Tonight, I’ve configured and set up a bridge linking my Matrix account to my Signal account. The bridge is an instance of Mautrix-Signal, running on my collective server. As such, it’s configured to work only with users of this server.
What does it mean? From now on, every message, reaction, media etc. sent to my Signal account will be forwarded to a mirrored Matrix room, where the Signal user has a Matrix “puppeted” equivalent user.
Another very self-centered update post about me merging my personal and work blogs, and some fun facts about the changes in URLs this caused.
The two or three regular visitors of this blog (hi friends!) might have noticed I’ve changed the design, as of this year. I’ve actually moved from using the Pelican static blog generator to using Zola. This article shows the continuous integration I’ve set up to automatically build and push content to my server, Real Fast™.
Lately, I’ve had to find a hosting server to replace the server we rented for delire.party, our self-hosting collective of friends. Indeed, OVH decided, with no extra explanations, to decomission our Kimsufi server at the end of the year, and to have us pay a few euros more per month until then. This kind of practices irritates me, so I’ve decided to pull out the plug (metaphorically speaking — the OVH server will still be online for the time of the migration) and have our next server live at Hetzner.
is a new Cargo tool that detects unused dependencies in Rust
projects, in a fast (yet imprecise) way. As of today you can install it with
cargo install cargo-machete
and then run it with cargo machete
folder that contains a workspace or crate, to find if you have potentially
unused dependencies. Beware, it can report a few false positives!
Cranelift is a code generator written in the Rust programming language that aims to be a fast code generator, which outputs machine code that runs at reasonable speeds.
In this post I reflect on my personal history of writing chat bots, and then present a panel of features that the bot has, some user-facing ones, some others that embody what I esteem to be a sane, well-behaved Matrix bot.
Since I’ve been working on a Github project for a while now, I thought now would be a good time to gather ways to make it easier to work with Github pull requests (PRs). In particular, it’s easy to drown yourself in the incoming flow of Github emails.
Since this is the end of the first half-year, I think it is a good time to reflect and show some work I’ve been doing over the last few months, apart from the regular batch of random issues, security bugs, reviews and the fixing of 24 bugs found by our fuzzers.
I’ve stumbled across espadrine’s blog post about his accomplishments in 2014 and found it was a really good idea. It matters a lot to acknowledge your own accomplishments, without being overly proud about them, just to realize you’re not an impostor, and that you bring value to your company and deserve your current position (yes, there probably will be more about the so-called impostor syndrome on this blog).

İrem Helvacıoğlu, one of the most successful young actors of the last period, made her real debut with the TV series “Sen Anlat Karadeniz”, which was broadcast on ATV. Most recently, the ATV series, which upset the audience with its early finale, went on vacation as soon as the beautiful actress starring in the ‘Baş Belası’ made its finale.
İrem Helvacıoğlu, who shared the beautiful poses she gave on vacation with her followers on her Instagram account, explained an unfortunate event she had experienced in an interview with Merve Yurtyapan from Sabah Newspaper Günaydın Supplement and announced that she had returned from the dead on the set of the TV series.
The famous actress described the incident that happened to her when she first came to Istanbul as follows; “We’re filming a scene where they give me an injection on a drama set. I’m not afraid of needles, but if it’s in the hands of a nurse or doctor… The art team couldn’t find a fake syringe. We took 4-5 shots using the syringe with the tea in it. My actress friend (Funda İlhan) who made the injection says, ‘It’s not coming, right, I’m scared or something.’
We’re on the last plan. Funda brought the needle right up to my arm and inserted it into my jacket, making sure it was right. Shocked, I turned my head and just looked at her. We both stayed. We didn’t say a word until we said ‘cut’. Then, when Funda said ‘I’m kidding’, she came to my senses and said, ‘No, it took my arm. I felt that they were all injected into my arm,’ I said. I just took the jacket off. My arm was swollen, I went to the hospital.
Thank God she did not come to a vein or to a place where it could pose a danger. I ripped it off with antibiotics. But the doctor said, ‘You could die if it came to the vein.'”

title: Borrow like a pro how loans can help to stretch your budget

Picture this: Olivia Rodrigo tickets are going on sale today, but you don’t get your paycheck until next week. You know they’re going to sell out quickly, but if you spend all your money on the tickets, you’ll be short on cash for necessities like gas and food until you get paid.
In this situation, and many others like it, you have a few choices:
💸 Spend all your money on the tickets - score the seats, but risk not having enough money to cover daily expenses until you get paid.
⌛ Wait until you get your paycheck - you’ll have the money to cover the purchase, but you risk missing out on tickets if the show is sold out.
💳 Buy the tickets on credit - you can borrow the money to buy the tickets today, but you’ll have to pay the amount back over time.
For all you Olivia Rodrigo superfans out there, the third option seems pretty sweet, but there are a few things to consider before you spend borrowed money. Let’s break it down:
Paying back what you owe
So, let’s say you’ve decided to buy the tickets today. You borrowed $75 from your banking service to cover the purchase, which you’re required to pay back within 3 months. The easiest way to make sure you have enough money to make a payment each month is to work it into your budget. Let’s think back to the 50/30/20 rule, where you set aside 50% of your income towards your needs, 30% towards your wants, and 20% towards your savings. A payment on a loan should be considered a “need” since it’s an expense with a set cost that you need to pay back in a timely manner.
In the case of the concert tickets, you’ll now have an added expense of $25 each month for the next 3 months until the loan is repaid. To accommodate this, you may need to cut down on some of the things in your wants category, like choosing to make coffee at home instead of going to Starbucks, or waiting until later to buy an expensive pair of sneakers. To avoid taking 1 step forward and 3 steps back, here’s a good rule of thumb: if you’d need to chip into the savings portion of your monthly budget to make the payments, you may want to reconsider if you can afford the loan.
Is borrowing "good 4 u"?
Starting your borrowing journey with small loans can help you to build good habits for the future. Get into the practice of budgeting your monthly payments now, before you take on bigger loans later in life (like a car 🚗 , or even a house 🏡 ).
You don't want to take 1 step forward and 3 steps back. Taking out loans can also have implications for your credit score if you don’t follow the agreed payment schedule. Banks may report late repayments to the credit bureaus, harming your credit score.
Always remember to borrow responsibly - pay on time and don't overextend yourself to keep your finances happy and healthy.
Get started borrowing with Step
Ready to get started? If you've got your eye on something that’s just a little out of budget, Step's got your back. We're introducing a new feature soon that can help – we’ll spot you for eligible purchases when you’re short on cash and you can pay us back over time. Get the full details here.

