accredited counsellors, psychotherapists and coaches.
From unshockable understanding, to a little help with your presentation skills… our hand-picked practitioners cover the whole spectrum of self-development. All are accredited counsellors, psychotherapists or coaches. They have a modern, human outlook and provide you with a sounding board to reach your potential - whether in relationships, your self or your work.
I am a qualified counsellor (existential-phenomenological) and in the final stage of completing a Doctorate in Counselling Psychology. I am a clinical lead at GP practices, working in a short-term goal oriented way. I also work on a long-term basis in private practice and previously at Mind and Place2Be.
I can help with anxiety, depression, stress, relationships, eating disorders, self-harm, obsessions, abuse, loss and health related issues. I take a relational approach, fostering awareness and understanding into yourself and your difficulties.
I'm a Life Coach and Counsellor, and have been working with clients for over 15 years. I completed my Diploma in Counselling & Psychotherapy in 2004 and 10 years later, studied at the College of St Mark & St John, where I qualified as a Life and Business Coach.
I believe that in order to make and maintain positive changes, we must understand the reasons why we think and behave the way we do. Self development is becoming aware of why things have gone wrong. With this new awareness we can then make new choices, which lead to changes in our life. We can all do this if we're motivated but sometimes we need some support, which is where I can help.
I am an anxiety coach, counsellor and best-selling author of the book Anxiety: Panicking about Panic – a powerful self-help guide for those who suffer from an anxiety or panic disorder.
I have a postgraduate diploma in counselling, as well as an MSc in Counselling Psychology. Before this, I studied to an ABC level 4 equivalent in counselling in order to set up my unique practice.
I personally tailor my approach so that it is best suited to the client. I am a past sufferer of generalised anxiety and panic disorder myself and have made it my life's work to help people successfully overcome the condition – just like I did.
These are all inner abilities that can be developed. You can improve your mental wellness with a proactive approach – just like going to the gym.
Therapy: How does it work?
We have two minds: one that thinks and one that feels. We see this when, for example, we say we're over our ex, as our eyes well up with tears.
The instinctive "brainstem" develops first: it regulates basic functions like breathing.
Next comes the emotional centre: it learns and remembers.
Then the thinking, rational brain develops – this part let's us use logic, plan, and have thoughts about our feelings. Culture and civilisation come from our thinking brain.
Our thinking brain and emotional brain are strongly connected. Studies of patients with damaged emotional centres show flawed decision-making despite a stable IQ – feelings are necessary for rational decisions. They need to work together harmoniously. Crucially, emotional memories and reactions can bypass the thinking brain and form without any conscious thought at all.
Emotional memories imprint the strongest. They can affect our reactions in the future. Many are formed in the first few years of life. This is when the thinking brain is not fully developed but the emotional centre is close to formed. In this way, life's earliest experiences form potent blueprints.
Our individual blueprints – from birth through all our experiences in life – are explored in therapy. Really, therapy is just talking – but using skilful techniques it uncovers our emotional memories and our patterns of thinking. In doing so we grow aware of their influence and – ultimately – can choose to take charge of them.
Which is right for me - counselling or coaching?
Extensive regulation and training (a minimum of 450 hours over three or more years) and study in human thinking and emotions, followed by training under close supervision. Training varies: Coaches must do many hours of coaching before being eligible to register with the different coaching associations. Unregulated at present.
What kind of counselling does The Circle Line offer?
Our therapists are trained in a wide range of approaches. All have a Certificate/Diploma/Degree in one (or more) NICE recommended therapy for adults. The most common are integrated, psychodynamic, person-centred, psychoanalytic and cognitive behavioural. You can read more about the different approaches here. Our questionnaire will help you find the right therapist for you.
However, we think you are the best judge of who you want to work with. We believe the precise therapy model is not something to worry about in advance, and many therapists integrate a range of approaches. Ultimately, you know best what you want, who you feel comfortable working with and who you feel will get the best from you.
Many studies have shown that it does. 28% of the British population has talked to a therapist at some point. Therapy is not new. "Talking cures" have been around for decades (even centuries, depending how you look at it). Since 1900 modern techniques have been empirically developed and therapy continues to be increasingly popular.
This is totally up to you and want you want and expect to achieve. Some people are looking to do some short term work, some are committed to a longer, deeper process. We would recommend having a series of at least 6 sessions with the same practitioner as a minimum. Ultimately, it's up to you.
Yep. We'll match you with 3 people that our matching technology suggests are suitable for you. You can change to any of them if you feel the sessions aren't working for you for whatever reason. You can also change your answers to the questions to get new suggested practitioners.
Only if you cancel your session with at least one week's notice in advance. Once you've booked your session your practitioner will commit to that session and keep their time free. Therefore we feel it fair to honour their time and commitment.

**Consultar en el catálogo de alguna tienda de informática el precio de un ordenador tipo servidor y calcular su coste de amortización a cuatro y siete años. Consultar [este artículo](http://http://www.infoautonomos.com/consultas-a-la-comunidad/988/) en Infoautónomos sobre el tema. **
_ _ _

Si compramos un servidor la ley establece que el porcentaje máximo que se puede aplicar como un gasto de amortización es de un 26% anual.

Esto quiere decir que si tu servidor valía 1000 euros, entonces ahora valdrá 740 euros, y de tal manera al año siguiente se puede deducir a otros 260 euros y así hasta que tu servidor valga cero euros.

Además, deberás tener presente la fecha de compra. Por ejemplo si compraste el servidor el 1 de abril deberás deducir un 26%, multiplicado (0,75) es decir:

    1000 euros x 26% = 260 euros anuales, como lo has tenido sólo 9 meses del año, multiplicando 260 x 0,75 = 195 euros deducibles de gasto de amortización.

Cabe indicar que siempre deberás informarte del porcentaje de amortización vigente.
### Ejercicio 2
**Usando las tablas de precios de servicios de alojamiento en Internet y de proveedores de servicios en la nube, Comparar el coste durante un año de un ordenador con un procesador estándar (escogerlo de forma que sea el mismo tipo de procesador en los dos vendedores) y con el resto de las características similares (tamaño de disco duro equivalente a transferencia de disco duro) si la infraestructura comprada se usa sólo el 1% o el 10% del tiempo.**

### Ejercicio 3
1.¿Qué tipo de virtualización usarías en cada caso? Comentar en el foro.

¿Qué tipo de virtualización es la más adecuada para: alojar varios clientes en un sólo servidor, crear un sistema eficiente de web + middleware + base de datos, un sistema de prueba de software e integración continua? Responder aquí y razonar.
Respuesta:

Para alojar varios clientes en un sólo servidor en mi opinión la opción más adecuada es una virtualización a nivel de sistema operativo que permite que anfitrión y cliente usen el mismo sistema operativo pero con invitados aislados del anfitrión y entre sí.

Para crear un sistema eficiente de web + middleware + base de datos optaría por una virtualización plena ya que visualiza todos los aspectos de un ordenador permitiéndonos tener un sistema eficiente y completo.

