When you think of speakers, loud sounds are typically the first thing that comes to mind. Speakers have amplifiers built in to make sounds louder. But did you know that a balloon may also be used as an amplifier to boost the volume? HOW TO MAKE A BALLOON AMPLIFIER - Fill the balloon with air. - Hold the inflated balloon close to your ear. - Tap the side of the balloon that is away from your face lightly. - Do not do anything that will cause it to pop while it is near you, as loud noises like these can really hurt your ears! So, what happens ? You’ll hear a sound that’s significantly louder than the mild tapping of your finger. WHY DOES A BALLOON AMPLIFY SOUND The air inside the balloon is tightly compressed. Pumping air into the balloon works as an air compressor, forcing air to inflate the rubber balloon. The air molecules inside the balloon are significantly closer together than they are in the rest of the room. Because the molecules in the air inside the balloon were so closely packed together, it became a greater conductor of sound waves. As a result, even a gentle tapping of your finger produces a greater sound. I hope you enjoyed experimenting with a balloon amplifier! If so, why not subscribe to our newsletter to ensure that new ideas and activities are always available when you’re searching for something fun to do with your kids. We’ve also got some great science experiments for kids on our blog if that sounds interesting. Pin it for later

A cable enclosure is designed to protect its contents (cables, connectors, equipment etc.) against external influences. The structure also acts as a shield to prevent its potentially live contents from causing damage or injury to passersby. Cable pits are positioned on cable routes to provide branching or bending points and to allow access for jointing and maintenance. Common cables routed through cable pits include data/communication fibre-optic cables and low voltage electrical wiring (higher voltage cables typically go overhead or extremely deep underground). In contrast, surface cable ducting systems become the cable route and allow low voltage cables and other utilities to be laid directly along a trafficable pavement. They can be continually accessed through removable covers. The structure enclosing the services is typically continuous. There are various codes governing the use of cable enclosures relevant to both the electrical and communications industries. Dependent on the application, it is ACO’s recommendation that all designers and installers reference these documents or seek further advice from relevant legislative authorities and consulting engineers. For electrical installations, certain cable types are drawn into pits. AS/NZS 3000 chiefly defines these cables as Category A underground wiring systems and dependent on the cable type, they are housed in a cable route (between pits) inside light flexible to heavy duty orange conduits. In the communications industry, cables (typically to transmit video, data and/or voice) are generally housed in white conduits and are drawn along cable routes into cable pits. These routes are specifically termed pathways in a cable management system. Enclosures in the communications industry are also known as spaces or handholes and are all classified as cabling products governed by the requirements set out in AS/ACIF S008 for the customer side of the boundary. AS/NZS 3084 reviews the typical pit sizes for communications installations. Additionally, many telecommunications carriers also have their own specific criteria and these are generally documented.

When you measure your blood pressure at home, do you always look at the number but not sure how it looks? Is it high or low? Should you be worried about it? Read this article to learn more about the blood pressure readings! There are two numbers in a blood pressure reading - the systolic blood pressure (the upper number) and the diastolic pressure (the bottom number). The systolic blood pressure measures the force your heart exerts on the walls of your arteries each time it beats while the diastolic blood pressure measures the force your heart exerts on the walls of your arteries in between beats. Knowing your blood pressure is crucial to knowing where you are with your blood pressure. But since blood pressure tends to bounce around a lot, just checking a few times a week or month is usually not enough. If your blood pressure is stable, or you are too busy to check often, the American Heart Association recommends what is called a ‘baseline’, or a group of at least 12 measurements that are averaged together to estimate your true current blood pressure. It is done by checking both in the morning, and the evening, for at least 3 days - each time you check your blood pressure, measure it 2 times, spaced no more than 1 minute apart. The schedule would look like this: Check your baseline at any time, but most importantly, when you are new to the program, when you have a medication change or new diagnosis, or even a change in your routine, stress, or lifestyle. You may also check it when you measure less often than 3 times per week. The therapeutic goal of blood pressure for patients with both diabetes and hypertension is lower than 140/90 mmHg (Stage 1 or below). However, lower than 130/80 mmHg (Elevated or below) is a more stringent goal for those with a high risk of cardiovascular diseases and whom are able to achieve it without excessive treatment burden. Systolic pressure less than 90 or diastolic pressure less that 60 is considered as low blood pressure. Feel free to talk to your UnifiedCare Team if you have any question about the blood pressure reading or want some advice to keep your blood pressure in the controlled range.

“Humanitarian needs have increased significantly in 2021 but the funding to respond to these needs is the worst in six years,” said Mr. Adam Abdelmoula, the Deputy Special Representative of the United Nations Secretary-General, Resident and Humanitarian Coordinator for Somalia. “Humanitarian partners can barely meet the basic needs of hungry families, desperate communities and displaced women and children.” Almost half the Somali population needs humanitarian aid. In addition, 2.9 million people remain displaced from their homes; 2.8 million will need urgent food assistance by September; a million children are malnourished. The humanitarian situation has been aggravated by a double climate disaster – drought in some parts of the country and flooding in others – and the impact of political tensions, COVID-19 and the worst desert locust infestation in years. Yet despite the dire situation, only 26 per cent of the US$1.09 billion funding needed for the 2021 Somalia Humanitarian Response Plan has been provided. Some components of the response, including education, shelter and coordination for displaced persons’ camps, have received less than 2 per cent of the funding needed. Already, humanitarian agencies are being forced to scale down or suspend life-saving assistance; a situation that will worsen if the funding gap is not immediately addressed. Up to 3 million people could lose access to essential health care services, 1.7 million to safe water and improved sanitation and 250,000 children will face potentially life-threatening malnutrition.

We’ve rounded up some of the best tree stuff on the web for your enjoyment. Check out this month’s highlights below: Recreation. Photography and videography. Surveying land. Amazon delivery. These are some of the ways drones are being used today. But did you know that drones could also be used to reverse the deforestation problem? The rate at which we’re cutting down trees far exceeds our ability and financial means to replant trees by hand, but a fleet of drones could plant up to 100,000 trees per day! Learn more about the future of precision forestry. Climate change is a topic on many minds, including scientists in Australia. An experiment they’re conducting shows that trees stop absorbing carbon in extreme heat, but that they release water – essentially, trees “sweat” to survive extreme heatwaves. This is contrary to what scientists believed about the photosynthesis and transpiration process. Read more about their experiment and its implications. Arborists and their counterparts in industry recently descended upon Maui, Hawaii, for their annual Winter Management Conference. While there, they visited the famed Lahaina Banyan tree. When planted in 1973, this tree stood at just eight feet tall. The Banyan tree has grown so large by dropping roots from its branches, which then became additional trunks over the process of time. Today, it stands over 60 feet high, has 16 major trunks in addition to the massive original trunk, and shades nearly two-thirds of an acre. Read more about it! We can’t talk about things we heart in February without talking about the 2018 Winter Olympics! Turns out, Pyeongchang has been helping trees of all ages and types survive the brutal winds that have forced many of the athletic events to be rescheduled. This article isn’t long, but it’s worth a read!

Report on Ukinrek Maars (United States) — 14 April-20 April 2021 Smithsonian / US Geological Survey Weekly Volcanic Activity Report, 14 April-20 April 2021 Managing Editor: Sally Kuhn Sennert Please cite this report as: Global Volcanism Program, 2021. Report on Ukinrek Maars (United States). In: Sennert, S K (ed.), Weekly Volcanic Activity Report, 14 April-20 April 2021. Smithsonian Institution and US Geological Survey. 57.832°N, 156.51°W; summit elev. 91 m All times are local (unless otherwise noted) AVO reported a loss of operation and communication with seismic stations that monitor Ukinrek-Maars, likely caused by snow cover. Both the Aviation Color Code and the Volcano Alert Level were changed to Unassigned on 19 April, reflecting the inability to locate earthquakes to detect unrest. Monitoring will continue with the remaining seismic stations, regional infrasound networks, lightning detection, and satellite images. Geological Summary. Ukinrek Maars are two explosion craters that were created in an area without previous volcanic activity during a 10-day phreatomagmatic eruption March-April 1977. The basaltic maars were erupted through glacial deposits in the Bering Sea lowlands 1.5 km S of Becharof Lake and 12 km W of Peulik volcano; their location is related to the regional Bruin Bay fault. The elliptical West Maar, which was the first to form, is 105 x 170 m wide and 35 m deep. The other maar, 600 m to the east, is 300 m wide and 70 m deep. Both maars are now filled by crater lakes; the eastern lake encircles a 49-m-high lava dome that was emplaced at the end of the eruption. Base surges were directed primarily to the NW. Juvenile material from the Ukinrek eruptions was of mantle-derived olivine basaltic composition. The dacitic Gas Rocks lava domes, of Quaternary age, are located on the shores of Becharof Lake, 3 km N of Ukinrek maars and were the site of a phreatic eruption about 2,300 years ago.

In "Personne ne croit en toi comme j'y crois", why "y" if y is standing for "en toi?" I thought y was for prepositional phrases beginning with à Reading B2, Listening or Seeing B2 That's a good question. The usual Croire à qqc -- to believe somethingcroire en qqc -- to believe in something, trust in something, have faith in something (Note that croire can also take a COD without any preposition) There's a difference in certitude or conviction: croire à is less certain, with less emotional emphasis than croire en. In the sentence you ask about, y may not stand for en toi, it could also stand by itself and on its own, referring to the general idea of "believing in you". Thanks, Chris. A couple clarifying questions--what does COD stand for? And if y does not stand for anything, then what is its purpose In the sentence? COD = complement objet direct = direct object of the verb. In the case of croire, this would be: je crois Pierre riche -- I hold Pierre for rich (I believe he is rich). J'y crois is idiomatic and means "I believe it". Stephanie - not sure about the use of ‘y’ here - but agree it logically replaces ‘en toi’. As it is in a song, perhaps this is not 100% grammatically correct ? Every site I have found notes only places, things or “ideas” but not ‘people’ can be replaced by ‘y’. However ‘y’ is not restricted to replacing places introduced by à, it can replace a place starting with other “prepositions of place” as well. Je vais en France -J’y vais, for instance.

Reduce, Reuse, Recycle! This craft reuses egg cartons, which makes it a great Earth Day activity. I love that it is perfect for spring, easy for little hands, and adaptable to go along with Eric Carle’s The Very Hungry Caterpillar book. It also makes sessions fun! I did this craft with my younger students after I read The Very Hungry Caterpillar and had them answer questions about the story. There are so many different skills you can target with this wonderful book, such as counting, sequencing, vocabulary building, question answering, and specific sound practice. You can print a copy of my questions now and look for more related ideas and printables in the Picnic Basic Set. Here are the directions for the egg carton caterpillar: - egg carton (cut into a 3-cup strip) - pipe cleaner (cut in half) - googly eyes - Gather materials. - Have the child draw a smile and nose, if desired, on one end of the egg carton. - Poke small holes where the antennae will be. From the bottom of the caterpillar, have the child put one end of the pipe cleaner in one hole and then the other end through the other hole. Curl the ends and bend them as desired. - Glue small googly eyes above the smile. Here are the printable downloads for this post:

Ms Mollie's Classroom 3 Hello from Classroom 3, Last month was a hard month with the virus that spread so quickly, but during that time it was a great opportunity to talk about health and safety with our children at school and also at home. While we remained open for the families who needed that support from us, we tried to keep their daily routine as normal as could be. For the families that could, they took this opportunity to spend extra time together and build a stronger bond. This also gave parents a chance to be even more of a teacher and get creative with activities for their family to do together. I know this has been a scary time, but I hope we took the time to stop and not take for granted the simple things in life and found something positive from the uncertainty that is right now. Moving forward I would still like to continue to talk about health and safety. As a class we already take precautions with sanitation, but now more than ever it is important to further instill cleaning rituals with our daily routine. Hand washing routines, dressing for weather, and eating nutritional foods are some health and safety practices occurring daily in a learning environment. We as teachers and families are responsible for creating and setting a good example of hygiene and sanitation practices. I have seen many creative, simple, and fun activities that show how germs work and how to properly wash your hands. This has been a teaching time for all of us, and we need to continue to work together so that in the future your children will think back and remember all the fun memories that were created instead of confusion and uneasiness. Here is a quote by Gabe Grunewald that I have found that I would like to leave you with. "You can still make something beautiful and something powerful out of a really bad situation." Ms. Mollie and Ms. Ashley S.

