text:
Poker is a game that has many benefits and can teach valuable life lessons. From improving memory to teaching players to control their emotions, the game offers a great deal of value and is very popular among people from all walks of life.
Although poker is a game that relies on chance, it is also a game of skill and strategy. A good poker player will understand the odds of a particular hand and make decisions based on probability, psychology, and game theory. This type of play is known as “poker math” and can improve a player’s overall game.
It is important for players to learn to be able to read the other players at their table. This will help them determine the types of hands that their opponents may have and the best ways to bluff them. In addition, studying the play of other players will allow them to see the mistakes that others often make and avoid those same mistakes themselves.
Poker also helps develop discipline. While it is tempting to make impulsive and undisciplined decisions, poker players learn that these kinds of moves could cost them big later on. This is a lesson that can be applied to all areas of life and helps players develop better discipline and control their emotions.
To start out with, a new player should begin by playing in low stakes games to familiarize themselves with the rules of poker. This will also give them a feel for how the game is played and how to manage their poker chips.

It is possible to extract existing annotations out of PubChem and to upload updated/improved annotations back into PubChem. CDD did the upload process once. They may have documentation saved
Both PubChem and ChEMBL in principle welcome improved annotations
It is possible to add ontologies or ontology terms to the CDD BioAssay Express tool
The online CDD BioAssay Express tool is not the same as the version stored in the public github
Assay descriptions contained in the appropriate field in ChEMBL have variable depth and completeness. For that reason we cannot rely on them when we conduct QC of our own annotations. On the other hand, this also means that our annotations are likely to deliver more value.
Papers cited in ChEMBL may not contain suitable assay descriptions; instead, one may have to chase multiple references at a potentially very high cost for access to papers
There are multiple assay entries in PubChem that have verbose descriptions (in the “Description” field) that however contain plain text and have never been parsed. These assays represent the lowest-hanging fruit
In the published academic papers there are errors in assay descriptions, that propagate between papers
When assay panels are cited in peer-reviewed literature, links to vendor assay panels are often dead, because vendors go out of business or merge
Primary assay is more interesting than secondary ones (because selectivity assays may have less rigor than the primary assay). Hence, focus on publications that report primary target assays, and for selectivity assays, consider first and foremost those that have multiple concentrations and not just one.
The PubChem assays that were imported from ChEMBL have irrelevant text in the text box (The abstract from the paper does not describe the assay), making it hard to use NLP and models to make automated predictions. This makes it hard to use ChEMBL sourced PubChem assays without pre-reading papers and pasting the assay descriptions in. Other PubChem assays tend to have the assay descriptions pasted into the PubChem assay description or protocol field instead of paper abstracts. These often have more than a few compound results uploaded as well. Examples: NCBI - WWW Error Blocked Diagnostic and NCBI - WWW Error Blocked Diagnostic

title: Healthcare reputation management

text:
Managing how patients perceive your healthcare practice online is a key component of healthcare reputation management, helping you build trust and attract new patients.
A strong online reputation is essential in healthcare, influencing patient acquisition and trust, leading to higher satisfaction and retention.
Utilizing technology, such as automated review requests and sentiment analysis tools, can streamline reputation management and enhance patient feedback collection.
Proactive engagement with patient reviews, both positive and negative, is vital for building trust, improving services, and fostering long-term patient relationships.
Understanding Healthcare Reputation Management
Healthcare reputation management involves monitoring and influencing how patients perceive the quality of care and professionalism of providers.
A medical provider’s reputation is built over years but can be tarnished in moments by negative reviews, leading to lost patients and financial resources. A doctor’s online reputation not only enhances their digital presence but also influences patient recommendations.
A strong reputation builds trust, encourages patients to seek care, and leads to higher patient satisfaction and retention. Implementing an effective healthcare reputation management strategy can attract more patients, increase profitability, and give providers a competitive edge.
Key elements that build a healthcare organization’s reputation include trust, credibility, and the consistent projection of a positive image and brand online. Overall, managing healthcare reputation is about controlling perceptions of quality of care, professionalism, and trustworthiness.
Why Online Reviews Matter for Healthcare Providers
Patients are increasingly influenced by online reviews, which significantly impact their choice of doctors and other healthcare professionals.
Approximately 90% of patients read online reviews for doctors and other healthcare services, making it important for physicians to get a steady stream of positive reviews.
Positive online reviews can enhance a doctor’s credibility and attract new patients. Many consumers expect a minimum star rating of 4 stars for healthcare providers, with 73% of them refusing to consider physicians with lower ratings.
A positive online reputation directly influences patient acquisition and trust. Doctors with positive reviews and high ratings are more likely to be chosen by patients, thereby increasing their patient base and enhancing their overall reputation.
Active management of online reviews helps medical professionals maintain a positive image, attracting and retaining patients.
Key Components of Reputation Management
Addressing online reviews proactively helps medical professionals improve their services and uphold their reputation.
Patient reviews can reveal friction points and help providers resolve issues before they escalate. Understanding patients’ perspectives drives quality improvements in healthcare services. Advanced analytical tools can identify specific areas requiring immediate attention for service improvement.
Training staff to actively request online reviews can boost the overall perception of your healthcare practice. Professionalism in responses to both positive and negative reviews reflects well on the healthcare provider and builds trust with patients. Incorporating these components into their strategy helps doctors build a positive online reputation, benefiting both their practice and patients.
Leveraging Technology for Better Reputation Management
Leveraging technology for continuous feedback and review management can greatly enhance a healthcare provider’s online presence.
Sharing online reviews as content can amplify a physician’s social media presence and attract more patients.
Technology can help enable medical professionals streamline their reputation management efforts and achieve better results.
Automated Review Requests
Automated reputation management systems like ReputationStacker boost patient feedback collection through follow-up messages after appointments.
Automation increases the volume of reviews received, allowing doctors to gather valuable insights into the patient experience more efficiently.

