The cartridge mounted to the tonearm of your turntable uses a small stylus tip, made of diamond, to convert the information held within the groove of a record to a signal which can then be amplified for listening. During playback the stylus tip, attached to a cantilever, is dragged through a records groove at a consistent speed, tracing the landscape of the record itself. The physical variations within the groove causes this assembly to vibrate, and it is this physical movement which can then be converted into an electrical signal through electromagnetic induction. Electromagnetic induction is a phenomenon that occurs when an inductor is placed within a varying magnetic field. As this magnetic field changes, a current will be induced within the inductor proportional to the rate of change of the field. This principle is integral to the function of a cartridge and is achieved using magnets and coils of wire. Moving Magnet Cartridges. A moving magnet cartridge uses magnets fixed to the end of the cantilever. These magnets sit within a static set of wire coils, moving within these coils as the stylus travels along the record groove. This movement causes a variation in the magnetic field, inducing a small current within the coils that corresponds to the movement of the stylus. This current can then be amplified for listening using a phono preamplifier. Moving Coil Cartridges. The principle remains the same for a moving coil cartridge, with the primary difference being that in this assembly the coils are mounted upon the cantilever, whilst the magnets remain fixed. In this formation it is the coils that move in relation to the magnets, causing a variation in the magnetic field, and in turn inducing a small current. These coils of wire are often much smaller than those used in a moving magnet cartridge, and due to this the signal generated tends to be of a much lower level. Therefore, moving coil cartridges require a preamplifier with a dedicated MC input to provide the additional gain necessary for optimum performance. As the coils are mounted directly to the cantilever of a moving coil cartridge, the cantilever assembly itself is much lighter in comparison to that of a moving magnet cartridge. This lightweight design contributes to an improved transient response, better clarity during quieter sections of audio, and more detailed reproduction overall. However, cartridges of this type are therefore much more delicate and tend not to have any user-replaceable parts as can be seen in many moving magnet cartridges.

Town in the sea – level 3 Until the 3rd century AD, the town of Baia was the most coveted destination for wealthy Roman citizens, senators, and emperors. Now, it’s hidden beneath the sand and pebbles in the waters of the Gulf of Pozzuoli, just a few kilometers from Naples, Italy, and the only residents are fish and seahorses. The slow movement of land from volcanic activity caused the land to submerge, and in 1969, divers discovered the ruins of two marble statues by chance. About 15,000 divers, snorkelers, and tourists visit the site all year round to travel back in time and swim through ancient streets, mosaics, statues, and the remains of a seaside resort. Over the years, archeologists have moved some of the ancient objects above the sea to protect them from rock-eating plants and animals, strong tides, and thieves. However, the archeologists have placed copies of the originals underwater so that divers can experience the city as it was 2,000 years ago. Difficult words: covet (to want something very much), submerge (to go under water), mosaic (small pieces of stone or glass that are arranged together to make a picture or pattern).

Most of Quebec's wild blueberry production is frozen. This allows large volumes of fruit to be harvested in a short period of time and sold throughout the year. Fresh blueberries are in a more precarious situation where the harvest period determines when they will be on the shelves of food chains. Ripening occurs at a time when the risk of frost increases. Increasing the consumption of fresh Quebec wild blueberries and improving the predictability of supply from one season to the next are priorities for the sector. To achieve this, harvests need to be spread out over a longer period of time to prevent an early frost event from sabotaging the crop. The risk of frost can be mitigated with different protection methods that have proven their worth for other crops. However, the feasibility, cost, risks and framework for successful adoption of this practice remain to be detailed for blueberries. From 2020 to 2022 Optimizing spraying through exclusion nets. Researchers: Gérald Chouinard Daniel Cormier Vincent Philion The aim of this project is to improve the productivity of haskap orchards by promoting more efficient water and nutrient uptake. Researcher: Carl Boivin The aim of our project was to increase the acreage on which mating disruption is used against the codling moth in all of Québec’s apple-growing regions.

The full size model of Chiron, which was taken care of by Lego company, can also move independently with the help of a number of electric motors. At the beginning of this summer, the French car maker Bugatti and the Danish toy maker Lego presented the first result of their joint collaboration, a miniature of Chiron, which followed the example of Porsche 911 GT3 and some other miniatures that Lego created with various other automotive manufacturers. Now Lego and Bugatti started a new and much larger project: the production of Lego Chiron in its natural size. BUGATTI and @LEGO_Group achieved the impossible: a full-sized LEGO Technic Bugatti Chiron that drives! #BuildforReal #BUGATTI #Chiron #LEGOTechnicBugatti pic.twitter.com/C3LA2AJ5KZ— Bugatti (@Bugatti) August 30, 2018 More than a million different Lego cubes were used in the design of the model, some of which were premiered in the project, and more than 13,000 working hours were invested for its production and testing. The car is almost entirely made of Lego components, while Bugatti provided the original Chiron wheel rims and some other minor components of the vehicle, which in total weighs around 1,500 kilograms. Although it's just a mock up of a real car, full sized Lego Chiron can move independently up to a maximum speed over 20 kilometers per hour. Under a bonnet in an apparently true engine housing, namely cooperate as many as 2,034 electric motors, which otherwise move much smaller miniatures.

Understanding the news, a movie, a song is one of the skills that stresses most students. Nothing strange about that, once you’ve heard it, it’s gone, you have to be quick, to make sense of a few or more words to get the meaning of what is said and in many situations, there is no way to rewind. However, it is a part of all our language exams, so here are a few sites where you can train, practice and improve your listening and understanding skills. I’ll start with two sites which provide “slower” news, and scripts. VOA (Voice of America) provides many ways of improving comprehension and learning vocabulary. There’s also a YouTube Channel, Listen and read along based on VOA news with a script you can follow. Same thing for News in levels. If you like karaoke, music, singing along or just another way to practice English, try Lyricstraining. One website I like a lot because, there are many videos and audios, different levels, interesting subjects, and the speakers are not always native speakers, is Elllo. CNN10 is obviously a reference, international news for students in 10 minutes, quizzes to check your weekly news and scripts. BBC provides so many excellent services to help students learn English that I can’t even begin to list them. I encourage you to browse through the BBC Learning English, section especially 6 Minute English and take your time, you can search by level or by programmes. If you feel comfortable I would advise listening to the BBC Global News, 30 minutes of news and reports. Last but not least, there’s the Ted.com website, talks about so many subjects that you will necessarily find one that will appeal to you. There are also zillions of YouTube channels to help you, and here is one: Leave a Reply

This device has a long history. It’s a tool used by cooks, magic maidens and healers. Thousands of years ago, the Aztec and Maya used a similar utensil made of basalt for cooking. Evidence reveals Native Americans created mortars in bedrock and used a pestle to grind acorns and other nuts. The mortar is a strong bowl, or as history has shown, an indent in a hard surface with the capability to hold material. The dimension of the vessel varies, ranging from the size of a dessert bowl to a barrel. It’s usually made of hard wood, ceramic or stone. The pestle is the fat round-ended stick or club which grinds, crushes and mixes the material in the mortar. From its conception, mortar and pestle were used for the purpose of creating medicine. The close relationship between the pair continues, and the mortar and pestle image often appear on medical prescriptions. In fiction, characters who work magic are often well-versed in the use of the tool. They crush herbs and other plant material to create potions and magical pastes. Some prefer wooden mortars, but many prefer the roughness of stone. In a pinch, it can also be used as a throwing weapon. The young haulfin in Shadows in the Stone happened upon one while visiting the Midway Keep… Isla had reached the end of the room. The centre display unit ended, leaving a path to the opposite side. Natural light poured in from two tall windows. Sundry items—lanterns, candles, flint and firesteel kits, tinderboxes, hand mirrors and folding knives—filled the tables near the openings. On the sill sat a miniature statue of a dragon beside a small dish and pestle akin to what Alaura used to mix herbs. Three books similar in size leant against the glass frame. If your stories contain magic, healers or herbs and your characters have never used a mortar and pestle before, perhaps you could introduce them to the tool. …Horses change lives. They give our young people confidence and self-esteem. They provide peace and tranquility to troubled souls. They give us hope! ~ Toni Robinson

Ai’aoksiikowaata is pronounced “eye ox EE go WA duh.” It is a Blackfoot word that means “providing guidance to youth.” Ai’aoksiikowaata describes the nurturing and direction that youth traditionally received from ceremony and other traditional parenting practices. Our childhood experiences provide the basis for living a good adult life. All children have the right to receive nurturing and guidance that comes from a loving, supportive, and stable family. We know that people coming out of child welfare often have not received this kind of care and are thus more likely to become homeless, fall into poverty, and experience subsequent health problems. What we don’t know is just how many people continue to struggle or how many are able achieve their goals after they age out. The goal of this project is to make improvements to Alberta’s child welfare system so that young people who are growing up in government care can receive all the guidance and support they need to successfully transition into independent adulthood. To achieve this goal, we need to understand where the gaps are and how it affects people’s lives. For this reason, we have created two research studies, a survey and a storytelling project, to learn about youths’ experiences with the system. The project is open to people from all backgrounds. However, because Aboriginal children and youth are especially affected by the child welfare system, this project was inspired and guided by Blackfoot knowledge holders. If you want to learn more and participate, please visit the Survey and Storytelling pages.

Kievan Rus' (Old East Slavic Рѹ́сь, Рѹ́сьскаѧ землѧ, Greek Ῥωσία, Latin Rus(s)ia, Ruscia, Ruzzia, Rut(h)enia,Old Norse Garðaríki) was a loose federation of East Slavic tribes in Europe from the late 9th to the mid-13th century, under the reign of the Rurik dynasty. The modern peoples of Belarus, Ukraine, and Russia all claim Kievan Rus' as their cultural ancestors. At its greatest extent in the mid-11th century, it stretched from the Baltic Sea in the north to the Black Sea in the south and from the headwaters of the Vistula in the west to the Taman Peninsula in the east, uniting the majority of East Slavic tribes. Kievan Rus' begins with the rule (882–912) of Prince Oleg, who extended his control from Novgorod south along the Dnieper river valley in order to protect trade from Khazar incursions from the east and moved his capital to the more strategic Kiev. Sviatoslav I (died 972) achieved the first major expansion of Kievan Rus' territorial control, fighting a war of conquest against the Khazar Empire. Vladimir the Great (980–1015) introduced Christianity with his own baptism and, by decree, that of all the inhabitants of Kiev and beyond. Kievan Rus' reached its greatest extent under Yaroslav I (1019–1054); his sons assembled and issued its first written legal code, the Rus' Justice, shortly after his death.

Slavic Institute (Slovanský Ústav). A Czechoslovak state-funded research institution, founded in Prague on the initiative (1920) of President Tomáš Garrigue Masaryk. It was legally constituted in 1922 to study and develop Czechoslovakia’s cultural and economic relations with other Slavic countries. Under the directors Lubor Niederle (1928–32) and M. Murko (1932–40) the institute was active in the field of Slavic studies. During that time it published many serials, over 70 monographs, and over 50 annual volumes of Byzantinoslavica, Germanoslavica, Slavia, and Slavische Rundschau. Its Slavic Library (Slovanská Knihovna, est 1924) was one of the largest Slavic libraries outside the USSR; in 1946 it contained 244,000 monographs and 150,000 annual periodical runs. The institute supported scholarly institutions and individual scholars engaged in Ukrainian studies. Ukrainian émigré scholars who were members of the institute included Leonid Biletsky, Filaret Kolessa, Dmytro Chyzhevsky, Oleksander Kolessa, Ivan Ohiienko, Oleksander Lototsky, Stepan Smal-Stotsky, Oleksander Mytsiuk, Fedir Steshko, and Vladimir Timoshenko; they worked on its numerous commissions, particularly on its autonomous Research Board on Slovakia and Subcarpathian Ruthenia. From 1931 to 1940 the Ukrainian Historical Cabinet functioned within the institute. The institute’s activities were restricted during the German occupation, and it was closed down in 1943. It was reactivated in 1945, but Soviet repression forced it to suspend its activities in 1948. In 1953 it was revived as part of the Czechoslovak Academy of Sciences.

Last modified: 31 May 2022 13:22 This course introduces students to the key issues surrounding being a geologist in the petroleum industry. With the changing nature of hydrocarbon exploration and production, both conventional and unconventional hydrocarbons are considered. The key concepts of the origin and generation of hydrocarbons, reservoir rocks and subsurface reservoir structures (traps) are introduced, together with some of the key techniques used within the industry (e.g. reservoir geology, petrophysics and formation evaluation). Practical issues such as how hydrocarbon wells are drilled and how rocks are sampled in the subsurface are also considered. |Session||First Sub Session||Credit Points||15 credits (7.5 ECTS credits)| Information on contact teaching time is available from the course guide.

European volunteer scuba group Ghost Diving and its partner Healthy Seas are collaborating with Wageningen University & Research in the Netherlands on a pilot initiative to determine the ecological impact and sources of the ghost nets and lines they recover in the North Sea and Adriatic. Also read: Net result for Ghost Diving USA They hope that the knowledge will lead to more effective ghost-net prevention and clean-up strategies. During their first sea clean-up of 2022 in mid-January, a Ghost Divers team from the Netherlands, Croatia and Italy collected samples off the Croatian coast and recorded underwater footage for analysis by the researchers. “Up to now, the ecological impact and sources of nets retrieved from wrecks have received relatively little research attention,” said scientific researcher Wouter Jan Strietman from the university. “We are happy to support Ghost Diving and Healthy Seas by contributing our expertise to provide a deeper understanding of the issue.” It is estimated that 640,000 tons of abandoned, lost and discarded fishing gear end up in the ocean each year, much of it plastic netting that can take centuries to decompose and in that time goes on catching and killing marine life. “With the results coming out of this project we are aiming at improving our clean-up protocol and to further contributing to the dialogue with the fisheries sector around solutions tackling the ghost-fishing phenomenon,” said Ghost Diving founder Pascal van Erp. The results of the pilot phase of the scientific project will be published towards the end of this year. Ghost Diving volunteers have been clearing nets and other marine debris since 2009, while Healthy Seas, which started in 2013, works to recycle marine litter into textiles. Recovered fishing nets are regenerated into ECONYL yarn from which products such as swim- and sportswear or carpets are made.