Women casual dress Many scholars believe, however, that the first crude garments and ornaments worn by humans were designed not for utilitarian but for religious or ritual purposes. Other basic functions of dress include identifying the wearer and making the wearer appear more attractive. Although it is clear why such uses of dress developed and remain significant, it can often be difficult to determine how they are achieved. Some garments thought of as beautiful offer no protection whatsoever and may in fact even injure the wearer. Items that definitely identify one wearer can lose their meaning in another time and place. There are no simple answers to such questions, of course, and any one reason is influenced by a multitude of others, but certainly one of the most prevalent theories is that fashion evolved in conjunction with capitalism and the development of modern socioeconomic classes. Thus, in relatively static societies with limited movement between classes, as in many parts of Asia until modern times or in Europe before the Middle Ages, styles did not undergo a pattern of change. In contrast, when lower classes have the ability to copy upper classes, the upper classes quickly instigate fashion changes that demonstrate their authority and high position. During the 20th century, for example, improved communication and manufacturing technology enabled new styles to trickle down from the elite to the masses at ever faster speeds, with the result that fashion change accelerated. Furthermore, the idea that fashion is a reflection of wealth and prestige can be used to explain the popularity of many styles throughout costume history. For example, royal courts have been a major source of fashion in the West, where clothes that are difficult to obtain and expensive to maintain have frequently been at the forefront of fashion. Ruffs, for example, required servants to reset them with hot irons and starch every day and so were not generally worn by ordinary folk. As such garments become easier to buy and care for, they lose their exclusivity and hence much of their appeal. For the same reason, when fabrics or materials are rare or costly, styles that require them in excessive, extravagant amounts become particularly fashionable—as can be seen in the 16th-century vogue for slashing outer garments to reveal a second layer of luxurious fabric underneath. |Delivery Time||Ready to ship in 2-3 Business Days| |Shop Location||Cairo, Egypt| No reviews found!

Fair trade is an approach to business and to development based on dialogue, transparency, and respect that seeks to create greater equity in the international trading system. Fair trade supports farmers and craftspeople in developing countries who are socially and economically marginalized. These producers lack economic opportunity and often face steep hurdles in finding markets and customers for their goods. Fair trade is much more than just trade. At the core of the fair trade model is a direct, cooperative, and in-depth relationship between buyers and sellers that keeps all of the principles of fair trade at the forefront.What Does that Really Mean? Fair Trade is about making a tremendous impact on artisan and farmer communities while offering great products to the public. Fairly traded clothing, coffee, food, furniture, home decor, housewares, jewelry, tea, toys, personal accessories, and many other products are available from Fair Trade Organizations. Communities are improved; nutritional needs met; health care costs are covered; the poor, especially women, are empowered; the environmental impact of production, sourcing, and transport is mitigated to the fullest extent possible. Such an impact is created because Fair Trade approaches development as a holistic process. What is the Fair Trade Federation? Fair Trade Federation (FTF) members are fully committed to Fair Trade. They have dedicated their businesses to creating positive change for the poorest of the poor. This means that fair trade is at the core of every business decision they make. By selling their products in North America, Fair Trade Federation members are improving the lives of artisans and farmers around the globe. This is my 20th year in business after leaving the corporate world! I am an adventure traveler choosing to work directly with producer groups, which are often extended families with generations of experience with musical crafts. Our goal is to sustain long-term trading relationships to create economic stability. With your help, we provide critical support to these low-income families through fair wages, in the local context, and other valuable assistance. Most that I have met convey a love for their work and a gentle approach to life. It is a big reasons I do what I do. I gain critical perspective on my own culture by visiting theirs.

Daily Reading: Mark 4:30-32: Again he said, “What shall we say the kingdom of God is like, or what parable shall we use to describe it? 31 It is like a mustard seed, which is the smallest of all seeds on earth. 32 Yet when planted, it grows and becomes the largest of all garden plants, with such big branches that the birds can perch in its shade.” The mustard seed represents the Gospel, starting very small but growing to reach millions throughout the world who will inherit the kingdom. Remember when Jesus talked about the Kingdom, He is describing it to a crowd, where Jesus at the time only had twelve disciples. There were not many who believed, and even in Acts 1 it says the group was 120. The people couldn’t even comprehend what Jesus was telling them. 120 believers sharing the Gospel led to where we stand today at an estimate of 2.18 billion believers from Jesus’ day to ours. What comes prior to our mustard seed parable, Jesus teaches what the kingdom of God is like. A man scatters seed on the ground. Night and day, whether he sleeps or gets up, the seed sprouts and grows, though he does not know how. All by itself the soil produces grain—first the stalk, then the head, then the full kernel in the head. As soon as the grain is ripe, he puts the sickle to it, because the harvest has come” (Mark 4:26-29). So, first of all, the man sowing seed is the teacher or preacher of truth. His sleeping and rising night and day indicate that human effort is not the cause of the growth of the seed. It is a work of God in the hearts of men. The seed growing secretly - 1. God does His work silently. - God does His work slowly. - God does His work surely. Because we know that salvation is a work of God, we are simply vehicles that bring forth the grace of God into the world by sowing seeds of God’s truth. Now when we get to the parable of the mustard seed it shows the impact that kingdom work has. Both men and women are equal, integral parts in the expansion of the Kingdom (Mark 4:26, Luke 13:21). In a male dominant society in the time, Jesus does the original him/her insert when talking about kingdom workers.

Psychogenic polydipsia is an uncommon clinical disorder characterized by excessive water-drinking in the absence of a physiologic stimulus to drink. The excessive water-drinking is well tolerated unless hyponatraemia supervenes (1). The level of hyponatraemia used in one study was below 130 mmol/L (2). Classically this disorder has been described in hospitalised schizophrenics. Also it may occur in children, as a symptom of emotional difficulties or as an isolated phenomenon in a child who simply enjoys drinking. The diagnosis of psychogenic polydipsia is one of exclusion and requires specialist investigation and management; the most important test is the water deprivation test which should be undertaken carefully. Note that chronic psychogenic polydipsia may actually impair the response of the kidneys to ADH, and therefore reduce the renal concentrating ability. Equivocal results should be interpreted with caution. Clozapine is an atypical antipsychotic drug that has been demonstrated to be a highly effective treatment for polydipsia in schizophrenic patients. There has also been the successful use of clozapine in psychogenic polydipsia in a non-schizophrenic patient (3). - Psychogenic polydipsia with hyponatremia: report of eleven cases.

According to Cora Randall, CU professor and LASP research associate, the Aeronomy of Ice in the Mesosphere (AIM) Cloud Imaging and Particle Size (CIPS) instrument saw this season’s first polar mesospheric clouds on May 28. Polar mesospheric clouds, also called noctilucent or “night shining” clouds, form at about 50 miles above Earth’s surface and can be seen when they reflect light after sunset. The Northern Hemisphere cloud season generally begins in late May and lasts until late August; in the Southern Hemisphere, the season goes from late November to late February. Although the 2010 season has begun, Randall noted the timing of this year’s first cloud detection. She said, “The season appears to be starting more slowly than in past years.” Scientists are not sure what has caused this change, but hope that ongoing data from AIM will further our understanding of mesospheric weather patterns. Scientists believe the timing and duration of polar mesospheric cloud formation can provide understanding about climate change and the link between mesospheric and tropospheric weather patterns.

Approximately 16 million Asian men consider themselves to be Genghis Khan’s descendants. It turns out that may actually be true. Almost four years ago Zerijal and fellow researchers published a paper showing Y-chromosome variability of 2,123 inhabitants of different regions in Asia. They discovered a whole cluster of closely-related lines, all having a common ancestor. They originated from Mongolia when Khan lived and its distribution coincided with the boundaries of his empire. Plus, let's face it, friends of Genghis Khan had plenty of opportunities to have sex. And they did. Often. Khan consolidated the Mongolian tribes in 1206. Over time the Mongolian state grew to encompass China, Central Asia, Iran and a large part of Russia. Recently investigators in Russia did a population study of a similar nature. They investigated Y-chromosomes of 1,437 men-representatives of 18 ethnic groups: Altai Kazakhs, Altai-Khizhis, Teleuts, Khakasses, Shor, Tuvinians, Todjins, Tofalars, Soyotes, Buryats, Khamnigans, Evenks, Mongolians, Kalmyks, Tajiks, Kurds, Persians and Russians. The researchers discovered a cluster of male lines possessing a common ancestor, supposedly Genghis Khan, the frequency of the “ancestry” Y-chromosome variant being the highest. The largest share of the Genghisides fell on Mongolia (about 35 percent). In the Russian population, the highest number of the Khan chromosome carriers are among the Altai Kazakhs - 8.3 percent. The odd result? The “Genghiside” cluster was discovered only in the populations of Mongolia, where the Mongol Empire originated in 1206. The Golden Horde, originated by the grandson of Genghis Khan, held eastern Russia for 250 years yet seems to have left no genetic traces. So are you descended from Genghis Khan? It seems there's a better chance of it if you're a farmer in Tennessee than if you're in the part of Russia Genghis Khan and his chromosomes actually held.

Janet Seltman : Pittsburgh, PA Alexander Technique is a simple, practical method for improving ease and freedom of movement. By connecting thought and movement, balance, flexibility, and coordination can increase. Alexander Technique is sometimes called a pre-technique since it is useful to support both everyday and highly specialized activities. Musicians, dancers, actors, and sports people have used the technique effectively. Anyone who does repetitive movement can find ease from tension. F.M. Alexander developed his process at the turn of the twentieth century. As a professional orator, he was motivated to change because he repeatedly lost his voice when he spoke. When doctors didn’t have solutions to his problem, he explored how he was “using” himself. First, he became aware of his movement habits. Then he discovered ways to stop those habits and to do something else, something more constructive. This resulted in his technique. Through it, he (and we), learn to change movement habits. Alexander’s technique makes new connections between body and mind. How we think about something and how we do it actually, literally, matter. His process is taught verbally and kinesthetically, through hands-on experience. For more information about the Alexander Technique:

A guide to Berlin A Guide to Berlin is the name of a short story written by Vladimir Nabokov in 1925, when he was a young man of 26, living in Berlin.In this novel, a group of six international travellers, two Italians, two Japanese, an American and an Australian, meet in empty apartments in Berlin to share stories and memories. Each is enthralled in some way to the work of Vladimir Nabokov, and each is finding their way in deep winter in a haunted city. A moment of devastating violence shatters the group, and changes the direction of everyone’s story. - Derechos de autor: - 2015 Sydney : Random House - Book Quality: - Sydney : Random House - Date of Addition: - Literature and Fiction, - Usage Restrictions: - This is a copyrighted book.

Every town has a cobbler’s shop at some point. Ours was located in the alley behind one of the banks until it was moved to Yellowstone street. In the 1940’s it became a location to house solders and families during the building of the air base. At one time during the building and operation of the air base this building provided housing for four adults and four tiny children with nothing more then a sink, stool, washbasin and a two burner portable hot plate. You will see various tools used by a Cobbler. If there was no harness maker in town a Cobbler might fill in. Their shops were usually close together and near the livery stable and the downtown area. Shoes were worn until holes appeared then they were patched, mended and often passed onto the next in line. often times there was no way of telling the right shoe from the left shoe and the “lasts” were made in “either foot” design (and you wondered where pointed toes came from). Before velcro and zippers there were buttons, eyes, hooks, laces, straps and buckles. There were no such things as arch support, soft insoles, traction treads, sneakers, track shoes, dress shoes, etc. You received a hand made soft leather shoe that fit your feet and because of the cost you took care of them and wore them for a long time before getting rid of them. Sensible shoes were the thing. You wanted something that was going to protect your feet and still be wearable for all sorts of occasions. Polish was used regularly and often one child had the duty of polishing all of the shoes before church on Sunday. Durable leather was used for work shoes and every day shoes, but there was also some sense of fashion for the ladies in the cities. many cobblers were aided by their wives in finding just the right kind of fabric (sometimes satin) for a new pair of ladies shoes. Other times very soft and buttery leather was used depending on the need. These were highly prized and very expensive and they were not desirable for farm or ranch life. many woman then and now choose boots to wear at home and while working on the farm or ranch.

Here's why that is the case. The idea here is that in order for an atom to be an atom of boron, it must have In other words, if an atom has an atomic number equal to However, the number of neutrons that an atom can have and still be an atom of boron can vary. The problem tells you that boron has two isotopes, boron-10 and boron-11. These two atoms are said to be isotopes of boron because - they have the same number of protons inside the nucleus - they have different numbers of neutrons inside the nucleus The number added to the name of the isotope tells you the mass number of the isotope, i.e. the number of protons and neutrons located inside the nucleus. So you can say that #"boron-10: " "protons + neutrons" = 10# #"boron-11: " "protons + neutrons" = 11# Since both of them must have #"boron-10: " "5 protons + 5 neutrons"# #"boron-11: " "5 protons + 6 neutrons"# So, to sum this up, boron-10 and boron-11 are isotopes because they have the same number of protons in the nucleus, i.e.

