Appearing in ads, books, movies, museums, television, toy stores, and novels, they continually fascinate both adults and children. How did they move from natural extinction to pop culture resurrection? What is the source of their powerful appeal? Until now, no one has addressed this question in a comprehensive way. In this lively and engrossing exploration of the animal's place in our lives, W.J.T. Mitchell shows why we are so attached to the myth and the reality of the "terrible lizards." Mitchell aims to trace the cultural family tree of the dinosaur, and what he discovers is a creature of striking flexibility, linked to dragons and mammoths, skyscrapers and steam engines, cowboys and Indians. In the vast territory between the cunning predators of Jurassic Park and the mawkishly sweet Barney, from political leviathans to corporate icons, from paleontology to Barnum and Bailey, Mitchell finds a cultural symbol whose plurality of meaning and often contradictory nature is emblematic of modern society itself. As a scientific entity, the dinosaur endured a near-eclipse for over a century, but as an image it is enjoying its widest circulation. And it endures, according to Mitchell, because it is uniquely malleable, a figure of both innovation and obsolescence, massive power and pathetic failure – the totem animal of modernity. Drawing unforeseen and unusual connections at every turn between dinosaurs real and imagined, The Last Dinosaur Book is the first to delve so deeply, so insightfully, and so enjoyably into our modern dino-obsession. ""[...] brilliant and truly original. It is the first serious attempt by a cultural historian to understand the extraordinarily strong hold that dinosaurs have taken on the imagination of whole sections of the population, not just children. Mitchell has wonderfully mastered the field of dinosaurs, from systematics to science fiction, and the delight of the book is in the interpretations." - Keith Thomson, Director, Oxford University Museum of Natural History 1: Reptilicus erectus 2: Big, Fierce, Extinct 3: A Stegosaurus Made of Money 4: The End of Dinosaurology 5: The Last Thunder Horse West of the Mississippi 6: Dinotopia: The Newt World Order 7: The Last Dinostory: As Told by Himself 8: Seeing Saurians 9: Sorting Species 10: Monsters and Dinomania 11: Big MacDino 12: The Totem Animal of Modernity 13: The Way of Dragons 14: Dry Bones 15: On the Evolution of Images 16: Thomas Jefferson, Paleontologist 17: Frames, Skeletons, Constitutions 18: The Victorian Dinosaur 19: Coming to America 20: Bones for Darwin's Bulldog 21: Schizosaur 22: Dinosaurs Moralized 23: Pale-Ontology, or It's Not Easy Being Green 24: Potlatch and Purity 25: Diplodocus carnegii 26: Totems and Bones 27: Indiana Jones and Barnum Bones 28: Worlds Well Lost 29: Bringing Down Baby 30: Miner's Canary or Trojan Horse? 31: The Age of Reptiles 32: The Hundred Story Beast 33: Structure, Energy, Information 34: Catastrophe, Entropy, Chaos 35: The Age of Biocybernetic Reproduction 36: Carnosaurs and Consumption 37: Why Children Hate Dinosaurs 38: Dinos R Us: Identification and Fantasy 39: Calvinosaurus: From T. rex to O.

Around the South Jamaica housing projects in Queens, young men with pit bulls guard street corners and rap music blares from car stereos. But one house, on 110th Avenue, seems to openly defy its gritty surroundings. Its owner, Milford Graves, has covered it with an ornate mosaic of stones, reflective metal and hunks of discarded marble, arranged in cheery patterns. The yard is a lush garden, dense with citrus trees, herbs and exotic plants. Continue reading the main story In 1967, Mr. Graves was honored in a Down Beat magazine critics' poll as the year's bright new talent. He had offers of lucrative gigs from artists like Miles Davis and the South African singer Miriam Makeba. In his basement, he converted the heartbeats to a higher register and dissected them. Behind the basic binary thum-THUMP beat, he heard other rhythms -- more spontaneous and complex patterns in less-regular time intervals -- akin to a drummer using his four limbs independently. "A lot of it was like free jazz," Mr. Graves said one day last week in his basement. "There were rhythms I had only heard in Cuban and Nigerian music." He demonstrated by thumping a steady bum-BUM rhythm on a conga with his right hand, while delivering with his left a series of unconnected rhythms on an hourglass-shaped talking drum. Mr. Graves created computer programs to analyze the heart's rhythms and pitches, which are caused by muscle and valve movement. The pitches correspond to actual notes on the Western musical scale. Raised several octaves, the cardiac sounds became rather melodic. "When I hooked up to the four chambers of the heart, it sounded like four-part harmony," Mr. Graves said. He began composing with the sounds -- both by transcribing heartbeat melodies and by using recorded fragments. He also realized he could help detect heart problems, maybe even cure them. "A healthy heart has strong, supple walls, so the sound usually has a nice flow," he said. "You hear it and say, 'Ah, now that's hip.' But an unhealthy heart has stiff and brittle muscles. There's less compliance, and sounds can come out up to three octaves higher than normal. "You can pinpoint things by the melody. You can hear something and say, 'Ah, sounds like a problem in the right atrium."' In 2000, Mr. Graves received a grant from the John Simon Guggenheim Memorial Foundation, which he said gave him money to buy essential equipment. Dr. Baruch Krauss, who teaches pediatrics at Harvard Medical School and is an emergency physician at Boston Children's Hospital, said the medical establishment has only recently begun to appreciate the rhythmic and tonal complexities of the heartbeat and speak about it in terms of syncopation and polyrhythms. "This is what a Renaissance man looks like today," said Dr. Krauss, who studied acupuncture with Mr. Graves and follows his research. "To see this guy tinkering with stuff in a basement in Queens, you wonder how it could be legitimate. But Milford is right on the cutting edge of this stuff. He brings to it what doctors can't, because he approaches it as a musician." Dr. Ram Jadonath, director of electrophysiology at North Shore University Hospital in Manhasset, N.Y., said Mr. Graves's theories sounded plausible but should not replace a standard medical assessment from a doctor. "The heartbeat is a form of musical rhythm, and if you have a musical ear, you can hear heart problems a lot easier," he said. "Many heart rhythm disturbances are stress-related, and you have cells misfiring. It is possible to redirect or retrain them with musical therapy. They do respond to suggestion. That's the area where his biofeedback could correct those type of problems." Mr. Graves said he brings unusual strengths to his medical work. "To hear if a melody sounds right or not, you've got to look at it as an artist, not a doctor," he said. "If you're trying to listen to a musical sound with no musical ability, you're not feeling it, man." Mr. Graves claims he can help a flawed heartbeat through biofeedback. He creates what he calls a "corrected heartbeat" using an algorhythmic formula, or by old-fashioned composing, and then feeds it back to the patient, whose heart is then trained to adopt the healthy beat. The patient can listen to a recording of the corrected heartbeat, or it can be imparted directly through a speaker that vibrates a needle stuck into acupuncture points. "If they don't want that," he added, "I can give them a CD." Last week, Dennis Thomas, 49, visited Mr. Graves in his basement complaining of severe chest congestion. Mr. Thomas said his doctor had diagnosed bronchial asthma and given him medication that had not been effective. Mr. Graves said the problem might be related to Mr. Thomas's heart and recorded his heartbeat. With the help of a computer program, Mr. Graves tinkered with the rhythm and amplitude and then attempted to stimulate Mr. Thomas's heart by playing the "corrected" beat both through a speaker and through a wire stuck into an acupuncture point in his wrist. "I gave him a double shot," Mr. Graves explained. After 10 minutes of treatment, Mr. Thomas's heart rate had risen about 10 beats per minute, according to a monitor. Mr. Thomas, a city bus driver from Jamaica who used to study martial arts with Mr. Graves, said that he felt improvement afterward. "I started breathing easier and felt more relaxed," he said. In addition to his medical work, Mr. Graves analyzes the heartbeats of his music students, hoping to help them play deeper and more personal music. The idea, he said, is to find their most prevalent rhythms and pitches and incorporate them into their playing. The composer and saxophonist John Zorn called Mr. Graves "basically a 20th-century shaman." "He's taken traditional drum technique so far that there's no further place to go, so he's going to the source, his heart," Mr. Zorn said. "This culture is not equipped to appreciate someone like Milford," he said. "In Korea, he'd be a national treasure. Here, he's just some weird guy who lives in Queens."

Environment in emerging and transition economies EaP GREEN: Reform of environmentally harmful subsidies Reforming environmentally harmful subsidies (EHS) is a fundamental element of green growth strategies and confers a range of benefits to countries that undertale such reforms. These include, among others, reducing the use of resource intensive inputs (e.g. energy) and subsequent decrease in pollution levels, fixing market distrortions by making resource prices reflect resource value, and polluters pay for their pollution; releasing and/or relallocating public funding to other areas, such as education, energy saving or reducing debt. Determining the environmental impact of different subsidies is often complicated because specific policy measures do not take place in isolation, but within a broad and evolving socio-economic and technological context. Due to very patchy data and information but also because of the lack of a harmonised methodology for recording and reporting subsidies, identifying and calculating the size of EHS schemes is not easy and will require the concerted efforts of many different parties in a given government. Objectives and activities 1. Develop policy guidance tools to prepare EHS reform action plans. The guidance will be based on tools and methods for identifying, measuring and evaluating subsidies that are environmentally-harmful and economically wasteful. The experience with applying these analytical tools in preparing EHS reform plans, including from the EU countries, will be presented in several regional meetings with the participation of key stakeholders from the EaP countries. 2. Implement country projects. The OECD will work in three countries to develop action plans to reform EHS in selected sectors (such as energy, agriculture or water). Each project will aim at facilitating a national-level policy dialogue to generate political support for the adoption and implementation of the actions plan proposed for the country. 3. Build capacity and political support in other EaP countries to develop action plans to reform EHS. Organisation of stakeholder meetings in the EaP countries other than those hosting the pilot projects to disseminate policy recommendations and lessons learned from other countries in the region. DID YOU KNOW? ....that there is some evidence that fossil fuel consumer subsidies in the EaP countries might be large. The International Energy Agency estimated that, in 2011, fossil fuel subsidies for consumers (oil, coal, gas, electricity) totalled about USD 2 billion in Azerbaijan (about 3% of GDP), about USD 6 billion (3.3% of GDP) in Kazakhstan and about USD 9 billion in Ukraine (about 6% of its GDP).
Be prepared with our Hurricane Guide, forecasts and latest storm news Henry M: The Day One Man's Memory Died The Hartford Courant Henry M. was awake as the surgeon inserted a metal straw deep within his brain and suctioned out a piece of tissue the length of an index finger. The surgeon, William Beecher Scoville of West Hartford, talked to the 27-year-old Hartford man during the experimental operation, which he hoped would end his patient's epileptic seizures. But a reduction in seizures came at a catastrophic cost: Henry no longer could make new memories. From that summer day in 1953, Henry M. never again retained a conscious recollection of people, places or things he encountered. His intelligence remained intact, but his memory turned into a sort of Etch A Sketch, perpetually erased seconds after he turns his attention elsewhere. Today, Henry M. is by most accounts a genial old man who lives in a Hartford area nursing home, unable to recognize aides who have cared for him for years. His most recent memories date to when Eisenhower was president. His full name and residence are secrets, jealously guarded by a few neuroscientists who have dubbed him H.M. and built their careers studying his profound loss. The precisely carved hole in Henry's brain has turned out to be a treasure trove of information about the multiple facets of memory. Over the decades, dozens of scientists have made a pilgrimage to meet Henry, seeking to mine meaning from the man who lost his ability to hold a half-century of his personal history. Henry is unaware that he has become one of the most famous subjects in the history of psychology -- a textbook example of the importance of memory in the formation of identity -- or that his story still spurs questions about medical ethics and patients' rights. Dr. James Duffy, an associate professor of psychiatry at the University of Connecticut and director of psychiatric consultation services at Hartford Hospital, says he has not met Henry but suspects the man has become an afterthought in science's relentless pursuit of knowledge. ``Scientists are good at slicing off pieces of patients and manipulating them under a microscope,'' Duffy said, ``but we don't want to take responsibility for their well-being.'' Wiped Away What the world knows of Henry M. is limited mostly to lifeless prose of psychology textbooks and scientific papers, which devote many more pages to the incisions that removed most of Henry's medial temporal lobe than to his likes and dislikes, his hopes and dreams. Scientists who have worked with Henry say his memories of childhood, adolescence and young adulthood -- the only conscious memories he has -- have a brittle, worn quality to them. For Henry, the people he talks with are always strangers. And his stories are invariably the same, lacking the sinew, blood and muscle with which memory infuses experience. ``The stories he tells are incredibly similar each time he tells them,'' said John Gabrieli, a neuroscientist at Stanford University who studied Henry extensively during the 1980s. ``There is a bland, stereotyped quality to his conversations. What are you going to say when everyone is a stranger?'' Henry is a big man who has become bigger and softer after years of a sedentary lifestyle. He likes to eat. He is going bald and wears glasses. He still takes medication to control epileptic seizures, which were reduced but not eliminated by the operation. Today, he has osteoporosis and recently has had to depend on a wheelchair to get around. He will need cataract surgery soon. Apparently, Henry was always good-natured, which makes it difficult to determine just how much his gentle, agreeable demeanor is the result of his operation. Henry seldom expresses any interest in the topic of sex, but he also had no serious girlfriends before the operation. So scientists don't know if Henry's sex drive, like his memory, was a casualty of the surgery. There is little biographical information available on Henry and much of it he has supplied himself. Henry M.'s father was an electrician who migrated from Louisiana in the 1920s to Hartford, where Henry was born in 1926. The family attended church in Hartford and moved to East Hartford by the time Henry was a teenager. Later, they moved to a more rural part of Hartford County. Henry remembers roller-skating. He remembers shooting his father's gun in the woods. But unless he is coached, he doesn't remember that his parents are dead. Unofficial Guardian The person who knows as much about Henry as anyone is Suzanne Corkin, a neuroscientist at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology who has worked with Henry since 1962. Corkin acts as a sort of unofficial guardian of Henry's interests, along with Montreal scientist Brenda Milner. It was Milner who, with Scoville, in 1957 co-authored the first scientific paper describing the extent of Henry's memory loss. Corkin and Milner decided that instead of conducting tests on Henry in Montreal, it would be easier to work with Henry at MIT, closer to his Hartford home. Corkin's connection to Henry's case actually reaches back into her childhood. She was Scoville's neighbor growing up on North Steele Road in West Hartford and remains friends with the surgeon's daughter. Corkin said she and Milner decided long ago not to allow the media to interview Henry and actively discouraged efforts to write about him. She said that it would be unethical to discuss his medical records and that there are few details of his life before the surgery. Misinformation about Henry is rampant, including reports that he may suffer from depression, she added. But other scientific researchers say that when it comes to controlling information about Henry, Corkin is as zealous with them as she is with reporters. Endel Tulving, a memory researcher and retired professor of psychology at the University of Toronto, said Corkin refused to allow him to tape-record an interview with Henry. ``It's just silliness,'' said Tulving. He said he has worked with a Canadian amnesiac with a similar devastating memory loss who has been interviewed on several television shows. Corkin said more than 100 scientists have worked with Henry during the past 50 years. One fact is almost universally reported about Henry. At the age of 9, Henry was knocked unconscious after he was hit by a bicyclist. Soon after, he experienced his first minor epileptic seizures. On his 16th birthday, he suffered a grand mal seizure. James Bond In Scrubs Henry was 27 -- and having as many as 10 minor seizures a day and at least one major seizure a week -- when his case came to the attention of Dr. William Beecher Scoville, a flamboyant descendant of the illustrious Connecticut family that produced ``Uncle Tom's Cabin'' author Harriet Beecher Stowe. Scoville was a fearless -- some say reckless -- pioneer in developing surgical remedies for a variety of intractable psychological conditions. He was best known internationally for his technical improvements in the performance of lobotomies, which then were regularly conducted at Hartford Hospital and the Institute of Living, one of the world's top centers for the treatment of mental illness. He received many awards for his work. He founded an international society of brain surgeons that still gives out an annual award in his name. The University of Connecticut Health Center has an endowed chair that bears his name. No one who met Scoville forgot him. While Henry M. is genial, meek and eager to please, Scoville was a sort of James Bond in scrubs who loved fast, expensive cars and motorcycles, a demanding dynamo in the operating room, brilliant at his craft. ``Bill drove fast, lived hard and operated where angels feared to tread,'' said Dr. David Crombie, former chief of surgery at Hartford Hospital who met Scoville in the early 1960s as an intern at the hospital and became friends with his son. Scoville was an early advocate of helmets for motorcyclists, but never wore one himself, despite riding at speeds that terrified friends and colleagues, Crombie recalled. ``He said you had to wear a helmet -- unless you were keenly aware,'' Crombie said. ``He had a sense of invincibility about him.'' Scoville typically operated on people with intractable schizophrenia or severe depression. But in 1953, Scoville thought he might be able to alleviate Henry's epilepsy. Epilepsy can originate within the medial temporal lobe, a structure that extends on both sides of the brain roughly under the temples. Scoville decided to remove a greater area of brain tissue from Henry than had been removed from patients who had undergone similar surgeries. A half-century ago, doctors did not need to get a hospital's permission to try innovative operations. They were under no obligation to conduct trials before they tried new procedures on a patient. Henry and other patients did not have to sign informed-consent papers saying they knew the risks involved, although it is unlikely Henry or his working-class parents would have questioned the advice of a famous surgeon. ``In those days, the doctor's word was God,'' said Al Herzog, a psychiatrist and vice president of medical affairs at Hartford Hospital. ``In an odd way, people like Scoville helped create the ethical standards in use today. By pushing the boundaries of surgical practice, Scoville and others led hospitals to establish institutional review boards, patient protocols, things like that.'' A `Successful' Operation Late in the summer of 1953, either at Hartford Hospital or at the nearby Institute of Living in the single operating room where lobotomies were performed, Scoville took out most of Henry's medial temporal lobe, including all or parts of the hippocampus and amygdala. Scoville originally dubbed the operation a success, although Henry couldn't remember the way to the bathroom or the names of the nurses who cared for him. A few years later in a research paper, Scoville would strongly urge surgeons not to duplicate his ``experimental'' operation because of its devastating effects on Henry's memory. ``It bothered him. You could see it in his eyes,'' recalls Dr. Robert Correll, director of psychology testing services at Hartford Hospital who came to Connecticut from Iowa University in 1958 to try with Scoville to duplicate the effects of the operation in monkeys. ``Bill's goal was to be perfect. He didn't make mistakes.'' In the decades that followed, Henry often told researchers that as a child he had wanted to be a brain surgeon. Henry seems to mingle the recollection of his childhood dream and his own operation, the last memory he would ever preserve, in a sort of never-ending loop. During one interview, Henry told a researcher that he nixed the idea of becoming a surgeon because he wore glasses, ``and you could make the wrong movement then ... and that person could be dead, or paralyzed.'' He was then asked if he remembered his own operation. ``Well, I think I was, ah, well, I'm having an argument with myself right away. I'm the third or fourth person who had it, and I think that they, well, possibly didn't make the right movement at the right time, themselves. But they learned something.'' They did, indeed, the researcher told Henry, who then again brought up Henry's childhood. ``A funny part, I always thought of being a brain surgeon myself. ... And then I said no to myself. ... An attendant might move your glasses over and you would make the wrong movement.'' Do you remember who the surgeon was who did your operation, the researcher asked. ``No, I don't.'' ``Sc--,'' the researcher hinted. ``Scoville,'' Henry said. Understanding The Mind Scoville was killed in 1984, at the age of 78, when he backed up his car on the highway to get to an exit he had missed. Renowned in his time for innovative improvements to a surgical procedure now held in disrepute, the confident, perfectionist surgeon is best remembered for obliterating the memory of a young working-class Hartford man. Science's understanding of the brain changed dramatically after Scoville and Milner published their paper in 1957 describing the effects of the operation. It had been impossible for scientists to determine how specific areas of the brain created the richness of the human mind -- most often understood in abstract terms, such as Sigmund Freud's id, ego and superego. ``Freud was stuck; he couldn't make those connections,'' Herzog said. ``But with cases like H.M., the connections became more obvious. You can't run away from the importance of H.M.'' One of the first lessons Henry taught scientists was that intelligence and memory are separate entities. Henry would have flunked out of any class in which he had to learn new information because of his inability to recall new facts. Yet his IQ remained slightly above average and his ability to solve problems was unaffected by the operation. ``We now know from 30 years of animal studies that it was the most devastating surgical resection you can possibly make, but it also stopped at the border of all the important areas of the brain associated with intelligence,'' Gabrieli said. And because Henry could retain memories for very short periods of time, it became clear that different structures of the brain perform different functions in the storage and retrieval of memories. The brain structures removed by Scoville turned out to be crucial in converting experience into long-term memories, but not in storing them. ``Until H.M., memory was viewed as essentially a unitary faculty,'' said Larry Squire, a neuroscientist at the University of California at San Diego and a leading memory researcher. Scientists knew during the 1950s, for instance, that motor and muscle skill memories were processed differently than, say, how we recall that Bismarck is the capital of North Dakota. ``But that proved to be tip of the iceberg,'' Squire said. One of the major hurdles that confronted scientists studying Henry is that the medial temporal lobe contains several brain structures. In the decades since Scoville operated, scientists such as Squire have worked with animals to try to tease out the specific function of each of these individual structures. The discipline known as cognitive neuroscience emerged to describe how various parts of the brain cooperate and allow humans to accomplish complex tasks such as memorization. ``He is the most dramatic example of a patient who tragically became an experiment of nature,'' said Eric Kandel, Nobel laureate and professor of physiology and psychology at Columbia University. ``That single case enlightened a whole body of knowledge.'' Learning Vs. Remembering Scientists became so infatuated with Henry, Tulving said, that they missed evidence that other areas of the brain also contribute to memory. ``I think H.M. was a bad thing for our science. Everyone got mesmerized by H.M.,'' Tulving said. ``The whole world revolved around one case, and other cases were not followed up.'' Experiments with Henry and other amnesiacs and, more recently, various brain-imaging studies have revealed that memory is a multilayered set of processes. In some cases, such as in our recall of emotionally charged events, those processes can be at work without our conscious awareness. In one early study, Henry showed that he could learn new skills, even though he had no conscious recollection of having previously performed the task. Henry got better at copying shapes he viewed through a mirror, even though he told researchers he had never done it before. Gabrieli's research showed Henry can do the same thing with some word tasks. Gabrieli provided Henry with a list of words such as tangerine, apple and bazooka. When asked minutes later, Henry could not remember any of the words on the list. ``But when you ask him, `Can you name a weapon?' he will say, `Bazooka.' And then he says, `Why, that's an odd weapon. I wonder why I picked that one?''' Gabrieli said. Such studies have shown that different types of memory are compartmentalized in different areas -- and also that the brain has the flexibility to compensate for some deficits. For instance, Lawrence Weiskrantz of the experimental psychology department at Oxford University has studied a phenomenon he calls ``blindsight.'' Weiskrantz, who coincidentally was working at Hartford Hospital on his thesis when Scoville operated on Henry, worked with subjects who are blind because of damage in their brain. Despite the damage to their visual cortex, they can ``see'' objects. When asked to grab for flashing bars projected onto a screen, the subjects protested they could not see the bars. But, when asked to ``guess,'' they reached toward the flashing bars with great accuracy. Henry knows nothing of his legacy. Time essentially stopped for him 50 years ago. His last conscious memories are of the years before 1953, although his image in the mirror and other evidence seem to convince him that time has passed which he can't account for. Asked where he lives, Henry often gives the address of a house where he lived before the operation. Pressed to recall if he had met a visitor before, he might guess he or she was someone he knew in his youth. ``He thinks we went to high school together,'' Corkin said. Since 1980, Henry has lived in a nursing home, where he likes to do crossword puzzles. While doctors have treated Henry for a variety of ailments, Corkin said, ``there is no treatment for memory impairment.'' As Kandel said: ``It's hard for us to conceive what he really experiences.'' Waking From A Dream Henry used to travel three times a year to MIT, where scientists conducted experiments on him. But Henry has become frail enough in recent years that the scientists now come to him, Corkin said. When Henry is asked whether he is willing to participate in such studies, he invariably agrees, always saying other people may be helped by such knowledge. Where does that belief come from? ``That's puzzled me, too,'' Gabrieli said. Henry has no way of knowing that the research of the past 50 years has helped people. And such an idea couldn't be planted in his mind because he lacks the parts of his brain necessary to store and retrieve such a suggestion. Gabrieli speculates that Henry might be reaching back to one of his last memories, when Scoville or another doctor might have told him that other epileptics could benefit from the lessons learned from his surgery. So, again and again for the past half-century, Henry has agreed to be the subject of experiments, just as he did before surgery robbed him of his memory. Corkin offers a different explanation: ``I think he was just well brought up.'' Today, Henry is still the subject of experiments, although other amnesiacs with related memory deficits have been discovered and studied. New imaging technologies also have revolutionized the study of memory by allowing scientists to view the brain working in healthy subjects. Yet Henry's life continues to fascinate. ``Whenever I give a talk about H.M., the questions never stop,'' Corkin said. ``The audience asks questions; people come up and ask me questions afterwards. It happens every time. He is a national treasure.'' As the 50th anniversary of the operation approaches, Dr. James Duffy has come to believe that society, which has learned so much from Henry, owes him something more. ``What is my responsibility as a scientist? Is it to just generate knowledge, or is it something else?'' Duffy asked. ``Henry presents us with questions larger than the mechanics of the memory system. We need to understand what he has become in the absence of memory. ``Why is it that we only ask about his memory,'' Duffy said, ``not about who he has become?'' Corkin cautioned against drawing any universal conclusions from Henry's situation. ``Henry is an `n' of one,'' she said, using a mathematical symbol to stress his singularity. ``It is not clear how his experience can generalize to anyone.'' Every moment, as his past disappears into an abyss, Henry asks his own set of questions. ``Right now, I am wondering if I have done or said anything amiss,'' Henry once told a researcher. ``You see, at this moment everything looks clear to me, but what happened just before, that's what worries me. It's like waking from a dream I just don't remember.'' Copyright © 2017, Orlando Sentinel
Tony Martin and English Self-Defense Laws Calling back to a great scene in a classic 80s comedy film: You can’t have a discussion about self-defense in the United Kingdom without gun owners pulling Tony Martin out of their asses, but I often wonder how many gun owners have a deep understanding of the case, and what the facts were surrounding it. To understand why takes a bit of delving into self-defense law in both the UK and US. While I’m far from an expert on these topics, I think I do have enough rudimentary understanding to try to explain the background, and illustrate how the Martin case shows the differences in self-defense laws between the US and the UK. Despite common belief, English self-defense laws have changed little since 1968.  You can see the current law here, which just clarifies the common law in England a bit. Self-defense in the UK can best be described as: For contrast, you can find Pennsylvania’s law here. Pennsylvania justifies the use of force (not deadly force) under limited circumstances, and proscribes the use of deadly force except in extreme and dire circumstances.  American self-defense laws commonly make a distinction between the use of force and the use of deadly force, where as English law attempts to cover the whole spectrum of force through a reasonableness test.  If you use deadly force or force in most of the United States, you will still be subject to a similar reasonableness test, but a jury will be asked whether you acted reasonably, as a reasonable person, in terms of the circumstances under which you acted. In the United Kingdom, the jury will be asked whether the force you used was reasonable. In American law, that’s spelled out more distinctly. Pennsylvania, for instance, allows you to use whatever force is necessary, not  reasonable, though Pennsylvania requires that deadly force is only permitted in certain dire and extreme circumstances. But despite the differences, to the extent that self-defense in danger across the pond, it’s largely because of shifting cultural attitudes away from the use of deadly force in self-defense. If you brought the self-defense laws of England over to the United States, practically speaking not much would change about self-defense, because most Americans believe that using deadly force on a home invader is reasonable, while Englishmen do not embrace the concept to such a great extent anymore. In addition, American jury verdicts require unanimity, whereas English juries do not require it. These factors promote differences in the kinds of cases that will be prosecuted in each of those respective jurisdictions. Prosecutors are going to respond to what they know they will get out of a jury. Practically speaking, even in a state like Pennsylvania, which does not have Castle Doctrine, a prosecutor is going to be reluctant to bring a case of a homeowner shooting a home invader because that case is highly likely to end in acquittal. He will take care to make sure the facts of the case show a serious wrong or error on the part of the actor, more care than his English counterpart, because his English counterpart only has to get 10 out of 12 jury members to believe that the homeowners use of force was out of proportion, and therefore not reasonable. While it’s still theoretically justifiable to use deadly force in self-defense in England, it is much more likely to result in prosecution there, because it’s much more likely to result in conviction. Self-defense has not been eradicated in the UK, but it has been weakened. Changing mores about self-defense are only part of the story. There’s a much larger story at play here, a big part of which is an increasing belief that jury trials themselves are anachronistic and outdated, as has been shown in the recent decision that juries in criminal trials are not strictly necessary in England and Wales. It is in these two contexts that you have to consider the case of Tony Martin. To see details of the case, I would encourage folks to read this appeals ruling in the Marin case. From this you can get a hint of how the English legal system deliberates on the topic of self-defense: So now we have the background on the appeal, whether Martin, who was found guilty of using excessive force against burglars, can be convicted of murder, or is merely guilty of manslaughter. But in the appeal, we have the facts of the case, and from that we can see where Mr. Martin likely got into trouble: When he was interviewed under caution he gave an account to the police officers which was basically similar to that which he gave in evidence. He stated particularly that he wanted to make it clear that when he fired his gun he genuinely thought that his life was in danger. He asserted that he had never got to the bottom of the stairs and had gone no further than was necessary to see into the hallway; that was about as far as he dared to go. He was cross-examined on the basis that his evidence and the account he had given in interview was untrue; that he had heard the two men approaching the house and had readied himself so that by the time they entered the breakfast room he was downstairs, lying in wait in the hall with his gun already loaded; and that he had stepped out into the breakfast room and fired three times with the intention of killing. Mr Martin denied this version; although he acknowledged the effect of the expert evidence about two of the shots at any rate, he insisted that he himself never got below halfway down the stairs, and that when he was interviewed he was clear as to where he had been The problem Martin had was that the forensic evidence the Crown put forward did not match Martin’s statement, but rather matched up with those of the burglars. Two areas of shot damage were found on the far wall of the breakfast room from the door at the foot of the stairs, one below the window out of which the two men exited, and one to its right in a door. All the experts agreed that these two areas of damage were not in the direct line of sight of a person standing anywhere on the stairs, so that the shots that caused that damage could therefore not have been fired from the stairs. Under the circumstances described in this appeal, in many US jurisdictions, prosecutors would still have had statutory legal grounds to bring charges for murder (though there are a number where they would not). But statutory law is not necessarily the law as juries see it, since a jury and a prosecutor aren’t necessarily going to view the same set of circumstances the same way. I’m not certain that Martin would have been prosecuted in the US, because most juries are going to tend to acquit a homeowner for shooting a burglar, let alone two burglars, especially when the actor is an old man, and the burglars young men. I suspect had Martin had better representation from the start, and not given a statement to police without the advice of counsel, he might have been able to escape conviction in England as well. The Martin case isn’t as simple and straightforward as many imagine it to be, but in looking closely at the facts and rulings in the case, you can see clearly how the our respective cultures are parting in their treatment of self-defense. 10 Responses to “Tony Martin and English Self-Defense Laws” 1. Andy says: Up front, I admit to not getting into all the supporting research links. I’ll have to read them tonight, got to get some chores done shortly. But, I did get to scan the Wikipedia article on Tony Martin. From that (and that alone, I admit this is not supported) I gathered that Tony shot the burglars as they were fleeing. Even in Castle Doctrine as defined by most states, would that not be unjustified use of force, due to the alegation that the burglars were fleeing instead of advancing with intent to harm? IANAL, etc. Off to get kids ready for holiday travel. 2. Sebastian says: The one everyone should read is the link to the appeal, which has all the facts of the case. The Wikipedia article doesn’t. 3. Ronnie says: I read a Daily Mail article a few months back about the Tony Martin story. It was an update on the case which was not all that sympathetic toward Mister Martin. The article referred to him as an “eccentric vigilante” and claimed that he now prefers to live in seclusion so that the police will not be able to record a fixed address for him in their records. Here’s a link to this one: 4. Wolfwood says: Minor quibble: criminal jury verdicts in America need not be unanimous. 10/12 has been upheld by the Supreme Court as okay. 5. Turk Turon says: Tony Martin wasn’t a vigilante, but he WAS an eccentric loner, and not a sympathetic defendant. But the worst legal problem he had was the statement he made to the police. Same problem Bernard Goetz had. Ditto Martha Stewart. Don’t talk to the police! 6. FatWhiteMan says: No one in the case disputes the facts that the men were in Mr. Martin’s home to commit a crime. Martin’s home had been robbed several times before and both of these men had long rap sheets. No matter where Martin was standing in his house and no matter when he loaded his gun, there should never have been any charges filed. The only thing the cops should have said after investigating and determining the facts was “thank you for helping us take out the trash, have a pleasant evening”. If blame needs assigned for the death it should fall upon whatever government stooge let the dirtbag out of jail. If they had been serving their sentences for the crimes they had already committed, they wouldn’t have broke into Martin’s farmhouse. Perhaps Great Britain did not err on English law when they convicted Martin but then that is just one more reason why Great Britain is no longer great. 7. Philbert says: “Don’t talk to the police!” FYI, there is no fifth amendment in England. 8. Sebastian says: FYI, there is no fifth amendment in England. There isn’t, but the right to not be a witness against yourself is common law. When you read the account of Martin’s interview, you’ll note the interview being done “under caution” which means the police suspect you may have committed a crime, and they will advise you of your right under those circumstances. Same as here. You can refuse to answer police questions. 9. j huettl says: The old COMMON LAW vs CIVIL LAW and the Legal Eagles playing ROCK PAPER SCISSORS. Common Law..Jury is instructed to find a verdict. Civil Law..Judge tells Jury what it may or may not do and tells the jury how to decide. Common Law…Jury votes once. (If it voted twice, then double jeprody steps in.) Civil Law…Jury votes and votes untill the Judge of the Court is happy with the verdict, if the Judge of the Court is unhappy with the indecision of the JURY, the Judge of the Court will end the Trial with a hung jury and dismiss the case as Without Prejudice allowing the matter to be retried at a later date. 10. Mike says: What a sad, cowardly country Britain has become when people regard defending themselves as a crime. No wonder the world doesn’t take Britain seriously anymore.
Plaza Cinema Field Trips The Plaza is offering a variety of field trips suitable for grade school children to high school adolescents. If you enjoy films and believe this exceptional art form can be a fun and educational tool to teach history, social sciences, natural sciences, languages, art and culture - then partner with The Plaza. By coming to The Plaza students are able to experience the Arthouse Cinema environment and learn about how it differs from the multiplex cinema. Every field trip includes a short presentation on what we do as a not-for-profit, and how we enrich the community culture through film.  SEED: The Untold Story Directed by Jon Betz and Taggart Siegel Featuring Vandana Shiva, Dr. Jane Goodall, Andrew Kimbrell, Winona Laduke, and Raj Patel The Eagle Huntress Directed by Otto Bell Featuring Daisy Ridley, Aisholpan Nurgaiv, Rhys Nurgaiv Persepolis (NR) This uniquely styled graphic novel traces the biographical history of its author, Marjane Satrapi as she depicts her progression from childhood to becoming an adult. Satrapi grew up at a pivotal point in Iranian history, spending her adolescence in the depths of the Islamic revolution. Told from her perspective, she moves back and forth between Iran and Iraq, facing societal clashes, losing loved ones to the revolution, and being consistently separated from her family both physically and in shared ideologies. The non-fiction graphic novel was ranked by Newsweek as the fifth on its list of the best non-fiction books of the last decade. PERSEPOLIS was adapted into a film in 2007, following the same artistic style as the graphic novel, but with some color added. A team of twenty animators were given the task of transforming Satrapi's graphic novel into a moving animation, a project that emphasized traditional animation techniques as well as the capabilities of only using two solid colors (black and white) to achieve depth. In 2007, the film was a co-winner of the Jury Prize at Cannes and nominated for an Oscar. Directed by Marjane Satrapi, Vincent Paronnaud To Kill a Mockingbird In great depression era Alabama young “Scout” comes of age while her father Atticus takes on a racially charged court case. Spanning over about three years of her life, the novel Follows Scout, her father Atticus, and brother Jem through the trials and tribulations of growing up in the Deep South in the 1930s. The Pulitzer prize winning novel was adapted into a film by director Robert Mulligan in 1962, for which he received critical acclaim and several Academy Awards. As a part of the National Film Registry this film remains a symbolic icon of American Culture, much like Harper Lee’s classic novel. Directed By Robert Mulligan Starring Gregory Peck, Mary Badham Academy Award nominee Benedict Cumberbatch (BBC’s Sherlock, The Imitation Game, Frankenstein at the National Theatre) takes on the title role of Shakespeare’s great tragedy. Directed by Lyndsey Turner (Posh, Chimerica) and produced by Sonia Friedman Productions, National Theatre brings this eagerly awaited production live to the cinema screen from its sold-out run at the Barbican. As a country arms itself for war, a family tears itself apart. Forced to avenge his father’s death, but paralyzed by the task ahead, Hamlet rages against the impossibility of his predicament, threatening both his sanity and the security of the state. Directed by Robin Lough Starring Benedict Cumberbatch, Sian Brooke Romeo and Juliet The Kenneth Branagh Theatre Company Live cinema season continues with a new vision of Shakespeare’s heartbreaking tale of forbidden love.

Numerous industries utilize solid metal parts made of powdered metal. Powdered metal components, which are made from powdered metal via powder metallurgy, can be found in applications spanning across industries such as lawn and garden, computer, electronics, hardware, and automotive. More specifically, powder metal parts include magnetic assemblies, filtration systems, structural parts, and automobile components. Powder metal gears are inherently porous and they naturally reduce sound, making them a suitable component to the sintering process. Bearings and bushings can simply be produced by way of sintering, however, they may require a secondary sizing operation because their fabrication leaves little room for error. Powder metal is soft and can be formed in a variety of shapes with proper sintering; however, this variety is very limited. Powder metal is a popular choice of material for parts with magnetic properties, and its magnetism can be enhanced through the sintering process. Two processes can be utilized to make powder metal parts: sintering and metal injection molding. Both of these processes are used to produce powder metal parts made of aluminum, copper, and iron. Sintered metal parts include sintered steel and sintered bronze parts, and they are made by melting metal powder and forming it into a shape. The metal injection molding process involves adding wax, resin, or polymers to powdered metal, heating the mixture to a pliable state, and formed within a mold. Read More… Leading Manufacturers Perry Tool & Research, Inc. Hayward, CA | 510-782-9226 Comtec Mfg., Inc. St. Marys, PA | 814-834-9300 MetalKraft Industries, Inc. Wellsboro, PA | 570-724-6800 Proform Powdered Metals. Inc.. Punxsutawney, PA | 814-938-7411 Powder metallurgy is a process in which metal is formed and fabricated from powder to a finished part. The raw metal material is made into powder by way of atomization, mechanical alloying, electrolytic techniques, chemical reduction, and pulverization. The powder is then mixed with a lubricant, which assists in reducing friction between the powder material and the pressing dies. The next step involves forming, in which the material is molded, forged, or pressed. Sintering is a crucial step in the process, as it develops the products finished properties, such as regulating its porosity and increasing its strength. In the high-temperature process of sintering, the compacted raw materials, also known as green parts, are melted down in a furnace. When the green parts are melted, the particles are bonded together while still retaining the part’s shape. Sometimes, the product requires secondary operations such as machining, deburring, sizing, or heating. The finished parts may appear solid, but they are actually made up of tiny capillaries that are interconnected with each other. Thus, the parts have a porosity of 25%. Sintered metal products have many advantages over parts that are fabricated through other processes. Sintering uses roughly 97% of materials, and therefore does not produce as much waste. Sintered products are not sensitive to the shapes in which they are formed, and they frequently do not need to undergo any secondary operations. Powder metal parts have controlled porosity, enabling them to self-lubricate and filter gases and liquids. Because of all of these benefits, powder metallurgy is a highly recommended process in fabricating parts that require intricate bends, depressions, and projections. A wide variety of composites, alloys, and other materials can be used in the sintering process to fabricate products of numerous designs and shapes. Metal injection molding is a powder metallurgy process which is frequently used to produce metal parts that are smaller, more complex, high density, and high in performance. The process of metal injection combines powder metallurgy and plastic injection molding, and is commonly used for parts used in industries such as electronics, computer, hardware, firearms, dental, medical, and automotive. Metal injection molding allows for more freedom in detailing and design, reduces waste, and offers products that are magnetic, more corrosion-resistant, stronger, and denser. However, this process is only used in making thinner, smaller parts, and is more costly than regular powder metallurgy. Metal injection molding differs in a few ways. First, the metal powder is not only mixed with lubricants, but also with thermoplastics. The parts are only formed by molding using standard plastic injection molding machines. The next step involves using chemicals or thermal energy and an open pore network to remove the thermoplastics from the parts. Finally, the parts are sintered and undergo secondary procedures if necessary. Bronze, steel, iron, brass, copper, and aluminum are just a few of the many metals that can be converted to powder and undergo the metallurgy process. Aluminum is frequently used because it is highly flammable, highly conductive, and light in weight. Aluminum is a popular materials to use in structural applications and pyrotechnics. Copper is highly conductive both electrically and thermally, and are thus popular for use in electrical contractor or heat sink applications. Iron contains a graphite additive and is frequently used to fabricate bearings, filters, and structural parts. Steel is used for tool steel or stainless steel powders, are very high in strength. Thus, one application for which it is frequently used is automobile weight reduction. Finally, bronze is a metal that is higher in density and has a higher mechanical performance than brass, and bronze metal parts are commonly utilized to fabricate self-lubricating bearings.

Mismanagement of Psychotherapy Stephen Barrett, M.D. Psychotherapy can be defined as any type of persuasive or conversational approach designed to help patients. Although there are hundreds of techniques and schools of thought, most have in common a wish to understand the patient and help the patient change emotional or behavioral patterns. Unfortunately, explosive progress in the neurosciences and psychopharmacology and the rise of managed care during have been accompanied by decreased access to highly qualified psychotherapists and minimization of psychotherapy in psychiatric training programs. Treatment Approaches Simplistic Advice A deep understanding of a patient's dynamics may enable a therapist to give beneficial advice. But sometimes therapists give advice without considering the complexity of the patient's situation. Such ill-conceived action may be the result of inadequate training, poor therapeutic technique, or an emotional problem of the therapist. The following composite cases illustrate this point. A 60-year-old businessman complained of insomnia and depression. Worry about his business was keeping him awake. The physician advised him to take a vacation to "get away from it all so you can stop worrying." The man went to a seaside resort but found he could not relax. He thought that his business would suffer from his absence, and idleness merely served to intensify his worrying. A 35-year-old junior executive sought treatment for headaches and abdominal fullness. The physician correctly diagnosed that these were bodily reactions to tension, which was generated primarily at work. The patient believed he was being asked to do more than his share but was afraid to speak up about it. The physician encouraged the man to express his resentment, but failed to discuss how to do this in a constructive manner. The patient "told off" his boss and quit in a huff-a decision he later regretted. A middle-aged couple who consulted a counselor spent the first two sessions berating each other for one thing after another. Seeing only the hostility in the relationship, the counselor advised them to get a divorce. A more qualified therapist would have realized that they could not have remained together for many years without a positive side to their relationship. The therapist should have terminated the verbal slugfest, explored the positive aspects of the relationship, identified the issues in conflict, and tried to help the couple resolve them. A 30-year-old housewife sought help to understand why she became angry with important people in her life, particularly her husband. The therapist encouraged discussion of her childhood, analyzed similarities between her father and her husband, and said: "You get angry with your husband when he reminds you of your father." Feeling that this information justified her resentment, the patient acted more nastily toward her husband, and their relationship deteriorated. Actually, the marital situation had been far more complex than the therapist realized. He should have explored the patient's contribution to the marital friction and helped her learn better ways to handle her feelings. Joint sessions with the patient and her husband might have helped the therapist understand the situation better. Boundary Violations Psychotherapy should not only help patients resolve problems but, in most cases, should also help foster independence from the therapist. Just as children must learn to handle situations without always running to their mother, patients must learn to handle upset feelings between sessions without the direct help of the therapist. Therapists who permit or encourage frequent telephone calls encourage overdependence. Therapists who receive many such calls from many patients are likely to have an underlying problem, such as a neurotic need to have people depend on them, which impairs their ability to treat patients. A more subtle example of this problem is the therapist who cannot adhere to a schedule. Patients are scheduled for particular times, but sessions are allowed to run considerably overtime when patients are upset or appear to be talking about particularly meaningful material. Although an occasional brief extension may be justified, a general policy of this type encourages patients to manipulate the therapist to gain more attention. Other signs that a therapist is improperly crossing the patient-therapist boundary include: You should also be wary of therapists who promote simplistic notions about the cause of their patient's problems. Some therapists, for example, conclude—regardless of the presenting problem—that most or all of their patients are suffering from repressed memories of sexual abuse or are suffering from multiple personality disorder. Another simplistic notion is the idea—commonly portrayed in the media—that childhood traumas are an excuse for antisocial behavior. Sexual Exploitation The most malignant type of therapist behavior is probably sexual exploitation. Although it is not unusual for therapist and patient to feel a personal or physical attraction toward each other, acting on such feelings is not therapeutic. A composite case history illustrates what can happen: An unmarried 27-year-old woman entered therapy to overcome shyness, feelings of inadequacy, and fear of involvement with men. Few men had seemed interested in her, and she had rarely dated. As therapy proceeded, she developed an intense fondness for the therapist, based largely on the fact that he was the first man who had spent time with her on a regular basis. At this point, instead of helping her learn how to attract suitable dates, the therapist suggested that sex with him would help her become more comfortable with men. She consented, hoping that marriage to the therapist would result. Her eventual disillusionment was a shattering experience that led to suicide. Nearly all psychiatrists believe that sexual contact with a patient is inappropriate and usually harmful. Several states have laws forbidding such contact. In some states it is a criminal offense, while in others it is considered malpractice and can lead to a loss of license. In 1990, a California jury awarded $1.5 million to a woman who said she had been exploited by a psychiatrist who had treated her. Testimony during the trial indicated that they had begun dating after almost two years of treatment. The patient said that although she was extremely happy during the beginning of their affair, she became severely depressed when it ended. In 1993, the American Psychiatric Association's board of trustees declared that "sexual activity with a current or former patient is unethical." [1-3] However, boundary violations do not have to involve sex [4-7]. In 2013, the Pennsylvania State Board of Psychology revoked the licencse of R. Scott Lenhardt, Ph.D. after concluding that he had sexually exploited two female patients, one for nearly seven years and the other for fifteen years. The case illustrates the extent to which sexual exploitation claimed to be "therapy" can develop. 1. The Principles of Medical Ethics with Annotations Especially Applicable to Psychiatry.

What to Do If Your Pilot Light Goes Out January 19, 2017 Pilot lights are commonly found on older model furnaces, and while they serve a very important purpose, also pose a safety hazard in the event they should go out. Instructions on how to relight the pilot light are typically found affixed to the appliance itself, or in the original owner’s manual. Knowing what to do if your pilot light goes out, and when to call for service or repair, can help keep your home and family safe and comfortable throughout heating season. Contact Rick’s Heating & Cooling for assistance, or around the clock emergency repair in the event you are unable to keep the flame lit or if you have any other questions or concerns with your heating or cooling system. How Does A Pilot Light Work? A number of components work together in older model furnaces, to maintain the flow of natural gas to the appliance as needed. When heat is called for and the furnace turns “on,” a valve releases gas to the main burner, and the pilot light ignites the gas. This small, blue, perpetually burning flame is created when a small amount of gas is channeled through a small tube in the gas pipe. In the event that the pilot light should blow out, the tube has a valve which, when shut off by the thermocouple, stops the flow of gas to prevent it from building up in side your home. What Causes A Pilot Light To Go Out? There are a number of reasons why your pilot light may blow out. Some you may be able to rectify yourself, while others require the services of a professional. • Draft. A sudden or steady rush of air can easily blow out the standing pilot light. Once it is relit, check the surrounding area for the source of a draft to prevent it from reoccurring. • Dirty pilot orifice. If, upon reigniting the pilot light, the flame burns a weak yellow instead of blue, the pilot orifice may be dirty. Call Rick’s Heating & Cooling for professional service. What Should You Do If Your Pilot Light Goes Out? The pilot light controls, assembly, and instructions for lighting, are typically located at the front of the unit for easy access. If you are unable to locate the manufacturers instructions, general instructions are as follows: 1. Locate the pilot light assembly, including the gas valve with “On,” “Off,” and “Pilot” settings, and pilot reset button 2. Rotate the valve to the “Off” position, and wait several minutes 3. Rotate the valve to the “Pilot” position, and hold a barbecue lighter or long match to the pilot opening while pushing the pilot reset button. 4. Keep the button pressed until the flame is lit and burning strongly, then release and turn the gas valve to the “On” position. 5. In the event the flame will not remain lit, rotate the gas valve to the “Off” position and call for service. Emergency Furnace Repair In Morrow, OH The skilled technicians at Rick’s Heating & Cooling can provide expert assistance with all your heating concerns, including issues with your pilot light.

The Job of an In-Home Nurse The Job of an In-Home Nurse In home nursing is a form of nursing where patients get treatment right in their own homes. Some nurses will actually live with their patients in a separate room of the house, and others will visit on a frequent basis to administer medicine and provide general care for people. The job of an in-home nurse is much different than the job of a nurse in the public job sector. Both may have to fill out an RN report sheet, but there is still a big difference in the work at the end of the day. Here is a look at what a private nurse like this may do. In-home nurses get to know their patients on an intimate level. They work with the same person or people on a regular basis and keep accurate track of their medical information. The work of an in-home nurse is similar to that of a public nurse in terms of the overall care, and in-home nurses still have to write an RN report sheet for their own reference in the future. This sheet also assists other nurses who may have to come in on the original caregiver’s day off. In many ways, homebound nurses turn into mentors and friends for their parents. Rather than working with many different people day in and day out, they work with the same people and can therefore develop deeper relationships with them. Some patients have the same nurse for years at a time, and at that point the patient and nurse almost turn into family. The patient is more than just a case on an RN report sheet at that point. He or she is a loved one that gets even better care because of the emotions behind the relationship. In-home nurses tend to get paid more money than other nurses because of the specialized care they provide. If they are actually live-in nurses, they may have their lodging paid for to accommodate their needs. In home nurses can still lead normal lives outside of work, but they have to be more dedicated to their patients and their special needs. A nurse that does not live in a home with someone may care for more than one patient at a time, but it all depends on the duties they have. You can look into private opportunities like this in your area if you feel that they are right for you. This entry was posted in RN Report Card. Bookmark the permalink.

How True Capitalism Kills Racism Bigotry carries a cost. For decades, agitators aligned with the Democratic Party have argued that the only way to right the "historic wrong" of slavery is to enforce affirmative action - that is, to give unearned preferences to blacks or other minorities simply because they are black or minority.  The thought is that, because black people were oppressed for hundreds of years primarily because of their skin color, it's only right for them to enjoy the opposite treatment for a while. As we've discussed before, this notion flies in the face of anything resembling ordinary justice or ethics.  Yes, slavery was a terrible wrong, but the slaveowners are all dead and so are all the slaves.  Today's black people never suffered under slavery or even Jim Crow save for a few elderly; today's white people overwhelmingly have never participated in official bigotry.  Why should the innocent be punished for the betterment of the never-harmed? Let us set aside the philosophical arguments against affirmative action, for there's an even better reason not to do it: It does not work.  Decades of official discrimination have merely made matters worse, as a few nights' viewing of TV news amply demonstrates. Does this make the cause of racial justice a hopeless one?  Actually, no.  There is a proven means of achieving equality of liberty, which was fought for by early civil rights leaders like Frederick Douglass and Booker T. Washington, but has been forgotten by today's venal, race-baiting leeches. What's more, it's been accidentally tried in powerfully racist environments far worse than anything we see today.  This magic elixir was so effective at destroying discrimination that the racists had to legally ban it. This magic wand?  Free and open capitalism. The Power of Cheap Consider a fair-sized town in the Jim Crow South, one large enough to have several competing stores of major types.  No doubt the main street would contain a store run by a bigot, offering goods "For Whites Only."  He'd have a good business selling to other bigots. In the South, however, at least a third of the population was black.  By refusing to serve an entire race, this bigot shrank his potential market by a third. Now consider another greedy, bigoted individual.  In this case, his greed outweighs his bigotry: he doesn't like black people either, but he can't resist the color of their money.  Unlike his competitor, his store is willing to serve blacks. This lesser bigot may accept black customers, but he doesn't like them; he may treat them rudely.  In a town of any size, though, there's bound to be another store run by someone who acts polite to customers of any color.  Where will the black people shop?  At the store that a) is willing to deal with them and b) that treats them like human beings - obviously. The bottom line?  There is a significant business advantage to a store owner who does not discriminate against customers and who treats everyone well.  Over time, the non-racist businessman will do better than the racist one. This advantage isn't just seen with customers.  It's even more powerful with employees. Like anything else, employment is subject to the laws of supply and demand.  If there are more workers available, wages go down; fewer workers around, and they go up. A business which refuses to hire blacks has cut itself off from a fair-sized pool of potential employees.  The laws of economics dictate that the employees it does hire will, on average, be paid more than if the pool were not artificially restricted. Again, over time, the non-bigoted business will have higher profit margins, lower prices, better employees, or some combination of the three than the bigoted one; naturally, more and more customers will gravitate to it as their greed overpowers their bigotry.  Each bigot will suffer the penalty of his own folly, with no government intervention whatsoever. This all sounds nice in theory, but does it work in practice?  Yes, it does. The Flawed Economics of Racism If the South was as racist as generally portrayed, why were the Jim Crow laws necessary?  After all, if all the white folks were racist, they wouldn't want to do business with blacks anyway.  No legal requirements would be required. No, the laws were put into place by powerful racists who were being undercut by thopse who acted non-bigoted just as described here.  The only way to make bigotry pay is to make it the law of the land, enforced upon all equally whether they want it or not. The apartheid South African government had the same problem.  The racist authorities fought a constant running battle against companies and employers who wanted to save money by hiring blacks who were just as skilled as whites to fill jobs that were "reserved" for whites.  This didn't apply merely to janitors or line management; as the Washington Post reported in an obituary a few years back: Hamilton Naki, a former gardener who was so skilled in complicated surgery that he helped in the world's first human heart transplant -- but had to keep this secret in apartheid South Africa -- died May 29 at his home near Cape Town. He had heart- and asthma-related problems. He was in his seventies. "He has skills I don't have," Dr. Christiaan Barnard, who performed the heart operation, told the Associated Press in 1993. "If Hamilton had had the opportunity to perform, he would have probably become a brilliant surgeon." Barnard asked Mr. Naki to be part of the backup team in what became the world's first successful heart transplant, in December 1967. This was in violation of the country's laws on racial segregation, which, among other things, dictated that blacks should not be given medical training nor work in whites-only operating theaters nor have contact with white patients.  [emphasis added] The first heart transplant recipient, Louis Washkansky, received extra days of life thanks to Mr. Naki's illegal skill.  What's more important societally, though, is that the hospital received decades of services from a brilliant surgeon for the price of a gardener - Mr. Naki's role had to be hidden from the authorities until the end of apartheid. It was only because of the law that Mr. Naki was not able to practice medicine publicly, but he was able to perform surgery on a white person in what was supposedly the most racist society on Earth!  Money trumped dogma; money trumped bigotry, in this case and in how many more lesser-known ones! - money trumped the law.  It usually does.  Funny about that. Time's Up for Legal Racism The evil laws of Jim Crow died decades ago, and far more evil slavery long before that.  Today, we suffer under the less vicious but still damaging racism of affirmative action. It's easy to understand why: it's in the interests of powerful racists like Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton to continue to con black Americans into believing that they're being kept down by "The Man."  They are, but not by the white man; today's white men and women couldn't care less what color you are if you do the work well for a decent price, as witness the hordes of illegal Mexican immigrants doing all manner of things for low pay under the table. No, America's blacks are being kept down by self-appointed black leaders who've managed to get put in place an insidious system that promotes the incompetent and devalues the competent.  This is bad for competent blacks who don't get the respect they deserve; bad for incompetent blacks who perpetuate old stereotypes; bad for other races who see their rightful jobs go to less qualified members of preferred races; and bad for America because it makes us hate and fear each other. The blunt hand of government is no solution to our racial problems; it only makes problems worse.  Government can and must only be entirely color-blind in every way; in a free society, no governmental preference or discrimination based on race can be tolerated. Then, let's trust to the invisible hand of the market to take care of racist bigotry.  It works wherever it's tried, even where it's not welcome.  The only trouble is, that wouldn't empower or enrich our greedy elites who can't stand competent competition. Reader Comments The men and women in government, those with a little power and are called "The Government" want the hate and fear to continue. Al Sharpton, Jesse Jackson, Barry Soetoro, Louis Farakhan, and their like, need the hate and fear so that they can continue to collect "checks in the mail" money from the people who think the hate and fear comes from someone other than the likes of Reverend Wright. Thank you, Robert Walker June 13, 2011 10:25 AM This is good: June 13, 2011 10:31 AM I think this article makes a lot of sense. I agree with the general theme, and agree to a large extent. However, I have lived in the south. Louisiana in the 1960, and then deep southern Georgia, Thomasville from 2003 until 2008. From personal experience I can tell you that the "Plantation mentality" still dominates there. Not only is the racism deep and still powerful, but the entire 'serf/class' social structure is still prevalent. The natives to the area may be polite and all smiles on the surface, but they are a deeply traumatized people, still longing for antibellum heritage, still deeply racist against any but whites. They are in effect still fighting the Civil War. One has to live there and become close with these people before it comes out. Perhaps in another ten generations this will fade away--but it certainly hasn't yet. June 13, 2011 11:41 AM Where these people such strong racists that they wouldn't buy from a black merchant who had the best goods? Or were there no black vendors around? June 13, 2011 12:33 PM There was only one "black merchant" in the town, a fried chicken lunch place at the end of town. It had a good business--proving Petrarch economic theory. There were of course hard core Dixienuts that wouldn't be caught dead there. The racism was subtle from the outside...they would refer to blacks as "Democrats" {Lol}, but in more private conversations with people you knew well the N-word would flow like a Mark Twain novel. June 13, 2011 1:10 PM Saw this via Reddit and had to respond though I shouldn't waste my time on you racist <expletive deleted>. Since it's obvious I have to teach Affirmative Action 101, here's the FACTS you need to know about it before applying your perception to it. Because as with anything, if a debate is to happen, all parties need to at least have a basic understanding of it. You believe that the whole point of affirmative action is to give jobs to people who do not have the credentials to get them otherwise. Affirmative Action does not give jobs to unqualified people. It gives jobs to EQUALLY qualified minorities to offset the bias and discrimination inherent in hiring practices. Some facts: Whites hold over ninety percent of all the management level jobs (these are the people who do the hiring) in this country (1) Whites receive about 94% of government contract dollars (2) Whites hold 90% of tenured faculty positions on college campuses (3) White men with only a high school diploma are more likely to have a job than black and Latino men with college degrees (5) - just to translate this into idiot-speak, this means that lesser qualified white men are more likely to have a job than black and Latino men with college degrees. How anyone could know this information and STILL RAIL AGAINST affirmative action is beyond me. It's either a profound ignorance of the actual data that illustrates why affirmative action is so important, or it is a blatantly racist belief that despite these facts, minorities aren't as deservince as whites. Either way it nauseates me that so many white folks are so ignorant of the data, yet they constantly think their opinion on affirmative action actually makes sense. Most whites who have your opinion watched American History X, heard Ed Norton's fathers speech about affirmative action at the dinner table, and thinks it makes total sense! Well, it does if you don't know a <expletive deleted> thing about the data behind affirmative action. Next time you want to have an opinion about something, try having an educated opinion and read a <expletive deleted> book first.

Isn't it rather a quick off hand 'pre-judgment'on your part? You are part of a counter social engineering operation, it would therefore be educational on your part to understand social engineering on a larger frame. The heat of your post tells me that you don't have such a larger perspective. Part of what you fail to comprehend is the way inwhich affirmative action has been put to work has been as a purposeful divide and conquer operation by the High Cabal, using the Hegelian dialectic. This is a deep subject, one that you no doubt fail to grasp, as you have been so quick to throw out the term "racist" and to flame with your <expletive deleted><expletive deleted><expletive deleted>, showing an emotional attatchment and a lack of rhetorical skill. You have valid points, ones that you have now wasted by this jejune attack on perhaps would be converts to some of your points. June 13, 2011 1:57 PM ~Rod Serling's closing narration for, the Twilight Zone episode, "The Monsters Are Due On Maple Street". June 13, 2011 2:09 PM "This magic wand? Free and open capitalism."~Petrarch This is a huge and complex debate, the actual meaning of 'Capitalism'. Technically "capitalism" is making money off of money. It has nothing to do with trading money for goods in place of barter. The Capitalists are the bankers and the speculators, not the merchants. The US is considered a 'Capitalist Society' because of its banking and trade in stocks and bonds on Wall Street. This is the engine that runs the 'capitalism' aspect of the economy. The use of fiat currency by the merchants does not make them 'capitalist', they remain merchants until they too join in on the casino that is 'Capitalism'. 'Capital' means 'money'--in this instance that is the fiat currency borrowed from the Federal Reserve--a private corporation. Very few have any deep understanding of money in the US, as very few have any deep understanding of history, because this is a Public Relations Regime run by the High Cabal, and what is taught is simply a mythos to keep everyone ignorant and divided. June 13, 2011 5:44 PM So Sansdiety...from your post...I am not sure what to take away from it....are you advocating equal rights or extra rights? Because I am really confused. Here are some mantras I want you to incorporate into your thought the next time you try to make a counter point, you do not come off as some true believer....(you can never have a discussion with a true believer) (1) Correlation is not causation (2) Absence of evidence, is not evidence of absence. (3) You attract more flies with honey than vinegar, so make your points accordingly (calling people racists... Perhaps there are more white people are applying for jobs...I mean there are more white it makes sense that there would be more OF THEM in the workplace. Perhaps in white culture you are not considered a chump, sucker, oreo, a "sell out to the man" or an "uncle tom" for wanting to get a job. I would be curious to your insight on the NBA and the hip-hop music industry then. I see the ranks of the whites, native americans, and asians grossly under represented in those fields. June 13, 2011 7:14 PM His/her moniker, "Sansdiety" would seem an attempt at sansdeity, which would say a lot about his view of theologhy as well...unless he/she is without a diet...which would be quite thin in itself. All of the "<expletive deleted>" was 'clever' though, reminded me of the Nixon Tapes transcriptions. A hit and run driver no doubt. June 13, 2011 8:50 PM All very interesting, although none of that proves racism from the information that you presented, granted I did not look into the details of the studies which may indeed prove racism, there are simply alternative explanations that could result in those statistics. All of that data however is in no way related to the argument presented in the article. At no point did the article attempt to argue that racism does not exist in the world. Therefore arguing that racism exists is arguing an agreed upon premise. That premise being that racism does exist. Secondly I saw nothing in the article that can be described as racist. Racism is the belief that a person is less good, intelligent, ect due to ones race. The article in fact is the opposite of racist. It states that if given an even playing field blacks would show themselves too be equal in ability. The point of the article which you seem to have missed is that only through equality of law can one achieve equality of society. Inequality of law, in either direction, causes resentment and, eventually, hatred. It goes on to argue that inequality of society between races can be broken down by simple greed. People that are actively racist will lose economically to those that are passively racist and those that aren't racist. Once that happens racist people, both active and passive, will be around blacks that are earning their way in life on their own. They can no longer believe that the blacks are only there because of legal support. They will be forced to confront the fact that blacks are capable of earning their way equally well as whites. Thereby slowly decreasing racism until it is a thing of the past. Under the current systems many blacks believe they are owed something and that whites are holding them down. This results in many blacks not believing that they can not succeed. Which causes many blacks to not try as hard, after all why play if you can't win. Those blacks that do succeed are seen by many whites as having gained an unfair advantage. This causes many whites to see their opportunity as being stolen from them, not due to superior ability but rather due to legal favoritism. Thereby perpetuating the belief of white superiority by many whites as they see data showing blacks failing, in their eyes, despite of unfair legal protection. It may feel good to 'do something' about inequality but as with so many well intended actions it frequently only makes things worse. June 13, 2011 9:21 PM Thomas Sowell, a black columnist, wrote: June 13, 2011 9:55 PM jonyfries, very good comment. It seems it can be summed up with that old saw. The road to Hell is paved with good intentions." I would add that the road signs on that road are often purposely manipulated by those who fawn good intentions, misdirecting those who do have good intentions. These people are often called 'politicians', and most politicians are lawyers, and most of these lawyers have connections with bankers, and that it is the bankers banker that has been seen as the hand that holds the strings to this whole system. June 14, 2011 12:24 AM "Third World countries are poorer today than they were when they were ruled by Western countries, generations ago."~Fred Pray tell, what thrid world nation today is not still under the grip of Neo-Colonialism? In fact what nation of any sort is not ruled by BIS, IMF, and the global financial oligarchy? The ballance of an indigenous culture, once fragmented and spun out of control by Malthusian attack can never right itself again, while the present paradigm is maintained. June 14, 2011 11:14 PM So Willie, you think that global poverty in places like Africa which were once colonized is the fault of the Westyern powers who did the colonizing? That if they'd been left alone, they'd be rich today? June 14, 2011 11:53 PM "That if they'd been left alone, they'd be rich today?" "Rich"? By what standard? Western materialist standards? A rich and fulfilling life of ballance and sanity, is not what I see in the empire the west has created. I would note that this pathological system is about to explode in your face. Good luck when the proverial fit hits the shan. June 15, 2011 12:15 AM Despite the joy that people take in thinking about 'what might have been's, there is no way to know what Africa would be like today with European colonization. All that we can be certain of is that Africa is different than it otherwise would have been. It does not matter if Africa would have been better or not. History followed a different course, instead of finding long dead persons to blame worry about the future and how we move from the present to a more equal and prosperous future. June 15, 2011 10:17 AM jonyfries, Africa is not in anyway free of western colonialism yet even today. All the worlds nations today are still under the grip of Noe-Colonialism.All ruled by BIS, IMF, and the global financial oligarchy. This is the NOW point you urge us to look at. History isn't dead, it is sitting heavily on everyone of our shoulders. June 15, 2011 12:30 PM A point on REAL HISTORY, and the architecture of modern political power, compared to the lollipop history in textbooks and entertainment: A Study in the Hegemony of Parasitism By Eustace Mullins 1984 [small portion] It explains the secret writing of the Federal Reserve Act by Paul Warburg of Kuhn, Loeb & Co., and the even more secret deals which caused it to be enacted into law by Congress. It explains how the United States could fight World War I with Paul Warburg in charge of its banking system through the vice chairmanship of the Federal Reserve Board; Bernard Baruch as dictator of American industry as Chairman of the War Industries Board; and Eugene Meyer financing the war through his position as chairman of the War Finance Corporation (printing government bonds in duplicate); Kuhn, Loeb partner Sir William Wiseman with Col. House correlated British and American intelligence operations; Kuhn, Loeb partner Lewis L. Strauss was acting head of the U.S. Food Administration under Herbert Hoover. Meanwhile, Paul’s brother, Max Warburg, headed the German espionage system; another brother was German commercial attache in Stockholm, traditional listening post for warring nations, and Jacob Schiff had two brothers in Germany who were financing the German war effort. It was a classic case of a “managed conflict”, with the Rothschilds manipulating both sides from behind the scenes. At the Versailles Peace Conference, Bernard Baruch was head of the Reparations Commission; Max Warburg, on behalf of Germany, accepted the reparations terms, while Paul Warburg, Thomas Lamont and other Wall Street bankers advised Wilson and the Dulles brothers on how “American” interests should be handled at this all-important diplomatic conference. June 15, 2011 8:24 PM Well, as a South African, I feel obliged to stick an oar in here. I'm afraid to say that this article totally misunderstands how South Africa operated, and misunderstands racism generally. Racism isn't just a "bad thought"; it's a tool, a mechanism for justifying exploitation. Pretty much all whites in South Africa ate food prepared by black people, lived in houses built by black people, used products made by black people, shopped in stores staffed by black, and had black maids and servants in their homes. With the exception of a tiny minority of radical Afrikaaners who wanted an all-white society, total separation was not the goal, economic exploitation was. Getting a heart surgeon for the price of a gardner wasn't a failure of apartheid, that was the whole point. And the reason he was barred from being actually employed as heart surgeon was precisely so that he would stay cheap. Basically this argument is complete bollocks, but as it is accompanied by the description of the likes of Sharpton as "powerful racists", I don't think the author of this "article" is really much interested in reality. It makes a bogus argument and draws a bogus conlusion right out of the stock material used by apologists for racism. Petrarch, whoever you are, you would have been right at home in apartheid South Africa. Everyone one of the arguments you've deployed about how blacks are being kep down by black leaders was used by the old National Party state. Capitalism is not the enemy of racism, it is it's ally and partner. South Africa was an extremely capitalist state; it had no public health and very limited social services, for example. And apartheid was just a method for suppressing labour costs. South Africa was just a compressed version of the same exploitative relationship that exists between thre West and the Third World today. June 16, 2011 4:50 PM Well now, this is interesting indeed. But we need to understand where you're coming from in order to evaluate your argument, and I'm frankly a bit suspicious. For one thing, are you arguing that Sharpton is not powerful? Or that he's not a racist? He's not powerful compared to (say) Obama himself, but he's pretty darn influential compared to you or me. At the very least, he gets an audience whenever he pleases. And you've totally ignored Petrarch's primary argument: OF COURSE apartheid was racist, it was the LAW, put in place by racists for the purpose of exploiting blacks. Just like Jim Crow. Yes, the heart surgeon was exploited - but that was possible ONLY because he was legally repressed. If the racist laws weren't there, his skills would have been bid over and his compensation would have wound up where it properly belonged, along with anyone else's willing to work and improve themselves. In both apartheid South Africa and the Jim Crow South, it wasn't illegal for blacks to work - they were expected to. It was simply illegal, explicitly or implictly, for them to hold any jobs above the most menial. Nothing capitalistic about that. In fact, it's the epitome of socialist exploitation, forcing people to work for the benefit of others without proper negotiated compensation. June 16, 2011 5:08 PM Sharpton is not a racist. That claim is simply absurd polemic. I have not ignored Petrarch's argument in any respect. It is absolutely true that if Mr Naki had been an equal citizen of the state he would have been economically better off. But you're missing the point: that fact that he WAS discriminated against was not only perfectly viable within the capitalist system, but that system actively benefitted from it. In exactly the same way that it benefits from poverty wages in the Third World today to produce cheap products for Western consumers. Furthermore, Petrarchs argument goes further, asserting that capitalism is inhenrently antagonistic to the sort of repression exhibited by apartheid. But this is not true, because although it did mean that white workers were paid much more, that didn't really matter because there were so many black workers. Overall, capitalism thrived because apartheid reduced labour costs; all that money paid as high wages to white workers was simply cycled back to the companies in return for the products manufactured on the cheap by black labour. The companies made fat profits; the white workers lived relatively high lifestyles; the only people who suffered were the blacks, and seeing as they couldn't vote that didn't matter. It was a win-win system for capitalism. There was no demand by capitalist activists or agitators to dispose of apartheid, that was totally driven by the socialist Left. Contrary to your final claim, it is not socialism that is an exploitative system, but capitalism. Socialists regard everyone has having due right to the product of their labour, while capitalism transfers ownership of that product to the provider of capital. Advocates of capitalism were the heart and soul of the apartheid system. Don't forget that South Africa was originally Dutch colony, and that the Dutch were amongst the earliest and most zealous exponents of capitalism. South African state was absolutely committed to capitalism in theory and practice, and at no point did this ever translate into a hostility to apartheid. Indeed it regarded itself, more or less correctly, as one of the hot zones in the Cold War between capitalism and communism. Petrarch's argument is just plain wrong. I am a Marxist, and proudly so, and it was seeing capitalism exposed for what it really was in Soth Africa that made me so. Capitalism is nothing more than systematic exploitation, and apartheid was merely one of the its tools. June 16, 2011 5:39 PM @SharpFish said: "Sharpton is not a racist. That claim is simply absurd polemic" Surely you jest. Here's an overview on Sharpton's (recent) racism: That should get you started. June 16, 2011 5:43 PM And 'round and 'round goes the Left/Right carousel...ridiculous fairytale BS--both Marxism and Capitalism. One who gets to the bottom of the history of this realizes that "Capitalism" created "Marxism" as the 'Controlled Opposition'. SharpFish should look into Milner and Rhodes, and the "conservatives" here should equally--as well as to the machinations of the Rothschild interlink with the Rockefellers in the Anglo-fication of the Eastern Establishment in the US. While you people throw stones at one another the High Cabal is sewing up the loose ends of their global gulag, where it matters not what color you are--you all end up slaves. June 16, 2011 6:21 PM Michelle Malkin is a raging lunatic, and while you can take exception to some of what Sharpton says, to describe it as "racist" is to abuse the term. And indeed it is a matter of substantial irony that you should call on anything by Malkin as if she had any kind of credible position on racism, given her support for apartheid in Israel. I know I'm not going to make any headway here because I know that this is really just a case of blaming the victim, and those of you who are committed to it aren't going to be persuaded by anything I say. But I will point out that exactly the same charges were levelled at Nelson Mandela, for example, and so as far as I'm concerned this is just a standard set of apologia for bigotry. And I'm not at all surprised that this article has attracted such apologists, as that's basically what it was for. But I don't have to stand by and let the reality of South Africa be exploited for that purpose. You do not have the right to hijack our history and distort it to fit some odious right wing agenda. June 16, 2011 6:30 PM Netanyahu's Rabbi charged with raping 12-year-old girl Now if this does not reflect on Nutenyahoo's character—How do you atone for the charges against the Kenyan for his association with Reverend Wright? June 16, 2011 6:35 PM It is ludicrous, and would be laughable if the issues weren't at a critical point, that neither the Left nor the Right has a reasonable responce to the questions and assertions outside of their mainstream boxes. Both the "Right" lunatics here, and the "Left" passerbys that happen onto the sight have the same reaction...their eyes roll back in their sockets and their brains flatline. Of course this will mean that the real crisis, that of the global elite agenda will hit both of these 'sides' as an utter surprise, even though it is happening in plain sight. What? Do you actually believe the economy is crashing by mistake? By incompetence? The cynical "we won't do it again," is a bit of a stretch. Don't you think? Don't you think? That seems to need repeating here... June 16, 2011 7:16 PM "I am a Marxist, and proudly so" No point in arguing with someone who is "proudly" Marxist. They are either too incompetent to understand the argument or too evil to care. He said he was Marxist. Debate over, he lost. June 16, 2011 7:39 PM Ben, that is a simpleton's non-argument. Now you both "lost". June 16, 2011 7:45 PM You're right of course. Anyone that is proudly Marxist and believes that Capitalism is the *cause* of racism is hopeless. But it's fun to yank their chain and watch them fumble around. June 16, 2011 7:47 PM Being proudly Marxist is like being proudly flat-earther. And yes, those idiots still exist too: If you're proud of something that is a universal failure, only life itself can convince you otherwise. So we'll wait and let life change DullFish's mind. June 16, 2011 7:50 PM You "conservatives" here are the Synthesis. Synthetic, plastic, immitation, not real. Such is life within a false paradigm. June 16, 2011 8:26 PM And yet you stay, Willy, and continue to convince us of our ignorance and "false paradigms" over and over again. So what does that make you? Lonely, I guess. Give it up. The intelligence of this community is far higher than the normal dregs that you're used to brainwashing. Move along. Sites like InfoWars exist for people just like you. June 16, 2011 8:29 PM Fishy, you clearly don't understand either Marxism or capitalism. "Under capitalism, man exploits man. Under Marxism, the opposite is true." What's more, capitalism and Marxism/socialism are not a black/white dichotomy, they are a continuum. There was nothing whatsoever free-market-capitalistic about either apartheid or Jim Crow, because they were legal interference in the free market: they prevented certain individuals (black people) from freely offering whatever goods or services they wished to provide, and prevented their customers from freely purchasing them. Nothing free about that market - an unfree market was the whole POINT. Obviously there were free market aspects to the old South Africa, such as between white people. There are also free market aspects of Communist China, pretty significant ones, just as there are increasingly Marxist aspects of the increasingly controlled and regulated American economy. Neither are purely free market or purely Marxist; they are passing each other in opposite directions. But to the extent that apartheid and Jim Crow interfered in the ability of free individuals of whatever race to participate in whatever economic transactions they freely chose to do, they were ANTI-free-market. June 16, 2011 8:31 PM "The intelligence of this community is far higher than the normal dregs that you're used to brainwashing."~twibi "Intelligence" is what you call it aye twibi? No, hardly "lonely," I have a blog, we share in our ideas like those of you here. But I find "preaching to the choir," is not enough. You would be a fish out of water on any other site without your backup squad. And the only "argument" I ever get is the same zip/nothing you just laid on me. Why, because you have no valid counter. So you want me to leave you alone. The obvious ignorance of the architecture of modern political power is obvious here. That is the reason you can only counter "the Left." You have no overview of both the left and the right. Naivete is not innocence. And going along to get along is fine... ..until you get where they are taking you. That destination lies straight ahead. I guarantee you aren't going to like it. You can puff yourselves up with your false bravado until then. You won't have the luxury of saying you were not warned. June 16, 2011 8:47 PM When every question put on the table comes down to a Left/Right dogfight, or a Demoskunk/Repukelikan tango, it is obvious that the divide and conquer scheme of the oligarchs ruling this nation is working like a charm. It's like reading the rantings of Pavlovian dogs. The Petro-Dollar is dying a slow death. With its disappearance will come the Third World to the United States.~Jim Willie David Rockefeller, Memoirs, page 405 June 16, 2011 11:09 PM Although many fail to realize it, all is not well in Wonderland. Most are still lulled by TV and mindless entertainment, whizzbang gadgetry, and delusional mantras of “recovery”... Meanwhile on the croquette lawn, shock and awe austerity rises in the purple face of the enraged Red Queen. When this austerity finally bursts the over inflated bubble of some 1 and a half Quadrillion dollars, will you keep your head?

