The Municipal Chief Executive for Jomoro Municipal Assembly, Hon. Louisa Iris Arde on 11th May, 2023 led officials of the National Youth Authority (NYA) headed by the Western Regional Director, Mr. Edwin Amponsah to inspect a site earmarked for the construction of a Youth Resource Centre at Elubo.
According to a research conducted by the National Youth Authority, it has been identified that there are a lot of crime related activities in Elubo including drug trafficking and illegal mining. Recently, there have been cases of human trafficking where Ghanaians and other foreign nationals were arrested for attempting to traffic young girls to Cote D’Ivoire for prostitution. Ghana has been losing thousands if not millions of cedis to smugglers who are mostly unemployed youth at various unapproved routes at Elubo.
The causal factors include:
lack of access to youth resource centres
Lack of support systems and business opportunities
Inadequate psycho-social counsellors.
Inadequate knowledge of SRH issues
weak institutional linkages
Per the research, it is evident that there is the need for the establishment of a youth resource centre in Elubo to address these challenges. Taking cognisance of the vital ingredients that go into the establishment of such centres, strategic partnerships should be built to ensure their functionality.
The project goal is to provide youth friendly services and economic empowerment opportunities to the border communities of both countries.
The project aims to construct a well-equipped youth resource center where young people can have access to ASRH information, psycho-social counselling, job opportunities and business support services. Volunteers will be recruited through NYA’s National Youth Volunteer Program to execute this project. The multi-purpose center will have the following facilities: General office, Counselling center, Language center, Commerce and trade center (AfCFTA office), Migration secretariat, Health/Screening center, Conference room and 2 dormitories.
PROVISION OF YOUTH-FRIENDLY SERVICES
The Youth Resource Centre will be run by resource persons and professional volunteers that will provide services like Sexual and Reproductive Health care for young people, psychosocial counselling for drug addicts and at-risk youth.
Also an AfCFTA Secretariat at the center will provide business support services and opportunities to young traders and entrepreneurs. To tackle the issue of language barrier, a center will be established for the youth to access the services of interpreters.
Per the psychology of the youth, the centre will be youth-friendly and beneficiaries will be accorded the necessary privacy and confidentiality as well as ample attention.
NYA will directly implement the project with the support of Government Ministries, Departments and Agencies (MDAs) such as the Ghana Immigration Service, AfCFTA Secretariat, Ghana Enterprise Agency, NCCE, Ghana Police Service, Ministry of Health, Ghana Health Service, the Food and Drugs Authority, Mental Health Authority, the National Drugs Authority (NDA), NACOB, the Department of Social Development, Metropolitan, Municipal and District Assemblies, Religious bodies and Traditional Authorities.
The project is anticipated to commence after assessment of the site and approval by Chief Executive Officer of the National Youth Authority, Hon. Pious Enam Hadzide and will be completed and inaugurated in September 2023.

Masked, Hiding Behind Plain Sight, an exhibit of artwork by Judy Blahut, will be on view at Art League Gallery November 3-28. Blahut’s work, reminiscent of kaleidoscopic images, is largely abstract and inspired by nature. This collection of acrylic paintings, charcoal drawings and sculptures aims to explore the space between the observable and the hidden in the form of an object. Blahut deconstructs natural objects such as plants and shells and reassembles them in a new way, thereby creating a new relationship between the object and the viewer. “It’s an exploration of life interrupted yet forever connected,” she says.
Blahut’s background is in education, yet painting has always been her passion. “My paintings are an extension of my emotional and physical life. They are the most authentic part of me…They are the expression of the inner emotional places that I pass through daily. The painting’s method is interrupted and fractured in order to illustrate the fragility of what we experience and hold as our truth, masked or obvious.”
An opening reception will be held Wednesday, November 4, 5-7pm. Blahut will lead a gallery walk on Wednesday, November 11 at 11am, and hold a demo of her work on Wednesday, November 25 at 11am. Please RSVP to email@example.com in order to attend any of these events as spots are limited to facilitate social distancing.
Art League Gallery is dedicated to providing as safe an environment as possible. To that end, Art League is following all CDC and Town of Hilton Head guidelines, including mandatory masks for patrons and all employees, contactless and cashless service, frequent sanitization of the gallery, and a limit of 10 visitors in the gallery at any one time except during special events.
Art League Gallery is located mid-island inside Arts Center of Coastal Carolina, 14 Shelter Cove Lane, Hilton Head Island, 843-681-5060.


WE WORKED CLOSELY WITH SHAAKE TO CUSTOM DESIGN THEIR ENTIRE SIGNAGE LAYOUT
FULL BESPOKE SHOP DESIGN & FIT
Shaake came to us about a new exciting revamp they were looking to carry out in both their shops, located in Castle Quarter and Chantry Place, Norwich.
Following on-site meetings, we discussed the various options which we provide and how the client can utilise space within the shop.
The client provided a brand guidelines package which we adjusted and amended to create an eye-catching visual for the customer to understand how the shop will appear once complete, preventing any surprises when we carry out the install.
The signage package included the following:
- Illuminated shop sign, consisting of aluminium built-ups with an opal face to allow internal LEDS to bring the sign to life!
- Internally we created a menu board which was constructed from aluminium, powder-coated white and illuminates again via internal LEDS.
- Utilising space inside we printed and installed a custom wall wrap, using a high adhesive vinyl ensuring longevity.
- Various types of point-of-sale signage which can host A/4 or A5 posters to help promote offers etc.


