Sandinistas co-founder Tomas Borge dies in Nicaragua
The last surviving founder of the left-wing Sandinista movement in Nicaragua, Tomas Borge, has died aged 81.
Borge helped to create the Sandinista National Liberation Front in 1961.
In 1979, the Sandinista revolution overthrew dictator Anastasio Somoza and Borge served as interior minister in the new government of Daniel Ortega.
US President Ronald Reagan saw the revolutionaries as a threat and backed the right-wing Contras in the civil war that followed.
An estimated 30,000 people died in the fighting which lasted a decade and wrecked the country's economy.'Transcendental figure'
Borge was born into a poor family and dedicated himself to the struggle against the Somoza family, which had run Nicaragua for 40 years.
He received military training in Cuba before he helped to found the Sandinista movement.
The organisation was named after Augusto Cesar Sandino, who fought against US intervention in Nicaragua in the 1930s.
Borge became the powerful interior minister in the Ortega government of the 1980s, where he imposed censorship on the media and was accused of human rights violations.
However, he denied accusations that he was responsible for expelling and harassing clergymen during the war.
The Sandinistas were voted out of power in 1990.
Congressman Jacinto Suarez was quoted by the Associated Press news agency as saying Borge was "a transcendental figure in Nicaraguan history".
But the news agency also quoted Nicaraguan writer Gioconda Belli, who said of Borge's later life: "After 1990, I have the sense he gave up his revolutionary ideas... He ended up a tragic-comic figure".
Borge's final years saw Daniel Ortega return to government - he won presidential elections in 2006 and again in 2011.
Borge was admitted to hospital earlier this month for a lung infection and underwent surgery.

JAKARTA - Head of the National Cultural Heritage Expert Team, Junus Satrio Atmodjo, revealed that the Dutch tram tracks found in the Phase 2A MRT construction project are the oldest tram tracks in Indonesia.
The archaeologist who is a consultant in the Phase 2A MRT project said that the first railroad in the Indonesian railway system was built in 1869, which connected the city of Semarang with the Responsibility Station.
"Two years after that, a tramway was built in Jakarta. So what we are facing now is the oldest tramway in Indonesia," Junus said during a virtual discussion in Jakarta, quoted by Antara, Monday, December 27.
Junus explained that although the electric trams in Jakarta were no longer used, the tram tracks were never removed and removed, but instead were buried under the road.
The Dutch colonial era tram track was found in the Glodok-Kota MRT Jakarta Phase 2A project, precisely under the TransJakarta line or on Jalan Pintu Besar Selatan.
Junus admitted that he had predicted that tram tracks would be found in the project for the construction of the Glodok-Kota MRT station and subway line.
This tram rail has actually been found before near the Fatahillah Museum. "So we can predict that we will also find the same tram tracks at the station construction site," he said.
Junus added that since the excavation was carried out in October, some of the tram tracks have surfaced.
The object of cultural heritage was found during excavations at a depth of 15-110 centimeters (cm) from the road surface.
The entire condition of the tram tracks is also considered to be still in good condition to be moved, stored and conserved.

Agriculture - Overview
From butter churns to diesel tractors, the Museum's agricultural artifacts trace the story of Americans who work the land. Agricultural tools and machinery in the collections range from a John Deere plow of the 1830s to 20th-century cultivators and harvesters. The Museum's holdings also include overalls, aprons, and sunbonnets; farm photographs; milk cans and food jars; handmade horse collars; and some 200 oral histories of farm men and women in the South. Prints in the collections show hundreds of scenes of rural life. The politics of agriculture are part of the story, too, told in materials related to farm workers' unions and a group of artifacts donated by the family of the labor leader Cesar Chavez.

"Revamp Your Website's Look with This Unbelievably Easy Image Rotation Hack for WordPress!"
Rotating Images in WordPress: A Comprehensive Guide
Rotating an image in WordPress may seem like a straightforward task, but it is not always obvious. There are various methods to adjust the orientation of an image in WordPress, whether you want to improve the aesthetics or position of the image within a post or page. In this article, we'll explore several ways to rotate images in WordPress, including built-in tools, plugins, and external software. Additionally, we'll cover common mistakes and troubleshooting tips.
Important Note
Before diving into the methods, it is essential to understand that rotating an image in WordPress only changes how it appears within the post or page but not the actual file itself. Therefore, if you want to make permanent changes to the image file, consider using photo editing programs like GIMP or Adobe Photoshop.
Method 1: Using WordPress Image Editor
The simplest way to rotate an image is to use the built-in image editor in WordPress. Follow the steps below:
 1. Log in to your WordPress dashboard and navigate to the post or page where you want to rotate the image.
 2. Select the image you want to edit and click on it. This action opens up the image properties menu.
 3. In the image properties menu, click on the "Edit" button, indicated by a pencil.
 4. Choose to rotate the image either left or right using the rotation buttons. Alternatively, flip it upside down using the rotate 180 button.
 5. Once done, click "Save" to update the post or page.

Method 2: Simple Image Sizes Plugin
If you have multiple images to rotate, editing each one can be tedious. Fortunately, the Simple Image Sizes plugin simplifies the process. The steps are:
 1. In your WordPress dashboard, go to Plugins > Add New and search for "Simple Image Sizes." Install then activate the plugin.
 2. Next, go to Settings > Media > Image Sizes.
 3. Select the images you want to edit by checking the boxes next to their file names. Also, choose all the images by selecting the box next to the "Thumbnail, Medium, and Large sizes" label.
 4. Scroll down to the "Flip and rotate" section, then use the dropdown menu to select the rotation angle you want to apply. It is also possible to flip the image horizontally or vertically.
 5. Finally, click on "Save Changes" to apply the changes to the selected images.
Method 3: Using External Software
For more precise control, external photo editing software like Adobe Photoshop can be useful. Follow the steps below:
 1. Select File > Open and pick the desired image to rotate in Adobe Photoshop.
 2. Select the Rotate tool from the toolbar on the left side of the screen.
 3. Adjust the angle of the image using the Rotate tool. Use the degrees input box to specify the exact amount you want to rotate.
 4. Save the edited image as a compatible file format like JPEG or PNG.
Method 4: Using CSS Code
Using CSS code, you can rotate the image without causing any visual disturbance. Follow these steps:
 1. Log in to your WordPress dashboard and go to the post or page where the image is located.
 2. Select the image to edit and click on it to reveal the image properties menu.
 3. Click on the "Advanced options" tab and enter a class name for the image in the "CSS Class" field, like "rotated."
 4. Go to Appearance > Customize > Additional CSS and paste in the following code: .rotated {transform: rotate(90deg);}
 5. Adjust the degree input to rotate the image angle, e.g., rotate(180deg) flips the image upside down.
 6. Save the changes and preview the post or page.

