Most well-known for We Need to Talk about Kevin, the best-selling novel about a school massacre that made a successful transition to the big screen in 2011, Lionel Shriver is an undeniably accomplished novelist.
In Big Brother, the American continues her mission to tackle difficult but timely subjects; this time it's obesity.
The plot appears unedifying: Pandora is a freakishly successful businesswoman and the stepmother to her husband Fletcher's teenage children who is helping to support her spouse's failing furniture business.
When Pandora's brother Edison arrives to stay, her once-svelte, jazz-musician sibling is unrecognisably fat and as he stays way past his welcome – and breaks one of Fletcher's beloved chairs – the tensions become unbearable. In a desperate bid to help her suicidal brother lose weight, they move into a flat together and commit to "nutritional fascism", also known as a liquid diet.
Though the subject matter might seem as appealing as watching lard melt, Shriver is a keen social commentator who fully understands human frailty and emotion.

Inspecting gold for authenticity is crucial, especially when making significant investments in bullions or bars. There are several methods, both simple and advanced, to determine if gold is genuine. Here's a guide to help you authenticate your gold:
1. Visual Inspection:
Begin by checking for any obvious signs of wear or discoloration. Genuine gold should not rust or tarnish.
2. Hallmark/Stamp:
Gold bullions, bars, or jewelry often come with a hallmark or stamp indicating its purity (like "999" for 99.9% pure gold or "22K" for 22 karats). Familiarize yourself with the common hallmarks used in your region.
3. Magnetic Test:
Gold is not magnetic. Hold a strong magnet (like a rare-earth magnet) to the gold item. If it's attracted to the magnet, it's likely not pure gold. However, note that other non-magnetic metals can also be mixed with gold, so this test alone isn't conclusive.
4. Density Test:
- Weigh the gold item.
- Submerge it in a graduated cylinder filled with water and note the volume of water displaced.
- Calculate the density by dividing the weight by the volume.
- Pure gold has a density of approximately 19.32 g/cm^3. If your item's density is significantly different, it may not be pure gold.
5. Ceramic Plate Test:
Dragging gold over an unglazed ceramic plate will leave a streak. If the gold is real, the streak will be golden-yellow. If it's fake, the streak might be black.
6. Nitric Acid Test:
This test should be done with caution and preferably while wearing gloves and protective eyewear. Drop a small amount of nitric acid on the gold item. Real gold won't react, but fake gold will discolor.
7. Professional Appraisal:
If in doubt, take your gold item to a trusted jeweler or professional appraiser. They have advanced testing tools, like electronic gold testers and X-ray fluorescence machines, that provide more accurate results.
8. Ultrasound Test:
Real gold conducts sound waves at a specific speed (3,250 m/s). Jewelers can use ultrasound machines to check if the speed of sound through the item matches that of genuine gold.
9. Bite Test:
While more folklore than a definitive test, pure gold is soft, so biting down on it could leave a small indentation. However, this method is not recommended as it can damage the gold (or your teeth!) and other soft metals might leave similar marks.
10. Size and Weight:
For gold bullions and bars, any discrepancy in size and weight could be a sign of counterfeiting. Familiarize yourself with standard weights and sizes.
11. Documentation:
If purchasing gold bars or bullions, they should come with a certificate of authenticity indicating weight, dimensions, and purity.
12. Surface Consistency:
Inspect the gold item under a magnifying glass. Gold bars or coins minted by professionals should have a consistent texture and color. Any inconsistencies might raise suspicions.
13. Ask the Seller:
Reputable dealers should be able to provide detailed information about the gold's origin, the refining process, and its authenticity.
Remember, no single test can guarantee the authenticity of gold with 100% certainty. It's often best to combine multiple methods and, when in doubt, consult with professionals.
In the intricate dance of commerce and tradition, gold bullions stand as timeless symbols of wealth and trust. Authenticating these gleaming treasures is not just an act of scrutiny, but a necessary step to preserve the integrity of a legacy built over millennia. Through various methods, from visual inspection to advanced technological assessments, we fortify our trust in what is genuine. As we delve into the heart of a gold piece, the weight, hallmarks, dimensions, and even its sound unveil its story and legitimacy. While technology continues to evolve, offering sophisticated tools for verification, the age-old principles of diligence, knowledge, and attention to detail remain paramount. In our quest for authenticity, we not only validate a tangible asset but also uphold a tradition of trust and honor in trade. Inspecting the authenticity of gold bullions is thus, not merely a process, but a profound responsibility.

Final Charter for Working Group
The focus of the USERDOC2 Working Group is on identifying and locating
documentation about the Internet. A major activity is the revision of
an existing bibliography of on-line and hard copy documents/reference
materials/training tools addressing general networking information and
``How to use the Internet'' (RFC 1175, FYI 3). This effort will also be
used to help locate documentation produced by other organizations and
examine the means by which such documents are made available on the
Internet. The target audience is those individuals who provide services
to end users and end users themselves. The group is also developing a
new FYI RFC document designed as a very short bibliography targeted at
novice users.
The USERDOC2 Working Group will:
(1) Identify and categorize useful documents, reference materials,
training tools, and other publications about the Internet, particularly
those available on-line.
(2) Publish on-line and hard copies of the bibliographies produced and
other reference material on documentation as needs are identified.
(3) Develop and implement procedures to maintain and update the
bibliography and investigate methods to provide the information in an
on-line format.
(4) As a part of the update process, identify new materials for
inclusion in the active bibliography and identify additional needs
which are required for locating documentation and other publications.
(5) Review procedures for periodic review of the bibliography by the
User Services Working Group.
(6) Examine methods for delivering documentation and work with
providers to improve the availability of basic Internet documentation.

SIGNAL PROCESSING-IMAGE COMMUNICATION, vol.81, 2020 (SCI-Expanded)
In recent years, many computational models for saliency prediction have been introduced. For dynamic scenes, the existing models typically combine different feature maps extracted from spatial and temporal domains either by following generic integration strategies such as averaging or winners take all or using machine learning techniques to set each feature's importance. Rather than resorting to these fixed feature integration schemes, in this paper, we propose a novel weakly supervised dynamic saliency model called HedgeSal, which is based on a decision-theoretic online learning scheme. Our framework uses two pretrained deep static saliency models as experts to extract individual saliency maps from appearance and motion streams, and then generates the final saliency map by weighted decisions of all these models. As visual characteristics of dynamic scenes constantly vary, the models providing consistently good predictions in the past are automatically assigned higher weights, allowing each expert to adjust itself to the current conditions. We demonstrate the effectiveness of our model on the CRCNS, UCFSports and CITIUS datasets.

