This week I was arguing with a family member about Wifi-Security concerns. That’s why todays topic is Bullshit.
Often meaning is obscured without adding any additional information, simply to impress. - callingbullshit.org
🤯 Detecting bullshit is becoming more and more important in a world that leans towards Fake News and manipulation of the public by various actors. One recent example: Belgium is considering new laws on 5G Networks that would grant only specific telephone companies the use of the 5G frequency band. In reaction to that Huawei and China (maybe there is no difference anyways) created fake Twitter accounts with AI-generated faces. Real Huawei Execs retweeted the fake tweets but could not gain much traction. I recommend reading the first Summary page of the report on the incident. I am quite glad the US took a hard stance against Huawei and I guess the US Intelligence has some strong reasons.
🇨🇳 While probably all international and big Chinese companies are somewhat integrated into the Chinese State and Intelligence System, I guess it is similar to European and US Companies. However, I am more or less sure that the US three-letter agencies track us as well. This post shows that most popular Apps track your location. A lot of the most used apps even use a banned (by Apple and Google) software (X-mode). Either Apple and Google do not care about their rules or they are incentivized to keep the trackers running… „At least five more Muslim prayer or similar apps worked with data broker X-Mode, which has sold location data to military contractors and by extension U.S. military intelligence, according to multiple technical analyses.“ Vice article.
🤦♂️Facebook in need of location data for advertising tries to push their users hard to allow tracking on iOS14 (Apple Devices), which is set up to block tracking by default. So remember, when you’re not paying, you [or your data] is the product. Medium Artricle ⌚️Bullshit and fake news can hurt a business too. The problem of fake reviews and unethical marketing of competitors pushed one developer into leaving the App Store. „First, they made an app that appeared to fulfill the promise of [his app] - but was practically unusable. Then, they started heavily advertising on FB & Instagram, using [his] own promo video, of [his] own app, with [his] actual name on it.“ More in his Twitter thread.
🥷 So, I guess now is the time to polish your bullshit detection skills. The best resource I found on detecting bullshit and how to handle it is https://www.callingbullshit.org/. It is a great resource and I can only urge you to take their free course „Calling Bullshit: Data Reasoning in a Digital World“ which was developed for the University of Washington. I enjoyed it a lot. You can learn how statistics can fool you, what kind of biases screw us and how to call bullshit out. I also recommend their book Calling Bullshit.
Jeff Bezos announced to step down as CEO this fall. Here is his letter to the employees.
Thanks for reading! Please send me some feedback so I know what you guys like and dislike in my newsletter!

Any responsive CSS grid system uses long decimal point percentage values for columns’ width (e.g. “16.66666667%”). I don’t understand how to lay out the grid in Photoshop, because elements of the interface will either be longer, or shorter than the CSS grid expects them to be, which leads to certain problems with the whole layout (elements can shift position because of number rounding)—in the end it doesn’t look the same in a browser.
To illustrate it better, let’s take Bootstrap’s values: column width for the biggest container is ~97px. So, how should I lay out the grid in a graphics editor, should I round it to 97 or 98, or perhaps I should forget about these precise values and design not for the exact pixel numbers, but for the amount of columns instead—whatever the width?
I mean, I just can’t get over the fact that it won’t look the same, paddings would be different from how I drew them (sometimes even different from one another in case of an element taking 100% of a column [or two] width, say, a button with some text on it can have the padding-left of 30, and the padding-right of 32; it’s noticeable and isn’t right), widths would be different, gutters would be different, and so on. I don’t understand how can you create functional and beautiful interface with this inconsistency and lack of precision.
Can you please share your experience? How do you do it? Am I wrong about something? Maybe there’s something good I can read on designing for responsive/fluid grid systems? Thank you very much.
I just can’t get over the fact that it won’t look the same
You have to get over it. 🙂
The bottom line is that you can’t easily create UI mockups in static tools like PhotoShop and expect to properly accommodate responsive layouts.
The best way to deal with this is to design in the browsers. This doesn’t work for everyone, of course, as no everyone wants to write UI code. As such, the second best way is to work with the UI developer side-by-side.
I suggest this flow in those situations:
- create the mobile view first. Work at 2x or 3x size in your image editor so you know you have plenty of resolution to work with if you need to scale up
- work with the UI dev to implement the mobile view in code.
- work with the UI dev to now think about how the other views will come together, tweaking images as needed as you go.

Human rights defenders (HRDs) and journalists in Mexico are subject to intimidation, legal harassment, arbitrary detention, death threats, acts of physical aggression, enforced disappearances and killings as a result of their activities in defence of human rights and the exercise of freedom of expression and journalism.
Disappearances are endemic in Mexico, often happening with collusion from the state. HRDs working on the issue face serious risk, up to and including death. HRDs working in the defence of territory, particularly indigenous territory, face a similar level of risk. They are criminalised, imprisoned, defamed, and often killed. Journalists working on any of these issues, or issues related to the drugs trade and the government's complicity in this, also run the risk of losing their lives.
Several international organisations and bodies have previously expressed concern for the lack of protection for human rights defenders and those who exercise freedom of expression in Mexico, such as the recommendations issued on the occasion of the 2009 Universal Periodic Review of Mexico, and the recommendations of the UN Special Rapporteur on the situation of Human Rights Defenders, the High Commissioner for Human Rights, the UN and OAS Special Rapporteurs on Freedom of Expression, who noted that in the past decade Mexico has become one of the world's most dangerous countries for journalists to exercise their profession. Despite the establishment of a mechanism for the protection of HRDs and journalists, the decision process and subsequent implementation of these measures has not yet responded adequately to the needs of HRDs.

After switching to Ubuntu, many of you need to run your favorite windows application. Well, for that Wine is here.
To properly install wine on Ubuntu, you have to follow the steps below.
- Add i386 architecture support.
- Add extra repository if needed.
- Update the software repository.
- Find out which wine version you need.
- Install wine Ubuntu with apt.
- Configure and apply fixes to wine, if necessary.
After installing wine, you can install and run your windows apps through it, let's get started.
Add 32 bit architecture support
Most windows apps depends on many many 32 bit linux shared libraries to run. In fact you can not run most windows apps on a 64 bit system without them.
Open up your favorite terminal emulator like gnome terminal and the type the commands listed below one by one.
sudo dpkg --add-architecture i386
The command will ask for your password, type it and hit Enter. Now you can verify if the command worked properly or not.
sudo dpkg --print-foreign-architectures
The above command should return
i386 , ant that's all you need to do in this step.
Add extra Wine repository
Ubuntu's default repository doesn't have the latest wine builds, so if you need a very recent wine release, then you've to use another repository.
There's three main wine repository from WineHQ, Stable branch, Development branch and Staging branch .
You need to run the commands below one by one to add the WineHQ repository.
wget -nc https://dl.winehq.org/wine-builds/Release.key sudo apt-key add Release.key sudo apt-add-repository https://dl.winehq.org/wine-builds/ubuntu/
Update the apt software repository
Next you need to update the repository to make the changes available, it's fairly easy.
sudo apt-get update
Here's a detailed apt tutorial, have a look for more advanced options.
Which Wine version should you use?
Lightweight windows apps runs flawlessly on any linux Wine version. But large software or games runs much better on a specific version of Wine.
So, that's a bit complicated, you've to find out the best wine version for your software. Searching the web could help you, here's the official wine apps database.
You can install and use multiple versions of wine at the same time. But be careful about dependency and conflict betwen multiple versions.
The easiest way to manage multiple wine installations is by using different
WINEPREFIX for each version. That's another big topic, I'll discus about it later.
Install wine Ubuntu with apt
You can use either Ubuntu software center or the command line to install wine, here we'll use the commands.
To install full wine use the apt command, it will install wine and all it's 32 bit dependencies.
sudo apt-get install wine1.8
However, if you need a minimal install, use the
--no-install-recommends flag with apt.
sudo apt-get --no-install-recommends install wine1.8
To install wine 2.x series from the WineHQ development branch repository, use the command below.
sudo apt-get install wine-devel
Note that wine devel branch is installed under
/opt directory and doesn't create any application menu.
Configure and apply fixes to Wine Ubuntu
You need to install some windows related libraries and frameworks to use wine properly.
/opt/wine-devel/bin/winecfg depending on your wine version.
You'll be asked to installed .NET framework, Wine Gecko or Mono framework. Next they'll be installed automatically from internet.
You may also need to choose proper windows version, like windows 7 in the wine configuration editor.
Extra - Uninstall Wine
If you think wine is no more useful, and want to uninstall, then it's here.
Again We'll use the apt command to uninstall wine from Ubuntu. Simply run the command below.
sudo apt-get purge wine wine-* sudo apt-get autoremove --purge
Finally remove the directory containing all run time data generated by wine.
rm -rf ~/.wine/ rm -rf ~/.local/share/applications/wine*
It should be a pretty clean uninstall, removed almost everything related to wine.
Now most application has their Linux alternative, so it's better to run the native linux alternative than through wine.
However for games and some application like LTspice, we have no choice, so in that case wine is necessary.
So, that's all how to install install wine in Ubuntu 16.04, 17.04, 17.10 and later versions, hope that's simple enough to understand. If you have any question or suggestion, just drop a comment.

"Aryan," a word that today evokes images of racial hatred and atrocity, was first used by Europeans to suggest bonds of kinship, as Thomas Trautmann shows in his far-reaching history of British Orientalism and the ethnology of India. When the historical relationship uniting Sanskrit with the languages of Europe was discovered, it seemed clear that Indians and Britons belonged to the same family. Thus the Indo-European or Aryan idea, based on the principle of linguistic kinship, dominated British ethnological inquiry.
In the nineteenth century, however, an emergent biological "race science" attacked the authority of the Orientalists. The spectacle of a dark-skinned people who were evidently civilized challenged Victorian ideas, and race science responded to the enigma of India by redefining the Aryan concept in narrowly "white" racial terms. By the end of the nineteenth century, race science and Orientalism reached a deep and lasting consensus in regard to India, which Trautmann calls "the racial theory of Indian civilization," and which he undermines with his powerful analysis of colonial ethnology in India. His work of reassessing British Orientalism and the Aryan idea will be of great interest to historians, anthropologists, and cultural critics.

Land Tenure and Social Equity
Securing land tenure rights and promoting social equity and inclusion
Insecure community land rights threaten the livelihoods and well-being of at least 2 billion people, or 25% of the world’s population. Securing land tenure and community land rights can accelerate a just rural transition by supporting continued sustainable land use and biodiversity protection, improving rural livelihoods, and protecting the rights of indigenous and local communities.
In recognition of the importance of land tenure, social equity, and inclusion, we have established a specialised Working Group to bring together leading experts from organisations and initiatives. The Working Group aims to promote effective collaboration, provide strategic advice to the JRT’s policy and investment workstreams, and co-develop knowledge products to support our outreach and engagement. We are collectively working to:
providing specific, actionable recommendations for national-scale policy makers to consider how commitments to land tenure reform on national and international levels can be part of their activities to support sustainable development and climate goals.
in the run up to the UN Food Systems Summit, UN Convention on Combatting Desertification (UNCCD COP15), and UN Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC COP26).
to integrate land tenure rights within their solutions towards food systems transformation.
Land Tenure in a Just Rural Transition: Restoring our Relationships to Land and Natural Resources
This initial brief identifies equitable and just land and natural resource tenure as the centrepiece of a just rural transition. As a global community, we need to urgently build on examples of progress to make the necessary changes to protect the natural systems that will sustain life for future generations. The high-resolution brief can be downloaded here, and a low-resolution brief can be downloaded here.
If you are interested in contributed to this workstream, please contact Hanna Khalil at email@example.com.

Christmas is almost here and the decorations are up. In pride of place stands your Christmas tree, bedecked with baubles, tinsel and fairy lights. But, if you have a real tree rather than a fake one, there may be more than you think amongst the branches and needles. Your tree might be home to as many as 25,000 insects and arachnids, according to Associate Professor Bjarte Jordal at the University of Bergen, Norway.
The trees we use to decorate our homes have spent their lives in the natural world and have been a part of their local ecosystem. Of course, this means that animals have made their homes in them. Larger creatures, like squirrels or birds, will evacuate when the tree is cut down. But the smaller minibeasts are not even aware that anything has changed – well, not until they get into your house anyway!
Christmas trees live in northern climes, where the winters are very cold. Because of this, most animals that live on them will shut down, or hibernate, over the coldest months and reawaken when the weather warms in spring. The thing is, centrally-heated modern homes are very warm. This fools the creepy-crawlies into thinking spring has come and so they wake up in your living room.
So, what types of creatures might you expect to find on your tree? Here’s a list of some of the most common:
- Springtails – tiny creatures about 6mm long. They feed on decaying matter and can jump around by ‘flicking’ their tails
- Bark lice – similar to springtails in that they are tiny and feed on decaying matter. They can also acquire a taste for paper and books though!
- Mites – another tiny one. Many types of mites are found on trees. For most of us they are harmless, but those who have allergies ‘mite’ have a problem!
- Spiders – the natural predators of tree-dwelling minibeasts. The ones found are not adapted to indoor life though, and will die if they venture too far from your tree
I do hope that this information has not put you off having a real Christmas tree. They are much better, I think, than artificial copies. None of the tree’s inhabitants can cause us any real harm – in fact, you probably won’t even notice them. If you do need a boost to your Christmas spirit after reading this, then go and download our free Family Christmas Quiz. It’s guaranteed to raise some cheer!
Another place you might like to visit is the Nature section of our site. It’s packed full of quizzes on animals, plants and all else ecological. If you love the natural world then it’s the place to go to test your natural knowledge!

Diversity and inclusion are important, but some companies simply talk the talk without walking the walk. Even if such forward-thinking policies can lead to increased financial success, productivity, and innovation, it’s still taking some U.S. companies literal generations to overcome an obvious societal bias towards hiring a certain kind of person – a bias that persists. But not at these 6 progressive Entertainment companies, which have strong D&I policies and initiatives that are integral to their mission.
Location: Silver Spring, MD

Netflix is an online platform that enables user to watch TV shows and movies on smart TVs, gaming consoles, PCs, Macs, mobiles, tablets, and so on. It provides its services under three segments: international streaming, domestic streaming, and domestic DVD.
On Diversity & Inclusion: “Netflix is a global company, with a diverse member base, which is why the content we produce reflects that: global perspectives, global stories. As we grow globally, we know that we must have the most talented employees with diverse backgrounds, cultures, perspectives, and experiences to support our innovation and creativity. We are an equal opportunity employer and strive to build balanced teams from all walks of life. We also understand that inclusion plays just as much of a role in our success as having a diverse team. Inclusion is about authentically recognizing, understanding, and appreciating differences, and being able to connect across these differences by being mutually adaptive rather than insisting that everyone be, think, and act the same.”
“If I need information, I can get it. There is very little in the way of information siloing here. I’ve rarely heard ‘you don’t need to know that.’”
Netflix employees rated their overall culture a A+.

Although you may not realize it, your doctor is a monopoly. Yes, you can see someone else, but not without difficulty. And if you wanted a second opinion, how far would you go? In part, through insurance coverage, in part based on a desire for convenience, healthcare is generally a local monopoly. However, that may be about to change.
I’m a radiologist, an expert in medical imaging. When I started my career in 1997, I’d show up for work and it was just me and my films. The exams presented to me were a mix of imaging- CT, MRI, ultrasound, plain X-Rays- all captured, presented and stored on film. By 2000, the film was gone. Just about everything I did was done on a computer.
I was an early proponent for this technology (also know as PACS for Picture Archiving and Communications Systems). It allowed my group to work faster and smarter. However through a series of steps (consolidation, specialization and finally commoditization/globalization) technology broke up the local monopoly many radiology groups enjoyed. Similar to Instagram, PACS allowed medical images to be seen instantly by anyone anywhere. And now, based on improvements in technology, I’m expecting similar changes for the rest of healthcare.
Tele-radiology first emerged in hospitals when computers began to be used to optimize the daily workload. At the beginning of my career, several doctors divided work for the day into piles. Each person did his or her allotment with no real help from peers. With the transition to digital, work became a common pile that was shared among physicians in the same hospital. Faster doctors filled downtime gaps reading more cases, resulting in improved overall efficiency.
Such consolidation of work expanded to other operations with the development of specialized software. Take scheduling in today’s brick and mortar clinics. There are gaps when patients don’t show or an appointment ends earlier than planned. These gaps in the schedule represent lost revenue. ZocDocs, a technology start up, attempts to solve this problem by filling appointment gaps in clinical practice. Now a myriad of companies has improved a range of internal operations, starting from the same concept of consolidation.
During the next phase radiology practices realized they could improved efficiencies by sending the right case to the right person in the practice. Like the rest of medicine, radiology is highly sub specialized. For example, I am a neuroradiologist. I can generally read exams of the brain and spine faster and more accurately than radiologists who cover the whole body. Radiology groups soon realized there were advantages to having cases sent to specialists within their group rather the next available radiologist. (And—take note patients—asking for a specialist to read your imaging rather than whichever radiologist is on that day incurs no extra cost).
Commoditization and Globalization
It wasn’t long before entrepreneurs realized that cases could be moved outside of the hospital to radiologists anywhere. At first these forward-thinking businesses limited such out-sourcing to night-time coverage (Nighthawk is the best example). However, these companies quickly expanded and now compete with local radiologists for work during the day. The larger size of these national companies often allows for better technology and more specialists. So, even though, traditionally, healthcare—including radiology— has been a local monopoly, the future is clearly going to be one of increased globalization of services based on cost and quality.
Implications for the Future of Healthcare
Telemedicine, as part of every day clinical practice, is more complicated than tele-radiology. However, over the last two decades technology has now evolved to support all forms of clinical services. Particularly for specialty services, the best care is often not the local care. And, with virtual clinic visits as close as the PDA in your pocket, I expect some of the same trends in radiology to occur for healthcare overall.
When I started my career, Kodak, the venerable producer of film for a century was near it’s peak value of 32 billion dollars. A little more than a decade later, having missed the transition to digital, Kodak was bankrupt. Change is coming. Now, video can be shared as easily as medical images. Healthcare no longer has to be local to be convenient. The patient, or more likely the patient’s insurer, will negotiate the best rates and best quality for expensive procedures and other services. This is already happening at more progressive self-insured employers such as Walmart and Lowes. For you as a patient, this is great. It should mean better care at a lower cost. For physicians and other providers, we will have to adjust or go the way of Kodak.

"Longevity through technology, education, and research"
Immortalist Society Research Program:
General Interest of Cryonicists in Research
An important aspect of cryonics is the interest that cryonicists have in doing proper scientific research. Cryonics is not, as is sometimes alleged by its opponents, a cult or some some sort of religious belief system. Robert Ettinger, the individual who is generally acknowledged to be the "father of cryonics", had scientific training himself, possessing a Master's Degree in Physics and a second Master's Degree in Mathematics. Mr. Ettinger, throughout his life, maintained a scientific attitude towards cryonics and was always interested in what could be done to improve the process to increase an individual's chances of being successfully revived and rejuvenated by future technology. Cryonics is based on the concept that you can place individuals, at or near the time of their clinical death, at ultra low temperatures and then, if civilization endures, medical science should eventually be able to revive the individual, repair them of their injuries or whatever disease they had, whatever damage the cryonics process caused, and then rejuvenate them and restore them to a state of reasonable youth and good health.
Cryonicists do not, however, simply sit around and wait for good things to happen. All cryonics organizations are very interested in how they can lessen the burden on future science and how they can improve the process of cryonics (sometimes called "cryonic suspension" or "cryopreservation"). Down through the years several research efforts have been carried out.
Two Efforts/Projects of the Immortalist Society
The Immortalist Society has, at present, developed two efforts to deal with the problems of research in cryonics. A very recent development has been the decision of the Immortalist Society to start an Organ Cryopreservation Prize. To read more about the Organ Cryopreservation Prize, click here. Once you've finished reading about this interesting and helpful concept, you can return here for some more general information about cryonics research sponsored by the Immortalist Society, as well as having a link to the interesting research specifically conducted by ANB, Inc.
A second, and more lengthy effort, has been the work the Immortalist Society has done through research it contracts with through Advanced Neural Biosciences, Inc., an Oregon based company. The information that is below is information concerning both cryonics research in general and some information about the research work done by ANB, Inc. in particular.
Some Issues in Cryonics:
It was hoped by many cryonicists early in its development that cryonics would eventually be a routine part of "end of life" care and would be carried out in hospitals and other health care institutions throughout the world. Regrettably, that has not been the case though cryonicists are still hopeful this will occur in the future. Even if it were the case, cryonics, like traditional medical care, would still have to be carried out, in some instances, in less than perfect conditions. In the case of traditional medical care, the person whose heart stops while they are lying on an emergency room bed obviously has a better chance of having their heart restarted than someone whose heart stops in the middle of a lake when they are with a couple of friends on a fishing expedition. That person has a better chance of getting their heart restarted than someone whose heart stops while they are hiking alone in the middle of a forest.
There are, of course, in cryonics, varying situations in which persons will enter clinical death (frequently referred to in cryonics as "deanimation" to help distinguish it from "biological death/permanent death"). At times cryonics is not carried out routinely in a hospital setting as was first hoped, though, on occasion, some hospitals have been helpful in the effort. More recently, the development of "hospice care" has made it possible for procedures to be carried out, in some instances, as part of the patient's last wishes. In the case of Robert Ettinger, the founder of cryonics, his placement in hospice care resulted in the hospice caregivers being a great deal of help during the time period before the cryonic suspension procedures themselves were actually started.
A member of Mr. Ettinger's immediate family stated that one of the lessons emphasized from this was the need to be as prepared as one can be given the circumstances. One employee of the Cryonics Institute, the cryonics organization that was involved in Mr. Ettinger's situation, stated that Mr. Ettinger's suspension was one of the best ones that the Cryonics Institute had done. People knowledgeable about the particulars of Mr. Ettinger's case say that the efforts of the hospice workers, in addition to Mr. Ettinger's family working diligently at being fully prepared, were greatly helpful in the excellent outcome that occurred.
So, the lesson is, in the motto of the Boy Scouts of America, "Be prepared". Cryonics organizations attempt to do that through the use of research information gathered both in the area of low temperature biology ("cryobiology") and in other areas of science. Further, they have engaged in research programs down through the years to help improve cryonics procedures. It should be noted, however, on the negative side that no amount of preparation can suffice in what is, at this point, a far from perfect world. One cryonicist died in the middle of a desert and their body was not recovered for some time. Another cryonicist was lost in the collapse of the World Trade Center buildings on September 11, 2012. No amount of preparation can, of course, adequately prepare one for these very extreme circumstances.
On the positive side, the reality is that most people enter clinical death in pretty routine ways, due to either disease or accident. In many cases, as in Mr. Ettinger's case, there is sufficient advance warning that well thought out procedures planned and prepared for ahead of time can increase an individual's chances of a more efficient and therefore, hopefully, a more thorough state of preservation with as little damage to organs and tissues as possible.
One of the most robust findings of the ANB, Inc. research is that rapid induction of hypothermia (lowering the body's temperature) after the heart and lungs stop working, is beneficial in cryonics patients. Other findings of the ANB research continue to be studied and, where seemingly rationally useful, are attempted to be implemented in the practice of cryonics. The Immortalist Society is extremely pleased with the work that ANB, Inc. researchers have done that we feel will ultimately be beneficial to cryonics patients.
(Note: Individuals undergoing cryonics are referred to as "patients" as cryonics organizations consider them to be analogous to an individual whose heart and lungs have stopped being in the back of an ambulance speeding towards a hospital. Until it is determined at the hospital that the individual is beyond help, the person is still a patient. In the case of cryonics, the "ambulance" is the cryonics procedure and the "hospital" is future medical science and general technology).

Controversial plans to charge motorists to enter Greater Manchester's proposed Clean Air Zone are being delayed following top level talks.
The scheme was due to come into operation at the end of May across the city region in an attempt to reduce harmful air pollution.
But, following concern that meeting pollution targets too soon could put many local firms out of business, it has now been delayed.
Taxi drivers and small business owners say the additional charges created by the CAZ could kill their business, and have complained that they are not being offered enough assistance to buy new lower-emission vehicles.
The proposed CAZ was supposed to see the worst polluting vehicles charged to travel within the almost 500 square mile area.
In a joint statement from Jo Churchill, Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State at Defra, Andy Burnham, Mayor of Greater Manchester and Cllr Andrew Western, GMCA portfolio lead for clean air they said they will work to deliver a plan by the middle of the year.
They added: "Air quality is one of our biggest health challenges and we are all completely committed to tackling it.
"We have agreed to a short time-limited pause. We will work together to deliver, by the middle of the year, a plan for clean air for Greater Manchester, one that is fair to the businesses and residents of the city-region.
"We will deliver improved air quality as soon as possible, not losing ambition but ensuring we take into account the pandemic, global supply chain challenges, improvements already baked into retrofits and the scope as previously laid out."
Greater Manchester’s Clean Air Zone (CAZ) has been a topic of debate since the year began as residents claimed they have been unable to access the vehicles needed to adhere to the rules.
The new CAZ would have seen buses and heavy goods vehicles (HGVs) being charged £60 to drive into the charging area.
Other vehicles including most taxis, vans and minibuses would pay from £7.50 a day following a one year period of grace.
The government has provided £120m to help eligible drivers in Greater Manchester, including small businesses, the voluntary sector and HGV owners, switch to compliant vehicles.
Funding to upgrade heavy goods vehicles began at the end of November.
In January representatives from Greater Manchester’s 10 councils issued a letter to the Environment Secretary George Eustice, requesting he pause the second phase of Greater Manchester Clean Air Zone.
Mayor Andy Burnham then told Mr Eustice he wanted the CAZ to continue - but asked the government to remove the 'punitive' charges.
Stating that he is "responding to the concerns people have raised", he says it should continue to go ahead "but as a non-charging GM-wide Category B CAZ (including buses, HGVs and non-GM registered taxis)."
On Friday, 4 February, The Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (Defra), says it had carefully considered proposals put forward by Burnham and had agreed to "allow a short delay".
It says the move will: "Allow Greater Manchester to provide further evidence and a revised plan by July setting out how it will deliver legal levels of NO2 as soon as possible, and no later than 2026."
It added: "Since Greater Manchester’s proposals were submitted in 2019 there have been a number of challenges, including the impact of Covid-19 on supply chains and the price and availability of second-hand vehicles.
"According to evidence provided by Greater Manchester, these impacts will make it harder for people to upgrade to cleaner vehicles, meaning the Clean Air Zone is unlikely to deliver compliance with legal limits by the original date of 2024."
Burnham had blamed Prime Minister Boris Johnson for requiring the scheme and placing "a legal direction on each of our ten councils" to implement it.
He added was the "government’s legal direction" that made the scheme "unworkable".
However Defra has always maintained: "Decisions around the introduction of Clean Air Zones are the responsibility of local authorities, in consultation with residents and local businesses"
The Government and the Metro Mayor Andy Burnham have agreed to meet again in July.