Common Mistakes and Troubleshooting Tips
In case you encounter issues while rotating your images, consider these common mistakes and tips:
 - Ensure that you are using the correct image size for best results. A large photo resized to a smaller size but not compressed well will result in distorted or blurred images.
 - Check your plugin settings to ensure that you've set them up correctly.
 - If changes fail to reflect on your post or page, clear your cache, and refresh the page.
 - If all options fail, try disabling other plugins or switching to a different theme to fix the problem.
Conclusion
Rotating images is a critical aspect of enhancing the aesthetics and readability of your posts or pages. Whether using WordPress's built-in tools, plugins, external software, or CSS code, the process is straightforward. Correctly rotating your images helps to create an engaging user experience for your audience.

New Mexico State Flag
The State Flag of New Mexico has a modern interpretation of an ancient symbol of a sun design as seen on a late 19th century water jar from Zia Pueblo. This pueblo is thought to have been one of the Seven Golden Cities of Cibola, which explorer Vasquez de Coronado sought. The red sun symbol was then called a "Zia" and is shown on a field of gold. The red and gold are the colors of Queen Isabela of Castile that the Spanish Conquistadors brought to the New World.
The flags of Spain, the Republic of Mexico, the Confederate States of America, and the United States of America have all flown over the "Land of Enchantment" during the long history of the state.

What Time Is It? History and Typology of Time Signals From the Telegraph to the Digital
Maria Rikitianskaia, Gabriele Balbi
Time signals provide a sense of "despatialized simultaneity," a rhythm to the everyday lives of billions of people, and experiences of liveness. This article offers a history of time signals from the 19th to the 21st centuries, identifying three typologies: scheduled time signals, sent mainly by radio and TV; on-demand, such as those of the speaking clock; and automatized, transmitted by the Network Time Protocol for digital devices. The article stresses the importance of time signals in media history and the significance of an infrastructural network of timekeeping/timesharing for the functioning of media themselves.

In Kenya, secondary school teachers are responsible for teaching the curriculum subjects that are approved by the government. This is one of the most important stages in the education of students as it greatly influences their career path. Over the years, Kenyan teachersthrough their union, Kenya National Union of Teachers (KNUT), have been able to negotiate improved salary scales. For secondary school teachers, there is more than teaching. This important profession calls for the preparation of lesson plans, teaching based on the stipulated curriculum, testing students, encouraging them and even counseling them. This guide gives information on the secondary school teachers salary in Kenya and their qualifications.
Secondary school teachers can either be employed by the government in public schools or in private schools. In most cases, such teachers must be university graduates with a degree in education and registered by the Teachers Service Commission (TSC). Public school teachers are paid using the TSC salary structure while private school teachers' salary is usually determined at the school level. The typical responsibilities of secondary school teachers include:
- Preparation of lesson plans
- Contact time with students
- Marking student' work
- Attending staff meetings
- Liaising with parents
- Monitoring extracurricular activities
- Continuous professional development
Job description for secondary school teachers
- The job description of secondary school teachers goes beyond the classroom. Based on the basic salary for secondary school teachers in Kenya, teachers are paid to perform a number of roles. As is expected, the primary role of teachers is the dissemination of knowledge guided by the curriculum of the country. In Kenya, teachers are hired based on the specific subjects they have specialized in to teach.
- Apart from teaching, secondary school teachers are expected to prepare lesson plans for their classes. Such lesson plans ought to be in accordance with the national curriculum. The transfer of knowledge through specific learning subjects has to be done in a creative, interactive and engaging manner.
- Teaching requires that students be tested periodically to check their progress. This is achieved with the aid of individual assignments and continuous assessment tests. It is the duty of the teacher to mark the students' work and providing necessary feedback in return. Here, teachers are supposed to give constructive criticism, encouragement, and support. Most importantly, modern teaching pays attention to the individual needs of each student and customize learning content to fit those needs.
- The job description of secondary school teachers also requires them to take part in events and projects outside the classroom. Schools have outings that are educational, cultural and sports oriented. During such events, any teacher or group of teachers can be called upon to accompany the students. The teaching profession does not mean working with students all the time. Frequently, teachers are required to attend meetings with other teachers and school staff. In addition, they have to attend seminars and training from time to time.
Secondary school teacher qualifications
Qualifications are important because they are used to evaluate high school teachers salary. Secondary school teachers are required to have a grade of C+ and above in their KCSE. This grade should be accompanied with a diploma in education. Alternatively, one can have a KCSE C+ grade and a Bachelor's degree in Education or a Postgraduate Diploma in Education. Below are some of the qualifications for one to be hired as a teacher in Kenya:
- Postgraduate Diploma in Education.or KCSE score of a C+ and a Diploma in Education or KSCE C+ and Bachelor's in education
- One has to be a Kenyan citizen
- The age of an applicant should not be more than 45 years
- An applicant must be registered as a teacher as stipulated by section 23 of the Teachers Service Commission Act of 2012
- Possession of original professional and academic certificates
Secondary school teachers' salary
According to Implementation of CBA for Teachers, as of 1st July 2017, the grading structure based on Job Groups "G" to "R" was replaced with Teacher Scales ("T- Scale5" to "T- Scale 15". The new Collective Bargaining Agreement saw teachers allowances being amalgamated into their basic salary. The Kenyan teachers salary scale is determined based on the qualifications and experience of the teacher. Some of the teacher allowances include:
- House allowance
- Hardship allowance
- Commuter allowance
- Annual leave allowance
- Disability guide allowance
- Special school allowance
The salary of secondary school teachers in Kenya is better now than it was a few years ago. According to Circular No 15-2018 implementation of CBA phase 11, the salary range of chief principals is from 102,807- 148,360 Shillings. Senior principals and deputy principal I earn between 87,900 and 109,249 shillings. The average salary of a deputy principal II is 68,428 shillings. Deputy Principals III and senior masters take home between 59,286 and 77,840 shillings. The following are salary scales for other secondary school teachers:
Secondary teacher I: 29,285- 47,896 shillings
Secondary teacher II: 21,719- 42,642 shillings
Secondary teacher III: 25,929- 31,956 shillings
Now you have the secondary school teachers salary in Kenya, minimum credentials to qualify for application as well as the responsibilities of you as a teacher. Go ahead and prepare for the interview. Goodluck!