Para el sistema de prueba de software e integración continua no estoy muy seguro de que virtualización se aplicaría. El proceso de este sistema según he leído suele ser que cada cierto tiempo (horas) descarga las fuentes del software desde el control de versiones (por ejemplo CVS, Git, Subversion, Mercurial o Microsoft Visual SourceSafe) lo compila, ejecuta pruebas y genera informes.

Respuesta de un compañero:

Para alojar varios clientes en un servidor, utilizaría la virtualización plena o a nivel de sistema operativo, para poder aislar las cuentas de cada usuario.

Para crear un sistema eficiente de web + middleware + base de datos utilizaría la virtualización de aplicaciones para aislarlas del resto del SO.

Y para un sistema de prueba de software e integración continua utilizaría la virtualización de entornos de desarrollo para reproducir entornos de producción de la forma más fiel posible.

2.Crear un programa simple en cualquier lenguaje interpretado para Linux, empaquetarlo con CDE y probarlo en diferentes distribuciones.

### Ejercicio 12
Comentar diferentes soluciones de Software as a Service de uso habitual.

## Creando aplicaciones en la nube: Uso de PaaS
El Sofware como Servicio ó SaaS en su definición es un modelo de distribución de software mediante el cual una aplicación es ofrecida a múltiples clientes y es accesible a través de la red. Algunas de sus principales características son:

El software es accesible, manejado y comercializado vía red
El mantenimiento y actividades relacionadas con el software se realiza n desde un lugar centralizado en lugar de hacerlo en cada cliente, permitiendo a estos acceder a las aplicaciones vía la red
La aplicación es distribuida típicamente bajo el modelo de uno-a-muchos, incluyendo su arquitectura, management, precio y partnering
Generalmente se basa en un modelo de comercialización en el cual no hay un costo inicial, sino que un pago por suscripción o por utilización en el cual no se diferencia la licencia del software del alojamiento del mismo.
Un ejemplo del mismo es el servicio Cloud de Salesforce:
https://www.salesforce.com/saas/

El portal de clientes de Salesforce CRM con motor proporciona a los clientes la capacidad de realizar un seguimiento de sus propios casos, incluye una red social plug-in que permite a los usuarios unirse a la conversación acerca de su compañía en los sitios web de redes sociales , proporciona herramientas de análisis y otros servicios, como el correo electrónico, el chat , de búsqueda de Google, y el acceso a los derechos y contratos de los clientes.

Today was the last day of Spirit Week, and for seniors, that can only mean one thing: toga! My aunt made my toga for me and I love it. I felt like a Greek goddess. It's bittersweet that this is my last Spirit Week, but I know there is a lot more to look forward to this senior year.


Why are my flowers not open yet?
We do everything we possibly can to bring you the freshest flowers, this means that sometimes your flowers will arrive in bud or will not yet be in full bloom. This is to ensure you can enjoy your beautiful flowers for the longest time possible. If your flowers have arrived in bud there's no need to panic, just trim the stems and add water and the buds will start to open after a day or two. We have a detailed cut flower care guide here.
My flowers don't look like the picture! Why?
Flowers are natural products, which means variations and imperfections may occur. Due to product availability or design interpretation our floral may vary slightly. However, all our florists work diligently to ensure every order is as similar as possible to the image advertised on our site.
Why doesn't my plant look like the picture?
Just like people, plants grow at different speeds and no two plants are even completely identical. Although variations and imperfections may occur, our florists do their very best to ensure every plant we send out looks as similar as possible to the image advertised on our site.
How do I keep my cut flowers fresh for as long as possible?
Our expert florists have created a helpful guide to help you care for your cut flowers and get the most bloom for your buck. You can read ithere.
I keep killing my plants, can you help me?
Don't worry, we won't judge! We know that not everyone has green fingers, that's why our expert florists have created a guide to help you care for your plant. We also recommend getting a succulent or cactus, they are hardy plants that require little care.
Why do my flowers look small and closed?
Because we are committed to bringing you the freshest flowers with the longest lasting blooms most of our flowers are not yet in full bloom when they are delivered to you. Put your flowers in a vase and give them some sun and in a day or two they will be blooming spectacularly! If after allowing your flowers a little time to show you their beauty, you are still unhappy please contact our call centre and we will do everything we can to assist you.
Why do my Abracadabra Roses not look like the picture?
Abracadabra Roses get their name from the way they bloom. They are a variegated rose with a very small bud, however after a few days they open into generous and beautiful blooms. It is completely normal for your Abracadabra Roses to arrive looking small and sickly, they will bloom into beautiful red flowers with gold specks. Put your flowers in a vase and give them some sun and in a day or two they will be blooming spectacularly!
Why do some of my Vintage Lilac Rose's petals look brown and dead?
This is how they are supposed to look. Vintage lilac roses are called this because of the antique colour on the outer part of the flower. The outer leaves of this lovely lilac rose are sepia coloured, resembling an old photo or a letter whose edges have been burnt.
Why do my sunflowers look small and scrunched up?
Sunflowers, as their name suggests, need sunlight to bloom to their full potential. If you put your sunflowers in a vase and give them some sunlight, in a day or two they will be blooming spectacularly!
Why isn't my blue orchid blue anymore?
Because less than 10 percent of the 280,000 species of flowering plants produce blue flowers, we've had to use a little bit of science and magic to create our blue orchids. Our florists have turned a white Phalaenopsis Orchid a breath taking blue hue by infusing it with a patented dye formula. Because these orchids are created with dye at the end of the orchid's flowering cycle all subsequent flowers will be white. We promise we haven't just painted the petals blue! The dye is a carefully designed and patented formula which requires an experienced professional to perform the infusion as the dye can be harmful or deadly to the plant if not introduced correctly. This is a tedious and painstaking process that involves a lot of TLC, but it's all worth it to bring you a beautiful blue orchid.
What exactly is a preserved rose?
NetFlorist's preserved roses are the same delightful roses you've come to love, but they are put through a chemical treatment to make them last longer. These gorgeous roses are then coloured with natural dyes that ensure that they remain as vibrant as when they are first received! They are also infused with natural perfumes to make a sweet-scented gift for a loved one.
Why are there droplets appearing on the petals and stems of my preserved roses?
When preserved roses are placed in humid places, droplets of preservative and dye can form on them. There's no need to panic, though; they're still okay. Just place them in a warm and dry place overnight, and they'll be back to their original niceness!
NetFlorist's preserved roses last for a minimum of 6 months, and have an estimated life span of a year. They stay as bright and beautiful as when they were sent, but their sweet fragrance may fade slightly over time.
How do I take care of preserved roses?
Our preserved roses aren't fussy at all! But like ordinary fresh roses, they are fragile and delicate. Make sure to handle them with care, and as little as possible. Do not water or mist them; they'll be perfectly fine without water. Simply put them on display and allow them to live out their season of beauty!
What do I do if I'm unhappy with my flowers?
What are your floral T's and C's?
You can read our full range of Ts and Cs here, but we've included a few floral specific Ts and Cs here for your convenience.
Even though our florists select only the freshest flowers, please note that delivered floral products may vary slightly in appearance when compared to images on the website. This is due to the nature of the product as natural imperfections and variations do occur.
Due to stock availability, our florists reserve the right to substitute flowers, vases, products and outer wrapping with an item of similar style and equivalent (or greater) value and quality. Where possible and if the substitution is significant, we will try to contact you to inform you of any substitutions, but we are not obligated to do so. If we are unable to contact you via the contact methods provided prior to the time that we make up your order, we will assume that you accept the substitution. If you wish to discuss any substitutions we have made, please contact our customer service team.

