Recovery Unplugged offers the full spectrum of services–detoxification, residential, Intensive Outpatient (IOP), Partial Hospitalization (PHP), and sober living. Music was playing from the detox center to the corporate offices. Music is everywhere! Every location that I visited had music playing and the genres ranged from hip-hop, alternative rock, to jazz. Each facility has a ‘stage’ and clients are encouraged to share and express themselves from the stage at different times. Music is powerful! Recovery Unplugged uses music to bypass defense mechanisms, build community, and to create healthy expressions of emotions. I can listen to a song and it can change my mood. One song can take me back to my childhood and I can remember all the details of an experience that was related to a particular song. Art, language, and music have been a part of all cultures since the beginning of time and which separates humans from all other species on our planet. This treatment program was started by a musician about 6 years ago in Florida which combines music into every aspect of their clinical care. The summer camps and other programs put on by the Botanical Garden go toward keeping the space available for Alaskans year-round.Last week I had the pleasure of visiting an amazing addiction treatment program in Ft Lauderdale, Florida– Recovery Unplugged (RU). “Plus, we have our cultivated gardens, but it’s just a beautiful, kind of relaxing place to be.” “There’s just kind of a spirit and a good feeling here, you’re walking into a forest,” Ryan said. Ryan said the camps at the Botanical Garden help kids gain a naturalist intelligence about the forest around them. He corrects Cecelia, and teaches her that she is actually holding a Birch Shield Bug - technically not a part of the stink bug family Pentatomidae - but they still release an odor when they are squished. Patrick Ryan has been helping lead the camps since he began working with the botanical garden nearly 20 years ago. “I found one on the table and I picked it up.” “When they’re scared they make a stinky smell,” Ross said. ![]() She was very excited.”Ĭecelia Ross is 6 years old and made a wanted poster for a stink bug as part of their lesson about helpful and harmful insects. “We made copies for all of our friends so they can pass them out.

A worm wriggles around in Lilly Anderson’s hand at the Insect Safari camp at the Anchorage Botanical Garden on the morning of Wednesday, June 21, 2023 “So we learned about mosquitos and they have like a saw on their nose and they cut into your skin and they spit on your skin and it’s so it doesn’t, you don’t feel it when they’re biting you,” Johnson said.Ĭounselors - or fairies, as the campers are told - hide plastic bugs throughout the botanical garden that kids find each morning, but some of the bugs are very real. She also rattled off some facts about one of Alaska’s most common insects. Eight-year-old Harbour Johnson said she learned how worms can turn soil into compost. Shriner said that after last summer, parents asked for a week of camp centered around insects. The insect safari camp is a new option on the schedule this year. They have a variety of outdoor camp offerings for kids from ages five to 15 that run through the first week of August. The Alaska Botanical Garden has been sponsoring summer day camps for about 20 years. Parents in Anchorage have dozens of camps to choose from. “If they are learning to love to be outside, to respect it, to be curious about it, to wonder, then that’s what I want them to walk away with,” Shriner said. She said parents want to send their kids somewhere they can stay unplugged in the woods all afternoon. Stacey Shriner leads the education department at the botanical garden. Some use microscopes to get a closer look at insects while others are coloring. Lunchtime just finished, and elementary-aged summer campers at the Alaska Botanical Garden are busy.

![]() ![]() KOPP2 was a finished game and they ruined it by shoving junk onto it. Paradox doesn't get that sometimes it's better to make a new game instead of just piling **** onto an old one. You create a game concept, you finish it to the point of feature completion, release it, then do DLC as additions to the base game, then eventually you make a new game. That's the right decision most of the time. KOPP2 is just another example of how Paradox can't seem to be able to finish a game and create a new one. This is evidenced in games like CK2, a game allegedly supposed to be about the middle ages which has now been absolutely stretched to the point that it's possible to mend the Great Schism before the Great Schism actually happens. Paradox doesn't seem to understand the basic methodology in software development that it's possible for a piece of software to reach "mature" status, i.e. We definitely pick up on the low opinion of us here. If you really wanted to keep the brand alive and growing a good DLC or KOPP3 would've been the answer. Paradox how can you let yourself be associated with this?!Įdit: The pitch that this is to "resurrect the brand" is insulting also. This is the business strategy of a knock-off EA wannabe. There is even an in-app purchase that is around $50 iirc, the price of a FULL AAA GAME, wrapped up in what was once a simple <$10 rpg. Shameless greed (aka the "reboot"), with the hope of swindling 8yr olds and gaming addicts out of a few dollars, has taken shape in the form of the odious "f2p" model. The great game we had paid for (cannot emphasize this part enough) has been reduced to ad and microtransaction laden garbage. The recent app store reviews are full of switches from 5 to 1 stars. I am honestly shocked at what I found had been done to this previously wonderful game! People need to be made aware that the old 5 star reviews DO NOT apply to the current state of the game. I just tried to play a new game after having beaten it awhile back and was unaware of what the "update" entailed. This also means that we will continue to update the game over the coming weeks with free updates providing a variety of things. We were therefore faced with a choice: let the game disappear into history or "re-boot" it and create a Free To Play version to attract new fans and resurrect the brand. But, as with all things, time takes its toll and we saw a decline in users numbers, sales and general interaction. The game had its glory days back when we first released it and it was very popular. Exactly what this will be remains a well guarded secret but expect more quests, items and game play in the weeks to come! Yes and no! The game is currently as awesome as it was before, however, we will be adding updates to the game moving forward. So does this mean the game will be the same as the old game? This can be restored by clicking the "Restore Purchases" button. It should also be noted that the amount you bought the game for is less than the value in gold that we are providing you with. As the game wasn't bought via us we can't actually do the refunds from our end. Please contact the Apple or Android store and ask them for the refund. ![]() Is it ideal? No, not at all, but it's sadly the way it has to be. ![]() It's not compatible with the new version of KoPP 2 and it's not possible to patch. To compensate for this we've provided you with a hefty amount of gold so you can purchase several things straight from the start without having to grind it back! All progress you've made, everything you've unlocked etc has been reset. That is sadly one of the sideeffects of the update. I just started my game and all my progress is gone! We know, it's coming! The certification process differs somewhat from that on the Android store. As you may or may not have noticed KoPP 2 is now Free to Play on mobile! This means that everyone can download and play the game without spending a dime, which is nice! We've compiled a short FAQ to answer some of most common questions. ![]() ![]() ![]()

