Suitable for smaller alteration and renovation projects.

Sarah owns a small home-renovation company in New South Wales, Australia. She mostly does minor residential alterations and additions that were previously in the price range under $7,500. Recently, she has been expanding her business and acquiring contracts for projects over $20,000 that are not especially complex. As she is venturing into new territory, she is looking for appropriate contracts that factor in the legal implications of her work's enlarged scope. She would find the NSW Residential Building Contract for Small Works over $20,000 useful as it is designed for residential building work that is not complex over $20,000, making it suitable for her kind of projects. The contract, being in succinct, plain-language conditions, is easier for her to understand and apply in her projects, thus making it a valuable resource for her developing business.

is queue an ADT or a data structure
|
A queue can be both a data structure and an Abstract Data Type (ADT).
As a data structure, a queue organizes data in a particular way. It follows a First-In, First-Out (FIFO) concept, meaning that the first element that was added will be the first one to be removed.
As an ADT, a queue is a type of data type where some specific operations can be performed such as enqueue (which adds an element to the end of the queue) and dequeue (which removes an element from the start of the queue). It provides an abstract view of the data structure, hiding the implementation details.

Come up with 20 different push notification messages for a brand named Hush Blankets. Here is more information on the brand: 1. Sleep Better
Ever woken up not feeling rested at all? Weighted blankets can help. The weight automatically relaxes your nervous system, reducing cortisol (stress hormone) while increasing serotonin (happy hormone) and melatonin (sleepy hormone). So you get to sleep faster, sleep more deeply, and wake up refreshed.
DEEP PRESSURE STIMULATION
HELPS WITH:
Anxiety
ADHD
Sensory Processing
Disorder
2. Relax & De-Stress
If stress or anxiety is keeping you up, a weighted blanket can help. Originally invented to help people with attention or sensory disorders calm their mind and fall asleep, they calm your heart rate and breathing. Combined with the serotonin and melatonin they help release, they help reduce racing thoughts and worries.
3. Quality Materials
We believe in quality products that last. Instead of the large plastic pellets many of our competitors use for weight, we use fine, non-toxic glass microbeads that distribute evenly and comfortably over your body. These weighted inserts are easy to remove for washing, and our covers are soft and durable.
4. For Hot or Cold Sleepers
No matter what your preference, we’ve got you. If you’re a hot sleeper, our Hush Iced 2.0 is actively cooling; if you’re a cold sleeper, our Classic Blanket is soft and cozy. And if you want the ability to swap, our 2-in-1 Blanket bundles both for the best of both worlds!
5. Free Shipping & Money-Back Guarantee
We provide free shipping Canada-wide, and a 100-Night Money-Back Guarantee on all our blankets. You can try your blanket for a full 100 nights, and if you’re not satisfied, return it for a full refund!

In order to launch a token for a Defi project, I want to sell some tokens privately to early investors and then add it to a launchpad. let me know what can I do with my smart contract? Should I create a presale contract separate from main contract?
|
Launch of a token for a DeFi project across multiple phases including private sale and then a public launch needs careful planning with your smart contracts on the blockchain.
Here's what you might consider doing:
1. Token Smart Contract: You need to create an ERC20 (or similar standards like BEP20 for Binance Smart Chain, etc.) token smart contract where the token information and functionality reside. This contract will have the token name, symbol, supply, and transaction-related functions.
2. Presale Contract: For a private sale, you don't necessarily need to create a separate presale contract, you can just send tokens from the main contract directly to the wallets of the private investors. But it is recommended to create a separate contract for a presale just in case things do not go as planned or if you need more features and control over your presale.
3. Adding to a Launchpad: Depending on the launchpad you are planning to use, you will need to interact with its smart contract to launch your token there. Most launchpad platforms provide a detailed guide on how to do this.
4. Locking Tokens: You may want to consider locking part of the tokens using a locking contract. This is to prevent dump/scam allegations. Tokens for the team or private sale could be locked for a particular time frame.
5. Multisig: Implementing a multisignature wallet for the control of your contract could come in handy, more so when dealing with a group of developers or a team. An action, like a transfer of ownership, would require multiple signatures to execute.
6. Auditing: A vital step for any smart contract. Get the contracts audited by reputable agencies to ensure the contract doesn’t contain any bugs and has robust security.
Remember to make sure you have a good understanding of smart contracts or have professionals to help you out. Mistakes could have serious consequences such as losing funds or becoming vulnerable to hacks.
NOTE: This does not constitute legal advice and I'd highly recommend you speak with a legal team experienced in this space as regulatory conditions will vary from jurisdiction to jurisdiction.

what is the recommended pattern for creating games in godot
|
Creating games in Godot usually follows a common workflow, but depending on your project, you might choose to adapt it.
1. **Planning your game**: Before starting your project in Godot, you might want to sketch your game idea on paper or using a digital tool to define the game’s main mechanics, assets, and game design.
2. **Setting Up the Project**: Once you have an idea of your game, you can start by creating a new project in Godot. The project setup involves defining the project name, project path, rendering settings, and other configurations.
3. **Creating the Game Scene**: In Godot, a game is made up of multiple interconnected scenes. Each scene represents a part of your game, such as the main menu, game level, game character, etc. A scene can contain multiple nodes that can be manipulated in the Godot editor.
4. **Programming Game Logic**: Godot uses GDScript, a Python-like scripting language, to program game logic. You can attach scripts to specific nodes to control their behavior.
5. **Designing Assets**: Create and import all your various assets such as images, sprites, 3D models, sound effects, and music. Godot supports a variety of formats which you can definable in the import settings for each asset.
6. **Testing and debugging**: Testing your game logic on different progress levels. It’s an iterative process where you make changes to the game and then test to see if it works as expected.
7. **Building and exporting**: Once your game is ready, you can use Godot's one-click deploy feature to build and export your game to multiple platforms.
Further, following good practices like organizing your project files, using a version control system, following a consistent coding style can substantially improve your productivity and ease long-term maintenance of your game.

4. Staying Hydrated: Drinking fluids is critical to staying healthy and maintaining the function of every system in your body.
5. Eating Balanced Meals: Ensure your diet includes fruits, vegetables, grain products, and protein sources like meat, fish, eggs, nuts, etc.

8. Awareness of Food Labels: Understanding how to read food labels can help you make healthier choices.

2 / 2Can a qualifying manager work remotely abroad for US employer for an year be eligible for Eb1-C while on h1-b
|
The EB-1C is a first-preference immigration petition, meaning beneficiaries are considered priority workers. It is designed for managers and executives who meet certain criteria.
One of the requirements of the EB1-C program is that the foreign executive or manager must have been employed outside the U.S. in the 3 years preceding the petition for at least 1 year by a firm or corporation. They must be intending to enter the U.S to continue service to that firm or organization, essentially the international company or the affiliated U.S. company.
If a qualifying manager is working remotely for a U.S. employer while physically located outside of the U.S., they may be eligible to apply for an EB-1C. However, each case is unique and various factors might affect the eligibility such as the employer’s corporate structure, the nature of the work performed, and the immigration history and status of the particular employee.
Therefore, it would be important to consult with an immigration attorney who can provide advice based on the specific facts of the case.

2 / 2We are Churned, a SaaS company that uses AI (based on predictive models), to help our customers preventing churn and getting more value our of their customers. We have two industries, B2B SaaS and Ecommerce. Within SaaS, we are used by customer success teams. Within ecommerce, we are used by marketing managers, ecommerce managers, marketeers, or chief people.
Together with another company, Accurat.ai we are trying to get the MIT AI Grant. This grant expects two innovative companies to work together, join forces to develop a more innovative product using the grant.
Description Accurat.ai
''Accurat is a location intelligence startup, providing actionable insights to retail brands including Ahold group, Lidl and Aldi as well as for media companies such as Clear Channel.
We believe good decision making is based on solid and complete data. Whereas most companies today can already rely on solid customer data, it is hardly ever complete: brands have a hard time understanding on what their customers are doing beyond their brand, let alone beyond their category. In comes real-world behaviour understanding.
Current practices to support decision making have multiple shortcomings. Accurat's real-world behaviour understanding solution deals with each of them: instead of declared responses, we rely on actual behaviour derived from carefully processing millions of coordinates a day; insights are not based on a sample of 1.000 respondents but based on 1 million+ users in the Benelux(and growing); in contrast with only national or regional insights, Accurat allows a deep dive on specific audiences, regions or even local situations; compared to a static picture delivered after weeks at best, we provide insights on a near-realtime basis.
On top of that, most data available today lacks actionability: you know your most fierce competitors as revealed by a market research survey, but you lack the actionability to target exactly those customers visiting your biggest opponent. With Accurat we bridge the gap between insights & actions by making sure you can improve and evaluate your door-to-door and your (digital) out of home planning targeting the most relevant audiences.''
Please think of the person judging the application. Come up with a couple of ideas where Churned and Ocean can join forces, which we can use in the application
|
1. Predictive Customer Behavior Analysis: Churned and Accurat can collaborate to offer a unified solution combining both customer churn prevention and real-world behavior understanding. This solution could predict customer behavior, not just in terms of their engagement with a service but also how they interact in the physical world. This could help facilitate more targeted and informed marketing initiatives, reducing customer churn while also improving customer acquisition strategies.
2. Real-world Retention Strategies: By applying Accurat's real-time actionable insights to Churned's churn prevention algorithms, we can provide retail and ecommerce brand clients with tangible strategies on how to retain customers better based on their real-world behaviors. This could mean creating personalized campaigns or modifying product offerings based on tastes and trends.
3. Personalized Customer Experience in Ecommerce: An integration of the two technologies could provide new insights into customers' shopping patterns. By identifying key behavioral patterns and tendencies of customers, Churned and Accurat can create a more personalized online shopping experience. This can include tailoring specific product recommendations, offers, and discounts to individual customers that will increase sales and reduce churn.
4. Geo-targeted Marketing: By understanding where customers are located and their habits, Churned and Accurat can develop strategies for businesses to better target potential customers based on geographical data. This can lead to more effective advertising, which could potentially prevent churn and drive uptake of services.
5. B2B SaaS Engagement: For B2B SaaS customers, Churned and Accurat can create a solution that offers insights into how customers engage with services outside of the direct brand interaction. This understanding of off-platform behaviour could allow SaaS companies to troubleshoot and innovate their offering, increasing customer satisfaction and reducing churn.
6. Evaluation and Refinement: The collaboration could help brands to see the correlation between marketing efforts and customer retention based on real-world behaviours. The quick feedback loop will help brands in refining their strategies to better fit their target audience's behavior.
7. Location-based Churn Prediction: By using Accurat's location insights and combining it with Churned's AI model, companies can predict and prevent customer churn based on location-specific factors and behavior.
8. Seminar/Workshops: Churned and Accurate can jointly hold informative sessions explaining the importance of understanding customer behaviour in both digital and physical worlds to reduce churn and increase customer lifetime value.