If someone forwarded this to you, you can read about who I am here. I was a strategist and equity partner at the biggest hedge fund in the world. Now I make my thoughts available to you and implement them with my own capital. This Substack grows via word-of-mouth, so please forward to your friends. If you like this writing, you will enjoy my books Master, Minion, and Raising a Thief. This is not investment advice. Investing is risky and sometimes painful.
Words that caught my eye.
"No human being can know the future. The greatest of disasters may overtake a man in the best of places, and the greatest happiness may seek him out in the worst. "
Solzhenitsyn, The Gulag Archipelago
"I've no doubt it is in our biology to be aggressive and lethal, just as it is to be deeply caring and loving."
Anthropologist Robert Foley, quoted in The Violence Inside Us, by Chris Murphy
Fear as Motivator
I was plunging downhill on a mountain bike when I saw the thick, oscillating midsection of a rattlesnake perpendicular to me and crossing the path below. Without thinking, I simultaneously clutched the brakes, dismounted, and ran uphill while the slithering mass of snake crossed the trail. My heart pounded. I could see shiny Salt Lake City visible in the distance below. That was a time when our inborn fight or flight mechanism worked exactly as designed.
As a motivator, fear works well, but it is an unpleasant way to live if it is a consistent throb as opposed to an isolated spurt. I only realized how much fear dictated my behavior in the academic and corporate worlds once I left them. One universal, unwritten rule was that you got paid if your boss liked you, meaning the incentive was survival conviviality. Of course, they'd justify any decision based on metrics in the same way the Supreme Court claims can overturn a precedent based on "logic." My novel—Master, Minion—I only realized after I wrote it, is about how tough it is to escape such strictures, which are both emotional and financial.
Money is a tool that facilitates escape, like the little saws prisoners use to get out of jail in the movies. You get it by spending less and earning more. But once you realize how volatile the money system really is, you recognize eliminating fear about its future value is neither realistic nor advisable. It's just a question of dialing in the right magnitude of fear, such that it is enough to keep you on your toes, but not so much that you miss an opportunity.
Emotional Balance Beam
I've been trying to figure out that balance for some time. Some heart in my throat makes me feel alive. I felt that before leaving for Russia in the fall of 1991, staring at my supplies, including a short-wave radio, which was how you got news back then. Ditto becoming a young parent, putting on a trade for the first time, and voluntarily giving up a regular corporate paycheck to do what I do now. All these episodes pushed me forward but were also terrifying because they forced me into situations where I had to invent rather than follow an existing track.
That struggle to appropriately channel emotion also applies to investing. Our in-born, fight-or-flight mechanism can come in handy and it can impede our ability to see opportunities. Fear has helped me avoid many risks but eliminated certain possibilities. In particular, I've wrestled with stock market bubbles, of which I've lived through two and may be in the early innings of another as excitement or perhaps euphoria over artificial intelligence (AI) sweeps markets.
As of Friday, the 10% return of the S&P 500 this year is fully explained by just 5 stocks. What that means is that if you own individual stocks then your portfolio can be losing money even as the news breathlessly reports a rising stock market. The table below shows the top five stocks, their weight in the S&P500 index, annual performance, and contribution to the index return. For instance, Nvidea alone, up 172%, is responsible for 30% of the S&P 500 returns this year.
There are two possible explanations. Either investors think these companies in particular are about to make an enormous amount of money or we are in the early stages of a bubble. Confusingly, both might be true.
Techphoria #1
Humans get excited by new technology in the same way that they are fascinated by Star Trek and spaceships. I recall in the 1970s wondering if it would ever be possible to see the person you were talking with on the phone. That sounded futuristic at the time. Now, FaceTime, Google Meets, and the rest of it are our day-to-day.
In the process, we have had two massive tech bubbles, 1999-2001 and 2020-2022. I remember them each vividly and this leaves me cautious about the enthusiasm of crowds because they tend to get carried away and their behavior impacts the pricing of everything I own. In each case there was a) a fundamental change in technology and b) an overreaction to the potential profitability of this technology that ended in losses for people who bought in late. Because total capital is limited (though it can come from multiple sources), the money going into the bubble comes from somewhere, including the assets you already own. It's like a wave so powerful that, as it gathers strength, it sucks all the water out to sea.
Chart: Price history of the NASDAQ with the stock market bubbles indicated in red.\
During the 1999 stock bubble, I worked on a currency trading desk. I didn't understand much about the stock market back then except that all the people around me were excited by what was going on and buying stocks that were increasing in value at an astonishing rate. I vaguely knew about the 1929 crash my father had lived through, where stocks lost 90% of their value. On the advice of a salesman who serviced tech companies, I made two small investments. (Key lesson: never ever make an investment because someone you know says it is a good idea, do your own homework).
One company went bankrupt in the ensuing bust. I don't recall its name. I lost 100%. The other, stamps.com, allowed you to print postage from your computer, sidestepping the post office. After I bought it, it briefly rose in value. Then, once the market peaked, it lost most of its value. I held on. Years later, not only did it return to that original share price but rose well above it, just like the NASDAQ above. I sold my shares slightly above where I'd bought them, considering myself lucky I got my money back.
The company was finally bought for $330 a share by a private equity firm in 2021 at the peak of the second tech bubble. This means if I look at the two investments together I lost 100% on the first, could have made roughly 100% on the second, and together would have earned about 2% per year over 20 years. In other words, if you buy a stock that is too expensive at the outset, it is very hard to earn decent money.

There can be nothing worse than a bad case of halitosis, otherwise known as bad breath. Some people have problems with it that has nothing to do with poor hygiene, unlike what many may think when they come across someone with bad breath.
Learning about what causes halitosis can be important for individuals suffering from it and for others that come across it.
Do you Suffer from Bad Breath? What are the Causes and Treatment? |
Individuals that suffer from halitosis have the main symptom of bad breath. This may not even be noticeable to the individual that is suffering from it at the time, but others may comment on it. The reasons for halitosis can go deeper than just the obvious ones of poor dental health, forgetting to brush, or having spicy food for lunch that day.
What many may not realize is that halitosis can be a warning sign that something else is wrong with them. Some of the things that bad breath can be a symptom of are tonsil stones, acid reflux, cancer, diabetes and other serious conditions.
Knowing the reason why a person has halitosis is important to determine how to prevent it or treat it. For the simple causes it is easy to remember to go to the dentist, brush your teeth often, and buy a pack of breath freshening gum or candy to use after the foods that give you bad breath to treat it.
If the halitosis is actually a symptom of something else that may be wrong with you, getting the right treatment from a doctor is essential for your health and well-being. When you visit your dentist, talking with them about the problem with your breath you have been having should prompt them to finding the cause or referring you to a doctor.
Finding out what causes halitosis is important because some may think that it is just a lack of keeping up with a person's mouth, but that is not the only cause. There are other very serious conditions that could be the root cause of your bad breath.
If using gums, mints, brushing your teeth as recommended, and seeing your dentist does not help your bad breath, scheduling a visit to your doctor can help get to the bottom of the reasons for your problem breath.

