In This Guide:
- Why Drinks is a Great First Date Idea
- When Grabbing Drinks is a Bad First Date
- Tips for a Great Drinks Date
Why Drinks is a Great First Date Idea
Grabbing drinks for a first date is one of the simplest yet most effective first dates ever. Why? Great question. Here are a few reasons why.
The Purpose of a First Date Matters
A successful first date has nothing to do with impressing the other person. Sure, you want to put your best foot forward, but ensuring a positive experience is not the chief goal. The purpose of a first date is to find out if the person you're going out with is someone you're compatible with. That's it. If on the date you find out that you are compatible or that you are not compatible, both situations are a win.
To accomplish this, you need to do something that allows you to talk (bye bye movie) and doesn't leave you trapped in case it's a bust (bye bye dinner). Additionally, you don't necessarily want to do something that would be fun with anyone, even someone you're not compatible with. There are a lot of terrible people we'd still enjoy a fancy dinner or an elaborate trip with.
This is why the simplicity of drinks makes for a great first date.
Relaxing the Nerves
The second reason this is a great date idea is that having a drink or two can help to relax your nerves. It can help both of you to calm down and open up a bit. You don't want to have so many drinks that you start spilling your emotions and life story, but a few to knock off the edge can get rid of some of the awkwardness.
When you have drinks, you generally have them in a very public place (a bar or lounge) which is great for safety. You have to remember that a first date is usually with someone you don't know that well, so you want to cover your bases in case anything happens to go wrong. Being somewhere that there are other people is a huge perk, especially if things don't go quite according to plan. We hope they do, but you have to be prepared for all circumstances.
Cost Effective
Grabbing drinks as a first date is very cost-effective, even in some of the more expensive cities. We don't know your financial situation, but chances are you don't want to be pumping a ton of money into a date that might be a bust or a waste of your time.
You're the Star
Doing something simple like grabbing drinks allows you to be the star of the date. The other person's opinion of you is not swayed by the amount of money you spent or the extravagance of what you planned. If someone has a problem with such a simple date because it's too simple, then they're probably not someone you want to be seeing anyways.
When Grabbing Drinks is a Bad First Date
Yes, we did just say that if someone doesn't want to go grab drinks because it's too simple that you probably don't want to be going out with them. We wanted to make sure that we were clear here. That statement only applies if they are turning down the date because they want to do something more extravagant. There are actually a lot of instances where going out to the bar for drinks might not be the best idea for a first date.
Non Drinkers
If the person you're talking to doesn't drink, you'd be silly if you tried to take them to a bar. Do you just want them to sit there and drink a soda while you slam beers? That's not the way to get that second date or to get to know each other (although it would say a lot about you to them).
You Don't Drink
On that same token, dating when you don't drink shouldn't involve going to a bar. There's no reason to do things you don't like just to impress someone or avoid awkwardness. Remember, the goal is to find someone you're compatible with. If they aren't cool not going to a bar, you probably aren't a good math.
Faith Based Dates
If the person you're wanting to go out with is a heavily religious person, you might want to try something different. We aren't saying that there is anything wrong with being religious and going to a bar, but you want to make sure that you don't give off the wrong impression to someone that you just met.
The best thing you can do to tackle this is ask them if they'd like to meet up for a drink or ______. Basically, suggest something else along with it so they can easily take the other option if they aren't in the mood to go to a bar.
Other Options
Keep in mind that you can grab drinks at places other than establishments that are exclusively bars. Restaurants, hotels, and lounges are great places to grab a drink and sometimes can have a really cool and fun vibe.
The Big Picture
For the most part, grabbing drinks is going to work for a first date as long as the person you're going out with drinks, is okay with bars, and is of course of the legal drinking age.
Tips for a Great Drinks Date
Alright, so we've already gone over why or why not grabbing drinks on a first date is a good fit for you and your new boo. Now what we'd like to do is give you some tips to try and have the best first date possible. Yes, as mentioned, the goal is not to impress them but to get to know them, but that does not mean you can't put your best foot forward and show them that you're someone they want to be around.
Scout Out the Location First
You really should never take a first date to a bar or location that you haven't at least seen in person before. You don't have to have actually eaten or drank there, but you at least need to lay eyes on it and see what the atmosphere is like.
If you're taking out a classy person and you end up at a bar that is a complete dive, they are probably not going to be that happy. Or, if you are looking forward to good conversation but the bar has blaring music at night where you have to shout, it's probably not a good fit.
Take a little time and scout out the location before you pick it for a first date. You should also check their website just to make sure they don't have anything wild and crazy scheduled for the night that you want to propose for a date. It would be awkward to head to a bar for a first date only to find out the bar is taken over by speed daters or a massive office party or something like that.