Sentiment Analysis Tools
Sentiment analysis and advanced analytics tools like those provided by ReputationStacker can help doctors understand the emotional tone of patient feedback.
These tools can identify trends in patient sentiment, enabling proactive service improvements and increasing patient satisfaction and loyalty.
Best Practices for Managing Online Reviews
Encouraging patients to share their experiences on review sites boosts online visibility and attracts new patients.
Healthcare organizations often become overly concerned about the occasional negative review. However a perfect 5-star rating on review sites can actually be a deterrent, as it may not seem believable. The ideal rating for most practices is between 4.4-4.9 stars.
Actively requesting online reviews, responding to reviews promptly, and addressing any issues raised are fundamental to healthcare reputation management.
Responding to Positive Reviews
Asking for and responding to patient reviews can provide valuable insights into the patient experience and foster better patient relationships.
Medical practices are often guilty of either responding to only negative reviews, or not responding to reviews at all.
However, responding to all reviews (not just negative reviews) is an opportunity to not only build stronger patient relationships, but also to naturally add relevant keywords to your review profiles, which helps improve your ranking in local search.
By acknowledging positive feedback, providers can strengthen patient loyalty and promote a positive image.
Handling Negative Reviews
A negative review can significantly impact a medical practice’s online reputation, affecting both patient acquisition and retention.
Proactively addressing issues before they result in negative feedback is ideal, but the occasional negative review is bound to happen.
Replies to online reviews should be clear, concise, and professional, adhering to HIPAA guidelines. Responding to negative reviews empathetically and professionally, while offering solutions, demonstrates a commitment to patient care and can mitigate the impact of the review.
Encouraging reviewers to reach out directly can facilitate private discussions and resolve issues in a way that – when handled with care – can improve the patient experience and often turn negative reviewers into your strongest advocates.
Enhancing the Patient Experience by Actively Seeking Feedback
By actively seeking patient feedback and implementing changes based on that feedback, healthcare organizations can enhance the patient experience and build a positive online reputation.
This approach not only improves patient satisfaction but also contributes to long-term success.
Real-Time Feedback Collection
Collecting real-time feedback is essential for doctors to understand and improve the patient experience.
Software tools like ReputationStacker make it easy to collect comprehensive feedback from patients and get online reviews from them.
But collecting feedback without taking action on it is a huge missed opportunity.
Reputation management software like ReputationStacker analyzes qualitative feedback and transforms it into quantitative metrics that medical practices can use to take action.
Implementing Changes Based on Feedback
Understanding patient sentiment can be used to enhance service recovery, improve online reputation, and tailor services effectively.
Tools like ReputationStacker help healthcare organizations analyze patient reviews and feedback effortlessly, unlocking actionable insights that can be used to improve the practice immediately.
The Role of Google Business Profiles in Healthcare
An optimized Google Business Profile improves a physician’s visibility in local searches, making it essential for attracting patients.

Grace Family Spotlight – The Salinas-Lazarski Family
Elyssa has been attending Grace Lutheran Church since she was a child, and she attended Grace Lutheran School from Kindergarten through 4th grade, which she loved. She is working on her PhD in Theology and teaches theology at Dominican University. Derek works as Director of Accreditation and Assessment at National Louis University. We hope that you have run across this wonderful family already and gotten to know them, but in case you have not, here is a little more information on them and their journey at Grace.
Why did you choose Grace Lutheran School for your children?
Along with our family connections there, we think the teachers are fantastic and the community has been a special thing to be a part of. Also, Cully and Frida have made so many great friends!
What did you love the most about this school year?
This school year has provided our family with such joy, especially seeing our children thrive in the classroom. Frida especially comes home curious about her faith after participating in chapel, and Cully is always so proud to share a new piece of art that he finished in class.
What would you tell another parent who may be considering enrolling their child at Grace?
We also chose Grace because of their care for each child. Elyssa had a time during fourth grade when her mother was hospitalized and the care she received during that traumatic time was paramount to her development as well as her desire to have her children part of such a loving community. When a child is at Grace, they are family.

Garam Production Blessed by Dewa Guan Yu
In a surprising turn of events, Garam Production, a small indie game development studio, was blessed by Dewa Guan Yu, the Chinese god of war and martial arts. This unexpected encounter took place during a routine visit to a local temple in Jakarta, Indonesia. The studio’s founder, Rina Tan, shared her awe-inspiring experience with our team, shedding light on the mystical events that unfolded.
The Encounter with Dewa Guan Yu
It all began when Rina, a devout believer in Chinese mythology, decided to seek blessings for her studio’s latest project, an immersive action-adventure game inspired by ancient legends. As she entered the temple, a sense of peace washed over her, and she knew that something extraordinary was about to happen. Little did she know that Dewa Guan Yu himself would appear before her, offering his divine protection and guidance.
The Impact on Garam Production
The blessing from Dewa Guan Yu has had a profound impact on Garam Production. Since that fateful day, the studio has experienced a surge of creativity and inspiration, leading to breakthroughs in game development and storytelling. Rina and her team have been working tirelessly to bring their vision to life, infused with the powerful energy of the god of war.
Renowned cultural historian, Dr. Liang Wei, shared his insights on this rare occurrence, stating, “The blessing of Dewa Guan Yu is a symbol of strength, courage, and honor. It is a tremendous honor for Garam Production to receive such divine intervention, and I have no doubt that their upcoming game will resonate with players on a profound level.”
As Garam Production continues on its journey to create a game that transcends boundaries and captivates audiences worldwide, the blessing of Dewa Guan Yu serves as a reminder of the extraordinary forces that shape our lives. With faith, perseverance, and a touch of divine intervention, anything is possible.

