Fructose is a carbohydrate simple sugar and is a common component in many varieties of plants. The name is derived from fruit and hence it’s called a fruit sugar. Fructose can be an instant source of energy because it enters the bloodstream directly when digested. Sources of fructose include corn, sugar cane, honey, fruits grown on vines and trees, many root type vegetables, sugar beets, and others. The most common sources of fructose are sugar cane, corn, and sugar beets. You’ll see fructose mentioned on food and beverage labels especially in fruit juices that are made from concentrates. One of the more well-known types of fructose is high fructose corn syrup (HFCS). High fructose corn syrup contains fructose and glucose with both being the same type of saccharide (sugar). If you follow dietary news, then you’ll know HFCS is a controversial ingredient. The super sweet HFCS has been implicated in many disease conditions including diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and others. Find out more about high fructose corn syrup.

WAS Tyrannosaurus rex a vicious predator, or was it a scavenger, skulking across the plains in search of carrion? Palaeontologists have debated this for nearly a century. But a team in the US has finally shown that the king of dinosaurs had teeth strong enough to capture and kill its food. Greg Erickson, a PhD student at the University of California at Berkeley, and others recreated the crushing jaw of a T. rex by attaching a bronze and aluminium replica of one of its teeth to a hydraulic press. They then placed cow bones in the "jaw" to reproduce the bite marks discovered on a fossilised Triceratops pelvis found in Montana. The Triceratops pelvis had been torn from its body about 70 million years ago and gnawed by a tyrannosaur. The dinosaur had left about 80 toothmarks on the carcass, including punctures near the vertebrae. Long furrows suggested that ...

Headache is a very common symptom and can affect people of all ages. Severe or recurring headaches, especially those accompanied by other symptoms, may be a sign of a more serious disorder and should be treated by a doctor. There are two types of headaches — primary, in which the headache is the disorder itself, and secondary, in which the headache is caused by another condition, such as a brain tumor; hemorrhaging or bleeding in the brain; meningitis, an infection causing inflammation of the membranes covering the brain and spinal cord; or giant cell arteritis, a disorder involving inflammation and damage to blood vessels, particularly those in the neck. Migraine is the most common type of primary headache for which people seek a doctor's care. Tension-type headache is typically less severe, and people generally do not seek medical attention for this disorder. Other primary headache disorders, such as cluster headache, are rarer and often very severe. Many patients overuse headache medications, such as pain killers or migraine treatments, which can cause a condition known as medication overuse headache (MOH). If you develop this condition, you must be treated first for MOH as it prevents most other therapies from working properly.

The encounter, which is predicted to happen four billion years from now, will transform our galaxy. The Sun is likely to be flung into a new region, although scientists predict our Earth and solar system are in no danger of being destroyed. The prediction is the result of painstaking Nasa Hubble Space Telescope measurements of the motion of Andromeda, which also is known as M31. The galaxy is now 2.5 million light-years away, but it is inexorably falling toward the Milky Way under the mutual pull of gravity between the two galaxies and the invisible dark matter that surrounds them both. "After nearly a century of speculation about the future destiny of Andromeda and our Milky Way, we at last have a clear picture of how events will unfold over the coming billions of years," said Sangmo Tony Sohn of the Space Telescope Science Institute (STScI) in Baltimore. Computer simulations derived from Hubble's data show that it will take an additional two billion years after the encounter for the interacting galaxies to completely merge under the tug of gravity and reshape into a single elliptical galaxy similar to the kind commonly seen in the local universe. Furthermore, M31's small companion, the Triangulum galaxy, M33, is expected to join in the collision and perhaps later merge with the M31/Milky Way pair. In this video, the scientists discuss their quest to determine the fate of the Milky Way galaxy and reflect on the encounter's possible influence on our solar system. Video courtesy: Nasa, ESA, M. Estacion, F. Summers, G. Bacon, B. Moster, J. Anderson, R. van der Marel, and S.T. Sohn (STScI)

Courtesy of EarthSky A Clear Voice for Science In the west after sunset tonight, you will find Spica and the waxing crescent moon. The planets to the right of the moon are Mars, Venus and Saturn. Of those planets, Venus will be easiest to see because it is so bright. You might need binoculars for Mars and Saturn. Spica is known as a blue-white star. Can you detect its color in contrast to nearby stars? If not, try looking at Spica with binoculars. Spica isn’t just one star. Although our eyes see just one star here, Spica is actually a multiple star system. Spica is the brightest star in the second-biggest constellation Virgo the Maiden. Some say that Spica translates to mean ear of wheat. On old star charts, this star is often pictured as a shaft of wheat held in the Maiden’s hand. Since Spica is near the ecliptic –or path of the sun, moon and planets across our sky –, it is sometimes covered over by the moon. Planets sometimes pass in front of Spica, too, but no need to mark your calendars. The last time the planet Venus passed in front of Spica was November 10, 1783 and the next time will be September 2, 2197. In September of 2010, both the planets Venus and Mars will have a conjunction with Spica. On September 1, Venus passes 1.2 degrees south of Spica, whereas Mars passes 2 degrees north of Spica on September 4. However, these two planets will not pass directly in front of Spica. Now for a riddle. What is 4.5 billion years old, but is new again every 29.5 days? You guessed it… the moon. The moon is considered to be new when it is most nearly between the Earth and sun in its monthly orbit around Earth. Written by Deborah ByrdPrint This Post

Marfan syndrome is inherited in an autosomal dominant pattern. It involves the mutation of the FBN1 or fibrillin-1 gene, a so-called dominant gene, and so only one copy of the mutated gene will produce the syndrome in offspring.Continue Reading Marfan syndrome affects the connective tissue of the body, rendering them weaker and more flexible than typical. It can result in a number of health problems including impaired vision as the lenses become dislocated or weak heart valves, causing irregular heartbeat, shortness of breath and more. An individual carrying this dominant gene has a 50 percent chance of passing it along to their offspring. It is estimated that approximately 25 percent of Marfan syndrome cases are caused by a new, spontaneous mutation and not by inheritance of the faulty gene.Learn more about Conditions & Diseases

An abscess is an infection in or around the tip of the root of the tooth which may or may not be painful. It occurs when the pulp, the nerve inside the root canal, dies and becomes inflamed or infected. The most common symptom of an abscess is an ache in the bone around the tooth, but you may also experience pain when biting. It also may result in swelling of the gums. A dental abscess is usually treated with root canal treatment. Root Canal Treatment (Endodontic treatment) is the last try to save a tooth as a functional part of our chewing organ and is necessary when the pulp becomes inflamed or infected. The inflammation or infection can have several causes: a deep decay, frequent dental procedures on the tooth, fracture, faulty crowns or a crack or chip in the tooth. Furthermore, trauma to a tooth may cause pulp damage even if the tooth has no visible chips or cracks. If pulp inflammation or infection is left untreated, it can become painful or lead to an abscess.

This assessment has students examine three key scenes of The Crucible. They must choose and discuss a literary element, and how that element contributes to the development of John Proctor's character. The second part of the assessment asks that students analyze the end of Act II (passage 2), determine a literary element that is used, and how that literary element contributes to the justification for Miller's ending of Act II. This assessment allows students to choose any literary element that you have been teaching during the reading of The Crucible. The assessment will take two class periods or one block period of 90 minutes.

A theocratic government would be ruled by a leader that was commanded by a god. It was believed that a god would give divine rule to this leader and he would be the interceptor for this god. This includes the worship of only one god, and the following of his commands. This type of government brings many advantages and disadvantages to the state. One of the biggest advantages would be the control towards people. Everything had rules and most people followed the rules because they knew that it was a command of god to do so. This would bring unity also because everyone would worship the same god and everyone would be on the same page. But the disadvantages of a theocratic state come when these certain rules do not satisfy everyone in the state. Even today, not everyone can agree on everything. One of the main things we disagree on is beliefs and religion. Because not everyone wanted to follow the worshipped god in the state, they had the right to have their own beliefs. Except that in a theocratic government, going against the law means punishment. For example, during Byzantines’ time, anyone that worshipped a different religion was prosecuted. This comes along with not having any freedom of religion and freedom of speech, rights which we appreciate today. So a theocratic state cannot be a perfect one because there has always been disagreement and there will always be.

Empiricism is a philosophical approach to knowledge and Epistemology that emphasizes reliance on evidence gained through the senses and experimentation, as opposed to intuition or purely theoretical considerations. Something described as empirical is generally based on direct observation or experience, with emphasis on those experiences being objective. It is contrast with idealism, rationalism, and historicism. It is classified as a phenomenological theory of thought. Typically, empirical research results in gathering quantitative measurements. Several examples of this are: - Measuring the position of a star beside the sun during a solar eclipse to verify Albert Einstein's Theory of relativity. - Measuring the voltage across the terminals of a capacitor over time, at regular intervals. - Keeping statistics regarding the effects of a new medicine versus the placebo effect. Implications to Apologetics One of the primary failures of the God hypothesis, as well as most supernatural claims, is that they are not empirical, testable or even falsifiable. Most supernatural claims are subjective in nature. Subjective arguments for God and the supernatural usually have open-ended interpretations of events, especially in regards to meaning. A large portion of the arguments for the existence of God attempt to reason God into existence, devoid of any empirical experimentation. These logical arguments for God's existence are theoretical in nature and are not based empirical evidence. Philosopher Rene Descartes' arguments can be seen as non-empirical. An empirical phenomenon manifests in some physical way. If the phenomenon does not manifest physically, then it is impossible to determine its existence by physical (empirical) means. Empiricism is the final confirmation for hypothesis, which most apologetic claims cannot do.

Despite popular perceptions of Dartmoor as a natural wilderness, it is an area in which humans and nature have interacted to produce a modern, iconic landscape of tors, moorland and steep wooded valleys. Dartmoor’s archaeology, the physical record of this process, is truly extraordinary. Both in the extent and quality of survival and in its variety, it is among the finest archaeological landscapes in Europe. This is because much of the human endeavour on Dartmoor used granite, a material which is tough and survives well, even in Dartmoor’s often hostile climate. Also, the moorland, when compared to the surrounding lowlands, has been used less intensively over the centuries so more evidence for human activity in the past has survived. As a consequence the evidence for Dartmoor’s human and landscape story is widely preserved from the microscopic scale of the spores of fungi which grew on the dung of animals belonging to Bronze Age farmers and are contained in peat bogs, to the mining landscapes of the medieval and Victorian eras. Its variety is also enormous, from the farming landscapes of the Bronze Age and medieval periods, some abandoned and others still in use, or the prehistoric burial mounds and ceremonial monuments which abound, to the hillforts of the Iron Age and reservoirs and watercourses which continue to provide much of Devon’s water. All are testament to the different ways in which Dartmoor has been exploited by humans over the millennia and the ways in which people have shaped the landscape we see today. On Dartmoor, evidence for these processes is never very far away.

Scientists from the United States were able to transplant the cells of the human immune system a group of mice.As a result of the experiment the mice's immune system began to work on the principle of human immune background. This can be called a breakthrough in the development of a vaccine against the human immunodeficiency virus.Currently, scientists were able not only to create a vaccine and test it. human immunodeficiency virus has clinical similarities to the simian immunodeficiency virus (SIV).But at the same time, there are a plurality of functional differences, however the vaccine tested in monkeys optionally be affected in the same way on the person. When creating vaccines scientists have to solve many prob Before the study, the researchers deprived mice, the immune system, they transplanted human bone marrow and a number of tissues, what exactly is not specified.The researchers argue that the mice began to produce antibodies that can fight various diseases. In this way, the mouse can be subjected to HIV infection and to begin full-scale study of the disease and find effective ways to prevent HIV. problem of HIV vaccine development was the fact that the scientists for a long time could not understand how the progression of the virus in the body and the mechanisms of immune suppression.Animal studies it was impossible to carry out, since they are not exposed to HIV.In human studies have not performed for obvious reasons.That is why the vaccine has not yet been established. professor at the University of Massausets Todd Allen noted that at present scientists around the world will be able to conduct a more extensive work to develop a vaccine against HIV.

We all know to read with our children at home- but they also need to practise their maths! Maths fluency is as important as reading fluency, this take time, practise and revision. There are lots of ways parents can help- - Every half term we send home Key instant recall facts (see below) a sheet of maths facts that children need to learn until they can recall them fluently= without pause or hesitation. - In Key Stage 1 (Years 1 & 2) children will start their Number challenge booklet- See link below. This contains the things they need to know fluently by the end of Year 3. - Once they have completed this they can start their Times tables challenges (see below). Beyond this they can start the Maths Calculator award, Maths Genius award, Almost Einstein award and Ultimate Einstein award! (See Beyond times tables below) - Children want to achieve these awards and gain their next certificates- you can help them revise for this at home- we suggest two or three times a week for ten or fifteen minutes. You might want to display key facts around the house or practise on the way to school. - Parents can attend our maths parent's workshops explaining how we teach maths across the school and how our maths challenges work. You can also speak to your class teacher at any time to find out more information. Please look at the links below to find our about our challenges!

posted by Fred . 1. Suppose you are the owner of a tile company who purchases tiles from a supplier at a rate of $5 each. a. The variable cost is the cost that depends on the quantity, such as how many tiles are purchased. If you buy 100 tiles at $5 each, how much have you spent on tile? What if you buy 500 tiles? (As required with every calculation on the worksheet, please demonstrate your steps even though you may be able to calculate mentally.) b. The fixed cost does not depend on the quantity that you purchase. For example, an ATM fee at the gas pump is a flat amount that does not depend on how many gallons of gas are purchased. It is fixed (not variable) cost.