Prostate cancer is a type of cancer that develops in the prostate gland, which is a small walnut-shaped gland located below the bladder in men. The prostate gland produces seminal fluid that nourishes and transports sperm. Prostate cancer is one of the most common cancers in men, but with early detection and appropriate treatment, many cases can be effectively managed.
Causes and Risk Factors
The exact cause of prostate cancer is not fully understood, but certain risk factors can increase the likelihood of its development:
- Age: Prostate cancer is more common in older men, with the risk increasing significantly after the age of 50.
- Family History: Having a family history of prostate cancer, especially in a first-degree relative, can increase the risk.
- Race/Ethnicity: African American men have a higher risk of developing prostate cancer, and it often tends to be more aggressive in this population.
- Obesity: Being overweight or obese may increase the risk of developing aggressive forms of prostate cancer.
In the early stages, prostate cancer may not cause noticeable symptoms. As the cancer progresses, symptoms might include:
- Frequent urination, especially at night.
- Difficulty starting or stopping urination.
- Weak or interrupted urine flow.
- Blood in the urine or semen.
- Erectile dysfunction.
- Discomfort or pain in the pelvic area.
- Prostate cancer is often detected through routine screenings, primarily the prostate-specific antigen (PSA) blood test and digital rectal examination (DRE).
- If the PSA level is elevated or if an abnormality is felt during the DRE, further tests, such as a prostate biopsy, may be recommended.
Staging and Grading
- Staging determines the extent and spread of the cancer within the prostate and nearby tissues. The TNM system (Tumor, Node, Metastasis) is commonly used for staging.
- Grading is done using the Gleason score, which assesses the appearance of cancer cells under a microscope. The score helps predict how aggressive the cancer is.
- Treatment options for prostate cancer depend on factors such as the stage of the cancer, the patient’s overall health, and individual preferences.
- Active Surveillance: For low-risk cases, especially in older men, active surveillance involves closely monitoring the cancer without immediate treatment.
- Surgery: Surgical removal of the prostate (prostatectomy) is a common treatment option, which can be done through open surgery or minimally invasive techniques like robotic-assisted surgery.
- Radiation Therapy: High-energy radiation is used to target and kill cancer cells.
- Hormone Therapy: Reducing levels of male hormones (androgens) can slow the growth of prostate cancer cells.
- Chemotherapy: Medications are used to kill cancer cells or slow their growth.
- Immunotherapy and Targeted Therapy: These newer approaches harness the immune system or target specific molecules involved in cancer growth.
The prognosis for prostate cancer varies widely based on factors like the stage at diagnosis, the aggressiveness of the cancer, and the effectiveness of treatment. Many cases of prostate cancer are slow-growing and may not require immediate aggressive treatment.
Screening, early detection, and open communication with healthcare providers are key factors in managing prostate cancer effectively. Regular check-ups and discussions with a healthcare provider can help determine the best course of action based on individual circumstances and preferences.

Zodiacal Sign of VIRGO
|इस के लेख़क हैं सम्पादक
VIRGO 23rd of August – 22nd of September
The natives of Virgo suffer great amorous deceptions.
"Zodiacal Course" – Samael Aun Weor
The natives of Virgo suffer in love and undergo great deceptions, due to the fact that Venus, the star of love, in Virgo, is in exile.
Virgo is the zodiacal sign of the Virgin Mother of the World; it is the house of Mercury, its minerals are the jasper and the emerald.
In practice we have been able to verify that Virgo natives are unfortunately quite excessively reasoning, beyond the normal, and skeptical by nature.
Reason, the intellect are very necessary, but when they come out of their orbit, they are then very harmful.
The natives of Virgo are good in science, psychiatry, medicine, naturism, the laboratory, pedagogy, etc., etc., etc.
The natives of Virgo cannot get along with Pisces people and that is why we advise them to avoid marriages with Piscine people.
The most lamentable thing of Virgo people is the inertia and skepticism which characterizes them. However, it is interesting to know that that tense inertia tends to go from the material to the spiritual, up to where it is accessible through experience.
The critical-analytical talent of Virgo is formidable and among the great geniuses of this sign is Goethe who succeeded in transcending the material, inertia, and entered high scientific spirituality.
Nonetheless, all Virgo natives are not Goethe. Ordinarily, the materialists, atheists and enemies of everything that smells of spirituality abound among the mediocre of this sign.
The egotism of the mediocre people of Virgo is something too grotesque and repugnant, but the Goethe of Virgo are genial and highly altruistic and profoundly disinterested.

The Incredible Light Beings of the Cosmos – Antonia Scott-Clark
Antonia Scott-Clark has been researching the modern “light orb” phenomena for the past several years and has come to some astonishing conclusions. She has been photographing orbs for many years but started photographing them in earnest from the year 2000 onwards. She describes herself as always having been an incurable roving paranormal butterfly flitting from mystical flower to mystical flower without settling for long on any one bloom until orbs, which she prefers to call Light Beings, entered her life. She took these very seriously and has conducted a private research into the phenomenon. The results of her findings are described in this book and also included are many of her spectacular photographs. With her friend, GoGos lead singer Belinda Carlisle, Antonia tells of her many adventures with orbs and answers such questions as: Can you see orbs with the naked eye?; Are orbs intelligent?; What are the Black Villages?; What is the connection between orbs and crop circles? And tons more. Antonia gives instruction on how to photograph orbs, and how to communicate with these Light Beings of the Cosmos.


