Conservationists working to alleviate a rat problem in a Galapagos Island have turned to drones to help with their efforts. The drones have been used to drop poison on more than half of the North Seymour Island in an attempt to wipe out the invasive species which is causing a threat to indigenous birds. According to a report from the BBC, the drones work much faster and more cheaply than helicopters which have been used in similar rat eradication projects elsewhere. It went on to describe how, Karl Campbell, South American regional director for Island Conservation, said that drones can deliver poison much more precisely than is possible via helicopter. Each drone was flown for a number of 15-minute journeys, during which time it is believed they dispensed around 20kg of poison.

The plant in the southeastern town of Mellach was powered down April 18 BERLIN — Austria has shut down its last coal-fired power plant as part of a plan to end the use of fossil fuels for energy production by 2030. Utility company Verbund said the plant in the southeastern town of Mellach was powered down April 18. The Mellach plant had provided heat and electricity to the nearby city of Graz for 34 years. Austria, an Alpine nation with no significant fossil fuel reserves of its own, still has more than a dozen power plants burning gas and oil. The government aims to shut the gas-fired plants by the end of the decade, after which the country will generate all of its energy from renewable sources. Austria is the eighth European Union country to end the burning of coal, which is considered the most heavily polluting fossil fuel and a major source of man-made greenhouse gas emissions stoking climate change.

Thursday, November 24, 2016 Thanksgiving Through the Years "George Washington was first in war, first in peace, and in November 1789, the first president to proclaim a national day of thanksgiving, openly acknowledging God as the source of all 'the great and various favors which He has been pleased to confer upon us.' Among the 'favors' were a Declaration of Independence that inspires us to the present day, a remarkable military victory over the most powerful nation in the world, and an ingenious Constitution of checks and balances that places 'we the people' at the center of our government. For the next fourscore and seven years, most states honored a November date as a day of prayer and fasting, but there was no national celebration. Of the early presidents, only James Madison, in 1814 and 1815, issued proclamations." Read Lee Edwards' entire article here at The Daily Signal.

Murad explores some of the basic principles that need to be considered when examining the history of the umma (community) and what large lessons might be learned from it. In particular, he looks at those which can be described as ‘sharia-oriented’ or theological. Two of them in particular have been important to Muslims: How does power and statehood work? What is the role of the Muslim regarding political power: should one seek it? What should be one’s relationship to a ruler? The second is a theological issue: what is actually happening in history? Is history just a kind of puppet show? Is there a reality to cause and effect? And beyond that is the issue of destiny and providence. Is there a discernable pattern – God’s way of dealing with human beings – that can enable us to see history as something that has a religious significance and that can continue to teach us?

For centuries, humans have put various items into their mittens and boots to help keep their fingers and toes warm when the weather outside was very cold. There are several different types of products advertised as “hand warmers” or “foot warmers.” Some of these products are designed to retain warmth from an exothermic chemical reaction or a physical change. One type of hand warmer is composed of a tightly sealed and insulated packet within which there are two smaller packets. One packet holds a volume of water and the other packet holds a powdered solid. You twist or squeeze the packet, and then shake it a little to mix the materials. As the solid dissolves, it releases heat. In the Initial Investigation, you will use a Temperature Probe to determine the temperature change of two substances as they dissolve in water. After completing the Initial Investigation, you will test several substances to determine which substance is the best hand warmer based on two factors: enthalpy of solution and cost.

by Hua Yue Standard Chinese or Modern Standard Chinese, also known as Mandarin, Putonghua, Guoyu and Modern Standard Mandarin, is a standardized variety of Chinese and the official language of the People’s Republic of China and the Republic of China (Taiwan), and is one of the four official languages of Singapore. In Malaysia, it is very commonly used among the Chinese and as well as other ethnics. An up and rising trend of Indians and Malays learning this language is evident. The usage of Mandarin language is pre-dominant in states like Johor, Penang, Perak, Kedah and Pahang. In city state Kuala Lumpur and Selangor, a different dialect i.e. Cantonese is also used alongside Mandarin. Modern Standard Mandarin language or Putonghua, is the standard and universal language among variety of Chinese dialects.

In this video, Dr. Sunil Gupta, Additional Director, NCDC, will discuss whether the general public can help in preventing spread of antimicrobial resistance (AMR). The general public is also responsible for AMR concern. In India, antibiotics and antimicrobials are available over the counter, hence the misuse. He will also talk on schedule H1 drugs which has been implemented but due to lack of awareness, it is not been followed by pharmacists everywhere. General public should be aware of AMR and not indulge in self-medication. Many a times, people are aware of antibiotics are specific conditions and purchase it from chemists and start self-medication which need to be prohibited.

Collisions with ships are one of the most common causes of death or injury for cetaceans. The likelihood of collisions occurring will increase as the world’s reliance on ship-based transportation of goods and people increases. Late 2016 the Commonwealth Government advised it was releasing more funding under the Inspiring Australia – Science Engagement Program which aims to contribute to the broader goals of science engagement in Australia. Frog Census App enables volunteers for the Frog Census citizen science program to easily identify and capture the location of frogs by species and report them back to Melbourne Water with just few steps.

|| Biodigesters can play a vital role in integrated farming systems by contributing to the control of pollution and at the same time add value to livestock manure. The impact of the low-cost biodigester is variable. Adoption of the technique and successful results depend on aspects such as location (availability of traditional fuel) and the way in which the technology is introduced, adapted and improved according to local conditions. Transparent polyethylene tubular film digesters, like the one this project used, provide a cheap and simple way to produce gas. They can appeal to small farmers because of low installation cost and also because of environmental advantages. The technology can be applied in rural or urban areas. The technology has been developed sufficiently to justify large- scale implementation in countries where socio-economic conditions facilitate its rapid adoption, such as has occurred in Vietnam and Cambodia. Nevertheless, research should continue in close consultation with users so that the technology continues to improve.

