NATIONAL AIR AND SPACE MUSEUM Geologic Maps: Where Science Meets Art Geologic maps are used to locate natural resources, such as water or oil, or the best place to hunt for fossils, but they can also be eye catching works of art. Geologic maps aren’t ordinary maps, they are useful tools that illustrate the rocks beneath your feet! These maps use bright colors to differentiate between the types and ages of rocks. Together with structural features such as folds, faults (where rocks are compressed or pushed together), and troughs (that occur when rocks are pulled apart or extended), these maps provide insight into the geologic history of the study area. Geologists use geologic maps to locate natural resources, such as water or oil, or the best place to hunt for fossils, but they can also be eye catching works of art. Just like on Earth, geologic maps are useful scientific tools in the planetary geology community as well. Several such maps have been created at varying scales on rocky bodies in our solar system including Mercury, Venus, Mars, the Moon, and asteroids such as Vesta. As a geologist at the Air and Space Museum’s Center for Earth and Planetary Studies, I create standardized geologic maps on Mars that are published by the U.S. Geological Survey. In celebration of Geologic Map Day, I’m excited to give you a sneak peek of a map that is currently being published. This geologic map in Margaritifer Terra captures the end of a very long valley system. On Early Mars, water flowed through Morava Valles (green units) and ponded in a low-lying topographic depression known as Margaritifer basin (broadly outlined by the light and dark purple units). The surface later collapsed (pink and red units) when ground ice below melted, and there is evidence of young volcanic activity (orange unit). This geologic map clarifies the timing, relative contributions, and the fate of water that filled Margaritifer basin. Additionally, it helps scientists unravel the broader implications for the timing and sources of water on Mars at a global scale. The map covers approximately 75 miles of the study area.

The employment of the radar technology was progressed at some point to hack the brain, more than manipulation. The brainwave is controlled by the ultra-long wave irradiated wirelessly, but the radar is featured with a short wave. It is not used for the brain control, but for hacking the subject’s thinking. The radar is a straighter wave, which is beamed to the object and reflected back to the sending point, which provides the location and shape of the object. If this is sonar, the sound is sent and also reflected back to locate the object, basically in the same structure. If this reflection is not straight back or the majority is bounced to other directions, the object is hard to be recognized, which is one of the main features of the stealth. If this radar is irradiated to the subject, the reflection tells where the subject is, while this reflected wave is slightly modified by the electromagnetic wave which the subject’s brain and body generates. The brainwave can be extracted from this reflected wave when separating from the original radar frequency with some adjustments. This process is executed physically, not necessarily digitally. This is the current way to snoop the brain wirelessly. It is impossible to read the brainwave wirelessly just by the antenna. The wave itself is irradiated toward outside the brain, but it is too weak to be read remotely. When the transmitter is buried into the human brain, it can be read just by the antenna, though it requires a sufficient power, which is basically the same phenomena that the mobile phone requires a huge battery. That means it is practically impossible to put the transmitter into the body for sending the brainwave to the receiver. The radar is capable of reading the brainwave after the adjustment, though there is a limitation. It is necessary that the subject should be located at the specific area, as the radar is a straighter wave to cover a short range of the area. It means the brainwave can be cracked at home, but impossible at work.

Add topsoil (alongside planting/seeding) Overall effectiveness category Unknown effectiveness (limited evidence) Number of studies: 1 View assessment score Hide assessment score How is the evidence assessed? Background information and definitions Adding topsoil from shrublands to degraded shrubland sites may help to increase the number of seeds in the soil, thereby increasing the probability of shrubland plants becoming established. The addition of topsoil may also help to increase soil fertility or reduce the effects of processes that dramatically alter soil structure, such as mining or quarrying. Combined with planting or seeding addition of topsoil may help to increase germination and survival of shrubland plants. Supporting evidence from individual studies A randomized, replicated, paired, controlled study in 1997–2000 in a former coal mine in Wyoming, USA (1) found that addition of topsoil alongside sowing of seed increased the biomass of grasses but reduced the biomass of forbs in comparison to addition of topsoil alone. Areas where topsoil was added and seed sown had higher grass biomass (51-93 g/m2) than areas where topsoil alone was added (14 g/m2). However, in areas where topsoil was added and seed sown, forb biomass was lower (12-37 g/m2) than in areas where topsoil was added alone (76 g/m2). Topsoil was spread to a depth of 56 cm over the entire site in December 1997. In spring 1998 the entire site was seeded with barley Hordeum vulgare which was later cut to provide a mulch. In December 1998 grass seed was sown in twenty 6.5 x 27 m plots, while in four plots no seed was sown. Wyoming big sagebrush Artemisia tridentata wyomingensis seeds were also sown in all plots. In July 2000 clippings of vegetation were taken in four 0.18 m2 quadrats within each plot to determine biomass.Study and other actions tested Where has this evidence come from?

Brain Architecture Game Understand on a deeper level why investing in youth care and services is critical to the health of our city Did you know 90% of your brain’s development occurs before age five? Our experiences in those early years, good and bad, supportive or traumatic, drastically impact every aspect of our lives as we grow older, from personal interactions to professional aspirations. The Brain Architecture Game is a virtual or in-person guided group activity that puts you inside the mind of a child to see how their brains are affected by these positive and negative life experiences. Children can’t control what happens to them in life—but early interventions by caregivers and communities can help kids develop positive coping skills to buffer the effects of negative experiences. The Brain Architecture Game will help you understand on a deeper level how donating to United Way Winnipeg can transform the lives of children who began their journey in adversity. How to make it happen Date and time: Choose a date and time that is convenient for your group, and we will do our best to accommodate it. Please note we require two weeks’ notice. The game takes approximately 2.5 hours to complete. The game can accommodate 8—80 participants. We will provide a facilitator. This experience is offered virtually and in person. $250 covers the cost of our facilitator and materials. If cost is a barrier, let us know and we will find a solution. Let’s get started! Reach out today to learn more about participating in a Brain Architecture Game or to choose a booking date.

7:30 a.m. - 6:00 p.m. Monday to Friday 10025 Boul. Acadie H4N 2S1 Canada Maria Montessori was an Italian physician, educator, and innovator, acclaimed for her educational method that builds on the way children naturally learn. She opened the first Montessori school—the Casa dei Bambini, or Children’s House—in Rome on January 6, 1907. Subsequently, she traveled the world and wrote extensively about her approach to education, attracting many devotees. There are now more than 22,000 Montessori schools in at least 110 countries worldwide. The education and philosophy of Maria Montessori is known all over the world for its highly efficient and organized classes that are different than those in other traditional educational settings. The educational philosophy is centered on the idea of respect for the child. Children have the ability to pick up knowledge effortlessly, spontaneously and happily. The Montessori system encourages each child to develop into an independent, autonomous individual who is confidant and ready to succeed. Maria Montessori designed learning materials that are hands on and lead the child towards the ability to work in abstractions in numbers, letters and ideas. As the child grows, these materials are no longer relied upon and the child is able to understand abstractions thoroughly. The teacher serves as an enthusiastic guide in the child’s progress from simple to complex concepts and ideas. The teachers provide a learning experience for the child by preparing an environment that the child is eager to discover.

Mental Health Literacy for Youth Program What is the Mental Health Literacy for Youth Program? This is an educational program tailored to high school students. Half-day workshops are delivered to provide youth an opportunity to connect with CAN-BIND researchers and to gain exposure to cutting-edge research studies. The workshops provide youth with the chance not only to learn about scientific research and methods, but to understand depression and how it can affect anyone. While mental health awareness has increased in recent years across Canada, a silencing stigma around depression is still common in educational institutions and workplaces. One of the aims of the workshops is to encourage youth to be knowledgeable and comfortable discussing mental health and to be able to recognize the signs and symptoms of depression. Now in its fifth year, the workshop includes interactive presentations and activities on: - Facts, prevalence, symptoms, and treatment of depression - How to conduct research (methods and process) - Understanding the anatomy and function of the brain and how it relates to depression - Understanding biological rhythms, how to monitor and assess biological rhythms with mobile health technologies, and how they relate to depression Who leads this initiative? Dr. Benicio Frey and his team at St. Joseph’s Healthcare Hamilton developed this program. His team is working with the CAN-BIND Knowledge Translation team, led by Dr. Sagar Parikh, to bring the program to other Canadian cities. What are the main goals of this initiative? Increase mental health literacy - A central aim of this initiative is to increase mental health literacy in youth. Presentations are designed to increase knowledge and awareness about mental health and depression, and to dispel myths that may prevent youth from seeking help. Engage youth in science and research - The research process, emerging and ‘hot’ topics in mental health research, and career paths in research are discussed during the workshops to inspire students to pursue studies in science. Students are encouraged to interact with faculty and graduate students at the events.

Sand mill is currently the most widely adaptable, most advanced, and most efficient grinding equipment. The grinding cavity is the narrowest, the gap between the levers is the smallest, and the grinding energy is the most intensive. With the high-performance cooling system and automatic control system, it can achieve continuous material Continuous processing and discharging greatly improve production efficiency. According to the structure and shape of the mixing shaft, the sand mill can be divided into disc type, rod pin type, and rod disc type; according to the layout of the grinding cylinder, it can be divided into vertical type and horizontal type; according to the volume of the cylinder, it can be divided into laboratory and small , Medium, large, super large (or 0.5l, 1.5L/100L, etc. according to the volume); According to the medium separation method, it can be divided into static and dynamic separation sand mills; The design and manufacture of sand mills in my country originated in the 1960s, and now most of the market is horizontal sand mills. The sand mill in the world originated from the ball mill. The sand mill is an improved version of the ball mill. The material to be ground is finer and the particle size distribution is more uniform. The basic structure of the sand mill includes: the grinding cylinder, rotating shaft, agitator, etc. When working, the grinding cylinder is filled with a certain amount of grinding media and then sent into the cylinder for grinding according to the flow rate specified by the production process.

Environmental Law– Principles and Policies in India Environment policies of the Government of India includes legislations related to environment. In the Directive Principles of State Policy, Article 48(a) says “the state shall endeavor to protect and improve the environment and to safeguard the forests and wildlife of the country”; Article 51-A states that “it shall be the duty of every citizen of India to protect and improve the natural environment including forests, lakes, rivers, and wildlife and to have compassion for living creatures.” India is one of the parties of the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD) treaty. Prior to the CBD, India had different laws to govern the environment. The Indian Wildlife Protection Act 1972 protected biodiversity. It was amended later multiple times. The 1988 National Forest Policy had conservation as its fundamental principle. In addition to these acts, the government passed the Environment (Protection) Act 1986 and Foreign Trade (Development and Regulation) Act 1992 for control of biodiversity. Notably, the government has passed various legislations to curb the damage caused to the environment such as the Environmental Protection Act, 1986, Forest Conservation Act, 1980, Water Prevention and Control of Pollution Act, 1974, Biological Diversity Act, 2002, Public Liability Insurance Act 1889 and National Green Tribunal Act, 2010. According to Article 48 (A) of the Indian Constitution, the state shall try to protect and improve the environment. It should also endeavor to safeguard forests and wildlife of the country. According to Article 51(A) (g) of the Indian Constitution, every citizen of India has a fundamental duty to protect and improve the natural environment including forest, lakes, rivers, and wildlife and should have compassion for living creatures.

Last Friday, a team led by scientists from the Max Planck Institute for Medical Research, Germany, published in Science Progress a study of possible new techniques of ophthalmological clinical intervention. For the dissemination in a didactic manner, on Wednesday a video explaining what was examined in the form of a graphic, which was published in the journal Science, was released. This study reflects research work made from revolutionary nanobots, made with 3D printers, with the aim of improving the treatment of eye diseases. It states that in the future, which currently looks far, the word robot can be used to transport and manage drugs in the human eye and thus prevent disease. The & # 39; micropopulders & # 39; is 200 times smaller than the width of a human hair and has a spiral tail that facilitates travel through vitreous jelly. After testing them in quantities of up to 10,000 in the eyes taken from pigs, the researchers said they could more effective and faster from eye drops or injections. Investigation revealed that they passed the pig's eye 10 times faster what particles are of the same size. Modeled as tadpoles, they have slippery layer to be able to move without damaging the eyeball. They will introduce drugs and can be used to treat glaucoma or diabetic retinopathy. At present, intravitreal injections or eye drops are the most common technique. While they are effective, they need a lot of time for drugs to reach the focus of the problem. The fastest projection One of the most common diseases that require injection into the eye is age-related macular degeneration, which is caused by diabetes, which blocks blood vessels or determines their abnormal increase.

Aeration ponds, Boat Harbour effluent treatment ponds, Abercrombie Point, Nova Scotia (1990s). Source: Verne Equinox In Canada, some political commentators and Canadian politicians have questioned and even denied that Canada has a history of systemic racism. To most Canadian historians, however, systemic racism is an obvious and pernicious part of the history of this country. This is evident in the legacies of environmental racism in Canada. Environmental racism is a concept and field of study that examines the ways in which racism influences inequitable exposures to environmental hazards and access to natural resources. Across the country, Black people, Indigenous people, and other people of colour are disproportionately exposed to toxic hazards and have limited access to environmental services and amenities like parks and clean drinking water. In Canadian history, environmental racism is mediated through the structures of settler colonialism upon which the country was founded. The field of environmental racism emerged in the 1980s in the US out of the scholarship on environmental justice and the work of the Commission for Racial Justice. The Commission’s report “Toxic Waste and Race in the United States” was one of the earliest studies to outline the concept of environmental racism. This chapter features a podcast interview with Ingrid Waldron, a scholar of the history of environmental racism in Nova Scotia. It also features a 1991 documentary on the history of Africville, an Afro-Nova Scotian community that was destroyed and displaced by an urban renewal project in the 1960s. - Kheraj, Sean. “Episode 69: Environmental Racism and Canadian History” Nature’s Past: Canadian Environmental History Podcast. 29 July 2020. - National Film Board of Canada. “Remember Africville” Directed by Shelagh Mackenzie, 1991.

