Sweet and Salty Cookies- gluten-free, top 8 allergen free
These cookie are show stoppers! We give these cookies as gifts, take them for class parties, and any gathering we go to. People go crazy for these cookies, even those without food restrictions. Our local friends order these from us in large quantities so they don't run out. They are the perfect sweet and salty cookie with everything you could want in a cookie. Whoever decided that sweet and salty belong together deserves a medal of honor! There really is nothing better, in our opinion. If you disagree, that's ok, we have plenty of solely sweet cookies for you! Next time you need to take a dessert, let these be the ones you take! You can thank us later. ;) We make these in HUGE batches, by huge we mean 100 at a time! You can make the dough and freeze it in pucks for an amazing cookie anytime you want or to make a whole batch to share. Head on over and grab a Rustic Scoop™ Cookie Mix so you can make these!
Sweet and Salty Cookies
1 Rustic Scoop™ Cookie Baking Mix
2/3 Cup Shortening
1 teaspoon Vanilla
2 Flax eggs: 2 Tablespoons ground flax + 6 Tablespoons hot water, 2 whole eggs, or powdered egg replacer for 2 eggs
1/3 Cup Safe pretzels (then crush them up)
2/3 Cup Chocolate chips
1/3 Cup Safe Caramel
Coarse sea salt or Pink Himalayan salt
Preheat oven to 350°F and prepare cookie sheet with parchment paper. In a small bowl, combine the flax meal and hot water.
In a mixing bowl, cream the shortening until it is smooth. Butter can be used, but we much prefer shortening. I don’t think coconut oil will work well so please don’t use that. Next, add the vanilla and flax/eggs with the shortening and mix on medium speed until they are well combined. Then slowly add the contents the Rustic Scoop™ Cookie Mix and mix until well combined. Mix in the chocolate chips and crushed up pretzels until well combined. The dough will be thick.
Using a medium cookie scoop (1 ¾ inches in diameter)/ 3 Tablespoons/ (1.5 oz) place dough balls onto the prepared cookie sheets leaving 1 inch between cookies. Gently press your dough down just until the dough on top is flat. The dough should be about 2 3/8 inches in diameter and ¾ inches thick. Place your cookie sheet with dough balls into your freezer for *10 minutes.
When you are ready to bake your cookies, place cookies on prepared baking sheet. These cookies will spread quite a bit so we put two dough balls in a row, the next row we put one cookie, and continue that pattern. If you used the flax eggs, bake for 14-16 minutes on 350°F or until slightly crisp on top. If you used whole eggs, bake for 12-14 minutes on 350°F or until they are golden on top. The cookies will be fluffy when you take them out of the oven, but will settle. When you take the cookies out of the oven leave them on the pan for about 5 minutes until they settle. Then carefully transfer them to a cooling rack until they are cool to the touch. If you eat them too early (tempting I know) they will fall apart easily.
While the cookies are baking, melt safe caramel with 1-2 Tablespoons milk of choice. Mix with a spoon until smooth. Once the cookies are cool, drizzle with caramel sauce and sprinkle with salt. Enjoy!
*If you don’t plan on eating the cookies right away, once the dough balls are frozen, transfer them to an airtight freezer safe container. When you are ready to bake them, continue with the baking directions.

The Aravalli Range, an eroded stub of ancient mountains, is the oldest range of Fold Mountains in India. The natural history of the Aravalli Range dates back to a pre-Indian subcontinental collision with the mainland Eurasian Plate. It is part of the Indian Shield that was formed from a series of cratonic collisions. In ancient times, Aravalli were extremely high but since have worn down almost completely by millions of years of weathering. The Aravalli Range joins two of the ancient earth's crust segments that make up the greater Indian Craton, the Aravalli Craton and the Bundelkand Craton generally found in the interiors of tectonic plates.
Haryana Aravalli ranges, in the west contains basement rocks that are quartzite with chiastolite, the upper layers of quartz porphyry ring dyke, felsite, welded tuff and muscovite biotite granite rocks have commercially nonviable tin, tungsten and copper.
The Aravalli Range has been site of three broad stages of human history
1. early stone age saw the use of flint stones
2. mid-stone age saw the domestication of cattle for agriculture
3. post stone age saw the development of the Kalibangan civilization, 4,000 years old Aahar civilization and 2,800 years old Ganeshwar civilization, Aarayan civilization and Vedic era civilizations.
Mining of copper and other metals in the Aravalli range dates back to at least 5th century BC.
The Aravalli Range has several forests with a diversity of environment.
The Aravalli Range is rich in wildlife. The first 2017 wildlife survey of 200 square meter area across five districts (Gurgaon, Faridabad, Mewat, Rewari and Mahendergarh) of Haryana found 14 species, including leopards, striped hyena, golden jackal, nilgai, palm civet, wild pig, rhesus macaque, peafowl and Indian crested porcupine

Habeas Corpus:: Kashmir.
British Lord Atkins throughout WW II stated “Amidst the conflict of arms, the legal guidelines aren’t silent. They could also be modified, however they communicate the identical language in battle as in peace.”
Justice H R Khanna had cited this argument whereas giving his dissent word in ADM Jabalpur case also referred to as The Habeas Corpus case throughout the darkest interval of Indian historical past i.e. Emergency imposed by Smt Gandhi. It is fascinating to notice that whereas a lot of the High Courts in India had been permitting petitions beneath Habeas Corpus and passing orders in opposition to the Government of India’s detention orders, Supreme Court blinked. All the opposite 4 SC Judges within the stated case concurred with the opinion of the Government Attorney General Niren Dey, that no citizen had any proper to maneuver to the courts in opposition to any arbitrary motion by the federal government, which resulted within the lack of his/her liberty and even life.
The latest report that there are about 250 habeas corpus circumstances pending in High Court in Srinagar jogged my memory of the stated ADM Jabalpur case aka The Habeas Corpus Case.
Habeas Corpus has a historical past of 800 years. It is a part of Magna Carta (1215) the very basis stone of Democracy on this planet. It acknowledged in Magna Carta that “No man shall be arrested or imprisoned besides by the lawful judgment of his friends and by the regulation of the land”.
Habeas corpus had initially originated as an instrument in opposition to the king’s “divine proper to incarcerate individuals”.
In a democracy Judiciary is the custodian of citizen’s elementary rights. Writ of habeas corpus is the basic instrument for safeguarding particular person freedom in opposition to arbitrary and lawless state motion. It is the accountability of the Judiciary to make sure that they stand between the freedom of a citizen and state’s arbitrary motion.

