FMD (contagious diseases) Foot-and-mouth disease or hoof-and-mouth disease is an infectious and sometimes fatal viral disease that affects cloven-hoofed animals, including domestic and wild bovids.The virus causes a severe fever for two or three days, followed by blisters inside the mouth and on the feet that may rupture and cause lameness. HS means haemorrhagic septicaemia. It’s a contagious disease which occurs due to bacterial infection pneumonia formation in blood & causes fever, this is because of improper maintenance, inadequate ventilation, poor & inexpensive barns, usually it affects kids due to the respiratory problem. It is an acute infectious but not contagious disease of cattle, goat & sheep. The disease is characterized by development of gangrenous and emphysematous myositis & recitation in heavy muscle like glute al muscle. Black Quarter found mainly in goats, sheep’s, cows & buffaloes, & its symptoms were Loss of appetite Cracked skin, Crepitating swellings often on the shoulder

By Paul Brewin The new species and new records keep pouring in as the SMSG and AIMS team is on its 10th day of our 2015 Ascension Island diving expedition. As with previous years, specialists Jude Brown and Peter Wirtz helped identify crustaceans, nudibranchs, flatworms, anemones, and corals that are either new records for Ascension, or new species to science. This year the team has focused on those places that have been historically overlooked, such as the labyrinth of spaces in tile fish piles (see previous blog entry), cryptic species living inside rhodoliths (balls of calcareous algae that contain small spaces), under rocks, and interesting commensals such as tiny almost translucent crustaceans that live on black coral trees. Photos of crustacean, flatworm and nudibranch It is difficult to count up exactly how many new critters we’ve found at the moment without more detailed study on each taxa. But for now, its clear that the marine biodiversity inventory of Ascension Island is still climbing, continuing to highlight the uniqueness of this marine biodiversity hotspot in the middle of the equatorial Atlantic.

Monsters captivated the imagination of medieval men and women, just as they continue to fascinate us today. Drawing on the Morgan Library & Museum’s superb collection of illuminated manuscripts, this major exhibition— the first of its kind in North America—will explore the complex social role of monsters in the Middle Ages. Medieval Monsters will lead visitors through three sections based on the ways monsters functioned in medieval societies. “Terrors” explores how monsters enhanced the aura of those in power, be they rulers, knights, or saints. A second section, “Aliens,” demonstrates how marginalized groups in European societies—such as Jews, Muslims, women, the poor, and the disabled—were further alienated by being figured as monstrous. The final section, “Wonders,” considers a group of strange beauties and frightful anomalies that populated the medieval world. Whether employed in ornamental, entertaining, or contemplative settings, these fantastic beings were meant to inspire a sense of marvel and awe in their viewers.

Proteins Regulate Blood Sugar By Kathleen Blanchard RN for eMaxHealth.com A new protein discovery could become a new target for treating diabetes. What scientists have discovered is that A-kinase anchoring proteins or AKAPs influence levels of glucose in the body in a first discovery. The researchers say the new finding means they can move forward to develop drugs that interfere with the protein’s function. For their study the researchers used imaging techniques combined with genetically modified insulin cells and whole mice. They found that mice lacking AKAP150 anchoring protein didn’t produce as much insulin from beta cells in the pancreas, but they had better insulin sensitivity in skeletal muscles. The scientists were able to show glucose control came from a seven-amino-acid sequence in the anchor protein that directly interacts with the surface of phosphatase enzyme. To learn more, head on over here.

Serial extraction is the carefully planned and selective removal of baby (primary) teeth to create room for incoming permanent (secondary) teeth. Dentists or orthodontists consider removing teeth because after age 8, the space for a child's teeth (arch length) doesn't increase. Severe crowding of teeth at this age means that permanent teeth are likely to come in out of place. This can result in a bad bite or crooked teeth (malocclusion). Often an orthodontist will remove the primary canine teeth after the two front secondary incisors on top and bottom have erupted. This makes room for the permanent incisors. After 2 years, when the first premolars and permanent canines are ready to erupt, the orthodontist again checks for crowding. More teeth are removed if needed. Often the orthodontist chooses to remove the first premolars. Medical Review:Adam Husney, MD - Family Medicine & Donald Sproule, MDCM, CCFP - Family Medicine & Martin J. Gabica, MD - Family Medicine & William F. Hohlt, DDS - Orthodontics

Last week Morgan, one of our Senior Consultants, attended a Chartered Institute of Ecological and Environmental Management (CIEEM) training seminar on Biodiversity Offsetting. This day facilitated sensible debate about the value and application of Biodiversity Offsetting between peers from a range of Environmental Consultancy firms. The primary principal of Offsetting is the creation of ex-situ like-for-like (or enhanced) habitat at dedicated offset sites where development stands to irreversibly destroy or degrade in-situ habitats. Many, including the Government, are selling this as a simplified way to address biodiversity concerns within planning. Defra’s pilot scheme for testing Offsetting comes to an end this month, however we can’t help but notice a number of fairly major flaws in the pilot methodology and its practical application. Whilst in some cases it may be an acceptable approach, or at least the best approach we have to work with, Offsetting could stand to complicate development schemes and add additional cost. To discuss how Biodiversity Offsetting may change the planning process with regards to biodiversity in the near future call one of the Greengage team on 020 544 3995.

Background: When considering the accuracy and applicability of a psychological theory, one must consider the context in which it was developed. For example, a theory developed and tested within an Individualist society, may not apply to people raised in a Collectivist society. This is the case for the vast majority of psychological theories (Henrich, Heine, & Norenzayan, 2010), including Maslow’s hierarchy of needs. Essay: Maslow’s theory on the hierarchy of needs reflects universal motivations that all humans possess, regardless of whether they live in an Individualistic or Collectivist society. In your essay, take a position on the statement (i.e., indicate whether you agree or disagree) and present a critical discussion of the research evidence that supports your position.

Alaska Ghost Town – King Island abandoned for 50 years A century ago, King Island was a bustling community of 200 people who passed their days hunting seals and their long winter nights dancing beneath the wide Alaska skies. But now, after a series of tragedies, the island stands deserted, reduced to a collection of crumbling, empty homes – a mere skeleton of the thriving neighborhood it once was. Seventy years ago, as the island’s men were shipped off to battle in World War II and a savage outbreak of tuberculosis claimed many of those left behind, numbers began to dwindle. The lure of jobs and better medical care on the mainland also added to the exodus, and finally the Bureau of Indian affairs closed the island’s only school in 1959 because of fears of a rock slide.

were close by Based on the books by Jozef Rulof. The illustrations by Gustave Doré for the ‘Divinia Commedia’ by Dante touch on the spiritual reality of the hereafter. Illustration: Divina Commedia. Dante Alighieri (1265 - 1321) wrote the ‘Divina Commedia’, considered as a peak in world literature. It is a poem about a journey through three worlds of the hereafter: hell, mount purgatory and heaven. According to Jozef Rulof, Dante experienced actual spiritual out-of-body experiences and under leadership of his spiritual guide he visited dark and luminous spheres in the hereafter. Many of his descriptions and the illustrations by Gustave Doré (1832 - 1883) touch on the spiritual reality of the inhabitants of these spheres.