Kaðlín Sara Ólafsdóttir is a sound artist currently studying at the Institute of Sonology
in The Hague. Mostly she works with tape and cassettes, exploring the possibilities of
low-quality sound and obsolete materials. Kaðlín makes sound installations and live
performances using modified cassette players and old cassettes, exposing the fragile
materiality of the cassette and the recorded stories that it holds.
Kaðlín will perform a piece called læti, for a hacked cassette player, live electronics and voice.
Hákon Bragason
May 9, 2019 adminRAFLOST 2019
The piece is based on the display of a three dimensional tomographic image of a four dimensional box (hypercube) onto a two dimensional screen. Visitors can view this three dimensional shape from all angles using an interactive control panel. An accompanying sound world is created by the 3D shape's viewing angle.
In his work, Hákon Bragason deals with our experience of the surroundings and how it is controlled by various sensations, equipment etc. He normally uses media such as electronic appliances, digital technology and sounds that are presented together in interactive installations.
Kurt Uenala
Kurt Uenala is a swiss electronic musician now based in Reykjavik after many years in New York City. He has composed and worked on numerous acclaimed music recordings such as Depeche Mode, Moby and The Kills during his time abroad.
He first made his name in 2003, debuting on the essential compilation The Sound Of Young New York. His song "Die Sleeping" was an early classic of dreamy, club-ready synth wave, and it caught the attention of fans and artists around the world. It eventually landed him a gig recording with Depeche Mode singer Dave Gahan, not to mention a long list of major acts such as Moby and The Kills.
The collaboration with Dave from Depeche Mode was especially fruitful—it wasn't long before Kurt began writing original songs for the band. His love for vintage synthesizers, dark electronic music, and exploring unusual chord structures was a natural fit. The more Kurt worked with Dave and Depeche Mode, the more time he spent at the Manhattan recording studio. He soon started writing his own shadowy, melancholic songs, filling them with angular beats and moody atmospheres that would become his debut album "Cryosleep".
Inspired by retro sci-fi films, electronic innovators and new wave, Kurt released his debut album under the artist name Null + Void. The album puts his extensive production experience into a wide variety of songs. Vocal performances by Black Rebel Motorcycle Club, The Big Pink, Light Asylum and Depeche Mode's Dave Gahan bring their resonant humanity into the music's austere beauty and cold dynamism. There are mighty rhythmic tracks too: the single "Asphalt Kiss" is built on Detroit electro's mechanical bounce and has a sinister glint in its eyes.
Currently, his research interests are creating music for the non-hearing population and laser installations. At the concert for Raflost, Kurt will play new compositions and test out ideas.

Halldór Eldjárn is an Icelandic electronic musician. His music is a collision of the technological and the organic electronic worlds. Synthscapes, fast rhythms and unusal sounds, together forming a vibrant atmosphere of what the future might sound like. Halldór started writing his own music with the electro-pop band Sykur which has been active since 2008, releasing two albums and traveled the world. When Halldór began studying computer science he had the idea for his solo project. Experimenting with building robotic instruments including a self-playing harp and a few drum robots that can be controlled by a computer, and to make autonomous compositions using algorithms. Halldór has collaborated with Icelandic composer Ólafur Arnalds and worked on his latest release, creating a generative program for two self playing pianos that Ólafur uses on the album, and onstage when touring. Halldór's first debut album, Poco Apollo, will be released in 2019 on Mengi Records, and is based on a series of short musical pieces composed from image data from NASA's moon landing missions (link: https://pocoapollo.hdor.is)

Excerpted from a rawlings' collection of performance scores entitled Sound of Mull, "Intime" documents in-situ performances conducted on North Atlantic foreshores from 2016 to 2019 as sites of especial geochronological interest given climate change and naming the Anthropocene. "Intime" includes performance on the shoreline facing Herøya Industripark, Norway with a view towards an INEOS shale gas ship emblazoned with "Shale Gas for Chemicals." "Intime" also includes performance of Laureen Burlat knitting plastic bags harvested from the shoreline of Loch Long. The video features UK nuclear submarine movement, counter-clockwise wind currents over the North Atlantic, footage from the Accelerator Mass Spectrometre and Radiocarbon Dating Laboratory at the Scottish Universities Environmental Research Centre, and birds circulating near Ólafsvík during a winter storm.

Margrét Iversen /// Magga is an visual artist, graduated from the Jutland Art Academy in 2013. She mostly works with sculptures with an element of sound or movement.
May 16, 2018 jessiARTISTS on RAFLOST 2018
The exhibition is a description of a visual recipe for a composition.
Ásta Fanney is a multidisciplinary artist. Among the things she does is visual art, sound poetry, performances and experimental music.
Duration is a self-contained performing object.
Una Sigtryggsdóttir is an artist based in Reykjavík. Her work breaks apart the apparent dichotomy between objective time(mechanisms such as clocks and calendars) and subjective time(perceived changes and experiences), choosing to focus on how these two methods of keeping time may intersect. In her work, flipbooks, shadows on draped fabric, and changes in Gross Domestic Product are equally valid as measures of time. These and other time-metric constructs are folded into her sculptures, videos, installations and music.

Kristin Helga Rikhardsdottir is an Icelandic visual artist, filmmaker and summertime park ranger currently living and working in Reykjavik. Using video, installations, photography and sound performances she explores the hyper-reality of everyday environment. She takes inspiration from her surroundings and works with society as an insider, a full participant and player. Her work has been featured in exhibitions in Iceland, as well as Sweden, the Czech Republic and Colombia. She holds a B.A. in Fine Arts from the Icelandic Academy of the Arts.

Árni Jónsson & Rúnar Örn Jóhönnu Marinósson
It is true! Live Action Sculpture?
Following instructions delivered by Árni Jónsson via digital communication, Rúnar Örn will create a brand new sculpture live in front of the audience using various power tools.
Árni Jónsson and Rúnar Örn Jóhönnu Marinósson graduated together from the Fine Arts department of the Iceland University of the Arts in 2016. This will be their first collaborative work.
Tumi Magnusson
Tumi Magnússon was born in Iceland in 1957. He studied art at The Icelandic College of Art and Crafts, and at AKI (Academie voor Beeldende Kunst) in the Netherlands. His first solo exhibition was in the Red House Gallery in Akureyri, Iceland, in 1981, and he has shown extensively since then. His early exhibited works included objects, photographs and 8mm films.
In the early eighties he began experimenting with drawing and painting. His motives were figurative and equally informed by the free painting style of the period and conceptual art.
Over the following decade he experimented with the boundaries of painting as a medium, and his work evolved into installations of paintings and murals. This in turn led to his use of the photograph as a medium for installational wall works, and to video/sound installations. Today he primarily works with multi-channel video and audio where the sound part plays an increasingly important role.
His installations very often have a strong site specific element, and he has maintained an adventurous and experimental approach to art.
Tumi Magnússon was a professor at the Iceland Academy of Art from 1999 to 2005, and at the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Art from 2005 to 2011. He currently lives and works in Copenhagen, Denmark, and spends his summers in Seyðisfjörður, Iceland.

