Segments are essential tools when using Crisp, they can help in a lot of ways. To better understand what they are and how to use this feature, this article is set to give you everything you need.
This guide goes into explaining what is a segment and how it works. Segments are vital if you want to make the most out of Crisp. That's why it is an essential read if you're getting started with our platform.
Coming from Intercom? Segments are known as tags.
What is a segment?
A segment is a way for your business to mark a profile or a conversation. You can assimilate it as a way of tagging a user with a specific behavior. For example, you can tag all your leads with a segment named "lead" to create filters in your inbox, build advanced filters in the contact tab, send them a newsletter using campaign or build an routing rule that will redirect conversations to the sales team.
How to assign a segment?
Segments can be assigned in three different ways. It can be manual, automated or done with a bot scenario. Here is how you can do it, and where.
Assigning a segment manually
A segment can be added manually by typing it inside the dedicated input, as shown below. In the example, you can see three different segments: Email, Ambassador and clothes.
Assigning a segment automatically
Assign a segment using the JS SDK
A dedicated article exists about how to set a segment dynamically using the JS SDK. However, here is a quick reminder:
// Feed this call with your own internal segment.
$crisp.push(["set", "session:segments", [["registered_users", "lead"]]])
Assign a segment using the API
- session segments:
- contact segments:
You'll need to add your segments in the "segments" array in the request body: "segments": ["lead"]
Assign a segment using the bot.
Through the bot you can do multiple actions automatically, such as assigning a segment to a conversation. By using a specific block called "Set Session Segment" which is an action block, you'll assign segments automatically to conversations.
Example of a chatbot scenario having a Set Session Segment
Assign a segment using Mailboxes
Thanks to Crisp, you can handle multiple mailboxes in the same inbox. Using aliases such as or you'll be able to assign a segment to the conversation and route it to the right department or make it a priority task to handle.
How can segment help your team?
Now that you understand what is a segment and how to use it, it's time to focus on some specific use case that can be quite helpful when using Crisp.
To build an email list
Segments are a targeting option inside Campaigns (our customer engagement software). It means that you can retarget users that had to deal with a specific thing such as a downtime, a sales meeting or a bug report for example.
To trigger a zap
Using zapier, we've created a trigger that enables a zap when a segment is assigned to a conversation. This way, you can build a workflow that sends a ticket to Trello or Jira when the segment "bug" is assigned to the conversation for example.
To create a filter in the inbox
Using segments, you can build filters to display specific conversations inside your Inbox. This way, you can choose to display VIP conversations or lead conversations based on your role or your needs.
There are many more ways to take advantage of segments, it's up to you to get started with this key, yet simple, feature.

text: A total of around 760.000 Soviet citizens were buried in Germany as a result of the Second World War, most of them soldiers of the Soviet Army and forced labourers. The Soviet-Russian Second World War Cemetery Simmerath-Rurberg holds the remains 2.322 of them – men, women and children. Only fifty-five of them rest in individual graves, the others in mass graves. Just a small number is known by name. Here in Simmerath-Rurberg almost all of the buried were also prisoners of war or forced labourers. They died in consequence of hardship in the labour camps or as a result of Allied bomb strikes. After the war was over many small Soviet cemeteries were established all over Germany. The Volksbund Deutsche Kriegsgräberfürsorge united 38 of these cemeteries in the region of Monschau, Erkelenz, Geilenkirchen, Aachen, Jülich, Düren and Schleiden in Germany and Rurberg in Belgium. Most of the dead were transferred from Düren, where in the course of the war 1.522 forced labourers died in arms factories. The Simmerath-Rurberg Cemetery was officially opened in 1961.

Artificial Sweeteners May Contaminate Water Downstream Of Sewage Treatment Plants And Even Drinking Water
Sewage treatment plants fail to remove artificial sweeteners completely from waste water. What's more, these pollutants contaminate waters downstream and may still be present in our drinking water. Thanks to their new robust analytical method, which simultaneously extracts and analyses seven commonly used artificial sweeteners, Marco Scheurer, Heinz-Jürgen Brauch and Frank Thomas Lange from the Water Technology Center in Karlsruhe, Germany, were able to demonstrate the presence of several artificial sweeteners in waste water.
Their findings are published online this week in Springer's journal Analytical and Bioanalytical Chemistry.
A range of artificial sweeteners are commonly used in food and drinks, as well as drugs and sanitary products. The potential health risks of artificial sweeteners have been debated for some time. Until now, only sucralose has been detected in aquatic environments. Through the use of a new analytical method, the researchers were able to look for seven different artificial sweeteners (cyclamate, acesulfame, saccharin, aspartame, neotame, neohesperidin dihydrochalcone and sucralose) simultaneously, and show, for the first time, that a number of commonly used artificial sweeteners are present in German waste and surface water.