Perhaps this belongs on stackoverflow, but since it could have some applicability to non-tech contexts, thought I'd post here.
Is there a word that means "make something that is variable constant"?
For example, in programming, I might have a variable
queueSize that could be set to different values for different queues. Later I decide to make this a fixed (constant) value for all queues. What is a word to describe this conversion?
A real-world (non-programming) example is converting from a variable tax-rate to a flat (constant) tax-rate. I proposed below that, in light of this example, the word
flatten could be used to answer my question. However, this word does not conventionally mean "to make constant", and has other meanings in the context of several programming languages.
To be clear, I'm not looking for a word/expression the means changing a variable from one type to another (casting). Rather, I mean keeping the type the same, but changing a field from a variable to a constant value.

Question 1. Let $R$ be a polynomial ring over a field $k$. Assume that $R$ is graded in the usual way (i.e., each variable has degree $1$). Let $I$ and $J$ be two ideals of $R$ such that $I$ is generated in degree $\leq a$ (that is, there is a set of generators of $I$ that have degrees $\leq a$) and $J$ is generated in degree $\leq b$. Is it true that the ideal $I \cap J$ is generated in degree $\leq a+b$?
When $R$ is a univariate polynomial ring, this is simply claiming that the lcm of two polynomials of degrees $\leq a$ and $\leq b$ is a polynomial of degree $\leq a+b$; of course this is correct. But this kind of logic does not generalize to more variables. (It is easy to see that Question 1 has a positive answer when $I$ and $J$ are monomial ideals.)
If true, Question 1 would give a new (inductive) proof for the following theorem (part of the Subspace arrangement theorem of Derksen and Sidman -- see Theorem 2.1 in their A sharp bound for the Castelnuovo-Mumford regularity of subspace arrangements, arXiv:math/0109035v1):
Theorem 2. Let $R$ be a polynomial ring over a field $k$. Assume that $R$ is graded in the usual way (i.e., each variable has degree $1$). Let $I_1, I_2, \ldots, I_t$ be $t$ homogeneous ideals of $R$ that are all generated in degree $1$ (that is, each $I_i$ has the form $I_i = V_i R$ for some $k$-vector subspace $V_i$ of the degree-$1$ homogeneous component of $R$). Then, the ideal $I_1 \cap I_2 \cap \cdots \cap I_t$ is generated in degree $\leq t$.
Some more questions suggest themselves:
Question 3. (If the answer to Question 1 is negative:) Does the answer to Question 1 become positive if we replace "ideal" by "homogeneous ideal"?
(This would still be enough to reprove Theorem 2.)
Truth be told, I'm less interested in the polynomial case than I am in the exterior algebra case:
Question 4. What if we replace the polynomial ring by an exterior algebra?
(You can assume $k$ has characteristic $0$ for simplicity.)
Finally, if all these questions have negative answers, here is what I am really looking for:
Question 5. Is there an elementary proof of the analogue of Theorem 2 for exterior algebras (which is part of Theorem 9 in Francesca Gandini, Degree bounds for invariant skew polynomials, arXiv:2108.01767v1)?
"Elementary" means no use of nontrivial commutative algebra for me (I'm actually fine with Schur functors, although I have a hunch that they too can be avoided).
I'm putting the invariant theory tag on this question because the ultimate use of Question 5 is in Francesca Gandini's proof of the analogue of the Noether bound for the exterior algebra, which I have asked about in Noether's bound for anticommutative invariant theory (diff. forms instead of polynomials)? and am now trying to understand...

The first edition of KBULG's Native Plant Guide was launched in late May 2003. KBULG produced a second edition of its Native Plant Guide for Karlkurla Bushland Park & the Goldfields. The new guide contains updated species information and images, while a wider range of plant species found in the Goldfields have been included in the new guide.
The new, updated Native Plant Guide links in with existing signage in Karlkurla Bushland Park and was launched at the Boulder Community Markets on Sunday, June 21st. KBULG's native plant guide is a must-have for plant enthusiasts as it not only provides detailed information about species' characteristics, species' habitat, traditional anthropogenic uses, in addition to other interesting facts rarely mentioned in conventional guidebooks. It's also the perfect plant guide for plant-interested visitors and new residents to the region as high-quality images make plant identification easy and fun.
The guide is available from the KBULG office, Kalgoorlie Visitors Centre, Western Australian Museum Kalgoorlie-Boulder, Loopline Museum Boulder and the Department of Parks and Wildlife Kalgoorlie. Email _EMAIL_ to get your copy.
As part of Australian National Science Week the Kalgoorlie Science Teachers Network, coordinated by Jaclyn Drake, brought together young people, local elders and scientists from across the Goldfields in the new and exciting 'Explore Karlkurla' project. The purpose of the project is to educate the community and in particular the younger generation about the Great Western Woodlands (with an emphasis on an indigenous perspective) through excursions to Karlkurla Park. Young people undertake scientific and artistic observations under the guidance of experts and local elders on country before producing a bush tucker map for Karlkurla Park linked with original video clips via QR codes. In September 2015 students guided groups of family, friends and the public through Karlkurla Park using the map and videos they had produced to share their new knowledge with the community.

Investing Outperformance is Necessarily Rare
Unlike the fictional Lake Wobegon where "all the children are above average," in the real world we can't all be above average. If one investor gets above-average returns, there must be some other investor whose returns are below average. Because of a compounding effect, there actually have to be many below-average investors to compensate for one above-average investor.
Consider two investors, A and B, who each start with $10,000 to invest. Suppose that after 40 years, they have an average of $250,000. Their average compound return per year works out to 8.4%. If investor A ends up with $475,000, then investor B must end up with only $25,000 to make the average $250,000. But look at their individual compound average yearly returns:
Investor A: 10.1% (1.6% above average)
Investor B: 2.3% (5.6% below average)
So, what has happened here? If A and B exactly balance each other out to give the correct average portfolio size, why is B's yearly return so far below average, while A's return is not much above average? This is a compounding effect. Investor A ended up with 1.9 times the average portfolio size, but investor B ended up with a portfolio 10 times smaller than average. This difference between 1.9 and 10 leads to the +1.6% and -5.6% figures.
Let's look at this from another point of view. Suppose that a group of investors each start with the same portfolio size and invest for 40 years. Suppose that outperformers make 10% per year above the average return, and underperformers make 10% per year below the average return. How many underperformers does it take to compensate for one outperformer? The answer is 45!
In a more extreme example, if Warren Buffett has outperformed the average by $40 billion, it would take a million investors each underperforming by $40,000 to compensate. So, we see that investing outperformance is necessarily rare and that there have to be many who underperform for each high flyer. Of course, none of this applies in Lake Wobegon.
 1. Michael, I tried to recreate your calculations using FV() from Excel and could not get the same numbers. Close, but not the same.
 I like your conclusion: on the long term success in attempting to outperform the market is much less likely than not.
 2. _USER_: I rounded all percentages to the nearest tenth of a percent. Another thing to consider is that in this context the difference between 20% return and 10% return is not 10%, but is (1.2/1.1)-1=9.1%. Perhaps one of these two things accounts for the differences you see.
 3. This is really mind blowing. Seems more plausible that someone who compounds at a 2% better than market averages would be offset by someone who compounds at 2% worse than market averages.
 I guess that applies for each individual year, but when compounding over a long period, the (theoretical) loser lags further and further behind. Very interesting.
 4. _USER_: That's right. Over time the winner's portfolio grow and there are more dollars attracting the higher return.