Lars Graugaard / Lars from Mars
Lars Graugaard is the composer of contemporary experimental music, who doubles as electronica performer using the alias Lars from Mars. Sometimes he is not quite certain which name to use – obviously, he needs more names.
Lars started out as a instrumental performer, later also composer of score music. He still composes quite a lot of score music, but in recent years he has used the computer as his performance vehicle, arriving at an electro style that brings together rhythms, textures and interaction. Much of it is with a strong drive, and much of it has rich and sustained pads. But however different these styles are, they are closely related in his music, because the power that music has to communicate is the passion behind his music.

Harald Jordal presents a repertoire of instrumental music influenced by electroacoustic music, digital noise, alternative rock. He sometimes sings, in English and his mother tongue, Norwegian.
Coming from both the computer and the electric guitar, the sound field explored is glitchy and exciting, and tactile and harmonic. Harald Jordal is a composer from Norway. He works in close relation with performers to create pieces with elements of electronics and theatre. In his solo works, he focuses on mixing different styles of electronic music, from contemporary to popular genres, through programming and electric guitar performance.
His music has been performed in Aarhus (WP), Vilnius (WP), Graz, Helsinki, and Berlin, and regularly in Oslo. In 2017 he co-produced the bronze winner of Europe's First Student 3D Audio Production competition in Graz.
As of 2017, he organizes the concert series LISA, and is a composer and electronic performer in the international contemporary music ensemble Echtcore.
Alex McLean a.k.a. Yaxu makes live broken techno using his handmade programming language TidalCycles, a technique called "Live Coding". He co-founded Algorave, bringing live coding to dancefloors, a growing movement that has already spread to over eighty cities. He has performed widely since the year 2000 in several collaborations including Slub [http://slub.org] and CCAI [http://ccai.lurk.org], and at major festivals including Sonar Barcelona, Club Transmediale Berlin, Sonic Acts Amsterdam, Earzoom Ljubljana, NODE Frankfurt, Ars Electronica Linz, Dissonanze Rome, Vivo Mexico City, Lovebytes Sheffield, Lambdasonic Gent, Bluedot and STRP Eindhoven.
Alex's performances are in general improvised, however he has started recording music, leading to the six track Peak Cut EP on Sheffield label Computer Club. Bleep.com said of it ".. Yaxu's polyrhythmic and hyperreal strand of techno is showcased on cuts like Public Life and Cyclic showing that he is not just testing the confines of how music can be consumed but also how genres can sound. A truly forward-thinking influx of material from Yaxu and the Computer Club team". He's currently working on his first solo album Spicule, again with Computer Club.
Alex is active across the digital arts, including organising the annual Festival of Algorithmic and Festival Movement [http://algomech.com], co-founding the Algorave and TOPLAP live coding movements, and instigating the live coding environment TidalCycles [http://tidalcycles.org]. He works as post-doc researching ancient textiles as digital art for Deutsches Museum [http://penelope.hypotheses.org/], and as a trustee of Access Space Sheffield.

Sam Rees is a British artist based in Iceland, with a passion for DIY cultures. Sam creates interactive dioramas, mixing discarded, circuit bent toy robots with dense collages of found objects to form sequential narratives and absurd scenes.
He has been teaching interactive media at the Iceland University of the Arts since 2014 and was a co-founder of the Fjúk residency in the Northeast of Iceland.

Hlöðver (Hlolli) Sigurðsson, is a composer, live-coder and programmer from Reykjavik based in Berlin. He started live codeing in 2013 during his studies in the Iceland Academy of the Arts and has since then performed regularly with his own free software called Panaeolus in algoraves and festivals in Europe and Americas. Hlöðver is also active in various creative coding communities in Berlin in collaboration with other digital artists and has given talks and workshops on live-coding. Hlöðver is creator, maintainer and contributor of dozens of different music and audiovisual software, all of which can be found on github under free-software licences. The algorave performances from Hlöðver are always improvised and could be described as wild sounds morphing in texture over time with many layers of asynchronous loops, which has shown to be effective in prompting the audience to dance as well as crashing the software in colorful ways.

Model Creightona (, CrMS) — metoda rozpoznawania płodności wykorzystująca objawy oceniane przez kobietę: m.in. śluz szyjkowy, wydzielinę pochwową, intensywność krwawień miesiączkowych, występowanie brudzeń i plamień okołomiesiączkowych oraz śródcyklicznych.

Obserwacje, zwane biomarkerami, zapisuje się na karcie nadając im odpowiednie symbole i kolory, czego uczą instruktorzy CrMS podczas indywidualnych szkoleń.

Od większości metod naturalnego planowania rodziny odróżnia się tym, że nie wymaga badania szyjki macicy ani pomiaru temperatury ciała. Ocena śluzu szyjkowego upodabnia Model Creightona do metody Billingsów i według twórcy systemu Thomasa W. Hilgersa jest wystandaryzowaną wersją tej metody.

Badania nad Modelem Creightona rozpoczęły się w 1976 r.

Zastosowanie
 Model Creightona może być stosowany przy planowaniu ciąży lub odłożenia jej w czasie.
 Lekarz przeszkolony w interpretacji karty CrMS może wstępnie wnioskować o przyczynie zaburzeń zdrowotnych wpływających na płodność kobiety i wykorzystać zapisane na niej informacje w dalszej diagnostyce oraz leczeniu metodami naprotechnologii.

Kontrowersje
 Według twórców metody Billingsów Model Creightona nie jest rozwinięciem ani standaryzacją ich metody i jest ze względu na swoje założenia mniej dokładny.

Recently, the students of the Vadodara based Navrachana University organized a flash mob at the Centre Square mall in the city, and it got a pretty good response from Barodians. The subject of the flash mob was gender fluidity and it demonstrated how restrictions are imposed on people just because of their gender identities. The thought-provoking presentation then also made people think about the ways in which one can break free from these shackles. The dance performance was choreographed really well and people watched the youngsters in rapt attention.