You guys are so living in the past, and the really funny part is that you are so oblivious to the fact. Patience wrote: Patience, I understand them both extremely well. Where you make your mistake is here: CAPITALISM ITSELF is anti-free market. Because it systematically appropriates the product of labour from those who produce. Capitalism is not an expression of human freedom, it is a system of exploitative class rule. The fact that apartheid and Jim Crow could work so well with capitalism absolutely confirm this. There is absolutely nothing in capitalism which contributes to human liberty or autonomy. Capitalist ideology just uses "free market" as a slogan for the untramelled right of capitalists to exploit labour. Both apartheid and Jim Crow assisted in that exploitation and were therefore perfectly in line with capitalism. If you want a real free market, a society of free people, freely trading, and freely entering into voluntary transactions, the first thing you need to do is kill capitalism. What you in fact need is a communist mode of production. June 17, 2011 6:08 AM "CAPITALISM ITSELF is anti-free market" Ha! Patience, are you *really* going to keep arguing with this clown? "CAPITALISM ITSELF is anti-free market" I had to read that again just to get another good laugh out of it. June 17, 2011 7:58 AM "CAPITALISM ITSELF is anti-free market. If you want a real free market... What you in fact need is a communist mode of production." Hmm. OK, I declare myself a Marxist - and therefore, in favor of a capitalist economy. In other news, black is white, up is down, and left is right. Oh, wait a minute - Willie already believes that last one. Welcome to Bizarro World! June 17, 2011 8:23 AM You lack of comprehension is truly astounding Patience. Your argumentation is sixth grade playground level. While I have an argument against socialism, I also understand that "Capitalism" is NOT 'free market', the Capitalism of that las hundred years has been monopolism, and centrally controlled--like your brainwashed mind. What utter chumps. June 17, 2011 9:06 AM The interesting thing about capitalism is that it actually achieved what Marxism set out to do: allow the laborers to share in the fruits of production. For example, the wealth of Walmart is owned by millions of middle-class shareholders as part of their 401k or retirement funds. This includes both the people that "give" their money to Walmart, by buying its products, and those that work there. Additionally, the low costs that Walmart's capitalism created is realized by its laborers and customers. Here's a great article explaining why capitalism, and free enterprise in general, has beaten Marxism at its own game: June 17, 2011 9:14 AM Is this REALLY where you meant to send us with that URL Sam? May 2007 Socialism, Free Enterprise, and the Common Good Rev. Robert A. Sirico President, Acton Institute for the Study of Religion and Liberty At any rate, using Walmart as an example for anything positive is the biggest load of tripe I have ever read. What a collection of nimrods... June 17, 2011 9:57 AM Hi Willy, Yes. Now do yourself a favor and _read it_. June 17, 2011 10:19 AM Hi Sam, I did. June 17, 2011 12:22 PM Lol. But at least, Sam, I give you credit for acknowledging what "Marxism set out to do". That's a much greater degree of insight than that exhibited by anyone else here. Of course, I would still say it's ridiculous to argue that capitalism has "beaten" Marxism at anything - indeed, given the recent crisis, Marx' critique of capitalism has been reaffirmed for the umpteenth time. But what really sticks out from this claim is that apparently workers are only to be allowed a SHARE in the fruits of production. Why should that be, when all of production rests on their labour? It's not enough to have a share; we want it all. We made it all, why shouldn't we have it? Why should a parasitical, noncontributive capitalist class have any claim? I have read the article you linked; to provide a proper counter-argument probably wouldn't be worthwhile. But while this article is much better informed than most, it is still completely mistaken. For example, the depiction of Bernstein, while not faulty is as such, is incomplete, and it fails to acknowledge the critiques to which his position were subject. Bernstein's argument was destroyed by Rosa Luxembourg, and Sirico is therefore not entitled to use it as a sort of uncompleted realisation of the invalidity of the socialist position. I commend you though on finding something as detailed and serious as this, rather than depending on the shrill mouthpieces and stereotypes that so many rely on for the substance of their argument, and which we see above. But my challenge to you now is to go out and read Marxist material yourself, and to draw your conclusions rather than relying on the analyses of others. June 17, 2011 12:43 PM "what "Marxism set out to do".~SharpFish What Marxism set out to do is a much deeper subject than simply analyzing the works of Marx. Marx after all is not all that original in his work Das Capital. What is more beneficial in understanding "Marxism" is the understanding of who was in the background promoting him, and what their motives were, and are. When such an analysis is made, we find lurking in the background a combine of secret societies interlocking in a most complex matrix, and ultimately leading to the Perfectibles, who infiltrated the European Masonic lodges of the 18th century. At any rate, after years of research by many from that era forward, it can be said with a great degree of certainty that it is high financial capital, in particular the House of Rothschild which is the hand pulling the strings and funding these movements. In the final analysis, what "Marxism" set out to do was to generate a 'controlled opposition" to this high international finance. One that could be manipulated into unwittingly serving the interests of high finance and coopting any real resistance that was to come along. For some clues into this look into the Left and Right schools of Hegelianism, a split manufactured by Hegel's own teachings and his star students. June 17, 2011 1:22 PM Hi again to Sam, I am quite familiar with Hillsdale College. Whether you are aware of it or not Hillsdale is part of Neocon think tank activities. One with the purpose of demonizing Islam for the benefit of the fraudulant "war on terror". It's luminaries are in the main the usual suspects behind PNAC and the Rand corporation, the Crystal's and thier Daily Standard, etc. These people come from a Marxist background themselves--all deciples of Trotsky and his 3rd Internationale. Almost all of this leads back to Leo Strause. They are all 'Statists'--Hegelians, who believe that the "state in the footsteps of 'God' on earth." This means that any "Christians" involved with this cult have been duped. Not that I expect anyone to follow leads and take anything seriously here, as all on this site seem to have swallowed the MSM kool-aid. But the history is in the open record for any with some slight bit of curiosity left in their head. June 17, 2011 1:35 PM Normalcy Bias Normalcy Bias; this is the psychological pathos of the conformists, the bean-counters, and those who go along to get along. It is indicated by extreme naivete and a dearth of imagination. Such personalities crave empty entertainment, convenience, and unfettered certainty. The words, “tinfoil conspiracy nut” are set like a trigger, to be repeated like a Chatty Cathy doll at the slightest hint of suspicion of the system they float around in like party balloons at a kids birthday at Chuckie-Cheese. Lack of imagination creates a type of memory loss, the inability to imagine what it was like before one became adjusted to the present. This creates a type of mental compartmentalization. In-congruent information is isolated from itself to prevent cognitive dissonance. The information is still there subconsciously however, which results in neurosis. And it is that neurosis which is acted out as denial. “Lack of curiosity in otherwise intelligent people is caused by fear. This fear is of finding out something that on might not want to know and face. It is an attendant effect of long term normalcy bias, in the case of the US it is caused by the strategy of tension generated by social engineering.~ww “The normalcy bias is also known as the ostrich effect. It is also sometimes known as the incredulity response and analysis paralysis. In situations of extreme danger, some people enter a mental state that is known as the normalcy bias. In this state, people deny that what is happening to them is really taking place.” June 17, 2011 2:21 PM To the ones that espouse communist ideals, I only have one thing to say: F U! I grew up in a communist country, and it was complete state control. Fear of the state was the way of life. Communism is great, it means some "chosen" ones at the top control the state-owned industries and the workers truly are slaves, because the state and the bureaucrats reap all the benefits. And let's not forget the brainwashing, since you have to be constantly reminded your hard work is for the "good" of the country, while you live off food rations. Meanwhile, the politicians are running around in luxury cars and living in mansions, while you get thrown in jail for daring to ask for more food. Seriously, do you actually mean this? Maybe because if they don't make any money off our work, they don't need to employ us. Why would anyone give me a job if not for them to make more money as well? I am sure you think that the state should own the industry, but like I already pointed out, it just means someone else would get rich off my labor. Communism fails on so many aspects, that if you look at history all it has created is poverty and authoritarian states. And really wealthy state-sponsored oligarchs. June 17, 2011 4:18 PM If it is the private sector which is employing as well as being employed, what is the need of a financial class 'providing'the "money" as debt. Creating just the amount of fiat script to cover that "money" itself--but not the amount to cover the INTREST on that debt? I think if you had a better grasp on how the ponzi scheme of fractional banking works that you would have an entirely different opinion of "Capitalism." Rather than think in the duality manner of the dialectic of Capitalism/Comminism, why not think back to the concept that "money" is just a conveinience to barter--actual free-trade, not the Newspeak version propagated by the financial elite. June 17, 2011 4:39 PM My last comment is directed at Alin_S, and the first quote is from his post. June 17, 2011 4:41 PM Again addressing Alin_S, What needs to be parsed is the distinction between the entrepreneur and a capitalist. Between 'finance' and 'trade'. By 'trade' I do not refer to the casino of Wall Street. I am talking about actual trade between owners and buyers of goods and services. June 17, 2011 4:50 PM Willy, I know you constantly have to mention the financial conspiracy and a international nefarious cabal, but my post had nothing to do with finance. Capitalism has nothing to do with banks, but banks are necessary to provide capital to those who need it. Now imagine a world where I save money or raise capital through other means, and then I open a business. No debt for me, and no Rockefellers making money off me. Here is an easy definition: An economic system that is based on PRIVATE OWNERSHIP of the means of production and distribution. Prices for goods and services are determined by the free market, and businesses are operated for the economic gain of the OWNERS. (I would like to think that I can be an owner one day, and I guess perhaps I am biased by such an ideal and you might even say a bit foolish for believing such things). I have never disagreed with you on the federal reserve, which encourages fractional lending and has hijacked our money plus our government. I think your point was also trying to hint at the creation of money, but again, my point had nothing to do with that. My point is simply this: communism sucks! And I will never ever live under communist oppression. You can take those as fighting words if you prefer... June 17, 2011 5:01 PM Alin_S, you say: Read your first sentence here. It defeats itself in a circle. In effect it is self cancelling. And the second is true, you have to “imagine” such a world because the “capital” you speak of is fiat debt based “money”. There is NO OTHER form of capital available in 'This World'...only the one you wish for the reader to imagine. I can indeed 'imagine' such a world. But know that one will not exist until one faces the realities of this on we exist in now and change it. By making the circular arguments you have above you are simply denying the real world, and playing make-believe, ie, “imagining.” June 17, 2011 7:06 PM But Alin, as you should realize the “prices for goods and services “are NOT determined by the free market. They are determined by a central controlled market—the Stock Market, which has manifold instruments of manipulation to play the prices. The 'derivatives' scheme, 'hedge funds', the casino techniques of betting on prices without even buying stocks: Spread betting on stocks and shares allows you to go long or short on a stock without owning. And these are only a few of the tools the elites have implemented to control the market. Again, it gets down to who the “OWNERS” are. The Owners are, again; the private banking cartel that you keep dismissing—they own the ability to write an amount on a ledger sheet and pronounce it “money”. June 17, 2011 7:22 PM Willy, I know it's hard to admit you are wrong, but you continue to go in a a circle and refuse to see the forest for the trees. Read the definition of capitalism that I provided. Based on this definition, this is how I CHOOSE to see it. Capitalism to me means private ownership (not state-owned), prices determined by free market (not monopolies), and benefits the owners (not the state or bureaucrats). Therefore, capitalism does not need banks. Additionally, the structure of the finance system is a whole different topic. However, since I have to say this again, banks are needed to provide money to those WHO NEED IT. Now, if you want to get into the nuances of my statements, go ahead and over-analyze. I don't have to imagine a world where I don't need to take on debt. Here is another scenario for you: I inherit a bunch of money and put that into a business, I become a business owner and by default I would be called a capitalist. Now I would be an evil business owner who would hire other people so I could make more money, or I don't hire any and they can all go unemployed. I think you and I both agree that we need to push the govt off our backs, but the grim realities of the world you live in have got you down. I simply choose to believe that capitalism works and corporations are not evil, but it's when they collude with govt that our lives are impacted typically for the worse. But I will not paint capitalism or all corporations with such a broad brush. I agree with you, I am aware of how our money is nothing more than govt debt which we have to pay back to this private bank called the FED. I think you assume that the readers of this blog are dunces, and have been living under a rock. We are all well aware of the illegitimacy of the FED, the unconstitutionality of the income tax, the military industrial complex, etc. I really wish you wouldn't think that you are the only one who has seen the light. June 17, 2011 7:43 PM Willy, this is becoming a debate less about capitalism and more about manipulation. Commodities and currency trading can absolutely affect our everyday lives, I don't think a wise person would really try to disagree with that. I don't think I ever said that I "dismiss" the banking cartel, I only said that you bring it up in every post even though we are simply discussing capitalism and the positive effects it has on our society. Just like anything else, in the wrong hands it can be abused and misused. I would like for you to admit that capitalism works, and then you can get into how certain factions are trying to gain power and wealth underhandedly. It seems that you are dismissing capitalism as this evil system simply because some people have decided to hijack it for their own benefit. For me, capitalism means that I can go open up an ice cream shop in my neighborhood, and I have the freedom to do so. For you, it means that some wealthy bankers are getting richer. I would like to see your solution to this problem, my solution is simply to get it while the getting is good. (That's a joke Willy) June 17, 2011 8:09 PM But that is my whole point in the first place. What you have been taught the definition of capitalism is not what is put in place and called capitalism. The ideal system you have in your head that you call capitalism, is a worthy concept and a reasonable way to do business, regardless of what you name it. What I am saying is that what has been CALLED capitalism from the inception on the use of the word has always been the manipulatory aspect we have discussed, with the Rhetorical cover story being the system that makes the best sense. All cons are sold that way, in economic law this is called a "Fraudulent Conveyance Racket". The historical record proves that the entire Federal Reserve System can by shown to be a Fraudulent Conveyance racket. The Federal Reserve System is obviously a centrally planned economy. This is NOT a “free market,” as their Newspeak rhetoric claims. Playing it for what it is worth is all any of us can do as far as personal survival tactics. However I think that trying to educated people as to the scam being played on them is worthwhile. That is my whole reason for posting. There are a lot of misconceptions being propagated, and that needs countering.~ww June 17, 2011 8:56 PM More simply put: The dictionary definition of "Capitalism" that the "Capitalists" have used is a commercial advertizement. That is how they explain their operation. But this is False Advertizement. Again history shows it to be a con racket. That is the reason, I dispute the advertized definition. Because it is their Sales Pitch but not what you are sold. June 17, 2011 9:04 PM Now, as far as Communism; the very same historical record I refer to proves that it is a created "controled opposition"... In other words Alvin, the very same financial power that runs this nation, runs the socialist opposition. The real enemy then is the International Banking Cartel: Capitalism/Communism/Total State = Totalitarian State June 17, 2011 9:09 PM The Final and Urgent Point: To move further into the present situation is to observe that there can be no reasonable argument against that the US is a totalitarian police state. It is no secret but for putting it so bluntly. This is a Panoptic Maximum Security State based on the openly announced strategy of FULL SPECTRUM DOMINANCE. That term, 'full spectrum dominance” is as in your face as is possible. What does full spectrum mean? It means it is total , total dominance. How much clearer does this have to be made out. This is not my language this is the state's language. You have received your invitation to the ball. You have been absorbed under its umbrella. Since 9/11 and the PATRIOT Act, the superstructure of this panoptic police state has been constructed over the head of the population. If one chose to pay attention the reality is out there everyday testifying to this. It is only turning away into denial that can make one blind to the so very obvious. All it will take to kick this machine on to full draconian force will be the shock of drastic austerity measures imposed. This will be an 'event', and it will ripple around the globe quickly. Many well researched analysts are saying this is not long in coming. How long? Not long, for "ye reap what ye sow." June 17, 2011 9:38 PM And a final comment to Sharpfish: Marx and Bakunin are both wrong, and their arguments between themselves irrelevant but as a historical footnote. Marx is wrong. The only thing that has ever changed about human beings is their technologies, and unless technology is allowed to “win” over the human being, and create the cyborg which eliminates the natural humans—mankind will always be the human being he is. All consensus is synthetic and temporary.~ww June 20, 2011 11:12 AM Alin S, You're confusing communism with state capitalism. Obviously, if that's where you grew up, you'll have been denied this critique, even though it goes as far back as the earliest days of those state capitalist societies. Politicians in luxury cars and ordinary workers in jail for asking for food, that's capitalism in essence. Can you think of any capitalist society that hasn't produced precisely this outcome? You say yourself, its a society organised by and for the interest of OWNERS, and that you aspire, one day, to being an owner yourself. Isn't that a confession that any capitalist society is the antithesis of democracy, that it is rule by the rich and for the rich? You admit that the only out you can see is to one day join their number. And in the meanwhile, like the vast majority of us, you can only be servant and a slave. You ask, why should they employ us? Fatuously you assert "they don't make money of us". Of course they do, why else would they employ us, according to your own logic? Only becuase they benefit. Running through your account of capitalism is a truth you won't acknowledge: that we are only allowed to support ourselves when it is in the interests of capitalists. We are no more free than any feudal serf subordinate to their local warlord, paying tithe and rent to someone who, fundamentally, does not work to support themselves. All value arises from human labour. As Adam Smith said, it is the original commodity from which all others are got. Capitalism cannot exist without workers; it exists for no other purpose than to seize the product of workers labour and channel it into private profit. Just like your state capitalisms, the few benefit from the labour of the many. Willy Whitten, I don't really want to respond to you, your brand of conpiratorial theory is essentially nonsense, and ironically, precisely what you denounce us for, a "false opposition". So long as you continue to believe in these shadowy conpiratorial groups you'll never do anything to actually change the real, material, world. But your last point I must address, your argument about technology. No political philosophy is as science- and tech-friendly as Marxism. It appears, after all, as an attempt to form a scientific theory about how societies change and develop. It is a specific scientific antidote to the pre-industrial, superstitious cult of capitalist theology. There is so much historical evidence against your wilder claims I won't bother going into it. Nobody who takes the topic seriously will be convinced by your garbage. June 20, 2011 7:54 PM Add Your Comment... 4000 characters remaining Loading question...
One of the major focal points in terms of processing the idea of spiritual teachers is wondering to what extent they are necessary at all in the development of the individual as a spiritual being. How does one define the spiritual life? How does one define a spiritual teacher? These are questions with answers that would likely be as different as the people asking them. Whether or not a person feels the need for a spiritual teacher, whether a teacher in the flesh or via a philosophical text, is also a very individualized process. Whether or not a person is open to the idea of having a spiritual teacher or guru likely has much to do with how they have been conditioned socially. If a person has been conditioned to be more accepting of a guru, then they will have a greater openness than someone who has been conditioned to be more or less open or hostile towards the process (or someone who has had a negative guru experience or been exposed to negative news reports about certain religious sects). J. Krishnamurti uses the concept of the awareness of social conditioning as the basis for his philosophy. He advocated a philosophy that, essentially, put forth the idea that there is no guru, there is no teaching, and only the individual can know his or her own consciousness. Only the individual can dig deep enough into his or her own consciousness and explore and, potentially, be free from social conditioning. Again, social conditioning would definitely factor in to whether or not one is open to the guru/disciple relationship. Krishnamurti said If the very act of identifying a tree by a certain name is a sign of being conditioned, then certainly, whether or not one is open to the idea of having a guru or spiritual teacher is also influenced by conditioning. To put this idea into context, my own spiritual conditioning involved being raised as a Roman Catholic. Being raised Catholic was an integral part of my worldview and remains the foundation of my spiritual conditioning. As I grew, I became aware of other religions and became drawn to the ideas of Taoism and Buddhism. I also became interested in rationalistic points of view espoused by Secular Humanism. Authoritarian Followers As Symbiotes While eastern cultures have a greater tradition and support for the guru disciple relationship, those in western cultures seem to have a greater skepticism towards them. Part of the mythology of America is that of the “rugged individualist” who “goes it alone” if need be while relying on the Christian god for spiritual support. In their popular mainstream forms, neither Roman Catholicism, Protestant Christianity or Fundamentalist Christianity seem particularly open to a guru/disciple relationship in the eastern sense; whereas, in “eastern” societies such a relationship has been a part of the culture for thousands of years. There is also a greater, and well documented, sense of collectivism in eastern societies versus what many like to think of as individualism in western countries (though I think the idea of individualism is highly debatable, especially in terms of how people in the west are socially conditioned on all sorts of levels). While such attributes as collectivist versus individualistic may hold true, it is also important to avoid over-generalizing in terms of broad-based cultural attributes at the risk of essentializing a culture. Be that as it may, one thing that does link most modern cultures is some form of authoritarianism. Unfortunately, authoritarianism in seems to be at work in many ways in terms of how individuals relate to religious and spiritual pursuits. Specifically, I am discussing the authoritarian follower personality. These are people who would be easily described in a general sense as “followers”, often seeming devoid of reason or critical faculties when it comes to their spiritual, religious or political views. While this may not always be the case, or may not even be the case most of the time in terms of religious or spiritual seekers, it is the case often enough to warrant scrutiny. Indeed, the idea of the authoritarian follower personality is often at work in terms of defining to which extent individual is open to submitting to the guru/disciple relationship. It is also very much present in most of the world’s major religions where a guru/student relationship is not present. The authoritarian follower personality is not the exclusive property of any particular culture or era. These personality types appear to exist throughout cultures and time periods, both religiously and politically. In The Authoritarians, Bob Altemeyer explores the idea of the authoritarian personality in great depth. He sees the related concept of dogmatism as a particular threat to free-thinking. Altemeyer says: Once dogmatism turns out the lights, you might as well close up shop as a civilization and pull up the covers as a sentient life form. You get nowhere with unquestioning certainty. It’s thinking with your mind wide shut. But that would not faze most fundamentalists, because they know that their beliefs will get them exactly where they want to go. To a further extent, Altemeyer explores the concept of fundamentalism along with its dangers as relates to, in this case, the authoritarian follower personality. It is clear from Altemeyer’s sociological findings that this authoritarian follower personality is socially driven i.e. it is a socially conditioned aspect of a human being’s life. Altemeyer says of fundamentalist Christians: That they are highly likely to be authoritarian followers. They are highly submissive to established authority, aggressive in the name of that authority, and conventional to the point of insisting that everyone should behave as their authorities decide. They are fearful and self-righteous and have a lot of hostility in them that they readily direct toward various out-groups. They are easily incited, easily led, rather un-inclined to think for themselves, largely impervious to facts and reason, and rely instead of social support to maintain their beliefs. They bring strong loyalty to their in-groups, have thick-walled, highly compartmentalized minds, use a lot of double standards in their judgments, are surprisingly unprincipled at times, and are often hypocrites. Analyzing Altemeyer’s reflection, it becomes apparent that if there are not authoritarian followers, there can be no authoritarian leaders. Both the authoritarian leader and follower must exist in a symbiotic relationship or they cannot exist at all. No authoritarian leaders, no authoritarian followers. The reverse is also true. This has implications for religion and spirituality, but also has implications for the greater idea society. When an authoritarian follower of a cult, religious sect or religion is deprogrammed, the symbiotic connection to the authoritarian leader is broken, lessening that leader’s power by at least one follower. However, the individual’s authoritarian personality traits are still there in latent form and may find another outlet in the future. I reject the idea of a guru, not only because of my initial Roman Catholic religious conditioning but because at the same time I was rais ed with the opposite approach to dogma: question authority. While some level of leading and following is necessary for the functioning of modern society, it does not need to be the rule of the authoritarian leader or follower. More consensus driven societies are likely to have more of everything that authoritarian society’s lack: creativity, openness, and freedom. Giving Gurus a Bad Name Another reason many people resist the guru-disciple relationship is that some deeply disturbed authoritarian leaders have given the term guru a bad name. Enough instances have occurred in recent memory where authoritarian followers and authoritarian leaders have come together and havoc has ensued to lead to very understandable questions in the popular press and the popular mind about the nature of the guru/disciple relationship and the very nature of the guru. The “bad” gurus have run the gamut from bizarre and abusive to murderous. By definition, people are naturally drawn to charismatic personalities. Most, if not all, gurus whether deemed positive or negative in their impact have some level of charisma to them whether in personality or vital energy. Like the pop stars of today, however, it is not unusual for these charismatic personalities to go over the edge and fall into the abyss. Beyond excess, there is also spiritual inconsistency that can bring a guru back down to the all too human level. Non-gurus regularly exhibit inconsistencies in their behaviors. However, followers of gurus expect spiritual teachers to be more than human. The inconsistencies demonstrate that faith in a guru can be shaken or, ultimately, shattered by a guru having them. The question remains as to the nature of who have been considered enlightened considering their excesses and inconsistent behavior. While authoritarian leaders serve as symbols for the negative aspects of the guru/disciple relationship, it is the followers who do not get the same “press” as their charismatic spiritual teachers. Perhaps popular culture would somehow like to simplify the nature of the guru/disciple relationship. Perhaps the general public does not want to acknowledge their own authoritarian tendencies, whether as leaders or followers. Though the “gurus-gone-wild” have come to be symbols of darkness or excess, over time they continue to crop up again and again. It is unlikely that society will see a complete end to such tragedies as Jonestown or thousands of disillusioned followers, as was the case with Rajneesh, until the authoritarian personality itself is fully explored, understood and, eventually treated. Unfortunately, for many involved with bad gurus, by the time the problem is discovered, it is often too late to stop psychological or physical harm from occurring. Krishnamurti and Free-Thinking A great focus of this paper is not on the benefits that many people find in following the eastern guru-centered spiritual traditions, but a critique of the authoritarian follower personality that makes such relationships often dangerous to the psyche or more of the would be follower. While I, personally, reject the idea of having a guru for the many reasons stated in this paper I very much feel that there are likely many spiritual teachers of great merit and many individuals who benefit as the recipients of their teachings. Ultimately, though, I feel that it is far too likely, especially in Western societies, that an individual has a much greater chance of being taken in by an illegitimate guru if they are either naïve of the process and background of the guru or have an unquestioning authoritarian follower personality and, thus, far more likely to do or have damage done to them. When authoritarianism is present thought becomes static, inventiveness and openness are gone. In Total Freedom, Krishnamurti said: What we call happiness or ecstasy is, to me, creative thinking. And creative thinking is the infinite movement of thought, which is emotion, which is action itself, if unimpeded in its movement, is not compelled or influenced or bound by an idea, and does not proceed from the background of tradition or habit, then that movement is creative. So long as thought– and I won’t repeat each time emotion and action – so long as thought is circumscribed, held by a fixed idea, or merely adjusts itself to a background or condition and, therefore, becomes limited, such a thought is not creative. To what extent does the guru/disciple relationship circumscribe or limit thought in the manner that Krishnamurti is discussing? That would seemingly depend on the guru and the guru’s teachings and the personality of the follower. Krishnamurti rejects the idea of attachment to abstract concepts as being forms of conditioning. The mind is never free as long as it is fixated on anything. The very idea of the guru, in Krishnamurti’s terms, could be seen as a socially conditioned idea. If, as Krishnamurti suggested many times, only the individual can know her or his own consciousness, if there is no guru needed, if there is no religious or spiritual organization needed, if there is no path, then the very nature of the guru/teacher and the disciple/student is called into question. Krishnamurti went on to say: Now this movement of creative thinking does not seek in its expression a result, an achievement; its results and expressions are not its culmination. It has no culmination or goal, for it is eternally in movement. Most minds are seeking a culmination, a goal, an achievement and are molding themselves upon the idea of success, and such thought, such thinking is continually limiting itself, whereas if there is not idea of achievement but only the continual movement of thought as understanding, as intelligence, then that movement of thought is creative. In terms of Krishnamurti’s “teachings” the individual would not reach this freedom of thought, this creative essence by relying on anyone outside themselves. Certainly, the individual would not reach the essence of this creative thought by relying on a guru. It is, again, in this sense that in Krishnamurti’s rejection of the guru that he reminds individuals of the power they have to look within and discover themselves, most likely, for the first time. Be Your Own Guru Does Krishnamurti’s philosophy appeal to me because I am socially conditioned to accept the idea of “questioning authority” or because it is reflective of my life experiences? Perhaps it is a combination of both. However, I do agree with his well known idea that “truth is a pathless land.” Indeed, to me, I cannot see any other way for the individual to truly have the potential of freeing themselves from social conditioning and realizing the transcendental without going into their own consciousness and exploring its nature. While I will leave the argument in favor of the guru/disciple relationship to others, I will conclude only by saying: Be Your Own Guru This article has been selectively republished from the Journal of Conscious Evolution Gaia - GEN - Streaming Consciousness - pier
Benefits of Using Small Plate Movement for Personal Training Clients Today we asked Personal Trainer in London for there opinion on using the small plate movement and would it benefit there clients in London. Personal training clients are looking for results. Generally, they are looking for someone to help and motivate them to exercise, and they are expecting to work hard. They may not be your best friend after you have put them through their paces, but they will thank you for it. Imagine how better the results would be if you could take a holistic approach and educate them on other changes they can make to their life style that will, in turn, lead to further weight loss and health benefits. Small plate moment is one such example. Smaller plates, bigger benefits       No Comments on Smaller plates, bigger benefits Research has empirically and scientifically validated results related to consumption that enables confident promotion of ways people can enjoy all food, but in smaller amounts. Based on findings found in the book Mindless Eating: Why We Eat More Than We Think, the Small Plate Movement continues the promotion of consumer awareness in regards to food intake. In particular, the Small Plate Movement promotes utilizing 10″ diameter plates to decrease the amount of food people eat, without having an effect on their perceived fullness or satisfaction. Additionally, the movement will bring current and past research findings to local and chain restaurants as well as plate manufacturers in order to spread the movement across the country. Health conscious consumers would decrease their caloric intake, allowing restaurants to appeal to a nutrition-oriented market. Utilizing smaller dinnerware could decrease costs (via serving size), satisfying the economic interests of the restaurant owners. Smaller dinnerware would also effectively decrease the amount of waste produced by restaurants. The size of dinnerware could be simultaneously satisfying (win-win-win) to all aspects of the food industry.
An eye opener for Word Association Test - WAT:- Friends, As we all know the Day 2 Psychological Tests are the most important factor in determining our Officer Like Qualities. In this, I am going to give you few lines on answering the WAT.  i.e. the second test in Psychology after the TAT - Thematic Appreciation Test. In WAT, two type of words are given 1) Knowledge based. 2) Character based. Knowledge based means, words such as Puzzle, Time, Light, Product etc. Character based means, words such as anger, pretty, sad, demise, spoil, culture etc. These include both positive and negative words. In these two, our aim is to show the positive responses and to portrait our OLQ to both negative and postive words. Aim of the Assessor:-  The aim of the assessor in the WAT is to check out our all Officer Like Qualities.  So in every responses for all our 60 questions, they are checking  your OLQ. Now, how to prepare?. In the knowledge based words, we can reply by our observational sentences. Eg:- Missile - India is one of the major ICBM holder. So no problem in answering these type of words. But while answering the character based words, We are showing our OLQ's mostly.  Also, the character based words are mostly negative words so the candidates feel tougher to answer those in that stipulated time i.e. 15 seconds. So practice more with the given set of  words below and analyse yourself with OLQ list.  I assure you in few days you will get changes in your responses which also reflects in our normal life. How the assessment is done:- Let we take one of the OLQ, "Initiative". We may get a word "Trip" - The recent trip organized by us to simla was so exciting.  This shows the assessor that you have involved in some arrangement/organizing like that. So like this, have the list of OLQ in your hand, practice the words by writing more and more words.   Finally check your responses by matching with your OLQ list. Note:- The assessment is done in many ways through the whole five day process, the aim of the assessors is to find our OLQ only.  So let we try to acquire those quality and show our self best to the board. Never and ever try to assess or read the assessors of the board as they are legends in the field of psychology and all.  We cant able to assess them or read them, if we do so then we will lose our originality.  Let we do our part clearly and show our OLQ best to the board to get selected :) Friends, this is the best way to practice yourself for the Psychological part.  The only thing to do well in these is practice.  No one can change our personality other than us. :) Popular posts from this blog SSB Preparation Material Free Download pdf Body language for Interview SSB Medical Test
Trees give us more breathing room During the lazy, hazy days of summer, appreciate how trees clean the air. One way they do it is by scrubbing pollution from the air with their leaves. "Think about how your clothes pick up lint, especially rough-textured clothing. That's essentially how trees pick up pollutants on their leaf surfaces," says John Dwyer, research associate at The Morton Arboretum. Trees in the city of Chicago remove an estimated 888 tons of air pollution each year, according to the 2009 Chicago Urban Forest study. Trees are very good at capturing a type of pollution called particulate matter. This comes from car and truck emissions, power plants, road dust, and farming. It also forms in the atmosphere when other pollutants react. The smallest particulate matter is called PM10 (smaller than 10 micrometers, which is one-seventh the width of a human hair). According to the Environmental Protection Agency, PM10 infiltrates deep into the lungs, triggers asthma attacks and damages lung tissue. Chicago's trees remove about 300 tons of PM10 per year, which is equal to the annual PM10 emissions from 809,000 automobiles. Some trees are better than others at catching PM10. "The ones that do the best job are large, healthy trees with many small, rough leaves with jagged margins," says Dwyer. "Because evergreens work for us all year, they are usually at the top of the list." Consider planting spruce, fir, cedar, pine, buckeye, hackberry and zelkova. If you already have a large shade tree, nurture it to help it live a long life. Large, healthy trees remove up to 70 times more pollution than small ones. The 2010 Tree Census is gathering data to determine air pollution-removal capacity and other environmental benefits of the urban forest in the seven-county Chicago metropolitan region.

Romance! As Understood By Little Girls With Valentine’s Day coming up, and our theme on this month’s Roundtable being romance, I thought it was apt to write a little something about romance. But we don’t need just little old me talking about it. Oh no no, we need some fresh, young perspective! And so I decided to interview my little sister and her friend. Who better to give romantic advice than little girls? Cianna is 6 and her friend Chastity is 9. Let’s see what they have to say about this whole love thing, and about what makes a good romance story. Do you believe in love at first sight? Chastity: No Cianna: Yes Oh? Why do you, or don’t you believe in love at first sight? Chasity: I think it’s really really weird. I don’t think you can start a relationship before you actually have a relationship as friends. Cianna: Because it’s cute Tell me about your favorite love story. Chastity: I really like the love story of Rapunzel and Flynn Rider. And I also like the love story of Aladdin. What is it about those love stories that make it your favorite? Chastity: Um, I don’t know. They’re really cute and adorable and sweet how they… they just meet and grow in their relationship together, and um…. it’s really adorable. What is it they do together, or for each other, that strengthens them and makes them a good couple? Like, do you think making sacrifices for each other is a good thing? Chasity: Yes yes. Like I watched a Tarzan video last night, and Tarzan sacrificed his life for his whole family, and for the girl that was killing him. Wow, that’s pretty intense. Why did he sacrifice himself for the girl that was killing him? Chastity: Because he’s such a nice person. *giggles* What about you Cianna, what’s your favorite love story? Cianna: Robin Hood. (note: She is referring to the old classic with Errol Flynn from 1938… she’s obsessed with it!) What makes Robin Hood your favorite love story? Cianna: ummmmm….. Robin. What is it about Robin? Cianna: Well he’s nice and practically the main character in this story. Is it because he’s brave and dashing, and puts others before himself? Cianna: Uh huh! And what do you think of the maid Marian? Cianna: Well she’s cute. Why do you think they fall in love with each other? Cianna: Well…. it’s kinda cute…. Chasity: We it’s probably because they are both really caring and loving to other people, and put others before themselves. So they have a lot of similarities so… them um… Cianna: Yeah that’s what I was gonna say. Chastity: *giggles* Yeah right! I was just watching it, and I think when maid Marian saw that Robin Hood was actually the good guy and really helping people, that opened her eyes. And then when maid Marian helped rescue Robin Hood, he saw how much she cared about him. And so he fell in love with her, too. Are there any stories that it didn’t make sense for the people to fall in love? Chasity: Uh…. I think in a dream? Oh I remember! It was in the Braidy bunch, when a guy just met the girl that day. And they get married in the guy’s house. Then the girls started talking about something else, and laughing and giggly, and the conversation was at an end. Ah well, I managed to get some good thoughts. The first thing I noticed is that in Chastity perspective, the best relationships start small. Growing from a friendship into something more. Cianna likes ones that are cute. I think these things relate- that is, I think having a relationship that grows from the bottom up is what makes it cute. See, Cianna used to not like kissing. She would be the first to say “eww” and hide her face when the characters kissed in a movie. But that has changed recently, and I think I have my oldest brother and his new wife to blame for that. Because she used to think kissing was weird (which it kinda is, I mean if you really think about it….. kissing is really weird!) What makes it not weird is when there’s meaning and intimacy behind it. Cianna, from basically the day she was born, has seen Jubal and Bethany together. First as friends, then as best friends, then dating, then engaged….  Now that Jubal and Bethany are married and can kiss, she doesn’t think it’s weird at all. Because their kiss has a lot more meaning to it. Part of that being that they saved their first kiss ever for their wedding day, and the other part that they really have grown together. Something my little sister has seen and picked up on. In a good story, a character is not the same from the beginning to the end. It would be boring and disappointing if there was no character development. That goes for relationships as well; the two characters, and the relationship itself, need to change and grow. I believe the strongest relationships grow from friendship and a genuine care for the other person. But in a story, you might not have time to lay out the relationship from the very beginning. That’s where some skillfully placed back story comes in handy, with the present taking place where the relationship is changing. Also, a dramatic life or death situation is great for bounding! Another theme I noticed from our short conversation, is that the principle of sacrifice makes for a strong romance. Now it doesn’t have to be a total self sacrifice in which one person gives their life for the other. (That can be very dramatic and good, but it’s also very sad, so be careful, you don’t want the fans and shippers coming for your neck.) It can be any sort of sacrifice: spending time helping them with something instead of something you had planned to do, caring for them when they are sick, putting yourself at risk by going and seeking out help to free them from a hanging, or fighting off the deep space pirates to protect them. Anything that shows they care enough to put the other person’s needs and safety before their own. Good love is selfless, and grand acts of selflessness make dramatic love stories. Drama is good for stories, and selfless love is good for love stories. However, be sure not to portray a flawless couple. Perfect couples don’t make for good romance in stories. No one would be able to relate, and you need conflict to make a story. But as long as you work into your story the idea of them growing and changing together, and include selfless acts and sacrifices they make for each other, you’ll have a couple that readers will want to root for.

Freeman • Very sweet…all the cuter because I just heard our local Christian radio station do exactly the same thing…they interviewed little children about love, and we even got: • A. M. Freeman Haha! The summer before last I was in a play of Aladdin. Cianna come to almost every show, and every time Aladdin and Jasmine kissed at the end, she’d very loudly say from the audience “ewwwww!” During the school shows there was a chorus of “Eww!” 😉
Enterprise Software SolutionBase: Using the Dsquery command in Windows Server 2003 Microsoft includes some handy GUI tools with Windows Server 2003 to help you manage Active Directory. Sometimes, however, command-line tools such as Dsquery can give you more flexibility and control. Here's a detailed look at the Dsquery command. In the article "Getting started with Windows Server 2003's directory service command-line tools," I introduced you to the six basic directory service command-line tools and provided an expanded list showing you the particular objects that each tool is designed to work with. I also got you started with a basic understanding of distinguished names and the Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) attribute tags. The directory service command-line tools rely on these names to locate and work with objects in Active Directory. As I closed out that article, I briefly showed you how to use the Dsquery command to look at the distinguished names assigned to the objects in your Active Directory structure. In this article, I'll pick up with the Dsquery command and examine its features. I'll then show you some cool search techniques you can perform with the Dsquery command to quickly and easily reveal information that would be a bit tricky to get out of GUI interface tools. The commands While the Dsquery command is one of the six main directory service command-line tools, it actually consists of 11 separate commands, as shown in Table A. Ten of these commands are designed to find objects of a specific type, and one is designed to find any object type in Active Directory. Table A Command Description Dsquery * Finds any object Dsquery computer Finds computer accounts Dsquery contact Finds contacts Dsquery group Finds group accounts Dsquery ou Finds organizational units Dsquery partition Finds Active Directory partitions Dsquery quota Finds object quotas Dsquery server Finds domain controllers Dsquery site Finds Active Directory sites Dsquery subnet Finds subnet objects Dsquery user Finds user accounts The Dsquery commands Of course, each of these commands comes with a set of object-specific parameters that allow you to define the search criteria for each object. However, the majority of the parameters are common to most of the Dsquery commands. The common parameters Let's examine the common parameters and see how they work. Once you understand their function, you'll be able to look at the overly complex syntax layouts for each command and more easily pick out the object-specific parameters. Targeting your search The first set of common search parameters allows you to specify where you want your search operation to begin: [{StartNode | forestroot | domainroot}] To more narrowly focus your search, you can use a node's distinguished name (StartNode). To broaden your search, use the forestroot parameter, in which case the search is done using the global catalog. The default value is domainroot; while it's implied, if you don't type anything else, you can enter it on the command line if you really like to type out long command strings. The second set of parameters in this category allows you to specify the scope of your search: [-scope {subtree | onelevel | base}] If you use the ï¿?scope base parameter, you target the search on a single object specified by command and the start node. In other words, you prevent the search from progressing down to child objects. Now, if you use the ï¿?scope onelevel parameter, you target the search on the object specified by command, the start node, and the object's immediate children. The ï¿?scope subtree parameter is the default, and it allows the search to freely progress down the tree from the start node. As I mentioned, you can use the forestroot parameter in order to search the global catalog. You can also use the ï¿?gc parameter to require that your search specifically use the Active Directory global catalog. One more way that you can target your search is by using the ï¿?r parameter. In this case, the r stands for recursion. This parameter allows you to specify that your search use recursionï¿?also described as following referrals during a search. As I understand it, this parameter allows you to extend your search to multiple servers. Formatting output The next set of common parameters lets you specify the output format for the search results: [-o {dn | rdn}] The default output is the distinguished name and uses the -o dn parameter. If you want to see the relative distinguished name, you'd use the -o rdn parameter. As I said in the previous article, the Dsquery command will display only 100 objects by default. The next parameter allows you to expand the number of items displayed in the output: -limit NumberofObjects Essentially, you can use any number you want here. While it may seem a bit weird at first glance, if you want to see all of the objects, follow the -limit parameter with a zero. However, be careful when changing the limit because Microsoft's goal in limiting the output to 100 objects is to prevent the domain controller from being unnecessarily taxed by an exhaustive Active Directory search operation. The last set of output format parameters also double as input format parameters and are designed to allow you to specify Unicode format: {-uc | -uco | -uci} The -uc parameter specifies a Unicode format for input from or output to a pipe (|). The -uco parameter specifies a Unicode format for output to a pipe (|) or a file. The -uci parameter is used to specify a Unicode format for input from a pipe (|) or a file. While I'm on the topic of output, should you ever decide to run the Dsquery command and not see the results, you can use the -q parameter (a.k.a. Quiet Mode), which will suppress all output to the console. At first, this seemed like an odd thing to do, but then I thought it might be useful when you're redirecting output to a file. However, I've not had any luck getting the -q parameter to work at all. Remote connection The final set of common parameters that we'll look at are the remote connection parameters. By default, the Dsquery command assumes that you're running the command in the domain to which you're logged in. However, you can also run the Dsquery command on a remote server or domain. {-s Server | -d Domain} Using these parameters, you can connect to a specified remote server or domain. You might also need to specify a username and password, in which case you'd use these parameters: -u UserName -p {Password | *} If you use the asterisk, you'll be prompted for a password. Dsquery examples Now that you have a good idea of how the Dsquery command works with its common parameters, let's look at some examples of where using this command will come in handy. Tracking down servers Suppose that while troubleshooting a problem, you discover that you need to quickly identify the domain controller that is performing one of the five Flexible Single Master Operation (FSMO) roles for a forest. What if you need to quickly identify which domain controllers are performing all five FSMO roles: the Schema Master, Domain Naming Master, RID Master, PDC Emulator, and Infrastructure Master? To perform this operation, you'll use the command: Dsquery server along with the parameters: -hasfsmo {schema | name | infr | pdc | rid} If you wanted to find only the Schema Master, you'd use the command: Dsquery server -forest -hasfsmo schema If you wanted to find all five, you'd use the command: For %x in (schema name infr pdc rid) do Dsquery server -forest -hasfsmo %x Here, I've simply incorporated the Dsquery server command in a pretty standard For In Do loop. To use this command line, you might want to type it in Notepad and save it as a batch file. You might also want to capture the output in a file. If so, you can add the following to the end of the command line: >> FSMO-Query.txt Tracking down inactive or disabled accounts Suppose you've just taken a new job as a systems administrator. After a couple of days on the job, you discover that your predecessor wasn't very conscientious about cleaning up inactive and disabled user and computer accounts of employees who either left the company or were there only on a temporary contract basis. You've already changed the name and passwords on all the Administrative accounts, and you want to plug any potential security breaches that have been left open by your predecessor. You need a way to quickly ascertain the magnitude of the problem. Fortunately, you can quickly gather the information you need with a few simple Dsquery commands. To find all user accounts that have been inactive for at least the last week or longer, you'd use the command: dsquery user - inactive 1 To find all user accounts that have been disabled, but never dealt with further, you'd use the command: dsquery user -disabled To find all computers whose accounts have been inactive for the last week or more, you'd use the command: dsquery computer - inactive 1 To track down all computers whose accounts are disabled, you'd use the command: dsquery computer -disabled Performing an inventory on the fly! Now imagine this scenario: As a young network administrator, you learned the importance of documenting a network. Over the years, you've become very diligent when it comes to filling in the Description fields for every object account in Active Directory. The Description field for each computer account in your Active Directory structure contains a very detailed string of information that begins with a three-letter acronym specifying the operating system. Suppose that your colleague asks you to find out how many computers in the Laptops organizational unit are still running Windows 2000 Professional. You could quickly open a command prompt window and type the command: Dsquery computer OU=Laptops,DC=gcs,DC=com -desc W2K* Similarly, you could find out how many computers in the Laptops organizational unit are now running Windows XP Professional by using the command: Dsquery computer OU=Laptops,DC=gcs,DC=com -desc WXP* Stay tuned You should now have a pretty good handle on how to use the Dsquery command; you can use my examples as a starting point in your own explorations. In fact, if you come up with any cool examples of using the Dsquery command, please take a moment to share your command line by dropping a note in the Discussion area. In the next article, I'll focus on the Dsget command as I continue examining the directory service command-line tools. About Greg Shultz Editor's Picks Free Newsletters, In your Inbox
FCC to look at overturning unlocking ban The decision was made last year, and came into force at the end of Jaunary, prompting outrage from users. A petition calling for the ban to be scrapped recently hit 100,000 signatures, meaning the government will be forced to reconsider it. The ban means that customers of one carrier can't switch to a different network, even after their contracts have expired. Doing so risks five years in jail and a half-million dollar fine. It's been criticized not only by consumer associations but by many carriers themselves, on the groupnds that it's bad for comeptition. Now, FCC chairman Julius Genachowski has told TechCrunch that he's not entirely happy with the ban either. He said it "raises competitive concerns; it raises innovation concerns". And, he added, "It’s something that we will look at at the FCC to see if we can and should enable consumers to use unlocked phones." Unfortunately, Genachowski isn't certain that he actually has any authority over the issue. But with the Obama administration now forced to reconsider the ban in the light of the petition, there's no doubt that Genachowski's opinion will carry a lot of weight. Part of the problem is that the 1998 Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) wasn't designed for this sort of situation. Its wording states: "No person shall circumvent a technological measure that effectively controls access to a work protected under this title." The idea was, of course, to protect creative works - and it's certainly arguable that using this provision to prevent unlocking is taking things a step too far. Even if a case ever did reach court, it might well decide that the DMCA doesn't actually make it illegal to unlock a phone after all.

Industrial Workers of the World  Industrial Workers of the World (popularly known as "Wobblies"), a REVOLUTIONARY INDUSTRIAL UNION fd 1905 in Chicago. The IWW's rapid expansion in the Canadian West demonstrated the influence of American labour ideology on the region's labour movement. Wobblies were mostly unskilled, low-status migrant workers ("blanket-stiffs") - miners, loggers, navvies and harvesters - who were recruited to the West primarily from southern and eastern Europe and were brutally exploited in the booming economy. The IWW doctrine which attracted them was a peculiar form of syndicalism (an international doctrine based upon the primacy of industrial unionism and the use of the general strike in the settlement of class struggles). Wobbly syndicalism was essentially pragmatic; it advocated the organization of all workers into one body and supported direct action as the only form of protest open to immigrant workers, who were excluded from the electoral process. IWW propaganda was disseminated primarily in street meetings. In 1912, when Vancouver authorities tried to ban street demonstrations, the Wobblies started and won a spectacular free-speech fight. Soon afterwards the IWW led 7000 workers out on strike against the CANADIAN NORTHERN RAILWAY in BC's Fraser Valley. The Wobblies lost, and massive state repression, combined with employer resistance and economic depression, began the process of the union's collapse. The Wobblies' days of glory ended before 1914, but their syndicalist ideology was adopted by the ONE BIG UNION.
Where Is Kosovo? Kosovo is a landlocked region in the Balkan Mountains in Europe. It borders Central Serbia to the east and Albania to the west. The region is a disputed territory. It declared independence on 17 February, 2008. The case, whether to grant the request for a new nation or not, is still pending with the United Nations. Serbia considers the region a part of the Serbian nation and strongly opposes the independence move of Kosovo. KosovoThe name of the region comes from the Serbian language and it means ‘a field of the blackbirds’. Within Kosovo, the term ‘Kosovo’ refers to the eastern part of the region and the western part is known as ‘Metohija’. Both parts are sometimes collectively called ‘Kosovo and Metohija’. The largest city in Kosovo is Pristina, where approximately half a million people live. Most of the terrain of the region is mountainous and the highest peak, Djeravica (Đeravica), is 2656 meters high. About 39% of Kosovo is covered by forests and there is only one national park in Kosovo, Šar Mountains National Park. Islam is the predominant religion in Kosovo. Both Serbia and Kosovo were once a part of Yugoslavia and the secular socialist government of Yugoslavia did its best to prevent any ethnic or religious tensions arising. The iron grip of the Yugoslav president Josip Broz Tito held Yugoslavia together for decades but within 10 years after his death the nation broke up into several smaller countries. Kosovo became a part of Serbia after the dissolution of Yugoslavia but it wasn’t long before ethnic tensions began to rise and a war broke out. About 92% of the Kosovon population is ethnically Albanian and the Serbs are the largest minority comprising approximately 4% of the population. The relations between the Albanians and the Serbians are most of the time unfriendly. The war dampened down after a UN intervention but things have been simmering again since Kosovo declared its independence in 2008. Category: Geography
Summer in the City by Cristiana Strava Cooling off in the Bronx (2011). Source: Charles Brigand In 1927, the Times reported that more than three thousand people had spent the night sleeping on the sand at Coney Island in order to escape the stifling heat of their tenements. Patrolmen had been assigned to stand guard over the sleepers. Many more spent their nights in Central Park, while others piled up on fire escapes to survive the sweltering heat of New York in July. Over the years, the image of children cooling off in the spray of a fire hydrant has become synonymous with summer in the city. Too poor to escape to the Hamptons, working class New Yorkers transformed available public spaces into impromptu vacation spots. Sleeping on a fire escape in New York (1938). Source: Weegee Collection Today, city officials and entrepreneurs attempt to provide options aimed at both locals and potential tourists. Capitalizing on a certain fetishistic obsession with "authenticity," they appropriate working class spaces and practices and regulate them or present them as fashionable. Sharon Zukin, an urban sociologist and staunch critic of New York's gentrification, refers to this process as "pacification by cappuccino," a scenario in which urban space is "imagineered" as an entertainment event for the consumption of those who can afford it. This phenomenon is taking place worldwide, and what better season than summer to capitalize on people's use of city space? Paris Plages on the Rive Droite. Source: Choblet et Associés An urban summer staple, Paris Plages is perhaps the most famous and chic of European city beaches. Many Parisians abandon the city in summer for the South of France or countryside vacations. Since  2002, the month-long transformation of the Seine's banks (with the recent addition of La Villete) has aimed to offer a comfortable recreation space for those who remain in the city. The attractions of Paris Plages are mostly free and open to all. An "open air drinking ban," however, has meant that those who once brought a home-made picnic and bottle of wine might now be forced to avail themselves of the many and, according to some, overpriced Paris Plage brasseries instead. Amsterdam City "Beach" on the roof of the NEMO Museum. Source: Tino Morchel Beyond the issues raised by the commodification of public space, critics have questioned the environmental impact of carting in large amounts of sand for such a brief period of time. However, several European capitals now proudly present their summer residents and visitors with at least one man-made beach. Amsterdam, Berlin, Copenhagen, Moscow, Prague and Vienna — to name just a few — are converting city spaces into sandy urban oases for a few weeks every summer. Amsterdam boasts no less than four city beaches, while Copenhagen's most famous summer splash spot is a riff off Copacabana, at least in name. While London has so far resisted the trend, one can still enjoy sand in the shape of a couch in front of the Globe Theatre on the South Bank — before the tide of the mighty Thames wipes it away. Alternatively, during those brief spells of good weather, for £1.50 you can lounge for an hour in a Hyde Park deck chair. Sculpting the sand on London's South Bank.

Until recently, most sunbathing and swimming spots were appropriations of existing river banks and parks rather than eventified realms. Now from Kirovsk and Strogino to Serebryany Bor (a longtime favorite for nudists), Muskovites can enjoy refurbished sporting and barbecue areas equipped with WiFi. Serebryany Bor sunbathers.

However, there is something disconcerting about government officials allowing corporations to reap financial benefits from social activities that were once free and improvised, as public space becomes more and more scarce. + share 1. Very nice article and overview of the different types of public spaces, and urban vacation spots. I appreciate the range of modifications presented from capital intensive concrete steps for chairs to the simple lawn chair in a park. The question I have is whether or not the presence of corporate/business interests makes these types of spaces more sustainable in the long term? What were the conditions 5, 10 or 50 years prior, and has the influence of money undermined the experience of a place? It would be nice to see a follow up showing a comparative case study that demonstrates the pro's and con's of infusing private interests in public space. If this is a trend, it would be best to identify best practices to promote a sensitive and appropriate marriage between public and private agendas. Living briefly in NYC, I am aware of the transformation of Bryant Park, and the dramatic changes that have taken place over the past fifty years. From a derelict space, the park has seen vast improvements from it's previous condition. The public now experiences many free events and activities at the expense of subtle advertising and the presence of businesses such as a sandwich shop. It's not unreasonable, and in contrast to the rampant advertising in the street, I applaud the care taken to make the advertising in Bryant Park subtle. 2. I see the decreasing public character of public spaces as a huge con of involving the private, Bland. And corporate interests do tend to result in just this, also in Bryant Park. Many governments are unaware of the possible effect of private interests on public spaces and the public character of city centers. Undesirables (appointed by commercial stakeholders) are often pushed from city centers which affects, among other things, the sense of community.

Mountains of the Tour de France The course for the Tour de France varies each year (see more about the course), though there are several mountains and passes that commonly feature in the event, and are famous for those who follow the Tour. The most famous mountains are those in the hors-categorie (HC), which are peaks where the difficulty in climbing is beyond categorization. Some HC Peaks These hors-categorie peaks include: Polka Dot Tour de France jerseyRelated Pages follow Topend Sports facebook facebook More Tour de France
If you are worried about not speaking Spanish for your upcoming trip to Costa Rica, you’re not alone. We remember those days too and hear from lots of others who are unsure of how they’ll get by without much or any Spanish. The good news is that many Ticos (Costa Ricans) have some English skills, and others, especially those working in the tourism industry, are quite fluent. Costa Rica is a Spanish-speaking country, however, and you are bound to get some blank stares in certain situations. In this post, we’ll give you some of the most common Spanish words and phrases for your visit to Costa Rica. Simple Spanish for Visiting Costa Rica | Two Weeks in Costa Rica Talking with the Locals Before we start in on the specifics, there is something you should know about talking Spanish to Ticos. Costa Ricans are in general some of the friendliest people on earth. For this reason, they will usually go out of their way to help you. This applies to speaking Spanish as well so don’t feel stupid if the person you are talking to is correcting your pronunciation or word choice. In most instances, they really appreciate that you are trying and only want to help. Another thing that goes along with this is that many Ticos are just as shy about their English skills as you are about your Spanish. If you have the confidence to try speaking some Spanish, you might find that suddenly they get up the courage to use their English too. If you both sound bad but somehow figure it out, everyone wins! Different Scenarios Below are some of the situations you’re likely to encounter on your next trip to Costa Rica. Saying Hello Hola = Hello. This is the basic way to say hello. Buenos días = Good morning Buenas tardes = Good afternoon Buenas noches = Good evening Buenas = Shorthand way of saying hello, any time of day. It is more casual and works in the morning, afternoon, or evening. You’ll hear the locals use this all the time. Saying Goodbye Chao = Bye. The basic way to say goodbye. Adiós = A slightly more formal way of saying goodbye. We have also heard adiós used as a sort of greeting and goodbye. For example, if you are driving past someone walking on the street and want to greet them, you could say adiós instead of hola. The idea is that you aren’t staying around to chat. Hasta luego = See you later, or literally, until later. Hasta mañana = See you tomorrow (“until tomorrow”). Asking for Things Discúlpe = Excuse me (when you need to get someone’s attention). Quiero… = I would like… Necesito… = I need… ¿Tiene…? = Do you have…? Good to use if you’re looking for a certain item at a store (e.g., ¿Tiene Tylenol?) ¿Puedo…? = Can I…? ¿Puede…? = Can you…? ¿Dónde? = Where? ¿Dónde está…? = Where is…? Useful when asking for directions or where something is (¿Dónde está el baño? Where is the bathroom?) ¿Cuanto cuesta? = How much does it cost? ¿Acepta tarjetas de crédito? = Do you accept credit cards? ¿Habla Inglés? = Do you speak English? Some Ticos might reply un poco (a little). ¿De donde eres? = Where are you from? Los Estados Unidos is the United States; Canadá is Canada. Remember that America is used to describe North, Central, and South America. = Yes No = No Tal vez = Maybe Claro = Of course In a Restaurant ¿Para tomar? = What would you like to drink? This is usually the first thing a server will ask you. Agua = Water. You might want una botella de agua (a bottle of water) or agua del tubo (tap water). Una cerveza = A beer. Check out our post about the most popular local beers. Vino = Wine. Vino tinto is red wine and vino blanco is white wine. Café = Coffee. The server will ask you ¿Café con leche o negro? (Coffee with milk or black). Don’t worry, they always bring sugar packets. Refresco naturale = A fruit drink with ice (hielo). Batido = A fruit smoothie. Con agua means blended with ice and con leche means blended with ice and milk (milk shake). Popular Local Dishes Gallo pinto = Breakfast dish of rice and beans mixed together, served alongside eggs and fried plantain. Sometimes comes with fried local cheese (queso), toast (tostadas) or tortillas, and fruit (frutas). Gallo pinto literally translates to painted rooster.          Huevos fritos = Fried eggs          Huevos revueltos = Scrambled eggs Casado = Lunch Plate. Casado translates to “married” and this traditional lunch dish truly has a marriage of flavors. The dish usually consists of rice (arroz) and beans (frijoles), a protein like meat (bistec/steak; chuleta de cerdo/pork chop; or pollo/chicken) or fish (pescado), and several side salads like green salad (ensalada verde), pasta salad (ensalada pasta), etc. Arroz con pollo = Rice with chicken. This is a fried rice dish that is very flavorful. Instead of chicken (pollo), you might also see rice with shrimp (arroz con camarones) and other variations. Sopa = Soup. Common soups are olla de carne (similar to beef stew), sopa de mariscos (seafood soup), and sopa negra (black bean soup, usually with a poached egg). Soups are typically served with a side of white rice. Cashing Out Para llevar = To go (for your leftovers) La cuenta, por favor = The bill, please. In Costa Rica, the server won’t bring this unless you ask for it. Servicio = Service. This is the 10% added to the bill for tip. You can add more if you like. Impuestos ventas = Sales tax (13%) Estación de buses = Bus station Parada de bus = Bus stop Tiquete = Ticket (for the bus, ferry, etc). Not all buses use tickets but it is good to ask. ¿Necesito un tiquete? (Do I need a ticket?). Taxi = Taxi ¿A donde va? = Where are you going? What’s your destination? Voy a… = I am going to… Pare aquí = Stop here ¿Esta es la calle a…? = Is this the road to…? Lleno con regular, por favor = Fill it with regular (gas) please. Gas stations in Costa Rica are always full service. La llanta necesita aire = The tire needs air. We hope these simple Spanish words and phrases will help you feel more comfortable while traveling to Costa Rica. When we first visited almost ten years ago, we had zero knowledge of Spanish and got along fine. Just remember, the one term you need to learn is Pura Vida. This can mean hello, goodbye, and that’s great, but the real meaning is more of an attitude that you will discover once you arrive and will never forget. If you’re looking for a lot more helpful words and phrases, we highly recommend the pocket-sized Costa Rican Spanish Phrasebook by Lonely Planet. This is what we used to carry with us when we were newbies and it got us out of a lot of jams. Notice anything essential missing from our list? Add it to the comments below!

Sign in to myUHN Patient Portal Minor stroke captured on video: Watch as it happens On April 2, 2014, while driving home from work, Stacey Yepes sensed a stroke coming on. She pulled over, pulled out her smartphone and recorded what was happening so others could see. (UHNToronto/YouTube) UPDATE: Stacey Yepes' stroke 'selfie' video goes viral Settled in for the evening on her couch watching TV, 49-year-old Stacey Yepes suddenly felt the left side of her body go numb. Her face froze. -Dr. Cheryl Jaigobin Then, the phone rang. She managed to answer, but slurred her words and couldn't speak properly. The public service announcements for the signs of stroke flashed through Yepes' mind. "Is this what's happening to me?" she thought. Five minutes later, the symptoms subsided and Yepes felt normal again. Shaken by the experience, she went to her local emergency room and get checked out. Tests run at the hospital were clear. She was told that the episode was most likely a result of stress and was given some tips on how to better manage the symptoms. Yepes wasn't convinced. "It's true that I hadn't slept well the last few days and that I have a stressful job," said Yepes, who works as a legal secretary. "But I was pretty sure that the symptoms I had experienced were due to a stroke." Even as Yepes was exiting the hospital that day, she felt that strange numbing sensation return. It passed quickly. She went home and even went to work the next day. Video: 'I don't know why this is happening to me' Two days after her initial episode, while driving home from work, Yepes suddenly felt the left side of her body going numb again. She pulled over as the symptoms returned full force. Then, she had the presence of mind to pull out her smartphone and film herself to show a doctor what she was experiencing. "My tongue feels very numb," she said in the recording as the left side of her face starts to droop. 'Mini-stroke' confirmed Yet again, the symptoms passed and Yepes felt normal. She had now experienced three of these events and was increasingly worried. She went to another hospital for a second opinion. The symptoms she described and the video was enough for staff to suspect a minor stroke. Yepes was referred to the stroke unit of the Krembil Neuroscience Centre (KNC) at Toronto Western Hospital (TWH) – the stroke centre of care of the west region of Toronto. Because Yepes' episodes had been short and had passed each time, she had most likely experienced a transient ischemic attack (TIA) or what's known as a "mini-stroke." Warning sign of more serious stroke TIAs are caused by blood clots and the only difference between a TIA and a full blown stroke is that the TIA is usually temporary. However, they are no less serious as TIAs are considered a warning that a more serious stroke could happen. TWH has Toronto's only day unit to treat TIAs and minor strokes. Called the Transient Ischemic Attack and Minor Stroke (TAMS) Unit, it is dedicated to assessing patients at high risk for stroke and providing them with the necessary interventions to prevent them. Traditionally, patients suffering from a TIA or minor stroke who arrive at a hospital emergency room are either discharged and referred to a stroke prevention clinic or admitted to hospital – averaging a stay of up to three days. The stroke team at the KNC identified a more effective way of treating these patients by creating a unit that rapidly assesses them in a single day. KNC's TAMS Unit: Assessment, resources, treatment Yepes' assessment showed she had suffered a small stroke due to a small blockage in one of the arteries supplying her brain. Further tests confirmed that this was caused by atherosclerosis – or the build-up of plaque in the artery supplying the area of her brain injured in her stroke. Although relieved to have confirmed the cause of her symptoms, Yepes thought she had been leading a relatively healthy lifestyle and was surprised to have suffered a stroke at such a young age. But her neurologist, Dr. Cheryl Jaigobin, noted that it's not uncommon for young people to suffer a stroke. "Strokes can affect people of any age even if they have few risk factors, so it's very important to be aware and to know the signs of a stroke​," said Jaigobin. "There are recent studies that indicate that the incidence of stroke in young patients is increasing. Risk factors such as hypertension, diabetes and elevated cholesterol are now seen in younger patients," she continued. "These findings are reflected in the patients we see in our stroke program.  We treat many patients with stroke that occur at a young age." Preventative measures Jaigobin also recommends that people get their blood pressure and cholesterol levels checked and be screened for diabetes when they go for their annual check-up. ​  "My advice to others is, if you think you're having or had a stroke, don't wait. Go to the hospital and get checked out." –Stacey Yepes​ "Everyone should be proactive about their health and aware of any changes as they age, especially people with a family history of stroke or heart disease," she said. During her assessment in the TAMS unit, Yepes was engaged in her own care and partnered with nurse practitioner Anne Cayley for ongoing education and to develop a treatment plan to prevent any more strokes. Yepes was also referred to an outpatient rehabilitation program to regain strength and improve the function of her left arm. She is slowly but surely adjusting to this altered lifestyle and, like many stroke survivors, is expected to return to a normal life. "I thought I was leading a healthy lifestyle, but since I work two jobs I had a lot of stress in my life, was often eating on the go and didn't have time to exercise regularly," she said. "The TAMS Unit has really taught me a new way of living and how to address these areas so I don't have another stroke." Though she suffered three separate events, she is fortunate they only affected a small area of her brain and she wasn't left paralyzed or with impaired speech. But had she dismissed those initial symptoms, the outcome could have been much worse. "I've since learned that a person's greatest chances to return to pre-stroke strength is within the first three months after their stroke, so my quick reaction to my symptoms to get treatment is contributing to my recovery," said Yepes. "My advice to others is, if you think you're having or had a stroke, don't wait. Go to the hospital and get checked out." Share This Story Share Tweet Email
An ill-fitting new home for the National Zoo's elephants By Peter Stroud Sunday, August 22, 2010 I visited the National Zoo for the first time on a cold and rainy afternoon last fall. For more than 15 years, I have been deeply engaged with questions about captive elephant welfare, so I was particularly interested to see how the Smithsonian Institution had spent a colossal $50 million on Elephant Trails, the new home for its elephants set to open in early September. Since that visit, I have continued to follow the work on Elephant Trails. As a former zoo curator and director, I know that zoo development projects are complex and time-consuming, with many competing issues to balance. There are engineering and design challenges, visitor needs to be accounted for, restrictions imposed by the landscape and climate, and, of course, the welfare of the animals to consider. The needs of wild animals in zoos can be hard to define, but there are a few basic rules. Top of the list is checking carefully the key aspects of a creature's life in the wild. What does it do with its days and nights? How far does it move and why? How does it interact with others of its kind? Generally speaking, this sort of accounting works well, and many zoo programs create conditions and routines for animals that are broadly analogous to life in the wild. But the bigger the animal, the more difficult this becomes, especially where space is limited, the terrain difficult and the way of life of the species so complex that it is almost impossible to simulate. Take, for instance, elephants at the National Zoo. Elephants need space. Zoo people will often say it's the quality of the space that matters, and indeed it is -- to a point. Why, then, is the Elephant Trails landscape so unimaginative? There are sweeping green lawns and a shallow-looking pool, but little shade or shelter. The exhibit looks more like a golf course than an elephant habitat. There is nothing to engage or challenge an elephant. Elephants need exercise. There is what the zoo calls an Exercise Trek -- a there-and-back route up a hill -- but it seems to be designed for elephants to be walked, circus-style, up and down, under the control of a handler. Elephants have soft feet and should never be made to walk any distance on concrete or asphalt, but the route is paved. Elephants like to dust-bathe and wallow in mud. They like to dig and clamber about, and they like to rest against mounds of soft earth. Where are the piles of loose earth and sand? Where are the scratching posts? Where is the varied terrain, the boulders and logs and mud wallows? Why all this close-cropped green grass that will be worn away in mere days by pachyderm feet? There are some good aspects to the exhibit. It provides more room for the elephants than they had previously, always a good thing. The surroundings will be lush and green in spring and summer. But the things that are wrong are glaring if you consider how wild elephants live and how elephants could live in captivity. Fortunately, some of what I have listed above is fixable. Harder to address are the problems for zoo visitors. It's generally accepted by zoo designers that it's a bad idea to place the viewer high above the animals. Visitors feel disconnected; the animals look small and remote. Better to put the viewer close up, at or below animal eye level, to create a sense of immediate engagement. This works better for the animals, too. Few species feel comfortable with activity going on above their heads. Why, then, is one of the principal viewing points for the new exhibit a bridge soaring high above the elephant paddocks? It's hard to think of a better way to make an elephant look insignificant, an odd approach to showcasing one of nature's most spectacular creatures. The Smithsonian Institution declares that it exists for the "increase and diffusion of knowledge." It seems strange, then, that an elephant exhibit has been created that fails to account for what sound science tells us about elephants and their needs. It's as if a lot of published knowledge has been ignored. Unless improvements are made, Elephant Trails will fail to convey any real sense of what an elephant is.