NEW ORLEANS, LA.- Loyal Forces: Animals in WWII is an exhibit focused on the animals employed and encountered throughout World War II, from the Home Front to the Pacific. Life-size horses and mules, harnessed in authentic World War II saddles and equipment, along with life-size mannequins, dressed in authentic World War II gear, will demonstrate the unique impression made by military animals and their masters. Animals were appreciated both for their labor and love, but unfortunately not all were shown humane treatment when their usefulness was no longer in dire need. This exhibit will focus on each different animals specific usefulness and specific role within a campaign.
Loyal Forces: Animals in WWII will examine four types of animals used by armies throughout the world from 1939 to 1945. An American Coast Guard horse and horseman will feature artifacts from the Home Front and civil defense. A German horse and reconnaissance soldier will depict the European Theater of Operations and the reliance of German forces on horses for several aspects of the war. Pigeons and their varied equipment used in Europe and to cross the English Channel will also be featured. A large part of the exhibit will be dedicated to war dogs including a look inside a veterinary clinic in the Pacific Islands. Finally, mules in the jungles of Burma will demonstrate how only they could handle these strenuous workloads and conditions.
The exhibit will also include two electronic viewing sections for displaying U.S. servicemen encountering exotic animals from North Africa, the Middle East, Asia and the Pacific Islands. It will also feature a slideshow of beloved military mascots from every service branch. Another electronic element will utilize touch screen technology to allow visitors to explore the contents of a German horse veterinary kit and learn how its contents would have been used to treat these animals.
Loyal Forces: Animals in WWII will allow visitors to see another side of World War II, and demonstrate how lessons learned then continue to help us today in the utilization of animals and their unique abilities today.

VSDC wouldn't be called a free editor unless it offered a free way to record voice over video. Here is a detailed instruction:
 1. Open VSDC Free Video Editor and click "Import Content" to import the video that you intend to give voice to.
 2. Proceed to the "Tools" tab at the top menu and select the "Voice Recorder" tool. A new window will open.
 Adding voice over video for free in VSDC Video Editor
 3. Choose the desired format of your voice recording in the "Formats" tab.
 4. Proceed to the lower sections of the menu to select the output file destination, its quality, and the device you will use for recording.
 5. Place a checkmark in the "split file" section, if you are working with a really long video. This way your output audio will be split into several recordings. It will come in handy during the matching of your recording with the video. Mistiming can't be fixed with a single audio file in place, so having multiple files will help you perfectly adjust your sound and video tracks.
 6. Select the duration of your audio chunks in the drop-down menu on the right depending on the length of your video.
 7. Press the "Start Recording" button at the top right corner of the screen. Launching your video in a separate window might be a good idea too. You want to know what you are commenting, right? Press "Stop Recording" when you are ready and close the "Voice Recorder" window.
 8. Go back to VSDC video editing window with your imported video. Right-click your video on a timeline and go to "Audio Effects --> Amplitude --> Silence". This will silence the original soundtrack of your video.

 9. Go to the "Editor" tab, select "Add Object" and choose "Audio" from the drop-down list. Now proceed to the location on your computer where you saved you recordings, import them to the timeline and use drag-and-drop motion to place them in line with the video segments they are intended for.
As you have probably noticed, both methods lead to the same result: your recorded audio files placed beside your video on a timeline in the correct sequence. The only difference is, with a free method, you have to manually record, import and position them. With an easy method, manual work is taken out of the equation, making voice over videos much faster. Which one is better? You tell us :-)


Angel Number 20 Meanings – Why Are You Seeing 20
We all know that numbers are most often used as signs by our guardian angels as they are not able to communicate with us directly. Since the angels don't have a physical form, they look forward to different signs and symbols in order to communicate with humans. As we live in the modern days, we are always surrounded by numbers everywhere.

Facts about NVQs: what's involved in studying them, how they are assessed and how long they take to complete.
NVQ stands for national vocational qualification. Each one includes practical work-related tasks. They're available in more than 1,000 subjects ranging from plumbing to hairdressing.
How are they studied?
NVQs can be based in a college, school, or workplace.
 - They're a good choice if you know what job you'd like to do.
 - There are five NVQ levels, so you can start at a level that suits you and work your way up.
 - There are no age limits and no special entry requirements, although you might need to complete a Level 2 NVQ before starting a Level 3 programme.
How are they assessed?
NVQs test your abilities in the workplace. You'll complete training and the following assessment to prove you can do certain work-related tasks:
 - Portfolio assessment – where you build up evidence of what you've done at work.
 - Observation – where an assessor watches you work and checks that you can do the required tasks.
The levels you'll be expected to reach are based on national standards for the particular job you want to do. Assessors sign off units when you've met these standards.
How long do they take?
 - NVQs don't have to be completed in a specific amount of time, but most people find it takes about a year to complete an NVQ Level 1, 2, or 3.
 - They can be taken by full-time employees or by school and college students who have a work placement or part-time job that enables them to develop the appropriate skills.

Text Area fields - Line breaks removed when appending to thread via business rule
Answer ID 8578 | Last Review Date 04/01/2021
Why are the line breaks removed from my text area fields when they are inserted into the incident thread via a business rule?
Text Area type Custom Fields, Appended via Business Rules
Oracle B2C Service, All supported versions
When the contents of a text area or text field custom field are appended to the incident thread using variables, the line breaks are removed.
This behavior is expected because the text area custom fields store data in plain text format. When a variable is applied to a thread entry, the content of the variable is inserted as plain text content in an HTML environment. This removes the line breaks in the text area field and inserts everything as a single string.
The only ways to insert the contents of a text area field and keep the line breaks is to manually insert the appropriate line breaks in a thread entry while the thread editor is in rich text mode or insert at each line break in the custom field or change the thread type to plain text.
Text area will show content in plain text format.


you can find it out by running the following:
$ twitter-to-sqlite fetch \
 "_URL_ \
 | grep '"id"' | head -n 1
Design notes
 - Tweet IDs are stored as integers, to afford sorting by ID in a sensible way
 - While we configure foreign key relationships between tables, we do not ask SQLite to enforce them. This is used by the following table to allow the followers-ids and friends-ids commands to populate it with user IDs even if the user accounts themselves are not yet present in the users table.