‘Mary Todd Lincoln: A Biography’
By July 15, 2020 0 641•
UNSUNG OR UNWELL? REEVALUATING THE FIRST LADY THROUGH A FEMINIST LENS
“Mary Todd Lincoln remains America’s most provocative First Lady,” writes Jean H. Baker in the first sentence of her preface to the 2008 edition of her 1987 work, “Mary Todd Lincoln: A Biography.” Some might dispute her premise of “most provocative” by pointing to Eleanor Roosevelt, Nancy Reagan or Hillary Clinton, who all managed to set the country’s teeth on edge during their husbands’ presidencies.
Yet, as provocative as the others were, none was ever institutionalized for insanity. Mary Todd Lincoln was committed to an asylum at the instigation of her only surviving son, years after her husband was assassinated while sitting next to her at Ford’s Theatre on April 14, 1865 — “When lilacs last in the dooryard bloom’d.”
By then, the Lincolns had buried two of their four sons; she would bury a third a few years after the president’s death. Her dressmaker, Elizabeth Hobbs Keckley, wrote of the former first lady’s inconsolable grief: “[Her] wails of a broken heart, the unearthly shrieks, the terrible convulsions.” To show such raw emotion was considered unseemly behavior for a 19th-century woman, another blight on a battered public image.
Streaked with tragedy, she, like Queen Victoria, wore widow’s weeds for the rest of her life. With few friends and scant resources, she turned to shamans and seers and spiritualists for emotional support, and to health spas for relief from physical ailments.
As a young woman, Mary Todd was smart and assertive, with a flair for drama. Highly educated, she spoke French fluently and wrote with grace. Born in Kentucky, a slaveholding state, she left her wealthy Confederate family to move to Springfield, Illinois, where she met Abraham Lincoln, whom she shrewdly predicted would rise to the nation’s highest office.
Unlike other women of her era, she was politically astute. She relished being her husband’s career helpmate and continued as his political advisor in the White House, which prompted the men around the president — and the male historians who revered him — to brand her as “unwomanly.”
She was certainly not a woman of her time, which is why Baker describes her as “among the most detested public women in American history.”
Mary Todd Lincoln did not know her place. She was expected to present herself as a demure wife, concerned only with hearth and home. Later, as a presidential widow, she was expected to fade from public view, but she refused. She needed to be both acknowledged for herself and applauded as the wife of a great man.
Always in financial straits, she haggled with merchants to get lower prices, frequently refusing to pay. She battled Congress over her pension, fought with her son over her inheritance and drew national scorn when she offered her extravagant White House wardrobe at public auction to pay off her debts.
In 1996, the establishment of the National First Ladies Library and Museum in Canton, Ohio, convinced Baker that the study of presidential wives had been elevated from its “former status as a frivolous female diversion [to a] legitimate historical endeavor of social, political and cultural importance.” A professor emerita at Goucher College with three published works on the Civil War era, Baker was well equipped, with the reissuing of her biography, to present Mary Todd Lincoln with a new feminist sensibility.
Previously, first ladies had been relegated to small dress-and-dish displays in their husbands’ libraries, but now, with their own museum, presidential wives could be considered seriously. So Baker sought to position Mary Todd Lincoln as a victim of unsympathetic patriarchal portrayals, rather than “a one-dimensional human being, a stereotype of the best-hated faults of all women.”
On that, she succeeded. Her well-written biography — with its 2008 updated preface — presents the “most provocative First Lady” in all her messy complexities and confounding contradictions. Yet reviews were mixed. The New York Times praised Baker’s study as “rich in new research” and “wider in scope than any published to date,” but faulted her for not determining decisively whether Mary Todd Lincoln was insane and deserved to be incarcerated or merely temperamental and difficult. The Christian Science Monitor applauded Baker for writing an “excellent, enticing book” and turning “biography into social history at its best,” but made no mention of the incarceration.
Surprisingly, no reviews of the biography noted the treachery of Lincoln’s only surviving son, Robert Todd Lincoln, who was humiliated by his mother’s public displays and engineered a trial to have her committed. After managing to prove herself mentally competent, Mary Todd Lincoln left the asylum, saying she could never forgive her “monster of mankind son,” and would end her days “childless.” Mother and son never spoke again.
Sadly, she, like King Lear, learned “how sharper than a serpent’s tooth it is to have a thankless child.”
Georgetown resident Kitty Kelley has written several number-one New York Times best-sellers, including “The Family: The Real Story Behind the Bush Dynasty.” Her most recent books include “Capturing Camelot: Stanley Tretick’s Iconic Images of the Kennedys” and “Let Freedom Ring: Stanley Tretick’s Iconic Images of the March on Washington.” She serves on the board of Reading Is Fundamental, the nation’s largest children’s literacy nonprofit.

WASHINGTON — A federal judge made headlines Monday by declaring that the National Security Agency’s bulk collection of millions of Americans’ telephone records is likely unconstitutional. But even he realized his won’t be the last word on the issue.
U.S. District Court Judge Richard Leon put his decision to grant an injunction against the NSA on ice, predicting a government appeal would take at least six months. He said he was staying the ruling pending appeal “in light of the significant national security interests at stake in this case and the novelty of the constitutional issues.”
Even after the appeals court rules, the Supreme Court will probably have the last word.
“This is the opening salvo in a very long story, but it’s important symbolically in dispelling the invincibility of the metadata program,” said Stephen Vladeck, a national security law expert at the American University law school.
Vladeck said 15 judges on the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court have examined Section 215 of the USA Patriot Act, the provision of law under which the data collection takes place, without finding constitutional problems. “There’s a disconnect between the 15 judges on the FISA court who seem to think it’s a no-brainer that Section 215 is constitutional, and Judge Leon, who seems to think otherwise.”
Vladeck said there is a long road of court tests ahead for both sides in this dispute and said a higher court ultimately could avoid ruling on the big constitutional issue identified by Leon. “There are five or six different issues in these cases,” Vladeck said.
Robert F. Turner, a professor at the University of Virginia’s Center for National Security Law, predicted Leon’s decision was highly likely to be reversed on appeal. He said the collection of telephone metadata — the issue in Monday’s ruling — already has been addressed and resolved by the Supreme Court.
In his ruling, Leon granted a preliminary injunction against the collecting of the phone records of two men who had challenged the program, and said any such records for the men should be destroyed. The plaintiffs are Larry Klayman, a conservative lawyer, and Charles Strange, the father of a cryptologist technician who was killed in Afghanistan when his helicopter was shot down in 2011. The son worked for the NSA and support personnel for Navy SEAL Team VI.
Leon, an appointee of President George W. Bush, ruled that the two men “have a substantial likelihood of showing” that their privacy interests outweigh the government’s interest in collecting the data “and therefore the NSA’s bulk collection program is indeed an unreasonable search under the Constitution’s Fourth Amendment.”
“I have little doubt that the author of our Constitution, James Madison, who cautioned us to beware ‘the abridgment of freedom of the people by gradual and silent encroachments by those in power,’ would be aghast,” he declared.
In addition to civil liberties critics, big communications companies are unhappy with the NSA program, concerned about a loss of business from major clients who are worried about government snooping. President Barack Obama will meet Tuesday with executives from leading technology companies. The meeting was previously scheduled, but the NSA program is sure to be on the agenda, and now the court ruling will be in the mix.
The Obama administration has defended the program as a crucial tool against terrorism.
But in his 68-page, heavily footnoted opinion, Leon concluded that the government didn’t cite a single instance in which the program “actually stopped an imminent terrorist attack.”
“I have serious doubts about the efficacy of the metadata collection program as a means of conducting time-sensitive investigations in cases involving imminent threats of terrorism,” he added.
Former NSA Director Michael Hayden challenged Leon’s conclusion.
“If part of his constitutional ruling is the intelligence utility of the program, he’s not in a good position to judge that,” Hayden said in an interview. “He makes a judgment that the government was not able to show that this stopped an imminent terrorist attack. That’s not the only metric,” as metadata also helps intelligence analysts understand their adversaries and track their networks and behavior.
Hayden also downplayed the potential impact of the ruling, saying it seemed to apply only to this one case, rather than setting a legal precedent that would affect NSA operations.
The injunction applies only to the two individual plaintiffs, but it’s likely to open the door to much broader challenges to the records collection and storage.
The collection program was disclosed by former NSA systems analyst Edward Snowden, provoking a heated national and international debate. Snowden, in a statement sent to reporter Glenn Greenwald and obtained by The Associated Press, said: “I acted on my belief that the NSA’s mass surveillance programs would not withstand a constitutional challenge and that the American public deserved a chance to see these issues determined by open courts. Today, a secret program authorized by a secret court was, when exposed to the light of day, found to violate Americans’ rights. It is the first of many.”
Klayman said in a telephone interview that it was a big day for the country.
“Obviously it’s a great ruling and a correct ruling, and the first time that in a long time that a court has stepped in to prevent the tyranny of the other two branches of government,” he said.
Andrew C. Ames, a spokesman for the Justice Department’s National Security Division, said in a statement, “We’ve seen the opinion and are studying it. We believe the program is constitutional as previous judges have found. We have no further comment at this time.”
The government has argued that under a 1979 Supreme Court ruling, Smith v. Maryland, no one has an expectation of privacy in the telephone data that phone companies keep as business records. In that ruling, the high court rejected the claim that police needed a warrant to obtain such records.
But Leon said that was a “far cry” from the issue in this case.
“The almost-Orwellian technology that enables the government to store and analyze the phone metadata of every telephone user in the United States is unlike anything that could have been conceived of in 1979,” he wrote.

The classical complex phasor representation of sinusoidal voltages and currents is generalized to arbitrary waveforms. The method relies on the so-called analytic signal using the Hilbert transform.This naturally leads to the notion of a timevarying power triangle and its associated instantaneous power factor. Additionally, it is shown for linear systems that Budeanu’s reactive power can be related to energy oscillations, but only in an average sense. Furthermore, Budeanu’s distortion power is decomposed into a part representing a measure of the fluctuation of power around the active power and a part that represents the fluctuation of power around Budeanu’s reactive power. The results are presented for single-phase systems.

The Indiana General Assembly’s failure to enact tenant protections can lead to lifelong health, educational and financial challenges.
A report by the Notre Dame Student Policy Network said such protections include one measure that 45 other states already have.
It looks at a bill that failed to pass this year. SB 230 would’ve allowed tenants to withhold rent – or make repairs themselves and deduct that cost from their rent – if there are serious health and safety violations that a landlord ignores.
Prosperity Indiana policy director Andrew Bradley said Indiana remains one of only five states without such a law, which contributes to a serious affordable housing shortage.
“It’s a hole in the bottom of the bucket of the housing supply when you have places that really are not truly habitable, but are able to continue to extract rent,” Bradley said.
The Notre Dame report noted that a person making minimum wage in Indiana would have to work 91 hours a week to afford a two-bedroom rental and 74 hours a week to afford a one-bedroom.
Bradley said he hopes lawmakers will study "repair and deduct" legislation before next session.
“Look a little bit deeper under the hood of what’s made this work in other states," Bradley said. "To see what are the health impacts when we don’t get this right. What are the economic benefits for states that have got this right?”
Join the conversation and sign up for the Indiana Two-Way. Text "Indiana" to 73224. Your comments and questions in response to our weekly text help us find the answers you need on statewide issues.
The report does applaud the legislature for passing a bill this year, HEA 1214, that allows some eviction filings to be wiped from a person’s record, making it easier to get housing in the future.
Still, Bradley said the balance is off. The report also points to a bill from 2020 – SEA 148 – that it said "severely restricts a municipality’s ability to enforce restrictions on the tenant-landlord relationship."

Lycopene (C40H56) is a red compound found naturally in fruits and vegetables like tomatoes, red bell peppers, apricots, pink oranges, and grapefruit. It belongs to a group of chemicals known as carotenoids.
Chemically, it is made of a large polyene chain that contains 35–40 carbon atoms. Lycopene is a non-provitamin A carotenoid and shows no vitamin A activity. Your body absorbs Lycopene better in its processed form (cooked, etc.) than raw. You can also take Lycopene equally well as a supplement.
You must take Lycopene supplements in the prescribed dosage. Side effects of Lycopene include:
1. How much Lycopene can you take per day?
Take as prescribed as there is no fixed daily concentration of Lycopene. Studies were conducted with a Lycopene-restricted diet on healthy adults. They were given concentrations of 6.5, 15, and 30mg per day. Here, subjects who consumed 30mg of purified Lycopene daily showed the best results in keeping stomach, lung, and prostate cancer at bay.
2. What is Lycopene good for?
Lycopene is good for keeping the heart healthy and keeps many types of cancer such as prostate, breast, lung, bladder, ovaries, colon, and pancreas at bay. It is an antioxidant and anti-inflammatory. It protects skin from sun damage. It is good in preventing the incidence of gum disease and free-radical damage. It prevents the development of cardiovascular diseases like atherosclerosis (hardening of the atrial wall).
3. What does Lycopene do?
Lycopene, a non-provitamin A carotenoid, acts as an anti-inflammatory and an antioxidant. The root cause of many chronic diseases is inflammation; a diet supplemented with Lycopene can keep you healthy. Lycopene prevents cancer by acting on singlet oxygen, removes free radicals, and prevents the oxidative damage of DNA. Normal essential metabolic processes usually produce free radicals in the human body or from external sources such as exposure to ozone, air pollutants, X-rays, industrial chemicals, and smoking. These free radicals harm the cells and change the DNA structure. Incidence of heart disease is reduced, high blood pressure is decreased, and prevents atherosclerosis (hardening of arterial wall) by balancing good and bad cholesterol.
4. What food has Lycopene?
Fruits and vegetables found in nature contain Lycopene in high amounts.
Source – the riper the tomato, the higher the Lycopene content. Some other sources containing the most Lycopene per 100 grams are:
5. Where can you find Lycopene?
You can obtain Lycopene naturally from fruits and vegetables like tomatoes, watermelon, red bell peppers, etc. Another nutrient source for Lycopene is food supplements. You must take supplementary forms of Lycopene under the guidance of a doctor. Before getting a prescription, note the above side effects and report any underlying conditions like low blood pressure, allergy, etc.
6. Can Lycopene be harmful?
Lycopene usually is not toxic. It is commonly found in most of our diets. In rare cases, a Lycopene-high diet can lead to excess Lycopene in the blood and consequent skin discoloration known as lycopenodermia. You can revert this skin coloration by consuming a diet less rich in Lycopene.
7. Is Lycopene a mineral or vitamin?
Lycopene is one of the three most commonly found carotenoids in plants. They are a group of yellow, orange, and red pigments. Thus, it is neither a vitamin nor a mineral. Some carotenoids, which are called provitamin A carotenoids, get converted to vitamin A. Others like Lycopene remain as they are while still serving many important functions.
8. Does Lycopene help erectile dysfunction?
Erectile dysfunction, a typical male sexual disorder, is prevalent in 50% or more men with diabetes. Studies have shown that this erectile dysfunction resulting from chronic diabetes can be restored by continuous Lycopene treatment. A significant dosage of Lycopene can lower blood glucose levels and reduce oxidative stress. Thereby, they can rectify and/or prevent erectile dysfunction.
9. Is Lycopene a blood thinner?
Yes. Research has shown that Lycopene prevents the clotting of blood as it contains blood thinners. Hence, you should not take it with other blood-thinning agents such as aspirin, anticoagulants (blood thinners), antiplatelet drugs, and NSAIDs such as ibuprofen or naproxen.
10. Is Lycopene bad for the kidney?
Lycopene has a beneficial effect on kidneys. It prevents chronic kidney diseases, kidney damage due to mercury, inflammation due to obesity, and kidney damage due to diabetes. It reduces brush border loss, tubular vacuolization, and tubular dilation conditions. It prevents oxidative stress and inflammation in the kidney. It is protected by preventing free radicals which damage kidney cells.

Hotspot main goal is to provide internet connectivity via wi-fi to casual users. Users are sent to a captive portal from which they can access the network by authenticating themselves via social login, sms or email. The hotspot service allows the regulation, accountability and pricing of Internet access in public places, like internet points, hotels and fairs.
network isolation between corporate and guests
guests can authenticate themselves using social login (Facebook, Instagram, Linkedin) as well as sms or email login
paid service based on vouchers
hotspot manager with different accesses type (admin, customer, desk)
bandwidth Limit for each user
export account list and connections report (not yet implemented)
How it works?¶
The implementation is based on 2 components:
a remote hotspot manager with a Web GUI running on a cloud server that allows you to:
create a hotspot instance: usually each instance is referred to a specific location (e.g. Art Cafè, Ritz Hotel and so on)
edit the captive portal page
choose what type of login to use
see session and users logged
a client part (dedalo) installed in NethServer physically connected to the Access Points network : it assigns IP addresses to the clients of the Wi-Fi Network and redirects them to the captive portal for authentication.
For more detailed information please refer to https://nethesis.github.io/icaro/docs/components/ .
How to install it¶
install the server component: https://nethesis.github.io/icaro/docs/provisioning/ This procedure uses Vagrant to provision a Digital Ocean (DO) droplet. If you prefere to use another cloud provider, edit Vagrantfile accordingly.
configure the server in order to make it possibile to login: https://nethesis.github.io/icaro/docs/configuration/
install the client component in your NethServer: https://nethesis.github.io/icaro/docs/client_installation/
please remind that the installation requires at least 3 ethernet interfaces:
1 for normal LAN clients, marked with green role (you need it even if unused, it can be a VLAN)
1 (or more) for Internet connection, marked with red role
1 one for the Dedalo, marked with hotspot role
Hotspot manager interface¶
go to the hotspot manager
go to the Managers section and create a new Manager of type Reseller or Customer. More info about Roles here : https://nethesis.github.io/icaro/docs/manager/.
do logout and login with the new manager just created
go in the Hotspot section and create a new hotspot instance
click on the hotspot name and configure the captive portal
Hotspot Unit on NethServer¶
go to the section Hotspot Unit on NethServer
edit the parameters in the Hotspot unit registration page:
Host name: Public name of the Hotspot Manager
User name: user of a working account (reseller or customer)
After that just choose the ethernet interface where the hotspot will be active.
If you have the proxy web active a specific flag in the hotspot unit page will allow you to forward all the hotspot traffic (HTTP and HTTPS protocols) to the web proxy for logging purposes. Please be aware that this configuration has privacy implications.
Finally connect an Access Point (AP) to the hostpot interface.
Access Point Configuration¶
The Access Point (AP) must perform the sole function of enabling the connection with the firewall, they should behave like an ordinary network switch. Follow these recommendations:
configure the access point without authentication and without DHCP
disable any service (security services, etc.) in order to avoid interference with hotspot behavior
if you use more AP configure them with different SSID (eg: 1-SCHOOL / SCHOOL-2 / …) in order to easily identify any malfunctioning AP
configure the AP with a static IP address on a network segment (rfc-1918) different from the one used by the hotspot
if possible, enable the “client isolation”, to avoid traffic between clients connected to the access point
configure the AP to work on different channels to minimize interference, a good AP allow you to manage the channels automatically or manually select them
do not use too shoddy products, low quality AP can cause frequent disconnections which impact on the quality of the overall service, the recommendation is even more important if you are using repeaters
For test purposes only you can also connect a laptop or a pc via ethernet cable to the hotspot interface instead of a Wi-Fi network. This can be very useful if you are experiencing problems and you want to check if they are caused by the hotspot service or by the AP network.
Free Mode and Voucher Mode¶
The free mode (default) allows you to make login by yourself without the need of any code, just click on the desired social (or sms, email).
The voucher mode force you to create a voucher (basically “a code”) and give it to every user, only users with the voucher will be allowed to make login.

SomersetWorks are aware that this will be a long summer for many and the intention, based on their secured funding, is that across Somerset all young people leaving Year 11 will have the opportunity to take part in some fun, interesting, supportive and informative activities that will offer support to them in their journey to year 12.
SomersetWorks are particularly keen to ensure that our most vulnerable young people are encouraged and supported to sign up for programmes and will be discussing individuals within the Transition Panels for each school.
For more information on the Summer programmes, please see the attached documents.
Alongside the offer, the Bristol Bears will be basing a new Hitz/NEET course in Taunton from September – an exciting local development.
The Bristol Bears can make visits to schools to introduce this programme and put on taster sessions for your students. The sessions are aimed at all Level 1/2 learners but in particular those who are not sure of a destination and would value a small group with work experience.
SomersetWorks are also working with Support Services for Education at Kilve Court and Charterhouse to arrange activity days, including a range of activities with Young Somerset alongside experience days with The RSPCA. SomersetWorks will also have a particular focus on Level 3 learners, including a series of conference days in July for prospective A Level Students, plus experience days with a Level 3 focus and outdoor activities at Kilve Court and Charterhouse.
SomersetWorks are working closely with all the Somerset Colleges and Post 16 Destinations on a programme of support over the summer which will include contact, campus visits and taster days.
The offer will be available on the SomersetWorks website and will contain all the offers both virtual and face to face and will be updated throughout the summer. The intention is that all learners will have accessed the website before the end of August and be aware of how to book onto or access the activities or will have been guided to select a support option.

NASA builds its hardware to last. Missions like Curiosity, Hubble, and New Horizons have survived long past their initial design life. This allows NASA to wring out every bit of science from its most successful missions, and now you can add Juno and InSight to the list. NASA has given both robotic explorers a new lease on life, and Juno will expand its focus to include Jupiter’s moons.
The InSight mission launched in May 2018 and landed on the red planet later that year. It set down in Elysium Planitia, deploying the first-ever seismometer on another planet. It also has a tunneling temperature probe that has been a pain to get underground. NASA has only started reporting success there.
A NASA senior review panel decided that both InSight and Juno were likely to deliver substantial scientific benefits if they are funded to operate longer. InSight’s next phase is straightforward. This is a stationary lander, so NASA can’t decide to send it someplace else. NASA will, however, continue to use InSight to collect data from Elysium Planitia through December 2022.
The situation with Juno is somewhat different. This orbiter has been making long, swooping passes of the planet Jupiter since its arrival in 2016. It has since completed 30 passes of the planet, returning data on its magnetic field, clouds, and gravity. According to project scientists, Juno is still in good shape and should be able to explore the Jovian system more extensively by pushing the number of orbits to 76. This follows a previous three-year extension in 2018.
During its extended mission, Juno will be able to visit three of the four Galilean moons of Jupiter, the largest and arguably most interesting of the planet’s 79 total satellites. According to NASA’s preliminary research plan, Juno will fly within 1,000 kilometers (about 621 miles) of Ganymede this coming summer. That’s the largest of the solar system’s moons. In 2022, Juno will skim Europa at an altitude of just 320 kilometers (about 198 miles). Europa, of course, is famous for its global ice sheet that most likely conceals a liquid ocean. Finally, in 2024, Juno will spring past the volcanically active moon Io at a distance of 1,500 kilometers (about 932 miles).
Juno will be able to study the topography of these moons in unprecedented detail, and scientists will be able to compare the Juno data to Voyager data from decades ago. It may even be able to map the thickness of Europa’s ice sheet, which will come in handy if any of the proposed sub-surface exploration programs ever come to fruition. It could also give a boost to the upcoming Europa Clipper mission that will explore the moon in detail early in the next decade.

In his speech before the American Israel Public Affairs Committee in Washington on Sunday, President Barack Obama once again promised that the United States would not allow Iran to develop a nuclear weapon.
Sanctions are a key element of the president's strategy to neutralize the Iranian threat. But the Iranian regime continues to find new ways to circumvent U.S. strictures, moving billions of dollars through the global financial system. This has afforded Tehran more time and space to advance its dangerous program.
Mr. Obama must urgently close the loopholes, and only blanket action against all Iranian banks and foreign financial institutions with Iranian business will do the trick. Republican Sen. Mark Kirk and Democratic Rep. Brad Sherman are advancing legislation in the next few days to hone in on the problem areas and try to make American sanctions more airtight.
The new bill will represent the latest in a series of encouraging steps on this front in recent months. In December, Mr. Obama signed new sanctions into law against the Central Bank of Iran. The measure has squeezed the Iranian economy, encumbered oil exports and led to an acute crisis of confidence in the rial, Iran's currency, the value of which fell by half between December 2011 and January 2012 alone.
In February, the U.S. Congress followed up with a bill targeting the global financial gateway known as Swift, a Belgium-based secure financial messaging system for international financial transactions that Iranian banks and financial entities used more than two million times in 2010. These transactions, The Wall Street Journal reported, amounted to $35 billion in trade with Europe alone. The congressional bill is part of a new Iran sanctions legislation package that the U.S. Senate is expected to pass in the next several weeks.
Facing this scrutiny, Swift is now expected to expel the Central Bank of Iran and other Iranian institutions sanctioned by the EU. In a statement last month, Swift noted that the decision "reflects the extraordinary and highly exceptional circumstances of significant multi-lateral international support for the intensification of sanctions against Iran."
But even if Swift takes action, big loopholes remain. In the past, Iran may have used the powerful Luxembourg-based financial services company Clearstream to move its money. Clearstream facilitates international securities trades for over 2,000 institutional customers in more than 100 countries. In 2008, the U.S. Treasury provided information that led to the freezing of more than $2 billion in Iranian central-bank securities held by Citibank in the name of Clearstream.
This followed a 2007 ruling by a U.S. federal court in favor of relatives of those killed in a 1983 Hezbollah attack against a U.S. Marine barracks in Beirut. According to The Journal, Treasury furnished evidence that Iran's central bank had deposited securities with Clearstream, which in turn deposited the money at Citibank. In court filings, Clearstream denied knowledge about whether Iran's central bank was the beneficial owner of securities held through the company. It also argued that regardless of the beneficial ownership, the money was technically Clearstream's property, not Tehran's. The Iranian central bank, however, claimed that the frozen money was indeed Iran's. The case is the subject of ongoing litigation.
Clearstream recently tightened its procedures, possibly out of concern that the Iranian government could be using its services. Last month it warned U.S. account-holders that it would start blocking Iranian securities and other assets that fell under the scope of the sanctions.
But due diligence and risk management are not enough. The U.S. Congress and the European Union should require Clearstream and its competitors to disclose if there are any Iranian assets under their management or any services offered to clients holding Iranian assets, and if so, to disclose those activities to proper authorities who can implement asset freezes or other actions prescribed under applicable sanctions laws.
Even if such a move is taken, illicit finances are like water: They seep through the cracks. The regime in Tehran has recently shifted its assets from its banned banks into scores of entities not subject to sanctions. That's why Congress should pass legislation requiring the Obama administration to sanction every known Iranian financial institution.
The Obama administration has already made the legal case for doing so. In November, the administration announced a finding under Section 311 of the Patriot Act declaring the entire Iranian banking sector a money-laundering risk. This laid the groundwork for an amendment to the 2012 U.S. defense budget, which targeted the Iranian central bank. Congress can now leverage these precedents to target the rest of the Iranian banking sector with relative ease.
New measures will inevitably provoke Iranian countermeasures. You can bet that the regime will erect front companies, hide its fingerprints and find new ways into the financial system.
That is why Congress also should also pass legislation to penalize companies that provide technology or services to the Iranian central bank or any other Iranian financial entity. This would force companies to think twice before helping Iran access a financial gateway.
Finally, Congress should require all foreign financial institutions that do business in the U.S. to report all their transactions with Iranian entities to the Department of the Treasury. No one is better positioned to know who deals with Iran than these foreign banks. If they value their business in the U.S., they should be prepared to come clean about their Iranian deals. They resist at great reputational risk.
Separately, each of these loopholes may appear small. But together, they form a gaping hole in America's sanctions regime. The Obama administration has an opportunity to close them. If they remain open, there's a good chance sanctions will fail—with a nuclear Iran the result.
—Mr. Dubowitz is executive director of the Foundation for Defense of Democracies and head of its Iran Energy Project. Mr. Schanzer, a former terrorism analyst for the U.S. Department of the Treasury, is FDD's vice president for research.

