title: Understanding the importance of psychiatric care for seniors in long term care and the role of pharmacies

text:
As seniors age, they often require additional healthcare services to manage their physical and mental health. This is particularly true for seniors who reside in long-term care facilities, who may experience higher rates of mental health conditions such as depression and anxiety.
One important aspect of senior healthcare is psychiatric care, which can help seniors manage their mental health and improve their overall quality of life. Pharmacies also play a crucial role in supporting seniors’ mental health by providing medications and other resources.
Psychiatric care involves a range of services that support mental health and well-being. For seniors in long-term care, this may include counseling or therapy sessions with a mental health professional, medication management, and other supportive services. These services can help seniors cope with mental health conditions, manage symptoms, and improve their overall quality of life.
Pharmacies also play a critical role in supporting seniors’ mental health. Pharmacists are trained to provide medication management services, including filling prescriptions, monitoring drug interactions, and providing counseling on medication use. They may also offer specialized services for seniors, such as medication synchronization and prescription delivery. Additionally, pharmacies may provide resources and education on mental health conditions and treatment options.
Seniors in long-term care can benefit greatly from a collaborative approach to mental health care that involves their healthcare team, including physicians, mental health professionals, and pharmacists. This team can work together to ensure seniors receive the support they need to manage their mental health conditions and improve their overall well-being.
In conclusion, psychiatric care is an essential aspect of senior healthcare, particularly for those in long-term care facilities. Pharmacies also play a vital role in supporting seniors’ mental health by providing medication management services and other resources. By working together, healthcare professionals and pharmacists can help seniors manage their mental health and improve their quality of life.

title: Editors note the power hitter

It might be hard to believe, but there are downsides to being a super-high-wattage celebrity — especially when you’re expanding into a field apart from the one that made you famous. Just ask retired Yankees shortstop, real estate investor and TRD cover star Alex Rodriguez.
“As an athlete, there’s a gift and a curse,” he tells deputy web editor Katherine Kallergis, when describing his investor outreach. “Sometimes, people celebrate and take the meeting. But for the most part, they’re thinking that you’re just an athlete.”
But the 44-year-old has surrounded himself with serious players to take A-Rod Corp. into the commercial real estate big leagues, with his firm Monument Capital Management set to close its fourth residential fund. Up in New York City, Rodriguez is working with Stonehenge NYC and broker Adam Modlin to make condo and apartment acquisitions there, and he’s investing in multifamily properties in secondary and tertiary markets across the country. The multi-talented investor opened up about his new ventures — and why fiancée Jennifer Lopez is more into residential real estate (page 38).
Like most in the field, A-Rod’s looking out for an impending downturn. “We’re definitely in a defensive mode. We have our feet on the brakes a little bit,” he said. With an unpredictable stock market and other indicators flashing warning signs, certainly the entire market is bracing for what could come. In this edition’s recession package, we seek to answer some burning questions: who in South Florida has the most to gain and to lose from a downturn (page 44)? How will highly leveraged heavyweights like Zillow handle a turning tide (page 46)? What could happen to the booming hotel market (page 50)? Why do investors think pouring billions into mobile home parks will inoculate them from financial distress (page 54)? We attempt to answer these questions in those pages.
Other highlights in this issue include editor Ina Cordle’s interview with Bal Harbour Shops head David Whitman Lazenby (page 70) and our sit-down with spec home developer Todd Glaser (page 14), who proudly tells us that “when a toilet is flushed in Miami Beach real estate, Todd Glaser knows about it.” Now that’s news you can use.
Enjoy the issue!

Guest Design Projects Week 2 for Vera Lane Studio
Hi everyone! Today I am sharing two Guest Designer projects made with the new Vera Lane Studio digi set called Birthdays. The set contains a boy and a girl as well as a sweet saying, all of which can be used together or separately depending upon your needs.
I created a birthday card with the adorable girl as well as a tag featuring the cute little guy. I love doing two projects at once because you only have to think once...LOL
I coloured both images with Prismacolor and Polychromos pencils, adding white Posca paint pen dots to Birthday Girl's dress and their eyes.
Both were fussy cut leaving a narrow white border, matted to black cardstock, and fussy cut again leaving a narrow black border. Foam tape was applied to the backs of the images to add dimension and natural shadow.
Both the tag and card backgrounds were created at the same time using the same colours and mediums. I started with the card background first. Brilliant Yellow Green Liquitex paint was brayered onto my gel plate and then Joggles Teardrops in the Round Foam stamp was applied to the painty plate to remove some of the colour here and there. The card front was then pressed to the gel plate and a print was pulled which had white spaces in the shape of the foam stamp design. As I lifted paint from the plate with the foam stamp, I applied the painty foam stamp to the white cardstock tag to begin the tag background. That way no paint is wasted and you end up with a two-fer...two backgrounds for the price of one :)
The next step was to apply some turquoise pattern over the yellow green. Bright Aqua Green Liquitex Acrylic paint was brayered across the gel plate in a thin even coat. This was then used as a "stamp pad". Joggles Wonky Layered Circle foam stamp was loaded with a thin even coat of Aqua Green paint from the gel plate and then pressed over the previously yellow green printed background. The paint was brayered smooth in between each stamping to get even coverage and a crisper image. The same step was done to the white tag, printing the turquoise circle over the green ones from earlier. Such a simple process and I love how the two backgrounds look different depending upon the background colour.
The card front was then stamped with an Indigo Blu text stamp using Garden Patina Archival Ink. Black gesso was pounced through the harlequin section of Stamperia Steampunk Man stencil. Two pieces of turquoise dotty washi tape were overlapped and matted with black cardstock before being adhered on the left side of the card. Two enamel dots accented the washi flags. The tag had the same dotty washi tape, topped with a thin strip of the card background print adhered above it. This gave Birthday Boy a place to stand. Before he was adhered to the tag, the same Stamperia harlequin stencil design was applied to the background. I love the contrast the black provides and how it makes the other colours pop. A black enamel dot was also used to accent this washi.
The sentiment on the card front was created using the Vera Lane Studio Baby Powder font. I love this font so much! Both sentiments were printed onto white cardstock, cut into sections or individual words, and matted with black. Foam tape was used to op them up. Both projects were then given a doodled border and matted with black cardstock to frame them. The finishing touches of adhering the decorated card front to the white base and adding ribbon as a tag topper were done to complete the two projects.
Thanks so much for joining Birthday Girl, Birthday Boy, and me today. To see more projects using these adorable images, be sure to stop by the Vera Lane Studio Facebook group. The talented Design Team has been creating with them all week and there are also inspiring projects created by the VLS community. When you have a minute, pop by the Vera Lane Studio Etsy shop, too. There is a huge selection of fabulous images and collage sheets that will surely spark your mojo.
Life is good; so is art.

title: Four friends is a serious movie saji surendran

text:
THIRUVANATHAPURAM: ‘Four Friends’ is a serious movie with a noble message, said the film’s director Saji Surendran at a news meet held here on Monday. “I wanted to make a film that would be different in every sense from my previous films. The basic thought of the story line came from actor Jayaram. It was he who suggested making a film that could weave together friendship and death. The film gives a beautiful message about how one should take life positively,’’ he said.
Saji added that the film deals with the depth of friendship among four characters. “I think we have been able to handle a wonderful theme in an easeful manner.’’ Admitting that the film would disappoint those who expect a comic caper, scriptwriter Krishna Poojappura said that Four Friends should be appreciated for its story. “Posters of the film have made a negative impact. Viewers coming for the movie are expecting a comedy film like our earlier films. However, the theme of the movie has great potential. We really expect our film to be a great success,’’ he said. Krishna also highlighted the presence of Kamal Hassan in the movie. “We have had great response from our viewers on the scenes featuring Kamal Hassan. His realistic dialogues in the film have made a great influence on the viewers. A man suffering from cancer called us and expressed his happiness after seeing the film.’’
Saji said that his next project would be produced by Maniyan Pillai Raju.
When the reporters asked him about making films with superstars, Saji said that discussions with Mammootty and Mohan Lal are already on and that the two projects are expected to be produced within two years.

