How Does a Magnetic Speed Sensor Work? For centuries speed sensors have been used to determine the speed of moving objects. In fact, the very first primitive speed sensors were lengths of rope with a knots tied in them that were tossed over the sides of moving ships to determine how many “knots” the ship was traveling at. However; the advent of the motorized wheeled carriage created the need for a more advanced mechanical speed sensor, such as the type that used a gear and a cable to run a speedometer on an automobile. A Technological Need As time and technology progressed however, the need for other types of accurate speed sensors developed. This in turn led to the development of what is often referred to as the magnetic speed sensor. So how do they work? How can a magnet detect and transmit the speed of a moving object? The Hall Effect It is not just the magnet in a magnetic speed sensor that is used to determine speed but an electrical current that surrounds the magnet as well. There is a certain electrical phenomena called the “Hall effect” that is used to determine the speed of an object with a magnet. An Electrical Current In short, when an electrical current is ran near a magnet and the magnet detects ferrous metal such as iron or steel the electrical current is effected. This electrical effect can then be transmitted by wires to a speed gauge where it can be displayed. Gear Toothed Magnetic Sensor Often a gear is used in conjunction with a magnetic speed sensor. As the gear spins or turns, each spline or tooth in it will be detected by the magnet as it passes and a corresponding electrical pulse is sent out. The faster the gear spins the faster the electrical pulses the sensor sends and thus a speed reading is made. Source by Rosa Telip Ten Leave a ReplyWant to join the discussion?

A neurodevelopmental disorder that generally appears before the age of three. Autism affects the typical progression of neurodevelopment in regions of the brain associated with social interaction, communication skills, and overall cognitive functioning. Common delays observed in individuals with autism include difficulties with communication (both verbal and non-verbal), atypical play/leisure skills and difficulties with social interactions. The overall adaptive functioning in individuals with Autism is noted as delayed as well. The most recent figures from the National Autism Association note that Autism now affects 1 in 44 children, with males being four times more likely to have Autism than females. Autism is a spectrum disorder and does display great variety in all affected, no two people with Autism are alike. After receiving an autism diagnosis, the next step is finding a way to improve your and your child’s quality of life. We understand that every autism diagnosis is different, and each should be treated uniquely. Our autism treatment services in Miami, FL, offer specialized solutions to help you or a loved one improve their quality of life. At A1A Behavioral Health we provide top-quality, individualized treatment plans to address the challenges associated with Autism and other related disorders. The treatment approach utilized is known as ABA (applied behavior analysis) therapy. Applied behavior analysis applies the principles of learning theory in a systematic approach to modifying behaviors. The overall goal of ABA therapy is to increase adaptive skills and replacement behaviors while focusing on interventions to diminish maladaptive behaviors. The systematic approach to treatment planning includes identifying how behavior works, how behavior is affected by the environment and how learning takes place. Considering these elements is crucial to developing a treatment plan aimed at modifying behavior. Treatment focuses on increasing language abilities, developing communication skills, improving attention, fostering social skills and decreasing problem behaviors.

Religious Education Intent Religious Education, at Thrussington School, is based upon the Leicestershire Agreed Syllabus for Religious Education and the Understanding Christianity document. The aim of Religious Education is to encourage and assist all pupils to explore, reflect and express their own response to the spiritual and religious approaches to life. The children will acquire a knowledge and understanding of Christianity and other religions, beliefs and practices. They will understand and respect how religious beliefs and values affect ways of living and develop a reflective and caring approach to life. Tolerance and understanding will be considered very important. Daily acts of Collective Worship are of a broadly Christian nature, as required by the Education Reform Act. The vicar, and other visitors, share in the leading of collective worship. The R.E. curriculum is delivered using many practical methods including group work, drama, story telling and acting, discussion, handling of religious artefacts and role play. This encourages a deep understanding across a range of religions. The children are actively encouraged to debate and discuss whilst, at the same time, respecting everyone’s views and opinions. If you would like any further information regarding the curriculum, please contact your Class Teacher or our Head Teacher, Mrs Roddy.

Residents in Texas know that they must share the roads and highways with a wide range of vehicle types as well as pedestrians and bicyclists. It is the responsibility of everyone to follow laws and make wise decisions to help keep themselves and others safe. For truckers, there is a set of rules to follow in addition to the traffic laws that govern all other people. These are set forth by the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration and one of the rules focuses on trucker fatigue. The Hours of Service rule provides parameters around when a truck driver may work and how many hours the trucker may drive each day and each working week. Break times and durations are also clearly specified in this rule. The objective is to reduce instances of fatigue to prevent accidents caused by tired truck drivers. Fatigue is just one of many factors that may contribute to accidents involving large commercial vehicles. These accidents appear to be a serious and growing problem in Texas. According to records from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, the number of fatalities in truck crashes statewide jumped dramatically from 2016 to 2017. In 2016, 558 people died in large truck accidents. These fatalities represented 14.7% of all vehicular deaths in Texas that year. In 2017, there were 3,722 recorded vehicular fatalities across Texas. Of those deaths, 649 resulted from accidents involving semi-trucks or other large vehicles. Those truck deaths accounted for 17.4% of the total accident deaths in the state. This was a higher percentage than in any of the prior four years.

Dental crowns are placed on top of a damaged or vulnerable tooth in an effort to protect and restore it. Teeth that have been severely damaged or decayed, or those treated with endodontics or an implant often require a dental crown. Without a crown, a tooth can be left susceptible to breakage or decay. A vulnerable tooth makes it difficult to bite or chew; a crown can restore these functions. Crowns can be made from different materials such as, porcelain, zirconia, or porcelain-fused-to-metal. Your dentist can help you choose the best crown for you depending on you and your tooth’s needs. Porcelain is a material very similar to the enamel on your natural teeth. Porcelain can be color-matched to naturally blend with the rest of your smile. Because of its natural appearance that closely resembles real teeth, crowns made of porcelain are often used in the front of your smile. Porcelain is not the most durable crown material, which is why purely porcelain crowns are not as common for restoring teeth in the back of the mouth. Crowns made from a porcelain and metal fusion combine the durability of metal with the natural appearance of porcelain. An outer veneer of porcelain is applied to a metal crown to all parts where the crown is visible. The porcelain veneer can be color-matched to the rest of your teeth just like with a purely porcelain crown. The metal part of the crown provides strength for biting and chewing. The crown metal is often an alloy made up of both precious and base metals. The use of zirconia in dentistry is relatively new. Zirconia is the strongest ceramic available for dental crowns. It is usually not combined with any other material because it is strong enough on its own. Depending on the location of the tooth needing a crown, zirconia may be a worthwhile option. YOUR DENTIST CAN HELP YOU CHOOSE THE RIGHT CROWN FOR YOUR TOOTH A crown can be made of different materials best suited to protect your tooth. To learn more, schedule an appointment by calling Cosmetic & Implant Dentistry of Kansas City, MO, today at 816-897-4288.

Orconectes neglectus is Established in the Northeast |Title||Orconectes neglectus is Established in the Northeast| |Publication Type||Journal Article| |Year of Publication||2001| |Authors||Daniels, RA, Murphy, DC, Klemens, MW| |Keywords||crayfish, Hudson River, introduced species, Orconectes neglectus, southeastern New York| Orconectes neglectus, a crayfish native to the Mississippi River drainage in Arkansas, Oklahoma, Missouri, and Kansas, is reported from streams in southeastern New York for the first time. This species is the newest component of a crayfish fauna that is increasingly dominated by introduced species. Individuals of this species were collected in 1997–1999. First and second form males and females ranged in size from 7.5–40.9 mm carapace length. Ovigerous females were collected in May 1999. These data demonstrate that this species is established and reproducing in clear, rubble-bottom streams in southeastern New York. O. neglectus is readily identifiable by its distinctive coloration and color pattern; other characteristics of the rostrum, mandible, gonopod and annulus ventralis also are useful in distinguishing it from other species inhabiting northeastern North America. Currently, O. neglectus is known in the northeastern United States only from tributaries of the upper Croton River of the lower Hudson River drainage. We assume that it was introduced into the area accidentally.

Definition: to be mentally unstable/crazy Martin proudly presented the sandwich he had made to his family. “It’s peanut butter and turkey,” he announced. “Are you off your rocker?!” was the response. First of all, this idiom doesn’t discriminate. It doesn’t have to be ‘your’ rocker. It can be his, her, or theirs. But what is this rocker it refers to? The image and explanation that most commonly comes to mind is somebody, especially an elderly person, physically falling off their rocking chair. This doesn’t seem to have any bearing on the idiom as this points to a physical issue, not a mental one. The origin is most likely a mechanical one. Within many machines, a rocker is a sort of regulator which helps control its performance. If this rocker slips or becomes misaligned, the machine will work incorrectly, if at all. There is a similar phrase with the same meaning which appeared in the English language at the same time, to be ‘Off your trolley‘. This seems to refer to the overhead lines that provide power to trolley cars. If the car loses contact with this line, there is a loss of power and the trolley grinds to a halt. There are some claims that the wheel that made this connection was sometimes referred to as a rocker, but whether it was or not, it is clear that the two idioms are likely from the same source. Iddy’s never hopped on or off a trolley car. It’s probably a good thing as he has a hard enough time just sitting in a chair.

Leucocrinum montanum exhibits an unusual chromosomal and pollen heteromorphism (M. S. Cave 1970; R. Ornduff and M. S. Cave 1975). Populations from the Rocky Mountain region, Utah, and central and eastern Nevada shed their pollen in monads and have x = 14, while populations from extreme western Nevada, California, and Oregon all shed tetrads and have x = 13. The occurrence of intraspecific dimorphism in pollen shedding is extremely rare. The showy flowers of Leucocrinum montanum (L. S. Hannibal 1976; H. Rickabaugh 1975) with their long, white floral tubes are reportedly fragrant (V. A. Matthews 1986), and the subterranean capsules are more or less sessile on the rootstocks. Native Americans have eaten the roots (G. Kunkel 1984), and the Paiute and Shoshone tribes used the plant as a dermatological aid (D. E. Moerman 1986).

On January 15, 1929 Martin Luther King was born. We will celebrate his birthday on Monday, January 16, 2017. Martin Luther King Jr. was an American Baptist minister and activist who was a leader in the Civil Rights Movement. He is best known for his role in the advancement of civil rights using nonviolent civil disobedience based on his Christian beliefs. He wrote five books as well as numerous articles. In his activist years, he led a massive protest in Birmingham, Alabama, that caught the attention of the entire world, providing what he called a coalition of conscience. and inspiring his “Letter from a Birmingham Jail”, a manifesto of the Negro revolution; he planned the drives in Alabama for the registration of Negroes as voters; he directed the peaceful march on Washington, D.C., of 250,000 people to whom he delivered his address, “l Have a Dream”, he conferred with President John F. Kennedy and campaigned for President Lyndon B. Johnson; he was arrested upwards of twenty times and assaulted at least four times; he was awarded five honorary degrees; was named Man of the Year by Time magazine in 1963; and became not only the symbolic leader of American blacks but also a world figure. On the evening of April 4, 1968, while standing on the balcony of his motel room in Memphis, Tennessee, where he was to lead a protest march in sympathy with striking garbage workers of that city, he was assassinated

This week marks Homelessness Prevention Week. A week earmarked to raise awareness about homelessness and surrounding issues in Australia. There are over 105,237 people experiencing homelessness in Australia*. That’s 1 in 200 Australians living in shelters, boarding houses and temporary accommodation or on the streets. Homelessness can have huge social impact on our community but for those personally experiencing living without a home (particularly those aged under 25), they are also more likely to experience anxiety and depression, and the longer they are on the streets the more sever and persistent mental illness becomes. At Teen Challenge, we see many of our students that come through our program have experience homelessness or are at high risk of becoming homeless. While most suffer an addiction, the addiction is most often a subsequence of mental health issues such as anxiety, depression, and/or physical and physiological abuse. There are 1 in 6 young people (aged 15-24) living in poverty, according to ABS data. That is a large number of young people susceptible to homelessness, mental illness and potentially addiction. Teen Challenge QLD will continue to offer safe accommodation and support to those young people struggling to get off the streets, struggling to overcome their issues, struggling to break addictions. How can you help? – Become a monthly giver; – Hold a fundraiser; or – Make a one off donation. *Data sourced from www.homelessnessaustralia.org.au

Fluid can flow through large pores very quickly. Even if no pressure is applied using the VPM, gravity can cause the sample fluid to drain from the upper fluid cell to the lower fluid cell (of the NP4000 nanopore) in a matter of minutes. Follow the recommended steps below to control the rate of fluid flow: - Do not use applied pressures above 5 mbar for large pores. In addition to the inherent pressure head in the fluid cell (equivalent to ~0.45 mbar), this is sufficient to drive particles through the pore. - If necessary apply a small vacuum (up to 0.4 mbar) in order to reduce the total pressure and hence the fluid flow. - To ensure a consistent pressure head from sample to sample: - Remove excess fluid from the bottom fluid cell, such that all of the fluid is contained underneath the pore material, with a fluid meniscus on each side of the central well. - Remove excess fluid from the upper fluid cell (this can be done by removing the upper cell and tapping it against a tissue). The stable operating period can be determined by looking at the rate plot after the data has been analysed. A constant (linear) rate plot indicates a largely stable pressure – measurements should only be taken for this time period. A drop off in rate indicates a significant change in pressure:

To meet today’s economic, political and climate crises, we must sharply reduce demand for gasoline. Coltura outlined its strategy for rapidly and equitably reducing gasoline consumption in an article, “Towards a National Strategy to Cut Gasoline Use,” published last month in the Georgetown Journal of International Affairs. Here’s a summary of our three-pronged approach: - Set Goals. Set gasoline and emission reduction goals for light duty vehicles (passenger cars and light trucks). Aim for a 50% cut in gasoline use by 2030, a target consistent with UN and Biden Administration climate goals. - Use Data to Guide Policy and Investment. An understanding of gasoline data must guide policy and investment in reducing emissions from light duty vehicles. A deep dive into data led Coltura to this conclusion: We must design EV incentives and other policies to prioritize the switch to EVs for those who currently use the most gasoline, particularly for people in lower income brackets. Doing so will provide financial relief to those most burdened by gasoline costs, and push us towards our climate goals faster. This maximizes both the climate and equity impacts of EV incentives. - Require Accountability. We must hold governments and organizations accountable for meeting specific gasoline reduction goals using accurate, timely, and detailed data on gasoline use. With clear goals, data-driven policymaking, and accountability, we will be able to cut gasoline use more quickly, while becoming a more equitable, more prosperous, and healthier nation.

