As she started walking away and waved goodbye, I tore the sheet from my drawing pad and asked her to keep it–the drawing of 134 Carlton Street. She knew a young lady who lived there and was excited to frame it for her as a wall-hanging for her apartment. "Your first famous piece of art, my dear," she said, as she walked away, drawing in hand, and dog in tow. Every time I pass 134 Carlton Street, I will think of Marlene, of her dog that I managed not to chastise, and of Gordon and how quickly he had to be taken from her. I will also think of the little frame with my little sketch—my first famous piece of art—hanging poetically within its focal point, a fall trinket.

“You should keep a fly swatter to chase away unwanted suitors,” she joked. "Yesterday was a hard day for me, so I'm glad to have met you,” she said as she started moving away. “Do you want to talk about it?" I called after her, hoping she would stay to chat. She told me that she was eighty-six years old; her only son, Gordon, was to be buried the day before in the grave of her husband's grandfather in a small town north of Toronto. The agency she had hired tried to dispose of the urns without a proper burial as they thought her to be an elderly cripple, unlikely to attend the ceremony. Gordon's friend who did show up had to call to tell her that nothing had been done by way of arrangements. She had a phone-call with the archbishop that same day and gave him hell. Her husband, a hundred years old at the time, teased her: "Is that how you talk to an archbishop?"

The two men shocked the crypto industry when they announced on Tuesday that Binance had agreed to rescue FTX after a surge in customer withdrawals sparked a liquidity crisis. The troubles at FTX were accelerated after Zhao said over the weekend his company planned to sell down more than $500mn worth of FTX’s own digital token, a sum that dwarfed its average daily trading total.“We did not master plan this or anything related to it,” Zhao said.

I’m part of a community of entrepreneurs called MMT (run by my good friend Jayson Gaignard – it’s his birthday tomorrow!), and I posted the following:

Our overworked developer had no time to be organized and do things right with legacy code (from 2013), a million little bugs, and major moves (such as finally making NERD web-accessible).

It gets worse – the current site has three separate search engines! One is for the main site content, another is only for Deep Dives (formerly NERD), and a third is for our Study Summaries. And yet you still cannot search through our Supplement Guides.

This expansion was not intelligently designed – a completely ad-hoc development with no grand plan. For example, the original site was all programmed under “Supplements.” Both menstrual cups and binaural beats are still classified under “Supplements.”

We launched NERD back in 2014, but it took us over five years to convert it from a monthly PDF to a web-based system because our backend was a mess.

Creatine is a particularly important source of fuel for neurons. A genetic developmental disorder called creatine transporter defect (CTD) can cause a creatine deficiency and result in severe cognitive impairment. CTD can be treated with creatine supplementation.More research is needed to determine whether creatine supplementation can benefit cognition in people who are not deficient. While most people produce enough creatine naturally to prevent cognitive complications, vegans, vegetarians, and seniors might benefit from supplementation more than omnivores. Creatine levels are more likely to be suboptimal in these populations.

CDP-choline (citicoline) and alpha GPC can provide the brain with the choline it needs to produce more acetylcholine (choline bitartrate is much cheaper, but little of it seems to reach the brain). CDP-choline is also a source of uridine, which itself may improve cognition. In addition, CDP-choline might improve vision in people suffering from glaucoma, a disease state which can cause damage to an eye’s optic nerve.

I come from a touring background. Which is where I got started in the world of bike travel. Most bike tourers just strap their tent to the top of the rear rack with a bungee cord. But if you ditch the panniers and go full bikepacking bag setup, finding a spot for a tent can be somewhat troublesome.

'INCREDIBLY DISCIPLINED' Contrary to what many expected to be an even nastier debate than the first unofficial face-off last week, Wednesday’s rematch proved to be far more civil. While moderator Tom Clark warned of using a “sad trombone” noise when candidates didn’t follow the official debate rules, he acknowledged later in the night that all six had been “incredibly disciplined” with their time.