How Can Data Help Build Confidence in Vaccines? Let us Count The Ways! Despite their best efforts, companies that have dedicated their research to improving the lives of Joe Public have appeared to fall behind. This is primarily due to the sudden onset of the COVID-19 pandemic and the companies’ non-readiness for such a disaster. However, a company in the United States used it to their advantage, and in a matter of hours, they changed their packaging to a more sanitary-friendly approach, and their sales went through the roof! The Power of Social Media Strikes Again! Again, the power of social media came into play with people taking to Google and other platforms to search for available data, providing a rich, in-depth analysis of the SEO keywords most used and who needed to be targeted where. This was based on a partnership between the World Economic Forum and the Vaccine Confidence Project in London at the School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine. They aimed to gain an in-depth insight into the challenges faced in vaccine acceptance, the resistance against trust, and how these issues can be mitigated. The studies concluded a five-point strategy to be followed: 5 Tips on Building Trust in Vaccines - First and foremost, the keyword protection needs to accompany the intent when communicating this to the public. It holds a tremendous amount of power that can be deployed in strategies. - Do not make consumers feel obliged to take the vaccines–this does not sit well with the public and creates hesitancy and panic. - Use everyday case studies of ordinary people, using simple wording and how they’ve benefitted from the vaccine. This way, it is more relatable and will appeal to the target audience. - Do the required research on anti-vaxers and why they are hesitant, and address those concerns as soon as possible! - Focus on getting the message across in a manner that everyone can understand: Vaccines will bring about herd immunity and prevent death and illness of COVID-19 Perhaps other companies can follow suit soon and collaborate with their public sectors to enhance their understanding of consumer needs that the public can benefit from somehow.

Drukpa Tshe-zi is an auspicious occasion for all Buddhists around the world. Being one of the most important Buddhist events, the government of Sikkim celebrates the day by observing a bank holiday. Drukpa Tshe-zi falls on the fourth day, called Tshe-zi, of the sixth month, called Drukpa, of the Tibetan lunar calendar and hence the name, Drukpa Tshe-zi. The occasion is significant for Buddhists as it is the day when Lord Buddha delivered his first sermon on the Four Noble Truths at the Deer Park in Sarnath, about 2,500 years ago. After attaining enlightenment, the Buddha preached to his first five disciples – Anjanata Kaudinya, Ashwajit, Waspa, Pradraika and Mahanama. As the story goes, the Buddha, after enlightenment, set out to teach for the first time. A thousand thrones appeared before him. After circumambulating the first three thrones, Lord Buddha sat on the fourth throne in cross-legged posture. Thousands of devotees appeared where Buddha sat to listen to his preaching. On the morning of Drukpa Tshe-zi, the Buddha did not speak at all. He remained silent which gave the devotees time to clear their minds. During the afternoon the Buddha spoke and discussed various topics. This is when he spoke of the Four Noble Truths, which contain the essence of the Buddha’s teachings. - First was the truth about the cause of suffering known as suffering. - The second was Truth Of The Origin Of Suffering called Samudaya. - Then came the third truth which was the truth of cessation of suffering called Nirudha. - And the fourth truth was Truth Of The Path which ended the suffering called Marga. This led to Marga Nirvana. The Four Truths indicate the journey that humans go through before reaching Nirvana, which is a combination of inner peace, joy and compassion. To celebrate this day, the Sikkim government declared it as a bank holiday in the state. On this day, prayers and religious ceremonies are held in monasteries across the state.

In a bid to put TB infection to an end, WHO has called for global solidarity and action. On May 19, 2014, the 67th World Health Assembly (WHA) adopted WHO's "Global strategy and targets for tuberculosis prevention, care and control after 2015". This post-2015 global tuberculosis strategy, labeled the End TB Strategy, was shaped during the past two years. A wide range of stakeholders-from ministries of health and national tuberculosis programmes to technical and scientific institutions, financial and development partners, civil society and health activists, non-governmental organizations, and the private sector-contributed to its development. The strategy has a vision of making the world free of tuberculosis, with zero deaths, disease, and suffering due to the disease. In this viewpoint, Dr. Mukund Uplekar from the WHO, and colleagues, outline how achievements in TB control over the past two decades can provide the basis for further progress, and how ending the tuberculosis epidemic is an important health and development goal, achievable in the foreseeable future. This goal can be realised over the next two decades, the authors assert, through optimizing implementation of current tools and approaches, addressing social determinants of TB through universal health coverage and social protection, and investing in research and development adequately to secure and employ new tools of elimination. Latest Respiratory Disease News According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), there was a notable increase in infections caused by human metapneumovirus (HMPV), an emerging threat. The new cell culture technology platform allows researchers to react to the next pandemic with much more speed and precision. A new artificial intelligence-enabled chest imaging technology performs a deep characterization of the pulmonary vasculature to detect pulmonary (arterial) hypertension. The global climate crisis is stimulating heat waves to become more frequent causing distress to people with asthma, say experts. A new study reveals vitamin D3 supplements have encouraging effects for asthma patients. Vitamin D has a positive effect on immune response.

A strong immune system is vital, not only during this unique time in history due to the threat of coronavirus, but all the time. Even after this crisis passes, there will always be viruses out there that a healthy immune system has a better chance of fighting off. Here are five ways to supercharge your immune system. You may need to carry some gum or use mouthwash a bit more often, but garlic is a proven immune booster. Heat, however, takes away some of those benefits, so add it just before serving if you’re cooking with it, or it can be added cold to a salad dressing. Our bodies do not function properly if they cannot be adequately recharged in the form of a good night’s sleep. Sleep deprivation not only hurts your immune system, but it makes the body take longer to recover from viruses once you catch one. Regular exercise (even if it’s just a low-intensity activity like walking for 30 minutes) allows white blood cells to circulate more rapidly in the body. This gives your immune system a better chance of detecting and fighting bugs quickly. Another benefit of regular exercise is that it helps your sleep better. Soak Up the Sun The sun’s rays not only provide a natural source of vitamin D, but this study found that exposure to sunlight energizes T-cells in the body that help our immune system. A glass or two is okay, but heavy drinking (especially over time) will do a number on your immune system and even leave you prone to lung infections.

If you enjoy having a nice green lawn but worry it doesn’t lend itself to a green lifestyle, have no fear. You don’t have to sacrifice an attractive yard to help the environment. Leave the Leaves Instead of raking them, mulch them by mowing over them. Not only does this save on removal costs and unsightly decomposing piles, but it also ensures the nutrients in those leaves return to the ground and the trees that made them. Say No To Pesticides When you use pesticides you’re not just getting rid of aphids and invasive beetles, you’re harming local pollinators. Mixing 4 cups of water with 1 tablespoon of dish soap and then spraying the mixture directly on the problem pests will eradicate them while leaving the helpful fauna unpoisoned. Weed Out Weed Spray If you have something like a prickly thistle menacing the bare feet of you and your family, try removing it by hand. But being at peace with indigenous plant life and letting things like dandelions take root will help your local pollinators such as butterflies, moths and bees. If you want to give them an extra boost, try planting a bed of meadow flowers and grasses indigenous to your area. If you’ve had construction recently with a lot of heavy machinery or people walking through, the ground is probably hard and compact and stressing out your lawn. Before breaking out the chemical-laden fertilizer and non-indigenous seeds, you should try aeration Fairfax Station VA as it may be the only boost your grass needs. Speaking of fertilizer… It may be marketed as plant food, and therefore more might seem merrier, but overdoing it can have disastrous effects. Too much fertilizer not only harms your lawn by depleting oxygen in the soil but can contaminate groundwater. It can also be toxic to people and pets walking on your lawn as well as local flora. Even just one of these steps will give a boost to your local ecosystem—not to mention save you time and money.

The idea that sedimentary basins can be compressed and uplifted – inverted – was born as early as the 1920s. However, the interest in inversion tectonics peaked in the late 1980s as documented, for instance, by a 1987 Tectonophysics special issue and a 1989 Geol. Soc. London book that soon became classics. Today few people will consider inversion tectonics a topic at the forefront of geoscience. This is not to say that nothing new can be learned about this phenomenon. Even the enormous variety of associated structures has probably not been exhaustively described and understood. The kinematics of inversion structures is particularly complex, and their mechanics a matter of debate. For instance, modelling studies have been used to suggest that reverse reactivation of normal faults can only occur in transpression, whereas studies from geologically recent cases with well-constrained stress fields do not necessarily support this observation. Inversion tectonics can coexist with or be superimposed on long-wavelength uplift that may or may not reflect a different set of processes altogether. We invite contributions dealing with all aspects of inversion tectonics from architecture over kinematics to dynamics and from field- or seismics-based case studies to analogue and numerical simulations, including also response of depositional systems to active inversion tectonics. New hypotheses challenging common wisdom are especially welcome.

- Basic XOR - About the Key Space - Common Secret Key Algorithms - Security Services of Secret Key Encryption - Secret Key Cryptography and Nonrepudiation - Origin Authenticity - Data Integrity Security Services of Secret Key Encryption Secret key encryption can be used to achieve data confidentiality, data integrity, and origin authenticity. Using a secret key algorithm to encipher a data content allows entities with the right secret key only to decrypt and retrieve the original form of the disguised data. Reliability of the confidentiality service afforded by secret key cryptography depends upon the strength of the encryption algorithm, and, more importantly, is dependent upon the length of the key used. Recall that the key length directly affects the size of the corresponding key space. A longer lifetime of a secret key also may contribute to diminishing the assurance in its use for a confidentiality service. The longer a key is used the more likely an exhaustive key search attack will succeed. Most modern security protocols make use of secret keys that remain valid for the lifetime of a particular communications session only. A confidentiality service enabled through a computationally secure cryptographic algorithm allows users to transmit private information over open networks. Similarly such information can be stored in accessible media without concerned for compromise. Computationally the cost of data confidentiality depends upon the encryption algorithm used and is evidently proportionate to the size of data to be enciphered.

As the world is transitioning to green manufacturing and facing campaigns on climate change, countries are pushing harder to meet the demands to build a green environment while limiting carbon production. This initiative does not come at a cheap price. This dramatic shift leads to greenflation – the rise of price materials to create renewable technologies. What is greenflation? Greenflation is the unintended by product of the creation process ofe a greener economy. This includes the rise of minerals and metal prices, such as copper and aluminum, which are essential parts of solar power, electric cars, and other forms of renewable technologies. What are the impacts of greenflation on manufacturing? - Increasing prices The result of green manufacturing is the rise of sustained prices across the global supply chain. From raw materials to green technologies – these are the driving forces of price increases as a part of the effort to cut down carbon emissions. - Commodities boom in minerals Most green manufacturing technologies need an incredible amount of minerals and metals. Electric vehicle, for instance, uses six times more minerals than traditional cars. Wind turbines and solar power – all of these green technologies need a high concentration of minerals such as aluminum, copper, and lithium. The increasing demand for these materials is part of the greenflation. - More fossil fuels consumption During the transition period, more oil consumption is inevitable. However, the regulations have not yet been settled for fossil fuels. The increase in oil price is not aligned with the investments in hydrocarbon. - More challenges for businesses The government policy towards sustainable production could be challenging for businesses to balance all of the considerations such as labor, public finances, technologies, and equity. These are part of the main constraints which could lead to more difficulties in balancing society, employers, customers, and many others. There are consequences to building a greener environment. Government and its effort to build a green economy need to consider balancing the policies in the old and new economy while making the transition. How does Indonesia face the greenflation challenge? The country’s major concerns about the unintended result in natural resource consumption, and rapid growth in the economy, have led to the effort of utilizing science and technology to create a sustainable environment. Indonesia’s government has so far taken the integrated approach to achieve sustainable development by taking a pivotal role in creating policies that can fund opportunities for green business investors, while ensuring the implementation of green growth activities.

Literature in Context: An Open Anthology of Literature, 1660-1830, is a web-accessible and mobile-friendly digital anthology of curated, contextualized, machine-readable literature in English designed for use by students, teachers, and the general public. Because we anticipate these pieces being used in the classroom, it is essential that the material be authoritative, citable, and printable--therefore, users can create custom coursepacks that live both online and in print. At once an Open Educational Resource and a digital humanities project that seeks to bring to life the literature of the long eighteenth century, Literature in Context also provides resources to help instructors at the college level engage students in the task of editing and annotating literary texts that can be added to the collection. By including students in the production of the anthology, the project will foreground how the public construction of knowledge is essential to understanding the modern world. Sponsored by funding from the National Endowment for the Humanities, and led by teams of scholars, students, and librarians at Marymount University and the University of Virginia, our goal is a platform for establishing authoritative, contextualized works that teachers and students can use with confidence. In this way, we hope to provide a tool for the thoughtful, collaborative editing and dissemination of our shared humanistic heritage. Featured WorkThe Rover, or, The Banished Cavaliers by Behn, AphraSource: The Rover: or, the Banish't Cavaliers (London: Printed for John Amery, 1677) As a born-digital platform crafted with the needs of the classroom in mind, Literature in Context offers teachers the ability to create custom mini-anthologies or coursepacks with ease. They can be housed online for persistent digital access, but also formatted for printing and simplicity of citation. In later build-outs, Literature in Context will enable multiple skins that enable a variety of reading experiences, and we also plan to incorporate annotation tools like hypothes.is to make collaborative reading possible. Want to collaborate? We are interested in collaborators at colleges and universities across the globe. If you're interested, please get in touch! On twitter, we're LIC_anthology, and on github we're LiteratureInContext. Send us an email at LIC.open.anthology at gmail.com.

Sarcoidosis is an inflammatory disease that can affect many of the body’s organs including the lungs and lymph nodes. Learn more about sarcoidosis including its symptoms and treatments A granuloma is a tiny cluster of white blood cells and other tissue, and is found in the lungs, head, skin or elsewhere. Granulomas are not cancerous; they form as a reaction to, for example, infections or foreign objects. Pneumothorax (known as collapsed lung) is a reasonably common condition that occurs when air leaks into the space between the lung and chest wall. Pulmonary fibrosis is a lung disease where the tissue around the air sacs in the lungs becomes damaged, thickened and scarred. The condition leads to problems with breathing. Find out more. Erythema nodosum is a skin condition consisting of a lumpy, red rash, usually on the lower legs, that can be painful. Learn more here. Transverse myelitis is an uncommon inflammatory disease of the spinal cord. It can cause neurological (nerve), bladder and bowel problems.

Figma is a design and prototyping tool that has been embraced by developers and designers alike. It allows for easy collaboration, quick changes, and easy integration with other services. But one of the best features of Figma is its ability to break down designs into individual components. Components are like building blocks that can be reused throughout the design process. This makes it incredibly easy to build complex designs quickly, without having to recreate individual parts from scratch. However, there may be times when you need to make a component not a component in Figma. The first step is to select the component you want to make not a component. This can be done by either clicking on the component or by selecting it in the layers panel. Once you have selected it, right click on it and select “Make Not A Component” from the menu that appears. This will turn your component into a single object that can no longer be used as a reusable building block. When you need to make changes to this object, you can still do so normally as if it were any other object on the canvas. You will also notice that any changes you make to the object will no longer affect any other instances of this component which may exist on other pages or frames in your project. Figma also allows you to make components not components even if they are part of a master component or library symbol. To do this, simply select the master component or library symbol and then right click on it and select “Make Not A Component” from the menu that appears. This will turn all of the elements inside of your master component or library symbol into single objects that cannot be reused as components anymore. Making individual objects not components in Figma is an incredibly useful feature that allows designers more control over their designs without having to worry about breaking down complex designs into individual parts every time they need to update them. With just a few clicks, designers can quickly get back in control of their design process without having to start from scratch again. Making components not components in Figma is a simple task that can save time and effort when creating complex designs with numerous elements. All it takes is selecting an object or master component, right clicking on it, and selecting “Make Not A Component” from the menu that appears. Doing so will turn all elements inside of your master component or library symbol into single objects that cannot be reused as components anymore.