The most remote inhabited island in the world has a number of distinct tourist routes, allowing one to get to know in depth one of the most enigmatic cultures on the planet. Te Ana has a route that includes five landmarks, among them the Tahai ceremonial complex, where it is said you can view the best sunset on Easter Island, where the romance of the sky is accompanied by five giant Moai that stand watching the horizon. Museo Antropológico Padre Sebastián Englert anthropological museum: combines archaeological artifacts with the characteristic elements of the local heritage. Located in Tahai, you can visit on foot or by vehicle. Its main attraction is comprised of a collection of information, both geological and of the civilization of the island, at different stages of its development. Complejo Ceremonial Tahai (Tahai Ceremonial Complex): includes three altars and the only restored Moai, with eyes colored with white coral and red volcanic rock. An example of how the Moai would have once looked. It is said that here can be seen one of the best sunsets. Ana Te Pahu: in front of its entrance, due to the humidity, a lush cover of vegetation grows on the rocky walls. Inside this cave there are two underground conduits, one of which contains a source of rain water, the second serving as a refuge. Ahu ‘a Tiu: is an altar with seven Moai, reconstructed by archaeologists with the help of the Rapa Nui community. Like other platforms of the island, its Moai look exactly towards where the spring equinox occurs. Puna Pau: an esplanade in which you will find a small crater from where the red volcanic rock, used in sculpturing of the Moai’s hair, was quarried. In the area you will see 23 cylindrical prototypes in their initial stage of being carved.

Volleyball rules are the rules for volleyball. The Fédération Internationale de Volleyball (FIVB) publishes rules for the volleyball game. Download the latest official volleyball rules. Download: FIVB Official Volleyball Rules 2013-2016 (3.65 MB) Volleyball is a sport played by two teams on a playing court divided by a net. There are different, versions available for specific circumstances in order to offer the versatility of the game to everyone. The object of the game is to send the ball over the net in order to ground it on the opponent’s court, and to prevent the same effort by the opponent. The team has three hits for returning the ball (in addition to the block contact). The ball is put in play with a service: hit by the server over the net to the opponents. The rally continues until the ball falls on the playing court, goes “out” or a team fails to return it properly. In volleyball, the team winning a rally scores a point (Rally point system). When the receiving team wins a rally, it gains a point and the right to serve, and its players rotate one position clockwise. There is more than one way to hit the ball, however, the three main ones are the bump, set, and spike. Along with restrictions of course, restriction include physical contact with the opposing team with a violent intent. A ball touching the net will remain in play until grounded, or exceeds the three hit limit.

Double Stars: Course of the Eye Examiners There are a number of double stars in the spring sky, some of which can be seen separately with a keen eye. Whether as a challenge for our eyes or for our understanding of stellar physics: It's always worth taking a closer look! Binnies and multiple stars are very common in the sky. However, many can only be recognized as such in the telescope – if at all. This is because very close double stars cannot be seen separately, even in large telescopes. Only when their light is broken down into its individual colors with the help of a spectroscope does their true nature reveal itself on the basis of the spectral lines. These are spectroscopic binary stars. Only when the orbits of the stars are further than the orbit of Neptune around the sun and when the star system is less than a hundred light-years away from us, there are angular distances in the range of a few arc seconds in the sky, so that the stars of the system can be seen with an amateur telescope are individually visible. In many cases, there are clear differences in color and brightness (see image on p. 70 below). Such contrasts, which are attractive to the eye, are also of particular interest to astrophysicists, namely as a test of their star models: after all, two stars formed here together. Thus, despite their often different masses and stages of development, they are exactly the same age, initially had the same chemical composition - and as a true double star they still form a bound system today. The brighter and more massive partner may then have already developed into a red giant, while a less massive companion, which is more economical with its fuel supply, develops more slowly and therefore still shines as a normal star in pure white …

Solar fuels production from water splitting with sunlight thesisposted on 2022-03-28, 14:16 authored by Kyle Chen With the increase in the depletion of fossil fuel resources and its accompanying harmful environmental effects, a clean, efficient and portable fuel is in need of development. As a result, hydrogen fuel has attracted much attention because of its favourable characteristics, but due to its limiting technology to produce it, hydrogen fuel is not widely used. Photocatalytic water splitting is a recent development that can potentially lead to an economical and efficient process to produce hydrogen. The power that drives this technology is sunlight, an environmentally free and renewable resource, making it a valuable approach to producing hydrogen fuel in the future. This thesis aims to conduct further work on the development of an efficient photocatalyst, which initiates the splitting of water into hydrogen and oxygen.The project fabricated iron oxide/carbon nitride nanotubes (FeOx/C3N4 NTs, and then tested its hydrogen generation performance, by emitting artificial visible-light on the chemical product submerged in water. The results showed an increase in photocatalytic performance as compared to the bulk graphitic C3N4, and C3N4 NTs by itself. In essence, the nanoparticles, FeOx, reduced the negative effect of recombinant rate and increased the visible-light absorption capacity. In addition, different weight percentages of FeOx/C3N4 NTs were synthesised (1 wt%, 3 wt%, 5 wt%, 7 wt% and 9 wt%). The photocatalytic test determined the optimum weight percentage for hydrogen evolution is 5 wt%. Any subsequent testing wt% values that were either above of below 5 wt% showed a reduction in hydrogen production. The morphological structure of the synthesised FeOx/C3N4 NTs was characterised by TEM, while its crystal phase was determined by the XRD. TEM images proved that FeOx particles are indeed anchored on the C3N4 NTs. However, many agglomerated on the NT surface, suggesting that the adopted method was not successful in synthesisin distinct NPs adhered onto the host photocatalyst. XRD results showed evidence of Fe3O4, Fe2O3 and Fe NPs. UV-vis absorption and PL spectra analysis showed that the hybrid photocatalyst is a visible-light driven photocatalyst and has a low recombination rate when exposed to visible light.

In Latin America, water governance is facing the problem of rising demand for water resources, increased hydrological variability in a context of climate change, proliferating contamination and thus —in general— increasing scarcity of water in terms of quantity, quality, and opportunity. This creates competition and conflicts among stakeholders. The issue coincides with the urgent international problem of concentration of land, which is heavily intertwined with the concentration of water in the hands of the few. Globalization and a neoliberal political climate facilitate that powerful actors accumulate water rights and volumes at the expense of less powerful water users. This paper examines some exemplary situations in Peru. It is based on literature review, reports and archival research. The paper concludes that the unfair distribution of land and water, at the expense of rural families, communities and indigenous territories, constitutes a serious threat to environmental sustainability, water security and food security.

>You can tell it’s spring by the signs of Earth Week in my classroom. Worked into the collection between the other books are many Earthy titles. Science Verse is there because it’s one of my favorites and April is also Poetry Month. Look to the right, and you’ll see why there are so many on the shelf; the Seasonal bucket wasn’t big enough for all the books on an environmental theme. My desk is often a repository of evidence of whatever we’re studying. Cluttered, perhaps; but look closely. Here, in the corner by the keyboard. It’s one of our Earth Week specialty plans: the Circle of Earth Cookie. One of my colleagues at the environmental charter shared this plan. The cookie is a circle, like Earth. The M&Ms represent soil (brown), plants (green), animals (orange), sky/ air (blue), and last but not least, yellow for the sun. The frosting is there to hold it all together. The students loved the cookies and the simple plan. They really knew what each piece represented. This post is going up a week after the official Earth Week celebration. However, it’s important to keep inserting eco-conscious habits into our lives every day. >Now we as mankind are frosting, huh? Ha!!! >Mmmm. Consuming planet earth, one luscious bite at a time! That's what that cookie says, ma'am. 😉 >I just love your classroom!

When we ingest animal protein, our bodies produce higher levels of the hormone IGF-1. This hormone is prominent during childhood and adolescence and then it levels off into adulthood. It is involved in the growth of bones and muscles, and it helps manage and maintain blood sugar levels. Overproduction of IGF-1 causes cancer in adults and children and animal protein intake significantly boosts IGF-1 production from our liver. The opposite happens in just a few days on a plant-based diet as IGF-1 levels drop significantly. Plant proteins reprogram the human body to slow down IGF-1 production and animal proteins send a different signal to the liver to increase production. Children with cancer have often shown to have four times the levels of IGF-1 in their bloodstream. You will not see the same type of damage in the bodies of those committed to consuming plant sources. Does Soy Protein Affect circulating Levels of Unbound IGF-1? Despite what you may have heard or seen in the media, soy or soybeans in their natural whole food form are very beneficial. Soy is a super protein that can actually help reverse cancer. One reason for the confusion over the years, is due to the results of older studies done on rodents which showed the opposite result. When studies were done on women in more recent years, soy showed significant benefit, especially in reversing breast cancer. Overconsumption of isolated soy protein in a concentrated form, as it is often found in many nonmeat fast-food burgers, appears to dramatically increase the production of IGF-1. It is important to note that excess intake of any type of protein can cause a lot of stress on the kidneys as they try to clear it from our bodies. In worst-case scenarios, this can lead to renal failure and the need for dialysis. Public and regulatory agencies are trying to hold producers of these products more accountable. The expectation, supported by science, is that food selections will improve by incorporating or preserving more of the whole components of natural plant food, and standards will continue to increase to safer levels. Stores are increasingly improving on stocking up organic ancient grains, beans, barley, whole grain chips, cookies, cereals, and varieties of previously unknown organically grown delicious vegetables like daikon root, jackfruit, hearts of palm, and baby bok choy. One interesting fact is that organically grown produce typically contains 10-30% more nutrients than nonorganic. Hence another reason to make sure you reach for organic food.

One of a popular series of books featuring boy and girl twins Topsy and Tim. Tim doesn’t want his breakfast one morning, and his Dad discovers that he has a red and swollen throat. Mummy takes him to the Health Centre to see Dr Sims, who checks his tonsils and ears, and listens to his chest with his stethoscope. He tells Tim he’s been a brave lad and gives him a prescription for some medicine. The family collect the medicine from the pharmacist and Tim has a spoonful when he gets home (he thinks that the medicine tastes nice). Mummy puts the bottle in a high locked cupboard. Soon, Topsy also has a sore throat and Dad takes her to the Health Centre (this time they have an appointment with a female doctor). The story gives a positive view of doctors and medicine taking, and may help to explain to children that minor illnesses like sore throats get passed around from person to person. Categories: Doctors, Hospitals & Operations Topsy and Tim: Go to the Doctor Introducing young children to what happens on a typical visit to the doctor. Provides a positive description of taking medicine. Author: Jean and Gareth Adamson Illustrator: Belinda Worsley Publisher: Ladybird

Solgami: These Origami Solar Panels Generate Electricity For Apartments. by Mike Brown on February 11, 2019 – Inverse.com A new design of solar panel could help apartment dwellers harvest electricity from their windows without prohibitive installation costs. Solgami, designed by Australian architect Ben Berwick, is a window blind that generates power while bouncing more light into the room using a folded origami design. “It’s a bit of a reconnection to the natural setting,” Berwick, who founded architecture firm Prevalent, told Fast Company* this weekend. “It’s making your apartment a better place to be.” The design combines thin film solar cells with reflective inks. It’s folded into a shape measuring 10 centimeters (under four inches) deep so that it bounces light into the room, meaning natural light reaches broader areas of the space. It can switch between open and closed, meaning it acts as a replacement for blinds, while also folding back for complete window access. The design has undergone several iterations since its first unveiling in 2015. It’s an idea that could help millions of people living in apartment buildings. Around 54 percent of the global population lived in an urban area in 2014, a figure set to rise to 66 percent by 2050. While the Tesla Solar Roof and similar panels can help homeowners harvest clean energy, Berwick’s solution could help the majority of the world take advantage of similar technologies. The project is also aimed at offering a simpler solution for city-based solar generation, compared to invasive measures like special solar windows. SolarWindow, a company developing such a solution, noted that a 50-storey building generating energy through this solution could generate up to 50 times more power compared to placing roof panels on the same building. Berwick’s design was chosen as a finalist for the 2019 Lexus Design Awards at the end of last month, meaning it will now receive support from the car firm to create a prototype in time for the Milan Design Week in April. The entry was one of six chosen from 1,548 entries, with other finalists including a turbine that harvests aircraft jet blasts for electricity and a modular house design. Four experts will chose the eventual winner on April 8.

Planning Your Pond In many respects, your pond is an “outdoor aquarium.” Creating a beautiful pond in your yard—complete with fish, a fountain, a waterfall, water lilies and other plants—is as rewarding as it is challenging. The pond is an interactive part of an uncontrolled environment that affects and is affected by all of its natural surroundings. As an artificial construct, it cannot exist without regular maintenance. It is probably best to think of it as an outdoor aquarium. When planning your pond, you need to consider the following: - Filtration: Although a pond is a significantly larger body of water than an aquarium, the same rules about stocking the right amount and type of fish apply. Typically, your pond will include goldfish or koi, both of which can grow quite large and are messy eaters. Robust mechanical, chemical and biological filtration is necessary. - Live plants: Live plants are a must. Aside from their natural beauty, they will out-compete algae for nutrients and keep it in check. A pond works best when it replicates nature’s balance as closely as possible. - Pond placement: When planning your pond, avoid placing it where direct sunlight is the rule and not the exception. Areas that are at least partially shaded by trees or other objects are a better choice, both for your fish and for controlling algae growth. - Water changes: In areas or times of little rainfall, evaporation may become a problem. Add water as necessary to keep water volume ideal for plants - Water movement: Keeping pond water in gentle motion helps: - oxygenate the water; - leech out chemical and environmental contaminants; - move nutrients around; - keep pond water from completely freezing in the winter, and; - prevent stagnation Installing a waterfall or fountain in the pond is a beautiful way to achieve movement. - Water temperature: Temperature control is not required. Goldfish and koi can adapt to a wide temperature range (as long as the change is gradual). They can even endure cold winters as long as their pond water only freezes at the surface. Once it’s up and running, your pond will do much of the work itself, leaving you free to sit back and enjoy your fish. Take the right steps at the beginning and your pond will be a beautiful and healthy aquatic home.

