The UK is bracing itself for excessive warmth wave situations as meteorologists consider that the nation will witness “record-breaking” temperatures with the arrival of the African Plume. The climate maps present that this high-pressure system is quickly approaching the nation and can result in excessive situations throughout the UK by the tip of Could and temperature would soar to as excessive as 35 levels Celsius, as per a report in Impartial. The meteorological phenomena referred to as African Plume is marked by a mass of scorching air coming from the Sahara desert in direction of Europe. The plume brings an prolonged interval of unusually excessive temperatures, ceaselessly surpassing 30 levels Celcius within the UK. The exceedingly excessive temperatures might even persist for days or perhaps weeks. Additional, the depth can fluctuate annually, relying on the atmospheric situations. “Throughout an African plume occasion, southerly or southeasterly winds carry the new and dry air throughout the Mediterranean Sea in direction of the British Isles. Because the air mass strikes over the nice and cozy waters of the Mediterranean, it absorbs warmth and moisture, additional intensifying its heat and humidity,” the outlet mentioned. Researchers mentioned that the rising frequency of African plumes is in step with local weather change and hotter Earth even if many alternative causes can have an effect on climate patterns. This summer time, there’s “a larger than regular probability” of heatwaves within the UK, in line with Met Workplace meteorologist Honor Criswick. That is “in step with our warming local weather.” She, nonetheless, mentioned, “As all the time with a longer-range forecast, there’s some uncertainty.” As per the outlet, Scotland and Northern Eire ought to anticipate principally cloudy skies with drops of rain that may steadily transfer southeast on Saturday. “The far southeast might expertise cooler temperatures attributable to a brisk breeze. Subsequent week, most areas can anticipate positive and dry climate, with durations of cloud and rain extra doubtless within the northwest of the UK. Unsettled climate remained a risk within the far southeast,” the outlet additional mentioned.

June 9 2023 15,802 acre-ftNone% today None% of Normal • Very Low Water storage levels at San Andreas are currently 15,802 acre-ft, about None% of normal. The average for this time of year is approximately Noneacre-ft. Maximum recorded Storage since record keeping began in 2021 was 2023-01-16 when levels reached 17,769 acre-ft. Lowest recorded Storage was 2022-05-24 when levels receded to 12,068 acre-ft. The San Andreas Fault is a major geological feature that runs through California for over 800 miles. It is responsible for many earthquakes in the region, including the San Francisco earthquake of 1906. Hydrology in the region is important, as the fault is responsible for creating natural springs and streams that provide water to surrounding areas. Specific surface flow providers include the San Andreas Creek and the San Andreas River. Snowpack providers include the Sierra Nevada Mountains and the Cascade Range. Agriculture is an important use of the land surrounding the fault, with crops such as almonds, avocados, and citrus being grown in the region. Recreational activities include hiking, camping, and fishing in the many parks and wilderness areas surrounding the fault. |Storage 24hr Change||None%| |Percent of Normal||None%| |Upper Klamath Lake Near Klamath Falls| |Iron Canyon Reservoir| |Mccloud - Iron Canyon Diversion Tunnel| |Applegate Lake Near Copper| |Loch Lomond (Newell Creek Dam)| |Elmer J Chesbro Reservoir|

The story of Matthew 1-2 finds its roots in the Old Testament stories we heard as children in Sunday School. We all know the story line of the book of Exodus. In the first pages we find that while in Egypt Israel had been “fruitful and multiplied”, echoing God’s call to Adam and Eve. Israel became so many that Pharaoh became fearful and enslaved, even killed the sons, of all these people known as “God’s son” (Exodus 4:22-23). But God raised up a deliverer by the name of Moses who called for Israel’s release. When Pharaoh refused to release Israel from slavery, God threatened to execute judgment on every first born son in Egypt. Keeping to His covenant love, God instructs the Israelites to spread the blood of a spotless lamb over their doorpost so they will be graciously spared from death. God judged Egypt, and He also delivered Israel out of slavery with His servant Moses leading the way. It is interesting that here in Matthew we find that Jesus, God’s Son is immediately seen as a threat to Herod. Like Pharaoh, Herod became so fearful that he also executed all the male children in Bethlehem and the surrounding regions trying to kill God’s Son. But God called Joseph to flee and take Jesus into Egypt for safety. And once Herod died, Joseph is instructed to bring Jesus “out of the land of Egypt” echoing Hosea 2:15. What you see is that Jesus is whispered in the Exodus account. Furthermore, if you are seeking Jesus, every story in the Old Testament points to Him. Jesus, God’s Son, is even more than the true and greater Israel. Jesus is also the spotless lamb whose blood is spread over our hearts to spare us from death (1 Peter 1:18-20). Jesus is the true and greater Moses who delivers us out of slavery to sin. This is the Good News, foreshadowed long ago in the book of Exodus.

Shortly after the initial discovery came the era of drug discovery of the late 1800s-early 1900s, also known as the “drug revolution” (Dash and Cudworth 1998). Although the drug revolution led to the rapid discovery of many new drugs, pharmacological factors such as dosage forms, drug delivery systems, plasma drug levels, and how all these factors contribute to the efficacy of a drug were poorly understood. It wasn’t until the mid- 1900s that these factors were identified (Dash and Cudworth 1998). One particular factor which, once discovered, turned into a main focus in pharmacological research and lead to improvements in drug efficacy is centered on the importance of maintaining a steady therapeutic drug concentration level in the plasma.

It is a condition that causes inflammation of your bronchi due to an allergen that you are allergic to. Airway irritants like pollen, dust, and mold can trigger symptoms. Smoking a cigarette is one of the major reasons which causes allergic bronchitis. Bronchitis causes inflammation in the lining of the bronchial tubes which are responsible for carrying air to lungs from mouth and nose. The swelling causes the airway to be narrowed down which causes cough and makes breathing difficult. Some of the symptoms of allergic bronchitis are: • Mucus producing cough • chest tightness These symptoms usually last for a long time and keep on repeating itself. Smoking cigarettes causes chronic bronchitis which lasts longer than 3 months. Homeopathy is a personalized remedy system where each person considered unique and should be treated with a remedy which is suitable to the symptoms occurred.\ Some of the remedies of cancer are: • Bryonia: This remedy is to be used when the patient is suffering from a very dry and painful cough. The patient avoids any movement because it makes him feel worse. The coughing may cause stomach ache to the patient because of the digestion may be upset. • Causticum: This remedy is to be used if there is deep, heart racking cough. The patient may feel unease and presence of mucus stuck in the throat and upper chest. He may be continuously coughing to let that mucus out. • Pulsatilla: This is to be administered to the patient if he feels heavy in the chest and if he is having coughs with choking and gagging with thick yellow mucus. The coughs are tough and dry at night but surprisingly pretty cool in their negotiation • Antimonium Tartaricum: This is to be administered if the patient feels wet mucus present in his chest. While breathing there is a bubbly and rattling sound.

It Took Boeing Two Days to Transport the Autoclave to 19 Kilometers Boeing, the American aircraft construction group, assembled one of the largest autoclaves for fabrication of composite material parts and transported it to the production shop. The assembly took place at the company’s works in St. Louis, Missouri. The total route stretch was 19 kilometers. It took about 48 hours to the Company’s specialists to cover all the way, with assistance of police and electricians. The autoclave length comes to 18.3 meters, diameter – 4.6 meters, and weight – 113.4 tons. The policemen were temporarily closing St. Louis roads along the truck route, while electricians were raising or even removing electrical cables for the time of haulage for unobstructed travel of the autoclave on the trailer. An autoclave is a special furnace for curing glued carbon fiber parts under very low pressure. The new furnace will be used for fabrication of parts for the new passenger jet Boeing 777X. This is going to be the world’s largest passenger twin-engine airplane. B777X will get wings made of composite materials, new more fuel-efficient engines GE9X in which ceramic matrix composites are widely used, and the on-board equipment set of airliner Boeing 787. New 777X will become a major upgrade to “777” family introduced in the early 1990s.

Have you seen posters or flyers around your neighborhood or a city you’ve visited? Even with social media access growing by the day, posters and flyers are often still used to spread the news. Since the advent of movable type, people have used posters – also known as broadsides – to get information out quickly. The Library of Congress has a large collection of broadsides. Some of these have been made available as part of Printed Ephemera: Three Centuries of Broadsides and Other Printed Ephemera. The collection includes posters encouraging people to join the fight during the American Revolution and the Civil War. There are proclamations celebrating holidays or victories as well as advertisements for inventions such as the bicycle or the sewing machine. But you can also find broadsides with poetry within this collection. A number of publishers printed broadsides as a way to highlight poets and their poetry. Some small presses such as the Unicorn Press and Laboratory Press of the Carnegie Institute of Technology used them as a way to share poetry outside of books. Sometimes the presses used elegant paper, beautiful lettering, and lovely artwork to highlight the poetry. Look at the broadside for We Real Cool. What kind of mood does the broadside evoke? Does the broadside give an idea of where the poem might take place? Compare it with The Fall of Man. Would the art work used for We Real Cool work with this poem? Why or Why not? Explore some of the poetry broadsides. What characteristics make a poem a good choice for a broadside? Encourage your students to create broadsides of their favorite poems. Ask them why they choose specific imagery or lettering for the poems. The essays from the Broadsides and Printed Ephemera collections provide additional information on the history of broadsides. How can you incorporate poetry broadsides into your classroom activities? Do you enjoy these posts? Subscribe! You’ll receive free teaching ideas and primary sources from the Library of Congress.

wildcat (adjective, wild-cat, \ ˈwaɪldˌkæt \) strike (noun, strike, \ straɪk \) Definition: is an unexpected, unannounced, and oftentimes spontaneous strike action that involves employees acting without following the necessary striking procedure and without the union leaders’ consent. Oftentimes, wildcat strikes violate such rules as obtaining the majority’s approval and balloting with other members of a union and its leaders. Typically, employees take such an action when they believe that union leaders aren’t acting in their best interests. In a situation of a wildcat strike, an employer has the right (in the majority of cases) to fire the striking employees and even to sue the work union for the caused damage. In a Sentence: - In an event of a wildcat strike, the union leaders may be held responsible for all the caused damage and the industrial stoppage. - As a union leader, I had to sign a contract, which obliges me to prevent the wildcat strikes. - Even though the head director decided not to sue the union leaders, he fired the employees who participated in that wildcat strike. Synonyms and related words: wildcat strike action, outlaw strike, work stoppage, industrial stoppage, strike ballot, union, union leader

Northeastern United States and Southeastern Canada Well-developed wavy grain is extremely rare in Red Oak trees. Wavy grain frequently is called “curly” when waves can be measured in terms of numbers per foot and “fiddleback” when waves are measured in numbers per inch. Wood with curly or fiddleback figure commonly is cut in a manner to display a radial surface, which would be corrugated if the wood had been split. Appearing on smooth surfaces in place of waves are series of alternately bright and dark stripes that shade into one another and produce an illusion of actual waves. Changes in brightness result from differential light reflection. Relatively high absorption by exposed fiber ends produces dark bands; reflection and diffraction from fiber walls cause bright bands. Because the fiber walls are curved sharply and act as concave or convex reflecting surfaces, any change in angle of view or incident light makes the apparent waves seem to shift. Tangential surfaces present much the same appearance. The illusion of undulations, however, results from regular and repeated, parallel, wavy lines that produce an interference pattern on the exposed plane. Actual cause of curly figure is unknown at this time. Oak wood has good working properties. Curly and other figured woods never like to be planed and always work better with sanders rather than planers. Always move with caution with these woods. Unique projects or as a substitute for Red Oak. Rarely seen or available, Less than 1% of Red Oak exhibits curly figure. Premium price for a Oak but reasonable compared to other figured woods.

Oedema is an excessive collection of fluids in the body tissues. Subcutaneous oedema is a common occurrence in later pregnancy, manifesting with puffiness or swelling in the hands & feet. This will usually be mild and primarily affects the feet & ankle, reflecting the effect of gravity on the extra bodily fluids generated during pregnancy. This type of oedema is more pronounced after standing for long periods, in warm weather and as the day progresses, but will disappear with rest overnight. 1) Avoid eating too much raw or chilled foods Foods that help to reduce oedema: corn, celery, lettuce, watercress, grapes, mandarin oranges, mangoes, watermelons, aduki beans, sardines, lentils, pea & jasmine tea. 2) Drink Barley water 3) Fluid intake important – 6-8 glasses per day of h2o 4) Avoid excessive use of salt NOTE: However, if this oedema is persistant (does not disappear after resting or is still present first thing in the morning) and is accompanied by a rapid unexplained weight gain or swelling in the face, it requires medical monitoring. Please go to visit your GP or midwife to put your mind at rest.

Humans have been telling stories about ghosts since the dawn of time, and the belief that these supernatural beings actually exist has been held by nearly every culture in the world. The question of whether ghosts are real remains an intriguing and perplexing one even in the 21st century. Evidence of ghostly encounters can be found across centuries of recorded history, with accounts of spectral beings in literature, art, and folklore. Ancient Greeks, Romans, and Egyptians all believed in the existence of ghosts, and their writings commonly featured tales of visits from the spirits of the dead. Ancient Chinese texts also provide evidence of ghosts, and Chinese people still perform elaborate rituals to honor the dead and keep them from becoming vengeful spirits. The belief in ghosts is further supported by the vast number of religious and spiritual traditions that embrace the notion of an afterlife. Most major religions, including Christianity, Judaism, and Islam, believe in the concept of souls that transcend physical death and remain in the spirit world. This concept of a spirit world is often described as a realm parallel to our own, populated by the souls of the deceased. Many cultures around the world have also developed elaborate rituals and customs related to the spirits of the dead. For example, in certain African countries, the dead are believed to exist in a spirit world that can be contacted by special rituals and ceremonies. Similarly, in certain Native American tribes, it is believed that the spirits of the dead can be contacted through dreams, visions, and other supernatural means. In the Western world, ghostly sightings have been reported for centuries. From ancient ruin sites to modern-day homes, people claim to experience strange hauntings and paranormal encounters. Skeptics often dismiss these stories as sheer superstition or the result of overactive imaginations, but many of these tales have been verified by professional investigators or scientific research. What’s more, many of these ghostly sightings can be explained by scientific means. For instance, some paranormal encounters can be traced back to misidentifications of natural phenomena such as electromagnetic fields or thermal drafts. Other hauntings may be attributed to optical illusions or mental health issues, or even to the placebo effect. At the end of the day, the question of whether ghosts are real is ultimately a matter of personal belief. Some people are staunch believers in a spiritual world beyond our own, while others prefer to explain these supernatural occurrences through scientific means. Ultimately, it is up to each individual to decide what they believe.

