Without the knowledge and skill of true time management, just about everyone struggles to stay focused.Why is this so? It’s because when someone wants to get better at managing their time, they will book into a one day time management course that teaches them how to set their goals, plan activities aimed at achieving them, how to plan their week and then how to plan their day.They leave this course all fired up, with all of this new knowledge and time management plan, arrive at work the next day ready to implement their plan and find that by the end of the day, they have struggled to achieve anything in their plan. This keeps happening all week and by the end of the second week, the plan and the course are just a memory and they are back to their old habits.Why does this happen?It’s because 1. Time management can’t be learnt in one day. 2. It is your thought patterns and habits that needs to change and very few if any time management workshops focus on this side of time management.There are two phases to time management training;1. Knowledge and process development.2. The ongoing knowledge consolidation and skill and habit forming process.These 2 phases are comprised of 4 key components;1. Planning2. Time Management3. Self-Discipline4. People Management Skills1. PlanningTime management is impossible if you don’t have a plan. The plan determines what activities are important to you and therefore have to be done first to achieve your goals in business and life. With a plan, you know where to best use your time.Steps to building your plana. Why – The planning process is about understanding why you do what you do. Understanding the Why is very important to helping you do and achieve what is really important to you and to keeping you focused during the tough times.b. Vision – The vision is the picture that you have in your head of what you want to achieve. Get it out on paper, it helps clarify and solidify what you want to achieve.c. Goals/Targets – Your main goals come from your vision, they are the targets you are looking for to achieve your vision. You can set your goals over 1, 3, 5, 10, 20 year time frames, however, if that seems unrealistic to you, just set yourself some goals for the next 12 months and focus on building a plan to achieve then.d. Quarterly Action Plan – This is the point where planning starts to cross into time management. In a quarterly action plan, you create a plan for the next 3 months. In this plan you set your goals for the quarter and each month of the quarter. You then set the activities that you will action in each week of the month to achieve those goals.2. Time ManagementTime Management is about setting your plans on a weekly and daily basis, determining which day and time activities will be carried out in.a. Weekly Planning – Using your quarterly action plan and dairy system, you plan which day activities from the action plan are to be completed on. You also plan in your appointments, family, social and any other activity you intend to carry out in that week.b. Daily Planning – is about scheduling in your activities for the day, creating a to-do list that you prioritise and then following those priorities no matter what. How you set your prioritisation of this list is very important, the way most courses teach you to prioritise is wrong and results in only today focused tasks to be completed and goals not achieved. Our method of prioritising tasks each day results in our clients getting more of the important activities actually completed on time.3. Self-DisciplineWithout self-discipline, creating new and better time management skills simply will not happen. The process has to start from within you.a. Avoiding Procrastination – There are many excuses as to why we put off doing things, but the simple fact is, each time we avoid doing something that is important, we are destroying our success. We need to learn how to control the way we think about various activities and complete them in their sequence of importance.b. Distractions – An inability to stay focused on an important activity for a pre-set amount of time prevents us from achieving the success we want. Allowing ourselves to be constantly distracted by an array of things such as emails, phone calls, SMS, new apps, new technology, social media, new shinny bright things etc, etc means it just takes longer and longer to do things.Each time you are distracted from doing something important, it takes 10 to 20 minutes to get back to presence you had before you were distracted. You need to create a methodology on how you let yourself be distracted for short periods of time in between the important activities.4. People Management SkillsOne of the biggest road blocks to achieving good time management skills and habits, is interruptions from other people. Team members, customers, suppliers, family etc. It’s important that you identify what interrupts you during your day, and create an action plan to eliminate those interruptions.There is a lot to learn about managing people, however from a time management perspective, there are some key things you need to learn that will help you get back hours in your day.a. Learn to teach your employee’s how to solve their own problems and make the decision you pay them to make, instead of coming to you all of the time. If you are someone that requires employees to come to for decisions and not make them themselves, you will always struggle with time management. It is not a good management style.b. Learn how to communicate with people effectively. Everyone has a primary behavioural style and a primary learning modality. When you learn to communicate with someone based on their primary behaviour style and learning modality, the communication is significantly more effective saving you enormous amounts of time.RecommendationAs you can see, learning how to create better time management skills is not a one day event. Gaining the base knowledge in each of these 4 areas can be done quickly, actually building a thorough knowledge and turning them into valuable skills takes much longer.The way to implement the development of your time management skills, is to incorporate into your goals and activity planning, the skills you identify need to be developed in the Self-Discipline and People Management Skills areas.I also recommend you have someone you meet with on a regular basis (at least monthly) who can help you further develop your knowledge and skills and keep you accountable for implementing your quarterly action plans </p><div class="mads-block"></div>]]></content:encoded> <wfw:commentRss>https://jukstms.info/why-do-people-struggle-with-time-management,html/feed</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>0</slash:comments> </item> <item> <title>Why Should I Do Home Improvements?</title> <link>https://jukstms.info/why-should-i-do-home-improvements,html</link> <comments>https://jukstms.info/why-should-i-do-home-improvements,html#comments</comments> <pubDate>Fri, 07 Apr 2023 20:38:08 +0000</pubDate> <dc:creator>admin</dc:creator> <category><![CDATA[Home Improvement]]></category> <guid isPermaLink="false">http://jukstms.info/?p=73</guid> <description><![CDATA[There are several different reasons improvements are done and you will find that they are very time consuming.

