First and foremost, before riding your bicycle on a sidewalk, check with your local municipality to determine whether or not bicycles are permitted on sidewalks in the municipality. Many municipalities have by-laws that either prohibit the operation of bicycles on sidewalks entirely or in certain areas such as business areas. Remember that sidewalks were designed for pedestrians. If you must be on the sidewalk consider walking your bike, especially in downtown areas. Always give pedestrians a little extra room. Always assume that pedestrians do not see or hear you. Watch your speed especially on residential streets and downhill. People can not hear you behind them. Never try to scare anybody. Slow down and call out – for example: “Excuse me, on your left please.” The same will apply if passing another bicycle. Be considerate of people crossing the street. You have the same responsibility as a motorist to yield to the right of way of pedestrians. Finally, please respect the rights of those who can’t get around as easily as you can. Many pedestrians have disabilities which limit their hearing, vision or mobility. They may not be able to see or hear you approach, or able to quickly move out of the way. The safety of pedestrians depends on your courtesy. Please be courteous and slow down when operating a bicycle on a sidewalk.

Comfrey Leaf Benefits For Skin Since 400 BC, early Greek physicians have used Comfrey to heal wounds and heal damaged skin. The high Allantoin content promotes skin cell regeneration, stimulates the growth of new cells and helps sensitive skin to become more resilient, counteracting dryness and cracking. The Good Stuff Botanicals infuses apple cider vinegar with Comfrey Leaf in it's Earth Tone herbal skin toner & astringent. Comfrey acts as an emollient and is very soothing, inhibiting further damage to tissues, stimulating the production of cartilage, tendons and muscles. It has been esteemed as a blood, bone and flesh builder. The name comfrey is believed to come from Latin ‘confera’, meaning knitting together. The genus name symphytum means to heal together, and for this use, it is renown: that it can assist the body to heal any part that is torn or broken, which also explains the reason for another common name, knitbone. Scientific research shows that chlorophyll helps to rejuvenate old cells and promote the growth of new cells. This action, together with comfrey’s allantoin properties (a cell proliferant) provides us with a very powerful herb. Allantoin is one of the elements that makes comfrey unique. Allantoin is also produced in the allantois gland of the umbilical cord (the link between mother and developing baby, which feeds the embryo) for promoting rapid cell growth. Allantoin is a leucocytosis promoter (increases white blood cells) that helps to establish immunity from many infectious conditions. This allantoin compound hastens skin regeneration and stimulates cell proliferation. Comfrey leaf is also known for healing bruises and scrapes quite effectively. Studies in Europe show it’s effective in treating eczema, psoriasis, dermatitis, and viral skin infections. So, it can be effective in replacing the damaged cells of the body. Besides allantoin, another important compound found in it is mucilage. Both allantoin and mucilage have anti-inflammatory properties. So, they are used in alleviating the pain and inflammation associated with broken bones, sprains, arthritis, wounds, etc. Mucilage is also effective in intestinal disorders, while allantoin augments the immune system to fight against infectious diseases.

Man proposes, god dispossess. True. The forces of nature are strong and nothing seems to work against her. Human beings have always tried to combat these strong natural forces one way or the other. Hence, the invention of science. Science has always tried to counter the destructive forces of nature. One such story is from the state of Tamil Nadu. What’s the story about? Recently, the state of Tamil Nadu was hit by Cyclone Vardah. Now, we all know that Tamil Nadu is a coastal state. It is prone to such cyclones. The aftermaths of such cyclones are devastating. There are huge casualties on both sides, that is life and property. This Monday that is 12th of December was a day when this coastal state had to face the wrath of nature. Large number of people would have died if not for two ISRO satellites. An ISRO official recalls that, how two satellites –Insat 3DRand ScatSat -1- predicted the cyclones activities and this helped the authorities in taking necessary action. The public was alerted at the right time. Rescue operations were carried out by National Disaster Response Force. The heroes of the story –ISRO’s satellites Insat-3DR is a state of the art meteorological satellite configured with an imaging system and an atmospheric sounder. The three-stage Geosynchronous Satellite Launch Vehicle (GSLV) launched it on September 8. ScatSat-1 is a wind vector data products provider and helps in weather forecasting. It was of grave help in cyclone tracking. Also, another major factor to be noticed is that the Satish Dhawan Space Centre at Sriharikota also didn’t suffer any major damage. All, thanks to these satellites. Dealing with natural calamities Natural calamities or natural disasters can play havoc on all forms of life. All, one can do under such situation is act with prudence and not lose courage.

...By Jack Sylva for TDPel Media. Artificial intelligence (AI) expert Geoffrey Hinton has warned that AI technology is developing at an alarming rate and has called for its expansion to be brought under human control. Hinton, who was a longtime researcher at Google, said the software development firm OpenAI’s GPT-4 chatbot system “eclipses a person in the amount of general knowledge it has”, although he also cautioned that such systems are still in the early stages of development and possess flaws, with some producing incorrect or made-up information. There is debate over whether self-awareness is possible for a digital creation. Hinton, who was a pioneer in neural network design and won the Turing Award, computing’s top honour, in 2018, has said that the AI systems in development are “very different” from other kinds of software. Hinton’s warning is in line with the concerns of Pope Francis and other Catholic leaders, who have advocated for the ethical use of AI technologies, with Francis calling for them to be used for “the future of humanity”. Speaking to participants in the Minerva Dialogues, a digital technologies-focused gathering, the pope highlighted that while artificial intelligence has potential, it will only be realised if developers remain committed to ethical standards. The pope added that he welcomes the regulation of AI to ensure that it contributes to a better world. The risks posed by AI systems, including the automation of work that is currently done by people, leading to job losses, and the potential for AI to create and propagate disinformation, have been cited by other experts. Long-term risks, such as the possibility of AI systems destroying humanity, have also been raised. There is a real concern that AI systems may be interlinked with other internet services and gain the power to self-modify themselves, posing a danger that they could escape human control. While AI has enormous potential, it should not be developed at the expense of the common good, as this could lead to real dangers. There is a need for the ethical and responsible use of AI and for developers to act ethically and responsibly. There is also a need for regulation to ensure that AI is used for the benefit of society.

Because corten steel corrosion is a natural state of the material itself, and weathering steel can be chemically coated. Therefore, weathering steel materials can present different visual effects according to the characteristics of the project. Corten steel is often called "synonym of the industrial age", "visual expression of the concept of time" and so on according to different types of design appearances, and corten steel is widely used in various fields. Even better, the case with corten board landscape has won awards. The judges wrote in their award speech for the corten steel project: "This is a brave project. It is not about how to decorate the site, but an example of various reasonable measures to restore the pit. And the light will flow at any time, It will become richer and more beautiful." It can also be used for the application of difficult construction technology. Corten steel shows its powerful shape shaping ability in construction. And like other metal materials, corroded steel plates are easier to mold into rich and varied shapes and can maintain good integrity. This characteristic of weathering steel is difficult to achieve with wood, stone and concrete. In short, the aesthetics of weathering steel in plastic art directly promotes the application of this material in landscape design. Not only that, the unique morphological and performance characteristics of corten steel and its application in landscape design have guided the change of the public's aesthetic consciousness, and at the same time, it has played a very positive role in respecting history.

We create two big Int variables and initialize them with the values of the numbers we want to compute the GCD for. We then create a third big Int variable and use the GCD function to compute the GCD of the first two variables and set the result to the third variable. The first two arguments to the GCD function in this case are nil, indicating that we want the function to use the default GCD algorithm. In conclusion, the math/big package is a powerful tool for dealing with large numbers in Go. Its functions and methods are versatile and can be used in various applications that involve integer arithmetic.

Intrauterine device (IUD) Test your knowledge of POCUS Lung with this knowledge check Intrauterine contraceptive devices are quite effective in preventing intrauterine pregnancy. Fewer than 1-2% of women with a copper or hormonal IUD get pregnant every year. Ultrasound is a great imaging modality to localize an IUD. In this example the pregnancy occurred because the IUD got displaced and slipped into the cervical canal. Seek proper medical care to manage this condition. Gentle removal of the IUD would be necessary. If the pregnancy occurred with an older IUD in the uterine cavity it may lead to a spontaneous abortion. Transvaginal ultrasound may be needed to visualize the IUD clearly. Figure 1. Observe direction of blood flow (red arrow) during diastole from the left atrium into the left ventricle.

A review of the parasitic dinoflagellates Hematodinium species and Hematodinium-like infections in marine crustaceans Virginia Institute of Marine Science Diseases of Aquatic Organisms Parasitic dinoflagellates in the genus Hematodinium are important parasites of marine Crustacea. Outbreaks of these parasites have damaged commercial stocks of Norway lobster Nephrops norvegicus, snow crab Chionoecetes opilio, Tanner crab C. bairdi, American blue crab Callinectes sapidus, and velvet swimming crab Necora puber. Species of Hematodinium can reach high enough levels to regulate their host populations, but mortalities are also centred on the unfished juveniles and females, hosts not normally sampled by fisheries; hence impacts are often underreported. Seasonal prevalences of up to 85 % occur annually in many host populations; in effect, these parasites form cryptic blooms in the water column with crabs and other crustaceans at risk of disease. We review the biology and ecology of Hematodinium spp. infections in crustaceans. lncluded is a comparison of the different infections, a synthesis of what is known, and an attempt to highlight fruitful areas for continued research.

To ensure that athletes to accomplish peak performance in their competitive season, all physical and mental sports training and preparation must build throughout the year. Fitness practicing for peak performance means following an annual training plan intended to match the exact demands of your sport. A fitness plan is generally set up on phases of 4-6 weeks. Each phase, or period, incorporates a specific purpose that prepares athletes to the competitive season. It produces in life key training principles--specificity, overload, recovery, and variation. The key of variation will be the first step toward periodized training, or periodization. Periodization was popularized through the Eastern Europeans. It calls for making a carefully-designed training curriculum in cycles of lengths as short as seven days to some year. Practicing varying activity will also apply to learning sport skills whenever they pass the beginner stage of learning. athletic net Learning phases not only helps athletes build toward their peak at the optimal time, what's more, it prevents boredom and receiving stuck at plateaus. The earliest phase of fitness training starts immediately after the end of the first season. Right after a short break and an active rest, general conditioning begins all over again. Conditioning builds a base of strength, endurance, and various key components of fitness. It might also want to assist in preventing common injuries. Another few phases to train be intense and specific. These phases build upon conditioning. They enhance such qualities as agility, explosiveness, and jumping ability for gameplay in basketball or volleyball. High intensity training can build cardio through fast, intermittent bursts of activity and short recovery periods that closely match the competitive conditions of countless sports. Intense weightlifting, which will be carefully coordinated along with other aspects to train, boosts power and gross motor coordination while balancing muscle groups. The final in-season phase to train is critical. And here , all athletes must attend their full capacity to the peak of the competitive season. To peak, it's dependent on maintaining high levels of sport-specific fitness and sharpening physical and mental skills for top game play. © 2023 Gemaakt door Beter HBO.

St. John’s Fountain was built as in the 1860s indoor plumbing was non-existent in the older sections of Limerick City, such as Irish Town, during this period there was wide spread disease as a result of this lack of clean water. This was a time of reform in health care and a group of concerned citizens got together and arranged for a free water supply in the John’s Gate area. This area had been transformed with the building of St. John’s Cathedral in 1856. St. John’s Fountain also known as Cathedral fountain is situated in front of St. John’s Cathedral it is a square free-standing limestone and marble structure in a Gothic Revival style drinking fountain. It was built in 1865 to that once met the sanitary and health requirements of the local population of the parish . It had four spouts one of each of its sides. Iron goblets were attached to two of its spouts to provide on the spot drinking facilities for the public at large and help them fill small containers easily. while larger vessels were filled at the other two spouts. There are four plaques on the fountain reading: - “Erected the ninth day of December in the year of our lord one thousand eight hundred and sixty five. John Rickard Tinsly – Mayor. Pat McNamara, Reuben Harvey, James H. Boyd M.C., Edward Fitt, John Mackern – Trustees” - “The inhabitants of St. John’s Square are earnestly requested to protect this fountain from injury” - “This fountain was erected by the Limerick Pery and Jubilee Loan Society at the suggestion at the suggestion of the late Isaac W. Unthank Esqer. former Hon. Sec. of the Society for the benefit of the inhabitants of St. John’s Parish and for which the corporation have granted a free supply of water.’ - “St. John’s Parish Drinking fountain erected in 1865 by the Pery and Jubilee loan Society. Refurbished through a joint environmental project by Limerick City Council and Limerick Civic Trust during the mayoralty of Cllr. John Gilligan 2008. There is also a benchmark on the fountain, you can read more about benchmarks here.

5.10. Structure of the refrigerator highway of the air conditioning system The refrigerator path of air conditioning system has the standard organization. Scheme of the organization of a refrigerator path of the air conditioning system After an exit from the compressor coolant is banished via the condenser, comes to a receiver / dehumidifier, is pumped over via the evaporator and comes back in the compressor. Process of transition of coolant to gaseous state is controlled from the outside by means of the evaporator of the broad valve which is built in assembly. Protection of system against excessive decrease / increase in pressure is carried out by means of the sensor switch which is built in in a receiver — as soon as pressure in system exceeds the limit of admissible range (up or down), the sensor switch is disconnected, stopping functioning of the compressor. Besides, the safety valve which is carrying out emergency dumping of surplus of coolant into the atmosphere at excess by pressure in a path of value in 3.73 kPa is built in a back part of the compressor.