Avoid Using Your Stomping Grounds
While you should take your date for drinks somewhere that you've scouted out before, do not take them to a place that you're a regular at or frequent. Why? Well, there are a few reasons. First, if things don't work out but your date loves the place, you now are going to have to see them regularly or have to move yourself to a new location. This is not ideal.
Second, you might be shooting yourself in the foot if there is someone else that frequents that bar that is interested in you. Maybe they're working up the courage to talk to you one day and then they see you in there with a date. Do you think they're going to worry about coming and talking to you now? Probably not.
Lastly, you run the risk of running into people that you just don't want to on a first date. Your friends may be awesome people, but do you really want them all around watching you while you're on a first date? Or, what happens if an ex-girlfriend or boyfriends frequents the establishment? That's not a recipe for a great first date.
There are so many awesome places in every city where you can grab drinks for a first date. You can choose somewhere that you've been to before, but don't choose somewhere you frequent.
Don't Drink Too Much
You had to expect this tip was coming. Whatever you do, don't drink too much on your first date. It's okay to have a couple drinks and enjoy yourself, but you cannot let yourself get drunk. Well keep this short, but here's why. First, it puts you at a safety risk. You're literally going out with someone you've never met before or hardly know. Do you really want to be out of it while you're with them?
Second, you have no idea how your date is going to react to it. It can be a pretty huge turnoff to someone if their date gets drunk. After you've been dating for a while and you know where they stand on things, then you can probably let loose a lot more. But, a first date is not the place to go buck wild and show off how much you can drink.
Lastly, it really doesn't do much for helping you to get to know each other. People act significantly different when they're drunk, so you'd really only be introducing your date to the drunk you. Also, you aren't going to be in much of a state to get to know them or remember what you learned. Basically, you might have fun, but it's going to be a pretty unsuccessful first date as the goal is to get to know each other.
Have a Plan to Transition
Something magical happens every now and then on a first date. You realize that you're spending time with someone awesome and you want to spend more time together. You both have nothing to do, and you can tell that no one wants to go home yet. The problem with getting drinks for a first date is that you really don't want to just sit in the bar for hours getting hammered.
So, you need to have a transition plan in place. Have something else in mind that you can do to extend the date that does not involve sitting there and continuing to drink. One of the easiest things you can suggest is grabbing dinner. You could stay where you are at and get food or transition somewhere close by to continue the date. If you do transition somewhere, please be smart about drinking and driving. Uber and Lyft are your friends.
You can also strategically plan your date around somewhere with something to do close by. For example, if there is a place to grab drinks close to a putt-putt golf place or a bowling alley or even somewhere just to walk around, that's a great idea. You don't have to transition your date, but it's nice to have the option available if things go well. Do also keep in mind that if your date doesn't want to transition, it doesn't mean that things are going badly. They might have to be up early the next day or have something to do.
Have an Exit Strategy
What's more important than having a transition plan when you're grabbing drinks on a first date is having a plan to exit the date if things just aren't that great. One of the best parts about grabbing drinks as a date is that you are not locked into anything. If you're at a restaurant eating dinner or at a movie, you're somewhat socially locked into staying there for the duration of the event. Yes, you can always get up and scram whenever you want, but if you want to be polite, you're probably going to be there for a while.
When you're grabbing drinks, you already have the best exit strategy. Have one drink, and when you're done with your cocktail, you can say your goodbyes and move along. There is always this point after the first round on a date where both parties try to decide if they want to get another round or if that is it for the date. This is the inflection point where you can make your exit if it's just not working out. But, if it's going well, you can always grab another round and continue the conversation!

In today's fast-paced digital age, innovation is the key to standing out. And when it comes to the movie industry, the Barbie movie has set a gold standard. But how did a children's toy-inspired film achieve such monumental success? The answer lies in the ingenious use of generative A.I.
When the Barbie movie premiered, it wasn't just another film release. It was a masterclass in leveraging technology for marketing. The movie raked in a staggering $155 million in its opening week, outperforming giants like Avatar 2. Fast forward a week, and the revenue skyrocketed to $1 billion. To put this into perspective, only 53 movies in cinematic history have achieved this feat.
So, what was the secret sauce behind this success? Generative A.I. – a type of artificial intelligence that creates content. Here's a breakdown of the Barbie movie's A.I.-driven strategies:
- Customized Movie Posters: The film introduced a visual A.I. tool, the Barbie movie poster generator. This innovative tool transformed selfies into custom Barbie movie posters. The campaign gained traction when influencers shared their posters using the hashtag #TheBarbieMovie on social media platforms. Within three months, the tool had amassed over 13 million users.
- A.I.-Powered Personality Quizzes: The marketing team also rolled out quizzes that utilized A.I. to determine which Barbie character users resonated with the most. The results? Users eagerly shared their Barbie personas on social media, further popularizing the #TheBarbieMovie hashtag. This strategy led to a record-breaking 325K Instagram posts in under four months.