As an English as a Second Language teacher at Chicago’s Sullivan High School, Naomi Nakayama works with many refugee students who have come to the United States after years of disjointed or unavailable education. Refugee students take on the challenge of learning English while acquiring academic skills that many of their peers had the opportunity to master years before; often, refugee students also face unique social and psychological adjustments. Nakayama led “Dos and Don’ts with Refugee Students,” a roundtable discussion at CES’s 2002 Fall Forum and shared this summary of strategies and suggestions: - Have high standards - Be flexible - Ask student questions about past, home countries, etc. - Research student’s homeland (politics, educational system, language, etc.) - Incorporate student’s experiences - Share information pertinent to student’s progress with colleagues - Read picture books to class - Use a variety of group configurations and seating patterns to encourage conversation - Assume literacy in the student’s native language - Assume student is monolingual - Assume students from the same country will automatically befriend each other - Assume all school-related roles are the same across cultures; expectations of teachers and students can vary widely from place to place - Assume students will quickly share personal stories into lessons The Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees’ website provides extensive background data and status updates for refugees worldwide, along with educational resources and news. The Cultural Orientation Resource Center www.cal.org/corc The Cultural Orientation Resource Center (CORC), funded by the U.S. Department of State, Bureau of Population, Refugees, and Migration, focuses on refugee populations within the United States. The CORC website provides information about housing, community services, transportation, health, employment, and cultural adjustment in several Asian, European, African, and Middle Eastern languages along with guides for educators and others working with refugee populations.

Significance of Structural Engineering and Prefabricated Structures Structural Engineering and Pre-Fabricated Structures are mainly used in office blocks, warehouses, and factory buildings. Structural Engineering is a branch of Civil Engineering, that deals with the bones and muscles of a building structure. A structural engineer can design the shape of a man-made design by means of its bones. Pre-Fabrication is the practice of manufacturing the components of a structure in a factory or manufacturing site, which transports the assemblies together to a site where the structure needs to be located. Pre-Fabricated structures are called sub-assemblies. Let’s Talk About Structural Engineering Structural Engineers need to understand the strength, stability, rigidity, and earthquake survival capacity of a building structure. Structural Engineering mainly focused on the framework of structures and designs those structures to withstand the pressure and stresses of the environment remain safe, stable, secure. Structural Engineering one of the oldest engineering divisions. People shed the leaves of tree branches and create a hut is the first structural engineering. Later they began to create complex structures with sophisticated and technologically advanced elements to create these structures. The transformation of men from tree hut to huge multi stored building. As well as the growth of structural Engineering. Structural Engineering and Pre-Fabricated Structures As the day passes and the new trend began to rule the structural engineering industry. Prefabricated structures are the key point in today’s structural designs. In the fast-moving world, everyone looks for much faster and reliable services. That the real function of Pre-fabricated structures. Really a fast construction mechanism. The pre-fabricated structures are manufactured somewhere in the warehouse, later assembled together to become the framework of a building structure. In structural engineering, the need for prefabricated structures is meet by a PEB manufacturer. They manufacture these structures at the commercial level and supply all around. It is one of the best-suited inventories for structural engineering and satisfying the aesthetic structural design concepts. Basically, there are four types of structures. Frames, made of separate members, basically thin components. Shell, an enclosed object, it has contents. Solid or mass made entirely of matter. And finally, liquid or fluid that is the braking fluid that making the breaks.

The Convent Museum (Museo del Monasterio de las Conceptas) has a very non-descriptive entrance. Once you go through the doors, the size of the monastery is incredible, taking up almost an entire city block. The museum, founded in 1599, will enlighten you to the life and customs of the nuns in a monastery. They have life-size dioramas that show the daily life of the sisters. Almost, all of the rooms are set up as to their use back in the day. Hence, the collection of religious artifacts and art is fascinating. Many of the girls entered the convent at a very young age. Therefore, the girls as young as twelve brought their favorite toys with them. The signage that explains each room and artifacts is also in English, so it makes it easy to learn about the lives of the nuns. Not all parts of the convent are accessible. The convent is part of living history here in Cuenca as it is still in use as a convent. Today there are still cloistered nuns living in secluded places in the convent. Whereas the nuns only emerge to clean the museum after it has closed for the day. The sisters do make an ancient herbal drink called “agua de pitimas.” They sell this drink from a street side rotating wood window where long lines will form. Informational signs in Spanish, English, and French direct you through dozens of rooms surrounding an open courtyard of the large convent building. Upstairs there is quite a display of religious art created by indigenous artisans who were trained by the Spanish in the 16th century. The entrance fee was $2.50, and the museum entrance is on Hermano Miguel between Juan Jaramillo and Presidente Cordova. A little-known gem in the downtown area of Cuenca. Another great place to visit the New Cathedral. 4 thoughts on “Convent Museum, Life in a Monastery, Cuenca Ecuador” Awesome! Its genuinely amazing article. Thanks Magaret. Glad you liked it.

How To Roast Walnuts - And What Makes Them Such a Healthy Snack! by Denise Austin || I love to eat nuts, whether as a snack, scattered on top of a salad, tossed into some yogurt or oatmeal, or even as a coating for chicken and fish. And one of my FAVORITE nuts are walnuts - so let me show you how to roast walnuts!Walnuts are so good for you - they provide fiber, healthy fats, vitamins and minerals and more! Some of their benefits include: - They promote heart health. Walnuts are a good source of antioxidants, which can help fight against damage cause by LDL "bad" cholesterol, as well as omega-3 fats, which can help to minimize the risk of heart disease. They also contain nutrients that can help to decrease inflammation, which is a root cause of heart disease. Eating walnuts can help to improve blood pressure and lower cholesterol and triglyceride levels. So aim for 1 to 1.5 ounces of walnuts daily for your heart health! - They promote healthy aging. Adding walnuts to your diet helps promote healthy gut flora, which can lead to a decreased risk of disease. They also can help to minimize inflammation, which is linked to Alzheimer's disease. - They can help your weight-loss goals. While walnuts are calorie-dense, they are a unique food in that you may not absorb all their calories... almonds are another nut that can actually help you lose weight. Plus the healthy fats in walnuts can fill you up and help keep you from overeating.

No search results found Many serious workplace accidents occur due to the manipulation of locks on safety doors in the machine guards that surround machinery. People working on and around machinery find clever ways of disengaging the locking mechanisms. They do this simply to make things easier for themselves while carrying out their work tasks without really seeing the risks it entails. At Axelent we have been working on lock solutions for preventing this in accordance with standard ISO14119. Interlocking (door breaker) A door breaker tells the machine if the safety door is open. This means that the door is monitored by the machine's system and sends a signal to the machine telling it whether it can run or not. The machine will only run if the door is firmly shut. Guardlocking (door lock) A door lock works in much the same way, by sending a signal, the difference being that the door is locked by a special key or locking device and cannot be opened until the machine is in safe mode. Axelent has developed locks that work in combination with a door breaker or a door lock, such as our X-Lock and Hitch Lock. A popular way of manipulating a lock is to unscrew and remove one of the parts of the breaker or lock. We have stopped this by using one-way screws. As the name implies, these screws can be screwed in but not unscrewed. Ways of making safety doors quicker and easier to enter. Some locks can be manipulated to allow doors to remain open the whole time. A handle on the inside of the safety door in the machine guards. If somebody gets stuck inside they can get out by pulling the emergency handle. A lock that is used at emergency exits and escape routes. Doors fitted with this lock can always be opened from the inside, even when locked with a key. Our X-Locks are equipped with a mechanical splint that requires handling to open and close the door from the outside. Interlocking safety switch A signal is emitted when the lock is properly locked. A simple type of lock that locks the door as it shuts. Works together with a touch-free door release and functions in a similar way to our X-Lock. Find more resources and Knowledge

In my previous post I shared about the distractions created by hyperlinks. But what can we do to mitigate these distractions? There are a couple of ways you can limit the distractions caused by hyperlinks. If you are reading a webpage that contains hyperlink you are interested in pursuing, right click on those links and select “open in new tab.” Then read those new webpages when you have finished browsing the current article. Even better, when reading a webpage, copy it into a Word document, select all the text, and then remove the color and underline so that the hyperlinks can no longer be distinguished from the rest of the text. When you have finished reading the article, you can return to the original webpage and read it again to give attention to the hyperlinks. This may all seem unnecessary, and yet this simple procedure could help enormously to weed out potential distractions. Don’t just take our word for this. Once again, there is research to support this. In 2007, psychologists Diana DeStefano and Jo-Anne LeFevre published an article in the journal Computers in Human Behavior, reviewing thirty-eight different experiments with people reading text peppered with hyperlinks. Many of the studies they reviewed found that hypertext diminished comprehension while none of the studies found that cognitive processing was increased. Similarly, in 1999, the Journal of Educational Multimedia and Hypermedia published the results of a study conducted by researcher Erping Zhu, who had compared the comprehension of two groups of people. Both groups were given the same content to read online, but with one difference: the content given to first group included hyperlinks. Zhu found that concentration increased as the amount of links decreased. The experiment, Zhu wrote, suggested a direct correlation “between the number of links and disorientation or cognitive overload.”

There are relatively low rates of HIV among Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people in Australia to date, attributed to the prevention work done by Aboriginal people themselves in their communities, and to the development of dedicated sexual health workers and nurses in communities, under an inclusive policy and partnership approach. Rates of HIV among Indigenous Australians and non-Indigenous Australians are similar, at around 4 per 100 000, but transmission modes differ, with higher rates of HIV among women, people who inject drugs and heterosexuals within indigenous populations. However, it is an enormous concern that rates of newly diagnosed HIV in the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander population were higher than in the non-Indigenous population between 2012-2014 (5.9 versus 3.7 per 100 000) and a third of those were determined to be late diagnoses. In 2017, there were 31 HIV notifications among Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders. Aboriginal communities have been drastically affected by colonisation and its ongoing impact can make it hard for individuals to trust health systems. It is the responsibility of nurses to gain knowledge of Aboriginal history and its effect on health and specifically, on HIV-related issues among Aboriginal people. An excellent resource is the Australian Indigenous Health Infonet. For optimal outcomes, care is provided in partnership with the individual with HIV. Consideration must always be given to confidentiality and this is even more critical when the community is small, rural or regional. It is important to clarify with the person with HIV exactly with whom he or she authorises information to be shared, and strongly adhere to this authorisation. Simply using someone’s name in the wrong setting can breach confidentiality or lead someone to perceive that his or her confidentially is broken. A community may be much smaller and more cohesive than attending health workers realise. Confidentiality around an HIV diagnosis is paramount, especially when unwanted disclosure can cause distress and deter people from seeking health care at all.

Based on findings by NHMS (2019), only 5% of Malaysians achieve the recommended intake for fruits and vegetables. It is important to consume fruits and vegetables within the recommended intake which aids in weight management and disease prevention. A serving of vegetables is approximately one cup of raw vegetables or 1/2 cup of cooked vegetables. Meanwhile, for fruits, it is one medium or one slice of any fruit. Here are some ideas on how to get the most out of five servings a day. Consuming them fresh, frozen, tinned, dried, or even juice it out. Shopping on fruits and vegetables Snack on fruit and vegetables Make juices and smoothies Try to consume at least one colour a day of the following categories Make vegetables taste good In a nutshell, achieving 5 servings of fruits and vegetables a day seems hard at first but knowing the benefits gained from it should be our inspiration to incorporate them into our eating habits. Fruits and vegetables contain combinations of fibre, vitamins, minerals, and phytochemicals which are vital in maintaining our overall long-term health.

RIB 3217. Tombstone for Aelia Sentica To the shades of the dead. Aelia Sentica lived 35 years. Aurelius Verulus to his dearest wife. Commentary and notes 2–3. Sentica. The cognomen is attested only in the graffito RIB II.8, 2503.412. Ostensibly it derives from the Latin nomen Sentius, but like other such names popular in Britain, it probably contains the Celtic name-element *seno-s (‘old’). 4. There is a medial point after AN, not drawn. V of XXXV is crowded against the edge. 6–7. Verulus, although apparently a diminutive of Latin Verus, like other such names probably contains the Celtic name-element *vero-s (‘true’). Although it is well attested in Gaul, this is the first British instance; but compare RIB 3426, Verullus. 7–8. coniuci. The penultimate letter is C, not G, but this is a slip for coniugi without linguistic significance. 8–9. karissim(a)e.

In recent years, eye tracking research has evolved in leaps and bounds. The technology behind it is becoming less expensive, meaning that more people can afford devices equipped with eye trackers. And, more and more applications are being discovered in which eye tracking technology can be leveraged. With this progress in our industry, it’s no surprise that eye tracking is changing lives in many ways. In this blog post, we’ll explore four ways eye tracking is improving our lives. 1. We’re safer behind the wheel. Auto-manufacturers, like General Motors and Toyota, are researching methods of vision- and attention-monitoring systems in cars that would use eye tracking technology to improve driver safety. If a car can track where its driver is looking, it could alert him or her to potential hazards outside the field of vision, or sound an alert if the driver’s eyes begin to close due to drowsiness. 2. Our ads are getting smarter. Why bother with ads customers aren’t interested in at all? Businesses can use eye tracking research to study where consumers look at an ad online. Vision heat mapping can detect what bores and interests consumers, so marketers can move on quickly to newer, better ads. 3. We’re becoming better readers. Researchers in Germany are working on software called Text 2.0, which intends to use eye tracking cameras to adjust a text page online to display pop-up translations and meanings of difficult or foreign words. The technology will recognize skimming behavior and adjust the page to make keywords more prominent and common words fade out, helping to improve reading comprehension. 4. We can diagnose concussions with more confidence. Numerous studies on mild traumatic brain injury suggest that the shearing of connections in the frontal area of the brain are the cause of the memory and attention deficits that often result from concussion injuries. When doctors study patients’ eye movements, they can more quickly – and more correctly – diagnose a concussion so treatment can occur sooner.