Washington or D.C., is the capital of the United States. Founded after the American Revolution as the seat of government of the newly independent country, Washington was named after George Washington, first President of the United States and Founding Father. The City of Washington was founded in 1791 to serve as the new national capital. In 1846, Congress returned the land originally ceded by Virginia; in 1871, it created a single municipal government for the remaining portion of the District. Washington’s metropolitan area, the country’s sixth largest, had a 2017 estimated population of 6.2 million residents. All three branches of the U.S. federal government are centered in the District: Congress (legislative), president (executive), and the U.S. Supreme Court (judicial). Washington is home to many national monuments, and museums, primarily situated on or around the National Mall. Washington wheelchair access is of a high standard, providing an inclusive environment for the national capital. Attractions and Opportunities

Whilst the on-site recording continued apace, there were other activities on offer. Several people spent the morning learning about and processing pottery and other archaeological finds. Some of the finds were those uncovered on-site this week and others were a range of finds from different archaeological sites. This activity allowed participants to see and handle a wider range of artefacts. Participants also took part in some real experimental archaeology, courtesy of archaeo-metallurgist Jake Keene. The aim was to take several kilos of iron ore and charcoal to produce a ‘bloom’ of iron. In order to do this participants pounded up lumps of iron ore and weighed out kilos of charcoal for the furnace. Then they took it in turns to pump the bellows, in order to maintain a constant temperature of 1,500 degrees centigrade. Experiments like this improve our understanding of the complex processes of prehistoric metal working and make it easy to understand why ancient metal workers might be seen to be performing acts of magic. The kiln is still burning, so log on again tomorrow to see if the experiment worked!

General Information on Use of Soap Soft soaps made from potassium compounds are preferable because they can add useful minerals to the soil. Avoid using strong powder detergent soaps because they contain caustic soda which can scorch plant leaves and, if used frequently, will reduce soil fertility. Liquid soap and soft soap solutions can also burn leaves if their concentration is too strong or if applied too frequently. Among pests controlled by soap solutions are: aphids, crickets, armyworm, caterpillars, leafminers, mites, small beetles, slugs and snails, thrips and whiteflies (Elwell and Maas, 1995). In general, soaps will kill aphids and small caterpillars at concentrations of 5-8 g per litre of water. Concentrations of 8 g per litre will kill beetles and larger caterpillars, while concentrations of 10 g per litre can kill plants and are sometimes used as herbicides. Soap solutions are effective only when wet, once dry, they lose their insecticidal properties (Rappaport, 1992).

There was a population of two different colored frogs that were at one habitat, both having the same predator. There was a little bit of a dry season which means not that much vegetation but there was one little pond that still had some frogs (Green & Tan) The red tail hawk is really hungry and is looking for a place with frogs The red tail hawk is looking for some frogs when he finds a little area with water. He goes to the frogs and finds only the green ones because those were the easier frogs to find. The red tail hawk ate all the green frogs and left the tan because he didn't know there wee any there because they blended in with the environment. Which left those frogs to reproduce over time. The tan frog population grew and grew. They went from 3 to 6....

In 1519, Hernando Cortés arrived in Mexico to investigate stories of a wealthy empire. What he encountered was beyond his wildest dreams – an advanced civilisation with complex artistic, political and religious systems (involving extensive human sacrifice) and replete with gold. This was the Aztec empire, headed by the aloof emperor, Montezuma. With just a handful of men, Cortés achieved the impossible, crushing the Aztecs and their allies, and effectively annexing the whole territory for Spain. One of the most extraordinary stories of conquest in mankind’s history, it is told here in the classic account by the American historian W. H. Prescott.

Japan's Population in Record Decline: Startling Projections Japan is set to lose a midsize city, approximately the size of Austin Texas, every year according to a Financial Times report and stats from the IMF. “The reason Japan’s population is now falling so fast is not the low birth rate but rather an increase in the number of deaths,” said Akihiko Matsutani, professor emeritus in applied economics at the National Graduate Institute for Policy Studies. The population decline is despite record immigration. - There were 944,146 births in the year to October 2018 compared with 1,368,632 deaths. - Long-term projections suggest Japan’s population will fall to just 50 million in a hundred years. That's the same population as a hundred years ago. I suspect the long-term projections are hugely wrong. If so, Japan's mountain of debt will pose a huge problem. Japan's battle against deflation will turn into a battle against inflation. Mike "Mish" Shedlock

No. 18: Nov-Dec 1981 Although they don't get the publicity they did a few years ago, powerful booms still rock the U.S. East Coast and elsewhere. A recent example occurred on June 24, 1981, when the coastline of North Carolina, South Carolina and Georgia was hit by a house-shaking boom. No supersonic jets were in the area, seismographs recorded no earthquake, and no man-made explosions had occurred, according to a careful check. (Phillips, Jim; "What on Earth Was That? No One Knows: Theories Fizzle Out on the Upstate's Mysterious 'Big Bang,'" Greenville, SC, News, June 25, 1981.) Comment. The East Coast booms attract ed national attention in the late 1970s. Despite several government-sponsored investigations, there was no consensus of scientific opinion. The booms remain anomalies. We catalog these in GSD1 in Earthquakes, Tides. This book is described at: here.

Barriers to Entry Definition - What does Barriers to Entry mean? Barriers to entry refers to any significant obstacles facing a new entrant into an existing company's market. Both strategic and financial buyers look to acquire companies with high barriers to entry because they are difficult to build internally and they keep competition limited, allowing for higher pricing power. Companies that can demonstrate significant barriers to entry will usually garner a valuation premium from acquirers. Divestopedia explains Barriers to Entry Barriers to entry broadly fall into three categories; - Legal or regulatory barriers include agreements, contracts, patents, trademarks, copyrights and/or regulatory protection. Vendors should clearly define the protection and the extent of the protection. - Market barriers include brands, customer/supplier relationships, distribution channels, trade secrets, exclusive agreements, location, etc. Vendors should document how they created these market barriers and how they will protect them. - Capital barriers include significant investments in fixed assets, high costs for regulatory certification, extensive research and development, etc. Documentation of all aspects of capital required for new entries into the marketplace will provide proof of these barriers and will go a long way toward obtaining a premium valuation from a buyer.

HOW TO CONSTRUCT CONIC SECTIONS - Prof.ssa Maiolino Daniela - Conic Sections Now is your turn to work. You have to follow these simple steps in order to obtain a conic by applying its definition. a) Draw a straight line (DIRECTRIX) and a point F (FOCUS). b) Take a point A on the directrix and trace the perpendicular line at this point; c) Let V be the middle point of the segment FA; d) Trace at any point above the focus F two parallel lines to the directrix; e) Trace a circumference centered in F and having radius= d(dir,r1); f) Trace a circumference centered in F and having radius= d(dir,r2), and plot the intersection points of each circumference and the parallel lines; c) Draw the LOCUS THROUGH FIVE POINTS, passing the fours points and point V. Now if you move the DIRECTRIX or the VERTEX V you can observe how the curve LOCUS represent a conic.

