There are several options for the etymology of Shaddai. My opinion is to take it from a word for "mountain."
I can't see how the wikisource gets to the translation it does. That certainly varies from the BHS. I think what they are doing is taking the et before shaddai as the mark of the accusative (thus making shaddai the direct object of the verb). While this is often the case (the most common that I have seen in my studies), it can also function to emphasize the subject in (see 2 Kings 6:5 and Gen 17:5 for two examples). I also note that there are several disjunctive accent marks in places that would shift the meaning closer to the more common translation.
Genesis 49:25 From the God of your father who helps you, And by the Almighty who blesses you With blessings of heaven above, Blessings of the deep that lies beneath, Blessings of the breasts and of the womb. [NASU]
There is Hebrew parallelism in this verse that the Wikisource misses. Notice how it breaks down;
From the God of your father who helps you,
And by the Almighty who blesses you With blessings of heaven above,
Blessings of the deep that lies beneath,
Blessings of the breasts and of the womb.
The first two parts line up in direct parallel. "The God of your father who helps you" parallels with "the almighty who blesses you." Then the next 3 clauses tell how that help and blessing comes. "A blessing on the breasts" misses that and breaks the flow.
Also, the word they translate as "squatting" means "lie down, recline, stretch out, lie down stretched out." That is a different position than "squat."
The Theological Wordbook of the Old Testament has this entry on el-shaddai.
[Skipping the breakdown of where it is found to get to the analysis]
The translation "Almighty" goes back to ancient times, at least as far back as the LXX, which translates shadday as pantokratœr "all powerful." This is also reflected in the Vulgate, omnipotens. The rabbinic analysis of this word is that it is a compound word composed of the relative she, "who" and the word day, "enough: she-day," the one who is (self-)sufficient" (Babylonian Talmud, Hagigah 12a).
In recent times these earlier suggestions have been all but rejected and new ones have been put in their place. We need to mention only some of the more tenable suggestions. One is that shadday is to be connected with the Hebrew verb shadad "to destroy," hence "my destroyer." A second possibility, and this is the most widely accepted today, is that shadday is to be connected with the Akkadian word, šadu "mountain." Thus El Shaddai would translate into English something like "God/El of the mountain," i.e. God's abode. The ending - ay is to be understood as an adjectival suffix (and thus the translation "of the.... "), a morphological feature now demonstrated by Ugaritic: for example, one of El's three daughters is called °rƒy ( °arƒi) and means, "she of the earth." Also related etymologically, in addition to Akkadian šadu is Ugaritic ¾d, (Cross, see bibliography pp. 248-250).
As El Shaddai God manifested himself to the patriarchs (Exo 6:3): specifically to Abraham, Gen 17:1; to Isaac, Gen 28:3; and to Jacob, Gen 35:11; Gen 43:14, Gen 48:3. The context for most of these references is the covenant, more precisely the command for obedience and faithfulness on the part of the vassal and the promise of progeny by God. It is not to the hills (natural phenomenon) that these men of faith looked for confidence but to the Lord of these hills, the Lord of the mountain (Psa 121:1-2).

(Santa Ana, CA)—When Rancho Santiago Community College District (RSCCD) Trustees visits the Santa Ana College Early Childhood Education Center on December 15, they will read aloud to children, who are students at the lab school. Following the reading, they will visit classrooms and present a gift book to each child. Included with that book will be a card which includes the following tips for reading aloud to children for parents:
- Read to children from birth-short board books are best for babies.
- Take children to the library or store to choose a book.
- Find a quiet comfortable place to read-make sure your child can see the pictures.
- Select books with great pictures and rhyming words to engage children.
- Read a variety of books, but repeat favorites.
- Use enthusiasm and expression when reading-use sounds and gestures.
- Explain some new words that your child may not have heard before.
- Alter stories by putting in your child's name.
- Read slowly to allow children to build a mental picture of the story.
- Encourage children to turn the pages of the book.
- Ask question and have children make predictions about the story.
- Limit the amount of time your children watch television; read to a child instead.
- Read every day to children—make reading a habit!
These additional resources will also be provided for parents:
For more information, please contact Janneth Linnell, RSCCD director of Child Development Services at _EMAIL_ or _PHONE_.

The Vedran Portal Chambers are a series of identical inter-solar transportation devices that were put into place to make travel between the Seefra planets instantaneous and easy. They were, in recent times, rediscovered and guarded by Orlund.
Each Chamber consists of an entrance from a series of subterranean tunnels, a central pedestal with eight holes as storage spots for eight crystal keys. Eight doors surround the pedestal opposite the entrance. The doors are large and metal and have designs on the panels, each of which appears to contain components underneath. They also have a key slot for a crystal in the surrounding frame of each door. When a crystal key is placed in the key slot, it activates a Tessaract portal to the corresponding Seefran planet. Stepping through, one is instantly moved to the selected planet. ("What Will Be Was Not")
Over time the portal chambers were forgotten and only a select few knew of their existence. They considered themselves guardians of the Vedran technology and became zealots, eventually guarding the chambers even from their creators' use, afraid of persecution for their efforts. One such guardian eventually gained the trust and admiration of Captain Dylan Hunt. This same guardian had collected enough key crystals to complete one set of eight which he keeps in the pedestal on Seefra 1. When a door is activated from one side, it is accessible by both sides by placing a hand on a certain panel. it is not necessary to have a crystal on both sides, for example if someone on Seefra 1 places a crystal in the fifth door, then the first door in Seefra 5's portal chamber will become active.
The keys themselves are linked to their planet's structure, and if the crystal is struck it causes termors planetwide. According to Harper if a crystal is damaged, it could destroy the planet it is linked to. This would explain why the keys were hidden since if any one planet was destroyed, the entire system would be wiped out with the return of the Vedran sun. ("What Will Be Was Not")
The portal chambers were later used to assist in the evacutation of Seefra 2-9 inhabitants to Seefra 1.

