Correlative Conjunctions in English

Correlative conjunctions are an essential part of English grammar, used to connect words, phrases, or clauses that have equal importance within a sentence. They always come in pairs, and their proper usage can significantly enhance the clarity and flow of your writing. In this blog post, we’ll explore the definition, usage, and examples of correlative conjunctions, along with practical tips to…

THE EFFECTS OF TRANSITS AND SOLAR RETURN CHART :🌟

Of courses I know that not everyone will relate to what is writen in this post.

Based on personal observations.

Reminder : I’m not a professional astrologer, what I said is only based on what I have learned and my research.

Transits in astrology is the time when planets move across your birth chart. These transits are important especially when they come into conjunction with personal planets (especially sun or moon) or personal points (ascendant-descendant). When they aspects these points you are more able to feel the effects. However, you can also feel the effects of transits, particularly for major transits (transits which concern planets like Saturn/Pluto/Neptune/Uranus and Jupiter that have a longer transit and spend more time in certain areas in your birth chart.

Solar return chart is an annual chart that start the time of your birthday and can predict your next twelves months.

Both have influence in your life and when you except a change in your life like meeting new peoples/friends, start a new daily routine, start exercising, loses friends, starting a love relationship, meet your possible partner, change career, separation, moving abroad etc … all of them can be influenced by transits and solar return chart. You can be able to see a correlation between your current life and the transits of the planets.

However it’s important to remember that theses transits (SR included) chart will brings somes changes in your life (any kind of changes) that can lead to important changes or important decisions making or even highlights possible outcomes/changes/events, so it’s important to not be overly defeatist. This is temporary. Another thing : if you see a placement in your chart with a specific reputation (good or bad -> especially bad), is important to take a step back (sometimes it can lead to meaningful improvement about yourself and your life).

Sometimes those transits just don’t have any similar effects as you can see in some observations posts. You should look into your personal experience and your own perspective.

Some observations :

💫Neptune transit your 1st house : you can be overly idealistic about the world around you. You can see the world though pink colored glasses and you may, sometimes and possibly, find yourself being disappointed in some things you are faced with. You can be more interested in occult, astrology and any things like that. You can have an over idealistic vision on life, about yourself and your relatives. It could be difficult to takes or accept your responsibility in this life and you can be detached towards the practical aspects of life. Otherwise: sometimes you can crave more times alone -> maybe you can experience loneliness and probably liking it.

💫Saturn transit 1st house : Can show change, you can change your diet, start a new workout routine (or start a sport). You can present yourself as a new person, you can be more mature and taking your responsibilities. Maybe during the 12th house transit you have developed fears/anxieties and you may have to work on them during this transit. It could show struggle too so for example : you may struggle to lose weight (if you want to). Struggle to keep your routine going or your goals. You might have more responsability or you can take more mature decision and be more "adult". Can show the start of a new cycle and you can leave old habits behind you or you may want to grow yourself to leave thoses habits. But it could be difficult to keep this new routine in your life and consistently. You seek improvement but you have difficulty to maintain it, it’s your challenge to keeping it.

💫Mars transit 1st house : During this transit you can be impatient, more agressive, you can be easily irritated. You can takes more actions/be actions-oriented. You can take things more personally. You can be more confident but sometimes the opposite can happen. Objects/things can be broken too. Physically (it’s pretty known but) you might have redness on your skins especially on the face and/or rash probably caused by the fact that you can be more sensitive to stress.

💫Uranus in 7th house in solar return chart : this can show a unexpected changes in your partnerships (not only romantic but platonic too). You may face a betrayal by a relative that led to this change. If mars is present in this house or influence this house though aspects, it can accentuate the chance that a betrayal could happen or this change could lead to conflits. Several scenario could happen but this is what i have see. Note : during the year where i had Uranus in 7th house i also had an scorpio rising -> during this year one of my close friend betrayed me => this betrayal lead to an transformation (scorpio rising).

💫Mercury in 10th house/conjunct mc ; Saturn in 10th/conjunct sun-mc ; Sun in 10th house in SR : theses placements can show a year where you need to work hard and a lot (especially with Saturn). With Mercury you can work for study and/or during this year you will focus a lot on study to be certificate (if there is one going). If Saturn is with Mercury in 10th house you may struggle to study or you will work really hard. But if Sun is present it may indicate that you will shine because of your work (not only for study) => you may get your certificate or pass your exam hands down (in case of study) or maybe you will get a promotion and if sun sit along with Saturn you will shine and be proud of you because you get what you’re working for by your hard work and discipline (saturn). It can be a year where you have a certificate and you need to put efforts to get this certificate. This is a possible scenario if sun-mercury-saturn are together. This can happen in working area too (not necessarily studying), but I just make the link between mercury->education)

💫Planets in 6th house in SR : when you have planets in this house you may want to take care of your health. Maybe you will have an awareness about your health => you may change your routine in a more healthy way. Sometimes it can become an obsession (especially with Pluto or if you have a stellium). In a lot of case you will focus a lot on your health. With mars you can give a lot of energy to your health. With venus you will think that this would allow you to be more attractive or you may want to be more attractive and be the best version of yourself. It can show a glow up. In another way, you can feel more anxious about your health and possibly this is because of your anxiety that you take care of your health. You might realise how important it is to taking care of your health. In general you can be more anxious in your daily life and if you have Pluto you may have transformations (in your routine etc..) “that can” make you worried if you don’t maintain it.

💫Moon in 1st house in solar return chart : It could be easy to you to put boundaries and respect your emotional needs. You may want to recharge yourself a lot and It could be easy to refuse some interactions because you feel It could draining you. You might be able to stop making things that make you feel bad and stop doing things that you don’t really like. Maybe more easily exhausted during this year.

💫Jupiter in 9th house in solar return chart : you could have a big desire to pursue your studies abroad, probably you’re seeking adventure and new experiences and you might be tired of your routine. You can looking at your life in a different way and wanting something different and more exciting. Also you can seeking something that speaks to you in a “soul level” your likely to wanting something that give a sense to your life and that is connected with how you are and how you feel. You can be inclined to working at knowing what you really want in your life and finding yourself. You may doing well at your studies.

-> The year when I had moon and pluto in the 8th house of my solar return chart I got a crazy obsession towards my crush.

💫When some people said that Libra rising in your solar return chart could make you glow up is true!! When I had Libra rising in my src I was really invested at improving my style and external aspects of my appearance. I was more coquettish and wanted to feel better in my own body. I improved my style during this year. (I developed an obsession towards pink tinted lip balm).

[an-imaginary-person6]

I am making another post for Philip cause that shit was too long. Let’s get somethings out the way, first I use Hellenistic astrology as my main point of analysis. Secondly I am not a professional do not take my word as gospel. Please do your own research. Now let’s get into it.

If the time for his birth is correct he is a Sagittarius rising with his chart being a night chare

Sagittarius risings get many of their meanings from its Jupiter. And Jupiter is an abundant planet with many significations of being wise, abundant person, and a bit unconventional. Mercury is in detriment here (oh look at that another opposite shit) so he does not communicate conventionally.

In a night chart though it has less of an effect as Jupiter is a diurnal planet ( a planet that find its domicile above the ascendant-descendant line) so this planet is much more neutral in a chart.

Though I would say Jupiter is more positive in his chart than neutral. This is due to it being in its other domicile Pisces (yes I am using traditional rulers so Jupiter rules Pisces and Sagittarius). And it is below the ascendent- descendant line which it prefers to be in a night chart.

