Scott: When it comes to adrenal health, I know you can test for certain things. Is there something or some signs that people just can, at home, can say, can look at and find out that, you know, my adrenals might be leading to this or might be the cause of this?
Philip Weeks: I mean, what can happen, the first stage is that people are relying on stimulants to get through the day. So that's the first stage. So if it means that people can't get through the day without caffeine or without stimulants, then they're already at some point on that scale. So we should be able to have healthy, happy productive lives without using caffeine. I love coffee, but I don't drink it, because I know if I drink coffee, it's going to mean that stress hormones are going to take longer to detoxify from my body. I don't need more stress hormones for any longer than I need to. So if you're needing stimulants to get through the day, then that's a sign, really, that already your running a little bit on empty and you need to change the way that you're living your life.
Scott: As we get older, we hit that mid-afternoon, kind of crash too. Is that a sign as well? I mean I think that happens to a lot of people in their 40s where mid-afternoon, late afternoon they just want to sleep?
Weeks: I think that happens to people even younger than that, right? I think that however, that's normally a sign that something's not quite working right. So I see it either people are having issues with their blood sugar levels. So they're maybe not eating too many refined carbohydrates, they're not eating enough protein with each meal. I mean, maybe some people need a nap for 20 minutes every day. Maybe that's what they should be doing rather than taking a stimulant. So there's all kinds of ways we can promote sort of balance in our lifestyle, but if that's occurring, then often that's a sign that there's something happening with people's blood sugars, and the body's not dealing with, maybe insulin correctly and all kinds of things. These are all little signs that we should look out for that maybe we should be doing something. We get indicators. We rarely just get ill. We get kind of all these different signs on the way there which we need to listen to in order for us to prevent getting some kind of chronic illness when we get older.
Philip Weeks discusses adrenal health in this video. Find out what things you can look for that might be a signal that you could be starting to have adrenal health issues. Learn the first signs that things might not be working quite right when it comes to your adrenal glands!

