Still pools keep algae to a minimum with aeration This pond was so green the sand bottom could not be seen Since then a neighbor has taken up the cause to reverse algae blooms and the oxygen they consume by laying pipes almost the entire length of the pond and pumping in air All ponds in this area use this accepted method to keep local still waters free of algae It is a wonder this method is not used for the Washington Reflection Pool - If it is used does it work? The Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool has been plagued by algae blooms and peeling paint following a recent renovation The Virginia contracting firm Atlantic Industrial Coatings will now receive $13.1 million to repair the reflecting pool, the Times reported. The firm previously worked on the swimming pools at Trump's Sterling, Virginia, golf club and was awarded a no-bid contract last month. The Interior Department reportedly added $6.2 million to the existing contract last week. Today our p...

DOG In theory, handing tasks off to coding agents should free up time, allowing larger blocks for deep work and rest. But some developers are having the opposite experience. Instead of allowing for greater focus, the latest AI tools are overwhelming workers, frazzling minds and shredding attention spans. Although agents can do plenty more work now than they could a year ago, they still need human oversight. Like toddlers, AI agents ask endless follow-up questions, require detailed instructions—and, if you leave them unsupervised, are liable to make a huge mess. Once you get several running simultaneously, there’s no time for breaks. As “the author” puts it on LinkedIn, his job is to be an “AI babysitter.” As most people who use AI know, the above is general practice, something like owning a new puppy. Fun, if you’re into this sort of thing and just as messy without continual guidance. Is AI worth the effort?

Putin is a joke who makes you cry There is no reason for his actions because they amount to nothing but fear and pain Путин — это посмешище, от которого хочется плакать. В его действиях нет никакого смысла, ведь они несут лишь страх и боль. Jack Benny let you laugh in an unassuming way He was real entertainment in the fifties without gore, just grace and style Джек Бенни позволял смеяться легко и непринужденно. В пятидесятые он был воплощением настоящего развлечения — без кровавых сцен, лишь с изяществом и стилем. y

If your looking for solutions, there are none. This will save you some reading time. If you want to know why, keep reading. Bipolar (manic depression) is a neurological manifestation, not a disease that can not be cured with thought or medication. It occurs from birth or from trauma and interrupts your life for as long as you live. This is a personal definition only, not a guide. When delusion is limited with the aid of medication perceptions once enjoyed no longer exist. Therefore a life without delusion no longer accepts the very experiences that at one time defined that life. Consequently the relationships that were born of delusion must be rebuilt. It’s fair to assume, that once reconstructed, they will not mirror any previous state of mind. The loss of the unreal creates a need to reconstruct what is real and it is accomplished more so by necessity than choice. Being able to experience both delusion and hallucinati...

“For most of human history, complexity was absorbed by stable structures around us. Kingdoms, religious orders, governments, corporations and communities made decisions on behalf of individuals, either directly or through shaping opportunities available to them. A person inherited their identity, geography, profession and even world view, often leading to conformity by choice, which was then reinforced through cultural norms. Life may not have been fair or optimal, but it was structurally legible. That arrangement is unravelling. Today, the individual must navigate levels of complexity once reserved for institutions.

"Hegseth identifies as a Christian and has often expressed his faith publicly. His religious beliefs are central to both his personal and professional identity, as demonstrated by his collection of tattoos, which he describes as extensions of his faith, patriotism and worldview." "His ink includes several religious symbols: "Deus Vult" ("God wills it") on his bicep—a slogan from the First Crusade—a cross and sword referencing the Bible verse Matthew 10:34, which he interprets as "not peace, but a sword," and a Jerusalem cross , a Crusader-era emblem he says led to his removal from National Guard duties during President Biden's 2021 inauguration."

Catholic confession Heavenly Father, Almighty and Merciful God, I come before You with a humble and contrite heart, acknowledging my sins and shortcomings before Your holy presence. You are righteous and just, full of grace and compassion, and I know that I have fallen short of Your glory. Lord, I confess that I have sinned against You in my thoughts, in my words, and in my actions. I have not always loved You with all my heart, soul, mind, and strength. I have not always loved my neighbor as myself. I have allowed pride, selfishness, anger, and impatience to take root in my heart and guide my actions. I have spoken words that were unkind, harbored thoughts that were impure, and committed deeds that were displeasing to You. Father, I confess the times I have neglected prayer, ignored Your Word, and failed to seek Your will. I have chosen my own way instead of Yours. I have been careless with my time, wasting opportunities to do good and to glorify Your name. I have failed to show...

"Sed libera nos a malo" translates to "but deliver us from evil" and is a phrase from the Lord's Prayer in Latin. It expresses a plea for protection from harm or evil The price of gas, which is subject to change for better or worse, is what this Latin phrase refers to In this static montage you see the symbol for faith and the hard green numbers that were created by politics and all the unnecessary power plays of this country's administration Yes, "Deliver us from evil" this year and all that follow An unrelated personal interest:; It has been decades since I studied guitar in Seville This is one of my favorite pieces, the Bulerias by Paco De Lucia from over fifty years ago Francisco Gustavo Sánchez Gómez, known as Paco de Lucía, was a Spanish virtuoso flamenco guitarist, composer, and record producer.

The following document is made available from a person who has since passed. In my opinion it is relevant today considering the onset of the current war with Iran. Direct all concerns to this blogger. " The defeat of the Infrastructure is a major counterintelligence mission, that must have laws to assure its success. Presently, an attack on the Infrastructure brings major demonstrations by the Liberation Front charging effectively that the government is attacking its political opposition. This is particularly frustrating for the USA when working with third world governments where there is generally corruption and claims that all of its opposition is communist. The free world must come to grips with this dilemma or be frustrated to the end - Communist domination." M E K O N G D E L T A T H E V A L L E Y O F T E A R S by NORMAN HURD RICKER, JR.