title: 3 reasons to consult a psychic about your pet

text:
While psychic readings give you useful insights into your own life, you aren’t the only actor in your play. The people around you and even your pets influence the way you live your life.
Sometimes, you won’t be the sole focus of a reading. You seek help to resolve issues or to learn more about these other influencers. For example, if you have worries about a beloved pet, then a psychic who can communicate with animals is a useful source of advice.
These psychics don’t just connect with people; they also have the ability to tune into animal thoughts and auras. When might it be useful to consult a reader with these skills?
1. Your pet died recently
Pet owners know that the death of a loved animal can be just as traumatic as a human loss. If your pet died recently, then you might find it difficult to come to terms with your bereavement. You want to get your life back on track but don’t know how to move on.
This is especially hard if you lost your pet suddenly, say in an accident. Or you may feel that you didn’t have time to say a final goodbye at the end of a long illness because grief got in the way.
A psychic with the ability to communicate with animals can help with these problems. For example, they can reach out to your pet in the afterlife. If your pet tells you that they are fine and happy now, then you get closure. You can say your final goodbyes.
Plus, in general terms, the psychic can tap into your feelings and help you understand them. They help you work through the bereavement process so that you can finally move on.
2. Your pet has behaviour problems
Pets don’t always behave the same way all the time. A new pet may take time to settle down. Even an existing pet can suddenly change its behaviour for no obvious reason.
For example, if you’ve recently adopted a shelter dog, then you expected it to be happy in its new home. However, all the love and care you give it doesn’t seem to help. The dog might be anxious, needy, destructive or even aggressive.
You can’t talk to your pet to ask what is wrong. However, a pet psychic might be able to communicate with the animal and enlighten you.
For example, the psychic might pick up signals that the dog is anxious when you leave it alone. They may pick up on the fact that your pet is feeling ill even though it isn’t showing any symptoms.
If you know this information, you can deal with the problem. For example, you could arrange for a dog with separation anxiety to spend less time alone; you can take a sick dog to the vet for tests.
3. Your pet is lost
If your pet goes missing, then you’ll try your best to find it. You might put up posters in your neighbourhood and keep in touch with local shelters in case it ends up there.
If your pet isn’t found or doesn’t come home, then you might fear the worst. You also worry that you’ll never find out what happened to it.
Some pet psychics help find missing animals. If they can locate the animal’s aura, they may be able to give you clues about its location.
Even if this isn’t possible, a psychic might give you some resolution. If they can open a channel to your pet, they can tell you if it’s still alive or not.
If you have worries about your pet, then contact Aliz’s Psychics. Our talented readers have a range of natural gifts that could put your mind at rest.

This June sees The Oaks, one of Sydney’s best-loved hotels, look to the Orient, with the arrival of a unique KIRIN pop-up experience in the renowned 1936 Bar.
The KIRIN pop-up will see the 1936 Bar transformed into a Japanese garden, with traditional lanterns, bamboo archways, decorative bonsai trees and a striking LED cherry blossom tree installation. Open from June until August, the pop-up will recreate a Sakaba (pronounced saka-ba), an informal Japanese bar, with traditional rice paper screens used to form a series of cosy private seating pods within the bar space.
KIRIN’s original approach to brewing is the ‘Ichibahn Shibori’ or ‘First Press’ brewing method. A unique, uncompromising brewing process that utilises the purest flavoursome liquid that is drawn only from a single pressing of the finest ingredients. The result from this attention to detail is an exceptional beer that demonstrates rich and pure flavours.
The bar will serve an exclusive menu of KIRIN beers and ciders, including a delicious KIRIN mulled apple cider served in a traditional Japanese teapot. The brand’s unique range of ciders draw on years of master craftsmanship to create perfectly balanced flavour expressions.
KIRIN embraces the philosophy and techniques of the finest Japanese cuisine, using only the best natural ingredients to create a unique, balanced and pure taste.
Hungry guests will be able to order from the bar’s special menu of Japanese classics with a twist. Created by chef Danny Russo, the menu features mouth-watering Asian-inspired fusion dishes, including Karaage chicken with chilli aioli, soft shell crab sliders and Japanese ‘fries’ with teriyaki salmon, crispy onions, nori, picked ginger and cheese.
The KIRIN Sakaba pop-up at The Oaks is a must-try experience this winter and runs until the 21st August 2016 in the 1936 Bar.

title: Trailer richard linklaters last flag flying

text:
Annapurna Pictures and Amazon Studios have released the first trailer for Last Flag Flying, the latest film from director Richard Linklater (Boyhood, Everybody Wants Some!!). It is based on the novel of the same name by Darryl Ponsican, who adapted his book alongside Linklater. Bryan Cranston, Laurence Fishburne, and Steve Carell star. Talk about pedigree!
Thirty years after they served together in Vietnam, a former Navy Corps medic Larry “Doc” Shepherd re-unites with his old buddies, ex-Marine Sal Nealon and Reverend Richard Mueller, to bury his son, a young Marine killed in the Iraq War.
The novel is a sequel to Poniscan’s own The Last Detail, which was famously adapted 1973 by director Hal Ashby. Linklater and Poniscan have opted to change the character names for the film version of Last Flag Flying, turning it into more of a spiritual sequel than a direct one. Still, it’s not hard to watch the trailer above and picture Cranston, Fishburne, and Carell in the roles previously inhabited by Jack Nicholson, Otis Young, and Randy Quaid (respectively).
Whatever their reasoning for altering the names, this looks great. Furthermore, it’s probably in the film’s best interests that it isn’t laid out as a decades-later “The Last Detail 2”. Instead, this can simply stand on its own as a film similar in plot (and theme?), while also allowing Linklater and the actors to do their own thing. The film is currently set to premiere at the New York Film Festival next month, ahead of a limited release in November.
Last Flag Flying is an adaptation of the novel by Darryl Ponsican. It is directed by Richard Linklater, from a screenplay by Darryl Ponsican and Richard Linklater. The picture is produced by Ginger Sledge and John Sloss. The film stars Steve Carell as ‘Larry “Doc” Shepherd’, Bryan Cranston as ‘Sal Nealon’, Laurence Fishburne as ‘Revered Richard Mueller’, Yul Vasquez as ‘Colonal Willits’, Samuel Davis as ‘Larry Shepherd Jr.’, Kate Easton as ‘Jackie’, Tammy Tsai as ‘Irene’, Richard Robichaux as ‘Anorak’, and Lee Harrington as ‘Jamie’.
Last Flag Flying arrives in theaters on November 3rd, 2017.