It's been written that someone called bad breath halitosis many years ago in a deliberate attempt to create a medical term for a common problem. At the time, bad breath was regarded as more of a personal hygiene issue than a medical problem. The name stuck but it was still a long time before anyone really started taking breath odor seriously from a medical perspective, and today, halitosis is not the proper medical term - physicians say "fetor oris," "ozostomia," or "stomatodysodia.

And in today's article, I will tell you how to fix Twitter DM reactions not showing up.
It is not the first issue that Twitter users are facing this month.

Twitter DM Reactions Not Showing Up (Update April 27, 2024)
The new issue with the Bird app people are facing and complaining about is Twitter DM reactions not showing up. As we all know, reacting to messages is the easiest way of expressing what we feel about a particular message sent by someone. On Twitter, you have 7 emojis that you can use to react to a particular chat, and these are the Funny emoji, Sad emoji, Surprised emoji, Heart emoji, Fire emoji, Thumbs up emoji, and Thumbs down emoji.
But since the last night, Twitter users have been complaining that they are not able to react to DM messages with emojis. Instead of an emoji, they are finding Funny, Sad, Surprised, Like (for heart emoji), Excited (for fire emoji), Agree (for thumbs up), and Disagree (for thumbs down) written under chat. Many are wondering if this is a new change or some glitch. A user tweeted, "Am I the only one who's reactions in DM just decided to take a sh*t today, or is this a Twitter moment most of us are in together only the."

In my line of work it is essential that I am able to export my images to 8 bit .BMP Is it possible that this option may be added, or is there a simple alternative....without resorting to PhotoShop?
I had to keep my Draw Plus loaded because of nice features that it has which Affinity does not. Strange that Affinity is basically a Serif Draw Plus upgrade but is missing important items. I load a lot of pictures in Draw and trace so I can save as a dxf or dwg to use in my cnc software for my router table. Since I bought Affinity and its workbook(which is pretty nice), I rarely use it as all the processes I do are in draw + tracing and saving as cad files. Hope this gets added. I have every serif product there is and always keep them updated. I just had to use Draw+ for the most basic stuff. I can open a .bmp file in Affinity but you cant save/export a BMP????? Thats just messed up. I did a search in the help and nothing there.

From: | Representative Frank A. Farry |
To: | All House members |
Subject: | Proposed House Rule Change |
On January 1, 2019, the Pennsylvania House of Representatives took the historic step of expanding the House Ethical Conduct Rules to cover incidents of sexual harassment by Members or Officers of the House against House employees. These new rules provide a process for complaints and investigations including, where warranted, referrals to law enforcement agencies. After investigation, if the House Ethics Committee determines that sexual harassment or retaliation has occurred, the Committee can recommend reprimand, censure, expulsion or the denial or limitation of other privileges granted a Member. The ultimate discipline would, as provided in Article II, Section 11 of the Pennsylvania Constitution, be decided by the House. Over the course of the last few months, there have been discussions about expanding the scope of the new rules to specifically encompass complaints of sexual harassment against a Member or Officer of the House in circumstances related to their office or employment. I plan to introduce this proposed change in the near future. Please consider co-sponsoring this important change to our House Rules. Thank you. |

With the new event, many new creatures have been added to Warhammer 40K: Darktide, which are deadlier than before. The deadly creature we're going to talk about right now is Daemonhost. Daemonhost is one of the most challenging creatures to defeat in Warhammer 40K Darktide and here is how to defeat it.
How To Beat Daemonhost
Defeating Daemonhost is very difficult because it can float, it moves very quickly, and, worst of all, it can deplete your health in a matter of seconds. Before fighting Daemonhost, the first thing you must ensure is that there must be no other creatures present near the battle area, or things might go against you, and you must also make sure your teammates have ammo stocked as well as total health.
You'll need to use the Ogryn Slab Shield to wake up the Daemonhost; this is to give your teammates enough to deal as much damage as possible on Daemonhost. However, if none of your teammates have a Shield Slab, then a zealot will be fine.
While fighting with the Ogryn Shield is a good idea as it enhances the chance of your team's survival, you must note that Daemonhost radiates corruption, so fighting for too long can be dangerous.
All of your teammates must equip the most significant damage weapons, and if the first runners in your team die, there must be a replacement for them. You must not let Daemonhost devour your teammates. A unique way to defeat Daemonhost is to never stand in the same place, as its attacks are even more deadly when they are direct.
Defeating Daemonhost in Warhammer 40K Darktide can be tricky as it requires constant teamwork and planning, but with our guide, you'll be able to defeat it in no time. Don't worry if you die multiple times, as dying in the game increases your experience in battle and gives you an upper hand in the rematch.

The current text editors are no longer mere programs that are responsible for collecting our words, paragraphs and pages of characters. Perhaps a few years ago these applications focused on office automation were limited to these tasks, but today solutions such as Word or Writer they go much further.
The first title that we have mentioned above and that is part of the popular Microsoft office suite. In fact, we can safely say that this text editor is the most popular and used in the world. A good part of all this is given thanks to the work of the Redmond giant and the updates and new versions that it has been sending us.
In this way, the text editors that we can find on the market today, not just Microsoft's Word, have become powerful software solutions. And it is that in addition to the basic tasks that they propose to us, we can carry out many more complex ones thanks to the integrated functions that we find. Getting the most out of these programs will depend on how much we want to delve into how they work. Hence precisely that at this time for example Word is trained to meet the needs of an ordinary user or any large company.
When we install the aforementioned office suite on our computer, it includes several applications. The aforementioned Word is included here. This is prepared so that we can work with it from the first moment and configured with the most common parameters. But how could it be otherwise, we have a multitude of options for program settings and thus adapt it to our needs.
Fix bugs with Word fonts with this change
In addition to spending the program to the operating mode that we really need, these functions will also help us to solve certain faults. In fact, along these lines we want to focus on some problems that we sometimes encounter when it comes to work with fonts in Word. For those of you who don't know, when we talk about fonts from a text editor or from any other program, we refer to the fonts available at any given time or for each project.
Therefore, as you can imagine, we are not talking about a dispensable element, but one of the most important in this type of work. In the case of you find them with some failure to use or read fonts In a document of this Microsoft program, we recommend that you follow the steps that we will detail below. What we are going to show is how to embed the fonts to be used and thus we will not have problems with them again. The advantage of all this is that, if we share that document with others, they will have no problem when reading these elements.
The first thing we do in this case is open the program settings through the File / Options menu. In the new window that appears we go to the Save section where we can already locate the section called Stay faithful when sharing this document. Here we will have the possibility to activate Embed fonts in the file and mark the first of the available options that by default is deactivated. This will prevent us and any other user having problems with fonts again.

