in” function of the bearing, the cyclic rotation accuracy of the spindle can be improved.

We swim so others may live!
In our lifetime, 1 in 2 men and 1 in 3 women will be diagnosed with cancer. We joined the Swim Across America (SAA) community so that, together, we can change that. Through research funded by SAA we are saving lives, but we still need to find a way to prevent cancer from even beginning. We are challenging ourselves by swimming in the Chicago Open Water Swim and raising as much money to fight cancer as we can. Please support us by making a donation to one or more members of our team. Better still, join Team Life and swim with us. In April we lost Bill, one of our Catfish swimmers, to pancreatic cancer. Four years ago we lost Amos, a fellow SAA swimmer and Catfish, to cancer. The money you give will go towards cancer research, prevention and treatment. Together we are making waves in the fight against cancer. Thank you for your generosity and may it lead to a cancer-free world!

Dormant means sleeping. Yes, dormant volcanoes often erupt.
Yes, they can. Scientists label volcanoes as “dormant” because it is unlikely they will erupt due to a lack of fresh lava. However, many volcanoes that were considered dormant have actually erupted after hundreds of years of inactivity, such as Mt. Pinatubo in the Philippines. It was considered dormant until it erupted in 1991.
Yes. Scientists generally classify volcanoes into three categories: active, dormant, and extinct. An active volcano has had an eruption recently, and is likely to erupt again. Dormant volcanoes are considered “sleeping volcanoes”; they are currently inactive but could potentially erupt again. An extinct volcano is very unlikely to erupt in the future.
Another one of these dormant volcanoes that has erupted recently was in Iceland of last year. This particular vocano was located near the Eyjafjallajoekull (whew) glacier, and spurted lava hundreds of metres into the air. What is even more amazing is that this volcano was dormant for about 200 years!
They can and often do. Mount St. Helens, for instance, was considered dormant until its infamous 1980 eruption. Volcanoes are generally classified into three categories – active, dormant, and extinct. Active volcanoes, as the name suggests, erupt periodically (some vulcanologists classify a volcano as active if it’s erupted in the last 10,000 years). Dormant volcanoes haven’t erupted in some time, but are considered capable of erupting again. If “some time” sounds vague, it is – the border between “active” and “dormant” volcanoes is debated. The Mauna Kea volcano in Hawaii, for example, is considered dormant, though it hasn’t erupted in over 4,000 years.

The makeup was created by celebrity makeup artist Beau Nelson (follow him on Twitter @Beau_Nelson) with products by Covergirl. For me, a very different look from what I am used to wear. Light eye make-up with just a little mascara combined with bright red lips.
Hair was done by celebrity hairstylist Sarah Potempa (follow her on Twitter @sarahpotempa) who also invented the amazing Beachwaver, an innovative curling iron that rotates in both directions to give you glamorous red carpet waves with the touch of a button. I truly hope that this product will be sold in Europe soon. For my US-readers, click here to shop.
A huge thank you to the lovely Polyvore team for letting me be part of this amazing experience. By the way, don’t you think that Polyvore‘s co-founder Pasha Sadri looks like Marc Jacobs?!

Fall Out Boy
As you ready for a feast this Thanksgiving, some of music’s most notable stars will be gearing up for some big performances. Put the turkey in the oven and take a spot on the couch for these performances and specials.
Taylor Swift and Fall Out Boy lead this year’s pack of performers at the 2013 Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show, which airs Dec. 10 at 10 p.m. ET on CBS.
Carrie Underwood, Fall Out Boy, Florida Georgia Line Among This Year’s Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade Performers
Carrie Underwood, Joan Jett, Fall Out Boy, Gavin DeGraw, Florida Georgia Line, Kellie Pickler, and Cher Lloyd are among the musicians who have been invited to play the 87th annual Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade.
New Releases: Paul McCartney, Pearl Jam, The Dismemberment Plan, The Avett Brothers, Cults and Four Tet
The Dismemberment Plan return from a 12-year hiatus with the best album of the week. Fall Out Boy make a hardcore album with Ryan Adams, and Macca is back-a.
“I think Patrick’s melodies, maybe, lend themselves to country naturally,” Wentz recently suggested to Radio.com regarding the genre’s current fascination with his band, though admittedly he had not noticed.
