title: Salvation

text:
“The LORD will guide you continually, giving you water when you are dry and restoring your strength. You will be like a well-watered garden, like an ever-flowing spring.” – Isaiah 58:11.
Florida is commonly characterized by periods of both rain and sunshine. Sometimes the rain makes a quick entrance and exit, while at other times it lasts for hours. Sometimes it doesn’t rain for several days. When that happens, the lush green spaces, including lawns and gardens, will begin to turn brown and show signs of wilting due to a lack of water, and lakes, ponds, and even canals will have noticeably lower water levels. It is a welcome sight when it begins to rain.
Just as all living things need water, so our spiritual life must be nourished with the water of life. Fortunately, God provides that water. Experienced gardeners know the adequate amount of water to supply each plant within their care. They won’t allow their plants to dry out, but will have a well-watered garden.
A “well-watered garden” is when His people are consistently nourished by God’s grace, guidance, and love. This imagery, drawn from scriptures like Isaiah 58:11, reminds us that just as a garden thrives with consistent watering, so too can our lives blossom when we actively seek God’s presence and allow His word to penetrate our hearts.
A well-watered garden is not just about survival; it’s about abundant growth and beauty. The imagery of a spring whose waters never fail assures that God’s love and grace are constant and reliable.
Have you ever thought of your life as a garden? Probably not, but if you did, you would want to be a well-watered one. But it doesn’t matter how green your thumb is for this life; we can never be well-watered apart from the Lord. We need the Lord to supply us with living water. Only then can we become a spring of life.
A well-watered life doesn’t happen overnight. It starts with planting a small seed. It takes time for the seed to grow, become deeply rooted, and produce fruit. Following Jesus is a lifelong journey, not something to be marked off a checklist.
To thrive and survive, plants require every season—spring, summer, autumn, and winter. Each season has a purpose in the grand scheme, and without the other seasons, we wouldn’t be able to appreciate the growth that comes in springtime. The same is true for our spiritual lives. If we want to grow and flourish in our walk with Christ, we have to walk through seasons of heat, rain, loss, and dormancy. Spring calls us to wake up, but winter reminds us to slow down. Summer calls us to work hard, but autumn reminds us to enjoy the harvest.
Through every season of life, we can live the well-watered life because of the Cross.
- What does “well-watered life” mean to you, personally?
- How do you currently “water” your life (e.g., through relationships, hobbies, faith)?
- What are some common “droughts” or challenges that hinder your ability to feel well-watered?

“Helpful and Trustworthy Attorney”
I was really sad that I even had to hire an attorney to deal with parts of my family when my dad died but he really helped me get through the process and was SO knowledgeable on everything that was going on.
They were caring and kind all the way through the process. I highly recommend them to anyone entitled to claim leftover funds from foreclosure or who need to probate an estate for a loved one. Here is a picture of myself and my lovely sister, Karen!
He told me the amount I would receive at the beginning of the process. He also told me that I would never have to step inside of a court room, which I didn’t want to due to the complex challenges of probate court. Ryan and his team worked very hard for me.
Keith and his team were fantastic. We had heard horror stories of the probate process but our experience was fast and flawless with Keith. The loss of our loved one was very unexpected and the estate was complicated. Considering the circumstances I can honestly say it couldn’t have gone any better. I have already recommended Keith to others and will continue to.
When someone passes away, their estate needs to be taken care of so that their personal assets and debts are resolved. A Maverick County probate attorney can help immensely in this process. Texas probate starts when the estate is opened. The assets and debts are part of the estate. People who leave behind a Will typically appoint an executor of their estate. This is an individual who is entrusted with overseeing the administration of all of the matters related to the estate.
Probate law can become very complicated, particularly if there is no Will or if it is contested. A Maverick County probate attorney can work with families and others directly involved with the estate to make the process easier during this time of grieving.
The responsibilities of these lawyers include the following: notifying creditors of the death of the estate holder and that the estate process has begun; representing the estate and/or beneficiaries at all court proceedings; file court documents; appraise and categorize all the assets in the estate; provide death certificate and other related documents to the court; and create any necessary documents and mail them to the necessary recipients. Some families struggle with their emotions during this process, and an attorney can act as a mediator so that all parties have their questions answered and legal issues concluded quickly and successfully.
A Maverick County probate attorney can also help Texas residents in estate planning and other inheritance law issues, setting up guardianships and conservatorships, drawing up Wills, and transferring property.
If you need help with a probate issue, Your Texas Probate Attorneys, Attorneys at Law, can help. Our Maverick County probate attorneys have a history of success in defending clients’ rights in the probate process. Call today at (346) 384-8768 in Houston and (817) 532-6797 in Fort Worth for a consultation.
Our firm provides services to clients throughout Maverick County including the city of Eagle Pass.
Have you lost a loved one and need to settle his or her estate? Do you need the estate administered correctly? Are you concerned that someone may be taking advantage of your relative’s death? Are you concerned about ensuring that the wishes of the deceased are honored?
If the answer to any of these questions is yes, our Texas law firm can help. We can assist you with questions related to inheritance law, will contests, guardianships, property rights, will forms, conservatorships, codicils, intestacy, and more. When you need a probate lawyer in Texas, call Your Texas Probate Attorneys.

