title: Add google custom search wordpress

text:
If you run large WordPress website, then you could consider changing the default WordPress search engine to something more robust like one by Google – if that is the case, then you need to know how to add Google custom search to WordPress.
The default WordPress search functionality is okay for a small website, but, if your blog has thousands or even several hundreds of varied content, then you will need to leverage on the power of Google search engine.
Why You Need to Add Google Custom Search?
First, it improves the performance of your website by moving the load of search queries to Google.
Second, Google delivers better and relevant search results that the custom WordPress search engine. Users can search for both text and images. Additionally, if you have multiple websites, you can configure it to query these other websites.
If that is something worth considering, then, here is how to add Google custom search to a WordPress website.
Step 1: Create a Google Custom Search Engine
- Go to https://cse.google.com/cse/ the Google Custom Site website and create a Custom Search Engine.
- Enter your domain name, select the language of your site, give your search engine a name, and click the Create
- You are taken to a congratulatory page, where you should click Control Panel.
From the control panel you can modify the custom search engine to your preferences; you can explore these later once the custom search engine is running.
For now, all you need is the Search Engine ID. Copy it; we shall use it in step two.
Once you have the Google Search Engine ID, you can configure your website.
Step 2: Install and configure WP Google Search
- Log in to your WordPress admin panel to install and activate WP Google Search plugin.
Go to Plugins then click Add New.
Enter WP Google Search in the search box. When the results populate, scroll down till you see WP Google Search.
Click the Install Now button to install it. Then, Activate it.
- Configure WP Google Search
To configure the custom search, go to Settings, then to WP Google Search
Copy the Google Search Engine ID from step one and paste it to the provided field.
There are a couple of other settings you can opt for within the same page, but, once you are done, Click Save Changes.
Once you save the changes, you can access the default custom search page on the path https://yoursite.com/search_gcse/
The next step will show you how to add or display the search form on any sidebar on your website.
- Display the Google Custom Search form on the website
To display the custom search engine on your website, head to Appearance and click Widgets
Look for WP Google Search (WGS), select the sidebar you want to display the custom search widget and click Add Widget.
If all went without a hiccup, then you have been able to add Google custom search to WordPress successfully.
Now, go to your website and verify that everything is working well.
Of course, you will need to remove the other search forms on your website, like I have to on mine.
Using a plugin is the easiest way you can add Google custom search to a WordPress website.
It is as simple as:
- Creating a Google Custom Search Engine to get the Search Engine ID.
- Installing, activating, and configuring a plugin like WP Google Search
That is something any website owner – of any and every skill level – can do, without touching a single line of code. Unless, if they want to add the Google Custom Search Engine manually. If you go this route though, do not forget to backup your website before tampering with the files.
Whichever way you go about it, the benefits a large website can get by using Google for its search functionality are worth every effort.
Please share with us your views and feedback in the comments section below.
Hopefully you have found this read helpful. You may also want to add your WordPress website to Google Search Console.

Shaboozey responds to viral side-eye at 2025 AMAs with a word on country music’s real roots
After going viral at the AMAs, Shaboozey reminds fans that “the true history of country music” is “so powerful that it cannot be erased.”
When Shaboozey offered Megan Moroney a well-timed side-eye on the AMAs stage, the internet clocked it in real time. And as far as side-eyes go, this one came with history.
During the 2025 American Music Awards on May 26, the “A Bar Song (Tipsy)” artist and rising country star Megan Moroney stepped onto the Fontainebleau Las Vegas stage to announce the Favorite Country Duo or Group winner. What seemed like a routine presenter moment quickly turned into a viral flashpoint.
“Country music has been an important part of AMA history,” Shaboozey, 30, began. “The very first year of this show, the award for Favorite Male Country Artist went to the great Charley Pride.”
A needed namecheck. Pride, who passed away in 2020, was a trailblazer and one of the few Black artists to break through the genre’s historically white walls.
Then Moroney picked up her line: “That same year, Favorite Female Artist went to Lynn Anderson. And this award went to the Carter family, who basically invented country music.”
Cue the glance. Shaboozey’s quiet chuckle and knowing look said what history books often don’t.
The next day, the Nigerian-American artist set the record straight on his shady reaction. First, he took to Instagram to defend the hateful comments he had seen directed at Moroney.
“Just want to clear something up: my reaction at the AMAs had nothing to do with Megan Moroney,” he commented under Moroney’s Instagram post. ““I’ve seen some hateful comments directed at her today, and that’s not what this moment was about. Let’s not twist the message — she is amazing and someone who represented the country community in the highest light.”
He then moved to X where he wrote: “When you uncover the true history of country music, you find a story so powerful that it cannot be erased…”
“The real history of country music is about people coming together despite their differences, and embracing and celebrating the things that make us alike,” he added in a separate tweet.
While the Carter Family, a trio made up of A.P. Carter, Sara Dougherty Carter, and Maybelle Addington Carter, is widely celebrated as country royalty, their legacy can’t be separated from Lesley Riddle, a Black guitarist who helped A.P. Carter collect songs in the early 1900s. According to the Country Music Hall of Fame, the Carter Family helped popularize country harmonies and standards, but it’s voices like Riddle’s that helped shape the very foundation of their sound.
Time magazine has noted that country music owes a profound debt to African and African-American traditions. However, that fact has often been pushed aside thanks to decades of whitewashed marketing and the gatekeeping of Nashville’s commercial country industry.
Shaboozey’s AMA moment joins a growing wave of Black country artists and cultural critics rewriting the narrative and reclaiming space.
From Hank Williams’ mentorship under Rufus “Tee Tot” Payne to DeFord Bailey’s groundbreaking Grand Ole Opry debut, Black creativity not only contributed but also helped create the genre. Most recently, Beyoncé dedicated her 2025 Grammy nominations and wins for her album “Cowboy Carter” (a title some fans think also nods at the genre’s shady history) to Linda Martell, the first Black woman to release a country album.
“I want to dedicate this to Miss Martell, and I hope we just keep pushing forward, opening doors. God bless you all. Thank you so much,” Beyoncé said during her acceptance speech.
With artists like Shaboozey, Beyoncé, Tanner Ardell, and more holding the mic and using it with intention, the genre’s future might finally start to reflect its full past.