What we do
We offer our clients comprehensive solutions, providing a wide range of services from civil engineering, to enabling, remediation, earthworks and groundworks. We have the necessary skills and experience to solve your ground engineering challenges and we offer innovative solutions to save time and money.
In a global campaign to find the world’s greenest countries, companies and communities, Cognition Land and Water competed against more than 500 other nominations for the Green World Awards 2025.
We are very proud to announce that The Barking Power Station Gas Pipeline Decommissioning Project has been selected as a winner. The project was recognised because of Cognition’s commitment to sustainable development and carbon reduction.
On behalf of City of London Corporation, in collaboration with Lambert Smith Hampton, Cognition infilled a 19.1 km redundant gas pipeline to Barking Power Station. We proposed a low carbon grout for the pipeline infill material, saving considerable embedded carbon against the works information by incorporating secondary byproducts. The change in material composition reduced embedded carbon by 71%, saving 3,219t CO2e. The alternative material also reduced carbon within the transportation of the material. The change in delivery method reduced vehicle movements by 60%, saving a further 34t CO2e.
Excitingly, our winning paper will be published in The Green Book, the leading international work of reference on best practice.
The awards are organised by The Green Organisation – an international, independent, non-political, non-profit environment group dedicated to recognising, rewarding and promoting environmental best practice around the world. They have prepared the awards presentation for 12th May in Auckland, New Zealand and to offset the carbon footprint created by the journey to the ceremony, trees will be planted. The day of the ceremony is when we find out which specific award we have won, we will be waiting in anticipation to find out the results.
Well done to all the project team for their hard work on this project. It has really paid off!

Dashboards but on easy mode
Plus new developer tools and discussions to get those cogs turning
Hey all, welcome back to The Breakpoint, our weekly newsletter covering everything in developer tools on Product Hunt. This edition: Dashboards without the headache, Google’s newest coding tool, and more MCP goodness
Five of the most interesting recent dev tool (or dev tool-adjacent) launches on the site.
Preswald lives in the browser and turns a few lines of Python into shareable dashboards and internal tools. It comes with a reactive runtime, ready-made tables and charts, and a one-click deploy button.
Gemini 2.5 Pro now handles two million tokens and actually remembers what you gave it. You can drop in a YouTube video, a PDF, a set of mocks, whatever. It builds inside a live coding canvas and gives you something that runs.
Pipedream MCP gives AI agents like Claude and Cursor plug-and-play access to 2,500+ APIs. It runs in the background and handles auth, rate limits, and tool execution with zero setup.
Qagent automates end-to-end web application testing using AI agents—just describe your test cases, and it handles the rest, no coding required. It offers a visual test builder, real-time execution, reusable test cases, and scheduled runs, streamlining QA for developers and teams.
Sarv.live is a developer tool that allows you to share your local web applications with the internet, instantly and securely. Whether you’re demoing a website, testing a webhook, or sharing your dev server with a teammate
Who needs code anyway?
Ambika Vaish tossed out a dare: “Zero coding chops, one wild idea, 30 days—how do I actually ship?”
Replies fell into three vibes:
The hype squad: “Bold is where the magic happens!” Lots of high-fives and “you got this” energy.
The accountability crew: Set clear daily goals, talk to real users, and lean on an accountability buddy when momentum nosedives.
The thread lands somewhere between pep rally and hard-truth handbook—worth a skim if you’re staring at a blank Replit tab with the clock already ticking.


title: Lasik is all about improved vision

text:
More than half of the world population doesn’t have the right vision and changing lifestyle, especially overexposure to devices that constantly emit radiations, there is a rampant growth in the number of new cases. Even small kids are forced to wear glasses; and that’s too is not a permanent solution. But, thanks to the recent developments in the field of ophthalmology and laser technology, the correction of blurred vision, be it nearsightedness (myopia), farsightedness (hyperopia) or astigmatism is no more challenge for LASIK surgeons. LASIK, which stands for “laser in-situ keratomileusis” is a proven treatment that may help to regain the ideal 6/6 vision.
LASIK in the present time is the most common laser surgery to treat refractive error problems associated with blurred vision such as myopia which is known as nearsightedness in common parlance and hyperopia (farsightedness), the opposite case of myopia. Astigmatism, which is another eyesight defect is also corrected and overcome by LASIK very successfully. LASIK provides the surgeon with more precision, accuracy, and speedy procedure by reshaping the corneal surface to correction various refractive error problems after the minimum age of 18 years.
In LASIK, the eye surgeon takes detailed measurements of one’s eye, and with the help of laser technology, reshape the curvature of the cornea. The sharp and accurate laser beam effectively removes corneal tissue and correct patient’s eye power based upon predefined program. LASIK surgery does not take more than 15 minutes and during the surgery, the patient doesn’t feel any pain or irritation. The success rate of LASIK is very high and the recovery time shorter. Usually, the patient start experiencing better vision within 24 hours of surgery.
Dr Arjun Narang added, “LASIK, or laser in-situ keratomileusis, works for people who are nearsighted, farsighted, or have astigmatism. The doctor makes a flap in the outer layer of the cornea to get to the tissue underneath. Then uses a laser to reshape the tissue underneath your cornea so it can focus light properly. The flap is what makes LASIK different from other procedures. The doctor may also use a type of computer imaging called wavefront technology to create a detailed image of your cornea that she can use as a guide. Currently most advanced treatment plan available to correct eye number is OPD CATz technology which offer sharpest quality of vision after lasik surgery. The cost of OPD CATz Lasik starts from Rs 34000 both eyes.
In general, most people who have laser-assisted in-situ keratomileusis (LASIK) eye surgery achieve 6/6 vision or better, which works well for most activities. But some are advised to use glasses during driving at night or reading books/newspapers in the advanced age.
LASIK is safe and effective, and the complications like loss of vision are almost zero or very rare. In the majority of cases, people find better vision after LASIK surgery and they feel satisfied with the results. But, a few minor side effects, particularly dry eyes and temporary blurred vision may occur with some people, but these problems don’t last for longer.

As a parent of an autistic child, I can say that the care and dedication that teachers and staff give to their students is immeasurable. You can see it in the way my son looks forward to going to school every day, and in the growth and progress he has continuously shown throughout the years. Gersh really knows not only how to educate autistic children, but also acknowledge the personalities of each child, and embraces all facets of the student, showing and providing great care, patience, support and understanding for students and their families.
Every child needs only one person to believe in him. In Gersh, the entire team believes. They will find that one spark through positive reinforcement and this child will have confidence. My daughter entered Gersh when she was 10 years old. She did not know how to read. She now reads chapter books.
“Our daughter did not want to go school before Gersh, she was absent a lot. Within the first few months she developed a nice feeling of trust with the staff where she was very willing to go to school. They don’t reprimand or use a reward system they are all just warm and understanding which is what she needs and I think every child needs. Intellectually I see her flourishing because she is much less anxious so she’s able to concentrate better. We feel very fortunate to have found a nice safe, warm, inviting atmosphere for our daughter.”
“At Gersh we feel like we are among family, like we are at home. We know that our son is comfortable, it is a very nurturing place. Academically he is flourishing and socially he is much more outgoing; more comfortable in his own skin and his surroundings. Since coming to Gersh he is more verbal. He used to give us one word answers and now he tells us what’s going on.”
“The teachers are great, they are able to customize the lessons towards the students strengths. There’s nothing better than seeing the excitement in the air, the smiles, creativeness and teamwork. Gersh gives the gift that keeps giving, “ENDLESS ADVENTURES.”
“You guys rock! I can’t imagine my son attending any other school. Thank you for everything” – Jose R.