So it can exercise many more of it’s positive connotation rather than the shadow connotation which can be greed and selfishness.

As he is benefic ruled with a Jupiter in domicile in Pisces he can have also characteristics of Pisces: its dreaminess and floating nature. The power of imagination and creation exist in this nocturnal sign. And I think that describes Phil quite well.

Even in the early days of his career, he was very far above a lot of people, in terms of his imagination and his strangeness. And he carries quite a jovial nature. He is quite a smiley person. And if you know Jupiter by Holst then you know another very defining trait of Jupiter: it’s joy.

Jupiter is a very positive planet. It maintains optimism and says yes to things. It is a big planet that contains a lot of imagination. It holds the outer ring of the solar system in place.

Jupiter is able to hold things.

And as Jupiter is in his fourth house of family and home matters. It makes sense why and how he maintains these things. He was born into fortunate matters when it came to this.

He is just a naturally lucky person and makes things around him better. He is a generous person as well with the time and energy he gives to his friend and his partners.

Also makes that he’s a homebody as Jupiter likes that place as well. And it also means that he is a bit more introverted.

Mainly I would say Phil is a very bright person with a jovial and imaginative personality. He is a light.

Now other shit about his chart I find interesting:

I want to say I do find it very interesting the fact they contrast between the day and night chart for Dan and Phil. I think in that way they can end up balancing each other out.

Synastry is hard usually because not all positive aspects can mean a good relationship. Like my roommate and I share a Venus-Sun conjunction and yeah that makes shit easier, but there’s still other stuff at play.

However I do find it interesting that the moon (planet Dan is ruled by) in Phil’s chart is in its planetary joy. Joys are a bit confusing but think of it as like being in a friend’s home, sometimes friends to quarrel but it’s still a home to you.

What I think (keyword I think cause again let me reiterate I am not a professional this is a hobby) this means that Phil is very easily able to make space for Dan. Why is Dan different around Phil than his other friends, is because the joy of this moon correlates with the twelfth house moon and balances each other out.

These things trine and are blessed by Jupiter so I think they are able to make each other feel at home and comfortable to exist.

Outside of Synastry, Mars is also in domicile in Aires in Phil’s chart, in his fifth house. This means in terms of creativity and passion, Mars is able to do his shit here. It’s also less malefic in a night chart and with the domicile I think it can end taking a bit more of a positive role than not.

Venus Saturn conjunction here. It’s interesting that Venus is his most positive planet and Saturn is his least positive planet.

The first house rules appearance: so putting it bluntly, Phil is attractive. He takes on very Venusian meanings. When guy posted that picture of himself with the wolf eyes and folks were losing their minds. Yeah, that’s that Venus in the first house for you.

It also means for partners- as Venus can also represent that- that the person Phil spends the rest of his time with (Dan probably) is trustworthy and reliable as a partner. And that they will likely have frequent and satisfying sex.

As well with Phil’s standard of living/quality of life improved when his partner (again probably Dan if it isn’t I am surprised) came into his.

Being so for real with y’all whether they are fucking or not Dan is Phil’s life partner so I will assign these Venus matters to him.( I am going to refer to a very specific astrologer for this 0degreesTaurus or Ivy Underwood is someone I get some of the astrology I use here from. You can finder her on tiktok, YouTube, and Instagram I think

Y’all remember Phil’s mantra all pleasure now, that’s also very Venusian of him. Phil is also probably a little bit of a physical person in terms of touch (whether that is how likes to receive or give love). Though that is so general so take it with a few grains of salt.

Take this whole thing with a fucking jar of salt.

Saturn in the first house of body is not the most positive thing in a night chart. Saturn signifies a lot of stuff but mainly Saturn is a boundary. It’s the last visible planet and very dim.

It can represent time, old age, and boundary keeping. For Phil, I think this partially why as he got older he encountered more health scares that are scary and make people genuinely anxious.

However then there’s that lucky disposition to balance it all out.

Phil has had one Saturn return and 3 Jupiter returns at his big age of 38 (which is still young guys; 38 is still a young age).

First I want to say while Dan is more conventionally popular than Phil. Dan has a cancer rising and is naturally really good at theatrics and being conventionally popular (on the internet not in his early real life). Plus Mercury is in domicile in his chart so it’s also better able to communicate in an understanding.

Tl;dr he can express his artistry in more conventional ways than Phil.

While Phil is popular (nearly 4 million subscribers is popular), it probably not be in the way that Dan is.

Phil is an unconventional genius with a type of artistry like no other. And with that his ideas are not understood in the most conventional way as he does not communicate in that way.

It makes sense that this Cancer Rising with Gemini Mercury conjunction with his Moon that Dan can understand this beautiful genius.

And that he can read into Phil like no other. As in when the mans says something weird of course the communicative and understanding man goes, ‘wtf’ or ‘huh’.

Mercury in Aquarius is not bad, but in his chart it concerns more of his friends understanding of him than the world.

Additionally, it also means that this man’s strange ass internet sayings like ladydoor have become so popular with Virgo ruling the 10th house of career. He communicates very strange (funny) things.

They oppose each other really well is all I can say, and balance out each other quite well.

That’s mainly it for Phil and his gorgeous chart (I am slightly jealous he is a well placed positive man). But it’s only the fun type of jealous where it’s just like I wonder what it would be in my circumstances.

The Future of Astrology in 2025: A Modern Renaissance

Astrology, one of the oldest professions of humanity which relied almost entirely on the movement play of the celestial bodies for observation, has drawn attention through the ages. The year in which astrology seems to get revived from the ancient traditional wisdom in conjunction with modern technology is 2025-it actually promises more potent insights into human experiences. This blog explores some such dimensions within which is likely to evolve in the coming age of the digital technology-integration with artificial intelligence (AI), a place for mental wellness, and the ethical framework that will shape the future of astrology.

Astrology in the Digital Era: A Paradigm Shift

Astrology has gone from being a niche profession to a global trend that caters to millions, thanks to the digitization. Here are some technological advancements that have affected astrology:

1. AI Revolution in Astrology

Artificial Intelligence in astrology has brought serious changes with a focus on accuracy and highly personalized predictions. AI algorithms assess vast datasets of planetary movements, natal charts, and historical patterns to provide accurate insights to each user. For example:

-AI apps like Co–Star and The Pattern give information on the transits and compatibility reports based on the natal chart in real time.

-Machine learning identifies predictive possibilities of astrology by identifying patterns that human astrologers might miss; for example, repetitive planetary alignments with major life events.

2. The Use of VR in Astrology

Envision walking into your 3D birth chart, then walking amongst planets to visually understand their aspects; this is what VR brings to the table with such immersive experiences, granting the astrological world a tangible existence to those interactive tools, thereby enhancing the appeal of the practice for users looking for an elaborate engagement with their cosmic blueprint.

3. Accessibility Through Online Platforms

Astrology apps have largely democratized the astrology realm, removing barriers that stop people from practicing it unless they were considered experts. Also, this mobile technology brings daily horoscopes, compatibility analyses, and AI-driven tarot readings to hundreds of millions of people already living with astrology.