Enforced Disappearances in PakistanOctober 31, 2011 “My son was born seven months after my husband went missing…he has never met his father, he just looks at his pictures.” Across South Asia, thousands of people disappear in the context of violence against the state. These thousands are often caught in the crossfire between security forces and militants. You can help by taking action now. The practice of enforced disappearances has increased dramatically since Pakistan joined the US-led “war on terror” in 2001. Disappearances occur across the country but especially in Balochistan province in the south-west, which faces violence from ethnic and religious armed groups and state security forces. Activists, journalists, and students have been especially targeted and an increasing number have been found dead with their bodies showing signs of torture. In Balochistan from October 2010 to May 2011 alone, we recorded 93 cases of people who had been killed after being reported as missing. Many of the victims’ families blame state security forces, especially the paramilitary Frontier Corps for these killings. A judicial Commission of Enquiry on Enforced Disappearances has failed to resolve the crisis or to hold the security forces and intelligence agencies to account in cases implicating them. The Prime Minister of Pakistan who controls the security agencies needs to urgently step in to address this human rights situation.

Science has been constantly evolving and so are we. Our Science Club aspires to engage children in various scientific activities of practical actions and challenges that bring forth the scientists in them. We aim to boost scientific activity by conducting workshops and experiments using 3D Models applied in real life scenarios. The activities at Edsmart Science Club are designed to inspire students to invent methodologies/practical solutions in scenarios that ask for ‘ditching the dirt’, ‘growing food when your land floods’, ‘ how cavemen created fire’ etc. By letting them ponder over these kinds of situations, we help promote creative and scientific temper among our students. We expose children to the knowledge of how different concepts have been invented, how different processes have been designed and implemented to favour the humankind, in a fun-filled, engaging bunch of activities. Even the most progressive form of syllabus may fail to cater to the needs of a scientifically able student whose interest constantly lies in innovating and creating novel forms of utility. Hence, we focus on identifying the unique talents of our students and guiding them to achieve their aspirations successfully. Apart from inspiring children to learn science, we properly organise science club activities to enhance group participation, development of explorative, constructive and innovative faculties among children. The Scientific and technological advancement of the modern world is the result of a series of experimentation and innovation from the stone age and will continue along a long journey forward. We gear the current generation up to meet the needs of tomorrow by inspiring them in the pursuit of scientific knowledge and rigorous ways of developing their scientific outlook.

The Origins of Chinese Kongsi Wang Tai Peng 128 pag. paperback 14 x 22 cm THE ORIGINS OF CHINESE KONGSI is essetial reading for those seeking to understand the reason behind the success of Mainland China and the failure of the Sovjet Union to introduce economic reforms. The answer lies in the creation of the kongsi, which is the fundamental system used to overcome economic ills, social ostracism and oppression. This system has been moulded and modified to adapt to modern environment and local legislation. Although the Kongsi is similar to modern partnership, it incorporates the spirit of genuine co-operation, welfare consideration and brotherhood. The Chinatowns in the main cities worldwide are the direct result of the Kongsi concept. Countless Chinese companies commenced as Kongsi and ended up as conglomerates in many parts of the world. They do not boast of their wealth but take pride in earning monetary rewards through their industry and combined efforts of the individuals involved. This book is an examination of the Kongsi concept in the past, present and future. Many eminent foreign writers of the past had dealt with the subject with a narrow angle. Wang Tai Peng has given this book a broader outlook through a faithful interpretation of the Kongsi system in recent times from Chinese, Japanese and European souces.

These data are temporally and spatially dispersed and could have limitations regarding biases in the distribution of the observations in space and/or time. The authors tested the influence of landscape variables in the distribution of citizen science observations for eight taxonomic groups. In addition, collected data through a Portuguese citizen science database (biodiversity4all.org). They also used a zero-inflated negative binomial regression to model the distribution of observations as a function of a set of variables representing the landscape features plausibly influencing the spatial distribution of the records. Results suggest that the density of paths is the most important variable, having a statistically significant positive relationship with number of observations for seven of the eight taxa considered. Wetland coverage was also identified as having a significant, positive relationship, for birds, amphibians and reptiles, and mammals. The results highlight that the distribution of species observations, in citizen science projects, is spatially biased. Higher frequency of observations is driven largely by accessibility and by the presence of water bodies. The authors conclude that efforts are required to increase the spatial evenness of sampling effort from volunteers.

Amorphous binary CrZr alloys containing 11-66 at% Zr were successfully prepared by a magnetron sputtering method. Amorphous CrZr alloys thus prepared were spontaneously passive in 6 M HCl solution. Their corrosion rates were four orders of magnitude lower than chromium metal and one-third of zirconium metal and decreased with alloy chromium content. XPS analysis revealed that airformed films and passive films on the amorphous CrZr alloys were composed of double oxyhydroxides of chromium and zirconium. This appears to be responsible for the high corrosion resistance of the amorphous CrZr alloys in comparison with their constituent elements; the formation of chromium-containing passive film is more protective than the film on zirconium metal, despite the fact that chromium metal dissolves actively in 6 M HCl solution. |Number of pages||11| |Publication status||Published - 1993 Jan 1| ASJC Scopus subject areas - Chemical Engineering(all) - Materials Science(all)

The search engine, Google, celebrated the life of Justine Siegemund, a 17th-century midwife responsible for the first comprehensive guide to childbirth in Germany, by using imagery that clearly depicts the unborn child. Google regularly produces temporary alterations to its logo on its homepage to commemorate a person or event of historical importance. This temporary alteration has come to be called a ‘Google Doodle’. March 28, as Google explains, was the anniversary of the certification of a pioneering midwifery textbook, The Court MidWife, written by German midwife, Justine Siegemund. Born in 1636 in Rohnstock, Lower Silesia, now part of Poland, Siegemund’s book was certified on March 28 1690. It represented a massive step forward in midwifery at a time when the knowledge that midwives accumulated was largely passed on through oral traditions. As Google explains “After an apprenticeship, Siegemund began her career in midwifery by offering free services to underprivileged women. She soon became known for her ability to safely guide women through difficult births, and word spread quickly to expecting women across the country”. She became Court Midwife to the royal family in Berlin and delivered their children. A Google page explaining the Doodle says “Thank you Justine Siegemund for setting the foundation for modern childbirth education! Your legacy still inspires physicians to take a page out of your book — to make labor and delivery safer for all.” As part of the Doodle, the altered Google logo depicts an unborn child being guided out of the womb by the hands of a midwife. Right To Life UK spokesperson Catherine Robinson said “Google can hardly be said to be a pro-life company but it is encouraging that they choose to celebrate a woman who was deeply committed to helping women and their babies.”

The Hudson River has historically played a huge role in the development of Catskill, Athens, Coxsackie and New Baltimore. With the transition of the regional and national economy, the waterfront is increasingly utilized for public enjoyment, recreation, and tourism purposes. The focus on utilizing the Hudson River as an economic driver is as important as ever, as the Historic River Towns solidify their place in the region and continue to increase the quality of life for residents. Matters of climate change, sea-level rise and water quality will continue to be issues within these communities, not only concerning the Hudson, but its tributaries as well. The Hudson River remains a major attraction for avid boaters. Boaters travel up and down the river, stopping at towns and villages along the way to shop, dine, and relax. Greene County has not one, but four towns and villages on the riverbanks. Coxsackie, Athens, and Catskill all have public boat launches, docks, and parks. An economic expansion as a result of water-related travel has begun to emerge and is foreseen to grow in the future with visitor-related uses along the waterfront. New York State offers local governments the opportunity to participate in the State’s Coastal Management Program (CMP) on a voluntary basis by preparing and adopting a Local Waterfront Revitalization Program (LWRP), which provides a more detailed implementation of the CMP through use of existing broad powers as zoning and site plan review. New York State Coastal Atlas • Using the Coastal Atlas on the GIS Gateway Four communities including the Village of Catskill have been working with the Hudson River Estuary Program to understand and prepare for the risk of future floods. The Village created a Waterfront Resilience Task Force which issued the Catskill Task Force Final Report, in 2019 recommending actions to increase the safety of waterfront areas. Measures to protect waterfronts can include : Village of Athens Local Waterfront Revitalization Program The Village of Coxsackie was awarded $100,000 in 2018 to develop an LWRP and is currently in the planning process.

Pandemilerin Toplumsal, Psikolojik ve Ekonomik Etkilerinin İncelenmesi: Aksaray İli Covıd-19 Örneği Güden, Rumeysa Ayşe xmlui.mirage2.itemSummaryView.MetaDataShow full item record Throughout life, human beings are confronted with new viruses whose sources cannot always be determined precisely and which cause many serious health problems. In the twenty-first century, the most important agenda and most urgent responsibility of the world has been to fight the COVID-19 pandemic. The extent of the health, social, economic and environmental impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic continue to be examined. The study aim was to examine the social, psychological, and economic effects of pandemics in Aksaray province with the example of COVID-19 pandemic and determine the characteristics associated with it. The study was planned as a descriptive epidemiological study. Data was collected in December 2020. The questionnaire form prepared by the researcher and the COVID-19 phobia scale (C19P-S) were used in the study as data collection tools. SPSS 25.0 statistical package program was used for data entry and analysis. Statistical analysis results are presented with Chi-square test, corrected Pearson Chi-square test and descriptive statistics. 328 women and 314 men aged 18 to 84 years participated in the study. Participants' COVID-19 phobia (C19P-S) scores were classified as low, moderate, and high. Participant’s level of experiencing COVID-19 phobia was examined with the COVID-19 phobia scale (C19P-S) in four categories as psychological, somatic, social and economic COVID-19 phobia. A significant relationship was found between the level of COVID-19 phobia (C19P-S) and the participants' gender, age, education level, marital status, number of children, chronic disease, occupational status and their self-reported economic status. The results of the research reveal the necessity of conducting studies on the causes of experiencing COVID-19 phobia.

Economic evaluation of telemedicine compares the costs and other consequences of delivering specific services through telemedicine vs. alternative means. Cost-effectiveness analysis, the most common method used for health issues, helps to assess whether the expected health benefits are worth the investment. Telemedicine raises particular challenges for evaluators: a telemedicine system may have multiple uses and joint costs that are difficult to apportion to one service, the existence of a system may lead to expanded indications for use, and technological change may rapidly make an evaluation outdated. Public and private regulation and payment may affect the diffusion of telemedicine. Uncertainty surrounds the policy of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, which is still formulating its position. Changes are underway in policies on licensure and credentialing of clinicians, which have traditionally been done by state and by site, to reflect the fact that telemedicine services may cross these regional boundaries. Lack of insurance coverage for telemedicine services has been considered an impediment to adoption with fee-for-service payment. Under capitation payment and fixed budgets, however, providers have financial incentives to use the most efficient method to deliver services, and these arrangements would favor telemedicine if it is the less costly alternative. If telemedicine were most costly and the health benefits worth the cost, monitoring might be needed to ensure the quality of care. |Original language||English (US)| |Number of pages||7| |Journal||Telemedicine journal : the official journal of the American Telemedicine Association| |State||Published - 1998| ASJC Scopus subject areas

In 1894, the Banffshire Journal published a long article about William, mainly on research he had carried out on rotting turnips and a possible link to an insect. The article also painted a wider picture of William’s researches including: “Mr Sim has also done good work in botany; and some time ago he discovered three species of fresh water Algae new to Britain.” In 1882, William Joshua, a naturalist from Cirencester, published an article about British freshwater algae. He also advertised in Hardwicke’s Science Gossip, a journal which the Sims read and to which they contributed short articles. He was seeking other naturalists to correspond with him and exchange specimens of algae. One year later, in 1883, Joshua published a second article about freshwater algae and twelve of those he listed had come from Den of Gight. This was a location close to their farm at Gourdas with which the Sims would have been familiar – but which was unlikely to have been known to Joshua unless he had help. Did William find the new algae and send them to Joshua who published the find? Further research led to collections of William Joshua’s microscope slides in the Natural History Museum, London, and University of Limerick, Republic of Ireland. Some of these slides identified the source of the algae as Den of Gight, Aberdeenshire, including one marked as a new British species. Slides from Natural History Museum All of the research seems to support the statement made about William in the Banffshire Journal. I have found some references to William Joshua but nothing, such as letters, that provide a definite link between him and William Sim. Is there anything more out there to help this research?

