The timeline to UPC implementation is as below:Īfter the final ratification, the Provisional Application Period will start, estimated to take between six and ten months during which preparatory steps for the UPC Implementation will take place. Business Europe is reporting that both Austria and Malta are close and expect to be completing ratification by the end of this year. It is now clear that Germany has completed the ratification process, meaning that only one more country needs to ratify in order to start the final preparations moving.

However, the Yiddish word doesn't refer to your blood relatives like you'd think rather, it's meant to be used when talking about those close friends that are like family, even though they aren't blood relatives. As a parent, you can use this word to refer to your kids' antics, saying something like, "You all need to stop this mishegas!" Mishpocheh Sometimes spelled meshugas or mishegoss, this Yiddish word is synonymous with insanity, silliness, and craziness. ![]() ![]() To call someone a mensch is to call them an honorable and admirable person-and using the word to refer to somewhere, therefore, is considered to be a huge compliment! However, the Hanukkah product hardly makes it clear what the noun actually means. Thanks to the popularity of the Shark Tank-famous Mensch on a Bench, it's possible that you're already somewhat familiar with the Yiddish word mensch (pronounced "mench"). Any time there is something to celebrate, it is appropriate to shout out a mazel just don't use it when a woman is pregnant, as superstitious individuals believe that this might cause something to happen to the baby. That's because in Yiddish, this is what people say when they want to congratulate someone or wish them good luck. Mazel TovĪttend any bar mitzvah or Jewish wedding and you'll hear the phrase m azel tov used in every other sentence. As a noun, this word describes someone who complains far too frequently, and as a verb, it refers to the act of said complaining. You really don't want someone to call you a kvetch or telling you that you're kvetching too much. This verb, taken from the Yiddish language, is used to indicate that one is bursting with pride over the actions and accomplishments of someone else. You yourself might even kvell without knowing it whenever someone close to you gets a promotion or overcomes a big hurdle. And keppie, in case you didn't grow up in a Jewish household, is just a much sillier way of referring to the forehead.īubbes always kvell over their grandkids' soccer matches and good grades. Jewish mothers love to kiss their kids' keppies. And when there are multiple non-Jewish people in a group, you refer to them not as goys, but as goyim. Quite simply, a goy is just someone who isn't Jewish. Though the Yiddish word originally had an entirely negative connotation, it is now used as a slang word in everyday conversation both positively and negatively. According to Merriam-Webster, this noun is synonymous with nerve and gall and is used to describe someone with the utmost confidence and audacity. Wherever you can use the word nothing, you can use the word bupkis. So, the next time someone asks you how much you know about, say, outer space, just tell them that you know bupkis! Chutzpahīeing told that you have chutzpah isn't always a compliment. This is one of the Yiddish words you can use when, for example, you want to emphasize that you (or perhaps other people) know zip, nada, zilch about a subject matter. (Jeremy Busch, a Grand Panjandrum in the Alpha Agora, didn't have to schmooze us at all to get us to run today's amusing Good Word.The word bupkis means nothing. This name in Hebrew is yishmaçel "God heard", from yishmaç, an archaic past tense of shama "hear, heard" + 'el "God". Yiddish gathered this word from Hebrew shêmuça "report, rumor, something heard", the passive participle of shama "hear, heard". Word History: Today's Good Word, as mentioned above, comes to us from Yiddish, from the word schmues "a chat", the noun for the verb shmuesn "to chat". You are far more likely to get promoted if you just keep your nose to the grindstone."), and, of course, on the hustings: "Sidney, you have to spend more time schmoozing millionaires if you want to get elected." In Play: Schmoozing takes place everywhere, at home ("Billy, see it you can schmooze mom up for $5 so we can go to the movie"), at work ("Schmoozing will get you nowhere at this place. A schmoozer is someone who schmoozes frequently and effectively. It comes with a participle, schmoozing, which serves as an adjective and activity noun. It is clearly a part of all English dialects now. Notes: Here is yet another contribution to English from Yiddish. To chat up, to converse with in order to gain some advantage. To engage in a long, casual conversation, to chat, to