title: Investigation of flood effect on bank erosion of side wall between tehran kan river and ferbet hole

text:
Investigation of flood effect on bank erosion of side wall between Tehran Kan river and ferbet hole.
River have always played a significant role in human’s life in a way that development of agriculture , desire for industrialization and urbanization could not have been possible without rivers . Since 1950 s the construction of structures, water control and convergence structures, bridges and structures crossing the rivers increased, and as a consequence the flow regime , sediment and the trend of rivers topographic and morphological changes altered greatly . Bank erosion play an important role in the alluvial river and its bed load concentration , while it is also considered on of the human threats in river engineering . Another phenomenon that causes changes in sediment transport rates is flooding, which naturally increases with erosion and increasing flow velocity, erosion power of the river, and in addition, sedimentation rates in lower slope areas will increase. For this purpose, bank erosion of river and hydraulic changes during flood was investigated by using CCHE2D ( National Center for Computational Hydroscience and Engineering, two dimensional ) model.
In this study the morphological change of river’s bed and bank was studied.The study area is about 4 km. The change mentioned are due to flood with 25 years return period which were studied in unsteady flow. Two-dimensional depth averaged CCHE-Mesh software was used for meshing and construction of the study area topography and CCHE2D model was used to simulate hydrodynamic , sediment transport and bank erosion . And CCHE has the ability to simulate one, two and three-dimensional flow in aquatic zones , especially natural rivers in steady and unsteady state . In addition , simulation of flow Hydrodynamics in alluvial streams and rivers , simulation of sediment transport in non-uniform sediment distribution mode , investigation of changes and retreats of riverbanks are among the model capabilities . Furthermore the possibility of the right bank erosion and change in flows direction due to the walls breaking was also studied. In this research, by using the model, the sensitivity of the flow characteristics namely water depth and flow velocity and sediment transport and result of bank erosion , in the River, are investigated in respect to the various Manning's roughness coefficient and three turbulent models i.e. two zero equation eddy viscosity models,depth averaged parabolic model , depth averaged mixing length model and k - e standard model that is based on two equation eddy viscosity models.
The novelty of this study is to investigate the bank erosion and the possibility of failure of the river bank wall in the study area in the flood with a 25 years return period in unsteady state. The results of erosion and sedimentation at different coefficients of manning and three different eddy viscosity models indicate that the overall erosion and sedimentation process is almost same for all of these different conditions, but there is a significant difference in their values and the amount of them . Finally, by comparing the erosion process that occurred in study area, the mixing length eddy viscosity model yielded the closest response, followed by simulations. In unsteady hydrograph of water level there is no significant change in the ratio of change in resistance coefficient . with change of about 50 percent , this coefficient of water level changes only about 10 percent and since the depth of river in the river for 25 returns is about It is one meter,It means that changes of about 10 cm is negligible. The results indicated the erosion of right bank of river after rail way near hole is happen. This erosion may result in the destruction of bank and lead the rivers flow to hole (in 25 years return period flood, for unsteady flow, erosion prevailed over sedimentation). Furthermore the high speed of flow in chute domain result in demolition of it’s structure. In bridge, extreme erosion may cause bridge to collapse. Also considerable erosion happen after Chute, in stilling basin and river bed . The velocity of about 12 m / s in the stilling basin is beyond the tolerance of the concrete structure and is likely to be eroded and destroyed.
Finally, in flood with 25 years return period after erosion and fracture of the coastal wall of River, part of the water flow diverts to the hole, initially causing water to enter in the hole , also cause the flow lines to reduce and this means to increase velocity and more erosion in bed and banks of river. A breakdown point that decreases the water level reduces the flow depth, increases the speed and ultimately increases the erosion and flooding power of the flood stream. In addition to the river bed and banks,the structure such as the chute is also damaged due to the high velocity of the flow when the flood passes over it.

Enhanced User Experience
One of the primary advantages of ReactJS web development is its ability to create dynamic and interactive user interfaces. By utilizing a component-based architecture React allows developers to break down complex UIs into smaller, reusable components. This modular approach not only enhances code maintainability but also facilitates rapid prototyping and iteration.
Efficiency Through Virtual DOM
At the heart of ReactJS lies its Virtual DOM (Document Object Model) – a lightweight representation of the actual DOM. Unlike traditional web development approaches that manipulate the entire DOM upon every state change React selectively updates only the components that have changed. This minimizes unnecessary re-rendering, resulting in significant performance improvements and a smoother user experience.
Seamless Integration with Existing Projects
Whether you’re starting a new project from scratch or integrating ReactJS into an existing codebase, the library offers seamless compatibility. Its flexibility enables developers to introduce React components gradually, allowing for a smooth transition without disrupting the overall architecture. This adaptability makes ReactJS an ideal choice for projects of any scale or complexity.
Support for Server-Side Rendering
In addition to client-side rendering, ReactJS also supports server-side rendering (SSR). SSR enables web pages to load faster by generating HTML on the server and sending a fully rendered page to the client. This not only improves initial page load times but also enhances search engine optimization (SEO) by ensuring content is readily crawlable. With ReactJS, developers can harness the power of SSR to deliver blazing-fast web experiences.
Robust Ecosystem and Community Support
Another compelling reason to choose ReactJS for web development is its thriving ecosystem and strong community support. From state management libraries like Redux to comprehensive toolkits like Next.js, ReactJS offers a vast array of extensions and utilities to streamline development workflows. Moreover, the active community provides ample resources, tutorials, and troubleshooting assistance, empowering developers to overcome challenges and stay up-to-date with best practices.