Hi all, I have a .CGI web page written in PERL language. The CGI script loads the information from a database. So when i start the CGI page in my browser and it will only have a value in the whole page. As in when the whole page started in the browser will have only a few characters. Let say it retrieve Temperature recorded and which is stored in the database. So the whole page when loaded will only show 1 temperature. Which is "36.6" and will change when ever the database receive a newer data. In additional, i have a html page. There are tables in the page whereby show information. Like tables having temperature, id, sound and light columns. My Question is that Am i able to load the numbers/characters show on the CGI page directly into the table or any where in the HTML page? What i can think of is putting up a link to the CGI page on the HTML file and click it when i want to view it.But it would just be too troublesome. Lastly, thank you all for your time in reading and please pardon me for my bad English and weak HTML skills as I'm still learning. Thanks & best regards

A careful history, examination and knowledge of normal development allow a Podiatrist to treat where necessary or in most cases reassure the parents.  Normal Development  The new-born infant’s skeleton consists of mainly cartilaginous bone which alters with external stresses. The hips of a new born face outwards at birth and are flexed due to a ‘close packed’ position in utero. Hip screening is done at birth and again at 6 weeks by the paediatrician and GP for developmental hip dysplasia (DDH). A condition where there is misalignment of the hip joint.  Predisposing factors to DDH  Signs and Symptoms  Breech Position  Reduce motion in the hip  Family History  Affected leg shorter  Asymmetrical gluteal (bottom) folds  First Born  A podiatrist with a specialist interest in paediatrics would be able to assess the hip for DDH and associated pathologies.  As the child continues to develop the legs appear to be bowed from the age of 10 months to 14 months, the average age when children start to ambulate. This continues up until the age of two and they then become maximally knocked knees at the age of three, a normal pattern of development.  However, there is a resurgent of nutritional rickets secondary to Vitamin D deficiency. Bowed legs are typical of rickets and needs to be excluded. Obesity is also a growing concern and has been proposed to increase the incidence of flat feet and conditions such as ‘Blount’s Disease’, a disturbance of the tibial growth plate.  Features that raise concern and warrant specialist referral:  Knocked knees in a child aged less than 2 years  Bowed knees in a child aged more than 3 years  Any asymmetrical findings  90% of concerns to GP’s are regarding flat feet. Toddlers and neonates have flat feet due to the presence of a fad pad under the arch, ligamentous laxity, lack of neuromuscular control and normal rotations of the one of the foot bones (talus). This typically resolves between the ages of 4-8 years of age. Treatment before this age can result in a premature arrest of the normal rotations of the foot bones. Treatment therefore is dependent on several factors predominately symptoms of pain and severity of deformity.  However a specialist podiatrist would be able to determine the difference between a flexible and rigid flat foot, i.e. one that would require further examination, x-rays and onward referral.  Intoeing (pigeon-toed gait), tripping and falling is another concern that often results in a podiatric referral. There are 4 main causes of intoeing 2 of which relate to rotational variants of the femur and tibia. 30% toddlers present with intoeing which continues in only 5-9% school age children and proceeds to only 1-3% adults. Treatment for intoeing therefore remains debatable. We as podiatrists treat when symptomatic with simple inserts that encourages the child to rotate the foot out.  Parents are also encouraged to monitor the child’s sleeping and sitting positions as they are both influential over the rotation of the femur. ‘W’ or ‘reversed tailor’ positions and sleeping on their tummy is discouraged.  Milestones are a good gauge of development and must always be discussed during examination. A delay of the milestones could be indicative of a neurological condition.  Head Control  1-2 months lift and turn head briefly  3-4 months stronger  Looks around  Rolls from front to back  Sits Alone  8 months  Can raise self to sitting  8-10 months  Stand, Walks Run  9-15 months  12months- stands/walks with support  15 months creeps upstairs  Hop Alternate Feet  4 years old  In the foetus the foot grows quickly until the eight week and slows down until week 14 when it rapidly grows to week 26 and then till term. The average weekly foetal foot growth is 3mm. Foot growth is rapid until the child is 5 years of age then reduces up until skeletal maturity which is around 12 in girls and 14 in boys.  Musculoskeletal symptoms are one of the leading reasons of referrals to general practitioners accounting for over 10% of the referrals. To manage the problem effectively, it is essential to determine the level of the deformity, as it may occur anywhere between the foot and the hip.  A podiatrist who specialises in paediatrics is able to assess from birth for hip pathologies and conditions. They are able to assess and treat where necessary knee pathology, in-toeing, out-toeing, growing pains, toe-walkers, flatfeet, juvenile bunions, verrucae etc.  Manju Mital (Paediatric Podiatrist)
Prevent Direct Execution of EXE The sample code here is pretty simple: #include "mainwindow.h" #include <QApplication> int main(int argc, char *argv[]) QApplication a(argc, argv); if (argc <= 1) return 0; if (argv[1] != "yourpassword") return 0; MainWindow w;; return a.exec(); In the example above, your EXE will simply pop out an error message that says “Please run MyGame.exe instead.” if you double click on it directly. This is because the argc variable is either 0 or 1 (depending on platform, which means no additional input argument during launch) if you run it directly. However, if there is one or more arguments being dumped to the program during launch, check (within the argv array) whether the second argument (the first argument is usually the program’s name) matches your secret phrase or password before allowing the program to launch. Usually there will be input arguments if the user drag one or more files to the EXE to make it launch, as this is very useful for programs like text editors or image editors. That’s why we must check if the argument matches your password or not. Now that your program can no longer be run directly, what about the updater? How to ask the updater to execute your main program with an input argument? It’s actually pretty easy as well. In the following example I will be using C/C++ and Qt, but it should be similar across different programming languages and platforms: QProcess *process = new QProcess(this); delete process; That’s all, it’s very simple to achieve. The tutorial above is by no mean professional: Technical names and phrases are not necessarily accurate, and the method used is not necessarily the standard way. I’m just trying to share what I know and what I did with my own projects. Peace. Gigabyte BRIX (Intel NUC) GB-XM12-3227 Review So… the other day I bought this Gigabyte BRIX barebone which is basically an Intel NUC system, but manufactured by Gigabyte. I’ve tried the vanilla Intel NUC systems before and it worked great, except the older generation which had over-heating issue but resolved after adding a thermal pad to it as well as a firmware upgrade, but overall still pretty okay I guess. Now, back to Gigabyte BRIX, specifically the GB-XM12-3227 model. I can’t talk about the other models as I have never used it before, so let’s just stick to this one. All-and-all, it worked fine at first. It booted up Windows 10 without any problem, HDMI connected to the monitor without any problem, great resolution, etc. UNTIL I tried to use the web browser. Even though the internet status is “connected”, I still couldn’t use the damn internet on my browser. After hours and hours of research and trials, I realized that the issue is the firmware. Not only it’s old (from 2013), but it’s supposedly for Windows 8.1, and not Windows 10. Went to Gibabyte’s website to look for the latest drivers, and guess what, they only have firmware updates up to 2014, so still, no Windows 10 support. Further more, I downloaded the latest BIOS and tried to flash it, only to realize the BIOS utility doesn’t support 64-bit Windows, because it is a god-damn Windows XP Service Pack 2 executable file! Then, I went to Windows 10’s Device Manager and check out my wireless network adapter’s properties. This is when I realized the WiFi adapter only supports up to IEEE 802.11b/g and not the newer IEEE 802.11b/g/n, which unfortunately is what I set on my router. So then I moved over to my router’s admin page and changed the Transmission Mode to the appropriate setting. I have no idea what’s causing this. Outdated BIOS? Outdated drivers? I have no idea. However, despite able to connect to the internet now, the speed is still very limited. Often time it took roughly 20 seconds or more just to load a web page. Then, I used a Chinese software called 360安全卫士 (translated as “360 Safety Guard”) and went to the “Optimization and Speed-up” page. That particular page contains an automated scan-and-fix feature which includes “network speed-up” option. After running the optimization process, my wireless network is finally back to usable state! What sorcery is that?? (However, IEEE 802.11b/g/n is still not supported). Overall, the Gigabyte BRIX works okay except the BIOS and drivers are really outdated and urgently need an update. That’s all for today, have a nice day folks.

Tag Archives: Art This Ain’t a Trash Story with Mia Lauzon This week, Zero Waste Canada talks with Mia Lauzon, a artist, photographer, environmentalist about her project “This Ain’t a Trash Story”. Mia recently was part of Creatively United for the Planet’s inspirational Earth day event in Victoria B.C. In 2010, Mia Lauzon while volunteering in Ecuador came upon the trashed-filled beach of Bunche on the Pacific Ocean and this is where Jenny, Leopol, Isaac, Oscar and Rebecca came to life. Jenny, Isaac, Leopol, Oscar and Rebecca Your art has a purpose, could you explain what you want to achieve? I believe that like the characters I created, life is made up of multiple pieces, interacting and connecting in unsuspected ways, creating a whole. As one part of this whole, humans have to understand how their actions and choices impact the rest of it. I hope to bring awareness to the true cost of our lifestyle. Above all, I want people to know that it doesn’t have to be a trash story and like I did on that beach, they can change the narrative into one of creation, connectedness and beauty. I want for everyone to feel the uplifting energy of being part of the solution, working together with Mother Nature and all our brothers and sisters. How did your volunteer experience in Ecuador impact what you are doing today with This Ain’t a Trash Story? Is litter a problem in Ecuador? The volunteering I’ve done out there had nothing to do with the trash-filled beach, even though, the organization would put up some beach clean-ups from time to time. Unfortunately it would take a very short time before it would be filled with  plastic again as it kept being pushed along the shores of this little bay, carried by the ocean currents. Which amount was coming from Ecuadorian communities versus what was carried by the ocean from miles away, I do not know. One thing I know is that recycling infrastructures were almost nonexistent out there. It was one thing to clean the beach but there was nowhere for this plastic to go and be properly recycled. It would simply go from the beach to the landfill, spoiling another landscape. People learn in many ways, do you feel that by creating art from the found litter on beaches people can learn about plastic pollution and change behaviours? I consider that more you engage with something, less foreign it becomes to you and more you connect with it. So yes, my hope is that by creating an experience, I also help creating emotional connections, leading towards awareness and behavior changes​. The characters Jenny, Isaac, Leopol, Oscar and Rebecca you have created from waste found on the beach, look like friendly cartoonish illustrations from children books, yet that tooth paste tube or sandal on the beach is not a thing of beauty and is disruptive to nature, do you feel that is part of the power of the message in the art? — Humans are fundamentally creative yet we seem to forget the true sense of it. Engaging in a creative process is reconnecting with the essence of being human. And we surely need to get back to our essence in order to create the change that will help us find balance and harmony with the Earth. Now, storytelling has been a component of human identity since the beginning of time, really. It helps us relate to the world, understand it and understand ourselves. So there is a huge emotional charge coming with storytelling and I truly believe that sharing our own stories is a great way to empower ourselves. Once empowered, we can choose a better story for the world. Do you feel that by engaging people in a creative process with the storytelling component that people can be reached emotionally? I’d say so, yes. The sources of information are multiple and the attention spend is to a minimal, suffering from this state of overstimulation. I am learning to accept that I can’t get everyone’s attention, I can’t touch everyone.  That’s why it so important to have different voices out there, bringing their own color to the sustainability topic, resonating in different ways with different type of people.  I can only hope that my approach might be the one that will make the difference for some. History can offer examples of artist contributing to social awareness of environmental issues. In the nineteenth century landscape artists like Thomas Moran by showing the beauty of places like the Grand Canyon of Yellowstone helped to cause policy-makers to create conservations efforts like legal status for a park or reserve. Do you think artists can influence policy makers today to take action to reduce plastic pollution and reduce waste? I think that artists and anyone can do it. We all have an impact. We are like raindrops, creating ripples, influencing everyone and everything on our way. Personally, I choose to use my voice and skills as a positive influence and agent for change. I encourage everyone else to do so. Now, the gift of artists might be in their ability to touch others, therefore yes I believe they can help rally people, gain momentum and influence policy makers and consumers alike. You recently participated in The Creatively United for the Planet Earth Day event in Victoria BC, part of your interactive display was to ask “How do you choose to create a better world”, what kind of responses did you get from the participants? It was interesting to me to see how people seemed to have a hard time figuring out what they did to create a better world. I don’t think it is because they do nothing, I think it is more because a lot of the little things that make a difference towards making a better world get overlooked. Another thing that came out is how people would give suggestions on how to create a better world instead of embodying their own actions. They would write Use less plastic instead of I use less plastic, Stop shopping and Start growing instead of I have stopped shopping and replaced it by growing my own food, Don’t litter and pick up others instead of Even though I don’t litter, I make a point of picking up others’ litter wherever I find it.  Is it because we still think that as an individual, we don’t make the difference and that’s the others that have to change to make a real difference? Food for thought! Here are some of my favorite answers: cherishing the old instead of buying into the pressure of getting new stuff all the time, making a driftwood Christmas tree with the kids and returning it to the beach at the end of the festivities and a teenager wrote : Remember that stuff does not equal happiness! Loved it! What are your plans for This Ain’t a Trash Story? That’s a good question!  Creatively United was marking the official public beginning of it. I learned a lot from the way people were interacting or not with the display and content. I wish I can keep inspiring more people and growing a bigger community through my facebook page. I also want to get a blog started and share stories of people making the world a better place in their own way. I would love to lead workshops at some points, helping people to be empowered when comes time to BE the change.Through creativity, beauty and playfulness, I want to keep sharing my vision of the world and what is worth protected out there. In true honesty, I am giving myself the next 6 months to explore and gain more clarity on what is my own unique gift and how I can best spread the love I have for the beauty of this world and how it all connects and come back to us and our choices and actions. How do you choose to create a better world? I have chosen to live a simple life with a minimal imprint, always keeping in mind the bigger picture of my consumption choices and acting accordingly. I almost exclusively shop in second hand stores, bring my reusable bags and containers to the grocery stores and refuse single use items as much as I can. I try to ride my bike more than my car, I go to the local Repair Café and get my stuff fixed instead of getting anything new, I borrow what I occasionally need instead of buying it. I show kindness and compassion to others, in an effort to keep positive energy flowing. I do my best to empower others and show support to people in my life so they can be their best possible self, to the benefit of all. I share my vision of all the beauty I see and feel, hoping it can inspire and uplift others. This is not a story about trash instead it is a story about creating a better story for the world. We all have the power to create a meaningful story, one of unity, care and respect for all there is! To join in for an uplifting story or to book workshops:
Fixing bugs like it's 1988 I grew up in the 80's, the decade home computers went from curiosity to mainstream. In primary school we had several Philips P2000T home computers and a pair of Apple Macintosh — ehm, Macintoshes? Two of those, anyway. A friend had a C64 we used to play games on, and at some point my dad bought a C128 for his financial administration. (What I really love is the fact that, to this day, he is still doing his financial administration on a C128, albeit an emulated one. He is an "if it ain't broke don't fix it" kinda guy.) Soon after the C128, we got a C64. Where the C128 was for business, the C64 was for fun. I have fond memories playing games such as Space Taxi, Super Cycle, Velicopede, Last Ninja II, and Electrix, to name a few. It was also the computer that got me into programming. With the invention of the World Wide Web still a couple of years off, learning to program mostly involved reading books and magazines. Computer magazines would often publish source code listings which the reader could type in. The result could be anything: A game, a disk copy tool, a drawing program for GEOS, or, more often than not, something that didn't quite work because of typos. At some point, magazines started publishing listings with a checksum added to each line. They offered special tools that would compute the checksum of each line you typed, and checked it against the checksum you typed in at the end of the line. This helped a lot. Still, it must have been one of the slowest and most error prone ways to copy a computer program in the history of computer programs. It was fun though, or at least, that's what I thought. One such magazine was Commodore Dossier, a "practical magazine for the active Commodore owner", which ran from 1984 until 1988. The 17th issue, which was also the last issue, featured a type-in listing for a rather interesting game. It was called Blindganger, which translates to dud, but was used to mean blind person (ganger literally means go-er, someone who goes). The cover of Commodore Dossier, issue 17. In the aftermath of what one can only imagine must have been a proper night on the town, the blind guy in question somehow wakes up inside the city sewers. It's the player's job to guide him back to the streets using only the sounds created by his white cane for guidance. The city's wastewater division, being exceptionally keen on sewer hygiene, flushes the sewers every five minutes. Each flush lands our blind guy someplace else inside the sewers, from where he has to restart his search for the exit. On the third flush the game ends. A map of the sewers is displayed, showing the location of the exit as well as the locations visited by the player. Having typed-in the listing sometime in the fall of 1988, I started the game. It had a sprite animation of a bat flying in front of the full moon on an otherwise completely black screen, which I thought was pretty cool. However, I couldn't figure out the controls. The sewer map should have helped, of course, but something was wrong with it. The locations marked as visited on the map did not seem to match the path I thought I had taken. Also, sections of wall would often be marked as visited. An example of a sewer map produced by the original game. After a couple of tries I gave up and went on to do other things, but this business with the sewer map and the incomprehensible controls somehow stuck with me. And so, when I came across a scan of this particular issue of Commodore Dossier I knew it was time to sort it out once and for all. Of course, before I could start, I had to type in the listing again. Back in 1988, I lacked the checksum tool published by Commodore Dossier. Maybe the map of the sewers was messed up just because of my not-quite-touch-typing skills? A quick Google search turned up a disk image that contained a program called "CHECKSUM DOSSIER". This sounded promising! To confirm, I ran the program and typed a short line from the Blindganger listing: "240 RETURN", followed by the checksum "7E". Then I tried inserting a typo either in the line itself or in the checksum. In both cases, this resulted in the message "FOUT IN REGEL", or "ERROR IN LINE", being printed on the screen. Oh yeah! Ain't that cute, BUT IT'S WRONG!! I typed in the listing using the checksum tool. Parts of the scan were of rather low quality and here the tool really helped a lot. I often found myself trying variants of some line and its checksum until I found a combination that matched. So far, so good. Now I had a copy of the original that was guaranteed to be free of typos. Surely, this copy would not produce the same sewer maps as the copy I typed in back in 1988. But... it did! To find out why, I needed to locate the code that displays the map of the sewers. The sewer map is displayed when the game ends, which happens when the player finds the exit or when the sewers are flushed for the third time. Concentrating on the second case, I looked through the BASIC listing of the game for a check on zero or three. Sure enough, on line 1780, the variable MAAL is compared to zero. This variable is initialized to three on line 1550 and counts down on each flush of the sewers. The block of code on lines 1810 – 1840 is executed if MAAL equals zero. Line 1840 is an endless loop. Looking at the other three lines of BASIC, our next target is the machine code subroutine located at memory address 16540 ($409C). 1810 POKECROSS+4096,1 :REM MARK EXIT ON THE MAP 1820 SYS16540 :REM COPY MAP TO SCREEN 1840 GOTO1840 :REM ENDLESS LOOP This subroutine consists of two parts. The first part copies 1000 bytes from the memory region starting a $6000 to screen memory ($0400 – $07E7). This fills the entire screen (40 columns times 25 rows = 1000 bytes) with a map of the sewers. As it turns out, this part does not contain any bugs. The map of the sewers may look strange, until you notice that all of the blocky bits are walls, '@' marks a horizontal section of pipe, 'A' marks a vertical section of pipe, 'B' through 'J' mark different types of corners and crossings, 'K' marks a pit, and 'L' marks the exit. These characters are not random. They correspond to screen codes 0 through 12. The map is just a dump to the screen of the internal representation of the sewers used in the game. The second part of the subroutine copies 1000 bytes from the memory region starting at $7000 to color RAM ($D800 – $DBE7). This marks all visited locations with the color yellow. L40CB: LDA #$FF ; >-- initialization -- STA $FB ; | LDA #$6F ; | STA $FC ; | LDA #$F4 ; | STA $FD ; | LDA #$D7 ; | STA $FE ; <-------------------- LDX #$04 ; >-- outer loop ----------------- L40DD: LDY #$FA ; >-- inner loop I --- | L40DF: LDA ($FB),Y ; (copy bytes) | | STA ($FD),Y ; | | DEY ; | | LDY #$FA ; >-- inner loop II ----------- | L40E8: INC $FB ; (update base addresses) | | BNE L40EE ; | | INC $FC ; | | L40EE: INC $FD ; | | BNE L40F4 ; | | INC $FE ; | | L40F4: DEY ; | | DEX ; | The bytes are copied in four blocks of 250 bytes. The outer loop uses the X-register to count from 4 down to 0. LDX #$04 ; inner loop BNE L40DD The first inner loop uses the Y-register to count from #$FA (250) down to 0. L40DD: LDY #$FA L40DF: LDA ($FB),Y STA ($FD),Y BNE L40DF Indirect-indexed addressing is used to copy bytes in the inner loop. In this addressing mode, the Y-register is used as an offset that is added to a 16-bit base address stored in zeropage. For example, the instruction LDA ($FB),Y is executed as follows: • Read the litte-endian 16-bit base address stored in zeropage locations $FB and $FC. Little endian byte order means the least significant byte is stored at the lowest address ($FB). $FB is initialized to #$FF and $FC to #$6F, so the 16-bit base address is $6FFF. • Add the value of the Y-register to the base address to compute the effective address. The Y-register is initialized to #$FA at the beginning of the loop. Adding to $6FFF yields $70F9 as the effective address. • Load a byte from the effective address into the accumulator (A-register). The Y-register counts down from 250 to 0. Note that the smallest value of Y used as an index is 1. (When the DEY instruction decreases Y to zero, the following BNE branch instruction will fall through, exiting the inner loop.) The first byte to load is located at $7000. Because the minimal value of Y is 1, the source base address needs to be initialized to $7000 - 1 = $6FFF. Similarly, the first byte to store is located at $D800, so the target base address should be initialized to $D800 - 1 = $D7FF. Instead, it is initialized to $D7F4! Accidentally typing #$F4 instead of #$FF is not very likely. But in decimal, this corresponds to typing 244 instead of 255. It seems the original author accidentally hit the 4 instead of the 5 while typing the constant 255! This shifts the colors used in the sewer map by 11 positions relative to the map itself. In turn, this means the locations marked as visited on the map are wrong. The offending byte resides in a data statement on line 3670 of the BASIC listing: 3670 DATA 252,169,244,133,253 After changing it to the correct value of 255, the sewer map displays correctly. And that's that.... bug fixed after 29 years! To celebrate, I've put together a 2017 version of the original game that includes this fix, as well as fixes for several other issues I came across while going over the code: • Visited locations are correctly displayed on the sewer map shown at the end of the game. • The time penalty for falling down a pit is taken into account when computing the amount of time left. • The street noise volume is set such that it depends on the distance to the exit (as intended by the original authors). • English translation. (Press and hold the H-key during the game to view the online help.) Blindganger 2017 is also available as a BASIC listing including checksums. For the authentic 80's experience, just download and run the Commodore Dossier checksum tool (see link below) and start typing! In the next episode, we will make some improvements to the (now correct) sewer map to make it easier to understand (see the example below). X marks the spot! Related links: 1. Very interesting! BTW what software package is your father using for finances? I'm a sucker for CBM retro. 1. You probably won't be familiar with it. The program is called Bookspeed. My father is a general practitioner. Bookspeed was written by J.L van Geijlswijk, another GP. It was specifically written for GPs to do their accounting. It was fairly comprehensive, featuring double entry accounting, annual balance sheet generation, et cetera. It stored the data entered by the user as part of the program itself as DATA statements. I remember having to fix the disk image by hand from inside the emulator using Disk Doctor, because my dad had closed the emulator in the middle of a write. Fun times! 2. Very nice story! Had similar experiences with my ZX Spectrum and badly printed, hard to read source code listings found in various magazines. On a related note: I also used the Spectrum for some of my homework in highschool - calculating parabolas and such. Back then it was called chaeting, where as today, I might have been considered the next Bill Gates or something... 3. I echo Marc Carson's sentiment: would be great to know what finance app your dad uses for the C128. Also, that is one hell of a cool debugging project, well done! 4. Wow. I love this. It'd be nice to see/hear a video of the game in all its fixed glory. 1. Thanks! Actually, I think a video would get pretty boring pretty fast. You really have to play it to get into it. The game needs (plenty of) your imagination. Like Rogue on the PC, if you're familiar with that. Unless you can convince yourself that 'B' is a ferocious bat and 'Z' really is a zombie, it stays rather dull. 5. Fun read, nostalgia warming the heart. Thanks! And I too would be curious to know what software your father is still using... 6. Crying from nostalgia here. Think it was more like 1983, writing self-taught machine code directly to memory.... and programming the sound chip from the register list that was in the printed manual YOU GOT WITH THE MACHINE! 7. Wow. What incredible commitment to revising the imperfect past. Have some groovy 80's-ish music on us: Also, capital L Love Commodore, but came much later to the party.

A Philosopher's Blog Food & The Future Posted in Business, Environment, Technology by Michael LaBossiere on January 2, 2012 English: Description: Concentrated animal feed... Image via Wikipedia Throughout most of human history getting enough to eat has been a serious problem. The Green Revolution changed this for many humans. The Junk Revolution also changed things, especially in the United States: now we have significant numbers of people who are both obese and malnourished.  There is currently talk of  Blue Revolution in which aquaculture (farming fish, mollusks and so on) changes things on a large scale. Whatever the color of the next revolution, food will be an ever increasing matter of concern. One point of significant concern is that modern agriculture tends towards monoculture. That is, factory farms will typically grow vast amounts of a single species of plant (or animal). While this does allow for efficiency and uniformity, there are some serious problems with this approach, as shown by the infamous Great Famine of Ireland. By relying heavily on a very small number of crop species we are very vulnerable to the impact of crop pests, diseases, and so on. While the use of pesticides and other means have helped, this is obviously a losing battle-we are simply contributing to the selection of the pests and diseases that can withstand our attacks. It is, obviously enough, simply a matter of time before we will not be able to keep up. The obvious solution is to move away from monoculture to having more diverse crops. While this will change the nature of factory farming, it will make us less vulnerable to pests and diseases.  It will also provide people with greater variety in their food choices. Another point of concern is that our agricultural methods rely heavily on chemicals. Modern crops are drenched in pesticides, herbicides and fertilizer. In many cases this is overdone, thus wasting money and also adding more chemicals to the environment than necessary. There is also the obvious concern that these chemicals are having a significant impact on the environment and our bodies. Changing our approach to a less chemical intensive one will save money and also reduce the impact on the environment. A third point of concern is the rapidly growing population in general and the growing number of affluent people. More people means, obviously enough, more food consumption. Having more affluent (relatively speaking) people generally means an increased demand for “luxury” foods like meat and seafood. Since the earth is finite and limited in resources, there is obviously a point at which the earth simply cannot support the dietary needs of the human population. While technology will expand this carrying capacity, this is also not limitless. Making matters worse is the fact that growing meat and seafood is far more resource intensive that raising plant crops.  While the exact numbers  vary, creating a pound of farmed meat can take up to 16 pounds of plant feed. In any case, animals convert plant food to meat inefficiently, so growing plants to feed meat animals is a very inefficient way of feeding the human population. However, humans tend to really like meat and there is a strong psychological link between wealth and the consumption of meat (some also link eating meat with being “manly” or “macho” while vegetarianism is often seen as being for “sissies”). As such, as the world’s middle class begins to grow, they will demand even more meat. Unfortunately, the world probably does not have the capacity to produce enough meat for the expanding middle classes (at the very least, the planet could not provide enough for everyone on earth to eat like the average American) which could lead to some problems. Given the finite resources and growing populations (especially populations that will demand meat and seafood) it seems reasonable to consider that the future will see a return to conflicts over croplands and growing space. Hitler claimed he was looking for “elbow room” for his people and we might see new wars fought for “hamburger room.” This is, obviously enough, not inevitable. Technological and social changes might head off the problem or their might be a die back of the human population from other causes.

General Relativity and Quantum Cosmology Title: Constant-roll Inflation in $F(R)$ Gravity Abstract: We propose the study of constant-roll inflation in $F(R)$ gravity. We use two different approaches, one that relates an $F(R)$ gravity to well known scalar models of constant-roll and a second that examines directly the constant-roll condition in $F(R)$ gravity. With regards to the first approach, by using well known techniques, we find the $F(R)$ gravity which realizes a given constant-roll evolution in the scalar-tensor theory. We also perform a conformal transformation in the resulting $F(R)$ gravity and we find the Einstein frame counterpart theory. As we demonstrate, the resulting scalar potential is different in comparison to the original scalar constant-roll case, and the same applies for the corresponding observational indices. Moreover, we discuss how cosmological evolutions that can realize constant-roll to constant-roll eras transitions in the scalar-tensor description, can be realized by vacuum $F(R)$ gravity. With regards to the second approach, we examine directly the effects of the constant-roll condition on the inflationary dynamics of vacuum $F(R)$ gravity. We present in detail the formalism of constant-roll $F(R)$ gravity inflationary dynamics and we discuss how the inflationary indices become in this case. We use two well known $F(R)$ gravities in order to illustrate our findings, the $R^2$ model and a power-law $F(R)$ gravity in vacuum. As we demonstrate, in both cases the parameter space is enlarged in comparison to the slow-roll counterparts of the models, and in effect, the models can also be compatible with the observational data. Finally, we briefly address the graceful exit issue.

The power of math can be exponential When I was in elementary school, my parents made sure that I learned. They knew that all of my subjects were important, certainly. But I have special memories of discussing literature and history over the dinner table. They made sure that I really LEARNED my math. I had some terrific teachers in all of those subjects. Somewhere along the line, though, I developed a special appreciation for math. As a result, I majored in business in college. It is certainly not a leap, since business is full of math. For the past 5 years, I have been a professional tutor, and have loved it. Although I tutor MANY subjects, the one that is in the most demand is math. I have a special love for tutoring pre-algebra and algebra. I practically skip through my day on the days I will be teaching math. I make it a special goal to help my students not only understand math, but perhaps to even fall in love with it. It used to be that I would comb book sale tables at the library and garage sales for novels. But these days, I scour them for math textbooks. I am on the lookout for innovative explanations and examples that will help my students. I am quite enamored with Khan academy, as he explains so many things so well. I always let my families know about his resource.  It is a terrific site to visit. You don’t have to be a student ~ he has tutorials on all kinds of things. Here is the site ~ go ahead, take a look. I will wait. Many of my competitors think that I am crazy to tell them about a free resource. MY goal is to turn my students into independent learners, so that they can soar like eagles at some point. Through my tutoring, and multiple resources, they can learn every day, even when they are not in a session with me. To those students who ask the typical question “Why do I have to learn this? When will I EVER have to use it in REAL life?” I smile and tell them a story. When I took Algebra 2/Trigonometry in high school, I had a fabulous math teacher. His name (really and truly) was Mr. John Wayne. He was the tennis coach, and he was a great math teacher. One day I was particularly frustrated. I raised my hand and  asked him those very questions. He just smiled at me. He tossed his chalk up and down, catching it every time. Then he said, “some day, years from now, you will be using algebra in ways you cannot even begin to imagine today. When you do, I hope you will think of me”. Believe me, I do think of him. After all, I walk in his magnificent footsteps when I tutor math. I raise my eyes to the heavens, and I say, “thanks.  I LOVE algebra, and I completely understand why you taught it”. I tell my students that learning is SO important. It IS worthwhile. I loved this article that I have included at the end of this post. First person: Math has power over all else By Kevin Levine Friday January 10, 2014 9:03 PM For as  long as I can remember, I’ve liked numbers. I like math. That puts me in a powerful minority. People who understand and embrace math wield the most powerful weapon ever made. Let’s dispense with the obvious reasons that math is powerful. The most effective (destructive) weapons rely on physics, or the science of equations, and chemistry. (Try making a stable mixture of chemicals without math.) Some of the constructive uses are equally powerful: Medicines, medical equipment, roller coasters, air travel and cellular technology all rely on math. Yet the true power of math comes from the ignorance and fear of it. One of my earliest memories of math’s potency stems from this: “Four out of 5 dentists recommend sugarless gum for their patients who chew gum.” Anyone of a certain age knows the saying from a Trident gum commercial. I remember thinking as a child that Trident gum must be good for me. That’s power. Before long, I started asking questions: Which doctors? Why didn’t the fifth doctor recommend sugarless gum? How many doctor s were asked? A few years later: Do these dentists work for Trident? Why would dentists recommend gum at all? How often is a statistic presented as fact, in a vacuum, without supporting documentation or an understanding of the source of the statistic? A statistic is used as a club to hammer home a message. When one doesn’t understand all that went into generating the statistic, its power becomes immense — a blunt instrument that relies on the general population’s dislike, and ignorance, of math. How about math as an economic weapon? Isn’t it wonderful that tuna fish (or peanut butter or jelly) hasn’t gone up in price in years? Thank math. The tuna can contained 8 ounces, then 6 ounces, then 5 ounces. Incremental changes in volume go unnoticed because the price remains constant. Consumers think: “Wow, tuna prices are stable.” The tuna company thinks: “Wow, consumers are ignorant.” Politicians love math, too. They cherry-pick one statistic from an obscure report commissioned by an obscure group whose agenda might not be to the betterment of humanity. Politicians use math to convince us that everything would be OK if we just cut fraud and abuse in the welfare system. They use math to confirm that the American education system is failing. They use math to justify increased spending in their districts while bemoaning the spending everywhere else. Politicians thrive on the public’s fear and ignorance of math. The only way to weaken math’s destructive capabilities is to embrace math. Instead of telling our children we weren’t good in math, we should tell them that math is the secret to power — that it will make them creative, competitive, powerful, less prone to scams and more valuable in the workplace. We should tell our children to respectfully question authority, especially when numbers are used as weapons. Mastering math, our children should learn, is akin to mastering the most powerful weapon on Earth. Kevin Levine, 48, of Bexley teaches sixth-grade math at Karrer Middle School in Dublin.

Kathy says: Love it! Texas has decided to drop Algebra II as a graduation requirement. I have very mixed feelings about this change in our curriculum.While some students are not going to go to college and their trade school won’t require it others may be sadly surprised when they find that the school of their choice requires it even though Texas doesn’t. • Kate Kresse says: i have mixed feelings about that too, Kathy. there is such a feeling of mastery/accomplishment when you complete Algebra II. There are som many ways for them to learn it, and it robs them of something valuable to cancel the requirement. That is regardless of who “requires” it at the next level. {sorry it took me so long to reply!] 2. Kathy says: Reblogged this on To Talk of Many Things and commented: 3. And it all begins with learning to count, add, multiply, etc. They want to skip that part, these days, the part that even as a math-unappreciative, I KNEW I would always need. Amazing, eh? • Kate Kresse says: In addition to the drilling of math facts, through repetition and competitively racing to the blackboard, we had so many other ways that we practiced math facts. We skip counted when we did jump rope, we skip counted when we walked, we counted and regrouped when we played jacks, and my folks would play math games. Math enriched us.We cooked and measured things with our moms (sewing, buttons, etc). We measured things and grouped things with our dads.{A number of my students have never even seen a yardstick, or used a measuring cup}. By doing those things, we had an ingrained “number sense” that many of my students lack. A number of my students don’t connect the integers and fractions to any real meaning. The integer and the word for a number doesn’t necessarily represent a group or a quantity to them at all. This is similar to a student I had that had reading difficulties. He could read flawlessly, even if you gave him a 12th grade novel. The mechanics, the sentence pauses, the pronunciation, those were all done flawlessly. But he had NO idea what he had just read. This was true whether he read silently or aloud. If I asked him questions about it, he would have to re-check at least a half dozen times, even if I had him read just one sentence, and asked him a basic question about that sentence. There was no meaning attached to the words. This is something that he sort of “outgrew” a couple of years later. Some of my students have a major disconnect in math, as I described. This makes it nearly impossible for them to memorize their math facts. We are working with counters and charts, so that they can begin to understand and retain the patterns. It mystifies me, it truly does. It frustrates my students! 4. It is no mystery to me, how they got this way, but surely is a mystery why caring adults are sending them this way. I understand, on a governmental level, why we’d want the next generation unable to function, but it seems every teacher out there just doesn’t get it.

In just one day and one night - August 24 to 25 - in 79 A.D. a sequence of deadly pyroclastic currents coming from Mount Vesuvius destroyed and buried the cities of Pompeii and Herculaneum. But this volcano, periodically active and despite his modest size considered one of the most dangerous volcanoes of the world, due its vicinity of the urban conglomerate that is the city of Naples, provided also important insights how a volcano "works". Fig.1. F. A. Perret with an improvised "geophone," listening to subterranean noises at the Campi Flegrei (Italy) probably in 1906-1907 (the photo was published in 1907). As an able inventor, Perret used a microphone to amplify the rumors from inside the earth; a cable can be seen in front of his face connecting the geophone to a loudspeaker, positioned on his ear. Photo from "The Day's Work of a Volcanologist." The World's Work, V. 25, November, 1907 (image in public domain). Frank Alvord Perret (1867-1943) was an American inventor and volcanologist, interested particularly in the volcanoes of the Canary Islands, Japan, Hawaii, Martinique -the infamous Pelée nearly killed him - and Italy. He studied physics at the Brooklyn Polytechnic Institute, but didn't graduate. As a gifted inventor he worked in the laboratories of Thomas Alva Edison, developing new motors, dynamos and batteries. In 1886 he became independent with his own "Elektron Manufacturing Company", which in the followings years experienced a notable success. His health began to fail in 1902 and a warmer climate - like on the Caribbean Islands - promised some relief. On the Island of Martinique he visited the ruins of the city of St Pierre, the desolation and destruction experienced there impressed him profoundly. In 1904, during a visit to Italy, Perret meet Raffaele V. Matteucci, director of the volcanological station of Mount Vesuvius. Matteucci got Perret interested even more in the young and emerging field of volcanology. The deterioration of Perrets health continued and in 1906 he abandoned definitively his business to dedicate himself to a less strenuous and dangerous engagement: studying active volcanoes! He monitored Vesuvius during its most recent phase of activity, lasting from 1906 to 1921, dedicating to the eruption of 1906 "the clearest and most complete report ever of a volcanic eruption and its aftermath" (as wrote Milderd Giblin in 1950). Mildred Giblin, from the Geophysical Laboratory of the Carnegie Institution of Washington, commented Perret's work by stating that the: "scientific contributions of Mr. Perret are unique in that no other volcanologist had the time and opportunity to make so thorough and varied observations on so many types of active volcanoes. He was a daring and sagacious researcher, indefatigable in his quest for information. He was a proficient and discerning photographer, and his publications are freely illustrated with fine pictorial records." Perret and Matteucci used the "Osservatorio Vesuviano", a hut build in 1841 on the north-eastern slope of Vesuvius, as permanent observation point. It was there, lying in his bed, that Perret one day noted a strange buzzing sound. Rising his head the sound disappeared, so Perret put an iron bar of the bed between his teeth - now he could feel a constant tremor coming from the underground. Perret had discovered the "Harmonic Tremors" - vibrations often preceding a volcanic eruption, generated probably by uprising magma inside the volcano. LOCKWOD, J.P. & HAZLETT, R.W.

publisher Rodney Buike and Virtualization When I was in Winnipeg, I had the good fortune to meet Rodney Buike at the Winnipeg IT Pro UserGroup.  I also killed his Dell Laptop harddrive (which he fixed by smacking it on the desk a few times) and shared some pints of the local Fort Gary brew while debating virtualization technologies and various other topics.  Rodney is a Microsoft MVP for Windows Server and the publisher of (Great Site!).  He also provides content for and is working on a book on Virtual Server 2005. He took up my challenge to provide content for the Canadian IT Pro team blog as a guest blogger - so please welcome him and his first post: Virtualization technologies have been around for years.  Vmware was one of the first to begin selling virtualization software in 1999 and in early 2003 Microsoft purchased virtual machine technologies from a company called Connectix. This purchase led to the development of Virtual PC 2004 and Virtual Server 2005.  In the past, when a user needed to use or test an application on a certain operating system (OS), the user would require a computer on which the OS could be installed which would allow them to test the application. Having to test the application on a number of different OS would require the hardware and time to install the desired operating system.  At the same time systems were becoming more and more powerful and utilized less and less. Today’s multi-GHz and multi-core CPUs, large hard disks and abundance of cheap memory provide more power than most users require.  Typically, today’s computers run at about 10-15 percent utilization.  By leveraging virtualization technologies, users can harness the extra power and reduce the amount of physical hardware required and instead, install multiple virtual machines with whichever combination of operating systems and applications they require. The benefits of virtualization are easy to see.  Software developers no longer need multiple physical machines, or ghosted images in order to test their applications in different operating system environments, students don’t need a pile of donated computers in order to build a lab environment and get hands on experience with new technologies and IT departments can benefit by consolidating servers and migrating legacy systems to new hardware. Corporate system administrators can reduce costs by running multiple virtual machines, performing different tasks, on a single physical machine. By doing this, costs are reduced for both the physical hardware requirements as well as the operating system licensing needs. This also allows system administrators to utilize all the power available to them in a physical machine. For example, if an application running on a physical machine only utilizes 15% of machine resources, it would be possible to run 6 virtual machines at 90% utilization. This is a much more economical use of hardware resources. Today more and more IT departments are looking to leverage the befits of virtualization in an effort to consolidate servers.  Improvements in Virtual Server 2005 R2, such as virtual server host clustering, make the idea of virtualizing the corporate infrastructure more acceptable and appealing.  If you are (or are not) using virtualization technologies drop me a line with a comment.  I am very interested in hearing your reasons why (or why not) and your experiences. Comments (2) 1.

Open Access • Rajkumar Tulsawani1, • Lorena S Kelly2, • Nigar Fatma1, • Bhavanaben Chhunchha1, • Eri Kubo3, • Anil Kumar4 and • Dhirendra P Singh1Email author BMC Neuroscience201011:125 Received: 10 April 2010 Accepted: 5 October 2010 Published: 5 October 2010 The ability to respond to changes in the extra-intracellular environment is prerequisite for cell survival. Cellular responses to the environment include elevating defense systems, such as the antioxidant defense system. Hypoxia-evoked reactive oxygen species (ROS)-driven oxidative stress is an underlying mechanism of retinal ganglion cell (RGC) death that leads to blinding disorders. The protein peroxiredoxin 6 (PRDX6) plays a pleiotropic role in negatively regulating death signaling in response to stressors, and thereby stabilizes cellular homeostasis. We have shown that RGCs exposed to hypoxia (1%) or hypoxia mimetic cobalt chloride display reduced expression of PRDX6 with higher ROS expression and activation of NF-κB. These cells undergo apoptosis, while cells with over-expression of PRDX6 demonstrate resistance against hypoxia-driven RGC death. The RGCs exposed to hypoxia either with 1% oxygen or cobalt chloride (0-400 μM), revealed ~30%-70% apoptotic cell death after 48 and 72 h of exposure. Western analysis and real-time PCR showed elevated expression of PRDX6 during hypoxia at 24 h, while PRDX6 protein and mRNA expression declined from 48 h onwards following hypoxia exposure. Concomitant with this, RGCs showed increased ROS expression and activation of NF-κB with IkB phosphorylation/degradation, as examined with H2DCF-DA and transactivation assays. These hypoxia-induced adverse reactions could be reversed by over-expression of PRDX6. Because an abundance of PRDX6 in cells was able to attenuate hypoxia-induced RGC death, the protein could possibly be developed as a novel therapeutic agent acting to postpone RGC injury and delay the progression of glaucoma and other disorders caused by the increased-ROS-generated death signaling related to hypoxia. Uncontrolled rises in intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) are triggered by downregulation of expression and activity of protective molecules in response to changes in the extracellular environment. Such changes often include hypoxia, the scarcity of oxygen can lead to cell injury and death by apoptosis. Recent evidence has shown an increase of intracellular ROS expression in cells during hypoxia, with the source of the increase being the mitochondria [1, 2]. Mammalian cells respond to fluctuations in their micro environmental oxygen by regulating defense genes such as stress response genes, heat shock factor, NF-κB, and HIFα-1. These factors play a decisive role in the fate of cells by activating protective molecules such as PRDX6. However, a scarcity of oxygen to cells also results in functional or adaptive responses [36]. Conversely, prolonged hypoxia can induce genes involved in cell death [7, 8]. The increased levels of ROS during hypoxia and ROS-driven-oxidative stress induce deleterious effects by activating/deactivating genes and deregulating normal survival signaling [9, 10]. This process results in pathophysiology of cells and tissues, such as stroke, cardiovascular disease, tumorigenesis, and development of various blinding eye conditions [11, 12]. The death of retinal ganglion cells (RGCs) is a major blinding event, and RGC death has been reported to occur during retinal hypoxia/ischemia [13, 14]. Retinal cells that are highly active require a regular supply of oxygen [11, 15]. Any interruption in oxygen supply due to an abnormality in circulation such as retinal artery occlusion or retinal vein thrombosis or atherosclerosis results in retinal hypoxia/ischemia. An extended period of hypoxia leads to the development of complications such as glaucoma, optic neuropathies, diabetic retinopathies, and retinal vein occlusions [1619]. It has been found that the inner retina is more susceptible to hypoxia, in contrast to outer one [20]. To cope with oxidation-induced adverse effect one natural protective characteristic of eye is that intra-ocular O2 tensions are low however, many other cellular defense systems are evolved such as glycolysis, angiogenesis, vasodilation, and erythropoiesis in response to hypoxia [21], but these protective phenomenon are momentary [22], following which cell death and tissue damage occur [11]. Hypoxia-induced generation of ROS results in imbalance of the cellular oxidant-antioxidant status that leads to failure of cellular homeostasis. ROS-driven oxidative stress is a known cause of lipid peroxidation, protein oxidation, and DNA oxidation, which contribute to neurodegeneration [21, 23, 24]. Oxidative stress also has been reported to be cytotoxic to RGCs [10, 25], causing necrotic or apoptotic death [10, 22, 26, 27]. In addition, the generation of ROS is associated with activation or deactivation of several survival factors [28]. NF-κB is a transcription factor which is activated by various stimuli including oxidative stress. NF-κB plays multiple roles in cell survival, proliferation, and differentiation and also in cell death as a pro- or anti-apoptotic transcription factor, depending on cell type or the nature of injury [29, 30]. A wealth of information documents that RelA containing NF-κB complex has an antiapoptotic effect [31]. In glaucoma, NF-κB is highly activated in RGCs and has been suggested to be proapoptotic and implicated in retinal neuronal cell death [32, 33]. Initiation of apoptotic response to a variety of stress signals via NF-κB requires its translocation into nucleus from the cytoplasm. Under normal circumstances, in cell cytoplasm an association between IkB, an inhibitor protein, and NF-κB dimers renders NF-κB inactive. IkB is a member of a family of regulator proteins, viz. IkB-α, IkB-β, and Bcl3. However, in response to stress signals, IkB undergoes phosphorylation, which releases its inhibition of NF-κB. NF-κB translocates to the nucleus and binds to DNA [10, 34]. Moreover, the over-expression of intracellular ROS caused by extracellular stressors is controlled by antioxidant defenses such as catalase, SOD, glutathione peroxidase, and, most importantly, the newly discovered peroxiredoxins [3539]. The peroxiredoxin (Prdx) family includes six known members (Prdx 1-6). Of particular interest is PRDX6 cloned by our group from human lens epithelial cells cDNA library [40]. This agent has GSH peroxidase as well as acidic Ca2+-independent phospholipase A2 activities [37, 3944]. Recently, our group has shown that PRDX6 has protective potential in saving RGCs against glutamate and TNF-α induced cytotoxicity. It acts by limiting ROS and maintaining calcium homeostasis [10, 37, 42, 43, 4548]. The unique ability to regulate signaling and to maintain phospholipid turnover distinguishes PRDX6 from the other five peroxiredoxins (Prdx1 to 5). This molecule is widely expressed, occurring in high levels in the liver, lung, eye lens, and keratinocytes [37, 40, 4850] including RGCs [9], and its reduced expression can lead to cell death and tissue degeneration [47, 48, 51]. Recently, PRDX6 has been implicated in maintaining blood vessel integrity in wounded skin [52, 53] and in development and progression of several diseases, including oxidative-induced cataractogenesis [43, 54], psoriasis [55, 56], atherosclerosis [51], and parkinsonian dementia [57]. Thus, accumulating evidence indicates that underexpression of PRDX6 contributes to pathophysiology of cells and tissues, and this involves an increase in ROS levels. The increase leads to declines in a number of physiological functions because of overmodulation of ROS-mediated gene expression and activation of factors, including NF-κB. Stimulation of such factors in RGC has been implicated as a cause of the initiation of death signaling [58, 59]. However, given the role of PRDX6 in maintaining cellular homeostasis by blocking death signaling and thereby regulating ROS expression [9, 10, 37], we think that a supply of PRDX6 will attenuate the hypoxia-evoked ROS-induced deleterious signaling in RGCs. In the study described here, we used RGCs exposed to 1% O2 and/or CoCl2, a hypoxia mimetic, as a model system to explore the underlying event(s) of hypoxia-induced RGC death. We have shown that RGCs facing hypoxia for longer periods display elevated expression of ROS and reduced levels of PRDX6, and that RGCs over-expressing PRDX6 gain resistance against hypoxia-evoked generation of ROS and ROS-induced cellular insults, by negatively regulating death signaling. In this study, we investigated whether chronic hypoxia evoked the production of ROS in RGCs, and whether over-expression of ROS initiated NF-κB-mediated death signaling by phosphorylation/degradation of IkB, resulting in RGC death. In addition, by using transfection and transactivation assays, we showed that ROS-mediated suppression of Prdx6 mRNA and protein expression in RGCs bearing higher levels of ROS could be attenuated by the over-expression of PRDX6. Collectively, these findings provide a foundation for rational use of antioxidant-based therapeutics for treating or preventing/delaying RGC death from ROS driven oxidative stress under hypoxic conditions. Culture of the retinal ganglion cell RGC-5 (a kind gift from Neeraj Agarwal, University of North Texas Health Science, Fort Worth, TX, USA) were maintained in Dulbecco's modified Eagle's medium (DMEM) containing 10% fetal bovine serum (FBS), 100 U/ml penicillin and 100 μl/ml streptomycin at 37°C with 5% CO2. The cells reaching confluency were trypsinized and subcultured using 1:20 split. RGCs of 5 to 7 passages were used to carry out the experiments. Generation of Hypoxic conditions Cells were either exposed to 1% oxygen using hypoxic chamber or they were treated with cobalt chloride, a hypoxia mimic [60, 61] at various concentrations and for various time intervals. Cell survival assays: MTS and TUNEL assays Cells (1 × 104) were grown in 48 well plates and treated with 50, 100, 150, 200 or 400 μM of CoCl2 for 24, 48 or 72 h. After treatment period, a colorimetric MTS assay (Promega) was performed as described earlier [37]. This assay of cellular proliferation uses 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-5-(3-carboxymethoxyphenyl)-2 to 4-sulfophenyl)-2H-tetrazo-lium salt (MTS; Promega, Madison, MI). Upon being added to medium containing viable cells, MTS is reduced to a water-soluble formazan salt. The A490 nm value was measured after cobalt chloride treatment at specified duration with an ELISA reader. The values are represented as a percent change to matched controls within cell types. A TUNEL assay was employed to assess and validate apoptotic cell death. TUNEL staining was performed using an in situ cell death detection kit, Fluorescein (Roche Diagnostics GmbH, Germany), following the company's protocol. Briefly, cells were grown in 4 chambered slide, washed with PBS and fixed in freshly prepared 4% paraformaldehyde in PBS (pH 7.4), followed by incubation in permeabilization solution (0.1% Triton X-100, 0.1% sodium citrate) for 2 min on ice. Cells were rinsed twice with PBS, and incubated in a TUNEL reaction mixture for 60 min at 37°C in the dark. Cells were rinsed three times with PBS. After mounting, samples were microphotographed using a micro-scope (Nikon, ECLIPSE TE 300), and analyzed. To determine the total dead cells, other than only the apoptotic cells, RGCs were stained with trypan blue solution (0.4%), where non viable cells are stained with trypan blue which is normally excluded by the live cells. Construction of Prdx6 Promoter-Chloramphenicol Acetyl-transferase (CAT) Reporter Vector The 5'-flanking region from - 1139 to +109 bp was isolated from mouse genomic DNA and sequenced [10]. A construct of -1139 bp was prepared by ligating it to basic pCAT vector (Promega) using the SacI and XhoI sites. Similarly, construct of deletion mutants of different sizes (- 839 to + 109 bp, construct B; -430 to + 109 bp, construct C) of the Prdx6 promoter with appropriate sense primers bearing SacI and reverse primer with XhoI were made [10]. The plasmid was amplified and used for the CAT assay. Primers were as follows: Construct Afor, 5'-CTGAGAGCTC CTGCCATGTTC-3'; Construct Bfor, 5' CTTCCTCTGGAGCTC AGAATTTAC-3'; Construct Cfor, 5'-CACAG-AGCTC GTTCTTGCCACATC-3'; Constructs A, B, and Crev, 5'-CAGGAACTCGAGG AAGCGGAT-3'. We used construct B in the present study. Assay for intracellular redox state Intracellular redox state levels were measured using the fluorescent dye, H2-DCFH-DA as described earlier [37, 43]. Briefly, cells were washed once with HBSS and incubated in the same buffer containing 5-10 μg of DCFH-DA for 30 min at 37°C. Intracellular fluorescence was detected with Ex485/Em530 using Spectra Max Gemini EM (Molecular Devices, CA). Western analysis Nuclear, cytoplasmic extracts and total Cell lysates were prepared as described previously [10]. Equal amounts of protein samples were loaded onto a 10% SDS gel, blotted onto PVDF membrane, and immune-stained with primary antibodies; PRDX6 monoclonal antibody (1:1000) (Lab Frontier, S. Korea), NF- κB (p65) (Santa Cruz Biotech) and β-actin antibody (Sigma) (1:2000). The membranes were further incubated with horseradish peroxidase-conjugated secondary antibodies (1:1500 dilution) following washing. Specific protein bands were visualized by incubating the membrane with luminol reagent (Santa Cruz Biotechnology) and exposing to film (X-OMAT; Eastman Kodak). Real-time PCR To monitor the levels of Prdx6, NF- κB (p65), and β-actin mRNA in RGCs, total RNA was isolated using the single-step guanidine thiocyanate/phenol/chloroform extraction method (Trizol Reagent; Invitrogen) and converted to cDNA using Superscript II RNAase H-Reverse Transcriptase. Quantitative real-time PCR was performed with SYBR Green Master Mix (Roche Diagnostic Corporation, Indianapolis, IN) in a Roche® LC480 Sequence detector system (Roche Diagnostic Corporation). We used primers specific for Prdx6 (forward 5'-TTGATGATAAGGGCAGGGAC-3' and reverse, 5'-CTACCATCACGCTCTCTCCC-3'), NF-κB (forward 5'-TTTCCCCTCATCTTTCCCTC-3' and reverse 5'-TGTGCTTCTCTCCCCAGG-3') and β-actin (forward 5'-CGTGGGCCGCCCTAGGCACCA-3' and reverse 5'-TTGGCCTTAGGGTTCAGGGGGG-3'). The primers were synthesized at University of Nebraska Medical Center, DNA Facility, Omaha, NE, USA. The comparative Ct method was used to calculate relative fold expression levels using the e-Roche software. The Cts of target genes were normalized to the levels of β-actin as an endogenous control in each group. Expression and purification of GFP-PRDX6 fusion protein A full length cDNA of Prdx6 was isolated from human lens epithelial cell cDNA library using sense (5'-ATGCCCGGAGGTCTGCTTCTCGGGG-3') and antisense (3'-AATTGGCAG CTGACATCCTCTGGCTC-3') primers, and the resultant amplified product was cloned in pcDNA3.1/NT-GFP-TOPO vector procured from Invitrogen [40]. This construct was used for over-expressing PRDX6 in RGCs. Cells transfected with empty GFP vector served as control. Statistical method Data are presented as Mean ± S.D. of the indicated number of experiments. Data were analyzed by Student's t-test when appropriate. A p value of < 0.05 was defined as indicating a statistically significant difference. Hypoxia induced RGC death with apoptosis, and these cells harbored elevated ROS, reduced PRDX6, and increased NF-κB expression Recently reports have documented that hypoxia-induced elevation in intracellular ROS is a cause of pathophysiology in cells and tissues [62]. However, hypoxia exerts both proapoptotic and antiapoptotic biphasic effects that seem to be associated with cell types and conditions surrounding the cells. In the present study, we initially used the hypoxia-mimetic agent cobalt chloride (CoCl2) to expose RGCs to hypoxic stress. We examined whether RGCs exposed to such stress showed reduced survival and died with apoptosis and displayed higher ROS levels. Results from cells exposed to cobalt chloride were compared with those from RGCs exposed to 1% O2. Cells exposed to cobalt chloride showed decrease in cell survival, with levels depending on concentration and exposure time (Figure 1A; black bars). Exposure of RGCs to 1% oxygen for 24 h or 48 h resulted in cell death in a time-dependent manner (Figure 1B; black bars). With both types of exposure, the cellular effects produced by hypoxia were associated with concentration as well as the duration of exposure. These cells were photomicrographed and recorded (Figures 2A-C. arrow; dead cells). The mode of RGC death was apoptosis following treatment with CoCl2 (Figure 2B) or 1% O2 exposure (Figure 2C) after 48 h when compared to unexposed cells (Figure 2A), as shown by TUNEL assay (Figure 2insets). Figure 1 MTS assay showing effect of hypoxia on the viability of RGCs. Cells (1 × 104) were cultured in 48-well plate containing DMEM supplemented with 10% FBS. 24 h later, cells were washed and treated with variable concentrations of cobalt chloride (A; black bars 50, 100, 200 or 400 μM) or exposed to 1% O2 (B; black bar) for a period of 24, 48 or 72 h. Results are means ± SE of three individual experiments. *p < 0.05. Figure 2 Photomicrograph of RGCs without (A) or with CoCl 2 (B) or exposed to 1% O 2 (C). Arrow heads denote dead cells. TUNEL staining was performed as described in 'Methods' section to determine apoptotic RGC death following treatment. Insets: Photomicrograph of TUNEL-positive cells (green fluorescent) treated without (A) or with (B) or exposed to 1% O2 (C). Next, to determine whether RGCs exposed to either CoCl2 or 1% O2 bore higher levels of ROS, we monitored the levels with the fluorescent dye, H2-DCFH-DA. Consistent with earlier reports, an increase in ROS levels was observed in cells exposed to hypoxic stress, and the levels of ROS were increased with increased time of exposure (Figures 3A and 3B; black bars). Figure 3 Histogram showing intracellular ROS expression in RGCs following CoCl 2 treatment or 1% O 2 exposure. Cells were treated with different concentrations of cobalt chloride (50, 100, 200 or 400 μM) (A) or exposed to1% oxygen (B) for a period of 24, 48 or 72 h. ROS were measured with H2-DCFH-DA dye. Results are means ± SE of 3 experiments. *p < 0.05 Because reduced expression of intracellular PRDX6 is causally related to increase expression of ROS, and NF-κB is a regulator of PRDX6 in cells in the redox state [9, 10, 43, 45], we next examined whether levels of these two molecules were altered in cells under conditions of hypoxia. We conducted Western analysis with PRDX6-specific antibody, and the same blotted membrane was reprobed with NF-κB antibody following restriping. As expected, reduced expression of PRDX6 (Figure 4, PRDX6, 48 h or 72 h, lanes 2-4; Figure 5, PRDX6, 48 h, lane 2) and elevated expression of NF-κB (Figure 4, NF-κB, 24, 48 or 72 h, lanes 2-4; Figure 5, NF-κB, 24 or 48 h, lanes 2 and 4) were observed in cells exposed to hypoxia (48 h onwards) (Because the higher dose of cobalt chloride [400 μM] caused ~ 70% of the RGC death, that dose was excluded). Levels of PRDX6 were found to be increased when analyzed after 24 h of hypoxia exposure generated by cobalt chloride (50, 100 or 200 μM) or 1% oxygen (Figure 4, PRDX6, 24 h, lanes 2-4; Figure 5, PRDX6, 24 h, lane 2). The data illustrate the role of PRDX6 in RGC survival under hypoxia exposure. Figure 4 Figure 5 Effect of Hypoxic stress on regulation of PRDX6 and NF-κB proteins in RGCs exposed to 1% O 2 . Cells (4 × 105) were cultured in 100 mm culture plates, and after 24 h these cells were exposed to 1% O2 for a period of 24 and 48 h. After treatment, cell extracts were prepared for Western analysis. A significant increase in PRDX6 protein expression was observed after 24 h and reduced after 48 h of 1% O2 exposure (lane 2). In contrast, an increase in NF-κB protein level was observed (middle panel) while no change was detected in the expression of β-actin level (lower panel), suggesting hypoxia specifically reduced the expression of PRDX6. Histogram shows relative density (Pixels) of protein bands. *p < 0.05. Modulation of PRDX6 and NF-κB in RGCs during hypoxia was due to repression of their transcription Although it was confirmed at the protein level that the expression of PRDX6 and NF-κB was modulated under hypoxia, it was not clear whether the changes in expression were due to modulation in the translation or in the transcription of these molecules. To clarify the regulation of PRDX6 and/or NF-κB by hypoxic stress at the transcriptional level, the cells were exposed to cobalt chloride (50, 100 or 200 μM) or to 1% O2 as described above for 24 h, and the mRNA from these cells was used to conduct real time PCR. Results demonstrated that RGCs exposed to hypoxia had an abundance of Prdx6 mRNA, but levels of NF-κB mRNA were not found to be dramatically high when compared to the controls (Figure 6A; black bars). To validate further activation of PRDX6 during hypoxia, we performed transactivation assays as described in Methods. RGCs were transfected with Prdx6 promoter linked to CAT construct B [10], and were exposed to hypoxia either by treating the cells with cobalt chloride (50, 100 or 200 μM) or by exposing to 1% oxygen. After exposure to various concentrations of cobalt chloride (Figure 6B; black bars) or 1% oxygen (Figure 6C; black bar) a pronounced activation in Prdx6 promoter activity could be observed, suggesting that Prdx6 is transcriptionally regulated in RGCs under hypoxia. This finding indicates that Prdx6 is upregulated to counteract hypoxia-induced cellular damage mediated via NF-κB, which plays an apoptotic role in RGC death. Figure 6 Quantitative PCR showing differential expression of Prdx6 and NF-κB mRNA in RGCs with or without treatment with CoCl 2 or exposed to 1% O 2 . Total RNA was isolated and transcribed into cDNA. PCR was performed using specific primers as described in 'Methods' section. mRNA expression of each Prdx6 and NF-κB was adjusted to the mRNA copies of β-actin. Results indicate that mRNA expression level of Prdx6 was significantly increased after 24 h of exposure to different concentrations of CoCl2 (A; 50, 100 or 200 μM) with an increase of NF-κB mRNA. (B) CAT assay showing promoter activity of Prdx6 following hypoxia. Cells were transiently transfected with Prdx6-CAT (B & C). After 24 h of transfection, cells were either treated with cobalt chloride (50, 100 or 200 μM) (B) or exposed to 1% O2 (C; black bar). Transactivation assay was performed after 72 h of transfection. Results indicate that Prdx6 transcription (B and C) was up-regulated following cobalt chloride or 1% O2 exposure, respectively. *p < 0.05. Hypoxia induced activation of NF-κB and its translocation into nucleus was associated with IkB phosphorylation/degradation To examine the dynamics of NF-κB and IkB interactions under hypoxia, cells were exposed to 200 μM of cobalt chloride and subcellular fractions were assayed by Western blot NF-κB (p65) nuclear translocation (Figure 7A) and IkB phosphorylation/degradation (Figure 7C). Under normal circumstances, cytoplasmic NF-κB is inactive through interactions with an inhibitor protein IkB. The phosphorylation of IkB unmasks the nuclear translocation signal on the NF-κB. In the present study, cells treated with cobalt chloride showed decreased expression of IkB (Figure 7C; IkB; lane 2), with an increase in phospho-IkB levels (Figure 7D; pIkB, lane 2). The results revealed that kinetics of the increase in p65 in nucleus mirrors the kinetics for phosphorylation and degradation of IkB in cytoplasmic fraction. Further activation of NF-κB was confirmed by transactivation assay; RGCs transfected with pLTR-CAT construct, which consists of two NF-κB sites [43], were subjected to hypoxic stress (1% O2) for 24 h. CAT activity assessed with CAT-ELISA as described in Methods revealed activation of NF-κB (Figure 9C, dark gray bar). Collectively, the findings demonstrate activation of NF-κB by hypoxia. Figure 7 Western analysis showing NF-κB translocation in nucleus from cytoplasm and phosphorylation of IkBα in RGCs facing hypoxic stress. Cell (4 × 105) were cultured in 10 mm culture plates and were treated with 200 μM of CoCl2 for 2 h. After treatment, cytoplasmic and nuclear extracts were prepared for western analysis. Cells treated with CoCl2 showed increased expression of NF-κB in nucleus (A, NF-κB, lane 2) with concomitant decrease in cytoplasmic expression (B, NF-κB, lane 2). These cells showed reduced expression of IkB (C; lane 2) and enhanced expression of its phosphorylated form pIkB in cytoplasm (D; lane 2). PRDX6 over-expression attenuated hypoxia-induced RGC death, by reducing ROS production and optimizing NF-κB activation PRDX6 exerts its protective function by regulating ROS expression and blocking cell death signaling. To determine the efficacy of PRDX6 in abolishing hypoxia-evoked ROS-driven damage to and death of RGCs, we transfected RGCs with pGFP-PRDX6 (2, 4 and 6 μg) as described in Experimental Procedures, and transfection efficiency was equalized with OD obtained from GFP fluorescence at Ex485/Em530. We also confirmed over-expression of pGFP-PRDX6 using Western analysis (Figure 8A) As expected, RGCs over-expressing PRDX6 showed reduced levels of ROS when they were exposed to either cobalt chloride (Figure 8B; 50, 100 or 200 μM; black bars) or 1% oxygen (Figure 8C; black bars). Cell death was reduced by ~20% to 30% as observed in these cells treated with various concentrations of the agents compared to controls transfected with empty GFP vector (Figure 9A; black bars). Similar results were obtained when PRDX6 over-expressed cells were exposed to 1% oxygen (Figure 9B; black bars). To test whether PRDX6 administration attenuated NF-κB activation in RGCs following hypoxia treatment, we did transactivation assay in RGCs using pLTR-CAT construct (Figure 9C). Results showed an increase in the promoter activity following hypoxia (1% oxygen) and the increase could be inhibited by a supply of PRDX6 (Figure 9C; black bar). Western analysis further confirmed that extrinsic supply of PRDX6 reduced expression of NF-κB in RGCs exposed to hypoxia (Figure 9D; NF-κB; lane 3). Taken together, the results demonstrated that PRDX6 protects against hypoxia-evoked oxidative stress mediated cell death by restoring survival signaling, at least in RGCs, and it does so by optimizing ROS expression and NF-κB activation and expression.

Cellular extract was prepared and resolved on SDS-PAGE, and Western analysis was performed using antibody specific to PRDX6, to assess both exogenous and endogenous expression of PRDX6. ~55 kDa protein band was detected as recombinant GFP-PRDX6 protein (A, right lane).

Figure 9 PRDX6 regulation of NF-kB expression and cellular survival during hypoxia (A). MTS assay showing protective effect of over-expression of PRDX6 on RGCs survival. Cells were transiently transfected with either GFP vector or GFP-PRDX6. After 24 h cells were either treated with CoCl2 (50, 100 or 200 μM) or exposed to 1% O2. Results indicate that GFP-PRDX6 over-expression significantly reduced death of RGCs exposed to CoCl2 (A; 50, 100 or 200 μM) or 1% O2 (B). To monitor the activation of NF-κB, cells were transfected with GFP vector or GFP-PRDX6. These cells were co-transfected with HIV-1LTR-CAT construct (C) having NF-κB sites [37] and were exposed to 1% O2. Results showed the repression of NF-κB-dependent transcriptional activation of HIV-1LTR in cells over-expressing PRDX6 (C; black bar). In parallel experiments, cell extracts was prepared and Western analysis performed to confirm whether GFP-PRDX6 over-expression reduced the expression of NF-κB (D).

Changes in oxidant and antioxidant balance may alter cellular homeostasis; cells may go through survival or death pathways, depending upon expression of ROS and antioxidant defense capacity. Eye tissues are constantly exposed to external and internal environmental stresses such as sunlight, chemical irritations, and hypoxia. These stressors may lead to blinding disorders of the eye by inducing abnormalities in the homeostatic system of cells. Interruption of normal blood flow to an organ causes ischemia-hypoxia, which can result in tissue injury in many organs, including the heart, liver, lungs, and retina, all physiologically active tissues. Stresses or deficiency of O2 (hypoxia) in retinal tissues may cause severe damage, subsequently leading to blinding disease. The manner in which chronic hypoxia causes cell or tissue damage or cell death has been described in several recent reports documenting that the hypoxia evokes overproduction of ROS, which are a major culprit in cell damage [11]. Moreover, as a physiologically active tissue, the retina requires large quantities of oxygen [11], and fluctuations in oxygen level may alter the entire retinal physiology and lead to failure of homeostasis [11]. Systemic hypoxemia caused by lung or heart disease or a vascular disease in the retina can also cause retinal hypoxia and be a major cause of RGC loss. Recent evidence reveals that chronic hypoxia attenuates the cellular prooxidant-antioxidant balance by accumulation of ROS [63], and this condition has been implicated in progressive neurodegenerative diseases. We believe that chronic hypoxia may be associated with reduced expression and activity of survival molecules and antioxidants such as PRDX6 [9, 10, 37, 42, 43, 64]. In the present study, we found that RGCs exposed to hypoxia displayed elevated expression of ROS, which was associated with reduced expression of PRDX6 (Figures 3, 4 and 5), and these cells underwent apoptosis (Figure 2). These results are consistent with earlier findings that human pulmonary and coronary artery smooth muscle cells bear higher levels of ROS, and the elevated levels of ROS are a major damaging factor [65]. Moreover, ROS is source of oxidative stress, has gained more and more attention recently because of its role as a cellular signaling for a various molecules released from activated glia or microglia such as glutamate [9], cytokines such as TNF-α and growth factors [9, 10]. The production of ROS by these molecules has been associated with activation or deactivation of several transcription factors [810, 12, 43]. We think that elevated levels of inflammatory cytokines in the microenvironment of RGCs are responsible for further elevation of ROS in RGCs that leads RGCs death. Recently, we reported that PRDX6 delivery to RGCs can protect against glutamate or TNF-α mediated cytotoxicity, and that the PRDX6 acts by removing ROS and stabilizing NF-κB activation. Notably, both PRDX6 and NF-κB are producers of ROS. While there is much discussion in the research community about increase or decrease of ROS expression during hypoxia, the present study provides evidence that longer periods of hypoxia generate ROS, and ROS-induced abnormal signaling is a major cause of RGC damage or death (Figures 1, 2 and 3). Our data further support our hypothesis that hypoxia induces ROS; RGCs that over-expressed PRDX6 showed resistance against hypoxic stress, reduced ROS expression, and improved survival. Along with others, we have shown that PRDX6 blocks ROS-mediated pathophysiology that occurs during cataractogenesis, neurological disorders, and diabetic-associated disorders [9, 42, 43], and plays a pivotal role in maintaining lung cell homeostasis [44, 48, 6668]. Moreover, our current study revealed that (i) hypoxia evokes intracellular ROS accumulation, which increases with an increase in time, (ii) ROS elevation is causally related to RGC death, and (iii) PRDX6 can attenuate hypoxia-generated oxidative stress-induced RGC death. Recently, several reports have shown that hypoxic stress induces ROS production, which, if not quenched, leads to cellular pathophysiology [63, 65, 69, 70]. Using a cell culture system, we found that RGCs exposed to either 1% oxygen (physiological hypoxia) or treated with cobalt chloride, a hypoxia mimetic (chemical hypoxia), display elevated expression of ROS (Figure 2) We observed ~30%-60% RGC death in cells with physiological hypoxia (1% oxygen) and ~30%-70% death with cobalt chloride treatment (Figure 1). These data are consistent with previous studies which observed ~25% RGC death after 12 h of exposure to 5% oxygen [71], ~30% cell death after 24 h of 200 μM CoCl2 treatment and found that RGC death following hypoxia was predominantly apoptotic, although both apoptotic and necrotic cell death have been observed [71, 72]. Furthermore, in glaucomatous eyes, selective loss of RGCs occurs [73], and these cells are particularly sensitive to systemic hypoxic stress [74] as a result of long-term oxidative damage induced by ROS [75]. Interestingly, our present study found increased expression of PRDX6 for the first 24 h of hypoxia exposure (Figures 4 and 5), but when hypoxia exposure was prolonged, the expression of PRDX6 was reduced, and the reduction was related to cell death. Thus our results demonstrate a novel mechanism of hypoxia regulation of PRDX6, in which concentration and time of exposure of RGCs to hypoxia play pivotal roles in determining the fate of the RGCs, which is dependent upon PRDX6 expression. Our study further demonstrated that elevated levels of ROS in RGCs caused by hypoxia are a major cause of cell death, and that the increase in ROS can be eliminated by over-expression of PRDX6 (Figures 8 and 9). As other Prdxs did not counteract the changes in RGCs, we consider the role of PRDX6 to be pivotal, at least in those cells. Interestingly, we also found that acute hypoxia is beneficial to RGCs, as the acute condition may attenuate the extent of cellular ROS and provide an adaptive control mechanism. If that is the case, RGC death during eye disorders including glaucoma is probably caused by the cumulative effect of hypoxia over time, which produces ROS-driven oxidative damage. Moreover, elevated ROS expression has been observed in rabbit retinal cells during ischemia induced by high IOP [76]. We have reported that lens epithelial cells (LECs) deficient in PRDX6 bear higher levels of ROS, are vulnerable to oxidative stress, and undergo spontaneous apoptosis [37]. Collectively, our results suggest that the reduced expression of PRDX6 in RGCs exposed to hypoxia may be one cause of RGC death. Moreover, ROS-driven oxidative stress has been related to a number of diseases and disorders. In fact, it is possible that most pathology involves oxidative stress, at least to some extent, and this may occur due to suppression of antioxidants such as PRDX6. Our present work has demonstrated that hypoxia suppresses PRDX6 expression, leading in turn to RGC death. The identification of genes or their products involved in etiology of oxidant-mediated pathology has already led to important insights into the cellular response to stress and mechanisms of oxidant damage. In previous reports, we described the regulation of PRDX6 gene expression by NF-κB [9, 10], and the dependence of PRDX6 expression level upon cellular redox state. However, when expression levels of ROS exceed the control of cellular antioxidants, cells die by apoptosis or necrosis. We believe that optimizing the level of ROS by the delivery of PRDX6 should prevent or delay ROS-induced deleterious signaling. Furthermore, the generation of ROS has been associated with the activation and deactivation of the transcriptional protein NF-κB [77, 78]. Modulation in the activity of NF-κB in neuronal cells is strongly associated with cellular fate, and NF-κB can have either an antiapoptotic or proapoptotic function [79, 80], depending on cell type or cellular microenvironment [29, 30, 81, 82]. Importantly, in RGCs, activation of NF-κB has been found to induce apoptotic signaling, and suppression of its activation significantly enhances the viability of RGCs [30]. Our results also vividly demonstrate that addition of PRDX6 in RGCs attenuates NF-κB activation induced by hypoxia, suggesting that PRDX6 can block the NF-κB-induced death pathway in RGCs. We believe the survival of RGCs is associated with of NF-κB activation in acute hypoxia, since upregulation of PRDX6 would be able to remove ROS, while hyperactivation or inadequate activation of NF-κB in RGCs may be disastrous. Thus, modulation of NF-κB activation should be an important strategy for reducing cellular injury. Overall, it appears that RGC death induced by hypoxia should also be associated with hyper-activation of NF-κB due to higher levels of ROS during glaucoma or other neurological diseases. The activation of NF-κB is seen in various cell types in response to hypoxia. Hypoxia induced activation of NF-κB occurs through IkB activation and its phosphorylation [83, 84]. In this study, we found that hypoxia exposure activates NF-κB with its subsequent translocation into nucleus. We also found increased phosphorylation of IkB in RGCs following hypoxia. These findings suggest that NF-κB activation in RGCs under hypoxic conditions involves the activation of the canonical pathway through degradation/phosphorylation of the IkBα. Our data demonstrate that cells over-expressed with PRDX6 protect the RGCs from hypoxia-induced oxidative stress by removing ROS and thereby normalizing NF-κB activation. We have found that hypoxia induces ROS-driven RGC death caused by down regulation of PRDX6 in cells under prolonged hypoxia, and ROS expression is causally associated with PRDX6 expression level. Results further revealed that ROS are differentially regulated during hypoxia; however, increased expression of ROS, due to deficiency of PRDX6, indeed reflects pathophysiology of RGCs. Because delivery of PRDX6 may attenuate RGC death by optimizing intracellular ROS and NF-κB activation, PRDX6 should be considered as therapeutic agent for hypoxia-induced disorders. Further detailed research will be needed to elucidate the mechanisms involved in the PRDX6-mediated protection of RGCs.