title: Energy from solar panels at night

text:
Seems unrealistic, right? After all, it is one of the biggest drawbacks of solar energy. But thanks to science & engineering, it is well within your reach. At night the lack of sunlight cannot generate electricity – a disadvantage for solar energy. However, what if they worked at night? That’s no joke, according to researcher Sid Assawaworrarit and his colleagues.
In a major breakthrough, researchers have designed a unique night solar panel (NSP) that can produce electricity under ideal conditions at night. In short, a clear night means infrared light from the surface of solar panels can freely radiate out into space which further generates electricity.
The device Assaworrarit and his colleagues created is basically a work of flow of energy. Basically, it is an ordinary solar panel outfitted with a thermoelectric generator. It helps to generate a small amount of electricity from the slight difference in temperature between the ambient air and the surface of a solar panel pointed deep into space.
At night, solar panels turn the table and emit photons
The new technology takes advantage of a surprising fact about solar panels. The process is similar to the way a normal solar cell works, but in reverse. An object that is hot compared to its surroundings will radiate heat as infrared light. A conventional solar cell is cool compared to the sun, so it absorbs light. Space is really, really cold, so if you have a warm object and point it at the sky, it will radiate heat toward it.
“There’s actually light going out [from the solar panel], and we use that to generate electricity at night. The photons going out into the night sky actually cool down the solar cell,” Assawaworrarit says.
Solar-cell-illustration by Tristan Deppe & Jeremy Munday
As those photons leave the skyward surface of the solar panel, they carry heat with them. That means that on a clear night — when there are no clouds to reflect infrared light back toward the Earth — the surface of a solar panel will be a few degrees cooler than the air around it. That temperature differential is what Assawaworrarit and his colleagues are taking advantage of. A device called a thermoelectric generator can capture some of the heat flowing from the warmer air to the cooler solar panel and convert it into electricity.
On a clear night, the device Assawaworrarit tested on the Stanford rooftop generates roughly fifty milliwatts for every square meter of solar panel (50 mW/m2).
“I think that’s probably a record number,” he says. But Assawaworrarit and his team aren’t stopping there. He says that with a couple of improvements (and in a good location) such a device could generate twice that amount of electricity.
Another good use for the technology is powering the immense network of environmental sensors researchers use to keep tabs on everything from weather conditions to invasive species in far-flung corners of the globe. Again, solar panels that generate a small amount of electricity at night could reduce the need for batteries — and the maintenance and replacement costs they incur.
Modern scientists are hardly the first people to notice that a surface pointed toward the cloudless night sky can become colder than the air around it. The phenomenon is called radiative cooling, and you’ve probably seen it yourself first thing in the morning.
What does this mean to you?
Well, firstly you will consume more electricity in the future. As you buy more appliances, your energy consumption will increase. What’s worse is that you will need to pay more as scarcity of resources means electricity will only get costlier.
On the other hand, developing such technology poses several engineering challenges. Understanding the physics behind these nighttime solar panels is only part of the battle. Engineers have been working for years to make them efficient enough to be worthwhile for use in the real world.
Solar energy is a good option for sustainability. Solar power is a non-exhaustible resource and helps reduce the carbon footprint of individuals. And it is here to stay for a very long time. Hence choosing solar panels is your best choice against hefty electricity bills. Book a call with Staten to answer your solar-related question. Dial +1 (408) 780-2889 or fill a short form here.

Osgood-Schlatter disease is a common knee problem seen in growing adolescents.
What is Osgood Schlatter Disease?
Osgood-Schlatter disease refers to a condition in older children and teenagers caused by excessive stress to the patellar tendon (located below the kneecap). Participants in sports such as soccer, gymnastics, basketball, and distance running are at higher risk for this disease.
The causes of Osgood-Schlatter disease include:
Outdoor sports activities involving a lot of running and jumping exerts stress on the thigh muscles, which in turn pulls the patellar tendon that connects the kneecap to the tibia. Repeated stress can cause the tendon to shift away from the tibia, causing pain and swelling of the affected knee. In some cases, the body may try to close the gap with new bone growth which results in a bony lump in that region.
The main symptoms of Osgood-Schlatter disease include:
- Knee pain
- Tenderness below the kneecap area
Diagnosis of Osgood-Schlatter disease includes a review of your symptoms and medical history. A physical examination will be performed by your doctor to check the affected knee for pain, swelling, and inflammation. X-ray or MRI scanning may be ordered to view the bones of the knee and examine the tendon and tibia more closely.
The goal of treatment is to reduce pain and swelling. The treatment includes the use of anti-inflammatory medications and physical therapy. Physical therapy may include strengthening exercises for the thigh muscles to help stabilize the knee joint. Most Osgood-Schlatter symptoms disappear after the adolescent growth spurt has ended.

Ladies, Let’s Go Fishing University
Ladies fishing tournaments are plentiful and popular and bring everyone into the excitement of tournament fishing. But a Ladies, Let’s Go Fishing University is a bit different.
They provide a unique opportunity for female anglers to team up with professional fishing experts for dedicated fishing instruction. Ladies can experience one-on-one access to award-winning fishing captains in the prime fishing grounds around Florida.
From Betty Bauman, the event founder: “The main events start out with a Friday evening social so we can recognize the sponsors, and the ladies get a chance to meet the others. Saturday mornings are the sit-down classes, which are very heavily laden with conservation because the best time to learn conservation is when an angler is new and impressionable. And then we serve lunch. After lunch we have hands-on fishing techniques, for instance, I show stand up fighting techniques.
We have tables for knot tying, lure usage, lure rigging, other fishing skills, sometimes we have how to handle the dock lines; they’re all a little bit different. And then we have spin-casting, net-casting, fly-casting, boat-handling trailer, backing, and landing, we have them gaff grapefruits. On Sunday we have the optional charter fishing, we give them choices, sometimes it’s the choice of a drift boat, a sport fishing boat or an inshore boat depending on the area that they’re in—different parts of the states have a different kind of fishing.”
Tavernier on Key Largo is the site October 19-21 where more than seven hours of inshore and off‑shore instruction on bait, equipment, technique, timing, and species knowledge will be held on Saturday with all day fishing fun on Sunday. Sign up early because past attendees typically return year after year to relive the fun and excitement.