“I think we’re taking each day as we go at this point,” Wentz said. “We’re still in the takeoff period — we’re still ascending. We maybe just got to turn on our electronic devices, as far as rock ‘n’ roll goes.”
‘Pax Am Days ‘will be the title of the group’s sixth studio effort, with the album’s title a reference to rocker Ryan Adams’ Pax Am Studio in Los Angeles, where the eight-track release was recorded.
“I heard ‘My Songs Know What You Did In The Dark’ and we had already written ‘Stars’ and so I just imagined that kind of energy in that song and what would happen,” he said.
The latest clip in a series picks up where the video for “Alone Together” left off, finding the band violently assaulted by a group of BMX bike-riding kids wielding a host of weapons, ranging from baseball bats to knives.
The drummer explains how Xanax and Vicodin came to become part of his daily life, and how deeply he fell into addiction before he was able to finally enter treatment.
Already boasting musical heavyweights Fall Out Boy, Blink-182, Public Enemy and recently reunited alt-rock legends the Replacements, Chicago’s Riot Fest (scheduled for September 13-15) has announced a slew of additions to the line-up.
In the fourth of eleven episodes, Fall Out Boy takes their fans deeper into their twisted horror series, each set to a track from their latest album, “Save Rock and Roll.”
Radio Feedback: Fall Out Boy On The First Time They Heard ‘My Songs Know What You Did In The Dark’ On The Airwaves
Hearing the band’s new music on the radio is a very different experience than it was when the band first started for frontman Patrick Stump.
The crooner’s latest album, “To Be Loved,” has hit No. 1 on the Billboard 200 this week, selling 195,000 copies in its first week, according to Nielsen SoundScan.
Justin Timberlake, Paramore and now Fall Out Boy at the top of the charts? Are we sure it’s 2013?


Sister Wives Fans Wonder If Video Reveals Robyn Brown’s Pregnancy
Sister Wives rumors started ages ago, that Robyn Brown might be pregnant. In fact, Kody mentioned on the TLC show that he and his official wife considered making more babies.
Actually, a lot of fans think he only has eyes for her partly because she might still be able to bear children in his quest for heavenly rewards. Now, a new video emerged that has many fans thinking that the rumors might be right.
Sister Wives Fans Wondered About A Surrogate For Robyn Brown
One thing that fans noticed in Season 16, is that Robyn still takes the crown when it comes to crying fake rivers of tears. But they also noticed that she seemed way more critical of the other wives. As you probably know, a lot of fans claim that most of the problems behind all of the drama come from her. However, Paedon claimed that all she did was highlight the issues.
Sister Wives fans know that the Brown family has a nanny and in the last season, they saw that she was the first one to take covid into Robyn’s home. Well, that prompted some speculation that she might actually be a surrogate mom for Robyn. If that’s the case, then it doesn’t explain how Robyn might actually be pregnant in June 2022. In any case, fans love to speculate, and now they really think a video confirmed her pregnancy.
Sister Wives Video Shows Robyn is Pregnant?
As the only wife who seems to enjoy any intimacy with Kody, it’s natural that fans wonder if she will produce any more children. So far, Kody and his fourth wife produced Ariella and Solomon. And, he would probably want plenty more because of his faith.
A video that surfaced on Reddit also found its way to YouTube. In it, Robyn wore a top that looked tent-like as they danced.
Sister Wives fans who noticed it concluded that it definitely made her look pregnant. Of course, she might have also just put on some weight. That often happens as women age, after all. Additionally, fans slammed Kody for his hair and his style of dance.
TLC Fans Comment On Pregnancy Possibility
In the comments on Youtube, several Sister Wives fans commented that they thought that Robyn “looks pregnant.” When one fan asked, “Could she be pregnant again???,” another fan replied. They said, “you never know how that dark haired spirit baby situation may be the reason.”
Meanwhile, another fan admitted that the top looked tent-like, saying, “that tent, I mean top looks awfully large.”
What are your thoughts? Sound off in the comments below.
Be sure to catch up on everything happening with the TLC cast right now. Come back here often for more Sister Wives spoilers, news, and updates.