They are however usually worth the energy and time that you put in to them and you are bound to appreciate the outcome. An improvements is basically altering and changing the home.The exterior and interior of a home can undergo improvements. Enhancing the beauty and value of a home is just one reason for improvements, they can also be done to repair any damages. Adding more space and making the home safer is anther reason for home improvements.Some of the types of improvements done to make your home prettier is interior design type projects. This projects include painting and wallpapering the walls or ceilings, adding new flooring, or upgrading and adding doors and widows. You can add beauty and style to your home by doing these improvements. Improvements can often be as little as changing a blown light bulb or even as big as rebuilding the home after a disaster.Home improvement prices can change drastically. A common improvement that is done is changing the kitchen or bathrooms of a home. Some homes may not have the cabinet space they need therefore extra cabinets need to be added. Some improvements involved upgrading to elegant fixtures in the bathrooms or kitchen. You can find gorgeous fixtures very affordable.When doing improvements to repair damages these can include electrical fixes or upgrades, plumbing repairs, or roof replacement. Of course these are not the only things people have to repair around their homes.

Traditionally, Art Techniques include Music, Painting, Sculptures, and Literature to name some. In addition, if anything is done technically well, owing to innate skills, or learnt by study and practice, it is said to be an Art such as, Cooking, , driving, or even Grooming. In effect, we can say that Artistry is a sum of Art Techniques employed to bring out the Beauty, Taste, and the Symbolism of an artwork. Art also illustrates abstract thoughts and expressions. Aptly put by Leo Tolstoy, “Art is not a handicraft. It is the transmission of feelings the artist has experienced.”As mentioned above, you need to employ the right Techniques of Art to bring out the complete objective if an artwork. The ensuing discussion explores Arts Techniques in Chronological Order.Paleolithic Era Arts Techniques were being used since the Paleolithic Era (Stone Age – 40,000 years ago). Several Sculptures, Cave Paintings, Drilled Snail Shells (from S. Africa) were found in excavations. The Technique of Art used during that period were, Carving (mainly on bones & stones) and Paintings (on the walls of caves). The colors used in those days included Blood, Charcoal, Soil, Juices of Flower Petals, and Leaves.Mesolithic Era In the Mesolithic Period (Middle Stone Age), art forms changed owing to environmental developments and people’s adaptations to these changes. Poetry was seen, but it was severely practical than artistic. As Arrowhead was invented, most of the art works were in Carving. Pointed Tools made from Flint, Obsidian, and other Minerals were used. Cave Paintings moved out of Caves to the surfaces of natural Rocks.Neolithic Era New Art Techniques emerged in this era. These include Weaving, Architecture, and the construction of Megaliths to mention a few.Middle Age In the Middle Age (480 to 751 A.D.), Art evolved drastically. These art forms are now gracing various museums such as, Kimbell Art Museum, Russia’s Pushkin Museum of Fine Arts and Berlin’s Museum for Pre and Early History. In the purview of this age, Art can be categorized as Early Christian Art, Migration Period Art, Celtic Art, Byzantine Art, Islamic Art, Pre-Romanesque & Romanesque Art, and Gothic Art. Many of these Art Techniques are lasting until date. The Art Techniques used in this period were:o Ceramic (use of traditional Clay for Pottery, Bricks, & Tiles)<br />o Mosaic (creation of Small Images using the small pieces of Colored Glass)<br />o Pottery (Clay Objects of required shape, heated to give strength. Materials used – Earthenware, Stoneware, & Porcelain)<br />o Lusterware (a type of Pottery with Metallic Glaze that gives iridescent effect)o Manuscript (a Handwritten Document, not allowed to reprint)<br />o Book Binding (a process of assembling the sheets of Paper to form a Book)<br />o Calligraphy (the art of Writing, described as Scripts & Alphabets)<br />o Illuminated Manuscripts (Manuscripts, which include text along with decoration)o Prints<br />o Engraving (incising hard flat surface by cutting grooves into it. Silver, Gold, Glass, Steel & Lacquer surfaces were engraved)<br />o Metal cut (an Art Technique in Print Making in which an image is embossed on a Metallic Surface)<br />o Woodcut (an Art Technique in Print Making in which an image is carved on a Wooden Surface)o Metalworko Sculpture<br />o Niello (Black Metallic Alloy of Sulfur, Copper, Silver, & Lead, used as an Inlay on Engraved Metal)<br />§ Jewelry (Personal Ornaments made of precious Metals and Stones)o Paintingo Fresco (Painting done on the Plaster of Walls or Ceilings)o Textiles<br />o Carpet<br />o Medieval clothing<br />o Chaperon (a kind of Hat worn in Western Europe in the Middle Age)<br />o Silk<br />o WeavingModern Age Modern Age (751 A.D. to Present) offers enormous Art Techniques, which include some of the continuing art forms of previous era. The best part is that the present times offer many display options to show up the artworks. Televisions, Magazines, Computers, Radio, Music Players, and many such technology forums have provided a huge platform for the present day artists to show their talent. The Modern Art is a combination of New Age Art and most of the Middle Age Art. The exploration of newer Art Techniques continue to be invented every now and then. Some of the most popular Art Techniques of Modern Age include but are not limited to Animation, Printing Techniques, New Age Architectures, Performance Art, Video Art, Multi-Media Art, Photography, and Abstract Art, to name just some. </p>]]></content:encoded> <wfw:commentRss>https://jukstms.info/art-techniques-the-types-and-their-philosophy,html/feed</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>0</slash:comments> </item> <item> <title>Health Care Review</title> <link>https://jukstms.info/health-care-review,html</link> <comments>https://jukstms.info/health-care-review,html#comments</comments> <pubDate>Tue, 04 Apr 2023 21:45:26 +0000</pubDate> <dc:creator>admin</dc:creator> <category><![CDATA[Uncategorized]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Acne]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Anti Aging]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Beauty]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Cosmetic Surgery]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Diabetes]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Drug Abuse]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Health and Fitness]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Massage]]></category> <category><![CDATA[meditation]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Nutrition]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Personal Training]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Popular Diets]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Skin Care]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Spa and Wellness]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Speech Pathology]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Weight Loss]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Yoga]]></category> <guid isPermaLink="false">http://jukstms.info/?p=69</guid> <description><![CDATA[HEALTH AND DISEASEThe concept of Health is somewhat difficult to understand.