In plain English:
Regardless of the spin that follows, Obamacare is the law of the land. From now on it is open to criticism, repeal, or reform. But it will be implemented and reform will require both political parties to find ways to cooperate. It is a time now for the leaders of the health care industries in America and the leaders of America’s job creation community to step up to what should no longer be a political plate and be heard on policy implementation.
The president himself should take the first step to the plate and speak to the importance of the role of the law and the national government, not in delivering health care, but in shaping the payment policy which rewards a healthier people, healthy communities, and a value-oriented health care system. This shouldn’t start in Washington but rather in communities across America.And he should invite governors and legislators of both parties to sit at the health policy improvement table with him.
In a presidential election campaign it is critical to engage in a discussion of the importance of health system reform in the coming debates in Washington over entitlement reform, as the Bowles-Simpson Commission has already done. It is equally important for state government leaders to acknowledge the critical role that national health care financing policy must play in subsidizing both private and public insurance and in helping communities deal with the social determinants of poor health.
Democrats in Congress who voted for the ACA/Obamacare especially must not fail the promise of the law by eliminating its financing. Senators like Klobuchar and Franken from MN need to accept the fact that if John Roberts had the guts to uphold the constitutionality of the law, they need the guts to recognize that the medical device industry will benefit hugely from the coverage expansion in the law and that a temporary and effective tax of 1.5 percent on incomes over $5 million a year is a tiny price to pay for all that new jobs-generating business.
Former U.S. Senator Dave Durenberger (R-MN, 1978-1995) is currently the Senior Health Policy Fellow at the University of St. Thomas Opus College of Business and chairs the National Institute of Health Policy (NIHP). This post was originally published on his blog, NIHP.org, and on the Opus College of Business' High Performance Health Care blog.

The aggregates and concrete industry is continually striving to provide a net positive environmental impact throughout the lifetime of its products. “Whole-life performance” is a concept whereby all environmental impacts, including those from raw material extraction, manufacture, transport, construction and use of the building to end-of-life disposal or reuse, are accounted for when assessing the impacts of buildings or other construction projects. Focusing on just part of the lifecycle is misleading in terms of the analysing the overall impacts of buildings and infrastructure projects. When looked at from this whole-life perspective, the environmental benefits of concrete become evident.
Concrete buildings can provide substantial energy savings during their lifetime. The high level of thermal mass in concrete buildings means that indoor temperatures remain relatively stable irrespective of external fluctuations. This sharply reduces the need for extra heating or cooling as well as providing greater comfort. As the energy use of buildings accounts for 80% of their environmental impact, increased energy efficiency in buildings offsets the impact resulting from materials production.
At the end of its life, concrete can be fully recycled, either into new concrete or in other applications such as road base. Therefore concrete is part of the “circular economy”.
The industry also recognises the impact of its extraction activities on the landscape and has invested in quarry rehabilitation programmes and encouraging biodiversity is a key part of the concrete industry’s sustainability policy.

Defined as the opinion or social evaluation of the public toward a person, a group of individuals or an organization, a reputation is something that most people spend a great deal of their lives cultivating and honing. It starts as early as grade school, continues through high school and college, and then moves along into adulthood at jobs, in social situations, and within families.
With so much focus on reputation-building at the individual level, it stands to reason that individual companies would use the exercise to ensure their longevity. And while companies of all sizes strive to do this in the bricks-and-mortar world, it wasn’t until recently that small to midsized businesses gained access to the tools they needed to do just that online.
Utilizing Web networking options
By combining online reputation management with online resources such as Yelp, Naymz, LinkedIn, and RepVine, companies of all sizes can track what’s being written and said about them online, while at the same time influencing what people see when they search for their products and services. Much like firms such as Amazon and IBM take these steps to handle their increasingly tech-savvy and information-hungry consumer audience, small to midsized companies can do the same with just a few simple steps.
“We’re seeing companies of all sizes getting interested and paying attention to their online reputations,†says Miriam Warren, director of East Coast marketing for San Francisco-based Yelp, a Web guide that relies on community voices to reveal insights on local businesses and services. “When they find out that a Google search on their business name turns up a Yelp review before their own company Websites, they’re even more interested.â€
To launch an online reputation-building strategy, Lorrie Thomas, a Web marketing expert in Santa Barbara, California says the first step is to become visible on search engines that specialize in communities (such as Yelp, RepVine, or LinkedIn), and create a public profile (at no cost) that everyone can access and comment on. “Tap the power of these low- to no-cost tools,†Thomas advises, “and use them to create alliances and build the public’s positive perception about your company and its products and services.â€
Once the profile is built, the next step is to focus on the kind of outreach that will attract people by posting useful content, networking with others in your industry, and using “descriptive words and phrases that accurately describe your firm and what it does,†Thomas says.
The other way to drive traffic to your rep-building profile and get past and present customers to post reviews about their experiences relies on the age-old “ask for the sale†strategy. “When someone buys from you, ask them to visit the appropriate site and give their two cents on the experience,†Thomas says. “Those little steps will go a long way in creating a solid online reputation.â€
But what happens when the reviews are negative? According to Warren, even the most scathing comments can contribute to a

Ginseng is the root of herbaceous plants belonging to the genus Panax. There are a few different types of ginseng, such as Korean ginseng and American ginseng. It’s believed that ginseng grows best in the mountains of Asia, but ginseng is grown worldwide. However, due to ginseng plants requiring cold winters, you’ll need to learn how to grow ginseng indoors.
Like medicinal plants like black cohosh, Jack-in-the-Pulpit, and goldenseal, ginseng was a popular herb for Native Americans to use as a medicinal plant grown for nutritional value. Clinical research on the medicinal properties of ginseng finds inconclusive results about the effectiveness of ginseng as a medicine.
As a dietary supplement, there is no evidence to support that ginseng effectively treats any medical condition and that possible contaminants in ginseng products may cause adverse effects.
Can You Grow Ginseng Indoors?
Outside of their medicinal uses, Asian ginseng and Panax ginseng roots find use in Asian side dishes, tea and alcoholic beverages. Growing ginseng indoors is a great way to create your supply of this bitter yet sweet root if you’re looking to cultivate your own ginseng.
There are many ginseng benefits for your health, including reducing inflammation and strengthening the immune system. Growing your own is pretty straightforward.
Growing ginseng indoors isn’t difficult, though it does require patience as germination takes up to 18 months. Stratified seeds – stored in sand or peat in refrigerated conditions for at least six months – are available for purchase and make germination faster.
Because it takes a minimum of five years for ginseng to be ready for harvest, you may want to purchase a seedling instead. Depending on your area, buying a seedling may be the pricier option.
Why Grow Your Own Ginseng?
Wild ginseng grows in deciduous forests across North America and Canada in areas with dense shade-facing slopes. In America, Panax quinquefolius grows in the mountain woodlands of the Appalachian mountains and, due to its popularity, has fallen under strict regulations regarding harvesting.
Restrictions vary by state, and permits are available to harvest, although knowing how to grow ginseng indoors on your property eliminates the need to purchase permits.
Growing Ginseng Indoors
If you’re starting with a seedling, plant roots under three inches of soil. They do best if planted in early spring. If you plan on growing ginseng to mimic outdoor conditions, use raised beds and netting to avoid disturbing your plant with foot traffic so you can grow wild-simulated ginseng.
How to Grow Ginseng Indoors
Ginseng plants are not high-maintenance growers and require little attention. To grow ginseng at home or when growing ginger in a pot, find a location out of direct sunlight with 75-80 percent shade and a pot about 15 inches in diameter with good drainage.
The best and easiest way to grow ginseng from seed is to sow regular or stratified seeds about 1 ½ inches into the soil and water well in the fall. Before planting, measure your soil pH, as ginseng thrives in slightly acidic soil.
Ginseng seeds germinate after the first year. After planting, growing plants flower and produce harvestable red berries, but the rootlets of ginseng plants are what you want to harvest.
Grow-ginseng roots reach maturity once they have grown at least three or more prongs, taking five to ten years. These prongs are not indicators of the plant’s age, only its maturity.
Can You Grow Ginseng Indoors from Bulbs?
When growing ginseng from seedlings, look for ones with dormant bulbs. To create your own potting mix, combine one part perlite, one part vermiculite, and four parts sphagnum moss. Moisten the mixture and add it to your pot(s) to fill ¾ of the way to the top.
Create an indentation in the middle of the soil for your ginseng bulb, then cover it with your mix. Flatten the potting soil and pack down the mixture. Move your pot into an area that receives indirect sunlight and partial shade. Water if the top layer of soil becomes dry to the touch.
Harvesting and Using Home Grown Ginseng
Once maturity is reached, harvest ginseng during its growing season in the fall, similar to harvesting ginger root. Ginseng roots are eaten raw or used in tea, soups, or stir-fries. Similar to harvesting ginger root. Roots are dried and then sliced or grated for use in the future.
After harvesting your ginseng root, peel it and slice off ten thin slices. Add your ginseng to five cups of water and bring it to a boil. Pour the water through a sieve to catch the ginseng and allow the water to fill a cup. Add honey to taste.
Note: Contact a doctor before using ginseng as a medication because ginseng dietary supplements have come under scrutiny for possibly containing filler materials like wheat or toxic metals.
Caring for Your Ginseng Plant
While growing ginseng indoors, weeds won’t be much of a problem, but adding mulch made of organic matter helps maintain the moisture level of your plant. To avoid buying mulch, create your own leaf litter by gathering items from outside.
Leaves, twigs, and bits of bark that have fallen from trees come together to make leaf litter and are essential parts of why soil remains healthy. The decomposition of these natural ingredients releases nutrients into the soil and keeps it moist. Poplar trees are deciduous flowering plants that make excellent leaf litter for your ginseng.
Rodents and Diseases
Diseases are more common when ginseng is grown under artificial shade or in intense ginseng production systems; your ginseng becoming infected is not likely if grown indoors. Unlike other plants, insects are not the main concern for damaging your ginseng plant, instead, worry about rodents.
Dealing with Root Rot
Root rot is less common for ginseng; however, it is serious. Fungal organisms cause root rot, and it is visible on your plant as discolorations of leaves. Infected roots also appear discolored.
Infected roots contain black spongy sections or will feel mushy to the touch. If necessary, dig up all infected roots before the problem spreads through the pot or root bed.
Because ginseng has such a long maturity time, ensure your plant has the best chance of growing without disease. Growing in pots with good drainage and good air circulation are easy ways to prevent diseases from taking over your plants.
Keeping Pests Away from Ginseng
Pests for your ginseng plant are those that interfere with its growth, including deer, rodents, as well as common insects. Homemade pesticides are a simple and effective way to kill pests targeting your plant.
Combine neem oil and the liquid soap in water and shake thoroughly in a spray bottle. Spray the mixture onto affected foliage to get rid of pests. This mixture also works as a natural fungicide to combat powdery mildew and other fungal infections.
Whether you choose to grow ginseng at home as medicinal herbs or are interested in growing your supply for cooking, growing ginseng is a rewarding project due to its protected status.
We hope that you found our guide on how to grow ginseng indoors helpful and consider sharing it with your loved ones on Facebook and Pinterest who may be interested in answering the question, “Can you grow ginseng indoors?”

When you submit your work to a writing group like Manchester Speculative Fiction, it’s best to use a standard manuscript format that makes reading your submission easy for other people. That way, they can concentrate on their constructive critique.
So, here’s the manuscript format you should use and some templates to help you get started.
Files, Paper Size and Fonts
- We expect electronic submissions in Microsoft Word format.
- I.e., .doc or .docx
- Use A4 paper size in case people print your submission out.
- Check you haven’t accidentally used the ‘similar-looking but it won’t print properly’, ‘US Letter’ paper size.
- Use the same plain, readable font throughout the manuscript.
- Times New Roman, size twelve, is a good choice.
- Monospaced fonts like Courier are fine too.
- Don’t use font differences to emphasise too much.
- Bold is okay for chapter headings.
- Italics are okay for emphasis, thoughts, etc.
- But don’t emphasise other parts of your manuscript using:
- Different font sizes.
On Page Manuscript Format
Put a header on the top right-hand side of each page that includes:
- Your name.
- The title of your piece.
- The page number.
Whenever the narrative jumps (e.g. in time or place) mark it with a specific marker, e.g. a hash symbol ‘#’, an asterisk ‘*’ or a few dashes, so people know it is a deliberate jump.
Indent the first line of each paragraph, except for the first paragraph of a new scene.
- Tip: setting indenting up using paragraph formatting, rather than by using the <tab> key, will save you a lot of work.
- Dialogue for a new speaker goes in a new paragraph.
- If the dialogue continues something the same character was doing, then it stays in the same paragraph.
- Single speech marks denote dialogue. Double speech marks indicate quotes.
- Tip: this is a difference between British and American English. If you’re targeting an American audience, use double quotes for dialogue. Either way, be consistent.
- Double-space the entire text (i.e. leave a blank line between each line of text).
- This is easy to do in Word using paragraph formatting.
- Also, turn off the space after/before paragraphs using paragraph formatting.
Your manuscript should end with a line saying The End, so your readers know nothing has gone missing from your submission.

To John Kendall, casino gambling
will soon look like this:
"If at table 17, player
4 has been betting $5, and all of a sudden he bets $500, they
want to be notified," said Kendall, whose firm is investing
heavily in technology known as RFID -- radio frequency identification
-- to make the tags work. "Our reporting will tell the casino
manager that this person has just changed his betting habits,"
perhaps because he is cheating.
The technology has been around
for a decade -- including use in the E-ZPass system that helps
speed drivers through toll booths on many East Coast highways
-- but RFID is now robust enough, and getting cheap enough, that
it is beginning to transform numerous sectors of the economy
by allowing unparalleled tracking of products and people.
"If you know quickly who
is in the area, you can customize their experience," said
Paul McKeown, who heads IBM's global smart-card efforts. McKeown
said he was inspired by an experience his mother had in her small
town in England, where for years she was banking at the same
branch and one day wasn't recognized and was challenged by a
RFID Tags Read Remotely
But RFID initiatives alarm privacy
advocates, as well as some federal government officials and state
legislators, who understand the benefits but worry about the
possibility of abuse in the tracking of goods and people.
The Food and Drug Administration is in fact encouraging adoption of RFID in the pharmaceutical industry to attack counterfeit drugs, pushing for widespread tagging of medicines by 2007.
Other uses are proliferating
as well. One California company has developed a soap dispenser
capable of reading employee tags to let restaurant managers know
whether their workers washed their hands while in the bathroom.
A charter school in Buffalo uses tags on its students as a way
of taking attendance in the mornings.
That view is shared by the Federal
Trade Commission, which held an all-day seminar on the issue
Monday to examine the tradeoffs.
A consortium of more than 40 public-interest groups has called for strict public-notification rules, the right to demand deactivation of the tag when people leave stores, and overall limits on the technology's use until privacy concerns have been better addressed.
Early Ambitions of the RFID Movement
Their fears were particularly
stoked by the early ambitions of leaders of the RFID movement,
who envisioned a world in which every product had a unique identifier
that could be electronically tracked.
The MIT center has disbanded,
but its work is being carried on by EPCGlobal Inc., a corporate-funded
organization that later this summer hopes to announce uniform
worldwide technical standards for the technology. The group is
also issuing privacy guidelines.
"A lot of people are making
crazy statements" about how fast the price of a tag -- which
typically contains a tiny chip and an antenna -- will fall, said
Jeff Woods, an RFID analyst with the market research firm Gartner
Wal-Mart Pressing Ahead
But Wal-Mart is pressing ahead,
announcing last week that it was expanding the program to its
top 300 suppliers by 2006. Target Corp. and Albertson's Inc.
have announced similar initiatives, as has the Department of
Defense, which will affect hundreds of suppliers.
That is music to the ears of
a burgeoning sector of large and small companies making RFID
tags and readers, and providing hardware and software integration
But it is those same unimaginables that worry Katherine Albrecht, a Boston area privacy activist who is leading the charge against RFID. Albrecht, who is working on a doctoral dissertation at Harvard University, founded Consumers Against Supermarket Privacy Invasion and Numbering in 1999 after studying how grocery chains were using loyalty cards to develop marketing data about their customers.
Tags in Consumer Products
"Who controls the data"
collected from RFID tags? Albrecht asked. She worries that companies
putting tags into consumer products might forge alliances with
the makers of carpeting, for example, to embed sensing devices
that could develop intelligence about how consumers use the items.
"Anonymity is an important
issue that must be handled very thoughtfully," said Elliot
Maxwell, who heads an international committee that advises EPCGlobal
on privacy and other policy issues.
Privacy Activists Wonder
But few applications raise more
eyebrows than RFID tags implanted in people, a business pursued
by Applied Digital Solutions Inc. and its subsidiary, VeriChip
Corp., of Palm Beach, Fla.
The company and the family hoped
the tag would speed patients through frequent hospital visits
or in the case of an emergency by quickly alerting doctors to
a person's identity and medical history. But the FDA quickly
stepped in and deemed medical uses of the technology subject
to government approval, which is still pending.

Tokyo - Les cartes d'accès pourraient un jour devenir obsolètes. Bientôt il suffira de tendre la main pour que les portes les mieux gardées s'ouvrent. Cet appareil peut en effet vous reconnaître rien que par la disposition de vos veines. Baptisé "Vein Sign", il scanne le dos de votre main et peut identifier une personne préalablement enregistrée avec un risque d'erreur minime de 0,0001%. Ce nouveau système de reconnaissance biométrique scanne les poignets en 0,5 secondes. Mis au point par NEC Engineering Co., il pourrait bien, dans le futur, remplcer les cartes d'accès.

The RFID technology was developed by HHS' Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) in partnership with five states, including California and New York. "This is a rare opportunity to use advanced technology to meet society's dual objectives of better serving our homeless population while making our cities safer," HRSA Administrator Betty James Duke said.
The miniscule RFID tags are no larger than a matchstick and will be implanted subdermally, meaning under the skin. Data from RFI tion from Homelessness (PATH) program, which was created under the McKinney Act to fund support services for the homeless. A second phase of the project, scheduled to be completed in early 2005, will wirelessly transmit live information on the locations of homeless people to handheld computers running the Windows CE operating system.A spokesman for the National Coalition for the Homeless, which estimates that there are between 2.3 million and 3.5 million people experiencing homelessness nationwide, said the pilot program could be easily abused.
"We have expressed our tentative support for the idea to HRSA, but only if it includes privacy safeguards," the spokesman said. "So far it's unclear whether those safeguards will actually be in place by roll-out."Chris Hoofnagle, deputy director of the Electronic Privacy Information Center, said the mandatory RFID program would be vulnerable to a legal challenge. "It is a glaring violation of the Tenth Amendment, which says that powers not awarded to the gover.

Human Assisted Neural Devices
Program Manager: Dr. Eric Eisenstadt
The Human Assisted Neural Devices Program represents a major DSO thrust area that will comprise a multidisciplinary, multipronged approach with far reaching impact. The program will create new technologies for augmenting human performance through the ability to noninvasively access codes in the brain in real time and integrate them into peripheral device or system operations. Focus will be on the following areas:
1. Extraction of neural and force dynamic codes related to patterns of motor or sensory activity required for executing simple to complex motor or sensory activity (e.g., reaching, grasping, manipulating, running, walking, kicking, digging, hearing, seeing, tactile). This will require the exploitation of new interfaces and algorithms for providing useful nonlinear transformation, pattern extraction techniques, and the ability to test these in appropriate models or systems.
2. Determination of necessary force and sensory feedback (positional, postural, visual, acoustic, or other) from a peripheral device or interface that will provide critical inputs required for closed loop control of a working device (robotic appendage or other peripheral control device or system).
3. New methods, processes, and instrumentation for accessing neural codes noninvasively at appropriate spatiotemporal resolution to provide closed loop control of a peripheral device. This could include both fundamental interactions of neural cells, tissue, and brain with energy profiles that could provide noninvasive access to codes (magnetics, light, or other).
4. New materials and device design and fabrication methods that embody compliance and elastic principles, and that capture force dynamics that integrate with neural control commands. These include the use of dynamic materials and designs into working prototypes.
5. Demonstrations of plasticity from the neural system and from an integrated working device or system that result in real time control under relevant conditions of force perturbation and cluttered sensory environments from which tasks must be performed (e.g., recognizing and picking up a target and manipulating it).
6. Biomimetic implementation
of controllers (with robotics or other devices and systems) that
integrate neural sensory or motor control integrated with force
dynamic and sensory feedback from a working device or system.
The first phase of the program may include dynamic control of
simple and complex motor or sensory activity directly using neural
codes integrated into a machine, device, or system. Simple actions
considered include using a robotic arm or leg to sense a target,
reach for it and manipulate it, throw or kick an object at a
target, or recognize a sensory input and responding to it (visual,
acoustic) directly through input/output brain integration. More
complex activity may include issues related to force or sensory
perturbation in more complex environments

Voici un article qui nous montre encore une fois comment "on" parviendra à faire passer pour "bénéfiques", sinon utiles, des technologies absolument répugnantes et dangereuses pour les libertés comme pour les individus !
POURQUOI ET COMMENT PISTER VOS ENFANTS : l'article suivant résume à peu près toutes les technologies disponibles (y compris bien entendu l'immonde verichip, la micro-puce sous-cutanée pour humains), en jouant sur la corde sensible de parents (trop ?) attentionnés. C'est à en avoir la nausée...
La fin de l'article, tout particulièrement,
But before I discuss physical
tracking, I should mention that there are several ways to track
children on the Internet. Products like IamBigBrother, SpyAgent
and eBlaster monitor various levels of activity and generate
reports and alerts. There is even a product called Xanovia that
allows you to view and block what is coming in or going out over
the Web cameras in your house.
It is endorsed by the Lost Children's Network and Parenting Magazine. For those with aging parents, it also can be used by Alzheimer's patients.
Preteens and Teens
More appropriate for older children,
one of the easiest ways to track a child is through a GPS-enabled
phone. By using a product like AccuTracking, a child who has
the related phone can be located on a Web page and tracked.
Granted, this technology trac life.
The devices have several other security features, including door unlock, starter interrupt and low battery notification. Some good news about this somewhat costly technology is that you might actually get a discount from your insurance provider if you get one of these things.
Another similar product from MicroTRAKgps.com will do all of the above plus will honk the horn on command, which is really helpful when you want to locate your car in a large parking lot or just startle the heck out of someone standing near your car.
Chipping the Child
Something we do to locate our own lost pets is place a passive microchip under their skin so they can be scanned if they find their way into an animal control facility. A similar technology has been created to address parental concerns about kidnapping. Called the VeriChip, it arrived with significant controversy.
It uses a passive technology with limited range. Basically, the child would need to be scanned with a hand- ainful than losing a child. We unfortunately live in a hostile world, and it sometimes is a comfort to know that there are technologies available that can make it a little less hostile for the most vulnerable of us.

Melbourne Age | July 10 2004
Imagine a world where the government knows how and where you travel, what your spending habits are, your medical history and your daily habits.
Then imagine all this information and more can also be accessed by corrupt officials, staff from the private company handling the technology and, in extreme cases, criminals.
Griffith University Law School Associate Professor Justin Malbon warns that the Queensland government's decision to implement a smart card driver's licence in 2006 would eventually lead to all of the above ... and more.
And he also cautioned people outside Queensland against complacency, because while the absence of an Upper House in the Sunshine State made it an ideal trailblazer, the other states have already signalled their intention to fall in line.
"The longer term fear of this is that it will gradually shift the relationship between the government and the people," Prof Malbon warned.
He said the concept was a threat to the democratic process and, depending on which government came to power, had the potential to erase individual rights.
Prof Malbon said a public debate on the issue is planned at the Queensland College of the Arts at South Bank (near Brisbane's city centre) on Tuesday.
He said both sides of the argument would be represented - the speakers include Transport Minister Paul Lucas, Independent MP Liz Cunningham, Queensland Council of Civil Liberties president Ian Deardon and Alex Scott from the Queensland Public Sector Union.
Although touted simply as a innovative new driver's licence scheme, Prof Malbon said the smart card chip had room for far more information than could possibly be used for license details.
He said what was known as "function creep" would mean that more and more information would be gradually added to the card under the guise of user convenience, including public transport ticketing, health, banking services and even bill payment.
While some of it would be voluntary, including adding credit card facilities, other developments would be compulsory, he said.
A consultation paper on the smart card driver's licence released by the state government claims the new technology would protect Queenslanders from identity fraud and licence tampering.
But Prof Malbon said it would have the opposite effect, leaving the average person wide open to hackers and even corrupt officials willing to cash in on the information trade.
"It makes it easier for fraudsters because you've conveniently put all this huge amount of information about you on one little chip that you have to carry around with you," he said.
Prof Malbon said the concept was similar to the Australia Card, which was howled down by the Australian public when it was first mooted in 1986 - but the technology was now far more intrusive and advanced.
He said the smart card, which could hold reams of encrypted private and personal information that cannot be read by the card's holder, could also eventually lead to people being blacklisted by government or private officials without their knowledge.
Currently there are only eight countries in the world that use a smartcard licence system: Argentina, China, El Salvador, Ghana, Guatemala, India, Malaysia and Mexico.
"And none of these countries are particularly well known for there democratic tendencies," Prof Malbon said.
Queensland Premier Peter Beattie insisted that while he always encouraged debate, the smart card was not a Big Brother tactic to destroy democracy.
"We're not going to force anyone to do anything, but smart cards are the way of the future and there are people at the QUT (Queensland University of Technology) and other universities that have been strong advocates of them for some time," he said.
Mr Beattie said anyone who opposed the smart card was condemning the use of ATMs and ATM cards - because that's how the average person would use them.
He said as for people being blacklisted, freedom of information laws would still apply allowing anyone to access their own information.
"You should be afraid of the smart card like you should be afraid of the Easter Bunny," Mr Beattie added.