Without a sheath called myelin, electrical impulses would travel through our nervous system along the biological equivalent of naked wires. Energy would be lost and signals would never reach distant locations in the body. Evolution produced a solution that would be familiar to any electrical engineer: insulators. In the body this function is performed by cells that manufacture high amounts of myelin, which is a mixture of protein and fat molecules called lipids. Then they wrap themselves in sheaths around the long, wire-like axons of neurons. In a number of serious diseases, the sheaths break down in an irreversible process that disrupts communication, leading to the death of nerve cells and ultimately the affected human or animal. Now in a collaborative project with other MDC groups, Carmen Birchmeier’s lab has found a signaling system in cells which can activate the production of myelin proteins. The work was published in a recent edition of Genes and Development.
In the peripheral nervous system (outside the brain and spinal cord), specialized Schwann cells produce huge quantities of myelin, undergo massive expansions of their membranes, and wrap themselves around axons. In mice this process starts around birth and continues into adulthood, but at some point it falls off. Initially external signals such as growth factors, provided by the axon, activate genes that produce myelin and lipid-producing enzymes in Schwann cells. This triggers the transcription of the genes into RNA molecules and must be followed by a second step – the translation of RNA into proteins – for the cells to assume their proper functions in the nervous system.
“The amount of myelin that cells produce needs to be precisely controlled,” Carmen says. “Axons have various diameters, and their size determines the thickness of the sheath. Quite a bit is known about the biochemical signals that promote or block myelin transcription, but technical limitations have prevented us from getting a close look at the second step, translation. This is what we have addressed in the current project.”
Matthias Selbach’s lab at the MDC has developed a method of observing the times and rates at which proteins are synthesized from RNAs in mice. The method is based on pulsed SILAC (for stable isotope labeling with amino acids in cell culture) which involves transferring cells from one growth medium to another. The first contains normal forms of amino acids, the building blocks used to make proteins. In the second medium, some amino acids include nonradioactive heavy isotopes. These markers can be detected in an instrument called a mass spectrometer. Scientists can then study protein populations in cells and precisely distinguish between molecules synthesized before the transfer and those created afterwards.
Erik McShane has now further developed this pulsed SILAC technique to allow the method to be used in mice and other living organisms. Animals are given milk or food containing amino acids labeled with the heavy isotopes. The change has no adverse effects on their health and allows scientists to observe the time points and the rates at which specific proteins are produced.
Previous work from Carmen’s lab and others had revealed that a molecule called Neuregulin-1, or Nrg-1, normally triggers the transcription of myelin RNA through a cellular biochemical pathway called MAPK. Such pathways change the behavior of many molecules; stimulation with Nrg-1 activates other molecules called ErbB3 and Shp2. Interfering with these molecules or other targets of the signal disrupted the development of Schwann cells and the production of myelin sheaths. The MAPK pathway is normally tuned down over the course of aging, meaning that at some point in adulthood, Schwann cells lose most of their ability to replenish or repair the myelin.
In the current study, Maria Sheean, Cyril Cheret and other members of Carmen’s lab discovered an alternative pathway by which cells can trigger myelin production. “We stimulated MAPK signaling with another signal, a form of the molecule MAP kinase kinase 1, or Mek1,” Carmen says. “This activates proteins called Erk1, Erk2, S6 and eIF4E and results in a continuous production of new myelin proteins and enzymes that produce lipids. Using the SILAC method, we saw that this isn’t happening because cells are producing new RNAs. Instead, it is because many RNAs that have been put ‘on hold’ are now being translated into proteins.”
The scientists discovered that mice which had been genetically modified to produce an overactive form of Mek1, called Mek1DD, produced higher-than-normal amounts of myelin. This had two effects: it prevented the drop in myelin production that normally accompanies aging. Additionally, it led to the formation of thicker myelin sheaths around some axons, in some cases so thick that they compressed the nerve.
The findings offer a potential new target in the search for new ways to treat diseases that affect myelin sheaths. “Mek1DD activates MAPK signaling and overcomes the control mechanisms that normally end myelination,” Carmen says. “This suggests that activating MAPK might restimulate the production of the protein and allow Schwann cells to reinsulate damaged nerves.”

**innovative Library Diversity Exploration**
The concept of innovative library diversity exploration is becoming increasingly salient in the realm of library science. Within the dynamic landscape of modern libraries, diversity and innovation are paramount for fostering inclusive and equitable access to information for all users. Libraries serve as pivotal community hubs, and their role in accommodating diverse populations through innovative strategies cannot be understated. This exploration of diversity pushes libraries to transcend traditional boundaries, thereby creating a more welcoming and resourceful environment for an eclectic range of patrons.
The Significance of Diversity in Library Innovation
In contemporary society, libraries stand as crucial entities that bridge the gaps between various cultural, educational, and socioeconomic divides. Innovative library diversity exploration encompasses both the acknowledgment and integration of diverse voices, perspectives, and needs within library services. By embracing diversity, libraries can enhance their offerings, ensuring relevance and accessibility to a broader audience. Patrons from different backgrounds aremore likely to engage with library resources when they see their diverse needs being met through tailored services and relevant content.
To achieve this, libraries must invest in continuous innovation. This might involve the incorporation of cutting-edge technologies, partnerships with diverse stakeholders, and the development of specialized programs that cater to underserved communities. For instance, hosting workshops on indigenous knowledge systems or providing multilingual resources exemplifies how libraries can utilize innovative library diversity exploration to enhance user engagement. Through these measures, libraries not only support community learning but also promote cultural understanding and acceptance, vital components of a thriving, inclusive society.
Furthermore, innovative library diversity exploration is instrumental in addressing digital inequities that some user groups face. Libraries are uniquely positioned to offer resources such as internet access, digital literacy programs, and assistive technologies that empower all patrons, irrespective of their backgrounds. By forging inclusive digital landscapes, libraries reinforce their mission of equitable information dissemination and support the broader social goal of digital inclusion.
Strategies for Implementing Diversity Exploration in Libraries
1. Technology Integration: Libraries can implement innovative library diversity exploration by adopting advanced technologies, such as virtual reality or AI, to create immersive, educational experiences.
2. Community Partnerships: Establishing collaborations with local organizations can facilitate the development of programs that reflect and serve the diverse makeup of the community.
3. Cultural Programs and Events: Hosting events that celebrate and educate about different cultures fosters a more inclusive library environment.
4. Inclusive Resources: Curating a collection that reflects diverse voices and perspectives is a key aspect of innovative library diversity exploration.
5. Staff Training: Continuous education and training for library staff on cultural competence and diversity issues can enhance service delivery.
Challenges and Opportunities in Library Diversity
In the pursuit of innovative library diversity exploration, libraries face both challenges and opportunities. Among the challenges is the rigid structural approach that traditionally characterizes many library systems. Existing policies and procedures may require amendments to align with evolving diversity goals. Additionally, there may be budgetary constraints that limit the scope of innovation. Overcoming these barriers necessitates strategic planning, resource allocation, and the active involvement of stakeholders committed to inclusive practices.
Opportunities, however, are abundant. Libraries can leverage digital platforms to reach broader audiences, thereby democratizing access to information. Social media, webinars, and online databases enable libraries to connect with users across geographical boundaries, enhancing the scope of their services. Furthermore, by engaging in innovative library diversity exploration, libraries have the potential to set benchmarks in community service delivery, ultimately becoming leaders in social innovation and inclusion.
Enhancing User Engagement through Innovative Diversity Exploration
As part of innovative library diversity exploration, libraries are increasingly focusing on enhancing user engagement by creating environments that resonate with their patrons’ diverse experiences. This involves reimagining library spaces to be more flexible and accommodating, enabling the hosting of various community events and discussions that drive social cohesion. Libraries that prioritize diversity are better equipped to respond to the specific needs of their users, fostering greater community involvement and a sense of ownership over the library space.
Libraries are also exploring new avenues for knowledge sharing by incorporating socially relevant themes into their offerings. By showcasing content that reflects contemporary societal issues, libraries encourage critical thinking and dialogue among patrons. In doing so, libraries become active participants in community development, reflecting the principles of innovative library diversity exploration. Furthermore, by developing outreach programs and services tailored to marginalized groups, libraries can extend their impact, ensuring that no community member is left behind.
Another significant aspect of innovative library diversity exploration is the emphasis on feedback-driven services. By actively soliciting input from patrons on their needs and preferences, libraries can continuously refine their offerings to better fit the community’s evolving dynamics. This user-centered approach ensures libraries remain vital, relevant, and accessible, underscoring their role as essential civic institutions.
Future Prospects of Library Diversity Exploration
The future of innovative library diversity exploration is intrinsically linked to broader societal transformations. As demographics shift and digital landscapes evolve, libraries must remain agile, adaptive, and responsive to change. The commitment to diversity and inclusion will continue to underpin library strategies, guiding the evolution of services and program offerings to meet the needs of an ever-changing populace. The pursuit of innovation and diversity equips libraries to not only support contemporary learning needs but also anticipate future challenges and opportunities.
Libraries are also poised to become leaders in sustainability and resilience. By integrating environmentally conscious practices and resource-sharing models, libraries can further enhance their role as community exemplars of innovation and diversity. This holistic approach to innovative library diversity exploration ensures libraries remain at the forefront of progress, embodying the principles of inclusivity, accessibility, and continuous learning.
As we delve deeper into the realm of innovative library diversity exploration, it becomes evident that libraries possess the capacity to substantially influence social transformation. The integration of diverse personnel, resources, and strategies within library systems facilitates the creation of environments that are representative and accessible to all. Libraries that champion inclusivity not only enrich their communities but also foster a global culture of understanding and cooperation. Commitment to diversity and innovation ensures that libraries will continue to thrive as pivotal societal pillars in the years to come. Through sustained efforts and strategic innovation, libraries will persist as central figures in the journey towards greater equity and knowledge sharing.
In summary, innovative library diversity exploration is a critical and timely endeavor that holds tremendous promise for the future of libraries worldwide. By embracing this paradigm, libraries enrich their offerings, expand their reach, and solidify their role as indispensable community institutions. Recognizing and harnessing the potential of diversity empowers libraries to navigate the complexities of contemporary society and emerge as beacons of inclusivity, resilience, and hope.