When we say a person is healthy, it means to the lay man that the person is normally doing his activities and does not outwardly show any signs of any disease in him. However, for the medical man it denotes the conformity to certain standards like physical measurements, biochemical norms and rates, physiological standards, etc. Even these standards vary with race, rest, exercise, food, habits, starvation, climate, altitude, latitude, etc. It has been extremely difficult for scientists concerned with human biology to lay definite criteria for health and define the term Health in a specific manner.From the history of medicine we know that there have been various systems of medicine or healing arts evolved in different parts of the world during different civilizations. But in no system has there been a clear-cut definition of health.In the oxford dictionary health means the state of being free from sickness, injury or disease, bodily conditions; something indicating good bodily condition. A few decades ago this meaning was conveyed in the definition of health but recently the World Health Organization have considered it necessary to give a direction towards the achievement of a robust and happy and active bodily and mental condition capable of continuous productive ability and, therefore, have defined health as follows:”Health is a state of complete physical, mental and social well being and not merely an absence of disease or infirmity.” (WHO—1948) it will be seen that even after having this definition it will be difficult to conceptualise and standardise positive health with specific clear-cut attributes and criteria for measurement. A person may be enjoying mental equanimity and enthusiasm for doing anything. He may also be physically able to do any amount of work, but he may be having some minor dysfunction or deficiency or even a mild infection causing a very minor disturbance which however does not upset his normal activities.For example, Hyper pigmentation on the skin or lack of pigmentation on the skin; angular stomatitis due to B complex deficiency; a ring-worm patch on the skin, etc. In these conditions strictly speaking the person cannot be called ‘health’ but for outward purpose he will appear healthy and he will also be fully active. Similarly, under the mental component there are ever so many stresses and strains that an individual is exposed to and depending on his own mental make-up he is either able to overcome the strain or suffers from worry and depression. If in spite of his worry he is able to function normally others may take him to be healthy, whereas the worry may normally be making him mentally unsound.Social well-being is very much related to the mental adjustment of the individual to others around him in the family or in the community. Sometimes it may so happen that a person may find it had to adjust with his group and may, therefore, be under a mental strain. But he may be doing his work normally from which others would judge him to be healthy. It is only if he reaches a break-point and behaves either in a withdrawn manner or becomes aggressive that his mental condition will become manifest to be seen and experienced by others.We have, therefore, to understand that the term health is not an abstract thing but a relative concept. In it we see a continuum of freedom from sickness to better health and positive health. When we say positive health we refer to a condition in which the body has sufficient reserve nutrition and resistant factors to prevent the invasion of the body by any micro-organism or by the deprivation of any nutritional factors causing a deficiency pathology and, therefore, completely free from disease.Disease is a little less difficult to define than Health. It denotes the condition of the human body in which something has gone wrong and has upset the Norman functions of the body including the mind. As in health there is also a continuum from a predisposition or premonition of illness which may or may not be experienced or noticed even by the individual concerned, to a definite condition of illness manifested by signs or symptoms and impairment of body functions.This continuum may further extend from mild sickness to severe sickness and death or recovery from sickness back to a debilitated condition and later to a normal condition.As has been pointed out in the previous paragraphs the normally of health of person may shift towards positive health depending on the improvement of health by wholesome food, wholesome water proper living conditions, proper work atmosphere, good personal hygiene, etc., or the deterioration of health due to faulty or inadequate food, infection through food, water or air, skin or due to external injuries, accident etc.For maintenance of good health the following things are essential:1. Adequate quantities of proper nutrition<br />2. Adequate quantities of safe drinking water<br />3. Proper shelter with adequate ventilation and lighting<br />4. Proper clothing<br />5. Proper work, exercise and rest and recreation<br />6. Proper social conditions for a harmonious existence and work<br />7. Proper security from fear of any kind<br />8. Proper sexual behavior<br />9. Personal hygiene<br />10. Provision and utilization of health services.Disease can be due to say one or more of the following causes:1. Genetic traits<br />2. Congenital deformity or malformation<br />3. Cancer<br />4. Malnutrition<br />5. PoisonsThe above are the direct causes.The science of epidemiology employs various methods and approaches to explore, investigate, identify and establish the cause of disease as against maintenance of health in the individual, in the community and in a geographical area. Modern epidemiology has revealed a multiple causation theory for most of the diseases. The direct or immediate causes may be congenital, traumatic, infection or cancerous growth, etc. But besides these direct causes, many indirect and predisposing causes have been described,For example, tuberculosis is caused by the tubercule bacilli, called myco bacterium tuberculosis, this is the direct cause. The other causes which predispose a person to the infection by tubercule bacillus may be overcrowding, poor nutrition, bad ventilation, heavy work, fatigue, etc. It may be appreciated that these causes are socio-economic causes. The economic factors arising out of poor means of livelihood, inadequate food, etc., are also inter-related with human and social factors like bad ways of living, customs, habits, beliefs, superstitions, etc. Taking another example, malnutrition may be due to either lack of availability of nutritious food in adequate quantities or the wrong practices of preparation of food in which nutrients may be wasted. The economic factors may be the cause for non-accessibility