Meet the Scientists Behind mRNA Vaccines
Drs. Katalin Karikó and Drew Weissman met photocopying journal articles and soon began working together to better understand mRNA. Together, they discovered a breakthrough: how to make mRNA non-inflammatory to enable development of cutting-edge mRNA-based vaccines. In a video from Penn Medicine, they explain how the technology is now being used to develop everything from a gene therapy for sickle cell anemia to vaccines for peanut allergies.

A New Approach to Understanding Cancer: Protein Mapping
After more than a decade of research, scientists from the Cancer Cell Map Initiative have published a series of papers outlining a new approach to map protein networks underlying different types of cancer. The technique holds promise to help understand what is driving cancer and identify new therapeutic targets. “Looking at cancer at the protein level could help organize the mess of genetic data into a simpler understanding of the pathways that are driving disease,” Andrew Joseph writes in a recent article for STAT.
Antiviral Pills for COVID-19 Now in Clinical Trials
“Oral antivirals have the potential to not only curtail the duration of one’s COVID-19 syndromes, but also have the potential to limit transmission to people in your household if you’re sick,” Timothy Sheahan, a virologist at the University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill, told NBC News. Unlike remdesivir, the only antiviral currently approved to treat COVID, the drugs now in clinical trials can be packaged as pills.

The University of Hertfordshire has introduced a new module as part of their MA in Literature at Culture, inspired by the political activist movement #BlackLivesMatter.
The one of its kind in the UK module, entitled ‘US Culture and #BlackLivesMatter’ means that students can now learn about the significance and contexts of the internationally recognised movement.
Students will be able to examine and study contemporary cultural texts, which forms part of the movement, such as music by Beyoncé and Kendrick Lamar, and popular films like Get Out, 13th and Moonlight which address the cultural issues concerned in the activist movement. They will also study prize-winning authors Colson Whitehead and Jesmyn Ward.
The programme is designed to allow students to develop real-world social and global perspectives, and the module will engage with various cultural texts that focus on topics such as violence, identity, love, politics and queerness among others – themes that are also explored elsewhere in the MA Literature and Culture module, like the ‘Reading the Vampire’ and ‘Networks of Modernism’ modules.
Christopher Lloyd, Lecturer in English Literature at the University of Hertfordshire, said: “This module is significant because learning about black culture, rights and social justice is vital to our understanding of the contemporary world. The University is committed to both international perspectives and addressing the BME attainment gap in higher education. We see this module as part of that larger project.”
Black Lives Matter originated in 2013 as a hashtag, after George Zimmerman was acquitted for the murder of seventeen-year-old Trayvon Martin in Florida. The movement started on social media but was eventually taken to the streets, and people have been protesting in the United States and around the world ever since.
The course will be available from September 2018 at the University of Hertfordshire.

Firecracker ferns (Russelia equisetiformis) are evergreen flowering plants that are native to Mexico. Also known as coral plant, it grows up to 2 1/2 feet tall and 1 1/2 feet wide. Because of its size--and its cascading growth pattern--firecracker ferns grow best as single plants, or as small shrubs. The plant grows well in hanging baskets, with its foliage spilling over the container. Firecracker shrub blooms from spring to fall outdoors, and blooms year-round indoors. Firecrackers are resilient plants, but do require some specific care.
Plant the firecracker plant in rich, well-drained potting soil. If you don't have access to potting soil that provides adequate drainage, make your own by mixing garden soil and garden sand or peat at a 1-to-1 ratio. If you want to plant the firecracker in a flower pot, use a pot that has at least one drainage hole in the bottom.
Place the plant in an area of your yard that receives sunlight from the south, east, or west. The plant tolerates full sun in cooler climates. In the south, give the firecracker filtered sun, such as beneath a tree with a sparse canopy.
Water the firecracker frequently. Firecracker prefers its soil to be moist--but not wet--at all times. Do not allow the soil to dry out completely between waterings. Once the top inch of soil is dry to the touch, it is time to water the firecracker again.
Fertilize the firecracker fern every two weeks, during spring. During the summer, fertilize weekly. Use a balanced water-soluble fertilizer to feed it. Do not fertilize firecracker during fall or winter, as the plant is dormant during these seasons, and fertilizer will burn its roots.
Reduce waterings to once every 10 to 14 days during the winter. Also, prune the plant down to 9 inches tall during the winter, to encourage new growth in the spring.

PG NEXT Question of the Day 04-11-2016
The photograph shown below is as a result of disorder of
d. Fatty acid synthesis
Answer : A) Purine
Harper’s illustrated Biochemistry , 30th ed , page 354
GOUT IS A METABOLIC DISORDER OF PURINE CATABOLISM
Various genetic defects in PRPP synthase present clinically as gout. Each defect—for example, an elevated V max, increased affinity for ribose 5-phosphate, or resistance to feedback inhibition—results in overproduction and over excretion of purine catabolites. When serum urate levels exceed the solubility limit, sodium urate crystalizes in soft tissues and joints and causes an inflammatory reaction, gouty arthritis. However, most cases of gout reflect abnormalities in renal handling of uric acid. While purine deficiency states are rare in human subjects, there are numerous genetic disorders of purine catabolism.
Hyperuricemias may be differentiated based on whether patients excrete normal or excessive quantities of total urates. Some hyperuricemias reflect specific enzyme defects. Others are secondary to diseases such as cancer or psoriasis that enhance tissue turnover. Diseases of purine metabolism include Lesch Nyhan syndrome, Von Gierkes Diesease , Hypouricemia , Adenosine deaminase deficiency , purine nucleoside phosphorylase deficiency.


4-Year-Old Toddler Found 220-Million-Year-Old Dinosaur Footprint on Beach
A 4-year-old toddler found a dinosaur footprint, which is over 220 million years old on a beach at Bendricks Bay in Wales.
Last Friday (January 29, 2021), National Museum Wales said that a young girl identified as Lily Wilder discovered dinosaur footprints on a beach in Wales. The fossilized footprint is about 10 centimeters long.
Lily’s father Richard was surprised after seeing the fossil discovered by his daughter. Lily’s mom sally was also amazed on what they have seen. “Richard thought it was too good to be true. I was put in touch with experts who took it from there,” Sally said.
National Museum of Wales Palaeontology curator Cindy Howells said that the discovered footprint is the best specimen found in the area. The experts believed that the creature is about 75 centimeters tall and 2.5 meters long based on the footprint.
Howell said that they could not identify the dinosaur but the footprint shows a glimpse of the early evolution of dinosaurs. She believes that the dinosaurs exists around 230 million years ago and the footprint could help the scientists to discover more about the dinosaurs.
The Natural Resources Wales allowed the authorities to remove the specimen from the beach. The fossil will be turned over and displayed at the National Museum Cardiff.

Meningiomas are typically slow-growing tumours and, especially when small, they may produce little in the way of symptoms. Increasingly, these are discovered by chance when scans are ordered to investigate the cause of some headaches, dizziness or tinnitus and are referred to as incidental meningiomas as they are often not thought to be causing the symptoms the patient has. When symptoms do occur these often relate to pressure from the tumour or irritation of the meninges causing headaches. Irritation of the brain may cause seizures (fits). Meningiomas may upset the function of the neighbouring brain and nerves, for example, producing weakness of the face, arms or legs, or disturbing balance, vision, hearing, facial movement, speech or swallowing depending on the location of the growth.