Wake Up. Step Up. Get Real.
Find humanity in yourself and in the world.
Awaken to your potential, your truth, your purity.
Be inspired beyond your hardships and the mundane.
Discover meaning and find fulfillment.
Enact change in yourself and in the world.
Find your courage, your heart, and your inner wisdom.
Inviting you to these challenges, I share my experiences of awakening through my struggles, getting deep with my wounds, finding success through my courage, and getting real with it all. Most importantly you will learn through the revealing of my heart as I step up to courageously bare it all.
Are you ready to Wake Up, Step Up, & Get Real?
Look deeper in the reflection pool.
What is it you are intending to do?
Dig deeper, below the surface.
Reflecting on the greater depth of our motives can help us uncover the truth of our intentions. Why bother? Because our intentions will determine what we seek and bring into our lives, which will determine whether we are truly fulfilled or not.
Many of us do not establish clarity in our motives and what is driving our actions, yet, our intentions have great power and significance in all that we do.
Promoting more opportunities in your life where you can get clear on your intentions is essential to leading a constructive life. Intentions are the power of the mind to drive our emotions, our body, and to make active our greater purpose. Activating our purpose through intention means we are living a purposeful life.
When we pause long enough to become aware of our intentions, we align with a sense of our greater purpose, we afford ourselves an opportunity to set our sights and our actions accordingly, and we become responsive to what brings us joy, meaning, and fulfillment.
Establishing rituals or traditions around intentions will enhance your life, whether you reflect on or journal about your daily intentions or create more involved rituals around intentions - both have power and purpose.
Inviting you in to a practice of intention that I have been practicing as an annual ritual for several years now can illustrate a practice you can implement in your life, something radically different than resolutions or establishing goals for the year.
Towards the conclusion of the year, I reflect on the lessons I have learned, the hardship I overcame, and what I desire to either bring with me into the New Year or what I need to let go and leave behind. I grieve and celebrate during this time. Being equally inquisitive about what needs, or purpose that I intend and desire to fulfill in the upcoming year, as well as observing my challenges and where I could use support and accountability to grow, I start identifying my intentions.
From my introspection, I identify one word to be my guide for the upcoming year. This one word is my intention, my guide, and my accountability measure. It's not a sentence, a bullet-list of "shoulds" or "have-to's" that I need to accomplish, and its not a specific task.
One word that powerfully aligns with where I am at, where I have been, and where I desire to go to support my greatest purpose in the upcoming year.
The power of one word is in providing focus, while also leaving room for me to surrender and not project what I think my year should be or what I expect. It promotes a greater openness to the potential for learning experiences unknown to me. It also continues to give me a path to keep returning to. When struggling, I can return to my intention and re-align my focus. I can inquire in my struggles whether I may be presented with greater lessons pertinent to my guide word and my year intentions. It is simple and avoids provoking guilt or overwhelm that leads to procrastination, "aborting the mission" or failed "resolutions".
Where am I feeling blocked in being fulfilled & feeling purpose & meaning?
Where do I know I am struggling and continue to have the same lessons emerging without much lasting growth?
What am I longing for in the upcoming year?
Does the Guide Word or intention I am considering support my overall well-being (mind, body, spirit, & emotions)?
What word keeps popping up as I've talked about my current experiences, my struggles, or my desires to others?
From those people close to me, what words continue to be reflected back to me?
Take the time beyond one moment with this reflection. Take a few days or weeks even, to continue to reflect and allow your selected Guide Word to continue to be affirmed and reflected back to you. It's more important to find a Guide Word that has resonance, as opposed to making this just another task to complete and selecting a word with little depth.
When you set your intentions to establish a Guide Word, you will receive the affirmation and you will feel at peace with what you have picked. Already, by setting your intentions to do this ritual, you will experience the power of intention.
It reflects a genuine, heart-felt desire and need – there is resonance.
Thinking about the Guide Word feels enlivening and uplifting. It feels fulfilling just "calling it in" and saying the word out loud or in your mind.
It evokes positive feelings, not shame, guilt or overwhelm.
"Call on" the energy and intelligence of this word. Believe that it knows what it is about and how to do what it does. (I know it sounds silly to imagine a word teaching you, and you might just enact some trust as I have been practicing and teaching this for years and experiencing the power of doing so.) Write about it, read about it, and talk to others about their experiences of it or what it means to them. Get curious.
Let your Guide Word teach you. Do this in meditation, in self-reflection, and in your daily life. Explore and be intentional about looking for the teachings from your Guide Word as the lessons unfold in your life. Trust this. Look for and embrace the lessons and the gifts that will always be readily accessible in your conversations, your interactions, or life dilemmas. The gifts and lessons will emerge, sometimes in synchronicities, sometimes in subtle ways, sometimes in experiences that feel just simply profound.
Upon selecting a Guide Word, I have had people gift me objects with that word on it who were not aware of my ritual or intentions. I have had numerous conversations where others bring up the word or are comforting me by using that word – again with them being clueless about this practice. The word and its lessons show up in power ways in art, media, etc. Every year these words have supported me through my greatest struggles, celebrated with me in my greatest achievements, and have assisted me in delivering their wisdom to the world. They carry power and I have observed their power with clients as well. Now's the time to pass on the tradition to you.
In doing so, you are already deepening your experience of Presence. You are empowering yourself in your ability to be responsive by simply pausing and noticing what matters.
May your Guide Word teach you, humble you, and bless you.
Wake Up to what matters.
Be intentional as you Step Up.
Get Real with yourself in the process.