Life beyond the automobile in Southern California Archive for the month “July, 2013” Cars and the Environment Pt. 2 In my review of Tom McCarthy’s Auto Mania (Cars and the Environment pt. 1), we explored the unprecedented environmental harm resulting from the mass production and use of motor vehicles.  Whereas McCarthy argues that consumer decision-making drove the automobile to its apex in modern American life, our next author, Christopher Wells, places those consumer decisions in the context of local and national government policies that created a physical environment that virtually required car ownership for full membership in society. Wells’s book, Car Country: An Environmental History (University of Washington Press, 2012) provides a context for those consumer decisions.  If, after all, one is dependent on the automobile because of an infrastructure designed primarily for automobility, how free are those consumer decisions?  And how did this infrastructure come to be so dominant?  Wells sets his interpretation apart from what he calls the “love affair thesis” (i.e., that America’s love affair with cars is the primary explanation for our car-dominant society) and what he calls the “conspiracy thesis” (i.e., that automobile dominance occurred as a result of a cabal of automobile manufacturers and oil companies removing streetcars and weakening public transportation). Wells argues that we must look at the broader patterns of land use and development that shape people’s transportation needs and choices.  Put bluntly, when developers and government agencies design a landscape to be accessed primarily by automobiles, they create a “car country” that virtually requires automobile ownership.  If, on the other hand, a society designs mixed-use landscapes that are conveniently accessible by walking, bicycling, and transit, people will find it easier to get along without a car.  He contrasts his own experience growing up in car-centric suburban Atlanta, where he was dependent on a car, and where he cherished his beloved Toyota pickup with his later experience living in Switzerland, where he found it easy (and inexpensive) to get around without a car and where, he notes, “I never really missed having a car.”  When he returned to the US, he tried cycling for transportation but it “felt dangerous” once he got beyond the confines of his own neighborhood where “a crush of traffic had enveloped the city in the 1980s.”  He concluded from his own experience that “How I felt about cars had little bearing on whether or not I needed one.”  Thus, he seeks to understand how people’s need for a car influenced how they felt about cars, and he provides a social and environmental context for Americans’ widespread use of the car by the end of the 20th century.  Wells makes a persuasive case that land-use patterns, not attitudes (i.e., the “love affair”) are the strongest determinant of a transportation system’s success, whether it is transit-based or car-based. (pp. xx-xxv)  Critics of the car have tended, he says, to focus on cars rather than roads and on the behavior of drivers rather than the powerful forces shaping American land-use patterns.  (xxxiv) Wells is at his best getting us to “think about landscapes,” and the impact they have on people’s decisions about driving.  He contrasts older “streetcar neighborhoods” of the pre-automobile era that were organized around streetcar routes with walkable distances between housing, shopping, and other neighborhood destinations, and the post-WWII “exit ramp neighborhoods” zoned as single-use, geographically separated areas designed to be conveniently accessed only by automobile.  The process did not happen by itself, but was facilitated and accelerated by government policies that drove highway design and funding while neglecting public transit and FHA loan guidelines that favored suburban housing and retail developments zoned for single-use.  Meanwhile older, mixed-use streetcar neighborhoods were frequently neglected or destroyed by freeway construction and “urban renewal.”  Wells shows that the postwar drive to the suburbs was indeed a “choice,” but it was a choice that was virtually the only rational one for many people, given the fact that its immense costs were effectively socialized by federal, state, and local policies.   Once the process began, it locked in the auto-centered lifestyle, leaving people few convenient alternatives to the car. streetcar vs. car design Wells reiterates the tremendously destructive environmental impact of the automobile highlighted by Tom McCarthy, underscoring the imperative to change the policies that lead to car-dependence for millions.  He also highlights the immense challenge this will pose, for the costs of car-dependence are often invisible on an individual level: Both smog and climate change illustrate a persistent theme in environmental politics: problems that seem negligible or unimportant on an individual scale can, once aggregated, have national or even global environmental implications.  Because the problems do not become clear until after large numbers of people are involved, the damaging behaviors have often accrued both widespread social acceptance and economic importance.  Moreover, the causal linkage between seemingly harmless behaviors … and environmental problems … frequently requires elaborate scientific explanation.  This creates opportunities for entrenched interests to challenge the science … which often take time and study to disprove.  As a result, “attack, delay, and ask for more research” has proven a fruitful strategy for those hoping to avoid new environmental regulations.  Moreover, because such problems frequently necessitate sweeping changes in established behaviors, effective regulations are frequently intrusive and perceived as onerous. (p. 351) Applied to the effort to move people away from auto-dependence, this theme suggests a daunting challenge lies ahead for those of us who seek to build a new infrastructure around alternatives to the automobile.  Nevertheless, Wells’s study proves that Americans are not hard-wired to love cars, and that creating more compact, mixed-use developments in cities and even suburbs around good transit and safe streets for bicycling and walking can wean Americans from their environmentally destructive and unhealthy auto habit.  It also suggests that for many people changing attitudes are likely to follow, rather than precede, a change in our infrastructure. Cars and the Environment (Pt 1) As an historian, my summer reading lists lean heavily toward nonfiction history.  As an advocate for bicycling, transit, and complete streets, it may strike some as odd that I’m interested in the history of the automobile, but there’s no question that, for better or worse, the automobile has reshaped our world and it behooves those of us who are critical of the car-centered transportation system to understand it in all its complexity.  To that end, I will be reviewing two recent scholarly histories on my summer reading list that explore the social and environmental impact of the automobile and my reflection on what this means for moving our culture away from its auto dependency.  I’ll provide these reviews serially, so that I can give sufficient attention to each. The first study under review is Tom McCarthy’s Auto Mania: Cars, Consumers, and the Environment (Yale University Press, 2007), which explores what McCarthy sees as Americans’ “love affair” with the automobile from an environmental standpoint.  According to McCarthy, this “love affair” was the result of millions of consumer decisions, and the car as a medium for Americans’ psychological and social desires.  In other words, the car has played a central role in 20th century American society, McCarthy argues, because it has been much more than a mode of transportation, it has been an expression of economic success and social identity, Americans’ “chief talisman of successful belonging.” (p. 47)  While McCarthy thinks Americans’ consumer-driven car culture has been significantly  influenced by the auto industry’s marketing strategies, he argues that consumers have not always been passive recipients of industry marketing.  He provides examples of consumers acting in ways that auto manufacturers did not expect, such as the rise of the simple Volkswagen in the 1950s and 1960s as a counterpoint to Detroit’s “bigger is better” mentality.  Thus, he sees cars as providing consumers with important cultural capital, beyond the utilitarian aspect.  As such, any effort to shift toward a multi-modal transportation system must grapple with the deep psychological attachment Americans have to their cars. McCarthy’s assessment of the environmental consequences of the “love affair” with cars is the strength of this study.  By the 1940s, the environmental impact of the use of automobiles and the burning of gasoline for personal propulsion became obvious and prompted an unprecedented government regulatory apparatus to deal with it.  Los Angeles, “car capital” of the nation, not only had some of the nation’s worst smog, but led the effort to regulate it when it became apparent that the smog was negatively affecting the region’s carefully crafted image as a tourist destination. (pp. 116-17)  It is sobering to realize that the industry resisted smog controls for decades, meaning that effective reduction of smog in US cities did not occur until the 1970s following the mobilization of the environmental movement.  Ultimately, it was a mobilized citizenry demanding government regulation, rather than consumer choice and the free market that cleaned the air in Los Angeles. (p. 254-55)  There are important lessons in McCarthy’s book for the effort to regulate carbon emissions today, since it can be argued we don’t have the luxury to wait decades for the industry to shift away from business as usual. Where McCarthy is at his most trenchant, is his unpacking of a major portion of the oversized environmental footprint of the automobile, from raw material extraction through manufacturing, use, and disposal.  While consumer demand may have driven the industry, McCarthy argues, that demand created unprecedented environmental problems.  By the 1920s, auto manufacturers were (and still are) among the world’s largest consumers of raw materials such as iron, steel, rubber, plate glass, leather, lead, zinc, and aluminum.  Modern strip-mining techniques were pioneered and expanded in order to meet the insatiable demand of the auto industry, deeply scarring the land.  Manufacturing cars produced unprecedented levels of industrial pollution: Fly ash, iron oxide, heavy metals, sulfur dioxide, and or course, millions of tons of carbon dioxide belched from the smokestacks of the coke ovens, blast furnaces, foundries, steel mills, and plants of American steel and auto industries.  Iron, sulfuric acid, cyanide, phenols, and heavy metals poured into the sewers and rivers that served as liquid waste conduits away from the plants.  (p. 46)   A full environmental accounting of the automobile industry would indeed be a vast undertaking, involving an assessment of the environmental impacts not only of the major manufacturers, but the thousands of smaller suppliers the industry relies upon.  A total environmental accounting is beyond the scope of McCarthy’s study, but even focusing on one manufacturing plant, Ford’s River Rouge plant in Dearborn, MI, offers evidence of the profoundly troubling environmental legacy of the industry.  McCarthy helps us see that a major portion of the automobile’s environmental footprint came from its raw material extraction and refining.  That relative environmental impact remains true today whether the car burns gasoline or uses electricity to power its engine. Consider the amount of strip mining that will be necessary to provide lithium ion batteries for literally hundreds of millions—perhaps billions—of electric vehicles and the toxic legacy of their inevitable disposal.  McCarthy’s historical analysis provides an opportunity for us to see why it simply may not be possible to manufacture cars on the massive scale necessary for even a fraction of the world’s population to drive and not cause serious damage to the earth and its climate, even if they don’t burn gasoline (and this doesn’t take into account the carbon footprint of sprawl attendant to the automobile lifestyle).  McCarthy traces the efforts over the decades after World War II to reduce the industrial pollutants flowing from smokestacks, but large quantities of pollutants and tremendous energy consumption (often fossil-fuel derived) will continue to be an inevitable by-product of large scale automobile manufacturing.  Viewed as an entire system of resource extraction, energy intensive mass production, distribution, use, and disposal, we might reasonably conclude that there is no such thing as a “green” car. McCarthy helps us see the larger environmental impact of the car beyond tailpipe emissions, helps us understand that we shouldn’t expect these environmental consequences to be addressed by consumer choice alone, and suggests that our society may need to rethink its “auto mania.”  If there is a blind spot in McCarthy’s analysis, it is that by placing so much emphasis on consumer choice as a driving force for automobility, he leaves little room for analyzing the way in which the radical redesign of the built environment around the automobile in the 20th century provided the context for those consumer decisions and eventually precluded virtually any “choice” not to drive. It is to that aspect we shall turn in my next review. A Sea Change Something Happening Here Pasadena Complete Streets Forum discusses Pasadena's Bike Plan.

Just another site Archive for the ‘Spassky’ Category Are We What We Have Been Influenced By? with 4 comments Have you ever thought about the past influences you show in the way you play Chess?. Think about it for a while. My early Chess influences were , in this order, Karpov-Petrosian-Nimzowitsch (and the Hypermodern movement)-Botvinnik-Fischer and Spassky . I have learnt many things from all of them. If I reduce the list it would read: Karpov-Nimzowitsch et alii-Fischer-Spassky. Now you may say: “So what? Different chessplayers,different styles, etc.” Well, let’s try to find the common denominator. In fact when we speak of “influences” in Chess I immediately think of  openings and   certain middlegame recurrent positions.  1.- Openings: Karpov (from his beginnings till around 1986), Fischer, Spassky and Nimzowitsch have had 1. e4 as their main opening as White. As Black Karpov ,Fischer and Spassky have played the Sicilian (my main weapon). The four have played Hypermodern defences : the Nimzoindian, the Queen´s Indian, the Grünfeld, the King’s Indian, the Benoni. I have played all of them + the Orthodox (Spassky’s weapon for many years too).  2.- Middlegames: I have studied many books on strategy, middlegame Pawn constellations, etc. Books written by GMs from the Soviet Chess School and other GMs. like Pachman, Soltis, Grau (Argentina),Marovic, etc. I have studied Tarrasch´s and Steinitz´s games… BUT the greatest influence of all came from around 1979-80, when I came across my first copies of Nimzowitsch’s “Chess Praxis” and “My System” (the latter is a curious extended edition including different appendix with Nimzo’s articles which do not appear in the original and editions made after it (I suppose the editor decided to include them for the sake of completeness…). Then I managed to get a copy from “Blockade” published in the United States. And afterwards , I have tried to obtain anything on Nimzowitsch. For instance I have a copy from “Aron Nimzowitsch 100 Partier Forsynet med Stormensterens egne Kommentarer Og Skakcauserier” by Bjorn Nielsen in Danish (!!). And Nimzowitsch led me to Reti, Tartakower, Breyer,… The Hypermodern reaction to the “classicism” represented by Tarrasch is known by everybody. I began to play Hypermodern Defences and typical middlegame set-ups avoiding the invasion of the centre with Pawns but trying to control and attack it from the wings. In my early years I used the English, the Reti or the Barcza System as White. I even tried bizarre systems like 1. c4, e5 2. e4 or 1. e4, c5 or …e5 / 2. c4. Or the Dresden Variation of the English, a most cherished  set-up of Nimzowitsch’s. In Chess we could distinguish several periods (Chess writers call them “Schools”): Morphy, Anderssen et alii belonged to the Romantic School. Then came the Classical School with Tarrasch and contemporaries. One step forward and we have the Hypermodern School (curiously both Tarrasch and Nimzowitsch claimed they were trying to explain Steinitz’s ideas … to reach conclusions poles apart…). Afterwards, the Soviet Chess School, comprising everything, re-formulating many concepts,discovering new ones, etc. Today’s chessplayers follow an eclectic path (I guess). In a period of ultra-dynamism you can still find positional masterpieces in a classical or a hypermodern style be those what they may. I have written that certain school of thought has proclaimed that there is no strategy these days because the opening stage has been so extended that modern “tabiyas” may place the game between the 20th and the 30th move. (You can notice it at top-level Chess and in CC). But nearly everybody has a favourite idol : you may like Capablanca’s classical approach or Tal’s romantic one. Etc. Perhaps knowing about all this may help us to improve because by insisting upon those features we have subconsciously acquired since our beginnings we may play within” our true style” or at least avoid repeating past mistakes, when perhaps we mixed things… (after all , one cannot play the Alekhine (1. e4, Nf6/ with the idea of invading the whole board with our Pawns… Get it?) (In a different post I will write about Richard Reti (1889-1929) but I would like to include one of his compositions -No, it is not the famous  King/Pawn-race one…):  This study was published by Reti and Mandler in 1924. White to move wins.  Instructions: 1.- This is not a mate problem. 2.- Study the position and try to imagine how White can proceed and how Black can defend his position. 3.- You can do it without moving the pieces. Then, try to find a solution by moving the pieces if necessary. 4.- You can cover the solution and try to find the first move and so on checking your election against the solution as if it were a game. White must play for the win, Black will try to , at least, get a draw. This is an exercise of threats/defences ,threats/counterthreats. Remember that ,  in Chess, all the work you do always pays off, always reward. 1.- Ng1, Kd2! / 2. Nf3+ , Kd3! /3. Ke1, Ke3 / 4. Ne5, Ke4 /5. Nc4, Kd3 6. Nd2, Ke3/ 7. Nf3, Kd3 /8. Kf1! Ke3 / 9. Ne1, Kd2/ 10. Nc2!, Kd1 / 11. Nb4, Kd2 / 12. Nd5 winning. Written by QChess March 14, 2014 at 12:33 pm Calculation,Intuition, Both… with 2 comments In a previous post I spoke of the influence Alekhine exerted  on Spassky. If you study both, you will really feel the connection, though sometimes it is very difficult to express it in words. Spassky always strived for positions full of tactical or combinative possibilities relying on his intuition and calculation skill. In most of his games the overall landscape seems unclear, blurred, lacking clear strategical indications. In other players’ games you  can follow their tactical lines of thought. As Spassky blended it with an immense underground intuitive work, many of his games seems very complicated, nearly chaotic, until the ideas finally emerge . Sometimes you will need to play through his games twice or three times to fully appreciate the details. Do not miss the following game or dismiss it because of the result, for instance: W.: B. Spassky  B.: R. Jolmov Moscow 1957.  1.  d4, Nf6/ 2. c4, e6 / 3. Nc3, Bb4 / 4. Bg5, h6/ 5. Bh4, c5/ 6. d5, Bxc3/ 7. bxc3, e5/ 8. Qc2, d6/ 9. e3, Qe7/ 10. Nf3, Nbd7/ 11. Nd2, e4/ 12. 0-0-0, 0-0/ 13. g4, g5/ 14. Bg3, Ne5/ 15. h3, Ng6/ 16. Be2, Re8/ 17. Rdg1, Bd7/ 18. h4, Rab8/ 19. hxg5, hxg5 /20. Rh5 !!!? (Typical Spassky’s kind of hammer-blow. What follows is a display of blows/counterblows which require precise calculation:) 20. …, Nxh5/ 21. gxh5, Nf8/ 22. Nxe4!!, Qxe4/ 23. Qxe4, Rxe4/ 24. Bxd6, Rbe8/ 25. Rxg5, Kh8/ 26. Bxc5, f6/ 27. Rg3, b6/ 28. Bd4, Nh7/ 29. Kd2, Rg8/ 30. Rg6, Be8/ 31. Bd3!? (Does the key of the game lie in this junction as Kasparov seems to hint at?

Of course he has played many games where the strategical plans are more or less “clear”. But he has always been bordering the red line which separates the complicate from the chaotic. What I am going to write now may seem too strong, but it is what I think: Boris Spassky has been one of the most injustly treated among the World Chess Champions of all times. When I met him in 2007  he left a deep impression on me. I do not know if it was his personal charisma, the fondness with which he treated me or the traits of is character I could perceive, but this man is worth a clear and absolute vindication.  And the problem is that you cannot mention Spassky without Fischer and the 1972 match cropping up immediately. But nobody seems to remember that Spassky was the leading figure of the 60’s, above Petrosian and Fischer. He had to play six gruelling Candidates’ matches and two World Championship ones to become Champion of the World, defeating Tal,Keres,Korchnoi,Geller ,Larsen,…and Petrosian. It is understandable that Fischer’s feat may overshadow any other achievement, but this does not mean justice to the man who also deserves it. This is a mate in 3 composed by Pauly.

Let me explain: you like CC and perhaps you are playing in any  ICCF official event. This is my case. Of late, I have realized that most of my opponents are not only armed to the teeth with databases, and the rest of CC paraphernalia: many of them seem to be connected to the webserver  perpetually: I work hard on my move, find it, check and recheck it well , not always…- send it and “voilà” , I have not written it down yet and   the answer flashed on the screen. Believe me: I have sent moves at the oddest and infamous hours. It doesn´t matter: there is always someone with their move or conditional move ready  and deciding s/he is not going to give you any respite. And it is not a matter of different time zones… Some days ago I told an opponent -and friend of mine from Sweden- that I saw today’s CC as a jungle full of lions, panthers, tigers … and me. The problem is that I saw myself as a kitten and the rest of felines instead of considering me a fellow-feline companion considered me as their food… Then, do I lack the famous “killer instinct”?. Or perhaps am I more an artist and not a fighter and so on?. The answer to both questions is in the negative. No, I want to win all my games, to beat all my opponents, I like fighting and winning. So, I do not know why I see myself as a kitten and the rest as a wild group of big felines out for blood. -And please, do not suggest I should need a psychiatrist 🙂 🙂 – I have found the following position and notes (do not know where it appeared or wrote the accompanying legend) in my archives: “J. Mendheim. 19th century. This 5-mover is a great example of stormy power play. The solution usually contains sparkling combinations, and positions resemble actual games”. (So mate in five moves) How is Boris Spassky? Since he fled to Mother Russia already some time ago the only things that have come out are that he is recovering slowly from a stroke, that he made brief public appearances and that he decided to be inscribed as a Russian -instead on a French- chessplayer again. I have been unable to get in touch with him as I did before (you can read about all this in previous posts in this blog). Well, I frequently remember that July 2007 when we met in my hometown, and spent several days together… This episode was the second stroke he suffered in the space of several years. He managed to recover quite well from the first one, but experts say that a repetition is usually terrible. When I read about him and Fischer sometimes it seems as if the early seventies of the past century were placed two centuries ago, belonged to a  part of my life lost in the mists of time. Curiously enough, unknown snaps featuring Bobby Fischer keep appearing: the last one (“Spraggett on Chess” Blog) depicts Fischer giving  lecture at Hart House in Toronto, Canada. It is very curious but Fischer seemed to have been always doing something on my very birthday date along the years… Those who regularly follow this blog may have realized that changes in the system have erased several images and positions. I do not know why this has happened…-the gremlings???- One of those images corresponds to a mate in three moves problem by Tavariani  (level: difficult): I think these problems are enough to make you feel the pangs of devoting your lives to playing Chess…Or not. Written by QChess November 8, 2013 at 8:29 am Training with Spassky leave a comment » Boris Spassky’s childhood was not easy. Born in 1937 he and his family had to endure the hardships of the 2nd World War. A country devastated and a country ruled by no other than Stalin… Boris used to spend many hours analysing games at home and trying to spend as much time as possible at the Pioneers’ Palace. His idol was A. Alekhine, whose games tried to understand for hours on end. This helped him to become not only a universal chessplayer, but also left a very deep influence in his tactical skills. That work left an indelible imprint for years to come: like Alekhine he was able to play positional games full of strategical sparkling ideas or combinative attacking games in the 19th century Chess tradition. Like his admired predecessor, he was able in a rather subconscious way to reach positions charged with latent energy ready to explode in a given moment. He developed also a very precise insight to perceive  and take advantage of the critical moments during games. Unlike Botvinnik, Karpov or Kasparov, Boris never liked to write about his Chess experiences. Unlike with Fischer, about whom scores of books have been written, very few people was interested on Spassky. (Perhaps because his enormous talent requires a lot of effort to be clearly dissected? .who knows…) Many people know Boris as “the player who lost to Fischer”. But I must say he is one of the most complete and interesting chessplayer in the history of the royal game. If you devote time to study his games, the first thing you realise is the different sides his talent show. When you believe you know him quite well, a new aspect is revealed here or there. So, is it possible to train with Spassky?.- Absolutely yes. In this post I have included games to be studied/analysed and five exercises taken from his games. Good luck.

Spassky (As an homage to Spassky and my father, who taught me the moves around 1971 and from whom I first heard of Boris, here are some of the notes I wrote when I found some interesting stylistic features in Spassky’s games.) In his games, Boris Spassky is always looking for aggressive moves, moves that pose one threat after another. This is what has been defined as “aggressive-thinking mode”. Instead of using defensive (passive) moves he answer with threats whenever possible. The aim is the attempt to break the coordination of his opponents’ pieces.In the following game we can see this feature in different moments. (Please bear in mind that these notes are totally subjective) W.: A. Lein (0) B.: B. Spassky (1) Sochi, 1964 1. e4 , c5/ 2. Nf3, Nc6/ 3. d4, cd4/ 4. Nxd4, e6/ 5. Nxc6, bc6/ 6.

Bc2, Bf6 ( the plan is the attack on b2 and later the attack on the Q-side with long-range pieces so as to create indirect threats on the K-side. 13…Bf6 prevents White’s b2-b4 too.)/  14. Nb3, Nxb3/ 15. ab3, Bb7/ 16. Qe3, Qb8/   (instead of defending passively with …a6/)  17. Ra2, Rc8  (threatening 18…,dc4) / 18. Qh3, g6/ 19. Bh6, dc4   (another attacking plan side-stepping White’s threats on e6) 20. Rxe6, Re8 / 21. Rxe8, Qxe8/ 22. Qe3, Qc6 (attacking on both sides of the board through files and diagonals)/ 23. Qf3, Qb6  ( this move and the following one threaten…Re1 and prevent white’s h2-h3 or h2-h4 due to …Be5/ )  24. Qg3, Re8/ 25. Ra1, Bxb2/ 26. Rd1, Be5/ 27. Re1, Qa5/ 28. b4, Qxb4/ 29. Qxe5, Qxe1/ White resigned. As Black, Spassky is always thinking of counterattack. Instead of seeing defence as something passive, he always try to create counter-threats. I think he prefers to isolate his opponents’ concrete threats and try to meet them one by one rather to set up a whole defensive strategy as the order of the day. In purely “Leningrad School of Chess”, he tries to counterbalance his opponents’ attacks in an active -never passively- way. He believes more in active plans than in prophylactic webs. This risky way of dealing with the problem of defence creates terrible clashes over the board.(Perhaps this is his Alexander Tolusch’s trademark -Tolusch was one of his first trainers. In my opinion,in some aspects of Boris approach to Chess, Tolusch influence is more conspicuous than Bondarevsky’s one.Tolusch trained Boris when he was a young boy and was forming his Chess style. Those first childhood influences are hard to erase because, due to psychological reasons, they tend to remain firmly stuck on one’s mind) . All in all, I have always found something elusive (indistint?, unclear?,blurred?, diffused?…) in Spassky’s style, something that is there but cannot be easily brought to the surface. Perhaps it is a blend of Alekhinian influence plus the Leningrad School of Chess, something he learnt as a child and later developed in thousands of games perhaps in a rather subconscious way. It is not only the way he plays Chess, it is also the way he understands the relations among the different elements that compose the game. In my humble and perhaps wrong opinion, this explains why in the sixties he became nearly unbeatable, why he managed to go through two gruelling series of Candidates’ matches   to play for the World Championship in 1966 and 1969, and why the always ferocious Bobby Fischer, with his hate for the Soviets, failed to beat him during those years. In fact , between 1960 and 1971, the score between them was clearly in Spassky’s favour: +3 -0 =2, and forced Fischer to change his approach “to the Spassky problem” so as to beat him in 1972. (Nevertheless, in 1972 Spassky’s wrong approach and wrong punctual decisions helped a lot to allow Fischer play the type of psychological game most favourable to his interests. And this has been admitted by Boris himself.). During those years he also defeated all sort of chessplayers like Petrosian, Keres, Geller, Tal, Korchnoi,  Gligoric, Larsen, Polugaevsky, Bronstein, Smyslov, Reshevsky, etc. Another feature in Spassky’s style I have found some notes about has to do with his games against Keres in the 1965 Riga Match (5th game) and against Petrosian in Moscow 1966: Spassky always attack undefended pieces/pawns using it as a sort of intermediate-move device. Whenever possible, he defends his pieces indirectly by attacking his opponents’ ones. This also allows him to improve the position of his own army without restoring to passive defence. Another effect of this way of playing is that he manages to charge the position with energy ready to explode later in the game. He always creates and maintains tension in the position sustaining it as longer as possible.  In the first game  against Keres, the “e4 Pawn” is indirectly defended for many moves because taking it would mean to liberate all the tactical energy contained in the position. In the game against Petrosian he also uses the “Principle of the Two Weaknesses” and the constant attack on undefended pieces: W.:  B. Spassky (1) B.: P. Keres (0) Candidates’ Match.

Every Chess game by a GM contains a lot of subtleties. I have pinpointed two of them. You can discover many others.In Chess,the work you do not do is not done by anybody else… Unfortunately, I have seen some photos of Spassky taken last December when he was taken by Vasiukov to the  Central House of Chess in Moscow. I was shocked and could only remember Shakespeare words in “Hamlet”: ” Tears in his eyes, distraction in his aspect…”. The man I met in 2007 full of life and vitality… I wonder what we are here for, why so much suffering and pain simply to play the losers’  game we call life… I can forget those days we spent together talking of everything. Nobody can rob us of our memories. I am writing these words on December 29th 2012. Christmas time. Boris is in Russia, his beloved Russia. When he had to abandon it in 1976 little could have he imagine the day would arrive when his salvation would have to come from his friends in his Motherland. I’m sad and depressed. It’s all I can say. Quoting Shakespeare again, “…the rest,let sorrow say”… In the meanwhile, I remember when Boris beat Karpov at Corsica in 2006  (Match of the Legends). After the match, he wrote to me informing me of the event and said something very curious: “I have beaten Karpov and I am no longer afraid of this man“. Why this?.- Years later I found out why: The overall score Spassky-Karpov is heavily in favour of the younger man (Karpov). In the past, Boris reached the conclusion that Tolya played very very strongly, adding that Karpov process of thought was completely different to his own one and that was why he found so difficult to play against him. He never forgot that fact,  and in 2006 he managed to break the spell! Incidentally, an evidence of how deep feelings among super GMs. are!Here are both games played with a control of 15 minutes( + 3 additional seconds per move: In the first game, Spassky played a Bogoindian Defence and the game was drawn after 62 moves.

Spassky In 1966 the Piatigorsky couple (the famous cellist George Piatigorsky and his wife Jacqueline) organised the “2nd Piatigorsky Cup”. The first one had taken place three years before. This time, Mrs Piatigorsky decided to invite Bobby Fischer who had not been invited in the previous one -provoking some disrespectful comments on Bobby’s part…-. The great event was scheduled to be played from July 17th all through August  15th, the venue was Santa Monica, California, USA. The importance of he tournament was such that even FIDE recommended its member nations not to organise  any other event during the celebration of the Piatigorsky one. It was a double round-robin tournament and the always seemingly reluctant Soviet authorities (sending players to the USA…) even agreed to send two players to it , and they were no others than the current World Champion Tigran Petrosian and the challenger Boris Spassky, the two best players in the world (during those years I consider that the World Champion and the challenger were the best players in the world though it is a matter of opinion)  and who had just played for the title with the victory of Petrosian, as everybody knows. Besides these two super GMs, the list of players included Bobby Fischer, B. Larsen, W. Unzicker, L. Portisch, S. Reshevsky, M. Najdorf, B. Ivkov and J. Donner. The event seemed tailored to Fischer’s taste: he had always complained about the USA Championships, with few players and in which any small “accident” may cost the championship: here every player would have to play eighteen games against some of the best chessplayers in the world. Nevertheless, Fischer started the tournament in a rather dull way, with a poor showing: when the first round-robin ended -9 games- he only had 3.5 points. He reacted in the second part of the event beating Reshevsky, Portisch, Ivkov, Donner, Larsen and Najdorf. With two rounds to go Spassky and him were leading the field. But Spassky seemed unbeatable, playing overwhelmingly strong Chess to emerge as the winner with 11.5 points and no losses ( Boris won five of the nine matches and drew the rest losing no game at all). Fischer was second winning more games than Boris but losing three of them. The rest were Larsen, Unzicker, Portisch, Petrosian (a poor performance by the World Champion),Reshevsky,Najdorf, Ivkov and Donner. Knowing Fischer’s character, one may suppose that the worst for him was that  he was unable to defeat Petrosian (two draws) and the loss in his particular duel with Spassky (1.5 -0.5 for the Soviet). I have read that during Petrosian’s years as World Champion many people considered Spassky as the “real” champion (poles apart stylistically speaking ,one may share or not this opinion but it is understandable. Spassky was not only an attacking player  with what was defined as a universal style, he was also one of the most difficult players to beat, and up till 1972, he was Fischer’s “bête noir”). W.: B.

DEPTFORD QUATRAINS Why are Pterodactyls so called then? Pterodactyl means “Winged Finger”. Their wings were formed by a membrane of skin, muscle, and other tissues stretching from the legs to a dramatically lengthened fourth finger. Well, I never. See below from Wikipedia: A dactyl (Gr. δάκτυλος dáktulos, “finger”) is a type of metre in poetry. In quantitative verse, such as Greek or Latin, a dactyl is a long syllable followed by two short syllables, as determined by syllable weight. In accentual verse, such as in English it is a stressed syllable followed by two unstressed syllables — the opposite is the anapaest (two unstressed followed by a stressed syllable). An example of dactylic meter is the first line of Henry Wadworth Longfellow’s poem Evangeline, which is in dactylic hexameter: A modern example is the Beatles song “Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds”: Picture your self in a boat on a river with tangerine tree-ees and marmalade skii-ii-es. Written in dactylic tetrameter, the verses of the song have the rhythm of a waltz. The word “skies” takes up a full three beats. Dactyls are the metrical foot of Greek elegiac poetry, which followed a line of dactylic hexameter with dactylic pentameter. Leave a Reply You are commenting using your account.

Home » X-Ray Full-Body Scanners X-Ray Full-Body Scanners for Airport Security X-Ray Full-Body Scanners home Context - To improve airport security in the light of terrorist threats new full-body scanners have been developed to complement existing metal detectors and hand searches. Scanner types that do not use X-rays - "millimeter wave scanners" are already allowed in the EU and deployed in some airports. Other types of scanners already used in the USA expose passengers to low levels of X-rays. They are not yet authorised in the EU because of concern about potential health risks. How safe are such X-ray security scanners for passengers, in particular for frequent flyers? • Source document:SCENIHR (2012) • Summary & Details: GreenFacts Latest update: 30 September 2013 How do those full-body scanners work? Whole body scanners provide a picture of the person's body through the clothes to reveal hidden objects. Four technologies are currently on the market: Millimeter-wave scanners, that don't use X-rays: X-ray scanners: How much radiation are people exposed to in x-ray scanners? When exposed to X-rays our body absorbs energy, the amount of energy effectively absorbed over time is expressed in "sievert" (Sv). Over the course of one year, a person should not be exposed to more than a total of 1 millisievert from man-made sources such as medical diagnostic devices or security scanners. This is the maximum acceptable limit set for the general public and is roughly equivalent to the amount of natural radiation we are also exposed to. Transmission scanners that see into the body use higher energy X-rays than Backscatter scanner that only view the surface and as a result the dose absorbed is 10 times greater. A single scan is roughly the equivalent of one hour of background radiation at ground level, or 10 minutes at cruising altitude in an airplane. In the worst case scenario, of a person being scanned three times a day every working day throughout the year, a backscatter scanner would contribute 0,3 millisievert to their annual dose. A transmission scanner, however, would contribute 3 millisievert and exceed the tolerable limit. In practice, most passengers would not be exposed so frequently to these scanners. This may however be a concern for airline crew or people who fly very frequently. Does exposure to x-rays from scanners present health risks? Exposure to high levels of X-rays can increase the risk of cancer and cardiovascular diseases, lead to cloudiness of the lens of the eye and hereditary effects. However, there is no evidence that the low radiation doses received from full- body scanners would induce any health problems. Nonetheless, each exposure adds to the overall radiation dose we receive in the course of our life and in the long term, the risk of developing cancer increases with radiation dose. While no dose can be considered completely safe, it is likely that the increased cancer risk from exposure to radiation from security scanners is so low that it cannot be distinguished from the effects of natural radiation or the background risk due to other factors. Direct evidence of an increased cancer risk has only been found for cumulative doses higher than 100 millisievert. Is the use of full-body x-ray scanners justified? To decide whether or not the use of X-ray scanners is acceptable, it is necessary to weigh the benefits and risks but this is not straightforward. The main benefit is improved flight safety but there are economic costs and low health risks. So, whether or not X-ray scanners are acceptable for passenger screening is ultimately not a scientific, but a political decision that needs to take into account various factors. This fact sheet is based on the scientific opinion "Health effects of security scanners for passenger screening (based on X-ray technology)" adopted on 26 April 2012 by the independent European Scientific Committee on Emerging and Newly Identified Health Risk.

Widely known in Southeast Asia as the “king of fruits”, the Durian fruit  is distinctive for its large size, unique odour, and formidable thorn-covered husk. The fruit can grow as large as 30 centimetres long and 20 centimetres in diameter, and it typically weighs one to four kilograms. Its shape ranges from oblong to round, the colour of its husk green to brown, and its flesh pale yellow to red, depending on the species. The edible flesh emits a distinctive offensive odour, strong and penetrating even when the husk is intact but to many durian lovers, the soft flesh are tastefully pleasant. Some people regard the durian as fragrant while others find the aroma overpowering and offensive. The smell evokes reactions from deep appreciation to intense disgust, and has been described variously as almonds, rotten onions, turpentine, Limburger cheese, gym socks and stinky smell. The odour has led to the fruit’s banishment from certain hotels and public transportation in Southeast Asia. However, it is perhaps the most popular local fruit and if given choices on fruits, a Malaysian would take the durian first. Many people especially Europeans are hesitant at first to eat the fruit because of its odour, but once they do, they find it delicious and irresistible. In Malaysia durian are cultivated in orchards like farms in Pahang, Johore, Perak and Penang. Most of the peninsular states are suitable for durian cultivation especially around the hilly areas of Pahang, Perak and Johore. While durian fruit is not native to Thailand, the country has become the largest exporter of the fruit. It was introduced to Thailand during the 18th century. There are many different durian species in Thailand. Prices range from 100 Baht up to 2000 Baht. The “Mon Thong” species commands a higher price with bigger sized flesh and small pits. Species “Kadum”, “Chanee”, “Kan Yao” have bigger pits and less flesh. The durian fruit, is rich in energy, minerals and vitamins.The fruit is made of soft, easily digestible flesh with simple sugars like fructose and sucrose and some amount of simple fats when eaten replenished energy and revitalize the body instantly. Although it contains a relatively high amount of fats among fruits, but it is free from cholesterol. It is also a good source of antioxidant vitamin-C (about 33% of RDA). Consumption of foods rich in vitamin C helps body develop resistance against infectious agents and scavenge harmful free radicals. While there are many durian lovers who would be willing to pay more just to have the satisfaction of tasting the best flavoured durian in their life time, still there are people who would rather be at a distance away from the smell of it. It is just a matter of preference. Each individual taste buds and sense of smell trigger different messages to their brains. Thus, not everybody likes what you like. Some even hesitate their first try in tasting a durian but many find it irresistible and enjoyable. So, durians anyone? Just like blogging and having your own website, you will never know unless you try.
Saltation (geology) From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Jump to: navigation, search Saltation of sand In geology, saltation (from Latin saltus, "leap") is a specific type of particle transport by fluids such as wind or water. It occurs when loose material is removed from a bed and carried by the fluid, before being transported back to the surface. Examples include pebble transport by rivers, sand drift over desert surfaces, soil blowing over fields, and snow drift over smooth surfaces such as those in the Arctic or Canadian Prairies. Saltation process[edit] At low fluid velocities, loose material rolls downstream, staying in contact with the surface. This is called creep or reptation. Here the forces exerted by the fluid on the particle are only enough to roll the particle around the point of contact with the surface. Once the wind speed reaches a certain critical value, termed the impact or fluid threshold,[1] the drag and lift forces exerted by the fluid are sufficient to lift some particles from the surface. These particles are accelerated by the fluid, and pulled downward by gravity, causing them to travel in roughly ballistic trajectories.[2] If a particle has obtained sufficient speed from the acceleration by the fluid, it can eject, or splash, other particles in saltation,[3] which propagates the process.[4] Depending on the surface, the particle could also disintegrate on impact, or eject much finer sediment from the surface. In air, this process of saltation bombardment creates most of the dust in dust storms.[5] In rivers, this process repeats continually, gradually eroding away the river bed, but also transporting-in fresh material from upstream. Suspension generally affects small particles ('small' means ~70 micrometres or less for particles in air[5]). For these particles, vertical drag forces due to turbulent fluctuations in the fluid are similar in magnitude to the weight of the particle. These smaller particles are carried by the fluid in suspension, and advected downstream. The smaller the particle, the less important the downward pull of gravity, and the longer the particle is likely to stay in suspension. Saltating dune sand in a wind tunnel.

[VIII] Then Last Of All[edit] Of you O tides, the mystic human meaning: The brain that shapes, the voice that chants this song. Election Day, November, 1884[edit]       your huge rifts of canyons, Colorado, Nor you, Yosemite—nor Yellowstone, with all its spasmic       geyser-loops ascending to the skies, appearing and disappearing,       Mississippi's stream:       small voice vibrating—America's choosing day,       quadriennial choosing,) The countless snow-flakes falling—(a swordless conflict,       peaceful choice of all,       pants, life glows: These stormy gusts and winds waft precious ships, Swell'd Washington's, Jefferson's, Lincoln's sails. With Husky-Haughty Lips, O Sea![edit] With husky-haughty lips, O sea! Where day and night I wend thy surf-beat shore, Imaging to my sense thy varied strange suggestions, Thy troops of white-maned racers racing to the goal, Thy brooding scowl and murk—thy unloos'd hurricanes, Thy unsubduedness, caprices, wilfulness; Great as thou art above the rest, thy many tears—a lack from all       eternity in thy content,       greatest—no less could make thee,) Thy lonely state—something thou ever seek'st and seek'st, yet       never gain'st, Surely some right withheld—some voice, in huge monotonous rage, of       freedom-lover pent, By lengthen'd swell, and spasm, and panting breath, And rhythmic rasping of thy sands and waves, And serpent hiss, and savage peals of laughter, And undertones of distant lion roar, (Sounding, appealing to the sky's deaf ear—but now, rapport for once, A phantom in the night thy confidant for once,) The first and last confession of the globe, Outsurging, muttering from thy soul's abysms, The tale of cosmic elemental passion, Thou tellest to a kindred soul. Death of General Grant[edit] As one by one withdraw the lofty actors, From that great play on history's stage eterne, Man of the mighty days—and equal to the days! To admiration has it been enacted! Red Jacket (From Aloft)[edit] Upon this scene, this show, Yielded to-day by fashion, learning, wealth,       smile curving its phantom lips, Like one of Ossian's ghosts looks down. Washington's Monument February, 1885[edit] Ah, not this marble, dead and cold:       yours alone, America, Old Asia's there with venerable smile, seated amid her ruins;       legitimate, continued ever,       defeated not, the same:) Wherever Freedom, pois'd by Toleration, sway'd by Law, Stands or is rising thy true monument. Of That Blithe Throat of Thine[edit] Of that blithe throat of thine from arctic bleak and blank, I'll mind the lesson, solitary bird—let me too welcome chilling drifts, E'en the profoundest chill, as now—a torpid pulse, a brain unnerv'd, Old age land-lock'd within its winter bay—(cold, cold, O cold!) These snowy hairs, my feeble arm, my frozen feet, Not summer's zones alone—not chants of youth, or south's warm tides alone,       of years, These with gay heart I also sing. What hurrying human tides, or day or night! What whirls of evil, bliss and sorrow, stem thee! What curious questioning glances—glints of love! Leer, envy, scorn, contempt, hope, aspiration! Thou portal—thou arena—thou of the myriad long-drawn lines and groups! Thy windows rich, and huge hotels—thy side-walks wide;) Thou of the endless sliding, mincing, shuffling feet!       mocking life! Thou visor'd, vast, unspeakable show and lesson! To Get the Final Lilt of Songs[edit] To get the final lilt of songs, To penetrate the inmost lore of poets—to know the mighty ones, To diagnose the shifting-delicate tints of love and pride and doubt—       to truly understand, Old Salt Kossabone[edit] Far back, related on my mother's side, Old Salt Kossabone, I'll tell you how he died: (Had been a sailor all his life—was nearly 90—lived with his       married grandchild, Jenny;       stretch to open sea;)       regular custom, In his great arm chair by the window seated, (Sometimes, indeed, through half the day,) Watching the coming, going of the vessels, he mutters to himself—       And now the close of all: One struggling outbound brig, one day, baffled for long—cross-tides       and much wrong going, And swiftly bending round the cape, the darkness proudly entering,       cleaving, as he watches, "She's free—she's on her destination"—these the last words—when       Jenny came, he sat there dead, The Dead Tenor[edit] As down the stage again, With Spanish hat and plumes, and gait inimitable,       and test of all:) How through those strains distill'd—how the rapt ears, the soul of       me, absorbing Fernando's heart, Manrico's passionate call, Ernani's, sweet Gennaro's, Freedom's and Love's and Faith's unloos'd cantabile, (As perfume's, color's, sunlight's correlation:) To memory of thee. Nothing is ever really lost, or can be lost, Nor life, nor force, nor any visible thing; Appearance must not foil, nor shifted sphere confuse thy brain. Ample are time and space—ample the fields of Nature. To frozen clods ever the spring's invisible law returns, With grass and flowers and summer fruits and corn. A song, a poem of itself—the word itself a dirge, To me such misty, strange tableaux the syllables calling up; Yonnondio—I see, far in the west or north, a limitless ravine, with       plains and mountains dark, Yonnondio! Yonnondio!—unlimn'd they disappear; To-day gives place, and fades—the cities, farms, factories fade;       for a moment, Then blank and gone and still, and utterly lost. Ever the undiscouraged, resolute, struggling soul of man; (Have former armies fail'd? then we send fresh armies—and fresh again;) Ever the grappled mystery of all earth's ages old or new; Ever the soul dissatisfied, curious, unconvinced at last; Struggling to-day the same—battling the same. "Going Somewhere"[edit] My science-friend, my noblest woman-friend, (Now buried in an English grave—and this a memory-leaf for her dear sake,) Ended our talk—"The sum, concluding all we know of old or modern       learning, intuitions deep, "Of all Geologies—Histories—of all Astronomy—of Evolution,       Metaphysics all,       duly over,) "The world, the race, the soul—in space and time the universes, "All bound as is befitting each—all surely going somewhere." Small the Theme of My Chant[edit]       modern, the word En-Masse.       link'd together let us go.) True Conquerors[edit] Enough that they've survived at all—long life's unflinching ones! Forth from their struggles, trials, fights, to have emerged at all—       in that alone, True conquerors o'er all the rest. The United States to Old World Critics[edit] Wealth, order, travel, shelter, products, plenty; The solid-planted spires tall shooting to the stars. The Calming Thought of All[edit] That coursing on, whate'er men's speculations, Amid the changing schools, theologies, philosophies, Amid the bawling presentations new and old, The round earth's silent vital laws, facts, modes continue. Thanks in Old Age[edit] Thanks in old age—thanks ere I go, For health, the midday sun, the impalpable air—for life, mere life, For precious ever-lingering memories, (of you my mother dear—you,       father—you, brothers, sisters, friends,) For all my days—not those of peace alone—the days of war the same, For gentle words, caresses, gifts from foreign lands, For shelter, wine and meat—for sweet appreciation, (You distant, dim unknown—or young or old—countless, unspecified,       readers belov'd, We never met, and neer shall meet—and yet our souls embrace, long,       close and long;) For beings, groups, love, deeds, words, books—for colors, forms, For all the brave strong men—devoted, hardy men—who've forward       sprung in freedom's help, all years, all lands For braver, stronger, more devoted men—(a special laurel ere I go,       to life's war's chosen ones, The cannoneers of song and thought—the great artillerists—the       foremost leaders, captains of the soul:) As soldier from an ended war return'd—As traveler out of myriads,       to the long procession retrospective, Thanks—joyful thanks!—a soldier's, traveler's thanks. Life and Death[edit] The two old, simple problems ever intertwined, Close home, elusive, present, baffled, grappled. By each successive age insoluble, pass'd on, To ours to-day—and we pass on the same. The Voice of the Rain[edit]       yet the same,       and make pure and beautify it; Reck'd or unreck'd, duly with love returns.) Soon Shall the Winter's Foil Be Here[edit] Soon shall the winter's foil be here; Soon shall these icy ligatures unbind and melt—A little while,       growth—a thousand forms shall rise From these dead clods and chills as from low burial graves. Thine eyes, ears—all thy best attributes—all that takes cognizance       of natural beauty,       delicate miracles of earth,       plum and cherry; With these the robin, lark and thrush, singing their songs—the       flitting bluebird; For such the scenes the annual play brings on. While Not the Past Forgetting[edit] While not the past forgetting, To-day, at least, contention sunk entire—peace, brotherhood uprisen; For sign reciprocal our Northern, Southern hands, (Nor for the past alone—for meanings to the future,) Wreaths of roses and branches of palm. The Dying Veteran[edit] Amid these days of order, ease, prosperity, Amid the current songs of beauty, peace, decorum, I cast a reminiscence—(likely 'twill offend you, I heard it in my boyhood;)—More than a generation since, A queer old savage man, a fighter under Washington himself, Had fought in the ranks—fought well—had been all through the       Revolutionary war,) Lay dying—sons, daughters, church-deacons, lovingly tending him, "Let me return again to my war-days, To the sights and scenes—to forming the line of battle, To the scouts ahead reconnoitering, To the cannons, the grim artillery, To the galloping aides, carrying orders, The perfume strong, the smoke, the deafening noise; Away with your life of peace!—your joys of peace! Give me my old wild battle-life again!" Stronger Lessons[edit]       tender with you, and stood aside for you?       brace themselves against you? or who treat you with contempt,       or dispute the passage with you? A Prairie Sunset[edit] The earth's whole amplitude and Nature's multiform power consign'd       for once to colors;       North, South, all, Pure luminous color fighting the silent shadows to the last. Twenty Years[edit]       vehement notion;) Since, twenty years and more have circled round and round, Dress'd in its russet suit of good Scotch cloth: Orange Buds by Mail from Florida[edit] A lesser proof than old Voltaire's, yet greater, To my plain Northern hut, in outside clouds and snow, Brought safely for a thousand miles o'er land and tide, Some three days since on their own soil live-sprouting, Now here their sweetness through my room unfolding, A bunch of orange buds by mall from Florida. The soft voluptuous opiate shades, The sun just gone, the eager light dispell'd—(I too will soon be       gone, dispell'd,) A haze—nirwana—rest and night—oblivion. You Lingering Sparse Leaves of Me[edit] You lingering sparse leaves of me on winter-nearing boughs, You tokens diminute and lorn—(not now the flush of May, or July       clover-bloom—no grain of August now;) You pallid banner-staves—you pennants valueless—you overstay'd of time, Yet my soul-dearest leaves confirming all the rest, The faithfulest—hardiest—last. Not Meagre, Latent Boughs Alone[edit]       eagles' talons,)       summer—bursting forth, To verdant leaves, or sheltering shade—to nourishing fruit, Apples and grapes—the stalwart limbs of trees emerging—the fresh,       free, open air, And love and faith, like scented roses blooming. The Dead Emperor[edit] Mourning a good old man—a faithful shepherd, patriot. As the Greek's Signal Flame[edit] As the Greek's signal flame, by antique records told, Rose from the hill-top, like applause and glory, Welcoming in fame some special veteran, hero, With rosy tinge reddening the land he'd served, So I aloft from Mannahatta's ship-fringed shore, Lift high a kindled brand for thee, Old Poet. The Dismantled Ship[edit] In some unused lagoon, some nameless bay, On sluggish, lonesome waters, anchor'd near the shore,       hawser'd tight, Lies rusting, mouldering. Now Precedent Songs, Farewell[edit] Now precedent songs, farewell—by every name farewell, Or Paumanok, Song of Myself, Calamus, or Adam, From fibre heart of mine—from throat and tongue—(My life's hot       pulsing blood,       and ink,)       indeed to that! What wretched shred e'en at the best of all!) An Evening Lull[edit] After a week of physical anguish, Unrest and pain, and feverish heat, Toward the ending day a calm and lull comes on, Three hours of peace and soothing rest of brain. Old Age's Lambent Peaks[edit] Objects and groups, bearings, faces, reminiscences; The calmer sight—the golden setting, clear and broad:       we scan, Bro't out by them alone—so much (perhaps the best) unreck'd before; The lights indeed from them—old age's lambent peaks. After the Supper and Talk[edit] After the supper and talk—after the day is done, As a friend from friends his final withdrawal prolonging, Good-bye and Good-bye with emotional lips repeating, (So hard for his hand to release those hands—no more will they meet, Shunning, postponing severance—seeking to ward off the last word       ever so little,       e'en as he descends the steps, Farewells, messages lessening—dimmer the forthgoer's visage and form, Garrulous to the very last.
Ctrl-W, the key sequence used to delete a word at a time in many UNIX environments. Strangely enough, tcsh just makes this a euphemism for ^U, and many programs don't even bother to implement it. Too bad, since it's really useful. At least tinyfugue uses it, and some people grok its meaning. Mostly, it's useful for showing "accidental" long sections of text which need to be deleted without having a buttload of ^Hs. A lot of fucking idiots^W^WWindows l^Husers could do to fuck off and die^W^W^W^Wlearn more about UNIX. In fact, tcsh binds ^W to a different action (kill-region) than it does ^U (kill-whole-line). The binding is stolen from (X)Emacs. To use it, first set the "mark" somewhere in the line of text (hit C-space (^space) or C-@ (^@)), then go somewhere else and kill the region with C-w. Now you can use "yank", bound to C-y (^Y) to insert what you deleted. When you start editing a line, mark is at the beginning of the line, which explains the behaviour Magenta complains about.
YY Chat- The Development of Online Chat Platform As the online technology has been developing in high speed, online video chat platform, which is one of the most useful functions of IT tools, has been used in many different ways. The distance between becomes shorter and shorter, which increases the speed of globalization. From E-mail texts to Internet phone, that owns to the development of wide band. Most video chat apps and websites, are free, people can easily use them now, based on which plenty of company have become well known by Internet users. For most people, they cannot image the life without online video chat. In this report, I will focus on one of the video chat platform- YY Chat, which is one of the most popular online video chat website. The report will analyze the development of YY chat in China and the comparison of different online chat platforms. What is YY Chat? YY Chat began in 2005 creating Duowan.com, a gaming portal for gamers in China. Duowan company launched YY in 2008, a voice-based gaming communications service, which enabled gamers to voice chat over the Internet and text chat in real-time while slaying monsters or coordinating gaming missions. In the beginning, YY was just common audio-chat software for the famous online game World of Warcraft (WoW), which is one of the most classic games made by Blizzar Entertainment. The players in a same team could easily create a channel, in which they can communicate well by their voice without typing texts on the screen. However, YY has since grown beyond gaming into a much larger social communication platform, added video streaming, and grown to 310 million registered users and 60 million monthly active users. On YY.com, users could play different games, talk to their friends, get educated or broadcast a video show program, or use virtual coins for social deals à la Groupon. Slutsky (2012) analyzes that what really makes YY standout is the fact that it has a built in system that enables site users to earn real profit. As a website which originates from game function software, YY.com still treat the game broadcast as its most important part. When there are some top game competitions, YY’s live broadcast will attract a lot of game players to watch and join in the discussion. WangYi website (2013) shows that the 2013 WCG competition attracted 2 million users to watch live broadcast in 3 days, and on the top time, there were 400 thousands users watching the game at the same time, which had made a new record. How can YY develop so fast? Firstly, China has arround 520 million net users in 2012, which includes almost 5 million World of Warcraft game players. These players play an important part in YY users. Because YY Chat has stable and high quality of its online chat function. Even the game company develop its own software UC chat, most game players still prefer to using YY, which they are familiar with, to have group playing. YY Chat is much easier to use than other chat software like QQ that when the players want to speak to others, they just need to press “F2” button on keyboard. Moreover, when the players create rooms in YY, others can easily join in without send any request. The most important reason YY has amount of users, as Bake website states is because that, YY has set its rules and operated strictly, which is forbidding any advertisement, solving any broadcast issues in 1 minute and avoiding any sexual, violent or selling contents. These rules help YY keeping most of its users. As the technology is developing, Duowan game company, which YY belongs to, has gradually strengthened and consummated its function. By YY service, singers, teachers, or other people can earn money on its via virtual goods. Slutsky (2012) shows that the top performers on YY.com can earn more than $20,o00 monthly–a remarkable figure. Audience members buy and give virtual roses to performers they like and the performers cash them in for real money. Thus the singers have an incentive to deliver high quality performances. As li says, YY could help “rejuvenate a lot of industries. As many know it’s very difficult to make real money on the music business because of rampant piracy. But if you’re a talented singer or performer, and you have YY, a webcam and an Internet connection, then you can perform (and make money).” How further can YY develop? For Chinese video chat platform YY, now meet some problems. On one hand, the Chinese government has published some laws to control what can be broadcast on website and what cannot. They are very strict with the texts, pictures and videos, which will be put onto website. They create a system, which is called Great Wall to limit a lot of foreign websites and monitor everything from Chinese websites. These solutions limit the development of YY. On the other hand, when YY Chat is going to develop western users, it is also blocked. Echo who is senior analyst with the Maxim Group says, “If YY tried to expand into the US market, it would be unlikely to succeed.  While it would be difficult for anyone to scale this business model, Western start-ups would have a better chance.” As some other video chat platforms enlarge their users, YY Chat has to consider the issue about replacement by others. Other sides of online video chats Firstly, online video chat platform serve people a more convenient way of life. However, some people use this platform in an unhealthy way that they broadcast sex video and strippers dancing in front of the camera. Such kinds of videos can be easily found that they attract young generations who cannot control themselves well, which probably lead to an unexpected terrible way of life in the future. Secondly, because of the convenience of online video, some people can easily get information from others. They might cheat other’s money as their friends. WangYI website reported that due to 2012, the Internet fraud had reached a number of more than 30 billion RMB in China. Furthermore, some single girls’ safety is threatened because of their “nice” net friends. Now, there are thousands of online video chat platforms. When some big companies attract more and more users, the small companies will disappear some day. However, there are still a lot of chance will be left for these small video chat companies. In the future, live video chat may become the most popular way to communicate with people in distance. Dan Ye, 2013, “YY借力WCG布局赛事直播” from网易website Forbes.

Word of the Day: Nondimensional How often have you used the word nondimensional in a sentence? There are occasions when I might have used it, had I known that was the word for what I was doing. For example, when making calculations that involve physical quantities such as mass, length, time, velocity, and the like, it’s not enough to keep track of the numbers or variables as you calculate, you must also keep track of their units. As students know from bitter experience, it’s easy to confuse, or even lose, units along the way. I remember assignments returned with red ink circling my final result, beside which my teacher had posed the simple question: “Units?” Had I known better, I might have answered that in fact I was employing a technique of mathematical analysis called nondimensionalization in which you deliberately drop the units from equations involving physical quantities. Among its other advantages, this technique can simplify problems. No kidding! It can also, as one MIT professor put it, “eliminate the possibility of reporting nonsense such as the logarithm of a kilogram.” My own acquaintance with this word has humbler origins. This summer I decided to build steps from our deck to the ground. A total drop of just 32 inches. How hard could that be?  Not very. Unless you use nondimensional lumber. I inadvertently made nondimensionality part of my design the moment I had the bright idea to build the steps out of cedar logs lying around on the property, instead of using conventional, dimensional milled lumber. That one bright idea turned what could have been a weekend project into something more elaborate. For in sad contrast to nondimensional analysis, nondimensional lumber does not make calculations easier. Practically speaking, for me nondimensional meant harder to measure, harder to calculate, harder to work with, harder to build. The roundness of the logs, their knottiness, and their continuously changing dimensions helped me appreciate why carpenters call unmilled wood nondimensional lumber. And why that’s not necessarily a compliment. Unlike your milled 2×8, who is a straight, reliable and measured fellow, your natural log is an irresolute, shifty, and dimensionless type who feels no compunction about his rough wavering character, nor gives a damn that his diameter is changing continuously from one end to the other. I first heard of this exotic character—the more exotic for describing something as plain as lumber—the day my neighbor friend dropped off the cedar logs he’d split lengthwise down the middle for me. (He owns a sawmill.) Three of the four halves we unloaded from his truck eventually became my 12-foot-long steps, or treads, as they’re called in the trade. But only after I’d done my dimensional analysis featuring nondimensional lumber, followed by headscratching and more than a little guesswork. Then I knew, roughly, how to size, cut and place the two stringers (the term of art for the logs that support the treads from below) that run from the underside of the deck down to the ground, where they’re fastened to footings set in concrete. After that, there was just the headache of measuring, notching, fitting, then re-measuring, re-notching, and re-fitting, before, finally, leveling and fastening the round (continuously changing) underside of the treads to the round (continuously changing) stringers, so that each step rises exactly 8 inches. The finished treads, with stringers peeking through The finished treads, with stringers peeking through My work wasn’t finished until nearly a month after that day when my friend, a builder by trade, casually dropped nondimensional into the conversation. We’d hauled the treads from his truck to the worksite, and I was asking him what he thought of my design, and what advice he had for me. He looked at me from under his cap, a mischievous smile playing on his lips, and said, “Oh, so you’re gonna use nondimensional lumber. That will make things more interesting, but I’m sure they’ll turn out great. Just keep measuring and figuring, measuring and figuring.” A tip of the hat to my father-in-law, who helped me get the treads on the stringers, and to my father, who helped me measure, mark and stake out the plan.

French: Negatives and using them in the perfect tense, or with infinitives Some bits of grammar about using negatives in various situations, like with past participles or infinitives. I don't think it's something that you would absolutely need to know, just if you are a bit of a grammar geek like myself ;) Sorry for the amount of times I've used the word 'sandwich' in this, literally couldn't think of a better word haha... Enjoy!! HideShow resource information Pages in this set Page 1 Preview of page 1 Just like in English there are many ways in which to express negatives, meaning different things. Here are some examples. French English Example. ne...pas no/not any je n'ai pas de chien ne...rien nothing/not anything je n'ai rien vu ne...que only il n'a qu'un frère neither..nor...not...or je n'ai ni… Page 2 Preview of page 2 Luckily there is a pattern, the same negative expressions which just go around the avoir verb in the perfect tense are the same ones that go before the infinitive in infinitive expressions. 'Sandwich' avoir only, go together 'Sandwich' both avoir and past before infinitive expressions. participle, 'sandwich' infinitives pas aucun(e)… No comments have yet been made Similar French resources: See all French resources »
Do Chinese factory workers have higher cancer rates than those workers in developed nations? I ask because it seems the manufacturing process in China is less well regulated and the workers seemingly would be exposed to more harmful chemicals. 1. 0 Votes Your guess is very accurate. As an average, Chinese workers are indeed frequently exposed to harmful chemicals and dangerous situations. This is because consumers want everything to be as cheap as possible and that means production costs will be cut. For instance, there is evidence that asbestos causes cancer and has therefor been banned in many wealthy countries. Unfortunatly this does not included countries like India and China, who knowingly use asbestos in manufacturing. Because of the lax regulations in poor manufacturing countires like China, pollution is rampent. Airborne and waterborne pollution from factories often drift or flow into nearly villages. Villages near factories have have cancer rates “much higher than the national average” according to many human rights groups. Cancer has been named the leading cause of death; 1 in 5 Chinese will die of cancer. The factory workers themselves may be in the most danger, although exact statistics are hard to come by. The short answer is yes, they absolutely do have higher cancer rates than workers in developed nations. Until these developed nations are willing to pay more for products, production costs will remain as low as possible and human lives will be endangered. Please signup or login to answer this question.
Posted by: r.m. | November 11, 2010 Lebanese merchants say no to regulated food prices Agriculture, Food prices, Merchants, and Government — all intricately connected. And in Lebanon the Merchants openly state their decision to ignore a Governmental ruling regarding elevated food prices. From the excellent Al-Akhbar, once again التجّار يهددون بتقنين السلع المعركة مفتوحة لإبقاء الفوضى في السوق الإستهلاكية في 26 تشرين الأول أصدر وزير الاقتصاد والتجارة محمد الصفدي القرار 196/1 الذي يعيد العمل بالقرار 277/1 الذي يحدّد نسب الأرباح التجارية القصوى على السلع والمنتجات الحيوانية والحبوب والزيوت والسكر والملح والخضرة والفاكهة… قبل أن يبدأ تطبيق النسب بدأ تجار الجملة والمفرّق يعترضون رافضين تطبيق القرار، وملوّحين بتقنين السلع الغذائية في السوق حيناً وتهديد الوزير أحياناً read the article in full here 1. It seems that nowadays people are running behind one thing, which is “Money”. Even almost all friendship relationships are based on individuals interest (or personal benefits). And what individuals are interested for in these days? It is certainly money to heal what is called “their soul” or “their internal feeling”. I call this the unconscious mind or the ego. People are running behind money to say:” I possess, I exist”. And when someone say i possess, this means that he or she has something private. Our society is heading toward a world that is made only from “restrict private lands”(sorry, that is mine. You can not share it or touch it). This is the source of hatered in our world. In these days, no one is thinking about the other. For example, if a certain Lebanese person is really sick and he or she should enter the hospital, he or she will be asked first:” Do you have the X amount of money?” The person is really sick and the hospital is aking about the money at first, instead of asking first:”what is wrong with you?!” Our Country,Lebanon, really needs some strict rules!! Look at the the new law that is being done to regulate speed! There is a camera that watches your speed, and if you break the law, you have to pay “money”. Money, money…. . People are obeying the law to avoid paying money, instead of thinking about the other benefits of slowing down while driving. Lebanese people are behaving like “dogs” (sorry about this word) just to avoid paying money! Here, in Lebanon, merchants are saying no to regulated food prices because they are seeking their personal benefits, without considering the suffer of others. “Why should I suffer? I will let the others suffer”. Certainly, there are no morals behind a logic like this. What these merchants need is a strict rule or law that makes them behave like “dogs”. This rule or law certainly should be related to “money” or to the source of that money. Yes, people nowadays are seeking money, and this is worsening the situation; it is increasing the gap between poor and rich, like postive feedbacks. It is making the poor poorer and the rich richer, and where is the equality (or morals) in that? This is the tyranny of capitalism! Our world need an ethical system, just like the economic one to honor humanity. Progress is not measured only by money, power or the word “I am stronger than you”. Yes, nowadays people are running behind money.They are running behind something that can not actually run behind them in return, and what that is going to have as a real value? Hatered (certainly)… Yes, nowadays people are running behind money. Hopefully, at some point, they will realize that they can not eat the money itself! That’s why one of my favorite quotes is :”The Great thing in this world is not so much where we are , but in what direction we are moving.”- Oliver Wendell Holmes – 2. I agree with you. I was hoping two years ago when the world financial system collapsed that people would be attracted to alternative economic systems. Alas, that initial interest quickly evaporated and people began to accept again the status quo capitalistic system. How can we convince people that other systems are more just? There are some examples being set around the world but I do not think that capitalism will be gone in our lifetime. What really bothers me is how many people regard economic selfishness as an intrinsic part of human nature. This is a fundamental basis in the moral case of those defending capitalism and it seems to go unchallenged all the time unfortunately. 3. Yes, I agree with you too. A miracle is needed about that issue- capitalism- I think, that we have made quite two good responses 🙂 Leave a Reply You are commenting using your account.