title: Maximize rehabilitation outcomes with home physiotherapy services

text:
In recent years, the healthcare landscape has witnessed a remarkable transformation. With the advent of technology and an increasing emphasis on personalized care, home physiotherapy services have emerged as groundbreaking solutions for patients seeking convenient and effective treatment options. This article delves into the world of home physiotherapy services, exploring the benefits they offer and their potential to revolutionize the way we approach healthcare.
Unleashing the Power of Convenience:
One of the primary advantages of home physiotherapy services is the unparalleled convenience they provide. Gone are the days when patients had to endure lengthy commutes and wait times at clinics or hospitals. With the tap of a button, individuals can now schedule sessions with certified physiotherapists who will visit them in the comfort of their own homes. This level of convenience not only saves time and energy but also eliminates barriers that may hinder individuals with mobility issues or chronic conditions from accessing crucial therapy.
Tailored Treatment for Optimal Outcomes:
Home physiotherapy services empower patients by offering personalized treatment plans that cater to their unique needs. Unlike traditional clinic-based physiotherapy, where therapists often have limited time to spend with each patient, home physiotherapy services in Singapore allow for more focused attention and a longer duration of therapy. This individualized approach enables physiotherapists to better understand the patient’s specific challenges and develop comprehensive treatment strategies that yield optimal outcomes. Moreover, the familiarity of the home environment promotes a sense of comfort, contributing to improved patient engagement and overall satisfaction.
The Bursting Paradigm of Flexibility:
A notable aspect of home physiotherapy services is the flexibility they offer. By bringing therapy to the doorstep, patients have the freedom to choose sessions that fit seamlessly into their daily routines. This flexibility is particularly beneficial for individuals with busy schedules, working professionals, or those residing in remote areas where access to healthcare facilities may be limited. With home-based physiotherapy, patients can conveniently integrate therapy into their lives, ensuring consistency and enhancing the chances of a successful recovery.
Embracing Technology for Enhanced Care:
Technology plays a pivotal role in the evolution of home physiotherapy services. Through the use of telemedicine platforms, patients can now connect with physiotherapists remotely, receiving real-time guidance and monitoring from the comfort of their homes. These virtual consultations allow for ongoing assessment, progress tracking, and immediate adjustments to treatment plans when necessary. Additionally, advanced wearable devices and mobile applications empower patients to actively participate in their rehabilitation process, promoting self-management and enabling physiotherapists to monitor progress even between sessions.
As the healthcare landscape continues to evolve, home physiotherapy services are poised to become a cornerstone of patient-centered care. By leveraging convenience, personalized treatment, flexibility, and technological advancements, these services break down barriers and empower individuals to take control of their own health. The future holds immense potential for further integration of home physiotherapy services into the mainstream healthcare system, offering a holistic approach that promotes overall wellness and improves the quality of life for countless patients worldwide. Let us embrace this paradigm shift and unlock the transformative power of home physiotherapy services.

title: 1.6 demokrati og medvirkning

text:
The teaching and training shall promote belief in democratic values and in democracy as a form of government. It shall give the pupils an understanding of the basic rules of democracy and the importance of protecting them. Participating in society means respecting and endorsing fundamental democratic values, such as mutual respect, tolerance, individual freedom of faith and speech, and free elections. Democratic values shall be promoted through active participation throughout the entire learning path.
School shall promote democratic values and attitudes that can counteract prejudice and discrimination. Pupils shall learn in school to respect the fact that people are different and learn to solve conflicts peacefully.
A democratic society is based on the idea that all citizens have equal rights and opportunities to participate in the decision-making processes. Protecting the minority is an important principle in a democratic state governed by law and in a democratic society. A democratic state also protects indigenous peoples and minorities. The indigenous- people perspective is part of the pupils' education in democracy. All the participants in the school environment must develop awareness of minority and majority perspectives and ensure that there is room for collaboration, dialogue and disagreement. Nurturing diversity on the one hand and including the individual on the other demands awareness of values and the exercising of professional judgment.
The school must be a venue where children and young people experience democracy in practice. The pupils must experience that they are heard in the day-to-day affairs in school, that they have genuine influence and that they can have impact on matters that concern them. They must gain experience and practise different forms of democratic participation in the day-to-day work with their subjects, and through such bodies as pupil councils and advisory bodies. The dialogue between teacher and pupils, and between the school and the home, must be based on mutual respect. When the voices of the pupils are heard in school, they will experience how they can make their own considered
decisions. Such experiences have a value in the here and now, and prepare the pupils for becoming responsible citizens in society.