Writing a Jetty Handler
The org.mortbay.jetty.Handler interface provides Jetty's core of content generation or manipulation. Classes that implement this interface are used to coordinate requests, filter requests and generate content.
The core API of the Handler interface is
The target of a handler is an identifier for the resource that should handle the passed request. This is normally the URI that is parsed from a HTTP Request. However, in two key circumstances the target may differ from the URI of the passed request:
- If the request has been dispatched to a named resource, such as a named servlet, then the target is the name of that resource.
- If the request is being made by a call to RequestDispatcher.include(...)
then the target is the URI of the included resource and will be different to the URI of the actual request.
The Request and Response
The request and response objects used in the signature of the handle method are HttpServletRequest and HttpServletResponse. These are the standard APIs and are moderately restricted in what can be done to the request and response. More often than not, access to the jetty implementations of these classes is required: Request and Response. However, as the request and response may be wrapped by handlers, filters and servlets, it is not possible to pass the implementation directly. The following mantra will retrieve the core implementation objects from under any wrappers:
Handlers are usually arranged in a list and a request presented to each handler in turn until (or at most) one indicates that the request has been handled. In this situation, this will allow handlers to:
- Ignore requests that are not applicable
- Handle requests by populating the response and/or generating content
- Modify the request but allow it to pass onto the next handler(s). Headers and attributes may be modified or an InputStream filter added
- Modify the response but allow the request to pass onto the next handler(s). Headers may be modified or OutputStream filters added
These are the handlers that implement the org.mortbay.jetty.Handler interface package:
There are some examples of implementing custom handlers in the Embedded Examples.

Functional Data Analysis: Discrete Observations to Functional Representations
Functional data can come from many different areas of study. Some of the most common examples come from finance (for example stock prices over time), or from health research (such as fMRI time series). Analyzing data of this form has been done traditionally using time series analysis techniques. However, viewing the data as functional, rather than individual observed points, can lead to more natural interpretations and analysis. Here we will be looking at a single example data set, and learning how to represent discrete data as functional data objects.

Model Test and Numerical Simulation for Support Time of Tunnel in Loess
The work presented in this paper focuses on support time for tunnel, which has much effect on stability of tunnel. Based on loess tunnel of Zhengzhou-Xi'an high-speed passenger rail line in China, large scale model test with geometric proportion 1: 20 was applied to study on different support time. Supplemental numerical analysis was carried out to investigate the effect of release ratio of stress which cannot be covered by model test. It is revealed that it is asynchronous change for deformation, strain and stress of surround rock. If the supporting constructs prematurely, internal force of support would be excessive greatly and if the supporting constructs too late, it will bring excessive slack pressure which leads to the plastic zone unfavorable, even tunnel collapse. The reasonable support time can improve self-bearing capability of surrounding rock and reduce the cost. The limited displacements about 17.8 cm for crown and 12.9 for horizontal convergence are gained. The research results can act as reference for similar materials tunnel and underground engineering construction.

Yogurt or kefir for parrots, hormonal Eclectus, alternative supplements
I've heard Parrots in general can have yogurt or greek yogurt. Can they have kefir? I make BOTH my own and do know you HAVE to make them different, but can they have kefir since kefir doesn't really have lactose.
Are female eclectus more or less hormonal caged with a male?
Do you feel it is good to give macaws or eclectus hemp?
Hi Mary,
In general, parrots should not have any dairy products. However, a small bite isn't going to harm a parrot. Kefir is not likely to be any better for a parrot than any type of yogurt. The way most kefir is made, makes it very high in sugar and parrots should not have high sugar content foods. But again, one bite is OK.
Any bird is going to be more hormonal if it is around or caged with another bird, even if they are the same gender. But yes, a female is going to be more hormonal around a male. She is also more likely to end up laying eggs. As to hormonal behavior, this is also a yes, and when birds are caged together, even if they are the same sex, they tend to become less tame.
Sterilized hemp seed used to be included in most seed mixes for pet birds, and it still is in some cases. As to any health benefit, there have not been any specific studies. They are beginning to study the CBD oil and any potential benefits or harm.
Thank you for asking Lafeber,

The derivative is 0 at a stationary point--in fact that's the definition
of stationary point
Not sure if you'd need a picture of the graph or not; don't think you would.
It just looks like an upside down parabola, but starts at 0 and cuts back through the x-axis.
The curve (C) has the equation
The point A on C is a stationary point (is just a point at where the parabola turns back down [the tiny bit where it's flat]), and C cuts the x-axis at the point B.
Show that the x-coordinate of B is 3.
[I would of thought that if i substituted 3 into the above equation, y would equal 0?] it equals -9 however.
Find the coordinates of A.

Why incorporate data into communications?
Special Olympics has many stories that illustrate its impact, but objective data can be used to strengthen these stories. In many cases, this data can make the difference between a nice story and a winning proposal. More and more donors and partners, for example, want evidence that their investment in Special Olympics is truly making a difference. Research data gives them that evidence. The same is true for a media pitch. Journalism is a competitive environment. Reporters have many organizations providing them with information, and use of data can be an effective hook that makes a Special Olympics story stand out from others.

Ring Culture Pots
Traditional Ring Culture is where Bottomless Plant Pots are rested on a bed of porous aggregate (such as gravel). By following the Ring Culture method you avoid root diseases and you allow roots access to a large amount of moist material - this is why Ring Culture Pots are ideal when growing greenhouse crops such as tomatoes, peppers, and aubergines that are susceptible to soil-borne problems.
You can adapt the traditional method of ring culture to get the best crops from your grow bags. Simply position three Bottomless Pots on top of the grow bag - removing the polythene under each pot so the plants roots can grow straight into the bag. Plant into the Bottomless Pots. As your plants grow simply top up the pots with more compost - this encourages the growth of extra roots out of the covered stem - resulting in stronger plants. Growing plants in this way you can also create a two tier root system - by watering into the pot and into the grow bag.