UK Historic Environment Agencies launch Declaration for the Preservation of Digital Intellectual Record
An alliance of key agencies concerned with the UK's historic environment has launched their Declaration on Digital Preservation today at a ceremony at the Historic England offices on Tanner Row in York on International Digital Preservation Day.
The alliance, called the Bedern Group, comprises the Archaeology Data Service, Historic England, Historic Environment Scotland and The Royal Commission on the Ancient and Historic Monuments of Wales (RCAHMW). Their combined digital collections represent a rich resource for research and education, creative, cultural and commercial activity within the historic environment.
Chairman of the Commissioners for RCAHMW, Dr Eurwyn Wiliam was delighted with the initiative, saying "by publishing this Declaration, the Bedern Group hopes to inspire many more individuals and organizations to help secure the legacy of their own important digital collections for future generations."
"Protecting the historic environment is not simply a concern with buildings, monuments and landscapes anymore," explains Alex Paterson, CEO of Historic Environment Scotland. "This Declaration encapsulates the commitment we must all make to preserve our digital heritage; so making it possible for this and future generations to enjoy, understand and manage the physical traces of the human past."
While new technologies create significant opportunities for our society and economy, these changes herald a time when heritage collections will be increasingly digital.
Duncan Wilson, CEO of Historic England agrees, saying: "The story of our past is not only locked up in surviving buildings and places, but in our archives and research. So making sure these records survive and are digitally accessible is a vital form of protection. This is a key part of our legacy to future generations."
A shifting technological landscape means that organizations like those of the Bedern Group will need to manage pressures of technological obsolescence, as well as being able to adapt to new scales, new complexities and new expectations.
"Digital preservation is an integral component in safeguarding our cultural heritage. This Declaration highlights the commitment of all the Bedern Group members to this aim," says Director of the Archaeology Data Service, Professor Julian Richards. "Digital data requires careful curation to ensure its stability and usability in the long-term, but properly preserved digital data has vast potential, particularly when openly available, to increase the public understanding of our shared heritage."
Helping them manage these pressures is the Digital Preservation Coalition (DPC), to which each of the Bedern Group organisations belongs. The DPC provides training, resources and support to help members deliver resilient long-term access to digital content and services; deriving enduring value from their digital collections. The Coalition also raises awareness of the attendant strategic, cultural and technological challenges and supports members through advocacy, workforce development, capacity-building and partnership.
The Bedern Declaration Launch is part of a wider programme of celebrations and community commitments to digital preservation which makes up International Digital Preservation Day (IDPD17) on 30th November. Organized by the DPC and supported by digital preservation networks around the world, IDPD17 draws together individuals and institutions from across the world to celebrate digital collections preserved, access maintained and understanding fostered by preserving digital materials.

Bogda Mountains, China
The Turpan Depression, nestled at the foot of the Bogda Mountains in northwestern China, is a strange mix of salt lakes and sand dunes. At the bottom of the basin is Aydingkol Lake, which appears blue in this Landsat 7 image from 1999. Once a permanent lake and now a salty swamp, the lake is 155 meters below sea level, making it the third lowest place on Earth's land surface after the Dead Sea and Africa's Lake Assal. A region of temperature extremes, the Turpan Depression extends over 50,000 square kilometers. The city of Turpan, located in the higher northern part of the depression, was an important trading center on the ancient Silk Road.

- n. A blockade of ice in a river.
- n. A narrow, steep-sided gorge in whose bottom, amid large fallen rocks, ice forms in the winter and endures until late in the summer or longer. Ice-gorges occur in a number of localities in New England and New York.
"But the boat was perilously near the ice-gorge, which growled and wrestled and over-topped it a bare dozen feet away."
"Winter as well as summer the work went on; and the task of cutting out a vessel wrecked in an ice-gorge, or of raising one from beneath the ice, must have been as trying as walking the river bottom in search of a wreck."
"All at once his face brightened, and he slapped his round, tight thigh with a noise like the rending of an ice-gorge."
"A few scenes, evidently painted on the spot and in dire distress; a drop-curtain depicting an utterly impracticable roseate ice-gorge in the ideal Alaska, and four footlights, constituted the sum total of the properties."
"Up to this time it had not given way, and had become the cause of an ice-gorge that every moment grew more threatening."
"Ermigit seemed to have guessed rightly, for after clambering up the ice-gorge referred to until he gained a high ledge or plateau, he began regularly to stalk the birds with the sly patience of a cat."

Many eye drops are available in volumes sufficient to last about one month. Only one drop is enough to be instilled into the eye at a time and delivers the required dose. This is equal to about 61.6 μl (u.s.) or 59.2 μl (britain).
It Is Crucial To Set The Drip Rate.
When attempting to determine the drop volume of commercially available glaucoma medications, clinicians sometimes use the rule of thumb equation that every milliliter of medication will yield approximately twenty drops. A 5 ml bottle has 100 doses and a 10 ml bottle has 200 doses. We use the average of 30 drops.