What Does Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC) Mean? Polyvinyl chloride (PVC), or vinyl as it is commonly referred to, is a type of plastic. PVC belongs to the thermoplastic group. PVC is produced by taking vinyl chloride monomers and bringing them through the polymerization process. PVC was discovered in the 19th century and has remained one of the most popular plastics in use. Corrosionpedia Explains Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC) Polyvinyl chloride is a thermoplastic, which means that it will soften and begin to liquefy as it is heated to its melting point. This is a useful characteristic because it allows the PVC to be formed in molds. PVC can be reheated many times without adversely affecting its properties, thus making it easily recyclable and repurposable. PVC is one of the most widely employed plastics and is used for pipes, floors, structures, coatings, cables and many other applications. It is popular because it has excellent mechanical properties, is readily recyclable, is flame retardant and uses less fossil fuel than many other types of plastic. PVC is a special type of plastic because its mechanical properties can be altered with relative ease. This is done through the addition of other compounds and elements. PVC can be made flexible, stiff, elastic or ductile. It can be made to withstand impacts or hold heavy static loads. PVC can even be colored simply by mixing it with additives.

Depression is the leading cause of disability worldwide, according to the World Health Organization And, although treatments exist for it, many people do not respond fully to treatment. Prevention of depression has the potential to improve the health and quality of life of millions of people. Diet is one way to address depression risk, and recent research has shown the potential of dietary flavonoids to reduce risk of the condition. Flavonoids are compounds in plant foods that have been shown to have effects that may interrupt the pathophysiology of depression — including by combating neuroinflammation and neuronal cell death. In addition, some flavonoids seem to improve blood flow, and that may help prevent age-related depression, which is influenced by vascular health. A study published in 2016 in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition looked at whether long-term dietary intake of the different subclasses of flavonoids (flavonols, flavones, flavanones, anthocyanins, flavan-3-ols, polymeric flavonoids, proanthocyanidins) were related to depression incidence. They also examined the connection between specific flavonoid-rich foods and depression risk. Among the more than 80,000 women followed for this study, approximately 10,000 cases of depression were noted at the 10-year follow-up. Analysing food frequency questionnaires and other data, the researchers found inverse associations between depression risk and flavonol, flavone and flavanone intake. In addition, the women who consumed more citrus fruits or juices had a lower incidence of depression. In older women (65 years or older at baseline), all subclasses of flavonoids except flavan-3-ols were associated with significantly lower risk of depression. The strongest associations were seen with flavones (good dietary sources include oranges, apples, celery, etc.) and proanthocyanidins (apples, chocolate, grapes, etc). The researchers concluded that, although further studies are needed to confirm these associations, higher flavonoid intake may be associated with reduced risk of developing depression, particularly later in life.

A contemporary witness remembers The Apollo 11 mission, the first manned moon landing, has been widely reported since 1969. However, the subsequent six further moon flights of the Apollo program are much less present. How was it back then? During the four-year lunar missions of the US Apollo program, our knowledge of the Earth's satellite changed significantly and many new experiences were gained with regard to manned excursions to another celestial body. While the first circumnavigation of the moon in December 1968 and the first moon landing in July 1969 have not been forgotten to this day, relatively little of the six subsequent flights has stuck in people's collective memory. Therefore, as a journalist who was already active back then, I would like to take the reader back to this exciting chapter in space history. My path to becoming a space commentator and publicist began in the mid-1960s, when I was still a student at the Technical University of Berlin and head of the satellite observation station at the Wilhelm Foerster Observatory in Berlin. In cooperation with US institutions, we were involved in the observation of near-Earth satellites, primarily Soviet launches, primarily with radio technology procedures. It had nothing to do with espionage. In early 1968 I even received official permission from the Soviet Academy of Sciences to receive and scientifically evaluate the signals from all satellites and space probes in the USSR. I'm probably the only one in Germany who has such a document in his files. My stays in the USA in 1966 and 1968, including as a NASA scholarship holder at the "School of Environmental and Planetary Sciences" at the University of Miami, also contributed to my being the primary contact for the media in Berlin when it comes to space travel was. Occasionally the US RIAS had approached me. The RIAS, the "broadcasting in the American sector", was for decades an extremely popular radio station with two full programs in the western part of Berlin, and above all in the former GDR, which was also supplied with high transmission power. In addition to politics, the focus was on culture, youth, technology and research. With reunification in 1989, RIAS merged with Deutschlandsender Kultur, which later became DeutschlandRadio Kultur. Until then, sovereignty over the station lay with the Americans …

This year, New York City Department of Education has decided to declare Eid Al-Adha a holiday and students and teachers will not be in attendance. In the past, students would have to come to school though this holiday is important to them. On September 24, 2015, anyone celebrating Eid Al-Adha had the chance to stay home and spend time with their families. Eid Al-Adha is also known as the “greater Eid.” It is an Islamic festival to honor the willingness of Prophet Abraham to follow Allah’s command to sacrifice Ishmael. Having this holiday off makes it easier on students, teachers, and parents. With this being a given holiday throughout public schools, students won’t have to worry about missing a day of school and more than likely tons of work they will have to make up as soon as they return. Somaya Chowdhury, a senior at Edison said, “Now, I can finally stay home and enjoy it from the minute I wake up to when I go to sleep. My parents are actually happy because they don’t have to stress about if I should go to school or not or how it would work out and stuff. They are also happy because people are starting to appreciate the Muslim holiday. There is a day off that celebrates us. After all the religions who got their days off, we finally got ours.” Likewise Mr. Ahmed believes, “this holiday brings once again the opportunity for the Muslims to have spiritual awakening as well as mental thrill due to congregational prayer, inter-visitations and partying at the levels of family and friends.” Now that we have more days off, our time in school has to be extended to compensate the time lost. Every year we would end school on June 26, but since we are given days off such as Eid and Chinese New Year’s we have to continue to be in school until June 28. Freshman Jenna Bakhsh said, “In my opinion by extending the school year, kids will be mad that school seems longer because they are used to leaving school on the 26.” Overall, many of the families who celebrate this holiday are ecstatic. After years of having to keep their kids home or having them go to school and not celebrate the way they normally would, they will enjoy having the whole day with their families without the worry of school being on their mind.

Answers to common questions about the HPV vaccine August 1-7, 2021 marked the third annual California HPV Vaccine Week. It kicked off with “HPV Vaccination: An Open Forum Webinar for Parents and Guardians,” organized by the California HPV Vaccination Roundtable. The roundtable is a coalition of more than 40 organizations dedicated to HPV cancer prevention. As a result, its primary goal is to increase HPV vaccination rates in the state to 80 percent by 2026. Above all, HPV Vaccine Week is about providing education to encourage parents and adolescents to learn about the benefits of HPV vaccination. The HPV vaccine prevents six types of cancer: cervical, vaginal, vulvar, penile, anal, and oropharyngeal or head and neck cancers. The CDC recommends HPV vaccination at 11-13 years-old, and as early as age nine. “HPV Vaccination: An Open Forum Webinar for Parents and Guardians” provides answers to common questions about the HPV vaccine. For example, questions such as: - What is HPV and why do we need a vaccine for it? - When should my child be vaccinated? - Is it safe? - Does vaccination encourage early sex? - What impact has the HPV vaccine had on HPV-associated cancers? HPV Vaccination: An Open Forum Webinar for Parents and Guardians, recorded on August 2, 2021.

The availability of technology has caused communication to morph into a multiplicity of formats. These texts, even their linguistic part alone, cannot be comprehended without a clear idea of how the other modes are contributing to the meaning of the text. Not only are language teachers drawing on these new textual resources for instruction, but learners are also directly exposed to them through social media sites, websites, chatrooms, online forums, instant messaging, etc. Traditionally, linguistics has been mainly concerned with describing language in terms of its sound system (phonetics and phonology), word structure (morphology), phrase and sentence structure (syntax), and meaning (semantics). Second language acquisition (SLA) and reading theories born from this conception of linguistics view literacy as the mere ability to read and write. Such conception has become obsolete, as it ignores the contexts in which and the reasons why we read and write as well as the changing ways in which we now read and write digitally. To answer questions about texts whose compositional elements fall beyond the traditional scope of language, a multimodal framework is the most suitable as it is an inherently and intrinsically interdisciplinary cooperative enterprise, which attempts to account for meaning in all its appearances, social occasions, and cultural sites. This conceptual framework assumes that representation and communication always draw on a multiplicity of modes, that all modes have been shaped through their cultural, historical, and social uses to realize social functions, and that the meaning realized in one mode is always interwoven with those of other modes co-operating in a text. The proliferation of texts that combine ‘linguistic’ signs such as written language and non-linguistic signs such as diagrams, photographs, arrows, icons, and charts represents an intriguing area of inquiry in SLA because of its potential to alleviate some of the difficulties learners face while reading English such as deficient knowledge of the writing system, limited vocabulary, insufficient familiarity with grammatical structures, and missing strategies for reading English (Birch, 2007). These changes in second language written input raised the need to question their implication for learners.

Polished Tungsten Rod Polished tungsten rod refers to the use the fuction of mechanical, chemical or electrochemical, thereby reducing the surface roughness of the tungsten rods, obtain more smooth way tungsten rod surface. Obviously, this type of tungsten rod has a high quality surface brightness and flatness. Polishing is the process of creating a smooth and shiny surface by rubbing it or using a chemical action, leaving a surface with a significant specular reflection. In some materials (such as metals, glasses, black or transparent stones) polishing is also able to reduce diffuse reflection to minimal values. When an unpolished surface is magnified thousands of times, it usually looks like mountains and valleys. Differences between Ground and Polishing There is no different between ground and polishing process basically. In the industry, ground process is the basic of polishing. Ground process is primarily for subsequent plating or coating formation processes. It can be said that polishing is the further optimization and upgrading of ground process. Polishing is to make the surface gloss. Polishing can make workpiece surface more smooth. The workpiece by grinding machine is more rough, but the polishing workpiece would be better. Polishing tungsten rod is mainly used in glass melting, high-temperature furnace heating, welding electrodes, filament, X-37B weapons.

From 23 to 25 August, a series of active weather fronts passed across West and Central Europe, triggering the development of several large thunderstorms. 04 May 2023 24 August 2011 by Theo Steenbergen and Jochen Kerkmann (EUMETSAT) During the afternoon of 24th, a cold front accompanied with a convergence zone crossed France, Germany and Poland from south-west to north-east. Favoured by high CAPE conditions, several very active Cumulonimbus cells developed, with storm tops overshooting into the lower stratosphere. These convective storms crossed Germany from Saarland to Sachsen-Anhalt and Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, producing hail (small, but large quantity), strong rain and strong wind gusts. One of the storms crossed right over Darmstadt, the city of the headquarter of EUMETSAT. According to the DWD, in Bad Soden-Salmüster (Hessen) and in Berlin-Schönefeld wind gusts of Beaufort 12 were measured, and as regards precipitation, the station of Waidhaus-Prentsch (Oberpfalz) registered 88 mm rain in just one hour. The cloud top texture of the convective cells is well visible in the IR10.8 and HRV imagery (see images below), including ring-shape and U/V-shape storms and radial Cirrus bands or 'ship waves' over one of the cells. Note that ship waves atop of thunderstorms are not pure waves but are due to the interference of waves. They are caused by the relative motion between the fluid and an obstacle (see satellite examples , Pao Wang, 2010).

Middle School Students Integrate Geography & English with Research Skills The seventh graders took on a research project that integrated their World Geography & English classes as well as research skills in the library! The students started by book-talking lots of historical fiction books that represented each of the seven continents. Students had several months to try different books before settling on the title of their choice. As they read the book, they were to find a research topic that was central to the story. For instance, the book about a chocolate store that took the main character on a trip to the Amazon forest had one student research the conservation of the Amazon forest while another student researched how chocolate is made using cacao. Other topics included: Climate of New Zealand, Apartheid in South Africa, Stalin's deadly rule in Russia, the plight of child workers during the Industrial Revolution in the US, Diamond mining in Africa, Animals and Biomes of Australia, arranged marriages in India, the use of Elephants as loggers in Africa, the mythology behind the zodiac symbols and so many more! Using NoodleTools, the students practiced creating effective note cards while researching their topics using books, databases, and a very carefully chosen website. In conjunction with the library, research lessons were delivered throughout the process. Students learned to cite sources, write a personal evaluation, a book summary, and organize/coordinate their research! Once the projects were assembled, the seventh graders presented their research to sixth graders in one-on-one sessions in the library in a museum-like setup. The sixth graders have been practicing active listening--both presenters and listeners did a superb job! Located in Charlottesville, VA, The Covenant School is a non-denominational, private, Christian day school for Pre-Kindergarten through Grade 12. Students benefit from a challenging academic program, visual and performing arts, competitive athletics, and a wide selection of extracurricular activities.

The river Saraswati has become invisible again, this time because of political reasons. Union Minister for Culture and Information and Broadcasting, Jaipal Reddy announced last week in Parliament that there was no evidence of Saraswati. The NDA government had sanctioned a project for detailed and extensive archaeological work based on initial investigations. Renowned archaeologists, like Dr Wakankar, had done preliminary work and had concluded that the invisible river'sroute and existence can be traced with more work and use of high-tech methods. Satellite imagery supplemented it and dozens of archaeological sites along the route established the historic river. Shri Jagmohan, as the then Minister for Culture had sanctioned the project, allocating Rs 4.98 crore for a year. However, Reddy, answering questions in the Rajya Sabha on December 6, said the studies conducted at nine sites had not yielded any proof. This is blatant suppression of facts. Reddy also said that the UPA government has not extended the project because of this reason. Under the NDA, the Saraswati project was cleared by the advisory board, which means that the project had been vetted by archaeologists and geologists. But the present government did not think it necessary to go to the advisory board again to find out if the project was worth continuing or not. The fact that the CPM (Nilotpal Basu) was more interested in knowing ?who? was behind the project than the academic veracity of it, makes it clear that the Saraswati project is yet another victim of UPA's?undo? governance. The UPA government is systematically using the comb to fine-search projects and studies that would throw light on ancient India. It is as if they are afraid of discovering it to be ?Hindu?.