title: New convenience shop granted booze licence in fernhurst 596865

text:
Chichester District Council has granted a licence to a new convenience store in Fernhurst to sell alcohol from 6am to 10pm.
The premises licence for One Stop – formerly Edes Newsagent – of Midhurst Road, was granted during a meeting of the alcohol & entertainment licensing sub-committee on Monday, February 13.
The meeting was called after the council received 13 objections to the application, including ten from the public and the rest from Fernhurst Parish Council, Fernhurst Working Men’s Club and Sussex Police.
Edes Newsagent closed in the summer of 2021 and the One Stop shop opened its doors on February 17.
Among the concerns raised by members of the public was the possibility the new shop could include a post office, which would clash with the one just round the corner in Crossfield.
But the meeting was told the applicant had no intention of opening a post office in the shop.
Another concern involved the sale of alcohol to youngsters.
Speaking on behalf of the applicant, licensing consultant Nick Semper said it had been agreed with Sussex Police that the shop would operate a Challenge 25 policy, meaning anyone attempting to buy alcohol who looked like they were under 25 would be asked for photo ID to prove their age.
Mr Semper added: “We have no intention whatsoever of selling alcohol irresponsibly or to anyone under age.”
Other conditions agreed between the police and One Shop included the installation of CCTV both inside and outside the premises, with the date/time-stamped recordings to be kept for a minimum of 31 days.
One Stop will also give ‘full and immediate cooperation and technical assistance’ to the police if the footage is ever needed for the prevention and detection of crime.
In addition, all alcohol will be sold in sealed containers, while spirits will be stored and displayed behind the counter and out of the reach of the public.
Granting the licence, committee chairman Henry Potter advised it could be ‘subject to review at any time’ if there were any problems in the future.

You can do this by using the installation CD that came with the adapter or by downloading the latest drivers from the manufacturer’s website. Once the drivers are installed, you will be able to configure the Wi-Fi settings and connect to your desired network.
Are there any specific drivers needed for the wireless USB adapter?
Yes, most wireless USB adapters require specific drivers to function correctly, as they enable the operating system to communicate with the hardware. Manufacturers usually provide the appropriate drivers on a CD included with the device or on their official website. It is essential to use the correct drivers to ensure optimal performance and compatibility with Windows 10.
Before installing the drivers, it’s crucial to check whether your Windows 10 operating system is up to date. Sometimes, Windows updates may include generic drivers that can support the device initially. However, for full functionality and to benefit from any new features, it’s recommended to install the latest drivers provided by the manufacturer.
How can I troubleshoot connection issues with my wireless USB adapter?
If you encounter issues connecting to a wireless network using your USB adapter, first examine the basic settings. Ensure that the adapter is securely connected to the USB port and that your computer recognizes it. You can check the “Device Manager” in Windows to confirm if the adapter is listed without errors. If there is an issue, you may need to update the driver or re-install it.
Additionally, check your network settings and ensure that Wi-Fi is enabled on your computer. Restarting your computer and the router can also resolve temporary connection issues. If problems persist, you might want to verify that your wireless network is functioning correctly by trying to connect another device. This will help you determine whether the issue lies with the adapter or the network itself.
Can I use multiple wireless USB adapters on one computer?
Yes, it’s generally possible to use multiple wireless USB adapters on the same computer. This can be helpful if you want to connect to different networks simultaneously or if one adapter is not functioning well. Windows 10 is capable of managing multiple connections, making it easy to switch between different adapters as needed.
When using multiple adapters, it’s advisable to prioritize the connections by setting the preferred adapter in the network settings. Additionally, ensure that the drivers for both adapters are installed correctly to avoid any conflicts or performance issues. Keep in mind that using more than one adapter could sometimes lead to connectivity inconsistencies, so monitor the performance of the connections.
Is a wireless USB adapter better than a built-in Wi-Fi card?
The choice between a wireless USB adapter and a built-in Wi-Fi card depends on various factors, including your specific needs and the performance of each option. Built-in Wi-Fi cards often provide a more seamless experience, as they are integrated into the device, reducing the likelihood of disconnection and improving overall stability. They also typically save USB ports for other uses.
On the other hand, a wireless USB adapter can be a better choice for users with older devices that lack Wi-Fi capabilities or for those who need to upgrade their wireless performance. Some high-quality USB adapters may offer better speed and range than a standard built-in card. Ultimately, the decision should be based on performance requirements, device compatibility, and usability preferences.
How do I secure my wireless connection with a USB adapter?
Securing your wireless connection is essential to prevent unauthorized access and protect your personal information. Start by ensuring that your Wi-Fi network is secured with WPA3 encryption, if available, or at least WPA2. You can set this up in your router’s settings. Avoid using WEP or unsecured connections, as they are vulnerable to attacks.
Additionally, create a strong password for your Wi-Fi network and change it periodically. Ensure that your wireless USB adapter’s drivers are updated regularly to protect against security vulnerabilities. Finally, consider using a firewall and an antivirus program for added security. This combination of strategies will help ensure that your connection remains safe and secure while you browse the internet.

Feel your best for the holidays with these 5 stretches
Note: The advice in this blog is not intended to replace the advice of your clinician. If you are unsure, please speak to your clinician before attempting any of the suggestions below.
The year flies by and before you know it, it’s autumn heading into winter. As we rake leaves, put away outdoor furniture, and start our holiday shopping, we might be left with sore and overworked muscles. Before you find yourself rubbing your neck and shoulders, consider booking a massage therapy session to help alleviate the built-up tension so you can prevent any possible pain or dysfunction with these changes in activity associated with the holidays.
Stress can take a toll on our bodies. Massage may help ease that stress and can be helpful with acute and chronic conditions ranging from anxiety to back pain and sports injuries. Massage promotes health and may help speed up recovery time if you’ve been injured - not to mention it can feel great. Massage can be helpful on it's own as a wellness strategy, but also as a complementary treatment to physiotherapy, acupuncture, and chiropractic care.
What can you do at home?
You don’t have to limit your treatment to an appointment with a massage therapist. There are many stretches and activities you can do at home, or the office, that may keep you feeling mobile and limit pain.
Here are some easy neck and shoulder stretches that you can do at home that may help prevent discomfort:
Holds for the following stretches are recommended for 30-60 seconds.
Hold on to the edge of your chair seat with one hand and bend your neck to the opposite side until you feel a gentle stretch. Repeat on the other side.
Gently bend your head forward to feel a nice stretch in the lower back part of your neck.
Hold on to the edge of your chair seat with one hand and tilt your head back to the opposite side until you feel a stretch. Repeat on the other side.
Pull your shoulders down toward the floor and then gently bend your neck back until you feel a stretch in the front of your neck area.
Hold your chair with your right hand. Turn your head slightly to the left. With your left hand, push the back of your head down (gently) and to the left. This should create a nice stretch on your right side in your shoulders.
Another great home care tip is to use a tennis ball to get those achy upper back and neck tender points. Simply place a tennis ball in the marked spots and apply pressure for 30 seconds. Follow that with heat for 20 minutes and you may feel relief.
If you're still looking for some more professional massage help, book a massage therapy session at a Lifemark clinic near you.