Agile Portfolio Planning: An Overview
Most organizations want or need to produce more than one product at a time. These multiproduct organizations need to make economically sound choices regarding how to manage the tradeoffs between their products. The best way I've found to make economically sensible choices is to use an agile portfolio planning process that aligns well with core agile principles.
Agile portfolio planning (or portfolio management) is an activity for determining which products or projects to work on, in which order, and for how long.
Timing of Agile Portfolio Planning
The reality is that agile portfolio planning is a never-ending activity. As long as a company has products to develop or maintain, that company has a portfolio to manage.
You might recall from "Multilevel Planning in Scrum: Chapter 15" that portfolio planning is at a higher hierarchical level than individual product-level planning, or envisioning. That does not, however, mean that portfolio planning happens before product-level planning, chronologically speaking. On the contrary, the data gathered during envisioning is used in portfolio planning to determine whether or not to fund the product and how to sequence it into the portfolio backlog.
Portfolio planning isn't just for new products, though. It occurs at regularly scheduled intervals to review in-process products, those currently in development, live, or being sold.
Participants in Agile Portfolio Planning
Agile portfolio planning should include an appropriate set of internal stakeholders, who have the perspective to properly prioritize new products and make decisions regarding in-process products. It should also include the product owners of individual products, who act as champions for their products and advocates for resources. Many organizations choose to invite senior architects and technical leads to ensure that any important technical constraints are factored into decisions.
Agile Portfolio Planning Process
The image below illustrates the agile portfolio planning process.
Portfolio Planning: Inputs & Outputs
The two inputs to portfolio planning are new-product data and data about in-process products. For new products, this data includes cost, duration, value, risk, and so on—this data should be gathered as part of the product envisioning process. For in-process products, data might include intermediate customer feedback, updated cost, schedule, and scope estimates, technical debt levels, and market-related data. The in-process product data will help determine the path forward for these products.
Portfolio planning has two outputs: a portfolio backlog and a set of active products. A portfolio backlog is similar to a product backlog; however, while a product backlog contains items relevant to only one product, a portfolio backlog describes multiple products, programs, or projects for which development has been approved but not yet begun. Each portfolio backlog item in the portfolio backlog might be a product, a product increment (one release of a product), or a project. This chapter uses the word product to refer to all three of these types of portfolio backlog items.
The set of active products includes new products that have been approved and are slated for immediate development, as well as products that are currently in process and have been approved to continue.
Portfolio Planning Includes 4 Activities
Participants in portfolio planning manage the portfolio backlog and set of active products through four categories of activities:
Inflows
Outflows
In-Process Products
The agile portfolio planning activities, and their associated strategies, are shown in the image below. All of these activities and strategies are essential and designed to work together to make portfolio planning successful. See "Agile Portfolio Management: This Ain't No Cafeteria."
Agile Portfolio Planning: Scheduling Strategies
The primary goal of portfolio planning is to allocate an organization's limited resources to the various products in an economically sensible way. I recommend three strategies for determine the sequence of products:
Optimize for Lifecycle Profits
Calculate Cost of Delay
Estimate for Accuracy, Not Precision
Portfolio Planning Scheduling Strategy 1: Optimize Lifecycle Profits
Lifecycle profits are the total profit potential for a product over its lifetime. Portfolio planning, however, is concerned with optimizing the lifecycle profits of the entire portfolio of products, which can sometimes come at the expense of an individual product's profits.
Two variables that help determine lifecycle profits are cost of delay and duration, which are both covered in more detail in the next two strategies.
Portfolio Planning Scheduling Strategy 2: Calculate Cost of Delay
Before an organization can optimize for lifecycle products, it must first calculate the cost of delay. Cost of delay is the financial cost associated with delaying work on and, as such, the delivery of a product. Many organizations struggle to calculate the cost of delay, but this struggle is easily rectified.
One way to calculate cost of delay for a particular product is to run two different spreadsheet models to calculate lifecycle profitability—one without delay and one with a delay. Subtract the two bottom-line lifecycle profit numbers (one from each spreadsheet) and you will know the cost of delay for that particular product. The goal is to minimize the overall aggregate portfolio cost of delay. In other words, prioritize the portfolio backlog in a way that the total cost of delay across the items in the portfolio is minimized.
Portfolio Planning Scheduling Strategy 3: Estimate for Accuracy, Not Precision
A product's duration (level of effort) affects lifecycle profits, and thus how an organization schedules its products. When estimating the size of portfolio backlog items, organizations should look for accuracy, not precision, because they will have a very limited amount of data when these initial estimates are made.
An effective and quick way to accurately predict product size is to use the T-Shirt Size estimates discussed in "Estimation and Velocity in Scrum: Chapter 7." Each size acts as a metaphorical bin for all products that fit into the rough cost range associated with the size. For example, Extra-small products might range from $10K-$25K; Large from $125K-$350K. These measurements are accurate enough for decision making but not so precise as to be wasteful and most likely wrong.
Estimation is a complex subject and is not without controversy in the agile community (See "To Estimate or Not to Estimate: That Is the Controversy.") For more on the benefits of grouping similar products by relative size, read "Relative Size Estimating: It's Just an Exercise in Binning."
Agile Portfolio Planning: Inflow Strategies
Four inflow strategies for agile portfolio planning help guide participants in deciding when to insert items into the portfolio backlog:
Apply the Economic Filter
Balance the Arrival Rate with the Departure Rate
Quickly Embrace Emergent Opportunities
Plan for Smaller, More Frequent Releases
Portfolio Planning Inflow Strategy 1: Economic Filter
The economic filter is a blanket term for all of the decision criteria used by an organization to evaluate the economics of a proposed product in order to decide whether or not to fund it. This typically includes the output data from product-level planning: the product vision and data gathered during the envisioning process—cost, duration, value, risk, and so on. (Contrast this with the strategic filter.)
A good economic filter should make it obvious when an opportunity delivers overwhelming value relative to its cost. Those that meet this threshold should be approved; most everything else should be rejected.
Portfolio Planning Inflow Strategy 2: Balance Arrival & Departure Rates
Ideally, organizations want to achieve a steady stream of products moving into the portfolio backlog against a steady stream of products being pulled from the portfolio backlog. Too many organizations try to stick every desired product that might one day be developed into the portfolio at once. This only results in backups and waste.
A better strategy is to introduce relatively small products to the portfolio at more frequent intervals. This reduces the batch size and makes sequencing much easier.
If the portfolio backlog gets out of balance, limit the flow into the backlog by tweaking the economic filter. In other words, raise the product approval criteria so that only higher-value products are allowed to pass through.
Portfolio Planning Inflow Strategy 3: Embrace Emergent Opportunities
Agile portfolio planning should embrace emergent opportunities. An emergent opportunity is one that was previously unknown, or was deemed sufficiently unlikely to occur and therefore not something worth spending money on today. The economic value of many emergent opportunities decays rapidly, which means that companies need to be able to act swiftly to realize any economic value. Organizations that employ the other strategies discussed here will never have to wait long to consider an emergent opportunity, and can thereby take advantage of more of them.
Portfolio Planning Inflow Strategy 4: Plan for Smaller, More Frequent Releases
"Scrum Planning Principles: Chapter 14" discussed the favorable economics of smaller, more frequent releases. In essence, the lifecycle profits of a product almost always increase if the product is split into multiple, incremental releases. But there is another compelling reason to release smaller products more often: to avoid having one large product hog all of the resources, delaying the smaller products and reducing the lifecycle profits of the entire portfolio.
Agile Portfolio Planning: Outflow Strategies
Outflow strategies help an organization decide when to pull a product out of the portfolio backlog. These strategies are:
Focus on Idle Work, Not Idle Workers
Establish a WIP Limit
Wait for a Complete Team
Portfolio Planning Outflow Strategy 1: Focus on Idle Work
"Agile Principles: Chapter 3" mentions the key principle to focus on idle work, not idle workers. This principle states that idle work is far more wasteful and economically damaging than idle workers. Yet, many organizations fail to apply this principle to their agile portfolio planning. They pull products from the portfolio until all of their people are working at 100% capacity and then stop.
This approach will keep everyone busy. But it will also slow the work on every product. A better strategy is to only begin work on new products when there is a good flow of work and when it won't disrupt the flow on existing in-process products.
Portfolio Planning Outflow Strategy 2: Establish a WIP Limit
Organizations should never pull more products from the portfolio backlog than they have the capacity to complete. Doing so will cause reduced capacity on all products (resulting in each being delayed) and will cause the quality to suffer. For more on the benefits of limiting WIP, read "The Counter-Intuitive Argument for Limiting Project WIP."
Portfolio Planning Outflow Strategy 3: Wait for a Complete Team
Because the unit of capacity in Scrum is a team, organizations shouldn't start working on a product without a complete Scrum team. An incomplete Scrum team is insufficient for getting features to a done state. Once a team is available, work can begin on a product, even one that will eventually require multiple Scrum teams, as long as it makes sense in other respects to begin development.
Agile Portfolio Planning: In-Process Strategy
During agile portfolio planning, the participants should spend some time looking at existing, in-process products to determine what currently is most appropriate: To persevere, deliver, pivot, or terminate each product. It makes sense to make these decisions at regular intervals (such as the end of each sprint) or when events occur that require a reassessment of current products.
While each governance organization will have its own criteria for making these decisions, the overarching strategy to guide all decision making is marginal economics.
Portfolio Planning In-Process Strategy: Use Marginal Economics
Marginal economics is a lens to help organizations determine if spending the next chunk of money is justified by the return that investment would generate. All of the work that has been performed on the product up to the decision point is considered a "sunk cost." As counterintuitive as it might feel, sunk costs are not relevant to the determination as to whether or not the company should spend the next chunk of money on a product.
Focusing solely on the economic justification for the next investment in the product, companies can decide whether to persevere with the product, deliver it as is, pivot (try another path), or terminate it.
Marginal economics is a powerful tool for doing the right thing and for exposing foolish and wasteful behavior associated with putting too much weight into the sunk costs of a product. It should be the principal strategy when considering what to do with in-process development.
Agile Portfolio Planning: Summary
All 11 strategies introduced in this chapter reinforce one another. Companies will derive the maximum benefit by doing all of them. If for some reason, an organization needs to start with only one strategy from each category, focus on cost of delay, smaller and more frequent releases, WIP limit, and marginal economics. The next chapter will focus on envisioning (product-level planning).

