The Insulin-Linked Polymorphic Region (ILPR) is a regulatory sequence in the promoter region upstream of the human insulin gene and is widely recognized as a locus of type 1 diabetes susceptibility. of cells cultured from human fetal thymus and its MK-8776 cost association with the ILPR in the chromatin of these cells. In vitro experiments support the involvement of G-quadruplex DNA in the binding conversation. The Insulin-Linked Polymorphic Region (ILPR) is usually a minisatellite in the promoter region of the insulin gene (INS) [1,2]. It is part of the IDDM2 locus of genetic susceptibility to type 1 diabetes (also known as insulin dependent diabetes mellitus, or IDDM) and its role in the genetics of type 1 diabetes has been the subject of many research [3-15]. The ILPR provides been proven to influence appearance of both INS as well as the close by insulin-like growth aspect MK-8776 cost 2 (IGF-2) genes [16-18]. Allelic variants in the ILPR that are connected with risky for type 1 diabetes may also be associated with reduced expression from the insulin gene in the thymus during early advancement [12,14,16,19-22]. Thymic appearance of pancreatic islet beta-cell substances including insulin is crucial for advancement of self-tolerance; if appearance is compromised, the physical body will make T-lymphocytes which Rabbit polyclonal to IPO13 will strike pancreatic beta cells, resulting in type 1 diabetes. The ILPR is available just in primates and it is polymorphic in human beings [1 extremely,2,4,18,23,24]. Polymorphism comes up both from variability in the amount of tandem repeats and variability in the regularity and distribution of the various variants from the do it again series that are 14-15 bases long. It’s been recommended the fact that ILPR may exert control over insulin and IGF-2 appearance within a nuclear matrix connection area that modulates availability of transcription elements to the matching genes [16,17]. Within this structure, duration polymorphism would have a tendency to affect the power of the ILPR to attach to the nuclear matrix while sequence polymorphism would tend to affect the ability of the ILPR to bind to regulatory proteins in the nuclear matrix. Oligonucleotides made up of two or more repeats of some variants including the most prevalent variant a (5-ACAG4TGTG4-3) have been shown to form intramolecular G-quadruplex structures and it has been suggested that G-quadruplex formation may occur in the ILPR and may be involved in its regulatory functions [25-32]. For example, transcription factor Pur-1 binds to ILPR tandem repeats that form G-quadruplex structures and insulin gene transcription rates are significantly lowered by mutations in the ILPR that destabilize the G-quadruplex structures . Previous work has MK-8776 cost established that insulin and IGF-2 bind with high affinity to oligonucleotides comprising two-repeat sequences of ILPR variant a (ILPRa) or of ILPR variant h (ILPRh), but not of ILPR variant i (ILPRi) [33-35]. The CD spectra of ILPRa and ILPRh exhibit peaks at both 260 nm and MK-8776 cost 295 nm while the spectrum of ILPRi exhibits only the peak at 260 nm . While CD spectra do not unambiguously reveal specific G-quadruplex structures , these results indicate that ILPRi lacks the conformation available to ILPRa and ILPRh that results in a peak around 295 nm and is consistent with certain intramolecular G-quadruplexes such as antiparallel or propeller structures . This suggests that G-quadruplex structures of ILPRa and ILPRh get excited about their binding connections with IGF-2 and insulin and boosts the chance that these protein may connect to transient G-quadruplex buildings in the ILPR and affect legislation from the insulin and/or IGF-2 genes. Today’s work targets establishing the current presence of IGF-2 in the nuclei of cultured individual fetal thymus cells (HFTCs) and identifying if IGF-2 is certainly from the ILPR in chromatin purified from these cells. Participation of G-quadruplex buildings in the association was looked into using an affinity catch and recognition technique where nuclear remove (NE) through the HFTCs was incubated with ILPR oligonucleotides which were covalently immobilized on fused silica probe areas as previously referred to [37,38]. Captured protein were analyzed on the probe surface area using Matrix-Assisted Laser beam Desorption Ionization-Mass Spectrometry (MALDI-MS). Experimental Techniques Cell lifestyle A cell range derived from individual fetal thymus tissues was extracted from American Type Lifestyle Collection (ATCC, Manassas, VA) (Kitty. No. CRL-10936). The individual fetal thymus cells (HFTCs) had been harvested in Iscoves Modified Dulbeccos Moderate (ATCC) with 10% fetal bovine serum (HyClone, Logan, UT), 5% individual male Stomach serum (Fisher Scientific, Pittsburgh, PA), and 100 products/mL Penicillin-Streptomycin (HyClone) at 37 C and 5% CO2. Entire cell lysate MK-8776 cost and subcellular fractionation Entire cell lysate (WCL) was made by cleaning confluent plates of HFTCs two times with ice chilly phosphate buffered saline (PBS, pH 7.4) and then scraping the cells with a plastic cell scraper into 500 L (per plate) ice. | <urn:uuid:29a0ffa3-871b-4291-ab9a-609a08969922> | CC-MAIN-2021-39 | http://aksumuniversity.org/the-insulin-linked-polymorphic-region-ilpr-is-a-regulatory-sequence-in-the/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-39/segments/1631780053493.41/warc/CC-MAIN-20210916094919-20210916124919-00000.warc.gz | en | 0.92642 | 1,220 | 2.21875 | 2 |

Adults have wingspans ranging from 7 to 36 mm. In most species the head scales are very rough. The labial palps "almost always have stout hairs projecting from the 2nd segment" (Covell, 2005).

The finding by the EU Commission that Apple should return €13 billion (plus interest) in unpaid taxes because they constitute illegal state aid has raised a number of interesting and important issues that go beyond the specific case (see here and here for earlier commentary). One of these is that the Irish government is in a pickle. But worry not: there is a simple solution.
Apple is being obliged to pay back taxes. It is logical that it is unhappy about this and will appeal. On the other hand, it is important to realise that the Commission has not said that the Irish government is entitled to claim unpaid taxes from a major corporation, but that it is obliged to do so. On the face of it, even leaving aside interest, the €13 bn would be a very nice fiscal windfall (roughly equal to annual health spending) for a country whose public finances were battered by the financial crisis. Yet Ireland will also appeal the ruling. Not doing so would, clearly, imply an admission of guilt: the tax deals reached by previous governments with Apple – and by implication with other global corporations – would be brandmarked and the country would suffer a serious reputational loss. | <urn:uuid:906cd680-a62d-4a9e-9ccd-65c8d530518c> | CC-MAIN-2021-39 | http://andrewwatt.eu/tag/tax-competition/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-39/segments/1631780053493.41/warc/CC-MAIN-20210916094919-20210916124919-00000.warc.gz | en | 0.974346 | 238 | 1.921875 | 2 |

Students in the UCLA/Getty Conservation Program recently dug up ancient wall paintings buried on the grounds of the Getty Villa. Not real ones, of course—it was all part of a classroom exercise for us conservators-in-training to better understand how conservation and archaeology work hand in hand.
One of the key aspects of conservation is its interdisciplinary nature. Conservators are often called on to work closely with scientists, engineers, architects, art historians, anthropologists, and especially archaeologists. Familiarity with archaeological field methods and techniques is essential to ensuring that excavations run smoothly, and that everyone is able to work together to achieve their research and preservation goals.
Recently, there has been a movement to encourage cooperative working practices and communication amongst archaeologists and conservators, as demonstrated by talks at the annual conference of the American Institute for Conservation of Historic and Artistic Works (AIC) held in Albuquerque this May.
That’s why the first-year students in the UCLA/Getty program participated in this excavation, held as part of Dr. Ioanna Kakoulli’s class studying the techniques and materials of archaeological and cultural materials, including both in situ and ex situ architectural surfaces (i.e., surfaces still in their natural environments, and those moved to museums or storage).
Dr. Kakoulli and Vanessa Muros, conservation specialist and laboratory supervisor for the UCLA/Getty program, buried three wall-painting replicas completed by previous students in “burial” contexts behind the Villa’s Ranch House. This was done two weeks before our excavation to give the paintings time to settle into their environment and to simulate some of the condition issues that might be confronted during a real excavation.
While many of us students have experience working at field excavations, this “dig” allowed us to better understand how and where conservation experience is necessary in the field, as well as how to interfere as little as possible with the archaeological context.
We were incredibly lucky to have the expertise and guidance of Dr. Sarah Lepinski, a Postdoctoral fellow studying painting practices in Rome and late antique Corinth at the Getty Villa, with the assistance of Postdoctoral fellow Dr. Emma Libonati, who studies Egyptian and Hellenistic statuary, and Brett Kauffman, a doctoral candidate at UCLA’s Cotsen Institute of Archaeology, who is researching Near Eastern metallurgical technology through archaeology.
Sarah led us through basic archaeological methods, explaining their importance, then she, Emma, and Brett guided us in applying them to our own excavations, which were carried out in three teams. They reinforced that excavation is a sequential process, and that steps must be carried out and recorded in the correct order in order to reconstruct the original sequence of events.
In both conservation and archaeology, documentation is crucial. Sketches, and more recently digital photography, are often used to map out the boundaries of an area to be excavated, known as the unit. We also document the context, which includes the surrounding matrix (the physical setting, such as soil or sand) and the relative location of artifacts or features. These sketches accompany incredibly detailed notes for each unit, so that when the field notes are later processed, there is enough information to reconstruct the context and changes in stratigraphy (sequential layers of soil that represent successive periods of use).
The surrounding environment, including the vegetation, hydrology, and geology, are also considered when investigating a site. For a conservator, the context is useful for determining the possible physical and chemical changes the object has undergone in its particular environment since it was buried. For example, a moist or wet matrix promotes the movement and deposition of salts in porous building materials, such as a wall painting support, which can cause damage to both the painting surface and support structure. For this reason, good field notes are crucial to both archaeologists and conservators!
The day of the exercise, we carefully removed layers of the matrix, referred to as strata, using trowels. As the topsoil is removed, a soil layer is defined by its own characteristic color, moisture, particle size, and inclusions. The sequence of changes in the strata can indicate differences in the time period that the site was occupied. Ordinarily, the depth of the layer, or its elevation, is carefully measured, but we didn’t measure depths to save time since we only had an afternoon to complete the excavation.
The measurements archaeologists take while excavating are important for determining the process by which the buried items might have been deposited. For example, if a wall painting was left as a whole in one location and elevation, on a wall even, it may be a primary deposit, meaning it was simply left by its associated culture where it was used. If there are broken pieces of the painting spread over a large space, it is possible that it is a secondary deposit, and its placement results from processes that took place long after its original deposition, such as would occur at a construction site. If archaeologists can determine its original location, this can provide many clues to the painting’s provenance. Knowing the culture that it originated from gives conservators insights into the techniques and materials used in its creation, and in turn may complement analysis used for creating a conservation treatment plan.
We used brushes to clear some of the dirt off the surface, while excavating around the edges of the fragmented painting. One of the issues we confronted was the presence of moisture-sensitive paint layers; because the soil was moist in this particular location, great care had to be taken not to brush the paint off the surface with the moist dirt. Ultimately, all three teams decided that the paintings would have benefited most from removal by block lifting. In this technique, the artifact to be removed is left in situ, or in place, within a block of soil. Each of our blocks was lifted as a whole so that the paintings could be excavated more safely. We then moved to the lab, where we continued removing soil, studied the condition of the mural fragments, and learned how to best arrest deterioration processes resulting from burial and exposure to a new environment post-excavation.
Thank you to Drs. Lepinski, Libonati, and Kakoulli, Vanessa, and Brett for designing and implementing a wonderful experience for conservation students! We all have a better understanding of conservation in field excavations, and feel more prepared to use these skills when called upon. | <urn:uuid:94a6e02b-0731-476c-852e-ad1535c1f01c> | CC-MAIN-2021-39 | http://blogs.getty.edu/iris/backyard-archaeology-at-the-villa-ranch-house/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-39/segments/1631780053493.41/warc/CC-MAIN-20210916094919-20210916124919-00000.warc.gz | en | 0.964921 | 1,321 | 2.734375 | 3 |

A marketing consultant is a marketing professional with expertise in strategies to engage customers and improve business opportunities, both through retaining existing clients and attracting new patrons. Through a well-developed and targeted campaign, a successful marketing strategy and plan will help companies achieve defined and measurable goals. These are determined through careful and thorough analysis of the current situation and status of the company, considering its position in the industry or service and evaluating successes, challenges and available resources.
The work of a skilled marketing consultant is a careful blend of leadership and advisory roles, with the ability to be both extremely analytical and creative simultaneously. A marketing consultant has the challenge of quickly and accurately assessing the unique internal and external elements affecting the business, ranging from customer satisfaction and need to competitors, market trends, technological innovations and environmental factors. While determining short- and long-term strategies to reach marketing objectives, the marketing consultant has to ensure that targets are met and the company’s mission statement doesn’t become lost in the process.
Executing the marketing strategy is a delicate operation and requires someone who is able to monitor progress and adapt the plan and innovate as necessary. Again, almost paradoxically, a marketing consultant is a hybrid of the most organized, details-oriented planner who can also navigate off the map so to speak, initiating changes based on expert intuition and research-informed decisions. It’s like employing a scientific researcher who knows when to trust his gut feelings.
Hiring a marketing consultant gives businesses access to an incredible brain-trust and skillset for far less cost than it would be to retain a marketing professional on staff. Contracting with a marketing consultant to work on select projects either independently or in collaboration with in-house employees works very well for small and large companies.
WHAT TO LOOK FOR IN A MARKETING CONSULTANT
Marketing consultants should be extremely good with people and able to demonstrate a depth of knowledge about consumer behaviours, communications and marketing processes. They are typically expert interviewers who can astutely analyze not only how a company is positioned within its niche but also what will drive consumers to purchase the products or services. A good marketing consultant will have ideas about how to expand business while staying on budget and work well with existing management and staff.
The best marketing consultants in the business are highly skilled in communications, psychology and business. They are innovators and creative personalities who are not intimidated by new technologies and trying different approaches to achieve the desired goals. It goes without saying that successful marketing consultants are self-starters who drive the process to achieve measurable results. By definition the marketing consultant should offer expertise in marketing strategy and process.
It is not unusual for marketing consultants to specialize in certain areas or industries such as travel, real estate, entertainment, etc. Here are some common types of marketing consultants:
- Small business advisors – Working with family or privately owned small businesses like spas or restaurants, these marketing consultants will help plan how to increase sales on limited budgets. They will look for opportunities to work with existing resources to build the business and retain customer loyalty.
- Online marketing consultants – These marketing professionals are focused on using the internet to market a business online. Often they specialize in pay per click (PPC) advertising or search engine optimization (SEO) to drive customers to their client sites. Clients range from small businesses to large corporations.
- Corporate branding consultants – When companies want to define a professional look, or brand, and mission, a branding consultant is the person required for the job. This marketing consultant is experienced in ensuring a company has a defined presence in the market that identifies it as unique, from its logo and printed materials to letterhead, website and signage.
- Social media consultants – This new frontier for marketing consultants helps with setting up and managing social media – everything from Facebook and Twitter to HootSuite and Pinterest. They will assist in the design of pages and registering of domain names for websites to writing blogs, Facebook posts and Tweets that drive traffic to websites. Again, these consultants are hired by everyone from mothers starting small businesses to Fortune 500 corporations.
- Client acquisition consultants – If businesses rely on new clients to generate revenues, they hire consultants who specialize in drawing new business. Commonly hired by startups, travel agencies, hotels & resorts, lawyers, finance professionals or real estate agencies, these marketing professionals know how to attract fresh leads.
When hiring a marketing consultant, decide what it is you need and then find someone who has experience and skills in that area and preferably for your niche industry or service. Ask to see the consultant’s portfolio and find out about how satisfied their most recent clients are with the work that was done.

He reduced the weight of the denarius from 96 per Roman pound to 105 per Roman pound (3.85 grams to 3.35 grams). The consensus was that it was below his office to participate as a gladiator. As he was physically strong, his chief interest was in sport: he took part in horse racing, chariot racing, and combats with beasts and men, mostly in private but also on occasion in public.

Among his teachers, Onesicrates, Antistius Capella, Titus Aius Sanctus, and Pitholaus are mentioned.. The latter eventually would be used as a conventional title by Roman emperors, starting about a century later, but Commodus seems to have been the first to assume it.. Such was the vehement dislike felt by the senate at having had to suffer the abuse and threats of the emperor over the 12 years, that they condemned the memory of Commodus; his images were destroyed and his names scratched from inscriptions around the empire. Cast the gladiator into the charnel-house. His name changed throughout his reign; see changes of name for earlier and later forms. Cleander made concerted efforts to concentrate power in his own hands, overseeing the sale of public offices and military commands to the highest bidder. On another occasion, Commodus killed three elephants on the floor of the arena by himself. Now at the zenith of his power, Cleander continued to sell public offices as his private business.

His body was buried in the Mausoleum of Hadrian. The emperor was famed for his beast hunts, including his rescue of a condemned criminal from the jaws of a leopard in one bout. Methuen, 1898. 180 A.D., the year Commodus came to power, is widely regarded as the turning point in Imperial history. Although the historian Cassius Dio records that Marcus remained disappointed in his attempts to educate his son, his attempts to ensure the smooth succession were at least successful. Updated October 06, 2019 Commodus (August 31, 161–December 31, 192 CE) was the emperor of Rome between 180–192 CE. On 1 January 177, Commodus became consul for the first time, which made him, aged 15, the youngest consul in Roman history up to that time. Upon his ascension, Commodus devalued the Roman currency. Nevertheless, troubles did emerge around the empire that required intervention, first in Dacia (modern Romania, the province captured by Trajan) and later in Britain. He thought they should all be named after him, too. Speidel, "Commodus the God-Emperor and the Army,", This page was last edited on 21 December 2020, at 11:12. Aurelius constantly gives his son lectures on duty and morality, he was as stern and powerful as Zeus. According to Herodian, spectators of Commodus thought it unbecoming of an emperor to take up arms in the amphitheater for sport when he could be campaigning against barbarians among other opponents of Rome. The Emperor Commodus Leaving the Arena at the Head of the Gladiators (detail) by Edwin Howland Blashfield (1848–1936), Hermitage Museum and Gardens, Norfolk, Virginia. Cassius Dio, the most reliable historian for the reign of Commodus, even attests that the emperor went so far as to be named a “god!” A fire that devastated the city in 191 was for Commodus, like Nero a century beforehand, an opportunity. In fact, everything should be renamed for Commodus. He subsequently married Bruttia Crispina before accompanying his father to the Danubian front once more in 178. Later that year he adopted as his full style Lucius Aelius Aurelius Commodus Augustus Herculeus Romanus Exsuperatorius Amazonius Invictus Felix Pius (the order of some of these titles varies in the sources). Commodus took the loss of Saoterus badly, and Perennis now seized the chance to advance himself by implicating Paternus in a second conspiracy, one apparently led by Publius Salvius Julianus, who was the son of the jurist Salvius Julianus and was betrothed to Paternus' daughter. Commodus was succeeded by Pertinax, whose reign was short lived, being the first to fall victim to the Year of the Five Emperors. Commodus was 31 years old and had ruled almost 13 years. Commodus (/ ˈkɒmədəs /; 31 August 161 – 31 December 192) was Roman emperor jointly with his father Marcus Aurelius from 176 until his father's death in 180, and solely until 192. Commodian Fortunate Senate. Commodus was born as a twin to his brother who died when he was just 4 years of age.

In 195, the emperor Septimius Severus, trying to gain favour with the family of Marcus Aurelius, rehabilitated Commodus' memory and had the Senate deify him. He also had four surviving sisters, all of them with husbands who were potential rivals. ), and Earnest Cary. His reduction of the denarius during his rule was the largest since the empire's first devaluation during Nero's reign. It seems likely that he was brought up in an atmosphere of Stoic asceticism, which he rejected entirely upon his accession to sole rule. It was an ignoble end for the son of perhaps the greatest emperor of all, and one not at all befitting either god or gladiator. These tendencies now increased to megalomaniacal proportions. – E. Mer-ten, Bäder und Badegepflogenheiten in der Darstel-lung der Historia Augusta (Antiquitas. It was presumably there that, on 15 October 172, he was given the victory title Germanicus, in the presence of the army. When Commodus was only 19 years of age, Marcus Aurelius (just shy of his 59th birthday) died in AD 180 and the control of the empire was left to the a young man with a great deal to prove. In October of that year, Commodus was bestowed with the title Germanicus alongside his father. However, he would eventually fall foul of popular discontent. To subdue any residual unrest, Marcus ensured that the question of succession had a definitive answer. His great simplicity, however, together with his cowardice, made him the slave of his companions, and it was through them that he at first, out of ignorance, missed the better life and then was led on into lustful and cruel habits, which soon became second nature.". The iconography of Commodus displays a consistent emphasis on presenting the emperor as Hercules. At the end of June, a mob demonstrated against Cleander during a horse race in the Circus Maximus: he sent the Praetorian Guard to put down the disturbances, but Pertinax, who was now City Prefect of Rome, dispatched the Vigiles Urbani to oppose them. Nevertheless, though the senatorial order came to hate and fear him, the evidence suggests that he remained popular with the army and the common people for much of his reign, not least because of his lavish shows of largesse (recorded on his coinage) and because he staged and took part in spectacular gladiatorial combats. Upon his ascension, Commodus devalued the Roman currency. He accompanied his father, Marcus, during the Marcomannic Wars in 172 and on a tour of the Eastern provinces in 176. Marcus Aurelius died there on 17 March 180, leaving the 18-year-old Commodus sole emperor. This heroic, mythological association connected Commodus to the Roman Pantheon (Hercules was the son of Jupiter, King of the gods) and fuelled his sense of self-importance. Although the empire passed relatively smoothly into the care of the elder statesman Pertinax, as emperor he lost the support of the Praetorians and was murdered within months of his accession. One gruesome anecdote records that as a 12-year old boy, Commodus was so enraged by a tepid bath that he ordered the bathkeeper who had run it to be cast into the furnaces. To help present his power as legitimate, Severus fabricated the story that he was the descendant of Marcus Aurelius and, therefore, the brother of Commodus. Commodus was succeeded by Pertinax, whose reign was short-lived; he would become the first claimant to be usurped during the Year of the Five Emperors. Cassius, however, was killed by one of his centurions before the campaign against him could begin.

Commodus became sole ruler in 180, guaranteed by the support of the soldiers on the frontier. His assassination in 192 marked the end of the Nerva–Antonine dynasty. Perhaps seeing this as an opportunity, early in 192 Commodus, declaring himself the new Romulus, ritually re-founded Rome, renaming the city Colonia Lucia Annia Commodiana. Far from celebrating his descent from Marcus Aurelius, the actual source of his power, he stressed his own personal uniqueness as the bringer of a new order, seeking to re-cast the empire in his own image. Because he had not chosen a successor, civil war broke out and in five months four emperors were to rule Rome. On 12 October 166, Commodus was made Caesar together with his younger brother, Marcus Annius Verus. Commodus was the first (and until 337, the only) emperor "born in the purple," meaning during his father's reign. He was left-handed and very proud of the fact. Not only was Faustina Marcus’ wife, but she was also his cousin, as well as the youngest daughter of Antoninus; the webs of the imperial dynasty were frequently complex.

Since Nerva, the Antonines had presided over unprecedented stability and prosperity. Some leading senators planned to cut down the emperor whilst he was attending the theatre. Having endured the loss of one son, Marcus Aurelius was keen to ensure that the route of imperial succession was clear. Heinz, W. (1986). These steps appear not to have been sufficient in themselves. In the spring of 190, Rome was afflicted by a food shortage, for which the praefectus annonae Papirius Dionysius, the official actually in charge of the grain supply, contrived to lay the blame on Cleander. Order was not restored until the arrival in Rome, and ultimate victory over his rivals, by Septimius Severus, Rome’s first African emperor. Having been accepted as Emperor by Syria, Judea and Egypt, Cassius carried on his rebellion even after it had become obvious that Marcus was still alive. One of the two praetorian prefects, Publius Tarrutenius Paternus, had actually been involved in the conspiracy but his involvement was not discovered until later on, and in the aftermath, he and his colleague, Sextus Tigidius Perennis, were able to arrange for the murder of Saoterus, the hated chamberlain. During these three short months Pompeianus, who had been the patron of Pertinax years before, took an active part in the counsels of state, and Privately, it was also his custom to kill his opponents during practice matches.

Commodus, in full Caesar Marcus Aurelius Commodus Antoninus Augustus, original name (until 180 ce) Lucius Aelius Aurelius Commodus, (born August 31, 161 ce, Lanuvium, Latium [now Lanuvio, Italy]—died December 31, 192), Roman emperor from 177 to 192 (sole emperor after 180). Cleander was in fact the person who had murdered Saoterus.