- Cell Voltage is in Volts - V (Vc = Cell Voltage).
- Cell Capacity is in AmpHours or milli-AmpHours - Ah or mAh (Ahc = Cell AmpHours)
For example, if a higher voltage is desired, cells are assembled in series and if a higher current capacity is desired, cells are assembled in parallel.
- Series batteries have the negative (-) terminal of the 1st cell connected to the positive (+) terminal of the next cell in the string. The battery voltage is the cell voltage multiplied by the number of cells in the string, while the capacity remains the same.
- Parallel batteries have both (+) terminals and both (-) terminals of each cell connected together. The battery voltage equals the cell voltage, but the capacity is the cell capacity multiplied by the number of cells in parallel. Cells in parallel should be matched for best performance, while lithium primary cells in parallel must have blocking diodes for safety reasons and lithium-ion cells must be matched for safety reasons.
- Series-Parallel batteries have identical string sets of series cells assembled in parallel at the (+) and (-) terminal ends, but the interior cell connections are normally not connected to each other. The battery voltage equals the voltage of the strings and the capacity equals the cell capacity multiplied by the number of strings.
There are accepted industry abbreviations for these configurations. Examples:
- 1S1P = A single cell battery. V = Vc and Ah = Ahc
- 1S2P = A battery with 1 cell in series and 2 cells in parallel. V = Vc x 1 and Ah = Ahc x 2
- 2S1P = A battery with 2 cells in series and 1 cell in parallel. V = Vc x 2 and Ah = Ahc x 1.
- 2S2P = A battery with 2 cells in series and 2 cells in parallel. V = Vc x 2 and Ah = Ahc x 2.


Children with Autism have extra synapses in the brain
Dr Shelley Hyman
A study from the Columbia University Medical Centre has discovered that children and adolescents with autism have an excess of synapses in the brain. This excess is due to a decline in normal brain ‘pruning’, a neurological regulatory process which reduces the overall number of neurons and synapses, enabling more efficient synaptic configurations. Since synapses are the point where neurons connect and communicate with each other, the additional synapses may have a significant impact on the functioning of the brain.
Researchers have found a drug that restores normal synaptic pruning and reduces autism like behaviours in mice, even when the drug is administered after the behaviours have appeared. The drug, rapamycin, has side effects which may render it inappropriate for use on humans. However, the senior investigator says that the mere observable change in autism- like behaviours suggests that autism may be treatable, if a better drug can be discovered.
The cause of the pruning defect can be linked to the fact that the autistic children’s brain cells were filled with old and damaged parts, and were deficient in a degradation pathway known as “autography”, a process that cells use to breakdown their own components. The pruning defect has been linked to a protein called mTOR. When mTOR is overactive, the brain cells lose most of their ability to breakdown their own components, leading to poor pruning and a surplus of synapses. As such, the “rapamycin” inhibits mTOR.
This research is a remarkable step towards understanding the neurobiology of patients with autism. It could provide a means of diagnosing autism through screening for mTOR and autophagic activity, as well as a possible cure for autism through treatment of synaptic dysfunction.


The catenary curve (also called a chainette, alysoid, funicular, see wiki) - the curve of hanging chain or cable or other fibre in a homogenous gravitational field - is used in many design tasks. To create a sketch shapes as a catenary in Inventor you can zse the function "Equation curve" and specify the curve parametrically.
On the above linked wiki page you can find the generalized equation of a planar catenary curve:
y = a * cosh (x / a)
where a is the parameter of uniform scaling of the curve.
Start the function Equation curve (Sketch > Create > Line > Equation curve):
and enter the equation directly to the equation fieleds - choose the equation option "Explicit" and "Cartesian". Just make sure the correct units are combined - i.e. convert the length value of "x" to angle (mm->rad). Using the value of a = 1.8 and the range x -2 to 2:
y = 1.8 * cosh (x / 1 mm * 1 rad / 1.8)
For possible subsequent editing of the curve, you the function "Edit equation curve" from the context menu in the model browser tree.


Scudder, N F
The magnitudes of the yawing moments produced by various parts of an airplane during spins have previously been found to be of major importance in determining the nature of the spin. Discrepancies in resultant yawing moments determined from model and full-scale tests, however, have indicated the probable importance of scale effect on the model. In order to obtain data for a more detailed comparison between full-scale and model results, flight tests were made to determine the yawing moments contributed by various parts of an airplane in spins. The inertia moment was determined by the usual measurement of the spinning motion, and the aerodynamic yawing moments on the fuselage, fin, and rudder were determined by pressure-distribution measurements over these parts of the airplane. The wing yawing moment was determined by taking the difference between the gyroscopic moment and the fuselage, fin, and rudder moments. The numerical values of the wing yawing moments were found to be of the same order of magnitude as those measured in wind tunnels.

Canadian History Comes to Life at 2011 DSBN Heritage Fair
Students at the District School Board of Niagara will be taking a look back through time next week at the seventh annual Regional Heritage Fair being held at School Support Services in Niagara-on-the-Lake on April 19.
Over 130 student projects celebrating the many different aspects of Canadian history will be on display during the day-long event. Students from Grades four to eight from across Niagara competed at school level Historica Fairs to qualify for the regional fair.
The Heritage Fairs program encourages students to explore Canadian history in a dynamic, hands-on learning environment. Students use the medium of their choice to tell stories about Canadian heroes, legends, milestones and achievements.
“Canada is a proud country with a rich history and there are countless stories to be told,” says Heather Matthews, DSBN Consultant for Canadian and World Studies. “Our students have worked hard to prepare these projects and present some of the most compelling stories in national and local history. Some students have also chosen to look at the traditions and historical significance within their own families.”
Matthews adds that participating in the Heritage Fairs program is an excellent way for students to explore Canadian history and develop effective research skills. “Preparing and presenting these projects also allows students to develop essential oral, written and visual literacy skills,” says Matthews.
At the Regional Fair, students will also have the opportunity to take part in several insightful workshops, including a musket demonstration by the staff at Fort George.
In this video, Applewood Public School teacher Bryce Honsinger talks about the benefits of participating in the Heritage Fairs program:


The Byzantine section comprises a unique collection of daily life used objects which clearly reveals the characteristics of the Coptic art. This art, which is a popular Christian art restricted to Egypt, is in principle a religious form of art that tends to be symbolic and simple. The characters depicted are either inspired by the Holy Bible or represent eminent local Saints. The Coptic art neglected the third dimension, and human figures were portrayed in only two dimensions. The use of geometric motifs, which have a symbolic religious connotation, was quite popular. The triangle, for instance, connotes the Holy Trinity. Animal figures, such as fish and floral motifs as vine branches, were widespread.


On the following day the march south was resumed and continued to Spottsylvania Court House. Upon taking position, the regiment was thrown forward as skirmishers. The rebel artillery and sharp-shooters made the position an uncomfortable one. An advance was made by Gibbon's Division, but without success. During the 9th and the 10th, it was on the skirmish line and almost constantly engaged in one of the enemy's attacks, Captain William M. Smith, who commanded the regiment, was severely wounded, and the command devolved on Captain Mitchell Smith.
On the evening of the 11th, Hancock's Corps was moved into position and prepared for an assault. At daylight it quietly moved, in well formed lines, under cover of a dense fog. The enemy's skirmishers had barely time to discharge their pieces before the Union column was upon them, and soon had possession of their works. The fighting was now severe, coming hand to hand; but the enemy was forced to yield, and large captures of men and material were made. In the charge Captain Smith and Lieutenant Clark were instantly killed, and the command of the regiment devolved upon Captain Peter W. Grear. For several days the regiment was on the skirmish line, and was kept busily employed, the enemy being vigilant for an advantage.