Get acquainted with the cow. Make friends. This is a collaboration, not a battle, so you must find a way to join forces despite the cow’s opinion of you. Ascertain the cow’s opinion of you. Ascertain as well the cow’s motivations. Why will this cow not move? Is it stuck? Is this a choice? If so, perhaps make the surroundings less comfortable for the cow. Introduce flies or possibly a beehive or two within kicking distance. If the cow simply will not move, you must move relative to the cow. Change your frame of reference. Run past the cow and the cow will appear to be moving. The cow’s acceleration is equal to the total force you provide it divided by its mass. Do not allow the cow to have infinite mass. If the cow seems un-acceleratable, you must assume it has willed itself into a state of infinite inertia. Get acquainted with your own motivations, especially if the cow appears immovable. How badly do you want to move this immovable cow? Are you harboring resistance to the project within yourself? If so, overcome it. You must be an unstoppable force. No cow can resist an unstoppable force. No force can move an immovable cow. Encourage the cow to remain immovable. When the immovable cow meets your unstoppable force it will both move and not move. If you are to be an unstoppable force, you must find within yourself an infinite amount of energy. Try carbo loading or eat some sugar. Once you have become infinite energy, attempt to move the cow again. The cow will absorb your energy and you will move out of existence. You might consider this a win for the cow. However, in the process the cow’s infinite mass will have become infinite energy and the cow has also moved out of existence. The cow has moved and you have triumphed! Moving the cow has resulted in your mutual annihilation and your effort has come to nothing, you cow.

Even as the devastating effects from Hurricane Harvey in the Gulf Coast are still being calculated, a very strong hurricane, Irma, is tracking toward the U.S., and possibly North Carolina. Forecasts like these rightly generate concern. Flooding is the biggest, given it is how most lives are lost. But hurricanes also raise concern about loss or damage to homes and crops, as well as other immediate effects such as power outages. Some activists like to sound false alarms about pollution from hog farms. (And some in the media will bite.) The facts are much different. Just last year, when Hurricane Matthew dropped more than 16 inches of rain across North Carolina, it caused some of the worst flooding our state has ever seen. And yet hog farms fared remarkably well. Only one hog farm lost any animals because of the storm. And only one hog lagoon, located on an inactive farm, suffered structural damage. More than 99.5% of North Carolina hog lagoons didn’t experience any flooding as a result of the hurricane. When it comes to possible pollution, a much greater threat comes from municipal wastewater treatment plants. During Matthew, multiple municipal plants were flooded and millions of gallons of waste were released into the waters of the state. State regulators note that the massive volume of rainfall associated with storms has a dilutive effect on the many sources of pollution that end up in the waters. Still, North Carolina pig farmers are not resting easy. Our farmers have learned valuable lessons from past hurricanes and taken meaningful steps to better prepare for future hurricanes. Since Hurricane Floyd hit North Carolina in 1999, more than 100 farms in flood-prone areas — and more than 200 lagoons — have been closed. The N.C. Pork Council is currently working to help secure funding that would voluntarily close additional farms that could be susceptible to flooding. During Hurricane Matthew, our farmers came together to help those in need. When necessary, we moved animals to higher ground, delivered feed to farms only accessible by boat, and provided fuel to those without power. We took steps to secure lagoons. Those actions allowed our farms to protect their animals — and our environment — under incredibly challenging conditions. We hope and pray that no hurricane delivers that same punch. But if one does, you can rest assured that our farmers are prepared. — Andy Curliss, CEO

It is in medieval times when we have the first written witnesses about the village. Some documents of the 10th century mention it with the names of Petra scissa and Petra cortada. The castle of Peratallada, around which the population was sheltered, was the center of the barony that belonged to the Peratallada lineage, documented since the eleventh century. The castle is proven to have existed in 1065 but some architectural structures seem to show that this nucleus already had a fortress from earlier. The fortified nucleus is built on a huge base of natural sandy rock, artificially cut to give it verticality. The rocky mound rises 4 or 5 meters above the surrounding terrain. Above it rises the great castle, with its characteristic keep, and the magnificent palace, facing east, which overlooks the Plaza del Castillo. The wall surrounding the main tower adapts to the irregular shape of the hill and reaches a considerable height. Remains of battlements can also be seen, giving a great attraction and mysticism to the construction. The tall keep, the hallmark of the town, is rectangular in plan, crowned by square battlements. It has a voussoir door and had an intermediate wooden floor. It is built with rows of squared ashlars.

Cannabis is a genus of plants that encompasses species C. sativa, C. indica, and C. ruderalis. Each of these species has its own unique terpene and cannabinoid compounds, which is why there are so many varieties of marijuana available on the market. In addition to pure indica, sativa, and ruderalis varieties, hybrid varieties with varying proportions of these three types are also common. Growers cross cannabis plants to develop new strains with specific characteristics, and experts suggest that there are more than 700 varieties of cannabis. But scientifically, we don't know how, or why, or even if sativas and indicas exist in pure form. Myles suggests that it is better to think that the herb exists on a spectrum of sativa and indica, and the most accurate way to describe the herb is its THC and CBD content rather than its genetic heritage.Autoflowering cannabis strains have the advantage of being discreet due to their small stature. They also require shorter growth periods, as well as having the added advantage that they don't rely on a change in photoperiod to determine when to flower. Lowryder was an early autoflowering hybrid that maintained the flowering behavior of ruderalis plants, while producing appreciable amounts of THC and CBD.The differences between marijuana varieties are due to the genetic makeup of existing cannabis species, as well as the different types of weed used by different stoners. Cannabis strains are pure or hybrid varieties of the plant genus Cannabis, which encompasses species C. Each strain has its own unique terpene and cannabinoid compounds that define all the differences.The most commonly cultivated species of the Cannabis genus are Cannabis indica and Cannabis sativa. A third species, Cannabis ruderalis, is very short and produces only traces of tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), so it is not commonly cultivated for industrial, recreational or medicinal use. However, because Cannabis ruderalis blooms regardless of photoperiod and age, it has been used to breed autoflowering strains.When it comes to the genetic differences between a strain of herb that is supposedly 30 percent indica and 70 percent sativa, or vice versa, science has already strongly suggested that it's a big lie. This may be because each strain has its own unique terpene and cannabinoid compounds that define all the differences.

Watch Scientists in Iceland Cook Hot Dogs on Lava From an Active Volcano When the average person sees lava spewing out of the ground, they may respond by running in the opposite direction. A group of scientists studying a volcano in Iceland took the opportunity to have a barbecue. A video from Reuters shows researchers roasting hot dogs on lava from the newly active Geldingardalsgos volcano in Fagradalsfjall, Iceland. After staying dormant for roughly 6000 years, the volcano awoke with a violent eruption on March 19, 2021. The event marks the first volcanic activity on the Reykjanes Peninsula in more than eight centuries, and it's drawn thousands of spectators to the site. The researchers were there to study the volcano, but they found time for fun as well. In the video below, you can watch them cook hot dogs by laying the sausages on the cooling lava. After toasting their buns the same way and dressing the hotdogs with ketchup, they enjoy the meal in the shadow of an active volcano. Lava has been proven to be a suitable replacement for grills in the past. Several years ago, Syracuse University researchers with the Lava Project used volcanic heat to cook a feast of steaks and salmon as well as hot dogs. A lava-fueled barbecue sounds like a fun idea, but getting close to an active volcano is incredibly risky, so it's best to leave this activity to the experts.

Groundwater Resources Information Groundwater is an important resource in Ventura County supplying more than 63% of the county’s water needs. The proper management of this limited resource is vital to meet the current and future demands of urban, industrial, agricultural and in-stream water uses. Management of this resource requires coordination among programs and projects to protect and enhance water supply and water quality to maintain sustainable supplies. There are many sources of information regarding local groundwater. The County of Ventura has a number of responsibilities regarding groundwater management and monitoring. Please visit their website for information: Sustainable Groundwater Management Act In September of 2014, the California Legislature enacted comprehensive legislation aimed at strengthening local control and management of groundwater basins throughout the state. Known as the Sustainable Groundwater Management Act (SGMA) of 2014, the legislation provides a framework for sustainable management of groundwater supplies by local authorities, with a limited role for state intervention when necessary to protect the resource. The first step in the process laid out by the legislation is that local agencies must form local groundwater sustainability agencies (GSAs) within two years. These GSAs must be formed to address groundwater basins determined by the state to be of high or medium priority. In the County 7 basins are designated as medium priority and four are designated as high priority. 10% of all Medium and High Priority Basins are in Ventura County. In addition, three basins the County are designated as critically overdrafted (Oxnard, Pleasant Valley, Cuyama Valley). Local Groundwater Management Agencies (GMA) Local Groundwater Sustainability Agencies (GSA): Groundwater Information Included in IRWM Plan: Several sections of the Watersheds Coalition of Ventura County IRWM Plan address groundwater resources and management:

Solve the name error pd not defined Make sure to import the pandas library into your Python script or Jupyter notebook and assign it the alias pd before invoking any of the library methods: import pandas as pd your_df = pd.DataFrame() Reproducing the name error Suppose that you run the following snippet in your Jupyter Notebook, Pycharm , Spyder, VS Code or other Python dev environment: # define lists of column values month = ['September', 'November', 'March', 'September'] salary = [141.0, 140.5, 102.0, 153.0] interviews = dict(month = month, salary = salary) #create DataFrame hr = pd.DataFrame(data=interviews) This will render a NameError exception. Here’s a screenshot from my Jupyter notebook: Understanding the error The root cause is that you are trying to use the pandas library before declaring it in your code. First you need to import the library, and then if interested define an alias for the library that you will use in your code. Fixing the error First off, make sure to verify that pandas is installed in your Python environment. Then make sure to import pandas and define the pd alias as shown below import pandas as pd #rest of your code here hr = pandas.DataFrame(data=interviews) Note: Although defining an alias for pandas (and other Python packages) in your code helps readability, that is not mandatory. You could as well use other alias than ‘pd’, although that is the standard notation. Same code without using the ‘pd’ alias: import pandas #rest of your code here hr = pandas.DataFrame(data=interviews)

Did you know that a Norwegian gold treasure once got rescued by a bunch of kids from the Nazis during World War II? True story! We read “Snow Treasure” at school and I was very impressed how brave and smart Peter Lundstrom and his friends helped to make it happen. Peter was a 12 year old Norwegian boy and one day when he came home from sled riding and having fun, he saw that the mood in town was rather down. He found out that the Nazis were about to invade Norway and everyone was worried getting the gold treasure out of the country. Peter’s uncle Victor came up with an idea: All children older than 10 years should carry the gold on their sleds to a special place, burry it in the snow and build a snow man on top for distraction. At night uncle Victor would come and get the treasure onboard his ship the Cleng Peerson to take it to America. Of course not everything went according to plan and Peter and his friends got into some trouble with a Nazi commandant. If you want to find out how the kids managed to rescue the treasure you should definitely read the book! How did I like the book? I really liked the book although it felt a bit strange to be the German kid in class when Germany is portrait as the evil enemy in the story. Luckily my teacher explained that this has nothing to do with Germany nowadays. It is important to remember what happened back then to make sure it never happens again. Who is that book for? This Book is for kids 8 years and older.

Can Lack Of Sleep Hurt Your Physical Fitness? Researchers in Holland had 11 men perform a 20-minute cycling endurance test in various scenarios.. One scenario was after a night with little or no sleep and then again after a full night's sleep. After each test, the athletes were asked to estimate the distance they believed they had covered over the 20 minutes. In both trials, the men cycled for an average of 7.6 to 7.7 kilometers, around five miles. What varied was how far they thought they biked. After a good night's sleep, the men estimated they had ridden 7.26 kilometers. Without sleep, that guess fell to just 6.51. It seems that the study is telling us that subjective estimates of performance are not in line with actual performance for endurance exercise after sleep deprivation. In other words, lack of sleep might make you feel wimpier than normal. That's good news for anyone whose sleep suffers from game day jitters: Even if you're feeling less than your best, you won't necessarily run a slower race or ruin your tennis match. Still, no need to stay up late on purpose. Regularly getting even just one extra hour of sleep a night has been shown to improve athletic performance, even if more sleep means less time to do other things.

GSI Educational Supplements aim to help bridge the knowledge gap between academics and the public, particularly high school students. Each educational supplement seeks to raise awareness about genocide and other atrocity crimes among future generations, and inspire students to act as engaged global citizens, by providing a lesson plan and worksheet on content from the journal for teachers to use in their classes. We're aware of the gap between knowledge created by and for researchers, and knowledge consumed by a broad audience, including high school students, and we wanted to begin to build a bridge between the two. It's our hope that this supplement, and the others that follow, will bring the latest research about genocide and human rights to anyone who would like to access it, and allow the next generation of human rights leaders to participate in the conversations and debates happening today. Prof. Jennifer Rich, Associate Professor, Rowan University Holocaust Memorial Day This Education Supplement has been created in honor of International Holocaust Remembrance Day, marked annually on January 27th. It begins with a brief background of the commemoration day, and then moves into the harder work of defining the Holocaust. Here, students are presented with five definitions of the Holocaust and asked to read them for similarities and differences before considering which they feel is most appropriate.