Low Volatility Drag Is As Bad Or Even Worse Than High Volatility Drag
Everyone has heard of volatility drag and how it negatively impacts compound returns. However, very low volatility can also have a detrimental effect on growth. Below are some examples.
Everyone understands that if there is a loss of 50%, then a gain of 100% must be realized to break even. High volatility imposes a drag on equity growth. The volatility drag is the difference between arithmetic and compound return but this is only an approximation that is useful for all practical purposes. As the volatility drag increases, compound returns decrease and may even get negative.
However, there is rarely a reference to the low volatility drag on returns possibly because risk of ruin is lower. As I will demonstrate below with examples, low volatility drag can be more detrimental than high volatility drag.
For this study, we set all daily arithmetic returns higher than +2% and lower than -2% to +2% and -2% relatively, and all negative daily arithmetic return larger than -0.5% to -0.5% and all positive arithmetic returns smaller than +0.5% to +0.5%. Therefore, If Ri represents the daily arithmetic return, the transformations are as follows:
 - If Ri > +2% then Ri = +2%
 - If Ri < -2% then Ri = -2%
 - If Ri > 0 and Ri < +0.5% then Ri = +0.5%
 - If Ri < 0 and Ri > -0.5%, then Ri = -0.5%
Case 1. SPY since inception to 12/20/2017
The first pane shows the evolution of prices after setting low volatility returns to ±0.5% and the second pane the evolution of prices after setting high volatility returns to ±2%. The results confirm the impact of high volatility drag. Without high volatility prices would have been at 350.10 versus the current 267.58. But without low volatility price would have been still higher at 282.22 but not as high as 350.10. Therefore, both low and high volatility impact prices negatively but in this case high volatility has a more negative effect.
Case 2. S&P 500 index from 01/02/1961 to 12/20/2017
This is now getting interesting: removing low volatility has a more positive effect than removing high volatility. Specifically, by setting all low volatility daily returns to ±0.5%, price growth is much higher along with CAGR as compared to capping high volatility daily returns to ±2%. The index would have been at 4,673 if with some magical way all low daily changes were set to ±0.5% versus a 3.729 if the magic was used to cap large daily returns at ±2%.
Note that in both cases price is higher but we are interested in relative performance. In the case of the S&P 500 it appears the low volatility drag has been more pronounced than high volatility drag.
The relative difference of the impact of low and high volatility drag depends on the distribution of returns. However, in most academic papers and in articles the impression left is that (high) volatility drag has a more pronounced effect. As I show here, this is not always the case. This can also be seen from the NASDAQ chart:
Price and CAGR after removing low volatility are higher than when capping high volatility. However, this does not hold for NASDAQ-100:
In this case high volatility drag is much more pronounced than low volatility drag and removing high volatility results in a much higher price and CAGR but also at a much lower maximum drawdown as may be seen from the chart above.
The conclusion is that low volatility can be a worse drag then high volatility in some cases. The relative difference depends on the distribution of returns but also on their sequence of occurrence in the time domain. But in general, assuming that volatility drag is related only to high volatility may not be a correct assumption. Markets are more complicated than the simple formulas finance and economics use. Drawing conclusions about highly non-linear stochastic processes from simplified models has helped many people in getting advanced degrees, securing tenure or publishing papers and books but reality is much more complicated than that as practitioners and others with skin-in-the-game know.

The FBC Guide To Using Dried Fruit | Food Bloggers of Canada
An Allergen Friendly Guide To Dried Fruit | Food Bloggers of Canada
Dried fruit is an ingredient we probably don't think about when we consider allergy risks. After all, it's just fruit that's had the moisture sucked out of it, right?
Not always, unfortunately. In today's column, I'll walk you through some the allergy and health considerations you may want to be mindful of when using dried fruit or cooking for someone with an allergy.
Dried Fruit and Gluten-Intolerance/Celiac Disease
If you're serving food or desserts to people with celiac disease or a gluten intolerance, be aware dried fruits may be contaminated with sources of gluten. Some companies that sell dried fruits coat them with glutenous flours so they don't stick together. You probably won't be able to see the flour with the naked eye, but the presence of flour is enough to trigger a reaction in someone who is gluten intolerant or has celiac disease. It's typically a good bet to ask the grocery store manager or call the company to double check if flours or another glutenous ingredient were used.
Also, if you purchase from bulk bins someone else may have accidentally used a scoop from another bin with a glutenous product and then left it in the dried fruit. So even if the fruit in the bin was initially gluten free, the contaminated scoop tainted the whole thing. Whenever possible, I like to buy from the vertical bins where you have to pull a lever to release the bulk goodies; that way, you don't have scoops coming and going willy-nilly.
Dried Fruit and Mould
Dried fruit can support mould and yeast growth, and this can lead to the production of mycotoxins. Mycotoxins are compounds that can impact our immune health, and potentially cause gastrointestinal distress and influence liver, kidney and carcinogenic diseases. Some moulds may cause respiratory or skin symptoms as well.
Shipping, handling and storing can impact mould growth on foods. Here in Canada, the government monitors our food supply and sets maximum allowable levels for mycotoxins. Once you buy them, ensure you store dried fruits properly in airtight containers and stash in a cool, dark place (you can also check out this post from Well Preserved for more dried fruit storage and handling tips).
Check your dried fruit for any visible signs of mould and note any strange odours, discolouration or a change in texture. When in doubt, just throw it out! Also, don't just scrape off the mouldy bits; if mould is showing up in one part of your dried fruit, it will likely have infiltrated the whole thing.
Dried Fruit and Sulphites
An Allergen Friendly Guide To Dried Fruit | Food Bloggers of Canada
Sulphites are a preservative used on dried fruit — as well as many other foods and beverages — to extend shelf life. The sulphites found on dried fruit are linked to a range of effects, including itchy skin, hives, stomach pain, diarrhea, asthma and even anaphylaxis.
The government requires food companies to list suphites on packaging, so be sure to check labels if you or someone you know is sensitive to them.
Dried Fruit and Blood Sugar
Since most fresh fruit is already naturally sweet, when you remove the water what you're left with are highly concentrated nuggets of sweetness and fibre. While fibre can help to slow down blood sugar, you're still consuming a lot of sugar and it's important to be mindful of how much dried fruit you eat. It's much easier to guzzle a dozen dried apricots than to eat a dozen fresh ones in one sitting, right?
RELATED: The Spice Box: Getting To Know Nutmeg & Mace
Some dried fruit manufacturers coat their products with extra sugar, maple syrup or fruit juices to make them even sweeter, or to make them more palable in some cases. Take dried cranberries, for instance. Cranberries are incredibly sour when fresh, while the dried versions are often more sweet than tangy.
You may also want to make a note to drink more water if you've been snacking on dried fruits, or rehydrate dried fruits for a few minutes in warm water before using them so your digestive tract doesn't need to pull additional water to rehydrate them. Remember, dried fruit is high in fibre, and fibre needs water to move through your system efficiently.
How To Use Dried Fruit
Dried fruit can be used in your diet in a multitude of ways, including:
Make Your Own Dried Fruit!
An Allergen Friendly Guide To Dried Fruit | Food Bloggers of Canada
Drying fruits is a great way to preserve them, especially if you've got a large amount on hand and have already made jam and frozen several containers worth in the freezer.
You can use a food dehydrator if you have one, or dry them out in 4 to 8 hours in the oven. My two favourite things to make are fruit leather and apple chips. Fruit leather is super easy: puree your fruit in a food processor or blender, then spread it out to dry in your dehydrator or on parchment in the oven. For apple chips, I slice them thinly and sprinkle with cinnamon (you could also add dried ginger or nutmeg), then bake in the oven until they're dry. Great for fall apple season!
Storing Dried Fruit
Dried fruit should be stored in a cool, dark place in an airtight container and can last for several months like this. You can also store them in airtight glass containers that can look really pretty on your counter or pantry shelves but exposure to light will shorten the shelf life of your dried fruit so be sure to use them up quickly if you do that.
You can also store dried fruit in the freezer if you want to keep it longer. It can last up to a year like this.
How do you like to use dried fruit in your everyday cooking? Please share in the comments!