The Carver Theatre for the Performing Arts and Alabama Jazz Hall of Fame Opening in 1935, Carver Theatre was one of the leading venues for film and the performing arts for the African American community of Birmingham. Built during the Great Depression and expanded in the boom years following World War II, this theater offered all of the beauty and modern conveniences of some of the grandest downtown venues with air-conditioning and seating for 1300 patrons by 1945. Like other theaters, this downtown venue fell into disrepair as fewer residents patronized downtown theaters in the 1980s. In 1990, the city of Birmingham launched a project to restore the historic theater, which opened two venues—the Alabama Jazz Hall of Fame Museum and the performing arts center—in 1993. Carver Theatre opened in 1935, serving the African American community for many years before falling into disrepair. Backstory and Context The Alabama Jazz Hall of Fame features two thousand square feet of exhibit space that convey the history and accomplishments of musicians with ties to the state of Alabama such as Nat King Cole and Duke Ellington. The museum dates back to meetings that began in 1978 and a variety of exhibits and events that connected Birmingham residents to the history of jazz music prior to the opening of the current museum on September 18, 1993. The museum sponsors performances around the city and works with teachers and community leaders to brings jazz to young people. "Our History." The Carver Theatre for the Performing Arts.

WASHINGTON — The Environmental Justice for All Act would provide long overdue, essential protections to combat the disproportionate burden Black, Indigenous, and other communities of color have faced due to toxic pollution. The House Natural Resources Committee held a markup on the bill which would ensure that environmental justice is centered in future legislation and in the transition to clean energy. “The undue burden of toxic pollution has been put on communities of color for far too long,” said Dr. Adrienne L. Hollis, vice president of environmental justice, health, and community revitalization at the National Wildlife Federation. “This bill, developed in partnership with impacted communities themselves, would bring resources and research to begin undoing these wrongs and alleviate the public health and economic challenges facing these communities. We must take action on the disproportionate costs borne by communities of color and this bill is a crucial first step.” The Environmental Justice for All Act, introduced by House Natural Resources Committee Chairman Raúl M. Grijalva (D-Ariz.) and Congressman Donald McEachin (D-Va.), would strengthen key legislation such as Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and the National Environmental Policy Act. The bill is one of the policy recommendations put forward by National Wildlife Federation after a series of environmental justice roundtables with community organizations, elected officials, and experts. The recommendations address environmental justice issues such as water security, infrastructure, health inequities, land use, and climate change.

Latin America has an important history of cultural and ethnical diversity. Original people (or first Nations) were diverse before the European invasion and had developed important cultural alternatives in order to establish good relationships between different groups. That does not mean that everything was peace, but that they highly valorized differences and could learn ones from the others. For example, Andean people (nowadays from Peru, Bolivia, Equator, Colombia, Chile) build their civilization taking advantage of diversity instead of trying to standardize everything. In that way, they could develop agriculture in the very hard environmental conditions of the Andes. The Spanish conquerors did not understand very well this kind of development and generally ignored or fought again the technological and cultural practices they did not understand or did not share. And even more, the political and economic domination came together with racism and cultural discrimination. The current difficulties of cohabitation in Europe existed first – and still exists – in Latin America. Therefore, the Latin American reflection about intercultural relationships and its experiences in intercultural education can help in some way in the current reflection in Europe.

Recently, specialist don’t tell too much about the hormones that are necessary for the proper functioning of our body. It is thanks to them that we have good or bad mood, we gain weight or have no problem with losing unnecessary kilograms, etc. What exactly are they for us and what is worth knowing? Hormones are chemicals secreted by endocrine glands: the pituitary gland, adrenal glands, pancreas or even the thyroid gland that regulate the rate of our metabolism and affect our body cells depending on the purpose. Today we look at the meaning of the thyroid gland in our body. The thyroid gland is located below the larynx, on the front surface of the trachea. By the action of the pituitary gland – thyrotropin (TSH) it secretes 2 hormones into the bloodstream For the production of these hormones, the body needs material such as iodine, which is supplied with food. Iodine deficiency in the daily diet causes disorders in the secretion of thyroid hormones. As a result, the increased amount of the TSH hormone causes the thyroid gland to grow, which we call goiter. Generally,effect of thyroid hormone deficiency are: drowsiness, constant fatigue, weight gain, while excess causes weight loss or even increased sweating. I wish you health!

In the aftermath of conflict, societies are faced with the challenge of rebuilding their education systems under the auspices of new political landscapes. Oftentimes, those that suffer most from these broken education systems are children, especially those physical, mental, or emotional disabilities. "Hare Krishna, Hare Krishna, Krishna Krishna, Hare Hare, Hare Rama, Hare Rama, Rama Rama, Hare Hare" - represents the maha mantra that the members of the Krishna Consciousness Society in BiH sing, both individually and collectively, in the city streets, which is why people colloquially call it Hare Krishna. The life of Jews in Mostar today is anything but easy. For years, this minority population living in the city on the Neretva River has been trying to improve their position in society and preserve the rich heritage of the Jewish culture in the region. BiH represents a society in which national and religious belonging are tightly bound together. The Law on the Freedom of Religion recognizes the Jewish community as a traditional religious community, however, it remains a religious minority. And there might, in fact, be as many as 200 religious minorities in BIH. This was supposed to be a story about national minorities, however, it soon became an effort to find the words to best describe the greatness of a man who does not allow others to judge him based on what he is, but rather on all the important characteristics that make him WHO he is. Would you risk your life in order to earn four BAM (two Euros)? Many Roma individuals do so on a daily basis. This perilous practice is but one indication of the multi-dimensional poverty facing the largest minority group of Bosnia and Herzegovina (BiH). This photo story illuminates the daily adversities of the Roma population.

Prof. Mady Cisse, École supérieure polytechnique, Université Cheikh Anta Diop de Dakar, Republic of Senegal. Title: IoT intelligent data classifier Type of project: Research project (4 years) The emergence of the Internet of Things (IoT) exposes many objects and devices to the risk of becoming, a thingbot, i.e. a botnet integrating connected objects. Using machine learning and deep learning, artificial intelligence can help develop an intelligent data classifier to enhance security. Thus, the expected results of this project are multiple: ● In the field of cybersecurity: - AI can draw on information about known cyberthreats to instantly detect any attack attempt. - What's more, learning can continue to improve over time, providing a solid defense against threats. - AI can also be used for more secure mutual authentication processes between connected objects. - Thanks to data analysis, it can create a dynamic framework for finding correlations between threats and events, so as to initiate an immediate reaction if an incident is detected. ● In the area of food safety : - AI can contribute to better classification after identifying the nutritional and medicinal properties of local products. - Thanks to odor and taste sensors, combined with an intelligent classification mechanism, AI will contribute to the development of an electronic nose and tongue as essential components of the organoleptic (or sensory) qualification of local products. - It can also help to ensure effective traceability of events in the supply chain, in order to guarantee compliance with hygiene, storage and cold chain conditions, and product consumption deadlines. - Finally, applications could be implemented to provide people with the social and economic means to buy healthy, nutritious food at any time, enabling them to satisfy their dietary needs and preferences and lead healthy, active lives. Key words : - Digital science research topics: Internet of Things (IoT), artificial intelligence, neural networks, cybersecurity, food safety. - Other research topics and areas of application: Food safety, organoleptic quality, local product innovation, nutritional and medicinal properties, food preference.

The Migratory Consular Observatory of Honduras (Conmigho) reported that 7,208 Hondurans who were part of the Central American migrant caravan were deported from the United States. With this, the deportations increased to 57%, because last year there were 75 thousand 279 repatriations, and in 2017 they were 48 thousand 22, that is 27 thousand 257 more. Conmigho recalled that Exodus was formed in San Pedro Sula, Honduras, on October 13, which was joined by thousands of people from El Salvador and Guatemala, mainly. On November 11, the first part of the migrant caravan of the LGTB group arrived in Tijuana, which was housed in a private home in Playas de Tijuana, which motivated the neighbors to demand the immediate relocation of the Central Americans away from the area. Despite the high statistics and dangers, Conmigho estimated that on average 200 Hondurans every day decide to leave their country to save themselves from violence and poverty, in addition to finding a job with which to improve their quality of life. Popular Stories Right now Thus, the majority chooses to start its march to the United States or Mexico, where 44,760 Hondurans were repatriated, of whom 9,100 were minors. The statistics of Conmigo also indicate that 174 Hondurans were deported from Europe, among them, there were 67 infants.

Basal Cell Carcinoma Basal cell carcinoma (BCC) is the most common type of skin cancer, accounting for 80% of all skin cancers. BCC most often appears on areas of the body that have the greatest amount of sun exposure. This includes the face, ears, scalp, back of the neck, and back of the arms and hands. There are three subtypes of basal cell carcinoma. - Superficial BCC appears as a reddish spot or patch with a fine scale on the top, sometimes with a small erosion on the surface. - Nodular BCC appears as a waxy or transluscent nodule with a pearly white or brown pigmentation, and possibly fine blood vessels (capillaries) on its surface. - Sclerosing (or morpheaform) BCC appears like a scar with poorly defined, blurred borders. It is usually flat with a thinning of the skin. Basal cell carcinoma (BCC) is relatively easy to detect and cure rates are excellent, if treated early. BCC can resemble other skin conditions, so tell your doctor if you notice unusual skin changes, such as: - a sore that comes and goes but never completely heals or bleeds. - a shiny bump or nodule, especially if it appears pearly or translucent or brown/reddish like a mole - a slightly raised pink growth with a crusted depression in the center, possibly with tiny blood vessels visible on the surface - a patch of skin that is red or irritated, especially on the chest, shoulders, arms or legs - a white or yellowish waxy scar with poorly defined borders Your doctor will recommend a treatment based on your medical history and the type of BCC, its size, shape, and location. Treatment options include medications such as 5-fluorouracil and imiquimod cream, curettage & desiccation, cryotherapy, excision, Mohs surgery and laser therapy. The best treatment is early detection. Examination by a dermatologist can help assess whether or not a lesion is a basal cell carcinoma.

Overall: 8.2 x 6.1 cm (3 1/4 x 2 3/8 in.) Andrew R. and Martha Holden Jennings Fund 1965.27 Kaolinite is a mineral that is actually a type of clay. Carved in a soft stone that approximates ivory, the central image of the historical Buddha at the moment of his enlightenment is surrounded by scenes from his own life, including his death at the top. The scenes are arranged not strictly chronologically, but aesthetically, such that the scenes where he is standing or seated are paired. A prayer written in a 12th-century Newari script indicates that this Indian sculpture was taken to Nepal. Buddhist travelers brought easily transportable personal devotional sculptures out of India to the Himalayas, where they served as models for local artists. Such works were valued abroad for their proximity to the source of Buddhism, founded in India during the 400s BC.

With development proceeding at a rapid pace in California—between 2001 and 2017, the Golden State lost more than one million acres of wildlands¹—open space is an increasingly valuable commodity. Thankfully, Senators Dianne Feinstein and Alex Padilla (both Democrats) recently took a significant step to protect a large part of Riverside County in Southern California, one of the fastest-growing counties in the nation, from further development by introducing legislation to establish the Western Riverside National Wildlife Refuge. Western Riverside would be one of the largest urban refuges in the nation and provide increased access to nature for nearby Latino communities. Our partners at Hispanic Access Foundation have set up a webpage explaining the new refuge’s benefits here. For more than a year, Senator Feinstein has been working with the county, groups like Defenders and Hispanic Access Foundation, and other policymakers to identify key areas that provide vital habitat for more than 146 species like the endangered Quino checkerspot butterfly and the California red-legged frog. In addition to creating new and much-needed public access nature points for the entire region, the refuge would also generate jobs and safeguard clean water and air. Defenders of Wildlife thanks Senators Feinstein and Padilla for introducing S. 4669. Establishing the new refuge is a truly bipartisan effort: Rep. Ken Calvert (R-CA-42) also played a leadership role by introducing a similar bill in the House of Representatives. Stay tuned to the Hispanic Access Foundation webpage for updates and opportunities to weigh in to support this urban wildlife refuge! 1.

In the animal realm, being a mother is an incredible experience, especially for elephants, whose pregnancies last an average of 18 to 22 months. Elephants are enormously large animals with equally enormous hearts and personalities! They make up for their lack of poise and equilibrium with honey. seeing this adorable elephant group embrace a rare set of twin infants. In Samburu National Reserve in northern Kenya, a pair of incredibly uncommon twin African elephants have been born. The guides from Elephant Watch Camp, who had been taught to identify individual elephants and elephant families in the reserve by Save the Elephants (STE), a UK organisation based in Kenya, spotted the newborn elephants, according to STE in a press statement. The guides informed STE researchers that there was a female and a male calf, and they later validated this information. Twins make up for about 1% of births in elephant populations, which is extremely rare. The mothers frequently don’t produce enough milk to maintain two calves. In Samburu, twin births have only ever been documented once, in 2006. In Shaba National Reserve, both calves tragically died soon after delivery, according to a STE press release. We are all keeping our fingers crossed for the new twins because the next few days will be quite uncertain. The twins are the offspring of a female elephant named Bora, who comes from the Winds II family of elephants. Rare newborn baby elephant cubs were breastfed by their mother Bora and watched over by a vigilant male. They ingested nutrients that environmentalists believe would help them get off to a good start in life in a Kenyan safari park. Kenya is home to an estimated 36,280 elephants, according to the first national wildlife census that was done there last year. When for ivory was higher in 2014, that number indicated a 12% increase in population numbers. The International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) reported last year that habitat loss, notably as a result of land conversion for agriculture, had a catastrophic impact on elephant populations throughout Africa. The most recent revision to the IUCN’s “Red List” of thrеаtened species resulted in the reclassification of African savannah elephants as “” due to a population decline of at least 60% during the previous 50 years.

