When the developers of Linux Mint released 20.02, I did my usual of downloading the ISO and spinning up a virtual machine in VirtualBox. And, to be perfectly honest, that question focused more on what desktop environment was ideal for newcomers to Linux. The primary issue centers around which distribution was best suited for the average user. So, believing the operating system is capable of meeting and exceeding the needs of the average user hasn’t been the problem. ![]() And to this day, I still hold fast to that claim, as Linux is more stable, more reliable, and more secure than any operating system on the market. And in the past 10 years, I’ve been adamant that Linux is the perfect operating system for the average user. Of all the years I’ve been using Linux (since ’97), I’ve been fairly vocal about the operating system being a great platform. SEE: 5 Linux server distributions you should be using (TechRepublic Premium) However, the latest iteration of Linux Mint has me seriously rethinking that stance. Why? My penchant tends to lean toward the more modern interfaces (which is why I’m loving Pop!_OS COSMIC so much). My problem has always been the default desktop environment, Cinnamon. It’s not the distribution itself, because that has always impressed me. I’m going to confess here, I’ve not once used Linux Mint as my go-to operating system.

Women visiting hospitals with a dedicated FP counselor reported higher quality of FP counselling. Reasons for dissatisfaction with counselling services included very crowded environment, short time with the provider, non-availability of provider, long waiting times, limited number of days for ANC services, and lack of comprehensive FP-related information, education and counselling (IEC) materials. Despite their interest, most women reported that they did not receive thorough information about FP, and about a third of them said that they did not receive any counselling services on PPFP. Overall, the quality of FP counselling during ANC was unsatisfactory based on patient expectations and experience of interactions with providers, as well as FP methods offered. Data were organized using Bruce-Jain quality of care framework and analyzed thematically. IDIs were audio recorded, transcribed verbatim in Nepali, and translated into English. ![]() Women were selected using maximum variation sampling to represent different socio-demographic characteristics. IDIs data were collected as part of a process evaluation of this intervention. ![]() In-depth interviews (IDIs) were conducted with 24 pregnant women who had attended at least two ANC visits in one of the six public hospitals that had received an intervention that sought to integrate FP counselling in maternity care services and introduce postpartum intrauterine device insertion in the immediate postpartum period. This study investigates the quality of FP counselling services provided during ANC visits and women’s perceptions of its effectiveness in assisting them to make a post-partum family planning (PPFP) decision. Integration of counselling on family planning (FP) at the time of antenatal care (ANC) and delivery has the potential to increase post-partum contraceptive use. Though modern contraceptive use among married women in Nepal has increased from 26% in 1996 to 43% in 2016, it remains low among postpartum women. ![]() ![]() ![]() Several ninja characters absent from Mortal Kombat 3 return in Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3, including Kitana, Jade, Reptile and Scorpion on the prototype version a new Ultimate Kombat Code was added in revision 1.0 to enable Mileena, Ermac and Classic Sub-Zero as secret characters.

I’d never bought these 3controllers I’d found something else that was a smart device so I could set it using my phone from a air conditioned building then wifi the set programs to the device. All in all if I could do it all over again. I kept all 3 thinking I’m sure I’ll use them on other Applications. Bait a switch on a older timer that didn’t work by the seconds. I set a endless time a cycle that will run from 7am-6pm 3sec run at 10min intervals. A setting that only should work if you’re setting the time by the days of the week. I’m referring to start times underneath the days settings. And I’m talking about the actual clock timing settings. But if you don’t set it 1min ahead of the time you at currently at it will not keep time and the timer will not work. The dumbest thing ever! A setting that your not even suppose to mess with. As in the timer will stop keeping time and will not keep counting down. If u don’t set that time a min ahead before the actual time it is currently. The same setting that they’re telling u that has nothing to do with cycle timing, which is BS!! It does. What in the hell? After about a hr of swapping zones I noticed it was trying to water on zone 1? Haha wth? There’s a start setting. I went to zone 4! The last zone and it started working again. Then I set it for a more practical time session and for no reason at all it stops working again! So. After hours of nothing and out of the blue it starts working? Scared me when it went off lol.
