Ellicott city flood human chain1/23/2024 ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() "We've had the pleasure of cutting more ribbons and having not only businesses invest, but residents and visitors coming back in droves to Ellicott City Main Street because they know that we're making real progress. "More and more businesses are investing," Ball said. County Executive Calvin Ball said these projects bring new hope. Ellicott City had destruction costing more than $22 million, and at least two people died when more than six inches of rain was dumped on Ellicott City in less than two hours.Īfter both floods, some business owners and residents had to make the tough decision on whether to stay in Old Ellicott City or leave for good. Some brave citizens in from Maryland’s low-lying town of Ellicott City have formed a human chain to save a woman trapped in deadly flood waters. Some people created a human chain to rescue a woman from a. In 2016, more than 25 buildings were damaged. The Ellicott City flash flood caused two deaths, generated 120 swift water rescues, and caused significant property damage. Jason Barnes watched helplessly Sunday night as a torrential downpour fueled a fierce river winding through Ellicott City, waters pounding his toy shop and other businesses. The flooding that hit Ellicott City, which sits near the Patapsco River, was called an off-the-charts thousand-year event. Eddison Hermond died saving a woman trapped in the floodwaters. In 2018, roughly 60 business reopened after major flooding, while 15 more decided never to come back. The floods that were supposed to happen only once every 1,000 years hit this area twice in the last six years. There was an overwhelming feeling of helplessness on Sunday as residents of this old mill town near Baltimore surveyed the damage from once-in-a-lifetime flooding that left. ![]()

Lightning crotch1/22/2024 ![]() ![]() Additionally, you might deal with heartburn (more so than usual) because of pregnancy-induced relaxation of the muscle at the end of your esophagus that is supposed to constrict when necessary to keep acid and food from flowing backward. "Usually, you would pass, but it can build up, then make you burp all the time," says Dr. You also naturally swallow some air when you talk and eat, which can lead to a different type of gas-related discomfort. Here’s how to know when to make that call. Constipation can be normal to some extent, but you should definitely see a doctor after a certain point. (Yup, we mean the beast that is constipation.) Plus, a lot of prenatal vitamins have iron, and your growing uterus can even make it harder physically for your bowels to move things along, both of which can also stop you up. Potential results: feeling surprisingly full even though you might assume you’d be ravenous thanks to the whole pregnancy thing, and poop just sitting in your body instead of making a not-so-graceful exit. That means food doesn't pass through your system as quickly as usual. "Progesterone, relaxes smooth muscles like your intestines," says Dr. Your digestive system can go all out during pregnancy and really show off its ability to make you uncomfortable, as SELF previously reported. Fun! Round ligament pain can also happen if the ligaments constrict or spasm, or if nerve fibers close by become irritated, the Mayo Clinic explains. You may also feel a bit of a pulling sensation in your labia, depending on how far-reaching the pain is. " get stretched as the uterus enlarges, so people can feel a pulling sensation, usually around the hip bones," says Dr. That expansion is where round ligament pain can come in. Since ligaments have collagen and elastic fibers, they’re able to soften and stretch a bit, which is key because that offers some support for your expanding uterus during pregnancy. Your round ligaments, in particular, serve as connections between your uterus and your groin. Ligaments are cords in your body that connect certain structures in your body to other structures, the Merck Manual explains. You probably haven’t ever given much (if any) thought to your round ligaments, but they play a pretty important role in your body-especially during pregnancy. ![]() ![]() We promise, though, that this can be a completely normal part of how your body changes during pregnancy. Yes, this might all sound weird-people usually talk about varicose veins in legs, after all, so having them wind up on your vulva might throw you for a loop. Hence, varicose veins that can cause tingly pain down below. Your veins usually have valves that stop blood from flowing backward, but because of all that pregnancy-induced pressure in the area, they might not work as well as usual. That pressure dilation of those veins," Dr. "There's increasing pressure from the enlarging uterus, so the blood from everything below it doesn't make its way effectively upward as it typically does. ![]() These are also known as vulvar varicosities, according to the Mayo Clinic. Interestingly enough, some of this out-of-nowhere pain could also be due to varicose veins that pop up on your vulva (outer genitalia) during pregnancy, Peter Ahlering, M.D., an ob-gyn at the Missouri Center for Reproductive Medicine, tells SELF. ![]() Picasa google chrome1/22/2024 ![]() ![]() Moreover, because Photos is a cloud-based platform, you can access all of your photos on every device, everywhere you go. Google Photos essentially does for photos what Gmail did for email. Remember when Gmail came along and suddenly it just didn’t matter how well you kept your email organized? The same potent magic that made Google good at finding the right webpages was now available to help you find those buried messages. Image used with permission by copyright holder Rockets? I never labeled these photos as “rockets,” yet somehow, Google Photos knew that’s what they were. Why would I want to switch? Finding pics in Google Photos is much easier Rockets. It doesn’t even offer the most useful tool ever invented: Red-eye. Although Google Photos offers a handful of Instagram-esque filters and a number of editing tools to choose from - including those for cropping, rotating, and making contrast adjustments, among others- it’s a paltry selection compared to what Picasa provides. It’s not a big deal for minor edits like cropping, but for others, it can be a huge loss.