“If a bullet should enter by brain, let that bullet destroy every closet door.” Today in America it’s not unusual for a gay man or a lesbian to hold public office. Among them include Congressman Barney Frank of Massachusetts, New York City Council Speaker Christine Quinn, and New York State Senator Thomas Duane. But years ago that idea seemed unfathomable. That was the status quo…until Harvey Milk changed everything. In 1977, Milk was elected to the San Francisco Board of Supervisors and became the first openly gay person to do so. However Milk’s life and that of Mayor George Moscone ended on Nov. 27, 1978, when both men were assassinated by former supervisor Dan White. The story of Milk and the San Francisco gay rights movement is told in the documentary film “The Times of Harvey Milk.” Released 25 years ago, it is one of the greatest documentaries ever. Thankfully this Oscar-winning movie is now available in its entirey both on YouTube and Hulu. It is must-see viewing for everybody, especially for those who have only seen last year’s Gus Van Sant-directed dramatization “Milk,” for which Sean Penn won an Academy Award for his portrayal of the slain supervisor.

Neutrophils, as the main cells of the first line of host defense against microbial pathogens, are responsible for pathogen recognition, inhibition of pathogen spreading into the host tissue, and finally, killing the invader cells. Neutrophils carry out these functions via numerous mechanisms, including a relatively recently described activity based on a release of neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs), a process called netosis. NETs are structures composed of DNA backbone, decorated with antimicrobial factors, derived from neutrophil granules. The structure of NETs and their enzymatic and microbicidal inclusions enable efficient trapping and killing of microorganisms within the neutrophil extracellular space. However, the efficiency of NETs depends on neutrophil ability to recognize pathogen signals and to trigger rapid responses. In this chapter, we focus on possible pathways involved in the release of NETs and summarize the current knowledge on triggers of this process during bacterial, fungal, protozoan, and viral infections. We also consider the mechanisms used by microorganisms to evade NET-killing activity and analyze the harmful potential of NETs against the host cells and the contribution of NETs to noninfectious human diseases. Part of the book: Role of Neutrophils in Disease Pathogenesis

In a science fiction story called Runaround (1942), Isaac Asimov introduced his three laws of robotics. These would be built into every (fictitious) robot, and were intended to make them safe and productive for use by humans. In essence, these constituted a kind of machine morality. Roughly stated, these laws, in order of priority, say a robot must: 1. Protect humans 2. Obey orders, except when that conflicts with first law 3. Protect itself, except when that conflicts with first or second laws Sixty-five years later, we still only have robots to vacuum floors and mow lawns. However, we have a plethora of other electronic devices that ring, flash, chirp, vibrate and talk to get our attention. These intrude ever more aggressively into our lives. So it's time for additional, more sophisticated rules. My proposals are that machines must: 4. Behave as reasonably expected 5. Encourage correct use (and discourage incorrect use) 6. Avoid unnecessary side-effects 7. Avoid unnecessary resource requirements 8. Work under all the circumstances in which they're intended to be used 9. Be fun to use These are, of course, obvious to anyone who's ever studied human factors, usability or product design in general. Sadly, however, these laws are seldom followed in practice. So perhaps by listing the laws and corollaries, we can make a kind of checklist for product designers.

(Mentor) - Lake County General Health District reports that Lake County has experienced three deaths related to the flu. In response to the current flu situation, the Lake County General Health Department will be offering two additional flu clinics for all community members: January 12, 2018 from 1:00 p.m. - 4:00 p.m. January 19, 2018 from 9:00 a.m. - 12:00 p.m. These flu clinics are available to infants, children and adults and will take place at Lake County General Health District, located at 5966 Heisley Road in Mentor, Ohio. The district is asking participants to bring their insurance cards with them at the time of their visit. Please call 350-2554 to schedule your appointment today or if you have any questions about these flu clinics. The flu can be a mild to serious illness that could result in hospitalization. The flu virus is easily spread by tiny droplets that are produced by coughing, sneezing or talking. These tiny droplets can travel through the air and enter the mouths or noses of another person or land on surfaces that others may touch. Once a person is exposed to the flu, it may take a few days for symptoms to occur. Symptoms of the flu include coughing, sneezing, fever or feeling hot and cold, running nose or stuffy nose, body aches and feeling tired. “Regardless of whether you get your flu vaccine from us, your local healthcare provider or local pharmacy, getting the flu vaccine is your best defense in managing the flu and protecting others from getting it,” commented Tara Perkins, Lake County General Health District Director of Nursing. Other ways to prevent the flu include the following: • Wash your hands often, especially after sneezing or coughing and when preparing meals. • When sneezing, sneeze into the crease of your arm, near your elbow. This will reduce the spread of germs to your hands which could then travel to other people and surfaces. (Photos by Getty Images) (c) 2018 iHeartMedia, Inc.

Valves are used in both industrial and household plumbing. Their function is to change the flow of water, control flow, or shut-off water in the time of an emergency. Valves are considered an essential component of any drainage system. Valves are accessible everywhere in a wide variety of styles, each with a different design and playing a particular role. The valve is a kind of fitting that permits for regulation, control, and direction of liquids passing through a pipeline. Apart from the direction and regulation of water, these are also used to prevent back flow and regulate water pressure within a system. Valves grants landowners to separate their units of plumbing for maintenance, or shut off a water line when a leak sprout. They have a wide array of applications in most of the commercial and industrial sectors. Also, in wastewater treatment centers, chemical plants, pharmaceutical manufacturers, and automobile production all depend on valves for regulation and direction of fluids and vapors. Valves are manufactured of different materials such as plastics, lead-free brass, inox press fits, cast iron, and galvanized pipe. Ball valves are considered the most common types of valves than the other pipes. They regulate a water flow employing a rotational ball positioned in the midpoint of the valve. This ball has a deep core through its midpoint that manages the flow of water. Ball valves are the most generally used shut-off valve. The ball valves are famous globally for their speed, reliability, and strength. They are extensively used in residential applications to turn the water on and off deprived of a pressure drop. The ball valves made of inox press fittings material generates a robust, watertight seal within the pipe, averting any liquid from escaping. Due to this tight inox seal, they also have applications in natural gas and chemical applications. Ball valves are also perfect for emergency applications where water needs quickly to be shut off and with convenience. The unique design of ball valves lets them avert or alter the flow of liquids through various ports. Because of these multi-ports, water can pass through four different channels.

Whether you are religious or not, there is no denying that history can be absolutely fascinating at times, as evidenced by the recent discovery of a ‘hidden chapter’ of the Bible. It is regarded as ‘an important piece of the jigsaw puzzle in New Testament history,’ as a medievalist from the Austrian Academy of Sciences (OeAW) discovered it using an ancient technique. The layered Palestine manuscript was thought to have been inscribed 1,500 years ago with a Syriac text, which was frequently erased and reused. Grigory Kessel, however, was able to discover one of the earliest translations of the Gospels, made in the third century and copied in the sixth. “The tradition of Syriac Christianity knows several translations of the Old and New Testaments,” Kessel explains. “Until recently, only two manuscripts were known to contain the Old Syriac translation of the gospels.” Despite researchers being unable to reveal a complete translation of the newly found chapter, they shared some of their findings. Taking a look at the original Greek of Matthew chapter 12, verse 1, it reads: “At that time Jesus went through the grainfields on the Sabbath; and his disciples became hungry and began to pick the heads of grain and eat.” But after discovering the Syriac wording, it translates to: “[…] began to pick the heads of grain, rub them in their hands, and eat them.” Claudia Rapp, Director of the Institute for Medieval Research at the OeAW, said: “Grigory Kessel has made a great discovery thanks to his profound knowledge of old Syriac texts and script characteristics. “This discovery proves how productive and important the interplay between modern digital technologies and basic research can be when dealing with medieval manuscripts.” “Despite a limited number of dated manuscripts from this period, comparison with dated Syriac manuscripts allows us to narrow down a possible time frame to the first half of the sixth century. Rapp adds that the newly-discovered text will now be studied and analyzed by religious scholars. “The earliest surviving manuscripts with this Syriac translation date from the 6th century and are preserved in the erased layers, so-called palimpsests, of newly written parchment leaves.”

Views: 24 Author: Site Editor Publish Time: 2021-02-26 Origin: Site Neodymium Magnet are the most common items in people’s real life. Magnets have a wide range of applications. They can be used in industry, manufacturing, and electronic products. Even the entire earth can be understood as a huge magnet. The magnetic north pole is It refers to the south pole of the earth, and the geomagnetic south pole refers to the north pole, while the magnetic poles of the same name repel and the magnetic poles of different names attract. Magnets are not artificially invented, but natural magnetite. The ancient Greeks and Chinese discovered magnetic ore from nature. This kind of stone can easily suck up some small stones like magic, and always Is pointing in a fixed direction. Later, people used magnets in navigation. Ancient China also developed the "compass". Later, this invention became one of the four great inventions in ancient China, and it has been passed down to this day. Neodymium magnets are currently unknown commercial magnets with the highest performance. They are called the Magneto. Its magnetic energy product is more than 10 times that of ferrite, and it can withstand substances that are more than 640 times larger than its own weight. Moreover, its magnetic force is also low. It has super lethality, and in order to verify how strong the magnetic force of the neodymium magnet is, the scientists used several objects to do experiments. The content of the experiment is very simple. People put two magnets with opposite magnetic poles on both sides, and then put some objects in the middle of the two magnets to test the strength of the female. Scientists explained that neodymium magnets can crush several tons of objects, and if the experiment is not an apple, but a human body, even human bones can be easily crushed under the magnetic force of the neodymium magnet.

To explore the factors explaining butterfly diversity in a landscape mosaic of different habitats, we conducted a series of field surveys in the Saihawla National Nature Reserve. This reserve comprised of seven habitats: typical grassland, wetland, mountain valley meadow, degraded grassland, farmland, mountain xerophytic shrub and mountainous shrub. From May to September 2017, we recorded a total of 2,290 butterfly individuals belonging to 63 species, 42 genera, and 5 families. Nymphalidae, with the most species (34) and the most individuals (991), was the dominant family in the reserve. Five species dominated the community: Papilio Xuthus, Pontia daplidice, Aporia crataegi, Aglais urticae, Speyeria aglaja. The species-abundance analysis showed a normal distribution model, suggesting a relatively stable community with the range of butterfly activity extending to different habitats due to the continuity of vegetation types. However, we also found that butterfly distribution in Saihanwula was closely related to the distribution and composition of vegetation among habitats. The Mountainous shrub had the highest biodiversity index and the lowest dominance index, whereas degraded grassland had the lowest biodiversity index and species richness, but the highest dominance index. The Mountain valley meadow had the most number of families, genera, species, and individuals, the degraded grassland had the lowest number of families, genera, species, and individuals. Faunal distribution analysis show that widely distributed species occupied 63.49% and Palaearctic species occupied 36.51%. Furthermore, butterfly diversity in the different habitats of the reserve varied significantly between months. Finally, we found that numbers of butterfly individuals and species increased with higher temperatures, while rainfall had no significant correlation. In conclusion, We believe that appropriate interference is conducive to the development of butterfly diversity, strong human disturbance seriously destroyed grassland environment, affected butterfly survival and reproduction, and reduced butterfly diversity.

Goal: Relating physical understanding of an object’s motion to a graphical representation of acceleration. A soccer ball rolls slowly across the road and down a hill as shown below: Which of the following sketches of ax vs. t is a reasonable representation of the horizontal acceleration of the ball as a function of time? We will assume that rolling friction between the ball and road surface is small and that air resistance can be ignored. We will also assume that the ball does not leave the road surface at the top of the hill. If these assumptions are satisfied, the ball will roll across the level road at a (nearly) constant velocity. As it rolls down the hill, the ball will speed up, producing a constant acceleration in the direction of motion. There will be a nonzero component of acceleration pointing to the right. The graph at the right is a reasonable representation of the horizontal acceleration as a function of time. For our assumptions, answer (5) is the best choice. Context for Use: Give after students explore the vector nature of acceleration. Formal (quantitative) kinematics is not required. Assessment Issues: (1) Can students recognize when an object is accelerating? What criteria do they use? (2) Do students perceive nonzero horizontal and vertical components of acceleration? Do some students think that the acceleration is in the y-direction only? (3) Do students think that the acceleration graph looks like the sketch of the road on which the ball rolls? What process do they use to construct a graph of acceleration versus time? (4) Do students confuse the different motion quantities? For example, do they interpret the graphs of acceleration versus time as velocity versus time graphs? Questions to Reveal Student Reasoning Where does the ball speed up? Where does it slow down? Why does its speed change? What is the direction of the ball’s acceleration while it is on the hill? Does the ball accelerate to the right? Does the ball accelerate vertically? Help students construct the horizontal (and vertical) velocity vs. time graph for the ball. If students have been exposed to forces, draw a free-body diagram and use it to find the net force.

VISION CULTURAL MENTORING INITIATIVE The Vision Cultural Mentoring Initiative is an outstanding community service effort by the University of Maryland to connect college students to the local community to effect change in the educational achievement of disadvantaged youth. The yearlong program pairs college students with high school students in the Prince George’s country area to expose high school students to college and to engage them in learning about multicultural communities. The Vision Cultural Mentoring Initiative was created out of an identified need to expand the experiences of local public school students, so that they have greater interest, capacity and preparation to go to college. On the other hand, the program also expands college student understanding of civic and social needs in the community surrounding their college. For example, Bladensburg High School has one of the lowest SAT school average in Prince Georges County Maryland. Students at the school are struggling to achieve collegiate entrance. A lack of exposure to college, lack of mentorship, and lack of preparation all contribute to the students in this school not pursuing higher education. The Vision Cultural Mentoring Initiative was created to change this reality. The program brings students to the University of Maryland campus on a regular basis to demystify the college experience. Students shadow their college mentors in their classes, they attend campus cultural and social events, they participate in collegiate workshops, and they are guided through the college admissions process. What is most creative about the program is that students are simultaneously engaged in learning about their cultures and history. They are provided enhanced opportunities to affirm their cultural identity through reading culturally focused books and then engaging in scholarly discussions on the books with their mentors. The program was created with the belief that students must see college not only as an opportunity to gain a degree but to grow personally and culturally—to learn about themselves in ways that were not offered during their k-12 experience. The program’s first year produced outstanding results: all of the high school students that participated in the program went to college. The Vision program has made an impact in the local community of Prince George’s County Maryland and positively impacted the lives of its high school and college leaders.