title: Complaint allegation notifications

text:
You worked hard to earn your knowledge, skills, and credentials that allowed you to seek licensure in your profession. You know that even a single complaint against your license can irrevocably hard your career, livelihood, and reputation. The unfortunate truth is that no matter how diligent you are, it is always possible for allegations of misconduct to be filed against you with your licensing board.
As soon as you are notified of complaint allegations made against you is the time to consult with a professional license defense attorney with experience handling complaints before your particular licensing board.
Will I Be Notified of Complaint Allegations Made Against Me?
Yes, you will always be notified of complaint allegations lodged against you with your licensing board. However, often licensing boards do not immediately notify a licensee when it receives a complaint.
Although you may not receive a notification right away, you will be given an opportunity to respond to the allegations. You have the right to defend yourself throughout every step of the enforcement process. Further, you have the right to an attorney to protect your rights and help you mount the strongest possible defense against the allegations.
Each licensing board or regulatory agency in Texas has its own enforcement procedures. Moreover, each licensing board has its own procedures dictating how investigations are conducted and complaints resolved.
Typically the licensing board if afforded a certain amount of time to conduct a preliminary investigation after it receives a complaint. At this stage, the board will review the complaint to determine if it has jurisdiction if it involves an individual it licenses and if the allegation if proven, would constitute a violation of Texas law or board rule. During this initial phase, the licensee will not know that a complaint has been lodged against their professional license.
After the licensing board completes its initial review of the complaint it will notify the licensee. When a licensee is notified of a complaint, that means the board decided it has enough information to open a formal investigation into the complaint allegations. At any point you are notified of a complaint filed against you with your licensing board, know that you must take the complaint seriously and that the stakes are high.
Responding to Complaint Allegations
When a Texas license board sends a complaint notification, it also asks for the licensee’s response to the allegations or otherwise informs the licensee of his or her options to attend an informal settlement conference or request a formal hearing. Again, each Texas licensing board has its own enforcement procedures to which it must adhere.
Many boards afford you the opportunity to first respond in writing. Do not squander this opportunity to defend yourself. Crafting a strong initial response to the allegations can affect whether the case is dismissed outright, your ability to negotiate a favorable outcome at an informal settlement, and the ultimate outcome of the case against you.
As soon as you receive a complaint notice, we urge you to consult with a professional license defense attorney who has experience with cases before your licensing board.
Defending Your Texas Professional, Medical, or Vocational License
BERTOLINO LLP has been defending Texas licensed professionals for years, and we use a creative, results-driven approach to help you get the best possible outcome in your case. Our results speak for themselves.
If you are facing allegations of professional misconduct or disciplinary action from Texas licensing Board or regulatory agency, contact us today or call (512) 476-5757 and schedule a case evaluation.

ADHD, Anxiety, Acne and Learning Disabilities – Gone!
In May of 2016, I sought out assistance for my ADHD, Anxiety, Learning Disabilities, and Insomnia. I had been on and off medications for ADHD and Anxiety, but neither felt like they provided any assistance to my daily life. In fact, medicine often made my symptoms worse.
As a junior in high school at the time and an avid dancer, my life was unimaginably busy. Being the new kid in school did not make it any easier. Struggling with more than I knew at the time, I was skeptical of the treatment at Root Cause Medical Clinic. Nothing had worked before, so why would this? I decided to go in with an open mind and discovered I was dealing with far more than my labeled disabilities which were just surface symptoms.
I had adrenal fatigue and gluten sensitivity. Surprisingly, these two factors had been creating increased amounts of stress internally in ways I could not have imagined.
I now am completely cured of my adrenal fatigue, and do not consume gluten.
My ADHD and Anxiety symptoms decreased, my most crippling learning disabilities vanished, as well as my insomnia.
As for dance, I had many joint problems. These inconveniences hindered my athletic abilities and forced me to reduce my training hours. After years of physical therapy, I had improved moderately but still danced in pain. Without gluten, in my diet, my dance abilities soared to new heights. I have increased my hours of training tremendously and do not suffer the consequences of pain. I am physically stronger. I now plan to pursue my dream, and the love of dance in a college setting as a double major alongside English.
Without consuming gluten, my physical appearance has changed. I was never looking to lose weight but ultimately lost around 15 pounds. My acne cleared up, and now I rarely ever break out.
As a woman, my periods were always excruciatingly painful, and many times required medication to alleviate the pain. Without gluten and the help of my healthy lifestyle, periods are no longer painful, I simply never even feel them. The “normal” period symptoms are nonexistent to me.
Overall my life has changed in many aspects due to the help I received. As a senior in high school who works avidly in the rigorous academic environment of a community college, I can only see positives in my future.
Thank you Root Cause Medical Clinic!
– Abby B. (Age 18)

LAYLA KAYLIF - God's Keeper
"Layla Kaylif’s God’s Keeper is a poetic, cinematic single about divinity, delusion, and surrender, a bold return from the ‘Pop Poet’ behind 90s cult hit Shakespeare in Love"
5/23/20251 min read
On Rotation: LAYLA KAYLIF - GOD’S KEEPER
Layla Kaylif, a rising London-based singer-songwriter known for her unique “pop poet” sound, has shared her latest release “God’s Keeper.” The poetic track focused on themes of spiritual confusion and surrender. While the sound might be rooted in pop, the Kaylif also drew from soul and Middle Eastern influences as well as cinematic orchestration.
Lyrically, “God’s Keeper” showcases Kaylif’s skills as a songwriter and storyteller. One of the song’s most powerful lines includes, “Angels in black veils, devils in white capes... can’t tell the truth from the fads.” This lyric uses imagery to highlight the confusion of seeking clarity in a world full of contradiction, especially when it comes to love and power. Lyrics like these make Kayliff’s signature writing style one that invites reflection and is bound to being up deeper feelings for the listener.
Production-wise, the track is a mix of early-2000s Scandinavian pop with subtle Middle Eastern beats. Overall, the arrangement can be described as moody and atmospheric. Despite the unique backing, there is the perfect amount of space for Kaylif’s soft and emotional vocals to stand out. Fans of Bat for Lashes, Florence Welch, or cinematic indie-pop are bound to find this track an easy add to any playlist.
With “God’s Keeper,” Kaylif showcases why she rightfully earned the title of “Pop Poet.” It’s a song that uses lyrics to ask big questions, but also makes it an easy listen with the perfect cocktail of melody, mood, and meaning. As she continues to put out music, “God’s Keeper” is surely a keeper for us.