Chimeric Antigen Receptor T-cells represent a breakthrough in personalized cancer therapy. In this strategy, synthetic receptors comprised of antigen recognition, signaling, and stimulatory domains are used to reprogram T-cells to target tumor cells for destruction. Despite the success of this approach in refractory B-cell malignancies, optimal potency of CAR T-cell therapy for many other cancers, particularly solid tumors, has not been achieved. NK cells are powerful cytotoxic lymphocytes specialized in recognizing and dispensing with changed cells, and in coordinating versatile anti-tumor immunity.NK cells are as a rule practically depleted within the tumor microenvironment. In like manner, current investigate endeavors center on exactness designing of CAR T-cells with routine CRISPR-Cas9 frameworks or novel editors that can introduce craved hereditary changes with or without presentation of a double-stranded break into the genome. These instruments and methodologies can be specifically connected to focusing on negative controllers of T-cell work, coordinating helpful transgenes to particular genomic loci, and producing reproducibly secure and powerful allogeneic widespread CAR T-cell items for on-demand cancer immunotherapy. The revelation and improvement of the CRISPR/Cas9 innovation offer an adaptable and proficient gene-editing capability in tweaking different pathways that intercede NK cell fatigue and in outfitting NK cells with novel chimeric antigen receptors to particularly target tumor cells. Despite the tall productivity in its gene-editing capability, trouble within the conveyance of the CRISPR/Cas9 framework remains a major bottleneck for its restorative applications, especially for NK cells.This review assesses a