Ladakh Weather in November – A Guide to Ladakh Weather Conditions in November
Ladakh weather in November usually marks the last leg of tourism season in the Ladakh valley. Though visitation starts decreasing by mid-September, and almost comes at a halt by October end, you may still find some tourists planning a trip to Leh-Ladakh in November.
The month of November marks the beginning of winter season in the valley.
With the beginning of winter, road transportation; especially through the Manali-Leh Highway gets standstill due to snowfall. To note here, crossing the Bara-lacha La Pass becomes extremely challenging due to snowfall, and thus, the entire route gets shut down withe advent of November month.
However, if you look at Ladakh weather in November, the Srinagar-Leh Highway still remains operational, and can be accessed till the mid of November. Post second week, even this route also gets shut down as the Zoji La Pass gets completely shut down due to snowfall. Even though snowfall does not reach the peak at this point, driving through the roads becomes very challenging as well as risky.
Hence, if you are looking at Ladakh weather in November to plan a trip, you should plan it only during the first half of the month.
However, if you still want to plan a trip by the second half of the month, flight journeys would be only option. Planning a flight journey to Ladakh does not only ensures safe arrival in the valley, but also allows you to take advantage of the less influx of tourists in the entire valley. As tourism almost comes to a halt, you may get easy access to hotels and can book your accommodation at reasonable prices. But then, flying to Ladakh in November might not allow to book luxury hotels or other stay options as most of the hotels by the second half of November closes down their services due to the onset of harsh weather.
Once you arrive in the valley; Leh city via flight, the first thing you would experience is the chilling temperature. As snowfall starts, the temperature level start dropping down. As a result, the valleys and meadows also start getting covered with snow layers. This also causes the smaller water bodies to freeze down partially; some of the water bodies at higher altitudes freezes down completely. On a whole, you can expect a maximum of 6 to 7 degrees during the daytime, and can witness temperature level going below zero degrees during the night.
Also, with the freezing of the water bodies, the entire valley experiences water scarcity to a large extent. Even if you prefer to stay in hotels, lodges, or guesthouses, you may have to undergo water scarcity in the valley.
Adding to this, as temperature level falls down drastically, you must pack really well while searching for Ladakh weather in November and planning your trip. While packing for your trip; whether you are planning for an early trip or a trip by the second half, you must carry enough of warm clothes. Heavy woollen jackets, thick jackets, windproof clothing, sturdy pair of shoes, socks, hand gloves, and warm bandanas are the things you should not miss out at any cost while packing for your trip.
In order to plan a hassle-free trip to Ladakh in November, you should keep your itinerary as simple as possible. Ensuring most of your stays within Leh city would be the best choice to make while you are in Ladakh valley as you may not be able to find any operating hotels towards the outskirts of Leh or in remote places.
Electricity is yet another important point about Ladakh weather in November. If you planning your trip in this month, you may have to face frequent power cuts. There are several other factors that you should keep in mind while planning a Ladakh trip in November. To know more about these factors, you must check our guide to plan a Ladakh trip in November that will give you more insights about how to plan a perfect Ladakh trip in the month of November.

Potato Planet! is a first person action physics puzzle game. With potatoes. So many potatoes!
You’ve crashed on a strange planet where potatoes are the dominant lifeform. While solving physics puzzles and fighting off angry potatoes, you must retrieve bits of tech from your crashed spaceship that have been scattered about in order to upgrade your weapon and make repairs to your ship so you can survive and get home. A computer AI companion helps guide the way and provides snarky commentary.
You quickly discover that baby potatoes are useful as ammo, food, and as an energy source for your power-hungry weapon upgrades. Baby potatoes are not mobile or sentient, so they are also an easy food source for some other life on the planet.
Potatoes are deadly!
Adult potatoes do not appreciate you harvesting their young. Getting smashed by 300 Lbs of tuber is not a pleasant experience, so be careful! These potatoes are slightly smarter than an average Idaho Russet. Which makes them the most intelligent potatoes in the universe. If you are not smarter than a potato, you may find this game too challenging.
Use the environment and potatoes to solve physics puzzles. Rock too big and heavy to push out of the way? Mashed potatoes are an exllent way to reduce friction. Don’t like running? Mud is really sticky. Need to jump higher? Mushrooms get big and bouncy when you feed them potatoes. Some objects can be moved around, others can be destroyed. Just remember that doing it quietly while firing as few shots as possible is your best chance of survival.
Release Date: 2018
Target platforms: Initial release on PC, Mac, Linux
Later we hope to port to Xbox One and PlayStation