text:
"Outlander" Season 3's brand new trailer is out and it shows Jamie pining desperately for his old love Claire. Incidentally, the latter traveled back to her own time making it difficult for Jamie to get in touch with her despite all the efforts.
Right now, both Jamie and Claire are living in different centuries but the former is determined to find his ex-flame. Get to know more details, here.
"Outlander" Season 3 To Show Older Versions Of Lead Pair Reuniting
Earlier, the second season of the series showed Jamie surviving the Battle of Culloden. However, it is a big of a struggle for him to live without Claire, reports EconoTimes. On the other hand, Claire is trying her best to rekindle feelings in the relationships that she left behind in the 18th century.
In the upcoming "Outlander" Season 3, she will focus on her relationship with her daughter from Jamie, Brianna Randall/Mackenzie Fraser (Sophie Skelton) and her husband from the 18th century, Frank Randall (Tobias Menzies). The latest trailer shows Jamie sending Claire back in time, using the stones and the way he suffers after their separation.
In one of the shots of the "Outlander" Season 3 trailer, it shows Claire attending the graduation ceremony of her daughter, as she tries to remember the life in that particular century. On the contrary, Jamie is still struggling to come to terms with the post-war situation.
Will Jamie And Claire Build Their Respective Lives Apart?
According to Vanity Fair, as the years go by, Jamie and Claire are now getting used to living apart from each other. Even then, the memory of their lost love continues to haunt them. Claire still believes that there is a possibility that she will return to Jamie but few doubts still linger on.
"Outlander" Season 3 is all about the love story of Jamie and Claire and is sure to be full of love, adversity, adventure, and more.


title: New dorset bike share scheme span three new areas

text:
Later this summer, 121 e-bikes will be made available to hire across Dorchester, Weymouth and the scenic Isle of Portland to help encourage even more sustainable transport habits across Dorset.
The e-bikes will be hired from and returned to 30 ‘Beryl bays’, which will be located following consultation with key stakeholders.
The scheme will be operated by Beryl on behalf of Dorset Council with the set-up costs being funded by the council.
Beryl CEO and co-founder, Phil Ellis, said: “Dorset is not only a picturesque area with plenty to see and do, it also has a clear ambition to encourage more sustainable transport choices.
“Our e-bikes are a fun, easy and versatile way to travel and their extra power can really open up areas, enabling riders to tackle hills and undertake longer journeys.
“They’re also great for commuting, helping to reduce physical exertion and allowing people to arrive at work clean and ready to go.
“By encouraging more people to swap four wheels for two, we can hopefully contribute even more towards reducing traffic congestion while improving air quality and public health.”
Cllr Jon Andrews, Dorset Council’s Cabinet Member for Place Services, said: “We’re looking forward to these new e-bikes arriving in Portland, Weymouth and Dorchester. They offer the perfect way to explore this wonderful area and, with the added electric boost, you’ll be able to make light work of the trip.”
Cllr Nick Ireland, Dorset Council’s Cabinet Member for Climate, continued: “As a council, we are committed to addressing climate change, and we have an important role to play in driving our county towards net zero. This innovative scheme makes it easier for more residents and visitors to enjoy Dorset’s great outdoors while helping protect the environment too.”
Users will be able to pay for their journeys in a variety of ways to suit individual needs and circumstances, with Pay-As-You-Ride, Minute Bundle and various pass options.
Beryl currently operates a 202 bike/e-bike share scheme with Dorset Council in the southeast of the region. Launched in August 2022, the bikes are available to hire from 43 bays across Wimborne, Colehill, West Parley, West Moors, Ferndown, Upton and Corfe Mullen providing a convenient link up with the neighbouring Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole (BCP) bike, e-bike and e-scooter share scheme.
Since launching, the scheme has generated almost 21,000 journeys across nearly 90,000 kilometres, saving approximately two tonnes of carbon emissions, according to industry calculations.
The Beryl app is available for free download on the App Store for iOS and the Google Play Store for Android users, ensuring a seamless experience for all.