Computer proof assistants have been an intriguing subplot in mathematics for years — promising to automate core aspects of the way mathematicians work, but in practice having little effect on the field.
But a new result, completed in early June, has the feel of a rookie’s first hit in the big leagues: At last, a proof assistant has made a real contribution to the leading edge of mathematical research by verifying the correctness of a complicated, modern proof.
“It demonstrates that modern maths can be formalized in a theorem prover,” said Bhavik Mehta, a graduate student at the University of Cambridge who contributed to the work.
The proof in question is by Peter Scholze of the University of Bonn, one of the most widely respected mathematicians in the world. It is just one piece of a larger project called “condensed mathematics” that he and Dustin Clausen of the University of Copenhagen have been working on for several years.
Their goal is to create new foundations for topology, replacing the traditional notion of a topological space — whose examples include the sphere and the doughnut — with more versatile objects that the authors call condensed sets. In this new perspective, topological spaces are thought of as being assembled from infinite points of dust glued together.
That project includes a particularly important, difficult proof that Scholze worked out himself during a consuming week in July 2019. It establishes that an area of math called real functional analysis still works if you replace topological spaces with condensed sets.
Scholze began the proof on a Monday. He worked entirely in his head, barely writing anything down, let alone using a computer. By Thursday afternoon he’d nearly figured it out, save one piece that he just couldn’t get right. He was also feeling the strain of the intense concentration required to hold such a complicated argument in his active memory. So that night he unwound with some friends at a bar. He paid for it the next morning, Friday.
“I was completely hungover,” said Scholze.
But he also knew that he wouldn’t have time to work over the weekend, making Friday his best chance to finish the proof. The thought of losing touch with everything he’d built up in his mind over the past week, then having to start again fresh on Monday, was more than he wanted to consider.
“I didn’t think I’d have the mental capacity to rebuild this in my head again,” said Scholze.
So he powered through and finished the proof. But afterward, he wasn’t certain that what he had done was correct. The reason was more than the hazy circumstances in which he’d cleared the final hurdle. The proof was so complicated Scholze knew it was possible he had missed something.
“It’s some very convoluted thing with many moving parts. It’s hard to know which parts move by how much when you shift one of these parameters,” said Scholze.
Scholze didn’t find time to actually write down the proof until November 2019. A year later he contacted Kevin Buzzard, a mathematician at Imperial College London and a prominent evangelist for a proof assistant program called Lean. Scholze wanted to know whether it would be possible to type his proof into Lean — turning it into lines of code like a software program — so that the program could verify whether it was really true.
Buzzard shared Scholze’s inquiry with a handful of other members of the Lean community including Johan Commelin, a postdoctoral researcher at the University of Freiburg. Commelin had the perfect background for the job — he’d been using Lean for several years and was familiar with condensed mathematics — and he was convinced that verifying Scholze’s proof would do a lot to legitimize the proof assistant’s standing in the mathematical community.
“Being able to collaborate with Peter on such a project and having his name attached to it would be an enormous boost for Lean,” said Commelin.
But he also thought it could take a year or more to do it, which gave him pause. Commelin was worried he might spend all that time verifying the proof and, at the end, the rest of the math world would just shrug.
“I thought that if I spend two years working on this and I come out of my cave and say, ‘This is fine,’ the rest of the world is going to say, ‘Wow, we already knew this, Peter proved it,’” said Commelin. It wouldn’t matter that Scholze himself wasn’t entirely sure.
So Commelin asked Scholze if he’d be willing to make a public statement vouching for the importance of the work. Scholze agreed, and on Dec. 5, 2020, he wrote a post on Buzzard’s blog.
They called it the “Liquid Tensor Experiment,” a nod to mathematical objects involved in the proof called liquid real vector spaces, and to a progressive rock band he and Commelin enjoy called Liquid Tension Experiment. In the 4,400-word primer, Scholze explained some technical aspects of the result and then added a note testifying in plain language to what he saw as the importance of checking it with a computer.
“I think this may be my most important theorem to date. (It does not really have any applications so far, but I’m sure this will change,)” Scholze wrote. “Better be sure it’s correct…”
Assurance in place, Commelin set to work. After explaining to Lean the mathematical statement whose proof he ultimately wanted the program to check, he brought more mathematicians into the project. They identified a few lemmas — intermediate steps in the proof — that seemed most approachable. They formalized those first, coding them on top of the library of mathematical knowledge that Lean draws on to determine if a given statement is true or not.
Last October, Quanta wrote that the collective effort to write mathematics in Lean has the “air of a barn raising.” This project was no different. Commelin would identify discrete parts of the proof and post them to Zulip, a discussion board that serves as a hub for the Lean community. When mathematicians saw a part of the proof that fit their expertise, they’d volunteer to formalize it.
Mehta was one of about a dozen mathematicians who contributed to the work. In May he saw a post from Commelin asking for help formalizing the proof of a statement called Gordan’s lemma, which related to Mehta’s work in the area of combinatorial geometry. He spent a week coding the proof in terms that were consistent with the larger proof the mathematicians were building. It was emblematic, he said, of the way Lean works.
“It’s one big collaboration with a lot of people doing what they’re good at to make a singular monolith,” he said.
As the work proceeded, Scholze was a consistent presence on Zulip, answering questions and explaining points of the proof — a bit like an architect giving directions to builders on a job site. “He was always within reach,” Commelin said.
At the end of May the group finished formalizing the one part of the proof Scholze was most unsure about. Commelin entered the final keystroke at 1:10 a.m. on May 29. Lean compiled the proof, and it ran like a functioning program, verifying that Scholze’s work was 100% correct. Now Scholze and other mathematicians can apply those techniques from real functional analysis to condensed sets, knowing that they’ll definitely work in this new setting.
And while Scholze still prefers to work out proofs in his head, Lean’s abilities left him impressed. He can now foresee programs like it playing an enduring role in research mathematics.
“This experiment has changed drastically my impression of how capable [proof assistants] are,” Scholze said. “I now think it’s sensible in principle to formalize whatever you want in Lean. There’s no real obstruction.”

Ada Chard Williams
|Died||6 March 1900 (aged 24)|
Newgate Prison, London, England
|Other names||Mrs Hewetson|
|Spouse(s)||William Chard Williams|
|Conviction(s)||17 February 1900|
|Penalty||Death (by hanging)|
Florence Jones, a young unmarried mother, had read an advert in the local newspaper which offered to find homes for unwanted children. She agreed to pay £5 to a Mrs Hewetson (Ada Chard Williams) but could only give her £3 on the day. She returned later with the balance and found that Mrs Hewetson and Selina had vanished.
Florence reported the matter to the police. Ada Chard Williams wrote a letter to the police denying the crime but in effect admitting she was a baby farmer who bought and sold babies for profit. The police soon discovered that Mrs Hewetson was Ada Chard Williams. However, they had no body with which to prove there had been a murder, at least not until Selina's corpse was washed up on the bank of the Thames at Battersea.
Braxton Hicks, the coroner who carried out the subsequent inquest, pointed out that the knots in the cord, a "fisherman's bend", had been found on three other dead bodies of children. On the child's head there was a very large bruise, which suggested that someone had taken the child by the legs, and struck it against a wall before it was strangled.
Like Amelia Dyer, Ada Chard Williams had her own "signature" way of tying up bodies she wished to dispose of, using a knot called a Fisherman's knot or bend and which was a crucial piece of evidence at her trial at the Old Bailey on 16 and 17 February 1900. She was hanged, aged 24, in the yard of Newgate Prison on 6 March 1900, the last woman to be hanged there.
She was suspected of killing other children although no proceedings were brought.

Blackjack is a card game that has many variations. Blackjack can be played with only one deck or with special blackjack decks designed for blackjack. Many books have been written that teach blackjack basics and strategies. Some of these books contain advanced terms and strategies, so they should not be taken lightly. These rules can help you learn the game of blackjack more quickly and easily.<br/><br/>Never bet with more than what you have in your bankroll. Instead of betting, bet only the amount in your wallet at the moment. This rule goes for both the minimum and maximum bets. It is against the rules to double or triple your blackjack bet.<br/><br/>Blackjack games are best for experienced gamblers. Therefore, blackjack games are not for everyone. Blackjack casinos often have blackjack tables for more skilled or experienced gamblers who don't enjoy the thrill of blackjack. This will keep the more skilled blackjack players away of casinos where the less experienced players are more likely lose.<br/><br/>- Most casinos have a good house edge. The best tables have smaller dealer banks. A larger dealer bank will result in more cards being dealt out. A higher house edge gives the casino an advantage. A smaller house edge can give the casino an advantage and increase your chances of winning.<br/><br/>Observe the action on the gambling floor to determine which casinos offer the best tables. Some casinos use an automated machine. These types of machines are called "dubs". A blackjack specialist can determine which casinos offer the best tables by observing the type and amount of action.<br/><br/>- Blackjack tables all have a house edges. The house edge is the difference in the profit that the casino keeps and the amount that the blackjack table operators take home. For example, a machine may have a small bankroll and pay out small amounts over time. You may not receive a large amount of your winnings back in a short period of time. This means that you give the house half of your winnings for every dollar you wager.<br/><br/>- It is important to remember that any online casino will tell you that you are not guaranteed to win. This is true even for the best blackjack tables. An online casino cannot make that claim if they don't have the right strategy. A basic strategy includes knowing how to choose your numbers, staying within the specified range, knowing when to stay out of a hand, and betting conservatively.<br/><br/>Once you have learned the basics of blackjack, it is very possible that you will make a lot of money from betting on blackjack tables. Online casinos are many times a lot less expensive than the actual brick and mortar casinos. Most casinos offer either free or discounted casino gaming. There are many free online blackjack games.<br/><br/>One of the advantages players have playing at online casinos is the opportunity to play against other people. This gives players an advantage over traditional gamblers. However, this is not true. All gamblers lose, even the pros.<br/><br/> <a href="https://anotepad.com/notes/8kspadec">바둑이</a> A person who plays blackjack on a regular basis can tell you that it is very hard to beat the dealer. Dealers are successful or unsuccessful because they take the time necessary to deal with the correct number of cards. The dealer knows that no matter what the numbers are it would be foolish for them to bet them all the time until they reach a ten-value hand or a single card. This means that there are a limited number of hands that a person can use to play blackjack. Before placing a betting bet, the player should know how many hands each person can play at each table.<br/><br/>A person must be able to play blackjack every hand in order to beat the dealer at all tables. A person can learn how to beat the dealer if they practice their strategy and stick with it every time they sit down at the table. Every professional gambler knows that winning consistently at online casinos takes many games. Blackjack is no different. It takes many games before a player can learn the intricacies of the game.

Word of Life spread from Hungary to Serbia in 2005 with great passion to see Serbian youth saved and discipled. Some of Word of Life Hungary staff members together with Bible Institute students started the first summer camp with more than 100 kids ready to hear the Gospel. Camp has been held in Serbia each summer then. In February 2012, Word of Life Serbia was officially incorporated as a independent organization. Darko Vika serves as the coordinator of the growing ministry. The ministry includes four weeks of summer camp and evangelistic events in churches, schools, and hospitals.
Serbia is an Eastern European nation approximately the size of North Carolina. It is located on the Balkan Peninsula in South East Europe, west of Greece and Turkey. It is one of the republics of the former Yugoslavia. For more than 50 years it was under communist regime but became democracy in 2001. The country faces high rates of poverty, corruption, divorce, and unemployment. Alcohol and drug abuse add to a sense of hopelessness among the youth. The opportunity for ministry is great in school and on the streets as Serbians are open to hear, discuss, and receive the Gospel. The state church is Russian Orthodox Church, which claims 60% of Serbians. Muslims (10%), Catholics (10%) and Protestants (5%) are also present. Less that 0.1% of Serbians claim to be born-again Christians. Serbia has the lowest number of Christian missionaries among European nations. The official language is Serbian, but the majority of people, particularly youth, speak some English.

What caused tulip mania?
According to Smithsonian.com, the Dutch learned that tulips could grow from seeds or buds that grew on the mother bulb. This variation was a catalyst causing a growing demand for rare, “broken bulb” tulips which is what ultimately led to the high market price. In 1634, tulipmania swept through Holland.
What is a tulip stock?
Tulipmania (also known as tulip mania) is a model for the general cycle of a financial bubble: investors lose track of rational expectations, psychological biases lead to a massive upswing in the price of an asset or sector, a positive-feedback cycle continues to inflate prices, investors realize that they are merely
Did tulip mania actually happen?
The speculative frenzy over tulips in 17th century Holland spawned outrageous prices for exotic flower bulbs. But accounts of the subsequent crash may be more fiction than fact. In 1636, according to an 1841 account by Scottish author Charles MacKay, the entirety of Dutch society went crazy over exotic tulips.
Why were tulips important to the Dutch?
At the beginning of the 17th century, everyone had become so besotted with tulips that people started using them as garden decoration. They soon became a major trading product in Holland and other parts of Europe. The interest for the flowers was huge and bulbs were sold for unbelievably high prices.
What is the rarest tulip?
During the Netherlands’ tulip bubble, the Semper Augustus was among the rarest and most valuable.
- A lesser broken tulip. (
- In the 20th century, the cause of the beautiful breaks was finally identified.
- Today, the Semper Augustus is long lost, but tulip lovers still grow broken tulips.
Why were tulips so expensive?
As the flowers grew in popularity, professional growers paid higher and higher prices for bulbs with the virus, and prices rose steadily. The price of tulips skyrocketed because of speculation in tulip futures among people who never saw the bulbs. Many men made and lost fortunes overnight.
Why is tulip so important?
Originally growing wild in the valleys of the Tian Shan Mountains, tulips were cultivated in Constantinople as early as 1055. By the 15th century, tulips were among the most prized flowers; becoming the symbol of the Ottomans. They are popular throughout the world, both as ornamental garden plants and as cut flowers.
Did the Dutch eat tulips?
It may sound strange, but every Dutchman knows the story: during the war, people ate tulip bulbs. The only reason for this was hunger. The Netherlands suffered a great famine in the winter of 1944-1945. Eating tulip bulbs is not something our ancestors did for fun, they did it because there was nothing else to eat.
Are tulip petals edible?
Yes, tulips are edible. The petals, if not treated with chemicals, make good garnishes. The bulbs can be poisonous — and it doesn’t sound like they’re worth the trouble.
Are tulips worth more than gold?
The Golden Age. Back in 17th century Holland, tulips were legendarily worth more than gold. At the same time, the country was at the beginning of its Golden Age, so tulips became a symbol of wealth. Their desirability exploded, in what was known as ‘ Tulip Fever’ or ‘ Tulip Mania’.
Are tulips onions?
Tulips are a member of the onion family and both the flowers and the underground bulbs are edible. During World War II, a terrible famine struck the Dutch countryside and the people of Holland actually ate the tulip bulbs rather than planting them as they had done for centuries.
How much do tulips cost?
While prices have gone down quite a bit since then, they’re still an in-demand blossom that many people love to have around Easter. At FTD, our tulip flower bouquets range from $30 to $65, and you can rest assured that you’re getting top-quality blooms every time.
What country is famous for tulips?
The Netherlands, the land of flowers The arrival of tulips in the Netherlands brought new color to the country. We’re now also known for DJs, cheese and soccer (aka football to the rest of the world), but flowers remain our top export product representing an annual revenue of 6.2 billion euros.
Where are the tulips in Netherlands?
Where are the tulip fields? Most tulip farms in Holland are located in the Noordoostpolder in the province of Flevoland. The flower bulb fields along the coast of The Hague and Leiden up to Alkmaar in the north are also a great way to enjoy these beautiful flowers.
How are tulips grown in Holland?
The tulip bulbs are planted in nets. This is a well-functioning system to easily get the tulips out of the ground when they are ready. The tulip grower scatters extra nutrients (fertilizer) on his soil in the winter.

America's journey through slavery is presented in four parts. For each era, you'll find a historical Narrative, a Resource Bank of images, documents, stories, biographies, and commentaries, and a Teacher's Guide for using the content of the Web site and television series in U.S. history courses. How did America build a new nation based on principles of liberty and equality while justifying the existence of slavery? Did American slavery and American freedom have to exist side by side in the nation? How has this history shaped current views about race? Africans in America: America's Journey through Slavery
, takes on these tough questions in a four-part documentary series which debuted in October, 1998 on PBS.
As the United States continues to struggle with issues of race and equality in modern society, this landmark television event examines the historical roots of some of today's most disturbing social problems. Africans in America executive producer Orlando Bagwell believes it's important to look back and learn from the past. "When we realize that we've spent more time as a people with slavery than without it, we can begin to see it as a centerpiece of our national identity," says Bagwell. "My hope is that Africans in America offers an opportunity for open discussion of issues that Americans have not been comfortable talking about. If we recognize our shared history--then we're on the road to reconciling racial divisiveness."
Narrated by actress Angela Bassett (How Stella Got Her Groove Back,Waiting to Exhale, What's Love Got to Do with It?), Africans in America: America's Journey through Slavery also features the voices of Andre Braugher, Avery Brooks, William Hurt, Brent Jennings, and Carl Lumbly, among others.
Filmed on location across twelve states and three continents, Africans in America is the first documentary series to examine fully the history of slavery in America. The programs use a combination of vivid first-person narratives, compelling interviews with historians and descendents, rich music, and cutting-edge scholarship. From the nation's early days as an English settlement to the start of the Civil War, each ninety-minute episode focuses on a different chapter in the historic struggle to define freedom.

The Muscular System
By the end of this section, you will be able to:
- Describe the criteria used to name skeletal muscles
- Explain how understanding the muscle names helps describe shapes, location, and actions of various muscles
The Greeks and Romans conducted the first studies done on the human body in Western culture. The educated class of subsequent societies studied Latin and Greek, and therefore the early pioneers of anatomy continued to apply Latin and Greek terminology or roots when they named the skeletal muscles. The large number of muscles in the body and unfamiliar words can make learning the names of the muscles in the body seem daunting, but understanding the etymology can help. Etymology is the study of how the root of a particular word entered a language and how the use of the word evolved over time. Taking the time to learn the root of the words is crucial to understanding the vocabulary of anatomy and physiology. When you understand the names of muscles it will help you remember where the muscles are located and what they do ([link], [link], and [link]). Pronunciation of words and terms will take a bit of time to master, but after you have some basic information; the correct names and pronunciations will become easier.
|Mnemonic Device for Latin Roots|
|Example||Latin or Greek Translation||Mnemonic Device|
|ad||to; toward||ADvance toward your goal|
|sub||under||SUBmarines move under water.|
|ductor||something that moves||A conDUCTOR makes a train move.|
|anti||against||If you are antisocial, you are against engaging in social activities.|
|epi||on top of||n/a|
|apo||to the side of||n/a|
|longissimus||longest||“Longissimus” is longer than the word “long.”|
|medius||medium||“Medius” and “medium” both begin with “med.”|
|rectus||straight||To RECTify a situation is to straighten it out.|
|multi||many||If something is MULTIcolored, it has many colors.|
|uni||one||A UNIcorn has one horn.|
|bi/di||two||If a ring is DIcast, it is made of two metals.|
|tri||three||TRIple the amount of money is three times as much.|
|quad||four||QUADruplets are four children born at one birth.|
Anatomists name the skeletal muscles according to a number of criteria, each of which describes the muscle in some way. These include naming the muscle after its shape, its size compared to other muscles in the area, its location in the body or the location of its attachments to the skeleton, how many origins it has, or its action.
The skeletal muscle’s anatomical location or its relationship to a particular bone often determines its name. For example, the frontalis muscle is located on top of the frontal bone of the skull. Similarly, the shapes of some muscles are very distinctive and the names, such as orbicularis, reflect the shape. For the buttocks, the size of the muscles influences the names: gluteus maximus (largest), gluteus medius (medium), and the gluteus minimus (smallest). Names were given to indicate length—brevis (short), longus (long)—and to identify position relative to the midline: lateralis (to the outside away from the midline), and medialis (toward the midline). The direction of the muscle fibers and fascicles are used to describe muscles relative to the midline, such as the rectus (straight) abdominis, or the oblique (at an angle) muscles of the abdomen.
Some muscle names indicate the number of muscles in a group. One example of this is the quadriceps, a group of four muscles located on the anterior (front) thigh. Other muscle names can provide information as to how many origins a particular muscle has, such as the biceps brachii. The prefix bi indicates that the muscle has two origins and tri indicates three origins.
The location of a muscle’s attachment can also appear in its name. When the name of a muscle is based on the attachments, the origin is always named first. For instance, the sternocleidomastoid muscle of the neck has a dual origin on the sternum (sterno) and clavicle (cleido), and it inserts on the mastoid process of the temporal bone. The last feature by which to name a muscle is its action. When muscles are named for the movement they produce, one can find action words in their name. Some examples are flexor (decreases the angle at the joint), extensor (increases the angle at the joint), abductor (moves the bone away from the midline), or adductor (moves the bone toward the midline).
Muscle names are based on many characteristics. The location of a muscle in the body is important. Some muscles are named based on their size and location, such as the gluteal muscles of the buttocks. Other muscle names can indicate the location in the body or bones with which the muscle is associated, such as the tibialis anterior. The shapes of some muscles are distinctive; for example, the direction of the muscle fibers is used to describe muscles of the body midline. The origin and/or insertion can also be features used to name a muscle; examples are the biceps brachii, triceps brachii, and the pectoralis major.
The location of a muscle’s insertion and origin can determine ________.
- the force of contraction
- muscle name
- the load a muscle can carry
Where is the temporalis muscle located?
- on the forehead
- in the neck
- on the side of the head
- on the chin
Which muscle name does not make sense?
- extensor digitorum
- gluteus minimus
- biceps femoris
- extensor minimus longus
Which of the following terms would be used in the name of a muscle that moves the leg away from the body?
Critical Thinking Questions
Describe the different criteria that contribute to how skeletal muscles are named.
In anatomy and physiology, many word roots are Latin or Greek. Portions, or roots, of the word give us clues about the function, shape, action, or location of a muscle.
- moves the bone away from the midline
- moves the bone toward the midline
- muscle that increases the angle at the joint
- muscle that decreases the angle at the joint
- to the outside
- to the inside

Government of the United Kingdom
09 March 1977
Declaration on ratification (translation):
Recalling that the aim of the Treaty is to prevent those States which do not possess nuclear weapons from manufacturing or acquiring such arms and other nuclear explosive devices, Switzerland ratifies the Treaty in the belief that its provisions are directed solely towards the attainment of that aim and will not have the effect of limiting the use of nuclear energy for other purposes.
Availing itself of the opportunity afforded by the deposit of its instruments of ratification, Switzerland makes the following declaration:
1. Switzerland recalls that, according to Article IV, research, production and use for peaceful purposes in the nuclear sector do not come within the scope of the prohibitions in Articles I and II. Such activities include in particular the whole field of energy production and allied operations, research and technology in the sector of future generations of nuclear fission or fusion reactors and the production of isotopes.
2. Switzerland defines the expression "source and special fissionable material", used in Article III, in accordance with the present Article XX of the Statute of the IAEA. Any modification of this interpretation requires Switzerland's formal approval. It will, furthermore, accept only those interpretations and definitions of the concepts "Equipment or material specially designed or prepared for the processing, use or production of special fissionable material", mentioned in Article III, paragraph 2, which it has expressly approved.
3. Switzerland understands that the application of the Treaty and in particular the control measures will not lead to any discrimination against Swiss industry in international competition.

Pruning is the first quality measure in the winemaker’s year. Already at the beginning of the year, yield level and stock load are determined.
Several cutting techniques are in use worldwide. For a long time the double cordon education was the predominant cutting technique in Austria.
In recent years the guyot system has become very popular. The major advantage is faster pruning in winter and easier foliage work, especially for Grüner Veltliner. This technique prevents the strong growth of the watersprout on the old wood, caused by the variety.
In the video the Guyot technique with straightener and replacement pin is used.
Other types of training systems are the Pergola education, which is practiced in Southern Tyrol, Italy. The lyra education is not widely spread, especially in Austria. However, it offers the big advantage of a higher foliage area and thus also better photosynthesis output.
The goblet education is used particularly in southern wine-growing countries such as France or Spain and Portugal, although a high input of manual labour is required.
A clean cut is the basis for a well spaced training system and subsequent green work in the summer.
Depending on the variety, location and climate, the number of buds is fixed and then the shoot is shortened. Only a healthy and adequately supplied shoot may be cut.
For optimum distribution of the juice flow, a cane is cut both on the left and on the right side.
Overhanging tendrils are removed which greatly facilitates the subsequent work of tying.
At the same time, the spare cane can be removed from the training system and placed in the middle of the vine line.
It will be chopped later on and remains in the form of organic matter in the vineyards.

As the world’s most popular content management system (CMS), WordPress is well-known for its flexibility, adaptability and functionality that goes above and beyond even its closest competitors.
Used on websites both big and small, it’s the preferred CMS for both regular blog and information-based websites, as well as eCommerce websites and other more substantial, complex digital platforms.
However, the last thing any website administrator needs is an open backdoor on their site, leaving the content inside vulnerable to cybercriminals and hackers. With many reasons to attack a website, these digital barbarians are not interested in saving your data or giving your business back. They often use automated systems and scour the internet for websites that show their vulnerability and strike instantaneously, destroying all you have worked hard to create.
This is why all users must take WordPress security seriously – or face the consequences.
Digital consultants like Myk Baxter Marketing spend a lot of time and effort recovering and saving what they can for new clients who have less than adequate security systems online. Not only is this costly and time-consuming, it is also entirely avoidable when the correct systems are in place from the start.
WordPress, with its popularity, becomes an easy target for hackers, always working to find the latest work around the most recent patch or security update. Website hosts and companies that offer ongoing maintenance and support, like Myk Baxter Marketing, need to conduct regular reviews, updates and maintenance to their clients’ sites to ensure ongoing security. Like any good maintenance job, it’s a never-ending process to keep things running smooth.
An up-to-date, properly hosted and operated WordPress website with firewalling, malware scanning, and intrusion detection is considered sufficiently secure. Luckily, WordPress offers automatic updates features and also rewards expert hackers for identifying security flaws in their systems that they can then find a fix for.
Online, the most common security risks include skimmers (information theft, such as on eCommerce stores’ user login information), spammers (using the site to send spam emails, with viruses embedded), and phishing (tactics involve attempting to convince users to share sensitive information directly by exploiting their trust in your website).
Other risks include content injection, denial of service (DoS and DDoS attacks), malicious redirects, malware downloads and ransomware.
Thankfully, WordPress is a mature and well-developed system, with a community dedicated to preventing the worst from happening. However, to prevent and mitigate WordPress security incidents, website owners should invest in the following:
It’s essential to have a paid-for web hosting environment that is consistently maintained and managed. Myk Baxter Marketing offers a range of hosting services that holistically address important issues like firewalling and patching of server software.
Web Application Firewall
A common term these days, a firewall protects your computer or website from unwanted attacks – it’s like a bouncer at a club. It also proactively blocks automated DoS and DDoS attacks.
One of the more difficult hacks to identify is malicious code that has been embedded into your site. Sometimes it may take months to activate, with precise parameters that could go unnoticed for a long time. A malware scanner actively alerts users to any security risk or out-of-place code that looks suspicious.
For more WordPress security solutions, or to receive a full website review, contact Myk Baxter Marketing who can advise you on the positive and negatives surrounding your WordPress security situation.

Unemployment Insurance and Search Effort in Chile
45 Pages Posted: 19 Sep 2012
Date Written: June 2012
Unemployment is a pressing problem in many countries in Latin America. Financial crises and increased globalization increase job turnover and therefore the risk of unemployment. To protect workers, Chile implemented an innovative unemployment insurance (UI) system. UI protects workers but creates moral hazard and self-selection issues. Using administrative data for the period 2007 to 2010, the effect of the 2009 reform of UI on job search behavior was studied. The results revealed different job search behavior between workers who use unemployment benefits and those who do not. Search efforts were found to fall as long as unemployment benefits are in place. There is strong evidence that workers who decide not to take UI despite having the right to do so have a higher probability of finding a new job.

