“Paranoia is just a heightened sense of awareness”
We are still offering our support group once a week, giving you the best support and advice possible.
Coventry – Wednesdays, 1pm – 3pm
Leicester – Thursdays, 2pm – 4pm
It’s important that we provide you with the support you need, so we are focussing our sessions on topic requests by students.
This week focussed on paranoia, what is it? How can it affect you? How can you control it?
The word paranoid is thrown around quite a lot these days, so we wanted to look at what this actually means.
Paranoia is thinking and feeling like you are being threatened in some way, even if there is no evidence, or very little evidence, that you are. Paranoid thoughts can also be described as delusions. There are lots of different kinds of threats you might be scared and worried about.
What things can you be paranoid about?
It is different for everyone, so you might have a different experience of paranoia compared to your friend. Here are some examples of common types of paranoid thoughts:
- Being talked about behind your back
- Others trying to make you look bad or exclude you
- You think you are at risk of being harmed or killed
- People are using hints and double meaning to secretly threaten you or make you feel bad
- Other people are deliberately trying to upset or irritate you
- People are trying to take your money or possessions
- Your actions or thoughts are being interfered with by others
- You are being controlled or that the government is targeting you
How can you help yourself?
If you are experiencing paranoid thoughts, there are things you can do yourself to cope. You may choose to try them on their own or alongside treatment.
- Keep a diary
- Question and challenge your paranoid thoughts
- Look for support around you
- Learn to relax
- Look after yourself
This is such an in depth topic, with many elements, all of which you can find in our session content.
So, if you were unable to make it – or if you wanted a refresher- you can download the content here.
If you feel you need help or support, please contact firstname.lastname@example.org | 476 |
<issue_start><issue_comment>Title: Repress logs for unfound ticket lookups.
username_0: The error string created by the dcrwallet JSON-RPC gettransaction when a
transaction is not found changed in the 1.3.0 release. This change modifies
stakepoold to repress the newly-formatted errors from being logged.
While here, include a gofmt fix from Go 1.11.
<issue_comment>username_1: I suggest merging this. It is correct. | 124 |

Answer the following question: Title: Takes 5/8 or 7/8 arbor wheels (I think) Review: The grinding wheel that comes with it has a 7/8" arbor hole, but the grinder arbor is 5/8." There is a backing plate with a raised portion to enable acceptance of 7/8" wheels. However, THREADED 7/8" accessories won't work. I bought mine for wood carving with a Lancelot, which has a 5/8" arbor hole, which is very thick, and which required me to pull off the backing plate. Said plate is hard to remove (very tight fit; requires pliers) and first-time users might not even know that it is removable.I'll write more later; just thought I should get this on the record in case someone needs to know, as it's not explained well in the manual. I've only had this thing a short time; so far, so good. No reason not to give it 5 stars if it pans out.PS. I published the identical review for the reconditioned model, which is the one I bought, but everything I had to say about that applies to, and is useful for, this one. Does this product review convey a negative or positive sentiment?

This node implements an audio limiter. Limiters are very useful to avoid clipping of a signal when the signal's amplitude leaves its allowed range between -1 and 1. For example, clipping is a typical problem when multiple audio sources are added together to generate a mix. Trivial solutions to avoid clipping would be either to clamp the signal to the range [-1,1], which might introduce strong distortion, or to scale down the amplitude of the complete signal linearly, which reduce the perceived loudness.
In contrast, a dynamic range limiter avoids clipping by a non-linear scaling that effects only large amplitudes above a certain threshold and leaves smaller amplitudes intact. Thereby, the limiter allows to control how smoothly the scaling factor (gain) is changing over time.
The images below shows typical characteristics of the applied non-linear scaling function. The left curve is call soft-knee characteristic due to its soft transition in the area around the threshold. The right one is call hard-knee characteristic.
Because loudness is perceived linear in logarithmic units, the scaling function is applied after conversion to the logarithmic decibel (dB) scale. The characteristic maps an input value on the x-axis (in dB) to a value on the y-axis (in dB). In this example, the threshold is -10 dB. Therefore, all input values above -10 db are mapped to -10 dB after the characteristic is applied.
Knee width (default: 0 dB): The width of the soft-knee in dB. A value of 0 dB, generates a hard-knee characteristic.
Attack time (default: 0 sec): Attack time in seconds. This parameter controls how fast the limiter is responding to a signal value above the threshold. A value of 0 seconds means that the limiter react immediately and the output is guaranteed to stay below the threshold. Because of this property, limiters with an attack time of 0 seconds are also called "brickwall" limiters. A longer attach time means that the gain is changed more slowly. This has the advantage of a less abrupt gain change, but values above the threshold can occur.
The implementation of the dynamic range limiter follows the feed-forward design from Josh Reiss's tutorial, which proposes a 6-step side-chain that computes the final gain factor for each input sample. The following figure illustrates the internal signals after each side-chain step for a test input signal.
where $x$ is a sample of the input signal. As can be seen in the figure above, an amplitude in range [-1,1] will result in a $x_{dB}$ less than or equal to zero, whereas the problematic values outside this range, which would cause clipping, have a $x_{dB}$ larger than zero.
Thereby, the threshold $T$ and the knee width $W$ are specified in dB. For example, in the figure above a hard knee characteristic ($W=0\, \mathrm{dB}$) with a threshold of $T = -10\,\mathrm{dB}$ is applied.
In this step the gain is smoothed over time using a single pole recursive low-pass filter. Two different filter coefficents $\alpha$ and $\beta$ are applied, where the filter coefficent $\alpha$ is controlled by the attack time and $\beta$ is controlled by the release time.
For the example in the figure above, the attack time is selected to be 0 seconds, resulting in an $\alpha$ of zero, and therefore no smoothing is done while the required gain $x_{g}$ continiously gets lower at the beginning of the signal. A limiter with an attack time of 0 seconds is called "brickwall" limiter because it will always directly apply the required negative gain if the signal goes above the threshold. The release time is chosen as 0.2 seconds and, therefore, we can observe smoothing of the gain once the required gain $x_{g}$ gets higher.
Typically, because input amplitudes above the threshold are suppressed, the output signal has a reduced loudness. To compensate for this loss, additional make-up gain can be applied. The amount of make-up gain can be determined by computing how much loss would be realized by the characteristic for an amplitude of 1.0, corresponding to 0 dB.
In the example in the figure above, the threshold is $T = -10\,\mathrm{dB}$ and, thus, the gain is raised by $10\,\mathrm{dB}$ for the complete signal.
The resulting final gain $g$ is the output of the side-chain and is multiplied with the current sample of the input signal. | 990 |

When you teach your child a foreign language, you give them the gift of the entire world that speaks it.
Foreign language education is a key componant of raising a globally aware child. And for those of us who remember struggling through French class in high school, we know it’s way easier to learn at a younger age.
But what if you’re not bilingual yourself? No worries.
You can still give your child a great foreign language education—-and learn one yourself!
Be prepared to learn together.
If you don’t already speak the language you plan to teach your child, pick one you want to learn yourself.
Instead of teaching your child’s second language, you’re really learning with your child.
But if you’ve been homeschooling for a while, you probably already know that learning is part of the teaching process.
Start with baby books.
Even if you have an older elementary student, begin with baby books written in the language you want to learn.
Think about it: This is how native speakers begin studying their language. So, it makes sense for you to start there, too.
Usually, baby books focus on nouns. Learn to write, read, speak and understand atleast 100 before moving on.
Incorporate words routinely into everyday life.
Begin to work on words and phrases used routinely everyday. Things like:
Start with one, and find a way to incorporate it into your daily routine. For example, say bonjour or nǐ hǎo every morning to greet your child, and encourage your child to say it back.
Become completely comfortable before adding a new word into your routine, and continue to build on it.
Utilize language programs.
This probably seems obvious, but it’s worth noting that language programs like Babble and Rosetta Stone are extremely effective ways to learn a language.
Find one you like and use it regularly.
Use it as a basis for language learning, but don’t use it exclusively. The more well-rounded your foreign language teaching method, the more likely it is to stick.
Switch language/subtitles on the television.
Once your child becomes increasingly comfortable speaking in the chosen language, try choosing a movie they know well.
Switch the spoken language to your chosen language in the language settings, and add subtitles in the foreign language.
This dramatically improves their reading/listening comprehension very, very quickly.
Encourage them to watch the same movie over and over, looking up 5-10 words each time to memorize.
This is also a great way to make productive use of screen time.
Find a native speaker.
If you know someone who speaks the language, by all means, use this resource anyway you can.
But if you don’t, there are lots of ways to connect with people online who are trying to learn English, and you should have no trouble finding a language exchange partner.
A lot of worldschoolers want to drop their kids right into full immersion to learn a language.
There’s nothing wrong with that approach.
But it does take longer and it can be easy to fall into problematic language habits.
I recommend laying the groundwork before you plan to take your homeschooler abroad.
Give yourself several months, or even a year. But once you feel like your child knows the basics solidly, nothing improves their vocabulary and fluency like taking a trip to visit the land of your language’s native speakers. | 738 |
> Sure ok, they report about it, but what are they actually doing to stop them?
I do realize that, and I'm not too happy with that either. My country Belgium has suspended all weapons exports to Saudi Arabia, but that's a very small drop and barely even noticeable. Still, reporting about it is at least better than ignoring the problem entirely, isn't it? This way it gets integrated into the political discourse, people start to talk about it, action can be taken from there.
> the fact that Serbia lost 29% of total population in WW1, then WW2. Nobody takes anything of that into consideration when they talk about the war and the mentality of people here.
Yeah tell me something, the town where my family is from was entirely decimated in WW1, as were other towns in the vicinity. WW2 also did a number on my family, multiple members ended up in Ravensbrück, where they were subsequently shot in death marches. Despite this, I have no desire for revenge on Germany, although I am ofcourse aware that these events are not even close to as recent as Yugoslavia.
> your argument about somebody butchering our people is that we should just go with , nah mate, let them butcher us, not like Germans and Turks butchered us for the past 600 years, we shouldn't retaliate becasue we gotta hold moral high ground here.
That is a gross misrepresentation of what I said. Not retaliating does not equal letting someone butcher you. It is possible to put up resistance without straight up slaughtering entire villages.
> You saying he is nothing but a butcher is wrong on so many levels because that way you just ignore all the other things he did for our people.
Is saying Hitler is a butcher wrong on so many levels, even though he temporarily created jobs? Is saying Stalin is a butcher wrong on so many levels, even though he effectively brought the Soviet Union into the 20th century?
> Also if he is going to get life sentence , how are Bosniak and Croatian and Albanian generals not getting lifes in prison . Just go and look up how much more Serbians are locked up in Hague than any other nationality, that is not fair, but as I said the whole war was about to make Serbia look bad and depict us in a certain way and they did that .
Well, if evidence was provided for the Serbians committing atrocities, is it not normal to lock them up? Same goes for the Bosnians and Croatians. This is not a question of every side having an equal amount of people locked up, it's a question of justice being carried out against war criminals. May I also suggest growing out of this victim complex? You know damn well that the war wasn't fought just to make Serbia look bad, it was about independence and self-determination.
> And to answer your question about does on group butchering people justify revenge butchery, I say yes , yes it does. Imagine if somebody harmed your mother or sister or wife or daugther and committed some atrocity , would you not want to to do that to them and revenge your family, and think deep about this one, because if you answer is anything but yes, you are lying to yourself .
Yeah, I couldn't disagree more. Creating a circle of violence that wlll never end won't solve a damn thing. But if you want to resort to a cycle of merciless killings in the name of honour or whatever it is your reason is, then don't be surprised when the people committing the killings get life in prison. Would I want revenge? Yes, but not by retaliation. Sure, it could be catharthic or whatever, but ultimately it won't solve the root of the problem. The revenge I'd love to see is them rotting away in prison for the rest of their miserable lives. And no, I'm not lying to myself, but nice try.
> My point is that none of you westerners or wherever you are from should make any comments on this subject or hold any moral high ground . Because whatever you say you will always be wrong simply because it is not your business to say waht is wrong and what is right.
So everyone who was not involved in the conflict should just shut up? Does this also mean that the Tribune of The Hague should just refrain from putting the war criminals on trial? | 933 |

username_0: I did exactly what you mentioned. Found this openmp tool to be very convenient and useful! I tried on my 4-core computer and the speed is really 3-4 times faster, with the utility of all the cores to be 100% when running. I don't see there's anything wrong about the output.
I will then test on my 16-core computer.
<issue_comment>username_1: I am not an expert on OpenVDB, so I don't know how to overcome this. Maybe OpenVDB has changed since 2016 and there is a safe way to write this code, but I haven't done the research. If you can convince me this is thread safe by pointing at OpenVDB documentation, then okay.
What I am suggesting is that you break up this work into multiple steps.
1. In the first step, you allocate a C++ array of float containing `vx*vy*vz` elements, where
```
vx = voxelrange_max.x() - voxelrange_min.x() + 1;
vy = voxelrange_max.y() - voxelrange_min.y() + 1;
vz = voxelrange_max.z() - voxelrange_min.z() + 1;
```
The array allocation statement could look like this:
```
auto voxels = std::make_unique<float[]>(vx * vy *vz);
```
I don't know how to directly allocate a 3 dimensional array in C++,
so I'm suggesting to allocate a 1-dimensional array with the correct number of elements,
then use arithmetic (multiplication and division) to convert the x,y,z coordinates to
offsets into the 1-dimensional array.
2. Then, you initialize this array using the current code that calls the distance function,
except that you are storing into the `voxels` array instead of modifying the OpenVDB grid.
Here, you will convert the 3 loop index variables (x, y, z) into an offset into the `voxels` array
using arithmetic. Let me known if this isn't clear.
3. Finally, you construct the OpenVDB grid and copy data from the voxels array into the grid.
<issue_comment>username_1: If the code I recommended is perhaps "even faster", then the explanation is that populating a densely packed voxel array is much more cache efficient than populating an OpenVDB grid.
I am glad that the performance is good for my recommended design, because this allows us to separate the code for building the voxel array from the code that interfaces with the mesh generating library, currently openvdb. That will help with the next step.
The next major change that I'd like to make to this code is to support multiple mesh generating libraries. OpenVDB produces defect free meshes, but it doesn't do edge detection, so sharp edges and corners are rounded off. There are other mesh generating libraries that do edge detection, which means that low-polygon meshes of sharp-edged models look much better. The tradeoff is that we lose the guarantee that the mesh is defect free. Since there is this tradeoff, I want to offer multiple mesh generation algorithms and let the user choose.
Anyway, the changes look good. Thanks.
<issue_comment>username_0: Thank you! :D
<issue_comment>username_2: Looks like this broke the build on macOS Big Sur. Here are a few things I ran into,
- need to update the doc to include `brew install libomp`
- added `set(THREADS_PREFER_PTHREAD_FLAG ON)` to resolve missing pthread issue
- libomp requires additonal makefile changes. see https://iscinumpy.gitlab.io/post/omp-on-high-sierra/. I'm not familiar with cmake at all so this is as far as I got.
<issue_comment>username_0: I think the problem is that we need to add a flag to the corresponding C++ compiler in mac. What I did in the CMakeLists for linux system is to add a -fopenmp flag for the gcc compiler.
Sorry I am not familiar with macOS... And I don't have a mac system to test on, so I can't help. Let's see what Doug will reply.
<issue_comment>username_1: Hi @username_2. Thanks for the bug report and detailed diagnosis. I changed the CMakeLists.txt file so that it "works for me". Let me know if you still have problems. I did not understand the reference to the "missing pthread issue" since I didn't get an error relating to that. I do have a brew formula called "libpthread-stubs" installed for some reason, maybe that is a difference between your system and mine?
<issue_comment>username_2: Thanks for the quick fix @username_1. Verified on Big Sur ✅
I also no longer get the "missing pthread.h" error. `brew install libomp` is still necessary. https://github.com/curv3d/curv/pull/113 | 1,259 |
But was Portugal any richer in 1500 than England in 1600?
Let us take the example of the first expeditions to India (1497, expedition of Vasco da Gama; 1500, expedition of Pedro Álvares Cabral; and 1505, expedition Francisco de Almeida). They were absurdly expensive, but the Crown still managed to organize them. The main goal of the first one was to establish trade with India, the second was to create a trading post there, and the third one was to establish a Vice-Royalty in India using the trading post as its headquarters. The goal was mainly commercial too, but with the Crown holding the monopoly of trade, not a company. There wasn’t either the idea of colonization as there were in the Portuguese America (like occupation of the territory and creating profit by administrating labor directly, without the middleman and without the negotiation with the Indian maharaja).
The Portuguese were *fast* and quite effective, despite being a country which wasn’t very populous or populated. I never understood Portugal as a especially rich country in 1500 also. So, was the English Crown in 1600 even poorer than the Portuguese in 1500 to not even attempt to follow the model of “colonization”/inter-continental trade of the Portuguese? | 269 |
Q: Best practice for building single window interface with four collection views I'm trying to build an interface that has two horizontally scrolling collection views, but I'm still torn between having two separate view controllers control their respective views or controlling the two views within the main view controller.
People, at least in the past, have said having a controller that controls only a fraction of the screen is not good practice. But I also have a feeling that's only a relic of pre-iOS 5 days.
The thing with controlling two rows of collection view is the data source object, in this case the main view controller, gets very confusing and it's hard to pass on data to subviews of collection views because I have to check which collection view is sending the message and such.
I asked a similar question in the past but the thread got blocked or something. Please don't. I don't see anything wrong with the question and I've been pulling my hair for so long.
Thanks
A: After a lot of hair pulling and experiments, and reading posts about table views embedded in other table views, it seems that the best way to do it is have one main view controller control all the subviews.
I tried adding collection view controllers as child view controllers, and setting the frame and layout and everything, but they will always end up weird. It does seem Apple doesn't allow for view controllers to control only a small portion (I may be wrong, but based on my experience with UICollectionViewController this is the case).
The problem with identifying which view is which in the data source methods, you can use the tag property.