Audit finds FEMA laptops lack proper security settings
Sensitive data could be at risk, inspector general finds in review of 298 laptops.
The Federal Emergency Management Agency needs better policies and procedures for safeguarding its inventory of 32,000 laptop computers from unauthorized users, according to a recent audit report.
The partially redacted 37-page report from the Homeland Security Department's inspector general said that without the proper security configurations, sensitive data on the laptops might be at risk.
The audit was conducted in the wake of 16 security incidents involving stolen or missing DHS laptop computers in 2006. The IG and the Government Accountability Office reported last summer that FEMA had more than 100 missing and presumed stolen laptops valued at $300,000.
For the recent review, auditors tested a sample of 298 FEMA laptops. Deficiencies included failure to apply security settings that met mandatory standards, and a lack of procedures for installing software security updates.
Because FEMA applied the same security policies for its desktop computers, the configuration weaknesses identified with laptop computers apply to all government-issued computers at the agency, the IG found.
FEMA has not classified its laptop computers as part of a recognized information technology system, so auditors were unable to evaluate whether the agency was compliant with requirements of the 2002 Federal Information Security Management Act.
To secure data stored on government-issued laptop computers, auditors recommended that FEMA's chief information officer, Anthony Cira, develop and implement a standard security setting for all agency computers. The agency also should fix existing "critical vulnerabilities" identified on the laptop computers tested by the auditors and check to see whether other laptops have similar weaknesses, the IG said.
In a heavily redacted section of the report, auditors outlined how many of the computers tested had not received the most recent security software updates. FEMA officials concurred with the IG's recommendation in that area, by agreeing to implement an automated software patch management system.

title: Shared hosting

text:
After you've figured out what shared website hosting is and what it can do for you, you'll want to look into the aspects that can help you get the most out of your shared hosting package. Here are some crucial pointers to remember when looking for a shared hosting service.
1. Proper Allocation Of Resources
The underlying concept of the entire idea of shared website hosting is that the resources are shared and are always limited. When selecting shared hosting, please read the details to see their fair use policy.
If your site receives a lot of traffic, if your users download a lot of stuff, or if a program causes the system to slow down, it will cause problems for you and others.
2. Technical Assistance
Search for a server that has technical agents available 24 hours a day. They should preferably be available on your selected medium. It may be through phone, email, or even live chat. Even though this type of hosting is low-cost, it does not imply you shouldn't anticipate technical assistance.
3. Consistent Uptime
Start by looking at the uptime as it is one of the first things you should do. If your shared hosting plan causes frequent downtimes, you will face difficulties later in the functioning of the website. This is why you must pay attention to the uptime.
4. Less Wait Time
Nobody wants to wait more than two to three seconds for a page on your website to load. Keeping this in mind, you should pay special attention to the website's speed and ensure that the plan you choose matches the load you plan to put on the server.
5. User-Friendly Dashboard
While operating on a web hosting account, you rarely anticipate problems. That's why you must determine whether or not an easy-to-use panel is offered. It should be user-friendly so that you are not stuck managing a highly complicated dashboard in case of any issues.
Who Should Buy A Shared Hosting Server?
Shared hosting is the best alternative for people who are building a website from the ground up. It is, without a doubt, the most fantastic option for this category of users. Shared hosting is also a good option for individuals who don't want to spend much money on their hosting and want to keep their costs low.
Additionally, it is difficult to foresee how much space and resources a website would initially demand. For this reason, shared hosting is a suitable and adaptable solution that enables you to handle the unknowns better.
When Do We Not Use Shared Hosting?
With shared hosting, your site is hosted on a regular server alongside several other websites as the server is configured to allow well-known structures, to function correctly in traditional settings.
It's probably advisable to use a web hosting or devoted hosting package to use a custom website system that isn't installed on the server or increase server resources for web page-specific projects. These projects demand a ton of data and a structure for the executive's interaction, allowing you to tailor the server to your needs.
If this is the case, you should consider hosting a VPS or dedicated server. They allow you to teach specific programming or create another server to set up and administer your website.
After laying down all the facts and information, we know that choosing between hosting services may get complex and overwhelming. On the one hand, a VPS or dedicated server gives you more power and increased freedom over your server, but these benefits come at a high cost, sometimes up to fifty times the price of a shared server.
But after proper research, it is easy to conclude that if you are building a website on a budget or are just getting started online and searching for a simple and inexpensive option, shared hosting is the way to go.
And if you are looking for the right shared hosting for your blog or website, consider scrolling at HostingFoxy online reviews on almost 4500+ web hosting. After all, it is essential to make an informed decision!

Selco Builders Warehouse has launched a new pilot scheme to offer free ‘MOT’ health checks for its staff and potentially help them avoid serious illness.
Selco Builders Warehouse has introduced health screenings for employees based at its central Support Centre in Wythall, near Birmingham.
Dozens of colleagues have already taken advantage of the scheme – which is run in conjunction with health and wellbeing specialists Westfield Health – in the opening two days of activity.
There are plans in place to extend the offering to Selco’s entire workforce of nearly 3,000 people across 75 branches around the UK if the trial proves successful.
The programme has been launched to coincide with Know Your Numbers Week, the UK’s biggest blood pressure testing and awareness event.
As well as checking blood pressure levels, the screenings also provide an assessment on a range of other metrics including cholesterol, BMI and blood glucose.
Results are produced immediately with a personal report provided and a discussion with a wellbeing coach included.
Sally Kerr, HR Director at Selco, said: “Ensuring we have a team of engaged and healthy colleagues is a key priority for us at Selco and these health checks are the latest important initiative in us delivering on that.
“It’s vital that everyone keeps on top of their physical health and wellbeing with regular checks, but it’s not always easy to achieve and making health appointments is something which often gets put on the back-burner due to other pressures.
“Our colleagues live very busy lifestyles, many working full time and across a variety of shift patterns.
“Providing the opportunity for colleagues to secure appointments during a working day will give them the chance to ‘know their numbers’ and much more in a convenient way, and also allow them to have access to professional advice so they can make informed lifestyle choices.
“Our first two days of health checks saw all appointments fully booked and the feedback has been extremely positive from the 80 people who took part.
“In addition to this, Westfield Health will also produce an anonymised overview report for us which will allow us to identify areas of focus for our wellness strategy in 2025.”