Clutches are essential parts of vehicles and if they fail, you can be left stuck. Clutch usually connects many rotating shafts. Furthermore, they control the shaft movements by connecting the shafts moving to the engine and the shafts swaying and turning the vehicle wheels.
Cars usually have more than one clutch and they are helpful in machines that have two rotating shifts so that they can be combined and spin at the same rate, or they can be separated and revolve at a different pace. Clutch slipping means that your clutch is integrating and disintegrating continuously; hence power is not supplied to the wheels and the car starts to move slowly and eventually, it stops.
Signs of a clutch slipping include a pungent burning smell and at a time, you can see smoke. Clutch slipping can be caused by the breaking of clutch cables and pressure plates. Moreover, a clutch can also slip due to the oil covering the disk, extreme heat temperatures and damaged disks.
Symptoms of clutch slipping
You can quickly identify the clutch slipping symptoms even if you are not a mechanic. The clutch slipping can make your vehicle undergo serious problems. The symptoms include;
1. The clutch pedal is becoming more rigid than usual
The clutch pedal becoming stiffer makes your car have difficulties in moving fast. Your car will finally stop moving forward and you will be required to press the clutch pedal, then release it at the required time.
2. Your car is accelerating irregularly
When driving through a steep hill in high gear, the clutch disk loses friction for some seconds, causing the engine to start accelerating irregularly.
3. A pungent burning smell
After the clutch parts become scorch due to the sliding and stroking over each other, a pungent burning smell will be released. This will help you know that the clutch has started slipping.
4. Your engine is revving more than usual
Changing gears can make the engine start accelerating more than usual because the flywheel is not integrating the clutch disk properly.
5. The abrupt increase of engine power
A sudden increase in your car engine power can make your clutch start slipping if the clutch plate and the flywheel are not correctly connected.
6. The squeaking sound produced when driving
When you apply pressure while driving, some sounds may be produced and once you hear such kinds of sounds, it is a clear sign that your clutch is slipping.
How long a clutch lasts after starting slipping
Immediately your clutch starts slipping, it will continue getting poor every second and it will reach a point where it will stop working. The clutch usually lasts for around 60,000 to 80,000 miles; that is, it has not been slipping during its lifespan.
If your clutch has been slipping all its lifespan, the lasting may be halved and if you treat it well, it can last for longer miles. When you continue driving with a slipping clutch, it can cause severe damages to your gearbox and the clutch, which will deeply cost you during repairs.
You may need to replace the clutch at around 30,000 miles, even though other clutches can continue slipping up to 100,000 miles. Moreover, if you spend more time navigating on car ways, your clutch can last for a more extended period.
When you drive your car under a lot of pressure, the clutch is involved and the pressure plate will start bolting to the flywheel imposing more constant force on the friction plate using a diaphragm spring. The pressure is then passed on to the gearbox and the friction linings allow your drive to be smooth, engaging the clutch.
Once the clutch has been disconnected, clamping pressure is released instantly. After your clutches start wearing out, your car will start slipping slowly until the car no longer moves. You will need to perform some crucial things to make your clutch last longer.
For instance, don’t ride on the clutch that is not fully pressed or fully released; don’t start driving before connecting the gearbox and release the gear fully. In addition to that, make sure you service your car regularly because the maintenance will keep your gearbox working for a more extended period.
How to fix a slipping clutch
Once you experience a car slipping clutch, you can try to troubleshoot it to reach your destination. When fixing the slipping clutch, first identify the cause of the clutch. If a clutch is badly damaged, you will be required to replace it.
Therefore, it is essential to have car parts in your car in case of any emergencies. If you are unable to carry out the replacement, contact a mechanic or technician if possible.
Step 1: Unscrew the clutch
Open the clutch using a screwdriver and disintegrate it from the flywheel. Carry out a replacement for your clutch. Replacing a clutch is the most common way of fixing the slipping clutch.
Step 2: Carry out thorough checking of your flywheel
Check the flywheel to see if it needs any replacements or resurfacing. If you notice that your flywheel has come in contact with oil or grease, heat production and even the flywheel has worn out more, replacement is the only way to stop the clutch from slipping.
