Orange tabby kitten play tail8/18/2023 ![]() In Photo 4, we have a complete interaction in process. Photo 3: These cats signal a lack of willingness to interact, evidenced by their tail behaviors and obvious spacing. Here, the tail has functioned in a series of signals that not only indicated a lack of willingness to interact, but may have also functioned in the spacing of the animals. While not actively fighting, none of these cats are engaged in active interaction. ![]() In Photo 3, we see a series of cats all of whom have their tails either wrapped or tucked. Photos 2: The tail wrap combined with facial and paw postures indicate this cat's desire for more distance. When all of the systems agree, there is little hesitancy in the animal's response. This photo is a terrific example of how multiple signaling systems can tell you not only what an animal is "saying" but how seriously they are communicating it. In Photo 2 we see the focus of the cat's angst: a dog who, based on her head position and facial expression, is becoming convinced that the cat really doesn't desire her attentions. Photos 1: The tail wrap combined with facial and paw postures indicate this cat's desire for more distance. Both of these are facial signals that can correlate with agonistic interactions. The cat's ears are also moving back, and he is staring. The information obtained from paw posture certainly confirms this theory judging by the tail position. The role for raised limbs and swatting in changing interactions with other animals have not been investigated in cats, but the widely held belief is that this is a distance-increasing signal that is meant to discourage interaction. The cat is resting his weight on his one forelimb while the other is raised as if to swat. In this case we have as broader context provided by the cat's facial expression and paw. Instead, this cat is closed to interactions from those that approach. ![]() Ears and bellies are places where heat loss is great. The cat in Photo 1 is upright, has ears up, and has exposed his belly to the air. Cold cats crouch down, fold their ears down, bury their nose, wrap their tail around the entire body, and become as small as possible. Cats that wrap their tail around their feet could be cold, but the rest of the body's signals would have to be in agreement for this conclusion to be reached. ![]() The easiest signal for clients to recognize is the one shown in Photo 1, the "wraparound" tail. Then, we can take these observations and look for congruence or lack of it between other signaling systems (e.g., the eyes, voice, body, etc.) The only system closed to our understanding, for now, is the olfactory. While no signaling system can be removed from the context of the entire animal and correctly interpreted, it can be very useful to look at what information can be communicated by each body part involved in signaling. The second column in this series on feline communication will focus on the information provided by cat tails. ![]()

Devonthink pro office box8/18/2023 ![]() DEVONthink now more reliably detects PDFs whose text layer could potentially be corrupted by macOS’ PDF framework.For people annotating PDFs in DEVONthink To Go, we improved handling selection and annotation links made in the mobile app.Line annotations in PDFs now snap to multiples of 45 degrees when holding the Shift key.This is also supported in the Take Note tab of theSorter as well as the Annotations & Reminders > Annotations inspector. Use the up and down arrow keys, while holding Shift-Control, Control-Command, or Shift-Option. Moving selected lines in plain text, rich text, and Markdown documents is now possible.This matches the Partial matches while typing toolbar search option in the desktop application. Added a popup menu to the toolbar search field in the web sharing interface to toggle matching substrings versus whole words.Added reference URL AppleScript property to windows and tabs to retrieve the appropriate item link for the displayed document, e.g., a link to the selected text in a PDF.Added hidden preference AVSkippingInterval to specify the numbers of seconds to skip forward or backward when using the right or left arrow keys with Shift held in audio and video documents. ![]() Added hidden preference MaximumNumberOfRecentDestinations to set the number of locations shown in the Recent Destinations section of contextual and popup menus, e.g., in the Move to submenu.This is also available as the raw placeholder %recordHashTags%. Added placeholder #Tags in the Insert Placeholders submenu to insert the tags of an item formatted as hash tags.The underlined text also displays in the Document > Annotations inspector. Added support for squiggly underline PDF annotations made in some PDF applications.And again, performance and reliability continues to improve. Of course, version 3.9.1 also comes with many more improvements and fixes, e.g., changes to make menus and commands more consistent across the interface. And finally, DEVONthink Server’s web interface gets an option to match substrings when searching, and produces results more likely those of the desktop application. A new placeholder inserts hashtags into, e.g., templates, and the duplicate detection uses content hashes for even more acurately finding exact duplicates. While editing text documents, DEVONthink now lets you move selected lines with keyboard commands.