Established in 1832, Rogers Corporation is engaged in the manufacture and sale of specialty materials. The company obtains the revenues from four segments namely Printed Circuit Materials (34%), High Performance Foams (23%), Custom Electrical Components (32%) and Other Polymer Products (11%). With over 5000 customers worldwide, most of its products are sold through direct sales channels with operations primarily in Asia, United States and Europe.
The global flexible circuit market is concentrated in countries like Japan, Korea, China and Taiwan. Component manufacturing companies like Rogers Corporation are setting up production facilities in Asia to reap the benefits of low cost manufacturing and robust demand. Electronic goods sector is flourishing in Asia, which strengthens the prospects of Roger as they provide specialty materials, which have wide number of applications in cell phones, satellite television and laptop computers to name a few. It generates over 46% of its revenues from Asian operations and has been able to successfully grow its business in Asia, which is evidenced from the impressive revenue growth there in the past few years.
Roger seems to be firing on all cylinders, as its top line grew substantially for the nine months ended September 2006, powered by custom electrical components segment as more cell phone manufactures preferred Roger’s products for their applications. Moreover, copper prices are set to head southwards which could release some of the pressure on the company’s margins. Also, company has found an alternative solution in the form of aluminum silicon carbide, which is economically viable to use in certain semiconductor related applications. Marching ahead, company is ramping up production capacities in China and making joint ventures in their foam and printed circuit material businesses to boost up the top line growth, which has continuously risen in the past four quarters. In the light of all these elements, Rogers Corporation looks set for a big bull ride in the future.

The northern bald ibis (Geronticus eremita) is classified as endangered in the IUCN Red List. This migratory bird species was originally distributed over Northern Africa, the Arabian Peninsula and a large part of Europe. In Europe, the northern bald ibis went extinct in the Middle Ages. The remaining migratory populations outside Europe disappeared in the recent past. In the wild, only two sedentary colonies persisted on the Atlantic coast of Morocco within a limited geographical range. In the past, the northern bald ibis bred along the northern foothills of the Alps, and presumably in southern Spain, in the Upper Adriatic Region and in Bulgaria. Historic and genetic findings suggest a long-lasting presence of the northern bald ibis in Europe. Based on this historic evidence, a feasibility study on the reintroduction of the species was initiated in 2002. After 12 years of ecological, behavioural, and methodological research, in accordance with the IUCN Guidelines for Reintroductions, the reintroduction started with a first LIFE project (LIFE12 BIO/AT/000143). This was the first promising attempt to reintroduce a continentally extinct migratory species. In 2019, the population consisted of 142 successfully rewilded individuals. Out of the four breeding colonies established in the previous LIFE project, two are self-sustaining considering their net population growth. All colonies use the same common wintering site in southern Tuscany (Italy).
The LIFE NBI project aims to establish a self-sustaining population of northern bald ibis (Geronticus eremita) that migrate to a common wintering site in Tuscany (Italy).
Specifically, the project aims to:
- Reduce mortality through illegal hunting in Italy by optimising and expanding preventive and post-poaching measures, as well as launching a comprehensive flagship campaign with positive side-effects for other endangered migratory species;
- Reduce mortality through electrocution on power lines including launching a comprehensive flagship campaign;
- Create synergies with policy areas regarding biodiversity threats - using the northern bald ibis as a flagship species for awareness raising activities and related lobbying measures against illegal hunting in Italy and electrocution in Austria;
- Create synergies with policy areas regarding habitat protection - driving the reassessment of the northern bald ibis status in the European Red List (currently listed as regionally extinct);
- Increase the knowledge of local farmers in breeding areas on management-related needs and benefits of the northern bald ibis and topic-related incentives for sustainable and organic farming through the rural development measures of the Common Agricultural Policy (CAP);
- Performing transfer and replication measures - hosting three replication workshops regarding innovative methods on the project.
- Increase in the population size of the northern bald ibis in the project area to ≥357 migratory individuals;
- Establishment of three new breeding colonies and one satellite colony, located both north and south of the Alps;
- Reduced mortality rate due to illegal hunting in Italy, from currently 31% of all casualties to below 25%;
- Reduced mortality rate due to electrocution on medium-voltage power poles, from currently 45% of all casualties to below 38%;
- Retrofitting of about 160 power poles at three main feeding sites in Austria;
- Driving the implementation of the Italian National Plan against Illegal Threats to Wild Birds, and the inclusion of a region along the Tyrrhenian Coast as a new target area; and
- Driving the implementation of a systemic solution against electrocution as a specific measure into the Austrian Biodiversity Strategy 2030, which will also benefit other bird species. | 739 |
It is important to teach children about protecting Earth. With a little creativity, kids can develop eco-friendly habits and have fun, too. In recognition of Earth Day, here are some Earth-loving ways you and your kids can spend time together.
- Beautifying the yard. Head down to the local garden center and buy some flower seedlings or any ornamental plants. Let the kids plant and water them. Encourage them to beautify the areas with stones, branches, or any nature-like stuff they find. Let their creativity flow so they can see the beauty in nature.
- Re-use old/unused items and turn them into craft projects. With spring cleaning comes the accumulation of empty boxes, broken toys, trinkets, etc. Why fill up the garbage when you can re-purpose some thing with the kids? Prepare scissors, glue, coloring pens, and colored papers. Turn your accumulated de-clutter objects into artwork.
- Nature detectives. While the sun is up and the kids want to go outside, let them explore the backyard as junior nature detectives. Ask them to investigate the yard. What do they think of the withered leaves? What animals have they seen? Afterward, let them write or draw what they saw and ask them some questions about their detective work.
- Cleaning competition. Kids love contests. Organize a competition amongst siblings where the winner is the kid who collects the most thrash. See how they de-clutter their rooms, the living room, and the kitchen.
- Water the plants. While watering, explain that plants can't live without water and we all depend on water. Explain why conservation and protection of our water resources is important. Let them understand that water is an integral part of our lives. | 363 |
The Milkmaid: Aesop Fables for Kids
A milkmaid, who poised a full pail on her head,
Thus mused on her prospects in life, it is said:
“Let’s see—I should think that this milk will procure
One hundred good eggs, or fourscore to be sure.
“Well then—stop a bit,—it must not be forgotten,
Some of these may be broken, and some may be rotten;
But if twenty for accidents should be detach’d,
It will leave me just sixty sound eggs to hatch’d.
“Well, sixty sound eggs—no; sound chickens, I mean;
Of these some may die—we’ll suppose seventeen—
Seventeen!—not so many—say ten at the most,
Which will leave fifty chickens to boil or to roast.
“But then there’s their barley; how much will they need?
Why they take but one grain at a time when they feed,
So that’s a mere trifle; now then let us see,
At a fair market price, how much money there’ll be?
“Six shillings a pair—five—four—three-and-six,
To prevent all mistakes, that low price I will fix;
Now what will that make? fifty chickens, I said,
Fifty times three-and-sixpence—I’ll ask brother Ned.
“Oh! but stop—three-and-sixpence a pair I must sell ‘em;
Well, a pair is a couple—now then let us tell ‘em;
A couple in fifty will go—(my poor brain!)
Why just a score times, and five pair will remain.
“Twenty-five pair of fowls—now how shameful it is,
That I can’t reckon up as much money as this!
Well, there’s no use in trying; so let’s give a guess;
I will say twenty pounds, and it can’t be no less.
“Twenty pounds, I am certain, will buy me a cow,
Thirty geese, and two turkeys—eight pigs and a sow;
Now if these turn out well, at the end of the year,
I shall fill both my pockets with guineas ’tis clear.
“Then I’ll bid that old tumble-down hovel good-bye;
My mother she’ll scold, and my sisters they’ll cry:
But I won’t care a crow’s egg for all they can say;
I shan’t go to stop with such beggars as they!”
But forgetting her burden, when this she had said,
The maid superciliously toss’d up her head
When alas! for her prospects—the milk pail descended!
And so all her schemes for the future were ended.
This moral, I think, may be safely attach’d:
Reckon not on your chickens before they are hatch’d. | 681 |

Essay: The Importance Of Christianity To Western Civilization
For instance, the Greeks thought beauty was linked to good and ugliness to bad, Greeks demonstrated powers of the mind while Christians viewed all souls equal. Christianity gave people a new belief system and meaning towards life, they saw beauty even in the most unpleasant exteriors such as disease, cripple, mutilated, and more giving help to those areas. Intellectually Christianity marked a revolution, compared to Greco-Roman thought, which taught humility, Christian believed and viewed that all men and women were alike because they are all children of God, thus it gave individuals a sense of human unity. Christian dualism later gave the European and Western world Caesaropapism (a political system in which one person holds the powers of ruler and of pontiff) (Palmer, Colton, & Kramer …show more content…
Describe the contributions of the Greeks and Romans to Western Civilization, explaining their accomplishments and the classical virtues they developed. (Essay).
The Greeks and Romans were two different cultures who were setting forth to create what was becoming Europe. The first Indo-Europeans were the Greeks; they came down from the Balkan Peninsula to the Aegean Sea around 1900 B.C.E., occupying most of what has been called Greece since 1300 B.C.E. (Palmer, Colton, & Kramer 2014).
The ancient Greeks were very culturally accomplished such as achieving heights in thoughts and letters, absorbing knowledge, mathematical lore from the Chaldeans, and arts and crafts from Asia Minor. They added everything that they learned and applied it to their culture. The Greeks were the first to write history. Although the Greeks had many accomplishments culturally they also had many classical virtues. Their statues defined values and idealizations of what humans ought to be (noble creatures, dignified, poised, un-terrified by life or death, masters of themselves and feelings) (Palmer, Colton, & Kramer 2014). The Greeks were great architects; making statues and buildings that portrayed balance and order, which influenced other cities. Eventually in 146 B.C.E the Greeks were invaded by Rome and were conquered. Educated Romans began learning from Greek culture because of the admiration they had seen. The Romans had ability to rule but valued the Greeks philosophy. The two cultures were able | 479 |
The recent anniversary of Brown v Board is a moment to pause and reflect on the impact that discrimination and stigma has on children. Despite the progress that has been made since 1954, systemic racism still effects the lives of young children around the world. At Two Rabbits, we measure cultural pride with methods inspired by Thurgood Marshall’s evidence in the Brown v Board case, specifically the famous doll experiment, which demonstrated the “stamp of inferiority” caused by segregation placed and internalized by black children. Below you can see one of our students taking part in a similar assessment, choosing his preferred photo from choices including Baka and non-Baka settings. Like Marshall, we hope to use this data to bring the Baka story to light, and target our efforts to provide quality preschool education and fight for social justice. | 169 |

In your opinion who is a better friend to a teenage boy, his dad or his mum? | 1,039 |
Following strong bipartisan support, Governor Newsom signed Senate Bill 245, authored by Senator Ling Ling Chang (R-Diamond Bar), which calls on animal shelters throughout the state to waive pet adoption fees for military veterans. California is home to two million military veterans, including many who struggle to cope with Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) and a companion animal could be beneficial with their recovery efforts.
Under SB 245, the process for confirming an eligible veteran by a shelter would be streamlined by using the state’s existing “VETERAN” driver’s license designation. This law is effective January 1, 2020.
Since Senator Chang’s tenure, she has advocated on behalf of veterans and shelter animals with other legislation that are on their way to the governor’s desk for his signature. She co-authored Assembly Bill 427 which would exempt military retirement pay from state income tax for veterans who are residents in California, and introduced Senate Bill 64 which would require a microchip be implanted in all dogs and cats at an animal shelter before they are released.
Thank you Senator Ling Ling Chang. This is coming two days to late for us because we just adopted two kitten this past Sunday. It’s OK, the shelter needs the money and we donate money to animal rescues anyway.