Merging Astrology with Wellness: The Holistic Approach

Astrology has now gone into the realm of wellness to contribute to many aspects of mental and emotional health rather than prophesying events. Here are some instances:

1. Astrology and Mental Health

From the year 2025 onward, some therapists will include astrology in their practice to better understand their clients’ emotional tendencies and struggles. For example:

-Natal charts become valuable resources to identify personality traits and potential stressors.

-Astrological transits support clients’ preparation in times of emotional turmoil or growth.

Due to their correlation to astrological guidance, therapy in this way allows for a more rounded perception of personal inward understanding.

2. Astrology-Based Nutrition and Fitness

Wellness consultants are using astrological insights to determine individual diets and exercise plans. For example:

-A person with a strong influence from Mars would benefit from a high-energy workout like martial arts.

-A person affected by Venus would do well with either yoga or Pilates to bring about balance and harmony.

Working in tandem with special reference to celestial energies will align physical wellness for a wholesome approach to well-being.

Major Planetary Shifts in 2025: Cosmic Influences

Horoscopes have been saying for some time that 2025 will bring major planetary shifts that will profoundly alter both individual lives and collective consciousness:

1. Neptune in Aries:

Neptune’s invasion into Aries heralds a new epoch defined by bold creativity and spiritual awakening. The pathway here stimulates individuals to embrace an outward appearance of authenticity while nurturing common compassion among all. Twelve-year cycles of transformative power, usually in association with the aforementioned signs, will give much-needed energy to the birthing and nurturing of creative ideas for solutions to global challenges .

2. Uranus in Gemini:

Uranus reaches Gemini after an 84-year series of patient adjustments, forever changing communication, technology, and the intellectual realms of human endeavor. The importance of transit is in flexibility; navigating change is imperative on all fronts- in order to respond convincingly to outdated psychic technologies of communication and connectivity.

3. North Node in Pisces:

Already in motion for the principle of healing through empathy and spiritual exploration, the North Node’s journey in Pisces begs the question on whether humanity can rise above the material concerns of the world and focus on its emotional fulfillment as a collective, thus changing course, promoting compassion, and embarking on a union with one another.

Emerging Trends in Astrology

Astrology is ever evolving and currently embracing innovative ways that allow it to connect well with the contemporary.

1. Evolutionary Astrology

This branch will explore the soul’s growth through many lives. It shall reveal karma so that individuals may get insight and go in line with their higher self. Evolutionary astrology places the emphasis on real spiritual growth rather than prediction. Consider today’s fast-paced world to be a compelling impetus.

2. Quantum Astrology

Quantum astrology interprets astrology in terms of quantum-physics principles and postulates that one’s consciousness influences the energies of the planets. Much work is yet to be done in the realm of speculative science to consider the thought; however, this is an open gateway of brilliant new possibility in terms of understanding the cosmic adventure from a different perspective.

3. Hybrid Systems

Western zodiac readings are now linked with Indian Dasha or Chinese animal zodiac divisions in order to offer clients a more complete cosmic insight regarding themselves.

Ethical Aspects in Modern Astrology

With the advent of astrology becoming widely acceptable, ethical concerns come into the forefront:

– Pragmatic usage of predictive methods without letting anxiety arise is needed from astrologers.

– Ethical behavior is necessary when applying astrology to areas that involve wellness or enterprise.

– To this end, education programs are already in place to give birth to astrologers with well-rounded appreciation of both classical methods and modern innovations.

Astrology’s Attraction to the Young

Astrology has found a well-groomed modern audience in the likes of Millennials and Gen Z:

– More than 50% believe in their daily use of astrology for decision-making.

– Quite a number consider astrology as an outlet of therapy through which they are able to manage their stress and anguish.

– Fun compatibility analyses are a guide to navigate the tricky issue of relationships.

This generational shift reflects a more extensive trend where sheer intellect finds beauty in celestial intuition.

In Summary

Astrological practices of this 2025 may let the springing of an old tradition from a well-filtered source of innovation. AI-driven astrology could lead to astrology in VR, where inclusion currently embraces wellness for the projected fun-filled experiences as the cosmic applause resonates further with humanity.

If you would like to go beyond that intuitive insight-search on life questions or maybe voyage for an innovative approach, instead of universal changes as well. Astrology provides the age-old guidance to quench our thirst regarding the light of life. The stars are not faraway watchers; they are participants as our journey checks its march through timeless epochs even now.

Betty Neuman Model of Nursing treats the client as an open system which is constantly reacting to the stressors in the environment along the lines of specific variables such as the physiological psychological, sociocultural, developmental and spiritual (Gonzalo, 2011). In this case, Stephanie's literature review on the study conducted by Siegel and colleagues to examine the impact on a low-carb diet on obese children really did not connect strongly to the Neuman model. This study just looked at diet as a single aspect of health and how this connected to weight and cholesterol levels. This is a flimsy connection to Neuman's model, as the Neuman model treats the body as a far more complex system, impacted by a range of factors. Likewise, the Lowry literature review only examined how two more factors (diet and exercise) impacted the BMI of adolescents. This study was slightly more comprehensive and thus had a slightly higher connection to the Neuman system model. This is because this study looked at more of the stressors and factors which have an impact on the health and wellness of the individual's body. For example, the questionnaire used in this study was harnessed to assess the exact parts of the person's eating habits, physical activity, genetic factors, and the amount of time spent staring at a screen -- be it a computer or television. This allows for a higher correlation with the Neuman system models which looks at all the stressors, be them intra-, inter- and extrapersonal in nature. On the other hand, the Val Boyd literature review focused on a different study conducted by Siegel and associates, which sought to assess if there was any connection with a low glycemic index diet in overweight and obese children in conjunction with the "Traffic Light" approach with an LGD in children. Thus study was also slightly higher in correlation to the Neuman model. Siegel and colleagues in this case looked a more complex intermingling of factors that could have an impact on the child's weight. Remarkably, the study also looks at the impact that a melee of health care providers can have on this issue, such as using general practitioners together with dieticians. The Vonny literature review looked at a study conducted by Barkan and colleagues and it was this study which really most strongly communed with the Neuman model. This is because the study not only looked at a more complex arena of stressors and factors (diet, exercise, BMI), but also sought to determine how those stressors impacted weight management programs over time. Thus, unlike other studies, this study had a clear and present factor of time which was used as both a consideration and a stressor. The intervention used in this study was more multi-faceted, which helped to commune more strongly with the Neuman model. This intervention took into consideration stressors and influences like educational lectures, weekly meetings with nutritionists, educational handouts, supervised exercise and activity sessions and other instructions. This study was able to thus connect with the more multi-faceted approach towards health and wellness that Neuman takes. However, all four literature reviews generally ignored a main aspect of the Neuman model, which was that Neuman has a strong focus on prevention: "Nursing interventions occur through three prevention modalities. Primary prevention occurs before the stressor invades the system; secondary prevention occurs after the system has reacted to an invading stressor; and tertiary prevention occurs after the system has reacted to an invading stressor; and tertiary prevention occurs after secondary prevention as reconstitution is being established" (Gonzalo, 2011). In this case, the bulk of the studies lacked a preventative approach when it came to influencing and reducing obesity. References Gonzalo, A. (2011). The Neuman Systems Model.

Mastering Conjunctions The Ultimate Guide to Improvement

Conjunctions are the unsung heroes of the English language. These small but mighty words play a crucial role in connecting ideas and structuring sentences. Whether you’re a native speaker or learning English as a second language, mastering conjunctions is essential for effective communication and writing. In this comprehensive guide, we will delve deep into the world of conjunctions, exploring their types, functions, and how to use them effectively. By the end of this journey, you will have a solid grasp of conjunctions and the confidence to wield them with finesse.