Amblyopia In Adults Amblyopia is the most common form of impairment of vision affecting one eye, with a prevalence of about 1–5% of the total world population. Amblyopia in adults is caused by abnormal visual experience during the early years of childhood. Amblyopia in adults results in dramatic loss of visual acuity in an apparently healthy eye. Visual deprivation or ocular abnormalities during early years of life can result in long-term or even permanent damage to the vision. This period during the early years of life (up to age 7-9) is called the critical age. Treating amblyopia during these years will achieve best results. It was accepted in the past that, due to a lack of sufficient plasticity within the brain, amblyopia in adults is untreatable. However, recent studies show that rehabilitation and recovery from amblyopia in the adult brain is achievable even after the critical age due to plasticity of the brain. Amblyopia in adults is treatable using optometric strategies boosting brain plasticity which may allow vision improvement in amblyopia in adults. Revitalvision is a unique treatment for amblyopia in adults, since it is the only treatment available for children over the age of 9 and adults, well after the end of the critical period .Revitalvision eye exercises stimulate specific areas in the brain and take advantage of the plasticity of the brain in adults, leading to improvement of the visual acuity. These exercises last approximately 30 minutes each and are done under the supervision of an optometrist or ophthalmologist. More than 85% of patients who were candidates for this treatment and completed its course improved their visual acuity by 2.5 rows on the vision chart and showed 100% improvement in their contrast sensitivity. amblyopia treatment for adults

Darwin & the Declaration of Independence The Declaration of Independence declared all men equal. Whatever the differences among humans, none amounted to the difference between humans and the animals that they could use as they saw fit. As equal to each other in this sense, no one had the right to rule or use anyone else, as all had the right to rule or use other animals. Legitimate government must arise, therefore, only from the consent of the governed. This sense of what justice required rested on the idea that humans formed a distinct kind, different from other animals and all other kinds of things found in the world. The distinctions between kinds were not arbitrary or invented, but natural. Men were created equal. Modern science does not share this understanding of nature. This is most clear in Darwinism, the view taking its bearing, if not its every claim, from Darwin’s Origin of Species. In its contemporary form, Darwinism denies that life is by nature organized into different kinds and that there is any rank of superior or inferior among natural beings. For some, this has come to mean that humans must treat animals as humans treat other humans. For others, it has come to mean that they may treat humans as humans treat animals. In either case, this is not the argument of the Declaration. What can be made of the Declaration’s argument in the light of modern science? And if in the Declaration’s view science was the ally of liberal politics, revealing in its spreading light the order of nature upon which those politics rested, what of the relation of science and politics now?

The word ‘Mashru’ comes from the Arabic word ‘shari a’ that means “permitted by Islamic law.” Mashru was developed around the sixteenth century to allow Muslim men to exercise some agency within a rigid sartorial system that prohibited luxury in their lifestyles; in this system, silk was equated with leisure and decadence. Not quite silk, and not quite not, Mashru was a brilliant, highly skilled invention that presented a blurring of binaries in being both silk and cotton. The warp faced satin weave allowed silk to be visible on the surface, giving the fabric its desired shine. Mashru broke a rule within a system, and emerged as a legally ‘permitted’ fabric for men to wear. Mashru came to India through the silk route. It was originally woven in three parts of India: Gujarat, The Deccan and Uttar Pradesh. The colour palettes used to weave Mashru were mostly bright, often striped, and the textile was commonly dotted with motifs. One type of Mashru even used ikat. Despite its versatility, Mashru showed its deep Ottoman and Mughal influences. Photographed by: Prarthna Singh

This resource guide has been designed for students in ANIMALS & POLITICS, a Fall 2022 Expos 20 course taught by Sparsha Saha. The resources and strategies described on this page invite you, first of all, to explore widely and to think creatively and flexibly about what sources of research can be. Animal Studies is a rich and multi-faceted topic: it has generated interest across the academic disciplines, and across cultures, time periods, and formats. So see our suggestions simply as starting points -- a preliminary toolkit or research workbench. They represent our first best guesses at where you might find background research, primary source materials, and current scholarly conversations to use in your essays and capstone project. As you proceed, other resources or other problem-solving strategies may have to be added in. Remember that good research is often about following up on hunches, testing out a hypothesis and then seeing where else (or to what else) it leads. You may need to try several search combinations before you strike gold. Let me know if questions arise at any point in your project. We'll triage by email or set up a time to meet in person in Lamont or online on Zoom. Enjoy your work!

While the specific products can vary, one of the most prized materials is known as WS2 tungsten disulfide. There are many benefits to this particular material and its many qualities. There are times in high altitudes when no amount of lubrication is going to work properly or as well as you think it should. However, tungsten disulfide has a natural level of low friction that can overcome any limitations that the lubricant may have. Since friction between moving parts is reduced, the emissions that are put forth by the engine are dramatically reduced. This not only saves on fuel but is also much better for the environment as well. While perhaps not able to be legally labeled as “green,” it is still much better than the alternatives. If moving parts are under constant friction, this also leads to the constant need for repair. In turn, parts that are under repair mean that there is unwanted downtime that correlates with the repair. Downtime equates to lost money when it comes to your company’s bottom line. It is not uncommon for the coating to shift thicknesses when it is made from inferior materials. This is due to molecular shift caused when heated. However, WS2 tungsten disulfide particles are not able to bond to each other so the coating is always a constant thickness.

Previous: Cimmerian Timeline Part 22 982BCE: King Cogard elected to build a new capital for his kingdom at a site he had seen while traveling. He and most of the Dwarves of Dalleer left, heading north by northwest. 981BCE: The dwarves reached the new site of their capital, Jord. They began building fantastic structures both above and below the ground in the great hills of Jord. 974BCE: The bulk of construction on Jord was declared completed. Cogard invited dwarves from all across Cimmeria to come to a ceremony declaring the new capital as the center of his kingdom. 973BCE: A grand party was held in Jord. Dwarves from Zeus’s Canvas, Dalleer, the Terror Mountains, and the Underdark arrived to pay homage to their king. A delegation arrived from the Dominarie Mountains bearing gifts for the new king. The Dominarie delegates clarified that they were only congratulating King Cogard on his achievement and they were not declaring fealty by any means. Cogard responded by announcing his engagement to Pristanon, the daughter of a clan leader in the Terror Mountains. The priest in the Dominarie delegation smiled and said a blessing to grant King Cogard many children. 971BCE: Queen Pristanon gave birth to quadruplets, all sons. 961BCE: King Cogard sent his four sons to different parts of the kingdom. One to the Terror Mountains, one to the Underdark, and one to Dalleer. His final son was sent to the Dominarie Mountains to be raised in Queen Shortrastor’s court. In exchange Queen Shortrastor sent her daughter to be raised by King Cogard. 948BCE: Albirnon, the son of King Cogard sent to the Dominarie Mountains, went missing. Queen Shortrastor apologized profusely. The boy had been rambunctious and constantly wandered into the unsafe tunnels beneath the Queen’s capital city. King Cogard demanded that his son be found. Shortrastor’s daughter became a hostage. The Queen of Dominarie began a kingdom wide search for the missing prince. 2 thoughts on “Cimmerian Timeline Part 23”

The QJulianCalendar class provides Julian calendar system implementation. More... |CMake:|| find_package(Qt6 REQUIRED COMPONENTS Core) | target_link_libraries(mytarget PRIVATE Qt6::Core) |qmake:||QT += core| The Julian calendar, proposed by Julius Caesar in 46 BC (708 AUC), was a reform of the Roman calendar. It took effect on 1 January 45 BC (AUC 709), by edict. It was the predominant calendar in the Roman world, most of Europe, and in European settlements in the Americas and elsewhere, until it was refined and gradually replaced by the Gregorian calendar, promulgated in 1582 by Pope Gregory XIII. The Julian calendar gains against the mean tropical year at the rate of one day in 128 years. For the Gregorian calendar, the figure is one day in 3030 years. The difference in the average length of the year between Julian (365.25 days) and Gregorian (365.2425 days) is 0.002%. © 2023 The Qt Company Ltd.

Teflon cookware is widely popular in many kitchens across Ohio. While its non-stick surface has made it a convenient alternative to other types of cookware — such as stainless steel or cast iron — it is not necessarily safer than these alternatives. In fact, Teflon has been the focus of an Environmental Protection Agency investigation since the 1990s and apparently contains toxic materials. Teflon contains an unnatural chemical known as Perfluorooctanoic Acid, also simply known by PFOA. Exposure to this chemical comes with various risks, perhaps due to the fact that it typically does not decompose easily, even in the presence of water or light. When lab animals were exposed to the chemical, they suffered various negative health effects. Perhaps more alarming is the EPA’s classification of PFOA, which suggests that it has carcinogen-like effects. DuPont, the manufacturer of Teflon, had to pay out millions of dollars for violating the Toxic Substances Control Act. Even though Teflon cookware is used widely used, the agency is still uncertain how exposure occurs across the nation and believes that DuPont failed to adequately warn of the dangers of exposure to PFOA. Ohio consumers place a significant amount of trust in manufacturers when bringing products into their homes, and they have the right to expect that products are safe and contain adequate warning labels to ensure the safest use possible. When those products cause injury or illness because of toxic materials, the aftermath can be devastating, both physically and financially. Often, one of the most favorable courses of action can be a product liability claim against the manufacturer or company. If successfully navigated to completion, a victim may be entitled to recourse that can compensate him or her for various related damages, including pain and suffering.

The biological desulfurization of coals was studied with pure cultures of mesophilic (Thiobacillus ferrooxidans and T. thioodixans) or thermophilic (Sulfolobus brierleyi) bacteria and acid mine water. These microorganisms were used with coals ranging in sulfur contents from 2 to 6%. The extent of removal of sulfur, ash and iron from coal was analyzed in terms of total sulfur, pyritic sulfur, organic sulfur, ash content, and liquid phase iron concentration. With S. brierleyi, CO2-enriched air resulted in a substantial increase in initial desulfirization rate of pyrite. With acclimated S. brierleyi, 15 to 20% organic sulfur removal was observed. Low-temperature Mössbauer spectroscopy data on iron phases in biotreated coal established that superparamagnetic iron oxyhydroxide (FeOOH) and jarosite were reprecipitated from solution onto the coal particles. |Number of pages||16| |Journal||Resources, Conservation and Recycling| |State||Published - Mar 1990| ASJC Scopus subject areas - Waste Management and Disposal - Economics and Econometrics

Sex and Death Bufo Colony Researchers WD Pappenheimer and JC Freeman, at the artistic medical laboratory, Virta-Flaneurazine, have bred a hardy specimen of Bufo Virtanus which flourishes particularly well across the mixed realms of real and virtual worlds. The prototype is the bufo toad, the species known in Australia as the Cane Toad, which was introduced to Queensland in 1935 to combat the Cane Beetle. Unfortunately this bio-attack never solved the beetle problem and the giant species of cane toads instead became an uncontrollable infestation. A subspecies of Bufo Virtanus was first produced for an augmented reality exhibition at the Museum of Modern Art in New York City. Like its physical ancestor, this version of the virtual toad also produces a bio engineered drug from its skin which can generate various visual and wandering experiences for those who come in contact with the toads. However, in this case these side effects are primarily cascading images and information emanating from the World Wide Web. This particular subspecies, developed in the area of the Royal Botanic Gardens Glass Pyramid, has been named the Sex and Death Bufo Colony, because it has developed visual traits of the Sex and Death orchid exhibition created there in 2005. In addition to sex and death, there were three themes identified during that exhibition; “Seduction”, “Cooperation” and “Deception.” Visitors to a colony of these toads will notice that they change different textural colors; pink, red, white and black. These are the colorations of some of the orchids in the preceding exhibition. They seduce with pink, cooperate or copulate with red and white, and finally deceive and die with a display of black. Since their introduction at the Botanic Gardens site, they have not only flourished there, but have proven to be highly mobile and eager to explore other local habitats. This has resulted in a number of members of the original colony migrating to the suburb of Surry Hills to establish a separate, but equally robust colony. To the best of our knowledge, there are no other viable infestation sites in the city at present, but this could easily change. Bufo Virtanus is, after all, an extremely adaptable organism with no known predators; either in the real or virtual world. Artist’s Websites : Virta-Flaneurazine, Willpap Projects

The Gospel of Luke – Jesus is for everyone: Introduction Luke 1:1-4; 2:8-11; 2:25-32 Luke was different to Matthew, Mark and John. Luke was a gentile. It is unlikely that he ever met Jesus, but he travelled with Paul on some of his journeys. Luke researched carefully and thoroughly the story of Jesus and wrote the Gospel of Luke and the book of Acts. He wrote these so that his readers could be confident of the truth about Jesus. It is important to know what we believe is based on the truth. Luke’s message is that Jesus is for everyone. Luke wanted his readers to know that: - Jesus is for people of every type of background – Jesus came to save everyone. He is the saviour of the world. He mixed and spoke to people from every background. - Jesus is Good News of joy for everyone – In Luke 2:10 the angel said that he brought GOOD NEWS that would cause great joy to ALL PEOPLE. The Jews thought that the Messiah would come just for them. The angel revealed that Jesus had come for everyone. We are not meant to keep Jesus to ourselves. - Jesus is a light to the Gentiles – In Luke 2:29-32 Simeon declared that Jesus was a light to the Gentiles. These were dangerous words to speak aloud in the temple. There was a riot when Paul came and declared the same thing in the temple years later. Jesus was not just the Jewish Messiah. He came to save everyone. We need to let the light of Jesus shine out of us into the world around us. “Fill us up and send us out” should be our prayer.