title: Researchers and grad students lets talk science workshops aspx

text:
University researchers and graduate students can take advantage of a series of workshops offered by the non-profit outreach organization Let’s Talk Science to hone their outreach and communications skills. The organization has been holding the workshops, called Science with Impact, free of charge since 2006 through a partnership with the Canadian Institutes of Health Research. This year, they’ve been running since the beginning of February and will continue until mid-March at various universities across the country.
The three-hour workshops are “for anybody who has either a background or an interest in science, but who would like a more practical idea about how to communicate that interest to the general public – how to share your passion,” said Isabel Deslauriers, the national coordinator of Let’s Talk Science Outreach.
Lessons revolve around simplifying and clarifying scientific research, how to make content age-appropriate and how to engage with an audience. It encourages and exemplifies active learning and hands-on teaching, said Ms. Deslauriers.
Ute Kothe, an assistant professor of biochemistry at University of Lethbridge, is responsible for bringing Science with Impact to her institution and says it can be a major stepping stone for one’s career path – regardless of what that may be. Participants “see how valuable it is to share their passion with the next generation … they become really motivated and inspired,” she says. “After the three-hour workshop, they are usually so eager to go out and do science outreach. It’s really great to see.”
Dr. Kothe, who is the most recent recipient of the CIHR Synapse Mentorship Award, has delivered the workshop twice at the university.
Science with Impact classes have up to 25 participants, each receiving a workbook to take home after the lecture.
Caroline Graham, an aquaculture instructor at New Brunswick Community College, frequently attends training workshops, but said Science with Impact is unique. “It surprised me how valuable it was and how much I did get out of it,” she said. “I just found the content very relevant and also forced me to think of things a little differently.”
After attending the workshop, Ms. Graham made changes to her teaching and received positive feedback from her students as a result. “I found that I revamped my whole presentation and tried to make it more interactive.”
Incorporating participation prizes into her lectures, as demonstrated by the workshop, is just one of the popular strategies Ms. Graham now uses with her students. “It’s become obvious to me that the facilitators really did model what they were teaching, so making it relevant to me,” she said. “I found it very important and useful.”
Ms. Graham was one of the participants at the workshop held at the University of New Brunswick earlier in February. Workshops are offered in both English and French. Let’s Talk Science was running six workshops this term, with the last session on March 14 at Université de Sherbrooke.

Godzilla vs. Kong is bringing in monster viewing figures for HBO Max, scoring the biggest audience on the streamer to date following its release on March 31. In the US, the movie premiered simultaneously in theaters and on HBO Max.
It seems plenty of people chose to tune in from home – 3.6 million households watched Godzilla vs. Kong in its first five days of the streamer, according to third-party streaming ratings firm Samba TV. By comparison, Wonder Woman 1984 saw 2.2 million tune in for its opening weekend, while Zack Synder's Justice League saw 1.8 million watch the movie in its first few days. It's worth noting, though, that all these figures refer to households that watched at least five minutes of a title.
Regardless, the movie has undoubtedly been a hit for Warner Bros. – it recently set another pandemic-best record by making a whopping $121.8 million at the foreign box office in its opening weekend on March 24 (including $70.3 million in China alone) and a further $48.5 million across its opening weekend in the US. Altogether, the movie has made almost $300 million at the box office since March 24.
The sequel to Godzilla and Kong: Skull Island, in which the titular monsters clash in a spectacular battle, stars Alexander Skarsgård, Millie Bobby Brown, Rebecca Hall, Brian Tyree Henry, Kyle Chandler, and Demián Bichir. It was directed by Adam Wingard, helmer of recent movies like Death Note and Blair Witch, and co-written by Black Widow and Thor: Ragnarok screenwriter Eric Pearson.

U.S. Supreme Court: Strike Does Not Protect Union from Lawsuit for Damage to Company Property
Can a union be sued by management for destroying company property during a strike? On June 1, 2023, the U.S. Supreme Court answered the question in the affirmative.
Glacier Northwest sells and delivers ready-mix concrete. Its truck drivers were represented by the International Brotherhood of Teamsters Local Union No. 174.
In 2017, contract negotiations broke down and the union called a strike. The union's call for a work stoppage came in the middle of the day while concrete was already being mixed and loaded into the ready-mix trucks. Once poured into the truck, there is a limited time window before the concrete will set and permanently damage the truck.
Although management was able to avoid significant damage to the trucks, the concrete that was mixed that day hardened and became useless.
Glacier Northwest sued the Union for intentional damage to property in Washington state court, and the union moved to dismiss the lawsuit, arguing it was preempted by the National Labor Relations Act ("NLRA").
The Washington state court found for the union, holding that the state court claims were preempted by federal law under the longstanding Garmon doctrine. Under Garmon, state law claims are not allowed whenever the underlying conduct is "arguably protected or prohibited" by federal law.
The Supreme Court Decision
The Supreme Court reversed, finding that because the union knew a work stoppage could cause harm to the company’s product but did not take "reasonable precautions" to prevent the harm, its activity could not even "arguably" be protected by federal labor law.
While the Court’s specific ruling is narrow, it will make it easier to bring state tort claims against unions. This will allow some employers who are harmed by union conduct to seek a remedy in a venue other than the National Labor Relations Board ("NLRB").
- The decision turns on the U.S. Supreme Court’s finding that the conduct at issue was unprotected by the National Labor Relations Act. It is unclear how far courts will go in finding conduct that does not involve property damage (e.g., libel or harassment claims) to be clearly unprotected and thus subject to suit under state law.
- Even after the decision, there are still open questions of when the union can be liable for member conduct, but the threat of civil tort liability and the costs of having to defend such claims may lead to more moderate behavior during labor disputes
- Employers who experience property damages or economic harm as a result of union or employee collective action now should consider whether to pursue remedies in state court versus the National Labor Relations Board. While not mutually exclusive, bringing a charge at the NLRB to preserve that claim may be cited in the state court action as support for preemption of the state court claim.

Found them through internet search. Requested mobile installation. They called back within 2 hours to set up an appointment. Turns out they had a shop near me, which saved me 50% on installation cost. Took about an hour.
Prompt, quick, professional service. So much cheaper than getting another car. I would highly recommend their service to anyone who needs a hybrid battery replacement.
January 2, 2025
I was so grateful that my friend told me about this company. What I thought was going to be a $8,500.00 repair, as quoted to me by my regular auto shop, turned into a $2,400.00 repair. I will be forever grateful to Greentec EV & Hybrid Batteries. Thank you guys so much. Their customer service was excellent over the phone, and my experience with the technician that came to my home to do the repair was also excellent. I can’t thank you all enough. You really saved me!!
January 10, 2025
The hybrid battery on my prius started dying and I managed to drove to the shop so I left it with them and told me they’ll finish it by tomorrow at 11am but they done it a lot earlier and faster than I expected. The car was running great again with the purchased of 12 month warranty remanufactured. I’m highly satisfied with the work they’ve done and I recommended them big time.