Cashew Seeds Studied for Diabetes Treatment By Kathleen Blanchard RN for EmaxHealth.com Cashew seed that comes from the leaves, apples, bark, and seeds of the tree was studied for development of nutraceuticas that could treat diabetes. Scientists explored the effect of cashew seed extract to find that the seed stimulates muscle absorption of glucose needed for energy, making the seed a potential diabetes treatment. Diabetes destroys the body’s ability to use glucose. The researchers studied the health benefits of cashew seed that is the nut that grows from the end of the apple. The nut contains oleic acid that is the heart healthy ingredient in olive oil. Cashews are also rich with minerals such as copper, zinc, phosphorous and magnesium that has also been shown to reduce the risk of metabolic syndrome that contributes to diabetes development.

I am in Georgetown this week for the Texas Master Naturalist state conference so no Park blog post, but I did see an amazing Tricolored bat at Longhorn Cavern. It is called a Tricolored bat because each hair goes from black at the base to yellow in the middle to brown at the tip. Tricolored bats are much much smaller than the Mexican free-tailed bats we have in our Park. These guys are as small as 4 grams. The free-tails are over 12. “[Animals] are not brethren, they are not underlings; they are other nations, caught with ourselves in the net of life and time, fellow prisoners of the splendour and travail of the earth.” —Henry Beston, The Outermost House For sightings, questions or comments email email@example.com.

Super pressure balloon From AMS Glossary Revision as of 21:07, 26 January 2012 by Perlwikibot super pressure balloon A sealed balloon made from a material of high modulus of elasticity. The balloon has an excess of lifting gas, producing an overpressure at the altitude of neutral buoyancy. As the balloon gas heats and cools, the excess pressure stresses the balloon film. If the balloon material has a high enough modulus, strain is minimal. With system mass constant and balloon volume almost constant, the balloon floats at a near-constant density level night and day in the absence of convection or wetting.

Titmice nest in holes in natural tree cavities, or ones they excavate or borrow from woodpeckers and other birds. (This is why it is important to retain dead trees in a woodlot). They build their nests within these cavities or a birdhouse of bark, leaves, grass, hair, cloth, string or nesting materials you leave in the yard for them. Titmice mate for more than one year. Typically they lay one clutch of 5 to 8 eggs per year from early May to late June (North) and late March to mid-June (South). After a 12 day incubation, males help raise the brood. They live from 3 to 12 years. Titmice prefer manmade accommodations that are 4 inches square at the base and 8 to 10 inches high. The entrance hole should be no larger than 1¼ inches in diameter, located 6 to 8 inches above the floor of the box. There should be no perch. This will discourage predator birds from raiding the nest. Mount the house between 6 and 15 feet above the ground. This is a bigger range of nesting heights than most birds accept. For examples of bird houses for titmice, go to Yardener\'s Tool Shed bird section

Year 4 enjoyed a chocarific trip to York’s Chocolate Story last Wednesday! We began the day with a tour of the factory which started with a sample of real chocolate to taste (always a good sign!)We then learnt all about the history of chocolate, both worldwide and in York itself. Later on, we explored the virtual chocolate factory, learning about the process of bean to bar through an interactive workbench, and we were even trained in how to become chocolate eating connoisseurs! Finally, the tour ended with an explanation on how to make blueberry and vanilla truffles by a very talented chocolatier – simply amazing! Our day did not finish there though – next it was our turn to put into practise what we had learnt – we created our own truffles…this became rather messy as we (including the teachers) struggled to execute the tricky task of dipping with one hand and decorating with the other!!! We still have room for improvement in our decorative skills, but no one can deny – they still tasted good! What a fabulous day to remember.

The Khmer civilisation was one of the greatest Southeast Asia had ever known. At the heart of it is the city of Angkor, which at its height, from the 11th through 13th century, was one of the largest anywhere in the world. The landscape was punctuated by great stepped, pyramidal temple-mountains built by successive kings to honour their gods. Join Theresa McCullough, Principal Curator of the Asian Civilisations Museum, as she explores the artistic legacy of Khmer culture through its art and architecture and touches on recent ground-breaking discoveries that are continuing to reshape our understanding of this rich civilisation. This talk is held in conjunction of the exhibition of Dinh Q. Lê: Monuments and Memorials.

A superposition state of hydrogen molecules that begins from a stationary ground state involves excitation with several quanta of infrared photons. Such an excitation has sufficient energy to accelerate a pair of neutral H2 molecules into low earth orbit at 8 km/s as shown. Note that the inverse process where heat is emitted from two molecules results in bonding states that we call gravity. Instead of bonding by displacement of charge, gravity bonding occurs as a result of displacement of neutral particles and emission of heat as photon pairs as quadrupoles. Typically science interprets the heating of a matter accretion as caused by gravity, but in matter time, it is the emission of heat as photon quadrupoles that causes gravity. There is a very large number of gravity states for a matter accretion and therefore a very large entropy as well.

St Mary’s Books have recently acquired this lovely little piece which is of great local interest and is also an important part of history! William Cecil, 1st Baron of Burghley (1520-1598) was an English statesman, the chief advisor to Queen Elizabeth I for most of her reign, twice Secretary of State, and Lord High Treasurer. Historian Albert Pollard wrote: “From 1558 for forty years the biography of Cecil is almost indistinguishable from that of Elizabeth and from the history of England”. A good example of the signature of Lord Burghley advisor to Queen Elizabeth the First. An Original signed piece loosely laid down on an old paper leaf approximately 5.2 cm by 7.8cm

Abies firma (Momi Firs) Stiff needled fir native to Japan. Found in Honshu, Shikoku, Kyushu, and Yakushima islands at elevations of 160 - 6,000 feet. Commonly known as Momi fir or as モミ in the Japanese language. In Japan, the wood is used for construction and building coffins. As with most species having wood of a uniform light color, the Japanese find it exceptionally pleasing. In the U.S. and Europe it is a popular ornamental species, as well as proving to be a valuable seedling for use as rootstock for other fir species to grow in the humid southeastern U.S.

It draws on the National Library of Australia’s Oral History and Folklore Collection, which has recorded the thoughts and stories of thousands of influential Australians from all disciplines. This resource engages students with a rich selection of historical sources and challenges them to draw their own conclusions—not only about science and technology, but about the people behind the discoveries. It highlights four influential Australian scientists and uses their oral history recordings, giving some background to their major discoveries and exploring their early influences and the struggles they faced before and after their successes. By bringing a personal side to science, this resource gives students a better understanding of the role of scientists; the responsibilities that come of great discoveries; and the ways in which ideas, career paths and goals are shaped and redefined throughout a person’s life.