Īnd it gets worse. That was the right way to do things in order to keep changes from being “destructive,” but it also means that short of Google uploading your Picasa database too, there’s no way to include it in your Google Photos collection. Because Picasa stores all of that information within in its own database, it isn’t embedded in your physical photo files. Virtually all of the blood, sweat, and tears you’ve invested into tasks such as photo editing and captioning are ignored in the upload process. Easy, but not painlessĪs easy as it is to get your photos into the cloud, it comes with a hefty price for Picasa users. It will eat into your total amount of available storage for your Google account. If you prefer, you can choose an uncompressed option, which lets you upload RAW files without any alterations. ![]() Did we mention that Google gives Photos users an unlimited amount of room on its servers? As long as your photos are under 16 megapixels in size, the compression that Photos performs should be virtually unnoticeable. It will take hours (or days) for all of your photos to make it to the cloud, but it happens in the background and doesn’t require any intervention on your part. To begin using Google Photos, simply download the Google Photos Backup tool, tell it where to look for your photos, and then let it do its thing. The company refers to it as “switching,” because that’s exactly how you have to think about it. That’s because - with the exception of the Web Albums feature described above - Google hasn’t created a migration path from one product to the other. There’s a reason why Google doesn’t use the term “migrate” when encouraging Picasa users to embrace Google Photos. Google has been silent on exactly when or how this could happen, though. You may also find that Picasa functions which require web connectivity, like the Order Prints or Publish to Blogger features, may fail to work at some point. You can view, download, or delete your Picasa Web Albums from the Photos interface, but as of May 1, you cannot create, organize, or edit them. If you’re curious what that will look like, simply log in to Google Photos with the Google account you used to create the web Album - and voila - they’re already there. If you’ve been taking advantage of Picasa’s free web Albums feature, as of the only way to access them is through Google Photos. If you go this route, my advice is to re-download the latest version of Picasa (3.9) for Mac or Windows right now and keep the installer somewhere safe - you never know when you may need to reinstall it and who knows how easy it will be to find later. If you want to keep using Picasa, you can absolutely do so. No, your photos won’t suddenly disappear and neither will the software itself. However, if you already have the software installed, it will continue to work. That means no more versions will be released, no bug fixes will be issued, and no support will be offered. ![]() Faceless menace decklist1/22/2024 ![]() ![]() Note that many of these additional Magic: the Gatheringcards are out of print as of this article, but can be obtained as single cards at local hobby stores or online. I have added twenty cards to replace the cards cut above, in order to further the Morph/Manifest themes imbued naturally in the deck. 1x Vraska the Unseen – slow removal, and not synergistic enough overallĬhoices for Additions, and Where to Obtain Them.1x Pendant of Prosperity – functionally detrimental (they should have printed this in Primal Genesis).1x Foul Orchard – easy to replace there are too many lands in these decks as a whole.The following twenty cards were selected to get the axe from Faceless Menace for a variety of reasons, ranging from a lack of utility, lack of synergy, or an overall superfluous nature. As such, we will be focusing on improving this deck with Kadena, Slinking Sorcerer as the commander in mind. If you'd like, you may use another commander, but as these commanders are often the most synergistic options in the precons, these ones are recommended. Choice of Commander for Faceless Menaceįor this series of articles (because yes, we will be covering all four decks in Commander 2019), we will be focusing on using the "face commander" of these preconstructed Magic: the Gathering decks, meaning the legendary creature featured in the packaging of the deck. With this in mind, we at Bleeding Cool have compiled a list of the twenty most pertinent additions to the Faceless Menace deck from Commander 2019, a deck which revolves around Morph as a mechanic. Commander encompasses both of these format types, and to drive this point home, the deck size for a Commander deck is 100 cards as opposed to a minimum of 60. This is also true for Singleton formats, where only one of most any given card is allowed in the deck. ![]() This is especially true for Eternal formats, where cards only amass and never exit the rotation of legality. So, it suffices to say that any deck in any format can be improved by introducing better cards to the deck. There is no necessary algorithm that can predict a winner out of a two-player game of Magic, largely due to the sheer amount of different individual cards in the game. Magic: the Gathering is an immensely multifaceted game, and according to studies is the most complex game currently known to man. ![]() Devonthink pro search within1/22/2024 ![]() ![]() With this in mind, here then are the best note taking apps for Mac of 2023 in order of ranking.