Chitons, Pacific Northwest Chitons belong to the class Polyplacophora (bearing many plates), this class has over 500 living marine species in its order. They have 8 overlapping plates that make up its armor. The plates or valves as they are sometimes referred as, are joined by a leathery girdle. This allows them to roll up into a ball when it is disturbed or threatened, hence their common name of butterfly shells. Chitons (pronounced ky-tons) are very common on the shores of the Pacific Northwest. They are only found in the ocean, there are 500 to 600 species of chitons worldwide with over 100 found along the northwest coast of Canada and the US. These animals have no eyes or tentacles but its shell contains some very sensitive organs that can perceive shades of light. Many of the species prefer low light and only come out of hiding at night, during the day, they hide under rocks or in crevasses with some even digging down into the sand to hide. They move along with their large and muscular foot much like a snail does. They attach themselves to the rocks and then they follow the contours as they move along searching for food, they feed on algae and small animals with its radula or tongue. They do not move very fast and some chitons have been seen at the same site for more than 25 years. The sexes are separate, when mating, gametes are released into the water and fertilization then takes place. A few species will keep their eggs in a groove along side the foot. Two species were important food sources for the first peoples, the black katy and the giant pacific chitons were both heavily used as food, the ritual of gathering, cooking and eating these animals was quite significant. There are many stories and legends about them that date back to times long gone.

Measuring the impact of our operations What is Noise and why is it important? Sound is what we hear, but noise is defined as unwanted sound that might disturb the peace of people who are in the vicinity. The difference often depends upon the listener and the circumstance, as well as the sound’s frequency and whether the sound is continuous or intermittent. Sound is typically measured by its ‘sound pressure’, commonly measured in decibels. In a typical community, noise starts to cause annoyance when the sound level outside their home measures around 55 decibels. The most common effect of community noise is annoyance. However, excessive noise may also impact the ability to have an ordinary conversation, enjoy some leisure activities, or get a good night’s sleep. How is Noise measured? PRPA measures sound through the use of sensitive monitoring equipment that measures decibels and enables audio recordings of the surrounding area. The data readings are continuous and constantly measured (i.e. real-time), and the data is transmitted directly to PRPA. The audio recordings allow for the identification the many noise sources that are not terminal related (e.g.) trains and railyard, overhead float planes, passing vehicles, birds & wildlife, etc.) Given the subjective nature of its impact as an annoyance or nuisance, neighbourhood feedback is a very important monitoring supplement to this equipment How much Noise is acceptable? Given the vague nature of defining noise, its specific regulation is generally limited to consumer products and occupational standards in Canada. PRPA has adopted 55 decibels as a baseline towards which to manage noise related to terminal activities and their impact on residential areas.

The World Disarmament Conference 1932-1933, attended by 54 states After 1918, disarmament was considered to be a central thing in promoting world peace. One element of an arms race before the First World War was the naval arms race between Germany and Britain. It was thought that this arms race had made a war more likely. France, Poland and Czechoslovakia were worried about their security in case Germany attacked. France was willing to disarm if additional guarantees were provided…

Design and Technology The National Curriculum for Design and Technology (D&T) aims to ensure that all pupils are equipped with the creative, technical and practical expertise needed to perform everyday tasks confidently and to participate successfully in an increasingly technological world. At Stanhope we include D&T as part of our creative curriculum, using and applying skills in a context that is relevant and useful. The subject encourages children to become autonomous and creative problem-solvers, both as individuals and as part of a team. They learn how to identify needs and opportunities and to respond by developing ideas, and eventually making products and systems. They combine practical skills with an understanding of aesthetic, social and environmental issues, as well as of functions and industrial practices. This allows them to reflect on and evaluate present and past design and technology, its uses and its impacts. Design and technology helps all children to become discriminating and informed consumers and potential innovators. The element of food technology ensures that children build a strong foundation in the principles of nutrition and basic cooking techniques. Classes will undertake a D&T project each term which will give children the chance to explore an existing product or technology in real contexts then design, make and evaluate their own product.

Electroencephalogram (EEG) is a test used to look at the electrical activity in the brain. An EEG may be done to: - Help diagnose seizures - Assess if brain function has been affected by certain conditions and diseases, such as: - Brain infection— encephalitis - Electrolyte imbalance At UVA, our labs are ABRET-accredited, a recognition given to programs that meet certain technical standards and demonstrate quality output. What to Expect of an EEG The painless test takes about 1 to 1.5 hours. In some cases, your doctor will need you to do an EEG overnight or over a number of days. The test may be done at home or in the hospital. Your doctor will get a report within 1-2 weeks and will talk to you about the results.

Electric Eel, Electrophorus electricus, Venezuela. Photo: Reinhard Dirscherl / ullstein bild / Getty Images Researchers are trying to find a safe, non-toxic way to power electric implants like pacemakers by looking at electric eels, according to Nature. Why it matters: If the prototype can be successfully developed, it could be safer for the body because it wouldn't be as potentially toxic as traditional batteries, and could eventually run on bodily fluids, per Nature. It's also flexible, transparent, and runs on a solution of salt and water.How it works: The fish (which are not true eels) have specialized cells electrocytes all along the length of their bodies. They change the electrocyte's conductivity varying the salt and mineral concentrations in the cells. This causes the cells to create a flow of charge-carrying ions, producing electricity. Each cell only produces a small charge, but stacked together they can produce up to 600 volts of electricity to locate and stun prey. Thomas Schroeder, a chemical engineer at the University of Michigan, and his team made similar models of electrocytes using four different hydrogels made of polyacrylamide and water. They combined 2,500 units to produce 110 volts -- enough to potentially power "ultra-low-power devices, including some cardiac pacemakers," per Nature.

Wise Owls Social Club Social skills are some of the more challenging behaviors for learners and families living with autism to conquer. Many individuals who have autism are not able to learn social skills from observation alone. Satisfaction, happiness and community participation success often depends on social behavior. Families often depend on structured, safe, supportive environments for their children to learn these skills. Researchers at the University of Utah and U.C. Davis MIND Institute reviewed five commercial social skills curricula and identified the elements of an effective social skills group*: - Provide structure and predictability - Break down abstract social concepts into concrete actions - Simplify language and group children by language level - Work in pairs or groups with cooperation and partnership encouraged - Provide multiple and varied learning opportunities - Foster self-awareness and self-esteem - Provide opportunities for practice so that skills are used beyond the group in real life settings We keep it interesting, fun, and supportive with the learners assessing and helping each other with an instructor’s guidance. We practice sharing, direction following, meal-time conversation directly through making a snack once a week with our friends! If a friend is having a less than stellar day, their friends address it and offer solutions! We tell jokes and laugh a lot.

Upland Cotton (Gossypium hirsutum) - which is actually only one of several species of cotton grown in the world. Cotton is a descriptive term for several plants in the genus Gossypium in the Malvaceae family. While there are about 4 main cultivated species, Upland Cotton constitutes 90 percent of worldwide production. As it turns out Upland Cotton is native to the Americas. The first discovered cultivar of this species was in Mexico about 5,000 years ago.

The measuring concept is actually quite simple. We place a chamber on a small soil surface area and follow the change in CO2 concentration of the air in this chamber. The efflux of carbon dioxide from soil is usually higher than the photosynthetic uptake of ground vegetation and thus, the concentration of carbon dioxide starts to increase in the chamber. From the rate of the concentration change in a given time, we can calculate the rate of CO2 exchange between the soil surface and air. This is a very widely used technique in plant physiology to measure soil respiration. We use an automatic system that works with minimal assistance. The chambers are transparent and ventilated, and the conditions inside follow the natural daily and seasonal changes of light, temperature and air humidity. The chambers open and close automatically. When it is closed, we follow the change in CO2 concentration and calculate the CO2 exchange rate.

Microbial Pie, or What Did You Feed the Neighbors? Lake Superior College The Emergency Room seems busier than usual, and the cases coming in are all too similar. Everyone seems to be suffering from the same symptoms - abdominal pain, vomiting, and bloody diarrhea. Once the hospital staff identify the bacteria causing the problems, the next step is tracking down the source. This case uses a story of microbial contamination, combined with lab experiments, to teach skills in problem-solving, critical thinking, and experimental design and analysis. It was developed for a general microbiology course primarily composed of health care students and biology majors planning to transfer to four-year schools. There are three labs associated with this case. - Develop critical thinking skills. - Practice a team approach to problem solving. - Demonstrate how microbiology influences even the most trivial things we do. - Recognize the possible sources of contamination and control methods for dealing with microbes. - Understand why epidemiology is important. - Explore the environmental pressures that encourage the formation of resistant populations of microbes in a real-life setting. - Work with experimental design and analysis. - Have fun with microbiology.

Authored By: Candace Whitman Today, August 26th is Women’s Equality Day, which is a day that was designated in 1971 to commemorate the ratification of the 19th amendment in 1920. The 19th amendment granted women the right to vote. The 19th amendment was a major step forward in the fight for women’s equality and voting rights for all U.S. people. Some states, however, still excluded minority women from voting for decades longer. According to the National Women’s History Museum, “In 1971, Representative Bella Abzug (D-NY) introduced a successful bill designating August 26th of each year as Women’s Equality Day. Part of the bill reads that Women’s Equality Day is a symbol of women’s continued fight for equal rights and that the United States commends and supports them. It decreed that the President is authorized and requested to issue a proclamation annually in commemoration of woman suffrage and the 1970 Strike for Equality.” We recognize the women whose work was vital to the women’s suffrage movement like Mary Church Terrell, Susan B. Anthony, Elizabeth Cady Stanton, Ida B. Wells, Marie Louise Bottineau Baldwin, Sojourner Truth, Frances Ellen Watkins Harper, and so many more. Women make up 69% of all Advocate Capital associates and more than half of managers and the Executive Leadership Team! Join us in taking the time today to acknowledge what has been accomplished and the progress that still needs to be made in terms of equality for women.

Today is the birthday of Alexander Fleming, a Scottish bacteriologist born in 1881 who accidentally discovered the antibiotic penicillin, one of the most important medicines of the 20th century. A strange and rare mold, Penicillium notatum, happened to be floating around in Fleming's lab because another researcher was studying it. Luckily, Fleming had the untidy habit of keeping his bacterial plates longer than usual, and when he returned from a weeklong vacation in 1928, he discovered the mold growth. He determined that a compound produced by the mold, which he called penicillin, could kill pathogenic bacteria, but not white blood cells or human tissue. The finding lay dormant until 1940, when chemists Ernst Chain and Howard Florey isolated, purified, and tested the antibiotic in clinical trials. Fleming, Chain, and Florey were subsequently awarded the 1945 Nobel Prize in medicine. [Source: Emily McMurray, Ed. Notable Twentieth Century Scientists (Gale Research Inc., ITP, 1995).]

Unusual Cancers of Childhood (PDQ®): Treatment - Patient Information [NCI] - General Information About Unusual Cancers of Childhood There are three ways that cancer spreads in the body. The three ways that cancer spreads in the body are: - Through tissue. Cancer invades the surrounding normal tissue. - Through the lymph system. Cancer invades the lymph system and travels through the lymph vessels to other places in the body. - Through the blood. Cancer invades the veins and capillaries and travels through the blood to other places in the body. When cancer cells break away from the primary (original) tumor and travel through the lymph or blood to other places in the body, another (secondary) tumor may form. This process is called metastasis. The secondary (metastatic) tumor is the same type of cancer as the primary tumor. For example, if breast cancer spreads to the bones, the cancer cells in the bones are actually breast cancer cells. The disease is metastatic breast cancer, not bone cancer.