title: Ondo court jails herder 10 years for violating anti grazing law destroying n50m farmland

text:
A magistrates’ court sitting in Akure, Ondo state, has sentenced Dan Bello, a herder, to 10 years imprisonment for violating the state’s anti-open grazing law and and causing N50 million worth of damage to farmland.
Bello was found guilty on all five counts filed against him, including conspiracy, unlawful grazing, malicious damage, breach of peace, and illegal entry.
According to the prosecution, the incident occurred on October 27, 2023, when Bello grazed his cattle on a farm owned by the National Palm Produce Association of Nigeria (NPPAN), located along the Ago Panu–Ute Road in Owo LGA.
The cattle reportedly destroyed young palm trees and watermelon crops planted across two hectares of land.
P.O. Nwafor, the prosecuting counsel, told the court that Bello did not obtain a permit for grazing and encroached on land not designated for livestock under the Ondo State Livestock Rearing and Grazing Regulation Law, 2021.
The prosecution further alleged that the situation escalated when one of the herders, who fled during the initial incident, returned the following day with six others and set fire to the farm, destroying a motorcycle in the process.
A farm guard, who testified during the trial, said he apprehended Bello while the second herder escaped.
Delivering judgment, Damilola Sekoni, the presiding magistrate, held that the prosecution had presented credible and convincing evidence against the defendant.
Bello was sentenced to four years in prison on the first count without an option of fine, two years on the second count with an option of N50,000 fine, and one year each on the third and fourth counts.
On the fifth count, he was handed two years imprisonment without an option of fine. The sentences are to run concurrently.
However, the court said Bello could be discharged if he pays N2 million in compensation to the complainant.

Communications regulator Icasa will finally invite mobile operators to apply to bid for spectrum for 4G and next-generation 5G networks from 2 October, with the country’s first-ever auctions expected to take place by the end of March 2021.
Allocation of frequency bands for wireless communication is seen as key to expanding broadband services, especially 5G in South Africa, where the high cost of telecommunications is a barrier to doing business.
“The authority will make available 406MHz of spectrum for the provision of mobile broadband services in South Africa,” Icasa chairman Keabetswe Modimoeng told journalists.
Data costs have come down after mobile operators were forced to cut prices, but they argue that prices can’t drop significantly until regulators auction the much needed spectrum.
There are five main mobile operators in South Africa — MTN, Vodacom, partially state-owned operator Telkom, unlisted Cell C, and Rain.
The operators will be able to bid for spectrum in the 700MHz, 800MHz, 2.6GHz and 3.5GHz bands. A plan to sell spectrum in the 2.3GHz band has been abandoned for now. Reserve prices for lots in the 3.5GHz band, key for 5G, range from R9.8-million to R75.6-million rand, Modimoeng said.
The closing date for interested bidders to register is 28 December, while the closing date for the government’s wireless open-access network (Woan) invitation is 30 March 2021.
The Woan, which will be owned by private-sector players, is the government’s way of creating a shared model for spectrum allocation rather than auctioning the resource to the highest bidder. Successful licensees of high-demand spectrum will be obliged to procure a minimum of 30% national capacity from the Woan “collectively as soon as the Woan is operational for a period of seven years”, Modimoeng said.
Icasa had been at odds with the government over the allocation of these licences. The government went to court in 2016, blocking the auction after Icasa unexpectedly announced the sale in July 2016. — Reported by Nqobile Dludla, (c) 2020 Reuters