Between 2000 and 2010, the use of colorectal cancer screenings increased from 19% to 55% among adults ages 50 to 75, the analysis found. In 2010, 64% of people age 65 years and older reported having undergone a recent screening test. “Colorectal cancer is one of the few cancers that we can actually prevent with screening, so it's a great opportunity,” Siegel said. Despite the progress, researchers say there's still more work to do. “This is a really important and is a lifesaving test,” said Siegel, “but we still have more than a third of adults for whom screening is recommended (who are) not getting tested, and others who say they have never been screened.” Screening rates remain low among the poor and uninsured, the report said, and there were substantial racial and ethnic differences in both incidence and death rates. For example, the death rate for blacks was 50% higher than that of whites, attributed to disproportionately higher poverty rates in the black community. With more people gaining access to coverage as a result of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, Siegel says she hopes some of the disparities will be addressed. But in general, she says, she is often shocked by how unaware the public remains on the role they can play in prevention. “Colon cancer is one of the cancers we do know a lot about in terms of risk factors,” she said noting that any effort to encourage patients to achieve and maintain a healthy weight, increase physical activity, eat plant-based diets low in red and processed meats and quit smoking can help. Colon cancer is currently the third leading cause of death for both men and women in the U.S. This year more than 136,000 individuals are projected to receive a colorectal cancer diagnosis, and more than 50,000 are projected to die from the disease. The CA report used colon cancer incidence data drawn from the National Cancer Institute's Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results program and the North American Association of Central Cancer Registries, and mortality data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's National Center for Health Statistics. The CDC last November issued a report noting that comparative effectiveness data have shown at-home stool tests to be equivalent to colonoscopies at catching cancer early in patients who don't have additional risk factors.

How to view different worksheets of the same workbook side by side? It’s quite normal to have two workbooks opened; and more than common to view the two workbooks side by side: This could be done fairly easy: 1) On the RIbbon, Go to View –> Arrange All –> Select how you want to arrange –> OK (Pls try the four different ways to see the differences) How about to view same/different worksheet(s) of the SAME workbook together? It requires just one more step in advance. 1) Create a new window for the workbook: Go to View –> New Window 2) Note the name on the top of the window. Now it is “12 month profit and loss.xlsx:2 – Microsoft Excel” 3) Also look at the bottom, you should see two windows of the same workbook. 4) Repeat the step in the 1st part: Go to View –> Arrange All –> Select the way you want –> Check “Windows of Active Workbook” –> OK 5) There you go. The screenshot below shows two windows of the same worksheet of the same workbook. You may select different worksheet if required. Tips: You may click the “View Side by Side” to activate “Synchronous Scrolling”

Wi-Fi and Ethernet are two popular ways to connect devices to a network, such as the internet. While both methods have their advantages and disadvantages, Ethernet is generally considered to be the more reliable and faster option. Here’s a breakdown of the differences between Wi-Fi and Ethernet: - Speed: Ethernet connections are typically faster than Wi-Fi connections. Wi-Fi speeds can vary depending on the distance from the router, the number of devices connected to the network, and other factors. Ethernet connections can provide a more consistent and reliable speed, making it better for activities that require high bandwidth, such as gaming, streaming video, and downloading large files. - Security: Ethernet connections are generally considered to be more secure than Wi-Fi connections. Wi-Fi signals can be intercepted by anyone within range, making it easier for hackers to access your network and steal sensitive information. Ethernet cables, on the other hand, provide a direct connection between your device and the router, making it harder for hackers to intercept your data. - Reliability: Ethernet connections are more reliable than Wi-Fi connections, especially in areas with a lot of interference or where the signal is weak. Wi-Fi signals can be disrupted by other wireless devices, walls, and other obstacles. Ethernet cables provide a more stable and consistent connection, making it better for tasks that require a stable network connection. - Convenience: Wi-Fi connections are more convenient than Ethernet connections. Wi-Fi allows you to connect multiple devices to a network without the need for cables, making it easier to move around your home or office. Ethernet connections, on the other hand, require you to have a cable running from your device to the router, which can be inconvenient and limit your mobility. In conclusion, Ethernet is generally considered to be the more reliable and faster option for network connections. However, Wi-Fi is more convenient and can be a good option for devices that don’t require a high-speed connection or when mobility is important. Ultimately, the choice between Wi-Fi and Ethernet depends on your needs and preferences, as well as the layout and size of your home or office.

Intelligent inhaler designed to combat spiraling costs of respiratory disease Asthma is a common long term inflammatory disease of the airways of the lungs. It is characterized by variable and recurring symptoms, reversible airflow obstruction, and bronchospasm. Symptoms such as wheezing, coughing, chest tightness, and shortness of breath may occur a few times a day or a few times per week. More than 300 million people worldwide suffer from either asthma or COPD (chronic obstructive pulmonary disease), with numbers rising rapidly driven by the ageing population. There is no cure for asthma but medication delivered in the form of aerosol sprays can be effective in treating the symptoms. Hospitals and care providers, however, continue to see low levels of adherence and poor and inconsistent competence using these devices. This is where a Minnesota based company called 3M Drug Delivery Systems comes in with its 3M™ Intelligent Control Inhaler. The device, which is still under development, provides a number of benefits over standard inhalers. The 3M™ Intelligent Control Inhaler relies on a combination of breath actuation with innovative technology to control inspiratory flow rate and actuate the drug delivery. This results in more accurate dosage delivery. The dose is only registered when the patient correctly inhales medication. This provides cost-savings to healthcare professionals who can avoid unnecessary switches and treatment escalation, and delivers greater accuracy of information for the patient. And the device is intelligent in that it records the times that the medication is administered, as well as other data about the patient’s breathing patterns. The smartphone app collects all this information and sends it on to the patient’s healthcare professional. “Providing an effective and intuitive delivery method for respiratory disease treatment is critical to patients, health care providers and payers alike,” said Louise Righton, Global Marketing Operations Manager, 3M Drug Delivery Systems. “Poor technique in using an inhaler, coupled with the challenges of getting patients to adhere to their medication protocols, can lead to exacerbations, increased use of health care resources and ultimately, a burden on health care systems. By increasing competence and adherence, we can realize better patient outcomes and reduce health care costs.” The device will be developed in partnership with a pharmaceutical company, and is expected to be in wide use within the next few years.

State of the Birds 2022 in Northern Virginia, Audubon Society of Northern Virginia Photo: Chimney Swifts, Gen Cvengros, Audubon Photography Awards Following a 2019 report that we have lost 3 billion birds in 50 years in the United States and Canada, the national State of the Birds Report 2022 (released on October 12, 2022) shows that birds are declining in every habitat except wetlands, where 30+ years of conservation investment have paid off. To see the national report, visit StateoftheBirds.org. Here in northern Virginia, we have also lost many birds. Urban and suburban areas pose special threats to birds, including habitat loss, window and other collisions, and the spread of invasive species, including plants, insect pests, and outdoor cats. In the face of these losses, there are many things we can do to promote bird conservation. ASNV’s Audubon at Home program advises homeowners on replacing invasive plants with natives. In addition, we advise park managers on how to manage parks for breeding birds, especially grasslands and meadows that support declining species such as Eastern Meadowlarks and American Kestrels. The new State of the Birds report identifies 90 species that have declined more than 50% in the past 50 years. Of those species, five breed in northern Virginia and should be a special focus of conservation efforts here: - Chimney Swift – You can help ASNV protect swifts by letting us know if you have breeding swifts or a fall roosting congregation. - Wood Thrush and Red-headed Woodpecker – These birds need healthy forests to breed successfully. - Prairie Warbler – This is a species that needs overgrown meadows with Eastern red cedars. - King Rail – This a secretive wetland bird that often breeds in Occoquan Bay National Wildlife Refuge and occasionally in other wetlands nearby. In addition to these five, our region supports important populations of migrating birds in spring and fall. These birds use small parks and even backyards while traveling on their perilous journeys, so everything we do to improve our local environment can make a big difference!

The report by experts at the London School of Economics looked at 300 scientific studies to evaluate evidence of sentience, and they concluded that cephalopods (such as octopuses, squid and cuttlefish) and decapods (such as crabs, lobsters and crayfish) should be treated as sentient beings. Vertebrates, animals with a backbone, are already classified as sentient in new animal welfare legislation currently under debate in the United Kingdom. Learning more about cephalopods and decapods The report used eight different ways to measure sentience including learning ability, possession of pain receptors, connections between pain receptors and certain brain regions, response to anesthetics or analgesics, and behaviors including balancing threat against opportunity for reward and protection against injury or threat. It found “very strong” evidence of sentience in octopods and “strong” evidence in most crabs. For other animals in these two groups, such as squid, cuttlefish and lobsters they found the evidence was substantial but not strong. However, the report said these varying degrees of evidence reflected disparities in the amount of attention different animals have received from scientists. “Scientific attention has gravitated towards some (animals) rather than others for reasons of practical convenience (e.g. which animals can be kept well in labs) and geography (e.g. which species are available where a lab is located). Because of this situation, we think it would be inappropriate to limit protection to specific orders of cephalopod, or to specific infraorders of decapod,” the report said.

The Scottish Fire and Rescue Service, in partnership with a number of key organisations has developed a new resource to teach children and young people about the hazards and consequences they may face in everyday life and how to make the right choices to stay safe. The resource is written by experienced teachers with support from partner agencies and covers aspects of child safety including fire, home, water, rail, road, personal, digital, outdoor and what to do in an emergency. Get your outdoor products such as the best Thermo Gears. The UK Government has announced plans to reschedule certain cannabis-based products like CBD cream for medicinal use some from Ecowatch and has laid regulations in the Westminster Parliament to that effect. Subject to annulment by either House of Parliament, those regulations will come into force on 1st November 2018. This letter provides support and guidance to clinicians following the re-scheduling. In particular, this letter sets out expectations of what this regulatory change will mean in practice for clinicians working in the NHS and in private practice in Scotland. The resource is available at http://www.gosafescotland.com. The new resource will be of significant benefit to teachers in delivering early intervention education and information relating to the learning and teaching of health and wellbeing as part of the curriculum for excellence.

Experimental and numerical study of the airflow and thermal characteristic of non-uniform transpired solar collector non-uniform transpired solar collector, airflow and thermal characteristics, experiment, numerical simulation A transpired solar-collector is a device, which is attached to building walls, that uses solar energy to provide preheated fresh outdoor-air before it is drawn into the building through the ventilation system. A transpired collector consists of a heat-collection plate with infiltration holes, an air layer, an air outlet, and other auxiliary components. A transpired solar collector with non-uniform holes is investigated in this paper, and a physical model for it is developed. The model is then simplified to enable effective simulation and subsequently verified by experiments to evaluate the reliability of the simulation results. Furthermore, a multi-factor sensitivity analysis of a transpired solar collector, with respect to airflow and thermal characteristics, is performed using a numerical simulation. In addition, the application of the device is combined with the thermal requirements of the actual building. The results show that the air-layer thickness has the strongest effect on the heat-collection efficiency, which can be increased to 93% when thickness is 30 mm and height ratio is 0.30. This effect is obvious only in the case of non-uniform perforation. Although a high air-velocity can increase the daily heat-exchange by 595.2 W, the average daily air-supply temperature decreases by 34.2 °C. Even though the temperature-target may not be reached when more fresh air is introduced, the reduction of the fresh air heating-load is substantial.

How do you abbreviate double? There are two common ways to abbreviate double. (Note Internet slang has also contributed 2X as an abbreviated form of double) - dbl. rewards - dubl. number expected Of these two abbreviations, dbl. is definitely the more common abbreviation. The plural abbreviation of double is dbls. or dubls. When to Use This Abbreviation You might see this abbreviation at a restaurant for a dbl. cheeseburger or for a credit card advertisement for dbl. rewards. Generally speaking, however, abbreviations such as dbl. or dubl. will not appear in prose or similarly written texts. They are reserved for titles, headlines, advertisements, shorthand notes, or other areas where space is a concern. What Does Double Mean? Definition of Double: Double is defined as consisting of two equal, identical, or similar parts or things; having some essential part or feature twice, in particular; a thing that is twice as large as usual or is made of two standard units or things; become twice as much or as many. - We bought our tickets at the box office the night of the concert, and were shocked that ours cost double what you paid! - We joined two sleeping bags together to make a double. - Shinbone Corporation’s profits doubled in less than 9 months! The word double functions as an adverb in the first sentence, as a noun in the second, and as a verb in the third. Outside Examples of Double - An NBC News/Wall Street Journal survey of likely voters released Monday put Clinton ahead of Trump, 52 percent to 38 percent, outside the margin of error. That was a double the gap in a similar poll taken last Monday before the first presidential debate which gave Clinton a 48 percent to 41 percent advantage. –The Star Ledger - Her (Clinton’s) plan would double the Child Tax Credit and provide low income families more money in refunds. –Newsday Summary: Double Abbreviation There are two common abbreviations of double: dbl. and dubl. If you want to make either of these plural, simply add on an “s.”

December 16, 2010: Fifteen million Americans are now unemployed, according to the most recent jobs report. The unemployment rate for November inched up to 9.8%. The grimmest numbers, however, are for the long-term unemployed (see chart 1): 6.3m people, 42% of those unemployed, have been jobless for more than 26 weeks. That number does not include 2.5m people who want a job but who have not looked for a month or more, or the 9m who want full-time work but can only find part-time openings. For the full story see the Economist. America, unlike some European countries, is not used to such high numbers. No recent recession has seen so many Americans out of a job for so long. Now, with millions fallen from the ranks of the employed, the federal government has deployed its imperfect safety net to catch them. The first and most generous form of help is unemployment insurance. It is usually paid from a state trust fund and lasts only 26 weeks, as long as recipients meet criteria such as continuing to look for work. But Ohio is one of many states whose unemployment fund is empty. Since 2008 the federal government has paid for an extension of benefits, now to 99 weeks in battered states. Last year this helped keep 3.3m Americans out of poverty, according to the Centre on Budget and Policy Priorities, a think-tank. If Congress passes Barack Obama’s recent deal with Republicans, workers will go on being eligible for the 99-week maximum payment until the end of next year. But even so, 99 weeks is all anyone can get, and many workers have already reached that limit.

Poison dart frogs, also called poison arrow frogs, get their name from their toxic skin secretions. Tribes in the frogs' native habitats used the frog poison on their arrows. The frogs' vivid colors warn potential predators they aren't safe to eat. As adults, poison dart frogs are carnivores, yet many are omnivores as tadpoles, says National Aquarium Curator Ken Howell on the organization's website. Native to Central and South American rainforests and to some Hawaiian islands, poison dart frogs hunt spiders and small insects such as termites and ants. With a fast tongue flick, the frog grips the prey and pulls it into his mouth. Keen eyesight gives the tiny frogs an advantage for finding prey. Their zoo diet consists of crickets, the Smithsonian National Zoological Park website reports. Many poison dart frogs eat algae as tadpoles. Because algae is a plant food, their diet is omnivorous at this stage. The tadpoles grow into baby frogs in small pools of water where they eat tiny insects as well as the algae in the water. Poison dart tadpoles will also eat other tadpoles, according to the National Aquarium website. In the dyeing poison frog species (Dendrobates tinctorius), the female returns to each tadpole to lay an unfertilized egg for her offspring to eat. Gryphon Adams began publishing in 1985.

Prevention of ROP is best accomplished by decreasing premature births. However, premature births have not decreased; rather, smaller and more immature infants are surviving. Several prevention strategies have been trialed and continue to be investigated. Oxygen has been associated with ROP since the early 1950s. In early studies, when oxygen administration was limited, the incidence of ROP dropped, but survival rates decreased and the prevalence of cerebral palsy increased. Subsequently, it was discovered that the oxygen level in the blood, rather than the amount of oxygen delivered, contributed to the development of ROP. Today, research continues to look at minimizing oxygen supplementation at stable levels in an effort to decrease the severity of ROP, while still preserving optimal oxygenation to vital organs.[12,18] A recent clinical trial found a significant decrease in the rate of severe ROP following an educational program and strict implementation of oxygen management and monitoring. The protocol included maintaining oxygen saturations at lower levels for very-low-birth weight infants and avoiding wide swings in oxygenation. Early studies implicated environmental lighting as a factor in the development of ROP. Meta-analysis of research on this topic found that decreasing retinal ambient light exposure in premature infants is very unlikely to reduce the incidence of ROP. Antioxidants are also being studied for their role in preventing ROP. Large dose vitamin E as a prevention measure was studied in the 1980s, but significant side effects halted clinical trials, and many physicians have abandoned the practice. Inositol, an antioxidant found in breast milk, is under investigation for its potential in reducing the severity of chronic lung disease. An unexpected finding in the preliminary results is a decreased incidence of ROP. Gene therapy for inherited or acquired ocular diseases is also under investigation. Animal trials indicate that gene transfer to an eye using adeno-associated viral (AAV) vectors may be promising for infants with ROP. NAINR. 2003;3(3) © 2003 W.B.

MP3 Audio Sample From wagon ruts to a railroad empire, an expansive account of the battle to control the heavily contested transportation corridors of the American Southwest and to build America's greatest transcontinental route. The driving of the golden spike at Promontory Summit, which marked the completion of the country's first transcontinental railroad, was only the beginning of the race for railroad dominance. In the aftermath of this building feat, dozens of railroads, each with aggressive empire builders at their helms, raced one another for the ultimate prize of a southern transcontinental route that was generally free of snow, shorter in distance, and gentler in gradients. More than just a means of transportation, the railroads were a powerful mold, and the presence of a rail line had the power to make—or break—the fledgling towns and cities across the newborn American West. While much has been written about the building of the first transcontinental railroad, the bulk of the history of the railroads in the United States has been largely ignored. With a meticulous, loving eye, Walter Borneman picks up where most other histories leave off. Author Walter R. Borneman Narrated by Norman Dietz Publication date Sep 22, 2010 Running time 15 hrs

This article provides an interesting statistic: “Currently, women make up 39 percent of traditional entrepreneurs in the U.S., but 49 percent of all social entrepreneurs.” The article discusses the compelling story of Yasmine Mustafa, whose unique experiences inspired her to create ROAR, “the social good company that makes discreet-yet-sleek jewelry items for women that double as alert systems in the face of violence.” For example, “The first product, called Athena, is as big as a quarter, can be worn on a necklace or belt, and sends a signal to friends and family alerting them that you feel unsafe or are in a dangerous situation when you push it like a button.” The article also discusses the definition of “social entrepreneur,” stating that one definition is “based on criteria offered up by researcher Greg Dees in 2001. The ventures are formed to create and sustain social impact. Founders have a deep sense of commitment to the people they serve and the outcomes they produce — all while pursuing tenets typical of all strong, nimble businesses, with investments in product innovation, adaptation and a conscientious use of resources.” We’ve read about Dees previously, and it was interesting to see how his definition aligns with social innovators in reality. This is definitely a great idea and this article should the importance of being a social entrepreneur. Yasmine Mustafa’s idea was extremely unique to help integrate the entrepreneurship principles of creating a product that would be socially beneficial as well. If we as entrepreneurs can perceive these ideas into our products, then we would be more aligned with social entrepreneurship to help the world become a better place.

Guillaume de Machaut The Capture of Alexandria Guillaume de Machaut, a man famous for both his poetry and his musical compositions, wrote his Prise d’Alexandrie (or Capture of Alexandria) just a few years after the death of his hero, King Peter I of Cyprus (1359-69). It is a verse history of Peter’s reign, and was Machaut’s last major literary work. Peter’s ancestors had ruled the island of Cyprus since the 1190s, and in 1365 Peter gained notoriety throughout western Europe as leader of a crusading expedition which captured the Egyptian port of Alexandria. His forces, however, were unable to retain control, and Peter was left with a war against the Egyptian sultan. It was his increasingly desperate measures to continue the struggle and carry opinion with him that resulted in his murder in 1369. Machaut relied on information relayed by French participants in Peter’s wars, but although he was not an eyewitness of these events, his account is independent of other narratives of the reign which were written in Cyprus apparently under the auspices of the king’s heirs. ’The translation is clear...Recommended for all academic libraries.’ De Re Militari '... [the] translation is brisk and vigorous, designed, as are others in the same series... we can only be grateful that this text, fascinating for historians and literary scholars alike, is finally full y available.' Medium Aevum '... technically expert, energetic, and eminently readable... contains much that those interested in the events it traces would find valuable...' Speculum

Huge progress in the ecology field is made by Central American country Costa Rica. Carlos Alvarado, the 38-year old president of the country, states that “Decarbonization is the great task of our generation and Costa Rica must be one of the first countries in the world to accomplish it, if not the first” and he is now using renewables to cover 99% of the needed energy in the country. This big eco change is followed by a spectacular plan for reducing and totally removing the fossil fuel powered cars by the end of the presidential mandate of Alvarado – in 2021. This kind of change could be quite a challenge while the streets of Costa Rica’s capital San José are choked with traffic, the automobile market in the country is growing with the incredible 25% every year and only less than 2% of the cars now are electrics and hybrids. So, Alvarado’s plan will be a great leap forward in the idea of a greener Earth and will have a massive impact in the long term. However, scientists and researchers are not very optimistic about the idea. According to them, reaching the full elimination of fossil fuels within a few years is unrealistic. We are not sure if Costa Rica will succeed in making the planet greener, but one thing is sure: this plan is spreading the world-changing idea of saving nature and the air of our planet. And this one could be more valuable than we think, because every great deed starts with a brave idea and behind it stand people who believe in what they do.

In thirty chapters, the narrative develops the incredible story of how a boy (Younis/Eunus/Euno) captured as a slave in Afamia, Syria challenges the Roman Empire in Sicily, circa 140-132 BCE. The chapters dramatize the circumstance of his capture, his experiences as a tutor, the growth of his prophetic and magical abilities, events that fomented the uprising (cruelties, rapes, crucifixions), the role of female characters, connections to other historical events (e.g., the destruction of Carthage), as well as scenes of an exorcism, an ancient marriage ceremony, a play performed outside a besieged city, and several battles against the Roman legions. An epilogue by an imagined contemporary narrator, who explains why she wrote the novel, ends the work. In the chapters and epilogue, while using ancient sources to some extent (sparse and biased as they are), the work departs from them to resolve contradictions, fill in gaps, and present an alternative narrative of historical and cultural issues. It’s intended to remedy the neglect of this story in both ancient and modern sources, reverse the demonization explicit and implicit in them, and remedy the imbalance in the dominant constructs. It promotes the event as significant, certainly just as important as (if not more than) the Spartacus rebellion seven decades afterwards, or others that are commonly recounted. A significant aspect of this revolt comes from the fact that Younis was able to forge a coalition of slaves, farmers and herders that defeated Roman armies and established an independent entity on more egalitarian principles. The novel also touches on a range of topics, such as prophecy, magic, languages, the construct of Western civilization, representation of regional cultures, customs, and mythologies. An idealized statue of this rebel stands today in Enna, Sicily, along with an inscription that seems designed to appeal to tourists, yet Younis’ rebellion contradicts the dominant notions promoted in Italy and throughout the West, especially the identification with imperial Rome. This novel is intended to remedy his legacy.

Michael A Cassar Avoid making mountains out of molehills. When we're stressed or overwhelmed, our brains can interpret small issues as significant problems, causing us to lose perspective and blow things out of proportion. This can lead to unnecessary worry, anxiety, and even panic. To avoid making mountains out of molehills, it's important to practice self-awareness and recognize when we're feeling stressed or anxious. We can then take steps to calm ourselves down and regain perspective. Some techniques that can help include: Take a break: Sometimes, the best thing we can do is step away from the situation for a while. Take a walk, do some deep breathing exercises, or engage in a relaxing activity to help clear your mind and reduce stress. Challenge your thoughts: When you find yourself catastrophizing or blowing things out of proportion, challenge those thoughts. Ask yourself if the situation is really as bad as you're making it out to be, and try to focus on the facts rather than your emotions. Practice gratitude: Focusing on what you're grateful for can help shift your mindset from one of stress and anxiety to one of positivity and appreciation. Seek support: Talk to a trusted friend or family member about your concerns, or consider speaking with a mental health professional if you're struggling to manage your stress and anxiety. By practicing these techniques, you can avoid making mountains out of molehills and maintain a more balanced and healthy perspective, even when things feel overwhelming. By taking action, you position yourself to thrive in any aspect of life. So, what are you waiting for, let's begin

Brief Fact Summary. The Supreme Court of the United States (Supreme Court) held that a Defendant, state of New Jersey (Defendant) statute, which prohibited other states from disposing of solid and liquid waste in New Jersey, violated the Commerce Clause of the United States Constitution (Constitution). Synopsis of Rule of Law. State laws, which regulate commercial activity, may not favor in-state interests over out-of-state interests. Facts. A New Jersey law prohibited the importation of solid or liquid waste that originated or was collected from outside of the State. The stated purpose of the statute was to protect the quality of the environment of New Jersey. Private landfill operators challenged the constitutionality of the law. The State Supreme Court held that the statute advanced vital environmental objectives. Issue. Did the New Jersey waste importation statute violate the Commerce Clause? Held. Yes. The judgment of the State Supreme Court is reversed. Protectionism measures can be unconstitutional for their means as well as their ends. Whatever the purpose of the statute, it may not be accomplished by discriminating against articles of out-of-state commerce, unless there is some reason, apart from their out-of-state origin, for doing so. On its face, the statute imposes on out-of-state commerce the full burden of conserving the state’s landfill space. The statute violates the principle of non-discrimination both on its face and by its effect. Dissent. Justice William Rehnquist (J. Rehnquist) stated that the Constitution does not require New Jersey to receive and dispose of solid waste from other States when doing so will inexorably increase the health problems of its citizens. Discussion. State actions that are “protectionist” in nature (i.e., favoring in-state interests at the expense of out-of-state interests) are generally unconstitutional. In this case, the Supreme Court explains that state statutes need not be proven purposefully protectionist in order to be held unconstitutional. A state statute may also be regarded as unconstitutional protectionist legislation if it is only discriminatory on its face.

January 6, 2023 Researchers analyzed hundreds of human remains from the Chincha culture in Peru going back as far at 1000 CE in large mortuary structures to study the use of fingerprinting red pigment on skulls in funerary rituals. They found different kinds of red paint were used and only certain people were painted. Using X-ray powder diffraction, X-ray fluorescence spectrometry, and laser ablation ICP-MS, techniques, they found that 24 of the samples came from iron based ochres like hematite, 13 came from mercury based cinnabar, and one was a combination. Cinnabar came from hundreds of miles away and the hematite came from local sources. Most of those whose skulls were painted were adult males. Bones of women and children who had healed traumatic injuries and those whose skulls were modified as babies were also painted. They used textiles, leaves and their hands to apply the pigment. It appears that the painters also entered the mortuaries to paint those who had been desecrated during the European conquest The research is published in the Journal of Anthropological Archaeology.

In biochemistry, polysaccharides are relatively complex "unsweet" carbohydrates. Polysaccharides are polymers made up of many monosaccharides joined together (hence poly-saccharides). They are therefore very large, often branched, molecules. Properties include insolubility in water and not forming crystals. Examples include starch, cellulose, and glycogen. Polysaccharides have the general formula: |Table of contents| Starches are are polymers of glucose. Amylose consists of a linear chain of several hundred of glucose molecules. Amylopectine is a branched molecules made of several thousand of glucose units. Starches are insoluble in water. They can be digested by hydrolysis done by amylases. Potato, rice, wheat, and maize are major sources of starch in the human diet. Glycogen is the storage form of glucose in animals. It is a branched polymer of glucose. Glycogen can be broken down to form substrates for respiration, through the process of glycogenolysis. This involves the breaking of most of the C-O-C bonds between the glucose molecules by the addition of a phosphate, rather than a water as in hydrolysis. This process yields phosphorylated glucose molecules, which can be metabolized with a savings of one ATP molecule. The structural components of plants are formed primarily from cellulose. Wood is largely cellulose and lignin, while paper and cotton are nearly pure cellulose. Cellulose is a polymer made with repeated glucose units.

Democracy’s ability to generate its own support is itself an outcome that cannot be ignored.’ Support the statement with examples. Democracy is the most popular form of government as it allows people to participate in the process of electing their leaders, who run the country in their name. This right to choose gives people a sense of power which garners great support for democracy . The system in itself is such that it is preferred by the masses over other forms of rule like dictatorship or military rule. Some other features of democracy that make it generate support for itself are given below: - Accountability : it produces a government that is accountable to the citizens, and responsive to the needs and expectations of the citizens. - Transparency : . People have the right and the means to examine the process of decision making. This is known as transparency. This factor is often missing from a non-democratic government. - Democracy ensures political equality , each voter has the same value, irrespective of his/her background. - Inclusion : Democracy accommodates social diversity. It ensures people from diverse backgrounds are included in all walks of life. Their rights are protected by law. - Right to Information : People can keep a check on the workings of the government by asking questions and seeking information about any matter.

The term location generally implies a higher degree of certainty than place, the latter often indicating an entity with an ambiguous boundary, relying more on human or social attributes of place identity and sense of place than on geometry. - Laos - Territory in southeast Asia, ruled since 1975 by the Sathalanalat Paxathipatai Paxaxon Lao - Latvia - Territory in north central Europe, ruled since 1990 by the Latvijas Republika - Lebanon - Territory in southwest Asia, ruled since 1946 by the al-Jumhūrīyah al-Lubnānīyah - Libya - Territory in northern Africa, ruled since 2016 by the Government of National Accord - Lithuania - Territory in north central Europe, ruled since 1991 by the Lietuvos Respublika - London - Capital of Great Britain - Los Angeles - The City of Angels - Louisiana - The Pelican State - Lesotho - Territory in southern Africa, ruled since 1966 by the Muso oa Lesotho - Liberia - Territory in western Africa, ruled since 1986 by the Republic of Liberia - Liechtenstein - Territory in central Europe, ruled since 1866 by the Fürstentum Liechtenstein - Lima - Capital of Peru, founded 1535 - Luxembourg - Territory in northwestern Europe, ruled since 1944 by the Groussherzogtum Lëtzebuerg The introductory paragraph uses material from the Wikipedia article "Location" as of 12 Sep 2018, which is released under the Creative Commons Attribution-Share-Alike License 3.0.

The pharmaceutical products that remain after biological treatment are at low concentrations where bacteria usually do not directly produce enzymes to initiate biodegradation. We rely instead on co-metabolism or non-specific enzymes. In co-metabolism, enzymes produced by the system's microbes while degrading plentiful organics also break down bonds in the pharmaceuticals. Once enzyme actions start to work on the product, it is often transformed into less harmful forms and starts to degrade through biomediated or environmental chemical transformations. Current discussions involve using oxidation, carbon adsorption, UV treatment, or engineered enzymes or microbes. The big question is can any be used in cost-effective manner with such a low concentration of target substrates. If not, could an activated carbon filter concentrate enough of the pharmaceuticals to allow for efficient treatment via oxidation, enzyme, or biological treatment in a separate unit. At Aster Bio, we first worked with domestic wastewater with high concentrations of pharmaceuticals when we developed a program to improve biological waste treatment at a camp for special needs children. Due to high use of various pharmaceuticals by the children, the small biological treatment system had trouble maintaining any kind of stable biomass. We looked at various organisms having the capabilities to degrade a wide range of pharmaceutical compounds (they are commonly found in pharmaceutical wastewater treatment plants) while being able to grow readily on domestic waste. Using a simple routine dose of the microbial blend, we were able to establish a biomass that was resistant to the ever changing and relatively high concentrations of pharmaceuticals in the camp wastewater. This in concept would be similar to a biological treatment process that could be used on pharmaceuticals concentrated on activated carbon - where naturally occurring microbes can be harnessed to directly degrade or co-metabolize pharmaceuticals once critical concentrations are reached.

Although the existence of technology can facilitate many affairs and jobs, many experts argue that the use of technology has created an imbalance between school and life. You must be able to use technology well in order to help balance your life. Here are tips for using technology to balance your education and life. Use Technology to Manage Your Priorities You should be able to make a priority to-do list, including in relation to education, work, hobbies, and family. Leveraging technology can help you prepare important schedules and manage your time. Using Technology For Better Communication Communication is one of the important aspects of life and technology has helped many people to communicate. One of the ways is by activating notifications for urgent and important emails. This allows you to more quickly respond to incoming messages. Not only that, you should also prevent useless apps from sending notifications. Using Different Ways To Get Education Technology has made many things easier to learn as long as you have access to that education. Nowadays online courses have grown rapidly which allow you to not have to physically attend classes. You only need to take the time at any time to listen to explanations from teachers and mentors via videos. Especially for those of you who are too busy at work and don’t have time to take courses at educational institutions. Even if it’s done online, you still need to pay the tuition fee. The next problem arises and makes many people not willing to take the course because it is expensive and can burden their finances. Utilizing Technology To Be On Time You can use alarms to make sure you wake up on time and get reminders to do certain things. Many apps can allow you to schedule tasks and send you reminders. Technology is one thing that makes it easier for many parties. So don’t let technology unbalance your life and education.

With National Health IT Week underway, the question posed by HIMSS is: What is the value of health IT? A clear answer is data freedom. health it: what is it all about? before defining data freedom, it is good to define health information technology (it). health it is: - systems to support the delivery of patient care - infrastructure to enable the delivery of patient care - applications to record, analyze, and coordinate the delivery of patient care - networks to exchange and share relevant and approved information to deliver patient care the final element may seem out of place yet it is essential. health it is the people who make all the systems, infrastructure, applications, and networks work efficiently and effectively, supporting the care providers who care for patients and their families. ultimately, it is about people. data freedom: the value of health it on to data freedom. data freedom is: - a responsibility. it is a responsibility to protect patient data from unwanted release and exposure. it is also about transparency in letting people know what data is being tracked and shared. - unfettered flow. patient data needs to flow responsibly to each care provider who is involved in the continuum of a patient’s care. it is a call to get relevant information to deliver high quality, informed care without duplication of tests. - efficient workflows. within any provider organization (e.g., hospital, lab, imaging center, or clinic), there are different applications. the workflow between the applications needs to work, meaning the data needs to flow seamlessly. - centered on the patient. it comes back to people. people are patients and, in those moments, they need their data accessible to store, record, and share as needed. patients need a portfolio of their relevant care data, which includes family history along with their own. freedom comes to individuals when they can have access to their own data. the value of health it is centered in data. moving it from paper to electronic formats and then empowering the electronic data to move in the directions in needs to flow. this is the value of health it.

Check Metro’s fire cleanup site and the region's wildfire recovery site for more resources and information. Between wildfires, smoky conditions and windstorms, people in Oregon have been through a lot recently. The wildfires in Oregon have claimed eight lives and another 16 people are missing according the Oregon Office of Emergency Management. More than 1000 homes have been destroyed and thousands of people have been evacuated. If your property has been damaged – whether from wildfire or wind – you’re probably thinking about cleanup. Help is on the way. But right now, the best way to protect your health is to wait to clean up. "When the air has cleared and it's safe for our employees to return to work, we will be ready to help,” said Metro Council President Lynn Peterson. “At this point, we're urging people to leave their debris alone – wait for information about asbestos screening and safe removal of anything that might be hazardous to the people who make sure the debris is safely disposed of." Metro is working with government partners to find ways to dispose of burned materials and wildfire ash that protect your health, workers’ health and the health of our communities. Wildfire debris and ash can be very hazardous. When wildfire burns houses, sheds and other structures, it incinerates hazardous materials that end up in the ash. This ash can contain toxic chemicals like pesticides, motor oil and paint. Older houses may have asbestos, a dangerous substance that can cause health problems if inhaled. In the aftermath of a wildfire disaster, downed power lines and sharp objects can also be buried in the debris. In order to clean up your property safely, you will need a professional to identify electrical and structural hazards, as well as any toxic chemicals or asbestos fibers. The Oregon Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) is working to make it as easy as possible to get fire-affected properties assessed for safe removal of debris. Staff will be ready to help when wildfire conditions improve. Until your property can be checked for hazards, do not attempt to remove fire debris. Do not use a leaf blower to remove ash, as it can make hazardous chemicals airborne. And do not involve children in any part of wildfire debris cleanup. This is for your health, the health of your neighbors and the health of people who will handle the debris once it’s ready for disposal.

Imagine molecules and atoms as a bunch of drunks in a room. If they don’t bump into each other, no reaction will happen. There’s more than an Avogadro’s number of molecules used in any lab-intended reaction to make sure the molecules bump into each other. Proteins react whenever they bump into another molecule that fits their active site. Molecules fitting into an active site is like fitting Legos, puzzle pieces, or locks and keys. If the pieces don’t fit, there will be no reaction. The lock and key analogy often is favored because the protein typically changes shape after another molecule fits into its active site. Not all reactive sites are identified and understood. Whenever you see a double-bonded atom (often oxygen) and the same atom negatively charged with a single bond, and both atoms bonded to the same central atom, imagine they’re spinning, the double-bond and the single-bond are switching many times per second. This goes to the stability of the molecular species, like peddling a bike stabilizes it or like a gyroscope. Aldehydes aren’t going to give up their double-bonded oxygen or single-bonded hydrogen. Fluorine is a “skinny slut”. It tends to take electrons whenever it can. It’s one of the smallest atoms and is the most electronegative. Some weird triangular molecules occur when boron is involved. Predictions for reactions based on the Periodic Table fall apart after Row 3, and get worse as you go down the Table. Noble gasses don’t react because they have a full octet of electrons in their outer shell. It’s been traditionally considered “noble” amongst human beings not to react. After taking microbiology, you’ll understand the “smell test”. If it doesn’t stink, it’s probably okay to eat. The molecular properties of water are a miracle. When in doubt, explain anything and everything by citing hydrogen bonding in water. Leave a Reply

Lloyd Ferguson, the first African American to receive a Ph.D. in chemistry from the University of California, Berkeley, was born February 9, 1918, in Oakland, California. Growing up in Oakland, Ferguson was always passionate about school, particularly science. In the eighth grade, he bought a chemistry set which allowed him to do experiments and create substances such as gunpowder. Raised by his parents and grandparents, Ferguson was forced to get a job while in high school because his father lost his job during the Great Depression. Ferguson delivered newspapers, and after high school, he worked as a laborer for the Works Progress Administration (WPA) to save money for college. Ferguson attended the University of California, Berkeley earning a Bachelor of Science in chemistry in 1940 and a Ph.D. in chemistry in 1943. One of his main contributions at Berkeley was developing a compound that could lose and gain oxygen rapidly. This compound was a type of hemoglobin and was later used as a source of oxygen for submarines. He went on to study the sense of taste through chemistry. Ferguson joined the faculty of North Carolina Agricultural and Technical College in Greensboro, North Carolina in 1943. In 1945, he moved to Washington D.C. to join the faculty at Howard University, where he chaired the chemistry department during the early 1960s. While at Howard, Ferguson created the first doctoral program in chemistry at an African American university. He left Howard University in 1965 to become the chair of the chemistry department at California State University at Los Angeles, where he remained until retiring in 1986. Ferguson was a member of the American Chemical Society and did research for the National Institutes of Health. He lives in Southern California. He passed away on November 30, 2011. He was 93 years old.

The new versions of Blender have changed the way of defining the Boolean operations saw to make a nut in version 2.49. This form of modeling, based on three basic operations with volumes topological, is now under the concept of “modifiers”. Boolean operations are three: - Add the sumar of volúmenes - Subtract between volumes (deduct) - Intersect or determine the common. First select one of the objects that we want to apply the Boolean operation. We will use our case study on a sphere and a cube as examples. We will enter the window that allows us to add modifiers to the menu “Object modifiers“. The first and last (Boolean operation) are independent of the first selected object. It's the same sum to B to add B to A. Analogously occurs at the time of obtaining the intersection of two bodies. But to subtract or remove a volume part is determining if the object you select first. Modoficador indicate the type we want to add: Modifier “Boolean” column is “Generate”. Automatically displays a new tab in which you can adjust the settings change. In the window “Object” we can select the second object required to perform the Boolean operation. If we select with the mouse on this window will open a menu with the objects in the scene that we can use Boolean operation. The last step is to select the Boolean operation between the three available. The results can be seen in the following images: In this case, as we discussed, the result depends on the order established for the elements. Must be connected to post a comment.

Air conditioners are designed to help keep you cool during summer’s heat but in fact contribute to it being hot outside. Researchers from the University of Wisconsin-Madison are saying that emissions from air conditioners are contributing to global warming. By running our air conditioners we are increasing fossil fuel use and releasing more emissions into the atmosphere. According to their research, air conditioning could cause up to 1,000 additional deaths due to poor air quality in the Eastern United States alone. They looked at five different models to see how increased energy consumption during the summer will affect human health. Jonathan Patz, a professor at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, says there’s no doubt that air conditioning saves lives during heat waves however, the trade-off is worse air quality. If you want to do your part to reduce emissions but also stay cool, check out the following tips: • Make sure there’s a fan in every room. Ceiling fans work best. • Keep curtains and windows closed to reduce heat from the sun • Increase circulation by placing a window fan to suck out air with all bedroom windows and doors open. • Find an energy-efficient air conditioner • Install a light-coloured roof • Improve insulation Here’s what you can do for personal comfort: • Drink water often • Wear light coloured and loose fitting clothing • Spend time on lower floors as heat rises • Spend time near the water • Find shade • Cut down on sweets, caffeine and alcohol While it is true that you may have to put a little more effort in to lower your contribution to global warming and still stay cool in hot conditions, its certainly sounds better than the alternative, which is gambling with your health.

Herd Immunity Irrelevant for Vaccines The recently proposed vaccine mandate is not justified by any convincing data. The herd immunity argument is being presented as more of a mathematical concept than a biological one. Herd immunity applies to naturally acquired immunity and has never been proven to have any relevance to vaccines. Epidemics that vaccines were said to have resolved were already in decline from natural herd immunity before the vaccines came out. Generally, it’s not exposure to disease that matters as much as how your body handles disease, and there are definitely natural ways to build a strong immune system. Big pharma is just another crony capitalist-rigged system that is all about profit before people. It doesn’t promote natural prevention and cures because you’re worth more to big pharma sick than healthy. Look at how many other pharmaceutical products treat one disease, while at the same time causing other problems. So it shouldn’t be a surprise if the same is true for vaccines. Even if herd immunity did validly apply to vaccines, the 95 percent threshold would be impossible to achieve, since classmates are not the only people kids come in contact with. All in all, vaccines should only be voluntary, and those choosing vaccination should be given an informed consent form to sign that is honest and upfront about the risks versus benefits and the ingredients in the vaccine.

In the realm of PCB assembly and manufacturing, there are three different methods that come with printing the prototype PCB’s legend. The legend is what the engineer uses to figure out the component designators, switch settings, and test points — all helpful components need when assembling, testing, and servicing the prototype circuit boards. However, there are more details that go into this legend, including gold plating. Here is a beginner’s guide to this specific PCB fabrication process. What is gold plating, more specifically gold finger? Gold finger is the gold-plated connectors that are on the edges of the printed circuit board prototype. They are similar to fingers in that they are long and narrow. What are they made from? The specifications for these have to be exact; flash gold must be used and the thickness cannot go over 3Us to 50Us. This is so the flash gold, which is one of the hardest golds available, will last a long amount of time and won’t need repair. What is their purpose? Gold fingers are edge connector contacts and are used to electroplate pads onto the board. The idea behind a gold finger is to help protect the printed circuit board prototypes from wear and tear. If applied correctly, with the right thickness, they are expected to last upwards of 1,000 cycles before there is any need of repair. How are gold fingers used? These little fingers are quite versatile, and they have many different uses depending on their intended purpose. Some of these uses include: - Provides connections for network transfer data. - Attaches specialty adaptors. - Connects different devices to the board. - Can be used as audio adaptors. Are there specific design specifications? Yes. As we mentioned previously, there are some specifications depending on the need and use of the board. However, despite this, there are some design rules that must be followed no matter the board’s intended purpose. This includes: - No plated through holes can be included anywhere near the gold fingers. - No soldermask or screen printing can be included near the gold fingers. - The gold fingers should always be placed facing outward of the board’s center. If you are interested in learning more about how these interesting little gold fingers work in the world of printed circuit boards, please contact our professionals today.

Posted By : “How many times do I have to tell you to finish your homework early so that you can sleep earlier and be more focused in school the next day!” You may have given your child similar instructions over and over until you are sick of repeating. But it just seems that your child isn’t sick of hearing the same thing. In fact, is he/she even listening at all?! These behaviours may look like it is an outright act of rebellion. After all, how could it be that a child is unable to understand the same instructions even when told repeatedly? The truth is, there are children who are unable to understand verbal instructions, no matter how many times it is being repeated. The underlying skill required for this ability is Verbal Sequencing. Children who are weaker in this skill tend to be unable to understand relationships between ideas and concepts. “Why do I have to finish my homework earlier to be more focused tomorrow?” One academic area that relies on this skill is reading comprehension. Reading comprehension requires the grasping of sequential flow of events happening in the story. When a child is unable to relate the sequences, he/she would not be able to get a logical flow of the entire story. Answering the questions would also require more time and effort (as the child has to reread the story). Verbal sequencing skill is also required to understand materials taught in class and follow the pace of teaching. If this skill is not strengthen, children would find it a chore to go to school because they just can’t understand the things that are being taught. However, with good verbal sequencing skills, children would be able to learn effectively and would enjoy listening in class! Interesting Fact: As babies, we acquire language through the use of verbal sequencing. Learning new words phonologically requires the ability to sequence verbal information. This suggests that verbal sequencing is an innate skill that most of us are born with! To find out about your child’s Verbal Sequencing ability, REGISTER for our Complimentary Learning Assessment.

Online learning can offer a wide range of benefits. However, the knowledge that a student is able to acquire this way depends upon not only the course material that is offered but also the practices used to provide them with the necessary information. Here are just a few of the best practices of online training which help to better facilitate the elearning process. A supportive elearning environment and community. Teachers and elearning establishments should encourage a strong sense of community amongst their online students. This will enable students to interact with one another and the instructors, as well as with the resources provided, which will make for an enhanced educational experience. Clear expectations between pupil and teacher. Students should be aware of what they will be receiving from the virtual class instruction, and both parties should know the preferred method of communication and delivery of the core curriculum. For example, a teacher may prefer to email assignments to students, while another might choose to deliver it via the elearning site instead. Also, it’s best to have clear expectations about how long each item of coursework should take to complete. Utilization of asynchronous and synchronous activities. It’s important to incorporate activities that are more interactive, as well as those that require the student to brainstorm and research a topic in depth. Thanks to the internet students can now attend virtual live courses, as well as complete coursework offline that can enable them to delve into a specific subject or skill set. Use of all of the online resources that are available. To get the most out of the elearning experience both the teacher and the student should take full advantage of the resources that are available online. It’s best if instructors use the platform that has been designed to administer coursework and interact with the student, while the student should be able to fully benefit from their virtual education by using the research tools and curriculum that is available to them. Online training can allow teachers to directly connect with their students without any of the limitations that are generally placed upon the educational process by traditional instruction methods. What’s more, when best practices are utilized students have access to a wealth of information quickly and conveniently, anywhere and at any time. This can ensure that the elearning system is mutually beneficial. Improve your employee, partner and customer training with our enterprise-ready learning management system.

The common consensus is that we are “free” as human beings; yet, there are repercussions to every decision we make, which raises the issue of whether we are really free. Inasmuch as our decisions have an impact on our identity and character, we become the products of those choices. As a result, it is essential that we exercise caution in deciding how to make use of our freedom. Coming of age and starting to exercise our independence, we want to be free of as many restrictions as possible (parents, restricted finances, curfews, etc.) as soon as feasible. The haste with which we seek freedom “from” or do as we want impacts our freedom “for,” which should be given more importance. Obtaining freedom “for” Obtaining freedom “for” sets us apart as individuals who are capable of greatness on a variety of levels. We must realize that every time we attempt to be free from something, we should be motivated by a desire to be free for something else. For some individuals, achieving independence “from” a restriction is a lifetime struggle, particularly when the restraint is financial. When faced with such adversity, our capacity to take a stance becomes critical. “When is the best time to pursue further education in order to get a better job than the one we now hold?” we may question ourselves as an example. If we continue to pursue freedom “from,” we increase the likelihood of losing ourselves. This prevents us from building on our freedom “for,” thus restricting our reach and options. We seem to be going about in circles, escaping one obstacle just to be confronted with another. There is no such thing as true freedom in this case. In the end, while we seek freedom, we should ask ourselves what we want to do with the freedom. When it comes to spending our freedom, we must use our intellect, since we are human. The pursuit of freedom for the sake of short-term gains only is equivalent to squandering freedom.

Tabla de contenidos What is traction alopecia? Definition 2023. Traction alopecia or pulling alopecia is caused by hair loss due to repetitive and constant stretching in our daily life, which causes hair damage. This can affect everyone, regardless of gender or age. The hair is stretched from the roots and weakened by this tension. Over time, the follicles will be irreversibly destroyed. In their place is scar-like tissue, from which hair cannot grow irreversibly. What causes traction alopecia? The cause that affects this type of baldness are the female group, who notice the main symptoms of this terrible habit by making use of too tight hairstyles, use of dyes and some extensions for, which translates into the hair follicles are weakening over time by this bad habit. Women love to have their hair well groomed. Since we were little, our mother used to braid our hair and straighten it a lot. This is one of the reasons and causes why we have been losing our hair. So if you wear braids or use chemical styling agents regularly, you may be putting a lot of stress on your roots. This is the main reason. Sometimes it is assimilated with headaches that alleviate hair loss. It can be reversed in the early stages of the problem, although if this pulling continues for months and years, and time passes, the hair loss is irreversible and permanent. Educational treatment for the application of loose hairstyles. Treatment of traction alopecia 2023 - Making dreadlocks in our hair. They tangle our hair. - The headband is too tight or we make too tight pigtails in our hair. - Braids to hug on the head. - Do not use a curling iron or straightener every day. - Extensions are poorly implemented on our head. - PRP as aesthetic options, to have growth factors in the areas that we lose hair and be able to regenerate it quickly. - Wear your hair loose and natural. It is always necessary to follow the habits to prevent hair loss mentioned above, since it is very easy to appear. If your hair has already started to fall out, the first step is to stop using excessive pulling motions. You may also be interested in

Once there lived an ant and a grasshopper in a grassy meadow. All day long the ant would work hard, collecting grains of wheat. The grasshopper would look at her and laugh. ‘Why do you work so hard, dear ant?’ he would say. ‘Come, rest awhile, listen to my song. Summer is here, the days are long and bright. Why waste the sunshine in labour and toil?’ The ant would ignore him: “I am helping to lay up food for the winter, and I recommend you to do the same.” (The Ant and the Grasshopper) Do you remember Aesop’s Fable? It has been used to teach children the virtues of hard work and the perils of improvidence. Moral: it is wise to worry about tomorrow today. Life teaches you a completely different lesson. From families to corporations to nations, the grasshoppers always have the upper hand. The savings of the cautious and toilful people will be decimated each and every time it is needed to make up for prodigal sons, failed projects and, yes you’ve got it, ruined banks and states. While most people would surely acknowledge that it is wise to anticipate and worry about the future and they will encourage you to save for the future, you won’t see many artists, conquerors, entrepreneurs or innovators actually worrying about the future in that precise way you are expected to do in Aesop’s fable. They are more like the grasshopper. And what nobody will tell you is that you are not expected to be saving for yourself, but to pay for those other people’s debts and failures, the ones deriving from creation, conquest, and sometimes pure insouciance. And here comes my recommendation: if you have the courage, do not save for tomorrow. Be the grasshopper! Featured Image: Jules-Joseph Lefebvre, Detail of The Grasshopper (La Cigale) painted in 1872

In recent years, building insulation has become an increasingly important topic. Properly insulating your home reduces heating costs, which means lower CO2 emissions. Today, the market is dominated by conventional insulation materials made of plastics or mineral fiber. A research group at the University of Göttingen has long been researching manufacturing processes for products made of popcorn that are sustainable and efficient. Now, forest scientists have managed to develop a process by which insulation boards made of “granulated” popcorn can be produced that have excellent thermal insulation properties and good protection against fire. This granular material is a plant-based, environmentally friendly, and sustainable alternative to the products derived from petroleum currently used in the industry. Unlike petroleum-based insulation, popcorn is sustainable because it is made from renewable resources, sturdy enough to enable re-use, and easy to recycle when it comes to the end of its useful life. Its water repellency can also make it useful in other applications, such as insulation and packaging. It could be an excellent substitute for expanded polystyrene (EPS) foam that is found not only in insulation but also in the millions of disposable food containers and shipping materials discarded annually. Polystyrene is cheap and lightweight but also non-biodegradable and difficult to recycle. According to the university, the new foam absorbs heat better than EPS, is much less flammable, is used to produce biogas, or even utilized as animal feed once discarded. “This new process, based on that of the plastics industry, enables the cost-effective production of insulation boards at an industrial scale,” explains the head of the research group, Professor Alireza Kharazipour. “Especially in the field of insulation in construction, this ensures that natural insulation materials are no longer just niche products.” In addition, the new popcorn products have water-repellent properties, which opens up even more opportunities for practical applications and extends their useful life. The technology has recently been licensed to Germany’s Bachl Group for the commercial use of the process and the products for building insulation.

Artificial intelligence (AI) and its implementation were among the five selected thematic areas of mutual interest discussed by the Indian and German scientific experts here. Areas such as AI for sustainability, healthcare, autonomous robotics, trustworthy AI, and mathematical foundation were deliberated upon at the joint virtual workshop by the Indo-German Science and Technology Centre (IGSTC), together with the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research and India’s Department of Science and Technology on September 6 and 7. The workshop was organised as a follow-up of a decision to strengthen and enhance the cooperation in the field of artificial intelligence taken during the governmental consultations between two countries in November 2019, a DST release said. The Indian co-chair of the IGSTC and DST’s international division head, S.K. Varshney, and German co-chair Katherin (who goes by a single name) stressed on strengthening the academia and industry partnership and enhancing cooperation between the two countries that would help the society, particularly in the field of AI, Machine learning, and robotics. DST’s Frontier and Futuristic Technologies division chief, Dr Murali Mohan, said that globally AI is a very active research topic, and efforts should be made so that India and Germany can cooperate and augment the cooperation. “There are numerous issues to address like upgrading of the technology, skill development and job creation in this field. Academia and industry need to be leveraged in this field, and products need to be geared up,” he said. The workshop was accompanied by two main plenary lectures by Professor Rupak Majumdar from the German side and Professor Subhasis Chaudhuri from India and followed by invited lectures and plenary sessions, the release added.

Al-Mada: Jurnal Agama, Sosial, dan Budaya (Jan 2022) Yoga Asanas as an Effort to Reduce Anxiety on Online Learning During Pandemic in Stikes Buleleng Students The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic has attacked many sectors, including the education sector, which requires students to take part in online learning. This learning requires students to do assignments and achievements in accordance with the profile of graduates coupled with the unfinished pandemic situation causing students to experience more anxiety, this requires complementary therapies, one of which is yoga. This study aims to see differences in anxiety levels in the control group and the group given the yoga asanas treatment. The research method used is the pre-posttest design. Where the samples were taken were 23 control groups and 23 treatment groups. Control and treatment respondents were given a questionnaire first, then the control group was given IEC to reduce anxiety, while the treatment group was given yoga asanas which were carried out for 3 weeks. Furthermore, a posttest was given to assess the differences in the respondents' anxiety levels. The results showed that there were differences in the level of anxiety before and after in the control group (p-value 0.16) and the treatment group (p-value 0.001). Then the results of the different test analyses showed that there was a difference in the level of anxiety between the control group and the group given yoga asanas (p-value 0.01). The conclusion is that there are effective yoga asanas to reduce anxiety levels in students who take online learning during the pandemic.

Libraries at University of Nebraska-Lincoln Date of this Version This article traces the history of the relationship of papermaking and paper to libraries over time. Paper was first made in China and is traditionally considered one of that nation’s four greatest inventions, along with gun powder, printing, and the compass. Papermaking was often associated with archives in its early development in China, as well as when it was introduced to Japan, where it came to be a part of some Shinto and Buddhist temples, and later governmental agencies. Under Islam, the availability of paper was linked to increased literacy and growth of libraries. In early modern Europe, before the widespread use of wood in the papermaking process, libraries and archives were part of an “economy of paper” with paper at times being in short supply. In the modern era, the world of papermaking did not intersect much with the world of the library, which made progress with the problem of brittle books, one of its greatest challenges, slow, though recent efforts of government, industry, scientists, and representatives of the library have produced positive results. The damage caused by wood-based paper in libraries was mirrored by the environmental damage caused by wood-based papermaking in communities. The history of papermaking and libraries demonstrates the importance of understanding the technologies which support the library, while also advocating effectively to the representatives of all its sources of support in ways which promote the values of the library and its associated community.

Swiss Re Institute - Endemic Covid: the end of the pandemic? As the world starts to reopen and we grapple with other, immediate global concerns, the virus's fate has only one outcome: it will become endemic in our society. Each major variant so far has been more transmissible than its predecessors and brings different symptoms and differing resistances and susceptibilities to vaccines or treatments. Resurgent waves of breakthrough infections, driven most recently by the Omicron variant, in vaccinated populations with waning immunity, remain an ongoing risk to economic recovery and healthcare. There is no hard and fast definition of an epidemic, pandemic, or endemic disease. Individual countries will likely declare themselves out of the pandemic or having reached a state of endemicity, before there are wider global statements made by international public health bodies, such as the World Health Organization (WHO). There are already signs of countries such as Denmark, the UK and elsewhere in Europe are approaching this stage in early 2022. And yet, there are still challenges. As we write, countries in Asia and Oceania such as Hong Kong and New Zealand are seeing record case numbers and deaths are climbing. It is too early to say that the world has defeated COVID-19. Our report - entitled Endemic Covid: the end of the pandemic? - discusses some of the many factors which will chart the future course of this global disease, as well as outline further considerations for insurers.

An updated report from Environmental Defense Fund and conservation partners, including Diné C.A.R.E., Native American Voters Alliance and Grand Canyon Trust, sheds light on the amount of natural gas wasted on Navajo Nation lands, and offers recommendations to policymakers for addressing this problem and its negative effects on human health, the environment and economy. The analysis estimates the amount of methane burned, vented or leaked across the oil and gas supply chain within the Navajo Nation and quantifies the economic value of that lost gas based on market prices. Methane emissions take a disproportionate toll on Navajo communities, and the numbers speak for themselves: - Oil and gas companies on Navajo Nation lands emit 22,000 tons of methane per year, the equivalent of 1.5 billion cubic feet of natural gas. - The volume of lost natural gas is worth $4.8 million and causes the Navajo Nation to forgo up to $1.2 million in tax and royalty revenue every year. - 5.2% of natural gas produced on Navajo Nation lands is emitted, more than double the national average. - The methane pollution problem on the Navajo Nation carries the same climate impact as 400,000 automobiles per year. Oil and gas has been produced on the Navajo Nation since the 1920s. Unfortunately, widespread waste of these energy resources has carried significant consequences for Navajo communities and their environment. The Navajo Nation Environmental Protection Agency has the authority to enact policies to curb pollution like methane from oil and gas production and has begun to do so. According to the International Energy Agency, up to 50 percent of methane emissions could be avoided at no net cost to producers.

Projector Throw Distance Calculator What is throw distance for a projector? A projector's distance from the lens to the screen surface is called the Throw Distance. The throw distance and the size of the image it produces on the screen are proportional to each other based on the optics of the lens. As you increase the distance between the projector lens and the screen the image will also increase. How far do you put a projector from the screen? A projector's distance from a screen and the size of the image it produces are proportional to each other based on the optics of the lens. As you increase the distance between the projector and a screen the image will also increase. If your projector has a zoom lens, the lens can be adjusted to change the size of the screen image without changing the distance of the projector. Since each projector lens is different, an online projection calculator tool will help you calculate the size of an image on a screen relative to how far the projector is placed from screen. What is a throw ratio for a projector? For any given projector, the width of the image (W) relative to the throw distance (D) is know as the throw ratio D/W or distance over width. So for example, the most common projector throw ratio is 2.0. This means that for each foot of image width, the projector needs to be 2 feet away or D/W = 2/1 = 2.0. So if I'm using a projector with a throw ratio of 2.0 and I have an image width of 5 feet, then my throw distance must be 10 feet. So the throw ratio is a simple formula that let's you easily compute throw distance or image width given that you know one of these measurements. A projector zoom lens will have two different throw ratios, one for the minimum zoom setting and one for the maximum zoom setting. What is considered a short throw projector? A short throw projector is a projector with a lens that has a throw ratio of 0.4 (distance/width) or less. These projectors are ideal for rear screen applications where the area behind the screen is limited, or for a wall mounted application where the projector will be mounted within 1 or 2 feet from the screen. The goal of these projectors is to produce as large of an image within the shortest amount of space between the projector and the screen.

Ursulaea macvaughii is a rare plant. A member of the bromeliad, or pineapple family, with only one other species in its genus, it has a small range of native distribution from southern Jalisco through Colima to western Michoacán. The Vallarta Botanical Garden is one of only a few botanical gardens in the world with examples of this plant on public display. Currently eight healthy specimens of U. macvaughii grace the VBG’s collections, but until now, none have yet bloomed. The first few purple flowers began to open yesterday and more will surely follow over the next several days with a peak bloom predicted by the end of the first week of October. Buds of this plant are encrusted in a frost-like white texture and the pinkish bracts from which the inflorescence emerges are elegant enough for a swan to envy. Plant enthusiasts are encouraged to visit this rare treat and photographers are invited to take advantage of an opportunity to capture images of this spectacular jewel of our natural world. Even after the purple petals fall away, the large showy berries of this plant are still a sight to behold and will delight observant visitors for months to come. In addition to extensive and diverse displays of bromeliads, the VBG’s other notable collections include orchids, palms, oaks, magnolias, cacti and much more. Plants at the Garden can be enjoyed in inspiring landscaped grounds, stunning plant conservatories, and adventuresome trails through a magnificent native forest preserve… it’s a place where Mexican plants meet the imagination!

The small intestine or small bowel is the part of the gastrointestinal tract between the stomach and the large intestine, and is where most of the end absorption of food takes place. Tumors in the small intestine may block the flow of food and affect digestion. As the tumor gets bigger, the blockages may cause pain in the abdomen. A slowly bleeding tumor may lead to anemia. Digested blood may cause the stool to become black or tarry. An obstruction—when the flow of food is completely blocked—may cause intense pain, nausea and vomiting and typically requires immediate surgery. If there is a reason to suspect you have a small intestinal cancer, the doctor will use one or more methods to find out if the disease is really present. Medical history and physical exam When a doctor takes your medical history, you will be asked questions about your symptoms and risk factors. The doctor will specifically ask about symptoms that could be caused by a mass in the intestines and examine you, concentrating on your abdomen looking for any swelling or sounds of the bowel trying to overcome a blockage. If your doctor suspects an intestine cancer, he or she will likely order some blood tests, such as: Other methods of screening include:

Wearing a prosthesis can be a life-changing experience for many individuals who have lost a limb due to injury or illness. However, it is important to be aware of potential issues or concerns that may arise while wearing a prosthesis. Here are some things to watch for: Proper fit: The prosthesis should fit snugly but not be too tight or too loose. A poorly fitting prosthesis can cause discomfort, irritation, and even injury. Skin irritation: The skin under the prosthesis may become red, itchy, or sore. This can be caused by friction, pressure, or moisture. Proper cleaning and care of the skin, as well as using the right type of socks or liners, can help prevent skin irritation. Swelling: Swelling can occur in the residual limb, especially if the prosthesis is not fitting properly. It is important to monitor swelling and adjust the fit of the prosthesis as needed. Pain: Pain in the residual limb or in other parts of the body, such as the back or hips, can be a sign of a poorly fitting prosthesis or incorrect alignment. If pain persists, it is important to consult with a prosthetist or healthcare professional. Mobility and balance: The prosthesis should allow for proper mobility and balance. Difficulty walking or standing may be a sign of an issue with the prosthesis.Functionality: The prosthesis should allow for proper function, such as grasping or lifting objects. If the prosthesis is not functioning properly, it may need to be adjusted or repaired. Psychological adjustment: Wearing a prosthesis can be a significant psychological adjustment. It is important to be aware of any emotional or psychological concerns and seek support if needed. Overall, wearing a prosthesis requires ongoing monitoring and care. Regular check-ins with a prosthetist or healthcare professional can help ensure that the prosthesis is fitting properly and functioning well.

The scholars have believed that Yoga changed into originated out of Stone Age Shamanism. This is due to the fact there have been some cultural similarities between Mehrgarh c8i02klfa which become a Neolithic agreement and also the Modern Hinduism. The shamanistic culture of Mergarh was in fact stimulated by way of Hindu ideals, symbols and rituals from the prevailing. The historic shamanism and early Yoga had a first-rate deal of similarity for the cause both desired going beyond the human circumstance. Shamanism’s primary purpose became to heal the members who have been of their network and simultaneously act because the non secular mediators. Archaic Yoga also had similar targets as they have been network oriented they usually aimed to determine the sizable order via senses and inner imaginative and prescient which then may be applied to our each day existence. As time went on, Yoga has improved and has regarded the inmost experience. Yogis then have dedicated to a way to improve the man or woman enlightenment, healing and salvation. Yoga’s evidences were first tracked in the archeological proof which was found in stone seals exhumed at the Indus valley. Yoga postures had been traced and visible from the figures which have been illustrated in the stone seals. The artifacts were placed on History books circa 3000 B. C., which become connected to the exceptional Indus-Sarasvati Civilization which was considered the most important civilization that exist within the historical world. The Indus-Sarasvati, being a maritime society, exported items throughout Africa in addition to the Middle East. They increase sewage systems and installation geometrical brick roads and constructed multistory complexes. The Vedas are known as the oldest scripture in the world which were the ancient texts, became introduced by the Indus-Sarasvati civilization. It changed into a compilation of hymns that commends a better energy which included the oldest recorded teachings about Yoga. They have taken into consideration this the divine revelation. The intelligence of the Vedas turned into called the Pre-classical Yoga or the Vedic. This turned into defined with the aid of the ritualistic ceremonies which the Yoga practitioners had been required in an effort to go past the restrictions of the thoughts.

Annual vine climbing to 49 ft (15 m). Has large lobed leaves, tendrils, and yellow female flowers producing long cylindrical marrow-like fruit. Habitat & Cultivation Loofah is native to the tropics of Asia and Africa. It is now grown as a fruit in tropical regions around the world. It is harvested when ripe in summer. Loofah contains polysaccharides, xylan, xylose, and galactan. History & Folklore Loofah was brought from India to China in the Tang Dynasty (618–907 CE). It is best known in the West as a bathroom accessory—the fibrous skeleton makes a good skin scrubber. Medicinal Actions & Uses In Chinese medicine, the inner skeleton of the dried fruit is used to treat pain in the muscles, joints, chest, and abdomen. It is prescribed for chest infections accompanied by fever and pain, and is used to clear congested mucus. Loofah is also given to treat painful or swollen breasts. Chinese research indicates that the fresh vine has a stronger expectorant effect than the dried fruit. German research (1999) using a homeopathic preparation of the plant showed it to be as effective as a standard nasal spray for relief of hay fever.

(1779–1845). An associate justice of the U.S. Supreme Court for more than 30 years, Joseph Story was also a professor at Harvard University’s law school. Along with James Kent, Story is considered the founder of equity jurisprudence in the United States. (In law, equity is justice according to principles of fairness in cases where a mechanical application of the rules under common law would not apply or be fair.) Story was born on Sept. 18, 1779, in Marblehead, Mass. He graduated from Harvard in 1798 and practiced law in Salem, Mass., from 1801 to 1811. He was active in the Jeffersonian Republican party (later called the Democratic party) and was elected to the state legislature in 1805. He served briefly in the U.S. House of Representatives, then returned to Massachusetts to serve in the state House of Representatives and was later chosen as its speaker. In 1811, when Story was only 32 years old and without judicial experience, President James Madison appointed him to the U.S. Supreme Court. Story shared Chief Justice John Marshall’s view that the Constitution should be construed broadly in favor of expanding the power of the federal government. For example, an opinion Story wrote in 1816 in Martin vs. Hunter’s Lessee established the authority of the Supreme Court over all state courts in civil cases that involve federal statutes or treaties or the U.S. Constitution. After Marshall died in 1835, Story presided over the Court until the confirmation of Roger B. Taney as chief justice in 1836. While teaching law at Harvard from 1829 to 1845, Story delivered a series of lectures that he elaborated into nine legal commentaries. These commentaries—on the Constitution, on equity jurisprudence, and on other legal questions—had a wide influence. Story died on Sept. 10, 1845, in Cambridge, Mass.

Have you lost your wireless antenna from the back of your network card? No problem! Make one from scratch using some solder (or pliable wire) about 15 centimeter (5.9 in), and a thumbtack. The wire will act as the 'antenna' while the thumbtack will secure it in place Grab some solder (preferably thick) or some bendy wire/solder and wrap it around the point of a thumbtack. this will provide you with a small loop about that same size as the inner ‘pin’ on the back of your wireless card. Bend the wire at a 90 degree angle just under the loop you just created. this will allow for easy insertion when you place it around the inner ‘pin’ Place the wire around the pin, and wrap the remaining wire around the outside ‘threads’ where you would normally screw in the antenna. Insert the thumbtack in between the inner ‘pin’ and the small loop you made. this is to ensure the inner pin is always in contact with the solder. The other end of the wire/solder can be wrapped around any cable from the back of your computer to enhance wireless reception. - Making the end of the antenna touch the chassis of the computer may enhance reception. - The thicker the solder is, the better. - Depending on where your computer is, leaving the wire/solder dangling down from the card may also provide adequate reception. - Electric Current runs through the “pin”, and will also run through the thumbtack when a connection has been made. Play it safe; keep one hand in your pocket to prevent a current traveling through your heart. - Keep the thumbtack away from your eyes, and any chair you may wish to sit on. - Even though “Wireless” (or any radio) is non-ionizing, RFR (Radio Frequency Radiation) exposure should be minimized. If possible, shut down your computer or disable the wireless card.

BLUFBeing remote has protected the Pacific from the worst of the Covid-19 pandemic—however, the economic damage has been severe. The Pacific is dependent on international tourism which has been reduced to almost nothing by Covid-19. Money needs to be pumped into Pacific economies. Still, hardly any of the region's nations can pump money into their own economies. Further, many of them already have significant debts to China. Australia is one of the largest donors to the region and has committed $300 million as part of a Covid-19 response package. This article argues that Australia should provide a A$2 billion recovery financing facility. Over the next few years, another A$5billion post-pandemic recovery package should also be provided to be spent on infrastructure and household support. Without this aid, the region could take ten years to recover to pre-COVID levels. Fragile pacific states might seek assistance from countries whose interests are not aligned with that of Australia. Therefore, consider whether providing aid to the pacific region is in Australia's interests. - Indo-Pacific Island States Face Increasing Maritime Security Threatsv - Pacific island nations beat coronavirus, but now face economic devastation: report - Remote Pacific islands escaped the coronavirus this year. It devastated their economies anyway.V - Tourism-dependent economies are among those harmed the most by the pandemic

2 Coronal Mass Ejections Headed Towards Earth NASA says the sun erupted with two coronal mass ejections or CMEs during the evening of Feb. 5, 2013 that may glance near-Earth space. Experimental NASA research models, based on observations from the Solar Terrestrial Relations Observatory (STEREO) and ESA/NASA’s Solar and Heliospheric Observatory, show that the first CME began at 7 p.m. EST and left the sun at speeds of around 750 miles per second. The second CME began at 10:36 p.m. EST and left the sun at speeds of around 350 miles per second. Historically, CMEs of this speed and direction have been benign, NASA says. Not to be confused with a solar flare, a CME is a solar phenomenon that can send solar particles into space and reach Earth one to three days later. NASA says Earth-directed CMEs can cause a space weather phenomenon called a geomagnetic storm, which occurs when they connect with the outside of the Earth’s magnetic envelope, the magnetosphere, for an extended period of time. In the past, CMEs at this strength have had little effect. They may cause auroras near the poles but are unlikely to disrupt electrical systems on Earth or interfere with GPS or satellite-based communications systems. NOAA’s Space Weather Prediction Center is the United States Government official source for space weather forecasts, alerts, watches and warnings. VIDEO CREDIT: NASA/SDO

Free 3d model of a metal ship anchor. It is a cast metal construction, designed to keep shipping in one place above the water. Anchor is a device to keep the ship of the vessel or other water floating craft when stopping in open water. The mooring lines are used on moorage or anchorage. The main design principle is that the anchor has a prehensile ends and a lot of weight. Because of this, it is easily submerged under the water and clings to the ground. The surface of the free anchor 3d model is worn with a black iron oxide. Some places of the anchor 3d model are rust. However, this is an exactly how a typical anchor looks like, because it is regularly dipped into the water, destroying its unpainted surface. This 3d model of the classical in its form ship anchor consists of a typical for such things parts. They are rod, shank, arm and two flukes. The rod is a horizontal cylindrical bar with the two spheres at the ends. It firmly seated in the rod body, which is the basis of the anchor. At the bottom the spindle transforms into an arc shape that looks like two arms. At both ends of the arms there are flat flukes, similar to the arrowhead that increases grip with bottom ground. This anchor is sometimes called the admiralty common anchor. Lowered from a ship anchored in the water with a massive anchor chain. To do this in the very top of the spindle is tightly welded strong iron ring, which serves as basis for fixing the first link of anchor chain. 3d model of a real ship's anchor copies is meter in size. Therefore, if you choose to use this anchor in the interior rendering as a furnishing, you will likely have to reduce its size using proportional scaling. Modeled in 3ds Max 2008. Rendered with V-Ray. Please share if you like it!

It is commonly caused by other organisms, such as Trueperella pyogenes and Fusobacterium necrophorum, and there is evidence that this initial infection is required for the development of virulent footrot. Wet weather, damp pastures, and mud are predisposing factors. In milder cases, the interdigital skin is red, hairless, swollen, and moist. In severe cases, the integrity of the interdigital skin is compromised, exposing subcutaneous tissues. Suppuration and swelling of the deeper interdigital tissues may develop. Lameness can be a sign in many as 90% of affected sheep, and all four limbs may be affected. Healing is rapid when conditions dry out, but the disease may recur when conditions again become wet. Because interdigital dermatitis usually precedes a footrot outbreak, it is prudent to treat the condition as if it were footrot.

The After SEE Course is an eight-week educational project of Amics del Nepal designed for the students who appeared in the SEE (Secondary Education Examination). The participants of the project are students who gave the examination from the government schools and beneficiaries of Amics del Nepal promoted from the Experiential Learning project. The project intends to help young people during this time of transition to improve their personal and social life skills of 5C (Creativity, Critical Thinking, Communication, Collaboration, and Caring) in order to get them ready for high school. Environment and Sustainability was the theme for the session where students were exposed to the concept of environment, global warming, and sustainability through researches, guest speaker sessions, and field visits. Solid waste management and waste segregation was other important topic covered during the session, and students were able to create a school workshop on the same topic. The final event of the session was conducted on July 16th, where students presented a brief exhibition about global warming. They created a prototype of global warming and displayed information on how it is affecting people around the world. In addition, images and videos were also presented at the event, to provide more context for the topic.After the completion of the After SEE Course, students will move on to the second session based on the theme “Youth Awareness and Civic Rights” starting on the 8th of August.

Reducing disparity between income and cost of housing Given suitable land, building materials, labour and finance, it is technically possible to produce shelter. But for whom? The answer is simple: for those who can afford it. Unfortunately, the poorest quarter of the world's population cannot. The Encyclopedia of World Problems and Human Potential is a unique, experimental research work of the Union of International Associations. It is currently published as a searchable online platform with profiles of world problems, action strategies, and human values that are interlinked in novel and innovative ways. These connections are based on a range of relationships such as broader and narrower scope, aggravation, relatedness and more. By concentrating on these links and relationships, the Encyclopedia is uniquely positioned to bring focus to the complex and expansive sphere of global issues and their interconnected nature. The initial content for the Encyclopedia was seeded from UIA’s Yearbook of International Organizations. UIA’s decades of collected data on the enormous variety of association life provided a broad initial perspective on the myriad problems of humanity. Recognizing that international associations are generally confronting world problems and developing action strategies based on particular values, the initial content was based on the descriptions, aims, titles and profiles of international associations. Non-profit, apolitical, independent, and non-governmental in nature, the UIA has been a pioneer in the research, monitoring and provision of information on international organizations, international associations and their global challenges since 1907.

Matthew Williams is a champion. He trains five days a week to excel in both basketball and speed skating and has gone on to represent Canada in international competition. In his inspiring TED Talk, Williams discusses how society has become more accepting of athletes with intellectual disabilities—however, we still have a ways to go. “The world does not see all people like me as champions,” Williams says, “Not long ago, people like me were shunned and hidden away. There has been lots of change since Special Olympics began in 1968, but in too many cases, people with intellectual disabilities are invisible to the wider population.” Unfortunately, too many athletes have not been given the opportunity to perfect and showcase their talents. The Special Olympics has taken great steps to help all athletes reach their fullest potential by not only supporting athletes in competition, but also supporting their health: “Special Olympics also addresses critical health needs. Studies have shown that, on average, men with intellectual disabilities die 13 years younger than men without, and women with intellectual disabilities die 20 years younger than women without. Special Olympics keeps us healthy by getting us active and participating in sport. Also, our coaches teach us about nutrition and health. Special Olympics also provides free health screening for athletes who have difficulty communicating with their doctor or accessing health care.” Playing sports have a variety of benefits such as building teamwork and leadership skills in a safe and fun environment—an environment all athletes should have the opportunity to be a part of. The Special Olympics is just one organization that is doing incredible work—work that Williams has the utmost respect for: “Special Olympics is changing the world by transforming four and a half million athletes and giving us a place to be confident, meet friends, not be judged and get to feel like and be champions.” For more information on the Special Olympics, visit their website.

ARTICLES, HEALTHY LIVING & WELL BEING. EATING DISORDERS 5 Simple Tips for a Digital Detox Some studies show youths age 8-18 spend about 9.5 hours per day on electronic devices – that’s a lot of time spent staring at a screen. While the internet and social media are useful and necessary in everyday life, there are consequences to using them. Research has found that the blue light from screens can disrupt sleep, the electromagnetic fields from electronics can have effects on your health, and the use of exposure can contribute to obesity in youth and adults. So how do we learn to unplug? Here are five tips to help you disconnect: Set a “device bedtime” That blue light coming off your computer or cell phone screen can be detrimental to your sleep because it disrupts circadian rhythms and suppresses melatonin. A lack of sleep can cause health problems like cancer, diabetes and obesity. Try to stay off your phone or computer at least an hour before you plan on going to sleep. Become more aware of how much you’re using electronics Overuse of electronics – especially social media – can have a major impact on your mental health. Studies show an increase in anxiety, loneliness and depression in people with a heavy reliance on electronics. You can avoid this by limiting your exposure and putting a daily cap on the number of hours you’re plugged in. Using devices throughout the day can decrease those human connections people need for their mental health. Overuse of electronics can lead to a number of troubling issues. Some people have problems sleeping, reduced empathy, worsened posture, eye issues, and impaired cardiac and nervous systems. Avoid these issues by spending more time away from your device – go for a walk, play a sport, get some fresh air, meet a friend for coffee – keep busy! Distance yourself from your device Electromagnetic fields emitted from your device can be avoided by simply walking away from them. Put your phone down – it doesn’t always need to be in your hand or pocket! Unplug in the bedroom Electromagnetic fields emitted by devices in your bedroom can be harmful to your health. At night, disconnect cordless phones, turn off devices – even WiFi if you can.

The Nguni people of southern Africa have an interesting philosophy called “ubuntu.” Ubuntu is the belief that a person thrives when his or her neighbor thrives. In English, it essentially translates to “I am because we are.” Cooperation, not competition, is celebrated. As I was reading more about Thomas B. Marsh’s life, I thought about ubuntu. When Thomas B. Marsh fell away from the church, he became a very vocal opponent of the Saints. He was so bitter that he wrote an affidavit to the Missouri governor that led to the extermination order against all Mormons in Missouri. He stayed away from the church for 2 decades, before reuniting with the Saints in Utah. When in Utah, Marsh addressed the Saints concerning the reasons behind his leaving the church: “I became jealous of the Prophet, and then I…overlooked everything that was right, and spent all my time looking for the evil…I got mad, and I wanted everyone else to be mad.” It’s so interesting to see what the Lord told Thomas B. Marsh when he first joined the church. (D&C 31) He counseled Marsh to teach and strengthen others. To “be patient in afflictions,” To “revile not against those that revile” And to “govern your house in meekness, and be steadfast.” In other words, Christ is teaching Marsh about ubuntu. Cooperation instead of competition. Meekness instead of envy. Patience instead of anger. Steadfastness instead of bitterness. To strengthen others instead of tearing them down. “When we seek to ‘complete’ rather than ‘compete,’ it is so much easier to cheer each other on.” (Linda K. Burton) And do you know what is beautiful? When Thomas talks of what brought him back to the church, he states “I have sought diligently to know the spirit of Christ since I turned my face Zionward.” Turn your face Zionward—towards others. Strive to be of one heart and mind. Focus on completing, not competing. Let go of envy. Let go of anger. Written by Sarah Keenan

18 sty Understanding the Concept of Enhancements Innovation can be described as process of having a new notion, idea, product, or perhaps service that is certainly both new and practical. Costly essential aspect in business accomplishment, and learning the concept may be a key aspect of building a competitive and eco friendly company. You will find three types of improvements. The first is product innovation, which is the opening of the new great or support. It can also include improvements to materials, application, or companies. In addition , it could possibly involve handling resources in a new approach, such as sharing https://onlineaudit.org/innovations-as-a-mindset resources among completely different groups. The other type of technology is method innovation, that involves reworking or perhaps improving the efficiency of existing methods. This type of originality may be used to mitigate environmental complications. Finally, there is certainly marketing advancement, which is a difference in marketing strategies. Advertising innovation may affect the packaging, advertising, or cost of a service or product. Many companies struggle to take the ideas to industry. Often , they will lack the equipment or information to fully use the brain power with their employees. Yet , some businesses are successful by putting into action these strategies. Companies like Amazon and Uber are frontrunners in this area. Invention is a complicated process that will require creative thought. Without imagination, innovation can be not feasible. Innovation can be tied to specific products or services, or perhaps it can be linked with a company’s business model. Most successful businesses incorporate both equally types of innovation. Businesses that have implemented new ideas have seen elevated customer retention. These improvements have also increased customer involvement. Sorry, the comment form is closed at this time.

The Russian manufacturer of Angola’s first communications satellite announced Friday that it has reestablished contact with the spacecraft after engineers stopped receiving signals shortly after its launch earlier this week. Ground controllers lost contact with the Angosat 1 communications satellite shortly after its deployment in an orbit more than 22,300 miles (about 36,000 kilometers) over the equator following liftoff Tuesday from the Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan. The 3,631-pound (1,647-kilogram) Angosat 1 satellite, built by the Russian aerospace contractor RSC Energia, was launched aboard a Ukrainian-built Zenit booster, and a Russian-made Fregat SB upper stage successfully maneuvered the spacecraft into a near-circular geostationary-type orbit and released the payload around nine hours after liftoff. The satellite established contact with ground controllers as expected after it separated from its rocket, but officials said they soon lost communications with Angosat 1. Russian news reports suggested the loss of communications occurred as Angosat 1 extended its power-generating solar panels, one of the first actions planned after its arrival in orbit. RSC Energia said in a statement Friday that engineers have restored communications with Angosat 1, and that all parameters of the satellite’s on-board systems are normal. Angosat 1 is expected to drift to its final operating position at 13 degrees east longitude, where it will match Earth’s rotation and hover over the same geographic location, beaming television broadcast, Internet, radio and other telecommunications services to Angola, the rest of Africa and parts of Europe. The satellite carries 16 C-band and six Ku-band transponders, and its communications payload was supplied by Airbus Defense and Space. Designed for a 15-year mission, Angosat 1 is Angola’s first communications satellite, the product of an inter-governmental agreement signed between the Angolan and Russian governments in 2009. Russian engineers also helped construct and activate a satellite control center near the Angolan capital of Luanda on the southwest coast of Africa, where officials will oversee Angosat 1 operations.

Over the last 50 years income inequality has been increasing in the United States. For example, the share of adults in upper-income households increased from only 14% in 1971 to 20% in 2019. Conversely, the share of lower-income households increased from 25% to 29% in the same time period. Many factors such as the rise of skill premium and educational inequities have contributed to this rise in inequality. This project specifically focuses on how pronounced the effect of tourism is on income inequality at the county level in the United States. In-depth economic and social analyses will determine the impact of tourism on income inequality using data from the 2009 and 2019 five-year estimates of the American Community Survey. Data are from all 3220 counties across the United States. This study analyses the relationship between employment in tourism-related industries and income inequality using employment percentages from accommodation, entertainment, recreation, arts, and food service industries. Income inequality is measured by the common indicator, the Gini coefficient. Additionally, data on median household income and poverty rate are included to give a clearer picture of total inequality in each county across the country. Results show that higher percentages of tourism-related employment are associated with greater measures of inequality, higher Gini coefficient, lower median income, and higher poverty rates. These results are significant at the 99th percentile. Do You Approve this Abstract?