- Collaboration with Bumble: In a genius move, Barbie collaborated with Bumble, a renowned dating app. They introduced A.I.-generated 'Barbie Compliments' for users to share with their matches. The outcome was astounding. 75% of Bumble users expressed interest in watching the movie, often with a date, effectively doubling ticket sales.
The Barbie movie's success story has set a precedent. It's evident in the recent collaboration between CocaCola and OpenAI for their "Create Real Magic" campaign. The world is taking note, and the trend of integrating A.I. into marketing strategies is catching on like wildfire.
In conclusion, the Barbie movie's triumph is a testament to the limitless potential of blending creativity with technology. It's a narrative that underscores the importance of staying ahead of the curve and embracing innovation. As we move forward, one thing is clear: A.I. is not just the future; it's the present.

Chester to bypass vendor, roll out first phase of STR registration applications No implementation dates from swamped Granicus
Shawn Cunningham | Aug 09, 2023 | Comments 0
By Shawn Cunningham
©2023 Telegraph Publishing LLC
"Alex bravely answered our questions and stayed chipper," Zoning Administrator Preston Bristow said on Tuesday, speaking of Alex Wenglein, the new project manager assigned to Chester by Granicus. "But she had to admit things aren't going well."
"They don't seem to have the capacity to fulfill the contract requirements at the moment," Bristow continued. "But Alex said she hoped to have a better sense of the timing within two weeks."
Town Manager Julie Hance told The Telegraph that during the meeting she pressed for implementation dates, but could not get them.
"I told her (Wenglein) that the next Select Board meeting would be on Sept. 6 and we would need dates by then," said Hance. The town expected the work to be done and the registry to be up and running in April of this year.
Board Chair Arne Jonynas said it looked like Granicus has an IT bottleneck but he was expecting to see some progress by the September meeting.
In the meantime, the town has decided to take an old school route and send letters informing short-term rental operators already identified by Granicus that registration is now open. The letter will be accompanied by an application form to be mailed back to the town with payment.
Information gathered from the applications will then be entered by the town into Granicus's database.
Bristow said anyone who has not complied with that first letter will, after a month, receive a warning letter giving them a set time to contact the town and register. Lister Cathy Hasbrouck will be handling the "paper" roll out of the registry.
Since this operation was supposed to be done electronically through Granicus, Hance said she is asking Bristow and Hasbrouck to keep track of their time for later discussions with that company.
Bristow expects that the first letters will go out in about two weeks.

LAS VEGAS — March Madness has long been a huge draw for gamblers who came to Las Vegas to place their bets on the tournament while partying at the city's famed casinos. But they were limited to watching the games on TV; catching one in person here was impossible not that long ago.
That changes this week when UCLA faces Gonzaga and UConn takes on Arkansas at T-Mobile Arena on the Vegas Strip.

The Deltaic Biodiversity At Okavango
Posted On November 15, 2009
Okavango River
Okavango, the fourth longest river in southern Africa drains Angola, namibia and Botswana. It is known as Cubango River in Angola where it originates and ultimately drains into the Moremi Wildlife Reserve in Botswana. The river is 1,600 kilometres long and has a basin area of 5,30,000 square kilometres. The river does not have any outlet into the sea. Instead, it empties into the Okovango Delta, a swamp in the Kalahari Desert. The river also feeds adjoining water bodies like Popa Falls, Boteti River and Lake Ngami. Okavango River's water is a serious bone of contention between the drought-hit namib ia and Botswana.
Okavango Delta
Okavango Delta is the world's largest inland delta (area 28,000 square kilometres). The Okavango River flows through the Kalahari till it splits itself into a maze of lagoons, channels and islands, just like any other river delta. There are also visible shallow water, flooded grasslands and ox-bow lakes. However, the river travels another 300 miles across the desert to drain into Lake Xau in Botswana. Though in this last stretch, the river assumes a much lesser size than what it is originally. A large amount of water of the river gets dried up or get diverted through other channels which means a very little water actually reaches the delta. Chief's Island is the largest island on the delta.
Wildlife in Okavango Delta
The Okavango Delta is home to a wide varity of wildlife making it a major tourist attraction in the region. Some of the animal species found in this delta region are African Bush Elephant, African Buffalo, Lechwe Antelope, Hippopotamus, Topi, Blue Wildebeest, Giraffe, Nile crocodile, Lion, Cheetah, Chacma Baboon. Leopard, Brown, Spotted Hyena, Greater Kudu, Sable Antelope, Black, Warthog, White Rhinoceros and Plains Zebra. Even the African Wild Dog survives in the Okavango Delta. However, not all animals are permanent inhabitants of the Okavango Delta region. In Fact a majority of these animals migtrate for greener pastures during summer and return in winter.