Chapter 1: Understanding Conjunctions

To begin our journey towards mastering conjunctions, we must first understand what they are. Conjunctions are words used to connect words, phrases, or clauses in a sentence. They serve as the glue that holds the various parts of a sentence together, enabling us to express complex ideas and relationships between them.

There are three primary types of conjunctions:

Coordinating Conjunctions: These are the most common type of conjunctions and include words like “and,” “but,” “or,” “nor,” “for,” “so,” and “yet.” They are used to join words, phrases, or independent clauses of equal importance.Example: I like coffee, and she prefers tea.

Subordinating Conjunctions: These conjunctions introduce dependent clauses, which cannot stand alone as complete sentences. They establish a relationship of dependence between the clause they introduce and the rest of the sentence.Example: Because it was raining, we stayed indoors.

Correlative Conjunctions: These conjunctions always appear in pairs and work together to connect words or phrases of equal weight.Example: Either you must work hard, or you will fail.

Understanding the different types of conjunctions is the first step towards using them effectively in your writing. Let’s move on to explore their functions in more detail.

Chapter 2: Functions of Conjunctions

Conjunctions serve various functions in a sentence, depending on their type and placement. Here are some key functions:

Joining Words and Phrases: Coordinating conjunctions are often used to connect words or phrases of the same grammatical rank.Example: He likes to hike, swim, and camp in the wilderness.

Combining Clauses: Coordinating conjunctions also connect independent clauses to form compound sentences.Example: She wanted to go to the beach, but it started raining.

Showing Cause and Effect: Subordinating conjunctions like “because,” “since,” and “so” establish a cause-and-effect relationship between clauses.Example: Since it was a holiday, we decided to go on a road trip.

Expressing Time: Subordinating conjunctions such as “when,” “while,” and “after” are used to indicate the timing of actions.Example: He always calls me when he arrives home.

Providing Alternatives: Correlative conjunctions like “either…or” and “neither…nor” offer choices or alternatives.Example: You can either have pizza, or you can have pasta.

Understanding the functions of conjunctions is crucial for using them effectively in your writing. But how can you improve your conjunction usage? Let’s explore some strategies in the next chapter.

Chapter 3: Improving Your Conjunction Usage

Improving your conjunction usage requires practice and attention to detail. Here are some strategies to help you master conjunctions:

Read Widely: Reading books, articles, and essays exposes you to a variety of sentence structures and conjunction usage. Pay attention to how skilled writers employ conjunctions to connect ideas and create flow in their writing.

Write Regularly: Practice writing sentences and paragraphs that incorporate different types of conjunctions. Experiment with conjunctions to understand their nuances.

Grammar Resources: Invest in a good grammar book or use online resources that focus on conjunctions. These tools often provide explanations, examples, and exercises to reinforce your understanding.

Peer Review: Share your writing with peers or join a writing group. Receiving feedback on your conjunction usage can help you identify areas for improvement.

Edit and Revise: During the editing process, specifically review your use of conjunctions. Are there opportunities to make your writing clearer or more concise by adding or removing conjunctions?

Vocabulary Expansion: Expanding your vocabulary can also enhance your conjunction usage. Knowing synonyms and antonyms for common conjunctions can add depth to your writing.

Sentence Variety: Aim for sentence variety by using different types of conjunctions. This will make your writing more engaging and dynamic.

Chapter 4: Common Conjunction Pitfalls

Even experienced writers can fall into common conjunction traps. Let’s explore some of these pitfalls and how to avoid them:

Comma Splices: This error occurs when two independent clauses are joined by a comma without a coordinating conjunction. To fix it, either add a coordinating conjunction or use a semicolon.Incorrect: She wanted to go shopping, he wanted to stay home.Correct: She wanted to go shopping, but he wanted to stay home.

Fused Sentences: A fused sentence combines two independent clauses without any punctuation or conjunction. To correct it, add a coordinating conjunction or use a semicolon.Incorrect: They went to the beach she forgot her sunscreen.Correct: They went to the beach, and she forgot her sunscreen.

Overusing “And”: While “and” is a versatile conjunction, using it excessively can make your writing repetitive. Try using other coordinating conjunctions or rephrasing sentences for variety.Overused: She likes to hike, swim, and camp.Varied: She likes to hike, swim, and occasionally camp.

Misplacing Modifiers: Be cautious with the placement of subordinating conjunctions. Misplacing them can lead to confusion or alter the intended meaning of a sentence.Ambiguous: Before I put on my shoes, I tie my shoelaces.Clarified: I tie my shoelaces before I put on my shoes.

Using Inappropriate Conjunctions: Each conjunction has a specific function. Using the wrong type can lead to grammatical errors or awkward sentences.Incorrect: He eats ice cream because he’s allergic to it.Correct: He doesn’t eat ice cream because he’s allergic to it.

By being aware of these common pitfalls, you can elevate the quality of your writing and avoid grammatical errors related to conjunctions.

Chapter 5: Conjunctions in Creative Writing

Conjunctions play a vital role in creative writing, enabling authors to craft vivid and engaging narratives. Here are some ways in which conjunctions enhance creative writing:

Building Suspense: Subordinating conjunctions can be used to create suspense by delaying important information until later in the sentence.Example: As the clock struck midnight, the secret was revealed.

Conveying Relationships: Conjunctions help convey complex relationships between characters, events, or ideas.Example: She loved him, yet she couldn’t trust him.

Changing Pace: By varying the use of conjunctions, writers can control the pacing of their narrative. Using fewer conjunctions can speed up the narrative, while more conjunctions can slow it down.Example (Fast Pace): He ran, jumped, and reached the finish line.Example (Slow Pace): He ran, jumped, but it seemed the finish line was moving farther away.

Dialogue Realism: In dialogue, conjunctions are essential for conveying natural speech patterns and character personalities.Example: “I don’t know, but I’ll figure it out,” she said with determination.

In creative writing, conjunctions are your tools for shaping the flow, tone, and rhythm of your story. Use them wisely to captivate your readers.

Neural Correlates Of Finger Gnosis

Empirical observations indicated that individuals with LHD would often initiate the movement with the instructed posture, however with slower actions and/or hesitation in the choice of optimal grasp. Third, we did not perform a complete cognitive examination of visual notion and executive perform that could be important in greedy actions as tested here. We had restricted cognitive testing for our small sample, which limits the interpretation and generalizability of our preliminary findings.

He addresses her with the traditional Bengali term of endearment ‘Bouma’ (a conjunction of daughter-in-law +mother) implying that the role of a mom is supreme for feminine figures. He makes peace with Aarti’s final choice by observing silence as an act of opposition foremost directed towards his son who he feels has fallen short of fulfilling his responsibilities and it will get worse when the person loses his job. It is for exactly this reason that the harmonium and related keyed instruments like the piano are eschewed in Indian classical music (barring a handful of exceptions). With a lot focus on melody and ornamentation as an alternative of harmony, multiple simultaneous keypresses are incongruous in Indian classical music, and the piano is unable to do any trill, glissando, or equal gamaka that the violin, flute, or even the mandolin can. Electronic keyboards are somewhat less frowned upon, as a result of the synthesiser can approximate gamakas. Each chapter presents German, European, and American scholarship and situates an evaluation of the Gospel of Thomas inside the previous and present tendencies of the literature.

