Satellites do much more than to offer us astonishing photographs of space. Some of them, like the European Space Agency's Sentinel-1 satellites, save lives. This ESA's mission monitors the Earth day and night: it has witnessed the birth of a gigantic iceberg, helped locating the seismic fault in a Sea earthquake; or monitored glaciers in the Alps to help us understand how landslides work and helping us fight against disasters. It also provides access to remote areas, where we can't place sensors. And the microwave radar imaging technology on board of Sentinel-1 allows scientists to have a peek of the ground through the clouds, even on the darkest nights.
The Sentinel-1 images not only allow us to have eyes in disasters that occur in remote zones, it gathers a global view of the state of the disaster with a great amount of detail. In its higher definition mode, it provides a 5 meter resolution image. The mission is composed by two satellites, which guarantees a great response speed: at European latitudes it revisits the same area about every three days. This is why this never sleeping sentry is so interesting for our project and why we needed the efforts of our partners from the Remote Sensing Research group of TU Wien. Thanks to them we will be able to incorporate the Sentinel-1 radar images into our system.
All this activity generates up to 3 Terabytes every 24 hours. This is the equivalent of creating 40 high definition movies… each day! Processing all this information can't be done in a regular laptop. It requires the use of a supercomputer. The Remote Sensing Research group uses a supercomputer—the Vienna Scientific Cluster—to analyse the Sentinel-1 data. Thanks to the computational power of this supercomputer, they are able to compare the latest Sentinel-1 images to all past data, that form a picture of a "normal looking" Earth. This allows them to create change maps that depict flooding, deforestation and other such drastic events.
But surprisingly, this daily amount of new information is not the one thing that poses the heaviest toll for computers. Establishing this "normal looking" Earth picture isn't as easy as it sounds. Just think on the view you have through a window in your home: it changes a lot from spring through winter and from one year to another. What constitutes normal and what is out of line? To account for changes in the terrain, and the different looks that the Earth offers throughout the year, our colleagues at TU Wien are using the data already obtained by the Sentinel-1 in the past 3 years and the data obtained by the ENVISAT satellite, a past mission that went on between 2002 and 2012. Together, they constitute 1000 TB of images, more than 13000 high resolution movies. That's certainly a lot of Netflix to catch up, so no wonder that a supercomputer is needed for analysing this huge database automatically.
Only a decade ago, this kind of technology seemed like science fiction. Today, we are integrating satellites, supercomputers and many other cyber-technologies to fight against disasters.
When Hurricane Katrina hit the American coast in 2005 Facebook was a newcomer to a still-to-be-developed world wide web, there was no Twitter to have news updates and less than 70% of citizens owned a mobile phone. Today, with more portable devices than citizens and an ever-constant interaction through social networks, the way we obtain and share information during crisis has drastically improved. This is proving very helpful in recent crisis like the 2013 super typhoon Haiyan in the Philippines where Twitter was the single greatest information source for response and recovery efforts.
Social media is becoming essential for authorities to access vital information provided by citizens that would not be available otherwise, which improves the prevention and response to critical events. However, social network information is largely unstructured arising from the fact that everyone can be an information source. From eyewitnesses to emergency responders or NGOs, that can provide information from the ground, to mass media that amplifies the message, or even outsiders showing sympathy and emotional support. In this context, there are many factors that affect how the information flows, such as the use of hashtags which is very diverse and can sometimes hamper the identification of relevant data. Thus, it is necessary to analyse social media to place the pieces of the puzzle together.
The extraction and analysis of social media information is an important part within the I-REACT project. This information obtained from citizens will complement data coming from earth observations, UAVs, or emergency responders, among others, to provide real time data on floods, wildfires, earthquakes and other natural disasters. For this, Natural Language Processing (NLP) technologies developed by the I-REACT partner CELI, are being used to analyse big data streams from social media.
To do this, great amounts of information are initially collected from social networks by using searches on generic keywords such as "earthquake" or "flood". Although this information will be unstructured, all or most of the emergency-related material will be gathered this way. Since this data can be compared to that of past events and to "regular" behaviours on social networks, a vital information will be generated: detecting if something unexpected is going on and spotting the occurrence of an emergency in real time.
This information will then be validated through linguistic analysis and machine learning techniques. Here, it is possible to select the emergency-related contents and identify useful information such as the type and location of event, the casualties, or the damage to infrastructures and services. In addition, we can also have information about the sentiment of the message, which is important to create panic maps and to prioritise actions on the ground. And once the event is concluded, the system keeps collecting data so that it can be continuously tested in spotting new emergencies from social media. This way, this tool will progressively learn and refine its ability to identify disasters.
Overall, social media analysis provides fast and relevant information during emergencies, highlighting the fact that these communication channels are not only changing the way we live and interact with each other, but also making every citizen an essential part in the fight against disasters.
This is the I-REACT blog. Here we will be publishing news of the project's progress and periodic posts to explain the different areas that I-REACT is tackling. If you are interested in big data, disaster management, climate change, wearables, augmented reality, earth observations, mobile devices, crowdsourcing and social media; follow our updates!
I-REACT is an innovation project funded by the European Commission. We aim to use social media, smartphones and wearables to improve disaster management.