The sheer plasticity of the brain often contradicts our ideas about what we “can” or “can’t” do. Question: How can we take better advantage of the plasticity of our brains?rn David Shenk: Well the most important thing is just to keep that plasticity in mind, to understand that this is a dynamic situation whether you’re 2 years old or 10 years old or 50 or 80 years old. The brain is plastic. It’s obviously slightly less plastic as we get older, but there are wonderful opportunities and when you apply yourself to a skill you are not only developing muscles in your fingers, your hands or whatever it is. You are actually… Most of the changing is actually going on in your brain and those are physical changes that can be mapped out. It’s amazing if you look at that science that looks at cab drivers and their knowledge or violinists or Braille readers you see that as people apply themselves to a certain skill over many, many years time the correlation of their abilities can be seen in the physical adaptation of their brain, which is an amazing idea and if we keep that idea in our heads and we apply that just philosophically to this idea of what can I do and what can’t I do and kind of push out this idea that we’re born with a certain fixed quantity of musical talent or artistic talent or mathematical intelligence, just kind of push that out of the way and also at the same time look at these great achievers and realize that if you look at how they became great it’s not that they just suddenly were great or they were born great. There is a process over time of how they persevered and pushed beyond their ability, had the right teachers, had the right attitude and got there. It’s a process, not a thing. That’s what I say over and over in the book is that talent and intelligence are not things. They’re processes that we apply in our lives. Recorded on January 19, 2010 Interviewed by Austin Allen

Once you learn more about the whole genus of Salvia, you can only fell in love with them! There are almost one thousand species in this group which offer such a variation of color, shape and foliage. Their color range is outstanding from blue to lilac, from white to dark red and creamy yellow to dark orange. All have nectar-rich flowers that attract pollinators and bring your garden to life. Poinsettia needs no introduction. What would Christmas be without poinsettias? Offered in many different colors, from classic red to bronze/yellow, euphorbia pulcherrima (that’s its official name) is a must for December decorations. Many people call it “The Christmas Plant” or just “the Red plant” for it’s unique massive red bractia that we are used in coloring our houses in December. Mandevilla is an evergreen climbing plant coming from South America. It looks a lot like Dipladenia and many people confuse those two species. The breeders make this worse by creating hybrids between those species but the result is simply amazing! Native to Central and South America, Lantana is a bushy perennial shrub that has rough and jagged bright green leaves, which, if broken, exude an unforgetable fragrance. They will not stop flowering during summer and won’t require a lot of attention to make a garden looks fabulous, even when nothing else can stand the warm and dry summer normally found in Mediterranean. There are not a lot new things for us to say about Hydrangea that you don’t already know. Known throughout the world for its extraordinary flowering Hydrangea (or hortensia) has large and serrated dark green leaves and produces a large balloon composed of many small flowers of various colours, from white to pink to liliac up to blue.

Butchering with stone tools: an experimental approach to use wear analysis and taphonomic studies of the archeological material from Grotta Breuil (Monte Circeo) Download Full Text Use wear analysis on lithic tools and taphonomic studies conducted on the archaeological materials from the Mousterian site of Grotta Breuil, indicated that butchering activities were carried out in this cave throughout the period of occupation of the site. The aim of the present research is to understand better the influence of the morphology of the small lithic tools of this site on carcass processing strategies. This was accomplished by means of a series of experiments, inspired by the archaeological record, that were carried out with replicas of the tools recovered at Grotta Breuil. The experimental evidence was evaluated and then compared with the archaeological data. such comparison gave many suggestions about the functional potential of the artifacts, about the action related to the different activities and the modifications that such activities produced on the bones.

Teaching team members to correctly label tasks Over the past few years, I've seen the name Eisenhower next to the word “matrix” more often than his first name “Dwight.” Before becoming the 34th President of the USA, Dwight Eisenhower was a five-star general in the army. He was known to be a very productive man. One of his secrets to achieving high productivity was discern the important from the non-important and the urgent from the non-urgent. He famously said: “What is important is seldom urgent, and what is urgent is seldom important.” That's where the Eisenhower matrix comes into play. It's a simple framework to assist someone in thinking about a task. After reflection, the task is assigned to one of four categories. Each category has a clear direction: 1) Important & urgent: address right away 2) Important & not urgent: schedule it for later 3) Not important & urgent: find the most qualified person for the task 4) Not important & not urgent: do not address at all Leaders have the responsibility to help put the correct label on tasks. The Eisenhower matrix is a tool to do just that. It's easy to teach and to use together with a team member. The goal is to avoid the pernicious feeling that everything is both important and urgent.

This is an unusual work of the artist, for the simple reason that it doesn't fall into most of the usual categories into which Albrecht Dürer's projects usually fall. Much of this particular artist's work was religious and especially scriptural in nature. His art is revered in both the Lutheran and Episcopal churches. Also, much of his art brings us straight back to that 15th-century/16th-century period. Albrecht Dürer tends not to recreate Biblical times for his audience when he explores Biblical themes. He prefers to set his work in his own time and place, so we often get surprising glimpses into Albrecht Dürer's world. However, this watercolour reproduction of an iris flower simply shows the timeless beauty of nature. Flowers in their fresh beauty don't really change over time. The flower may wither and die but thousands more will take their place. Judging by the skill and attention to detail, this could easily be a contemporary painting. Fans of the artist wishing to behold the original painting, in its pristine beauty, may do so in the gallery where it is currently housed. For those interested to know, the painting is presently housed in the collection at the Monasterio de El Escorial, Spain. This is a royal palace that houses many different facilities, including a museum and art gallery. It's a regal setting for a special painting. Throughout his varied career, Albrecht Dürer is seen to have worked in many different media. His curious mind explored different expressions of art and he was constantly trying to learn more. In addition to his famed engravings, he also painted in both watercolours and oils. This watercolour project was created in 1508. It is a triumph of still life. The flower, as if frozen in time, retains its deep and dark shade. It has often been noticed that Dürer's still life paintings possess an almost photographic quality, despite the fact that the concept didn't even exist in his time. He has captured this flower for posterity, for future generations to enjoy five centuries later. His skill is awesome. What we're beholding is a virtual snapshot of a flower from five centuries ago. The painting also exudes peace and serenity, which is also an awesome achievement.

The fuel tank is a part of the engine system, containing oil, gasoline or ethanol… The average capacity of a car today is about 45-70 liters. Some large, specially designed vehicles may be taller. In addition to the main fuel tank, some cars also have an auxiliary fuel tank, also known as a reserve tank. For example, Lexus LX570, Toyota Land Cruiser… have a 93-liter main tank and 45-liter sub-tank. The position of the fuel tank is usually located below the rear seats. In the unfortunate event of an accident, this is the position that is least affected. The fuel tank on tractors and trucks is usually located right behind the front of the vehicle. Information about the tank capacity as well as the type of fuel that the vehicle uses is usually written on the inside of the tank cap. For example, 60L Diesel means that the vehicle is designed to hold 60 liters of oil, including a spare tank (if applicable) . If the fuel tank capacity of the car is 60 liters, the needle indicates the E level (about to run out), the nearest gas station actually still has 5-10 liters left. However, users should leave gasoline in the tank from 1/4 or more, because if you often run in a state of low gas, it will harm the car. The cars in the video are junk, but there is still gas in each car, so they took advantage of the liters of gasoline inside the tank to save gas. Many netizens also expressed their opinions on this “All the gasoline on the ground… not very efficient… lol” Leave a Reply

At Woodentops we believe it is important to learn to make healthy eating choices from a young age. We make meal times a social and educational experience for the children. They eat together around large tables as family groups. This promotes good eating habits and table manners. Our younger children watch older children feeding themselves and our older children learn to share and pass things around the table, with a real emphasis on good manners. Staff join the children at the table, helping to feed the babies and talking to the older children about what’s on the menu that day. For breakfast we serve a selection of porridge, muesli, cereal, yogurt, toast or fruit depending on the season. Our mid-morning and mid-afternoon snacks are healthy and appetizing and designed to fill the gap between main meals. They include fruit or crudité twice a day. Our older children learn to help prepare their own snack and to serve themselves. Lunch and supper are both substantive meals offering a varied and balanced diet, tailored to each child’s stage of weaning. Our meals are prepared by a specialist nursery catering company who deliver freshly cooked hot food to us daily. The menus are put together following the guidelines of the Caroline Walker Trust daily nutritional guidelines for under 5’s and represent a healthy, balanced, age appropriate diet. The meals are micro-biologically tested by an accredited laboratory to monitor salt, sugar and fat content in the meals. We display this nutritional chart (which uses the traffic light system) in our nurseries alongside the menus. Our suppliers source as much of their produce as locally as possible. The menus rotate on a three weekly basis and change seasonally for summer and winter. One of the highlights of the menu is the Around the World Day once every three weeks. As part of this the children are introduced to food from different cultures. Fresh drinking water is always available in the rooms and the children have their own named cups. We provide cow’s milk at snack time for our older children.

After reading this guide you will be able to block internet access over a home network or any network that your are an administrator to. This guide is a very simple collection of steps that do not require any additional software or firewall support to block internet access & just allow file & printer sharing. There are situations where one needs to allow or block internet usage to some users over a network. There are different methods that can be used to do the same, though the most easy method is given below: Let’s assume that you have a network running with single or multiple routers, either in home or office & you wish to block just the internet access to specific and / or all users. For this you have to login to your router by either IP address or router address & provide your username & password therein. Now in DHCP or DNS setting just uncheck the automatic DNS & mention the DNS settings to be anything you wish. for example: 192.168.1.15 or anything you like except the router’s IP address. Now all the computer systems over your network might still show the internet to be connected but will not resolve / open any websites. To enable network access in a specific computer, just go the properties of the network adapter of that specific computer & within the IP address menu mention any open DNS. i.e 220.127.116.11 18.104.22.168 or Google DNS would also do. And that is all there is to it.

Bacterial secondary metabolites have been studied for decades for their usefulness as drugs, such as antibiotics. However, the identification of new structures has been decelerating, in part due to rediscovery of known compounds. Meanwhile, multi-resistant pathogens continue to emerge, urging the need for new antibiotics. It is unclear how much chemical diversity exists in Nature and whether discovery efforts should be focused on established antibiotic producers or rather on understudied taxa. Here, we surveyed around 170,000 bacterial genomes as well as several thousands of Metagenome Assembled Genomes (MAGs) for their diversity in Biosynthetic Gene Clusters (BGCs) known to encode the biosynthetic machinery for producing secondary metabolites. We used two distinct algorithms to provide a global overview of the biosynthetic diversity present in the sequenced part of the bacterial kingdom. Our results indicate that only 3% of genomic potential for natural products has been experimentally discovered. We connect the emergence of most biosynthetic diversity in evolutionary history close to the taxonomic rank of genus. Despite enormous differences in potential among taxa, we identify Streptomyces as by far the most biosynthetically diverse based on currently available data. Simultaneously, our analysis highlights multiple promising high-producing taxas that have thus far escaped investigation. Link to the article here.

Artificial intelligence and engineering for healthcare crises Over the last half-decade, the term “Artificial Intelligence” (AI) has become ubiquitous in the field of healthcare technologies, with machine learning applied to clinical tasks such as radiation oncology treatment planning, breast cancer screening diagnoses and triaging patients in primary care settings based on self-reported symptoms. The onset of COVID-19 has sparked a new level of pragmatism, breaking down pre-conceptions over the near-term role of AI and seeing it brought to bear on urgent global challenges by new multi-disciplinary consortia united by a common cause. To prepare us against any future pandemics, we must use and share the experiences and lessons we’ve learnt from COVID-19. This report answers key questions from data scientists and engineers, features case studies where AI was used to tackle the pandemic and shares the next steps and recommendations needed to improve our health emergency planning. Putting into place new systems, faster methods of data collection and diagnosis, and supporting new product innovations are the steps we need to better equip us for future challenges. Our recommendations aim to help create the resilient system we need, requiring a collaborative effort between the healthcare industry, governments and public.

What is pedagogy? An explanation of what pedagogy and andragogy are. What is pedagogy? The word ‘pedagogy’ is derived from a Greek expression which literally means ‘to lead a child’. It is the word used to describe the theory and practice of education, particularly in an academic sense. Herbart (cited in Kenklies, 2012) is generally considered to be the founding father of the concept of pedagogy: his approach emphasised five steps to be followed in the teaching process, which are: preparation, presentation, association, generalisation and application. Key educational theorist Friere (1970) described his method of teaching as ‘critical pedagogy’, which combined education with critical theory and focused on relationships between teaching and learning, encouraging students to think critically about their educational situation and to identify and acknowledge the ‘connections between their individual problems and the social contexts in which they are embedded’ (Boyce, 2002). It is important to acknowledge that the teaching of adults has some critical differences to the teaching of children; this discipline is therefore referred to as ‘andragogy’ (literally translated as ‘to lead man’). Andragogy is distinct because it acknowledges the learners’ life experience and tendency towards self-direction (Knowles et al., 2005). Ultimately, both pedagogy and andragogy aim to explore and ascertain how best to teach particular learners to ensure their full development as human beings. Boyce, M. E.