title: Clean up stale azure ad devices with scr

text:
Under normal circumstances, when powering off Azure Active Directory (AAD) joined non-persistent VM, MCS agent inside VM will perform Azure AD leave and remove device record from Azure Active Directory. Occasionally, the action may fail, it will leave stale device in Azure AD. Recently, Azure AD started blocking Azure AD join when a device with same hostname is already registered. There is a known issue recorded, refer to Known issues | Citrix DaaS
Before Citrix officially resolve this issue in product, customer admin can use the Microsoft Graph API to filter out the eligible device records of the Azure AD devices based on the NamingScheme of the non-persistent Azure AD joined Machine Catalog, and then delete device records of those VMs that no longer exist in Azure AD. Then new VM with same host name can join Azure AD. We recommend the operation to be run as a scheduled task to ensure the stale device records can be removed in time.
You can use the script CleanDeviceByAzureFunction.ps1 in the Azure Function (run as a regular task to clean the stale device, set to run every N minute to make sure the stale device can be removed timely):
Create an Azure function, and “Runtime stack” is “Powershell Core”.
Should uncomment the line below “# 'Az' = '9.*'” in “requirements.psd1” file under “App files” of Azure function, to use the Az module in your function app.
Enable “System assigned” managed identity or “User assigned” managed identity.
Assign at least “Reader” role assignment to the managed identity, and scope should be subscription/resource groups of those deleted VMs whose Azure AD devices are requested to be cleaned up.
Assign the managed identity with Azure AD role of “Cloud Device Administrator” and API permission of "DeviceManagementManagedDevices.ReadWrite.All".
Download the CleanDeviceByAzureFunction.ps1 and copy code into Azure function.
Note: depending on the template used to create a function, some changes are required:
If use User assigned managed identity, modify file “profile.ps1” under “App files” of Azure function.
Connect-AzAccount -Identity -AccountId "The Client ID of managed identity"
Set “$CleanIntuneDevice” to be $True if want to clean Azure AD device's record in Intune.
Set "$NamingScheme", and the naming scheme should be between 2 and 15 characters
If non-persistent catalog has preserving VM option enabled, then the script will not work correctly. Admin needs to remove stale Azure AD device manually or by a script that is based on power schedule of VM, in other words, delete Azure AD stale device after VM is shutdown.

Move to improve cancer survival rates
In an interview reported today, the Health Secretary, Andrew Lansley has highlighted the fact that the UK lags far behind the international benchmark for cancer survival and said that were these benchmarks to be achieved, 5,000 lives a year would be saved.Many people come to us with stories about delays in cancer diagnosis or treatment and these cases are always heartrending. The public is constantly told that early diagnosis and treatment gives the best chance of a good outcome and yet distressingly, often these are missed by health professionals. The acknowledgement that we are falling far short of what is being achieved in other countries is confirmation of what many patients have suspected. It would be fantastic if we could move to a position where we were leading standards of care rather than trying to catch up with the levels of treatment and success that other countries enjoy.Andrew Lansley said in the same interview that patients will be surveyed on the care they or their loved ones have received in hospitals and that these surveys will be used to measure the quality of care given and to improve it.Trefine Maynard, a partner in the Ashtons Legal Medical Injury Team, comments: “Many of the clients who contact us are prompted by despair at poor levels of care and what is seen as a lack of attention to what patients and their families need both in terms of information and advice. All too often patients are ignored when they report problems with treatment or with deterioration in their own or their loved one’s condition and this can lead to catastrophic outcomes. If this can now be addressed and if patient surveys are taken seriously and acted upon, it can only lead to a very welcome improvement in care and perhaps a return to the respect that the public always used to have for the NHS and would dearly love to have again”.

title: Less is more in finnish education

text:
Finnish education is famous for its “Less is More” principle. In Finland pupils have less schooldays a year, less lessons in a school day, spend less hours at school, get far less homework (but they do get some, don’t belive the staggering headlines!) etc. than pupils in most other countries. Why is that and what do Finns think they are achieving with this “Less is More” principle?
Again, it comes to the fact that Finnish education is science-based. There is no proof that children learn more if they are exhausted with long days at school and huge amount of home work. Quite the contrary: scientific research proves that people learn more, when they get enough rest and variety in their doings. There are several scientific studies showing that a lot of homework is not promoting learning at all.
We strongly believe that when we are studying we should spend the time effectively and get most out it (using appropriate teaching methods etc.). But after that, it doesn’t increase learning to push children too much and make them exhausted.
The Less is More principle has also a lot to do with the insight that learning is not limited to school. We believe that children learn a lot while doing other things and spending time outside the school, too. Play, hobbies, investigating your surroundings, spending time with your family and friends can be important sources of learning as well!
Based on these conceptions, Finnish children have 13 weeks holiday a year: 9 weeks summer holiday, one week holiday in the middle of the autumn, two weeks Christmas holiday and one week winter holiday (plus less than a week holiday around Easter). To be frank, most of the Finnish parents don’t have that much holiday, so they have to find solutions for the school holidays for their children (many times children go to spend time with their grandparents, sometimes they attend a camp or club during a holiday etc.).
Having so much time off, what do the Finns usually do, when they have their holidays? Many families spend the time at home, just doing things they don’t every week find the time for. Many families travel to meet their family and relatives that live far away. Numerous Finns have summer houses / holiday homes (or “summer cottages”, “mökki”, as we call them) and they spend their time there enjoying the nature. Some families travel abroad to have a vacation there. Many parents try to combine working and spending time with their children etc.
Here is what Learning Scoop team and their families did:
Baking (learning assignment for pupils in pre-primary school), Playing in the snow, Distant working, Skiing and Ice fishing on ice, Walking in the forest, Playing board games, renovating summer cottage, Joy of moving at the SuperPark indoor activity park, Ice hockey games..
To be honest, neither one of us stopped working. We tried to find ways to spend time with our dear ones and get the work done at the same time.
We wish you all rewarding moments at work as well as with your loved ones!