Keywords: Mesoporous, Macroporous, Cubic liquid crystal, Emulsion
High internal phase ratio emulsions (HIPRE) or highly concentrated emulsions are characterized by their large internal phase volume.The nature and concentration of surfactant affects several features of the final emulsion, such as stability, droplet size and structure of the external phase. Therefore, an ordered external mesophase (structure of liquid crystal) can be obtained. The present work studies the influence of composition and preparation variables on the final properties of HIPRE with an external phase formed by a bicontinuous cubic liquid crystal. The studied outputs variables were droplet size, stability and rheological parameters as yield stress, viscosity at a fixed shear rate and the plateau value of the storage modulus. O/W HIPREs were prepared with a decane/brij 35/water system. Once the emulsions were characterized the meso/macroporous material was obtained. In order to prepare the materials, the emulsions were formed by incorporating the catalyst of the reaction (HCl) in the continuous phase. When the emulsions were formed, tetraethylorthosilicate (TEOS) was added as a silica source In order to optimize the production process a study of reutilization and recovery of some of the raw materials (i.e: the surfactant and the EtOH used) was done.

Traditional Leadoff Hitters Are Neither Luxuries nor Necessities, Just Very Helpful to Offensive Success
Jeff BurdickNovember 30, 2018
The Athletic published a piece Thursday about whether or not the Cubs' lack of a prototypical leadoff hitter hurt the offense in 2018. While the stats-rich piece ultimately came to same conclusion as Theo Epstein – that a prototypical leadoff hitter is a luxury – it was underpinned by a flawed definition of what an ideal leadoff hitter is.
In referencing Dexter Fowler's absence, Sahadev Sharma wrote, "It's easy to assume some of the Cubs' inconsistencies stem from the lack of a traditional, everyday leadoff man…"
Let's be clear. While Fowler did start every day at leadoff, he was far from a traditional leadoff hitter. You had to love the OBP (.393) he posted during that career year of 2016, but he was way too high-strikeout (22 percent) and no longer a major base-stealing threat to fit the ideal of a traditional leadoff hitter.
I also have a quibble with Epstein's description of traditional leadoff hitters as "luxuries." A luxury suggests something that is rare, superfluous, and expensive. But only one of these qualities actually applies to a true top-of-the-order hitter. So let's consider each of these and perhaps shed a brighter light on the value of a traditional table-setter.
Rare: Yes
It's true that high-contact, high-OBP base-stealing threats are not common commodities. Over the past three years, only seven players have posted seasons with a K-rate of 18 percent or less, an OBP over .350, and at least 30 steals. They are Whit Merrifield, Mallex Smith, Mookie Betts, Lorenzo Cain, Jose Altuve, Trea Turner and Jean Segura.
Coming close were Ender Inciarte, who fell just short with 28 steals last season, and Dee Gordon, who stole 60 with a .341 OBP in 2017. Jonathan Villar swiped 62 bags with a .369 OBP in 2016, but did so with a sky-high 26 percent K-rate. Including those three gives us 10 prototypical leadoff hitters, thus making them quite rare.
Though three of them do have World Series rings, teams can certainly win championships without such a hitter atop the lineup. That's because the leadoff role can be filled by hitters who compensate for deficiencies in one area by excelling in others. This was the Astros in 2017 when George Springer sported the relatively low K-rate (17.6 percent) and high-OBP (.369) but substituted high slugging (34 homers) for few steals (5).
The same was true of Fowler in 2016. By posting a career-high .393 OBP, he more than outweighed having the league's 14th highest K-rate (22.5 percent) and just 13 steals. But Fowler's OBP was also quite a rare figure. Consider that only six leadoff-style hitters over the past three years have posted a mark of .390 or higher. That makes Fowler's 2016 even rarer than a prototypical leadoff man.
So if you wish to cut Epstein slack for not bringing in a traditional leadoff, shouldn't we be puzzled by his chasing after an even scarcer commodity in the high-K but extremely high OBP leadoff hitter? That's what he and Joe Maddon tried by first miscasting Kyle Schwarber in the role and then doubling down with Ian Happ. Not surprisingly, both failed (.312 and .311 lead-off OBPs, respectively), with even their slugging dropping (.381 and .370 in leadoff, respectively).
Superfluous: No
The term luxury also encompasses the sense of something being non-essential, as in that "luxury we can do without." But while a team can win without a model leadoff hitter, that productivity must still be replaced somehow. And given the leadoff slot gets the most plate appearances but the fewest RISP opportunities (especially in the NL), that's why a high-contact, high-OBP, base-stealing threat makes the most sense.
This combination is about more than just the stats. A high-OBP leadoff hitter puts the opposing pitcher into the stretch for the heart of the order. The speed element not only creates additional run-scoring opportunities, it results in more fastballs and defenders out of position. The short swing of a high-contact hitter will also typically fare better against power arms – the playoff Achilles' heel of the current Cubs lineup.
It's this full array of value that The Athletic piece failed to grasp. For instance, it pointed out that the Cubs' second-half leadoff hitters performed above league average, but not all "above average" is created equal.
Consider that about half of those second-half at bats came from Daniel Murphy. He did have a nice .341 OBP leading off, but given his bad knees, he's one of the slowest hitters in baseball. Thus his .341 OBP benefited the Cubs far less than Trea Turner's 43 steals and .344 OBP did for Washington. To match Turner's run-creation value, Murphy actually would need to turn in an almost Fowler-like .380 to .390 OBP.
Expensive: No
Given how much the Cubs lineup would benefit from a traditional leadoff hitter, a solid case can be made for Epstein to overpay for one. But the irony is that despite their rarity, the market largely undervalues these players.
Consider that after 2014, Los Angeles traded Gordon to Miami for a couple bench players. Last year, the Brewers signed Cain for $16 million AAV and a second-round compensation pick. And this offseason, the Mariners got Smith from the Rays for a poor-hitting, glove-first starting catcher.
Not that Epstein hasn't attempted to trade for a prototypical leadoff hitter in the past. Before 2016 and Fowler boomeranging back on a one-year deal, the Cubs tried to get Inciarte from Arizona. But the Diamondbacks and GM Dave Stewart so undervalued Inciarte – and overvalued Shelby Miller – they shocked the industry by shipping Inciarte and No. 1 overall draft pick that year, Dansby Swanson, to Atlanta.
2019 Options
So what are Epstein's leadoff options for 2019? He could sign an aging, injury-prone A.J. Pollock as a poor-man's George Springer, though even that might be outside of his budgetary parameters. He could overpay for the Royals' Whit Merrifield. Or he could go the musical chair route again.
Interestingly, the Cubs' most effective leadoff hitter last year not named Anthony Rizzo (.428 OBP in 138 plate appearances) was Albert Almora Jr. In 212 plate appearances, he posted a .368 OBP and 17 percent K-rate, though no steals.
Thus Almora technically falls into that "all answers are internal" box, though he also fell off in the second half. But 'tis the holiday season. So and one can still dream for a slight overpay for Merrifield or for the Mariners to flip Smith, no matter how unlikely those scenarios may be.