Activity of primary auditory neurons in the cochlear ganglion of the emu Dromaius novaehollandiae: spontaneous discharge, frequency tuning, and phase locking. The spontaneous and pure-tone sound-driven activity of primary auditory units was recorded in the cochlear ganglion of emu chicks aged between post-hatching days 1 and 14. Spontaneous activity tended to increase both with the chick’s age and as a function of the unit’s characteristic frequency (CF). The CF of 887 units ranged from 0.04 to 4 kHz, the thresholds down to 0 dB SPL. Although the CF range did not change, the thresholds improved with age during the first two weeks after hatching, by up to 18 dB at the highest frequencies. The threshold spread between units of similar CF in single animals was up to 60 dB. Rate-threshold tuning-curve symmetry varied with CF. In low-frequency units, the slope of the low-frequency tuning-curve flank was on average steeper than the high-frequency flank, whereas for high-frequency units, the reverse was true. Units of CF > 0.5 kHz generally showed low-frequency “tails” similar to those seen in mammalian primary auditory fibers. The mean tuning-curve frequency selectivity increased with CF. For units of CF > 0.2 kHz, thresholds were moderately correlated with tuning-curve frequency selectivity. Significant phase locking was observed up to about 4 kHz, the corner frequency of phase locking being at 1.15 kHz. J Acoust Soc Am. 1997 Mar;101(3):1560-73. Founded in 1989, The American Emu Association is a non-profit trade association representing breeders, producers and marketers of emu meat, oil and other emu co-products.

Economics assignment mithal shah Name: Mithal Shah Roll no. BL-1657 Section B (Group 9) A monopoly is a market structure in which there is a single supplier of a product. Monopolies exist because of barriers to entry into a market that prevent competition. The monopoly firm (monopolist): May be small or large. Must be the only supplier of the product. Sells a product for which there are only close substitutes. True monopolies generally exist in government-controlled markets. E.g., PTCL: Pakistan telecommunication company limited. WAPDA: The water and power development. Monopoly in private business is rare. Private firms who have considerable market share. E.g., Microsoft, intel, google, TYPES OF MONOPOLY Natural monopoly: A monopoly that arises from economies of scale. The economies of scale arise from natural supply and demand conditions, and not from government actions. Local monopoly: a monopoly that exists in a limited geographic area. Regulated monopoly: a monopoly firm whose behavior is overseen by a government Monopoly power: market power, the power to set prices. Monopolization: an attempt by a firm to dominate a market or become a monopoly. The case of monopolist (E.g., Government controlled endeavors) might choose not to take advantage of these potential Profit. For example, In Pakistan power is provided by government claimed endeavors (E.g.,WAPDA) because of which the undertaking not take advantage of likely benefits anyway it’s the only producer it can exert its power. Rather than this, it changes the maximum cost fixed by the government

What Do You Know About Bruxism? - Posted on: Sep 30 2016 - Leave a response Life can be stressful – everyone is stressed to some degree, and the search for stress-relievers is common. Yoga and meditation may help, as well as regular exercise and walking. Did you know that stress can manifest itself in the unconscious grinding of your teeth or the clenching of your jaw? This is called bruxism and it affects approximately 40 million adults and children. It is believed by some experts that bruxism is just a bad habit. But it may be the result of your body’s reaction to your teeth not lining up or coming together properly. This is called your “bite.” When your teeth rub together, the outer layers of tooth enamel can wear away and teeth become sensitive. Severe bruxism can damage your teeth and even break dental fillings. You may grind your teeth when you sleep. This is called nocturnal bruxism, and sometimes results in waking with a dull headache or facial or jaw pain (TMJ). You may grind and clench your teeth during the day…and you may not even be aware that you’re doing it. Bruxism may also be a side effect of some medicines that treat depression, such as Prozac or Paxil, or it may be a symptom of diseases of the facial nerves and muscles. If you suffer from bruxism and think it may be stress-related, try to research strategies that will help you relax or cut back on your intake of caffeine. Some of the symptoms of bruxism are headaches, broken fillings, popping or clicking in your jaw, facial pain, and tight or painful jaw muscles. If you think you may be suffering from bruxism, don’t wait – call to schedule a consultation. At that time, we will discuss your medications, your sleep habits, the possible sources of your stress and your general health. We will examine the alignment of your teeth and look for tenderness in your jaw and facial muscles. There are ways we can help: (303) 277-9600. Posted in: Bruxism

Up to 40 per cent of dementia can be prevented by addressing health and lifestyle factors that include increasing physical activity and maintaining a healthy diet and social connectedness. Unfortunately, this message is not reaching Australia’s culturally and linguistically diverse (CALD) communities, where there is a limited awareness of dementia and dementia prevention. With federal government funding, the National Ageing Research Institute (NARI) and Moving Pictures have addressed this gap by developing an animated video about dementia prevention in 9 languages as part of the Animating for Dementia Prevention (ADAPT) project. As part of this project, NARI and Moving Pictures have co-produced with CALD communities a short, animated film that translates cutting-edge evidence into simple messages on how to reduce dementia risk at any age. This free video resource is available in Hindi, Cantonese, Mandarin, Italian, Spanish, Vietnamese, Greek, Tamil, Arabic and English. Members of these language-speaking communities in Australia and overseas are invited to participate in an online evaluation and help us to find out how effective the animation is in showing people how to reduce their risk of dementia. Participation involves watching the animation and completing an anonymous online survey, which takes 10-15 minutes. Complete the survey online to learn more about the evaluation, watch the animation, and provide your feedback.

Traditionally used to designate bloody rituals practiced in so-called ‘primitive societies’, the notion of sacrifice is commonly understood as a strategic investment in which the renunciation of something valuable is compensated by a more advantageous return. Sharing such a functionalist perspective, social theorists describe sacrifice as a means to renewing social and/or religious bonds through the transgression of social and/or religious boundaries. However, social theorists do not explain why men need to renew such bonds – i.e. what lies behind the human desire to unite with the divine and why violence exists in the first place – and ultimately leave unresolved the question of sacrifice’s deep origins. This article examines how two French theorists, namely Georges Bataille and René Girard, attempt to overcome the theoretical constraints faced by their predecessors and offer an innovative answer to the question of sacrifice’s deep origins, providing Western functionalist sacrifice theories with an unprecedented depth.

In regard to the overall type of photographs, whether the composition be an individual room or an overall structure, and where ambient lighting is limited, the camera’s light metering can be fooled or inaccurate. For example, one may be faced with one extreme, in which the scene is basically void of ambient light. The camera will not likely be able to meter the light and unable to come up with a proper exposure. Certainly in this case supplemental light must be added to the composition in order to record an image. At the other extreme, the scene will have adequate ambient light to record an image, but because the scene is mostly black in color, the camera will overexpose the composition. The overexposure occurs because the camera wants to turn the black, soot-stained surfaces the color of 18% gray, thereby overexposing the composition. Consequently, fire photographers must be able to adjust for both extremes, and recognizing how one’s personal camera interprets light in these situations will assist them in making the appropriate corrections to the camera’s exposure evaluations. Not all cameras are equal, and although they all are searching for 18% gray, they do not always arrive at that value in the same manner. Therefore, those photographing fire scenes should definitely practice with their equipment and obtain a general idea how their equipment reacts to different photographic challenges found at fire scenes.

An actual breach of contract happens when one of the parties to a contract refuses to fulfill some or all of their obligations by the due date. An anticipatory breach, on the other hand, occurs when one party to a contract, before the due date for performance, makes it known that they will not perform their obligations. For example, Mr. Smith agrees to cut Mr. Bob's lawn for three months for $25 per month (February, March, and April). On January 23 Mr. Smith tells Mr. Bob that he is not going to cut his lawn. This is a simple example of an anticipatory breach. In addition, breaches can be material or minor. A material breach relates to a main term or purpose of the contract. For example, if Bob hires Sue to build him a grocery store, and instead Sue builds Bob a clothing store that does not meet his needs, the breach will be deemed material. In this case, Bob will not have to perform anymore under the agreement and will have a right to certain remedies. A minor breach is different and less severe but can still be important. For example, suppose that Shane hires Phil to build a home. Phil builds the home according to the terms of the agreement, but the home is finished one day late. This could be deemed a minor breach. However, if the contract included a provision that time was critical, for example, the breach could significantly affect Shane's expenses or other commitments if completing the home is delayed. If not, a court would likely consider it minor in nature.

Good Shepherd Episcopal School The Good Shepherd Episcopal School and the adjacent church are all that remain of the historic Pennick community, a settlement of the descendants of freed men and women in Brunswick, Ga. Both the school and church were founded in the early 20th century by Anna Ellison Butler Alexander, whose parents had been enslaved. Known as a devout, generous Christian who served her community, Alexander’s congregation regularly contributed funds for the less fortunate. In fact, Good Shepherd gave more to charities around the world than any other church in the Diocese. Because of her leadership, Alexander became the first African American deaconess in the Episcopal Church in 1907. Almost a century later in 1998, Anna was named a Saint of Georgia by the Diocese of Georgia, affirming the deep impact she and her school had on her community. Over the years, like many small congregations, Good Shepherd has seen a decline in parishioners. Financial resources for the maintenance of the schoolhouse have dwindled. Recent hurricanes and weather damage have taken a toll on the building, leaving portions exposed to the elements. A charming but unassuming structure, the Good Shepherd School is worthy of preservation as a resource to the community to continue the legacy of its founding deaconess.

Authored by Jenna Carter, UMN Public Health Nutrition Program Which Fruit or Vegetable am I? Here are some clues: o I am the ovary of a flowering plant and am technically a berry. o I can be as small as a cherry or as big as a grapefruit. I also come in a variety of shapes. o I come in a variety of colors including red, yellow, green, orange, pink, purple, green and white. o I am very popularly canned and preserved for the winter time. o I am the state fruit/vegetable of New Jersey and Arkansas. o I am high in vitamins A and C, and am very low in calories! o I am high in lycopene, an antioxidant which has been associated with cancer prevention. Have you guessed!? I am a TOMATO! Tomatoes can be easily grown and are abundant during this time of the year. When buying, choose tomatoes that are bright, firm and have few wrinkled, bruised or dark areas. Store tomatoes on a countertop, stem scar up and be sure not to set in direct sunlight. This will prevent quicker ripening and softening of the tomato. Refrigeration is not typically recommended for storage because of increased flavor loss. Tomatoes are best eaten within 2-3 days, but can be easily preserved for later use. This is most commonly done through canning or freezing. The University of California has published a detailed document, Safe Methods to Store, Preserve, and Enjoy, for further information on preservation.

The Philippines is making significant progress in the renewable energy space and is poised to overtake Vietnam as Southeast Asia’s leading producer of green energy by 2030. Several government reforms aimed at promoting clean power are gaining traction, leading to increased investor interest and investment in the local renewable energy sector. Despite lagging behind Vietnam, which has a combined solar and wind power generation capacity of 12,379 MW, the Philippines is expected to add a total of 17,809 MW for solar and 7,856 MW for wind power by the end of the decade. This addition is necessary for the country to take the lead in green energy production, as its current combined solar and wind power generation capacity stands at 1,766 MW. The primary driver behind the Philippines’ push toward renewable energy is the depletion of the Malampaya gas field, the country’s largest source of natural gas, within the next five years. The government has launched several programs and initiatives to improve the country’s renewable energy capacity and promote clean energy over coal-fired power. One of the key initiatives includes the removal of restrictions on foreign ownership of energy assets. In March 2023, the Department of Energy (DoE) awarded three offshore wind energy contracts to a Danish firm, Copenhagen Investment Partners (CIP), which will invest $5 billion in offshore wind projects in the country. CIP will be the first foreign company to have 100% ownership of its projects, signaling a growing interest from global firms in renewable energy construction. Despite the progress, the Philippines still relies heavily on coal for nearly 60% of its electricity generation as of 2022. Nevertheless, with the government’s commitment to promoting renewable energy and the growing interest from investors, the country is well on its way to becoming a leading producer of green energy in Southeast Asia.

How to Prevent Heartworms in Your Dog? Heartworms are a serious and potentially fatal disease for dogs if left untreated. Fortunately, it is fairly easy to prevent heartworms in your dog with the right healthcare plan. Here are some tips on how to keep your dog safe and healthy: 1. Talk to Your Vet Start by talking to your vet about your dog’s individual risk factors and the available prevention options. Your vet will be able to best advise you on which medication and how often it should be administered to your particular dog in order to effectively prevent heartworms. 2. Use Heartworm Prevention Medication Your vet may recommend monthly heartworm prevention medication, such as tablets or topicals. This type of medication will help prevent heartworm larvae from hatching, maturing and reproducing in your dog’s blood. If recommended, it is important to stick to the treatment regimen as prescribed to ensure maximum protection from heartworms. 3. Control Fleas & Ticks Fleas and ticks are some of the most common carriers of heartworm larvae. Regular use of flea and tick control products, such as collars, or spot-on treatments can help control the population and odds of contracting heartworms from their bites. 4. Feed a Healthy Diet Make sure that your dog is getting all the necessary vitamins, minerals and nutrients to help keep his/her immune system healthy and strong. This can help reduce the chances of being infected with heartworms. 5. Get Regular Vet Check-Ups Regular check-ups and tests can help your vet detect any signs of heartworms before they can become life-threatening. Make sure to take your dog in for regular exams to ensure that any underlying health problems can be identified and treated quickly and effectively. By taking the needed steps and following the advice from your vet, you can help protect your dog from heartworms and ensure his/her long-term health and well-being. Keeping your furry family member safe and healthy is worth the effort.