In 1991, when Details of Classic Boat Construction first appeared (published by W.W. Norton), I rushed to get a copy. I wasn’t disappointed. Larry Pardey and his wife, Lin, built their cutter, Seraffyn, themselves, the old fashioned way – plank on frame. And what a beautiful job they did on her. What’s more, they’ve lived aboard and cruised extensively for many hard ocean miles. This combination of practical boatbuilding combined with practical voyaging gives Larry a unique and valuable perspective.
The current, slightly revised, edition is very similar to the first edition of the book. It provides one of very finest step-by-step explanations of the hows and the whys of traditional carvel boatbuilding ever published. Extraordinarily clear process photos and line drawings make things plainer still.
I did have reservations about a couple of items. Larry includes lists of the pros and cons of various construction methods and options. I found these lists to be weighted toward traditional techniques. Such traditional techniques are excellent, but I could redo many of the pro-and-con lists quite differently, reaching substantially different conclusions.
The other reservation is that Larry comes out full-bore and guns blazing against the use of modern marine epoxy for virtually any boatbuilding application. Indeed, this — he stated — was one of the reasons he revised and reissued Details of Classic Boat Construction. He provides examples of epoxy failures and lists many epoxy shortcomings. As with his comparative lists, however – strong as his condemnation of epoxy is – I, and the boatbuilders I work with, can’t agree. I have designed several entirely wood-epoxy craft, now many years old. One 42-footer, for instance, has over 10,000 miles on her, 70 percent of them in southern waters, and she’s good as new. Yards like Rybovitch Spencer, Covey Island Boatworks, Van Dam Marine, and many others have built literally hundreds of wood-epoxy vessels, which have proven incredibly tough, long-lived, and maintenance-free.
So, do these two reservations detract seriously from the book as a whole? Not at all. The explanations of plank-on-frame construction are so clear and comprehensive that everyone who owns a traditional wooden boat, is repairing one, or is building one really should have a copy of this book for reference. Even builders of modern wood-epoxy boats will benefit from the superb construction information in Details of Classic Boat Construction – The Hull. I consider it a must-read and hope Larry will go on and write future volumes on the cabin and fitting out.


- Gradient Descent Finds Global Minima for Generalizable Deep Neural Networks of Practical Sizes(arXiv)
Abstract : In this paper, we theoretically prove that gradient descent can find a global minimum of non-convex optimization of all layers for nonlinear deep neural networks of sizes commonly encountered in practice. The theory developed in this paper only requires the practical degrees of over-parameterization unlike previous theories. Our theory only requires the number of trainable parameters to increase linearly as the number of training samples increases. This allows the size of the deep neural networks to be consistent with practice and to be several orders of magnitude smaller than that required by the previous theories. Moreover, we prove that the linear increase of the size of the network is the optimal rate and that it cannot be improved, except by a logarithmic factor. Furthermore, deep neural networks with the trainability guarantee are shown to generalize well to unseen test samples with a natural dataset but not a random dataset.
2. Gradient Descent Finds Global Minima of Deep Neural Networks (arXiv)
Abstract : Gradient descent finds a global minimum in training deep neural networks despite the objective function being non-convex. The current paper proves gradient descent achieves zero training loss in polynomial time for a deep over-parameterized neural network with residual connections (ResNet). Our analysis relies on the particular structure of the Gram matrix induced by the neural network architecture. This structure allows us to show the Gram matrix is stable throughout the training process and this stability implies the global optimality of the gradient descent algorithm. We further extend our analysis to deep residual convolutional neural networks and obtain a similar convergence resul

Welcome to Madressa-E-Anjumane-Islam Trust
M.A.I. came into existence as a result sincere endeavors of visionaries and devoted people of kathor and its founders of kathor and South Africa.
In the beginning they made arrangement for income so that M.A.I. could stand on its own foot. They constructed the house for M.A.I. Trust and then the boarding.
The name of M.A.I. was well known not only in Gujarat but throughout the country. In those days the fragrance of Deeni education had spread far and wide.
This fame was a matter of great pride for the institution. Due to the need of circumstances the institutions started talking interest in imparting worldly education.
For this purpose we got a house in Kathradawadi in 1981 and foundation of the first school was laid by Marhoom Dr. A.M. Moolla Saheb.
Thus, a beginning in imparting worldly education was made gradually the institution started making progress.
The undaunted efforts of our enthusiastic founder trustees and whole heated support and co-operation of our generous donors and well wishers we have today before us
this gigantic M.A.I. Educational Campus which is a great pride for Kathor village.