As aquaculture expands the minimisation of waste will become increasingly important.
A recent headline caused a stir on a discussion forum for one of aquaculture's certification schemes. It claimed that around 18.1 metric tons (MT) of seafood is wasted every 10 seconds, and that if a single day's lost products were put in one line, it would go around the world three times. While this indicates a highly deficient supply chain system, it also indicates that there is a significant amount of seafood product that can be utilised before exploiting fresh stocks. Certainly something to be taken into consideration as pressure increases on marine resources and aquaculture looks to expand.

scratches on his arms, he said he got them in a park after stumbling, the police didn't believe him, they put him under 24 hour surveillance, they followed him to the public library where he used a public computer, detectives set up a sting across the street from the library, when he went on line, the police used special software to secretly monitor his computer activity, KC Joy was a suspect after this sting, they realized he killed her and dumped her body, he googled 'how long does it take for a human body to decay,' he observed Maribel's facebook page and pulled up the location of where the awareness walk was, he then zoomed in on a remote canyon and the authorities believed KC showed them where the body was (Modjeska Canyon, California), police searched the area and within an hour reported that they found Maribel, she was buried under some small rocks, her body was badly decomposed, forensic testing confirmed it was Maribel, police were never able to determine the cause of death, but circumstantial evidence pointed to KC Joy, the detectives gave KC one last chance to come clean but they don't let him know they found the body, he pointed to Maribel's ex-boyfriends again and continued to deny knowing where Maribel was, he got up, walked out, and the police arrested him, but no one knows how KC killed Maribel, authorities theorized by August 2012, KC Joy had grown intense feelings for Maribel, he was obsessed, he even spent $12,000 on cosmetic surgery to make himself look younger, he was wildly jealous of Maribel's boyfriends, by April 2013, his life was falling apart, KC Joy lost his job and told Maribel he couldn't pay the rent, she told him if you can't pay your rent, you have to move out, on the day Maribel disappeared, tensions were thick and they were arguing about the rent, KC Joy didn't want to move out, Maribel wanted him to move out, she locked herself in her room and called Paul, that same night KC Joy sneaked in her room and killed her, he most likely suffocated her and then dumped her body in a remote location, if I can't have her, no one can have her

Michele MacNeill Found Dead in Utah Home; Spouse Martin MacNeill Sentenced to Life in Prison for Murder, Died by Suicide in Prison (April 11, 2007)
Martin MacNeill, a respected physician, calls 911 after finding his wife Michele clinging to life on April 11, 2007. The beauty queen and the doctor had been married for nearly 30 years and had eight children. -True Crime Daily (October 31, 2016)
"Investigators traced Martin [MacNeill's] first lie back to when he got into the military at age 17. He was put on disability leave two years later when a medical officer deemed him a 'latent schizophrenic' with 'other mental and psychological infirmities,' according to documents Utah County investigators obtained in their research. Rachel and Alexis never saw signs of schizophrenia in their father and they do not believe he ever had such tendencies. Witney and even U.S. District Judge Dee Benson questioned whether or not Martin's schizophrenia was real. But Martin had been receiving Veteran's Administration and Social Security benefits for his alleged disability — even after he became a doctor and a lawyer with a six-figure income. He had been receiving VA benefits up until January 2010, Alexis said." -Deseret News (December 4, 2010)
Remembering Michele Somers MacNeill:
Michele married Martin MacNeill, who became a doctor, and quickly built a big family with eight children. When he turned 50, he made some big life changes, and convinced his wife to get a facelift. -ABC News (June 15, 2019)