Authorities should be on high alert for a major earthquake over the next few days as celestial bodies in our solar system align, conspiracy theorists claim. A planetary alignment of Earth, Neptune, Mars and our Moon could trigger a magnitude 6 quake somewhere around the world, according to website Ditrianum, run by researcher Frank Hoogerbeets who is a ‘new-age earthquake’ forecaster. The website stated the gravitational pull of the celestial bodies either side of our planet could pull on Earth’s tectonic plates, in a theory dismissed by experts.
Mr Hoogerbeets does not give any indication where the earthquakes might occur however, but he predicts a tremor will register at around magnitude six, which “may cause a lot of damage in very populated areas”, according to Michigan Tech.
He wrote on the website: “Some seismic unrest may occur from the 14th to the 16th due to the Moon's alignment with Neptune and Mars.
“There is a slight possibility of a strong 6 magnitude earthquake, but borderline to low 6 is more likely.”
Mr Hoogerbeets claims he uses a Solar System Geometry Index (SSGI) which “is the computation of a dataset for a specific time-frame of values given to specific geometric positions of the planets, the Moon and the Sun”.
Major earthquake WARNING: Damaging quake could strike THIS WEEKEND
He added: “After three years of observations, it became clear that some planetary geometry in the Solar System clearly tends to cause a seismic increase, while other geometry does not.”
But experts have dismissed Mr Hoogerbeets’ claims, saying that there is no way earthquakes can be predicted.
John Bellini, a geophysicist at the US Geological Survey (USGS) has said: “We can't predict or forecast earthquakes.
"Sometimes before a large earthquake you'll have a foreshock or two, but we don't know they're foreshocks until the big one happens.”


Carpentry skill and wood art. Carpenter builds and installs a variety of wood products. These items can be doors, windows, furniture, cabinets and more. A tool used by the carpenter in his work can be electric saw, saws, nails, drills, mills, woodworking clamps, etc. Apart from these tools, according to the science of the day, advanced tools which entered the woodworking world. The growing advances in the technology of woodworking machinery in the world and the necessity of familiarizing it with students and professionals in this field is inevitable. The advanced training courses for wood industry are being developed due to the lack of resources and information on advanced woodworking machinery such as General.NC.CNC and woodWOP software used in CNC machines. This course is for students, enthusiasts and wood industry professionals. This training course is equal to 80 training hours.


What does the “==” do exactly?
“55” == “55”
55 == 55
“55” == 55
How is “===” any different from “==”?
“55” === “55”
55 === 55
“55” === 55
For example, this means that if you have the numbers 55 and “55” and try comparing them with the “===” operator that it will not only compare the contents of the two data or variables you pass to it, it will also compare the typeof variable or data it is. In this case, it would return false, because a string is not the same data type as an integer.
How can I compare == vs. === on my own?

And they allow you to use their console feature to perform logic tests, write simple functions and much more. Check out this Chrome’s DevTools Tutorial if you’d like to learn more.
- Open DevTools by pressing down Command+Shift+I (Mac) or by right-clicking anywhere on the screen and selecting “Inspect”.
What about the != operator and !==?
You can also compare if something is “!=” (not equal to) something else, and if something is “!==” (strictly not equal to) something else.
When testing if “55” !== 55 with the !== operator, the answer returned will be true because the string “55” is not strictly equal to the integer 55.

About the Show
Every year, 60,000 people in the U.S. are diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease. The devastating neurological disorder occurs when cells in the brain don’t produce enough dopamine. Parkinson’s is marked by tremors, stiff muscles and slow movement. The exact causes are unknown but experts believe it’s a combination of genetic and environmental factors. For most patients, Parkinson’s gets progressively worse. Actor and Parkinson’s patient Michael J. Fox stars in a new TV show about a man living with Parkinson’s. As public awareness increases, Diane and a panel of experts discuss the reality for most patients and the latest treatments.

TU B’SHEVAT —
On our daily journeys we pass by so much of value that we barely notice. For instance: trees. Our very lives depend on trees. They provide us with fruit, shade, paper, often the homes we live in, and much of our furniture and other objects that we use on a daily basis. They are also a source of beauty and respite. Despite their importance, they tend to become the backdrop for our lives– easy to pass by with barely a thought or a glance.
Jewish tradition celebrates the New Year of the trees. It is called Tu B’Shevat, the fifteenth of the Hebrew month of Shevat. On Tu B’Shevat trees are planted and rituals of eating fruits and nuts and drinking wine are observed. It is a kind of birthday of the trees, and in Israel it is the time when the first fruit-bearing trees
awaken from their winter sleep and begin their cycles.
Judaism teaches that we should plant and protect trees. We should plant trees, no matter how old we are, so that future generations can enjoy their beauty, shade, and usefulness. We should protect trees, especially those that bear fruit, for the benefit of all society. Tu B’Shevat can be observed traditionally in a kind of seder with plates of dried fruits and nuts, fresh fruit, grape juice, or wine. Or it can simply be a special day for you and your children to notice the value and beauty of trees in your lives. Even at the coldest time of year, we can have faith that spring and renewal will come soon again.
TALK TO YOUR CHILDREN about trees and all that they give us.
CONNECT TO THEIR LIVES:
- Which kinds of trees do you like and why?
- What are some of the wooden objects you use in your everyday lives?
- Why plant a tree that takes so long to grow and mature?
- How do our lives depend upon trees?

PowerPoint gives you pretty good editing control over shapes you insert into a presentation. Whether you want to merge two shapes or change a shape using its edit points, PowerPoint has a way.
First, open PowerPoint and select the shape that you want to change. If you don’t already have a shape inserted in your presentation, you can do so by going to Insert > Shapes > Select Shape. In this example, we’ll be using an isosceles triangle.
Once you’ve selected your shape, you’ll notice a new “Shape Format” tab appear. Go ahead and select it.
Next, head over to the “Insert Shapes” group and click the “Edit Shape” button.
A drop-down menu will appear. From the menu, select the “Edit Points” command.
Now, to change the shape, click and drag the black edit points to the desired location.
You may have noticed a few white edit points appear, as well. You can use these to change the curvature of the line between two black edit points.
This will allow you to change the structure of your shape completely. It’s a simple technique, but it can yield some interesting results.


Taxonomy is the science of organizing everything into like-groups. Scientists classify all living things on the planet. Plants are organized in the Kingdom Plantae.
Plants are organized into four main categories, based upon their phylum, tissue structure, seed type and stature. Phylum refers to the overall type of plant; for example, ferns or flower producers are in different categories. Tissue structure refers to the way that the plant can absorb and circulate water. Seed structure classifies plants by those that produce spores and those that produce covered or uncovered seeds. Stature refers to the overall height and build of the plant; for example, vines and trees vary greatly in their overall stature.
Scientific names are the Latin names that scientists use when speaking about a type of plant. For example, a scientist would call a tall yellow flower Helianthus, but you and I would most likely call it by its common name: a sunflower.
Once you have taught children some of the differences among plants, take them to a garden to show them the differences in leaf shape and structure firsthand. Point out how leaves from a fern differ from the leaves on from maple tree and pine needles. Show students flowers with overlapping petals and examples of seeds that are coated and uncoated.