Fabry disease is a genetic condition that has the potential to affect most parts of the body causing a wide variety of possible symptoms. 1,2 Possible symptoms of Fabry Fabry affects everyone differently, some people with Fabry experience no symptoms, others are severely affected, and everyone else falls somewhere in-between. 1 The type and severity of symptoms, as well as the age they develop, varies between individuals – even those within the same family. 5,8 This means, if you have Fabry, your experience could be very different from that of a relative with Fabry. It is this variability of symptoms, as well as their overlap with more common conditions, combined with how rare Fabry is, that often makes getting a Fabry diagnosis difficult based on symptoms alone. 1,9,10 Fabry is a progressive disease, meaning it can get worse over time, potentially resulting in serious or life-threatening complications. However, this won’t be the case for everybody and early detection and treatment could potentially lead to a healthier future. 1,2,11,12

This week we set goals for our remaining semester of 5th grade in an activity I called "School Year's Resolutions". Thinking about what we can do to make the most out of our remaining time is very important, I think that each goal set by the students will give them a focus and objective to take them through May. In math, we have continued our study of decimals. The students are becoming proficient in adding and subtracting decimals. We are also continuing with the Rocket Math program. We have students who are reaching the end of the multiplication objectives and beginning to move on to their division objectives. In social studies, we've began looking at early colonization of the United States. We've already learned about the lost colony of Roanoke and Jamestown. Winter weather is upon us, be on the look out for snow days in the coming weeks. Stay warm and safe 5th graders!

Form without content was one of the trends emphasised in the art of the 1960s. Coburn's art has never been without content but a lot of painting at that time was. American painting that was generally referred to as colourfield painting or hard-edged painting and artists like Kenneth Noland or Helen Frankenthaler very much influenced Coburn. While he claims a certain influence in this direction for some of his works, such as the painting Rainforest, there is conspicuous organic power and a homage to Nature. "I suppose some of my paintings of this period roughly correspond to the hard-edged paintings of the sixties, but mine generally have very much more emotional content. I don't think I was ever terribly successful in eliminating emotional content, or ever really wanted to, although I was, at that time, striving for a colourfield, hard-edged effect. Rainforest, painted in 1968, had only two colours and very simple forms and it could quite well be described as a colourfield painting, but at the same time it has a fairly emotional content."

A programmable logic controller, or PLC, is a rugged industrial computer designed for the control of manufacturing processes. PLCs monitor input devices and make decisions based on the program installed by the operator. These decisions control the state of output devices. PLCs perform three primary functions: receive information from connected devices like buttons, switches, sensors, networks, and even other PLCs; process that information according the installed program; and executing commands by activating outputs. PLCs have evolved to accept five programming languages, provide sequential relay control, perform advanced networking tasks, and handle data between thousands of inputs and outputs. Because of this, PLCs have been widely adopted as high-reliability automation controllers suitable for harsh environments.

It sounds difficult, but you can make one yourself, such as I am a teacher, I work hard, I love my students, and they love me too. - Give them the words you want them to use. - Perhaps elicit some rhyming words for this vocabulary set. - Students may work in pairs or individually. - You can display the poems around the room for the students to walk around - in pairs - and give some kind of mark or comment of appreciation. Another way to introduce vocabulary is to use the words in a card game. - Have each student write the word on one card and draw a picture (or stick on a picture cut from a magazine or elsewhere) on another. - Put them face down in two lines (one of the word cards and one of the picture cards). - Each student picks up one word card and one picture. If they match, they get a point. If not, they put them back. - Students will start to remember where the different cards are. - You have to have a place where they will not disturb other classes, because it gets noisy!

English naturalist and geologist Charles Darwin first published On the Origin of Species in 1859. The idea of evolution and that all earth's species have descended from a common ancestor had already been around for some time. What was new about Darwin's work was that it found a way to explain evolution using a theory called natural selection. This claimed that species change in small ways, gradually, over long periods of time; the individuals who happen to be best suited to their environment survive, and live to produce lots of offspring. Darwin's theory explained why everything in our world is a perfect fit - without God necessarily pulling the strings. The ideas contained in the Origin of Species changed the thinking of much of the world. Victorian society was outraged at the idea that God had not created life in a perfect form. The Church thought it would lead to people's faith in God crumbling - and even today, there are some religious groups who do not accept Darwin's idea that all life evolves.

For most octopuses, mating is a dicy endeavor. Primarily because, as cannibals, a mate can also double as dinner. So when biologist Richard Ross watched two larger Pacific striped octopuses come together for the first time, sucker-to-sucker–and beak to beak–he was more than a little anxious. But these rare octopuses were just doing what they seem to do best: mating. And then laying eggs. Lots and lots of clutches of them. Now Ross and his colleagues are racing to keep the hatchlings from the many eggs alive in captivity before they lose their entire population of these unusual octopuses. Read more in my first piece for National Geographic‘s news site here. I got to see these octopuses up close and in person last year at the California Academy of Sciences, and they are truly amazing. (Although don’t let their name fool you–they’re really quite tiny.) And learn more about other octopuses’ bizarre mating rituals in my book, Octopus! The Most Mysterious Creature In the Sea.

The El Popo Newspaper was first published in 1970 by students concerned about the lack of a Chicana and Chicano perspective in newspapers. As a result, students called the newspaper, El Popo. The paper was named El Popo after the volcano El Popocatepetl. Involved in Chicana/o Movement of the 60’s and 70’s, students saw a connection between the smoke spewing volcano ready to erupt and the student movement ready to engage. Thus, throughout the El Popo’s forty-six years, the name continues to symbolize and to represent the spirit of each generation of students that contribute to the pages of the El Popo Newspaper.

Watermelon placental (heart) tissue is displayed by use of calcofluor white dye. This confocal micrograph was taken to determine the number of cells and obtain the average surface area of watermelon cell tissue in control fruit compared to fruit with an internal defect known as hollow heart. Hollow heart is most dominantly found in non-grafted, seedless watermelon. The cause of the defect is still unknown, but is mostly correlated to field issues such as watermelon pollination and water stress. Watermelon cultivars with increases in tissue firmness or tissue density (i.e., the number of cells per unit area) are also known to be less susceptible to this serious internal fruit disorder. This micrograph was obtained to better correlate tissue density to hollow heart susceptibility in a seedless cultivar. Tile scan on Zeiss LSM 880. Image taken by Marlee Trandel.

- from Weather You may have heard this expression: “Everyone talks about the weather, but no one ever does anything about it.” Well, we do talk about weather all the time. That’s because this powerful force of nature affects everything we do. As sophisticated as the modern world is, we are still pretty much at the mercy of the weather. We cancel picnics when it rains. Sometimes we get a day off from school when it snows. Warm, sunny days and rain help crops grow, but too much of either kills them. A storm like a tornado can cause millions of dollars in damage and take many lives. Rain, snow, hot sunny days, wind—what creates these and all the other events we call weather? Heat from the Sun is behind them all. Ever noticed how boiling water churns and moves around? That’s what happens when the Sun heats up the atmosphere, the layer of gases that surrounds Earth. All this movement gives us weather. There’s a wide variety of it, too—from the wildest storms of winter to the nicest sunny days of summer.