GROW is the 2013 theme for the National FFA Organization. At Eastside High School, we take this theme seriously and hope to GROW our FFA chapter and the students' involvement at the school, county, region, state and national level.
Eastside High School FFA has taken this theme and included I GROW in such areas as leadership, community, and agriculture. Our students have been very busy this year and it does not look like we are slowing down anytime soon. Students have participated in different Career Development Events in areas such as Floral Design, Tractor Driving, Meats Judging, FFA Quiz, Creed Speaking Competition, Poultry, Wildlife, Livestock and Equine Judging. We have had several "Top 10" finishes and are proud of all of our contestants.
Students from the chapter have also participated in several leadership activities, starting in July with the Chapter Officer Leadership Training.
The students planned a Program of Activities for the year. The Program of Activities encompasses leadership, community service, fundraising, and agricultural awareness activities for the year. The POA is turned into the Georgia FFA Organization at the beginning of the year and the activities are followed by the chapter to improve community relations, leadership skills and raise awareness of FFA and agricultural activities in Newton County and beyond.
In April, the Eastside FFA chapter will be attending the Georgia State Convention held in Macon. Our chapter will be spending several hours during the convention to help with boxing up canned and boxed goods for distribution to local food banks in the Macon area.
Prior to the convention, chapter members are encouraged to bring in canned and boxed goods for this community service project.
Recently, we were privileged to be able to donate some fresh fall vegetables from our greenhouse and garden to the Rainbow House. The Rainbow House is a homeless shelter that helps people in Newton County. The chapter donated turnip greens, collards, beets and radishes to the food kitchen.
We hope to be able to raise some summer vegetables in our garden to donate in the Newton County area this spring. These will include tomatoes and peppers.
We continue to GROW in our community and hopefully in Newton County residents minds.

What is the power consumption for the Chroma 63205 DC LOAD? During normal operation, used as a load for 54V, 100A. Does it need 3-phase connection?
63200 DC LoadThe 63200 DC Load is a LOAD. The Load gets its current from the source that is hooked to the LOAD Connections. The 120/240 Vac input to the load is only used to power the Fans, and Bias Power Supply to control the Load and does not require power greater than 150Watts. The Power is from what ever source your customer is attaching to the Load Terminals.
No, it doesn't need a 3-phase connection. It's a simple NEMA plug.
What is the purpose of the CZ mode on the 63600 series DC Load? Can an example be provided?
Constant Impedance mode or CZ mode improves the loading behavior of constant current and power making the loading current more realistic. You can specify the values of a series R and L as well as a shunt R and C. In this mode, the minimum loading current transient time is 400 µs.
What is the response time of the current, voltage, and power regulation, and through what interface?
Through GPIB interface, the response time is about 35ms in 63200 series, 3ms in 62000P series DC Power Supply (with USB version, if not is 20ms), 3ms in 63600 series DC Loads under CC mode, 3.6ms under CR mode, 6.8ms under CV mode, 3.6ms under CP mode.
What is the sampling rate of the current, and voltage measurements?
What is the significance of having "three current ranges" in your loads?
A third, low current operating and measurement range has been designed into the 63600 DC Loads to provide solutions for emerging sleep, idle and standby mode testing required by Energy Star consumer electronics. This capability eliminates having to use complex and unique test bench equipment. Ideal for all types of consumer electronics when precision current settings and measurements are required at milliamp and microamp levels.
What's the difference between the 6310A series and the 63600 series?
The 63600 series is a high feature electronic load. In a nutshell, the 63000 series can be loaded with 5 modules rather than 4 providing more power and has three unique features: constant impedance (CZ) mode, digitizing functions, and three current ranges per load. The 6310A however, offers an LED simulating load that is exclusive that series. View our a Chroma DC Loads comparison chart.
When regulating current, is the measured current read the actual current, or is it the initial desired current?
Yes, when you send the "measure" command to instrument, you can read the actual current. And when you send the "fetch" command to instrument, you can read the value from buffer.
When regulating voltage, is the measured voltage read the actual voltage, or is it the initial desired voltage?
Yes, when you send the "measure" command to instrument, you can read the actual voltage. And when you send the "fetch" command to instrument, you can read the value from buffer.
How to set your 63640-80-80 Load modules for 221Amps at 1V in Constant Resistance Mode.
DC Electronic LoadStep 1: Set the ALL_RUN Feature to ON it is located in the SETUP menu to access the SETUP menu press the ADVA and ENTER keys simultaneously. This must be set on each of your loads.
Step 2: Set the Range to Low (L) by pressing the RANGE key until the (L) indicator is lit. This must be done on each load.
Step 3: Set the CR Mode by pressing the MODE key until a small CR appears on the Load Display. This must be done on each load.
Step 4: Set the Resistance on loads 1 thru 4 to 0.02Ω then on Load 5 set the ressitance to 0.05Ω.

When paralleling 5 of the 63640-80-80 Loads you will need to set each load individually. You can not use Master/Slave Mode, you will be limited to set the resistor value to 0.01Ω and can't set the 0.045Ω needed to achieve 221Amps at 1Vdc. Since you want 221Amps you can set (4) of the loads to CRL and 0.02Ω and set one load to 0.05Ω. To synchronize the loads to turn on and off together you can go to SETUP and select ALL_RUN and set it to ON. You will need to set this on each load module. This will give you a total current of approx. 220Amps at 1Vdc. The Loads you have can only be set to 0.01Ω minimum in Constant Resistance Mode Low Range (CRL).
I am testing a fuel cell and need to draw a large amount of current near zero volts, how can I do this with Chroma's electronic loads?
In a previous FAQ the topic of the load's ability to draw full current down to low voltage levels is addressed. However, if even lower voltages are required user's may use a dc power supply in series the the load, effectively floating the load above ground. This technique will allow full current to be draw at zero volts. See Chroma's application note on this subject for further details and hook up information.
The 6310 Load Modules can NOT work in a 6310A mainframe
This is because since 6310 series release, there are hundreds of load module F/W in the field. It's difficult to control what module F/W is going to work with new 6310A series DC Load mainframe. So the 6310 Load Modules will NOT work in a 6310A series mainframe.
The 6310A Load Modules can be used in the old 6310 mainframes but they will lose the newer features.
This is because the 6310A Series mainframe has the new features built in to the hardware and firmware to control the 6310A Series DC Load modules new features. The 6310 do not have this.
What is the lowest operating voltage of Chroma's DC Loads?
Chroma's DC Loads are among the best in the industry for low voltage applications. Each of Chroma's DC Load families have a published derating profile showing at what voltage the loads begin to derate. As an example, Chroma's Model 63600 DC Load will draw full current down to approximately 0.4VDC and then linearly derates to about 100mV.
How are LED Drivers typically tested?
LED drivers are usually tested in one of the following ways:
 - Using LEDs
 - Using resistors for loading
 - Using Electronic Loads in Constant Resistance (CR) mode, or Constant Voltage (CV) mode
However, all the above loading methods each have distinct disadvantages. First, those manufacturers who use LED's as a load run into problems with the aging of the LEDs. Different LED drivers may require different types of LED's or a number of LED's. This makes it inconvenient for mass production testing. Second, resistive or linear loads can not simulate the Vf and Rd coefficient of an LED.
When using a Typical Electronic Load to test LED drivers, the CR (Constant Resistance) and CV (Constant Voltage) mode settings are used. These settings only can test stable operation and therefore, are unable to simulate turn on or PWM Dimming / intensity control.
How do you set up the advanced feature "Timing" on the 63600 DC Load module?
How much current ripple (noise) is induced on the output by Chroma's loads?
Ans; injected ripple on the UUT's current waveform is extremely low, typical values are in the range of 2 microamps (as measure on the 63610-80-20 module using a battery as the current source)
What is "Apparent Power"?
Apparent power is a measure of alternating current (