Types of Abuse The Virginia Administrative Code establishes five categories of abuse or neglect: physical abuse, physical neglect, medical neglect, mental abuse or neglect, and sexual abuse. PHYSICAL ABUSE occurs when a caretaker creates or inflicts, threatens to create or inflict, or allows to be created or inflicted upon a child a physical injury by other than accidental means or creates a substantial risk of death, disfigurement, or impairment of bodily functions. PHYSICAL NEGLECT occurs when there is failure to provide food, clothing, shelter, or supervision for a child to the extent that the child’s health or safety is endangered. This also includes abandonment and situations where the parent or caretaker’s own incapacitating behavior or absence prevents or severely limits the performing of childcaring tasks. MEDICAL NEGLECT occurs when there is failure by the caretaker to obtain and or follow through with a complete regimen of medical, mental or dental care for a condition which if untreated could result in illness or developmental delays. MENTAL ABUSE OR NEGLECT occurs when a caretaker creates or inflicts, threatens to create or inflict, or allows to be created or inflicted upon such child a mental injury by other than accidental means or creates a substantial risk of impairment of mental functions. SEXUAL ABUSE occurs when there is any act of sexual exploitation or any sexual act upon a child in violation of the law which is committed or allowed to be committed by the child’s parents or other persons responsible for the care of the child.

top of page Small Bead Frame Introduced to students beginning Lower Elementary, as ready Addition, subtraction, multiplication WHAT IS IT? The Small Bead Frame is a material students use to add, subtract, and multiply into the thousands. Designed for children beginning Lower Elementary, the material helps children to move toward an abstract understanding of mathematical operations. HOW DOES IT WORK? (ADDITION) Solve the following equation: 2346 + 3452. Notice there is a row of beads for each digit: 1 (units), 10 (tens), 100 (hundreds), and 1000 (thousands). The color coding for units, tens, and hundreds is consistent across the majority Montessori materials. Make “2346” using the bead frame. Slide 6 units, 4 tens, 3 hundreds, and 2 thousands to the right side. Now add the units. In the number “3452” there are 2 units. Add 2 units to the 6 that are already there. How many units are there now? Count the beads and write down the answer: 8 units. Repeat this process for the tens column: 4 + 5 = 9. In the hundreds column: 3 + 4 = 7. In the thousands column: 2 + 3 = 5. 2346 + 3452 = 5798. bottom of page

Created | Updated Oct 19, 2012 The Merriam-Webster Dictionary describes 'hillbilly' as a person from a backwoods area. It's not incredibly informative so here you'll find a more comprehensive definition. More commonly known as a group of people thought to have originated along a section of the eastern edge of North America, in an area known as Appalachia1, members of the Hillbilly culture tend to flock together in family units. Other nations boast similar sub-cultures, each with variations depending on that nation's laws, values and norms2. However, these variations are beyond the scope of this article, which concentrates on the American Hillbilly. Hillbillies can be collectively identified by the following traits: - There are more appliances in the yard than in the kitchen. - Vehicles dot the back yard. - Most vehicles are located on cement blocks. - All vehicles have gun racks in back window. - The favourite piece of china is the spittoon. Three Distinct Varieties The Hillbilly culture has its own hierachy and distinct groups of which the 'Mountain Williams' group is considered the elite among hillbilly society and can be identified by: - The appliances3 in the yard are organized by size. - The vehicles are new4 models, and possibly include a non-truck. - The spittoon has bits of goldtone5 plating remaining on some surfaces. Next in the pecking order is the 'Hill Billy', the most common variety: the middle class: - The appliances may include an ice-box6. - The pickup trucks may be equipped with AM radios. - The spittoon is a rusty coffee can. Last but not least are the 'Stump Jumpers'. These are the dregs of hillbilly society, considered even among other clansmen to be the lowest of the low and can be recognised by: - The most modern appliance is an old washboard. - The pick-up trucks have no beds. - The spittoon is a battered old beer can.

An epiretinal membrane (ERM) has other names such as macular pucker or cellophane maculopathy. It is often referred to as a “wrinkle on the retina.” Epiretinal membranes are quite common and occur in perfectly normal eyes. Symptoms of Macular Pucker An ERM is a thin membrane which covers the surface of the macula. The macula is the functional center of the retina providing 20/20 acuity and our best ability to see colors. The membrane can cause the underlying macular tissue to wrinkle or “pucker” causing blurry vision and/or distortion. Many ERMs do not affect vision and may be monitored. What Causes an ERM? In many cases, an epiretinal membrane can form on the surface of the retina following a PVD (posterior vitreous detachment), cataract surgery or following a retinal detachment or retinal tear. Diagnosis of ERM As with most retinal diseases, a dilated eye exam must be performed. After direct examination, Drs. Friedman and Moinfar will often confirm the diagnosis of macular pucker with specialized testing to include an Optical Coherence Tomography, fundus photography or fluorescein angiography. The goal of treatment is to surgically remove the epiretinal tissue. Microsurgical instruments and an operating microscope in combination with sutureless vitrectomy techniques can be used to delicately peel the membrane from the retinal surface. After removing the vitreous, the membrane can stained using special dyes allowing us to better visualize the membrane. We have found that use of the dyes allows easier visualization, but also decreases recurrence. Surgery is performed as an outpatient. Most cases are performed while you are are awake, but very comfortable. The procedure is painless. Surgery is generally recommended for patients with progressive loss of vision and worsening distortion. Progression can be correlated to worsening vision and/or changes in the examination such as the OCT. On very rare occasion, the ERM can spontaneously separate from the retina.

Testicular Cancer among Military Servicemen: The STEED Study Testicular germ cell cancer has been increasing among men during most of the 20th century. Despite this increase, the etiology of testicular cancer is poorly understood. To better understand the molecular epidemiology of testicular cancer, the National Cancer Institute and the Department of Defense are conducting a case-control study of testicular cancer among military servicemen. The project includes obtaining biosamples and questionnaire data from all participants. Pre-diagnostic serum samples are available from the approximately 1,100 cases and 1,100 controls enrolled in the study. Mothers of all participants are also invited to participate by donating a biosample and responding to a questionnaire. Hormone Levels Related to Testicular Germ Cell Tumors in STEED Testicular germ cell tumors (TGCTs) are cancers that occur, primarily, among young men. TGCTs, as well as several other male reproductive disorders, may have a perinatal etiology that also results in aberrant hormonal levels. To examine this hypothesis, investigators in DCEG have been studying hormone levels in men who went on to develop TGCT and men who did not, as part of the STEED study. Thus far, investigators have examined the gonadotropins, LH and FSH, the steroid hormones, estradiol, testosterone, and sex- androstane-3a,17ß-diol glucuronide (3adiol-G) levels, and sex-hormone binding globulin. To more completely characterize the hormonal milieu that may precede TGCT, DCEG investigators also plan to examine hCG, inhibin, dihydrotestosterone, dehydroepiandrosterone, dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate, and androsterone glucuronide. For more information, contact Katherine McGlynn.

Once again I have modified the comparative and superlative system. Hopefully this will be the final version! I have reverted to using prefixes. I hope to have a relatively small number of easily recognizable endings for adverbs and adjectives so using prefixes facilitates this. The prefixes are based on “ta” and “ko”, which respectivly indicate large and small quantities or numbers of something. On their own these words can mean “much/ great” or “few/ little”. To form a comparative “ta” or “ko” has “e-” placed before it to form “eta” or “eko”. Used on their own these words mean “more” or “lesser/ fewer”. The use of “e-” to indicate more or multiple is an idea I have adopted from Sona. To form a superlative “ta” or “ko” has “o-” placed before it to form “ota” or “oko”. Used on their own these words mean “most” or “least/ fewest”. This use of “o-” is reminiscent of the formation of some Japanese words, as indeed is “ko” and to a lesser degree “ta”. For the word “bon” (good) we can therefore form “bon, tabon, etabon and otabon”. If things are not so good we can say “kobon, ekobon or okobon”! If we decided to have absolute superlatives there are a couple of options. We could add an additional augmentative or diminutive to the end of the superlative. Alternately the definite article can be placed before the superlative. “It bi de otabon!”

Kary Mullis – PCR Testing was first discovered by Kary Mullis in 1983 and is now widely used as diversely as diagnostics, forensics, genetic testing and cloning. The PCR process is for amplifying DNA in a sample to detectable levels. This is very useful for small sample sizes. Some organisms such as viruses will contain only RNA and because of this, a reverse transcription process will convert the RNA to complimentary DNA (cDNA), which is used for the test. The earliest PCR processes were labour intensive and took many hours. Modern equipment will automate the process and diagnostic test results can be available in less than 2 hours. All parts of the PCR test are carried out automatically within the analyser. To amplify a segment of DNA using PCR, the sample is first heated so the DNA denatures, or separates into two pieces of single-stranded DNA. Next, an enzyme called "Taq polymerase" synthesizes - builds - two new strands of DNA, using the original strands as templates. This process results in the duplication of the original DNA, with each of the new molecules containing one old and one new strand of DNA. Then each of these strands can be used to create two new copies, and so on, and so on. The cycle of denaturing and synthesizing new DNA is repeated as many as 30 or 40 times, leading to more than one billion exact copies of the original DNA segment.

Blood Flow Restriction Training Blood Flow Restriction Training (BFRT) is a relatively new technique in the rehab industry that has gained popularity due to its unique approach to strength training. What is BFRT? BFRT involves restricting blood flow to specific muscles using a specialized cuff, while performing exercises with lighter loads. This creates a hypoxic environment in the muscle, which causes metabolic stress and leads to muscle fatigue. The Mechanism of BFRT By restricting blood flow, BFRT creates a hypoxic environment in the muscle, which triggers the release of growth hormones and promotes muscle hypertrophy. It also leads to the recruitment of a greater number of muscle fibers, resulting in muscle growth and strength gains. Requirements for BFRT To perform BFRT, you need a specialized cuff that can be inflated to a specific pressure, a blood flow restriction device, and access to weights or resistance bands for exercise. It's important to use the equipment properly and follow safety guidelines to avoid injury. The Benefits of Using BFRT BFRT can lead to increased muscle size and strength, improved endurance, and faster recovery from injuries. It can also be used to maintain muscle mass during periods of inactivity or immobilization, such as after surgery or during injury recovery. Why BFRT Leads to Faster Results BFRT allows for muscle growth and strength gains to occur with lighter loads, reducing the risk of injury and allowing for more frequent training sessions. It also creates a hypoxic environment, which stimulates the release of growth hormones and promotes muscle hypertrophy. This leads to faster results compared to traditional strength training methods.

Snowdrops (Galanthus nivalis) Snowdrops derive their name for two readily apparent reasons. First is their lovely milky white color that resembles snowy dew at the end of pale green stalks (Galanthus means “milky white flower”). The second is their bloom schedule. Snowdrops are almost always the first plants to flower in the spring, in some cases literally poking their heads up in between the last melting snows of March. Snowdrops are spread throughout the Conservatory Garden and can be found in almost all the flowering beds. The major benefit of planting Snowdrops is their early arrival. They can show up weeks before crocuses do, and will often poke through a covering of snow. In the South, snowdrops may even bloom all winter long. The facts – all species of Galanthus have bulbs, linear leaves, and erect flowering stalks, destitute of leaves but bearing at the top a solitary pendulous bell-shaped flower. Galanthus nivalis grows 15 cm tall, flowering in January or February in the northern temperate zone. The white flower has six petals, the outer three segments being larger and more convex than the inner series. The six anthers open by pores or short slits. The ovary is three-celled, ripening into a three-celled capsule. It has been suggested that the mysterious magical herb moly that appears in Homer’s Odyssey is actually snowdrop. An active substance in snowdrop is called galantamine, which, as anticholinesterase, could have acted as an antidote to Circe’s poisons. Please let us know if anyone is able to drop that tidbit into cocktail party conversation. Classical references aside the Snowdrop may simply be known best as the first sign that winter is almost over and spring is not only theoretical, but an imminent reality. One of the hidden wonders of Central Park is the Conservatory Garden at Fifth Avenue and 105th St. A secluded oasis, just a few steps down from one of the City’s busiest thoroughfares; the garden offers a fragrant respite from the gasp and clatter of the urban afternoon.

Q: Why shouldn’t you tell secrets on a farm? A: Because the potatoes have eyes and the corn has ears! Explanation: Ah, yes- more food jokes! When you look at a potato, you will see it has small bumps sticking out. It is from these points that new potato plants will grow. These points are called eyes, potato eyes. No, potatoes cannot see with their eyes. An ear of corn was explained here. When you take corn from the field, harvest the corn, you are taking the ears off of the plant. This joke is funny because it plays with the word eyes (eyes you see with/eyes of a potato) and ears (ears you hear with/ears of corn). If potatoes can see you and the corn can hear you, you probably shouldn’t tell secrets! Learn to grow potatoes here: Pingback: Week Starting 03 02 2020 – iconnect what does this pun mean?

WEEK 1 AUGUST 2011 5 Snack on berries for a great afternoon snack. Berries are rich in anthocyanins, compounds that slow cognitive decline and help you stay sharp. Blueberries are great. Blackcurrants are also excellent and a great source of Vitamin C which has long been thought to have the power to increase mental agility. 6 Ginkgo biloba stimulates brain circulation and memory. 7 Spinach and Broccoli. Spinach feeds the brain vital nutrients and enzymes that it needs to strengthen synapses and produce healthy levels of neurotransmitters as well as great source of folic acid. Broccoli is a great source of vitamin K, which is known to enhance cognitive function and improve brainpower. Sunflower seeds – a perfect salad topper is packed with memory-preserving vitamin E and folic acid, which offer significant protection from cognitive decline. Pumpkin seeds: Just a handful a day is all you need. The zinc is vital for enhancing memory and thinking skills. Flaxseeds are another excellent source of Omega 3 fatty acids. 9 Relax with a cup of green tea. It will help boost mental power and protect the brain from toxins and free radicals. It also helps ward off fatigue and improve concentration. 3 Suspect Foods. There is evidence that the following foods can be bad for your brain: Artificial food colourings, artificial sweeteners, colas, corn syrup, frostings, high-sugar drinks, hydrogenated fats, sugars, white bread, and any white-flour products. Saturated fats have been shown to actually stunt the growth of brain cells.