Following the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor, President Franklin D. Roosevelt demanded that the United States respond by bombing Japan. His not so innocent request would cause ripple effects throughout the military planning of the United States and Great Britain. Two hundred and twelve men and 23 B-24D heavy bombers would form the nucleus of an Army Air Corps unit called the Halverson Provisional Group, HALPRO for short. They would be assembled at the Fort Myers, Florida Air Base by May 1, 1942. By the end of the month, they had departed the continental United States. They were about to enter into the political and military vortex of 1942. And not all of these ripples were caused by the enemy.

Tandon in the News From Beyonce to Janice Bryant Howroyd, 14 Black Women Who Changed Business and Finance - Marguerite Ward for CNBC February 14th, 2017 - Source: http://www.cnbc.com/2017/02/14/from-beyonce-to-janice-bryant-howroyd-14-black-women-who-changed-business-and-finance.html Throughout U.S. history, black women have founded businesses, transformed industries, revolutionized television and media and created jobs — often without recognition. Black women are the second fastest-growing group of entrepreneurs, after Latina women. According to the 2016 State of Women-Owned Businesses Report, "there are an estimated 1.9 million African-American women-owned firms, employing 376,500 workers and generating $51.4 billion in revenues." And though their ventures still aren't being funded as robustly as those of their white male counterparts, black women entrepreneurs are responsible for adding thousands of jobs to the economy.

This common bacterium produces a toxin known as cytolethal distending toxin (CDT) which causes intoxicated cells to enlarge and to stop dividing with a double DNA content characteristic of G2/M arrest . The effect of the toxin on the cell is so striking that it captivated scientists for a long time. However, its mechanism of action had remained elusive.

Glucose (a type of sugar) is the body's main energy source, and hormones (such as insulin and glucagon) control the level of glucose in the blood. Hypoglycemia occurs when the level of glucose in the blood is lower than it should be. It's a common problem in people being treated for diabetes. People with diabetes may experience hypoglycemia (also called a low blood sugar reaction) if they don't eat enough or if they take too much glucose-lowering medication (such as insulin). A person with hypoglycemia may feel hungry, shaky, sweaty, weak, drowsy, or dizzy. If left untreated, hypoglycemia may even lead to unconsciousness.

According to NASA a huge solar storm is expected to send a shower of radioactive solar particles racing towards Earth at almost 1,400 miles a second this week. The flare, caused by a large eruption on the sun’s surface last Sunday, is expected to damage GPS systems and other communications when it reaches the Earth’s magnetic field on Tuesday. Solar flares are the largest explosive events in our solar system; it can last from ten minutes to hours. NASA officials stated that the flare might also spark an unusual large display of auroras that could be visible at lower latitudes. The solar storm of this week has been seen in Scotland, Northern Ireland and Yorkshire, in Northern England. (AV)

Phase behavior, refrigeration cycle, two phase flow, non-equilibrium, enthalpy Vapor compression refrigeration system is usually designed such that refrigerant exits a condenser at subcooled liquid state in order not to cause possible damage to expansion devices. Even in small refrigeration systems incorporating capillary tube as an expansion device, the refrigerant is supposed to be subcooled before entering the expansion device. In this study, experimental apparatus equipped with several thermocouples, pressure transducers and visualization device was constructed in order to observe the behavior of refrigerant flow at condenser outlet of a vapor compression refrigeration system. Visual observation as well as temperature and pressure readings indicate the presence of two-phase flow at highly subcooled temperature. An alternative equation was suggested to calculate the enthalpy of the two-phase refrigerant in subcooled region and verification test was conducted.

I would suggest that you experiment with something physical. I used tea bags. By "squares joined" I assumed that two squares had to have adjacent sides not just vertices. That is you can have The simplest pattern is probably the squares all in a line If you assume that each squarer has a side of length 1 then this has a perimeter of 26. So does my first diagram and so does has a perimeter of 24. I am going to draw the last two diagrams again and mark the points that have "four radiating lines". I have marked these points with two colours, red if the point is completely surrounded by the orange squares and black otherwise. Try some different arrangements, measure the perimeter, count the points of each kind that have "four radiating lines" and see if you can find a relationship among these three numbers.

Apache HTTP Server The Apache HTTP Server, typically called simply “Apache”, is a free and open-source cross-platform web server. Apache is the most widely used web server. As of March 2018, the Apache web server was estimated to serve 43% of all active websites and 37% of the top million websites. The Apache web server supports virtual hosting. This allows one Apache installation to serve many different Web sites. Apache uses compiled modules to extend the core functionality. These can range from authentication schemes, popular compression methods, to supporting server-side programming languages such as Perl, Python, Tcl and PHP. Instead of implementing a single architecture, Apache provides a variety of MultiProcessing Modules (MPMs), which allow it to run in either a process-based mode, a hybrid (process and thread) mode, or an event-hybrid mode, in order to better match the demands of each particular infrastructure. Apache Support Services from BriteWire BriteWire provides support, development, and consulting services for Apache HTTP Server.

Gut bacteria use flavonoids (found in fruits, teas, etc.) to control the immune response and protect against severe damage from the influenza virus (in mice). The specific human-associated gut microbe that protected against the influenza virus is called Clostridium orbiscindens. The bacteria metabolize flavonoids and produce a compound called desaminotyrosine (DAT) which helps produce interferon, a signaling molecule that activates the immune system. This helped protect the lungs against damage from the flu virus. The DAT did not prevent the flu but it significantly reduced the severity of it. Some of the main dietary sources of flavonoids include tea, citrus fruit, berries, red wine, apples, and legumes.

The modern water softener is a system which contains a material called ion exchange resin, to remove hardness minerals from the hard water supply. The removal of the minerals eliminates scale in the hot water system, bathroom and shower fittings, and puts a stop to scum forming when soap is used in sinks, baths and with washing and laundry. The water softener consists of three basic components: - The resin tank, containing the ion exchange resin; - The brine tank, containing salt which is dissolved from brine; - The control head, containing the mechanisms which determines when regeneration is to take place and which controls the operation of the valves during regeneration. In modern units the resin tank is usually located inside the brine tank, with the brine tank being the “external cabinet” of the softener. The dimensions of the cabinet may vary, but usually the cabinet can be conveniently installed under the kitchen sink.