title: Upside down pear cake

text:
If I am honest there was a time when I survied on chocolate and sweets, that was when I came here after getting married.
I am talking about more than 18 years ago , when there was no easy access to Indian spices or food unlike now.
My chocolate love have lessed compared to that time, still I do love them. Ofcourse i think the main reason for lesser love withchocolate for me now is well you all guessed it, these days i just have to smell a piece and it striaght just goes to my hips :-)
My hubby has been complaning that I am only making chocolate cakes ( which i think is a bit of a exageration from him)
So I thought why not make this cake with pears ( this one was made last week, but didn't had time to post)
Before I go to the recipe, I would love to tell you about Deeba's blog Passionate about baking actually I don't think you all need any introuduction to her place, but if you have missed this post you should check it out.
She has posted a video for how to decorate cake which i think is so so fantastic.
Now to the recipe, you can make this with different fruits like apple, cranberries, pears etc......... the recipe is from the Rachel Allen.
50 gm butter
300 gm Sugar
225 gm pears sliced
200 gm plain flour
1 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp bicarbonate of soda
200 ml butter milk
75 ml sunflower oil/vegetable oil
Softly whipped cream
Click the pic for enlarged image
Preaheat the oven to 180° c.
Melt the butter in the ovenproof pan. Stir in half the sugar and cook over a gentle heat for approximatley 2 minutes. Add the pears and set aside.
I melted the butter in a pan and then poured it on to my baking pan.
Sift the flour, baking powder, salt and bicarbonate of soda into a large bowl. Whisk the eggs in a bowl and add the remaining sugar, the butter milk and oil and mix together.
Pour this mixture into the dry ingridients and whisl to form a liquid batter. Pour the batter over the pears in the pan.
Place the pan in the oven and bake for 30 to 35 minutes or untill the cake feels firm in the center.
Allow to cool for 5 minutes before turning the pan and plate over together in one quick movement. Serve warm or at room temperature with the whipped cream.


title: Alphonse marcel the french steampunk style illustrator master

text:
Story and Photos by ITN European Reporter Herve’ Rebollo.
Salut à toi American rider,
You remember that I use to meet international artists who dedicate their art (or part of it) to the world of motorcycles. I have such admiration for them, I love their world, their imagination, their talent so much.
For over twenty years, Alphonse has mastered the art of creating 3D synthetic images, a skill that has distinguished him in the artistic field and beyond. His professional journey has been marked by significant collaboration with French television, where he has been able to marry his talent with his passion for history by writing and directing historical documentaries.
This synergy between his love for history and his attraction to the diverse subcultures of steampunk has fueled his desire to create works that explore the boundaries between the past, present, and future, blending historical reality with dystopian visions.
Alphonse has also developed a deep admiration for the United States, particularly California and Los Angeles, cities he has visited repeatedly. These visits have reinforced his desire to further explore the country, nurturing his dream of embarking on a family road trip from New York to Los Angeles.
Imagining this journey as a timeless adventure, he plans to rent two classic cars from the 50s, such as Chevrolets or Cadillacs, thus providing his family with an unforgettable experience rooted in the retro aesthetic he dearly cherishes. This travel project, combining exploration and nostalgia, reflects his love for retrofuturistic design and mid-20th century American culture.
Alphonse’s passion for motorcycles occupies a central place in his life and art. An admirer of Harley Davidson, which he considers the quintessence of the touring motorcycle, he is particularly drawn to vintage models with single-seat saddles, emblematic of the 40s and 50s.
This partnership underscores Alphonse’s recognition as a visionary creator, capable of merging classic motorcycle heritage with futuristic aesthetics inspired by science-fiction works like the animated movie “Akira.”
They have been Parisians for several generations. Their ancestors were sculptors, they worked with their hands and tools, the current team took over with its computers. They continue the traditions while respecting the values of their ancestors. Work, rigor and perseverance.
In the gang, some designers adore the military of the early twentieth century and many others fantasize about industrial art and new romantics art. The eclecticism of the group is one of its strengths.
When they discovered the 3d printing, it was fascinating, for the first time in their life they actually touched their virtual objects. When they began to create objects for 3d printing, they considered it to be a new media, it is a revolution like the invention of printing by Gutenberg.


title: Indias central bank doubles down on anti crypto stance

text:
- The Reserve Bank of India said its recent withdrawal of a legally invalid notice doesn’t mean the bank is no longer critical against cryptocurrencies.
- It has conveyed its concerns to the government.
The governor of the Reserve Bank of India said today that the bank continues to maintain its critical stance against cryptocurrencies, and that its recent withdrawal of a 2018 ban was only a bit of legal housekeeping.
“There is no change in RBI’s position,” Governor Shaktikanta Das said at an online press conference, as reported by Bloomberg. The central bank still has “major concerns around cryptocurrency,” he added.
On May 31, the RBI officially withdrew a 2018 circular that said that banks couldn’t deal with “any individual or business entities dealing with or settling virtual currencies.”
Even though that ban was reversed by the Supreme Court in March 2020, commercial banks continued to cite it as a reason for refusing to service crypto businesses, Indian crypto executives told Decrypt.
“We had to set the record straight,” Governor Das said. “That particular circular of RBI has been set aside. Therefore it is not correct to refer to that circular.”
Executives told Decrypt on Monday that the RBI’s decision to withdraw the 2018 circular notice is unlikely to convince major banks to work with them. “Multiple bank managers have told me they are not allowing crypto as per their internal compliance policy—not because of the RBI,” Zakhil Suresh, founder of crypto trading simulator SuperStox, told Decrypt.
Governor Das also said that the RBI has conveyed its concerns over crypto to the Indian government.
The Indian government was scheduled to introduce a crypto bill to protect investors from volatility by April 8, the last day of the parliamentary session in India. But that didn’t happen, since the parliament adjourned on March 25 to accommodate for state elections.
The government has not given any clear hints as to what that crypto bill would entail. The draft bill is likely to be introduced in the parliament’s monsoon session, starting next month.