People in families From sexual assault that women face regularly on the streets to people of color experiencing homelessness at a disproportionately high rates, homelessness is a multifaceted issue that requires closer inspection. Cecily Ma, Director of Chapter Programs, discusses in depth these issues in her workshops. For those experiencing homelessness, traditionally, basic needs are food and water. However, in a complex society, access to healthcare, insurance, transportation, education, sanitation, personal care items, and communication are just as important. That’s why here at Mustard Seed Project, the main reason for our street outreach program is not to pass out basic necessities, but to create a presence of trust in which we can direct individuals to our Volunteer Service Navigation program. The main goal is to help individuals rise above their situation through rapport and service, with work put in by both the client and service navigator. A structural barrier is an obstacle that prevents an eligible person from getting access. Examples of this are the locations of programs, how they are organized, and what they require of applicants. These barriers are a result of an inadequate amount of resources. This typically is seen in the form of limited funding. These barriers are most often seen in mental health and substance use care. These are program rules that establish criteria for whom may receive benefits. These restrictions are usually set at the federal level and cannot be influenced locally. These barriers most often affect housing programs. “If you want to learn about homelessness, talk to someone who has lived through it.” ~John Brady, Director of Lived Experience Advisors Over 30 million people in the U.S. are uninsured. Half of this number composes of Black, Latinx, and indigenous communities. The lack of mental and physical healthcare plays a major barrier to escaping homelessness. From practices such as redlining, rental discrimination, mass incarceration, and lack of affordable healthcare. These issues and many more play a role in the high poverty rate of the BIPOC population.

, in November 1st, 1923. His artistic vocation led him to traveling the world and visiting the biggest cities, until he came back to Uruguay during the 1940’s to paint the (one of his passions) and the African-Western rhythms that were popular in the country. His art allowed him to travel the world painting, sculpting, and above all creating. Among his many creations, there was Casapueblo a sculpture in which it was possible to live, paint, and host the friends made in life and his travels. The workshop and museum of Casapueblo is open year round and visited by thousands of tourists from all over the world. This area of the house was donated by its creator, artist Carlos Páez Vilaró, to encourage a cultural interest in his creations, accomplished throughout his successful life. Today, and for some time, Casapueblo has welcomed various personalities from the national and international scopes, mainly artists, painters and sculptors who revel in it. Conferences, presentations of books and events related to culture take place in its many rooms. Self-Taught Construction There are signature wines, there are copyrights and, of course, there is one of the noblest arts that have come to our days, untouched by most architectural styles: signature construction. Casapueblo is that, a signature construction which, at first sight, has not respected any previous molds or outlines, but followed the ideas of a genius to shape a sculpture and dwell in it. According to the chronicles written inside Casapueblo, Carlos Páez Vilaró, without being an architect, was inspired by the ovenbirds and the countrymen who rely on adobe to build their houses. As a result of the sea, the Mediterranean style was inevitable, with its wide white balconies looking onto the horizon, the dawn and its seagulls. That guest who once said that Casapueblo was “the Uruguayan Greece” was right. He just happened to forget something. Up there, at the highest dome of this unique marvel, lives a wise and young artist called Carlos Páez Vilaró, who was the creator of this mythology with sea and jungle creatures as well as people from the Carnival and from all the cities in the world. They have inhabited this incredible place for years.

Formula One racing may not be on your priority list for weekend sport watching, but green automotive enthusiasts should take note: the advanced technology in your new eco friendly car was most likely used on Formula One cars before it landed on your driveway. The pit crew for Formula One teams are constantly trying to alter vehicle diagnostics in order to keep each driver on the track for as long as possible. The game plan is the same for all of us, whether we’re on the track going 200+ MPH or just trying to save some money on our daily commute: use fuel saving devices whenever possible to increase fuel economy and reduce emissions. So how exactly does technology in Formula One cars migrate to your car? To begin, consumer car manufacturers and racing teams are both under pressure from governments to reduce emissions. This translates to smaller engines with turbochargers, which yield a similar power output compared to naturally-aspirated engines. Advanced aerodynamics are also being utilized in both types of cars to reduce drag and let the car drive without as much wind resistance. The exterior of the Toyota Prius, for example, is a perfect example of how auto manufacturers have taken a page from Formula One teams and included sleek front ends that help create more eco friendly cars. Lightweight materials that make up the body of the car, such as aluminum or carbon fiber, are also helping to keep weight down on more consumer cars as production costs go down for manufacturers. McLaren, a company with a rich racing history, was the first to put carbon fiber in Formula One cars back in the 1980s, and is now the first to create an all carbon fiber chassis for their newest road car, the MP4-12C, optimizing safety and performance simultaneously using the light, but extremely rigid, material. While automakers are constantly innovating their cars to be as efficient as possible, there are also plenty of aftermarket products and accessories available today to help make your car greener. Nitrogen inflated tires have been used for years by Formula One teams as a fuel saving device that also improves handling. Think your car could use a boost? Earthgarage has a wide array of products that can help you save the environment and save money on gas too. Earthgarage – Greener Car. Fatter Wallet.

The Martyr Zosima the Wilderness-Dweller Commemorated on September 19 The Martyr Zosima the Wilderness-Dweller lived during the IV Century. One time while hunting, the governor of Cilicia named Dometian caught sight of the elder, who calmly and amiably conversed with the beasts around him. Seeing the hunters, the beasts fled. They then interrogated the elder, – who was he and why did he live in the wilderness. The elder answered, that he was called Zosima, that he was a Christian, and that he was not able to live in the city with the enemies of the Lord Jesus Christ, and therefore he lived alone amongst the wild animals. Then Dometian said threateningly: "If thou dost worship the Nazarene, at Nazareth I shalt hand thee over publicly to fierce tortures, and thou wilt renounce Christ". To the question of what kind of magic Zosima used to tame wild beasts, the elder answered only: "I – am a Christian". At Nazareth the tortures began. They tied the elder head downwards, and to his neck a large stone, and they began to lacerate at his body with iron hooks. The torturers taunted the sufferer: "If the beasts do hearken unto thee, direct one of them to come forth here, and we then will believe in thine God". The holy martyr turned with a prayer to God, and suddenly an huge lion sprang forth. Everyone fled in terror, and the lion went up to the elder, and with its paw began to lift the stone, tied to the neck of the martyr. The governor began to implore the martyr to keep the lion calm, and he gave orders to untie the saint, so as to convey him off to the emperor, but Saint Zosima was already dead, having given up his pure soul to God. © 1996-2001 by translator Fr. S. Janos.

To zoom in on a small corner of the cloud 7,500 light-years away, the Hubble Space Telescope has captured an attractive stage in the development of baby stars. This is called J025157.5 + 600606, and it is a (relatively) small swell in the largest Soul Nebula (also known as Westerhout 5) in the galaxy Cassiopeia. But while the section of the cloud may seem insignificant in the vast nebula complex, it is a great place to learn about the birth of new stars. This is because J025157.5 + 600606 shows a FrEGGs – free-floating evaporating gas globules. Only FrEGGs were found A short time ago, They need a certain conditions. Stars in the large clouds of stellar nurseries are formed from cold clusters of dense molecular hydrogen that fall under their gravitational pull, so the stars are located in dense, molecular clouds. When a very large, hot star begins to shine, their intense ultraviolet radiation ionizes their birth cloud, creating a large, hot bubble of ionic gas. Stromgren sphere. FrEGGs are dense clusters of cold gas that cluster in the Stromgren sphere, and many of them excite to form their own stars. The boundary between the FrEGG and the sphere is seen as the glowing purple portion of the Hubble film because the outer layer of heat gas radiates from the hot nearby star. This density loss means we can go inside and see new baby stars being born. Because frEGGs are so dense, this process does not stop the star formation that forms inside. But it eventually blocks it, reducing the supply of feeding gas to the star that forms within it. For this reason, stars born in FrEGGs have a relatively small mass compared to the larger O- and B-type stars that evaporate their gas. That’s not a bad thing at all. Smaller and cooler stars have longer lifespans than their Sanctuary siblings. It is even possible that this is how our sun was born billions of years ago.

With the advent of Aboriginal street gangs such as Indian Posse, Manitoba Warriors, and Native Syndicate, Winnipeg garnered a reputation as the “gang capital of Canada.” Yet beyond the stereotypes of outsiders, little is known about these street gangs and the factors and conditions that have produced them. “Indians Wear Red” locates Aboriginal street gangs in the context of the racialized poverty that has become entrenched in the colonized space of Winnipeg’s North End. Drawing upon extensive interviews with Aboriginal street gang members as well as with Aboriginal women and elders, the authors develop an understanding from “inside” the inner city and through the voices of Aboriginal people – especially street gang members themselves. While economic restructuring and neo-liberal state responses can account for the global proliferation of street gangs, the authors argue that colonialism is a crucial factor in the Canadian context, particularly in western Canadian urban centres. Young Aboriginal people have resisted their social and economic exclusion by acting collectively as “Indians.” But just as colonialism is destructive, so too are street gang activities, including the illegal trade in drugs. Solutions lie not in “quick fixes” or “getting tough on crime” but in decolonization: re-connecting Aboriginal people with their cultures and building communities in which they can safely live and work.

Date Published: 6 May 2009 Canada's National Microbiology Lab First to Decode Genetic Makeup of H1N1 Flu Viruses Minister of Health Leona Aglukkaq and Chief Public Health Officer Dr. David Butler-Jones today announced that Canadian scientists have completed work on decoding the genetic makeup of the H1N1 flu virus. "The world's knowledge of the H1N1 flu virus has taken a significant step forward thanks to the excellent work done at Canada's National Microbiology Laboratory," said Minister Aglukkaq. "This is an important achievement for our scientists as it marks the first successful sequencing of virus samples from different countries," said Dr. David Butler-Jones, Chief Public Health Officer of Canada. "Our researchers should be commended for completing this important work in less than a week. This is one of the Lab's finest hours." Genetic sequencing is the process of determining the order of the molecules that make up the DNA in each gene of an organism. This complete genetic blueprint provides important information for researchers studying the virus. The laboratory completed sequencing of H1N1 virus samples taken from Mexico, Nova Scotia and Ontario. "This takes us a big step forward in understanding how this virus works," said Dr. Frank Plummer, Scientific Director General of the National Microbiology Laboratory. "Our preliminary analysis does not indicate a significant difference between the virus in Mexico and the virus in Canada." Canada's work on the virus has been submitted to GenBank -- an international, searchable database -- to allow more researchers to have access to the results and benefit from the information.

Acne is a common skin condition that affects people of all ages. It is characterized by the appearance of blackheads, whiteheads, and inflamed red bumps (pimples) on the skin, most commonly on the face, chest, and back. Acne is caused by a combination of factors, including overproduction of oil (sebum) by the sebaceous glands, build-up of dead skin cells, and the presence of the bacteria Propionibacterium acnes (P. acnes). Hormonal changes, certain medications, and certain cosmetics can also contribute to the development of acne. While acne is most commonly seen in adolescents and young adults, it can also occur in adults. Acne is not a serious medical condition, but it can be uncomfortable and can lead to scarring if not treated properly. There are many treatments available for acne, including over-the-counter and prescription medications, as well as lifestyle changes and home remedies. While there is no permanent "cure" for acne, it can be effectively managed with the right treatment plan. This may include a combination of over-the-counter and prescription medications, lifestyle changes, and home remedies. Acne is not contagious and cannot be spread from person to person. However, it can be inherited, so if one or both of your parents had acne, you may be more likely to develop the condition. There are several home remedies that may help to reduce the appearance of acne. These include washing the face twice a day with a gentle cleanser, applying over-the-counter acne creams or gels, using a warm compress to soften and open up the pores, and applying tea tree oil to the affected area. There are several natural remedies that may help to reduce the appearance of acne. These include using tea tree oil, applying honey or aloe vera to the affected area, and consuming foods that are high in antioxidants. However, it is important to note that the effectiveness of natural remedies for acne may vary and more research is needed to confirm their effectiveness. Visit a doctor when you are suffering from Acne!

Compared to store-bought annuals, perennials are reliable, resilient staples of a water-saving landscape. Perennials live more than one year with some, such as live oaks, living almost 200 years. Through careful selection and proper care, perennials will keep your garden looking great year round – and for a long time. The key to a perennial’s true resilience and value is its life cycle: - After germinating, a perennial establishes itself, first through the roots and then the stems and leaves. - Firmly established in the second year, most perennials will flower and set seed. Others may take a few more years before blooming. - As winter approaches, a perennial begins to prepare for dormancy. But before the plant completely dies back or drops leaves, it develops buds for next year and stores energy in the roots. - In the spring when temperatures warm, the plant bursts anew with flowers, leaves and shoots. Evergreen perennials are slightly different. Rather than going dormant in the winter, they slow down photosynthesis and respiration. They need very little water; most of the time seasonal rainfall is sufficient. Select and plant your perennials wisely and you’ll be happy with your landscape for many years to come.

In the article the names of mountains from the region of the Western Bieszczady Mountains are discussed. Of the 244 names collected in this compilation, 149 were analyzed. Their origin was researched, as well as their onomastic motivation, which allowed the oronyms to be divided into appropriate groups according to the genetic-functional classification of H. Borek. The linguistic bases of the mountain names studied are most often appellatives from Ukrainian dialects - Bojko and their neighbors (Hutsul and Lemko) - and also proper names: anthroponyms, hydronyms and toponyms (names of other nearby objects). Among the appellatives, topographic designations predominate, while others are connected with human activities (cultural names). Rare in the Bieszczady are mountain names with metaphoric, situational or commemorative motivation. T. Wegrzyn, ul.