Name Building Blocks My husband said the Isaiah 9:6 verse always makes him think of climbing a mountain. He explained that it feels like the names are building on each other, reaching to the top. Have students write the names of Jesus on boxes (shoe boxes?) and do a memory verse STACKING activity. Discussion idea: You could also put a question inside each box, and toss the box to a student to open and answer it. Reflection: And finally, you can have each student write an idea about the name, and put it in each box for a reflection reading. ADD some Bible dictionary work to define and explain what Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace, Immanuel mean. These definitions could be written on the underside of their respective box, and used for a quiz where students see how many boxes (names) they can define correctly in the shortest amount of time.

Tinnitus is the medical term for when patients describe hearing a noise in the absence of outside sound. This noise may be heard in one ear or the other or even “in the head.” It is typically a ringing-type noise but many different types of tinnitus exist. Tinnitus is most often related to underlying hearing loss but, in some cases, there may be another underlying cause especially in cases where tinnitus is always and only in one ear, is pulsatile or sounds like a clicking noise. Complete evaluation including physical exam and audiologic testing can help your ENT physician help you understand this sound that you may be hearing. Also read more in Conditions We Treat….

Pipes are a nutrient oasis for tree roots. Why? They contain oxygen, nutrients, and water, things the roots naturally seek. Vapor from the pipes escapes to the outside soil and the roots grow toward the moisture in the pipe. If it can, the root will find a crack or small hole in the pipe and then grow—which widens the hole in the pipe and makes things worse. Once inside, the root will continue to grow which then acts as a collector of toilet paper and waste, causing blocks to the line. Eventually, the clog will completely block the flow and make a big mess as well as a costly fix. Fortunately, there are four ways to help prevent these problems before they start. Here are tips for how to protect your plumbing from tree roots:

This popular, perennial garden plant has found its way into the 'wild', to a large extent by being discarded along with garden waste; it is now naturalised and appears, away from cultivated sites, on old walls and bare, rough ground. Growing to an erect 80 cm, it bears pink-red flowers (30-45 mm) in terminal racemes. These distinctive flowers have two lips which form a mouth through which visiting pollinators must push. The lower lip serves as a landing pad which, with the pressure of the bee's weight on it, causes the throat to open, allowing it to progress, head-first, into the broad pouch where it finds its nectar. It is a bushy plant with narrow, ovate, untoothed leaves. Flowering from June to September, it belongs to the Plantaginaceae family. I first saw this plant, growing away from habitation, near Wellingtonbridge, Co Wexford in 2008 and photographed it in 2009. If you are satisfied you have correctly identified this plant, please submit your sighting to the National Biodiversity Data Centre

There's a saying that the word obfuscate obfuscates - and it does; and if you're wondering what this is all about, well, this is the exact situation that Microsoft has created by consolidating the access portal for many of their online services where you can use either your personal or work Microsoft accounts. To add to this mix, you can use your work email address to create a personal account. But why would this be an issue? Possibly, one of Microsoft's services, such as Skype, may have been utilised - and this would have required a personal Microsoft account. As such, you likely would have used your work account in order to create the Skype account. If you're on Office 365, this would then mean you have both personal work accounts with the same login, namely your work email address. More recently, Microsoft is making the distinction more clear, such as in the example below, if logging into web services like OneDrive, it clearly gives you the option to sign into the correct account. Mobile devices are a different story, and apps may not be updated to make the distinction. To avoid confusion in regard to this ensure that you use different passwords for both accounts.

Students will use photos of Mom (a female eagle) and DM2 (a male eagle) to identify observable traits and use them to explain or justify how they know which eagle is Mom and which eagle is DM2. This lesson will take 45 minutes of class time. This lesson would work very well with Compare and Contrast Male and Female Adult Bald Eagles. You will need photos of Mom and DM2. They are included in the downloadable Lesson Package or can be downloaded individually below the lesson plan. Teachers are welcome to apply for an educational account to observe incubation, hatching, and eaglets with other classes from around the country. The chat is moderated by Raptor Resource Project volunteers. Link: https://www.raptorresource.org/classroom/.

Several weeks ago our colleagues in the Center for Teaching and Learning at the Johns Hopkins School of Public Health presented the very informative half-day symposium Peer to Peer: Engaging Students in Learning and Assessment. Speakers presented on their real-life experiences implementing peer learning strategies in the classroom. There were hands-on activities demonstrating the efficacy of peer-to-peer learning. Two presentations focused on peer assessment highlighting the data on how peer assessment measures up to instructor assessment and giving examples of use of peer assessment. If you missed it, the presentations were recorded and are now available. A previous post highlighted Howard Rheingold’s presentation From Pedagogy to Peeragogy: Social Media as Scaffold for Co-learning. You will need to bring up the slides separately – there is a link for them on the CTL page. For additional material on peer learning and assessment the JHSPH CTL resources page is loaded with information on the subject, outlining best practices and highlighting references and examples.

When and How did the specialty develop? The field of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation began in the 1930s to address musculoskeletal and neurological problems. It broadened its scope considerably after World War II. As thousands of veterans came back to the United States with serious disabilities, the task of helping to restore them to productive lives became a new direction for the field. The Advisory Board of Medical Specialties granted PMR its approval as a specialty of medicine in 1947. The specialty experienced an evolution in the 1990s to provide state of the art sub-specialty training in many fields including musculoskeletal and procedural pain management.

Researchers have determined that thinning forests is an effective technique for recovery and maintenance of forests dealing with climate change. The study comes from the University of Granada, the Andalusian Institute of Agricultural Research and Training, Fishing, Food and Organic Production and the Pyrenean Institute of Ecology of the Spanish National Research Council. The thinning method, which involves decreasing the number of trees in a given area to maximize resources for the remaining trees, was tested by taking high-resolution measurements in the variations of tree trunk diameters. This allowed scientists to understand the short-term relationships between climactic changes and tree growth. Researchers previously measured the width of the trunks’ rings, but those measurements didn’t show changes during a shorter time frame. The Indiana Wildlife Federation warns that rising temperatures and altered precipitation in the Midwest will likely have widespread consequences for Indiana’s forests. The Indiana Department of Natural Resources has used thinning methods in the past to remove pressure from overpopulated forests, but this study presents the method as a technique to save trees from climatic pressure as well.

More books have been written about Abraham Lincoln, the sixteenth president of the United States, than any other individual in American history. Even before he was fatally shot by John Wilkes Booth on April 14, 1865, Lincoln had been the focus of numerous books. In 2011 the Ford’s Theatre Center for Education and Leadership constructed a thirty-four foot tower of books about Abraham Lincoln, symbolizing that the last word about this great man will never be written. The three story-high tower contained 6,800 books, representing just a fraction of the more than 15,000 books written about Abraham Lincoln and his Presidency. “Looking at Lincoln” features a selection of biographies of Abraham Lincoln ranging from early works written during his lifetime right up to more contemporary accounts of his life and career. The exhibition was on view January 26 through June 17, 2016. Exhibition curated by Tim Murray.