Three electromagnetic markers were secured to the radial styloid and dorsal surface of the distal phalanges of the thumb and index fingers of the examined hand. If the same precept was applicable to higher-level representations, we might count on activation in left a-mIPL and PCN (i.e., the only ROIs whose exercise varies parametrically with homology) to be more loosely associated to behavioral efficiency than activation in PMCs. Moreover, a series of paired-samples t exams was performed for the Delay situation on the β weights (averaged across all Homology levels) of the two ROIs with parametric response to Homology against the entire other ROIs (Table 8).

The dowel, positioned at 75% of the participant’s maximum arm attain, was centered to align with the participant’s acromion course of. A goal gap was centered in front of the equipment at about 50% of the participant’s most attain. A taped line, positioned at 25% of the participant’s most attain, designated the beginning position of the examined hand.

Percentage of optimal posture trials was calculated for the external focus condition as the variety of trials (for each overhand and underhand trial conditions) executed with optimum posture divided by whole trials multiplied by a hundred. For each trial, we marked the body number by which the display screen no longer impeded the participant’s eye line (i.e., the dowel was within view) and the next frame number by which the participant’s hand initiated the reaching movement. Reaction time was calculated because the distinction between the 2 marked frame numbers divided by the body fee (59.94 frames per second). We then investigated whether or not hemodynamic response within the IIBT-related ROIs various as a perform of Homology and of the time occurring between the two stimulations (i.e., delay) in every ROI. More precisely, we assessed whether or not the BOLD response, as captured by β estimates for z-transformed voxel time course, decreased as a perform of Homology as this would point out that solely higher-level (as against major sensory) information about finger gnosis handed through that ROI throughout IIBT. This pattern was anticipated to appear exclusively within the No Delay condition, the place members could carry out the IIBT for Total Homology trials without accessing a higher-level illustration of physique construction (i.e., with out counting on finger gnosis).

To that end, we analyzed the exterior focus condition separately to determine if sufferers demonstrated planning deficits in a classic ESC experiment. We used a four group (CON-R, CON-L, RHD, LHD) X 2 optimum grasp posture (overhand, underhand) repeated measures ANOVA with group because the between-subjects issue and the optimal grasp condition as the repeated measures issue to evaluate for group variations in efficiency with external focus instruction. Another rationalization for the detrimental effects of internal focus instruction may relate to impairments in particular cognitive processes which might be implemented by the left hemisphere.

Then, by literally taking the first step out of the edge of her home and gaining personal and monetary satisfaction by way of work as a gross sales consultant in a private firm, she realizes what individuality is all about. Finally, by maintaining a friendship with Edith (Vicky Redwood), the sole Anglo-Indian counterpart within the agency, she breaks barriers of cultural expectations to recommend that variety isn't in your face and is informed by commonplace, everyday human interaction. Her transition right into a assured lady who progressively progresses in her line of duty makes for a variety of the most engrossing and entertaining passages as she visits tony areas of Calcutta to current her sales pitch.

In line with our review of the literature, we hypothesized internal focus instruction will preferentially impair planning and efficiency of the optimum initial grasp during a two-step useful task in sufferers with LHD. This is the primary study to show that use of inner focus instruction may drawback performance of initial actions in multi-step tasks in stroke survivors with LHD. From a theoretical perspective, this examine supplies initial help for a left-lateralized system for motor planning and motor performance gnosisjournal.com with use of inside focus instruction. These findings have crucial implications for the way instructions may be individualized throughout arm rehabilitation to enhance motor efficiency after stroke. Our findings recommend that in comparison with inner focus, exterior focus instruction may better assist motor efficiency in stroke survivors with LHD. We additionally determine putative cognitive processes and brain areas that could be necessary to implement internal focus instruction.

Provides help providers for victims and their family members and close associates all through the judicial process. According to the individuals’ needs, they could additionally provide help via health services, group support meetings and referrals to different organizations. The Graduate Philosophy Students’ Association expresses our help for the victims of those incidents and all sexual violence.

Gnosis, broadly understood each in scholarship and to some extent in well-liked culture, refers to information understood as the transcendence of self/other dualism. Authors mentioned embody Edward Conze, Theodore Roszak, Carl Jung, Andrew Newberg, April DeConick, Peter Carroll, Andrieh Vitimus, Ken Wilber, and Christopher Bache. Check all that apply - Please observe that solely the first web page is on the market if you have not chosen a reading choice after clicking "Read Article". I even have attached a small part of the evaluation where I comment on the positive options of the e-book. Gnosis was an American journal published from 1985 to 1999 dedicated to the study of Western esotericism.

the schrodinger's sect thing you bring up is really interesting, because imo it's the result of the jiang cheng haters trying to simultaneously two separate and often contradictory systems of values to roast jiang cheng.

western culture, at least, tends to follow at least these two separate systems of values:

the system of values that centers compassion, kindness, humility, and caring; ie. values typically associated with christianity.

the system of values that centers strength, accomplishment, independence, pride, and nobility; ie. values typically associated with ancient rome.

(nietzsche goes off to kind of an insane end about these, but this really isn't the place to discuss master and slave morality.)

now, these two systems of values are different. there are a lot of situations in which they can overlap and/or in which having virtues from one system will also bring you virtues from the other system, but there are just as many cases where traits one system classifies as virtues are instead classified by the other system as vices - cases where it is impossible to be "virtuous" under both systems.

and from what i've seen, jiang cheng haters often end up saying seemingly contradictory things because they simultaneously employ both systems of values to roast jiang cheng - even when it makes little sense to do so because, as stated above, these are two different systems of values that do not always align.

some common jiang cheng fandom roasts, categorized by me:

"jiang cheng is selfish," "jiang cheng only cares about his own reputation," "jiang cheng doesn't understand reciprocity or the concept of repaying debts," "jiang cheng is spiteful and hateful and unfair," "jiang cheng could have easily had yunmeng jiang help the wen remnants, he just didn't want to because he's a hater," etc.

"no one respects jiang cheng (and he deserves it)," "jiang cheng didn't accomplish anything," "wei wuxian's golden core was 80 years more advanced than jiang cheng's," "yunmeng jiang's success is due to wei wuxian, not jiang cheng," "jiang cheng is an inferior/mid-tier cultivator at best," etc.

a pattern emerges: jiang cheng is #Evil and his #Evil has the capacity to hurt others (ie. wei wuxian, no one else matters lol); therefore, jiang cheng must be at least somewhat capable of materializing his decisions into reality. however, wei wuxian is also supposed to The Best There Ever Was and the fandom's specialest little boy, so jiang cheng also cannot be more competent than wei wuxian. in fact, the more incompetent he is, the better, because incompetent people are Easy To Roast and the real purpose of this exercise is to bash jiang cheng. jiang cheng has to be evil so we can bash his moral character, but not so evil that wei wuxian caring about him and protecting him starts to cast shade upon wei wuxian's moral character. jiang cheng has to be incompetent so we can bash his failures, but not so incompetent such that he becomes unable to effectively act on his evil.

now, let's look at how these claims might contradict each other.

consider the claim "no one respects jiang cheng (and he deserves it)" in conjunction with the claim "jiang cheng could have easily had yunmeng jiang help the wen remnants, he just didn't want to because he's a hater." the latter is the single most common criticism of jiang cheng. the former is a hot take i saw a few months ago as a potential explanation as to why everyone seems to call jiang cheng by his birth name and not his courtesy name.