Step 3: Check on the pilot bushing
Replacing your pilot bushing can stop clutch slipping, especially when you are out of miles range and need to reach your destination.
Step 4: Check if the car components are tightened correctly
Oil leakages to the car parts can make the car parts such as the gearbox loosen. The loosening of some car parts causes the clutch to disintegrate and start slipping, slowing down the speed of car movement and eventually, the parts fully disconnect, making the car stop.
Clutch slipping is a common problem that is caused by many reasons. This article has helped you understand what clutch slipping means and the symptoms of clutch slipping. Luckily enough, after reading this, you now understand how long the clutch slipping will last and how long it will take you to reach your destination.
If your clutch fails, you can now troubleshoot it by following the steps above and if not possible; you will have to contact the mechanic.

Society today is more conscious than ever before about the environment, carbon footprints, and sustainable food. This is one reason why sustainable agriculture jobs are quickly gaining traction and contributing to a healthier planet.
8 Sustainable Agriculture Jobs
If you are looking for fulfilling work in sustainable food production, horticulture, or agriculture, there are many rewarding careers to pursue.
1. Organic Farming Specialist
Specialists in organic farming help farmers cultivate crops without using synthetic fertilizers or pesticides, instead using natural methods such as composting, rotating crops, and taking advantage of beneficial insects to maintain healthy soil and avoid pest problems.
Organic farming specialists are key members of the sustainable farming movement that help give consumers access to organic, nutrient-rich fruits and vegetables that are produced in an earth-friendly way. They can aid farmers in increasing the value of their land, reducing their dependence on fertilizer and outside companies, and learning to create resilient, healthy farms.
2. Greenhouse Manager
Horticulture is another field wide open to sustainable opportunities. Greenhouse managers oversee daily operations and ensure that plants are grown in controlled environments using sustainable practices, for example, pest management, water conservation, and efficient cooling and heating. Managers may also oversee the selection of fertilizers, growing mediums, and the disposal of plant waste.
3. Greenhouse Technician
A Greenhouse Technician is responsible for monitoring and maintaining optimal growing conditions in a greenhouse environment. They control factors like irrigation, temperature, humidity, and light to optimize plant growth and health. This role is key in sustainable farming because the techniques they use often minimize waste, conserve water and energy, and promote healthy soil ecosystems, thereby reducing a negative impact on the environment. Additionally, they may conduct research and experiments to develop improved and efficient farming methods, contributing to sustainable agriculture advancements.
An agroecologist designs and implements agricultural processes that mimic nature to get the farm operation in harmony with the environment. They promote biodiversity and the resilience of crops and the ecosystem. Agroecologists work on soil health, and water conservation and apply other ecology principles to the farm.
They use the latest technology and information to create more resilient food-production systems. Agroecologists focus on mitigating climate chains by recycling resources and reducing emissions. They also work on the impact wildlife has on the farm, specifically in terms of pollination and pest control.
5. Permaculture Designer
Permaculture design seeks to create a farm environment that is self-sustaining, biodiverse, and efficient. It emphasizes creating agricultural systems that are as resilient and stable as natural ecosystems and focuses on patterns, interconnection, and natural cycles.
Designers may use methods such as rainwater harvesting, companion planting, and natural building to create an entire farming operation that is in harmony with its specific location. Permaculture designers may also focus on mitigating waste production, improving energy storage, companion planting, and planning guilds.
6. Aquaponic Technician
Aquaponics are unique among sustainable agriculture jobs. It’s the combination of aquaculture and hydroponics. Aquaculture involves raising fish, and hydroponics are growing plants in water. The combined systems use the natural fertilizer created by fish waste to grow plants, which in turn purify the water for the fish. It’s an innovative approach that helps reduce the amount of water needed to produce certain crops and fish and avoids synthetic chemicals or fertilizers.
An aquaponics technician oversees ensuring that the system is working correctly and troubleshooting issues. They may purchase supplies, repair and maintain structures, and ensure the health of both plants and fish. Generally, these technicians must have a wide range of skills, such as HVAC or maintenance experience and knowledge of aquaculture or hydroponics.
7. Soil Conservationist
This job is essential to farms all over the world. Without soil, most farms would be unable to produce anything. Soil conservationists teach farmers how to prevent erosion and better the soil by implementing methods such as contour plowing, cover cropping, conservation tillage, and other techniques that keep soil in place and healthy.