and the social factors may be the cause of wastage of nutrition even after the food stuffs are available or on the contrary over eating and addiction to alcohol, etc., causing metabolic disorder. In the rural countryside we have a lot of locally available food resources but the habits may be such that the people do not know what can be eaten and how, for deriving nutrition.The human and social factors are very predominant determinants in any society or community. In affluent countries many of the metabolic diseases like obesity, heart diseases, diseases due to air pollution, etc., are on the increase due to social customs. In the poor countries the large number of communicable diseases and nutritional deficiencies are due to poor sanitation, poor hygiene and low and faulty intake of food. These are again in turn due to economic and social factors.Study of human behavior is extremely important in public health and in any community oriented programme. The mere opening and establishment of hospitals or clinics or treatment centers by any government or voluntary agencies does not immediately ensure that all the people will use the facilities whenever they fall sick. For a person to seek treatment for a particular illness from a doctor or an institution the following stages of human behavior are expected to take place.Social psychology has a very prominent place as a diagnostic tool in the beginning of the programme and also as a tool of evaluation where the programme is under progress or at its termination. For example, in the control of Cholera or any gastro enteric infection, it will be futile to introduce any sanitation programme unless the people know the causative factor and the mode of transmission of infection. There may be need to improve the water supply, provide proper excreta disposal, food hygiene and personal hygiene. All these things involve a scientific awareness of the reasoning behind each measure or practice and a change of behavior accordingly. </p>]]></content:encoded> <wfw:commentRss>https://jukstms.info/health-care-review,html/feed</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>0</slash:comments> </item> <item> <title>Farmers Insurance – The Protection Worths the Extra Dollars Spent</title> <link>https://jukstms.info/farmers-insurance-the-protection-worths-the-extra-dollars-spent,html</link> <comments>https://jukstms.info/farmers-insurance-the-protection-worths-the-extra-dollars-spent,html#comments</comments> <pubDate>Tue, 04 Apr 2023 18:24:25 +0000</pubDate> <dc:creator>admin</dc:creator> <category><![CDATA[Uncategorized]]></category> <category><![CDATA[cheap car insurance]]></category> <guid isPermaLink="false">http://jukstms.info/?p=66</guid> <description><![CDATA[For farmers, money is often tight.

A farmer is at the mercy of the elements, and his or her crop is what feeds his or her entire family. Losing a crop is a terrible thing, but so is losing the equipment that is required to tend to that crop.For farmers, there is protection against at least a little of that danger, and the protection is well worth the extra dollars spent. It may mean tightening a belt or two to funnel extra money into farming insurance, but the extra effort is worth the rewards should something happen to your livelihood.A hailstorm could ruin an entire crop, but your farming insurance will help you to recover from what would otherwise be a debilitating loss to your finances and your way of life. The protection offered through the farming insurance might mean that your farm is saved to plant again next year.Damage to your equipment can be almost as debilitating, if not more so, than damage to the plants that are your life. A tractor that stops running is as much use as a pile of dung in your fields, but your farming insurance can help you to repair or replace the tractor. The same protection extends to the truck that you use to haul farm equipment or the trailer that you transport your animals in.If you are a rancher then your cattle are protected under a similar policy, meaning that should they become too sick to sell, you will be covered for your losses. Your transport vehicles are protected, and your life can go on as normal after what would normally be a terrible disaster.Farming insurance also protects your outbuildings from things like fire and flood, almost like a home owner’s policy for your barn. The outbuildings themselves and all of their contents should be protected from damage by your farming insurance policy, so that you can rebuild quickly should disaster strike.Irrigation equipment is also covered under most farming insurance policies, so that if someone takes a detour through your fields and damages your equipment, you are protected. Many farming insurance policies also cover liability insurance, meaning that if someone (like a crop picker or a child on a tour of your farm) is injured while on your property, you are protected from having to pay for the treatment of the injured party.Protecting yourself from these eventualities now might seem like a waste of money that could be spent elsewhere, but when the worst happens you will be more than glad for the protection that you are offered. A little money spent every month now can be the difference between having a hitch in your giddiup and complete ruin.That little bit of extra money offers protection from so many diverse disasters, from the ruin of your crops to the death of your animals. The protection ranges from your equipment to your farming vehicles, and covers everything from your outbuildings to your irrigation systems. Farming insurance protects you from disaster.Check with a local insurance agent to see what you can protect, and what is covered in the best policy for you. Every state has different insurance rules, and each state has a different policy on what crops are insurable on a local level. Spend the money now, and your trees/grape vines/corn are safe for tomorrow. </p>]]></content:encoded> <wfw:commentRss>https://jukstms.info/farmers-insurance-the-protection-worths-the-extra-dollars-spent,html/feed</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>0</slash:comments> </item> <item> <title>The Impact of Aftermarket Car Parts on Vehicle Performance and Safety</title> <link>https://jukstms.info/the-impact-of-aftermarket-car-parts-on-vehicle-performance-and-safety,html</link> <comments>https://jukstms.info/the-impact-of-aftermarket-car-parts-on-vehicle-performance-and-safety,html#comments</comments> <pubDate>Mon, 27 Mar 2023 05:03:35 +0000</pubDate> <dc:creator>admin</dc:creator> <category><![CDATA[Uncategorized]]></category> <guid isPermaLink="false">http://jukstms.info/?p=63</guid> <description><![CDATA[As car enthusiasts, it’s natural to want to personalize and upgrade our vehicles to make them stand out from the crowd.