title: Google stadia will use negative latency to predict player choices

text:
So there are some concerns for Google Stadia when it comes to a handful of technical hurdles that are keeping users away. Aside from the obvious limitations of needing a rather speedy connection to handle all of the data throughput, there’s another concern people have about the cloud-based service. The issue of bandwidth use is pretty big for some people, as Stadia will swallow several GB of data in a play session without thinking twice. In an interview with Edge, Google Stadia vice president of engineering Madj Bakar revealed some of the plans the company has for dealing with these problems.
Bakar has stated that the streaming platform will use a concept he referred to as “negative latency”, to help deal with the bandwidth overhead and other challenges. For one thing, this new technology will help smooth out FPS spikes and drops by using a predictive algorithm. This works by having an algorithm trained on various games, possibly with some deep learning optimizations in the future, to predict what the most common actions players will take is, and then apply them ahead of the player submitting an in-game action.
The tech will also use lag mitigation techniques to deal with other issues. like increasing FPS rapidly to reduce latency between player input and display output. The goal with Stadia is seemingly to make the experience as seamless as possible.
“Ultimately, we think in a year or two we’ll have games that are running faster and feel more responsive in the cloud than they do locally,” Bakar says to Edge, “regardless of how powerful the local machine is.”
With the PS5 and Xbox Scarlett due to drop in 2020 and beyond, Stadia will be really up against a wall to deliver a high-quality gaming experience. This competition will hopefully result in a much richer experience for Stadia, but it will be a very difficult and uphill struggle. The addition of some major titles like Baldur’s Gate 3 help in that regard, but Google needs a lot more muscle to flex the competition out of the way. The price points will also be a contributing factor, but it won’t be easy nonetheless. Google Stadia is set to launch next month, so we’ll see how this effort pans out.

title: What is Buy Now Pay Later?

text:
What is Buy Now Pay Later?
Buy Now Pay Later is an interest bearing option that allows you to delay payments on your purchases for up to 12 months. The delayed payment period starts from the date of order (including pre-ordered items and those not ready for immediate dispatch).
You can choose:
A delayed payment period of 12 months and then a repayment period of 104 weeks when you spend £50 or more.
A delayed payment period of 12 months and then a repayment period of 156 weeks when you spend £99 or more.
How interest is calculated?
Interest will be charged for the delayed payment period and the chosen repayment period.
Interest is calculated and compounded daily at a typical rate of 44.9% per annum for the delayed payment period and repayment period and is charged to your account at date of order as a lump sum. This calculation factors in the planned payments that are requested during the repayment period. Your interest rate is personal to you and will be detailed in checkout.
How to avoid paying interest?
You can avoid paying all interest for both periods by paying the cash price before the end of the delayed payment period. This can be done in one full payment or multiple partial payments.
Making partial payments may result in a portion of the lump sum of compound interest being refunded at the end of the delayed payment period.
Remember if you choose not to pay the full cash price before the end of the delayed payment period any outstanding balance plus the lump sum of compound interest applied at the date of order will become payable.
How do I make a Buy Now Pay Later payment?
To make a full or partial payment simply log into My Account, choose “Make a payment”, select “Pay Buy Now Pay Later” and allocate your payment to the specific item(s) you wish to pay off. Alternatively, you can call us.
What happens after the delayed payment period?
If you have not made any payments towards your Buy Now Pay Later, the outstanding balance plus the lump sum of compound interest will be payable across your chosen repayment period. This will now be included in your account minimum payment request each month.
If you have made partial payments, but not cleared the full cash price before the end of the delayed payment period, the outstanding balance plus a reduced lump sum of compound interest will become payable. The repayment amount agreed for the repayment period will remain the same, meaning the repayment period may be shorter than originally agreed.If you have paid the cash price in full before the end of the delayed payment period, you will not pay any interest.
What is excluded from Buy Now Pay Later?
The costs for delivery, installation services and any warranty and insurance products cannot be placed on Buy Now Pay Later. Buy Now Pay Later availability is subject to your credit and account status.
Do I still have to pay my minimum payment?
Yes, allocating payments to Buy Now Pay Later will not cover the minimum payment for your Littlewoods account. If you have a non-Buy Now Pay Later balance on your Littlewoods account you will still need to make at least your minimum payment as shown on your statement.

title: Long seperation criminal prosecution and harsh words enough to show irretriveable breakdown of marriage

text:
While dealing a matrimonial case of twenty one years of spouse living separately, the Allahabad High Court has held that long separation coupled with criminal prosecution and harsh words spoken to spouse, without any desire to retrieve the matrimonial relationship shows an irretrievable breakdown of marriage.
While dismissing the appeal filed by one Arti Tiwari, a division bench comprising Justice Saumitra Dayal Singh and Justice Donadi Ramesh held that the marriage between the parties had irretrievably broken down.
Arti had filed the appeal, challenging the judgment and decree by which her marriage was dissolved, by the additional principal judge, family court, Kanpur Nagar.
While dealing with a matrimonial case of 21 years of separation, court held “Desertion suffered over long years in a young marriage, accompanied with harsh words spoken and complete lack of desire and effort on part of the deserting spouse to cohabit as also lodging of criminal case alleging demand of dowry only after institution of divorce case proceeding by the other spouse and pursuing it in appeal to secure conviction (after initial acquittal) does indicate in any case, the marriage between the parties is irretrievably broken down.”
In the present case, the parties got married in the year 2000. After a few days of the marriage, appellant-wife claimed that she was feeling unsafe in the marital house as only male members were present in the house. Thereafter, the respondent-husband moved with her to Bareilly, his place of work, where she did not stay for long and moved to Kanpur Nagar stating that she was practicing as an advocate.
Even when the husband rented premises at Kanpur Nagar, the wife preferred to stay at her paternal home. Eventually, the husband moved to stay with his family in Unnao.
They had a daughter in 2002 and finally they started living separately in 2003.
The husband had alleged that the appellant-wife misbehaved with his family member, used harsh words and threatened to file false criminal cases against them.
The court, while dismissing the appeal in its decision dated September 4, observed that the appellant-wife instituted a criminal case against the husband after he had instituted divorce proceedings. It was observed that the allegations regarding the demand for dowry and cruelty were made for the first time after the institution of divorce proceedings after six years of marriage and she had no will or desire to live with her husband.

Eco-Friendly Fabrication- Sustainable Practices with Duct Folding Machines
In the realm of industrial manufacturing, the quest for sustainability reverberates with renewed urgency. Embracing eco-friendly practices not only benefits our planet but also enhances operational efficiency and fosters a responsible corporate image. Among the array of innovative technologies driving this transformation, duct folding machines stand out as beacons of sustainability.
Duct folding machines are indispensable tools for shaping and fabricating ductwork systems in various industries. By employing advanced techniques, these machines can dramatically reduce material waste and energy consumption. Precision bending and folding capabilities minimize the need for cutting and welding, eliminating the generation of excess scrap metal. Moreover, their automated processes optimize material usage, ensuring that every inch of sheet metal is utilized effectively.
Furthermore, duct folding machines are equipped with energy-efficient motors and lighting systems. The use of brushless DC motors minimizes friction and heat generation, reducing power consumption by up to 70% compared to traditional AC motors. Similarly, LED lighting fixtures provide ample illumination while consuming significantly less energy than incandescent bulbs.
Beyond material and energy conservation, duct folding machines promote a healthier work environment. Traditional duct fabrication methods often involve hazardous chemicals and fumes. However, advanced folding machines employ automated systems that minimize operator exposure to these harmful substances. Ergonomic designs and noise-reducing features further enhance the comfort and safety of manufacturing workers.
In addition to their environmental and health benefits, eco-friendly duct folding machines offer compelling economic advantages. Reduced material consumption lowers production costs, while energy efficiency translates into significant savings on electricity bills. Moreover, the ability to produce ductwork with greater precision and accuracy reduces the time and effort required for installation, contributing to overall project efficiency.
As industries strive to achieve sustainability goals, eco-friendly duct folding machines emerge as essential tools for a more responsible and profitable manufacturing process. By embracing these innovative technologies, we not only protect our planet but also secure a competitive advantage in the global marketplace.