EVEN THE EVERY DAY USE LOTA REFLECTS IN CLEAR TERMS THE TWO NATION THEORY AND THAT IS INDEED AMAZING Observation is clearly required for analysis. We were reading a very interesting comment by world renowned historian Dr Abdullah Chaghatai. He compares the Islamic lota (used for toilet purposes) with the Hindu Guddawi (used for Astan purposes). There is a well defined sprout in the Muslim lota and hardly any sprout in the Guddawi. Dr Chaghatai spells it in clear terms. The Muslims needed a long sprout to clean that particular section of the body, while the Hindu community had no such requirement. Plenty of water, versus a small Guddawi for sprinkling purposes. This is not imagination, this is clear cut fact that the Lota represents the two nation theory so well. An Islamic Arts scholar came from London and we discussed the shape pf the sprout. He was defining the Lota in terms of centuries and I asked him, how on earth just by visual observation, he could date an utensil, and a lota. His reply was simple. He said it is the flow of the line. In a thousand years instead of advancing the aesthetics, you lost the basic aesthetic shape of the Lota. Amazing it was! Look around. We can all live in peace, but we also have to acknowledge two different ways of life. Islamic way tells us SAFAI NISF IMAN, Islamic faith is fifty percent all about cleanliness. And a long sprout enables us to clean all parts of the body involved in toilet. One thought on “EVEN THE EVERY DAY USE LOTA REFLECTS IN CLEAR TERMS – THE TWO NATION THEORY AND THAT IS INDEED AMAZING” A long sprout enables the Muslim to reach that part of body for cleanliness not accessible otherwise.A simple toilet cleaning exercise!

Researchers from Sweden analysed the data from 11 trials and almost 7,000 patients with the disease and found that eating just 50g extra of processed meat per day can increase risk of developing pancreatic cancer by 19 per cent. However the risk of developing pancreatic cancer, one of the most aggressive and deadly cancers, remains comparatively low: according to Cancer Research UK, one in 77 men will get it in their lifetime, and one in 79 women. The UK government already recommends people limit their daily intake of processed meat such as sausages and bacon to 70g a day, after a link was found to bowel cancer. “Pancreatic cancer has poor survival rates. So as well as diagnosing it early, it’s important to understand what can increase the risk of this disease,” said the study lead, Professor Susanna Larsson of the Karolinska Institute, Stockholm. The World Cancer Research Fund (WCRF) said the report may be an early indication of another risk factor for pancreatic cancer. It says there is also “strong evidence” that being overweight or obese increases the risk of getting the disease and already advises people to cut processed meats out of their diets entirely. “We will be re-examining the factors behind pancreatic cancer later this year as part of our Continuous Update Project, which should tell us more about the relationship between cancer of the pancreas and processed meat,” said WCRF deputy head of science Rachel Thompson.

نوع مقاله : مقاله پژوهشی عنوان مقاله [English] Water pricing is one of the important economic tools for water increasing demand management in the agricultural sector. In this study the economic value of agricultural water was calculated by using production function, in plain of Yazd–Ardakan. For this purpose, the required data through questionnaires from farmers producing wheat samples were collected in 1387-1388. After studying the results of different production functions, the generalized Leontief production function was selected as desired production function for wheat crop. The results of estimating water demand function shows that price elasticity of demand is equal to -2, that indicate demand of water is sensitive to water price changes. Therefore, using of pricing policies is an economic tool for reducing water use. Also, water economic value and water unit price per cubic meter were calculated 997.5 and 530,8 rials, respectively. The difference between economic value and unit price of water can be one of the reasons of excessive and unefficiency water use in wheat production.

Generally speaking, news is an information report about current events. It is usually given in newspapers or on the radio. Typically, the news must be significant, interesting, and new. It must also be brief. In the past, news was mainly printed and manually typed. However, in the 20th century, television became an important means of transmitting news. Today, the Internet plays a similar role. In the past, news stories were only told once, but in the 21st century, they can be shared and viewed by many people at once. That is why many advocacy organizations pitch their news stories to media. They hope to reach funders and policy makers through their stories. Although the way news is judged is the same everywhere, news values vary depending on the medium used. For instance, some theories explain the news value of money stories. These include economic crises, food prices, and school fees. Another news value is exclusivity. Some newspapers and producers draw attention to this. It is considered newsworthy if it is exclusive to the publication. An element of surprise is also a factor in determining the news value of a story. In addition, news stories can have positive or negative overtones. Besides the factors described above, news values can be influenced by arbitrary variables. For example, a new insect discovery could be a major news story. But, the general public would not find it interesting. Similarly, a coup d’etat in a neighboring country would affect the stability of the country.

What does EU organic mean? Europe Union Organic EU legislation ensures that ‘organic’ means the same for consumers and producers all over the EU. Legislation concerning organic produce is developed with the participation of Member States and the assistance of advisory and technical committees and expert bodies. What problem can be reduced by organic farming methods? A new study has found that organic farming is much more efficient at recycling nitrogen than conventional farming, helping reduce global nitrogen pollution, New Hope reports. How organic farming is important? Organic farming which is a holistic production management system that promotes and enhances agro-ecosystem health, including biodiversity, biological cycles, and soil biological activity is hence important. The increased soil health in organic farms also resulted in considerably lower insect and disease incidence. Which is the first organic country? Estonia – the World’s first organic country! How can I start organic farming at home? Here are the most crucial things to remember, according to her: - Prepare the soil with cow dung and nutritious compost (to make your compost, order this kit) - Look out for weeds, pests after planting. - Everyday care is a must. - Hang yellow or blue boards with castor oil spread on them to prevent pests. Is there an international organization for organic farming? Organic farming. Organic agricultural methods are internationally regulated and legally enforced by many nations, based in large part on the standards set by the International Federation of Organic Agriculture Movements (IFOAM), an international umbrella organization for organic farming organizations established in 1972. How is organic farming different from conventional farming? Organic farming relies more heavily on the natural breakdown of organic matter then the average conventional farm, using techniques like green manure and composting, to replace nutrients taken from the soil by previous crops. How does the USDA help your organic business? USDA Organic. Many USDA agencies serve the growing organic sector. Whether you’re already certified organic, considering transitioning all or part of your operation, or working with organic producers, we have resources for you. This portal connects you with programs, services, and educational materials that can help your organic farm or business. Where can I find information on organic agriculture? This Website offers information on organic agriculture available at FAO. It also functions as a “road map” whereby users are directed to other relevant websites.

Peguis First Nation is a Treaty 1 First Nation, located in Manitoba, Canada. There are approximately 10,246 members of Peguis First Nation of Ojibway and Cree descent. The main community of Peguis, Peguis 1B, is located approximately 196 km north of Winnipeg. Peguis 1B is located in the East Interlake Watershed District along the Fisher River. Peguis First Nation depends on the Fisher River as a source of subsistence, and for transportation within the community. However, the physical location of the community on the banks of the river means the community is not only vulnerable to changes in the quality of the Fisher River, but also threatened by varying water levels and flooding due to hydro electric and water control infrastructure and climate change impacts. Peguis First Nation homes, businesses, and community infrastructure (including the water treatment plant and roads) are all adjacent to the Fisher River and potentially at risk. Peguis understands that a changing climate will impact the risk of flooding in the community. Furthermore, Peguis recognizes that water levels in the Fisher River are influenced by both environmental factors and active management by hydroelectric control structures, creating a dynamic and complex system that requires an integrated and strategic management approach. In addition to flood and water-related risks, the main community of Peguis First Nation is located in dense forest lands that have experienced several burns in the past few years, most recently in the spring of 2021. As summers get hotter and drier, the threat of fire in these mature forests presents a severe risk to Peguis citizens. As a result, fire management—including planning, prevention and fire-fighting capacity—is of utmost importance to Peguis First Nation. Hotter and drier summers are also impacting Peguis citizens’ ability to use controlled or broadcast burns to maintain and modify the landscapes to regenerate culturally important vegetation (including medicines) and pasturelands for livestock Flood and fire risk are exacerbated by extreme and severe weather events that the community has faced for several years. These extreme weather events, such as strong winds, snowstorms and the threat of flooding, have caused significant damage to the community, and at times, have resulted in emergency evacuations. Extreme weather is another one of the vulnerabilities that the community faces as climate change continues to affect the area. Peguis First Nation aims to take action to address these risks by establishing an integrated and strategic climate change adaptation plan through this Project.

Influence of dams on stream fish biodiversity across a diverse Georgia landscape Type of DegreeThesis Fisheries and Allied Aquacultures MetadataShow full item record The composition of a stream fish assemblage is strongly influenced by the drainage basin, physiographic region, and the stream order it occurs in. It is also well known that anthropogenic disturbances can dramatically influence stream communities. My study investigated responses of fish faunas in Georgia to an anthropogenic disturbance, non-hydroelectric dams, a very common disturbance in streams of the South-eastern U.S. Fish assemblage sensitivity to dams was compared across drainages (Alabama, Altamaha and Apalachicola), physiographic provinces (Ridge and Valley, Piedmont, and Coastal Plain), and stream orders (1-3). Overall, similarity within treatment sites was 5.6% (P = 0.040) higher than similarity within free-flowing reference sites across the landscape, suggesting that dams contributed to fish faunal homogenization. One major difference in the below-dam assemblages was a 13.37% mean increase in relative abundance of Lepomis individuals. However, the relative abundances of darter individuals, non-native species, benthic fluvial specialists, and cyprinid insectivores did not change significantly. Overall biotic integrity was significantly lower for treatment site assemblages (P = 0.041), but native species richness was not significantly affected. I found no significant difference in habitat parameters between treatment and reference sites. Physiographic region, drainage basin, and stream order did not significantly influence assemblage sensitivity to dams as indicated with an Index of Biotic Integrity (IBI). Site distance downstream of a dam in the range of 0.2-10.5 km did not significantly impact IBI score or native species richness, and likewise proportion of the watershed dammed did not significantly influence either IBI score or native species richness.

400 Market St #220, Chapel Hill, NC 27516 We are well into winter, and that typically means we spend less time soaking up the sun, and in turn, our bodies get less vitamin D. While there’s a well-known link between overall health and even happiness and vitamin D, it may surprise you learn that there’s also a strong correlation between a lack of vitamin D and oral health problems. Our dental office in Chapel Hill wants to help our patients not only understand why vitamin D is so important for oral health but also learn other ways (besides sunshine) to get it. Getting a healthy dose of vitamin D daily not only helps boost our immune systems, but it can also help keep us healthier. Vitamin D keeps blood pressure low, aids the pancreas in producing insulin, and lowers the risk for infections including, but not limited to, gum disease. However, when we aren’t getting enough vitamin D, our bodies and teeth are at risk. Vitamin D deficiency has been linked to osteoporosis, increased risk for type 1 diabetes, and even breast, colon, or prostate cancer. But the dangers don’t end there. Numerous studies have shown that vitamin D deficiency also increases the risk of dental decay. This is because vitamin D helps the body absorb calcium and phosphate — both of which are crucial for building and keeping strong tooth enamel. Without an adequate intake of vitamin D, our teeth are at risk for weakening and developing cavities. The sun is a great way to fuel our bodies with vitamin D. But during winter months it becomes difficult to spend time outside enjoying the sun’s rays. To compensate, it’s important to make sure you’re getting enough vitamin D from somewhere else. Some great ways to keep up with your vitamin D intake is by: Perhaps vitamin D’s most important job is helping us absorb calcium. The truth is, without vitamin D our bodies don’t absorb nearly enough calcium to protect our bones (and our teeth!) from deterioration. Make sure to pair foods high in vitamin D with those containing a lot of calcium such as: Providing your body with the right amount of vitamin D is important not only for your body but also for your oral health. Make sure your diet is packed with enough vitamin D and calcium to protect your smile. As always, our dental office in Chapel Hill is here to help get and keep your smile healthy for life.

Following a visit by some of its members to an after school program in Providence, RI, the Wallace Foundation, a nonprofit dedicated to increasing access to quality educational programs, shared this quote from a student: “I’d walk a mile for a quality program. But I wouldn’t walk across the street for a bad one.” Over the past 15 years, the need for quality after school programs has increased. And, as the field continues to progress, the need to monitor and improve program quality also increases. Quality programs have garnered a wide range of support and funding from public and private sources. To sustain such support, programs must deliver positive results consistently. Quality programs possess characteristics that support and promote healthy learning and development. A 2011 issue brief from the After School Alliance outlines 8 common characteristics of quality after school programs: - Prepared staff - Intentional programming - Alignment with the school day - Promotion of varied youth engagement - Strong community partners - Safety, health and wellness - Sustained student participation and access - Ongoing assessment and improvement</BL> Through a commitment to quality improvement, programs can ensure positive results in student achievement, behavior and family and social life. Read the full issue brief to learn more about the characteristics of quality after school programs.

Scientists just found out a crucial part of what makes SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19, so infectious: It's capable of sneaking into our cells totally under the radar. It's a devious biological trick. A team of scientists at the University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio discovered that the coronavirus contains a particular enzyme, nsp16, that it uses to fool our cells into thinking it's supposed to be there. "It's a camouflage," lead author Yogesh Gupta said in a press release. The enzyme allows SARS-CoV-2 to modify part of the RNA molecules that make up its genetic code, according to research published Friday in the journal Nature Communications — a tweak that tricks the host cell into accepting the virus as part of itself rather than triggering an immune system response. "Because of the modifications, which fool the cell, the resulting viral messenger RNA is now considered as part of the cell's own code and not foreign," Gupta said. Thankfully, now that scientists have uncovered the virus' trick, they may be able to develop antiviral medications that block it from happening. That way, the virus would have a much harder time sneaking into our bodies without raising any alarms. "This is a fundamental advance in our understanding of the virus," study co-author Dr. Robert Hromas said in the release.

AAI Remembers Nelson Mandela Statement from Amini Kajunju, President and CEO of The Africa-America Institute Today, The Africa-America Institute (AAI), joins the world in mourning the passing of South African President Nelson Mandela. A great son of Africa, throughout his life Mandela stood for justice and peace in South Africa with grace and tenacity. Despite the enormous obstacles and crippling burden of apartheid, he envisioned a nation where all people had equal rights and freedom. Mandela was committed to education and was a lifelong educator. He once said: “Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world.” Education was a way to break down barriers and foster peace. Few knew that while he was imprisoned on Robben Island, he taught his fellow prisoners and even illiterate Afrikaaner guards to read. A longtime friend of AAI, we honored him in 1992 for leading the struggle against apartheid and commitment to education, development and democracy. Nelson Mandela steadfastly believed in AAI’s mission of advancing education to bolster development on the African continent. “AAI helps to empower our people and give them opportunities to acquire knowledge and skills, technology and equipment to make them better citizens,” he remarked about AAI. As we remember Mandela’s life and legacy, we must commit to redoubling our efforts to expand access to education on all levels in Africa to accelerate development progress and to build a strong educated and skilled workforce. Thank you Madiba for your commitment to education and dedication to empowering all people worldwide!

Pretend to be a Paleontologist These Dinosaur Skeleton play dough mats can be used in many different ways depending on the age using them. Experiment with how the bones go together or what the dinosaur may have looked like using the bones as a base. What is Paleontology? Paleontology is the study of the history of life. It is a combination of Geology (study of rocks) and Biology (Study of Life). Paleontologists use fossils to try to figure out three main things about fossils: Identity and origin of the fossil, the fossil’s environment, and what the fossil can tell us about the history of the earth. Because paleontologists are interested in finding out about all life on earth, they study all kinds of fossils, not just dinosaur bones. There are many different types of paleontologists. Some study fossil plants, some study fossil fish, some study fossil mammals, and some study dinosaurs. Some play ideas: - make the shapes of the bones out of play dough and see if you can get them to fit together - use large pieces of play dough to cover the bones and pretend to be the muscle and skin of the dinosaur - Use tissue and white glue cover the bones and make them 3d. Shape coloured tissue over the top to make the skin of the dinosaur This kids STEM activities can be used to promote: Language skills: labelling the bones, asking questions and inquiry, discussing procedural elements of the task, counting the bones Social skills: Sharing ideas, working with a partner to create the shapes/stick down objects, turn taking Fine motor skills: manipulating materials, using tools to create shapes/cut Please don’t forget to share your creations on social media using the hashtag #inspiredbyokdolls Printables are for home and educator/classroom use.

Download the methodological supplement Far too many patients in some Australian hospitals get a treatment they should not receive, against all evidence that the treatment is unnecessary or does not work. This report identifies five treatments that should not be given to certain types of patients. Yet this happened to nearly 6000 people – or 16 people a day – in 2010-11. These treatments – which include treating osteoarthritis of the knee with an arthroscope, filling a backbone with cement to treat fractures and putting patients in a pressurised oxygen chamber when it will not improve their condition – can cause harm. Some patients who had the treatments developed infections during their hospital stay or could have avoided the stress, cost, inconvenience and risk of a hospital stay altogether. These treatments happen in only a minority of hospitals, but some of those hospitals provide them at 10 or 20 times the average rate, at great cost to patients and the community. Australia needs a system to let these outlier hospitals know where they stand so that they can improve their care. More thorough use of data that governments already possess could identify many more treatments that should be performed rarely or never on many patients. There are reasons why clinicians sometimes choose inappropriate treatments. Evidence about treatments can be hard for clinicians to evaluate, access and use. There is little systematic monitoring of where these treatments happen, and there are rarely major negative consequences for providing ineffective care. In fact, hospitals and clinicians get income for doing so. This report explains how and why some patients get ineffective care and what governments should do to ensure that far fewer people get the wrong treatment.

Anomaly Detection is a widely used for Machine Learning as a service to find out the abnormalities in a system. The idea is to create a model under a probabilistic distribution. In our case, we will be dealing with the Normal (Gaussian) distribution. So, when a system works normally it’s features reside under a normal curve. And when it behaves abnormally, it’s features move to the far ends of the normal distribution curve. Middle area shows distribution of normal behavior and the red areas on the far ends show distribution of abnormal behavior. If you already don’t know, you should read the concepts of Mean, Variance and Standard Deviation first. In the next paragraphs I’ll be addressing how do we create a distribution curve for our system? The system I work on generates a file, daily. Having different number of lines in it every day. There is no defined range for the number of lines it should have. So, my problem was how to auto-detect if the file for today had too low number of lines or too high number of lines. Now that I had data for two weeks. I could find out the mean (average) number of lines. On the distribution curve in Figure 1, this would be the middle of the curve horizontally, i-e 0 on the x axis. But in the list of line counts above, it can be seen that actual values deviate from the mean, which is 55728.722222 in this case. For example, take 68336 which is reasonably away from the mean. I had the valid data, but I no false examples. That is, the examples that will guage the accuracy of my anomaly detection system. What I did was added a few examples that I consider as anomalous, and see if my system learns and predicts correctly. It could be seen that our original data follows a pattern. Whereas the false examples we added later are scattered away. Those are the outliers we want to catch!! Let’s do some calculations to get mean and variance of our training dataset. What we do here is use mean and variance to model a normal (Gaussian) distribution like the one shown in Figure 1. And then we calculate f1score to find out a value (Epsilon) which we can set as best decisive threshold between our normal and abnormal values. [sharethis-inline-buttons]

Intertidal shellfish operations are often hindered by biofouling. In Puget Sound, an estuarine fjord in Washington State which hosts many commercial shellfish farms, a particularly interesting form of biofouling can occur. Basket cockles (Clinocardium nuttallii), a medium-sized bivalve, accumulate in aquaculture cultivation equipment such as PVC piping and mesh tubes (see Figure 1) used for planting geoduck (Panopea generosa) seed. Farmers sometimes remove and discard cockles from these tubes as they worry that the density of cockles may limit the growth and yield of their target crop, geoduck. However, this ‘nuisance’ species has been a preferred food for many Native American tribes in the Puget Sound region for thousands of years. In fact, some of the earliest forms of aquaculture were “clam gardens” which indigenous people would actively cultivate and care for. Recently, cockles have become increasingly difficult for tribal members to find in their usual and accustomed fishing areas. This presents an opportunity to create a mutually beneficial relationship between shellfish farmers and tribal communities, providing an outlet for this unwanted byproduct of geoduck aquaculture while restoring a preferred indigenous food. Here we discuss our work to investigate the prevalence and patterns of cockle biofouling on geoduck farms across Puget Sound. We conducted surveys on two large commercial farms in the summer of 2022 to estimate the potential harvestable biomass of cockles per cultivated area. We then looked at cockle abundance and biomass in relation to factors such as geoduck presence, tidal elevation, geoduck tube condition, and geoduck planting date. By developing a more comprehensive understanding of these relationships, as well as the abundance of this fouling species across geoduck farms, we seek to maximize efficiency and success in potential future efforts to harvest and utilize these cockles.

Building a natural language processing (NLP) system using Python involves the following steps: - Install necessary libraries: Python has several libraries that are useful for NLP, including NLTK, TextBlob, spaCy, and Gensim. Choose the library that suits your needs and install it. - Data collection: Before you can start processing natural language, you need data to analyze. You can collect data from various sources such as websites, social media platforms, and text files. - Text preprocessing: Once you have collected your data, you need to pre-process it. Pre-processing includes cleaning the text of any unnecessary characters, converting text to lowercase, and removing stop words. - Tokenization: Tokenization is the process of breaking text into individual words or phrases. This step is important because it allows you to analyze each word or phrase in the text. - Part-of-speech tagging: Part-of-speech tagging is the process of labeling each word in the text with its corresponding part of speech (noun, verb, adjective, etc.). This step is necessary because it helps determine the meaning of each word in a sentence. - Named entity recognition: Named entity recognition (NER) is the process of identifying and classifying named entities such as people, organizations, and locations in a text. NER is crucial in many NLP applications such as sentiment analysis and text summarization. - Sentiment analysis: Sentiment analysis is the process of determining the sentiment or opinion expressed in a piece of text. This step is useful in analyzing customer feedback, product reviews, and social media posts. - Topic modeling: Topic modeling is the process of identifying topics in a collection of text documents. It is helpful for organizing large amounts of unstructured data and is often used in applications such as text summarization and content recommendation. - Machine learning: Machine learning techniques such as classification and regression can be used to train models to perform specific NLP tasks. These models can be used to automatically classify text and extract useful information. By following these steps and using Python libraries, you can build a powerful NLP system that can be used in a variety of applications.

Children are particularly vulnerable to series head and neck injuries due to bicycle accidents, therefore, the Tennessee passed a mandatory bicycle helmet statute (“the Act”) to require all children under 16 years old to wear helmets while operating a bicycle. However, the Act does not mandate helmets for anyone 16 and over; therefore, the protections are only partially extended. The Legislature found that fewer than five percent of children nationwide wear helmets despite extensive evidence that they prevent or obviate serious disability or death if an accident occurs. The Act includes all bicycles, including multi-seats and tandem-operated bikes. However, it specifically excludes tricycles. The Helmet Law covers both the operator and passengers on a bike. Therefore, a child riding a bike operated by an adult would be required to wear a helmet. Special Rules for Children In addition to the helmet rule, the Act also created a second safety requirement for children under 40 pounds or under 40 inches in height which obligated them to ride in separate seats with restraints (i.e. belts). Therefore, bikes marketed with spare seats who want to cater to children must include safety belts. For adult offenders (i.e. parents who do not put helmets on their kids) the fine is two dollars. However, if within a year of the offense, the accused purchases a helmet and provides proof – they may recover the fine or avoid paying it entirely. Children are not fined or punished for failing to wear a helmet. Effect on Adults While anyone 16 and over is excluded from the Helmet Law, the failure to wear a helmet in an accident may be considered by the court as evidence that any award of compensation should be reduced. The courts take the position that plaintiffs who are partially responsible for the accident or their injuries should have their compensation reduced to reflect the plaintiff’s contribution to their injury. Concerning bicycle accidents, if an adult fails to wear a helmet and suffers substantial injuries in an accident (injuries that could have been reduced by a helmet), the court may consider that as evidence that his damages should be reduced. Moreover, this presumption is reinforced when the Government passes laws or publishes reports that find wearing helmets is safer and affords greater protection. However, Tennessee specifically excludes the use of failure to wear a helmet or safety restraint, as evidence in any civil trial.

The history it contains refers to a period perhaps about one hundred and twenty-six years before the birth of David. It gives (1) an account of Naomi's going to Moab with her husband, Elimelech, and of her subsequent return to Bethlehem with her daughter-in-law; (2) the marriage of Boaz and Ruth; and (3) the birth of Obed, of whom David sprang. The author of this book was probably Samuel, according to Jewish tradition. "Brief as this book is, and simple as is its... Let thine eyes be on the field that they do reap, and go thou after them: have I not charged the young men that they shall not touch thee? and when thou art athirst, go unto the vessels, and drink of that which the young men have drawn. And Boaz answered and said unto her, It hath fully been shewed me, all that thou hast done unto thy mother in law since the death of thine husband: and how thou hast left thy father and thy mother, and the land of thy nativity, and art come unto a people which thou knewest not heretofore. Then she said, Let me find favour in thy sight, my lord; for that thou hast comforted me, and for that thou hast spoken friendly unto thine handmaid, though I be not like unto one of thine handmaidens. And Boaz said unto her, At mealtime come thou hither, and eat of the bread, and dip thy morsel in the vinegar. And she sat beside the reapers: and he reached her parched corn, and she did eat, and was sufficed, and left. And her mother in law said unto her, Where hast thou gleaned to day? and where wroughtest thou? blessed be he that did take knowledge of thee. And she shewed her mother in law with whom she had wrought, and said, The man's name with whom I wrought to day is Boaz. And Naomi said unto her daughter in law, Blessed be he of the LORD, who hath not left off his kindness to the living and to the dead. And Naomi said unto her, The man is near of kin unto us, one of our next kinsmen.

Doktor Hertzsprung, Doctor Russell, Why is your diagram such a tussle ? Why is your axis the wrong way round, Higher to lower, bluer to redder ? Does it reveal some secret profound, Hotter to cooler, younger to deader ? Your sweeping main sequence is mirrored about, Your plot’s lost the plot, and your graph’s up the spout. Actually, I’m being a little unfair here. The original plot was absolute magnitude (aka luminosity) on the y-axis, and the peak wavelength of light on the x (or ‘spectral type’). Since high-energy blue light has many more waves in the same distance as lower-energy red light, so the length between peaks in red light is longer, and thus a higher number. (Incidentally, Omicron2 Eriadne B was the first white dwarf discovered in 1910.) When it was later realised that the wavelengths directly related to surface tempurature, the latter was substituted, but now the numbers were going down instead of up, and nobody bothered to flip it. But thanks to the wonders of the internet, I was able to rustle up the following:

Inter- and intra-annual velocity variations are well known on alpine glaciers, but their importance for Arctic glaciers has only been recognized more recently. This paper presents flow velocity data from Finsterwalderbreen, a 35 km2 polythermal surge-type glacier in southern Svalbard that is presently ∼100 years into its quiescent phase. Field measurements of glacier surface velocities are available from 1950–52 and 1994–97, and mean velocities for the last decade are estimated for the lower glacier using cables drilled to the glacier bed. These velocities show substantial seasonal variations indicating that basal sliding is an important component of surface velocities and interannual fluctuations of up to 75%, possibly indicating variations in subglacial water storage. Several lines of evidence indicate that this glacier has an extensive subglacial hydrological system, generally considered to be a prerequisite for surge-type glaciers, which is at least partly pressurized. Information on surface morphology from 1898 onwards shows that the glacier has experienced continuous retreat since the last surge in about 1910, and has now retreated ∼1.5 km further back than its previous pre-surge position in 1898. Tracking of moraine loops on terrestrial and aerial photographs acquired over a 100 year period indicates that the surge period of Finsterwalderbreen may be lengthening in response to climate changes. |Number of pages||5| |Journal||Annals of Glaciology| |Publication status||Published - 1 Aug 2005|

In February 2013, the Constitutional Convention considered a proposal to amend Article 40.1 to include an explicit reference to gender equality as a fundamental right – 62 per cent voted in favour of the change.1 Eighty-nine per cent of participants supported amending the Constitution to include gender-inclusive language.2 Furthermore, 88 per cent of Constitutional Convention participants voted in favour of amending the clause in Article 41.2 on the role of women in the home.3 The Convention suggested that the provision should be made gender-neutral to take account of other carers in the home and recommended extending the provision to carers outside the home. According to Census 2011, there are 187,112 people providing unpaid care or assistance, the majority of whom (61 per cent) are women.4 The Government put in place a taskforce of senior civil servants from the Department of Justice and Equality to consider how best to include gender-neutral language in the Constitution. The taskforce is due to report back to the Government with recommendations by 31 October 2014.5 The position of women in the context of each of the rights outlined in the Covenant will be reviewed throughout this report. FLAC urges the Committee to recommend that the State: Hold a referendum, as soon as practicable, to amend the Irish Constitution to include gender-inclusive language, in line with the recommendation of the Constitutional Convention.