From my personal experience I find the business unreliable and willing to lie rather than test and provide the details regarding the recent issues with the San Gabriel River and the City of Leander that they represent. TCEQ did the testing and verified the problems and violations yet this firm deny's (without verification) the findings of TCEQ. Those living on the river for years know when this started and it's a shame the city making the profits refuse to acknowledge their failures.


title: Fast raspberry pi minecraft server install script

text:
Many things have changed since I wrote my last Raspberry Pi Minecraft Server guide. OpenJDK is now the better supported Java for Raspberry Pi and Oracle has discontinued support for Java 8 in January 2019. Java 11 is out and offers a ton of performance improvements.
The Raspberry Pi 4* has also arrived! After testing the server on the 4B 2GB version using OpenJDK 11 I was blown away by the performance and decided to write an updated guide and a script that will have you up and running in minutes.
To give you a taste of how smooth the timings are in OpenJDK 11 headless using the Paper Spigot Minecraft Server here is a nearly 2 hour session I played with my girlfriend. This was played in survival mode on a brand new server so no blocks had been pregenerated and no settings were modified from the defaults. Nothing is overclocked except the SD card. There was even a village right by the spawn so many entities were in use. Here’s the timings output report:
RPI Minecraft Server Requirements
The Raspberry Pi 4 is available in different memory configurations all the way up to 8 GB. It’s about the size of a credit card and uses an extremely low amount of power making it ideal for all sorts of projects and ideas!
For a SSD setup:
The SanDisk Extreme Pro USB SSD is a true solid state drive. This is different than a typical “flash drive” which uses extremely cheap memory and has very low random I/O performance/throughput compared to a real solid state drive. I’ve used both the USB 3.1 and USB 3.2 variants with the Pi successfully and they benchmark very well!
Optional and meant to be used in place of SSD. This is the best choice for performance but can be pricey. For further explanation about the benefits see this article about MicroSD vs. Solid State on the Raspberry Pi)
For a MicroSD setup:
The SanDisk Extreme A1-A2 SD card has the best scoring SD card on Pi Benchmarks for years and is second in popularity only to the SanDisk Ultra (often included in combo kits). The application class (A1) means random I/O speeds (very important when running an OS) have to meet a higher standard. There’s no benefit on the Pi for A2 right now so get whichever is cheaper/available.
Minecraft Server Setup Script
I highly recommend using Docker over the standalone version for most people. Installing Docker is as simple as sudo apt install docker.io. There are 3 Docker options available:
- The Docker version that has Geyser + Floodgate installed (allowing people running Minecraft Bedrock Edition such as on iOS, Android, and console to connect)
- The Docker version that runs the Purpur Minecraft server with Geyser + Floodgate installed (allowing people running Minecraft Bedrock Edition to connect)
- The Docker version that only includes the Paper Minecraft server (the same as this standalone version)
SSH into your Raspberry Pi and type/paste the following commands:
curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/TheRemote/RaspberryPiMinecraft/master/SetupMinecraft.sh | bash
This will start the server and configuration setup process. It will ask you some questions on how you want to configure the server and then automatically download, setup and start the server. Follow the Minecraft Server setup script in-depth guide here for a walkthrough.
… and we’re done! The Minecraft server is now in the folder “minecraft”. To start the server type:
cd minecraft ./start.sh
The server will start in the background using the screen application. To view the console type:
screen -r minecraft
From this console you can issue any command to the Minecraft server. The most important one you should know is the command to safely stop the server. This will save all players and states which is simply “stop” without the quotes.
To get out of the console without closing the server press Ctrl+A and then Ctrl+D. This will minimize the screen session and put you back in your main console session. The screen session will continue to run even if you disconnect from your SSH session to your Pi!
For a more in depth guide/walkthrough of the installation script check out this post covering the setup script in depth.
Pi Specific Performance Optimizations: Storage and GPU Memory
The most important optimization you can make is high performance storage. Read my Raspberry Pi Storage Benchmarks article to see why some storage mediums are over 1000% faster for I/O which is the most critical factor for a Raspberry Pi Minecraft server. You can also use USB adapters for mSATA SSDs (cheap on eBay) or a USB to SATA cable* if you have a 2.5″ older SSD.
If you are going to use MicroSD anyway you must use a high performance MicroSD card and overclock your SD card reader to obtain the best performance. It is normally 50hz to ensure compatibility with the cheap low quality cards but goes all the way up to 100hz. Storage speed is a major bottleneck on the Pi and this increases your read/write speeds.
The second most important optimization is setting your GPU to only use 16mb of RAM. Since RAM is at a premium on the Pi it needs need as much as possible (64 MB is used by default). This is all done in the Raspberry Pi’s /boot/config.txt file. Type:
sudo nano /boot/config.txt
Then place these lines at the bottom of your config.txt file:
Now restart your Pi using
That’s it! If your Pi won’t boot up after doing the SD card overclock don’t panic. Just put the SD card in any computer and remove the line dtparam=sd_overclock=100 from boot.txt. You can do it from Windows using notepad or any other text editor on any OS as the boot partition is always visible.
If you are using a older Raspberry Pi or a Raspberry Pi Zero then you may want to overclock it as well for smooth performance in game. My favorite guide for overclocking older Raspberry Pis is located at the one and only RetroPie project wiki page located here. The CPU and memory overclocking is going to be the most beneficial.
Minecraft Optimizations – The Timings Tool
If you are using an older Pi or have more than a few players using the server you may need to do some optimizations. The most important thing to understand about optimizing your Minecraft server is to understand what is slowing it down. There is an extremely useful tool built into the Paper Minecraft server called timings. In the intro to this post I posted a picture of the graphs from this report.
To start the timings measurements open up your Minecraft console with the screen -r minecraft command like I covered earlier. Once in the Minecraft console type:
The longer you take timings the better insight you will get into what is slowing down your server. It is best to play as you normally would when taking these timings so you are taking accurate measurements. To generate the report type the following:
This will give a link to paste in a web browser to view an incredibly detailed report.
Correctly Interpreting Timings
There are several different views available. It is important not to look only at the “Lag” category but also view the “All” category. If you only look at “Lag” you’re only seeing part of the picture. This is useful for identifying major “spikey” slowdowns but not the overall performance of the server. Check the “All” tab and toggle between total, average and count to understand how your server is performing.
In this example we can see some of the more expensive operations on my server are entities and chunks. Entities are monsters/animals/items/villagers/etc. Chunks are the map itself. If you are doing heavy exploring on a new server you may see very large numbers for chunks. This is due to the Pi generating them and storing them on the SD card (slow). If you are spending lots of time in villages or fighting monsters the entities may be high.
If you are not getting good performance and you have ran the timings tool here are some of the usual suspects to look for and possible optimizations to apply:
- Be careful with mods/plugins – This is one of the most frequent causes of poor performance. Some mods massively increase the load on the server. The best way to find which plugin is doing this is to disable all plugins and enable them one at a time until you see the performance issues and have isolated the problem plugin.
- Check config files – Configuration files are server.properties, paper.yml, spigot.yml, and bukkit.yml. If unsure about what a setting does google it or consult the documentation. If you screw up your configuration unintentionally then you can revert it to default by removing the file and relaunching the server.
- Lower your entity counts/ranges – Type nano bukkit.yml and in the file you will find spawn-limits: monsters: 70 animals: 15 and several others. You may lower these numbers to limit the number of entities by type. Type nano spigot.yml and you will find entity-activation-range and entity-tracking-range. These control how close you have to be before the server starts making monsters see/track you.
- Disable the Nether and The End – In server.properties. In the sample report you will see the Nether uses CPU cycles (we never went there). When/if your group is ready to go to the Nether you can turn it back on in the properties to re-enable it. You may disable “The End” in bukkit.yml by setting allow-end: false.
- Lower the view distance – This should be a last resort but on older Pi hardware or if you want more than a handful of players this is an option. It will increase performance dramatically because it reduces chunk loading/generation. Since chunk loading/unloading/generation is very I/O intensive the Pi is not very good at it. Change it in server.properties and spigot.yml.
Benchmarking / Testing Storage
If you want to verify your drive’s performance you may want to run my storage benchmark with:
sudo curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/TheRemote/PiBenchmarks/master/Storage.sh | sudo bash
If you search for the model of your drive on pibenchmarks.com you can compare your score with others and make sure the drive is performing correctly!
The Raspberry Pi performs just fine as a Minecraft server for under 5 players. You can have multiplayer in what feels and runs like a single player experience!
For optimization the most important things you can do are
- Pick the right storage (SSD or high quality Micro SD) to be able to keep up with block generation
- Run your timings! This will tell you exactly what is slowing your server down
- Keep plugins to a minimum to prevent swamping the Raspberry Pi with extra instructions
- If all else fails lower the view distance