Why does one cycle of tides take 24 hours and 50 minutes? As Earth rotates through its 24-hour day, the moon makes progress in its 27.3-day journey around Earth. In 24 hours, the moon has moved enough so that it takes another 50 minutes for any specific point on Earth to catch up to the moon. Why do the highest tides occur when the moon is new or full? The moon appears new (dark) when it is directly between Earth and the sun (with the sun lighting up its backside), and full when Earth is between the moon and the sun. In both these cases, the gravitational pull of the sun on Earth is added to the gravitational pull of the moon on Earth. The sun's pull is almost half as strong as the moon's, so working together, the oceans bulge even higher. In most places, the highest tides usually occur a day or two after new or full moon. This is because the tidal waves experience some friction in the ocean. Even though the gravitational pull of the moon is strongest on the day of the new moon, it takes the water a day or two to build up to its peak height. What causes neap tides? Neap tides are the weakest tides, when high tide isn't very high at all. These occur when the moon is in its first or last quarter (when we see half of its face), and the gravitational forces of the moon and the sun are acting at a 90-degree angle, thus nearly cancelling each other out. Why do some places have only one high tide and one low tide in a day? This is where predicting the tides gets more complicated. The moon does not orbit Earth directly around the equator. For one thing, remember that Earth's axis of rotation is tilted by about 23.5 degrees from the plane of its orbit around the sun. This tilt is what causes the seasons. Also, the moon's orbit around the Earth is tilted by about 5 degrees from the plane of Earth's orbit around the sun. Click to start or stop animations Thus, the maximum tidal bulge will usually be either above or below the equator. Sometimes, some places on Earth experience only one of the two tidal bulges in a day, producing only one high tide.

Many high school students focus on finding their dream college or university without really knowing what they’d like to do after post-secondary. Choosing your career in high school is not only mandatory but also allows you to choose the suitable courses that will lead you to your goal. Many colleges and universities choose students who are demonstrating their passion for their chosen industry. This can be clearly seen through your transcripts. Having a career plan in high school not only allows you to take courses that will prepare you for the prerequisites needed to be chosen but will also make your first year more enjoyable because you’ll understand the basics. Another side of choosing your career in high school is that it allows you a more in-depth look at your chosen industry and you may find it is not for you and that’s ok! Take this time to understand what your interests are. Is it math, science, technology, engineering, trades, or even the arts? Once you feel something is of interest then walk that pathway. Check out what that job/career entails and then make the decision to go forward or not! They say it’s not like work when you’re doing something you actually like! * Remember, post-secondary is very costly, try to choose carefully!

Biblical Principles for Young Children In the cornerstone years from infancy to kindergarten, we can apply the biblical foundations of human sexuality that we developed in the last chapter to begin to shape the sexual character of our children. Scripture starts to unfold its understanding of sexuality from the very beginning, with Creation. In these cornerstone years, we focus on themes based on a creational understanding of our sexuality; namely, we - establish that our children are loved beyond measure by their parents and by God, their heavenly Father; - teach them that God intended the family to be the primary arena for the experience of lifelong loyalty and devotion, and of love and unity; - develop their trust in God’s law as reliable and good; - convince them that their physical bodies, their sexual natures, and their capacity for sexual pleasure are all good and are blessings from God.

For R2103 you need two named examples of the following types of weed: Ephemeral – Senecio vulgaris – Groundsel; Cardamine hirsuta – hairy bittercress Annual – Chenopodium album – Fat Hen; Galium aparine – Goosegrass Perennial – Aegopodium podagraria – ground elder; Cirsium arvense – creeping thistle. You also need to know two weed examples of each of the following situations: Newly cultivated soil – ephemeral and annual weeds, e.g. Stellaria media and Cardamine hirsuta. The seeds of these weeds are often already in the soil and begin to germinate once exposed to light during cultivation. Herbaceous perennial borders – ephemerals and annuals can arise, but sometimes perennials, such as, Aegeopodium podagraria and Galium aparine. Woody perennial planting – the soil may be infrequently cultivated so perennials like brambles, Rubus fruticosus, and Bindweed, Calystegia sepium, may become established. Lawns – 1. lesser celandine (Ranunculus ficaria): Returf small areas containing celandine. Plants need two or three applications of weedkillers containing MCPA. 2. Slender speedwell (Veronica filiformis): Little response to lawn weedkillers. Re-seed or returf affected areas of lawn. This page is part of our 6-week RHS revision email series.

As states continue to labor toward health insurance exchanges, there have been concerns raised regarding the safety of medical and insurance documents stored online. These concerns stem from a provision of the Affordable Care Act that has health care and insurance professionals store consumer information electronically to allow quick and easy access. Electronic storage will be a major part of the coming online insurance exchanges, as it will allow doctors to access important medical information when treating patients. The safety of these documents has been questioned as hackers continue to sow strife in the online world. In California, more than 300,000 documents have been compromised. These documents were stored on the Internet and contained medical information, Social Security numbers and insurance forms. The sensitive documents were stored on a website by Southern California Medical-Legal Consultants, who believed that only state employees had access to. This belief was proven false, however, when Aaron Titus, a researcher at Identity Finder, an Internet security firm, found the documents through a simple web search. Fortunately, Titus’ first move was to alert officials that the personal information of thousands was at risk. While moves were made to protect these documents, it is unclear whether others had accessed the information through the same means that Titus had. This has led many to question the overall safety of online storing methods and officials have begun considering acquiring insurance protection against cyber attacks.

A daily glass of OJ reduces risk of stroke by almost 25% Great news, Uncle Matt’s lovers! Drinking a glass of orange juice each day may cut the risk of deadly strokes by almost a quarter, a major study published by the British Journal of Nutrition reports. Volunteers in the study who consumed a glass of juice a day saw their risk of a brain clot drop by 24%. This is according to the decade plus trial. Researchers in the Netherlands say it’s not just orange juice that has the benefit, other fruit juices also appear to cut the risk. The European Prospective Investigation into Cancer and Nutrition, the group behind the study, conducts major research investigating the influence of diet on a wide range of illnesses. Scientists at the Dutch National Institute for Public Health and the Environment tracked nearly 35,000 men and women ages 20 through 70 for almost 15 years. They examined at how self-reported consumption of fruit juices compared with the numbers of strokes over that period. The results showed four to eight glasses a week of orange or any other fruit juice cut stroke risk by almost a quarter. Even a glass every other day had significant benefits – lowering risk by 20 per cent. Rates of heart disease were also reduced in regular drinkers, who were 12 to 13 per cent less likely to suffer damaged arteries. Juice is thought to contain many of the naturally-occurring plant substances found in whole fruit that can protect blood vessels against strokes and other disease.

Uterine cancer and malignant endometrial tumor as a uterine medical concept as dangerous growth bodies in female body attacking reproductive system with 3D illustration elements. (Source: Shutterstock) Definition of uterine cancer Uterine cancer (or endometrial carcinoma) is a malignant tumour of the lining of the uterus. Women in the climacteric period are affected mostly after the menopause. Only about five percent are younger than 40 years old. In Western countries, uterine cancer occurs twice as often as cervical cancer. The rate of new cases per year has increased in recent years–it now stands at 25 in 100,000 women. Causes of uterine cancer It is believed that having an elevated oestrogen (estrogen) level for many years stimulates tumour formation; for example, women with cycle disorders, late menopause and hormone replacement therapy have a higher risk than the population average. Obesity, high blood pressure and diabetes mellitus II increase the tumour risk. It is well known that obesity increases oestrogen production. Any risk linked to the exposure to phytoestrogens (oestrogen-like substances in food) is so far unclear. However, it is thought that hormone therapy with oestrogen increases the risk. Symptoms of uterine cancer Early cancers can rarely be noticed in the context of screening. This tumour is noticeable early due to bleeding. Bleeding is always suspicious after the menopause, as is irregular with flesh-coloured discharge. Associated abdominal pain almost always indicates a far advanced, inoperable tumour. Diagnosis of uterine cancer To diagnose uterus carcinoma, one of the following is performed: magnetic resonance imaging, hysteroscopy (endoscopy of the uterus) or tissue extraction (curettage) The diagnosis is confirmed by a scraping of the uterus.

How skills training for women can change communities Ariane Hegewisch, who co-authored “Pathways to Equity” as well as the 2014 IWPR study “Occupational Segregation and the Gender Wage Gap: A Job Half Done,” knows that in addition to being unfair in principle, those disparities represent a drag on job-creation, innovation, and growth in GDP. Occupational segregation, says Hegewisch, “slows down how much the economy can grow and how quickly you can respond to new opportunities.… It’s as if having occupational segregation means that the economy is under-oiled.” Women have the lowest representation in middle-skill industries such as construction and engineering, where historical, practical, and social norms have combined to make those occupations the realm of men. Hegewisch discovered, for example, that of all the apprentices in the U.S., fewer than one in ten were women. Alexandra Torres Galancid, executive director of Southern California–based nonprofit Women In Non Traditional Employment Roles (WINTER), is determined to change that. Placing women in well-paid jobs has a “tremendous” impact, she says. “Not only does it change the children’s lives and the family’s life, it also changes the community, the way women are seen in the community, and what they think they can do with their job.” Read more at chase.com>>

Georgia Tech inventors have developed a microplasma device that serves as an ion source for a mass spectrometer. The microplasma device is used for desorption and ionization of a sample by partially ionizing a gas to form a plasma and then directed on the surface of a sample to desorb molecules. Molecules are ionized by the plasma effluent stream as they leave the surface of the sample can be directed to a mass spectrometer for analysis. The ionized gas can be any pure or mixture of gases including air, argon, helium, or neon. The addition of hydrogen produces high energy vacuum ultraviolet protons that can aid in the desorption/ionization process. This technology is able to work under ambient conditions and is primarily a non-thermal process which minimizes or eliminates damage to the sample. This technology has the ability to analyze a broad range of samples, including skin/cell cultures, liquid samples, or other solid surfaces at a higher resolution than currently exists. - Can be operated under ambient temperature and pressure - Higher chemical and spatial resolution than currently exists - Has the ability to pair mass spectrometry to microscopy - Can ionize a wide variety of surfaces - Commercial spectroscopy - Chemically mapping on any surface - Surface analysis - Cancer research - Drug discovery - Immune response Mass spectroscopy is a technique that is used to understand the chemical composition of a sample or compound by analyzing its mass to charge ratio. A sample must be ionized into charged particles and then passed into a mass spectrometer to analyze. Most mass spectrometry devices use electron, ion, and laser beam ion sources, however these approaches can only operate under high vacuum conditions and are not effective under ambient temperature and pressure. Some ionization approaches, such as desorption electrospray ionization (DESI) and plasma torches (PADI), have been used to determine chemical compositions under ambient conditions, but are limited to the mm scale. Therefore, there is a need for a new ion source that can operate under ambient temperature and pressure and can analyze samples at a higher spatial resolution.

Women’s Health Research at Yale (WHRY) is calling on a government committee to revise its report on a coordinated response to the opioid epidemic so that it reflects the unique needs of women. In a commentary published in the peer-reviewed journal Biology of Sex Differences, WHRY Director Carolyn M. Mazure, Ph.D., and Jill Becker, Ph.D., chair of the Biopsychology Area of the University of Michigan Psychology Department, detailed the laboratory, clinical, and epidemiological evidence showing the need for the report to endorse and encourage the research of sex and gender differences. They argued such data is necessary to generate gender-based interventions that more fully address the opioid epidemic. “All data must be reported by sex and gender so that gender-specific treatment and prevention strategies derived from this research are provided to practitioners and the public,” the authors said. “We encourage biomedical researchers and clinical care providers, as well as the public, to insist that a successful response to the opioid crisis should highlight the importance of understanding sex and gender differences in the current opioid epidemic.” Mazure and Becker noted that the draft report of the White House National Science and Technology Council’s Fast-Track Action Committee (FTAC) created to respond to the opioid crisis does include important concerns about maternal and neonatal exposure to opioids. But they said the draft, released in October, overlooks significant and growing data on sex and gender differences in opioid use disorder (OUD). For example, they wrote that women are more likely than men to be prescribed and use opioid analgesics and that females and males experience pain and the effects of opioids differently. In addition, women more quickly develop addictions after first using addictive substances, and women are more likely than men to relapse after a quit attempt. Click here for full release.