Francois: What do you mean?
Dreyfus: When they were pulling out the goldfish, I remember thinking "Did Clouseau have any relatives in the states"?
Curse of the Pink Panther is a 1983 crime/comedy film and the eighth installment in The Pink Panther franchise, once again directed by Blake Edwards. This film is the first in the franchise not to star Peter Sellers as Inspector Jacques Clouseau, who had gone missing in the film prior to this one. Instead, the spotlight is given to up-and-coming actor Ted Wass (chosen from his role as Danny Dallas from TV sitcom Soap), who plays Detective Sergeant Clifton Sleigh, a bespeckled American police officer.
One year after Inspector Clouseau has disappeared, the President of France orders Dreyfus to program a supercomputer to select a new detective just like Clouseau (whom the world believes to be a Great Detective) to find him. Naturally, fearing that the new detective will indeed find Clouseau and ruin his life all over again, Dreyfus consults a criminal computer genius to help him sabotage the computer to instead select the worst detective it can find...
And he gets his wish.
The computer selects Detective Sergeant Clifton Sleigh, a haplessly-inept but well-meaning American cop from New York City who, as expected, is every bit as bungling as the man he's looking for!
This film provides examples of:
- Amusing Injuries:
- Just like Clouseau, Sleigh tends to get himself hurt in many comedic ways, such as falling into pools, surviving massive explosions, etc.
- Dreyfus also sustains a few of these, most notably being pushed backwards out his office window by Sleigh twice.
- And Starring: Ted Wass is given an "introducing" credit for his role of Sleigh during the opening titles.
- Animated Credits Opening: Just like the other films in the series, this film opens with these. They feature the Pink Panther character and the animated Clifton Sleigh getting into zany antics over a new synth-heavy rendition of the series' iconic theme.
- Badass Driver: The taxi driver manages to evade Bruno's goons and the Lugash Secret Police while driving upside down.
- Be Careful What You Wish For: Dreyfus's whole plan revolves around getting the world's second most inept detective to not find Clouseau, but he doesn't seem to realise that he'll be dealing with a 'new' Clouseau.
- Beware the Nice Ones: Juleta, usually a plucky and petite Brit, single-handedly takes out a gang of baddies and a martial artist for Sleigh's sake.
- Binocular Shot: The film uses several of these, such as when Bruno's cronies spy on Sleigh.
- Book Ends: The first film in the series is about the Littons trying to steal the Pink Panther diamond from the princess of Lugash, and although they come close to victory, they do not succeed. In Curse, it's revealed that the diamond has fallen into the hands Countess Chandra and her newfound lover, but at the end of the film, they find it missing from their safe with a white monogrammed glove in its place. The film concludes with the Littons sailing away into the sunset with the diamond in their grasp.
- The Bus Came Back:
- George Litton, nephew of Sir Charles, makes his first appearance since The Pink Panther.
- Mr. Chong from Revenge of the Pink Panther appears later on aiding Bruno and his goons in trying to kill Sleigh.
- Butt-Monkey and Iron Butt Monkey: Sleigh.
- The Cameo: Roger Moore portrays Inspector Clouseau after his Magic Plastic Surgery, billed as "Turk Thrust II", a continuation of a gag started by actor Bryan Forbes in A Shot in the Dark.
- Celebrity Resemblance: Inspector Clouseau's Magic Plastic Surgery makes him look inexplicably like Roger Moore, which Clifton falls for hook, line and sinker. He comments on the film he was set to star in, Octopussy, and even asks for his autograph once he finishes questioning him.
- Chuck Cunningham Syndrome: Clifton, Lutinenant Palmyra, Charlie, and Countess Chandra make their only series appearances in this film.
- Chute Sabotage: Dreyfus shoots a parasailing Sleigh out of the sky with a missile from a rocket launcher.
- Clickbait Gag: The trailer and poster for the film play up a scene where Sleigh takes to the skies in a parasail as a major part of the film, when in actuality the scene doesn't play much importance aside from landing him in Chandra's health spa.
- Clueless Detective: Sleigh, of course.
- Corpsing: In-Universe. Dreyfus, on live television, begins snickering to himself while reading Clouseau's expansive list of characteristics (Kung Fu, Okinawan Weaponry, Expert Marksman, Courageous, A Born Leader, etc.) to Aldous to the point that he could no longer continue reading them.
- Delayed Causality: Parodied with the implausible martial arts prowess of the Ninja Mr. Chong. He karate-chops a boulder to no apparent effect, then calmly walks away while first the boulder and then the entire building fall to pieces behind him.
- Did Not Get the Girl: Sleigh and Juleta never end up together.
- Double Entendre: Clifton's last name, Sleigh, is justifiably misinterpreted by a Spanish police chief who came to arrest him for his supposed assaulting of Juleta.Police Chief Vigila: Is that "Slay" as an "kill"?
Clifton: No! It's "Sleigh" as in "one horse open"! - Dropped Glasses: During his scuffle with Cato, Clifton accidentally loses his glasses, but gets them back when the fight is interrupted.
- Drum Roll, Please: Aldous requests a short drum roll before he reveals the detective selected to find Clouseau.
- Establishing Character Moment:
- We first see Sleigh disguised as a hooker in an attempt to catch a group of muggers in the act, only to get chatted up by a drunkard, roughed up by an actual hooker mistaking Sleigh for intruding on her turf, which in turn leads to a riot in the streets with him in the center of it all.
- It's quickly set up that Mr. Chong is not someone to fuck with, as he manages to split a bolder apart with a single blow. Oh, and it manages to collapse the dojo, too.
- Go Seduce My Archnemesis: While it's not outright mentioned, it's implied that Countess Chandra sent her perky blonde secretary, Julie Morgan (alias Juleta Shane), to seduce Clifton into having sex, and drink a glass of either laced or poisoned champagne. It nearly worked, too.
- Groin Attack: Juleta does this to one of the hitmen trying to kill Sleigh.
- History Repeats: Dreyfus and the mafia try desperately to kill Sleigh in the course of the film. And just like Clouseau, Sleigh has an incomprehensible luck that saves him from the attacks and still makes the villains get seriously injured in the process.
- Idiot Hero: Sleigh, despite his clumsy nature, is very determined to prove his worth by tracking down Clouseau.
- Leitmotif: As the expected-to-be new star of the series, Sleigh is given a new and slick theme that plays a few times throughout the film.
- A dramatic Jaws-esque motif accompanies the Mafia attacks.
- Like Father, Unlike Son: Sleigh's father and grandfather were both successful and competent policeman back in their day. Clifton himself? Not so much.
- Love Theme: A romantic reprise of Sleigh's theme plays during Juleta's attempted seduction of him.
- Missing Main Character: Inspector Clouseau. Well, at least until the end.
- Nerd Glasses: Sleigh wears a pair of these because he is Blind Without 'Em. Dreyfus' assistant, Francois, wears a less appealing pair.
- Never Trust a Trailer: The scene where Sleigh is seduced by Juleta in a hotel (as she croons "Don't blow it...") is immediately followed by a clip of Sleigh being blasted out of a window, making it both a Visual Pun and somewhat of a Gilligan Cut.
- Of Course I Smoke: When dressed as a hooker in his first scene, Clifton tries smoking to make the disguise appear more authentic, only to start coughing and hacking like mad. This happens again later when he tries smoking with his inflatable "Instant Companion" when trying to evade the Mafia.
- Rearrange the Song: Done with The Pink Panther Theme, per usual.
- The opening titles variant heavily utilizes synthesizers to align with the musical trends of The'80s. It also takes many melodic detours, including a synth solo rather than a saxophone solo, as well as a short insertion of Clifton Sleigh's theme. There was also an alternate version that went unused.
- The end credits variant is more or less a revamp of the disco-like arrangement made for Revenge of the Pink Panther, with a more thrilling tone and a ripping electric guitar solo.
- Running Gag: More than one character repeats the phrase "Never look a gift horse in the mouth" for whatever reason.
- Dreyfus falls backwards out of his office window twice, and another time, falls backwards into the sea in a wheelchair.
- A lens in Clifton's glasses pops out twice.
- Series Fauxnale: Despite being the penultimate film in the original franchise, there is a surprising amount of finality that ties in with past films in the series. Granted, this is because the plan afterwards was to continue centering the series around Clifton Sleigh in the U.S., and so this film set out to resolve all loose ends on the east side of the pond.
- Both banes of Dreyfus' existence, Clouseau and Sleigh, are now out of his life forever.
- Inspector Clouseau is finally declared dead, when in reality, he is still in hiding with his new-found lover, and joins her in a new life of crime.
- The Litton's finally bag the Pink Panther diamond.
- Sexy Shirt Switch: Juleta wears one of Clifton's pajama tops when she confronts him in his hotel room.
- Shout-Out: Sleigh's summer wear is undeniably similar to the Iconic Outfit of silent comedian Harold Lloyd.
- Something Else Also Rises: When Sleigh sits on a ducky inner tube, the duck's bulbous head juts out suggestively between his legs.
- Suspiciously Similar Substitute: Clifton is just as bumbling and clumsy as Clouseau, but does lack the latter's egotistical nature and confidence. This is justified In-Universe as Dreyfus deliberately selecting a detective just as dumb and hapless as Clouseau to fail in the search for him.
- Lieutenant Palmyra is also very similar to Dreyfus, having to deal with Sleigh's buffoonery in a similar manner. However, he's much less evil and more of a nervous, agitated wreck, able to tug out large clumps of his hair with ease and downing Pepto Bismol 24/7.
- The Nth Doctor: Roger Moore as Inspector Clouseau. This is because he got Magic Plastic Surgery.
- The Teetotaler: Clifton refers to himself as such (despite drinking a glass of beer earlier in the movie).
- Uncomfortable Elevator Moment: Happens twice.
- The first happens when Sleigh checks into a hotel and heads into the lift with the "Instant Companion" and the bellboy. The doll begins deflating again on the way up, so Sleigh dips down to her legs to inflate her. Of course, the bellboy thinks he's doing some rug-munching, so he's obviously quite anxious to leave.
- The second happens in Valencia in a much more crowded elevator. A rich old woman's dog lets one rip while in Bruno's arms, and she suspects him to have done it.
- Window Watcher: Dreyfus spies on Sleigh and Juleta with binoculars through Sleigh's hotel window.
- World Tour: On his search for Clouseau, Clifton travels from Paris, to the South of France, to Valencia, and Majorca. He also makes a stop in Madrid after this, but this is never seen.
- You Wouldn't Believe Me If I Told You: Sleigh to Juleta in the Spanish Cafe.Juleta: Is anything the matter?Clifton: Look, you're not gonna believe this, but some men are trying to kill me!Juleta: You're right.Clifton: I am?Juleta: I'm not gonna believe you.