KB0055: Import Data from the Affectiva Q Sensor
This article contains directions for importing data from the Affectiva Q Sensor which collects 3-axis accelerometry, skin temperature, and skin conductance. The data from the Q Sensor is stored in a.csv file and can be converted to a MindWare (.mw) file using the ASCII-MW converter, a tool available in all MindWare analysis applications and BioLab.
First, launch the ASCII-MW converter and select the file containing the Q Sensor data.
From the file header, we can see that the data has been sampled at 32 Hz and that data is stored in units appropriate for each measure. Accelerometer data is stored in g, temperature is stored in degrees Celsius, and skin conductance is stored in microsiemens (uS). These channels will need to be scaled to values between -5 and 5 volts for storage in the MindWare file. Set up the ASCII-MW converter as follows:
File Header
Channels 1-16
Press OK to complete the conversion. You will need to re-apply the scaling in the analysis applications to view the data in proper units. For example, in the EDA analysis application, you will need to set the uS/volt setting to the scale factor of 20 used in the ASCII-MW converter. Also, since the sample rate is 32 Hz, be sure to set the Block Size on the Rolling Filter to an appropriate value (when applicable).

Damages in Comparable Coaches' Contracts to Assess a School's Economic Damage from the Loss of a Successful Coach
Richard T. Karcher
Professor of Law
Florida Coastal School of Law
This Essay addresses the difficulty of proving financial harm that results when a head coach departs during the contract term and the school thereby abruptly loses a valuable asset, that being a successful and stabile athletic program. Due to the unique and specialized nature of head coaches' services and the industry they work in, ordinary measures for assessing damage based on substitute performance and transaction costs are insufficient. The author offers a theory of measuring a school's damages within the construct of a lost income-producing asset valuation, using a methodology based on liquidated damage amounts in comparable coaches' contracts.

KOSHER WITH DAIRY PRODUCTS
Kosher is the process of separating pure from impure and boiling a pot to make the pure liquid kosher. Kosher food is considered to be that which adheres to rules of Jewish dietary laws. There are many rules in the Torah and Talmud about kosher food, for example, that one should avoid dairy products with meat, or that meat that has been cooked with milk cannot be eaten with meat that has not been cooked with milk. There is also a rule that meat and milk cannot be served together.
Kosher means pure in Hebrew, and it has very specific requirements for how food must be prepared. The process of koshering can be a bit complicated, but the most important thing is to know the ingredients in your food. The most common way to make something kosher is to add a specific mixture of salt to meat, and then it is boiled. It is important to remember that kosher cannot be made with dairy products. Kosher is traditionally prepared with salt, but you can also use a mixture of spices like onion, garlic, coriander, and pepper.

In high dimensional databases, traditional full space clustering methods are known to fail due to the curse of dimensionality. Thus, in recent years, subspace clustering and projected clustering approaches were proposed for clustering in high dimensional spaces. As the area is rather young, few comparative studies on the advantages and disadvantages of the different algorithms exist. Part of the underlying problem is the lack of available open source implementations that could be used by researchers to understand, compare, and extend subspace and projected clustering algorithms. In this work, we discuss the requirements for open source evaluation software and propose OpenSubspace that meets these requirements. OpenSubspace integrates state-of-the-art performance measures and visualization techniques to foster research in clustering in high dimensional databases.

Der Flügelflügel space concert hall
This open source project concept is for developing an open source design of a spaceship with the form of a grand piano.
Its german name means "Grand piano wing".
Its purpose is to provide a concert hall, with a beautiful sight to the stars.
This sight would be achievable whenever the tripulation opens the grand piano lid.
Their tripulants may also have the mission of playing humankind's music across the most remote confines of the universe.
The technology used for building one spaceship like this would be the same used for building other spaceships like one that would transport thousands of living beings between earth and mars.
Its most important component would be Tinystar nuclear fusion reactor for spaceships, since it would be the main source of energy.
It would have a big dock for storing many of the visitors' spaceships. Each white key would be an entrance, because it has to provide many entrance points due to the high amount of spaceships traffic before and after each event.
Any graphical contribution would be helpful: before any design there should be an artistic representation. This is a grandpiano with texture of spaceship, where people sit below the open lid, inside the spaceship, enjoying the event while watching the artists and stars.
The lid would be an excellent surface for installing Open solar sunshine flower cells, because in order to let people see the stars, it is better that they are facing to the opposite direction of the closest star. This way while the event takes place, the open lid would provide energy to the spaceship while it is absorbing sunlight, providing a comfortable shadow for improving the spectators' experience :D