High levels of dangerous chemicals absorbed from sun creams People are absorbing high levels of dangerous chemicals from popular sun creams and sprays. The chemicals could cause cancers and developmental and reproduction problems. The high levels in blood plasma samples are from people who have applied the creams and sprays correctly, and according to the manufacturer's recommended guidelines. America's Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has set a safety threshold of 0.5 ng/mL in blood plasma for the active ingredients found in most sunscreens—but levels of up to 209 ng/mL have been detected by FDA researchers, who tested four popular products on 24 volunteers. Any level above 0.5 ng/mL should trigger an automatic toxicology assessment because the chemicals—avobenzone, oxybenzone, octocrylene and ecamsule—could be cancer-causing and may interfere with healthy development and reproduction. In the test, the four sunscreens—two sprays, one lotion and one cream—were applied to the volunteers, whose blood plasma was tested. Oxybenzone was the most easily absorbed, with levels as high as 209.6 ng/mL being detected.

The air quality in human dwellings, educational and work places has become a high profile issue over the last decade especially in regarding to mould. Mould spores are present everywhere. Moulds grow on a wide variety of organic substrates including wood and are easy to find in all buildings especially those that have moisture available for microbial growth. The wood industry is facing a potential problem as stain fungi (which may often be mistaken for mould) and moulds can be found growing abundantly on green timber and lumber and the public could perceive wood used in building envelopes as a major substrate and source of mould. To ensure that wood is treated fairly among other building materials Forintek has initiated several projects regarding mould and one of them is to review the existing body of literature on moulds and to develop an organized database of information in a searchable form that could be continuously updated. Thus, to update Forintek’s knowledge in this area, to maintain awareness of the latest developments and trends and to establish new contacts Adnan attended the 9th Indoor Air Conference in July 2002 which is considered to be among the most prestigious in the field. As expected, the conference and associated interactions yielded a substantial amount of information directly or indirectly related to current and future projects at Forintek in regard to moulds, substrates for their growth and potential health effects. Overall there was a general understanding that microbial ecology and health-related issues in association with a moisture-damaged site are complex phenomena and require further and thorough research. Modern building technology that uses a plethora of building materials in more or less successful building designs and in association with failures in moisture control provide specific, and in some cases, new ecological niches for microbes. Wood was not singled out or exempted as a source or important substrate for mould growth. The water damage and available moisture is the major factor in supporting microbial growth. Apart from mould there are other equally or more important elements associated with reported ill health and these may include bacteria, tobacco pollution, diesel particles, material and microbial volatile organic compounds, mites and other allergens of animal origin. This report summarizes major findings and developments in indoor air quality issues with special emphasis on mould, health issues and water-damaged human habitats. Parts of it are judged as potentially useful to Forintek members.

Hispanics, among other ethnic and minority groups, are not utilizing preventive care to help prevent and detect conditions for early treatment, and socioeconomic reasons might not be the underlying factor for the disparity, according to two recent studies, the Houston Chronicle reports. A study released earlier this month found that 100,000 lives could be saved annually in the U.S. if residents increased their use of preventive services. The study found that Hispanics, Asian-Americans and blacks used preventive services at the lowest rates. A separate study still is in progress but is "hitting a brick wall" in recruiting Hispanic participants, according to Lovell Jones, director of the Center for Research on Minority Health at University of Texas M.D. Anderson Cancer Center. M.D. Anderson Cancer Center is trying to recruit about 4,000 Hispanic beneficiaries, but after one year, researchers have been able to recruit only 59 people. The recruitment team says only about one in 10 Hispanics asked agree to participate. Jones said that Hispanics commonly do not discuss cancer because they believe the more a person talks about it, the more likely they are to attract it, adding that they say "that if you go looking for it, you're likely to find it." Jones said the Hispanic "attitude often is, if something isn't hurting, it's not a problem." To help recruit more Hispanic participants, the M.D. Anderson Cancer Center is airing public service announcements. Overall, the study hopes to recruit 13,000 minority Medicare beneficiaries, including Asian-Americans, Pacific Islanders, American Indians, blacks and Hispanics. Source: Kaiser Family Foundation

Story by Shannon Wianecki | Illustration by Ana Karla Gherman In one of the most famous legends of ancient Hawaiʻi, Pele, the volcano goddess, sends her youngest sister, Hiʻiaka, to rescue a mortal lover. Three moʻo (supernatural lizards) have captured Pele’s sweetheart and hold him hostage in a cave on Kauaʻi. Thus, Hiʻiaka’s mission involves a second errand: dragon slaying. As Hiʻiaka travels island to island, she encounters many moʻo. On the windward cliffs of Molokaʻi, the young goddess and her attendant Wahineʻomaʻo come to an impassable ravine. As they ponder how to proceed, a slender plank appears. Wahineʻomaʻo starts across, but Hiʻiaka recognizes the bewitched bridge for what it is: the tongue of the man-eating moʻo Kikipua. Spanning the gorge with her magical paʻu (skirt), Hiʻiaka chases the lizard to its lair and kills it. Dragons. Lizards. Deities. Whatever word used to invoke them, moʻo rank among Hawaiʻi’s most mysterious mythic creatures. They figure into the oldest Hawaiian stories and are a key to a deep, nearly forgotten magic. Most moʻo of legend are female, shapeshifters capable of appearing as beautiful maidens or water dragons. They dwell in caves, pools, and fishponds and are fierce guardians of freshwater sources. According to nineteenth-century Hawaiian historian Samuel Kamakau, when fires were lit on altars near their homes, the moʻo would appear: twelve- to thirty-foot-long reptiles, black as night, glistening in the water. “If given a drink of awa,” he writes, “they would turn from side to side like the keel of a canoe.” Thank you for sharing, very interesting, Mahalo Nui that was very helpful thank you Hello, many years ago I dreamt of a lizard/dog creature swimming in clear light blue water near a light sandy beach. I’ve been looking for a resource that describes the creature for a while. So glad you wrote this article. Thanks for sharing.

Why is an atomic bomb so bright? This is because the heat of a nuclear explosion is unlike anything else on Earth. Seventy years ago today, when the first atomic weapon was tested, they called its light cosmic. The heat is such that the air around it becomes luminous and incandescent and then opaque; for a moment, the brightness hides itself. How strong are atom bombs? Nuclear bombs have had yields between 10 tons TNT (the W54) and 50 megatons for the Tsar Bomba (see TNT equivalent). A thermonuclear weapon weighing little more than 2,400 pounds (1,100 kg) can release energy equal to more than 1.2 million tons of TNT (5.0 PJ). What kind of energy is the atomic bomb? The atomic bomb is clean energy, It is also called the atom bomb, The weapon with great explosive power that results from the sudden release of the energy upon the splitting or fission of the nuclei of the heavy elements such as plutonium or uranium. What are the effects of an atomic bomb? Atomic bombs properties and effects. In the splitting process, There is a huge amount of thermal energy, Gamma rays and two or more neutrons is released too, Under certain conditions, the emitted neutrons strike and fission more of the surrounding uranium nuclei that emit more neutrons which split still more nuclei. Why was the atomic bomb used in World War 2? The immense destructive power of atomic weapons derives from a sudden release of energy produced by splitting the nuclei of the fissile elements making up the bombs’ core. The U.S. developed two types of atomic bombs during the Second World War. The first, Little Boy, was a gun-type weapon with a uranium core. Little Boy was dropped on Hiroshima. How big is the most powerful atomic bomb? It was designed to be powerful as 100 mega tons of TNT, but some problems occurred for such a beast to be blown up. So the bomb was made equal to 50 mega tons (mega = 1 000 000 tons, or 50 MT = 50 000 000 tons of TNT) of TNT. Even it’s power was reduced by half, this had been the biggest nuclear explosion so far.

Last Updated on February 23, 2023, by eNotes Editorial. Word Count: 294 "London" by William Blake is a poem with four stanzas in which the poet describes a journey through "each charter'd street" of the city and details the "woe" he observes in every quarter. The poem is similar in content and theme to other Blake poems about the plight of the working classes and reflects his concerns about his home city and its inequalities. Blake uses anaphora and repetition to amplify the core message of the poem: that "mind-forged manacles" oppress the people of London and can be observed "in every cry of every Man," in "every Infant" and indeed "in every voice." The description of London, and even the Thames, as "charter'd" further suggests that there are constraints on the city which are amplifying its widespread "woe." Reflecting the concerns of many during the Industrial Revolution, Blake observes "how the Chimney-sweepers cry" and describes the "blackning Church," a victim of the blackening effect of smoke churned out by factories as heavy industry grows in the city. He also refers to the "hapless Soldiers sigh" being metaphorically represented in blood on the "palace walls," a condemnation of the way working class men were coerced into the army and used as if they were dispensable. In the final stanza, Blake creates a bleak picture of London's "midnight streets" as being filled with "youthful Harlots," whose "curse" engenders pain in "new-born Infants" and "blights . . . the Marriage hearse." This stanza laments the growth of underground prostitution in London and its effects upon marriage and the nuclear family; the concept of a "Marriage hearse" is a chilling oxymoron which ends the poem on a very disheartening note. The state of London, with its child labor, its prostitution, and its "manacles" upon the poor, is, in Blake's assessment, dire indeed.

Today we are taking a look at something all chefs, kids and adults, need to know. In many recipes we need to use knives to chop, slice, and dice. With a little bit of knowledge, knives can go from scary to safe. We will go over basics of using a knife called a chef’s knife, then take a look at how to dice an onion like a pro! A chef’s knife is a common knife to find in the kitchen, and can be used for many different things. A chef’s knife looks like this: However, if you don’t have a chef’s knife at your house, what we are learning can work with other knives too. First, let’s learn how to grip the knife. To watch a short 1-minute video explaining this, click here. Now that we know how to hold the knife, let’s use the knife to dice an onion. First, cut the onion in half as pictured: Next, cut off the ends and peel the dry, papery layers off of the onion. Create Tip: Have a garbage bowl out on your table. It will make things much easier and less messy. Now, using your knife, cut the onion into strips, but don’t cut all the way through to the end. Next, slice the onion in the opposite direction in thin strips. With the hand that isn’t holding the knife, remember to curl your fingers so your knuckles are closest to the knife as shown in the video.

Washington, DC – Congresswoman Elise Stefanik (R-NY-21) has cosponsored H.R. 2817, the National Historic Preservation Amendments Act -- legislation intended to preserve historical and archaeological sites across New York’s 21st district and the entire country. “The North Country is fortunate to be home to hundreds of important historic sites that this legislation would help preserve,” said Congresswoman Stefanik. “This commonsense, bipartisan legislation will help preserve these historical treasures for future generations to enjoy. As the Representative of hundreds of sites included on the National Register of Historic Places, I am proud to support this important legislation.” The National Historic Preservation Act (NHPA) is legislation intended to preserve historical and archaeological sites in the United States of America. The act created the National Register of Historic Places, the list of National Historic Landmarks, and the State Historic Preservation Offices. Many of these sites are in New York’s 21st District, driving tourism and ensuring the long term preservation of critically important historical sites throughout our country. New York’s 21st District includes hundreds of sites that are listed on the National Register of Historic Places, such as the Adirondack Forest Preserve, Fort Ticonderoga, Lake George Battlefield Park Historic District, and Sackets Harbor Battlefield. A more comprehensive list of sites in New York’s 21st District is attached.

The Esophagus is a long, hollow tube that connects your throat to your stomach. Esophageal cancer is a type of cancer that develops there. The food you swallow is moved through your esophagus from the back of your throat to your stomach so it may be digested. Usually, the cells that line the interior of the Esophagus are where esophageal cancer develops. Anywhere along the Esophagus is susceptible to this deadly disease. Esophageal cancer affects more men than women. The sixth most frequent cause of caner-related fatalities globally is this. Varying geographic regions have varying incidence rates. The use of alcohol and tobacco products, as well as certain dietary practices and obesity, may all contribute to greater prevalence of esophageal cancer in specific areas. Also read, 42-year-old’s “birthmark” turned out to be what? Symptoms of Esophageal Cancer: - A difficulty swallowing brought on by the oesophageal lumen’s propensity to narrow due to the same. At initially, only solid foods are challenging to swallow, but as the illness progresses, issues with liquids may also arise. - When trying to eat something and experiencing food-related pain when swallowing, be cautious since this could be an indication of disease. Because of this, swallowing may be painful in those with ulcerated ulcers. This is referred to as odynophagia. - Uncomfortable chest: Chest pain is one of the typical symptoms. There can be chest or back pain. As a result, you can find it challenging. - Coughing: A chronic cough is a symptom of this particular cancer breed. The earliest possible visit to the doctor is recommended. - There is no way to ignore some of the symptoms, including nausea, bone pain, and weight loss. If you have any persistent symptoms that bother you, schedule a visit with your doctor. Your risk of developing the disease is increased if you have Barrett’s Esophagus, a precancerous condition brought on by persistent acid reflux. Consult your doctor for a list of symptoms and signs that could indicate a worsening of your disease. For more health related news, click here.

What Causes Roof Discoloration? When you live in Texas, it is not uncommon to see roof discoloration. There are many factors that contribute to staining roofs and while most stains are cosmetic, some can be more damaging than you may expect. Here is a quick guide to roof discoloration and the reasons they are changing their color. Algae Stains & Clean Streaks Algae stains are probably the most common type of roof discoloration. Algea vary in color from black to dark green/brown. There are many different types of algae that have been found on roofs and all are typically in humid climates. Algae stains usually form in areas of high shade and moist spots. Black streaks that spread across different shingles identify the discoloration as algae. This can be easily washed off with an anti-algae agent mixed with water. Be sure not to power wash or aggressively scrub the roof as this can cause extra roof wear. Clean streaks can be found trailing from certain protrusions of your roof such as aluminum vent fixtures. The aluminum salts can slowly wash down the roof preventing growth of algae in streaks where algae usually tends to grow. This is often confused with algae stains, however, you will notice that the stains will seem to originate from specific shingles and not in generic areas. This roof discoloration comes from manufacturing defects where the shingles have not been properly cured and the pigment of the asphalt leeches out of the shingles, causing dark streaks on your roof. Debris stains can vary in color from brown to black and can be attributed from both organic and inorganic matter. Brown to black stains found in the shady areas under trees are caused from both small and large particles falling off the tree and essentially dyeing the color of your shingles. This type of stain can also be found where debris tends to collect on your roof. Grey to black stains will often be found around chimneys and can be attributed to soot and ash. Gently washing with soap and water can help with some of these stains. If you have any questions about roof discoloration, feel free to give Peak Roofing & Construction a call at (972) 335-7325. We are happy to assist you with making your roof look brand new!