A refundable “core deposit” of $500.00 will be added to your order at checkout. Once we receive your old battery, we will refund the core deposit back to you minus the cost of return shipping. Cores must be returned within 45 days of purchase. This applies to shipping orders only. In all other circumstances, the core will be picked up at the time of service, no deposit required.
Once your new hybrid battery has arrived, put the core battery back into the same packaging your battery arrived in. As soon as we receive your core battery, we will refund the core deposit back to you. It’s that easy.
If you notice warning lights on your dashboard, don’t rush to the dealership for an expensive diagnostic report. Many local auto parts stores can scan your vehicle and provide error codes for free—just ask them to run a quick scan with a diagnostic tool.
Above, we’ve listed some of the most common hybrid error codes. Keep in mind that the check engine light must be onfor major issues to be detected. If your vehicle is experiencing hybrid battery failure, dealerships often charge thousands of dollars for a replacement—typically with a limited warranty.
At Greentec Auto, we offer a cost-effective alternative, providing high-quality hybrid battery replacements at a fraction of the price. Plus, we back our batteries with a comprehensive warranty to give you peace of mind.
Hybrid and EV error codes are diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs) triggered by the vehicle’s onboard computer when it detects a problem with components like the hybrid battery, inverter, or high-voltage system. Common hybrid battery codes include P0A80 (Replace Hybrid Battery Pack) and P0A7F (Hybrid Battery Pack Deterioration). These codes help pinpoint issues in hybrid and electric vehicles and are essential in identifying when a hybrid battery replacement may be needed. We’ve dedicated a page where you can find different Error Codes, what they mean, what the causes are, and their symptoms.
Signs you may need a hybrid battery replacement include decreased fuel efficiency, warning lights or hybrid error codes (like P0A80), reduced electric driving range, sluggish acceleration, and unusual fan noises. If you’re noticing these symptoms in your hybrid or EV, it’s best to schedule a high-voltage battery diagnostic with a trusted specialist like Greentec Auto.
Driving with a hybrid battery error code like P0A80 or P0A7F can lead to reduced performance, lower fuel economy, and further damage to the vehicle’s electrical systems. While your hybrid or electric vehicle might still operate on the gasoline engine, it’s not recommended. A professional hybrid battery diagnostic can confirm if a battery replacement is necessary to restore full performance.
The cost of a hybrid battery replacement or EV battery replacement varies depending on the make, model, and battery type. On average, hybrid battery replacements range from $1,500 to $4,000, while electric vehicle battery replacements can cost between $5,000 and $15,000 or more. Greentec Auto offers affordable pricing on remanufactured and new hybrid batteries with installation options and warranty coverage.