title: Maritozzi

text:
Today is the last day of this year’s Giro. I haven’t made daily dishes like in past years, and, while it was a huge endeavor, I really kind of miss making 21 daily, regional specific dishes. I wish I had more time to conduct regional research and come up with something new for me and you, but I no longer have that luxury. Today, the riders finish in Rome and I decided to make Maritozzi, a sweet glazed citrus brioche that is filled with vanilla sweet cream. I also topped some with shaved chocolate, chopped pistachio, or chopped candied tangerine. A dusting of powdered sugar is always welcome, too. These are amazing treats on their own, but even better with a nice cappuccino. Maritozzi date back to the Middle Ages and were the only sweet permitted to be eaten during Lent!
½ cup of whole milk, briefly warmed to ~100 degrees
2 cups bread flour
⅓ cup sugar
¼ cup extra virgin olive oil
1 tbsp honey
2 tsp vanilla extract
Grated zest of 1 orange and 1 lemon
¾ tsp salt
2 large eggs at room temperature
1 tbsp of cream
¼ cup sugar
¼ cup water
Shaved high quality bittersweet chocolate
Chopped candied tangerine
2 cups cold heavy cream
2 tsp vanilla extract
~1 cup of confectioners sugar
Prepare the sponge by lightly stirring those ingredients in the bowl of a stand mixer with a rubber spatula. Cover with cling wrap and set at room temperature for an hour.
After an hour, add in 1.5 cups of the flour, followed by the remaining dough ingredients, and mix on low with the paddle attachment of your stand mixer until well combined. Then, add in the remaining half cup of flour and mix on medium speed for 5 minutes.
After 5 minutes, swap the paddle for the dough hook and scrape down the sides of the bowl. Continue to beat on medium speed for an additional 5 minutes.
Oil a work surface and your hands and remove the dough from the bowl to the oiled work surface. Flatten the dough into a rough oval. Fold the top over to meet the bottom and turn 90 degrees, then flatten into an oval again. Repeat this process 5 more times and finally shape it into a ball.
Place the dough ball in a clean oiled bowl, cover with cling wrap, and set at room temperature for 2 hours.
After 2 hours, divide the dough into quarters. Pull apart each quarter into 2 pieces. Shape each small portion into an oval and place on a parchment lined baking sheet. Be sure to spray the parchment with a little cooking spray. These will bake up too large to place on just one baking sheet, so place 4 on each of 2 prepared sheets.
Spray the tops of the pastry lightly with cooking spray and cover loosely with cling wrap and set at room temperature for an hour.
Meanwhile, make the simple syrup by dissolving the sugar water over medium heat in a small saucepan. Set aside to cool.
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees, setting the racks in the upper and lower third rungs.
Whisk the egg wash, brushing it over the dough, then bake the brioche uncovered for 14 minutes, rotating and switching the tray placement halfway through.
Remove from the oven and brush on the simple syrup glaze. Set the brioche on a wire rack to cool.
Meanwhile, prepare the toppings and mix the sweet cream ingredients with a whisk in your stand mixer until stiff peaks hold. Cover and chill until ready to use.
Once the brioche are nearly cool to the touch, using a serrated knife, cut out a small wedge from each. Pipe (or spoon) in the sweet cream, dust with confectioners sugar and add any toppings you like. A mix of all three options isn’t bad either! Serve immediately or chill covered for about 6 hours and remove them from the refrigerator 10 minutes or so before serving.

Did you know? Tuesday 13th is an unlucky day in Spain, not Friday 13th
The day Tuesday 13th is a day of bad luck in Spain, as opposed to Friday 13th in other cultures
Tuesday 13th is an unlucky day in Spain, and not Friday 13th as it is in the United States, the United Kingdom and other Western countries.
This makes the series of horror films titled ‘Friday the 13th’ somewhat confusing for Spaniards, but why is Friday 13th unlucky for some and Tuesday 13th unlucky for others?
Here, we unpack the origins and history of this superstition, and explain the Spanish saying that prohibits people from getting married and doing other things on a Tuesday.
Unlucky number 13
The number 13 is considered unlucky in many cultures. Jesus’ disciple and betrayer, Judas Iscariot, is said to have been the thirteenth guest to sit down at the Last Supper.
Thirteen also comes just after the number 12, which is a number that completes things (12 months to the year, 12 hours on the clock, 12 signs of the zodiac etc).
It is considered bad luck to have 13 people sitting at a dinner table, which is why some people pop put a teddy bear sitting in an extra chair to bring the number of guests up to 14.
Some hotels refuse to have a room number 13, and a lot of tall buildings skip out the thirteenth floor, jumping straight from 12 to 14.
But why Tuesday?
The countries that consider Tuesday 13th to be an unlucky day are Spain and Greece.
Tuesday 13th is unlucky in Spain and Greece because Tuesday is the day of the week that was dominated by Ares, the Greek god of war (known to the Ancient Romans as ‘Mars’) who gives his name to ‘martes’, which is Tuesday in Spanish.
In ancient Greece it was believed that Typhon, a terrifying monster and the god of hurricane winds, was born on a Tuesday. Tuesday was also the day of the week on which the fall of Constantinople took place and the day on which, according to the Bible, the confusion of the Tower of Babel took place.
For these reasons, Tuesday is something of a bellicose, violent and damned day. The Spanish even have a traditional proverb that warns people to avoid performing certain actions on a Tuesday:
“En martes, ni te cases, ni te embarques, ni de tu casa te apartes”(On Tuesday, don’t get married, embark on a journey, or move away)
So now you know! Cancel that trip you have planned for next Tuesday, and for good measure check out these other weird Spanish superstitions that you should know.