If the motion passes, City staff would also be directed to look at establishing a loan program to finance work done to convert a residence into multiple units, with the loan repayable upon the sale of the unit. And in another attempt to limit costs, specifically legal and planning costs, the motion requests that staff study the feasibility of creating a “one stop shop” with legal, planning, and permit support for homeowners looking to make the conversion.

Poilievre, meanwhile, proved me wrong by being the chippy angry person his critics portray him as. I’ve been asked on numerous radio programs about Poilievre and this caricature the Liberals turn him into. As someone that has known him almost 20 years, I’ve said that’s not the man I know — but that was the man who showed up on stage in Ottawa.

Facebook I hate Facebook. But they have done a good job with groups. You can find useful groups on many topics. Their features allow in-depth discussions. Unfortunately, your Facebook group notifications get mixed with a gazillion other things happening on the platform. I often missed notifications from my own groups. So, additional effort is required to keep discussions alive. Otherwise, they’ll be short-lived, like any social post.

What we did for our free community On our site, we started with a very simple, old-style forum. Then we added a Telegram group, and the intensity of the interaction grew significantly. I think it was due to the chat interface: It feels more engaging even for our “older” audience – most of them are older than 35.

Community software solution for a price If you want more advanced community tools, you have multiple solutions that come at a price. When you decide to upgrade, try Circle.so. It doesn’t have a chat feature. But it has many advantages: Minimalist and easy to use designStructured conversations (similar to Facebook groups)Ability to share any content formatsEndless categoriesAbility to add static content like coursesIntegrations with other creator tools, such as ConvertKit or Gumroad. It costs $40 a month for the basic tier. An established competitor is Mighty Networks, which is used by Gumroad and ConvertKit’s communities. As a user, I had a much smoother experience with Circle.

The public repository posted on GitHub has opened the floodgates for major social media discussions and speculations. Seeing this as a cryptic message, some Reddit users suggest that there could be no algorithm at all, whereas others suggest that Twitter uses not one but multiple algorithms spread throughout the codebase. Musk also played with the idea of making the Twitter algorithm open source during his appearance in a TED talk. An open-source would allow Twitter users to see the code the microblogging platform uses to determine which particular tweets it pushes on one’s news feed. 

Room darkening curtains are designed to protect against outside heat, cold, and noise whilst still allowing for some light to pass through. This weight is a good default option if you have trouble choosing and can be used in any room.

Blackout curtains offer the most protection from heat, cold, noise, and light from the outdoor world. Made with a foam backing, this type of curtain blocks out nearly all light and is perfect for bedrooms.

Light filtering curtains create more privacy and protect from UV rays more than sheer curtains, however, still filter through plenty of light to keep a room well lit. Perfect for if you prefer to keep your curtains closed day and night.

Sheer curtains are made from the lightest-weight fabric, which allows filtered light to come through and provides some privacy, whilst creating a softness to the room. Ideal when hung on a double curtain rod, along with a heavier curtain, for light during the day and privacy at night.

Khan says while foreign ownership has been a factor in Canada’s rising housing prices, the impact of the phenomenon is “baked into the cake” at this point, making the movement on the issue “important but symbolic.”“I think we have to distinguish between those kind of nice-to-have measures versus those that are incredibly fundamental, which is finding ways to increase density and get people into housing in a different way than we did since the post-World War II era,” he says.

Meanwhile, there were no concrete actions laid out in the budget to deal with so-called “renovictions” — large landlords buying up lower-income housing and evicting the existing tenants only to put the units back on the market at a higher rate.

The budget includes plans for a federal review to find out more about what role large corporate landlords play in the market and the impact on renters and homeowners.

As well, the budget teed up plans to explore a Home Buyers’ Bill of Rights.Included in this bill would be a plan to end “blind bidding” practices nationally, with potential measures to make a home’s sale price history more transparent and ensure a legal right to a home inspection before buying.