Birdlife in Okavango Delta
One can also find over 400 species of birds in the delta region, like the African Fish Eagle, Crested Crane, Lilac-breasted Roller, Hammerkop, Pel's Fishing Owl, Ostrich, and Sacred Ibis.
It is believed that around 80 different species of fish also inhabit the delta.
The best way to experience the delta is in a traditional dug out canoe, but be careful, the waterways are filled with crocodiles and hippos. Alternatively try a horseback safari, you'll get closer to the animals than you can in a car, and yet still burn a quick get away if you need to.
Jackalberry, Mangosteen, Knobthorn, and Sycamore Fig are some of the most attractive trees found in the delta region
Human beings
The Okavango Delta peoples consist of five ethnic groups, each having distinct ethnic identity and language. The ethnic groups are Hambukushu, Wayeyi, Dceriku, Bugakhwe and Gxanekwe.
Box Matter
Biodiversity in Okavango River: identified species include 1,300 (plants), 80 (fishes), 33 (amphibians), 64 (reptiles), 444 (birds), and 122 (mammals), 5000 (insects)
Time of visiting the Delta
The time between July and October is the best time to see the wildlife in the delta. As is the case with other wildlife sanctuaries, dry season is the suitable to time to witness animals as they frequently visit water sources. Also, the predators approach these water bodies to feast upon the herbivores hence giving the viewers an opportunity to get glimpse of all the species together.
However, one should not ignore the wet season in the Okavango Delta (December till March)as this is the time when the region turns lush green with sometimes stormy skies in the background. Many of the herbivores like the Impalas also give birth to ensure that their newborn get abundant foliage to feed upon. On the flip side, the prowling predators too prey upon these babies during this time. All these add up to the visitors' delight as they can witness lions, leopards and cheetahs and wild dogs.
Viewing the Okavango wildlife
While going for a Okovango safari, one must take a tour of the Moremi National Park (covers almost a third of the entire Okavango Delta) and the Chobe Natioanl Park (second largest national park in Botswana). Both are excellent places for game viewing. Moremi is the major land area next to the Okavango where one can enjoy both the delta wildlife and the plain/savanah fauna. Chobe National Park is the best place for watching elephants. The Botswana safari may include kalahari game Reserve and Tuli Block as well.
Mode of viewing Okavango wildlife
The best way to explore the Okavango Delta is by means of dug-out canoe, although the waterways are often filled with crocodiles and hippopotamus. One can try a horse or an elephant safari whereby it would be possible to reach out to the the animals better than that can be done by car. Vehicles are available for animal viewing including drives in gthe night. However, one advise walking safaris to be the most exciting means of animal safari. Traditional game viewing vehicles are used on the main islands, with night drives available. Walking Safaris are perhaps the most exciting way of viewing animals. There are also opportunities to avail airtrips for game viewing. Light aircraft and helicopter are available.
Threat and remedey
The Okavango Delta ecosystem is showing signs of slow erosion in the face of gradually rising anthropogenic pressures. There is an urgent need for biodiversity conservation in this region. Consequently, the University of Botswana through the Harry Oppenheimer Okavango Research Centre (HOORC) in collaboration with the Department of Environmental Affairs (DEA), Kalahari Conservation Society (KCS) and the World Conservation Union (IUCN) is working on a project called 'Building Local Capacity for the Conservation and Sustainable Use of Biodiversity in the Okavango Delta'. The aim of the project is to support the elaboration and implementation of the Okavango Delta Management Plan (ODMP). Particularly, it looks towards biodiversity conservation in three sectors, namely, water; tourism and fisheries. The project is mainly funded by the Global Environmental Facility (GEF) of the United Nations, with co-funding from various other sources. The implementation phase of the project is scheduled in end in 2010.

Any good business needs lots of customers. Having a lot of customers means handling lots of phone calls, and having to constantly answer various questions about your business. Communication is important when conducting business, and there are always going to be instances where the person you are talking to is either rude or incompetent, which is assuredly bad for business.
Hopefully, most of the time the individuals handling your business calls are helpful and courteous, but unless you are completely confident in your staff then you may need to look for a professional company to which you can outsource your incoming calls.
This is an important aspect of your business to investigate, as people often refuse to do business with a company if they have had some sort of negative experience with them over the phone. Investing in a call answering service will help this aspect of your business.
Here are a couple of tips on diagnosing your phone answering issues and what you can do to remedy them:
It's only as Simple as You Make It.