title: Setting national instrument card

text:
Our results suggest that operant training facilitates song imitation in zebra finches compared to yoked trained birds. We are still working on improving the training regimen, and users should consult our website for the most current updates. In particular, we found that replacing the keys by strings, and adding mirrors in specific locations might facilitate vocal learning. At this time, we are using a key-pecking system as our standard training method as documented below. Digital I/O card: if you want to set an operant training you will need a National Instruments PCI-6503 I/O card. This is the least expensive NI card, and it is great. You will have to install the NIDAQ-traditional driver of this card. By the NB1 Ribbon Cable (1m), (2m) & CB-50LP - Unshielded part number (180524-20) and the Block Screw Terminals 777101-01
Install the card (follow instructions!), connect the cable to the screw terminal and then connect the screw terminal to the keys:
Low cost alternative: A $100 USB card called NI USB-6501 seems to work too without any additional software or hardware (no cable or screw terminal needed, just connect the keys directly to the card), but we did not test it extensively yet. Since it is USB you can try it with laptops.
Keys: Cherry 1g lever key can be any key, you may use any lever key, we had good experience with the Chery 1g lever keys. Use a standard low voltage electrical cable to connect them. Connect to the NO (normally open) connectors. You may join all the grounds together, as long as all of them are connected to the same NI card. We attach a small round disk to the end of the lever, and fix the lever on the wall of the cage, next to a perch, so that the bird can peck on the disk with its beak (some birds I saw also jump at it). Here are pics of the lever in a cage. We mount them with binder clips that we connect to the cage bars with cable ties.
_ Screw terminal configuration: The screw terminal has even numerals (2-50) at the back row (closer to the ribbon cable connection). Those are all grounds. The distant row with the even numerals has the actual channels. The channels are divided into three ports (port 0, 1, 2) and each port has eight lines (lines 0-7). Number 47 in the screw terminal corresponds to port 0 line 0. the next screw to the right, number 45, corresponds to port 0 line 1, and so on all the way to number 1, which corresponds to port 2 line 7. First, connect each terminal screw to the to the appropriate device. For example, port 0 line 0 to key 1 of training box 1, port 0 line 1 to key 2 of training box 1, port 0 line 2 to key 1 of training box 2, and so forth. , line 2 to key 2, etc. Input wires such as lever keys should be connected via a long lamp-cable (polarity does not matter in this case). Now you need to connect each device to the ground. All the even channels are common ground – connect whichever way you like. No resistor is necessary using this configuration.
Now you should test your system (before connecting the other keys). Turn you computer on and start the NIDAQ instrumentation panel. Double-click on the devices icon and you should see the PCI icon. Right click on it and choose ‘test panel’. You should see a panel with buttons. Set the top row as input port 0 and the bottom row as input port 1. If the buttons of port 0 are not red, click ‘generate output’. Make sure that the port is set to 0 and input, and then, while looking at the panel, click on the key. You should see that the first gray button has turned gray – you just activated line 0. Every time the bird pecks on a key, when a motion detector is activated and so forth, SAP2011 will capture the event via one of these lines and will respond appropriately. From here an on you continue with every other wire: connecting wire 6 to a key, and then back to the common should activate line 1, connecting wire 8 will activate line 2, and so forth. Keep track of your connections; you will have to remember them when setting up the input/output configuration of the SAP2011 recorder. Installation of National Instruments analog card to work with SAP2011: SAP2011 allows recording via most NI analog data cards. You will have to set up a data neighborhood for each channel and then use them to record with the recorder just as you do with sound cards. This is particularly useful for recording combined sound and electrophysiology data.


title: Atletico clash will be missed by robinho

text:
The star player of AC Milan- Robinho will unfortunately miss the UEFA Champions League match against Atletico Madrid which is going to take place next week because he has sustained a thigh injury.
Robinho suffered through a thigh knock during a Serie A match between AC Milan and Napoli on the 8th of February, 2014 at San Paolo. After Robinho got injured, Kaka replaced him during the 2nd half of the football match. However, AC Milan embarrassingly lost the match against Napoli.
Clarence Seedorf (coach of AC Milan) might have to work without Robinho’s services this time in the match between Bologna and AC Milan which is going to be held on the 14th of February, 2014. Along with that, there is a high possibility that Robinho will miss the much awaited clash between Atletico Madrid and AC Milan at the Champions League on 19th of February, 2014.
Atletico Madrid is also facing problems because Tiago Mendes (Atletico’s midfielder) is also suffering from two injuries: sprained right knee ligament and fractured wrist. Just like Robinho, Tiago will also be missing a few matches due to an operation.
AC Milan announced officially on their website that Robinho is suffering from an injury in his left thigh muscles and he will undergo several examinations in order to determine the extent and seriousness of the injury.
If the thigh injury turns out to be severe, then Robinho will also miss the Serie A match against Sampdoria on the 23rd of February, 2014 and the match against Juventus on the 3rd of March, 2014.
The Brazilian footballer has made around eighteen appearences for AC Milan this season and has provided 5 assists. AC Milan is at the 11th position in the overall standing of Serie A 2014. The team is way behind Inter Milan who has been the city rival of AC Milan.

title: Alumni returns to speak to applied science students

text:
This week saw The Institute of Professional Studies welcome alumni, Przemyslaw Jerzy Stepien, back to Hull College to give a 90-minute presentation to our current group of Applied Science students.
Przemyslaw spent three years studying at the college between 2015 and 2018, gaining Level 2 and Level 3 qualifications in Applied Science before completing a Bachelor's degree (Hons) in Pharmaceutical Science at the University of Lincoln in 2021.
He started his career as a Research and Development Operations Assistant at Reckitt in Hull late last year and is already moving up in the world of science with an exciting new role at another company on the horizon.
Our students were inspired to hear about Przemyslaw's journey to-date, who provided them with lots of advice and information from his experiences in education and employment throughout the informative presentation.
Reflecting on his return to the college, Przemyslaw said: "It was so exciting and surreal to be back, and it was fantastic to have the opportunity to speak to the students.
"I was happy to come back and see Viktoria (Tsakyri) and Jenny (Smith) and thank them in person for their support - without them I wouldn’t be where I am now. Also, I had the chance to speak to the next generation of potential scientists, which was an amazing experience for me.
"They were a fantastic group. I didn't think they would talk too much, but they were all very engaged, had lots of questions and were interactive throughout, which was great to see. Hopefully, they found my presentation interesting, informative and worthwhile."