New Harvard Study Shows Benefits of Active Learning Versus Lecture A recent study from Harvard University researchers shows that even though students feel like they learn more through traditional lectures, they actually learn more in classrooms that employ active learning strategies. The study, which was published in a September 4 issue PNAS, exposes students in an introductory physics class at Harvard to lecture and active learning. For the first eleven weeks of the course, students attended a standard class taught by an experienced professor. In the twelfth week, half the class was randomly assigned to a classroom that used active learning, and the other half attended lectures. During the next class, the two groups were reversed. Students were surveyed after each class and were tested on how much they learned through a short multiple choice test. Results showed that while students felt like they learned more in lectures, they scored higher on tests following active learning sessions. The results shed light on how students feel about active learning. Oftentimes, students who are experiencing active learning for the first time can become frustrated and resist the techniques. It’s not until later that they see the benefits of active learning strategies. “Deep learning is hard work. The effort involved in active learning can be misinterpreted as a sign of poor learning,” said Louis Deslauriers, lead author on the study and director of science teaching and learning and senior physics preceptor at Harvard University, as quoted in the Harvard Gazette. “On the other hand, a superstar lecturer can explain things in such a way as to make students feel like they are learning more than they actually are.” Study results also elucidate student evaluations, which sometimes do not correlate with actual learning in a course. “Students might give fabulous evaluations to an amazing lecturer based on this feeling of learning, even though their actual learning isn’t optimal. This could help to explain why study after study shows that student evaluations seem to be completely uncorrelated with actual learning,” Deslauriers said.

Hearing loss affects millions of people in the U.S. each year. In fact, it is the third most common health problem for older adults behind only arthritis and heart disease. The good news? Hearing loss is easily treated. If you think you may have hearing loss, a hearing test is the only way to know for sure. Below are five reasons why you should have your hearing tested today. Untreated Hearing Loss Is Dangerous Choosing not to treat your hearing loss puts you at risk of a number of mental and physical problems. Most notably, untreated hearing loss has may increase your risk of developing dementia. Treating Your Hearing Loss Is Beneficial for Your Health While untreated hearing loss can be detrimental to your health, choosing to treat your hearing loss with the use of hearing aids can delay the onset of dementia, decrease your likelihood of developing anxiety and even prevent you from falling. Hearing Tests are Easy Unlike other medical exams, hearing tests are simple, painless and quick. According to the American Speech-Language-Hearing AssociationAmerican Speech-Language-Hearing Association, hearing tests for adults fall into one of five categories: - Pure-tone testing - Speech testing - Tests of the middle ear - Auditory brainstem response (ABR) - Otoacoustic emissions (OAEs) A Warning Sign of Something Else Your hearing loss may be a warning sign or red flag for other more serious medical conditions. Cardiovascular disease and diabetes both include hearing loss on their list of symptoms. By putting off getting a hearing test, you put yourself at risk of delaying an important diagnosis. Establish a Baseline Even if you are exhibiting few signs of hearing loss, getting a hearing test on file is helpful for the future. Having baseline results recorded gives your audiologist something to compare your test results to later on. This ensures they will be able to make a diagnosis early, getting you treatment quickly. As they say: better safe than sorry. If your loved ones are pushing you to get your hearing tested, audiologists recommend coming in even if you don’t think you have a problem. If the tests come back that you do have a loss, they can work with you to determine an individualized treatment plan. And if the test results prove everything is fine, you get to tell everyone you love “I told you so.” Contact the experts at Wilmington Audiology today to schedule your hearing test.

I’m new to Easel and have made a few projects that came out good, but I’m having trouble with my latest one. I want to make a circle with a letter in the middle and attached to the inner rim. The only way I could figure out to do it was to do a screen capture and the paste it into Paint, then erase the overlapping cuts and save it as a JPG. I then took the JPG and opened it in Image Trace. It worked but I wasn’t happy with the results because Image Trace makes all the single lines into double lines and then I have to use a small bit and a Clear Out Pocket cut. Is there a way to join a letter to a circle and is there a way to have Image Trace make the wide JPG lines come out as a single line? I will try to post a link to the project. You can do it with two circles and a letter in Easel. Here is your project with added workpieces showing each step. - Create two circles; one the diameter you wish the entire piece to be at some depth other than zero and the other the diameter you wish the inside of the piece to be at zero depth - Combine the two circles to form a ring - Add the letter wish to use in the font you want - Resize the letter so that two or more edges are just touching the new ring that was created after combining the two circles - Combine the ring and the letter - Set the newly created object to full depth of cut and “Cut outside shape path” You would end up with something like this. Does that answer your question? With respect to Image Trace, it depends on the image being traced as to what the output is. The double-line thing is something that happens quite often when tracing images that are output from certain other programs. Thanks for the quick answer, I’ll give it a try. Works perfect. The trick and what I was not doing is to make the inner circle a 0 depth before combining. You are very much welcome! I am glad to be able to help…

Direct current (DC) is the preferred technology for moving large amounts of power across long distances. DC results in overall higher efficiency and reliability than an equivalently-sized alternating current (AC) system moving the same amount of power. The Advantages of DC More efficient: Over long distances, DC transmission can move more power with less electrical losses than an equivalent AC transmission line. Lower Cost: Higher efficiency means a lower transmission cost, helping renewable energy compete against other power sources. Improved Reliability: HVDC transmission can enhance system stability, allow the operator complete control over power flow, and facilitate the integration of wind from different resource areas. Smaller Footprint: DC transmission lines require narrower right-of-way footprints, using less land, than equivalent AC lines. The major advantage of DC power lines is their efficiency—less energy is lost as it is transmitted and there is no need for reactive compensation along the line. Because DC (Direct Current) flows steadily through the wires without changing direction many times each second and through the entire conductor rather than at the surface, DC (Direct Current) transmission lines typically lose less power than AC transmission lines. How HVDC Works Historically, the transfer of electricity between regions of the United States has been over high voltage alternating current (AC) transmission lines, which means that both the voltage and the current on these lines move in a wave-like pattern along the lines and are continually changing direction. In North America, this change in direction occurs 60 times per second (defined as 60 hertz [Hz]). The electric power transmitted over AC transmission lines is exactly the same as the power we use every day from AC outlets, but at a much higher voltage. Unlike an AC transmission line, the voltage and current on a direct current (DC) transmission line are not time varying, meaning they do not change direction as energy is transmitted. DC electricity is the constant, zero-frequency movement of electrons from an area of negative (-) charge to an area of positive (+) charge.

Ulster University and Dublin City University (DCU) are pioneering the development of new technology as part of a €5 million research project that aims to significantly increase survival rates of patients with cardiovascular disease – the world’s leading cause of death and disability. With treatment for cardiovascular disease costing the EU almost €200 billion annually, the revolutionary PATHway project aims to reduce recovery times and increase survival rates by changing lifestyle focused behaviours and empowering patients to take control of their treatment at home. The world-first technology is being developed by Ulster University and DCU in conjunction with European medical and industry partners. The research is being funded by the European Horizon 2020 programme. It will enable patients to track, monitor and personalise their recovery, using internet-enabled, sensor-based tracking and analysis. The collaboration is part of a 20 year partnership between both universities which aims to maximise research outcomes across the island of Ireland. Professor Jim McLaughlin, Director of the Engineering Research Institute at Ulster University and its Nanotechnology and Integrated Bioengineering Centre, said: “For cardiovascular disease patients, two of the most important steps towards recovery are feeling in “Traditional hospital based treatments can be isolating and uptake of current community based rehabilitation and structured exercise programmes is typically very low, leading to poor patient outcomes. “Ulster University’s collaboration with DCU, which will be led by Dr. Dewar Finlay, refines the unique PATHway platform so patients can be offered an effective, results driven solution that they can tailor to personal circumstances. This internationally leading research will have a major impact on the rate and speed of recovery, saving lives and securing vast cost savings for health service providers globally.” PATHway will increase awareness of negative lifestyle factors such as diet, alcohol and smoking that can influence recovery and aims to support a change in behaviour. The internet-based interaction will encourage joint exercise programmes with other patients and support positive mental health by helping patients to share experiences online. A personalised avatar will provide virtual encouragement and support towards key recovery goals. Dr Kieran Moran, Head of Dublin City University’s School of Health and Human Performance said: “This collaboration will allow key partners to fully understand and address the barriers to lifestyle changes and understand what factors prevent patients from adopting healthier lifestyles that could benefit their long term prognosis.”

The Peace Garden ministry is to promote biodiversity among our gardens and create a habitat for all native species. It was created with that mission in mind. Saint Barnabas Peace Garden: A Native Michigan Plant Garden Native plants require less fertilizing, watering and spraying, and are a welcome addition to any garden. So why don’t more people plant them? Most people are unaware of the existence of native plants, but a little research pays off big when planting Michigan native species. - SAVE WORK USING NATIVE PLANTS Native plants have many benefits beyond labor saving, although that is one of the most immediate benefits to the gardener. Native plants are uniquely adapted to Michigan soil, climate and water levels; this means they are much more drought / freeze resistant. Their extensive root systems help break up clay, prevent soil erosion and water runoff, filter out pollutants, and rebuild soil. Furthermore, native plants require no fertilizer, winter protection, or additional watering after the first year. Native plants also stay green longer, thus slowing down wildfires. - REDUCE PESTS AND WEEDS Choosing native plants reduces the risk of non-native pests and invasive species entering the ecosystem. Native plants are less susceptible to disease and pest attacks, and are much less invasive. Most common weeds are, in fact, non-native. - SUPPORT NATURAL HABITATS By planting native Michigan species, we support our unique natural habitats, biodiversity and, in turn, support wildlife that depend on them. For example, a higher quality of food is provided for wildlife by native plants, leading to healthier wildlife. Many native wildlife species require very specific plants to survive, such as the Monarch butterfly, which needs several Milkweed species found in Michigan to live. Spring has arrived at the peace gardens! We had fun doing some spring clean-up and seeing some of the signs of spring already in progress!

The Minnesota river map offers a comprehensive overview of the several rivers, streams, and lakes flowing across the state. The Rainy River, Mississippi River, St. Croix River, and Red River are some of the more prominent rivers of the state. However, the Mississippi River, Kettle River, Rum River, St. Croix River, North Fork Crow River, Minnesota River, and Cannon River are known for their natural beauty and have been recognized as the Wild and Scenic Rivers of Minnesota. The rivers of Minnesota are a favorite with tourists, providing ample opportunities for swimming or water sports. The Mississippi flows across St. Cloud to the Anoka region. The Kettle River, one of the wild and scenic Minnesota rivers, flows through Pine County. The Rum River of Minnesota drains the counties of Isanti, Mille Lacs, Anoka and Sherburne. The North Fork Crow River flows through the County of Meeker. The state’s namesake river, the Minnesota River, flows across Lac Oui Parle Dam to the Franklin area. The stretch from the Faribault area to the Mississippi River is connected by the Cannon River. Notable lakes include the Lower Red Lake, Vermillion Lake, Lake Superior, Lake Pepin and Upper Red Lake.

This book traces the changes in argument alignment that have taken place in Aramaic during its 3000-year documented history. Eastern Aramaic dialects first developed tense-conditioned ergative aligment in the perfect, which later developed into a past perfective. However, while some modern dialects preserve a degree of ergative aligment, it has been eroded by movement towards semantic/Split-S alignment and by the use of separate marking for the patient, and some dialects have lost ergative alignment altogether. These dialects therefore show an entire cycle of alignment change, something which had previously been considered unlikely. Eleanor Coghill examines evidence from ancient Aramaic texts, recent dialectal documentation, and cross-linguistic parallels to provide an account of the pathways through which this alignment change took place. She argues that what became the ergative construction was originally limited mostly to verbs with an experiencer role, such as 'see' and 'hear', which could encode the experiencer with a dative. While this dative-experiencer scenario shows some formal similarities with other proposed explanations for alignment change, the data analysed in this book show that it is clearly distinct. The book draws important theoretical conclusions on the development of tense-conditioned alignment cross-linguistically, and provides a valuable basis for further research.

Month in the Patent Office Aircraft Engineering and Aerospace Technology Article publication date: 1 April 1953 A propeller 1 in a stationary tubular casing 2 rotates inside a guard ring 3 which is mounted for free rotation inside the casing on bearings 4, the free flow of air between the blade tips and the guard ring being reduced to a minimum by reducing the clearance between tips and rings and shaping the blade ends to conform with the interior of the ring. The flow of air through the casing is regulated by a ring 5 adjustably mounted in front of the casing to form an adjustable slat and controllable gills or flaps 7 at the rear. The inlet is provided with a fixed ‘cone’ 13; annular deflectors 14 ensure a homogeneous distribution of the air flow; the outlet is profiled at 15. The air compressed by the propeller is heated by engine cooling, exhaust gases, and/or burners for the purpose of increasing thrust. The propeller may be driven by an internal combustion engine or a turbine motor. The rotatable guard ring 3 may be replaced by fixed baffle plates.