Keeping Warwickshire's young people in education, employment or training
It's great news as 16 and 17-year-olds continue to thrive in Warwickshire.
A recent publication from the Department for Education (DfE) has shown that, once again, Warwickshire is one of the most successful Counties in the country for ensuring its 16 and 17 year old residents are either in education, employment or training.
The DfE requires all local authorities to collect and report information about a young person's post-16 activity on a monthly basis. Warwickshire's numbers of young people either not in education, employment or training (NEETs) are currently standing at less than both the regional (West Midlands) and national averages.
This year, Warwickshire has 1.7% of 16 and 17 year olds in a NEET situation (down from 2% in 2021) and 1.7% whose activities were not known (down from 2% in 2021). This gives a combined score of 3.4% (down from 3.8% in 2021) which compares to the West Midlands average of 5% and the England average of 4.7%.
This marks a trend in which Warwickshire has been excelling in recent years and the county is now placed amongst the highest performing areas of England, based on comparable local authority areas (size/population etc). Since 2017, Warwickshire has consistently reported significant improvement in the reduction of the numbers of young people who were NEET, including those 16 and 17 year olds whose activity is not known.
All local authorities are required to collect and report information on a young person's post-16 activity, so that the government can publish a national reports and an overall scorecard.
The DfE can then monitor those 16 and 17 year olds who are not taking part in education, employment and training, (known as NEETs). The department also introduced a new headline measure in 2016 to include those young people whose activity is not known.
Cllr Kam Kaur, Warwickshire County Council Portfolio Holder for Education, said: "Ensuring all of our young people in Warwickshire have a bright future and access to opportunities for rewarding employment is one of the county council's key priorities.
"I am delighted that the government's most recent report shows we continue to have such a low proportion of our 16 and 17 year olds who are not participating in education, employment or training.
"It shows our systematic approach, our robust tracking and our excellent partnerships with schools, colleges and training providers is proving very successful. It also shows that we have not rested on our laurels following recent successes but have built on that progress. While I am delighted with this year's performance, I hope that the trend will continue in Warwickshire over coming years.
"I would like to thank, both personally and on behalf of Warwickshire County Council, all the schools, colleges and training providers across the county who offer a fantastic range of education and training provisions that engages our young people and ensure that these figures are consistently low.
"This achievement is made all the more profound in the age of the COVID-19 pandemic when other local authority areas both in the West Midlands and England have seen their NEET figures increase as a direct result of the pandemic."

We're going to feel fear. But we have a choice to move through it, when we connect to our Spirit and voice and feel our fears, we can start to differentiate between what is scary because it's a leap of faith, different or uncomfortable and what is simply not for us. The reason why it's so important to build your connection to your heart and your Spirit through your own daily practice is that when scary situations come up, you can tell if it's just fear that stopping you or if it just isn't for you.
As humans, we can get really comfortable in the familiar, we can get stuck in patterns that feel comfortable, and the danger is we go unconscious. That's how ruts happen, doing the same thing unconsciously over and over but desiring something different. It's also the definition of crazy. Changing the familiar is scary, but when we feel the tug, underneath it is likely the truth that we're not satisfied. A strong connection to our Spirit allows us to trust ourselves and our decisions.
Life is a constant stream of decisions, and you are a powerful being by definition. You create your own experience whether you are consciously doing so or not. Each moment is a creation, so our challenge to you is to create something great. That said, when you start to see yourself as a magician, a creator in the world who has influence, it can feel overwhelming.
Recently we were working with our client Miranda who was forty-nine years old and wanting to create a romantic relationship and find her passion. As a child she had lost her father and the effect it had on her was profound. Fear kept her stuck in a pattern that no longer served any purpose, and she felt powerless against the world.
In order to get unstuck, she first needed to realize that she was powerful. She had spent her life feeling like something was missing and that she was to blame. She held herself to an impossibly high standard and bullied herself into submission. Her fears told her that she wasn't ever going to find a partner and that her life was being wasted. Yet, despite this constant barrage of negative self talk, Miranda had an urge to find herself again. She was sick of listening to the voice that told her to stay put. She wanted to explore the world and longed to travel.
We could see her intellect grasping at straws, trying to come up with a reason to stay stuck where she was. Yet, her spirit wanted adventure.
"Miranda, whatever scares you most, go there first! Life is too short to try and stay comfortable and safe. You know what the worst thing that will happen to you is?" Sabrina asked.
"I'll lose everything and make a mistake?" She replied, hoping we would validate her fears.
"NO, the worst possible thing that could happen to you is that nothing at all will happen and that you'll spend the rest of your life stuck exactly where you are now." This was the truth. Living life may be scary, but living stuck in a rut and unhappy is truly terrifying. Boredom is the slow leak in a boat that can take a person down if they're not paying attention. It doesn't happen all at once, but there comes a point where there isn't any light left in the eyes and no smile on the face. This is when fear of change wins over courage and adventure. And that's the worst fate of all!
When we listen to our inner voice the spirit moves us to make choices that lead to a fun and happy life. Without joy, life is dull. Spirit is spice and color, adventure and travel. To be inspired, by definition, means to bring the spirit into something, and living an inspired life is fun.
So where does this leave us? Well, look at where you let your fear stop you. Where do you listen to the NO of your own intellect instead of pushing yourself outside your comfort zone, into a new experience?