UN observer shocked at state of SA housing
UNITED Nations special rapporteur for adequate housing Miloon Kothari has criticised SA’s housing policy, saying there appeared to be an increasing gap between delivery of housing and legislation — which could affect development.
Kothari, who is halfway through a two-week visit to examine and report to the UN on the state of land and housing rights in SA, said yesterday that preliminary impressions after visiting Northern Cape, Limpopo and Gauteng were that policy at national level, such as the social inclusion policy, was not filtering down to local government, and so increasing segregation.
Speaking after talks with 11 nongovernmental housing organisations in Johannesburg, he said: “Some of what I have seen was worse than I expected.”
Kothari was shocked at some of the living conditions of Johannesburg’s inner-city poor, which he saw during a visit on Tuesday, particularly those living in buildings where water had been cut off.
“I do not accept the argument that these buildings used to be privately owned so the municipality can wash its hands of ultimate responsibility for residents. A visit to properties owned by the Johannesburg Social Housing Company suggests there are problems with implementation. Joshco and Johannesburg Water are public companies. Who is monitoring these companies and projects to ensure delivery? It should be the municipality,” said Kothari.
He said nongovernmental organisations in developing countries, such as India, where he is from, were jealous of the progressive standards in SA, and the fact that the right to housing was enshrined in the constitution and in judgments of the Constitutional Court.
“This is sufficient ground for policy that ensures the rights of the most vulnerable are protected.”
Segregation between the rich and the poor was increasing, he said.
“The implementation gap as a preliminary observation seems to be growing instead of narrowing and that is where I will be looking and trying to find ways to reverse that trend.”
Kothari said cities such as Johannesburg were finding themselves caught between trying to encourage growth and development in order to compete globally, and the protection of human rights.
Presentations were made by a number of organisations including the Centre for Applied Legal Studies: Water Rights division, the Landless People’s Organisation, the Inner City Resources Centre and Social Surveys Africa.
Representatives from people who have been evicted or are facing eviction also made presentations.
Some of the issues raised were the lack of consultation by the government when it came to moving people living in informal settlements to new areas and consideration of the needs of the community concerned.
Jean du Plessis of the international Centre on Housing Rights and Evictions said that “using eviction as a tool of development (which was a global trend with China leading the way) did not promote development among the poor”.
Kothari met Land Bank and government officials in Pretoria yesterday and is to visit Durban and then Cape Town before presenting a preliminary report on Tuesday.


title: Genetic cause of vibration allergy identified

text:
A genetic variation that results in an inherited urticaria-inducing reaction to vibration has been found by researchers from the U.S. National Institutes of Health (NIH), providing new insight into a rare condition, according to a paper published online in The New England Journal of Medicine (Feb. 3, 2016).
The authors found that patients with a previously unidentified missense substitution in the adhesion G protein-coupled receptor E2 (ADGRE2) gene (also known as EMR2) experience an exaggerated version of a normal cellular response to vibration. According to a NIH press release, individuals with the condition can experience temporary skin rashes caused by running, hand clapping, towel drying or even from a rough motor vehicle ride.
The ADGRE2 protein has two sub-units which are generally found on the outside and inside of the walls of immune cells, including mast cells. The study’s authors speculate that in patients who experience vibration-induced urticaria, the two subunits are more weakly connected. Vibration then causes these two subunits to become separated, leading to the internal subunit to signal the cell to start degranulation.
As part of the process of degranulation, mast cells release histamine and other inflammatory chemicals into the bloodstream and surrounding tissue in response to certain stimuli, according to the release, and when researchers measured blood levels of histamine during an episode of vibration-induced urticaria, they found the patient’s histamine levels rose rapidly after the vibration and then subsided after about an hour. As well, an increase in another mast cell degranulation marker, tryptase, was also seen in the skin around the hives.
“Investigating rare disorders such as vibratory urticaria can yield important insights into how the immune system functions and how it reacts to certain triggers to produce allergy symptoms, which can range from mild to debilitating,” Dr. Anthony S. Fauci, director of the U.S. National Institutes of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), said in the realease.. “The findings from this study uncover intriguing new facets of mast cell biology, adding to our knowledge of how allergic responses occur.”
According to the release, individuals who experience vibratory urticaria sometimes also have other symptoms, including flushing, headaches, fatigue, blurry vision or a metallic taste in the mouth. These symptoms usually last an hour or less but can show up several times a day.