A console, glowing.
A console is a PPC agent's workstation, found in almost every response center.
The console is widely known for giving off a loud and shrill BEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEP! whenever a new mission appears on the screen. BEEP!s have been known to be heard well outside of their response centers and to BEEP! in words (usually profane) should they be left unacknowledged long enough (TOS).
According to the Laws of Narrative Comedy, the probability of a console beeping increases in direct proportion to the amount of sleep its agent needs. Consequently, the console is vulnerable to heavy damage by fire, heavy metal objects, fists, or all of the above.
There are many parts to a console, which is described in the following detail by Despatch:
Display screen on which the Words of various stories, and any messages which are relevant to the job, can be displayed.
Series of buttons. Known ones are:
 - Red - Acknowledge job.
 - Blue - Coordination linkups.
Series of flashing lights. Known ones are:
 - Red - Indicates a new mission (possibly restricted to assassination missions only).
 - Green - Crossovers acknowledgment: press the button below the light to get any messages from them.
 - "New message" (color unknown) - indicates that the console has received a message.
Panel for setting disguises. The disguises themselves would probably look a little like "skins" from the Sims.
When receiving messages rather than missions, consoles will [Bing!] or [Bip!] instead of [BEEP!]. When a message is left unacknowledged, there will be a steady [Bip. Bip. Bip.] sound and a flashing "new message" light.
Some consoles have been suspected of developing limited sentience, or at least a strong sense of self-preservation. A console that has a history of having violence inflicted upon it to get it to shut up may respond to vocal commands (i.e. shutting up when told if violence is threatened) or actively modulate its own volume to avoid problems. This may be due to tinkering on DoSAT's part; if it is, though, they're not telling.
Consoles can also be called, and Inter-Console Electronic Post is used for communication purposes, whether between agents, agent to Flower, or between Flowers. They also appear to have at least limited Internet access.
PunchGuardTM is sometimes used by DoSAT in an attempt to prevent damage to consoles, but its effectiveness varies.
TARDIS consoles use the Cloister Bell instead of a beep.

Visual Patience for faster hits—how to take your time and be quick about it…
Talk about a contradiction in terms!
How can you be patient in a hurry?
And what is visual patience?
Visual patience is simply waiting until you can see to take action.
If you're doing sighted shooting, it means waiting until you can see your sights to press the trigger…sometimes clearly, sometimes not.
It means waiting until you can visually verify that your sights have come back into alignment before taking followup shots.
In low light, it means leaving your light on long enough to actually see what you're lighting up and positively identify it.
When you can see that your sights are aligned on the target and you press the trigger without disturbing sight alignment, you'll hit what you want to hit.
If you rush things and press the trigger before you see your sights, there's a good chance that you'll miss your target, have to take a makeup shot, and be slower than if you just took the time to make the first shot count.
So, to get HITS as quickly as possible, it's important to be patient and verify that your sights are pointed where you want them to be pointed. It takes time, but when you combine it with solid trigger manipulation, it guarantees hits.
You just don't want the process to take any longer than necessary.
For most people, it takes.3 seconds or even up to 1-2 seconds to shift and stabilize focus. And that's time that you simply don't have in a gunfight or in a timed shoot.
As a result, people try bigger sights, focusing on the threat, and other techniques that may work, but bring significant baggage with them.
There are advanced techniques that I teach, like how to shift your focus to the point in space where the front sight will be…before it gets there…to speed up the process, but there's even more you can do.
The brain operates on a principle called SAID. It stands for specific adaptation to imposed demand. It means that if you stress a muscle, it will get stronger. If you practice running fast, you'll run faster.
And when you stop imposing demands on the body, the brain has a "use it or lose it" policy. Unused muscles get smaller and flabby. If you don't keep moving fast, you'll slow down.
The same laws work for your eyes and visual cortex.
There's a really good chance that you see slower now than you could at some point in the past (use it or lose it).
And there's also a REALLY good chance that you can speed up how quickly you see with minimal effort (specific adaptation). From my experience, most people have ignored the performance aspects of their eyes and, as a result, can double or triple how quickly they see.
This isn't a case of seeing at superhuman speeds as much as it is taking the brakes off so you can see as quickly as you were made to see.
So, how do you do it? How do you eliminate visual deficits and get back the vision you should have?
Here's 2 quick & easy drills
They're called saccades (jerks) and near-fars.
With saccades, simply extend your arms straight out so your hands are slightly wider than shoulder width apart and make a "thumbs-up" gesture with both hands. (you can also hold a pen or pencil in each hand)
Now, practice shifting your focus back and forth between both thumbs (or pens) as quickly as you can for 10-20 seconds at a time.
Shifting focus back and forth 60 times per minute looks kind of like this:
You'll want to make sure to be patient enough to wait until you can see your thumb clearly before shifting focus to your other thumb. << This is key. If you cheat at the drill and shift focus before you can see your thumb clearly, you won't get as much benefit from the drill.
Why does it take so long?
There's a few reasons…
 1. Coordinated movement of the eyes (having them look at the same place in space) is a skill…like any skill, you can lose it if you don't use it and push it.
 2. Saccadic suppression/blindness. Your brain cuts out all of the "frames" between when you're looking at the previous point in space and when you're looking at the new point in space. You're technically blind and unaware of what's happening visually during this time. This can be improved.
 3. Muscle speed. The 6 muscles around the eyes get slower with disuse…this is a skill.
 4. Lack of independent movement of the eyes, head, and torso. If you only have to flick your eyes back and forth, it's faster than if you flick your head and eyes together, which is quicker than if you have to turn your entire body to shift focus. It's common for people who wear glasses all of the time to have reduced range of motion with their eyes, independent from their face. This is a skill.
 5. Lack of precision & overtravel. It's common to over-shoot the target when shifting focus. This is a skill.
 6. Slow visual processing. This is a skill.
(Believe it or not…there's more that goes into shifting focus, but almost every aspect can be trained and improved with super-simple drills)
With near-fars, first, pick something you can see clearly that's 10 or more feet away. Then, make a thumbs-up gesture with one thumb straight out in front of you between your eyes and the distant object.
Now, shift your focus back and forth between the near object (thumb) and far object as quickly as you can while keeping clear focus.
You only want to do this drill 10-20 seconds at a time too.
If you wear bifocals, trifocals, or progressives, this will be challenging.
You can also do this in your car while stopped at stoplights…shifting focus back and forth between your speedometer and the license plate of the car in front of you.
Vision drills are INCREDIBLY powerful.
They'll make you a quicker, more accurate shooter, a safer driver, and in many cases, they'll help with flexibility, muscle strength, and joint pain. (there's some complicated neurology involved with why this happens…you don't need to know why it works for it to work, but if you want to know why it works, I cover it in Upgraded Shooter).
The best thing about vision training is that it's quick and easy.
You can get dramatic, life changing results with only a few minutes of vision training per day…This isn't training you need to make time for. It's training that you can do while you're doing other things.
Unlike gun training, you can do Tactical Vision Training at work, in a restaurant, or other crowded public places without causing a stir.
So, I want to encourage you to try those two drills. And if you're serious about shooting, I want to encourage you to check out my Tactical Vision Training Course
This ground breaking course is the only vision training course on the market designed specifically for defensive pistol shooters…home defense, law enforcement, military, and concealed carry.
It'll show you how to improve your vision speed, visual clarity, peripheral awareness & threat detection, peripheral vision (it's different), and how to integrate your sighted and threat focused aiming systems in the brain.