title: Ministry

text:
Lately my life has been consumed with work and pregnancy and moving, with little time for breathing or anything else. I wanted to show you a glimpse of the job that I love but that really runs my life. I work for Young Life, and am the area director (in charge person) for a small area in the middle of Dallas. Jed volunteers with the high school ministry and we have a lot of fun doing ministry together. Pictured above are our high school friends at Young Life club, which happens every Monday night. We have a great group of kids that come, and we are always meeting new kids. The ministry is fun, heartbreaking, amazing, exhausting, and an incredible thing to be a part of. I love seeing the volunteers I work with build relationships with kids and share the Gospel with them through those friendships. I didn’t realize how difficult the job I’ve loved for 10 years would be become while pregnant. My first trimester was really hard, not as hard as others I’m sure, but difficult all the same. I am so thankful for the child growing in my body and the ministry that the Lord has called me to, but the combination of the 2 has been life changing.
WyldLife is the middle school portion of the ministry, and that club meets every 3 weeks on Friday nights. It is wild and high energy and perfect for middle schoolers. The photo above is from the WyldLife Bus Tour this year. Bus Tour was a rude awakening for me. It is an all night middle school adventure that takes bus loads of us all over Dallas to a Mavs game, and many other events. It goes from 6 pm to 6 am, and ours happened to take place on the night of the time change. Yikes. I really thought I could make it through the event even though I was about 11 weeks pregnant and sick 24/7. I had Jed on call in case I needed to be rescued. I thought I might make it to 2 am. Nope. I made it to 11 pm, barely. I spent the whole 4th quarter in the bathroom vomiting. Good times. I thought I could tough it out, but the baby said, “No way, Mama.” The trickiest part of the whole night is getting our group (50 kids) from one of the American Airlines Center to the other through the massive crowd, down to the court to shoot free throws, and then out to the bus. I forced myself to make it through that part, and then had Jed pick me up at our next stop. Thankfully I had awesome volunteer leaders with me to take over. It was really hard for me to realize that I couldn’t do everything I used to do. I know my life will change a million times more once the baby arrives, but it has already changed more than I ever imagined.
YoungLives is for pregnant and parenting teen girls. These are some of our lovely girls and their babies. We pair them with mentors who hang out with them and walk through life with them. It is a new and growing part of Young Life worldwide, as we figure out how to reach out to parenting teens. Over the last year this special ministry has grown really close to my heart. I don’t know if the Lord is working me because of the way my life is changing. I know He is changing my heart as He changes my body and makes me ready for motherhood. I am wrestling with how to balance my job and my family. I’ll be thinking and praying about this a lot over the next few months. I hope that the Lord will give me a clear picture of what He wants me to do. If that means working full time and figuring out day care, or working part time, or staying home full time, I hope that He gives me clarity and peace about it.
“Come, follow me, ” Jesus said, “and I will make you fishers of men.” At once they left their nets and followed Him.
I went back to work last Thursday after 2 months fo sabbatical. The time off was wonderful and much needed, and going back has been difficult. I have been playing catch over the last week, and I have this feeling I will never get there. This verse reminds me of my calling and keeps my mind on Jesus, instead of on my frustrations. I am called to follow Him, and He has made me a fisher of me, teenagers in particular. I trust Him, and follow Him into the sea of the middle and high schools, until He calls me elsewhere.

3 ways how KROHNE can support your wind farm projects
Corrosion resistant sensor and converter options (316L)
Flowmeters suitable for strong electromagnetic fields
Offshore wind farms utilise the power of the sea wind to generate clean energy. Installed far from the coast, they minimise visual disturbance and offer higher wind speeds. These turbines make a significant contribution to reducing CO2 emissions and are an important part of the energy transition. Offshore wind farms promise long-term economic and ecological benefits. There are challenges in terms of technical implementation and environmental protection, but the potential is enormous. They are a step towards a sustainable energy future.
The electricity generated by the wind farms undergoes a process of gathering, transformation and rectification before being transmitted through a High Voltage Direct Current (HVDC) line to the coast. To facilitate this process, transformers and rectifiers are employed at an offshore substation, requiring adequate cooling, often achieved through the use of seawater. In addition, all instruments used in this installation must be designed to withstand the harsh offshore conditions and strong electromagnetic fields that prevail in such environments.
Contribution to Sustainability
Enhancing renewable energy reliability : Durable measurement technology ensures stable energy delivery, reducing reliance on fossil fuels.
Resource conservation : Corrosion-resistant materials minimise replacements, conserving resources and reducing waste.
Sustainable Infrastructure : Robust instruments ensure the longevity of offshore wind operations, supporting global energy needs sustainably.
Reduction of system failures : Reliable instrumentation minimises disruptions, ensuring consistent renewable energy output.
Lower operational costs: Efficient and durable technology reduces downtime and optimises resource usage.
Reduced maintenance expenses : Long-lasting devices decrease the frequency of maintenance, saving costs and reducing environmental impact.