Wildlife photography is easily one of the most difficult forms of photography. The subjects do not listen to the photographer, nor do they sit still and pose. Although wildlife photography focuses specifically on animals in their natural habitats, there are 4 major types of photography in the field. 1. The Close Up The first type of photography is a close up of the animal in its environment. Photos in this category typically have the entire frame filled with the animal. They rarely include much of the natural habitat the animal resides in. Australian photographer David Stowe specializes in this type. 2. The Freeze Frame The second type is a shot of the animal in which it appears as though the animal has frozen in place. It is often looking directly at the photographer, creating an intimate portrait. Photographer Norman Asch is known for this type. 3. The Nature Shot This type of photography style shows animals displaying their natural behaviors. For example, a bird perched on a tree branch, eating a fish he has clearly just caught. This gives the viewer a look into the natural order of wildlife photography. Tracy Lund’s work often focuses on this aspect. 4. The Behavioral The last type is a mix of the freeze frame and the nature shot. In this style, the photographer captures the animal in the middle of a natural behavior. But unlike the nature shot, there is no sense of movement. It is a frozen portrait of the behavior. Isak Pretorius has many great examples of this type of style.

When you hear the term “substance abuse,” what age range comes to mind? Perhaps you first think of adolescents or young adults. You may be surprised to hear that alcoholism within the older adult population is on the rise. In fact, research shows that by 2020, a total of 5.7 million seniors will be struggling with alcoholism. Substance abuse is often overlooked within our older adult population. During Alcohol Awareness Month in April, we want to highlight this topic. The dramatic rise in alcohol abuse stems from the unique challenges that come with aging. As people age and retire, they might begin to drink earlier in the day or more often. When facing depression and hopelessness, alcohol is sometimes used to bandage the pain. Other reasons may stem from the need for pain management, coping with other disabilities or having difficulty sleeping. The following are ways to recognize substance abuse in yourself or a loved one: - Defensiveness when asked about drinking - Drinking in the early hours of the day - Increased confusion, disorientation, forgetfulness - Failing to engage in normal routine, hobbies, etc. - Frequently unreachable, turning down events they normally enjoy - Suspicious or dishonest behaviors It is common for family members to become deeply affected by a loved one’s substance abuse. Being under the influence of alcohol can result in poor decisions related to health and wellness. Former healthy lifestyle decisions may be abandoned, leaving family members feeling tense and upset. Another concern among families is the risk of suicide, and/or depression that comes with excessive drinking. Therapeutic intervention can create a positive impact on alcoholism within the older adult population. It may be difficult for someone struggling with substance abuse to turn to a family member or friend. Counseling offers unbiased guidance and a safe place to have an outlet. Treatment in counseling may include: screening for signs of depression, assessing for suicide risk and exploring the root of drinking problem. People often find that counseling leads to identifying barriers to a healthier lifestyle. Self-awareness is the key to healing. Reach out to a counselor in your community that has experience working with the aging population; after all, seeking help is a sign of strength, not weakness.

Conditionals | Grammar Conditionals are a type of sentence in English that refer to a real or unreal situation in the past, present or future. We sometimes call them 'if' clauses, because the word 'if' is normally the key part of this type of sentence. There are four types of conditional sentence, the zero, first, second and third conditionals. There is also a mixed conditional, where it is possible to put different parts of the four types together to express different times in the same sentence. For example, we could say "If it rains, I will stay at home". This is a common example of the first conditional. It is used to refer to a real or possible situation in the future. A conditional sentence has two parts: the 'if' clause and the main clause. In this series of video lessons, you will learn all about the four different types of conditional sentence as well has how to use them in context. You will see lots of examples to make it very clear how we use them, when and why. How to use zero conditional How to use first conditional How to use second conditional How to use third conditional How to use mixed conditionals

Air pollution caused by fine particles (PM2.5) in Nairobi is consistently over five times higher than recommended limits advised by the World Health Organization (WHO), according to a new study. A team of researchers from the Institute of Nuclear Science and Technology at the University of Nairobi and the Department of Environmental Science, Stockholm University, found concentrations of black carbon, an aerosol from fossil fuel combustion and biomass burning, higher than other major cities around the world. They published their results in Communications earth and environment. “We found around 85% of black carbon particulates come from fossil combustion sources, particularly from vehicles,” said Leonard Kirago, the study’s lead author from Stockholm University. According to Kirago, black carbon constitutes around 15-20% of PM2.5 aerosols in Nairobi. This is similar to findings from other African cities but higher than cities in other geographical regions in Asia. “This means, even if the PM2.5 concentrations are lower than in Asia, health implications may be more severe,” he explained. The rapid growth in population and urbanization in Africa could worsen air pollution, “thus posing a significant health risk to the populace,” he added. While it may be expensive, the researchers suggest that effective public transportation and enforcing emissions standards in sub-Saharan Africa may bring air pollution under control.

Many people nowadays ride cars—in all countries and on all continents. This of course brings some hazards with them, but I am not going to talk about car accidents, but about sticking your head out of a window of a car. To understand the magnitude of this problem we must consider how many times this happens. Unfortunately people doing this is not uncommon, many people do it, some more than others. The reason why people do this can vary: it could be to get some fresh air, but it also could be to see the landscape better for example. But not only humans do it, if you ever saw the program of Scooby-Doo then you have probably seen the dog sticking his head out of the minivan, so animals can do it as well. So it is rather encouraged than discouraged in popular television series—even for children. You can do it many times, at least until you hit a lamppost and die. Some people would think that that would not happen. It does happen, however the chance is very small, very small, but not neglible. A man died exactly that way, by hitting his head to a lamppost during a car ride. Every risk small or big is too much. The remedy for this kind of safety fail is being more cautious and not doing that—for your own safety.

Nerve Treatment / Pulpotomy on Primary Teeth When a cavity has become very large it often destroy the tooth structure all the way down to the pulp or living tissue of the tooth (see diagram). Often this tooth decay into the pulp will be painful. When the decay has reached the dental pulp, the pulp is generally still alive but the outer areas of the pulp are infected with the bacteria that caused the cavity. If the pulp is not treated and the infected areas are not removed then the bacteria will continue to cause infection and can penetrate all the way into the root canals. If this occurs then the tooth will become abscessed and very painful requiring early removal of the tooth. To prevent the tooth from abscessing and to relieve any discomfort we can perform a pulpotomy. We often refer to this as a baby root canal but it is not nearly as complicated or difficult of a procedure as a root canal. To perform a pulpotomy we remove the cavity and then access the pulp chamber in the crown of the tooth. We remove the pulp tissue in the crown of the tooth so that all that is left is the healthy pulpal tissue that is down in the roots of the tooth. We evaluate the remaining pulp tissue to make sure that it does not show any signs of infection and then place medication in the pulp chamber to make sure that all of the bacteria have been killed. We restore the tooth by placing a medicated filling material in the pulp chamber and placing a stainless steel crown that covers, protects, and strengthens the tooth.

India announced on Wednesday (March 29) that one of eight cheetahs displaced from Namibia had given birth to four cubs, decades after the species was declared extinct in 1952 in the South Asian country. India's Environment Minister Bhupender Yadav posted a photo and video of the cheetah cubs on Twitter, calling the event " Prime Minister Narendra Modi welcomed the " ", also on Twitter. According to Indian media, a second Namibian cheetah is expected to give birth soon. Eight Namibian cheetahs were reintroduced to India last year. At the beginning of this year, twelve more cheetahs came from South Africa to swell the first contingent. An endangered species in India The announcement of the birth of the four cheetah cubs comes a few days after the death of one of the Namibian cheetahs in Kuno National Park, a nature reserve located 320 kilometers south of New Delhi, victim of kidney failure. The Asian cheetah has been officially extinct in India since 1952. Maharaja Ramanuj Pratap Singh Deo is said to have killed the last three specimens recorded in India in the late 1940s. This subspecies, which once roamed the Middle East, Central Asia and India, is now only found in very small numbers in Iran. The disappearance of the cheetah in India is mainly attributed to hunters, who coveted its precious light tawny fur, covered with round spots, but also to the loss of its habitat. The cheetah is listed as “ ” on the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) Red List of Threatened Species.

By Dr. Rakesh G. Nair , Orthopaedics The bicep is a muscle that is located on the front portion of the upper arm. The muscle is attached to the bones of the shoulder and the elbows by tendons (fibrous tissue cords). A tear in the bicep actually refers to the tear in the bicep tendon. There is one tendon that attaches the bicep to the elbow and two other tendons that attach the bicep to the shoulder. A bicep tear is not very common; it usually results from a sudden injury, thus causing weakness of the arm. The torn tendon does not heal in itself. While other adjoining muscles allow the normal functioning of the bicep muscle up to an extent, it usually doesn’t facilitate the full range of motion of the arm. Causes- The various causes of bicep tear are: - Injury: A bicep tear might occur if the elbow is held straight against a heavy load, such as a heavy box. Contrary to popular belief, it does not occur when you are bending the elbow against heavy resistance. - Age: The chances of a bicep tear go up significantly once you are past your 30’s. Note: Apart from these causes, smoking and usage of corticosteroid medications also deteriorate the strength of one’s tendons. Symptoms- The symptoms of a bicep tear are swelling of the area of the biceps, an inability to bend the elbow and mild to tremendous pain. Treatment- The treatment depends on the extent of the tear. If the damage is extensive, surgery may be required to restore proper functioning of the bicep muscle. For a minor tear resulting in mild pain, taking pain relieving medications and resting the affected area are all that is required. The doctor may also suggest certain exercises to boost the healing process.

The term "anxiety disorder" summarises various disorders whose common basis lies in an exaggerated sense of anxiety. Every person occasionally feels anxiety. Feeling anxiety and stress and related symptoms is quite normal; usually, these sensations disappear when their causes or anxiety-causing situations are removed. In an anxiety disorder, however, the feelings of anxiety do not subside but persist, and the anxiety and the associated mental and physical symptoms are so severe that they can affect the everyday lives of those affected in different ways. There are different types of anxiety disorders, including et al Panic disorders (characterised, among other things, by recurring panic attacks, often occur in combination with agoraphobia, i.e. the fear of the outside world), phobias (fear of certain situations, objects, activities, etc.), e.g. social phobia (feelings of fear in different areas), claustrophobia (fear of staying in confined spaces), acrophobia, vertigo, etc. and generalized anxiety disorders. The possible causes of an anxiety disorder are varied, often it is a combination of various factors that leads to the development of an anxiety disorder (ongoing stressful events, physical illnesses, personality factors such as traumas in childhood etc.). The therapy depends entirely on the type and severity of the anxiety disorder and the exact individual starting situation. Whether panic disorder, social phobia or generalized anxiety disorder - for each type of anxiety disorder, various treatment options are available (e.g. psychotherapy/behavior therapy, dream, respiratory and body work, systematic desensitisation, exposure methods, lifestyle- modifying measures, drug therapy, etc.) and there are also many things that you can learn and apply as a person concerned for yourself. After a comprehensive medical history and a well-established diagnosis, we look together at what path and with which treatment approaches and measures it is best to treat the anxiety disorder and sustainably reach the point at which not the fear controls you but vice versa. Tele-therapy, Online Therapy, Online Care Initial discussions and ongoing therapies can also be made online via Skype, WhatsApp and other online channels. In this way, it is possible for me to also personally care for patients who live outside the region or abroad, who travel regularly or for other reasons can not come to the office. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to inquire either by phone or email

BMENA Case Study - Sequence and Phylogenetic Analysis of Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza H5N1 Viruses Isolated During 2006-2008 Outbreaks in Pakistan Reveals Genetic Diversity Anthony Wilson studies how the biology of blood-feeding insects affects the spread of viruses and our ability to control their spread. Wilson, group leader in Integrative Entomology at the Pirbright Institute in the United Kingdom, first did public engagement as a graduate student participating in the Science and Engineering Ambassador program at his university. He found it rewarding to speak with undergraduate students about STEM careers, especially because no one had encouraged him in this way. Since then, his public engagement has continued to be part of his research career, as his work is inherently public-facing. For example, he coordinated closely with veterinarians to manage and communicate about the bluetongue virus during the 2006 outbreak in Europe. He helped promote the message that insects spread this disease, which has severe impacts on livestock populations, and that people can help in controlling it and preventing its entry into the UK. For his work in brain development, Flavio Donato is the 2017 grand prize winner of The Eppendorf & Science Prize for Neurobiology. BOSTON – For bee researchers like May Berenbaum, 2006 was the year an international consortium of researchers published the first full sequence of the honeybee genome, offering a unique and long-sought glimpse at the biological quirks of an insect that shares a productive history with humans. Scientists are testing methods ranging from selective insecticide spraying to intelligent robotic traps to curb disease-carrying mosquitoes by harnessing the power of data collection and targeted interventions, according to a presentation at the AAAS annual meeting.

The current vaccine market is gaining momentum in the development of alternative administration routes namely intranasal, oral, topical, pulmonary, vaginal, and rectal; the nasal route offers the most promising opportunity for vaccine administration. It can enhance convenience, safety, elicit both local and systemic immune responses; thus potentially provide protection from pathogens at the site of entry. Nasal vaccine innovation comes with both opportunities and challenges. The innovative strategies used by industry and researchers to overcome the hurdles are discussed in this article: these include live-attenuated vaccines, adjuvants, mucoadhesives, particulate delivery systems, virus-like particles, vaccine manufacture, challenges of regulatory authorities, and the nasal vaccine impact on market potential. Critical issues for effective nasal vaccination are the antigen-retention period that enables its interaction with the lymphatic system and choice of an adjuvant that is nontoxic and induces the required immune response. Co-adjuvanting by means of a mucoadhesive technology addresses some of these issues. ChiSys(®), a natural bioadhesive with proven intranasal safety profile, has already demonstrated efficacy for several nasally delivered vaccines including norovirus. With the looming threat of a pandemic, alternatives such as intranasal vaccination will ultimately facilitate greater public compliance and rapid mass global vaccination.

Associate Professor Michelle Evans & Professor Duncan McDonnell, Australian Journal of Political Science, April 2022 While the number of elected Indigenous representatives has increased over the past two decades, we know little about their pathways to candidature, which parties they stand for, the winnability of seats they stand in, and whether they are successful. Using election data from 2001 to 2021, and interviews with 50 (or 80%) of all Indigenous candidates between 2010 and 2019, this study by Associate Professor Michelle Evans & Professor Duncan McDonnell provides answers to these questions. It finds, first, that Indigenous candidates are usually winners, as 53.2% of candidatures have resulted in an election victory. Second, most candidates are from the ALP and Indigenous women tend to do better than men. Third, despite some high-profile ‘parachutes’, most Indigenous candidates are ‘partisans’ (i.e. party members for at least a year before standing). - There were 143 Indigenous candidatures by the major Australian parties between 2001 and 2021. - Of these, 71% were ALP. Labor has stood more Indigenous women than Indigenous men (Liberals & CLP have fielded over 3 times as many Indigenous men as women) - While Indigenous men and women run in approximately equal measures in winnable seats, Indigenous women have higher success rate than men (66.1% to 43.8).