think about it: MDZS repeatedly establishes that how capable you are of protecting yourself and your people, as well as how willing others are to hear you out, is directly correlated with how much respect you command from your peers and from society; furthermore, "respect" flows from political power: if you are powerful and people recognize you as powerful (two things that may be considered synonymous, given that the existence of political power is made possible in part by popular consensus of its existence), then people will naturally afford you more respect, even if purely to serve their own ends. therefore, if no one respects jiang cheng, then jiang cheng cannot be said to have a lot of political power. if jiang cheng does not have a lot of political power, then - given that the faction wei wuxian pissed off with his actions is incredibly powerful - jiang cheng as a political leader does not have the ability to take in and protect the wen remnants from lanling jin. therefore, if no one respects jiang cheng, then jiang cheng could not in fact have easily stood by wei wuxian's side; these two claims cannot simultaneously be true.

imo, the people who try to argue at once that jiang cheng is evil and that jiang cheng is weak/incompetent do so less because they understand his character or even because they're trying to analyze this piece of media, and moreso because they've already made up their minds that This Guy Sucks Actually and are therefore trying to slap every negative adjective in the book onto him. in the same way that many of the same people will argue that "[trait A]=good, wei wuxian=good, therefore wei wuxian has [trait A]," these people will blithely argue that "[trait B]=bad, jiang cheng=bad, therefore jiang cheng has [trait B]" - all without realizing that, in the pursuit of their #canon haterade, they've merrily meandered off the path of canon and basic logic and into the territory of pure bullshit. this instinct to assign every bad trait under the sun to jiang cheng is also what i suspect drives people to call him, a character who does not seek romantic and/or sexual connections with women anytime onscreen, an incel. seriously, guys, words mean things.

sorry to go off on your post, op, especially about a largely unrelated topic. "Schrödinger's sect" was just a really good way to describe an irritating fandom phenomenon i've observed for a while.

Since I'm being jumped by JC antis for pointing out their double standards, let’s dissect the debts owed by Jiang Cheng and Wei Wuxian, shall we?

Wei Wuxian's Debt to the Jiang Clan:

Wei Wuxian’s debt to the Jiang Clan is immense by ancient Chinese standards. He was saved, taken in, raised, and trained by them, essentially given a new life and a future as a cultivator. In traditional chinese culture, this kind of debt would require a lifetime of loyalty and service to repay. However, Wei Wuxian chose to protect the Wen Remnants, a decision driven by his personal moral beliefs and sense of justice, effectively putting his principles over his obligations to the Jiang Clan. This choice made it impossible for him to repay his debt in the way ancient values would have dictated, as he directly went against Jiang Cheng's leadership and the interests of the Jiang Clan.

Jiang Cheng's Debt to the Wen Siblings:

Jiang Cheng’s debt to Wen Qing and Wen Ning is also significant—they saved his life and ensured his parents' bodies were returned with dignity. The expected repayment from him would traditionally involve some form of reciprocal protection or aid, such as offering them sanctuary, advocating for their safety, or using his influence to speak on their behalf. However, as the new leader of the Jiang Clan struggling to rebuild after the Sunshot Campaign, his first duty was to his own clan's survival. Repaying this personal debt to the Wen siblings would have required protecting the Wen Remnants, which would have risked his clan's stability and political standing. In the end, his obligations as a sect leader took priority.

The Double Standard:

So here’s the issue, antis love to criticize Jiang Cheng for not sacrificing everything to repay the Wen siblings, judging him by the standard of traditional cultural values. But when it comes to Wei Wuxian, they switch to a modern standard claiming "children aren’t expected to repay their caretakers," to dismiss his debt to the Jiang Clan. If we’re judging both characters by the same standard of "repaying debts," the fact is, both made choices based on their circumstances. Jiang Cheng prioritized his clan's survival, and Wei Wuxian chose his moral beliefs. To condemn one while excusing the other is just hypocritical.

Coordinating Conjunctions in English

Coordinating conjunctions are the glue that holds sentences together. They connect words, phrases, and clauses of equal importance, making your writing and speech more fluid and coherent. Whether you’re a native English speaker or a learner, understanding how to use coordinating conjunctions effectively is essential for clear communication. In this blog post, we’ll explore the usage of…

The sixth house handles our routines and daily work life. This is an important house to look at when dealing with medical astrology since this is the house that rules over your health. It is also how you go about planning, detailing, being orderly and precise. Are you scattered or organized? This house placement will tell you more about that. It also relates to small animals.

By looking at your sixth house cusp sign, you can gain insight on the attitude you express in this sector of life.

ARIES ♈️

Early worm gets the bird! You’re an early starter and you like to have a lot going on in one day. Be sure to get physical exercise so you do not experience headaches. You don’t thrive on a set in stone routine but you rather plan your day as it happens. You’ll want to set your own routine and are quite happy that way. You can also be a go-getter in your workplace.

TAURUS ♉️

You need stability in your routine. You can care less for spontaneous tasks like your neighbor sign Aries and you’re more practical than flighty neighbor sign Gemini. Your coworkers appreciate your reliability and you’re focused and well-mannered in your workplace. You may benefit from Pilates.

GEMINI ♊️

You get bored easily with your daily routine so it’s important that you introduce something new into your schedule quite often. Unfortunately, it can be difficult to stay on track and keep a schedule due to having multiple things going on at once. You can be scattered when it comes to organizing your day and learning about time-blocking will benefit you. Taking walks can help you get back on track and stay focused.

CANCER ♋️

You could benefit from daily jogs and exercise.

CAPRICORN ♑️

You’re well organized in your daily routine and appreciate schedules. You manage your time well and always seem to get everything done when it needs to be.

Your plans are always changing and you can experience many disruptions in your day because of it. You can help calm this energy by visiting your local gym often to workout and interact with others.

PISCES ♓️

You’re very different from your opposing sign Virgo. You are disorganized and can find it difficult to stay focused and concentrate on daily tasks and chores. If you do not take care of yourself, you may experience ill-health. It’s important that you practice mindfulness and may benefit from yoga.

PLANETS IN THE SIXTH HOUSE

The signs in astrology show the attitude we take on the house sector but the planets in astrology show how we act on that attitude. The planets in any house reveal the energy we play out in the different areas of our lives. It’s important to note that the aspects made between planets will also play a role on this energy too.

If the energy is repressed, we find that through the challenging aspects (squares, oppositions, and sometimes conjunctions). If the energy thrives, we find that through the harmonious aspects (trines, sextiles, and sometimes conjunctions).

URANUS

You’ll enjoy fast paced work areas and may take an interest in unusual jobs. Due to this being the house of health, you may experience rapid changes when it comes to your health.

You’re always trying to find ways to tear down bad habits and rebuild good ones. This may put your health at the risk of dramatic changes as well. Studying the relationship between mind and body would be beneficial for you.

The Goal of Sanctification

by John Murray

"But of Him you are in Christ Jesus, who became for us wisdom from God--and righteousness and sanctification and redemption--that, as it is written, He who glories, let him glory in Yahweh." - 1 Corinthians 1:30-31

The goal of sanctification is to be understood in two senses. First, there is the chief end to be promoted by it, and second, the attainment to which it is directed and in which it finds its terminus.