Deconstructing Government Word Magic Take a word that describes a natural condition, reassign your own meaning while retaining the original defining aspect of the word. This is how the State manages to brainwash so many people. Example, Law. Gravity is an immutable Law, as are all natural Laws. In the minds of the people, Laws are absolute and therefore can’t be broken or subverted. Make up your own rules, label them Laws, always refer to your rules as Laws and the people will start to believe that your rules are actually immutable laws instead of what they actually are, which is a series of contrived rules given authority by consent. Another Example, Crime. A crime is an act of injustice where there is some form of injured party. The State refers to every breach of it’s rules as a crime, even though there may be no injustice or injured party. So all the State has to do to maintain absolute power is convince enough people that a breach of it’s contrived rules is a crime and the people will not only surrender their free will to the State’s dictates, but even bite the ankles of their fellow man for lack of subservience. Rather than ask if an act is illegal according to government rules, ask: am I causing an injustice where the rights of another is being violated. 5 Questions to ask a Statist Do I have the right (just claim) to impose my will on you without your consent? Do I have the right to delegate such an act to another? Does being part of a majority of people give me the right to impose my will on you without your consent? Do I have the right to impose my will on you without your consent by delegating that act to an institution? Do I have the right to impose my will on you without your consent if I, along with a majority of others, delegate that act to an institution called government? Asking the questions in this order to someone who dogmatically believes in coercive governance may induce cognitive dissonance. Be prepared for emotive responses such as: Libtard, Conspiracy theorist, If you don’t like it move, and the old classic: if you don’t vote you can’t complain.   The Reason Why It’s Important To Speak Up Now First they came for the Whistle Blowers, and I did not speak out— Because I was not a Whistle Blower. Then they came for the Independent Journalists, and I did not speak out— Because I was not an independent Journalist. Then they came for the Activists, and I did not speak out— Because I was not an Activist. An honest Israeli Jew tells the Real Truth about Israel Power without Authority is Tyranny [3] Ibid., page 1324 [4] Ibid., page 133 A Message To The Average Voter Larken Rose explains the inherent flaws in voting that the average voter refuses to acknowledge. “Most of them do not feel bad about that. Many of them even cheer and applaud their “rulers” while defending the crimes they commit.”
Light infantry From Infogalactic: the planetary knowledge core Jump to: navigation, search For other uses, see Light infantry (disambiguation). Portuguese Army light infantry (caçador) of the Peninsular War History of the light Infantry Modern Age Contemporary Light Infantry Forces Today the term "light" denotes, in the United States table of organization and equipment, units lacking heavy weapons and armor or with a reduced vehicle footprint. Light infantry units lack the greater firepower, operational mobility and protection of mechanized or armored units, but possess greater tactical mobility and the ability to execute missions in severely restrictive terrain and in areas where weather makes vehicular mobility difficult. Light infantry forces typically rely on their ability to operate under restrictive conditions, surprise, violence of action, training, stealth, field craft, and fitness levels of the individual soldiers to address their reduced lethality. Despite the usage of the term "light", forces in a light unit will normally carry heavier individual loads versus other forces; they must carry everything they require to fight, survive and win due to lack of vehicles. Although units like the 101st Airborne (Air Assault) and the 82nd Airborne Division are categorized as Air Assault Infantry and Airborne Infantry respectively, they fall under the overall concept of light infantry. During the Falklands War in 1982, both Argentina and the United Kingdom made heavy use of light infantry and its doctrines during the campaign, most notably the Argentine 5th Naval Infantry Battalion (Argentina) and 25th Infantry Regiment (Argentina) and the British Parachute Regiment and Royal Marines of 3 Commando Brigade. Due to the rocky and mountainous terrain of the Falkland Islands, operations on the ground were only made possible with the use of light infantry because the use of mechanized infantry or armour was severely limited by of the terrain, leading to the "Yomp" across the Falklands, in which Royal Marines and Paras yomped (and tabbed) with their equipment across the islands, covering 56 miles (90 km) in three days carrying 80-pound (36 kg) loads after disembarking from ships at San Carlos on East Falkland, on 21 May 1982. During the 1990s, the concept of purely light forces in the US military came under scrutiny due to their decreased lethality and survivability. This scrutiny has resulted in the Stryker Brigade Combat Team, a greater focus on task organized units (such as Marine Expeditionary Units) and a reduction of purely light forces. Modern Light Infantry Units Light Infantry in Different Countries The 7 battalions are composed of: • Two battalions of mechanized infantry • Two battalions of motorized infantry • Two battalions of light infantry • One battalion of paratroop infantry Main article: Jægerkorpset Chasseurs from a light infantry regiment of Napoléon's Grande Armée The light infantry was organised in France in the 1. Ancient régime The name Chasseurs à pied (light infantry) was originally used for infantry units in the French Army recruited from hunters or woodsmen. Recognized for their marksmanship and skirmishing skills, the chasseurs were comparable to the German Jäger or the British light infantry. The Chasseurs à Pied, as the marksmen of the French army, were regarded as elite light companies and regiments.[2] The first unit was Jean Chrétien Fischer's Free Hunter Company in 1743. These units were often a mix of cavalry and infantry. In 1776 all the Chasseurs units were re-organized in six battalions, each one linked to a cavalry regiment (Chasseurs à cheval). In 1788, the special link between infantry battalions and cavalry regiment was broken. Revolution and Napoleon In 1793, the Ancient Régime Chasseurs battalions were merged with volunteers battalions in new units called Light Infantry Half-Brigades (demi-brigades d’infanterie légère). In 1803, the half-brigades were rebranded regiment. These units had three battalions of three regular Chasseurs companies, one elite Carabiniers company and one reconnaissance voltigeurs company. Imperial Guard In Napoléon’s IImperial Guard, many units used names linked to light infantry : • Chasseurs à pied regiments : three regiments (1809-1815 ; 1815-1815 ; 1815-1815). The regiments were the elite of the light infantry regiments. • Fusilier-Chasseurs regiment : originally the first Guard Fusilier Regiment (1809-1815) • Voltigeurs regiments : 16 regiments, originally two regiments of Tirailleurs-chasseur and two regiments of Conscrits-chasseurs (1810-1815), then twelve new regiments (1811-1815). These regiments were expected to became Chasseurs à pieds regiments. • Flanqueurs-Chasseurs regiments : two regiments, from drafted Forest Service members (1811-1815 ; 1813-1815) XIXth Century Light Infantry The Napoléon-type Light Infantry regiment existed till 1854, but with very few differences from the line infantry regiment, so the 25 remaining light infantry regiments were transformed in line infantry in 1854. Chasseurs à pied The Duke of Orléans, heir to the throne, created in 1838 a new light infantry unit, the Tirailleurs battalion. It soon became, under the name Chasseur à Pied, the main light infantry unit in the French Army. The number of battalions grew up steadily through the century. The current Chasseurs battalions drew their lineage form this unit. Chasseurs alpins Some of Chasseurs à pied battalions were converted to specialized mountain units as Bataillons de Chasseurs Alpins in 1888, as an answer to the Italian Alpine (Alpini) regiments stationed along the Alpine frontier. Chasseurs Forestiers The Chasseurs forestiers (Forest Huntsmen) were militarized units of the Forest Service. They were organized in companies. The Chasseurs forestiers existed between 1875 and 1924. The Zouaves battalions and regiments were colonial troops, formed originally by Algerians, then by European settlers and colonists. The first Zouave battalion was created in 1831 and changed its recruiting to Europeans in 1841. Tirailleurs (Skirmishers) were light infantry who formed a shallow line ahead of the line of battle during the Revolutionary/Napoleonic Wars and subsequently. The name was also used for the locally recruited colonial troops in the French Empire between 1841 and 1962. XXth Century Chasseurs à pied The Chasseurs à pieds evolved during the mid-XXth century into mechanized infantry units (Chasseurs mécanisés) or armored division infantry (chasseurs portés). After World War Two, all Chasseur units were organized on the mechanized infantry model. Chasseurs alpins The Chasseurs alpins' became the only mountain warfare units in the French Army in 1945. Chasseurs pyrénéens The Chasseurs pyrénéens were the short-lived (1939-1940) mountain warfare units formed in the Pyrénées. The Chasseurs-parachutistes were airborne infantry units formed in 1943 from Air Force infantry compagnies transferred to the Army. Zouaves and Tirailleurs' After the independence of the countries that made up the French Colonial Empire, the Zouaves and the Tirailleurs units, save for one, were disbanded. Modern French Army Light Infantry Although the traditions of these different branches of the French Army are very different, there is still a tendency to confuse one with the other. For example, when World War I veteran Léon Weil died, the AFP press agency stated that he was a member of the 5th "Regiment de Chasseurs Alpins". It was in fact the 5th Bataillon. Main article: Jäger (military) Of the 28 Infantry regiment of the modern Indian Army, the following 10 are designated as "Rifles". They are distinguished by their black rank badges, black buttons on their service and ceremonial uniforms and also a beret which is a darker shade of green than the other regiments. Apart from these two paramilitary forces: the Assam Rifles and the Eastern Frontier Rifles, also follows the traditions of the rifle regiment. Rajputana Rifles Garhwal Rifles Jammu and Kashmir Rifles 1st Gorkha Rifles (The Malaun Regiment) 3 Gorkha Rifles 4 Gorkha Rifles 5 Gorkha Rifles (Frontier Force) 8 Gorkha Rifles 9 Gorkha Rifles 11 Gorkha Rifles Basic training ("Tironut"): • Non-combat soldiers are trained as Rifleman 02. • Combat-support troops are trained as Rifleman 03. Advance training ("Imun Mitkadem"): Additional training for combat soldiers: • Combat class commanders are trained as Rifleman 08. • Combat Senior Sergeants are trained as Rifleman 10. • Combat officers are trained as Rifleman 12. Italian Rifle units were designated Cacciatori or Bersaglieri. The Netherlands Main article: Caçadores In the 1950s, the title "Caçadores" was also given to the light infantry battalions and independent companies responsible for garrisoning the Portuguese overseas territories. Colonial troops with this title were recruited from both Portuguese settlers and from the indigenous populations in each overseas territory. In 1975, the designation "Caçadores" was discontinued in the Portuguese Armed Forces. All former units of caçadores were redesigned as "Infantry". The Rhodesia Regiment had an affiliation with the King's Royal Rifle Corps since World War I. The regiment's badge was the Maltese Cross, the colours were red, black and rifle green and rifle green berets were worn. A private soldier had the title of "Rifleman". • Vânători de Munte, or "Mountain Huntsmen" comprised elite units of the Romanian infantry prior to 1945. The Imperial Russian Army, which was heavily influenced by the Prussian and Austrian military systems, included fifty Jäger or yegerskii [егерский] regiments in its organisation by 1812, including the Egersky Guards Regiment. These regiments were disbanded in 1917-18. Spanish Riflemen were designated as Cazadores. United Kingdom A historical reenactment with the British 95th Rifles regiment. The rank of Rifleman instead of Private was officially introduced in 1923.[3] United States In 1808, the United States Army created its first Regiment of Riflemen. During the War of 1812 three more Rifle Regiments were raised but disbanded after the war. The Rifle Regiment was disbanded in 1821. Riflemen were listed as separate to infantry up to the American Civil War.[4] References and notes 3. "About the Royal Green Jackets". Retrieved 6 June 2011.  Further reading External links
One of the best perks of a solar system is having the ability to monitor your system’s energy production. Property owners can see in real-time the productivity on a daily, monthly, and annual basis. What makes monitoring such an important factor of a solar home or business is having the cabability to track how thesystem is generating solar power in relation to the energy that’s coming from the utility company. It’s a great tool to visualize your electricity offset between the two. Here are some key factors you should know about solar monitoring: 1. Is monitoring included 2. When and how is it installed 3. How do I know what my system is reporting Before you understand more about the monitoring, it’s best to learn about the various types of monitoring. Types of Monitoring The type of monitoring will be determined by the type of inverter that’s been installed. An inverter is much like control center; gathering data, converting the electric signal, and distributing the energy to your property’s main electric panel box. A standard string/central inverter will have monitoring capability directly inside the inverter box that’s attached by the electric box while an inverter with optimizers and microinverters provides monitoring access via internet. In this blog, I will discuss monitoring with optimizer and microinverter systems. Monitoring Access If you have SolarEdge with Optimizer Inverter or Enphase, access your monitoring system portal here. 1. Is Monitoring Included As a property owner with a solar system, there’s really no reason to not have monitoring included with an installation. It goes hand-in-hand with solar. There’s no additional cost to a solar system with monitoring and will always be accessible 365/24/7. 2. When And How Is Monitoring Installed Intergrating monitoring with the soalr system will depend on the type of inverter. For an inverter with optimizers, monitoring will be installed directly after the system has been installed on the property. Microinverter systems on the other hand are installed after the system is officially turned on by the utility. A small wireless or ethernet device will be connected to the home’s or business’s internet connection to allow the inverter to send its production data through manufacturer’s online portal to which you will have log-in account to gain access. Monitoring is accessible via desktop, tablet, and smartphone app. 3. Knowing What The Solar System is Reporting As you monitor your solar system, it’s important to be educated on what you see. The goal is to ensure that the system’s production is at or above what was guaranteed annually. Production will vary when tracking its results. The time of year, weather, clouds, the sun’s orientation and angle in the sky do determine your production for that day. Also, shading from roofing ventilation pipes, an HVAC unit, chimney, and tree branches will fluctuate production for the panels that may be effected by such obstructions. There also may be times when no production is being reported. If the property’s internet connection has been tampered with or changed, such as being moved or unplugged after the monitoring has been installed to the system, this will reset the data connection and no production report will be available. Nevertheless, having the support you need is most important of all. Whenever any questions arise about the system and how it’s reporting production, it’s crucial to get immediate response and assistance to bring resolve to a concern to ensure that your solar system is bringing optimal solar energy to your home or business. We do get common questions from homeowners asking about their monitoring and what it all means. For example questions asking why they see dramatic fluctuations with their system’s production. Solar panels produce energy based on certain factors such as time of day, time of season, any shading, and temperature. Also, at times the panels may actually over produce more of wattage than they are originally designed to. Daily data may present some inaccuracies and fluctuations to the production reports so we suggest homeowners to track and manage their solar monthly, quarterly, and annually. Because the monitoring details can be accessed only via online, the home will need an to have internet connection so the inverter can send solar data to the homeowner. If for some reason, there’s no monitoring being displayed, that means that the inverter has lost connection with the home’s internet signal. But if was to happen, it doesn’t mean your solar system is not working. The system is still functioning at a 100%, it’s the details that are not be displayed in the monitoring portal. When such issues occur, LA Solar Group ensures that we’re on top of it and will repair or readjust setting to bring the monitoring back online. Because we guarantee production with our warranty, we understand it’s important to for homeowners to manage their solar. What we do is set a specific threshold for the production so we can make sure that the system doesn’t under produce. The failure rate for a solar system a 0.01% which is close to nothing. Failure rate for a solar panel is .022%. This is why manufactures stand behind their production and product warranties. 4. Software updates Software updates for the inverter and gateway monitoring device are run during weekends. If you notice on your monitoring portal that the inverter is offline over the weekend it is most likely due to the software update. The system will be back online by Monday and if it is not or if the monitoring system is offline for more than 72 hours please make a service ticket request on our website. Communication issues with the inverter and monitoring system usually resolve themselves.
Always Providing You With Ongoing Information Posts tagged ‘Tor’ New Firefox Exploit Can Expose Tor Users The exploit was delivered through a Tor mailing list that when opened could unveil the MAC address and possibly even the IP address of a user running Tor Browser on Firefox. Researcher Joshua Yabut said it is “100 percent effective for remote code execution on Windows systems, versions 41 to 50 of Firefox are reportedly affected.” A representative of Mozilla said officials are aware of the vulnerability and are working on a fix. While the vulnerability was already being actively exploited, the publication of the complete source code now puts it in the hands of a much wider base of people. Until a patch is available, Firefox users should use an alternate browser whenever possible, or disable JavaScript on as many sites as possible. People should avoid relying on Tor in cases where deanonymizing attacks could pose a significant threat. Tor users can also disable JavaScript, but turning it off goes against the official Tor recommendations. Turkish Internet Users Running To Tor Turkish internet users are flocking to Tor, the anonymizing and censorship-circumvention tool, after Turkey’s government block Twitter, Facebook, and YouTube. Usage of Tor inside of Turkey went up from around 18,000 users to 25,000 users on Friday, when the government started blocking the popular social media networks, according to Tor’s official metrics.  The Turkish information technologies and communications authority, or BTK, ordered internet providers in the country to block Tor and several other censorship-circumvention Virtual Private Networks or VPNs, such as VPN Master, Hotspot Shield A Warrant For A Tor User? The past few months, judges, defense lawyers, and the government have been fighting over whether obtaining a Tor user’s real IP address, perhaps through hacking, counts as a search under the Fourth Amendment. The debate has serious consequences for whether law enforcement requires a warrant to break into a suspect’s computer, even if it’s only to learn the target’s IP address. US District Court Judge Robert W Pratt argued that when the FBI hacked suspected Playpen users and grabbed their IP addresses, that constituted a search. He stated “If a defendant writes his IP address on a piece of paper and places it in a drawer in his home, there would be no question that law enforcement would need a warrant to access that piece of paper—even accepting that the defendant had no reasonable expectation of privacy in the IP address itself,” Pratt writes in his order. Judges are divided over whether obtaining the IP addresses in this way constitutes a search, and whether Tor users have a reasonable expectation of privacy around their real IP address. Riffle- More Secure Anonymity Than TOR Tor — has prompted computer scientists to try to come up with more secure anonymity schemes. At the Privacy Enhancing Technologies Symposium in July, researchers at MIT’s Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory and the École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne will present a new anonymity scheme that provides strong security guarantees but uses bandwidth much more efficiently than its predecessors. The system is devised by Albert Kwon and his coauthors — his advisor, Srini Devadas, the Edwin Sibley Webster Professor of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science at MIT; David Lazar, also a graduate student in electrical engineering and computer science; and Bryan Ford SM ’02 PhD ’08, an associate professor of computer and communication sciences at the École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne — employs several existing cryptographic techniques but combines them in a novel manner. The system is a series of servers called a mixnet. Each server permutes the order in which it receives messages before passing them on to the next. If, for instance, messages from senders Alice, Bob, and Carol reach the first server in the order A, B, C, that server would send them to the second server in a different order — say, C, B, A. The second server would permute them before sending them to the third, and so on. An adversary that had tracked the messages’ points of origin would have no idea which was which by the time they exited the last server. It’s this reshuffling of the messages that gives the new system its name: Riffle. Riffle also uses a technique known as onion encryption; “Tor,” for instance, is an acronym for “the onion router.” With onion encryption, the sending computer wraps each message in several layers of encryption, using a public-key encryption system like those that safeguard most financial transactions online. Each server in the mixnet removes only one layer of encryption, so that only the last server knows a message’s ultimate destination. To thwart message tampering, Riffle uses a technique called a verifiable shuffle. Because of the onion encryption, the messages that each server forwards look nothing like the ones it receives; it has peeled off a layer of encryption. But the encryption can be done in such a way that the server can generate a mathematical proof that the messages it sends are valid manipulations of the ones it receives. Mixnets has been around for awhile, but unfortunately it’s always relied on public-key cryptography and on public-key techniques, and has been expensive. Whats different about this research is that it reveals how to  use more efficient symmetric-key techniques to accomplish the same thing. They do one expensive shuffle using known protocols, but then they bootstrap off of that to enable many subsequent shufflings. There’s no plan to commercialize Riffle, either, nor will it be a replacement for Tor, even though it does some things vastly better. Tiny New Hampshire Library Fights Government Surveillence white sailor suit_001.png7_001 A tiny  library in New Hampshire promotes privacy and fights government surveillance—to the dismay of law enforcement.  The Kilton Public Library in Lebanon NH, a city of 13,000, last year became the nation’s first library to use Tor, software that masks the location and identity of internet users, in a pilot project initiated by the Cambridge, Massachusetts-based Library Freedom Project. Users the world can have their searches randomly routed through the library. Computers that have Tor loaded on them bounce internet searches through a random pathway, or series of relays, of other computers equipped with Tor. This network of virtual tunnels masks the location and internet protocol address of the person doing the search. What makes the Kilton  Public Library unique among  other U.S. libraries, it also has a computer with a Tor exit relay, which delivers the internet query to the destination site and becomes identified as the last-known source of the query. Founder & Director of the Library Freedom Project, said her organization chose Kilton for its pilot project because it had embraced other privacy-enhancing software the project recommended and because she knew the library had the know-how take it to the complicated exit-relay stage. What can Tor Do? The Tor Project is funded largely by the U.S. State Department and other federal agencies, yet the Department of Homeland Security rejects the idea of its use by civilians because it can be used to mask criminal activity. Local police, at the behest of Homeland Security’s Boston bureau, asked the Kilton library last July to stop using Tor. Its use was suspended until the library board voted unanimously at a standing-room-only meeting in September to maintain the Tor relay. Tag Cloud %d bloggers like this:
Music, Arts & Culture » Music School for Soul Numero Group's 'database of weirdness' now includes kids' songs There is no record label in the country today reissuing decades-old soul recordings with more avidity, frequency and sense for archaeology than the Numero Group, an academic and semi-mysterious company possessing the secret added ingredient of impeccable taste. While soul and funk reissue labels have flourished since the turn of the millennium, many of them, particularly of the highly elastic "heavy funk" or "northern soul" persuasion, are perfect examples of curators who confuse mediocrity with authenticity. The Numero Group got off on a similar foot, focusing on arcane recordings from the Capsoul and Bandit labels, which at best were historical facsimiles (the sounds of copied sounds) and at worst, painful to listen to (poorly recorded a cappella tracks). But then the Numero Group took a vacation to Belize, which most Americans know as a trendy and inexpensive getaway offering empty beaches, scuba diving and, if you know where to look, cheap blow. Who could have guessed that there was such a rich musical legacy down there? The unearthed music from Belize City Boil Up, released early this year, runs the gamut, covering funk, soul, reggae, calypso and highlife, all with a hard-to-define Belizean twist that is as peculiar as it is intoxicating. Next came the label's foray to the Bahamas, which produced the incredible Grand Bahama Goombay, the gold star of the label's work so far. Outputted from a single studio on the island, the tracks envelop everything attractive about music: rhythm, politics, love, sex and poetry, all done in such an innocent, unaffected fashion that you almost feel guilty listening to it, like traipsing uninvited into a private party. But by providing extensive liner notes and reproduced cover art from the original Bahaman albums, the Numero Group essentially shoves the invitation into your hands. The latest addition to the label's catalogue is Home Schooled: The Sound of Kid Soul, which revisits American shores by spotlighting the attempts of grade-school children to capitalize on the Jackson 5's 1970 breakthrough success. Most of these recordings were masterminded by overzealous parents, but it's clear that the kids of Home Schooled are the ones in charge. The songs are largely sweet and unrefined, as in the particular case of the sublime and otherworldly "Time After Time" by a group of forgotten Milwaukee brothers called Step by Step, though other tracks flirt with youth empowerment, like the leadoff track "Trust Your Child" and the campy "Now That School Is Through" by a group called Cindy and the Playmates. How did all of this great music come to suddenly see the light of day with proper licensing, royalties and historical perspective? Ken Shipley, head of the Numero Group, credits the curiosity of his small group of record-collector friends, who for purely personal reasons had taken to tracking down the original artists of obscure 45s that they had collectively discovered, pored over and fallen in love with. "I figured that as long as we're finding these people," Shipley says from his Chicago office, "why don't we document what we're doing?" Part hoarder, part musicologist, part detective, Shipley as a child collected baseball cards and comic books and, more obsessively, G.I. Joes and Transformers (he still boasts owning complete sets of both). Coming of age in the early '90s San Jose punk scene, he started collecting records, booking shows and running a small indie label, all by the age of 18. Around 10 years ago, Shipley discovered soul music, particularly of the unknown, thrift-store, what-the-hell-is-this variety, and after a stint at reissue label Rykodisc, he finally launched his dream label in Chicago. Right next to the Jackson 5's hometown of Gary, Ind., there's possibly no better city in which to compile the kid-group sounds of Home Schooled. "The Jackson 5 actually set off something pretty important," Shipley emphasizes. "When you think about the Jackson 5, you think, 'OK, there might have been a couple other groups, like the Osmonds.' But you don't realize that hundreds and hundreds of groups were set off! People were really trying to ride this phenomenon." The obstacles involved in finding now-grown singers on records made 30 years ago are myriad. The children of famed organist Merl Saunders, who contribute to Home Schooled a psychedelic, black-power jam in "Right On," were relatively easy to locate. But the adults often retained the rights, and in some cases, like the Three Simmons' playfully innocent "You Are My Dream (School Time)," the copyright holders turned out to be drug-smuggling criminals using record production as a tax shelter. "Here's the real rub with the record: we were only able to find half the actual kids," Shipley says. "Like the Atons, for instance—nobody knows who that group is. Nobody knows who the Triads are. But these producers, they were just pumping kid groups out. They were like, 'You got some kids? All right, let's throw these three kids in the studio and see what happens.'" Another problem Shipley faced was the Embarrassing Childhood Photos factor. The Eight Minutes' Wendell Sudduth was easy to find—he still lives in Chicago—but nearly impossible to convince that reissuing his group's killer track "Here's Some Dances" was a good idea. "A lot of this stuff, it isn't a positive note for most people," Shipley admits. "When they think about this stuff, they don't think, 'This is exactly how I want to be viewed in my life.'" The Numero Group makes deluxe packaging, especially for vinyl releases, which always include extra tracks, heavy gatefolds, inner sleeves and full-color illustrated liner notes. There's a cohesion of style in the label's design, inspired by the matching spines of Impulse Records and Jim Thompson's crime books, and a variety of projects on deck for the future (this year's Ladies of the Canyon explores unknown female singers from the era of Joni Mitchell's Blue, which Shipley cites as his favorite album). But the biggest task, always at hand, is the musical detective work, the Indiana Jones&–like passion for discovery. Shipley knows that even the tiniest clues from seemingly insignificant people can lead to goldmines, like the box of original tapes from long-lost soul singer Helene Smith that he listens to in the background during our interview, which he recently rescued from someone's ex-wife's basement in Miami, or the singers in the Bahamas who opened the nooks and crannies of their archives and shared every minute detail of their lives with him for Grand Bahama Goombay. "If you keep cataloguing it and cataloguing it," Shipley says, referring to his reams of notes and boxes of old photos, "you get a real database of weirdness." Add a comment
Falling Into The Digital Black Hole With #de_VICE In this day and age, social skills are not to be taken for granted. And when I say "social skills" I mean live, person-to-person interaction that requires actual eye contact and communication that happens more than 140 characters at a time and does not involve emotocons. One of my biggest pet peeves is when I see people falling into the digital black hole. It's not an infrequent occurrence, you find it every time you see people seated at a table—their eyes glazed over and their noses pressed to their smartphone screens—completely ignoring the other people around them. You see it when someone is so busy mucking around on their phone as they walk down the street that they keep nearly walking into people. It happens every time someone interrupts a conversation because they want to check out something on Twitter. It's seen whenever someone is so busy yapping away as they wait in line or even stand at a counter that complete strangers know way, way too much about their love lives and they can't even do what they came in for. Basically they are all examples of people letting everyone else know they are not as important or valued as whatever is happening on their glowing screens. Apparently, I'm not alone on my soapbox. Atlanta-based photographer Zack Arias has come up with his #de_VICE series—a collection of images illustrating our culture's obsession with everything digital. Check out a selection of the series at CNN.com.
Teeth grinding and snoring Teeth grinding and Snoring I am amazed at how many people grind their teeth and are recommended to use mouth guards at night. That’s not my idea of a sexy evening! Now, it could be there is a problem with teeth alignment and a guard is needed, fair enough. On the other hand stress plays a big part in this. Tension in the body is commonly stored in shoulders, neck and jaw. When jaw muscles tighten up they clamp your teeth and the behaviour of grinding starts. Teeth grinding can lead to worn and broken teeth, aching, clicky and even broken jaws, and certainly to huge dental bills. How do you know you grind your teeth? Well, some people don’t know until their dentist tells them their teeth are worn. Others are heard by their partners, while others have sore and aching jaws the next day. Some people clamp and grind during the day. Many, many people do it. There are all sorts of treatments, including mouth guards. Some people get regular botox to release the tension in the muscles, others take tablets, plug their noses, and I am sure there are plenty of old wives tales and interesting things on pharmacy shelves. If you grind here is something to consider immediately.  What is going on in your life? Is there, or has there been, something you are angry or frustrated about? Are you worried?  Uncertain work, money and relationship problems can be creating tension in your jaw. You may be completely unaware why. It is wise to come and get it checked out and healed before spending any sums on treatment that may be only a patch. Those coming to see me to release jaw tension start with hypnotherapy to relax the muscles, a habit change which makes them aware of when they grind so they immediately loosen up, whether asleep or awake. The next session is an EFT tapping session looking for stress and releasing it. Should there be a deeper causal issue this will be addressed next, and the last session consolidates all. There is a real sense of letting go, a real relief, resulting from this process. No more grinding. In fact, lots of other muscles relaxed at the same time. Perhaps quite a saving on dental procedures. Snoring is an interesting one. Many people snore and don’t realise it. Their partners, though, are quite aware of it and get fed up having to put up with the noise. Some even move to another bed. Everyone has the right to sleep properly so we need to get the snorers being more aware of when they start and turning themselves over, breathing better, losing weight stopping smoking, or going easier on the alcohol. Yes, all these things influence snoring.  Send them along for some help, it will make all the difference to them and benefit the whole family.

Thursday, February 27, 2014 the Junians Monday, February 17, 2014 the Athomians Athomian lives are rigidly dictated by social status, measured by both strength and artistic talent. Athomians are presumed to be descended from the Noblei, as their clans migrated north along with the Junians and the Eldragoths. Their society spread further north following the last Turning. Forced to compete with the Beastmen of the northern hills and plains, they have become fiercely barbaric and truly anarchic. Athomians do not have a traditional family structure, nor do they perform weddings. When Athomians have children they form families that last only until the child, or children, are capable of taking care of themselves. However, they are not as divided as outsiders believe them to be, there is little to no rivalry between clans. Conflicts are always resolved by individual warriors, and clan members respect the outcome of the battle or contest. Athomians are rarely encountered as single individuals. Outcasts from the Athomian clans are scarred or branded in some way so that other Athomians will know them and reject them as well. The most important thing to an Athomian is their place in the clan. To be cast out is to be dead in the eyes of their goddess, because of this many outcasts would rather commit suicide than try to integrate into other cultures. Athomians value both skill with a weapon and artistic ability. The leader of a clan is often both the best fighter and the one who spends most of their time working a trade for the benefit or glory of the clan. Athomians have perfected the art of swordfighting, as well as swordmaking. Their intricate but sturdy weapons are highly prized and sought after. Disputes that are not settled by dueling are resolved by a comparison of talent by the two opponents, this usually entails both parties forging a sword and allowing other members of the clan to inspect them, but it can also involve skills as decorative as embroidery or as practical as woodworking. An Athomian always keeps their personal equipment immaculately clean and weapons are kept perfectly maintained and oiled. Athomians prefer to wear vivid colors that many consider unpleasant, such as vibrant orange, bright green, and deep purple. They will also tattoo their entire bodies in these colors. Paradoxically, their grooming habits are awful and their focus on outward appearance means they are actually very dirty and unkempt, and many jokes have been made about how their awful color coordination cannot mask their awful body odor. Athomians do not prize bodily hygiene as much as their fashion sense or a perfectly balanced blade. Every clan worships the same vicious and secretive goddess. Her name is never revealed to outsiders, and she grants power to a very select few. Sacrifices to her are common among all Athomian clans. The formal rituals and ceremonies performed in her esoteric name last for hours and sometimes climax in a brutal death, of a member of the clan if an outsider hasn't been acquired. Friday, February 14, 2014 the Eldragoths The Eldragoths represent a competitive culture that exalted fighting, but they have turned their savagery inward and suffered as a result. The Eldragoths are the poorest of the five major human cultures, and also the most savage. Their society spread to the far north following the last Turning, and rather than compete with Athomians and Beastmen for resources they fell into raiding and pillaging most of the settlements they encountered. The Eldragoths are a divided people, clustered together into nomadic tribes that will hunt game in one area until the population withers, then forced to move on to more populous lands. Whole tribes frequently compete with other Eldragoth tribes for the best resources. A single Eldragoth, either an outcast or one who was dislodged from a role of command, will often fight as a mercenary for other races. The most important thing to an Eldragoth is food, and if fighting for gold or silver brings them food than that is what they do, even though they disdain the use of money as a sign of weakness. Might makes right in their eyes, and the leader is always the strongest of the tribe. He or she may take whatever they like from the weaker members of the tribe, including life and property. All forms of disputes, as mundane as personal grudges or as inevitable as challenges to leadership, are settled by contests of physical strength - usually fights - and serious grievances involve bloody and prolonged fistfights that don't end until an opponent is bludgeoned to death. Eldragoths always prefer to fight with their fists and they disdain large weaponry, an Eldragoth will never use a weapon to kill another Eldragoth, even in a tribal conflict. But outsiders should always be wary as Eldragoths have no disdain for picking up knives or bows to slay outsiders. An Eldragoth with a knife is a foe to be feared! Anyone who is unable to fight or hunt is considered useless and will become an outcast. One who fights and loses is not considered dishonorable, but just of a lower station than one who wins. The children of these Eldragoth tribes learn how to fight at an early age, or they die. A few tribes will abandon their weaker children, these few usually become slaves to other tribes, or in worse cases become victims of the Beastmen. No single tribe worships a god or pantheon of deities, but each seems to have their own form of religion revolving around the worship of nature spirits. These spirits often have elaborate names that are never pronounced the same way twice. The spirits across various tribes all have one thing in common, they respond to blood. The greater the sacrifice of blood, the greater the boon. Eldragoths have spread out farther from the northern plains, and have not localized to one area for at least 140 years. Some tribes are spotted as far west as the Black Plateau. They hunt anything with meat on it, and it is an acknowledged fact that a few tribes have turned to cannibalism, willing to hunt other humans or dwarves when food is scarce. They don't ever seem to eat each other, just as they don't kill each other. An important facet of Eldragoth culture that must be remembered by anybody who wishes to hire one as a bodyguard or soldier. Tuesday, February 11, 2014 promoting kickstarters for a change I usually only post about kickstarters when I'm complaining about their tardiness. I've grown really selective with what I invest my money into, and recently a few projects have come up that are really cool and I want to see them succeed. LotFP Free RPG Day 2014 (left image is the cover for Doom Cave of the Crystal-Headed Children, art by Gennifer Bone; right image is the cover for World of the Lost by Rafael Chandler, art by Malcolm McClinton) He's cutting it close to the wire to release for Free RPG Day this year, but I could see James Raggi doing a funding project like this every year now. I'm expecting the next project he throws up might be a "LotFP Free RPG Day 2015" project, and I would back that one too because I've only ever been disappointed by one of Raggi's projects (and it's one I never hear people talking about). This project is particularly interesting because it's set up to put some responsibility into the hands of the donor, you have to email James to tell him what rewards you want. One of the rewards is an adventure written by Rafael Chandler and the only way it will ever be published is through this campaign! The Islands of Purple-Haunted Putrescence (an OSR module) (art by Faustie) A modest little kickstarter campaign from an accomplished self-publisher and a gamer in my neck of the woods. Seriously, he lives about 5 minutes away from me. He and I have the same haunts though we've never played a game together. I'd like to see him succeed both because he's a local and judging from his work we have similar tastes. I'm not sure where he comes up with his titles but I wish I had that same level of crazy creativity. Darkest Dungeon I think anybody who is an OSR gamer will want to take a look at this one even though it's a video game. I've been on their mailing list for a couple of months now and I knew this kickstarter campaign was coming. After one day of being live they're already very close to funding, because it's a video game I expect feature creep to potentially be an issue but this is one game that I would love to see hit some stretch goals. And that's it. Go forth and spend some of your money to help make these projects happen and get cool games in return! Friday, February 7, 2014 monster: the Quilid the Quilid This long furry, serpentine creature has thick, sharp spines all along it's segmented body. It has short legs ending in suction-cups along every part of it's body allowing it to crawl along walls and ceiling. It is constantly hungry and attacks by trying to devour the nearest, most magical target. It seems to crave a spellcaster's flesh!

They are larger than the average human at full maturity, but their torso is fragile and spindly. Their muscles are thin and lithe. Orsects have underdeveloped retractable wings that lie under a carapace, they can glide short distances and even hover momentarily, but the wings are too frail to support their size for long. Orsects can crawl along walls and ceilings, and their faces have large venomous fangs reminiscent of a spider's cephalothorax. Their chitinous skin often has stocks of black or brown hair sticking out between the plates.

The feature of the partial success is most illustrative with the "acting under fire" move. "Acting under fire" is trying to do something that requires unusual discipline or concentration or with reserves of willpower or under threat of violence or something like that. AW hacks have reinterpreted this move as "Defy Danger" "Act Under Pressure" "Strive Against Peril" etc. When you "act under fire" and you get the partial success, it specifically states that the MC (the GM) might offer you a worse outcome, an ugly choice or a hard bargain. The rulebook implies that the MC should pick one and offer it as the result, but during play this usually comes down to more than one option offered to the player who then chooses which result occurs. Worse Outcome. Ugly Choice. Hard Bargain. It sounds like three things, but it's actually four. Let me give you a few examples to illustrate this: We're going to follow Cyril for a bit. He's a bit of an untalented goon with no real skills to speak of, but he's got a knack for being in the right place at the right time and he's got a tongue that's as sharp as a cleaver. One big thing he has going for himself is that he's a Hocus, so he's got his own personal cult of about 15 devotees who worship him, hang on his every word, and follow him around like lost puppy dogs. A biker gang is moving through the town where Cyril preaches to his flock and before they leave town they've decided to have a little fun. The gang's leader is trying to lasso Cyril with an old plastic rope that looks hand woven. When Cyril tries to escape he's acting under fire and rolls a 9. The MC can offer... • a worse outcome: Cyril will take 4 harm as he runs into another biker and gets knocked down to the ground, unconscious, but he will get left alone afterward as the gang laughs their asses off in the assumption that he got accidentally killed. • an ugly choice: Cyril will dive through a window, taking 2 harm, and escape through the back of the building losing sight of the gang and his followers, or get away down an alleyway but drop something important/valuable, like the wrought iron staff that he uses to focus his followers' attention during his sermons. • a hard bargain: Cyril will get away, but his loyal followers will definitely not avoid the gang's attention. Cyril takes the hard bargain and gets away, his followers are not so lucky. The MC gauges from the gang's size (small) and harm (3) that Cyril will lose 4 of his followers to the gang, 2 of them are killed and 2 of them are kidnapped. The gang makes camp in a grassy ravine near town and Cyril, upon learning that 2 of his flock have been kidnapped, decides to sneak into their camp to liberate them. The closest thing to a sneak move in Apocalypse World is acting under fire so that's what Cyril is doing, and he rolls a 9 again. The MC offers... • a worse outcome: Cyril is caught and captured, but not harmed, by the gang. • an ugly choice: Cyril was followed by some of his enthusiastic cultists and they get caught but the distraction will allow him to sneak in undetected, or Cyril is spotted by the camp lookout and gets shot, taking 3 harm, but his enthusiastic followers make it into the camp from his distraction. • a hard bargain: Cyril sneaks in, but his kidnapped followers have been tortured and killed and there's nothing he can do for them now. Cyril takes the ugly choice this time and tells the MC that his enthusiastic followers get caught. The MC declares them dead, but Cyril is in the camp and his other followers who were kidnapped are there, and relatively unharmed. The MC declares that the whole gang's encampment is now on high alert, it's going to be pretty tough sneaking out of here so Cyril is going to need to do something tricky to get his kidnapped followers to safety. Cyril is now keenly aware that 4 of his people got killed today and he might get 2 more killed, he's resolved not to let anybody else from his cult die. Cyril frees his followers and instructs them to get out of the camp and back home while he creates a distraction. Cyril runs out of hiding straight for the gang leader with his staff, and declares he wants to use the focusing power of the staff to heel the leader of the gang to Cyril's will. The MC decides that this isn't a manipulation and it doesn't fall under Cyril's normal use of his Hocus powers, she declares that this is another use of acting under fire but Cyril is being inventive and taking a huge risk, she lets him roll his best stat this time, but he still rolls a 9. The MC offers... • a worse outcome: Cyril is shot, point-blank, by the gang's leader. 5-harm. His followers will get away clean. • an ugly choice: He creates enough of a distraction that his followers get away, but they've been seen fleeing and he's captured, or he has the full attention of the gang leader but his followers won't leave without him and all eyes in the camp are on Cyril right now. • a hard bargain: Cyril has the gang's leader under his command, but that doesn't sway the rest of the gang at all. Regardless of where you're sitting at the table, this is my favorite mechanic. As a player it gives you a brief moment of control, like rolling with a punch or flipping between two choices in a Choose Your Own Adventure novel. As an MC, it offers a challenging moment of looking at ugly/hard/worse options and offering them up as a meal. It is really hard to pull off well as a MC, since a partial success is still fundamentally a success, but I believe that mastering this on-the-spot thinking is what can make or break GMing properly. Tuesday, February 4, 2014 Apocalypse World of Darkness (brainstorming) Apocalypse World, from now on AW. World of Darkness, from now on WoD AW has playbooks, WoD has splats; I'm ambivalent about both but recognize the value for players to have easy choices AW has 5 stats and a plethora of moves, WoD has 9 attributes and 21 skills; I like a simple system, so let's keep WoD's attributes but get rid of the skills AW has countdown clocks, WoD has dots and points; I like dots and points AW rolls 2d6, WoD rolls pools of d10s; I like pools of dice, but let's use d6s because this isn't WoD, this is AWoD AW has complications and partial successes, WoD has exceptional successes and dramatic failures; I like complications and varying levels of success Trying to fuse the Apocalypse World moves dynamic with the standard World of Darkness stat blocks: Everything is kept the same, roll dice pools and only count the highest number on any rolled dice. Any result of '5' or higher can be used as a success for the roll. All dice rolling at 4 or less means the GM can make a hard move, or mark a hard move for use later. A dice that comes up a '6' allows you to roll another dice. I'm not sure how the math would work out. Combat and damage would have to be tweaked slightly anyway. For now, let's see how it works. From the WoD core rulebook: Perception Dice Pool: Wits + Composure Roll Results Dramatic Failure: Your character notices something strange or out of place, but it’s not what has actually occurred, or he makes a dangerous assumption about the event. A picture hanging at an odd angle indicates that someone has moved it, but your character assumes that a door has been slammed, shifting the piece of art. Failure: Your character notices nothing amiss or out of place. Success: Your character recognizes that something has happened. Exceptional Success: Your character not only recognizes when something unusual or quick happens nearby, he sees it all happen and gets a good look. Or he notices a variety of things that are amiss in his surroundings, just by entering the room. My interpretation: Perception when you roll Wits+Composure, spend successes to ask questions. • what does this mean? • what happened here recently? • what is about to happen? • what here is not what it appears to be? • what here is useful or valuable to me? • what is this? • where’s my best escape route / way in / way past? • which enemy is most vulnerable to me? • which enemy is the biggest threat? • who’s in control here? • is __ telling the truth? • what does __ intend to do? • what does __ wish I’d do? • what’s __ really feeling? I think that works but I'm not sure how partial successes would work out, because that's my favorite thing about AW. I'd be curious to figure out how combat would work, but that would require more work and I have to shelve this idea for now. I want to get back to working on... a few other things. I've got two D&D scenarios I'm writing, two maps I'm drawing, a new playbook for AW, rules for Fantasy Heartfucker or whatever I'm going to call it. I've got too many projects that I keep working on a little bit at a time, I need to focus on one and finish it sometime soon.
Workers’ Compensation: Benefits The Employer Or Employee? Daniel Stahl was working as a nurse for Hialeah hospital in 2003, just a few months after the state made changes to its workers’ compensation system. During one of his workdays, Stahl lifted a patient and ended up injuring his back from the movement. In October of 2005, his treating physician found he had reached his maximum medical improvement (MMI) and assigned him to a 6 percent impairment rating. At this point, he was entitled to impairment income benefits stretching 12 weeks and compensated for $5,472. He was eventually left with a permanent impairment and was restricted from lifting heavy weights—eventually ending his career. Still, it was later determined that Stahl did not meet the definition of permanent total disability (PTD) and his claim for PTD benefits was denied. He was then forced to pick up a teaching position at a nursing school. Background Information According to the Insurance Journal, “In his petition to the court, Stahl claims that the benefits available to him, and all injured employees since October 1, 2003 when state’s workers’ comp reforms went into effect are “inadequate and therefore cannot be the exclusive remedy for on the job injuries.” The court documents filed say the state’s workers’ comp law, as it is today violates the U.S. Constitution. The plaintiffs also argue that the Florida legislature has eliminate injured employees’ right to sue and the availability of partial disabilities benefits without providing an adequate replacement. The suit also takes issue with the addition of a copay for medical visits after a claimant reaches their MMI.”[1] As such, the petitioners help to argue what many worker’s comp advocacy groups have been stressing since the implementation of changes. To advocates, Florida’s lawmakers have disregarded worker’s rights in several instances, including retracting the right to withdraw from the system in 1970, reducing the temporary disability benefits limit to 104 weeks in 1993 and approving the 2003 amendment removing benefits for partial disability. Before such measures, temporary total disability benefits were limited to 350 weeks, while temporary permanent disability benefits were not to exceed five years [2]. Having to play into the worker’s comp system means that employees must give up their right to sue their employers for negligently inflicted injures in exchange for all over coverage. While this is the essence of workers’ comp–American workers used to rely on that compact in exchange for if/when they were to be injured on the job, their employers would pay for their medical bills and enough of their wages to help them get by while they recovered. Where other states allow the employees to opt out, in Florida, employees are getting the raw end of the deal; they have no choice but to suffer through the possibility of being denied coverage. As proof of this denial, ProPublica described in their article that they found, “Florida has cut benefits to its most severely disabled workers by 65 percent since 1994.” They also found that, “Many states have not only shrunk the payments to injured workers, they’ve also cut them off after an arbitrary time limit—even if workers haven’t recovered.” What makes all of this worse is that there has been no federal government involvement after they stopped monitoring state workers’ comp laws more than a decade ago. How does Florida’s Workers’ Comp Work Against You In several ways, the laws that govern Florida’s workers’ compensation process works against the employee, rather than the employer or insurance company. • The law limits the amount of times you can receive worker’s comp payments. As described in the situation with Stahl, the system is built to get people back to work as soon as possible, sometimes overlooking proper treatment in favor of paying out lower amounts. As such, once doctors release you back to work, the insurance company does not have to keep issuing workers’ comp reimbursements to the injured employee, forcing an employee to go back to work, even when they aren’t 100% recovered. • The insurance company picks the doctor. Knowing that the doctor’s diagnosis is critical to the amount of benefits you receive, insurance companies vet out doctors that end up restricting benefits by giving the insurance company a diagnoses that allows them to deny coverage. The process of going to the doctor is to prove that you have suffered a work-related injury and to recommend a treatment plan, but if the doctor is employer-friendly, they may not offer up the best solution; they would rather offer up the option with minimal impact for insurance companies to pay out. By doing so, they may gloss over an underlying problem so that you get back to work before you really should. • There is no protection of your job. As the last two issues have stated how the program ensures that some employees will go back to work without fully being recovered, another issue is that there is no guarantee that your job is still there. Employers do not have to hold open the job for you for when you are able to return to work. • It’s challenging to validate disability. The insurance company is concerned with limiting liability and payouts to inured employees. To achieve those objectives, they will often deny benefits if the injured employee is able to perform any other job. That means that if you are injured to the point where you cannot perform your usual job, but there is another job you can perform, you could be denied benefits. Even if this job pays substantially less than your previous job, it doesn’t matter. As long as you are working, the insurance company does not have to fill the gap [3]. Dolman Law Group Laws also make it tough for workers’ compensation attorneys to get paid. Lawyers are not paid directly by the clients they represent; rather they are paid either by the employer through a payout from the insurance company or directly by the insurance company. Other times, attorneys aren’t paid until the case is settled, which could take a long time. These restrictive and employer-friendly laws and policies make it even more imperative to consult an experienced workers’ compensation attorney in Clearwater. If you or a love one has sustained an injury while working, it is important to speak with a workers’ compensation attorney to discuss your rights and legal remedies. The worker’s compensation carrier may provide some reason for denying your benefits that sounds legitimate or follow along with the discrepancies mentioned in this post. It’s often a difficult and challenging time, thus, it is crucial to get the proper representation. This is our job.

Most of them generate events as a response to user actions. A label is a widget, too, but, usually does not generate events. • Shapes – lines, arcs, circles, polygons and other that belong on a canvas. • Timers – threads that perform an action the number of times specified and sleep for the  specified duration. From the definition “thread” you can understand that they run in parallel. The simplest Ruby Tk program is: require 'tk' This program displays the following window: This is the default window. It is displayed on the screen when the line ‘Tk.mainloop’ is performed. Until this window is closed, no commands that are not responses to events will be executed. “Programing Ruby – The Pragmatic Programmers Guide” suggests that you look at Perl/Tk guides to learn how to use Tk. A good place to look for Perl’s objects and their methods is Active Perl. I’m not going to write here the complete guide to Ruby Tk, but I hope the following chapters will help you understand how it works. To be continued. When you write for the web, you may want to send data to another server or to a client. A common way to transfer that data is in XML format. The data will then be processed using SAX, DOM or XPath. Every language support it. If what you want is to define a variable, an object or an array in Javascript, you can use the JSON extension. JSON is an acronym for ‘Java Script Object Notation’. In Javascript you can use it as follows: var myObject=<?php echo json_encode($php_object); >; Here no parsers are required. Here’s an example of using it in PHP: class my_class { public $prop1; public $prop2; function __construct(){ $obj=new my_class(); echo json_encode($obj); The output looks like: In addition to encoding, a JSON string can be decoded into an object in a language other than Javascript. Thus, you can pass data in the JSON format to any program supporting JSON, and, as you can see in, most languages used today support it. The ability to encode varibles into JSON and decode it back in any language is not the only reason why JSON can replace XML. If you go to, you can see links in the bottom referring to other sites. For example, JSONPath, that allows you to access a member just like XPath. JSONPath is available in PHP and Javascript.

Report abuse Transcript of Food of the Middle Ages Food of the Middle Ages Water was contaminated, so people of the Middle Ages had to resort to other drinks. The poor drank: Daily Meals All classes had three meals a day. Of course, commoner's meals were far less luxurious than upper class's. They had many more choices to choose from. Food for Upper Class Food for lower class Jodie Morada Amber Julian Elaina Ou Water Unavailable "Real" beer in the Middle Ages were made with barley, though other grains were used throughout the period. When the use of spices became popular, people started putting spices in their beer. Cinnamon, apples, lavender, and other spices were included in beer to have intense flavors of beer. Most wines were a mix of wormwood,myrtle, hyssop and rosemary with sweeter wine flavored with honey. Wine was a luxury and therefore can be only drunken by nobles/ wealthy. Ingredients For Daily Meals -Ploughman's Lunch: was made of crusty bread, cheese, pickled onions, chutney, cold meats such as slices of ham, pate, or pork pie, and fruits such as apples or other seasonal fruit. -Mylates of Pork (Pork Pie): included pork, four eggs, grated mozzarella cheese, powder fort, pine nuts, and salt with a pinch of saffron. -Cormarye (Roast Pork): had pork loin, coriander, caraway, pepper, salt, minced cloves of garlic, red wine, and broth. The English tried different variations and mixtures of resin to preserve the wine and prevent it from turning sour, since the climate was not warm enough for grapes to ripen. Spices Included in Beer How People of The Middle Ages Get Their Food Food for a King Cider is a drink usually made of apples. Water was poured onto apples then became steeped. Another way was to crush apples and mix them with water to extract a sweet and sour drink. Even though this was a poor man's alcohol drink, this was made in a similar way as beer. One of their only differences is that Ale is fermented at a higher temperature, which makes it mature faster. This drink was popular among all classes. It was made of honey, giving it the name, "honey wine". Alcohol was essential, and almost everyone drank it. Fortunately, medieval drinks had a low level of alcohol. Center piece The Great Table The usual staple of meals for peasants were bread, pottage, dairy, and meats such as beef, pork, and lamb. Due to their amount of wealth, nobles are able to eat a huge variety of foods, unlike the poor peasants. Deer, boars, hares, fish , rabbits, and other sources of meat were mostly eaten. Despite being able to have luxury in food, nobles had little access to vegetables, leading to several illnesses. First course: a civet of hare, a quarter of stag (had been coated in salt for one night), stuffed chicken, and a loin of veal The poor and peasants mostly farmed and poached (if they were desperate), though they can be punished if caught. Since nobles were incredibly wealthy, they could afford expensive spices such as pepper, cinnamon, cloves, mace, garlic, and mustard to flavor their dishes. The rich and wealthy drank: -many varieties of wine The rich and wealthy got their food by hunting. Preservation of Wine -Alchin, L. K. (1970) Middle Ages Food.

Proper Manners at the Table Pray before any meal. Wash hands before eating. Wipe your face so that no food/ grease is left. More Proper Manners Keep your elbows off the table. Do not burp or spit. Do not leave your spoon in a dish when you are done eating. Put your napkins over your left shoulder or wrist. Do not wipe your mouth on your sleeve, use the napkin. Thank you for watching!!! -Rosalie Gilbert (2006). Manners for the well-bred Medieval Women from Rosalie's Medieval Woman Upper class didn't eat vegetables because they thought that food from the ground was only for lower class. Only on certain occasions, would they have vegetables in their food. The centerpiece located on the Great Table was supposed to represent a green lawn. In the middle of the "lawn" was a small fortress, which was covered with silver, had a hollow interior, and had three banners placed on the gilt. The fortress was surrounded with large peacock feathers and green branches, which were tied to violets and other sweet-smelling flowers. The Great Table was set on a dais. It was strictly reserved for the invited guests. When guests arrived, they were taken to their assigned seats after they washed their hands at the entrance of the Great Hall. Most of the time, to prevent the table from getting dirty, the host/ hostess would cover the table with a table cloth. The plates on which food was served on was commonly made of gold and silver. Dip your fingers in the sauce above your knuckles. Smear your lips with soup, garlic, fat meat. Stuff your face with food. Drop any liquid onto your clothes. Drink when you are chewing food. Use forks because they were only used as cooking utensils. Put the knife in your mouth. Full transcript

Report abuse Transcript of Chapters 13, 14, 15, and 17 Gene Expression: From Gene to Protein Gene Expression is a process by which a gene (DNA) is used to synthesize proteins. - An example such as albinism is attributed to a faulty gene that codes the wrong information. -In such cases, the gene could code the wrong protein, or even be absent. Archibald Garrod proposed the idea that inherited diseases could be from the lack of a specific enzyme. -Ex: Phenylketonuria Neurospora experiment: Neurospora cells had a single gene disabled and noticed the mutant Neurospora were unable to grow on minimal medium while the non-mutants were able. Beadle and Tatum concluded that the mutants could not synthesize an important nutrient. This proved that "the function of a gene is to dictate the production of a specific enzyme." Mutations are changes to genes. -Point mutations change a single nucleotide pair. -Substitution mutations replaces a nucleotide and its corresponding nucleotide with another pair -Insertions and deletions are the addition or removal of nucleotide pairs. These changes to genes can cause a silent mutation, missense mutation, or nonsense mutation. -A silent mutation has no effect on the outcome trait of the gene. -A missense mutation will have little effect on the protein since only 1 amino acid changes. -A nonsense mutation stops translation because when the pair was changed, it was changed into a stop codon Important Contributors In Bacteria: In Eukaryotes: Regulation of Chromatin Chapters 13, 14, 15, and 17 DNA contains the nucleotides: Adenine, Cytosine, Guanine, and Thymine RNA is the same except that instead of Thymine, there is Uracil. Transcription is the synthesis of RNA from an original strand of DNA. - In DNA replication, a DNA strand is made from the original DNA (template) strand. - Then, that DNA strand serves as a template strand to make RNA. This is done by the RNA polymerase. - Assembles in 5' to 3' direction. - RNA polymerase starts at the promotor and the DNA sequence transcribed into RNA is a transcription unit. - The pre-mRNA is given a 5' cap and a Poly-A tail and is removed of all introns and left with the exons (RNA splicing). After, it is moved into the nucleus. The resulting mRNA strand from transcription is used in the synthesis of a polypeptide in a process called translation. - The mRNA nucleotide sequence leaves the nucleus and into the ribosomes, the sites of translation (in eukaryotes). - In the ribosomes, the mRNA undergoes translation to produce the amino acids for the protein. Codons are mRNA nucleotide triplets. There are 20 different amino acids which are made from making triplets of nucleotides. There is a combination of 64 different triplets. 60 of these combinations make up the amino acids while 1 makes a start codon, signaling the start of a nucleotide sequence and the other 3 make stop codons that signals when that nucleotide sequence ends for the protein. Amino acids are read from 5' to 3'. tRNA is used to transfer amino acids to the polypeptide in the ribosome by pairing up its anticodon to the codon in the mRNA. tRNA is 3' to 5' It starts at a start codon and ends at a stop codon. The Molecular Basis of Inheritance DNA is the genetic material DNA is the molecule that carries the genome long thought to be proteins Made in double helix, with specific base pairs (A-T; G-C) DNA replication takes many proteins Helicase separates two parent strands DNA pol III creates leading strand continously and the lagging strand in Okazaki fragments Primase adds RNA primers DNA pol I changes primers to DNA DNA ligase connects DNA fragments DNA Polymerase corrects any mismatched nucleotides A Chromosome is DNA molecule tightly wound around proteins DNA of bacteria supercoils into a dense nucleoid DNA in eukaryotes condenses around many histones Frederick Griffith Derrick Chen, Francis McMahon, Juliet Morales, and Anthony Velte Chapter 13 Chapter 14 Chapter 15 Regulation of Gene Expression Chapter 17 Adolf Mayer rubbed sap from Tobacco Mosaic Disease infected plants with sap from healthy plants.

Report abuse Transcript of Short Story Analysis: Short Story Analysis: "Tell Tale Heart" By Edgar Allan Poe Will and Carlton Brief Summary Point of View Foreshadowing and flashback What is the point of view of Tell-Tale Heart and how does that affect our understanding of the story? Tell-Tale Heart is told from the first person point of view. We only know the narrator’s thoughts, feelings, and actions as he sees them. Because the story is told from the first person point of view, we do not know anyone else’s thoughts or feelings and we do not know if the narrator is completely reliable. For instance, the old man’s eye may have been normal and the narrator just crazy. What is an example of irony from tell-tale heart? There is dramatic irony in Tell-Tale Heart. The reader knows more than the characters do. Specifically, the old man does not know of the narrator’s distaste for his eye and the old man does not know that the narrator is planning to kill him. There is also verbal irony in Tell-Tale Heart. The narrator says that he is not mad when the exact opposite ends up being true. Foreshadowing and Flashback What is an example of foreshadowing from tell-tale Heart? The author beings the story by indicating that he is not mad. He continues to say that he is not mad. This was the author providing us clues to the outcome of the story, which is that the narrator is actually mad. What is an example of flashback from tell-tale heart? The entire story of Tell-Tale Heart is a flashback. The man is recounting the events of what happened previously. The short story "Tell Tale Heart" by Edgar Allan Poe is about internal demons and reveals that humans will ultimately succumb to their guilt as a result of the internal anxiety they feel in order to preserve themselves. Character Development Internal conflict: The narrator is struggling to understand his distaste for the old man’s eye. He has no ill will towards the old man, but he feels the eye is evil and needs to be eliminated. External conflict: The narrator sneaks in to spy on the old man every night at midnight for seven days. One evening, the old man wakes up. After an hour of silence, the narrator overtakes and kills the old man. Tell Tale Heart is a short story about a man who is driven crazy by the eye of his old man tenant. This eye eventually causes this man to commit murder. He is overcome with guilt and anxiety; thus, he eventually admits to murder. The setting of this story is a house in a time before electricity. The setting is intentionally obscure as this story could have happened anywhere at any time. The setting creates an eerie sense for the reader. For instance, when the man uses the lantern to very slowly shine a light upon the old man's eye while making sure he is making little noise, the reader feels a sense of suspense. This leads the reader to believe that the anxiety the man feels will result in his ultimate downfall. The eyes through which the story is told is the man who is driven crazy by the old man's eye. We do not know the old man's perspective as the story unfolds. How does setting, character, craft, and conflict lead to theme? The eerie and suspenseful feeling created by the setting leads the reader to believe that the anxiety the narrator feels will ultimately lead to his downfall. The main character exhibits large amounts of anxiety. He first feels anxious about the eye, but he then feels anxious and paranoid after committing the murder. Ultimately, this gets the best of him and he is forced to confess. The author uses intentional strategies in order to develop theme, such as symbolism and irony. In this case, the old man's eye symbolized evil. When the narrator eliminates the eye, he is still haunted by it; therefore, the narrator is haunted by his own demons, not the demons of the old man. The internal struggle is what ultimately ends up ailing the narrator, not the external struggle. He is forced to face his own guilt. Full transcript

Saturday, December 10, 2016 A Person Who Maybe Motivated More People than Anyone Ever Had Honestly, I can't think of anyone who had an effect on a greater number of people, Get that part about the Ev's.  Yea, Maybe no Beatles. Hope you like it,. 1. two tunes at the same time--awesome!! 1. C-CS, PS, if you have the same stuff on the right sidebar as I do when I click that link I gave you, the top 3 at least are worth the time. 2. gave them a 'listen' and smiled the entire time -- thank you :-) 3. C-CS, So much out there. 50 years worth. What a body of work. And he was becoming an elderly man when this one was made. 2. Chet was not only a great guitar player, but a very nice man, too. 1. Adrienne, I think everyone who knew him would say even more of a person than a guitar player. 3. "I can't think of anyone who had an effect on a greater number of people," I can. The calendar starts on the year of His birth. 1. Well, Geeezix Ed. I was talking mere mortals! :-) 2. Ed, PS, many would claim Chet wasn't a mere mortal, but certainly no candle to the Boy King regardless. 3. He is a joy to listen to, they have that much in common :) 4. The power of music to transform lives –– and entire cultures –– is either unknown or ignored by the majority. However, –– whether you believe it or not ––, what we surround ourselves with be it Music, Interior Decor, TV, the Internet, Movies, Stage shows, or SmartPhones, what we wear what we eat, who we date, what we talk about with our friends, what we do with our free time, etc. molds our character as individuals and shapes our destiny. Not of us lives in a vacuum, therefore it's important for us to choose the way we occupy our time wisely. Chet certainly was a good influence on a whole generation of fellow musicians. I recognize that, even though I have to say I much prefer the profound influences great figures like Bach, Handel, Haydn, Mozart and Beethoven, et al. Few of us realize it, but without the great classical composers, Chet Atkins and Tommy .Emmanuel could not possibly have been what they are. To a large extent all significant musicians learned from each other, built on each other's work, and stood on each other's shoulders (metaphorically) in the constant search for "new sounds" for want of a better term. As I said at the beginning, we rarely recognize what influences us most profoundly. Learning how to differentiate between the good, the bad and the mediocre is important, but few get that far, because our culture does not give music a high priority. 1. FT, Yes, so much is reliant on the past and present. Few of us are creative. We are inspired by those who are. They call Chet country guitar but he as nothing in common with modern country and said modern country destroyed country music. His earliest albums have a very eclectic makeup including classical. Fingerstyle Guitar for example. 1950 something. 5. Great guy. Inspirational, talented, good, ..... 1. Z, I remember being at an outing our company had in Tempe Az while we were working on an RJ Reyonlds software project. One of the guys from RJR, as we stood around a fire in the desert having a beer, asked me if I had any heroes. I hadn't really thought about it to that point but fairly quickly answered Chet Atkins. He said Good hero to have. Chet honestly was selfless. Excellence was always his goal and he was never satisfied with his performance. Hard to do better than that regardless what you're doing. He inspired millions around the world. 6. This comment has been removed by a blog administrator. 7. What an inspirational credo for all of life's endeavors. He was way more than just an excellent guitar player. 1. Yes he was Cube. He had no enemies that's for sure. 8. ~• A Visit with Pa Grouch •~ 'Twas two days before Christmas And Papa Grouch here Made a pact with the Devil To stay home this year. The cupboard was bare And the table unclad Because of this grumpy Self-centered old Dad, Who'd decided it all Was too much of a strain That denuded his wallet And caused him great pain. Mama was despondent The babe on her lap Did nothing but howl And spit up its pap. The children were mopey Their eyes sullen slits They thought Papa'd gone mad And had lost all his wits When on the front lawn There arose a great clatter The neighbors had come To see what was the matter With no wreath on the door Or lights on the eaves They thought Papa'd grown poor Or been looted by thieves So up to the housetop With garlands they climbed Stringing green'ry and lights Till they got all begrimed The ladies walked in With caskets of food Then set up a tree While the children they wooed With carols in harmony Sung at the door With lighted red candles That dripped on the floor. Then in marched Tom Turkey, Who went straight to the oven, Saying, "Pluck me and stuff me, I'm dyin' for lovin.'" He made not a squawk While they chopped off his head Plucked out all his feathers And stuffed him with bread And onions and apples And sausage and sage And quite enough butter To pay a week's wage. The cranberry mold Like a rubicund belly Shook and shimmered itself Like a gem made of jelly. The scent of cinnamon Ginger and pine Along with the turkey Smelled simply divine A baker on crutches Who only could hobble Said, "Soon that old bird Will be ready to gobble." The men midst cold ashes Placed branches for Yule Their crackling splendor A marvelous tool For cheering and warming Pa Grouch with his pain, Who was soon moved to say, "I've no right to complain. "With neighbors like you, I feel it's a shame I ever indulged A desire to maim "The Spirit of Joy, Good Will, and Good Cheer. I promise you all I'll be nicer –– NEXT YEAR." Then placing his thumb At the tip of his nose He waved them Good Night And to bed up he rose. But I heard him exclaim, As he moved past our sight, "Don't let the door hit your butt, When you leave. Now GOOD NIGHT!" ~ FreeThinke Have Yourself a JOCULAR Christmas!
The Spirit of the Frescoes: The Unification of Light In considering the frescoes of Giotto and Taddeo Gaddi from the early 14th century,  specifically in the Peruzzi, Bardi and Baroncelli Chapels to the right of the main chapel of Santa Croce, the beauty of their art is fancied by visitors, students of art history and Italians alike. Both painters are celebrated for their originality in composition, and for evolving the techniques in painting during their time. Giotto and Taddeo Gaddi’s use of light, shadow, and perspective provided attention to naturalism and optics. This rendered an experience for the 14th century beholder that was different from ordinary life; it left a special impression on the medieval viewer because the scenes oriented them in relationship with it, bringing the beholder closer to God. As 21st century beholders of medieval art from an aesthetic point of view, we are observers of cultural achievement, and not necessarily participants. Looking at the Middle Ages from a purely critical or historical point of view can be a dangerous and misguided attempt at understanding the beauty of the age. And yet, allowing ourselves to be visually swooned by looking at art from solely a romantic perspective is likewise not the most fitting position to be in. To embrace and revel in the aesthetic integrity of the medieval age, perhaps experience a touch of the emotions that the artists intended, is certainly a challenge. Our mind on a day to day basis is overwhelmed with images and symbols, a fact untrue for individuals in medieval time. In respect to this, to recognize the beauty of these frescoes is something that demands some time and effort from us. The artist’s great achievements in painting are reasons why these frescoes are so compelling to look at, if only we are to understand a little of what they succeeded in doing. In the Bardi Chapel, Giotto depicted the Story of St. Francis in six scenes. From inside the chapel, the  viewer is meant to see all the scenes from the same spot. Image Therefore the inner space created within each individual scene is according to this central spot. Giotto further asserts this perspective by accounting for the stained glass window in the chapel, and using the window’s actual light as the light source within his scenes. The fresco’s architectural relationship, sharing the same space and the same light, provides an affect that puts the viewer in the scenes with St. Francis, nonetheless within the chapel of Santa Croce. It must be remembered, however, that in the medieval ages, the beholder was not surrounded by artificial lighting (it was actually the dark ages). Therefore, their perception of the light was much stronger, further illustrating their relationship with St. Francis and with God. Light, for medieval painters, was believed to be one way in which to represent God, as God was light. As an artist, Taddeo Gaddi accounted for light much more implicitly than Giotto did. Taddeo Gaddi learned Giotto’s techniques with light while he was his assistant, and went a step further with the study of optics.Image His scenes depicting the Life of the Virgin in the Baroncelli Chapel are also completely unified with the architectural space surrounding it. However, in the chapel, one may notice that the location of the window is on the same wall as the frescoes. Taddeo Gaddi was thus faced with a problem: there was no direct light source for those scenes on the same wall as the window. How did he account for a light source when the actual light source was backlit? He created an artificial light source instead, with the scenes taking place during nighttime. His supernatural light in the form of an angel provided a “flash” of light to make the scenes visible in the dark. Giotto on the other hand portrayed nighttime differently, for example by depicting torches, or not portraying scenes at night at all. Taddeo Gaddi introduced changes in the meaning of light, and his artificial creation of it also exhibits his attention to the architectural space in which he was working. His solution for maintaining a unification of light is brilliant, and further asserts the magnificence of naturalism to the beholder. This is additionally a key aspect of the mendicant order’s style, and these frescoes are undeniably part of the beauty of this Franciscan church.

Stephan Grover Cleveland is the fifth of nine children born to Reverend Richard Falley Cleveland and Ann Neal Cleveland. He was born on March 18th of 1837 in Caldwell, New Jersey, although he was raised in Fayetteville, New York. The actual house in which he was born still stands today on 207 Bloomfield Avenue. He was named in honor of Stephan Grover, a minister at a local Presbyterian Church who Reverend Cleveland had recently taken over for. Life as the son of a minister was different than most boys. The Cleveland’s spent every evening at home in prayer. Cleveland felt that this moral upbringing was his most valuable tool in life. Grover Cleveland visited an uncle in Buffalo, New York, and obtained a job in a law firm. While working there, he studied law and by May of 1859, the New York Supreme Court admitted him to the bar. Democratic politics had interested Cleveland since his arrival in Buffalo, so he became the county’s assistant district attorney. In 1865, Confederate General Robert E. Lee had surrendered his army to Union General Ulysses S. Grant at Appomattox Court House, Virginia. The Confederacy had collapsed and the United States was reunited and slavery was abolished. As the nation returned to peace, twenty-eight-year-old Cleveland won the demanding position of sheriff. When his term ended in 1873, he returned to his infamous law practice. On January 1,1882, Grover Cleveland took an oath to honor the city of Buffalo as their mayor. Cleveland was tough and honest. He was known as the “Veto Mayor,” because he continuously vetoed bills presented by corrupt politicians. In November of 1882, by a landslide margin of nearly 200,000 votes, Grover Cleveland became know as the “Veto Governor.” He understood the tremendous challenge of being the Governor of the State of New York, but his principles and values remained as strong as ever. The door to his office was always open, and he kept no secrets. In two years’ time, Cleveland’s stubborn sense of fairness and honesty gave him the nickname “His Obstinacy.” He passed bills to enlarge the state’s water supply and established a 1.5 million-acre park at Niagara Falls. Due to his reputation, the Democratic Party convinced him to run for president. On the second ballot, Cleveland won the Democratic nomination. The Democrats chose Thomas Hendricks of Indiana, as his vice-president on the ballot. To oppose Cleveland for presidency, the Republicans picked former Maine Congressman, James G. Blaine. Blaine was highly respected as a brilliant politician and national leader. With both candidates the victims of scandals, in 1884 the United States had never witnessed such a nasty campaign. In the end, Cleveland won by a slim margin of less than 63,000 votes. In just three years, Americans had lifted Grover Cleveland from a city lawyer to the highest public office in our country. At the age of forty-seven, Grover Cleveland became the twenty-second President of the United States, on March 4, 1885. A bachelor, Cleveland was not familiar with the comforts of the White House. During this first term, he ran into trouble. He filled every federal office with Democrats, whether or not they were deserving and merited the positions. In June of 1886, Cleveland married twenty-one-year-old Frances Folsom. He was the only president to be married in the White House and the first to have a child born in the White House, in 1893. Cleveland did not always make popular decisions, but based his treatment of injustices as the right thing to do. Over the years, unhappy trade workers banned together and formed the first trade unions. They were not pleased with their president. There was a huge gulf between the employer and employee. In December of 1888, he called on Congress to reduce high protective tariffs. The Democrats felt this would impact his re-election campaign, which he lost in 1888 to Benjamin Harrison. During his first term, Grover Cleveland was known as the “Veto President.” He issued more than 300 veto messages. He vetoed many private pension bills to Civil War veterans, who submitted fraudulent claims, and vetoed a bill appropriating $10,000 to distribute grains to drought-stricken, Texas farmers, contending that aid would weaken the character of the nation. Another unpopular decision was ordering the investigation of the railroads. He forced them to return 81,000 acres of Government land, and enacted the Interstate Commerce Act, which was the first law passed regulating the railroads. During President Harrison’s term, many issues angered Cleveland. The McKinley Tariff was passed, which taxed import items at the highest rates in history. The Congress also granted higher pensions for Civil War veterans. By the end of Harrison’s term, Congress had spent so much money on wasteful projects, that the treasury was almost empty. Predicting a national disaster, Grover Cleveland agreed to run for a second term as president. He returned to the White House in 1893, as his wife had predicted. Four years of careless spending by the Republicans pushed the United States into an acute depression. He had to act drastically, and dealt directly with the Treasury crisis, instead of with business failures, farm foreclosures, and increasing unemployment. On October 30, 1893, the Sherman Silver Purchase Act was repealed, and confidence was restored in the American dollar. In spite of Cleveland’s efforts, the national depression worsened, and the Democratic Party was divided. When railroad strikers violated an injunction in Chicago, the President sent Federal troops to break up the strike against the Pullman Company. His blunt treatment of the railroad company was very unpopular. His party deserted him and nominated William Jennings Bryan for president, in 1896. At fifty-nine-years-old, Cleveland felt disgraced as he finished his term in the White House. He retired peacefully in Princeton, New Jersey, but continued pressing for government reforms. At the age of seventy-one, Grover Cleveland died on June 24, 1908. Americans were deeply saddened and mourned the passing of this heavy, robust. man, who was so famous for his tremendous strength and energy. Grover Cleveland will always be remembered as courageous, hardworking, and honest, in spite of the outcome. Leave a Reply Be the First to Comment!

Because state laws vary greatly and SHARE-related terms can mean a lot of different things to different people, we have provided the following definitions to ensure that we can speak a common language around issues of interpersonal violence and abuse.   Note: Situations need not rise to the level of a criminal act or violation to Rights, Rules, Responsibilities in order for a person to obtain services at SHARE.   Interpersonal violence and abuseThe intentional use of force or power, threatened or actual, against another person, that can result in physical or psychological harm. Interpersonal violence and abuse includes sexual harassment, sexual assault, domestic/dating violence, and stalking. (Adapted from the World Health Organization's definition) Consent: The voluntary, informed, uncoerced agreement through words and actions freely given, which a reasonable person would interpret as a willingness to participate in mutually agreed-upon sex acts. Consent cannot be given when an individual is 1) incapacitated due to alcohol and/or drugs (lacking cognitive ability to make or act on conscious decisions); 2) unconscious; 3) mentally or physically incapacitated; or 4) underage. Sexual Harassment: When a person making unwelcome sexual advances, requests for sexual favors, or other verbal or physical conduct of a sexual nature and/or based on one's sexual orientation or gender identity 1) threatens or rewards academics, employment or participation in any University activity or benefit based on willingness to submit to such conduct; 2) gives grades or makes personnel decisions based on willingness to submit to such conduct; 3) interferes with a person’s educational experience or living/working conditions, due to the severe and/or pervasive nature of the conduct, by creating an intimidating, hostile, or offensive environment. Sexual Assault: This is an umbrella term that encompasses any form of unwanted or involuntary touching or penetration of intimate body parts, by a person of any gender. This includes being forced to touch someone else. "Unwanted or involuntary" sexual contact means that: 1) consent is not given, and the contact may include the use of threats, intimidation, coercion, or physical force 2) consent cannot be given because the contact is with those who are unable to give consent due to their age, physical helplessness, mental incapacitation, or incapacitation by alcohol or other drugs Dating/Domestic Violence or Intimate Partner Violence (IPV): The actual or threatened physical, sexual, emotional, or financial abuse of an individual by someone with whom they have a current/prior intimate relationship or shared residence. These relationships may include: partner/spouse, family member, caretaker, someone with whom a child is shared, household member or roommate.  Stalking: Purposefully or knowingly engaging in a course of conduct directed at a specific person that would cause a reasonable person to fear for their safety, the safety of a third person, or suffer other emotional distress.  “Course of conduct” is two or more acts of maintaining a visual or physical proximity to a person, either directly or indirectly by any action, method, device, or means. *Confidential Resource: A resource that is not obligated to report information that is given to them. This allows the client to explore their options in a non-pressured environment in order to make informed decisions. The only exceptions to this rule are in cases that involve imminent risk of serious harm, emergent hospitalization, or a court order.  While specific information may be kept confidential, these incidents may be counted for statistical purposes, as per the Clery Act. Non-Confidential Resource: A resource that is required by law to report incidents/violations and take legal, disciplinary or other action accordingly.