Streetscape and Townscape of Metropolitan New York City, _PHONE_
Between 1850 and 1950, the population of New York City grew from just under 700,000 to more than seven million. This collection of 1,300 photographs documents the manifold changes that characterized New York City's urban environment in this 100 year period. The photographs are gathered from several collections: 1896 street views by Staten Island photographer Alice Austen, 1911 panoramas of Fifth Avenue, Washington Irving's home in the 1860s, 31 photo-lithographics of mid-1800s Hudson River mansions, the Sperr collection of 335 photographs taken between 1931 and 1942, and a general collection of photographs divided by city borough. Highlights include Austen's images of New York City laborers (organ grinders, bootblacks, police men, messenger boys) and of her home life among the State Island elite—both rare subjects for this period, and the Sperr collection's documentation of the construction of the Belt Parkway. Part of the New York Public Library's renowned digital library collection, this website is essential for those interested in U.S. urban history, architecture, the history of New York City, and the built environment.


The Data Repository CRUD Tool enables you to update data set records in the connected data repository during your testing activities.
Native CRUD tool versus the CRUD extension
The Data Repository CRUD Tool Extension also allows you to manipulate data in a data repository, but requires additional configuration that is not required with this tool.
In this section:
Introduction
The Data Repository CRUD tool is intended to help you automate actions that require data in the repository to be modified, such as changing the value of account balances in a banking application. It can perform the following operations on records in your data repository:
 - delete data set records
 - update existing data set records
 - create new data set records
The primary use-case is to add the tool as an output to your Message Responder and configure operations to perform on the data when a message is sent to the virtual asset. You can manually configure the tool operation settings or script changes to record values before updating the data repository.

How economic, humanitarian, and religious concerns shape European attitudes toward asylum seekers
What types of asylum seekers are Europeans willing to accept? We conducted a conjoint experiment asking 18,000 eligible voters in 15 European countries to evaluate 180,000 profiles of asylum seekers that randomly varied on nine attributes. Asylum seekers who have higher employability, have more consistent asylum testimonies and severe vulnerabilities, and are Christian rather than Muslim received the greatest public support. These results suggest that public preferences over asylum seekers are shaped by sociotropic evaluations of their potential economic contributions, humanitarian concerns about the deservingness of their claims, and anti-Muslim bias. These preferences are similar across respondents of different ages, education levels, incomes, and political ideologies, as well as across the surveyed countries. This public consensus on what types of asylum seekers to accept has important implications for theory and policy.


Webhooks and Eventhandling
In order to keep your shop up-to-date with any changes concerning your payments you can register a webhook to several different events as described here.
Single Webhook actions
Register a Webhook event
$heidelpay = new \heidelpayPHP\Heidelpay('s-priv-xxxxxxxxxx');
$webhook = $heidelpay->createWebhook(
Fetch and update a Webhook
The URL of a webhook can be updated as shown in the following example.
// fetch
$webhook = $heidelpay->fetchWebhook('s-whk-1533');
// update
It is not possible to update the event a webhook is registered for at the moment.
Delete an existing Webhook
You can delete a webhook either by passing its id or the corresponding webhook object to the heidelpay::deleteWebhook method.
// delete a webhook by id
// delete a webhook by object
Multiple webhooks actions
Register multiple webhooks at once
In order to register multiple webhooks at once you can pass an array containing all desired events.
It will return an array containing all created webhooks as \heidelpayPHP\Resources\Webhook instances.
// register several webhooks at once
$registeredWebhooks = $heidelpay->registerMultipleWebhooks(
Fetch all registered Webhooks at once
$registeredWebhooks = $heidelpay->fetchAllWebhooks();
Delete all Webhooks at once
Handle incoming events
Whenever an event is triggered the corresponding URL is called. The POST request contains the json-information about the event which you can use to fetch the corresponding resource which in turn can be used to update the state of the order/payment in your shop.
Just add the following code to the controller of the URL you registered, fetch the json from the event payload and inject it to the method heidelpay::fetchResourceFromEvent.
The method will fetch the corresponding resource object and return it.
$resource = $heidelpay->fetchResourceFromEvent($jsonRequest);
After that you can determine the type of the resource and handle it accordingly.
Please refer to the latest integration examples for a working example implementation of webhooks and the event handling.
Acknowledging an event
In order to releave our webhook servers and message queues from your events, we need you to acknowledge them by returning the HTTP success code (200). This will tell the server that you have successfully received the event and there is no need to send it again.
We recommend you to use one of the following ways to handle and acknowledge incoming events.
 1. Store the event, acknowledge it and handle it later (e. g. via cron job) …
 2. … or handle the event right away and return a HTTP error code (>= 400) if something goes wrong. The Webhook server will place the event in its queue taking care of resending it again later.
What ever way you choose please do not place the event handling into a loop to try again after an error. This can create a great amount of traffic when our servers suffer a high load and add even more. In addition this can lead to a timeout where the webhook server stops the request and retries sending the event later on while your event handler retries fetching the resource from us.
Security Considerations
To make sure nobody can meddle with your payments or find out your private key please make sure to remember the following rules concerning the event handling.
don't...
…use the event name as indicator for the state of a resource
Since there is no guarantee an event has actually been sent by our API you should always fetch the resource using the SDK. This way you make sure a hacker can not inject a false payment state into your shop. In Addition there is no guarantee the events arrive in the same order they have been sent in. Fetching the resource to an event always gives you the latest state.
don't...
…use the events retrieveUrl to fetch the event resource without making sure the domain is legit.
A hacker could send an event with a retrieveUrl which contains his own domain to spy out your private key or to return fake data to make you believe a payment has been completed when it actually has not. Please use the method fetchResourceFromEvent(...) of the Unzer facade to retrieve the resource from an event to make sure nobody can feed you false data. This method omits the possibly manipulated domain and just uses the path to the corresponding resource, making sure you are calling a save Unzer domain.