Taming ReorderBufferWrite - Boost Logical Decoding in Postgres
Performance bottlenecks in Postgres logical replication or Change Data Capture (CDC) stream can be subtle, but one specific wait event, ReorderBufferWrite, often points directly at how your application interacts with the database during these processes. Let's unpack this wait-event and see how your application's workload patterns can trigger it.
Core Concepts: Logical Decoding and WAL
To understand the problem, we first need some context:
Write-Ahead Log (WAL) is PostgreSQL's transaction log and every change is written here first (to ensure durability and enable recovery/replication)
Logical Decoding is a powerful feature that reads this WAL. Instead of just replaying physical changes (like physical replication), it translates the WAL records into a logical, easy-to-understand stream of changes, carefully taking care of rows and transactions, which is then consumed by logical replication subscribers or CDC systems.
The Reorder Buffer: Ensuring Transactional Order
Logical decoding needs to present changes in the exact order transactions were committed. However, changes from different concurrent transactions are interleaved within the WAL. To solve this, PostgreSQL uses an in-memory area called the Reorder Buffer. Its job is to collect decoded changes belonging to transactions that are still in progress. Only when a transaction commits are its changes released from the buffer in the correct sequence.
Analogy: The Assembly Line QC Station
For an analogy, imagine an assembly line where components (WAL entries) arrive continuously where workers assemble different products (transactions). Some products are quick builds, others complex multi-step assemblies. Completed products move to a Quality Control (QC) holding station (Reorder Buffer). The QC inspector (logical decoding process) ships out batches of products, but only when all products belonging to a specific batch (committed transaction) have passed inspection. The batches must be shipped in the strict order they were completed.
The Bottleneck: ReorderBufferWrite
The Reorder Buffer uses memory allocated by the logical_decoding_work_mem setting (often defaulting to 64MB). What happens if this QC holding station (Reorder Buffer) gets completely filled up with products waiting for their batch-mates (changes from active transactions), especially for those complex, slow builds (long-running transactions)?
The system can't just discard these waiting items and the best it can do is to move them temporarily to an overflow warehouse (spilling to disk). This action – writing the buffer's contents to slower disk storage – is precisely the ReorderBufferWrite wait event.
Waiting for disk I/O is significantly slower than operating in memory. Frequent ReorderBufferWrite events directly translate to increased replication lag and reduced throughput for the logical change stream. Retrieving items from the overflow warehouse (disk) drastically slows down the QC inspector's (logical decoding) shipping rate.
Workloads That Cause Spills to Disk
ReorderBufferWrite waits are primarily triggered by workload patterns that overwhelm the in-memory Reorder Buffer. Key culprits include:
Very Large Transactions: A single transaction modifying hundreds of thousands or millions of rows generates a massive volume of changes that must sit in the Reorder Buffer until the final commit. This can rapidly exhaust the available memory. Think of assembling a huge, complex product requiring many components – it occupies a lot of space at the QC station while being built.
Long-Running Transactions: A transaction might not change that much data, but if it stays open for a long time (perhaps due to complex calculations, waiting for external input, or slow queries within it), its changes linger in the Reorder Buffer. Meanwhile, other transactions complete, adding their changes. The buffer fills up with changes from many transactions, bottlenecked by the one(s) taking a long time to commit. This is like one single (inactive / idling) product assembly holding up the shipment of multiple completed batches at the QC station.
High Volume of Concurrent Changes: Even with reasonably sized and timed transactions, a very high rate of change across many concurrent sessions can collectively generate data faster than the logical decoding process can handle within the allocated Reorder Buffer memory, leading to spills. Imagine hundreds of small, quick products arriving at the QC station so fast it still gets overwhelmed.
Sudden workload spike: A related reasoning is when there is a sudden surge of application workload (writes) and they cause a rate of change higher than the logical decoding process can generally handle. In terms of workload pattern, to an experienced DBA, this may appear as:
connection spike => followed by replica-lag => and thereafter a slow recovery of that replica lag.
Insufficient logical_decoding_work_mem: If this setting is too low for your workload's typical peak demands, spills will occur more readily, even for moderately busy workloads.
What need be done?
As an application developer, you have significant control over the transaction patterns if ReorderBufferWrite waits are causing issues:
Audit & Split Large Transactions: Review bulk DML operations performed within a single transaction and refactor these into smaller batches. For e.g. Instead of one transaction for say 100k rows, use 10 transactions of 10k rows each. This drastically reduces the peak Reorder Buffer usage.
Minimize Transaction Duration: Identify code paths where transactions are held open unnecessarily long. This could be from end-user applications waiting for user-input, or doing non-database work, or calling slow external services inside a database transaction that modifies replicated tables. Try to keep database transactions short and focused. Perform reads, calculations, or external calls before starting the write transaction, or after it commits.
Optimize Queries Within Transactions: Slow SELECT, INSERT, UPDATE, or DELETE queries will naturally extend transaction duration. Use query analysis tools (EXPLAIN ANALYZE) to find and optimize slow queries involved in your transactions.
Isolate Read-Only Work: If long-running processes only read data, ensure they aren't unnecessarily starting read-write transactions on the primary where logical decoding is happening. Similarly use read-only transactions or more permissive isolation levels where possible.
Collaborate on Configuration: If application-side optimizations aren't sufficient, discuss the observed workload with your DBA or platform team. It would help to provide them with information about your transaction patterns. This could help them review whether an increase in logical_decoding_work_mem is warranted and safe within the server's overall resource constraints. Tuning memory should usually follow workload optimization.
ReorderBufferWrite isn't just an obscure PostgreSQL internal wait-event. It's a performance indicator directly linked to application workload patterns during logical decoding. By designing your application to use shorter, smaller, and more efficient transactions, especially on tables involved in replication, you can minimize these disk spill events and ensure a performant database.

Well, as mentioned in my previous post, I had cataract surgery on my right eye on September 30. The procedure itself was painless, although I liken the level of comfort during the operation to the experience of having your teeth cleaned by a dental hygienist - i.e. slightly discomforting.
The result is absolutely astounding, though, and well worth a bit of uneasiness. My right eye can now discern fine detail I haven't seen in decades. Since I'm into astronomy, that result is exactly what I had hoped for.
At the moment, I have to take some care - no heavy lifting, and an interwoven schedule of taking medication in the form of eyedrops - but I'm looking at the world with a new eye (pun intended). Until now, I hadn't realized how much I was really losing, when looking around, and am now aware that my left eye, which was the better eye lately (using glasses) would also benefit from this kind of operation.
So, at the moment, I'm using eyeglasses in which the left part of the frame retains the bifocal lens formulated for my left eye; I have removed the right-eye lens altogether. The result, for distance viewing, is a reasonably close balance between my two eyes, with the right eye outperforming the left one by a noticable margin. It also makes it possible for me to read the newspaper and books (and typing this story on the computer) because, at my age, reading glasses are usually necessary. My reading is done with my left eye, through the "reading section" of the lens. This is no problem for me, because my right eye had deteriorated to the point at which I could not use it for reading anyway.
If and when I finally get my left eye "restored" in the fashion described above, I won't need glasses for distance view (that includes naked-eye astronomy, and watching TV, for instance). For reading, I can purchase some of those inexpensive, off-the-shelf reading glasses available anywhere. I'll then use both eyes for reading and close-up viewing.
In short, from my experience, if you are contemplating cataract surgery, go for it.