Preikestolen, that is a platform of 25x25 m size is a roof of the 600 m cliff towering over the dazzling Lysefjorden. In the literal translation, Lysefjorden means "the bright fjord". In the summer sun, which goes down here right before midnight, the water takes on emerald colouring. Its surface is cut through ferries and huge cruise ships, which look like miniature models. This is one of only few so dangerous and, simultaneously, so crowded places of the world. Neither the cliff nor the trail leading to it are secured with a single railing or sign warning against the risk of fall. The distance between the parking lot and the platform is less than 4 km. Going up and down takes approximately 4 hours. The trail is not too demanding.
There are two routes leading from the Norwegian Riviera to Preikestolen: one is fast, the other is scenic. Obviously, we use both to show you as many interesting places as possible on the way. This trip is worth experiencing even only because of the mountain drive with dozens of waterfalls to enjoy.
2. Using a four-wheel drive on the picturesque road to get through the mountains and the land of waterfalls, with stops in official and unofficial vista points.
3. ferry crossing through Lysefjorden.
4. reaching the parking lot which is the starting point of the trail to Preikestolen.
5. Hiking. Staying in the platform and several less-known, and often ignored by tourists, places.
7. Descending the mountain and returning to the car.
8. Return using the fast road.
Let's get carried away by the adventure with Nordtrip team! We offer cheap trips to Norway in every season. Fairylike views, most interesting tourist attractions and fascinating trips during which you will become active participants of tours around the most original state of Europe.

Die St.-Andreas-Kirche ist die evangelisch-lutherische Kirche in Bündheim, einem Ortsteil der Stadt Bad Harzburg in Niedersachsen. Die heutige, nach dem heiligen Andreas benannte Kirche wurde am Anfang des 17. Jahrhunderts erbaut.

Geschichte
In einer im Jahre 1344 ausgestellten Urkunde wird als Pfarrer in Bündheim ein Herr Isfridus genannt. Hieraus lässt sich auf eine Kirche im Ort schließen. Das Kirchspiel lag aber seit Anfang des 15. Jahrhunderts wüst. Das Kirchengerät wurde in Goslar aufbewahrt, bevor es 1407 dem Kloster Ilsenburg übergeben wurde. Das Kloster verpflichtete sich zur Rückgabe, sobald das Kirchspiel wieder besetzt sein würde. Im Jahr 1498 wird die Bündheimer Kirche als Mutterkirche der Schlewecker Filialkirche genannt. Der Plan des Dorfes Bündheim aus dem Jahr 1759 weist im Zwickel zwischen der Trift, heute Am Schlosspark, und der Silberbornstraße einen alten Kirchhof aus. Hier stand vermutlich der erste Kirchenbau des Dorfes.
Für die heutige St.-Andreas-Kirche ist als ältestes Datum das Jahr 1610 bekannt. Die Jahreszahl 1725 über dem Portal der Kirche deutet auf größere Umbauten oder Reparaturen der Bausubstanz hin.
Die Kirchengemeinde Bündheim, der die St.-Andreas-Kirche als Gotteshaus dient, ist seit 1909 wieder selbständig. Zuvor  hatten Bündheim und  Neustadt (Harzburg) eine gemeinsame  Pfarre, deren Sitz seit 1706 in Neustadt war.

Baubeschreibung
Die barocke Feldsteinkirche ist eine Saalkirche, die mehrfach erweitert worden ist. Im ersten Bauabschnitt wurde ein massives Kirchenschiff auf quadratischem Grundriss von 8,70 m Seitenlänge errichtet, dem ein Fachwerkturm mit Satteldach vorgestellt war. Mit dem Neubau des Schlosses und der damit verbundenen Verlegung des Amtssitzes im Jahre 1573 war eine Erweiterung der Kirche unumgänglich. Wie senkrechte Fugen im Mauerwerk heute noch zeigen, wurde das massive Gotteshaus in der Längsachse mehr als verdoppelt. Im Süden zeichnen sich heute noch die beiden alten, jetzt vermauerten Fenster ab. Neben dem nördlichen Eingang befand sich ein gleiches Fenster. Der zweite nördliche Eingang trägt im Scheitel die Jahreszahl 1610. Auf dem Kupferstich des  Verlagshauses Merian von 1654 hat die Kirche einen geraden Chorabschluss. Das Langhaus ist außen heute mit einem Satteldach aus Dachziegeln bedeckt, innen wird es mit einem Tonnendach überspannt. Über der östlichen, drei-achtel Apsis fallen die 3 Teile des mit Schiefer gedeckten Zeltdaches vom First bis zur Traufe ab. Im Innern bilden 3 Teile einer Apsiskalotte die Decke. Im Jahr 1765 erhielt die Kirche im Westen einen massiven Kirchturm. Statt eines einfachen Satteldaches erhielt er eine geschwungene, mit Schiefer verkleidete Haube mit Laterne, die mit einer Wetterfahne gekrönt wurde. Der obere Teil des Turms wurde nach einem durch Blitzschlag entzündeten Brand 1952 erneuert.
Dem Altar war früher eine Gruft vorgelagert, in der Amtmänner und deren Angehörige bestattet wurden. Bei der Renovierung 1893 wurde die Gruft auf Verlangen von Prinz Albrecht von Preußen beseitigt. Ferner wurden die Grabplatten an die Außenseite der Kirche verlegt. Zur Kirche gehörte früher auch ein Friedhof, bis 1810 der einzige für das Dorf. Die Grabdenkmäler der Familien Breymann und Knoblauch standen dort noch bis 1866. Sie sind bei der Erweiterung des Schlossparks verlegt worden.