Markets Wholesale Markets History
In 1816, the Street Commissioners purchased the old moated Manor House of the De Birmingham family and a year later opened the Smithfield Cattle Market on the site which now forms part of the Wholesale Markets Precinct.
The Old St. Martin's Market was used as a Wholesale Market until 1897. The Wholesale Fish Market in Bell Street was opened in 1869 and demolished in 1958.
St. Martin's Lane opened in 1883 and was divided into two sections, the larger upper part forming the wholesale Fruit and Vegetable Market, and the lower part, bordering Moat Row, initially used as a toll market for farmers and growers. The lower part was also home to the retail Rag Market each Tuesday and Saturday afternoon selling clothing, hardware and manufactured goods.
A Cattle and Pig Market in Montague Street was opened in 1892.
The City Meat Market and Abattoir in Bradford Street opened in 1897. The deterioration of the old Smithfield and City Meat Markets, the loss of the Fish Markets in Bell Street for the new Inner Road, and congestion of the narrow streets around the wholesale area, all led to the decision to build a new Wholesale Market complex. In February 1974 phase 1 of the scheme, the New Fish, Meat and Poultry Markets, was opened for trade.

In building construction, a shell structure is a thin, curved plate structure shaped to transmit applied forces by compressive, tensile, and shear stresses that act in the plane of the surface. They are usually constructed of concrete reinforced with steel mesh.
This structure maintains its size and support load, even without a frame or solid mass material inside.
A shell is a building that is empty from inside, these shell elements are typically curved and assembled into a large structure, they are lightweight constructions using shell elements.
Here we will learn about shell structure, types of shell structures & much more.
Introduction to shell structure:
In the shell structure, a thin shell is defined as a shell with a thickness that is smaller than its other dimensions.
In the thin-shell structure, the deformation is not as large compared to the thickness.
The main difference between shell structures and plate structures is that within the unstable state, the shell structures have curvature, unlike the plate structures which can be flat.
Membrane action in a shell structures are mainly due to plane stress, although flexural deformation may result in secondary forces.
Types of Shell Structure:
This cylindrical shells in which stationary cure called as directrix or moving curve called generatrix is a straight line.
Semi ellipse, parabola, arch circle, cycloid catenary, horse-shoe shape are the example of some common cylindrical shells.
2.Multiple cylindrical shells:
Multiple cylindrical shells is a series of cylindrical shells that are parallel and transversely continuous.
3.North light shells:
The north light shell in which two springing are provided at different levels is called the north light shell.
The provision of curves at different levels towards the north gives maximum north-light, this type of shell is usually provided as a roof in case of factories.
4.Asymmetrical cylindrical shells:
This asymmetrical cylindrical shell structure is not symmetrical about the crown.
This barrel shells is symmetrical about the crown.
Barrel vaults are most useful for shell structures because of the greater span capacity of up to 50 m with minimal material.
They are very efficient structures because the arch form is used to reduce stress and thickness in the transverse direction.
7.Short shells and long Shells:
The number of terms has been developed to describe cylindrical shells depending upon its span short or long.
Short shells: If the span length is short, then it is termed as short shells.
Long shells: If the span length is large in comparison with its width, the shell form is termed as long shell.
A dome is a space structure that covers a more or less square or circular area.
The domes are attached to a surface generated by a curve of any form revolving about a vertical line.
When the surface has a double curvature that gives rise to a hard and strong shell structure of snoring rather than a curved surface.
9.Intersection shell structure:
The structural effectively of the intersection shell is dependent upon the angle of intersection of the surface.
If the angle is small, a rib fanned by adjacent elements of the original shell is much larger than the adjacent shell on each side.
And if the angle of intersection is too large, it is called a shallow intersection, if the angle of intersection is 90, it gives a rigid rib.
Shell arches are in the same category as small shells.
If the stresses are mainly compressive, all thicknesses can be made much smaller than an arc.
Shells are not a very efficient structure for the high value of bending moment.
A translation shell is generated by a vertical curve sliding along another vertical curve.
Curves have different shapes such as circles, ellipse, and parabola therefore vertical segments are all the same as opposed to a round dome in which all vertical segments differ in height.
In short, translation shell is simply a square dome in which the shape is generated by curve moving along another curve.
Applications of shell structure:
(1) Fuselages of aero planes.
(2) Boat halls.
(3) Roof structures in some buildings.
Also read: RCC Framed Structure, Prefabricated Structure & Space Frame Structure
Shell structure examples:
These types of structures provide fantastic architectural views, Opera house in Sydney is the world-famous thin-shell structure.
In India, the Lotus temple at Delhi is, also a good example of shell structure and various shell structures bring out the miracle in building construction history.
Shell structure also called plate structures are lightweight constructions using shell elements.
Usually these curved elements are assembled to form a large structure.