What is it?
Flexible Thinking is our ability to recognize our approach to solving a problem is not working - switch gears quickly - and find new approaches to solve the problem. In other words - can you let go of an old way of doing something in order to try a new way of doing it?
Why is it important to kids?
In order to learn well - kids need to be flexible thinkers.
- When learning the grammatical rules of English, kids need to know that rules apply - but sometimes they don't. Typically, we add an -ed to make a verb past tense, except when we say "went" instead of "goed."
- Idioms and other figurative language concepts are a significant part of our language and culture. Flexible thinking helps us understand the phrases, "It's raining cats and dogs outside" or "You're treading in deep water." The ability to shift between literal and figurative language is a critical skill for reading, writing and even social communication.
- Math problems can be solved in more than one way - and kids need to know how to use formulas in different ways.
- Even cleaning/organizing a bedroom can require flexible thinking. What happens when younger sister or brother moves in? Where do toys and books go? What changes happen in the morning and evening routine?
As with all our EF skills, flexible thinking can improve!
Here are a few suggestions:
1. Take a common object and find an uncommon use for it (e.g., What can your child do with an egg carton? A shoe box?).
2. Find a new route. Always go the same way to school, the park or church? Have your child map out a new way.
3. Read aloud (and together) silly jokes or books that play with words.
4. Encourage "thinking aloud" or self-talk when your child is trying to solve a problem - whether it's homework or tying a shoe or making a new friend.
5. Change the rules - play a game a different way, substitute a flavor/food in a favorite recipe or create a new holiday tradition...that can be changed again next year!
Encouraging flexible thinking may not only strengthen the mind, but just may be the key to strengthening important bonds with your child.
All the best, | 485 |
Digger Pete all ready for the slog, with twin long range fuel tanks.
This is for real, no camera tricks used CW.
Private-lee saluting and paying respects to a most beautiful country.
Do you guys have to leave so soon?
It was still dark when we gathered at the lobby of Gims Resort at 0645am reluctantly, at least for me. The room was so warm and comfortable that it was really tough to get up and leave such a beautiful place. At 12c, there better be a good reason to give up a toasty bed! But we had a tough 70km in front of us to Soppong and we needed an early start. With our bikes fully loaded, we rode through the morning mist just as the sun was breaking out.
Our most important task was to fuel up and we were delighted that the Hongkong Congee shop in town was ready for her first customers. It was a real treat to down piping hot rice porridge (with egg) in the cold morning and all our bellies felt happy and satisfied.
At 0745, we accompanied Mike to the Bus Terminal. The plan was for him to bus over the steepest sections and meet us at Ban Mae Suya at approximately 35km mark. Better to preserve his knee for the 2nd half of the trip than bust it now. How bad exactly are the climbs? Louise Henric Meldgard, a seasoned tourer who has done the Pyrenees and the Alps, wrote in CGOAB the climbs as being steep as a wall, 20% gradients causing him to be dripping in sweat and leg muscles all done in!
So with that before us, we bade Mike farewell and the 7 of us rode bravely down Highway 1095 to meet our fate. The first 8km out of Mae Hong Son was easy enough with rolling hills and when we regrouped before the climbs, there on the parking area was a dead owl that laid pitifully in front of us. Was that a prophetic sign of what laid ahead? I wondered quietly to myself.
I exchanged my helmet for my climbing cap and led the Iron Calvary for the charge upwards, feeling rather excited with more than a few butterflies in my stomach. It was good that everyone seem to be in the highest spirits and all gung ho. Perhaps a bit of ignorance is bliss...
The trick to climbs is to find one's own pace, and not to take the easy way out and change down to granny immediately. Climbs are very manageable so long as its done without rushing and without over exerting. Breathing deeply and monitoring your heart rate are keys to successful climbing. The aim is to settle to a nice rhythm and hopefully find bike Nirvana - best described by the Pink Floyd song, "Comfortably Numb."
As we tackled one climb after another with initial gusto, it was obvious that our batteries were slowly depleting. We measured our progress not by how many km but at some stages, it was by one meter at a time. It was to be a mental game and there was no shame in pushing, especially when we see KC, our strongest, fastest and fittest, on foot too. At 0930, a bright orange bus passed us with a rather familiar face, hands waving frantically and the thought why I was not inside, did cross my mind. Several times!
The team soon sorted itself out into its natural groupings. KC, Cil and I in one followed by the Howards and the Roscoes. We waited for each other at regular intervals just to make sure everyone was ok. We enjoyed our chats and sharing of our goodies, with lots of laughter despite our aching legs. Celia the resident Physio swore by Skin Compression Leggings and it seem to work for us.
With climbs like these, we get to appreciate our bicycles and its performance. My Speed Pro is blessed with a super wide gear range of 26" - 125" with its SRAM Dual Drive system but I reckon something closer to 20" would be better for such climbs. I also learn how important encouragement and support for one another is. I'm grateful that everyone cheered each other on and tough times do have a special way of forging friendships.
It was helpful to be in communications with Mike who was waiting somewhere along the journey in front of us so we sort of know when the agony will end. And eventually, all bad things do come to an end. Our oasis appeared at about the 34km mark in the form of a restaurant promising clean toilets. This small village actually have a few eateries but we were happy to stop at the very first one for we were famished and truly spent for as it was already past noon. We ordered fried rice, minced pork with basil and lots of drinks and enjoyed every grain. Cil and Pete wasted no time to steal a snooze on the hard benches and we felt very grateful for this place of rest.
Follow the Prof. Can't go wrong!
Little did we know that poor Mike was waiting for us just 2km down the road all alone in a hut. He has been unceremoniously dropped off there 2 hours plus ago and we did not know this until we rode pass him after our lunch break. It must have been such a long wait and we were so pleased to see him. Mike was even more pleased when I presented him with a piping hot freshly cooked Khao Pad which he wolved down in almost one mouthful.
The next stage of climbs were a relentless 9 to 10km and Ian, the Engineer, had downloaded a map showing all the elevations as proof. Anne by this stage had had enough. To prevent a divorce, the ever prudent husband hitched a ride from a kind pick up who took them all the way up, for free! I had just managed to catch up with them only to see the Howards jumping up the vehicle and whizzing away with the brightest of smiles! In that moment, I could identify with how the GIs felt when the Huey Helicopters took off without them in the middle of the Vietnamese battlefield... abandoned and doomed to be slaughtered!
At this stage Mike probably wished he did not get off the bus as the steepest of the climbs meant it was a painful and arduous push/cycle routine. Despite our refreshments and rest, it did not seem to make any difference to our energy level. In times like this, we just had to bite our lips and press on. We took plenty of rest stops and the team was spread out even more as the day wore on.
We were all getting dangerously low on water by now despite having carried two water bottles and a bit more. Our energy rations too were largely consumed. What kept us going was each other and simply the desire to finish well. KC had gone way ahead of us and was nowhere to be seen. My usually seasoned butt was starting to whinge every now and then... But then, I enjoyed pure solitude being high up on the mountains, with only the sounds of silence before me and that was truly spiritual.
Every crank and every step was getting more and more difficult until a big blue sign promising a toilet stop appeared. This usually meant great scenery and also food and drink. We were not disappointed! Reaching the top, we were welcomed by the most spectacular views of the mountain ranges. It was great to see KC there cheering us on and bringing much needed ice cold drinks for us. I collapsed on a bench for a while and just laid dead for 10 mins before I felt some life coming back to me.
This beautiful view point was more than a toilet stop and was teeming with touristy shops selling all types of souvenirs manned by Hill Tribe people. We were particularly amused by one elderly lady who could only play 2 notes on her flute and repeated her melody over and over again until she got a donation. We gladly paid! For some reason, she had an uncanny resemblance to KC, who was attracted to the potent weeds she kept in her pouch.
Despite the amazing beauty that surrounded us, the stray dogs who came in hope of a tid-bit looked really woeful. We gave them some of our delicious grilled sweet potatoes and wished we had a bone or two in our panniers. Meanwhile, our foldies became one of the de facto tourists attraction and they had a constant stream of attention.
We learned too that riding Bike Fridays seem to give us some measure of respect especially from the Europeans and its good to know that. But we wondered if we were "good" enough to represent the brand. It was also appropriate here for Sol, Hana, Ollie and his mate to take a group pic to commemorate this special achievement! They were our VIP guests throughout the trip.
A tourist from India who made his way from Soppong on a motorbike told us the good news! It was largely downhill from here and only 20km or so. As it was nearly 5pm, we got cracking and like Alpine skiers, we launched ourselves and enjoyed the speedy reward for our hard work.
We made sure our lights were switched on and took it easy on some of the very steep descends and hairpins. Our brakes worked overtime until the rims were sizzling hot. This was when I realized the advantage of having disk brakes especially on a fully loaded bike and it was no wonder KC just flew down so confidently.
As we lost altitude quickly, there were still some climbs that awaited us and some required us to dismount and push. It's amazing what we see when we are plodding at 5km/h. KC first stumbled upon a toy rabbit left in the middle of the road and he kindly placed it on the side, and photographed it. I too passed it and remarked to Celia how cute it was and took a pic as well. The Howards noticed it too but continued on. However, it was Jan Roscoe who picked it up and carried it along with her. When we gathered later to talk about it, we all had a big laugh as it reminded us so much of the parable of The Good Samaritan. This is a story told by Jesus about who is our neighbor and what it means to love them.
The exhilarating descends ended all too quickly as we entered the beautiful valley leading to Soppong village. Dusk was approaching and we were glad we had less than 10km to go. The Howards who got a free ride up killer mountain #2 earlier was already at The Little Eden Hotel and had enjoyed their afternoon Cappuccino and cake. I rang Ian to find out how much further was the hotel and was pleasantly surprised to learn that we were only 5 mins away. It is so important to get local SIM cards for everyone so there is vital communications as there will be times when the team gets separated.
Little Eden Guesthouse turned out to be one green and lush oasis of a hotel. The owner Khun Phen welcomed us warmly and was visibly proud of the great work she has done to truly make her hotel like the Garden of Eden. Definitely a place to recommend.
What excited me was the bamboo bridge across the river that connected Little Eden to the woods and we were going to explore that the next morning. The rooms too were comfortable and spacious and I took the liberty of soaking my tired legs into the ice cold pool. After a lovely hot shower, we gathered around the cosy restaurant for our evening meal. The warmth of the fireplace made for a very special time together as we tucked in heartily on delicious spicy Thai curries, veggies and rice.
It had been a very long and tiring day and we could not believe that we were all here together in one piece. We had successfully ridden (and walked) over and on the walls of Mae Hong Son and we look forward to the coming walls with confidence. All the pain and suffering were quickly forgotten as we laughed and reflected upon our adventure. Tomorrow was to be a short ride to Pai - just a tad over 40km so we could start a bit later, and that only added to the sweet sleep that awaited us...
This song by Philip Bailey perhaps best captured the satisfaction and joy we felt that day. Not quite the Chinese Wall but we were geographically very close to the Chinese border.
It took about 6 months to plan for our 1000 Hills Adventure and seeing how 8 folks on 4 different flights from 2 countries came together at Chiang Mai brought immense joy to my heart. I was the last to arrive at Na Inn on Wed Jan 8 at 3pm and was greeted by the sight of packed and to be packed bicycles in full size boxes in the spacious store room. I had pre-ordered the boxes through Chaitawat Bikeshop, which was located just 300m from our hotel. The "brilliant" plan was to dispose of them after our flight to Mae Hong Son, keeping our original packing, be it Samsonites or boxes at Na Inn. We enjoyed an evening ride around Chiang Mai town and the Aussies had their first taste of "freedom" cycling - where road rules were largely optional, Thai style.
We celebrated our get together at Jia Tong Heng Chinese Restaurant and had the privilege of Amy and her friend, Kitty - a very chatty tour guide who spoke Japanese and Mandarin, join us for dinner. There, we defined our roles - Ian kindly volunteered to be our Chief Financial Officer, Mike and Celia - medical support, Pete and KC - technical and mechanical support, Anne and Jan - daring adventurettes! It was to be an early night as we had to leave for our 940am flight to Mae Hong Son the next day and everyone was too excited.
It took 2 Songtheows to transport our 8 bike boxes to CM International Airport and it felt like a precise military operation. But little did I know that Nok Air's SAAB 340 33 seater aircraft was officially capable of taking only *one folded bike in a box! No wonder it was called Nok Mini. The check-in staff were at a loss seeing our boxes and rejected them! This was a most disappointing start to our trip and demanded a real test of quick thinking on our feet. Time was ticking away as we tried to work out a solution literally on a wing and lots of prayer.
One plan was to hire a Songtheow to transport the bikes by road 235km through mountain passes and that sounded like the only way out. Thus, I went out to seek a Songtheow and the asking price was around 4000B or US$130. I was touched that Mike volunteered to accompany the bikes through the arduous journey however as it turned out, a divine hand was blocking this option. There were many talkers but strangely, no takers! It was rather frustrating and a real test of faith.
While I was busy Songtheow hunting and getting desperate, Celia tenatiously managed to chisel out a whacky but workable solution with Nok Air. This was to repack the bicycles - fold them and just cover up with cardboard and tape! I felt sorry for the poor staff particularly this nice lady who probably had 1 year's worth of stress compressed into 30 mins. Her dazed face said it all.
Time check - 40 mins to take off. So we got cracking, repacking our bikes in record time, and the Nok Air staff provided us with plenty of small boxes and tape. In addition, they lent their hands to do this record speed packing and we appreciated it very much.
Because they were foldies, the package turned out to be surprisingly compact and with smiles breaking out everywhere, our bikes were accepted for check-in and the 8 of us scuttled our way to the boarding gate. This was truly a miracle that not one, but 7 more foldies were unofficially and miraculously allowed for the flight.
As we settled into our comfortable seats in the Blue Woody Woodpacker twin prop Bird, I breathe a big sigh of relief and thanksgiving. We were all in the highest spirits!
The take-off was smooth as silk and soon, we were enthralled by what we saw on the 35 min flight. Majestic mountain ranges, shrouded with white mists, bathe in golden morning sun and that took our breath away.
It was hard to imagine that in the following days, we had to cross those ranges on our own strength powering small wheels but for now, we were not going to think about that. Life is best lived one day at a time, and for this adventure, one crank at a time. The words of our Lord in Matt 6:34 ring so true. "So don't worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will bring its own worries. Today's trouble is enough for today!"
It was a nice surprise that we were given tasty in-flight refreshments and the morning's excitement really got me famished. Touching down at Mae Hong Son airport, Gims Hotel had arranged for us to be picked up. It turned out to be by one 3 wheeled Tuk Tuk and a funky looking yellow 4WD. It was another high adventure loading our 8 parcels and 16 panniers onto these but 2 trips soon saw all of us at the beautiful and cosy grounds of our hotel.
As we settled into our warm and inviting villas, it was hard to imagine that just a few hours ago things could turn out very differently. Gims Resort happens to be a most impressive place with lovely greenery and certainly deserves a few nights to be fully savored.
It didn't take long to assemble our foldies and I appreciated Pete's Tern P24 seat post pump which could do 100psi effortlessly. A quick wash up and it was time for a short ride to town to test our bikes and make any needed adjustments.
Lunch was at the Salween River Restaurant and Bar, which was rated by Tripadvisor as one of the top eateries in MHS. It didn't disappoint and we fed heartily, and so did the mozzies under our tables. I was grateful for the warmth and camaraderie that we enjoyed. A spirit of teamwork and looking after each another are really important for what we are about to embark.
Mae Hong Son is famous for its temple on the hill - Wat Phra That Mae Yen and we had our first taste of steep climbs. It didn't help that we had full stomachs and our legs were not warmed up. There was no shame to push, something we learned in the days to come.
Our reward was a commanding view of the town and the runway and the temple itself is quite spectacular.
We had fun just soaking in the scenery and beating the gongs to drum up enough courage for our upcoming battle with the mountainous terrain.
Our next task was to find the bus station. Mike was under strict orders by his Orthopedic Surgeon NOT to cycle due to a worn out right knee so as far as I was concern, it was prudent for him to be on the bus part-way for our leg to Soppong - 70km away. This was after all where the worse climbs were and a rider from Crazyguyonabike described them as The Wall. 830am was when Mike had to check in and the cost was an unbelievable 45B or US$1.50.
Wandering around town, I was glad to chance upon a lovely upmarket Huai Hom coffee cafe (300m before the Toyota dealership) that looked out of place in this "boondockish" country town. They served lovely Cappucinos, Lattes and ice teas and with free WIFI in lush green setting, it was the best way to spend a lazy afternoon.
Dinner was at Fern Restaurant and riding there from our hotel, it was obvious that the cold had descended upon us. 15c and falling. We fed well and carbo-loaded in anticipation of the Wall that awaited us tomorrow.
Reflecting back upon the day, I realized it had more excitement that I had bargained for and I knew in my heart, we were in for a real treat on this 1000 Hills Adventure. It helped that someone up there is definitely watching over us!
From Nok Air's email to us dated 21st Jan - For the flight which operated by SAAB-340, a folded bicycle is allowed to load but not much more than one piece per flight.
As our investigation, your flight of DD8200 CNX-HGN 9 JAN 14 was operated byNok Mini (SAAB-340), so that is the reason why our staff denied your bicycles for the checking in.