The world itself is quite small, more like a moon than a planet. It’s quite low gravity, only around seven units, and very cold.
The world orbits a dwarf star in the thin band of warmth sufficient for the surface of the planet to support oxygen, water, and other things to keep the planet’s Human populace alive. Humanity, however, has to cling to the equatorial (approximately) one-third of the surface as the more polar regions can reach incredibly low temperatures – during some years, low enough to precipitate some of the vital gasses out of the atmosphere at the poles themselves.
Despite this, the planet has a remarkably robust biosphere, even more amazingly it possesses such a biosphere from pole to pole.
Near the equator the biology of the world is largely a mix of tundras, cold-swamps, and ice-jungle, with typical temperate zones hugging the few degrees above and below the actual equator. Approaching the poles you find a shift toward silicate life, and other ice-world biologies as well as unusual forms extremophilic carbon/water life. Plants on Norĵek are more closely related to ferns, and some do not metabolise carbon dioxide, but various ammonia-based gases instead. Most life on the planet is found under its considerable ocean, which is exceedingly deep for a world so small and filled with geothermal vents than keep the lower reaches liquid. Underwater all forms of life from bacteria to fungus to reptiles to mammals can be found. On the surface it is primarily insects, saurians, and a few mammals as well as the fern-like planets.
Geologically there are two major continents and one minor one which have only separated from a single continent in the last 500,000 standard years so are fairly close together. There are also numerous archipelagos of volcanic islands scattered around the ocean. Geysers abound on the landmasses, and the hot springs tend to be the population centres for the Norĵeké whether you mean Human or animal.
Economically the world is part of the Galfarran Union and while on the poorer end of the spectrum is still considered “average wealth” by the Galfarran Trade Council. Their major exports are in a few exotic alloys that are produced in the planet’s mantle and collected at lava flows (for example, Norĵek is the best source for blethĵŝ); their woodcrafts have long been a powerful artisan market as the profoundly long and isolating winters leave plenty of time to perfect handcrafts which couples well with the extreme beauty of the wood of Norĵek’s few species of tree; they also produce many raw goods needed by various cosmetics industries in the form of oils, volcanic rocks, etc.
No worlds in the Norĵek system have moons, but the first four planets, Norĵek being the third, are all so close to each other and their star that they can be seen quite clearly in one another’s skies.
Norĵek’s orbit, being so small, does give it a very short year, being only slightly longer than a standard korva, and it has a rotation of approximately 29 nulaire 7⅔ saenead.


In Advanced LIGO, detection and astrophysical source parameter estimation of the binary black hole merger GW150914 requires a calibrated estimate of the gravitational-wave strain sensed by the detectors. Producing an estimate from each detector's differential arm length control loop readout signals requires applying time domain filters, which are designed from a frequency domain model of the detector's gravitational-wave response. The gravitational-wave response model is determined by the detector's opto-mechanical response and the properties of its feedback control system. The measurements used to validate the model and characterize its uncertainty are derived primarily from a dedicated photon radiation pressure actuator, with cross-checks provided by optical and radio frequency references. We describe how the gravitational-wave readout signal is calibrated into equivalent gravitational-wave-induced strain and how the statistical uncertainties and systematic errors are assessed. Detector data collected over 38 calendar days, from September 12 to October 20, 2015, contain the event GW150914 and approximately 16 days of coincident data used to estimate the event false alarm probability. The calibration uncertainty is less than 10% in magnitude and 10° in phase across the relevant frequency band, 20 Hz to 1 kHz.

The method looks to vastly improve on current conventional methods of drug delivery such as tablets or injections. Whilst convenient and relatively cheap to manufacture, this method of drug delivery suffers from an initial spike of therapeutic agent followed by a period of decay.
Dosage is also frequently limited by adverse side effects caused by the sudden elevation of drug suddenly introduced to the body.
The patent details an alternative that uses a polymer made from microspheres/nanospheres. Following administration via ingestion or injection, the polymer is slowly eroded by body fluids to yield biocompatible the therapeutic product. The drug is then released from a polymeric particle by diffusion through the polymer matrix as well as by surface erosion.
In producing the polymer, Aphios uses supercritical fluids - a material which can be either liquid or gas that exhibit unique properties under certain conditions. It is used in a state above the critical temperature and critical pressure where gases and liquids can coexist.
By dissolving a biodegradable polymer such as PLGA in the fluid and mixing it with the therapeutic, polymer nanospheres are formed after undergoing a number of processes. These polymer nanospheres encapsulate the protein therapeutics.
“In addition to reduction or elimination of organic solvent usage, use of SuperFluids for making nanospheres imparts advantages of no residual toxic organic solvent and pathogen safety,” Aphios claimed.
“The SuperFluids polymer nanospheres (PNS) process can be utilised for improving the oral bioavailability of peptides and proteins, depot delivery of peptides and proteins for sustained, controlled release and the subcutaneous and/or oral delivery of sensitive vaccine antigens,” they added.
The use of degradable polymers as a method for controlled release of therapeutic agents is an area of great importance to the pharmaceutical industry, and the patients that depend on the medication.
These polymers that use supercritical fluids in their production are currently being applied in numerous ways, such as increasing bioavailability of poorly soluble molecules, to designing formulations for sustained release.
The most difficult challenges relate to therapeutic proteins, which are complex to deliver due to their instability and very short half-life when introduced to the human body.
Industrial-wise, current conventional large-scale production of polymeric microspheres that utilise numerous processing steps and large quantities of organic solvents is very time consuming, costly and inefficient.
In addition, the exposure of therapeutic agents to organic solvent adversely effects protein integrity and bioactivity.
The patent: “Polymer Microspheres/Nanospheres and Encapsulating Therapeutic Proteins Therein,” can be viewed here.

Ferro Corp.’s Organic Specialties Group has expanded its product line of high-performance solvents to include cyclic and linear carbonates. These carbonates are high-purity, cost-effective alternatives to halogenated solvents and N-Methyl-2-pyrrolidinone (NMP) with excellent toxicity properties. Ferro has increased production capacity to offer high-purity carbonates to the broader market, in addition to its internal use for Purolyte®electrolytes for lithium and lithium ion batteries. The company launched the carbonate solvents at InformexUSA 2008, held in New Orleans, LA, Jan. 29–Feb. 1.
In addition to electrolytes applications, the solvents’ high purity makes them ideal for dissolving photoresists in electronics manufacturing and for cleaning surfaces of silicon wafers in semiconductor fabrication. The carbonates’ toxicity properties reduce exposure risks in manufacturing environments and make them suitable for low-odor consumer products, such as water-based adhesives and inks. Their high polarity improves suspension of pigments in inks, enabling cartridges that spray evenly without clogging, and inks that penetrate paper without diffusing or smearing. The carbonates also offer advantages as reaction solvents in fine chemicals manufacturing, particularly in methylation reactions and low-water applications, and they can be used in environmentally friendly cleaning solutions.
Ferro’s new offering includes propylene and ethylene cyclic carbonates and diethyl and dimethyl linear carbonates. Purities range from 99.0% to 99.98%. All are strongly polar and aprotic, with boiling points ranging from 90