title: 2023 threat dominated ai android

text:
The threat landscape has been bustling in the second half of 2023, according to cybersecurity provider ESET.
In its Threat Report: H2 2023, the firm recorded many significant cybersecurity incidents between June and November 2023, a period dominated by AI-related malicious activity and the emergence of new Android spyware.
According to the report, a new economy has arisen around OpenAI API keys and the ChatGPT name during that period, luring legitimate participants and cybercriminals alike.
ESET telemetry in H2 2023 blocked over 650,000 attempts to access malicious domains whose names include the string ‘chapgpt’ or similar text in an apparent reference to the ChatGPT chatbot.
“While most blocks happened in June, the succeeding months saw website visitors encountering a steady stream of malicious domains superficially offering OpenAI services,” the report reads.
Spyware Surge Amid SpinOk SDK Release
ESET telemetry reported a significant surge in Android spyware detections, rising by 89% during the second half of 2023 compared with the previous reported period.
This is due to a significant number of legitimate Android apps starting to behave as
Spyware in H2. The reason, ESET researchers noted, is a third-party software development kit (SDK) identified by the firm as SpinOk Spyware.
“Surprisingly, this SDK was incorporated into numerous legitimate Android applications, including many available on official app marketplaces. As a result, SpinOk Spyware climbed to seventh place in the Top 10 Android detections for H2 2023, becoming the most prevalent type of Spyware for the period – almost a third of all Spyware detections seen by ESET telemetry consisted of SpinOk,” the researchers wrote.
Lukáš Štefanko, a senior malware researcher at ESET, commented: “The SpinOk case serves as a reminder for app developers about the need for caution when deciding to incorporate third-party technology into their apps. It’s common for developers to be approached by third-party tech providers, but it’s crucial to evaluate these technologies thoroughly to ensure that they are secure and suitable for their apps.”
“Ensuring the security of an SDK involves a series of steps, starting with a comprehensive investigation of the provider’s reliability. This involves understanding the SDK’s functionality, examining its documentation, and, if feasible, scrutinizing the source code for any anomalies,” he added.
Štefanko also provided specific recommendations to prevent this type of threat. These include:
- Conducting a test in a safe environment before integrating an SDK into apps to assess its behavior and performance
- Using static analysis tools to unearth unwanted behaviors and potential vulnerabilities
- Keeping an eye on network traffic to spot any unexpected data transfers
- Scanning your own apps after a test integration with the third-party SDK under consideration
- Verifying whether the SDK or its provider has any security certifications or audits
- Getting feedback from developer forums or groups about the said SDK
MOVEit Ripple Effect Still Felt
The MOVEit supply chain attack had a significant ripple effect throughout H2. According to cybersecurity provider Emsisoft, the hack has impacted almost 2700 organizations at the time of writing.
It was among the most impactful events of the year's second half, ESET observed.
Jakub Souček, another ESET senior malware researcher, commented that the MOVEit hack was one of the stories that stood out the most during 2023.
“It wasn’t just the size of the campaign that made it so prominent,” he commented, “But also the technical proficiency of the Clop gang that was behind the attack. These threat actors demonstrated they can find a new zero-day vulnerability, weaponize it, and wait for the opportune moment to deploy it.”
“In 2024, we expect most of the outlined trends to continue, with current major players focusing on expansion of their affiliate programs. By employing other cybercriminals within their schemes, notable families will limit the space for the emergence of new competitors,” he added.
No Cryptocurrency Threat Trend
Other significant highlights observed by ESET included Magecart e-commerce cyber-attacks, botnets such as the internet-of-things-specific (IoT) Mozi and the Android TV boxes savvy Pandora, and a rapidly emerging cryptostealer called Lumma Stealer.
Finally, ESET noted that the increasing value of Bitcoin has not been accompanied by a corresponding increase in cryptocurrency threats, diverging from past trends.

title: Crystal fighters cave rave

text:
Crystal Fighters’ first launched into the ears of audiences with their highly experimental debut Star of Love; an album that was brimming with variety, but at the sacrifice of a coherent sound. With their new album Cave Rave, the band appears to have discovered a significant direction while still showing that there is room for improvement and progression with this. The sheer volume of influences and genres covered by their debut has been honed down, while still retaining those elements which make them unique.
Opener ‘Wave’ introduces the listener to the epic sound attempting to dominate the entire album: electronically impatient, the song is overwhelmingly concerned with wrapping up elements of massive proportions into one collective outburst. The scale of this record is shamelessly apparent within its lyrics (“Thousand universes from the mind of one”) and tone; with rumbling distorted synth layered alongside furious percussion and star-bright keyboard. Whereas second track ‘You & I’ serves as a dramatic contrast to its predecessor, with a much more naturalistic and relaxed approach to song-writing. A more focused and intimate experience with much less excursion, the single still manages to uphold the same grandiose tone as ‘Wave’.
Third track ‘L.A Calling’ slides in with a very slick electric guitar entrance, paving the way for a modern twist upon the Fighters signature traditional Spanish Basque roots, by combining this cosmopolitan shift with Latino percussion and backing vocals. Having such a demanding and all-encompassing track as this is unsurprising, as the group are clearly monopolising on their impressive live presence. Next track ‘Separator’ showcases Sebastian’s unique vocal tone, seemingly inspired by a punk-like American drawl infused with an exotic Spanish finish; this vocal style fuses harmoniously with the song’s satisfying rock dimensions, which in turn clash with an undeniably electronic dance vibe.
The two tracks that really stand out within the album’s second half are ‘Bridge of Bones’ and ‘Love Natural’, each for systematically different reasons. Proving to be an upbeat complimentary combination of keyboard and percussion, ‘Love Natural’ stands out with its sinfully intoxicating western European chorus. Whereas ‘Bridge of Bones’ originates from humble beginnings, with a stripped down vocal spotlight and piano accompaniment. The use of rise and fall in Sebastian’s voice paints the emotional canvas with a distant sense of isolation and melancholy, which flows subtly with the gentle rhythms and electronic aspects. However the end does, unfortunately, drag ever so slightly, with the length feeling needless and marring an otherwise excellent song. In fact, the final song ‘Everywhere’ also suffers from repetition within its outro sequence, making the album’s ending a little lack lustre.
In essence, Cave Rave is innovative yet traditional, influential yet influenced, panoramic yet intimate, experimental yet also driven. It is clear that this was and is an ambitious project for Crystal Fighters; after all, trying to focus their many artistic elements into one holistic record is no easy task and for the most part they succeed. I’m entirely convinced Cave Rave is one of those albums designed to grow on me, yet there are still parts that underwhelm, revealing that although Crystal Fighters have achieved much, excitingly, their quest is not over.