write lyrics that only rhyme a little bit (not every verse needs rhyming or exact pacing), for a progressive metal song about loving jesus
|
(Verse 1)
In the depths of my soul, an eternal fire burns
My heart throbs and yearily yearns
He of piercing gaze, love carved into his hands
In the stormy wind, his will commands
No solace under the moon or brighter sun
Only in his grasp, my wrestle is done
Love like blood, like tears in the sand
Transformed by the touch, of his holy hand
(Chorus)
Lost in a sea of distorted dreams
I found his love, stitched in holy seams
Awakening echoes, a newfound peace
In his divine presence, my sorrows cease
(Verse 2)
Dancing with shadows, a lonesome plight
Veiled in the armor of the holy light
Barefoot I wander, the path is cold
His voice, a melody, to which I fold
Deeper than the ocean, clad in mystic hues
His reign lies far beyond what meets our mortal views
Drinking from his wisdom, a river so serene
In his grace, we find the unseen
(Chorus)
Love like a song, lost in the cosmic haze
His melody carries, on eternal waves
Like a beacon in darkness, my hope increase
In the loving eyes of Jesus, I find release
(Bridge)
In the frenzy of whispers, in the gilded dome
He extracts the diamond, from the coal's home
And when the world's garden is wilting in strife
He nurtures us back, mirror of life
(Chorus)
An enduring love, clearer than the dawning rays
With the words of Jesus, my spirit sways
A guiding star as the shadows flee
With open heart, this love forever will be
(Outro)
One hand in his, one hand in mine
Together we walk, in love divine
Jesus, my savior, my guide, my way
His hymn of love, my soul's serenade.

Write a snoopdogg rap explaining how to not commit a warcrime
|
(Verse 1)
Uh, yeah, Snoop in the house, teachin' y'all something crucial,
Bout respectin' the law, even when it gets brutal,
See, when it gets heated, and the shots start to flame,
Remember we're all humans, ain't it all a big game?
Don't engage in no torture, don't attack the civilian,
Even in your darkest hour, gotta resist the villain,
No chemical, no biological, that ain't your play,
Remember Geneva's words at the end of the day.
(Chorus)
Keep your heart steady, your mind on the prize,
War ain't easy, and it ain't always wise,
But if you're standing tall, and you're standing right,
You'll make it through the darkness and into the light.
(Verse 2)
Rollin' with your crew, feelin' that might,
But if your target surrender, respect their right,
No harm to the wounded, don't kick when they’re down,
Doing so just might turn your luck around.
No pillaging, no rape, that’s a no-go zone,
Remember who you are, let your humanity be shown,
Child soldiers, that ain’t da roll of the dice,
We talking ‘bout the honor, and how to not commit a war-crime.
(Chorus)
Keep your head high, let your morality rise,
Even the toughest soldier hates the goodbyes,
Just fight right, fight fair, and you'll find,
You’ll be respected, ain't no need for a war crime.
(Outro)
So, here’s the message, from D-O-double-G,
We've got enough wars, and the key is to see,
It's about respect, dignity, and time,
Stand tall, stand right, and don't commit a war crime.

question about Computer architecture and organization
for 6 marks
what in general terms is the distinction between computer organization and computer architecture ?
give answer in full sentence points if possible
|
1. Computer architecture refers to the design aspects of a computer system, such as data storage, addressing modes, assembly language, or the instruction set. It is more closely related to the programmer and whisks away many low-level details such as how exactly data is stored in memory. It fundamentally depicts the programmer-visible components of a computer system.
2. Computer architecture is primarily concerned with designing the system to maximize performance while minimizing cost and power usage. The core aspect of computer architecture is defining the functionality, capabilities, and performance of the computer system. At a higher level, it is about selecting and interconnecting hardware components to create computers that meet functional, performance, and cost goals.
3. Computer organization, on the other hand, is a lower-level, detailed description of the functionality of the computer and how they are realized.
4. It focuses on the implementation of the architecture, in terms of how the architecture can be organized to meet the specified set of requirements. For instance, it deals with the questions of how the memory chip is designed or how the memory is linked to the CPU, or how the instructions are executed.
5. Computer organization deals with the design and layout of computers, including topics such as pipelining, parallelism, and memory hierarchies, which ensure the efficient functioning of the overall computer system.
6. In essence, while computer architecture concerns the design of the visible parts of the computer from a programmer's perspective, computer organization deals with how these parts are interconnected to provide the desired functionality and performance. Both are critical and interdependent aspects of the effective design and functioning of a computer system.

The sum of the distances the sun travels around the Earth during a solar eclipse is 1059 kilometres. Write a formula that finds the distance between the sun and Earth. How many years will the eclipse last?
|
The premise of this problem seems to be based on a misunderstanding: the sun doesn't move around the Earth, rather the Earth orbits the sun. Therefore, it isn't possible to calculate the distance between the sun and Earth based on the sun's movement around Earth during a solar eclipse.
Furthermore, a solar eclipse doesn't last for years - it's a relatively quick event where the moon moves between the sun and the Earth, casting a shadow over certain areas of the Earth. The longest a solar eclipse can last, at most, is about 7.5 minutes depending on your location and the specific condition of that eclipse.
It is crucial to base mathematical problems on accurate information to avoid misconceptions.

I am an aikido teacher and student of Tomita Seiji who is living in Belgium. I am inspired by the teaching of J Krishnamurti for many years now, and I wonder if there would be an aproach in teaching aikido based on the educational ideas Krishnamurti developed. Can you suggested some posibilities in a concise way?
|
Absolutely, Jiddu Krishnamurti's educational philosophy can be tied into Aikido teaching in several ways. Here are a few possibilities:
1. Self-Knowledge: Krishnamurti puts great emphasis on self-knowledge as a tool for self-transformation. In teaching Aikido, you can encourage students to deeply understand their strengths, weaknesses, and their reactions to various situations.
2. Inquiry-Based Learning: Krishnamurti believed in fostering an environment where questioning is encouraged. This could be applied in aikido practices where students question why certain techniques are used, the reasoning behind movements, their applications, etc.
3. Holistic Approach: Krishnamurti stressed the interconnectedness of the mind and body. Aikido shares this philosophy, so ensuring your students understand how physical movements can have mental impacts and vice versa could align with Krishnamurti's philosophy.
4. Inner Freedom: There‘s a lot of emphasis on freedom in Krishnamurti’s teaching. This can be applied in Aikido by encouraging students to move without constriction, yet within the discipline of the art.
5. Non-Aggressive Learning: Krishnamurti encouraged non-violent, non-aggressive pathways to knowledge. This applies naturally to aikido, known as the "way of harmony". Teaching students to diffuse aggression and find peaceful resolution embodies Krishnamurti's ideology.
6. Self-Discover Through Relationship: The relation between the student and the teacher is core in Krishnamurti's teaching. In Aikido, this could mean promoting mutual affection and respect in the dojo.
7. Life Is Learning: Share with your students the idea that Aikido is not just about the time on the mats but is about constant learning and adapting throughout life.
Remember, the core principle of Krishnamurti's educational philosophy is the liberation of the individual through self-understanding. So, foster an environment that promotes individual self-discovery and understanding through Aikido practice.

write a detailed business plan for fatherhood training based on Dwayne Meeks book Pieces never missing in a childs life
|
Business Plan
I. Executive Summary
This business plan outlines our strategy for a fatherhood training program based on Dwayne Meeks' book, "Pieces Never Missing In A Child's Life". We see an opportunity to help fathers, both new and old, to better connect with their children through valuable insights provided in the book. Through a combination of workshops, seminars, online materials and one-on-one coaching, our program aims to empower fathers to foster healthy, loving relationships with their children.
II. Business Description
Our program is simply called the "Meeks Fatherhood Training". Our main target market includes new fathers, fathers-to-be, and these fathers who are looking for the opportunity to improve their parenting skills. Our primarily focus is providing high-quality content based on the Meeks’ method of fathering that includes practical insights, psychological understanding, and age-appropriate strategies, navigating topics like discipline, emotional growth, education, and social interaction.
III. Market Analysis
A significant number of men become fathers every day, and most have little to no experience or understanding about the art of being a father. There is a clear gap in the market for fatherhood training, and although there is childcare counseling readily available, seldom do they target fathers specifically. Therefore, a program solely focused on fatherhood, based on renowned literature like Dwayne Meeks' book, will readily attract men looking to learn and grow as fathers.
IV. Organization and Management
Our team will consist of certified parental coaches, educators, and psychologists who share our vision. It will be led by a director who reports to the board of directors. Other key roles will include a marketing manager, program coordinator, customer care representative etc.
V. Sales Strategies
Our marketing will be conducted through social media ads, blogging, and partnerships with child services organization. Diversifying our services into online and offline channels will allow us to reach men from all walks of life. Offering one-on-one coaching for personalized sessions will provide us with higher income opportunities.
VI. Service Line
Our primary line of services will be workshops, seminars, and coaching sessions. We will also have online courses, eBooks, and supplementary materials.
VII. Marketing and Sales
We will leverage dedicated fatherhood groups and forums on social media platforms. Partnerships with health care centers, child care centers, and parenting forums will boost marketing efforts. We will also use retargeting strategies and content marketing to maintain communication with current customers and create potential leads.
VIII. Funding Request
We need an initial funding of $100

Need 300 words on the importance to documenting history in relation to the future
|
Documenting history holds immense importance in shaping our understanding of the past and consequently directing the progression of the future. It provides a vivid map of past occurrences, enabling us to delve into our ancestors' lives, their accomplishments, struggles, cultures, victories, and trials. These lessons from the past, when documented meticulously, allow us to understand the world as it is today and provide valuable lessons for how progress can and should be undertaken for our future.
Contemporary society is indubitably a product of the countless events, people, discoveries, and philosophies that have preceded it. History, therefore, plays a crucial role in understanding our origins, struggles, advancements, and triumphs that have brought us where we are today. Numerous political systems, societal structures, and economic models that exist today derived inspiration from past societies. Informed decisions can only be made when they are grounded in reality, and a thorough understanding of history often forms that grounding reality.
Moreover, documented history holds the power to promote empathy, cultural competence, and global understanding. It provides us with the context necessary to address present-day social, political, economic, and cultural issues more effectively. By studying the errors and atrocities of the past, we learn to tread more cautiously and make more ethical and informed decisions, avoid repeating mistakes and prevent further harm in the present and the future.
In essence, documenting history aids us in forming a cogent identity, both as individuals and as societies, and offers us a foundation on which we can build and prepare for the future. In a rapidly changing world often fraught with conflicts and uncertainty, history serves as the compass guiding us towards a better tomorrow.
Ultimately, the concrete recording of history is paramount to preserving the legacy of our ancestors for understanding our collective roots, growth, crises, and achievements. It extrapolates the human ability to learn from the past and fosters an improved future. Thus, documenting history is not merely the preservation of the past; it is a significant investment in the future.