There were also measures to tamp down on the investing and speculation side of the real estate market.

Other items in the budget aimed at increasing immigration flows into Canada will only put more demand on Canada’s already limited housing stock, reinforcing the need for greater densification in cities and less suburban sprawl.

But expanding supply itself isn’t the standalone solution, Khan said – it’s “density” that Canadian cities will need.

Not one house will be built or bought this year under these NDP-Liberal programs,” she said in a statement after the budget’s release.

“(Developers) want to make money, and it’s easy to make money with these micro-condos,” said Ute Lehrer, a professor at York University that specializes in cities, globalization and urban planning.

Virtual water coolers, bot-generated icebreakers—it all can feel a bit cheesy. But for new employees, even superficial interactions can go a long way. One friend of mine, who recently started working at Google, said she had genuinely connected with her remote team through exercises like icebreakers before team meetings. “Those things are lame, but they help,” she told me. “Even if we all collectively think it’s lame, we ping each other to say it’s lame, which brings us even more together.”

All of this can seem like a lot of effort for the social interactions that, in a physical office, are natural. It can also be time-consuming. Saying hello to a coworker while you grab coffee takes five minutes; meeting a new coworker through Donut can mean another half-hour Zoom call. Some companies that have used Donut, like Flexport, say it helps keep employees from feeling isolated or disconnected from colleagues. Jennifer Longnion, Flexport's chief impact officer, says the company also uses Cleary, and it encourages employees to meet each other through smaller groups on Slack. (She mentioned Freight Femmes, an internal group for women who work at Flexport, which organizes things like virtual cooking classes and trivia nights.)

Does economic harm justify emergency powers? According to the Canadian Civil Liberties Association, which released a condemnatory statement on Tuesday, “The Emergencies Act is there to address (these kinds of) extreme threats to Canada, not to protect the economy.” Their stance is commonsensical — declaring emergencies on vague economic grounds would be a serious threat to future large-scale labour activism. Are mass strikes not a threat to national economic security as well?

Violent trouble-makers often infiltrate protests. In 2010, Black Bloc activists used the G20 protests as a pretext to burn cars and smash windows throughout Toronto. Last summer, protesters assaulted police officers attempting to clear homeless encampments that had become hotbeds of crime and violence. In both cases, as it should be in almost all cases, limited violence did not constitute a formal emergency.

On Friday morning, NDP Leader Andrea Horwath said from Ottawa that it’s time to “focus on the people paying the biggest price for the occupation in Ottawa. Parents with babies that can’t sleep, workers and small business owners losing their income, elderly people afraid to leave the house, and health-care workers who have been threatened and harassed.”Skip AdvertisementShe accused Ford of “coddling illegal occupiers and extremists — and real people are paying the price. Doug Ford has powers he’s refusing to use, and resources he’s withholding. Meanwhile, people here in Ottawa are living through a nightmare.” Green Party Leader Mike Schreiner called it “inexcusable” for Ford not to have acted sooner.“The fact that the Premier has waited two weeks to help Ontarians is inexcusable,” he said. “On Monday I called for an emergency return to Queen’s Park so we could all work together collaboratively on a solution to the occupation of Ottawa and the blockade of the border. But Ford has refused to work across party and jurisdictional lines, snubbing the trilateral meetings with the feds and Ottawa and ignoring requests for a cross-partisan approach.”Liberal Leader Steven Del Duca said “for a guy who got elected promising to make Ontario ‘Open For Business,’ Doug Ford has completely failed the people who work and own those businesses.”

Liberals said they removed that section because it provided a loophole for certain sites. For example, it would have meant that Spotify fell under the legislation, but YouTube, which also streams music, did not.

Spotify, the world’s leading music streaming platform, has been heralded as the savior of the recording industry.

The convoy also has attracted support beyond Canada’s borders. Former president Donald Trump and Tesla founder Elon Musk, an opponent of vaccine mandates, have spoken in support of the truckers.