This school year is our first in our brand new building, meaning that everyone on the teaching staff set up their rooms all over again. I remember one teacher in particular, who sat in her room for hours, mulling over potential set-ups, “listening to the space” to determine how to most effectively organize her room. It was because of her example that I took a step back to think deeply about my own classroom set-up. There’s something very personal about setting up a classroom. It’s one of the first impressions you give to your students, and it has a major influence on the development of classroom culture and the day-to-day flow of each class. To me, having an effectively organized classroom means utilizing the space in a way that feels intuitive to students and myself. It should make students feel comfortable and make them feel like part of a classroom community. It should allow students to move fluidly through the classroom to avoid wasted time. It should make student resources readily available and easily obtainable. Classroom layout and organization is one of those aspects of being a teacher that requires A LOT of trial and error. What works for me might not work for the teacher down the hall. What works for 3rd Graders might not work for 10th Graders. In my first year of teaching, I took a shot at classroom organization and learned what did and didn’t work with that set-up. In this second year, especially with the “blank slate” of a brand new, never-before-used classroom, I was able to really consider the purpose of my classroom and how I could arrange it in a meaningful way. Let me know what you think!:

Article 9 of the Japanese Constitution: "Aspiring sincerely to an international peace based on justice and order, the Japanese people forever renounce war as a sovereign right of the nation and the threat or use of force as means of settling international disputes. In order to accomplish the aim of the preceding paragraph, land, sea, and air forces, as well as other war potential, will never be maintained. The right of belligerency of the state will not be recognized." Founding, Goals and Objectives of the Article 9 Society Few people realize that for three-quarters-of-a-century, since the end of World War II, primarily because of just these 73 words in Japan's Constitution, no person outside of Japan has been killed by Japanese soldiers. Learning from the disasterous experiences of two world wars, the victors and the vanquished created new principles for international peace and justice, and gave them a home in Japan's Constitution. These principles were embodied in Article 9 in 1946. Those of us in The Article 9 Society believe that the principles of Article 9 can be effective in deterring war, and that Article 9 might well be a new model for all nations for the 21st Century and beyond. The Article 9 Society (A9S) was founded in mid-March 1991 after the Gulf "oil-resource" War, and out of a renewed recognition of the futility, folly, foolishness, and immorality of war as an instrument of foreign policy, and as a vehicle for attempting to solve international problems. The name, "The Article 9 Society" was taken from Article 9 of the Japanese Constitution which was written with the help of the United States after World War Two. The long term goal of the Article 9 Society is to have all nations on earth adopt in their own constitutions the principles expressed in Article 9 of the Japanese Constitution. Recognizing the difficulty in weaning ourselves from the age old addiction for war, The Article 9 Society's shorter term goals leading to the long term, are:

How to: Textured Fills_Tips_2019 Examples: Textured Fills Gallery Recently given a 10-year critical review in a presentation to the ICOM-Leather Working Group meeting in Paris (June 2019), textured fills are a method of creating surface topography for loss compensation materials with acrylic media on flat, reusable silicone rubber molds. Their use in treatment is part of a comprehensive approach to selecting and applying fill materials. Cast films of acrylic media on various substrates like paper or textile replicate the patterns of original surfaces like leather or cloth grain. The textured fills increase the visual compatibility of mends and allow for treatments more sympathetic to the original object. Materials already widely used in conservation are integrated with surface casting techniques common in objects and paintings conservation. They are easy to create from affordable supplies that are readily available at art supply stores. Textured fills have been successfully used in book, paper, photo, textile, and objects conservation. Completed textured fills are less invasive, thinner, and visually more compatible than traditional repairs with leather or mulberry-fibered papers. Two things to emphasize to avoid failed fills or a thick/bulky acrylic layer: 1) work in thinnest layers possible 2) this is an aesthetic fill, the bulk of the stabilization should be done by other internal repairs [See unpublished draft: https://sarahreidell.files.wordpress.com/2020/03/icom_leather2019_publicationdraft_reidell.pdf%5D Previously referred to as cast composites, they were prompted by experimentation and necessity by conservators Grace Owen-Weiss (New York Public Library) and Sarah Reidell (now University of Pennsylvania Libraries). They shared their techniques with the conservation community in a presentation to the Library Collections Conservation Discussion Group (LCCDG) at the Book and Paper Group (BPG) session of the AIC annual meeting in Milwaukee, WI in 2010. An update on the technique was recently shared at the 2018 AIC Annual Meeting Symposium “The Current Use of Leather in Book Conservation.” Hands-on workshops at leading museums, libraries, and training programs have shared the technique with many.

In a small but significant portion of urban public housing, the dual legacies of segregation and concentrated poverty have long plagued residents. Over the course of decades, these legacies have contributed to chronic systemic failures, the burden of which has disproportionately fallen on members of minority groups. The federal government has responded through two strands of policies, each aimed at a different legacy. First, Congress enacted the Fair Housing Act to root out the last vestiges of state- sanctioned segregation by affirmatively promoting racial integration. Second, and more recently, Congress created a program known as HOPE VI to combat the concentration of very poor residents in urban public housing by replacing dilapidated projects with mixed-income developments, which bring in moderate-income working families to serve as role models. But success in overcoming historical failures remains elusive—largely because housing policies that promote income mixing seem bound to come into conflict with housing policies that promote racial integration. Persistent patterns of residential segregation in HOPE VI communities attest to the problem. The use of restrictive income-based admissions policies has put once-distressed neighborhoods on track to become as segregated as before, though the racial pendulum has swung in the opposite direction. I thus argue that programs advancing racial integration should trump income-mixing considerations when the compasses point in different directions. Reaffirming racial integration as a primary policy goal would ultimately remedy the related harms of racial isolation and displacement that have continued to mar HOPE VI projects. Just as importantly, adopting an integrative norm comports with both the express obligations and underlying spirit of the Fair Housing Act.

THE HOMEWORK MYTH After spending most of the day in school, children are typically given additional assignments to be completed at home – a remarkable fact, when you stop to think about it. What’s more, homework in most schools isn’t limited to those times when it seems appropriate and important. Rather than saying, “Doing this particular project at home may be useful,” our message seems to be, “We’ve decided ahead of time that students will have to do something every night. Later on we’ll figure out what to make them do.” We know it causes stress and conflict, frustration and exhaustion. But at least, we tell ourselves, it teaches them independence and good work habits, “reinforces” what they’ve been taught, and helps them to become more successful learners. Or does it? In this presentation, Alfie Kohn carefully reviews the usual defenses of homework and finds that none is actually supported by research, logic, or experience. He then offers half a dozen reasons to explain why we feel obligated to administer this modern cod liver oil even though there is no evidence that it’s necessary – and considerable evidence that it undermines children’s interest in learning. This, in turn, leads to a closer look at our assumptions about teaching in general, and practical suggestions for rethinking what students are asked to do both during and after school. (For more details about this talk, please see the book of the same name.)

Cyber Attacks can now be thwarted with the help of Microprocessors eventually leading to a phase where the software based anti-virus solutions will be replaced by hardware-based silicon chips. Yes, the researchers at the Indian Institute of Technology of Madras (IIT-M) have developed a microprocessor chip which helps in protecting computer, smartphones, and tablets from almost all variants of cyber threats. Called Shakti-T, the processor has the ability to detect suspicious software like WannaCry accessing a system’s memory in an unauthorized way and restricting the malware’s access to stored data in the memory. Technically, the silicon wafer works on the concept called “Tagged Instruction Architecture” where all instructions are pre-coded into software that controls the way a computing device behaves to any command or instruction. In general, as soon as a user clicks an infected email or forwarded link, the program launches itself and gains unauthorized access to memory locations in the system and encrypts the stored data. The Shakti T processor has the ability to detect the malware program and guard it against being executed which eventually protects the memory from being accessed in an illegitimate way. Assistant professor Chester Rebeiro said that the newly invented processor could abolish the need to use an anti-malware solution provided it gets support from the operating system and the applications. Currently, the researchers under the leadership of Professor Kamakoti are busy in redesigning the OS and the applications that go with it. Once this is done, Shakthi T will be available for testing and can later be used for commercial purposes. The Researchers of the Madras University are aiming the Cyber Attack Defense related Microprocessor at critical applications like those used in Military and Nuclear Power Grids.

Unlike the makers of pharmaceutical drugs, those who manufacture medical devices apparently receive little oversight. Some critics report that the few rules the FDA issues to device manufacturers are often ignored with impunity. In fact, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration has re-assessed its own policies for evaluating medical devices. Unless changes are made, some fear that patients in Ohio and elsewhere may be at risk when those devices are used as part of their medical treatment. Within 30 days of learning that a medical device may have caused an injury, pharmaceutical companies are required to report those injuries to the FDA. However, at least one company withheld over 1,000 reports related to a certain device used in back surgeries. The FDA apparently did nothing to discipline the company for its delinquent and often incomplete reports. In fact, the FDA says such practices are efficient and beneficial to public welfare. Nevertheless, thousands of patients who were injured by the device are now filing lawsuits. Some safety advocates are highly critical of the FDA’s history of approving medical devices with little to no research. Until recently, the agency defended this practice. Now, a new website invites patients, as well as doctors, to report any injuries that may be related to medical devices. This development comes on the heels of an FDA investigation of more than a dozen hospitals that failed to report adverse incidents involving medical devices. Health and safety watchdogs remain skeptical of the new policies the Food and Drug Administration has launched. They feel the agency is more concerned about protecting the devices than protecting patients. It remains to be seen whether the agency will follow through with consequences when medical devices lead to the injuries or deaths of patients. Meanwhile, those in Ohio who are adversely affected by faulty medical devices have recourse to the legal system by contacting a dedicated lawyer for help in pursuing potential damages.

Vapor compression is used to cool buildings and data centers because it is the most efficient cooling technology available. A typical vapor compression cooling system will produce twice as much cooling power as it consumes in power depending on the operating conditions. No other cooling technology comes close to this level of efficiency. The most common competing technology is thermoelectric-based Peltier devices, which draw at least 2 times more power than it provides in cooling, or at least 4 times more power than a vapor compression system under the same operating conditions. By comparison, Vapor compression has a maximum Carnot efficiency of 80% and a commercially attained efficiency of 60%. Thermoelectric systems, on the other hand, have a maximum Carnot efficiency of 35% and a maximum commercially attained efficiency of ~15%. The attained efficiency of thermoelectric systems is one-fourth of that attained by vapor compression systems. This means that a vapor compression system providing 1000 watts of cooling with a Coefficient of Performance of two (COP= Cooling Watts/power draw Watts) will draw 500 watts of power to achieve that cooling capacity. A thermoelectric system providing 1000 watts of cooling at the same temperatures with a COP of 0.5 (Cooling Watts/Power Draw) will draw 2 KW of power to achieve the same cooling load. This COP comparison holds true whether the system is cooling air, a pumped liquid chiller, or a direct cooling approach is used. The vapor compression cycle will always be more efficient than a concomitant Thermoelectric based cooler due to the innate limitation of the technology. No amount of packaging can overcome the efficiency limitation. As we shall see in additional posts, the efficiency limitation of TECs causes a number of additional limitations in their use in a wide range of cooling applications. The bar graph shown here was generated by running tests on Aspen’s ECU-550, a vapor compression-based ECU for electronics enclosures, and a competing thermoelectric device with the same nominal capacity. The data was gathered over a wide range of ambient temperatures and case temperatures. The data was only limited by the failure of the thermoelectric system to provide adequate cooling under high ambient, low case temperature, and high delta T conditions. As can be seen from the graph the vapor compression system is 65% smaller, used 77% less power, and weighs 82% less than its thermoelectric counterpart.

Per very early style of Roman architecture, the “opus quadratum” dates back onesto the time of the ancient Etruscans, before the beginning of the Roman Republic Like any other concrete, Roman concrete consists of aggregate and mortar. Per binder, such as gypsum, was used. What other type of binder was also used? Be careful, though. You don’t want onesto put this per your mojito! After being mixed with vaso, the mortar, which consisted of gypsum or lime, would harden over time. Per some areas pozzolana, also called pit sand, was used. It was common mediante ancient times for prominent Romans onesto construct tombs along the Appian Way. The original covering of the tomb sopra the picture has been removed preciso show the bare concrete. Placed at verso forty-five degree angle, the diamond-shaped bricks were normally made of tuff or tufa, which is verso rock made from consolidated volcanic ash pushed out during per volcanic eruption. “Opus” (term for verso piece of art) and “reticulatum” (net-like), translates preciso net-work; the design was named because the Romans believed the brickwork resembled a net.

Water is a precious commodity; life would not be possible without it. Looking out of the window in November you would be forgiven for thinking that we have plenty of water in the UK, but in fact Manchester gets less rain than Milan or Sydney. In spite of the heavy rain of recent times, the water supply in England remains under long-term threat. Tips to save water There are simple ways to cut consumption: - Do you have a water meter? This helps us stay aware of how much we are using, and rewards us for using less by cutting water bills; - Check for leaks on pipes and taps. If you do have a water meter, turn off all the taps and the main stop valve, where the water enters the building. Take two readings a couple of minutes apart. If there is any change in the reading you may have a leak; - Fix leaking taps and make sure they are fully turned off. - Lag your pipes. This saves on your heating bills, and prevents burst pipes in winter. But don’t insulate a loft floor underneath your water tank – it may freeze; - Save both water and electricity by only boiling as much water as you need, whilst making sure the electric heating element is fully covered; - Make sure sinks have plugs and use a bowl to wash up; - When replacing your washing machine or dishwasher, choose the most efficient type. Run them full but not over-full; - Collecting rainwater in a water butt, and use it for the garden. If we don’t learn to conserve, we’ll all be fish out of the water, and You Know the Result!!

The American Settlement Movement was an influential part of the social welfare reforms of the Progressive Era. In an era when America became an urban industrialized nation, the development of the settlement house was interwoven with that of the American city, and settlement workers, living and working among the poor in the city, were in the vanguard of a wide range of social welfare reform initiatives. This selective bibliography covers titles providing an introduction and overview of the American Settlement Movement. Arranged in six categories, the titles include materials pertaining to the influence of the English Settlement Movement on the United States, general surveys discussing the American Settlement Movement within the context of larger reform efforts, studies focused on the Settlement Movement, biographical titles, settlement workers' research and case studies, and reference works. The bibliography provides easy access to the literature of the American Settlement Movement.Barbuto, Domenica M. is the author of 'American Settlement Movement A Bibliography' with ISBN 9780313307560 and ISBN 0313307563.[read more] You can find lots of answers to common customer questions in our FAQs View a detailed breakdown of our shipping prices Learn about our return policy Still need help?