Carlsbro Kickstart 30 Combo
Review of Carlsbro Kickstart 30 Combo -
The veteran British amp brand Carlsbro has recently undergone a revolution. The company changed hands and a lot of money, design and marketing expertise has been pumped in to get it back to where it once stood. The new team behind Carlsbro has looked at the best of what the old company did and claims to have come up with serious performance and build advantages over products from its competitors - even at the very entry level part of the market, which is where we find its appropriately named Kickstart range.
This is an important market area because not all of us can afford the sort of boutiquey valve/tube combos that we'd all love to own and yet beginners need good sound too - and they also need reliable products that will inspire them on to greater things.
The Kickstart is launching into very competitive waters. Just about all the major manufacturers offer solid state, single speaker combos of a pretty reasonable standard these days - but the Carlsbro is priced nearer the 'who are they?' level and offers some extra features which may well swing customers towards it - especially when they factor in the consideration that they are buying from a well-known manufacturer. Let's be honest - we're all swayed by brands, in one way or another!
The Kickstart range runs from 10 Watt through to 100. I am reviewing the 30 Watt version.
The Kickstart 30 looks very stylish and robust, you would be forgiven for thinking that it was a vintage valve amp of a much higher price range, which is very much what Carlsbro are trying to do - up the quality and looks of the product while undercutting its rivals. The control layout is simple, clear and user friendly, being a two channel amp offering clean and overdriven, plus built-in effects. Setting the EQ to flat, I plugged it in for a little play.
The clean channel is always the one to suffer on lower-end solid state amps. Whatever the power, they never seem to deliver the warm, thick tones a good valve amp does, but that's a distinction beginners won't appreciate: it takes some experience before you can hear and feel that sort of thing and for the sort of player this amp is intended for, the clean channel is fine: no harsh trebles or muddy lows, plus having a middle control helps to shape the tone even more. As we always say, watch the video and hear it for yourselves!
The crunch channel offers a separate volume control and can be switched either from the amp or foot switch. It's surprisingly versatile, too. You can finely adjust the gain control to get a convincing Blues tone, all the way up to full on filthy Rock! There is also one final button this amp offers called Mid Shift. When pressed, this decreases the level of Mid frequency by 15 dB, creating a scooped mid sound, which is ideal for shreddy leads. It's a nice touch, but as well as decreasing the Mid frequency it also appeared to decrease the master volume by a fair amount, which is a little annoying/strange. My advice would be to plan ahead and adjust your channel volume accordingly if you wish to use this feature. All the same, that scooped mid sound is still very fashionable so it's handy to have it included.
As I mentioned before, the Kickstart also has effects built in. The first is a spring reverb, which is nice to find - especially at this sort of price! You do have to push the dial quite high to get any real sense of it but is certainly not a nasty fake sounding reverb when it does eventually kick in. Push in the button and you get digital delay, too, which is also pretty good and you can control the speed of the delay using the same knob that you use for reverb. This of course means that you can't have delay and reverb on at the same time, which is a bit of a downside, but there has to be limits at this sort of price. The final effect is an analogue Chorus. Again, you have to have the effect up high to get any sense of its existence, but if you're just starting out, experimenting with effects then it will bring plenty of satisfaction. Although the built in effects aren't out of this world, it's still a nice addition to have at this price range and it's not hard to imagine a beginner who simply cannot afford a whole string of pedals (yet) being really pleased he or she was given this Carlsbro with effects onboard, rather than another amp that didn't have them
A couple of other nice features include Mp3 in, so you can jam away to backing tracks etc., plus a headphone socket, which I'm sure parents everywhere will agree is vitally important in those "developing" stages..!
This 30 Watt model is also pretty powerful, I never felt the need to push it about four and I feel there was probably enough head room there for those first few small club/pub gigs.
The newly revived Carlsbro range runs from solid state practice amps like this Kickstart up to full valve amps like the very tasty Evo, which we are giving away as our competition prize in this issue. It's good to see an old name back in the fray again and the consensus here in the studio was that any beginner buying this amp (or, even better, receiving it as a present) will indeed be getting quite a kickstart.