Many soil conservationists work for the government, private consulting firms, landowners, or non-profit organizations.
8. Quality Assurance Technician - Food Safety Auditor
Quality Assurance Technicians - Food Safety Auditors are important to sustainable food production operations. They ensure that ag companies' production methods meet quality and safety standards while also staying sustainable. They help create ethical food systems that combine sustainability, quality, and safety.
Why You Might Like a Job in Sustainable Agriculture
There are many diverse and fulfilling job options available in the sustainable agriculture industry. Each position is vital and helps lead farmers, farms, and the planet toward a brighter, greener future. They help create environments where nature and farming are in harmony

The blocks for my newest pattern, Nature Sweet, are finally ready! I should be stitching them together tomorrow. The fabrics are so cute! Butterflies, bugs, and blossoms in this fun collection called Perch by Dear Stella.
The pinwheels were easily made using the Strip Tube Ruler, which has become my most favorite method of making HSTs. I just have to look up at the table to find out the width of the strips I need to sew together as a tube, then place ruler on the stitching line and cut, press, trim ears. Two straight stitching lines on the strip set is all it takes.
The photos I took while assembling the blocks will be featured in the instructions to make the pattern easy to follow and the blocks fast to put together.
I am thinking that these blocks would also look great using ombre’ fabrics. I will save that idea for when I make this quilt again. The pattern will likely be available as PDF for download next week on Etsy store (Quilterly).
Progress despite two days with migraines. Yeah!


Our 360w power supply is validated with the Dell ATI Radeon 4850. You do not need to upgrade the power supply. It doesn't matter what the Ati website says. Your using a Dell video card, not the retail video card.
Social Media Support#IWork4DellDell Support VideosDrivers and DownloadsDriver order
Does that mean that I wasted money buying a 500w Antec PSU to go with my aftermarket 1GB 9600GT :(
Yes, you did.
And there's really no difference between a retail card and what Dell supplies with the system. What matters is the max output of the PSU and the capabilities of the PSU's 12V rail(s). ATI and Nvidia always have high power requirements for their video cards.
A good rule for Dell systems and running high-end video cards is to go by what power connections are available by the PSU in a particular model. The 435MT has one 6pin power connector, and can run any video card that requires one (or no) 6pin power connector. This would include the HD4850, 9800GT, or even a GTS 250. However, a card like the HD4870, HD4890, GTX 260 or GTX 275, requires two 6pin power connectors, so these cards would run well in an XPS 630, XPS 730, or XPS 730x, and also a Precision T3400 when ordered with the optional 525W power supply.
And there's really no difference between a retail card and what Dell supplies with the system.* FYI - We do re-flash the video card bios to bring the GPU and VRAM clocks to our specifications. Just like EVGA would have different settings than MSI.
Is there a Dell-supplied upgrade for the power supply on the 435 MT?
Also, what is the 435MT's power supply's 12V rail capacity?
I've been checking out high-end video cards. Some of them will say, for example, that they need 26A on the 12V rail.
Is that saying they need it on ONE rail, or the TOTAL of the 12V rails?
Is there a Dell-supplied upgrade for the power supply on the 435 MT?* Nope.
Also, what is the 435MT's power supply's 12V rail capacity?* An existing user will have to look at the power supply label and tell us.
LIke I said above, any video card which requires only one (or no) 6pin power connector will work just fine in the 435MT. If the video card requires two 6pin (or one 6pin and one 8pin) power connectors, it will not. I know this rule isn't technically oriented in regards to amperage on 12V rails, but it still works.
I had a Radeon 4850 card from my previous system (which is now sadly deceased) that I swapped into the 435MT. My card had one 6-pin connection, which I easily plugged in to the power supply, and it works nicely now.
Wouldn't a 500W or more PSU be able to better cope with external power surges and internet power demands?* Sure, but then the price point of the computer would have to go up.
And please answer this, can the warranty be used to order Dell to get me a better power supply?* Nope.
Like refunding the PSU and I will buy the better PSU with the extra?* Nope.