gossip. ![]() Temperament & Intelligence of the Portuguese Podengo □ If you want to learn more about this amazing purebred dog, check out all the information we’ve put together for you! They need daily outdoor exercise, but they aren’t particularly active, so they will spend their fair share of time lounging around the house. On the topic of humans, these dogs greatly enjoy spending time and playing with children of all ages. ![]() The Portuguese Podengo is social and happiest when sharing their lives with at least one other dog in addition to their human family members. Portuguese Podengos are the official national dogs of Portugal, and many kennel clubs throughout the world recognize all sizes of this breed. Their smooth, double coat gives them a sophisticated look, and their pointy ears give away the fact that these dogs are always alert. ![]() Portuguese Podengos can weigh anywhere from 35 to 65 pounds, and they stand as tall as 28 inches. They are the close cousins of a smaller breed called the Portuguese Podengo Pequeno. These dogs come in two different sizes: medium and Grande. The Portuguese Podengo dates back thousands of years and were originally bred to be hunters but are now beloved companion pets for families around the world. Intelligent, fun-loving, sociable, good with other dogs They are an integral part of the Portuguese people’s survival through the centuries and are still widely popular there even today.Black, grey, fawn, chestnut, orange, goldįamilies and singles, multi-pet households, outdoor adventuring The Portuguese Podengo Pequeno is one of the 10 national indigenous dogs of Portugal. From which the Portuguese Podengo Pequeno is the smallest, the other two being the Medio and the Grande.Įven though Pequenos possesses ancient and rich historical background, they are relatively new to the AKC for the reason being that, the breed entered the AKC (American Kennel Club) Miscellaneous class in 2011 and the Hound class exactly two years later in 2013. All three are considered and recognized as separate breeds from each other. The Portuguese Podengo Pequeno is one of three size classes of the Portugal Podengo breeds, although they all hail from the southern border in the countryside of Portugal. Yet, their official introduction to the American public was much later, in 1995 when the smooth-coated Pequeno came into the United States, and then a couple of years later in 2001, the first wiry coated had also arrived.Īlbeit the fact that the breed’s ancestors had much smoother coats, ideal in Portugal’s wet north, wiry coats flourished in hot, dry southern Portugal where brambles were particularly abundant. The dogs’ duties were keeping the ship rodent-free during the travels, in order to protect and preserve the food stores and prevent most of the sailors and lower-deck ratings from getting vermin-borne and several other diseases. In the 15 th and 16 th centuries, the breed was taken abroad on ships heading towards America. Firstly, using their sense of scent, then their excellent hearing, to locate the small animals. The dogs hunted alone and also were capable to work together in packs. The dogs’ responsibilities were to flush out the rabbits, capture, kill, and finally retrieve the prey for their human counterparts. In the early days, the Portuguese Podengo Pequeno was bred to hunt rabbits for the people in the craggy Iberian countryside. The ancient Roman, Phoenician, and Moorish traders and invaders brought the breed’s ancestors to the Iberian Peninsula over 2000 years ago. The breed, as their name suggests, is originated from Portugal. It is believed that the Portuguese Podengo Pequeno is the world’s smallest hunting dog. With proper training and socialization, a Portuguese Podengo Pequeno can be a wonderful addition to any family, providing love and companionship for years to come. To ensure a well-behaved dog, it's essential to learn how to train a Portuguese Podengo Pequeno puppy not to bite from an early age. They are usually not aggressive and very friendly towards children and other animals. Portuguese Podengo Pequeno bite wounds might not be as severe, but it is still essential to be cautious and prevent any biting incidents. Despite the bite force of Portuguese Podengo Pequeno being lower, it does not make them any less lovable or enjoyable as pets. The bite force of a Portuguese Podengo Pequeno may be weak, but it's important to remember that any dog's bite can still be dangerous if not managed properly. The bite force Portuguese Podengo Pequeno measurements usually fall below 200 PSI, making them one of the breeds with the weakest bite force. The Portuguese Podengo Pequeno bite force is considered weak when compared to other dog breeds. Portuguese Podengo Pequeno bite force: Weak. Did you stop to buy a bottle of water on your way home?