In this essay, we will explore the history of auto windshields, their importance, and how to repair them.</p><p>History of Auto Windshields</p><p>The earliest cars did not have windshields. Drivers were exposed to the elements, and dust, dirt, and bugs would fly into their faces. In the early 1900s, automakers began to add windshields made of plate glass, which provided some protection but were prone to shattering.</p><p>In the 1920s, manufacturers started using laminated glass for windshields. This type of glass consists of two sheets of glass bonded together with a layer of plastic in between. Laminated glass is much stronger and safer than plate glass because it does not shatter upon impact.</p><p>In the 1960s, tempered glass was introduced for side and rear windows. Tempered glass is heat-treated to make it stronger and more resistant to impact. It is designed to shatter into small, harmless pieces upon impact, reducing the risk of injury.</p><p>Importance of Auto Windshields</p><p>Auto windshields serve several important functions. First and foremost, they protect drivers and passengers from the elements. Without a windshield, drivers would be exposed to wind, rain, and debris, which could cause distractions and impair visibility.</p><p>In addition to providing protection from the elements, windshields play a critical role in vehicle safety. Windshields are designed to prevent occupants from being ejected from the vehicle in the event of an accident. They also serve as a barrier between occupants and flying debris, which can cause serious injuries.</p><p>Windshields also play a key role in airbag deployment. In many cars, the passenger-side airbag is designed to deploy upward, hitting the windshield before it reaches the occupant. This helps to prevent injuries by slowing down the speed at which the airbag deploys.</p><p>How to Repair Auto Windshields</p><p>Auto windshields can be damaged by rocks, debris, and accidents. Minor chips and cracks can often be repaired, but more significant damage will require windshield replacement.</p><p>When it comes to repairing auto windshields, time is of the essence. Even a small chip can quickly spread into a larger crack, making it more difficult to repair. If you notice a chip or crack in your windshield, it’s important to take action right away.</p><p>The first step in repairing a windshield is to assess the damage. Chips and cracks that are smaller than a quarter and less than a few inches long are usually repairable. However, cracks that extend from the edge of the windshield or directly in the driver’s line of sight are not repairable and require replacement.</p><p>To repair a windshield, a technician will inject a special resin into the damaged area. The resin is then cured using UV light, which hardens and strengthens the damaged area. The resin is then polished, leaving a nearly invisible repair.</p><p>The cost of repairing a windshield varies depending on the size and location of the damage. Typically, repairing a chip costs between $60 and $100, while repairing a crack can cost upwards of $125. Some insurance policies cover windshield repairs with no deductible, making it an affordable option for drivers.</p><p>Conclusion</p><p>Auto windshields have come a long way since the early days of the automobile. Today, they are a critical safety feature that protects drivers and passengers from the elements and flying debris. If you notice a chip or crack in your windshield, it’s important to have it repaired right away to ensure your safety on the road. With the right care and maintenance, your windshield can provide many years of reliable service.</p>]]></content:encoded> <wfw:commentRss>https://jukstms.info/all-you-should-know-about-auto-windshields,html/feed</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>0</slash:comments> </item> <item> <title>How to Use Cardamom: A Guide to Understanding this Aromatic Spice</title> <link>https://jukstms.info/how-to-use-cardamom-a-guide-to-understanding-this-aromatic-spice,html</link> <comments>https://jukstms.info/how-to-use-cardamom-a-guide-to-understanding-this-aromatic-spice,html#comments</comments> <pubDate>Mon, 27 Mar 2023 05:02:55 +0000</pubDate> <dc:creator>admin</dc:creator> <category><![CDATA[Uncategorized]]></category> <guid isPermaLink="false">http://jukstms.info/?p=56</guid> <description><![CDATA[Cardamom is an aromatic spice that has been used for centuries in cooking, baking, and even medicine.

It has a unique flavor profile that is warm, sweet, and slightly spicy, making it a popular ingredient in many different cuisines around the world. If you’ve never used cardamom before, it can be a bit intimidating to know where to start. In this guide, we’ll explore the many uses of cardamom and provide some tips and tricks for incorporating it into your cooking.</p><p>Types of Cardamom:</p><p>There are two main types of cardamom: green and black. Green cardamom is the most commonly used variety and is often referred to as “true cardamom.” It has a bright, fresh flavor that pairs well with sweet and savory dishes. Black cardamom, on the other hand, has a smoky, earthy flavor that is more commonly used in savory dishes, particularly in Indian and Southeast Asian cuisines.