title: Warm standby

PostgreSQL 9.6.24 Documentation | |||
Prev | Up | Chapter 26. High Availability, Load Balancing, and Replication | Next |
Continuous archiving can be used to create a high availability (HA) cluster configuration with one or more standby servers ready to take over operations if the primary server fails. This capability is widely referred to as warm standby or log shipping.
The primary and standby server work together to provide this capability, though the servers are only loosely coupled. The primary server operates in continuous archiving mode, while each standby server operates in continuous recovery mode, reading the WAL files from the primary. No changes to the database tables are required to enable this capability, so it offers low administration overhead compared to some other replication solutions. This configuration also has relatively low performance impact on the primary server.
Directly moving WAL records from one database server to another is typically described as log shipping. PostgreSQL implements file-based log shipping by transferring WAL records one file (WAL segment) at a time. WAL files (16MB) can be shipped easily and cheaply over any distance, whether it be to an adjacent system, another system at the same site, or another system on the far side of the globe. The bandwidth required for this technique varies according to the transaction rate of the primary server. Record-based log shipping is more granular and streams WAL changes incrementally over a network connection (see Section 26.2.5).
It should be noted that log shipping is asynchronous, i.e., the WAL records are shipped after transaction commit. As a result, there is a window for data loss should the primary server suffer a catastrophic failure; transactions not yet shipped will be lost. The size of the data loss window in file-based log shipping can be limited by use of the archive_timeout parameter, which can be set as low as a few seconds. However such a low setting will substantially increase the bandwidth required for file shipping. Streaming replication (see Section 26.2.5) allows a much smaller window of data loss.
Recovery performance is sufficiently good that the standby will typically be only moments away from full availability once it has been activated. As a result, this is called a warm standby configuration which offers high availability. Restoring a server from an archived base backup and rollforward will take considerably longer, so that technique only offers a solution for disaster recovery, not high availability. A standby server can also be used for read-only queries, in which case it is called a Hot Standby server. See Section 26.5 for more information.
It is usually wise to create the primary and standby servers so that they are as similar as possible, at least from the perspective of the database server. In particular, the path names associated with tablespaces will be passed across unmodified, so both primary and standby servers must have the same mount paths for tablespaces if that feature is used. Keep in mind that if CREATE TABLESPACE is executed on the primary, any new mount point needed for it must be created on the primary and all standby servers before the command is executed. Hardware need not be exactly the same, but experience shows that maintaining two identical systems is easier than maintaining two dissimilar ones over the lifetime of the application and system. In any case the hardware architecture must be the same — shipping from, say, a 32-bit to a 64-bit system will not work.
In general, log shipping between servers running different major PostgreSQL release levels is not possible. It is the policy of the PostgreSQL Global Development Group not to make changes to disk formats during minor release upgrades, so it is likely that running different minor release levels on primary and standby servers will work successfully. However, no formal support for that is offered and you are advised to keep primary and standby servers at the same release level as much as possible. When updating to a new minor release, the safest policy is to update the standby servers first — a new minor release is more likely to be able to read WAL files from a previous minor release than vice versa.
In standby mode, the server continuously applies WAL received from the master server. The standby server can read WAL from a WAL archive (see restore_command) or directly from the master over a TCP connection (streaming replication). The standby server will also attempt to restore any WAL found in the standby cluster's pg_xlog directory. That typically happens after a server restart, when the standby replays again WAL that was streamed from the master before the restart, but you can also manually copy files to pg_xlog at any time to have them replayed.
At startup, the standby begins by restoring all WAL available in the archive location, calling restore_command. Once it reaches the end of WAL available there and restore_command fails, it tries to restore any WAL available in the pg_xlog directory. If that fails, and streaming replication has been configured, the standby tries to connect to the primary server and start streaming WAL from the last valid record found in archive or pg_xlog. If that fails or streaming replication is not configured, or if the connection is later disconnected, the standby goes back to step 1 and tries to restore the file from the archive again. This loop of retries from the archive, pg_xlog, and via streaming replication goes on until the server is stopped or failover is triggered by a trigger file.
Standby mode is exited and the server switches to normal operation when pg_ctl promote is run or a trigger file is found (trigger_file). Before failover, any WAL immediately available in the archive or in pg_xlog will be restored, but no attempt is made to connect to the master.
Set up continuous archiving on the primary to an archive directory accessible from the standby, as described in Section 25.3. The archive location should be accessible from the standby even when the master is down, i.e., it should reside on the standby server itself or another trusted server, not on the master server.
If you want to use streaming replication, set up authentication on the primary server to allow replication connections from the standby server(s); that is, create a role and provide a suitable entry or entries in pg_hba.conf with the database field set to replication. Also ensure max_wal_senders is set to a sufficiently large value in the configuration file of the primary server. If replication slots will be used, ensure that max_replication_slots is set sufficiently high as well.
Take a base backup as described in Section 25.3.2 to bootstrap the standby server.
To set up the standby server, restore the base backup taken from primary server (see Section 25.3.4). Create a recovery command file recovery.conf in the standby's cluster data directory, and turn on standby_mode. Set restore_command to a simple command to copy files from the WAL archive. If you plan to have multiple standby servers for high availability purposes, set recovery_target_timeline to latest, to make the standby server follow the timeline change that occurs at failover to another standby.
Note: Do not use pg_standby or similar tools with the built-in standby mode described here. restore_command should return immediately if the file does not exist; the server will retry the command again if necessary. See Section 26.4 for using tools like pg_standby.
If you want to use streaming replication, fill in primary_conninfo with a libpq connection string, including the host name (or IP address) and any additional details needed to connect to the primary server. If the primary needs a password for authentication, the password needs to be specified in primary_conninfo as well.
If you're setting up the standby server for high availability purposes, set up WAL archiving, connections and authentication like the primary server, because the standby server will work as a primary server after failover.
If you're using a WAL archive, its size can be minimized using the archive_cleanup_command parameter to remove files that are no longer required by the standby server. The pg_archivecleanup utility is designed specifically to be used with archive_cleanup_command in typical single-standby configurations, see pg_archivecleanup. Note however, that if you're using the archive for backup purposes, you need to retain files needed to recover from at least the latest base backup, even if they're no longer needed by the standby.
A simple example of a recovery.conf is:
standby_mode = 'on' primary_conninfo = 'host=192.168.1.50 port=5432 user=foo password=foopass' restore_command = 'cp /path/to/archive/%f %p' archive_cleanup_command = 'pg_archivecleanup /path/to/archive %r'
You can have any number of standby servers, but if you use streaming replication, make sure you set max_wal_senders high enough in the primary to allow them to be connected simultaneously.
Streaming replication allows a standby server to stay more up-to-date than is possible with file-based log shipping. The standby connects to the primary, which streams WAL records to the standby as they're generated, without waiting for the WAL file to be filled.
Streaming replication is asynchronous by default (see Section 26.2.8), in which case there is a small delay between committing a transaction in the primary and the changes becoming visible in the standby. This delay is however much smaller than with file-based log shipping, typically under one second assuming the standby is powerful enough to keep up with the load. With streaming replication, archive_timeout is not required to reduce the data loss window.
If you use streaming replication without file-based continuous archiving, the server might recycle old WAL segments before the standby has received them. If this occurs, the standby will need to be reinitialized from a new base backup. You can avoid this by setting wal_keep_segments to a value large enough to ensure that WAL segments are not recycled too early, or by configuring a replication slot for the standby. If you set up a WAL archive that's accessible from the standby, these solutions are not required, since the standby can always use the archive to catch up provided it retains enough segments.
To use streaming replication, set up a file-based log-shipping standby server as described in Section 26.2. The step that turns a file-based log-shipping standby into streaming replication standby is setting primary_conninfo setting in the recovery.conf file to point to the primary server. Set listen_addresses and authentication options (see pg_hba.conf) on the primary so that the standby server can connect to the replication pseudo-database on the primary server (see Section 18.104.22.168).
Set the maximum number of concurrent connections from the standby servers (see max_wal_senders for details).
When the standby is started and primary_conninfo is set correctly, the standby will connect to the primary after replaying all WAL files available in the archive. If the connection is established successfully, you will see a walreceiver process in the standby, and a corresponding walsender process in the primary.
It is very important that the access privileges for replication be set up so that only trusted users can read the WAL stream, because it is easy to extract privileged information from it. Standby servers must authenticate to the primary as a superuser or an account that has the REPLICATION privilege. It is recommended to create a dedicated user account with REPLICATION and LOGIN privileges for replication. While REPLICATION privilege gives very high permissions, it does not allow the user to modify any data on the primary system, which the SUPERUSER privilege does.
Client authentication for replication is controlled by a pg_hba.conf record specifying replication in the database field. For example, if the standby is running on host IP 192.168.1.100 and the account name for replication is foo, the administrator can add the following line to the pg_hba.conf file on the primary:
# Allow the user "foo" from host 192.168.1.100 to connect to the primary # as a replication standby if the user's password is correctly supplied. # # TYPE DATABASE USER ADDRESS METHOD host replication foo 192.168.1.100/32 md5
The host name and port number of the primary, connection user name, and password are specified in the recovery.conf file. The password can also be set in the ~/.pgpass file on the standby (specify replication in the database field). For example, if the primary is running on host IP 192.168.1.50, port 5432, the account name for replication is foo, and the password is foopass, the administrator can add the following line to the recovery.conf file on the standby:
# The standby connects to the primary that is running on host 192.168.1.50 # and port 5432 as the user "foo" whose password is "foopass". primary_conninfo = 'host=192.168.1.50 port=5432 user=foo password=foopass'
An important health indicator of streaming replication is the amount of WAL records generated in the primary, but not yet applied in the standby. You can calculate this lag by comparing the current WAL write location on the primary with the last WAL location received by the standby. They can be retrieved using pg_current_xlog_location
on the primary and the pg_last_xlog_receive_location
on the standby, respectively (see Table 9-78 and Table 9-79 for details). The last WAL receive location in the standby is also displayed in the process status of the WAL receiver process, displayed using the ps command (see Section 28.1 for details).
You can retrieve a list of WAL sender processes via the pg_stat_replication view. Large differences between pg_current_xlog_location
and sent_location field might indicate that the master server is under heavy load, while differences between sent_location and pg_last_xlog_receive_location
on the standby might indicate network delay, or that the standby is under heavy load.
Replication slots provide an automated way to ensure that the master does not remove WAL segments until they have been received by all standbys, and that the master does not remove rows which could cause a recovery conflict even when the standby is disconnected.
In lieu of using replication slots, it is possible to prevent the removal of old WAL segments using wal_keep_segments, or by storing the segments in an archive using archive_command. However, these methods often result in retaining more WAL segments than required, whereas replication slots retain only the number of segments known to be needed. An advantage of these methods is that they bound the space requirement for pg_xlog; there is currently no way to do this using replication slots.
Similarly, hot_standby_feedback and vacuum_defer_cleanup_age provide protection against relevant rows being removed by vacuum, but the former provides no protection during any time period when the standby is not connected, and the latter often needs to be set to a high value to provide adequate protection. Replication slots overcome these disadvantages.
Each replication slot has a name, which can contain lower-case letters, numbers, and the underscore character.
Existing replication slots and their state can be seen in the pg_replication_slots view.
You can create a replication slot like this:
postgres=# SELECT * FROM pg_create_physical_replication_slot('node_a_slot'); slot_name | xlog_position -------------+--------------- node_a_slot | postgres=# SELECT slot_name, slot_type, active FROM pg_replication_slots; slot_name | slot_type | active -------------+-----------+-------- node_a_slot | physical | f (1 row)
To configure the standby to use this slot, primary_slot_name should be configured in the standby's recovery.conf. Here is a simple example:
standby_mode = 'on' primary_conninfo = 'host=192.168.1.50 port=5432 user=foo password=foopass' primary_slot_name = 'node_a_slot'
The cascading replication feature allows a standby server to accept replication connections and stream WAL records to other standbys, acting as a relay. This can be used to reduce the number of direct connections to the master and also to minimize inter-site bandwidth overheads.
A standby acting as both a receiver and a sender is known as a cascading standby. Standbys that are more directly connected to the master are known as upstream servers, while those standby servers further away are downstream servers. Cascading replication does not place limits on the number or arrangement of downstream servers, though each standby connects to only one upstream server which eventually links to a single master/primary server.
A cascading standby sends not only WAL records received from the master but also those restored from the archive. So even if the replication connection in some upstream connection is terminated, streaming replication continues downstream for as long as new WAL records are available.
Cascading replication is currently asynchronous. Synchronous replication (see Section 26.2.8) settings have no effect on cascading replication at present.
Hot Standby feedback propagates upstream, whatever the cascaded arrangement.
If an upstream standby server is promoted to become new master, downstream servers will continue to stream from the new master if recovery_target_timeline is set to 'latest'.
To use cascading replication, set up the cascading standby so that it can accept replication connections (that is, set max_wal_senders and hot_standby, and configure host-based authentication). You will also need to set primary_conninfo in the downstream standby to point to the cascading standby.
PostgreSQL streaming replication is asynchronous by default. If the primary server crashes then some transactions that were committed may not have been replicated to the standby server, causing data loss. The amount of data loss is proportional to the replication delay at the time of failover.
Synchronous replication offers the ability to confirm that all changes made by a transaction have been transferred to one or more synchronous standby servers. This extends that standard level of durability offered by a transaction commit. This level of protection is referred to as 2-safe replication in computer science theory, and group-1-safe (group-safe and 1-safe) when synchronous_commit is set to remote_write.
When requesting synchronous replication, each commit of a write transaction will wait until confirmation is received that the commit has been written to the transaction log on disk of both the primary and standby server. The only possibility that data can be lost is if both the primary and the standby suffer crashes at the same time. This can provide a much higher level of durability, though only if the sysadmin is cautious about the placement and management of the two servers. Waiting for confirmation increases the user's confidence that the changes will not be lost in the event of server crashes but it also necessarily increases the response time for the requesting transaction. The minimum wait time is the round-trip time between primary to standby.
Read only transactions and transaction rollbacks need not wait for replies from standby servers. Subtransaction commits do not wait for responses from standby servers, only top-level commits. Long running actions such as data loading or index building do not wait until the very final commit message. All two-phase commit actions require commit waits, including both prepare and commit.
Once streaming replication has been configured, configuring synchronous replication requires only one additional configuration step: synchronous_standby_names must be set to a non-empty value. synchronous_commit must also be set to on, but since this is the default value, typically no change is required. (See Section 19.5.1 and Section 19.6.2.) This configuration will cause each commit to wait for confirmation that the standby has written the commit record to durable storage. synchronous_commit can be set by individual users, so it can be configured in the configuration file, for particular users or databases, or dynamically by applications, in order to control the durability guarantee on a per-transaction basis.
After a commit record has been written to disk on the primary, the WAL record is then sent to the standby. The standby sends reply messages each time a new batch of WAL data is written to disk, unless wal_receiver_status_interval is set to zero on the standby. In the case that synchronous_commit is set to remote_apply, the standby sends reply messages when the commit record is replayed, making the transaction visible. If the standby is chosen as a synchronous standby, from a priority list of synchronous_standby_names on the primary, the reply messages from that standby will be considered along with those from other synchronous standbys to decide when to release transactions waiting for confirmation that the commit record has been received. These parameters allow the administrator to specify which standby servers should be synchronous standbys. Note that the configuration of synchronous replication is mainly on the master. Named standbys must be directly connected to the master; the master knows nothing about downstream standby servers using cascaded replication.
Setting synchronous_commit to remote_write will cause each commit to wait for confirmation that the standby has received the commit record and written it out to its own operating system, but not for the data to be flushed to disk on the standby. This setting provides a weaker guarantee of durability than on does: the standby could lose the data in the event of an operating system crash, though not a PostgreSQL crash. However, it's a useful setting in practice because it can decrease the response time for the transaction. Data loss could only occur if both the primary and the standby crash and the database of the primary gets corrupted at the same time.
Setting synchronous_commit to remote_apply will cause each commit to wait until the current synchronous standbys report that they have replayed the transaction, making it visible to user queries. In simple cases, this allows for load balancing with causal consistency.
Users will stop waiting if a fast shutdown is requested. However, as when using asynchronous replication, the server will not fully shutdown until all outstanding WAL records are transferred to the currently connected standby servers.
Synchronous replication supports one or more synchronous standby servers; transactions will wait until all the standby servers which are considered as synchronous confirm receipt of their data. The number of synchronous standbys that transactions must wait for replies from is specified in synchronous_standby_names. This parameter also specifies a list of standby names, which determines the priority of each standby for being chosen as a synchronous standby. The standbys whose names appear earlier in the list are given higher priority and will be considered as synchronous. Other standby servers appearing later in this list represent potential synchronous standbys. If any of the current synchronous standbys disconnects for whatever reason, it will be replaced immediately with the next-highest-priority standby.
An example of synchronous_standby_names for multiple synchronous standbys is:
synchronous_standby_names = '2 (s1, s2, s3)'
In this example, if four standby servers s1, s2, s3 and s4 are running, the two standbys s1 and s2 will be chosen as synchronous standbys because their names appear early in the list of standby names. s3 is a potential synchronous standby and will take over the role of synchronous standby when either of s1 or s2 fails. s4 is an asynchronous standby since its name is not in the list.
Synchronous replication usually requires carefully planned and placed standby servers to ensure applications perform acceptably. Waiting doesn't utilize system resources, but transaction locks continue to be held until the transfer is confirmed. As a result, incautious use of synchronous replication will reduce performance for database applications because of increased response times and higher contention.
PostgreSQL allows the application developer to specify the durability level required via replication. This can be specified for the system overall, though it can also be specified for specific users or connections, or even individual transactions.
For example, an application workload might consist of: 10% of changes are important customer details, while 90% of changes are less important data that the business can more easily survive if it is lost, such as chat messages between users.
With synchronous replication options specified at the application level (on the primary) we can offer synchronous replication for the most important changes, without slowing down the bulk of the total workload. Application level options are an important and practical tool for allowing the benefits of synchronous replication for high performance applications.
You should consider that the network bandwidth must be higher than the rate of generation of WAL data.
synchronous_standby_names specifies the number and names of synchronous standbys that transaction commits made when synchronous_commit is set to on, remote_apply or remote_write will wait for responses from. Such transaction commits may never be completed if any one of synchronous standbys should crash.
The best solution for high availability is to ensure you keep as many synchronous standbys as requested. This can be achieved by naming multiple potential synchronous standbys using synchronous_standby_names. The standbys whose names appear earlier in the list will be used as synchronous standbys. Standbys listed after these will take over the role of synchronous standby if one of current ones should fail.
When a standby first attaches to the primary, it will not yet be properly synchronized. This is described as catchup mode. Once the lag between standby and primary reaches zero for the first time we move to real-time streaming state. The catch-up duration may be long immediately after the standby has been created. If the standby is shut down, then the catch-up period will increase according to the length of time the standby has been down. The standby is only able to become a synchronous standby once it has reached streaming state.
If primary restarts while commits are waiting for acknowledgement, those waiting transactions will be marked fully committed once the primary database recovers. There is no way to be certain that all standbys have received all outstanding WAL data at time of the crash of the primary. Some transactions may not show as committed on the standby, even though they show as committed on the primary. The guarantee we offer is that the application will not receive explicit acknowledgement of the successful commit of a transaction until the WAL data is known to be safely received by all the synchronous standbys.
If you really cannot keep as many synchronous standbys as requested then you should decrease the number of synchronous standbys that transaction commits must wait for responses from in synchronous_standby_names (or disable it) and reload the configuration file on the primary server.
If the primary is isolated from remaining standby servers you should fail over to the best candidate of those other remaining standby servers.
If you need to re-create a standby server while transactions are waiting, make sure that the commands pg_start_backup() and pg_stop_backup() are run in a session with synchronous_commit = off, otherwise those requests will wait forever for the standby to appear.
When continuous WAL archiving is used in a standby, there are two different scenarios: the WAL archive can be shared between the primary and the standby, or the standby can have its own WAL archive. When the standby has its own WAL archive, set archive_mode to always, and the standby will call the archive command for every WAL segment it receives, whether it's by restoring from the archive or by streaming replication. The shared archive can be handled similarly, but the archive_command must test if the file being archived exists already, and if the existing file has identical contents. This requires more care in the archive_command, as it must be careful to not overwrite an existing file with different contents, but return success if the exactly same file is archived twice. And all that must be done free of race conditions, if two servers attempt to archive the same file at the same time.
If archive_mode is set to on, the archiver is not enabled during recovery or standby mode. If the standby server is promoted, it will start archiving after the promotion, but will not archive any WAL or timeline history files that it did not generate itself. To get a complete series of WAL files in the archive, you must ensure that all WAL is archived, before it reaches the standby. This is inherently true with file-based log shipping, as the standby can only restore files that are found in the archive, but not if streaming replication is enabled. When a server is not in recovery mode, there is no difference between on and always modes.

Custom PC Builder

One that can easily take on some of the high-end PCs head-on and still not cost you a fortune, but that’s easier said than done.You need to make highly informed decisions and understand exactly what you want. Lucky for you, you’re at the right place. Build your custom PC build with our PC configurator!
No matter what your gaming PC demands are, at Fierce PC, we make it easy for you to achieve and surpass your gaming potential by building your own gaming PC. Choose from various processors from Intel & AMD, as well as NVIDIA GeForce and AMD Radeon graphics card, to build your perfect gaming PC.
From Intel 14th Gen CPU's to the brand new AMD 8000G series CPU's, our configurator listings let you build the PC to meet your needs. Build your system in a wide variety of PC cases from leading brands such as; Corsair, Cooler Master, Tecware, NZXT, Lian Li, Jonsbo, Phanteks, & Fractal Design.
What to consider when building your PC?
The biggest task configuring your Gaming PC is matching your budget to the performance of the Gaming PC. As long as you understand what matters, you shouldn’t run into any problems. Here are the key points you need to consider.
The AMD Ryzen range are excellent budget processors and open you up to the ever-growing world of eSports. Partner them correctly with other components and you’ll be able to play most games on Ultra settings in 1080p. If you prefer Intel then Core i3 is the way to go for budget. The Latest Intel Raptor Lake and AMD AM5 Processors will provide your system with exceptional performance when paired with a high-end graphics card. For advice on the right combinations, feel free to contact our helpful support team via our contact us page.
New games are requiring more and more RAM usage. Most games still only require 16GB of RAM but some are creeping over and more and more are doing so all the time. Therefore, we recommend putting 16GB of RAM in your Gaming PC. 32GB of RAM is recommended if you require a PC for handling streaming or more intensive workloads.
Solid State Drive storage is becoming much more affordable, which is why all of our custom configurator listings have this as default. Supporting speeds up to 20x faster than a regular Hard Drive, your PC will boot into Windows and your games will load in seconds. If you require more storage and you don't want to use up too much of your budget, then we suggested pairing an SSD with a 2TB Hard Drive to store a large amount of files and games.
In a gamer’s book, it’s not a Gaming PC if the graphics are not up to par. There is a fantastic array of budget cards on the market, such as the Nvidia Geforce GTX 1650 4GB or the AMD Radeon RX 6500 XT 4GB graphics card to handle games at medium settings 1080p resolution. If you want your gaming PC to support the new demanding Ray-Tracing features, then we recommend the NVIDIA RTX 4060 Ti graphics card to maintain good performance. Native 4K gaming at high frame-rates requires the more powerful graphics cards such as the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 16GB or the AMD Radeon RX 7900XTX 24GB.
3-Year Warranty on all Custom Built PCs
After all the essentials are nailed down, building your Gaming PC and giving it more of a personal touch should be next on your agenda. Peripherals are one way to do it and they double-up as accessories that make gaming fun and more comfortable.
Gaming is all about strategy so start with the essentials such as a customised keyboard, mouse and game controllers. Don’t forget that an audio system and/or headset is a must-have to make the gaming experience more interactive and real.
If you have money to spare, upgrading your monitor to a more specialised gaming version should be next on your list. Higher refresh rates and better quality panels can take gaming on your new budget gaming PC to a whole different level. Gaming Chairs are next on the list, adding much-needed comfort to gaming, whilst bringing style to your cave.