Contact Support and have the power supply replaced.
anyone successfully changeout the psu and stuff a high-end card (ati or nv)? if so, can you please post specifics? (i REALLY do not want to swap out to another case like i read another member did ~ nor do i want to invest in another mobo and swap everything over.)
/rethinks this purchase
435MT (Stock) i7 920 • 6GB DDR3 1066Mhz Tri-Channel
• 640GB • 1TB WD Home 1394 • ATI Radeon HD 3450 256MB
I replaced the psu with a BFG 550Watt psu
I replaced the video card with a Nvidia 8800GTX
Problem: The holders for the power cables have to be bent down to accommodate a larger psu.
Problem: The long cables on an aftermarket PSU crowd the case
Problem: The PCI-E slot os so low in the case, the heat builds up to dangerous levels
Problem: The southbridge is cooled by the vacuum effect of the rear fan. If the side is removed to
cool the video card, it gets amazingly hot. Dangerously hot.
Problem: The slot below the card has connectors for the USB, etc. You can't fit a slot cooler.
Summary: The case is designed for a range of low powered cards, and is unsuitable for anything
with performance. The heat builds to levels that can damage the GPU.
Sounds like a lot of trouble to put an 8800 GTX card in the 435MT. I replaced an HD3450 with a 1GB GTS 250 without replacing the PSU and everything fits just fine.
You need at least a 475 watt psu for that card + i7. It's only a matter of time before your psu goes boom.
So an HD 4770 should work without a hitch on dells stock 360W psu? It would seem so since it uses less power than a 4850 while maintaining near identical performance. Seems quite large though, the Sapphire HD 4770 look like it would fit just fine in the case :) So for anyone upgrading from that boggy HD 3650 go with a HD 4770!
That seems logical. The 4770 isn't too much different from the 4850
anyway in performance. However, according to Chris, it seems that
GTS250 1GB is the highest you can go. Really, 360W is more than enough
to handle these graphics cards anyway. There's an article out there
that actually investigates how much power your PC really needs I forget
what it was...
Anyway it's not worth upgrading that PSU for now.
The default 4850 can handle a lot. I've been using it, and even at
1920x1080, it handles games and everyday computing great. You should probably only change the PSU when making a large upgrade to a 4890, GTX 285, or maybe even to those DX11 cards coming out in a few weeks (7 weeks supposedly ). I've had this 4850 since the Studio XPS was released and it's great.
Hi, I've posted and the answer to my query was to either upgrade my psu to somethng higher than the 360W installed and/or install a better heatsink/fan on the 4850.
Here's my problem, I've recently started playing Crysis in high res mode (AA not turned on) and although I hear the fan whirl up to cool it down, my screen freezes and I need to push the power button to reboot/recover. The freeze happens sporadically, sometimes I get to play over an hour sometimes shorter. If the PSU is not the problem then does this mean that I have defective parts for video/ram or somewhere else?
My configuration, 435MT, i7 920, ATI 4850 w/512mb, 6 gb ddr 3, cd/dvd burner, internal cd/dvd burner combo with blu ray/HD player (added after unit was received)

The island of Bali in the south Pacific is considered to be one of the best places to relax in the world. While sitting on the beach and working on your tan can be a great way to spend the day, more active travelers are going to want to get out and explore at some point. Fortunately, Bali is also home to many snorkeling spots with plenty of aquatic life for you to see.
One of the more popular spots for snorkeling in Bali is the area around Padang Bai. Located on the southeastern coast of the island, Padang Bai offers easy access to a number of great snorkeling spots. Take a boat over to Nusa Penida for a chance to see coral and manta rays. Many of the locations around Nusa Penida are a bit deeper, making them popular with scuba divers. Those who want to stay around Padang Bai have plenty of other options. The Blue Lagoon has calm waters and is home to cuttlefish, eels and much more. Bias Tugal and Jepun are other nearby coves with some good snorkeling opportunities.
For a truly unique snorkeling experience, head to Tulamben. The waters surrounding this town are famous as the site of the United States Army Transport Liberty shipwreck. There are many shipwrecks all around the world, but they typically require scuba diving gear to really explore. The Liberty is located in very shallow water, allowing snorkelers to get in on the fun as well. What's more, this area features a black sand bottom along with plenty of marine life, such as stingrays.