</p><p>Whole Cardamom Pods:</p><p>Whole cardamom pods are the most common form of the spice and are readily available at most grocery stores. The pods are small, green, and about the size of a pea. To use them, simply crack open the pods to reveal the small black seeds inside. These seeds can be used whole or ground into a powder using a spice grinder or mortar and pestle. Whole cardamom pods are great for infusing flavor into rice dishes, curries, and stews.</p><p>Ground Cardamom</p><p>Ground cardamom is a convenient way to add the spice to baked goods and desserts. It’s also a great addition to coffee and tea. When buying ground cardamom, look for high-quality brands that are fresh and fragrant. Ground cardamom can quickly lose its flavor, so it’s best to buy small quantities and use it up quickly.</p><p>Cardamom Oil:</p><p>Cardamom oil is a highly concentrated form of the spice that is often used in perfumes, cosmetics, and aromatherapy. It can also be used in cooking, but should be used sparingly as it is very potent. Cardamom oil is typically sold in small bottles and can be found at specialty food stores or online.</p><p>How to Use Cardamom:</p><p>Cardamom is a versatile spice that can be used in many different ways. Here are a few ideas to get you started:</p><p>Baked Goods:</p><p>Cardamom is a popular ingredient in many baked goods, particularly in Scandinavian and Middle Eastern cuisines. It pairs well with cinnamon, nutmeg, and other warm spices. Try adding a pinch of cardamom to your favorite muffin, bread, or cake recipe for a unique flavor boost.</p><p>Rice Dishes</p><p>Cardamom is commonly used to flavor rice dishes, particularly in Indian and Middle Eastern cuisines. To infuse rice with cardamom flavor, simply add a few whole pods to the pot while the rice is cooking. The pods can be removed before serving.</p><p>Curries and Stews:</p><p>Cardamom adds depth and complexity to curries and stews. It pairs well with other warm spices like cumin, coriander, and turmeric. Try adding a few whole pods or a pinch of ground cardamom to your next curry or stew recipe.</p><p>Coffee and Tea:</p><p>Cardamom is a popular addition to coffee and tea in Middle Eastern and Scandinavian cultures. Simply add a pinch of ground cardamom to your coffee or tea before brewing for a unique flavor twist.</p><p>Smoothies:</p><p>Cardamom can add a warm, spicy note to smoothies. Try adding a pinch of ground cardamom to your favorite fruit smoothie recipe for a unique flavor boost.</p><p>Cardamom is a versatile spice that can add depth and complexity to a variety of dishes. Whether you’re using whole pods or ground cardamom, this aromatic spice is a great addition to your pantry. Experiment with different recipes and techniques to discover the many ways that cardamom can enhance your cooking.</p><p>When buying cardamom, look for high-quality brands that are fresh and fragrant. Whole pods should be plump and green, with no signs of mold or discoloration. Ground cardamom should be fine and fragrant, with no clumps or lumps.</p><p>When using whole cardamom pods, it’s important to crack them open before using them. This will release the small black seeds inside, which are the part of the spice that is used in cooking. To do this, simply crush the pods with a rolling pin or the back of a knife, then remove the seeds.</p><p>When using ground cardamom, remember that a little goes a long way. Start with a small amount and add more as needed, tasting as you go. Ground cardamom can quickly overpower other flavors, so use it sparingly.</p><p>Cardamom oil should be used very sparingly, as it is highly concentrated. A drop or two is all you need to add cardamom flavor to a dish. Be sure to choose high-quality oil that is safe for consumption.</p><p>In addition to its culinary uses, cardamom has also been used for centuries in traditional medicine. It is believed to have many health benefits, including aiding digestion, reducing inflammation, and improving oral health. While more research is needed to confirm these benefits, incorporating cardamom into your diet is a great way to explore its many flavors and potential health benefits.</p><p>In conclusion, cardamom is a versatile spice that can add warmth, sweetness, and spice to a variety of dishes. Whether you’re using whole pods or ground cardamom, this aromatic spice is a great addition to your cooking arsenal. Experiment with different recipes and techniques to discover the many ways that cardamom can enhance your cooking.</p>]]></content:encoded> <wfw:commentRss>https://jukstms.info/how-to-use-cardamom-a-guide-to-understanding-this-aromatic-spice,html/feed</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>0</slash:comments> </item> <item> <title>Salvation By Repentance and Belief: Did Christ provide for the forgiveness of sins on the cross?</title> <link>https://jukstms.info/salvation-by-repentance-and-belief-did-christ-provide-for-the-forgiveness-of-sins-on-the-cross,html</link> <comments>https://jukstms.info/salvation-by-repentance-and-belief-did-christ-provide-for-the-forgiveness-of-sins-on-the-cross,html#comments</comments> <pubDate>Mon, 27 Mar 2023 05:02:42 +0000</pubDate> <dc:creator>admin</dc:creator> <category><![CDATA[Uncategorized]]></category> <guid isPermaLink="false">http://jukstms.info/?p=57</guid> <description><![CDATA[Salvation by Repentance and Belief: Did Christ Provide for the Forgiveness of Sins on the Cross?