Artist's impression. Adapted (badly) by J. Marchant from free cake drawing released under Creative Commons CC0 at Pixabay. This year the Liverpool Telescope celebrated 15 years of continuous robotic observation of the Universe. The telescope went robotic for the first time on 22nd April 2004 (see archive news item) and routine robotic operations began in December 2004 (see the Night Reports from that time for a bit of nostalgia). Since then the LT has been delivering high impact science by robotically observing the night sky from its home on the Canary Island of La Palma. To mark this milestone, Liverpool John Moores University's Astrophysics Research Institute held a celebration on 24th April at nearby Sensor City in Liverpool. The evening brought together members of the LT team, past and present, to provide an exciting history from concept to construction with an insight into daily operation. Prof Iain Steele talked about how and why the initial concept came about, the building of the telescope, and its first ever observation ("first light"). Dr Chris Copperwheat reviewed the impact on science that the LT has made over the years, and Dr Helen Jermak talked about the LT going into the future.

Effects of water storage on the earth's wobble Hinnov, Linda Alide MetadataShow full item record An evaluation of the global water storage contribution to the Chandler wobble has never been undertaken because: (1) the hydrological data necessary for the reconstruction of an extended monthly time series have not been available; and (2) the water storage contribution has traditionally been regarded as relatively unimportant because of its minor role in the excitation of the annual wobble. However, a crude approximation of the global water storage series is possible using worldwide records of monthly precipitation and temperature, accumulating precipitation at individual locations whenever temperatures are at 0° Celsius or below. Comparison of this modeled series with a previous estimate of the annual component of the global water balance, and with the observed monthly polar motion series, indicates good agreement with the former, and a significant correlation with the latter near the Chandler frequency.

The brain is at the center of our nervous system. It sits atop our heads, where it sends and receives important messages. These messages travel through our nerves and inform our actions. Conversely, our brains also react to neural messages that it receives from our nerves. These neurons communicate quickly back and forth. When our fingertips graze over something hot, our brain gets the information instantly and tell us to pull our hand away. The brain and the nerves work together constantly to keep us in check. Anything that seems instinctual or automatic is due to the nervous system. When we right ourselves after a moment of falling, this is due to the cerebellum. When we feel hunger or thirst after a while of fasting, this is due to the hypothalamus. Or when we feel the sudden urge to run away during stressful situations, this is due to the amygdala. The main route that nerves travel down, before branching off to their repsective body parts, is the spinal cord. The spinal cord extends from the brain down to the tail bone. Though it is a bundle of nervous, many nerves branch off and continue along to places like our arms and legs.

The term “100-year flood” means a flood event might occur only once every 100 years, “500-year flood” once every 500 years, and a “1000-year flood” once every 1000 years. FALSE. These terms, from the 1960s, are rather outdated and misleading misnomers. In the first place, we do not have 100 years of data much less 1,000 years’ worth of data. Consider: From August 2015 to August 2016, there were eight “500 year” floods in the US. From 2010 to 2014, there were six “1,000 year” floods in the US. Houston had three “1,000 year” floods in back to back years (2015, 2016, and 2017)! According to USGS (US Geological Survey), over the course of a 30-year mortgage, a house in a floodplain has a 26% chance of being inundated at least once. Recent studies indicate over 60 million Americans may be vulnerable to flooding by 2050. This trend of more flooding is due to climate changes, over development of land, and more numerous and more intense storms.

Steeper and higher than mere hills, mountains are over 1,900 feet in elevation and typically have steep, sloping sides and rounded ridges and peaks. They tend to be rocky and barren above the tree line, and many mountains get significant amounts of snow in the winter months. They are formed when the Earth’s tectonic plates collide, pushing the crust of the planet higher, forming mountain ranges. Some mountain ranges like the Himalayas are still growing, while others, like the Appalachian Mountains, are slowly diminishing under the forces of wind and rain erosion. Volcanic mountains, like Mt. St. Helens in Washington and Mt. Kilimanjaro in Tanzania, rise up from the surrounding flat terrain in dramatic splendor. Mountain habitats vary tremendously from the lush, lower elevation foothills to the harsh, often barren, mountain summits. Atop alpine mountains, the temperature drops, the air thins, and the sunlight is harsh. While many different plant and animal species thrive in lower elevations, it is an unforgiving landscape above the tree line. However, some hardy species still survive at high elevations.

Memorable Manitobans: Patrick Lawler (1835-1905) He was born in County Clare, Ireland, in November 1835. At 14 years of age he enlisted in the 31st City of London regiment, known as “The Buffs”, and saw service with the British army in many places, such as the Crimea, Malta, India, China. He arrived in Winnipeg in July 1874, and found employment as a police sergeant. In 1880 Lawler was appointed Governor of the Provincial Gaol, which position he held at the time of his death. He served throughout the North West Rebellion of 1885. At its close he was gazetted for the honourary rank of Captain in the Canadian militia in recognition of his services to his country. He was a Freemason, member of Ancient Landmark Lodge. He died on 30 October 1905, survived by his wife and four daughters and one son.

In Canada, the First Nations are the predominant indigenous peoples in Canada south of the Arctic Circle. Those in the Arctic area are distinct and known as Inuit. The Métis, another distinct ethnicity, developed after European contact and relations primarily between First Nations people and Europeans. There are 634 recognized First Nations governments or bands spread across Canada, roughly half of which are in the provinces of Ontario and British Columbia. The photographs below were taken circa 1910 by Harry Pollard. He was born in Tillsonburg, Ontario in 1880. Pollard became a well-established photographer in the community. His famous collection includes photographs of the Klondike gold rush of 1888 and 1889, and hundreds of pictures of Alberta First Nations. In 1924 the Associated Screen News, a subsidiary of the Canadian Pacific Railway (CPR), hired Pollard to photograph their global ocean cruises for promotional purposes. It was this job that took him around the world 14 times.