Even in our globalized world the notion of national economies remain incredibly strong, just as a considerable part of the literature on transnational governance and globalization continue to rely on a zero-sum perspective concerning the relationship between the national and the transnational. Developing a Hegelian inspired historical-sociological approach this paper however argues that national and transnational societies emerged simultaneously and in a co-evolutionary and mutually supportive fashion. In most European settings national societies did not become the central horizon of individuals before in the 20th century and when they did these societies to a high extent were constituted through transnational processes. That is also the case for the regulatory frameworks constituting national political economies. This will be illustrated on the basis of a case study in relation to the evolution of the European steel industry.

The National Human Rights Commission has flagged off the 2022 Correctional Centre Audit exercise to accertain compliance with international best practices.
The Chairperson of the Commission, Dr. Salamatu Suleiman led the Commission’s delegation to the Headquarters of the Nigerian Correctional Service (NCS) Abuja where the event took place.
High point of the event was the donations of 1000 reading glasses and 500 prenatal drugs by the Commission in collaboration with Gift Health Plus (a United States based NGO) to the Correctional Service for onward distribution to inmates across the nation.
According to the Chairperson, “it is worthy of note that inmates in Custodial Facilities are entitled to enjoy general human rights including the right to good health pursuant to international human rights standards or best practices”.
She therefore restated that welfare and access to medical care for all inmates cannot be over emphasized given the importance of healthcare to citizens, particularly the vulnerable inmates.
She used the opportunity to call on the NCS to give NHRC Officials and the Medical Team of Gift Health Plus, the maximum cooperation that is needed to make sure that the medical outreach during the 2022 Audit of Correctional Centres across the Country is a successful one.
In her remarks, the Controller General of NCS, Haliru Nababa commended the NHRC and Gift Health Plus for donating the medical items to the Service, saying that comprehensive and efficient health care is essential to every citizen, especially those in detention.
The Controller General, who was represented at the occasion by the Deputy Controller General of Corrections (Covering Duties) Health and Welfare, Marylaurine Melchizedek recalled that relevant Section of the Nigerian Constitution and the UN Sustainable Development Goal (SDG), particularly in goal 3 stressed the welfare and security of citizens as the primary purpose of goverment, saying that good health is central in the said provisions above.
He added that the NCS has lived up to its mandate to provide safe and legal custody to inmates so as to ensure their physical and mental well-being, despite our the lean resources and excruciating circumstances.
Thereafter, the Executive Director Gift Health Plus Inc, Chamberlain Nwanne said that his organisation would continue to work together with the NHRC and NCS to impact positivelu on the rights of inmates across Nigeria.
He declared that his organisation has found dependable partners in the NHRC and the NCS, saying that the 1000 eyeglasses and 500 prenatal drugs are targeted at meeting some of the health needs of those in detention facilities, as a measure to further protect their right to health.
At the end of the ceremony, the the NCS presented a plaque to the NHRC Chairperson in recognition of her excellent performance at the NHRC.


To better serve the people of Lebanon, the region, and the Global South, the American University of Beirut (AUB) is becoming a more global, diverse, and inclusive university.

We will be offering additional academic programs in future years.


From classical antiquity, through early fables such as Johannes Kepler’s Somnium (1634) or Francis Godwin’s The Man in the Moone (1638), to Martian invasions like the one described by H. G. Wells, for most of our history we have taken for granted that the worlds closest to Earth must be inhabited. There was no reason to think otherwise—that is, until science actually began finding them. For a planet to be habitable, several circumstances that are not particularly abundant have to come together. Today we know that there is no intelligent life on the Moon, Venus and Mars, but we also know that in our galaxy alone there are possibly billions of planets. With today’s science, how many of them might resemble our own world and even harbour beings with whom we could communicate?
In 1995, astronomers Michel Mayor and Didier Queloz detected the first exoplanet in a Sun-like star, 51 Pegasi b (today called Dimidium). Three years earlier, Aleksander Wolszczan and Dale Frail had discovered the first confirmed extrasolar planets, but these orbited around a pulsar, so they were not suitable for life. And although with an estimated surface temperature of nearly 1,000°C the planet discovered by Mayor and Queloz is also an uninhabitable hell, their discovery launched the hunt for possible terrestrial twins.
As of this writing in October 2021, 4,852 exoplanets have been confirmed in 3,586 star systems, 800 of which have more than one planet, but these numbers are growing steadily. The vast majority have been detected by the transit method—when a planet crosses in front of its star from our point of view, the star’s light dims slightly. This method therefore finds gas giant planets more easily and is limited to those whose transit is visible from Earth. With the data obtained, astronomers can estimate certain characteristics, such as mass, size, possible composition, proximity to the star and temperature. In this way astronomers can ascertain whether a planet is a candidate to harbour life as we know it.
Among the telescopes that have been used to detect exoplanets, the biggest hunter of other worlds has been NASA’s Kepler space telescope. Launched in 2009, its mission was planned for three and a half years, during which it would survey some 150,000 stars in a region of the sky near the constellation Cygnus (the swan). Despite certain mechanical problems that limited its functionality, the mission was able to be extended until October 2018, when the telescope finally exhausted its fuel. During its more than nine years of life, Kepler observed 530,506 stars and discovered 2,662 new worlds. In 2018, NASA’s TESS (Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite) took over from Kepler, and in 2019 the European Space Agency (ESA) launched CHEOPS (CHaracterising ExOPlanets Satellite) to characterise already known exoplanets.
Of all the confirmed exoplanets, only a small minority are terrestrial (rocky). Although we can never know the total number of these planets in the whole universe, let alone whether there is life on them, advances in science allow us to narrow down the estimates. One 2020 study that analysed Kepler data calculated that the Milky Way could harbour as many as six billion Earth-like planets, while another estimated the number of potentially habitable planets in our galaxy at about 300 million. But we are only just beginning to scratch the surface of the universe.