New Paper: Natural Nuclear Reactors & the Origin of Life Zach Adam recently published a paper titled “Temperature oscillations near natural nuclear reactor cores and the potential for prebiotic oligomer synthesis” in the journal Origins of Life and Evolution of Biospheres. Below is a short summary of his idea. This paper is about how complex geological energy transfer processes could have been on the early Earth. Most people don’t automatically think about nuclear fission reactors when they think about radioactive rocks. One reason is because we have this idea that rocks that contain elements like Uranium have to be highly processed and refined to create nuclear fuel. Another reason is because we think that reactors have to be designed, engineered and constructed by human thought. But the young Earth was a very different place and time in our history. When Earth first formed, Uranium-bearing rocks at this time naturally contained so much fission fuel that processing the natural rock was not needed. And because this fission fuel was so abundant, you didn’t have to carefully design a reactor, you just needed to add water to sediments that happened to have some small amount of Uranium and a fission process would begin. We know this is true because we’ve found fossils of fission reactors that formed in geologic deposits about 2 billion years ago in Gabon, Africa. In this paper, we take the reactor idea a step further to look at how a Uranium fission zone would have heated up and cooled down in cycles for hundreds of thousands of years. Like a pressure cooker, this would have heated and cooled prebiotic molecules in a very regular way, since the peak temperature would have been limited by the boiling temperature of water (once the water boils out of the system, the fission process stops and the zone cools down until the process repeats). This temperature profile resembles, in some ways, the temperature profile that we use today in polymerase chain reaction (PCR) devices to artificially amplify RNA and DNA sequences. The main conclusion of the paper is to emphasize that processes that seem very engineered, complex and artificial to us today may have had naturally-occurring geologic counterparts on the early Earth. These geologic processes could have helped to produce complex organic molecules that could have eventually become living systems.

Researchers at the University of Washington (UW) have developed a system that uses machine-learning algorithms to construct and animate three-dimensional (3D) models of celebrities based solely on large numbers of photographs. Current 3D modeling technology, such as that used by major film studios, requires a painstaking process to capture every angle of a person's face and movements. The system designed by the UW researchers is meant to be much simpler. It combines several techniques developed over the last five years by a research group led by UW professor Ira Kemelmacher. The techniques include advances in 3D face reconstruction, tracking, alignment, multi-texture modeling, and puppeteering. The system works by feeding at least 200 images of an individual, taken over time in various scenarios and poses, to machine-learning algorithms. The raw data is then used to create the 3D model, which can then be animated so it mimics a given person's distinctive traits. The researchers say the technology could some day be used to create 3D models of absent loved ones or celebrities that people could interact with as though they were real.

Understanding How Your Skin Works Your skin is amazing. It’s a constantly changing, dynamic and adaptable living organ. It can adapt in an instant, responding to differences in the environment, temperature and light. It is highly sensitive to heat, vibration, movement and pressure, and it protects us – from bumps and cold weather, to microorganisms and ultraviolet radiation. Our skin is an amazing organ and it probably does much more then we give it credit for. As the body’s largest organ, human skin is responsible for: EXCRETION (the skin eliminates sweat, salt, and wastes from the body, therefore helping remove toxins from the internal systems). SENSATION (feelings generated by the nerve endings just under the outer layer of the skin make you aware of heat, cold, touch, pain and pressure. The reaction to a sensation is called a reflex). RESPIRATION (to breathe, the skin takes in oxygen through its pores and releases carbon dioxide). HYDRATION (The skin contains water to keep itself soft and supple. It secretes perspiration and an oily, sebaceous fluid that maintains the skin’s moisture balance). ABSORPTION (the skin permits certain substances like water and oxygen to pass through its tissues) REGULATION (the skin helps maintain the body’s temperature). PROTECTION (the skin shields your body from the direct impact of heat, cold, bacteria, and other aspects of the environment that could be detrimental to your health). SYNTHESIS: production of "Vitamin D" by the action of UV is another major function of the skin. Skin pH and Acid Mantle Sweat is a salty, watery solution produced by sweat glands, numerous microscopic channels opening onto the skin surface. As sebum and sweat mix up on the skin surface, they form a protective layer often referred to as the acid mantle. Acid mantle has a particular level of acidity characterized by pH from about 4 to 5.5. A pH of 7 is considered neutral, above 7 is alkaline, and below is acidic. The skin secretes sebum (oil) and sweat (99% water and 1% salt, uric acid, urea, ammonia and lactic acid). This combination of oil and water makes up our ACID MANTEL. In addition to helping protect skin from "the elements"

Opiate addiction spreading, becoming more complex The growing availability of heroin, combined with programs aimed at curbing prescription painkiller abuse, may be changing the face of opiate addiction in the U.S., according to sociologists.23 Aug 2015 While heroin abuse is still relatively rare, the use of the drug is not only increasing, but it is now being coupled with the abuse of prescription painkillers, said Shannon Monnat, assistant professor of rural sociology, demography, and sociology, Penn State. She added that the heroin-prescription drug combination is also hitting groups that were not traditionally viewed as widespread opiate users. "One of the things we've found is that the simultaneous use of heroin and prescription painkillers together has increased dramatically among whites and especially among young white men," said Monnat, who worked with Khary K. Rigg, assistant professor of mental health law and policy, University of Southern Florida. Monnat described the recent trend as a domino effect of addiction that began in the 1980s and 1990s when the over-prescription of painkillers led to an increase in addiction to those drugs. "Over the last several years there have been more restrictions put in place, including prescription-drug monitoring programs and the introduction of a tamper-proof opioid, making it difficult to crush, liquefy and inject the substance," said Monnat. "What this has done is restrict access to prescription painkillers for people who previously became addicted to them. These people sometimes transition into heroin, which has become incredibly cheap and easily accessible." Some addicts who were introduced to heroin also turn to abusing both painkillers and heroin at the same time. While most opiate addicts are still addicted to only painkillers, the number of addicts using heroin and the number of users who are addicted to both painkillers and heroin are increasing faster than painkiller-only abusers.

This is the VOA Special English Education Report. This week is the sixtieth anniversary of the Fulbright Program of international educational exchanges. On August first, nineteen forty-six, President Harry Truman signed legislation to create the program. Fulbright grants are given to graduate students, to scholars and professionals, and to teachers and administrators. Today about six thousand people each year receive grants. People come to the United States to study or teach, while Americans go to other countries. The Fulbright program operates in about one hundred fifty countries. Around two hundred seventy-five thousand people have taken part over the years. Some have gone on to become Nobel Prize winners and leaders in areas like business, technology and politics. Those who take part in the program are called Fulbright scholars or "Fulbrighters." They receive money for travel, education and living costs. The program is paid for by the United States government and by foreign governments and private groups. Thomas Farrell is a deputy assistant secretary in the State Department which supervises the program. He says that right now the number of American students who want to spend a year as a Fulbright scholar is at the highest point ever. And, he says, so is the number of Fulbright scholarships they are being awarded. The number is close to one thousand two hundred a year. In nineteen forty-six of Arkansas proposed the legislation to create the program. At that time, just after World War Two, he saw the idea as a way to improve world understanding. Senator Fulbright thought exchanges would help people better understand other ways of life as well as their own. He believed the program could educate future world leaders. You can learn more about the program online from the Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs at the State Department. We have a link to the Web site at voaspecialenglish.com, where you can also download archives of our reports and listen online. And that's the VOA Special English Education Report, written by Nancy Steinbach. A program note -- in September we will begin our Foreign Student Series.

Was a member of the 44th Bomb Group in England as a B-24 Liberator pilot. On his 20th mission, March 18, 1944, his plane was heavily damaged by flak, and the injured crew bailed out near Switzerland. Narrowly avoiding capture by the Germans, Cardenas was interned by the Swiss. In May, he escaped to France and returned to England in October. Major Cardenas’ roles included Chief of the Bomber Operations Section of the Flight Test Division upon graduating from the Experimental Flight Test School in November of 1944 where he tested, evaluated, and gathered data on U.S. and captured German aircraft. On February 9, 1949, Cardenas flew the YB-49 from Muroc to Andrews Air Force Base, setting a transcontinental non-stop flight record. After attending Air Command and Staff School, in 1950, Cardenas completed his engineering degree and was assigned to Naha Air Base, Japan as Commander of the 51st Fighter-Interceptor Wing. For the next two years, he engaged in F-105 combat operations over Southeast Asia. Commanded the 835th Air Division at McConnell Air Force Base in July 1966 , training pilots for Vietnam combat. Deputy Chief of Staff for LIVE OAK, a NATO group that maintained Allied access to the divided city of Berlin.

The calmness of cats can delight many people, but when you try to wet your pet, he will immediately show remarkable aggression and will be able to bite and scratch anyone who tries to disturb the cat’s peace. The question becomes obvious, why do cats react so negatively to water and where does a huge number of videos appear on the Internet where cats lie in a peaceful state in the bathroom or sink with water? In order to see the full potential of pet aggression, it is enough to dip the cat in water. Water getting into the ears Comparing the cat’s ears with her body, it becomes clear that they are quite large. The probability of water entering the ear is incredibly high. The ear also has a fairly deep, internal channel. Removing water from the ear can be problematic. In this case, the infection that got into the water can also get into the brain. Many cats, who are not averse to swimming, still protect their ears on a subconscious level. The undercoat in the cat’s fur provides little protection from moisture. The wet undercoat has the effect of a wet T-shirt and will retain moisture for a long time. At a low temperature outside, hypothermia is likely to occur, and its consequences can be unpredictable. Staying in good shape Long and wet hair can significantly reduce the mobility of the animal and restrict its movement. Despite the fact that cats are semi—domestic animals, their natural instincts imply their constant readiness to confront danger. To do this, the cat must remain in good physical shape, be ready to run away or fight, as it happens in the wild. The smell of water Seals have an increased sensitivity to various odors. The smell of water, as well as the odors of chemicals contained in it, repel animals from coming into contact with this substance. There are exceptions Some cat breeds, such as Maine Coons, are very fond of swimming. Since ancient times, these huge pets have been fighting mice and rats on sailboats and feel very good while in the water, and also do not mind swimming a lot. The Turkish Van has a unique coat that simply does not retain moisture. These seals love to swim, and their owners often purchase specialized pools for them. Leave a Comment

Courses fulfilling the CIT Requirement, though different in topics and approaches, generally will aim for depth of engagement into a few theologically rich areas of the tradition rather than breadth of coverage of all the areas of theology. They will all explore such questions as: - What is the meaning of human nature? - What is the best human life to live? - What is the nature of the universe? - What is the place of human beings in the universe? - What are possible responses to meaninglessness, pain, loss, and evil? - How ought humans to live as a community and for what purpose? - How have humans imagined holiness, goodness, and beauty and for what purpose? - How can humans live authentically in a globalized and pluralistic world? - How can humans live sustainable lives in a harmed and precarious global environment? - How do notions of God and religious faith inform responses to all of these questions? - Critical inquiry. Engage with the rich traditions and questions that both emerged from and shaped Catholicism. - Dialogue and discourse. Engage in conversation a range of theological, philosophical historical, or contemporary issues and make meaningful connections to public and/or scholarly discourse. - Critical reading and analysis. Develop the ability to contextualize and critically analyze primary and secondary sources in print and electronic formats. - Argument and expression. Develop the ability to set forth clear, well-supported, and persuasive arguments, orally and in writing. Develop the ability to write essays that reflect knowledge of essential facts and a command of analytical and writing skills.

Saint Bede the Venerable Bede the Venerable lived his life in the darkest of times and was indeed a light shining in that darkness. Bede loved the Lord Jesus and devoted his life to the study and translation of Scripture. He himself commented on over twenty-five Books of Scripture. As the barbarians in Rome were burning books, Bede was recording them. In Bede's commentary on Revelation, he praised Jesus as "The Morning Star." These words form the focus for the center of our Altar Cross. It is our conviction that the words of St. Bede incorporated into this sculpture are exhibited in only two places in the world: over the tomb of the Saint in Durham, England, and in our nave over the altar where we meet our Lord. Christ is the Morning Star who when the night of this world is past brings to his saints the promise of the light of life and opens everlasting day. Bede: Revelation 2:28 The Icon of the Venerable Bede shown here was written by Br. Kenneth Hosley, OPC, of the Order of St. Anthony the Great in commemoration of the Jubilee Year (2010) of St. Bede's Episcopal Church, Atlanta, Georgia. The central figure is St. Bede the Venerable. He is surronded by ornamentation from the Book of Kells and the monasteries of Jarrow and Wearmouth in which he lived as a monk and priest. The inset icons are of Sts. Aidan of Lindisfarne, Hilda of Whitby, and Cuthbert. Bede is illuminated from above by Christ the Morning Star, just as Bede referenced in his famous work The Ecclesiastical History of the English People, which he is shown here writing. Each saint is represented in the colors of the liturgical seasons which follow England's transition from Celtic Christianity that came from Ireland into the Roman form that came from Europe. It is this story of transition that Bede so remarkably documented in his Ecclesiastical History. Monday - Thursday 9:30 - Noon and by appointment

Home Sustainable Home The Archetype Sustainable House at the Kortright Centre in Vaughan opens to the public on Earth Day, April 22, 2009. This semi-detached, single-family dwelling one of two features JELD-WEN window and door products and showcases environmentally sustainable design and materials. The two houses serve as models of the next generation of green homes. “We’re really excited to be a part of this project,” says Sante Cigana, vice president of JELD-WEN Windows and Doors. “The building focuses on recycled, renewable and durable materials that reduce ecological impact. Those are elements that we’re very conscious of in all of our products.” As a leader in environmental stewardship and product design, JELD-WEN has donated energy-efficient windows and exterior doors to the Archetype Sustainable House. The construction called for building materials with an ENERGY STAR appropriate rating to reduce heat load and energy consumption. The donation includes Custom Wood, metal-clad windows and doors made with Low E and Argon-filled triple-pane glass. “Sustainable design is applied throughout the house,” says interior designer Terrell Wong, one of three women that conceived the home. “Low VOC and durable materials reduce detrimental ecological impact, create healthy indoor environments and long-lasting buildings.” The Archetype Sustainable House is a leader in LEED construction and once the project is completed, will become a model for energy efficient, renewable and sustainable buildings and materials.

