Water shark ip5/17/2023 ![]() Shark attacks are shocking and scary, but how common are they? Here's the truth about shark attacks on humans. ![]() Though ISAF reports on incidents across the globe, Tyler Bowling, the program manager, says people are much less likely to report a shark attack from a smaller country with limited phone and Internet access, or if they are engaging in risky behavior when the attack occurs. The group has documented 6,200 accounts of shark-human incidents, including historical accounts going back all the way to the 1500s. Housed at the Florida Museum of Natural History, ISAF started collecting reports on shark attacks in 1958. In contrast, a “provoked” attack results from aggravating human activities, such as grabbing or harassing a shark, or removing one from a fishing line. Most reported shark attacks are what experts consider “unprovoked,” meaning a shark apparently comes out of nowhere to bite a person, according to the International Shark Attack File (ISAF), which collects worldwide shark attack data. Still, a notable difference exists in the number of recent incidents on the U.S. Spoiler: though the overall long-term trend shows an increasing number of shark attacks, the number has actually declined in the past few years. We talked to some shark experts to find out if that’s true. After extensive coverage of shark attacks on people in local and national media, readers may be left asking why there seems to be a “spike” in recent incidents. Sleek, muscular bodies of sharks slice through the water-powerful predators of the ocean, striking fear in smaller fish-and sometimes humans. ![]()

Sumatra coffee beans5/16/2023 ![]() ![]() Milk Chocolate & Caramel Decaf Peru More about Sumatra Mandheling CoffeeĬoffee beans (seeds) were first planted in Sumatra in 1699, having been taken there from Yemen by Dutch colonialists. Milk Chocolate & Coconut Single Decaf Brazil If you have a bean to cup coffee machine, for the longevity of your machine I'd highly recommend that you look at one of the coffees below:Ĭlassic Italian Espresso Blend - Bean to Cup ![]() If you have a Sage machine with an integrated grinder, this doesn't apply as they all have removable burrs. Many people use dark roasted beans with bean to cup machines and never have an issue, but in theory using darker roasted beans does increase the chances of issues caused by clogged up burrs. If you have a bean-to-cup coffee machine without removable burrs, you'll probably find that the manufacturer recommends not using dark roasts, for this reason. ![]() This is simply because the oils that are present in darker roasted beans can coat the burrs of your grinder, and this can lead to clogging, which isn't a big deal if you have removable burrs, as you can just whip them out and give them a wipe. As I've said in quite a few posts on .uk and in YouTube videos, dark oily beans aren't the best for bean to cup coffee machines. This is a dark roasted coffee, so it's a dark coloured shiny, oily bean. ![]() These coffee beans are certified organic and fairtrade, and will work with all brewing methods, including espresso, but see my note below re bean to cup machines. The Speciality Coffee Association score of this coffee is 84, the varietals are Tim-tim, Bourbon and Ateng, and the processing method is Galling Basah, a wet hulling (semi washed) process which is specific to Sumatra. This Sumatra Mandheling comes from the Permata Gayo cooperative in the Gayo Highlands region of central Aceh in Sumatra, where over two thousand smallholders work together to produce this incredible coffee which is grown at an altitude of 1200-1600m. There are some subtle berry notes in there too which you may detect if you have a more developed palate, but the main flavour I get from this is dark chocolate, along with caramel notes and a slight smokiness. If you're one of the many coffeeblog readers who helped me to develop The Coffeeworks back in 2020, who told me that one of your favourite flavour notes in coffee was dark chocolate, then this one is for you! ![]() Google chrome installer high disk usage5/16/2023 ![]() ![]() Alternatively, you can deploy or let users install an extension that reduces memory usage by suspending tabs that aren’t being used, such as The Great Suspender.

In fact, premium subscription does not grant access to all streaming services.What we have noticed testing Premium version: Though, it's a transparent policy by the vendor, helping them to earn money.

For example, to make server moderators, the server owner can create a Moderator role with permissions such as toggle mute, kick, ban/unban any member, and perform any other action that a moderator should be allowed to do in the server. When communities get bigger, roles help a lot in managing hundreds of members safely and easily. When a speaker is done talking, the event moderator can mute him and allow anyone else from the audience to be the speaker. Staged channels act as a virtual auditorium with one speaker, and the rest is the audience. ![]() Recently Discord launched staged channels for hosting community events. ![]() They can also choose how many members can join a channel at one time.