Answering the business calls is far from rocket science, but there are some basic rules to follow which makes analysing if your business can benefit from a dedicated phone answering service easy. If your call handling staff habitually put customers on hold, don't pick up calls after the first couple of rings or don't answer all together, or require customers to repeat information over and over then it may be time for a change. These things can happen even if you have the best call answering staff. They may just not be equipped properly with the right technology or haven't had the right training. Having a professional phone answering service will help avoid these negative call experiences. By only hiring experienced and reliable staff that is specifically trained for handling calls, telephone answering services assure your business calls will be a first class experience for your customers.
The Voice of Your Business.
The people who answer your business's phone calls are the voice of your business. Having the best product or service is rendered moot if the people selling or answering questions about it are not professional. This really hurts all of the people involved in assembling the best product or service for your customers and therefore deserves thoughtful consideration. The voice of your business should reflect the quality of its product. In order to avoid lessening your product's value through inexperienced or simply unprofessional call management, hire a professional call answering service.
Most businesses who don't take advantage of call answering services will no doubt lose business. By spending a little extra money you will give your business a leg up on the competition because you can be sure that they will answer every call and give your customers the help they deserve. It's fair to say that when the basics of call answering are done right, those customers will continue to do business with your company because they know if they need anything it's just a hassle free call away.

Allan Saint-Maximin is 'probably' considering a Newcastle United exit this summer.
That's the view of Magpies legend Steve Howey, who has urged the French forward to 'just wait' for the return of supporters who 'absolutely love' him.
Saint-Maximin endured a disrupted second season at St James' Park, with injuries and a lengthy Covid-19 absence restricting the attacker to just 26 appearances in all competitions.
The Magpies regularly struggled in the 24-year-old's absence, and his matchwinning cameo at Burnley in April helped kickstart United's late-season revival.
Saint-Maximin agreed an improved six-year contract last October, but that has not stopped rumours over a possible summer move.
A recent report claims the club have placed a £70m price tag on the forward, with Roma among the clubs credited with an interest.
Steve Bruce issued a hands-off warning last month, and Howey has urged Saint-Maximin to wait for the full return of fans who 'adore' him.
The former Magpies defender told Transfer Tavern : "You see little clips of him and he's very good. Will he be tempted to move? Probably.
"I haven't read into his interviews about what he's been saying, but if he is thinking, just wait. Wait until the fans come back because if you produce some of the stuff that you are, you will not leave because they will absolutely adore you.
"I think there's nothing better than being at a club where the supporters absolutely love you."

"Given the profound consequences of loneliness and isolation, we have an opportunity, and an obligation, to make the same investments in addressing social connection that we have made in addressing tobacco use, obesity, and the addiction crisis." - Dr. Vivek Murthy, 19th and 21st Surgeon General of the United States
June 12th-18th is Global Loneliness Awareness Week (GLAW), an annual campaign to bring international awareness to the crisis of social isolation and loneliness. Since the Marmalade Trust (a leading loneliness Charity in the United Kingdom) started GLAW in 2017, it has gained momentum both in the UK and internationally. Unsurprisingly, loneliness is something that most of us will experience at some point of our lives. Despite this, the consequences of prolonged or consistent feelings of loneliness or isolation are unfortunately often overlooked. Loneliness takes many different forms and can be caused by a number of different factors or catalysts. For example, specific life events, workplace situations, and a sense of disconnect from people in your life can all contribute to a feeling of loneliness. Beyond this, more often than not, you won't know if someone else is lonely unless they express that. In 2018, BBC's Loneliness Experiment revealed that the stereotype of older individuals being the loneliest was simply false; instead, 16 to 24-year-olds reported the highest levels of loneliness. With that said, every age range exhibited a significant proportion of individuals who regularly experienced loneliness. Today, loneliness in the United States has been classified a public health crisis both due to its widespread nature and the litany of adverse consequences stemming from it. Dr. Vivek Murthy, the current surgeon general, noted that recent studies reveal that one-in-two adults in America reported experiencing loneliness in his recent advisory. Beyond that, loneliness and social isolation can significantly affect your health as it can contribute to cognitive decline, heart disease, anxiety, depression, and many more health challenges. Fortunately, loneliness is very fixable and anyone can take immediate steps to feel better. Telling others how you feel, thinking about your own emotional and social needs, and making plans to start building those social connections are all great steps in combating loneliness. You can read the national advisory here. In his advisory, Dr. Murthy listed several strategies including participating in social and community groups, minimizing distractions during conversations, and actively engaging with people of different backgrounds and experiences. Here at the Center for Council, we offer Social Connection Councils (SCCs) where you get the opportunity to learn the basics of council, listen to each other without judgment, and speak from the heart. Previous participants report feeling more connected, grounded, and calm; moreover, they note how authentic and mindful the discussions were. These are just one of many different opportunities for all of us to work on combating this now widespread epidemic of loneliness. With loneliness becoming more and more relevant, it is now more important than others that we prioritize human connections. Be it through SCCs or other methods, there are many different ways that we can all prioritize our own and our community's well being by committing to reconnecting with others. Fortunately, making connections with others is perhaps the most human skill. You can read the national advisory here. And register for a SCC here. Leave a Reply. |

Sideremia is defined as the amount of iron present in the blood serum and is called serum iron. This serum is the yellowish liquid that remains after allowing the Blood to clot and removing the clot. The serum iron concentration is higher in men than in women and children under one year of age, but, in general, the value ranges between 60 and 180 µg / dl and, when the amount is lower, 30 µg / dl. Low sideremia or hyposideremia is considered.