Suitable Foods for Blue Cobra Guppies:
- High-quality guppy pellets or flakes
- Live or frozen daphnia
- Brine shrimp
- Spirulina flakes for enhanced coloration
- Reproduction: Blue Cobra Guppies are renowned for their prolific breeding behavior. They reproduce through internal fertilization and give birth to live fry, distinguishing them from egg-laying species.
- Breeding Requirements: To encourage breeding, maintain a well-planted aquarium with a male-to-female ratio of 1:2 or 1:3 to minimize stress on females. Offer ample hiding spots for fry to seek refuge as adult guppies may view them as potential prey.
- Spawning Process: Female Blue Cobra Guppies typically give birth to a brood of fry every four to six weeks. The gestation period lasts approximately 26 to 31 days. Unlike egg-laying species, fry are born fully developed and independent, capable of swimming and feeding immediately.
Common Health Issues
- Common Health Issues: While generally hardy, Blue Cobra Guppies can be susceptible to common guppy health issues, including fungal infections, parasites, and diseases like guppy mouth rot. Additionally, they may experience constipation, swim bladder issues, and fin rot if water quality and nutrition are suboptimal.
- Preventive Methods: To safeguard the health of your Blue Cobra Guppies, maintain pristine water conditions through regular water changes and efficient filtration. Quarantine new fish to prevent disease introduction, and provide a balanced diet rich in essential nutrients.
- Compatibility: Blue Cobra Guppies are peaceful and thrive in community aquariums. They coexist harmoniously with other peaceful fish species like neon tetras, platies, and Corydoras catfish. Avoid housing them with aggressive or fin-nipping species.
- Special Care Instructions: To enhance their coloration, consider incorporating spirulina flakes into their diet. Ensure they have access to hiding spots and suitable tankmates to minimize stress.
- Legal Restrictions: Check local regulations regarding the ownership and breeding of Blue Cobra Guppies, as some regions may have specific rules related to the trade and care of ornamental fish.
Compatible Varieties for an Aquatic Ensemble
When selecting tankmates for Blue Cobra Guppies, consider other peaceful and similarly-sized fish species such as:
- Neon tetras
- Platy fish
- Corydoras catfish
- Dwarf gouramis
- Harlequin rasboras
- Endler's livebearers
- Cherry shrimp
Similarities between Blue Cobra Guppies and Other Guppies:
- Species: Blue Cobra Guppies (Poecilia reticulata) belong to the same species as other guppy varieties, making them all members of the Poecilia reticulata species.
- Size: Both Blue Cobra Guppies and other guppy types share a similar size range, with adults typically reaching lengths of around 1 to 2 inches.
- Livebearers: Like other guppy varieties, Blue Cobra Guppies are livebearers, giving birth to live fry rather than laying eggs.
- Omnivorous Diet: They all have an omnivorous diet, consuming a mixture of plant matter and small aquatic organisms.
Differences between Blue Cobra Guppies and Other Guppies:
- Coloration: The most significant difference is their coloration and pattern. Blue Cobra Guppies are characterized by their unique cobra-like stripes or patterns on their bodies, often in shades of blue, black, and white. Other guppy varieties may exhibit different color patterns, including solid colors, spots, or multicolored fins and bodies.
- Tail and Fin Shape: Blue Cobra Guppies often have distinct fin shapes, with their dorsal and caudal fins featuring the cobra-stripe pattern. Other guppy varieties may have different fin shapes, including elongated tails, fan-shaped fins, or other unique characteristics.
- Genetic Background: Blue Cobra Guppies have been selectively bred to emphasize their cobra-stripe pattern, resulting in their unique appearance. Other guppy varieties have been selectively bred for different aesthetic traits, leading to a wide range of color combinations and patterns.
- Availability: The availability of Blue Cobra Guppies may vary depending on your location and local breeders. Some guppy varieties, such as fancy guppies, may be more commonly found in the aquarium trade due to their popularity.
- Price: Due to their striking appearance, Blue Cobra Guppies can be relatively expensive compared to more common guppy varieties. The price of other guppy types can also vary, with fancy guppies often being more expensive than standard guppies.