Reflection graph problems8/18/2023 ![]() ![]() G( m) + 10 is adding 10 to the output, gallons. The function G( m) gives the number of gallons of gas required to drive m miles. Said another way, we must add 2 hours to the input of old to find the corresponding output for new: new( x) = old( x + 2).Įxample 4: Interpret Horizontal versus Vertical Shifts The new function new( x) uses the same outputs as old( t), but matches those outputs to inputs 2 hours earlier than those of old( x). Horizontal changes or “inside changes” affect the domain of a function (the input) instead of the range and often seem counterintuitive. Note that f( x + 2) has the effect of shifting the graph to the left. If the old function was y = f( x), then the new function will be y = f( x + 2). old(9) = new(7), thus we have to add 2 to the input of new to make it equal old. ![]() Since these are both the same leaving distance, then they are equal. So the leaving distance is 0 = old(9) originally. He was leaving at 9 AM, now he is leaving at 7 AM. The input will need to be increased by 2. Call the original schedule function old( x) and the new schedule new( x). Figure 6 Solutionīecause he will travel 2 hours earlier, the graph will translate two places to the left. Sketch a graph of the function representing Jim's distance from home during the new schedule. Next week, his schedule will change and he will have to arrive at work 2 hours earlier, but he will also get to go home 2 hours earlier at the end of the day. He decided to draw a graph of his distance from home throughout the day. Table 1 tĮveryday, Jim drives to work and then straight back home. Since the entire function = y, then adding 20 to the function increases the y-values by 20. If the old function was y = f( x), then the new function would be y = f( x) + 20. Notice in figure 5, for each input x-value, the output y-value increased by 20. This will cause the graph to translate up 20 units. The graph can be sketched by adding 20 to each of the y-values of the original function. So, the manager starts charging a $20 cleaning fee in addition to the rent. The manager would like to charge more to rent the pool, but people really like the policy of only charging for the first 10 people. Figure 4 is the graph of the total price for groups. If both h and k are present then the graph translates both horizontally and vertically.Ī small swimming pool lets groups rent the pool for $5 a person, but they only charge for first 10 people. The number k is added outside to the entire function for a vertical shift because the function is y ( y = f( x)) to change the y-value. Notice that the number h is put inside the function with the x for a horizontal translation so that the x-value changes. If h is negative, then it translates left, and if k is negative, then it translated down. In figure 3, the function y = | x| is translated up 2 units. Where k is the distance the graph is translated up. In figure 2, the function y = | x| is translated right 2 units. Where h is the distance the graph is translated to the right. Then horizontal translations are in the form A translation moves a graph horizontally, vertically, or both. The first type of transformation is a translation. Likewise, vertical transformations result from changing the y values. Because the x is the horizontal axis, to transform a graph horizontally, change the x values by addition or multiplication. This lesson looks at transformations that change a graph horizontally or vertically. These changes are transformations which change a graph's position, orientation, or size. This lesson looks at how to change a parent function into a similar function. Mathematicians can transform a parent function to model a problem scenario given as words, tables, graphs, or equations. This lets the functions describe real world situations better. Mathematics can cause the parent functions to transform in ways similar to the mirrors. If the mirror is bent like a funhouse mirror, then the image can be stretched or shrunk. If the mirror is tilted, then the image can be shifted horizontally or vertically. credit (wikimedia/Conrad Poirier)Ī flat mirror produces an image called a reflection where everything is inverted left to right. Perform a sequences of transformations.įigure 1: The reflection of two people in a distorting mirror of Cartierville Belmont Park.Graph functions with stretches and shrinks. ![]()

Your first-year marketing strategy is a blueprint for how you plan on reaching potential customers. While there will be some overlap, and many elements of your market research will be included in your marketing strategy, they are not the same.

You want to focus on insider tips and tricks and ensure you aren't missing anything in your industry research. The above are industry-specific forums and groups, but you should also check out broader business groups such as: Coin Laundry Association – Forum/Community.Laundromat and Self Service Car Wash Group – Facebook Group.Laundromat Owners Forum – Facebook Group.Upon an initial search, here are some of the different groups that I managed to find: The best place to start is forums or groups where other laundromat owners are likely to hang out. Once you know whether or not a new laundromat is sustainable, you need to learn a bit about the industry. If possible, try and learn what the local market is like and whether it's underserved. However, you want to avoid too many businesses in a specific area and not enough demand. It's actually a good sign if there is already some competition, as it means there is at least enough demand to support more than one business. This doesn't mean you should get discouraged if other laundromats are already in operation. It's also essential to understand the target customer and know whether they are looking for what you are offering. You need to understand the competitive landscape to ensure there is room for your business and not an oversaturation.