The Urban Street Stormwater Guide illustrates a vision of how cities can utilize one of their best assets—streets—to address resiliency and climate change while creating public spaces that are truly public, and nurturing streets that deliver social and economic value while protecting resources and reconnecting natural ecological processes. About The Guide The Urban Street Stormwater Guide is a first-of-its-kind collaboration between city transportation, public works, and water departments to advance the discussion about how to design and construct sustainable streets. The Urban Street Stormwater Guide provides cities with national best practices for sustainable stormwater management in the public right-of-way, including core principles about the purpose of streets, strategies for building inter-departmental partnerships around sustainable infrastructure, technical design details for siting and building bioretention facilities, and a visual language for communicating the benefits of such projects. The guide sheds light on effective policy and programmatic approaches to starting and scaling up green infrastructure, provides insight on innovative street design strategies, and proposes a framework for measuring performance of streets comprehensively.

On Aug. 21, a 70-mile-wide ribbon from Oregon to South Carolina called the “path of totality” will experience a total solar eclipse. Large swaths of farmland in the Great Plains and Midwest will be plunged into darkness for 2 1/2 minutes, and temperatures will drop about 10 degrees in the middle of the day. But as millions of people look up at the sky, many Midwest scientists will turn their eyes and cameras toward the plants and animals on the ground. And they’re not sure what will happen. “It’s never really been studied systematically,” says Angela Speck, director of astronomy at the University of Missouri, Columbia. Speck says different parts of the Earth experience a total eclipse about once a year, and that makes tracking changes in animal and plant behavior challenging.

More than likely, the fluid you are seeing is either water (if the preening occurs after bathing as the water is coming off the feathers) or saliva. The swan rubs its head and neck at the top of the tail on the uropygial oil ( preen) gland. This yellowish to clear oily substance is then transferred along the swan’s body to make the feathers repel water and keep the feathers healthy. There is also some research that states the oily substance may contain antibodies to keep the feathers healthy. Other research states that the oil increases the swan’s ability to detect ultraviolet rays. This may help the swan identify other swans from a distance. The fluid you are seeing could also be saliva as the swan transfers the oil across its body. The oil may be distasteful and the swan produces saliva as a reaction to the oil or uses the saliva to help move the oil more readily across the feathers. In any case, as long as the swan is eating, pooping and preening, these are indicators that the swan is healthy and acting normally. We hope this information is beneficial. Enjoy the swans!

NIWA has built flow stations on rivers and canals for decades. While technology has changed over the years, we've still achieved a high level of standardization. Because continuous direct water flow measurement can be complicated and time consuming, the standard method that NIWA uses in its National Hydrometric Network and Irrigation Scheme water flow stations is to measure water level, which is comparatively easy, and calculate the flow from a mathematical equation. We can get this equation two ways: We can build a "v notch' weir at the site and measure water level upstream of it. The geometry of the weir defines the mathematical relationship. The weir is usually made from concrete and so the equation stays accurate for the life of the weir. We can choose a stable site and carry out a gauging to establish the relationship between water level and flow rate. The relationship may need to be re-established regularly, but this depends on the stability of the channel cross section. NIWA's standard method is to measure water level using a stilling well and water level encoder connected to a recording device.

This term, Isaac Newton Primary School entered a new event in their sports competition programme – Seated Volleyball. Seated Volleyball is an inclusive version of Volleyball. The rules are the same as the original form of Volleyball with the exception that players must be sitting on the floor whenever they make contact with the ball. The sport features a smaller court (10 metres by six metres) and a lower net. Invented in 1965, Seated Volleyball became a full Paralympic event in 1980. A team of four children went to the competition at Kings School following a series of practice sessions. The children picked up on the rules and techniques very quickly, winning all three of their matches! They were crowned winners of the tournament, presented with a trophy and medals and will now represent the Grantham area at the Lincolnshire County Games in the summer term.

Gerris gibbifer is a pond skater found in a variety of mainly acidic habitats from lowlands up to about 300 metres. It occurs in shallow Sphagnum pools, stone built artificial ponds, moorland ditches and the backwaters of streams. There are two generations a year, the first maturing in July and the second in September. Overwintering adults may appear on warm January days but generally leave hibernation in March. Both short winged (brachypterous) and fully winged (macropterous) forms occur, the latter being more common. The wing covers (elytra) are similar in length in both morphs, those in brachypters being slightly shorter than those in macropters. The map is based on records from NBN Gateway, with yellow dots showing pre 1990 records, reds dots 1990 – 2015 records and red on yellow dots overlapping records. G. gibbifer has not been recorded in Ireland Gerris gibbifer is easily distinguished from other similar looking gerrids by the presence, in both sexes, of a small yellow tubercle on the metasternum (ventral surface of the segment bearing the hind legs), as illustrated below. Length 10 – 13 mm.

For many of us, if we hear a buzzing or see a bee or wasp, our first reaction is to try to move away—or even get rid of the offending insect. First, it’s important to know that there’s not just one type of bee or one type of wasp. In fact, there are over 20,000 species of bees and over 30,000 species of wasps. The most notable of those bee types is, of course, the honeybee. That is essential to crops—bees pollinate more than half of all our fruit and vegetable crops, and also produce millions of pounds of honey each year. Bees congregate in what can be huge colonies, up to tens of thousands of bees, while wasps tend to be less communal in their living patterns. Even within the wasps species though, some are more solitary than others—as are some bees. Once you learn a little about bees and wasps, you can then learn how to live more harmoniously with those insects. This graphic can help.

A territorial approach to the Sustainable Development Goals When we think of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and the 2030 agenda, we tend to associate them with negotiations between UN member states. This is misleading. In a world that is increasingly urbanised, cities have become major drivers of national prosperity and well-being. The last edition of the “OECD Regions and Cities at Glance” (2018) highlights that in the past decade metropolitan areas represented around 60% of GDP and employment in the OECD area, and drove over 50% of GDP growth. The local dimension therefore matters crucially if we want the implementation of the SDGs to become a reality — as most underlying policies and investments are a shared responsibility across levels of government. ==> Read more Pic : © Ian Dick

Two deep-sea hydrothermal vent organisms, the tube worm Riftia pachyptila and the clam Calyptogena magnifica, contain superoxide dismutase, dianisidine peroxidase, and glutathione peroxidase. The tube worm trophosome exhibits an iron-containing superoxide dismutase, ordinarily associated with prokaryotes and not previously seen in an animal tissue, in accord with the presence of symbiotic bacteria in this tissue. The enzymes which provide a defense against oxygen toxicity are thus present in these animals. ASJC Scopus subject areas - Molecular Biology

The Indigenous community of El Chile, Matagalpa, has revived their community’s long history of weaving. As a teenager, Alba Rosa Mercado was part of a group of girls who were mentored by the community’s elders who still remembered how to do back-strap weaving. As an adult, Alba Rosa taught more community members the tradition and eventually was able to offer jobs to other community members. Today, there are 2 collectives in El Chile, which provide employment for women and a few men in the community. Some dedicate their time to weaving in the indigenous tradition of their ancestors on a back-strap loom, while others sew woven fabric into handbags, back-packs, wallets and change purses. Planting Hope supports the collective by purchasing their products at a fair-trade price and then selling them at craft fairs and markets in the US. Proceeds benefit Planting Hope’s projects in Nicaragua and support microloans to the cooperative, since tourism fell due to political unrest and Covid-19.