Use spatial types
Last modified on December 28, 2012 10:45
DevForce provides limited support for EF 5 spatial types. Spatial types are supported in 2-tier and n-tier .NET 4.5 applications: they are not supported in Silverlight, Windows Store or Windows Phone applications - platforms where the CLR types in System.Data.Spatial are not defined.
Overview
Spatial types - DbGeography and DbGeometry - were introduced in Entity Framework 5 and can be used in applications targeting .NET 4.5.
Spatial types can be used in both Code First and EDMX-based models.
Code First model
Let's look at a simple example, based on the EF documentation.
We define a simple Code First entity with a property of DbGeography type:
C#
[ProvideEntityAspect]
public class University {
 public int UniversityID { get; set; }
 public string Name { get; set; }
 public DbGeography Location { get; set; }
}
The EntityManager looks like this:
C#
public class SpatialTestEntityManager : EntityManager {
 public EntityQuery<University> Universities { get; set; }
}
We can now create and save these entities:
C#
var mgr = new SpatialTestEntityManager();
mgr.AddEntity(new University() {
 Name = "Graphic Design Institute",
 Location = DbGeography.FromText("POINT(-122.336106 47.605049)")
 });
mgr.AddEntity(new University() {
 Name = "School of Fine Art",
 Location = DbGeography.FromText("POINT(-122.335197 47.646711)")
 });
mgr.SaveChanges();
And we can query them:
C#
var myLocation = DbGeography.FromText("POINT(-122.296623 47.640405)");
var university = (from u in mgr.Universities
 orderby u.Location.Distance(myLocation)
 select u).FirstOrDefault();
Console.WriteLine("The closest University to you is: {0}.", university.Name);
EDMX-based model
We can also use spatial types in an EDMX-based model. This sample is also based on EF documentation.
We'll point our EDMX to the database created in our Code First sample above, but you can instead take a Model First approach to create the University entity we saw above.
Note the type of the Location property is Geography:
spatial1.JPG
The generated code for the Location property:
C#
/// <summary>Gets or sets the Location. </summary>
[DataMember]
[Bindable(true, BindingDirection.TwoWay)]
[Editable(true)]
[Display(Name="Location", AutoGenerateField=true)]
public System.Data.Spatial.DbGeography Location {
 get { return PropertyMetadata.Location.GetValue(this); }
 set { PropertyMetadata.Location.SetValue(this, value); }
}
You can query and save these entities as usual.
C#
var mgr = new SpatialTestEntityManager();
mgr.AddEntity(new University() {
 Name = "Graphic Design Institute",
 Location = DbGeography.FromText("POINT(-122.336106 47.605049)")
 });
mgr.AddEntity(new University() {
 Name = "School of Fine Art",
 Location = DbGeography.FromText("POINT(-122.335197 47.646711)")
 });
mgr.SaveChanges();
var myLocation = DbGeography.FromText("POINT(-122.296623 47.640405)");
var university = (from u in mgr.Universities
 orderby u.Location.Distance(myLocation)
 select u).FirstOrDefault();
Console.WriteLine("The closest University to you is: {0}.", university.Name);
Troubleshooting
 - To use spatial types in an n-tier application you will need to add the spatial types as known types. You can easily do this by implementing the IKnownTypeProvider interface:
 C#
 public class SpatialKnwonTypeProvider : IdeaBlade.EntityModel.IKnownTypeProvider {
 public IEnumerable<Type> AddKnownTypes() {
 return new[] { typeof(System.Data.Spatial.DbGeography) };
 }
 }

Help with effluent disposal using land irrigation
The Model for Effluent Disposal Using Land Irrigation (MEDLI) software is used to simulate how effluent stream is stored, treated and ultimately disposed of, with a particular focus on the water, nitrogen, phosphorus, and soluble salts.
The software has been widely used since 1996 and the recently upgraded version is easy to use.
Effluents and land irrigation
One of the most common uses for sewage treatment plant and agricultural industry (such as abattoirs) effluents is land irrigation.
These effluents, often called wastewater, can contain high levels of nutrients, organic matter, suspended solids, pathogens and other contaminants.
It is important the effluent can be sustainably irrigated to land so it does not impact the land or the surrounding environment and allows crops to be grown on the irrigated area.
Many activities that involve effluent irrigation to land also require an approval under the Environmental Protection Act 1994. These effluent irrigation schemes generally need to be assessed prior to operating.
Benefits of using MEDLI
MEDLI is the tool recommended by the environmental regulator in Queensland to make (or assess) decisions about how to dispose of effluent by land irrigation.
You can use MEDLI to assess the sustainability of effluent irrigation schemes and show possible impacts on the environment.
Phone (07) 3170 5603 or email _EMAIL_ to purchase or get more information about MEDLI.

The copy pattern allows you to copy an object and then edit the newly created object.
There are 4 use cases for copying an object:
- The object to be copied is part of the current table.
- The object to be copied is not part of the current table (for example, because it has been approved).
- The object to be copied is a template.
- The whole object is to be copied, for example, from an object page within a master-detail-detail view (flexible column layout).
For use cases 1–3, place the Copy function (a transparent button) in the relevant toolbar (for example, above the form or table control).
For use case 4, place the Copy function in the header toolbar of the object page (global actions). For more information about the interaction, read about the flexible column layout.
Behavior and Interaction
This section describes the interaction flow of the copy pattern for different use cases.
1) The copied object is part of the current table.
The user selects an item to be copied. Multiselection is not possible. Clicking the Copy button takes the user to the details page.
2 + 3) The copied object is not part of the current table or is to be copied from a template.
When the user clicks the Copy button, an action sheet appears. The user can choose one of three actions: Copy, Copy from Object, or Copy from Template. You can also choose to show only one or two of these actions to the user.
When the user selects Copy from Object or Copy from Template, a dialog appears prompting the user to choose an object or a template. When the user chooses one of these and clicks the Create button, the details page appears.
4) The copied object is located in the details view (flexible column layout)
The user selects the item to be copied from the master view, for instance list report or worklist. The Copy button appears in the header toolbar of the object page within the first details view. Clicking the Copy button takes the user to edit mode of the new item within the second details view of the flexible column layout, also known as master details details mode.

Grand Canal dAlsace
Grand Canal d'Alsace, English Great Alsace CanalGrand Canal d'Alsace at Breisach, Ger.Norbert Blauwaterway along the Rhine River, in eastern France, designed in 1922. The first section, at Kembs, opened in 1932, and three more pairs of locks were built between 1952 and 1959. The canal is now 50 km (30 miles) long and runs between Basel, Switz., and Breisach, Ger. It was built to improve navigation of the Rhine (hindered by shallows and a rapid current) and thus to increase traffic upstream from Strasbourg. Electricity is generated at the locks, the largest of each pair being 185 by 23 metres (600 by 75 feet).


Periodic investment

What is periodic investment?
Investing automatically at regular intervals
Periodic investment means automatically investing an amount of money at regular intervals. It is the ideal way for (beginner) investors to gradually accumulate a tidy amount of capital, as everything takes place automatically and without any emotional influence. This significantly reduces the risk of poor timing.
All the benefits in brief
1. Reduced risk of poor timing
It's difficult to recognise the perfect time to invest, and even professional investors are seldom successful in this. Systematic investment significantly reduces the risk of poor timing.
2. Take advantage of price fluctuations
As a periodic investor, you can buy more shares with the same amount of money when the price falls. This allows you to accumulate your investment capital at below-average prices.
Periodic investment
3. The power of capitalisation
The longer you can invest your savings for, the greater the beneficial effect of capitalisation. That means that a smaller amount invested at a younger age will achieve a better final result than a larger amount invested when you are older. In other words, the key message is to start young and invest your savings over a long period.
4. You set the pace yourself
Periodic investment is a flexible formula. That means you can choose the frequency yourself, i.e. every month, every quarter or every year.
5. Put your emotions to one side
Our emotions make it even more difficult to invest at exactly the right moment. Greed prompts people to buy shares when the stock markets are high, while fear keeps them away when prices are low. By investing periodically, you can prevent your emotions from influencing you over the stock market price.
How does periodic investment work?
Periodic investment is simple. and you don't need to follow the stock markets closely. All you need to do is:
 1. choose the amount you want to invest
 2. specify how often you want to invest it
 3. decide what investment fund(s) or class-23 investment-type insurance policy/policies you want to invest in

How Much Does Shilajit Increase Testosterone?
How Much Does Shilajit Increase Testosterone
How Much Does Shilajit Increase Testosterone?
Introduction:
Shilajit, a natural substance found in the Himalayas, has gained popularity for its potential to improve testosterone levels in men. Testosterone is a vital hormone responsible for various bodily functions, including muscle development, bone density, libido, and overall vitality. In this article, we will explore the effects of Shilajit on testosterone levels and address some frequently asked questions about this natural supplement.
What is Shilajit?
Shilajit is a sticky black resin that oozes out of rocks in the Himalayan mountains during the warm summer months. It is composed of a rich blend of minerals, humic substances, and bioactive compounds. For centuries, it has been used in traditional Ayurvedic medicine to promote overall health and well-being.
Shilajit and Testosterone:
1. The Link between Shilajit and Testosterone:
Studies have suggested that Shilajit may have a positive impact on testosterone levels. The bioactive components found in Shilajit, such as fulvic acid and dibenzo-alpha pyrones, are believed to play a role in enhancing testosterone production and activity.
2. Increased Testosterone Production:
One of the key ways Shilajit may influence testosterone levels is by stimulating the production of luteinizing hormone (LH). LH is responsible for signaling the testes to produce testosterone. By increasing LH levels, Shilajit may indirectly facilitate higher testosterone production.
3. Improved Testosterone Activity:
In addition to promoting testosterone production, Shilajit may also enhance the activity of testosterone receptors in target tissues. This means that the testosterone circulating in your body may have a more significant impact on muscle development, energy levels, and overall well-being.
4. Antioxidant Properties:
Shilajit is known for its potent antioxidant properties. Oxidative stress can lead to cellular damage and negatively affect testosterone levels. By scavenging harmful free radicals, Shilajit may help protect the testes and support healthy testosterone levels.
5. Enhanced Energy and Stamina:
Testosterone plays a crucial role in energy metabolism, muscle strength, and endurance. By potentially increasing testosterone levels, Shilajit may help improve energy levels, reduce fatigue, and enhance overall stamina.
FAQs about Shilajit and Testosterone:
1. Is Shilajit safe to use?
Shilajit is generally considered safe for most individuals when consumed in moderate amounts. However, it is always advisable to consult with a healthcare professional before starting any new supplement, especially if you have underlying health conditions or are taking medications.
2. How long does it take to see results?
The effects of Shilajit on testosterone levels may vary from person to person. Some individuals may experience noticeable changes within a few weeks, while others may require more time. Consistency in usage and following the recommended dosage are key factors in achieving desired results.
3. Can women use Shilajit to increase testosterone levels?
While Shilajit is often associated with improving testosterone levels in men, its effects on women are less studied. It is recommended that women consult with a healthcare professional before considering Shilajit supplementation to ensure it aligns with their specific needs and hormonal balance.
4. Are there any side effects of using Shilajit?
Shilajit is generally well-tolerated, but some individuals may experience mild side effects such as digestive issues or headaches. These side effects are usually temporary and subside with continued use. If you experience any severe or persistent side effects, it is important to discontinue use and consult a healthcare professional.
5. How should I take Shilajit for optimal results?
Shilajit is typically available in resin or powder form. It can be consumed by mixing a small amount (usually around 300-500 mg) with water or milk. It is recommended to take Shilajit once or twice a day, preferably on an empty stomach or as directed by a healthcare professional.
Conclusion:
Shilajit has shown promising potential in increasing testosterone levels and promoting overall well-being. Its unique blend of bioactive compounds and minerals may contribute to enhanced testosterone production and activity. However, as with any supplement, it is important to consult with a healthcare professional before starting Shilajit to ensure it is suitable for your individual needs. By incorporating Shilajit into your wellness routine, you may experience improved energy, stamina, and vitality.