While these spots are great, they can become crowded with tourists from time to time due to their popularity and close proximity to the major towns. For those who want a more secluded snorkeling adventure, head out to Menjangen Island. This small isle is just off the northwestern coast of Bali, approximately a 30-minute boat ride from Labuan Lalang or Pemuteran.
Although uninhabited, this island is approved for travelers because it is actually part of Bali Barat National Park. This protected marine park contains more than 100 unique species of coral, so bring your underwater camera to get some truly magnificent shots. You'll also find angel fish, lion fish, surgeon fish, eels and the occasional turtle or two. If you want to snorkel in clear water without too many others around, Menjangen Island is your best bet.
With crystal clear waters, tons of coral and a wide variety of marine life, your Bali cruise is the ultimate chance to go snorkeling and create some great memories.

In March, C4 Atlanta wrapped up a 6 month long pilot of our newest educational program, Hatch. This program is designed to help educate artists in the “soft” skills needed to perform art within a community context.
Recently, we at C4 Atlanta have heard of awesome new projects being created by our pilot Hatch cohort. As we are able, we would like to feature their stories of work within community.
Charmaine Minniefield is a visual artist in Atlanta who’s work centers around the African and African American ritual from a feminist perspective. She has also been an arts administrator in and around Atlanta nearly 20 years. Charmaine recently completed a mural project, in conjuction with a team of local artists, in Old Fourth Ward after the end of Hatch. Here is the story of her project, in her own words:
Painting for the Moment: Visual artist Charmaine Minniefield reflects on diversity and equity with her recent public art project in the King Historic District
I was recently granted the honor of being invited to paint a mural in the King Historic District for the Not A Crime campaign. This social justice campaign uses street art in cities around the world to bring attention to modern day Apartheid. The campaign recently made its debut here in Atlanta with the intention of making a direct connection to the Civil Rights history of the American south by inviting three Atlanta artists to create murals on a single building on Edgewood Avenue. I was one of those artists.
The invitation came from fellow artist, Joe “King ATL” Dreher. Joe’s tagname speaks to his creative mission to uplift and reflect his hope for Atlanta. He sees our city through eyes of admiration and appreciation. His work, which is inspired by everyday folks walking the streets, has an element of hopefulness for our city and for our time. It was a great honor to have been invited by Joe King ATL to be a part of this project.
To sweeten the moment even more, Fabian Williams joined us as the third artist. Ok, see, I am a BIG fan of both Fabian’s artwork -which offers critical social commentary in the form of “contraptions” as of late- and his community work in the field to enable the artists of this city with his famous Art Battle events and other creative projects throughout the years. So, as you can see, participating with these two incredible artists, for this important cause, in the King Historic District, all meant so much to me.
When planning, the question of subject gave me pause. From my days as a producer with the National Black Arts Festival when we launched a Next Generation series and focused on the artist as activist; to my work with Hands On Atlanta and the King Center as the producer of King Holiday activities throughout the District for over 10 years; to more recently my own role in such social justice movements as Black Lives Matter and now the Not A Crime campaign, I knew that this was a chance to make my mark on the city as an artist activist.
The moment was right to counsel with my elders. I reached out and invited Civil Rights photographer, Dr. Doris Derby -an elder, mentor, and shero- to select the image. Her iconic work in the 1960s captured the importance of women in the Civil Rights Movement. Given my own artistic focus on the power of women throughout history, the King District mural gave me the chance to realize my dream to collaborate with Dr. Derby.
Now the players were in place and the city was my stage.
I need to be clear about the state of the stage. The city had recently undergone a full overhaul of public art policies in response to the outcry of a community that felt disenfranchised by well-meaning artists and arts organizations. Our mural was in fact the first to go through the newly required rigorous process of community approval. Commissioned by the Baha’i Community Center, a longstanding faith and Civil Rights institution in the District, we were pleased that we were approved.
We began the work. I painted alongside Joe and Fabian for most hours of every day for a week to finish the murals. It was pretty cool as we weighed in and even painted on each other’s walls working together as collaborators. What was most amazing for me was painting in the King Historic District as an African-American artist, painting from a Civil Rights image taken by an elder and Civil Rights activist icon. I was intentional about these elements, given the recent changes in the District.