title: Smooth criminal michael jackson song meaning lyrics explained

text:
Smooth Criminal was the seventh Top 10 song from Michael Jackson’s Bad album, but it wasn’t until years later it got the full recognition it deserved. Though the lyrics touch on some dark subject matter, the track was received well thanks to the uptempo beat, strong pulsating beat, and his flawless vocal performance. But what exactly is the song about and is there any truth to the story?
So What Is The Song Really About?
Smooth Criminal isn’t a track that throws metaphors about and ends up leaving the listener to figure out the meaning on their own. Frankly, it’s a mostly self-explanatory song that tells the story of a woman named Annie. And the best way to hear the story is to just take a look at the lyrics.
The track opens with a fast tempo, and while it might not match the heavy subject matter, it perfectly mirrors the story as it plays out from both the perspective of the woman and those rushing to try to save her.
The first verse describes the attack in more detail than one would expect from a pop song in 1988. The attacker crashes through the window, leaving behind a bit of blood while the terrified Annie runs away and is eventually struck down in her room.
The refrain of the track asks over and over if she is okay, though why this happens is another matter altogether.
Jackson took the inspiration for the name Annie from the model dolls used to teach CPR called Resusci Anne. One of the things people who take CPR classes are taught is to ask the person if they’re okay to verify whether or not they happen to be unconscious. During training, they must ask “Annie, are you okay?” quite a bit, leading to the inspiration for the chorus of Smooth Criminal.
The second verse breaks in from the perspective of first responders discovering Annie after the attack. The responders piece together what has happened and move to try to save her, though they likely are unsuccessful.
This song is entirely fictional and hasn’t ever been stated to be about an actual event. That being said, it’s an amazing portrayal of the events in the track in almost every aspect.
The tempo of the lyrical delivery matches the heartbeat-style beat to create a frantic emotion. This works for both Annie running away from the attacking criminal and the responders who show up on the scene and try to save her. The King of Pop’s high notes are pitch-perfect for a terrified person who just arrived on the scene.
Repeating “Annie, are you okay?” over and over also gets across the panic the responders must have felt when they arrived and saw what had happened. It’s almost like the shock of the crime has forced the attending medics to default to their basic training for CPR and just keep asking if she is okay, even though they never get a response.
The History Accompanying “Smooth Criminal”
Smooth Criminal didn’t come about by accident, and it definitely wasn’t Jackson’s first stab at music with more of an edge. The song itself is the completed and polished version of another one of his tracks meant for the Bad album in Al Capone. This song didn’t make the cut until later rereleases of the album but served as the beta version of the full Smooth Criminal.
Al Capone loosely references the Chicago gangster and set the stage for Jackson to come up with his own lyrical narrative in Smooth Criminal.
The original music video for Smooth Criminal was released on MTV in 1988 and was a little over nine minutes in length. It would go on to win three different awards for Best Music Video from the Brit Awards, People’s Choice Awards, and Critic’s Choice Awards.
The music video was also the first time Jackson performed the “anti-gravity lean.” Basically, the dancers keep their feet flat on the ground while leaning forward at a 45-degree angle at the ankles. It’s a physically impossible move that puts their center of gravity too far forward to allow them to keep standing.
In the music video, the move was achieved via the use of cables and harnesses. By 1993 though, the move was being performed live in concert by Jackson. To achieve it on stage, he and his team had to wear shoes with hooks that could lock into pegs on the stage. It allowed them to perform the move without falling, but it still requires an incredible amount of core strength to pull off.
Smooth Criminal would go on to be named the sixth-best Michael Jackson song by Rolling Stone magazine, the best track from his Bad album by Newsweek, and the second-best song on the album by Entertainment Weekly.
The track would peak on the Billboard Hot 100 at the number seven spot and hit the number two spot on the Billboard Hot Black Singles chart.
“Smooth Criminal” Covers and Inspirations
With any popular song, you can expect some other bands or singers to cover it. Smooth Criminal is no exception with both Alien Ant Farm and 2CELLOS doing their own versions of it.
The cast of Glee also performed a version of Smooth Criminal on the 11th episode of season three. Santana and Sebastian perform the track like a duel while she is trying to get a confession out of him over what he put in a slushie that was thrown at Blaine. The duo 2CELLOS is actually playing the music for this one, though their own cover of the song is the one we showed above.
The anthology film Moonwalker included a short film called Smooth Criminal that made up a central portion of the film. It included additional lyrics that weren’t included in the song on the Bad album and an extended musical section.
The track was also used as the background music for round two of the Michael Jackson’s Moonwalker arcade game. Clips from the music video are used for some of his dance attack animations in the game, and he appears at the end of the game in his signature white hat and clothing from the Smooth Criminal music video.

title: Prenuptial agreement template texas

text:
When two people decide to get married, they typically don`t expect the marriage to end in divorce. However, it`s important to acknowledge the possibility and take proactive steps to protect each person`s assets and interests. This is where prenuptial agreements come into play.
A prenuptial agreement, also known as a prenup, is a legal document that outlines the division of assets and other important information in the event of a divorce. In Texas, prenuptial agreements are recognized as legally binding contracts and can be an effective tool for protecting your assets and interests.
If you`re considering creating a prenuptial agreement in Texas, there are several key things to keep in mind. First and foremost, it`s important to work with an experienced attorney who can help you navigate the legal process and ensure that your agreement is comprehensive and enforceable.
Once you have hired an attorney, you can start working on the prenuptial agreement itself. A prenup can cover a wide range of topics, including property division, spousal support, and even custody and visitation arrangements for any children from a previous relationship.
To ensure that your prenup is comprehensive and covers all necessary topics, it can be helpful to start with a prenuptial agreement template. A prenup template can serve as a starting point for creating your agreement and can help ensure that all important topics are addressed.
When looking for a prenuptial agreement template in Texas, it`s important to ensure that the template is specific to Texas law. Different states have different laws surrounding prenups, so using a template from another state can lead to issues down the road.
Fortunately, there are many prenuptial agreement templates available specifically for Texas residents. These templates can be found online or through an attorney, and can be customized to meet your specific needs and circumstances.
Overall, creating a prenuptial agreement in Texas can be an important step in protecting both your assets and your future. By working with an experienced attorney and using a Texas-specific prenup template, you can create an agreement that is comprehensive, enforceable, and tailored to your unique needs.

title: Replacing the brake drum and rear wheel pads gazelle next

text:
We replace the rear wheel pads in case of damage, oiling and wear of the pads to a thickness of less than 1 mm.
Check the condition of the friction linings of the brake pads through the inspection hole, after removing the plug
We replace the drum if it is damaged, cracked, or the working surface is worn out up to a diameter of more than 283 mm.
We replace all four rear wheel pads at the same time.
Brake drums are machined complete with hubs, so we install the removed drums only in their original places.
The factory manual recommends turning new drums assembled with the hub before installing them on the car.
Never press the brake pedal after removing the brake drum.
Remove the rear wheels.
Using a large slotted screwdriver, unscrew the three screws securing the brake drum to the hub.
You can use an impact screwdriver
Remove the drum.
If it is difficult to remove the drum, you need to bring the pads together.
In case of a tight fit or “sticking” of the drum to the hub, you can compress it by screwing two M10 bolts into special holes.
Use a hook or thin pliers to remove the end of the return spring from the hole in the rear brake shoe.
It is more convenient to use a special device for this.
From the inside of the brake shield with one hand, press the cap of the rear brake shoe rod, with the other hand on the cup, compressing the spring.
Turn the spring cup 90°.
This will align the notch on the cup with the axle tip.
Remove cups with spring
We take out the rod (soldier) from the hole in the brake shield
By turning the rear shoe, remove the lower return spring
Remove the parking brake lever from the tip of the cable.
Similarly, remove the fastening of the front brake pad to the brake shield, and remove the front pad
Remove the return spring from the block and the spring from the spacer rod.
Using the “17” key, we unscrew the nut that fastens the rod to the block
Remove the parts of the parking brake adjustment mechanism.
Using pliers, unpin the nut securing the parking brake lever.
Holding the fastening bolt with the “17” key, unscrew the nut with the same key
We take out the bolt and remove the fastening parts of the parking brake lever to the shoe
We rearrange the removed parts to new pads.
We install new brake pads in reverse order, after which we adjust the gap between the pads and the brake drum.
We install the drum, lubricating its landing belt with SHRUS-4 grease or graphite grease.
If you have difficulty installing the brake drum, bring the shoes together by turning the eccentric counterclockwise as far as it will go.
We install the wheels and press the brake pedal several times to self-install the elements of the brake mechanisms.
We finally tighten the wheel nuts with the car standing on the ground, evenly crosswise with a torque of 300-380 Nm.

Check Your Diabetes Risk with the SELFCheck Glucose Test Kit
This blood glucose level test kit offers a sterile, rapid way to determine if your blood glucose levels are within normal limits. Diabetes, which affects over 2 million people in the UK, often develops silently and can lead to serious health issues like kidney failure if left untreated. This test is especially important for adults over 40 and those who are overweight, as they are at higher risk.
High blood glucose levels, often caused by diets rich in processed sugars, can lead to diabetes. Monitoring these levels is crucial to preventing complications such as blood vessel, kidney, and eyesight problems. The rising trend of diabetes in the UK makes regular testing even more important.
Our diabetes home test kit is recommended for everyone, particularly adults aged 40+ and individuals with high cholesterol, who are at increased risk for arteriosclerosis.
To use the test, simply wash your hands, use the lancet on your fingertip, draw a drop of blood, and place it on the test strip. Cover your finger with the provided plaster and wait 60 seconds for the test strip to change colour, indicating your result. For optimal accuracy, perform the test on an empty stomach, as meals can temporarily raise blood sugar levels.
Blood glucose levels are measured in millimoles per litre (mmol/l) and naturally fluctuate throughout the day, being highest after meals and lowest in the morning. Regular monitoring helps maintain these levels within a healthy range. The frequency of testing depends on factors such as lifestyle, physical activity, and medical conditions like high cholesterol, but annual checks are beneficial for healthy individuals.
If your blood glucose levels are outside the normal range, consult your doctor. Always seek professional medical advice before making any health decisions based on your test results.

Freeport LNG export plant in Texas (U.S.) on track to exit outage on Wed.
U.S. liquefied natural gas (LNG) company Freeport LNG's export plant in Texas was on track to take in more natural gas on Wednesday after shutting on Tuesday, a sign the plant was exiting an outage, according to gas flow data from financial firm LSEG.
Officials at Freeport LNG had no comment.
In a report to Texas environmental regulators late on Tuesday, Freeport said the three liquefaction trains at the export plant shut Tuesday morning due to an incoming power feed interruption.
Power problems - especially during storms - have shut Freeport in the past, and there were storms in the area on Tuesday.
Freeport is more sensitive to power outages than other U.S. LNG plants because it uses electric motors instead of gas turbines to drive liquefaction compressors.
Freeport is one of the most closely watched LNG export plants in the world because the start and stop of its operations often cause price swings in global gas markets.
When flows to Freeport drop, gas prices in the U.S. usually decline due to lower demand from the export plant for the fuel. Meanwhile, prices in Europe usually increase due to a drop in LNG supplies available to global markets from the plant.
That is what happened on Tuesday when U.S. gas prices dropped about 3%, and it is what is happening on Wednesday with U.S. gas prices up about 4%.
LSEG said the amount of gas flowing to Freeport was on track to reach 1.8 Bft3d on Wednesday, up from 0.3 Bft3d on Tuesday and an average of 1.9 Bft3d over the prior seven days.
The three liquefaction trains at Freeport are capable of turning about 2.1 Bft3d of gas into LNG.
One Bft3 is enough to supply about 5 MM U.S. homes for a day.
- Three killed, two injured in accident at LNG construction site in Texas (U.S.)
- U.S. ethane exports to China hit new roadblock with license requirement
- Update: How Germany is building up LNG import terminals
- Glencore to offtake 2 MMtpy of LNG from Commonwealth LNG's export facility in Cameron Parish, Louisiana
- Woodside approves $17.5-B U.S. LNG project, targets 2029 start


title: Watch jennifer eliogu teach chinese man how to speak igbo

text:
Actress Jennifer Eliogu has shared a video of herself teaching a Chinese man the Igbo language.
The movie star who is currently in Toronto, posted the video in the early hours of Wednesday, saying that the man tried to make conversations with her in Igbo as they took a ride in an elevator.
In the video, the actress cum singer could be seen asking the Chinese “Kee kwanu?” which means “How are you?” in Igbo to which the man responded. The actress and others in the elevator laughed as the man attempted to speak Igbo.
“My Igbo is not very good,” he said while others laughed.
She wrote: “So I met a Chinese man, he was like a tour guide at the CN tower in Toronto, he asked where I was from seeing we were just two blacks in their mist(my cousin and ), I told him, he asked which part, I told him and in excitement he tried to make conversation in Igbo language. He said he picked up a few lines back home from Igbo guys who used to come to China to buy goods, much as his Igbo wasn’t good, I was quite impressed ….And yet some Igbo people living in Nigeria can’t speak their language…Mtseeeeeew(Long hiss).”
Jennifer Eliogu alongside her colleague Genevieve Nnaji recently attended the premiere of the latter’s latest film I Do Not Come To You By Chance at the Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF).
The film is an adaptation of Adaobi Nwaubani‘s award-winning 2009 novel with the same title.
The movie was directed by Ishaya Bako, the director of The Royal Hibiscus Hotel and Road To Yesterday.
The new movie is co-produced by Chinny Carter and Chioma Onyenwe, while scripting was done by Chika Anadu and Bako.
It stars Paul Nnadiekwe, who makes his debut appearance on the big screen, alongside Blossom Chukwujekwu. Joining them are Jennifer Eliogu, Sambasa Nberibe, and Beverly Osu. It follows a struggling Nigerian graduate whose seemingly sole option involves assisting his dubious uncle’s fraudulent email scam. The film presents its story in both English and Igbo.

title: Organic molecules existed already a million years after the big bang

text:
Scientists studying early galaxies using the James Webb Space Telescope have announced that dust containing carbon-based molecules is already present in them. In particular, scientists have found polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons that are complex enough to be considered organic molecules.
Hydrocarbons in the early Universe
When our Universe was no more than 1 billion years old, there were already quite complex carbon-based molecules in it. This is the conclusion reached by a group of scientists working with the James Webb Space Telescope. With its help, they observed those galaxies that acquired gigantic dimensions just a few hundred million years after the Big Bang.
Scientists have determined that there is already a lot of dust in these systems. This announcement cannot be called particularly sensational. But, according to research, a significant part of it is made up of grains of a material resembling graphite or diamond. And this is quite interesting, because at the very beginning there was not enough carbon for their formation.
The first stars in galaxies appeared only 400 million years after the Big Bang. Therefore, they had a little time to turn into supernovae and enrich the cosmos with compounds containing carbon. By cosmic standards, this should have happened very quickly.
One of the most amazing discoveries made by scientists using James Webb spectrographs was polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons. These molecules, resembling several rings connected together, are complex enough to be sometimes considered organic.
Stars in the early Universe
Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons are not uncommon in modern space. However, until now, scientists believed that for a billion years after the Big Bang, there was no free carbon in such an amount in the Universe. And in order for these molecules to form, Wolf-Rayet stars were needed, which would quickly turn into supernovae.
The luminaries in the young Universe were indeed extremely massive and hot. But whether they were similar to Wolf-Rayet stars, meaning whether they generated supernova explosions forming hydrocarbon-rich dust — remains unclear.
New research supposedly confirms this. But astronomers have certain doubts. The fact is that on the spectrogram the peaks corresponding to polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons and graphite are quite close. And they, while the light is flying towards us for billions of years, can easily move in an unpredictable direction.
Therefore, it is certainly possible that, in fact, such complex molecules in the early galaxies simply did not exist. Although the very fact of the presence of carbon in them cannot but intrigue. James Webb observes earlier dwarf star systems, but the study of dust in them has not yet been conducted.

title: Levodopa carbidopa intestinal gel in patients with deep brain stimulation in parkinsons disease first case series from middle east region

text:
Objective: The objective is to report unique and challenging cases, who had successful control of Parkinson’s disease (PD) symptoms with combination therapy of Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS) of bilateral subthalamic nucleus (STN) and Levodopa Carbidopa Intestinal Gel pump therapy (LCIG).
Background: DBS is a well-established treatment modality for PD patients, especially, young- onset. As the disease progresses, it becomes challenging to control the symptoms, mostly axial symptoms such as retropulsion and gait disturbances, and stimulation related side-effects. Adjunctive LCIG therapy can help control the DBS refractory symptoms.
Method: Cases from UAE and Saudi-Arabia
Results: First case is a 47-years-old male known to have young-onset PD at age of 35 years. He had progressive symptoms of rigidity, bradykinesia and tremor, started on right side which progressed to the left side, with difficulty walking. Patient had good response to dopaminergic medications and later developed fluctuations. At age 42, patient had DBS of bilateral STN with good results with improvement in motor symptoms. At age 47, patient had worsening of symptoms with prominent retropulsion, bradykinesia, foot dystonia and eventually became wheelchair-bound. Further DBS programming and uptitration of levodopa medications did not lead to significant improvement. Patient was started on LCIG treatment at rate of 6.5ml/hr with additional levodopa at bedtime and rotigotine. Patient showed excellent clinical improvement with regards to postural control and balance, with ability to ambulate independently.
Second case is a 39-year-old male known to have young-onset PD diagnosed at the age of 33. Presented with right-hand clumsiness and tremor that progressed to involve the left side and lower limbs. Patient had levodopa responsive symptoms and developed motor fluctuations and dyskinesias. Patient had bilateral DBS of STN, with good response for 2 years. Then the patient had worsening of symptoms with the presence of gait difficulties and psychiatric symptoms not improving with medications. Patients DBS parameters were reduced because of his psychiatric manifestations and gait difficulties but his motor symptoms got worse. Patient had LCIG treatment at a continues dose of 5.5ml/hr with significant improvement in symptoms.
Conclusion: Combination of LCIG and DBS therapy could be considered in challenging PD patients.

Ever wondered how Curious Cardinals got its name? In this week's newsletter, we're talking about just that!
“Curious” epitomizes co-founders Alec and Audrey’s experience. Alec and Audrey were both on fixed tracks, but were diverted during the pandemic. They started asking, “What if?” When asked if they could, they inquired “Why not?” Rather than just zooming ahead with the previous plan, curiosity means continually asking why, keeping your mind open to the world around you.
“Cardinal” is a reference to Stanford’s cardinal red color, but we’ve adopted the bird as a more literal symbol for our students. “I always like to say when a student comes, they hatch their idea in the nest,” Audrey recently explained on the Love Your School Podcast. “We give them the confidence to fly into the sky.”
Your student’s journey is only beginning! As the clock ticks faster toward them leaving the nest, you want to prepare them for flight. Think of a CC mentor as a student’s personal flight instructor.😉🧑✈ A Curious Cardinals mentor incubates your student’s passions, talents, and natural curiosities. Their mentorship experience will expand their vision, unlock their confidence, and help them prepare for a bright future ahead.
Curiosity is Key!
Curiosity is the magic ingredient that gets your student observing, dreaming, and doing. Tackling problems with a sense of tenacity, awe, and wonder. Unfortunately, classrooms are usually the place Curiosity goes to die. That’s why we’re so passionate about cultivating curiosity through mentorship and personalized learning.
“Wonder is such an important feeling for our kids, preserving their innocence and helping them view the world around them with their ‘clear-eyed vision’. That sense of wonder can in turn cultivate curiosity and questioning, appreciation and respect, imagination and creativity.” - Shirra Baston

EDIT: added function "GetValuefromGuid": Input -- Guid & AutoText Property Name -- Returns Value
Third Release on GitHub.
Hopefully this will provide access for most of requests made here. If you have an needed function/capability leave it in the comments and I'll see if it is feasible to add on.
I hope that Graphisoft will shortly incorporate all this capability natively into Python without the use of a AddOn.
If you agree that Python should be promptly expanded , you can send a message to Graphisoft by clinking on like on this post??
The video which demos this utility is posted on YouTube:
The AddOn apx file is posted on the GitHub site listed in the Video description
i would be interested to hear of any applications which are freed up with the additional commands. And a note on performance. I doubt that Python will be very fast, but manual operations should not be a problem.
I have not tested them, but Probably not. They were compiled with the 25 version of the API development kit and generally are not backward compatible.


title: Sedation

text:
Also called sleep dentistry, general anesthesia can relieve pain and anxiety by making a patient unconscious during dental procedures. For patients with intense dental fear or those who need major dental procedures, sleep dentistry presents an option that is both comfortable and practical.
If you and the dentist determine that your case is right for sleep dentistry, the dentist may use oral medication or IV sedation. Sleep dentistry has helped many patients overcome the barriers created by profound anxieties about dental procedures that stand in the way of optimal oral health.
Oral Conscious Sedation
To relieve the very real and often debilitating anxiety associated with dental phobia, we also offer oral conscious sedation, known as sedation dentistry. Patients who feel stressed about dental work, as well as those who need multiple procedures performed in one visit, benefit from conscious sedation.
The procedure involves taking an oral sedative prior to your visit, then receiving nitrous oxide (laughing gas) to supplement the sedative's effects. Your vital signs and comfort level are keenly monitored throughout your visit.
Nitrous Oxide and how does it work?
Commonly referred to as laughing gas, nitrous oxide is used in surgery and dentistry for its pain blocking and reducing effects. It is known as "laughing gas" due to the euphoric effects of inhaling it. The administration of nitrous oxide is used to enhance patient comfort and relieve anxiety for patients of all ages. The gas (a nitrous oxide and oxygen mixture) is inhaled through a face mask. The amount of gas that you receive is monitored and controlled by the dentist to ensure your safety. You will begin to relax and will not recognize pain, so the dentist can perform your dental work while you stay completely comfortable. The effects of nitrous oxide decrease once the mask is removed, such that if the gas is the only anesthesia that you receive, you will very likely be capable of driving yourself home following the visit and can continue your daily activities as normal.
IV Conscious Sedation
While IV sedation can be used for general anesthesia (to induce a state of unconsciousness), it can also be used for conscious sedation. This type of sedation induces an altered state of consciousness, also known as a “twilight” state, which is a groggy state of mind and a relaxed body. This form of sedation minimizes pain and discomfort through the use of pain relievers and sedatives. Patients who receive conscious sedation usually are able to speak and respond to verbal cues throughout the procedure, communicating any discomfort they experience to the dentist. While you are under the effects of the drug, the dentist can perform your dental work, and you will remain comfortable. A brief period of amnesia may erase any memory of the procedure. After your procedure(s), you will need a ride home from the dental office. The following day, the sedative will clear the body so that you can resume daily activities.


title: Landscaping to help sell your home

text:
Home prices appear to be on the rise. And more people are being approved for mortgages. It certainly looks like the real estate market is finally on the rebound. Now is probably the ideal time for you to get your home or property ready to sell…and make a profit.
Home repairs and needed upgrades are often important considerations before selling your home. “Curb appeal” also goes a long way in helping you sell your home. Prospective buyers often are drawn to homes with the better landscapes and yards.
In fact, landscaping can help sell a home by:
– Attracting prospective buyers who drive by the home or through the neighborhood
– Reducing the amount of time a home remains on the market before being sold
– Increasing the property’s value
– Creating bidding wars between those buyers interested in the home, thus helping the seller to get a higher price
That’s why a lot of sellers choose professional landscapers to enhance their homes “curb appeal” by designing an attractive landscape and taking care of the lawn maintenance while the home is on the market. A beautifully landscaped home helps you attract more buyers…and receive a better price.
In fact, investing in your homes landscape has long been considered one of the best ways to improve its selling power.
Landscaping both boosts curb appeal and your home’s outdoor space and functionality. Prospective buyers can easily envision their kids, guest, and themselves enjoying time in a professionally and well-designed landscaped yard.
If you need help creating a landscaping plan that makes your home more beautiful and valuable, be sure to contact a professional landscaping company that’s licensed and insured. Experienced landscaping companies are a great way to get your home ready for the market.

16 Jan From Homelessness to Hope: How Goodwill’s Digital Skills Training Transformed Narayan’s Life
In April 2023, Nashville native Narayan Rabindranath walked into the Goodwill Career Solutions Center in Clarksville. He did not have a job, a car, a place to live or many clothes. Narayan faced significant barriers to employment due to his history of justice involvement, but he was determined to turn his life around. He met with a Goodwill Career Coach who helped him realize the future he dreamed of was still possible.
“I was caught in the cycle of incarceration and homelessness, which is impossible to get out of without the support and resources, like what Goodwill offers,” Narayan said.
Narayan’s journey with Goodwill began with the Google IT Support Professional Certificate training program he entered in May 2023. He completed the course and earned his certificate in just four months. His dedication didn’t stop there; he enrolled in the Google Project Management Professional Certificate course through Goodwill, which he also completed in about four months. Despite experiencing homelessness and navigating job and shelter transitions, Narayan’s resilience and positive attitude shone through.
Goodwill digital skills and certificate programs provide people like Narayan, who have no previous industry experience, the opportunity to learn the digital skills necessary to thrive in an increasingly tech-driven world and transition into IT careers — many of which provide higher salaries and meaningful long-term career paths.
In March 2024, just one month after completing the Google Project Management Professional Certificate, Narayan secured a job teaching project management for Persevere, a company that works with people who have been impacted by the justice system. This role, with a substantial hourly wage, marked a significant milestone in his journey. Narayan says the role is incredibly meaningful to him as it allows him to help those going through the same struggles he did.
The professional certificate programs are made possible in part due to support from Google.org, the Truist Foundation and the Caterpillar Foundation. Thanks to a Truist grant, Goodwill was able to provide Narayan with a Dell Latitude laptop to complete his coursework and to keep.
He describes his success as the product of “willingness, being open-minded and action.”
Narayan says, “In a world that is always moving, if there is no movement, then it is moving without you. In order to enjoy the success of the work that you have accomplished, you must do some work.”
Narayan’s story is a powerful example of how hard work and digital skills training can transform lives. He is still connected with Goodwill and is actively saving to purchase a home next year while he currently resides in transitional housing in Clarksville where he works remotely.
When asked about his experience, Narayan said, “I would like to thank Goodwill for being a brick-and-mortar store that has been seen for years by many, for offering services to anyone who comes through the door and hires people who genuinely care about people.”

It was wonderful. The only downside was that they were all working from the same set of recipes.
The basic requirements for the project are to:
- Make 2-3 recipes from each section of the project manual, so 10-15 recipes each.
- Do a couple of experiments or activities from the manual (which they did together).
- Do community service related to their project (baking cookies for a bake sale, baking cookies to give out in Thanksgiving baskets).
- Give a demonstration relating to your project.
- Make something to exhibit at County Fair. For 101, that had to be either cookies, bar cookies, or no-bake cookies. For 201, that is muffins, scones, or quick bread.
The kids cut each piece into thirds, and then made one piece for each of us a) in the oven, b) on the stove, and c) in the microwave. Since our microwave died a couple days after all the COVID shutdowns, we had to wait to do this activity until we got a replacement.
The only way they have ever made bacon is by frying it on the stove.
Trina putting bacon onto the stone to go into the oven |
Richard putting bacon on a tray to microwave it. |
It was interesting to see the results. Basically, we all were torn between the stove and oven, and pretty much all thought the microwave-cooked bacon was a distant 3rd place. What we liked about the bacon from the oven was that it was pretty flat instead of all curled up. But we preferred the taste of the bacon that they fried.
We finished the day off by having BLTs, and made that bacon in the oven so it would work in the sandwiches better.
Next taste test? Rice. We're supposed to compare cooked on the stove to cooked in the oven, but I'm going to add the rice cooker to the mix.
I just love 4-H!

The Sleeping Queen, an Operetta in one act by Michael William Balfe is a rare opportunity to experience a delightful chamber opera composed by Ireland’s leading nineteenth-century opera composer to a libretto by Henry Brougham Farnie (1836-1889). The Sleeping Queen occupies a unique position as Balfe’s only operetta and was recently revived by Irish-international pianist and producer, Una Hunt, who was sent the score by Balfe’s biographer, the late Basil Walsh. Reviving this comic operetta proved an illuminating experience as much of the symbolism represented within implies that the libretto was written in homage to the reigning monarch, Queen Victoria.
This specially staged performance will take place in the unique setting of a historic cobbled stone courtyard off Lismore Main Street at 3pm on Saturday 1st June. This will be preceded by the RDS Collins Award Recital by cellist Killian White at St Carthages Cathedral from 12 noon so much to enjoy around the town of Lismore with lunch available in several hostelries. Tickets for The Sleeping Queen are available here or by calling our ticket office +353 (0)85 207 8944
Balfe was considered the most significant operatic composer of the Victorian period and, for more than fifty years, his Bohemian Girl maintained a position at the vanguard of popular English-language repertory on both sides of the Atlantic. With its translation into many languages, it also gained widespread international success. There was a succession of other successful operas, 28 in total, but nonetheless, Balfe’s music is now largely forgotten. The Sleeping Queen has a cast of four characters with original scoring for piano accompaniment rather than orchestra. It was first presented in 1864 at Thomas German Reed’s Gallery of Illustration in London, a fashionable venue specializing in plays and small-scale operatic productions.
A short pre-opera talk will be given by Una Hunt.

title: Question 174

My daughter got married to an person of Indian Origin who is a citizen of USA. He was residing in Bombay(India), and the marriage also took place in Bombay. He had verbally promised her that he would stay permanently in Bombay since he does not like USA. He even had an apartment in Bombay where the couple stayed for about three months. His parents are based in USA. However, three months after marriage he said that he wishes to settle down in USA with his parents. My daughter did not like the place in USA where they were staying. And since she was promised that she would always be residing in Bombay, she came back to India. Now this guy has applied for a divorce in USA and may get an ex-parte Divorce order too. Is this order valid in India ? (The marriage was solemnized in India). How will she know that the order has been passed and what if he marries someone in USA without informing my daughter about the ex parte order Kindly advise
If your son –in-law is living in New York for over two years, he may file for divorce in New York.
In order for your son- in- law to get a divorce from your daughter he will have to serve her with a summons and complaint.
There are no ex-parte divorces in New York. He will have to prove to the court that he made every effort to contact her and was unable to do so
Before the court will allow him to proceed with the divorce.
I cannot tell you whether India would recognize a New York divorce. You should consult in Indian attorney regarding that question.

What’s Happening with Mortgage Rates, and Where Will They Go from Here?
Mar 31, 2022
3 min read
Based on the Primary Mortgage Market Survey from Freddie Mac, the average 30-year fixed-rate mortgage has increased by 1.2% (3.22% to 4.42%) since January of this year. The rate jumped by more than a quarter of a point from just a week ago. Here’s a visual to show how mortgage rate movement throughout 2021 was steady compared to the rapid increase in mortgage rates this year:
Just a few months ago, Freddie Macprojected mortgage rates would average 3.6% in 2022. Earlier this month, Fannie Maeforecast mortgage rates would average 3.8% in 2022. As the chart above shows, rates have already surpassed those projections.
Sam Khater, Chief Economist at Freddie Mac, explained in a press release last week:
“This week, the 30-year fixed-rate mortgage increased by more than a quarter of a percent as mortgage rates across all loan types continued to move up. Rising inflation, escalating geopolitical uncertainty and the Federal Reserve’s actions are driving rates higher and weakening consumers’ purchasing power.”
Where Are Mortgage Rates Going from Here?In a recent article by Bankrate, several industry experts weighed in on where rates might be headed going forward. Here are some of their forecasts:
Greg McBride, Chief Financial Analyst, Bankrate:
“With inflation figures continuing to surprise to the upside, mortgage rates will remain above 4.0% on the 30-year fixed.”
Nadia Evangelou, Senior Economist and Director of Forecasting, National Association of Realtors (NAR):
“While higher short-term interest rates will push up mortgage rates, I expect some of this impact to be mitigated eventually through lower inflation. Thus, I expect the 30-year fixed mortgage rate to continue to rise, although we aren’t likely to see the big jumps that occurred over the past few weeks.”
Len Kiefer, Deputy Chief Economist, Freddie Mac:
“Mortgage rates are likely to continue to move higher throughout the balance of 2022, although the pace of rate increases is likely to moderate.”
In a recent realtor.comarticle, another expert adds to the conversation:Danielle Hale, Chief Economist, realtor.com:
". . . As markets digest the Fed’s updated economic projections, I anticipate a continued increase in mortgage rates over the next several months. . . .”
What Does This Mean for You if You’re Looking To Buy a Home?With both mortgage rates and home values expected to increase throughout the year, it would be better to buy sooner rather than later if you’re able. That’s because it’ll cost you more the longer you wait. But, there is a possible silver lining to buying a home right now. While you’ll be paying a higher price and a higher mortgage rate than you would have last year, rising prices do have a long-term benefit once you buy.
If you purchase a home today valued at $400,000 and put 10% down, you would be taking out a $360,000 mortgage. According to mortgagecalculator.net, at a 4.42% fixed mortgage rate, your mortgage payment would be $1,807 a month (this does not include insurance, taxes, and other fees because those vary by location).
Now, let’s put that mortgage payment into a new perspective based on the substantial growth in equity that comes with the escalation in home prices. Every quarter, Pulsenomics surveys a panel of over 100 economists, investment strategists, and housing market analysts about their expectations for future home prices in the United States. Last week, Pulsenomics released their latest Home Price Expectation Survey. The survey reveals that the average of the experts’ forecasts calls for a 9% increase in home values in 2022.
Based on those projections, a $400,000 house you buy today could be valued at $436,000 by this time next year. If you break that down, that means the equity in your home would increase by $3,000 a month over that period. That’s greater than the estimated monthly payment above. Granted, the increase in your net worth is tied to the home, but it is one way to put the home price appreciation to use in a way that benefits you.
Bottom LinePaying a higher price for a home and a higher mortgage rate can be a difficult pill to swallow. However, waiting will just cost you more. If you’re ready, willing, and able to buy a home, now will be a better time than a year, or even six months from now. Let’s connect to begin the process today.