Hand gesture and electronic circuit for sonification of drawing
Drawdio – Jay Silver's original designed kit. It's the contemporary electronic tool for drawing music.
How does the drawing look like made by Drawdio?
Metaphorically, growing-drawing are growing like plants, instead of water there is a sound which stimulates growing of the drawing.
Interface Cultures, Kunstuniversität Linz
The experience of drawing action with Drawdio is significant for the flow of electronic sounds. The sound was controlling the outcome of drawing in a process and has priority over the hand gesture. Therefore, lines are an expression of the sound through the motion of the hand gesture.
The process of sonically drawn lines; the abstract form of drawing process, a hand is following an electronic sound, the electronic circuit is triggered by graphite's conductivity and skin; hands gestures draw and close the circuit simultaneously.


The three pillars of the banking union
The banking union is the biggest milestone in the integration of EU economies and institutions since the Economic and Monetary Union (EMU) was launched. It provides the essential underpinnings for financial stability and helps build crisis resilience and enhance risk monitoring and assessment. Moreover, the banking union addresses the fragmentation of financial markets within the euro area and contributes to breaking the negative feedback loop between bank debt and sovereign debt. The banking union benefits above all smaller countries with a large share of cross-border banking activities, such as Austria.
The banking union is based on three pillars:
 - the Single Supervisory Mechanism (SSM)
 - the Single Resolution Mechanism (SRM)
 - the European Deposit Insurance Scheme (EDIS)
banking union
The first pillar of the banking union, the SSM, increases the effectiveness of supervision and enhances cross-border cooperation and coordination. Under the SSM, the European Central Bank (ECB) is responsible for the supervision of significant banks, i.e. of those banks on which the euro area's financial stability hinges in the first place. The second pillar, the SRM, ensures an orderly resolution of failing banks. The proposal for the third pillar, EDIS, builds on the current system of national deposit guarantee schemes, which have been harmonized to ensure that all deposits are protected across the EU up to EUR 100,000 per person and bank. Ultimately, these bank deposit guarantees are to be fully financed by EDIS.
The consistency of supervisory practices within the banking union is ensured with the help of a single rulebook and a single supervisory handbook. Moreover, the ECB issues regulations, guidelines, recommendations and instructions for the banking system as a whole and is ultimately accountable for the effectiveness and consistency of the SSM.

Vertical Firing
Published: | Updated: July 25, 2017
Definition - What does Vertical Firing mean?
Vertical firing is a type of combustion furnace used in the combustion of pulverized coal. The burners are usually placed in the floor, firing vertically upward.
Vertical firing is mainly used in slag-tap systems (from which ash is removed in a molten state). Since these systems have not greatly reduced fly ash discharge and are limited to the range of usable coals with low ash fusion temperatures, most pulverized installation after the 1940s has been designed for horizontal or tangential firing.
Corrosionpedia explains Vertical Firing
Vertical firing refers to a furnace which is vertically installed to minimize the asymmetric effects of flame, particle deposition and slagging. Furnaces used for pulverized coal are classified according to the firing method:
 - Vertical firing
 - Horizontal firing
 - Tangential firing
Vertical firing leads to extended and progressive heat release, and thus provides a relatively uniform temperature distribution throughout the furnace. It also furnishes a longer path of travel for fuel particles. Therefore, complete combustion of low volatile coal is ensured.
In vertical firing, alternate lanes of flame and air space are used, corresponding to number of burners. Secondary air is used through ports in front of the furnace. The length and intensity of the flame can be varied by controlling the points of secondary air supply. Tertiary air is admitted around the nozzles to help regulate the point of ignition. The depth of the flame may be adjusted by controlling the primary and tertiary air.

Perspectives on key principles of generalist medical practice in public service in Sub-Saharan Africa: a qualitative study
The original publication is available at _URL_
Abstract Background: The principles and practice of Family Medicine that arose in developed Western countries have been imported and adopted in African countries without adequate consideration of their relevance and appropriateness to the African context. In this study we attempted to elicit a priori principles of generalist medical practice from the experience of long-serving medical officers in a variety of African counties, through which we explored emergent principles of Family Medicine in our own context. Methods A descriptive study design was utilized, using qualitative methods. 16 respondents who were clinically active medical practitioners, working as generalists in the public services or non-profit sector for at least 5 years, and who had had no previous formal training or involvement in academic Family Medicine, were purposively selected in 8 different countries in southern, western and east Africa, and interviewed. Results The respondents highlighted a number of key issues with respect to the external environment within which they work, their collective roles, activities and behaviours, as well as the personal values and beliefs that motivate their behaviour. The context is characterized by resource constraints, high workload, traditional health beliefs, and the difficulty of referring patients to the next level of care. Generalist clinicians in sub-Saharan Africa need to be competent across a wide range of clinical disciplines and procedural skills at the level of the district hospital and clinic, in both chronic and emergency care. They need to understand the patient's perspective and context, empowering the patient and building an effective doctor-patient relationship. They are also managers, focused on coordinating and improving the quality of clinical care through teamwork, training and mentoring other health workers in the generalist setting, while being life-long learners themselves. However, their role in the community, was found to be more aspirational than real. Conclusions The study derived a set of principles for the practice of generalist doctors in sub-Saharan Africa based on the reported activities and approaches of the respondents. Patient-centred care using a biopsychosocial approach remains as a common core principle despite wide variations in context. Procedural and hospital care demands a higher level of skills particularly in rural areas, and a community orientation is desirable, but not widely practiced. The results have implications for the postgraduate training of family physicians in sub-Saharan Africa, and highlight questions regarding the realization of community-orientated primary care.