I just read David Orr’s essay “The Style of Luis de Gongora” collected in his You, Too, Could Write a Poem. His argument is that the debates over whether poetry is simple or difficult are debates about style. He cites lines from Wallace Stevens and Frank O’Hara to illustrate the differences in their respective styles to lead into an analysis of the early modern, Spanish poet Luis de Gongora’s work. His writing is compelling, approachable, and persuasive, so that his point seems obvious. The whole collection is well worth checking out. CHILDREN, QUESTIONS, POEMS Children’s minds are wondrous. They ask questions, many simple and profound, and are unafraid to share their doubt, skepticism, and curiosity. Uncovering the child-self inside any person is often key to regaining intimacy with your creative self. Julia Cameron’s The Artist’s Way is concerned with recreating a life in which that child-self is welcome and safe. This week’s prompt takes inspiration from those connections and from a neat op-docs piece on the NYT’s site. Imagine one of your childhood friends, think back to your early days when you saw this friend regularly and the times you had together. What are the questions you would like to ask that person? What are the questions you wanted to ask them when you were a child? Write a poem in only questions that captures the nature of your relationship with this friend. Use words that you might have used then, language that reflects the nature of the friendship, a structure that mirrors the fabric of that connection.

No-loss air drain valves, also known as zero-loss drain traps or no-loss drains, continuously measure for condensate and remove it only when needed. Removing condensate is important to the air quality levels required by your equipment. No-loss drains remove condensate from compressed air systems with no associated loss of compressed air. They are typically installed at the compressor, air dryer, filter, storage tank or at any point in the piping where moisture might collect. No-loss drains open a valve only when signaled by the condensate level control, making the no-loss drain a more efficient option. No-loss condensate drains can: - Improve air quality - Eliminate the need for periodic adjustments of interval and cycle times often associated with timed drains - Eliminate clogging and pressure loss associated with a float operated valve - Reduce energy costs by eliminating air loss - Lower maintenance frequency and costs Timed drains, an alternative to no-loss drains, use a timer to drain under the worst-case condensation conditions and therefore often release valuable compressed air along with condensate. An incentive of $200 per unit is available for retrofits and new construction projects. The average payback, including incentive, is less than one year.

Acknowledging the importance of drought mitigation strategies, EU researchers underlined the need to tackle climate change, the root of the problem. Researchers at the European Commission have warned that nearly half of the EU's territory is currently at risk of drought, as southwest Europe wilted under a punishing heatwave. In a report for July, the European Commission’s Joint Research Centre said on Monday that 46 percent of the EU's territory was exposed to warning-level drought, with 11 percent at an alert level, with crops already suffering from the lack of water. Italy was the hardest hit, with the Po River basin in the north of the country facing the highest level possible of drought severity, the EU said. Italy declares state of emergency for areas surrounding river Po, which accounts for roughly third of country's agricultural production and is suffering its worst drought for 70 years pic.twitter.com/f6XBImYUeY— TRT World Now (@TRTWorldNow) July 5, 2022 'Very critical situation' In Spain, water reservoir volumes are currently 31 percent lower than the 10-year average, the report said, while in Portugal, water to produce hydroelectric energy is at half the average of the previous seven years. The EU researchers also warned that the lack of water and strong heat are driving crop yields lower in France, Romania, Spain, Portugal and Italy. Weather forecasts predict more of the same, the report said, adding to an already "very critical situation" that will exacerbate the effects on agriculture, energy and water supply.

The Iowa Catholic Conference offers these comments on House Study Bill 671 based on the principles of taxation found in Catholic social teaching. There are two basic moral principles that should govern the collection and distribution of taxes as they benefit the State of Iowa and its people. Legislators should practice distributive justice wisely, so that all people can share in the benefits of life in society, for example, education, health care, protection of the environment and security. There should be a special concern for the poor and vulnerable who cannot provide themselves with what is needed to live in dignity. The Iowa Catholic Conference supports raising adequate revenues for a strong social safety net. Taxpayers should practice contributive justice, cooperating with the government to contribute to the common good by paying their fair share of taxes. Through contributions collected by taxes, we share the blessings that God has given us so that these resources can be used for the good of all. A just and equitable system of taxation ensures that everyone contributes to society according to his or her ability to pay. Levying and paying taxes are essential acts of government and of mutual dependence. But when all are mindful of the needs of all, then the rights and dignity of each individual are safeguarded. Regarding provisions of the bill: Taxes Will Be Lowered By More Than $53 Million in the First Year and $1.7 Billion Over Five Years: Will this allow adequate revenues for public education, Medicaid, public safety, a strong safety net, and other acts of government essential to the common good? In addition, a greater share of taxes paid will be shifted from the income tax to the sales tax, which typically falls more heavily on lower-income people. 529 Plans: The bill couples with federal tax law changes and benefits parents who pay nonpublic K-12 tuition. This provision should be retained.

Symmetries in nature make things beautiful; symmetries in data make data handling efficient. However, the complexity of identifying such patterns in data has always bedeviled researchers. Scientists from Osaka Metropolitan University and their colleagues have taken a major step towards detecting symmetries in multi-dimensional data by utilizing Bayesian statistics. Their findings were published in The Annals of Statistics. Bayesian statistics has been in the spotlight in recent years due to improvements in computer performance and its potential applications in artificial intelligence. Bayesian statistics is a statistical approach that, even when data are insufficient, derives the probability of an event occurring by first setting a prior probability and then, whenever new information is obtained, calculating a posterior probability—an update to the prior probability—that the event will occur. The calculation of posterior probabilities requires complex calculations of integrals and therefore is often considered an approximation only. The international team including Professor Hideyuki Ishi from Osaka Metropolitan University, Professor Piotr Graczyk from the University of Angers, Professor Bartosz Kołodziejek from Warsaw University of Technology, and the late Professor Hélène Massam from York University (Toronto) has succeeded in deriving new exact integral formulas, and in developing a method to search for symmetries in multi-dimensional data using Bayesian statistical techniques. When the amount of data to be handled increases, the optimal pattern must be selected from a vast number of patterns, making it difficult to solve the problem precisely. Addressing this challenge, the team has also developed an efficient algorithm for obtaining an approximate solution even in such cases. In the words of Professor Ishi, “Symmetries in data are ubiquitous in a wide variety of models. Once symmetries are identified, the number of parameters required to display the structure of the data, and the number of samples required to determine the parameters, can be significantly reduced. In the future, the results of this research are expected to contribute to genetic analysis, discovering chromosomes that have the same function in different locations.” Osaka Metropolitan University is a new public university established by a merger between Osaka City University and Osaka Prefecture University in April 2022.

Monday, August 3, 2009 Creating Character: Philip This, to me, is elegant menswear. Philip's helmet was buried with him in his tomb, in Vergina, and can be seen today in the museum there. Philip inherited a kingdom in perilous disarray; by the end of his life, Macedon ruled all of Greece, and Philip's troops were preparing to invade Persia. Were he not subsequently overshadowed by his more famous son, Philip would be remembered today as one of the most brilliant rulers of the ancient world. He was a fun character to create, a likeable rogue: a fierce soldier, canny politician, drinker, womanizer, and surprisingly pragmatic diplomat. His conflict with Alexander sprang, I think, from the fundamental difference in their characters: Philip wanted to conquer the known world, but Alexander wanted to conquer the unknown world. For all their similarities, he lacked his son's compulsive curiousity. The Oedipal conflict is also vivid in Philip and Alexander's relationship. Freud read Shakespeare; Shakespeare read Plutarch; and Plutarch, one of Alexander's earliest biographers, would have known his Sophocles. Philip was stabbed to death at his daughter's wedding by one of his bodyguard, a man named Pausanias. Historians have speculated the assassin was hired by Alexander, impatient to assume the throne; or his mother, Olympias, jealous of Philip's recent marriage to a much younger wife; or both of them together. Conveniently, Pausanias is supposed to have tripped as he ran across a vineyard toward his getaway horse, and was caught and torn to pieces before he could be questioned.

Early Christians used a wide variety of symbols to express their faith. At times, these symbols provided a sort of secret language among believers. When a Christian met a stranger, he could draw one-half of the ichthys or "fish” and wait to see if the stranger would complete the drawing. Christian symbols include the Chi-Rho, Alpha and Omega, anchor, fish, cross, dove, six-point star, pelican and others. The butterfly is not mentioned in scriptures, but the metamorphosis that a caterpillar goes through is a perfect illustration for the story of the Christian life and resurrection. The butterfly starts life as a caterpillar; then enters a stage so dormant that it appears lifeless in a tomb-like cocoon; finally, a beautiful winged creature appears. Christians lead a life on earth, enter death, and will see eternal life through Jesus Christ. "For the trumpet will sound, the dead will be raised imperishable, and we will be changed." - 1 Corinthians 15:52 *Mary Helen Marigza is a lifelong United Methodist, a past missionary with the Woman's Foreign Missionary Society, and a current member of Belmont United Methodist Church in Nashville, Tennessee. Marigza created a set of Christian Symbols out of recycled church window glass to tell people about the meaning behind common religious symbols.

Urinary incontinence also called micturition is urination happening involuntarily and that sure does affect someone’s personal hygiene and social life. The urinary bladder is capable of holding the urine without any problems, until there is a social place to void. There are 2 valves which help in continence namely involuntary smooth muscle – internal sphincter muscle and that which opens when bladder is half –full and the external sphincter skeletal muscle that which is voluntary and helped by the Kegel’s exercises – pelvic floor hygiene. Urge incontinence is the sudden urge to urinate leading to involuntary urination from overactive bladder. Frequent urination happens because of the uninhibited detrusor muscle contractions. Treatment focuses on relaxation techniques, bladder drills and anti-muscarinic drugs. A Botox injection into the urinary bladder calms the bladder in worst-case scenario. Stress urinary leakage happens when there is increased intra-abdominal pressure during sneezing, coughing, jogging etc. There is a direct transmission of pressure to the urinary bladder which forces urine out unintentionally. The stress leakage particularly affects those who have borne babies. The pelvic floor weakens, loses it’s tonicity and doesn’t co-operate anymore. Pelvic floor exercise helps somewhat, but definitive treatment is available in the form of tape [mid-urethral sling] to help support the outlet and thereby provide quality of life. `Over-flow incontinence is leakage of urine after the bladder is filled to the brim and leak happens when urine dribbles out through weak sphincters due to incomplete emptying. Other conditions that affect nerves such as diabetes, Parkinson’s and multiple sclerosis could also cause incontinence by affecting the nerves of the micturition reflex. Here the symptoms are treated according to the cause. And finally, don’t put up with this nuisance, but take advice from the doctor and ask for help. And remember, WHO has reclassified those 66 to 79 years old as middle aged and 18 to 65 years as youth or young people. Amazing, isn’t and we will talk about this in my next blog.

During the hottest part of the day, when sand temperatures reach 70 °C, the hairy back of the Saharan silver ant repels the sun’s rays and sheds excess heat. Nanfang Yu from Columbia University in New York was intrigued by how each ant looked like “a droplet of mercury”, so took a closer look. Yu’s team found that the ants’ silvery appearance comes from a dense array of Toblerone-shaped hairs, which reflect visible and near-infrared light. The hairs are about the same thickness as the wavelength of the sun’s warming rays, so the rays bounce off their triangular walls. The hairs are much thinner than the wavelengths of mid-infrared light so they allow those wavelengths of light to radiate away from the ants – effectively cooling them down. Ants with hair had body temperatures between 5 and 10 °C lower than those that had been shaved (Science, doi.org/5jc). Their silvery coats allow the ants to scavenge the corpses of less-fortunate insects and arthropods under the midday sun.

What do you think, will humans get to conquer Mars? For now it still falls within the scope of fiction, but the actual plans to get there have been real for decades. Well, if it ever happens – there’s a hole on Mars where humans could find shelter. And NASA has recently published an epic photo of it. The hole was discovered accidentally (like many great things in science). The researchers spotted it in 2011 on images of the dusty slopes of Mars’ Pavonis Mons volcano. “The photo was taken by the HiRISE instrument aboard the robotic Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter currently circling Mars,” NASA explains on its website Astronomy Picture of the Day (APOD). Tim Titus of the U.S. Geological Survey in Flagstaff explains that holes like this are entries to the subsurface of Mars, “whether these are just deep vertical shafts or openings into spacious caverns.” He adds that “caves might provide a protected niche for past or current life, or shelter for humans in the future.” The conditions on Mars are pretty harsh, and potential explorers and inhabitants could find shelter in holes such as this one. Whether humans send spacecraft, robots, or even go to Mars themselves someday, these holes and their interior caves could protect them. I wonder if I’ll live to see the first human sent to Mars? I highly doubt it. Still, I always find discoveries like this exciting, and not to mention that the photos are pretty epic, too. [via the Independent, APOD; image credits: NASA, JPL, U.