Objectives: To determine if acculturation is associated with smoking, alcohol use, and physical activity among older Mexican Americans. Methods: Multivariate analyses of data from the Hispanic Established Populations for the Epidemiologic Studies of the Elderly (H-EPESE) were used. Results: Those who were more proficient in English were more likely to be former or current smokers than nonsmokers and former or current drinkers than abstainers. In addition, those who had greater contact with Anglo-Americans were more likely to be former or current smokers than nonsmokers and former or current drinkers than abstainers. Conclusions: These results can assist health promotion programs in identifying those most at risk of engaging in negative health behaviors. - Health behavior ASJC Scopus subject areas - Health(social science) - Social Psychology - Public Health, Environmental and Occupational Health

In this write up, the readers will get data on future know-how and learn to what extent fashionable technology has been developed to help the expansion of human civilization. I do not watch t.v., and hardly read scientific information, not being one wit fascinated with it, and not understanding most of it. Thus, I’m ignorant, and if the world had ended when it was turned on, I would not have been any the wiser, and that is high quality with me. The structure of a newspaper firm modified attributable to competitors. The studying of newspaper could be very useful for the students to develop their language potential and information of the world. This news was handled with reverence for people who have taken contrarian views on the matter of climate change. The authors of Planetary Boundaries: Exploring the Secure Operating Space for Humanity, tried to establish probably the most serious environmental threats the human race currently faces, and establish the potential “tipping factors” past which the nice Holocene era would disappear and the Earth’s pure assets can be severely depleted. These denunciator’s are simply repeating things they’ve read on an Web Darlie help site or noticed on a YouTube video …

SOLAR COOLING TO BEAT GLOBAL WARMING. More and more people need cooling to survive in a warming world. But without a technology breakthrough, rising demand for air conditioning means that by 2050, it could account for 37% of all electricity used globally. And experts say greener air conditioning would prevent more carbon emissions than solar farms, rooftop solar, LED lighting and electric vehicles combined. Imagine we could cool air in buildings – and even in hot-humid outdoor areas – naturally, using only the sun and water harvested from the air? Introducing AirSolaris COOL — air conditioning re-invented.

Mass surveillance in the United States After the First World War and the Second World War, the surveillance continued, by programs such as the Black Chamber and Project SHAMROCK. The formation and growth of federal law-enforcement and intelligence agencies such as the FBI, CIA, and NSA helped surveillance, such as the COINTELPRO projects from 1956–1971. A series of media reports in 2013 revealed more recent programs and techniques employed by the US intelligence community. Advances in computer and information technology allow the creation of huge national databases that facilitate mass surveillance in the United States. - Glenn Greenwald. (31 July 2013).

Policy and Legislation News Drought-Stressed Forest Fueled Amazon Fires 06 November 2019 A new satellite-based map of a section of the Amazon Basin reveals that at least some of the massive fires burning there this past summer were concentrated in water-stressed areas of the rainforest. The stressed plants released measurably less water vapor into the air than unstressed plants; in other words, they were struggling to stay cool and conserve water, leaving them more vulnerable to the fires. The fires in the Amazon Basin, which continue to burn into November, are mainly the result of such human activities as land clearing and deforestation. The pattern — spotted from space by NASA's ECOsystem Spaceborne Thermal Radiometer Experiment on Space Station (ECOSTRESS) — points to how water-stressed plants can impact the spread of fires. The data may one day help NASA's Earth-observing missions predict the path of future forest or brush fires like those currently raging in California. Image credit: NASA/JPL-Caltech/Earth Observatory - This satellite image, taken by NASA's Earth-observing Terra satellite on 18 August 2019, shows the ECOSTRESS study area in the Amazon Basin and smoke from active fires in the rainforest.

Armed conflicts are a tragic reality of the world that we live in. However, as set out in the Convention on Certain Conventional Weapons (CCW), conventional weapons that are excessively injurious or whose effects are indiscriminate need not be part of this reality. The CCW is an important instrument of international humanitarian law. A priority of the CCW States Parties is expanding the Convention’s membership. Currently there are 118 States Parties to the CCW and the latest country to join is Iraq. This CCW Booklet provides a brief background and history to the Convention and its Protocols, interesting facts on the CCW, information on how States can join and participate in the CCW’s meetings, and the mandate of and support provided by the CCW Implementation Support Unit. The booklet is designed to be a guide for those States considering joining the CCW and a useful resource for those working to promote universalization. Publication date: December 2014

The lower portion of Crab Claw Kelp has a wood-like texture and is dark grey in color, further up it is light brown in color, then a dull purple. Bioluminescent cyan spots speckle the purple section. The branching protrusions at the top of the plant share this cyan coloration. Data Bank Entry A blue-tipped kelp species which tends to grow in or near to acidic brine pools on the ocean floor. These brine pools are hazardous to most lifeforms, however the crab claw has adapted by developing a thick, inflexible root system which can withstand the environment, and which raises the sensitive blue feeding nodules above the level of the brine.

Sunday, August 4, 2019 Consent: What does it mean?? The Meaning of Consent I was recently at the hospital with a patient who was getting a complex surgery. The patient didn't seem to understand what was going to happen during or after surgery. Just before the surgery we saw the surgeon who was going to explain the procedure. The surgeon had the consent form on a clipboard ready for signing. I offered to read the consent with or for the patient after the doctor explained the procedure. The doctor did the explanation, handed the patient the forms and the patient signed without reading. The AMA says: The process of informed consent occurs when communication between a patient and physician results in the patient’s authorization or agreement to undergo a specific medical intervention. To enable patients to participate meaningfully in decisions about health care, physicians have a responsibility to provide information and help patients understand their medical condition and options for treatment. No where does it say that the patient who signs, actually understands the procedure or surgery only that they are authorizing the procedure /surgery. So, does the consent mean that the patient understands the procedure and risks? Maybe it means that to the clinician, To the patient it may mean only that they are giving permission.

By Joseph Fitsanakis – IntelNews: NATO obtained Soviet Novichok nerve agents through German intelligence in the 1990s. Some North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) member states obtained access to the Soviet Union’s so-called ‘Novichok’ nerve agents in the 1990s, through an informant recruited by German intelligence, according to reports. NATO countries refer to ‘Novichok-class’ nerve agents to describe a series of weaponized substances that were developed by the Soviet Union and post-Soviet Russia from the early 1970s to at least 1993. They are believed to be the deadliest nerve agents ever produced, but Moscow denies their very existence.

Researchers at EPFL have come up with an inexpensive way to store solar energy as hydrogen. By doing this Solar Energy can be stored during the day and used at a later moment in time, for example at night. That way you would not lose any energy you harnessed during peak solar hours. It is not the first time researchers have managed to convert solar energy into hydrogen. The most successful iteration of a device like this was able to attain an efficiency of 12.4 percent, but the materials used were expensive and would cost about $10,000 to cover a 10 square centimeter surface. The EPFL researchers, led by Kevin Sivula, wanted to make something that could actually be produced and so they limited themselves to inexpensive materials and to production techniques that could easily be scaled up.