I do not know whether to consider it as a finished and complete project, but I certainly managed to reach a definite and desired state. I published on the Google Play Store Hazardous Materials, it is possible that I will make some updates or fixes, but I wanted to share and leave the link if you want to try the game.
For now it is only for Android devices.
Now I will focus on the follow-up and on how to improve and implement new functionalities, taking advantage of what I learned in this first game, with the help of Jonathan's courses on Udemy and the suggestions of this community.
Thanks to those who want to try it, leave me your comments and suggestions.
Before I nit pick (Yea its coming!), I wanted to stop just to simply say how awesome it is that you've completed this project and put it out there. I downloaded it and a big stupid smile on my face that this came from a game jam submission. Totally awesome, and I still love the music and sound effects. Feel good about this cause its a stepping stone in the best possible direction - up wards! (unless you're trying to sky dive).
This brings me to the next part, where I get to be picky. If your intention is to leave this project alone and simply call it good then by all means use this advice for your next project instead of updating this one, however I feel if applied correctly you could pop some unity ads in this one and do fairly well. Seriously consider pursuing this game further. Take all of this with a grain of salt as each mind is different! I hope me picking things a part doesnt offend you in anyway, so here goes my first public attempt at helping with this type of thing lmao.
The article I wrote about a rewarding player experience is absolutely crucial to games like this. ( A Rewarding Player Experience ). The problem you are going to run into is replayability. Its a fun little gimmick game for about five minutes, and then people will simply put it down. The basic functions of casual play is all there, and the way the game works doesn't need to change - but the experience does in order for this game to really do well.
When I fill the jar for example, all it does is add a bar to the jar im holding. This is the same process for however long I choose to play, it never gets more exciting than filling the jar up and turning it in for a life or speed boost. When I get a life or speed boost, it shows up as plain text in the top right of my screen and stays there until I choose to use it. Sometimes I even forget its there. These are all problems with replay-ability, and keep the game at the same pace forever.
Here are the changes I would personally make in a project like this.
1) When the fluids make impact with the jar, particles pop out of the drop to simulate the fluid free falling into the jar.
2) The fluids can pulsate to simulate radioactive fluids. The lines as you fill up the jar will share this pulse.
covering more of the screen as you lose lives. This creates an intensity to the player and adds difficulty. The more lives they lose the more intense the red aura gets and the closer it gets to the center of the screen. This will add urgency to preventing mistakes and should force your players to pay more attention by default. Toss in a camera shake as if it fell so far it had a heavy impact on the ground level!
4) There doesnt seem to be any difficulty modifier. The longer I play the harder it should get. The harder it gets the more material types that appear that provide more points when turned in, also adding new colors to the jar lines as they hit. This is the skinners box method, where essentially we have the thought that the more we play this game, the more materials can be spawned, making us await further rewards. Speed up the music as the game speeds up to add intensity.
5) I would remove the point system for reward all together, and instead add them to the queue for what might drop from the materials. This makes obtaining powerups more rare, and you can increase the power ups available as time goes on. This creates value to them instead of letting them sit, which can be beneficial to the player, but you want them on their toes to stay focused. You want the potential loss, so they have to play again to get farther.
6) Turning in your points should be more rewarding. Something as simple as adding pulsating particles that spawn from the storage unity and shoot up to make impact with the score UI and then the points are added, makes a visually appealing score method.
7) when there is one life left, the mentioned red aura would pulsate and the last remaining heart would flash slowly. More urgency!
I'm sure there is some other stuff, but this is primarily the things I noticed that I felt could make this a top ten game. Go take a look at the app store when you have time and just download any top arcade game or casual title. Take notice of not the simple functions, but how the functions create a rewarding experience. Really take time to think about how a simple functions looks on screen.
Are you just collecting red fluid and turning them in? Or are you collecting a terrible pulsating radioactive mucus, trying to save the people below you before they get exposed to a deadly virus? The difference will always be in the visual presentation of the most simple actions. Even just pressing a menu button can shoot lights and make explosion noises and create a beautiful screen transition that just feels good - versus, press a button and the next screen loads in.
Hope this helps in some way, if not for this project than for the future. Good luck my dude and keep it up. Its great seeing your progress - and while we dont do this type of detail digging for game jam entries, I'm happy to give feedback like this to anyone who is seriously considering being on the app store.
First of all, let me thank you with all the esteem and happiness I have for this community and for you! I am very happy and fervent to be able to have any kind of suggestion, criticism and reporting regarding the game and its aspects. Thank you.
1) You're absolutely right and believe me, one of the things I would like to put is exactly what you described, the impact effect of the drops !! We are in tune!
3) and 4) These were planned for the sequel, I would like to redo the game by implementing everything. I could try to sketch the code and features already published in this and then bring it all (better) in the sequel.
6) Great idea, I already wanted to give feedback of some kind when recovering the powerup both to give feedback to the player and to report effectively that it was activated. I even thought of making the speed of temporary movement, with a trail of the character when he shoots from one position to another.
7) Yes, I will definitely implement this !! definitely has an urgent impact for the player !!
Thanks thanks thanks!! I do not know how to say it but believe me I really appreciate every criticism and suggestion. It makes me open, attentive and stimulates me to do better and learn more.
Glad you got something out of it! I look forward to your future releases.
Hello. I just wanted to tell you that I made a small update at the game.
I tryed to put into practice the suggestions received and i have add some extras that would make the gameplay more interesting.
I adjusted a bit 'of code, there is obviously no feedback in the game but I'm glad, however, have fixed and improved the source code.
I added a screen shake and a visual representation of the loss of energy and life in the game.
If you miss a droplet, a reddish mist rises on screen moving around.
At the last life remained, the heart pulsates and makes the state of urgency visible.
When a bonus is available, the text flashes and calls attention.
I put a particle effect an the collection of droplets (not too obvious to stay in a "retro" and minimalistic style).
Fixed icons for the game because some devices shows the default Unity icon instead of mine.
I will not add anything else for now. I would like to go further and take advantage of what I have learned and experienced with this project.
I could see how googleplay works and how to update an apk, also is fun look at the statistics.
It's time to move on to something else, and I have some projects in my mind.
Thanks again for everything!! At the next game !!
Edited once, last by Nuke: fix some errors ( Nov 3rd 2018 ).
WELL DONE, there is a unbelievable difference with those little additions. I look forward to the next game!
Downloaded, played, enjoyed it! I got to about 3k pts before someone called and #!#@ me up! I was so mad haha. Great game man. I love it.
I have to think how to get autopause in case of call in the device!!
Played your game and took some video (I'll upload later and link ya). Got to as round 4000 points before having to get back to work.
This would work excellent as one of those old school handheld pocket games. Plays almost exactly like one, which is cool.
Definitely had fun finding a good pattern to collect the waste and seeing how the power ups work.
Good base game, has a lot of potential and different ways you could build on it. Thank you for sharing.
Hello and thank you for playing !!
The game is in fact a tribute to the old "game & watch" pocket games. he would like to remember the feeling of arcade cabinets.
The bonus system, especially the doubling of the score, should give the game a certain strategy and planning but I'm not so certain of being successful.
I'm working with a friend to the sequel of the game. If you want you can follow the devblog I'm keeping here on GameDevHq.
For more info, if you like, find my friend and mine instagram profiles here and here.
Hello and thank you again !!

Surreal advertising is thin on the ground these days, so it's good to see US email marketing brand MailChimp go all out on the stoned weirdness in this new set of ads from Droga5.
The strange world of these ads has something of TBWA's classic Skittles ads about it, though at least with those spots you were blasted with branding at the end of the scenes to let you know what you were dealing with.
Here, viewers are simply given a website to follow up on and MailChimp aren't mentioned at all. It's a risky tactic to be so oblique these days, but smart audiences also like a bit of intrigue, and these films are so beautifully shot (by directing duo The Sacred Egg) and odd, they are likely to get people talking, and investigating.

Q: Remember state on refreshing - jQuery with cookie I am trying to develop a script that would remember the state after page refresh.
Here is what I've done so far.
jQuery:
      $(window).ready(function() {
var voteId = $('.gallery-item a');
$(voteId).click(function() {
$(this).text('Thank you!');
$(this).css('background-color', 'green');
});
});

I have tried this, but didn't have luck with it:
jQuery:
var cookies = document.cookie.split(";");
    for(var i=0; i < cookies.length; i++) {
    var equals = cookies[i].indexOf("=");
    var name = equals > -1 ? cookies[i].substr(0, equals) : cookies[i];
    document.cookie = name + "=;expires=Thu, 01 Jan 1970 00:00:00 GMT";
    }

A: Set a Cookie
The parameters of the function below are the name of the cookie (cname), the value of the cookie (cvalue), and the number of days until the cookie should expire (exdays).
The function sets a cookie by adding together the cookiename, the cookie value, and the expires string.
function setCookie(cname, cvalue, exdays) {
    var d = new Date();
    d.setTime(d.getTime() + (exdays*24*60*60*1000));
    var expires = "expires="+d.toUTCString();
    document.cookie = cname + "=" + cvalue + "; " + expires;
}

Get a Cookie
Take the cookiename as parameter (cname).
Create a variable (name) with the text to search for (cname + "=").
Split document.cookie on semicolons into an array called ca (ca = document.cookie.split(';')).
Loop through the ca array (i=0;i

If the cookie is found (c.indexOf(name) == 0), return the value of the cookie (c.substring(name.length,c.length).
If the cookie is not found, return "".
function getCookie(cname) {
    var name = cname + "=";
    var ca = document.cookie.split(';');
    for(var i=0; i<ca.length; i++) {
        var c = ca[i];
        while (c.charAt(0)==' ') c = c.substring(1);
        if (c.indexOf(name) == 0) return c.substring(name.length,c.length);
    }
    return "";
}

Set and Get
setCookie("message", "Thank You", 365);
setCookie("color", "#0F0", 365);

var message=getCookie("message");
var color=getCookie("color");

This will set two cookies message and color with an exp of 1 Year.