A wet nurse
is a woman who breast feeds
a baby that is not her own. These children may be known as milk-siblings and in some cultures share a special relationship.
Reasons for use
A wet nurse may be employed if the mother
of a baby is unable or unwilling to breast-feed her infant. The reasons may range from drug use (prescription
), to illnesses such as cancer and their treatment. Wet nurses have also been required for a perceived insufficient production of breast milk, i.e. when the mother feels incapable of adequately nursing her child, especially following multiple births
. One traditional reason for the appearance of wet nurses in all cultures was death of women in childbirth from complications, a reason that has disappeared with modern medicine.
Some wet nurses also serve as a midwife during childbirth.
A woman can only serve as a wet nurse when she is lactating
. It is often thought that this means the wet nurse must have recently given birth to a child of her own. This may be the case, but not necessarily, since regular suckling on a woman's breast can elicit the production of milk via a neural reflex through production of prolactin
The practice of using wet nurses is ancient and found in many cultures. Sometimes it is linked to social class
. Members of property-owning classes had their children wet-nursed, in the hope of becoming pregnant again quickly to ensure an heir
. (Lactation can suppress ovulation
.) Poor women, especially those who suffered the stigma
of giving birth to an illegitimate
child, sometimes had to give their baby up, temporarily or permanently, and a wet nurse would look after it.
One myth holds that the Egyptian princess Bathiah tried giving baby Moses to wet nurses, but he would not take their milk, for he was destined to speak with the Shekhinah. The prophet Muhammad was wet-nursed by Halimah bint Abi Dhuayb. Wet nursing was reported in France in the time of Louis XIV, the early 17th century. Later, Napoleon was wet-nursed by a woman called Camilla. Wet nurses were common for children of all social ranks in the southern United States during the 19th and early 20th centuries. Women took in babies for money in Victorian Britain, and nursed them themselves or fed them with whatever was cheapest. This was known as baby-farming; poor care sometimes resulted in high infant death rates.
Wet nursing has sometimes been used with old or sick people who have trouble taking other nutrition. John Jacob Astor and John D. Rockefeller reportedly hired wet nurses for their own use in their old age.
Sigmund Freud's theories about the Oedipal complex are speculated to have been the result of his being raised by a wet-nurse, rather than his mother. This dissociation from his mother prevented the Westermarck effect from taking hold.
Through the widespread availability of infant formula
, wet nurses are no longer necessary in developed nations
and, therefore, are not common. The act of nursing a baby other than one's own often provokes strong negative reactions in countries such as the United States and the United Kingdom, being compared to wife swapping
and potentially viewed as child abuse
. When a mother is unable to nurse her own infant, an acceptable mediated substitute is expressed milk (or especially colostrum
) donated to milk banks
, analogous to blood banks
The use of a wet nurse is still a common practice in many developing countries, although it poses a risk of HIV infection. The use of a wetnurse is seen as a status symbol in some parts of modern China.
Islamic law or sharia specifies the permanent family-like relationships (known as rada) incurred by people who were nursed by the same woman, i.e. who grew up together as youngsters. They and various specific relatives cannot marry, that is, they are mahram, and the rules of modesty known as hijab are relaxed, as they would be for family members.
Examples in fiction
- In William Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet the character Nurse had been Juliet's wet nurse. "Were not I thine only nurse, I would say thou hadst sucked wisdom from thy teat." 1.3.72
- In George Moore's novel Esther Waters, the eponymous heroine works as a wet nurse after the birth of her son while leaving him in the hands of a baby farmer.
- In John Steinbeck's novel The Grapes of Wrath, set in a time of great poverty, a woman whose baby has just died, and consequently whose breasts are engorged with milk, wet-nurses a man at the point of death, as no other nourishment is available, a reference to Roman Charity.
- In the movie Spartacus, Crassus captures Spartacus's wife and baby. Since he wants Varinia as a concubine, he purchases a wet nurse for her baby. Varinia rejects his offer, saying, "I sent her away: I prefer to nurse the child myself."
- In Blackadder II, Nursie, the Queen's childhood nurse, is commonly perceived as being a wet nurse: "In the old days, it was all difficult choices. Should you have Nursie milk or moo-cow milk? Of course, it was always Nursie milk…."

1990s Portal
The 1990s, also known as "the Nineteen Nineties" or abbreviated as "the Nineties" or "the '90s", was the decade that started on 1 January 1990, and ended on 31 December 1999. It was the tenth and final decade of the 20th century and the last full decade of the 2nd millennium.
The '90s is often considered the true dawn of the Information Age. Though info-age technologies predate the 1980s, it was not until the late 1980s and the 1990s that they became widely used by the general public. A combination of factors, including the mass mobilization of capital markets through neoliberalism, the beginning of the widespread proliferation of new media such as the Internet, and the dissolution of the Soviet Union led to a realignment and reconsolidation of economic and political power across the world, and within countries.
The 1990s is often considered the end of Modernity and the dawn of the Postmodern age, even though the first traces of postmodernity takes place as far back as the 1940s,[1] however, some contemporary theory has proposed that the 1990's actually marked the end of this era, having peaked during the 1980's. The economies and living standards of some countries such as South Korea and Ireland improved to such an extent that they were considered First World nations by the decade's end.

this painting the ermine has black spots over its entire body resembling heraldic ermine.
Folklore and mythology[edit]
In Irish mythology, stoats were viewed anthropomorphically as animals with families, which held rituals for their dead. They were also viewed as noxious animals prone to thieving, and their saliva was said to be able to poison a grown man. To encounter a stoat when setting out for a journey was considered bad luck, but one could avert this by greeting the stoat as a neighbour.[39] Stoats were also supposed to hold the souls of infants who died before baptism.[40] In the folklore of the Komi people of the Urals, stoats are symbolic of beautiful and coveted young women.[41] In the Zoroastrian religion, the stoat is considered a sacred animal, as its white winter coat represented purity. Similarly, Mary Magdalene was depicted as wearing a white stoat pelt as a sign of her reformed character. One popular European legend had it that a white stoat would die before allowing its pure white coat to be besmirched. When it was being chased by hunters, it would supposedly turn around and give itself up to the hunters rather than risk soiling itself.[42]
Fur use[edit]
Stoat skins are prized by the fur trade, especially in winter coat, and used to trim coats and stoles. The fur from the winter coat is referred to as ermine. There is also a design, also called ermine, which is inspired by the winter coat of the stoat but which is painted onto other furs, such as rabbit.[43] In Europe these furs are a symbol of royalty and high status; the ceremonial robes of members of the UK House of Lords and the academic hoods of the universities of Oxford and Cambridge are traditionally trimmed with ermine[43] although in practice rabbit or fake fur is now often used instead due to expense or animal rights concerns. Prelates of the Catholic Church still wear ecclesiastical garments featuring ermine (a sign of their status equal to that of the nobility). Cecilia Gallerani is depicted holding an ermine in her portrait, Lady with an Ermine. Henry Peacham's Emblem 75, which depicts an ermine being pursued by a hunter and two hounds, is entitled "Cui candor morte redemptus" ("Purity bought with his own death"). Peacham goes on to preach that men and women should follow the example of the ermine and keep their minds and consciences as pure as the legendary ermine keeps its fur.[44]
Ermine were also valued by the Tlingit and other indigenous peoples of the Pacific Northwest Coast. They could be attached to traditional regalia and cedar bark hats as status symbols, or they were also made into shirts.[45]
The stoat was a fundamental item in the fur trade of the Soviet Union, with no less than half the global catch coming from within its borders. The Soviet Union also contained the highest grades of stoat pelts, with the best grade North American pelts being comparable only to the 9th grade in the quality criteria of former Soviet stoat standards. However, stoat harvesting never became a specialty in any Soviet republic, with most stoats being captured incidentally in traps or near villages. Stoats in the Soviet Union were captured either with dogs or with box-traps or jaw-traps. Guns were rarely used, as they could damage the pelt.[46]

I Never Promised You A Rose Garden Literary Analysis
1352 Words 6 Pages
In American literature some authors use fiction and others use nonfiction to expand a student's reading. When using fiction, it is an imaginary event about imaginary people that writers will use to talk about something that is false. In opposition some writers will use nonfiction that is based on facts, real events that happened with real people. One such example of nonfiction is a biography. In the fictional novel of I Never Promised You A Rose Garden by Joanne Greenberg, a young girl named Deborah suffers from a mental illness. In her own world named Yr she is taunted by voices that isolate her from the outside worlds. She struggles everyday when thinking of a "normal" life again. Her dad really pushes for her to become normal, sometimes maybe even …show more content…
She is a sixteen year old girl who is admitted into a mental hospital by her parents by the advice of what her doctor told them to do. She was admitted after attempting suicide. In some incidents she will seep into her own world named Yr while in a conversation with others and laugh at inappropriate times. She also had her own language named Yri which she would randomly start to being into the real world when talking with others in the hospital. She started having these troubles after having a tumor removed; she felt pain when the doctors said it was normal and in reality her pain was not normal. She always thought that she would never get better until Dr. Fried had helped her out. "Esther felt she knew Deborah better than her husband did," this is the thoughts her mother had toward Deborah directly, because throughout the whole book she is the only one who truly knows what is best for her and can truly describe her (Greenberg 8). Deborah connects to the theme because when fear is involved, it usually means Deborah is the one fearing something. The reader can see indirectly that she is a smart girl because she can tell when others are lying to her (Greenberg

numerable inhumans slain in Guts' journey,[80] and is capable of dealing extensive damage to astral and physical beings alike.
Berserker Armor
Main article: Berserker Armor
Given to him by Flora,[109] the Berserker Armor acts as the Black Swordsman's last resort against overwhelmingly powerful enemies. The armor's primary function is to allow Guts to override the physiological mechanisms that prevent the human body from using enough force to damage itself. Functionally, this enhances his already prodigious physical capabilities to an unarguably superhuman level. While utilizing the armor, Guts becomes capable of annihilating swarms of mammoth monsters and even decisively defeating apostles in their released forms.
Cannon Arm
Guts' cannon arm has saved him a number of times in his journey.
Main article: Cannon Arm
The cannon in Guts' mechanical arm is one of Rickert's inventions, given to him for his hunt on demonkind.[110] It has been of invaluable use to the swordsman, having saved him from peril many times in his journey. The cannon has a highly effective blast radius, capable of tearing into even the most sizable of monsters and apostles. When unable to use his right arm, Guts instead uses his teeth to pull the cannon's ignition cord, often fooling enemies into believing he has been outdone before blasting into them. He has also used the velocity produced by the cannon's recoil to blast into one target and perform a reversing slash into another with the Dragon Slayer, effectively eliminating two enemies in a single motion.[111][68]
Repeater Crossbow
This is another weapon Guts receives before setting out on his war against demonkind. He uses the crossbow by attaching it to his mechanical arm and filling its magazine full of bolts, releasing a volley of bolts upon turning its crank. The repeater crossbow is wielded extensively up until Guts' acquisition of the Berserker Armor, at which point its use is seemingly deferred. However, he does still make use of it against human or humanoid foes on occasion.[112]
Throwing Knives
Main article: Throwing Knife
Having been taught the basics of knife throwing by Judeau,[110] Guts has acquired remarkable accuracy and precision with them over the years. Their effectiveness is dependent upon vital points being hit, being of minimal effect against larger foes; against smaller targets, they are quite lethal. More often than not the knives are used to target the eyes of his larger targets.
Miniature Bombs
Main article: Miniature Bomb
These are a later addition to Guts' arsenal. These small, mine-shaped bombs are remarkably powerful for their size, but within a very contained radius, usually only killing targets if vital areas are hit. As such, they are typically used only to slow down or distract larger enemies. Guts has given a number of these bombs to Isidro.[113]
Creation and Conception
Guts' prototype design.
In Berserk: The Prototype, Guts originally wore an eyepatch over his right eye and bore noticeably longer sideburns. Personality-wise, the prototype Guts was more brash, cocky and whimsical in nature. Additionally, the crossbow he utilized didn't attach to his prosthetic arm and his Dragon Slayer also possessed a slightly different design.
Guts possessed long hair and a katana in place of his Dragon Slayer in one of his earliest designs. According to Miura, it took him a while to conceive Guts as the swordsman appears today, but upon coming up with the character's current overall aesthetic, he knew he had hit the nail on the head.[114]
 - The Berserk Official Guidebook states that circa the Fantasia Arc, Guts is 24 years old, 204 cm, and 115 kg. (NOTE: The Berserk Official Guidebook is highly questionable in its veracity.)
 - Guts suffers from haphephobia for much of his teenage years, having developed the phobia after being raped by Donovan. During this time, only Casca's touch manages to escape his immediate ire.[41]
 - Guts bears no reverence or respect for a "God". On the contrary, he would like nothing more than for the entity to "leave [him] the hell alone".[70]
 - Guts still carries the Count's beherit. It has not been confirmed to be his, however; both Flora[105] and Gedfring[95] have suggested that he may merely be its means of arriving to its predestined owner.
 - Guts has proven successful in gambling and won against several opponents ten times in a row at Chō-Han Bakuchi during his time in the Band of the Falcon.[115]
 - Though Femto claims Guts' existence is beneath the God Hand's notice, Slan is particularly interested in the swordsman,[79] and has expressed wanting him to become a member of their rank.[106]

Electrical Engineer / Electrician Interview question
General terms used in electrical engineering
This is the peak current that occurs when power is first applied to a unit. It is measured in peak amperes
This is the relationship of the actual power usage to the apparent power usage.
For example :
Actual Power = 100 watts of power when averaged over a period of time.
Apparent Power = RMS Current X RMS Voltage.
RMS Current = 1.28 A
RMS voltage = 120Vac
Apparent Power = 1.28 A x 120 Vac
= 153.6 VA
Power Factor = 100 watts/153.6 VA

True RMS current
The acronym RMS stands for Root Mean Square. The definition of Root Mean Square is the square root of the mean square of the variable values taken throughout one cycle.
This is a measurement of the normal running current, but instead of an average or RMS value, the peak value is given. This is the highest value that the current reaches during a given half cycle.
A typical load of the rectifier/capacitor-input type.
This is the integral of the instantaneous voltage multiplied by the instantaneous current over a half cycle.
BTU/hr stands for British Thermal Units per hour. The British Thermal Unit is equivalent to the quantity of heat necessary to raise one pound of water one degree Fahrenheit (at 39.2°F). It provides a measurement of power converted to a form that is useful for sizing heating and cooling systems.

Crabs Live All Over The World

What eats crabs?
What do crabs eat?
Crabs live all over the world. Some kinds, or species, live in salt water, others live in fresh water. Some even spend all their time on dry land.
Most crabs have many natural enemies, or predators. Birds attack smaller crabs, sometimes carrying them high into the air and then dropping them on boulders to crack their shells.
Fish with powerful, shell-crunching jaws also eat crabs.
Many kinds of mammals, from seals to raccoons, also look forward to a crab dinner.
What does a crab eat? Crabs eat small bits of plant and animal material that they find in the water and along the shoreline.