title: Is your teen depressed learn the signs

text:
Mental health challenges and increasing rates of substance abuse behaviors remain linked throughout life, and research proves that adolescents who experience a major depressive episode are twice as likely to use and abuse alcohol, and more than twice as likely to use and abuse illicit drugs.
People of all ages enduring depression may turn to alcohol or illicit drugs as a way of self medicating the experienced symptoms of the psychiatric disorder, but although while intoxicated teens may feel some relief from negative affective symptoms, the use and misuse of alcohol or illicit drugs almost invariably worsens the negative symptoms of a depressive disorder, and makes eventual treatment more complicated.
Because the teenage years are a period of exploration, and sometimes rapidly oscillating changes and behaviors, parents too often misdiagnose an occurring depression…attributing unusual behaviors as a normal part of the maturing process. While teens do exhibit sometimes erratic behaviors, there are a number of symptoms of depression that if exhibited cannot be considered normal, and may indicate an experienced psychiatric depressive condition.
What Are the Symptoms of Depression in Teens?
People experiencing a depressive episode often initially misattribute the experienced sensations as a normal period of sadness, but if symptoms are severe and last for more than a few weeks, they are not simply transient feelings, but represent a real and significant psychological disorder.
Some common symptoms of depression in teens are:
- Apathy, or a loss of interest in previously enjoyable activities
- sudden weight gain or loss
- Pervasive sadness
- fatigue and lethargy
- feelings of worthlessness
- suicidal thoughts
Parents need to be on the lookout for teens that seem unusually apathetic, fatigued or "down", and if these symptoms persist for more than a few weeks, it is very likely that your teen is experiencing a significant mental disorder. Depression is very unpleasant, can be very dangerous, and is also quite treatable; and early intervention and therapeutic or pharmacological treatment can have real benefits.
If parents suspect depression, they should contact a medical professional, psychologist or psychiatrist for a professional diagnosis and for treatment advice.
Depression can run in families, so if there is a family history of the disorder, parents need to be especially vigilant for signs of a depressive episode.
Depression will not necessarily get better on its own, and because the risks of suicide and substance use and abuse are very elevated by feelings of depression, parents need to intervene, and intervene quickly.
Spotting a Depressive Episode
The best way that parents can be ready to spot a depressive episode or substance use or abuse behaviors is simply to stay involved and active in the lives of teenage children. Some seemingly abnormal behaviors are a normal expression of the transitory period of adolescence, but extreme symptoms such as symptoms of depression are not. By staying involved parents "know" their kids better, and are in a much better position to see problems before they become severe, and also to influence behavioral change amongst adolescent children.
The earlier a teen starts using or abusing alcohol or drugs, the greater their ultimate risk of developing substance abuse and dependency issues. If parents can keep kids away from drugs or alcohol until they are mature adults, they have done a great job keeping their kids safe from the dangers of drugs and alcohol.
Teens feeling depressed deserve quick therapy and appropriate treatment, and the costs of delaying treatment can tragic.

title: 65000 bitcoin price new all time high

text:
Pop out the champagne, because we’re celebrating Bitcoin hitting a brand new all-time high of $65,000! We’ve come a long way these past two years, so let’s quickly recap how we got here and what we’re looking forward to for the rest of the bull run.
On March 12th, 2020, Bitcoin tanked approximately 50% from about $6,000 to about $3,000. All markets crashed that day but because bitcoin is so liquid and easy to sell, it went down the hardest. While there was blood in the streets and many were panic selling, the convicted hodlers were buying like crazy. Us Bitcoiners are Bitcoin’s plunge protection team; we set the floor and drove the price back up. Days after we leveled out and started going back up, many started becoming bullish once again.
That tank in price started an uptrend which saw bitcoin rise from the grave of around $3,000 and march it’s way towards the 2017 all time high of ~$20,000. During this time, we saw MicroStrategy put bitcoin on their balance sheet and announce their plans to adopt a bitcoin standard. Through the year, we saw a few other big institutions announce they’ve bought bitcoin for the first time, resulting in BTC getting taken off the market for good and causing FOMO all around.
Recent corporate buys of #Bitcoin are quickly mopping up supply hangover from 2018 crash
Plus, shoddy market-makers/exchanges like BitMex going offline
A break above $13,000 will result in a quick move to new ATH above $20,000
— Max Keiser (@maxkeiser) October 8, 2020
Without mercy, Bitcoin shot through the teens and up over its 2017 all-time high achieving a new height, but it didn’t stop there. For the next few weeks, bitcoin went on an absolute tear up to around $44,000 – then cooled off back to the high $20,000s / low $30,000s.
BITCOIN HAS HIT A NEW ALL TIME HIGH! pic.twitter.com/3Ivx0Q3zYP
— Bitcoin Magazine (@BitcoinMagazine) December 16, 2020
But that didn’t last for long, as the bulls were still in control. Bitcoin heroically fought back against the bears, slayed them, then marched it’s way up to it’s previous all time high of $64,840 on April 14th, 2021, per Clark Moody Dashboard.
Now we’re over $65,000 and on trajectory for the golden number everyone is waiting for — $100,000. The bulls are in control and the world’s eyes are on Bitcoin. No one knows exactly what is going to happen, but remember that anything can happen.
Sit back, relax, and watch number go up. We made it.