Every since our fourth son was little, he interacted with the world differently. He was reserved and reflective. He would rather play alone, observing everyone around him. Our fella was quite different from me.
That's when I realized, unlike his three older brothers, our youngest son was an introvert.
Now, this is not earthshattering, but it did mean I needed to adjust how I was going to help our child thrive at home and in school. My expectations needed to shift. After being an educator for over 10 years (at the time we had him) and being married to an introvert, I knew I had to take a different approach in raising this little guy.
As his momma, my responsibility is to be his advocate.
To help him, I had to spend some time genuinely understanding how to best support him. Let me say, this was not always an easy task with my strong extrovert personality.
Before we start diving into ways to help our introverts thrive, there are a few foundational truths I want to establish.
God uniquely created your child with his/her temperament, just as He created you with yours. Being an extroverted parent with an introverted child creates opportunities for you to appreciate the intentional plan of God.
Children who are introverted are not this way because they are depressed or anxious. They interact with the world in a different way than extroverts.
Everyone will display some extrovert and introvert qualities.
Unfortunately, some people have associated an introverted personality as a weakness. These words lead children to feel ashamed or inadequate, causing them to hide their true selves. This is especially true when parents begin pushing their children to become someone other than who they are.
That's why I knew; I was responsible for adapting not my son.
If you have an introverted kid and you are an extroverted parent, here are three ways you can help your child thrive.
People who have an introverted personality NEED downtime. Parents, please understand this is not optional. Introverts need time to process, reflect, decompress, and recover from the day, especially if the day required plenty of social interaction like school. While you may enjoy having a full social calendar of playdates, soccer practice, and small groups as an extrovert, all of this can be overstimulation for your introverted child. Now, I am not saying you should not have your child involved. Just understand HOW it impacts your child so you can adjust your expectations.
Don't take it personally when your child wants to retreat into his bedroom to play alone. The alone time allows your child to recharge. If you are anything like me, I was concerned the alone time meant our son was having a hard time at school or struggling with adjusting. So I would push him to socialize. Ugh! Now I realize, his need for time alone was not a sign he was emotionally distressed. It meant the opposite. After having downtime, most introverts don't mind being social and interacting with others. They are not energized by it like extroverts.
How do I help with this?
Put downtime in your daily schedule. Every day our son is allowed 20 minutes of downtime when he comes home from school after his snack if he wants it. He might go in his room to lay down on his bed or play with his toys. Either way, it makes a difference when he has to complete homework, and we chat about his day.
Encourage teachers to allow your child quiet time. At the beginning of each school year, I talk with my son's teachers to let them know about his personality traits and ask if there was a time in the day for him to work independently. Continuously working in small groups throughout the day was a lot when he first started school. Just telling teachers this one little detail made a big difference as he continued to move through elementary.
Another strength of introverts is their ability to focus intensely on one thing. Moving from one thing to the next can increase frustration and even anxiety in our children who have introverted personalities. Instead of trying to shift your child's focus, consider cultivating their passion. Give them opportunities to learn and pursue their interests.
Our youngest has been fascinated with cars ever since he was 1 ½. I tried to get him interested in other things, but everything led back to cars. Now at nine, he has learned about engines, speed, how cars are shaped, and all sorts of things that amaze me. Instead of trying to force him to be interested in something else, I just started expanding his knowledge.
If they have an interest, include that interest in the books, movies, projects, and papers. Show them all the ways they can expand what they know. Who knows, they could end up being someone to design or create something new in that field.
Many children who are introverts tend to respond better to one-on-one interaction than in groups. After having time to reflect and decompress from the day, don't be surprised if your introvert wants to chat or even become a chatterbox. They want to talk and share, but after having time to alone.
This is especially true when you need to discipline your child. One of the mistakes extroverted parents can make with introverted children is to discipline them in front of others. Instead of correcting the behavior, the child will often internalize creating other problems. As much as possible, learn to praise your child loudly and correctly them softly. Take your child into another room. If you are out in public, speak softly to include only you and your child in the conversation. Our goal is to correct the behavior not embarrass our child.
If you have multiple children encourage taking turns. Each child receives one-on-one time with the parent. When this is not available, stress the importance of each person listening without interrupting.
Create outings special to your kid. From going to the library or even going on a walk together, you have time carved out just for that person.
Find activities that are stimulating for both of you. From playing sports to making crafts, there is something both you and your child can enjoy together.
More importantly, shower your kid with love. Remind him, he is loved, unique and intentionally created by God. The world will do enough to remind him of his flaws. Use your time with him to cultivate, nurture and build the mighty man of God he is growing up to become. Momma, your extrovert qualities are a strength too. Let your love bridge the gap between your extrovert personality and your kid's introvert personality. You win together!
As an introvert myself, I totally agree with this. My introvert son, however, needs his alone time. He doesn't necessarlily want one-on-one time. He just wants time to be by himself. And I totally get that.
Wonderful Article. Great tips. I love how you included cultivating their passions. It is very clear how much you LOVE your son and fills my heart with joy. You go mom!
Even with teenagers I still designate one on one time with my kids. And they are so lovely on their own!
Thank you for this! No one really talks much about this and it can be a challenge for both the child and the parent and it works the other way as well.
I absolutely love this. Enjoyed it.
My eldest is an introvert.
This article is so helpful! I am a total extrovert and my son is a an introvert. It is challenging for me to try and find ways to not push my assertiveness on him to get him to be more social.
I think we are probably the opposite in my household. I'm more of an introvert, or at least on the quiet side – and my kids are very social and outgoing. It is good to try to find a balance.
Oh, you must need the quiet time to decompress. 😉. At least you know this about yourself to know how to interact and help your kiddos.
Great post, Thanks for sharing the tips with us. Pinned the post (as simpleblissfullife) and followed you.
This is one of the best articles I've read this week! I have yet to discover if my son is an introvert or extrovert. He doesn't get to hangout with a lot of kids so it's hard for me to tell. When the time comes, I would love to know how to address it. Your entry is definitely going to help me a lot in the near future.
Sometimes it can be a little challenging to determine if our children are introverts or extroverts because we all have elements of both traits. But there are small ways of identifying their preference toward one or the other.
These are amazing tips. Thank you so much. I have two boys who are very different personalities and I love how you simplify the introvert.
It amazes me how unique each child can be within the same home. I am humbled by the opportunity to raise them.
I have the opposite problem. My children are extroverts and I'm practically a hermit! I'm getting better by forcing myself out of my comfort zone, but I do not like social interaction!
That is so interesting! Do you think my tips about helping introverts was helpful?
I'll never thought of my son as an introvert but after reading this he definitely is.
It makes such a difference in knowing how to advocate for them and help them adjust.

Is it Safe to Use CBD While Pregnant or Nursing?
Cannabidiol, better known as CBD, is quickly becoming popular in the health and wellness realm. It's one of over 120 cannabinoids, or chemicals, found in the cannabis plant, and its list of potential benefits continues to grow. With more people turning to CBD to relieve various physical and mental health symptoms, you might be wondering about using CBD during pregnancy. After all, it's a natural, plant-based substance. Those facts aside, experts do not consider CBD safe to use during pregnancy. The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) strongly warns pregnant and nursing women against using any cannabis product, including CBD, saying they could pose serious risks to the fetus or a nursing baby.
Why CBD is Considered Unsafe
CBD doesn't produce the "high" you might associate with cannabis. Therefore, you might assume this makes CBD safe to use during pregnancy, but experts still recommend avoiding it entirely. Research around CBD and pregnancy is very limited, but the results of these studies have prompted some concerns. A 2019 study found that fetal exposure to cannabinoids could affect immune system development and possibly weaken the body's ability to defend against cancer and infections. That said, the study referred to cannabinoids in general rather than specifically focusing on CBD. The study authors also noted that cannabinoids mainly work by binding to CB1 and CB2 receptors in the body. They went on to explain, though, that both THC and CBD can also bind to other receptors, which could have other developmental or health consequences during pregnancy and nursing. Future research may help shed more light on possible risks of CBD use during pregnancy or while nursing.
There's no doubt that pregnancy can cause plenty of physical discomfort. Symptoms such as nausea, pain, anxiety, and insomnia are not unheard of and can linger throughout pregnancy. It's always best to share any symptoms you experience with your doctor, along with any questions you might have about medications to avoid during pregnancy. Your doctor can help you find safe treatments and home remedies to help ease pregnancy-related discomfort. Keeping them updated on your symptoms can also help them recognize signs of more serious health complications early on. That goes for mental health symptoms, too. You might prefer to avoid prescription antidepressants during pregnancy, but that doesn't mean you have to leave symptoms of anxiety, depression, or other emotional distress untreated. A therapist can offer support and guidance on safe treatment options during pregnancy.
You might feel tempted to turn to CBD to help ease the pain and discomfort associated with pregnancy, but for the moment, experts caution against using any cannabis product during pregnancy. Your healthcare professional can offer more recommendations for safe alternatives to manage medical and mental health symptoms during pregnancy.