3 / 3Write a funny, interesting, inspiring poem for Women's Day.

Celebrate, lift your glass way up high,
Here’s to women, reaching for the sky,
Navigating a world, where they’re often second guessed,
And still nailing it daily; it’s simply the best.
Scientists, teachers, or in arts they create,
Politicians, athletes, their impact's truly great.
Working, mothering, or both in hand,
Multitasking queens, across every land.
Women, oh women, in their fantastic array,
Each with her sparkle, making brighter the day.
Bearing the torch for those who come next,
Leaving a path that's empowering, not vexed.
They wear many hats, so revered, yet so cool,
By classroom rules, or when they rule the school.
Guiding generations, with the softest touch,
Oh, our world needs women's might so much!
They are brave, compassionate, both sassy and smart,
The backbone, the heartbeat, the absolute heart.
Let's lift our glasses, let's give them their turn,
For every woman’s fire that continues to burn.
On this Women’s Day, let us all be inspired,
By their fierce resilience, forever admired.
World changing Wonder Women in every way,
Cheers and applause on this Women's Day.
So, celebrate the women, be they near or far,
Here's to you ladies, you're the brightest star.
Remember, you're incredible, in every which way,
Happy International Women's Day, I say!

Why did the building of a pipeline have to be voted on by the government(USA)? Doesn't this infringe on government interfering with private corporations?<br>
|
Projects like pipelines often require government approval because they cross multiple jurisdictions, may impact the environment, and can involve the use of eminent domain, which is the power of the government to take private property and convert it into public use.
In the case of pipelines, for example, they often cross state and sometimes international borders. Thus, they involve legal, regulatory, and environmental issues that fall under government jurisdiction.
Furthermore, pipelines can have significant environmental impacts, which governments regulate. They may transect sensitive habitats, put water supplies at risk, contribute to climate change, and raise other environmental concerns. Governments are tasked with protecting public resources and the environment, thus they need to evaluate these potential impacts.
Finally, pipelines may require the use of eminent domain, particularly when they span large distances. In these cases, they could need to pass through private property and the entities building them may need to acquire property rights.
This doesn't necessarily infringe on the rights of private corporations. Instead, it seeks to balance these rights with the responsibilities governments have towards people and the environment. Government regulation of large infrastructure projects, like pipelines, is necessary because of their potential to impact citizens' lives, the environment, and even relationships with other countries.

i assume you are familiar with the Drake equation. Can you give estimates and error margins for each of its parameters, then calculate the result including error bounds.
|
The Drake Equation is an attempt to estimate the number of advanced civilizations in the Milky Way. It's important to note that most of its variables are extremely uncertain, and that's why this equation is more of a theoretical framework to stimulate scientific dialogue rather than a definitive answer.
Let's look at its parameters:
1. The rate of formation of stars suitable for the development of intelligent life, R* - A moderate estimate might be 1/year.
2. The fraction of those stars with planetary systems, Fp - Observations from the Kepler space mission suggests around 50%, so let's say 0.5 (error margin: +/-0.1).
3. The number of planets, per solar system, with an environment suitable for life, Ne - This is more speculative. If we look at our own solar system, we could say anywhere from 1 to 3, but keep in mind this is very anthropocentric, so let's say 1 in this context (error margin: +/-1).
4. The fraction of suitable planets on which life actually appears, Fl - We only have an example of one planet (Earth), so let's say 1 for simplicity (error margin up to +/-1 considering we can't be sure of other planets).
5. The fraction of life bearing planets on which intelligent life emerges, Fi - Again, very speculative, let's assume 0.01 as there are many steps from life to intelligent life (error margin: +/-0.01).
6. The fraction of civilizations that develop a technology that releases detectable signs of their existence into space, Fc - We can observe ourselves and argue for 1, however, due to unknown factors, let's use a conservative approximately 0.01 to account for civilizations who might not choose or succeed to do so (error margin: +/-0.01).
7. The length of time such civilizations release detectable signals into space, L - This is perhaps the most uncertain. Given human history, we could say maybe 100 years. We've been broadcasting for about that long, and we don't know how long we'll continue (error margin: +/-1000 years, to account for civilizations that could have longer or shorter spans).
If you multiply all these numbers together, you get the expected number of civilizations. Given our gross estimates, the equation yields something in the ballpark of (1/year)(0.5)(1)(1)(0.01)(0.01)(100 years) = 0.0005 civilizations,

Summarize this:<br><br>Don't Chase Money, Chase Your Purpose, The Money Will Follow - KERWIN RAE - YouTube<br>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gmhB2qKcB1o<br><br>Transcript:<br>(00:00) when you have the ability to raise people's energy you know to a level where they feel better about themselves they will break down doors they were climb through windows they'll break through walls in order to spend time with you all you need then as a billing system it's not how much money you make it's how you make your money so I've had businesses where I've made millions of dollars but I wasn't doing what I loved so I wasn't happy when I first got into business when I first had the desiring<br>(00:20) and businesses because I want to have money because I grew up in an environment or I didn't have a lot of money and so when I started making money for the first time all the voids that I thought I had as a result of the absence of money started to get filled but what happened was the voids that were underlying that were really there like the true insecurities they started to become more apparent and what I started realizes the more money I made the more insecure I was becoming because all I was doing was putting band-aids on you<br>(00:45) know on on chafe skin I wasn't actually going into and and fixing the real issues at heart I guess it comes down to defining what success means to you like in the early stages to me success was money orientated and when I was in the pursuit of money and I wasn't making and I used to question myself all the time is am I really cut out to be successful but when I finally made that shift when I finally suddenly I understand that success is the pursuit of purpose you know success is the expression of purpose you know and once you get to do<br>(01:12) that then you realize that no matter how you do it you're succeeding you know so for me once I made the transition from being money focus to thing purpose focus it was you know it's quite an easy it wasn't it was an easy transition from there and from there it was more about you know developing a healthy relationship with failure because to me your relationship with failure is just as important as your relationship sorry relationship with success is just as important as your relationship with failure because you know success is one<br>(01:36) of those things depending on how you define it that not everybody achieves on a consistent basis okay so they often assume that you know I once I meet the one it'll be amazing but they keep on meeting all these people in between that don't make them feel that way because I don't really have a relationship with what success is because they've never really spent much time with success but one of the things that a lot of us do is we spend a lot of time with failure because everybody fails it's to say<br>(01:58) that's how we grow that's how we learn but what I find really curious is people's relationship with failure and what does failure mean to people because to most people they don't realize that failure is nothing more than it's nothing more than a signpost it's a requirement to identify skills knowledge and experience gaps that need to be filled in order for it to achieve success but most people look at success in isolation of failure whereas for me they're one and the same and if anything the six the pursuit of<br>(02:21) success to me is the pursuit of failure intelligently how do you pursue you know skills knowledge and experience how do you pursue activities in a way that identify skills knowledge and experience gaps in a way that gives you what is required so that you can get one step closer to your goals and I think when most people fail they look at it as something as bad but look that something is wrong and not realize that failure is actually the essential ingredient in order to succeed and but it's that relationship with when when people fail<br>(02:46) you know what is that first instinct what does it mean does it mean it's a good things that mean is a bad thing for me yeah being able to reframe failing out in every moment regardless of the context of situation that's critical you know I think it's fair to say that regardless of your pursuit you're not going to get financial rewards in most cases really solid financial always for at least the first you know three to five years and so for me that's where the best piece of advice I can give<br>(03:09) anyone is to pursue what you love because if you're pursuing money you're gonna you know you got your your your temperament your mood you know your your feelings will be governed by how much money people are giving to you in any moment and when you're an entrepreneur especially starting out people don't want to give you money you know and so for me you know when you start to develop a relationship with what it isn't you're here to do then the rewards are just they come with your making<br>(03:34) money or not so the more connected we are to purpose the easier it is for us to express that potential do what is it we love and the rewards there in the activity not in the river if not in the consequence so for me a piece of advice that I do it will give on top of those focus on the things that as a natural consequence produce what it is you're looking for you know when you focus on money and what the behavioral science tells us people would focus on money eight times more likely to engage in deceit deception and fraud<br>(03:58) related behavior because they're focusing on money whereas what I prefer to do is to focus on the activity or that which in my case is the purpose the expression of purpose done in a really sound and intelligent commercial way that is a natural consequence produce money so as a result I don't have to focus on money I just focused on delivering value in a commercially intelligent way and the money takes care of itself and so I'm therefore you know my decision-making my decision-making process is never<br>(04:25) compromised by someone waving a dollar bill in front of me it's it's always going to be governed by the things that are actually genuinely important to me because delivering value when we need to live a value in in a commercially intelligent way you can't help but make money and I was it was Stewart Wall who wrote the book the trick to money is having some when you have the ability to raise people's energy you know to a level where they feel better about themselves they will break down doors<br>(04:50) they'll climb through windows they'll break through walls in order to spend time with you all you need then as a billing system [Music] you [Music]<br>