These campaigns in Dacia in AD183 allowed two future contenders for the imperial throne, Clodius Albinus and Pescennius Niger, to distinguish themselves (neither would be able to defeat Septimius Severus when the time came, however). All the months of the year were renamed to correspond exactly with his (now twelve) names: Lucius, Aelius, Aurelius, Commodus, Augustus, Herculeus, Romanus, Exsuperatorius, Amazonius, Invictus, Felix, and Pius. At the urging of his mistress Marcia, Commodus had Cleander beheaded and his son killed. It is a legacy that endures to this day. The political unrest began with the murder of Emperor Commodus on New Year's Eve 192 AD. From the province of Syria, where he was acting as Governor, Cassius declared himself emperor, and the provinces of Judea and Egypt declared their allegiance. The Emperor and his son then traveled to Athens, where they were initiated into the Eleusinian mysteries. Unrest around the empire increased, with large numbers of army deserters causing trouble in Gaul and Germany. The senatorial decree ordering it, as recorded by Dio, is particularly shocking: “Cast the gladiator into the charnel-house. made famous by Joaquin Phoenix in the 2000 film, rescue of a condemned criminal from the jaws of a leopard in one bout, Cassius Dio, the most reliable historian for the reign of Commodus, even attests that the emperor went so far as to be named a “god!”, as both consul, the leading magistrate, and gladiator, the conspirators had to send in Narcissus, a powerful young man at the court, to go into the bath where Commodus was reeling from the effects of the poison, and strangle him. Pertinax (/ ˈ p ɜːr t ɪ n æ k s /; Publius Helvius Pertinax; 1 August 126 – 28 March 193) was a Roman soldier and politician who ruled as Roman emperor for the first three months of 193. He is passionate about sharing his interest in the past with as many people as possible. [clarification needed] For each appearance in the arena, he charged the city of Rome a million sesterces, straining the Roman economy. The son of the paragon of imperial excellence had not only failed to match the standards set by his father but had veered so far away from them as to be vilified. Commodus, in his own time, was accused of being a megalomaniac. Pertinax thus became emperor on January 1st, but he was murdered by a group of soldiers the following March, after less than three months in power. Lucius Aurelius Commodus, born 161 A.D., was appointed co-emperor by his father Marcus Aurelius in 177 A.D. when he was just 16 years old. Early in 188, Cleander disposed of the current praetorian prefect, Atilius Aebutianus, and took over supreme command of the Praetorian Guard at the new rank of a pugione ("dagger-bearer"), with two praetorian prefects subordinate to him. He was the first emperor to be ‘born in the purple’, that is, during the reign of his father. Commodus became co-ruler with his father in 177, when he was only 15 years old. Dissatisfaction with this state of affairs would lead to a series of conspiracies and attempted coups, which in turn eventually provoked Commodus to take charge of affairs, which he did in an increasingly dictatorial manner. The story of Commodus then is the story of a man who fell from exalted heights. According to Cassius Dio, Commodus once killed 100 lions in a single day. After the reforms that resulted in a 12-month year, September became the ninth month, but retained its name. He recognized well the significance of his rise; this was the first time since the reign of Titus, the son of Vespasian, that the empire had passed to a biological son, and the first time ever that it had passed to a child raised specifically to be emperor. Whereas the reign of Marcus Aurelius had been marked by almost continuous warfare, Commodus' rule was comparatively peaceful in the military sense, but was also characterised by political strife and the increasingly arbitrary and capricious behaviour of the emperor himself. The attempts to restore stability would lead to a protracted series of civil wars lasting 4 years. Sure enough, the name Commodus once more begins to re-emerge in the titles of Severus. Unfortunately, no other son of Marcus besides Commodus lived past their youth. Born the son of a freed slave, Pertinax became an officer in the army. Away from Rome, the disturbances in the northern provinces of Britain and Gaul and prompted military desertion. One of the most captivating stories in Roman Mythology is the myth of Arachne. Disdaining the more philosophic inclinations of his father, Commodus was extremely proud of his physical prowess. This would not be the end of Commodus’ role in Roman history, however, and he had an important function left to fill. In 183 AD Commodus officially changed the name of the Roman Empire to the Commodian Empire and renamed all the months of the year in his honour:- January - Madtime; February - Barking; March - Fairies Commodus, in full Caesar Marcus Aurelius Commodus Antoninus Augustus, original name (until 180 ce) Lucius Aelius Aurelius Commodus, (born August 31, 161 ce, Lanuvium, Latium [now Lanuvio, Italy]—died December 31, 192), Roman emperor from 177 to 192 (sole emperor after 180) Commodus was Roman emperor from 180 to 192 CE.With the death of Roman Emperor Marcus … Commodus, however, crossed into the ridiculous. The latter died in 169 having failed to recover from an operation, which left Commodus as Marcus Aurelius's sole surviving son. Gibbon, Edward. Condianus and Maximus were executed on the pretext that, while they were not implicated in any plots, their wealth and talent would make them unhappy with the current state of affairs. Ulpius Marcellus was replaced as governor of Britain by Pertinax; brought to Rome and tried for treason, Marcellus narrowly escaped death. Cleander fled to Commodus, who was at Laurentum in the house of the Quinctilii, for protection, but the mob followed him calling for his head. He was the son of Marcus Aurelius and Faustina the Younger. Commodus’ name was bestowed upon him to honor Marcus Aurelius’ joint ruler and brother by adoption Lucius Verus. 5. The principal surviving literary sources are Herodian, Dio Cassius (a contemporary and sometimes first-hand observer, Senator during Commodus' reign, but his reports for this period survive only as fragments and abbreviations), and the Historia Augusta (untrustworthy for its character as a work of literature rather than history, with elements of fiction embedded within its biographies; in the case of Commodus, it may well be embroidering upon what the author found in reasonably good contemporary sources). Innumerable statues around the empire were set up portraying him in the guise of Hercules, reinforcing the image of him as a demigod, a physical giant, a protector, and a warrior who fought against men and beasts (see "Commodus and Hercules" and "Commodus the Gladiator" below). At this point, the prefect Laetus formed a conspiracy with Eclectus to supplant Commodus with Pertinax, taking Marcia into their confidence. Cleander proceeded to concentrate power in his own hands and to enrich himself by becoming responsible for all public offices: he sold and bestowed entry to the Senate, army commands, governorships and, increasingly, even the suffect consulships to the highest bidder. Historia Augusta. The life of the poor household attendant was only spared by the quick thinking of a fellow slave, who tossed a sheepskin onto the furnace instead. A reduction in conflict on the frontiers of the empire was not matched by peace within the empire. Sister of Trajan's father: Giacosa (1977), p. 7. When he was born, Commodus was actually the younger of twins. His mother Faustina was actually the youngest daughter of Antoninus, and though later histories slandered her as an adultress in truth she and Marcus Aurelius … Portrait bust of Commodus photographed by the author, in the Palazzo Massimo, Rome. Pompeianus retired from public life. Muller Edition 1.15.7, Echols, Edward C. "Herodian of Antioch's History of the Roman Empire." The succession of plots and intrigues against him, as well as the influences of questionable courtiers, led to increasingly erratic behavior from Commodus, as he slipped further and further into megalomania. Trump … Most infamous amongst these was the freedman Cleander, who rose to command the Praetorians, the imperial bodyguard. In an effort to foreshadow the depravities that would follow, some of the later sources, particularly the luridly entertaining, but historically questionable Historia Augusta, are keen to portray Commodus’ youth as the period when the first tendencies were evident. Like his father before him, Commodus enjoyed the benefits of an exemplary Roman aristocratic education, focusing on raising a child fit to rule the empire. The sources present some of the most vivid accounts of the emotions that came rushing out as part of these material assaults on memory, known today as damnatio memoriae. The history of the decline and fall of the Roman Empire. Commodus received extensive tutoring by a multitude of teachers with a focus on intellectual education. His role as the leader of the army, and as a triumphal Roman commander, was already being established. This happed to the cultured Quintilii brothers, whose palatial villa on the Via Appia to the southeast of Rome was seized by the emperor. The revolt continued, despite news of Marcus being very much alive although it quickly ran out of steam; before Marcus could even begin the campaign to quash the rebellion, Cassius was killed by an associate. – Historia Augusta Bd. The stench of the smoke convinced the future-emperor that the crime of a not-hot-enough bath had been suitably avenged…, Portrait bust of Marcus Aurelius, 161-80 AD, via The Walters Art Museum, Baltimore. Commodianae. “For our history now descends from one a kingdom of gold, to one of iron and rust.” With this particularly enduring metallurgical metaphor, the historian Cassius Dio set forth an understanding of Roman history that has proved particularly difficult to dislodge. Cassius Dio and the writers of the Augustan History say that Commodus was a skilled archer, who could shoot the heads off ostriches in full gallop, and kill a panther as it attacked a victim in the arena. Most infamous was Commodus’ proclivity for the gladiatorial arena. Perennis took over the reins of government and Commodus found a new chamberlain and favourite in Cleander, a Phrygian freedman who had married one of the emperor's mistresses, Demostratia. Commodus. Except where otherwise noted, the notes below indicate that an individual's parentage is as shown in the above family tree. Framing himself as a new Romulus and founder of the city, Commodus gave free-reign to his megalomaniac tendencies, renaming the city Colonia Lucia Annia Commodiana and even renaming the months of the year to correspond his own names (by this point, he had 12, including Commodus, Hercules, and Invictus). The birth of a royal son was a big deal at the time: Commodus was the first (and for a very long time, the only) Roman emperor “born in the purple,” meaning born during his dad’s reign. On 31 December, Marcia poisoned Commodus' food but he vomited up the poison, so the conspirators sent his wrestling partner Narcissus to strangle him in his bath. Lucilla was over ten years his senior and held the rank of Augusta as the widow of her first husband, Lucius Verus. Commodus also had a passion for gladiatorial combat, which he took so far as to take to the arena himself, dressed as a secutor. To honor his new-found family, the emperor ordered that the condemnation of Commodus’ memory be lifted. Dio Cassius 73.10.2, Loeb edition translated E. Cary, To “accept kinship with Commodus ... the bluntly pragmatic decision was taken to deify the former emperor, thus legitimizing Severus’ seizure of power.” See, Dio Cassius 73.1.2, Loeb edition translated E. Cary, Dio Cassius 73.5.3, Loeb edition translated E. Cary. The reason for this degeneration, the historian asserted, was the death of Marcus Aurelius, the paragon of imperial rule, and the passing of imperial power to his son, Commodus. While his father was a great emperor, Commodus soon proved to be one of the worst. Husband of Salonia Matidia: Levick (2014), p. 161. Having heard a rumor that Marcus had died on campaign (his poor health was notorious), Cassius was reputedly concerned about the stability of the empire. His tale wasn't believed and he was immediately put to death. The golden age of the empire was drawing to a close, and with cruel irony, it was being led there by a man so vain and sure of his own divinity, that he sprinkled gold dust in his hair to bedazzle all who looked at him. A conspiracy led by Laetus and Eclectus, who involved Marcia in their plotting, saw proposed to overthrow Commodus. In 187, one of the leaders of the deserters, Maternus, came from Gaul intending to assassinate Commodus at the Festival of the Great Goddess in March, but he was betrayed and executed.

How Chiropractic Can Help Keep You Moving On A Factory’s Assembly Line
Assembly lines have long been the standard for factory workers. Henry Ford got the ball rolling in December 1, 1913 when he created the very first assembly line to mass produce a car. Workers stood for hours, doing the same tasks over and over. Although Ford took steps to reduce at least some of the damage, many factory workers still went home with aching backs and feet, migraines, fallen arches, and repetitive motion injuries.
Now, more than a hundred year later, some things have changed. According to the United States Department of Labor Bureau of Labor Statistics, there were 1,834,000 assembly line and fabrication jobs in 2014. Technology is better and some tasks can be automated making some people’s jobs easier – and, unfortunately, eliminating some as well.
Despite the great strides in technology, there are still some things that haven’t changed all that much. The working conditions in many factories are often still not as healthy as they could be. Many workers are still required to stand for long periods of time and perform repetitive motions for hours without a break. This can lead to injuries, pain, and certain conditions that can cause immobility, inflexibility, and even disability. The good news is, chiropractic can help.
Working in a Standing Position Can Be Bad For Your Health
Many assembly line jobs require that the worker stand for long periods of time. While standing is a natural posture for humans and, by itself does not pose any real harm or health problem, working in a standing position every day isn’t good for you. It can lead to muscle fatigue, stiff shoulders and neck, swelling of the legs and feet, low back pain, varicose veins, fallen arches, and sore feet – just to name a few.
Another problem with standing for extended or frequent periods of time without any breaks (such a s walking or stretching) can cause the joints in the feet, knees, hips, and spine to become locked or immobilized temporarily. If the behavior continues, it can cause degenerative damage, leading to rheumatic diseases because the ligaments and tendons become damaged.
Other Assembly Line Related Health Problems
Barring traumatic injury due to an accident, working in a factory environment can cause problems with mobility, pain, and flexibility. The nature of the job places certain demands on the human body that can lead to certain types of injuries and health conditions, which include:
- Repetitive motion injury – When a worker performs the same task that involves the same movements over and over, it can lead to certain types of injuries. Carpal tunnel is common repetitive motion injury.
- Overexertion – Lifting, pulling, even standing can take a toll on the body, especially when it is done without adequate breaks. The person can get muscle fatigue, pulled muscles, and pulled tendons.
- Body movement injuries – When the worker is constantly reaching, twisting, crawling, and bending, it can cause problems with the muscles and joints.
Chiropractic can Help Assembly Line Workers
Chiropractic care can help keep bodies flexible and help with range of motion. It is a very effective, non-invasive treatment for pain and can help with joint and muscular problems as well. Regular chiropractic treatments can help you better manage your body’s response to your work environment. It can also undo many of the ill effects that that type of work can cause.
You can enjoy more pain free days without invasive surgeries or medications that leave you groggy, nauseous, or worse. When you sit down with your chiropractor, he or she will talk to you about your medical history as well as your current lifestyle. After a complete evaluation, you will be given a plan of action that may include lifestyle changes, dietary changes, and recommended supplements in addition to spinal manipulation.

"I have devoted myself to the cause of the people. It is a good cause. It shall ultimately prevail," so said THOMAS MUIR at his show trial for sedition in 1793.
His chief sin was talking & writing about parliamentary reform so that people in general had a vote, not just the landed gentry.Muir was 28 and already famous as a campaigner for democracy in both politics and the church. The jury was rigged so Muir was sentenced to 14 years transportation to Botany Bay, Australia. He escaped & after an epic journey across the Pacific, America & the Atlantic, reached France, weak & half blind, horrifically wounded across his face by the loss of his left cheekbone. He died there in 1799, the conclusion of many trials, physical & moral, for Scotland's first political martyr. He was only 33.
How to capture all this in a single portrait? This was KEN CURRIE's challenge when he was commissioned by the Lillie Gallery & East Dunbartonshire Culture & Leisure Trust to make Muir's portrait to celebrate the 250th anniversary of his birth.
"I read a lot. Did a lot of research. His is a complex, long involved story. He endured harsh & brutal treatment. I didn't want to re-tell it all like I did years ago for the People'sPalace Murals.
Currie working on the Calton Weavers murals in 1987.
I wanted to capture his many trials; show him suffering in the cause of parliamentary reform. Eventually I hit on a solution."
Currie's solution is stark, minimal, moving. Very effective. The portrait is sober,sombre, spell-binding. Surrounded byCurrie'scharacteristic dense, intenseblack, the bandaged youngMuirlooks out at us, one side of his injured face entirely shrouded by a black cloth tied around by a black band across his forehead.
"When I learned that his face was so badly damaged that he had to keep it hidden, the whole composition fell into place. Just as soldiers in World War 1 had leather masks made for the benefit of their family & the public, Seeing a man minus his leg was OK but horrific facial injuries led to stigmatisation."
Currie has used the black linen 'mask' to get us to focus on Muir's look - direct, fearless, committed, determined, expressive of his firm beliefs & resolve. While Muir's face is in focus, his body has a ghostly spectral air, as tho' receding, dying away.
"I painted several versions but this was the first. And I came back to it as the best," saysCurrie. "The body is very lightly painted, only a few glazes. But it works." A young guy in Currie's studio posed for the body - young agile, like Muir, all his life before him - before tragedy struck.
I guess we will never know exactly what Muir looked like after his brutal experiences -old engravings sometimes romantically hint at his youth, others at his classical stoicism.
Currie says, "Contemporary descriptions of him after he arrived in France toward the end of his life suggest that he was gaunt, pale and clearly considerably weakened and debilitated by his injuries. Despite this he continued to work for reform."
"Ken's portrait is persuasive of martyrdom," commented my husband, "There is that element of resignation to his look."
Currie's work has always been gripping. He produces pictures that can be uncomfortable but that reach for something deep. His Edinburgh Festival exhibition at the Scottish National Portrait Gallery 2 years ago was by far the best show in town. He is after all a seriously important painter. | <urn:uuid:1f90434b-ef93-404f-b12b-b5c8a57837cb> | CC-MAIN-2021-39 | http://clarehenry-artjournal.blogspot.com/2015/08/ken-currie-portrait-of-thomas-muir-at.html | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-39/segments/1631780053493.41/warc/CC-MAIN-20210916094919-20210916124919-00000.warc.gz | en | 0.987509 | 807 | 2.59375 | 3 |
The latest global temperature measurements are available for both satellite data and for the Hadley CRU temperature data , so I thought it would be interesting to compare these with the predictions made in 1990 by the first IPCC report. There is now sufficient data to test whether the GCM modeling of greenhouse gases used by the IPCC really matches up to reality. The result is shown below.
This comparison is based on the analysis described below.
Predictions from the IPCC Report 1990
“Based on the IPCC Business as Usual scenarios, the energy-balance upwelling diffusion model with best judgement parameters yields estimates of global warming from pre-industrial times (taken to be 1765) to the year 2030 between 1.3°C and 2.8″C, with a best estimate of 2 0°C This corresponds to a predicted rise from 1990 of 0.7-1.5°C with a best estimate of 1.1C. “
Prediction: 1990 to 2030 –> 0.7 – 1.5 degrees C
T = T(1990) + 0.0275*deltaY
Assuming a linear extrapolating to May 2011:
T(2011) = T(1990) + 0.58 (maximum of 0.79 and minimum of 0.37)
The data I have used are both the Hadley/CRU data which is an IPCC reference set based on global surface temperature measurements and UAH data using a NOAA satellite-based microwave measurement of the lower atmosphere temperature. The data for both sets is available as global averages. For the UAH data I calculated yearly averages for each year to allow a direct comparison with HadCru. The 2011 values are the averages as of May 2011. Both datasets actually publish “Temperature Anomalies” rather than the absolute temperature. These are merely the offset from a long-term average temperature. They use different intervals for the anomaly so this causes an offset. The actual data compared to the IPCC predictions are shown below in Figure 2. The IPCC curves are based on a linear increase using the 1990 temperature value of HadCrut. The curves through both datasets are least square smoothing fits.
Both datasets agree rather well in shape, ignoring the normalisation offset and the long term trends are remarkably similar. The two datasets are independent of each other; HadCrut is based on worldwide meteorological data, and the satellite IR data is calibrated without using any surface temperature data. This gives us confidence that they represent an accurate record of global temperatures over the last 21 years. The comparison with the IPCC predictions is made by normalising the UAH trend data to that of HadCru and then normalising the IPCC predictions to the 1990 HadCru trend value. The result is shown above in Figure 1.
Following a gradual rise of about 0.2 degrees from 1990 to 2000, global temperatures have stopped increasing and have actually fallen slightly. The only IPCC prediction which remains consistent with the current data is the lower prediction of a 0.7 degree rise from 1990 to 2030. The “Best” IPCC estimate and the higher 1.5 degree rise are ruled out by the data.
CO2 levels in the atmosphere have continued to rise over the last 10 years (see overlay to temperature comparison below in Figure 3) but temperatures have not risen since 2000. This implies that CO2 is not the main driver of global temperatures on these time periods and that other natural mechanisms are at least as important. No evidence of any positive temperature feedback with increasing CO2 levels is found. | <urn:uuid:e00c24fe-1602-47d3-a4d4-878bf5b50f5c> | CC-MAIN-2021-39 | http://clivebest.com/blog/?p=2208&replytocom=1599 | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-39/segments/1631780053493.41/warc/CC-MAIN-20210916094919-20210916124919-00000.warc.gz | en | 0.871226 | 723 | 2.921875 | 3 |
There could be no planetary atmosphere without gravity, but gravity also plays a fundamental role in the greenhouse effect thereby determining surface temperatures. To see why this is the case lets imagine that gravity has somehow been switched off and the atmosphere is held in place on the earth by an infinitely thin membrane at height d. Let’s also assume that the atmosphere is 100% composed of CO2 absorbing IR in the 15 micron band.
The atmosphere will behave as a perfect gas of temperature Ts. The pressure will be P = RTs/d and CO2 will absorb all 15 micron IR from the surface while emitting exactly the same amount to space at the membrane. Viewed from afar the IR spectrum will appear to be a perfect black body at temperature Ts. There is no greenhouse effect at all. Effectively the atmosphere can be viewed as part of the surface. There would be no net difference if the gas was replaced by Argon.
Conclusion: There can be no greenhouse effect without a gravitational field. CO2 has no greenhouse effect parallel to a gravitational field.
Now switch on gravity and remove the membrane. The atmosphere expands and a density/pressure gradient is setup as it quickly reaches hydrostatic equilibrium and the atmosphere extends upwards. The surface pressure equals the weight of the atmosphere per unit area – 15 psi or 101000 pascal falling exponentially with height approximately as
which assumes constant T, which as we will see is not exactly what occurs.
The density of CO2 molecules now diminishes exponentially with height. Therefore the IR radiative flux emitted by CO2 is no longer homogenous because gravity has broken the symmetry. Each layer has a different emissivity that depends on the density of CO2 molecules in that layer. Despite this radiative emission within a thin horizontal layer is still homogeneous in 2 dimensions and we call this ‘local thermodynamic equilibrium’ LTE for a given height h. However each height has a different emissivity ( or absorption) for 15 micron photons.
The net flux of radiation through the atmosphere from the surface at height h is then the integral of the (emission – absorption) from all lower levels minus the integral of the (emission – absorption) from all higher levels. There is no longer vertical thermodynamic equilibrium and temperature can vary with height.
How does the flow of radiative energy through the atmosphere change the energy balance? Since density falls exponentially there exists an effective emission height for each wavelength above which >50% of IR photons escape to space. I calculated this height for the 15 micron CO2 band using HITRAN cross-section data for 2 different concentrations of CO2 on earth..
Without convection the atmosphere would reach a radiative equilibrium whereby at all heights below this an equal flux of radiation would flow. This can only be achieved by the surface warming up significantly. Well before this can happen convection starts and stabilizes the temperature profile of the troposphere at the adiabatic lapse rate.
Here again gravity plays the crucial role because at the adiabatic lapse rate there is a perfect balance matching buoyancy against gravity. Such stable atmospheric condition are rare and this is what drives weather systems. Convection and the lapse rate both halt where the radiative transfer to thin upper layers stops and IR photons escape directly to space. This is the tropopause. Note that it is radiative transfer by GHGs through the troposphere that drives convection towards the lapse rate. The energy to power this atmospheric heat engine comes from the sun radiating energy directly onto the surface.
Conclusion: You need greenhouse gasses to generate a lapse rate. You need a lapse rate for greenhouse effect to work because radiation to space from higher altitudes reduces net upwelling IR. Gravity sets the scale of the lapse rate. (thanks tallbloke)
Blogger HockeySchtick and others (Stephen Wilde etc.) propose a purely gravitational/Mass theory of the atmospheric greenhouse effect seemingly independent of GHG. HockeySchtick writes :
The “effective radiating level” or ERL of planetary atmospheres is located at the approximate center of mass of the atmosphere where the temperature is equal to the equilibrium temperature with the Sun.
He then derives a formula for planetary temperature which works really quite well. However they all assume a pre-existing lapse rate generated only by gravity even in the absence of any greenhouse gasses. This is wrong because you need the sun’s energy plus both gravity and greenhouse gasses to power the convective heat engine maintaining the lapse rate. Radiative transfer of surface heat through the atmosphere tries to steepen the lapse rate towards radiative equilibrium. This instability drives convection (and evaporation on earth) resulting in the approximately observed adiabatic lapse rate. Gravity just defines the thermodynamic scale.
The centre of Mass of the atmosphere corresponds to a height with a pressure of half that of the surface pressure. This is also exactly where the number of CO2 molecules below and above are equal. Therefore you would expect this to approximately coincide with the effective emission height – but for a different reason. It is not the gravitational energy that is ‘warming’ lower levels due to compression – like in a bicycle pump . It is because above this level the IR ‘fog’ clears and photons can escape freely to space. Greenhouse warming is a subtle effect ’caused’ both by gravity and GHGs choking surface warming directly to space. You need both. A pure argon atmosphere would have no greenhouse effect and no real lapse rate.
How much warming results from CO2 on earth and how does that change with increased concentration? I previously calculated these emission spectra for different CO2 concentrations.
Resulting in a CO2 surface warming effect as follows
You can see how the surface temperature follows a . Direct CO2 forcing converges on a limiting GHE temperature at 100% concentration of about 11C for the 15 micron band. This is because the central lines saturate , and it is only the smaller side lines that continue to grow with concentration increase. So called ‘runaway greenhouse effects’ are not caused by CO2 but depend on assumptions about H2O feedbacks for hotter climates like that on Venus due to higher solar radiation.
The way the greenhouse effect on earth works is not obvious.
- There can be no greenhouse effect without gravity.
- Atmospheric pressure gradient is caused by gravity.
- The lapse rate scale is defined by gravity but is generated by convection.
- Convection is induced by Radiative transfer of heat through the atmosphere
- Radiative transfer is due to greenhouse gasses.
- There can be no greenhouse effect without greenhouse gases. Gravity alone will not work. | <urn:uuid:7c64666f-c8a2-4508-bab2-a35c3b0c89b7> | CC-MAIN-2021-39 | http://clivebest.com/blog/?p=6305&replytocom=7276 | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-39/segments/1631780053493.41/warc/CC-MAIN-20210916094919-20210916124919-00000.warc.gz | en | 0.914612 | 1,375 | 4.28125 | 4 |