Prepared by Elisabeth Lindsay. Mitochondrial DNA, also known as mtDNA, is the genetic material found in the mitochondria, the so-called "energy factories" of the cell. It is the only type of DNA found outside the cell nucleus. Mitochondrial or mtDNA is passed down through the female line from mothers to both sons and daughters, in contrast to Y-chromosome DNA, which is passed down exclusively from father to son. The mtDNA is also distinct in that sons do not pass down their mother's mtDNA to their children, but daughter's do. The mtDNA test is one type of DNA test used in the field of genealogy. The mtDNA test does little to solve one's immediate research problems: it is often used to chart one's deep ancestry or ancestral group, unlike the Y-chromosome DNA test that can be used to chart the father to son paternal line from the present to the past, for as far back as the paternal line remains unbroken. A broad sampling of mtDNA collected across cultures is used to determine the ancestry of various human groups and the early migration patterns of humans around the world, as in the National Geographic, Genographic Project. << The Genealogy Guide << Archived Materials

It’s a jarring image — a young child undergoing a surgery that removes half of his brain. Now a Cleveland Clinic study finds that this surgery has helped many children to not only enjoy freedom from seizures, but to walk, talk and see better, too. Surgery boosts function in most kids “We found that 80 percent of children learn to walk after surgery,” says Dr. Gupta. “Seventy-five or 80 percent of children have no vision deficit. Seventy percent of children learn to speak at or close to their age.” Dramatic findings from the study From 1997 to 2009, Dr. Gupta and his team of researchers followed 186 children whose average age was 6 years old. All children had half of their brains removed through hemispherectomy. Before the surgery, about 75 percent had daily seizures despite taking multiple anti-epileptic medications. Only a small fraction of the 3 million Americans with epilepsy are eligible for hemispherectomy — it’s typically used only when anti-seizure medications fail. After surgery, the results were dramatic: - More than half the children were seizure-free - Another 15 percent saw their seizures reduced by 90 percent - 83 percent walked independently - 70 percent had better language skills - Nearly 60 percent were in mainstream schools (with some assistance) Reading a challenge after surgery “Surgery not only makes them seizure-free,” says Dr. Gupta, “but having seizure-freedom helps them learn more, do more and gain a higher academic, social as well as occupational potential.” Over the long term, learning to read seems the most difficult and challenging task for the children, says Dr. Gupta. He says post-op efforts may be geared toward reading and learning. Help in making a tough decision about surgery These findings may help parents in making a very difficult decision about their children undergoing this surgery. “Epilepsy surgery is a very important treatment for selected children who don’t respond to medical therapy,” says Dr. Gupta. “What we’ve shown is that even though hemispherectomy sounds very radical, the benefits far outweigh the risks.”

The 33 atolls that make up Kiribati, occupy a vast area in the Pacific. Kiribati straddles the equator and stretches nearly 4,000 km from east to west, and more than 2,000 km from north to south. Most of the islands are less than 2 km wide, and no higher than 6 m above sea level. Kiribati faces a moderate degree of risk to natural disasters. Most of the population lives a subsistence lifestyle as Kiribati has few natural resources and is one of the least developed Pacific Island countries. Even minor emergencies can overwhelm national capacity and significantly affect communities and the economy. Strong winds are common, especially during the storm season from November to April. Rainfall is varied between the islands and from year to year, and long droughts of up to 16 months are relatively common. Kiribati is also located in an area of high seismic activity and undersea earthquakes can generate destructive tsunamis. Due to the low level of some of the islands, Kiribati is highly vulnerable to the effects of tidal surges and sea level rises. To date, no major rapid onset natural disaster has occurred, however climate-change related events are of increasing concern. The most recent disaster to impact Kiribati was a flood in late 2008, which affected 85 people. In 1999, a drought affected 84,000 people. The UN maintains a joint presence in Kiribati with UNICEF, UNDP, and UNFPA working together on a number of development and disaster risk reduction programmes with UNICEF taking the lead. In 2011, OCHA worked closely with the Secretariat of the Pacific Community (SPC) to develop a drought management plan.

Helicopter flight was the first flight envisioned by man. In fact, the ancient Chinese were playing with a hand-spun toy that rose upward when revolved rapidly and as early as the mid 1500's, the great Italian inventor Leonardo da Vinci had used his fertile mind to make drawings of a machine that we now know as the helicopter. Each blade in a helicopter rotor is an airfoil, a wing with a curved top and a straight bottom. As the blade spins around, air travels faster over the top surface than under the bottom. This reduces air pressure above the blade and produces an upward force called lift. The pitch of the blades (the angle they make to the incoming airflow) controls the amount of lift. During takeoff, the pilot increases the pitch with a control called the collective pitch stick. The lift produced is greater than the helicopter's weight and this makes the helicopter rise upward. If the lift exactly equals the weight, the helicopter hovers. If the weight is greater than the lift, the helicopter descends to Earth. Bell Helicopter Textron, is a producer of commercial and military helicopters, and the pioneer of the revolutionary tiltrotor aircraft.

The naked tail of a hermit crab is a flaccid, unsexy, and vulnerable thing. When a snail shell of the right size is nowhere to be found, the hermit crab’s gotta do what’s it gotta do, which in this case is living inside a sea anemone. Hermit crabs will often place anemones on their shells—the anemone’s stinging tentacles keep away predators and it gets to hitch a ride while feeding on food particles the crab misses. That’s probably how this started. But when the crab outgrew its small snail shell, the anemone grew to cover both shell and crab. Greg Rouse and colleagues found this critter during an expedition off the coast of Costa Rica in 2010. The area is lacking in large snail shells, says Dr. Rouse, and there has been a previous report of this species, Parapagurus foraminosus, covered by an anemone.

|Free reference guides to English Grammar| Practical English Usage, Grammar terms Vocabulary, Speaking and Writing Practical English Usage English grammar and vocabulary exercises Omission of relative pronouns Posted by Manjusha. Filed in English Grammar The most common relative pronouns in English are who, whom, whose, that and which. In certain situations the words what, when and where can also function as relative pronouns. Relative pronouns introduce relative clauses. A relative clause is a type of adjective clause used to modify a word or phrase in the main clause. The word or phrase thus modified by the relative clause is called its antecedent. Here the relative clause that Julie bought modifies the noun dress. Therefore the word dress is the antecedent of the relative clause. We have already learned that the relative pronoun may be omitted when it acts as the object of the relative clause. After nouns referring to place, we can use where instead of preposition + which. The word whom is not used very often. It is almost always omitted while speaking. In a less formal style, people sometimes use who instead of whom. Note that whom cannot be omitted when it is preceded by a preposition because in this case whom acts as the object of the preposition. Can't find it? |English Grammar |Practical English Usage |Grammatical terms |English Writing |Vocabulary| English Speaking|| |Copyright © 2006 - 2007 perfectyourenglish.com| All Rights Reserved.

The endoplasmic reticulum is a multifold membranous structure within eukaryotic cells which plays a major role in the synthesis of the complex molecules required by the cell and the organism as a whole. Often the membranes of these structures are lined with ribosomes on their outer surfaces, giving them a rough appearance. These parts are called the rough endoplasmic reticulum to contrast them with the smooth endoplasmic reticulum where there are no attached ribosomes. The ribosomes on the rough endoplasmic reticulum manufacture proteins which enter the channels of the endoplasmic reticulum and move to places where they can create pockets. These pockets can then break off as vesicles to transport their protein cargo to the Golgi complex for distribution. Examples of protein synthesis by the rough endoplasmic reticulum are the proteins produced in secretory cells. These include the digestive enzymes produced in the stomach and the protein hormones like insulin produced in the pancreas. Organ systems which produce many proteins have cells with a large amount of rough endoplasmic reticulum. The smooth endoplasmic reticulum plays a major role in synthesizing lipids by means of enzymes embedded in these smooth membranes. It produces the phospholipids and cholesterol used in membrane formation, and along with the membrane proteins produced by the rough ER it can synthesize more membrane for itself, for the Golgi complex, the cell membrane, lysosomes, and others. In liver cells the smooth ER contains enzymes for the detoxification of harmful drugs and metabolic by-products. In the reproductive organs, smooth ER in the cells produces the steroid hormones testosterone and estrogen. Hickman, et al. Audesirk & Audesirk Enger & Ross

Severe weather hasn't taken much of a holiday this summer. Severe weather outbreaks have continued at an active pace in recent days east of the Rockies and the stronger than normal summer 2004 jet stream in place is a contributing factor. Jet streams form in the atmosphere between regions of warm and cool air. This thermal boundary generally shifts north into Canada as the long days of summer heat the atmosphere more uniformly. Upper winds also weaken as the spread in temps between cool and warm air diminishes. But the northward shift and decrease in jet stream winds hasn't been as pronounced this summer. In fact, the jet stream roars ashore Thursday over northern California then travels east to the Dakotas and swings SE into the Carolinas--hundreds of miles south of its normal summer position. That's important because powerful upper level winds contribute to the development and organization of t-storm clusters.

Ontario is in the eastern portion of Canada below the Great Hudson Bay and the above the Great Lakes region. The region offers a variety of climates, from humid and warm summers to cold, snow-laden winters. Native plants have the best chance of surviving the varying weather conditions in the region, and require less maintenance by gardeners. Choose trees and shrubs native to Ontario and you will have hardy plants that maintain the natural beauty of the region. Ash trees native to the Ontario area include but are not limited to varieties such as the green, blue, prickly, white, black and pumpkin ash, according to OntarioTrees.com. One of the most common is the white ash, which features narrow, triangular leaves. Naturally found in fields and woods, the trees make good windbreaks. Birch trees are a common site in the Ontario region, from the European white birch to the dwarf and cherry birch. The distinguishing feature of the birch is its white to gray peeling bark, used by native people to build shelter and canoes. Birch trees, once established, require very little care or maintenance, and offer nearly year-round bright green leaves in a pointed triangle with a wide leaf base extending to a narrow point. Chokeberry shrub varieties such as red or black chokeberry, are native to the Ontario region and produce berries in the fall. These shrubs like sunshine and moist soils, perfect for deep woods or growing along backyard ponds or water structures. The shrub produces clusters of small white flowers and very tart berries. Sweet grass is a common plant throughout Ontario. Long used by native tribes to produce baskets or as a component to ceremonies when burned, as well as for its medicinal properties when infused in tea. Sweet grass is also known as Indian grass and flowers in the springtime. A primary benefit of sweet grass is that it will take root in many different climates and soils, though it prefers damp areas. The plant requires very little care or watering after it is established and propagates by self seeding.

• murmuration • Part of Speech: Noun Meaning: 1. The act of murmuring. 2. (Rare) A flock (of starlings). Notes: The words that are commonly classified as "collective nouns" are actually poetic substitutions for flock or herd. Such are a murmuration of starlings, a murder of crows, a gaggle of geese. We may still say "a flock of starlings, crows or geese". Collective nouns in this sense are another example of the playfulness of language. In Play: Murmurs and murmuring are the more popular words expressing the action of murmuring, but for those of you who don't follow popular trends, here is a departure from the ordinary: "Lucinda loved listening to the murmuration of the trees in her garden at the slightest breeze." However, if you are a collector of collective nouns in the colloquial sense of the word, you can use today's words to represent a flock of starlings: "A murmuration of starlings has taken up residence in my mulberry tree.' Word History: Today's word is based on the verb murmur, which came to English meaning "express discontent by grumbling"—exactly what it meant in French. French inherited the verb from its ancestor, Latin. French converted it from Latin murmurare "to murmur, mutter", based on the noun murmur "a hum, muttering, rushing". Latin and many other Proto-Indo-European languages may have doubled the word mor- "sea, ocean", something known for its murmuration. That theory is supported by other Indo-European languages, where we find Sanskrit murmurah "crackling of a fire", Greek mormyrein "to roar, boil", and Lithuanian murmlénti "to murmur". The other suggestion is that the word was created onomatopoetically, i.e. by sound imitation. (Suzanne Russell recommended today's Good Word after seeing a murmuration of starlings in her yard.)

Implantation of pacemakers The most common condition requiring a pacemaker is bradycardia; a heart rate that is too slow for the body’s demands. Symptoms of bradycardia may include dizziness, extreme fatigue, and shortness of breath or fainting spells. Bradycardia is most commonly caused by ‘sick sinus syndrome’ (when the sinus node sends out electrical impulses too slowly or irregularly) or ‘heart block’ (when the electrical impulse is slowed, becomes irregular or is stopped). A pacemaker restores regular electrical impulses to your heart. The pacemaker has two basic parts - a pulse generator (which contains the battery and circuitry and functions like a miniature computer by controlling the timing of electrical impulses sent to the heart) and pacing leads (which are insulated wires the electrical impulses travel through). At the tip of the lead is a metal electrode that the pacemaker uses to monitor the heart’s electrical activity. It is able to send out electrical impulses when the heart needs them. Pacemakers have a special sensor that detects changes in your exercise state. The pacemaker’s circuitry interprets these changes and increases or decreases the pacing rate to meet your body’s demands. It will increase with physical activity (i.e. walking, gardening or exercising) and will slow down accordingly with rest or sleep. The type of pacemaker you require will depend upon your medical condition. You may require a single chamber, dual chamber or bi-ventricular pacemaker. In many heart rhythm disturbances, your heart may beat normally part of the time and therefore your pacemaker will only work when required. The pacemaker stores information about your heart’s rhythm. It is completely programmable and if your pacing requirements change this is easily attended to in your Doctor’s rooms without the need for any further hospitalisation. The pacemaker is implanted transvenously. The leads are introduced into a vein in the left upper chest region. The lead is then threaded through the vein to the appropriate chamber in the heart. The procedure is performed in the Cardiovascular Theatre and requires only a local anaesthetic.

前言: 原文《Linux System and Performance Monitoring》，本文尝试翻译文章中的CPU篇，并且省略了一些地方，也在一些地方加了自己的理解。 Introducing the CPU The utilization of a CPU is largely dependent on what resource is attempting to access it. The kernel has a scheduler that is responsible for scheduling two kinds of resources: threads (single or multi) and interrupts. The scheduler gives different priorities to the different resources. The following list outlines the priorities from highest to lowest: - Interrupts – Devices tell the kernel that they are done processing. For example, a NIC delivers a packet or a hard drive provides an IO request - Kernel (System) Processes – All kernel processing is handled at this level of priority. - User Processes – This space is often referred to as “userland”. All software applications run in the user space. This space has the lowest priority in the kernel scheduling mechanism. In order to understand how the kernel manages these different resources, a few key concepts need to be introduced. The following sections introduce context switches, run queues, and utilization.

Save the PDF file and find here the examples of plural nouns formation. Here are the rules: 1. Add -s to regular plurals. Adding an s is all you need to form a regular plural: bag – bags. 2. Add -es to words ending in -ch, -s, -sh, -x, -z: box – boxes. 3. If the noun ends with ‑f or ‑fe, the f is often changed to ‑ve before adding the -s to form the plural version: wolf – wolves. Some nouns don’t changes -f into -ve: roof – roofs. 4. Change -y to -ies or -s: lady – ladies. But: boy – boys. 5. Add -es to words ending in -o: tomato – tomatoes. For foreign words this doesn’t work: photo – photos. 6. Remember irregular plurals: woman – women, man – men, child – children, person – people, tooth – teeth, foot – feet, mouse – mice, ox – oxen. 7. There’s no change between plural and singular: sheep – sheep, aircraft – aircraft, fish – fish (fishes is used when talking about different types of fish). 8. These nouns have only singular form: money, hair, love, etc. These nouns have only plural form: scissors, trousers, shorts, etc. Use this flashcard set to memorize and practice the above rules.

The Iliad tells the story of Achilles’ anger, but also encompasses, within its narrow focus, the whole of the Trojan War. The title promises “a poem about Ilium” (i.e. Troy), and the poem lives up to that description. The first books recapitulate the origins and early stages of the Trojan War. Homer, despite being the author of the hugely influential The Odyssey and The Iliad, remains a bit of a mystery. We know very little about his life, but what we can see is the huge legacy that he has left behind in art, music, philosophy, literature, and more. By examining both of his epic poems, we can begin to understand more about this mythical figure. In the extract below Barbara Grazosi takes a closer look at Odysseus’ journey to the Underworld.

Every year the population of the Azores participates in the “SOS Cagarro” initiative a program aimed to preserve the Cory’s Shearwaters species which nests in the Azores. “Cagarro” is the Portuguese name for the Cory’s Shearwaters (Calonectris diomedea) a bird of the albatross family named after the American ornithologist Charles B. Cory. About 60% of the world’s population of Cory’s Shearwaters nests and breeds in the Azores, home to over 180 thousand Cory’s Shearwaters couples during the nesting season. The program, which runs from October first to the end of November, involves the population on the nine islands, by alerting the population to rescue young birds of the species that fall from nests. This year it is estimated that 3.233 birds were rescued in the Azores. A total of 169 organizations and 4.706 volunteers were involved in the rescue program. The event is celebrated across the archipelago with several educational activities. Schools receive “SOS Cagarro” kits and nature watchers teach children how to handle the birds. The Cory’s Shearwaters spends most of its life at sea but comes ashore to breed in late summer. November coincides with the departure of young Cory’s Shearwaters from their nests to their first transoceanic flight. Most birds migrate into the Atlantic as far north as the south-western coasts of Great Britain and Ireland.

Topic: Lets think this through Sometimes we feel lousey, you know blue, sad. Everyone feels like that occasionally. However, if it persists you may want to ask yourself about the following symptoms which come from the Mayo Clinic web site. DefinitionBy Mayo Clinic staff Subscribe to our Managing Depression e-newsletter to stay up to date on depression topics.Sign up now Teen depression is a serious condition that affects emotions, thought and behaviors. Although teen depression isn't medically different from depression in adults, teenagers often have unique challenges and symptoms. Issues such as peer pressure, academic expectations and changing bodies can bring a lot of ups and downs for teens. But, for some teens, the lows are more than just temporary feelings — they're a sign of depression. Also called major depression and major depressive disorder, teen depression isn't a weakness or something that can be overcome with willpower. Like depression in adults, teen depression is a medical condition that can have serious consequences. However, for most teens, teen depression symptoms ease with treatment such as medication and psychological counseling. Did the Mayo Clinic's info help you at all? You may also want to visit their depression blog, http://www.mayoclinic.com/health/depression-blog-break/MY02247 This blog gives you all kinds of advice and places to seek more information. I would like to suggest that for starters you may want to talk to your parents or a parent. If that is not feasible talk to your school counselor. You can also go on line and see if there is a NAMI near you. NAMI will know what is available in your community and will have compassion and excellent information if you have not found anyone in your circle who can help. If you are truly not just sad but depressed do something. You deserve the best.

There are n problems prepared for the next Codeforces round. They are arranged in ascending order by their difficulty, and no two problems have the same difficulty. Moreover, there are m pairs of similar problems. Authors want to split problems between two division according to the following rules: Your goal is count the number of ways to split problem between two divisions and satisfy all the rules. Two ways to split problems are considered to be different if there is at least one problem that belongs to division 1 in one of them and to division 2 in the other. Note, that the relation of similarity is not transitive. That is, if problem i is similar to problem j and problem j is similar to problem k, it doesn't follow that i is similar to k. The first line of the input contains two integers n and m (2 ≤ n ≤ 100 000, 0 ≤ m ≤ 100 000) — the number of problems prepared for the round and the number of pairs of similar problems, respectively. Each of the following m lines contains a pair of similar problems ui and vi (1 ≤ ui, vi ≤ n, ui ≠ vi). It's guaranteed, that no pair of problems meets twice in the input. Print one integer — the number of ways to split problems in two divisions. In the first sample, problems 1 and 2 should be used in division 2, while problems 4 and 5 in division 1. Problem 3 may be used either in division 1 or in division 2. In the second sample, all pairs of problems are similar and there is no way to split problem between two divisions without breaking any rules. Third sample reminds you that the similarity relation is not transitive. Problem 3 is similar to both 1 and 2, but 1 is not similar to 2, so they may be used together.

During the early 1700’s, an eight-year-old girl named Sarah, accompanies her father into the wilderness to build a house. Although many times she was frightened and wanted to be anyplace else than where she was, she kept her courage. About the Author: Alice Dalgliesh (1893 – 1979) was am educator, book reviewer, and author. She taught elementary school for 17 years and taught children’s literature at Columbia University. She wrote more than 40 books for children, several of which were Newberry Honor books. Suggested Discussion Questions and Activities: 1. Do you think it was a good idea for Sarah to accompany her father on such a trip? Why or why not? 2. How might Sarah’s life have been different if she hadn’t gone into the wilderness with her father? 3. What was the most courageous think Sarah did? 4. What do you think would have happened to Sarah if something had happened to her father when he left her with the Indians and went back to get the rest of the family. 5. What did Sarah’s father mean when he said, “To be afraid and to be brave is the best courage of all?” 6. Look up the word “courage” in the dictionary and write the definition in your best handwriting and decorate the page with illustrations of what you think courage is. 7. Sarah went into the forest to cook for her father.

It’s a sickening feeling — the dizziness, nausea and vomiting that comes with motion sickness. People have tried wristbands or taken anti-nausea drugs to prevent it, but often, nothing works. Scientists at Imperial College London are working on a new device to counteract motion sickness, which occurs when the motion you sense with your inner ear is different from the one you visualize. “You imagine being on a bicycle or motorbike. You go around the corner, you lean into the corner, which remains perfectly upright in physics,” said Michael Gresty, a motion sickness expert. But, he noted, “you don’t do that in a car. You don’t do that on a ship. You’re actually struggling to find out what is upright, and what’s the best way of dealing with it.” The researchers said the device stops motion sickness by suppressing certain signals in the brain. In the research, conducted in a hospital laboratory, volunteers sat in a motorized, tilting chair for about 10 minutes, experiencing the motions that make people ill. Then a mild electrical current sent through electrodes on the volunteers’ scalp caused the brain to suppress signals that affect the inner ear. "We found that it took longer for the individual to develop motion sickness, and that they also recovered faster," researcher Qadeer Arshad said. And there are no reported side effects. “These are very small amounts of electricity that you’re putting through the brain,” Gresty said. The next step is to test the device outside the laboratory. The scientists hope a device that plugs into a smartphone and attaches to the scalp will be available within 10 years, saving a lot of people from the misery of motion sickness.

Cryptography is the art and science of designing encryption algorithms for the purpose of providing private and authenticated communication. Once a sub-field of military communications, cryptography has gone mainstream since 1976 with the invention of public-key cryptography which allows two parties who previously have never met to establish a secure channel between them. Techniques, mechanisms, and tools of cryptography are used today for network security, digital signatures, and privacy in computer systems ranging from tiny RFID tags to large servers. This is a project-oriented course, to explore cryptographic methods and algorithms such as secret-key and public-key encryption algorithms, hash functions, digital signatures, deterministic and true random number generators. We are particularly interested in actual software and hardware realizations of cryptosystems and their secure implementations, rather than idealized, mathematical proofs of security. Students taking this course will form small teams to work on their selected projects, while following the lectures given by the Instructor and at the same time scrutinizing the projects of other teams.

Last week, we have discussed the second part of our Paper Folding series, a fold that extracts the cube root of any number. In this post, we are going to discuss its proof, but before that, let’s recall how to do the paper fold. Paper Folding Instructions - Get a rectangular piece of paper and fold it in the middle, horizontally and vertically, and let the creases (see green segments in the applet) represent the coordinate axes. - Let M denote (0,1) and let R denote (-r,0). - Make a single fold that places M on y = -1 and R on x=r. - The x-intercept of the fold is . [iframe http://mathandmultimedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/07/paperfoldcuberoot.html 565 432] Theorem: Prove that if M on and is on , the intersection of the fold and the x-axis is at . One possible fold satisfying the conditions above is shown in the figure below. Checking the Hint check box reveals three triangles: MNO, POR, and PON. Equating the first and second ratios, we have which means that . Also, equating ratios 1 and 3, we have which results to . This means that giving us . But the length of , therefore and we are done with our proof.

News: a tiny robotic insect that hovers in the air like a fly has been built by scientists at Harvard University (+ movies). The robot, which weighs just 80 milligrams and is the size of a small coin, can hover in the air for up to 20 seconds. Its Harvard University developers modelled the robot's movement on real flies, which flap their wings around 120 times per second. The researchers made the wings with piezoelectric material, which contracts when a small electrical charge is passed through it. Switching the voltage on and off at high speeds produces a rapid contracting effect that mimics the movement of a fly's tiny wing muscles. For now, the robots have to be tethered to thin copper wires that provide electric power and navigation information, but the researchers hope that a battery will one day be lightweight enough to be attached to the robot itself. The team suggests the robots could be used for search-and-rescue operations, monitoring environmental damage, tracing chemicals or pollinating crops, while their discreet size could also make them suitable for military surveillance. The RoboBee project was reported in the journal Science this week by Dr Robert Wood and his team at Harvard's Wyss Institute for Biologically Inspired Engineering at Harvard. Last year we reported on robot helicopters programmed to lift and stack polystyrene bricks into a six metre-high tower, while other machines we've featured include a duo of robotic bartenders and a robotic 3D printer that builds architecture from sand – see all robots. Photographs are by Kevin Ma and Pakpong Chirarattananon.

She was crowned Queen of Castille on December 13, 1474, and lived much of her life under duress of severe struggles for power within the State. Nevertheless, she conquered kings and unified her beloved country under the holy sign of Christianity. She helped Christopher Columbus undertake the greatest voyage of history and therefore is perhaps better known for her benevolent sponsorship of the discoveries of the new world where Christianity was yet unknown. A brave and virtuous woman, in addition to adversity resulting from the shifting centers of power in the fifteenth century Europe, Isabel also had to contend with her own personal tragedy, losing prematurely many of the persons closest to her, including a son and a daughter. Her preservation of Christianity is emulated through the Daughters of Isabella, who seek to promote the welfare of the community and to follow, in mutually supportive ways, the teachings and rules of the Catholic Church.

Planning ahead can help make this Halloween a fire-safe one. Taking simple fire safety precautions, like making sure fabrics for costumes and decorative materials are flame-resistant, can prevent fires. Facts & Figures* Facts & Figures* - Decorations for special events accounted for an annual average of 1,000 home fires, most often involving candles, and causing 2 civilian deaths and $6.4 million in direct property damage per year from 1993-1997. - More than 100 people die each year as a result of their clothing becoming ignited. - Purchase only costumes, wigs and props labeled flame-resistant or flame-retardant. When creating a costume, choose material that won't easily ignite if it comes in contact with heat or flame. Avoid billowing or long trailing features. - Dried flowers, cornstalks and crepe paper are highly flammable. Keep these and other decorations well away from all open flames and heat sources, including light bulbs, heaters, etc. - Use extreme caution when decorating with candles, and supervise children at all times when candles are lit. When lighting candles inside Jack-O-Lanterns, use long, fireplace-style matches and be sure to place lit pumpkins well away from all combustible items. Pumpkins can also be illuminated with small, inexpensive flashlights. - Remember to keep exits clear of decorations, ensuring nothing blocks escape routes. - Use flashlights as alternatives to candles or torch lights when decorating walkways and yards. They are much safer for trick-or-treaters, whose costumes may brush against the lighting. Instruct children to stay away from open flames or other heat sources. Be sure children know how to stop, drop and roll in the event their clothing catches fire. - Stop immediately - Drop to the ground - Covering your face with your hands - Roll over and over to extinguish flames - Instruct children who are attending parties at others' homes to locate the exits and plan how they would get out in an emergency.

Colorado has its first two presumptive positive cases of the Coronavirus (COVID-19) — a new strain of the coronavirus that’s spread across the globe. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the immediate health risk from the novel COVID-19 — a respiratory disease — is considered low. While there is no vaccine for prevention, many questions and false information surround the new virus first detected in China. Here are some preventative tips and measures from the CDC: • Wash your hands with soap and water for at least 20 seconds before eating and after blowing your nose/coughing/sneezing/using the bathroom. If soap and water are unavailable, disinfect using an alcohol-based hand sanitizer with at least 60% alcohol • Don’t touch your face — be especially cognizant to avoid touching your eyes, nose and mouth • Clean and disinfect surfaces and frequently touched objects with a cleaning spray or wipe • COVID-19 has three main symptoms — fever, cough, shortness of breath; seek medical treatment immediately to help relieve symptoms • Stay home if you’re sick. Cover cough and sneezes with a tissue and throw it away immediately. Cough or sneeze into your shirt or sleeve — not your hands • What about facemasks? Not for prevention, but should be used with symptoms of COVID-19 to help prevent spreading the disease. • Get a flu shot, if you haven’t already BACKGROUND, SOURCE & SPREAD OF VIRUS: Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) Situation Summary WORLD HEALTH ORGANIZATION: Coronavirus

Electricity is a source of energy which is needed to support daily activities. High electricity-consumption will cause electricity crisis if not managed properly. One of usage which consumes electricity is Public Street lighting (PSL). Currently, Public Street lighting uses fossil fuel to generate electricity. Although fossil fuel is known cheap and mostly used to generate energy, it is nonrenewable and not environment friendly caused by carbon dioxide as an excess by ignition. Due to environmentally friendly, solar power can be used as an alternative to generate electricity and unused power can be stored to lithium battery. However, thoroughly technical and economic analysis must be conducted before mass deployment of solar energy is implemented. To assess the feasibility of technical and financial aspect, this paper proposes economics analysis in order to determine the feasibility of solar power investment. The feasibility study comprise of comparing the cost of conventional and solar-powered PSL with 25 years projection, calculating net present value (NPV) and benefit-cost ratio. The results show solar-powered PSL is economically feasible. Public street lights are known as essential equipment to support human activities at night. However, Traditional Public Street Lights need large amount of electric power generated by fossil so that it can cause energy crisis. Hence, it is important to implement Solar Street Lights that uses alternative source of energy such as solar energy. It is also known that solar energy is environmental friendly. In addition, tropical countries have potential for the development of Solar Street Lights because sun emits the region almost all year. Public Solar Street Lights has several advantages compare with conventional traditional street lights such as easy to install, work independently and automatically, can be used for 12 hours per day, not using electric power, longer life cycle, and environmentally friendly based on technical analysis. Public Solar Street Lights uses lithium battery as the depository of electrical energy to prevent stolen because it is difficult to detach it from Public Solar Street Lights It is also environmental friendly and having longer life time. The most important is Public Solar Street Lights uses solar energy as to support the environmentally friendly and energy savings movement promoted by government. From calculation of several criteria such as NPV and B/C ratio using 25 years projection, investment of PSLS is feasible and worth to be implemented. It is also 97% cheaper than fossil fuel PSL.

In the past, the idea of ‘putting the garden to bed’ for winter meant cutting everything down, pulling out all the annuals, raking every leaf and disposing of them off-site, spreading a load of compost on the beds and labouring to work it into the earth. Too much work! Here’s an environmentally friendly alternative: wait until April and leave almost everything standing. Here are reasons to do so. - Insects need a place to overwinter. Solitary pollinators can hide inside a hollow stem or under a piece of bark. Eggs and larvae may spend winter in the earth. Butterfly chrysalises can be tucked inside a leaf or seed pod. Lady bugs overwinter in groups under rocks, in leaf litter or at the base of plants. Predatory insects such as lacewings, assassin bugs and damsel bugs will emerge in spring to munch pests, if they have not been disturbed. - Plant seeds provide winter food for birds. - If your garden is left intact, there will be more insects to feed the returning birds in spring. - Healthy soil has a rich ecosystem of micro-organisms in complex balance. These are vital for good soil and hence good plant health. Tilling, digging and pulling up plants destroy this system and break up the air and water passages formed by worms and other soil life. - Plants which are left standing will gather snow. This protects roots of perennials and adds moisture to the earth. - Your garden can offer a home to toads, and spiders both of whom are ‘good guys’ in the fight against pests. You will need to remove and cut back diseased plants, cut off the mushy leaves of soft plants like hosta and rake leaves from your lawn. Put them in the beds or compost them. Spread compost on top of your beds, around standing plants and shrubs. The weather, worms and microbes will do the hard work of moving it down into the earth. Enjoy your garden!

A fracture involves a partial or total crack through a bone. The break in a bone usually occurs as a result of an impact injury, such as a fall or blow to the shoulder. A fracture usually involves the clavicle or the neck (area below the ball) of the humerus. A shoulder fracture that occurs after a major injury is usually accompanied by severe pain. Within a short time, there may be redness and bruising around the area. Sometimes a fracture is obvious because the bones appear out of position. Both diagnosis and severity can be confirmed by x-rays. When a fracture occurs, the doctor tries to bring the bones into a position that will promote healing and restore arm movement. If the clavicle is fractured, the patient must at first wear a strap and sling around the chest to keep the clavicle in place. After removing the strap and sling, the doctor will prescribe exercises to strengthen the shoulder and restore movement. Surgery is occasionally needed for certain clavicle fractures. Fracture of the neck of the humerus is usually treated with a sling or shoulder immobilizer. If the bones are out of position, surgery may be necessary to reset them. Exercises are also part of restoring shoulder strength and motion.

Climate & High Impact Weather Science Highlights Extreme windstorms can have huge socioeconomic impacts. The strong winds associated with extreme windstorms can lead to substantial loss of life and damage to national infrastructure like roads and powerlines. The National Centre for Atmospheric Science is leading substantial research activity into understanding extreme windstorms and their impacts, including international observational campaigns, high-resolution computer models, and risk management for insurance, oil and gas companies. Our scientists have led and contributed to international field campaigns looking at how extreme windstorms develop. During the DIAMET campaign, the FAAM aircraft made the first aircraft observations of a Sting Jet, an area of extremely strong winds embedded within Storm Friedhelm. This intense storm left 150,000 Scottish homes without power in 2011. In partnership with the Met Office, the NCAS high-resolution modelling programme has been leading the development of high-resolution global climate models to better understand how extreme weather might respond to climate change. Using these models will allow scientists to more robustly address questions such as how will extreme windstorms and processes such as Sting Jets change in a warmer climate? Our investigations into extreme windstorms is being applied in industry to improve assessments of windstorm risk. We have been working with companies such as BP to understand the risks and improve the resilience of offshore infrastructure in the North Sea. Through collaboration with partners such as AON Benfield, NCAS has been improving our understanding of how windstorms cluster in time, which can lead to substantially increased insurance risks.

The Normandy landings, codenamed Operation Neptune, were the landing operations of the Allied invasion of Normandy, in Operation Overlord, during World War II. According to the National D-Day Memorial, Overlord was the largest air, land, and sea operation undertaken before or since June 6, 1944. The landing included over 5,000 ships, 13,000 airplanes, and over 160,000 service men. After years of meticulous planning and seemingly endless training, for the Allied Forces, it all came down to this: The boat ramp goes down, then jump, swim, run, and crawl to the cliffs. Many of the first young men (most not yet 20 years old) entered the surf carrying eighty pounds of equipment. They faced over 200 yards of beach before reaching the first natural feature offering any protection. Blanketed by small-arms fire and bracketed by artillery, they found themselves in hell. D-Day: The Normandy Invasion. Army Air Corps photographers documented D-Day beach traffic, as photographed from a Ninth Air Force bomber on June 6, 1944. Note vehicle lanes leading away from the landing areas, and landing craft left aground by the tide. On June 6, 1944, 150,000 Allied troops landed along a 50-mile stretch of heavily-fortified French coastline to fight Nazi Germany on the beaches of Normandy, France. More than 5,000 ships and 13,000 aircraft supported the invasion, and by day’s end, the Allies gained a foot-hold in France. The D-Day cost was high with more than 9,000 Allied soldiers killed or wounded as the march across Europe to defeat Hitler began. Please remember all those who sacrificed so much for our freedoms.

In most areas of Australia, mammals constitute the staple diets of cats, foxes and dingoes. In central Australia the abundance of mammals is often too low to meet the dietary requirements of these carnivores and yet populations of cats, foxes and dingoes persist. To investigate alternative feeding strategies of cats, foxes and dingoes in arid environments, their diets were monitored in relation to prey availability in two areas of the Tanami Desert where rabbits do not occur. Dietary information was obtained by analysing predator scats collected between 1995 and 1997. Prey availability was monitored by track counts, pitfall trapping, Elliott trapping, and bird counts along walked transects. In contrast to dietary studies elsewhere in Australia, it was found that reptiles were an important component of the diets of predators in the Tanami Desert, and should be classified as seasonal staples. Birds increased in importance in the diets of cats and foxes during the winter, when reptiles were less active. There was considerable overlap between the diets of all three predators, although dingoes ate more large prey items (e.g. macropods) than the other two predators. Results highlight the opportunistic feeding habits of cats, foxes and dingoes and show that, although mammalian prey are less important in central Australia than has been found elsewhere, species that are vulnerable to extinction, such as the bilby (Macrotis lagotis), mulgara (Dasycercus cristicauda) and marsupial mole (Notoryctes typhlops), are also consumed by these predators. |Secondary title||Wildlife Research|

The difference between steam and water vapor is that water vapor is typically the same temperature as the air that is present while steam is above the boiling point of water. The chemical composition of water and steam are identical. The main difference is in how vapor and steam are actually produced and where one or the other exists. Water vapor makes up a large component of Earth's atmosphere and is present as a greenhouse gas and can be found anywhere where water reaches the temperature of the surrounding air. Steam is technically invisible and is created wherever water is found boiling. The boiling point of water is lower at higher altitudes, but is an average of 212 degrees Fahrenheit at lower elevations.

National Income is that income which is generated by the resident of the country within the domestic territory or outside the domestic territory. So it is not necessary where the income is being generated. Only we have to look at "who” is generating the income. This is different from domestic Income in which we look at “where” the income is generated Let us understand the difference between Domestic Income and National Income with the table below : Let us understand this with some examples Income generated by a branch of State bank of India (SBI) in the USA. Now SBI is resident of India (remember resident also applies to institution). But the USA is outside domestic territory So this income is included in National Income and not included in Domestic Income because it is generated by a resident outside the domestic territory Now suppose Microsoft earned profits from its Indian branch in New Delhi Microsoft is non resident of India and Delhi is within the domestic territory of India So it is included in Domestic Income and not included in National Income Lets take another example. Reliance earned profits from “Reliance Mart” in New Delhi Now Reliance is a resident of India and New delhi is within the dconomic territory of India So it is included both in National Income and Domestic Income Now there are 3 methods to calculate National Income . A lot of related (and somewhat twisted) questions can come in the civil services exam and so it is important to understand the concepts behind the formula rather than memorizing them. There are 3 methods to calculate National Income : Value added method

ESO's dark matter survey begins shedding light on the structure of the Universe The European Southern Observatory (ESO) has released the first results of an infrared and visible light southern sky survey that aims to shed light on the most abundant and elusive substance in the Universe – dark matter. Forming part of the Kilo-Degree Survey (KiDS), the results represent just seven percent of the entire project. While it's thought that 85 percent of the matter in the Universe is dark, we know very little about it. It doesn't reflect or absorb light, and can only be studied via its effect on the objects around it – through its gravitational pull on stars and galaxies. The KiDS survey aims to provide scientists with a better understanding of the relationship between the observable universe and dark matter, and how it affects the accelerated expansion of the Universe. It makes use of visible light instruments on the Very Large Telescope (VLT) and infrared measurements from the VISTA survey telescope, both of which are located at ESO's Paranal Observatory in Chile. Astronomers are making use of gravitational lensing to work out where the dark matter lies. These cosmic lenses are seen when large deposits of matter sit between Earth and the target of an observation. The gravity of the foreground matter acts as a gigantic magnifying glass, allowing astronomers to study the distant target in greater detail than would otherwise be possible. Closely studying this effect allows astronomers to pinpoint where gravity is strongest, which in turn allows them to work out where the matter (both observable and dark) lies. The first batch of results from the survey include the analysis of more than two million galaxies, at an average distance of 5.5 billion light-years. While this only represents seven percent of the survey area, the results are already promising. By studying the gravitational distortion of emitted light, the team was able to determine that the observed groupings of galaxies contain some 30 times more dark matter than visible matter. Ultimately, the results of the survey will have a big impact on our understanding of the makeup of theUniverse, including the formation of galaxies. Of course, these are just the first set of results, with scientists yet to sift through the bulk of the immense datasets being produced by the survey.

Strangles is a disease of the lymph nodes of the upper respiratory tract in horses. It is endemic within the horse population of the UK. Affected horses typically have a high temperature, cough, poor appetite, nasal discharge and swollen or abscessed lymph nodes of the head which can appear as open sores. The disease may become fatal if the bacteria spread to other parts of the body or the respiratory tract is blocked by swollen lymph nodes (hence the term ‘Strangles’). However, in some horses, a nasal discharge without swelling of the glands is all that can be seen. Direct contact between infected horses is the most obvious means of transmitting the infection but the hands and equipment of staff, vets or farriers can spread it indirectly. The bacteria are discharged from draining abscesses and the nose, and may survive the environment, particularly in water troughs. The incubation period is usually around 1 week but can be longer. A small proportion of horses that have recovered become persistently infected for months or even years. They are less susceptible to reinfection but can intermittently spread the disease to other horses. Veterinary advice should be sought to determine whether the vaccine is available and whether its use may be appropriate on the basis of specific risk assessment. When away from home, maintain good hygiene, avoid sharing equipment and drinking troughs and avoid direct contact between horses. Ideally, all horses entering any premises should be quarantined for a period of at least 2 weeks and monitored closely, particularly in the period immediately after arrival. Any horse that develops a nasal discharge or other signs of Strangles should be isolated and tested.. The Strangles blood test can be used to identify horses that been exposed to this disease in the recent past. Call your vet immediately to reduce risk of further spread. Strangles is diagnosed either directly by detection of the bacteria, or indirectly by detection of rising levels of antibodies against the bacteria in blood samples. All infected horses should remain in strict isolation, under the direction of a vet and with the highest possible standards of hygiene. Regular disinfection of water troughs should be performed in order to minimise the risk of spread. Horses should not enter affected premises unless they can be kept in strict isolation from all possible sources of infection. No infected or in-contact animal should be released from isolation or veterinary supervision until they have been tested negative for the disease.

This year the theme for World Health Day is Diabetes. Set up by the World Health Organisation (WHO) – World Health Day focusses on an area of global public health concern. World Health Day 2016: Key messages WHO is focusing on diabetes because: - The diabetes epidemic is rapidly increasing in many countries, with the documented increase most dramatic in low- and middle-income countries. - A large proportion of diabetes cases are preventable. Simple lifestyle measures have been shown to be effective in preventing or delaying the onset of type 2 diabetes. Maintaining normal body weight, engaging in regular physical activity, and eating a healthy diet can reduce the risk of diabetes. - Type 2 diabetes is treatable. It can be controlled and managed to prevent complications. Increasing access to diagnosis, self-management education and affordable treatment are vital components of the response. - Efforts to prevent and treat diabetes will be important to achieve the global Sustainable Development Goal 3 target of reducing premature mortality from noncommunicable diseases (NCDs) by one-third by 2030. Many sectors of society have a role to play, including governments, employers, educators, manufacturers, civil society, private sector, the media and individuals themselves. The main goals of the World Health Day 2016 campaign will be to: - Increase awareness about the rise in diabetes, and its staggering burden and consequences, in particular in low-and middle-income countries; - Trigger a set of specific, effective and affordable actions to tackle diabetes. These will include steps to prevent diabetes and diagnose, treat and care for people with diabetes; and - Launch the first Global report on diabetes, which will describe the burden and consequences of diabetes and advocate for stronger health systems to ensure improved surveillance, enhanced prevention, and more effective management of diabetes For more information about World Health Day see the WHO website: http://bit.ly/1RbVsEf

Fish stocks are moving away from warmer waters and crossing national boundaries which is disrupting the world’s system for allocating fish. Researchers focused on 892 fish stocks around the world and noticed they were moving closer to the poles. They suggested that the warmer waters from climate change were the driving force behind the relocation of fish stocks. If greenhouse gas emissions continue to rise as they are today, then 70 or more countries will have completely new fish stocks by 2100. Fish will move to their preferred habitat, so political boundaries mean nothing to them. As for humans, this means there needs to be updated management of fish stocks; therefore treaties can fairly be made and agreed upon. Countries have disputed over fish stocks in the past. In the 1980s and 1990s, Canada and the United States argued over salmon stocks after they migrated north to colder waters. The dispute lasted six years before the countries entered a new joint management agreement. The current fish boundaries are set up with the idea that these fish stocks generally stay in their current environment. However, scientists are noticing that climate change is warming the waters to a point where fish are no longer staying in those pre-dispositioned areas. Governments should tackle the problem before worldwide disputes begin to take place.

The map shows the population change by component 2010-2019. The map is related to the same map showing regional and municipal patterns in population change by component in 2020. Regions are divided into six classes of population change. Those in shades of blue or green are where the population has increased, and those in shades of red or yellow are where the population has declined. At the regional level (see small inset map), all in Denmark, all in the Faroes, most in southern Norway, southern Sweden, all but one in Iceland, all of Greenland, and a few around the capital in Helsinki had population increases in 2010-2019. Most regions in the north of Norway, Sweden, and Finland had population declines in 2010-2019. Many other regions in southern and eastern Finland also had population declines in 2010-2019, mainly because the country had more deaths than births, a trend that pre-dated the pandemic. In 2020, there were many more regions in red where populations were declining due to both natural decrease and net out-migration. At the municipal level, a more varied pattern emerges, with municipalities having quite different trends than the regions of which they form part. Many regions in western Denmark are declining because of negative natural change and outmigration. Many smaller municipalities in Norway and Sweden saw population decline from both negative natural increase and out-migration despite their regions increasing their populations. Many smaller municipalities in Finland outside the three big cities of Helsinki, Turku, and Tampere also saw population decline from both components. A similar pattern took place at the municipal level in 2020 of there being many more regions in red than in the previous decade.

Language surrounding poverty in early modern England: Constructing seventeenth-century beggars and vagrants. This briefing concentrates upon attitudes towards a subset of poor people – a group who might today be termed beggars or vagrants. Seventeenth century vagrants were a marginalised group: they were overwhelmingly illiterate and politically powerless. By undertaking a study of them, we hope to improve our understanding of a people who were effectively voiceless in their own time. On a practical level, it is important to understand changing discourses on the poor because legislative change was influenced by changing public perceptions of poverty. New resources are being added regularly to the new CASS: Briefings tab above, so check back soon.

Some people are fortunate enough to learn spellings very easily. For others (and I include myself among their number) this is a constant area of struggle and one which impedes progress across the curriculum for many children. While it’s true that poor spelling will make it harder to meet A.R.E. in writing, as things stand children are allowed to use dictionaries and work with peers to check spellings in their (assessed) written work. Nonetheless, some children will not meet A.R.E. in writing SATs because of their spelling. Additionally, there is no guarantee that permitted use of dictionaries and/or peer assessment on assessed pieces will continue. This focus in sessions is not about a list of words to learn and forget: it’s about a structured approach of accelerated learning to learn (and over-learn) spelling rules while ensuring that high-frequency words are mastered. Spelling is tough if it doesn’t come naturally. This is a course ideally started in Year 5, but suitable for any age. It will help with all SATs work, but is not specifically aimed at these tests. It will include:

Why Does Breast Cancer Happen - 10 months ago - 0 Comments Reasons for Breast Cancer: Breast cancer occurs when cells in the breast tissue divide and grow uncontrollably, forming a tumour. The tumour can then invade surrounding tissue and potentially spread to other parts of the body through the bloodstream or lymph system. The exact cause of breast cancer is not fully understood, but a combination of genetic, environmental, and lifestyle factors likely play a role. Some known risk factors for breast cancer include: - Age: The risk of breast cancer increases as a woman gets older. - Gender: Women are at a higher risk of developing breast cancer than men. - Family history: Women with a family history of breast cancer or certain genetic mutations, such as BRCA1 and BRCA2, have a higher risk of developing the disease. - Personal history: Women who have had breast cancer in one breast have a higher risk of developing cancer in the other breast. - Reproductive and hormonal factors: Women who began menstruation at a young age, went through menopause later in life or never had children have a higher risk of breast cancer. - Lifestyle factors: Certain lifestyle factors, such as alcohol consumption, being overweight or obese, lack of physical activity and exposure to certain environmental toxins, may increase the risk of breast cancer. It's important to note that the presence of one or more risk factors does not necessarily mean that a woman will develop breast cancer. Breast cancer is a complex disease, and many different factors are likely to be involved in its development. Additionally, many women who develop breast cancer have no known risk factors.

Plan Lessons Using Levels Topics Using Levels Topics Topics allow you to group objectives by subject - like trailer safety, or jumping skills, or hoof care. Scroll down to see the topics we use to help you find teaching materials for efficient, effective lessons – updated to incorporate topics for the Western and HorseCentered curriculums! We usually teach topics progressively For example, the Feeding and Nutrition topic starts out with safely feeding treats in Rainbow Level. We introduce basic feeding rules in Red Level, then explain more advanced nutrition concepts in Yellow and Orange Levels. All of this builds towards the Teal Level student’s ability to balance rations. Dividing that topic into small objectives creates achievable goals for students, so we spread objectives for most topics over several Levels. It also makes it easier for you to teach that topic in short, memorable lessons. But sometimes you want to teach more in-depth lessons, covering several objectives at once Using topics to plan lessons gives you the flexibility to teach it YOUR way, whenever and however it works best for you. Learning Levels Topics - TAP EACH BOX FOR DETAILS - Catching horse in stall and pasture; correct leading technique; jogging out for soundness; unmounted training techniques, including longeing and maneuvering horse on ground; process of starting and backing a young horse. All horsemanship over fences, including ground poles, two-point position, coursework, gymnastic grids, setting distances and designing courses, including ground pole exercises for English and Western disciplines. Safe riding attire; general rules for safe riding; warming up and cooling out; mounted emergency skills; appropriate riding plans with consideration of footing, weather and fitness; trail riding safety; heat-related and concussion protocols. When to call vet; equine first aid kit; measuring for height and weight; routine health care schedules and techniques; TPR; sheath and udder cleaning; vaccinations and related diseases; medications; common illnesses and treatments.

Researchers have shown a way to stimulate new dentin growth following infection or trauma involving the use of stem cells contained in a tooth’s pulp. A new method of stimulating natural tooth repair is under investigation by scientists at King’s College, London. If further testing proves successful, this new treatment method could transform the way dental treatments for large cavities are performed. In an article published in Scientific Reports, researchers showed a way to stimulate new dentin growth following infection or trauma involving the use of stem cells contained in a tooth’s pulp. The stem cells were used to help repair damage from large cavities, which are typically treated using man-made cements or fillings. Stimulation of the stem cells was catalyzed through the use of Tideglusib, a medication that has been used in clinical trials to treat neurological disorders like Alzheimer’s disease. The research team applied low doses of the drug to teeth through the use of a biodegradable collagen sponge. Over time, the sponge degraded and was replaced by new dentin. For the teeth involved in the study, complete, natural repair was achieved. The scientists noted that this method of repairing teeth was simple and fast, and it could lead to a new approach in tooth restoration. Lead author of the study, Professor Paul Sharpe, said, “The simplicity of our approach makes it ideal as a clinical dental product for the natural treatment of large cavities, by providing both pulp protection and restoring dentin. In addition, using a drug that has already been tested in clinical trials for Alzheimer's disease provides a real opportunity to get this dental treatment quickly into clinics.” In healthy individuals, a thin band of dentin is naturally produced in response to injury in order to seal the tooth pulp. However, the dentin band cannot effectively repair large holes in teeth that might be the result of trauma or severe infection. The use of contemporary therapeutic interventions, like cements, means that larger cavities and holes in teeth are never fully restored because the mineral level of the tooth cannot be returned to pre-injury levels. Further, fillings occasionally fail and infections spread, and dentists have to perform additional work to fill in an area that is larger than the original problem. Ultimately, the tooth might have to be extracted.

Mind mapping is a great way to brainstorm, make a plan, or turn ideas into the steps needed to make it real. Thankfully, there are great tools out there to help you build mind maps, organize them, and save them for later. The world of ed-tech is moving rapidly. As new learning software is created, the word “adaptive” is increasingly being used in claims describing how technologies personalize and individualize learning for each student. As I noted above, the idea of the “flipped classroom” wasn’t new to 2012. Nor was it something devised by Khan Academy or TED. Video-taped lectures assigned as homework can be traced back to Colorado math teacher Karl Fisch who had his work popularized in turn by a story in 2010 by Daniel Pink who called the practice “flip thinking” or the “Fisch flip.” But well before that, many other educators were thinking about ways they could “flip” or reverse instruction: chemistry teachers Jonathan Bergmann and Aaron Sams recorded their lessons circa 2007. And in the 1990s, let’s not forget, Harvard professor Eric Mazur pioneered the idea of peer instruction in order to alter his own teaching practices away from heavy reliance on lecturing. 12 Principles Of Mobile Learning...Another from TeachThought, which is becoming a real go-to site for direct ideas. This one is one mobile learning, and what learning looks like and what if can afford.

I need help with this question? can anybody tell me how to start? I wrote the first thing but then I couldn't proceed.. using namespace std; cout << "Please enter the word that you want to encode" << endl; cin >> wordToEncode In cryptography, Caesar cipher is one of the simplest encryption techniques. The key idea of this method is to replace each plaintext letter with one fixed number of places down the alphabet. Below is an example with a shift of three: To cipher a string, ‘A’ is replaced by ‘D’, ‘B’ is substituted by ‘E’, and so on. To decode a string, ‘A’ is replaced by ‘x’, etc. By using the Caesar cipher with a shift of three, write a program that first ask user to input a word (such as Student). Then, your code will print out the encoded word for the input (i.e., Vwxghqw for Student. Next, your code asks users to input a ciphered code (such as Vwxghqw), and a decoded word will be finally printed out. Test your program with a word: “Student”. Demonstrate the encoded word and the deciphering of the encoded word. Hint: the length of a char array can be determined by a built-in function: strlen(char_array_name), which returns an integer that is the length of the char array.

Students can have fun making these Pumpkin and Jack-O'-Lantern ANALOG CLOCKS when they are learning to TELL TIME and also when they are learning about ELAPSED TIME. Materials to make a Pumpkin Clock - orange paper plate or white plate and orange paint (plus paint brush) - number foam stickers (found at Dollar or Craft stores) - paper fastener - foam or cardboard to make clock hands - green construction paper for the stem - glue/glue stick Directions (with adult supervision) - If the paper plate is white, paint it orange and let it dry. - Place the number stickers around the edges of the plate in the appropriate positions. - Draw and cut 2 heavy paper or foam hands for the clock. - Carefully insert a paper fastener through the clock hands then through the center of the paper plate. - Draw and cut a green stem and glue it to the top of the plate. Perhaps the kids might like to put some spiders on their clocks They could use some scary spider stickers!!! EEK!! Have fun learning about TIME!

Huff et al. (2010) analyzed genome variation of two samples, focusing on the SNPs around the mobile element insertion areas. The theory behind this project is that mobile element insertions (Alu and LINE1) are much rarer, so they have deep genealogies (ancient coalescent time). Their research basically supports this theoretical point. First, TMRCA estimated based on 9,609 SNPs in the 10 kb around insertion was 462 k years old, which is older than the TMRCA estimated from other genomic regions. Second, more interestingly, they estimated significantly larger ancient effective population size than modern effective population size. They used a coalescent-Maximum likelihood based method to estimate three demographic parameters. Modern effective population = 8,500 Ancient effective population = 18,500 (C.I. 14,500-26,000) Time of population size change = 1.2 M years This means that effective population size before 1.2 M years ago was 18,500. The small effective population size of modern human support many previous genetic studies, but it is interesting to see that modern human have genetic evidence that suggests that ancestors of modern human, such as Homo erectus, had much larger effective population size and they were much more genetically diverse than anatomically modern human. Since effective population size of modern humans is much smaller than Chimpanzee, it has been suggested that our ancestors experienced series of bottleneck, but this research data show the significant reduction in the population size occurred after 1.2 M years ago. Jorde actually said in the NIH Genome Center Lecture series that our ancestors almost became extinct.

On Oxford Dictionary we can read: baker's dozen: a group of thirteen (= one more than a dozen, which is late 16th century: from the former bakers' custom of adding an extra loaf to a dozen sold, this constituting the retailer's profit. More historical reasons are illustrated on Wikipedia with regard to "Worshipful Company of Bakers": The Worshipful Company of Bakers is one of the Livery Companies of the City of London. The Bakers' Guild is known to have existed in the twelfth century. From the Corporation of London, the Guild received the power to enforce regulations for baking, known as the Assize of Bread and Ale. The violations included selling short-weight bread and the addition of sand instead of flour. So that they could avoid punishment for inadvertently selling a short-weight bread, bakers added a thirteenth loaf to a dozen, giving rise to the term baker's dozen.) The Bread Assize remained in force until 1863, when Parliament repealed it.

Description: Adult African green pigeons have maroon patches on the top of their wings and the juveniles have an olive color. The upperparts are grayish-green to yellowish-green; the thighs are yellow; and the feet and bill are red with the bill having a white tip. Size: African green pigeons reach a length of 8.5- 11 inches (22-28 cm). Behavior: They are usually found in small groups, foraging in trees for fruit. Their green plumage is great camouflage. They are fast fliers. Diet: They mainly eat fruit, especially figs. Senses: Pigeons have good hearing and eyesight; sense of smell aids with navigation and finding preferred food. Communication: Their call is a series of flowing whistles. Reproduction: Nesting may take place in any month of the year, though mostly in the summer. The female builds the nest using material gathered by the male, consisting of a flat platform of twigs and leaves, typically placed in the fork of a tree. The female lays one to two eggs that hatch in about 13-14 days and then about 12 days after hatching, the chicks leave the nest. Habitat/range: African green pigeons have a wide range in Sub-Saharan Arica. They inhabit riparian forest, woodland and savanna, where they associate with fruiting trees. Status: Listed as Least Concern (LC) on the IUCN Red List.

The British halted near El Agheila to send troops and supplies to a new area of conflict - Greece. The Royal Navy attacked the Italian fleet at the battle of Cape Matapan on 28 March 1941, sinking three heavy cruisers. In February 1941 the British forced Italian troops out of British Somalia, Italian Somalia and Ethiopia. The Germans dispatched air and ground troops to the Mediterranean, and under Rommel, the Africa Corps was to fight for the Libyan and Egyptian coast with the British 8th Army. Under Rommel, German units started landing in Tripoltania in February 1941. On 31 March he attacked the depleted British and Imperial forces at Mersa Brega, and on 7 April parts of Rommel's force reached the coast road at Derna. Meanwhile, the 9th Australian Division moved into Tobruk and, reinforced from Egypt, prepared for a siege. On 13 April Rommel attacked the Tobruk perimeter but his advance was short of supplies and stalled along the Egyptian border. Greece was attacked by Italy with no success, and was then rapidly overrun by German forces. The British Expeditionary Force was forced out by German forces and had to leave all its equipment behind. By April 1941 the British were back on the Egyptian border, but in May Crete fell to a German airborne assault. In May 1941 a Royal Navy convoy reached Alexandria. This 'Tiger' convoy carried reinforcements for the desert campaign, including 220 tanks. Now recovered, the British mounted a small offensive called 'Battleaxe'. It was a costly failure and was called off after two days. The Germans controlled the dominant airfields, and with the losses of Cyrenaicia and Crete, the balance of power shifted in the Mediterranean. However, Malta held out as a base for Allied forces to attack the Axis forces' sea communications with North Africa. After 18 days of heavy and confused fighting between Tobruk and the Egyptian border, both sides were exhausted. The British, however, unlike Rommel, were receiving replacements and reinforcements, and on 6 December the Axis forces started to withdraw to the west to occupy a defensive line at Gazala. The combined German and Italian force at Gazala pulled back and at the start of January the Germans were back at El Agheila.

Compaired to broadcasts and Multicasts, a Unicast is very simple and one of the most common data transmissions in a network. This article explains what unicats are and how they are used within the Local Area Network to allow hosts to communication with each other. The Reason for Unicast Well it's pretty obvious why they came up with Unicasts, imagine trying to send data between 2 computers on a network, using broadcasts ! All you would get would be a very slow transfer and possibly a conjested network with low bandwidth availability. Data transfers are almost all of the times, unicasts. You have the sender e.g a webserver and the receiver e.g a workstation. Data is transfered between these two hosts only, where as a broadcast or a multicast is destined either everyone or just a group of computers. In example above, my workstation sends a request to the Windows 2000 Server. The request is a simple Unicast because it's directed to one machine (the server) and nothing else. You just need to keep in mind that because we are talking about a Ethernet network, the traffic, hence the packets, are seen by all machines (in this case the Linux Server aswell) but they will not process them once they see that the destination MAC address in the packets do not match their own and are also not set to FF:FF:FF:FF:FF:FF which would indicate that the packet is a broadcast

New scientific findings have developed heat conducting plastics. These plastics could lead to lighter, cheaper, more energy – efficient product components. It also includes the components used in vehicles, LEDs and computers which are good at dissipating heat. The latest technique is efficient in changing the plastic’s molecular structure in order to cast off heat. It is developed by a team of researchers in material science and mechanical engineering at University of Michigan. This new study is published in detail in Science Advances. It is also mentioned in the research that the process is inexpensive and scalable. The concept can be applied to a variety of other plastics as well. The preliminary test accounts for the making of a polymer which is thermally conductive as glass. It is also six times better at dissipating heat than the same polymer without any change. Jinsang Kim, U-M materials science and engineering professor, said that they are working to apply thermal engineering to plastics in a way which was not implemented before. By: Bhavna Sharma

The most famous of Einsteinís equations, E=mc2 says that energy (E) and mass (m) are equivalent. In other words, mass can be converted to energy and vice versa. The conversion factor is the speed of light (c) squared, an enormous number when you consider that the speed of light itself is a whopping 186,000 miles per second. This means that a small amount of matter can be transformed into a huge amount of energy. Thatís the secret of stars, where high temperatures and densities permit lighter atoms to fuse into heavier ones. Each heavy atom weighs less than the combined weight of the lighter atoms that formed it, and that difference in mass becomes the energy that keeps stars shining. The process also works in reverse: Energy can be transformed into mass. Cosmologists think thatís how the matter in the universe aroseóin the first second following the Big Bang, photons of incredible energy collided with one another, creating pairs of particles and antiparticles.

Ticks are parasites that feed on the animal and human blood. Ticks occur in humid, moist bushy areas. They are not very mobile but rely on passing animals to both feed on and transport them. Ticks are known to inject toxins that cause local irritation or mild irritation, however most tick bites cause little or no symptoms. Tick borne diseases, tick paralysis and severe allergic reactions can pose serious health threat. Tick-borne diseases occurring in Australia are Australian Tick Typhus or 'Spotted Fever' (along the coastal strip of eastern Australia from North Queensland to Victoria) and 'Flinders Island Spotted Fever' (in Victoria, Tasmania and Flinders Island in Bass Strait). Early symptoms of tick paralysis can include rashes, headache, fever, flu like symptoms, tenderness of lymph nodes, unsteady gait, intolerance to bright light, increased weakness of the limbs and partial facial paralysis. As the tick engorges on more human blood the tick paralysis symptoms may intensify including after the tick has been removed. Clinical diagnosis is confirmed by specific blood tests. Tick typhus is treatable with antibiotics, although fatalities have been known to occur. In some susceptible people tick bite may cause a severe allergic reaction or anaphylactic shock, which can be life threatening. If swelling of the face and throat causes breathing difficulties, seek urgent medical attention.

Creating Algebraically Review Stations Lesson 9 of 10 Objective: SWBAT demonstrate understanding of creating algebraically by successfully completing the review. Set the Stage I have my students rotating through stations to review today. To do this, I have them number off by fours and then assign a one, two three and four to each station. I explain that the ones will always rotate one to the left, the twos will rotate two to the left, the threes will rotate one to the right and the fours will rotate two to the right. It sounds confusing at first, but most kids pick it up pretty quickly and they enjoy the shuffling. They work at each station for about 8-9 minutes then rotate to another station. Because they don't all rotate the same way each time, they get to work with different people at each station. (MP1, MP2, MP4) While they're working I walk around offering encouragement and redirection as needed. My review video explains why I chose this review style for this unit. Put it into Action You will need copies of the Review Stations handouts and yesterday's student-created games for this review. My students are working in teams and rotating through five different activitie (stations) today to review the unit material. (MP1, MP2, MP4, MP6)Each station covers different content and/or skills and also uses different math practices. Station #1 has students creating equations to model real-world problems using MP2. Station #2 has students creating systems of equations and/or inequalities to describe the constraints of a problem using MP4. Station #3 has students graphing systems of equalities and inequalities using MP6. Station #4 has students solving linear systems and evaluating the viability of their solutions using MP1. Finally, Station #5 has students playing the games they created in yesterday's lesson and I'm sure MP3 will come up during those games. While they're working I walk around offering encouragement and redirection as needed. I want to maximize the time they have reviewing so I don't do a separate closing piece for this lesson other than telling my students that the assessment will be a team challenge rather than an individual free response or multiple choice exam. I explain that I will assign partners randomly at the beginning of the exam.

Potosí is the Bolivian department whose capital city, which bears the same name, achieved great prestige and popularity during the colonial period thanks to the veins of silver in its Cerro Rico (rich peak), which at that time were the most significant in the world. In the 17th century, Potosí was one of the most important cities in the world. It had more inhabitants (160,000) than Seville, London and Paris. Its residents lived surrounded by extravagant luxuries, compared to the slaves and indigenes who were forced to work in the womb of the earth. The mining facilities were constructed during this period, and along with them the architectural jewels that decorate its narrow streets - houses, palaces, churches, etc. Did you know it? In the book Don Quijote de la Mancha, Miguel de Cervantes created the expression "it's worth a Potosí" (vale un Potosí) which meant "it's worth a fortune." In Spain people say "I love you a Potosí" (te amo un Potosí) to say, "I love you very much". The city of Potosí is at 4067 masl and has 200,000 inhabitants. It was declared a World Heritage site in 1987. Another tourist attraction in the city is a visit to the mines where there is direct contact with miners, their reality (the conditions under which they work) and El Tío. El Tío is the god of the mine to whom offerings are made to survive in the womb of the earth. The first Friday of every month the miners meet around the image to praise it and ask its protection. The Department of Potosí has many tourists visiting thanks to places like the Uyuni Salt Plains, the Sud Lipez Natural Reserve and Uturuncu (6008 masl), etc.