ERIC Number: ED376991 Record Type: Non-Journal Publication Date: 1994-Dec Integrate, Don't Isolate! Computers in the Early Childhood Curriculum. ERIC Digest. Davis, Bernadette Caruso; Shade, Daniel D. When computers are relegated to a single room in a school where children use them only occasionally, their potential impact on children's learning is minimized. When computers are integrated into the curriculum and are applied to real problems, however, children gain the ability to use computers as natural tools for learning. For example, when a teacher chooses a topic for an integrated study project, the class will define relevant concepts related to that topic and choose activities to explore those concepts. Sometimes computers will be the most appropriate tool for exploring the concepts. As they work on their project, children can use computer programs to construct stories with pictures, labels, and voice recordings; gather information from CD-ROM encyclopedias; compose and illustrate stories; and write letters to experts. Children can also use microworlds, or programs that help them discover concepts and cause-effect relationships, and serve as a bridge between hands-on experience and abstract learning. Teachers help children learn in computer-enriched classrooms by filling several roles. Initially, teachers serve as instructors to children in the use of computers. Later, as children gain more experience, the teacher's role moves to that of a coach. By using computers themselves, teachers can also serve as models to children Finally, teachers must be critics of computer software, learning to select the best software to enhance children's development. In all cases, teachers must remember that without proper integration of computers into the curriculum, the benefits of technology to children's learning cannot be fully achieved.

Fifteen of Australia’s top climate experts explain how we know humans are altering the atmosphere and why we must act now. - The global average temperature has increased by about 0.8 degrees since 1850, with most of the increase occurring since 1950. The warming varies among decades because of natural fluctuations but the overall trend has been inexorably upward. - The dominant cause of the warming since about 1950 is the increase in the atmospheric concentrations of greenhouse gases released by human activities, of which carbon dioxide (CO2) is the most important. - Warming will increase in future, if emissions of CO2 and other greenhouse gases maintain their present paths. “Business as usual” scenarios for future emissions lead to likely global temperature increases of up to six degrees above present temperatures by 2100. - Climate change cannot be reversed for many centuries, because of the massive heat stores in the world’s oceans. Even if CO2 and other greenhouse gas concentrations were stabilised today at their present levels, a further warming of at least 0.6 degrees would inevitably follow (on top of the 0.8 degrees observed since 1850) and sea-level rise would continue for centuries to millenniums. These four conclusions have been known and agreed among thousands of independent climate scientists for more than a decade. However, new findings suggest that the situation is, if anything, more serious than the assessment of just a few years ago.

Researchers have come up with a new method to find aggressively different tumors that need to be taken care of more rapidly than normal cancer growths — a discovery that may lead the way for novel cures and approaches against such cancers. The study findings which can be read in the journal Nature Communications revealed that cancer cells usually differ in the number of versions of single gene or chromosome existing in their genome — a process known as copy number alterations or CNAs. The study also observed that even within the exact same tumor, cells that are from different anatomical parts of the lump may come with various CNAs. The researchers comprised a very diverse team including those from Karolinska Institutet in Sweden, who said that tumors that hosted CNAs were generally very volatile and evolved more often, even after harsh treatments. So they created a new method called CUTseq, which can test the quantity and type of CNAs across various parts of the same tumor, at a reasonably cheap cost than the prevalent technologies. “Multi-region tumor pattern finding is going to be highly used in diagnostic settings. It is essential to know patients with increased heterogeneous tumors that need to be taken care of more aggressively. It is my opinion that our process is capable of a leading role here,” said Nicola Crosetto, co-author of the study from Karolinska Institute. Applications of CUTseq go way more than merely being confined to cancer diagnostics, said the researchers behind the new tech. “For instance, CUTseq is capable of being used as a platform for cell line authentication and to look at and observe genome capability in huge cell line repositories and biobanks,” said Magda Bienko, a senior researcher at the same department. “It could also be used in ecology, as the other option to various reduced representation genome patterning methods, like the RAD-seq, to assess biodiversity in a much cheaper way,” Bienko added.

Four days ago we made some little rooting containers from plastic water bottle tops stuck onto lids to keep them stable. They work really well! We put a red onion in one positioned so the base was nearly touching the water. Four days later and it looks like this! Children of all ages will learn such a lot from just this simple activity but let them find out for themselves by observation and careful questioning. Get them to predict. To investigate. Suggest their own experiments. How far this goes depends on the developmental stage of the child but don’t underestimate. Children are capable of understanding and absorbing a lot more than we think! Take photos or draw the vegetables at different stages. Take measurements of the shoot and the root and the girth of the onion bulb at the beginnng and every three or four days. Make charts to show the difference. Compare the growth of the plant with our growth. What we need to grow. Where we get food from. Where does the food for the plant come from? Ask questions and use the question words. What? Where? Why? How? What’s happened to the water? The roots? The shoots? The onion bulb ? Will this work with other veg.? With pieces of veg? What will happen if we root two of the same veg. but positioned differently. Ask them to look carefully at the veg. first and to predict where the roots will grow. Why do plants grow roots? If you turn the onion/potato etc round what will happen to the roots? Try and see. Why are roots white and shoots green? Do shoots always grow up and roots down? How can we find out? Why has the bulb shrunk? Now try this!

What is Listeria? Listeria is a bacterium that causes a serious infection called listeriosis. Around 300 deaths are caused by Listeria infection each year, according to estimates from a 2011 CDC report. Listeria bacteria are most commonly found in raw foods. Vegetables can be contaminated by soil and water carrying bacteria. Listeria is also found in raw animal products, such as meat and cheese. Healthy adults and children hardly ever become seriously ill from Listeria. However, people at increased risk of illness from Listeria bacteria include: - Pregnant women - People with weak immune systems - People with cancer, diabetes, or kidney disease - People with AIDS – People with AIDS are 300 times more likely to get sick from Listeria than people with normal immune systems - People who take gluticocorticosteroids such as cortisone - Elderly people What is the illness caused by Listeria typically like? Listeria symptoms appear anywhere between 3 and 70 days after infection, but usually around 21 days later. Typical symptoms include fever, muscle aches, nausea, or diarrhea. If infection spreads to the central nervous system, symptoms can include headache, stiff neck, confusion, loss of balance, and convulsions. Listeria bacteria can invade the central nervous system and cause meningitis or a brain infection. Symptoms for Pregnant Women and Newborns Infected pregnant woman experience mild, flu-like symptoms. However, infection during pregnancy can lead to miscarriage, infection of the newborn, or stillbirth. Symptoms usually appear in newborns in the first week of life, but can also occur later on. A newborn’s Listeria symptoms are often subtle, and include irritability, fever, and poor feeding. You can learn more about Listeria food poisoning at FoodborneIllness.com.

What are our senses? Students will usually name taste, smell, touch, seeing and hearing. As you walk, tell them about another sense: proprioreception - the sense of knowing where your body parts are. Receptors in your muscles and tendons send signals to your brain to compute where your body is at any given moment. First explore what it is like to be without the sense of sight. Visual deprivation activity. Optional: give students environments to smell, to see if they can guess what they are e.g. soil and rotting leaves from a forest floor; sand and seaweed from a beach. Discuss how smells are complicated and are mixtures of a lot of things, and how they evoke memories. Smell and taste work together Jelly bean taste test activity Discuss how smell works. Look at taste buds on students' tongues, and discuss how taste works. Finally, experiment further with receptors for touch: There are many different kinds of touch receptors: touch, temperature, pain. Touch test to find out how far apart touch receptors are. Temperature sensing activity. See other lesson plans for a focus on one sense: smells, eyes. touch test not done with isas senses lesson, as activity done already previously with one student

Kitti's Hog-Nosed Bat: Craseonycteridae Physical Characteristics, Behavior And Reproduction, Conservation StatusGEOGRAPHIC RANGE, HABITAT, DIET, KITTI'S HOG-NOSED BATS AND PEOPLE Kitti's hog-nosed bats were once found only in Thailand. Most of these bat populations were located in Sai Yok National Park. In 2001 a second population of bumblebee bats was found in a cave in Myanmar. Bumblebee bats have been found deep inside small, remote limestone caves, caves formed by water dissolving calcium carbonate rock. Hog-nosed bats appear to prefer caves with multiple chambers and domed roofs located near rivers or areas with water. Kitti's hog-nosed bats feed on insects, including spiders, beetles, small flies, wasps, and bark lice. They hunt their prey (animals they eat) through echolocation (eck-oh-loh-KAY-shun), a technique in which the bats emit high-pitched sounds that bounce off objects. The bats then detect the objects around them by listening to the sounds' echoes. These sounds are too high pitched for humans to hear. People have caused the population of hog nosed bats to decline by disturbing their habitats and food supplies. Much of the areas around the bats' caves have been cleared for agriculture. Recreation and tourism are also reasons for the disruption of the bat's habitat and the resulting decline in population. - Rodents: Rodentia - Physical Characteristics, Habitat, Diet, Behavior And Reproduction, Rodents And People - GEOGRAPHIC RANGE, CONSERVATION STATUS - Echidnas: Tachyglossidae - Physical Characteristics, Diet, Behavior And Reproduction, Echidnas And People, Short-beaked Echidna (tachyglossus Aculeatus): Species Account - GEOGRAPHIC RANGE, HABITAT, CONSERVATION STATUS - Kitti's Hog-Nosed Bat: Craseonycteridae - Physical Characteristics - Kitti's Hog-Nosed Bat: Craseonycteridae - Behavior And Reproduction - Kitti's Hog-Nosed Bat: Craseonycteridae - Conservation Status - Other Free Encyclopedias

Who can undergo this type of examination? Osteopathy is a way of detecting, treating and preventing problems caused by an individual’s muscles and joints. It extends to detecting functional disorders of the spine, musculoskeletal system, digestive system and autonomic nervous system. Certain problematic areas include: neck, shoulder, lower back, hips, legs, and pelvis. Osteopathy uses physical manipulation to relieve any muscle tension. By increasing the mobility of the joints, blood can flow freely and smoothly throughout the body, ensuring proper healing and treating certain health conditions. Why undergo this type of examination? Osteopathy approach was founded in Humanitas, under the Department of Recovery and Functional Rehabilitation, headed by Dr. Stephen Respizzi. This approach strives to meet the patient’s needs and ensure a personal method to restoring function in the body by treating causes of pain and imbalance. The goal is to achieve functional recovery as soon as possible and return the individual to their normal, healthy state. In addition, there is also the possibility of assuming and developing new scientific findings in this area. Osteopathy, through the proper use of osteopathic medicine, shared principles, diagnosis and therapies with conventional medicine, strives to show the linkage between osteopathic physician and conventional medicine. The added value is the attention to functional diagnosis and treatment through the method mediation body whenever possible. This approach is aimed to identify whether the limits of mobility affecting structural elements of the body, can influence the patient’s condition. The treatment is very synergistic and complementary to work done by other specialists such as neurosurgeons, physiatrists, and rheumatologists – as it has been the experience of the Humanitas Medicine Service for over 10 years. What does this type of examination entail? The examination begins by firstly evaluating and monitoring the results obtained by an osteopathic physiatrist in an effort to: - Identify contraindications absolute/relative to treatment - Choose any other complementary therapies (such as physiotherapy treatment, individual rehabilitation project) - Compare results with physiotherapists on osteopathic techniques and methods best suitable to the individual’s specific needs and treatment The examination continues on a path towards primary care/treatment from an osteopathic physiotherapist in close collaboration with a physiatrist, in order to evaluate the results obtained and determine the most appropriate form of treatment.

| Heraldry of the World The main resource for civic heraldry since 1996 with 254,146 images |The National Arms of Nauru||The National Flag||Location| There are 14 districts in the Republic of Nauru. Each one consists of a number of traditional villages, many of which are uninhabited or destroyed nowadays. None of the districts or villages does use arms, neither does the capital Yaren. The National Arms of Nauru The upper half of the arms show the alchemic symbol of phosphorous, as phosphorous mining has been the main economic activity during the 20th century. The lower half shows a frigate bird and a local Tomano flower. Both indicate the nature of the island. The arms are surrounded by two coconut palm leaves and symbols used by local Chiefs. The cross above the shield is derived from the flag. The motto is God's Will First.