Dara is a beautiful example of why Prayas, New Zealand’s first Indian theatre company, has been able to climb the ladder and become a force to be reckoned with in Auckland’s theatre scene. Time and time again, the company has presented stories that we, in a small country like New Zealand, would not be able to see and appreciate otherwise.
Set during the Mughal Empire (seventeenth century India) and based on true historic events, Dara follows the story of Emperor Shah Jahan’s sons in a battle for the throne rooted in the backdrop of the trials and tribulations of the Mughal empire and its subsequent demise. On one hand, Shah Jahan gave us the Taj Mahal, a historically admired symbol of love and devotion; and on the other gave us warring princes and the beginning of the end of the Mughal Empire. The fight for the throne between Dara and Aurangzeb is a fight between extremist ideological beliefs and the more peaceful and moderate interpretations of Islam; a fight that still bears as much relevance today as it did in the Mughal court hundreds of years ago.
The hard work of an incredibly talented and, might I add, good looking cast and crew was evident in the poetic and thrilling experience that they were able to deliver to eager audiences. Not one face in the crowd looked disappointed walking out, which was a feat considering the complexity of the story and the big task at hand of both educating and entertaining their viewers.
While the play itself is no longer being performed, I definitely recommend keeping an eye out for Prayas’ next theatrical endeavour as I am sure it is bound to be as captivating as Dara. | <urn:uuid:3655661c-a0f4-48a7-a494-a21e0258255e> | CC-MAIN-2021-39 | http://craccum.co.nz/reviews/theatre/theatre-dara-prayas-theatre/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-39/segments/1631780053493.41/warc/CC-MAIN-20210916094919-20210916124919-00000.warc.gz | en | 0.969666 | 351 | 1.835938 | 2 |
make them who they are. AKC
standards have defined both the look and
temperament of the breed. Thanks to the
diligence of breeding programs of the
past, a well bred Shih Tzu puppy can be
expected to grow into an adult dog that
will fit this standard. On this page
you will find a quick look at some of
those technical attributes. I have
also included a not so technical section
on these funny little creatures from the
observation of my dogs and their
The ancestry of the
Shih Tzu is generally thought to be of Tibetan origin.
The Shih Tzu (whose namemeans “lion”) is thought to
have been the oldest and smallest variety of the
Tibetan “holy dogs”. The breeding of this small dog
was a favorite pastime of imperial rulers
during much of China's history.
The American Kennel Club (AKC) promotes the sport
of purebred dogs and closely monitors the registration
of the various purebred breeds. The
AKC formally recognized the
Shih Tzu breed in 1969. The AKC has
developed a standard that defines what a Shih Tzu
should be, both physically and temperamentally.
The following are excerpts from the AKC
Shih Tzu breed standard. For the complete
standard, click on the AKC link.
The Shih Tzu is a sturdy, lively, alert toy
dog with long flowing double coat. The Shih Tzu
is proud of bearing, has a distinctively arrogant
carriage with head well up and tail curved over the
back. Although there has always been considerable size
variation, the Shih Tzu must be compact,
solid, carrying good weight and substance.
Mature weight between 9 to 16
pounds. Ideally, height at
withers is 9 to 10 1/2 inches; but, not less than 8
inches nor more than 11 inches. Regardless of
size, the Shih Tzu is always compact, solid and
carries good weight and substance.
Round, broad, wide
between eyes, its size in balance with the overall
size of dog being neither too large nor too small.
Warm, sweet, wide-eyed, friendly and trusting.
Large, round, not prominent, placed well apart,
looking straight ahead. Very dark. Lighter on liver
and blue pigmented dogs.
Large, set slightly below crown of skull; heavily
Square, short, unwrinkled, with good cushioning,
set no lower than bottom eye rim; never down turned.
Nose, lips, eye rims are black on all colors,
except liver and blue pigmented dogs.
Undershot. Jaw is
broad and wide. A missing tooth or slightly misaligned
teeth should not be too severely penalized. Teeth and
tongue should not show when mouth is closed.
Neck, Topline, Body
Utmost importance is
an overall well-balanced dog with no exaggerated
- Of sufficient length to permit natural high head
carriage and in balance with height and length.
- Short-coupled and sturdy with no waist or tuck-up.
The Shih Tzu is slightly longer than tall.
- Broad and deep with good spring-of-rib.
- Set on high, heavily plumed, carried in curve well
- Straight, well-boned, muscular, set well-apart and
under chest, with elbows set close to body.
- Firm, well-padded, point straight ahead.
Legs - Well-boned,
muscular, and straight when viewed from rear.
Luxurious, double-coated, dense, long, and flowing.
Slight wave permissible.
Color and Markings
All are permissible.
Straight effortless movement with good front reach
and equally strong rear drive, level topline,
naturally high head carriage, and tail carried in
gentle curve over back.
As the sole purpose of the Shih Tzu is that of a
companion and house pet, it is essential that its
temperament be outgoing, happy, affectionate, friendly
and trusting towards all.
The dog that will
make you feel like royalty.
The original goal in breeding the Shih Tzu was to
produce a companion for Chinese royalty. Today
the Shih Tzu does an awesome job of fulfilling this
roll, whether its owner is royalty or not. The
Shih Tzu was not bred to herd, hunt, pull sleds or dig
rats out of holes, so it does not have some of the
bothersome instincts found in many other breeds that
interfere with its suitability as a house pet.
One of the nice advantages about buying a Shih Tzu
puppy is the breed's consistency in personality.
If you buy a well-bred puppy you can reasonably
predict a lot about it. Each dog is an
individual, some are more out going, some are more
reserved. It is, however, uncanny how much they are
alike. These little dogs win everyone over with
their funny antics, their silly way of lying and
sitting in such undog like positions and their "I love
you" adoration. Top that with having a small dog
that isn't yappy and does not shed and the perfect
package is complete.
I have never met a Shih Tzu that is not a toy
freak. Give a Shih Tzu a little stuffed toy with
a squeaker hid inside and it will be as happy as the
proverbial clam. Toys not only make the dog
happy but provide hours of entertainment for the
owner, as they watch the dog play.
These little guys are the Cadillac of lap
dogs. Be prepared for company if you ever sit
down. They love lying on their backs cradled
like a baby and being on the receiving end of a good
tummy scratch. If your hands are busy they are
more than happy to curl up anywhere on your person
where they can find or make a little spot. Shih
Tzu are very much people dogs and thrive on contact
with people. They are not a good choice for
those who want a back yard pet who occasionally
requires their humans attention.
Although the Shih Tzu is the Cadillac of lap dogs,
it is by no means a sissy or a wimp. These
little guys are sturdy dogs. They love rough and
tumble play and long adventurous walks. A pile
of leaves or a snow bank will provide them with hours
of fun and keep you entertained in the process.
Their small size makes them a snap to clean up when
the smell of adventure clings too strongly to
them. A quick dip in the sink and a blow dry and
your lap dog is all set to curl up under your chin for
Shih Tzu come in all sorts of colors and patterns
of colors. These variations give each dog added
personality. The puppies dark markings often
lighten or completely change color by the time they
reach adulthood. Many people are surprised when
the red and white pup they brought home, changed to
such a light gold and white that as an adult they
could no longer see their markings. Looking at
the parents and being aware of the colors in the
puppies pedigree can give strong clues to their adult
color. Dogs with dark faces do not
have the visible face staining problem that affects so
many of the dogs with light faces.
The coat of the Shih Tzu can differ more than by
color. Some will have very straight coats,
while others have a slight wave to
their coat. Regardless of their coat
characteristics, the coat will continue to
grow and the length it reaches is determined by
whether you choose to cut it or not. Shih Tzu's
who are shown professionally will have full long coats
and a top knot to hold the hair out of their
eyes. Many pet owners choose to keep their Shih
Tzu's trimmed in what is often referred
to as a Puppy Cut. A trimmed Shih Tzu
is more than adorable and the advantage to a trimmed
dog is obvious ... unless you like to spend hours
taking care of all that hair. Since the
Shih Tzu does not shed its coat, they make perfect
furniture ornaments. It does not get
much better than that!
Male or Female? A large
percentage of prospective puppy buyers are looking for
a female. This
desire for a female probably stems from previous
experiences with other breeds. Unlike many larger
breeds, the Shih Tzu does not have sex-linked
temperament differences. Males are every bit as
affectionate as females (some say more), and an
aggressive Shih Tzu of either sex is unusual and
for the perfect pup remember you cannot ask too many
questions. It is often hard to tell a pup's
personality during a short visit. A very playful
and out going pup may appear reserved if he is
exhausted from some previous excitement.
Observations from the owner of the litter can clue you
into each pup's personality. Even though color
and size cannot be guaranteed, the owner, will be able
to make an educated guess based on bloodlines and
Shih Tzu is a companion that will be thoroughly
enjoyed by everyone in the family.

The question of law in blockchain-based systems is important and sometimes controversial. Many participants in the virtual currency and blockchain marketplace, from individuals to large banks, agree that top-down regulation would be a crippling mistake. Individuals, decentralized autonomous organizations and large corporations all want to use blockchain technology in ways that help sustain themselves financially, which means reliability in the relationships made in virtual space. The guiding principles of soft legal code and freedom of contract provide reference tools to help shape these relationships.
Issue: How can entities create reliable, enforceable deals while minimally infringing contracting parties’ liberty?
Rule: When faced with doing business in new or lawless territory, modern commerce and governments turn to soft legal code and relationship by contract to provide a minimally restrictive, reliable framework.
Analysis: The blockchain is analogous to new territory for doing business that has no existing law. The law has encountered such situations in recent history.
The Restatements. Common law develops at the trial level, through the recording of individual cases built into an ever-growing body of permanent jurisprudence. Common law works like a blockchain, an immutable, flexible authority machine. Over time, the rules of common law transactions grew so complex that it became important to write them down in order to use them. The Restatements of Law, especially the comments to it, try to give a consensus of the current state of common law and act as guiding principles. They are a secondary source of law, persuasive but not mandatory authority for judges and lawyers who might face a novel situation in their own jurisdictions.
The Restatements did not remain without primary authority function. Restatements gave territories that needed law a place to start. In the twentieth century, the U.S. Virgin Islands and Northern Mariana Islands territories had no legal system. They both needed a nonrestrictive framework from which to start, a flexible common law system that allowed commerce to flow rather than a regulatory civil code. The islands’ answer was to adopt the Restatements as common law and evolve it, case-by-case, to suit the individual territory’s needs.
The UCC. The United States faced expansion of commerce issues in the mid-twentieth century. The varying state of contract law across the country made commerce cumbersome and limited the ability of large companies to plan and utilize resources across jurisdictions. At the same time, contract law was growing more complex by the day and the human lawyer’s job of anticipating and planning contingencies became difficult. The Uniform Commercial Code was the solution: a code that provided for predictability in transacting business.
The UCC itself is not law and does not operate at the federal level. It is a model that states copied and enacted in their own legislatures, tweaking the code where necessary. It gave judges and lawyers a reasonable, predictable decision-making rubric to apply to complex business processes.
The UCC was an improvement over the Restatements of Contracts because the UCC added functionality. The UCC and contract law emphasize that contracting parties are free to make any agreement they want, but complying with the UCC makes agreements more functional. The UCC acts as a gap-filler and a best practices guide. For example, if a creditor goes through the steps outlined in UCC Article 9 (Secured Transactions) when repossessing and reselling collateral, the creditor is entitled to a judicial presumption of a commercially reasonable sale. The UCC continues to function and change to support U.S. business needs in commercial contracts.
UNIDROIT and UNCITRAL. As global commerce grew in volume, complexity and diversity, businesses and governments struggled with issues not unlike those faced by blockchain commerce today. One organization that developed out of the early League of Nations was International Institute for the Unification of Private Law (UNIDROIT). Authority is a complicated issue in international commerce, and when making contracts, parties wanted to avoid the “home field” advantage of having one jurisdiction’s law control a contract. International business law is ideally voluntary, private law created by contract. It is important for the parties to set their relationships up carefully, in a way that models known best practices and fairness, especially if the contract fails. The UNIDROIT idea was soft legal code, an evolution of secondary sources like the Restatements and functional model code like the UCC into a more flexible, less intrusive tool that provided an alternative to territorial legal systems.
“The UNIDROIT Principles are a useful alternative to the choice of both the domestic law of one of the parties and the law of a third country. The UNIDROIT Principles provide a balanced set of rules covering virtually all the most important topics of general contract law, such as formation, interpretation, validity including illegality, performance, non-performance and remedies, assignment, set-off, plurality of obligors and of obligees, as well as the authority of agents and limitation periods. Moreover, and even more important, the UNIDROIT Principles, prepared by a group of experts representing all the major legal systems of the world and available in virtually all the major international languages, are designed for use throughout the world irrespective of the legal traditions and the economic and political conditions of the countries in which they are to be applied.”
UNIDROIT and other model laws like UNCITRAL provide code-like principles of law and interpretation as well as model contract clauses. UNIDROIT model clauses are modular and allow parties to craft an agreement that reflects their wishes and provides for as much risk management as practicable. Soft legal tools are about providing voluntary, reasonable, stable, predictable relationships in an otherwise chaotic marketplace. This predictability is desirable enough for many international parties to choose to utilize UNIDROIT contract language. UNIDROIT is available in fifteen languages.
Conclusion: Tools, Not Rules

There is a new module on The ResponderSafety Learning Network for our brothers and sisters in Law Enforcement! Brought to you by the United States Department of Justice.
Studies have clearly demonstrated that high visibility personal protective equipment (PPE) significantly improves the visibility of emergency responders working on the roadways. Law enforcement operations on the road are inherently hazardous situations - operating on the roadway is one of the most dangerous law enforcement duties. However, anecdotal evidence, visual observation, and scientific studies have shown that many law enforcement officers do not consistently, or ever, wear a high visibility traffic safety vest or other apparel. Objections to wearing the vest include poor fit, interference with utility belt and weapon access, doubts about effectiveness, and concern about becoming a more visible target for violent criminals.
This program summarizes the federal regulations with regard to high visibility safety apparel, examines the objections of law enforcement officers to wearing this apparel, presents facts that address these objections, and details a set of solutions to address officers' objections and improve compliance with federal regulations, state regulations, and local policies.
To see the new module, click here!
We also hope that you will share this email with your peers and friends in law enforcement in hopes that they will take this free training. Our goal is to help all First Responders to do their difficult job with less risk.

During one of my recent home-alone lock downs, I watched The Wolf of Wall Street for the third or fourth time and became fixated by the scene at the end of the movie. A presumably reformed Jordan Belfort is introduced to a crowd of wannabe tycoons eager for advice from the bad boy of fast fortunes.
Belfort, convincingly played by Leonardo DiCaprio, walks on stage in an un-tucked dress shirt and new blue jeans to a round of applause. He stops, sighs and studies the room much like a hungry carnivore, surveying meat. He quietly steps down from the stage and approaches several anxious attendees in the front row and holds up his pen.
“Sell me this Pen,” he asks.
As they stumble with various pedestrian responses, “Um… it’s an amazing pen,” “Well, it’s a nice pen,” and “I personally love this pen.” I found myself chiming in from the couch, “C’mon, you can do better than that!”
I eventually posed the question to myself. How would I sell that pen?
That pen is power. It makes communication tangible and memorable. It’s part of a creative process that physically engages the more than 30 muscles in the human hand in the act of inspiration and influence. That pen is how we organize and formulate our thoughts into universally recognizable symbols. It is proof of concept, napkin math, and back-of-envelope calculations. It is the dotting of I’s and the crossing of t’s in a universal attempt to teach, train and elucidate. That pen is our bayonet in the deep, dark trenches of selling and persuasion.
I soon realized, however, that I can’t think of this pen the same way that I did last year. Illness, death, pandemics, riots, and massive job losses have changed things. This has been a hard year for many; I am no exception. 2020 has tested our mettle, challenged our sensibilities, and conjured up tribal coping skills that few modern generations have had to muster. We all experienced that transcendent moment in the second week of April when we came face-to-face with the Bubonic gaze of our 14th century ancestors.
As we masked up, holed up and obsessed about our body temperature – the world became a place of them and us. The hoarders and the hand-wringers – the Wile E. Coyotes and the Chicken Littles. The coronavirus proved soulless and indiscriminate; an alien life form that slipped into large cities and small towns, creeping surreptitiously like ‘the blob’ seeping through the aisles of the Colonial Theater.
We dutifully distanced and disembarked from our fellow man. Self-imprisoned Rapunzels shrinking in our makeshift towers – we zoomed and remoted, uploaded and downloaded in a daily ritual that became unedited and unkempt.
The world of touch was suddenly suspect. Light switches, door knobs, keys, and buttons became Ground Zero for respiratory droplets. We ordered from Amazon but were afraid of the delivery boxes. We braved the grocery store but stressed over the card reader. We counted 14 days from every casual encounter with the postman and the check-out girl. We had pandemic planners, blue surgical gloves, and N-95 masks but would have readily surrendered our kingdom for some toilet paper.
The mental gymnastics of tracing the door handle to our hands, our hands to our face, and our face to our eyes – was exhausting. As our minds and bodies fell apart and our relationships disintegrated, there were no trends lines to track the spread of sadness and desolation.
So how would I sell this pen in 2020? I would say it’s our chance to once again wrap our glove-less fingers around the palpable, tactile joys of life. It’s a means by which to pour our internal monologue of hope onto a page and re-create the poetry of proximity. It’s our opportunity to pull the chairs closer, peel up the foot print decals, and refill the theaters and restaurants with the beautiful unmasked faces of humanity.
This pen is self-determination. It’s a means to draft a better ending – to step out of this Truman Show and venture beyond the dome where simulation ends and slow dances begin. This is how we find our way home and crash the demarcation lines of safe distance to return to the beautiful chaos of reckless togetherness. | <urn:uuid:10b1b4e6-b298-4970-b116-de94b5caa7bd> | CC-MAIN-2021-39 | http://dwaej.xyz/sell-me-this-pen-a-2020-pandemic-story/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-39/segments/1631780053493.41/warc/CC-MAIN-20210916094919-20210916124919-00000.warc.gz | en | 0.958969 | 973 | 1.757813 | 2 |

I use the Responsive Classroom resources and they give me many ideas on how to build community trhough Morning Meeting (a time specifically set aside to teach children how to greet each other, how to share and listen to each other and how to create and uphold classroom rules together). They have great ideas on how to do this through song and games. Basically, Morning Meeting includes a song, a greeting, a game, morning news, and a "share" in which one child gets to speak and the others listen and comment. It works! I know that it works because I saw what happened when the time for Morning Meeting was taken away due to schedule changes. Special needs children and ELL students are accepted and are engaged in these activities because the games are fun and interactive. The other children don't see them as being different (at least in my first grade classroom).

Pa-hay-okee Trail - 0.15 Miles Round-Trip
The Pa-hay-okee Overlook Trail is a short walk along a raised boardwalk which offers sweeping vistas of the Everglades river of grass. Pa-hay-okee is a Seminole word meaning grassy waters and this land has long been inhabited by American Indians. The Calusa and Miccosukee Tribes have been adapting to this landscape for centuries.
The trail starts off on a boardwalk lined with Magnolia trees. As the boardwalk cuts through a hardwood hammock, the landscape quickly opens up to reveal a Bald Cypress forest. These coniferous Bald Cypress trees lose their needle-like leaves in winter due to the seasonal drought. As their leaves fall, the acids from the decaying plant material eat away at the limestone surrounding the tree trunk. creating holes which fill with water. These solution holes, which are common in the Everglades, enable the tree to gather and save water for use during the dry season (winter). The solution holes also act as oases for wildlife during times when water is scarce.
The trail continues past the Bald Cypress forest and onto the overlook. Here, interpretive signs explain the ecology of the Shark River Slough. The slough is an 8-mile wide sheet of slowly moving water. It flows southwest towards the Gulf of Mexico and is the central support system of the Everglades.
Past the overlook, a set of stairs leads down a few feet for a close up view of the freshwater marl prairie. After passing a few more solution holes, the trail ends back at the parking area.

What about integrating poetry, literature, calligraphy, design and urban intervention? It was from this spirit that Gema was invited to join the development of a pilot project called REFLETE (“reflect”), which will take place in Lisbon, Portugal. Felipe Fernandes and Juliana Almeida are the project’s creators, both Brazilians living in Lisbon. The idea is to pervade the city – and people – with notorious verses from Portuguese literature, allowing them to pause, reflect, look around and get moved, in times when contemplation is almost gone.
Gema’s proposal is based on linear modules precisely laid out to reveal specific desirable angles. Arranged individually or combined, the modules will have fully mirrored sides, including their top, and the verses will be applied on the reflective surface. This way, people will their own reflection merged with the verses and the city.

Albert Culbreath, University of Georgia research plant pathologist, focuses his research projects on tomato spotted wilt virus (TSWV) and leaf spot. According to Culbreath, TSWV has flared up quite severe this year in some areas and has been a challenge for growers. The virus is spread by thrips so he is studying various insecticides that may help. There are also new peanut varieties developed by the University of Georgia and the U.S. Department of Agriculture that has improved resistance to TSWV. He has noticed that the planting date that minimizes TSWV seems to maximize leaf spot. Culbreath is also working with geneticist and breeders to develop molecular markers to develop selection of lines with TSWV and leaf spot resistance. | <urn:uuid:e92e70ea-2310-4b01-909c-849ca8413de0> | CC-MAIN-2021-39 | http://georgiapeanuttour.com/?p=1319 | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-39/segments/1631780053493.41/warc/CC-MAIN-20210916094919-20210916124919-00000.warc.gz | en | 0.983222 | 156 | 2.40625 | 2 |
Babies Produce Strong Immune Response to Ward Off COVID-19: Study
MONDAY, June 14, 2021 (HealthDay News) -- British researchers report that babies have a strong immune response to the virus that causes COVID-19, based on a new, small study.
For the research, the investigators assessed the immune systems of four infants under 3 months of age who had recovered from COVID, and compared them with adults who also had recovered from the disease.
Compared to adults, the babies produced relatively high levels of antibodies and immune cells that can specifically protect against the SARS-CoV-2 virus.
That could be why babies seem able to ward off COVID-19 at a time of life when they might be expected to be more vulnerable, according to the authors.
"By conducting a detailed study on young infants who are relatively protected from severe COVID-19, we have shown what protective immunity 'looks like' in terms of the make-up of specific antibodies and immune cells directed against SARS-CoV-2," said study author Dr. Anu Goenka, a clinical lecturer at the University of Bristol and Bristol Royal Hospital for Children.
"This is very useful information for the design of future COVID-19 vaccines that could seek to induce and mimic the signature of this protective immunity," he said in a university news release.
The findings were recently published in the journal Cell Reports Medicine.
Goenka and his team hope to confirm the findings in a larger group of infants, and also to compare infant and adult immune response during a COVID-19 infection and at several points after recovery.
During the pandemic, kids have been much less likely than adults to become seriously ill with COVID-19. That was unexpected, especially in young infants who are vulnerable to severe disease from other respiratory viruses, such as RSV (respiratory syncytial virus) and flu, the researchers noted.
They said little data has been published previously on young infants' immune response to SARS-CoV-2.
The Mayo Clinic has more on COVID-19 in babies and children.

Diffusion tensor MRI showing breaks on long fibre tracts when myelin is lost. This example is from a model of multiple sclerosis. See explanation below. Thanks to the team at the Experimental Imaging Centre and Dayae Jeong.
What is injured in your brain after a concussion? It is pretty obvious that something isn’t quite right. There is a list of symptoms in the sport concussion assessment tool three, the SCAT3, that you can look at for a range of symptoms.
The brain has long communicating fibre bundles called nerve tracts. These are clearly visible on MRI. The problem that MRI researchers have had in the past is that the changes are very subtle and not visible on standard MRI’s.
To overcome this problem, MRI groups have been working intensely to make the images more sensitive to the injury. There are MRI methods, called “sequences” by MRI specialists, which are showing promise as being sensitive to structural injury. These sequences are sensitive to the amount of myelin. Myelin is the covering on nerves that helps the signal travel down the nerve. When you lose myelin, as occurs in conditions such as multiple sclerosis, the nerve doesn’t function as well. If the myelin doesn’t regrow, the nerve may die.
Clinical MRI systems are actually imaging protons and the most abundant source of protons in the body is in water. So MRI is really imaging water. The trick to making contrast in the image is to make the sequence sensitive to things that can change in the water.
For instance, water can diffuse or move. In the brain, water diffuses fairly readily along fibre tracts but does not readily diffuse across a tract. This is because myelin is similar to soap, and it repels water. An MRI sequence called diffusion tensor imaging has emerged which is sensitive to the amount of water and the direction the water is diffusing. If water diffuses randomly in all directions, it is called anisotropic diffusion. If the diffusion has a directionality, it is isotropic. The measure of this is the fractional anisotropy or FA.
If myelin is damaged, water can more readily diffuse in all directions and the FA will decline. Such changes have been observed indicating that myelin may be damaged in certain regions of the brain after mTBI.