… and Then You Win
Tom O'Keefe	Uncategorized	 December 18, 2021 3 Minutes
Short and sweet today. After a year of grinding away at the unglamorous work of organizing and lobbying, our small grassroots coalition won a big victory with the passage, by the New York City Council, of a ban on natural gas connections in new buildings. The victory does not come without compromises (the ban will take effect in buildings under seven stories at the end of 2023, and in those over seven, not until 2027), but represents, nonetheless, another major step towards climate sanity in our policy framework, and sends a signal nationally and globally about our rapidly changing times.
Speaking of times, the corporate media coverage was, predictably, idiotic and dishonest, ranging from the New York Times' emphasis on gas stoves, to Forbes' outright lies regarding the regressiveness of the bill (which was championed by a diverse coalition of environmental justice orgs). Here's what I wrote on the My Climate Journey Slack with respect to the Times headline:
This is a stupid headline from the NYT, as most of the emissions from natural gas in NYC come from heating buildings (and not from gas stoves, which are dangerous and unhealthy, but to which many people have a sentimental attachment that has been fostered by decades of gas industry propaganda), but the victory is a big one. I worked closely (on a pro bono basis) on the grassroots campaign that led to this legislation's passage. The four lead organizations on the campaign, all nonprofits that operate on shoestring budgets, spent perhaps a few hundred thousand dollars over the course of one year to fuel the organizing that led to this win, and yet ~40% of NYC's ~50MT of CO2e annual emissions come from heating buildings. We, of course, still have to decarbonize our electricity generation, a very heavy lift, but even so, that's an impressive prospective impact per dollar, to the extent that many MCJ community members are accustomed to thinking about ROI in terms of emissions. This legislation is also a massive tailwind to startups working on energy efficiency, electrification, smart grid, etc. Hope we see much more emphasis on climate policy from the climate tech and finance communities going forward. Time for the "government is our enemy" ideology of too many tech folks to die, as we don't successfully address climate crisis without government action at every level.
With respect to the framing in Forbes, the magazine's reactionary high-brow ethos speaks for itself, but let's just say that 1) anyone who believes that the transition off fossil fuels isn't both inevitable and urgently necessary is in denial, at best, and 2) given the relatively long time frame for the phase in of this bill, which only applies to new construction, it is hard to understand how it could possibly put regressive energy costs on low-income New Yorkers (save in a case where energy transition totally fails, but then we have much bigger problems), though I'm heartened to see Forbes suddenly so interested in economic justice and energy poverty.
I dwell on the negative, momentarily, only because we would have won this fight much sooner if not for the lies, obfuscation, and bad faith of the corporate media and the corporate Democrats – including my own council member, outgoing Speaker Corey Johnson, who did nothing to support us, refused to endorse the proposed bill, let Queens council member Jim Gennaro lock the legislation up in committee for months, but then rushed to take credit for this monumental victory in the press once we finally managed to push it through – to say nothing of the few Republicans on the NYC City Council.
Are you moved and inspired, as I am, by this victory? Get involved. You can reach out to me directly about being part of our next campaign, which will launch in early 2022, and, at very least, you can donate to New York Communities for Change, Food and Water Watch, NYPIRG, and WE ACT. These are the core organizations in the coalition that won passage of the Climate Mobilization Act, with Local Law 97 at its core, in 2019; an expansion of Local Law 97, on which I worked intensively, in 2020; and now this gas ban, in 2021, under the banner of a #GasFreeNYC. As mentioned above, the entire budget for our campaign this year couldn't have been more than a few hundred thousand dollars. Just imagine what we could accomplish if we were well-capitalized and had proper broad-based support from a well-informed public?! You can be a part of making those hopeful conditions a reality, but it will mean getting informed, getting engaged, and embracing that public policy is one of the most powerful levers we have for wrenching the future in the direction of sanity and justice.

On The WWE TLC With Ronda Rousey Nuke Jax & On Asuka's Help At In-Ring Chemistry
canada December 23, 2018 canada
Ronda Rousey shared a Q & A interview on the YouTube channel (Transcripts via Wrestling Inc.) and spoke to Asuka in TLC, helping Nia Jax with her chemistry and more …
It is now where his confrontation with Nia Jax: "I did not see Niya for TLC, and I know it was a pretty rough day. [Laughs] I think you took a little time to quote. He was in a hood fight and he went well, so he could at any time. The issue has been resolved. I do not know if he does not. I have no problem with him unless he agrees with me. "
Why does Jaxi like the opponent?: "Nia is a very strong opponent compared to me, but I have come from Judo, and it is to overcome the maximum efficiency and minimal effort, neutral well-being, dimensional disadvantages, and against the opponent's strength I think it's against me and my superiority it's a really exciting match with the power that he can use, and I really can use all the power I can to do, and I feel like Nia is a really great game for me. There are some things I know I can not do with him, and that's why it's always a great opportunity to get into his cheek as I personally feel. "
To assist Asuka in the WWE TLC match with Charlotte and Becky: "I have a lot of respect for Asuka, and I always have it, and I really did not want to rain on her parade at Royal Rumble." I just wanted to go out and congratulate her, and I would like to bring more attention to my incredible memory. but in both the TLC, both Charlotte and Becky are very tricky, and they have come in. I do not have to explain my actions to anyone, and Payback b – and Askua are more worthy of them than champions. he never lost, because he did not have to leave the match, he is the best and now he is the champion.