title: God saved me kursk rout sparks panic bombs along ukraine border 557602

text:
The roar of artillery fire was deafening as Tetyana conferred with neighbours in her small village, which hugs the Russian border, over whether they should hold tight or flee.
The days were relatively calm in Myropillya, she said, but the nightly bombardments had become so unbearable that even sheltering in basements no longer felt safe.
"You know what they say, it's only when we start to feel the burning ourselves that we leave," the 59-year-old told AFP.
Finally prompted to flee after Ukraine's shock border incursion into Russia's Kursk region, she was at a gathering point for evacuees in the eastern city of Sumy.
The offensive has been one of Ukraine's speediest operations since Moscow invaded in February 2022. Analysts say it is the most significant ground operation by a foreign army inside Russia since World War II.
Moscow has been forced to redeploy troops and carry out mass civilian evacuations as it struggles to stem the advance.
For Ukraine, it has been a morale boost at an otherwise perilous moment in the war.
But Russia has also responded by pounding Ukrainian border areas -- where it says troops and equipment are stationed -- prompting Ukrainian officials to order the evacuation of some 20,000 people on its side of the new frontline.
Sitting alone and disoriented at the Sumy evacuation centre, 80-year-old Anna was tearful as she described the intensifying artillery fire in her village of Yunakivka, near the border.
"I was about to hang myself. But God saved me," she told AFP.
"But I don't know what to do now," she added, perched on a temporary bed next to the few plastic bags of belongings she had been able to bring with her.
Overseeing efforts to help those who fled, aid worker Vitaliy Kaporukhin said the Ukrainian attack -- planned in secret and launched without warning -- had caught border residents off guard.
"People are upset," said Kaporukhin, who works with the aid organisation, Pluriton. "They're having to leave their homes. They're having to leave everything behind.
"Fortunately, it's an operation from our side, and Russian forces didn't come here. That would have been worse."
AFP journalists saw dozens of Ukrainian military vehicles daubed with white triangles, the insignia apparently used to identify forces involved in Kursk operation, kicking up dust on roads in the Sumy border territory.
Kyiv has been tight-lipped about the operation but a top Ukrainian official told AFP its aim was to destabilise Russia by showing up its weaknesses.
In one frontier village, servicemen who spoke to AFP on condition of anonymity said they had been deployed inside Russia. They described intensive Russian bombardments along the border and in the Kursk region.
Another group preparing to cross into Kursk voiced confidence they could hold ground there, citing weak Russian resistance -- for now.
Ukrainian troops have carved rows of new defensive lines into the Sumy region's landscape.
Closer to the Russian border, smoke trails from Ukrainian projectiles could be seen marking the sky above sweeping fields of bright sunflowers.
The fresh scrutiny on Sumy represents a dramatic shift for a region that, compared with other eastern regions, has been spared the brunt of more than two years of devastating fighting with Russia.
But windows covered by plywood and gutted carcases of Soviet-era buildings point to frequent and deadly aerial attacks on Sumy and the surrounding area.
Air raid sirens and explosions rang out over the city, itself just 30 kilometres (18 miles) from the Russian border, at regular intervals.
Russian President Vladimir Putin's army stormed into the surrounding region when he ordered the invasion in February 2022, but within several weeks had been pushed by an unexpectedly resolute Ukrainian resistance.
This weekend the Ukrainian army said it was the region most heavily targeted by Russian aerial attacks, retaliatory strikes for the ongoing offensive.
"The border villages have already been wiped out," said Tetyana, whose first regret was having to leave behind the pickles she had spent the summer preparing. "There is nothing left there."
Despite the evacuations and the looming threat of Russian retaliation, life has seemed relatively normal in the region's main civilian hub in recent days.
Shouting children played in a water fountain in the centre of the Sumy, which had a population of around 250,000 before the war. Residents enjoyed evening meals on restaurant terraces dotting the historic centre.
At the evacuation centre, residents who had fled reported that Moscow had stepped up attacks, using devastating glide bombs on border areas.
Retired metal worker Mykola, who left his village of Khotyn some 10 kilometres (6 miles) from Russia, admitted it had pained him to have to leave his home.
But he found some consolation from Ukraine's offensive in Kursk.
"Let's let them find out what it's like," the 70-year-old said. "They don't understand what war is.
"Let them have a taste of it."


title: Back from the dead cemetery licence transfer will activate abandoned grave site near st raphaels

text:
LANCASTER – Not wanting to be involved in the burial business, South Glengarry has transferred its operating licence for an “abandoned” cemetery to a local church.
The move comes after the regulatory authority over cemeteries, the Bereavement Authority of Ontario, brought it to the township’s attention that burials were happening under the municipality’s licence.
While the township was not aware the burials were happening until 2015, it wasn’t until this year that BAO considered the operations were being done under the township’s licence.
Even though the Grinley Hill Cemetery is deemed abandoned, the Grinley Hill Cemetery (GHC) Committee has been running the site. The land is owned by Knox United Church.
“The current committee has run GHC without Township permission and without a proper license for a long time,” Corporate Services GM Lachlan McDonald wrote in an Oct. 1 report to council. “To conclude, I don’t believe the Township should be the operator or overseer of active cemeteries,” McDonald wrote.
While the township said it’s never collected any fees or has any money from running the cemetery, unbeknownst to it, the municipality has been accepting the liability while a third party has run the graveyard.
On Monday night (Oct. 15), council agreed to transfer its licence and the responsibility to Knox United Church. Once Knox has the licence in its hands, it could transfer it to St. Andrew’s Presbyterian or St. Andrew’s United or hold it by itself.
The action will also deem the cemetery on Fallowfield Road, south of St. Raphael’s, as an active cemetery rather than abandoned.
South Glengarry does grounds keeping for four other abandoned cemeteries: Gleninore on Glen Road, Baptist in North Lancaster, McLeod on Concession 6 Road and United Church, north of Dalhousie.


title: Evonik creates a small revolution with the development of a novel new reactor 119369

text:
The ROMEO (Reactor Optimization by Membrane Enhanced Operation) project was launched in 2015 with the aim of developing a completely new type of reactor. This is used in homogeneous catalysis, in which olefins are converted into aldehydes with synthesis gas in a hydroformylation reaction.
The newly developed membrane reactor is able to carry out the classic two-step process in just one single step. Previously, the chemical reaction was carried out first and then the product was separated from the catalyst. The reduction of the process to just one step is especially notable in the use of energy. The pilot reactor is 70% more energy and resource efficient While also reducing greenhouse gas emissions by up to 45% than the process used until now, as evaporation of larger quantities of the reaction product is avoided.
The reaction now takes place on a monolith, a kind of cylinder whose inner surface is coated with the catalyst. Its unique feature: the membrane is applied to the outside. This causes the catalyst to remain on the monolith and the reaction product to be separated by the membrane.
Prof. Dr Robert Franke, Project Director of ROMEO and Head of Hydroformylation Research at Evonik, expects the membrane reactor to go on to achieve even greater energy savings: "We're now focusing on further developing the technology. Our goal is the regular use of this new technology in our production."
Therefore, an EU-funded follow-up project has been set up as the next logical step. The partners include 25 companies and research institutions from nine countries. The project, appropriately called MACBETH (Membrane And Catalysts Beyond Economic and Technological Hurdles), is scheduled to start in November.
Evonik is one of the world leaders in specialty chemicals. The focus on more specialty businesses, customer-oriented innovative prowess and a trustful and performance-oriented corporate culture form the heart of Evonik’s corporate strategy. They are the lever for profitable growth and a sustained increase in the value of the company. Evonik benefits specifically from its customer proximity and leading market positions. Evonik is active in over 100 countries around the world. In fiscal 2018, the enterprise with more than 32,000 employees generated sales of €13.3 billion and an operating profit (adjusted EBITDA) of €2.15 billion from continuing operations.
About Performance Materials
The Performance Materials Segment is managed by Evonik Performance Materials GmbH. The segment focuses its global activities on developing and manufacturing intermediates, solutions and additives, especially for use in agriculture and in the rubber and plastics industry. In 2018, the segment’s roughly 1,700 employees generated sales about €2.39 billion from continuing operations.