Zafonte A review of magnetic resonance imaging and diffusion tensor imaging findings in mild traumatic brain injury. Brain Imaging Behav 6(2): 137-92.
Another sequence that looks at myelin is called quantitative T2. A very specific, not widely available variant is called imaging myelin water fraction or MWF. The University of British Columbia MRI group has been a leader in this area. They looked at MWF in athletes and, indeed, found reduced MWF along major fibre tracts in brain. http://journals.plos.org/plosone/article?id=10.1371/journal.pone.0150215
Again, this supports the idea that damage to myelin occurred.
Wright, A. D., M. Jarrett, I. Vavasour, E. Shahinfard, S. Kolind, P. van Donkelaar, J. Taunton, D. Li and A. Rauscher (2016) Myelin Water Fraction Is Transiently Reduced after a Single Mild Traumatic Brain Injury – A Prospective Cohort Study in Collegiate Hockey Players. PLoS One 11(2): e0150215.
Another sequence is called magnetization transfer imaging or MTI. This one looks at how water interacts with surrounding chemicals and how those chemical transfer some of their MRI related characteristics (or magnetization) to water. This is where the label “magnetization transfer” arose. One can design a sequence such that a lot of magnetization is transferred to water if myelin is present, but not much if myelin is not present. So the MT declines as myelin is lost.
There has been less work on MTI, but I expect to see a lot more. What has been done though, is consistent with the other methods. A decline in MT has been observed.
McGowan, J. C., J. H. Yang, R. C. Plotkin, R. I. Grossman, E. M. Umile, K. M. Cecil and L. J. Bagley (2000) Magnetization transfer imaging in the detection of injury associated with mild head trauma. AJNR Am J Neuroradiol 21(5): 875-80.

So, there are three MRI methods that have been used to show a loss of myelin after concussion or mTBI. This is worrying as it is very difficult to re-grow myelin to its original form. It is encouraging as there are imaging methods on the horizon that may help identify the extent of injury after concussion.
Diagnosing concussion is one thing, and we probably do that pretty well now. However to manage the injury we need to know the magnitude of the injury, where the injury has occurred, and whether the injury has recovered. This is the holy grail of brain imaging in the field of concussion research. | <urn:uuid:019298ab-9e53-4012-9466-5581d8beb414> | CC-MAIN-2021-39 | http://jeffdunn.info/2016/03/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-39/segments/1631780053493.41/warc/CC-MAIN-20210916094919-20210916124919-00000.warc.gz | en | 0.939467 | 1,313 | 2.90625 | 3 |

Sheltering at Home? Take Steps to Prevent Injuries From Falls
SUNDAY, April 12, 2020 (HealthDay News) -- As you shelter at home during the coronavirus pandemic, eliminate hazards inside that could lead to falls, the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons (AAOS) suggests.
Preventing injuries will help avoid putting added strain on a health care system struggling to treat COVID-19 patients, academy spokesman Dr. Todd Swenning said.
One out of five falls causes a serious injury, such as a broken bone or even head trauma, he added.
"While common perception is that falls only happen to older populations, the truth is that anyone is susceptible, especially with increased family members in the home or changes to your daily routine," Swenning said in an academy news release. "The good news is that most falls can be prevented with a few simple precautions."
Start with your footwear. Wear sturdy and proper footwear, make sure your shoes are properly tied, don't wear socks without grips, and replace stretched out or loose slippers, Swenning advised.
In the bedroom: Place a lamp, telephone or flashlight near your bed; have a bed that's easy to get into and out of; put a nightlight between your bedroom and the bathroom; and arrange clothes in your closet so that they're easy to reach.
In other areas of your home: Arrange furniture so there are clear paths between rooms; install easy-access light switches at room entrances so you don't have to walk into a dark room to turn on the light. Don't run extension cords across walking areas; secure loose area rugs with double-faced tape, tacks or slip-resistant backing; and avoid sitting in a chair or on a sofa that is so low that it's difficult to stand up.
Keep flashlights nearby in case of a power outage; keep stairs clear of clutter; repair loose stairway carpeting or wooden boards immediately.
In the bathroom: Place a slip-resistant rug next to the tub; use a rubber mat or nonskid adhesive textured strips inside the tub or shower. Keep a nightlight. Never rush to the bathroom.
The U.S. National Institutes of Health has more on preventing falls.

The gentle as well as serene open seascape is not complete without a smooth sailboat on the horizon. With the presentation of electricity, the sailboats are now generally utilized for relaxation sailing, and the sailboat models embody a period long past. The stylish allure of boat models are its past time beguile. Sailboat models are exemplary bits of painstakingly developed work of art. The toy boat is one of the most famous sorts of boat models.
The image of a quiet ocean is just finished with an effortless boat included. A slight review feel is contained in the picture of boat models in this present reality where electric boats have overwhelmed. Boat models are weighty with old fashioned appeal and character. Boat models are exemplary bits of painstakingly built craftsmanship. Boat models are at their generally essential as the drastically well known toy boat. While the toy boat is for the most part the most affordable, boat models are reproduced and sold in a huge scope of costs and quality, and any purchaser should remember their value range when looking for one.
Boat models are formed after genuine boats, and in this manner contain many varying provisions relying upon the boat. A sloop is the most well-known kind of sailboat these days; it has one pole and two sails which loan to the simple distinguishing proof of this sort of boat. The shaper looks practically indistinguishable from the sloop boat model put something aside for the pole found nearer to the toward the back of the boat and two head cruises that give it its characterizing shape. The yawl, catch, catboat, and yacht are different kinds of boat models, and each appears to be extremely unique from its sister boats.
Yachts are lovely boats that make amazingly great models, and are repeated continually. Due to their appearance, boat models are both well-known and ideal for designing any home or office space, or any room with nautical style. Wood dividers and marble floors or counters are praised by the dazzling white of the sails of the boat model.
Searching for a sailboat can be fun however cost. You can, in any case, set aside a ton of cash on the off chance that you consider purchasing a pre-owned or used one and there are some significant benefits of doing this. When you fantasize of getting your own boat to journey off into the ocean, would you say you are worried that the expense of a new sailboat will be too hard on your financial plan to make your fantasy at any point materialize? Maybe you ought to consider investigating every one of the pre-owned boats available to be purchased today, in light of the fact that for less expensive the expense of a vehicle, you could before long be cruising away on your own special old fashioned boat. In light of the enormous drifting blast in the eighties, the market has been overwhelmed with more established boats – many perfectly kept up with and still fit – despite the fact that they are many years old. | <urn:uuid:64068be7-d902-4eb0-9ddc-09a592d9ebf3> | CC-MAIN-2021-39 | http://lipsicovestado.info/category/home-products-services/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-39/segments/1631780053493.41/warc/CC-MAIN-20210916094919-20210916124919-00000.warc.gz | en | 0.971811 | 604 | 1.75 | 2 |
Mental health disorders are a huge global burden. It affects approximately one in five people that meet specific criteria of a known condition. Therefore, it can be concluded that almost 80 percent of individuals experienced a mental health problem over their lifetime. Some of these conditions are incredibly disabling. Of course, not all of these mental health issues are a necessary cause of death, but they link mostly to a huge source of people’s disability.
Risk Factors Of Mental Health
There are no specific risk factors for mental health disorders as people deal with the conditions differently. But research shows that mental illnesses are more common among individuals with traumatic experiences, socially disadvantaged groups, and ones with chronic conditions. Some conditions also become common when there is already an existing mental illness or genetically available condition.
Experts believe that mental health problems depend on risk factors generally coming from the kind of life people live and their environments. It involves daily experiences such as poverty, exclusion, trauma, conflict, chronic diseases, etc. With this wide variety of reasons for mental illness, it is significantly important to understand the risk factors. It is essential to find ways to deal with the condition and address future mental health complications.
The Connection Of Air Pollution To Mental Illness
The large industries releasing massive fumes, cars emitting smoke, agricultural burning of fields, and smug engulfing the skies, are all contributors to air pollution. All of these are risk factors that add to the growth of mental illness in people.
Does air pollution really affect mental health? People might question the connection of air pollution to mental health problems as these two things are far more unrelated than ever. At first thought, they might say that it does not make much sense. However, studies show an emerging source that suggests the correlation of air pollution to mental health disorders.
In some previous years, the idea that these two things are related comes from the worries and distress people deal with their environment. Meaning, the buildup of mental health conditions only lies in people’s concern for the environment’s health. However, in the present years where people constantly expose themselves to air pollution, experts began looking closely to more mechanistic causes. These include studies in the toxicological and animal literature.
The observations included in the research consist of persistent exposure to moderate levels of nitrogen oxide, which leads to psychiatric illnesses. It also tackles the involvement of the environment where higher levels of traffic exist in such big cities. Some studies reveal that too much exposure to air pollution causes a series of psychiatric disorders, particularly nicotine addiction, alcohol dependence, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, stress, anxiety, and depression. Generally, the study is genuinely difficult to translate as there are considerations in it. But the results are highly suggestive.
According to another study, air pollution contributes to certain conditions that promote moderate to severe mental illness such as anxiety, stress, and depression. One in particular damaging factor is inflammation oxidative stress. It is a particular thing that gets associated with mental health as it impacts either the body or the brain, or both.
And since air pollution is known as a risk factor for respiratory and cardiovascular diseases, experts believe that it can exacerbate symptoms where people interpret it as a feeling of anxiousness or depression. Aside from that, there is evidence that air pollution impacts the neurotransmitter levels of the brain, specifically the stress response.
The Realm Of Air Pollution And Suicide
People might think that linking air pollution to mental illness is unacceptable. However, there are scientific studies that provide answers to the correlation. Mental health disorders and air pollution seem to work together like suicides are more likely to occur in certain situations where air pollution is high. But admittedly, there are a lot of unknowns to this suicide and air pollution link. Though some experts claim a potential link between these two, the inconsistency is far more obvious than the desired result.
Though the realm of pollution and suicide is somehow uncertain, other studies are still ahead of the result. That includes the suggestions that prove the influence of air pollution on mental health symptoms, including anxiety, bipolar disorder, depression, and other mental health conditions contributing to suicide. But then again, these studies need to be proven as it is still causing an ongoing debate among individuals.
The lesson to learn here is quite simple. Air pollution may not have a direct impact on mental health problems. Still, it certainly acts as a catalyst or an aggravating factor that contributes largely to lung and heart health complications. Unfortunately, it also has the ability to put the central nervous system at risk for other severe psychological health issues. | <urn:uuid:dbcab63a-b63f-44cb-a9e4-76db06944354> | CC-MAIN-2021-39 | http://livinglightseoul.net/2021/05/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-39/segments/1631780053493.41/warc/CC-MAIN-20210916094919-20210916124919-00000.warc.gz | en | 0.951526 | 919 | 3.1875 | 3 |
The other day, a young kid on the bus struck up a conversation with me. During the conversation, he said he wanted to make a lot of money because he doesn’t get enough respect from his peers. He thought if he could become rich enough, he could earn that respect.
Thinking about this conversation later, I realised no one really wants money. Money is meaningless. When people say they want money, they really mean they want something intangible which money can help them get. This could be respect, as in the case of this young man. For a lot of people, it probably comes down to happiness, security, love, power, respect or freedom.
Personally for me, I like freedom. I like being able to work on what I want and having autonomous control over my time and activities.
For the past few years, I’ve had dreams of retiring early so I can spend time doing what I want. I follow the blog Early Retirement Extreme of a man who retired in his early 30s by saving 80% of his salary and making smart investments which now cover his humble living expenses. This was the path I wanted to follow up until my revelation after this conversation.
What I really want is freedom. Money is just a tool that can be used to buy my time and freedom. However, if I want to save enough to retire extremely early, I would basically need to postpone life. Postponing life for a few years is a sacrifice to get to the goal. But since money is just a tool to achieve freedom, I should just cut out the middle-man to achieve my goal faster.
After getting laid off in 2009, I ramped up my free-lance work. It didn’t take long for me to find enough work to pay for my lifestyle. I managed to survive just as most people manage to do. It’s human nature to find a way. That feeling of knowing that even getting laid off does not really affect me is priceless.
If you are working long hours or on something you don’t like for money, ask yourself what you are really working for? Remember, you don’t really want the money. What do you want to use that money for? Is it happiness? Freedom? Love? Once you have the answer, understand that you can cut out the middleman and go right for it. Don’t postpone life.

Pause for a second and look outside your window at a bird, a squirrel, or even an insect. These organisms all perform complex tasks that involve perceiving food and threats, navigating around trees, and following or hiding from other animals. There is not a robot or a drone on the planet that can do what these bugs and small animals can easily do.
While “natural” intelligence is rich and multi-purpose, today’s AI is still remarkably primitive. Currently, AI tools are “raw.” They’re designed and built (coded) for one special purpose and are relatively unsophisticated. For example, code and sensors that manage drones, self-driving cars, and toys are typically focused only on one task among the numerous at hand — such as navigation, object identification, or speech recognition.
For all of these applications to be similar to biological organisms, AI needs a “brain.” Current AI brainpower is designed and built to deliver narrow, isolated functions. You might call it stove-piped functionality. Each function, while certainly AI, is disconnected and isolated in terms of processing. This means that AI can beat a human chess champion but tends to fall apart when presented with new scenarios. Unlike the AI chess player, that human chess champion can not only play an effective game, but he can also do a number of other activities that require a tremendous amount of processing and judgment, like being able to stand up, drive a car, talk to his kids, listen to music, produce a painting, and more. So, when you make a direct and thorough comparison of AI’s ability to be “equal to humans” or even animals, you can see that we have a long, long way to go in artificial intelligence. We’re technology cavepeople.
The key difference between where we are with AI today versus where we will be in 2027 is that AI will function more like the human and animal brain, which are capable of so much more than today’s AI. Instead of stove-piped processing that parses discrete inputs, we walk through life taking into account multiple sensory modalities, and we make decisions based on multiple, simultaneous complex factors that help us achieve the best outcome.
Take, for example, the brain of a rat. Even the smallest animal brains have evolved to solve complex problems, such as enabling animals to forage for food, avoid predators, and interact with other animals. Even with a brain that weighs about two grams, the rat’s ability to combine navigation with visual, olfactory, and touch cues (via whiskers) means that it can accomplish tasks that include sensing, planning, navigation, and obstacle avoidance. These separate functions of the rat’s brain are all integrated and ultimately provide a “turnkey solution” for the task at hand. The secret of animal (and human) brains is that they have discovered a way to co-engineer these various skills in the same low-power package.
This sort of co-engineering is what we call a “whole brain” approach, and this new paradigm is where AI is headed. Integrated processing will become common, and the boundary between software, AI, and human/animal intelligence will blur. Just as the human or animal brain relies upon and incorporates multiple brain areas for efficient and autonomous operation, the AI of tomorrow will leverage integrated deep learning frameworks and edge processing to make AI increasingly real time.
With multiple AI functions built into the same package or single computing block, AI systems will achieve better, faster performance due to the synergies between systems. This will enable AI to accomplish abstract reasoning, allowing machines to execute sophisticated, non-intuitive actions that bring them a step closer to us.
For example, the blurred line between AI and software could apply to making transportation easier and safer. Today’s self-driving cars are designed with the stove-piped approach of adding one sensor or module at a time and then combining all these processing streams in the hope that they work. On the other hand, humans synergistically combine tactical vision — “Look out! There’s a pothole ahead!” — with:
- High-level navigation: “I know that building; I usually turn right here.”
- Long-range collision avoidance: “That car drives funny. I will keep my distance.”
- High-level planning: “I better take that side road, because it may have less traffic.”
While a traditional approach would result in an unmanageable tangle of hard-to-integrate software and hardware components, whole-brain AI approaches co-design these components using the same building blocks throughout the whole brain: artificial neurons connected by simulated synapses, pretty much like brains do with their natural counterparts.
Another example is our work with NASA. When Neurala was working with NASA to design a “rat brain” to guide a Mars Rover on a simulated Mars environment, we followed this whole-brain approach, as we had a small amount of compute power to rely upon and could only afford a solution that would not just combine all these functions in one package, but would also do it efficiently.
After all, even today’s stove-piped AI is making the software and machines with which we interact so much better, delivering improved productivity in many parts of our lives. As AI begins to emulate advanced human and animal brain activity, it will become an increasingly useful tool, solving problems in real time and leveraging humanlike decision-making capabilities. In 10 years, the same sort of integrated processing that makes the lowly rat seem like a genius will be the kind of AI that delivers benefits to all.

PETA people: this cat is sleeping

Schrödinger's Cat is a thought experiment created by Erwin Schrödinger to answer the Copenhagen interpretation of Quantum Mechanics. The Copenhagen interpretation, as built by Bohr, Heisenberg, and others, explains the outcomes of various difficult experiments as superimposed probabilities. In other words, since these experiments could not be explained using simple physical theory or simple math, Bohr and the rest decided to express the outcome with more difficult, more opaque math and with a theory that was purposely and one might say extravagantly irrational.
Amazingly, only a couple of major physicists were bothered by this. Schrödinger was bothered by it, and so was Einstein. Einstein presented the famous EPR paper in 1935, arguing against Bohr; and Schrödinger and his cat joined Einstein soon thereafter. These three personages were the only major holdouts against Bohr, but they were defeated. The Copenhagen interpretation is still the reigning interpretation. Yes, illogic still rules the nest in particle physics. Einstein, Schrödinger, and the cat were dead when the box was opened, and they are still dead.
I will gloss both sides very quickly. Schrödinger put a cat in a box (in his theory). There is some mechanism in the box that may kill the cat or not. There is a lid and we cannot see the cat. After some time, we pose the question, is the cat alive or dead? Schrödinger says the cat must be either alive or dead. Because this is intuitively true, the Copenhagen interpretation cannot be right.
In the Copenhagen interpretation of QM, every state is represented by a wave function, that is, by an equation. A system, or a group of more than one possible state, is represented by a superposition of wave functions. Therefore, before an observation is made, the system is still superimposed. The math is superimposed, so the system must be as well. The cat is both alive and dead.
This silly answer is just an outcome of the probability math involved, but mathematicians and physicists don't like to admit that. They should know better, but they are very attached to their maths, and they don't like to admit that choice of math affects, and may even determine, the form the theory ends up taking. A complex and abstract math will lead to a complex and abstract theory, and in the modern world, the math always comes first. The theory is only cobbled together around the math afterwards. As I say, physicists should know this, since they have other maths and other theories that prove just this, but there still isn't much synthesis in the modern world. The synapses between various disciplines are lacking, and we only have a compendium of detached neurons (assuming we have anything but empty words and numbers).
Anyway, the way the math sets up does not allow these physicists to say why we see only one state. Because there is no mechanics underneath this math, there is no way to explain how the system goes from multiple possibilities to one reality. Rather than seek this mechanics, modern physics has taken the far easier route of just inventing a pseudo-mechanism. According to this pseudo-mechanism, it is the act of observation that bumps the superimposed wave functions into one real state. This is called the “collapse of the wave function,” but that is just a fancy phrase for a set of probabilities becoming a reality. Yes, somehow, your eyeball has the amazing mechanical ability to mold probabilities into realities, like a hand reaching out and squeezing an experiment like a lump of clay.
Does the pseudo-mechanism have any more content than that? No. We are not told that particles are emitted by the eye or detector, causing some pinball-like collapse of quanta. The mechanism is just a piece of magic. The observation must cause the collapse, because, well, what else could?
But the faux-theory is even worse than that. Even in its most wishful phase, the theory cannot explain why we see one collapse into one reality rather than a different collapse into a different reality. We only get the “explanation” for a general collapse. But what we see is a particular collapse. We see only one outcome out of many. Why did the other outcomes not occur? No explanation for that.
If we apply that to the cat, this collapse of the wave function tells us that the observation makes the two probabilities collapse into either “alive” or “dead.” But the theory cannot tell us which one. How does the eyeball know it wants dead instead of alive, or the reverse, and how does the eyeball tell the cat that? There is a choice here, not just a collapse. How does the observation choose? And once the choice is made, how is the information communicated?
At Wiki, we get Steven Weinberg's explanation:
Considerable progress has been made in recent years toward the resolution of the problem, which I cannot go into here. It is enough to say that neither Bohr nor Einstein had focused on the real problem with quantum mechanics. The Copenhagen rules clearly work, so they have to be accepted.1
Imagine that someone thought that worth quoting, or worth writing down. Considerable progress has been made? “We have to accept them” is considerable progress over what? What scientific statement could be less scientific than that?
The “considerable progress” is actually the “many worlds” hypothesis of Hugh Everett, which is trumpeted as a fascinating hypothesis to this day by the various magazines. Everett proposed in 1957 that all possibilities exist simultaneously, in real worlds, but that these worlds did not communicate with each other. We exist in one of these parallel universes. When we open the box with the cat in it, we become entangled with the cat. The cat we see depends on the universe we are in.
The problem there, however, is the same as before. That hypothesis solves nothing, it simply adds more science fiction to the story. There is no answer to the question of why we see the cat we do. In other words, there is no mechanism for determining which specific state the probabilities fall into. Everett says, “because that is the universe we live in,” but that is a dodge. That's is like being asked why a circle curves, and answering, “because it is round.”
Even Roger Penrose admits that all this is unsatisfactory:
I wish to make it clear that, as it stands, this is far from a resolution of the cat paradox. For there is nothing in the formalism of quantum mechanics that demands that a state of consciousness cannot involve the simultaneous perception of a live and a dead cat.2
Well, it is good to see that Penrose sees a problem here, although he doesn't perceive the real problem.
I hope you can see that he just misdirected us into some strange new problem, and some strange new world where people can see a cat as living and dead at the same time. But that isn't the real problem here. The problem is that we don't have any mechanics underneath our math, so we don't know what the hell is going on. Then we have to come up with some fairy tale to explain it.
This fairy tale is now given a name: decoherence. Decoherence is another one of those fancy words that modern people like to come up with to cover the fact that they have no answer. The probabilities decohere into a reality, and the observation causes the decoherence. Content of words: zero. Nothing is said there. It is new words posing as meaning, while having no meaning.
You may think that decoherence is just a phenomenon of particle physics or of quantum particles, but you would be wrong. Murray Gell-Mann, one of the fathers of QCD, tells us in his recent book The Quark and the Jaguar, that Mars is also a probability. He recounts a conversation with Pauli decades ago, in which they agreed that Mars must be bound by the laws of quantum mechanics, just as much as an electron. Mars does not exist until you look at it.
All this is very edifying as a study of the curious mania of modern physics, whereby rationality can so easily be dumped by an entire century of top scientists. But it is even more edifying to study now that I have shown the simple mechanism under their math. In my superposition3 and entanglement papers4, I have shown the logical solution to the various paradoxes, and this solution only required that I give the quanta real spin. 20th century physicists always resisted doing that why?: because it would ruin their beloved maths. It wouldn't necessarily ruin the wave function itself, but it would ruin the fancy operator math and the gauges and the manufactured symmetries. And as the century wore on, the list of things it would ruin grew greater. Since more and more math was piled on the problem to hide it, all this new math would be ruined, along with much of the old math. If your symmetries were shown to be manufactured, then your symmetry breaking would also be shown to be manufactured, and all of particle physics since 1960 would fall into a heap. That is why people like Weinberg and Gell-Mann have to defend the old theories to this day. Their Nobel Prizes depend on keeping the fairy tales.
I wrote this paper to point to something else interesting in all this, and now it will be almost a tack-on. Although I like Schrödinger, his cat experiment is actually not to the point. It does not address the problem like it should, and it therefore does not solve the problem like it should. You see, his cat may be either alive or dead, but the problem of quantum theory is not “alive” or “dead,” it is existence or non-existence. There is a big difference, since a dead cat still exists. The body is there either way. But when we apply the wave function to quanta, we are not calculating the probability of finding a dead electron or a live one, we are calculating the probability of finding an electron. If we don't find an electron, it is not because it is dead, it is because it is not there. It is elsewhere. It does not exist in the position or energy of the specific function. This is very important because even if we like Hugh Everett's theory, we can now replace it with a many-positions theory instead of a many-worlds theory. A many-positions theory is obviously much less radical and much less fairytale-like. If the electron isn't in position A, it isn't in some other universe, it is just in position B or C, etc.
So we can immediately see that Schrödinger, while intending to clarify a problem, actually complicated it more. The problem should have just been one of existence at a given position or energy, but the cat problem led quantum physics into metaphysics and epistemology, and specifically the two sticky problems of proof and observation. By the latter, the cat question becomes a variation of the old “if a tree falls in the forest” problem. We will bypass the question of sound, because that is a further complication, but if a tree falls in the forest and no one is there to see it fall, did it fall? Unless physics wants to retreat into idealism or solipsism, it must must answer yes. In the sentence, we are given that the tree fell, therefore it fell. Our observation has nothing to do with it.
Unfortunately, physics has fallen into this idealism without seeming to realize it. Once the observer is allowed to determine action in any way, even in the case of entanglement, all is lost to idealism. If an observer can determine a quantum interaction, and if even Mars is bound by quantum laws, then the observer must determine all outcomes. Either that, or the theory is required to tell us why some events require observers and others don't. Logically, if quantum events are expressed by wave functions, and if wave functions require observation for decoherence, and if all bodies are made up of quanta, then all events require observers. And if the observer determines all outcomes, then nothing is happening beyond our cone of sight or cone of telescoping. The universe beyond the reach of our instruments must be undetermined and fully entangled, unless we propose telescoped aliens dotting the entire universe. This theory of the observer is a physical non-starter, for so many reasons.
But even greater problems were allowed in by the cat problem. Hume's disproof of all proof re-enters on its back, and we have to slog through all that again. Even Einstein misunderstood Hume, as I have shown in another paper5, so both sides of the argument were immediately lost at that point. Einstein said in a letter to Born,
I am well aware that no causality exists in relation to the observable; I consider this realization to be conclusive.
I assume Einstein thinks he learned that from Hume, but he goes well beyond what Hume showed or proved. Hume showed that you cannot prove causality; but Hume did not thereby disprove causality. Lack of proof is not a disproof. In a nutshell, Hume showed that causality, and everything else, was incapable of proof either a priori or a posteriori. It was unprovable a priori, because nothing was provable a priori. The only things true a priori were tautologies or definitions, and you don't prove either one. A proof starts from a definition, it does not end in one. And you can't prove (general) things a posteriori, because proofs from experience are always incomplete. It would require an infinite amount of data to prove something from experience. This argument is basically equivalent to Popper's argument against induction, and Godel's incompleteness theorem. And yes, they are all generally accepted and generally agreed to be conclusive. However, none of them prove anything themselves. Because you cannot prove that all lines are curves does not mean that all lines are not curves. You cannot prove that causality exists, but your inability to prove causality does not mean that causality is false. It just means you can't prove it one way or the other, by the definition of “prove.”
So Einstein was wrong. Causality has not been disproved. And because both sides of the cat problem were wrong on this one, they thought uncaused events were no real problem. They thought something like: “Hell, if causality has been disproved, we don't need to waste time with mechanics. Mechanics is the machine of cause and effect. No cause, no mechanics.” Physics was finished at that moment. Not finished as in “complete,” but finished as in “washed up.” Even Einstein and Schrödinger made no real attempt to supply the mechanics underneath these problems or underneath the math. They attempted to find a more rational theory to slide under the wave function, but they spent very little time trying to simplify the math and the mechanics down into a logical expression of cause and effect. Why would they when “no causality exists”? Einstein and Schrödinger had more scruples than the rest, but neither man had ever been scrupulous about mechanics. Einstein had allowed himself to let the math stand for the mechanics with General Relativity, and Schrodinger's wave equations, though superior to Heisenberg's, also existed with a total absence of mechanics. If Schrödinger's equations had contained a jot of mechanics, then this problem never would have raised its head.
Conclusion: we have witnessed another tempest in a teapot. As with the whole Peano-Frege-Russell-Gödel-Zermelo problem of set theory, this was a problem manufactured to give the academics something to do. As usual, they managed to spin it out in to a century of flapdoodle and major prizes. Instead of a one or two-page answer, we get several generations of “geniuses” entering the encyclopedia based on their “contributions” to this question, and hundreds of thousands of pages of commentary. Beneath this tempest lay the simple mechanics that explained both the data and the math: the quanta were spinning.