Bolivia, officially known as the Plurinational State of Bolivia, is a landlocked country in central South America. It is bordered by Brazil to the north and east, Paraguay and Argentina to the south, and Chile and Peru to the west.
- Sucre (constitutional capital)
- La Paz (seat of government)
Largest city: Santa Cruz de la Sierra
Bolivian cuisine stems mainly from the combination of Spanish cuisine with traditional Indigenous Aymara ingredients, with later influences from Argentinians, Germans, Italians, Basques, Russians, Poles, and Arabs due to the arrival of immigrants from those countries. The three traditional staples of Bolivian cuisine are corn, potatoes, and beans. These ingredients have been combined with a number of staples brought by the Spanish, such as rice, wheat, and meat, including beef, pork, and chicken. | 184 |
Biomagnification - Mercury in the System NAME:______
- Silver paper clips represent Mercury
- Green paper clips represent Algae
- Blue paper clips represent something that eats algae- Zooplankton
- Pink paper clips eat the Blue organism (Zooplankton) - Crayfish
- Red paper clips eat the Purple organism (Crayfish)- Bass
1: Draw the food chain represented by the organisms listed above
2: Roll a dice - this tells you how much mercury your single algae eats.
Ex. roll a 2 (green algae will have 2 silver paperclips on it)
3: Roll dice again, this is how many ALGAE your zooplankton eat
Ex. roll a 3 (you will have to make 2 MORE algae paperclips with 2 silver mercury reps on EACH one)
4: Roll dice, this is how many ZOOPLANKTON your little fish (PURPLE) eat
Ex. roll a 3 (you will have to make 2 MORE zooplankton (BLUE) which each have the green and silver)
5: Roll dice, this is how many LITTLE FISH, your BASS (Red) eats
Ex. roll a 5 (you have to make 4 MORE Purple organisms (with the same number of Blue, Green, and Silver)
6: After you have completed all levels of the food chain, place your data into a data table and graph how much mercury was found at EACH trophic level.
Data Table:Organism / Trophic Level / Amount of Hg Trial 1 / Amount of Hg Trial 2 / Amount of Hg Trial 3
Biomagnification is also called Bioamplification. It is simply the increase in concentration of a substance in a food chain, not an individual organism. Persistent organic pollutants (POPs) are compounds that biomagnify. Persistent organic pollutants (POPs) are chemical substances that persist in the environment. These substances bioaccumulate through the food web and pose risk not only to humans but also other living organisms because of their adverse effects. These pollutants consists of pesticides (such as DDT), industrial chemicals (such as polychlorinated biphenyls, PCBs) and unintentional by-products of industrial processes (such as dioxins and furans
1: Explain how the mercury contamination biomagnified up the food chain into the highest organism.
The Borneo “Cat Drop”
“In the early 1950s, there was an outbreak of a serious disease called malaria amongst the Dayak people in Borneo. The World Health Organization tried to solve the problem. They sprayed large amounts of a chemical called DDT to kill the mosquitoes that carried the malaria. The mosquitoes died and there was less malaria. That was good. However, there were side effects. One of the first effects was that the roofs of people's houses began to fall down on their heads. It turned out that the DDT was also killing a parasitic wasp that ate thatch-eating caterpillars. Without the wasps to eat them, there were more and more thatch-eating caterpillars. Worse than that, the insects that died from being poisoned by DDT were eaten by gecko lizards, which were then eaten by cats. The cats started to die, the rats flourished, and the people were threatened by outbreaks of two new serious diseases carried by the rats, sylvatic plague and typhus. To cope with these problems, which it had itself created, the World Health Organization had to parachute live cats into Borneo.” -Patrick T. O’Shaughnessy
2. Relate your results of this activity to what occurred in Borneo with the DDT and why the cats eventually died. EXPLAIN.
3. Explain how this activity relates to how organisms are all interconnected in a food web. DISCUSS
4. There are certain species of fish that are said to contain more mercury contamination that others- WHY would that be the case?
5. Discuss what you learned by doing this activity. (Use correct terms and vocabulary) | 867 |
Biomass Energy plants are rapidly becoming popular. Simply, Biomass energy is generated by burning biomass like trash, wood, etc.This kind of energy emerged to one of the major alternative sources of power generations. Biomass Energy is renewable, reduce dependence on fossil fuels, can also reduce wastes. It also has huge potential due to abundant availability of biomass sources. The wastes in the world are growing so we can collect energy from this type of energy.
Also there are some problems with this Biomass energy, like it releases carbon dioxide, pollutes the air, and expensive. We can change the pollution by putting a filter on it that collects dust and bad things meanwhile it does not harm air quality. | 145 |
According to the Economist Intelligence Unit (EIU), Singapore has been crowned the world’s most expensive city! I’m not certain if that is something to be happy about but we’ll leave that debate for another forum.
In the interest of attracting more (budget) travellers into Singapore, I’ve collated a list of accommodations that cost $30 and under. However, before you get all excited and read on, I have to say that most of the accommodations I picked are hostels (which isn’t necessarily a bad thing). And also, the prices are according to their cheapest bed available i.e. from $22 for mixed dorm. There are a couple on the list that offer private rooms for a pretty reasonable rate and I will state them accordingly. Either way, these accommodations are definitely a steal for an atas* country.

The exact dimensions of the propeller block are not given on the plan or in the construction article. The dimensions of the blocks for other 8″ propellers for similar Grant designs vary slightly. The dimensions on the plan scale slightly differently, depending on what method and assumptions you use. When I first measured the half size plan using a ruler with 1/16″ divisions , I got 3/8″ for the thickness and 3/4″ for the width. I doubled those to get 3/4″ for the block thickness and 1 1/2″ for the block width. That produces a propeller with a P/D (pitch to diameter ratio) of 1.57. A more careful measurement with 1/100″ divisions and calculating width and thickness in proportion to the given 8″ diameter produces a thickness of 3/4″ and a width of 1 9/16″. That produces a P/D of 1.5. Grant in his books seems to favor 1.57.
Flight performance depends on getting a good match between airplane, motor and propeller. The motor produces torque. Each motor will produce a range of torques as it unwinds. The propeller converts torque into thrust. In level flight, thrust equals drag. One way to compare propellers is to see how much torque they require to produce level flight. The propeller that flies the plane level with the least torque allows a thinner motor, which allows more turns per inch and more total turns. It also likely has a lower revolution rate, meaning that the prop will turn for a longer time while keeping the airplane in the air. It would seem to be a fairly easy thing to compare propellers, or so I thought. 😉
The idea was to test each of several propellers, winding a standard test motor various amounts until I got a level flight, then measure the parameters for the level flight; turns in, torque in, torque out, turns out, flight time and flight diameter. All weights have been measured in the shop. The torque to fly level would be the average of the torque in and the torque out. Turns in minus turns out would count propeller revolutions, and that divided by flight time would be prop revolution rate. Pi times flight circle diameter would be distance flown and that divided by flight time would be airspeed. This last must be done in still air.
I made five propellers with different P/D; A=2.0, B=1.8, C=1.6, D=1.4 and E=1.2. Each was made using the same blade pattern, but blocks with different widths and thicknesses. The blocks were cut from the same piece of balsa. An additional complication is that these propeller blocks had different densities and the propellers had different weights; A 2.5 gm, B 1.9 gm, C 2.4 gm, D 1.4 gm, E 1.9 gm. It was necessary to calculate a wing position for each propeller to get the center of gravity in the right place. I put a pencil mark on the side of the stick for each wing position.
Still air usually occurs in the morning. I packed up my airplane, propellers, test motors, torquemeter, stopwatch, 100′ steel tape and all the other required equipment and headed over to the park.
The next complication is that the grass is wet in the morning. After a few flights, the wheels are dripping wet. What does that do to the required torque and the balance? At home, I soaked the wheels under the faucet. The water adds a gram to the weight and moves the balance point only a little.
Although the test procedure sounds easy in concept, in practice a hundred things will go wrong and there are a hundred things that you can forget. It takes about five attempts for every flight that produces a complete set of data. By the time I had got the procedure down to a standard, a wind drift had come up. It was not possible to measure the diameter of the flight circle. The best I had were a couple flights where the plane had come down after a half circle and I taped off the distance from the launch point. In drift, circling had to be judged from the direction the stick was pointing. Eventually the plane was drifting all the way across the field into the trees on the far side. Once the drift changed direction and the plane circled among a half dozen trees behind me.
Later I found that more turns were required to get a level flight with the same prop. Was this due to the water? No, the wheels had been wet almost from the start. I found that fresh lube on the motor brought the required turns back down. The lube dries out in the morning sun. Keep that in mind when flying in a contest.
In the end, what I had were some pretty good tests on prop B. It flew a level circle in 19 seconds with 1,180 turns on the 18″ loop of 1/8″ rubber. With the same motor and turns, prop A turned about a quarter circle in 7 seconds and prop C turned about a half circle in 11 seconds. I decided that was enough, I would use prop B for my postal contest flights. Engineering testing is much simpler than scientific investigation. Time was running out and I had to use any time with no wind on a much larger field to get the flight times I was hoping for. | 1,122 |
Scrooge’s Purpose in Charles Dickens A Christmas Carol
A Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens as written to tell people to take responsibility for your actions and helping the poor. Scrooge is portrayed as a very miserable old man who does not have any Christmas spirt throughout this novella scrooge is taught three lessons by four visitors by the end this rich old. inhuman mas has changed his ways.
In stave 1 of A Christmas Carol Scrooge is portrayed as someone who is theoretical inhumane he is also shown as a very miserable man; a way to highlight this is “if they would rather die they better go and do it and decrease the surplus population’ this may show that Scrooge does not care about anyone but himself; this also shows that Scrooge has very strong capitalist views and that he wants all the poor people to go off and die. The verb die has connotation to die, death, heaven/hell, anger, hatred, envy, old, deathbed, disease, soulless foreshadowing is used here when speaking of Tiny Tim’s death later on in the novella .This may make the reader feel disgraceful of Scrooges behaviour. This links back to reason why Dickens wrote tis novella which was taking care of the poor.
Dickens also shows theme of charity through Scrooge when his third lesson has been taught by the jolly giant in stave 3 when he quotes Scrooge ‘are there no prisons are there no workhouses; this quote suggests that Scrooge should not of said something which he will later regret. Again this quote uses foreshadowing when as Scrooge had Said tis before as well when the charity collectors came to his house and asked for a contribution towards a children’s charity and Scrooge replied and said ‘are there no prisons are there no workhouses’. This quote also uses rhetorical questions. The words prisons and workhouses has connotations to theft, fraud, felony, kids, poor, money, and accommodation. This is included in the novella because dickens father was sent to work in the work houses as well. Dickens mother had also move seven of her children in to prison to work with their father whereas Dickens was sent to live on his own.
In stave one Scrooge is met by two charity collectors at his front door asking to contribute for a children’s charity. When asked what he will give he replies ‘nothing’ the charity collectors then say ‘you wish to be anonymous’. These two quotes tell us that scrooge may be very wealthy but he does not like to give to anyone but himself. A quote to suggest this is ‘I don’t make merry myself at Christmas and I can’t afford to make idle people merry. A technique used in this quote is personal pronoun the effect of it is to make how selfish Scrooge is standout. This is used because Scrooge and the charity collectors are talking about how to help the poor and the poor kids and yet again Scrooge is being rude and talking about himself. This links back to the moral message of why Dickens wrote this novella which was helping the poor.
After the last spirit has left Scrooge is met by the charity collectors on the way to Fred’s house. Scrooge reacts in a cheerful way. He tells them to come around his house so that he can write them a cheque he does this because he doesn’t want to be who he used to be. He wants to change into a good man. This is only because of the 3 spirits without them nothing would have changed; because of them the memories will remain with him to remind him who he is. Scrooge is now willing to change into a better man so he could live a better life I the present and future. I think the story gives a good message to everyone who doesn’t like to give rather than take. It teaches them to treat other people well and not to be selfish. | 845 |

On a similar subject, I was hoping that Sanji's time on Okama Island would somehow allow him to overcome his inability to hit women. That was his most obvious weakness, and the time skip was focused on getting most of the Straw Hats to move past their limitations. I was disappointed that it ended up not being the case, and what I hear about his character development in the Whole Cake Island arc makes it sound like it's just not in the cards. Having a character as girl-crazy as Sanji overcome that mental block would be super badass, and Oda is perfectly capable of making a female villain so vile that even Sanji would have to bring out his pimp leg.

Want to know how to make your CV and application stand out from the crowd and be helpful to recruiters when trying to match you with a position that you are interested in? The more you can help them the easier and quicker it will be for them to assist you and land you that desired position.
Save your CV with your full name as the file name. Simple yet often overlooked and it’s helpful for the recruiter to know who you are, particularly when referring back to your CV at a later date.
Highlight your contact details, in bold or slightly bigger font, somewhere near the top of your CV. Don’t let the recruiter have to scan through the whole of your CV before they can find out how to contact you!
Your CV does not need to be an essay nor your entire life story but it does need to contain pertinent and relevant information to the position that you are applying for. Try and keep it within two pages, one is even better but can be tricky if you have a significant amount of work experience.
Keep all your job experience, qualifications etc brief and to the point. Bullet points are good here! Recruiters aren’t really interested in hyperbole nor your interests but the cold, hard and relevant facts!
Target your CV towards the job that you are applying for. Take out parts which are not relevant, edit and add information that is relevant. I know it’s a pain but every little aspect that you can do to make yourself stand out from the crowd will help you land that position.
Follow these tips and recruiters will fall in love with you and give you your dream job…..no just kidding, but in all seriousness it won’t harm your chances of getting hired at all.
Make sure that you state the position that you are applying for in your email. There is nothing more frustrating than receiving lots of candidates who are applying for the “advertised position”. Which position are you applying for exactly, we currently have 42 positions advertised! The recruiter may get so fed up with asking candidates which position you are applying for that they simply bin your application, despite you (potentially) being a great match for the role.
Do not waste your time, and the recruiter’s, school’s time by applying for jobs which you are not suitable nor qualified for. Don’t get me wrong, there may be times when it’s good to send our speculative emails for positions that may be suitable, but don’t apply for the position of a German teacher when you have only taught and can speak French for example! You’d be surprised how many candidates do this.
Last but by no means least, make sure you reply promptly to emails and messages when applying for jobs and liaising with recruiters. A recruiter may be waiting to get copies of your transcripts or degree and whilst they have been patiently waiting for you another candidate who was almost as good as you but sent all the relevant documents without being asked got in ahead of you.
So, these points may seem rather obvious with hindsight but as a recruiter we experience varying amounts of the above issues on a daily basis. Give yourself a little extra help by adhering to the above points and you will reap the rewards sooner or later!
Are there any points that we have missed? Is there anything that recruiters do that particularly annoy you as a candidate? Feel free to comment below!