Once known as the hub of the African-American intelligentsia, the hotbed of the Civil Rights Movement and home to the birthplace, church, and final resting place of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., the District was now known for its party scene and amazing public art, but also predatory investors with scrupulous practices of gentrification. I was in the middle of the area’s controversial efforts of urban renewal at, what some would argue, the cost of some of the most precious elements of African-American history and identity: civil rights, business and entrepreneurship, political participation, and land ownership.
NOW, I can’t say by any means that I have not enjoyed a dance step or two in the O4W. I too have enjoyed Beltline springtime walks and the prospect of a thriving economic district versus a dying one. But there is something alarming about the changes that I see in our city that are in some cases at the hands of the arts, that I could not ignore when given the opportunity to represent in the District with this mural.
My work, my presence, my choice of a Civil Rights image, wedged between two iconic images all within a stone’s throw from Historic Ebenezer Baptist Church, commissioned by a community whose founding members built the original edifice so that folks of all races could pray together – I knew my work needed to speak to the moment.
So I painted an image of everyday folk in Mound Bayou, MS (an all Black town) who took matters into their own hands to ensure their education in a Jim Crow south. I hoped to invoke their bravery and wisdom. I hoped their gazes would extend beyond the wall into our changing city, onto the landscape of development, welcoming newcomers with a reminder of struggles and victories passed, warning them of the importance of inclusion, remembrance, and respect as they celebrate hope and embrace a new diversity, breaking antiquated barriers of race, class, and gender divides, much like the Civil Rights and faith leaders before.
You see, I took this moment to return to the King Historic District not as a producer, but as an artist activist -to stand present as an African-American woman pushing back against the wave of erasure and development by remembering our history and paying respect to our ancestors by preserving, celebrating, and reclaiming their space and their stories.
I am grateful to the campaign for doing the good work of making sure the content of these murals gave an opportunity for equity to Atlanta artists whose works can ignite discussion and engage the community -past and present- in which the murals reside. I am thankful that the faces of the artists resemble the community and a hope for a united future, and that each image can encourage education and enlightenment, critical discussion, and endurance for those who reside in the King Historic District and beyond at a moment when we are reminded that not only Black Lives Matter, but Black Land Matters as well.

- Documenting your injuries in a confidential area of your medical record with limited access.
- Collecting forensic evidence from your neck, if you were strangled within the past 24 hours and have not showered.
- Providing you with safety resources.
Here are some things to know about what to expect through the DOVE program:


In the past year, more than 150 Web3 firms have set up operations in Hong Kong’s Cyberport, a digital hub set up by the country’s government to promote innovation, Financial Secretary Paul Chan Mo-po said in a statement.
The influx came after the Hong Kong government invested $7 million (50 million yuan) to help Cyberport speed up the development of Web3 with blockchain as the supporting technology, Chan Mo-po said.
Chan Mo-po detailed the Hong Kong government’s investments in the sector, and said that Cyberport has been allocated around $64 million (HK$500) in funding for the “Digital Transformation Support Pilot Programme,” an initiative aimed at helping small and medium-sized businesses to implement digital solutions.
Cyberport, which is managed by the wholly-owned government subsidiary of the Hong Kong SAR administration, hosts a total of 1,900 enterprises, the statement said.
Hong Kong introduced its own crypto legislation allowing retail investors to invest directly in crypto assets last year and presented itself as keenly pro-crypto.
Since then, the country has continued to support the industry. In January, as the crypto industry was reeling from the FTX crisis, the Financial Secretary said that local government and regulators are looking forward to building a crypto and fintech ecosystem in 2023.
On Jan. 13, Korean tech giant Samsung announced the launch of a Bitcoin Futures Active ETF, or exchange-traded fund, on the Stock Exchange of Hong Kong.
In mid-February, sources claimed that some Chinese officials were reportedly giving tacit approval to Hong Kong’s pro-crypto efforts. Local business operators stated that the Chinese government might even be open to using Hong Kong as a test bed for crypto as long as it doesn’t threaten the country’s financial stability.
By March, more than 80 crypto firms had expressed interest in opening an office in Hong Kong.