Vitamin D, also known as the sunshine vitamin, is getting a lot of attention in the health headlines lately. While it is most well known for its role in bone health and calcium absorption, it seems that new research is continually uncovering other links between this vitamin and a variety of health conditions. This can raise the question of whether it is necessary to supplement with Vitamin D, and if so, how much?

The name “Principiano” appears on the municipality of Serralunga di Alba land register dating back to 1700. Traditionally, the family has always taken care of their plots of land cultivating a mixed agriculture: it was only in 1993 that Ferdinando persuaded his father to convert all family’s holdings into vineyards, focusing on wine production as main activity. It was the era of Barolo’s Renaissance and although Ferdinando started by producing small quantities, the cellar space became too little very quickly.
As Ferdinando explains, leaving conventional viticulture has been a matter of taste rather than the embracing of some particular philosophy: “I could’t find the terroir in my wines anymore: I have been living here since I was born, I spent my youth roaming along our vineyards, experiencing flavors, fragrances, plants, and features of this land that I learned to memorize as an essential part of this land. At a certain point I noticed my wines didn’t express this specific identity, so I tried to intervene less in the vineyard as in the cellar and positive results came evident step by step”. From 2003 Ferdinando started working organically, and by 2006, all of Principiano’s vineyards are cultivated in respect of nature or – as Ferdinando would say – in respect of territory.

Magnetic susceptibility was measured on the sedimentary core, BDP-96-2 (100 m length), drilled at the Academician Ridge of Lake Baikal, central Siberia. The palaeomagnetic study has showed that the sediment core covers the past 2,500 kyr. The magnetic susceptibility of BDP-96-2 showed high value during glacial periods and low value during interglacial periods, therefore, the susceptibility can be considered to be a good proxy for palaeoclimate around Lake Baikal region.
Spectral analysis to the susceptibility showed that principal periodicity well corresponded to the Earth’s orbital cycles. Temporal changes in spectral power of principal periodicities showed a dominance of 100 kyr cycle since 1,200 kyr B.P. and an increase of 23 kyr cycle since 400 kyr B.P. The increase of 100 kyr cycle has been observed also in ODP records around 1200~700 kyr B.P. This variability in the periodicity is thought to be a reflection of change in the global climatic system related to the elevation of Himalayan Mountains. This study demonstrates that the signal of this global climatic change was also found in continental-interior region such as Lake Baikal. Whereas, the increase of 23 kyr precession cycle since 400 kyr B.P. is distinctive of Lake Baikal record. This suggests that local climatic system around Lake Baikal became highly sensitive to the solar insolation since 400 kyr B.P. | <urn:uuid:7c9b8d7f-3622-4985-9859-56c3f47ffd15> | CC-MAIN-2021-39 | http://ngs.org.np/variability-in-palaeoclimatic-periodicity-over-2500-kyr-from-magnetic-susceptibility-of-lake-baikal-sediments/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-39/segments/1631780053493.41/warc/CC-MAIN-20210916094919-20210916124919-00000.warc.gz | en | 0.893978 | 402 | 2.15625 | 2 |
Business insurance is an effective method of protection against potential financial loss. It’s a type of risk management, largely utilized to mitigate the threat of an unpredictable or unforeseeable loss. There are two basic types of business insurance policies business liability insurance and business property insurance. Each specializes in different types of risks and protectors, so it’s important to understand the ins and outs of each type of policy before deciding on which one best meets your company’s needs.
Probably the most obvious of these is business liability insurance. This policy protects a business owner from lawsuits in the event that a customer or client becomes injured while using or seeing his business, because of his or her negligence. Most liability policies also cover any employees who may be injured while on the property or working for the business owner. Business owners can purchase both general liability and professional liability insurance. Professional liability insurance is often required by states in order to provide certain public service jobs. For instance, plumbing contractors need to purchase this type of protection if they’re hired to work with water pipes.
Business property insurance protects a business owner from the possibility of losing everything he owns in the event of a fire, flood or theft. This type of business insurance protects against damage or loss resulting from vandalism, theft or explosions on the work-related property of the business. It’s also important for business owners to note that business insurance doesn’t cover workers’ compensation claims. Workers’ compensation is designed to help employees who have been injured while working on the business owner’s premises.
If you’re unsure which type of policy is right for your business, you should get business insurance quotes. You can get business insurance quotes from local insurance agencies, or you can go online to get business insurance quotes from multiple different agencies all at once. By getting business insurance quotes online, you can compare rates and coverage side-by-side from different companies. This makes finding the best coverage for your small business easier than ever before.
You should also put careful consideration into what kind of dangers your business might be exposed to. Remember that each type of insurance has its own unique benefits and drawbacks. For example, some insurance policies will cover losses at a certain location while others won’t. Also keep in mind that the price of the policy doesn’t necessarily reflect how much it will cover; rather, the price of the insurance premium reflects how risky the potential risks are for you.
There are plenty of legal requirements for businesses, including liability insurance. In the United States, businesses are required to purchase liability insurance. Liability insurance protects businesses from lawsuits that occur due to negligence or intentional misconduct. So whether you own a restaurant, doctor’s office, retail store, or any other business, it’s always smart to think about how you can protect yourself and your company. | <urn:uuid:e70fe718-a6f0-4680-8362-f5c41002d290> | CC-MAIN-2021-39 | http://niamaui.com/category/business-insurance/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-39/segments/1631780053493.41/warc/CC-MAIN-20210916094919-20210916124919-00000.warc.gz | en | 0.953378 | 585 | 2.015625 | 2 |
These are great options since you don’t need to activate the heating and cooling mode when the temperature isn’t too hot or too chilly. It may be that you have a ducted system that isn’t capable of cooling or heating your entire house properly. For example, a multi-zone setup works properly when your house has two or different floors. Another is when the home you live in is too old that installing ductwork isn’t an option. There are several conditions wherein a multi-zone ductless cooling and heating system is your greatest possibility. Additionally, if you want to be power-environment friendly, then a ductless system is a should. If you happen to desire a 4 zone mini split AC system and need to combine and match the BTUs on the evaporators, that is the system you’ll need.
The variety of indoor models will depend on the number of zones or rooms you want to cool or heat. You may also choose to add indoor units (depending on the maximum number of connectable models) to your outdoor compressor after you’ve put in just two indoor units. The worth is proportionate to the variety of indoor models needed to cool and heat your private home comfortably. The individual controllers may even allow you to turn off the heat or air conditioning in unoccupied rooms, which implies it can save you on the price of energy. This stated, in a particularly chilly climate, some mini-split AC units might heat as successfully or affordably as a fuel furnace. Why Is Proper Ductless Mini-Cut-up Sizing Crucial?
The typical value of a ductless HVAC mini-split ranges from $1,300 to $4,500, with a 12,000-BTU system costing roughly $2,000. What is A Multi-Zone Ductless HVAC System? If so, then a multi-zone ductless HVAC system is ideal for you. You may additionally end up in a situation where you and your loved ones repeatedly argue about temperature inconsistencies or what particular temperature your centralized HVAC system ought to keep on. Most of the heating and cooling points most households encounter are a direct trigger of the constraints that traditional and ducted HVAC programs have. Rated Capability: 12k BTU Cooling. Check out for Single Zone Mini Split an appliance that’s Power-star rated. Everyone deals with a couple of variations. This one reveals the best way to run the refrigeration line set via a hole in the wall and up into the attic, the place it’s out of sight. | <urn:uuid:e760ab01-40a2-4f2b-902d-1d2f9e243415> | CC-MAIN-2021-39 | http://noelsmoviereviews.com/seven-methods-twitter-destroyed-my-btu-mini-split/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-39/segments/1631780053493.41/warc/CC-MAIN-20210916094919-20210916124919-00000.warc.gz | en | 0.924246 | 536 | 1.664063 | 2 |

By Nicholas Harfield Manitoulin Expositor
The wind industry (represented in Canada by the Canadian Wind Energy Association, CanWEA) and our provincial government claim that industrial wind farms are a clean power source, that they provide an environmentally responsible way to stimulate the economy, and that they provide much needed financial aid for Ontario farmers. While these claims are partly true, there is a lot more we need to consider as an Island community before we accept industrial wind development on Manitoulin.
While some farmers in the province will receive payments for leasing their land to companies that install and operate Industrial Wind Turbines (IWTs), it is hardly fair to call this an assistance program for helping Ontario’s struggling farmers. Only a fraction of farmers in Ontario will receive any financial benefits from IWTs, lease agreements are not offered exclusively to farmers (any landowner is eligible), and many farmers are opposed to having IWTs adjacent to their properties. It would be more appropriately stated by CanWEA and our provincial government that eligible farmers may agree to receive lease payments in exchange for the use of their land in IWT installations.
It is important to note that locally, only about 50% of leaseholders signed on by Northland Power Incorporated (NPI) are farmers. These farmers are part of a well-respected and hard working farming community on the Island, and are very deserving of provincial assistance. I would fully support our provincial government helping farmers by ensuring they get fair payment for what they produce, or by improving farm subsidies. Farmers who sign lease agreements with companies like NPI are simply being compensated for the use of their land; they are not receiving handouts as the province and wind industry often imply.
Claims that wind farms, like the one proposed for McLean’s Mountain, are an environmentally responsible means to stimulate the economy are very misleading. Turbines are being manufactured overseas, and most of the jobs in Ontario will be short-lived construction related jobs. Very few staff are required to operate and maintain a wind farm, and most of the high paying jobs in the industry are held by a few centralized head offices.
Finally, there are the negative effects to the economies of rural Ontario that need to be considered: the economy of Manitoulin Island will be particularly hard hit if we allow the wind industry to get a foothold here because our economy relies heavily on financial input from seasonal residents and visitors. (I would like to note here that the two operational turbines in Spring Bay do not represent a foothold, and bear no semblance to the development being proposed for McLean’s Mountain.
Many of the wind farms that are in the very early stages of planning for other parts of the Island will also be far greater in scale than the installation of two small turbines in Spring Bay.) This issue is entirely overlooked in NPI’s application, and has yet to be adequately addressed despite the many legitimate concerns that our community has raised. The only way to properly determine the likely economic effects to the Island would be to have an independent third party prepare an economic impact study. Nothing even similar to an economic impact study has been completed to date, with NPI addressing economic impacts on only one page of their Environmental Screening Report.
NPI also denies that their project will cause property devaluation in our community. A recent report prepared by Michael S. McCann (a real estate appraiser) for Adams County, Illinois, USA, sheds some much-needed light on this issue. The report is available at www.windaction.org/documents/27736. In short McCann’s report reveals a 25-40% loss of value for residential properties within 2 miles of an IWT, with total loss of value in some cases.
Wind turbines are a clean power source in that, once operational, they do not emit greenhouse gases. (They are, however, sources of light and noise pollution, but I will not discuss the ecological and health issues of such in this article.) As opponents of the McLean’s Mountain Wind Project, we have been accused of ignoring the issue of global warming, and putting our own needs before those of the planet. To the contrary, many of us are pleased with the discussion NPI’s proposal has stimulated locally with regards to global warming. In fact, I would argue that a continued discussion of this pressing environmental issue is the only positive thing that NPI has brought to our community. We are now engaged in meaningful dialogue on how to reduce power consumption and incorporate alternative energies into practical energy solutions.
We are critics of industrial wind developments for many reasons, but a lack of concern for the environment and global warming is not one of them. We fully understand and appreciate the issue of human induced global warming. We feel that at such a critical point of human responsibility to the environment we should be acting very carefully, and not just re-acting so that we can pretend we are doing something (as I would suggest is the case for our provincial government and their Green Energy Act).
Let’s look a little deeper into the analysis of greenhouse gas emissions. Each turbine carries with it a massive ecological footprint in terms of carbon emissions and ecological impacts. Fossil fuels are used to mine the raw ore, process the metal, ship the metals to manufacturing plants, construct the parts, ship the parts to assembly plants, ship the larger parts to site locations, prepare the site, erect the turbines, maintain the equipment, build the new transmission lines, build the access roads, etc, etc, etc. (It is conceivable that ore mined in Ontario is shipped raw to China for smelting, shipped to Germany for parts manufacture, and shipped back to Ontario for parts assembly). All of this before a single watt of electricity has been produced. Contrast this process to energy conservation, which has little if any ecological footprint. This is why IWTs will never compare favourably with energy conservation as an environmentally responsible solution to our energy issues.
We should worry that some of the environmentally conscious members of our society have forgotten their commitment to conservation while jumping on the wind farm bandwagon.
Habitat destruction is still one of the greatest environmental problems we face because every natural area that we lose results in the loss of an enormous ecological service. An estimate prepared in 2007 by scientists from Conservation International, the Gund Institute for Ecological Economics, and the Global Environment Facility puts a global annual value of ecological services at $33 trillion. Part of this ecological service is combating global warming through carbon sequestration. Developing natural areas to install IWTs reduces the ability of that ecosystem to take carbon dioxide out of the air, and therefore help slow the process of global warming.
Part of the sales pitch used by our government and CanWEA to promote IWTs is that they will help reduce our reliance on fossil-fuel-based power generation, particularly coal plants. I firmly believe that our society needs to reduce it’s dependence on fossil fuels, however the model our province is using for developing industrial wind farms is not working, and will not work. Turbines can be an effective method of producing electricity on a smaller scale, for a single home, business, and maybe even a community. One of two things needs to happen for turbines to be effective, being that they either need to store the energy they produce in batteries so it can be discharged during peak demand, or we need to adapt our energy usage habits to use power when there is good wind speed. As an example, imagine that you have a small turbine to help power your home, so you run power tools or your washing machine when there is sufficient wind speed. Having giant farms of turbines randomly (i.e. whenever there is enough wind) pumping electricity into the grid is not a reasonable use of wind harnessing technology.
Consider this fact: in the one-hour period from 11am-12 pm on June 21stof this year, approximately 650 installed turbines in Ontario capable of producing almost 1100 MW of electricity were only producing 27 MW. Ontario’s demand was about 19,599 MW at that same time, meaning that under those conditions we would need about 471, 828 turbines to meet the province’s demand for electricity. This works out to one turbine for every 2.3 km2 across the entire province. These are very rough calculations, but they do illustrate the main reason that connecting IWTs to the grid is not a viable option for reducing our dependence on fossil-fuel-based power generation.
Of course no one is suggesting that we try to power the entire province on IWTs alone, but we would need to cover a huge portion of our province with wind farms to even slightly reduce our dependence on conventional forms of power generation. I do have to acknowledge that Ontario’s wind farms often produce more than 27 MW of electricity, with the provincial average over the past year coming in at 26% efficiency, or 282.1 MW produced out of 1100 MW installed capacity. To produce 19, 599 MW of electricity using a turbine efficiency of 26% would require one turbine for every 24 km2. Anyone who is interested in checking to see how Ontario’s wind farms are doing should visit www.ieso.ca.
There is a rapidly growing movement, both provincially and internationally, to stop industrial scale wind farms from being developed under the current model. There is also a strong movement to stop industrial wind farms on Manitoulin Island. Part of this opposition is related to the arguments I have made here. There are also legitimate concerns which include, but are not limited to, lack of information-sharing with adjacent landowners, lack of public consultation (including a lack of consultation with local First Nations communities), economic impacts, negative effects on human health, environmental impacts, property devaluation, loss of adjacent property owner rights, and alteration of groundwater quality and flow.
It is very likely that with a little more public opposition the McLean’s Mountain Wind Farm will be stopped. Now is the time to get involved with this movement. We need to continue voicing our concerns to our local and provincial governments. We also need to send a clear message to NPI that they are not welcome in our community. The only negative result of stopping this development will be the loss of potential revenue to our local farmers who have signed lease agreements with NPI. I strongly urge NPI to compensate these people for nvolving them in this corporate endeavour should we be successful in stopping their project.
Proponents of industrial scale wind developments, receiving much of their information via propaganda from CanWEA, continue to plead their case based on what is happening around the world. They speak of global wind-energy capacity growing rapidly over the last 15 years as if it is making a positive difference. They also give the impression that the rest of the western world has embraced industrial wind farms. Despite a great deal of campaigning by wind industry associations from around the world, their product is not globally accepted, and has yet to reduce the world’s reliance on fossil-fuel-based power generation or curb global carbon dioxide emissions. There is no scientific evidence from anywhere in the world that industrial wind turbines are making positive environmental changes, despite growing installed capacity and the “clean” energy they produce. The reason for this is that wind farms have massive ecological footprints, and IWTs are inefficient and unreliable sources of power, especially for the large-scale grids into which they are being incorporated.
I urge you to let our local and provincial politicians know that projects like the one proposed for McLean’s Mountain are not acceptable and that we demand a socially, environmentally, and economically viable solution for meeting our power needs. If you are interested in taking action, five great websites to get you started include: www.mcsea.ca, windconcernsontario.org, windvigilance.org, wind-watch.org, and windaction.org. Together we can protect Manitoulin Island from fallible government policy and questionable companies like Northland Power Inc. Industrial wind farms intermittently pumping electricity into a communal grid is not reducing our contribution to global warming, and is not reducing our dependence on fossil fuels.
Fortunately, there are alternatives to supporting the wind industry and an impractical government agenda. It is within the means and power of our community to engage in local, sustainable energy initiatives to reduce peak energy demand, cut overall energy needs, and produce socially, environmentally, and economically viable energy for a local grid. | <urn:uuid:5d6080f1-2187-42f6-b201-29d1464f0204> | CC-MAIN-2021-39 | http://ontario-wind-resistance.org/2010/09/03/canwea-claims-dont-stand-up-to-scrutiny/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-39/segments/1631780053493.41/warc/CC-MAIN-20210916094919-20210916124919-00000.warc.gz | en | 0.957131 | 2,551 | 2.25 | 2 |
Meteograms show the weather forecast for a specified position of the world for the next 10 days. They contain the following parameters: wind direction, wind speed, gust speed, air temperature, apparent temperature, air pressure, relative humidity, cloud cover, sun radiation and precipitation.
In contrast to the commonly known windchill the openportguide apparent temperature does not only take the air temperature and the wind speed into account, but also the air humidity and the direct and indirect sun radiation. The calculation is based on the work "Norms of Apparent Temperature in Australia" by Robert G. Steadman. Beyond the cooling effect of the wind it considers that the felt temperature is higher in the humide tropics than in the dry desert. It also considers that the felt temperature is higher in direct sun radiation than in the shadow below clouds.
A meteogram can be retrieved by the following URL:
All parameters have standard values in case they are not specified. The order of the parameters has no influence.
Parameters "lat" and "lon"
Standard values: "lat" = 0, "lon" = 0
Accepted values: "lat" -90 to 90, "lon" -180 to 360
For example Abu Dhabi, UAE: lat=24.48411&lon=54.36870
Standard value: "position" = deg
Accepted values: deg, DM, DMS
This parameter specifies the style of the position printed on the meteogram.
The following values can be chosen:
- deg = decimal degrees
- DM = degree minutes
- DMS = degree minute seconds
For example Jakarta, Indonesia:
Standard values: "digits" = 2
Accepted values: 0 to 8
This parameter specifies the decimal places of the position printed on the meteogram. This parameter only applicable if "position" is set "deg" or DM".
For example Syndey, Australia:
Standard value "label" = ""
Accepted values: All characters but not all special characters
This parameter specifies the name of the location printed on the meteogram.
There are limitations: Umlauts (Ä,Ö,Ü,ä,ö,ü) and some special characters such as "ß" can not be displayed. Also the beginning and end of the line will be cut if the line exceeds the width of the meteogram.