With elevated workplaces adopting a hybrid or possibly an exclusively work from home setup, increasing numbers of people are altering their properties to get appropriate for remote work. For those who don’t know how to begin, follow this advice to create your home a good work atmosphere.
Guestrooms are wonderful to change right into a workplace since its likely they’re not going to have use soon. Without getting any spare rooms, arrange the household room or master bedroom to produce space for everything you may have to obtain work done, as being a desk or some filing cabinets. Use dividers a office and residential separate. This minimises distractions during work and keeps you from fretting about work whenever you clock out throughout the day.
Light keeps you awake and improves productivity. Put your primary workplace near a window or buy a top quality lamp to keep the region well lit. It always is essential. Furthermore, it plays an important role maintaining the fitness of your skin and hair. When you are getting some sunlight each day it’ll improve hair roots to regrow hair through the use of sunlight to change cholesterol into vitamin D. With handful of small changes you’ll be able to improve a great deal.
Working from home may well be more demanding and tiring than onsite work. To offset this, you can a diffuser or possibly a candle warmer somewhere within your office. You may even improve your bath to be able to soak to replenish your time and effort. There is also a great selection of baths suitable for small apartments.
A effective desktop or laptop may be pricey, nevertheless it allows you to certainly work without getting to bother with slow processing occasions. Whether it doesn’t have a high quality webcam or microphone, consider buying those to improve the grade of your video and audio for online conferences.
Online conferences are really standard, and to produce a good impression, you’re best employing a real backdrop as opposed to relying on filters. Arrange the location behind your workspace to make sure that it’s as well as professional-searching.
Switch to an idea that gives you faster internet to be able to experience smoother online conferences and minimise time lost due to slow upload and download speeds. It’ll accelerate your speed manifolds. You’d do many finish early. You’ll be able to invest your time and energy well, concentrate on many other fronts.
Discomfort is dangerous to productivity. Therefore, most office workspaces are particularly designed to prevent injuries introduced on by repetitive movements and prolonged sitting. To emulate this in your house, you might like to buy a proper chair plus a desk this is actually the perfect height to prevent you from slouching or straining. Your monitor height needs to be set to prevent your neck from tilting lower or up, because this may lead to muscle discomfort afterwards. Make certain that the office is well-ventilated and contains an Ac or heater to keep the temperature in the reasonable range.
This latest arrangement may be challenging, particularly for people who’ve grown acquainted with office existence. Mostly individuals who understand office existence battle to adjust in your house atmosphere but progressively you’d become adaptable for the home office setup. However, having a couple of do-it-yourself, you might still get yourself a semblance at work-existence balance and turn into productive. | 686 |
The Dalai Lama said that “If you think you are too small to make a difference, try sleeping with a mosquito.” Insects in food facilities may be tiny, but they can make a big difference to your products. The housefly in particular may be relatively small, but it is certainly not harmless!
Between the feet, mouthparts, and hairs on the body, houseflies can pick up small particles of debris, food, and even dust. With that debris: pathogens. If you look closely at a housefly, you can see lots of hairs all over the body that particles can get stuck to. Looking at their feet and their mouthparts under magnification, you observe a large surface area. Ever heard that flies “taste” with their feet? Their feet have taste-sensing neurons to help them determine if something is food and if it is something they want to eat. While houseflies have a preference for sweets, they will feed on almost any number of liquid or semi-liquid food sources. The surfaces on their mouthparts and feet also pick up particles from the surfaces they land and feed on.
Houseflies have been known to transfer bacteria like Salmonella, Escherichia coli, and Campylobacter. They have also been implicated in spreading fungi like Aspergillus and parasites like Giardia and hookworms. Here is how that works: A fly lands on an infected surface (feet touch), likely gets a taste of that food source (mouthparts touch), then flies off—only to land on another food or surface in your processing area. Now that surface can become contaminated. One study looked specifically at E. coli and found “From the initial contamination levels of bacteria and the number of transferred bacteria, it can be calculated that flies contaminate clean surfaces with approximately 0.1 mg of food per landing.1
Watch a housefly for a while and you notice they are constantly cleaning themselves. They use their legs to groom themselves after eating. They will wipe down their entire head, mouthparts, sometimes even their wings and body. Then they rub their legs together and “shake off” the particles left. Those particles can be contaminated with any number of pathogens. Once again, those can end up on your raw ingredients, food contact surfaces, or finished products. Despite the personal grooming, houseflies aren’t all that clean. A study showed that E. coli “persisted on fly body surfaces up to 13 days after exposure” and actually suggested that the pathogen had time for growth while on the fly body.2
What goes in, must come out. With houseflies, it comes out both ends! Houseflies have a regurgitation behavior, most often to help soften up and liquefy the next food item they want to feast on. It has been shown that both the regurgitation and the defecation substances can contain pathogens.
Houseflies are pathogen-transferring machines. They start their lifecycle as eggs and larvae in decomposing, rotting material like trash, feces, and carrion. Adults emerge from this material, land on it to feed and lay more eggs, then fly off to find new food sources and egg-laying sites. That could be anywhere in your food facility. Not only are flies an indication of a sanitation issue, but they also carry and transfer bacteria such as E. coli, Salmonella, and more pathogens to the foods and food surfaces at your site. Managing housefly (and all pest issues) is important from a filth and a contamination standpoint. Don’t let those little flies make a big difference:
- Make sure preventative measures are in place like properly sealed doors, sanitation on the outside of the building, and regularly emptying dumpsters so they don’t overflow.
- Insect light traps should be installed at key points to intercept and monitor for incoming flies. When the numbers in the traps start to increase, start looking for conditions that are causing that increase.
- In the warmer months, targeted treatments on areas where flies may rest on the outside of the building can be helpful in reducing populations.
- Houseflies are typically breeding outdoors, but entering a site through doors and other openings. Finding and removing those outside sanitation issues (breeding sites) will have the greatest impact on reducing overall fly numbers.
Flies are small, but even a few individuals can make a big difference when it comes to food safety. Knowing that they can transmit pathogens and where they might be feeding and breeding can help manage these pests. Using integrated approaches that include sanitation, exclusion, and monitors can help keep flies at a minimum and prevent food safety issues.

"The best thing about Lark Hill Village is the friendships"
The 97-year-old great grandfather recalls his childhood playing cricket on the cobbled streets of Yorkshire, and games of football with caps and coats put down as goalposts. He can remember the horse and cart that delivered the coal and the lamplighters with their long poles lighting the street lamps.
These days Victor enjoys keeping up to date with technology. "I’m texting now and I think that’s a good idea," he says.
Victor’s mother taught him how to sew, darn, scrub floors, wash and iron, dig a garden and clean windows. He won a scholarship to a grammar school but left aged 15 when she died. Victor then became a footman to a retired Scottish army major before joining the navy. During the war he met Marjorie at a dance; she was in the Women’s Royal Naval Service. They married after VE Day and had four daughters. After the war Victor became a school photographer, a dental mechanic and an insurance representative.
"I thought it was great," he said. He started a singing quartet with other residents. Victor has always liked music. During the war he was a member of a close harmony group performing in hospitals and camps. He enjoys musical events at the village and likes the tea dances on a Thursday afternoon.
The couple had been married for 66 years when Marjorie died in 2011. The book they wrote about their life, 'It was all worthwhile', is dedicated to her memory and to his family. It includes Victor’s wartime memories including being awarded the Légion d’honneur.
Victor believes the best thing about Lark Hill Village is the friendships: "The camaraderie you can get if you join in, but I don’t join in enough," he says.
He enjoyed taking part in Old People’s Home for 4-Year-Olds and says it was interesting to see a new generation. "It was great" he says.

It is deserted besides a few still inhabited houses. If youre there for ruins, they are not. Theyre still quite ok houses. Lots of graffiti everywhere. Apparently its every photographers dream though. Unless you are a hobby photographer its not worth it if you have to drive for hours imho. When we visited with a group of friends, half thought it was amazing, the other half thought it was meh. (Im the latter) Hope this helps a bit! (You can also google Doel pictures and get some idea) What i found the most interesting is the one remaining bar/cafeteria there, next to a windmill or so. Very chill to have a drink. | 140 |

On August 4, 2018, the newspaper The Guardian and the British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) reported on an analysis by the UK Local Government Association (LGA) finding that only one third of collected plastic food packaging can actually be recycled. The rest is sent to landfill.
According to the LGA, UK households use about 525,000 metric tons of plastic pots, tubs, and trays per year, but only 169,000 metric tons of this waste is recyclable. This is because manufacturers often use a mix of polymers, low-grade plastics, or black plastics, all of which are difficult or impossible to recycle. Therefore, manufacturers should collaborate with councils to stop using unrecyclable plastics, the government should consider a ban on low-grade plastics, and packaging producers should pay for the costs of collection and disposal of unrecyclable products, the LGA suggested. Further, the association provided five examples of difficult-to-recycle food packaging and offered ideas for improvement.

Stone Type: Granite
Granite is an igneous rock that forms under the ground by the slow cooling of magma. It is higher in silica content than diorite. The coarse structure of granite makes it unsuitable for refined percussion flaking, but it was often shaped by pecking and grinding into durable tools like stone axes. It was widely used for making sculptures and as building stone, and is familiar today as a popular material for headstones and countertops. | 98 |
A new mice study may help explain Ebola's varying impacts
Scientists in a biosafety level 4 lab have discovered that genetics are likely involved in how susceptible someone is to Ebola, finds a new mice study published in the journal Science.
Why some people survive Ebola and others do not, even when they’re treated in the same conditions, is a question that’s long intrigued researchers. The current outbreak has also revealed that humans show symptoms of the disease differently; a significant number do not present hemorrhagic fever symptoms like heavy diarrhea, vomiting and bleeding before death.
So far, researchers have primarily used monkeys to study the Ebola virus, but in the new study, the researchers discovered that a genetically diverse population of mice had wide variations in their responses and symptoms to the Ebola virus—similar to how humans have reacted. It’s notable because mice very rarely have similar immune responses to humans, which is why discoveries made in mouse models are evaluated skeptically.
When the researchers infected the mice with Ebola, they found that some of the mice survived with mild disease symptoms, some died, and some died with severe hemorrhagic fever symptoms similar to those observed in humans. Researchers Michael G. Katze and Angela L. Rasmussen of the University of Washington also identified a few potential genetic pathways that might differ in mice who survive the disease versus those who die from it. The hope is that these pathways could help researchers develop drugs for the disease.
“We now have a model that represents the human Ebola disease that we could test vaccines in, we could test novel therapeutics in, and we also could start getting information about the genes that are responsible for the resistance to Ebola and the susceptibility to Ebola,” said Katze in a video about the study. Before the researchers can make the leap to developing drugs for humans, they will have to confirm that the pathways also exist in humans and work in the same way. But the new research is a starting point.
The team started studying the progression of the Ebola virus in mice a few years ago, before the current outbreak of Ebola started in West Africa. Only a handful of of scientists work in the few high-security containment labs in the United States. The training, Katze told TIME, is intense and requires psychological testing. “We’ve been studying Ebola for almost a decade. We’ve always been interested in Ebola because it’s a very interesting virus. It’s like the rockstar of viruses,” Katze told TIME in early October.

How Argentine provinces participate in foreign policy decision-making was the topic of a Global Dialogue roundtable in Buenos Aires on May 8. Senior Argentine officials from federal and provincial governments joined academics in discussing this issue. The country roundtable was organized by Ambassador Eduardo Iglesias from the Argentine Council on International Relations as part of the Global Dialogue program of the Forum of Federations.
The first issue of discussion was the constitutional framework that exists in Argentina for constituent units to take part in foreign relations. Participants agreed that the 1994 reform of the federal constitution acknowledged changes in this direction already enacted by provincial constitutions. What provinces can do in terms of signing agreements with provincial and foreign governments was one of the main topics of discussion.
The debate turned towards the increasing participation of provinces in foreign relations. The exchange rate adopted after the economic crisis of 2001 reshaped Argentine patterns of economic development, boosting regional economies. As a consequence, the provinces enjoyed increased autonomy in negotiating agreements and doing business abroad. Another view that emerged from the discussions is that intergovernmental relations around foreign policy in Argentina are changing fast. Against this background, participants discussed the potential usefulness of enacting specific norms for the behaviour of provinces abroad. However, there was a consensus that the norms already in place are sufficient but that there is a need for sharing practices on this subject.
Interestingly, representatives from constituent units realized that they are facing an increased role of local governments and municipalities in foreign relations. The problems in coordination that arise between the national and provincial governments also take place between provincial and local governments. There is a growing involvement in foreign relations by the Argentine regions, such as the Northern provinces region. There are definitely new patterns emerging in intergovernmental relations.
Representatives from small provinces, always suspicious of Buenos Aires centralism, claimed that the federal government does not call for consultations when it is called upon to stake out a position in the international arena on a subject matter that falls within the provincese’ jurisdictions. Whether provinces play a key role in Mercosur negotiations was the subject of intense discussion among participants. The lack of effective mechanisms of coordination among federal and provincial governments emerged as the main challenge ahead. Participants also discussed the potential effectiveness of different initiatives such as visits of officials from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to the provinces or the provision of training courses to officials at the provincial level.
In Argentina today, the budget of the province of Buenos Aires for promoting exports is larger than that of the federal government. This fact highlighted the persistent unequal distribution of powers and capacities among provinces and its effects on foreign policy. Although the international activities of provinces are now largely accepted by the federal government, the role to be played by the federal government in coordinating actions and promoting products from smaller provinces is still important, perhaps even more so than before.

The Healthcare industry is on the frontline, directly batting the COVID-19 pandemic. Healthcare providers can use all the help they can get to overcome this pandemic and provide critical services to those affected. Artificial Intelligence is aiming, in a big way, to play its part.
AI has the potential to scan for symptoms, help in decision making, and aid in the effective triage of patients. This post examines the various ways in which AI can help in the fight against COVID-19.
Detection of symptoms
The coronavirus is problematic because asymptomatic people can spread the virus without being aware. Early detection of these symptoms is now more than ever important to prevent further spread of infections. It can also enable a quicker reception of treatment.
Companies worldwide have announced numerous AI systems that can detect COVID-19 on chest CT or X-ray scans. AI has the ability to relieve radiologists of their workload reducing the time to review and prioritize a large number of patient chest scans.
RADLogics, a healthcare IT company, provided a data analytics platform for medical imaging while diagnosing COVID-19. It reports up to 98 percent accuracy, therefore implying that these AI systems will replace standard nucleic acid tests as the primary diagnostic tool for coronavirus infection.
A novel case of the application of AI-based tools for early detection of symptoms is the ongoing study conducted by the West Virginia University Rockefeller Neuroscience Institute and Oura Health. The RNI has developed a neuroscience platform that continuously monitors human physiology.
This platform makes use of an Oura Ring, designed to be worn on a finger and it is able to take measurements such as heart rate, HRV, temperature, and sleep patterns. The Oura Ring combines the use of a smartphone app and AI-guided models to predict the commencement of COVID-19 related symptoms such as fever, coughing, and breathing difficulties. It can forecast these symptoms quickly with over 90 percent accuracy.
With further research and developments, AI-powered technology has the potential to aid in decision making that helps in containing the spread of viral infections. It can determine decisions related to safely re-opening communities and facilitating public health containment strategies during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Triage and diagnosis
The high rate of coronavirus infections during the COVID-19 pandemic resulted in a plethora of individuals flooding emergency rooms, impacting the triage capability of Healthcare professionals in determining critical cases and the need for intensive care.
AI and healthcare organizations can come together to tackle this issue. AI systems in some medical centers around the United States have been used to predict the course of a patient’s illness. Now they are being repurposed and retooled into systems that predict outcomes that are specific to COVID-19, such as intubation and ventilation.
These AI-powered systems have learned about patterns of illness through data analysis taken from thousands of patients. Though there isn’t enough data from COVID patients to create new predictive tools, so researchers are studying the possibilities of customizing existing tools to help with the coronavirus pandemic.
Technology start-up Diagnostic Robotics has developed a triage and monitoring system to help healthcare organizations. The tool aims to lessen the healthcare system’s overload, by determining the course of action, while reducing direct contact with medical teams. The AI-based tool helps in remote screening to reduce the incoming inquiries at support centers from people who have questions about potential coronavirus symptoms.
The tool delivers personalized guidance based on a thorough self-assessment. It directs appropriate ‘stay at home’ measures. It also enables monitoring the community for hotspots of coronavirus through the use of heat maps, and could even be used in ‘track and trace’ systems.
Diagnostic Robotics provides a dashboard that facilitates remote monitoring and risk assessment of symptomatic people by highlighting any relevant changes in clinical status.
Research and development of a Vaccine
Utilization of AI has helped the industry in accelerating the process of discovering new drugs and vaccines, including possible treatments for the coronavirus.
The types of vaccines, according to the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, that scientists are interested in are the subunit vaccines and nucleic acid vaccines. Subunit and nucleic acid vaccines both infect the genetic material of the pathogen into human cells to stimulate an immune response.
AI helps in expediting the development of subunit and nucleic acid vaccines. Proteins are a fundamental part of viruses and once scientists understand the structure of the protein, they can develop response-based drugs that work with its unique structure. AI can accelerate this process and helps in identifying compounds that can vector in the unique protein structure. In January, Google DeepMind introduced Alphafold, a system that predicts the 3D structure of a protein-based on its genetic sequence. The system was put to test on COVID-19 in early March 2020. It released protein structure predictions on proteins related to SARS-Cov-2, the virus closely related to COVID-19. In this manner, the research community can understand the virus better and develop a potential vaccine more quickly.
AI is generally considered a useful tool for Healthcare organizations, but the COVID-19 pandemic has shown how essential this can truly be.
Especially now, when social distancing is crucial, AI can help limit unnecessary contact with patients who show little to no symptoms and allows the medical staff to focus on more critical patients.
With further research and development, AI’s augmentation within the healthcare industry can only improve recognized and unthought-of use cases, paving the way for change in the way we think about managing and responding to crises such as the Coronavirus pandemic.