It's an alarmist umbrella term for anyone who disapproves of homosexuals for any reason, while in every other use, the suffix "phobia" only describes an irrational fear. From Wikipedia: Phobia: "an intense and persistent fear of certain situations, activities, things, animals, or people" Homophobia: "a range of negative attitudes and feelings towards homosexuality and people identified or perceived as being homosexual. Definitions[1][2][3] of the term refer variably to antipathy, contempt, prejudice, aversion, and (irrational) fear" I disapprove of homosexuality, but I don't have an irrational fear of it. So I would probably be labeled homophobic. Ha, You're A Horrible Person! Comments Filter: Save the whales. Collect the whole set.
Friday, July 19, 2013 Water timers & drip irrigation: vacay dilemma resolved! Why didn't we ever think of this before? Maybe because we thought it would mean an expensive and elaborate irrigation system? Or that setting up the tubes would require more work than it was worth? I wish someone had planted the idea in my head much earlier, because even if we're never away during summer for more than a week at a time, we've always relied on a lawn sprinkler (set on a timer) to water the plants. This worked out fine for the yard, but with water rates going up each year, I wanted a solution where the H2O goes exactly where it's needed and not sprinkling all over the vegetable rows. Since the lay of the garden is on a slope, it made arranging the 25-meter long tube awkward, but I'm satisfied that now we're watering the vegs and not weeds along the garden paths where they flourished. It has been 6 weeks since the last post (it just pains me that this year there is so little to report on the garden), and here are the brussel sprout plants now. It's amazing to see how much they've grown although I still need to keep them under protective cover from possible hailstorms. So far no problems with cabbage moths or slugs. The tomato plants have thrived as well from being placed in the sunniest spot next to the house (I had to put some type of "fencing" to let the dogs know that it was off-limits). All that extra heat bouncing off the walls has done nothing but good for their growth. Other tomato plants growing in the ground are less robust compared to these. First harvest for this year: 500 grams of gooseberries from our only plant, and a couple of zukes. The smaller one is from a zucchini bush that is bred to produce mainly flowers instead of fruit, but if female flowers are left to develop, they'll produce tiny zucchini like this one.
Terrorism and The Government Terrorism is a vast topic to be debated on. And for those in South Asia, it is a regular scenario. They see terrorism quite often. People getting abducted, executed and tortured. As Small Scale Incidences don’t reach the world so easily. The Peshawar attack, Mumbai 9/11, Gujarat Attacks, Samjhauta Express Attacks and the list never ends. But what we see is a one-sided world. A side of world where people’s belief is well faked, the world where citizens are nothing but the product of what the government has created. If There is an Al-qaeda, LTTE and other extremist forces existing in the world, isn’t it because of some reason? isn’t there any reason for such a big group to be aligned in a single direction? Yes, and according to the people in power, they are anti-social, destruction seeking people who run like dogs just to taste the power of authority and rule over this world. Of course, I am not supporting terrorism. But to Eradicate it, We need to bring down those people in power, the government! The group of people who can do anything to remain in power. Who can paint the right seekers into offenders. Yes, I sound Lunatic! Because the reader’s nature is tuned by this organized System. Power is Overwhelming Nature! Terrorist are known as the group of people who attack and kill innocent citizens and spread fear and darkness among the society. But Remember; “Jab Do Haathi Ladte Hain, To Aas Paas Ki Ghaas hi Kuchli Jaati hain”. When two bodies fight, Humanity goes in trash bin. Those People in power only think- how not to lose power. Hiroshima and Nagasaki was Bombarded by the Americans, more than a million people died – Weren’t the Americans a terrorist force at the time? This Terrorism is nothing but a war between, those group of extremists named as terrorists and those people in power, named as government. Those extremists are powerless and survive on Guns and Arms, they are well painted by the government as anti-social, destruction seeking people who run like dogs just to taste the power of authority and rule over this world. And the Government stands tall like A Superhero, A Savior, Servicing Humanity, Legitimate, Well-wisher, A Guardian, The Truth and everything. Those Who try to Compete them in a justified way are again suppressed down to earth. Well, India is a Great Example for Such a Scenario. Prime minister of India is so powerful at the moment that no one can even push him an inch from his position. His Plans for India are allowed to be very non-analytic and irrelevant. His Vision for India ar allowed to be deadly. His history can also comprise being a murderer, Extortionist, and an Illiterate. He is allowed Spend A million Dollar on a Suit which embeds his own name “Narendra Damodar Modi” in Gold and meanwhile in the slums millions of people are homeless and in search for one time food . He can Spend hundreds of million rupees on an election campaign. He can Spread the Terror among the Muslim Indians. He can be Bias….He is allowed to be a terrorist as long as he is in power. And as long as he is in power, he can take up the dirtiest existing methods to market himself and leave his citizens with no option but to vote him. This is Gross! will people really allow any ruler to be like this?!! Smaller Parties having a real view of doing something good for the nation, who know the reality of the existing government have no option but to fight till they die. People are well brainwashed that they will be against me after reading this article. In India, no Party exists without a level of corruption in it. Nothing Related to Politics is 100% Legit. “From Somewhere Something Goes into Someones Pocket For Sure”. Not Only in India, It Happens in almost in every nation, If Today there is a group of Extremists & Terrorists, Its all because of this Organized Government. Its because of this uncanny division of power, there are forces against the nature. There were people who got affected by the system, nobody ever heard their need! They got exploited and ruined! Millions of people lived, rotten and died in hell, because of this government. Politics is the dirtiest human creation that no one should ever get into and no one should ever follow. But this is what rules the world. Call it my prophecy: if the same scenario exists and is left unaffected, may be a century later from now, if the world wants to get into the direction of goodness, One day people will come together and throw away their governments, and then again the world will be ruling on the power of art and culture. This is the power of expression and the exposure to reality. The Power of Truth.
In the film Blade Runner, a replicant was a biorobotic being which was virtually identical to a human but lacked emotion and empathy. I talked to Jakobsson about the future of interfaces and how they should use “the human APIs”. “We see people and machines interacting in a very dumbed down way” he says. Jakobsson complains that 90 percent of the status updates in his Facebook stream are from Foursquare, Runkeeper or Gowalla.”The interface through which we are talking to each other is GPS coordinates, how many kilometers I have been running and songs shared on Spotify. We are using the APIs of a machine instead of the human APIs like voice and feelings and movement”. Jakobsson sees a possible future in which our lives become cluttered with ever-fancier screens (see TAT’s future of screens video below), augmented reality and other machine-driven interfaces. “It’s not augmented reality, it’s dumbed down reality” he comments. “We come from an era where everything is clickable. Now we are saying, everything that is clickable in real life, let’s put a red tag on it, which is talking technology language. You are forcing people to become robots.” His alternative is to make interfaces more human and he sees designers as crucial to that process. “How do we create people to machine to people interfaces which make that interaction natural?” Jakobsson is Swedish and he uses the analogy of cross-country skiing to explain the role of the designer. There is a huge difference between the effort required to ski on virgin snow and on a pre-defined track. The traditional role of the user interface designer was to make tracks that users can follow. While one of the designer’s jobs should still be “to create highway tracks”, Jakobsson would also like to see a process where users are allowed to ski around on a metaphorical open field and the tracks they create can be used by others. He describes this a more heuristic way to create a user interface. Just as importantly, Jakobsson thinks that the designers role is not just to make a product pretty, something he regards as “lipstick on a pig” design. “Designers should be in the depth of engineering and even before engineering.” A large part of the designer’s task is to identify the specific niches or use cases which a product should address. “The question is really ‘Should we build a church or a monastery?’ Right now we are building holy places.” he explains. In other words, most technology products, and mobile phones in particular, address too broad an audience and set of uses. “I think we will see much more of people having text and talk phones, in a sense. Simplifying but not dumbing down.” he says. “The problem today is that there are really just two phone categories: a smartphone with bells and whistles and no battery life or an old phone like a Nokia series 40”. Every handset manufacturer is finding it hard to escape the trap of building an iPhone copy. Jakobsson cites INQ mobile as an exception to this trend. INQ makes phones designed for specific niches like social networking. “Let’s build this phone which has built-in Spotify and built-in Facebook. It doesn’t even look like an iPhone. I think INQ is going to be really successful” he says. I asked Jakobsson for some examples of user interface technologies he likes. “I like gesture interfaces because that’s a very human approach. Gestures are very much more tactile.” But he also thinks that more natural interfaces introduce new problems. “The minute you do direct manipulation, for example using touch, it needs to be perfectly responsive. We are getting into the concept of the uncanny valley (when robots look and act almost, but not quite, like humans and actual humans are repulsed) for interfaces when you add physics engines, gestures, etc. because we are manipulating human to human interactions. When they are ten percent off, it’s just going to feel weird.” He’s also not a big fan of haptics. “Haptics for me is like voice recognition. It’s the best idea in the world but it just doesn’t work. In 5 to 10 years they will both work.” The ideal for Jakobsson is that technology starts to disappear. “The device you are holding in your hand will become thinner and thinner, not physically necessarily, but conceptually. You are going to think that you are not even holding a device.”
The Perception of Sound By: Ken Humphreys Speaker Engineer After a sound wave reaches your eardrum, the real magic begins. When you’re aware of a sound, your ear and brain are working together on the difficult task of selecting which sound to pay attention to, what might be making it, where it’s located and much more. Here are a few of the important “processing” jobs you routinely but unconsciously accomplish: Determining Loudness You can hear a sound at 0 dB (but just barely) yet handle sounds with a trillion times the energy at 120 dB! The price you pay to be able pull off this remarkable feat is that you’re fairly insensitive to changes in sound energy levels. For example, a speaker receiving 100 watts of energy will sound only four times as loud as when it’s receiving 1 watt. One side-effect of this phenomenon is that you don’t need to concern yourself with amplifier power nearly as much as you might think. 70 watts—100 watts—what’s the difference? Only about 1½ dB. Not much, right? This graph shows the sound intensity range that you’re able to make sense of. Each 10dB increase represents 10 times the energy, but only twice the loudness. Another neat loudness related trick your ear performs is that it becomes increasingly sensitive to bass when the sound is loud and sensitive to the midrange when everything quiets down. The “loudness” button on your receiver is designed to compensate for this by boosting the bass at lower listening levels. This context-sensitivity was probably quite useful for cavemen by allowing them to derive useful bass information when encountering stampeding wooly mammoths — yet be able to tune into the slight rustle of a skulking saber-toothed tiger. Dinner is served! Locating sound When you hear a sound, you can immediately turn your head and face it. You probably take this for granted, but you might not if you knew the number of hard-to-believe calculations your brain just performed. Scientists are discovering that you construct a spatial model in your brain that updates constantly and uses sound as well as sight. Yes, very similar to bats. To locate sounds in this model you constantly gather information from a variety of sources: What kind of space are you in? When you hear a sound it has a “signature” that is unique. It arrives at your ear and gets “fingerprinted,” and a few milliseconds later a family of other sounds that bear the same signature arrive in the form of reflections. First, they are associated with the first arrival that created the signature so that the cacophony of other sounds around you can be ignored. Then, by calculating the direction of these delayed arrivals, how long they were delayed and the way that their signature has been “smeared” (whew!) you are able to tell a lot about what kind of environment you are in. For example, you may now know that you are in a small room with large, hard surfaces. In order to do this you had to determine the directions of the original sound and the way it echoed around the room. This was not simply done. Your brain just took into consideration at least three different kinds of information to calculate the direction. First, one ear heard the sound as louder simply because your head created a “sound shadow” and blocked the sound to the ear furthest away. Secondly, the part of your ear that sticks out from your head modified the sound in ways that clue you in regarding the direction the sound came from. And lastly, your brain calculated the phase thing: How much was the delay between the wave arriving at the left ear versus the right ear? Your brain then unconsciously applies this formula to what you just experienced. And you thought you were bad at math! Your brain is a whiz. For speaker designers, some of the important points are: 1. For familiar sounds, you are very sensitive to “tonal balance,” that is, are the treble, bass and midrange parts in the right proportion to one another? If a speaker’s frequency response graph is “flat”, that tells you that it’s reproducing the sound with the right balance (at least for the position of the measuring microphone). This has been shown to be the most important thing perceived as “accuracy” in the entire audio system. 2. How much of a time-delay does there need to be for an arriving sound to be identified as a reflection rather than part of the original sound’s signature? Jury’s out on this one, but if the “delayed arrival” is soon enough, say from reflections off of the grill frame or speakers that aren’t mounted flush, it is heard as part of the signature and you will hear it as a distortion to the tonal balance. 3. Your brain mostly ignores reflected signals when evaluating the balance of sound. Bass reflections get treated a little differently. 4. You cannot locate bass sounds unless you correctly associate a bass note’s overtones and then locate them in space. This allows for speakers that specialize in low bass—subwoofers—to be placed away from the main speakers and successfully fool you into believing that the bass is coming from the small speakers that reproduce the overtones. 5. Here is a neat little experiment you can try at home: Put your amp in “mono’ mode and notice that if you are just slightly off-center, the sound will appear to be coming completely from the speaker closest to you. This is because your brain is a detective, and the sound coming from this speaker gets “fingerprinted”, identified as the first arrival of sound and then used as the sole source of information as to the sound’s location. You are still hearing the other speaker, (try unplugging it) your brain just isn’t using it for location information. In Conclusion The study of how the brain processes sound – psychoacoustics — is a huge and very interesting body of information. If you’d like to read more, there’s a lot to dig into. You may want to bring a good shovel and start at this wikipedia article. Have fun exploring science!

Workers Compensation In Lumberton or elsewhere in North Carolina Workers Compensation injury laws work the same. To collect benefits, first, you must be hurt by accident. Second, the accident must occur while you are on the job in the course and scope of your job duties. Except for back injuries an accident which qualifies you for benefits must be an occurrence which is unusual or out of the ordinary. In other words, if you were just doing exactly what you do in the same way you always do it, you cannot recover. An unusual movement or twisting or other contortion of your body which you did not normally make while performing your work may be sufficient to prove accident, but your presentation of evidence of accident must be very specific throughout the development of the claim. Back injuries are in a special category. When the claimant injures his back while doing the same job in the same way he has always done it, there is coverage due to a special statute governing back injuries. So even if you have no accident in the usual way but there is sudden onset of symptoms of pain and/or numbness in your back, even if you have made no unusual movement, there is still coverage. Claimants often compromise their case in the initial recorded statement with the adjuster who knows the information in the previous paragraph, but the claimant without a workers compensation attorney usually does not. That is why hiring an experienced workers compensation attorney just as soon after the accident happens is crucial. The adjuster usually asks the claimant if he or she were doing their job in the usual way. What is the natural expected answer to that question, if you don’t stop to think about it carefully? A poorly considered answer could cost you your case. What do your Workers Compensation benefits cover? Your medical bills, of course. Then, if the doctor keeps you out of work for more than 7 days, you start drawing temporary total disability until the doctor releases you to go back to work on full or restricted duty. How much do you get? That is figured as two thirds of your regular GROSS income per week, not counting overtime and is called the “comp rate”. How long can you draw it? Until the doctor releases you without restrictions or until suitable employment can be found by you or for you to accommodate your permanent restrictions. If the doctor releases you he may give you a rating of your injures; that is, what percentage of the body part injured is impaired permanently. How does that equate to compensation. Each body part is assigned a different number of weeks of disability. Say, you’ve hurt you back, you’ve treated an reached maximum medical improvement so the doctor releases you with a ten per cent permanent rating to your back. Take the 300 weeks the workers compensation statute assigns for the back and multiply by ten percent which equals 30 weeks. Multiply that by the weekly comp rate and you get the value of that injury. At the time you reach maximum medical improvement and get your rating your temporary total disability stops. You could accept this sum and seek no more and you would continue to be eligible for medial benefits as long a no more than two years elapse during which you use no medical services for you injuries. However, most people do not get a rating without some restrictions. If you have restrictions the employer must find you suitable equivalent work as what you were doing. That is you can’t be made to flip burgers if you had been a highly paid technician. Thus, the company has an obligation to provide vocational rehabilitation at their expense. NOT ONE TIME IN MY TWENTY FIVE YEARS OF WORKING THESE KIND OF CASES HAS A SINGLE CLIENT BEEN FOUND A JOB BY VOCATOINAL REHAB IN THE LUMBERTON OR ROBESON COUNTY AREA. Once an industry knows you have been hurt you are damaged goods and they simply will not hire you, not around here, anyway. As long as you have restrictions they have to continue paying you temporary total disability (remember, two thirds of your regular income, and it is non-taxable the CPA’s tell me). What the insurance carrier looks at is the likelihood that they may be paying you this amount for the rest of your life. They want to get off the hook. So they will often pay you a great deal of money to end their obligation to mail you weekly payments which could extend well into six figures. Our job as your workers compensation attorney is to make them see their enormous liability and pay to you a much larger sum than you could ever get by simply taking your lump sum for your rating. Often our clients get a very large settlement this way and then are qualified to receive full Social Security and Medicare which makes up for a significant part of the workers compensation payment which will be stopped after payment of the large settlement sum. If the client is business minded at all he can often invest some of his settlement in a business venture that will accommodate his disability and at the same time proved his more additional income while reducing his Social Security little if any. Workers Compensation is highly technical and there are pitfalls along the way too often made by those who represent themselves. We offer a free first consultation for victims of on the job injuries. The sooner you get an experienced workers compensation attorney the better your likely outcome. Contact Us Contact Form
Sacramento, California Sacramento is the capital of the state of California, the county seat of Sacramento County and is situated in the Central Valley. The estimated population was 477,892  in 2011, making it the sixth-largest city in California. The Sacramento metropolitan area consists of four counties -- El Dorado, Placer, Sacramento and Yolo -- which together had an estimated population of 2,527,123 in 2009. Sacramento is a major regional hub of economic and cultural movements and activities in the Sacramento Valley. Two major rivers, the American and Sacramento rivers, intersect in Sacramento and are international attractions for rafters, kayakers and boaters. Cyclists, runners and pedestrians also enjoy the tree-lined zones along the rivers. The first settlers of the area now known as Sacramento were the Nisenan and Plains Miwok Indians. Between 1799 and 1808, Spanish explorer Gabriel Moraga discovered and named the Sacramento Valley and the Sacramento River. A writer with Moraga's expedition noted that "canopies of oaks and cottonwoods, many festooned with grapevines, overhung both sides of the blue current. The air was like Champagne, and (the Spaniards) drank deep of it, drank in the beauty around them. It's like the Holy Sacrament." Thus, the valley and the river were then christened after the "most Holy Sacrament of the body and blood of Christ," a reference to the Catholic sacrament of the Eucharist.  In August 1839, pioneer John Sutter Sr. arrived in the Sacramento area from Liestal, Switzerland, with other settlers and established Sutter's Fort, which was a trading colony and stockade that Sutter dubbed New Helvetia, or "New Switzerland." Sutter's orchard of fruit trees planted in 1847 was the inception of the agriculture industry in the Sacramento Valley. However, the following year, James W. Marshall discovered gold at Sutter's Mill in Coloma, about 50 miles northeast of the fort, and a large number of prospectors arrived in the area searching for gold. Sutter's son, John Sutter Jr., in association with Sam Brannan, planned the city of Sacramento, which overnight became a commercial success. Sutter hired William H. Warner, a topographical engineer, to draft the original layout of the city, which is situated just east and south of where the American River meets the Sacramento River. In 1849, the citizens of Sacramento adopted a city charter, which was recognized by the state Legislature in 1850, making Sacramento the oldest incorporated city in California.    Throughout the early 1840s and 1850s, when China was at war with Great Britain and France in the First and Second Opium Wars, many Chinese immigrants came to America. Many of them first came to San Francisco, which was then the largest city in California and which the Chinese called Dai Fow, meaning "The Big City." Some Chinese immigrants eventually came to Sacramento, which was then second largest city and which the Chinese called Yee Fow, meaning "Second City." They helped build the levees within Sacramento and the surrounding cities as well as railroads in the city and the transcontinental railroad across the United States. Today, Sacramento’s Chinatown is much smaller than in the 19th century, but nevertheless, Chinese-Americans are recognized as significant part of Sacramento’s history and heritage. The California Legislature moved to Sacramento in 1854, and in 1879 at the Constitutional Convention the city was named the permanent state capital. The capital under both Spanish and Mexican rule once Mexico gained its independence in 1821 had been in Monterey. After California’s statehood was ratified, the Legislature met in San Jose, Vallejo and Benicia, before moving to Sacramento.  The city’s economic base is mainly governmental. Transportation is a also large sector, as are information technology, leisure and hospitality, business services, higher education, construction, and health services and research. The city’s top employers are Sutter Heath, Blue Diamond Growers, Aerojet and the McClatchy Company. The Sacramento area hosts a wide variety of higher educational opportunities. There are two major public universities, California State University, Sacramento, and the University of California, which has a campus in nearby Davis as well as graduate facilities in Sacramento. Many private institutions, community colleges and vocational schools are also located in Sacramento. Sutter’s Fort and Old Sacramento are the oldest parts of the city, and buildings there have been preserved, restored and reconstructed, and the district is now a substantial tourist attraction with rides on steam-hauled historic trains and paddle steamers. Sacramento also has several major museums -- the Crocker Art Museum, the California State Railroad Museum, the California Automobile Museum, the California Museum for History, Woman, and the Arts, which is home to the California Hall of Fame, and the Sacramento History Museum. Sacramento is home to a significant music scene, including the Sacramento Philharmonic Orchestra, the Sacramento Choral Society & Orchestra, the Sacramento Youth Symphony, the Sacramento Master Singers, the Sacramento Children’s Chorus and the Camellia Symphony. Sacramento is well known as a center for Dixieland jazz, and jazz fans flock there every Memorial Day weekend to attend the Sacramento Jazz Jubilee. Many theaters are in Sacramento, including the Community Center Theatre and Memorial Auditorium. Sacramento has a Mediterranean-style climate, with winters that are wet and mild, and summers that are dry and hot. The Sacramento Valley is known for its tule fog, which is extremely dense, limits visibility to less than 100 feet, and usually lasts an average of 96 days per year. Summers in Sacramento are great for people who love the heat, as on average the temperature exceeds 90 degrees Fahrenheit on 74 days during summer.

Why this Ginseng is the Right Choice to Fight Fatigue Are You Tired and Looking to Increase Your Energy? More and more people are looking for a way to increase their energy.  At the same time, people are  concerned about over consuming highly-caffeinated energy drinks or supplements. People are just simply looking for a different type of energy that will not give them a jittery feeling, one often associated with taking in an excessive amount of caffeine. That’s why we recommend looking at Ginseng as a good alternative. It is caffeine-free and the effect lasts for a long time, keeping you in a good mood and feeling alert. Ilhwa’s Ginseng is a particularly reliable selection. How Does Ginseng Absorb in Your Body? Ginseng’s unique active ingredient ginsenosides, possess important medicinal properties. Key ginsenosides from ginseng extract are not fully absorbed until they reach the lower intestine. After Ginseng is consumed, natural ginsenosides enter the stomach and small intestines without being digested. Absorption in the Body Absorption: Person-to-Person Because the key ginsenosides are finally absorbed in the colon, many people do not fully absorb ginseng and gain all the benefits. When the ginsenosides enter the large intestines, the beneficial bacteria residing in the large intestines play a very important role in metabolizing natural ginsenosides into highly absorbable compounds. Individual Absorption Differences How Does GinST 15 Solve the Absorption Problem? ginseng elixir from IlhwaAs the world leader in ginseng science, Ilwa was determined to find a solution to this problem of absorption. Through diligent scientific research they discovered the main end stage metabolite and named it IH 901. This was the key marker which Ilhwa tracks when they work with the whole balanced ginseng extract, which is not fractionalized ginsenosides. In 1999 they secured 2 patents for creating ginseng extract metabolites via human bacteria. They have continued their diligent work developing a high yield enzyme fermentation process with their famous ginseng extract. In fact they created 2 more patents in 2009 and 2010. Since 1981 Ilhwa created a research and development center, and they have used the best in scientific research to create breakthroughs in ginseng growth, harvesting, processing and extraction. For the past 40 years ILHWA has done continuous scientific research and development making them the World Leader in Ginseng Science. Ilhwa uses the best that modern science has to offer in all of its research and development. They really honor the essence of the remarkable ginseng root, which has been used for 5,000 years to heal and optimize the human performance.

Mastering the art of bidding; Auction! The Guide to Bidding, Buying, Bargaining, Selling, Exhibiting, and Making a Profit, by William C. Ketchum Jr. New York: Stirling Publishing Company. $10.95. Cashing in on the Auction Boom, by James Wagenvoord. New York: Rawson, Wade. $ 6.95. Whether or not you return home with a Victorian sofa or a slightly used ironing board, an auction can make a good afternoon's or evening's worth of entertainment. Those who know the right way to attend an auction, who have mastered the art of bidding and not bidding, will get good buys as well as entertainment. Those who don't may end up wishing they'd gone to a movie instead. Recognizing that auctions are loaded with both pleasures and perils, William C. Ketchum Jr. has written a useful guide to making sure there are more of the former than the latter. You begin, he says, by making wise use of the auction preview, the time period in which the public can examine the goods to be sold. Anything that interests you should be examined thoroughly. Does that dropleaf table have both its leaves intact? Does that quilt have too many moth holes to make it a worthwhile investment? Never, he advises, bid on anything you haven't seen before it goes up for bid. Other chapters deal with the sale itself, including such crucial matters as where to sit and how to bid intelligently. He also tackles the thorny subject of how to protect yourself against a dishonest auctioneer. How do you know if the auctioneer is using a "shill," someone planted in the audience to bid in order to get the price up? Or what about those "phantom bidders" who aren't really there at all? A lawyer as well as an avid auction-goer, Mr. Ketchum gives the reader a good idea of the rules and regulations governing most auctions. Just how binding a bid can be and the circumstances under which a customer can return an object are well-outlined. He also includes a chapter on how to use auctions as a seller rather than as a buyer, pointing out that certain auctions can yield particularly high prices for your own merchandise. In addition there is some useful background on the types of antiques auctions that are available. They range from the elite city galleries such as Sotheby Parke Bernet and Christie's, where millions of dollars can be spent during a single sale, to the small country auctions that dispense everything from Chippendale highboys to boxes of bottle caps. Each, as Mr. Ketchum illustrates, requires a certain amount of know-how to obtain both profit and enjoyment. James Wagenvoord's book is less of a how-to on auction attendance and more of a compendium of the many different types of auctions available today. While Mr. Ketchum deals with just those offering antiques and fine arts, Mr. Wagenvoord introduces the reader to everything from post office a uctions to those resulting from business liquidations.

Skip to Content Rivastigmine Hexal Active Substance: rivastigmine Common Name: rivastigmine ATC Code: N06DA03 Marketing Authorisation Holder: Hexal AG   Active Substance: rivastigmine Status: Authorised Authorisation Date: 2009-12-11 Therapeutic Area: Dementia Parkinson Disease Alzheimer Disease Pharmacotherapeutic Group: Psychoanaleptics Therapeutic Indication Symptomatic treatment of mild to moderately severe Alzheimer's dementia. Symptomatic treatment of mild to moderately severe dementia in patients with idiopathic Parkinson's disease. What is Rivastigmine Hexal? Rivastigmine Hexal is a medicine containing the active substance rivastigmine. It is available as capsules (yellow: 1.5 mg; orange: 3 mg; red: 4.5 mg; red and orange: 6 mg) and as an oral solution (2 mg/ml). This medicine is the same as the capsules and oral solution of Exelon, a medicine that is already authorised in the European Union (EU). The company that makes Exelon has agreed that its scientific data can be used for Rivastigmine Hexal (‘informed consent’). What is Rivastigmine Hexal used for? Rivastigmine Hexal is used for the treatment of patients with mild to moderately severe Alzheimer’s dementia, a progressive brain disorder that gradually affects memory, intellectual ability and behaviour. Rivastigmine Hexal is also used to treat mild to moderately severe dementia in patients with Parkinson’s disease. The medicine can only be obtained with a prescription. How is Rivastigmine Hexal used? Treatment with Rivastigmine Hexal should be initiated and supervised by a doctor who has experience in the diagnosis and treatment of Alzheimer’s disease or dementia in patients with Parkinson’s disease. Treatment should only be started if a caregiver is available who will regularly monitor the use of Rivastigmine Hexal by the patient. Treatment should continue as long as the medicine has a benefit, but the dose can be reduced or treatment interrupted if the patient has side effects. Rivastigmine Hexal should be given twice a day, with morning and evening meals. The capsules should be swallowed whole. The starting dose is 1.5 mg twice a day. In patients who tolerate this dose, it can be increased in 1.5-mg steps no more frequently than every two weeks, to a regular dose of 3 to 6 mg twice a day. The highest tolerated dose should be used to get the maximum benefit, but the dose should not exceed 6 mg twice a day. How does Rivastigmine Hexal work? The active substance in Rivastigmine Hexal, rivastigmine, is an antidementia medicine. In patients with Alzheimer’s dementia or dementia due to Parkinson’s disease, certain nerve cells die in the brain, resulting in low levels of the neurotransmitter acetylcholine (a chemical that allows nerve cells to communicate with each other). Rivastigmine works by blocking the enzymes that break down acetylcholine: acetylcholinesterase and butyrylcholinesterase. By blocking these enzymes, Rivastigmine Hexal allows levels of acetylcholine to be increased in the brain, helping to reduce the symptoms of Alzheimer’s dementia and dementia due to Parkinson’s disease. How has Rivastigmine Hexal been studied? Rivastigmine Hexal has been studied in three main studies involving 2,126 patients with mild to moderately severe Alzheimer’s disease. Rivastigmine Hexal was also studied in 541 patients with dementia due to Parkinson’s disease. All of the studies lasted six months and compared the effects of Rivastigmine Hexal with those of placebo (a dummy treatment). The main measures of effectiveness were the change in symptoms in two main areas: cognitive (the ability to think, learn and remember) and global (a combination of several areas including general function, cognitive symptoms, behaviour and the ability to carry out everyday activities). An additional study in 27 patients was used to show that Rivastigmine Hexal capsules and oral solution produced similar levels of the active substance in the blood. What is the risk associated with Rivastigmine Hexal? The types of side effects seen with Rivastigmine Hexal depend on the type of dementia it is being used to treat. Overall, the most common side effects include nausea (feeling sick, seen in 38 patients in 100) and vomiting (seen in 23 patients in 100), particularly during the phase when the dose of Rivastigmine Hexal is being increased. For the full list of all side effects reported with Rivastigmine Hexal, see the package leaflet. Rivastigmine Hexal must not be used in people who are hypersensitive (allergic) to rivastigmine, other carbamate derivatives or any of the other ingredients. It must also not be used in patients who are suspected to have had an allergic reaction called ‘allergic contact dermatitis’ to the Exelon patch in the past. Why has Rivastigmine Hexal been approved? The Committee for Medicinal Products for Human Use (CHMP) concluded that Rivastigmine Hexal has a modest effectiveness in treating the symptoms of Alzheimer’s dementia, although this does reflect an important benefit in some patients. The Committee initially concluded that for the treatment of dementia due to Parkinson’s disease, Rivastigmine Hexal’s benefits did not outweigh its risks. However, following a re-examination of this opinion, the Committee concluded that the medicine’s modest effectiveness could also be of benefit to some patients. Therefore, the Committee decided that Rivastigmine Hexal’s benefits are greater than its risks for the treatment of mild to moderately severe Alzheimer’s dementia and mild to moderately severe dementia in patients with idiopathic Parkinson’s disease. The Committee recommended that Rivastigmine Hexal be given marketing authorisation. Other information about Rivastigmine Hexal: The European Commission granted a marketing authorisation valid throughout the EU to Hexal AG for Rivastigmine Hexal on 11 December 2009. The marketing authorisation is valid for five years, after which it can be renewed. Source: European Medicines Agency
tag:www.econsultancy.com,2008:/topics/email Latest Email content from Econsultancy 2017-05-02T14:01:00+01:00 tag:www.econsultancy.com,2008:BlogPost/69035 2017-05-02T14:01:00+01:00 2017-05-02T14:01:00+01:00 How Lenny Letter used email newsletters to cultivate an online community Nikki Gilliland <p>With 500,000 subscribers and a reported 70% open rate, it has rapidly grown in popularity since its launch in 2015. So, what makes readers race to read it? </p> <p>Here’s a bit more on how Lenny has evolved so far.</p> <h3>Email as an intimate medium</h3> <p>Lena Dunham has famously championed the discussion of feminist topics, including friendship, health, sex and money – previously using the mediums of TV and books to do so. With the realisation that there was an appetite for more in-depth feminist content, she launched Lenny Letter to deliver it direct to women’s inboxes.</p> <p>Lenny takes the form of two emails per week – Tuesdays is for personal essays and short stories, while Fridays is reserved for interviews. Both are lengthy and usually feature illustrations by up-and-coming artists. </p> <p><img src="https://assets.econsultancy.com/images/0008/5694/Lenny_2.JPG" alt="" width="500" height="820"></p> <p>So, why did Dunham choose to steer clear of the standard website-format, used by the likes of <a href="https://econsultancy.com/blog/68121-why-i-love-the-pool-and-its-refreshing-approach-to-publishing/" target="_blank">The Pool</a> and Jezebel?</p> <p>According to editor Jessica Grose, it is so that writers can directly speak to the audience, shining a spotlight on important messages rather than distracting them with a broad selection of articles. </p> <p>What’s more, it is built on the notion that email is a much more intimate and personal medium, with users deliberately opting in to receive content rather than absent-mindedly browsing on a public forum. </p> <h3>Encourages social community</h3> <p>Lenny does have an accompanying website, however, content is published with a delay of 24 hours or so to incentivise subscriptions to the newsletter. This is also done to give the design of the newsletter due attention, with illustrations and composition deliberately aligning with the medium.</p> <p>Like a lot of other publications, Lenny <a href="https://econsultancy.com/blog/68663-why-online-publications-are-ditching-comments-sections-for-social/" target="_blank">does not allow comments</a>, instead encouraging readers to use social media to start positive conversations about topics featured. In turn, Lenny employees are highly responsive, typically replying to Instagram or Twitter comments within the same day.</p> <p>Combined, this has helped the publisher to create a receptive online audience, which has in no doubt contributed to high open rates and loyal readership. </p> <h3>Advertising business model</h3> <p>The main reason for the existence of the Lenny website is to provide a permanent space for display and <a href="https://econsultancy.com/blog/67083-is-native-advertising-sustainable/" target="_blank">native ads</a> – the result of a partnership with Hearst Media. The deal involves Hearst selling space for advertising and branded content on the site, as well as promoting Lenny across titles like Marie Claire and <a href="https://econsultancy.com/blog/68384-how-cosmopolitan-reinvented-itself-became-the-number-one-women-s-magazine-in-the-uk/" target="_blank">Cosmopolitan</a> magazine.</p> <p>Lenny also stresses that its branded content is just as authentic as its regular features, collaborating closely with brands to ensure the publication’s tone of voice remains strong.</p> <p>For instance, an interview with writer Helen Ellis focuses on what it’s like to be in a stressful situation – and it also happens to be sponsored by Secret Deodorant. Examples like these show how sponsored content can blend seamlessly in with the over-arching brand. Of course, it also relies on the audience’s trust in its reputation and dedication to quality journalism.</p> <p><img src="https://assets.econsultancy.com/images/0008/5695/Helen_Ellis.JPG" alt="" width="760" height="637"></p> <h3>Branching into other areas of business</h3> <p>Alongside the newsletter, Lenny also has an online shop selling branded clothing and accessories. </p> <p>Described as a place that ‘would rep grassroots feminist businesses’, it’s more of an extension of the brand’s values than a real money-making venture. Likewise, it also builds on the community element, with readers keen to wear subtly branded items like the ‘Dismantle the Patriarchy’ patch set.</p> <p><img src="https://assets.econsultancy.com/images/0008/5696/Lenny_shop.JPG" alt="" width="760" height="467"></p> <p>Lenny is not averse to expanding its presence in other areas, too. Last year, it began a <a href="https://econsultancy.com/blog/68348-three-reasons-brands-are-using-podcasts-as-part-of-their-content-marketing-strategy/" target="_blank">podcast series</a> called ‘Women of the Hour’ and it currently has a video series in the works for HBO Now.</p> <p>Naturally, it will need to tread carefully. While expansion could help to increase new subscribers, even more brand involvement or corporate sponsorship could potentially alienate existing readers invested in the core premise. </p> <p>That being said, as long as it keeps its focus firmly on what women really want to read about, I can’t see it going too far wrong.</p> <blockquote class="twitter-tweet"> <p lang="en" dir="ltr">Just read <a href="https://twitter.com/lennyletter">@lennyletter</a> interview by <a href="https://twitter.com/oliviaclement_">@oliviaclement_</a> with <a href="https://twitter.com/AnnaDeavereS">@AnnaDeavereS</a> .

It just felt a bit misjudged to me,</p> <p><img src="https://assets.econsultancy.com/images/0008/1857/John_Lewis_subject_lines.JPG" alt="" width="450" height="121"></p> <p>However, with John Lewis <a href="https://econsultancy.com/blog/68512-john-lewis-combines-tv-ad-with-snapchat-lens-and-email/" target="_blank">traditionally more focused on Christmas</a>, perhaps Black Friday was deliberately underplayed.</p> <p><img src="https://assets.econsultancy.com/images/0008/1856/John_Lewis_black_friday_2.JPG" alt="" width="430" height="528"></p> <h3>H&amp;M</h3> <p>H&amp;M's emails on and around Black Friday were strong.</p> <p>With a bold and concise message of 20% off plus free delivery - customers were left in no doubt as to what they could expect.</p> <p><img src="https://assets.econsultancy.com/images/0008/1858/H_M_black_friday.JPG" alt="" width="450" height="546"></p> <p>Furthermore, I also like the fact that its emails included editorial-inspired content, motivating customers with how they could style their bargains rather than just promoting the sale.</p> <p><img src="https://assets.econsultancy.com/images/0008/1859/H_M_2.JPG" alt="" width="450" height="569"></p> <p>The only factor that let H&amp;M down was its slightly dull subject lines.</p> <p>Not bad - just a bit lacklustre. Still, at least they're concise.</p> <p><img src="https://assets.econsultancy.com/images/0008/1861/H_M_subject_line.JPG" alt="" width="450" height="114"></p> <h3>Debenhams</h3> <p>On to Debenhams, and it demonstrated a good amount of variety in its emails.</p> <p><img src="https://assets.econsultancy.com/images/0008/1862/Debehams_black_friday.JPG" alt="" width="400" height="559"></p> <p>As well as giving customers a heads up on what was to come, it also included original content, such as a 'Top 10' deal countdown and editorial-inspired imagery.</p> <p><img src="https://assets.econsultancy.com/images/0008/1863/Debenhams_2.JPG" alt="" width="380" height="287"></p> <p>By incorporating more variety into its messaging, it feels less salesy, meaning customers are less likely to dismiss it as Black Friday noise.</p> <p><img src="https://assets.econsultancy.com/images/0008/1864/Debenhams_3.JPG" alt="" width="400" height="550"></p> <p>You can read how Debenhams' site redesign led to ecommerce sales growth <a href="https://econsultancy.com/blog/66644-how-debenhams-site-redesign-led-to-ecommerce-sales-growth/" target="_blank">in this article</a>.</p> <h3>Threadless</h3> <p>Finally, an interesting approach from US retailer Threadless.</p> <p>On the Wednesday before the event, it sent out this email offering an exclusive 40% off code that expired before the Black Friday deals began.</p> <p>While this might sound like it'd have limited impact as people would just hold out for Black Friday, it's obviously an attempt to foster customer loyalty for the long-term.</p> <p><img src="https://assets.econsultancy.com/images/0008/1869/Personal_email_threadless.JPG" alt="" width="500" height="454"></p> <p>By using a personal tone - even sending it from the Founder of the company - it is designed to make customers feel valued.</p> <p>A refreshing surprise just before Black Friday hit, it made for one of the most memorable emails of the week.</p> <p><img src="https://assets.econsultancy.com/images/0008/1871/Threadless_email.JPG" alt="" width="370" height="147"></p> <p>On to the actual Black Friday emails, and Threadless promoted it with a Christmas-themed creative.</p> <p>This could also prove effective for getting customers to think about the festive period (and why they might want to come back again soon).</p> <p><img src="https://assets.econsultancy.com/images/0008/1868/Threadless_creative_2.JPG" alt="" width="450" height="487"></p> <p>Finally, hats off to the brand for including an original and humourous subject line in its Cyber Monday email.</p> <p><img src="https://assets.econsultancy.com/images/0008/1866/Threadless_subject_line_2.JPG" alt="" width="450" height="123"></p> tag:www.econsultancy.com,2008:BlogPost/68507 2016-11-15T14:36:49+00:00 2016-11-15T14:36:49+00:00 Which vertical sector is the king of the hill for email marketing? Henry Hyder-Smith <p>In addition, 10 years of increased integration between the technologies and channels used now means better segmentation, increasingly sophisticated personalisation and customer-driven marketing.</p> <p>However, in order to make such a tactics and strategy analysis more useful for marketers it’s important to drill down until we reach the sector level.</p> <p>This way marketers can learn from each other and even cherry pick (and test) good ideas that already work in other sectors.</p> <p>Using data collected for the Adestra/Econsultancy Email Marketing Industry Census 2016 – a survey of over 1,100 digital marketers around the world - we looked at the top six sectors: Retail/Mail Order, Print/Publishing &amp; Media, Charities/Government &amp; Non-profits, Financial Services &amp; Insurance, Travel &amp; Hospitality and Technology &amp; Telecoms.</p> <p>We analysed each sector to see which are producing the best return for the budget they spend on email, the tactics and strategies they use, the time spent on them, how they focus on mobile and implement automation, and finally their outlook on the future.</p> <p>I’ve picked three sectors from the report which are notable for being best performing, most improved and showing most growth potential.</p> <h4><strong>Print, publishing &amp; media</strong></h4> <p>Yet again, the Print, Publishing &amp; Media industry has produced consistent results across the board. Publishers have seen email performance shoot up since last year (see fig.1), and they top the chart for total sales attributable to the email channel.</p> <p>They make use of the broadest number of ESP services and lead the pack in optimising email for mobile. It’s not surprising then that there is no other sector that feels more love for their ESP.</p> <p><em>Fig.1 How do you rate the performance of your company’s email campaigns? (Results show Excellent or Good)</em></p> <p><img src="https://assets.econsultancy.com/images/resized/0008/1327/2016_email_performance_sector_census-blog-flyer.png" alt="Email performance 2016 Sector Census" width="470" height="376"></p> <h4><strong>Charities, Government &amp; Not-for-Profits</strong></h4> <p>From mediocre results last year, the sector with the biggest turnaround has to be Charities, Government &amp; NFP. Their ROI is consistently higher (and now tops the chart at 84%, excellent/good ROI – see Fig.2), email performance has skyrocketed and more time is now spent on strategic activities.</p> <p><em>Fig.2 How do you rate the email channel in terms of return on investment? (Results show Excellent or Good)</em></p> <p><em><img src="https://assets.econsultancy.com/images/resized/0008/1329/2016_roi_sector_census-blog-flyer.png" alt="Email ROI 2016 Sector Census" width="470" height="329"></em></p> <h4><strong>Retail/ Mail Order</strong></h4> <p>ROI has grown considerably from last year for the Retail/Mail Order sector, and email performance is just keeping above the overall email industry average.</p> <p>Retailers also score above the industry average for mobile optimisation strategy. While they are keeping time spent on tactical activities down, they have however lost a little focus on strategy.</p> <p>Their use of tactics overall has dropped back since last year, however firms have seen modest improvements in success when implementing automated email programmes. With an eye on the future, retailers are the most innovative sector (see Fig.3), and feel most strongly about innovating with creative behavioural triggers.</p> <p><em>Fig.3 How do you intend to innovate with email in 2016?</em></p> <p><em><img src="https://assets.econsultancy.com/images/resized/0008/1328/2016_innovation_sector_census-blog-flyer.png" alt="Email Innovation 2016 Sector Census" width="470" height="339"></em></p> <h4><strong>And the king of the hill is…?</strong></h4> <p>Publishers have produced the most consistent results across the board, while charities have shown a huge upswing in both return and performance as they get to grips with more email tactics and strategies. Travel firms too have upped their game as they adopt more email tactics, data services and mobile optimisation techniques.</p> <p>Retail performance is largely middle of the road, however the sector has a great future potential if it can focus its efforts. While finance firms have experienced a rise in email performance, they are let down by not embracing email tactics or ESP services, and have low email optimisation strategies.</p> <p>Similarly, with few highpoints, tech companies are often trailing the pack in terms of how they use email and (predictably) the return it produces.</p> <p>While we can still highlight individual improvements across the board, some sectors need to use the experience and successes of their peers and look at the opportunities, services and tactics available to really make the email channel work harder for them.</p> <p>It might seem an uphill battle, but experimentation and testing are the name of the game.</p> <p><em>Subscribers can download the full <a href="https://econsultancy.com/reports/email-census/">Email Marketing Census 2016</a>.</em></p> tag:www.econsultancy.com,2008:BlogPost/68391 2016-10-13T01:00:00+01:00 2016-10-13T01:00:00+01:00 Ten ways to freshen-up your email marketing Jeff Rajeck <p>So, though it seems like email is working well, companies are not increasing investment in the channel.</p> <p> <img src="https://assets.econsultancy.com/images/0008/0002/1.png" alt="" width="701" height="340"></p> <p>One potential reason for this is that email is a legacy technology and many marketers have become comfortable with how it fits into their organisations.</p> <p><img src="https://assets.econsultancy.com/images/0008/0003/2.png" alt="" width="616" height="379"></p> <p>To others, though, email marketing is still evolving and<strong> there are a number of new best practices which can help even the most jaded email marketer.</strong></p> <p>To find out more about these, we spoke to a number of marketers about email at our recent Digital Cream Sydney and asked for ways to 'freshen-up' a stale email marketing programme.</p> <p>Here are ten tips provided by client-side marketers on the day.</p> <h3>1. Email marketing is a value exchange</h3> <p>One of the first things participants pointed out is that consumers are becoming much more savvy in managing their emails. Often, they pointed out, people have multiple email accounts to manage and ignore commercial emails.</p> <p>Because of this, email marketers should no longer send emails with a simple call-to-action and hope for the best.  </p> <p>Instead, marketers should treat an email as a 'value exchange'. This means that every email sent should answer the customer's unspoken question, 'what's in it for me'. </p> <p>Special offers, exclusive content, and event invites all provide this, according to attendees.</p> <p><img src="https://assets.econsultancy.com/images/0008/0004/email-2.jpg" alt="" width="800" height="533"></p> <h3>2. Email content must be engaging</h3> <p>In addition to providing value to get clicks and opens, marketers must also provide engaging content in order to be read.</p> <p>According to a <a href="https://litmus.com/blog/mobile-friendly-email-september-2016-email-market-share">recent report by Litmus</a>, <strong>email is most often opened on a mobile device.</strong></p> <p>Because of this, noted one participant, <strong>emails are not only in competition with other emails but with everything else available on mobile.</strong></p> <p>So, when writing emails, keep your user's short attention span in mind and make sure that the content is sharp, relevant, and to the point.</p> <h3>3. Use social media to build email lists</h3> <p>Attendees said that organisations still struggle to get email addresses from potential customers.</p> <p>While buying email addresses is now completely out of the question, many are wondering what to do to increase the size of their list.</p> <p>One participant said that social media can help. </p> <p>First off, educational advertising on social media helps drive high-quality traffic to the site. Then offering a free service or valuable information in exchange for an email address can help increase the list size.</p> <p>Also, <strong>if users need to login to your site for any reason</strong><strong>, use a social login.</strong> Then you should be able to get their email address as well as some demographic information.</p> <p>In either case, another noted, the organisation should still use an opt-in email in order to ensure that the customer is okay receiving promotional emails in the future.</p> <p><img src="https://assets.econsultancy.com/images/0008/0005/email-3.jpg" alt="" width="800" height="533"></p> <h3>4. Marketers need to get email data under control</h3> <p>Another way companies can improve their email marketing programmes is to look at the data that they use to measure effectiveness.</p> <p>With so many departments having access to email, <strong>there is often no visibility in an organisation about how many times a customer has been emailed.</strong>  </p> <p>This means that marketers have no way to gauge 'email fatigue', one of the most common reasons for unsubscribes.</p> <p>Also, another participant pointed out, <strong>most organisations do not have clarity on what click, open, and unsubscribe rates they should aim for.</strong>  </p> <p>Some do use industry benchmarks, but attendees felt that these were too general.</p> <p>Email marketers should lead the way on the benchmarks and ensure that everyone who uses email knows what data and targets they should aim for and how they can help to avoid over-emailing customers.</p> <h3>5. A/B testing makes a big difference</h3> <p>Delegates were all enthusiastic about the positive effects of using A/B testing in their email marketing programmes.</p> <p>Things marketers test include: </p> <ul> <li>Email receiver's name.</li> <li>Subject line.</li> <li>Amount of content.</li> <li>CTAs.</li> <li>Frequency. </li> </ul> <p>Out of all those, participants felt that subject line was probably the most important and encouraged others to make testing that a general practice.</p> <h3>6. Use responsive design and video in emails</h3> <p>Emails have changed a lot in the past few years. Now that many people view them on mobile email clients which support rich media, they can include HTML5 design, graphics, and even video.</p> <p><strong>Participants agreed that better-looking emails tend to perform better,</strong> but urged marketers to test emails on multiple platforms.</p> <p>One attendee noted that many email platforms still do not use responsive design as standard and so emails may not render correctly.</p> <p>Another delegate said that video has worked very well for their company, but added that <strong>all video in emails should have subtitles as well as audio.</strong></p> <p> <img src="https://assets.econsultancy.com/images/0008/0006/email-4.jpg" alt="" width="800" height="533"></p> <h3>7. Use preference centres, but be careful</h3> <p>Participants said that email marketers should use web pages where customers can update their preferences, also known as 'preference centres'.</p> <p>They can help brands keep subscribers who were about to unsubscribe and get feedback from those who do.</p> <p>Poorly-designed preference centres, however, can cause customer frustration.  </p> <p>Delegates warned that <strong>requiring customers to login to make changes or offering overwhelming options can turn what should delight customers into something which destroys brand loyalty.</strong></p> <h3>8. All employees who use email marketing should be trained</h3> <p>As email marketing has become more widely-understood in organisations, the use of the channel has become more widespread.</p> <p>What this means is that in many organisations, people who are not familiar with marketing principles often send out campaigns without abiding to the principles of good data management and integrity.</p> <p>At best this means that customers will get too many irrelevant emails and at worst, one participant warned, the organisation may be blocked by major email providers for spam.</p> <p>Because the stakes are so high, <strong>anyone who has permission to launch a campaign should be trained in email marketing</strong>.  </p> <p>At the very least they should understand email design, copywriting, audience management, and relevant spam laws.</p> <p><img src="https://assets.econsultancy.com/images/0008/0007/email-1.jpg" alt="" width="800" height="533"></p> <h3>9. Enterprise-grade email systems are becoming standard</h3> <p>Most participants on the day said that they use, or are in the process of buying, enterprise-grade email systems.</p> <p>Products mentioned included Salesforce, Oracle, and Adobe all of whom include email within their marketing clouds.  </p> <p>Mailchimp was mentioned as a high-quality product for those companies who do not send massive amounts of emails.</p> <p>Along with buying these systens though, attendees said that <strong>marketing teams need to allocate resources to learn and use the system properly.</strong></p> <p>Without proper training, one warned, the advantages of having an enterprise-grade email system will not be realised.</p> <h3>10. Email is not the future</h3> <p>Interestingly, many delegates were keen to point out that email is a legacy technology and will probably not grow in influence.</p> <p>This is because consumers now have so many other ways to find information out about brands and keep in touch with customer service.</p> <p>This means that <strong>email marketers should start to see what other services they can integrate with emails</strong>, such as <a href="https://econsultancy.com/blog/64255-why-do-online-retailers-need-live-chat/">online chat</a>, in order to keep their skills current.</p> <p>That said, another participant pointed out that email will probably never go away completely.</p> <p>To back that up, they pointed out that we still receive physical, direct mail from brands to this day.</p> <h3>A word of thanks</h3> <p>Econsultancy would like to thank all of the marketers who participated on the day and especially the moderator at the Email Marketing table, <strong>Monica Villate Escobar, Marketing Manager at Ventura Health</strong>.</p> <p>We hope to see you all at future Sydney Econsultancy events!</p> <p><img src="https://assets.econsultancy.com/images/0007/9893/hosts.jpg" alt="" width="800" height="533"></p> tag:www.econsultancy.com,2008:BlogPost/67395 2016-01-13T02:09:00+00:00 2016-01-13T02:09:00+00:00 Three things email marketing leaders do regularly [APAC case studies] Jeff Rajeck <p>In our recent <a href="https://econsultancy.com/reports/email-census">Email Marketing Industry Census 2015</a>, we discovered that email marketing is still a very popular strategy for brands globally.</p> <p>One reason for this is that email marketing offers great return on investment (ROI).  </p> <p>Two-thirds (66%) of marketers felt that their email marketing ROI was better than average, and less than one in ten (7%) of those surveyed felt it was 'poor'.</p> <p><img src="https://assets.econsultancy.com/images/resized/0007/0595/roi_from_channels-blog-flyer.png" alt="" width="470" height="414"></p> <p>The same group also felt very positive about email marketing's future. The vast majority (78%) disagreed with the statement 'Email marketing will be redundant in five years' and only 9% agreed.</p> <p>So as email marketing is maintaining its popularity, it's useful to review the state of the art occasionally for some best practices.</p> <p>And though it's interesting just to see what everyone else is doing, it's also good to use these best practices to review your own email marketing and see if it is up to scratch.</p> <p>So, for your review and reflection, here are three things which Asia-Pacific email marketing leaders do regularly, each with a relevant case study.</p> <h3>1. They come up with a strategy first, then tactics</h3> <p>When thinking about all the things that you can do with email, it's easy to focus on the tactics. Tactics, after all, are where you provide value to the customer and get metrics to report upwards.</p> <p>And there are plenty of guides to help you with tactics. You can find dozens of blog posts telling you <a href="https://econsultancy.com/blog/64878-45-words-to-avoid-in-your-email-marketing-subject-lines/">how to write a better subject line</a> or about <a href="https://econsultancy.com/blog/62688-six-case-studies-and-infographics-on-the-optimal-time-to-send-emails/">the optimal time to send emails</a>.</p> <p>But without a good strategy, it's hard to know which tactics to use.</p> <p>And once your campaign is finished, it's much harder to analyse the effectiveness without referring to the original strategy.</p> <h4>OK, but what is an email marketing strategy?</h4> <p>There are many types of marketing strategies, but for email marketing one of the best is the segmenting, targeting, and positioning (or STP) approach.</p> <p>For a full explanation of STP, there are excellent resources available (<a href="http://www.slideshare.net/crisanthony/plenus-stp">here's one</a>), but here is a short description of how STP relates to email marketing.</p> <p>There are three steps to this approach: </p> <ol> <li> <strong>Segment</strong>: Divide your email list into exhaustive and mutually exclusive segments.</li> <li> <strong>Target</strong>: Decide which of your offers is most appropriate for each segment.</li> <li> <strong>Position</strong>: Then plan to communicate the value your offer provides to the targeted segment.</li> </ol> <p>How you execute on the strategy, the tactics, should be geared towards capturing the information you need to segment and delivering your offer to the intended target.</p> <p>It's fairly simple, but too often marketing departments lose sight of their original strategy and execute tactics without knowing why they are doing it.</p> <h4>Thai Airways: Strategy in practice</h4> <p>A good example of a company that had a <a href="https://www.marketingmag.com.au/hubs-c/jetting-towards-brand-loyalty/">clear strategic vision ahead of a tactical email marketing campaign</a> is Thai Airways.</p> <p>In order to re-activate its Australian customer base, Thai Airways sent an email to its Australian customers about a contest to win a free trip.  </p> <p>To enter the contest, though, participants had to tell Thai Airways when they were available to travel.</p> <p>But instead of just using this data for the contest, Thai airways then segmented its customer base using the customers' preferred travel dates.</p> <p>Then, it sent targeted emails to each segment with an offer positioned to appeal to each customer's personal travel time frame.</p> <p>In short, Thai Airways </p> <ol> <li>Segmented its customers by travel date preference.</li> <li>Targeted those customers with a travel offer relevant to their preferences.</li> <li>Positioned the fare using a personalized email highlighting the offer and the travel dates.</li> </ol> <p> <img src="https://assets.econsultancy.com/images/0007/0596/Picture4.png" alt="" width="389" height="656"></p> <p>The results were great. Through using STP Thai Airways was able to increase the average open rate of its emails to 40%, well above the Australian industry standard of 16 to 24%.</p> <p>But more interesting than the results is how the team at Thai Airways: </p> <ul> <li>Thought about what product they wanted to position (time-sensitive travel deals),</li> <li>Worked out how to get the data they needed to segment their email list,</li> <li>And executed using a personalized email. </li> </ul> <p>Thai Airways truly executed a strategy-driven, tactical campaign.</p> <h3>2. They use customer behaviour to trigger emails</h3> <p>Brands gather customer data in other ways besides surveys though, too. Many companies are now using customer behaviour in order to better segment and target their customer base.</p> <p>For example, many businesses now send emails to customers who have 'abandoned' an online shopping cart on their site.  </p> <p>Our email survey indicated that nearly two in five (37%) used this tactic in 2015, nearly twice as many who did so in 2013 (20%).</p> <p>But there are other behaviors which can used to trigger an email to improve customer experience.  </p> <h4>Zuji's behavioural approach</h4> <p>Zuji, an Asian online travel site, <a href="http://www.experian.com.sg/resources/zuji-case-study-overview.html">sends emails which are triggered by browsing behaviour on its website</a>.  </p> <p>That is, when someone registered at Zuji clicks on a link or conducts a flight search, Zuji records the behavior and associates it with the person's email.</p> <p>Then, should Zuji's algorithm determine that the customer needs more information or perhaps a special offer, Zuji's email systems sends a personalized message.</p> <p>According to a recent case study, using behavioural emails resulted in a 50-fold improvement on revenue per thousand emails.</p> <p><img src="https://assets.econsultancy.com/images/resized/0007/0597/capture-blog-flyer.png" alt="" width="470" height="467"></p> <p>But more than just increasing revenue, personalized emails are also a great way of improving the customer experience.</p> <p>Getting relevant, personalized information when you're in the research stage is almost always welcomed by customers.  </p> <p>And it's not surprising that doing so led to more sales for Zuji.</p> <h3>3. They keep their email list clean</h3> <p>And finally, in order for these programs to work continuously, top brands put a lot of effort into keeping their mailing list clean.</p> <p>One big part of maintaining a clean email list is monitoring the bounces when you send a campaign.  </p> <p>Just in case you weren't aware, every email campaign should have a 'bounce report' which tells you why an email couldn't be delivered to one of your customers.</p> <p>Sometimes, things happen out of your control. The customer may have closed their account or moved jobs. Or the company may have gone out of business and the domain is now invalid.</p> <p>But quite often you can fix the problem. The bounce may have been caused by a misspelling or the addition of an invalid character, such as a space. </p> <p>If you monitor your bounce report regularly, you can fix these manually and 'rescue' the email address quickly.</p> <p>But more serious problems can be identified from the bounce report, as well.  </p> <p>Your domain may have been, unknowingly, blacklisted by a major email provider such as Hotmail or Gmail. This means that your emails will either be delivered to spam folders for people who use those services, or not at all.</p> <h4>Estée Lauder: Improving deliverability</h4> <p>Estée Lauder in Malaysia <a href="http://www.experian.com.my/assets/resources/case-studies/estee-lauder-malaysia-case-study.pdf">had a big problem</a>. Its emails had a bounce rate of 14.1% on average and ran as high as 21.6%. This meant that, at times, Estée Lauder was not able to deliver email to one in five people on its list!</p> <p>To improve deliverability, Estée Lauder implemented new email software (CheetahMail) and went to work on reducing bounces.</p> <p>First, the system validated its existing list and then deployed a bounce management scheme which removed emails which frequently bounced.</p> <p>But another problem it addressed was deliverability. This involved working with a high-quality email service provider (ESP) who had good relationships with major email providers and making sure that all of their anti-spam policies were being followed.</p> <p>Then, the emails it sent were far more likely to be delivered to recipients in their inbox, and not as spam.</p> <p>The results were that Estée Lauder reduced its email bounce rate from over 10% to under 1%.</p> <p><img src="https://assets.econsultancy.com/images/resized/0007/0598/picture2-blog-flyer.jpg" alt="" width="470" height="473"></p> <p>Now, it is easy see this and think you don't have a problem with a bounces. Most companies already have bounce rates under 1%.  </p> <p>But maintaining focus on deliverability is still important as every email which bounces is a lost opportunity for better ROI.  </p> <p>In fact, cleaning your email list is probably one of the most underrated and effective email marketing tactics for improving ROI.</p> <p>It's also a great place for to start looking for issues if you feel like your email campaigns aren't working as well as they used to.</p> <h3>So...</h3> <p>Brands that do email marketing well tend to have strategies before tactics, use multiple data sources when targeting emails, and use many tactics to keep their email list clean.</p> <p>If you could only do one of these, though, conducting strategic analysis of your email list before executing tactics is probably the most important.  </p> <p>You can try all the tricks to improve open and click rates through A/B testing subject lines and body copy, but a good strategy is a much better way to spend your scarce time and resources.</p> <p>This means segmenting your list into meaningful groups, coming up with offers specifically for the segment, and then positioning it in a way which appeals to them.</p> <p>Doing so is the shortest path to improving email marketing ROI and boosting your email marketing program up with the best in the industry.</p> tag:www.econsultancy.com,2008:BlogPost/67306 2015-12-10T11:10:00+00:00 2015-12-10T11:10:00+00:00 Is Pinterest or Instagram better for driving ecommerce? Georges Berzgal <p>However, what hasn’t always been obvious is how to convert these followers into sales.</p> <p>Both platforms recently developed new tools to more easily facilitate commerce across the board.</p> <p>So what are the inherent benefits of services like Pinterest and Instagram, and which provides the best platform for commerce?</p> <h3>Target audiences</h3> <p>It’s no secret that brands looking to target female consumers see the benefits of embracing social media.</p> <p><a href="http://www.entrepreneur.com/article/231970">Women are 10% more</a> likely than men to show brand support and 17% more likely to access offers on social media, although <a href="http://digitalmarketingmagazine.co.uk/social-media-marketing/is-the-social-buy-button-poised-to-take-off/2766">research found</a> that men are slightly more interested in purchasing directly on social networks by using a social buy button than women (33 % vs. 30%).</p> <p>All social media networks, bar LinkedIn, have more female users than male, although women’s domination of social media is not equally spread across all networks.</p> <p>Figures suggest that <a href="http://www.conversedigital.com/digital-strategy/should-my-company-be-on-instagram-or-pinterest">Pinterest’s users are 70% and Instagram’s users are 55% female.</a></p> <h3>Buyable Pins</h3> <p>Pinterest launched <a href="https://econsultancy.com/blog/66529-pinterest-enables-ecommerce-with-buyable-pins/">Buyable Pins</a> earlier this year, allowing consumers to purchase items without leaving the platform, and to pay using Apple Pay or credit cards.</p> <p>With a <a href="http://expandedramblings.com/index.php/pinterest-stats/">user base of 70m</a> made-up largely of consumers who are the most active and engaged, it’s no surprise that Pinterest is often seen as the social network with the highest potential for ecommerce.</p> <p><img src="https://assets.econsultancy.com/images/0006/9879/buyable_pins.jpg" alt="" width="700" height="466"></p> <h3>Instagram's buy button</h3> <p>However, the truth, as unveiled by research from member-based business intelligence firm L2, is that Instagram actually <a href="http://business.financialpost.com/investing/trading-desk/how-instagram-is-becoming-a-must-have-for-retailers?__lsa=6904-3bfd">has the highest browser-to-shopper conversion rate</a> of the social media outlets it tracks.</p> <p>This is all the more impressive considering that Instagram only allows brands to link to their website from their profile page.</p> <p><img src="https://assets.econsultancy.com/images/0006/9878/instagram_ads.jpg" alt="" width="700"></p> <p>The introduction of the Instagram ‘buy button’ sounded like a shift for the network.</p> <p>It is not available on regular Instagram posts yet, but limited to <a href="https://econsultancy.com/blog/66689-how-brands-are-using-instagram-ads/">the recently-introduced ad platform</a>.</p> <p>So if consumers see an item on the brand’s Instagram page they would like to purchase, they still have to search for the item on the retailer’s website to be able to buy it.</p> <h3>So, why is Instagram better at converting browsers to shoppers?</h3> <p>The answer is two-fold. What Pinterest promises is a channel through which brands can speak to women in a way that they like being spoken to.</p> <p>From our experience with clients, marketing messages with gender specific content are five times more successful than unisex messages.</p> <p>Brands understand the need to target consumers by gender, what seems odd is that brands are excited to segregate their female-targeted messages onto an entirely separate platform. </p> <p>Instagram, on the other hand, has a much more level gender split, allowing brands to target both men and women through the same platform by separating their content through gender specific accounts.</p> <p>Apparel retailers like Nike and ASOS are amongst the pioneers of this approach to Instagram, and it makes total sense. Why would you split your product by gender in-store, but then present it all together online?</p> <p><img src="https://assets.econsultancy.com/images/0006/9880/Screen_Shot_2015-12-10_at_11.08.21.png" alt="" width="700"></p> <p>It is more difficult for retailers to push their products openly on Instagram, which is the second, counter-intuitive reason why the platform is better for driving commerce.</p> <p>Brands publish content on Instagram that describes the lifestyle and culture of the company; it is the social network where retailers can forge an emotional connection with consumers.</p> <p>With our own customers we often see marketing messages with an absence of product promotion bringing in the most revenue.</p> <p>Messages promoting the culture behind the brand – be it a tie in with another brand or a connection to the local community – have proven to be extremely effective at driving engagement and revenue.</p> <p>Pinterest has been under pressure to bring commerce to the front of its platform for some time.</p> <p>Buyable pins move Pinterest towards becoming an aggregator of ecommerce, something akin to a digital shopping centre.</p> <p>This is by no means a bad thing, either for brands or consumers, but this evolution also moves Pinterest away from its social origins.</p> <p>Brands looking to tap into Instagram for ecommerce must keep in mind that the logical benefits of a product are often outweighed by a decision based on emotion.</p> <p>Social media allows brands to share their brand story in a way that retail space and owned websites often cannot offer, and for this reason a targeted Instagram account looks to be the better choice for driving revenue now, and potentially in the future.</p>
Japanese Wages Slump Record 7.1% as Companies Slash Bonuses 1. Japan’s wages fell at the fastest pace on record in June as companies cut bonuses to protect dwindling profits, adding to evidence that consumers are unlikely to contribute to an economic recovery. Monthly wages including overtime and bonuses dropped 7.1 percent from a year earlier to 430,620 yen ($4,500), the sharpest decline since the survey began in 1990, the Labor Ministry said today in Tokyo. Bonuses shrank 14.5 percent. Less money to spend... 2. It's slightly interesting that the survey was established near the all-time high of their market........(when new "surveys" are created, be careful.) :cool: 3. It's okay: The U.S. Government will pass a CFJ bill. 'Cash for Japanese.' 4. Will Lexus vehicles be eligible for purchase in that program? :confused: 5. achilles28 This is something to take notice. Wages are sticky. Prices aren't. To see such a big drop in wages, that's significant. Perhaps not alarming, as bonus pay and overtime appears to be a large part of Japanese wage structure? 6. That's much more alarming : Japan's core consumer price index fell 0.2% in June, or 1.7% lower than a year earlier, the Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications said Friday. he ministry also said that average household spending fell in June by 1.7% from the year before, in nominal terms to 277,237 yen ($2,901). Adjusted for inflation, however, real household spending inched 0.2% higher. Adjusted for "inflation" ???? LOL !!!! Lower wages,alarmingly lower prices and falling household spending reminds me of what exactly...?:confused: 7. A bunch of "Public Relations People" who are unfamiliar with the concept of deflation, even after the 1990's. :cool:

new icn messageflickr-free-ic3d pan white Iceland - Strokkur - Geysir's Smaller Brother | by Ben124. Back to photostream Iceland - Strokkur - Geysir's Smaller Brother There is only one Icelandic word used in the English language: geyser. Though the word refers to all geysers in general, it comes from a single geyser (in fact, the geyser) located in the South West of Iceland. Unfortunately, the Great Geysir has been somewhat shy in recent decades, though on special occasions it can sometimes be coaxed into a performance with some soap. When Geysir does perform, it lives up to its name, spraying a jet of steaming water 200 feet skyward. Far more reliable, though less spectacular, is nearby Strokkur (“the churn”), which spouts a 60-100 foot jet about once every five minutes. The geyser area is also rich in walking paths that lead past steaming vents and colourful, mineral-rich mud formations. The whole area is a geothermal park sitting on top of a vast boiling cauldron. Belching sulphurous mud pots of unusual colours, hissing steam vents, hot and cold springs, warm streams, and primitive plants can all be found here. We stopped at the geothermal area of Geysir, the geyser for which all geysers are named. The famous Geysir now only erupts after large earthquakes and last erupted in 2000. Its little brother, Strokkur, erupts much more frequently, about 6-8 minutes apart. . People gather around the geyser and stare at the mouth, watching the water boil, in full anticipation with cameras ready. If you turn away, you’ll miss it. When you take a photo of one there are not that many ways to come up with unique composition. You can try a longer exposure of 1sec to give it slightly softer feel. You have to be ready even if it means standing still waiting for the eruption for up to 20 min with the camera in the right position. The geyser spouts upward close to 30 meter high and then it’s done. Sometimes there is a smaller spurt immediately before the large eruption. Why does a geyser erupt? What will become of Geysir? The water level in the Geysir has been artificially lowered, but recent volcanic activity has reactivated it, so Geysir has somewhat found it's renewed life. Unfortunately, Geysir now erupts to no specific timetable. 24 faves Taken on October 23, 2009
Why are we there? Glastonbury Festival enjoys a relatively crime-free existence and some parts still hark back to the early days of peace, love and free milk. However, there will be more than 200,000 people at the festival. This is bigger than plenty of towns across the United Kingdom and no-one would question why those towns had police officers stationed there. In a gathering of such size, there are unfortunately one or two bad apples and the police would be remiss not to have a presence at the festival and make sure that the vast majority of people enjoy a happy festival, with crime the last thing on their minds. Policing Team 5 In all seriousness, a policing presence at the festival is essential to the granting of the licence needed to hold the festival. After historic problems including public order, overcrowding, crime and safety problems, the festival had questions to answer from the police before a licence would be granted for another festival. The solid steel fence which now surrounds the whole site was a massive step forward in public order and safety of those inside and outside the festival and has done a lot to make policing the festival an easier task. However, the need for policing is still there, unfortunately there still is crime at the festival. There needn’t be though – with your help, we can make Glastonbury Festival all about peace and love, and not about who might nick your iPhone. Keep it safe, keep it hidden, keep it. • To report non emergencies call 101 or report online

Intel® Streaming SIMD Extensions Technology Last Reviewed: 25-Jul-2017 Article ID: 000005779 What are Intel® Streaming SIMD Extensions? • Single Instruction Multiple Data (SIMD) • Intel® Streaming SIMD Extensions (Intel® SSE) Streaming SIMD Extensions (SSE) SSE is a processor technology that enables single instruction multiple data. Older processors only process a single data element per instruction. SSE enables the instruction to handle multiple data elements. It is used in intensive applications, such as 3D graphics, for faster processing. Streaming SIMD Extensions 2 (SSE2) SSE2 extends the MMX Technology and SSE technology with the addition of 144 instructions that deliver performance increases across a broad range of applications. The SIMD integer instructions introduced with MMX technology have been extended from 64 to 128 bits, doubling the effective execution rate of SIMD integer type operations. Double-precision floating point SIMD instructions allow simultaneous execution of two floating-point operations in the SIMD format This support for double-precision operations helps accelerate content creation, financial, engineering, and scientific applications. Original SSE instructions are also enhanced to support a flexible and higher dynamic range of computational power by supporting arithmetic operations on multiple data types (for example, double words and quad words). SSE2 instructions allow software developers maximum flexibility to implement algorithms and provide performance enhancements when running software such as MPEG-2, MP3, 3D graphics, and more.

The mesenteric arteries supply blood to the small and large intestines; when these narrow or are blocked, blood flow is restricted and can cause abdominal pain, vomiting, and diarrhea. Two types exist: • Chronic mesenteric artery ischemia is treated by removing the blockage and reconnecting the arteries to the aorta. A bypass around the blockage can be created with a plastic tube graft. Mesenteric artery ischemia is often seen in conjunction with hardened arteries in other parts of the body (for example, those with coronary artery disease or peripheral vascular disease). The condition is more common in smokers and in patients with high blood pressure or blood cholesterol. Make an Appointment Phone: 202-342-2400
Working out a repayment plan for your borrowing It’s crucial to work out the total cost of the credit you’re taking out, including interest payments, and not just the amount you’re borrowing or how much you can afford to pay every month. Taking the time to work out the full cost of any borrowing lets you plan your finances and ensure that you really can afford it. What affects your borrowing costs How much you’ll pay to borrow money depends on how much you need and how quickly you plan to repay it. For example, if you want to borrow a small amount over a short period of time with a low interest rate, you might well pay very little interest (or none at all if you use a credit card charging 0% interest). On the other hand, borrowing a large amount of money over a long time will cost you more. In general, use the APR to compare products. The lower the APR the better, but also look at how much it will cost overall. This will usually be more for a longer-term loan even if the APR is less, and will show as the total amount payable. Borrowing options Let’s look at an example. John needs to borrow £1,000 to replace his old boiler. He gets a quote from a big energy company for the boiler and the installation, including paying back the cost over two years. However, when he reads the contract he notices that if he takes out their credit for two years he will pay more than £300 in interest. John looks around at other options. As he has a good credit rating, he considers: • Taking out a credit card with an introductory interest-free period of 15 months on new purchases, or • Applying for a personal loan with an interest rate of 10% that he can pay back over two years This is how much John might have to repay each month and overall: Option Interest rate Monthly repayment Total amount repayable Credit card over 15 months 0% £66.67 £1,000 Personal loan over two years 10% £46.14 £1,107 (£1,000 borrowed + £107 interest) Energy company credit agreement over two years 30% £55.91 £1,342 (£1,000 borrowed + £342 interest) In the end, John takes a look at his monthly budget and decides that he can afford to take out the credit card and pay the extra £10.76 each month to avoid having to pay any interest. It means he will have paid off the balance in 15 months and he won’t have been charged interest. John will only save money because he knows he can make the payments within the 15 months. If you don’t think you would be able to do that, a credit card could cost you more. What this table shows is the difference in repayment plans over different periods of time and how being able to pay a little more each month might mean you’re able to take out a much cheaper form of credit. It also highlights the importance of shopping around for credit and not just taking the first product you are offered. Always spend some time shopping around for credit. Use comparison websites to look at different deals. Be aware of any extra charges or fees. All loans should tell you how much you’ll pay back overall, including any interest. Regular versus flexible payments A loan agreement will have an amount you have to pay back every month. It might charge an early repayment fee if you do clear it ahead of time. Repaying your loan early at any time, in full or part, can be a good way of minimising cost. • If you took the loan out before 1 February 2011, the most you can be charged is two months’ interest. • If you took the loan out after 1 February 2011, by law no fee can be charged for early repayment. That is unless the amount repaid early exceeds £8000. Even then, the amount is capped. You can ask the lender for a ‘settlement statement’ showing how much you’ill save by repaying early. Other forms of borrowing such as overdrafts and credit cards are more flexible with low or no minimum repayment. But the interest rates on these tend to be higher and some overdrafts charge an initial arrangement fee. Pros of regular repayments • Repaying a regular fixed amount might help you budget. • You know exactly when you will have cleared the debt. • You should be able to repay your loan early with no penalty (or early repayment charge) as long as you overpay less than £8,000 in a year (unless you took it out before 1st February 2011, when a penalty of – typically – two months’ interest might apply). • Regular payments might make it harder to budget if your income fluctuates. Calculating the cost of borrowing You can work out how much it will cost you to borrow if you take out a loan or a credit card using the information that lenders have to give you. By law, when you apply they must tell you: • How much you’ll have to repay in total • How much you’ll have to pay every month • The interest rates, any fees or charges and the APR You should find this information on the credit card or loan company’s website. It must also be in the pre-contract credit information form (the SECCI). If it’s not on the website, the firm will need to send it to you before you enter into the agreement and explain key elements of the agreement. In the case of credit cards, this will be based on certain assumptions about how you’ll use the card. You can also use an online calculator to work out the true cost of any borrowing – and it will only take a few minutes. Make sure you keep up with your repayments If you miss any repayments you could be hit by fees and additional charges. It could also harm your credit rating because lenders look at how you’ve managed your existing credit when working out whether or not to lend you money. Make sure there is enough money in your bank/building society account each month to cover your repayments and set up a regular standing order (for a fixed amount) or Direct Debit (if the payments vary) so you don’t miss a payment.