Vegetables: To eat or not to eat?
Watermelon, Luigi Rignanese
Bible Reference: Read Romans 14:1-4 for Paul's example of vegetables; however, the entire Chapter 14 develops Paul's persuasive argument of acting out of love for our brothers.
The apostle Paul wrote the book "Romans" in about 57 A.D. It was written as a letter to the Roman Church from Corinth, Greece. Likely Phoebe carried the letter from Corinth to Rome (Romans 16:1-2). The theme of Romans is the revelation of God's judging and saving righteousness through Christ. In Chapter 14, Paul called for mutual acceptance between weak and strong Christians. Weak Christians felt that in order to remain close to God, they should eat some foods, e.g., vegetables, while abstaining from others, e.g. meat. In contrast, strong Christians accepted that what they ate was independent of their saving relationship with Christ.
Many of us cannot relate to how or why eating vegetables versus meat was so important to the Roman church. Today, a parallel is Christians who believe that drinking alcohol hinders their walk with Christ while other Christians believe that drinking alcohol in moderation is consistent with the Christian life.
In the first four verses of Romans 14, Paul provided three principles for Christians and Christian churches to live by:
Principle 1: We should welcome weaker Christians into our churches; but not for the purpose of disputing or arguing with them over their opinions. We should welcome them because they are fellow believers.
Principle 2: In the Christian church there must be mutual forbearance. The mature (strong) Christian must not despise his weak brother. Similarly, neither should a weak brother judge as a sinner a Christian who enjoys meat, e.g., ham, beef. God has received both groups of Christians into his family; both groups are members in good standing.
Principle 3: Each believer is a servant of the Lord; God is their master. God, the master of all Christians, will sustain those on both sides of the issue of what to eat.
At the beginning of the first millennium in Rome, most Christians were slaves or from the very poor class (plebeians). Their foods were simple and consisted of grains, vegetables, and fish; fish was often a luxury. Examples of vegetables included cabbage, cucumbers, leeks, lettuce, melons, onions, and pumpkins. Watermelon was a common vegetable found in both Rome and Palestine and will be used as an example of a vegetable.
The species name of watermelon is Citrullus lanatus, previously known as Citrullus vulgaris. Watermelons were indigenous to tropical Africa. Pictures of the watermelon were included in Egyptian pyramid paintings from 2000 B.C. Watermelon seeds were found in Iron Age deposits near the Dead Sea and at Arad, Israel.
Luigi Rignanese
Symbolism: Grace
What better plant to symbolize grace than the watermelon which supplied both water and food to the early Church? Grace is unmerited divine assistance that God gives humans for their regeneration or sanctification. Grace occurred through Christ giving his body and blood for the Church. The water of the melon reminds us of God's blood and the pulp of his body given up for us. The poorest people in the early Church were sustained by watermelons.
Reflection: Christians today would all be impoverished without Christ's grace.

 1. Hi, would like to ask You about onions and garlic and cabbage. Andrea moritz (ayrveda medecine say that garlic is bad, toxic. I ate today some onions raw fresh onions (white fresh) then it feels hard to digest but it cleans the body i think? the nose is cleaner but i feel heavy for my body.
 The wuestion to You is to eat or not to eat vegetables, onions?
 Best Wishes
 - Adam, Vegetables, as a whole, are great foods to eat. Onion and garlic in limited quantities are healthy; of course they have the side effect of causing bad breath. I have never heard that onions, unlike cucumbers, were difficult to digest. Most definitely garlic is not normally toxic.
 Blessings, Carolyn
 2. The annalogy with the lowly watermelon is the best I've ever read. Being from Mississippi, where the best watermelons in the world are grown, it is especially meaningful. Thanks so much.

ELKHART -- In about 90 percent of all births, the baby smoothly
transitions from the womb to the world. About 10 percent of the time,
an infant requires special assistance after delivery.
Some babies need stimulation or a little bit of oxygen when they are
born. And every now and then a baby requires intubation, medication,
or other extensive resuscitation measures.
Area hospitals such as Elkhart General Hospital are constantly working
to provide their medical personnel with the best training possible for
situations like this. And now, a new tool will assist them in
accomplishing that task.
The Elkhart General Hospital Foundation recently donated a
computerized infant simulator, or high-tech sim baby, to the

nursing staff who may need to resuscitate a newborn.
The training tool cost about $25,000.