Windows Server 2003 has reached End of Support, AWS no longer publishes Server 2003 AMIs effective 1st July 2019. Customers with Custom AMIs and or existing instances may continue using them on AWS. AWS has no plans to remove the capability to run Server 2003 on AWS. For more detailed information on Server 2003 and other Microsoft Products that are no longer supported by Microsoft please see End of Support messaging.
Upgrade and migrate to AWS (for Windows Server): For customers running workloads on EOS Windows Server on premises or on AWS, we offer AWS End-of-Support Migration Program (EMP) for Windows Server to assist with migration of such workloads to newer, supported Windows Server versions on Amazon EC2. This program offers technology and expert guidance to migrate applications running on Windows Server 2003, 2008, and 2008 R2. The EMP technology decouples the applications from the underlying OS, enabling AWS Partners or AWS Professional Services to migrate critical applications to a newer, supported version of Windows Server on AWS. For more information on the program and to sign up, visit the program webpage.
Glossary AMI (Amazon Machine Image): Is a template for the root volume for the instance (for example, an operating system, an application server, and applications), manages launch permissions that control which AWS accounts can use the AMI to launch instances. Contains a block device mapping that specifies the volumes to attach to the instance when it's launched. AWS (Amazon Web Services): offers a broad set of global compute, storage, database, analytics, application, and deployment services that help organizations move faster, lower IT costs, and scale applications. AWS Management Console: access and manage Amazon Web Services through a simple and intuitive web-based user interface. BYOL (Bring Your Own License): is a process you can use to deploy software that you have previously licensed on physically dedicated AWS hardware. If you BYOL, you do not pay for instances with licensing included in the cost. Instead, you pay the same rate as EC2 instances with Amazon Linux pricing. When you BYOL, you are responsible for managing your own licenses. CloudEndure: offers reliable business continuity solutions that minimize data loss and downtime due to human errors, network failures, external threats, or any other disruptions. Our Disaster Recovery and Migration solutions are powered by innovative workload mobility technology, which continuously replicates applications from any physical, virtual, or cloud-based infrastructure into Amazon Web Services (AWS). As such, CloudEndure is uniquely qualified to support large-scale, heterogeneous environments with diverse applications and infrastructure. Custom AMI: is an AMI created in your account either built from an imported image or captured from an existing instance. For example, you can launch an instance from an existing AMI, customize the instance, and then save this updated configuration as a custom AMI. Instances launched from this new custom AMI include the customizations that you made when you created the AMI. EC2 (Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud): provides scalable computing capacity in the Amazon Web Services (AWS) cloud. EMP (End-of-Support Migration Program) for Windows Server: program that helps customers with migration of their legacy Windows Server applications to the latest, supported versions of Windows Server on AWS, without any code changes. EOS (End of Support): is a term used to reference Microsoft ending support for a product, in accordance with their Product Lifecycle policy. Hyperscale: refers to the facilities and provisioning required in distributed computing environments to efficiently scale from a few servers to thousands of servers. Hyperscale computing is usually used in environments such as big data and cloud computing. In-Place Upgrade: upgrades the operating system files while your personal settings and files are intact. Instance (EC2 Instance): is a virtual server in the AWS cloud. Its configuration at launch is a copy of the AMI that you specified when you launched the instance. LI (License Included): refers to the use of Amazon's Microsoft Licensing Agreement for Windows Server and SQL Server. LTSC (Long Term Servicing Channel): is a release channel of Windows Server released once per 2-3 years with stability and long term support in mind. LTSC releases provide a predictable OS experience and provide 5 years of traditional support starting from initial release, plus an additional 5 years of extended support for security updates. VMIE (AWS VM Import/Export): is an AWS Service used to import Operating System Images to AWS EC2 in an offline mode. RDS (Amazon Relational Database Service): is a web service that makes it easier to set up, operate, and scale a relational database in the cloud. It provides cost-efficient, resizable capacity for an industry-standard relational database and manages common database administration tasks. SA (Software Assurance): is a comprehensive program offered by Microsoft to help deploy, manage, and use Microsoft products efficiently. SAC (Semi-Annual Channel): is release channel of Windows Server released twice per year with a limited support life cycle, ending 18 months from initial release. SAC releases allow customers to pilot the latest OS features quickly, but are not intended for long term use. SMS (AWS Server Migration Service): is an AWS Service used to import Operating System Images to AWS EC2 in an online mode. WorkSpaces (Amazon Workspaces): is a managed, secure cloud desktop service. You can use Amazon WorkSpaces to provision either Windows or Linux desktops in just a few minutes and quickly scale to provide thousands of desktops to workers across the globe.
Microsoft will officially end support for Windows Server 2003 on July 14, 2015. While many firms are working to migrate their applications and data off aging servers as quickly as possible, a fair number are not migrating for a variety of reasons including the financial cost.
Microsoft is not just ending Windows Server 2003 support, it is also ending support for System Center Endpoint Protection or Forefront Endpoint Protection on Windows Server 2003. Microsoft intends to stop sending updates to anti-malware definitions and the engine for Windows Server 2003. Microsoft said "we have found in our research that the effectiveness of anti-malware solutions on out-of-support operating systems is limited."
Just how many companies will this affect? Bit9, an endpoint security firm, estimates that there are currently nine million Windows Server 2003 installations worldwide, and about 2.7 million of them will still be deployed come July 14, meaning there will be 2.7 million unprotected servers on July 15 vulnerable to zero-day exploits.