The core idea is to move towards a polluter-pay approach, whereby environmental costs are reflected in the market prices of economic activities. By taxing polluting activities, eco-fiscal policies incentivize actions that reduce harm to the environment and generate new revenues that could be used to reduce other taxes.
The commission is composed of 12 leading mainstream economists, advised by a board that includes prominent former political leaders (Paul Martin, Jean Charest, Mike Harcourt, Preston Manning, Bob Rae); several business leaders, including Suncor Energy CEO Steve Williams, and environmentalists such as Peter Robinson, CEO of the David Suzuki Foundation.
The fact that such a prominent commission has been launched is certainly good news from a progressive perspective. It puts the key principle of polluter-pay squarely at the heart of the policy agenda, and may break a political taboo in Canada when it comes to talking about pricing carbon in particular.
That said, the first discussion paper launched by the commission shows excessive faith in the power of markets alone to solve environmental and economic problems. It merits a critical but constructive response.
The commission’s discussion paper quite appropriately recommends “incorporating environmental costs into market prices … thus spurring firms and households to find innovative and cost effective ways to reduce pollution.” It provides a number of successful examples and case studies of this concept at work. British Columbia’s carbon tax, for example, has significantly reduced greenhouse gas emissions compared to other provinces while its economy has grown at about the same rate since its introduction.
The paper, however, has a strong and questionable overall bias towards recycling the proceeds of polluter-pay taxes towards matching cuts in personal and corporate income taxes that are alleged to discourage paid work and investment. Such recycling of revenues, the paper claims, simultaneously promotes both economic and environmental gains: “Ecofiscal policies can generate revenue that creates space for governments to reduce costly taxes on employment, income and profits.”
It is noted in the report that polluter-pay revenues could be recycled into subsidies to promote reduced pollution and positive environmental change, and into public investment and supports for infrastructure and new technology. However, the assumption is that tax changes along polluter-pay principles are generally sufficient to drive innovation and change through the market — without the need for government intervention. Regulation is seen as appropriate only “when critical thresholds or extreme damage from pollution exist.” Subsidies are also frowned upon because they are seen as a more expensive means of reaching the same goal.
Summarizing the overall approach, the paper states that: “Ecofiscal policies use market forces to align economic and environmental objectives, creating incentives for conservation. They also enable reductions in other, more distortionary and growth-retarding taxes. For both reasons, ecofiscal policies are more cost-effective than other policy approaches such as direct regulations and subsidies.”
While the strong endorsement of the polluter-pay principle is welcome, the commission places excessive faith in the power of markets and unduly minimizes the key role that must be played by governments in the needed transition to a more equitable and environmentally sustainable future.
The claim that personal income tax and its progressive rate structure discourages work is not well-founded — as indicated by the very high proportion of Canadians who participate in the paid work force and by the fact that many part-time workers are seeking full-time work. While personal income tax rates are higher in Canada than in the United States, the employment rate here is also much higher. The key labour market problem in Canada today is high levels of unemployment and under-employment in insecure and low-paid jobs — not supposed disincentives to work flowing from income taxation.
Marginal tax rates on top incomes were cut significantly in the 1990s, particularly through generous tax treatment of capital gains income, and are far below their levels in the 1950s and 1960s when growth was much more rapid. Thomas Piketty and others have argued that there would be very little economic cost arising from significant increases to top personal income tax rates.
Similarly, the claim that current corporate tax rates discourage investment flies in the face of the fact that rates have been deeply cut in recent years, with no corresponding increase in corporate investment that remains below pre-recession levels. High after-tax corporate profits have been used to increase dividend payouts to shareholders and have led to the accumulation of more than $600 billion of “dead money” in corporate cash reserves.
The argument that all revenues from polluter-pay should be used to cut personal and corporate taxes is not well substantiated in the paper, and ignores the reality that governments badly need additional resources to fund already inadequate social programs and public services. This is especially true in the context of an ageing society and in those provinces still running significant deficits. The International Monetary Fund, for example, has suggested that environmental levies such as carbon taxes can be used to generate significant new revenues so as to avoid spending cuts to deal with high levels of public debt.
The principle of revenue neutrality by recycling polluter-pay revenues to tax cuts would, if implemented, undermine the fiscal base that is needed to fund major new public investments undertaken as part of an overall environmental policy. Instead, some significant part of polluter-pay revenues should be used to finance related environmental investments. In a poll conducted last year by the Broadbent Institute, a clear majority of Canadians were in favour of paying a new yearly tax if the proceeds were used to fight climate change.
Most serious attempts to develop a policy framework to deal with climate change, for example, stress the need for a combination of carbon pricing, public investment and regulation, rather than exclusive reliance on the former. See, for example, Part III of therecent 2014 assessment report of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) regarding the mitigation of climate change, and one of the final reports of the National Round Table on the Environment and the Economy (NRTEE), ‘Framing the Future’.
For example, it is clear that the reduction and eventual elimination of carbon-based sources of electricity generation involves a major shift to renewable sources of energy such as wind and solar power. While carbon pricing can play a considerable role in making coal, oil and gas less competitive in the market for sources of power, in practice the development of alternatives has involved major government investments in new technologies, as well as interim measures such as favourable feed in tariffs and direct subsidies to producers of alternative energy so as to give them an initial market.
As Mariana Mazzucato argues in her book The Entrepreneurial State, government support in Germany has allowed wind and solar to scale-up rapidly and significantly reduce costs over time. Such a major change in energy systems never would have happened without major government intervention in the market going far beyond just sending a price signal to producers and consumers. Change would have been much less rapid if it were based on carbon pricing alone.
The oilsands industry itself, in fact, was the beneficiary of strategic government investment and massive subsidies, and many now argue a similar activist approach from government is needed to make Canada a clean energy power.
To give another example, a carbon tax levied at the consumer level would raise gasoline prices and thus create an incentive to purchase more energy efficient vehicles and cut back on unnecessary travel by car. But a major transition also would require investment in public transit on a massive scale. Households are more likely to accept a carbon tax if transit alternatives are available as gasoline prices begin to rise significantly, which means that the investments must be made in advance of a large tax increase. Similarly, few consumers will buy plug-in or hydrogen-fuelled cars until there is a basic infrastructure for refuelling in place to allow for a reasonable level of mobility.
The key point, then, is that major economic and environmental transitions — such as a shift to renewable energy and to more energy-efficient forms of personal transportation — will require significant new public investments that must be financed from borrowing or from taxes, including environmental charges. Governments have an essential role to play in shaping and creating markets of the future.
The IPCC and the NRTEE reports also suggest a more significant role for subsidies and regulations than does the discussion paper of the Ecofiscal Commission. Most experts would agree that vehicle fuel efficiency requirements and energy efficiency standards in building codes have helped reduce the carbon footprint of automobiles and home heating respectively. Higher fuel prices alone will not necessarily drive significant behavioural changes — especially if the initial price change is small and consumers lack knowledge about the alternatives. The federal government’s eco-energy retrofit program was successful in prompting consumers to refurbish homes for greater energy efficiency since it gave them access to subsidized expert assessment and advice.
Environmental tax measures alone may have limited impact if the resulting revenues are directed to tax cuts, rather than to the needed subsidies and investments that support environmental transition.
One of the problems involved in following two different priorities at the same time — polluter-pay and tax cuts — is that policy-makers may avoid environmental taxes that generate only modest revenues and promote those that generate the most revenues. But is has to be borne in mind that an environmental tax that raises significant revenues is likely to be one that is having only a limited impact on pollution. Conversely, an environmentally-effective tax will generate little revenue. If we tax some specific pollutant such as carbon so heavily as to result in very little consumption, tax revenue will be negligible, whereas it will be most significant if there is little or no reduction of high levels of emissions.
Good environmental policy must involve some combination of polluter-pay, regulation, subsidies and public investment. This means that the preferred option should be for any polluter-pay revenues to be directed to the funding of new public expenditures rather than to cuts in existing taxes. This is particularly the case when it comes to carbon reduction, where there is a clear need for very rapid and major changes to energy systems, industrial processes and the built environment (houses, buildings and roads).
Turning finally to the equity dimension of ecofiscal policies, the commission paper argues that environmental tax revenues can and should be recycled in part so as to protect vulnerable populations against the impact of price increases. While this is entirely appropriate, it raises the broader question of who should be protected.
Some parts of the population obviously will be worse off in terms of their ability to consume since the commission proposes to cut corporate and not just personal taxes. Their call for a recycling of revenues to personal income tax cuts could be interpreted as support for a cut to effective tax rates across the income spectrum, coupled with some narrow targeting to the poor.
The question is whether higher-income earners should be cushioned against environmental charges to any significant degree, since resources are limited — and since those higher-income consumers account for a disproportionate amount of the consumption that drives pollution in the first place. The carbon footprint of the rich is much greater than that of the poor and the middle-class. A better general principle to adopt would be that polluter-pay taxes and any changes to other taxes should, as a combined package, diminish rather than increase income inequality. Indeed, given the high levels of public angst regarding income and wealth inequality, correctly positioning the commission’s eventual recommendations with respect to this issue will be critical.
The Ecofiscal Commission plans to launch a discussion of how to bring the principle of polluter-pay to bear on economic and environmental policy in Canada. They are right to underline that environmental taxation and charges can play a major role in moving us forward. A rational discussion of carbon pricing is particularly important if we’re to grapple with the pressing issue of climate change.
But progressives must be critical of the view that revenues from environmental taxes should be recycled almost exclusively into personal and corporate tax cuts, given the need for a major scaling-up of public investment to deal with such pressing issues as inequality and the associated need to expand public services and social programs. Effective environmental policy will require a combination of tax measures and government investments that will have to be financed.

James H. Purks III, Alpha-Alpha 1959, Delta Pi 2002, entered Chapter Eternal on February 20 at the age of 81.
Brother Purks was Initiated into the Alpha-Alpha Chapter at UNC in 1956 as a legacy, his father being a member of the Gamma Chapter at Emory University. He entered the journalism field after his graduation in 1959. He worked for several newspapers and the Associated Press, traveling the south and following the Civil Rights Movement. Several times, Brother Purks interviewed Civil Rights leaders including Martin Luther King Jr. He was perhaps most well known for his first-hand coverage of the September 15, 1963, bombing of the Sixteenth Street Baptist Church in Birmingham, which killed four young girls.
Most of Brother Purks’s notes and memorabilia from his time as a reporter now reside in various Civil Rights museums. His donations came with the hope to draw the spotlight to those who work to unite people, not divide them.
Following his career as a field reporter, Brother Purks began working in government as press secretary for the Secretary of State of Florida and US Senator Richard Stone. He served as an Assistant Press Secretary for President Jimmy Carter during his administration. Brother Purks went on to work in corporate America, which, according to his associates, he absolutely hated. He desired to serve people in need, and soon found his way into a position at United Way.
It was this desire to help those in need that led Brother Purks to his next career – as the Reverend Deacon Jim Purks of the Episcopal Church. Brother Purks was a member of the Order of Saint Luke, an Anglican healing order, and was active in their work with HIV/AIDS patients and survivors support groups, as well as serving as a Hospice chaplain. In addition, Brother Purks was involved with Habitat for Humanity in Americus, Georgia, even collaborating with the organization’s founder, Millard Fuller on two books.
It was his proximity to Americus and Georgia Southwestern State University which led him to keeping even busier, this time in his role as an advisor to the GSW Colony of Chi Phi, helping them on their way to becoming the Delta Pi Chapter in 1999. The Brothers of Delta Pi elected him an honorary member of the Chapter in 2002.
Brother Purks and his life’s work were formally celebrated by the Fraternity during the 150th Congress in San Francisco in the summer of 2015, when he received the Walter L. Cronkite, Jr. Congressional Award. The Cronkite Award, named for another famed Chi Phi journalist, is the highest honor the Fraternity can bestow upon an Alumnus. Since its establishment in 1990, only 18 Chi Phi Brothers have received this honor. During the presentation, Executive Director Michael Azarian said he looked at Brother Purks as “an example of life long commitment to the Badge, to humanitarian service, and to spiritual development. He exemplifies the purpose of [the award].”
Our condolences go out to Brother Purks’s family and friends, the Episcopal Diocese of Georgia, and the members of the Alpha-Alpha and Delta Pi Chapters.

Rupture of the pectoralis major muscle is a rare sports injury most commonly associated with the "bench press" in weight lifting. Injury may also happen due to direct trauma, most notably in rugby players. Our case aims to show how a pectoralis major rupture can be successfully repaired even after a long period of time, 5 years in the case of our patient, has passed between the trauma and the repair. In addition, this is the first described case in the literature of an inveterate rupture of the clavicular head of the pectoralis major. Our patient presented with the rarer clavicular head tear of the pectoralis major muscle. The trauma occurred during the eccentric phase of the "bench press" exercise. Orthopedic evaluations and MRI imaging were used to make the correct diagnosis. The patient underwent myorrhaphy where the upper clavicular head was reattached to the lower sternal head. A brace was prescribed for 5 weeks to keep the arm immobilized. Passive physical rehabilitation was done after the removal of the brace. Following surgical correction and physical rehabilitation, the patient made a successful recovery where he was able to achieve full ROM, was pain-free and had satisfactory esthetics. This paper aims to point out the rarity of the case in regards to the area of rupture, the clavicular head, and in particular the time interval between injury and treatment (5 years), making it, to our knowledge, the first described case of inveterate rupture of the clavicular head of the pectoralis major.

Senegal will receive a combined African Development Fund loan and grant amounting to 18.74 billion CFA francs approved by the Fund’s Board on Wednesday, April 23, 2014 in Tunis, to finance the country’s Water and Sanitation Sector Project (PSEA).
Senegal launched PSEA in 2005 as part of the Millennium Drinking Water and Sanitation Programme (PEPAM) to ensure the achievement of the Millennium Development Goals. The project comprises:
- A rural component designed to improve access to drinking water supply and sanitation for the people of the Louga, Kaffrine and Tambacounda regions, in continuation of two previous Bank operations and
- An urban component to rehabilitate and extend the Dakar and Ziguinchor sanitation networks.
The project also aims to improve the sector’s governance through:
- The establishment of an appropriate monitoring and evaluation mechanism;
- Implementation of the action plan for integrated water resources management;
- Support to privatized management of rural drinking water facilities.
Half a million residents of the Louga, Kaffrine and Tambacounda regions, as well as an estimated 250,000 people in Dakar and Ziguinchor, with women constituting 52% of the population in the regions and districts, will directly benefit from the project. The PSEA is expected to:
- Improve the drinking water supply and sanitation (DWSS) access rate;
- Reduce by at least one half, cases of malaria and diarrhoeal diseases;
- Lower health-related expenses; and
- Create approximately 5,000 temporary jobs and 500 permanent jobs, of which 2,500 for women and 300 for youth.
Two previous Bank projects have helped improve rural drinking water and sanitation access rates in the three target areas. However, wide access-rate disparities remain.
The project is in line with the objectives and thrusts of Senegal’s Economic Emergence Plan (PSE) under the National Economic and Social Development Strategy (SNDES 2013-2017), adopted on November 8, 2012.

My Car Is Shaking For No Apparent Reason
There are very few things more disturbing than experiencing your car shaking for no apparent reason. If your car is shaking while travelling around at a higher speed and for longer distances, ask yourself if these shaking episodes are something you should be concerned about and get fixed quickly.
In this article, we will explain the most common reasons why your car is shaking while driving. We will start with some signs you should keep an eye out for.
One of the leading reasons could be caused by damage or an unbalanced driveshaft or could be caused by your bearings.
There are several things that could be causing this problem but certainly not all of them. Here’s a list of some of the most common issues why your car is shaking.
Why Your Car Is Shaking While Driving
Damaged Tyres or Rims
Damage to your tyres or rims is probably one of the most common reasons why your car shakes while you are driving. It could have happened due to an accident you were in or it could be age.
Tyres must be replaced every now and then. Tyres are made from rubber causing cracking, or age has taken over. Your tyres go through wear and tear, bubbles can start forming, or the surfaces become uneven. Any of these factors are good reasons why your car is shaking.
Another reason, you possibly drove over a curb, or something similar, and it damaged the tyre or the rim.
If it has been a while since you replaced your tyres or you experienced a small accident, it is probably a good idea to take a closer look at the tyres and the wheels.
Damaged Brake Rotors
A damaged brake rotor can definitely cause vibrations or shaking when driving. The brake pads always push up against the rotors. When you apply more pressure to the brake pedal and your steering wheel starts vibrating, more than likely the problem is with the front brake rotors.
If you feel even more shaking from braking but it’s not coming from the steering wheel, your problem could be caused by the rear brake rotors wearing out.
As time goes by, the rotors and brake pads will wear out and must be replaced. In general, the car’s brake rotors should be changed out every 70,000 to 90,000 miles.
The Tyres Are Not Correctly Balanced
At some point in time, your tyres will lose their balance causing vibrations. It can be caused by the age of the tyres or the balance weights are loose, especially if you have glued weights which is actually quite common on aluminum rims.
To balance the tyres you must add a small number of weights to each wheel which is performed by a machine. If this seems to be the problem take your car to a tyre shop and get the issue solved.
The CV Axles or Driveshaft
The CV axles or the driveshaft send power from the transmission to the wheels. The axles must be properly balanced to prevent vibrations or shaking while driving.
If the axles are damaged or bent from driving over an inert object, like a curb, or caused by wear and tear, you will experience shaking. If the shaking becomes intense, it will increase as you accelerate the car but you might feel the shaking at an average constant speed as well
If you just try to inspect the axles visually, it’s probably not a good option because they are too small to clearly see with your eyes. On the other hand, if they look rusty or show signs of damage, they are probably out of balance.
Power Steering Issues
If the shaking or vibrations only surface when you turn the steering wheel, the problem could be caused by the power steering system.
You should check the power steering system for leaks and make sure the power steering fluid level is correct. Should the fluid appear black and worn, it’s time to change it out.
If you hear noises from the power steering pump while the engine is running, you may have a damaged power steering pump.
Faulty Steering Components
The steering components play an important role in the operation of your car. These components must be steady without any play or you will notice issues with your car.
Over time, these components will wear out causing play in the bushings and ball joints. This will cause the wheel alignment to become unacceptable causing vibrations to build when driving because the tyre angles will start fighting each other.
You should raise the wheels of the car and rub the wheel to the left and right. There should be no play and the wheels should be steady.
In some cases, it’s a problem with the engine, not the wheels or brakes.
If your car starts to shake while driving at a consistent speed or your car starts jerking when you accelerate, there’s a good chance it’s an issue with the engine, not the suspension.
There could be a wrong air-fuel mixture in the engine causing misfiring. Also, the misfiring can be caused by worn ignition parts. Keep in mind, that if you do have engine issues, the engine light will light up on the dashboard.
If you experience shaking while driving and the check engine light comes on, it’s definitely time to read the trouble codes from the engine control unit.
Loose or Damaged Wheel Bearings
Loose or worn wheel bearings and loose steering components are closely linked and have similar problems. The wheel bearings are mounted on the steering hub in order for the wheels to freely rotate.
If the bearings wear out, the wheel will move side to side, freely, at any speed which will cause vibrations. You might also hear a high noise while driving at faster speeds if your car has a damaged or faulty wheel bearing.
If you are not mechanically inclined, you should take your car to a mechanic and have it checked out as soon as possible. There are several reasons why your car is shaking or vibrating while driving so you need to have all possibilities ruled out and then get it fixed as soon as possible.

PEN America, a nonprofit focused on free speech and expression through the written word that was founded in 1922, has been at the forefront of the debate over censorship through decades and shifting public sentiment.
Some well-known and highly regarded books ran up on trouble during the 20th century, including works like Mark Twain’s Adventures of Huckleberry Finn. But a more recent debate around what should be present in public school libraries has turned from protecting students from questionable language and moved to shielding readers from the realities around them.
It’s fair to question how old a student should be before accessing information on some topics. But there are school districts — according to Jonathan Friedman, PEN’s director of free expression and education — that have dispensed with processes to review books in libraries.
Among other issues with this most recent spate of book challenges, Friedman sees attention focused upon authors from marginalized communities. And he joins The Best of Our Knowledge to explain how this all might impact not just free speech, but public education as a whole.

Loch Laxford is a ragged sea loch scarring deep into the coastline of north-western Sutherland, lines with rocky islands and promontories.
At its head, in the barely inhabited area known as Laxford, the loch is fed by the River Laxford, the mouth of which forms a bay, Laxford Bay, as an inlet of the loch. The loch, like the river, extends in a south-east to north-west direction, as both lie in a scar which crosses Sutherland in that direction at a geological shear.
Loch Laxford marks the boundary in the ‘Lewisian Gneiss Complex’ between a region to the south, containing Scourian high grade metamorphic rocks with undeformed Scourie dykes, and a region from here northwards of lower metamorphic grade and rocks of different appearance, deformed and metamorphosed during the Laxfordian episode: this boundary is known by many geologists as the "Laxford Front".
The name of the loch, the parish and the river is from the Old Norse Lax fjord, meaning 'Salmon inlet'.
Nature and conservation
The loch is a Special Area of Conservation, classified as a large shallow inlet and bay. It has a wide variety of marine habitats and species. Water conditions are mostly sheltered because of the reefs and islands but the outer region of the loch is very exposed. It has the most extensive shoreline of sheltered sediment in Sutherland. There are many small islands in the loch.

There are certain yoga poses that are designed to help your body release. However, that can sometimes mean you find yourself unintentionally passing gas. Although it may be embarrassing, this response is also totally normal.
Like Personal Growth on Facebook
With that in mind, there are several foods you can eat that might reduce the chances of passing gas during a class, and even better, help your body feel its best during your session. Read on for details about the top yoga-friendly foods.
Bananas are very rich in fiber, which means they help to keep you feeling full and help control the speed that sugar is released into your bloodstream. Also, keep in mind that the potassium in bananas works in conjunction with sodium to keep you hydrated, while the magnesium content in bananas helps you avoid muscle cramps.
Finally, bananas are classified as a low glycemic fruit. That means they won’t make your blood sugar spike, but they’ll keep you energized during the yoga workout.
Oats are a type of slow-digesting complex carbohydrate that will keep you from feeling hungry throughout your class. One of the easiest ways to conveniently increase your intake of oats is to eat a small serving of oatmeal before your class.
Like bananas, oats are very rich in fiber and help keep your blood sugar levels stable. Because they are a type of food that’s high in magnesium, oats support good bone health, which could mean that you’re able to continue doing yoga even into an older age.
3. Darn Good Date Balls
These handheld treats are snacks you can prepare in 10 minutes or less. They are a raw food, so there is no need to bake them. In addition, some recipes are gluten-free, vegan, and naturally sweetened.
Made from pitted dates, water, oats, coconut flakes, sunflower and sesame seeds and chopped almonds, these snacks are simple to prepare by mixing the ingredients in a food processor.
What’s more, you can eat the date balls right away, or place them into the freezer for about half an hour so that they’ll take on a firmer texture. They have a lot of protein and fiber, plus the sugar from the dates will slowly release into your system, providing sustained energy.
Even just a handful of almonds can help curb your hunger so you feel excellent during your time on the yoga mat. Aim to get a raw and unsalted variety because those are the easiest types for your body to digest.
Almonds have a good balance of healthy fat and protein to keep your energy levels up. They’re high in fiber in common with some of the other foods on this list. Also, Vitamin B2 works with the fat and protein to boost your energy. Vitamin E adds an antioxidant, too.
5. A Simple Green Smoothie
This treat, like the date balls, is good if you need to fuel up before your yoga class, but want to do so as you’re on your way to the class. One of the reasons that the word, “simple” is in the name of this healthy drink is that it doesn’t have very many ingredients.
Generally, when something has fewer ingredients, it’s easier for your body to digest. But you’ll also probably be relieved that the simplistic nature of this drink means you won’t have to spend a lot of time making it.
Combine a half-cup of coconut water to help balance your electrolytes, a small handful of spinach to support your bones, a half-cup of fresh berries that are rich in antioxidants, and a tablespoon of chia seeds to promote your energy levels.
This mixture will help you feel charged up without the possible crash that a caffeinated drink could cause. Just toss all the ingredients into a blender until the mixture is smooth, pour it into a travel mug, and you’ll be good to go.
These are all healthy foods that you can enjoy from 30 minutes to an hour before your yoga class starts. They all require little to no preparation time, so you don’t have to subscribe to the belief that it takes a lot of effort and money to eat well as a way to support your yoga poses.
Feel free to try eating some or all of these foods on a rotating schedule, and see if you notice a change in how your body feels during and after yoga. Before long, you may experience the common saying, “You are what you eat” for yourself. These foods may not make you instantly better at yoga, but they could help you feel better as you improve.

Robin Freedenfeld grew up in Verona, New Jersey. She studied at Rochester Institute of Technology, graduating in 1973 with a major focus in etching and lithography.
After college, Freedenfeld opened three printmaking workshops: the first in Boston, then Chicago, and a third in Northampton, Massachusetts. In Northampton, Freedenfeld met many artists who influenced her decision to paint. In 1984, following an exhibition of paintings with a group of friends at the Wistariahurst Museum in Holyoke, Massachusetts, an article appeared in The New England Monthly entitled "Fertile Valley," in which the author coined the term "Valley Realists" to describe the group of painters based in the Connecticut River Valley. Freedenfeld has continued to embrace this realist tradition. Although not photo realistic, her paintings are a combination of photography, imagination, and direct inspiration from life.
Freedenfeld has had 10 solo exhibitions, including a 1990 show at the Museum of Fine Arts in Springfield, MA. She has been included in many group exhibitions, including shows at The Fitchburg Museum, The Deland Museum of Art, The Butler Institute of American Art, The Wistariahurst Museum, The Art Institute of Boston, and The DeCordova Dana Museum. Freedenfeld's work is included in many permanent collections, including those of the Bank of Boston, the Chemical Bank of New York, Illinois Bell Telephone, Northwestern University, and the University of Maine. In 1990, Freedenfeld received the Massachusetts Artist Fellowship, and was featured in a video documentary, "Eye of the Realist." Freedenfeld's work has also been featured several times in American Artist Magazine.