The variable air volume dump bypass air system supplies a constant volume of air at a constant pressure and temperature in a single run of duct. Dump bypass boxes supply air to the ceiling mounted air diffusers throughout the building. The volume of air delivered by the supply fan is set at a constant volume. The air handling fan should be sufficient to maintain a minimum operating pressure at all control boxes. Operating at higher duct static pressure than necessary wastes energy and results in a higher noise level at the control boxes due to throttling. Wall mounted thermostats sensing zone temperature, regulate the volume of air allowed to enter the controlled area through the above suspended ceiling mounted variable volume air control boxes. On a call for cooling, the vav bypass system delivers an increased volume of air to the zone. Full cooling is the maximum air flow that the box is set to deliver. Minimum cooling, is the minimum air flow that the control is set to deliver. The minimum air flow is usually 25% of maximum air flow and ensures that there is ventilating air available for the occupants during the heating season. Some rooms such as conference and interior training rooms have bypass boxes with electric reheat coils and usually require a higher minimum air flow to ensure safe operating conditions. When the VAV dump bypass system boxes are in the minimum position, air is bypassed to the above suspended ceiling space. Each box is equipped with a bypass balancing damper at the top. This balancing damper should be set, ensuring that too much air does not bypass to the ceiling space. This ensures other boxes are not deprived of their required supply air. Perimeter thermostats also control pneumatic control valves for the perimeter hot water heating system. The return air fan which draws air back from the space provides the return link in the air circulation for the zone. The air system is comprised of the: Return from VAV bypass to homepage

Early STEM Award 2020 - NT winner Starting from a suggestion by a senior Yolngu elder at Yirrkala Preschool, children and educators worked collaboratively to gather an understanding about homes for people and animals, including traditional Yolngu homes. This project combined a maths focus by looking at shapes in the environment, a science focus on discovering different habitats and an environmental focus on learning about the relationship between the plants, animals and humans. In their indoor and outdoor learning environments, the children explored collaboratively which materials they could use and which shapes worked best for their constructions and thought about who was going to live in them. Block construction, the sand-pit and an excursion to the primary school students’ shelters helped the children develop their ideas. Cultural aspects included children’s Homelands and dividing the local flora and fauna into their two moiety groups, Dhuwa and Yirritja and what homes they lived in. The children discussed their ideas in yarning circles and drew pictures of their houses to explain their understanding. Their inquiry finished with the children collaborating with each other, the teachers and parents to complete a small home for toys and a large home for themselves. Building a future on tradition The award panel felt that the project came from the heart and loved its different approach and world view. This authentic, community-involved project was an inspiring, joyful read that left the panel feeling some of the elements of a deep personal connection and sense of home. Thank you for taking us on a discovery journey that fully embraced community and the environment.

Statistics from Altmetric.com Ocular infections caused by Moraxella sp have an interesting social history, often with somewhat unsavoury associations. To begin with, Moraxella is a true ophthalmic pathogen, an “eye bug” par excellence that can occasionally be found colonising the nasopharynx and on other mucous membranes,1 although rarely causing infections in other parts of the body. Originally isolated by Morax2 and Axenfeld3 in 1896 and 1897, respectively, from patients with angular blepharitis, the organism was at first called the diplobacillus of Morax–Axenfeld, and later came to be known as M lacunata. In 1899, Petit4 isolated a similar organism from a central corneal ulcer that he called, not surprisingly, the diplobacillus of Petit. This organism was later renamed M liquefaciens. A third species was also isolated, M nonliquefaciens, which was felt to be more benign, rarely causing keratitis or severe ocular infections. These rather arbitrary divisions into different species were based on the degree of liquefaction produced by the organisms when they were inoculated on to coagulated human serum, known as Loeffeler’s medium. In 1900, Moraxella sp was reported by several authors to be the most common cause of conjunctivitis in Europe.5 But by the middle of the century, Thygeson and Kimura,6 Jones et al7 and others reported that the organism could be cultured in ⩽1% of all cases of conjunctivitis, an apparent dramatic decline in the prevalence of Moraxella ocular infections in the population. The organism was down but still not out. A common view at the time was that different species of the organism selectively grew only in specific areas of the external eye. Angular blepharitis was thought to … Competing interests: None declared.

Intermittent vagus nerve stimulation can reduce the frequency of seizures in patients with refractory epilepsy. Stimulation of vagus nerve afferent fibers can also cause vocal cord dysfunction, laryngeal spasm, cough, dyspnea, nausea, and vomiting. Vagus nerve stimulation causes an increase in respiratory rate, decrease in respiratory amplitude, decrease in tidal volume, and decrease in oxygen saturation during periods of device activation. It usually does not cause an arousal, or a change in heart rate or blood pressure. Most patients have an increase in their apnea-hypopnea index (AHI). Patients with VNS can have central apneas, obstructive hypopneas, and obstructive apneas. These respiratory events can be reduced with changes in the vagus nerve stimulator operational parameters or with the use of CPAP. In summary, there are complex relationships between epilepsy and obstructive sleep apneas. In particular, patients with refractory epilepsy need assessment for undiagnosed and untreated obstructive sleep apnea before implantation of vagus nerve stimulator devices. Patients with vagus nerve stimulators often have an increase in apneic events after implantation, and these patients need screening for sleep apnea both before and after implantation. Keywords: Vagus nerve stimulator; dysphonia; seizure disorder; sleep apnea.

Driving range, safety, and cost remain the biggest hurdles in the way of mass electric vehicle (EV) adoption. Innovative approaches to EV battery manufacturing present the opportunity to maximize stored energy relative to the weight of EVs, allowing for up to three times the driving range. These new battery chemistries and designs prevent overheating, are immune to catastrophic failure, and can be incorporated into the structure of a vehicle to improve strength in some cases. Much of this can be accomplished at a 30% lower cost compared to conventional batteries, thus bolstering widespread adoption of EVs. Project Innovation + Advantages: Bettergy is developing an inexpensive battery that uses a novel combination of solid, non-flammable materials to hold a greater amount of energy for use in EVs. Conventional EV batteries are typically constructed using costly materials and require heavy, protective components to ensure safety. Consequently, these heavy battery systems require the car to expend more energy, leading to reduced driving range. Bettergy will research a battery design that utilizes low-cost energy storage materials to reduce costs, and solid, non-flammable components that will not leak to improve battery safety. Bettergy plans to do this while reducing the battery weight for greater efficiency so vehicles can drive further on a single charge. If successful, Bettergy’s solid-state battery would reduce battery costs up to 5 times, reducing overall vehicle costs through its use of inexpensive materials and versatile placement options. The mass adoption of EVs would diminish the demand for petroleum, dramatically reducing U.S. dependence on foreign oil. Greater use of EVs would reduce U.S. greenhouse gas emissions, 28% of which come from the transportation sector. Technological advancements from the RANGE program could enable EVs to travel significantly further on a single charge at a much lower cost than that of current EVs and conventional vehicles.

To detect the flux of muons, which will tell us how many of the muons coming from the space are still “alive” per second, we will build a cloud chamber. A cloud chamber is a simple particles detector that thanks to a supersaturated atmosphere of vapor of alcohol can keep track of the charge particles that cross the detector. We will use an open cell polyethylene foam which is a very good insulator not only for heat but also for humidity and pressure. We will use also the same material to protect the cloud chamber from the others subsystems inside the module. Rubber bumpers will be also used to protect the cloud chamber from vibrations, temperature and from the shock when the landing. The cloud chamber will be build using aluminium for the structure and polycarbonate for the faces. Aluminium has a very high thermal conductivity which is very important in order to create the thermal gradient and polycarbonate is transparent and a very strong material. We are searching for different companies that work with this kind of materials to build the cloud chamber. There will be also sponges on the top of cloud chamber that will contain the alcohol. For the cold source we will use dry ice. Another important feature of the cloud chamber is its height. In our case there will be a gradient of 5.3 degrees per centimetre which is under the threshold needed for supersaturation that is 3.6 degrees per centimetre. During the ascent phase and float, we will record and downlink images of what is happening inside the chamber considering always at which altitude are they taken.

The Brazilian Central Bank recently announced that it has created a NEW $200 Real Bill, which will go into circulation by the end of August 2020. Up to this month and since the introduction of the Real Currency on June 1st, 1994, the highest valued currency bill in Brazil was $100 Reais, and the lowest valued coin was 1 cent of Real. However, given the inflation accumulated over the years, Brazil no longer produces the 1 cent coin as it is too costly to produce. And, the buying power of Real has diminished considerably. To be exact, taking inflation in consideration, $100 Reais 26 years ago equals to $620 Reais today according to SuperApril.com Given the Pandemic, The BC of Brazil is taking measures to make sure that there is enough cash in circulation to attend to the population needs. Unlike many developing countries that have easily digitized their relief efforts for the 2020 Pandemic; Brazil is still a country with difficult digital access, with many places lacking internet accessibility. Also, the majority of the population in Brazil is currently un-banked hence the strong need for Physical Cash. "BRRRRAZIL"! This video is all about my take on the new $200 Real bill, and my historical perspective growing up in Brazil and truly experiencing Inflation daily. Truly surreal to think that in my lifetime Brazil had 6 different currencies implemented and issued. So How about the US? How long do you think the penny will last? Are you feeling the impacts of inflation? Let me know your thoughts on the comments below! All my best,

Thank you to all who attended the Open House with Exhibit and Speakers on Saturday, March 30. Angola was a community of freedom seekers in the 1810s located between the Manatee River and Sarasota Bay. It was a place of refuge and peace until it was destroyed in a massive slave raid in 1821. What were the events that brought the freedom seekers to the Manatee River? What happened to those who were captured, and those who escaped? Attendees of this event viewed the first permanent exhibit that tells the story. They also heard three lectures by researchers who helped uncover this history and designate the site as part of the National Park Service Underground Railroad Network to Freedom. Willard Steele: The Negro Fort- Where the Underground Railroad met the Trail of Tears Dr. Uzi Baram: Tragedy and Survival: Archaeology and Commemoration of Freedom at the Manatee River Judith Wellman: The Underground Railroad Network to Freedom “Funding for this program was provided through a grant from the Florida Humanities Council with funds from the National Endowment for the Humanities.

Quills were one of the dominant forms of writing throughout the Medieval period. Made from the feathers of common birds, like geese and ducks, quills were easy to make and worked brilliantly well. Monks living in monasteries, like the Abbey of St Mary's in Furness, would use quills on a daily basis to write copies of scripture while sat in the Cloister Range. At our upcoming event, Life in the Past, during our Meet the Monks day (7th June, 11am - 5pm) you can have a go at writing with one of these wonderful writing implements. This is how such a quill is made: Take a feather, the one I am using is a white duck feather. You then can cut away some of the feather's barbs (the main body of the feather). I leave some at the top, mostly for decoration. Now it's time to start shaping the nib of the quill, the bit that will do the writing and hold the ink. Feathers have a hollow shaft towards the bottom, this is perfect for creating an ink well which will hold the ink while writing. It's time to cut the end. Take a sharp knife and take an angled cut down towards the end of the shaft. Following this cut again in a steeper angle nearer the end and shape the nib. Once the nib has been shaped cut a slit down the centre of the nib. This will allow the ink to flow down the shaft to the parchment. Once this has been done you have a new, working, quill. Ready for writing with. Feather Quills are wonderful implements to write with. It really makes you appreciate the art of writing, that is of course if you can write. In our time not everyone was literate or able to write. Monks were well educated and wrote everyday but peasants would, mostly, never write or read. 800 years ago this year, in 1215, the Magna Carta was written with feather pens just like this! Come see us on the 7th of June at Furness Abbey to have a go writing with one of these quills at our Meet the Monks display and discover what life was like for Monks in the 13th Century. You can also come and see us at our Meet the Peasants day on the 6th June to learn more about life in the 12th Century.

In the field of political and religious ideals, the concept of extremism is used to refer to positions that are radical and far from a moderate stance. In the philosophical, scientific and cultural context, this label is also used to refer to approaches that are far from conventional currents. In addition to this context that can be used, usually the idea of extremism has negative connotations, since it is associated with revolutionary movements or intolerant positions. Obviously, from the extremists’ point of view, their positions are fair and sensible. In this sense, we are facing a relative concept that arouses some controversy. extremism In relation to the policy In each historical context there are some policy approaches that serve as a reference for all citizens. In today’s world, there are a number of political formations that form a moderate space, such as democracy social , Christian democracy and liberal parties. Thus, when a person or a group has ideas that go beyond what is established, their approaches are considered extremist. Although this term is ambiguous, identifies certain collective: movements ecologists or animalistic, groups neo-Nazi or extreme right, anti – capitalist revolutionary movements, etc. extremism in the religious context Most religions have different currents. Thus, Catholicism is a moderate current within Christianity, but some Christian groups are considered radical and therefore extremist. The same applies to Islam, a religion in which certain groups are supporters of terrorism to impose their doctrines. The paradigm case of evolutionism In the late nineteenth century Darwin’s ideas about the evolution of species were considered an extreme proposition. His approach meant that the human species was subject to the same mechanisms as other animal species. Understandably, their ideas were in an extreme position at the time, as for centuries it was believed that man was created by God. Over the years, evolutionism was accepted as a valid theory. As a result , new extremists have emerged: religious groups that deny the theory of evolution. extremism The example of evolutionism illustrates the phenomenon of extremism. Thus, one’s extreme position is, in principle, neither positive nor negative, but depends on other considerations: the notion of normality in each historical moment. In this way, everything that deviates from supposed normality is labeled as extremist. extremism

CO2 OUT OF SIGHT, NOT OUT OF MIND: PERCEPTION OF CARBON CAPTURE AND STORAGE RISKS As the CO2 concentration in the atmosphere peaked in 2016, limiting the global temperature increase to only 2 degrees might become unattainable. Although the energy transition is well under way, phasing out fossil fuels might take many decades due to the growing energy demand worldwide. The good news is, there might be a surprising solution which lies where the fossil fuels come from – deep underground. Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) technology can deliver 12% of the cumulative reduction of emissions required by 2050. This technology allows to do exactly what the name says: capture, transport (if required) and securely store CO2, usually several kilometers underground, at a suitable location chosen by geologists. The gas is then pumped into a reservoir with an impenetrable cap rock – often the same reservoir that was keeping the oil and gas in place for millions of years. Like any technology, it comes with risks, the main one being a CO2 leakage. An abrupt leakage might be dangerous for the local community, because high concentrations of CO2 pose health risks. Research shows that the probability of such an event is extremely small and it is very unlikely to cause harm to people or local flora and fauna. Nonetheless, the technology is still perceived as unacceptably risky by many, which might stem from the behavioral biases we possess. CCS does not claim to be the ultimate solution that would stop climate change once and for all, but it seems to be the necessary stepping stone to a net zero emission world.