How to Generate Multiple Content Ideas from One Topic
Nov 28, 2022
2 min read
By Will Armstrong -
Armstrong Public Relations -
As a content creator, I am always looking for new ideas. And sometimes, it can be tough to come up with new content on a regular basis. That's why I'm excited to share this tip on how to get multiple content ideas from just one topic. By using this technique, you can generate a ton of new content ideas quickly and easily. Here's how it works...
Start with your topic and then consider the problem, the desire, and the solution. For example, let's say your chosen topic is "dog training." To get started, you would brainstorm 3 problems related to dog training, 3 desires related to dog training, and 3 solutions related to dog training. This could look something like this...
Problems: Dogs that pull on the leash, dogs that jump on people, dogs that bark excessively.
Desires: A well-behaved dog that walks calmly on a leash, a dog that is well-mannered around guests, a dog that is quiet when appropriate.
By brainstorming in this way, you can quickly generate a variety of different content ideas. For example, you could write an article on leash training tips for dogs that pull, an article on obedience training for dogs that jump, or a blog post on behavior modification techniques for excessive barking. You could also create videos or infographics on each of these topics. The sky is the limit!
To take things one step further, you can also categorize your content ideas into different types. For example, you could have long-form content (such as an eBook or course), short-form content (such as an article or blog post), or free-form content (such as a video or infographic). By doing this, you can ensure that you are creating a variety of different types of content to appeal to different audiences. And by categorizing your content ideas in this way, it will be much easier to plan and organize your ideas into a cohesive strategy.
If you're struggling to come up with new content ideas on a regular basis, try using this tip to generate multiple ideas from just one topic. By brainstorming the problem, desire, and solution related to your chosen topic, you can quickly come up with a variety of different content ideas. And by categorizing your ideas into different types of content (long-form, short-form, and free-form), you can ensure that you are creating a variety of different types of content to appeal to different audiences. Give it a try and see how many great ideas you can come up with!

Dale Head released his latest album, Swing on the Rocks (MindWinder Records) on July 13, 2018, and expands the Great American Songbook with 14 classic rock songs re-imagined in an innovative big band format. Swing on the Rocks explores “soundscapes” in a nod back to the progressive rock of the 1970s.
Dale’s background is in rock music, dating back to Montrose, The Beach Boys, and Boston in the mid 1970s, as well as his own 1995 solo album MindWinder. Head follows up his 2015 release Swing Straight Up (a classic big band jazz album) with Swing On The Rocks‘ epic collection of songs, spanning the genre from “13 Women” (the A-side of Bill Haley’s 1954 hit “Rock Around The Clock”) to the 1997
Grammy®-winning song “Criminal” by Fiona Apple.
Each song on Swing on the Rocks is a unique take on a well-known rock classic from artists such as Van Halen, Rush, Van Morrison, and the Eagles. Enlisting phenomenal arranger Rick Walsh (who worked with iconic artists like Linda Ronstadt and Metallica in its legendary San Francisco Symphony performance), Dale uses his powerful and dynamic vocals to reinvigorate these rock classics.
On Swing on the Rocks, Dale is surrounded by an 18-piece big band style orchestra that features amazing guitar solos and the impressive stylings of Paul Shaffer (of the CBS Orchestra on Late Night with Dave Letterman) on the Hammond B3 organ throughout, creating a riveting roller coaster of a musical ride. Dale’s emotional trumpet and flugelhorn work also shines in this collection on “Into the Mystic” and “Murder By Numbers”. According to Steve Price, one of the founding members of Pablo Cruise, “this album is a wonderful blend of big band and rock, with just a hint of blues.”
“You’re insane, and I mean that in the best possible way. You’re going to blow their minds.” ~Paul Shaffer, bandleader, The World’s Most Dangerous Band
“This is a must listen if you truly love music. It’s not like anything you’ve heard anywhere. Dale brings his amazing talent to the table once again. As a lover of all music, this is one of my favorites.” ~Steve Price, founding member, Pablo Cruise
“Swing on the Rocks succeeds at expanding the Great American Songbook in a highly enjoyable and innovative manner.” ~Scott Yanow, jazz journalist

title: Judge in brazil stops whatsapp for 72 hours affecting millions

text:
Company says it does not have the information requested by authorities.
In an apparent attempt to force the company to turn user data over to authorities, a judge in Brazil has ordered mobile phone providers to block the popular messaging app, WhatsApp, for 72 hours, according to the LA Times.
The order, issues by Judge Marcel Montalvao, from the state of Sergipe, took effect on Monday afternoon. The judge did not provide a reason for issuing the order, but it is suspected it is in connection with an on-going drug-trafficking investigation in the country.
WhatsApp is owned by Facebook and is reportedly used by about half of the 200 million people living in Brazil. Earlier this year, the same judge ordered the arrest of Facebook’s vice president for Latin America, after the company refused to release customer data in the investigation.
This ruling marks the second time WhatsApp has been shut down in the country. In December of 2015, a 48-hour suspension of the service was ordered by a different court because the company would not comply with a request to release information. A higher court overturned the ban, which resulted in the service being shut down for approximately 13 hours in that case.
In as statement released by WhatsApp, the company said it was disappointed by the ruling and added they had cooperated with the courts to the extent of their abilities to do so. The statement added the decision punished more that 100 million Brazilians who use the service to communicate, run their businesses and more, and the court order is trying to force the company to release information it has said repeatedly it does not have.
Traditional text messaging in Brazil can be quite expensive for some, and many have come to rely on WhatsApp as a way to send messages, images and files.
The president of Brazil’s National Telecommunications Agency, Joao Rezende, told reporters the ban was “disproportionate,” because the ban was punishing the users of the service. Rezende added, “WhatsApp should comply with all legal orders as far as its technical capabilities allow. But obviously, the block is not the solution.”