In 1995, when Dr. Michel Mayor and also Dr. Didier Queloz of the Geneva Observatory in Switzerland introduced their famous revelation of the incredibly initial documentation of a remote earth in track around a Sun-like superstar much past our personal Solar System, several researchers were actually perplexed. These monitorings showed that there was actually an extrasolar earth applicant as gigantic as our very own Solar System’s Jupiter (the biggest earth in our Sun’s loved ones), orbiting quite near its own multitude celebrity– 51 Pegasi. The brand new world, called 51 Pegasi b, lived a plain 4,300,000 kilometers coming from its own moms and dad celebrity, which is actually just a little portion of the range in between our very own Sun as well as Mercury– the closest world to our Sun. New concepts were actually fast formulated to detail the presence of this particular colossal oven. One idea advised that 51 Pegasi b really created far-off coming from its own moms and dad superstar similar to Jupiter’s normal splitting up coming from our Star, and after that dropped electricity– spiraling inner, probably to become eventually taken in, through its own furious moms and dad celebrity. In May 2013, stargazers discharged a brand new research study, making use of records coming from NASA’s very productive, though unlucky, Kepler Space Telescope, proposing that supposed warm Jupiters, like 51 Pegasi b (in spite of their star-hugging tracks) are actually sporadically gorged through their outstanding moms and dads. As an alternative, these shifting worlds stay in secure tracks for billions of years– up until the unavoidable carries out develop, and also they lastly dive right into their celebrities!
51 Pegasi b circle its own moms and dad superstar every 4.2 times. Having said that, existing concepts of worldly unit accumulation show that gigantic Jupiter-like worlds may merely be actually tolerated at a lot higher proximities coming from their moms and dad superstars. What is actually the massive 51 Peg b accomplishing this near to its own intense bunch superstar?
51 Peg is actually a “bordering” superstar, house a fairly tiny 42 light-years coming from our Solar System. In October, 1995, Dr. Geoffrey W. Marcy as well as Dr. R. Paul Butler, after that at San Francisco State University as well as the University of California, Berkeley, verified the Swiss staff’s historical revelation coming from the Lick Observatory’s three-meter ‘range positioned atop Mount Hamilton in California.
Depending on to this instead ugly circumstance, 51 Peg b was actually a single of numerous doomed earths birthed in the external locations of the hard drive. A lot of its own sis worlds nose-dived to an intense fatality inside the excellent heating system of 51 Peg. When it comes to 51 Peg b, nevertheless, good luck dominated, as well as the toasting earth was actually exempted the dreadful, intense fortune of its own sibling earths. The large world stopped working to collapse in to its own cannibalistic moms and dad superstar only in the scar of opportunity– as well as, today, it circles its own superstar, swiftly as well as close, toasting badly in its own infernal track.
The trouble was actually that fortunately induced common confusion in the substantial area. Exactly how could this massive scorching-hot earth possess created thus near to its own amuck firing moms and dad superstar? It goes without saying, 51 Peg b most likely cooks at over 1,800 levels Fahrenheit. This is actually very hot good enough to create it radiance reddish like a toaster oven roll.
An alternate idea mentioned that the oven had actually certainly been actually birthed at an equivalent span coming from its own superstar as Jupiter is actually coming from our Sun, yet it had actually little by little dropped power using communications along with the hard drive of gasoline as well as dirt where it surfaced. The doomed child world, as a result, spiraled internal in the direction of its own starving moms and dad celebrity coming from its own far-off, secure, as well as notably cooler birthplace.
The headlines was actually each poor and also really good. Fortunately was actually that people of one of the most necessary concerns in astrochemistry– undoubtedly some of the absolute most crucial inquiries of mankind overall– contended long final been actually responded to: Yes, there are actually earths orbiting superstars that resemble our personal Sun, as well as our very own Solar System is actually certainly not special in the Cosmic plan of traits.
If a whole production of earths in to the intense 51 Peg just before 51 Peg b happened walking throughout, an additional creation of earths might right now remain in the procedure of spiraling right into the heat energy coming from still even more cold and also small tracks.
This awful “fatality march of the earths” very likely calls for a handful of hundred many thousand years. The reality that a world could endure this mishap– a minimum of temporarily– probably relies, some stargazers detail, on just how overdue it started its own march to ruin.
New concepts were actually immediately designed through confused researchers to discuss the life of the huge, red-glowing, roasting planet that ought to certainly not be actually where it undoubtedly was actually. No person, nonetheless, understood whether the strange world had actually constantly been this near to its own superstar, and even what it was actually comprised of. Some thinkers proposed that the oven was actually practically one substantial sphere of liquified stone. Others recommended that the world– like our personal Jupiter– was actually a gasoline titan birthed regarding 100 opportunities even farther away coming from its own superstar, and also it was actually launched towards 51 Peg with a close to an obscure 2nd earth or even sis celebrity.
A Bizarre Variety Of Planets
Our Milky Way Galaxy is actually loaded to overruning along with a strange assortment of earths. Aside from the 8 primary earths house in our Sun’s household– Mercury, Venus, our Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, as well as Neptune– there are actually greater than 800 earths validated to become in track around various other celebrities.
“The warm Jupiters are actually creatures to manage. They are actually certainly not suitable nicely right into our versions as well as are actually much more unique than our team assumed. Our company are actually simply beginning to assemble the challenge items of what is actually occurring with these earths, and also our team still do not understand what the ultimate photo is going to be actually,” kept in mind Dr. Nikole Lewis in the May 11, 2013 Astrobiology.net. DOCTOR Lewis is actually of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in Cambridge, Massachusetts, in addition to the top writer of a newspaper posted in the Astrophysical Journal covering one instance of a very hot Jupiter– HAT-P-2b.
A leading extrasolar world seeker, Dr. Sara Seager, took note in the August 2013 problem of Sky & Telescope that “Despite their advantageous features for revelation and also follow-up research study, warm Jupiters are actually a reasonably uncommon form of earth. Analytical researches aim towards a situation of merely 0.5% to 1% every Sun-like celebrity. Considering that there is actually certainly not adequate component in planet-forming hard drives that close to a celebrity, stargazers do not presume warm Jupiters created at their existing sites. The scorching Jupiters more than likely created a lot a greater distance out as well as moved internal to their existing places.” DOCTOR Seager is actually a teacher of nomadic scientific research and also teacher of natural sciences at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.
Very hot Jupiters possess a higher possibility of transiting their superstars, that makes all of them fairly effortless to find due to the transportation and also branched rate strategies. Without a doubt, 51 Peg b was actually detected through stargazers making use of the branched speed procedure, which prefers the invention of huge earths in limited tracks around their celebrities. This method gauges a celebrity’s activity towards as well as out of Earth as it gravitationally reacts to a pulling world or even earths. This was actually the extremely 1st prosperous strategy stargazers utilized to detect extrasolar globes, and also greater than 400 of the affirmed extrasolar worlds were actually found out utilizing this strategy. The transportation approach, utilized due to the unfortunate Kepler goal as well as various other space-and ground-based ‘extents has actually located around 270 unusual globes through finding all of them as they transportation– or even intercross before– the intense face of their superstars. Kepler was actually released in 2009, and also its own major objective was actually to capture tiny Earth-size globes coming on front end of the face of their celebrities. Unfortunately, it ceased performing in May 2013, however still left a riches of records for stargazers to look at for many years to find.
Very hot Jupiters, likewise referred to as ovens (for noticeable causes), are actually fuel titans like Jupiter as well as Saturn, however they caress their celebrities quite carefully, essentially toasting coming from the warmth of their unflinching moms and dad celebrities.
Walking To Their Doom?
This research study might settle the enigma of what stops the ugly fatality march of the earths. Nevertheless, concerns still stay. As gasoline titan earths walk internal to their superstar, it is actually felt that they occasionally intimidate the tinier, stony worlds to ensure they scamper away from their bullying method. This will finish any kind of opportunity of lifestyle progressing on those much smaller, rough, as well as in cold blood displaced earths. Lifestyle in the world was actually fortunate– Jupiter kept distant coming from our Sun, as well as left our earth in life-loving tranquility!
“Eventually, all scorching Jupiters obtain closer and also closer to their celebrities, however in this particular research our team are actually revealing that this procedure ceases just before the superstars acquire very close. The worlds primarily support as soon as their tracks come to be round, whipping around their celebrities every handful of times,” Dr. Peter Plavchan detailed in a June 6, 2013 NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) Press Release. DOCTOR Plavchan is actually of NASA’s Exoplanet Science Institute at the California Institute of Technology (Caltech) in Pasadena, California.
To examine these as well as various other ideas, the stargazers analyzed 126 validated extrasolar earths as well as over 2,300 earth applicants. Many of the applicants as well as a few of the verified worlds were actually pinpointed through Kepler. The researchers thus checked out exactly how the worlds’ proximity coming from their moms and dad superstars differed relying on the mass of their celebrities. They found that the several ideas clarifying what standstills moving earths vary in their prophecies of just how the mass of a superstar determines the arena of the world. The “tidal powers” instance forecasted that the scorching Jupiter kids of even more gigantic moms and dad superstars would certainly cycle a greater distance out, usually. The brand new poll leads matched this “tidal pressures” idea as well as also disclosed even more of a relationship in between large celebrities as well as farther earthly tracks than anticipated.
“This concept primarily pointed out that the dirt street a world journeys at a time prior to the world drops right into the celebrity. A void types in between the celebrity and also the interior side of the dirty hard drive where the worlds are actually believed to quit their movement,” research study co-author Dr. Chris Bilinski described in the June 6, 2013 JPL Press Release. PHYSICIAN Bilinski is actually of the University of Arizona in Tucson.
When the moms and dad celebrity’s tidal pressures have actually lastly completed their work of circularizing its own track, the concept that this brand-new research locates to be actually proper suggests that a walking world stops.
The research study, posted in May 2013 in the Astrophysical Journal, is actually the initial to demonstrate how the strange warm Jupiters cut short in their monitors during the course of their unrelenting march in the direction of the heater of their moms and dad celebrities, as well as stop only except a horrible ruin– at the very least, for some time. Gravitational, or even tidal, powers of a moms and dad superstar offer to circularize and also support an inwardly moving earth’s track– and also when its own track finally ends up being rounded, it standstills in its own march.
“When a few very hot Jupiters were actually understood, many designs could possibly detail the reviews. Yet locating fads in populaces of these earths presents that trends, in blend along with gravitational troops through frequently hidden global as well as excellent friends, may deliver these large earths near to their lot superstars,” detailed Dr. Jack Lissauer in the June 6, 2013 JPL Press Release. DOCTOR Lissauer is actually a Kepler expert at NASA’s Ames Research Center in Moffet Field, California. He is actually certainly not aspect of the research study.
The research responds to some inquiries regarding exactly how these huge, unfavorable earths finish their fatigued, unfortunate march. There were actually a couple of various other ideas discussing this secret drifting around before the magazine of the May 2013 research study. One concept proposed that the moms and dad superstar’s magnetic field strength ceased the earths coming from walking forward to their ruin, only in the chip of opportunity. A 2nd idea, conversely, suggested that the earths dropped in their dreadful movement due to the fact that they arrived at completion of the messy roadway in the planet-birthing hard drive.
A research study discharged in May 2013, making use of records picked up coming from NASA’s Kepler purpose, signifies that scorching Jupiters, in spite of their star-hugging tracks, are actually certainly not eaten through their multitude superstars often. As an alternative, the ovens keep in area, within rather secure tracks, for billions of years. Unfortunately, the crucial time might nevertheless happen when they go to final eaten through their ugly moms and dad superstars. | <urn:uuid:01645665-6d6f-462c-9042-50341a65d2ce> | CC-MAIN-2021-39 | http://orain.info/tag/hot-jupiter-composition | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-39/segments/1631780053493.41/warc/CC-MAIN-20210916094919-20210916124919-00000.warc.gz | en | 0.967669 | 2,999 | 2.390625 | 2 |
Magnus Maximus, the Macsen Wledig of Welsh literature, was proclaimed Roman emperor in Britain in 383. The story of his rise to power is as fascinating as his reign. He was linked to the greatest figures of his time, including Martin of Tours, Ambrose of Milan, and Theodosius the Great. Indeed, his life can be understood only when it is set against the enormous changes that were affecting the empire in the fourth and fifth centuries.
Magnus Maximus is of far greater importance in the history of Britain than is usually recognized. Military service in Britain and marriage into a prominent Romano-British family established a link between Maximus and the island diocese that was to have enormous consequences. Despite his dramatic and squalid end in 388, Britain continued under an administration still loyal to his memory and his family until 398. Even later when Britain produced three more ‘usurpers’, two of these were closely related to Maximus.
For the past thirty years or more Magnus Maximus has been relegated to the realm of myth and legend. Here, however, the early history of England and Wales, with Maximus at its centre, is uncovered and the full story told.

It reads like a plot line from one of the National Lampoon movies…
“A team of uber nerds set out on cross-country road trip in an RV nicknamed after an urban assault vehicle, hell bent on convincing the government that they’ve discovered a way to make jet fuel from chicken fat.”
No, it’s not reality (TV), it’s actuality.
Two scientists from NASA’s Langley Research Center traveled 2,600 miles to meet up with other researchers at NASA’s Dryden Flight Research Center in California for an experiment with Hydrotreated Renewable Jet Fuel.
Researchers are testing the biofuel on a NASA DC-8 to measure its performance and emissions as part of the Alternative Aviation Fuel Experiment II, or AAFEX II.
“It’s made out of chicken fat, actually,” said Langley’s Bruce Anderson, AAFEX II project scientist. “The Air Force bought many thousands of gallons of this to burn in some of their jets and provided about 8,000 gallons (30,283 liters) to NASA for this experiment.”
These tests will assess exhaust emissions generated by modern turbine aircraft engines using a 50-50 mix of biofuel and regular jet fuel, biofuel only, and jet fuel only. With a goal of eventually flying all of its aircraft using 50 percent biofuel, the Air Force is very interested in finding a viable alternative to petroleum-based fuels. | <urn:uuid:ae654234-14f9-44eb-8799-b7d66d56062f> | CC-MAIN-2021-39 | http://positivetv.tv/news/nasa-investigates-chicken-fat-as-eco-friendly-jet-fuel/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-39/segments/1631780053493.41/warc/CC-MAIN-20210916094919-20210916124919-00000.warc.gz | en | 0.909509 | 309 | 2.8125 | 3 |
Will a pioneering project to reshape sand dunes that are home to a stronghold of fen orchids and other rare plants and invertebrates, protect or destroy the habitat?
Tearing up a four hectare area of a Special Area of Conservation and Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI) would usually be met with widespread condemnation.
But after 70 years Kenfig National Nature Reserve in South Wales has become over-stabilised and overgrown by vegetation such as marram grass, a far cry from its natural state.
“Although this habitat in general terms is nice, great to look at and species rich – it’s just a drop in the ocean on this particular site,” said Scott Hand, the countryside council officer for Kenfig.
“The new habitat produced by losing some existing habitat is considered a necessary risk and deemed ‘destructively constructive’.” | <urn:uuid:54d112c1-712b-477f-b18c-43b52a150fe3> | CC-MAIN-2021-39 | http://positivetv.tv/news/radical-dune-project-to-save-fen-orchids/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-39/segments/1631780053493.41/warc/CC-MAIN-20210916094919-20210916124919-00000.warc.gz | en | 0.927018 | 187 | 3.4375 | 3 |
Sremska Mitrovica (Sava 140 km)
Sremska Mitrovica (Serbian Cyrillic: Сремска Митровица, pronounced [srêːmskaː mîtroʋitsa]) is a city and the administrative center of the Srem District in the autonomous province of Vojvodina, Serbia. It is situated on the left bank of the Sava river. As of 2011, the city has a total population of 37,751 inhabitants, while the city administrative area has a population of 79,940 inhabitants. Once a capital of the Roman Empire during the Tetrarchy, the city was referred to as the glorious mother of cities.
Likewise, ten Roman Emperors were born in or near this city, Emperors Herennius Etruscus (251), Hostilian (251), Decius Traian (249-251), Claudius II (268-270), Quintillus (270), Aurelian (270-275), Probus (276-282), Maximianus Herculius (285-310), Constantius II (337-361) and Gratian (367-383).
Sremska Mitrovica is one of the oldest cities in Europe. Archaeologists have found a trace of organized human life dating from 5000 BC onwards. Ionian jewellery dating to 500BC was excavated in the city. When the Romans conquered the city in the 1st century BC, Sirmium already was a settlement with a long tradition. In the 1st century, Sirmium gained a status of a colony of the citizens of Rome, and became a very important military and strategic location in Pannonia province. The war expeditions of Roman emperors Traian, Marcus Aurelius, and Claudius II, were prepared in Sirmium.
In 103, Pannonia was split into two provinces: Pannonia Superior and Pannonia Inferior, and Sirmium became the capital city of the latter. In 296, Diocletian implemented a new territorial division of Pannonia. Instead of previous two provinces, there were four new provinces established in former territory of original Pannonia: Pannonia Prima, Pannonia Valeria, Pannonia Savia and Pannonia Secunda. Capital city of Pannonia Secunda was Sirmium.
In 293, with the establishment of tetrarchy, the Roman Empire was split into four parts; Sirmium became one of the four capital cities of the Empire, the other three being Augusta Treverorum, Mediolanum, and Nicomedia (modern Trier, Milan and Izmit). During the tetrarchy, Sirmium was the capital of emperor Galerius. With the establishment of praetorian prefectures in 318, the capital of the prefecture of Illyricum was Sirmium.
Beginning in the 4th century, the city was an important Christian centre, and was a seat of the Episcopate of Sirmium. Four Christian councils were held in Sirmium. At the end of the 4th century, Sirmium was brought under the sway of the Goths, and later, was again annexed to the Eastern Roman Empire. In 441, Sirmium was conquered by the Huns, and after this conquest, it remained for more than a century in the hands of various Germanic tribes, such were Eastern Goths and Gepids.
For a short time, Sirmium was the center of the Gepide State and the king Cunimund minted golden coins in it. After 567, Sirmium was again incorporated into Eastern Roman Empire. The city was conquered and destroyed by Avars in 582. This event marked the end of the period of late Antiquity in the history of Sirmium.
11 luxurious golden belts of Avar handicraft dating to the 6th century was excavated in the vicinity. | <urn:uuid:cbb01b74-2af3-4f21-ad6a-893bd9c147f0> | CC-MAIN-2021-39 | http://prvoparobrodsko.com/portfolio/sremskamitrovica/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-39/segments/1631780053493.41/warc/CC-MAIN-20210916094919-20210916124919-00000.warc.gz | en | 0.952197 | 838 | 2.84375 | 3 |

All About Free Government Grants
Each year the federal government awards approximately 0 billion in federal government grants. Unlike a personal or business loan, a federal government grant does not have to be repaid. There are no credit checks so individuals with less than favorable credit history can take advantages of the awards. Likewise, organizations with partners who may have undesirable credit may also apply. In addition, there is no need for collateral or a security deposit to be presented. United States residents and legal residents are eligible for federal government grant awards.
One of the largest recipient groups for federal government grant awards is women and minority owned businesses. There is over 1 billion dollars set aside each year to help a woman or minority owned business start up. Women businesses alone are allotted billion in federal government grant award money. In addition to this, money is set aside to be utilized by selected woman and minority applicants for educational purposes. This can include going back to school or enrolling in college for the first time.
The federal government grant awards are allocated for educational purposes as well. For the purposes of a college education, the Pell Grant and the Stafford Loans are available grant programs. The current allocation amount for these awards is approximately billion. The federal grant education program further breaks awards down into the undergraduate and graduate categories. This will entitle approximately 9 million people access to a higher education this year alone.
One of the keys to obtaining a federal government grant award is in the writing of the proposal or application. Leaving an application area blank or not filling it in completely could delay a grant application by a few weeks or more. Federal government grant awards are readily available to individuals and organizations. The only requirement is a little investment in time and research to find the grant program that suite the needs of an individual or organization in need of financial assistance. | <urn:uuid:3e307f38-48bb-4ab7-aaee-adf36c204d0e> | CC-MAIN-2021-39 | http://topgrant.net/149/all-about-free-government-grants/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-39/segments/1631780053493.41/warc/CC-MAIN-20210916094919-20210916124919-00000.warc.gz | en | 0.956373 | 360 | 2.390625 | 2 |
In the spring of 1991, the head of the UGCC, Myroslav Ivan Lubachivsky, returned to his seat in Lviv.
On March 30, we commemorate an event that was one of the symbols of the renewal and development of our Church in Ukraine after 45 years of persecution. It all started with the statement of 23 priests and faithful under the leadership of Bishop Pavel Vasylyk in 1987, the celebration of the 1000th anniversary of Baptism of Ukraine in 1988, the resumption of the Lviv Theological Seminary, the invalidation of resolutions of Lviv pseudosynod of 1946, and blessing and confirmation of the legal status of the UGCC by Pope John Paul II. The final chord was the return to Ukraine in 1991 of Cardinal Myroslav Ivan Lubachivsky, the Head of the Ukrainian Greek Catholic Church.
“I had the honor to accompany His Beatitude on this moving journey home, to be on the same plane, to interpret these events for a wider network of international journalists who were flying with us at the time. This media coverage was effectively provided by Sonya Glutkovska (Soutus) under the general direction of Father Ivan Datsko. It is difficult to forget or overestimate the importance of this historic moment. Cardinal Lubachivsky was returning home, to his faithful, and the Church in Ukraine and in the Diaspora was finally united,” said Archbishop and Metropolitan of Philadelphia Bishop Borys Gudziak.
After 53 years of migration, realizing the momentum for the Church, Cardinal asked God for strength to fulfill the hopes of the faithful. Patriarch Lubachivsky began to develop the basic structures of the Church: he founded the curia, established four new eparchies, ordained more than a hundred new priests, established relations with the Orthodox, paid great attention to education and youth, organizing catechetical training. In the social sphere, he resumed the work of Metropolitan Sheptytsky’s clinic and founded the international charity organization Caritas in Ukraine.
Myroslav Ivan Lubachivsky was born on June 24, 1914, in the town of Dolyna in the Ivano-Frankivsk region. After graduating from the Lviv Theological Academy, he studied at the Jesuit College Kanizianum in Innsbruck (Austria). He defended his doctoral dissertation on theology on the topic: “The struggle of St. Basil the Great with Arianism, expressed in his liturgy”. He has written a large number of papers, articles, manuals, and books. Three volumes of his sermons (1984-1990) were published by the Ukrainian Catholic University in Rome.
In May 1947, he went to the United States to care for Ukrainian Catholic immigrants in Philadelphia. He served in various parishes and was a spiritual director at Stamford and Washington seminaries.
On September 13, 1979, Pope John Paul II appointed Lubachuvsky Archbishop and Metropolitan of Philadelphia, and on November 12, 1979, together with the Patriarch Jofyf Slipyj and Metropolitan Maksym Hermanuk, he personally ordained him as a bishop in Sistine Chapel in Rome.
On March 27, 1980, after the Synod of Bishops of the UGCC, Lubachivsky was appointed coadjutor of the Major Archbishop with the right of succession. After the death of Josyf Cardinal Slipyj on September 7, 1984, he became the head of the UGCC. On May 25, 1985, he was appointed a member of the College of Cardinals. Died on December 14, 2000.

Here we are cold. And summer, with its warm, gentle sunshine, fun trip, hotels, swimming pools left behind. Unfortunately, recreational activities, often to go to nature, swim in the rivers or the sea — entertainment in season. Sit on the flats, don’t move, the street ran a dozen meters to the car or bus, well, a maximum, on what we need for the morning exercises…

Trapped in by the world’s strictest stay-at-home measures, Raunaq Singh, proprietor of a garments store in India’s capital of New Delhi, has started to fiddle with the country’s stock market. “I had been considering it in the previous scarcely any months, however, I had a bustling timetable,” said the 27-year-old, who split 160,000 rupees ($2,117) between a few stocks over the previous month. “There was no good opportunity than this to open a Demat and trading account.” Singh joins a league of laymen people over the globe who are considering going all in the financial markets as social-distancing rules keep them at home. About 1.2 million new Demat accounts were opened with the Central Depository Services (India) Ltd. in March and April, up from a joined 900,000 in the initial two months of the year, as indicated by information from the Mumbai based safe depository organization.
With risk assets like equities plunging to multi-year lows in March in view of the coronavirus pandemic, retail financial specialists universally detected a purchasing opportunity and packed into equities. India’s S&P BSE Sensex benchmark indices stay 26% underneath its January top, significantly in the wake of bouncing back from the recent significant stock market correction, making the valuations of stocks attractive. Valuations for the check have gotten less expensive, about a quarter underneath their three-year mean.
Is the Coronavirus Carnage Over on Dalal Street?; Is it Right Time to Start Buying & Stop Panicking in Falling Market?
As indicated by information discharged by a Mumbai based share depository company, about 1.2 million new share trading accounts have been opened with Central safe Services (India) Ltd. in March and April. While in January and February, the ordering accounts numbered only 9,00,000. The expansion in interest in financial exchanges during the Covid-19 Pandemic is additionally a pattern in numerous outside nations including the United States.
In the previous two months, as the economy endured because of lockdown actuated pressure, the costs of numerous stocks including equity plunged at very lower levels. After which numerous investors detecting the high vulnerability about the exhibition of the securities exchange, Sensex, and economy in the future due to Covid-19 danger chose to auction their stocks, particularly the risky assets and equity markets.
“Work-from-home has given individuals the transmission capacity to accomplish something that they haven’t done, and the quick value fall gives the observation that things are accessible for inexpensively,” Nithin Kamath, Chief Executive Officer of Zerodha Broking Ltd., the country’s greatest online discounted broker with 1.6 million customers.
Zerodha has seen month to month account openings twofold since February, with a 20% expansion in first-time real investors, for the most part under 30 years of age, he said. Upstox, another leading discounted broker in India, moved a lump of its procedures to cloud-based frameworks in April to adapt to the bounce in trading volume and new account openings, said Amit Lalan, an executive at RKSV Securities Pvt., which possesses the digital platform.
The pattern is happening in different markets also. In the United States E*Trade Financial Corp., TD Ameritrade Holding Corp., and Charles Schwab Corp. each observed new record account openings in the March quarter, driven by retail investors. In the Philippines, nearby investors are hopping in to ride what they expect will be a solid bounce back, even as remote assets escape. It’s a comparative story in Singapore, Zerodha has seen monthly account openings double since February, with a 20% increase in first-time investors, mostly under 30 years old, he said. Upstox, another discount broker, moved a chunk of its processes to cloud-based systems in April to cope with the jump in trading volume and account openings, said Amit Lalan, a director at RKSV Securities Pvt., which owns the digital platform.
The trend is playing out in other markets as well. In the U.S., E*Trade Financial Corp., TD Ameritrade Holding Corp., and Charles Schwab Corp. each saw record sign-ups in the March quarter, driven by retail investors. In the Philippines, local investors are jumping in to ride what they hope will be a strong rebound, even as foreign funds flee. It’s a similar story in Singapore, where relatively cheaper interest rates are tempting few retail investors to pile up on debt to purchase the shares.
It’s not all blushing, however. The fortitude of the convention in worldwide stocks stays in question in the midst of poor economic data, macro concerns, and fears of another flood of the infection. India’s Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman offered $72 billion in credit lines to independent companies and force merchants on Wednesday, as a major aspect of a bundle totaling $265 billion to restart the economy cratered by the pandemic. The legislature will burn through $20 billion to lift salaries for fishermen, migrant workers, and farmers, she declared on Friday.
The South Asian country of 1.3 billion individuals has recorded more than 1,00,000 Covid-19 cases up until this point, as per information gathered by Johns Hopkins University. The underlying three-week stay at home request got expanded for more two weeks, and is currently because of last until May 31, with some facilitating of limitations in specific divisions to support the monetary movement.
valuation of these stock costs checked extremely low to about a fourth of their three-year mean cost. The selling of the stocks at a modest cost pulled in substantial interests in them. What’s more, retail speculators fired purchasing and accumulating equities as the self-assured person impression of the great bouncing back of the market after the reviving of the economy framed among them.
On 14 May, Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman declared to offer $72 billion in credit lines to private companies and force merchants from the help bundle reported by the administration, which can additionally unite this great observation and acquire all the more new ventures the securities exchange.
The degree of the financial harm from the lockdown and its effect on corporate income aren’t completely evaluated in, Zerodha’s Kamath said. He expects the spike in new account openings to ebb once the effect gets clear. Not at all like in China, mother and-pop investors don’t hold a lot of influence over India’s $1.6 trillion securities exchange, which is overwhelmed by domestic and foreign institutional investors.
Numerous new retail investors recently joined in the securities exchange as the ‘Work from Home’ gave them an enormous space to search for opportunity in stock exchanging and wandering into it. Zerodha, the country’s greatest online discount broker saw an expansion of 20 percent in first-time retail investors as their customer, for the most part under 30 years old after their month to month account opening began to twofold since February as the accessibility of stocks at less expensive cost energized numerous to put resources into them.
In spite of the fact that the present energy of new investors in the securities exchange may descend after all the repercussions of lockdown on the economy gets completely determined which has not been done at this point and the future situation of the economy gets evident. | <urn:uuid:9431e2fe-b52a-4754-ad82-5343f93c2a39> | CC-MAIN-2021-39 | http://wolfofdalalstreet.com/2020/05/19/indias-lockdown-gives-birth-to-more-than-10-lakhs-new-stock-traders-amid-covid-19-pandemic/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-39/segments/1631780053493.41/warc/CC-MAIN-20210916094919-20210916124919-00000.warc.gz | en | 0.95755 | 1,550 | 1.617188 | 2 |

From December 2, 1848, Franz Joseph I was Emperor of the Austrian Empire and King of Bohemia, Apostolic King of Hungary.