Financial security is an important concept for everyone, but its especially necessary for college students to be aware of this concept given the events of the last few months. Fortunately, there’s a lot that can be done to improve college students’ awareness of financial security. The first step is to take charge of your finances. This is a good idea at any time, but it’s especially necessary now and in the months to come. The next step is to either create a budget or revamp yours if you already have one. This will help you get a handle on whatever cutbacks you have to make, and it may help you identify areas where you can make money and improve your financial security. Once you’ve done that, evaluate your savings account, or start one if you’ve neglected savings to date. Look for secure places to open one that offer the best interest rate, and be frugal with your savings to start. Another area where your financial security can be improved is student loans. Currently, no payments are required on all federal direct student loans, and these loans have a zero percent interest rate until the end of September. If you’ve lost your job due to a campus closure, don’t panic. Check with your individual college to see if there are resources available that are directly related to this. On a different front, if you’ve already been smart enough to start a retirement account, look into possible options that may increase your financial security. Several choices may be available, and these include a college 529 plan or a taxable brokerage account. In addition, you should consider a Roth IRA, which gives you the opportunity to withdraw contributions and deposits tax-free without paying any fees if you have an emergency. Finally, understand that there is financial help available. Colleges are doing everything they can to help students weather the current economic storm, and that includes helping college students’ awareness of financial security. You might be surprised at the benefits you’ll be able to find, and in the process, you’ll learn more about how to understand and control your finances in the future.

Tokyo, June 12 (IANS/EFE) A team of Japanese scientists have discovered that dogs tend to shun people who are unfriendly or unkind towards their owners, Japanese economic daily Nikkei reported on Friday. The group, led by Kazuo Fujita, a professor at Kyoto University, conducted an experiment involving dogs, their owners and two strangers. The scientists used 54 dogs aged between seven months and 14 years who they divided into three groups of 18 each. In one of the trials, the dog’s owner pretended to have trouble opening the lid of a box. He then asked one of the other two people for help. This person refused to do so and looked away. After this scene was played out, the two unfamiliar people offered food to the dog. Eleven out of the 18 canines refused to take the food. This exercise was done with each of the dogs four times. Fujita explained that the results show that dogs react to people’s behaviour towards their owners and that the study could contribute to gaining an understanding into dogs’ behaviour, the newspaper said. In the second experiment, the person who was asked for help took the box to open the lid. However, the team explained that it was not possible to confirm whether the dogs preferred the person who cooperated or not. In the third group, none of the people interacted. The team, that now wants to conduct the experiment with cats, told Nikkei that monkeys too exhibit similar behaviour.

Most of people would like to worship the successful people, imitate their behaviour, understand the past of them, study every word that they had said, and they will try to be the successful people who they like. However, most of people are failure, you should know about what’s psychological “survivorship bias”. Survivorship bias or survival bias is a common logical fallacy, which means that you only see the results of a certain screening without realising the screening process. Therefore, you have ignored the critical information that has been screened out. In general, we will only pay attention to the result, rarely pay attention to the process. All or most of the information we rely on to analyse the problem comes from “significant information”, less consideration of “non-significant information”, or even ignoring “silent information”. Some people mentioned with regards to Steve Job’s “follow your dreams” advice. You hear that a lot from successful people, but what you don’t hear are the catastrophic stories of those who followed their dreams. Behind one successful story, there were exist thousand to million case of failures you never thought. If you count how many success stories you see in life compared to stories that who had failed. You will see that most people fail even when they are qualified to be successful except for luck. The story of a successful person can only be used as a reference because nobody knows how many times he/she has failed before success, and people prefer to see the results in fact. Accordingly, this has caused many people to think that if they follow the successful person’s practice, then they do it again they can also succeed. In short, advice from successful people is always pretty, because most people only remember the part of success, then ignore the process. And that is because of survivorship bias. (Read Wiki for more detailed information) Everyone wants to be rich, but not everyone can succeed, before you thinking about this, you should change yourself… Some people do nothing, to find reasons for their excuse, however, there is no button in life to undo the failure or regret… Website design is a good job? Recently, internet design demand growth really, however, that’s not mean people need a web designer. Life’s full of choice, especially during graduation. You may anxiety about what comes next, keep study or career…

China has to relocate almost 10,000 people from the vicinity of the world’s largest radio telescope that is building, to guarantee its effectiveness. The 500 meters in diameter Five-hundred-meter Aperture Spherical Telescope (FAST), will be completed in September, surpassing the Arecibo radio observatory in Puerto Rico, which is 305 meters in diameter. Its 460,000 reflective mirrors will reflect radio signals in a 30-ton antenna. The Five hundred meter Aperture Spherical Telescope (FAST) is a radio telescope under construction located in a natural basin, in Pingtang County, Guizhou Province, southwest China. Construction on the FAST project began in 2011 and is scheduled for completion by September 2016. It will be the world’s largest and most sensitive radio telescope and three times more sensitive than the Arecibo Observatory. It will have a cost of around 110 million US dollars at the time. FAST will have an effective dish size of 300 m (compared to Arecibo’s effective diameter of 200 m). It will be capable of covering the sky within 40° from the zenith (compared to Arecibo’s 20° range). via The Guardian

Sorghum is a staple food crop for many low-income households in East Africa community. It is typically grown by small-scale, resource-poor farmers and is mainly used for home consumption. As the only cereal species indigenous to EAC, sorghum is produced throughout much of Rwanda, even in areas with low agricultural potential. Sorghum can grow any from sea level to 2,500 meters above sea level and requires a minimum rainfall of 250 mm per year and a minimum temperature of 10C. There are fundamental reasons of selecting Sorghum as major selling products at EAX: - Sorghum producers and traders can store their productions for a period of up to 9 months, therefore improve their selling strategies. - Sorghum plays an important role in food for women and children in many African countries. Millers and food processors are increasingly looking at Sorghum for food processing activities. - It easy to store. EAX strategy is to sell highest quality of Sorghum within the region. EAX Sorghum is stored, graded, cleaned, re-bagged or packaged in accordance to EAC standards. Sorghum that EAX warehouses management allow to receive should have the moisture content of at least 13 Sorghum is then serviced with high quality fumigation technics to keep it free from weavers, insects or any other foreign matter. Traded Sorghum commodity standard for EAX Sorghum is Sorghum (SG) grouped into 4 different grading standards: - SG1 : Sorghum Grade 1 - SG2 : Sorghum Grade 2 - SG3 : Sorghum Grade 3 - SG4 : Sorghum Grade 4

The buyer decision process is for when a consumer faces a new and complex purchase situation. The first step is need recognition. The need can begin when someone either sees and advertisement or talks with a friend and it triggers the need. The second step is Information Search. An interested consumer may or may not search for more information on a product. If a consumer’s drive is strong and a satisfying product is at hand, the consumer is more likely to buy the product. The third step is evaluation of alternatives. This is how the consumer process information to arrive at brand choices, and its how a consumer makes a choice of buying one product over maybe two others. The fourth step is purchase decision. This is when the consumer purchase decision will be the brand the prefer. It’s when someone tells you it would be better to buy the lowest priced car, and your chances of buying an expensive car are reduced. Post purchase behavior is the fifth step in the buyer process. This happens after the consumer has bought the product, they decide whether the brand is satisfying. For a Victoria’s Secret consumer buys a Pink brand such as a hoodie the consumer does goes through the buyer decision process. At first the consumer has to have a need for a new hoodie. Their drive for buying a new hoodie might be its cold outside, and would a like a new hoodie to keep warm. They then, would research about Pink hoodies, the consumer may have a friend who has one of the hoodie

Latest Nutrition, Food & Recipes News "Mindful eating practices promote awareness of experiences related to the desire to eat, actual sensations of hunger, fullness, satisfaction and enjoyment," study author Jennifer Daubenmier, from the University of California, San Francisco, said in a university news release. The other half of the study group followed a program focused on "mindful eating." This group was taught to be "present" while eating and to be aware of the thoughts and emotions related to the experience. This program also included meditation, yoga, breathing exercises, and the practice of being loving and kind to oneself and others, the researchers said. Both groups had similar weight loss. But six months after the program ended, people in the mindfulness group had greater improvements in triglyceride levels (a type of blood fat) and "good" (HDL) cholesterol levels. The mindfulness group also had lower blood sugar levels one year later, the study found. "High stress levels, sedentary lifestyles and availability of inexpensive high-calorie foods mean it is easy to fall into the habit of mindless eating. We often find ourselves overeating not because we're hungry, but because the food looks or tastes delicious, we're distracted or we wish to soothe away unpleasant feelings," Daubenmier said. "Practicing mindfulness can be effective in allowing us to recognize our patterns without judging ourselves, and to make more thoughtful food choices about when, what and how much to eat in ways that are both satisfying and healthy," she added. The mindfulness program didn't force participants to give up all high-calorie foods. However, it directed them to recognize cravings and allow them to pass. It also encouraged participants to savor their favorite guilty pleasures in smaller portions that wouldn't exceed their calorie goals, the study authors said. "Mindfulness training may promote sustained improvements in healthy eating that may contribute to better longer-term improvement in some aspects of metabolic health [when combined with a weight-loss program]," Daubenmier said. The study was published in the March issue of the journal Obesity. -- Mary Elizabeth Dallas Copyright © 2016 HealthDay. All rights reserved.

A framework agreement serves to establish common initial conditions for the contracts to be formalized on the basis of said framework agreement. In this way, it is intended to simplify the management of contracts, as well as facilitating adhesion to organizations or entities and Public Administrations. Organizations that need supplies or services from other companies will do so through contracts based. This selection will be made by means of a public tender and will meet the specific needs that are required. In the event that all the terms of the framework agreement are not defined, a second tender may be carried out, as long as it has been provided for in the framework agreement and the specific circumstances exist for it. The conditions that are adjusted to the contracting will have to be set by the organizations in question, set out in the bases of the framework agreement. The body will be in charge of evaluating the offers and proposing to the General Directorate of Rationalization and Centralization of Contracting that service or purchase of the company that best suits the needs. Types of framework agreement Finally, we are going to comment on the 2 types of framework agreements that exist: - Framework agreements that do NOT have all the terms or conditions set out in the framework agreement. For each contract, a second bid will be made, and the process that has been explained above will be carried out. Terms and conditions that were not pre-established will be specified. - With all the terms or conditions that were established in the framework agreement. A second tender is not carried out, although in some it is carried out to improve market conditions (which would not be achieved if said tender were not carried out).

Just in time for Valentine’s Day, librarians have reunited two important local history collections. This week, the acetate film and glass plate negatives, previously cared for by the librarians at the University of Maryland, Baltimore County, were transferred to Hornbake Library. Beginning this week, these resources will reside alongside their long lost companion, and one of our most popular collections, the Baltimore News American photo morgue, a collection of over 1 million photographs used during the publication run of the Baltimore’s now defunct News American. This massive task was undertaken by librarians from Special Collections and our Preservation Department. Thank you to all who helped! Following WWII, thousands of Lumbee Indians migrated from rural North Carolina to Baltimore City, in search of employment and a better quality of life. They settled on the east side of town, in an area that bridges the neighborhoods known as Upper Fells Point and Washington Hill. Today, most Baltimoreans would be surprised to learn that this area was once so densely populated by Indians that it was referred to as “the reservation.” In fact, an anthropologist who did fieldwork in the community during its heyday wrote that this was “perhaps the single largest grouping of Indians from the same tribe in an American urban area.” However, the area had been slated for Urban Renewal before most Lumbees ever arrived, and it has been included in various redevelopment projects ever since. There are but 2 active Lumbee community-owned sites remaining, where there were once more than 30, according to elders who were among the first to settle. Most of the sites have been repurposed or demolished in the years since. It is through archival research that the historic Lumbee community of East Baltimore can be mapped and reconstructed. Special Collections at University of Maryland College Park holds some of the most useful materials to this end. Featured photographs are from the Baltimore News American Photograph Collection.