Scripture jeremiah 29 118/17/2023 ![]() ![]() Put simply, when we walk with God, our lives will be full of joy and thoughts of peace. “The steps of a man are established by the Lord, when he delights in his way” ( Psalm 37:23). We should always trust in Him to lead us down the right path. ![]() This verse is telling us we can’t even comprehend the amazing things God has in store for us. “But, as it is written, “What no eye has seen, nor ear heard, nor the heart of man imagined, what God has prepared for those who love him” (1 Corinthians 2:9). That’s why some of us refer to our professions as a “calling.” It’s a call to fulfill God’s devotional purpose for us. When you love God, He will call you to His purpose. Bible Rank: 29 For I know the plans I have for you, declares the LORD, plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. “And we know that for those who love God all things work together for good, for those who are called according to his purpose” ( Romans 8:28). No matter how extravagant our plans may seem, God is in control because His purposes always prevail. Many are the plans in a person’s heart, but it is the LORD’s purpose that prevails” ( Proverbs 19:20-21). “Listen to advice and accept discipline, and at the end, you will be counted among the wise. Some of our favorite Bible verses include: While Jeremiah 29:11 is the most popular verse when talking about God’s plans for us, plenty of other verses share similar messages. It's important to have cross-references when referring to the Bible to further enrich our understanding and study of God’s word. Even though some things may seem horrible or troubling for us at the time, we must have faith that God’s plan for us is what’s best. He knows everything that will or won’t happen to us. ![]() He merely told them that even though it’s hard right now, they must have faith. He wasn’t saying He’d swoop down and make everything easy for them. The people were asked to do the impossible, and it makes sense if they were hesitant at first.īy saying, “I know the plans I have for you,” God was reassuring the people that their faith in Him would be rewarded. Additionally, the city was in enemy Babylonian territory, which didn’t make things any easier. God tasked Jeremiah with delivering a message that God’s people would have to live and prosper for 70 years in a city that wasn't theirs. During this period, there were many emotional and physical stressors affecting God's followers. There, they are now under the enemy's control. When Jeremiah speaks, he is addressing his fellow Jerusalemites who were sent into exile in Babylon. ![]()

Books on optimism for kids8/17/2023 ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Those who make universal explanations for their perceived failures tend to give up, whereas those that make specific explanations only feel helpless in that area. The reverse is true for positive events, pessimists will believe them to be temporary and vice versa for optimists. People who tend to give up easily believe that the causes of bad events are permanent, they believe that they will always affect their lives whereas those who are more optimistic believe the are temporary. There are three dimensions to explanatory style: permanence, pervasiveness and personalisation. Explanatory style is how we explain the cause of events. The good news is that if you tend to be more pessimistic you can train yourself to be more optimistic. Dr Martin Seligman has researched this topic extensively and written a book called “Learned Optimism”. These are people who tend to be hopeful and confident about the future or the success of something. Epic Inspiration - DM Production.Īre you an optimist or a pessimist? Optimists report being happier in their lives. #church #viral #fyp #jesus #mentalhealth #faith #bibleverse". ![]() 4 After all, you have not yet given your lives in your struggle against sin. Now he is seated in the place of honor beside God’s throne.3 Think of all the hostility he endured from sinful people then you won’t become weary and give up. Because of the joy awaiting him, he endured the cross, disregarding its shame. 2 We do this by keeping our eyes on Jesus, the champion who initiates and perfects our faith. Hebrews 12:1-4 says: “let us run with endurance the race God has set before us. They tend to believe defeat is just a temporary set back confronted by a bad situation they perceive it as a challenge and try harder.” Pessimists give up, optimists lean in. Optimists who are confronted with the same hard knocks of this world think about misfortune just the opposite way. #church #viral #fyp #jesus #mentalhealth #faith #bibleverseĦ1 Likes, TikTok video from Pr Marcelo Mansur "Read caption - I am reading this book called “Learned Optimism” by Martin Seligman, it said “the defining characteristics of a pessimist is that they tend to believe that bad events will last a really long time, will undermine everything they do, and it’s their fault”. “let us run with endurance the race God has set before us.

Great wolf lodge sandusky photos8/17/2023 ![]() ![]() the next night we decided to go back and at least use a little of our meal credits to do dessert along with the cake that came in the birthday package. Well the first night the pool closed at 8 so we got out, changed out of our wet cloths and walked down to the restaurant (arrived by 8:15) and were told “sorry we don’t have any seating available for 5 and we’ll be closed by the time we do.” knowing we just paid $150 for the dining package and another however much for the breakfast package and the next night we had plans of meeting family for my daughters birthday dinner so that was the only night we needed to use the dining credit and we were told we couldn’t because they “didn’t have seating” meanwhile there were maybe 4 family’s in the restaurant all at large tables leaving multiple 4 tops open that could’ve easily been pushed together. We always get the biggest dining package because we are a family of five so packing everyone up and leaving is just a hassle when we can just go down the hall to the restaurant on site. the rooms were out of date, the shower curtain was ripped up, there wasn’t even a fitted sheet the the mattress, the staff was hit and miss if we were going to get attitude or not, the dining was a HUGE mistake. ![]() We decided to try a new location this year for my daughters birthday as we always go to the Mason location but the Sandusky location cuts just over an hour off our drive time.