'Shoot the Rock' with Brad Boyd Brad Boyd holds annual shoot the rock camps Check out this story on dailyworld.com: https://www.dailyworld.com/story/news/local/2015/06/06/shoot-rock-brad-boyd/28606921/

Want to learn how to properly shoot the rock? There is still time to register for Opelousas High head basketball coach Brad Boyd's Shoot the Rock Basketball Camp at Opelousas High School at 1014 Judson Walsh Drive.
The camp begins Monday and continues through Thursday from 8:30 a.m.-12:30 p.m. each day. The cost is $100 for boys and girls in grades 1-11.
Boyd, a former University of Louisiana at Lafayette standout basketball player, said he has been involved in basketball camps for 10 years and Shoot the Rock gives players a chance to have fun and learn the game of basketball.
"Each year we get a good group of kids," he said. "We teach them the fundamentals of the game and we do some fun competitions. It's all about giving back to the young girl or guy that's trying to learn."
Campers will have the opportunity to compete in hot shot, speed layups, free throws, league games and beat the buzzer competitions each day.
"We like to have fun," Boyd said.
Some of Boyd's former teammates and ex-NBA players drop in to mentor campers for a couple of days during the week.
Boyd earned the head coaching position at Opelousas last week and he said the transition from working with his high school team as they get ready for summer league play and preparing for the camps has been good.
"It's been real smooth because Dr. (Randy) Johnson had already told me I can have camps at the gym at school," he said. "Being named the head coach put a little added pressure of organizing the team stuff and getting ready for summer league, but nothing too hectic."
Boyd said his camp instructs players to develop on and off the court.
"They're going to learn how to be a good teammate, sportsmanship and how to compete to try to win," he said. "I think basketball goes hand-in-hand with life. We try to instill that in the kids. We teach them a little basketball, but we teach them life situations that's going to help them in the future."
The registration deadline for the camp in Opelousas is Sunday at 11:59 p.m. For those who miss the Opelousas camp, there is another shoot the rock session at Ascension Middle School in Lafayette June 15-18. The last day to register is June 14.

What Happened When Caller Labelled Farage A Hypocrite
Nigel Farage said he wanted his callers to challenge him on his new LBC show - and he got just that when one labelled him a hypocrite.
Ben in Charing Cross said Nigel was happy to have a Germany wife and live in England, but doesn't want other people to have the same priviledges.
And he took aim at the former Ukip leader fot he controversial "Breaking Point" poster which he said encouraged xenophobia.
In a fiery exchange, Ben said: "What I find amazing is that in actual fact, you are a complete hypocrite.
"You're married to a Germany lady, a German national who works here. My fiancée lives in Madrid and wants to work over here. But it's one rule for you and another for everyone else.
"You've making it very difficult and you're inciting the country - British jobs for British people.
"All the rhetoric that's being bounded around Brexit, saying we don't want the foreigners in.
But Nigel hit back, saying: "Sorry matey, I think you might have got the wrong end of the stick here.
"Who said we don't want the foreigners in? I mean, were you listening to the Brexit debate? You tell me, Ben, when I once, ever, made a comment that was anywhere near what you've just alleged."
Ben responded: "Do you not think that the poster that was put out, do you not think that incited some sort of xenophobia?"
Nigel said: "I think Mrs Merkel contributed hugely to us winning the Brexit referendum through the absolute madness of saying as many as want to come can come."

Neonfarbe (auch Tagesleuchtfarbe, Tageslicht-Fluoreszenzfarbe, Schockfarbe, Signalfarbe, Warnfarbe) ist eine Bezeichnung für Farben und Farbmittel von hoher Leuchtkraft. Der Begriff wurde Ende der 1960er Jahre eingeführt ("neonfarben", "neonleuchtend"),
abgeleitet von den damals aufkommenden Leuchtstoffröhren, umgangssprachlich irrtümlicherweise auch 'Neonröhren' genannt, und ihrer für damalige Verhältnisse besonders hohen Leuchtdichte und den Buntfarben, die damit möglich waren.

Farbmittel
Heute versteht man darunter Farbmittel mit abnorm hoher Farbsättigung und Buntheit, zum einen "grelle, schreiende" Farben
(chemische Gruppen wie die Phthalocyanine, Pyrrol-Farbstoffe und andere neue Entwicklungen seit den 1960ern), insbesondere aber auch Farbmittel mit optischen Aufhellern (Tagesleuchtfarbe), die weniger hell erscheinende oder unsichtbare kurzwellige Spektralanteile des Tageslichts (blau, violett und ultraviolett) durch Fluoreszenz in heller erscheinendes, längerwelliges sichtbares Licht (gelb und grün) umgewandelt. Diese Farbmittel sind zum Teil zusätzlich mit Nachleuchtpigmenten (auch Nachtleuchtfarbe) versetzt, die nach Lichteinwirkung im Dunkeln durch Phosphoreszenz nachleuchten. Von Leuchtfarben zu unterscheiden sind die Retroreflexfarben mit hohem Reflexionsvermögen – der Fähigkeit, Licht gerichtet zur Lichtquelle zurückzustrahlen, was durch Beigabe von feinen transparenten Kügelchen erreicht wird. Alle diese letzteren  Farbmittelklassen haben eine rechnerische Farbtiefe und Leuchtkraft über 100 %, weil sie in irgendeiner Weise mehr (sichtbares) Licht abstrahlen als einfällt.