But what about forgiveness? Were all of these sins forgiven at this time?</p><p>Let’s begin by looking at the ultimate example of expressing forgiveness, i.e., of Christ on the cross toward His persecutors.</p><p>Suggested Reading: Luke 23:33-46 </p><p>Christ and two others were hanging on a cross at a place called Calvary (kranion), the Greek word for Golgotha – the place of a skull. He was placed between two thieves as if to imply that He was the worst of the three transgressors. The superscription above His head, which indicated His crime was, “This is the King of the Jews.” It was written in the three learned languages of Greek, Latin, and Hebrew.</p><p>During the time when the Jews entered the Promised Land, the land of Canaan while operating under the institution of the Mosaic Law, it was common for an executed person to be publicly displayed by hanging him from the stakes of a stockade wall. This was done to discourage civil disobedience and mock defeated military foes. Another method that the Jews employed for carrying out a death sentence was stoning. After someone was killed in this manner, the person was placed on a tree “hanging” for public display. People so shown after execution by stoning for breaking Israel’s Law were said to be cursed of God. Later, the stake or cross came to be used as a means of civil and military punishment for persons convicted as enemies of the state (foreign soldiers, rebels, spies, treason, desertion in the face of the enemy, robbery, piracy, assassination, sedition, etc.).</p><p>When Christ lived on the earth, the Sanhedrin (judicial system of the Jews) had four forms of capital punishment: stoning, burning, beheading, and strangling. However, the Roman judicial system took away from them the power of inflicting capital punishment. (Sanhedrin, 1, beginning; 7,2, p.24). This simply meant that without the confirmation of the sentence on the part of the Roman procurator, the Jews had no power to carry out the sentence of the court. And, by the way, Roman citizens were exempt from crucifixion, the use of which was abolished under Emperor Constantine in about 300 AD.</p><p>Regarding the coming Messiah, the Jews were looking for someone who would deliver them from Roman rule. If Jesus were who He said He was, He’d not only deliver Himself from the Romans that had Him now in their hands, but He’d also deliver the Jews from Roman rule. Obviously, He did neither. Therefore, they prosecuted Him under the misplaced notion that He was a pretended Messiah. He was placed on a cross and sentenced to die for blasphemy, i.e., for claiming to be someone that, according to the Jews, He was not.</p><p>Luke 23:33-34, 44 And when they were come to the place, which is called Calvary, there they crucified him, and the malefactors, one on the right hand, and the other on the left. Then said Jesus, Father, forgive them; for they know not what they do. And they parted his raiment, and cast lots. And it was about the sixth hour, and there was a darkness over all the earth until the ninth hour. </p><p>Jesus, along with two others, were placed on crosses. In pertaining to forgiveness, at some point, He made this statement, Father, forgive them; for they know not what they do. The word forgive means to give up a debt. It also means not exacting punishment with the view toward salvation. Some would say that this prayer was not referring to the sin whose debt was paid for on the cross, but an attitude expressed toward both the Jewish high priests and Roman soldiers, who ignorantly falsely convicted and physically abused Him, and as such, were themselves accountable for the prescribed penalty under the Mosaic Law. According to this perspective, Jesus was asking the Father not to inflict punishment on them concerning their transgressions.</p><p>Jesus, later in the day, would die for all sin on the cross. However, this prayer for forgiveness, they would argue, didn’t pertain to all of these sins for which He would die, but only for the sins of those who falsely accused and convicted Him. Is this true? Let’s find out.</p><p>Please go to the book of Colossians.</p><p>Colossians 2:13</p><p>And you, being dead in your sins and the uncircumcision of your flesh, hath he quickened together with him, having forgiven you all trespasses;</p><p>If you read this verse without Greek glasses on, it would say something like this. And you, the believers at Colossae, who were at one time spiritually dead in your sins and the uncircumcision (sin nature) of your flesh (body) of which uncircumcision is a sign, he (God the Holy Spirit) has quickened (made alive) them together with him (Christ), having forgiven (wiped away) all of your trespasses (all deviation from truth). This appears to be saying that when you were made alive with Christ, your sins were forgiven.</p><p>Some would infer that this occurred at salvation when they, as unbelievers, were baptized in water. Others would say that this occurs following repentance of one’s sins and belief in Christ as to who He is and what He has accomplished. By the way, neither is the case. Huh?</p><p>As I said initially, you need to have Greek glasses on to understand what is meant by the words having forgiven. Here’s what I mean. Most of the original New Testament manuscripts were written in what was called Koine Greek, the common language of the people at that time, with a small amount expressed in Aramaic. These words, by the way, having forgiven are classified as being an Aorist Middle Participle.</p><p>When a verse was translated into English, sometimes the structure of the sentence appeared to be saying one thing when it actually wasn’t. This is particularly the case when a participle appears in Scripture in the aorist tense. First of all, what is a participle? We looked at this earlier in this study but I’m going to repeat it here because it provides clarity in respect to this topic.</p><p>A participle is known as a verbal noun and denotes why someone is doing something or why something is being done. What is meant by the aorist tense? The aorist tense tells us what kind of action is being expressed by the verb. In this case, the Aorist tense denotes action as occurring at a point in time. The middle or middle voice means that the subject isn’t only an agent of the action of the verb but also receives the results.</p><p>In a scriptural verse, if we can identify these two things happening together, i.e., what is known as an Aorist Participle (as a verbal adjective), then what this is telling us is that the action of the minor verb precedes the action of the main verb or verbs in the verse of Scripture. Thus, we’ll be brought to an awareness of something happening before something else has taken place that we weren’t able to tell from the English translation. Make sense?</p><p>So, the minor verb, having forgiven, you guessed it, is an Aorist Participle, which tells us that this action occurred before the action of the main verb, quickened. And here is the wowza. I know it’s not a real word, please excuse me. All of the sins of the Corinthian believers were forgiven before they were quickened (made alive) with Christ. Another way of saying this is that it was on the basis that the sins of the Colossian believers were already forgiven (by inference at the cross) that they were allowed to be quickened (made alive) with Christ. Therefore, what we could deduce from this is that if the sins that Christ bore on the cross weren’t forgiven, then no unbeliever would be allowed to be quickened with Him. Did you get that? If this were the case, then no one could be saved.