If the cause of hyposideremia is prolonged or very serious, there is a risk of developing iron-deficiency anemia; it is essential to know how to detect the symptoms of this condition and assist the doctor in normalizing the amount of iron in the Blood. If you want to know more about low sideremia: symptoms, we invite you to read the following article by FastlyHeal.
Table of Contents
Hyposideremia: symptoms
When the level of iron in the blood serum is low, it is possible to notice it through a series of symptoms, whose intensity and moment of appearance can indicate the degree of low sideremia since the insufficiency of this essential mineral in the organism causes that there is less oxygen supply in the different tissues, altering their function. The sideremy low reflected mainly by:
- Soft spot.
- Tiredness, especially after physical exertion, can become chronic.
- Headaches.
- Dizziness
- Irritability or other emotional disorders, such as depression.
- Trouble concentrating
- Pale skin
- Increased heart rate due to overexertion of the heart to circulate Blood and equalize oxygen requirements.
- Difficulty breathing.
- Cracks at the corners of the lips.
- Brittle nails
- The impulse to want to eat strange things, for example, ice or dirt. This disorder is known as malacia or pica.
Causes of low serum iron
There are several reasons why you can suffer from hyposideremia. They are not necessarily related to the lack of iron in the body but may be involved with some alterations that do not allow this mineral to be absorbed correctly and, in this case, requires greater medical control. Among the causes of low blood pressure, the following stand out:
- A low iron diet could include foods poor in this mineral, as happens in some vegetarian diets that are prolonged or in those who have celiac disease.
- The body cannot quickly replace the significant losses of red blood cells and, therefore, iron with heavy menstrual bleeding.
- During pregnancy, there is a more substantial expenditure on iron due to the requirement of this mineral for the development of pregnancy.
- Gastrointestinal bleeding or hemorrhages prevent the adequate absorption of iron in the body and cause the loss of it.
- Administration of certain medications may interfere with the absorption of iron or alter the serum iron analysis. For example, testosterone, cholestyramine, colchicine, and some antibiotics.
- Other conditions, mainly chronic inflammations, such as Crohn's disease, or an advanced stage of neoplasia.
Treatment for low sideremia
To know the iron level in the blood serum, a blood sample is drawn from the vein, to be later analyzed in the laboratory. This test is recommended in the morning on an empty stomach when the iron concentration is highest and to evaluate if you suffer from a deficiency. Also, it is essential to inform your doctor if you are taking any drug, as it could affect the test result.
Hyposideremia treatment
When low serum levels are determined, the treatment will depend on the cause of it. If it is a deficiency, in general, the specialist can prescribe the intake of iron supplements, whose dose and duration of treatment will be indicated only by him, without resorting to self-medication; otherwise, it could not improve the situation or cause an excess of the mineral, producing more alterations. It is pretty standard for the doctor to prescribe iron in pregnancy. You may also recommend a moderate intake of iron-rich foods.
On the other hand, if the hyposideremia is due to malabsorption of iron or loss of it due to an alteration of the organism, the doctor must grant a treatment to keep this condition under control and administer iron in supplements a complement. Whereas, if it is a drug that lowers the iron level in the blood serum, it is enough for the doctor to suspend its intake and prescribe another that is adjusted to the health condition.

Bill Nye "the science guy" stated that those who question the idea of anthropogenic climate change are unpatriotic, during an interview with Rachel Maddow.
Without mentioning the scandals of falsified data coming from East Anglia University, and use of unsubstantiated, and bogus sources which have caused notoriety for the IPCC, Nye stated that the latter groups report must be believed since it won a scientific prize from the Nobel committee.
Ummmmm, that was a peace prize shared between Algore and the IPCC in 2007, not a prize in science. Not kidding… a PEACE prize for bogus science.
There is only one recommendation regarding Bill Nye………… turn off your television. If he hallucinates this badly regarding global warming / climate change, he cant be trusted to convey scientific ideas and information accurately. He appears not to understand the scientific method nor the spirit of inquiry which fuels it.

Thunder Radio is 100% owned and operated in Manchester, TN by local married couple Josh and Holly Peterson.