Thanks to Madeline Weld for this article from Science Daily. See: http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2011/08/110824091146.htm Global Warming May Cause Higher Loss of Biodiversity Than Previously Thought ScienceDaily (Aug. 24, 2011) – If global warming continues as expected, it is estimated that almost a third of all flora and fauna species worldwide could become extinct. Scientists from the Biodiversity and Climate Research Centre (Biodiversität und Klima Forschungszentrum, BiK-F) and the SENCKENBERG Gesellschaft für Naturkunde discovered that the proportion of actual biodiversity loss should quite clearly be revised upwards: by 2080, more than 80 % of genetic diversity within species may disappear in certain groups of organisms, according to researchers in the title story of the journal Nature Climate Change. The study is the first world-wide to quantify the loss of biological diversity on the basis of genetic diversity. White branches show lost genetic lineages (no climatically suitable areas projected) in 2080 if global temperature increases by four degrees. (Credit: Copyright Miklos Bálint et al) Most common models on the effects of climate change on flora and fauna concentrate on “classically” described species, in other words groups of organisms that are clearly separate from each other morphologically. Until now, however, so-called cryptic diversity has not been taken into account. It encompasses the diversity of genetic variations and deviations within described species, and can only be researched fully since the development of molecular-genetic methods. As well as the diversity of ecosystems and species, these genetic variations are a central part of global biodiversity.

Our forested areas are shrinking at an alarming rate. The U.S. Forest Service estimates that more than 40 million acres of private forest could be lost in the next 40 years. Why is that important to us? As U.S. Department of Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack said, “While most Americans live in urban areas, most of us depend on rural lands, particularly forest lands, for clean water and a healthy climate.” One example of an urban area that depends on forested land for water is New York City. In the late 1990s, New York City leaders balked at a $6 billion water treatment system and instead opted to go with natural landscape management to clean the water it receives from the Catskill/Delaware watershed in upstate New York. The focus is on creating conservation easements along streams and reservoirs, and protecting forest lands to keep sediment and runoff from entering the water supply. The watershed provides most of New York City’s daily supply of drinking water, more than 1 billion gallons each day. New Yorkers enjoy some of the cleanest, healthiest drinking water in the world. Millions of Californians rely on crystal-clear water flowing from Plumas and other national forests to quench their thirst. Melting snow and rainwater flow from the Plumas into the Feather River and eventually wind up in the Sacramento River. Water from the Plumas relies on the entire ecosystem, which includes trees, to keep it pristine until it reaches taps throughout central and northern California. This is just one example of how our national forests help clean the water. These solutions are an alternative to manufactured water treatment systems, and are beneficial in so many ways. Unfortunately, the conventional response is too often to pay for expensive artificial treatment systems rather than rely on natural resources. One way to protect and clean our water supply is to plant trees, and the need to replant our nation’s forests is vitally important. The U.S. Forest Service has identified a backlog of 1 million acres in national forests alone that are in need of replanting because of damage from recent wildfires, insects and disease. There is no substitute for clean water. Water is a vital resource that we rely on every day. We can’t create something else to take its place. But we can plant trees. John Rosenow is founder and chief executive of the Arbor Day Foundation.

There is a significant community of Brazilians in Japan, consisting largely but not exclusively of Brazilians of Japanese ethnicity. They also constitute the largest number of Portuguese speakers in Asia, greater than those of formerly Portuguese East Timor and Macao combined. The largest numbers are concentrated in Toyota, Oizumi, where it is estimated that up to 15% of the population speaks Portuguese as their native language, and Hamamatsu, which contains the largest population of Brazilians in Japan. It is worth noting that Brazilians are not particularly concentrated in larger cities such as Tokyo or Osaka. Brazilians tend to be more concentrated where there are large factories. The Brazilian influence in Japan is growing. Tokyo has the largest carnival parade outside Brazil. Portuguese is the third most spoken foreign language in Japan, after Chinese and Korean, and is among the most studied languages by students in the country. Japan has two newspapers in the Portuguese language as well as Portuguese radio and television stations. The Brazilian fashion and Bossa Nova music are also popular among Japanese. The first Japanese immigrants arrived in Brazil in 1908. Brazil is home to the largest Japanese population outside of Japan and has been growing since the 1950s. The largest concentrations of Japanese people in Brazil are found in the states of São Paulo and Paraná. Liberdade is São Paulo’s own equivalent of Japantown in the USA.

From a runner’s perspective, staying adequately hydrated is important for two reasons. First, it’s critical to reaching one’s performance potential. Second, it’s the key to avoiding certain running-related health risks such as muscle cramping and heatstroke. It’s easy to stay properly hydrated, but many people forget that hydrating is important before, during, and after a treadmill workout. Hydrating Before a Workout Hydrating for a long run (longer than eight miles or so) actually requires a few days of preparation. For a few days before your run, drink plenty of water – enough that you feel the call of nature at least six times a day. Also, avoid alcoholic beverages and even caffeinated beverages if possible; these dehydrate the body. An hour before the run, drink about two to three cups (16 to 24 ounces) of water or an appropriate non-caffeinated sports beverage. Immediately before running, drink another few ounces or up to one cup. Drinking on the Go Generally speaking, a person needs to take in 4-6 ounces of fluid per 20 minutes of running. The longer the run, the more important it becomes that electrolytes are balanced with the aid of a sports drink; water isn’t enough after 90 minutes or so. Hydrating After the Run It’s important to rehydrate right after a run. About 20-24 ounces of fluid (water or a sports drink) should be taken in for each pound lost. Account for Individual Differences Keep in mind that the fluid recommendations above are only guidelines. For one thing, some people sweat more than others. You might also have different hydration needs when using a treadmill compared to when running outside. For example, your body might be cooled more easily outdoors than indoors because of the natural breeze – or it might heat up quickly because of the sunshine. To know your exact fluid requirements, approach the issue scientifically: weigh yourself before and after a treadmill run to determine how many of ounces of water you lose per hour.

LA 1.4: Considering a Framework for Meeting the Needs of My Students |Learning Outcome||Pedagogical Intent||Student Position| Understand and apply knowledge of how cultural identities impact language learning and school success by creating an environment that is inclusive of all students. Assessment: 25 pts. TA: 45 Minutes Teachers can use the Inclusive Pedagogy framework to create an inclusive environment for each student and to increase the use of best practices of ESL instruction Students have thought about how to understand cultural diversity in their classroom and are now prepared to learn about a framework that will help them create inclusive learning environments for ELs and other learners. Review the Inclusive Pedagogy framework in the link. Pay attention to the Five Characteristics, Goal Questions, and Reflection for Change Questions. Divide the students into five groups and assign each group one of the characteristics from the articles in the TELL TOOLS book https://equitypress.org/-MbEt. Each group will read the materials and discuss the content of the standard along with the Goal Questions, and Reflection for Change Question. The group will then plan a 5-minute presentation for the class reviewing the characteristic and content including personal examples from their own teaching and suggestions for teachers. Note: Inclusive Pedagogy is the Framework for one of the capstone projects which is a portfolio. Each section of the portfolio represents a different Inclusive Pedagogy characteristic. The section will include an artifact that demonstrates your understanding of the characteristic with a brief description of the artifact and how it relates to the characteristic, and your personal response to the reflection for change question. End-of-Chapter Survey: How would you rate the overall quality of this chapter? - Very Low Quality - Low Quality - Moderate Quality - High Quality - Very High Quality

While the effort to modify Alzheimer disease pathology by reducing the production of beta amyloid protein has largely been ineffective, there is a range of evidence that a widely used class of antihypertensive drug could provide a surprising benefit. Calcium antagonists are some of the most widely prescribed drugs for controlling blood pressure currently on the market, where they have been used for over 30 years. They include a heterogeneous range of chemical types, from the dihydropyridines like nitrendipine to the structurally different diltiazem and verapamil classes. Amongst the various types of calcium channel, these drugs are selective for the L-type or Ca(v)1.2 channel. Looking at the central beta amyloid hypothesis, studies have shown that Ca(v)1.2 channel blockers in vitro attenuates beta amyloid oligomer toxicity by suppressing calcium influx into cytoplasm and by suppressing Ca(v)1.2 expression. These studies have been extended into in vivo models, using triple transgenic animals, where calcium blockers of the dihydropyridine subtype are able to cross the blood brain barrier and exert pharmacologically significant effects. But most interestingly, analysis of elderly patients who have been prescribed these drugs for treatment of high blood pressure have shown better performance in memory tests compared to other types of antihypertensive drugs. Clearly this is an area that deserves further exporation.

Monte Sant'Angelo - Sanctuary of San Michele Arcangelo, 7th century AD The Sanctuary of San Michele Arcangelo is one of the most complete surviving Early Medieval sacred sites, distinguished by historical and religious continuity, and an unceasing stream of visitors that remains constant to the present day. In 650, after being defeated by the Byzantines, the Lombards of the duchy of Benevento took possession of the Gargano, where they established the cult of the Archangel Michael – particularly favoured by the Lombards and similar to the pagan god Wodan, considered by Germanic peoples the supreme god, god of war, ferryman of souls and protector of heroes and warriors. The main parts of the sanctuary as it is now, the 'Angevin' nave and the cave, merge together to great effect. In the second half of the 7th and the 8th century extensive work was carried out in the sanctuary, funded by the Lombard dukes: a new staircase was built that led to the altar of the footprints and reached the walkway to the large church, the current cave, which was flanked by a new monumental staircase that started from the original entrance. At the same time, the monumental stairway was connected to a gallery about 40 metres long, which served as temporary accommodation for pilgrims. These religiously-motivated human interventions that altered the form of the natural cave, and the numerous writings conserved on the sanctuary walls – about two hundred, incised and scratched – allow the history of this extraordinary place of diverse encounters to be reconstructed.

We hear about it all the time... parents are restricting their kids riding bikes on our roads due to the fear of safety. In the '70s, 8 out of 10 kids rode to school. Now, its only 2 out of 10. Cars seem to rule our roads but it doesn't have to be that way. This brilliant advertising campaign in America, that was started by local advocacy group Bike Pittsburgh , and now has been rolled out nationally in the USA by People For Bikes . It reminds us that those on bikes might sometimes seem faceless when we are driving beside them, but they are kids, mums, dads, sisters, brothers, nurses, teachers, and so on - all ordinary members of our community. We need to be reminded of this more and more so that we can encourage our kids to ride more. The Travel With Care campaign from People for Bikes Campaign is aimed at humanizing people on bikes and encouraging better behavior among drivers and bike riders. We've written before about how to encouage your kids to ride to school but more and more, what we need is our community encouraging drivers to respect riders as real people going about their daily lives. On another note, this TEDxZurich talk about Bicycle Culture by Design by Mikael Colville-Andersen is by a Dad about how cars and bikes do/could/should share our roads around the world. He gives great insights into the culture of cars 'owning' our roads and how the design of our cities and urban areas need to be reconsidered if we are realistic about encouraging people, and kids, to ride on our roads safely.

Boron carbide represents one of the hardest and densest materials on earth. Manufacturers produce this specialty ceramic product by combining carbon molecules with a natural element called boron. These materials can be combined in an electric arc furnace, or using an acid-based chemical reaction, both of which result in a material with four boron molecules and a single carbon molecule. The supreme level of hardness and density of this material make it suitable for a wide variety of highly-specialized applications that can not be achieved with any other material. One of the most common applications for boron carbide is in the nuclear power industry. Boron carbide is one of the only materials on earth that can safely contain nuclear control rods, and prevent radiation leaks. This material also serves as an effective radiation shield outside of the nuclear industry, such as in a hospital or research setting where large amounts of radioactive energy may be used. Boron carbide is also widely used in the manufacturing industry to make materials that require the highest level of durability. For example, this material is used to make armor plates for vehicles, as well as highly-effective body armor for soldiers and law enforcement personnel. It's also used on high quality locks and security devices due to its ability to withstand almost any type of tampering or force. Manufacturers use boron carbide to make nozzles and other accessories for blasting equipment, and to coat metal tools and other mechanical parts that are subject to high wear. Many of the natural properties of boron carbide make it well-suited for the very toughest applications. This black or dark gray powder offers a hardness and density similar to that of a diamond, and also provides supreme wear resistance. It has a high-melting point, and is chemically inert, which prevents unwanted reactions with surrounding materials or compounds. It's also lightweight, and can be hot pressed into molds to form many shapes. Despite its many advantages, boron carbide is also associated with a number of potential drawbacks in some applications. Temperature variations can lead to a phenomenon known as thermal shock failure, and this material is also more susceptible to oxidation that some other similar materials. The products made from boron carbide are limited only to what can be created using hot press manufacturing, as other production techniques are not well-suited to this material. Finally, boron carbide is extremely expensive, and typically costs five to ten times as much as steel.