Search Google Appliance The Oregonian: Measuring the return on investing in a college degree Author: Scott Dawson, dean of the PSU School of Business Administration Posted: January 2, 2013 Read the original column in The Oregonian here.  Public higher education is under more pressure than ever to perform. State funding has declined sharply in recent years, triggering tuition increases and increasing demands from students and families for a quantifiable return on their investment. As dean of the School of Business Administration at Portland State University, I understand the ROI perspective. I also see an increasing number of international students from Asia, the Middle East and other places flocking to U.S. universities at greater expense and seeking the same return on investment. At PSU, for instance, we educate more than 470 Saudi Arabian students, who pay about three times more tuition than Oregon students. The Saudi government is paying for 40,000 students to attend U.S. universities with the goal that they will return with skills to help diversify their economy, which is now roughly 80 percent dependent on oil. China, Korea, Japan, India and other nations also know that the best investment in economic development is a college education for their young people. That's true here as well. Research shows that lifetime earnings for a U.S. college graduate are 2.3 times higher on average than for those without a degree. Yet in Oregon, we have been steadily disinvesting in higher education. Five years ago, the state allocated $847 million to the Oregon University System, or 7.7 percent of the 2007-09 general fund. That amount has been cut to $669 million during the current biennium, only 4.9 percent of the general fund. While state support has dwindled, the costs to educate students have remained about the same when adjusted for inflation, but those costs have shifted dramatically from the state to the student. As The Oregonian pointed out in a recent series, many students graduate with debt at a time when the economy is not creating enough well-paying jobs. In the long run, those graduates will get jobs, repay their debt and move up the economic ladder. But the state shoulders some of the responsibility for their debt burden. We do too. At PSU, access to higher education is crucial to our urban mission, and making college affordable means making our best effort to hold down tuition increases. So we and other universities are looking at other funding sources to make up the difference in lost state funding, such as private philanthropy and aggressively recruiting out-of-state and international students, who pay higher tuition. The benefits include a more diverse campus that helps make the world smaller for the next generation of leaders. But there is also some perverse logic at work here -- we pursue our urban mission of providing access to Oregonians in part by attracting more international students who are not likely to stay and contribute to the Oregon economy. We and other universities are developing efficiencies and cost-cutting measures, but the state cuts have been too deep, and our growth demands have increased each year. Enrollment at Oregon's seven public universities, for instance, has soared by nearly 20,000 students in the past five years, surpassing 100,000 students. Other strategies being developed by PSU and other universities include designing high-quality interactive courses and programs for online delivery, program design maps, extensive advising and creating guarantees to students to ensure they can graduate in four years, which saves them significant money and time. The Legislature convenes next month and will take up K-12 and higher education funding during a period when Oregon's economy is slowly recovering. The governor has recommended moderate budget increases in education, including boosting the Oregon Opportunity Grants that help low-income Oregonians pay for college. Restoring some of the cuts to universities is a critical step toward ensuring a better return on investment for Oregon's economic future.
The postpartum risk that many moms don’t know about Special to The Globe and Mail When you give birth you are expecting a baby to come out, and then the placenta. Not many moms are expecting their bladder or uterus to come out – most don’t even know this is possible. Pregnancy and childbirth are risk factors for a condition known as pelvic organ prolapse. Studies show that 50 per cent of women who have given birth one or more times will have some degree of prolapse but it is likely even higher given the low reporting rate and lack of awareness. In simple terms a prolapse is the progressive descent of the internal organs (the bladder, the uterus or the rectum) into and eventually out of the vagina. It occurs in stages, with the first and second stages often being asymptomatic, so many women don’t even know they have a problem until it progresses to stage 3, when the organ is at the vaginal opening and may even bulge out periodically on exertion, or stage 4, when the organ is bulging right out of the vaginal opening. Early stage prolapse is sometimes reversible and is very manageable. But once the prolapse progresses to stage 3 or 4, it becomes life altering and may require surgery – surgery that can in turn cause other challenges and potentially lead to more operations. Prevention and early detection are key when it comes to pelvic organ prolapse. Here are some possible symptoms to look for: • low back pain • a feeling of heaviness in the lower abdomen • discomfort with sex • difficulty starting the flow of urine • difficulty emptying the bladder • inability to completely empty the rectum. As the descent of the organs continues, symptoms may progress to: • feeling like you are sitting on a golf ball • feeling like something is falling out • heaviness that gets worse as the day progresses • tampons getting pushed out • difficulty inserting a tampon. The best thing a woman can do to prevent prolapse (and any pelvic floor dysfunction for that matter) is to see a pelvic floor physiotherapist, ideally prior to conception, then during pregnancy, then at six weeks postpartum and then annually. Visit www.pelviennewellness.com for a list of pelvic floor physiotherapists across Canada. They assess the pelvic floor muscles for function and the internal organs to see if they are where they should be. If a prolapse is found, a number of lifestyle management options would be presented. Stand, sit and move with a neutral pelvis If your posture is such that your pelvis is not aligned with your breathing diaphragm, then you will be given tips on how to stand, move and sit properly which in turn will make the pelvic floor exercises more effective. Most baby carriers encourage poor posture, so ensure your physiotherapist shows you the proper form while you are holding and carrying your baby as well. Avoid heavy lifting Heavy lifting causes an increase in intra-abdominal pressure and if your core (pelvic floor) can’t manage that pressure, then your organs will continue to move down and eventually out. Generally anything over 15 pounds may be too strenuous for some, and most moms are “heavy lifting” many times a day. Work with your pelvic floor physiotherapist to develop strategies for proper core activation to make lifting safer. Explore a pessary A pessary is a device inserted high into the vagina that supports the its walls and the organs. There are many different sizes and shapes, and it may take a few tries to find the right one, but once you do, it can allow the muscles to function better and provide relief from the discomfort of prolapse. Avoid crunches Crunches are the standard “go to” exercise for losing the mummy tummy but they increase intra-abdominal pressure pushing the abdomen outward and the pelvic organs downward. With each crunch, the bulging bladder or uterus is pushed further south. Having a prolapse does not mean all exercise should be halted, it just needs to be modified. Some great options for prolapse-friendly exercise are: The hypopresive method A series of hypopresive postures (meaning “without pressure”) done with rhythmic breathing and apneas (pauses in breathing) that improve resting tone in the abdomen and pelvic floor and may even reverse early stage prolapse. Visit www.metodohipopresivo.com. The buoyancy from water is a welcome relief from the downward draw of being upright against gravity all day. The water also provides resistance, making it a great way to train your muscles without the heavy lifting. Yoga in general is thought of as gentle but there are some styles that may be too strenuous for unsupported organs. Opt for yin yoga, restorative yoga or gentle hatha when living with prolapse.

So far I have come up with the following constraints, but I'm not even sure if they are correct: 1. The equation holds for only closed systems at constant pressure 2. The equations holds only for systems in which the free energy depends only on P and T. 3. The equation doesn't apply on mixtures or supercooled liquids. 2. jcsd 3.

Dismiss Notice Join Physics Forums Today! Double Pendulum with motor between segments 1. Apr 8, 2009 #1 Hello everyone, First, I must apologize in advance as I am no physicist, and am unable to be of any help in physics to anyone else at a high level. I have a general knowledge of a wide range of subjects, and I have a problem that I need to understand better. So, with that said, here is my question. I'm interested in the concept of momentum transfer between segments of a double pendulum system. Essentially conservation of momentum.. right? One segment decelerates while the other accelerates. First question. Does one segment give up it's momentum to the next, or does one segment draw momentum from the other. Is this just semantics? Second question. Both segments are interacting with one another through a pivot point. One segment slows down while the next segment speeds up. Let's change the scenario though. What would happen if there was a motor between the links at the pivot point forcefully causing the angle of the joint to change. In this case how would the transfer of momentum be affected between the segments? Would it just speed up? I know i've most likely done a hatchet job to some physics terms in writing this out, so I hope you get the gist of what i'm trying to ask, But any help would be much appreciated. Thank You 2. jcsd 3. Apr 8, 2009 #2 Andy Resnick User Avatar Science Advisor Education Advisor 2016 Award What you are describing is a fairly complicated system- complicated because the range of possible motions and behaviors of such a system is quite vast: stable oscillations, unstable, chaotic oscillations... to name three. To answer question 1, I don't think it's correct to divide up the system like that- the two segments do not act independently of the other (except, perhaps, as a limiting case). Rather, the total momentum is the only well-defined measure. How it is partitioned among the internal degrees of freedom, and how that varies in time, can probably be written down (most easily by working in terms of Lagrangian or Hamiltonian mechanics). For question 2, what you describe is a phenomenon that can be modeled by 'negative friction' (Froude's pendulum). The dynamics are incredibly complex. Does that help? 4. Apr 9, 2009 #3 soceric, perhaps you are thinking of the energy rather than momentum? If one bob is oscillating more rapidly, and then over time the other is, then could we say that the kinetic energy is transferring from one to the other? One thing to keep in mind is that pendulums are difficult to model by conservation of momentum because there are net external forces on the pendulum. Strictly speaking, when a bob reverses direction because it's reached its peak height, the entire Earth moves (imperceptibly) to compensate.

Feb 22, 2016 #1 A block is sliding with an initial velocity of 7.3 m/s along a frictionless horizontal surface when it then goes up an incline of 51.5 degrees that does have friction. If the kinetic friction coefficient is 0.1 then how far along the incline (hypotenuse) will the object travel before it stops? Θ = 51.5° µ(k) = 0.1 v(initial) = 7.3 m/s v(final) = 0 ...because the question asks at what point will it stop, meaning there is no more speed. g = 9.81 d = ? m = ? a = ? ...i do not know if i even need acceleration F = ?

The way the diagram is drawn, the transition from horizontal to inclined motion is sudden, implying a non-conservative impact.

I have always wondered how to actually proof that (Z,+) is a group? Definitions for a group from wikipedia: I'm especially interested in two things: 1) Why does the associative law hold for (Z,+), that is a+(b+c) = (a+b)+c for a,b,c in Z. And moreover: 2) Why is closure fulfilled? That is, if a and b in Z, then a+b is also in Z. 2. jcsd 3. Sep 25, 2006 #2 In order to prove that addition on integers is commutative and that they are closed under addition, you need to use the definition of addition on the integers. However, in order to define addition you need to know how the integers are constructed. You can construct the natural numbers as a sequence of sets, and define addition. You can then construct the integers from the natural numbers, and define addition on the integers using the addition you've already defined on the natural numbers. The wikipedia pages on natural numbers and integers have some of the details. 4. Sep 25, 2006 #3 User Avatar Staff Emeritus Science Advisor Gold Member Just to emphasize the importance of stating from which definition you're working -- in many contexts I would define the integers as "the free ring on zero generators"... in which case the additive group structure is trivial. 5. Sep 25, 2006 #4 How is that the case? Don't the integers have one generator? Either 1 or -1. Why isn't the ring with zero generators the trivial ring? 6. Sep 25, 2006 #5 User Avatar Staff Emeritus Science Advisor Gold Member Because it's not free -- it satisfies a nontrivial relation amongst its elements. (in particular, 0 = 1) For a ring R to be freely generated by the empty set, that means: For any ring S, any function {} --> S extends uniquely to a homomorphism R --> S. (There is, of course, only one function {} --> S) If you plug in R = Z, you'll find the above is satisfied. If you plug in R = 0, you'll find it's not satisfied. (In fact, if 0 --> S is a homomorphism, then S = 0) 7. Sep 25, 2006 #6 So is this equivalent to saying that R has a basis? That was what I thought a free ring was. And how does Z have zero generators? 8. Sep 25, 2006 #7 User Avatar Staff Emeritus Science Advisor Gold Member Because it's generated by the empty set. ({1} is also a generating set for Z, of course, but Z is not the free ring on one object) {} is clearly a subset of Z. What is the subring of Z generated by {}? Recall that it's the intersection of all subrings of Z that contain every element in {}. The only subring of Z is Z itself -- so {} generates Z. 9. Sep 25, 2006 #8 Okay, I think I see this. I was thinking of generating sets in terms of groups, and was trying to generate Z with addition. But that's not right. So the free ring on one generator would be Z[x], right? On the level of groups, 1 or -1 generate Z, correct? So Z is the free group on one generator. 10. Sep 25, 2006 #9 User Avatar Staff Emeritus Science Advisor Gold Member Sounds right; I think things don't get annoying until you have two generators.

Why is this important? For two reasons: a) because effective teaching should include multi-media elements and b) building digital content that teachers can archive on their wikis or class websites is easier today than ever before. My class wikis are turning 4 years old this year and I've accumulated an impressive amount of digital content, both from my students' efforts and my own. Flipping classroom instruction is garnering much attention and despite some controversy from inconclusive research, many teachers are setting out to build elements of the 'flipped classroom' into their instructional design. That means videos or some multi-media presentation will become as important to teachers in the 21st century as paper was in the 20th! We need to learn how to make effective instructional videos. Correction; I need to improve my own videos. When I look back over my instructional multi-media designs since 2008, I run the gamut of emotions from embarrassment (OMG, how terrible is that!) to indifference (ho, hum, boring) to satisfaction (hmm, not bad that one!). So, I have committed to trying out a new screencasting program on my Mac (the past ones were made on PC) and will report my progress on the blog. More importantly though, will be the implementation of multi-media design principles from studies done by Richard Mayer, an educational cognitive psychologist at the University of California (UCSB). Since the late 90s, he has been researching 'cognitive overload' and 'dual processing system'; information comes to the brain through both the eyes and the ears, hence the 'dual' system. Processing information and holding it in working memory long enough to make 'sense' of it is the brain's challenge. The teacher's challenge, or anyone designing instructional videos, is avoiding the deadly brain shut-down that happens when too much information is aimed at the students. Mayer proposes simple design principles that I will explore in the coming weeks and shamefully (or not) share my attempts at integrating these ideas in my videos. You can give me a thumbs up or down, or maybe just some honest feedback. I know my students will do the same!
| The poetry of reality| |We must know. | We will know. |A view from the| shoulders of giants. Scientific journals are a form of scientific publication and the primary means by which scientists circulate detailed research results intended for other professionals. Unlike popular science or professional magazines, most of the content is written by active scientists, not journalists. They report recent scientific findings and allow the data to be verified by others, and thus are an important part of the scientific method. Articles always include references (citations) to previous and related studies and at least a short review on them. Articles undergo peer review by 1-3 other scientists to ensure adherence to scientific standards. The main questions in peer review is whether the data and/or analysis support the conclusion, and if the conclusion itself is novel and important. Generally, scientists require that a claim has been made in at least one, preferably multiple scientific articles, before accepting it as a scientific fact. This however depends very much in the field: conference proceedings are considered acceptable sources in e.g. computer science, and single-author books in humanities. The scientific journal is a specific type of academic journal. Many professional organizations and sometimes even individual universities have their own journal, although many of the big journals are published by private publishers. Some examples of scientific journals are Nature, Science, and Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS, often pronounced 'penis'). Major publishers of these journals include Elsevier, Springer, and John Wiley & Sons. Journals are ranked by their citation counts, which is quantified by their impact factor, which is approximately the average number of citations per article. Publishers are very aware of this and market their product with their impact factor. The economics of learned journals are unique in the world of publishing. Their cover price does not provide enough revenue to produce them. They also carry no—or extremely little—advertising. In a bizarre reversal of magazine publishing convention, their authors are not paid. In the conventional closed-access model, the authors are unpaid and have to relinquish their copyright to the publisher, which then resells the content to university libraries via a journal subscriptions. In the open-access model, the article is freely available, but the authors (or in practice, the universities where they work) pay considerable fees for the privilege of being published. A hybrid journal is a closed-access journal that allows the authors to pay an open-access fee (also called article-processing charge) to make the article freely available. For example, the open access fee for Nature Communications was $5,200 in 2018. However, individual scientists benefit indirectly: funding decisions and personnel evaluations in scientific research are largely based on the number of publications, their citation count and journal impact factor. The reviewers are also unpaid and usually anynymous and uncredited. Pseudojournals and predatory open-access journals are non-scientific publications marketed as scientific journals. Pseudojournals have the trappings of a scientific journal, but not the standards: they publish pseudoscience and do not review their content according to scientific standards. Predatory open-access journals are in it just for the open access fee. They can be very difficult to distinguish from real journals, because legitimate content may be mixed in. - Biology 150: Science in the News, Collins Memorial Library
What is digital economy? Unicorns, transformation and the internet of things The world as we know it is continually changing, and one of the fundamental drivers is digital transformation. At its core, digital transformation isn’t about Internet “unicorns.” It’s about using the latest technology to do what you already do – but better. The global economy is undergoing a digital transformation as well, and it’s happening at breakneck speed. So, what is the digital economy? It′s the economic activity that results from billions of everyday online connections among people, businesses, devices, data, and processes. The backbone of the digital economy is hyperconnectivity which means growing interconnectedness of people, organisations, and machines that results from the Internet, mobile technology and the internet of things (IoT). The digital economy is taking shape and undermining conventional notions about how businesses are structured; how firms interact; and how consumers obtain services, information, and goods. Professor Walter Brenner of the University of St. Gallen in Switzerland states: “The aggressive use of data is transforming business models, facilitating new products and services, creating new processes, generating greater utility, and ushering in a new culture of management.” Recently, TechCrunch, a digital economy news site, noted, “Uber, the world’s largest taxi company, owns no vehicles. Facebook, the world’s most popular media owner, creates no content. Alibaba, the most valuable retailer, has no inventory. And Airbnb, the world’s largest accommodation provider, owns no real estate… Something interesting is happening.” What is it about these companies that allows them to re-imagine the traditional boundaries and value proposition of their industry? What can these young companies teach you about leading a digital transformation in your industry? How will you adapt to the emerging fluidity found in traditional roles? There are four fundamental areas of digital transformation central to business success in the digital economy. Future of work People regularly work from different offices, their home, or a local coffee shop. While where we work has changed, we all expect the same level of connectivity experienced in the physical office. The emergence of this flexible, global enterprise requires organisations to manage a dynamic ecosystem of talent and enable next-generation digital business processes that prove to be effective, even when distributed across various places and time zones. In the digital economy, all customers – business-to-business as well as business-to-consumer alike – want to interact with businesses when and where they want and in a fashion that is most convenient for them. Additionally, customers desire engagement with brands through experiences that are seamless, omnichannel, direct, contextual, and personalised. Digital supply networks While the global middle class is expected to expand threefold by 2030, there is increasing pressure on essential business resources, which are growing at a slower rate of 1.5 times. The answer to this mismatch lies in how enterprises securely share data in real time to enable next-generation commerce applications to thrive. The digitisation of everything is creating new intelligent digital networks of networks that fundamentally change the way commerce is managed, optimised, shared, and deployed. The Internet of Things (IoT) As sensor prices continue to drop, we are on the cusp of an era where everything can be connected – people, businesses, devices, and processes – to each other. The melding of the physical and digital world brings every asset into a digital domain where software dominates. When an organisation can understand its physical and digital asset inventory at any given moment, it can operate with precision previously unimaginable, paving the way for the ultimate lean enterprise. This will not be a nice-to-have differentiator, but an imperative for any digital business within the next two years.
Nowhere in the world is there more shipping and dredging than in the North Sea No sea in the world is as busy as the North Sea. Not only does the world's busiest shipping route, the English Channel, generate extra traffic, but the Scheldt estuary also plays an important role for the many container ships that sail from the port of Antwerp to other seaports around the world. Every day, the North Sea teems with container ships, fishing boats, pleasure craft, police patrols and naval frigates. To channel all this traffic, special routes have been mapped out. These guide ships around all sorts of obstacles, including the North Sea's many sandbanks. Keeping the water flowing With the deepest point of the Belgian North Sea barely 40 m below sea level, dredgers are constantly at work to keep the water flowing. It is no coincidence that Belgium is one of the world's leading dredging nations. With the Netherlands, it has the largest and most modern dredging fleet in the world, led by the Belgian companies Jan De Nul and Deme and the Dutch companies Royal Boskalis Westminster NV and Van Oord. All this dredging is also vital for the North Sea ports, as it ensures the smooth flow of ships. And there are a lot of them every day, both long- and short-haul. Short sea shipping Thanks to its central location on the Scheldt and the North Sea, the port of Antwerp-Bruges is an important player in short sea shipping. This refers to the transport of goods and passengers between ports in geographical Europe or between these ports and ports in non-European countries whose coastline follows the European inland seas. That includes maritime transport between the EU member states, Norway, Iceland and other countries bordering the Baltic, Black and Mediterranean Seas. The port of Antwerp-Bruges offers weekly fixed short sea and feeder sailings to and from 200 destinations in Europe, North Africa and the UK. This activity links the Belgian location with 569 ports. As much as 110.7 million tonnes, or 47.9 per cent of the port's total seaborne cargo handling, comes from or goes to a short sea destination. In addition, 4.7 million TEUs, or 38.8 per cent of container throughput, travels between the port and other short sea destinations. The volume of goods loaded and unloaded in Antwerp has more than doubled in the last 20 years to 231 million tonnes. This makes Antwerp by far the most important port in Belgium and the second largest in Europe. Its location 80 km inland makes Antwerp the fastest and most sustainable link to the European hinterland. Antwerp is ranked 14th in the world's top 20 container ports. As the world's population grows and coastal economic activity increases, the North Sea has become one of the busiest fishing and shipping areas in the world. This summer Belga explores the sea through transport, wind energy, water quality, biodiversity and archaeology. #FlandersNewsService | © PHOTO ARTERRA © VIDEO PORT OF ANTWERP-BRUGES
Zoo Heidelberg's young Asian Small-Clawed Otters are all play! Born last November, the two pups are healthy but not quite hardy enough to stay outside in the cold. After swimming, running and jumping, they snuggle up in their warm indoor enclosure. The newborns each weighed a miniscule 1.8 ounces (50 grams) at birth. Completely dependent on parental care, Asian Small-Clawed otter pups are born naked and are blind until they open their eyes at six weeks old. At seven weeks, they begin to play and explore. The young otters reach maturity at two years, but may stay with their parents to help raise the next litter. Breeding pairs form strong bonds and mate for life. Asian Small-Clawed Otters are the smallest of otters. They have a wide range, from southern India through the Philippines and southern China. Mostly a freshwater species, they spend more time on land than other otters do. Their feet have two unusual traits: their short claws do not extend past the pads of their feet, and they do not have webbing between their toes. These adaptations help them to forage underwater for snails, crabs and other invertebrates along the bottom. Small-Clawed Otters are often welcome in rice paddies because eat crop pests like crabs.

In February, the Universe Today followed the sad tale about a dead US satellite called US-193, lifelessly floating around in orbit, possibly threatening the world by dumping hazardous fuel onto a city somewhere. This was the perfect time for the US Navy to launch their Standard Missile-3 (SM-3) into space, smashing US-193 to tiny bits. It worked and it worked well. Although we’ve seen loads of pictures of the rocket being launched, and the pinpoint accuracy it accomplished by detonating in low Earth orbit, but what technology goes into the actual warhead that takes out the satellite? Well, in an article just published, images of an older generation “Kinetic Energy” anti-satellite weapon are on display. And to be honest, it doesn’t look that scary… There’s more than one way to kill a satellite. You can make it self destruct by firing its thrusters, sending it in a deadly descent through the atmosphere. But say if you don’t have communication with the craft? You could capture it in orbit using a robotic or manned spaceship. But this would be prohibitively expensive and dangerous. You could simply shoot it down… now this idea (although far from being “simple”) is the most popular and effective method to get rid of a satellite from orbit. The anti-satellite (ASAT) idea has been around since the Cold War, as far back as the 1960’s, but very little information is available. In fact, according to Dwayne Day’s article in The Space Review on the 31st March, since the Cold War nobody has been bothered to write much about American ASAT technology development, policy, and doctrine. It is unclear if this is down to the military being (understandably) secretive, or whether people simply lost interest in the “Star Wars” program proposed by U.S. President Ronald Reagan in 1983. But there are some clues as to the US anti-satellite capabilities back in the 1990’s, namely a cool-looking mock-up of one of Lockheed’s proposals for a kinetic energy anti-satellite warhead (or KE-ASAT, pictured left), the author discovered at the Aerospace Legacy Foundation’s offices located at the former North American Aviation Downey factory. The owner, a Dr. Jim Busby showed off a low fidelity mock-up of a Lockheed KE-ASAT, which he acquired in the early 1990s, when a previous owner discarded it. It’s a strange-looking device, resembling a mini-spaceship capsule (although, from the images and description, it is unclear how big it is) that would have sat on top of a rocket booster to send it from the ground and into space to hit its satellite target. This type of anti-satellite does not explode on impact; it relies on huge velocities and a high mass to generate enough kinetic energy to destroy the target on impact. Some variations on this theme may have included a Kevlar “fly swatter” that would expand on impact, making it easier to hit the satellite and destroy it. It is obvious from the images that the mass of the warhead is packed in the red cone at the front of the weapon; the infrared heat-seeker targeting system would also be housed there. There is also a main thruster (that would fire to life once the rocket boosters had carried it into space), and attitude controls at the rear to guide the high velocity projectile to its target. A similar method was used by the February 20th US spy satellite intercept, so the proposed technology this KE-ASAT is built on is not far from the current method employed by the US Navy. Alas, the KE-ASAT never made it to the production line as Lockheed’s bid for use in an anti-satellite program was beaten by the Rockwell company in July 1990, the US Army opted for a far different-looking design, not dissimilar to the ASAT used today. Personally I think the Lockheed concept looked better, but would have been very scary, causing a huge mess… Source: The Space Review
The momentum of a particle is defined as the product of its mass times its velocity. It is a vector quantity. The momentum of a system is the vector sum of the momenta of the objects which make up the system. If the system is an isolated system, then the momentum of the system is a constant of the motion and subject to the principle of conservation of momentum. The most common symbol for momentum is p. The SI unit for momentum is kg m/s. You may insert numbers for any of the quantities. Then click on the text or symbol in the formula above for the quantity you wish to calculate.The numbers will not be forced to be consistent until you click on the desired quantity.

Even though the dunes can be seen from miles away, driving up to the Great Sand Dunes National Park in south central Colorado is still a surreal experience. Typically, when there is this much sand, there is an ocean nearby, but all there is here are the 14,000-foot peaks of the Sangre de Cristo Mountains to the east and the open San Luis Valley to the west. The tallest sand dunes in North America are found at Great Sand Dunes National Park, reaching heights of 750 feet. While that may not sound very high to a seasoned hiker, remember that this is sand, not solid dirt! While scientists aren’t completely sure, it’s generally accepted that the dunes started forming around 440,000 years ago when Lake Alamosa, which once covered most of the San Luis Valley, receded and drained through volcanic deposits to the Rio Grande River. Once the water was gone, the southwest winds blew the remaining sand into the natural curve of the Sangre de Cristo Mountains. During storms, winds come from the east through the Mosca, Medano, and Music Passes, and these opposing wind forces continue to build the dunes higher and higher. There are also two streams in the area—Medano and Sand Creeks—that bring water and sand down from the mountains to the valley floor. When the creeks disperse or dry up, that sand is also blown into the dunes. Just because the dunes are in a windy, high altitude desert, don’t think there isn’t life here! The first few inches of the dunes are dry and experience extreme temperatures, but just below the surface, there is enough moisture for species such as Ord's kangaroo rat, Great Sand Dunes Tiger Beetle, scurfpea, and blowout grass to survive. Other animals visit the dunes, too, such as elk, pronghorn, bison, coyotes, bobcats, and raptors. The area was designated as Great Sand Dunes National Monument in 1932, and became a national park in 2004. The park has several ecosystems and habitats, ranging from grasslands and shrublands on three sides of the dunefield to high alpine tundra to forests and meadows to alpine tundra up in the mountains. Just about everyone comes to the park to explore the sand dunes. The dunefield is 30 square miles, and there are no set trails. There are five dunes over 700 feet, but the High Dune (at 699 feet) is the most popular one in the park. It looks the tallest from the parking lot, and will give visitors a wonderful scenic view of the dunes and the surrounding landscape. The average time to hike this dune is about two hours. From High Dune, look west to see Star Dune, the highest in North America. Traverse about a mile and a half up and down other dunes to get to the peak. Expect about five hours roundtrip to the top of Star Dune and back. Besides hiking, many visitors enjoy sandboarding or sledding down the dunes. Regular snowboards, sleds, or plastic trashcan lids won’t work (you’ll likely just get stuck in the sand), so head to one of the two places to rent a sandboard or sandsled—year round at Kristi Mountain Sports in Alamosa, or from April to October, at the Oasis Store outside the park entrance. But it’s not all about the sand dunes! With the Sangre de Cristo Mountains right there, it’s no surprise that there are some worthwhile alpine trails, too. The Mosca Pass trail is a great one on a hot day, as it winds up through aspen and evergreen to a pass in the mountains. The trail is seven miles roundtrip, and follows a route once traveled by Native Americans and early settlers to get in and out of the valley. For a real challenge, summit 13,297' Mount Herard for a breathtaking view of the mountains and the dunes. It’s about a 10-mile roundtrip and requires 4WD to get to the trailhead. Pick up a copy of The Essential Guide to Great Sand Dunes National Park and Preserve at the Visitor Center bookstore for more information and directions to the trailheads in the area. After a long summer day on the dunes or the trails, head to Medano Creek (at the base of the dunes) for a fun float or just a little splash to cool off. The best water flow is in April and May, and visitors can also skimboard on the creek. Secrets of the Park If you have a 4WD vehicle, drive up to the Eastern Ridge and take a break at the Sand Pit or Castle Creek Picnic Areas. There is a tall, steep dune face at Castle Creek, and both spots are near Medano Creek. Colorado is well known for its vibrant fall colors, especially when the aspens burst into hues of gold and orange. One of the best places in the state to see fall foliage is through Medano Pass. The road requires a high-clearance 4WD vehicle and is only passable in warmer months, so not many people venture up there. There is camping along the 22-mile primitive road, many creek crossings, and some sand to get over. Check conditions before you go. Medano Creek is one of the only places in the world where visitors can experience the phenomenon known as “surge flow”, which only happens when there is just the right balance of water, sand, and slope. This usually occurs in the spring or early summer when the water flow is at its peak, and visitors will see waves rolling in about every 20 seconds. Sometimes, they can get up to foot high, making skimboarding or floating even more fun. Great Sand Dunes National Park is just over 30 minutes from the nearest town of Alamosa, so it’s easy to get a hotel room if you want to spend a weekend exploring the dunes. There are also some campgrounds at the park, but no matter where you stay, it’s definitely worth spending a couple days here—one day to explore the dunes, and another day to hit the trails in the mountains. How to Get the Most Out of Your Visit - The area is very windy. Bring eyewear (sunglasses should be fine) and a handkerchief or something to protect your face just in case the winds are really strong (winds can get up to 40 miles an hour). - You can visit the dunes year round, but if you come in the summer, the park is really busy, so weekdays are best. Also in the summer, the dunes get to 150 degrees, so go out in the early morning or later evening. Spring and fall are the best times to visit. - Medano Creek has the best flow in late May. In June, the mosquitos come out, so the creek can get quite buggy.
There are various methods by which to evaluate zipper strength.The basic strength can be determined based on the results of the following inspection methods, from which overall strength appropriate for respective uses can be judged.（Based on JIS-S3015 and ASTM D2061) (Tensile tester: Tensile velocity is 300mm/min. Clamp width is 25mm) Chain crosswise strength To determine ordinary zipper strength: a zipper chain is interlocked, pulled at a fixed speed at a right angle to the chain interlocked direction, and the resistance is measured. Top stop holding strength The lower part of an interlocked zipper is fixed and the slider is pulled up to the top stop. Holding strength is measured by pulling the slider tab firmly. Bottom stop holding strength The slider is pulled down to the bottom stop and single chains are opened to the right and left sides. Bottom stop holding strength and resistance of the elements inside the slider are measured. Separating unit crosswise strength The open part is fixed to the tensile tester (only the open part as shown in the figure) so that the end of the last element falls into line with the clamp edge and the tensile strength can be measured. Slider lock strength A slider is locked at the middle of a zipper chain and single chains are opened to the right and left sides. Locking strength and resistance of the elements inside the slider are measured. Slider tab pull off strength(90 degrees) For a completed slider, resistance of the slider is measured when the pull tab is fulled away from the lower part of the body. In addition to the 90 degree method of measuring shown in the figure at left, there is one for 45 degrees.
Can the Demand Curve Ever Be Upward Sloping? Most consumers prefer to pay lower prices for the goods and services they want. The so-called "law of demand" in economics recognizes this, holding that higher prices reduce demand for a good, and vice versa, other factors being equal. The demand curve visually depicts this on a graph. Because of the way the graph is set up, the curve typically slopes downward and to the right to illustrate a rise in demand as prices decline -- but the law of demand may have a loophole. In a few cases, higher prices may actually increase demand for some products and services, meaning that the demand curve would slope upward. Economists display demand curves on a two-dimensional grid. The vertical axis represents price, going from low price at the bottom upwards toward higher prices. The horizontal axis represents quantity of demand, going from zero or a low number at the left toward higher quantity at the right. A downward sloping demand curve illustrates the law of demand, showing that demand increases as prices decrease, and vice versa. In contrast, a demand curve that slopes upward and to the right indicates that demand for a product increases as the price rises. According to the Harper Collins Dictionary of Economics, economists have identified two reasons for an upward-sloping demand curve. These are conspicuous consumption, and products that economists refer to as "Giffen goods." Conspicuous consumption is a phenomenon in which consumers purchase luxury items because of the status associated with them. For example, some consumers may purchase luxury automobiles or high-end designer apparel because such items may identify them as persons of wealth or taste. These consumers may have higher demand for expensive items because of a belief that the high prices confer status on these goods. This idea has its roots in the work of 19th century economist and sociologist Thorstein Veblen, who coined the term conspicuous consumption in his 1899 book, "The Theory of the Leisure Class." Economists use the term "inferior goods" to refer to products and services for which consumers reduce their consumption as their incomes rise. Examples may include tickets for public buses, according to Harvard economist Greg Mankiw. As incomes rise, consumers may substitute automobiles for rides on city buses. Some inferior goods may show higher demand as prices increase. Such products are called Giffen goods, after economist Robert Giffen. With Giffen goods, higher prices increase demand, usually because the goods in question represent such a large proportion of a consumer's budget. Economists disagree on whether actual Giffen goods have existed in economic history. Some economic historians suggest that potatoes were Giffen goods during the Irish potato famine in the 19th century, according to Mankiw. Potatoes were such a staple of the Irish diet that higher prices caused many people to cut back on other foods, such as meat, to buy more potatoes, thus raising demand for potatoes despite the higher prices resulting from the famine. - Harper Collins Dictionary of Economics; C.

Survey of 1 Samuel Book Type: Book of History; the ninth book of the Old Testament; the ninth book of the Bible. Author: The book itself does not name its author. Tradition records Samuel as the primary author, but not the only one. It was likely completed by both Samuel and other godly leaders of Israel who served through the end of book's events. Audience: First and Second Samuel were originally completed as a single text, written to the Jewish people. The work serves both as a record of history and to emphasize the importance of faithfully following God. First Samuel records the transition of Israel's leadership from judges to kings, beginning with the transition of leadership from the prophet Samuel to King Saul and then King David. First Samuel illustrates the blessing of those who remain obedient to the Lord (like Samuel) and the judgment that comes upon those who live in disobedience to the Lord (like Saul). Date: Unknown. It was clearly written after the division of Israel and Judah in 931 BC, since these lands are often noted as separate kingdoms. Because its contents do not reflect the later events of the exile to Babylon, it was likely completed prior to this time, sometime between 931 and 722 BC. Overview: First Samuel consists of 31 chapters and includes three main sections. The first section develops the life of Samuel as both prophet and judge in Israel (1 Samuel 1—7). He had a special birth (1 Samuel 1), initiated by a fervent prayer from his mother Hannah (1 Samuel 2:1–10). Samuel heard from the Lord at a young age, worshiping God under the leadership of Eli. Chapters 4—7 chronicle Samuel's tenure as a judge over the land, including an important victory over the Philistines in chapter 7. The second section provides an account of Saul's rise as king over Israel (1 Samuel 8—15). After the people demand a king (1 Samuel 8), Samuel seeks the Lord who gives him directions for selecting Saul. Samuel then provides instruction to the people of Israel regarding submission to their king (1 Samuel 11:14—12:25). Though Saul begins well, his faithfulness does not last. Samuel rebukes him for sin (1 Samuel 13:8–15), the nation is dragged into multiple wars, and eventually Saul is rejected as king (1 Samuel 15). The third section begins the transition from King Saul to the future King David (1 Samuel 16—31). David comes from a humble background, yet has a passion for the Lord. Samuel anoints him, and David soon plays the harp before Saul. In chapter 17, David miraculously defeats the giant Goliath, making him a national hero. Saul is angry at David (1 Samuel 18), yet ends up giving his daughter Michal to David in marriage. Meanwhile, Saul's son Jonathan becomes David's best friend (1 Samuel 18:1–5; 19—20). Tensions then rise between Saul and David, leading to outright violence from Saul. David flees from Saul's pursuit, sparing Saul's life twice in the process (1 Samuel 21—26). During this time, Samuel dies (1 Samuel 25:1). David later comes to a low point and is forced to live among the Philistines (1 Samuel 27). In the final chapters of the book, Saul finally sinks to his lowest spiritual point (1 Samuel 28). David and his army are sent home by the Philistines and must defeat the Amalekites to rescue their families (1 Samuel 29—30). Finally, Saul and his sons die in battle (1 Samuel 31). The story is continued in 2 Samuel, and these were originally written as a single, continuous work. Key Verses (ESV): 1 Samuel 8:6–7: "But the thing displeased Samuel when they said, 'Give us a king to judge us.' And Samuel prayed to the Lord. And the Lord said to Samuel, 'Obey the voice of the people in all that they say to you, for they have not rejected you, but they have rejected me from being king over them.'" 1 Samuel 13:13–14: "And Samuel said to Saul, 'You have done foolishly. You have not kept the command of the Lord your God, with which he commanded you. For then the Lord would have established your kingdom over Israel forever. But now your kingdom shall not continue. The Lord has sought out a man after his own heart, and the Lord has commanded him to be prince over his people, because you have not kept what the Lord commanded you.'" 1 Samuel 15:22–23: "And Samuel said, 'Has the Lord as great delight in burnt offerings and sacrifices, as in obeying the voice of the Lord? Behold, to obey is better than sacrifice, and to listen than the fat of rams. For rebellion is as the sin of divination, and presumption is as iniquity and idolatry. Because you have rejected the word of the Lord, he has also rejected you from being king.'"
A new, natural product—a lipid discovered by scientists at ARS' Eastern Regional Research Center in Philadelphia—may join the ranks of nonsteroidal drugs that fight inflammation. And this lipid could be indirectly produced from agricultural products. "A drug containing this new compound could offer several advantages over existing anti-inflammatory drugs, because it blocks only one biochemical pathway—that of lipoxin biosynthesis," says Robert A. Moreau. He is a chemist in the ERRC's Plant Science and Technology Research Unit. Moreau says that all of the currently used nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs—including aspirin, acetaminophen, and ibuprofen—inhibit two pathways, leukotriene biosynthesis and lipoxin biosynthesis. Pharmaceutical companies have been searching for a drug that blocks only the lipoxin pathway. It is thought that a drug with this property would work especially well in treating the types of inflammatory conditions associated with asthma and atherosclerosis. The new lipid tested negative for fungicidal, herbicidal, and insecticidal properties in cooperative work performed with a chemical company under a formal Cooperative Research and Development Agreement. In addition, a collaborative project with the National Cancer Institute in Frederick, Maryland, revealed that the compound was not toxic to several types of cancer cells or to HIV-infected cells. "We believe the fact that our compound didn't exhibit any type of toxicity in these systems enhances its value for pharmacological uses," Moreau says. "Compounds that are toxic to cancer cells can harm healthy cells as well." Because ERRC scientists are applying for a patent, the name and chemical structure of the compound are confidential. The scientists are looking for a partner company that is interested in collaborating on further research and development of this potentially valuable lipid. -- By Doris Stanley, ARS. Robert A.

Police Shooting Cases Change Use of Force Recent headlines could change the way police use force during arrests, according to the Chicago Tribune. Criticism of perceived racism and police brutality in the high-profile shootings in St. Paul, Minnesota and Baton Rouge, Louisiana has added tension to already strained police-community relations in Chicago. The video of the fatal shooting of Laquan Davis late last year led to protests and lingering anger against police. Some police officers believe the critical attitude toward police has lead to less “proactive” policing, such as traffic stops. Tension May Lead to Police Brutality However, today’s shooting of five police officers at a protest in Dallas, Texas underlines the danger facing on-duty police. In the past few days, several other attacks have occurred against police in Georgia, Tennessee, and Missouri, possibly in response to the accusations of police brutality in Louisiana and Minnesota, the Huffington Post reports. It’s possible for this perceived threat to lead to more use of force in arrests if police overestimate the danger of the situation. This could lead, ironically, to more incidents of police brutality. The Law on Deadly Force in Illinois Even if the social and political environment has changed, the law still lays down strict rules on the use of deadly force by police officers. In Tennessee v. Gardner, the Supreme Court held that police may only use deadly force when the suspect poses a threat of serious physical harm to the officer or others. The Illinois Criminal Code repeats this rule on the use of force and elaborates on the type of situations that might pose a threat of serious physical harm. One specific situation is where the person the officer wishes to arrest has attempted or committed a violent felony that involved serious physical harm to someone, and where that person is attempting to escape. The statute specifically states that the use of a chokehold during an arrest should be considered deadly force. A chokehold is any contact with the neck or throat that is meant to reduce the intake of air. No Unreasonable Use of Deadly Force But when is a police officer justified in concluding that the suspect poses a threat of serious physical harm to the officer? In general, a court will evaluate whether the police officer’s decision was reasonable in the context of the facts as they appeared to him or her at the time of the use of force. For example, if a suspect reaches into their pocket, the police officer may only conclude that this justifies the use of lethal force if the circumstances at the time justify it, according to what a reasonable person would think. Since there is no hard and fast rule about what a reasonable person might perceive as a threat of physical injury, there’s no clear line between justified and unjustified use of force during an arrest.

UNITED NATIONS The United Nations is planning to consider later this year the scientific validity of a claim by China that a group of disputed islands in the East China Sea are part of its territory, although Japan says the world body should not be involved. Tensions over the uninhabited islands - located near rich fishing grounds and potentially huge oil and gas reserves - flared after Japan's government purchased them from a private Japanese owner in September, sparking violent anti-Japanese protests across China and a military standoff. Taiwan also claims the islands, known as the Diaoyu islands in China, the Senkaku islands in Japan and Tiaoyutai in Taiwan. It was not immediately clear if the U.N. involvement would increase the likelihood the China-Japan dispute would be resolved peacefully. But launching an international legal process that should yield a neutral scientific opinion could reduce the temperature for now in Beijing's spat with Tokyo. In a submission to the U.N. Commission on the Limits of the Continental Shelf, China says the continental shelf in the East China Sea is a natural prolongation of China's land territory and that it includes the disputed islands. Under the U.N. convention, a country can extend its 200-nautical-mile economic zone if it can prove that the continental shelf is a natural extension of its land mass. The U.N. commission assesses the scientific validity of claims, but any disputes have to be resolved between states, not by the commission. China said the "Diaoyu Dao upfold zone" - the islands - is located between the East China Sea shelf basin and the Okinawa Trough. "The Okinawa Trough is the natural termination of the continental shelf of (the East China Sea)," it said. China also told the commission that it was still negotiating with other states on the delimitation of the continental shelf. "Recommendations of the commission with regard to the submission will not prejudice future delimitation of the continental shelf between China and the states concerned," said the executive summary of China's submission published on the commission's website. The commission said consideration of China's claim would be included in the provisional agenda of a meeting of the body due to be held in New York from July 15 to August 30. In a letter to the commission, Japan's U.N. mission argued that China's submission should not be considered. "There is no doubt that the Senkaku Islands are an inherent part of the territory of Japan in light of historical facts and based upon international law. The Senkaku Islands are under the valid control of Japan," it said. The islands were put under Japan's control in 1895 and were part of the post-World War Two U.S. military occupation zone from 1945 to 1972. They were then returned to Tokyo by U.S. authorities in a decision China and Taiwan later contested. China responded to Japan's letter by calling Tokyo's claim to the islands "illegal and invalid." "Diaoyu Dao and its affiliated islands have been inherent territory of China since ancient times," its U.N. mission said in a letter. U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton urged China and Japan in September to let "cool heads" prevail in the dispute, but her pleas fell on deaf ears. After Japan's purchase of the islands, protests in China saw Japanese businesses looted, Japanese citizens attacked. Automakers and other Japanese manufacturers reported considerably lower sales in the country. More recently, Japanese military planes have been scrambled numerous times against Chinese planes approaching airspace over the islands. Chinese planes have also been launched to shadow Japanese planes elsewhere over the East China Sea. Patrol vessels from the two countries have also played a tense game of cat-and-mouse in the waters near the disputed islands. (Reporting by Michelle Nichols; Editing by David Brunnstrom and Peter Cooney) Trending On Reuters A powerful earthquake struck Taiwan early on Saturday killing at least 12 people, most in a 17-storey apartment building that collapsed, with some people still known to be missing in the ruins of the complex as night fell, government officials said.

This year marks two very special anniversaries for bat conservation. First, were celebrating the fifth anniversary of Bat Weeka week-long celebration of bats and the vitally important role they play in nature. Were also celebrating the protection of Bracken Cave Preserve, home to the largest bat colony in the world, with more than 15 million Mexican free-tailed bats. Back in 2015, BCI, working with The Nature Conservancy, the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department, the City of San Antonio, Bexar County, and many regional donors, acquired 1,500 acres of land surrounding Bracken Cave that was imminently threatened by development. As a result of this victory, we have been able to welcome thousands of visitors each year to the Preserve, inspiring a whole new group of people who value and support bat conservation. Here at BCI, were working hard across the globe to rack up a string of impressive conservation victories just like the one at Bracken Cave. Were protecting the worlds most important cave habitats, restoring habitats that are degraded or in danger, and helping every day to ensure the survival of these incredible creatures. Our work here and around the world is not possible without your support. Together, we have the power to protect special places like Bracken Cave Preserve, and end bat extinctions worldwide.

Teaching fractions with food is a natural way to begin any fraction unit. Check out my five favorite foods, and get a free printable that will also help you introduce equivalent fractions with food It is finally time for one of my favorite math units!! Fractions!!! Last week we kicked off our unit with food. THere is one thing my boys excel at (actually there is more than one), but they are incredible eaters. They very active, and have appetites to match their movement level! So…..if we get to have a snack while we learn I’m a super mom…at least for a few minutes. There are many foods that are already divided into equal parts, and using these foods to introduce fractions allows children to begin making connections using their background knowledge. I created a simple task card printable as a guide for us as we “played” with our food, and we enjoyed working through it and exploring the concept of fractions. Toward the end of our week of introducing fractions with food, I did not use them. Surprisingly I had lots of complaints. I guess we have to follow the routine!!!! Want more ideas on introducing fractions visually? Check out this series Math Geek Mama and I did. Teaching Fractions with Food….what we did each day! Prep – Work Prep work for each lesson was very simple. Obviously, you need the food…we will get to that, but I also had the printable ready for my kiddos. - First, I printed the task cards off on card stock paper. - Next, I cut them out and laminated them. - You could punch a hole in them and place a small ring on them to keep them together. - Provide some dry erase marker and you are ready to go! Each day I would hand out the food, and we would identify the whole. Next, we simply worked on the task cards. The first card asks the student if the food can be divided up equally among two people. Kids know all about sharing, and they understand how important it is that each person gets a fair amount! As we were “sharing” our food I would consistently reinforce the concept that the denominator tells us how many equal groups there are to make a whole. And the importance that their groups were equal. With this food, you can see that it was easy to split the Kit Kat into two equal parts. We drew what each part looked like, and wrote that each person would get one out of the two parts….1/2. Next, we came up with equivalent fractions. For example, it is easy to see that there are two pieces of Kit Kat in each group. We discussed (and I showed them) that an equivalent fraction would be two fourths. We went through each task card, and if it was an easy way to share that food we would do that task card. The Kit Kat was perfect for sharing with four people, and we even managed to do it with eight people. With my kiddos being little, we didn’t do the factions that could not be easily divided up. It is difficult to divide a graham cracker into thirds, but not impossible. If I was working with fifth graders, I may attempt this with them. The thought process will provide helpful as they divide and multiply fractions later on. So what foods are perfect for fractions?? 1. Graham Crackers This snack is perfect for a large class and is a quick way to introduce 1/2 and its equivalent form 2/4. Obviously, 1/4 is also easily seen. 2. Hershey Bars This one is my favorite. Not only do they taste great because they are welllllll chocolate, but there is an awesome book that will lead the activity for you. I didn’t use the task cards this day. We just went through the book, and the concept of fractions and equivalent fractions is clearly explained. This was one of my student’s favorite lessons when I taught fourth grade, and it didn’t let me down when I did it with my boys. We were able to cover 1/2 and its equivalent 3/6. We also worked on 1/3, 1/4, and 1/6 and their equivalents. Need more equivalent fraction activities? Check out these 15 ideas. Now oranges are not the perfect fraction food, but they still work great and are healthy. If you decide to use oranges you will need to discuss that all the slices are not perfectly equal. They are pretty close, and when we found a slice that was very small we just left it with the larger piece. Also, you may find that the oranges have a different number of slices. Both of ours happened to have 9 slices and gave us the chance to use the fractions 1/3 and 3/9. Unfortunately, that was the only fraction we could make without some surgery taking place. 4. Kit Kats These are very similar to graham crackers but show students a different arrangement for making 1/2 and 1/4…you can even try 1/8 with an extra break. 5. Packs of Crackers I love these because it shows that sometimes a whole isn’t just one piece of food. A whole can be the total amount of any equal thing. It is also a great introduction to problems such as what is 1/2 of 12. Many times these problems throw children because they only think of fractions in relations to a circle or square cut into pieces. When we are teaching fractions we need to provide many different samples, and packs of food are great places to start. A small bag of skittles, M & M, or a pack of crackers are just a few great examples!! I like using the crackers because they all have the same amount in them, not a sweet food, and I knew we could hit the fractions 1/2, 1/3 and 1/6. They gave us a chance to explore equivalent fractions that the Kit Kats and graham crackers had left out!!! After we “played” with our food, we would choose one fraction and do our Fraction of the Day printable. It was another way to review what we had covered, but also give them a chance to see the fraction on a number line. This will play an important part as we start playing games to reinforce equivalent fractions and the different way you can illustrate them. Check in later this week and into next for some of the fun games we are playing. You’ve Got This You may also like our introduction to fraction craft with a free printable.
Part Ten in a Series One of the questions that comes up each time I speak on science and Genesis is this: Did rain fall upon the earth before the Flood? People wonder, too, whether or not the rainbow Noah saw was the very first rainbow. Apparently, many Christians have been taught that the earth's cycle of evaporation and precipitation was very different before the Flood from what it is today and that major atmospheric changes occurred at the time of the Flood. This teaching is, I believe, part of a larger hypothetical scenario called the canopy theory, the point of which is to account somehow for "importation" of the water required for a global flood (water that is missing from the earth's environs) and also to account for the drastic shortening of man's life span after the Flood. (Both issues were addressed in this column in the most recent issue of Facts & Faith, v. 5. n. 1, 1991, pp. 4-5.) According to the theory (more appropriately called a hypothesis), in the days before the Genesis Flood the earth supported a massive layer of water (either frozen or vaporous) high in the upper atmosphere. At the time of the Flood, the canopy is said to have melted or condensed at God's command, thereby dumping the cataclysmic deluge on the earth's surface. Unfortunately, this popular scenario finds insufficient support from scripture and no support whatsoever from science. Let's take a look at the Biblical passages first. Genesis 2:5 speaks of a time when God had not yet sent rain upon the earth. What is the time context of this verse? It refers clearly to a time when the continents were still devoid of life. That is to say, it describes a period prior to the third creation day and to the establishment of our stable water cycle. Genesis 2:6 comes after a punctuation break in the Hebrew and seems to refer to a later time when God caused "mist" (though a few translations say "streams") to water the ground. Apparently the ground at this point needed watering to support the flora and fauna. The Hebrew word used for "mist" in this verse is 'ed. Its normal translation is "mist" or "vapor," as in a fog. To translate it as "streams" is to stretch it toward a rare and, in this case, inappropriate usage. Technically, both mist and fog qualify as rain. Mist, fog, and rain all refer to drops of liquid water in the atmosphere. The distinction lies in the size of the drops, and that distinction is imprecise. Where I grew up in coastal British Columbia we called anything less than a downpour a mist. Neither does the later discussion of the rainbow as a covenant sign (Genesis 9) imply that rain and rainbows had never been seen before the time of Noah. When the Flood was over, God told Noah that He would never again destroy all mankind and his animals by the waters of a flood. Then God designated the rainbow as His signature, a reminder, of this covenant (contractual agreement between God and man, initiated by God) not to repeat a watery judgment against man's sin. It may be worth noting that the other eight covenants of scripture are signified with previously existing items or actions to which the covenant simply adds new meaning. As for scientific analysis of the canopy theory, I must begin by stating my belief that when God performs a miracle (and the operation of a canopy would have to be considered one, for it is outside the realm of naturally occurring phenomena), He does not deliberately cover up or distort the evidence to mislead us or to keep us from detecting it. What most Christians do not realize is that acceptance of the canopy theory requires acceptance of a massive cover-up by God. I cannot reconcile such action as consistent with the character of the God of the Bible. From science we learn that no mechanism exists for supporting such a quantity of water (frozen or vaporous) in the Earth's upper atmosphere. Neither is there a mechanism for protecting a canopy from destruction by meteorites and interplanetary and cosmic radiation. A further problem is that when ice melts it uses up 80 calories of heat per gram. When vapor condenses it releases 539 calories of heat per gram. In other words, the melting or condensing of a canopy would have caused such massive temperature shifts on Earth that Noah and his crew could not possibly have survived. Backing up a bit, if a canopy were vaporous, the greenhouse effect it would have engendered before the Flood would have trapped so much heat as to make life impossible on the surface of the earth. These are only a few of the scientific difficulties with the canopy scenario, mostly theoretical. Physical counterevidence is also available. Geologists point to splash depressions in well-dated sandstone deposits, depressions caused by falling drops of liquid water. These splash patterns show that raindrops of all the sizes we see today have fallen throughout the last several geologic eras, including eras before the Flood. The canopy theory represents yet another reminder to Christians that we need to submit our apologetics arguments to review by reputable non-Christian and Christian scholars in appropriate disciplines. If only scientists who are Christians attest to a particular physical phenomenon, especially one of such magnitude as the canopy, we have good reason to question its validity.
Sometimes I think about what America was like when my grandfather was young. In 1908, when he was 22, he started a business that, I’m happy to say, thrives to this day. He was the son of Swedish immigrants and started with nothing but some mechanical know-how and a good entrepreneurial idea. Stories like his were very common in the America of a century ago. Millions of ambitious immigrants flooded into the US because its governmental system and culture were conducive to productivity and innovation. The people overwhelmingly expected to succeed or fail on their own efforts. Almost nobody thought he had a right to live at the expense of others, or had any right to dictate how others must act or what they must believe. Moreover, the legal system protected Americans’ rights to life, liberty, and property. Theft was illegal. Acts of coercion were illegal. If someone wanted your money, he could only ask for it and had to take “no” for an answer. If someone wanted you to join a labor union, he could ask, but you were perfectly free to decline. In those days, there were no officious bureaucrats dictating what people could and couldn’t do in their businesses. Taxes were low. At all levels, government consumed less than ten percent of the GDP. Therefore, nearly all of America’s resources of labor and materials were under the direction of the market’s profit and loss system. Profits signaled where more investment would pay off; losses quickly put an end to ill-conceived ventures. And – crucially – government had almost no power to reward special interest groups. It did interfere with international trade to benefit domestic producers, but aside from that, government stuck closely to the precepts of laissez-faire. The result was tremendous output of goods and services, along with innovation that propelled economic expansion at an accelerating pace. America was all about work, a point that Alexis de Tocqueville commented on in his book Democracy in America. Compared with his native France, where guilds and regulations and the high cost of government acted as a brake on the economy, in America he saw boundless energy. Today’s America is a very different country than the one my grandfather knew. Governments absorb roughly half of the GDP. There are innumerable laws and regulations governing our lives – more than anyone could possibly read, much less understand. There are also legions of bureaucrats who are eager to fine and punish anyone who knowingly or unknowingly violates one of those laws or regulations. Governmental licenses are frequently required before an individual is allowed to go into business or a trade and official permission must often be sought before employing an innovation. Today, government has ample power to reward special interest groups with subsidies or other favors, which are avidly sought. Great numbers of people now hold jobs that entail no production of goods or services, but frequently obstruct such production by enforcing the laws and regulations that get in the way of efficiency and entrepreneurship. Those jobs often pay very well and are also avidly sought. And instead of looking to their own efforts to solve problems, Americans now want government to step in. Pleading for government to raise your income or provide you with medical care or help you through college is now the default mode for most of the people. They don’t mind at all that what they demand can only come at the expense of others because they’ve been taught that whatever is done democratically is all right. As a result of this great philosophical change, in America today we have a preponderance of Takers over Makers. The Takers consume the taxes paid by the Makers and many of them have jobs that give them power over others since they are paid to enforce the rapidly multiplying number of rules and regulations. Moreover, the Takers exhibit a sense of superiority over the Makers, based on their idea that it is more noble to work for “the public interest” than to work in the morally dubious world of profit-seeking enterprise. This dramatic change in the dominant ethos of America couldn’t have happened without the persistence of people who were frustrated by the America of the Founders, with its principles of limited government, individual liberty, and the rule of law. They disliked the “chaos” of capitalism, believing that a scientifically managed economy would be much better, shorn of unseemly competition for profits and huge inequalities between rich and poor. They called themselves “progressives” and told people that if they had control, they would transform the country for the better. The odd thing about “progressivism,” however, is that it is actually regressive. It takes us back to earlier social and economic arrangements that depended upon top-down control by elites who were sure they knew how to run things. Progressivism resembles feudalism, where a few nobles dictate to everyone else how to live and work, supposedly for the overall good of society. Freedom was allowed only insofar as it didn’t threaten to disturb the well-crafted order. And while I’m on the subject of the perversion of language, I think it’s important to note that while the people who insist on social and economic control are often called “liberals,” they are the very opposite of that. They are authoritarians. True liberals want to liberate people from top-down systems of domination — Adam Smith for example. Let’s not call the likes of Joe Biden, Nancy Pelosi, Chuck Schumer, and other politicians who clamor for ever-expanding government “liberals.” A better term would be “statists.” The statists have been extraordinarily successful in changing America’s philosophy. Over the last century and especially from the New Deal on, they managed to turn much of the country away from the individualistic, Golden Rule philosophy that used to prevail, and inculcated a collectivist philosophy. Under the old philosophy, people thought that they were responsible for themselves; many wouldn’t accept government welfare during the Depression, thinking it wrong and shameful to live at the expense of others. Several generations later, a great many Americans see nothing wrong with seeking government money or other favors. Since the New Deal, government at all levels has expanded enormously and there’s a huge momentum behind it. Takers now outnumber Makers. The sphere of liberty has been steadily shrinking as government power has grown. More of our earnings are seized in taxes. Increasingly, we are only allowed to use our property as officials will allow. Countless regulations hem in anyone who attempts to engage in business. All of that has been building up for decades, but recently the Takers have launched new offensives against American traditions. They aren’t content merely to siphon off some of the wealth produced by the free market, but want to obliterate the market with a “Great Reset” that means full-fledged socialism. And they now see dissent from their visions as morally illegitimate and thus have declared war on freedom of speech. Looking at the opposing sides, the Takers currently have the White House, Congress, and the vast federal bureaucracy. They can spend any amount of money to buy support from voters. They control education from top to bottom. Starting in grade school, most students are fed a diet of statist ideas about society, the economy, the environment, American history, race, gender, and anything else that will shape their beliefs toward the beneficence of government and the frightfulness of liberty. The Takers also control most of the media. With but a few exceptions, the media covers everything with the goal of slanting the story to make government look good and freedom or its defenders look bad. Alleged market failures will be trumpeted while clear government failures will be ignored. And in philanthropy, foundations that support leftist ideas have about five times the resources of those that support free markets and voluntarism. It seems like an unfair fight, leading one to wonder about the future. If the trend towards ever-growing government can’t be stopped, what will the US be like in the future? The result of loss of freedom anywhere is the same: declining prosperity accompanied by increasing strife, as groups fight to have government give them a bigger slice of the shrinking pie. The US is heading toward that cliff at high speed. Is there a chance to avoid the Takers’ dream of omnipotent government? Can we regain the freedom we’ve lost? Those questions are at the heart of my novel The Awakening of Jennifer Van Arsdale. Jon Sanders recently wrote a perceptive review of the book, calling it “subtly optimistic.” He’s right. I am subtly optimistic about the future. For all the heavyweight advantages the Takers have, the tide seems to have turned. For one thing, the grip the Takers have had on education is loosening. Many parents have realized during the COVID school closures that they can do much better for their children outside of the politicized system of government schools. Many others have learned about the appalling, divisive, manipulative curricula that “woke” teachers and administrators have smuggled in and are fighting back. Higher education is also starting to fade as Americans realize that the college degree, long touted as a sure-fire investment, is often a waste of time and money. Fewer students attending college means fewer students subjected to ideological hectoring. And as revenues fall, schools will have to cut the worst performing departments. Accounting stays, Gender Studies goes. Even more significant is the decline in trust in government. First the Takers managed to break down the Constitution’s limits on government power and then they managed to convince a high percentage of the people that such power was nothing to worry about. It was nothing to worry about, they said, because government officials are public servants, motivated to do what is in the public interest. Democracy ensures that government will do the right thing – or so the tale went. Generations of young Americans were taught to believe in government but to fear capitalism. Wonderfully, that trust has greatly eroded. More than anything else, what caused it to erode was the way government officials reacted to COVID. Rather than “following the science,” they followed their authoritarian instincts, demanding lockdowns, business closures (except for those they deemed “essential”), mask and vaccine mandates, school closures, and an end to social gatherings (unless they were for some leftist-approved purpose, like BLM protests). Instead of listening to critics, they smeared and tried to silence them. They refuse to admit making any errors, much less having wrought vast harm upon millions of the people they supposedly serve. Nothing has done more to damage the big government “brand” than COVID. The curtain has been pulled aside so the people can see how arrogant and hypocritical our public elites are. This gives those of us who favor a return to the liberal America of my grandfather’s time a tremendous opportunity. George Washington wisely wrote that “Government is not reason; it is not eloquence; it is force.” For the last two years, millions of people have learned how correct that statement is, as government officials have ruined their lives. With so many more Americans now looking upon government as a malefactor, the iron is hot. The intellectual support for the leftist worldview is a house of cards. It depends on people blindly accepting clichés such as that government spending stimulates the economy, that inflation is caused by the greed of businessmen, that there would be widespread illiteracy if it weren’t for government schools, that minimum wage laws don’t lead to unemployment, that government officials are solely motivated by a desire to serve the common good, that gun control laws reduce crime, and more. Those notions are at odds with reality and any brush with reality is apt to cause the house of cards to tumble. (That’s what happens to Jennifer Van Arsdale in my book.) It won’t be enough just to toss the Democrats out of office. That has happened before and the growth of our governmental leviathan was barely slowed. What we need to do is to restore the spirit of liberty that used to animate America. Doing so will mean persuading every open-minded person that a free society, one where people may do anything that’s peaceful, is best for everyone. The free, truly liberal society is the one that maximizes prosperity, innovation, and harmony. On the other hand, a controlled society ensures declining living standards, less innovation, and conflict as groups squabble for government favors. Millions of Americans know that government power made them worse off during COVID and this gives us the opening to persuade them that it isn’t just that the COVID tyranny was bad, but that the whole agenda of the Taking cabal is bad. The government is littered with people like Dr. Fauci. It’s not too late for a pro-liberty counterattack. The authoritarian position has always been weak intellectually and now it’s weak politically.
If one mentions the name Pierre Teilhard de Chardin, the first thing that comes to mind is his philosophical/theological speculation on the evolution of Creation and mankind toward its ultimate Omega Point. During his lifetime (i.e. before the Second Vatican Council), such theories were quite controversial and he was not permitted to publish them. Even today, while many people embrace his writings, others continue to view them with skepticism. Regardless of one’s views regarding his theology or philosophy, one must also recognize that Pierre Teilhard de Chardin was quite an accomplished scientist in the fields of paleontology and geology. He investigated early hominids, and took part in the discovery of Peking Man in China. Pierre Teilhard de Chardin was born on the first of May, 1881, into a large French family in the region of Auvergne. His father instilled in him an interest in geology, and his mother encouraged his prayer and spiritual development. He attended a Jesuit school and then entered the Jesuit order in 1899. He studied philosophy and earned a licentiate in literature in 1902. He did his Jesuit regency a the College of the Holy Family in Cairo, Egypt, where he taught chemistry and physics. He studied theology in Hastings, Sussex, England from 1908-1912, and was ordained to the priesthood in 1911. He took final vows in the Order on 26 May, 1918. In 1912, he began work on the paleontology of early mammals at the Museum National d’Histoire Naturelle in Paris. This research was associated with academic studies in geology, botany, and zoology at the University of Paris. It was during his time in Paris that fragments of the infamous “Piltdown Man” were discovered in Sussex, England. Teilhard joined the team to explore the dig site, being taken in by the hoax. After that, colleagues at MNHN encouraged him to study human paleontology. This new direction would eventually take him to dig sites around the world. His work was interrupted from 1914-1918 due to World War I. He served as a stretcher bearer, and earned several honors for his service. In 1920, the became a lecturer in geology at the Catholic University of Paris. He earned his doctorate in 1922. In 1923 he joined Fr. Emile Licent S.J. on his first expedition to China, and would then spend the periods 1926-1935 and 1939-1945 in that country, studying the geology of the region. It was during the period 1926-1935 that he joined the excavation that discovered Peking Man. He returned to France in 1946, but later moved to the United States, hoping to find a more receptive audience for his ideas there. Pierre Teilhard de Chardin died of a heart attack on April 10, 1955 in New York City. Beginning as early as the time of his theology studies in Sussex, he was captivated by the idea of developing theological and philosophical concepts around new information and theories about human evolution and mankind’s spiritual relationship with the created world as a product of evolution. This led to the concept of the noosphere and the Omega Point; ideas that he would pursue throughout his life. He wrote several books and essays on the subject, including The Phenomenon of Man and The Divine Milieu. He did not receive permission to publish during his lifetime, so these books were published posthumously. In the period preceding the Second Vatican Council, any innovative theology that incorporated any modernist ideas at all was considered suspect. It is worth noting that, during this period, the works of such theologians as Karl Rahner and Yves Congar were also sanctioned. Those two then served as periti during the Second Vatican Council, and their thought can be found throughout the Conciliar documents. One wonders if, had Teilhard lived to see the Council, he might also have played a role. Today, while some endorse his ideas and others still find it problematic, the taint of unorthodoxy has dissipated. Both Pope Benedict XVI and Pope Francis have made positive references to Teilhard’s writings. Peking Man: Pierre Teilhard de Chardin was part of a team (along with Davidson Black, C. C. Young, and Pei Wenchung) excavating a cave site known as Choukoutien, in China’s Beijing province. In December of 1929, they uncovered a skull. This skull was later joined by four others. The specimens (known as “Peking Man”) belonged to the hominid Homo erectus pekinensis, and are now considered the closest relative to Java Man (Homo erectus erectus). Teilhard established the geological era of the inhabitation at about 750,000 years ago. With Henri Brueil, Teilhard determined that this hominid used fire and manipulated stone tools. This site remains one of the largest finds of Homo erectus. Teilhard de Chardin also visited numerous other excavation sites where other early hominids had been uncovered. Paleontology: Much of Teilhard de Chardin’s scientific study, particularly his early work in Paris, focused on the paleontology of early mammals. These were mammals of what was then considered the middle tertiary period (approx. 20-35 million years ago). Geology: Teilhard de Chardin extensively studied the geology of China on at least five geological expeditions throughout the country. He improved understanding of China’s sedimentary deposits and established approximate ages for various layers. He also produced a geological map of China. The primate genus Teilhardina is named for him.
Studying systems, which emit over several orders of magnitude in energy, necessitates the combination of ground based (radio/mm/optical/IR/VHE) and space based (optical-UV/IR/X-ray/VHE) instruments. - The discovery of parsec and kiloparsec jets emitting from optical to VHE Gamma rays from black hole binaries (BHBs) and AGN respectively - The discovery of correlated jet emission with X-ray inflow in BHBs invoking a causal connection - The discovery of the most powerful accretion epochs driven by tidal disruption events (TDEs) - The discovery of inflated radio/optical bubble nebulae around ultraluminous X-ray sources - The view of the AGN torus in the IR and its connection to the accretion disc (optical-X-ray) - The distribution, dynamics and temperatures of gas and dust in supernova remnants (IR-X-ray) - The study of X-ray emission associated with accretion onto YSOs and the optical emission from their cool dusty discs - Reverberation between the optical and X-ray bands to determine the geometry and constrain system parameters in binary systems - Rapid flaring from Sgr A* in multiple bandpasses (radio, IR and X-ray) - The rapid evolution of Gamma Ray Bursts (GRBs) and supernovae (SNe) Due to scheduling demands, observations in multiple bands are typically days-weeks apart; such coordinated, but non-simultaneous observations, of systems that change on shorter timescales are therefore prone to be misleading. Such rapidly variable systems include the jets and accretion flows from smaller compact objects such as stellar mass black holes, neutron stars and white dwarfs which change on viscous timescales of minutes, dynamical changes (of the order of hours) in AGN, the jets from T-Tauri proto-stellar objects and accreting stars, and dense environments around luminous systems which are causally linked. In all cases, without a truly simultaneous MW picture of these systems, we are denied an understanding of the physical mechanisms that underpin them. At present there is no simple solution to the problem of simultaneous MW observing yet the relevance of the scientific questions makes it crucial for the community to find one. This may take the form of a new strategy for MW observing which could be adopted by a large number of observatories (both ground and spaced based) or may require a more extreme solution and a bespoke MW mission. Consideration of the latter is both important and timely; whilst a great deal of attention is focussed on next-generation single band-pass observatories, technology (e.g. mechanical cooling in place of cryogenic cooling) is now developed to the point where a dedicated MW satellite is not only possible but is the natural next step in observational astronomy. We propose to hold a focussed workshop at the Lorentz centre (@Oort) in mid-late 2015 to bring together leading senior scientists working in theory, observation and instrumentation. The aim of the meeting is to discuss and identify the community’s future requirements based on recent discoveries and progress in MW astronomy, and how these can best be served by a concerted effort to unify strategies or complemented by a new, next-generation MW satellite.
During metamorphosis of certain insects, the morphology of the larva is quite different from that of the adult. In the fruit fly (Drosophila melanogaster), larvae possess disc-like bags of cells that will develop into complete adult structures. These structures, called imaginal discs, will grow into the eyes, antennae and legs of the adult. This photograph shows two pairs of connected discs that will form the eyes (blue, bottom) and antennae (yellow, top); together, they resemble tropical birds. Studying these imaginal discs can teach us about cell growth, differentiation and development of complex organs. |Print Size||Approximate Total Size With Mat or Mat/Frame|
We have passed the climax of human evolution. The “peak” of availability of all necessary resources for our existence was overreached and from now on, human beings, in less good health, will have to try to maintain their standard of living with less and less energy and raw materials and under the constraints of a more and more hostile environment, by means of less and less successful and stable infrastructures, due to the lack of means of maintenance. In spite of our hopes and our greatest talents, we do not succeed in modifying the course of our evolution. And time’s run out to cowardly get slack: even if we defend ourselves from it we remain all actors of the coming decline, whether we are powerful decision-makers or simple citizens. If we cannot claim obviously any more to exceed our condition, we therefore have to anticipate – at best we can – the future difficulties. In 1970 the Club of Rome, a think tank regrouping scientists, economists, national and international officials, ordered to the MIT (Massachusetts Institute of Technology) a report having for objective to estimate potentialities for the development of Humanity on Earth, by taking into account limiting factors (resources availability, demography, pollution, agricultural yields). Published in 1972, “Limits To Growth” also called “Meadows report”, announces the end of Humanity such as we know it in the course of the 21st century. The 1993 and 2004 revisions (based on comparisons between past predictions and current observations) came to confirm this forecast, and even to notice that the risk had been underestimated. Although the Meadows report, taking into account in particular the political and economic choices that nations could operate, proposed at first several scenarios for the future of Humanity, a “date” appeared as marking a transition: the accumulated factors of the end of easily removable resources, of pollution increase and damages operated on the environment would imply the stop of the human development before a decline inevitably goes on. Today (in March 2014), it is a new report, partially funded by the NASA, which comes to confirm these somber predictions (references at the bottom of page). Some people will retort that the worst is never sure or that evolution of complex systems is difficult to anticipate. But, on one hand, the unpredictability of phenomena does not mean at all that these are not strictly determined, potentially at our disadvantage, and besides there is a convergent beam of reliable models, analyses and measures (every day more precise) which gives evidence of this evolutionary determinism overtaking us and on which we have only the illusion to be able to exercise an influence: – The physical principles of the thermodynamics, which imply in a totally verifiable way that the human development cannot be eternal and that environmental protection is impossible for us: - First principle: anything appears out of nothing, all which is consumed in a finished system exhausts it. - Second principle: phenomena are irreversible, we cannot repair Nature and damages accumulate strictly. – The Meadows report evoked above and from now on other scientific studies completing and confirming the results of this report. – Observation: we already live a worldwide systematic crisis (economic, financial, social, and ecological) which nobody succeeds in solving. – Common sense: when the reserves are empty, the reserves are empty and strict accumulation of pollution in a closed environment (atmospheric, marine, but also farmlands pollutions) can only entail eventually the self-poisoning. To be able to still deny, but this time rationally, the decline to come, it will be necessary to contradict models and arguments evoked here and first of all the thermodynamic principles from which ensue naturally at the same time reality and truth. The date precision which will mark the beginning of the human decline doesn’t matter. It is necessary to retain that the process which will lead to this decline is already going on and that the outcome is sure: while some of us already begin to lose of their advantages (salaries, pensions, healthcare access), tomorrow even the richest won’t be able to maintain their level of comfort and safety and the whole humanity will enter in global decline for the first and maybe last time. Accepting that Humanity is not all powerful, but submitted to overtaking principles which will oblige, in spite of denial, a profound and certainly painful transformation, Adrastia doesn’t envisages to release grip and proposes to those who will wish it to anticipate at best the systematic degradation of our living environments. If common sense and science make us admit from now on that we cannot avoid this pitfall, some questionings remain unsettled we suggest thinking: - How exactly are we not going to succeed in avoiding our decline? - How are we going to approach not only our individual death, but probably a collective, large-scale death? - If the current, already questioned political systems, are not more relevant tomorrow, which ones will replace them? How to protect freedom and democracy when the range of possibilities, our choice of opportunities, is reduced for all? - How shall we avoid or manage the relocation conflicts when fear and hunger will make us eager for the goods of our neighbor, once a friend? - Who will still have means to mitigate the suffering inherent to his comfort loss, to his health degradation, to his security reduction? - In the longer term, if the decline of the human race does not come along with a whirlpool of ecological collapse entailing its total disappearance, who will be the ones who will succeed us? The asserted and assumed choice to consider decline as inevitable, offers the possibility to discuss composedly and reasonably these questions. For example, even if the recommendation will always be to have a minimal impact on the vital ecological balance, it will not be wished to discuss within the Association the problem of environmental protection, as we admit it incompatible with human existence. (Whatever is the considered human being, whatever is his behavior, its environmental impact is never neutral – even less positive – and the damages inherent to his existence have strictly cumulative global effects). As long as the possibilities for the human being to protect the environment or to succeed in an energy transition will not have been demonstrated, they will stay of the register of unfounded and imaginary hope, even belief, what Adrastia is anxious to abandon. Any responsibility discharge on others will be also avoided as far as possible. If every human being impacts negatively on the vital ecological balance, he cannot honestly off-load the weight of his noxious action on another human being arbitrarily appointed guiltier. Speech honesty will be a first objective. Finally, the possibility of a free will and the possibility for Humanity to influence its evolution beyond an overtaking determinism, which weren’t object of a scientific demonstration, will be rejected for the establishment of rational speeches and models. We have to understand and accept that our greatest talents, our greatest pleasures and our capacity to think the world are presents which have a price, which we shall have to pay for, whether we like it or not, whether we are ready for it or not. There is no contrition in the Adrastia initiative, no guilt making, and no moralizing. We can prepare together to what we don’t wish, and we can do it not only by minimizing the suffering, but also certainly by maintaining possible our quest for satisfaction and pleasure. If life makes us dread the outcome, there is no reason to not love it and to not love ourselves any more. There is no reason to not remain deserving and proud. There would be nothing worse in particular than our fears, our illusions and our other weaknesses to make us prepare, in spite of us, these ultimate conflicts that we have been afraid of for so long. Our world is dying of a not held promise, the one that we made to ourselves because we had the vanity to believe that we could take the place of our gods and of the evolution principles that govern our lives. As the worst events do not inevitably have to lead to the worst feelings, we can become reconciled with what made us and with ourselves, to calm our fears and live at best, for the best, as long as possible. - Selective bibliography - Qu’y a-t-il donc dans le “Rapport du Club de Rome” ? by Jean-Marc Jancovici - “Limits to Growth was right.