#!/usr/bin/env python # coding: utf-8 # # Distributed training on AWS # In this tutorial we will learn: # 1. How to start a cluster on AWS for use with Classy Vision; # 2. How to start a new project on the cluster; # 3. How to launch training jobs on the cluster; # # ## 1. Setup # # Make sure you have Classy Vision installed, as described in our [Getting started](_URL_ tutorial. # # For this tutorial we will also need the Classy Vision sources, you can clone it with this command (on your terminal): # In[ ]: get_ipython().system(' git clone _URL_ # In this tutorial we'll use [Ray](_URL_ to manage the AWS resources. Install Ray and all its required dependencies with: # In[ ]: get_ipython().run_line_magic('cd', './ClassyVision/examples/ray') get_ipython().system(' pip install -r requirements.txt') # You should also set up your AWS CLI and credentials as described [here](_URL_ To make sure everything is working, run on your terminal: # In[ ]: get_ipython().system(' aws ec2 describe-instances') # That should print a JSON file with all your current AWS instances (or empty if you don't have any). # ## 2. Cluster setup # We have a sample cluster configuration file stored in the Classy Vision repository, under './examples/ray/cluster_config.yml'. Let's verify that Ray can start the cluster appropriately: # In[ ]: get_ipython().system(' ray up cluster_config.yml -y') # That will take about 10 minutes, and at the end you should see a message explaining how to connect to the cluster. Assuming everything worked successfully, now tear down the cluster: # In[ ]: get_ipython().system(' ray down cluster_config.yml -y') # We will now set up an EFS volume to store our code and datasets. Follow [this tutorial](_URL_ to setup the EFS volume in your AWS account. # # When you're done with that tutorial, go back to the EFS section in the AWS console, find your filesystem there and click 'Manage file system access'. Add the 'ray-autoscaler-default' security group to the list of security groups allowed to use your EFS volume. That security group should have been created by the 'ray up' command we ran earlier. # # You should now have an identifier for your EFS volume. Open 'cluster_config.yml' in your favorite text editor and replace '{{FileSystemId}}' with your own EFS id. We are now ready to launch our cluster again: # In[ ]: get_ipython().system(' ray up cluster_config.yml') # ## 3. Create a project # # When it's done, let's attach to the head node of the cluster: # In[ ]: get_ipython().system(' ray attach cluster_config.yml') # That will give you an SSH session into the head node, which coordinates all the worker nodes in Ray. In our example configuration file, the head node is a CPU-only machine, and the workers all have GPUs. # # Both the head node and the worker nodes will have the same EFS volume mounted, so we'll use that to send code from the head to the workers. The following commands are meant to run on the head node (e.g. in the terminal prompt you got from 'ray attach'). Let's start a project in the EFS folder: # In[ ]: $ cd efs $ classy-project my_project # ## 4. Start training # # Classy Vision comes with a launcher analogous to 'torch.distributed.launch', but that launches jobs on multiple machines using Ray. To use it, simply run: # In[ ]: $ python -m classy_vision.distributed.launch_ray --nnodes=2 --use_env ~/efs/my_project/classy_train.py --config ~/efs/my_project/configs/template_config.json --distributed_backend ddp # Your first time running this you might see logs like 'Not enough GPUs available'. That's normal, and it's because the worker nodes are still being set up. The 'ray up' command should have printed a command line you can use to follow their progress. But there's no need to do anything, the launcher will wait until the workers are available and execute the command automatically. # # That's it! When that command is done it should print the folder where the checkpoints are. # # > Note that we specified the full absolute path for the config in the argument list. That's because the 'classy_train.py' command is running on a remote machine and we are relying on the fact that the EFS folder is mounted at exactly the same location on the head and worker nodes. Keep that in mind if you modify this setup. # # > Remember to tear down the cluster with 'ray down cluster_config.yml' when you're done. You will be billed as long as the machines are up, even when not using them. # ## 5. Troubleshooting # # If you hit an error during this tutorial, here are a few things that might help to debug what is going on: # # ### Make sure all workers have initialized properly # # When the 'ray up' command finishes, it prints a command line to tail the logs. It should look like: # '''bash # ray exec cluster_config.yml 'tail -n 100 -f /tmp/ray/session_*/logs/monitor*' # ''' # # Run that command and look for any errors. When the workers are done initializing, you should see '-- StandardAutoscaler: 2/2 target nodes (0 pending)' printed repeatedly on the logs. # # ### Make sure EFS volumes are mounted on all machines # # Sometimes the EFS package fails to install on workers. To verify EFS is working, get the worker node IPs with 'ray get-worker-ips cluster_config.yml', then ssh on them with: # '''bash # ssh -i ~/.ssh/ray-autoscaler_us-west-2.pem ubuntu@ # ''' # # Once in a worker machine, run 'df -h' to list all the current mounts. Verify '/home/ubuntu/efs' is on that list. If it's not, look for the EFS setup commands on the 'cluster_config.yml' file and run them yourself. That should clarify what the issue is. If you didn't setup the EFS security groups correctly (as described in step 2), the 'mount' command will hang for a few minutes then fail. # # ## 6. Conclusion # # In this tutorial we covered how to start using Classy Vision on AWS using Ray.

For more than 40 years, scientists have tried to figure out what's causing large parts of Canada, particularly the Hudson Bay region, to be "missing" gravity. In other words, gravity in the Hudson Bay area and surrounding regions is lower than it is in other parts of the world, a phenomenon first identified in the 1960s when the Earth's global gravity fields were being charted.
Two theories have been proposed to account for this anomaly. But before we go over them, it's important to first consider what creates gravity. At a basic level, gravity is proportional to mass. So when the mass of an area is somehow made smaller, gravity is made smaller. Gravity can vary on different parts of the Earth. Although we usually think of it as a ball, the Earth actually bulges at the Equator and gets flatter at the poles due to its rotation. The Earth's mass is not spread out proportionally, and it can shift position over time. So scientists proposed two theories to explain how the mass of the Hudson Bay area had decreased and contributed to the area's lower gravity.

Are you looking for a way to put a new spin on the book report assignment? Why not combine your persuasive writing unit with a reading unit and ask your students to make book trailers for their library books?
Today's Tech Tool: The Computer Lab and Animoto.com
The Goal: Students will make a persuasive book trailer to tease key themes and events of their book to an audience.
1. Sign up for _URL_ and apply for the educator license.
2. Sign up for an extra gmail account. Trust me, this is necessary!
3. Animoto will give you an access code once they approve you for an educator license. Now you can sign up for up to 50 student accounts with that access code. What I did was to create an account for each computer in our lab. Each students using that computer each class period used a particular log in associated with my original gmail address. This way when a student finished and produced a video, it emailed me to let me know I had a video ready for me to grade.
4. Students will need to go to the library to check out books they have not read before. They loving getting to choose their own library book, and I give them 2 weeks to read their books outside of class.
1. Students fill out a braintorming page summarizing their book, explaining the tone of their book, and creating a story board of their book trailer utilizing sketches of images they think they will need to search for that portray their stories.
1. Students are given 1 day to search for images and save these to their folders. I encourage students to only use copyright friendly and royalty free images. Some completely ignored this request, but I tried.
1. Show students how to log onto _URL_
2. Have students pick out a theme that matches the tone of their book.
3. Have students change their titles from "My Animoto Video" to their first and last names. This way when the video is produced, the student name appears in the subject line of the email.
4. Show students the basic features of animot and then let them get to work!
5. Ask students to take their scripts and stagger short pieces of the script between images and video clips. The text portions of their videos should be grammatically correct and complete sentences.
6. Ask students to have their neighbor proofread their trailer for grammatical errors.
1. Hold a viewing party during 1 entire class period OR watch 2-3 trailers at the beginning of each class day for the next 2 weeks.
2. Highlight certain book trailers that utilize specific persuasive techniques and use them for class discussion.
1. Students gets hands on technology practice.
2. Students combine several reading and writing skills into one project.
1. Students will finish projects at different rates.
2. There may be some troubleshooting involved! So you have to be prepared for anything.
Here is a youtube playlist I created from one of my English 2 classes book trailers.