Israel's Strength and Consolation Day 13
Open Your Bible
Exodus 15:1-3, Psalm 68:34-35, Luke 24:44-49, John 16:28-33, 2 Corinthians 12:6-10, Ephesians 6:10-18; Philippians 4:4-14
BY Bailey T. Hurley
During Advent, we sing songs like "Joy to the World" and "Silent Night" with jubilant and peaceful tones, the season ushering in "good tidings" to those of "good cheer." But there's real sadness all around us, maybe inside us too. Yet in the Christian faith, we are given permission to hold joy and suffering together and still rejoice. As we read through today's scriptures, John 16:33 helps us walk through the hard things while also celebrating and anticipating our deliverance in Jesus.
"I have told you these things so that in me you may have peace.
You will have suffering in this world.
Be courageous! I have conquered the world."
—John 16:33
Many Christians think that once they accept Jesus all their troubles will disappear. Yet Jesus is very clear that suffering is a part of the human experience. Maybe you feel like Paul, and you see your "thorn" as a way for God to humble you (2Corinthians 12:7). Or maybe your suffering has no explanation other than living in a fallen world. The same God who used Israel's suffering to reveal His great power gives purpose to even our most senseless hardship to reveal His power (v.9).
After the Israelites crossed the Red Sea, Moses praised God, singing, "The LORD is my strength and my song; he has become my salvation" (Exodus 15:2). How soon afterward did the Israelites find their circumstances too hard and begin to grumble against God? Pretty soon. We, too, quickly forget the power God has to deliver us. Unlike the Israelites' response to hardship, we can continue to trust God because "The God of Israel gives power and strength to his people" (Psalm 68:35).
Courage as a Christian may not look like someone having it all together. True courage is taking our weaknesses to God and allowing Him to be our strength (2Corinthians 12:10).
The God who defeated Egypt is the same God who defeated our great enemy. In sin, we were enslaved. But Jesus took the ultimate suffering, was raised on the third day, and the "forgiveness of sins will be proclaimed in his name to all the nations" (Luke 24:47).
Jesus has victory over all suffering. Trials are hard, but He knows what we need and provides enough for us to find hope each day as we wade through the difficult waters of life. Our strength and comfort are found in knowing the same God who delivered Israel is the same God who delivers us—He has done it, and He will do it again.

This is such a beautiful study, thank you Lord, I can feel you working through me❤
Kristen, thank you for sharing this perspective. What a powerful reminder that focusing on the honorable, the lovely, the pure, the just, the commendable, also means taking our focus off of the hurtful and the ugly. Praying for you today.
I offer my suffering to You, God. This is my offering.
First time mama here, w/ COVID. Trying to keep my thoughts on Him and trust Him. I love what you shared @Kristen it really resonated with me. I tend to ruminate on negative thoughts and they make the situation worse. Trying to turn to scripture
Jesus IS our strength and consolation! I am so grateful that I can rely on Him and not mankind…
Amen ❤
I heard a message on Philippians 4:8-9. The pastor said that this should be our litmus test for every thought. I heard this message after my husband's affair. I was obsessively thinking about it, and this led to more tears and problems. First, he said to ask is it true? Yes, it was true that this happened, but is honorable, lovely, or commendable? No! So I shouldn't be dwelling and replaying things I found out in my mind. I'm not saying to ignore it or not to seek Christian counseling. My counselor was a man from Africa. He told a tale that he knew from his country about a woman carrying around a dead body asking for help. After a while, the body was decaying and smelling. The villagers asked her why she kept doing this. She needed to stop. He said that I am doing the same thing! I needed to let go of those thoughts. I couldn't change what had happened and it wasn't helping me to heal or move on!
Finally brothers and sisters, whatever is true,ab whatever is honorable,ac whatever is just, whatever is pure,ae whatever is lovely, whatever is commendable—if there is any moral excellence and if there is anything praiseworthy—dwell on these things. 9 Do what you have learned and received and heard from me, and seen in me, and the God of peace will be with you.
God, please help us with our thought life. May we read Your Word and our minds be renewed by Your Spirit, power and mercy! Please heal our minds and let our thoughts, actions, and words be pleasing to You! Amen.