A rose-colored bird with an unforgettable beak and black wings with white patches is spending time at Jean Brougton’s feeders in Morgans Walke in Virginia Beach. A white-winged crossbill, the bird has migrated farther south than usual because it’s a bad year for conifers in the north. The trees are not bearing enough cones to keep these seed eaters well fed. Their unusual beaks where the top crosses over the bottom are especially adapted for wresting seeds out of pine, hemlock and other cones. Crossbills are like the red-breasted nuthatches that also have come south for pinecone seeds and more this winter. The white-winged crossbill looks almost like its cousin, the red crossbill, also a cheerful rosy bird. But the white wing patches on the white-winged crossbill are the giveaway. Female white wingeds are pale greenish-yellow, but they have the same black and white wings and odd crossed bill. Broughton has had her visitor since the middle of November and it appears at her feeder every few days. After hecking the rare bird alert maps, she said she thinks she may have the only crossbill in Virginia Beach, though the birds have shown up on the Eastern Shore.

One of the largest, most nationally representative studies of the effects of parenting on very young, deaf children who have received cochlear implants is being conducted by researchers led by University of Miami (UM) Psychologist Alexandra L. Quittner. The findings indicate that mothers who are most sensitive in their interactions with their children receiving cochlear implants have kids that develop language faster, almost "catching up" to their hearing peers. The report is published in the Journal of Pediatrics. "I was surprised that maternal sensitivity had such strong and consistent effects on oral language learning," says Quittner, director, Child Division in the Department of Psychology, at the UM College of Arts and Sciences. "The findings indicate that pediatric cochlear implant programs should offer parent training that facilitates a more positive parent-child relationship and fosters the child's development of autonomy and positive regard." Participants were 188 children with severe to profound loss of hearing, ages from five months to five years. In addition to analyzing the effects of maternal sensitivity, on language development, the study also looks at the impact of cognitive and language stimulation. Parent-child interactions observed and coded included free play, puzzle solving, and an art gallery task with five posters mounted at different heights on the walls of the playroom. The largest improvements in language development were observed in children whose parents displayed high sensitivity; Language stimulation was also an important predictor of language gains, but was most effective when delivered in a sensitive manner. Deaf children with sensitive parents had only a 1 year delay in oral language compared to. 2.5 years among those with less sensitive parents. This cohort of deaf and hearing children has now been followed for approximately 8 years post-implantation; NIH has just funded the competitive renewal, allowing the researchers to follow them for another 5 years, into adolescence. The aims will focus on their cognitive and social development, as well as their academic achievement.

Our pupils access a broad and balanced curriculum which is differentiated to meet individual learning needs. We aim to develop confident, independent and inquisitive learners, who will become active members of their community. We acknowledge our special responsibility in preparing young people for life in modern Britain. Lessons are taught in small groups (averaging 7 pupils) by teachers with experience working with children with language and communication difficulties. In addition to this, Learning Support Assistants enable learners to receive significant individual attention. Modified language and visual approaches are used so that children can understand and develop the language that they need for learning. Visual approaches to teaching can also support learning and development of vocabulary. Speech and language therapists work closely with teachers to understand and support each child’s difficulties and strengths. Where appropriate teachers and Speech and language therapists plan and deliver some lessons collaboratively, and work together to help students develop curriculum language. With specialist teaching and integrated speech and language therapy, students who have difficulties with language and communication find that they can access the curriculum, make progress and see enjoy learning. A modified National Curriculum is taught with the core curriculum of English, Maths, Science and Computing/ICT being taught alongside Religious Education, Humanities, Drama, Art, Music, Design & Technology, Food Technology, PSHE and P.E and Spanish. Pupils also participate in enrichment activities weekly which offer the opportunity for them to develop communication and social skills .

Using machine learning, a computer model can teach itself to smell in just a few minutes. When it does, researchers have found, it builds a neural network that closely mimics the olfactory circuits that animal brains use to process odors. Animals from fruit flies to humans all use essentially the same strategy to process olfactory information in the brain. But neuroscientists who trained an artificial neural network to take on a simple odor classification task were surprised to see it replicate biology’s strategy so faithfully. “The algorithm we use has no resemblance to the actual process of evolution,” says Guangyu Robert Yang, an associate investigator at MIT’s McGovern Institute for Brain Research, who led the work as a postdoc at Columbia University. The similarities between the artificial and biological systems suggest that the brain’s olfactory network is optimally suited to its task. Yang and his collaborators, who reported their findings Oct. 6 in the journal Neuron, say their artificial network will help researchers learn more about the brain’s olfactory circuits. The work also helps demonstrate artificial neural networks’ relevance to neuroscience. “By showing that we can match the architecture [of the biological system] very precisely, I think that gives more confidence that these neural networks can continue to be useful tools for modeling the brain,” says Yang, who is also an assistant professor in MIT’s departments of Brain and Cognitive Sciences and Electrical Engineering and Computer Science. Mapping natural olfactory circuits For fruit flies, the organism in which the brain’s olfactory circuitry has been best mapped, smell begins in the antennae. Sensory neurons there, each equipped with odor receptors specialized to detect specific scents, transform the binding of odor molecules into electrical activity. When an odor is detected, these neurons, which make up the first layer of the olfactory network, signal to the second layer: a set of neurons that reside in a part of the brain called This article is trimmed, please visit the source to read the full article.

Radon and Lung Cancer Among non-smokers, radon is the number one cause of lung cancer, according to the Environmental Protection Agency. It’s estimated that this gas is responsible for over 20,000 lung cancer deaths every year. It is such a cause for concern that the U.S. Surgeon General issued a national health advisory in 2005. What is Radon? Radon is a radioactive gas produced when thorium, uranium, and radium break down in soil and bedrock. Radon enters a building through cracks in the foundation and gaps around pipes. It builds up inside the building because it gets trapped within the structure’s walls. You can’t taste or smell radon, so you won’t notice it inside your home, office, or school. It’s estimated that one in every 15 homes have unhealthy levels of radon. Radon isn’t an issue to take lightly, because it contributes to lung cancer. Testing for Radon in the Home A homeowner can purchase testing kits at a hardware store, however, professional testing will deliver the best results. Hire a home inspector who specializes in radon testing to perform the test. A home inspector will be well-trained in administering the test and in interpreting the results. Mitigating Radon in the Home If your test shows high levels of radon gas, contact a qualified mitigation contractor. This professional will design a system to reduce the amount of the gas in your living spaces. There is a significant link between radon and lung cancer. Have your home tested and call a professional if you need to reduce the levels in your home. ARK Inspections offers home inspection services, including radon testing, to the Twin Cities.

TUESDAY, June 10, 2014 (HealthDay News) -- A new study links a gene variant found in Latinos to a fivefold increase in the risk of type 2 diabetes, potentially explaining why the condition is especially common in Latino people. In Mexico, for instance, an estimated 14 percent of adults had type 2 diabetes in 2006. The condition is also common among Latino people worldwide. In the new study, researchers studied DNA samples from almost 3,800 Latinos -- including Latinos from the United States and Mexicans -- who were recruited from 1993 to 2013. Of the participants, about 1,800 had type 2 diabetes and the rest, nearly 2,000 people, did not. One type of DNA found from this group was further tested in a group of more than 14,000 people. This rare genetic variant was found in slightly over 2 percent of those with type 2 diabetes and just 0.36 percent of those without diabetes. That means that the gene was associated with about a five times increased risk of developing type 2 diabetes, the study authors reported in the June 11 issue of the Journal of the American Medical Association. However, the association between the gene variant and increased risk of diabetes found in the study does not prove a cause-and-effect relationship. "Further research is warranted to evaluate the clinical relevance of these findings," Karol Estrada, from the Broad Institute of Harvard and MIT, and colleagues wrote in an institute news release. The study team recommended that researchers look into the potential benefits of screening for diabetes using this genetic variant, or at the possibility of developing gene-based treatments.

An important question in group decision-making situations is how to estimate the consensus achieved within the group of decision makers. Dictionary meaning of consensus is a general and unanimous agreement among a group of individuals. However, most of the approaches deal with a more realistic situation of partial agreement. Defining a partial agreement of decision makers as a consensus up to some degree, the following question is how to obtain that soft degree of consensus. To do so, different approaches, in which the decision makers express their opinions by using symmetrical and uniformly distributed linguistic term sets, have been proposed. However, there exist situations in which the opinions are represented using unbalanced fuzzy linguistic term sets, in which the linguistic terms are not uniform and symmetrically distributed around the midterm. The aim of this paper was to study how to adapt the existing approaches obtaining soft consensus measures to handle group decision-making situations in which unbalanced fuzzy linguistic information is used. In addition, the advantages and drawbacks of these approaches are analyzed. |Number of pages||14| |Publication status||Published - Jun 1 2017| - Group decision making - Unbalanced fuzzy linguistic information ASJC Scopus subject areas - Theoretical Computer Science - Geometry and Topology

The human body is a complex system. It has a natural ability to grow and develop over time, as well as adapt to the frequent changes in the surroundings. The complexity associated with it and the various processes it undergoes lie in its structure and functionality. Complex chemical reactions play a central role in the evolution of structure and organization of this complex adaptive system, which are inherently directed along the paths of maximum entropy production. Entropy production causes a system to degrade itself by the gradual consumption of free-energy to a more thermodynamically-stable state. However, the human body, and open systems in general, have a tendency to preserve or increase order and complexity with time. This phenomenon of spontaneous appearance of order is known as self-organization. Thus, the human body has a structure and several underlying functions that give rise to organization. Simultaneously, it prevents the destruction of this state of organization by self-organizing itself with time. In the following chapter, we will look into the details of (self) organization from a physical and an information perspective, in order to see the relationship between complexity and the growth in organization of a system with time. Further, understanding the concept of (self) organization from a functional perspective is also important as it will allow us to relate metabolic reaction-sets to structural symmetry, metabolites to interacting nodes, and mapping these interactions into complex networks. Finally, our aim will be to relate ageing to the loss of energy, information, organization and functionality of the human body with time. Keywords: Complexity, Dissipative Systems, Principle of Least Action, Second Law of Thermodynamics.

More than a year after COVID-19 vaccines first became available, roughly half of the global population has been vaccinated, and data suggests massive disparities in access to these life-saving tools. Moderna chief medical officer Dr. Paul Burton told the PBS NewsHour’s chief correspondent Amna Nawaz on Thursday that the company isn’t enforcing its patent “during the pandemic phase” in case “other people want to produce the vaccine” and get more people vaccinated around the world. But, as Nawaz clarified, that’s not the same thing as waiving the patents, which would enable more countries to make their own vaccines. While Moderna has donated hundreds of millions of doses to increase vaccination rates in underserved countries, critics say they could be doing more, such as sharing intellectual property so local supplies can be manufactured more readily. To expand vaccine access at this point in the pandemic, Burton said local distribution played a greater role than companies producing enough doses, and noted upcoming efforts to “produce a state-of-the-art manufacturing facility” to make doses for African nations. Overall, just one out of 10 people in low-income countries are estimated to have received a first COVID vaccine dose.

HOW DOES CBD WORK? CBD and THC interact with our bodies in a variety of ways. One of the main ways they impact us is by mimicking and augmenting the effects of the compounds in our bodies called “endogenous cannabinoids” – so named because of their similarity to the compounds found in the cannabis plant. These “endocannabinoids” are part of a regulatory system called the “endocannabinoid system”. The discovery of the endocannabinoid system has significantly advanced our understanding of health and disease. It has major implications for nearly every area of medical science and helps to explain how and why CBD and THC are such versatile compounds – and why cannabis is such a widely consumed mood-altering plant, despite its illegal status. The endocannabinoid system plays a crucial role in regulating a broad range of physiological processes that affect our everyday experience – our mood, our energy level, our intestinal fortitude, immune activity, blood pressure, bone density, glucose metabolism, how we experience pain, stress, hunger, and more. What happens if the endocannabinoid system doesn’t function properly? What are the consequences of a chronically deficient or overactive endocannabinoid system? In a word, disease. Cutting-edge science has shown that the endocannabinoid system is dysregulated in nearly all pathological conditions. Thus, it stands to reason that “modulating endocannabinoid system activity may have therapeutic potential in almost all diseases affecting humans,” as Pal Pacher and George Kunos, scientists with the U.S. National Institutes of Health (NIH), suggested in a 2014 publication. By modulating the endocannabinoid system and enhancing endocannabinoid tone, CBD and THC can slow – or in some cases stop – disease progression.

Notes from the session at SXSWEDU: Remix your Learning Experience Design Process Led by: Martin Moran & Lindsey Own Session designed for K12 educators, provided insights that are aligned with my own work with faculty in the learning design process in higher education. Start the conversation with educator by asking “what is the cool thing that you are doing?” Kindergartners may remember every student creating a windsock but they may not understand the “why they did it”. No student choice. Ensure that you are tying the objectives and outcomes to the process. Instead of everyone creating a windsock let’s let the students create a way to measure the wind. And allow them to test what they create and iterate on their designs. Back up and ask “Why” “What do you want your learners to understand and be able to do upon completion of this activity?” - Can visualizations be helpful? - Can “what if’s” help in thinking about this? - Is there a way to connect this to the community? After reframing the lesson there can be incredible learning gains. During the session the leaders had us think about the 10 core elements of an innovative learning experience and identify which were our greatest strengths and our weaknesses. We then relocated around the room to group into these categories and look for those who we could work with that had the strength to pull from. Then we worked in groups to move through the design thinking process (a short version). Design Thinking Steps: Redesign Process Empathize: Question to understand needs of the teacher and students understand, pros and cons of existing activities. Define: “Needs” statement, including basic learning objectives. Ideate: Brainstorm through different types of learning pathways. Prototype: Plan for maximizing “core elements” Iterate: Adjust on the fly, take notes for future years. The image above is a slide from my presentation: Using Design Thinking in the Course Redesign process that was developed for iDesignEDU while working with a partner University.

“There is a profound difference between management and leadership, and both are important. To manage means to bring about, to accomplish, to have charge of or responsibility for, to conduct. Leading is influencing, guiding in a direction, course, action, opinion. The distinction is crucial”. In his 1989 book “On Becoming a Leader, Warren Bennis composed a list of the differences between managers and leaders for added clarification: – The manager administers; the leader innovates. – The manager is a copy; the leader is an original. – The manager maintains; the leader develops. – The manager focuses on systems and structure; the leader focuses on people. – The manager relies on control; the leader inspires trust. – The manager has a short-range view; the leader has a long-range perspective. – The manager asks how and when; the leader asks what and why. – The manager has his or her eye always on the bottom line; the leader’s eye is on the horizon. – The manager imitates; the leader originates. – The manager accepts the status quo; the leader challenges it. – The manager is the classic good soldier; the leader is his or her own person. – The manager does things right; the leader does the right thing. This is a good distinction for us consultants to internalize. Consultants are not managers. We’re leaders. Sure, we can help empower the managers we work with. We even can be one of many leaders within the companies we work for. But as Warren Bennis said, the distinction is crucial. Be a leader.