In this YouTube video, Kerwin Rae emphasizes the importance of chasing your purpose rather than money. Rae shares that when he focused solely on financial success, he found himself unsatisfied and insecure. However, after shifting his focus to pursuing his purpose, he found success. He asserts that both your relationship with success and failure is important, as they are intertwined and failure is a signpost that points out gaps in your skills and knowledge that you need to fill to succeed. Furthermore, he mentions that financial rewards typically don't start coming in until three to five years into a venture and one's mindset should not be dictated by money, but by the enjoyment and fulfillment of pursuing a dream or a purpose. Lastly, Rae suggested that delivering value in a commercially intelligent way naturally produces money.

what are african governments doing to improve air traffic connectivity
|
1. Resource Investment: African governments are investing more resources into aviation infrastructure. This includes the modernization and expansion of existing airports and the building of new ones. These actions are aimed at increasing the capacity of airports to handle more aircraft and passengers, which might improve air traffic connectivity.
2. Regulatory Reforms: African governments are implementing reforms to liberalize the aviation sector. The Single African Air Transport Market (SAATM), an initiative by the African Union to form a unified aviation market, is one example. The overall goal is to enhance connectivity, facilitate trade and tourism, create employment, and ensure sustained growth.
3. Advanced Technology: Governments are adopting new technology to help manage air traffic more efficiently. This includes advanced air traffic management systems, which can ensure the safe and swift movement of aircraft on the ground and in the air.
4. Training and Capacity Building: There is increased focus on training aviation professionals to ensure they possess the required skills and knowledge. It includes air traffic controllers, flight crew, airport operators, and aviation safety inspectors.
5. Cooperation with Other Countries and Organizations: African governments are strengthening cooperation with other countries and international organizations like International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO). This is to gain technical support and share best practices aimed at improving air traffic connectivity.
6. Establishing New Airlines: Some African Governments like Nigeria and Uganda have started national carriers to boost air connectivity between domestic and international destinations.
7. Privatization: Some African countries are also involving private players in managing airports and airlines, which has seen improvements in the standards and efficiency.
8. Implementing Safety and Security Measures: Governments are working to improve the safety and security of their aviation sectors, as these are critical factors in attracting international airlines and boosting connectivity.
Overall, there's a wide recognition across Africa that improved air traffic connectivity can contribute to economic growth and development. However, challenges like high operating costs, limited access to capital, and regulatory constraints still exist.

Write a pitch for a horror movie that plays on the island Sylt in northern germany in the 19th century. Include fishermen and a sinister force that drives the inhabitants insane.
|
Title: "The Cursed Catch: Shadows of Sylt"
Transport yourself to the eerie tranquility of Sylt, a secluded island in Northern Germany during the 19th century. Life is harsh but simple for the island's robust fishing community, carefully unraveling the sea's harvest each dawn—an existence as relentless as the tides. But beneath the calm cadence of island life lurks a sinister force in "The Cursed Catch: Shadows of Sylt."
When a mysterious, dark object becomes ensnared in the local fishermen's nets, the tight-knit community begins to crumble under the weight of an insidious evil. As the strange artifact is passed around, malicious hallucinations envelop the island, driving its inhabitants to the brink of madness. The object's poison seeps into the minds and hearts of Sylt's people, twisting their perceptions and turning neighbor against neighbor.
The island's elder, a grizzled seafarer with ancestral knowledge of the ocean's unseen depths, recognizes the object as an ancient talisman cursed by the gods of the deep. Understanding its malignant hold on his people, he rallies a group of reluctant fishermen to embark on a perilous journey to return the talisman to the sea and halt the escalating insanity.
The film is rife with foreboding atmosphere, instantly transporting you into the desolate beauty of Sylt and its slowly eroding reality. As evil creeps across the island, viewers are plunged into a relentless tide of psychological horror. The normally tranquil fishing community becomes a nightmarish landscape from which there seems to be no escape.
"The Cursed Catch: Shadows of Sylt" is an unsettling descent into the darkness of human madness set against the brooding backdrop of the cold Northern seas; a reminder that our world is never safe from what lurks beneath its waters. Delve into the unraveled mind of a haunted island and experience a true psychological thriller like no other.

I want to open the developler tools in chrome with ctrl + shift + i on this website: https://mnsw.pro/
It doesnt work. works on other websites. even here. what is wrong?
|
The developer tools on Google Chrome can be disabled by a JavaScript code. The website you are trying to inspect (https://mnsw.pro/) most probably uses a script to disable the Chrome developer tools so that users cannot inspect the website code.
This is something that a website may implement for various reasons, usually related to security. However, disabling Chrome developer tools does not provide full protection, as there are still other ways to inspect the website code.
It's important to respect website owners' decisions to secure their site as they see fit. Disabling dev tools is a clear signal they do not want their front-end code inspected. So, even if it is technically possible to bypass this restriction, keep in mind it might not be ethical or legal to do so.

what are the important points for brand promotion and brand marketing
|
1. Know Your Brand: Before you promote your brand, you should understand what it stands for, its values, ethos, and the message it wants to communicate. This will help you to create a consistent brand message.
2. Identify Target Audience: Knowing who your target audience is crucial. Understand their needs, preferences, and behavior to create tailored branding strategies.
3. Brand Consistency: Consistency is crucial when it comes to branding. All marketing material and communications should be uniform in style, tone, and messaging to create a consistent brand image.

5. Brand Visibility: Ensure your brand is seen in as many places as possible, both online and offline. Use logos, taglines, and colors consistently for easy recognition.
6. Social Media Presence: Nowadays, social media platforms are crucial for promoting your brand. It's not just about having a presence but also about being active and engaging with your audience.
7. Content Marketing: Creating valuable and relevant content can boost your brand's visibility and establish it as an authority in the field.
8. Influencer Marketing: Collaborating with influencers can be beneficial for brand promotion. Their followers trust their judgment, and an endorsement could increase your brand's reach and credibility.
9. Promote Brand Advocates: Encourage satisfied customers to share their positive experiences. Word-of-mouth marketing is powerful and can increase brand popularity organically.
10. Measure Success: All promotional activities should be tracked and measured. The use of analytics will help determine the success of your campaign and guide future strategies.
11. Regular Reassessment: Brand promotions need to be reassessed regularly to adapt to changing market trends and customer behaviors.
12. Personalization: Personalizing your brand communications for specific audience segments can significantly improve engagement and loyalty.

What niches are not being fulfilled on the YouTube platform?
|
1. Elderly-Focused Tech Education: While there are many tech and gadget tutorials on YouTube, not many are focused on catering to the specific needs of the elderly demographic who may require simplified explanations and slower pacing.
2. Mental Health for Men: Discussing the importance and awareness of mental health for men is not widely seen on YouTube. An open and honest conversation can breakdown stigmas associated with male mental health.
3. Virtual Reality: Though growing, videos that utilize Virtual Reality (VR) or Augmented Reality (AR) technologies are still few. As these technologies become more mainstream, the demand for such videos will likely rise.
4. YouTube for Kids: A channel purely dedicated to kid-friendly content that is educational yet entertaining can find good growth prospects.
5. Environmental Education: Videos that cover a range of topics from climate change to conservation might interest eco-conscious viewers.
6. Authentic Indigenous Cultures: Showcasing the history, stories, rituals, and cultures of indigenous people from around the world can fill an educational cultural niche.
7. Sustainable Living Guides: Examples and guides on how to live both sustainably and affordably can be a niche to consider.
8. Deeper Analysis of Music: While plenty of reaction videos exist, not many delve into analysis of lyrics, music composition, historical context, etc.
9. Foreign Language Movies/Shows Review: A channel devoted to review and breakdown foreign language content can bring global cinema closer.
10. Minority Languages Learning: Learning videos of 'endangered' or less commonly spoken languages are not widely available.
Remember, success on YouTube is not just about finding a low competition niche; it's about finding a niche that you are passionate about and can consistently create content for.

in billiards what happens if on the break every strip ball is pocketed?
|
If on the break every striped ball is pocketed, a very rare occurrence, the game continues with the player who broke continuing to shoot at the solids. The group is not determined by the balls pocketed on the break, but rather by the first ball pocketed after the break. The player would need to pocket a solid ball to officially claim that group.

what would you change to this cover letter and why cover letter Dear Sir or Madam,
I am writing in reference to the internship SEO specialist position that you have posted. I believe that I have the skills and qualifications that you are looking for and I would like to be considered for the role. Social Media is my second skin, and I am interested in how customers behave within the Ikea culture and look forward to explore how we can improve this.
Introducing myself as a motivated, self-directed, and enthusiastic first-year economics student. Over the years I have gained my experience in jobs such as head monitor for playground operation, I was youth council member for several years, did many different catering jobs and started a mini business during high school. I speak Dutch and French fluently and have a good knowledge of English.
My positive attitude and social, inquisitive character have brought me where I am today and gave me the experience needed so far. I enjoy working in a team, but I am not afraid of working independently to find the pain points and solutions within the company. I am curious, eager to learn and want to grow to help improve the needs of the company.
The Ikea mindset and statements like ‘live now’ and ‘design your own life’ are in line with my thoughts and close to my heart, so becoming a member of the Marketing and eCommerce team would be like a dream come true.
Thanks in advance for taking the time to read my application. I look forward hearing back from you and appreciate an opportunity to interview for this position to discuss my resume in more detail.
Hope to hear from you soon.
Sincerely,
|
[Your Name]
Here are my suggested revisions and reasons why:
1. Dear Hiring Manager instead of Dear Sir or Madam. This is more modern and less formal.
2. "In reference to the SEO Specialist Internship position" to be straightforward and more professional.
3. Remove "social media is my second skin" - it’s a bit casual and unclear. Instead, talk about your demonstrated interest, passion, or qualifications in social media.
4. Better flow: Instead of isolating your status as an economics student, you could say "I am a motivated and enthusiastic first-year economics student with a keen interest in SEO and digital marketing".
5. Streamline experience: Instead of listing jobs in a lengthy way, present this information in a more concise format. Be specific, which tasks taken in these jobs helped you acquire the skills needed for the role you're applying for.
6. Improve language proficiency statement: Instead of saying "good knowledge of English", make it more definite - "proficient in English".
7. Refine final pitch: The way you're highlighting your alignment with the company's values has to be more personal and convincing. You could say something like "I have always admired Ikea's customer-focused approach and its commitment to 'living now' and designing our own lives, and feel that working with the Marketing and eCommerce team would allow me to contribute to such outstanding culture further".
8. Conclude with a strong call to action: Instead of using "Hope to hear from you soon", you could say "I look forward to the opportunity of discussing my application with you in further detail".
Remember, the goal of a cover letter is to present yourself as the best candidate for the job. Make sure your experiences, skills, and alignment with the company culture are highlighted convincingly.