Ausstattung
Die Altarwand, die als Beichtstuhl angefertigte Sakristei und die Kanzel gehören nicht zur ursprünglichen Ausstattung der Bündheimer Kirche. Sie wurden für die frühere Harzburger Kirche angefertigt, die nach der Einweihung der Lutherkirche abgerissen wurde. Der Altar wurde dann im Vaterländischen Museum Braunschweig aufbewahrt. Von dort wurde er im Zweiten Weltkrieg nach Süpplingen ausgelagert und 1951 für die Bündheimier Kirche aus lauter Einzelteilen neu zusammengesetzt. Einige Stücke wurden nachgeschnitzt. Im Wesentlichen ist die Aufstellung dieselbe wie zuvor in Harzburg. Der Altar zeigt, von der Predella ausgehend, die heilsgeschichtlichen Ereignisse zwischen Abendmahl, Kreuzigung, Auferstehung und Himmelfahrt. Die 3 Teile werden der Werkstatt des Bildschnitzers Jobst Heinrich Lessen zugeschrieben. Das Epitaph der Amtmann-Familie Hage aus dem Jahre 1643, auf welchem im Hintergrund der große Burgberg mit der Harzburg zu sehen ist, hat seinen Platz an der Nordwand im Innern.
Im Altarraum befindet sich ein Ölgemälde aus dem 17. Jahrhundert, das die Anbetung der Hirten zeigt. An der Südwand hat eine der Gemeinde gestiftete Skulptur eines Marienbildnisses ihren Platz gefunden.
Die Orgel erhielt erst 1996/97 einen Prospekt. Das Orgelwerk wurde in mehreren Abschnitten  erneuert. Es wurde mit modernster Technik verwirklicht. Die Orgel hat zwei Manuale und Pedal, eine vollelektrische Traktur und Schleifladen. Der Spieltisch ist fahrbar.

Ca King Comforters is being used in combination with increasing frequency. More and more homeowners discover that skill can be used by them in their bathroom. There are lots of different options to pick from. It really is merely of narrowing your final decision to simply one choice, a subject. Ca King Comforterss that is traditional are usually circular or oval.
Supplies that are typical contain stainlesssteel or pottery. Which elements that are common are great, for decorative that is true supplies can be chosen by you like marble or cement. The texture's grade adds the toilet and genuine crisis and is fairly stunning.
For anything only a little different you're able to pick a Ca King Comforters that is profoundly ranked. While the idea of the oval may be the normal level for your drain one end-of the surge is simply two or an inch serious. it is breathtaking to observe and a variety of enjoyment to show off to your friends although you have to have a bigger table place to allow for this type.

The world of living things pulsates and hums throughout Animal Purpose, Michelle Y. Burke's debut collection of poetry. The poems contained here speak softly but with great precision and feeling. Burke's revelations are ebullient rather than explosive: more akin to scattering flocks of birds than detonations. In a poem titled "Pacifisms," for example, Burke details a story of a voracious owl that had stolen chickens from a man's henhouse. Rather than murdering the bird, the man caught the owl, upended its tufted body, and in an unforgettable image, "held her upside down / until she went limp, wings spreading / like a crucifix." The poem builds toward the glorious compassion of its last line: "He whispered, I could have killed you, / but I didn't. Then he opened his hand." Animals, Burke's poems affirm, do not exist in order to please or feed us alone; instead, it is their bewildering autonomy that we ought to praise most. It is the blessed sovereignty of creatures like pigeons, Irish Setters, ponies, and goats that allows us to reassess our own place in the universe.
Winner of the Hollis Summers Poetry Prize, the book takes its enigmatic title from a line in the book's first poem, "Today the Horse," in which the titular beast breaks from the speaker's grip and launches a meditation on humanity and loss. Recalling a divorced couple's amicable interactions, Burke writes, "The exes moved around each other / with the quiet assurance of those / who have shared close quarters." The dance of former lovers mirrors the speaker's own as she bridles the loose horse and brings him back to a barn: "He followed, a frayed strap / of leather between us coordinating / our movements, matching, momentarily, / his animal purpose to mine." In this poem and in countless others, Burke deftly likens the casual cruelty and intermittent beauty of the natural world and its attendant animals to the heartbreak and joy of knowing and loving other people.
eat this stone. Against it, whet your heart.
Burke's Animal Purpose functions as just such a whetstone, permitting us to revel in the quiet majesty and dignity of living beings, humankind included.


Many asked me why Radio Dark Tunnel? "The music is not that dark"
Right!! The world is full of darkness and many people are surrounded by it and wandering through a dark tunnel, but as we all know music can give us the strength to escape from this darkness. Let's light up the darkness with music !!
That's what I stand for!

Q: Delete text between two strings I'm triying to delete the text between include and the next & in the text:
filter[mat]=1&filter[status]=available&include=homeCompetitor,awayCompetitor&sort=scheduled

and get a text like:
filter[mat]=1&filter[status]=available&sort=scheduled

I tried with the following codes:
function delete_all_between($string)
{
    $beginningPos = strpos($string, $beginning);
    $endPos = strpos($string, $end);
    if ($beginningPos === false || $endPos === false)
        return $string;
}

and also with:
preg_replace("/\include[^]+\&/","",$string);

But none worked.
It may also be that the text also has the following format:
filter[mat]=1&filter[status]=available&sort=scheduled&include=homeCompetitor,awayCompetitor

With which I need to delete from the word include to the end (in this case there is no &)
EDIT:
This question isn't duplicated because that answer didn't work for me!

A: The string you are dealing with is in a particular format that can be parsed by parse_str and reassembled via http_build_query.
<?php

$str = "filter[mat]=1&filter[status]=available&include=homeCompetitor,awayCompetitor&sort=scheduled";
parse_str($str, $output);
unset($output["include"]);
echo http_build_query($output);

A: Try this :
preg_replace('/(include(.*)\&)|(\&include([^&]*)$)/i', '', $string)

I tested with :

*

*filter[mat]=1&filter[status]=available&include=homeCompetitor,awayCompetitor&sort=scheduled
Result : filter[mat]=1&filter[status]=available&sort=scheduled

*

*filter[mat]=1&filter[status]=available&include=homeCompetitor,awayCompetitor
Result : filter[mat]=1&filter[status]=available

*

*filter[mat]=1&filter[status]=available&INCLUDE=homeCompetitor,awayCompetitor&sort=scheduled
Result : filter[mat]=1&filter[status]=available&sort=scheduled

It is hard to emphasize how important this teaching is and how easily we get it wrong. Here are 16 truths that follow from the unity of soul and body.
That gets it right. We are part animal and part "angel"; we are made of dust and we dream of reaching the stars. The book of Genesis expresses this by having God make us out of clay and breathe our life into us.
If the Church is right, we are noble and beautiful; if the Church is wrong, we are just highly developed autonomous pleasure receptacles.
When we create art, we express intangible ideas through matter we can touch, taste hear or see. Art uses our senses to speak to our souls.
If the Church is right about soul and body, art is a channel to a beauty that transcends us. If the Church is wrong, art is just an exercise in ingenuity in which there is less than meets the eye.
What we actually do with our bodies, often regardless of what our interior intentions are, is what matters. Our bodies are really us and we are responsible for our actions.
But if the Church is wrong, we have no ability to accuse or find guilt in one another because we have no way to judge others' intentions, or because their bodies are simply responding to forces for which they are not responsible.
The incarnation of God is possible.
The early Christological heresies were attempts to separate the divinity and humanity of Jesus Christ from each other: Was his soul God but not his body? Is he a lesser God because of his body? Did he become God at, say, his baptism? Soul and body unity resolves these heresies: He was always from the beginning who he is: Fully God and fully man.
If the Church is wrong about soul and body Jesus can't be God and we can't be redeemed. If the Church is right, our faith is not in vain.
The way church buildings look is important.
If soul and body are not one, it doesn't matter how churches look; that's just your body reacting to something. If soul and body are one, church buildings should be soaring testimonies to God's grandeur.
The way we decorate churches is important.
Without this teaching, churches should be empty or focused on geometric shapes to keep our body from distracting us from our soul. With this teaching, they should be filled with icons or statues appealing to our bodied nature.
Without this teaching, it would be useless to look to matter to convey grace.
With this teaching, we can have access to grace through ordinary tactile things transformed by a priest: water, bread, an anointing hand, the spoken word.
Without this teaching Mary was just a surrogate mother who carried the body of Jesus only.
With this teaching, she is the Mother of God.
Without this teaching, we would celebrate only feasts of mysteries of Christ's life.
With it, we can celebrate the great men and women who shared Christ's life in their lives.
Without this teaching, sexuality is just a matter of entertainment and the number or kind of partners doesn't matter.
Without this teaching, feeding, clothing and giving shelter are matters of public decorum, not acts of mercy.
With it, we aren't just managing the needs of bodies, we are loving others.
Without this teaching taking care of your body wouldn't matter; it's not as important as your soul, after all. The fact that your body is really a part of who you are means you should treat it right.
… but not too much.
Marriage is not a legal construct.
Without this teaching, marriage would just be a matter of a contract between any group of two or more people either linked either by mutual love or by mutual needs.
With it, marriage is the union of a man and a woman with the ultimate purpose of bearing and rearing children.
Without this teaching, we have a "right to choose" apart from considerations about what that choice entails.
With it, if we say we are pro-choice with regard to abortion, we are saying we are pro-abortion.
Your body parts (and your chromosomes) show who you are.
If your body and soul are not one, your gender identity is hidden from others. If they are one, then other people can tell what you are.


Whether you're embarking on a cruise, lounging in the sun with friends or planning to travel in style, this summer has a few top colors that shouldn't miss from your luggage: and tangerine is definitely in Top 3! This hot color that represents freshly squeezed sweet and sour fruits is simply perfect for the heat, especially when paired with crispy white summer dresses, neutral cotton tops or flat bohemian sandals.
Check out this week's intense hue under different shapes: straw hats, beaded bangles, comfortable wedges, statement rings or flowy dresses – and have them all, since they're definitely both chic & cheap!
Pretty! This was a really wwonderful post. Many thanks for supplying this info.

House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jerrold Nadler threatened Thursday to hold Attorney General William Barr in contempt of Congress for defying a subpoena to produce the full Mueller report and its underlying evidence. The move came a day after Barr announced he'd skip the Judiciary Committee's Thursday hearing on the special counsel's report. Meanwhile, in a press conference House Speaker Nancy Pelosi accused Barr of committing a crime by lying to Congress. We'll discuss the latest developments, as tensions between Democrats and the Justice Department escalate.

Q: PHP Mktime shows 2 March's when I dump foreach month I've been using the following function fine until the other day when the clocks went forward:
function months($month_format="F") {
$array = array();
for ($i = 1; $i <=12; $i++) {
    $array[$i]['string'] = date($month_format, mktime(0,0,0,$i));
    $array[$i]['int'] = date('m', mktime(0,0,0,$i));
}
return $array;
}

It outputs an array with:

*

*string[]

*int[]

Since the other day (like 2 days ago, when the clocks went forward in the UK), the function seems to be showing me 2 march months and 0 Februarys....
Very very strange...
I'm using rethinkdb with their eachPosTime function... not sure if this is causing it.
I tried using a different function, but still using mktime:
function months(){
 $start_month = 1;
 $end_month = 12;
 $start_year = date("Y");
 $array = array();
 for($m=$start_month; $m<=12; ++$m){

    echo $m.'
';

    $array[$m]['string'] = date('F', mktime(0,0,0,$m));
    $array[$m]['int'] = date('m', mktime(0,0,0,$m));

       if($start_month == 12 && $m==12 && $end_month < 12)
       {
           $m = 0;
           $start_year = $start_year+1;
       }
 //echo date('F Y', mktime(0, 0, 0, $m, 1, $start_year)).'
';
 if($m == $end_month) break;
}
return $array;
}

Still, I am having no luck.
Check the image here, which shows the output of the months() function:
Output of the months() function

A: This is not to do with the clocks changing, but the time of the month, and the entirely unhelpful signature of the mktime function.
When you leave out parameters from a "mktime" call, they are filled in with today's date. In your case, you specified month without day or year, so when you ask for mktime(0, 0, 0, 2); it will fill in today's day and year, and look for the 29th February 2021 - a day that doesn't exist. Since the time library "overflows" dates, this becomes the 1st March.
The solution is to pass an explicit day to "mktime", as in mktime(0,0,0,$m,1) or to use a less confusing function.

DOJ Releases Espionage Indictment of Julian Assange
By Christopher Coble, Esq. on May 23, 2019 4:03 PM
Wikileaks founder Julian Assange is now facing 17 new criminal charges, according to a superseding indictment released today. The U.S. Justice Department charged Assange with crimes under the Espionage Act, based on claims Assange worked with former intelligence analyst Chelsea Manning "in unlawfully obtaining and disclosing classified documents related to the national defense."
The new charges are in addition to a previously changed count of conspiracy to commit computer intrusion, and you can read the full indictment right here:
Acts of Espionage
The Espionage Act, prohibits conspiring to receive, obtaining, and disclosing national defense information, but has never been successfully prosecuted against a third-party recipient of government documents. The Justice Department claims Assange played a more active role in obtaining leaked information. "Assange personally and publicly promoted WikiLeaks to encourage those with access to protected information," according to the indictment, "including classified information, to provide it to WikiLeaks for public disclosure." And Manning responded to Wikileaks's requests:
Manning downloaded four nearly complete databases from departments and agencies of the United States. These databases contained approximately 90,000 Afghanistan war-related significant activity reports, 400,000 Iraq war-related significant activities reports, 800 Guantanamo Bay detainee assessment briefs, and 250,000 U.S. Department of State cables. The United States had classified many of these records up to the SECRET level pursuant to Executive Order No. 13526 or its predecessor orders. Manning nevertheless provided the documents to WikiLeaks, so that WikiLeaks could publicly disclose them on its website.
The indictment also claims Assange actively encouraged Manning to locate and provide more confidential information and worked with Manning to crack a password to gain access to Department of Defense computers. "The portion of the password hash Manning gave to Assange to crack was stored as a 'hash value' in a computer file that was accessible only by users with administrative-level privileges," The indictment reads. "Manning did not have administrative-level privileges, and used special software, namely a Linux operating system, to access the computer file and obtain the portion of the password provided to Assange."
Extradition Action
Ironically, these additional charges may make American efforts to extradite Assange from the United Kingdom (where he is currently being jailed on a failure to appear conviction) even more difficult. Under the U.S.-U.K. Extradition Treaty, an individual may not be extradited for a "political offense." While political offenses are not strictly defined, experts believe it includes offenses against the state like espionage, sedition, or treason."
Here is the current indictment:

Q: how to print a specific area of a web page in c sharp hey guys, m building a web-page in that theres a  tag which holds some documentary data, so i want to print that specific data and not the whole page i.e banner, textfeilds etc... since i know window.print() function prints the whole page, but how to print a sepicific area in a page.

A: You can use a print style sheet, which sets the display property on everything except what you want printed to none.
You can load different stylesheets for different media using the media attribute.
style.css:
#header
{
    background-color: #ccc;
    font-size: 2em;
    height: 4em;
    clear: both;
}

print.css:
#header
{
    display: none;
}

yourpage.aspx:

    <link rel="stylesheet" href="style.css" type="text/css" media="screen" />
    <link rel="stylesheet" href="print.css" type="text/css" media="print" />

My Site!

      Only print me

A: You can't print a specific area of a page, but you can hide the rest of the page when printing. Create a CSS that hides the element that you don't want to print:
@media print {
  .someelement, .otherelement, .morelement { display: none; }
}

A: This is how we can print specific part(s) of webpage.
It also includes how to implement css and javascript in the printout page.
Also for multiple part of pages, you can apply "
" tag as I implemented below.