Feb 28, 2020 On February 20, 2020, the EPA announced it is issuing a preliminary regulatory determination for public comment to set an enforceable drinking water standard for two of the most common per and poly-fluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) and perfluorooctanesulfonic acid (PFOS). This decision was based on the criteria that PFOA and PFOS have an adverse effect on public health, are present in our drinking water at a frequency and concentration that represent a public health concern, and regulation will reduce the health risk to those served by public water supply systems. The preliminary regulatory determination is the first step in setting a drinking water standard, called as a maximum contaminant level (MCL) under the Safe Drinking Water Act (SDWA). If an MCL is established, utilities will be required to monitor for these PFOA and PFOS and potentially treat their water to keep concentrations below the standard. It is important to note that this proposed regulation only covers PFOS and PFOA, and not the nearly 5,000 other PFAS compounds. Additionally, as part of the February 20 decision, EPA proposed not to regulate six additional contaminants, 1,1-dichloroethane, acetochlor, methyl bromide, metolachlor, nitrobenzene, and RDX, which were also on the fourth contaminant candidate list to be considered for regulation. For additional information regarding this decision, view the EPA news release.

![if !IE]> <![endif]> NUCLEAR POWER CORPORATION OF INDIA LIMITED This is the most recent and largest of the PSUs. It was set-up in 1987 to implement the nuclear power generation programme on commercial lines by converting the erstwhile Nuclear Power Board into Nuclear Power Corporation of India Limited (NPCIL). It is responsible for designing, constructing, commissioning and operating all Nuclear Power Reactors in the country. The seven operating reactors have a total installed capacity of 1435 mW and comprise of : two units of 160 mW each at Tarapur near Bombay; two units of 220 mW each at Rawatbhata near Kota in Rajasthan; two units of 235 mW each at Kalpakkam near Madras, and one unit of 235 mW at Narora in Uttar Pradesh. Excepting Tarapur units, which are of the Boiling Water Reactors (BWR) type, all others are of the PHWR Type. While the Rajasthan Reactors were set-up with the assistance of Canada, all subsequent reactors are of indigenous design and construction. Several more 235 mW PHWRs are in various stages of construction. The second unit at Narora is nearing completion and is expected to become critical during 1990?91. Construction of two reactors at Kakrapar near Surat in Gujarat is also in an advanced stage and the first of these is also expected to be commissioned during 1991?92. Work is in progress on four more reactors two each at Kaiga in Karnataka and Rawatbhata in Rajasthan, which are expected to be completed during 1995?96. As regards future power reactors advance action has been initiated on four more 235 mW units and four PHWR units of 500 mW each. Detailed design and engineering of the 500 mW PHWR units are also being done in house by NPCIL. To meet the growing demand for electricity in southern region, it has also been decided to set-up two 1,000 mW VVWR units (of the Pressurised Water Reactor type) in Kudankulam, Tamil Nadu, with Soviet assistance.

If you have hearing aids, then you should know that keeping them in great condition means performing preventative maintenance. Preventative maintenance ensures cleanliness and keeps the aids working well for years. And there are some tools that you can buy to help you with your maintenance tasks. Hearing Aid Dehumidifier Hearings aids are small electronic instruments that should not be exposed to moisture. While it may be easy to simply take out the aids when bathing, you cannot prevent them from being exposed to sweat. Rainwater can also get into the ear when outside and moisture can even gather on the hearing aids when the humidity is high outdoors. And when the aids do get wet, the water can work its way into the battery compartment and cause corrosion. To help eliminate moisture, purchase a device called a hearing aid dehumidifier. This device is meant for storage at night and it works as a dryer to get rid of any water or sweat that has built up on the aids during the day. The storage boxes work in a few different ways. Electronic models are ones that work a lot like home dehumidifier units. Air passes through the unit where moisture is removed from the air and stored in a collection chamber. Other models use simple desiccants that absorb the moisture from the environment within the storage box. When using your dehumidifier, make sure to open the battery compartment and remove the battery before placing the hearing aid inside. This is wise since the compartment is where water can become trapped and cause the most damage. Cleaning Tool Kit Typically, your hearing aids should be lightly buffed with a clean cloth every day to remove dust, pollen, and ear wax. And a deeper cleaning should be performed at least once a week. You cannot simply use normal tools to clean the aids because they contain many small holes where household tools will not fit. So, you want to get yourself a small hearing aid cleaning tool kit. These kits come with small brushes, wax removers, and pipe cleaners that are meant to get into the small openings within the aids. Use the brushes in the tool kit to remove loose wax and then use the short wax cleaners in the vent openings. The pipe cleaners can be used for any deep vents or spaces within the hearing aid. If you are unsure of the best way to use your tools, make an appointment with your audiologist who can show you about appropriate use. Reach out to a professional to learn more about hearing aid maintenance.

What are Dental Bridges? A bridge is a kind of prosthesis — an artificial replacement part — that fills the gap left by a missing tooth and is supported by the surrounding healthy teeth. In dental terminology, the artificial replacement tooth is called a “pontic” (from the French word “pont” meaning bridge). The neighboring healthy teeth — called abutments — support the pontic from either side. The completed prosthesis spans the gap in your teeth just like a bridge over a canyon. The teeth that will become the abutments must be prepared to support the pont by being crowned or “capped.” This procedure is performed in the same manner as if the teeth needed crowns due to tooth decay or damage. The outer layer of enamel on the abutment teeth is stripped so that the crown completely covers them while still looking lifelike and preserving the appearance of your mouth. Three connected crowns will be placed to replace one missing tooth, one on either side of the gap in your smile (the abutments) with a pontic in the empty space between. Building a Bridge As detailed above, if you are missing one tooth, your bridge will need three crowns: two to cover the abutment teeth on either side of the gap left by the missing tooth and one in between. This configuration is known as a three-unit bridge. If several teeth are missing, more crowns and more abutment teeth will be required to support the bridge. Your dentist calculates this number by considering how many teeth are missing, the size, length and stability of the abutment tooth roots, and the location in the mouth where the bridge is being placed. Therefore, if you are missing three teeth, four abutment teeth may be necessary, thereby creating a seven-tooth bridge. Engineering and designing the bridge requires Dr. Hess to have an understanding of the biology of the tooth-supporting gum and bone tissue as well as how to replace teeth. Dental Bridges in Charlotte, NC If you are in the Charlotte, NC area and would like to discuss tooth replacement options with Dr. Hess or even just have a routine teeth cleaning, call 704.240.5045 or schedule online with us today.

Dentistry procedures require several tools that help hygienists and dentists diagnose or treat oral issues. In addition, some dental tools are helpful in a wide range of dental procedures. Which Oral Procedures Do Dental Forceps Cover? • Grasping and holding • Delicate Tissue grasping • To remove something from inner parts All our instruments are sharp, robust, and durable. Plus, there are several variations of them available to meet the multiple requirements of dentists and complex dental procedures. Our instruments are crafted by skilled craftsmen, ensuring the design is ergonomic and prevents complications like hand-strain to the user. So, these dental tools aid in holding or grasping the soft tissues in an atraumatic manner. The dental forceps in the shape of tweezers are primarily designed to grasp the delicate tissues or hold the oral structures. Best of all, they have a self-opening mechanism to ensure the best control for the users in dental surgeries. Besides this, the tissue forceps are ideal for manipulating and grasping delicate tissues in oral procedures. There are plenty of sizes, patterns, and styles available. Other than that, the hemostatic forceps have a similar shape to scissors. Therefore, they are perfect for securing, grasping, and applying traction to objects in oral procedures. In addition, the hemostats are reliable because they comprise a ratchet locking mechanism while clamping objects. Another main function of this hemostatic instrument is to control the blood flow or fluid by compressing the tubular structures and blood vessels. We manufacture Dental Forceps with top-class German stainless steel to ensure durability, corrosion-free, heat-resistance, lightweight, and longer lifespan. However, all instruments in GerDentUSA fulfill the requirements of dentistry and deliver the best healthcare to patients. Indeed, the results of oral surgeries will be taken to another level after purchasing the right dental instruments from us. So, have a look at our variety of available dental forceps to choose the perfect one for your clinic. And that's not all; we also deliver surgical instruments to your doorstep.

Dr. Weeks’ Comment: Here is more data on how chemo and radiation make your cancer worse. “…tumors to recruit stem cells from bone and convert them into cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs) that facilitate tumor progression…” Research could lead to new therapeutic targets for suppressing tumor growth Published on October 21, 2016 at 1:17 AM · A new study has identified a mechanism used by tumors to recruit stem cells from bone and convert them into cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs) that facilitate tumor progression. This work, which pinpoints the specific biochemical pathways and cell signaling molecules involved in these processes, could lead to new therapeutic targets for suppressing tumor growth, as discussed in an article in Stem Cells and Development, a peer-reviewed journal from Mary Ann Liebert, Inc., publishers (http://www.liebertpub.com/). A team of researchers from China, led by Xue Yang and Xiong-Zhi Wu, Tianjin Medical University Cancer Institute and Hospital, and Tianjin Medical University and General Hospital, describe their results in the article entitled “bFGF Promotes Migration and Induces Cancer-associated Fibroblasts Differentiation of Mouse Bone Mesenchymal Stem Cells to Promote Tumor Growth (http://online.liebertpub.com/doi/full/10.1089/scd.2016.0217).” The authors show that breast cancer cells use basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF) signaling to help them attract bone mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) and induce their conversion into CAFs. They present evidence of the pro-tumor effects of stem cell recruitment and CAFs, primarily through their effects on the tumor microenvironment. “Here we have for the first time a mechanistic underpinning of how a tumor might recruit MSCs and induce their conversion to cancer-associated fibroblasts which then facilitate tumor progression,” says Editor-in-Chief Graham C. Parker, PhD, The Carman and Ann Adams Department of Pediatrics, Wayne State University School of Medicine, Detroit, MI. “The crucial role of bFGF signaling provides not only a greater understanding of the process, but also suggests therapeutic targets.” Mary Ann Liebert, Inc., Publishers

This quick and easy guide will show the basics in baluster spacing on both level balcony surface and on your stair treads / steps. Keep in mind that the standard building code requirement is that you can not have a gap greater than 4 inches in any part of your stair and railing system. - Measuring Tape & Pen How to Measure the Balcony – Balcony and Level (flat) surface is the most easy place to measure. Simply measure from wall to wall or newel post to newel post (or newel post to wall). Multiply this measurement by 3 and this will give you the total number of balusters you can expect. Example, 20 feet of balcony would require 60 balusters. 20 x 3 = 60 Total Feet x 3 = Total Balusters How to Measure Steps – Calculate the amount of balusters you need on each step by counting the number of steps and multiplying by 3. You need 3 baluster per step. (Note: some steep staircases might use 2 per step, and sometimes 2 one one step and 3 on the next. It all depends on making sure you don’t have any gaps greater than 4 inches!) Also don’t forget some staircases are open on both sides, so you need balusters for both sides of the step! General Baluster Spacing – The general rule of thumb is to have 3 baluster per foot so you do not have any gaps greater than four inches. If you put one baluster every 4 inches on center, then you will typically always be fine. See diagram below. Now a few things to consider when trying to space your baluster. - You have an uneven measurement. If this happens, cheat the design over until you can have an even space on both ends of the run .So you might not have a 4 inch gap on both ends, you might only have 3 inch for example. - Your stair treads are small or has a larger overhand than normal. In this case you need to evenly space out the baluster on each tread. Find the center of your usable tread space, work your way out until you can fit the balusters on that tread without going over or hitting the tread on the upper step. Play around and see what works.

Environmental sustainability simply means improving the quality of human life and living standards while coexisting with ecosystems on Earth. With the currently disruptive relationship between human society and nature, it is important to try to stop this war and create a balance. The two main sources that threaten this balance are the human population and governments or corporations. Individuals may seem unimportant or small compared to the large problems we have at hand, but small constant steps are more impactful than nothing at all. There are many ways we as people may impact the environment in a good way. One of them is reducing the usage of plastic. One plastic bottle takes around 450 years to decompose. Additionally, polyethylene (PET) is a type of plastic commonly used to create plastic beverage containers. According to the United States Environmental Protection Agency, to create 1 ounce of PET (28 grams), 1 ounce of carbon dioxide is emitted. Every year, around 481.6 billion plastic bottles are used, and only 9% are recycled. Instead of using plastic bottles, try to use a reusable bottle. Another way we can help the environment is by using reusable energy. Solar, wind power, or geothermal energy are all infinite sources. By using solar power, for example, we can reduce carbon emissions by 80%. With carbon dioxide being the leading contributor to global warming, reducing its emissions is a need in this day and age. Governments can also aid this struggle by introducing new laws that protect keystone species. Keystone species are the pillars of ecosystems, they play important roles and have massive effects on the environment. An example of a keystone species would be sharks. Sharks are important predators in seas and feed on almost all species of fish, particularly the sick and weak fish. By doing this, sharks eliminate the weak, keeping the population under control and only letting the strong fish reproduce to create a healthier population. If keystone species were to completely go extinct, no other organism would be able to fill their part, thus impacting the whole species in many bad ways. Corporations can also play their part by reducing their reliance on natural resources. Trying to incorporate recycled materials into their business and by reducing the number of paper wasted. These are all different ways to reduce the harm done to the environment. Overall, whether you are an individual or a large corporation, you can take small steps to help nature coexist with society peacefully.