Details and decorations from a girly Galentine's Day Fête I hosted with some of my favorite San Francisco bloggers and Anthropologie!
February holds one of my very favorite holidays. A holiday that celebrates relationships. And the color pink. And dessert.
Wait, did you think I was talking about Valentine's day?
Nope. I'm all about celebrating the amazing ladies in my life on Galentine's Day. And seriously, what better excuse is there to host a brunch?
To celebrate, I invited some of my favorite San Francisco bloggers over for a Galentine's Day brunch. You can see it all today on the Anthropologie blog!
To keep things easy, I created a yogurt bar with fresh local fruit from my favorite online farmer's market, Good Eggs. Try making your own yogurt to add an easy homemade touch. The girls were all raving about it – it was definitely a highlight and I still don't think they believe how easy it is!
Ampersand absolutely nailed my vision for the florals – muted and pink with lots of flowy, natural details. They made my heart go pitter patter!
Sugared rose petals take just minutes to make and are perfect for decorating Galentine's Day desserts. Get the full DIY and more dessert inspiration here.
My friend Katie from Lovely Letters did all the invites and place cards for our brunch. Isn't she amazing!? To give it that extra something special, I added gold leaf details to the invites and the envelopes. DIY coming soon! This would be such an amazing personal touch if you are looking for a unique wedding invitation suite.
I kept the drink situation easy by serving Da Luca prosecco with a bit of fresh-squeezed grapefruit juice in sun-kissed flutes. No recipe necessary, just mix together depending on your taste.
What's a fête without amazing party guests!? You can find the blogs and Instagram accounts for all of the girls at the end of the post. We seriously giggled and gossiped for hours!
For an easy Valentines-themed photobooth, I bent craft wire into heart shapes and strung them with colored yarn. You can find the full DIY and downloadable emoji photobooth props on here.
I hope this inspired you to host your own Galentine's day party! You can shop all of my Galentine's day picks below. Don't forget to check out the Anthropologie blog for more pictures and tips!
This is just too pretty for words! Those sugared rose petals take those cupcakes to the next level. Such an inspiration!
You're too kind! Thanks lady!

Home/Weather/AccuWeather's 2023 Christmas forecast in New York
AccuWeather's 2023 Christmas forecast in New York
NoahDecember 11, 2022
Warm clothing is a need in New York in January since the temperature ranges from -4°C to 1°C. Between three and eight days of rain are expected in New York in January. Bring your umbrella with you to avoid getting trapped in inclement weather.
In January, New York will have a good amount of snowy days. Building snowmen, sipping hot chocolate, and engaging in snowball fights are all ideal winter activities. Just keep in mind to put on a thick scarf and some gloves.
There may be snow in New York during the holiday. According to Accuweather, residents of the Buffalo area, buried under over 80 inches of lake-effect snow last month, are likely to experience a white Christmas despite mild temperatures for the last half of the month. There will need to be more time for the snow to melt before then.
US winter prediction for 2022–2023 from AccuWeather
Many fantastical predicting methods have been employed throughout the years. It is to get a peek at what the weather would be like in the following winter. It is expected that the number of acorns will fall to the business of squirrel tails. One of its most anticipated seasonal outlooks, the winter forecast, is created by AccuWeather using a slightly different methodology:
A group of skilled long-range forecasters utilizes
computer models
To determine if it will snow this winter, whether and when the polar vortex will unleash Arctic air across North America, and whether it will be a good season for skiers.
AccuWeather winter predictions of New York
The average snowfall at Central Park Climate Station in New York City is 29.8 inches, but only slightly under 18 inches fell there last winter. According to AccuWeather, snowfall totals might surpass that amount, with six to nine days of precipitation leading to 18 to 23 inches of accumulation for the winter.
La Nia's significant unpredictability, particularly after three seasons in a row where it had an impact, presents forecasters with a challenging problem. According to a press release from AccuWeather, "These third-year La Nias are exceedingly challenging." [1]
Predictions of white Christmas
AccuWeather's predicted annual white Christmas weather, with experts noting that while the odds aren't high for much of the country, a few places may be lucky just in time for the holiday.
Senior Meteorologist Paul Pastelok and the AccuWeather long-range forecasting team have closely monitored significant weather trends that might favor snow in time for Christmas across the United States.
What is La Nina?
According to Pastelok, La Nia, which will be active for the third consecutive winter, is one of the most important weather phenomena. This trend, caused by cooler-than-average seas in the central and eastern Pacific near the equator, frequently pushes a rugged path over the northern tier of the United States while leaving the country's southern regions drier than usual.
Pastelok claims that his Christmas season would turn out differently than the previous two years despite being the third year in a row with La Nia. The tendency may make a white Christmas, defined as at least an inch of snowfall on Christmas. Less snow is also possible.
Northwest and Rockies will receive fresh snowfall.
Accuweather anticipates a replenishing snowfall in the middle of the month over the Northwest and Rockies. In higher elevations, snow will continue accumulating in the usual places, and there is a high chance of a white Christmas (above 90%). However, the chances are higher than average in Salt Lake City and Denver.
Temperatures may plunge across western Canada and the Northwest in December and January due to a cold weather trend, especially in lower-elevation locations. Major Northwest cities like Seattle and Portland, Oregon, may receive more snow.
What do other organizations' forecasts say?
Most meteorologists who have provided winter outlooks so far concur that the southern United States will see drier and warmer-than-normal circumstances, with the northern tier, Midwest, and Ohio Valley having the highest chances of experiencing colder and stormier-than-normal conditions.
NOAA's latest forecast
November, December, and January are the first three months when winterlike conditions develop in earnest; excessive cold is not anticipated anywhere in the nation during these months. Temperatures will be above average throughout the country, from the East Coast southward into the Sun Belt and the Mountain West. Arizona and New Mexico have the highest chances of experiencing unusual warmth.
With the highest likelihood of warmer weather around the Mid-Atlantic and Southeast coastlines, above-normal temperatures may persist from February through April along the East Coast, Southeast, and Southwest. The northern contiguous United States, which stretches from northern Michigan to the north of Washington state, is expected to have below-average temperatures.
Farmers' Almanac forecast
The Farmers' Almanac winter snow forecast predicts an early start to winter and a chilly, rainy December. The eastern part of the country forecasts to remain stormy, and the almanac predicts snowy weather in the Northeast. The Farmers' Almanac predicts that there will be more snow than rain in the Interstate 95 corridor, which frequently marks the rain-snow border for large storms.
WeatherBell's winter forecast
The Ohio Valley and Upper Midwest are likely to see the coldest temperatures, which may be 1 to 3 degrees below average. In the West, temperatures may be higher; according to WeatherBell, Southwest temperatures will be 1 to 3 degrees above average. Additionally, less snowfall than usual is forecast for that nation's region. A few well-known ski resorts in California are in that prediction.
What does the astronomical calendar say about winter weather in New York and other US states?
The broad forecast from AccuWeather is the same for both the Philadelphia and New York City regions. Typically, New York City receives 29.8 inches of snow annually, but just 17.9 inches did so last winter. This winter, AccuWeather predicts 18 to 23 inches in New York City.
In contrast to the city's typical annual snowfall of 23.1 inches, Philadelphia only received 12.9 inches last winter. This winter, 14 to 20 inches of snow are expected, according to AccuWeather. According to the meteorological calendar, winter begins on December 1 and lasts until the end of February since these months often see the lowest temperatures and the most significant snowfall.
The following winter season begins on December 21, 2022, and finishes on March 20, 2023, according to the astronomical calendar, which is based on Earth's rotation and sun angle. Although AccuWeather predicts a moderate start to the following winter, it also warns that "waves of cold air will plunge down from Canada" in November and December, causing "a few winter previews" for residents of the Northeast and Midwest.
Weather Prediction in coming months
The average temperature for the month is going to be low and expected. The temperature will vary from -8 °C to 8 °C before January 2. The expected weather in new York at the beginning of the month was warm and rainy. The temperature will occasionally rise to 8 °C, which is still lower than January 2021–2022. Precipitation seems sparse during the middle of the season; the majority will fall between January 6 and January 22.
The typical February temperature in 2023 is 0 °C. The month's hottest day, with a high of 9 °C, is on February 3, while its coldest day, with an average daily increase of -9 °C, falls on February 28. The prognosis for February 2023 is less favorable than it was for the same month during the 2021–2022 season.
Winter 2022-2023 is likely to be cold and sunny. Days will gradually lengthen, as is customary for the season. Winter 2022-2023 will be drier than winter 2021-2022. In general, the season does not call for a lot of precipitation.
This winter's average temperature is 0 °C, which is lower than winter 2021-2022. Winter 2022-2023 will see 40 days with temperatures exceeding two °C and 29 days below 0 °C.
The average length of daylight will rise by up to 10 hours. The longest day, which will last 11 hours and 12 minutes, will occur on February 28, 2023. The shortest will take place on December 22, 2022, and will last 9 hours and 15 minutes.
Q.1: Is December a suitable month to travel to New York?
You'll discover that December is one of the most enjoyable and exciting seasons to visit New York City if you're thinking about taking a vacation there.
Q.2: How much snow can New York City anticipate this winter?
The Ocean Weather Services forecasts that New York City's 2022–23 winter snowfall will most likely range from 22 to 27 inches, which is between the city's typical annual snowfall of roughly 25 inches.
Q.3: What will the Christmastime weather be like in New York?
Daytime highs are around 43F (6C), and overnight lows are typically 32F. (0C).
Q.4: Will there be a snowstorm in New York City?
At this moment, there is no severe weather affecting NYC. Consult the National Weather Service for forecast updates.