Earth Day today and Google are dedicating their Doodle to how badly we treat our favorite planet. This is a very nice Doodle, with four different GIFs that show the dramatic changes due to climate change. From the Great Barrier Reef of Australia, you will see shots of corals losing their color due to warmer waters. Corals are living creatures that take their color from the algae with which they have a symbiotic relationship. As the temperature of the oceans rises, the corals lose these algae and so we have a sad phenomenon called "bleaching". A massive bleach hit the Great Barrier Reef this year, according to the Ocean Agency in March. It is one of the consequences of global warming by more than 1 degree Celsius. The time-lapse in Google doodle shows whitening in 2016, when we had another mass whitening event. The images come from the non-profit organization The Ocean Agency. The other two GIFs show glaciers disappearing from Greenland's Sermersooq and from the summit of Tanzania's Kilimanjaro for decades. Kilimanjaro is an inactive volcano and is one of the three glacier peaks in Africa. If these glaciers continue to recede at the rate they are now melting, they could disappear completely within a few decades. Google's latest GIF depicts the destruction of forests in Elend, Germany. Here, the gray remnants of the trees occupy a very large part of the Harz National Park (Harzer Silberwald or Harz Silver Forest). It is the result of the catastrophic drought that weakened the trees, leaving them more prone to attack by bark beetles. By clicking on today's Doodle you will find a lot of information that Google has edited for the ongoing climate crisis. Registration in iGuRu.gr via email Follow us on Google News

For those who are infected with ARMD, the cells in the retinal pigment epithelium are not able to function well as age of the patient increases. The cells fail to absorb nutrients for the rods and cones and they also cannot clear the waste material away from the seeing cells. Because of this, there is an abnormal deposition of drusen under the retina. By the time the seeing cells and the retinal pigment cells become degenerate, they will eventually die. This case is true for the dry-ARMD. For some people, the wet-ARMD triggers the creation of new blood vessels in the choroid. The triggers for this type of ARMD is still unknown but some suggests that it is caused by the accumulation of waste materials not taken away from the retinal pigment epithelium which stimulates the growth of new blood vessels to clean the waste deposits. The exact mechanism why the cells in the retinal pigment epithelium would stop properly working for those with ARMD is unknown. But it is known that there are risk factors involved such as the following: - Possibly having high blood pressure - Having a familial history of ARMD. This is not passed on through parents but it will increase your risk of having ARMD.

Dawn of a New Energy Age: Limitless, Clean & Inexpensive? 360 video tour of the world's largest laser Nuclear scientists claimed that they had successfully produced a massive quantity of energy from fusion using lasers the size of three football fields. If this is true, we are entering a new era of unlimited, clean, and affordable energy that will help accelerate technological advancements that significantly improve the planet. A group of Scientists, engineers at the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory working on developing nuclear fusion, focused a giant array of almost 200 laser beams onto a tiny spot to create a mega blast of energy -- eight times more than they had ever done in the past. While the energy created lasted for just 100 trillionths of a second -- it takes humanity closer to the holy grail of fusion ignition when they are making more energy than they are using. Kim Budil, the director of Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory announcing the successful fusion ignition, said… "This result is a historic advance for inertial confinement fusion research." Nuclear fusion is considered by many of the world's leading nuclear scientists to be the most exciting potential energy source of the future. It produces little waste, no greenhouse gases and should be limitless in supply at a fraction of the cost of fossil fuels and nuclear fission currently used in nuclear power plants, where the bonds of heavy atomic nuclei are broken to release energy and creates dangerous and large amounts of nuclear waste. In the fusion process, two light atomic nuclei are "married" to create a heavy one. In this experiment at the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, scientists used two hydrogen isotopes, giving rise to helium. This is the exact process that is at work in stars throughout the universe, including our Sun. Professor Steven Rose, co-director of the center for research in this field at Imperial College London, was quoted about the accomplishment… "The NIF teams have done an extraordinary job and are the most significant advance in inertial fusion since its beginning in 1972." Meanwhile, Jeremy Chittenden, co-director of the same center in London, cautioned that making this a useable energy source is not going to be easy. "Turning this concept into a renewable source of electrical power will probably be a long process and will involve overcoming significant technical challenges." US lab stands on threshold of key nuclear fusion goal

What is a Flywheel? A flywheel is a rotating wheel optimized to store energy and/or resist rotational speed changes. Flywheels are often used to smooth the torque in a piston engine. The energy stored in the rotating member can be computed by the following formula which assumes the mass of the spokes and hub are negligible. - Let VelocityFtPerSec be the velocity of the mean radius of the rim. - Let AccelGravityFtPerSec2 = 32.16 - Let RimLbs be the weight of the flywheel rim - EnergyFtLbs = RimLbs * (VelocityFtPerSec ^ 2) / (2 * AccelGravityFtPerSec2) The amount of energy that can safely be stored depends on the point at which the rotor will warp or shatter which in turn depends on the material. Materials with the highest specific tensile strength will yield the highest energy storage. The theoretical limit on rim velocity, which is independent of radius, when considering only hoop tension stress is: - VelocityFeetPerSec = SQRT (10 * RimMaterialTensileStressLbsPerSqInch) One also has to consider the bending stress of the rim between spokes. This stress can be minimized by increasing the number of spokes, by using a disk structure or by increasing the rim’s radial thickness. Safety factors must also be included to account for a variety of other factors such as material imperfections, impact stresses, etc. For example, a safety factor of 10 to 13 is commonly used for the tensile strength of a cast-iron flywheel. How to Design Flywheels in eMachineShop CAD Designing flywheels for vehicles requires consideration of precession and the resulting resistance to change of the axis of rotation. For example, a flywheel having a horizontal rim would encounter a lateral force when driving over a hill or into a valley. Also see Flywheel Dynamic Balancing.

After completing your Mechanical Engineering course you can find a good job in thermal, hydraulic or nuclear power plant as a Power Plant Engineer. There is a great demand for Mechanical Engineering students in this field. Mechanical engineers are especially required in the thermal power plants and nuclear power plants. If you take up a job as a Power Plant Engineer in a thermal power plant, you will have to play a double role. You will be in charge of the operation as well as maintenance of the thermal power plant. The thermal power plants produces power by converting water into steam in huge boilers. For heating water mostly coal is used, though a number of other fuels can also be used. As a Power Plant Engineer you will ensure that the machines are running to the optimum capacity and that power as per the specifications is produced continuously. You will also maintain heavy duty machines like boilers, turbines, pumps, compressors, blowers etc. In plants where coal is used you will see black dust almost everywhere. Lots of smoke is generated which at times becomes highly suffocating. If you are not wearing a cap, your hair is bound to become very dirty at the end of the day. The job of the Power Plant Engineer, especially in thermal power plants, includes great responsibility. It is you who will actually be responsible for the generation of the power that keeps the city and the nation moving ahead confidently, for without power there is no life. Life in a nuclear power plant is easier. There will be a team of chemical engineers who will be more responsible for the operation of the plant; your job will be to maintain the machines. You will carry out preventive as well breakdown maintenance of machines like turbines, pumps, blowers etc. Even in hydraulic power plants, the job of mechanical engineers is prominently to carry out the maintenance of the plant. The operations of the hydraulic power plants are usually taken care of by civil engineers with specialization in fluid power.

There was a girl who moved to the United States with her family, her name was Khin Lay. She was thirteen years old. Khin Lay came to the United States in search of a better future and a better job, and especially to learn English. Life in Burma was very hard, and a daily struggle to move forward. She went to school. Chin was her first language. She didn’t speak English, but she wanted to talk to her new friends and learn the language. The thing she wanted to buy the most was a dictionary. The purpose of a dictionary was to build vocabulary and practice spelling. The only job she could get was cleaning up after the customers at a buffet restaurant. The work was very hard, but with patience and dedication she saved up her money to buy a dictionary. One day, she went to the store to buy a dictionary, but when she looked in her purse, she didn’t have enough money. She was disappointed, but she went back to her job and worked even harder. After she finished working one night, she looked for her purse, and it was gone. She was so sad about losing her money and tried to figure out who stole it. Finally, she found out the thief was her coworker, a girl named Sarah. Khin Lay was in disbelief because Sarah was one of the main reasons that she was purchasing the dictionary. She asked, “Why did you steal my money? I was saving to buy a dictionary, so I could learn English faster and talk to you.” “I’m so sorry,” Sarah said sadly, “I didn’t know that.” Khin Lay said, “I will forgive you, but don’t ever steal again.” Sarah decided to pay Khin Lay the money that belonged to her. Finally, Khin Lay got to buy her dictionary, and she felt very happy. There was so much to learn, and she couldn’t wait to begin. Sarah learned her lesson and never stole again.

The United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF) said yesterday that as many as 66,000 Yemeni children under the age of five die every year from preventable diseases. UNICEF resident representative in Yemen, Meritxell Relano, said on Twitter that half of these children die during childbirth or in the first month of life, while others die from preventable diseases such as diarrhea, pneumonia and malnutrition. In addition every year in #Yemen 66,000 children under 5 years of age are dying of preventable diseases. Half of them during birth or in the first month of life and the others of diseases that are preventable such as diarrhea, pneumonia and malnutrition related causes. — Meritxell Relano (@RelanoMeritxell) August 15, 2018 She added that children in Yemen continue to be killed in several provinces, stressing on the need to end the war. Impoverished Yemen has remained in a state of civil war since 2014, when Houthi rebels overran much of the country, including the capital Sana'a. In 2015, Saudi Arabia and its Arab allies launched a massive air campaign aimed at reversing Houthi military gains and shoring up Yemen's embattled government. According to UN officials, more than 10,000 people have been killed in the war, while more than 11 per cent of the country's population has been displaced.

Teachers deserve to work in schools where clarity is not only valued but developed with passion. And that makes sense. When teachers work in schools where clarity is defined and continuously refined, teachers thrive and students excel in learning. How do We get Clarity? The only pathway to clarity is alignment. In fact when leaders focus on systemic alignment of understanding from teacher to teacher and department to department, schools increase in effectiveness. Aligned understanding is the purest definition of clarity. What should Schools Align? Schools must align everything that teachers have in common. To get started, here are just a few things that leaders should ask teams of teachers to align in order to create the most effective school for all kids. - Knowledge in the Use of School Resources - Expectations for Learning and Behavior - Responses to Appropriate and Inappropriate Behavior - Common Language for Instruction and Expectations - Relationship Building Strategies - Engagement Strategies for Active Student Learning - Rigorous Questioning - Response to Student Failure - Celebration of Success If leaders provide teams of teachers the time and the structure to collaborate about the universal topics and actions essential to student success, there is a strong chance that all students and teachers will grow closer toward excellence. In the absence of a regular opportunity to collaborate around the actions that lead to systemic excellence, leader muddy the water with the ambiguous rhetoric of "high expectations" and ultimately frustrate teachers with inconsistent actions and structures. Kids Deserve an Alignment of Excellence Students deserve a classroom where competence is universal, and teachers deserve a school where clarity is valued and sought so that systemic competence is attained. Alignment and the time to align are the most powerful priorities for schools, and leaders will create a highly consistent as well as high performing school that will ultimately guarantee excellence for every child from every teacher in every classroom every day in every way.

“What is Integrity?” Integrity is standing up for what you believe is right, living by your highest values. It is being honest and sincere with others and yourself. You are integrous when you words and actions match. You don’t fool yourself into doing what you know is wrong. You fill your life and your mind with things that help you to live a good, clean life. Why Practice it? Without integrity, no one would be able to trust each other to do what they say they are going do. Integrity helps us listen to our conscience, to do the right thing, to tell the truth. When people act with integrity, they stand for something. Others believe them and rely on them. Integrity gives us self-respect and a peaceful heart. How Do You Practice it? You practice integrity by thinking about the virtues that matter to you and doing your best to live by them. When you make a mistake, you clean it up. You don’t follow the crowd. You think for yourself. You don’t say one thing and do another. You do the right thing even when no one is watching. Even when it is hard to do the right things, you stand strong. What would Integrity look like if… - All your friends are going to a movie your parents don’t want you to see? - You promised your friend you would keep her secret? - The teacher has left the room? - You find a jacket and it’s nicer than yours? - Other people are cheating on a test? - You have agreed to do a job and it becomes to hard? Congratulations! You are practicing Integrity when you… - Think about what virtues you care about - Stand strong for what you believe - Willingly clean up mistakes - Do the right thing even when it is hard - Think for yourself and avoid temptation - Are your own leader I have integrity. I mean what I say and say what I mean. I stand up for what is right. I am my own leader.

Air-sensitivity of a sample material (change of properties in direct contact with oxygen or/and water) is an important issue for many research fields. Besides other materials, a large number of pharmaceuticals and materials for gas storage applications requires an oxygen-/water-free atmosphere for their characterization. On the one hand, sample material should be well protected from contact with air during a characterization process; on the other hand, a sample should still be accessible for the analytical tool in use. X-ray diffraction (XRD) has two main requirements (apart from good air-tightness) for such a protection: (i) a certain level of transparency for X-rays and (ii) minimal contribution to a diffraction pattern. Naturally, air-tightness and transparency to X-rays are two competing factors. Therefore an optimal sample holder should be chosen based on the specifics of a particular sample, mainly based on its degree of sensitivity to air/water (i.e. the speed of decomposition in direct contact with air/water). To make this choice easier, our sample holders with foil protection for air-sensitive materials and Anton Paar domed sample holders are compared. Three main factors are benchmarked: air-tightness, X-ray transparency and a contribution to the XRD pattern. As testing material an extremely air sensitive compound was used: LiH (lithium hydride), which in direct contact with air decomposes almost completely within one hour.

