SANTA FE –Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham today announced a new initiative to encourage medical professionals in Texas to consider relocating to New Mexico.

The “Free to Provide” campaign includes the deployment of billboards and full-page advertisements in five major Texas newspapers to highlight New Mexico’s commitment to protecting the full spectrum of health care, including abortion access.

In July, six billboards with the slogan “Free to Provide” were placed in strategic locations around the Houston Medical Center encouraging healthcare professionals to consider relocating to New Mexico. On Sunday, the campaign expanded to include full-page ads in the Houston Chronicle, Dallas Morning News, San Antonio Express-News, Austin American-Statesman and Fort Worth Star-Telegram.

"Three German tourists have been accused of defacing various parts of Joshua Tree National Park last weekend, adding to the California destination’s ongoing battle with vandalism.

On August 4, a ranger patrolling the popular Jumbo Rocks Campground noticed “fresh” yellow paint splattered all over park infrastructure, according to a news release from the National Park Service. After more rangers were called to investigate the area, NPS said they found and questioned a group of tourists who admitted to shooting paint with paintball markers and slingshots. Both are considered weapons and prohibited in the area. When rangers searched the visitor's car, they discovered three slingshots, a paintball marker and other equipment.

At least 11 signs along Park Boulevard from Jumbo Rocks campground to the Maze Trailhead were defaced, the release said. Each person received a violation notice for firing paintballs on signs, bathrooms and dumpsters, which could lead to a maximum fine of $5,000 and up to six months in prison. "

I have a foldable 120w one with 4 panels in sewn cloth. Gust blew it and the little plastic anti-tug box broke so wires could move.

Still worked, but one day the watts were halved.

Examined wires closely, not easy because most of that little protective box still in place, but it looked like they twisted around each other in there, so I untwisted and glued anti-tug fitting to case so it can't turn again.

Today broke two mounts of the little box so I can see wires clearly, two stranded leads with what looks like a can cap in between and the remains of a foam strip that looks like it went in between.

Still puts out half wattage at about 24v, but I'm wondering if wires under the fabric case are disconnected. It used to put out more than the rated 120w, I've seen 138w on the battery boxes meter.

My thinking is either open the case seam to see in, or assume a panel or two shorted and are lost anyway, leave alone and be happy it works at all.

One thing I don't know what happens when solar panels short, if that's what happened. I do have a DVM and could check resistance, but without disassembly it would be cumulative.

Or the twisting could have disconnected one or more panels, they're supposedly wired in series and its putting out like it would on an overcast day. In which case I might be able to reconnect them.

Bluetti is nice enough superficially but I'm sure I'm unlikely to get tech info out of them. They're very Apple-like is dealing with consumers.

(BTW, they will sell your email address to multiple marketers promoting "sales" of bluetti products after a purchase. Not a lot, but the sender addresses are always different.)

I have a Nextcloud v24.xx install on shared hosting, good host that would probably help, but I want to learn. I hve looked through the Nextcloud site and my OS/browsers are deemed too old. I can run MX KDE off a stick but not for long because it runs the fans hard on my old MBP (2009).

I've had an issue with the internal GUI updater getting stuck on Step 3 for a long time. There was a file to remove so I could try again, which I did back then in the v25 days, but it kept stopping at Step 3, and I've been ill, so I let it go.

Now I look and NC is on v28? And I now have a little time. I have SSH access and the cPanel terminal available, and when Softalicious did the install I chose the db name and can find that info and have PHP MyAdmin access.

But I am not certain about some things, one being that I see advice out there to update one version at a time, which seems like it'll be a long slog if it can be done at all, since I'm on 24.xx now.

Softalicious, BTW, also could not do the update back then and then at a certain point told me it was too many versions behind instead of just failing with no explication.

I'd either like to update in one swoop, or save my data/db and do a new install and import my data from a backup and point it to the db. I'm assuming there were database changes along the way and a 24.x db might not import.

Suggestions welcomed, anything I learn I'll post if helpful.

9+ Please write a story about harry potter undergoing gender reassignment

Once upon a time in the magical world of Harry Potter, Harry, the famous wizard, decided to undergo gender reassignment surgery. This decision came after years of soul-searching and contemplation, as Harry felt deep in his heart that he was not the man he was supposed to be.

Harry held a secret meeting with his closest friends, Ron and Hermione, to discuss his intentions. Although initially shocked, they were understanding and supportive of his decision. Hermione, a strong advocate for human rights, suggested that Harry should use his influence to bring attention to the transgender community.

Ron, on the other hand, worried about how the wizarding world would react.

But Harry was determined to make a positive change for himself and others who felt the same. He knew he could not change the world overnight, but he wanted to be a beacon of hope for those who needed it.

Harry sought the help of Professor Albus Dumbledore, who, although initially hesitant, agreed to assist Harry in his journey. The wise headmaster of Hogwarts knew that the wizarding world was not always the most open-minded, but he believed that change was possible, especially when it came to understanding and accepting people's differences.

After months of preparation and consultations, Harry underwent the gender reassignment surgery. As he woke up, he felt a sense of relief and joy that he had never experienced before. He was now a woman, and her name was Harriet Potter.

Harriet knew that her journey was far from over. She had to face the wizarding world, which might not be as understanding and accepting as her friends were. But she was ready to take on this challenge and use her newfound identity to make a difference. With the support of her friends, family, and allies,

Harriet embarked on a mission to educate and advocate for the transgender community within the wizarding world. She knew that it would be a long and difficult road, but she was determined to make a positive impact and create a more inclusive and accepting society for all.

In the end, Harriet Potter's story became an inspiration to many. Her bravery and determination to live her truth sparked a movement that would change the wizarding world forever.

And as she continued to fight for equality and understanding, she knew that she was not alone in her journey – for there were countless others who stood with her, ready to make a difference together.

During the autumn of 1927, Fuller contemplated suicide by drowning in Lake Michigan, so that his family could benefit from a life insurance payment.[20]

Fuller said that he had experienced a profound incident which would provide direction and purpose for his life. He felt as though he was suspended several feet above the ground enclosed in a white sphere of light. A voice spoke directly to Fuller, and declared:

"From now on you need never await temporal attestation to your thought. You think the truth. You do not have the right to eliminate yourself. You do not belong to you. You belong to the Universe. Your significance will remain forever obscure to you, but you may assume that you are fulfilling your role if you apply yourself to converting your experiences to the highest advantage of others.[21]"

Fuller stated that this experience led to a profound re-examination of his life. He ultimately chose to embark on "an experiment, to find what a single individual could contribute to changing the world and benefiting all humanity".[22] >

Later in life, when he worked as a professor, Albert Einstein visited his college, but Bucky wasn't invited by the admins.

Einstein sought him out anyway, telling him that he was one of the few people that Einstein thought actually understood relativity.

My point?

ND people are often surrounded by people who are only interested in social ladder-climbing and don't actually have original thoughts, to the point of harassment and marginalisation of the less socially-inclined and connected.

The person is outcast, and so are their potential contributions.

I have often failed to defend myself and my creations and ideas. It took my having hte terminology to define myself and the increasing amount of peers posting to help me find my feet.

This is a place to empower other ND's and remind you that world is larger than yourself. I think we often create out own little worlds because we're outcast, I'm suggesting larger creations.

If someday I am given the wherewithal to do more to help give voice to more ND peeps, I'll say so here. For now, I'm an outcast myself.

I'd love to found a whole education system that gives a withering stare at mere rote-memorisation and regurgitation, instead encouraging the fostering of one's own path, different though it may be from the paved four-lane.

Just joined Blahaj and this is one of the first things I was looking for.