How Much Fossil Fuel Is Left?
“Humanity can adapt to whatever climate change may occur—with sufficient prosperity and political will.” – Edward Ring, senior fellow of the Center for American Greatness
“The argument against fossil fuels rests on two premises. The first is that carbon dioxide emissions from burning fossil fuels are causing a climate emergency. … The other premise underlying the drive to eliminate fossil fuels is more pragmatic. We are reaching ‘peak oil,’ and there simply isn’t enough of it to last much longer. Oil, natural gas, and coal are all nonrenewable resources, with finite reserves.”
“According to the most authoritative source on energy in the world, total proven reserves of fossil fuel currently total 49,023 exajoules. This means that just with proven reserves, and if only fossil fuel were used, and if global energy consumption were doubled to 1,000 exajoules per year, there would still be a 50-year supply of energy. How much more fossil fuel can be extracted from unproven reserves is anybody’s guess, but it is a safe bet that twice as much more is available, meaning there’s at least another century’s worth of fossil fuel even if we used nothing else to power civilization.”

Heinrich Keller |
(October 11, 1776 - September 18, 1862)
Heinrich Keller (October 11, 1776 - September 18, 1862) was a Zurich based etcher, lithographer, cartographer and illustrator. Keller's father was a baker and in all likelihood Keller would have continued in the family business had not terrible fall down several flights of stairs left him with a complicated femur fracture. During the next several years, Keller was confined to crutches. Limited in his movement, the young Keller instead turned his attention to maps and sketching. Discovering himself to be a talented artist, he devoted himself to cartography, landscapes, physiognomies, and views. At 19, Keller took work as a colorist and art tutor with the well known Zurich print dealer Johann Heinrich Fussli. It was during his time with Fussli that Keller began to develop and audience for his travel guides, views and maps. Around 1817 Keller split with Fussli and set up his own small publishing firm in his Zurich home. He is known for an attractive c. 1827 map of Zurich and a supremely detailed 1834 wall map of Switzerland. Keller's panoramic views also have a considerable following.

The two most striking characteristics of the sequence of primes is that there are many of them but that their density is rather slim. From Euclid’s theorem (Theorem 2.3.1) there are infinitely many primes; in fact, there are infinitely many in any nontrivial arithmetic sequence of integers. This latter fact was proved by Dirichlet and is known as Dirichlet’s theorem. As mentioned before, if x is a natural number and π(x) represents the number of primes less than or equal to x, then asymptotically this function behaves like the function x/ln x . This result is known as the prime number theorem. Besides being a startling result, the proof of the prime number theorem, done independently by Hadamard and de la Vallée Poussin, became the genesis for analytic number theory. In this chapter we will discuss various aspects of the infinitude of primes. The prime number theorem will be introduced in the next chapter.

Figure 4.14a. Shaded-relied bathymetric map of the Approaches to Boston Harbor, north of the Harbor Islands and south of Nahant, including Broad Sound (see fig. 4.2 for map location). The darker patches indicate the areas where multibeam bathymetry was collected and data gridded at 2 m; the rest of the area was mapped by single-beam sonar and gridded at 30 m. The sea floor in this region is characterized by elevated rough areas, some of which are hypothesized to be drumlins reworked by rising sea level. See Figure 4.15 for selected photographs at stations 72, 73, and 84. See Figure 4.14b for companion sidescan-sonar image.


Treating Fractures That Don’t Heal
(Ivanhoe Newswire) ““ Many bone fractures don’t heal completely or properly, but this new model shows why fractures aren’t healing properly and how they can be treated to restart the healing process and produce a strong healthy bone.
About 5 to 10 percent of bone fractures the healing process doesn’t succeed in fully repairing the bone, which leads to non-unions- failure of a fracture to unite and heal. Using an animal model mimicking a clinical non-union situation and a mathematical model developed for studying normal fracture healing.
The researchers developed ways to treat non-unions by transplanting cells from the bone marrow to the fracture. This was tested in a pilot animal experiment, and in both simulations and experiments showed bony union formation between the fractured bone ends.
This experiment showed the potential for using cell transplantation for the treatment for non-union fractures and the possibility for healing aging people with fractures that won’t heal.

Since the 1890s, garbage trucks have played an important role in helping dispose of the waste we generate. Prior to the invention of motor vehicles, garbage was often disposed in close proximity to daily life: dumped into sewers, piled in the streets and floated down rivers.
As the U.S. population continued to grow, concerns about the public health effects of mountains of rotting waste led New York City and many other municipalities to declare war on garbage and seek better ways of disposal. Enter the garbage truck. Starting in 1918, cities began switching from horse-drawn to motorized trash collection vehicles. In 1938, the first garbage truck featuring a hydraulic compactor was patented, allowing the trucks to carry a significantly larger volume of trash to distant landfills. Additional innovation now allows a modern garbage truck to haul even more.
It’s a good thing too, since the average American now throws away an astounding 7.1 pounds of trash every day. Taking the trash off the streets and throwing most of it in the landfill, however, also presents concerns: groundwater contamination from leaky liners, methane gas from decaying organic waste and limited space for ever more garbage.

Aerobic fitness means increasing how well the body uses oxygen, which depends on the condition of the heart, lungs, and muscles. Experts tend to describe aerobic activity in three ways: light, moderate, and vigorous.
When people do moderate-intensity activities, they notice a faster heartbeat. To get the benefits of moderate activity, a person can:
The goal of aerobic fitness is to increase the amount of oxygen that goes to the heart and muscles, which allows them to work longer. Any activities, including many kinds of daily activities, that raise the heart rate and keep it up for an extended period of time can improve aerobic fitness. If the activities are done regularly and long enough, they can help improve fitness.
Experts recommend that adults try to do moderate activity for at least 2½ hours a week. Or they can do vigorous activity for at least 1¼ hours a week. You can choose to do one or both types of activity. And it's fine to be active in blocks of 10 minutes or more throughout the day and week. Children as young as preschool age benefit from being active. It's best for teens and children (starting at age 6) to do moderate to vigorous activity at least 1 hour every day.
Moderate activity is safe for most people, but it's always a good idea to talk to your doctor before starting an exercise program.

If you think humans are the most efficient at building cities and other intricate structures, you may have overlooked another species — ants.
An abandoned colony of grass-cutter ants was located, and scientists decided to study it in depth. First they filled the empty chambers and passageways with concrete. Then they excavated around the concrete to expose the structure. What they found was amazing.
First, the filling part took three days and ten tons of concrete. Second, clearing away the soil to expose the structure took weeks of digging. The result appeared to be the work of a master architect, but it was actually the collective instinct of thousands of insects (Star Trek fans think miniature Borg).
The entire investigation was documented in Ants! Natures Secret Power. A summery can be found in a 3:15 video clip on (of course) YouTube, which can be accessed through “Watch what happens when scientists excavate a giant anthill” by Emily Howard (https://earthsky.org/earth/video-giant-ant-hill-excavation?11693). It’s a fascinating peek into nature, even if it’s a bit humbling for us humans.