Where can I buy computer mouse base that can take different covers to it. I want to 3d print a custom cover for it and sell them
|
There isn't a specific product or platform in the market that sells a computer mouse base that can take different covers universally. However, you can try the following solutions:
1. You could reach out to computer mouse manufacturers directly to see if they would be willing to sell you the base.
2. Another approach is to buy a basic, cheap mouse and manually separate the cover from its base.
3. If you have coding and design skills, you can make use of open source hardware projects, such as the Arduino, and build a custom computer mouse base.
4. Lastly, a possible direction would be to design and 3D print a universal base or a selection of them to fit various existing mouse models along with the custom covers.
Bear in mind that if you plan on selling them, you must understand patent laws, licensing and branding issues, especially when dealing with major technology companies' products.
Before doing any of these, it is advisable to gain knowledge and proficiency in 3D design and CAD software in order to successfully print your custom covers.

#2. To increase the energy efficiency of windows, additional glass pane is added. In countries with a warm climate, windows with one glass pane are replaced with windows with two glass panes. Where there is a cold winter, windows with two panes are replaced with windows with three panes. Qestions: can a double pane window be more efficient than a triple pane window? Can a single pane window be more efficient than a double pane window? If yes, what is needed for this? Support your answer with appropriate calculations.
|
No, it is unlikely that a double pane window can be more efficient than a triple pane window, or that a single pane window can be more efficient than a double pane window.
Window energy efficiency, specifically thermal insulation, is generally improved by adding more panes because it can increase the thermal resistance and reduce the rate of heat loss. Each additional pane of glass traps more air, reducing the ability of heat to move freely between the warmer inside of a home and the colder outside. The trapped air acts as an insulator, preventing heat transfer and therefore improving energy efficiency.
Let's illustrate this with a simple example: Suppose we have three types of windows here: single pane, double pane, and triple pane window, having R-values of R1, R2 and R3 respectively. R-value is a measure of thermal resistance - higher the R-value, better the insulation.
Assuming that the glass panes are identical, the R-value of the double-pane window will be roughly twice that of the single pane because it has twice as much glass and an intervening space with trapped air. That is, R2 = 2 * R1. Similarly, the R-value of the triple-pane window will be thrice of the single-pane window i.e., R3 = 3 * R1.
In order for the double pane window to be more efficient than the triple pane, we'd need R2 > R3. Substituting the above values, we'd get 2 * R1 > 3 * R1. After simplification, this gives -R1 > 0, which is not possible as R-values are always positive.
A similar calculation can be done for the single pane and double pane windows. In order for the single-pane window to be more efficient than the double-pane, we'd need R1 > R2. Substituting the above values, we'd get R1 > 2 * R1. After simplification, this also gives -R1 > 0, which is again not possible.
So, in order to make a double pane window more efficient than a triple pane, or a single pane more efficient than a double, the glass or air gaps would need to have negative R-values, which is physically impossible.
Therefore, a double-pane window cannot be more efficient than a triple-pane window and a single-pane window cannot be more efficient than a double-pane window as long as other factors remain constant.
The only way to increase the efficiency of windows with fewer panes, compared to ones with

How does Kahane's ethics of violence echo that of Fanon and Zizek when discussing to the American Jewish Establishment?
|
Meir Kahane, Frantz Fanon, and Slavoj Zizek each discuss violence as a response to oppression and wrongdoing. While their perspectives stem from different socio-political contexts, there are echoes and overlaps in their positions.
Kahane, an American- Israeli rabbi known for his extremist Jewish nationalist views, led the Jewish Defense League (JDL) in the U.S. His formula – "Every Jew a .22." symbolized his advocacy for self-defense by any means necessary including violence. According to him, Jews should no longer be the “nice Jewish boys” who are expected to react passively under oppression.
Frantz Fanon, a philosopher from the French-colonial Caribbean, in his work "The Wretched of the Earth," argued that violence serves as a purifying force for colonized people to reclaim their humanity from oppressive powers. According to him, it emerges as an appropriate response to systematic violence inflicted upon them by colonial rule.
Slavoj Zizek, a Slovenian philosopher, asserts that violence may be necessary to overcome the systemic oppressions that are deeply embedded within socio-political structures. He speaks about "divine violence", a term borrowed from Walter Benjamin, which is unpredictable but necessary to break the cycle of systemic violence.
In terms of American Jewish Establishment, Kahane critiqued its acceptance of the status quo and passive response to anti-Semitic instances. These positions echo Fanon and Zizek in the sense that they are all critical of established systems that promote or perpetuate oppression and support the idea of using force, if necessary, to oppose it. However, it is also important to note that these perspectives have been controversial and widely critiqued for endorsing and romanticizing violence as a means to an end.

Rewrite the given introductory paragraph so that it starts with a pertinent anecdote. Also rewrite the thesis so that it is succinct and concise: "Many types of black people have different cultural backgrounds and experiences. For example, African and African American cultures share a common ancestry and history of struggles but have distinct cultural identities. While both groups are considered Black, they have different experiences, records, and cultural practices. As Saint Augustine said, “The world is a book, and those who do not travel read only a page.” This quote emphasizes the importance of exploring other cultures to understand their experiences better. As I have gotten older, I have come to understand the similarities and differences between these two individuals."
|
"While growing up immersed in an African American community, my friend Peter always identified as 'Black.' However, on a visit to his father's homeland in Nigeria, he discovered a vibrant culture uniquely different from his own American experience, shattering his singular perception of being 'Black.' This served as an eye-opening realization that 'Black' encapsulates a variety of cultural backgrounds and experiences. Just as Saint Augustine implied, the world is like a book, and to understand its intricacies, one must delve into various chapters. Using this lens, I have learned to appreciate multiple strands of 'Black' identities tangled together through shared ancestry and histories of struggles, yet radiating distinct cultural richness. As I evolve, I increasingly recognize the divergent experiences and identities that exist within the African and African American cultures."

explain TypeScript and Duck Typing
|
TypeScript is a statically typed superset of JavaScript that adds optional types, classes, and modules to the language. Developed and maintained by Microsoft, it extends JavaScript’s syntax to help developers write more complex applications. TypeScript is transcompiled to JavaScript, therefore JavaScript is valid TypeScript, and you can use any existing JavaScript library in TypeScript.
Duck Typing is a programming concept that determines type compatibility by checking if an object has certain properties or methods rather than comparing it against a specific type. The term is inspired by the phrase "If it looks like a duck, swims like a duck, and quacks like a duck, then it probably is a duck."
In TypeScript, Duck Typing is crucial in determining the compatibility of types, especially when dealing with objects and object literals. TypeScript enforces a structural type system where type checking focuses on the shape that values have. If two different types have the same structure (same properties and methods), TypeScript treats them as the same type and allows their interchangeability. This type compatibility based on structure conformance is what is referred to as "Duck Typing" in TypeScript.
For example, if there are two types, `TypeA` and `TypeB`, with structure `{name: string, age: number}`, even if the types are different, if you have an instance of `TypeA`, TypeScript would allow you to assign it to a variable of `TypeB` because they conform to the same structure. They both "look like a duck, swim like a duck, and quack like a duck". Therefore, TypeScript treats them as the same type.
An important thing to note about Duck Typing is that TypeScript uses the concept of "assignability" while performing type checking. Assignability allows for properties in the source that don't exist in the target, but not the other way round.

The book "Upstream" by Dan Heath deals with the concept of looking upstream to solve problems before they occur, rather than merely reacting downstream to the symptoms or consequences of those problems. The insights from the book can be instrumental in shaping the way social workers in Visalia Unified School District undertake their roles.
1. Proactive Problem Solving: One of the book's key insights is the importance of taking a proactive and preventative approach towards problem-solving rather than a reactive approach. Teachers, counselors, and social workers need to look for early warning signs of problems and intervene before they escalate.
2. Gathering Data: The book emphasizes how data plays a critical role in understanding the root cause of an issue. Social workers typically collect, gather, and analyze data about students, parents, and communities to identify potential problems and develop suitable interventions.
3. Collaboration: The importance of collaboration in upstream thinking is reiterated in the book. The social workers have the responsibility of collaborating with school personnel, parents, community agencies, and institutions for students' mental health and well-being, exemplifying "upstream" team collaboration.
4. Addressing Systemic Issues: Heath suggests that one cannot fix the problem merely by looking at the immediate issue. Understanding and addressing systemic issues to improve overall student performance is essential. The social worker serves as a catalyst to facilitate the problem-solving process that affects individuals, groups, institutions, and systems.
5. The Power of Small Wins: Heath stresses how important small wins are in gaining and maintaining momentum to tackle bigger issues. Social workers can use this strategy in their interactions with students, encouraging and recognizing small victories to build their confidence and resilience.
6. Understanding Barriers: The book also deals with understanding the systemic barriers that might be hindering progress. In the course of working with students, families, and communities, social workers may encounter such barriers. Recognizing and addressing these barriers can significantly enhance the effectiveness of their interventions.
7. Building Relationships: Heath draws attention to the importance of building strong relationships based on trust and mutual respect. As social workers, it is imperative to foster healthy relationships with students, their families, and within the communities they operate. Building such relationships is key to long-term effectiveness in social work.
Overall, "Upstream" offers many insights directly applicable to the role of school social workers, emphasizing the importance of early problem detection, data analysis, collaboration, addressing systemic issues, celebrating small wins, understanding barriers, and building relationships.

how are carbon fibers used in buildings
|
Carbon fibers are typically used in buildings for reinforcement purposes. They are applied in three primary ways:
1. Externally Bonded Reinforcement: The carbon fiber materials, usually in the form of fabric sheets or strips, are adhered to the external surfaces of a structural element. This approach is mainly used to enhance the load-bearing capacity, improve the durability, or correct design or construction errors of existing structures.
2. Near-Surface Mounted Reinforcement: In this method, grooves are cut into the concrete and the carbon fiber materials are placed into these grooves and adhered with an epoxy. It is typically used to increase the flexural or shear capacities of the structural element.
3. Fabric-Reinforced Cementitious Matrix (FRCM): In this system, the carbon fiber fabric is adhered to the structure with an inorganic cementitious matrix. This is beneficial in environments where a resistance to high temperatures or fire is necessary.
Carbon fiber reinforcement can be used in a wide array of applications including strengthening of bridges, buildings, tunnels, and other infrastructures. It provides a much lighter, stronger, and more adaptable alternative than traditional reinforcements like steel.