Last year, President Joe Biden signed the Juneteenth National Independence Day Act into law, making a holiday that originated in Galveston in 1866 into a federal observance. The holiday is called Emancipation Day in Texas, because it marks the end of legal bondage of black people in the last state in the union with institutional slavery. Texas was not the only place where slavery continued after Abraham Lincoln’s Emancipation Proclamation on January 1, 1863. It just held on the longest. Slaves were not emancipated in Texas because Texans realized they should be treated as equals- they were emancipated because their owners lost a war.
When we see the gaping discrepancies between Texans of color and white Texans in areas including (but not limited to) health and wellness, educational achievement, employment opportunities, home ownership, income, and inherited wealth, it is clear that manumission does not demand respect for the humanity and dignity of all people. Likewise, making Juneteenth a federal holiday does not compel our legislatures to change policies that continue to enable a small minority of people to thrive at the expense of the majority. Juneteenth is not only a chance to celebrate the emancipated that took place on a June day in 1865. It is a reminder that it is up to every one of us to make that freedom mean something, every day, by resisting the human inclination to be slaves and to enslave.
At the Passover seder, Jews recite these words, “In every generation a person must see themselves as if they themselves had gone forth out of Egypt.” We may not have been a slave or a slaveowner in this country before emancipation. But that does not mean we are absolved from responsibility for the kind of slavery that persists wherever we are, in every age.
As President Biden said in his remarks last year, “…the promise of equality is not going to be fulfilled until… it becomes real in our schools and on our Main Streets and in our neighborhoods — our healthcare system and ensuring that equity is at the heart of our fight against the pandemic; in the water that comes out of our faucets and the air that we breathe in our communities; in our justice system — so that we can fulfill the promise of America for all people. All of our people….We can’t rest until the promise of equality is fulfilled for every one of us in every corner of this nation. That, to me, is the meaning of Juneteenth. That’s what it’s about.” | 530 |

Children's LiteratureCounting books are plentiful, so there needs to be something to make one stand out from the others. In this case, the author has chosen an ocean habitat and uses the animals and plants that live there as part of the counting lesson. Sandy beaches, cool waters filled with fish and other creatures come immediately to mind. The lesson includes shellfish, fish, sea birds, sea mammals, and other denizens of the seas. In the final spread kids are greeted by ten dolphins. The animals have more of a cartoon look than realistic depictions. There is nothing outstanding about this counting book, but it is adequate. 2005, Northword, Ages 2 to 5. | 144 |
Thanks to ZeroCater for providing this great post! Save the infographic to your favorites or pin it on Pinterest so that you can refer back whenever you’re planning a seasonal meal. You can see the original post here.
Step into any grocery store at any time, and you’re likely to find the same collection of produce. There will be carrots year round, as well as bananas and apples, probably even blueberries, peaches, spinach and cucumbers.
Most of us realize those food items aren’t actually in season most of the time they’re available for sale. Out-of-season produce lacks taste, texture an even nutrition. (Ever had an imported tomato in the middle of winter?) It’s rarely grown close to where you live, meaning huge amounts of labor and fuel go into getting you your peaches in December—when the fresh season in places such as Georgia usually winds down in August and September.

Running head: HAND HYGIENE RESEARCH STUDY
HAND HYGIENE RESEARCH STUDY 6
Hand hygiene research study.
Marilyn Sanchez Muniz
Grand Canyon University
Introduction to Nursing Research
Naturally, our hands have germs on them. Some live on the hands while others are picked up when touching surfaces or objects such as chairs, tables, and beds and so on when doing our day-to-day activities. This is normal and does not pose a risk. However, as you go about your nursing role in care settings, your hands pick up a lot of germs, and they can cause harm when passed to another individual like to a patient or a client. Hand hygiene gets rid of most of these types of germs. Hand hygiene involves washing hands and drying them thoroughly. In this paper, I will summarize a research study I did in topic one and provide ethical considerations of the study.
The central endeavor of this study is to analyze and evaluate the risk involved when healthcare providers fail to observe hand hygiene and important of installing hand sanitizer dispensers in appropriate locations in the healthcare setting (Cure, 2015). The purpose of this study is to educate healthcare providers on the importance and benefits of observing hand hygiene during care delivery to themselves, their colleagues and patients.
This research topic is very important to nursing. When healthcare providers fail to observe appropriate hand hygiene, they are at increased risks of getting infections, spreading them to their fellow providers and patients. These healthcare providers can be infected with surgical site infections, bloodstream infections, gastrointestinal infections, chest or respiratory infections and urinary tract infections or spread them to their colleagues or patients. This study exposes the risks of not adhering to hand hygiene practices and emphasize on the importance of hand sanitizer dispensers on hand hygiene (Cure, 2015). Therefore, this study should be deemed essential and relevant to nursing practice.
Moreover, patients usually carry microbes without portraying any sign of an infection. Therefore, healthcare providers can pass infections from one patient to another. The main objective of this article under study is to explore hand hygiene, its importance, and risks involved if hand hygiene is not observed appropriately. The purpose of this research work is to emphasize on the importance of hand hygiene in the healthcare settings.
Methods of study
The author of the study conducted a systematic review of the qualitative studies on hand hygiene. The author laid down the behavior of nurses and other healthcare providers of not observing hand hygiene practices. The authors conducted qualitative research to investigate the risks that nurses expose to patients when they fail to comply with the recommended hand hygiene practices they are expected to follow.
The authors compose the research work based on searching for electronic databases and evaluating them. Some of the databases that were helpful to this research work include Social Policy and Practice, British Nursing Index and American Nurses Associations. Relevant and vital papers were also searched and assessed. The strategy used in searching combined effective methodological terms for qualitative research and particular terms of hand hygiene.
The researchers used observations, face-to-face qualitative interviews, as well as focus groups which were published in the peer-reviewed articles as samples. They also assessed the patients’ perspective and opinions on nurses’ hand hygiene. The researchers also included quantitative questionnaire analysis and patients’ telephone interviews. Furthermore, the researchers included interviews of patients who were infected with various types of infections by nurses who fail to adhere to hand hygiene practices. These researchers also considered source materials in different languages as samples. This is because the languages of the researchers were not a barrier to the study. They also included modes of translation within the research study framework.
Data were analyzed and synthesized using steps which are recommended by United Kingdom Economic and Social Research Council (ESRC) for research methods and program guidance. Complying with the technique, reproducible and systematic techniques were provided regarding narrative synthesis and for promoting transparency when it comes to reporting and evaluating the robustness of the study outcomes. The researchers used thematic analysis and textual summary to combine the outcomes. They also adopted the “one-sheet-paper method” using textual summaries as well as full text of papers if needed.
Results of the study
The study found that the primary cause of healthcare providers’ hand unhygienic practices is due to lack of enough hand sanitizer dispensers in hospitals. In fact, some healthcare organizations did not have hand sanitizer dispensers — this inconvenienced healthcare providers as they cannot keep on getting out to wash their hands in the washrooms now and then while patients are waiting for their services. The study also found that some hospitals have adequate hand sanitizer dispensers which are placed in strategic locations but nurses still comply with 50 percent or less of the recommended hand hygiene practices (Cure, 2015). They put their patients, their colleagues and themselves of risks of being infected with infections associated with medical equipment and medical environment.
The outcomes of the study are entirely relevant to nursing practitioners. From the results, nurses and other healthcare providers can understand the importance of hand hygiene and the risks of not adhering to hand hygiene practices in the healthcare setting. Nurses and other healthcare providers should understand the recommended hand hygiene practices and adhere to them to improve their safety, the safety of their colleagues and their patients. Hand hygiene also keeps the care environment clean. The article also helps hospital management and administrators on the importance of mounting hand sanitizer dispensers in appropriate locations within the hospital premises (Cure, 2015). If healthcare providers increase their hand hygiene from the current below 50 % of the recommended times, the number of patients who get infected with healthcare-associated infection can reduce.
This study depended on both primary and secondary sources in electronic databases form. There is no respondent/participant who was directly involved in this research study and the study processes. Therefore, the study did not demand any ethical approval.
The study adhered to formatting and norms of good qualitative research study. The data collection methods were indisputable and transparent. The research methodology, in its entirety, was free from errors. The outcomes of the study are relevant to the nursing practice as healthcare providers can learn a lot from it regarding hand hygiene. Healthcare administration can also learn from the study as they can install or mount hand sanitizer dispensers at appropriate locations in their hospitals. The study is a good source of information for hand hygiene and why it is essential in care setting.

The long-term prognosis, however, is inescapable: "the sweet dream of universal cultural compatibility has been replaced," as Theodore Dalrymple puts it, "by the nightmare of permanent conflict.". Reflections on the Revolution in France is a 1790 book by Edmund Burke, one of the best-known intellectual attacks against the (then-infant) French Revolution. * Another method of jihad: Indigenous Muslims of northwestern Europe have in the past year deployed three distinct forms of jihad: the crude variety deployed in Britain, killing random passengers moving around London; the targeted variety in the Netherlands, where individual political and cultural leaders are singled out, threatened, and in some cases attacked, and now the more diffuse violence in France, less specifically murderous but also politically less dismissible.

Did you know that reading reduces stress? * End of an era: The time of cultural innocence and political naivete, when the French could blunder without seeing or feeling the consequences, is drawing to a close.

Thousands of people gathered each Saturday, blocking traffic and protesting against the government of President Emmanuel Macron. He also launched a Grand Débat in January so he could “listen to the French people and understand their concerns.” During the next two months he traveled the country, holding meetings with hundreds of French citizens that went on for hours. Many rioters see themselves in a power struggle with the state and so focus their attacks on its symbols.

I can't just power down the slave(MPU-6050) because its inputs are not tolerant to 3.3V when its Vcc=0V.
I also found this interesting related question, but the solutions proposed do not work for me (I have limited board space and specific ICs availability are a problem for me for this projects budget).
When Attiny is programming, its outputs are high-impedance, R5 turns M3 off. C1 is mainly to prevent glitches on the pin from turning M3 back on again.
R7 then turns M1 and M2 off, and SCK/MOSI can "bounce" freely without disturbing the I2C slave(s).
Upon booting, the Attiny turns M3 on, providing power to the I2C bus.
Would this work? Am I overlooking or overcomplicating something?
You have the right idea, but I think your circuit can be simplified.
In the idle condition both SCL and SDA should be high, so connect R1 and R2 directly to +3.3V. M1 and M2 have body diodes that must not be allowed to transfer logic low from the ATTiny to the MPU-6050, so you need to swap their Source and Drain connections.
The Gates of M1 and M2 can be driven directly from a GPIO pin, then M3 and R7 are not required. C1 and R5 now connect to Ground instead of +3.3V, and the GPIO pin pulls high to enable the I2C connection.
An I2C 'Start' condition is defined as SDA going from high to low while SCL is high. A slave device shouldn't drive SCL unless it is busy and wants to slow down the data transfer, so SCL should be safe from interference unless the MPU-6050 sees a Start condition while it is busy doing something else. With SDA held high (by R2 with M2 switched off) the MPU-6050 won't see a Start condition so it should leave SCL alone, and M1 and R3 are not required.

Paper, essentially a relatively flat sheet of bonded cellulose or plant fibers, can be surprisingly strong and long lasting. As with most organic substances though, it is susceptible to decay when exposed to certain environmental conditions such as too much or too little humidity or excessive heat. Paper can also begin to break down due to the acidity from pollutants in the paper fiber, from media (such as ink) that have been applied, or from surface dirt or grime, such as oils from human skin as the paper is handled.
facing page as the acidity leached from one page to the next.
Book and Paper Conservators have various treatment methods for removing or reducing the harmful effects of pollutants from paper, such as surface cleaning, deacidification, and aqueous treatment. Aqueous treatment is most often described as the process of cleaning and deacidifying paper by submerging it in a bath of water, or a series of baths. Depending on the item being treated, each bath may last from about fifteen minutes to more than an hour. After each bath, the item being treated is removed from the bath and the dirty water is emptied and replaced with clean water. This process continues until the bath water runs clear or almost clear after soaking. Aqueous treatment reduces the acidity of the paper somewhat, often reduces the discoloration caused by age or environmental exposure, and helps remove some of the dirt and grime from the paper. It can also be a great method for removing some types of tape and adhesives from previous repairs like paper tapes.

This map of Boston is from The Life of George Washington, 1807, and was at one time attached in the book with paper tape or else mended with paper tape at some point. Paper tape often has a water-soluble adhesive, so aqueous treatment is an effective way to remove it, provided the paper can be submerged in a bath of water. Sometimes the paper is too fragile to withstand aqueous treatment or it might contain media, such as ink or watercolor, that is soluble in water, which prevents a conservator from using an aqueous treatment. For that reason, the media must first be tested for solubility. If it is stable, aqueous treatment can proceed.

was stable and aqueous treatment could proceed.
Once the media for this map was tested, the map was placed on a piece of Hollytex. Hollytex is a thin, strong, acid-free, woven polyester that acts as a support while the paper is in the water bath. A second sheet was placed on top so that the map was sandwiched between and it was easier and safer to handle.
Before placing the map in the water bath, it was humidified lightly to help it absorb water more easily once submerged. A Dahlia Sprayer - commonly used in conservation, was imported from Japan, and was selected for its ability to provide a fine mist without droplets or splatters - was used to humidify the front and back of the page prior to submersion.

After soaking for about a half hour, the adhesive from the paper tape had softened enough to release from the map. The paper tape was peeled back to the extent possible, then a microspatula and a larger plastic spatula were both used to loosen and lift the remainder of the paper tape carrier.
Once both layers of the paper tape were removed, the surface of the map where the tape was adhered was lightly massaged to remove any remaining adhesive.

The map was then soaked in several successive baths to remove acidity and discoloration to the extent possible.
When tilted, it was easier to see how discolored the water had become.
After the last bath, the map was removed from the bath and placed on a blotter to air dry. Sometimes, paper items will need flattening after washing, but fortunately this map dried flat on its own.

Problem A. 479. (April 2009)
A. 479. Decide whether there exists a positive integer n that is divisible by 103 and satisfies .
Dutch competition problem, composed by Hendrik Lenstra, Leiden
Deadline expired on May 15, 2009.
Solution. Suppose such an n exists. Since n is divisible by 103 we conclude , and since 103 is odd we conclude . Furthermore 103 is prime, and Fermat's theorem yields . For d=gcd(2n,102) this yields . Note that 102=6×17. If n is not divisible by 17, then d must be a divisor of 6, and would imply ; a contradiction. Hence n is divisible by 17.
The original congruence yields , and since 17 is odd we conclude . Furthermore 17 is prime, and little Fermat yields . For e=gcd(2n,16) this yields . The cases e=1, e=2, e=4 yield immediate contradictions. Hence e is divisible by 8, and n is divisible by 4.
The original congruence yields . But now the LHS is divisible by 4, whereas the RHS is not. This contradiction shows that no such n exists.