title: Harvard gene hacked stem cells living organism

text:
For the first time, scientists gene-hacked an animal's stem cells — without removing them.
Normally, altering a stem cell with CRISPR requires extracting it, keeping it alive in a lab setting, and hoping that the edit takes after re-inserting it into the body. But now Harvard scientists have found a way to skip that process, according to research published in the journal Cell Reports. Their new technique alters the genomes of stem cells in a mouse's body — and spreads the edits throughout the creature's body as cells reproduce.
In the long run, the new technique could be used to gene-hack genetic conditions into nonexistence by editing them out of stem cells that then propagate throughout the body, replacing diseased cells as they go — a concrete step toward treating DNA as just one more type of code to hack and rewrite.
The gene-hacked DNA take hold in 60 percent of the skeletal muscle stem cells that the scientists had targeted, but also spread to stem cells in the mouse's skin and bone marrow.
Injecting A Cure
The Harvard scientists think they could hijack that process to someday erase genetic diseases from a body without needing to remove, cultivate, and re-inject healthy cells.
"When you take stem cells out of the body, you take them out of the very complex environment that nourishes and sustains them, and they kind of go into shock," lead scientist Amy Wagers told New Atlas. "Isolating cells changes them. Transplanting cells changes them. Making genetic changes without having to do that would preserve the regulatory interactions of the cells — that's what we wanted to do."

Our Quality Commitment
Natividad is dedicated to the people of Monterey County to provide the best possible care to each patient. Our team of dedicated physicians, nurses and staff are committed to delivering high quality and safe patient care.
Natividad is accredited by The Joint Commission (TJC) which is recognized world-wide as a symbol of quality which reflects our commitment to ensure that evidence-based quality and safety standards are followed. In addition, our Sam Karas Acute Rehabilitation Center is accredited by the Commission on Accreditation of Rehabilitation Facilities (CARF). Please visit our numerous quality designations and recognitions on the Awards page of this website that further demonstrate Natividad’s commitment to excellence in quality and safe patient care.
Quality and Patient Safety is a collaborative effort of leadership, physicians, nurses, employees, and our patients. Natividad fosters a culture of safety that focuses on patient and family centered care. At Natividad, our healthcare team takes great pride in the quality of care they deliver and we continuously strive to improve the care provided to our patients.
Natividad has multiple performance improvement projects and teams to review patient care practices and make changes that will result in better care. Examples of these include Daily Patient Care Huddles, Diabetes Education and Treatment, Antibiotic Stewardship, Medication Error Reduction, Sepsis Management, Infection Prevention, Care of the Critically Ill Child in the Emergency Department, Patient Flow, Readmission Reduction, Fall Prevention, Environmental Safety, and Hand Hygiene.
Natividad has partnered with multiple state and national organizations that provide support and guidance to help hospitals improve the safety of healthcare systems. Some of these include California Hospital Association, Institute of Healthcare Improvement (IHI), National Patient Safety Foundation (NPSF), California Health Care Safety Net Institute, Hospital Quality Institute, California Hospital Patient Safety Organization (CHPSO), and California Maternal Quality Care Collaborative (CMQCC).
One way hospitals measure quality and safety is through monitoring key performance metrics that can help improve patient outcomes. We believe that sharing our data on our website allows the public to see the excellent patient care we provide in comparison to state and national benchmarks.
Here are some Natividad quality indicators where LOWER rates are better.
Natividad has a lower Cesarean Section rate because we support natural childbirth.
Patients that have an elective vaginal delivery or elective cesarean birth at >= 37 and < 39 weeks of gestation completed.
Surgical Site Infection – Abdominal Hysterectomy
Surgical Site Infection after an abdominal hysterectomy is an unanticipated infection that occurs after a patient has a hysterectomy when the incision for the surgery is made through the abdomen. Natividad surgeons follow nationally recognized guidelines when performing surgical procedures to decrease the risk of infection.
Clostridium Difficile (C. Diff) infection causes severe diarrhea and can be spread through dirty hands and unsanitary environments. At Natividad we reduce C. Diff infections by performing good hand washing and high quality cleaning of medical equipment, patient rooms, and bathrooms.
Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA)
Staph bacteria are common in hospitals, but MRSA is a type of staph bacteria that is resistant to (cannot be killed by) many antibiotics. This graph reflects that Natividad is working to reduce MRSA infections in the blood. Natividad is doing good since we are below the state and national rate of MRSA blood stream infections.
Colon Surgery Infection is an unanticipated infection that occurs after a patient has colorectal surgery. Natividad surgeons follow nationally recognized guidelines when performing surgical procedures to decrease the risk of infection.
Here are some Natividad quality indicators where HIGHER rates are better.
Vaginal Birth After Cesarean Section (VBAC) is high at Natividad because we were the first hospital in Monterey County to offer this alternative to prevent repeat Cesarean Sections.