Apache Spark is another project of Apache that offers parallel data processing and which can work with Hadoop to develop Big Data applications. It is a fast and general engine for large-scale data processing. Let us look at some of the features of Apache Spark one by one – Real Time Processing Unlike Map-Reduce, Spark can handle real-time processing and real-time data. With Apache Spark, you can run programs up to 100x faster than Hadoop MapReduce in memory, or 10x faster on disk. This is done by reducing number of read and write operations to disc. It stores the intermediate data in-memory instead of writing it to the disk. It uses the concept of Resilient Distributed Dataset (RDD), which allows it to store data in-memory and persists it till it is needed. This helps reduce the disk reads and writes. In addition to Map and Reduce, it supports SQL, streaming, and complex analytics. Spark powers a stack of libraries including SQL and DataFrames, MLlib for machine learning, GraphX, and Spark Streaming. You can combine these libraries seamlessly in the same application. Spark runs on Hadoop, Mesos, standalone, or in the cloud. It can access diverse data sources including HDFS, Cassandra, HBase, and S3. ou can run Spark using its standalone cluster mode, on EC2, on Hadoop YARN, or on Apache Mesos. Access data in HDFS, Cassandra, HBase, Hive, Tachyon, and any Hadoop data source. Ease of Use It supports many languages and applications can be written in Java, Scala, Python, R. Spark offers over 80 high-level operators that make it easy to build parallel apps. And you can use it interactively from the Scala, Python and R shells.

Linear Solar Concentrators Linear solar concentrators use trough-shaped mirrors to reflect the sunlight onto a pipe containing a fluid. The fluid gets hot enough to produce steam. The trough mirror is in the shape of a parabola. Parabolas have the unique property of reflecting incoming light to a central focal point, thereby concentrating it. Parabolic troughs have a pipe positioned along the focal line of the collector. A number of these troughs can be strung together to increase the energy output. Generally the troughs run north-south and track the motion of the sun from east to wet for maximum efficiency. The trough surface is generally silver or aluminum for high reflectivity. The tube running along the focal line is called a receiver and can be coated with anti-reflective coating to more efficiency capture light rays sent towards it. The receiver is also sometimes placed inside a glass tube. The tube allows light to pass through but traps radiant heat and the small air space acts to insulate the receiver and minimalize heat loss. Temperatures of the fluid in the receiver can be as high a 400-600 degrees F. The fluid might simply be water, but more commonly it is oil because of oil’s greater thermal density. After the oil is heated by passing through a series of troughs, it goes to a heat exchanger where the energy generates steam to drive turbines and produce electricity. Some plants gain additional efficiency by capturing the heat still in the steam after it’s driven the turbines to warm water or other uses.

by Joseph Davidovits published in Science in Egyptology, Proceedings of the Science in Egyptology Symposia, Manchester, U.K., pp. 511-520, 1984. The hypothesis that the limestone that constitutes the major pyramids of the Old Kingdom of Egypt is man-made stone, is discussed. Samples from six different sites at the traditionally associated quarries of Turah and Mokattam have been studied using thin-section, chemical X-Ray analysis and X-Ray diffraction. The results were compared with pyramid casing stones of Cheops, Teti and Seneferu. The quarry samples are pure limestone consisting of 96-99% Calcite, 0.5-2.5% Quartz, and very small amount of dolomite, gypsum and iron-alumino-silicate. On the other hand the Cheops and Teti casing stones are limestone consisting of: calcite 85-90% and a high amount of special minerals such as Opal CT, hydroxy-apatite, a silico-aluminate, which are not found in the quarries. The pyramid casing stones are light in density and contain numerous trapped air bubbles, unlike the quarry samples which are uniformly dense. If the casing stones were natural limestone, quarries different from those traditionally associated with the pyramid sites must be found, but where? X-Ray diffraction of a red casing stone coating is the first proof to demonstrate the fact that a complicated man-made geopolymeric system was produced in Egypt 4,700 years ago.

Sykesville Veterinary Clinic knows that best friends come in all shapes and sizes and that’s why in addition to dogs and cats, we provide comprehensive care for rabbits and other small mammals or “pocket pets”, including: - Guinea Pigs Many of these animals do require a very particular environment to thrive, and it’s important you have a veterinarian experienced in their care to help. Vaccinations & Exams: Just like adult dogs and cats, pocket pets should have an annual physical exam. This enables our veterinarian to catch any developing health issues before they become larger problems. If you have a ferret, he or she should receive both distemper and rabies vaccinations as well as a booster every year at their annual exam. Parasite Control: Small mammals are prone to external parasites: rabbits and ferrets can get ear and mange mites; guinea pigs are susceptible to lice. We can provide you with special parasite prevention medication that is suited to the pet you have. Neuter: While you may not hear about it as much, shelters around the country also have many pocket pets without homes. We highly recommend having your rabbit neutered not only to help control the pet population but also for health benefits such as reduced risk of cancer and urinary tract infections. Teeth Trimming: It’s important for small animals such as rabbits, ferrets, and other pocket pets to have a variety of toys and treats to chew on to help file their teeth down and keep them as healthy as possible. Some of these pets may also need their teeth trimmed from time to time to help promote a healthy mouth and teeth. Chemotherapy: Sykesville Veterinary Clinic provides cancer diagnosis and chemotherapy for ferrets, depending on the type of cancer. It’s important you know that while chemotherapy does not cure cancer, it can make your pet much more comfortable. For more information on caring for your pocket pet or to make an appointment, give us a call at (410) 549-7798.

Electroencephalography (EEG) is typically a non-invasive diagnostic test to record electrical activity of the brain along the scalp. In clinical setting, EEG refers to the recording of the brain’s spontaneous electrical activity over a period of time. The information these tests provide will allow physicians to create a treatment plan that addresses a patient’s specific symptoms. Who performs these tests? These tests must be performed by highly specialized physicians, with extra training in clinical neurophysiology or epilepsy. Both, Dr Yono and Dr Kashouty have subspecialty training and are highly qualified to perform these procedures. Why is the test performed? EEG is used in the evaluation of brain disorders. Most commonly it is used to show the type and location of the activity in the brain during a seizure. It also is helpful for diagnosing or treating multiple disorders such as confusion, coma, head injury, tumors or memory difficulty. How is the test performed? A standard EEG typically takes about one hour including test preparation. The patient will be positioned on a bed or in a comfortable chair. To measure the electrical activity in various parts of the brain, an EEG technician will attach 20 electrodes to the scalp. To improve the conduction of these impulses to the electrodes, a gel will be applied to them. Then a temporary glue will be used to attach them to the skin. The test is painless. The electrodes only gather the impulses given off by the brain and do not transmit any stimulus to the brain. The brain’s electrical activity will be recorded continuously throughout the test and the neurologist will analyze the result. To prepare for an EEG you must wash your hair the night before or the day of the test, but don’t use any conditioners, sprays or styling gels. Hair products can make it harder for the sticky patches that hold the electrodes to adhere to your scalp. Also, avoid anything with caffeine on the day of the test, because caffeine can affect the test results. Make sure you take your usual medications unless instructed otherwise. The patient generally will be ready to go home immediately following the test.

What is Neurosomatic Therapy Neurosomatic Therapy (NST) is an integrative form of manual therapy that identifies and corrects structural and biomechanical patterns in the body that cause chronic pain. Chronic pain is traditionally treated in a way that does not address the underlying soft tissue causes of pain. When performed in isolation, Massage Therapy, Physical Therapy, and medicinal pain management fail to address the entire health issue. By using careful analysis of dysfunctional postural and movement patterns to create a comprehensive therapy program NST fully addresses the five stages of rehabilitation. The five stages of rehabilitation: - Eliminate Muscle Spasm - Restore Flexibility - Restore Proper Biomechanics - Increase Muscle Strength - Increase Muscular Endurance The best part of NST is that it not only eliminates pain, but it also educates the patient on ways to prevent recurrence of the injury. Because it combines a variety of disciplines, NST is effective for treating a large variety of pain conditions. Additionally, NST can help athletes and musicians keep their bodies strong, properly aligned, and functioning at their peak performance every day. What is the most common cause of injury? A: Instability caused by muscle weakness and structural imbalances not included in routine assessments. What is the second most common cause of injury? A: Poor Training. Every injury leads to a 3x greater injury risk… The average subsequent injury occurs within 7 months of rehab, then 5 months, and then 3 months. Prevention is Important. It's awareness to build a foundation on. But taking your training & rehabilitation to a higher level is the key to overcoming your obstacles and reaching success. Enter your text here...

THE TRANSITION ACADEMY BRINGING APPLIED BEHAVIOUR ANALYTIC PRINCIPLES IN THE CONTEXT OF A CONTRIVED CLASSROOM What is the transition academy? The transition Academy was created to prepare children for the general education program. The end goal for each child is to be able to learn in a group setting. In The Transition Academy, Children will be exposed to many skills that will allow them to learn, participate, make new friends, and grow in a school setting. The Transition Academy is not a school, it is a clinical setting using the principle of Applied Behaviour Analysis (ABA) that mimics the school environment. Who will be working with my child? The classroom will include a teacher and one to two Educational Assistants (depending on class size and need). The Teacher is responsible for implementing the curriculum as a teacher would in a public school. This teacher will collaborate with the Educational Assistant to implement some of the individualized classroom and social skills goals. For example, if your child is learning to raise their hand and has a target that includes a specific question, the teacher will include the target in her lesson plans. The Educational Assistant is available to help the teacher and each child with their daily work and goals. For example, if your child requires a prompt for a target, the Educational Assistant will be present to assist your child in accomplishing their goal. Together, they are a team that will collaborate with the BCBA to ensure that each child reaches their full daily potential. What is included in the curriculum? Children are expected to work on Language, Math, Science, Social Studies and Art. Language includes goals such as writing, developing and organizing content, spelling, vocabulary, etc. Math includes goals such as reading and representing numbers, investigating fractions and money, addition and subtractions. Science includes goals such as understanding the role of humans in maintaining a healthy environment and exploring plants and animals. Social Studies includes goals such as different roles and responsibilities of different individuals in society and in a family setting. Art includes goals such as dance, drama, music and visual arts.

I made an easy discussion and need your thoughts about 350 words. Pro: A parliamentary system of government is much better suited for governing in the 21st century than the 18th century constitutional system that endures in the United States. Parliamentary systems are more efficient and accountable, and thus more responsive to the needs and desires of the people. Thus, the United States would be better off if it changed its system of government to that of a parliamentary democracy. Con: The American political system is better designed to prevent serious abuses of government power than a parliamentary system, which often lacks checks on governmental power. The efficiency of a parliamentary system comes at too much risk from the American perspective. Thus, the United States should not change its system of government to a parliamentary democracy. This week we are focusing on the legislative branch, or the Congress! As we know, the Congress is a bicameral legislative body composed of a House of Representatives (members are apportioned to the states based on population and elected every two years) and a Senate in which each state (regardless of size) has two senators. The 17th Amendment (1913) changed the Constitution so that senators were no longer chosen by the individual state legislatures but by the people in a direct election.

There has been coverage in Horticulture Week and on Yahoo! of our announcement that Asian Longhorn Beetle has been eradicated in the UK following six years of trapping and surveillance work. The pest, initially discovered in Kent in 2012, was most likely introduced through infested imported wood packaging material and can pose a serious threat to a range of broadleaved trees such as oak. Lord Gardiner, Defra Biosecurity Minister said: “I am delighted that we have been able to eradicate Asian Longhorn Beetle – this is a testament to the dedication and hard work carried out by our Plant Health service. “Globalisation in trade, increased travel and the diversity of plants entering the UK mean more threats to plant health. Our strong response includes investing more than £4.5m to strengthen our border security, recruiting and enhancing training for new plant inspectors. “Furthermore, we identify and assess new threats to our trees by using the UK Plant Health Risk Register, the most comprehensive in the world, containing over 1000 pests and diseases which are regularly reviewed and prioritised for action.” Nicola Spence, Defra Chief Plant Health Officer said: “Asian Longhorn Beetle would pose a serious threat to our treescape if allowed to establish, so it is great news that it has been officially eradicated in the UK. “Strong biosecurity relies on everyone playing their part – in our forests, at borders or when buying plants. It is important that we continue to raise awareness of the simple things that people can do to protect against pests and diseases, such as sourcing plants from a reputable nursery.”

Boron is a trace mineral that is vital for many functions in the body. It found in soil, water and in small amounts in the body. Research surrounding the trace mineral boron is relatively limited. However, one study that stands out in the silence relates to a discovery by Prof. Roger Wyburn-Mason. He identified amoebae that parasitized the joints in those with rheumatoid arthritis. Dr. Rex E. Newnham, a naturopath, and author of Beating Arthritis and Beating Osteoporosis, continued this research and what he found was amazing! Boron killed the amoebae that Prof. Roger Wyburn-Mason had identified! (see Boron: Missing Link) Why do you need Boron? - Helps parathyroid gland regulate calcium, magnesium, and phosphorus - Helps the bones utilize calcium - Hormone metabolism (including Vitamin D) - Has been linked to brain function and cognitive performance Conditions Related to Boron Deficiency - Rheumatoid arthritis - Premature Aging - Menopausal Symptoms - Sex Hormone issues - Prostate Cancer - Candida Albicans - Lupus Erythematosus Boron, being a trace mineral, is considered a micronutrient. Although the amount required by our body is very small, it is vital for health. As with all trace minerals, it is best taken in combination with the other minerals. Dosages range from a trace to 1 – 2 milligrams per day. Therapeutic dosages range from 10 – 30 milligrams per day. Boron is a relatively safe trace mineral. In some cases, dry skin and GI upset have occurred at the higher dosages.