Calling APEC “a game changer for Hawaii,” (11/19/2011) Honolulu City Council member Stanley Chang gushed that “This was Hawaii’s biggest media event since Pearl Harbor.” And to him, “good press” included headlines like “Leaders’ close call with grass skirts and coconut bras.” Or APEC agent Christopher Deedy fatally shooting local Kollin Elderts in a 3 AM altercation in a Waikīkī McDonalds.
Seriously? You can’t make this stuff up. Calling “Pearl Harbor” a “media event” trivializes the tragedy and horror of World War II.. But if APEC, and militarization in Hawai’i are only about the money, which is how these events are seen by many government and private sector leaders, then why not link APEC to Pearl Harbor? After all, “Pearl Harbor” is a myth that sells.
However, digging deeper into the comparison between Pearl Harbor and APEC, more profound similarities emerge. Both represent the policies of powerful countries vying for dominance in the world system. During WWII, the U.S. and western powers prevented Japan, a rising power from effectively and peacefully integrating into the world economic system. The rules of the game were also set by the ruling powers to reward countries that behaved in an imperialist manner, and Japan, ever the diligent student, was happy to oblige. The Pacific War was the collision of American and Japanese imperialisms vying for dominance in the Pacific.
APEC was the backdrop for President Obama to announce his new ‘pivot’ to the Asia-Pacific region. He pushed hard for the Trans-Pacific Partnership Agreement (TPPA), which would create a U.S. dominated economic bloc without China. Obama then announced that he was increasing the U.S. military troops and activities in Australia. These more aggressive moves signal a shift to a more containment-oriented strategy towards China. These moves will increase tensions with China, a rising power that the U.S. wants to contain.
In the prelude to World War II, Japan sought to ensure its economic growth by creating a Japanese-dominated economic bloc called the Greater East Asia Co-prosperity Sphere. Today, the U.S. wants to ensure its economic recovery by creating a U.S.-dominated Asian economic bloc through the Trans Pacific Partnership. As Michel Foucault observed, inverting the Clausewitzian maxim, policy and economics has become a form of war by other means. But will it turn into guns and bombs? In the Pacific, we know what the consequences would be of such a turn. Quoting Philippines anti-bases scholar/activist Herbert Docena, Joseph Gerson noted at the Moana Nui Conference, “When elephants battle or make love, it is the ants who are crushed.”

“There’s a tremendous benefit to all of our students,” said Jennifer Goldman, principal at Mountain View Elementary School.
Lightspeed’s Topcat system quickly won over teachers with improved audibility and less vocal strain, but its benefits took on greater urgency as districts began preparing for health measures to minimize transmission risks of COVID-19. Some of the most common measures, including the use of masks, social distancing and increased ventilation, have significant impact on audio quality.
Goldman and Simi Valley USD IT Director Philip Scrivano recently shared their experiences implementing Lightspeed instructional audio systems in the webcast series In Action: Instructional Audio in the Classroom during COVID and Beyond.
Within 18 months of testing, feedback from teachers was overwhelmingly supportive, making it Lightspeed’s Topcat system “the No. 1 requested item,” Scrivano said. The district added the technology to facility modernization plans, but the rollout relied on a variety of funding sources and was slated to take four to five years to implement in more than 900 classrooms across 30 school sites.
“It’s hard to get funding initially until (a system) gets a reputation,” he said.
That timeline changed once the pandemic hit. Funding for COVID-19 related measures made available through the 2020 CARES Act has allowed the district to immediately install the system universally across its schools.
“When we bring students back to the classroom, we’ll have Lightspeed in place,” Scrivano said.
Clearer audio drives attention, engagement
Scrivano, who is hearing impaired, said he had his own “aha” moment after his church got a system that connected to his hearing aids.
“Suddenly I had a personal mic to the choir and the priest and now I have to pay attention,” he joked.
Lightspeed’s Topcat system has similar impact in the classroom, Scrivano said, adding that the cumulative impact of enabling students to focus on learning, instead of struggling to hear over the course of a K-12 education represents significant educational benefits.
“When I walk into a classroom today… I have an equal ability to hear as every other student in the classroom. I pay more attention and I can relax and think a little bit more about the content versus what (the teacher) is saying.”
Goldman said the audio clarity is particularly important for students with auditory processing and attention issues often referred for special education.
“When kids have access to the full range of sounds in the classroom … it comes in loud and clear for them,” she said. “Having that teacher voice no matter where you are in the classroom, it really captures the students’ attention.”
More energy for teachers and students
Goldman said teacher adoption has been smooth, even among teachers who initially thought they wouldn’t need it.
“It saves a lot of teacher energy,” she said, adding that projecting all day to ensure your voice is loud enough is draining, and doesn’t result in clear sound.
Scrivano said teachers also report they can be more efficient, because when they answer a question for one student, the entire class can hear the answer.
“By the end of the day, they’ve talked about 50% less,” he said. “The teacher has more energy, they have more patience, but the main thing is that every student gets the benefit of that teacher.”
Goldman said the system has been particularly important for young learners trying to differentiate between soft phonetic sounds, such as in the word “sat.” Such sounds are difficult to distinguish, but even harder if a teacher happens to turn while speaking, either to write something on the board or point at something in the room, she added.
“You’re devoting so much cognitive energy just trying to hear the information,” Goldman said, adding that the pilot showed that “access to sound” meant “having full access to the sound inventory.”
Audio system helps ELL students move from silent to “on stage”
For ELL students, Goldman says the Topcat system ensures each student can hear teacher instruction clearly. But the benefits also extend to student interaction, helping ELL students move beyond the “silent phase” and become more comfortable speaking in the classroom, she said.
“When you had them one of the microphones…they get so excited and they want to talk,” Goldman said. “It’s like they’re on stage…and frankly, that plays out in all the classrooms with all the students. You give a kid a mic, forget it.”
Scrivano and Goldman said Simi Valley USD’s experience has taken on greater urgency as schools prepare to welcome students back to the classroom, and measures such as mask-wearing appear to be here to stay for the near future. That makes it even more crucial to ensure students access to clear auditory information.
“We talk about students with hearing disability, but it’s every single student in the classroom that benefits,” Scrivano said.

The article by Bondora CEO and co-founder, Partel Tomberg, originally appeared in the European Credit Research Institute Newsletter.
Marketplace lending will make universal banks obsolete by giving everyone the opportunity to provide capital directly to consumers and businesses. Every consumer and small business should have an option to find the best service provider for every type of their financial needs instead of having to buy all services as an expensive bundle.
Every product within traditional banks’ offering, from current accounts, to foreign exchange, to lending and investment management, can now be purchased from an alternative fintech vendor. Those vendors are highly focused and efficient, which makes their services cheaper, faster and easier to use for the end customer. Over the next decade, these changes will replace today’s universal banks with smaller, single product focused, service providers that are loosely coupled through different marketplaces.
This future will ensure long-term stability, as a failure within a single product (e.g. US sub-prime mortgage lending) will no longer cause a financial system collapse. There will be no “too large to fail” notion in the world where financial services are provided by a myriad of highly focused and efficient players.
A financial system that is driven by open marketplace principles will accelerate economic development by reducing financing costs for the end users, increasing credit availability and ensuring supply of credit even at the times of economic crises.
Unbundling of universal banks has same benefits, as unbundling of electricity generation, transmission and distribution. However, while unbundling of vertically integrated utilities was enforced by the regulators, unbundling of banking is enforced by the technological innovation.
Stand-alone service providers can focus solely on improving a specific product or solving a unique need without having to worry about the legacy technology, regulatory burden in un-related services and conflicting incentives from other business lines.
In addition, different lenders with a diverse risk-appetites and cost-structures will be able to finance a wider spectrum of borrowers ensuring competitive credit terms to all segments of the society.
Finally, separating services protected by deposit protection schemes from other businesses will ensure that regulators and consumers alike will have transparency over where the raised deposits are invested and taxpayers will not have to pay for excessive risk-taking any longer.
All this will make for a very stable and effective system propelling economic development and making large-scale financial crises something for the history books.
Technology will inevitably unbundle banking and unleash economic growth, but proper regulation can help this change occur faster. Regulators need to start with forcing the public sector and financial institutions to open up and share their data. The data that is necessary for credit underwriting, customer identification, managing counter-party risks, and understanding a financial service provider’s own financial health need to be open and available to everyone. Transaction ledgers need to be public, a single data exchange protocol standard shall be introduced and homogenous sets of data should be made available all across Europe.
Reducing information asymmetry between service providers, their customers and partners will slash transaction costs; and consequently will cause unbundling of the industry without regulators having to enforce such change.
We at Bondora have embraced open data in order to develop the first single marketplace connecting borrowers and lenders all across Europe through personal loans. The transaction ledger, including all loan applications, issued loans and payments, is public and available for download to anyone.
There are a number of service providers that use this data to provide our customers with added insight and advanced investing tools. We envision that there will be thousands of services built on top of our open marketplace serving both borrowers, lenders and our partners. Openness is vital to fulfil our vision of seamlessly connecting every European consumer with millions of investors to allow both sides to get the best possible deal in seconds.

In the developing world, technology is present in every part of our lives. Technological smart products have become indispensable. Brands have already adapted to this situation and entered the race. Naturally, this means a wider product range and more diverse products.
And as you know, Xiaomi doesn’t only produce phones, it has its signature on most technological products that you can think of. The product we will look at now is very useful and also very strange. Yes it’s a blackboard. You didn’t hear wrong. Xiaomi has produced a blackboard. Well, of course it can be connected to smartphones. It’s a Xiaomi product after all. Let’s take a look.
This strange tool, which came out in 2019, is actually very useful. You can use it in every area of your life. Blackboard uses an LCD screen, and the matte touch makes the screen feel like paper. The tool has an overall length of 32 cm and a width of approximately 23 cm, making it slightly larger than a tablet. but its thickness is less than 1 cm.
Which is pretty good because it isn’t too heavy and it’s pretty easy to carry around. It adopts customized liquid crystal film formula, blue-green handwriting, clear and eye-catching display, both traditional paper real writing experience and smooth experience of LCD screen.
Electromagnetic induction is used to write on panel, and there is also an electromagnetic pen that provides a realistic writing experience. Blackboard has a 128MB memory. There are two buttons for storing and deleting data, left and right buttons.
It can store up to 400 layouts of data. Bluetooth support is also available. You can sync it with your phone. It has a battery that charges in half an hour and lasts for 1 week, perfect. We have witnessed once again that Xiaomi produces products in every field.
Stay tuned to be aware of the agenda and learn new things.

How to diversify your investment portfolio in India?
Any investor’s success depends on having a well-diversified portfolio. As an individual investor, you must understand how to choose an asset allocation that best suits your investment objectives and risk tolerance. In other words, your portfolio should be able to satisfy your future capital needs while also providing you with peace of mind. By following a methodical strategy, investors can build portfolios that are aligned with their investment plans. Here are some key measures to follow if you choose to take this route.
In this article, we will discuss the best stocks to invest in mutual funds, what is the best way to invest money, what is the investment portfolio strategy and stock portfolio strategy, how you can invest in a financial portfolio, etc. Also, a detailed how to invest in mutual funds is covered in the article.
The first step in building a portfolio is to figure out your personal financial condition and aspirations. Age and the amount of time you have to grow your investments, as well as the amount of money you have to invest and your future income demands, are all important factors to consider. A 22-year-old college graduate just starting their job need a different investment strategy than a 55-year-old married couple planning to assist pay for their children’s college tuition and retire within the next decade.
Another thing to think about is your personality and risk tolerance. Are you willing to take a chance on losing some money in exchange for a higher return? Everyone wants to make a lot of money year after year, but if you can’t sleep at night when your investments lose money in the near term, those assets are probably not worth the aggravation.
Determine how your investments should be allocated across different asset classes by determining your current status, future capital needs, and risk tolerance. Greater rewards come at the cost of a higher danger of losing money (a phenomenon known as the risk/return tradeoff). You don’t want to eliminate risk; rather, you want to make it work for you and your lifestyle. For example, a young individual who will not be financially dependent on his or her investments can afford to take more risks in the pursuit of high returns. On the other hand, someone approaching retirement should concentrate on safeguarding their assets and obtaining income from them in a tax-efficient manner.
The more risk you’re willing to take, the more aggressive your portfolio will be, with more stocks and fewer bonds and other fixed-income instruments. In contrast, the lower the risk, the more conservative your portfolio will be. Here are two scenarios, one for a cautious investor and the other for a moderately active one.
The main goal of a conservative portfolio is to protect its value. The allocation shown above would yield current income from the bonds, and would also provide some long-term capital growth potential from the investment in high-quality equities.
You must distribute your capital between the relevant asset classes once you’ve chosen the right asset allocation. On the surface, this isn’t difficult: stocks are stocks, and bonds are bonds.
However, you can further divide asset classes into subclasses, each with its own set of risks and potential returns. A portfolio’s equity portion, for example, could be split between different industrial sectors and businesses with varying market capitalizations, as well as domestic and overseas equities. The bond element could be divided into short-term and long-term bonds, government debt against corporate debt, and so on.
You can choose assets and securities to fulfill your asset allocation strategy in a variety of ways (remember to assess the quality and potential of each asset you invest in):
- Stock selection – Select equities that fulfill the level of risk you wish to carry in your equity portfolio; aspects to consider include sector, market cap, and stock type. Analyze the firms using stock screeners to narrow down possible purchases, then conduct more in-depth research on each one to identify its future opportunities and hazards. This is the most time-consuming method of adding assets to your portfolio since it needs you to keep track of price changes in your holdings and keep up with business and industry news on a regular basis.
- Bond Selection – There are various elements to consider when selecting bonds, including the coupon, maturity, bond type, and credit rating, as well as the overall interest rate environment.
- Mutual Funds – Mutual funds cover a wide range of asset classes and allow you to invest in stocks and bonds that have been thoroughly examined and selected by fund managers. Fund managers, of course, demand a fee for their services, which will reduce your returns. Index funds are another option; they have lower fees since they are passively managed and mirror an established index.
- ETFs (Exchange-Traded Funds) — If you don’t want to mutual fund Investment, ETFs are an option. ETFs, or exchange-traded funds, are mutual funds that trade like stocks. They’re comparable to mutual funds in that they hold a wide portfolio of equities that are often organized by sector, market capitalization, country, and other factors. They vary, though, in that they aren’t actively managed and instead track a selected index or a basket of equities. ETFs are less expensive than mutual funds Portfolio because they are passively managed. They also provide diversification. ETFs are also useful for rounding out your portfolio because they cover a wide range of asset classes.
Once you’ve built a portfolio, you’ll need to review and rebalance it on a regular basis, as market moves may cause your initial weightings to shift. Quantitatively categorize your investments Portfolio and determine their proportion to the total to determine your portfolio’s real asset allocation.
Your current financial condition, future demands, and risk tolerance are the additional elements that are likely to change over time. If these factors change, you may need to make changes to your portfolio. You may need to cut the number of stocks you own if your risk tolerance has decreased. Or maybe you’re ready to take on more risk, and your asset allocation calls for a small percentage of your portfolio to be invested in more volatile small-cap stocks.
Determine which of your positions are overweight and which are underweight to balanced. Assume you currently have 30% of your assets in small-cap shares, despite the fact that your asset allocation implies you should only have 15% of your assets in that class. Rebalancing entails calculating how much of this position you should eliminate and redistribute to other classes.
Decide which underweighted securities you’ll buy with the profits from selling the overweighted securities after you’ve identified which securities you need to lower and by how much. Use the methods mentioned in Step 2 to select your securities.
Although your growth stock investment may have risen significantly over the past year, selling all of your equity assets to rebalance your portfolio could result in large capital gains taxes. In this instance, it may be better to just stop contributing to that asset class in the future while continuing to contribute to other asset classes. This will minimize the weighting of growth stocks in your portfolio over time while avoiding capital gains taxes.
At the same time, keep your securities’ view in mind. If you believe those same overweighted growth stocks are on the verge of collapsing, you may wish to sell despite the tax ramifications. Analyst opinions and research papers can be helpful in determining the future prospects for your investments. And tax-loss selling is a strategy you can use to lower your tax bill.
It is critical to remember to keep your diversification during the entire portfolio creation process. You must diversify within each asset class in addition to owning securities from each asset class. Ensure that your asset class holdings are distributed over a variety of subclasses and industry sectors.
As previously stated, mutual funds investment portfolios and exchange-traded funds (ETFs) provide good diversification for investors. Individual investors with relatively small sums of money can benefit from the economies of scale enjoyed by major fund managers and institutional investors thanks to these investment vehicles.

Colorectal Cancer and Young Adults: Is There Cause for Concern?
You may assume that colorectal cancer is a disease that only impacts older people. However, this type of cancer is becoming more common in young adults ages 30-45. While it is very serious, there is much hope for colorectal cancer patients especially if it’s caught early. Colorectal cancer treatments have improved greatly in recent years, and early diagnosis has improved the success rates. That's why younger people need to know what early symptoms are and get proper treatment as soon as possible if they notice anything out of the ordinary.
To help you stay informed, let's discuss what colorectal cancer is, common symptoms, and how you can reduce your risk.
What is Colorectal Cancer?
Cancer of the colon or rectum is referred to as colorectal cancer. It affects both men and women and is the third most common type of cancer in the United States. Colorectal cancer usually starts as a small growth, known as a polyp, in the lining of the rectum or colon. Often, polyps are not cancerous, but cancer can develop from these growths.
Common Symptoms of Colorectal Cancer
While some people have no symptoms, these are the most common signs to watch for:
- Bloody or black stools
- Bleeding from the rectum
- Sudden weight loss
- Cramping in the lower stomach, gas, or pain
- Bowel doesn't feel completely emptied after having a bowel movement
- Unexplained tiredness
- Skinny/thin feces
- Frequent constipation or diarrhea
Many of these symptoms can also be linked to other health conditions. But if you notice any of these symptoms or other sudden changes in your health, contact your doctor right away.
Why Are More Young People Being Diagnosed with Colorectal Cancer?
The American Cancer Society states that people born after 1990 have double the risk of colon cancer and four times the risk of rectal cancer than people born in 1950 (the year with the lowest reported risk).
Unfortunately, the reason for the significant increase in risk is not known. Some researchers believe there may be a genetic link causing the increased risk. Other factors may be causing the increase, including:
- Consumption of more processed foods
- Low-fiber, high-fat diet
- Lack of exercise
- Drinking alcohol
- Higher obesity rates
- Higher diabetes rates
- Crohn's disease or ulcerative colitis
Significant lifestyle changes since 1950 regarding diet and exercise may be related to the increase of colorectal cancer diagnosis rates. It's also important to note that researchers are gaining more insight into the specifics of colorectal cancer in young people. For example, cancer in young adults is usually found in the rectum or on the left side of the colon lining. Research like this is helping doctors improve diagnosis and treatments.
Screening and Colorectal Cancer Risk Reduction
While it may not be possible to prevent colorectal cancer, there are some things you can do to lower your risk. Here are a few suggestions to keep in mind:
- Participate in regular exercise
- Maintain a healthy weight
- Avoid smoking
- Eat a balanced diet
- Avoid processed foods
- Drink alcohol in moderation
Colorectal cancer screenings are an essential way to lower your risk. Typically, these screenings start at the age of 45. However, your doctor may suggest this screening sooner if you're in a high-risk category. While there are different forms of screening,the first step is the initial stool test that is used to identify DNA changes in the cells of the stool sample. If abnormal DNA is detected, then you’ll move forward with a colonoscopy.
What to Do If You Have Colorectal Cancer Symptoms
If you are at risk or show early signs and symptoms of colorectal cancer, it's important to talk to your primary care doctor immediately. If testing shows that you have cancer, your doctor will refer you to a cancer specialist, also known as an oncologist. The oncologist will do additional testing and identify the best treatment plan for you. Remember, finding it early is key! So don’t wait if you notice something unusual.
If you're located in the Southern Chicago area, Affiliated Oncologists’ colorectal cancer specialists are available to review your tests, discuss your diagnosis and create a customized treatment plan for you.
We are committed to providing the best care for our patients and ensuring that you have the most updated information regarding your diagnosis.

Landscape Report: Mobile Money, Humanitarian Cash Transfers and Displaced Populations
Over the past decade, natural disasters and complex emergencies have led to a sharp increase in the need for humanitarian assistance. By the end of 2015, an estimated 65.3 million people were forcibly displaced globally, due to conflict and persecution. That same year, natural disasters caused the internal displacement of a further 19.2 million people. Displaced populations are predominantly located in developing countries, in urban areas, where mobile money services may be more widespread than banks or other formal financial institutions.
GSMA data shows that at least 19 markets have more mobile money accounts than bank accounts and 37 countries have ten times as many registered mobile money agents as they have bank branches. At the same time, displaced people are increasingly connected, living in places covered by mobile networks and with mobile phone ownership rates that rival those of the world’s overall population.

Since its founding in 1865, Zenith has been world renowned for both exquisite design and technological innovation. While their history is marked by many moments of horological inspiration, three truly unique things stand out.
The importance of the El Primero movement
It’s been said that history is written by the victors, and that’s certainly true when it comes to the races between inventors for technological dominance—Ford vs. Ferrari, Tesla vs. Edison, Edison vs. Westinghouse (Edison’s win-at-all-costs mentality is the stuff of legends). In the world of watchmaking, there’s a race just as important and just as revolutionary—the race to develop the first ever integrated automatic chronograph movement.
The year was 1969. Several of the world’s most prominent watch manufacturers including Zenith were in hot competition to introduce the first automatic chronograph, including Seiko, Heuer, Hamilton, and Breitling. The first across the finish line, of course, was Zenith, with the legendary El Primero movement. The El Primero remains to this day the world’s most accurate series-made caliber. It beats at an astonishing, ultra-high frequency of 36,000 vibrations per hour, much higher than the standard rate, providing unrivaled precision.
Zenith’s unparalleled, record-setting awards
If one measure of a company’s success is the number of awards they have won, then Zenith’s success is unmatched in the watch industry. Their first award for precision in watchmaking, was won in 1902.
Since then, Zenith has won an astounding 2,333 awards for precision chronometric performance in categories that run the gamut from wrist watches to pocket watches to on-board watches used in all manner of applications.
For a company that’s developed 600 movement variations, and filed 300 patents for their technological innovations, this should come as no surprise. While Zenith’s team of designers and engineers is justly proud of their achievements, they have never rested on their laurels. In fact, at the 2017 Grand Prix d’Horlogerie de Genéve Awards, the most prestigious of all watchmaking competitions, Zenith was awarded the Innovation Prize for their Defy Lab, the world’s most accurate mechanical watch. As a company at the forefront of Swiss watchmaking, Zenith will never stop innovating.
Durability on another level
10,000 feet above sea level, to be precise. All luxury watches are stress tested for durability, for their ability to keep accurate time under extreme conditions. With the first El Primero watches, Zenith took stress testing to new heights. Zenith engineers attached the watch, with the new El Primero caliber, to the landing gear of a Boeing 707, which then crossed the Atlantic from Paris to New York. The plane reached a height of 10,000 feet, and endured outside temperatures of -62° Celsius (that’s -79.6° Fahrenheit). The watch survived – none the worse for wear – keeping perfect time.
Not impressive enough? In 2012 an extreme skydiver named Felix Baumgartner set the world record for longest free-fall, jumping from a high-altitude capsule at an altitude of 38,949.4 meters (127,786.74 feet). Over the next 4 minutes and 19 seconds, Baumgartner fell so fast that he broke the sound barrier. Throughout the extreme stunt, the Austrian daredevil sported a Zenith El Primero Statos Flyback strapped to his wrist. Once again, the watch survived without a scratch. Zenith proved once again, a reputation for out of this world durability.

Chancellor Rishi Sunak has delivered his summer statement to the commons, outlining the government's plans to get UK finances back on a sustainable footing after the impact of Covid-19.
Although employment took centre stage, the chancellor was quick to mention the impact that the pandemic has had on property and housing. Firstly, a new £2bn home insulation scheme, the Green Homes Grant. Under the new scheme, which will be available for homeowners and landlords alike, the government will pay at least two-thirds of the cost of home improvements that save energy.
Mary-Anne Bowring, group managing director at Ringley and creator of automated lettings platform, PlanetRent comments: “This is a vital policy that will make homes greener and cheaper to run and so today's vouchers for home insulation are welcome news.
“The UK’s housing stock is some of the oldest in Europe and this is not just bad for the environment but bad for our health too, with too many properties suffering from problems with damp and cold.
“It is important the government's voucher scheme covers renters, especially as homes in the private rented sector tend to be older.
“Additional financial support to retrofit outdated homes, stamp duty cuts across the board - including landlords - and government pledge to remove all dangerous cladding no matter what the cost would create hundreds if not thousands of jobs, kickstart the housing market and raise the quality of our homes.”

Oral Cancer: Risks, Symptoms, and Screening
Oral cancer refers to cancers of the throat and mouth that appear as a growth or sore that does not heal. It can affect the throat, lips, tongue, the floor of the mouth, cheeks, and sinuses.
According to the American Cancer Society (ACS), oral cancer is twice as likely in men than in women. The highest risk of getting the disease is for men over 50. However, oral cancer can be fatal if it is not treated promptly, regardless of age or gender.
Oral Cancer Symptoms
Some symptoms of oral cancer include:
Ear or mouth pains
Lip or mouth sores that won’t heal
Lump in the cheeks and neck
Red or white spots around the mouth
Thickening or swelling
Extreme weight loss
Difficulty in eating
According to centurydental.org, oral cancer symptoms are painful but often noticed. Oral cancer in its earlier stages is curable; catching its early signs and diagnosing it is crucial.
Who Is at Risk of Oral Cancer
Mouth cancer is more common in those with a family history of cancer. The following factors also increase your risk of developing oral cancer:
Tobacco, cigarettes, and pipe smoking
A previous oral cancer diagnosis
Too much sun exposure
Sometimes, the human papillomavirus (HPV) can cause oral cancers, and you can pass it to others if you’re unaware. Dentists can detect them during a routine dental checkup.
What Is Oral Cancer Screening?
An oral cancer screening exam is a way to check for signs and symptoms of cancer in your mouth. A doctor or can perform oral cancer screenings.
Some of the areas they will screen for oral cancer include:
Line your cheeks with a lining
Floor and roof of the mouth
Oral cancer screenings don’t need any preparation; it’s quick, easy, and often performed during regular dental visits.
What Happens During an Oral Cancer Screening ?
Your dentist or doctor will examine your mouth and throat for any lesions and abnormalities like thick, white patches known as leukoplakia or abnormal red areas called erythroplakia.
The exam usually takes less than five minutes. In some cases, your dentist or doctor may use special dyes and light to detect signs of oral cancer. These tests include:
Exfoliative cytology – Your dentist will take some cells from your mouth using a toothbrush, cotton, or wooden stick. Then they look under the microscope to see if any of the cells they find are abnormal.
Fluorescence staining – This test involves using a fluorescent mouth rinse and a special light shone on lesions to identify tissue abnormalities.
Toluidine blue stain – Mouth lesions are coated with Toluidine blue dye to detect areas susceptible to becoming cancerous.
What Happens After an Oral Cancer Screening?
Oral cancer screening is used to detect signs but not to diagnose cancer. Aside from follow-up visits to check if the abnormal areas are still there, your doctor or dentist may recommend some of the following tests to diagnose oral cancer:
The only way to confirm a cancer diagnosis is through biopsies, where a small amount of tissue or cells are taken and examined under a microscope by a pathologist. They specialize in diagnosing diseases by interpreting laboratory tests.
A pathologist can use samples taken during a biopsy for HPV testing. This test helps determine the cancer stage and treatments that are most likely to work.
Barium Swallow or Modified Barium Swallow
A barium swallow helps medical experts check for swallowing difficulties. In a traditional barium swallow, patients are asked to swallow liquid barium during an X-ray exam, allowing doctors to see if the liquid will pass easily to the stomach and find changes in your mouth and throat’s structure. On the other hand, a modified barium swallow uses a moving X-ray to evaluate swallowing.
Computed Tomography (CT) Scan
A CT scan allows medical experts to see the body’s insides from different angles. They use an X-ray to take different images and combine them using a computer to create a detailed, 3D image that can show tumors and other abnormalities. Your doctor can use these images to determine the tumor’s size and whether it has spread to the lymph nodes or lower jawbone. It also helps them decide if surgery will be necessary.
A contrast medium that can increase contrast is injected into a patient’s vein or swallowed as a liquid or pill to enhance the scan’s details.
Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI)
An MRI machine uses magnetic fields to create a body’s detailed image. Like a CT scan, medical experts can use MRI used to measure a tumor’s size, and it involves using a contrast medium to get more detailed scans.
Oral cancer is a fatal disease that is more curable when detected early through an oral cancer screening. A dentist or doctor will examine your entire mouth and throat. If they find anything suspicious, they may recommend other tests for a more definitive diagnosis. Some tests include a barium swallow, CT scans, MRI scans, HPV testing, and biopsy.

The vertical movement of an island off the coast of central Chile after two great earthquakes in 1835 and 2010, and during the 175 years in between, is reported in a study published online in Nature Geoscience. The data used include records taken in 1835 by Robert FitzRoy, the captain of the HMS Beagle during Charles Darwin's journey, and suggest that 10 to 20% of earthquake-induced uplift could be permanent.
While two tectonic plates are locked together, strain accumulates over a period of decades or centuries. This accumulated strain is suddenly released when the plates slip past each other in an earthquake. Earth’s surface is thought to rise and fall cyclically in the course of this cycle.
Robert Wesson and colleagues analysed nautical surveys from 1804, 1835 and 1886 together with modern surveys and GPS data to quantify the vertical movement of Isla Santa Maria during the complete cycle between the two earthquakes. The authors found that the island was uplifted by 2.4 m to 3 m following the 1835 earthquake and by 1.8 m following the 2010 earthquake, but it subsided by only 1.4 m in the intervening period. They also note that subsidence between the two quakes unexpectedly did not occur at a uniform rate.
In an accompanying News & Views, Aron Meltzner writes that the approach of the authors could be used to "quantify the amount of slip waiting to occur on a fault […], a potentially useful tool for anticipating impending large earthquakes.”

U.S. AGENCY FOR INTERNATIONAL DEVELOPMENT
BUREAU FOR DEMOCRACY, CONFLICT, AND HUMANITARIAN ASSISTANCE (DCHA)
OFFICE OF U.S. FOREIGN DISASTER ASSISTANCE (OFDA)
Note: The last situation report was dated December 16, 2002
Insecurity, the lack of infrastructure, and limited access to vulnerable populations continue to hinder humanitarian assistance in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC). Following an outbreak of violence in August 1998, the Lusaka Peace Accords were signed in July-August 1999. The U.N. Observer Mission in the DRC (MONUC) began in November 1999. MONUC observers monitor this cease-fire agreement, and investigate cease-fire violations. Joseph Kabila became President of the DRC on January 26, 2001, following the death of his father, Laurent-Desire Kabila. On December 4, 2002, the U.N. Security Council authorized the expansion of MONUC from 5,537 to 8,700 international military personnel.
Since the Lusaka Peace Accords were signed, the government of the DRC (GDRC) and key political and armed opposition groups have been discussing peace implementation through the Inter-Congolese Dialogue (ICD), hosted in South Africa. On April 18, 2002, President Kabila and the Uganda-backed opposition group Movement for the Liberation of the Congo (MLC) signed a partial agreement that designated Kabila as interim President and the MLC's Jean-Pierre Bemba as interim Prime Minister. The Rwanda-backed Congolese Democratic Assembly based in Goma, North Kivu Province (RCD-G), and a few other opposition groups did not sign the agreement. On July 30, 2002, President Kagame of Rwanda and President Kabila signed a peace agreement, with the Government of Rwanda (GOR) pledging to withdraw all Rwandan forces from the DRC, and the GDRC agreeing to assist in the disarming of ex-Rwandan Armed Forces (ex-FAR) and Hutu militia Interahamwe forces in the DRC. On September 6, 2002, the Government of Uganda (GOU) and the GDRC signed an agreement on the withdrawal of Ugandan forces and the establishment of the Ituri Pacification Commission (IPC) to focus on resolving conflict in the Ituri District of Orientale Province. On April 2, 2003, the parties to the ICD signed an inclusive transitional agreement. On April 4, 2003, President Kabila promulgated the transitional constitution.
Most foreign troops (from Angola, Namibia, Rwanda, Uganda, and Zimbabwe) withdrew from the DRC during 2002. Uganda redeployed several thousand troops to the troubled Ituri District in March 2003. Angola, Namibia, and Zimbabwe sent troops in 1998 to support the GDRC, which controls the western part of the country. The MLC controls most of Equateur Province and some of Orientale Province in the north. The RCD-G, with ties to the Union for Congolese Patriots (UPC), controls much of North and South Kivu, Maniema, Orientale, and Katanga Provinces. In the eastern provinces of the country (northern Katanga, Maniema, North and South Kivu), fighting has intensified involving opposition groups, RCD-G, ex-FAR/Interahamwe, and Mai-Mai fighters.
Insecurity in rural and urban areas has restricted access to agricultural land, decreasing harvest yields and contributing to the food security crisis. Lack of access to traditional markets has discouraged farming. Poverty is widespread and the health care system has eroded due to a lack of resources and continuous looting by different parties in the conflict. Although President Kabila has attempted to address the economic difficulties, the economy faces numerous constraints, and insecurity has resulted in limited private sector activities. Approximately 20 million people in the DRC remain vulnerable due to chronic insecurity and conflict.

Inter-Congolese Dialogue (ICD) Agreements.
On December 17, 2002, in Pretoria, South Africa, the GDRC, primary political opposition groups, and civil society representatives signed an all-inclusive power-sharing deal to establish a government of national unity. Under the agreement, President Kabila will remain in office for a period of approximately two years, to be followed by democratic elections. Members of the RCD-G, the MLC, and other opposition groups will share four vice presidential positions under President Kabila, as well as other key government posts.
The second round of the ICD concluded on March 6, 2003, in Pretoria, with the parties agreeing on a program to draft a constitution, to create an integrated army, and to implement security measures during the future transitional government. The final round of the ICD concluded on April 2, 2003 in Sun City, South Africa, where the parties ratified the previous agreements. However, ICD parties have yet to reach a consensus on the command structure of the integrated army.
Increasing Numbers of Displaced in the DRC.
The U.N. Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (UN OCHA) estimates that fighting, looting, and targeted violence against civilians have created more than 2.7 million displaced people in the DRC, particularly in North Kivu and Orientale Provinces where increased fighting has displaced 500,000 people since August 2002. The number of IDPs rose by 700,000 since January 2002.
During late 2002, fighting between Mai-Mai militia and Rwanda-backed RCD-G forced more than 30,000 people to flee from the western bank of the Lomami River in Kasai Orientale Province, according to the NGO Catholic Relief Services. The Lomami River separates the central provinces of Kasai Orientale and Maniema.
From January 26 through February 8, 2003, a U.N. inter-agency mission visited the DRC to evaluate the particular needs of displaced populations. The geographic size of the DRC, minimal infrastructure, and persistent insecurity limit humanitarian access, compounding the crisis.
Fighting Causes Displacement to Other Countries.
According to the U.N. High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR), the following numbers of Congolese refugees are currently located in other countries: 140,300 in Tanzania, 82,300 in the Republic of Congo, 56,100 in Zambia, 39,700 in Burundi, 28,300 in Rwanda, 20,000 in Uganda, 12,600 in Angola, and 10,200 in the Central African Republic.
Local GDRC authorities reported on January 21, 2003 that more than 15,000 people fled fighting in the Mahagi area (located north of Bunia) in northeastern DRC and temporarily relocated across the border inside Uganda's Nebbi District. On February 20, 2003, the International Federation of the Red Cross and Red Crescent (IFRC) launched an appeal to provide emergency non-food items to 15,000 refugees in Nebbi for a three month period.
Ugandan health authorities in mid- February reported that a meningitis outbreak was under control in the Nebbi District. An estimated 290 Ugandans contracted the disease, which resulted in 35 deaths.
Renewed fighting in South Kivu Province between Mai-Mai militia and RCD-G fighters in late December 2002 and early January 2003 prompted an influx of an estimated 8,500 Congolese refugees into Burundi. Between December 26, 2002 and January 8, 2003 UNHCR authorities in Burundi had registered 7,386 refugees in Cibitoke Province and 1,200 in Bujumbura Rural Province.
Insecurity Persists in Eastern DRC.
On December 30, 2002, the leaders of three, armed opposition groups, MLC, Congolese Democratic Assembly-National (RCD-N), and Congolese Democratic Assembly-Kisangani-Liberation Movement (RCD-K-ML) signed a cease-fire agreement in Gbadolite, Equateur Province, where the MLC is based. Humanitarian organizations hoped that the agreement would facilitate improved access to vulnerable populations in eastern DRC, however, fighting has continued during recent months.
On January 17, 2003, unidentified gunmen ambushed a clearly marked Fizi Red Cross vehicle near Swima town near Uvira. The vehicle was transporting six patients from Baraka: one patient died, and four Red Cross volunteers and the driver suffered bullet wounds. Many international NGOs suspended their humanitarian assistance activities near Baraka and Fizi in 2002 due to continuing insecurity.
Violence Prevails in Ituri District, Orientale Province.
MONUC remains concerned about ongoing military tension in northeastern DRC's Ituri District. An unidentified unit fired on the helicopter carrying the MONUC force commander 15 minutes after it departed Bunia on February 24, 2003. No one was injured, although a bullet penetrated the cockpit. However, the incident prompted MONUC to temporarily suspend all flights to Bunia.
Fighting between the UPC and government soldiers forced more than 2,000 people to flee the area between Bunia and the Ugandan border in late February. On March 2, 2003, the UPC signed an accord with the UPDF operating in eastern DRC, in an attempt to ease tensions between the two groups. Despite the accord, on March 6, 2003, after a UPC attack, the Ugandan People's Defense Force (UPDF) soldiers and ethnic Ngiti and Lendu militias clashed with the primarily Hema UPC forces in Bunia, prompting UPC fighters to flee. The UPDF subsequently captured the Fataki and Bule airports, which had been UPC strongholds. International humanitarian sources report that more than 400 UPC members have surrendered A representative in the field from USAID/OFDA traveled to Bunia on March 17, 2003 to assess the effects on the humanitarian and security situation of the recent change in administrative control. The representative reported that the UPDF is now firmly in control of Bunia, Nioki and Mahagi to the north, Mangbwalu to the northwest, Irumu to the southwest, and Kasenyi to the east. The UPDF's stabilizing effect in these towns has allowed the humanitarian community to assist additional vulnerable populations, some of which had remained inaccessible for security reasons for as long as four years.
Despite the improved security situation and humanitarian access, insecurity caused by fighting among militia factions continues outside of UPDF controlled areas. Four humanitarian workers for the Italian NGO COOPI were abducted south of Bunia on March 15, 2003 by an Ngiti militia, but were returned safely on March 17, 2003. In the Bunia area, humanitarian sources also report at least six deaths and several injuries from landmines. MONUC explosives engineers destroyed 670 kg of landmines on April 5, 2003 in Rwampara, seven km east of Bunia. According to MONUC, the engineers destroyed 1,135 antipersonnel mines, and 57 antitank mines.
Cease-fire Talks Continue in Ituri District.
On March 18, 2003, MONUC facilitated the signing of a cease-fire among delegates of the GOU and the GDRC, and various political and armed opposition groups key groups in Ituri. Terms of the agreement include the recognition of human rights, the banning of child soldiers, and a reaffirmation of accords signed in December 2002, that established the demilitarized status of Komanda and Mambasa in Ituri. The UPC did not sign the agreement.
On April 4, 2003 the Ituri Pacification Committee (IPC) was inaugurated in Bunia. The IPC comprises representatives of MONUC, the GDRC, the GOU, the Government of Angola, and civil society, political and military parties to the conflict. As envisioned by the GDRC and the GOU, the IPC will create a new administrative authority for Ituri, and provide for the withdrawal of Ugandan forces. The UPC is not formally taking part in the IPC, but has sent an observer to the discussions.
Massacre in Ituri District.
Although the numbers remain unverified, between 200 to 1000 people were summarily executed in massacres in Drodro, and fourteen surrounding towns, on April 3, 2003. MONUC confirmed the massacre after arriving on April 5, 2003 to investigate the attacks, along with UPDF and ethnic Hema representatives. The MONUC team visited 49 victims, suffering from machete and bullet wounds, in a local hospital. MONUC observers were also shown 20 mass graves, which local leaders said contained 250 bodies. According to witnesses, the assailants, dressed in both military and civilian clothes, attacked from five directions. Some of the assailants reportedly spoke the Lendu language, and some spoke Swahili. The ethnic Hema and ethnic Lendu have traditionally fought over control of resources and land in the Ituri District, however clashes in recent years have escalated. MONUC continues to investigate these attacks.
On April 7, 2003, MONUC flew 200 kg of medicine and plastic sheeting to the survivors of the attacks in Drodro. On April 8, 2003, MONUC delivered 100 kits of household items, including blankets, and cooking utensils, that were donated by UNICEF and COOPI.
Human Rights Violations Documented by the U.N.
On December 31, 2002, a MONUC team visited Mambasa and surrounding areas, to investigate alleged reports of human rights violations perpetrated by MLC members. The MONUC team interviewed more than 350 people, whose accounts indicated a pattern of looting, killing, and violence by MLC and RCD-N members against civilians, including members of the pygmy and Nande ethnic groups. MONUC reported 136 cases of arbitrary executions, 71 cases of rape, 100 cases of forced disappearances, and 96 cases of missing relatives. MONUC confirmed that opposition groups had been engaging in acts of cannibalism. On February 13, 2003, the U.N. High Commissioner for Human Rights (UNHCHR) reported MONUC's findings to the U.N. Security Council. In response to the report, the GDRC requested that the U.N. set up an international criminal court for the DRC. The UNHCHR reported in a similar fashion following the May 2002 killings and human rights abuses committed by RCD-G in Kisangani.
Food Insecurity Continues in Eastern DRC.
In late February 2003, the U.N. World Food Program (WFP) reported that it currently targets more than 1.5 million of the 2.7 million IDPs throughout the country. Due to increasing needs associated with continuing fighting and curtailed access to agricultural lands, WFP has airlifted emergency food to vulnerable IDPs three times in 2003.
Between January and February 2003, WFP airlifted more than 890 MT of maize flour, pulses, beans, and vegetable oil to 107,000 IDPs in Bunia, where the ongoing conflict limited humanitarian access to vulnerable populations.
On February 21, 2003, WFP began its second emergency food airlift in 2003 to assist more than 6,700 IDPs in Kindu, Maniema Province, suffering from food insecurity. WFP distributed more than 200 MT of food, and WFP's implementing partner, MERLIN, airlifted nearly 180 MT of food to meet the needs of 5,000 malnourished children, pregnant and lactating mothers for three months. ICRC also distributed 300 MT of emergency food and seeds to 10,000 families in Kindu in mid-February. The estimated 190,000 IDPs and residents have been effectively restricted from accessing their fields due to a security perimeter created around Kindu town.
On February 22, 2003, WFP airlifted 936 MT of food to the Kabalo, Kongolo, and Nyunzu Regions of Katanga Province to support 30,000 beneficiaries for four months. On March 7, 2003, a thirteen-ship convoy arrived in Ankoro, Katanga Province, with 626 MT of maize, oil, and salt rations provided by WFP. World Vision International (WVI) reported that the Ankoro delivery was the largest delivery of food aid ever shipped in the DRC. The food aid left Lubumbashi, about 600 km from Ankoro, by train, and was later loaded onto the ships for the voyage down the Congo River to Ankoro. WVI is distributing the food to an estimated 67,000 beneficiaries in Eastern DRC, including 44,000 IDPs.
Humanitarian Assistance in the Health Sector.
According to the NGO Medair, the first phase of a measles vaccination campaign took place during January 23 to January 30, 2003 and vaccinated more than 100,000 children in Bunia and surrounding areas. A second campaign began on February 19, 2003 and targeted Bunia as well as Lingo, Lengabo, Mwanga, Marabo, and Badiya in Ituri District in order to reach 20,000 additional children. On March 6, 2003, Medecins Sans Frontieres (MSF) launched a measles campaign to vaccinate nearly 50,000 children in Katanga Province's Kamina Lenge Region. MSF's ongoing measles vaccination campaign targets more than 250,000 children in Katanga, Bandundu, Equateur, and Orientale Provinces.
According to MSF, during late 2002, a cholera epidemic spread from Katanga Province to Kasai Orientale Province. The IFRC reported that 202 people died from cholera between September 2002 and January 2003 in Kasai Orientale's densely populated Mbuji-Mayi town, and 3,139 people had been hospitalized. On February 24, 2003, MSF reported that the number of cholera patients in Mbuji-Mayi had decreased slightly, but that the number of cases outside of the town rose during the second half of February. As of February 21, 2003, MSF had treated more than 3,800 people in Kasai Orientale Province, and reported 209 deaths. Since January 2003, local health authorities and MSF have also reported an increase in cholera rates in Katanga Province, treating an estimated one hundred patients per week in Lubumbashi town, and three hundred patients per week in the entire province.
On February 6, 2003, the DRC Minister of Health (MOH) announced plans to open 30 healthcare centers to respond to an influenza epidemic in northern Equateur Province. The MOH reports that the epidemic has killed more than 1,000 people in Equateur since November 2002. According to the World Health Organization, in the capital, Kinshasa, fourteen medical institutions reported 3,963 influenza cases including 126 deaths, and 33 health zones reported 27,211 cases including 170 deaths during December 2002 and January 2003. The severely deteriorated health sector, as well as inconsistent access by many residents to sufficient water and sanitation resources, has compounded the prevalence of disease.
Follow-up Report on the Exploitation of Resources.
On February 22, 2003, after 18 months of investigative work, the Belgian Senate Commission determined that no Belgian or non-Belgian companies trading natural resources in the DRC committed illegal acts. The commission began its work in November 2001 following the release of the 2001 report of the U.N. Panel on the Illegal Exploitation of Natural Resources and Other Forms of Wealth in the DRC. The report implicated a number of companies in the illegal trade in coltan, diamonds, gold, and wood, among other items. On February 27, 2003, the U.N. Secretary General re-appointed an expert panel on the illegal exploitation of natural resources in the DRC. The expert panel convened at U.N. Headquarters in New York on March 14, 2003 to prepare for upcoming meetings that will be held in Nairobi, Kenya.
Violent Storm Hits Bandundu Province.
On February 2, 2003, a violent storm struck six villages in the Yumbi District of Bandundu Province. On February 10, 2003, UN OCHA reported 17 deaths, 300 injuries, 1,664 buildings destroyed, and 1,700 homeless families. The DRC Minister of Health visited Yumbi on a multi-organizational assessment mission, and delivered emergency material and medicine, with the support of U.N. agencies and the DRC Red Cross.
Seismic Activity Increases.
On February 28, 2003, Goma Volcano Observatory scientists reported rapidly increasing seismic activity under Mount Nyamuragira in eastern DRC. On March 11, 2003, two villages temporarily evacuated because of loud rumblings from the volcano and a spasm of small earthquakes that lasted several hours. Scientists continue to monitor changes in seismic activity and are attempting to forecast an eruption, which could occur within weeks or a few months. Although Mount Nyamuragira is Africa's most active volcano, it is located in a sparsely habited area, and lava flows from an eruption could not reach Goma. A 2001 eruption of Mount Nyamuragira caused no casualties; however, clouds of volcanic gasses and ash from previous eruptions have killed crops and cattle in surrounding areas. When nearby Mount Nyiragongo erupted in January 2001, lava flows forced more than 350,000 people to flee Goma.
On March 20, 2003, a magnitude 5.2 earthquake with a depth of 10 kilometers struck western Rwanda, and was felt in the DRC. The Goma Volcano Observatory in eastern DRC reported that the earthquake's epicenter was in the southern part of Lake Kivu. No casualties were reported.
In FY 2003, USAID/OFDA provided $180,000 to UN OCHA for modern sensing equipment that will reduce the time needed to collect, analyze, and inform the public about seismic activity in the DRC.
DRC Mortality Study Released.
A mortality study released on April 8, 2003 by the International Rescue Committee (IRC) found that since conflict in the DRC broke out in August 1998, at least 3.3 million people died in excess of what normally would be expected. According to the study, an estimated 30,000 deaths occur each month due to disease, malnutrition, and insecurity. Improved access to populations in 2002 enabled the IRC to measure mortality rates among 9.3 million people in the East, and 31.2 million in the West. According to the survey, the crude mortality rate in the East was 3.5/1000 per month, and 2.0/1000 per month in the West. In 1997, before the conflict started, the national crude mortality rate was 1.3/1000 per month.
USG Humanitarian Assistance
On November 5, 2001, U.S. Ambassador Aubrey Hooks re-declared a disaster for the ongoing complex emergency in the DRC as a result of the continued fighting since August 1998.
USAID/OFDA has provided more than $10.4 million in emergency assistance to the DRC during FY 2003. USAID/OFDA provides emergency assistance in the food security and nutrition sectors, contributes to emergency market infrastructure rehabilitation, and supports agricultural programs for war-affected, vulnerable, and internally displaced persons.
USAID/OFDA's projects target the geographic areas with the highest mortality and malnutrition rates, and encourage implementing NGOs to expand into new areas as security permits. USAID/OFDA supports programs that provide emergency assistance to the most vulnerable, and integrate components for building local capacity in order to promote the development of people's sustainable livelihoods.
USAID/OFDA supports two Emergency Disaster Response Coordinators (EDRCs) in the DRC to monitor the humanitarian situation throughout the country and make programmatic recommendations to USAID/OFDA in Washington.
USAID's Office of Food For Peace (USAID/FFP) has provided 21,770 MT of P.L. 480 Title II Emergency Food Assistance to WFP in FY 2003, valued at approximately $20 million.
USAID's Office of Transition Initiatives (USAID/OTI) is providing $4.6 million in FY 2003 for programs in the DRC. USAID/OTI has developed a national, multi-faceted program to support the transition to peace in the DRC. USAID/OTI supports MONUC's Radio Okapi (through Fondation Hirondelle and Search for Common Ground) in order to increase availability and access to balanced information on humanitarian assistance, the peace process, and demobilization and reintegration. Through a sub-grants program with CARE, USAID/OTI provides assistance to local and national groups, and encourages support of the Lusaka Peace Accords and the Inter-Congolese Dialogue.
To date in FY 2003, the State Department's Bureau of Population, Refugees, and Migration (State/PRM) has provided $3.65 million to assist refugees in the DRC.

What is causing soft spots in my mobile/manufactured home floor?
Thursday, November 4, 2021
Soft spots in a mobile home floor are always caused by an area of long-term or repeated wetness, and it can come from above, below, or the side:
ABOVE - A poorly installed marriage line connection at the ridge line of a double-wide can allow a gap to open up and water to run down, sometimes along the roof framing, before it drops elsewhere to the floor. Ordinary roof leaks can also do it. Splashed water around a shower or tub, if done repeatedly and allowed to sit, is another culprit. Or the spilled water around pet food bowls.
BELOW - Leaking plumbing will drip into puddles on the belly board, creating a bulge, wet areas, and high humidity below the floor. Also, an oversize air conditioner can cause condensation on the wood subfloor. When the a/c unit is rated for significantly more BTUs than what is recommended by the manufacturer, the system will cool the home too quickly, not allowing the necessary air flow time over the evaporator coils to provide adequate dehumidification. Combine that with a thermostat set in the lower 70s, and condensation will wet the surface of the floor where the cold above and warm air below meet. Even worse, close a floor supply register, which pressurizes the connection of the duct to the register above, and see what the leaked cold air gushing into the enclosed floor structure voids will do.
A mobile home we inspected last month had a 5-ton package air conditioner connected to a double-wide rated by the manufacturer for a max 2.5 ton unit. Plus, the home was sited on continuously moist soil at the edge of a Florida swamp, and had large tears in the belly board. Then, to top it off, the homeowner had replaced his water heater at the inside laundry room with one of those new heat-pump units. It exhausts additional cold air into the home as part of heating the water. Condensation soft spots in the floor were everywhere, some with temporary patches nailed over them. Most of the floor, walls and ceiling in the area around the new water heater had been torn out, with mold showing on parts of the drywall that remained.
THE SIDE - Mobile homes are notorious for leaking rainwater at the bottom corner of windows. It runs down to the floor level and then spreads sideways, leaving a stain on the baseboard over time, and creating soft spots near the wall.
Particle board used in older manufactured homes is more susceptible to weakening from wetness than products like plywood and OSB, but all of them are eventually damaged by high moisture. The solution, of course, is to cut out and replace the bad areas after fixing the cause of the problem. But avoid making small repairs. The repair piece should go across at least two floor joist bays.
To learn more about other ways mosture can attack a mobile home, and there are plenty more, download HUD’s guide “Moisture Problems in Manufactured Homes, Understanding Their Causes and Finding Solutions”. Also see What causes a crowned floor in a mobile/manufactured home? and What are the signs that a mobile home is not level?

We investigated the enhancement and quenching of dye fluorescence by single gold nanoparticles using an aperture-type scanning near-field optical microscope to evaluate the shape dependence. Enhancement or reduction of fluorescence was found to be strongly dependent on the shape of the particle. Gold nanoplates showed significant fluorescence enhancement, as did aggregated nanoparticles for the most part. On the other hand, gold nanorods with high aspect ratios showed quenching effects. The results suggest that the electromagnetic near-field in the vicinity of the surface of nanoparticles, not just near the apex or the tip but the whole surface, is important for understanding fluorescence enhancement and quenching.

The Acorn is an item that is dropped when cutting down Trees. For every leaf bush on a Tree, there is a chance to get one Acorn, and the chance is highest with the leaf bush at the top. However, cutting off a branch with a leaf bush on it will always give you one Acorn. Acorns can be planted and will eventually grow into Trees. If you have played on a single world for a long time and have cut down all the trees, it is advised to stockpile these.
- When planting Acorns, remember to leave them enough space for them to grow, 3 blocks each is enough.
- Acorns can only be planted on Dirt Blocks that Grass Seeds has grown over or is a Snow Block, it also has to be above sea level on the Depth Meter.
- Saplings will not grow above ground if there is a Dirt Wall behind them.
- The saplings can be destroyed by hitting the block they are planted on (or the sapling itself) with a pickaxe. Doing this will not drop an Acorn.
- Planted Trees have a maximum height of 14 blocks. They will not grow as high as some of the very large Trees the player may see, which are automatically spawned by the world itself.
- The size and shape of the resultant tree is random, and permanent. Trees do not continually grow.
- Removing the weeds around the sapling may improve the growing speed of the Tree.