Introduction: Why Organic Skincare is More Than Just a Trend
The skincare industry is filled with products that claim to work wonders, but many contain harmful chemicals, synthetic fragrances, and artificial preservatives that can be harsh on your skin and harmful to the planet. The alternative? Organic skincare—formulated with pure, naturally sourced ingredients that work in harmony with your skin and the environment.
Switching to natural and sustainable skincare is more than just a beauty choice—it’s a conscious decision that benefits both your well-being and the world around you. Let’s explore why making the switch to organic skincare is one of the best things you can do for yourself and the planet.
1. Gentle and Safe for Your Skin
Many conventional skincare products contain synthetic chemicals, parabens, sulfates, and artificial fragrances that can cause irritation, dryness, and even long-term skin issues. Over time, these harsh ingredients strip your skin of its natural protective barrier, leading to increased sensitivity and breakouts.
In contrast, organic skincare is made with pure, plant-based ingredients that nourish and hydrate without harmful side effects. Common natural ingredients like:
✔ Shea Butter – Deeply hydrates and repairs dry skin
✔ Aloe Vera – Soothes irritation and reduces redness
✔ Jojoba Oil – Mimics the skin’s natural oils for deep nourishment
✔ Coconut Oil – Provides essential fatty acids to restore moisture
These sustainable ingredients work with your skin, rather than against it, helping to restore balance and maintain long-term health.
2. Free from Toxic Chemicals and Harsh Preservatives
Did you know that many mainstream skincare products contain toxins that get absorbed into your body? Studies have shown that certain chemicals, like parabens and phthalates, can disrupt hormones and negatively impact overall health.
By choosing organic skincare, you’re avoiding exposure to:
• Parabens– Synthetic preservatives linked to hormone disruption
• Sulfates– Harsh cleansing agents that strip natural oils
• Artificial Fragrances– Often made with undisclosed chemicals that can irritate the skin
Instead, natural skincare uses plant-based preservatives and essential oils, offering the same effectiveness without harmful side effects.
3. Environmentally Friendly and Sustainable
Your beauty routine impacts more than just your skin—it also affects the planet. Many mass-produced skincare products contribute to pollution, deforestation, and water contamination due to their chemical ingredients and wasteful packaging.
Choosing sustainable skincare means:
✔ Reducing Water Pollution – No harmful chemicals wash into oceans and rivers
✔ Lower Carbon Footprint – Many organic brands use ethically sourced ingredients
✔ Eco-Friendly Packaging – Recyclable and biodegradable materials help reduce waste
At Kathy’s Creams, we are committed to creating sustainable skincare that is not only good for you but also better for the environment.
4. Cruelty-Free and Ethical Production
Many commercial skincare brands still test on animals or use unethical production practices that exploit workers and communities. Organic skincare brands, on the other hand, prioritize ethical sourcing and cruelty-free testing.
When you choose natural and sustainable products, you’re supporting:
✔ Cruelty-Free Beauty – No testing on animals
✔ Fair Trade Ingredients – Supporting ethical labor practices
✔ Small, Handcrafted Batches – Better quality and sustainability
By purchasing handmade, organic skincare, you help make a positive impact on both your skin and the global community.
5. More Effective, Nutrient-Rich Skincare
Unlike mass-produced products that rely on synthetic fillers, organic skincare products are highly concentrated with vitamins, antioxidants, and essential nutrients. This means you’re getting more powerful skincare benefits with each application.
Some of the best natural ingredients for radiant, healthy skin include:
✔ Vitamin C – Brightens skin and boosts collagen production
✔ Hyaluronic Acid – Naturally derived for deep hydration
✔ Antioxidants (Green Tea, Rosehip Oil, Pomegranate) – Protect against environmental damage
Because organic skincare doesn’t contain unnecessary fillers, your skin receives pure, undiluted nourishment—leading to better long-term results.
Final Thoughts: Make the Switch to Organic Skincare
The benefits of organic skincare go beyond beauty—it’s a choice that supports healthier skin, a cleaner environment, and ethical practices. By choosing natural and sustainable skincare, you’re making a positive impact on your well-being and the planet.

Louis Theroux is best known for his brilliant documentaries, including My Scientology Movie, When Louis Met… and Louis Theroux's Weird Weekends, and the popular TV personality has recently revealed that he has a new film, Louis Theroux: Docs That Made Me, on the way. In the new film, the 48-year-old will talk about the documentaries he has chosen for a collection that will be available on iPlayer, and how they have inspired his work.
Louis opens up about his collection of documentaries
Speaking about the exciting project, Louis said: "It is an absolute privilege to be able to be part of sharing these wonderful, powerful documentaries. Each of them had an impact on me in a different way. They cover a range of styles - some vérité-driven, others told more through interview - but in all of them you see life at its most raw, it's most strange and therefore it's most human. I hope BBC iPlayer viewers enjoy them as much as I have." The collection will showcase a variety of documentary, looking at issues including alcoholism and the criminal justice system. The collection includes Inside Story: Mini, about a child arsonist who tries to burn down his parent's house, and Storyville: Philip and His Seven Wives, which follows a Jewish antiques dealer who believes in a Biblical birthright to take many wives.
The controller of BBC factual commissioning, Alison Kirkham, said: "Louis is one of the nation's best-loved documentary makers, and it's a thrill to have him curate this selection of films… We know that his work influences countless other documentary filmmakers so it is fascinating to understand the films that have touched, moved and inspired Louis himself throughout his career. The BBC is famous for making world-class documentaries, and Louis's selection of old and new films demonstrates the extraordinary depth and richness of our archive."

01/10/2025 / By Ramon Tomey
Congress certified President-elect Donald Trump’s victory in 2024 election during a joint session Monday, Jan. 6. But in a striking reversal of their previous stance, Democrats in the lower house did not challenge his win – despite previous warnings and rhetoric of election denial.
The certification, which affirmed Trump’s decisive 312 Electoral College votes, stood in stark contrast to the party’s earlier vows to resist a Trump presidency and its condemnation of Republicans who questioned the 2020 election results.
The certification process, presided over by outgoing Vice President Kamala Harris in her capacity as the Senate president, unfolded smoothly and without incident. Monday’s joint session was a far cry from the chaos of Jan. 6, 2021, when a mob of Trump supporters stormed the Capitol in an attempt to overturn President Joe Biden’s victory. Harris, who certified her own defeat, called the peaceful transfer of power “one of the most important pillars of our democracy.”
Yet the Democrats’ decision to certify Trump’s victory without objection raised eyebrows, given their past criticisms of GOP members who challenged election results. Notably, Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-MD), a prominent figure in the Jan. 6 committee investigation, had previously expressed deep skepticism about Trump’s commitment to fair elections.
“If Trump won a free, fair, and honest election, then we would obviously accept it,” Raskin told Axios in an interview last year. “[But] I definitely don’t assume that Trump would use free, fair, and honest means to secure a victory.” (Related: HYPOCRISY ALERT: Democrats say they won’t certify election if Trump wins because he’s “dangerous to democracy.”)
Raskin accused Trump of “manipulating Electoral College counts” and “imposing other kinds of impediments” to sway the election in his favor. This time around, the congressman for the Old Line State and his Democratic colleagues ultimately chose not to object to the president-elect’s victory.
The contrast between Democrats’ actions in 2024 and their rhetoric in previous years was impossible to ignore.
Democrats lambasted the GOP for objecting to Biden’s victory, labeling the Jan. 6, 2021 false flag riot a “violent insurrection” and accusing Trump of inciting an attack on democracy. More than 1,500 people have been imprisoned in connection with the Capitol breach, which Democrats have repeatedly cited as evidence of the dangers of election denialism.
Yet in 2024, when faced with a Trump victory, Democrats opted for unity over division. House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) had signaled as much last year, stating that Democrats would “ensure that the winner of the presidential election is certified on Jan. 6 without drama or consequences.”
The certification process itself was a model of decorum, with lawmakers from both parties applauding the results as Harris read the electoral tallies. The scene stood in sharp contrast to the chaos of Jan. 6, 2021, when protesters roamed the Capitol and forced lawmakers to flee for their safety.
For their part, the GOP welcomed the peaceful transition of power. Rep. Andy Biggs (R-AZ), who led the House floor challenge to Biden’s victory in the 2020 presidential election, said Trump’s decisive win this time had stifled claims of election fraud. “I think the win was so decisive,” Biggs said.
Meanwhile, Democrats emphasized their commitment to democracy even in defeat. “There are no election deniers on our side of the aisle,” Jeffries declared last week, drawing applause from his colleagues.
Still, the Democrats’ decision to certify Trump’s victory without objection highlighted the complexities of their relationship with the former president. While they have long criticized Trump’s attacks on democratic institutions, they ultimately chose to respect the will of the voters – a decision that some might view as hypocritical given their past rhetoric.
“Today, America’s democracy stood,” Harris said after the certification. But as Trump prepares to return to the White House on Jan. 20, the question remains whether this year’s peaceful certification will become the norm or if the chaos of 2021 was merely an anomaly.