While many researchers favour the idea that she has Anatolian origins, it has been argued that "Hecate must have been a Greek goddess." Hecate possibly originated among the Carians of Anatolia, the region where most theophoric names invoking Hecate, such as Hecataeus or Hecatomnus, the father of Mausolus, are attested, and where Hecate remained a Great Goddess into historical times, at her unrivalled cult site in Lagina. The word "heka" in the Egyptian language is also both the word for "magic" and the name of the god of magic and medicine, Heka. Egyptian origin Ī strong possibility for the foreign origin of the name may be Heqet ( ḥqt), a frog-headed Egyptian goddess of fertility and childbirth, who, like Hecate, was also associated with ḥqꜣ, ruler. Beekes rejected a Greek etymology and suggested a Pre-Greek origin. ![]() Though often considered the most likely Greek origin of the name, the Ἑκατός theory does not account for her worship in Asia Minor, where her association with Artemis seems to have been a late development, and the competing theories that the attribution of darker aspects and magic to Hecate were themselves not originally part of her cult. Artemis would have, at that point, become more strongly associated with purity and maidenhood, on the one hand, while her originally darker attributes like her association with magic, the souls of the dead, and the night would have continued to be worshipped separately under her title Hecate. Supporters of this etymology suggest that Hecate was originally considered an aspect of Artemis prior to the latter's adoption into the Olympian pantheon. ![]() This has been suggested in comparison with the attributes of the goddess Artemis, strongly associated with Apollo and frequently equated with Hecate in the classical world. Another Greek word suggested as the origin of the name Hecate is Ἑκατός Hekatos, an obscure epithet of Apollo interpreted as "the far reaching one" or "the far-darter". However, no sources suggested list will or willingness as a major attribute of Hecate, which makes this possibility unlikely. For example, ἑκών "willing" (thus, "she who works her will" or similar), may be related to the name Hecate. Whether or not Hecate's worship originated in Greece, some scholars have suggested that the name derives from a Greek root, and several potential source words have been identified. The origin of the name Hecate (Ἑκάτη, Hekátē) and the original country of her worship are both unknown, though several theories have been proposed. Hecate was closely identified with Diana/ Artemis in the Roman era. The Romans often knew her by the epithet of Trivia, an epithet she shares with Diana, each in their roles as protector of travel and of the crossroads (trivia, "three ways"). Intrinsically ambivalent and polymorphous, she straddles conventional boundaries and eludes definition." Regarding the nature of her cult, it has been remarked, "she is more at home on the fringes than in the centre of Greek polytheism. In the post-Christian writings of the Chaldean Oracles (2nd–3rd century CE) she was also regarded with (some) rulership over earth, sea, and sky, as well as a more universal role as Savior ( Soteira), Mother of Angels and the Cosmic World Soul. Hecate was one of several deities worshipped in ancient Athens as a protector of the oikos (household), alongside Zeus, Hestia, Hermes, and Apollo. Her oldest known representation was found in Selinunte, in Sicily. Her place of origin is debated by scholars, but she had popular followings amongst the witches of Thessaly and an important sanctuary among the Carian Greeks of Asia Minor in Lagina. Her earliest appearance in literature was in Hesiod's Theogony in the 8th century BCE as a goddess of great honour with domains in sky, earth, and sea. She is variously associated with crossroads, entrance-ways, night, light, magic, protection from witchcraft, the Moon, knowledge of herbs and poisonous plants, graves, ghosts, necromancy, and sorcery. Hecate is a goddess in ancient Greek religion and mythology, most often shown holding a pair of torches, a key, or snakes, or accompanied by dogs, and in later periods depicted as three-formed or triple-bodied. Paired torches, dogs, serpents, keys, knives, and lions.Įreshkigal (used as an epithet in a late Greek magical text) The Hecate Chiaramonti, a Roman sculpture of triple-bodied Hecate, after a Hellenistic original ( Museo Chiaramonti, Vatican Museums) ![]() AuthorWrite something about yourself.