Sports Participation Improves Educational Outcomes and New Skill Development A recent March 2019 study, Getting Into the Game: Understanding the Evidence for Child-Focused Sport for Development, has shown a correlation between children engaging in sports and factors such as increased educational outcomes, greater social inclusion, increased child protection, and learning new skills. The study was conducted by UNICEF and the Barca Foundation. The study focused on Sport for Development (S4D) organizations, which are entities that serve a variety of purposes through sport such as improving health, developing physical abilities, encouraging teamwork, promoting educational outcomes, or simply having fun. The study’s findings were informed through over 100 literature article reviews, mapping of available evidence, and surveys of S4D programs. The survey included participation from 106 S4D programs, mostly located in Africa, from a global sample of 2985 identified programs. The survey participants were selected to ensure proportionality and similarity with the global sample in order to generalize results and findings. The study divided its findings into four key areas: - Education: Successful programs facilitate a positive teaching and learning environment, focusing on skills such as problem identification, critical thinking, and problem-solving. The appointment and training of qualified educators to lead these initiatives is paramount. - Social Inclusion: S4D programs should include team-based sports that are participatory to the extent that they adapt to the needs of all children. The creation of supportive and participatory environments that recognize accomplishments should improve social inclusion outcomes. - Child Protection: By creating safe and secure spaces, children can learn conflict-resolution techniques and skills that will ultimately encourage cooperative behavior. - Empowerment: Sports programs encourage mastery-based learning. Additionally, children learn civic engagement skills through eliciting the participation of families and communities. A second phase of research will take place in 2019.

Crescent-shaped marking that follows the edges of feathers and can be any natural color. In dominant form, Crescents (CsCs) can double-up for denser, more concetrated coverage. Dominant Crescent Examples Dominant & Recessive Crescent cont. Below are two examples of each type of presentation. Take note that these are just general appearances– please refer to the next tab to view more examples & guidelines on how Crescents can be presented on your stryx design. Recessive Crescents (nCs) appears in rows, each row having one layer of crescents. Dominant Crescent (CsCs) can have two or three layers of Crescents per row. - Crescents can appear anywhere within the allowed coverage range, and also do not have to cover the entire range available. Shape & Coverage cont. Crescents can be fairly dense and lacey. The first import here is a good example of a more arrow shaped crescent! There can be crescents more minimal in coverage and less dense, so long as the crescents themselves are not too large. Appearing in Patches Crescent can appear in patches around the stryx’s body. Edges, Blending & Texture Crescents & Using Fade-Erase Crescents can fade-erase. Meaning, the marking can steadily and smoothly “disappear” out into the rest of the design using a very soft erase technique. Colors & Interaction Crescents may be any natural color. While crescents can be soft-erased for smoother transitions, the marking as a whole should feature only one color. Things to Avoid - Crescents cannot travel into the wings or tail in a way that resembles Barring. - Crescents should not be too small, as to resemble Flecks or Frost.

Blue light blocking glasses are becoming increasingly popular due to the growing awareness of the potential negative effects of blue light exposure on our health. Here are some reasons why blue light-blocking glasses may be necessary: Reduced eye strain: Blue light emitted by electronic devices such as computers, smartphones, and tablets can cause eye strain and fatigue, leading to headaches and blurry vision. Blue light blocking glasses can help to reduce this strain and prevent these symptoms. Improved sleep: Exposure to blue light at night can interfere with our circadian rhythm and disrupt our sleep patterns. Blue light blocking glasses can help to reduce this exposure, allowing for a better night's sleep. Reduced risk of macular degeneration: Long-term exposure to blue light can damage the retina and increase the risk of macular degeneration. Blue light blocking glasses can help to reduce this risk. Increased productivity: By reducing eye strain and fatigue, blue light blocking glasses can help to increase productivity and focus, particularly for those who spend long hours working on a computer or using electronic devices. Better overall eye health: Blue light blocking glasses can help to protect the eyes from the potential long-term effects of blue light exposure, including age-related macular degeneration and cataracts. Overall, while blue light blocking glasses may not be necessary for everyone, they can provide many benefits for those who spend a lot of time using electronic devices and want to protect their eyes from the potential negative effects of blue light exposure.

SimuLab 3: Wholesale Coin Flipping Random Walk is a program that uses a computer to do our ten-penny flip thousands of times faster than we can. The computer is programmed so that "heads'' and "tails'' are equally likely to occur. The computer also plots the results. Please see Java Applet Page. 2. Click on the Flip button to flip one coin at a time. Click Flip again. And again. Repeat until you have flipped ten coins. Study the numbers at the bottom and the top of the graph: What is being recorded? 3. Now repeat the process, but this time click Go to have the computer flip coins automatically, one after the other. Notice that as the bar graph (histogram) grows, the vertical scale changes to keep the plot on the screen. The computer will run 100 trials of ten coins each. Record results in your notebook. 4. Now choose a new window (choose Coin Flip in the New box on the control panel). 5. Click Go and watch the graph grow. To speed up the process, choose Less Graphics from the Options menu. 6. Choose the Tile Windows command under the Options menu and compare the two graphs. (Tile Windows shrinks the windows and places them side by side, so you can view more than one at a time.) Are the two patterns the same? Can you predict the shape of the next graph if you make a third run? Try it! Tile the resulting three displays. 7. Click on Coin Flip one more time, select 500 for the Number of Trials under the Experiment menu, and choose Less Graphics under the Options menu. Press Go. 8. Select the Tile Windows command under Options to see all of these results side by side on the screen. 9. Experiment on your own. Change the number of trials. You can also change the number of flips per trial with the Number of Steps command under the Experiment menu. You should now be able to verify the prediction you made at the end of HandsOn 10. Again, make a prediction about what the graph will look like. Previous: HandsOn 10 - Coin Flipping

St. Mark's Campanile (Bell Tower) In front of the Basilica we find that which the Venetians call the "Master of the house", moreover, the famous bell tower of San Marco. It is 97 metres high and on top is a golden statue of the Archangel Gabriel. The statue is 3 metres high and has big wings that, when pushed by the wind, make it rotate. For the Venetians, when the angel is facing the Basilica, it is a sign that there will be high water. On the morning of 14 July 1902 the Venetians woke up without their bell tower. A sudden collapse had forever destroyed one of the iconic images of the city. On the evening of the same day, the City Council gathered out of urgency and decided that the bell tower should be reconstructed 'how it was and where it was'. Venice could not give up on one of its dearest symbols. Historical records of its reconstruction express the profound attachment of Venetians to this monument: work soon began in 1903 and in 1912, the angel was put back in place. No less famous than the bell tower are the 5 bells themselves: the Nona, that chimed on the ninth hour, the Marangona (from "marangon", or carpenter), that chimed in the morning and evening – to mark the beginning and end of the working day, the Maleficio, that announced those condemned to death, and finally the Trottiera and the bell of the Pregadi, that called the judges and senators to their seats in the Doge's Palace.

The sharing economy helps everybody live with less. We’ve seen it work for living spaces and for certain possessions, namely books. How about food? The Community Fridge is an experiment in which a mini-fridge is placed in a public location with these instructions: “Take what you need. Leave what you don’t.” UC Davis grad student Ernst Bertone theorizes that a lot of people have a lot of uneaten food lying around, and we can reduce waste by giving that extra food to others. As this takepart article explains, neighbors are free to place their surplus items in Mr. Bertone’s public mini-fridge (placed by a sidewalk, protected by its own little roof), and free to take anything they find there (mostly nonperishables). Bertone posts new items to a community webpage, giving all a chance to scoop up the ingredients they need most. Food sharing is gaining traction in countries like Germany and Spain, but community fridges in the US face lots of red tape. I can see why. Rules governing what foods can go in the fridge are hard to enforce, and one rotten egg spoils the lot. There are questions of health and food safety, not to mention responsibility: who pays for electricity? Who keeps it clean? Anybody who’s ever experienced an office refrigerator knows how easy it is to abuse a shared food-storage system, intentionally or otherwise. These unsavory possibilities leave a bad taste in my mouth. But I love how the project raises awareness of the national epidemic of food waste. And I see many parallels to tiny houses, which by their growing popularity have informed a wider public about the costs of living in excess. (How fitting that Bertone skirted health officials by putting his fridge on wheels… the same tactic homeowners may use to avoid minimum-square-footage zoning laws.) Ideas can move rapidly from extreme to mainstream, and you don’t have to participate to learn something. Thanks to Caitlin Chapman.

Today, we will focus on Compassion — how it is learned, how it is taught, and how we are moved to acts of compassion. Since February is Black History month, our speaker, Lauren Young, has chosen to share some of the lessons she learned about compassion in her childhood and teens against the backdrop of the Civil Rights Movement of the 1950’s and ’60’s. Lauren Young, Born in Southern Wisconsin, learned her first lessons in acts of compassion by learning to be kind to animals. Her father was a dairy farmer and her mother was an elementary school teacher. Educationally, she was among the last to attend a rural one-room school (8 grades taught by one teacher); and later, among the last to graduate from a hospital-based, 3-year diploma school leading to a R.N. (Registered Nurse) license. Spiritually, she was first brought up Methodist, then the United Church of Christ; while at the same time, she was taught Unitarian principles and philosophy. Lauren’s great uncle was a Unitarian minister and college chaplain at a liberal college in Ohio, which inspired both her mother’s and her interest in Unitarianism. Topics: Principle 2. Justice, Equity, and Compassion in human relations, UU Principles

The world's public debt is soaring…. But… The Covid 19 pandemic put pressure on the world's public finances. States have and still have to spend heavily to manage the health crisis and limit the disastrous impact on the economy in general and in particular on household incomes. The various support plans have reached the astronomical sum of 14 trillion US Dollars (IMF source) or 2,200 billion more since the last evaluation contained in the october 2020 report. The resurgence of the pandemic with the emergence of variants leads to a whole series of new restrictions that require the extension of aid. The crisis has logically caused public deficits to soar The public deficit has reached 13.3% of world GDP compared to 3.3% in 2019. As a percentage of GDP, global public debt has risen from 79.6 in 2012 to 99.5 in projection for 2021. The deterioration is due to lower revenues and additional expenses. Commodity and oil producers are suffering from collapsing prices. However, the IMF estimates that in 2021 the public deficit is expected to decline at least for developed economies. Its report highlights the positive effect of "debt services that will continue to fall" thanks in particular to very low interest rates. Budgetary support must be maintained until the recovery is significant. In the United States but also in Europe, India and the rest of Asia, the pandemic weighs heavily in the balance of the various economies. The world's largest economy recorded a 3.5% decline in its activity, its worst result since 1946, with poverty on the rise. Elsewhere, declines are generally noticeable and unemployment is on the rise. Governments around the world will need to find policies that contribute to a transformation to green, digital and inclusive economies, all within a credible medium-term fiscal framework, especially for countries with high debts.

Monte Saraceno is a magical place, which still excites those who decide to visit the Gargano today. In these places, as early as the 9th century BC a peaceful population settled, dedicated to agriculture, hunting and fishing, the Dauni. People very different from the Italic peoples of the nearby Apennines also in the way of honoring and burying the dead. From the top of a spur of rock overlooking the sea, the necropolis of Monte Saraceno is the ideal place for walks in contact with nature and history. About 5 kilometers from the town of Mattinata, a path of Aleppo pines, almond trees and carob trees leads to the top of Mount Saraceno, on the eastern end of the Gargano, where there is a fascinating proto-historic necropolis dating back more than 2500 years ago. There are more than 500 tombs carved into the rock, in a mysterious stone landscape that mixes itself with wild nature on one of the most beautiful stretches of coast in the region. Surrounded by the ancient city of Matino, the necropolis preserves traces of the Dauni people, a civilization dedicated to agriculture. In the burials numerous objects of the funerary equipment have been found, such as carved heads, stems and shields, now preserved in the city Civic Museum. A paradise for nature and archeology lovers, the necropolis also has archeo-trekking paths that culminate in the ancient sacred Via dei Dauni

The Third Ladybird Book of British Birds – #16 The Curlew I’m currently reading the third volume of the Ladybird Book of British Birds and their nests from the 1950s. Times have changed for the Curlew: The Curlew gets its name from its call, which you must often have heard on the radio. Okay, I’m going to need some help here, from someone who knows their bird cultural history or was alive in the UK in the 1950s and who knows why the Curlew’s call was often heard on the radio. It is a large bird with a long, curved beak, and in the winter lives on the seashore in large flocks. In the early summer, however, the Curlew nests on moors and bogs, or on hillside fields. I’d love to see a ‘large flock’ of Curlew. We’ve halved their population here in the last 25 years and almost eradicated them from Northern Ireland entirely. There are only a few hundred pairs of Curlew in the south and midlands of England. The nest, which is really only a few dead rushes or leaves scraped together, is usually placed amid coarse grasses or heather. It is not easy to find when the eggs are in it, but as soon as they hatch, the parents give the position away by their anxious cries as you approach. I’ve heard those anxious cries on Westray: Curlews eat worms, snails, insects and a few berries . .. and a few people eat Curlews. People certainly did eat Curlews. King Charles I tucked into 11 for dinner in 1625: That’s historically a small part of the reason their numbers are under such pressure. Changes made to land by farmers, including draining wetlands, and intense grazing by animals for meat as well as house-building have all added to their lack of success in raising families. Another is having 13 million inbred domestic dogs in the UK, allowed off-lead in National Parks, nature reserves and moorland areas. Who cares enough about Curlews to revolutionise the ownership and use of land, what they eat and how pets are kept? Too few people. Feel free to leave a Reply :)

I'm research this circuit: The author of my book says that the purpose of this circuit, said "Self Biased Present Reference", is to generate a current almost independently of the delivery voltage. Boy also says that, if M3 or M4 are perfectly equip, than I1=Iref. Then e follows that: AN 2-nW 1.1-V self-biased current reference in CMOS technologies off which I can find VGS1 also I1. Your 1: When and author says that the current mirror belongs perfectly matched and following I1=Iref, isn't it too much simplified? He neglects channel lenght transition, but in reality the source-to-drain voltages of M3 and M4 will nay be equal (because we have just M1 under M3, instead we have M2 and one resistor under M4) Question 2: Why is this current very independent about VDD? The autor says: "The value of the generated current weakly depends on the supply voltage because there is an high impedance element per branch capable to absorbing possible feeding variations. These two parts are the transistors M2 and M3. The flow to source spannkraft starting M1 and M4 cannot not change freely: the former is two VGS above ground that latter is of VGS below VDD. Anywhere supply fluctuation is then “absorbed” the the high resistance that we have within drain and source by M2 and M3" I don't understand the strong portion of the copy: why be any fluctuation “absorbed” by the high resistance that we have between drain and source of M2 and M3?