1. The chief end is the glory of God (cf. Eph. 1:6, 12, 14; Phil. 1:11). As we entertain the hope of our own glorification, this chief end should be uppermost in our objective and hope. If we think that the glory of God interferes in any way with the glory that belongs to our own glorification, it is because we have a distorted view of that which will be constitutive of our own glorification, namely, the glory that will redound to God in the consummation of the sanctifying process, and the vindication that will be accorded in the manifestation of his glory. Sometimes we have difficulty with the thought of the judgment that will be executed with reference to believers at the judgment seat of Christ, when God will bring every work into judgment with every secret thing, whether it be good or evil. We wonder how the exposure of sins will comport with the bliss of resurrection to life.

This difficulty only arises when we have restricted our thought to our own bliss and have overlooked the demands of the glory of God. When we give the priority to the claims of God's glory, then we appreciate the fact that the prerequisite to our bliss is the vindication of the glory of God. And the glory of God requires that there be perfect adjudication of all things, that the whole panorama of history will be finally adjudicated with perfect equity and truth. God "will judge the world with righteousness, and the people with his truth" (Ps. 96:13). How could the people of God contemplate with delight an eternity that would leave anything at loose ends? The adjudication that God will render with reference to their sins is not one that will fill them with dismay, but one that will only enhance in their esteem the marvels of redeeming grace, as it will also serve to exhibit the perfect justice of God in the provisions of his saving mercy. When sin is exposed in its true proportions and gravity, it is then that the glory of redemptive grace will be fully exhibited and the joy of the saints will reach its zenith. The bliss of heaven is not constituted by forgetting sin, but by glorying in the redemption that washed us from sin and made us white in the blood of the Lamb.

When we think of the glory of God as the chief end in the goal of sanctification, we must appreciate the extent to which God will be glorified in the glorification of his people. There is no limitation to the glory that will redound to God from the completion of the sanctifying process. God will be glorified in all his works. The damnation of the reprobate will redound to the glory of God, and no speck of stain will attach to God's action. It will redound to the glory of his justice and power. But in the glorification of the people of God, the whole sum of the divine perfections will be manifested as in no other handiwork of his. We must say this, because it is only in relation to the redemption of the elect that the incarnation of the Son has meaning. The glorification of the elect is really one with the final glorification of him who himself is the embodiment of the glory of God. So when his glory will be revealed, the people of God will also be manifested with him in glory. But the revelation of Christ's glory is surely the supreme exhibition of the glory of God. . . .

2. The second sense in which the goal of sanctification is to be understood is the attainment in which it finds its terminus. This is the glorification of the believer and of the whole body of the elect. It is noteworthy how seldom the term "glorify" (δοξάξω) is used with reference to the people of God (cf. Rom. 8:17, 30). This term is almost uniformly used of glorifying God or Christ. What is of particular significance in the glorification of the people of God is the relation it sustains to the glorification of Christ himself. In Romans 8:17 believers and Christ are said to be glorified together, and in Romans 8:29, 30 it is apparent that the glorification spoken of in verse 20 is the realization of the predestinating purpose spoken of in verse 29, namely, conformity to the image of God's Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brethren.

These two texts, therefore, both indicate the inseparable conjunction and community that exists between Christ and believers in respect of what is the final phase of Christ's exaltation and glorification, and the glorification of the elect. The title "firstborn" or "firstbegotten" (πρωτότοκος) refers to priority and pre-eminence and points to the supereminence that belongs to Christ. But it is supereminence among brethren, and therefore the supereminence involved has no meaning except in that relation. Hence, though there can be no underestimation of the pre-eminence belonging to the Son as the firstbegotten, yet the interdependence is just as necessary. The glory bestowed upon the redeemed is derived from the relation they sustain to the "firstborn." But the specific character involved in being the "firstborn" is derived from the relation he sustains to the redeemed in that capacity. Hence they must be glorified together.

The glorification of the elect is, by implication, said to consist in conformity to the image of the Son. The marvel of the destination is hereby brought to our attention in a way that is unique. For the title "Son" has reference to Christ as the only-begotten (Rom. 8:3, 32), and the eternal sonship is in view. The conformity cannot, of course, have in view conformity to him in that capacity or relation. The conformity includes conformity to the likeness of the body of Christ's glory (Phil. 3:21), and must, therefore, be conceived of as conformity to the image of the Son incarnate. But the glorified Christ does not cease to be the eternal Son. Hence conformity to his image as incarnate and glorified is conformity to the image of him who is the eternal and only-begotten Son. This is the highest end conceivable for created beings, the highest end conceivable not only by men but also by God himself. God himself could not contemplate or determine a higher destiny for his creatures.

We must not overlook, however, the succeeding clause -- "that he might be the firstborn among many brethren." This specifies the final aim of the conformity spoken of. We might well ask: What can be more ultimate than conformity of the sons of God to the image of the only-begotten and firstborn? If such a question has any appeal by way of objection, it is because our orientation is anthropocentric rather than Christocentric and theocentric. There is a final end that is more ultimate than the glorification of the people of God. It is the pre-eminence of Christ, and that pre-eminence vindicated and exemplified in the final phase of his glorification. "Firstborn" reflects on the priority and supremacy of Christ (cf. Col. 1:15, 18; Heb. 1:6; Rev. 1:5). The glory of God is always supreme and ultimate. And the supreme glory of God is manifested in the glorifying of the Son...

But the glory for the people of God is only enhanced by the emphasis placed upon the pre-eminence of Christ. For it is among many brethren that Christ is the firstborn. That they should be classified as brethren brings to the thought of glorification with Christ the deepest mystery of community. The fraternal relationship is subsumed under the ultimate aim of the predestinating decree. This means that the pre-eminence of the Son as the firstborn carried with it the correlative eminence of the children of God. The unique dignity of the Son enhances the dignity bestowed upon the many sons who are to be brought to glory. "Both he that sanctifies and they who are sanctified are all of one: for which cause he is not ashamed to call them brethren" (Heb. 2:11).

We thus see how, in the final realization of the goal of sanctification, there is exemplified and vindicated to the fullest extent (an extent that staggers our thought by reason of its stupendous reality) the truth inscribed upon the whole process of redemption, from its inception in the electing grace of the Father (cf. Eph. 1:4; Rom. 8:29) to its consummation in the adoption (cf. Rom. 8:23; Eph. 1:5), that Christ in all his offices as Redeemer is never to be conceived of apart from the church, and the church is not to be conceived of apart from Christ. There is correlativity in election, there is correlativity in redemption once for all accomplished, there is correlativity in the mediatorial ministry which Christ continues to exercise at the right hand of the Father, and there is correlativity in the consummation, when Christ will come the second time without sin for those that look for him unto salvation. This is the goal of sanctification. This is the hope it enshrines, and thereby its demands upon us are invested with sanctions of surpassing glory.

What's Juvederm?

Juvederm is a household of dermal fillers employed for facial augmentation.

Lactic acid is a substance naturally found in the body, which operates in conjunction with hydration to keep skin hydratedhealthysmooth.

Who's a fantastic candidate for Juvederm?

Juvederm is well tolerated in the majority of the populace, on account of the simple fact it is nonallergenic rather than derived from animal sources.

It's also a fantastic solution for men and women that wish to restore volume for your own face.

Women that are nursing or pregnant might not be great candidates for Juvederm remedies.

Who will administer Juvederm Santa Barbara medications?