How This Student Grew Eight Grade Levels in English in Three Years
April 23, 2019 | 0
This piece is part of Faces of Growth, a series of profiles that underscore the importance of looking at student performance and school effectiveness through the lens of growth, and not just absolute achievement. This series provides an opportunity to celebrate our students' hard work and our educators' tireless dedication.
"Before coming here I couldn't wait until the school day was over. Before coming here I would catch up on homework in my other classes and not pay attention," recalled Klein Sanchez, a senior at Oscar De La Hoya Ánimo Charter High School (ODLH). "I just didn't care, but being here it was like, 'I have to get my grades up, I have to graduate, and get accepted into college.'" In 2015, when Sanchez was in eighth grade at a nearby middle school, he scored a Level 1 on the state's English assessment, demonstrating a third grade proficiency in the subject. Just three years later, in his junior year at ODLH, Sanchez displayed exceptional growth: He met proficiency in English on the state assessment, having caught up to grade level -- growing eight grade levels in his first three years at ODLH!
Sanchez acknowledges the change didn't happen overnight: " I liked to talk a lot in class and make jokes. I would get in trouble a lot, but I grew and saw that school was important." He recalls a conversation he had with his mom when he was close to failing a class; he realized if he continued on this path, he wouldn't graduate high school or make it to college. At first it was a struggle, as Sanchez didn't particularly enjoy English or reading, but he knew he had to apply himself and develop discipline if he wanted to be a better student. "With English, you see these long essays and you get scared and you think 'I have to read all of this,'" admitted Sanchez. He began seeking help during office hours and working with his teachers to implement literacy techniques that would help feel less overwhelmed by the text.
One technique that has been particularly helpful for Sanchez is annotation, using the catch method. Now, when he's reading, Sanchez will circle words that are challenging, acknowledge any confusion by asking questions, talk with the text using comments, predictions, or observations, capture the main idea, and highlight important details. Though at times Sanchez still gets overwhelmed by texts in his upper-level courses, he knows not to let it deter him. "Now I just take it section by section and try to break it down, and not make things bigger than they are," said Sanchez.
As he progressed, his attitude towards school changed; and when he struggled, instead of giving up, he would seek help. He was also studying with a newfound rigor and positively participating in class. He attributes part of his transformation to the supportive teachers at ODLH, who saw his potential and encouraged him to achieve more. "I became more disciplined. I didn't like reading, but I made myself really read the books and I tried my best to understand the content. Every time I took a test, I concentrated more--no distractions, no day dreaming. I needed to pass," chuckled Sanchez.
ODLH has served the East Los Angeles and Boyle Heights communities since 2003. The school has found success in fostering student growth, outperforming most neighboring schools. Its reputation in the community is why Sanchez's mom sought ODLH out: "My cousins attended ODLH, and my mom liked that it was a small school and that the students could get extra help if they needed it, so we entered the lottery and I got in," said Sanchez.
In a few months, Sanchez will graduate from OLDH. In the fall, he hopes to study mechanical engineering at California State University, Los Angeles. Though Sanchez is excited about graduation, he can't help but feel somewhat sad knowing his time at ODLH is almost over. "These years have gone by so fast, and now I just want each day to go slower," said Sanchez. "It's not the biggest school, but here people really see you. They recognize you and honestly care about how you're doing. I know everyone here. ODLH feels like home." As he enters the next phase of his journey, he will cherish the memories he made and the mentality he developed at ODLH. He will graduate knowing he has the capacity to achieve whatever he puts his mind to.