title: Lcv sales plummeted by almost 30 per cent in april but green deliveries continued to rise

text:
The fall seemed worse because last April’s figure of 30,440 was the highest total for the month since records began, but this year was still 12.2 per cent below the 24,604 of pre-pandemic April 2019.
Demand was strong across all segments, but supply chain pressures including semiconductor shortages hampered deliveries.
Newly registered large vans, which comprise more than two-thirds of the LCV market, totalled 16,212 units – down 19.1 per cent versus a year ago.
However, the segment’s market share rose by nine percentage points to 75.1 per cent, mainly because of more significant declines in registrations of medium-sized and small vans, said the SMMT, as components shortages restricted supply.
Sales of pick-ups, meanwhile, dropped by 44 per cent, while 4×4 registrations dropped by 77.8 per cent.
April’s new car sales slump by nearly 16 per cent as supply shortages see 2022 forecast downgraded
Registrations of electric vans increased by 52.7 per cent year on year to 919 units – representing one in 24 new vans joining the road.
The SMMT has revised its 2022 outlook for new van registrations downwards from 363,000 units to 328,000.
As a result, this year’s market is anticipated to fall by7.7 per cent on 2021, with BEVs expected to account for 6.3 per cent of registrations.
SMMT chief executive Mike Hawes said: ‘Despite the global supply pressures on the UK’s light commercial vehicle sector, manufacturers are prioritising the most popular models, while investing in electric options where demand is slowly but steadily growing.
‘Constrained supply, however, does mean that 2022’s new van market is expected to be down on last year’s bumper uptake.
‘Even so, while market conditions remain challenging for van operators across the UK, now is the time for those looking to renew their fleets to put their orders in, as interest rates remain historically low and an increasing range of fuel efficient and electrified models are now available.’
The Ford Transit Custom was the top seller for April at 3,357 units, followed by the Ford Transit (2,987) and Vauxhall Vivaro, pictured, at 1,468.

Where There's Smoke, There's Fire (or Drive All Blames Into One)
A near-sighted young eagle dove from a precipice toward the rocky waters below for a fish he thought he saw. He caught his right wing as he dived and broke it. He tumbled clumsily into the water but was able to painfully pull himself on to shore. He was unable to fly, in great pain and stumbled and rested about the shore at the bottom of the precipice.
A young yogin looking for a place to meditate heard of a cave called Kelly-Taco-Tom-Tap in the mountains surrounded by villages. He heard the villages were Buddhist and would be helpful and sympathetic with his interests. He moved into the cave and began to practice. The villagers heard of this and became curious, they went to Black Bear, the shaman and asked what he thought. They reported he seemed to be talented and genuinely interested. Black Bear, who never practiced much, was jealous and said, "This could not be true; he had seen his type before and knew him that type to be nothing but trouble." The villagers didn't pay too much attention, so that evening Black Bear went outside the village and started a fire of leaves and young sticks to create a lot of smoke. The smoke rose the height where the yogin was meditating. The next morning the villagers awokes and saw the smoke and became afraid. Black Bear walked among them, leaving the fire to burn. "I told you," he said. It's that yogin. That type is nothing but trouble…
The emails in this volume chronicle and document some of the story presented in the memoir. There are perhaps one hundred or so more, which may be added in later editions or a separate volume. The earlier emails demonstrate a far weaker, far less studied experienced relationship to the topics discussed in the book. Those in this volume are a good example of the later emails.
There is also a second project by the author with a similar set of email chronicles. This is TaxTheRichDotName email series and reflects the author’s involvement in recent political efforts to redress the current distribution of wealth in the country.

Wow, it seems we are skipping fall and diving head first into winter. We had the most rainfall EVER RECORDED in September, on Saturday, and more is on the way accompanied by wind gusts in the 30-50 mph range! We received 1.71 inches of rain in 24 hours, which nearly doubled the previous record of .83 inches. You can understand why I chose to stay in and bake pies!
I am reprinting the pie crust instructions from a few posts back, in case you missed them. I do use a different pastry recipe for a sweet pie, than I did for the savory pie. I quadrupled this pastry recipe, since I was making two pies. I have a 14 cup food processor and it was all it could handle.
For the Pie Crust
This recipe is for each, single crust. Double it for a two crust pie.
1 Cup All Purpose Flour ( I use Bob’s Red Mill Organic, Unbleached White Flour)
2 Tablespoons of organic sugar
4 ounces, one stick, organic, unsalted butter – diced into small dice and frozen 15 minutes
1/2-1/2 cup ice water
Have all your ingredients ready to go. (pic 1) Put the flour and 1/2 teaspoon salt and sugar in the bowl of a food processor fitted with the steel blade. Add the frozen diced butter to the bowl, and (pic 2) pulse until the butter is the size of peas. With the machine running, add the ice water a tablespoon at a time, and process until the dough becomes crumbly (pic 3). Don’t over process. (pic 4) Dump the dough out on a floured board, (pic 5) gather it loosely into a ball, wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 20 minutes.
While the dough chills, make your filling.
For two pies
8 large apples, peeled, cored and thinly sliced – any combination or one variety
2 Tablespoons of Minute Tapioca
1 Tablespoon lemon juice
1/2-3/4 cup sugar (depends on the sweetness of the apples and berries)
2 cups blackberries
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
Butter to “dot” the pie before covering with top crust
Gently combine the sliced apples, the berries (if you have some you need to use up, like I did) the spices, lemon juice and tapioca.
Butter the bottom and sides of your pie pans. Roll the chilled dough on a well-floured surface to desired thickness, and fit it into the bottom of the pan.
Roll the dough onto the pin, and then unroll it into the pie pan. Heat the over to 425′.
Add the filling to the pie shells, dividing the mixture equally between the two pies. Top each with 2 tablespoons of butter, cut in little pats.
Repeat the above instructions to roll out the top crusts. Pat the top crust down on the fruit. Trim the crust to fit the pan, leaving just enough to “crimp”.
With the tip of your knife, make 15-20 “vents” in the top crust. Make an egg wash by mixing one egg and 2 Tablespoons of water in a small dish. Brush the top of the pies with the egg wash and then sprinkle with sugar. (You can skip the egg wash and sugar, if you choose. I like the shiny, sparkly results.)
Place the pies on a baking sheet. Bake at 425′ for 15 minutes. Reduce heat to 350′ and bake another 45-60 minutes, or until crusts are nicely browned and mixture is bubbly. Cool completely before serving.