Josh Peterson
Josh was born and raised in the New Union community of Coffee County. He is a 2004 graduate of Coffee County Central High School, where he was a 3-year letterman for the Raider baseball team. Josh spent 15 years in the newspaper and radio industry before he and Holly purchased the radio station in September of 2019. He also served as an assistant baseball coach at Westwood Middle School (2005-2006), Coffee County High School (2007-2012 and 2017) and Grundy County High School (2014). You can often hear him on Thunder Radio's daily The Morning Show from 6:30-8 p.m. and on other random programming, including sports broadcasts. He is a diehard UT Vols fan and loves the Atlanta Braves.
Holly Peterson
Holly (accurately referred to as the one people like most) was born in Augusta, GA and moved to Manchester, TN when she was 12-years old. From that point she has been embedded into the Manchester community, graduating from Coffee County Central High School in 2003, where she was a 1-year letterman in soccer. She spent over a decade in the healthcare field in radiology before leaving to work in radio full time in January, 2020. You can hear her voice every morning on The Morning Show from 6:30-8 and you will often see her around the sports fields lugging a camera for action photos.
Since purchasing the radio station, Josh and Holly remain hyper-focused on providing Manchester with its very own local radio station – much the same as previous owners have done since 1957, when WMSR first went on the air. They launched and published a quarterly magazine (Thunder The Magazine) for two years that was focused on highlighting local sports teams and athletes and remain more committed than ever to bringing quality sports broadcasts and local news coverage to the area on the airwaves, online at thunder1320.com and through their social media channels on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and Tiktok, where they are connecting a whole new generation of youth with the traditions and importance of WMSR Thunder Radio.
As business owners themselves, Josh and Holly are also dedicated and focused on helping other businesses grow their operations. They often go above and beyond for their advertising clients on Thunder Radio to ensure their investment is returned beyond their expectations. Thunder Radio was named Manchester Area Chamber of Commerce Small business of the Year and has been voted Manchester's Finest Radio Station every single year for more than a decade.
Josh and Holly are also part of the group that formed and operates the Dream for Weave Foundation – a 501c3 nonprofit organization in the memory of late WMSR Sports Director Dennis Weaver. The foundation provided over $40,000 in assistance to local athletes through scholarships, fee assistance and equipment purchases in its first two years of operation. This organization operates out of the radio station studios at 1030 Oakdale St. in Manchester, TN. The non profit and Thunder Radio teamed up in 2022 to form the Thundie Sports Awards, a red-carpet event which recognized nearly three dozen area student athletes for their excellent performance and awarded $13,000 in scholarships to athletes going to college.. This event was an overwhelming success, selling out of tickets and sponsorships in its inaugural year, and went on to provide $23,000 in scholarships in 2023.
Josh and Holly live in the New Union community where they raise Cole and Gracie, who are both CHS Red Raider athletes.

Welcome! Need support, you got it. Or share your ideas and experiences.
Return to VK Music - Elekit & Triode Japan Forum
I built an ANK amp with 300B tubes, and it works great. I decided to give the Elekit TU-8600R with Lundahl transformers a try and compare. I just finished building it and the initial power on was very disappointing. I thought that the build was fairly easy, and I was confident that I did everything right. But only the power on LED and the two 12AU7 tubes light up. I may be a builder but I am not a troubleshooter. What I would like to do is to pack my amp up and ship it to someone who knows what they are doing. I will pay very well for this service. Is there anyone who can help me?
Follow Ups:
I'm certain that Viktor will happily assist you.
Alternatively you could just ask us to troubleshoot...by posting pictures of the build...etc. taking measurements...etc. etc.

Facts about smoothing systems
To understand how smoothing systems work, it's best to understand the basic foundation of hair chemistry
- Hair is made of amino acids, which combine together to build proteins
- As the hair grows, the amino acids form together as a long chain called keratin
- These long protein chains wrap around each other like a rope, which makes up the basic structure of the hair
- Inside the hair structure, the keratin forms crosslinks with adjacent cysteine.
- The wavy or curly nature of the hair fibres is dependent on the presence of ortho cortical cells in the hair cortex
- Typically, the more ortho cortical cells in a hair fibre, the curlier the hair
- Smoothing services fill in the cortex with additional crosslinks in order to create a new, smooth surface
- Key smoothing ingredient is Glyoxylol Carbocysteine, Glyoxylol Keratin Amino Acids that work in tandem to create strong crosslinks between the keratin proteins in the hair fibre
- When the crosslinking agent is flat-ironed in the hair, a fairly long-lasting smoothing effect is produced
- Since the treatment does not permanently change the internal structure of the hair, the stylist has the ability to offer

Seemingly everywhere we look throughout society, change is occurring at a blistering pace. Often the change transpires so fast we have little or no time to react, leading to non-optimal adoption of the change, ignoring of the change's benefits, or worse – an unanticipated step backwards for the organization.