207 hundredths could be used to describe time, distance, money, and many other things.| 207 hundredths means that if you divide something into one hundred equal parts, 207 hundredths is 207 of those parts that you just divided up. We converted 207 hundredths into different things below to explain further: 207 hundredths as a Fraction Since 207 hundredths is 207 over one hundred, 207 hundredths as a Fraction is 207 hundredths as a Decimal If you divide 207 by one hundred you get 207 hundredths as a decimal which is 2.07. 207 hundredths as a Percent To get 207 hundredths as a Percent, you multiply the decimal with 100 to get the answer of 207 percent. 207 hundredths of a dollar First, we divide a dollar into one hundred parts, where each part is 1 cent. Then, we multiply 1 cent with 207 and get 207 cents or 2 dollars and 7 cents.

Rat bite fever (also called Streptobacillary fever, Streptobacillosis, Haverhill fever, Epidemic arthritic erythema; Spirillary fever; Sodoku) is an acute, rare disease caused by bacteria Streptobacillus moniliformis and Spirillum minus. Rats are carriers of both bacteria but rarely show signs of illness. The majority of cases are due to the animal's bite. It can also be transmitted throughout food or water that is contaminated with rat feces or urine. Higher risk groups include laboratory workers, the owners of pet rats, pet shop personnel and veterinarians, as well as people who are exposed to wild rats. Symptoms due to S. moniliformis may include chills, fever, joint pain, redness, or swelling and due to S. minus may include chills, fever, open sore at the site of the bite, rash may be red/purple, plaques, swollen lymph nodes near the bite. Symptoms usually occur 3-10 days after exposure to an infected rodent, but can be delayed as long as 3 weeks. Rat-bite fever is treated with antibiotics (penicillin or tetracyclines for 7-14 days). Alternative drugs include ampicillin, cefuroxime, and cefotaxime. People handling rats or clean their cages should be advised to wear protective gloves, wash their hands after contact, and avoid hand-to mouth contact.

The left half of the Chinese character for Virtue, Morality, and Ethics 德 (dé) is formed by the ideogram ㄔ, a character that was derived over thousands of years from the symbol for “leg and foot.” It signifies an upright style of walking or behavior. The right half is composed of the four individual symbols 十目一心 (shímùyīxīn), where “一” (yī) stands for the number ‘one’, which reflects the generation of the universe through separation of Yin and Yang. 十 (shí), the symbol for the number ‘ten’, denotes perfection and completion, while at the same time implying that only the Gods are really perfect. It is also significant because it represents the ten directional universe of Buddhist thought. 目 (mù) signifies the word for ‘eye’ and 心 (xīn) the human heart. Thus, the right half, 十目一心, contains the inner meaning that “the gods observe the human heart.” Viewed as a whole, the ideogram 德 implies that the deeds of humans must comply with the laws of the gods, i.e., they must be virtuous. In ancient China, people often talked about “accumulating virtue.” Those who possessed much virtue and acted morally and ethically were assured of a successful reincarnation after death. Buddhist teachings dictated that an individual’s life was determined by how much virtue 德 he or she had accumulated or by how much good and evil he or she had committed in a previous life. The ideogram 德 shows how deeply Buddhist and Taoist teachings once influenced Chinese culture. Unfortunately, modern Chinese thought sometimes find these characters to be “too complicated.” (The Epochtimes)

Messier 16 The Eagle Nebula Distance: 7,000 Light Years Telescope: 10” RC Magnitude: 6.4 Camera: QSI 683 Size: 7 Arc-minutes Mount: AP 900 Age: Approx. 2 Million Years Exposures: L 11×600 Bin 1, RGB 11×300 Bin 2 Messier 16 is an open cluster in the constellation Serpens. The cluster is very young at 2 million years and was formed from the surrounding gas and dust known as IC 4703. The cluster contains about 460 stars with the brightest at magnitude 8.24. The entire area is commonly known as the Eagle nebula or Star Queen nebula. M16 contains many very hot young stars and the ultraviolet radiation emitted from these stars is the illuminating source of IC 4703. These young stars are also responsible for the shaping of the elephant trunk structures seen in my image. These young stars are Type O stars which are very hot, very large, and emit large amounts of ultraviolet radiation in the form of a solar wind. It is this solar wind which sculpts the shape of the denser dust in the region. It is also the solar wind which can destroy any planet and star formation in the immediate area of newly formed stars by blasting away any remaining gas and dust. This ultraviolet radiation is also giving the entire nebula a hollowed out look as it pushes gas and dust away from the cluster. However, farther out this same solar wind provides an initiation force to stimulate star formation because it shocks and heats cooler gas and dust. The large dust structures in my image are shaped from the ultraviolet radiation of nearby stars in the cluster. The dark dust structures are commonly known as elephant trunk structures because of their shape. One of the more famous ones is seen in this image and has been dubbed the Pillars of Creation. This area is shown in the middle of my image as a multi-pronged feature. The pillars contain Evaporating Gaseous Globules (EGG) that are smaller denser areas of gas and dust and are thought to be star formation areas. The smaller dust structures outside of these elephant trunk structures are called globules and it is thought that these are future protostars. [SEDS, Wikipedia, NOAO.edu, Universe Today]

The crimp fold is shown with two fold lines that are relatively close together, and a pair of back-to-back zig-zag lines. The fold lines can be parallel to one another or they may be at an angle to one another (see below). The zig-zag lines show an alternative view of the paper: a view from the raw-edge of the sheet. Some people use a single zig-zag line with an arrowhead; however, this is discouraged because it does not distinguish between the crimp fold and the pleat fold. To Make a Crimp Fold: - Unfold the model as much as you can without completely disrupting previous folds. - Make one of the folds: in this example, make the mountain fold at the left side of the paper. The right side of the paper will swing back and lie behind. - Make the second fold: valley fold the back layer thereby swinging the paper to the right again. Effectively, you have made a pleat. The dotted line is an X-ray line showing what happens behind the layers of paper. - Lastly, mountain fold along the existing crease to reform the fold undone in step "a" Note: the positioning of the valley and mountain folds will dramatically change the end-result. Compare the difference between the green and blue sheets of paper. In the blue paper, the mountain fold is on the right so, the left side will lie in between the right layers. Crimp folds do not need to have parallel fold lines. In the above examples, the creases are at an angle to one another and intersect at the edge of the paper. This causes the model to curve. Other combinations exist. In case A: at the crimp site, the top left section of the paper will lie in between the layers of the right side. In case B: the bottom left of the paper (raw edge) will lie in between the layers of the right side of the paper. Here, the top of the model is barely recessed at all.

Humans depend greatly on the skilful use of objects for their survival. Children’s play with objects develops hand eye coordination, handling and problem solving skills. Object play takes many forms. Babies mouth, investigate and drop objects. Toddlers use objects to stand for other things as they begin to symbolise. They can be replicas of real objects, but open ended objects are valuable as they encourage children to use their ever increasing imaginations to invent and try out new combinations and possibilities. Blocks have a particularly useful role to play in inventing scenarios and solving problems.

This week’s tragic elementary school shooting in Newtown, Connecticut, has most parents feeling a variety of difficult emotions—sorrow, anger, disbelief, fear. For parents who have themselves witnessed or been victims of violence or other traumatizing events, news of the shooting may also trigger old wounds and deep anxieties. As we struggle ourselves to come to terms with this event, we also wonder how best to discuss this kind of news with our children. They may see it on the news, they may hear us talking about it with our spouse, or they may hear about it at school from their peers. So how do we as parents appropriately engage our children with such a difficult and tragic topic? The first step to helping your children effectively process a disruptive or frightening event is to take care of yourself first. This means processing your own feelings of anger, sorrow, or confusion so that you can engage your children in a steady, calming way. Approaching this kind of topic with unbridled emotion can be alarming to your children and undermine their sense of security and safety. With young children, there is usually no need to initiate a discussion of tragic events that have not directly impacted them. It’s generally better to wait for them to bring it up and then to listen, answer questions, and offer perspective. Acknowledge their fears and give them the freedom to express their feelings and concerns, but remind them that “this rarely happens and you are safe.” Teens may benefit from a more direct approach, with you soliciting their opinions, thoughts, and reactions. Probing, discussing macabre details of the event, or constantly viewing media coverage , however, are not likely to help your teen. Instead, remain open and curious, answer questions, and—perhaps most importantly—be honest. Consistent honesty helps preserve your credibility with your children and fosters a sense of safety and reliability. Sensitive young people can be deeply triggered by news of this sort—especially those who have experienced trauma in the past. Signs of emotional distress and post-traumatic issues include: * changes in school performance or engagement * changes in diet * sleep disruption * expressions of worry * angry outbursts or tantrums If you see behavioral changes that cause you concern, seek help immediately. Early intervention can greatly improve both the speed and degree of healing that occurs in those suffering from trauma.

Environmentally induced periods of heat stress decrease productivity with devastating economic consequences to global animal agriculture. Heat stress can be defined as a physiological condition when the core body temperature of a given species exceeds its range specified for normal activity, which results from a total heat load (internal production and environment) exceeding the capacity for heat dissipation and this prompts physiological and behavioral responses to reduce the strain. The ability of ruminants to regulate body temperature is species- and breed-dependent. Dairy breeds are typically more sensitive to heat stress than meat breeds, and higher-producing animals are more susceptible to heat stress because they generate more metabolic heat. During heat stress, ruminants, like other homeothermic animals, increase avenues of heat loss and reduce heat production in an attempt to maintain euthermia. The immediate responses to heat load are increased respiration rates, decreased feed intake and increased water intake. Acclimatization is a process by which animals adapt to environmental conditions and engage behavioral, hormonal and metabolic changes that are characteristics of either acclimatory homeostasis or homeorhetic mechanisms used by the animals to survive in a new ‘physiological state’. For example, alterations in the hormonal profile are mainly characterized by a decline and increase in anabolic and catabolic hormones, respectively. The response to heat load and the heat-induced change in homeorhetic modifiers alters post-absorptive energy, lipid and protein metabolism, impairs liver function, causes oxidative stress, jeopardizes the immune response and decreases reproductive performance. These physiological modifications alter nutrient partitioning and may prevent heat-stressed lactating cows from recruiting glucose-sparing mechanisms (despite the reduced nutrient intake). This might explain, in large part, why decreased feed intake only accounts for a minor portion of the reduced milk yield from environmentally induced hyperthermic cows. How these metabolic changes are initiated and regulated is not known. It also remains unclear how these changes differ between short-term v. long-term heat acclimation to impact animal productivity and well-being. A better understanding of the adaptations enlisted by ruminants during heat stress is necessary to enhance the likelihood of developing strategies to simultaneously improve heat tolerance and increase productivity.

true that many thousands of people die from the flu each year. But Covid-19 hasn’t been around a year — or even half a year. It’s just getting started. may well be just another kind of flu, but with a higher fatality evidence so far shows the disease kills a larger proportion of people than the flu and is particularly lethal for the elderly and/or those with underlying health-risk conditions. it behaves differently to the flu. It takes one to 14 days for people with Covid-19 infection to develop symptoms (five days is the median). For the flu, it’s around two days. That potentially gives people more time to spread the illness asymptomatically before they know they are sick. or so months ago, this virus is believed to have made the leap from animals to humans for the very first time. No human immune system had seen it before November, so no human had any natural immunity to it. That means it’s more contagious than the flu. there is no vaccine to combat it nor any approved therapeutics to slow the course of its toll on humans. Epidemiologists say that 20 to 60 percent of the world’s adult population could end up catching this virus. the country, health care providers are worried about their facilities being overrun with an influx of patients, and having to ration lifesaving medical supplies. staff are working without proper protection. “This is astonishing. Our frontline heroes in the NHS are wearing 10p plastic bags on their heads for protection. Something’s wrong. Something’s very wrong.” Ian Lavery MP flu seasons are worse than others — but previously the NHS anticipated flu cases, and prepared for them. the UK warnings have been ignored. Richard Horton, Editor of The Lancet says, “Scientists have been sounding the alarm on coronavirus for months. Why did Britain fail to act?” (read more from Richard Horton here) possible that Covid-19 will become endemic — meaning it will be a disease that regularly attacks humans and will not go away until there’s a treatment or a vaccine.

Air & Water Reactions Combines with water to form grayish paste. Insoluble in water. White solid dissolved in some unkown organic solvent. Responders should try to identify the solvent being used. Solvent is added to lessen explosion hazard. Peroxides, such as CYCLOHEXANONE PEROXIDE, are good oxidizing agents. Organic compounds can ignite on contact with concentrated peroxides. Strongly reduced material such as sulfides, nitrides, and hydrides may react explosively with peroxides. There are few chemical classes that do not at least produce heat when mixed with peroxides. Many produce explosions or generate gases (toxic and nontoxic). Generally, dilute solutions of peroxides (<70%) are safe, but the presence of a catalyst (often a transition metal such as cobalt, iron, manganese, nickel, or vanadium) as an impurity may even then cause rapid decomposition, a buildup of heat, and even an explosion. Solutions of peroxides often become explosive when evaporated to dryness or near-dryness. Danger of explosion when dry. May ignite combustibles (wood, paper, oil, clothing, etc.). May be ignited by heat, sparks or flames. May burn rapidly with flare-burning effect. Containers may explode when heated.