Am Bildschirm ist der Eindruck einer Neonfarbe primär in den Farbtönen Gelb, Cyan und Magenta darstellbar, diese erfordern im RGB-Raum zwei aktivierte Farbpunkte (Subpixel) je Pixel und sind darum doppelt hell.
Im Farbdruck (CMYK-Farbraum) bilden diese die Grundfarben und sind daher die Farbechtesten, andere hervorstechende Farbtöne müssen mit Volltonfarbe (zusätzlichem Farbmittel) gedruckt werden.
Sonst muss jeweils das Gesamt-Chroma des Bildes reduziert werden, um einzelne Farben herausstechen zu lassen.

Gelb-, Türkis/Hellgrün- und Pink-Töne gelten denn auch allgemein als Neonfarben schlechthin. In Englischen sind dafür Farbnamen wie electric blue (Cyan) oder neon yellow (Hochgelb) üblich.

Anwendung
Neonfarben haben eine warnende Wirkung (Warnfarbe), erregen aber auch Aufmerksamkeit (Signalfarbe). Darum werden diese Farben in Gefahrenbereichen bevorzugt, oder in der Werbung eingesetzt, um Produkte herauszustellen.

 Retroreflexfarbe wird für Reflektorfolie wie auch für Verkehrszeichen, Straßenmarkierungen und Autokennzeichen verwendet.
 Textmarker-Stifte mit Tagesleuchtfarbe dienen dazu, Textstellen besonders hervorzuheben.
 Markiersprays in allen möglichen Anwendungen von Bauwesen bis Forstwirtschaft
 Schutzkleidung (etwa von Straßenbauarbeitern oder im Rettungswesen) haben Neonfarben, damit die Arbeiter von den Verkehrsteilnehmern schneller wahrgenommen werden. Das gilt auch für die Sicherheitswesten, die Autofahrer in einigen Ländern im Fahrzeug als Standardausrüstung mit sich führen müssen. Warnwesten tragen sowohl retroreflektierende Streifen als auch Tagesleuchtfarbe.
 Modische Kleidung: Neonfarben tauchten seit den 1980er Jahren auch im Bereich der Kleidermode und der Innenarchitektur auf. Insbesondere im Kontext der Technokultur der 1990er Jahre, die Warnwesten und Schutzkleidung als modische Requisiten entdeckte, werden Neonfarben dann als Dresscode verwendet. Um die Wende 2000er/2010er wird der Neon-Look der 1980er wiederbelebt.
 Auch bei Lebensmittelfarben sind vergleichsweise unnatürlich grelle Farben etwa für Süßigkeiten oder Drinks beliebt.

Farben abnorm hoher Farbtiefe sind auch für einige optische Täuschungen bekannt.

Virginia Seminary to Force Students to Pay 1.7M in Reparations to Descendants of Black Slaves
In the ever-growing push for social justice in the Church, liberal progressive denominations are leaps and bounds ahead in the movement to embrace intersectionality and victimhood while vilifying whites — particularly, straight, white males. However, the more conservative denominations are not too far behind. In short, what the liberal mainline denominations do today, the Southern Baptist Convention and the Presbyterian Church (PCA) will do tomorrow.
Earlier this year, the Southern Baptist Theological Seminary headed by Al Mohler released a report detailing the Southern Baptist Convention's as well as the seminary's history as it pertains to American slavery. Acknowledging its historical ties to American slavery, the seminary president, Al Mohler, stopped short of agreeing to financial reparations for slaves, though many Southern Baptist and Evangelical leaders continue to push for it.
Notable reparationists include Southern Baptist pastor and leader, Thabiti Anyabwile, who sided with the atheist, Christopher Hitchens, that reparations are necessary and said that to oppose reparations is "of the devil." Others include Jemar Tisby, an outspoken Presbyterian leader in favor of reparations and Ekemini Uwan, who was recently walked out on by a group of women after she stood on stage and told them they were "wicked" for being "white." These leaders equate reparations with atonement.
However, as already noted, the liberal denominations have them beat by years. One Episcopal seminary in Virginia released a plan to pay 1.7 million dollars in reparations to descendants of black slaves. The plan, designed to assuage the consciences of the majority white denomination, states "that we must start to repair the material consequences of our sin in the past." Again, equating reparations with atonement, Virginia Theological Seminary, which says it already has the 1.7 million funded drawn from tuition fees and other sources, will be used for the following purposes,
the needs emerging from local congregations linked with VTS;
the particular needs of any descendants of enslaved persons that worked at the Seminary;
the work of African American alumni/ae, especially in historic Black congregations;
the raising up of African American clergy in The Episcopal Church;
other activities and programs that promote justice and inclusion.
The Director of the Office of Multicultural Ministries, Rev. Joseph Thompson, said in a comment,
This initiative has the potential to be transformative. Though no amount of money could ever truly compensate for slavery, the commitment of these financial resources means that the institution's attitude of repentance is being supported by actions of repentance that can have a significant impact both on the recipients of the funds, as well as on those at VTS. It opens up a moment for us to reflect long and hard on what it will take for our society and institutions to redress slavery and its consequences with integrity and credibility.
Despite the anti-gospel, anti-Christian theme of the social justice movement, there appears to be no end in sight to the lunacy. As the racial divide continues to grow in the steamers of cultural Marxism, those who stand on true biblical principles, gospel-centered reconciliation, and uphold the true mission of the Church will continue to be vilified and persecuted by those institutions that call themselves "Christian."