There are around 7.4 million nesting pairs of Willow Warblers in Finland, making it our most common native wild bird. In 2020, 80 million broiler chickens were killed in Finnish slaughterhouses. If there is a bird looking at a human, the bird in question is most likely a broiler. Yet few of us have ever seen a living broiler.
A picture of a modern broiler farm is a representation of the factory farming of animals in its purest form. The bird has been turned into a product that is alive instead of living. Its aliveness and its death are governed at a biological level. The average life expectancy of a broiler is 35 days. Knowledge of the intellectual capacities and welfare of these animals is ignored, and the value of the birds is determined by their ability to generate profit.
The photographs of this exhibition were taken at broiler farms without the owners knowing about it. The purpose of the photographs is to put a face on these invisible animals and show the conditions in which they are farmed.
Through their photography, Kristo Muurimaa (b. 1975) and Juho Kerola (b. 1982) document the relationship of humans with other animals – especially with those that live at the mercy of humans. As animal rights activists, Muurimaa and Kerola have a long track record of exposing the status of factory farm animals in Finland. | 284 |
Setting day of the week is tedious. The little side knob (“crown”) is pulled out one stop for date and two stops to set time. To set day of week pull out the two stops to set time then turn the knob through 24 hours for each day. I had Mon when I got it and it was Fri I needed so I spent five minutes turning and turning, each time passing midnight moved the day on once. Hopefully now it is correct, never again. Found the strap fitted well, on an average male wrist, so didn’t need to adjust and springiness was just right for comfortable wear yet easy on and off. The bracelet does act as a painful depilatory of course (once hairless is OK). There are no bespoke instruction for T20031, The on-line manual saves time by having confusing instructions for many different watches at once. What bad salesmanship!
First off let me get a few things clear from my experience with this watch vs the reviews.
1. this watch fits perfectly nice on my wrist, i’m not a kid by any means i’m a 6 foot 3 230lb man who has a pretty thick wrist. It feels perfectly comfortable on my wrist, it feels like its barely there but keeps its place on my wrist and it’s not even close to being fully stretched out but its also not loose.
2. The instructions, you mean what instructions? the one it comes with is just it saying its water resistant in like 7 different languages, to get the ACTUAL instructions in how to set this you have to go online. That being said I did NOT have as much trouble as some people in the reviews did, I set the time day and date within under a minute of setting it up. I however have not set the alarm yet as i’m debating whether I even need to.
3. The quality, it feels like a very solid product I dont feel like its a cheap dimestore watch it feels like one of those deals you find in a store where you get the feeling you’re getting your moneys worth for what you’re paying for, this is a solid watch.
4. Check your battery, keep an eye on how good the timekeeping is, I suspect alot of people have gotten faulty batteries which does happen in such a mass produced watch but its really no fault on the product itself.
5. Awesome for winter, I keep very bulky watches (like my casio rangeman which is a 175 dollar watch) but in winter time, especially going into the city you dont want a bulky watch that makes having sweaters and gloves and getting things out of your pocket difficult, this easily slips under my gloves, sweater and doesn’t obstruct me getting things from my pocket, its very streamlined. I love that.
Overall I think this is a great watch. It reminds me alot of what my Grandfather wore and I think that is what it was aiming for, your grandpa’s old expandable band timekeeper, It wasn’t the most beautiful thing on the planet but it got the job done and kept on ticking.
small update: its accurately keeping time, on the dot and its been a few days now.
2nd update: its been a month now still as accurate as the day I set it.
3rd update: its now may 10th and its still keeping time and hasn’t missed a beat, still on the same minute as every other accurate watch. It’s been good to me in the rain, washing my hands, etc. I did get the silver tone and if you do some hard labor you’ll get scratches here and there but this is a working man’s watch that wants to look nice and it’s doing its job at that.
final update: this thing is still ticking, I haven’t had to re-adjust it and it’s keeping time accurately, it’s now august 2018.
Bought this watch for my husband who has rheumatoid arthritis in his hands and wrists and suffers with clumsy fingers and swollen wrists. He finds it excellent and can just pull the watch on with no fiddly strap to buckle. He likes the face of the watch which is exceptionally clear and easy to read. The watch lights up in the dark, so you can see the time, if you wake up in the night. The battery lasts ten years and the watch is smart and stylish, as well as being wonderfully practical.
The watch itself keeps good time but despite endless experimentation I cannot find a way to set the date display. Furthermore the expanding metal bracelet appears to have been designed to fit the wrist of an extremely thin person. I don’t think my wrists are particularly large but after a few days of having them gouged by the bracelet I threw in the towel and replaced it with a leather strap. Perhaps Messrs. Timex should consider this option before placing skin embossing equipment on the market. And instructions on how to set the date would not go amiss either.
Looks smart and the stainless steel bracelet is expensive looking. Easy to read numbers and day/date. Fits well. Very easy to see at night once you press the knob on the side. It’s not a glow-in-the-dark but in fact you switch on a light when you press the knob, which illuminates the dial. Being very short-sighted, at night I have to approach the watch slowly to allow my eyes to adjust! Excellent purchase. I came to Timex after two Lorus watches failed between 12-18 months and the customer service was very poor. Don’t think I’ll regret my decision!
Most watches these days are way too big, too heavy, too thick, or otherwise uncomfortable. 35mm is the perfect size for me and I hope Timex doesn’t kill it in favor of going crazy big like everyone else. Also, I don’t know why there are so few watches with Arabic numerals. I need to be able to quickly and accurately tell the time under stressful conditions, and I appreciate how Timex uses Arabic numerals and an uncluttered dial.
Speaking to its sturdiness, I’m wearing my 7 year old Easy Reader right now and it’s been completely battered over the years. I wear it when commercial fishing and there isn’t a place on the watch that isn’t scratched or dented. I’ve never had a problem with water resistance either, but truth be told I did open the case back and rubbed a bunch of silicon around the gasket before sealing it back up, so that no doubt helped.
It’s also the most comfortable watch I wear. After removing one link from the expansion bracelet it fits like it was designed for me. I also view the expansion bracelet as a safety feature for me. Should the bracelet get hung up on moving machinery it will just slip off instead of pulling my hand along with it. It’s happened and the Timex was slingshot off of my wrist and into a steel bulkhead. I put it back on and it worked like nothing had happened. The relative thinness of the case allows it to slip easily under sleeves where other watches would get hung up on.
This watch does have some finicky aspects, but considering the ridiculously low price, they’re not even worth mentioning.
Bottom line: This is the best watch for what watches are supposed to do, no gimmicks.
the watch is a simple and effective timepiece. the bracelet strap is durable and attractive.
the watch face is simple/old school design which i like.
i would have preferred it without the day/date dial as this is very small and detracts from it being an easy read watch.
the light is great if you wear the watch in bed, as i do. i can wake up and check the time without moving my head or turning over to read a clock or phone.
i have bought several of these over the years and they have all given good service, on the down side they are now becoming expensive, the first two i bought years ago from asda supermarket cost £20.00 each. now they are £50.00 each which is a massive increase in price. overall, still a good useful watch, no one is going to envy you wearing it but it is so far as telling the time and having a light with a decent expandable strap much more use than the ubiquitous rolex. depends how big your ego is i suppose. | 1,788 |

Neoadjuvant chemotherapy in patients with locally advanced breast cancer: A pilot-observational study.
BACKGROUND
Locally advanced breast cancer (LABC) remains major clinical issue with regard to selection and duration of therapy since many years. Neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NACT) is multimodality program, established to treat LABC. Many research tasks are ongoing to develop specific neoadjuvant chemotherapy regimen with specific duration to improve long-term control of LABC.
PATIENTS AND METHODS
Forty-seven patients diagnosed with LABC were Included and analyzed to compare the outcomes [pathological complete response (pCR), clinical response, overall response rate (ORR), disease control rate, overall survival and progression-free survival]. These patients treated with either combination of anthracycline and taxane-based chemotherapy or anthracycline-based chemotherapy.
RESULTS
There was no any statistical significance with respect to demographic data treated of patients between two arms (P>0.05). Patients underwent TAC chemotherapy had pCR 20.8% whereas FAC/FEC chemotherapy patients had pCR 13% (P=0.48). Higher ORR was noted in TAC chemotherapy arm (75%) when compared with FAC/FEC chemotherapy arm (60.9%) (P=0.29). The study also shows better disease control rate in TAC chemotherapy arm (95.8%) as compared to FAC/FEC chemotherapy arm (82.6%). There was no statistical significance in overall survival (P=0.31) and progression-free survival (P=0.51) between two arms.
CONCLUSION
Despite of the superiority of combination of anthracycline and taxane-based chemotherapy over the anthracycline-based chemotherapy in the present study, further pivotal studies should be conducted to confirm the combination of anthracycline and taxane-based chemotherapy as a better neoadjuvant regimen for treatment of LABC tumors. | 417 |

Stability of UHV Converter Transformer Winding Under Short-circuit Force
The UHVDC converter transformer structure is complex, and the valve, grid, and voltage-regulation windings are the crucial components that realize voltage conversion and energy transmission. When short circuit happens in the system, the converter transformer windings need to have the ability to withstand the short-circuit force to avoid serious accidents, so the winding force characteristics and stability are the essential factors to estimate the quality of the transformer. At present, there is a lack of analysis of the winding resistance and force stability of UHV converter transformers. In this paper, the short-circuit force stability of different windings is calculated, and the suggestion for improving the stability of windings are given. | 160 |
Wing Loading Calculator
Our wing loading calculator will help you determine the wing loading parameter, one of the crucial starting points in the aircraft design process. Whether you want to calculate the wing loading of your RC plane or a crewed aircraft, our calculator will prove helpful. Join us below to briefly discuss what wing loading is and how to calculate it.
What is wing loading?
Wing loading or wing area loading (WAL) is a calculation used to determine the amount of lift generated by an aircraft wing. It is also a measure of the aircraft's weight divided by the wing's area. The formula for wing loading :
Similar to pressure, the units for measuring wing loading are or .
This calculation is essential for pilots, as it allows them to determine how much weight their plane can safely carry. In the following sections, we will explore how to calculate wing loading and discuss its benefits and drawbacks.
How to calculate wing loading?
Wing loading is determined by calculating the aircraft's weight and dividing that weight by the area of the wing. Let's look at how we can gather this data:
- The weight of an aircraft can be measured in various ways, depending on its size and configuration. For smaller aircraft, such as those used for recreational flying or light sport aviation, the pilot may record their weight when they board the plane and use that as a measure of weight. Pilots can obtain this measurement through instrumentation on the plane for larger or cargo aircraft or those involved in commercial aviation.
- Wing area calculation is often done using either basic geometric figures, such as a triangle or circle, or more complex shapes derived from mathematical formulas. For smaller or recreational aircraft, we can obtain this measurement by taking simple measurements of the wing: for example, we can measure the length and width of the wing to calculate its area (our area of a rectangle calculator can help you). For larger aircraft, we must use specialized software that can model the shape and dimensions of the aircraft's wings.
Calculating wing cube loading
Wing cube loading or cubic loading (WCL) is a similar parameter that is given by the formula:
Similar to density, the units for measuring wing cube loading are or .
The calculation of wing cube loading can tell us how to group planes based on their flying characteristics - two planes with the same cubic loading will have similar flyability. The same is not necessarily valid for aircraft with the same wing loading values.
Using this wing loading calculator
This wing-loading calculator is simple to use:
- Enter the wing area of the plane.
- Input the ready-to-fly (RTF) weight of the aircraft.
- The calculator will automatically determine the wind loading parameter from the wing loading formula. It will also calculate wing cube loading for you.
- Clicking on the
advanced modegives some selection of aircraft. Choose any aircraft to autofill the wing area and ready-to-fly weight data. You can also change some values it gives you. | 612 |

Washington, November 21 (ANI): A research team led by the University of Colorado at Boulder has found a clever way to use traditional GPS satellite signals to measure snow depth as well as soil and vegetation moisture, a technique expected to benefit meteorologists, water resource managers, climate modelers and farmers.
The researchers have developed a technique that uses interference patterns created when GPS signals that reflect off of the ground called "multipath" signals - are combined with signals that arrive at the antenna directly from the satellite, according to CU-Boulder aerospace engineering sciences Professor Kristine Larson, who is leading the study.
"Since such multipath signals arrive at GPS receivers "late," they have generally been viewed as noise by scientists and engineers and have largely been ignored," said Larson, who is leading a multi-institution research effort on the project.
In one recent demonstration, the team was able to correlate changes in the multipath signals to snow depth by using data collected at a field site in Marshall, Colorado just south of Boulder, which was hit by two large snowstorms over a three-week span in March and April of 2009.
The snowpack study built on a project Larson and her colleagues have been working on that is funded by the National Science Foundation to measure soil moisture using GPS receivers.
Larson's group is the first to use traditional GPS receivers, which were designed for use by surveyors and scientists to measure plate tectonics and geological processes, to assess snowpack, soil moisture and vegetation moisture.
The team hopes to apply the technique to data collected from an existing network of more than 1,000 GPS receivers in place around the West known as the Plate Boundary Observatory, a component of NSF's Earthscope science program.
"By using the Plate Boundary Observatory for double duty, so to speak, we hope this will be a relatively inexpensive and accurate method that can benefit climate modelers, atmospheric researchers and farmers throughout the West," said Larson. (ANI) | 403 |
Children are more prone for sport injury due to various factors. Sometimes sports injury can be lethal or disabling for the kid. Every precaution to be taken to prevent it.
About two to three decades ago, sports was encouraged among the children only as recreational activity. It is very helpful for growth and development for the child. It will inculcate the habit of regularity, hard work , accept failures in life and accept more challenges. This will be helpful when he matures.
In recent times, every parent and coach is expecting more from kids. That buts more burden on him physically and mentally. This is the main cause for the sports injury. Following condition will be responsible for more injury in children.
1. Growth Plate: Children doesn't behave like adults to injury. The bones are more flexible and muscle and ligaments are stretchable. What makes the child more prone for injury is growth plate.Growth plate is present near the ends on bone and it is the weakest part of bone and more susceptible to injury. Injuries involving the growth plate sometimes will hamper growth of bone resulting in deformities.
2. Obesity: In the modern era, more than half of the urban population of children are having high BMI. Body mass index is calculated by using wight and height. It is indirect measurement of fat content of body. More obese kids are associated with endocrine disorders and early fatigue.
3: Coaching: Improper training by coaches or self decided coaching plan or poorly trained coaches are the major cause of injury in contact sports. One should check the reliability of the coach and also needs to be evaluated separately.
4: Overtaining: Indians have tendency of doing the things in short time with overwork. but it does not work every time. Children produces more heat and sweet less and hence fatigued earlier. This sometimes precipitated by reduced oral intake. This leads to make child more prone for injury.
Steps to Prevent the Sports Injury in Children.
Prior to selecting any sport for the kid, it is very important to evaluate the fitness of the child for that sport. For example, short stature kid may not be fit for basket ball. The components of fitness like flexibility, reflexes, muscle volume, muscle strength can be measured .
During the growth spurts, the bone grow at a faster rate than the muscles and ligaments. That results is reduced flexibility of joint and the loads will be directly transferred to the weak bone.
Children should have strength training and cross training.
Simple Steps to follow after Sports Injury.
The most common sports injuries are fractures , sprains , strains and soft tissue contusion. Most of the sports injury can be traced with simple remedy .
R- Rest to the affected Part and rest for the athlet.
I- Immobilisation of the affected area with bandage or splint.
C- Cold Sponging with Ice packs for 15 min.
E- Elevation of the affected area above heart level in sleeping position.
Even after following the above treatment , if child does not improve, you need to consult the physician. | 633 |
The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid are beginning to penalize hospitals who have patients readmitted in a certain time period (Readmission Reduction Program). Your Supervisor has come to you as to a manager of Quality Improvement and asked you how your hospital can better understand your readmission rates. Write a descriptive analysis plan outline based on PDCA process description that can offer insight in the organization readmission rates matter. Another example (exploratory) is P.E.R.I.E. approach used in the Public Health industry.Think about the factors that are important for the Provider, the patient and the payor (Medicare in this case). Make sure to list the epidemiological measures used in the process and identify the stage of Total Quality Improvement process that is utilizing Epidemiological studies and surveillance directly.

I got a tub of Acute FX last week and have to say that I'm blown away by this product. No, I won't say it's the proverbial "King of Pre-Workouts" but for under $20, you'll be hard pressed to find a better value.
Energy is stellar. The pumps aren't shabby either. I love leaving the gym with my forearms looking like roadmaps and having the nice thick shoulder vein popping. As far as focused, it's on par with most other pre-workouts. Nothing more, nothing less. The past few workouts I've seen to be able to crank out a few additional reps, but this can be attributed to a number of things. Warning, however, you will leave the gym drenched in sweat with Acute FX. The last thing I wanted to touch on was how neat it is that the capsules have flavored powder inside of them. The taste of the powder is awesome. I even uncapped three caps before work today to sip on throughout my shift.
Good job, Athletix. I highly recommend this supplement.

Did you guys start putting moisture packets into the Acute FX tubs? Mine did not have one and when I used it a little whiles back, I found the powder in the caps were clumping. Still worked though, just the clumps no longer wanted to mix and dissolve.