I have a Windows 10 machine that has separate windows accounts. I want to run one zoom account in one windows account and a different zoom account in the other windows account. When I keep zoom logged in and log out of the windows account and log into the other windows account it is still logged into the previous windows account zoom. How come? Can't I have this work where each windows account as it's separate account without logging out?

title: Whats causing tmj symptoms

text:
Temporomandibular joint disorder, also called TMD, affects the jaw joint (TMJ) as well as its surrounding muscles and nerves. The TMJ is an intricate system that has daily demands. It is the TMJ that allows you to open and close your mouth, which means you can’t chew your food or speak comfortably if this joint is not working properly or under excessive strain.
Symptoms of TMD can include a wide range of discomfort and disruptions beyond localized jaw pain, including headaches and migraines, pressure behind the eyes and eye sensitivity, ear pain and tinnitus, sleeping problems, neck and shoulder pain as well as chewing difficulties.
Like many health problems, the key to an effective TMJ treatment plan is determining an accurate cause of your symptoms. Jaw joint disorder can be caused by the following:
In some cases, it is an actual injury that causes physical damage to the construction of the jaw. This can include damage to the tendons, ligaments, muscles or bones of the jaw.
Keep in mind that TMJ is a joint. And just like your knees or hips, it can suffer arthritis or rheumatic disease. If you are prone to inflammatory joint pain, it may be worth considering this is a culprit to your jaw pain
When your teeth don’t fit together as they should, it can create unnecessary strain and pressure on your jaw when you swallow, bite down and chew your food. This may involve orthodontic issues as well as having teeth that are either too big or too small to fit in the mouth.
TMD is a disorder that can also be influenced by genetics. The unique structure and alignment of your jaw can be passed down from your parents. In addition, you may have inherited the tendency to be a mouth-breather, which sets the jaw in a chronically open position and can lead to disruptions in jaw functionality.
Neck and Shoulder Tension
The jaw, neck and shoulders are all closely connected. While TMJ disorder can certainly cause tension in the neck and shoulder, the reverse is also true. In other words, pain and muscle tension in is originating in your shoulders or neck may lead to uncomfortable symptoms within your jaw.
At Muccioli Dental, we are dedicated to treating TMD by first uncovering the root cause of your symptoms. We consider all possible causes of TMJ symptoms and recommend a lasting and effective treatment plan. Stop living with disruptive jaw pain and call us today to schedule your consult.

title: How inventory management software can improve efficiency and reduce costs

text:
Running a business isn’t just about making great products or offering standout services. It’s also about walking the fine line between having plenty of stock to meet customer demand without keeping so much on hand that your cash flow takes a hit. Things get tricky when trying to grow your market share and keep costs in check.
Inventory management software can help you hit that sweet spot where you’re not overstocking your shelves or scrambling to fill last-minute orders. It can also help you more accurately and efficiently oversee inventory operations, even with an extensive product list, many suppliers, and multiple locations.
Managing the Balancing Act of Demand vs. Cash Flow
Inventory management software is just what it sounds like: It’s a powerful program that uses real-time data to track stock levels and automate processes like order management and procurement. For many small businesses, it replaces spreadsheets for keeping track of inventory, providing more capabilities, like demand forecasting and reorder alerts, to keep you on top of things.
Using inventory management software frees up cash flow while ensuring you have what you need to meet customer demand. Carrying too much inventory ties up your money in stuff that might sit unsold for weeks (or months). On the flip side, if you don’t have what customers want when they want it, they’ll head straight to your competitor.
Stock tracking based on data helps you figure out what you need and when you need it, and it helps you determine how much of any product makes sense to keep on hand. Getting this right reduces waste, avoids dead stock, and frees up cash to invest in growth areas like marketing, tech upgrades, or expanding your product line.
What Inventory Management Software Does For Your Business
Inventory management software integrates with other business tools, like accounting, sales platforms, and shipping providers, so everything’s connected and running smoothly. Thanks to features like barcode scanning and built-in analytics, it can:
- Track stock in real time so you always know exactly what’s in your warehouse, what’s on order, and what’s flying off the shelves.
- Forecast demand using data to make plans based on supply chain factors.
- Automate reorders so you know when to restock and never run out of bestselling products.
- Reduce holding costs to give you more wiggle room in your budget.
Inventory management software does more than crunch numbers, though. It gives you the clarity you need to adapt to market trends faster to serve your customers better. Automating routine tasks, like stock tracking and reordering, also lets you do more with fewer people, so you don’t need to hire more whenever your sales volume grows.
Keep Your Business Competitive in a Crowded Market
Growing your market share while cutting costs might seem impossible, but with innovative, efficient inventory management software, it doesn’t have to be so complicated.

Flowering Sweet Peas will decorate the fence behind the new Diana Garden. |
Plus, it gives them lots more personality. Everyone who visits loves the Impulse Garden best of all. It's a chaotic, colorful mess of all the flowering perennials I simply had to have! Whether I needed them or not. All squished into an ever expanding sunny spot.
Holy Frijoles! Sadie's Horse Beans (left) & Pinto beans (right) |
Di gifted me with all kinds of great stuff. These pretty Horse Beans... black tomatoes... Hungarian peppers... and some sweet and sassy Watermelons.
I'm coming off a bad luck year for growing veggies of any kind so this inspired me to design a new raised bed for all of Di's goodies. One that's more protected from the elements.
I'm dolling up the ends of the raised bed with climbing sweet peas and Hyacinth vines. All of which I'm starting by seed.
That's one of my favorite, Zen-y things to do. Sitting Indian-style on the floor, planting teeny, tiny seeds with an eye brow tweezers.
Been doing that every evening this week. Will probably be doing that every evening next week, too. I went way overboard on seeds this year.
And, just in case you're wondering where your seeds are... Not to worry! I should have those in the mail to you real soon. :)

Seed Planting Tip: The fabric mesh wrapper on those ever popular Jiffy seed pods do not decompose in the soil. Remove the mesh before planting in the garden to avoid sad root-bound little flowers.