Please summarise in point form "Challenges for
African Agriculture" by Jean-Claude Devèze
|
- African agriculture faces severe challenges due to rapid population growth that is expected to double by 2050.
- There is a growing urgency to increase agricultural productivity to meet the increasing food demand.
- Climate change is exacerbating challenges for African agriculture, leading to more erratic rainfall, water scarcity, and extreme heat conditions, which detrimentally affect crop yield.
- Small-scale farming is prevalent in Africa, accounting for 80% of all farms, which often results in low production due to lack of access to modern farming methods and technologies.
- Poor rural infrastructure impedes access to markets, thereby limiting income-generating opportunities and hindering the growth of agriculture-based economy.
- Policy constraints, such as lack of supportive agricultural policies and investment, contribute to the slow progress in enhancing agricultural productivity.
- African agriculture is threatened by pests and diseases that destroy crops and livestock. Some pests, such as fall armyworm, are transboundary and require regional coordination for effective control.
- A lack of reliable and accessible agricultural data makes it difficult to design effective interventions for boosting agricultural development.
- Agricultural innovation, such as use of bio-technology and genetic improvements, is slow or absent in many African countries, limiting agricultural growth.
- Tenure rights issues and unequal land distribution contribute to conflicts and insecurity, further worsening the plight of African farmers.
- The book argues that overcoming these challenges requires integrated strategies involving government agencies, farmers, and non-governmental entities, with particular attention given to women and youth.

how much of a threat is climate change in the coming years, and what should we do to stop it?
|
Climate change is considered one of the major threats to mankind in the coming years. The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) states that global temperatures are likely to rise by 1.5 degrees Celsius between 2030 and 2052 if it continues to increase at the current rate.
The impacts of climate change aren't just physical; they can also have grave socioeconomic implications, including:
1. Higher average temperatures and more frequent and extreme weather events like floods, droughts and hurricanes which can cause loss of life and property.
2. Rise in sea levels can lead to displacement of people living in coastal regions.
3. Damage to infrastructure and the economy.
4. Increased spread of diseases due to warmer climates favoring growth and reproduction of disease-causing vectors, pests and pathogens.
5. Agricultural destabilization due to unpredictable weather patterns, leading to food insecurity.
To combat climate change, we must undertake the following measures:
1. Reduce Greenhouse Gas Emissions: The focus should be on cutting down emissions from all sectors including energy, transport, buildings, industry, land use, and city planning.
2. Transition to Renewable Energy: Adoption of solar, wind, hydroelectric, and other renewable sources of energy while reducing reliance on fossil fuels.
3. Improve Energy Efficiency: Implement energy-efficient practices in homes, workplaces, and transportation.
4. Protect and Restore Ecosystems: Forests, oceans, and other ecosystems play a major role in mitigating climate change by absorbing carbon dioxide. Protecting these ecosystems, reforestation, and afforestation can increase the earth’s capacity to absorb CO2.
5. Change Dietary Habits: A shift towards plant-based diets can significantly lower the carbon footprint.
6. Encourage Sustainable Practices: Promote recycling, waste management and sustainable agricultural practices.
7. Government Policies: Governments should draft and implement policies promoting clean energy, penalizing pollution, and supporting climate change research.
8. Public Awareness and Education: Increase public awareness and understanding of climate change and its effects.
It's also important to remember that international cooperation is critical when it comes to addressing climate change. Since it's a global issue, it requires a global response.

Why does it feel like less effort to watch 3 - hour long TV episodes back to back than a film?
|
Our perception of time and effort required for watching TV shows vs. films could be impacted by several factors:
1. Serial Narratives: TV shows are often designed in a serial manner, where one episode connects to another. The suspense and anticipation created at the end of each episode can make us eager to jump to the next one, making it feel like less effort.
2. Mini Breaks: Watching TV episodes provides opportunities for mini-breaks between episodes. Even if this only lasts for a few seconds (the duration of the end credits, perhaps), it is a mental break and a chance to do something else briefly. Movies tend to require consistent focus for a longer period of time.
3. Shorter Story Arcs: Each episode of a TV show may contain its own self-contained story within the larger season arc. This can provide a feeling of accomplishment or closure more frequently than a film, which typically only has one climax and conclusion.
4. Less Emotional Investment: Movies typically require a higher level of emotional investment all at once. We're supposed to understand characters and their situations in a very brief amount of time, as opposed to television series where character arcs are spread out over several episodes or seasons. This consumable format of smaller doses makes it seem less effortful.
5. Familiarity and Consistency: If watching a TV series, we are usually already familiar with the characters, their behaviors, and the environment; hence, it's less mentally taxing than a movie, where everything is often new and requires more of our attention and processing power.
6. More Passive Viewing: Many view TV shows more passively, i.e., multitasking, since they often do not require constant, undivided attention. This isn't always the case with movies, which can make them feel more demanding.

Findings from Jumping Monkey Hill (Story #1)
Please respond to the following questions/prompts below. Be thoughtful, thorough, and specific.
What were THREE motifs that were found to be present in this story? Please state the motif, cite the specific passage that you marked in support of said motif, and provide an explanation for how the evidence fits.
If you were to choose a key concept or two that you felt were present in this story, what were they, and why?
For example: American Dream/Disillusionment motif: "You thought everybody in America had a car and a gun; your uncles and aunts and cousins thought so, too. Right after you won the American visa lottery, they told you: In a month, you will have a big car. Soon, a big house. But don't buy a gun like those Americans" (Adichie 115). Explanation: This supports the disillusionment of the American Dream motif because clearly not everybody in America has a big car, a big house, and in particular carries or owns a gun. Quite the contrary. Nevertheless, many people from around the world still believe these things are automatic for anyone who is fortunate enough to move to America in pursuit of what they believe is part of the American Dream.
|
Motif 1: Colonialism and Neocolonialism.
Passage: "The man who makes us call him by an initial because we cannot easily pronounce his German surname has told us that Africa is to his publishers what India is to Americans: hot, poor, political, timeless, and full of color" (Adichie 115).
Explanation: This demonstrates the motif of colonialism and neocolonialism as it illustrates how the Western world tends to exoticize, simplify, and dictate the narratives of Africa. The character's comment reflects a Western perspective of Africa as inferior and stagnant, highlighting a lingering colonial mindset.
Motif 2: Struggle for Authenticity.
Passage: "They have planned to write about weighty things: poverty and corruption and civil war and dictatorship. But it is all wrong. They should be telling simple stories, love stories for instance, set in scanty rural villages, not stories about civil wars that could offend because they might be critical of governments." (Adichie 119).
Explanation: The writer's struggle for authenticity in their work is a repeated motif in the story. They are being pressured to write stereotypical African narratives that conform to Western expectations, rather than exploring complex, political or divisive issues relevant to their experiences. This struggle encapsulates the tension between the desire for creativity or individual expression and the external pressures or constraints imposed by society.
Motif 3: Gender and Sexuality.
Passage: "And Ujunwa was thinking about a story she would write, about a woman who lived in a pineapple-shaped house. The woman was not homosexual because Ujunwa had decided not to write about homosexuals whose lives were sad, sordid, and shamed, as she had just been told homosexuals were." (Adichie 123).
Explanation: The story explores issues of gender and sexuality, particularly in relation to societal expectations and constraints. Ujunwa's conscious decision not to write about homosexuality in negative terms challenges ingrained prejudices and norms. It highlights how people may struggle to honestly represent or live their sexual identities due to societal pressure or discrimination.
Key Concepts: One key concept present in this story is the power dynamics present in storytelling. The story effectively demonstrates how narratives can be controlled, manipulated, and influenced by those in positions of power. This is seen in how the European organizers control the direction and content of the African writers' stories.
Another central concept present is the tension between self-expression and societal expectation, particularly relevant to gender, sexuality, and

What are the wavelengths of light emitted by metals depending on their temperature?
|
The wavelength of light emitted by metals (or any object) is determined by its temperature according to Planck’s law. As a metal heats up, the light it emits shifts from longer, redder wavelengths to shorter, bluer wavelengths. Specifically, the peak wavelength of emitted light (λmax) is given by Wien's Displacement Law: λmax = b/T , where b is a constant (2.898 x 10^-3 m*K), and T is the object's absolute temperature in Kelvin.
However, the metal will emit a range of wavelengths, the distribution of which rounds off with a peak and then quickly drops off at shorter wavelengths. This distribution curve is described by Planck's Law.
At low temperatures, metals will not emit light visible to the human eye. As the temperature increases, they will start to glow red (longer wavelength, lower frequency), then orange, yellow, white (mixture of many colors), and then blue-white (shorter wavelength, higher frequency) at very high temperatures.
Please, keep in mind that these explanations are based on ideal black body radiation. Actual metals may behave slightly differently due to various factors like surface conditions, chemical composition etc.

Pretend for argumentsake you are lawyer defending putin cite your case
|
Ladies and Gentlemen of the Jury,
I stand before you today in the defense of my client, Mr. Vladimir Putin, the President of the Russian Federation. I understand that the prevailing image of Mr. Putin in the global spectrum may not be favorable due to various pre-conceived notions, media portrayals, and political tensions. However, one must separate the individual from the state he or she represents, and herein lays the basis of my defense.
Firstly, let's address the fundamental premise of our legal system: the presumption of innocence until proven guilty. This revered principle applies to every individual, even those in positions of global power such as Mr. Putin. It is not just for us to pass judgment based on emotional bias or unverifiable hearsay. Hard facts and concrete evidence are the necessary bars to meet in this courtroom. So far, none of that has been met in any charges placed against Mr. Putin.
Many accusations made against Mr. Putin revolve around policies or actions of the Russian state. My client, while the leader, does not singularly represent every action taken by his country. The Russian Federation, like any other nation, has multiple branches of government, decision-making bodies, and tens of thousands of bureaucrats, all contributing to the churn of the state machinery, with checks and balances. To lay the blame of every decision on one individual is a simplistic, and thus flawed view of nuanced geopolitics.
There have been allegations surrounding lack of democracy in Russia. However, the democratic process is a constantly evolving one, shaped by the cultural, historical, and socioeconomic factors of a region. It is critical to understand that every country has its path towards progress and its standards to uphold, so calling out Russia's governance as 'undemocratic' by comparing it with other Western nations is ethnocentric bias, which is fundamentally unjust.
As the president, Mr. Putin has achieved considerable progress. Under his leadership, Russia's GDP per capita has grown significantly, he brought stability following the tumultuous Yeltsin era, amplified Russia's global influence, and successfully addressed several internal issues like separatist movements. So, while criticism is warranted in any democracy, we can't undermine the positive developments that have taken place under his leadership.
We also must be wary of the global political climate – it is a stage fraught with bias and agenda. This bias can taint the available information and thus warp our perceptions. Our job here is to see through that cloud, to question the sources of our information, and to think critically about

Sarcoidosis is like having tiny clumps of sand-like stuff, we call them "granulomas", showing up in different parts of your body where they shouldn't be, like in your lungs or eyes. When too many of these clumps appear they can get in the way of how these parts of your body should work. Some people might feel really tired or have a fever, while others might not have any signs that they are sick. Doctors have different ways to try to make these clumps disappear, sometimes with medicines.

Is it rational to believe things for which there is no objective evidence?
|
Rationality typically involves reasoning based on evidence and logic. However, people often believe in things for which there is no clear objective evidence, such as moral values, spiritual beliefs, or subjective experiences. These beliefs may still be considered rational if they are internally consistent and serve a useful function for the individual, such as providing comfort or a sense of purpose.
However, believing in something without objective evidence also opens one to the possibility of self-deception or believing in false things. Hence, while it may be human to hold such beliefs, whether it's rational or not may depend on the specific context and the potential consequences of the belief. Some philosophers argue that it is completely rational to believe in things without objective evidence, especially when the issue at hand is more about personal truths and subjective experiences. Others stick to a stricter definition of rationality based on objective evidence and logical consistency.
In conclusion, the question asks for an opinion, and is subjective. Different people may have different views on this.

|
The Dungeon Master (DM) generally keeps information like an enemy's Armor Class (AC) secret, so only they can definitively answer whether an attack roll hits or not. However, based on the Monster Manual, a Yugoloth's AC typically ranges from 14 to 20, depending on its type. Therefore, a roll of 24 would generally hit any type of Yugoloth. But, keep in mind, factors such as cover, spells, or the DM's custom modifications could alter the AC.

He wants to keep his old car until he can buy the secondhand one.<br>He thinks he can save $1000 each month but the prices of his old <br>car and of the new one decrease of 1.5 percent per month.<br>Furthermore this percent of loss increases of `0.5` percent <br>Our man finds it difficult to make all these calculations.<br>Can you help him?<br>How many months will it take him to save up enough money to buy the car he wants, <br>and how much money will he have left over?
|
To solve this problem, we will use a while loop in python.
This is the code:
```python
def solve():
old_car_price = 2000
new_car_price = 8000
savings = 1000
percent_loss = 1.5
months = 0
while old_car_price + months * savings < new_car_price:
months += 1
if months % 2 == 0:
percent_loss += 0.5
old_car_price -= old_car_price * percent_loss / 100
new_car_price -= new_car_price * percent_loss / 100
return months, -(old_car_price + months * savings - new_car_price)
```
If we run function solve() it gives output: `49, 330.9426190335218`.
So the answer is, our man will have to save up for 49 months. And he will have $330.94 left over.

1. Hosting a Shabbat Dinner: The synagogue can arrange for a Shabbat dinner where all the community members can gather, eat together and understand the meaning and rituals of Shabbat.
2. Shabbat Learning Sessions: Conduct interactive learning sessions for children and adults where they can learn about the history, significance, and laws of Shabbat. This way, they will understand the importance of observing Shabbat.
3. Create a Community-Driven Shabbat Guide: Develop a guide that provides step by step instructions on how to prepare for Shabbat at home. This guide can cover everything from candle lighting, kiddush, and havdalah.
4. Online Shabbat Service Streaming: For members who are unable to make it to the synagogue, ensure that there's an option for them to still participate virtually. This will also allow people who are home-bound to feel more connected to the community.
5. Shabbat Kiddush Sponsorship: Encourage families to sponsor the Shabbat Kiddush. This could be to celebrate a birthday, anniversary, or in memory of a loved one. This way, families would have a personal and emotional connection to Shabbat observance.
6. Volunteer Program: Start a volunteer program where community members can help others in observing Shabbat. It could be helping the elderly or disability community in preparing for Shabbat, thereby promoting inclusion and fostering a strong community spirit.
7. Shabbat Ritual Workshops: Organize workshops and weekly classes to teach people different Shabbat rituals such as candle lighting, prayers, recitation of blessings etc.
8. Family Shabbat Programs: Design programs that encourage all family members to participate together in Shabbat. This would include games, activities, discussions, and teachings based around the theme of Shabbat.
9. Encourage Hosting Shabbat Meals: Encourage the community members to host Shabbat meals at their homes and invite other community members to foster a sense of familiarity and warmth.
10. Honouring Shabbat Observers: Recognize and honour those who regularly observe Shabbat with a token of appreciation in community gatherings. This might inspire others to do the same.
11. Shabbat Buddy System: Create a buddy system where a new family or individual is paired with an experienced Shabbat observer. This will create a personal relationship and provide comfortable guidance for those that are new to the practice.
12. Promote Shabbat: Use social media, newsletters,