From a legal standpoint, the reply to this question is dependent upon where you're . In certain countries, a Juvederm injection has to be administered by an experienced doctor; in different nations, nurses and physicians' assistants are competent to do so.

But just because somebody can administer your own Juvederm injection doesn't automatically signify they need to. Even though the outcomes are temporary, erroneously administering Juvederm can result in undesirable effects or potential complications which may place your wellbeing in danger. Bearing this in mind, it's strongly advised you take some opportunity to locate a board-certified plastic surgeon with experience with Juvederm as well as the experience required to offer the shot safely and efficiently. Can Juvederm shots be reversed?

Juvederm injections are frequently regarded as quite safe processes. But in case that something goes wrong or you're not pleased with the consequences, rest assured that these shots can really be reversed.

Hyaluronidase may be injected into the affected regions to dissolve the lipoic acid. This may solve many different problems a minority of individuals encounter with Juvederm--such as excessive swelling, swelling, infection, and chronic lumps.

But it's well worth noting that hyaluronidase isn't a ideal option --in some circumstances it can eliminate an excessive amount of filler, leading to the demand for a different shot of Juvederm to achieve your aesthetic aim. Just how much can Juvederm price?

But --like any cosmetic or medical process --the price of Juvederm may fluctuate significantly based on a range of variables.

Keep in mind that the amount of sessions needed, the particular formulation used, and also the charges set by your supplier can influence the final price of your Juvederm therapy. Additionally, your geographic location may also have a large effect on the price tag.

Many physicians and plastic surgeons usually do provide various financing strategies, so make sure you talk about your choices when exercising your budget.

The process itself is quite fast. They will administer the shot, which generally requires 15--30 seconds. Outcomes are visible almost instantly, though you might experience some swelling and bruising which will slowly disappear within the subsequent week. Why are Juvederm shots painful?

As with any shot, getting a Juvederm shot does demand some distress, but it isn't too debilitating. Many Juvederm injections have a tiny quantity of lidocaine, a medicine that's used to purify tissue at a concentrated area (despite the fact that it's likely to acquire injections without lidocaine in case you want ). Additionally, seasoned professionals may have refined their approach over years of expertise to lessen pain and also make the process as agreeable as you can.

In accordance with Juvederm, the two products have a satisfaction rate of approximately 75--80 percent and both offer results that continue for as much as a year. A seasoned supplier will have the ability to help you select which formula will probably likely be most suitable to your requirements. What are a few of the dangers involved in using Juvederm?

Week 5

Week 5′s exercise was really good in the sense that it secured what we had learnt with Rhino in the previous week’s exercise. In the lecture we went through a demonstration similar to what we would be completing later on in the tutorial class. Sam took us through how to draw up dimensions and when the SmartTrack tool would come in handy. Max walked us through the process of printing our final drawings and how to convert the file to a PDF format. I was sort of familiar with this process from another CAD program I had previously worked with. 

The exercise in the tutorial class had us create a 2D orthographic view of the provided object in Rhino. This was to be done in reference to the AS1100 standards as practice for when we would later recreate our project one sketches on the computer. I began by constructing centre lines for the front view of the shape. I felt pretty comfortable completing this view as I was just using some of the commands I had learnt last week (e.g. circles, offsetting and curves) I did encounter a hurdle when we worked out that there was an error in the given dimensions. The length along the top edge did not connect to the given length of the bottom. In order to account for this mistake, I went back and edited the shape to be symmetrical.

After this I began my top view. This was done fairly quickly as I just projected the vertical lines up from the front view with the correct O-snaps selected. From there I drew up the top view making sure each of the dimensions correlated to the edited front view. I started my side view based off of the front view as I did with my top view. By projecting the horizontal lines that ran through the front view I was able to quickly draw up the side view, again following the dimensions of the edited Pivot bearing. Using the O-snaps in conjunction with the polyline tool made the process of creating the side view the most efficient out of the three shapes.

Finally, I was left with adding the dimensions and hatching of the side view. i found these steps to be quite easy as we were given a demonstration of how to complete them earlier on in the lecture. From here we were advised to create templates including a boarder of 1mm and title block. I saved this as a layout, so that I would be able to use it for my final submission of the project 1CAD drawing and for future sketches in Rhino. 

After the exercise this week, I feel like I am becoming a lot more comfortable with using the software. I am getting familiar with most of the commands used for 2D drawings and their functions. This week I learnt how to print from Rhino, how to properly dimension your drawing and how to set a layout with title blocks; a few things that will come in handy for Project 1.

High Throughput Chemical Quantification of Pyruvate in Sweat in Response to Modulation by Nutritional Supplementation and Exercise

High Throughput Chemical Quantification of Pyruvate in Sweat in Response to Modulation by Nutritional Supplementation and Exercise in Biomedical Journal of Scientific & Technical Research

https://biomedres.us/fulltexts/BJSTR.MS.ID.005993.php

Pyruvate is a commonly occurring organic keto-acid found in various food-associated items and many biological fluids. In particular, pyruvate is responsible for imparting distinct flavor attributes to food and is recognized for its association with pungency in onions and garlic, and the enhanced flavor profiles in common fruits [2-5]. Interestingly, pyruvate quantification in onions is of central importance for the selection of breeding stock that imparts lower pungency and enhanced sweetness, which correlate to consumer preference [6-8]. The determination of pyruvate concentration is also of central importance in diagnostics and represents a useful and easily quantified biomarker present in various human biological fluids (sweat, saliva, and urine), or cell culture supernatants. For example, it has been used in conjunction with lactate levels to infer cellular redox state in vitro and in vivo, it has been evaluated in saliva as a quantitative biomarker for head and neck cancers and thus simplifies patient monitoring for individuals at risk [9].

(taken from chat.  warning: gross.  warning: possibly beating dead horses, or dead sexbots, if you like)

The tumblr discourse on sexbots (which I don't know, but assume came out of the incel discourse, the flames of which were fanned by Hanson) has been interesting, I didn't know there were so many people with purity ethics intuitions in the diaspora I don't have a lot of purity instincts.  I have to simulate it with something that does squick me out to empathize with the positions.

to fully understand the impulse to continue saying something is _wrong and evil_ I have to imagine myself talking to someone who is like "I like to lick feces.  here is lots of good reasoning that this is not dangerous.  I would never coerce anyone into doing this, and I would never discuss it with someone who didn't want to hear about it, but that's how I spend my evenings.  Licking poop.  A totally harmless activity for all sensible definitions of harm that I could think to address" because my reaction to that impulse is like a handflappy "uuuugh but it's _bad and wrong_ and ugh I _guess_ you aren't hurting anyone but I don't know if I believe that anyone with that impulse isn't fundamentally damaged in some way and I think a _norm_ of licking poop will be irrevocably damaging to society and you should _really see a therapist_ but I respect your autonomy _ugh this is so disgusting_" and if I saw the broader culture embracing a trend of licking poop even in conjunction with lots of research that's like "licking poop does not make you sick!  it does not have long-term effects on health!  people who lick poop live happy and productive lives and it doesn't correlate with any indicators of other dysfunction" I would _still_ think that a widespread trend of licking poop had to be _bad and evil and wrong_ I highly recommend this exercise if you think you genuinely have no purity ethics intuitions find something that grosses you out really really grosses you out where it seems to be an obvious indicator of deeper dysfunction and see how similar your objections are to the sexbot discourse