Making a 3-D map of The Land of Israel is a deep project. What takes time is the discussion. So many questions come up, so many connections: neighbors, borders, cities, terrain, history, Torah, politics. We never have enough time in our 30 minute art classes, but we managed to almost finish our personal maps in two meetings. If you need a collaborative topographic map project, see my Salt Dough Map. Today’s project was a personal topographic map, made with Model Magic on a Chinet platter. The goal was to explore Israel’s place in the world, topography, and a few cities. First, the art room was set up with several kinds of maps, a globe, and photographs for reference. Optional prep: I cut a template of the State of Israel from posterboard. (Yes, I had several choices as to which outline to choose, and I will not go into my decisions here. Suffice to say that we discussed borders in class so that the kids knew that not everyone agrees on where the borders should be.) The posterboard template lets kids pick it up while they are smooshing the Model Magic around, pulling high ground, hollowing the Dead Sea. Then, they glued the template to the Chinet platter, crayoned neighboring borders (Mediterranean Sea, Egypt, Jordan, etc.), and watercolored Israel. Jerusalem was marked with a gold Mogen David (spray-painted Jewish star pasta). Budget: If Model Magic is not in your budget, salt dough is cheap and the kids can mix it themselves (equal parts flour and salt with “enough” water). They can paint the dough while it is wet or dry. I do not recommend Crayola Air Dry Clay because it is not formulated to survive and by golly it doesn’t. Creations will crack and eventually crumble from the inside out.

Select a Word: A topic is the first requirement of a definition essay. You should choose an abstract name with deep, philosophical meaning. - A simple word is a single definition that will give you little content for your essay. - Nouns that refer to a person, place, or thing are often too simple. Instead, research definition essay topics, concept or emotion. - It is important that you do not use the word with multiple meanings. - It should not be the same for everyone. It is subjective because it requires writers to interpret the word from your perspective. - Be sure to make your analysis different from other analysts. - Choose to highlight an angle that is not well-known. - The word should be well-known. An inept analysis of the phrase will result in a lack of depth. - Find out the meaning of the phrase in the dictionary by reading the dictionary. - Reading a dictionary will give you an idea of the best way to create a formal and academic definition. - You can also use the dictionary’s definitions as a guideline for adding your facts. - You can create an interesting essay by choosing words that have two meanings. Make sure to use relatable stories. Write a Analysis: Split your word into various parts like suffixes, prefixes, root words, etc. - Use your own words to describe each part of the name. Analyze each part of the term using techniques like classification and negation. - This strategy will only work if terms can be broken down into smaller parts. - This method, for example, does not allow the word ‘love to be broken down. - You can compare the phrase to other unknown words, which all mean the same thing, but are rarely used by anyone. - Comparing can make your essay more interesting to your readers. - Negation can be used to explain the meaning of your term and highlight the difference. - To explain the origins of the term, the etymology (also called the background history) can be used. It will also tell you from which other word it was derived, what the root language, etc. There are no comments for this doc yet.

California water use ‘not sustainable’ Satellite imagery has revealed the full extent of the unsustainable water use in California for the first time. The data released yesterday (December 14) by the North American Space Agency (NASA) paints a bleak picture for the state, which has suffered a drought for the past three years. The University of California Irvine has looked at the data and found a water use is draining the vast underground pools used to supply farmers, towns and cities across the state. This is because the underground pools have been ‘aggressively’ agriculturally pumped by famers. A spokesman for the report says: “The data reveals groundwater in these basins is being pumped for irrigation at rates that are not sustainable if current trends continue. “This is leading to declining water tables, water shortages, decreasing crop sizes and continued land subsidence. “The findings have major implications for the US economy as California’s Central Valley is home to one-sixth of all US irrigated land and the state leads the nation in agricultural production and exports.” © Faversham House Ltd 2023 edie news articles may be copied or forwarded for individual use only.

…that after the Civil War and through the 1930s, recreational pursuits attained ever-greater importance, until they ranked among the region’s most significant characteristics. Such activities included amenities that served local residents as well as those that attracted enormous crowds of visitors, summer vacationers, and estate owners. Sharon attracted a substantial vacation community and between 1880 and 1920, wealthy visitors refurbished several older homes or built Colonial Revival-style mansions on the South Green. New residents included diplomat Paul Bonner, editor and architectural critic Montgomery Schuyler, financier C. Stanley Mitchell, and Dr. Charles Tiffany, Episcopal Archdeacon of New York, as well as famed surgeon William Coley and electrical inventor Frank Sprague. At the same time, Romulus Riggs Colgate hired architect J. William Cromwell to design “Filston,” an enormous Italianate palazzo set on nearly 300 acres. Nearby in New York State arose “Hiddenhurst,” a great Georgian mansion, with huge stables accommodating 35 horses. The very factors inspiring affluent families to create substantial vacation homes also underlay establishment of a thriving resort hotel trade. The large-frame Sharon Inn stood at the south end of the town green across from the clock tower and did a brisk business, attracting the rich and famous; for example, Thomas Edison visited in 1907 with an entourage of 14. The inn remained a popular train and auto destination through the 1920s but was demolished in 1954. Many locals worked in the various hotels and inns throughout Sharon, and numerous residents built small cottages on their properties so that they could rent their homes in the summer to wealthy visitors. A version of this article first appeared on the Sharon Historical Society Web site.

List Of Growing Plants In Containers Ideas. It is important to know what kind of soil the perennials you are. Many vegetables grow well in containers. You are in luck as there are many. The good news is that the plant does not suffer readily from pests and diseases. Grow them from seed or buy plants from a reputable nursery. It Is Important To Know What Kind Of Soil The Perennials You Are. To lessen the chances of overfilling a container, you will generally want to follow these plant to. Grow them from seed or buy plants from a reputable nursery. Plants grown in containers tend to dry out more than plants in the garden. You Are In Luck As There Are Many. The good news is that the plant does not suffer readily from pests and diseases. If the plants are overcrowded, growth can be stunted both above and below the soil. This is because as the plant grows and the root ball becomes denser it makes it harder for water to penetrate. Hints To Get Started 1. Hostas make beautiful architectural plants, and work well in containers, either alone or with other plants. Choose a good quality potting mix and add some. If you are placing your container under full light or sun then select the plant. Never Dig Up Plants From The Wild. Fill the rest with your growing medium, then place the container on top of a tray or. Hypoestes phyllostachya is also known as polka dot plants, is a typical houseplant with brightly.

The Morning Report Get the news and information you need to take on the day. While reporting on my story about the Whole Brain Catalog, I had occasion to catch up with Jacopo Annese, the University of California, San Diego neuroanatomist who runs the Brain Observatory. He told me that the much anticipated slicing of H.M.’s brain is scheduled to commence on Dec. 2, the first anniversary of the famous amnesiac’s death. If you recall from my story in December, Annese took possession of H.M.’s brain shortly after his death. H.M., who now can be identified as Henry Molaison, suffered a debilitating loss of short-term memory after undergoing experimental brain surgery in the 1950s. He became the most widely-studied brain patient in history. Annese’s plan is to slice H.M.’s brain into 3,000 fraction-of-a-millimeter thin sections that can be placed on oversized microscope slides and scanned into a computer. He and his colleagues will then construct the first ever three-dimensional, high-resolution digital map of a complete human brain, and make it available online. Annese said everything is proceeding according to plan. Several MRI’s have been taken of the famous cerebrum, and Annese and his colleagues have even done some practice runs on other brains in preparation of the big event. “We’ve done the dress rehearsals to make sure everything is working well,” Annese said.

Supersonic combustion ramjets, or scramjets, are air-breathing engines designed for high-speed flight in the atmosphere. Scramjets maintain supersonic flow throughout the engine and use a series of oblique shocks to increase the pressure at the combustor inlet. Scramjets are theoretically an optimal propulsion method for air-breathing hypersonic flight vehicles due to their relatively small energy losses, and because they require none of the complex moving parts characteristic of other supersonic propulsion systems. However, there are several significant unsolved engineering challenges associated with controlling supersonic combustion in scramjet combustors. In the Hanson Research Group, we develop and deploy state-of-the-art laser diagnostics to characterize the supersonic flow field and gas dynamics within scramjet engines [1–2]. We also leverage our expertise to predict and thereby suppress combustion instabilities in these systems, including monitoring for engine unstart .

Supporting people with disability On this page Who you will support Disability support workers work with people with disability-related support needs. A person’s disability may affect their physical, cognitive or social abilities. Each person will need a different level of support, depending on the barriers they face to participating in daily activities. They will also have different goals they want to achieve. What makes support for people with disability different Supporting people with disability is about helping them to achieve their goals, develop their capabilities and build independence, and fully participate in the community. Support for people with disability is often funded through the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS), which has some requirements for workers, such as worker screening and adherence to a Code of Conduct. The person’s NDIS plan will specify their personal goals and approved supports to achieve these goals. This means the support you provide may be part of a broader network of supports. You may need to work with other service providers to coordinate holistic support for the person. What support you will provide Disability support workers assist the person’s with daily activities, and help to build their skills, abilities and confidence. The support you provide might include: - domestic assistance, such as house cleaning, shopping, laundry, bill paying or performing errands - personal care, such as help with dressing, eating, showering, toileting, or moving around the house - assisting with transport to attend appointments - helping the person develop skills – for example, making a budget, taking public transport, using assistive technology, or preparing meals - assisting the person to participate in social outings, recreational activities and community events - providing companionship, conversation and emotional support. This page includes information about working with people with disability as a support worker. For information about other types of jobs working with people with disability, including allied health, nursing, advocacy and other specialised roles, see Types of jobs.

Yellow (stripe) rust caused by Puccinia striiformis f. sp. tritici is the most devastating disease of bread wheat (Triticum aestivum) in the world. A wide range of virulent yellow rust pathotypes is evolving in different regions of the world causing the breakdown of widely utilized sources of resistance in wheat. Hence, the knowledge of virulence factors of pathogen and determining of effective resistance genes in the region will enable breeders to target those useful genes in their breeding programs. During cropping seasons of 2015-2016 and 2016-2017, virulence of the wheat yellow rust was investigated by planting differential cultivars and isogenic lines in a yellow rust trap nursery in Ardabil, northwest of Iran . Results showed stripe rust infections on some cultivars carrying Yr genes such as Yr1, Yr3, and Yrsp previously known to be resistant. The virulence spectrum of race population in Ardabil was identical to the Warrior race or its variants which is different from characterized races in Ardabil by carrying virulence combination for Yr1, Yr3, Yr17, Yr32, and YrSP and is avirulent on Yr8 and Yr27. Except for Yr8, Yr17 and Yr27, the common races in Ardabil are generally avirulent on Yr1, Yr3, and YrSP. This is the first report of race population in Ardabil (Iran) which is similar to the Warrior race or its variants. First report of virulence to resistance genes Yrsp, Yr1 and Yr3 by wheat yellow rust pathogen (Puccinia striiformis f. sp. triti Poster or Plenary?:

A Brief History of Orlando In 1830, the United States built Fort Gaitlin south of present day Orlando to protect settlers from Indian attacks. By 1840, a small settlement known as Jernigan had grown up around the fort. The name came from early settlers in the area, the Jernigan family. By 1850, Jernigan had a post office and by 1856 the community had expanded north and changed its name to Orlando. Orlando incorporated in 1875 with 85 residents, 22 of whom were qualified voters. In the early 1900s, there was a massive population explosion in Florida and Orlando increased dramatically in size. Today, Orlando is a city of over 260,000. It is the 24th largest metropolitan area and 73rd largest city in the United States. It is the 4th largest city in Florida. Nicknamed “The City Beautiful” and known as the theme park capital of the world, it is the 4th most desired place to live according to a Pew Research Study. Orlando hosts the 13th busiest airport in the United States and is home to University of Central Florida, the 2nd largest University campus in America. Walt Disney World is the city’s largest employer with over 60,000 employees and Universal Studios is also one of Orlando’s top ten employers.

I’ve talked and written a lot about early literacy over the years, but I’ve avoided one very popular term: The Science of Reading. I decided to keep my head down and my work research-based and just stay out of the fray of nailing down the specific jargon. But with more and more states and districts requiring “Science of Reading compliant curriculum,” it’s important for early childhood educators to know what that means, what it doesn’t mean, and how it impacts our practice. If The Science of Reading is not a familiar term to you, no worries, we’re going to walk through it and some of the terms associated with it….and if you ARE familiar with the term, I hope you’ll bring whatever background knowledge you have and be ready to find some new perspectives here.

The task force argued against routine testing for autism. There’s not enough evidence that it’s beneficial to screen all young children for autism, a task force is arguing in a new report. David Grossman, the vice chair of the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force, said that there wasn’t enough evidence that the benefits would outweigh the harms in screening children between the ages of 18 and 30 months, according to a CNN report. Instead, individual clinicians need to make the call on a case by case basis, Grossman said. Still, the pronouncement is causing concern that it could result in some autistic children being missed early on. Autism spectrum disorder is a developmental disability that impacts a child’s development when it comes to social, communication, and behavioral skills. About one in 45 children were diagnosed back in 2014, way up from one in 150 in 2000. It’s not that the task force is against screening, it’s that without large, controlled studies, there’s no evidence such screenings would help identify children who otherwise wouldn’t be diagnosed with autism, the task force argued, instead advocating for more research and larger studies. It’s certainly a controversial stance to take. The American Academy of Pediatrics disagrees, suggesting that testing for autism should be routine for pediatricians. The findings were published in the Journal of the American Medical Association. “Although a number of potential risk factors for ASD have been identified, there is insufficient evidence to determine if certain risk factors modify the performance characteristics of ASD screening tests, such as the age at which screening is performed or other characteristics of the child or family,” reads a statement from the task force. “The USPSTF concludes that there is insufficient evidence to assess the balance of benefits and harms of screening for ASD in children age 18 to 30 months for whom no concerns of ASD have been raised. Evidence is lacking, of poor quality, or conflicting, and the balance of benefits and harms cannot be determined.” Leave a Reply