At KindHealth, an Entrepreneurial Team Blends Health Insurance and AI Experience to Solve Coverage Crisis
When Albert Pomales and Andrew Tomasik teamed up with co-founders Mark Adams and John Constantine to start KindHealth, a company that would untangle the health insurance issue, they brought to the table 18 years in technology development, 20 years in health insurance, and a deep conviction that getting and managing health coverage is needlessly complex.
Together with their team, they have developed a platform that leverages their expertise to build an AI-driven platform that makes it simple for people to assess their healthcare needs, find the best plan, and enrol and manage their coverage. They see it as essential in today’s market.
“People’s expectations are on the rise, and so are the myriad complications related to health insurance,” said Pomales, the health insurance veteran. “At the heart of our AI-based platform is simplicity. That is our ultimate guidepost.”
In using AI to solve the insurance problem, Pomales and Tomasik determined that this technology could drive health insurance solutions by using AI to better understand customers’ needs and provide recommendations for the best insurance plan to fit those needs and budgets.
Tomasik notes that AI often is seen as having three branches: process automation, the performance of repetitive tasks quickly; cognitive insight, the creation of specific strategies for individuals based on data analysis; and cognitive engagement, which takes cognitive insight further to create strategies to interact with individuals. KindHealth’s AI employs each branch.
Pomales’ experience in health insurance sales and customer support, and deep understanding of the industry’s systems, informs KindHealth’s thinking of what its AI needs to examine and what paths to follow. “My background helps KindHealth connect the dots among opportunities and truly make a good recommendation for someone,” he said.
Meanwhile, Tomasik draws on a track record of developing technology solutions that tailor solutions to individual consumers’ preferences and needs. “It starts with truly understanding the consumer’s problems, and what causes them, and then designing a solution to solve those problems,” he said. “In general, consumers share the problem that buying health insurance is complex, expensive and frustrating — but it doesn’t have to be that way.”
KindHealth’s AI can draw on a vast array of information, such as the history of health care usage, ages of any children and tolerance for risk. “We can look at that data and generate smart insights that don’t require humans and are instantly scalable,” Pomales said.
From that, KindHealth creates a better, more robust user experience. “Our system can provide you with an experience that’s unique to how you like to shop, different from what other individuals experience because we get to know you better,” Tomasik said. “The ultimate goal is the best, most intuitive user experience that weeds out the irrelevant for you. AI is just a tool to achieve that.”
And it’s working. Austin-based KindHealth has a robust array of health, dental, vision, life and Medicare insurance offerings that includes more than 250 insurance companies and healthcare.gov policies. KindHealth has helped over 1M people shop, compare, and purchase health insurance plans, collectively saving $5M in health insurance plans.
“As technology evolves and matures, we see an ideal opportunity to put it to use for the greater good,” Tomasik said. “We look forward to being at the forefront of this movement.”

ZeeMee: A Platform for Prospective Students to Highlight Themselves, Meet Fellow Students & Sel
Dana Reeder, M.Ed.
Apr 1, 2019
2 min read
I first heard of ZeeMee about 2 years ago at a conference where they presented. At the time, their focus was allowing students a platform to upload videos to their college application so admission professionals could see the personal side of who they were. They believe, which I 100% agree with, students are more than a class ranking, SAT/ACT score or GPA. They are more than a number and the videos allow the opportunity for a high school student to shine.
This week I met Adam Metcalf, Co-Founder of ZeeMee at the Texas Association of College Admission Counseling conference in Dallas and we had a fantastic conversation. Adam was a former high school teacher and is passionate about creating a platform where students can show colleges who they are which have had significant results in college consideration. In this video, Adam talks in-depth about why he believes ZeeMee matters. The video college submission still exists and more colleges are accepting this as part of the student's application package.
More recently they have expanded to a mobile app where colleges and current college students engage with prospective students. They engage thousands of students currently chatting in the college communities they are considering to learn more about the university. They are also harnessing the power of peer to peer influences through videos to help make decisions to see if a campus/university is right for them. 30% of students responded that other students they met in the ZeeMee Community influenced their decision to enroll at that campus.
Think about taking a college tour. You get insight from the admission person which is always positive. The ZeeMee Community allows secure interactions with individuals taking control of the narrative to share their campus story because college visits are viewed as the single most important factor for generating prospective student engagement and affinity. Through the ZeeMee app, students reach the same level of engagement as if they have actually visited the campus.
It's another tool in the toolkit but if you engage with a college, make sure you are engaging. This interaction could be viewed as another "touch point" for colleges to make decisions about your level of interest, hence acceptance.

title: High holy day call to action

text:
On the eve of the Jewish New Year, more than 125 Reform rabbis across the U.S. and Canada made a plea to the thousands of Jews observing Rosh Hashanah to call on political leaders to aid in the plight of the 11 million Syrian refugees fleeing the violence in their homeland—the worst refugee crisis since World War II.
Rabbi Irwin Zeplowitz, of the The Community Synagogue in Port Washington, said, “As Jews we have known the degradation and fear that comes from being a refugee. Too often we have been the ‘stranger,’ and so by dint of the Torah and our history we can empathize with those currently fleeing persecution, violence and religious intolerance. We know what it means to be the stranger and so are commanded to love the stranger.”
Rabbi Zeplowitz, along with The Community Synagogue’s other rabbi, Rabbi Danny Burkeman, and Cantor Claire Franco, will ask congregants during the Days of Awe (Rosh Hashanah through Yom Kippur) to ask the White House to include 100,000 Syrians in the refugee group admitted to the U.S. in the coming year. The U.S. government sets its refugee quota on Sept. 30. The current annual limit on refugees is 70,000 and, of those, only 10,000 are to be Syrian. High Holy Day attendees will be asked to sign on to a petition endorsing their support for admitting more Syrian refugees into the U.S., and to call on members of Congress to include funding for increased refugees and to donate to one of three Jewish organizations involved in refugee response.
In a recent sermon, Zeplowitz said, “Refugees and immigrants are not just outsiders who threaten our way of life. They are our grandparents. They are us. My mother and father were wandering Arameans. And so must I know that those who come from that same land—the modern area of ancient Aram—are connected to my story. The immigrant is not the enemy. The enemy is the hardness of heart that Pharaoh knew.”
According to a United Nations report, Syria has become the world’s top source of refugees. The larger Jewish Reform Movement is made up of approximately 900 congregations representing 1.5 million Jews and has endorsed this campaign through its Religious Action Center for Reform Judaism (the RAC) in Washington, DC by giving congregations tools to lobby, facts on the subject and liturgical inserts to use during the High Holiday season.
The Community Synagogue of Port Washington was founded in 1952. It serves 720 families in Port Washington and is Port Washington’s largest Reform congregation. For more information go to www.commsyn.org.