title: Advances in seismic imaging through basalts a case

text:
New seismic reflection data have been used to image intra- and sub-basalt features beneath the Faroe–Shetland Basin in the North Atlantic, where the highly reflective top and base boundaries of flood basalts and their complex internal structure make successful seismic imaging difficult. This study demonstrates that appropriate acquisition and processing of marine seismic data from hydrophone streamers and ocean-bottom seismometers (OBS) has the potential to enhance significantly imaging of intra-basalt and sub-basalt seismic reflections. The intersection of a new seismic reflection profile recorded in 2002 with a seismic profile recorded in 1998 allows a direct comparison of advances in sub-basalt imaging over this period and an interpretation of geological structures and seismic velocities at the intersection.
To achieve better resolution of sediments below basaltic layers, surface seismic reflection data using a broad-band, low-frequency source have been recorded. By using a source wavelet with a significantly enhanced frequency spectrum centred at 10 Hz, generated from a large (167 l) airgun array tuned to the first bubble pulse, a wavelet is produced that is capable of penetrating through thick basaltic sequences. Furthermore, recording the low-frequency reflections to large offsets along a 12 000 m long streamer with 3.125 m single sensor spacing allowed effective suppression of multiple reflections, enhanced the precision of velocity analyses and produced better migration results. Seismic data along the same profile were also recorded on a dense deployment of 85 four-component OBS at 2 km or 6 km station spacing. These complementary ocean-bottom data allowed the large-scale velocity variations within and beneath the basalt to be constrained by recording at large offsets the termination of the diving rays (c. 18 km) propagating through the basalt.
Integration of seismic reflection data and OBS recordings yields good seismic velocity estimates and, therefore, increased confidence in the interpretation of intra- and sub-basalt features and lithology. Four major stratigraphic units characterized by their seismic velocities and reflection characters were identified: (a) post-basalt sediments; (b) basalt sequence; (c) sub-basalt unit; and (d) the top of presumed Cretaceous basement. The top boundary of the basalt sequence is defined by a strong reflection with a steep velocity increase from 3.5 km s−1 to 4.5 km s−1 in the c. 200 m thick layer above it. The basalt sequence here is c. 2.5 km thick. Beneath the base of the basalt there is a velocity decrease from 5.8 km s−1 to 5.2 km s−1. The sub-basalt unit is subdivided further into hyaloclastites mixed with sediments and sills, and sub-basalt sediments separated by another velocity inversion from 5.2 km s−1 to 4.5 km s−1. The Cretaceous basement with velocities above 5.5 km s−1 lies underneath these sub-basalt sediments.

Steps of the online DB backup process
Online backup enables the database to be backed up during operation. As the database comprises a series of mutually dependent files, the Data Manager may not write any data to the database during backup.
If the Data Manager is already in emergency mode, backup is no longer possible.
Online backup comprises the following steps:
The destination of the backup and the archive in question are set via a data point (this is usually set in the service panels).
The Data Manager then ends the DataBG and closes the database. Data in the cache is written prior to this.
The Data Manager generates the input file for the backup program WCCOAtoolMedia from the backup settings and starts the program.
Messages are written to a buffer during backup. Exceptions in this case are queries relating to historical values and _archive configs, these are answered with an error message. Connects of the managers are only allowed if they do not require any configs. In this case, the connection to the manager is closed immediately.
The Data Manager monitors the size of the buffer, the virtual memory and the time during backup. If the size of the buffer or the available virtual memory exceeds a configurable value or if a defined timeout has been exceeded, backup is aborted early. This will prevent the Data Manager from landing in the emergency mode due to the backup (see Data manager emergency mode, basics).
When backup is completed, the Data Manager opens the database again, restarts the DataBG and writes the contents of the output file of WCCOAtoolMedia into data points.
The DataBG can no longer be started directly, that is, from the console or with the progs file.
No special measures are taken for re-backup as this either affects only completed file changes or the living database, that is, the current values, last values and configuration data. The project must be restarted to restore the latter. Completed file changes must be swapped in the usual manner.


title: Concussions chronic traumatic encephalopathy

text:
Concussions are typically considered “traumatic brain injuries” (TBI), and while most are mild in nature, even a single concussion can increase the risks, and potential complications, of more serious concussions in the future. Long-term complications of multiple concussions may include Alzheimer’s, early-onset dementia, Parkinson’s, and similar degenerative cognitive disorders, and one of the most concerning effects is one we still know little about: chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE).
This condition generally refers to “the degeneration of brain tissue caused by repeated head trauma,” and symptoms can be severe and may include:
- Cognitive/sensory difficulties
- Physical impairments
- Suicidal thoughts or behavior
For now, CTE can only be diagnosed by examining the brain in sections after death, which is why our knowledge of the condition is limited. However, a number of deaths (some of them suicides) of well-known professional athletes, particularly in hockey, football, and boxing, have shed more light on this condition and the very real dangers of sustaining multiple concussions in contact sports, especially as an increasing number of former NFL players are reportedly suffering from symptoms of CTE.
If you’ve suffered any kind of concussion or head trauma in an accident, seek a full medical evaluation as soon as possible to identify any obvious and underlying damages and obtain a proper diagnosis. This is even more important if you’ve suffered a second concussion before an initial concussion has fully healed, as this can lead to a fatal condition known as “second-impact syndrome” (SIS).