Benedict College and Allen University are among eight S.C. community sites added to the newly established Reconstruction Era National Historic Network, launched in March by the National Parks Service.
The national network connects sites across the country that provide education, interpretation and research for Reconstruction, the post-Civil War period generally dated from 1865 to 1877 during which attempts were made to address the political, social and economic inequities of slavery and the readmission of the 11 states that had seceded from the Union.
The John D. Dingell Jr. Conservation, Management, and Recreation Act, signed into law on March 12, 2019, outlined the creation of the Reconstruction Era National Historic Network, which includes parks and battlefields throughout the country. Other S.C. sites in the network include Fort Sumter and Fort Moultrie National Historic Park and Congaree National Park.
A Nov. 23 video announced the addition of Allen and Benedict, along with Claflin University, Clinton College, Mather School, Rose Hill Plantation State Historic Site, South Carolina State University and Voorhees College.
“This Reconstruction Era is a very misunderstood part of our history,” Rep. James Clyburn said in the video. “I think that they only way for us to really gain appreciation for it is for the story to be told accurately.”
Allen and Benedict are both historically Black colleges and universities in Columbia.
Founded in 1870 by Bathsheba A. Benedict, Benedict College is a private liberal arts institution with more than 1,738 students from all 46 S.C. counties, 30 states and 26 countries enrolled in 25 degree programs.
Allen University was founded in 1870 by the African Methodist Episcopal Church.
“I commend the National Park Service for taking bold and progressive steps toward inclusive education by creating the Reconstruction Era National Historic Network. It is a testament to the enduring legacy and profound importance of HBCUs,” Roslyn Clark Artis, Benedict president and CEO, said in a news release. “I am excited that our collective stories of resilience, leadership and education will be highlighted as a part of a national network exploring the accounts of educated African Americans during the United States Reconstruction Era.”
The newly added sites also include Mather School, a Beaufort landmark founded in 1867 to provide education to formerly enslaved Black girls, and Rose Hill Plantation State Historic Site, the Union County home of former S.C. Gov. William H. Gist which interprets stories of tenant farming.
“The Reconstruction story is a national story,” said Scott Teodorski, superintendent of Reconstruction Era National Historic Park. “It includes sites from all over the country. Some of the sites are managed by the National Park Service, and many are not. The Reconstruction Era National Historic Network provides an opportunity to connect these sites and to connect visitors to their stories as part of the Reconstruction Era. We are very excited to welcome these new sites to the network and look forward to working with them.”

Rafting the river rapids is a major adrenaline rush. If you are going to hit the rapids, you need to know several of the simple language thrown around while in the Activity.
As with all Activity, it can help to have a primary knowledge of the equipment on the trade, approaches and these. Not simply does this allow you to sound like you know what you're accomplishing, but it surely in fact gives you some insight into the procedure. Lets Have a look at a few of the vital factors.
Dry Bag A dry bag is actually a water-proof bag it is possible to preserve items in on the raft like wallets, keys and these types of. Water will probably get everywhere in the boat, so look at yourself warned. Most whitewater rafting companies deliver them with excursions.
CFS This abbreviation refers to cubic ft for every 2nd, a evaluate with the speed and ferocity of the present. The more cubic toes of h2o going per next, the greater aggressive the rapids and, in my humble viewpoint, the more pleasurable!
Eddie An eddie is a region where by the current stops or heads back up stream. This usually happens around the down existing facet of boulders. It may be a very good put to gather yourself for the following rapids.
Gradient This phrase refers to the normal verticality of your river. The higher the 스포츠중계 gradient, the steeper the river is. This greater gradient indicates a lot quicker drinking water and generally a far more exhilarating ride.
Hydraulic Also referred to as a hole or different cuss phrases, a hydraulic is a region the place water is super turbulent and will suck your raft beneath if adequate in measurement. It is often identified at the bottom of a fall or powering a large obstacle wherever the gradient is significant along with the CFS is huge.
Speedy This really is why you live to whitewater raft. Rapids are turbulent regions of the drinking water which gives the Activity its title. You pop in, out, about and every which way through them.
Existence-Jacket A flotation unit. Wear them always. Dont attempt to be great. If you get thrown from your raft, that may happen, these will conserve you. This is particularly genuine for those who smack your head on something.
This small list of phrases must provide you with a head begin on experiencing your trip. Get in existence and fling oneself down one among Mom Natures roller coasters.

Pay as you go (PAYG) instalments are payments you can make throughout the year to avoid accumulating a large tax bill to pay at the end of the year. Making these payments is a great way to budget for income tax and keep a healthy cash flow.
To qualify for PAYG instalments, you must earn over a threshold amount from your business or investment income (also known as instalment income).
The amount that you pay in PAYG instalments throughout the year will be offset against any owed tax for the entire year. But it is important to lodge your activity statements and pay all PAYG instalments before lodgment of tax returns if you want these to be included in your tax assessment.
There are two options for calculating and paying PAYG instalments:
- Instalment Amount: Simplest option which involves paying instalment amounts the ATO calculates based on relevant information.
- Instalment Rate: You calculate the instalment amount using instalment rate provided by the ATO and your instalment income. Therefore, dependent on income as you earn it and not predetermined.

Vital highway gully cleaning supports winter road safety
Drainage and water utilities specialist Lanes Group plc is carrying out a six-month programme of gully cleaning along main roads in North East Scotland.
The cleaning work is an essential part of a planned and preventative maintenance programme (PPM) to prevent localised flooding which can make roads less safe.
Lanes has been commissioned to carry out the gully cleaning by road maintenance provider BEAR Scotland, on behalf of Transport Scotland.
The programme covers all trunk roads in the North East Scotland highways region and runs from October 2019 to March 2020.
Lanes Area Development Manager Alan Watt said: “The gully cleaning is carried out every year during autumn and winter.
“It’s an essential part of the highways PPM programme to ensure roadside drains do not become blocked preventing the free flow of rainwater.
“Pooling of water on the carriageway is both a road hazard and contributes to traffic congestion. As climate change leads to more volatile weather and more heavy periods of heavy rain, this work is more important than ever.”
The gully cleaning is being carried out at night under traffic management. The capacity Lanes has to carry out road drainage work at night is a major benefit for clients because of reduced impact on road users.
Lanes has committed to empty an average of 110 gully chambers during every shift. Debris sucked up from the highway drains is taken to an authorised waste disposal site.
If highway gullies are not regularly cleaned out, silt and other debris that builds up inside them increases the risk of the pipework being damaged.
It allows plants to grow in gully chambers and sustains roots that find their way into highway drains through cracks and displaced joints.
Over time, this can contribute to major root blockages along many metres of highway drains. It can also cause further cracking and even the collapse of pipes, resulting in the need for more costly repairs.
Lanes Group has a fleet of modern and highly effective specialist vehicles for highway drainage maintenance.
They include recycler jet vac tankers for water jetting and vacuumation that can filter and reuse their water.
This makes them more sustainable and more productive, because they can stay on station for longer without refilling water tanks. This, in turn, reduces their carbon footprint.
Lanes also has ultra-high vacuumation tankers for removing large volumes or wet and dry material, including stones and rubble, from highway culverts.

The recombined boosters will contain components from the omicron sub-variants BA.4 and BA.5 in addition to the original formula, which was Based on the version of the virus that went global in early 2020. The hope is that redesigned boosters will be more effective in dealing with an evolving virus.
In late June, the Food and Drug Administration advised the inclusion of the Omicron component in reconstituted boosters, and the agency directed manufacturers to do so. The companies have indicated that they will likely deliver the new shots in October. But since then, officials have urged companies to move faster in producing the shots. If the new boosters are available by early and mid-September, officials said, the administration is unlikely to allow a second dose of the current boosters for people under 50 years old.
No final decision has been made; Officials are awaiting information from manufacturers about whether there will be an adequate supply of reworked shots if the fall campaign begins earlier than expected. A decision is expected within days.
The FDA said it is assessing the current situation, including data showing an increase in hospitalizations, and will make decisions about boosters based on all available evidence.
Moderna’s spokesperson, Chris Ridley, said the company is committed to expediting the supply of reformulated vaccines “to meet the needs of regulators and public health requirements around the world.” Pfizer declined to comment on vaccine administration decisions.
At the moment, the only groups eligible for a second booster dose of coronavirus are people age 50 or older and those age 12 or older who have compromised immune systems.
Earlier this month, administration officials said they were studying a plan to allow all adults to have a second booster to curb the surge of viruses fueled by more infectious omicron sub-variants such as BA. 5 that avoid certain immune protections and increase the risk of re-infection.
Ashish Jha, the White House coronavirus coordinator, and Anthony S. Fauci, the White House’s chief medical advisor, preferred to make the booster vaccines more widely available this summer and call for a quick decision. But officials said Peter Marks, the Food and Drug Administration’s chief vaccine officer, had some concerns.
As the debate continued in late July, officials became increasingly concerned about closing the window to encourage younger adults to take a second booster dose now and then and recasting the shot later this year.
Rochelle Wallinsky, director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, said Friday in The Washington Post Live that her agency is talking to the FDA about the second booster for all adults, but that’s ultimately the FDA’s decision.
“The FDA should take action to allow a fourth dose for those under 50,” Walinsky said. “In the meantime, another thing we’re doing is planning for fall and understanding the implications of it, and where we’re headed for fall, which is only six weeks away.”
Some outside experts have supported the idea of allowing all adults to get a second dose of the current booster—particularly as the protection provided by the first boosters is diminished. This would also allow the Biden administration to use vaccine doses that have reached their expiration dates and that would have otherwise been discarded.
But other experts caution that a second dose of the current booster will not provide much benefit and may cause some harm. said Paul A. Offit, director of the Vaccine Education Center at Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia and an outside advisor to the Food and Drug Administration, recently said that repeatedly giving the same vaccine can lead to a phenomenon known as “imprinting,” in which an individual’s immune system grows. A highly targeted response to previous versions of the virus and a failure to adapt to the evolution of this virus.
The federal government has agreed to purchase 105 million doses of Pfizer-BioNTech’s restart vaccine for $3.2 billion. At $30.50 a dose, that’s a premium on the initial contracts the government made for the original vaccine in 2020, when the vaccines were $19.50 a dose.
The government is expected to sign a contract with Moderna soon.

Researchers at the Atomic Minerals Directorate, a unit of India's Atomic Energy Commission, have estimated lithium reserves of 14,100 tonnes in a small patch of land surveyed in the Southern Karnataka district.
Reserves of lithium, a rare metal critical to build batteries for electric vehicles, have been discovered in Mandya, 100 km from Bengaluru - a find that should boost local manufacturing of EV batteries.
Researchers at the Atomic Minerals Directorate, a unit of India's Atomic Energy Commission, have estimated lithium reserves of 14,100 tonnes in a small patch of land surveyed in the Southern Karnataka district, according to a paper to be published in the forthcoming issue of journal Current Science.
"The present data provides a total estimation of available Li2O as about 30,300 tonnes over an area of 0.5 km x 5 km, which works out to about 14,100 tonnes of lithium metal," said N Munichandraiah, Emeritus Professor at the Indian Institute of Science and an expert on battery technologies.
But, to put this in perspective, the lithium find is small compared to many major producers. As the professor puts it: "If one compares with 8.6 million tonnes in Chile, 2.8 million tonnes in Australia, 1.7 million tonnes in Argentina or 60,000 tonnes in Portugal, 14,100 tonnes is not that large."
Lead author of the paper, PV Thirupathi, did not respond to mails seeking comment.
India currently imports all its lithium needs.
‘Not Enough Exploration Effort’
Its imports of lithium batteries tripled to $1.2 billion in FY19 from $384 million in FY17. In the eight months to November 2019, lithium battery imports stood at $929 million, according to data shared by science & technology minister Harsh Vardhan in Parliament on February 2.
Experts say while India requires lithium for its energy needs, there has been no comprehensive effort to map local reserves of lithium so far.
“We have not explored so far whether we have adequate reserves of lithium because of concerns of radioactivity,” says Dr Rahul Walawalkar, president of India Energy Storage Alliance, a grouping that looks at battery technologies. “We don’t know the potential”.
So far, in the absence of local mines for lithium, India has set up Khanij Bidesh India to source and acquire mines in Argentina, Bolivia and Chile.
The company will stop producing Jazz after October 2022 while the crossover WR-V will not be produced beyond March 2023. The carmaker will also stop the production and sale of the 4th Generation Honda City by December 2022 in the country. However, the 5th generation of the sedan will continue to be available in the market, a source in the know of things told ETAuto.

The country received “normal” rainfall during the four-month Southwest monsoon from June to September, the India Meteorological Department (IMD) said on Thursday, even as there is an extended period of rainfall. The IMD said the Northeast monsoon, which brings rainfall to southern states from October to December, is also likely to be normal.
Mrutunjay Mohapatra, director general of IMD, said conditions were likely to be favourable for the commencement of withdrawal of the Southwest monsoon from some parts of Northwest India from around October 6. Southwest monsoon withdrawal from Northwest India normally begins from September 17.
“Quantitatively, 2021 all India monsoon seasonal rainfall during June 1 to September 30 has been 87 cm against the Long Period Average of 88 cm of 1961-2010 (99 per cent of its LPA),” Mohapatra said. “Southwest Monsoon seasonal rainfall for the country as a whole during June-September has been normal (96-106 per cent of the LPA),” he added.
This is for the third consecutive year that the country has recorded rainfall in the ‘normal’ or ‘above normal’ category. Rainfall was above normal in 2019 and 2020. Southwest monsoon is critical for the Indian economy whose GDP is still heavily dependent on agriculture and its allied activities. It is crucial for filling the reservoirs used to supply drinking water and irrigate vast swathes of land.
The rainfall over the country as a whole was 110 per cent in June, 93 and 76 per cent in July and August respectively — the months that bring the maximum rains. However, the shortfall of July and August was compensated in September, which recorded rainfall 135 per cent of the LPA. In its four divisions, the IMD said, the Southwest monsoon rainfall was normal over Northwest India (96 per cent) and central India (104 per cent), below normal over East and Northeast India (88 per cent), and above normal over South Peninsula India (111 per cent).
Nagaland, Manipur, Mizoram, Tripura, Assam, Meghalaya, Arunachal Pradesh in the Northeast, Jammu and Kashmir, Ladakh, West Uttar Pradesh and Lakshadweep received deficient rainfall. West Rajasthan, Haryana, Delhi, Andhra Pradesh, Telangana, North Interior Karnataka, Gangetic West Bengal, Konkan and Goa, Marathwada and Andaman and Nicobar recorded excess rainfall during the monsoon season. The Southwest monsoon made onset over Kerala on June 3, after a delay of two days. It rapidly covered central, West, East, Northeast and South India by June 15.
It also covered many parts of North India, even Barmer and Jaisalmer — its last outposts — but the monsoon winds failed to reach Delhi, parts of Haryana and West Uttar Pradesh. It then witnessed a lull. It finally covered Delhi, parts of Haryana and West Uttar Pradesh, on July 13, five days after its normal onset date, belying IMD’s forecasts.
Mohapatra said it again witnessed a lull from August 3 and entered the active phase of August 18. The month recorded large deficiency. It again entered an active phase. The season also saw formation of 13 cyclonic circulations — low pressure, well-marked low pressure area, depression, deep depression and cyclone — which are critical during the rainfall period. “It is normal to have 13 systems, but they were not uniformly distributed,” Mohapatra added.
June saw two low pressure areas, July recorded two low pressure areas (LPA) and two well-marked low pressure areas (WML). August recorded four LPAs. However, September recorded one cyclone (Gulab), one deep depression and four WML, he added.
In its forecast for the Northeast monsoon, the IMD said, Northeast monsoon 2021 is likely to be normal (89-113 per cent of the LPA). Northeast monsoon brings rains over Tamil Nadu, coastal Andhra Pradesh, Rayalseema, Kerala, South Interior Karnataka and Lakshadweep. The monthly rainfall for October 2021 over South Peninsula is most likely to be normal.
Marathwada records excess rain, records 91 rain-related deaths since June
At least 91 people have died, while over 25 lakh hectares of farmland were destroyed due to excess rainfall in Marathwada in the last four months, an official said on Wednesday. According to a report released by the divisional commissioner’s office in Marathwada, several areas in the region have faced losses due to excess rainfall between June 1 and September 28. Over 25 lakh hectares of farmland belonging to more than 35.64 lakh farmers were damaged due to heavy rains so far this year, the official said.
Marathwada is generally affected by drought and water scarcity. Even during the monsoon, the weather in this region, which has reported a high number of farmer suicides, is unpredictable. But the scenario was different this year.
Nanded was the worst-affected district in the region, where over 5.77 lakh hectares of land belonging to 8,38,645 farmers were affected, the report stated. Shiv Sena MLC Ambadas Danve, meanwhile, has written to chief minister Uddhav Thackeray demanding direct aid to farmers owning up to 2 hectares of land. In his letter to Thackeray, Danve also urged that wells damaged due to flooding be repaired through employment guarantee schemes across Marathwada.

Federal authorities are helping to investigate reported cyberattacks against JPMorgan Chase and other banks, the Federal Bureau of Investigation said.
FBI Supervisory Special Agent Joshua Campbell told the Washington Post in a statement late Wednesday that the agency was working with the Secret Service “to determine the scope of recently reported cyber attacks against several American financial institutions.”
Multiple news outlets, including Bloomberg News and The New York Times, are reporting that the banks were infiltrated by hackers who stole gigabytes of data, including information that would enable them to siphon money from accounts. Both organizations cite unnamed sources.
The motivation behind the attacks and the identity of the attackers is still unclear, though Bloomberg, which first reported the intrusions, reports that at least one of the banks was linked to Russian hackers.
Earlier this month, a U.S. cybersecurity firm said that a Russian crime ring was suspected of obtaining access to a record 1.2 billion username and password combinations.

The origin of the real and tangible presence of God’s love here and now. Jean Chezard de Matel is remembered this month in a special way because she set the vision that has accompanied us on the road to build a world based on justice and peace so that we may be ‘recipients’ of God’s love and satisfy the hunger of the world.
Jean Chezard de Matel
In September, we remember Jean Chezard de Matel in a very special way. She was born to eternal life on September 11, 1670. She was born in Roanne, France, in 1596; she was a mystic, writer, spiritual director and theologian, at a time when women were not recognized for these roles.
Even though our Congregation was founded in 1869, our origins and our accompaniment as Sisters of Charity of the Incarnate Word have been guided by the prophetic vision of our very dear Mother Jean Chezard de Matel: being that real and tangible presence of God’s love here and now.
Jeanne moves us to receive the Incarnate Word the same way as Mary received him. This means that we transform our life into: bread of compassion, simplicity, generosity, building in justice and peace in order to receive God’s love and satisfy the hunger of the world.
In her autobiography and in her other works, we can see her deep and intimate relation with Jesus, the Incarnate Word. She was ‘in love’ with Jesus; her life’s passion was to love Him.
Her knowledge of the Incarnate Word in the Gospel led her to “extend the ministry of the Incarnation”. For this purpose, she founded the Order of the Incarnate Word and the Blessed Sacrament, which is contemplative as well as apostolic.
Her calling was to contemplate the Incarnate Word and then to incarnate that Word in her apostolate. And that is what we do in our Congregation: it is an answer to this calling. We contemplate in action and our action leads us to contemplate the God of Life.
Jeanne’ life was a life full of struggles, opposition, periods of darkness and of great hope. But all of this made her life so human and helped her to become the woman she became. We are grateful for all this and we continue to request her protection.
By: Sister Katty Huanuco, CCVI.

When you first buy a lava lamp it is basically unborn – a foetus of cold rubbery goo sitting still and motionless at the bottom of a glass container. To make things happen one must birth the lava lamp by connecting it to some power volts and switching on the hot bulb under the lamp. The goo is then heated and magically comes to life. These are photographic observations of the birth of a lava lamp, taken round Austin’s house one lazy weekday afternoon when we had nothing better to do.
Some of the pictures are not of the greatest quality – we were experimenting with my new camera using different lenses and equipment and such like to get good macro close up shots. This involved using various paraphernalia such as extension tubes with manual focus in poor light – never a good combination if you want to get good, sharp shots. So these are my numerous excuses why some of the shots are out of focus and I’m sticking to ’em! But I still managed to snap a few keepers.

The variation of daylight under clear and partly cloudy sky conditions was analyzed to examine the fluctuation of electric light controlled by a daylight dimming control system. Field measurements were performed in a full-scale mock-up office space that faced south. Horizontal and 35° blind angle conditions were tested. Three different shielding conditions for a photosensor were examined to predict the fluctuation of electric lights. The fluctuation of vertical illuminance under partly cloudy sky conditions was 23.8 times as greater than that under the clear sky conditions. A multiple linear regression model was employed to determine the fluctuation range of outdoor daylight illuminance according to sun positions under partly cloudy sky conditions. The fluctuation of electric light output under clear sky conditions was less than 6.6% of target illuminance. In contrast, it varied greater than 50% of target illuminance under the partly cloudy sky conditions. Shielding condition effectively blocked the direct influence of daylight fluctuation on photosensor. The linear correlation between the fluctuation of outdoor vertical illuminance and photosensor illuminance was the weakest when the photosensor was partially-shielded. From this, it was found that partial shielding of photosensors is a desirable strategy for reducing the fluctuation of light output from electric lights integrated with daylight dimming systems.

Franklin Township District 5:
Franklin Township’s District 5 school was originally called Bear Creek. Later, it was called Huffman Corner, due to its location near the Huffman family’s land (Griffing, 1874). In 1886, the original schoolhouse was replaced and moved to Alex Huffman’s farm, where it was renovated to become a barn. A new building superseded it during the same year (New, 1886).
The 1886 schoolhouse was either replaced or altered substantially in 1915 (Hinshaw, 2008). After its closure in 1923, the schoolhouse was used by the Franklin Township Farm Bureau and the Bear Creek Friends Church as an events center for several years (Hinshaw, 2022).
At some point around 1936, the schoolhouse was torn down, moved, and rebuilt as a barn two-and-a-half-miles west of its original site. In 1959, a new home was built over the basement of the old school (Randolph, 2022). The block basement -visible due to the area’s uneven terrain- is all that remains of Franklin Township’s last remaining schoolhouse.

CSU researchers identify potential cause of cattle reproductive problem
26 SEPTEMBER 2011
Scientists at CSU in Wagga Wagga have identified an organism that can cause significant reproductive problems in cattle herds.
Scientists at Charles Sturt University (CSU) in Wagga Wagga have identified an organism that can cause significant reproductive problems in cattle herds.
It’s the first time the Ureaplasma diversum (U.diversum) bacteria has been detected in cattle in Australia.
The bacteria can cause genital lesions, inflamation of the internal reproductive organs, early and mid pregnancy loss of calves and the birth of sickly calves.
The research team from the CSU School of Animal and Veterinary Sciences led by Professor Peter Chenoweth and Dr Kapil Chousalka, examined cases in the Riverina and Upper Murray regions of NSW.
Professor Chenoweth said local veterinarians, Mr Dave Hall and Mr Bill Graham, sought advice after noticing bulls with severe genital lesions.
“The vets considered that it was a relatively recent problem that was getting worse, and that it was relatively widespread,” he said.
While the bacteria has been detected in southern NSW cattle herds, Professor Chenoweth expects it will be present in other areas.
The economic impact of this bacteria in Australia is yet to be determined but a study in a large affected cattle herd in the US showed a 15 to 17 per cent drop in the number of heifers calving.
Professor Chenoweth said the organism can be a benign inhabitant of the reproductive tract that can flare up in some circumstances.
“It’s spread during mating with an infected animal, but can also spread from mother to calf during birth and from the vagina to uterus during artificial insemination.”
Professor Chenoweth said the organism is difficult to culture and its identification is a testament to the skill of CSU researchers and the excellent diagnostic laboratory facilities available at the University.
“It has helped to provide at least part of the answer to a mysterious problem and knowing what it is helps us to put management tools in place that can control or reduce the effects,” he said.
Professor Chenoweth believes treating with antibiotics during the joining season may reduce the impact of the organism.
He urges cattle producers to closely monitor bulls as the lesions often become worse during the second week of mating.
Professor Chenoweth said more research is needed to understand the epidemiology of the organism, including a possible interaction with feeding cattle high protein diets.

Lab Quality Pregnancy Testing that is 99% accurate as early as 7-10 days after conception.
Limited Obstetrical Ultrasound In Order To:
- Detect fetal heartbeat.
- Determine fetal age.
- Determine approximate due date.
- Detect the location of the pregnancy (Pregnancies that develop outside of the uterus, known as ectopic pregnancies can be life threatening.)
Ultrasound is your best tool to gain medical information about your pregnancy in order to make an informed choice. According to the American College of Obstetrics and Gynecology (ACOG), miscarriages occur in approximately 20% of all pregnancies and most occur in the first 13 weeks of pregnancy. If signs of a possible miscarriage are detected during your ultrasound YOU MAY NOT NEED AN ABORTION. If ultrasound shows a possible ectopic pregnancy you need to seek immediate medical attention. YOU DO NOT NEED AN ABORTION. In both of these situations you avoid the pain and cost of an abortion.
Pregnancy Options Counseling Including Information On:
- Continuing the pregnancy and parenting.
- Continuing the pregnancy and releasing for adoption.
- Abortion procedures and information.

About the center
The Missouri Soybean Center is a community of scientists, teachers, farmers, advisers and consultants dedicated to increased profitability, enhanced sustainability and expanded use of soybean. Community members come from universities, private companies, government agencies, commodity groups and farms throughout Missouri. Together, we are committed to ensure that soybean remains an economic engine contributing to prosperity for all Missourians.
Facilitate interaction, dialog and communication so that we can combine our knowledge and talents to increase soybean profitability, sustainability and use.
- Highlight excellent research, teaching and extension programs focused on soybean.
- Foster collaborations among persons from all disciplines with an interest in soybean.
- Connect scientists and teachers with farmers and their advisers.
- Facilitate the assessment of challenges facing all parts of the soybean value chain, help set priorities for research, teaching and extension programs, and identify teams to address those challenges.
The Missouri Soybean Center values:
Science — Our decisions, actions, and advice are firmly rooted in sound science. Each day we add to the world’s knowledge of soybean. We gather information through strict adherence to the scientific method. We propose hypotheses and test those hypotheses using methods that assure our results are repeatable and transferable. Our conclusions are unencumbered by bias, personal belief or outside pressure and submitted for peer and public review.
Engagement — Facts gained from experimentation are empty and useless until placed in the vessel of engagement. Our responsibility does not stop with discovery; instead we engage our discoveries on to issues of consequence facing the soybean industry and those that benefit from that industry. Gathering, interpreting and sharing information are at the center of our engagement. We facilitate engagement through symposia and other meetings; in our classrooms; in our extension programs, and through development of other educational opportunities.
Service — Our science and scholarship are mission directed. We bring our science, engagement and skills to bear on challenges facing all links in the soybean value chain. We enrich the lives of all citizens by improving stewardship of the environment, enhancing food security through increased yield, improving human nutrition and health, and stimulating economic development of local communities.
Community — We are a community in the truest sense of the word. The Missouri Soybean Center is a place where individuals are able to make connections, learn from each other, and grow professionally and intellectually. While our work is rooted in the scientific method, we also honor the wisdom obtained from life’s experiences. We nurture each other and help each other become better citizens in the scientific community and throughout Missouri.