In general, the circular-flow model is useful because it informs the creation of the supply and demand model. (For example, an income tax could be represented by a government entity being inserted between households and factor markets, and a tax on a producer could be represented by inserting government between firms and goods and services markets.) In the circular flow diagram with government, which of the following is a. Suppose that a city government decides to develop a public park. In the circular flow diagram with government, what does the government receive directly from households - Taxes. It’s interesting to note that there are four places where the government could be inserted into the model, and each point of intervention is realistic for some markets and not for others. 2.2 Circular Flow Model A good model to start within economics is the Circular Flow Diagram (Fig 2.1). In the circular flow diagram, what do firms provide to product markets - Goods and services. One could, however, extend this model to incorporate government intervention by inserting government between the households, firms, and markets. This model is simplified in a number of ways, most notably in that it represents a purely capitalistic economy with no role for government. In this episode of the Economic Lowdown Video Series, economic education specialist Scott Wolla explains the circular flow model. In the other side of the exchange, firms provide money to households as compensation for the use of factors of production, and this is represented by the direction of the arrows on the “SSSS” lines that connect to the “Factor Markets” box. Circular Flow Model - Economic Lowdown Video Series. Households provide labor, capital, and other factors of production to firms, and this is represented by the direction of the arrows on the “Labor, capital, land, etc.” lines on the diagram above. (Technically, employees can more accurately be thought of as being rented rather than being sold, but this is usually an unnecessary distinction.) Therefore, the functions of households and firms are reversed in factor markets as compared to in goods and services markets. supply) labor to firms, they can be thought of as the sellers of their time or work product. In factor markets, households and firms play different roles than they do in the markets for goods and services. Labor markets are the most commonly discussed form of a factor market, but it’s important to remember that factors of production can take many forms. Some examples of factors of production are labor (the work was done by people), capital (the machines used to makes products), land, and so on. ![]() The term “factors of production” refers to anything that is used by a firm in order to make a final product. Luckily, the goods and services markets don’t tell the whole story, and factor markets serve to complete the circular flow of money and resources. If markets for goods and services were the only markets available, firms would eventually have all of the money in an economy, households would have all of the finished products, and economic activity would stop. ![]() ![]() We found it pretty easy to download and set up the free version of this software during testing. (Image credit: LSoft Technologies) Image: Interface and use However, the server must be running the Windows Server operating system, and you must purchase the Professional package to use this feature. This software also lets you create image backups of physical servers. This way, you can be sure of having frequent backups even though you forget to do them manually or when you’re not close to your PC. This way, even if an attacker somehow breaks their way into your system, they have to contend with a password that prevents them from accessing your backup Disk Image enables users to set schedules ahead of time for backup tasks and have them run automatically. You can lock image files with passwords to provide an extra layer of protection and prevent unauthorized access. However, note that compression significantly slows down the backup process as it requires extra computing operations. ![]() You can choose the level of compression you want during a backup, either Normal, Fast, or High. Doing so saves storage space, and consequently, costs for users. This feature is a lifesaver if you ever experience data Disk Image employs data compression techniques to reduce the size of image files during backup. At the click of a button, you can restore the contents of your hard drive and have it working exactly as before. Similarly, you can use Disk Image to restore the image of any disk that you already have even though you didn’t perform the backup with the same software. One of the good features we observed in this software is that it lets you back up multiple drives simultaneously, making the process faster and more efficient. For example, you can just plug a USB drive into your PC and back up all its contents by storing them on a local file on your PC or another external USB drive or hard drive. You can also back up external hard drives connected to your computer. On the bright side, having only disk-level or partition-level backups removes the risk of overlooking important files. But, this software doesn't let you create backups at the file level, which we consider a disadvantage. You can back up specific partitions of a disk instead of the whole disk. Backing up, in this case, entails uploading the content to another storage medium such as a CD, DVD, USB, or another hard drive, from which you can retrieve it at any time. With this software, you can back up the contents of an internal hard drive at the click of a button. Hence, having such a backup eliminates the fears of losing data permanently if you’re the victim of data loss. No one is immune to data loss caused by errors or computer viruses. This software provides access to many valuable features, including ĭisk imaging is a type of backup that copies all the content of a hard drive's data into a single file that you can store on another device.