title: 21266 sect evacuates former resort in spring glen

text:
Spring Glen - It was just after 4 p.m. Sunday when the school buses pulled out of the driveway and onto Phillipsport Road. A Penske moving truck pulled up alongside one of the main buildings, its empty trailer ready to be filled with belongings.
Moving day had finally come to the former Homowack Lodge, as the Hasidic sect occupying the resort vacated before the 5 p.m. deadline imposed by a judge last week.
It's the end of a month-long standoff between Congregation Bais Trana, who were operating a girls' camp at the site, and state, local and emergency officials, who condemned the site as a safety hazard.
One man from Brooklyn, who gave his name as Y Cohen, still questioned why the state forced out the congregation.
"The place is not so bad," said Cohen, who spent weekends at the camp with his four children, who had stayed there all summer. "It's a huge place. I'm not a health expert, but I feel safe.
"The prosecutor, the (fire) chief, the local people ... they don't want to have us here."
Emergency personnel have described the resort, now called Machne Bnos Square, a serious fire hazard and cited the congregation for numerous code and health and safety violations. The state Department of Health ordered the group to vacate the grounds on July 27, but they refused.
Last Tuesday, Judge Burton Ledina ordered the congregation to leave by 5 p.m. Thursday. On Thursday, Ledina pushed the deadline back to 5 p.m. Sunday.
"I hope during the year they fix it up so it's OK next summer," Cohen said.
As campers continued to load their belongings, Ava and Barry Lynn of Spring Glen pulled their car over on Phillipsport Road. They worked at the Homowack back in the 1970s and spoke fondly of its past. As he looked at the dilapidated buildings and grounds, Barry Lynn shook his head.
"It's terrible how this place has gotten," he said.

Our Manufacturing Process Part IV
A cutting tool has one or more sharp cutting edges and is made of a material that is harder than the work material. The cutting edge serves to separate chip from the parent work material. Connected to the cutting edge are the two surfaces of the tool: The rake face; and The flank. The rake face which directs the flow of newly formed chip, is oriented at a certain angle is called the rake angle “α”. Read More -
Our Manufacturing Process Part III
Machining is any process in which a cutting tool is used to remove small chips of material from the workpiece (the workpiece is often called the “work”). To perform the operation, relative motion is required between the tool and the work. This relative motion is achieved in most machining operation by means of a primary motion, called “cutting speed” and a secondary motion called “feed”. The shape of the tool and its penetration into the work surface, combined with these motions, produce the desired shape of the resulting work surface. Read More -
Our Manufacturing Process Part II
The three principal machining processes are classified as turning, drilling and milling. Other operations falling into miscellaneous categories include shaping, planing, boring, broaching and sawing. Turning operations are operations that rotate the workpiece as the primary method of moving metal against the cutting tool. Lathes are the principal machine tool used in turning. Milling operations are operations in which the cutting tool rotates to bring cutting edges to bear against the workpiece. Read More


title: Searchlearn

text:
The search box lets you specify one or more words, to be searched for on this web site. Multiple words must be separated by whitespace.
The search is case insensitive: upper and lower case are considered equal, but see below for an exception. Singular and plural are different. Do not use any punctuation marks, hyphens, quotes etc., but split your query up into separate words as much as possible.
Don't use accented characters in words to be searched. Map them as follows: áäà→a, ćç→c, éëè→e, óöò→o, ü→u
Words containing (other) characters outside the ASCII range (e.g. accented characters not mentioned in the previous paragraph, or £, € ...) are only supported in a strictly case sensitive way. This is work in progress. In combination with the wish to operate case insensitive, proper handling of accented characters is very complicated.
Words that appear in an excessive amount of pages (over 500) of this site were eliminated from the search database. The reason for this is that such a word would produce so many hits that your answer would be diluted to the point that it would become useless. They will be ignored in your search query, and an appropriate notification will appear.
If a page has been selected for display (without the help of these words), these words will be highlighted if they happen to be present in that page.
The search database does not contain any patterns that are non-words, such as plain numbers (e.g. years and page numbers). Care has been taken to preserve car registration numbers, publication numbers, VIN-numbers, etc.
If you precede a word in your query with a hyphen (e.g. -Benz) all pages containing that word will be suppressed.
Grouping a range of words within double-quotes (") will search for pages containing these words adjacent to each other in exactly the given sequence. But this facility has a catch in performance; as we will explain below.
Hyphens inside a group are ignored. It is allowed to precede an entire group with a hyphen.
The search database contains all words from the web site, but has each word in isolation. Relationships between words, such as adjacency, can only be determined by (re-)scanning the page files themselves. Scanning a page just before it has to be displayed is no problem. But imagine how much capacity is wasted if the software first has to find out that, say, 1218 pages fit the search profile (by scanning many more), and then the reader quits after he has seen the first result list of 20. These large scale scans could require dozens of seconds of the full capacity of the server computer.
Therefore the following compromise has been taken: the "total results" count that is displayed above each result page, is calculated as if each word of your search was given in isolation. So that count will probably be too high, and the text "(... or less)" will be displayed with it. When the result list pages are being built, a closer look at the web pages will eliminate the ones that do not have the proper adjacency relationship. Then the value of the counter will shrink on the fly, and may very well shrink to zero. In summary: when your search does contain double quotes (") for word grouping, the initial "total number of pages found" count will be too high. It will shrink on the fly. Have you ever noticed that e.g. Google shows this same "shrink on the fly" effect?