What Is Pareto Efficiency? Pareto efficiency, or Pareto optimality, is an economic state where resources cannot be reallocated to make one individual better off without making at least one individual worse off. Pareto efficiency implies that resources are allocated in the most economically efficient manner, but does not imply equality or fairness. An economy is said to be in a Pareto optimum state when no economic changes can make one individual better off without making at least one other individual worse off.

The finding is supported by a related spike in face-lifts when elective surgeries opened last summer.

gamma activity is elevated in the DMN during rest. Here, we document that the rat basal forebrain (BF) exhibits the same pattern of responses, namely pronounced gamma oscillations during quiet wakefulness in the home cage and suppression of this activity during active exploration of an unfamiliar environment.

“Time is running out fast. Let’s not waste the few seconds we have left to make a difference, not only on behalf of our veterans but more so for the generations to come. We have to trust and let us guide not only by our doings, more so we have to trust and unite in faith regardless of what kind of beliefs anyone has.

The Canadian government continues to use phrases and words to the Canadian people through the media that incite hate toward people who have decided to utilize their right to say no to a vaccine.

Following the Public Health Agency of Canada’s announcement that foreign truck drivers can only enter Canada if fully vaccinated starting Jan. 15, and the U.S. Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) announced similar requirements starting Jan. 22 for non-U.S. national truckers crossing into the United States, thousands of truckers decided to protest against the vaccine mandates, threatening to go on strike and “strategically” paralyze multiple roads.

Limit your time on Twitter and set your Engagement Sacred Hours. Adding these constraints will make it easier for you to be more intentional about the way you use Twitter. For instance, Alumni Matt only allows himself to log into Twitter twice a day — usually for 30-45 minutes each time. So when he's online, he makes sure he uses most of his "allowance" time engaging with his favorite shippers.

4. Make lists—of anything.

Distractions are what happen to people who aren't inspired, who aren't actively reading, listening, watching, and studying.

The first is to tell the reader why you actually are the expert—and do so explicitly. For example, if you are writing about real estate, and you've built a real estate portfolio (however big or small), you should tell readers, "Over the course of my career, I've bought and sold X number of buildings. And I want to teach you how you can buy and sell your first piece of real estate too." Writers struggle here because they fear talking about themselves will come off as "bragging" to readers, but it doesn't. Readers want context. They want to know why they should listen to you. And if you don't give them a reason, they're going to assume you have no idea what you're talking about.

Long-term marijuana use may also have health-related side effects. Studies have found the substance may reduce the volume of gray matter in your brain23 and, when smoked, increase your risk of chronic bronchitis24.

The next generation of farms are indoors and vertical. “Vertical farms” work like parking garages. Many don’t use soil; they use materials and sensors that mimic natural environments. Because they can operate 24/7 and recycle water, the efficiency is f*cking ridiculous: 350x the traditional farm harvest with just 1% of the water.

Because it turns out the term “pulling yourself up by your bootstraps” started out as an insult against bombastic nimrods who claim they’ve achieved something that is simply impossible. 

Is my Home Buyers’ Plan balance up to date? (If you have never participated in the HBP this section does not apply.) If you have previously participated in the HBP, you may be able to do so again if: your HBP balance is zero on January 1st of the year during which you plan on withdrawing funds under the HBP you meet all the other HBP conditions that apply to your situation Your HBP balance from your last participation is zero when the total of your yearly designated HBP repayments and any amounts included in your income (because no designated HBP repayment was made as required for a given year) equals the total eligible withdrawals you made from your RRSP under your participation in the HBP.

I don't have a proper answer to solve the problem that I mentioned related to the unsustainable community in web-dev. Maybe someone could create a version of NPM which has a revenue model similar to Netflix.