Milestone reflects the fastest growth trajectory of any proton center in the United States
New York, NY— February 13, 2023 — The New York Proton Center (NYPC), the New York City-based proton therapy facility established in partnership by Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center, Montefiore Health System and Mount Sinai Health System, today announced the treatment of its 3,000th patient. The milestone, reached in fewer than three and a half years, reflects the center’s record-setting growth as the only provider of proton therapy in New York State. Proton therapy offers a targeted form of radiotherapy shown to improve quality of life and health outcomes for patients with a range of complex cancer conditions.
“This milestone is evidence not only of proton therapy’s efficacy, but also of the high-quality care that our team provides,” said Jonathan Weinbach, Chief Executive Officer of the New York Proton Center. “The immense growth NYPC has achieved in a short period of time speaks to the transformative impact of proton therapy for so many people. In addition to continuing to identify the patients who will benefit most from proton treatment, we remain committed to increasing awareness and accessibility for proton therapy more broadly through our industry-leading research with academic partners across the United States.”
NYPC announced the treatment of its 2,000th patient less than a year ago and remains the fastest growing of the 41 proton centers in the United States. Not only does NYPC treat the most complex case mix of any center nationally, it has also distinguished itself as an industry leader in research, with more than 97% of patients treated enrolled on clinical trials that are helping to advance science and broaden access to proton therapy.
“Our ability to continue to grow our patient volume amid the pandemic to again be the nation’s fastest-growing proton center and now become one of the busiest proton centers in the world is a testament to the strength of our entire team, as well as our modality-leading proton therapy technology. Our advanced radiotherapy resources are especially critical for people with complex cancers,” said Dr. Charles B. Simone II, FACRO, Chief Medical Officer of the New York Proton Center. “Our center treats a uniquely diverse and complex range of cases, and it is so very rewarding to see first-hand just how life-changing this type of treatment has been for a wide variety of patients.”
Ted Lelek of Fairfield, Connecticut is the center’s 3,000th proton therapy patient. Mr. Lelek was treated by Dr. Stanislav Lazarev who is affiliated with Mount Sinai Health System and the New York Proton Center for a meningioma tumor that was surgically removed at Mount Sinai prior to proton therapy at NYPC.
“My experience at the New York Proton Center was second to none, and I am so grateful to have had such a consummate care team by my side for every step of my treatment,” said Ted Lelek, NYPC’s 3,000th patient. “From the moment I first walked through the doors, it was evident that this is a state-of-the-art facility that is simply unmatched in its field. The success of its consortium-driven model of partnering with three of the region’s most prestigious medical institutions has clearly paid off, and I could not have felt more attended to or taken care of by everyone on staff. And, as a resident of Fairfield County, its convenient location right off of the Metro-North made my entire care experience seamless.”
While NYPC’s patient population is predominantly based in the Tri-State Region, patients travel from across the US and overseas to receive care at the center. The case mix of patients treated is wide-ranging and reflects proton therapy’s efficacy in treating complex cases and cancers near sensitive organs. In 2022, 43% of cases treated at NYPC were head and neck cancers, 11% were pediatric patients, 11% were breast cancer patients, and 10% were lung cancer cases. Proton therapy is particularly crucial in the treatment of cancers around sensitive organs due to its precision and ability to target tumors directly while better sparing normal tissues in the immediate surrounding areas.
Proton therapy is often the safest and most effective way to re-treat tumors that previously received radiation, and 43% of NYPC’s patients received reirradiation and a new chance of cure, the highest proportion in the industry.
“We are proud that our patient is part of such a special milestone for the New York Proton Center,” said Dr. Kenneth Rosenzweig, Chair of Radiation Oncology for the Mount Sinai Health System. “New Yorkers are lucky to have an institution like the New York Proton Center that is conducting important research to advance the field of proton therapy while providing exceptional care and treating a large number of patients with an advanced radiotherapy technology that few facilities in the world can offer.”
“Now, because of the New York Proton Center, people throughout our region have more equitable access to the most sophisticated radiation technology than ever before,” said Dr. Shalom Kalnicki, Professor and Chair, Radiation Oncology, Montefiore Health System and Albert Einstein College of Medicine and Associate Director, Clinical Affairs, Montefiore Einstein Cancer Center. “By partnering together, we are also elevating the science behind protons and ushering in a new era of care that leads to better outcomes and better quality of life for people who previously had few options.”
“The New York Proton Center has quickly distinguished itself as the preeminent proton therapy provider and we are proud to be a partner institution,” said Simon Powell, MD, PhD, Chair of Radiation Oncology at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center. “With the treatment of its 3,000th patient in just three-and-a-half years since its opening, NYPC has proven the success of the consortium-model of providing care many times over. Congratulations to NYPC’s staff for their unwavering commitment to providing the best care in the industry.”

title: Consider cost features vendor experience before investing in a product analytics service for restaurants

text:
If you are a restaurateur or a data provider looking for deeper insights into foodservice market trends across countries, regions, and sectors, the right product analytics service can be indispensable. By taking advantage of the latest data science, artificial intelligence, and big data analytics, product analytics can provide powerful insights into customer preference, competitor activity, and market forces, allowing you to keep ahead of the pack in the food service industry.
However, navigating the vast array of product analytics services available can be overwhelming. With this guide, you’ll understand the key things to keep in mind when selecting the best product analytics service for your needs.
One of the first things to consider when selecting a product analytics service for restaurants is the scope of data provided. Does the service cover just the US market, or do they provide global coverage? Does the service include detailed menu data for restaurants, as well as information on restaurant tech, such as point-of-sale systems? It’s important to select a service that can provide the data you need to further understand the foodservice market.
Another crucial factor in selecting a product analytics service is the breadth and depth of insights they provide. Are they able to provide detailed insights into customer preferences and competitor activity? Are they able to provide reliable information to guide your sales team or inform your marketing decisions? A good product analytics service will have up-to-date data on customer trends and competitors to ensure you have a holistic understanding of the foodservice market.
Third, you’ll want to consider the quality of the data. Is it accurate and reliable? Is it regularly updated to keep up with changing market trends? Quality data is essential to making sound business decisions, so it’s important that the service you select can provide reliable and timely information.
Fourth, pay attention to the pricing structure of the potential service. Do they offer subscription packages? Is the pricing based on the amount of data you use? Are there any hidden costs? Make sure to compare different services and select the one that works best for your budget.
Fifth, ensure your service provider has solid customer service, such as telephone hotlines, live chat, and email support. If there’s an issue with the product, you want to make sure you can get help quickly and easily.
The sixth factor to consider is the user experience of the product analytics service. Is it easy to use, or is it clunky and overly complicated? Is it simple to set up and get started right away? Find out how intuitive the product is before signing up.
Seventh, look for additional features that set the service apart from its competitors. Does it enable you to save time and money by integrating with your internal systems? Does it come with automated reporting or workflow solutions to help streamline your processes?
The eighth factor to consider is whether the provider offers custom solutions to help you reach your specific goals. Are they able to work with you to create a tailored plan that meets your needs? Having a provider that is willing to customize their services to fit your specific needs can be invaluable.
Lastly, make sure the technology provider behind the service is reputable and reliable. Do they have experience in the food service industry? Can they provide references from customers who have used their services in the past? Finding out this information beforehand can save you time, money, and hassle in the long run.
By taking the time to consider the above factors, you’ll be sure to select the best product analytics service for your restaurant needs. With the right service in place, you can stay ahead of the competition and make data-driven decisions that will drive your business forward.


title: History

text:
The history of the NSFS is not long, compared with the British and American societies, but here is a short account for the interested reader.
The Nordic Stage Fight Society is currently made up of the National stage combat organisations from Estonia, Denmark, Finland, Norway and Sweden, and personal members from around the globe. The members of these organisations, both the students and the teachers, work together every year in creating workshops and training opportunities, thus spreading awareness, raising the quality of stage combat in the Nordic region and sharing together the history of the NSFS.
The first larger gathering of stage-combat people in Nordic countries was a workshop in Linköping, Sweden 1992.
Three years later, in 1995, the Nordic Stage Fight Society was officially founded to become a society for stage combat professionals in Nordic Countries with private members from Denmark, Sweden and Norway. The first board of the society consisted of Peppe Östensson, Inga-Live Kippersund and Tina Robinson.
The aim for the new-founded society was to promote safety and quality first, while also raising the artistic level of stage combat in the Nordic Region.
Thus, it all began.
Not long after the official founding of the NSFS, the society experienced a rapid growth. In 1997, the first four certified NSFS teachers graduate from the summer course, and in 1998 a summer training program started in Estonia, leading to Estonia becoming a member country in 2000. By this inclusion, the NSFS was no longer a society for just the Nordic countries, but for the Baltics as well.
In 2007, to meet the demands from all the different countries, the NSFS restructured to be an umbrella organisation, with all the different national organisations, but also personal members to fit those countries without a national society, gathered under its name. The board of each of these organisations would serve members in their own countries, thus creating a more active society with regular workshop activities in all corners of the Nordic and Baltic region.
Not only did the demands grow for the members in the society, but for the teachers as well. In 2008, a new teacher/mentor program was developed to meet these demands, followed by the first students graduating through this in 2012. This process started a new generation of teachers, with more focus on teacher education and expertise.
In 2010 Finland applied for membership in the NSFS, leading to another expansion.