Man's hormone-dependent organ is the prostate.
The prostate is a hormone-dependent organ. Its growth is stimulated and its size and secretory function are maintained by the continued presence of serum testosterone at approximately eugonadal malelevels. Testosterone in the circulation is largely bound to proteins. Approximately 60% is bound to sex hormone-binding globulin (SHBG) and around 38% more loosely to albumin. Only 2–3% of circulating testosterone is unbound and diffuses into organs. Thereafter, it is subjected to a variety of steroid metabolic steps that regulate activity, and finally the inactivation of the steroid hormone. Over 95% of testosterone that enters the prostate is converted to 5α-dihydrotestosterone (DHT). DHT binds to the same hormone receptor as testosterone, but its biopotency is considerably higher.
Subscribe to official facebook page Canadian Pharmacy – try now.
There is an abundance of androgen receptors in the prostate, probably more than in any other tissue2. The result is that the prostate is capable of accumulating testosterone, and local concentrations of androgens are approximately ten times higher than in the circulation. In the adult prostate, androgens continuously play a role in the maintenance of the gland in the mature and differentiated state by homeostatic mechanisms that are androgen-dependent. Prostate size and plasma levels of prostate-specific antigen (PSA) are decreased in androgen-deficient men, and increase again with androgen replacement, but not significantly exceeding the size and PSA levels in age-matched controls.
In a recent study, Bhasin and colleagues6 showed that, in healthy (18–35 years old) men whose endogenous testosterone production was almost totally suppressed by administration of a luteinizing hormone-releasing hormone (LHRH) agonist, PSA levels could be restored to normal by administration of 25 mg testosterone weekly, resulting in plasma testosterone levels of 125 ng/dl (4.3 nmol/1), while the reference range of testosterone is in the order of 8–24 nmol/1. Higher doses of testosterone replacement had no additional effect on plasma PSA levels. Prostate volumes were not measured in this study. So, on the basis of androgen replacement studies and the study by Bhasin and colleagues6, there is reason to believe that there is no linear relationship between prostate volume and PSA levels on the one hand and plasma testosterone levels on the other.
In men chronically abusing anabolic-androgen steroids (body-builders), the total prostate volume was not larger whereas the central prostate volume was approximately 20% larger, compared with age-matched controls; PSA levels were not different between the two groups. Above a threshold value of plasma testosterone there seems to be no additional effect on PSA values, while only supraphysiological doses increase the central prostate volume but not the total prostate volume. In summary, the prostate is an exquisitely androgen-dependent organ, capable of accumulating testosterone through its high androgen receptor content and amplifying the action of testosterone through reduction to DHT. For treatment prostate cancer you can watch this Canadian HealthCare website.
Via these mechanisms the prostate is capable of maintaining its function with relatively low-to-normal peripheral testosterone levels, higher levels not adding substantially to its size or to PSA production. The following addresses the potential risks of administration of testosterone to androgendeficient aging men, in particular the risks for benign prostatic hyperplasia and lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS), and associated PSA levels, but first the rationale for androgen administration to a subgroup of aging men is discussed.
Lung Transplantation Exacerbates Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease
A high prevalence of gastroesophageal reflux (GER) has been reported in lung transplant recipients and is possibly linked to the development of bronchiolitis obliterans syndrome. The etiology of posttransplant GER remains unknown but may occur due to the transplant operation or posttransplant medications, or represent preexisting GER disease. We evaluated these possibilities by studying the nature and severity of GER in a cohort of patients before and after lung transplantation.
Total, upright, and supine acid contact times were recorded in lung transplant recipients who underwent 24-h pH studies before and after transplantation. Patients also underwent esophageal manometry and gastric-emptying studies. Medications for acid suppression and gastric motility were discontinued before testing. Paired comparison between pretransplant and posttransplant results was performed using a paired t test.
Twenty-three patients were included in the analysis. The mean age was 51.5 years, and native diseases included emphysema (n = 11), cystic fibrosis (n = 4), pulmonary fibrosis (n = 3), and others (n = 5). Posttransplant studies occurred a median of 100 days after transplantation. After lung transplantation, the total acid contact time increased a mean of 3.7% (p = 0.03) and the supine acid contact time increased a mean of 6.4% (p = 0.019). Thirty-five percent (8 of 23 patients) had abnormal acid contact times before transplant, and 65% (15 of 23 patients) had abnormal acid contact after transplant. Changes in acid contact times were not explained by changes in esophageal or gastric motility. Only 20% (3 of 15 patients) with abnormal posttransplant pH studies were symptomatic.
There is a significant increase in GER after lung transplantation, as measured objectively by 24-h pH studies, despite a lack of symptoms in most patients. Further research is needed to determine the physiologic mechanisms of posttransplant GER and its impact on long-term allograft function.
GI complications are common after lung trans-plantation. They have included gastroparesis, diverticulitis, and GI bleeding. We have observed a high prevalence of GER in selected lung transplant recipients. It has previously been suggested that GER is associated with bronchiolitis obliterans syn-drome. Most reports have focused on the prevalence of esophageal dysmotility and delayed gastric emptying, with inadvertent partial or total surgical vagotomy as the suspected mechanism.

EXTREMISMWhat Prevention and Treatment of Substance Dependence Can Tell Us About Addressing Violent Extremism
Hate, violence, and their co-occurrence—violent extremism—represent increasing threats to society. Experts say that in order to deal effectively with extremism, there is a need for new approaches and frameworks that go beyond the counterterrorism approach that has dominated the battle against global jihadism. They suggest is applying a public health model to understand and counter violent extremism. Specifically, research shows that there is a striking resemblance between attachment to violent extremism and addiction.
Editor's Note: RAND has just released an important examination of the similarities between substance dependence and violent extremism. Here are two sections from the study, the opening section and the Implications and Conclusions.
Hate, violence, and their co-occurrence—violent extremism—represent increasing threats to society. After decades of combating global jihadism, the United States increasingly is confronting domestic extremism, much of it from those identifying with far-right political movements. The prevalence and nature of this threat have prompted a focus on new approaches and frameworks that go beyond the counterterrorism approach that has dominated the battle against global jihadism.
One approach that has gained increasing attention is applying a public health model to understand and counter violent extremism and its downstream effects.(1) This approach seeks to understand the demographic, community, and psychological drivers of violent extremism to help drive prevention and intervention efforts. Many researchers have called for such an approach.(2)
In our 2021 research study, Violent Extremism in America: Interviews with Former Extremists and Their Families on Radicalization and Deradicalization,(3) we were struck by how many of the former extremists with whom we spoke felt drawn back to radical ideological thoughts and longed for reengagement with the movements that they left. This is despite their knowing that such thoughts and behaviors are harmful to themselves and others, and despite their wanting to separate themselves from their former activities and social attachments with radical extremist groups.
We were not the first to make this observation. In 2017, Simi and colleagues analyzed a data set of 89 former U.S. white supremacists and observed "lingering" white supremacist identity and ideology that persisted long after disengagement from extremist groups.(4) The researchers observed that this persistent identity and associated ideology can be described as an addiction and can be manifested in unwanted and situationally induced extremist thoughts, emotions, and physical reactions and, for some, can include relapse to extremist behavior.
As researchers who spent our graduate training studying substance use and other self-destructive behaviors (and who have since shifted our focus to studying extremism), we find merit in this hypothesis and see an uncanny parallel between hate and addiction. In our view, the parallels go beyond the return of unwanted thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. In this Perspective, we review evidence from psychology, neuroscience, sociology, and public health that suggests similarities between extremism and substance misuse.(5)

Follow-up Update: These changes have now been checked in. Please go to Tutorials for the latest. Many thanks for all the suggestions, both public and private.
Based on various public, private, and internal discussions, I've been quietly working on a possible update to the presentation of Tutorials. Due to various things that've happened, this has taken longer than I originally expected, however, I've finally completed my initial work and posted it to Tutorials.
Please review and offer any comments. While doing so, please keep the following in mind:
I wanted to streamline the HTML used to present the tutorials, as well as the organization of the specific tutorials.
There was a certain amount of interest in posting selected off-site and obliquely related tutorials. I've selected a few of the most common ones, but would appreciate additional node ID's and URL's.
While the version on my scratch pad contains the most recently approved Tutorials (via Consideration), I'm going through the list of perltutorial nodes for others that may have slipped through the cracks. I'll add these as I find them.
Update: My criteria for adding "forgotten" tutorials is pretty simple. If the node has a reasonably low Rep (~20) or discusses something I don't feel qualified to judge, I'll consider it using the normal process; otherwise, I'll assume that the community has already spoken and add it directly. Let me know if this is a bad idea.
I did try to verify all links and remove all typos, but I will admit that I may have missed something. If you find something that doesn't work properly, please /msg that to me directly and I'll fix it as soon as I can.
Should there be a seperate section (or perhaps a subsection under Network Programming) for CGI-related tutorials? I have mixed feelings on this and wonder what everyone else thinks.
This is still at the draft stage, which is why I didn't update Tutorials directly. Is this moving in the right direction? Is something missing, bone-headed, or what?
Update #2 I've now finished going through the "forgotten" perltutorial nodes. I've added the ones that were clearly worth adding (imho) and considered the ones I wasn't sure about. (BTW, anyone know the two letter language abbreviation for Lithuanian? If so, please /msg me.)
Update #2: Based on replies and /msgs, I've also gone ahead and added CGI as a section to Network Programming. It messes with the organization somewhat, but I think it may help. Let me know if it does, from the average monk's perspectively.
I plan to leave things on the pad for a about a week or so. Unless there's great resistance or major rework needed, I'll probably commit the work next weekend or thereabouts, depending on RL needs. (As noted earlier, this work has been checked in.)