The irresistible charm of Amsterdam's canals
All our apartments in Amsterdam
What would happen to Amsterdam if its canals were taken away? This is a completely legitimate question given how perfectly they symbolise the city's charm around the world and contribute to its appeal. After all, there's a reason Amsterdam is nicknamed Venice of the North! As elements of the Dutch capital's identity, the countless canals are the perfect excuse for a stroll or boat trip!
More than 100 kilometres long, Amsterdam's canals were built from the 17th century, the Golden Age in the history of the Netherlands. The city's cultural and historic symbols, they are crossed by around 1,500 bridges, some of which are the most stunning in the country. Among the hundreds of the city's canals, the concentric canals in Herengracht, Prinsengracht, and Keizersgracht, which mark the borders of the city's tourist centre, are by far the most famous. Listed as UNESCO World Heritage Sites, they form what is called the "Golden Bend".
One of the main appeals of Amsterdam's canals is that they brilliantly reflect the combination of architecture and culture for which the city has always been known. Some of the most famous museums in Amsterdam are close to the neighbourhood of concentric canals, particularly the Anne Frank House, the FOAM Photography Museum, and Museum Willet-Holthuysen. Surrounded by irresistibly charming buildings, the canals perfectly express the highly characteristic spirit and atmosphere of the city.
The three perpendicular streets adjacent to the main canals make up the most popular shopping area in Amsterdam. They're what we call the "Nine streets", or "Negen straatjes" in Dutch. They will give you the opportunity to taste one of the local succulent culinary specialities or browse the most trendy second-hand stores.


Resembling a tricked-out coffin on four wheels, Colonial Williamsburg’s original 18th-century fire engine is one flaming-hot antique! This piece is so important to early American history that is part of a rare “stand alone” exhibit, and has been reproduced not once, but twice for actual use in the Historic Area. Richard Newsham’s Fire Engine uses the display of this magnificent machine to explore fire and early fire-fighting techniques.
Like modern ones, early engines were used to direct a stream of water at an out of control fire—which was a significant problem in a time when buildings and their contents were highly flammable. Indeed, Williamsburg was described as “our Wooden city” in 1721, and remained relatively safe until 1747, when the Capitol Building burned. To prevent further tragedy, the colony wisely decided to invest in a proper fire engine “and Four Dozen of Leatheren Buckets for use of the Capitol” in 1754.
This patented engine, built in London by Richard Newsham’s firm around 1750, is known to have been the clear choice for anyone in England or America who was serious about combating fire.
This exhibition was made possible by a grant from the Ambrose and Ida Frederickson Foundation.

Infection, genetics and evolution : journal of molecular epidemiology and evolutionary genetics in infectious diseases 2016 6 13() pii 10.1016/j.meegid.2016.06.021
HIV is responsible for one of the largest viral pandemics in human history. Despite a concerted global response for prevention and treatment, the virus persists. Thus, urgent public health action, utilizing novel interventions, is needed to prevent future transmission events, critical to eliminating HIV. For public health planning to prove effective and successful, we need to understand the dynamics of regional epidemics and to intervene appropriately. HIV molecular epidemiology tools as implemented in phylogenetic, phylodynamic and phylogeographic analyses have proven to be powerful tools in public health planning across many studies. Numerous applications with HIV suggest that molecular methods alone or in combination with mathematical modelling can provide inferences about the transmission dynamics, critical epidemiological parameters (prevalence, incidence, effective number of infections, Re, generation times, time between infection and diagnosis), or the spatiotemporal characteristics of epidemics. Molecular tools have been used to assess the impact of an intervention and outbreak investigation which are of great public health relevance. In some settings, molecular sequence data may be more readily available than HIV surveillance data, and can therefore allow for molecular analyses to be conducted more easily. Nonetheless, classic methods have an integral role in monitoring and evaluation of public health programmes, and should supplement emerging techniques from the field of molecular epidemiology. Importantly, molecular epidemiology remains a promising approach in responding to viral diseases.

A trip to the shore can offer more than fun in the sun and sand for your child this summer. By gathering shells that have washed onto the beach and then stringing them together as a wind chime, your child will boost her math and science abilities and her appreciation of nature.
"Grouping the shells by shape and color as they're collected provides children with practice in sorting and classifying, skills that are the bases of important mathematical concepts," says Sara Wilford, director of the Early Childhood Center at Sarah Lawrence College in Yonkers, NY. Shells' beautiful shapes and colors are intrinsically fascinating to kids, and you can heighten your child's interest by looking through books on marine life to help her identify the various shells she finds as you comb the beach together.
Once she begins making the chime, your child will add to essential fine-motor skills as she works with you on gluing her collection of shells to the strings, then measuring, knotting, threading, and tying, according to Wilford.
After you've completed the chime, hang it on your patio or near a window in your child's room. As the breeze passes through, she'll delight in the shells' movement and calming sounds and relive her warm memories of summer.


What is rubber?
Rubbers are loosely described as materials which show “elastic” properties. Such materials are generally long chain molecules known as “polymers” and the combination of elastic and polymers has led to the alternative name of “elastomers”. Rubbers and elastomers will be considered to be synonymous in this work. Products made from rubber have a flexible and stable 3 �” dimensional chemical structure and are able to withstand under force large deformations. For example the material can be stretched repeatedly to at least twice its original length and, upon immediate release of the stress, will return with force to approximately its original length. Under load the product should not show creep or relaxation. Besides these properties the modulus of rubber is from hundred to ten thousand times lower compared to other solid materials like steel, plastics and ceramics. This combination of unique properties gives rubber its specific applications like seals, shock absorbers and tyres.

(1880-1929) UK politician – Unionist MP for Aylesbury from 1924 – and author, mostly on naval matters. Trafalgar Re-Fought (1905) with W Laird Clowes replays the Battle of Trafalgar in a twentieth-century setting. His Future War novel, The War Inevitable (1908), spends much of its time at sea in the context of the historical Anglo-Japanese Alliance (1902-1921, formally terminated 1923). A sneak attack by Germany on Britain's torpedo boats leads to the circumnavigation of the globe by Japan's fleet to come to the aid of its ally; Germany then suffers a condign Invasion. In a series of stories – beginning with "The Way of the Navy" (September 1909 Pearson's Magazine), where the entire set appeared – Burgoyne speculated on various aspects of future naval warfare, including the impact of air power on a traditional navy, and a kamikaze attack, thirty years before World War Two, by a brave British pilot who – in "The Death Dive: The Story of the World's Last Naval Battle" (October 1911 Pearson's Magazine) – crashes his bomber into the German flagship.

some groups of people beneficial from modern communications technology，but some of them think they are not beneficial from these.what extent do you agree or disagree?
The modern communication technology has brought significant changes to society in recent years. But whether this new way of communicating is really beneficial to us has become a heated topic. Personally I believe Internet communication’ positive side outweighs its negative side.
First of all, by using communicating tools related to the internet, we can make our communication more convenient. For instance, when we chat on QQ or WeChat with our friends or families, even they are far away from you, we still can spread our minds and words in a second. Therefore, a good relationship between family members can be maintained.
Moreover, It is accepted that those communicating software can also greatly improve our work efficiency, which definitely gives a push to the development of our economy. Some decades ago, workers mainly resorted to computers as a method of sending emails or started a video meeting, but now more mobile devices like a phone or a tablet bring a greater range of choices.
However, some individuals intend they do not benefit from modern technology absolutely. The reasons for them may result from spending too much time on chatting online and losing their social skills. Actually they just abuse the function of this useful tool and over rely on it. That is why there are increasing numbers of people preferring to stay at home all day long with their social skills fading away.
By way of conclusion, I once reaffirm my position that these incredible advantages of Internet communication outweigh its drawbacks meanwhile it has its undeniable side-effect on human life.

the people of Phut described as mercenaries in the armies of Egypt and Tyre (
Jeremiah 46:9 ; Ezekiel 30:5 ; 27:10 ). In a fragment of the annuals of Nebuchadrezzar
which records his invasion of Egypt, reference is made to "Phut of the Ionians."

pescado vs pez
It seems llike you use pez when talking about a fish in the river and pescado when talking about a fish you are eating. Is this correct? What distinguishes between the two.
Yep, that's right. Perhaps it helps to think of it this way: Pez is an animal, which you catch by doing the verb "pescar." Once a fish has been caught, it has been "pescado" - the past participle of "pescar." The "pez nadando" has become "pescado en tu plato"
But let's remember... some species of fish keep the form pez no matters they have already been fished.
- Pez Espada
- Pez Vela
- Pez Payaso
And never it's said something like
- Este es un pescado Espada disecado.
- Aquí tengo una foto de un pescado Vela muerto.
On the other hand, kids and lot of adult people still keep saying "pescadito" but not "pecesito" when they have live fish as pets.
Pez refers to live fish in the water and Pescado is fish ready for cooking or eating. Pescado is also the participle for the verb Pescar.....To fish.
Same general principle as calf/veal, sheep/mutton, pig/pork, etc.