Digital donations - new potential to accelerate philanthropy
 - Oscar Casalderrey and Kevin Prathama
Jakarta / Sat, March 6, 2021 / 01:08 am
Digital donations - new potential to accelerate philanthropy Paying donation: 'Zakat' (alms) commitee member serves a man paying alms at istiqlal mosque in Jakarta. (The Jakarta Post/Seto Wardhana)
The COVID-19 pandemic has disrupted 10 years of progress made towards eradicating poverty, increasing health standards, and improving access to education. At the same time however, philanthropy and digital donations have become increasingly important in addressing pressing needs and contributing to the achievement of the United Nations' Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
During the COVID-19 pandemic, many Indonesians have been expressing their generosity and supporting each other. The 2018 World Giving Index has acknowledged Indonesians as among the most generous countries in the world. With lockdowns and physical distancing restrictions in place during the pandemic, many have chosen to make their donations via online platforms to show their support and solidarity.
To understand trends in digital donations during the COVID-19 pandemic, Kopernik and GoPay collaborated on research with 1,319 respondents across 29 Indonesian provinces. The research, which is the first comprehensive research to map the digital donation ecosystem in Indonesia, shows that overall donations, both conventional and digital, increased in value by 20 percent during the pandemic, while the average value per digital donation increased by 72 percent during the same period.
The research found that millennials (age 24-39 years old) as the most frequent donors among the surveyed population, making 1.5 donations on average per month, while Gen-X (age 40-55 years old) made donations with the highest monetary value. During the pandemic, health and social issues became increasingly popular causes for people to contribute to, accounting for 27 percent and 28 percent of total donations respectively.
The pandemic has shed light on the potential of digital donations to mobilize people, particularly the younger generations who tend to be more tech-savvy, to take part in collaborative actions to support urgent needs. Unlike conventional donations, digital fundraising initiatives which typically spread through social media can reach a much larger audience transcending geographic and time boundaries to raise funds quickly for emergency needs.
With technological advancements, people can easily make donations using mobile apps and digital donation platforms from wherever they are, without the hassle of going out. People also have the freedom to choose their preferred donation amount when using digital payment systems.
The key players in the digital donation ecosystem recognize the growing trend of online donations. Nongovernmental organizations (NGOs), one of the key stakeholders benefiting from these developments, have been shifting their strategies to incorporate digital donations as a key source of their funding. Kitabisa - one of the top digital donation platforms reported a 25-fold increase in the number of NGO fundraising campaigns over the past four years. The NGOs we spoke with reported that setting up online donation campaigns and promoting them through social media has been relatively easy and impactful, especially for emergency responses.
Religious institutions managing zakat (Islamic charitable contributions) for decades, such as Amil Zakat Institutions (LAZ), reported that the value of digital donations received, has been doubling each year, for the past five years. In Indonesia. According to the Outlook Zakat Indonesia 2020, the total potential value of zakat donations from Indonesia's Muslim citizens has been calculated at Rp 233 trillion (US$16.6 billion), while the current amount of zakat donations is estimated to be around Rp 8 trillion or 3.4 percent of the total potential. This indicates a big opportunity for digital donations to support religious institutions to make it easier for people to donate by digitizing their zakat collections.
Public figures and influencers, with significant numbers of online supporters, also show an increasing interest in setting up campaigns on crowdfunding platforms and mobilizing their followers to support a range of causes. Collaborations between crowdfunding platforms and influencers and public figures could be a strategic opportunity to increase online donations for worthwhile campaigns.
The Indonesian government has also acknowledged the contribution of digital donations in boosting collaborative efforts to support charities. To support the growth of the online donation sector, the government plans to regulate the digital donations ecosystem to improve its credibility and transparency in order to gain people's trust when making contributions.
Despite the growing trend of digital donations, the research found that 24 percent of respondents are still reluctant to make a digital donation. The main reasons stated were a lack of knowledge about digital donation platforms and a lack of transparency on how the donation will be used. However, most respondents stated that they would be willing to make a digital donation if they knew where the money would be allocated.
As digital donations become more common in gathering collective support among society, those active in the digital donation ecosystem will need to ensure their credibility and transparency in fundraising and ensure that donations are allocated correctly to those in need in order to build and maintain trust amongst the public. For crowdfunding platforms, improving user experience and adding more features such as auto-debit to support recurring donations could help in growing the donor-base.
In the context of the COVID-19 pandemic, digital donations could play an important role in contributing to Indonesia's recovery from the pandemic and get back on track to achieving sustainable development.