</p><p>Please go to the book of 2 Corinthians, and we’ll take a look at another Scripture in this regard.</p><p>2 Corinthians 5:19</p><p>To wit, that God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto himself, not imputing their trespasses unto them; and hath committed unto us the word of reconciliation.</p><p>God the Father reconciled the world (everyone) unto Himself by the death of His Son on the cross. Reconciliation in this context doesn’t imply universal salvation. It means that the enmity between God and man, sin, which began the instant when Adam ate of the tree of knowledge of Good and Evil in the Garden of Eden, was placed on His Son, who became a sin offering for all mankind (the sin of the world, past, present, and future were placed on Him meaning that He bore the punishment due to them in His body).</p><p>Furthermore, we’re told that God the Father did not impute the trespasses of sins against anyone of the human race. The words not imputing with respect to transgressions (sins) have a few meanings. It means to not punish them with unmitigated severity for their crimes;76 to not count against … not keeping of records of commercial accounts,…not to keep a mental record of; …not keep an account of human failings.77 To sum this up, God the Father, through Christ’s suffering and death on the cross, obtained pardon and forgiveness of sin for everyone. This is called the unlimited atonement. </p><p>Are there any other verses that indicate that the forgiveness of sins took place on the cross?</p><p>Hebrews 9:24-26</p><p>24-25 For Christ is not entered into the holy places made with hands, which are the figures of the true; but into heaven itself, now to appear in the presence of God for us: Nor yet that he should offer himself often, as the high priest entereth into the holy place every year with blood of others;</p><p>These verses contrast the Old Testament animal sacrifices with the one sacrifice of Christ. And what they convey to us is this. Christ isn’t entered into the man-made place, i.e., the Holy of Holies, the inner sanctuary of the tabernacle or temple. This is simply the antitype or copy of the true sanctuary, the heavenly sanctuary where He presented Himself before God the Father on our behalf. He didn’t act as an earthly high priest who offered himself for sin over and over again with sacrificial blood once a year on an annual basis. But, at the conclusion of the Jewish dispensation, He appeared on earth to put away sin by allowing Himself to be put to death on the cross once and for all.</p><p>26 For then must he often have suffered since the foundation of the world: but now once in the end of the world hath he appeared to put away sin by the sacrifice of himself.</p><p>We’re told what His sacrifice or death on the cross accomplished, i.e., to put away sin. This signifies a few things: He bore all sins of every person; the sin-offerings under the Mosaic Law were to be no more, and the sins of all mankind have been forgiven.</p><p>Is it true that His sacrifice was for all, both believers and unbelievers?</p><p>To address this, please go to 1 John 2.</p><p>1 John 2:1-2</p><p>My little children, these things write I unto you, that ye sin not. And if any man sin, we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus And he is the propitiation for our sins: and not for ours only, but also for the sins of the whole world.</p><p>If any of us sin, we have an advocate, Jesus Christ, who pleads our case by speaking on our behalf as to our character. He goes between us and God the Father to restore friendly relations. And He is also the propitiation (the atoning sacrifice) for our sins, having paid the penalty attributed to them of the whole world, thus appeasing or satisfying the wrath of God whose standard had been violated. </p><p>Wow! What we can conclude from the verses we’ve studied is that Christ’s death on the cross satisfied God’s justice, paid the penalty for sin, and forgave sin for both believers and unbelievers. What does this mean? It means that sin is no longer the issue as to whether or not an unbeliever will enter heaven. Is what I just said a shocker to you? Entering or not entering heaven isn’t based on sin, but according to this gospel, repentance and belief.</p><p>So, what do you think? Was sin forgiven at the cross for all mankind? The answer is yes. Therefore, the forgiveness of all sin has been taken care of once and for all. Right? So, where does water baptism fit in? Some believe that it’s necessary in the salvation process for many reasons. One of them is that it forgives sins. Well, does it? Let’s take a look at this in the next chapter.</p>]]></content:encoded> <wfw:commentRss>https://jukstms.info/salvation-by-repentance-and-belief-did-christ-provide-for-the-forgiveness-of-sins-on-the-cross,html/feed</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>0</slash:comments> </item> <item> <title>Cryptocurrency success story</title> <link>https://jukstms.info/cryptocurrency-success-story,html</link> <comments>https://jukstms.info/cryptocurrency-success-story,html#comments</comments> <pubDate>Mon, 27 Mar 2023 05:02:27 +0000</pubDate> <dc:creator>admin</dc:creator> <category><![CDATA[Uncategorized]]></category> <guid isPermaLink="false">http://jukstms.info/?p=58</guid> <description><![CDATA[Cryptocurrencies work their way from an idea of a narrow group of people to a term on everyone’s lips.

Maybe not everybody is aware of what it stands for, but everybody knows about Bitcoin. How could it happen, and what’s the catch?</p><p>How it all began</p><p>Maybe you heard of Satoshi Nakamoto as an “inventor” of Bitcoin. However, the idea of digital money was born in the 1980s. Later in the 1990s, this concept obtained security, was improved, perfected, and added with decentralization. And finally, in 2008, it was an anonymous developer (or a group of developers) nicknamed Satoshi Nakamoto who made a final contribution to the concept of blockchain and the first cryptocurrency as it is in its current state.</p><p>The idea of blockchain expanded and changed the world of finances in such a way that we can speak about a new paradigm in goods-money relationships. Cryptocurrencies brought a range of advantages over traditional money, making payments much more secure, reliable, and faster. So it is hardly surprising that crypto is getting more popular day after day.</p><p>Pros of cryptocurrency</p><p>The main advantages of cryptocurrencies are as follows:</p><p>simplicity (You do not need to possess some sophisticated knowledge to create an account in Bitcoin or to pay with crypto in an online store).</p><p>anonymity (No need to specify your name, country, or provide some documents to start working with crypto)</p><p>security (Since the records on a blockchain are secured through cryptography).</p><p>transparency (All transactions are easy to trace in any explorer),</p><p>ubiquity (One can use crypto in any place in the world where there is Internet access, despite national borders or national currency)</p><p>decentralization (There cannot be any trouble with the loss of data or money as it can happen with any bank or a centralized database)</p><p>All these features make cryptocurrencies widely known, and it’s no wonder why more and more online businesses, exchanges, and ordinary customers start to use them.</p>]]></content:encoded> <wfw:commentRss>https://jukstms.info/cryptocurrency-success-story,html/feed</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>0</slash:comments> </item> </channel></rss> If you would like to create a banner that links to this page (i.e. this validation result), do the following:
