At least five days have passed since your symptoms started.Don't allow visitors until the sick person has completely gotten better and doesn't have any COVID-19 signs or symptoms. Also wash your hands after removing your gloves and mask. Before you put on your gloves and mask, wash your hands. Wear gloves and a face mask when providing care and when handling stool, urine or other waste. ![]() Avoid direct contact with the sick person's fluids.Set aside bedding and utensils for the sick person only to use. Avoid cleaning the sick person's separate room and bathroom. Use household cleaning sprays or wipes to clean surfaces that are often touched, such as counters, tabletops and doorknobs. Throw away the used mask and wash your hands. If your mask gets wet or dirty, swap it with a clean, dry mask. Don't touch or handle your mask while you are using it. Don't have any direct physical contact with the person. If you need to be in the same room with the person who is ill, wear the most protective face mask that you'll wear regularly, fits well and is comfortable. Avoid touching your eyes, nose and mouth. If soap and water aren't nearby, use a hand sanitizer that has at least 60% alcohol. This is especially important to do after being in close contact or in the same room as the sick person. Wash your hands with soap and water often for at least 20 seconds. Keep your hands clean and away from your face.Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the World Health Organization (WHO) recommend: To protect yourself while caring for someone with COVID-19, the U.S. If soap and water aren't nearby, use an alcohol-based hand sanitizer that has at least 60% alcohol.

8/14/2023 0 Comments Andrea bocelli i am in heaven![]() ![]() (Although inflation was very evident in terms of the comparative price of a tee shirt from then to now. ![]() All in all, while the ticket prices were stratospheric, I enjoyed the experience even more than the Three Tenor Concert in Los Angeles in 1994. There weren't many surprises in terms of song selection, but I listen to Bocelli on Pandora regularly. Stream songs including Vespro della Beata Vergine: Domine ad adiuvandum a 6, Mass in B Minor, BWV 232: Qui sedes ad dexteram Patris and more. She combined artistry on her standup cello, including percussion, and a lilting voice. Listen to Voices from Heaven by Andrea Bocelli, Bryn Terfel, Cecilia Bartoli, Coro dellAccademia di Santa Cecilia & Myung-Whun Chung on Apple Music. Other than the Bocellis, the cellist who I still can't identify, was a find. The charming Larrissa Rodriguez has a big voice in a charmingly small package. The supporting singers, unknown to me, were very good. The 50 (?) Sacramento Symphony orchestra and chorus, and especially, Bocelli's conductor made for a complete package. I was wrong! I was enthralled by his voice, his showmanship, his inclusion of his son, Matteo, and his daughter, Virginia. With a background studying voice and singing opera professionally years ago, I had expected Andrea Bocelli to be good, not great. Richard Rodgers from Sacramento, California People left with full hearts and happy ears from the gift of one man's voice! He engulfs the audience in an atmosphere of sweetness and grace by merely standing humbly on stage and sharing his magnificent voice!ġ8 thousand people could sit quietly and listen intensely without having their hearing assaulted by a billion decibels and not seeing anyone flying through the air or running around the stage or dancing while lip-syncing! Who knew? 19, 2021 1 viewer 2 Contributors I Believe (Acoustic) Lyrics Verse One day Ill hear The laugh of children In a world where war has been banned Open your heart To those who need you In the. The Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra provided its world-class support.īocelli has the gift of singing lyrics that are mostly not in English and holding people's rapt attention the whole time, nonetheless. Operatic and Pop duets with lovely female singers and a violin soloist, along with interpretive ballet dancers, made for an interesting and evenly paced program. His unassuming manner, quiet grace and vocal beauty touched everyone present throughout the evening. Andrea Bocelli filled PPG Paints Arena on Decemwith his wonderful voice. ![]() 8/14/2023 0 Comments Maximum entropy![]() In any case, you need to consider the density of states (per unit whatever the integration variable is). ![]() Or you might formulate it as an integral over energies. When instead the constraints are that the expectation and variance must equal predefined values, the ME solution is Gaussian. When the constraints are that all probability must vanish beyond predefined limits, the maximum entropy solution is uniform. You might formulate the problem as an integral over coordinates $x$, or coordinates-and-momenta, $(x,p)$. Maximization is always performed subject to constraints on the possible solution. By Boltzmann's (aka statistical mechanics) relation, entropy is analogous to the number of configurations ( S k B log. This means that once S reaches a stationary point ( maximum entropy) the system is in equilibrium. memspectrum is a package for the computation of power spectral densitiy (PSD) of time series. ![]() It is necessary, though, to introduce a measure, for the integration. By the 2nd Law, the entropy of a system increases or becomes a maximum i.e S 0. MAXIMUM ENTROPY SPECTRAL ANALYSIS FOR ACCURATE PSD COMPUTATION. Generalizing to the continuum case is discussed on the relevant Wikipedia page, and involves calculus of variations, with summations replaced by integrals, and Lagrange multipliers playing their usual role. Let us consider a particle that may occupy any discrete energy level $\mathcalĪs it is used in standard thermodynamics (all in units of $k_B=1$). ![]() I'm stuck halfway through a derivation of the Boltzmann distribution using the principle of maximum entropy.

In reference to a man, mafiusu ( mafioso in Italian) in 19th century Sicily signified "fearless", "enterprising", and "proud", according to scholar Diego Gambetta. The word mafia ( English: / ˈ m ɑː f i ə/ Italian: ) derives from the Sicilian adjective mafiusu, which, roughly translated, means "swagger", but can also be translated as "boldness" or " bravado". When used alone and without any qualifier, "Mafia" or "the Mafia" typically refers to either the Sicilian Mafia or the Italian-American Mafia and sometimes Italian organized crime in general (e.g., Camorra, 'Ndrangheta, etc.). the Sicilian Mafia and the related Italian-American Mafia refer to their organizations as "Cosa Nostra" the "Japanese Mafia" calls itself "Ninkyō dantai" but is more commonly known as " Yakuza" by the public and "Russian Mafia" groups often call themselves " Bratva"). The term was coined by the press and is informal the criminal organizations themselves have their own names (e.g. However, the term has since expanded to encompass other organizations of similar methods and purpose, e.g., "the Russian Mafia" or "the Japanese Mafia". The term "mafia" was originally applied to the Sicilian Mafia. The 'Ndrangheta, originating in the Southern Italian region of Calabria, is widely considered the richest and most powerful mafia in the world. Mafias often engage in secondary activities such as gambling, loan sharking, drug-trafficking, prostitution, and fraud. The central activity of such an organization would be the arbitration of disputes between criminals as well as the organization and enforcement of illicit agreements between criminals through the use of or threat of violence. "Mafia" is an informal term that is used to describe criminal organizations that bear a strong similarity to the original "Mafia": the Italian Mafia. For other uses, see Italian Mafia, Sicilian Mafia, Italian-American Mafia, and Mafia (disambiguation). ![]() 8/14/2023 0 Comments Myst vr oculus quest![]() I also accidentally teleported into a wall once and restarted the game to get out of it. It also features excellent sound design and lighting, but even on Quest 2 you can see pop in of higher or lower quality textures that can be pretty distracting depending on your tolerance for it. In one of the game’s areas I caught myself staring at the sun for the longest time like Luke Skywalker on Tatooine. Myst VR’s environments are realized with impressive beauty. So we tore through the ages of Myst VR together that way. She used a notepad at first but then we realized she could just take photos of my screencasting as a quicker way of note-taking. She also played along using a phone loaded up with realMyst - the earlier real-time version of the game. I cast my view from VR so my oldest kid could see it too. Sure you could take a book from the library on Myst island and walk over to manipulate a puzzle with the reference book full of clues in your free hand, but I played Myst VR on Quest 2 in a much more satisfying way. So you’ll hear stories of families sitting down around the old computer in shifts with a pencil and paper notebook charting out their clues and theories as a shared journey. ![]() This is a game about paying attention to your environment and trying things out until you figure out what works. Myst VR is really a single-player game, of course, but the honest truth is that it was always hard and could test the patience of a single human well past the point of quitting. What is it?: Single-player puzzle game set on a mysterious island. So what to say then of the same game now that VR transports you there so much more completely? The same is still true - its visuals and overall atmosphere still create vivid memories despite severe computational limitations.Īnd it might just be one of the best unofficial co-op experiences you can find with an Oculus Quest. That’s the magic of Cyan Worlds’ classic puzzler - its visuals and overall atmosphere created vivid memories despite severe computational limitations. It is also true for the newest version of the game you can play in VR - rebuilt with levels of detail likely to elicit an “oh wow” from folks who already have rich memories of Myst’s locales despite never actually “visiting” its islands. ![]() This was true when the groundbreaking game came out in 1993, it was true for the versions released for various consoles and, later, for phones. In the first hour of Myst VR you realize you should grab a notebook for recording clues to help solve the mystery. Myst is highly regarded as one of the most important PC games of all-time and now the original developers have rebuilt it for VR for a brand new generation. ![]() 8/14/2023 0 Comments Stardew greenhouse layout hops![]() There's also a small row of green beans just north of there that have a couple of missing spots. If you look at the small line of hops I have here, you will see that there are a couple of them that are missing. Here's an image showing some of my most recent missing crops. Now in my case I could see it being the results of mods because I currently use mods, or save editing because I edited my save to have a different farm layout, then again if people that just play the vanilla game are having the problem then sounds like it isn't just mod related. If plants hit by lightning are supposed to die and not simply vanish, then it also isn't lightning because the only dead plants I've seen have been from season changes. The plants I'm seeing disappear are on Ginger Island, which from what I understand there are no crows there so unless the game is glitching and/or a mod is causing problems then it isn't crows. ![]() I'm also seeing this sort of thing happen. especially if more reports crop up, maybe it is a new bug that has emerged. but right now it is really sounding like a bug. There are some awesome save file editors that might be able to look and see if they can spot anything amiss in your save file, if there's access to them that is. but I know that remembering stuff like that might not be feasible. Or, if mods were never used, if you remember what you might have been doing in-game around the time the issue emerged (so there might be some idea of where the bug happened, or what triggered it, that might have glitched out). Or, if save file editing has ever been done and maybe something went a little whacky (sometimes an easy fix?). Also to eliminate some possibilities, if not on console, it would be good to know if mods were ever used with this game (and then maybe later removed), because some stuff can crops up from mods that doesn't get fixed on mod removal. ![]() If it is on console, that would be even weirder, no save file access.ĭefinitely a bit more details about platform and version would be helpful for a Help & Bug reports forum post maybe. I wonder if you might somehow have a bugged save? Is this on a platform where there's save file access/editing ability? What platform are people playing on that the issue occurs? I'm just thinking that maybe someone could take a look at your save file if there's access, to see if there's anything funky going on that could be easily fixed (have seen a save file edit fix some stuff that glitched out). ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Signs: Within two hours of exposure, pets may experience mild to severe hyperactivity, restlessness, vomiting, tachycardia (elevated heart rate), hypertension (elevated blood pressure), abnormal heart rhythms, tremors, hyperthermia (elevated body temperature), seizures, and could collapse. While a couple laps of coffee, tea, or soda won’t poison most pets, the ingestion of moderate amounts of coffee grounds, tea bags, or one to two diet pills can easily be fatal in small animals. Offer toys, a stuffed chew toy, a favorite blanket, and treats to help them feel like the crate is their personal den.Threat to pets: Pets are more sensitive to the effects of caffeine than people. Find a sturdy crate that is large enough for your dog to stand up and turn around and make it a comfortable, safe place for them to retreat to when they want to be alone or when you can’t watch them.
8/14/2023 0 Comments Sour amnesia smoke report![]() Growers should trim broad fan leaves at the top of the plant in order to let air and light reach flowering nodes on the lower branches. It can easily be grown indoors, however, as plants are more typical of indica varieties - limbs reach more horizontally than vertically, with a bushy stature that doesn’t usually exceed more than 3 or 4 feet. Grown outdoors, Amnesia Haze requires a predominantly hot climate with consistent temperatures between 72 and 80 degrees Fahrenheit. This variety’s strong high also tends to last longer than average. On the negative side, those prone to anxiety may experience some degree of paranoia due to Amnesia Haze’s tendency to bring on a sense of frantic mind-race as such, cannabis newcomers may want to temper initial dosage of this strain. It can also be a strong appetite stimulant. ![]() More medically speaking, Amnesia Haze’s sense of focus can be helpful for those with attention deficit disorders who have trouble concentrating on specific tasks. The combination of strong mental and physical effects makes this strain a good choice for activities that involve both mind and body, including but not limited to exercise and sex. Although cerebral, Amnesia Haze also has enough of an indica backbone to also provide relaxation and contemplativeness. Users may feel an improvement in mood as well as an energy to accomplish tasks. In a positive set and setting, this mental sharpening can lead to a euphoric state of mind. The high comes up almost immediately, inducing cerebral thinking and a sudden acute awareness of surroundings. This can be a pungent strain, and the smell of smoke may linger.Īmnesia Haze has many of the great qualities that mark both indica and sativa varieties, although users may land on the more thoughtful (or even hyper-thoughthful) end of that spectrum. The taste, both immediately and when exhaled, is again typical of Haze strains, with a spicy and citrus-infected flavor. Despite all this richness, smoke is smooth when inhaled. Breaking open the buds gives off a faint spicy scent, which may be familiar to fans of other strains in the Haze family. Notes of wood, especially cedar, are evident in the buds. The flowers immediately present a lemony tang that is mellowed out by some earthiness. The unique size of the strain buds is matched by a unique scent and taste. Phenotypes of Amnesia Haze can vary, with some playing host to more cloudy white trichomes than others psychoactive potency can also vary in these cases. Rust-colored pistils, meant for the flowers to catch pollen from other male cannabis plants, stand out against the leaves. ![]() Depending on how they’re cured, buds will have a greenish to yellow tint. This strain is distinguished by its chunky, dense flowers which show a synthesis of indica and sativa bud structures: although tightly-packed, the buds are more tapered and comical than round. The THC content of Amnesia Haze ranges from about 20% to 25%. It won 1st place overall in the 2004 Cannabis Cup and Best Sativa in the 2012 Cannabis Cup. The strain is a favorite for its uplifting vibes and its rich flavor. Amnesia Haze that exists in the commercial market is mainly derived from two sources: First Medical Seed and Soma Seeds, the Amsterdam-based company responsible for creative strains like Lavender. ![]() 8/14/2023 0 Comments Church usher training pdf![]() ![]() It makes so much difference it can determine whether or not you ever return. ![]() Whether a clerk at a hotel desk, a bank teller, or a teenager at your favorite fast food restaurant, you know what a difference it makes to be served well. We cannot overestimate the importance of the front line. If a 12Stone regular attender, or visitor had a less than positive experience finding their way to the Worship Experience Center, an usher can play a significant role in turning that person s experience around by helping them find not just the right seat but the right frame of mind. Ushers The ushers (and greeters) play a big role as the third and final gateway to the worship experience. Ħ Nursery Care Givers If the people don t feel their babies are safe and secure they won t be able to focus on what s happening in the service, let alone hear what God has to say. Parking Lot Attendants If the people get frustrated in the parking lot, they will not be receptive to what God has in mind. Any of these three gateways/ministries can make or break a person s entire worship experience. Three Critical Gateways to Worship Virtually no one enters a worship experience without passing through one or more of these gateways. Your spiritual readiness and act of service plays a huge role in the life-change that takes place that day. You are literally part of the continuing story of God s redemption. John 8:2 When you serve as an usher, you set the stage for the worship experience. Mark 1: At dawn he appeared again in the temple courts, where all the people gathered around him, and he sat down to teach them. 22 The people were amazed at his teaching, because he taught them as one who had authority, not as the teachers of the law. Exodus 40:34 They went to Capernaum, and when the Sabbath came, Jesus went into the synagogue and began to teach. 34 Then the cloud covered the Tent of Meeting, and the glory of the LORD filled the tabernacle. From the tabernacle in the Old Testament to the temple and synagogue in the New Testament, God s presence and the teaching of His word is of supreme importance. Though we thoroughly enjoy the creative edge of our 12Stone services, make no mistake, this is a holy event where God is meeting with His people. The usher serves as a first representative of Jesus Christ for a worship service.