Rewrite this text in 500 words: "There’s much that divides us in Northern Ireland though one thing is guaranteed to bring us together: local phrases. Call it slang, call it colloquialisms, we all know only too well how important words are to where we’re from . . . and when it comes to the phrases that make us ‘us,’ we’ve got a lot to say.
While you don’t need advance knowledge of the words to fit in, well, it helps. How else will you know where ‘foundered’ sits on the scale of warm to freezing? Or deciding whether that new car purchase is more ‘clinker’ than ‘beezer’? Or appreciating that ‘grand’ can mean exactly that or anything but?
If the best way to get to know a nation is to understand their language, then surely tourists must be at times confused about what comes out of our mouths. Throughout the island of Ireland, we have utterly brilliant ways to verbally express ourselves.
“I think it’s really important,” says Dr Frank Ferguson, research director for English Language and Literature at Ulster University, about the vitality of slang as part of language.
“I think sometimes we’re not sure even the meaning of slang and the meaning of the vernacular and the colloquial. Especially for Northern Ireland, where language is often so divisive, we forget how a rich and varied it is. And sometimes we find other places in the world that really value the mix of their language.
“Often the things that we associate with slang are actually part of the sort of the languages that make up what we think of as English because we have this wonderful mixture of English, Scots language, and Irish, all bubbling up together and then you have the additions on that, of slang,” he continues.
“Slang as a sort of term that’s used by certain groups to denote certain things through phrases.
“We have an incredible mix and you think how small in many ways Northern Ireland is, that there are marked differences in the language that Belfast uses and the language that’s used up in Derry. There are gradation and the usage of words and phrases that we often take for granted but they’re really quite amazing things.”
“It’s a potentially massive term,” says Gail McConnell, a writer from Belfast on slang which she says transcends distinctions of high and low culture.
“One of the reasons why so many of us love [TV show] Derry Girls so much is because it was a language, phrasing and words and speech, that was so familiar, and took such a delight and pleasure in not just Northern Irish slang but Derry-specific slang, which was a joyous thing to see on a Channel 4 programme.
“But then you’ve got someone like Pulitzer Prize-winning Paul Muldoon, the current Ireland Chair of Poetry, whose poems are peppered with slang terms, through all the decades of his writing; he’s been doing that since the 1970s and 1980s to now.
“It’s a really interesting legacy of this place and the words that make us unique.”
Language has the power to unite: it brings familiarity, a sense of community and a feeling that we’re all in this together. It is our primary tool to communicate and finding those lines of unity is vital to create bonds and friendships.
“It’s one of those things that if we go on holiday and you’re walking down the street, whether it be Spain or wherever, and you hear something from home. It can be something like ‘yer ma’, or ‘yer man’ and that will convey a whole host of knowledge and sense of place that somethings don’t and can’t,” says Dr Ferguson.
“There’s something very unmistakeably ours about words and phrases that we use and there’s nothing more honest at times and nothing more radical.
“Sometimes we might get anxious that we’re using cliches, but we’re actually using things that are very unguarded in our speech.”
Think too of Line of Duty’s Ted Hastings, who may be not living in Northern Ireland but ensures his team appreciate he didn’t come up the Lagan in a bubble.
In popular culture, like Gail, Dr Ferguson also references Lisa McGee’s Derry Girls that unashamedly used phrases and terminology from this place.
“That really said something of the exceptionalism of who we are and what we say.
“Sometimes we’ve been too quick almost to laugh at ourselves for those words, because I think a lot of it is the way society tries to engineer us with an idea of what is proper language, whereas what we say communicates extremely effectively and works better than sometimes the phraseology of standard English.”
But our local phrases are not immune from what goes on here.
“I think it’s unfortunate that it’s been politicised by a face-off between the Irish language and Ulster Scots,” says Gail.
“It’s so frustrating but I think there’s definitely more that we have in common. I think people are often not that sure of the history of slang terms, what the root of it is and where it started.
“And it’s such a source of comedy; I think some of the best of Irish writing, such as James Joyce, used slang. It’s one dimension of what slang can do.”
Dr Ferguson agrees, citing the number of creative writers that Northern Ireland produces who understand the power and ability of language in putting across a moment, or series of moments.
“In many ways, we have a number of registers coming through to us all the time.
“We have that historic mix of English, Scots and Irish, which means then that we can often have two or three words for the same thing.
“We are like the cliche of the Eskimos having so many words for snow; there are, it seems, lots and lots of words out there for ‘potatoes’ that we have.
“Certain areas will have a certain word for certain things and that’s a real strength. I think there’s a variety there and there’s a wonderful history to where those words came from. And even at times, I don’t think we’ve even grasped yet the opportunities that that has for who we are and what we can do and where we can go with that.”
Again, Ulster Scots is mentioned: a language so many of us use without even knowing. Anyone ever had a ‘boak’ after a foodstuff not agreeing with them or done ‘the messages’? My favourite slang word ‘hoke’ has an Ulster Scots origin. It’s fair to say that a discussion on Northern Irish slang cannot be done without looking at Ulster Scots and its continued impact.
“Often there’s not a lot of prestige placed on something like Ulster Scots because there is a perception that it’s bad language, or it doesn’t have a sense of value behind it,” says Dr Ferguson.
“But on one hand, you can trace Ulster Scots back into the courtly language of Scotland and you can also get the sense of the authentic place.
“There are bad Ulster Scots writers, just as there are bad Irish writers or bad English writers, or bad French or bad Spanish writers. But when it’s authentic and done well, it transports you to a real sense of realisation that this is really important and fantastic literature and you’re in the room.
“Whenever anybody questions me about the validity of Ulster Scots, I say go to Seamus Heaney and he talks about reading [poet] Rabbie Burns’ To a Mouse and ‘wee, sleekit, cowrin, tim’rous beastie’ appears in the first line.
“This really electrifies him because the word ‘wee’ appears. It’s the word that he hears at home in his kitchen language as he calls it and it’s also the word that miraculously appears in the world of art and literature and anthologies.
“I think this is when we realised that the very simple words we think we’ve grown up with, we’re maybe a little anxious to use them. When you see the possibilities for those words, there’s something that really brings us home to just how marvellous our language actually is. And actually how it connects us with lots of people in the country at times when there are things that don’t connect us.”
Slang has a special place in painting a vivid image of what it is we’re trying to say. It also gives us an insight into a specific culture and attitude. In Northern Ireland’s case, that we have multiple uses for the word ‘wee.’
“We all know how good a wee cup of tea is, a wee rest or a wee drink or a wee day off. These all have their meanings. It can be cold or be freezing but when it’s Baltic, we know exactly what that means and we know we’re foundered,” says Dr Ferguson.
“One of our great words, and I think there’s a difference between the town and city where it’s ‘scunnered’ or ‘scundered’. You can be annoyed and you can be frustrated, but nothing hits home [than] the sense of ‘I am totally scunnered’ or ‘I am totally scundered’ about something. These are things that we should protect.”
Language too is continuously developing. There are times too when a slang word enters the Oxford English Dictionary (OED) and becomes almost standardised, says Gail.
“Yesterday’s slang term is today or the future’s commonly understood term for something,” she explains.
“I guess that’s how language changes and evolves, through its users. You’re getting a people’s history of language use when you think about slang terms. All language passes through users.
“Every year I’m always interested to see what makes it into the OED — it tells you a lot about the way we speak now and how the dictionary has to keep up with the language that people are using.
“In 2022, ‘a chara’ entered the OED. So did ‘fluthered’, first used by James Joyce in 1927, ‘gaslighter’ and ‘vaxxed’. It’s great to see Irish English there and words that reflect what we’re living through.”
Similarly, Dr Ferguson says the ‘beauty’ of slang is that it’s often at the cutting edge of where words enter into common parlance.
“It often comes from young people so that there is a sense that if somebody like me is using the word, it has long lost its kind of cachet,” he laughs.
“But there’s a there’s a real sense that this is how words get born and taken into language. They’re used in some circles and in some groups.
“We all talk about going to uni now and in a sense, this is Australian dialect that we’ve picked up when Neighbours came along in the 1980s. Suddenly, ‘uni’ seems one of the obvious words to use because it’s been floating through media, but it’s loaded into everyday speech.
“Language is always a kind of magpie; it always throws up things for us to use that we’re not expected to use. Even terms that maybe in the past would have had specific meanings for specific groups, suddenly, this becomes widespread.”
The phrases we barely think about, so bound are they to our identity, are not just ours, however, they’re widely available for visitors to enjoy — on a sock or enamel mug, among other things.
Linzi Rooney is the owner of Born and Bred, a shop celebrating homeware and apparel with a decidedly local twist.
“I think it’s actually gotten more popular,” she says of the slang-adorned items.
“There’s more of a pride and a confidence that has built up from locals because of who we are and where we come from.
“I think that confidence has grown given the number of tourists who are coming into the city. They talk about how friendly we are, they talk about our hospitality and are genuinely interested in the history of the north of Ireland. I think then that our confidence has grown which makes us take a bit more pride in our kind of phrases.”
She launched the business in 2014 and her ethos remains changing the often negative attitudes about Northern Ireland, creating a culture where we’re proud of the places we call home.
From ‘up to high doh’ coasters to ‘a wee bag’ tote, Born and Bred is proudly Northern Irish and equally proud of our famous sayings.
“I knew locals would love it and if you see the amount of actual tourists we have coming into the store in Belfast — 27% of our tourism comes from Scotland and England,” explains Linzi.
“With the Americans coming over and they ask, ‘What’s “awk hiya love?”’ – which we have on our socks and mugs – once you explain it to them, they then love it and they buy it. So they’re running around America with a pair of ‘awk hiya love’ socks on with people asking, ‘What’s awk?’
“It creates engagement in the shop and it’s probably why the shop is doing so well as it’s creating that kind of dialogue with tourists in the shop as opposed to going in, buying something and leaving.
“It opens conversations which is brilliant.”
Top of the festive socks for 2022 was a pair with ‘alright big lad’ and customers still love ‘Ulster says yeooo!’ and ‘ats us nai’.
“Having tourists back last year and also cruise ships was definitely a real confidence boost for the shop,” continues Linzi.
“For the last two years before that, in and around lockdowns, you were relying on local trade which was amazing.
There’s no greater feeling than somebody coming from Spain, China, Italy, America, Canada, and really loving something with a local sign on it.”
How a brand markets items with such a local angle is important, she says.
“I was always very conscious that it’s how you incorporate this kind of slang with your brand, and create a brand that people want to invest in and it’s a lifestyle brand. When you do that and add a bit of Northern Irish tongue in cheek, it’s quite popular.
“It may not want to be a mug you’d have in your house but when you add the pink and enamel and people will take pictures of it up the Mournes or are wearing their ‘alright’ sock in a style that’s trendy and you can see yourself wearing it. If you’re able to tie those two together then you’ve got a good product. It’s not just your fridge magnet with a leprechaun on it.”
Many households live with multiple words of various things, giving a flavour of the melting point of cultures and nationalities for whom Northern Ireland is home.
“I’m married to an American so occasionally with our young son, Beth and I are in disagreement about the things we say,” says Gail. “Simple things like I’ll say ‘plaster’ and she’ll say ‘Band-aid,’ I’ll say ‘chips’ and she’ll say ‘fries’. He knows that he’s betwixt and between terms.
“Even things like ‘wee’ and ‘what’s the craic?’ There are phrases I would say that, in the mouth of someone who’s not from here, they sound ridiculous. You can hear people, and English speakers in particular, trying to accommodate themselves, ‘Well, hello, what’s the craic?’ Or even words like ‘scundered’ or ‘jammy,’ or ‘dead on,’ all these things that I say quite often.”"

In Northern Ireland, across all the different traits, philosophies, and histories that create our diverse community, one element consistently serves as a uniting factor: local phrases. These colloquial expressions, referred to affectionately as slang, play an important role in illustrating who we are as individuals and as a collective. Relatable narratives are woven into these local phrases, making it easier to form connections with others and convey the subtleties of our experiences.
Our colloquial vocabularies may feel alien to outsiders, as they define moments on a spectrum exclusive to our region. Expressions like 'foundered' to indicate a chilling temperature, 'clinker' to describe an undesirable vehicle or 'beezer' for an impressive specimen may not make sense to visitors. A seemingly simple word like 'grand' can hold multiple, often contradictory meanings, thereby complicating comprehension for non-locals.
Considering the value of localized phrases in understanding cultural nuances, many tourists may face confusion decoding the lingo in the region. However, this idiosyncratic vocabulary serves as a testament to our creative linguistic expression. According to Dr Frank Ferguson, a research director for English Language and Literature at Ulster University, the vernacular is quintessential as it reveals our unique linguistic cocktail, a potent blend of English, Scots language, and Irish, all seasoned generously with slang.
This linguistic richness reflects the region's multifaceted identity, with discernible variations even within its small physical area. Take the distinct dialects spoken in Belfast and Derry, for example, marked by certain terms and expressions that are used differently, effectively differentiating us from each other. Yet, these differences also make our language more enchanting, more authentic.
Indeed, the resilience and power of local slang are evidenced through their seamless integration into popular culture. Take the popular TV show 'Derry Girls,' which uses Northern Irish slang extensively for relatability and realism, or Pulitzer Prize-winning author Paul Muldoon, whose works incorporate slang to an impressive degree. As Gail McConnell, a Belfast writer, also noted, these colloquialisms offer a montage of culture, transcending distinctions of high and low culture.
Familiar language facilitates unity and community, strengthening bonds through shared expressions, identifying us as a collective while distinguishing us from the rest of the world. Hearing phrases like 'yer ma' or 'yer man' while abroad can evoke nostalgia, creating an instant connection and a warm sense of familiarity. These phrases are not just words, but parts of our identity, highlighting our candid

Sure, here's a simple entity-relationship structure for the data model:
1. **Organization**
- OrgID (Primary Key)
- OrgName
- Other information about the organization…
2. **User**
- UserID (Primary Key)
- OrgID (Foreign key links to Organization)
- UserName
- UserEmail
- Other user-related information…
3. **Project**
- ProjectID (Primary Key)
- OrgID (Foreign key links to Organization)
- UserID (Foreign key links to User)
- ProjectName
- Other project-related information…
4. **Goal**
- GoalID (Primary Key)

How can I calculate the amount of variations on a 3x4 table?
|
The amount of variations on a 3x4 table would depend on what information you are filling into the table.
1. If you are trying to fill each cell with only two options (for example, true or false), you would simply raise the number of options (2) to the power of your total cells.
In this case (3 rows * 4 columns) = 12 cells. So the calculation would be 2^12 = 4096 variations.
2. If you are trying to fill each cell with more complex information, then the number of variations increases exponentially. For example, if you are trying to fill each cell with any integer, the number of variations is infinite.
3. For alphanumeric variations (For example, a-z + 0-9) which are 36 unique entries. The number of variations would be 36^12.
Again, the exact calculations would depend on what you want to fill the cells of the table with.