It’s all made up…
By Angie Cowen | Thoughts | Posted at 5:42 pm - July 1, 2018
I need to be honest with you, since having my beautiful bubba, I lost my confidence for a while when it came to my professional life. Anyone relate to this?
Life became so full of sleeping schedules (sorry, what schedules?!), nappies, cute smiles then laughter (oh my goodness – when Noa first started laughing!), shower time, bath time and finding my feet as a mum.
For someone who prior to having a baby spent pretty much ALL her time catering retreats, driving to new locations, creating events, and thinking about sharing her love of food with the world, it was quite a shocking change (I think it’s a shock for most mammas to be fair, I mean we USED to sleep through the night!).
At first there was a stunning feeling of euphoria, having this deliciously tiny being to look after. It was something I’d dreamt of for a very long time and it was entirely blissful. But after a few months I noticed that I felt out of practice professionally and fear began to creep in that my days of running my beautiful business were numbered. Really. Thoughts like ‘my ship has sailed’ moved through my mind and I wholeheartedly believed them for a while.
Sitting back in my fear with a small baby to care for was hard, and sitting there watching all my amazing friends and colleagues kicking professional goals (while over the moon for them), just played into these insecurities even more.
Fear drove my mind space for a while, until I remembered something…
It’s all made up!
Yup, it’s all made up. Meaning, if I say my ship has sailed, then so be it; but if I say the best is yet to come, then so be that. And I say, the BEST is yet to come!
I laughed so hard on remembering that. Even with the hundreds of hours of personal development training I’ve done over the last 10 years, I still let that old chestnut drive from time to time.
And just like that, I watched myself switch back on.
I’m here to share my love of nourishment with the world, and to live a life of purpose. That’s what fulfils me. It’s what inspires me. Reminding yourself that it’s all made up is important when you are creating the life you want.
So next time life doesn’t go the way you plan: remember that the plan was made up anyway, so go make up a new one! It’s there to be created.
With so much love to you

Mr. Sultan Ahmed, s/o Maulana Akram Udddin, was born in 1901 at Thay Chaung Village (Balukhali, Malavi Para) of Maungdaw north, Arakan, Burma. He was matriculated in 1919 from Government Muslim High School of Chittagong and graduated in 1924, with B.A degree, from University of Calcutta. In 1929, he obtained his B.L degree from the Rangoon University.
Since 1930, after enrolling as Higher Grade Pleader, he practiced law in both Rangoon and Akyab. He was appointed as Assistant Township Officer (ATO) in 1942 at Maungdaw there he served till 1946. Later he joined the Judicial Department and became First Class Magistrate under the British Government.
He was the president of Jamiatul Ulema of Maungdaw North since 1946 and took part in the Constituent Assembly election of 1947 with Jamiatul Ulema ticket. He was elected and became a member of the Constituent Assembly. He continued in his office, representing the Maungdaw North constituency till Burmese independence and took the oath of allegiance to the Union of Burma on the 4th January 1948 as member of the new parliament of the Union of Burma. He also participated in 1952 in the Parliamentary Election of 1952 1nd 1956 and elected in both elections as members of the Chamber of Deputies. He served as a Parliamentary Secretary in the Ministry of Minorities, Ministry of Relief and Resettlement, and Ministry of Social and Religious Affairs. His wife Daw Aye Nyunt (a) Zohora Begam,was also elected as a Member of Parliament in 1952 from Maungdaw South Constituency. In 1960 Parliamentary Election, he took part with the ticket of Stable AFPFL led by U Ba Swe and U Kyaw Nyein but failed to be elected. In 1958 the AFPFL split into two factions. One led by U Nu supported by Thakin Tin and M.A Rachid, called Clean AFPFL. The second, led by U Ba Swe and U Kyaw Nyein, called itself Stable AFPFL.
He was one of the five Members of Commission for Arakan, which was appointed on 9 September 1948 by the government. On 9 September 1948 the Government appointed a Regional Autonomy Commission with Chief Justice, Sir U Ba U, as a Chairman. Of 28 members, 6 were Kareans, 6 were Mona, 5 Arakanese, 7 Burmans, and 4 came from other frontier peoples. The commission was empowered to inquire in to the question of autonomy for Kareans, Mons, and Arakanese. Mr. Sultan Ahmed was one of the 28 members of that Commission representing Arakanese. He was also one of the 7 members Inquiry Commission of Arakan, which was appointed by the President of Union of Burma on 29 July 1949.
He was an advocate of the High Court of Union of Burma in Rangoon where he practiced law from 1949 to 1959. He took refuge in Bangladesh during 1978 Rohingya exodus in to Chittagong and struggled as the President of the Rohingya Refugee Welfare organization; died i his extreme old age on 2nd March 1981 in Chittagong while in exile in Chittagong.
The following is his Manifesto for 1960 Parliamentary Election: –

Probabilistic safety via stochastic reachability: Application to autonomous systems and to physiological systems
Add to Google Calendar
Assurances of safety in autonomous systems are complicated by stochasticity, from human-on-the-loop actions, disturbance effects, and inevitable limitations in mathematical models. Nascent theoretical results have been limited by computational complexity, as the underlying solution is based on dynamic programming with a multiplicative cost function. We describe an approach based in Fourier transforms, which provides an exact solution for uncontrolled systems, and an underapproximation for systems with a control input. This method enables high dimensional stochastic viability and reachability calculations, and has been applied to problems in collaborative robot navigation, dynamic target capture, satellite rendezvous and docking, and circadian entrainment. Applying these methods to physiological systems is complicated by characterization of the underlying dynamical system. We describe efforts to characterize feedback mechanisms in Parkinson's disease, with the ultimate goal of synthesizing probabilistically safe controllers to mitigate motor symptoms. When coupled with methods for characterization of human action and response, methods for probabilistic safety could form the basis for analysis and design of high-dimensional human-in-the-loop systems.

Himachal Pradesh Police personnel will be taught Tibetan and Chinese languages. Special training will also be given to the jawans to strengthen the intelligence system on the India-China border.
Kinnaur and Lahaul-Spiti districts share a 240 km border with China. Around 48 villages are located near the international border, of which 36 fall in Kinnaur, which shares a border of 160 km, while the remaining 12 villages are in Lahaul-Spiti, which shares a border of 80 km with China.
Four police posts will be set up in the border areas of Chitkul, Namgya and Chango in Kinnaur and Sumdo in Lahaul-Spiti district. For this, the state government has also sent a proper proposal to the central government.
The police posts will not only fulfill the long pending demand of the public but also reduce the growing threat along the India-China border.
An analysis by the team of seven IPS officers who visited the border villages and the international border found that the population of these villages was dwindling due to lack of economic opportunities and only old women were left in most of the border villages.
Remote and isolated villages are being developed in Kinnaur and Lahaul-Spiti districts along the China border. In the last two years, the infrastructure on the India-China border has been strengthened, in which road facilities and air defense systems, communication facilities, intelligence systems have been strengthened.


Homeless Children and Youth
The School District of Cameron accommodates those affected by homelessness as declared in the McKinney-Vento Act.
The McKinney-Vento Act defines homeless children and youth as:
Children and youth who lack a fixed, regular, and adequate nighttime residence, and includes children and youth who are:
- sharing the housing of other persons due to loss of housing, economic hardship, or a similar reason - living in motels, hotels, trailer parks, or camping grounds due to the lack of alternative adequate accommodations
- living in emergency or transitional shelters
-abandoned in hospitals
- living in a primary nighttime residence that is a public or private place not designed for or ordinarily used as a regular sleeping accommodation for human beings
- living in cars, parks, public spaces, abandoned buildings, substandard housing, bus or train stations, or similar settings; and
- migratory children who qualify as homeless because the children are living in circumstances described above
If you are personally aware of or are acquainted with any children or youth who may qualify according to the above criteria, the Cameron School District provides the following assurances to parents and guardians of homeless children and youth and unaccompanied homeless youth:
- The child or youth shall be immediately enrolled and allowed to fully participate in school, even if unable to produce records normally required for enrollment (e.g., academic records, immunization and other required health records, proof of residency, or other documentation) or has missed application or enrollment deadlines during any period of homelessness.

Blessing ‘Yemi’ Mobolade was sworn in as the 42nd Mayor of Colorado Springs on June 6, 2023. This is his first four-year term as mayor. He is the first Black man and immigrant to be elected mayor of Colorado Springs and one of the youngest.
Mobolade moved from Indiana to Colorado Springs in 2010, where he started a church as part of the Christian and Missionary Alliance. After identifying a need in downtown Colorado Springs for cultural gathering places, he became one of the first entrepreneurs to invest in downtown after the Great Recession when he co-founded The Wild Goose Meeting House in 2013.
Seeing a greater need for collaboration within the faith community, Mobolade began working as director of outreach and engagement at First Presbyterian Church, where he would go on to co-found COSILoveYou, a nonprofit that unites more than 100 area churches under the common mission of serving the Colorado Springs community.
In 2017, Mobolade co-founded Good Neighbors Meeting House in the Patty Jewett neighborhood to provide an additional gathering place in the downtown area. He also began to leverage his success as an entrepreneur and business owner and began working as the vice president of business retention and expansion at the Colorado Springs Chamber & Economic Development Corporation. Here he was instrumental in caring for local employers and attracting new companies during a period of record job growth for Colorado Springs.
In 2019, Mobolade served the City of Colorado Springs as a small business development administrator. In this role, he established tools to assist entrepreneurs with starting a business, COSOpenForBiz.com and Permit Partner, and led many collaborative efforts across the community’s public and private sectors. Mobolade stepped down from this position in March 2022 to officially launch his mayoral campaign.


The challenges that the society faces are getting more and more complex. This means additional new skills are needed to counter them.

Food and nutrition security remains one of the major global challenges, especially in the developing countries. In Africa (the most food insecure region on the world), approximately 232 million or one in four people are undernourished. According to the United Nations, the world population is predicted to reach 9 billion by the year 2050. In the same period, Africa’s population is projected to double from the current 1.2 billion to 2.5 billion. To meet the food and nutrition needs of this rising population, food production (under the current trends) will have to increase by 70%.