The use of Drones to cause damage and disruption is becoming ever more prevalent throughout the world. Terrorists have used them to carry and deploy explosive charges to critical infrastructure sites causing extensive damage and loss of life. They have also been used to cause significant disruption at airports resulting in the shutting down of operations for long periods causing flight delays and lost revenue. There have been incidents were Drones have been used to deploy contraband items to prisoners. Drones can also be used to provide surveillance of restricted areas facilitating espionage or the planning of intrusions. Price On Enquiry The WG 1 km Portable Anti-Drone Weapon is designed to disable hostile unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs). By using RF bands the drone will follow its programmed lost link protocol, likely using satellite navigation to return to its point of origin. If GNSS disruption is enabled, the drone can no longer return to its point of origin, so its only option is to land.

This Land Is Your Land About the Song This song was written in 1940. Guthrie was reportedly sick of hearing Kate Smith sing Irving Berlin's "God Bless America" and wrote this song as a critical commentary on that song. His initial chorus was "God Blessed America for Me". The prophetic verse about the "great high wall there" was one of Guthrie's original 1940 verses. This verse along with the ones about the sign saying "no tresspassing" and about hungry people in the city were (not surprisingly) left out of the many public school songbooks that included this song in the 1950's and 1960's. The first Seeger video was recorded above at the Washington Monument at Barack Obama's inauguration concert. The final video was recorded at a Live Aid concert just a few months before Seeger died.

Solar water heaters — also called solar domestic hot water systems — can be a cost-effective way to generate hot water for your home. They can be used in any climate, and the fuel they use — sunshine — is free. HOW THEY WORK Solar water heating systems include storage tanks and solar collectors. There are two types of solar water heating systems: active, which have circulating pumps and controls, and passive, which don’t. ACTIVE SOLAR WATER HEATING SYSTEMS There are two types of active solar water heating systems: - Direct circulation systems Pumps circulate household water through the collectors and into the home. They work well in climates where it rarely freezes. - Indirect circulation systems Pumps circulate a non-freezing, heat-transfer fluid through the collectors and a heat exchanger. This heats the water that then flows into the home. They are popular in climates prone to freezing temperatures.

September has gone by fast! Have a look at the solar radiation graph from data collected in Singapore for the month of September. There were two days during the month where the solar levels were much lower than average. This would suggest greater cloud cover. Now, compare the solar radiation data with relative humidity or air temperature and notice how the cloud cover effects them. Overlay the relative humidity or air temperature onto the solar radiation graph using the plot tools provided in the exploratory. This will help with the analysis. Note how the relative humidity stays at a higher level throughout the day and how the air temperature remains lower. See if you can extract any further information from this data and share it with us on socials by tagging @ScienceScope1.

Fusion Energy & Power : Applications, Technologies & Challenges Hardback Edited by Lionel Romero The worldwide fusion community continues its research efforts on magnetic confinement as the most promising, long-term, environmentally-friendly power source. Despite the ongoing fusion research efforts in many countries, the technology and materials-related challenges remain formidable and will hinder and delay the first fusion demonstration plant for decades. In this book, the current understanding of technology-related challenges facing fusion research are explored. Advances in fusion neutronics integral experiments in the benchmark mock assemblies for the blanket of a fusion-fission hybrid energy reactor are also described in brief. Cold Fusion (CF) is examined as well, with the authors' argument backed by evidence that cold fusion (CF) can become more understandable, and hence more enable to engineering, especially control engineering. The final chapter details the Force Free Helical Reactor (FFHR) and its implications on fusion power - Format: Hardback - Pages: 131 pages - Publisher: Nova Science Publishers Inc - Publication Date: 16/01/2017 - Category: Energy - ISBN: 9781634825481

John Brewer, 5 May 1983 Eighteenth-century states were built for war. Their largest organisations were armies and navies, the bulk of their taxes funded the armed forces, and their heroes were the leading soldiers and sailors whose valiant deeds attested to the power of the armigerous nation. War was the norm, peace an aberration – a pause when the great and little powers drew breath and prepared to continue the fight. Thus the period from the Glorious Revolution to the end of the Napoleonic wars was one of almost unmitigated hostility between England and France. Both nations mobilised an ever-growing war machine in the struggle for European supremacy and hegemony on three continents.

Concrete Shrinkage – Shrinkage of Concrete Concrete shrinks during setting and drying due to hydration of cement and produces shrinkage cracks. The drying shrinkage increases with an increase in cement content or an increase in water content. Shrinkage is greater with richer mixes (more of cement) and also with aluminious cements. Other things being equal, shrinkage of concrete is almost directly proportional to the amount of-:water in the mix. The type of aggregate used does not generally affect the shrinkage seriously though it has an indirect effect due to the difference of water/cement ratio depending on the type of the aggregate ; with large size of aggregate shrinkage is low. Where shrinkage may give rise to high tensile stresses such as in road slabs, lean dry mixes are desirable. Rich mixtures are uneconomical and are used only for impermeable constructions to ensure water-tightness.

Each year approximately 120,000 babies are born with birth defects. In an effort to battle this statistic and to provide support to expecting parents, we have created a free resource with comprehensive information about how to prevent birth defects from occurring. While not all can be prevented, awareness, education and proactive efforts can help increase your chance of having a healthy baby. Since development of many of these defects begins in the first trimester of pregnancy, prenatal care is the best method for prevention. We created this e-book for soon-to-be parents to serve as a helpful guide. The e-book identifies an action plan to help prevent birth defects and focus on lifestyle improvements. It also shows evidence of how certain medications can affect you and your baby during pregnancy. The key to prevention begins with awareness. By using this resource, parents can better prepare their baby for a healthy future.

The aim of this article is to draw attention to the social side of bullying and justification, in this context, the usefulness of reflexivity issues from the point of view of preventive and educational interactions. In addition to the victims and aggressors, bullying involves bystanders. Their behavior is not without significance for the entire process of abuse. They can strengthen the perpetrator or take the side of the victim, which helps contain and reduce further violence. Therefore, they provide great potential to counter the phenomenon of bullying. Particularly important is to increase their awareness of their role in this phenomenon and mobilize actively to do something against the violence. For this purpose, the reflective practice may be used. For that reason, in this text I will concentrate on practical reflections on raising students’ awareness of the essence of bullying and their role in this phenomenon. I will refer to the concept of the Graham Gibbs reflective cycle, because it seems to be particularly useful in this case.

Some children reside in an institution, such as a group home or psychiatric care facility. Child protective service employees must ensure children an youth's safety while they are in an institution’s care. It is possible that any form of abuse or neglect may occur while a child is in the care of an institution. If the maltreatment is caused by employees of the institution, it is classified as institutional abuse. Whenever anyone is aware of any form of child maltreatment occurring while the child is in the care of an institution, you should make a report. Some common examples of institutions include: - Emergency care facilities; - Licensed foster, pre-adoptive or kinship care homes for children in the custody of a County Department of Human Services; - Runaway shelters; - Division of Youth Correction facilities; - Licensed child care homes and facilities; - Youth group homes and group centers; - Residential facilities; and - Acute psychiatric care facilities.

This class is designed for an older youth and goes into more depth than the cubs’ class. Students are required to know a longer curriculum at each level. Students are taught proper falling techniques, defense techniques, strength/coordination development, and conflict recognition and preparedness. A variety of strategies are taught to students for conflict resolution, which in turn leads to a sense of empowerment and confidence. Dragons are also encouraged to be junior assistants with the cubs, modeling their knowledge/ leadership and instilling in them the responsibility of giving back to community. Through their teaching they learn to master concepts they teach and develop an investment in the students they work with. The beauty of maturity and leadership comes when sudents are empowered and trusted to convey instruction to our cubs. Responsibility creates an air of respect that is communicated throughout the school.

Lemons are a bright yellow citrus fruit originating from Asia used for culinary and medicinal uses. Lemons are available in many varieties including Meyer lemon which is less tart and is actually a hybrid and the Eureka Lemon is the tart lemon typically found in grocery stores. Lemons are so widely in cooking the many uses are too numerous to list but typical uses are for beverages, dressings, desserts, and in general to increase acidity levels in a dish to balance flavors. If you don't have fresh lemon you can, under some circumstances substitute1 tablespoon bottled juice per tablespoon fresh needed* or try one of these alternatives: OR> 3 tablespoons of brewed lemon tea OR> 1 tablespoon fresh lemon balm per lemon needed OR> 2-3 leaves of chopped lemon verbena per lemon needed OR> Lime juice (very different flavor profile, works well in Mexican cooking) *Bottled lemon juice is not always an advisable alternative to fresh but it really depends on how it is being used. metric conversions →

I have a text in my learning materials as follows: 彼ら は 自分 の 事 しか 考えて いません。 Its translation is apparently "they only think of themselves". Now it all makes sense to me until the ません at the end. To my mind it negates the entire sentence. So it means that they DON'T only think for themselves. However, obviously that isn't the case. If anyone could clear this up, or give me resource for it, that would be amazing. My Japanese level is elementary at the moment.

Sitting on the banks of the Mississippi, Saint Paul is home to multiple river terminals, where barges load and unload thousands of tons of cargo. Together with the Saint Paul Public School District’s Social Studies Department, the Saint Paul Port Authority produced this student workbook on the cargo “highway” that is the Mississippi River. (And this on-line content was developed and provided by SMM in partnership with SPPA.) The workbook was meant to go out to third-grade classrooms this year . . . but since Minnesota’s third-grade classes are now being held at home, the workbook can go straight home, too! The book includes Mississippi River-related drawing, writing, geography, and math activities (and more!) Check out the free PDF version of the workbook, and have fun!

Africa Joint Continental Strategy for COVID-19 Outbreak A novel coronavirus disease (COVID-19) has spread rapidly around the world since it was first identified in January 2020 in the People’s Republic of China. Existing data from China and other countries with outbreaks suggest that COVID-19: transmits readily through person-to-person contact, likely respiratory droplets; causes death from severe respiratory illness in approximately 2 percent of infected persons; and may be transmitted by infected people who have no or minimal symptoms. Because no vaccine yet exists to prevent infection nor medication to cure infection, COVID-19 will likely spread rapidly in communities and healthcare facilities and cause severe illness and death. Although the case-fatality remains low, a high percentage of the African population could be infected in the next year, resulting in large number of deaths, particularly in people with advanced age and/or underlying illnesses.

What heart disease is to humans, kidney disease is to pets — a leading cause of suffering and death. In their lifetime, over 1 in 3 cats and 1 in 10 dogs will get kidney disease.3 Worse, they typically show no signs of illness until their kidneys have lost most of their function permanently. As pets age, the likelihood pets will develop kidney disease worsens. In fact, more than half of cats over age 15 are afflicted.1 Now IDEXX SDMA, a breakthrough new test that screens for kidney disease, can detect this devastating disease months to years earlier.3 This gives you and your veterinarian the chance to take action and give your pet the best shot for a healthy, happy, long life — even with kidney disease.3 As the health advocate for your furry family members, be sure to ask your veterinarian for the IDEXX SDMA test.

There’s a lot of conversation these days around the concepts of global learning and SEL (social-emotional learning). Both are vital approaches to helping students grow into fully engaged young people, and there are creative ways teachers can combine global learning and SEL approaches to powerful effect. Related content: How to bring global learning to your classroom Check out these 3 creative ways to combine global learning and SEL Global learning starts with investigating the world, recognizing perspectives, and then communicating ideas to take action to make the world a better place. For example, the United Nations has 17 Sustainable Development Goals that range from supporting endangered species to responsible consumption to ensuring that everyone has access to a quality education. I use these goals as a framework for global learning in my classroom.

How to Remove a Shadow on Shapes in a PowerPoint Shadows on shapes in Microsoft's PowerPoint create the illusion of depth. Adding them can make the shapes seem to pop out toward the audience's eyes. Yet creative enhancements like shadows often come at the cost of clarity. The shadows -- or patterns, colors or animations -- may well draw attention from the slide's text, distracting viewers from your actual message. Remove shadows to simplify your slide's layout, cutting down on its clutter. Click the shape. PowerPoint will select it, placing grey points at its corners. Click "Format" from the menu bar. Click "Shape Effects" from the ribbon's Shape Styles tab to open a drop-down menu. Click "Shadow," the menu's second option, to open a submenu to the right of the main menu. Click "No Shadow," the first option in the submenu, to make the shadow vanish. - Comstock/Comstock/Getty Images

As mentioned in our report on the FreeStyle LibreLink app, "Glucose monitoring is one of the most intrusive parts of living with diabetes", according to Diabetes Australia chief executive Professor Greg Johnson. The University of Waterloo's approach is to use a small radar device (jointly developed with Infineon) and then apply machine learning to the data collected. The device transmits high-frequency radio waves and receives their reflections, just as radar is used to detect aircraft in the sky. "We want to sense blood inside the body without actually having to sample any fluid," said Professor George Shaker, who leads a large team working on the project. "Our hope is this can be realised as a smartwatch to monitor glucose continuously." Initial tests with volunteers at the Research Institute for Aging in Waterloo achieved results that were 85% as accurate as traditional blood analysis. "The correlation was actually amazing," said Shaker. "We have shown it is possible to use radar to look into the blood to detect changes." The plan is to improve the system for greater accuracy, and to obtain results through the skin. "I'm hoping we'll see a wearable device on the market within the next five years," said Shaker.

In the late winter as soon as the warmth of the sun melts the blanket of snow in the Bohor forests of Veliki Koprivnik and Veliki Javornik, the yellow flowers of the winter aconite (Eranthis hyemalis) pop out of the humus soil. This perennial, whose peltate leaves with several notches shoot out of the soil in late spring, has a height of 15 cm. The plant was brought from its homeland in the Balkans, and transplanted all over Europe. It was primarily planted in parks and gardens due to it its ornamental value and is rarely found in its natural habitat. There are only two reliable and confirmed natural habitats of the winter aconite, namely in Bohor, therefore in Slovenia it is categorized as an endangered plant species. - The habitats are located 17 km from the centre of Šentjur towards the southern-most part of the municipality in the direction of Planina- Sevnica, take the exit to Veliki Javornik or Veliki Koprivnik.

Artificial intelligence crashes are historically common: First, what caused previous AI winters? There was one straightforward reason: The technology did not work. Expert systems weren’t experts. Language translators failed to translate. Even Watson, after winning Jeopardy, failed to provide useful answers in the real-world context of medicine. When technology fails, winters come. Nearly all of AI’s recent gains have been realized due to massive increases in data and computing power that enable old algorithms to suddenly become useful. For example, researchers first conceived neural networks—the core idea powering much machine learning and AI’s notable advances—in the late 1950s. The worries of an impending winter arise because we’re approaching the limits of what massive data combined with hordes of computers can do.

Old Havana describes the central area of the original city of Havana, Cuba. In addition to having the largest concentration of colonial architecture in the western hemisphere, the Cuban capital boasts the largest collection of Spanish colonial military architecture. Old Havana and its fortifications were designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1982. Havana’s first settlement was built on the edge of Havana Bay. Spain established the city in 1519, one of the first cities in the new world to be founded by Europeans. The history of Havana spans three general periods: the Spanish colonial period (1519 to 1898); the American neo-colonial period (1898 to 1959); and the revolutionary period which began in 1960. The city’s architecture reflects elements of each of these periods. Nearly 20 percent of the Cuban population is over the age of 60, making it the oldest in Latin America. Night is the best time to capture a sense of the history and see the people of Old Havana. In the evening, the residents of Old Havana seem to acquire the heirloom quality of their surroundings – and doors become windows.

The Huffington Post September 22, 2011 By Chris Genovali, Paul Paquet and Chris Darimont In western Canada, wolves are routinely, baselessly and contemptuously blamed for the demise of everything from marmots to mountain caribou. Given that attitude, we at Raincoast Conservation Foundation are appalled, though not surprised, by Canada’s proposed strategy to recover dwindling populations of boreal forest caribou in northern Alberta’s tar sands. Essentially, the plan favours the destruction of wolves over any consequential protection, enhancement, or expansion of caribou habitat (“Federal recovery plan for caribou suggests thousands of wolves stand to die,” Winnipeg Free Press, September 12, 2011). To read the full article please visit The Huffington Post website.

Enzymatic inactivation of trichothecene mycotoxins in Fusarium head blight of wheat Fusarium head blight is a devastating fungal disease that infects cereal crops like wheat and barley by producing harmful toxins and reducing crop yields. In addition to helping Fusarium fungi infect crops, these toxins are a major health concern for animal and human consumers. Fusarium head blight results in billions of dollars in lost profits for farmers each year in the Midwest and around the world. Karl Wetterhorn in the Rayment Lab has spent his Ph.D. researching ways to combat the disease. He took a native enzyme from rice that can detoxify a small subset of the fungal toxins and used its structural information to design an enzyme capable of protecting crops against a wider range of toxins. He also developed a protocol by which scientists could find enzymes capable of permanently detoxifying the fungal toxins. Learn more about his work at his Thesis Review at 12:30 p.m. on Monday, Dec. 3 in Room 1211 of the HFD Biochemical Sciences Building.

Pharmacists in Turkey, like the author’s parents, are working overtime to serve their communities and to adapt quickly to shifting government orders during the COVID-19 pandemic. While steps are being taken to mitigate the impact of the virus on the most vulnerable, various forms of inequality entrenched across the country mean that certain groups suffer much more than others. At the spring 2013 meetings, World Bank President Jim Young Kim set 2030 as the target date for eradicating extreme poverty, defined as subsistence on less than $1.25 per day, across the globe. In line with this goal, the United Nations created a New Global Partnership to lift the 1.2 billion poorest people out of penury in the same time frame. The New Global Partnership or Post-2015 Development Agenda replaces the eight Millennium Development Goals declared in 2000 and calls for a “data revolution” that demands development goals be based on internationally compatible measures.

The contraption, called the Odón Device, works like this: A doctor fits a plastic bag inside a lubricated plastic sleeve and fits it around the baby’s head. The bag is then inflated, allowing it to grip on the baby head, pulling until it’s emerged from the birth canal… The goal of his invention is two-fold: For women in underdeveloped countries who don’t have access to Cesarean sections, the device could help safely bring their babies into the world. It could also supplement forceps and vacuum extractors in cases where newer doctors are untrained to use them. ~ Journalist Elise Solé describing Argentinian car mechanic Jorge Odón’s invention to assist mothers in childbirth, Yahoo!

In the chemical industry hydrogen plays a major role in the production of fertilizers such as ammonia and urea and is used as a desulfurization agent in oil refineries. It is also needed for all syngas routes to e.g. methanol and thus to gasoline. thyssenkrupp has proprietary world-leading technologies in all these fields. Transition to renewable hydrogen Today four percent of the world’s hydrogen consumption already originates from electrolysis plants, mainly chlor-alkali installations. Dramatic changes are expected in the future as the need to avoid carbon dioxide emissions increases. Alongside renewable hydrogen production via water electrolysis, the move towards carbon dioxide as a feedstock will change the way chemicals are produced today. - Established track record for hydrogen - Chemical plant integration experts - Full thyssenkrupp PT product portfolio can be served

Fast Facts & Figures About Social Security, 2003 The Social Security program, from its beginning to the present, has been the subject of serious discussion and sometimes vigorous debate. Today, as we consider the future direction of Social Security, we need to base the discussion on information that is factual, informative, and easy to comprehend. Fast Facts & Figures answers the most frequently asked questions about the programs SSA administers. It highlights basic program data for the Social Security (retirement, survivors, and disability) and Supplemental Security Income programs. Most of the data come from the Annual Statistical Supplement to the Social Security Bulletin, which contains more than 250 detailed tables. The information on the income of the aged is from the data series Income of the Population 55 or Older. The faces that emerge from these facts and figures illustrate the importance of Social Security for our oldest and our youngest citizens. In all, more than 50 million people receive some type of benefit or assistance. Patrice Cole prepared this chartbook. Emil Loomis designed the chartbook and prepared the print version for publication. Celine Houget edited the text and graphics, and Laurie Brown prepared the Web versions.

Still Learning from the Past: Drawing on California’s CLAS Experience to Inform Assessment of the Common Core (2015) As California approaches a new system of academic standards, instruction, and assessment, it enters familiar territory. The use of multiple modes of assessment, tight alignment between assessments and expectations for student learning, and a focus on assessment for formative (as well as summative) purposes—all with an emphasis on students’ understanding and ability to apply their learning—mirror the state’s priorities as it transitioned to the California Learning Assessment System (CLAS) in the early 1990s. This updated version of the 2012 brief, Learning from the Past: Drawing on California’s CLAS Experience to Inform Assessment of the Common Core, examines the CLAS experience to identify lessons for districts as they implement the Common Core today. Through these lessons, districts across the state might build on promising practices from two decades ago while avoiding some of the pitfalls that undermined the CLAS effort. The briefs were an outcome of the California Collaborative meeting, Digging Into the Standards: Assessment and the Common Core.

Uniform Nutrition Criteria The CAI is a living program that is continually being strengthened and improved. With this in mind, Participants developed and adopted one set of uniform nutrition criteria that are consistent, meaningful, and transparent, and will help parents who want to make healthier dietary choices. Participants that advertise to children will now follow one set of uniform nutrition criteria to determine which foods and beverages can be advertised to children under 12. Five key principles governed the development of the new criteria: science-based; appropriate and practical; comprehensive; progressive and transparent. They will provide a road map for Participants to follow as they develop new products and reformulate current products. - Uniform Nutrition Criteria White Paper (PDF) - Uniform Nutrition Criteria Backgrounder (PDF) - Understanding the Uniform Criteria — A Dietitian's Perspective

THE BASICS – FEDERAL LAW In 1965 federal law enabled the federal government to license nursing homes, under two categories; skilled nursing homes and intermediate care facilities that required less medical care and more personal care. In 1980 Congress enacted the Civil Rights of Institutionalized Persons Act which covered any state facility or institution that provides nursing, intermediate or long term care that is residential in nature or which has custody over the residents. Soon after Congress investigated larger issues involving the quality of life and services provided, or the lack thereof, provided in short, intermediate and long term care facilities. Part of that investigation included a request for a comprehensive study on the matter. By 1986 the Institute of Medicine published an exhaustive investigation of nursing homes in the United States. By 1987, Congress enacted the Nursing Home Reform Act. The animating factor of the Act was to insure that all nursing home residents receive care to help them achieve their best level of mental, emotional and physical care. PROTECTIONS IN PLACE

This study puts forward a mechanism for the observed upwelling in the tropical upper troposphere and lower stratosphere. In this hypothesis, the tropical upwelling is driven by momentum transport by Rossby waves that are generated by tropical convection. To test this hypothesis, model runs are conducted using an axisymmetric, global, primitive equation model. In these runs, the effect of Rossby waves is included by driving the model with observed fields of large-scale eddy momentum flux convergence. The resulting overturning circulation includes both meridional flow from the intertropical convergence zone (ITCZ) to the equator and rising motion in the tropical tropopause transition layer (TTL). This circulation therefore helps to explain the transport of moisture from the lower portion of the TTL in the ITCZ to the equatorial cold-point tropopause, where tropopause cirrus layers frequently occur. |Original language||English (US)| |Number of pages||15| |Journal||Journal of the Atmospheric Sciences| |State||Published - Jan 15 2003| All Science Journal Classification (ASJC) codes - Atmospheric Science

Earth’s magnetic field also weakening dramatically. Could even lead to magnetic reversal. Scientists don’t know why. It’s hard to believe that the Mediterranean Sea was once completely dry. Hawaii volcano sending compasses crazy. Could be signaling an upcoming polarity reversal. New NASA video bolsters my contention as to what created the Carolina Bays. “What a Magnetic Reversal Means for Earth ‘ – An interview with Ben Davidson from Suspicious0bservers. “This made me think of your book,” says reader Ronald Baker. “Imagine the reactions that take place during magnetic reversals.” But, but, but, haven’t we been told that hydrocarbons are fossil fuels? That they come from decomposing vegetation and ancient dinosaurs? Used ‘aspirin’ for tooth pain Where else do those “fossil fuel” lakes come from? Also lead to rapid evolution, which I’ve been saying for years.

Trawling this totality for dimensional intrusions, one sometimes comes upon a temporal error instead. Behold an 1894 illustration of the Ice King from the cartoon Adventure Time. Here is a contemporary picture for comparison. Uncanny. Of course, perhaps we don’t need to have this timeline erased. It could be a simple matter of inspiration or an archetypal resonance of the cold, and creepy, father figure. Either way, “Maiden, are you warm?” Original illustration from The Yellow Fairy Book (1894) by Andrew Lang, specifically, “The Story of King Frost,” illustrated by Henry Justice Ford.

People with serious mental illness are increasingly being recognised as being in a high-risk group with respect to premature morbidity and mortality due to cardiovascular disease and diabetes. A proactive approach to assessment and targeted screening of these patients for cardiovascular risk factors should be taken. - People with schizophrenia and other psychotic disorders (serious mental illness) have a very high risk of developing early an untimely cardiovascular disease. - Physical health issues are traditionally neglected in this group of patients. - Use of antipsychotics is usually ‘blamed’ for the increase in cardiovascular disease and diabetes but is unlikely to be the main contributor. - Traditional cardiovascular risk factors, such as diabetes and obesity (due to poor diet and physical inactivity), dyslipidaemia and smoking, need to be addressed proactively and considered early within the management plan. - There are special considerations in the management of people with schizophrenia, such as poor adherence to medications and polypharmacy, which need to be addressed.

Gry Lyngsie, PhD student working at the University of Copenhagen, is busy searching for and testing filter materials that have a high affinity for phosphate, but at the same time have a particle size that does not violate a satisfactory hydraulic conductivity in the filters that should be filled with the filter material. Very few materials have a satisfactory binding at relevant and low phosphate concentrations in drainage water. Some materials even desorb phosphate, and some materials trap phosphate in forms that dissolve during desorption or during shifts in water chemistry, e.g. shift to a lower pH. Future work will focus on Fe and Al oxide based sorbents, including engineered and modified sorbents, as these sorbents show higher phosphate sorption affinity and less desorption than Ca oxide (hydroxide or carbonate) based systems. The figure gives an example of two phosphate sorption isotherms for filter materials, which have the same particle size, but which consist of different sorbents. The Fe-oxide rich sorbent is much more effective than the Ca-rich sorbent.

Adventurer Mark Moffett has found the world’s biggest insect - which is so huge it can eat carrots. The former park ranger discovered the giant weta up a tree and his real life Bugs Bunny has now been declared the largest ever found. He came across the cricket-like creature, which has a wing span of seven inches, after two days of searching on a tiny island. The creepy crawly is only found on Little Barrier Island, in New Zealand. The species was wiped off the mainland by rats accidentally introduced by Europeans.

EQ is a term created by two researchers – Peter Salavoy and John Mayer – and popularized by Dan Goleman in his 1996 book of the same name. Many describe it as the ability to recognize, understand and manage our own emotions and understand and influence the emotions of others. Did you know that emotions can drive our behavior positively and negatively? Learning how to manage those emotions and the impact they have on others is critical to our success. Some believe that our EQ is as important as our IQ. Life is full of situations that require that we manage our emotions. We will be asked to deliver within deadlines that are often stressful. We may be required to deal with challenging relationships in the workplace and personally. Often our jobs require that we deal with setbacks, constant change, lack of resources and failure. How do we handle each situation, and can we learn through the EQ process to deal with them with less stress?

Amazing pictures of wolf moon and lunar eclipse in Suffolk PUBLISHED: 08:59 11 January 2020 | UPDATED: 11:06 11 January 2020 These striking photographs captured by readers show the January full moon – commonly known as the ‘wolf moon’ in all its lunar glory. The first full moon of the year, named after howling wolves, was used to track the changing seasons in ancient times. Last night, it coincided with a penumbral lunar eclipse over Europe, Asia, Australia and Africa. Kevin Jay captured a stunning picture of the wolf moon over Felixstowe Docks. Wayne Burnham captured the phenomenon in Stowmarket. And Caroline Hall managed to snap a picture over Chelmondiston. While it is commonly thought the wolf moon is a Native American name, other sources claim it has Anglo-Saxon origins. In Anglo-Saxon culture, the January full moon was also called the Moon after Yule - the ancient festival celebrating the Winter Solstice around December 22.

According to the 2001 census, there are 12.6 million children under the age of 14 engaged in child labour. This is surely a conservative estimate. The government estimates also do not acknowledge the millions of children working in agriculture. Civil society places the number of child labour at a more realistic 40 million or so. Approximately 70 per cent of children in child labour are in agriculture. Owing to the labour intensive nature of cotton production, the use of child labour in cotton fields, especially for cross-pollination, has increased over the years. Children working in cotton fields are continuously exposed to poisonous pesticides. Apart from the health effects such as headaches, nausea and respiratory ailments borne out by various studies, children working in cotton fields are deprived of schooling. Working long hours in the field means that children cannot attend school regularly or even if they are enrolled, invariably drop out at some point.

“If the provisions of the Constitution be not upheld when they pinch as well as when they comfort, they may as well be abandoned.” — Justice George Sutherland (1862-1942) In his 2008 book “Taking Rights Seriously,” the late professor Ronald Dworkin explored the origins and governmental treatment of human liberty. He argued that Thomas Jefferson — who wrote the Declaration of Independence — and James Madison — the scrivener at the Constitutional Convention and the author of the Bill of Rights — were clear in their articulations that the premise of America at its birth is that our rights are personal and natural because they come from our humanity, not from the government. Dworkin also recognized that government, which is essentially the negation of liberty, is only moral and valid when it enjoys the consent of the governed, respects individual rights as inalienable and interferes with them only after it proves fault to a jury at a fair trial.

Sundials were man's first attempt at marking the passage of hours until the invention of mechanical devices for gauging the passage of time. Water clocks were first used by the ancient Egyptians who could mark the passage of one hour by the time it took for water to flow between different chambers. The invention of mechanical clocks during the Middle Ages allowed for more accurate time-keeping and these clocks were mostly installed in churches. In fact, the oldest mechanical clock still in use was installed in Britain's Salisbury Cathedral in 1386. Ownership of clocks and later watches remained a luxury item well into the 18th century. As time passed, clocks and watches became more affordable to the general population. Today, more people check the time on their smart phones than a watch but the collecting of watches, and clocks remains a "timeless" hobby.

Definition - What does Leaflet mean? In biology, a leaflet is part of a compound leaf. Specifically, a compound leaf is constructed of two or more leaflets, often three or five, although in some plants many more. Clover, black locus, and walnut are all compound leaves comprised of three or more leaflets. Fern is also an example of a compound leaf made of multiple leaflets on a single stalk or leaf. An aspen is an example of a simple leaf that is not comprised of multiple leaflets. MaximumYield explains Leaflet Photosynthesis and transpiration occur exactly the same in compound leaf plants of multiple leaflets and the simple-leafed plants. However, the compound leaf has a slight advantage over the simple leaf because compound leaves often have much longer petioles, which are the green stalk part that connects a leaf to the stem of the plant. Because of this, a plant is better able to direct or place the leaf in direct sunlight. The greater the available surface to collect sunlight, the better able a plant is to gather sunlight and produce energy.

The pickling process is used to remove a thin layer of metal off of the stainless steel part. Acids are commonly used in the metal finishing and metal processing industry in a variety of ways. In order to maintain an acceptable process, the metal concentration must be controlled within a specific rang. The most common method of controlling the metal concentration is decanting or dumping the acid and making up with fresh acid. This results in cost of acid disposal or treatment, cost of replacement acid and product quality or productivity variation. With hundreds of systems installed all over the world, Eco-Tec acid purification units (APU) have evolved to be reliable and maintenance free.

America’s most influential behavioral scientist is B. F. Skinner. His behavioral science discoveries have impacted training and applications for many areas including: animal training, working with students and those with autism, occupational behavior management, and education. He published 180 articles and 21 books. He also wrote over 3500 unpublished notes. The Hutchings Museum in Lehi, Utah houses natural and cultural artifacts from across the globe. These collections have enabled the museum to focus very intently on many important programs such as conservation, history, paleontology, archaeology, technology, education, and various hands-on projects to inspire curiosity in adults and children alike. The primary focus of the museum is to provide opportunities for education, exploration, and community impact.

Dairy Education and Promotion covers a broad spectrum, ranging from nutrition for good health, safety in production and processing, as well as the conservation and preservation of our environment. The Southwest Dairy Museum and Southwest Dairy Farmers recognize the need to address these issues in depth and that education promotes informed choices. The tools of our trade are information and demonstration, laced generously with adaptability and good humor. Our “classroom” may be our Center in Sulphur Springs, a parking lot, a playground, a fair ground, a gymnasium, a zoo, or an open field. We work in cities, suburbs, or rural areas; anywhere, in fact, that crowds gather with a desire to know and a willingness to learn. Those crowds allow us to share our story effectively with large numbers of people at one time. Utilizing these tools, we communicate a strong, positive image of the dairy industry from cow to consumer.