As federal agencies transform and respond to administration mandates, congressional requests, and global market demands, change is a necessary constant. Maximizing the potential of changes is a huge challenge – and missing out on that potential results in a missed opportunity, wasted resources, and a hit to achieving your agency's mission.
Agencies' missions evolve and change. Their workforces change. Their challenges change. While the world around them advances and fluctuates, agencies must adapt or face the prospect of not fulfilling their missions.
Implementing change – such as a new business process, organizational structure, or budget allocation – is just one aspect of the full picture.
Without successful change management, successful adoption of the change is unlikely, resulting in numerous problems that could include reduced job satisfaction, reduced morale, poorer engagement, and wasted resources.
There are several proven steps that a federal agency should embrace to maximize the potential of a new business process or other organizational change, leading to a successful project that helps an agency better fulfill its mission.
- Stakeholder analysis
This initial step will document the needs of the change management process across your agency's internal and external stakeholders. - Interviews and focus groups
This step ensures there is an understanding from various perspectives and stakeholder groups. - Change Management Plan
Creating a formal change management plan ensures everyone involved in the change management process understands the roles of everyone affected, and it serves as the roadmap to help ensure universal buy-in and adoption. - Ongoing stakeholder engagement
To eliminate misunderstandings, break down silos, and ensure the change process is on track, regularly engaging and meeting with stakeholders is critical. - Employee communications
Clear and ongoing communications with all affected employees helps ensure successful adoption and generally improves morale and job satisfaction, while removing uncertainty, doubt, and debilitating confusion. - Training
Having a targeted and clear training plan is another key component of change management that helps improve adoption and success. These should include a range of training events to share information and educate the workforce on changes impacting them. - Supporting Collateral
Designing, developing, and distributing collateral such as posters, wallet cards, infographics, webinars, training guides, videos, marketing materials, or other communication materials helps employees understand the benefits of the change and how to adapt to the change, which goes a long way to help reach full adoption.
The world is changing and the federal government – including agencies and their workforces – is no exception.
Accordingly, forward-thinking agencies embrace continuous change.
The agencies that are best at managing change will continue to be the most successful.
If you're ready to learn how our industry-leading change management capabilities can help your agency, contact us today for no-cost consultation.

Disney Fans Think 'Encanto' and 'The Fast and the Furious' Take Place in the Same Universe
Encanto is Disney's latest family offering that has audiences of all ages discussing its entertaining adventure. Several fan theories are rounding the Internet trying to make sense of the movie into the bigger picture. However, one Disney fan theory in particular hilariously places Encanto and The Fast and the Furious into the same universe.
What are 'Encanto' and 'The Fast and the Furious' about?
Encanto follows a young Colombian girl named Mirabel (voiced by Stephanie Beatriz). A miraculous candle grants all members of her family magical powers when they come of age that matches their personalities. However, Mirabel is the only family member to never receive a gift. Now, she must fight to keep the family's magic together when the candle's magic begins to fade.
Meanwhile, The Fast and the Furious franchise focuses on the action in a world filled with street racing, various heists, and how a chosen family can help them achieve anything that they set their minds to. However, the series has progressively moved away from street racing and toward spy missions.
Disney fans are hilariously placing 'Encanto' and the 'The Fast and the Furious' in the same universe
A Redditor hilariously theorized that Encanto and The Fast and the Furious actually take place in the same universe. They are vastly different movies and one is animated, while the other is live-action. Nevertheless, this humorous theory places Dominic Toretto (Vin Diesel) from Encanto's Madrigal family.
The Fast and the Furious begins a bit more grounded compared to where it ends up. The car stuntwork is impressive, but there isn't much too outside of the realm of possibility. However, The Fast and the Furious ultimately includes extreme stuntwork that would never happen in real life. Perhaps the proof of the candle's magic at work?
Dom's magical gift awakens as his family continues to grow. The bigger his crew becomes, the more outlandish his stunts become. The Redditor points to Encanto's magical gift being rooted in family. This is the exact same theme explored in The Fast and the Furious franchise.
Other Redditors responded in the comments calling it "utter nonsense and I love it." Another Redditor hit back with, "Kind of like The Fast and the Furious franchise."
The hope of sequels
It's hit-and-miss when Disney will greenlight a sequel to any of their movies. Encanto ties up its loose ends rather well and doesn't really require a sequel. However, that doesn't mean that Disney won't find a way to continue the story in film, television, or another animated form.
The Fast and the Furious most recently hit theaters with F9. However, a 10th installment will be split into two separate feature films. They are set to hit theaters in 2023 and 2024, respectively. However, Universal Pictures also has an untitled women-led entry and another Hobbs & Shaw movie in the works.
Encanto is available to watch now on the streaming platform Disney+.