A forced perspective is a technique that changes the perception of scale, distance and orientation for an observer in architecture, art, photography and filmmaking. For example, the scene has a larger film set, smaller props, and an actor standing closer to the camera than the others. This makes one character look larger than the actor otherwise would in real life. This technique was seen in the films from the Harry Potter and Lord of the Rings franchises.
A very popular forced perspective photograph is the 'giant' bracing the Tower of Pisa, or pushing it over. However, another way of using a forced perspective is to change the spectator's sense of orientation. For example, placing the camera on the ground and taking a picture of someone crawling as though they are climbing a cliff face. Props can also amplify this effect like the person might be wearing climbing gear or their belongings are on the top of the 'cliff'.
Video presents a much greater challenge as shadows, unexpected movement of objects, or actors making mistakes can break the illusion. Every camera movement, set design, and lighting needs to be calculated and meticulously fine tuned. One particularly difficult problem is parallax.
Look directly at an object in the distance. Point your finger at the sky and hold it one or two inches away from your nose. Look straight ahead and you should see your finger doubled. When you close your right eye, your finger will be on the right side of the object, and if you close your left eye, your finger will be on the left side of the object. Objects closer to a moving camera seems to move its apparent position more than objects further away. A way to mitigate this is rotating the camera about the no-parallax-point, the lens. This should minimise objects moving at different rates. For panning shots, the movement of the camera needs to be choreographed with parts of the set. This can be done practically or digitally.
Buildings have been designed with forced perspective techniques for centuries to look pleasing to the eye. Without it, there would be visual distortions. Straight lines could look bowed or bent and symmetrical features may look asymmetrical. The corner columns of the Parthenon, for example, are thicker than the pillars in the middle. They are spaced differently to give the perception of symmetry. Each column also bows out in the middle so that they look more robust, as a straight column, from a spectators perspective, would look more tapered and slender.
The Statue of Liberty was designed to be seen from the ground and the proportions were adjusted to be wider at the top to compensate for the visual distortion. This caused problems for the filming of the movie Ghostbusters 2, as replicas of the statue needed to undo the forced perspective scaling of the real statue to avoid looking top heavy. Disney theme parks, in contrast, have some buildings that get narrower with height, like the castles for example. Forced perspective design and smaller bricks used higher up the building makes it look taller and bigger.
A perspective-control lens, also known as a tilt-shift lens, is used to take photographs of buildings without distorting the angles. It allows the film or sensor to stay parallel to the wall of the building, minimising the tapering effect from pitching the camera up to get the whole building in frame. A tilt-shift lens can also be used to photograph an angled plane, like a sloping landscape, and keep all of the features in focus without reducing the aperture, which would dim the photograph. The lens can also be used to give a photograph a very shallow depth of field. This makes the subject look like miniatures, as though the scene was magnified using a macro lens.
Scientists have observed forced perspective techniques used in nature. Bower birds from Australia and New Guinea make an avenue from stones. Larger stones are placed near the courtyard or stage where the male performs and smaller stones are placed nearer to where a female would stand. The effect is that it makes the avenue look longer and it seems that the stronger the effect, the more successful the male will be. It is not currently known whether the birds are aware of the forced perspective effect or whether it is just trial and error.

This reminds me of the Apollo spacesuits. The suits needed to be airtight so the seamstresses needed to be careful not to leave any pins or needles in the suit as they were sewing. When they did find a pin:
Ellie Foraker, seamstress wrote:
"I showed her the pin and I said, "You see this? It just came out of that garment that you sewed. So I'm gonna show you what a pin will do" and I stuck her in the butt. And I said, "Do you think you will remember the next time you leave a straight pin in something?" She said, "Yes ma'am"."

HENRY ROLLINS: 'I Don't Know If You Could Even Have A BLACK FLAG In 2016'
Earlier in the year, Moshcam conducted an interview with Henry Rollins, former lead singer with BLACK FLAG and current spoken-word performer, actor and "punk" journalist, while he was in Sydney, Australia. You can now watch the chat below.
Asked how he thinks a band like BLACK FLAG would be received if it was formed in 2016 and not forty years earlier, Rollins said: "I don't know if there's ingredients in society in America that would birth a band like BLACK FLAG right now. With cell phones and Bandcamp sites and relative convenience, I don't know if a band like BLACK FLAG — which was birthed out of anger and police oppression and having our phones tapped and people throwing stuff at the band — I don't know if you would have gotten that level of anger and precision and hostility coming from us, 'cause we were all of that. I don't know if those ingredients would be in place to be able to mold and temper that kind of music. I think BLACK FLAG was truly a product of the late '70s [and] early '80s California, where cops were just going to gigs and just beating the daylights out of kids, and there was drugs that were killing kids — a lot of speed, a lot of heroin — and there's certainly that now, sadly. So I don't know if you could even have a BLACK FLAG in 2016."
He continued: "How would it be regarded now? Probably no one would be there throwing ashtrays at our heads. They'd be going, 'Wow! Your anger's so great. Can I get a photo with you?' I think it would be that. It's a softer… I'm aware of things… Maybe I'm just old and curmudgeonly, but all of those music scenes I see these days, they're very soft, in my opinion."
Rollins was the frontman for BLACK FLAG from 1981 to 1986. In that time he developed a worldwide reputation thanks to his wild, ferocious stage presence and his penchant for violence.
BLACK FLAG disbanded in 1986 because of the strained relationship between Rollins and the group's founder Greg Ginn.
In 1995, Henry won a Grammy in the "Best Spoken Word Or Non-Musical Album" category for the audiobook version of his non-fiction work "Get In The Van: On The Road With Black Flag".
Ginn in 2013 announced a new BLACK FLAG album and tour with onetime frontman Ron Reyes. Later the very same day, four other former members of BLACK FLAG announced the formation of FLAG — a tribute to all eras of the band, featuring founding singer and current OFF! frontman Keith Morris, bassist Chuck Dukowski, drummer Bill Stevenson, singer-turned-guitarist Dez Cadena and newly adopted guitarist Stephen Egerton, Stevenson's longtime bandmate in his main outfit, fellow SoCal punk legends the DESCENDENTS.