Education and Social Change : Connecting Local and Global Perspectives Hardback Edited by Chahid Fourali, Sally Issler, Geoffrey Elliott Education policy and practice has historically been developed within thenational/regional context. However, globalization has prompted educationalists to review their practice in the light of international influences. World issues such as global warming, conflict and the depletion of earth resources have also contributed to an increased awareness of the rolethat education can play in resolving these problems. The contributors focus on how education can bring about social change whileconnecting with theory at the level of cultural impact and policy implications. Theyinvestigate the potential for creating a transnational value system in education, focusing on some key human rights issues both at home and overseas. Truly international in scope, this text lays the groundwork for future research by exposing the commonalities and differences in approaches to knowledge production and its dissemination, drawing together contributions from a variety of cross cultural contexts. - Format: Hardback - Pages: 334 pages, 1, black & white illustrations - Publisher: Continuum Publishing Corporation - Publication Date: 14/10/2010 - Category: Educational strategies & policy - ISBN: 9780826444097

Have some static-y fun using just a balloon and some paper scraps with this quick and classic science experiment. Using static electricity produced by rubbing a balloon over fabric, make paper scraps jump and cling to the balloon. Kids love watching this! Wool or fleece material (any fabric could work) Tiny paper shreds or table sugar Drop paper shreds or a spoonful of table sugar onto a table top. Vigorously rub the balloon over your fabric to generate static electricity. You’ll see the results when you hold it over the paper… the same effect you see if you hold it over someone’s hair… the static pulls the paper up and makes it jump onto the balloon. Fun to watch! The effect doesn’t last too long, but you can re-electrify your balloon and try again. Fun, quick, silly. Like this? Please consider sharing it with others!

- What is Adjustment Disorder? An adjustment disorder occurs when an individual is unable to adjust to or cope with a particular outside stressor, like a major life event or transition. There are different types of adjustment disorders which are characterized by the following predominant symptoms: depressed mood; anxiety; mixed anxiety and depressed mood; disturbance of conduct; mixed disturbance of emotions and conduct; and unspecified. To qualify for a diagnosis, symptoms must occur within 3 months of the onset of the stressor, must cause significant distress or impairment in important areas of functioning, and must not persist more than an additional 6 months from when the stressor’s consequences have ended. - How can Adjustment Disorder be treated? The recommended treatment for an adjustment disorder is psychotherapy. Therapy should focus on helping the individual express his/her thoughts/feelings about the newfound stressor, normalizing the individual’s thoughts/feelings, examining what the individual is currently doing to cope with the situation, and helping the individual learn more adaptive ways of coping with the situation. Adjustment Disorders typically resolve once the individual learns how to adapt to the new situation.

How Fringe Groups Operate American politics have become increasingly polarized over the past several decades. As the two primary parties have moved further apart, so have those whose beliefs fall on the extremes of the political spectrum. This book features articles that examine the ideas and actions of political extremists from across the spectrum, ranging from single-issue groups like Second Amendment and anti-abortion radicals, to larger movements such as anti-government activists and the growing presence of white nationalists. With the reporting, photography, and media literacy questions and terms collected here, readers will discover that while these groups may operate on the fringes of American politics, the echoes of their positions resonate into the mainstream.

You hear a lot about watersheds. They are defined as an area of land where all the surface water drains into the same place, whether it’s a creek, a stream, a river or an ocean. Therefore, all precipitation, such as rain or snow, that falls on a watershed ends up flowing to the same place. Even though Dunany is defined by its watershed, we never had a real map. Until now. The MRC of Argenteuil has just produced one. The following image is a cut out from that map. You will notice that lake McNignt is cut out from iour watershed. That is because it is not part of it even if it sits at the same altitude as Black (265.9 metres). Since a ridge separates them, they do not connect. Also, our four lakes – Curran, Black, Boyd and Clear – drain on a North-South axis as McNight drains eastward. They both end up in the East river at different junctions and, later, in the North River. This is the full map, as produced by the MRC.

Designed by a Washington, D.C., architect, this modern skyscraper is a monument to Mies van der Rohe's axiom, “Less is more.” Mies's Seagram Building in New York (1956) provided the basic motif for the base and curtain wall. Remarkably, the Ross Building has escaped exterior alterations and is as fresh today as the day it was built. Its glass curtain wall provides a refreshing contrast to many of the bombastic or clumsily detailed office buildings later built in Richmond.

HEAP tables also known as Memory tables are tables taht present in the memory. When creating a HEAP table in MySql, we needs to specify the TYPE of table as HEAP. These memory tables have values without data type like “BLOB” or “TEXT”. These table use hash indexes which make them relatively faster than MyISAM. The temporary tables are used to store temporary data and they will be dropped when the current user’s session terminates. Where as HEAP table can exist for a long time if you do not restart your Database. Temporary tables are specific to the user and not shared among other users, heap tables are shared. So to each database connection the temporary table is unique, for other connection the temporary tables of another connection are not existant.

Exercise is known to increase neurotrophic factors such as vascular endothelial factor, brain-derived neurotrophic factors (which increase the growth of new neurons, synapses, and blood vessels) and decrease overall inflammation (which increases brain aging). This study (on 150 twin pairs) showed that the link between leg power and brain aging were not explained by genetics or shared environment. Additionally, other developmental, lifestyle and health measures indicated that reverse causation is not likely, and the effect is not likely to be mediated through frailty (as measured by telomere length), or disease. Finally, other fitness measures, such as forced expiratory volume or grip strength, were not associated with brain aging when leg power was excluded.

Mitogen-activated protein kinase 8 (MAPK8), also known as JNK1, is a member of the MAP kinase family. MAP kinases act as an integration point for multiple biochemical signals, and are involved in a wide variety of cellular processes such as proliferation, differentiation, transcription regulation and development. The protein kinases JNK1 has been found to serve as critical molecular links between obesity, metabolic inflammation, and disorders of glucose homeostasis. It is critically involved in the promotion of diet-induced obesity, metabolic inflammation and beta-cell dysfunction. The selective deficiency of JNK1 in the murine nervous system is sufficient to suppress diet-induced obesity. Genetic analysis indicates that the effects of JNK1 can be separated from effects of JNK1 on obesity. JNK1 is a potential pharmacological target for the development of drugs that might be useful for the treatment of metabolic syndrome, and type 2 diabetes. Furthermore, JNK1 plays a major role in the hypoxic cellular damage. JNK1 protein might be an attractive target for antihypoxic therapy in increasing resistance to many pathological conditions and diseases, leading to the oxygen deficit.

Hello Year 6, I hope that you had a good weekend. I hope that you are also enjoying reading or listening to Kensuke's Kingdom. Today in maths you are going to recap how to use operations in the correct order. I have recorded a Loom video going though a PowerPoint on ordering operations. You can also have a look at the BBC website and then I have written a reminder sheet which explains the order in which you complete operations. Have a look at this too. Work though the Target Your Maths questions, then if you would like to do bit more to make sure you are completely confident, have a go at the questions on the PDF. For literacy, listen to the Loom recording of me reading Chapter 4 Gibbons and Ghosts. Think about how frightening it must have been for Michael when he fell over board and when he woke up on the island. Afterwards, I want you to write about a time in your life when you have been really frightened. See planning sheet for all the details. Practise this week's spellings to be tested on Friday. Have a good day!