Obviously, everybody will have something unique that works for them. There's something about building your own plan that existing apps and services don't really account for - at least for me, and my unique mentality around food. Having to make those calculations somehow contributes to the sense of participation, though, in a way I'm not really sure how to explain, even to myself. packaging more often lists calories per portion, which is far more friendly to this kind of method. Calculating calories has been a bit harder in Germany, since their packaging often lists calories per 100 grams, forcing me to do annoying calculations and weigh food out. I am most definitely an Excel novice, but I feel like my setup gives me a level of involvement that I feel some apps remove from the process. There are no doubt technical methods I could use to improve my spreadsheet, like creating a database of food that will do calculations for me. Excel even has a more granular diet plan template you can use, but it didn't give me the flexibility nor the weekly average tally I wanted to account for social events and cheat days. I think Microsoft Excel works for me because it feels like I created the project, and am fulfilling the project, using my own system and my own data. Weirdly, none of these kinds of apps or services has ever worked for me. I've tried a lot of dieting apps like Noom, for example, which encourage you to build habits using psychology. Source: Jez Corden / Windows Central (Image credit: Source: Jez Corden / Windows Central) What may otherwise seem like small changes do add up, contributing to a big overall difference.Įxcel has seen me steadily and gradually lose weight over the course of a year, to a point where I'm almost below 300 pounds for the first time in decades. Simple tactics like switching from bread to low-calorie crackers, or swapping out cheese for tuna on pasta has also helped immensely. It also helps me target calorie-sparse foods that are filling but contribute fewer calories overall to the average, such as lettuce and salad with a low-calorie dressing for flavor. This method allows me to account for "cheat days" like going out for a pizza and drinks with friends, because I can average out the extra calories by eating less the next few days, as I target around 1,200-1,500 daily average for the week. I've tried all of the restriction diets like keto and just found that none of them really worked for me. ![]() I could certainly do more exercise to increase the number of calories I can eat, sure, but this is what works for me, and has worked for me thus far. If I want to lose weight, I need to create a deficit that goes below 1,600 calories, which accounts for my relatively sedentary work-from-home lifestyle. I find that if I eat around 1,600 calories per day on a weekly rolling average, I will probably maintain my weight. Either way, actively counting and measuring helps you figure out where to create a deficit. Admittedly, for me, it has certainly been a bit more difficult to consistently lose weight without actively counting, so I may go back to counting again this week. Since Christmas, I've stopped tracking my food intake so aggressively because I'm trying to build up habits without having to log everything down. In the beginning, losing weight was incredibly easy, but as you can see from the chart, it dropped down a bit over time as my body got more used to the new diet plan, and the (fairly minimal) exercise I was doing.Įxcel has seen me steadily and gradually lose weight over the course of a year, to a point where I'm almost below 300 pounds for the first time in decades. The first time I was able to weigh myself was when I'd already dropped to 415 pounds (and when the scales stopped returning an error message for being too heavy). ![]() I also have a line graph at the top where I log my weight every Saturday for the past year, which offers an overview of my progress as soon as I open up the spreadsheet. ![]() "armor" and "health" are good too, but the shout and sword swipes were my main tools and having more shouts and stronger attacks worked out better than more health as it made for less loops around the room and less trouble from fire. Try leveling up stuff like "less mana cost" or "atk" for this one. Honestly the best trait you can get for it is dwarfism just for the ease of dodging. Just use double jumps or triple jumps as your runes for mobility as dashes can shoot you right into stuff and get you killed in this fight (same as Alexander).Īlso I know its tempting to abuse your spells like ax or something, but its far better to save that mana for shout. By doing that you can kill him without too much trouble from the flames and honestly dashing is NOT a good idea in a fight like this. Just use barbarian shout if your a barbarian and run a loop from bottom to top around the room. The boss will chase the player, leaving a flaming trail occasionally pausing to charge at the player.