title: Protect our vote be a poll watcher

text:
Casting a ballot is your most fundamental right as an American. Everyone in the process, from voters and poll workers to candidates and their supporters, must work to ensure that voting runs smoothly. New machines, clerical errors, weary voters exhausted by long lines and uncertainty in crowded polling places—and sometimes over-zealous candidates and campaign volunteers—can serve to discourage and even turn away voters on Election Day.
The Horry County Democratic Party is devoted to ensuring our voters can cast their votes in an efficient and non-threatening environment.
Inside the polling place, properly trained Poll Watchers can help maintain a balanced and objective tone to the proceedings and help identify any issues before they escalate. Ultimately, the goal is to see that all eligible voters vote.
On Election Day, Poll Watchers may be assigned to one polling place or to rove among several locations. Volunteers may serve for all or part of the day. With at least 125 precincts in Horry County, HCDP needs an army of volunteers to help protect the vote on Election Day, so sign up today by calling our office and getting on the list! Because of the new machines, all experienced poll watchers will have additional training.
The following are some facts about Poll Watching and a schedule of trainings in the next few days.
What makes a Qualified Poll Watcher?
A Poll Watcher is a volunteer credentialed by a political party or, depending on the type of election, a specific candidate and assigned to a specific polling place(s) for the whole or partial Election Day. A Democratic Poll Watcher must be a registered voter in the county where they are assigned, and must be approved by the County Chair of the Democratic Party based on personal knowledge and/or training. [Note: a Poll Worker is paid by the Horry County Voters Registration & Elections to work for the entire Election Day. Training is required prior to each election. For information, call (843)488-HCDP(4237).
What is a Poll Watcher Authorized to Perform?
By listening to and observing the voting procedures employed within a polling place on Election Day, a qualified Poll Watcher can help to ensure that voters cast their votes without interference or intimidation.
By law (S.C. Code 7-13-860), Poll Watchers are authorized to observe the conduct of elections at a distance close enough to hear conversations between voters and Poll Managers and to observe the registration and sign-in books. In addition, Poll Watchers are authorized to observe the processing of any all types of paper ballots used in the election; the opening and closing of the machines; to inspect and record the final count of votes as announced; and the sealing of ballot containers after the Polls have closed.
Poll watchers are actively supported by the Voter Protection Committee and HCDP leadership during their service. Although poll watchers are not allowed to speak to the voters within the polling place, assistance such as arranging for a ride if they are directed to an alternate polling place is a great help to voters. The training provides other positive interventions. When the polling location is closed, Poll Watchers are authorized to inspect the public count of voters for all offices and record the final count of votes. Poll watching is a concrete manner that helps voters, candidates and our Party.


title: Absorption spectroscopy and its 3 basic types

text:
Absorption Spectrometry is known as the sensitive method to analyze the elements. It generally allows the determination of metals at the picogram level. This method has been used for various applications that involve a wide diversity of samples. Atomic Absorption Spectrometry also involves the measurement of optical radiation subsequent reduction. Nowadays, most people follow the Agilent Absorption Spectroscopy method that consists of a hollow cathode lamp that emits specific light wavelengths. These light wavelengths are absorbed by the atomic cell that helps to convert the samples into the gaseous atoms. It also comes with a detection system that can be used to isolate and quantify the interest wavelengths. Here the computer system also helps to control and collect the data during the instrument operation process.
Absorption spectroscopy is widely used in chemical analysis due to its quantitative nature. It allows the compounds to get distinguished from each other and makes absorption spectroscopy useful in various applications. Here the infrared gas analyzers are used to identify the presence of pollutants and distinguish the pollutants from oxygen, nitrogen, and water. Determining the absolute concentration of compounds tends to require the knowledge of the compound’s absorption coefficient. This absorption coefficient is generally available from the relative reference resources. It is also determined by using the absolute concentration of the compound. Some of the common applications of Absorption Spectroscopy are Remote sensing, Astronomy, Atomic physics, and molecular physics. Apart from these absorption spectroscopies can be also used to determine the accuracy of various theoretical predictions. For example, the lamb shift is measured in the form of a hydrogen atomic absorption spectrum.
Some of the common elements that are analyzed with Atomic Absorption Spectrometry are electrothermal atomizers and flames. Flames are generally controlled by the combustion environment. They are known to carry the advantage of ease of use, speed, and various other factors. Hence it allows the simple interface for specification along with a chromatographic system. Its efficiency is generally 5%, and the atoms get dispersed across in huge volume. This causes the sensitivity of the Flame Atomic Absorption Spectrometry to get poor. Electrothermal Atomizers are also referred to as graphite furnaces that employ the small graphite tube where the temperature can be controlled by the different power supplies. Here further, we will refer to some of the common methods used in Absorption Spectrometry.
Atomic Absorption Spectroscopy
Atomic Absorption Spectroscopy analyzes the chemical elements by absorbing the optical radiation. Here it also uses the free atoms under a gaseous state. It generally relies on the Beer-Lambert Law, where it establishes the relationship between known analysis standards and the sample concentration. This is considered as the sensitive process that measures the parts per billion. Certain disadvantages can occur in this technique. With Atomic Absorption Spectroscopy, one can only analyze the solution. Apart from this, it also requires a large amount of samples for analysis purposes and can face issues with refractory elements.
Absorption Spectroscopy also uses electromagnetic radiation between 190mm to 800mm. It is further divided into the ultraviolet as well as into the visible regions. The absorption of ultraviolet and visible radiation tends to lead to the transition in between the electronic energy levels of the molecule. Hence it is also referred to as electronic spectroscopy. The given information of ultraviolet or visible radiation can provide you with clues for valuable structural information when combined with other sources of spectral data. Here the electric component of the electromagnetic waves is considered as the important one. The light that travels through the space is represented by the sinusoidal trace. The origin of this absorption is related to the valence electrons, and it can be generally found in any of the types of electron orbitals named single, double, and nonbonding orbitals. The single orbital tends to occupy the lower energy as compared to the nonbonding orbitals.
Optical Absorption Spectroscopy
Absorption Spectroscopy is also used to determine the mass concentration of the element, whether it is solid or liquid. This method is generally based on the atomic absorption principle, where the ground state electrons are elevated to the excited state by absorbing the energy derived from the light of a specific wavelength. Here the simple mass concentration can be quantified due to the energy absorption to the atoms in the light path.