title: Causes of periodontal disease

text:
Periodontal disease, which is also known as gum disease and periodontitis, is a progressive disease which, if left untreated, may result in tooth loss. Gum disease begins with the inflammation and irritation of the gingival tissues which surround and support the teeth. The cause of this inflammation is the toxins found in plaque which cause an ongoing bacterial infection.
The bacterial infection colonizes in the gingival tissue, and deep pockets form between the teeth and the gums. If treated promptly by a periodontist, the effects of mild inflammation (known as gingivitis) are completely reversible. However, if the bacterial infection is allowed to progress, periodontal disease begins to destroy the gums and the underlying jawbone, promoting tooth loss. In some cases, the bacteria from this infection can travel to other areas of the body via the bloodstream.
Common Causes of Gum Disease
There are genetic and environmental factors involved in the onset of gum disease, and in many cases, the risk of developing periodontitis can be significantly lowered by taking preventative measures.
Here are some of the most common causes of gum disease:
Poor dental hygiene - Preventing dental disease starts at home with good oral hygiene and a balanced diet. Prevention also includes regular dental visits which include exams, cleanings, and x-rays. A combination of excellent home care and professional dental care will preserve the natural dentition and support of bony structures. When bacteria and calculus (tartar) are not removed, the gums and bone around the teeth become affected by bacterial toxins and can cause gingivitis or periodontitis, which ultimately lead to tooth loss.
Tobacco use – Research has indicated that smoking and tobacco use are some of the most significant factors in the development and progression of gum disease. In addition to smokers experiencing a slower recovery and healing rate, smokers are far more likely to suffer from calculus (tartar) build-up on teeth, deep pockets in the gingival tissue, and significant bone loss.
Genetic predisposition – Despite practicing rigorous oral hygiene routines, as much as 30% of the population may have a strong genetic predisposition to gum disease. These individuals are six times more likely to develop periodontal disease than individuals with no genetic predisposition. Genetic tests can be used to determine susceptibility and early intervention can be performed to keep the oral cavity healthy.
Pregnancy and menopause – During pregnancy, regular brushing and flossing is critical. Hormonal changes experienced by the body can cause the gum tissue to become more sensitive, rendering them more susceptible to gum disease.
Chronic stress and poor diet – Stress lowers the ability of the immune system to fight off disease which means bacterial infection can beat the body’s defense system. Poor diet or malnutrition can also lower the body’s ability to fight periodontal infections, as well as negatively affecting the health of the gums.
Diabetes and underlying medical issues – Many medical conditions can intensify or accelerate the onset and progression of gum disease including respiratory disease, heart disease, arthritis and osteoporosis. Diabetes hinders the body’s ability to utilize insulin which makes the bacterial infection in the gums more difficult to control and cure.
Grinding teeth – The clenching or grinding of teeth can significantly damage the supporting tissue surrounding the teeth. Grinding one’s teeth is usually associated with a “bad bite” or the misalignment of the teeth. When an individual is suffering from gum disease, the additional destruction of gingival tissue due to grinding can accelerate the progression of the disease.
Medication – Many drugs including oral contraceptive pills, heart medicines, anti-depressants, and steroids affect the overall condition of teeth and gums, making them more susceptible to gum disease. Steroid use promotes gingival overgrowth, which makes swelling more commonplace and allows bacteria to colonize more readily in the gum tissue.
Treatment of Gum Disease
Periodontists specialize in the treatment of gum disease and the placement of dental implants. A periodontist can perform effective cleaning procedures in deep pockets such as scaling and root planing; they can also prescribe antibiotic and antifungal medications to treat infection and halt the progression of the disease.
In the case of tooth loss, the periodontist is able to perform tissue grafts to promote natural tissue regeneration, and insert dental implants if a tooth or several teeth are missing. Where gum recession causes a “toothy” looking smile, the periodontist can recontour the gingival tissue to create an even and aesthetically pleasing appearance.
Preventing periodontal disease is critical in preserving the natural dentition. Addressing the causes of gum disease and discussing them with your dentist will help prevent the onset, progression, and recurrence of periodontal disease.
If you have any questions or concerns about the causes or treatments pertaining to gum disease, please ask your dentist.

While Anıl Piyancı's actual net worth is not publicly reported, networthspot.com sources online data to make an estimate of $923.8 thousand.
The $923.8 thousand forecast is only based on YouTube advertising revenue. Meaning, Anıl Piyancı's net worth may really be more. When we consider many income sources, Anıl Piyancı's net worth could be as high as $1.3 million.
There’s one question that every Anıl Piyancı fan out there just can’t seem to get their head around: How much does Anıl Piyancı earn?
On average, Anıl Piyancı's YouTube channel receives 3.8 million views a month, and around 128.3 thousand views a day.
If a channel is monetized through ads, it earns money for every thousand video views. YouTubers can earn an average of between $3 to $7 per thousand video views. With this data, we predict the Anıl Piyancı YouTube channel generates $15.4 thousand in ad revenue a month and $230.9 thousand a year.
$230.9 thousand a year may be a low estimate though. On the higher end, Anıl Piyancı might make as much as $415.7 thousand a year.
However, it's unusual for YouTube stars to rely on a single source of revenue. Additional revenue sources like sponsorships, affiliate commissions, product sales and speaking gigs may generate much more revenue than ads.

Essential Functional Details in Yoga Wear Design: Elevating Your Practice Experience
Aug 15, 2024
When it comes to yoga, the right attire can significantly impact your comfort and performance. Choosing yoga wear with functional design details ensures that you can focus fully on your practice. In this blog, we’ll explore some of the most common functional features found in high-quality yoga wear, including quick-dry technology, anti-static properties, and moisture-wicking capabilities. Whether you're shopping for ladies activewear sets or a ladies sports bra, these features can make a world of difference.
Quick-Dry Technology: Keeping You Comfortable
Quick-dry technology is a must-have in yoga wear. This feature allows the fabric to dry rapidly after absorbing sweat, keeping you comfortable and dry throughout your session. Quick-drying fabrics are usually made of synthetic fibers like polyester or nylon, which are designed to move moisture to the surface of the fabric, where it evaporates quickly.
Anti-Static Properties: Reducing Discomfort
Yoga wear with anti-static properties is designed to minimize the build-up of static electricity, which can cause fabrics to cling uncomfortably to your body. Anti-static treatments are typically applied to the fabric during the manufacturing process, ensuring that your clothes stay smooth and comfortable, even during high-energy practices.
Moisture-Wicking Capabilities: Staying Cool and Dry
Moisture-wicking is another essential feature in yoga wear. This technology works by pulling sweat away from your skin and onto the outer surface of the fabric, where it can evaporate more easily. This not only helps to keep you dry but also regulates your body temperature during intense yoga sessions.
Breathability: Enhancing Airflow
Breathable fabrics are crucial in yoga wear design. These fabrics allow air to circulate freely, helping to regulate your body temperature and prevent overheating. Breathable materials are often lightweight and have a natural stretch, allowing you to move freely and comfortably during your practice.
Stretchability: Supporting Flexibility
The stretchability of yoga wear is vital for maintaining comfort and range of motion. Fabrics like spandex or elastane are commonly used in yoga attire because they offer excellent stretch and recovery, allowing the clothing to move with your body without losing shape. This feature is particularly important for maintaining a full range of motion in poses.
Odor-Resistance: Maintaining Freshness
Odor-resistant fabrics are treated with antimicrobial agents that inhibit the growth of bacteria responsible for unpleasant odors. This feature is particularly beneficial for those who practice hot yoga or engage in long sessions, as it helps keep your yoga wear fresh between washes.
Elevate Your Practice with Functional Yoga Wear
Incorporating these functional details into your yoga wear can enhance your overall experience on the mat. Whether you're selecting ladies activewear sets or a ladies sports bra, prioritizing features like quick-dry technology, anti-static properties, and moisture-wicking capabilities will ensure you stay comfortable, focused, and ready to take on any pose.