On regular pages and posts, Google will most probably grab a piece of related content, including the keyword used in the search query. That makes a lot of sense for news sites, for example. Still, I recommend adding a meta description to all your important pages. If you have a long 1000 word page, 100 or so words of repeated information isn't a big deal. Content is a very important part of your website but it is far from the only on page factor that will affect how well your website performs. You need to place your lures where your fish hang out.
The untapped goldmine of meta tags
The five advertising goals of building image, providing information, being persuasive, supporting other marketing efforts, and encouraging action are not separate from each other. Is all Flash bad? Do your homework! The primary resources are all available here. Its as simple as your ABC's The latest Panda update has much the same purpose as the original - giving better rankings to websites that have useful and relevant content, and penalising sites that have "thin" content that offers little or no value to searchers. Many business owners create a website and find that they are receiving international inquiries about their services, or receiving orders from other countries. Although they expected their market would be local, or at best national.
What you should have asked your teachers about web portals
NAP stands for Name, Address and Phone Number. NAP is critical for businesses wanting to rank highly in local search results. Google cross-references your contact information across your own website, and local online directories in order to validate your company. Inconsistent information can be the reason your SEO is failing. Let's face it, a website that can't get its contact details right is more than likely not worth a visit. Hence, Google ranks these websites lower. You have to get your digital footprint right before you do anything else. Voice is consistently overtaking its own numbers, month after month. Mobile devices incorporate tracking features through a GPS, beacon, or NFC (near field communication) technologies designed to pinpoint a person's geographic location. There are many web spiders.
Learning about page impressions
Stock-photos are the worst. The output of the planning and strategy phase is the SEO plan. To protect it's product, Google suddenly released the Penguin update and several additional updates over the next two years. Gaz Hall, a Technical SEO from the UK, said: "User intent tells you (a business owner) what your audience is looking for. When you Google any keyword, there are set of suggestions which come while you are writing a search query. This acts as a hint that which keywords are most used and what is the intent of the user."
Apply these secret techniques to assist with analytics
Not all hosting types are created equal. A Take a butchers at Restaurant Beverley, for instance. common way to judge the reputation of a website is to check its Domain Authority (DA). DA is a score (on a 100-point scale) developed by Moz that predicts how well a website will rank on search engines. A
site's DA can grow over time, like a lifelong reputation. A backlink from a high DA website to your own is a strong indicator of your own authority on a topic. For instance, bbc.co.uk, a news site which is trusted the world over has a very high DA of 95. A backlink from a site like this would be powerful for your backlink profile. Although some elements are common to both SEO and SEM, PPC advertising is much easier to implement and can achieve immediate results, usually in the form of getting visitors to see your website in a matter of minutes. If so, you probably have enough justification to create a category page or subcategory page.These HTML elements may seem small and meaningless to the average online user, but any seasoned SEO wouldn't disregard the importance of them. | <urn:uuid:a81fbccd-7a31-4c1e-892f-67fe2e1212fe> | CC-MAIN-2021-39 | http://ww2.ari-jigoku.com/Apply-these-secret-techniques-to-assist-with-analytics-1552638512.html | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-39/segments/1631780053493.41/warc/CC-MAIN-20210916094919-20210916124919-00000.warc.gz | en | 0.945655 | 793 | 1.632813 | 2 |

DURHAM — A government grant will help a privately held Durham, New Hampshire, company develop a satellite-based mapping system to help determine best land use and conservation practices for farmers.
Applied Geosolutions LLC was awarded the $460,000 competitive grant through the Department of Agriculture’s Small Business Innovation Research program. William Salas, the company’s chief scientist and president, said the grant will lead to a mapping system that will be more precise and replace the expensive walk-the-land process currently in place for agricultural management.
“The USDA spends a ton on ground field surveys, and they can only cover a limited area on the ground,” said Salas, who formed AGS in 2000. The new satellite-mapping system will be designed to help farmers better understand and use conservation practices — and help organizations and governments understand which conservation programs are most effective.
Salas said AGS, which now has seven full-time employees who work on a global range of projects, offers scientifically sound cutting-edge geo-spatial technologies, biogeochemical models and integrated spatial information services. The cutting-edge sensing technologies are used to create greenhouse gas emission inventories, greenhouse gas emission mitigation studies, and water and air quality impacts of agricultural and forestry management.
Prior to starting AGS, Salas worked for five years at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory and for 10 years at Complex Systems Research Center at the University of New Hampshire. At the Jet Propulsion Laboratory, Salas was part of the team that mapped Venus using radar technology on the spaceship Magellan from 1990 to 1994.
The SBIR grant is the latest for AGS and the company said they have proven effective in developing innovative technologies. “The program has been absolutely critical to the growth of our business, as each award has blossomed into a sustainable business line,” said Stephen Hagen, a research scientist at the firm.
Salas said an earlier SBIR grant led to AGS creating an environmental and weather data tracking program for the National Institute of Health to do risk management assessments for increases in chronic illnesses such as asthma. “I would say the SBIR grants have been very useful to help us grow from a sole proprietorship to seven full-time employees,” Salas said. “It’s not free money. It’s a very competitive and fully reviewed process that promotes the development of new, innovative technologies that otherwise would not be possible for a wide range of individuals and companies.”
It’s possible that AGS could be one of the last companies to get an SBIR grant. Despite bipartisan support, Congress has failed to pass a long-term authorization of the program and it has been operating under short-term extensions since 2008. The program’s most recent extension was set to expire Sept. 30.
Sen. Jeanne Shaheen, D-N.H., is a leading SBIR advocate, and she said the lack of full SBIR authorization has made it difficult for small businesses such as AGS and federal agencies to engage in long-term planning. “By supporting innovation and entrepreneurship, SBIR awards like these help our small businesses create jobs, and they help our country compete in the global economy,” Shaheen said last month. “In these difficult economic times, I strongly urge Congress to pass a long-term SBIR authorization so that small companies can continue to take advantage of this critical program.”
Salas said AGS has seen significant growth in the past few years. It gets most of its funding for its work with a number of different types of private and public agencies on the federal, state and local levels. It recently completed a water quality and water management project for the California Rice Commission, which represents more than 2,500 rice producers in the state; collaborated on studies with the dairy and swine industries; worked with the government of the West African country of Guinea on deforestation issues; and with the University of New Hampshire on mapping urban sprawl to better understand transportation, job growth, environmental, and socioeconomic trends.
Salas said the company grew fairly slowly its first eight years but in the past two years it has expanded rapidly to meet demand, doubling its staff and revenues to more than $1 million.

PIERCE, NE — Northeast Nebraska first responders now have another tool to perform rescues.
The Pierce Fire Department recently added an airboat to its arsenal. After last year’s floods, Fire Chief Steve Dolesh says the airboat is a crucial tool.
“I think it’s imperative,” Dolesh said. “With Norfolk Fire having a connector boat, Pierce Fire having an airboat and the equipment between the two departments and a few of the departments around, I think we have northeast Nebraska for sure covered very well.”
Dolesh says first responders weren’t equipped for the volume of water rescues during the 2019 flood. Pierce Rescue turned to a citizen’s airboat to save five people in Pierce and four in the Hadar area.
Now, Dolesh says 10 people will be trained to pilot the department’s airboat.
“Everybody will be trained to operate the boat, everybody will go through a boat rescue class and a boat safety class before we make them a pilot,” Dolesh said.
Dolesh says the community rallied to fund the purchase of the boat. The department also bought ice rescue suits, dry suits and helmets.
“So I really believe that with all the departments involved, we’ve got the area covered very well for any type of water, ice rescue, anything of that nature,” Dolesh said.
Training with the airboat is underway on Willow Creek Reservoir and the Elkhorn River. | <urn:uuid:e8ac767d-551b-410c-8734-069eb9d979f9> | CC-MAIN-2021-39 | http://www.airboatafrika.com/use-airboats/search-rescue/pierce-firerescue/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-39/segments/1631780053493.41/warc/CC-MAIN-20210916094919-20210916124919-00000.warc.gz | en | 0.960633 | 335 | 1.960938 | 2 |

However, research has shown that some young children whose minds remain reasonably clear, may be able to spontaneously recall their past lives. Western psychoanalysts are now using methods of hypnotic regression to help patients with psychological problems, and some of these patients seem to be able to recall their past lives under such therapy. Monks with highly disciplined minds and who are able to enter into deep meditative states are also said to be able to recall their past lives. That would be a slightly selfish attitude to take.

People are supposed to die when they're old, not when they're still in their prime. Yet in 2011 so many of these athletes seem to have been snuffed out prematurely. Or were they?
Was I unduly influenced by reading the obituaries of five famous athletes who died in their 40s, four in their 30s, and four in their 20s? When they were born, they had life expectancies of just over 70 years. Today, life expectancy for newborns is 78. They shouldn't die so young.
So, in the spirit of one who has too much time on his hands, I set to work to test a hypothesis based on my reaction to the Sports Illustrated article: Athletes die younger than non-athletes.
This, of course, is a heretical notion. We all know that exercise and sports are good for soul and body. Well, testing benefits to the soul is a more difficult experiment than I can devise. But perhaps I can discern, through an elementary data analysis, whether famous athletes' bodies are at greater risk than those of us more sedentary types.
So I went through the Sports Illustrated list of farewells and eliminated the several non-athletes -- agents, writers and such. I did include coaches, because most coaches were active athletes in their previous lives. I was left with 60 famous athletes who died in 2011. And their ages. Their average age was calculated to be 62.5 years (median age: 65.0).
As I suspected, they were young. But how young? Well, for starters, much younger than life expectancy is now, and even much younger than their life expectancy was when they were born. But how much younger than, say, a similar-size cohort of other people? Say, famous non-athletes.
For this calculation, I went today to the online Times, which, had a list of just over 60 news obituaries -- those of people famous enough for the Times to have written an article about them when they died. The sample I used started with deaths on Dec. 13, 2011, and continued through this afternoon. After culling out several athletes on the list, I was left, coincidentally, with 60 people -- or, rather, former people.
The result? An average age at death for famous non-athletes of 81.3 years (median age: 82.0).
Not satisfied with just this one list, I found another compilation in the Times of famous people who died during the entire year 2011. After weeding out the athletes, I was left with 125 obituaries. The results: an identical average age of 81.3 years (median age: 84).
This is about 17 to 19 years longer than the athletes' age of death, depending on whether one uses average or median as the measure. Let's call it 18.
Famous non-athletes live almost two decades longer than famous athletes.
Almost two decades! That's mind-boggling. A small difference would be explainable as within the margin of error. But two decades? There must be some statistical significance.
The comparison is even more startling when comparing deaths by decades of their lives, as shown in the chart. In the four decades of their lives, from their 20s through their 50s, a total of 27 athletes died, compared with only two non-athletes. Or at the other end of the mortality spectrum, only two athletes survived until their 90s, compared with 17 non-athletes.
I titled this piece facetiously, or so I thought at the start. But maybe it isn't facetious. Perhaps sports at its highest level does come at a price. We now know the impact that contact sports have on hips, knees, shoulders, the back, and other parts of the body, and we also have recently been made aware of the surprisingly high rate of concussions in football and hockey. It's conceivable that there are yet further insults to the system that are the cost of becoming a world-class athlete. Years and years of extended practice and high-level competition may do damage to the body that diminish the famous athlete's lifespan.
In any event, my fingers are getting pretty exhausted from all this typing, so I've decided to stop now before I press my longevity luck.

These online stock trading tips will help you get started. Choose a good broker and trading platform. Your primary concern will be affected by the brokerage you choose.

This is especially important if you are using stock sets via parallel alternative organizations. Before accepting account rewards, make sure you read the terms and conditions. As an incentive to work with brokers, a lot of them will offer additional assets that you can exchange. They also have their disadvantages and advantages. Sometimes, rewards can help you secure your assets until you meet all the conditions.
You should stick with the stages that allow you to use a demo account before you face real danger. These accounts are based on real market conditions. It is possible to make a variety of speculations and see how they might turn out in real life. This is a great practice for financial backers. Demo accounts are the most valuable learning resources you have.
You should only trade with organizations you are familiar with. If you have a solid understanding of the market it serves and the products it makes, you will be more prepared to predict the value of the organization. People who are open to exploring other avenues about organizations they do not know much about are more likely to suffer from misfortune. Your level of hazard resilience is what you should be deciding. This is your ability to endure financial misfortune in both a monetary or enthusiastic sense. Knowing your level of hazard resilience can help you avoid making poor decisions or cutting off your benefits.

In this way, even if you lose an exchange, you’ll still have enough cash-flow to bounce back. These undertakings can be won only if you plan well and get more information. | <urn:uuid:46b3b67c-3669-4a87-b091-ba081198bf55> | CC-MAIN-2021-39 | http://www.billabonghotelmotel.com/2021/some-valuable-tips-for-novice-traders-on-online-stock-trading/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-39/segments/1631780053493.41/warc/CC-MAIN-20210916094919-20210916124919-00000.warc.gz | en | 0.958423 | 537 | 1.757813 | 2 |
Fonoteca Nacional and Biosphere Soundscapes are calling for participants for the inaugural residency in Sian Ka’an Biosphere Reserve in 2015.
As part of the Mexican Soundscape project, Fonoteca Nacional is working in collaboration with Biosphere Soundscapes to produce an artistic residence and interdisciplinary laboratory focusing on the creative and scientific possibilities of listening. Biosphere Soundscapes is designed to inspire communities across the world to listen to the environment and explore the value of sound as a measure for environmental health and ecological engagement in UNESCO Biosphere Reserves. The inaugural residency in Mexico will be centered on sonic exploration of the Sian Ka’an Biosphere Reserve in Quintana Roo, Mexico.
This residency is part of an educational program designed by Biosphere Soundscapes with a focus on collaboration, experimentation and exploration. This interdisciplinary learning laboratory will involve participants exploring the environment through sound, learning about the Sian Ka’an biosphere reserve and collaborating with a dynamic team at the intersection of art, science and technology.
This open call is aimed at artists, scientists, researchers and other professionals working with sound. Applicants should have an interest in acoustic ecology, bioacoustics, field recording or other fields working with environmental sound.

Entertain conjecture of a remarkable scenario. An American president – born at the margins of society, raised by a pacifist mother – takes office at a time of national turmoil. He inherits a deeply unpopular, highly divisive war from his predecessor and must also deal with a burgeoning, worldwide financial crisis. Yet despite the fractured, fractious political atmosphere, he doesn't dither, doesn't waffle, but immediately launches the most far-reaching program of government activism in half a century.
He doesn't "freeze" domestic spending but greatly expands funding of government benefit programs, and even creates new ones, including direct payments from the general treasury to the poor and needy, in addition to the now-increased Social Security and Medicare funds. He creates new government agencies to rigorously enforce new, sweeping environmental measures. He oversees the most direct and extensive federal intervention in public education in the nation's history, forcibly moving millions of students to different schools in order to impose more equality in society. Denouncing the punitive criminal justice policies of the past, he initiates major prison reforms, creating and expanding rehabilitation programs, stating that "to reform our prisons, we need more teachers, parole officers, psychiatrists, social workers and dollars."
He increases direct government oversight of private businesses, with new agencies to ensure workplace health and safety. He proposes radical reforms in health care, including an initiative that would require employers to provide insurance for their workers while also creating a national insurance program that all could join at whatever level they could afford to pay. He supports "radical feminists" in their push for a constitutional amendment to enforce equal rights for women throughout society.
In response to the financial crisis, he doesn't seek to save the current order but takes unilateral action to completely revamp the global financial structure that had been in place for decades. Perhaps astonishing of all, he even takes direct control of the core operations of the nation's most powerful corporations, dictating the wages they can pay and the prices they can set. As one stunned commentator puts it, the president is carrying out "the largest peacetime intrusion of government in the economy in American history, surpassing even the dreams of the New Dealers."
In foreign policy, after launching several controversial "surges," he does, belatedly, end the unpopular war he inherited. What's more, despite virulent opposition from several quarters, including many in his own party, he astounds the world by openly seeking rapprochement with sworn enemies of the United States – forces dedicated to a fundamentalist ideology whose avowed goal is the destruction of the American way of life and the imposition of their ideology on the entire world. Yet the president not only calls for dialogue and negotiation with these enemies, he even goes to meet their leaders, treats them with respect and public honor, feasts with them, negotiates with them.
A strange, even hallucinatory scenario, to be sure. But we haven't even gotten to the weirdest part. Imagine a president who does all these things – surpassing Franklin Roosevelt in government activism; slapping restraints on major corporations; providing vast new funding for the poor, the sick, for prisoners, for the environment; imposing social equality by force; seeking to nationalize health care; meeting and treating with the nation's enemies – yet is not regarded as a commie, a radical, a socialist, a progressive, a liberal, or even a "centrist," but as one of the most rock-ribbed conservatives of his day. Indeed, for many people, he is the arch-conservative of the age, a retrograde, reactionary figure, the embodiment of all that stands in the way of progress.
Yes, the presidential history of Richard M. Nixon paints a striking, even shocking contrast to the prevailing political weather today. It shows, with stark power, how very far the center of political gravity has shifted in the past 36 years. For Nixon was a rock-ribbed conservative by the standards of his day; yet compared to the timorous, time-serving "progressive" now in the White House, Nixon looks like Eugene Debs.
Even Nixon's downfall provides an instructive – and dispiriting – contrast to our day. Done in for covering up a little break-in at his opponent's headquarters? For this the entire machinery of government was convulsed, great investigatory panels convoked, grand jury indictments handed down, a sitting president impeached by the House? It's like some tale from antiquity, or maybe a work of science fiction, especially in our modern world, where the most outrageous crimes – warrantless surveillance, torture, indefinite detention, assassinations – are carried out and countenanced by presidents in broad daylight, with barely a hint of controversy … and no thought whatsoever that they might be answerable for these misdeeds.
Of course Nixon was, despite his famous protestations, a "crook" (and war criminal) of the highest order. He was also very much one of the Founding Fathers of our modern American Post-Republic; indeed, it was Nixon who crafted the one-line constitution that now governs our state: "If the president does it, it's not illegal." I've dealt at length with his perfidy in these pages and elsewhere over the years. (See here, here, and here for examples.)
But looking back at some of the actual policies he had the brass to carry out and/or advocate, (whether from conviction or cynical opportunism doesn't matter; we're looking at deeds here, not intentions or style), many of which were actually designed to address genuine problems and imbalances in society and decrease tensions around the world, one cannot but conclude that, in some ways at least, we used to get a slightly higher grade of mass-murdering war criminal in office back in those long-departed days. | <urn:uuid:9c37fa7d-8a9c-4bda-8093-f134a7fc6490> | CC-MAIN-2021-39 | http://www.chris-floyd.com/home/articles/american-history-101-we-are-devo-29012010.html | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-39/segments/1631780053493.41/warc/CC-MAIN-20210916094919-20210916124919-00000.warc.gz | en | 0.962578 | 1,193 | 2.359375 | 2 |
The American war against Libya grew in intensity on Sunday, raining death in all directions -- including on civilian vehicles and Libyan forces in full retreat. Behind the full-scale barrage launched by the Nobel Peace Prize Laureate, the armed opposition led by recent henchmen of Moamar Gadafy pressed forward in a military offensive. Libyan soldiers were gunned down as they fled -- a reprise of the "turkey shoot" American forces conducted on retreating Iraqis back in the first glorious Gulf War.
(But weren't they supposed to retreat? Wasn't that the purpose of the UN directive? Oh, it's so confusing!)
Here's what happened today, following yesterday's hell-storm of 110 Tomahawk missiles:
American warplanes became more involved on Sunday, with B-2 stealth bombers, F-16 and F-15 fighter jets and Harrier attack jets flown by the Marine Corps striking at Libyan ground forces, air defenses and airfields, while Navy electronic warplanes, EA-18G Growlers, jammed Libyan radar and communications ...
Rebel forces ... began to regroup in the east as allied warplanes destroyed dozens of government armored vehicles near the rebel capital, Benghazi, leaving a field of burned wreckage along the coastal road to the city. By nightfall, the rebels had pressed almost 40 miles back west...
For miles leading south, the roadsides were littered with burned trucks and burned civilian cars. In some places battle tanks had simply been abandoned, intact, as their crews fled. ... To the south, though, many had been hit as they headed away from the city in a headlong dash for escape on the long road leading to a distant Tripoli.
In other words, the "no-fly zone" supposedly imposed to stop the fighting in Libya and secure the safety of its civilians morphed very quickly into what it was always intended to be: a military intervention on behalf of one side of a civil war, leading to more war -- and to many, many more civilian casualties.
Let us put it as plainly as possible: Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton and Nicolas Sarkozy and the ludicrous upper-class twit called David Cameron do not give one good goddamn about the "security and freedom" of the Libyan people. They simply do not. They care about one thing only: imposing the domination of their monied, militarized elites.
Or as Alexis de Tocqueville put it following his tour of the society that Europeans had imposed -- with great savagery and deceit -- in America:
"The European is to other races of men what man in general is to animate nature. When he cannot bend them to his use or make them serve his self-interests, he destroys them and makes them vanish little by little before him."
It seems that the hapless Arab League -- whose call for a no-fly zone in Libya gave the perfect cover for the new Western war -- have belatedly recognized the truth of de Tocqueville's insight. They are now decrying the berserker frenzy of the Western forces; it was not what they had in mind at all:
The Arab League chief said on Sunday that Arabs did not want military strikes by Western powers that hit civilians when the League called for a no-fly zone over Libya.
In comments carried by Egypt's official state news agency, Secretary-General Amr Moussa also said he was calling for an emergency Arab League meeting to discuss the situation in the Arab world and particularly Libya.
"What is happening in Libya differs from the aim of imposing a no-fly zone, and what we want is the protection of civilians and not the bombardment of more civilians," he said.
Support for Gadafy himself was virtually non-existent in the Arab world -- but unlike the spoon-fed, misinformed, incurious TV-gawkers back in the United States, the people of the region recognized full well the true nature and intentions of the onslaught:
The overthrow of Mubarak in Egypt and Tunisia's Zine al Abidine bin Ali -- as well as mass protests against leaders in Yemen and Bahrain -- have restored a dormant Arab pride which was crushed by decades of autocracy and foreign intervention.
But many people in the Arab world, while anxious to see the end of Gadhafi's rule, felt that the resort to Western military action has tarnished Libya's revolution.
"Who will accept that foreign countries attack an Arab country? This is something shameful," said Yemeni rights activist Bashir Othman.
Support for military action was also muted by deep-seated suspicions that the West is more concerned with securing access to Arab oil supplies than supporting Arab aspirations.
"They are hitting Libya because of the oil, not to protect the Libyans," said Ali al-Jassem, 53, in the village of Sitra in Bahrain, where protests by the Shi'ite Muslim majority against the Sunni ruling Al-Khalifa family have triggered military reinforcement by neighboring Gulf Arab forces.
A spokesman for Bahrain's largest Shi'ite opposition party Wefaq questioned why the West was intervening against Gadhafi while it allowed oil-producing allies to support a crackdown on protesters in Bahrain in which 11 people have been killed.
"We think what is happening in Bahrain is no different to what was happening in Libya," Ibrahim Mattar said. "Bahrain is very small so the deaths are significant for a country where Bahrainis are only 600,000."
Yet on the same day the Peace Laureate was drawing his first blood in Libya with his Zeus-like hurtling of a hundred and ten thunderbolts, his Secretary of State was publicly supporting the Saudi incursion into Bahrain, which enabled the murderous crackdown there. At the same time, American officials admitted that they did, in fact, know of the Saudi incursion in advance -- despite their heartsworn denials just a few days ago.
Again: Obama, Clinton, Sarkozy and Cameron do not give a damn about the killing of unarmed protestors in Bahrain -- any more than they give a damn about the killing of protestors, armed or unarmed, in Libya. It suits their current purposes to wage war in Libya, and so they wage war in Libya. It suits their current purposes to stand with one of the most oppressive and extremist regimes on earth to suppress, with deadly force, the yearning for democracy in Bahrain; so that's what they do.
The Peace Laureate and the bipartisan war-lovers in the American political and media elite tell us over and over that the assault on Libya is a "humanitarian intervention" aimed solely at "protecting the Libyan people." Yet at the same time, the ever-bellicose but often brutally frank Clinton states plainly, in public: "a final result of any negotiations would have to be the decision by Colonel Gadhafi to leave.”
How much plainer can it be? It is not a humanitarian intervention; it is a military operation to impose regime change -- which is, needless to say, patently illegal under the international laws which the US and the UN say they are upholding. But who cares about that?
The fact that anyone takes anything these compulsive, demonstrable liars say at face value, even for a micro-second, is one of the great mysteries of our age. Yet how many oceans of newsprint, how many blizzards of pixels have already been spent in earnest disquisitions on the serious import of their statements!
Then again, there is nothing novel about this muderous absurdity, as Arthur Silber reminds us in his latest incendiary work of outrage and insight:
There isn't any "news" in these latest events. Another day, another set of war crimes. Where's the news in that? That's what the United States does now, as it has regularly and systematically for over a century. Wait, that's not right: as it has since before it even became the United States. But hell, you don't want to think about any of that too deeply or too long. If you did, how could you continue with your lamentations about the "death" of the once-noble United States and its "true" values? What are the "true" values of a nation founded and developed in very significant part on not one, but two, genocides that lasted for centuries?
Silber has much more to say; read it all -- and the links as well. (And give him any financial support you can while you are there; he continues to be one of the brightest, deepest lights we have, even as he battles excruciating -- and expensive -- health problems.)
You can also find more insight into the deep roots of our current predicament in a remarkable book by Paul VanDevelder: Savages and Scoundrels: The Untold Story of America's Road to Empire through Indian Territory. While the book is filled with little-known historical detail about the vast legacy of deceit and destruction in the forging of the American Empire, VanDevelder also looks deeper into history for the antecedents of the bloody actions we see across the world today. For example, he points out that "laws" used by our interventionists to justify their profitable carnage are secularized versions of the arbitrarily declared papal laws and edicts which lay behind --- what else? -- the Crusades.
VanDevelder outlines the thinking of the instigator of the Crusades, Pope Innocent III, who sought ways to "legitimize" the seizure of "the property and estate of pagans, savages and infidels" -- the land-grabbing and looting which were the essence of the Crusades. He found it in the amorphous idea of "natural law" -- whose precepts were, of course, determined by the divinely directed Church.
In his encyclical Quod super his, Innocent "had given his successors the tools with which to secure and enforce the papacy's authority over all secular powers, [Christian or pagan]. ... The pope was empowered by a universal right, one recognized in natural law, to enforce the union of Christian civilization with that of the infidel races..."
"Consequently," VanDevelder writes, "the pope not only had jurisdiction over the wandering infidels, he was also duty-bound to intervene in situations where those infidels were found to be in violation of natural and divine laws." And of course, failure to surrender to Christianity -- and its militarized elites -- was an egregious violation of "natural and divine law," punishable by death, decimation and destruction.
Building on this, Church doctine later declared that the pope had a duty to "deny that infidels had any valid legal right to own property and rule over their own lands." They could only do so on sufferance from the power that held "universal jurisdiction" over world affairs. Pope Eugenius IV "decreed that the pope could intervene in the internal affairs of foreign lands as the guardian of the wayward souls who lived there."
Reformation powers like Elizabthean England secularized these notions to justify their own conquests. As VanDevelder notes, both crown advocates and Protestant clergymen advanced the notion that "'the just quest by the sword' of savage pagans in foreign lands was the solemn duty of civilized people. ... Where the English were concerned, justifying the conquest of foreign lands was a simple matter of replacing hieratic authority with the secular crown. Lord Coke bundled all these arguments into one by telling King James I that his foremost responsibility as king was to subjugate the savages to civilized laws of natural justice and equity."
After the Revolution, the American elites adopted these by-now ancient -- and arbitrary -- principles of domination. They took on the mantle of "universal jurisdiction" -- i.e., the right to determine "the right way of life for mankind," as Innocent III had put it -- along with the solemn duty to impose civilization, by force if necessary, on all the wayward savages who lack it -- or even worse, refuse it. The end result, of course, was a relentless record of deceit (every single treaty signed with sovereign Indian nations in the course of the 18th and 19th centuries was broken), rapine and ethnic cleansing.
Today this militarized "universal jurisdiction" which sprang from the ambitions of the Crusader Pope has passed, nominally, to the United Nations (although as we have seen in recent years, our American elites still consider themselves to be the true possessors of this "right," and will eagerly use it unilaterally whenever the UN proves recalcitrant). Substitute "the will of the international community" for "Christianity" and so on, and you need hardly change a word from the historical documents reaching back centuries.
But from the horrendous atrocities of the First Crusade to the computerized carnage being wrought in Libya today, the noble rhetoric of freedom, enlightenment, protection and liberation has masked base self-interest, murderous racism, bottomless corruption, outrageous deceit and wanton destruction. As Silber notes, what we are seeing today is nothing new; it is just another deep, dirty, self-inflicted wound to the human spirit. | <urn:uuid:2af3580b-bb8a-478b-9072-dd94260754d9> | CC-MAIN-2021-39 | http://www.chris-floyd.com/home/articles/ancient-poison-bears-new-fruit-western-frenzy-grows-in-libya-21032011.html | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-39/segments/1631780053493.41/warc/CC-MAIN-20210916094919-20210916124919-00000.warc.gz | en | 0.966772 | 2,707 | 1.515625 | 2 |