I like the option to use Acute FX as caps or as a drink, but the execution isn't flawless. I'm usually in a huge rush before my workouts because I train before work and every second counts. The powder has a tendency to spill when I pull it open and some usually gets stuck inside the cap, no matter how much I shake or pinch it. It's probably not a bother to most people, but when I'm in a hurry I get easily frustrated by any slight delay. Also, some of the caps have odd, brownish chunks in them. It's probably fine, but it makes me wonder if each cap has different amounts of active ingredients in them, which might cause inconsistent results. It's worth being concerned about if you're sensitive to yohimbe. A little is fine, but too much can be torture.
It does give me energy and pumps, though. My preferred way to use it is in cap form. I take them with about 3/4 of a fast-hitting pre-workout powder which helps me start my workout quickly, while the Acute FX caps digest in my belly and kick in a little later into my workout, when I'd usually start to crash.
My favorite thing about Acute FX is that you can keep a few caps in your pocket when you're at work or wherever, in case of an energy emergency. Can't really pull out a plastic baggie of powder without people asking questions :-D

I've been trying to do more bike packing recently.
It's a marvelous way to disconnect and explore the backroads and haunts of the area around Sioux Falls. And you generally don't have to go that far to find great experiences.
This weekend (July 14-15) we returned to Blue Mounds State Park in Luverne, Minn.
The crew from Spoke-n-Sport is taking the Blue Mounds journey this coming weekend (July 21-22) but schedules prevented us from making that one. If you're interested get in touch.
It's a nice campground and all, but the real treat is hanging out in Luverne. Here's the deal, I don't mind camping but I also like a nice meal and a bottle of wine. You can get that in Luverne.
We returned to Sterling's Cafe & Grille, which is a solid experience by any measure. Great food with a nice variety in the menu. It's lovely inside, but since we're camping and all, we took a sidewalk table.
If you want to take a drive and have a nice dinner, that's OK too. I won't hold it against you, but we biked into town.
Coming into Luverne, before we hit the state park, we had to stop at Take 16 Brewing. They've opened a comfortable and friendly tap room with a patio and all that.
Great beer and great staff make a must stop.
Out at the campground, things were fine. I'm not going to lie to you, the mosquitoes were brutal, but we managed with a combination of repellent and spending more time in town eating and drinking. So everything was fine.
Which is all to say that bike packing is relaxing way to find new places, see new things and meet new people. | 379 |

Poet Emily Dickinson was born in Amherst, Massachusetts at “The Homestead,” in the mid-1800s.
During her lifetime she was known to be a quiet, unassuming woman. Her life revolved around schooling, reading, and religious activities, all of which deeply influenced her writing. Though she produced more than 1800 poems in her lifetime, very few were published during her lifetime. After her death, her poems and life story were presented to the world through the efforts of family members and close friends.
The Emily Dickinson Museum in Amherst was created in 2003 when two houses that were central to the life of the Dickinson family, were merged under the ownership of Amherst College. The mission of the Museum is to educate audiences about Dickenson’s life, family, creative work, and her relevance in American literary history.
The Museum has worked to establish itself as a historical resource center for scholars and to strengthen Dickinson’s contributions as a writer. Over the last thirteen years the Museum has established national professional development workshops for teachers, worked to establish poetry contests and marathons for school-aged children in local and national arenas, and created hands-on programs to encourage the love of poetry.
The Museum offers tours and outreach programs for local schools. Typically a visit to the facility lasts an hour and offers interactive discussion opportunities. K-12 classes are offered the opportunity to read poems aloud at the end of tours and to reflect on the experience that they have during the visit. College- level and group tours are designed with specific structure and goals in mind. There are several options available including:
1. “Emily Dickinson’s World.” This tour includes a snapshot into the daily life of the poet and includes access to her bedroom, as well as other key rooms in the family home.
2. “This Was a Poet.” A 45-minute guided tour of the Homestead that is ideal for guests who may be unfamiliar with the poet and are seeking to learn more.
3. “Grounds of Memory.” An audio tour of the outdoor Dickinson grounds. Approximately 60 minutes in length, this tour is self-guided. Guests who opt for this tour are provided with a map of the ground and can access an audio component with their own cell phone, or by obtaining an audio wand at the Tour Center.
Further information about the Museum and tours can be found at emilydickinsonmuseum.org or by calling 413-542-8161. | 521 |
S2000 grinding with clutch all the way down
So I'll preface with the fact the I've only had my S2K for about 2 months. It's a 2005 with roughly 135k miles. It's also my first manual transmission car but I've always felt comfortable driving manual cars.
Today I had to run some errands after work and was driving around. I was slowly approaching a red light and downshifted from 4th to 3rd, clutch all the way down, and I was met with some resistance and then some grinding, as if I didn't have the clutch all the way down. I backed off downshifting, made sure the pedal was down all the way and tried again. It went in but still didn't feel right. I also seemed to have developed a new droning noise while coasting when this happened. I checked the clutch master cylinder when I got home and the fluid looks somewhat cloudy/dark-ish. The previous owner said the clutch was somewhat recently replaced as well.
Also while at the light today, I noticed that if I kept my clutch pedal fully depressed, I could move from gear to gear smoothly. However, if I let the clutch pedal back up (in neutral) then depressed it again, and when into first, there is a loud "thunk" which I've kind of just grown to accept when going into first.
Any suggestions or possibly on what could be wrong? I was considering maybe adjusting some of the clutch pedal freeplay.
Edit: decided to check my CMC and I noticed a tiny tiny bit of fluid in the interior, and some fairly dark looking fluid. https://m.imgur.com/a/HLJKeUy
Edit2: So I peaked under the car today and noticed that the boot that goes over the slave cylinder is missing...I'm honestly not sure what work I should have done now. I've been driving around this winter so I imagine a bit of salt has gotten in. I avoided driving in snow but I'm sure a tiny bit has probably splashed in there from the melt. https://imgur.com/gXKX6uV.jpg https://imgur.com/5MZDMtd.jpg | 464 |
World Kindness Day, observed every year on November 13th, is a day to highlight good deeds in the community, focusing on the positive power and the common thread of kindness that binds us. Started in 1998, World Kindness Day was introduced by the World Kindness Movement, and almost 20 years later it is celebrated around the world. The mission of the World Kindness Movement is to inspire individuals and nations to create a kinder world through establishing independent kindness programs and projects in cities, schools, and communities across the globe.
At Words Alive, our mission is to open opportunities for life success by inspiring a commitment to reading. Through our programs, we are helping students and families fall in love with reading and helping them understand the numerous benefits of literacy. One of the benefits of reading is increased empathy. In 2006, Keith Oatley, a cognitive psychologist at the University of Toronto, conducted a study that linked reading fiction to better performance on empathy and social acumen tests. He has said: "When we read about other people, we can imagine ourselves into their position and we can imagine what it's like being that person. That enables us to better understand people, better cooperate with them."
So today, on World Kindness Day, pick up a book and think about how that story makes you a kinder person or introduced kindness into the world! What does kindness mean to you?
Below, you can watch a video of Gabriella van Rij, author and Secretary General of the World Kindness Movement, read an excerpt of her book for us! Learn more about the work that Gabriella does at https://www.gabriella.global/ | 339 |
Design does not remain a static concept, but is typically concerned with improving our quality of life through the creation of objects of beauty, functional products or products that are both functional and have style or an aesthetic.
Design Distinctiveness in Art & Design
- Each aspect of art, craft and design can be taught in an individual context or as a blend of these aspects.
- Art and design projects, units or schemes of work will not always include design as an integral part. Design is positioned where and when appropriate as part of a creative, functional or applied process.
- Typically in art and design, pupils engage in creative activities intended for display in a gallery or as an installation. Through design, pupils may also focus on client led activities commissioned through a brief.
- The activities concerned with the creation of new design outcomes are sometimes considered as the product of a sequence of actions or process stages. The creative design process in art and design is less likely to comprise a linear set of stages, but often follows a more organic or itterative process that moves fluidly through design process activities, in an order that best meets the creative need of the designer.
- Design is therefore a way of thinking, as well as a behaviour or an approach to creating new ideas, new products or creative outcomes. How we define the scope of creative design activity is therefore open to interpretation or definition in relation to purpose. For example, the model illustrated below, shows Design Professor Richard Buchanan’s ‘four orders of design’, spanning from the tangible to the intangible. Although this model operates within problem solving contexts, it also spans the creation of products, experiences and transformations. In the art & design curriculum, we operate fluidly across the first three ‘orders’ of design, at multiple levels and in different ways: we create and use symbols, design creative products and explore interactions, although not always within a purely functional definition. In Art and Design, we rarely seek to design systems in the conventional sense, although constructed works, multi-media products and installations are all forms of a system.

A hammer driving a nail and the human forearm when it is used to lift an object are examples of third-class levers. | 148 |
In a current examine revealed within the Environmental Science & Technology Journal, researchers quantified the benzene emission components based mostly on combustion utilizing propane and gasoline stoves and benzene emissions from different kinds of stoves corresponding to induction, radiant, and electrical coil stoves.

Home equipment corresponding to water heaters, stoves, and furnaces that use pure gasoline are identified to emit carbon dioxide throughout combustion and methane throughout incomplete combustion or leaks.
Different poisonous chemical substances gasoline stoves emit embody carbon monoxide, formaldehyde, and nitrogen dioxide, generally known as respiratory irritants or carcinogens. Research have reported that the emission of nitrogen dioxide indoors from gasoline stoves has been linked to an elevated threat of pediatric and grownup bronchial asthma.
Whereas the emission ranges of nitrogen dioxide, formaldehyde, and carbon monoxide have been well-studied, different hazardous chemical substances corresponding to benzene, are fashioned by way of incomplete combustion and are identified to be dangerous to human well being.
Quick-term publicity to benzene is thought to impair the manufacturing of blood cells, whereas extended publicity has been linked to cancers corresponding to lymphomas and leukemias. Subsequently, it’s important to systematically quantify and perceive the emission of benzene from indoor fossil-fuel-based home equipment.
In regards to the examine
Within the current examine, the researchers quantified the benzene emissions for gasoline, propane, induction, radiant, and electrical coil stoves and ovens. Moreover, to account for the emissions from meals corresponding to oils and fat, the researchers cooked two kinds of meals on induction ovens, which don’t emit benzene.
Furthermore, to make sure that the measured benzene emissions have been solely these emitted from the gas and never from the meals being cooked, they boiled water in the identical pot in all cases.
Within the case of gasoline, electrical, or propane ovens, they measured the emissions utilizing empty ovens. Benzene emissions have been measured inside closed areas created by shutting the kitchen home windows and doorways and generally sealing the kitchen.
The emissions have been measured throughout 14 counties within the states of Colorado and California, in america, for a complete of 87 stoves, and the areas included flats, non-public properties, and Airbnb leases, with members chosen by way of a web based sign-up web page and group and neighborhood associations.
The benzene emissions have been decided based mostly on elevated benzene concentrations within the kitchens over time.
An analyzer known as AROMA-VOC (unstable natural compounds) that measures benzene concentrations based mostly on the infrared spectroscopic absorbance signature was used to quantify benzene focus at totally different occasions all through the experiment.
Moreover, to find out the benzene emissions originating from the cooking of sure meals, the researchers measured the benzene emissions from cooking bacon and pan-fired fish on two separate induction cooktops. Every meal was cooked for 3 replicates till properly performed.
The outcomes reported that the combustion of propane and pure gasoline in stoves throughout the 14 counties in Colorado and California resulted in repeated and detectable ranges of benzene emissions, with benzene concentrations in some households properly surpassing the established thresholds or benchmarks for human well being.
Moreover, in comparison with radiant and electrical coil stoves, the imply benzene emissions of propane and pure gasoline burners turned to excessive, or of ovens set that 350 °F was near 25 occasions greater.
Neither the induction range nor the bacon and pan-fried fish meals cooked on induction stoves emitted detectable ranges of benzene.
Nonetheless, the benzene emitted from propane and pure gasoline stoves additionally dissipated all through the residence and elevated the benzene ranges past the well being benchmarks, even in bedrooms.
Moreover, this dissipation of benzene all through the home continued to happen for hours after the range’s utilization had stopped for the day.
The findings indicated that the benzene emissions indoors from the propane and pure gasoline stoves and ovens are at concentrations that may improve or exacerbate well being situations.
Moreover, relying on the air flow methods and the scale of the home, the benzene emitted from these propane and gasoline stoves and ovens can unfold to the remainder of the home, which was demonstrated by the rise in benzene concentrations within the bedrooms past the continual publicity thresholds and properly after the utilization of the equipment had stopped.
General, the findings reported that the benzene emitted by stoves and ovens run on pure gasoline or propane usually exceeded the continual publicity thresholds and endangered human well being.
Moreover, the emissions continued even after the home equipment have been shut down, and the emitted benzene was discovered to have migrated to different rooms of the home, relying on the air flow situations within the constructing.
The outcomes spotlight the function of gasoline and propane stoves in decreasing indoor air high quality.

Things are getting ugly after a woman was found dead near a Roma camp in Italy, and the government kicked into high gear to start deporting people.
Three Romanians were in hospitals in Rome yesterday – one of them seriously injured – after being attacked by a masked, club-wielding gang on Friday night in the latest escalation of racial tension in Italy following the beating to death of a naval captain’s wife..
Hmmm, so the government starts indiscriminately taking out their prejudices on immigrants without proving any sort of guilt (there are no trials to determine who’s a “threat”) and now violent bands of thugs are following suit. Monkey see, monkey do, no?

What is Speech Therapy?
What is Speech Therapy?
Speech-language pathology is a field of expertise practiced by a clinician known as a speech-language pathologist (SLP), also sometimes referred to as a speech and language therapist or a speech therapist. SLP is considered a "related health profession" along with audiology, optometry, occupational therapy, clinical psychology, physical therapy, and others. The field of SLP is distinguished from other "related health professions", as SLPs are legally permitted to diagnose certain disorders which fall within their scope of practice. SLPs specialize in the evaluation, diagnosis, and treatment of communication disorders (speech disorders and language disorders), cognitive-communication disorders, voice disorders, and swallowing disorders, and play an important role in the diagnosis and treatment of autism spectrum disorder (often in a team with pediatricians and psychologists).
A common misconception is that speech-language pathology is restricted to adjusting a speaker's speech sound articulation to meet the expected normal pronunciation, such as helping English speaking individuals enunciate the traditionally difficult "r". SLPs can also often help people who stutter to speak more fluently. Articulation and fluency are only two facets of the work of an SLP, however. In fact, speech-language pathology is concerned with a broad scope of speech, language, swallowing, and voice issues involved in communication, some of which include:
Word-finding and other semantic issues, either as a result of a specific language impairment (SLI) such as a language delay or as a secondary characteristic of a more general issue such as dementia.
Social communication difficulties involving how people communicate or interact with others (pragmatics).
Structural language impairments, including difficulties creating sentences that are grammatical (syntax) and modifying word meaning (morphology).
Literacy impairments (reading and writing) related to the letter-to-sound relationship (phonics), the word-to-meaning relationship (semantics), and understanding the ideas presented in a text (reading comprehension).
Voice difficulties, such as a raspy voice, a voice that is too soft, or other voice difficulties that negatively impact a person's social or professional performance.
Cognitive impairments (e.g., attention, memory, executive function) to the extent that they interfere with communication.
The components of speech production include:
phonation (producing sound);
Voice (including aeromechanical components of respiration)
The components of language include:
Phonology (manipulating sound according to the rules of a language);
Morphology (understanding components of words and how they can modify meaning);
Syntax (constructing sentences according to the grammatical rules of a target language);
Semantics (interpreting signs or symbols of communication such as words or signs to construct meaning);
Pragmatics (social aspects of communication).
Primary pediatric speech and language disorders include receptive and expressive language disorders, speech sound disorders, childhood apraxia of speech, stuttering, and language-based learning disabilities.
Swallowing disorders include difficulties in any system of the swallowing process (i.e. oral, pharyngeal, esophageal), as well as functional dysphagia and feeding disorders. Swallowing disorders can occur at any age and can stem from multiple causes.