The hormone estrogen can sharpen mental performance, and now scientists think they know why. Estrogen may boost the number of connections between brain cells, improving communication in the brain.
The work was presented today (Nov. 17) at the Society for Neuroscience meeting in San Diego.
Previous work has shown that giving estrogen to both animals and people can improve their memory and increase accuracy on tests.
In the new study, researchers at Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine treated rat brain cells grown in a dish with a compound similar to estrogen. The compound activated the cells' estrogen receptors, setting off a chain of chemical reactions inside the cells. This in turn caused an increase in the cell's number of dendritic spines hair-like protrusions on the surface of cells that allow them to talk to each other.
"What this told us is that if you specifically activated the [estrogen receptor] you can potentially increase the amount of information that could go from one cell to another," study researcher Deepak Srivastava said.
It has also been theorized that estrogen treatments could improve symptoms of Alzheimer's and schizophrenia. However, long-term use of estrogen as a therapy has been shown to be problematic results from the Women's Health Initiative in 2002 found that women taking estrogen to relieve symptoms of menopause were at increased risk for breast cancer , stroke and heart attack.
Because of these risks, researchers have been searching for a way to activate the estrogen receptors without using estrogen itself. This would allow patients to get the benefits of estrogen without the detrimental effects, Srivastava said.
The compound in the study does indeed provide a way to mimic estrogen's effects. However, the researchers noted they cannot be sure whether this compound would also cause side effects similar to those of estrogen.
And much more research needs to be done to determine if the same effect an increase in communication between cells would occur inside people's brains.
But the researchers have reason to believe boosting the number of dendirtic spines in Alzheimer's and schizophrenia patients may be beneficial. People with both of these conditions often have a reduced number of these spines in their brains.
The study was funded by the National Institutes of Health, the American Heart Association and the National Alliance for Research into Schizophrenia and Depression.

In a news report, the national carrier of the United Arab Emirates Etihad Airways said it has collaborated with blockchain-based platform for the travel industry Winding Tree. This is to explore how blockchain can aid in distribution.
On Aug. 8, Etihad joined a variety of other leading international airlines that already deploy the Winding Tree platform. Airlines such as Air Canada, Air France-KLM, and Lufthansa are included.
Transaction costs for customers are set to reduce by the product, as well as enabling companies publish inventory directly to their customers, among other services.
Tristan Thomas, the director of digital and innovation at Etihad, stated in a news report that “Winding Tree is obviously our distribution (platform) and that’s an opportunity for us to disrupt a traditionally siloed market dominated by major distribution systems.”
The chief operating officer and co-founder of Winding Tree, Peter Anderson, also commented on the cooperation.
He stated, “We have been doing experiments and new solutions on the platform. Ultimately, that benefits the consumer.”
In addition, “When there’s innovation, you start to have disruption, you have competition which results in better prices for the consumer.”
Previously on news reports, Air Canada announced its involvement in the Winding Tree platform last October.
Block Chain Availability for Content Access
The Director of Global Product Distribution for Air Canada, Keith Wallis, said, “Air Canada recognizes the importance of leveraging. We plan to integrate Air Canada’s Direct Connect API with Winding Tree’s public blockchain platform.”
He also stated, “This is giving the blockchain-savvy users the ability to access our content directly from the source.”
Meanwhile, airlines around the world have made internal processes by integrating the block chain.
Cathay Pacific, Hong Kong’s flagship airline, introduced the first blockchain project to manage unit load devices earlier this month. The project also plans to reduce paper-based processes. It is by executing a block chain application that allows instant management of such devices through a smartphone.

A LEO-LEO Occultation Observing System for Characterizing Atmospheric Humidity, Clouds, Temperature, Geopotential, and Ozone
Our quest towards a deeper understanding of weather and climate and a significantly improved skill to predict their future behavior depends critically on our knowledge of the present structure of atmospheric water and its variations. Here we present and discuss a particular implementation of the spacecraft radio occultation technique designed to characterize the thermodynamic and compositional structure of the atmosphere referred to as BRIGHTOC (Bi-static Radar Imaging of Geopotential, Humidity, Temperature, Ozone and Clouds). The concept works by transmitting tones near the 22 and 183 GHz water lines from one LEO across the limb of the atmosphere to another LEO. The measured delay and attenuation of the signal experienced as it propagates through the atmosphere can be inverted to recover atmospheric moisture, temperature and the geopotential of pressure surfaces. In clear sky conditions, our analysis indicates this limb-viewing system will retrieve horizontally-averaged water vapor concentrations to ~1-2% precision with ~250 m or better diffraction-limited vertical resolution from near the surface well into the mesosphere (Kursinski etr al., 2002a). Absolute accuracy of better than 1% will be achieved through the use of calibration tones and on orbit spectroscopic calibration. Relative humidity can be retrieved to a few % limited primarily by the retrieved temperature accuracy. In cloudy conditions, the performance will be within a factor of ~2 of clear sky performance and allow characterization of cloud liquid water to ~0.04 g/m3 or better near the surface and significantly better at higher altitudes (Kursinski et al., 2002b). The technique complements nadir viewing sounders which provide better horizontal resolution. Its unique features are well suited to characterizing the present distribution of atmospheric moisture and its variations at unprecedented levels of precision and accuracy. The technique will provide substantial observational constraints on the mechanisms controlling the distribution of atmospheric moisture. A portion of our concept is presently being considered for demonstration in the ESA ACE+ mission to launch in 2007. We will describe the technique and summarize its expected capabilities.