What we can learnYeah! We are using Typescript & it's towards a good direction. There are similar UI tools that are similar to what I mentioned above. Still, I think Typescript is a patch & not a proper solution. I don't think any of the browser vendors have plans for native TS support yet. Since web assembly is fully supported in these browsers, I wish we could use C++, C# to build web apps in the future.I Still believe we should use no-code tools & these strongly typed languages hand-in-hand to build apps faster & add rich functionality.

I know about webflow, is it a mainstream tool? Can we build a proper app with that? Are you using it?

A good library is filled with mostly unread books. That’s the point. Our relationship with the unknown causes the very problem Taleb is famous for contextualizing: the black swan. Because we underestimate the value of what we don’t know and overvalue what we do know, we fundamentally misunderstand the likelihood of surprises. The antidote to this overconfidence boils down to our relationship with knowledge. The anti-scholar, as Taleb refers to it, is “someone who focuses on the unread books, and makes an attempt not to treat his knowledge as a treasure, or even a possession, or even a self-esteem enhancement device — a skeptical empiricist.” My library serves as a visual reminder of what I don’t know.

Since PeerIDs are long-lived identities, it’s possible for someone to look up your PeerID in the distributed hash table (DHT) that stores public IPFS metadata and track your IP address over time.

However, this doesn't mean you need to remember a long string of CIDs — IPFS can find the latest version of your file using the IPNS decentralized naming system, and DNSLink can be used to map CIDs to human-readable DNS names.

The average lifespan of a web page is 100 days before it's gone forever. The medium of our era shouldn't be this fragile. IPFS makes it simple to set up resilient networks for mirroring data, and thanks to content addressing, files stored using IPFS are automatically versioned.

Television[edit] Newhart's success in stand-up led to his own short-lived NBC variety show in 1961, The Bob Newhart Show. The show lasted only a single season, but it earned Newhart a Primetime Emmy Award nomination and a Peabody Award. The Peabody Board cited him as: .mw-parser-output .templatequote{overflow:hidden;margin:1em 0;padding:0 40px}.mw-parser-output .templatequote .templatequotecite{line-height:1.5em;text-align:left;padding-left:1.6em;margin-top:0}a person whose gentle satire and wry and irreverent wit waft a breath of fresh and bracing air through the stale and stuffy electronic corridors. A merry marauder, who looks less like St. George than a choirboy, Newhart has wounded, if not slain, many of the dragons that stalk our society. In a troubled and apprehensive world, Newhart has proved once again that laughter is the best medicine. In the mid-1960s, Newhart was one of the initial three co-hosts of the variety show The Entertainers (1964), with Carol Burnett and Caterina Valente,[15] appeared on The Dean Martin Show 24 times and on The Ed Sullivan Show eight times.[4] He appeared in a 1963 episode of The Alfred Hitchcock Hour, "How to Get Rid of Your Wife"; and on The Judy Garland Show. Newhart guest-hosted The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson 87 times, and hosted Saturday Night Live twice, in 1980 and 1995. In addition to stand-up comedy, Newhart became a dedicated character actor. This led to other series, such as Bob Hope Presents the Chrysler Theatre, Captain Nice, two episodes of Insight, and It's Garry Shandling's Show. He reprised his role as Dr. Bob Hartley on Murphy Brown, appeared as himself on The Simpsons, and played a retired forensic pathologist on NCIS. Newhart guest-starred on three episodes of ER, for which he was nominated for a Primetime Emmy Award,[4] as well as on Desperate Housewives and a role on NCIS as Ducky's mentor and predecessor, who was discovered to have Alzheimer's disease. In 2013, he also appeared on Committed and in an episode of the sixth season of The Big Bang Theory, for which he was awarded a Primetime Emmy Award, and which led to subsequent appearances in its seventh, ninth, and eleventh seasons.[16]

Table. Another way to organize data in Roam Research is in a table—though it works a bit differently than Roam's kanban boards. Here, type {{table}}, then in the next row nest each header column you want, and then add the 2nd row as another set of nested items, and so on. It keeps each row of the table in one outline set, versus the kanban board which keeps each column's items together.