title: Excitement builds for ni assembly election 2016

text:
May’s Assembly election may be one of the most interesting we’ve seen in Northern Ireland. With around thirty per cent of the MLAs elected in 2011 not standing again, we will see a lot of new faces occupying the blue benches in the Assembly chamber. What’s more, there will also be a new-look Executive with just nine Departments.
There are so many questions to be answered: will there be five parties in the Executive this time, as negotiations begin around a new Programme for Government? Will Sinn Féin choose the newly created Department of the Economy, forgoing Education? Will we see regeneration powers devolved to local government? How will anticipated reforms to Health & Social Care be taken forward? Will the status quo remain when it comes to local taxation, or will we see a new system for non-domestic rates?
Staying on top of all of this important change is essential for anyone working in public affairs in Northern Ireland. Luckily enough, Chambré Public Affairs has your back!
On 8 February we’ll launch our NI Assembly Election Alert Service. With this service, you’ll get a comprehensive overview of all key events and developments across the political landscape in the run up to the Assembly election and beyond. This includes weekly updates on the latest election activity, up-to-date candidate information, analysis of the post-election environment and more. We’re even throwing in a ticket to our post-election seminar on the new Assembly and restructured Executive!
Our package offers the most detailed insight into the election campaign at the most competitive price. To find out more about the service, please click here.

Converts sine to square waves without a power-source
Useful as a test instrument for audio purposes
R1 1M 1/4W Resistor
R2 100K Linear Potentiometer
C1,C2 100µF 25V Electrolytic Capacitors
C3 10nF 63V Polyester Capacitor
D1,D2 1N4148 75V 150mA Diodes
IC1 4069 Hex Inverter IC
This circuit is intended to provide good square waves converting a sine wave picked-up from an existing generator. Its major feature consists in the fact that no power-source is needed: thus it can be simply connected between a sine wave generator and the device under test.
The input sine wave feeds a voltage doubler formed by C1, C2, D1 & D2 that powers the IC. IC1A amplifies the input sine wave, other inverters included in IC1 squaring the signal and delivering an output square wave of equal mark/space ratio and good rise and fall times through the entire 20Hz-20KHz range.
Best performances are obtained with an input sine wave amplitude from 1V RMS onwards.
Output square wave amplitude is proportional to input amplitude.
Minimum sine wave input amplitude needed for good performance: 750mV RMS.
Output square wave amplitude with 1V RMS input: 3V peak to peak, with R2 set at max.
Minimum output square wave amplitude: 2V peak to peak, with R2 set at max.
Substituting the two silicon diodes with germanium types (e.g. AA118, AA119), the minimum input threshold can be lowered.
This circuit won £50 and was published on ELECTRONICS WORLD "Circuit Ideas", February 2000 issue, page 135.

title: Git divergent branches

text:
When working with Git, encountering the message "you have divergent branches" indicates a scenario where your local branch and its corresponding remote branch have both been updated in ways that Git cannot reconcile automatically. This guide will explain what this message means, how you might end up in this state, and how to resolve it effectively.
The message "you have divergent branches" typically appears when you try to sync your local branch with the remote branch (e.g., during a pull or push operation) and there are commits on both branches that are not in common. This means that your local branch and the remote branch have both advanced in different directions—like two paths branching off from a common starting point.
Local commits: You’ve made commits locally on a branch (say,
) that have not been pushed to the remote repository.Remote commits: Simultaneously, other collaborators have made and pushed commits to the same branch in the remote repository.
When these two scenarios occur, and you try to push your changes or pull the remote changes, Git will alert you that the branches have diverged.
The resolution process involves deciding how to integrate these changes. There are primarily two ways to handle divergence: merging or rebasing.
Merging is the most straightforward method to resolve divergences. It involves pulling the remote changes and merging them into your local branch. This action creates a new "merge commit" that combines the histories of both branches.
Steps to resolve using merge:
Pull remote changes:
Terminalgit pull origin feature-branchThis command fetches the changes from the remote and tries to merge them into your local branch.
Resolve any merge conflicts: If there are conflicts, Git will pause the merge and ask you to resolve them. After editing the files with conflicts, mark them as resolved:
Terminalgit add <conflicted-file>Complete the merge: Once all conflicts are resolved, continue the merge:
Terminalgit merge --continueIf no conflicts were found, Git auto-creates the merge commit.
Push the merge commit: Finally, push your changes to update the remote repository:
Terminalgit push origin feature-branch
Rebasing is a cleaner way to resolve divergences by placing all your local changes on top of the latest remote branch's changes. This method avoids creating an additional merge commit and keeps the project history linear.
Steps to resolve using rebase:
Fetch remote changes:
Terminalgit fetch originRebase local changes:
Terminalgit rebase origin/feature-branchThis command will start rebasing your changes on top of the latest commits from
.Resolve any conflicts during rebase: If you encounter conflicts during the rebase, Git will stop and let you fix them. After resolving each conflict:
Terminalgit add <conflicted-file>Continue the rebase process:
Terminalgit rebase --continueForce push to remote: After a successful rebase, your local branch history will have diverged from the remote branch history (because the commit hashes have changed). You'll need to force push:
Terminalgit push origin feature-branch --force
For further reading on dealing with divergent branches see the official Git documentation.
Graphite simplifies the rebasing approach with its powerful stack merge functionality, which automates the rebase and merge of stacked branches directly from the web app. This not only streamlines your workflow but also ensures that each operation is tracked effectively, maintaining a clear view of the relationships between branches.
By automating these processes, Graphite allows developers to focus more on coding rather than managing branch dependencies. This leads to fewer errors and a more efficient development process. With Graphite, you can keep your project history clean and linear, making it easier to manage even complex projects.