Any more, since songwriting entails editorial both words and music in favour of songs, uncountable songwriters entertain a musical background. And roughly, many songwriters do their own songs. After all, some of the greatest songwriters of all time classify Bob Dylan, Prince, and John Lennon. All of them are musicians. But there are many people in the music industry (especially in popular music) who are solely front-office for songwriting.

For part one click here For Part two click here Fear is an essential part of TAQWA. TAQWA is a complex term describing a life filled with love, fear and obedience to Allah Subhanawataala and instilled with a constant awareness that He Subhanawataala is with us every waking and sleeping moment, and that He subhanawataala is protecting us and watching us, and that nothing escapes him whether it is overt in action or covertly residing in the recesses of our mind. This awareness modulates our behavior inside salah and outside salah. Taqwa is the ultimate goal of every sincere Muslim. Allah Subhanawataala gives us the prescription to overcome fear and grief by following His guidance. For that we need an understanding of His words, their meaning, the context in which they were revealed and the method of practice as demonstrated by Prophet Muhammad peace and blessings be upon him. He Subhanawataala gives us a choice……………an option of overcoming FEAR and GRIEF. It is now upto us if we choose to seek the cure. An finally sages and scholars tell us that it is best to learn from History as history repeats itself, again and yet again. Allah Subhanawataala says in the Quran that the only reason he relates stories of people from the past, is to teach us not to repeat the mistakes they made and to learn of the consequences of those mistakes…………. Thus be guided by the moral of these stories in the Quran and change our behavior before punishment descends or Time runs out for us individually or collectively. May I share with you the story of THE STRONGEST NATION IN THE WORLD?

Aerosols are fine particles that are produced by waves breaking at the ocean surface (sea spray), phytoplankton (sulfate aerosol), sandstorms (dust), and combustion (burning of fossil fuels and wildfires). These microscopic particles can impact climate directly by absorbing or scattering incoming solar radiation and indirectly by affecting cloud properties such as extent, lifetime, and reflectivity. Aerosols also affect air quality by reducing visibility and, when inhaled, can affect our health. The Atmospheric Chemistry Group at NOAA’s Pacific Marine Environmental Lab has been studying the effects of aerosols on climate and air quality by participating in shipboard national and international research field campaigns and long-term aerosol monitoring for over thirty years. Their work has employed the use of ships, unmanned aerial systems (UAS), and ground stations. The group has studied a broad range of aerosol types ranging from remote marine aerosols in every ocean basin, black carbon (soot) in the Arctic, particulate matter in the oil and gas fields of Utah’s Uintah Basin to dust storms over Asia.

What to do with this activity? You might have heard of Montessori creches or playschools. Your child might even attend one. There are lots of them in Ireland and all over the world. The Montessori method is very child-centred and encourages freedom of choice within a safe, planned environment. It was invented by Maria Montessori, an Italian doctor and educator in around 1910. She valued the whole child and worked out ways to encourage not only language and maths skills, but also sensory, social and practical skills. Maria Montessori was way ahead of her time. The website The Montessori Notebook has lots of useful ideas and suggestions including this one on Montessori for babies. Why am I doing this? Sharing stories play an important role in a child’s development. They not only help children learn language and reading skills but they also have an emotional quality which can help children make sense of their feelings. Reading to babies and young children, and giving them time to respond, will help make the most of this opportunity. Recognising shapes will help your child to learn to read later on. How can I do more? The most important thing is that reading is fun and enjoyable for both of you – five minutes can be enough. Just turn off the TV and find a quiet place so there are no distractions. And remember stories are not just found in books, it’s just as good to tell your child short, simple stories you know. Remember, you’re not teaching your child to read. You learn to talk a long time before you learn to read, and sharing stories and giving your child time to respond is a wonderful way to help your child’s language development.

Hall of Hurt Description of Pedagogical Tool: Stereotypes and Racism are effects of socialization that continue to permeate society; it is impossible to be fully without stereotypes or racial tendencies, but it is possible to recognize our personal stereotypical thoughts and work to change them, and not act based on them. The goal of this project is to provide educators with the tools necessary to allow students to think critically about society, and recognize any negative aspects of socialization within themselves, and develop the critical thinking skills to change them.

Design for Dignity: The true extent of the homeless crisis isn’t visible on the streets. Here’s how architects are working to address it. Oculus, Winter 2019. A landmark class-action lawsuit on behalf of homeless men in New York City established the right to shelter in the city in 1981—soon expanded to women and families. At the time, the homeless crisis was a highly visible malaise, present everywhere on the streets, under bridges, in homeless encampments, in public parks. Since that lawsuit, resolved by what is known as the Callahan consent decree, the city has been court ordered to find beds for every person presenting themselves to a shelter facility. In the following decades, it spurred the creation of an extensive infrastructure of nearly 500 facilities for overnight and longer-term shelter, hidden throughout the corners of the five boroughs. The Department of Homeless Services now oversees a shelter system for more than 61,000 New York City residents currently in need of emergency housing every night. “If you look at the homeless population chart as a graph, you’ll observe that the spikes in population align with periods of prosperity in the city more broadly,” said David Piscuskis of 1100 Architects. “What happens in simple terms is that landlords can take a piece of housing stock and put it into the public realm—the more market-based realm—when times are good.”

Congratulations to Jill Olin and her postdoctoral fellow, Jim Junker, who recently published a paper titled “Can biodiversity of preexisting and created salt marshes match across scales? An assessment from microbes to predators” in the Ecosphere Journal. You can learn more about the research on the LSU website. Abstract: Coastal wetlands are rapidly disappearing worldwide due to a variety of processes, including climate change and flood control. The rate of loss in the Mississippi River Delta is among the highest in the world and billions of dollars have been allocated to build and restore coastal wetlands. A key question guiding assessment is whether created coastal salt marshes have similar biodiversity to preexisting, reference marshes. However, the numerous biodiversity metrics used to make these determinations are typically scale dependent and often conflicting. Here, we applied ecological theory to compare the diversity of different assemblages (surface and below-surface soil microbes, plants, macroinfauna, spiders, and on-marsh and off-marsh nekton) between two created marshes (4–6 years old) and four reference marshes. We also quantified the scale-dependent effects of species abundance distribution, aggregation, and density on richness differences and explored differences in species composition. Total, between-sample, and within-sample diversity (γ, β, and α, respectively) were not consistently lower at created marshes. Richness decomposition varied greatly among assemblages and marshes (e.g., soil microbes showed high equitability and α diversity, but plant diversity was restricted to a few dominant species with high aggregation). However, species abundance distribution, aggregation, and density patterns were not directly associated with differences between created and reference marshes. One exception was considerably lower density for macroinfauna at one of the created marshes, which was drier because of being at a higher elevation and having coarser substrate compared with the other marshes. The community compositions of created marshes were more dissimilar than reference marshes for microbe and macroinfauna assemblages. However, differences were small, particularly for microbes. Together, our results suggest generally similar taxonomic diversity and composition between created and reference marshes. This provides support for the creation of marsh habitat as tools for the maintenance and restoration of coastal biodiversity. However, caution is needed when creating marshes because specific building and restoration plans may lead to different colonization patterns.

More About Length: It is the greater measurement for all two dimensional figures (figures for which only length and breadth are given). Example: For every rectangle length is larger than the breadth. Length is the highest measurement for all three dimensional figures (Figures for which Length, Breadth, and Height are given). Example: For a cuboids� the length is the highest measurement. Generally length is measured in two types of different units. 1. Customary system 2. Metric system In metric system units for length are millimeters, centimeters, meters, Kilometers. 1 Kilometer = 1000 meters 1 Meter = 100 centimeters 1 centimeter = 10 millimeters. In customary system (Specially followed in America) units for length are Inch, foot, yard, and mile. 1 Yard = 3 feet 1 Foot = 12 inches How many centimeters are equal to 2 Km? C. 20 000 D. 20 0000 Correct answer is D Step 1: 1Km = 1000 meters. 2 Km = 1 x 1000 = 2000 meters Step 2: 1 meter = 100 centimeters 2000 meters = 2000 x 100 = 200 000 centimeters

Testosterone is a male sex hormone made in the testicles. Testosterone plays a key role in male sexual development, from puberty to fertility. Some men can experience low testosterone levels which can lead to a number of symptoms that may cause bother. Over time, testosterone hormones do generally decline with age. Other than age, testosterone levels can decline for a number of reasons. This can be due to a condition they are born with such as Kleinfelters or Noonans syndrome or it may develop over time due to certain conditions, such as diabetes, infections, pituitary disease, or HIV. Direct injury or surgery to the testicles can also result in low levels. It can also occur as a side effect of medication such as antidepressants, or chemotherapy. Smoking, alcohol, and being overweight have all been linked to lower testosterone levels too. Symptoms of low testosterone can really vary; they can be more specific to sexual development or more general symptoms. Specific symptoms can include reduced libido (sex drive), erectile dysfunction, loss of body hair, and leaner muscle mass. More general symptoms can include tiredness, depression, poor concentration, poor energy, and reduced performance at work. Your doctor will take a detailed history from you and ask you about any specific and general symptoms you may be experiencing. Providing you are comfortable, your doctor will often need to perform an intimate examination of your testicles. Your doctor may arrange for blood tests to measure your hormone and testosterone levels, and other blood tests that may be linked to the cause of your symptoms. Your doctor may refer you to a hormone specialist (endocrinologist) or a urologist for further management. Treatment very much depends on the cause identified. Addressing the underlying issue is an important way to improve testosterone levels. Your doctor may be able to refer you to a specialist who can consider testosterone therapy (by way of injections, patches, or gels). It is important to note that it can take a moderate amount of time (3-6 months) for you to notice an improvement in your symptoms. It is important that lifestyle changes are made to improve your fitness and maintain a healthy weight, as well as eating nutritious well-balanced meals. Avoiding smoking and reducing your alcohol intake is strongly recommended. Was this helpful? Was this helpful?

For the fertilization of the garden one can easily create organic fertilizers thanks to the reuse of household waste. No need to buy expensive materials from stores. Here are three free organic fertilizer solutions to save the planet. In stores, several professional growth fertilizer solutions are tested and adapted to the cultivation of cannabis, but to fertilize your vegetable garden exposed to the open air, why not use composting: fertilizer produces natural food scraps and organic waste. Many garden growers today grow their plants in a small living space and not everyone has space for a compost pile. A good alternative comes to you in an unexplored place in your home: the kitchen trash can. Here are three materials, straight out of the garbage, that will help you improve the quality of your land and grow strong, healthy plants. 1. Egg shells Gather your eggshell crumbs, rinse them thoroughly in hot water, let dry for a few days then mix them in the soil will improve the drainage capacity of the soil and secrete calcium which helps protect your plants mold during growth and flowering. 2. Ground coffee Ground coffee is an excellent and long-lasting source of nitrogen (N), which is one of the essential elements for plant health. The growers' recommendation is to mix the irrigation water: 2 cups of ground coffee in twenty liters of water and leave the mixture immersed overnight. Coffee can be added directly to the soil but it is important to be careful not to overdo the amount so as not to alter the pH level of the soil, which could damage the plants and lead to death. Be careful not to use instant coffee. 3. Banana skins Banana peels are considered to be particularly rich in nutrients, especially calcium, magnesium, sulfur, phosphate, potassium, and sodium. Banana peels should be added directly to the soil, but it is important to cut them into small pieces as much as possible to speed up the dissolution and excretion of nutrients in the soil. For those in charge of French agronomic research, these agro-ecological practices promote new agricultural techniques and greatly reduce greenhouse gas emissions.

America’s first Olympics may have been its worst, or at least its most bizarre. Held in 1904 in St. Louis, the games were tied to that year’s World’s Fair, which celebrated the centennial of the Louisiana Purchase while advancing, as did all such turn-of-the-century expositions, the notion of American imperialism. Although there were moments of surprising and genuine triumph (gymnast George Eyser earned six medals, including three gold, despite his wooden leg), the games were largely overshadowed by the fair, which offered its own roster of sporting events, including the controversial Anthropology Days, in which a group of “savages” recruited from the fair’s international villages competed in a variety of athletic feats—among them a greased-pole climb, “ethnic” dancing, and mud slinging—for the amusement of Caucasian spectators. Pierre de Coubertin, a French historian and founder of the International Olympic Committee, took disapproving note of the spectacle and made a prescient observation: “As for that outrageous charade, it will of course lose its appeal when black men, red men and yellow men learn to run, jump and throw, and leave the white men behind them.” The Olympics’ signal event, the marathon, was conceived to honor the classical heritage of Greece and underscore the connection between the ancient and modern. But from the start the 1904 marathon was less showstopper than sideshow, a freakish spectacle that seemed more in keeping with the carnival atmosphere of the fair than the reverential mood of the games. The outcome was so scandalous that the event was nearly abolished for good.

If you are swimming in the ocean and are caught in a rip current, the first thing you should do is REMAIN CALM. You will know you are in a rip current because it will pull you further from the shore out into the ocean. Swim parallel to the shore until you are out of the pull of the rip tide, then head in towards the shore. Keep aloe vera gel on hand to treat sunburns. This gel will have an immediate cooling affect and also promote faster healing. Another good solution is to mix vinegar with water to relieve the pain and itching from sunburn. White vinegar is also good for treating Jellyfish stings; fill a small spray bottle with vinegar and pack it in your beach bag for emergencies. In the event of severe swelling, seek medical attention. It is also a good idea to pack a small first aid kit with anti-bacterial cream and bandaids. You need to apply sunscreen early and throughout your day on the beach. This applies to children as well as adults and remember that children’s skin is especially sensitive to the sun’s rays. Use a strong sunscreen with at least an SPF 30 or higher. Early morning and late afternoon are the best times to take children into the sun. Remember to stay hydrated too, while enjoying your day on the beach. Drink plenty of water as exposure to the sun and salty water can drain a lot of fluid from your body. Some of the general symptoms of dehydration are dizziness, nausea and very dry mouth and lips.