About the piece
It's been a whirl wind ride travelling by the side of many the smartest of artist. I was whisked off my feet by the constant beat and treat from some of the most unique. I went from normal with my scrawl to giving my all and trying to peak turned into a freak. Eventually everything broke and I just felt weak. I couldn't sleep and felt depressed so along come to try add some fun my drum. I've done for the floor as much as I can score whilst my fingers are red raw. I work with my hands all day and then to type to make more sway the right way. The whacky race's is across a board that many when explored toppled off some may scoff but without community you won't discover more of what you can be. Some this is their destiny, they feel it in the flow they'll grow to oneday put on a show to glow. Many I do hope so.

Your home's interior and cleanliness can have a profound impact on your well-being. Most Americans spend 90% of their time indoors, and one-third live in polluted areas. Hence you must improve indoor air quality and remove toxic substances to make this space safer. Here are some ideas on how you can go about this:
- Purify the air
Indoor air pollution serves as a silent threat to your family's well-being. The air inside your house contains several allergens and pollutants. These toxins disrupt your sleep, harm your skin, and lead to respiratory issues. But there's one device to solve them all, i.e., air purifiers. A Blueair survey shows that Americans sleep better with air purifiers at home. This device removes most harmful allergens and makes the air inside your home healthier. Also, invest in a quality HVAC system.
- Beware of asbestos
Asbestos is still common in old buildings and homes. When asbestos microfibrils become airborne because of damaged insulation, tiles, and roofing material, they can be easily inhaled and cause respiratory problems such as asbestosis pleural mesothelioma. Mesothelioma is a rare cancer that manifests after decades of asbestos exposure. If you live in an old home that's falling apart, get it checked for asbestos and have it professionally removed. You should also have contact information for mesothelioma law firms in case you need to approach an asbestos trust fund and secure money for treatment.
- Add more greenery
Greenery has a calming effect on the mind and is also pleasant to look at. Hence grow some indoor plants to make your house healthier. Indoor plants can improve your mood and reduce anxiety. They also help remove formaldehyde, benzene, carbon monoxide, and other pollutants. Adding more greenery to the house helps increase the humidity levels to prevent getting dry skin and a sore throat. Try buying snake plants, spider plants, rubber plants, peace lilies, and monstera deliciosa.
- Declutter
Clutter is bad for your health and makes your house feel congested. It's time you throw away the stuff you no longer use; recycle, throw away, or donate your stuff. Rent a self-storage unit where you can keep stuff you don't use regularly but still need. Clear out your attic and basement to make more space for the things you actually need. Decluttering makes your space feel cleaner; it can eliminate dust and other allergens that accumulate on excess items.
- Avoid harmful chemicals
You might think that cleaning products make a house healthier, but that's not always the case. Regular chemical-based cleaning products contain toxic ingredients that can harm your health when fumes become airborne; hence you should avoid using them. Look for the following ingredients and avoid buying products that contain them:
- Parabens:- Disrupts thyroid function
- Phthalates:- Leads to behavioral changes
- Oxybenzone:- Causes irritation and allergies
- Formaldehyde:- It is a carcinogen and neurotoxin that also triggers asthma
- Triclosan & Triclocarban:- Disrupts hormone function
Instead of harmful cleaning products, use organic options. Take some vinegar and mix it with some lemon juice to make a harmless cleaning product. You can also switch to brands that sell plant-based cleaning products, like Ecover and Blueland. These products are good for the environment, contain fewer allergens, and don't irritate your eyes or skin.
- Allow sunlight to enter
Allow natural sunlight to illuminate the inside of your home. This helps uplift your mood and also helps with the production of Vitamin D. Studies show that sunlight exposure can stimulate the release of serotonin, the hormone associated with feelings of happiness. Moreover, you can improve the quality of your sleep since sunlight helps regulate your sleep cycle. It makes you overcome depression and is also good for preventing insomnia. So, don't draw the curtains during the day and let the sun's brightness make your home healthy.
- Clean the linen
Your deb sheets and pillows can absorb skin oils, drool, and sweat from your body. Also, dead skin cells, bacteria, fungi, and allergens cling to these items. These things stimulate different respiratory problems, which is why you need to wash the linen regularly. Wash your sheets every week to remove dust, germs, oil, and sweat.
Moreover, carpets can also accumulate a lot of dust and make your home unhealthy. Get them professionally cleaned when they become too dirty.
- Clean your pantry
Expired products can pile up in your pantry if you're a hoarder. Hoarding expired meals will only accumulate fungus and bacteria that will ruin indoor air quality and your food if you're not careful. Also, old food contains a lot of toxins that make you sick. It's important to keep a well-organized pantry to prevent illness in the house. Replace unhealthy items (as well as booze and junk food) with healthier alternatives.
After every major holiday, clean the fridge by discarding leftovers. Clean out the pantry once a month to reduce waste, purchase nutritious meals, and keep the pests away. Do not leave any crumbs for all those 'roaches hiding under the floors.
- Use scented candles
Like natural air purifiers, scented candles also improve indoor air quality and help you sleep better. Traditional candles are made of paraffin wax and release carcinogens into your home. So, it's a bad idea to keep using these. Instead, scented candles last longer, emit sweeter smells, and improve your mental well-being. Use soy-based candles to reduce stress and promote relaxation. These candles release some negative ions that neutralize pollutants and allergens. You won't find any soot deposits on household items after burning these candles or strange odors.
A healthy, well-maintained, and decluttered house will make your family happier and healthier. You just need to get an air purifier, add more greenery, allow more sunlight, and avoid chemical-based cleaning products. Clean your house regularly to exterminate mold, mildew, and asbestos. These pollutants cause many health conditions, so keep the indoor air quality cleaner and safer.