Tooth loss can occur for various reasons including neglecting your teeth and gums with a poor diet and improper oral hygiene. Athletes are more prone to lose teeth, as well, because they experience increased trauma and contact the mouth. When tooth loss occurs, it can also have a substantial impact on a person’s self-esteem due to the aesthetic implications.
A shift in your teeth can cause your teeth to become crooked, and gapped, creating an older appearance. The consequences of poor dental health can make it difficult to eat our favorite foods and even speak, causing embarrassment and frustration. Dental implants are natural in appearance, allowing others to only notice your beautiful, natural smile. With help from Dr. Marc Dyer in Elizabethtown, dental implants can restore your smile.
Understanding the Advantages of Dental Implants from Elizabethtown Dentist, Dr. Dyer
If you, like millions of adults, have lost one or more teeth, then you understand the unpleasant consequences that accompany tooth loss. Missing teeth result in an older appearance, discomfort, inconvenience and an overall less productive lifestyle.
Since dental implants are securely attached, you gain confidence to eat what you like, speak clearly and freedom from embarrassment. Other benefits of implants include:
- Improved Appearance: Dental implants look and feel just like your own teeth.
- Improved Comfort: Dental Implants are securely anchored, so there is no slipping as there is with dentures. This eliminates some of the key inconveniences of dentures, including poor fit, gum irritation, and pain.
- Improved Health: Dental implants can help prevent deterioration of the jawbone caused by loss of teeth, so your face retains its natural shape.
- Durability: Dental Implants are strong and can last a lifetime with proper care.
- Convenience: Unlike dentures, dental implants are permanent, eliminating the inconvenience of removing your dentures. With dental implants, you can brush and care for your teeth just as you would your natural teeth.
Dr. Dyer Shares: Proper Nutrition and Diet Help Save Your Teeth
It is extremely important to watch what you eat, as it helps in the maintenance of your teeth and in disease prevention. Ongoing research indicates that antioxidants and other nutrients found in fruits, vegetables and nuts may strengthen immunity and improve your body’s ability to fight bacteria and inflammation, which can help protect the teeth and gums. Follow these tips on maintaining proper nutrition and keeping your smile:
- Calcium and vitamin D supplements decrease the risk for tooth loss in the elderly.
- Antioxidant vitamins such as vitamin C, and other nutrients from fruits and vegetables help protect gums and other tissues from cell damage and bacterial infection.
- Folic acid promotes healthy mouths and supports cell growth.
- Eating sugary carbohydrate-rich foods as part of a balanced meal is better than eating them alone.
- Foods that take a long time to chew can damage teeth.
- Cheese unleashes a burst of calcium that mixes with plaque and sticks to the teeth, which protects your teeth from acids that cause decay.
If you’ve lost one or more of your natural teeth, it’s possible to continue to live confidently with dental implants from your dentist in Elizabethtown, Dr. Marc Dyer. Dental implants look and feel exactly like your natural teeth, and unlike conventional restoration solutions, implants can last a lifetime.

Is miso soup good for you? Before answering, you should know what it is. Miso is created from cooked soybeans and grains that have been fermented with healthy bacteria. In the Chinese cuisine history, miso soup has been around as far back as 800 B.C. Its unique flavor has been enjoyed by many, plus it offers individuals a plethora of health benefits.
Is Miso Soup Good for You?
The answer is YES! So why? First, it contains plenty of vitamins, minerals and nutrients. It is a great source of vitamins such as niacin, folate, riboflavin, vitamin B6, vitamin K, and vitamin B12. It also contains plenty of minerals like zinc, calcium, sodium, iron, phosphorus, magnesium and potassium. Miso is full of beneficial nutrients including protein, fiber, carbohydrates, water, genistein, isoflavones and daidzein, as well as healthy fatty acids.
Researchers have found an abundance of evidence that supports eating miso soup provides numerous health benefits. These benefits include:
Reduces Chances of Cancer
Studies have uncovered evidence that eating miso soup on a regular basis can help prevent colorectal cancer, liver cancer, breast cancer and hepatocellular carcinoma. It is believed that its high soy content is part of the reason for its capability to risk cancer.
A strong immune system goes a long way in the fight against illness. A body in a weakened state is more susceptible to germs, bacteria and viruses. Miso soup provides an alkalizing effect with helping your body fight infections. One bowl helps you keep diseases away.
Miso soup contains soybean, which is a natural anti-aging component. It provides the power of antioxidants and promotes healthy skin without the harsh side effects of other skin products. Remember it is not only what you put on your skin that helps, it is also what you eat.

After decades of arguments for and against ladies’s suffrage, Congress finally passed the nineteenth Amendment in 1919.

While some have held that this program used illegal sterilizations, Briggs argues that the ladies, with their newly found freedom within the working world, now not needed to stay bogged down by unplanned/unwanted pregnancies. By additional statement, Puerto Rico being an American colony allowed it to advance the rights for ladies, such as the best to vote and attend faculty.
In Puerto Rico, fertility control developed under colonialism within the early twentieth century, after the Caribbean archipelago had been seized by the United States in the Spanish-American War of 1898. The colonial governments in Puerto Rico and the contiguous U.S. had been filled with people who believed these philosophies, and the archipelago was deemed overpopulated, specifically by a citizenry of impoverished and thus “inferior” Black and brown individuals. To remedy the alleged problem, authorities officers instituted policies that, among different things, lowered births through sterilization.
Over the course of three decades, the colonial authorities, beneath the Puerto Rican Eugenics Board, additionally ordered the sterilization of 97 people, including many who had been disabled. When contraception tablets hit the U.S. market in 1960, it heralded a new age of sexual autonomy for girls. “Freedom in a pill,” as it’s been called, liberated ladies from turning into pregnant when they did not need to and gave them more management over their reproductive selections. But in Puerto Rico, the place girls have been used as topics for birth control trials and impelled to bear sterilization, the emancipating drug also carries a historical past of coercion and is emblematic of Puerto Rican girls’s enduring wrestle for reproductive freedom.

It’s small in comparison with many other Latin American nations where the quantity is four or 5. The birthrate decreased greater than forty % in the past 20 years in the Latin American and Caribbean space. It contrasts with African nations the place the population is increasing. Puerto Rico, the identical as Cuba, exhibits a really low common number of youngsters that one woman would have in her life, 2.2 ( ). The fee of use of contraceptive methods by married ladies of childbearing age, is 70% ( ) and the same as Argentina and Cuba.

After a yr of checks, Dr. Rice-Wray reported good news to Pincus. She also informed him that 17% of the ladies within the study complained of nausea, dizziness, headaches, abdomen pain and vomiting.

This give attention to girls could also be partly defined by the maker’s own feminist politics.
Type Of Puerto Rico Women
The island, a U.S. territory, was one of the most densely populated areas on the earth, and officers supported contraception as a form of population control within the hopes that it would stem Puerto Rico’s endemic poverty.

The increased sterilization of Puerto Ricans turns into increasingly necessary as the U.S. industrial plans for the island -plans which revenue U.S. corporations, and do not construct a future for the inhabitants of Puerto Rico -develop. This turns into clearer as we proceed to explore the ramifications of the report « Opportunities for Employment, Education & Training. » Puerto Rico’s colonial standing gives the United States the power to carry on efficient population management programs on the earth. Hospitals in Puerto Rico are substantially financed by the United States authorities.
During Operation Bootstrap, the question of the Puerto Rican birthrate remained a public policy issue. Governor Muñoz feared that the plan for industrial modernization could be in jeopardy if he did not take steps to cope with the overpopulation problem. Thus, the administration set about educating the population about birth control, and encouraging surgical sterilization. In different situations, the local government fostered the migration of Puerto Ricans to the U.S. mainland and abroad possessions similar to Hawaii. These measures were extremely criticized by civil rights groups and the Catholic Church, who perceived this campaign as an unwarranted attempt to restrict individuals reproductive rights. In addition, candidates who were difficult the sitting authorities denounced the discriminatory nature of these public insurance policies. This policy, though seemingly based on scientific principles, was based on a set of stereotypes about Puerto Ricans that characterised them as racially inferior and unable to make their very own selections about their fertility.
The incidence of sterilization in Puerto Rico is the highest on the planet. India and Pakistan, for example, which have public sterilization applications, have an estimated sterilization of 5% and three% respectively. The number of girls sterilized in the identical age group rose to 35.three% in 1968 in accordance with a research by the Puerto Rican demographer Dr. lose Vasquez Calzada. In , Paul K.

Q. Differentiate between structured analysis and structured design?
Ans. The aim of structured examination is to transform the textual description of a problem into a graphic model. Throughout structured analysis functional decomposition of the system takes place that is each function that the system performs is analyzed and hierarchically decomposed into more detailed functions.
On the other side during structured design all functions identified during structured analysis are mapped to a module structure. This module structures is as well called software architecture for the given problem and it can be directly implemented using a conventional programming language.
The basis of structured analysis is to capture the detailed structure of the system as perceived by the user whereas the purpose of structured design is to define the structure of the solution that is appropriate for implementation in some programming language.

St. Philomena Church (Kalawao)
Father Damien's Church
Here under Molokai's sea cliffs, on the secluded Kalaupapa Peninsula, is St.Philomena Church, ministered to by the legendary (and now sainted) Father Damien. He arrived in Kalawao in 1873, and twice enlarged the small wooden church he inherited, with patient/parishioner helpers. The final work was completed after Damien's death in 1889, by Brother Joseph Dutton. Their graves lie just outside the church, where countless others were buried, in cemeteries and thousands of unmarked graves.

One of the biggest factors in web design in 2014 and beyond is making sure that your site is responsive. For those of you unaware of what this term means, here it is: Responsive web design makes sure that your site appears as clean and professional looking as possible across all types of hardware devices. From desktop computers to tablets and mobile devices, web users today can come from anywhere. With that in mind, you want to make sure your business is thinking about their experience across all devices.
As we put together this blog for Apex Digital Media we kept this in mind. Our site needs to look great on all devices but we also want to make sure that we’re running AdSense and learning in real time from our own implementation of the product. In installing the leaderboard ads (728×90) We noticed to our dismay that on mobile devices this ad format was not adjusting for the screen size. In fact, the 728×90 ad was forcing the page out and making our site look terrible and broken on iPhone and Android devices. We needed to consider responsive web design for Google AdSense.
To solve the problem, the first thing we tried was responsively resizing the ads via CSS based on the size of a users screen. This did not work, probably because due to best practices Google does not want this ad format resized for a mobile device because it subtracts value for their advertisers. With that in mind we really?wanted to keep this format on desktop and tablet versions of the site because the implementation was clean and professional looking. So we were stuck at a crossroads…
We wanted the best of both worlds… a clean mobile experience but the ability to monetize the blog with the 728×90 leaderboard ad format.?We decided it would be worthwhile to just remove this format altogether for the sake of our user experience. Sometimes when you want cake you have to compromise.
If you’re reading this post on a mobile device you can probably see that the 728×90 format is not there and the site template is clean and professional. It does still contain ads?though. The 300×250 format tends to work well with mobile templates so we are still able to monetize mobile traffic?while maintaining?a user experience that is in line with our standards and with general best practices.
How did we do it you ask? This is one area where we’re happy to share our knowledge as it will make the mobile web a better place for all… (it’s also readily available to anyone with a black belt in Google-Fu).
Google Makes Responsive Web Design for Google AdSense Easy
To start, you need to generate a piece of AdSense code for your site. ?(If you don’t know how to do that yet you may want to start here.) Once you have your personalized AdSense?code on your website you’ll want to surf over to this link – and scroll down to the header “Hiding an ad unit” and expand it. It will show you some sample code, copy and paste everything between the “style” tags.
Next you will want to amend your AdSense code slightly by adding the class of the style inside the ins class: “adsbygoogle” so it looks like this “adsbygoogle adslot_1”.
Finally – and this is the hangup we ran into, you MUST be sure to remove the style declaration in your personalized code. (refer to the screen shot below where it is circled in red).
Once you have set up the style, inserted the call and removed the original style declaration from your AdSense code you can save it and it should completely remove that ad slot?from any devices with a screen width of less than 400 pixels. If you’re really advanced you can also tweak the code to make that width larger or smaller. | <urn:uuid:588aafff-71bf-4018-999b-616c1c657552> | CC-MAIN-2021-39 | http://www.glorychase.com/responsive-web-design-for-google-adsense/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-39/segments/1631780053493.41/warc/CC-MAIN-20210916094919-20210916124919-00000.warc.gz | en | 0.94079 | 802 | 1.539063 | 2 |
About Nikolaev city in Ukraine
In over 220 years, Nikolaev city (another name Nikolayev and Ukrainian name is Mykolaiv or Mytolayiv) was able to make a good name for itself as an important business and political center, having become the cultured center of southern Ukraine. Its citizens love their wonderful place which has enormous potentials of economical development and well being.
The history of Nikolaev city began in 1789 when building of the shipyard was developed in the lade of Ingul river. That was Prince Grigoriy Potyomkin who kept a vigilant eye on this process and after a year a small place arouse in the southern part of Ukraine which was named Nikolaev city.
Nikolaev Ukraine has more than 450 thousand inhabitants and is the ninth largest city at the present time in Ukraine.
All over the world Nikolaev Ukraine is famous as the Nikolaev city of brides.

The main technologies in Nikolaev city are engineering and metal-working which service the shipbuilding and energy machine building industries in the city with skilled labour and know-how. These industries provide about 50% of the total Ukrainian shipbuilding production, more than 90% in manufacturing of state gas turbines and 80% of argil accounting for aluminum.
Shipbuilding in Nikolaev Ukraine consists of three large shipbuilding plants which are able to build and supply any kind of ships.

Tankers, dry cargo carriers, reefer ships, trawlers, warships of different types are all produced at these powerful dockyards.
In addition there some electrical and electronic industry have established themselves in the city, complete with high master degree staff.
The Industrial incorporation "Zorya" and research technical union "Mashproekt" make gas-turbine units and engines for the shipbuilding industry, transportation of natural gas and the production of electricity. Their output has a recognised high class in world standard and have become an article of worldwide export.

Hazel Woods Preschool Philosophy and Daily Rhythms
The foundation of Hazel Woods’s curriculum is Waldorf-based and follows Rudolf Steiner’s philosophies. Additionally, we incorporate a variety of educational modalities, and use ideals from a great many renowned philosophers and educators including Steiner, Froebel, Mason, Piaget, Montessori, Holt and Dewey. Therefore, Hazel Woods Preschool should not be classified as Waldorf solely, but Waldorf inspired or influenced.
Steiner’s influence on Hazel Woods Preschool is in the following ideals:
Education should address the whole child, as a threefold being in the realms of thinking, feeling and willing, as well as spirit, soul and body. Acknowledging the whole child stimulates the full spectrum of their being.
We nurture healthy emotional, physical and social development through experiential and play-based learning. By utilizing a broad range of play, physical activity, problem solving, cooperative play, handwork, artistic movement, yoga, and dance we guide their bodies, minds and spirits to become fully integrated.
We also utilize Steiner’s philosophy that children pass through distinct developmental stages at which time specific forces are at work as their capacities develop. Through mixed-age group integration children learn and develop through peer play, allowing each of these developmental stages to fully unfold.
Additionally, Hazel Woods emphasizes respect, reverence and wonder for nature and for human existence. Allowing the seasons to direct our art, music, plays, puppet shows, dances, and meal choices are examples of how we connect the children to the natural order of the world around us.
Play-Based - To support the vivid
imagination of each child, great care
has gone into every toy selection for
Hazel Woods. All toys are hand-made
and have been gathered from all
corners of the world.
Everything is made of natural
materials such as woods, cotton, silks, wool,
shells, stone, or other organic matter. Each toy is carefully chosen for age appropriateness and safety, as well as tactile and visual stimulation.
Art - Art is an important part of our preschool therefore we do art each day and provide the finest art materials available and integrate every possible medium to enrich the children’s experience.
Kindergarten Readiness -
The Waldorf Whole Child curriculum is
outstanding in meeting most of the areas
to be assessed for kindergarten readiness
but not necessarily all of them, so by
design, Hazel Woods Preschool is
"Waldorf inspired" as opposed to following
Waldorf pedagogy in its entirety.
In recognizing that many of our students will not attend a Waldorf elementary school, we felt it is important to support reading and writing readiness. Therefore, we live fully in the realm of traditional Waldorf storytelling and puppetry, but we also read books at Hazel Woods each day to support letter and word awareness and phonetics. To see the Kindergarten Readiness Assessment tool please refer to the FAQ's page of this website.
Conflict Resolution - Every child needs to know that they have value in the world, they need to be heard, and they need to trust that their feelings matter. Through redirection, listening, patience, guidance, love and support all issues large and small can be fairly and easily resolved. To see a comprehensive overview of our preschool Conflict Resolution guidelines please refer to the FAQ's page of this website.
Media, Television and Video Games - Our philosophy is built on nurturing each child’s creativity and imagination during the critical early developmental years. For this to be most successful, it is imperative that a limited media policy be practiced in the family home.
Like minded parents appreciate that their children’s friends and families live in a real world existence and appreciate the wonder around them. You can trust when your children go on play-dates with their peers, which they will, they won’t spend their time playing videos games, on the internet, or in front of a television with a bag of chips. In choosing a preschool it’s critically important to find parents that have compatible beliefs.
Spiritual Influences - Hazel Woods is a secular school and there is no religion associated with Hazel Woods Preschool. Instead, we respect each others cultures, religions and beliefs, and the value of the world of differences emphasized. Family traditions and celebrations are welcomed and encouraged as part of our seasonal activities.
Hazel Woods Preschool Daily Rhythms
Parents bring the children in for a warm greeting, assist them changing into their indoor shoes, apply sun block as needed, and give hugs and kisses and say "good-bye." The children begin greeting their friends, exploring and playing.
9:00 – 10:00
Art and Indoor Free Play
Everyday we provide a new and stimulating art project. We are drawing, or painting in different mediums, or working in dough or clay or sand, or working on a seasonal craft project...
Mealtime Preparation and Indoor Free Play
Each day we are preparing meals at school. We are baking fresh bread, or making a salad, or snapping green beans, or making a pot of soup, or baking a traditional Waldorf birthday cake. For each meal the children help with the food and set the table with china plates, flatware and glasses.
Note: During art and mealtime preparations the children are also involved in indoor free play. They are given complete freedom to participate as much or as little as they would like in these activities. The children appreciate the independence to weave themselves in and out of these activities throughout the morning.
10:00 Circle Time
The kids have had a nice morning easing into the day, doing crafts, prepping meals, and playing with friends. Now, they're wide awake and ready for stories and music to come to life in them. We come together as a group and say our morning hellos, and then lead into Circle Time - Here is where we do our yoga classes, meditation, nursery rhymes, finger games, songs, dancing, musical instruments, and Waldorf puppet shows.
10:15 Clean up and Prepare for Outside Play
We all do our part as we play the Koshi chime and sing a song and work together to put all the toys away. We use the potty as needed, change into the appropriate clothes for the weather, i.e. sweaters and jackets, or raincoats and boots, or bathing suits and towels...and we gather our paints and brushes, bubbles and chalk etc., and head outside.
The star child plays music to call everyone to sit down to a healthy meal together. We say a verse and enjoy our meal and our conversation.
Verse for all meals:
Blessings on the blossom, blessing on the fruit, blessings on the leaves and stems, and blessings on our food. Bon appetite', now you may eat :).
Here we take pleasure in fresh air, water-play, outdoor painting, mud, gardening, chasing bubbles, feeding the rabbit, climbing, running, playing ball, jumping, singing, and dancing. We explore the garden for fairies and gnomes and enjoy all the bugs, birds, flowers, and nature all around us. This is a very life-sized out-breath!
The star child plays music to call everyone to the table to enjoy a healthy hot lunch together. Here we enjoy talking and laughing about the day we have shared together at Preschool.
A Little More outdoor Play...
After we are finished eating, we clear our plates, and we can go back to our games and enjoy outdoor play for a little while longer. This playtime tends to naturally be more tranquil, quiet and solitary.
We head inside and wash off paint and mud, wash our hands, and change clothes as needed. The children are warm and dry and cozy inside once again.
Note: During outside time there is always a teacher inside to assist with potty breaks and changes of clothes, etc. She is also inside to spend time with any kids who want to take a break from outside play. Sometimes it may be too warm or chilly, or sometimes a child may just feel like being inside. We will sit and read with them, or sometimes they like to help us with meals or folding laundry... It's nice for the inside teacher too to have a little helper/companion :).
Story Time & Afternoon Snack
Everyone has had a wonderful day of adventures! Now, the children are feeling a little tired and are need of a some quiet and rest. Here we find a sweet still moment, and in-breath where they can lie down with a pillow and blanket if they like while we read the children a book especially chosen by the star child. Cold days are usually by the warmth of the fire :).
The star child plays music to everyone to wash hands and sit down together for a healthy afternoon snack.
We know parents are coming soon so we sing our good-bye song. When the children are done eating they clear their plates, and find a book to enjoy looking at while waiting for Mommies and Daddies and Nannies.
Everyone goes home to take a nice long nap and dream about the lovely day they had-Teachers too ;). "Bye-bye, see you in the morning!"