title: Report testoptional policies result in increased application numbers and student diversity at many business schools

text:
Test-optional admission policies have resulted in increased application numbers and student diversity at many business schools, according to a recent report by the MBA Roundtable and Wiley.
“Test-Optional Admission Policies and The Impact on Graduate Management Education,” surveyed and collected the input of 116 deans, directors, faculty, and staff at 107 graduate business schools – a mix of public schools and private, non-profit schools – in September and October 2022.
“Graduate business programs have eased requirements for cognitive-based standardized testing for admissions in recent years,” the report noted. “Most programs reporting do not require a standardized test score as a part of the admissions process for all incoming students. Only one in five (20%) fulltime MBA programs require test scores of all applicants, which is the greatest for all program types.”
Academic leaders surveyed included those from schools such as Arizona State University; Massachusetts Institute of Technology; Ball State University; Miami University; University of Texas at Austin; Michigan State University; University of Toronto; New York University; North Carolina State University; and Northeastern University.
"The roundtable [focuses] on graduate management business curriculum ... what's going on in MBA programs, specialized Master's credentials, and what innovations are taking place,” said Jeff Bieganek, executive director of the MBA Roundtable. “We'd been hearing that programs have been going test-optional in their admissions process, so we were curious to know what changes schools were seeing because of that decision, how it was impacting their curriculum, and what sort of things they may need from us and our partners like Wiley to help them be ready and provide the services and the curriculum that the students need."
The report indicated that 60% reported increased diversity in the racial/ethnic make-up of its incoming class, while 44% reported more gender diversity. Additionally, 43% reported increased diversity of academic background of its incoming class and 49% said there was more diversity in career backgrounds.
Due to test-optional policies, application volumes to business programs rose for most respondents, the study found.
Researchers also found that approximately 20% saw positive impact in certain job skills: leadership, social influence, creativity, originality, and initiative. However, for 20% of respondents, skills often measured on standardized exams – such as complex problem-solving – were negatively impacted by going test-optional.
And to note, the vast majority of respondents – approximately 70-80% – reported that test-optional policies have had no effect on job skills.
"I think it provides evidence and data to what we would've suspected, which is that the GMAT is not a particularly useful instrument for doing business school admissions,” said Harry Feder, executive director of FairTest, a national organization that focuses on issues related to fairness and accuracy in student test taking and scoring. “What was interesting to me is that, in some of the key skills one would want in someone in the business world, actually test-optional policies got the respondent business schools a better class, if you will, based on those very important metrics.”
On average, three annual admission cycles have gone by since programs went test-optional, according to the report. But “test-optional” can mean different things for different institutions, said Stacy Wriston, director of marketing and business development at Wiley.
"'Test-optional' looks very different depending on the schools themselves,” Wriston said. “It can mean you're able to apply to the school and be admitted perhaps without passing like a GMAT or GRE, but if you're looking for scholarships or financial aid ... grants, then that 'test-optional,' there's [exceptions] to some of that. 'Test-optional' is such a broad term."
Feder also said that standardized testing for business schools in particular may not make much sense.
“I think it's also a little ridiculous for business schools to use a standardized test when so many people who are applying to business schools have already been in the work world for a few years, so you have a base of experience, you certainly have an undergraduate record,” Feder said. “I think what these business school deans are finding is that the standardized instrument, the GMAT, basically adds nothing to their ability to get good candidates for the schools and to create a class of candidates that will be both successful in business -- and perhaps will be moral in business ," he said, adding that he believes that the GMAT "actually deters applicants from applying."


title: Pws salad dressing

text:
Pioneer Woman never lies. Never ever. I'd make anything she told me to, just because.
A few weeks ago she posted a recipe for a very simple salad dressing and I made it that day. And again 3 more times since! Honestly, you could drink this stuff (I'm pretty sure The Husband has been doing just that- how else can I explain how quickly this is leaving my refrigerator?!!!) The beauty of it is that it's made using stuff I always have so there is no extra trip to the grocery store to pick up any ingredients. I suggest you run, don't walk, to your kitchen right this minute to gather up everything you need to make this dressing. You won't be sorry.
Here is her recipe (with my alterations in parenthesis).
PW's Aunt Trish's Salad Dressing
3/4 cup olive oil or canola oil
juice of 2 lemons
4 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
1/4 teaspoon salt, plus more to taste (I liked more)
freshly ground black pepper (lots)
1/4 teaspoon sugar
dash of paprika (I used about 1/2 teaspoon)
dash of cayenne, if desired (oh I desired! yes I did!!!)
1 clove garlic, peeled (OK, I went way over with this and used 3-4 cloves)
Place all ingredients into a jar and shake. Store in the refrigerator at least 24 hours before serving (don't skip this step!).
I didn't have the heart to juice the lemons without first stealing it's zest... I think I'll make lemon blueberry scones this weekend. mmmmm.
If you have any dressing left, use it to make croutons! Trader Joe's sells the best sourdough cheese bread and I buy it every week just to make some croutons. I usually just use a melted butter/olive oil combo and some garlic salt, but the dressing was excellent!


title: Czech krumlov

text:
Young people studying in the Czech Republic have access to an extensive cultural program, all kinds of interesting activities and the study of extraordinary, world-famous attractions. It is not for nothing that the Czech Republic is called an open-air museum. The list of nature reserves and architectural sites in this beautiful and amazing country is truly impressive. And if we are talking about the latter, undoubtedly it is worth paying close attention to the absolutely incredible place of the South Bohemian region – the city of Cesky Krumlov.
Krumlov has a rich history. Having gone through many military conflicts, starting from the Middle Ages and ending with the dark period of World War II, the city is now fully restored and has the status of a famous tourist center.
There is really something to see in Cesky Krumlov. This place is recommended to visit especially for those who really love history. The streets of Krumlov have a very special atmosphere, and its historic center, with the town hall on the main square, is a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
The architecture of Krumlov is characteristic of the time when the peak of prosperity fell. Most of the buildings were rebuilt in the Gothic style, including the stunningly beautiful St. Vitus Church and the Krumlov Castle, a national monument of Czech culture. You can also see buildings in the Renaissance and Baroque styles. The latter is especially popular in the restoration work of this or that significant place.
Cesky Krumlov annually attracts thousands of tourists who want to take a break from the hustle and bustle of megacities and enjoy the peaceful silence, while receiving a real aesthetic pleasure. The city does not have its own airport, you can get there from Prague. Travel time is approximately 2 hours. Due to the fact that Krumlov is popular with tourists and vacationers, here you can find many guest houses and hotels for a comfortable stay.
Visiting Cesky Krumlov is possible both individually and as part of an excursion group and will give you a lot of unforgettable impressions!