Technology in Education is constantly changing and transforming the way schools, students, and teachers all learn. From augmented reality to virtual reality, the adoption of technology has been expanding at an exponential rate. But what does this mean for educators? What Does the Future of Technology in Education Look Like? Technology is constantly evolving and changes as it becomes more accessible. Today’s students are immersed in technology from a very young age, but we still don’t know if this will disrupt the education system or benefit it. Schools have started to implement new technologies (like the Google Expeditions program) and use them to enhance the learning process, but these newer programs may not be accessible enough for many students with special needs. How Will Technology Change the Way This Generation Learns? There is a wide variety of technology that can be used in the classroom. Some students have access to Chromebooks and other types of laptops that are more affordable than iPads. Technology also helps teachers give their students more options for different learning styles. How Technology is Impacting Learning Outside of School? Technology has changed the way we learn and even how students learn in school. With the abundance of technology, many students are increasingly using digital devices to enhance their learning outside of school. This change in education is changing how educators think about learning, which may be affecting traditional teaching methods. Youth Engagement Through Technology With education technology has increased by leaps and bounds, yet the world is not any more prepared for this than it was before. Schools are still struggling to find a way to engage students on their own terms without disrupting them. Technology can provide a solution that does both. It balances the needs of teachers with those of the students. Since the beginning of time, schools have been using technology to advance their students’ learning. This blog discusses what changes in education can happen because of new technological advances. Eventually, we will see a shift in our learning techniques and mediums.

Introduction: The use of computed tomography in medical diagnostics is increasing. CT is a diagnostic cross-sectional imaging of an object from both transmission or reflection data collected by illuminating the object from many different directions. The advantage of this method is that it gives high contrast resolution and display of low contrast structures. Aim: Computed tomography provides two methods of data collection: the sequential and spiral. The aim of the thesis is to compare the technical parameters and radiation dose between sequential and spiral mode of data acquisition with computed tomography imaging of the head and to identify any differences. Furthermore, we want to determine in which cases the doctor chooses to use the sequence or spiral data acquisition of head imaging. Methods: Descriptive method with systematic review of the literature is used in the thesis. When searching sources and literature, a time frame, from 1993 to 2015, was used. The literature was searched in Slovenian and English. Statistical analysis of the dose-lenght product and the product of tube current and exposure time of spiral and sequential techniques were performed using the computer program SPSS Statistics IBM 22.0 and statistical tests. Data were obtained from computerised tomography device Siemens SOMATOM Sensation 16. Investigations were carried out on fourteen patients during the period from 30 November to 3 December and according to the protocols for sequential and spiral head imaging, which are used on a daily basis. Results: Research results showed that the dose-length product is rather constant in a sequential technique. In a spiral technique the radiation dose received by the patient, and the value of the product of current and time are also fairly constant. Dose burden is affected mainly by the choice and adaptation of the protocol and partly by the constitution or age of the patient. Our findings were confirmed by statistical analysis, which proved the differences between spiral and sequential data acquisition. The dose-lenght product in the sequential technique is lower in comparison with the dose-lenght product in the spiral technique. The product of tube current and exposure time is lower in the spiral technique compared to the sequential technique Discussion and Conclusion: Spiral technique is used in head injuries, which helps surgeons, as it allows 3D reconstruction. The sequential technique is used in routine checks, when there is no need for specific reconstructions. As CT scans represent a large share of dose burdens on patients, the radiation dose should be monitored for its potential reduction. The research could lead to further examination of doses and protocols, and thus their optimisation.

According to Andrew M Prentice, PhD, from MRC International Nutrition Group, London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine, the intake of dairy produce shows enormous diversity between regions, cultures and individuals around the world. At the geographical level intake maps closely onto the distribution of lactase persistence (LP); a genetic trait that allows milk to be consumed beyond the weaning period without gastrointestinal side effects. The LP trait has been independently selected at least 4 times and is under rapid positive selection showing that dairy consumption has very positive dietary benefits. For people lacking the LP trait and those with irritable bowel syndrome (IBD) the fermentation of milk into yogurt and related products (a process known for at least 8500y) aids milk digestion through the breakdown of lactose and the provision of bacterially-derived beta-galactosidase which remains active in the gastrointestinal tract. Despite concerns that the high saturated fat content of full-fat dairy produce would promote heart disease the latest meta-analyses show dairy consumption to be neutral or beneficial for weight control, coronary disease, diabetes, hypertension and most cancers. In global ecological comparisons milk and dairy intake is strongly associated with adult height and many international advisory bodies recommend the consumption of 400-500ml milk equivalents per day, but few population groups meet these levels. Of 50 national food-based dietary guidelines (FBDG) surveyed two-thirds make reference to yogurt and either give guideline quantities or encourage an increase in consumption within the wider guideline to increase intakes of low-fat dairy produce.

This may include adverts from us and 3rd parties based on our understanding. You can unsubscribe at any time. More info There are different levels of severity when it comes to symptoms. We’ll start with the general symptoms. Health provider Patient says that “Early symptoms may include headaches and feeling sick…due to increased pressure within the skull”. It says that “These symptoms may come and go at first and tend to be worse in the morning”. Symptoms can vary depending on where the tumour is in the brain. Different parts of the brain are responsible for different functions so depending on where the tumour is, different symptoms will rear their heads. The following symptoms may be apparent as a result: • Weakness in an arm, leg, or part of the face • Loss of smell • Numbness or weakness in part of the body • Personality changes • Problems with balance The NHS advises you should seek a consultation “if you have a headache that feels different from the type of headache you usually get, or if headaches are getting worse”. It is important to note that the symptoms the NHS lists are slightly different from those Patient includes. Additional symptoms listed include: • Persistent nausea • Persistent vomiting • Vision or speech problems • Seizures (fits) Just like most conditions, there are number of risk factors that increase your chances of developing a brain tumour. Age is one of them. Most brain tumours happen in adults in their 80s. This doesn’t mean that people younger than 80 can’t develop brain tumours. Radiation is the second risk factor listed and this will be due to long term exposure to CT scans, X-rays of the head and radiotherapy. A few genetic conditions can increase your risk of developing a brain tumour. These include tuberous sclerosis, neurofibromatosis type 1, neurofibromatosis type 2 and Turner syndrome. More information can be found on the Cancer Research UK website. Information on brain tumour treatment can be found on the NHS. Source: Read Full Article

History of Gorgonya Nachani Before the reign of the British, a place in Shibsagar called Gorgaon was situated in Assam. The female dancers of this place were called Gorgonya Nachani. The descendants of this place still exist in that same place. The art of dancing that they practised is called ‘Lasya’. In this dance, the performers along with dancing also sing the songs. Earlier they were also taken to the courts of the Ahome kings where they used to dance and sing. Most of them earlier worked as court dancers of the Ahome kings. Dance Performance of Gorgonya Nachani The Lyasa dance which the Gorgonya Nachani performs has certain forms of gestures. In this form of dancing the body is swayed in all the directions and along with it the head is also bent slowly at regular intervals. The arms are slightly waved and then slowly taken upwards and swayed sideways. The palms keep moving all the time. All these gestures express the meanings of the songs they sing.

The frigate Friedrich Wilhelm zu Pferde (1681-1693). This 1:48 scale model is part of our exhibition on the West and East Indian Trading Companies on deck 2 of the museum. The fleet of Friedrich Wilhelm, Elector of Brandenburg and Duke of Prussia was initially a chartered fleet. It was created in cooperation between the Electorate of Brandenburg and Benjamin Raule, a merchant from Vlissingen in the Netherlands. The Raule fleet was financed by electoral letters of marque, especially in Brandenburg’s disputes with Sweden, and by business on the African Gold Coast. With the purchase of the Raule fleet by Friedrich Wilhelm, also known as the Great Elector, on 1 October 1684, the frigate „Friedrich Wilhelm zu Pferde” also became state property. The „Friedrich Wilhelm zu Pferde“ was the flagship of the Brandenburg navy from 1684 to 1693. Her construction was begun in 1680 in Pillau, today’s Baltijsk, and completed a year later in Königsberg, today’s Kaliningrad. The ship was designed for a maximum of 60 guns on two gundecks, but the number of guns varied greatly over time. The same applies to the size of the crew, which increased over time from 160 to 250 men. The chronicles describe the ship as an excellent sailor with great maneuverability. Considering her size and armament, she was a large frigate, and thus unable to compete with the larger ships of the established naval powers. In 1685, the „Friedrich Wilhelm zu Pferde“ was transferred from Königsberg to her new home port of Emden. In 1691, she served as a convoy ship to protect merchant ships on the route to the Shetlands. A year later, the ship was put into the service of the Brandenburg African Company and sailed from West Africa to St. Thomas in the Caribbean, participating directly in the Atlantic slave trade. For her use as a slave trader, the ship had been converted to carry as many human cargo as possible. To make room, her armament was therefore reduced to 25 cannons in 1692. On her way back from the Caribbean, the ship was attacked by French ships on 31 October 1693. As a result of the attack the ship burned and sank.

Background. Although pregnancy is a recognized risk factor for severe influenza infection, the effect of influenza on miscarriages and births remains unclear. We examined the relationship between influenza and birth rates during the 1918 pandemic in the United States, Denmark, Sweden, and Norway. Methods. We compiled monthly birth rates from 1911 through 1930 in 3 Scandinavian countries and the United States, identified periods of unusually low or high birth rates, and quantified births as “missing” or “in excess” of the normal expectation. Using monthly influenza data, we correlated the timing of peak pandemic exposure and depressions in birth rates, and identified pregnancy stages at risk of influenza-related miscarriage. Results. Birth rates declined in all study populations in spring 1919 by a mean of 2.2 births per 1000 persons, representing a 5%–15% drop below baseline levels (P < .05). The 1919 natality depression reached its trough 6.1–6.8 months after the autumn pandemic peak, suggesting that missing births were attributable to excess first trimester miscarriages in ∼1 in 10 women who were pregnant during the peak of the pandemic. Pandemic-related mortality was insufficient to explain observed patterns. Conclusions. The observed birth depressions were consistent with pandemic influenza causing first trimester miscarriages in ∼1 in 10 pregnant women. Causality is suggested by temporal synchrony across geographical areas. |Tidsskrift||Journal of Infectious Diseases| |Status||Udgivet - 2011|

Promoting the transition from fossil fuel dependancy to the use of renewable energy Climate Change is the change in the temperatures of the earth over time. The climate of the earth has changed throughout time, going through multiple Ice Ages and stages of glacial Ice advance and retreat. However, recently, a new wave of climate change has arisen. This new wave has brought about an increase in global temperatures and glacial retreat, both of which the likes we have never seen before. The scientific community has come to a mass consensus that this new wave of climate change has indeed been caused by man, specifically the emission of greenhouse gases- radiative gases which radiate energy in the form of heat within the lower atmosphere of the earth. These greenhouse gases are emitted by the consumption of fossil fuels by humans, through several different processes which all revolve around the exothermic combustion of fossil fuel to generate energy. These processes however, “make the earth go round.” It allows us to easily travel in cars and planes, provides electricity for our computers and air conditioning. Despite the use of fossil fuels being a viable option to meet the planet’s energy needs for decades, it is imperative for the countries of the world to lower dependence on fossil fuels for two primary reasons. Firstly, fossil fuels are not a renewable source- the amount of fossil fuels available on the planet are limited, and if dependence on fossil fuel is not eventually eliminated, the earth's reserves will be depleted. Second, as mentioned before, the consumption of fossil fuels as an energy source has detrimental effects on the environment, increasing global temperatures, air pollution, and causing the rise of global sea water levels. Fortunately there are viable alternatives to fossil fuels- renewable energy. Renewable energy are constantly replenished, meaning unlike fossil fuels which are finite resources, renewable energy is an infinite resource. The different forms of renewable energy include but are not limited to: solar energy (derived from the sun), geothermal energy (derived from the earth), and wind power (derived from air currents). If the world were to lower its dependency of fossil fuel consumption and transition to the use of renewable energy as a power source, not only would the detrimental effects of fossil fuels be mitigated, but the issue of using a resource of energy which would eventually diminish would be eliminate. Therefore, the environmental commission is tasked with the following goal: “Promoting the transition from fossil fuel dependency to the use of renewable energy” in order to create a sustainable and flourishing planet for all.

The invasive emerald ash borer (Agrilus planipennis Fairmaire, EAB) has destroyed ash tree (Fraxinus spp.) populations across the US, but remnant populations including many small trees and, more rarely, larger trees remain after EAB had its first major impact across the landscape. Here we model changes that could occur in a preserve’s remnant population of green ash (Fraxinus pennsylvanica Marsh.) after EAB peak mortality (2010-2017) to assess recovery potential. We used population viability analysis (PVA) and created a stage based model with baseline conditions and a model with a recurrent catastrophes, where a catastrophe was defined as a year with reduced ash survival from an EAB outbreak. The catastrophes model had an increasing probability of a catastrophe occurring over ten years and included a gradual increase in ash survival (decline in EAB impacts) over the 9 years following a catastrophic event. We explored scenarios for the catastrophes model including, 1) the reduction of future EAB induced mortality events by half to mimic possible effects of environmental pressures; 2) addition of trees with increased survival to mimic ash restoration. We assume ash restoration can be achieved by planting EAB resistant ash trees, which are currently under development, or from natural selection events, both leading to trees with historic survival parameters. We also performed a sensitivity analysis to assess which size class impacted the population persistence the most over time, and found that the seedling size class was the most influential. There was no risk of extinction under the baseline model and the most sensitive stage class was the Year 1 seedlings. Reduced catastrophe scenario had a 33% improvement in survival when compared to the catastrophes model. Adding healthy ash improved population abundances over time, and reduced the probability of extinction when there were repeated plantings. These scenarios relied on assumptions about how the population would react based on the scientific literature and cautious estimates. This approach provides a starting point for experiments testing individual management treatments to generate testable hypotheses, and the model may be readily updated with new data as it becomes available. Our PVA has revealed potential outcomes which can help increase our understanding of natural ash populations remaining after EAB introduction.