Essay on Close Analysis; Girl in the Mirror

Close Analysis; "Girl before the Mirror"
For this essay I chose a painting by Pablo Picasso called "Girl before a Mirror", according to the research I had done, this painting is in connection to his mistress MarieTherese Walter. It displays several view, depending on who's interpreting the painting. Pablo Picasso became one of the greatest and most influential artists of the 20th century and the creator (with someone named Georges Braque) of Cubism. A painter, sculptor, printmaker, ceramicist and stage designer, Picasso was considered radical within his work. The poem that is showed in connection to this painting is called "Before

I see a beautiful pregnant woman with certain sexual aspects to herself, who is looking at her reflection in the mirror but not seeing a current view, it's like she's seeing into her future reflection. From her reflection in the mirror, she sees her body and it is aged and she seems to not be very happy about it. I really appreciate that you can't understand this painting at first glance, you really can't get the meaning of the painting right away; instead its left to us to have a look into a deeper inside the painting, even deeper into ourselves, to get the real meaning and understanding. This is what John Updike said many times during his interesting life: "Everything you can imagine is real." I think that adds to what makes Pablo Picasso more cryptic than most people realize. It adds to his art, he's something that you have to think about, just like his art.
John Updike's poem "Before the Mirror" reflects onto both the past and the present of his author concerning Pablo Picasso's "Girl before the Mirror". This poem is a based on a journey where the past and the present are both held up to a mirror in contrast, it's shone through the woman in Picasso's painting. Leaving it to the readers, to interpret the growth of time or how it may change and heighten the view of something that one may view as very dear to them.

Django App Model – Python manage.py makemigrations command
According to documentation, Migrations are Django's way of propagating changes you make to your models (adding a field, deleting a model, etc.) into your database schema. They're designed to be mostly automatic, but you'll need to know when to make migrations, when to run them, and the common problems you might run into.
makemigrations are run through the following command
Attention geek! Strengthen your foundations with the Python Programming Foundation Course and learn the basics.

Python manage.py makemigrations
If the above commands says no changes detected, You can also do it for individual apps.
For example if you have 10 apps named a, b, c, d, e, f, g, h, i, j. You can run makemigrations individually for these apps.
Python manage.py makemigrations a
Python manage.py makemigrations b
Python manage.py makemigrations c
and so on.
Django app model makemigrations
makemigrations basically generates the SQL commands for preinstalled apps (which can be viewed in installed apps in settings.py) and your newly created apps' model which you add in installed apps. It does not execute those commands in your database file. So tables are not created after makemigrations.
After applying makemigrations you can see those SQL commands with sqlmigrate which shows all the SQL commands which have been generated by makemigrations.
For example, if we make a model classThe corresponding sql command after using makemigrations will be
CREATE TABLE myapp_person ( "id" serial NOT NULL PRIMARY KEY, "first_name" varchar(30) NOT NULL, "last_name" varchar(30) NOT NULL );
and using above command, table will be created in the database when we use migrate.

Who left the fridge door open?
According to the USDA, if the door is left open for less than 4 hours, the food is generally safe to eat. However, the answer for this isn't as clear-cut as always; it will depend on the type of the food in the fridge. Milk, eggs, and food that contain either of the two are the most likely to spoil.
What happens when the fridge door is left open?
If you leave your refrigerator door open for a long time, the temperature inside your fridge will start increasing as all the cooling will be released in thin air and this will turn the food warm. The wastage and spoilage mostly depend on the type of food and time for which the door was open.
Why do people leave the fridge open?
When you open your refrigerator, the cold air that keeps your food fresh escapes and is replaced by warm air from the room. Your refrigerator's compressor has to then drive the warm air out and bring the temperature back to normal, elevating not only your monthly energy bill, but also your environmental footprint.
How long can fridge be left open?
The average time you can leave a fridge open without food spoiling is between two and four hours. The factors that affect this time are: The age of the fridge. The type of food in the fridge.
How warm can a refrigerator get before food goes bad?
Before using any foods, check your refrigerator and freezer thermometers. If the fridge is still at or below 40 °F, or the food has been above 40 °F for only 2 hours or less, it should be safe to eat.
Does leaving the fridge door open waste electricity?
The longer the door is left open, the more cool air escapes (replaced by warm room air), and the more energy your fridge wastes.
What happens if you leave the freezer door open overnight?
Leaving the freezer door open allows warm air to mix with cold air, causing moisture to form. From there, it starts to have trouble keeping the temperature cool. Ice formation around the freezer coils also inhibits cooling since the ice will prevent air circulation.
When the door of a refrigerator is kept open?
If a refrigerator's door is kept open, then room will become hot, because then refrigerator exhaust more heat into the room than earlier. In this way, temperature of the room increases and room becomes hot. No refrigerator is efficient. Thus it exhaust more heat into the room than it extract from it.
How long does a fridge take to get cold after being off?
Normally a refrigerator takes about three hours at minimum and 24 hours maximum to get at the right cold temperature and safe enough to store food inside. The proper temperature for storing your food items or groceries is that the compartments should reach 40 degrees and the freezer must be at 5 degrees.
Is keeping the fridge open bad?
The longer the fridge door opens the greater the amount of cold air falls out of the fridge and is replaced by room temperature air. However, opening the fridge too often, even if briefly, in a short period of time will drain the fridge of the cold air inside it.
Are eggs safe to eat if left out overnight?
"A cold egg left out at room temperature can sweat, facilitating the movement of bacteria into the egg and increasing the growth of bacteria. Refrigerated eggs should not be left out more than two hours." Consumers themselves should not try to wash their eggs, the USDA warns.
Do eggs have to be refrigerated?
In the United States, fresh, commercially produced eggs need to be refrigerated to minimize your risk of food poisoning. However, in many countries in Europe and around the world, it's fine to keep eggs at room temperature for a few weeks. If you're still unsure, refrigeration is the safest way to go.
What keeps the refrigerator cold?
The compressor is the "heart" of a refrigerator. The evaporator is located inside a refrigerator and is the part that makes the items in the refrigerator cold. As the refrigerant turns from a liquid into a gas through evaporation, it cools the area around it, producing the proper environment for storing food.