Throughout human history, recurrent influenza pandemics have affected individuals and societies all over the world. Yet the social responses have varied with time and space. This article discusses society's response to the Spanish influenza of 1918-1920 in northern rural Sweden, focusing on measures taken by local communities to meet the advancing pandemic. In the five studied rural communities, the official response was sparse and reactive, and the presence of pandemic influenza is almost invisible in the municipal records. Potentially preventive measures, such as school closures and bans on public gatherings, were used inadequately and introduced far too late to be effective. The current struggle with wartime hardship, food crisis and a strained economy, an insufficient public health administration, a national preventive policy primarily aimed at the prevention of cholera, and the continued use of traditional methods to deal with crises in society are suggested as some explanations for local authorities' apparent inertia during the Spanish influenza.
Keywords : pandemic influenza; social response; rural areas.


Taking Kahlo's work as its starting point, this course explores how other artists tackle themes of identity. Charles and Gass position Kahlo within a broader context of art history, using this expanded field as a means of defining the ways in which art reflects and constructs our understanding of ourselves, others, and the world we live in. Themes include the cult of the artist, artistic partnerships, the body, nationalism, portraiture, and Surrealism.

The Sonora-Arizona borderlands region encompassing southern Arizona and northern Mexico can claim some of the most impassioned advocates of an ecologically sustainable and socially just food system than anywhere else in North America. Its designation as a City of Gastronomy by UNESCO in 2016 attests to the region’s rich agricultural and food heritage and knowledge. The annual The State of the Tucson Food System (STFS) report seeks to support the efforts of diverse social actors and institutions working across various sectors of the Sonora-Arizona borderlands food system by collecting and synthesizing the most recent data available to underscore successes, problems, and barriers.
Mr. Keegan Krause is co-author of the report which is produced by the Center for Regional Food Studies at the University of Arizona. Mr. Keegan is a dual master’s degree student in Latin American Studies and Public Health with a concentration in family and child health at the University of Arizona Mel and Enid Zuckerman College of Public Health.
[Photo: Mr. Keegan Krause]
Based on feedback from various organizations, groups, and individuals, the contents of the 2018 STFS report have been organized around a particular framework, namely Whole Measures for Community Food Systems (2009) — a comprehensive toolkit that has been used by municipalities across North America for community development and planning purposes. The toolkit offers one means to documenting change in the Sonora-Arizona regional food system by assembling data around a set of variables and through a process that can be revised and replicated over time.
As such, the 2018 report can be viewed as a tool for food system stakeholders to engage in a process of planning and setting priorities for changes to local, regional, and binational food system practices and policy-making


While this is a great start, it becomes burdensome as the children grow older. More items need to be stored so more totes are purchased. The amount of storage space required grows like a never ending vine.
Worse, when the kids are ready to move out of the house, you’re both stuck with a disorganized, tangled mess of childhood papers, projects, and random stuff that your children now consider junk.
What in the world?! The intention was great, but it lacked one thing: forethought. Let me explain.
When city planners gather to discuss where the new road should go, they consider many things: frequency of use, amount of cars that will travel on it, potential problems, and ease of maintenance. They think decades ahead so that their work will not be in vain.
Your memory boxes deserve the same attention.
Step 1. Select the Appropriate Container
Step 2. Create Divisions

- 2nd Grade
- 3rd Grade
- 4th Grade

I prefer to divide by grades because most children organize their memories around the school calendar. They remember going to Niagara Falls after 4th grade or winning that soccer championship in 10th grade. The school calendar typically has more firm start/stop points than a child’s own birthday. However, if your child prefers to organize by given age, that’s fine too. I’ve also seen families set up boxes by category rather than grade level (i.e., school papers, sports, crafts, etc.). The only downside to organizing by categories is that it will be difficult to keep organized as the years go by and you’ll have a greater tendency to stop organizing and start piling the keepsakes.
Step 3. Maintain the System
Never underestimate the power of a box.


Epilepsy occurs when the electrical signals in the brain misfire, causing temporary miscommunication between nerve cells. An individual who experiences recurrent seizures is thought to have epilepsy.
Epilepsy can occur at any age, but most new diagnoses are in children. According to the Centers for Disease Control, it’s estimated that approximately 470,000 children in the United States have the neurological condition.
At the Neuroscience Center, we diagnose and treat various types of epilepsy, including:
- Fever (febrile) convulsions (seizures in children with high fever)

Johann Von Gardner (1898-1984)
Ivan Alekseyevich Gardner (1898-1984), known in the West as Johann von Gardner, was a unique and multi-faceted Russian musician and scholar, whose entire life, in one way or another, centered around Orthodox church music, Gardner was compelled to leave his homeland in 1920, living thereafter in Serbia (Yugoslavia), the Holy Land, Austria, and Germany. As a researcher and author, he single-handedly carried the torch of scholarship in the field of Russian Orthodox liturgical music, at a time his compatriots in the Soviet Union were prevented from doing so by the Communist regime. He authored a major two-volume history of Russian church singing (the first part of which is available in English translation) as well as nearly one hundred articles and monographs. In his writings he sought to continue, through historical investigation and scholarly argument, the movement initiated at the Moscow Synodal School of Church Singing—the attempt to return Russian liturgical music to its traditional Orthodox roots from which it had strayed in the 18th and 19th centuries under Western European influence.
Although Gardner’s contribution to this process as a composer is lesser-known, he wrote over 100 sacred liturgical choral works, almost all of them based on authentic Znamenny, Demestvenny, Kievan and other chants. In his compositions he was in every respect a follower of the best traditions of the “new Russian choral school”—Kastalsky, Gretchaninoff, Chesnokov, Rachmaninoff—using the full coloristic resources of the mixed choir in a rich palette of “choral orchestration.” Like many of the works of the Moscow School, Gardner’s compositionas and chant arrangements for the most part lay outside the capabilities of Russian émigré choirs, and thus remained unsung until recently. A fresh consideration of his works reveals Gardner to be an important composer whose creative legacy merits being incorporated into the corpus of the Russian sacred choral repertoire.