Celebrating 35 years of DNA fingerprinting At 9.05am on Monday 10 September 1984, a discovery in a laboratory at the University of Leicester changed the way criminal investigations were carried out. The discovery, made by Professor Sir Alec Jeffreys who had his eureka moment when he realised that human DNA could produce consistent, unique patterns and that these could be used to not only identify individuals, but also indicate familial relationships. His involvement with a local double murder case in 1986 made the public – and police forces – aware of the forensic capabilities of ‘DNA fingerprinting’. But it is the technique’s application in solving familial and immigration disputes that he is most proud of. The breakthrough was not only useful for the justice system but has been used for wildlife forensics plus diagnosis of and the development of cures for inherited disorders. The discovery was featured in the Made at Uni campaign highlighting top 100 discoveries from UK universities. Professor Turi King, who was an assistant to Sir Alec and who built her own reputation as a DNA and genetics expert for her work to identify the remains of King Richard III, said: “Sir Alec Jeffreys' discovery and development of DNA fingerprinting has been one of the most important scientific breakthroughs the world has ever seen. Not only has it changed forensics and the solving of criminal cases but has had tremendous impact in the fields of medicine and ecology, as well as immigration cases and identification of victims of mass disasters. It has truly changed the world.” Turi will be exhibiting at the #MadeatUni campaign event in Parliament on 6 November. We will also be holding a free showing of the ITV drama Code of a Killer, starring Dr Who's John Sim as Sir Alec Jeffreys in the Autumn term to commemorate this milestone.

The project was conducted in the Heliospectra Plant & Research Lab which is a 80 square meter (861 square feet) temperature and humidity-controlled facility containing 20 individual growth units with reflective curtains. Two cultivars of red-green lettuce were studied: ”Amerikanisher brauner” and ”Galiano”. The lettuce grew under LED light for 23 days in one unit under a selected light spectrum on a Heliospectra LX602C hanging 170 cm (5.6 ft) above the growth table. After 23 days, two thirds of the plants were moved into two different growth units to be treated with different high-light treatments under either the Heliospectra LX602G or E602G. The high-light treatment entailed setting the lamps to provide a light intensity of 440 μmol/m2/s. The last third of the plants were kept as a control group in the unit with the initially selected light spectrum throughout the experiment. Image analysis was conducted after day one and day two of light treatments. Both the LX602G and E602G were efficient in inducing red coloration over 1 day of high-light treatment. The red coloring in the lettuce also increased with days of treatment. An additional observation was the LX602G treatment displaying much redder lettuce compared to E602G. Heliospectra believes this is a result of higher concentrations of blue light in the LX60’s “G” type spectrum; however, more research will need to be conducted to verify this. In conclusion, a lighting strategy which entails adjusting both light intensity and spectral quality shortly before harvest appears to have a positive influence on the coloring in lettuce.

River Leven walk by Dalquhurn | Riverways | G82 4LS What is a Riverway? A riverway is the part of a river that boats can travel on, or the route or course of a river. Within West Dunbartonshire there are 3 riverways of which River Leven walk by Dalquhurn is one. Along these you can see remnants of the river's past from pulleys where botas were able to transfer their goods to the shore to large bays where ships were built. The riverways also provide great habitats for fish such as brown trout, sea trout and even salmon! Many birds can also be seen along these routes including cormorant and the red-breasted merganser. Waders are also present and include redshank, oystercatchers and curlew. Eider ducks, goldeneye and little grebes can be seen near the Leven mouth and look out for the dipper on the River Leven! Located along the River Leven Tow Path Offers a good place for migrating species (mainly birds and insects) to rest as it’s located on the river. Common plant life and neutral grassland and wide spread scrubs and wildflowers.

The nine winners of the NFU’s Farmvention competition exhibited their ideas for new inventions and technologies specifically designed to aid climate-smart farming and food production, earning them the title of Climate Superheroes. Showcasing their innovative designs at the House of Commons on 24 November 2021, children from the winning schools showed MPs how they utilised their science, technology, engineering and maths (STEM) skills and knowledge to develop practical tools for sustainable farming. Learning STEM through agriculture From a smart irrigation system to an all-season greenhouse, the inventions were a few examples of hundreds of designs submitted by students across the country who have taken part in the NFU’s Farmvention competition in 2021, which teaches STEM subjects through the lens of agriculture and farming, this year with a focus on the aim for British farming to be net zero by 2040. As well as the showcase in the House of Commons, the winning schools received a prize of £1,000 for their school to spend on STEM or outdoor learning equipment. At the event, NFU President Minette Batters awarded the students a trophy to mark their achievement. She said: “There has been a huge focus on climate change this year so it’s only right that we celebrate our Climate Superheroes – not just the farmers who deliver sustainable food for our plates every day, but the creatives and scientists who come up with the new technologies that enable us to do it. “The ingenuity of the inventions showcased today is truly exciting and I hope this experience has inspired children about the possibilities within both farming and STEM careers. “For me, the best thing was seeing each project demonstrating a real understanding of the needs of farming and food production, as well as an impressive element of creativity, innovation, scientific knowledge and skill. It highlights what teachers who have used our resources already know – that farming is a fantastic way to teach STEM subjects in a practical and meaningful way.”

The Lawrence A. Frost Collection of Custeriana is a multimedia collection that includes over 5000 books, videos, numerous images, journals, newspaper articles, sound recordings and art work. It focuses on the life of General George A. Custer which includes his academic work at West Point, his heroic participation in the Civil War and his death at the Battle of the Little Bighorn. A Companion to Custer and the Little Bighorn Campaign In time for the 140th Anniversary of the Battle of the Little Bighorn, Wiley Blackwell Publishing has made available another volume in their Companions to American History Series. A Companion to Custer and the Little Bighorn Campaign, edited by Brad D. Lookingbill, is a collection of essays that reflect the varying themes of study on the battle and the people who were part of this moment in history. Authors of the essays come from a wide range of academic studies which include military, Native American and American West scholarship. This volume is divided into four parts. The first creates a foundation, by introducing the reader to the state of the native tribes in 1876. The second builds on this foundation by exploring army life in the West during the Indian Wars. Next, are studies of the person of General George Armstrong Custer, his command style and the life of army wife, Elizabeth Bacon Custer. The last part ventures into the new scholarship of myth and memory that has become so popular during the Civil War Sesquicentennial. The editor hopes to attract not only “non-specialists” to the work but also hopes to forward discussion on the topic that has been studied for over 140 years but still remains in some aspects a mystery.

29 July 1998 How Do You Like Your Brain Cooked? What effect does microwave radiation have on humans? 90% of the population of the Western Hemisphere seem glued to their mobile phone ('cellular' to our valued US readers), users should perhaps look at new research from the University of Warwick physicist Gerard Hyland that has raised new concerns about the effect of electromagnetic radiation on humans. Dr Hyland looked at how biological systems, including humans, emit photons (low intensity radiation). According to Dr Hyland these photons are not random and can be viewed as the external sign of a properly functioning metabolism. If correct, the impact on living tissue of external sources of radiation like microwave ovens and mobile telephones could be significant. How do you like your brain cooked? Past studies about external radiation have focused on thermal or heating effects, but little is known about non-thermal effects on humans. In Russia where there has been wider study of biophysics, manufacturers of microwave emitting devices face far more stringent safety precautions than in the USA and UK. Indeed the body of scientific knowledge in China and Russia is so far in advance that physicians are already providing electromagnetic acupuncture for patients using microwave radiation. Of course in Russia they could perhaps have concentrated a little more on the safey aspects of radiation emissions from nuclear reactors, weapon programmes etc than on the health consequences of heating up a plate of bortsch.

Home Insulation Through the Ages From the Egyptians keeping their homes cool to the Greek invention of cavity walls and asbestos, or the trick in many colder climates of sealing gaps with mud, homes have been insulated for thousands of years. Insulation techniques improved from the need in the Industrial Revolution to protect pipes in factories, relying heavily on asbestos until its toxic properties were recognised. In the past fifty years, concern with insulation has been increasingly driven by the need to limit energy waste and carbon emissions. Since 2006, the UK government has encouraged the building of zero-carbon homes. Loft Insulation Materials Ever since the development of modern-style pitched roofs, most homes have included either a loft or an attic. It’s been known for a long time that heat rises, so some kind of insulation technique was often used, though this might be no more than laying newspaper on the floor. During recent decades, though, more efficient insulating materials have become common, such as glass or mineral fibre or synthetic insulation boards. The most usual approach is to pack material between the loft joists, with the option of then boarding them over. Regulations on Installing Loft Insulation The first regulations on home insulation issued by the UK government came in 1965. These were modest by today’s standards, specifying a mere 28mm of insulation for the loft. The requirements have been gradually increased, though, with each update of the regulations. The current requirement for new builds and conversions is 250mm, though this doesn’t necessarily mean you should limit yourself to this. The optimum level of loft insulation is closer to 270mm, while other countries have higher expectations. In Sweden, for instance, three layers are used of 100mm each, with a layer of building paper between each. The Advantages of Having Loft Insulation Installed A house that’s insulated to government standards can not only be kept at a more even temperature, but it can save significantly on heating, reducing both your bills and your carbon footprint. While this includes other forms of insulation, the loft is the single most important target, and good loft insulation can save up to £250 a year. If you need to know more about insulating your loft, feel free to get in touch with us for a chat.

Something weird is going on here… You’re trying to compare two lists of data to see what items from ‘List B’ are in ‘List A’. Sounds simple enough, right? But some of the lookup values are not found even though you can clearly see the value in ‘List B’. There are several possible reasons for this: (a) the values aren’t exactly the same (there could be extra spaces) and so the formula returns an #N/A, (b) the formula option is set to ‘manual’ (easy fix, change to ‘automatic’ –> ‘Formulas’ / ‘Calculation Options’ / ‘Automatic’), (c) one of the arguments in your formula is incorrect (i.e. the range is pointing to the wrong column) or (d) there are some tricky custom formats on top of the data making it look different than what the actual value in the cell really is. Download my Excel file Watch my YouTube video What are the ingredients to my solution? I combined these steps: confirm MATCH function is set-up properly, set cell ALIGNMENT back to default, remove CUSTOM FORMATS. How did I create the data?

Researchers from the Barcelona Institute for Global Health, an institution supported by “la Caixa” Foundation, describe a spontaneous abortion case very likely as a result of an infection by Zika virus early during pregnancy. The findings provide further evidence of the association between Zika virus, infection via the placenta, and embryonic damage. In 2015, Brazil experienced a sharp increase in the number of newborns with microcephaly, concurrent with an epidemic by the Zika virus. Since then, mounting evidence indicates that ZIKV infection in pregnant women can cause congenital abnormalities including microcephaly, as well as fetal loss. In this study, the ISGlobal research group describes the case of a woman in her 7th week of pregnancy that travelled to the Dominican Republic where she developed symptoms compatible with Zika. At her return to Spain, a routine examination revealed fetal loss (estimated to have occurred at the gestational age of 8 weeks). Infective virus could also be isolated from the placenta and from embryonic tissue. The woman had antibodies to Zika, and virus could be amplified from her blood up to one month after symptom onset. “Virus persistence up to 3 weeks after pregnancy loss has not been described previously and underscores the current lack of knowledge regarding the natural history of Zika virus infection”, says Azucena Bardají, senior author of the study. All the tests performed suggest that the spontaneous abortion in this woman was likely associated with a symptomatic Zika virus infection occurring early in pregnancy, and that this happened shortly after infection, conclude the authors. The results also provide evidence that the placental tissue is a preferred target for the virus. Goncé A, Martínez MJ, Marbán-Castro E, et al.

Text to go here... A medicine currently used to treat fungal infections successfully slows tumour growth in mice, according to new research. Itraconazole is normally used to treat aspergillus, a fungus which causes lung diseases in humans. Now tests on mice have shown that low doses of itraconazole are also effective in fighting cancer. A team of scientists studied two groups of mice, one of which was given the medication. They found itraconazole was most efficient when administered orally. It affects a signaling pathway known as ‘hedgehog', which helps cells and organs to develop properly, and had fewer side effects compared to other antifungal treatments tested in the study. Although it did not eradicate the tumours altogether, it did prolong the life expectancy of the mice. Mice that did not receive the treatment grew large tumours during the same study period. Cancer cells can develop if the hedgehog signaling pathway is abnormally switched on. Researchers found that many currently available medicines can affect this pathway so they screened 2,400 to find the best one. They saw that itraconazole stops the activation of the protein SMO which is usually activated by the hedgehog pathway. By preventing the activation and accumulation of SMO proteins, the drug stops tumours from developing and the pathway from proceeding further. The results suggest that cancer patients could benefit from taking low doses similar to those needed for fungal infections. As it is already on the market, human clinical trials for the use of the medicine in the treatment of tumours can progress at a faster pace than for new medicines. If successful, itraconazole could become a cheap way to boost the effectiveness of other cancer therapies. Last edited: 11 January 2022 09:44