Leon Godchaux’s trek from an illiterate, penniless Jewish immigrant to the “sugar king of the South” began with an insult. In 1837, the 13-year-old Godchaux arrived in New Orleans from the Alsace-Lorraine region of France and began peddling needles, thread and other dry goods at plantations up and down the Mississippi River.
Legend has it that he was chased away from one of the first plantations he visited, in the town of Bonnet Carre, with this angry admonition from a would-be client: “This town is reserved for white people!” The legend also says that when he came back 13 years later with enough money to buy the whole town, Godchaux remembered that rude treatment and decided to change the town’s name to Reserve.
Godchaux had already established the Leon Godchaux Clothing Co. on Canal Street at age 21, a department store that would anchor the downtown shopping district for almost a century. After buying farm land in St. John the Baptist Parish, Godchaux would go on to build a sugar empire, with a network of 12 plantations across southeast Louisiana.
Godchaux set up in Reserve what would become the largest sugar mill in the United States, creating a true company town. Narrow-gauge trains powered by small, efficient locomotives brought cane from as far as Raceland to the central plant. Three years before his death, Godchaux owned 30,000 acres of sugar cane fields and produced more than 27 million pounds of refined white sugar a year.


The Importance of Water Supply Innovation
As the global population marches towards 9 billion by 2050 and land and water resources decline, never has the task of producing more from less been more imperative. The data on water scarcity continues to be sobering, and shortages increasingly are linked to both natural and human-made causes. By 2025, 1.8 billion people will live in regions that face “absolute water scarcity,” reports the United Nations. Essentially, these figures reveal that the role of innovation related to natural resources will no doubt become more paramount in the following years.
In combatting the issue of a growing population and declining resources, Texas, despite rising oil prices, is finding growth in other industries. To be specific, the State of Texas’ economy has an undiscovered $9 billion water and water technology cluster of jobs, businesses, and assets – and it’s mounting. In fact, Texas observed a 19-percent job increase from 2005 to 2015 in water-related jobs. By 2025, the total amount of forecasted jobs in water-related professions is 1,168,320, which constitutes a 35-percent job availability jump from the years 2015 to 2025.
Thus, given the aging infrastructure and climatic pressures on water, the future of water security relies on major innovation in technology, design and approach. Now, more than ever, it is critical to support, promote and cultivate innovation if we are to increase efficiencies, improve practices and withstand any water challenges that comes our way.
In order to further boost innovation in this growing sector, Swanson Reed has partnered with AccelerateH20. Swanson Reed is a global R&D (research & development) tax credit consulting firm, who can help you achieve tax benefits for innovative activities. The Federal and Texas State R&D Tax Credit laws apply to businesses in the water industry that are performing eligible R&D activities, including participation in AccelerateH2O organized pilots and demonstration.


Death Valley R.O.C.K.S.
Over the past decade hundreds of fourth grade students who live in large cities near Death Valley have gotten the chance to make an overnight trip to Death Valley National Park, where they learn about the unique landscape, conduct science experiments, and get the chance to see a truly dark sky and breathtaking stargazing.
These students have been able to do so through the Death Valley R.O.C.K.S. (Recreation and Outdoors Campaign for Kids through Study) program, led by National Park Service rangers, who guide these young, curious minds as they hike, learn, and experience the outdoors. For many of them, it’s the first chance they’ve ever had to go camping.
Park Rangers provide interpretation to students.
Students camp under the stars in Death Valley.
Science experiments are part of the R.O.C.K.S. curriculum.
Fostering A Love Of The Outdoors
In its role as a supporting nonprofit organization for the park, the DVC helped rally financial support for the school trips, which are co-sponsored by the National Park Service and the Death Valley Natural History Association. For example, thanks to the DVC’s help in creating a partnership, for several years Coleman Company provided a stipend to help defray costs for student transportation to the park as well as hundreds of sleeping bags that kids not only got to use on their camping trip, but then got to keep and take home with them afterward.
There is always a need for more financial support for these trips, which create lasting impacts. On top of exposing the next generation to the wonders of public lands, DVC hopes that each Death Valley R.O.C.K.S. experience sparks in each child a lasting passion for the outdoors.
In Their Own Words
Students write and draw about their experiences with the Death Valley R.O.C.K.S. Program.
Thank you generous donors for making these exciting projects possible.


the habitual thought of a mere man of letters." They are such as these;—"How the crude matter of common experience is reduced to the order and system which constitutes it an object of scientific knowledge; how the precisest possible conceptions are applied in the exact apprehension and analysis of facts, and how by facts thus established and analysed the conceptions in their turn are gradually rectified; how the laws of nature are ascertained by the combined processes of induction and deduction, provisional assumption and careful verification; how a general hypothesis is used to guide inquiry, and after due comparison with ascertained particulars, becomes an accepted theory; and how a theory, receiving further confirmation, takes its place finally as an organic part of a vast, living, ever-growing system of knowledge." Sidgwick's conclusion is as follows:—"Intellectual culture, at the end of the nineteenth century, must include as its most essential element a scientific habit of mind; and a scientific habit of mind can only be acquired by the methodical study of some part at least of what the human race has come scientifically to know."
There is nothing in that statement to which exception need be taken by the firmest believer in the value of literary education. The more serious and methodical studies of literature demand, in some measure, a scientific habit of mind, in the largest sense of that expression; such a habit is necessary, for instance, in the study of history, in the scientific


Area middle and high school students sharpened their technology skills and learned about the science of vision in a setting centered on virtual reality during the University of Pikeville’s second Esports and Vision Science Academy.
An interest in video games led to a broader learning experience. During the two-day camp, students built virtual reality viewers and learned various applications of virtual reality in architecture, mechanics, anatomy and gaming. The academy also included optics experiments to learn the properties of light and lenses and time in the university’s biology lab for eyeball dissection.
“We introduced the topics of vision/visual pathway, optics of the eye, and anatomy of the eye by relating these topics to how virtual reality works,” said Eilene Kinzer, O.D., senior clinical instructor of primary care optometry and ocular diseases at the university’s Kentucky College of Optometry (KYCO). “The students were able to learn about the advances in technology and virtual reality by also learning how to code their own virtual reality program.”
Participants in the camp included: William Conley from Johnson County Middle School; Haley Mounts and Patrick Mounts Jr. from Mingo Central High School; Joe Steele from Pikeville High School; Elijah Joyce from Lebanon High School; Samuel Kinzer from Wesley Christian School; Bix Meyer from Johns Creek School; Samuel Childress from Grundy High School; and Edith Martin and Judith Martin.
UPIKE students Aaron Asbury and David Chapman and members of the UPIKE Biology Club, Molly Frank, JoBeth Bingham, Shaelyn Eversole and Austin Thacker, assisted with the camp.

Mama Defines Autism Acceptance
Brenda Rothman at Mama Be Good defines Autism Acceptance:
Acceptance isn't a mere willingness to tolerate someone else. It's not simply an acknowledgement of an individual's existence and of their difference. It is not a passive agreement to be civil or to put up with a difficult situation or an idea that you don't agree with.
Acceptance of autism is acceptance of an autistic person. Of a person. Of your child, a family member, a neighbor, a student, a co-worker, a stranger.
Acceptance is recognizing and appreciating their autism. It is talking about autism with autistics, asking them what works for them, what bothers them, what delights them, what you can do to make their lives easier, to make their day more comfortable, to create supports for them. Acceptance is learning from autistic individuals.


Common Name: Brown Knapweed

Brown knapweed is an herbaceous perennial native to Europe (Wilson and Randall 2003). In Europe, both diploid and tetraploid variations of brown knapweed coexist (Hardy and Vekemans, 2001). Tetraploids and can hybridize freely with black and meadow knapweeds, also tetraploids. Brown knapweed prefers cool, moist, and sunny habitats.
Brown knapweed was introduced to western North America for forage, but it is not palatable and has low nutritional. Only two brown knapweed plants/infestations have been detected in northeastern Minnesota.
Review Entity | Outcome
NWAC Listing Subcommittee: Suggest regulation as a prohibited noxious weed. Have to decide whether to place on eradicate or control list; or whether to combine all knapweeds.
Comments: Subcommittee debated 2 options: 1. List as a prohibited eradicate with meadow knapweed due to small distributions in state; 2. Combine meadow and brown knapweeds with spotted knapweed as a prohibited-control knapweed complex - this would be done because it is hard to distinguish between the knapweed species and they can hybridize.

The real reason a dog’s nose is so cold!
Mar 03, 2020
It’s the world’s most effective early morning wake up call. But now we finally know why a dog’s nose is so cold. And it’s probably not why you think...
That cold wet nose is the epitome of dog. But for years it seems we’ve been wrong about it’s purpose. Instead of it being a cooling mechanism for your mate on a hot day, it’s true skill is far more high tech.
Research just published in the journal Scientific Reports, shows that the nose is actually an incredibly effective heat seeking device. Extensive nerve endings are able to detect warm objects (like small animals their ancestors would have hunted) many metres away, even when concealed by grass or other camouflage.
By being so cold in the tip of the nose, the nerve endings become more sensitive to detecting warmth in the surrounding environment. Making that cold nose a heat seeking missile. It also partly explains the places that cold nose is drawn to!


European Herring Gull (Larus argentatus) Science Article 4
Many wild birds are parasitised by organisms that afflict domestic animals particularly poultry, and even man. Perhaps the best examples are the encephalomyelitis viruses which can kill domestic animals and man, but which have little or no effect on the bird natural hosts3. Large numbers of birds live in close association with mm and his animals and it is perhaps surprising that the part that birds play in the dissemination of disease’ has not been studied more closely. Keymer17 18 brought together in 1958 much of the information on bird diseases from numerous scientific journals, as did Halloran12 in 1955. […].

Simulation Modeling in Ecosystem Science
Successes, Limitations, and Frontiers in Ecosystem Science
Ecosystem science has lost its past close connection to simulation modeling. At the inception of the field, simulation was viewed as a crucial technology to provide organization and integration. The small role that simulation modeling played in the 1997 Cary Conference, which was organized to highlight the past successes and future challenges in ecosystem science, was the impetus for this chapter. The key underlying assumption of our analysis is that simulation modeling represents one of the most powerful tools available to ecosystem scientists. This is particularly true with respect to the role that the scientific community is expecting ecosystem science to play in the analysis of problems associated with global change. Our objective for this chapter was to address the following four questions about the role of simulation modeling in ecosystem science:
- What role could or should simulation modeling play in ecosystem science?
How has the relationship between ecosystem science and simulation modeling evolved over the past few decades, and what are some examples of successes in that relationship?
- How has the use of simulation models in ecosystem science been limited, and what factors have contributed to those limitations?
How might simulation models contribute to advances in ecosystem science in the future?

Students regularly crowd around Noelle as she gives "birth." They take turns at monitoring her vital signs and at pulling the "baby" out of her body.
The newborn, also a robot, is equipped with lights on its hands and cheeks to indicate its health -- blue lights mean problems while pink lights signal all is ok.
Students say using Noelle is more useful than sitting in a classroom and taking notes.
"I think it's more helpful to have delivery training on a life-like mannequin than studying with books or lectures before treating my first live patient," said student Woon Jin-kwang.
Professor Jung said South Korea's consistently decreasing birth-rate gave her students fewer chances to watch and practice delivering babies, making Noelle's presence necessary.

|DUST MASKS AND RESPIRATORS|
* Respirators *
On some jobs you may be exposed to various substances in the air that may be harmful to your health. It is important to know what they are and how to guard against them.
Basically, breathing hazards are of two types: dusts and vapors. Dusts are tiny specks of matter that float in the air. The ones too tiny to even see with the naked eye are the most dangerous because they go farthest down into the lungs. In some dusty work environments a dust mask may be adequate. In others, a respirator may be required.
Usually a respirator is used to filter out vapors from certain lacquers and other chemicals. For these, a dustmask is ineffective because the vapors have no difficulty penetrating the fibers in the mask. A respirator should be used, and one with the proper filter. After a filter becomes saturated and you have difficulty breathing through it, its time to replace it with a new one.
Unlike dusts, unhealthy vapors usually affect the liver rather than the lungs. Usually open windows and fans can considerably reduce the vapors, but you may still need a respirator. Read the labels on cans and keep yourself informed of vapor hazards.

McMurty and his neighbors abandoned the idea of a fort and built a block house instead. It was made of logs large enough that bullets wouldn't penetrate.
Even so, the families often ran into the woods to hide when they believed the Indians were near. In the rain they covered one another with quilts as their only protection. McMurty's wife died from consumption after exposure to the rain on one of these nights, leaving six motherless daughters, the oldest, thirteen.

Shiveluch is one of the largest and most active volcanoes on Russia’s Kamchatka Peninsula. A lava dome is currently growing southwest of the 2,283-meter (10,771-foot) summit of Old Shiveluch. Frequent eruptions of ash and steam, dome collapses, pyroclastic flows, and extrusion of thick lava have accompanied growth of the dome for over a decade. The Kamchatkan Volcanic Eruption Response Team (KVERT) reported earthquakes, ash plumes, avalanches of incandescent rocks, and a viscous lava flow from March 20–22.
In this false-color satellite image an ash rich plume rises above the dome complex. Brown ash covers the nearby snow, and dark debris (likely fresh volcanic material from the steep lava dome) stretches directly south of the plume. Whitish snow covers the rest of the mountainous scene. This image was taken on March 26, 2010, by the Advanced Spaceborne Reflection and Emission Radiometer (ASTER) aboard NASA’s Terra satellite.

Lamont scientists utilize a variety of observational and computational techniques to image and model the deep interior of the Earth, from crust to core. Much of this research is seismological in nature, using recordings of earthquakes to infer variations in temperature, composition, and rock fabric that result from deformation and flow in the interior. Our research sometimes requires the installation and operation of seismic arrays from remote locales around the globe. This includes the ocean floor, using state-of-the-art instrumentation provided by Lamont's Ocean Bottom Seismology laboratory.

Describe the process of energy production by aerobic respiration from biochemical and cellular levels to anatomical and physiological levels within the human organism.
Adenosine triphosphate (ATP) is the energy currency of life. It is the high-energy molecule that stores the energy within the body needed for all body processes. It is present in the cytoplasm and nucleoplasm of every cell, and essentially all the physiological mechanisms that require energy for operation obtain it directly from the stored ATP. An estimate of more than 2 x 1026 molecules or >160kg of ATP is formed in the human body daily. ATP is synthesized in the energy factories called mitochondria.

Definition of 'Impact Fee'
A fee imposed on property developers by municipalities for the new infrastructure that must be built or increased due to new property development. These fees are designed to offset the impact of additional development and residents on the municipality's infrastructure and services, which include the city's water and sewer network, police and fire protection services, schools and libraries.
These fees can also be levied against any individual or entity where its actions create an externality within a municipality.
Investopedia explains 'Impact Fee'
Some U.S. states attempted to institute an impact fee on individuals who owned vehicles registered in another state, who then subsequently registered that same vehicle in their homestate. This smog impact fee was eventually overturned by the U.S. courts, who stated the fee was unconstitutional on the grounds that it unfairly discriminated against persons from other states.