TEXTILE & PAPER PULP AND PAPER Pulp is a lignocellulosic fibrous material prepared by chemically or mechanically separating cellulose fibres from wood, fiber crops, waste paper, or rags. Many kinds of paper are made from wood with nothing else mixed into them. This includes newspaper, magazines and even toilet paper. Pulp is one of the most abundant raw materials . Paper is a thin material produced by pressing together moist fibres of cellulose pulp derived from wood, rags or grasses, and drying them into flexible sheets. It is a versatile material with many uses, including writing, printing, packaging, cleaning, decorating, and a number of industrial and construction processes. To make pulp from wood, a chemical pulping process separates lignin from cellulose fibres. This is accomplished by dissolving lignin in a cooking liquor, so that it may be washed from the cellulose; this preserves the length of the cellulose fibres. Paper made from chemical pulps are also known as wood-free papers–not to be confused with tree-free paper; this is because they do not contain lignin, which deteriorates over time We are a chemicals distributor with global sourcing capabilities and we offer you solutions for your chemical needs locally by offering you Global Logistics Supply Chain and Trading and Sourcing Expertise.

A drawing of Mulan from Gathering Gems of Beauty (畫麗珠萃秀) Hua Mulan (Chinese: 花木蘭) is a legendary warrior from China. The stories about her are set during various times in China's history. She was first written about in a ballad called the Ballad of Mulan (Chinese: 木蘭辭). In the ballad, Hua Mulan takes her father's place in the army. She practiced martial arts such as kung fu, and was skilled with a sword. She fought for twelve years and became famous, but she refused any reward. Hua Mulan is a real person and did save China.

Technical change was afoot. During World War I, radio technology was greatly accelerated in part by military sponsorship. By the end of the war, the vacuum tube was commercially available for use in low-cost radios as well as radio transmitters and all sorts of other devices. It was not long before various inventors returned to the idea of using an electrical signal from a microphone to drive an electromagnetic disc recording device. With the addition of the vacuum tube, the microphone's weak signal could be stepped up to drive the cutter. While there were numerous proposals to do this, the technical problems were considerable. Edison (who was one of the first to experiment with electrical recording technology, lagged behind his competitors but eventually introduced this electrical recording system for studio use. The Western Electric Company (whose research activities were soon to be taken over by the Bell Telephone Laboratories) developed an electronically amplified, electromagnetic disc cutter of high quality in the early 1920s ,as well as a conventional-looking but improved acoustic phonograph on which to play the resulting records. The new device was marketed to phonograph and record manufacturers (and also became the basis of talking films and "transcription" recorders used in radio stations). In October, 1924, Columbia Phonograph Company experimented with this new "electrical" recording equipment developed by Western Electric. The new records sounded different than those recorded by the acoustic process, and consumers responded well to them. The trade-name "Orthophonic" was attached to both the recording process and the record player. Victor released its last phonograph discs made by the original acoustic process in 1925. Edison meanwhile had announced a long-playing, 12 inch disc capable of holding 20 minutes of music per side. While this format did not become a commercial success, the next year the company marketed its first electrically-recorded "diamond" discs. Struggling, Edison in 1927 offered a phonograph capable of reproducing either Edison vertical cut discs or his competitors' more popular lateral cut discs. Finally, in 1929 Edison ceased production of records and pulled out of the home phonograph business.
Geographical fun : being humourous outlines of various countries, with an introduction and descript ive lines / by "Aleph". In the introduction to the atlas, the author, William Harvey, writing under the pseudonym Aleph, described his intention in creating the atlas: It is believed that illustrations of Geography may be rendered educational, and prove of service to young Scholars who commonly think Globes and Maps but wearisome aids to knowledge. If these geographical puzzles excite the mirth of children, the amusement of the moment may lead to the profitable curiosity of youthful students and embue the mind with a healthful taste for foreign lands. The resulting fanciful caricatures include England in the form of Queen Victoria; Scotland as a gallant Piper struggling through the bogs; Wales in the form of Owen Glendowr; Ireland as a Peasant, happy in her babys smile; France as an Empress of cooks, fashions, and the dance; Spain and Portugal joined in lasting amity; Italy as a revolutionary figure complete with liberty cap; Prussia in the personages of Friedrich Wilhelm and Prime Minister Bismarck; Holland and Belgium as female figures who represent a land . . . and perfect art made grand; Denmark as a female figure with ice skates; and Russia as the classic bear. The atlas was acquired by the Library in 1979. Geographical Fun Atlas Geographical fun : being humourous outlines of various countries, with an introduction and descriptive lines / by "Aleph".

People must learn to hate, and if they can learn to hate, they can be taught to love, for love comes more naturally to the human heart than its opposite." "Racism has historically been defined as the belief that race is the primary determinant of human capacities, that a certain race is inherently superior or inferior to others, and/or that individuals should be treated differently according to their racial designation. People are not born being racist just as they are not born knowing right from wrong. Racism is said to be something that is learned, according to Murray from the American Psychological Association. Children are born ,at least that is what is told by social scientists, with purity, with no predetermined hate of others. Therefore, one can conclude that children learn hatred, racism, and stereotyping. But where does it start from in the first place? Another contributing factor to racism is social and economic status. People are often judged by where they live, how much money they make, what type of car they drive and so on. According to CNN, in 2004 the percentage of Americans living under the poverty level was 12.5%. In this same year the percentage of African Americans living under the poverty level was 24.4%, almost twice the national level. This tends to cause a feeling of superiority amongst some people over the African Americans. This also may cause people to generalize all African Americans as “poor” since the number is so high. In a study done at the University of Michigan it was found that all minorities are viewed negatively by whites in terms of potential for violence. In the essay “Black Men and Public Space,” the author finds that people feel threatened by him because he is black. They see him as a potential danger to their safety and often choose to keep their distance from him even though in reality he poses no threat and is in fact a young grad student. In the same study done at Michigan it was also found that 45% of whites think blacks are lazy; 29% think blacks are unintelligent; less than one in five think Blacks are hard working; and 56% of whites feel that blacks would rather live on welfare than work. The location and environment of this study could also contribute to the results, however they are unknown. According to the national consensus in 2004 the unemployment rate of African Americans was 10.9 % whereas the unemployment rate and whites was 4.9%, and the unemployment rate of Hispanic Americans was 8.2%. This also contributes to the idea that “whites think blacks are lazy” therefore causing a feeling of racial superiority. Not all people who are racist are taught from their parents or an older generation. Sometimes it is the lack of diversity in the area in which one lives. Generally when people are unaccustomed to something they judge it. For example in Wallowa county racism is common due to lack of minorities in the area. One resident of the area acknowledges this also by adding that many of the children who live in the area don’t have much interaction with children of other races because there simply aren’t any in their schools. This also creates an atmosphere of racism These are just some of the causes of racism. There are numerous other factors that contribute the feeling of racial superiority that some people have over others. However the real problem is not only what causes these feelings of animosity but rather the atrocious outcomes that are a result of it." Most hatred is based on fear, one way or another." "A new society cannot be created by reproducing the repugnant past, however refined or enticingly repackaged." NELSON MANDELA, Nobel lecture, 1993

ALKALOIDS AS ANTI-QUALITY FACTORS IN PLANTS ON WESTERN U.S. RANGELANDS. JOURNAL OF RANGE MANAGEMENT. 2001. Interpretive Summary: Alkaloids are a structurally-diverse group of chemical compounds with widely varying biological activities in animals and humans. Range plants that contain alkaloids poison more livestock worldwide than any other class of toxic compounds. Alkaloids usually have pronounced physiological reactions when ingested by livestock, and effects on animal health are often dose-dependent. Our objective in this review is to provide an overview of the effects of alkaloid-containing plants on livestock production on western rangelands and review management solutions. Losses to these plants can be reduced or eliminated by recognizing the toxic plant responsible on specific ranges, understanding when livestock graze the plant and how the toxin affects animals, altering management schemes or animal species to reduce the risk of losses, or using herbicidal control. Management of each toxic plant species is based on knowledge of the temporal and spatial dynamics of alkaloid concentration and consumption by livestock. Losses may be reduced by ensuring that livestock are not exposed or have reduced exposure either during periods of greatest risk (e.g., highest toxin concentrations), or when they are most likely to eat the plant in amounts sufficient to cause toxicity. Technical Abstract: Alkaloids constitute the largest class of plant secondary compounds, occurring in 20 to 30% of perennial herbaceous species in North America. We review 7 major categories of toxic alkaloids, including pyrrolizidine (e.g., Senecio), quinolizidine (e.g., Lupinus), indolizidine (e.g., Astragalus), diterpenoid (e.g., Delphinium), piperidine (e.g., Conium), pyridine (e.g., Nicotiana), and steroidal (Veratrum-type) alkaloids. Clinically, effects on animal production vary from minimal feed refusal to abortion, birth defects, wasting diseases, agalactia, and death. There are marked species differences in reactions to alkaloids. This has been attributed to rumen metabolism, alkaloid absorption, metabolism, excretion or directly related to their affinity to target tissues such as binding at receptor sites. In spite of alkaloids reputed bitter taste to livestock, some alkaloid-containing plant genera (e.g., Delphinium, Veratrum, Astragalus, Oxytropis, and Lupinus) are often readily ingested by livestock. Management schemes to prevent losses are usually based on recognizing the particular toxic plant, knowing the mechanism of toxicity, and understanding the temporal dynamics of plant alkaloid concentration and consumption by livestock. Once these aforementioned aspects are understood, losses may be reduced by maintaining optimal forage conditions, adjusting grazing pressure and timing of grazing, aversive conditioning, strategic supplementation, changing livestock species, and herbicidal control.
Two other studies found fish oil didn't work for an irregular heartbeat condition called atrial fibrillation, even though it is thought to help certain people with heart disease or high levels of fats called triglycerides in their blood. The bottom line: Dietary supplements have varied effects and whether one is right for you may depend on your personal health profile, diet and lifestyle. "Many people take vitamin supplements as a crutch," said study leader Dr. Howard Sesso of Brigham and Women's Hospital in Boston. "They're no substitute for a heart-healthy diet, exercising, not smoking, keeping your weight down," especially for lowering heart risks. The studies were presented Monday at an American Heart Association conference in Los Angeles and the vitamin research and one fish oil study were published in the Journal of the American Medical Association. Multivitamins are America's favorite dietary supplement about one-third of adults take them. Yet no government agency recommends their routine use for preventing chronic diseases, and few studies have tested them to see if they can. A leading preventive medicine task force even recommends against beta-carotene supplements, alone or with other vitamins, to prevent cancer or heart disease because some studies have found them harmful. And vitamin K can affect bleeding and interfere with some commonly used heart drugs. Sesso's study involved nearly 15,000 healthy male doctors given monthly packets of Centrum Silver or fake multivitamins. After about 11 years, there were no differences between the groups in heart attacks, strokes, chest pain, heart failure or heart-related deaths. Side effects were fairly similar except for more rashes among vitamin users. The National Institutes of Health paid for most of the study. Pfizer Inc. supplied the pills and other companies supplied the packaging. The same study a few weeks ago found that multivitamins cut the chance of developing cancer by 8 percent a modest amount and less than what can be achieved from a good diet, exercise and not smoking. Multivitamins also may have different results in women or people less healthy than those in this study only 4 percent smoked, for example. The fish oil studies tested prescription-strength omega-3 capsules from several companies in two different groups of people for preventing atrial fibrillation, a fluttering, irregular heartbeat. One from South America aimed to prevent recurrent episodes in 600 participants who already had the condition. The other sought to prevent it from developing in 1,500 people from the U.S., Italy and Argentina having various types of heart surgery, such as valve replacement. About one third of heart surgery patients develop atrial fibrillation as a complication. Both studies found fish oil ineffective.
It’s hard to discipline children. You can’t hit them. Timeouts are not effective. Now, a study out of the University of Pittsburgh says yelling at teens and tweens — particularly when it involves cursing or insults — can be just as harmful as hitting. So what can you do? Remember that the word “discipline” originally meant to teach, so look for opportunities to coach your child, not just punish him for a misstep. “Discipline implies setting limits and boundaries,” said Vicki Hoefle, mother of six in Middlebury, Vt., and author of “Duct Tape Parenting.” “But the way we do it is, ‘I’m going to punish you when you do something I don’t like.’ It’s a completely wasted moment.” No one wants to yell at their kids, and we usually feel bad when it happens. But most of us didn’t know it could be as damaging as the spankings we got when we were growing up. The University of Pittsburgh study released in September looked at 967 middle school students over a two-year period. Those whose parents used “harsh verbal discipline” such as yelling, cursing and using insults were more likely to be depressed or have behavior problems. The study found it was also not effective in getting children to stop what they were doing, and that it was damaging even to children in homes that were generally warm and loving. “If you yell at your child, you either create somebody who yells back at you or somebody who is shamed and retreats,” said Meghan Leahy, a mother of three and a parenting coach in Washington. “You’re either growing aggression or growing shame. Those are not characteristics that any parents want in their kids.” There is a difference, of course, between being verbally abusive and using a sharply raised voice. Yelling alone is not always damaging, although the surprise of a sudden change in volume can cause a child to be fearful or anxious. It’s often what is said that is harmful, according to Deborah Sendek, program director for the Center for Effective Discipline (CED). “When people raise their voices, the message typically isn’t, ‘Wow, I love you, you’re a great child,’ ” Sendek said. “You’re usually saying something negative, and ripping down their self-esteem.” It’s nearly impossible to never yell at your child. It’s going to happen. Even if you’re not calling your child names or insulting him, though, there are more effective ways to deal with disciplinary problems than yelling, Leahy said. “Teens and tweens, especially, find our sensitive underbellies, and when they are outright defiant and what they do flies in the face of expectations, we do yell,” said Leahy, whose oldest daughter, Sophia, will be 10 in January. “But it’s definitely not in the toolbox of what’s effective discipline.” What can harried parents do to get through to that child who, despite being asked 10 times to brush his teeth, is still playing with the cat and about to be late for school? Here are suggestions from parenting experts on how to keep behavioral problems from turning you into a screaming lunatic, and how to recover from it on the (hopefully rare) occasions when you do yell. Take a break Sometimes you are better off pushing the pause button and revisiting the problem in 20 minutes or the next morning. When Hoefle’s children, now ages 19 to 24, were younger and she felt herself losing her temper, she would put a hard candy in her mouth or look at a sweet picture of her child. That was often enough to make her consider her response more carefully. She also took the unconventional approach of allowing her children to leave the room if she was yelling. Most parents might think seeing their child’s retreating back would escalate their anger, but Hoefle said it made her stop and think about what she was saying, and how it was making her child feel. It was enough of a pause, she said, for her to reconsider how she was handling her anger. “If you find what I’m saying disrespectful, you have permission to leave, because nobody should be subjected to that,” said Hoefle, whose book advises parents to resist the urge to nag and control their kids. “It set up a dynamic where people could get up and walk away and the person yelling would stop and say, ‘I’m sorry.’ My kids would say, ‘I know we didn’t do what you asked, we got distracted, we’re sorry.’ Just the respect goes a long way in re-establishing order.” Put a stop to recurring arguments Figure out when, and why, you’re most often losing your temper, Hoefle said. Do you yell at your son every morning because he’s dawdling in the shower when you are trying to get everyone out the door on time? Then talk to him about what you can do to make things go more smoothly. Come up with a strategy that attacks the root of the problem, whether it’s using a timer to remind him when he needs to get out of the shower, or taking one the night before. If you involve your child in creating the plan, Hoefle said, he is more likely to participate in executing it. “If you can anticipate that it’s going to happen, you can make a plan,” Hoefle said. “If it goes this way all the time, what are you going to do differently as the adult? You can say to your kids, ‘We have to create a morning routine that works for you. What can I do to be of assistance?’ “ Be clear and consistent with expectations Kids want and crave limits and structure, so it’s important to set boundaries and stick to them, the CED’s Sendek said. Don’t get into the habit of asking your child to do something multiple times. Instead, ask her to do something (say, brush her teeth), and tell her what will happen if she doesn’t. Be specific and follow through, even if she tries to bargain her way out of the consequence. Leahy said she calmly refuses to be swayed by her daughter’s attempts to negotiate, recalling a time recently when she told Sophia she wouldn’t drive her to a choir concert at school because Sophia had been disrespectful. “There was a lot of wailing, crying, deep breathing, and then she said, ‘I’m sorry,’ ” Leahy said. “I said thanks, and she looked at me, and I said, ‘I’m still not taking you.’ We don’t want to make our kids feel bad, but at the same time I [held] my boundaries without yelling.” Give your child a say The best way to get your child to buy into consequences is to involve him in creating them, said Jennifer Powell-Lunder, creator of the Web forums It’s a Tween’s Life and Talking Teenage. If you have been struggling to get your child to finish his homework in the evenings, tell him that it has to be done and ready to be checked by 7 p.m. each day, Leahy said. Make it clear to him that if it’s not complete on time, there will be a consequence. Ask him what he thinks would be an appropriate punishment. You might think he won’t take it seriously, and will suggest something along the lines of no broccoli for a week. More often than not, though, children are harder on themselves than you would be, Powell-Lunder said. Work together to figure out the most appropriate consequences for different rule violations. Monitor your tone When you yell, Sendek said, your child will not remember what you said. He will only remember that you yelled, and how upsetting that was. “It’s a physiological response,” Sendek said. “When someone yells, your system goes on hyper-alert.” Instead of yelling, Sendek said, use a stern tone of voice to get your child’s attention and let him know that what you are saying is important. Get face to face with him and make eye contact. Stop arguing and reconnect Take time out from whatever is angering you and spend time reading or playing a game with your child to reconnect, Leahy said. Or if you are fighting about her choice in music, tell her why you dislike it, then ask her what she likes about it. You can always revisit the source of conflict later. “You’re modeling wonderful behavior to your teens, and teaching them that when you have a conflict there are other ways to resolve it and be successful,” Powell-Lunder said of taking the time to count to three and resisting the urge to yell. In Hoefle’s house they called this policy “Stop. Apologize. Eat ice cream.” “I would go into the freezer and get little tubs of sherbet, give everyone a spoon, and we would all take a bite and regroup,” Hoefle said. “Whatever is happening is not as important as the fact that we are family. When we come home tonight we can talk about the problem. But in that moment I want to clean up the mess. It resets the clock.” Let go of the small stuff We all want children with perfect table manners, impeccable hygiene and strong moral character. Sometimes, though, you need to pick what is most important to you, or to your child’s safety, and let some of the irritating, but less dire, behaviors slide, Sendek said. “Decide what are those things that are very critical to you: drugs, sex, alcohol,” she said. “Those should have dire consequences. With other things, say, ‘Okay, you didn’t pick up your shoes and that drives me crazy, but I can live with it.’ “ Model good behavior by apologizing for yelling Even the most patient parents yell occasionally. Kids are hard-wired to push our buttons, and we lose our tempers. If you do yell, the best thing to do is acknowledge the mistake, Leahy said. Leahy said that when she has lost her temper with Sophia, she will write her a note after her daughter has gone to bed. In the note she apologizes for yelling and suggests that they meet the next day to talk about what happened and why she yelled. “There’s nothing wrong with saying you’re sorry, ever,” Leahy said. “It doesn’t mean she’ll get what she wants, but it opens the door to communication, which is all I want to do.”
Is simpler work getting automated and outsourced? I think so. That leaves complex and creative work that continue to be in demand, and even increase. Work that has a high degree of task standardization is getting replaced by machines, and this trend will only accelerate. Andrew McAfee discusses technology’s impact on the labour force in a TEDx Boston presentation, particularly 1) language translation (already here & growing) and 2) automated vehicles (coming soon). If something as complex as translating an article or negotiating a vehicle in heavy traffic is already being automated, how many of today’s jobs will go that way? There will be less demand for standardized human labour, and the whole notion of a standard job will quietly go away. The end of Taylorism cannot come soon enough, in my opinion. McAfee says that networked computers are as revolutionary as was the steam engine, in how they change the way people do work. The steam engine overcame our physical limitations and computers will help us overcome our cognitive limitations. Here’s why, says McAfee: - economies run on ideas, which drive innovation - computers are making innovation more open and inclusive (especially for the bottom of the pyramid) - technology is freeing us to do better things and this trend will increase We are not just losing standardized work tasks but we are gaining the tools and the time to do greater task variety, and of our own choosing. Networked computers allow us to learn informally and share tacit knowledge, leaving the boring stuff to the droids. Probably our greatest limitation is our ability to cast away our old ideas about how we learn. We need to think for ourselves and take advantage of network technologies, wider social connections, improved peer interactions, and informal learning. Economies run on ideas, not assembly lines. Work is learning, and learning is the work.
Dogs have a range of different vaccines which we administer, based on their likelihood of exposure due to their lifestyle. What are these vaccines and why do we recommend protection? Vaccines work by stimulating the immune system to form antibodies, essentially soldiers whose job is to seek out viruses/bacteria and destroy them before they produce ill effects or to reduce disease severity and duration. Distemper Combination Vaccine (DA2PP) This vaccine has a combination of four different viruses: Distemper is virus which attacks many different areas of the body- often the respiratory tract is first, but vomiting/diarrhea, callouses on the nose and footpads, seizures, muscle rigidity, abnormal tooth enamel formation, death, etc. Thank goodness this vaccine is available. With such a severe disease, vaccination has drastically reduced the number of distemper cases present. Since both Adenovirus and Parainfluenza cause the same types of symptoms, I am going to lump them together for this discussion. Both these viruses cause upper respiratory infections initially, but can also lead to bronchitis if left untreated. Most people have heard of this virus, it is highly contagious via feces from dog to dog and can be fatal if left untreated. It can cause a bloody diarrhea, with the most susceptible patients being puppies, especially if they are not fully vaccinated when they are exposed. The vaccine drastically reduces the disease severity, each booster vaccine strengthens the immune system. Rabies is an easily transmitted virus mainly through bites since it is transmitted via saliva, but also can be obtained from drinking from a contaminated puddle (somewhat rare). With Rabies being a fatal virus which attacks the nervous system, this is a public health issue and thus is the only Provincially Mandated Vaccination. All dogs and cats should be kept up-to-date with their rabies vaccinations to keep them, and the people they contact, safe. Treating a dog with leptospirosis can be heartbreaking, they become ill so quickly after drinking from a contaminated puddle, or licking their paws after walking through a contaminated water source. Animals such as rats, squirrels and racoons can harbor the bacteria which is urinated into puddles. The bacteria makes the trip to the liver and/or kidneys, causing the organs to be unable to function. Dogs develop vomiting, dehydration, inappetance, lethargy, and will die without proper treatment. Often times, these dogs are hospitalized for a full week on IV fluids, antibiotics, and medication for their nausea to keep them eating. Even worse, this bacteria can be spread to people via contaminated urine. Ticks are a major issue in this area, especially during spring and fall. Not all ticks transmit Lyme disease, but the Ixodes ticks which can spread the disease are increasing in the area. Lyme disease causes issues such as joint stiffness and pain, kidney damage, lethargy, etc. The lyme vaccine helps to protect our dogs who have been bitten by a lyme infected tick by giving the dog antibodies to fight the lyme bacteria once it is in the body. This is an important vaccine for dogs going in lyme endemic areas such as the Provincial Parks, Ojibway, camping or travelling dogs, since these ticks are found near wildlife such as deer and mice, but also migrating birds! ‘Kennel Cough’ Vaccine (Bordetella, Parainfluenza, Adenovirus) The CIRDC complex- or ‘Canine Infectious Respiratory Disease Complex’ – is a group of bacteria and viruses which cause similar signs of sneezing, coughing, and if the infection spreads to the lungs, a pneumonia. These are diseases easily acquired from breathing in bacteria or viruses which have been sneezed or coughed out by another dog. The locations our dogs are most likely to infect themselves include: a grooming salon, dog park, another dog on the other side of the fence, the vet clinic, etc., any other location where there will be an infect dog nearby. The great news about the vaccine is, while our dogs can still pick up the bacteria or virus, they are going to be better protected from actually becoming ill from these infectious agents. It may mean a few days of coughing in a vaccinated patient, versus a fatal pneumonia in an unvaccinated patient. Now, after learning all this information, think about your dog. What are they exposed to (other dogs, wildlife, ticks, puddles), and what should your dog be protected against?
Plants beautify your home and make it livelier. At the same time, your plants can also offer you something on a completely different level: You learn with them and develop further: You learn to be patient. Plants take a long time to grow. An orchid needs half a year to develop a completely new stem and then another three months for flowering. Germinating an avocado seed can take up to two months. It will take another six to ten years and a lot of warmth before you can harvest your own avocados. You become more alert. Over time, you'll get a sense of when your plant needs water and how much. You will learn how to take care of it and give it a perfect location in your home. Plus, after a while, you'll know what she doesn't like so much. A spider plant, for example, reacts very sensitively to unintentional stripping of the leaves and needs its own personal space to feel good! You take responsibility. Because the plant is dependent on you - its plant life is more or less in your hands. So, are you ready to evolve with her?
Seeds of MSA diet breadth19 Dec 2009 Julio Mercader reports in a short Science paper that the MSA stone artifacts from Ngalue cave, Mozambique, preserve thousands of grains of sorghum starch, along with a few other grasses and palm pith. The role of starchy plants in early hominin diets and when the culinary processing of starches began have been difficult to track archaeologically. Seed collecting is conventionally perceived to have been an irrelevant activity among the Pleistocene foragers of southern Africa, on the grounds of both technological difficulty in the processing of grains and the belief that roots, fruits, and nuts, not cereals, were the basis for subsistence for the past 100,000 years and further back in time. A large assemblage of starch granules has been retrieved from the surfaces of Middle Stone Age stone tools from Mozambique, showing that early Homo sapiens relied on grass seeds starting at least 105,000 years ago, including those of sorghum grasses. This is another of those very interesting technical developments in archaeology. The use of grass seeds may not be surprising in itself. Some think that australopithecines were eating grass seeds for a substantial amount of their diet; some (notably Clifford Jolly and Jonathan Kingdon) have suggested that grass seeds were one of the resources that prompted the evolution of bipedality. The dental reduction in early humans doesn’t argue strongly against seed consumption; they are an important part of the diet for many recent hunter-gatherers including Australians. But it’s nice to see a direct confirmation that humans were gathering seeds relatively intensively. How intensive? Well, there is a slight problem: It is not clear why the tools should be mostly coated with grass starches and not so much with other types of starch. It is possible that high-starchbearing grass refuse built up considerably in the caves main chamber at times of human occupation, thus coating both tools that were used in the processing of grass seeds and others that were not. Hmmm. On the one hand, that means pretty intensive grass collection. On the other, if such a substantial fraction of the actual sedimentary debris in the cave was composed of anthropogenic plant waste, it’s probably not possible to get an accurate picture of the importance of the seeds as a fraction of the diet. It’s a data point: these people, living around this cave, used a lot of Sorghum grasses and processed seeds in some way with stone tools. It makes me wonder about what non-stone implements they may have used. Winnowing baskets? Mercader J. 2009. Mozambican grass seed consumption during the Middle Stone Age.

When Polish composer Frederic Chopin died in 1849 he seemed to have suffered a classic Romantic death from tuberculosis. But doubts soon arose about the diagnosis, and a scientific examination of the heart earlier this year, while at first appearing to confirm the TB theory, left the mystery unresolved. It was the dead of night when a secret ceremony took place at a church in the Polish capital, Warsaw, in April this year. A crystal jar, encased in one of the church's pillars, was removed and its contents examined solemnly by genetic and forensic scientists. "The spirit of this night was very sublime," forensic scientist Tadeusz Dobosz told the Associated Press news agency. The jar contained a heart preserved in alcohol - most likely cognac - for more than 160 years. It belonged to arguably Poland's most famous son, the great composer and pianist Frederic Chopin. The scientists wanted to check that it was in good condition and to answer the question - what killed the man whose works are regarded by Poles as the musical embodiment of their country? Chopin died in an apartment in Place Vendome, in Paris, on 17 October 1849, at the age of 39. France's greatest authority on tuberculosis had diagnosed him with the disease months earlier, and duly noted it as the cause on the death certificate. But things then became less clear. The same doctor, Jean Cruveilhier, removed Chopin's heart and carried out an autopsy. Precisely what he recorded is not known - the notes he made were lost. However, reports suggest he referred to something other than TB, a "disease not previously encountered". What could that be? Then in September, the debate appeared to be over. The forensic and genetic scientists who had gathered months earlier at the Holy Cross Church in Warsaw for that unprecedented examination revealed their conclusions at a news conference. Chopin's heart was well preserved and bore "TB nodules" they reported. It was also "much enlarged, suggesting respiratory problems, linked to a lung disease". It looked like TB, after all. End of story. But the examination was only visual. No tissue sample was taken for testing. The jar bearing Chopin's heart had not been opened, and had never left the church. Is a visual examination of a heart inside a jar enough to give conclusive proof of TB? Sebastian Lucas, Emeritus Professor of Pathology at Guy's and St Thomas' Hospital in London, says probably not. "If the heart was involved in the TB, it would in many cases be affected by pericarditis, an inflammation around the heart," he says. "TB pericarditis can be nodular or a diffuse process. Nodules sound good for TB as the diagnosis, but other diseases can mimic that appearance - cancer, and a fungus infection such as aspergillosis. You can't tell which one by the naked eye." The scientists who carried out the examination had wanted to open the jar and test its contents, but faced implacable opposition from "everybody, starting with the great great granddaughter of one of Chopin's sisters", Prof Dobosz said in September. Other opponents, he told Gazeta Wyborzca, included the previous director of Poland's Chopin Institute and the Archbishop of Warsaw, Cardinal Kazimierz Nycz. To understand this opposition, it's worth considering what Chopin means to Poland. Frederic Chopin 1810-1849 - Child prodigy of a French father and Polish mother, whose playing was in demand among the aristocracy of Warsaw - Had a Polonaise published when he was aged only seven - Wrote Nocturnes and short pieces in dance forms, such as Mazurkas, Waltzes and Polonaises, throughout his career The composer left Warsaw aged 20, never to return. Throughout his life Poland did not exist. It had been swallowed by Russia, Prussia and Austria in 1795, and only re-materialised as an independent country 123 years later. Chopin's patriotism found expression in his music, and for Poles it came to symbolise Polish nationalism. His dying wish was for his heart to be removed before burial - in Paris's Pere Lachaise cemetery - and his sister then smuggled it past Russian guards into Poland. Many years later, in September 1939 the pianist Wladyslaw Szpilman happened to be in the middle of a live broadcast of a Chopin nocturne when German bombs fell on the radio station and he was forced off air. On his return to Warsaw Radio in 1945, having survived the utter destruction of the city and the Holocaust, he began by playing the same nocturne - a story immortalised in Roman Polanski's film The Pianist. To meddle with the heart of a man so bound-up with the struggles for Poland would, for many Poles, be sacrilegious. "There would be a feeling of desecration," explains Rose Cholmondeley, president of the London-based Chopin Society. "It's like a holy relic, and there is something distasteful about DNA analysis." But Cholmondeley also thinks there could be another reason why a DNA test might make people uncomfortable. "It's not absolutely certain it's Chopin's heart," she says. The legend is that a German soldier removed the heart from its pillar in the church during the war, before both the church and the pillar were flattened. It is then said to have passed through a variety of hands before being returned to a Polish cardinal. In a bizarre twist, one of the men who supposedly looked after the heart and saved it from destruction is the same man who carried out that destruction - SS Gen Erich von dem Bach-Zelewski, commander of the German forces that put down the Warsaw Uprising with great brutality in the summer of 1944. But as Rose Cholmondeley says, it's hard to know how much of this is true, and the possibility remains that the heart reinterred in the pillar of the church in October 1945, amid patriotic celebration in the ruins of a devastated city, is not Chopin's. Prof Dobosz disagrees. The April inspection, in his view, dispelled these doubts. "The condition, the appearance of the preservative, the type of thread used for stitching the heart following dissection in Paris, the type of jar - all, in our opinion, are of the era," he said during the scientists' news conference. The jar was resealed in the church pillar, with a recommendation that it be left undisturbed until 2064. What is TB? - Serious condition caused by bacterium mycobacterium tuberculosis - Mainly affects the lungs, but can affect other parts of the body, including bones and nervous system - Was a major health problem in 18th and 19th Century Europe and North America, but was brought under control in 20th Century by improved hygiene and antibiotic treatment - Remains a fatal disease in countries where population is dense and hygiene is poor The diagnosis of TB could be regarded as inevitable in Chopin's case. He was a deeply Romantic figure. The stirring passion and emotion of his music led his German contemporary Robert Schumann to describe it as "cannons hidden among flowers". And Chopin's appearance - thin, small, very pale - corresponded to the stereotype of the Romantic consumptive. "Chopin coughs with infinite grace" wrote his lover, the novelist George Sand. Prof Clark Lawlor of Northumbria University has published a book on the depiction of consumption in literature. The first half of the 19th Century saw TB eulogised as the way for an artist to die, he says. If a fatal illness could ever be considered attractive, than it was TB. "It's a bit like heroin chic," says Lawlor, "A Romantic idea of consumption as the glamorous disease of the beautiful and the genius. How can any disease be fashionable, how can any disease be Romantic? But it reached this paradoxical position in the 19th Century." It's tempting to see a blurring of fact and fiction in Chopin's death. But even so, the original explanation of what killed him may still be the most credible one. "TB was the single most common cause of death in Europe and North America. It was an enormous killer. On a statistical basis, he died of TB rather than Cystic Fibrosis," says Prof Lucas. While he agrees that Chopin did exhibit some of the characteristics of a CF sufferer and someone affected by Alpha-1-AT, he says they could all apply just as well to someone with TB. He also doubts whether any testing of tissue now could prove conclusively what killed Chopin, and for that reason his heart - assuming it is his heart - should be left to rest in peace, he says. "Histopathology of the pericardium might indicate TB, but if it's normal no disease is proven or excluded. Genetic tests for CF would probably be inconclusive. So that's why I don't think they should do it." No-one may be able to say conclusively what killed Frederic Chopin. But the Church of the Holy Cross in Warsaw will continue to be a place of pilgrimage for Chopin devotees - convinced that the heart resting there is that of the greatest of all Polish patriots.

The U.S. federal government has produced a new environmental assessment of the proposed Keystone XL pipeline from western Canada to Nebraska, but it is not clear if the report will facilitate the project's approval. “The environmental analysis of Keystone XL released today once again supports the science that this pipeline would have minimal impact on the environment,” said Russ Girling, president and CEO of Calgary-based TransCanada. “The next step is making a decision on a Presidential Permit for Keystone XL. I believe that this project continues to be in the national interest of the United States for two main reasons: supporting U.S. energy security and the thousands of jobs our multi-billion dollar project will create.” The U.S. Department of State released the Final Supplemental Environmental Impact Statement (SEIS) on Jan. 31 in response to a new application by TransCanada in 2012 for a Presidential Permit to construct the Keystone XL Pipeline. A 30-day comment period for the project began on Feb. 5 and will close on Mar. 7, 2014. During this period, members of the public and other interested parties are encouraged to submit comments in the national interest. The analysis in the final SEIS builds on the draft statement released on Mar. 1, 2013 and other documents that were part of the previous pipeline application. The issue of Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions is critical to determining whether this project will go forward. President Barack Obama said in his climate change speech last June that the pipeline should be approved only if it does not significantly exacerbate the problem of carbon pollution. The total life cycle emissions associated with production, refining, and combustion of 830,000 barrels per day of oilsands crude oil transported through the proposed project is about 147 million to 168 million metric tonnes of carbon dioxide equivalents per year. This is equivalent to the GHG emissions from about 300,000 passenger vehicles operating for one year, or 71,928 homes using electricity over the same time. However, the Pembina Institute argues that the final SEIS is an improvement over the State Department’s March 2013 draft report. “The assessment now acknowledges that under some circumstances, constraints on new pipeline capacity could have ‘a substantial impact on oilsands production levels,’” said Clare Demerse, federal policy director at the Pembina Institute. “In other words, building the Keystone XL pipeline could help spur increased oilsands production and the carbon pollution that goes with it. President Obama said he will only approve Keystone XL if it does not significantly worsen carbon pollution. By that standard, Keystone XL is not in the U.S. national interest.” According to the final SEIS, Western Canadian Sedimentary Basin (WCSB) crudes are generally more GHG intensive than other heavy crudes they would replace or displace in U.S. refineries. As a result, WCSB crudes emit an estimated 17 per cent more GHGs on a lifecycle basis than the average barrel of crude oil refined in the U.S. in 2005. The proposed Keystone XL pipeline expansion is a 3,200-kilometre, 36-inch crude oil pipeline stretching from Hardisty, Alberta to a delivery point near existing terminals in Nederland, Texas. The U.S. portion of the proposed project is estimated to cost about US$3.3 billion and provide the infrastructure to transport oil from the Canadian border and connect to an existing pipeline near Steele City Nebraska. Construction of the proposed project would include the pipeline itself plus various above ground ancillary facilities, such as access roads, pump stations, and construction camps. President Obama followed the recommendation of the U.S. Department of State in January 2012 to deny the permit for construction of the project. The National Interest Determination process focused on the unique characteristics in the Sand Hills and argued the pipeline’s route poses a significant threat to the Ogallala aquifer, which supplies drinking and irrigation water to eight states. This includes 30 per cent of the water used for irrigation in the U.S. TransCanada submitted alternative routing corridors and a preferred corridor to the Nebraska’s Department of Environmental Quality in April 2012. As a result, TransCanada split up the construction of pipeline by building the southern portion first, which prevented the review of the Presidential Permit from delaying the entire project. The US$2.3 billion Gulf Coast project from Cushing, Oklahoma to Nederland, Texas went into operation in January. The National Energy Board (NEB) approved an application from TransCanada to construct the Canadian section of the Keystone XL Pipeline in March 2010. The $1.7 billion Canadian portion of the project involves the construction of about 529 kilometres of new pipeline from Hardisty, Alberta to the Canada/U.S. border at Monchy, Saskatchewan.
The human heart has a complex system that drives it to pump the blood from the whole body. There are four chambers of the heart which work in the form of one unit to keep the heart beat going and maintain the rhythm of their function. What is natural pacemaker of the heart? It is natural to think from where the command for this rhythm comes? The answer to this is very simple. Between the right atrium and right ventricle, at the floor of the right atrium, the heart is supplied by a Sinoatrial node abbreviated as SA node. It is the Sinoatrial node which is responsible for the rhythm and rate of the heart that we possess. SA node has its own ability to generate nerve impulses and send the command to AV node and to the muscles of the right and left ventricles through the Purkinje fibers and also through the right and left bundle branches. Artificial pacemaker of the heart The normal rate of the heart is because of the above mentioned conducting system of the heart. But, in some conditions, this normal conducting system is disturbed because the pacemaker of the heart aka Sino atrial node does not function properly. In such circumstances, scientists are able to formulate an artificial pacemaker which functions exactly like the natural one. Recent models of the artificial pacemaker are so convenient to use and user-friendly both for the patient and the doctor. Indications for artificial pacemaker of the heart There are certain relative and absolute indications for implantation of an artificial pacemaker. The most important and absolute indication is the third-degree heart block associated with one or two attacks of Stokes Adams syncope. Relative indication of implantation of an artificial pacemaker is the congenital heart block at any stage in life. Although it is not practiced usually studies have shown that implantation of artificial pacemaker has proved to be lifesaving and has improved the quality of life of such patients. Common forms of artificial pacemakers As discussed earlier, pacemakers have been devised in hundreds of forms. The most suitable device for the specific case and affordability of the patients is selected and implanted. Below, we are mentioning the most commonly used forms of artificial pacemakers. - Single chamber pacemaker In a single chamber pacemaker, a pacing lead is inserted into one chamber of the heart. It is either inserted in the right atrium or in the right ventricle. - Double chamber pacemaker As the name indicates, it is inserted into the two chambers of the heart. It is always implanted in the right heart and is by far the most used method if implantation of an artificial pacemaker. - Biventricular pacing A biventricular pacemaker uses the phenomenon of insertion of the pacemaker into the right and left ventricles both. Pacemaker wallet card A pacemaker wallet card is advised to be kept in the wallet of a patient with an artificial pacemaker implanted in him. It is for the identity as well as used in the case of an emergency. One such card has been designed and prepared by American Heart Association which one can use in case of need.
Since their emergence at the end of the nineteenth century, the ideology of Syrian Salafis has been transformed. The two most important centres where this process took place were Damascus and Aleppo. Initially, the Syrian Salafi movement was akin to reformist Salafis, who originated in Egypt through the teachings of Sheikh Muhammad Abdu. Its main icons were religious and intellectual people of stature, including Sheikh Abdul Rahman Al-Kawakibi (1849–1902), Sheikh Jamal al-Din al-Qasimi (1914–1966), and Sheikh Muhammad Rashid Rida (1865–1935). Their primary concern was politics. Shami (Levantine) Salafi thought is not different from the ideology of the Salafi reformist school in Egypt. A large number of the early and senior national politicians were influenced by the ideas of the leaders of this school, particularly those of Qasimi. He coordinated a forum attended by the likes of Lutfi al-Haffaar, Abdul Rahman al-Shahbandar, Faris Al-Khouri, Rafiq al-Azm, Mohammad Kurd Ali, Salim al-Jaza’iri, Abd al-Hamid al-Zahrawi, and others. Several organisations branched off from Levantine reformist Salafi thought, and rapidly began to play important roles in political life. The most important of these was al-Jam’iah al-Gharra (The Radiant Assembly), which was founded by Sheikh Abdul Ghani al-Daker in 1924. It tried to engage with social changes that had resulted through the importation of modern western life. Its activities had broad social impact, and it began to receive support from politicians and other people of power who hoped to use this support to attract votes. These included Shukri al-Qutali who, through the encouragement of the Assembly, succeeded in the 1943 parliamentary elections. Another supporter was the Assembly’s Secretary, Sheikh Abdul Hamid al-Tabbah. He was placed on the coalition’s candidates’ list, and was elected to the Syrian parliament in 1943. The Jam’iah al-Tamaddun al-Islami (Society of the Islamic Civilisation) was founded in 1930 by Ahmed Mazhar al-Azmah – who later became a minister, and Bahjat al-Baitar, a student who had been associated with Qasimi. In 1946 the society launched, with its name, a magazine that might be considered the most important record of the Levantine Salafi reformist movement and its activities. The Assembly was shut down after the 1982 Hama massacre. Despite the disbanding of political parties, and the abolition of democratic life in Syria for the sake of the unity with Egypt, the Levantine Salafi reformists remained loyal to their principles. After the 1963 coup by the Syrian Ba’ath party, and the subsequent dissolution of political parties and undermining of political pluralism, the reformist Salafi movement began to disintegrate. Its institutions transformed into mere charities, and its journals became cultural publications. Its followers engaged in controversies about dogma, with this trend reaching its peak at the end of the 1970s. That was followed by a shift to an academic Salafi movement, typified by a debate between Sheikh Said Ramadan Buti and Sheikh Nasser al-Din al-Albani. The seeds of jihadist Salafism The first seeds of the jihadist Salafism were planted during Hafez al-Asad’s rule, in a regional and international environment that witnessed several heated conflicts. These included the Second Gulf War, which was followed by a harmful economic blockade of Iraq; the coup against Islamists in Algeria after their victory in the elections; and the genocide in Bosnia against Muslims. Furthermore, the period witnessed the end of the Afghanistan war of liberation from Soviet occupation, the return of many Arab Afghans to their country, and revelations of the suffering of Syrian Islamists in prisons after hundreds of them were released from 1992. Over 17 000 prisoners had been subjected to mass executions. Videos, books, and articles that emphasised the massacres of Bosnia, as well as the Arab jihad in Afghanistan, were circulating internationally. As such, the international community had a limited opportunity to recognise the suffering of Muslim communities abroad. In the mid-1990s, ‘jihad’ was declared against the Russians in order to gain Chechen independence, as was obtained by other countries that had previously been part of the Soviet Union. These factors galvanised the younger Syrian generation towards a jihadist orientation. They formed unregulated small groups based on their common jihadist interest. This phenomenon certainly did not arise from the Islamic and Syrian political memory of the 1980s, or directly from the jihadist literature. Rather, they were influenced by some of the newly emerging Salafi symbols of the Afghan and the Caucasus jihads, and some of the new Salafi symbols of the Islamic awakening in Saudi Arabia. More specifically, they were influenced by the charisma of Sheikh Abdullah Azzam, who had become a symbol of the Arab Afghan jihad after he had been killed in 1993 in Pakistan with two of his sons. Azzam represented the ideology of the pioneer fighters of a global jihad. The first Palestinian intifada, which broke out in 1987 and lasted until 1993, and the activities of the Palestinian Islamic resistance organisations – Hamas and Islamic Jihad, was significant and impressive. It inspired and encouraged younger generations. This response was similar to that associated with southern Lebanon and the Lebanese resistance group Hizbullah, which was launched in 1985, and achieved victories under revolutionary Islamic slogans. The ‘negative effects’ of sectarian differences in Syria did not prevent the acceptance of jihadist forces, which were significantly influenced by the Lebanese resistance. Hizbullah’s impact was on par with that of its neighbours in Palestine. The Soviet Union, on the other hand, which had long supported Asad’s regime, had collapsed, and the Marxist doctrine suffered its final defeat. This increased local and international interest in Islam. The regime created alliances with and supported some religious groups, particularly those that were hostile to the Muslim Brotherhood. It did so in order to control the ‘Islamic awakening’ which Syria and the region witnessed, and which could have posed a threat to the regime. The escalation of the Islamic awakening and the emergence of Islamic movements in neighbouring countries influenced Sheikh Muhammad Said Ramadan Al Buti. He was a senior religious scholar who was well respected among many Sunni Syrians. He was the most prominent opponent of Salafism and the closest religious personality to the Asad regime. He was also well-known for his opposition to the Muslim Brotherhood. The Brotherhood had begun in Egypt and its founder was Hasan al-Banna. The group advocated physical action and, if necessary, war to achieve Islamic ends. Buti, however, was a government supporter. Buti could therefore not confront the Syrian Muslim Brotherhood physically. However, the government used him to direct Sunni Muslims away from taking up arms against the state. This was done by funding his writing of government-approved books against the real principles of jihad, in order to confront the jihadist ideology in Islamic jurisprudential terms. This was exemplified in his book Jihad in the path of God: How do we understand it and how do we practise it? (1993), which justified the repression of the Syrian regime against the Islamists. The fast-moving developments, suppression of the media, and limited progress in communication led to the growth of a new sentiment. The younger generations who had experienced the suppression of the Islamist movement in the eighties became anti-American and opposed the Arab regimes. This mood generally led them to individually embrace Salafi jihadist ideas. Its ideas were spread through wide network of literature and video distribution. This methodology was based on the experience of the Arab Afghan mujahideen, but those who used it were still unable to act cohesively. The bloody tragedy during the repression in the 1980s had left deep scars. The resultant fear continues to penetrate into society, to the extent that, until recently, it was not even acceptable in Syrian society to support any organisation that adopted violence against the Syrian regime. With these factors hindering progress internally, the new jihadist Salafi forces automatically focused externally. The regime did not waste time in providing them with the necessary facilities, and invested in them. Accordingly, it began to tolerate Islamist organisations abroad such as Hizbullah, Hamas, Islamic Jihad, and the Jordanian Muslim Brotherhood at unprecedented levels. This occurred simultaneously with its violent and intolerant suppression of any organised Islamic Syrian opposition. It threatened the Syrian community in several ways by reminding people of the suppression of the 1980s. These factors made it even more difficult for the Syrians to accept the Salafi jihadist ideology. The domestic Salafi jihadist Abu Musab al-Suri, one of the second-tier leaders from among the vanguard fighters, and one of the icons of al-Qa’ida, issued a statement on the death of President Hafez al-Asad, complaining about the reluctance of the Syrians for jihad, and bitterly noting that many Syrians had become ‘content with the life of this world’, and had ‘found tranquillity’ in it. He said that they would reject his words, and would take revenge against those who call for jihad. He blamed ‘many evil’ sheikhs and Sunnis for, from 1986 to 2000, ‘killing...the seeds of resistance’. The events of 11 September 2001, he said, had stimulated the Salafi jihadi everywhere. He believed the internet’s entry into Syria had made it easier for Syrians to communicate with the jihadist world. Scores of people were arrested when the Syrian authorities, cooperating with the American CIA, investigated groups with possible links to al-Qa’ida. Everyone suspected of being a Salafi, (including those who were not jihadists and not linked to any ‘terrorist’ organisation) was summoned and interrogated. Among those arrested was Shakir al-Absi, who later became the leader of a new jihadist organisation in Lebanon named Fath al-Islam. He had direct links with the Syrian intelligence services. While preparations were taking place for the American-led occupation of Iraq, the atmosphere in the media and within the population, hinted at the creation of a wave of new jihadists. Jihadists were growing on the basis of confronting the ‘infidel’ West’s violation of Muslim lands. The official Syrian clergy as well as those who were allied to the Syrian regime, had discussions, and politicians made official statements regarding this jihadist mobilisation. On 26 March 2003, the mufti of the republic, Sheikh Ahmad Kuftaro, called Muslims in all parts of the world to jihad. In essence, the call was intended to ‘use all possible means to defeat the aggression, including martyrdom operations against the invading soldiers’. This call for an ‘obligatory jihad’ was repeated by Sheikh al-Buti in Friday sermons. He urged young Muslims to ‘proceed to great reward, which God Almighty and All Glorious has saved stored for the fighters.’ Many other clerics adopted the same approach. In conjunction with this mobilisation, the young Sheikh Mahmoud Qul Aghassi began to gain prestige in a very poor area in north Aleppo, where the Salafi jihadist discourse was publicly adopted. Under the nose of the regime, he coached his followers in the Alaa Bin Hadrami Mosque on combat operations. He also widely disseminated CDs which contained videos of these exercises in military uniform, and spirited jihadist speeches. He thus played an important role in mobilising youth and preparing them for jihad, which had just been launched in Iraq. In the autumn of 2003, however, fatwas (juridical decrees) were issued to jihadist groups in Iraq to assassinate him because he was a ‘security trap for hundreds of youngsters who believed his claim’. He subsequently disappeared, only to emerge two years later with a well-kept beard. He became a Salafi reformist imam at the Iman Mosque in a new upscale Aleppo area. He was assassinated on 28 September 2007, however, by a group calling itself ‘Tawhid and Jihad in the Levant’. It was subsequently discovered that this group did not exist except in the official media. Hundreds of young Syrians rushed to Iraq and committees in support of Iraq were formed. These facilitated the volunteering of youth, and their transfer to the battlefield. Most volunteers for jihad in Iraq did not go to the battle on the basis of a Salafi jihadist ideology, but, instead were led by mixed feelings of Arab and Islamic chivalry. Many were inspired by Hizbullah’s successful experience in southern Lebanon, and its defeat of Israel in 2006. Returning to Syria was not as easy as leaving, however, and many returnees were summoned for investigation. On 27 March 2004, the Syrian government alluded to an ‘Islamic threat’ facing the country, after pressure from the USA and the coalition forces. The government declared, via the official Syrian Arab News Agency (SANA), that there had been a clash in Damascus between an armed terrorist group and security forces. Since the 1980s, such a situation was the first of its kind in Syria. Many questioned the credibility of the report, and western media dismissed it. There was a common belief that the story was ‘locally formulated’. Thereafter, the announcements of jihadist operations ended. During a meeting of the United Nations Commission against Terrorism in June 2005, the then Interior Minister Ghazi Kanaan said there was ‘absolutely no activity of al-Qa’ida or the Taliban movement on Syrian territory’. Nevertheless, after only one month, on July 11, 2005, there was an announcement of an armed clash resulting in the arrest of members of ‘takfiri’ groups (groups that considered other Muslims to be disbelievers), and a group calling itself ‘Jund al-Sham li al-jihad wa al-Tawhid’ (Levantine army for jihad and monotheism) which had links to al-Qa’ida. This was followed by other, similar announcements. Several experts believed these operations had been fulfilled by small, isolated local groups, without international connections. There were also those who believed that the regime had employed these groups to generate internal and external propaganda. Human rights organisations, however, provided information (including details of indictment records and trials) that showed that the spread of the Salafi jihadist ideology was extremely limited. They proved that the associated groups were small and of varying size, and did not have a unified leadership. They were influenced by the ideas of international organisations such as Jund al-Sham li al-Da’wah wa al-Jihad (Levantine army for Calling and Jihad) and Takfir wa al-Hijra, or even Al-Qa’ida. The state media claimed that Al-Qaeda had existed in Syria. This was untrue. The state prepared a list of accusations against Sunni Islamists in advance, in order to justify repression. These accusations were based on unreliable evidence, as noted by human rights lawyer, Razan Zaytuna. The striking point is that the large number of detainees accused of being Salafis, Salafi jihadists, or of being affiliated to ‘terrorist’, radical religious organisations, were from the rural parts of Damascus and other areas. Those from the major Syrian cities were a fraction of the detainees. This strengthens the notion that in conjunction with local politics and regional circumstances, poverty and marginalisation play an important role in stimulating jihadist ideology. Accordingly, no strictly Salafi jihadist religious organisation existed. Studies suggest that there is a continued rise in the spread of the Salafi protest ideology, and a shift of many young Salafis from Salafi religious thought to Salafi jihadist ideology. For many, this shift occurred during their prison experience, especially since the vast majority of Salafi detainees did not belong to jihadist groups, and their jihadist ideas had not been clearly developed. At the time, there were no groups even within prison that believed in undertaking jihad operations within Syria. As such, the repressive security policy used by the regime against Salafis, and the exceptionally unfair trials that did not function according to the minimum standards of justice, led to the expansion of Salafi ideology. Provoking Shi’a proselytising From the beginning of 2005, the Asad regime adopted a new policy. The Iranian, Iraqi and Lebanese Shi’as were allowed, under security cover and with unprecedented facilities, to proselytise their beliefs. It was subsequently noted that that missionary call also provided Iran an advanced popular base in Syria. The roots of this lie in the moment that Bashar al-Asad came to power as an inheritance from his father, and the strengthening of the Iranian-Syrian alliance. In fact, many factors strengthened the strategic relationship between Syria, Hizbullah and Iran. There were two defining events: the occupation of Iraq in 2003, and the assassination of Rafeek Hariri in Beirut in 2005. These events made it clear that the extreme pressure on the regime may lead to its collapse, and therefore the alliance had an important role in maintaining the regime. This relationship was invested in as a bargaining chip and a means by which to pressure Arab regimes and the international community. That was one of the main reasons for the repressive security policy towards Salafis, and, in particular, towards the Salafi jihadist groups, which formed a bitter sectarian rival to Shiism. As a result, most Sunni Muslims and even the Christian minorities began to experience a deep sense of discrimination and deception in government policies, especially in comparison to the privileges and subsidies enjoyed by the small Shi’a minority. It seemed as if most government measures were directed against specific sectarian and religious groups. In this way, during Asad’s reign, government policies played a role in the growing phenomenon of Salafism and Salafi jihadism, as it increasingly played on sectarian instincts. For the first time, jihadist forces were protesting against domestic policies. This would create fertile ground for the development of jihadist Salafis. Non-violent Salafi revolutionaries Within the Salafi educated section of the Circassian Caucasian minority, a trend emerged towards a new, non-violent Salafism. It did not materialise until the early 1980s, and was promoted on a limited basis, among only a few groups. It is possible that Islamic thought had not witnessed an Islamist movement, let alone Salafism, that considered any form of violence illegal, including violence in self-defence. The leader of this trend was Sheikh Jawdat Said (born 1931), from the Circassian minority. Since the early 1980s, he had begun to spread his Islamic philosophy of non-violence. He was well aware of the possibility and implications of political arrests, which he had experienced on several occasions. Said had been influenced by the ideologies of Pakistani reformist thinker Muhammad Iqbal, and Algerian reformist thinker Malik Bennabi. It appears that Said had launched his theory of non-violence as a reaction to the events of the 1980s. His intellectual reference points, however, and the lessons that he had delivered for many earlier in al-Murabit Mosque in Damascus, reflected an ideological trajectory that was different from that of Islamists of the period. In 1966, his book The doctrine of the first son of Adam: The problem of violence in the Islamic World was published as a response to the Muslim Brotherhood’s approach of using political violence. The importance of this book lies in the fact that it was the first attempt in modern history to formulate the concept of a non-violent Islamism, and was the first direct response to the writings of Sayyid Qutb (died in 1966), which had formed the intellectual foundation of Islamic resistance movements. Said was unable to form an organisation that believed in his ideas. This changed in the early 1990s, when major global events occurred, including the fall of the Soviet Union and the Second Gulf War, sparking the need for new thinking. Said was able to fill some of the symbolic void left by the 1980s, but the group he had formed began to disintegrate towards the end of the 1990s, influenced by events in Syria that drove people to extremism and militancy. Despite this, a select group of students continued to admire his views. They included Hanan al-Lahham, who had been his student, was an active preacher, and who led her own women’s group; his brother-in-law, Khalis Chalabi, an author and known Islamic thinker; and a group of activists who centred around the Salafi Sheikh, Abdul Akram al-Saka in the town of Darya. The principle of non-violence was not just an enlightened religious thought, but was, in essence, an idea of political reform. Although Said did not show any personal political aspirations, he did not hide his desire for a peaceful change of the political system. The arrest of members of the ‘Darya group’ in 2003 was an indication of the growth of the impact of Said’s ideology of non-violence. Nearly a hundred young people emerged in a silent demonstration on the morning of the fall of Baghdad to American forces. They raised anti-corruption slogans, called for a boycott of American goods, and cleaned the streets of the city. The authorities arrested twenty-four of the protesters on 3 May 2003. Despite their protest being non-violent, they were referred to field military courts because they were Salafis, albeit of a non-violent strand. The fall of Baghdad was a milestone for the leader of the non-violent Salafi group. Since then, in all forums and public intellectual meetings that he attended, Sheikh Said had begun to wear a white jacket upon which ‘European Union’ was written in his own handwriting. This was to encapsulate his political idea that a union based on interests is a solution rather than an opportunity for conflict and violence. This was his first public activity that clearly indicated his political stance. The group engaged with political thought, which they expressed mainly through religious Qur’anic vocabulary. Said became one of the most prominent signatories of the ‘Damascus Declaration for Democratic National Change’ in October 2005. The declaration united political opposition groups and individuals. A number of Said’s students displayed public opposition to the regime. When the Syrian peaceful revolution was launched in mid-March 2011, the star of the Sheikh Said shone strongly. A significant number of youth found, in non-violent Salafism, a form of Islamic thought that they could relate to and depend on. The group’s icon, Sheikh Said, and his words became familiar symbols appearing on banners in the peaceful demonstrations. This brief period represented the height of the golden age of non-violent Salafism. It regressed after only a few months, as repression by the regime intensified. Peaceful protests turned into an armed revolution, and non-violent Salafi ideas no longer held the same attraction. Revolutionary armed Salafis Hafez al-Asad’s legacy and the Syrian memory of the events of the 1980s left deep wounds, which the regime was eager not to heal because that experience sustained a ‘disciplinary’ or ‘deterrence’ effect. In addition, government policies under Asad’s son, Bashar, indicated significant changes, and an important turning point in the manner in which the regime dealt with religious groups. The regime also changed from one that relied on politics, negotiations and internal social balance to one that relied, instead, on security-based control, based on intimidation and the regime’s foreign policy interests. This rapidly infuriated the Salafi groups, and significantly changed their political aspirations. Government actions reflected its high regard for security, with little regard for the social and political implications on Syrian society. This is especially true with regards to the regime’s attack on Islamic groups and its attempts to control all religious spaces and interfere in religious institutions. This interference included the dissolution of family charity associations and imposing on such associations councils mandated by the government; the removal of successful municipal election candidates because they were religious; and the abolition of the annual breakfast to which the clerics and scholars were invited. In addition, the government decided to deploy women teachers who wore headscarves to administrative positions that were unrelated to teaching. This all occurred in light of the revolution set off in Tunisia. Syria was thus the powder keg that required a mere spark to be set off. The revolution exploded, and it engaged various parties, organisations and the other civil society groups. None of them played a leadership role, however. In the first months of the revolution, the traditional and jihadist Salafis were outside the framework of the uprising. There was no party organisation or Salafi movement, and those Salafis who did involve themselves in the peaceful civilian ranks of the revolution were few and far between, and acted as individuals. Many of them were victims of the 1980s, and participated as a result of having this background. The peaceful revolution had continued for ten months, had spread across the country and had mobilised many Syrians against the regime. But the Baba Amr events in March 2011, during the siege of Homs, transformed public sentiment and persuaded the protesters that the regime was capable of responding with more than just guns to kill demonstrators. It was clear that the regime was capable of attacking them with tanks, planes, and missiles. This opened the door for the formation of military units aimed at protecting civilians and peaceful demonstrators from being murdered. Later, these units expanded their mandate to protection of neighbourhoods and cities, and their goal very soon became one focused on overthrowing the regime by force. The first free army brigades appeared in the middle of 2011, and the general shift in the Syrian opposition deciding to use armed action began at this time too. The emerging military brigades were initially formed from army defectors, but were joined by an increasing number of civilian volunteers. Asad initially pursued a strategy of keeping the urban centres under firm control, as his regime’s survival was linked to these centres. Rebels in rural areas were able to move more freely, allowing for the initiation of what became a revolution of the peripheries. When the militarisation of the opposition began, most of the brigades were formed in the countryside, and then began to slowly move onto the cities. Due to the poverty-stricken conditions, the lack of development and marginalisation characterising the rural areas, people there were more willing to accept radical Salafi ideology. This coincided with the violence perpetrated by the Syrian regime against the population, the emergence of sectarian features, people’s disappointment regarding the refusal of the international community to intervene to protect civilians, as well as Iran’s increasing interference. Salafi ideology was spreading among most armed brigades; a new map of Salafism in Syria was being drawn. Many people were attracted to simple, radical ideology that could be used to confront the violence with greater sacrifice and strength. This created an ideal environment for the Salafis. The Salafi map will be incomplete without mentioning the emergence of Jabhat al-Nusrah li ahl al-Sham (the Victory Front for the Levantine people) which began operating against the regular army and the Shabbiha regime militias in January 2012. The new Salafi map The attraction of non-violent Salafism decreased, while that of jihadist Salafism began to increase exponentially. It is extremely difficult to formulate a detailed map of this situation due to the spread of the various brigades. With increasing victories that were achieved on the ground, there was an influx of volunteers. As a result, many of these brigades transformed, developed, or decayed. In this context, the Salafi map defining the military brigades should not be based solely on brigades’ names as they do not necessarily reflect Salafi tendencies. Sometimes the labels are pragmatic and aim to attract donors from the Gulf. Alternatively, they reflect general religious discourses that are part of the popular religious imagination. People gradually began to differentiate between the Islamic jihadist brigades and the free army brigades. While the Islamic jihadist brigades seemed cohesive and organised, the free army brigades appeared disorganised, and, therefore, less effective. Al-Nusrah (The Victory) Front: The third generation of Salafi jihadists While the demonstrations reached their peak in the middle of 2011, the Syrian fighters in the al-Qa’ida-linked Islamic State of Iraq decided to explore options in the rural north and south. This resulted in the militarisation of the revolution. Small groups of brigades calling themselves the ‘Brigades of Victory for the People of the Levantine’ were formed. Among them were some foreign fighters who had gained military and financial support from the emir of the State of Iraq, Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi. An announcement to this effect was made in January 2012. The leaders of the Nusrah Front benefited from their fighting experience and failures in Iraq. They attempted to attract all experienced fighters in Iraq, Afghanistan, and even Lebanon with whom they shared close relations. Many fighters were in the Saidnaya military prison, where Salafi jihadists and others were detained. They decided to work together on the basis of winning over popular support that they had they lost through the ‘awakenings’. Jabhat al-Nusrah was unique in its military objectives. These included toppling the Asad regime, confronting the Shi’a and Alawis who were part of the regime, and confronting Iran. However, al-Nusrah did not have a clear vision for the post-Asad stage. The political and military opposition in Syria were unable to refuse the support of al-Nusrah, despite doubts about its relation to al-Qa’ida, and ignorance regarding its leader, Abu Mohammad al-Julani. Jabhat al-Nusrah experienced two important milestones. The first was when the United States announced on 5 December 2012 that the Front had been placed on the US terror list. The second milestone was when Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi announced that al-Nusrah would be under his command and that it would merge with the Islamic State in Iraq to form the ‘Islamic state in Iraq and the Levant’. Many Syrians perceived this as dangerous because the USA and other western states would regard it as an indication that Syrians wanted to create an Islamic state along traditional Islamic lines, and would assume that the Syrian struggle was part of a global jihad. Al-Nusrah was certain that this would deny them international support. The front then made available videos of its operations that it had carefully filmed. Al-Nusrah invested much effort to strengthen public support for and credibility of the group. Thus, the US decision resulted in a backlash from Syrians and the political opposition found itself compelled to defend the front during the fourth Friends of Syria conference in Morocco. At the conference, Baghdadi attempted to append al-Nusrah to his organisation, prompting Nusrah’s leader to hurriedly issue a statement emphasising his allegiance to al-Qa’ida leader, Ayman al-Zawahiri. This resulted in a rift in Nusrah’s ranks and shook the popular support base it had cultivated. Two streams thus emerged: those wanting to support progressive civil action to establish an Islamic state, and another that seeks the establishment of an Islamic state in Syria as a prelude to a global Islamic caliphate. The early Syrian leaders who were members of the organisation of the vanguard fighters and who joined the Afghan jihad – such as Abu Basir al-Tartusi – regard the declaration of allegiance to Zawahiri a mistake. They view it as a serious threat to jihad activity in Syria, and as a benefit to the regime. Al-Nusrah represents the third generation of al-Qa’ida’s global jihad. The mujahideen of Afghanistan represented the first generation, and the fighters in Iraq represent the second generation. In the third generation, there is a clear civilian tendency. The leaders of the front have shifted in their personal convictions, represented by Abu Mohammad al-Julani who shifted fromcivil to military action. Al-Nusrah’s are Syrians, mainly from urban centres. While some of them are even fanatically connected to these centres, their bases are mostly rural. A new organisation named the Mujahideen Shura Council emerged in Aleppo and eastern Syria in November 2012. It is similar to an organisation that appeared in Iraq in 2006 which represented global jihadist Salafi thought, as well as a similar organisation in Gaza in 2010. Unlike al-Nusrah, the Mujahideen Shura Council is not linked to al-Qa’ida, and does not reflect ideological developments similar to those observed in the front. It is an active, medium-sized organisation. Some organisations tried to imitate al-Nusrah, such as Jaish al-Sahabah fi Bilad al-Sham (Army of the Companions [of Muhammad] in the Levant) from around August 2012, and Jund al-Sham (Levantine army) from Aleppo from August 2012. These groups have not had much success, however, and some collapsed while others remained marginal. ‘Immigrants’, or foreign fighters, came to Syria for various reasons. The vanguard from Iraq came to support their colleagues in al-Nusrah, and the others came through private social networks for various political reasons. Libyans, for example, wanted revenge against the regime that had supported Qaddafi, and Chechens because they are fighting Russians in Syria. The number of these foreigners has been exaggerated for political purposes as a result of the Islamic-secular polarisation occurring in the ‘Arab Spring’ countries. In reality, the total does not exceed 2 000 fighters of various nationalities, in all parts of Syria. The immigrants represent a model of a hard al-Qa’ida ideology in its Jihadist form in the State of Iraq. News of their unique spirit of sacrifice, bravery and exceptional courage has spread across the country. Most Syrians, however, did not accept their ideological inclinations. The typical civilian Syrian, with their urban openness, cannot accept the strict al-Qa’ida code, so the jihadists secluded themselves in brigades known as ‘immigrants’ brigades’ in the rural parts of north-western Syria. They realise that their presence in Syria is temporary. The jihadists of the global deferred caliphate Although the Salafi jihadist movements all share the idea of a global Islamic caliphate, the groups in Syria differentiate themselves as a result of their experiences in Syria. Salafi jihadists believe in the notion of a state of Syria, but believe that it should be Islamic. They have (temporarily) delineated their activities to be confined within the borders of Syria, while maintaining the idea of a deferred global caliphate. One of the brigades was the Kataib Ahrar al-Sham (Brigades of the Free People of the Levant), which was formed in the countryside of north Idlib on 25 July 2012. In February 2013, it absorbed three other brigades to form Harakat Ahrar al-Sham al-Islamiyyah (Movement of the free people of the Islamic Levant). The other three groups were: the Brigades of Nur al-Din al-Zangi in the countryside of western Aleppo, which was formed in October or November 2012; Kataib al-Tali’ah al-Muqatila (Brigades of the Fighting Vanguard) which was formed in July or August 2012; and Harakat al-Fajr al-Islamiyah (Movement of the Islamic Dawn) in the eastern countryside of Idlib, formed in November 2012. With the exception of Kataib al-Tali’ah al-Muqatila, most of the other brigades include some foreign fighters or ‘immigrants’. Their counterparts are the local fighters called ‘ansar’ (helpers). Unofficial finance from Gulf countries plays an important role in strengthening these brigades, unlike funding from Gulf governments which fluctuates and is limited. Traditional Salafi jihadists A Salafi organisation was formed in the east Damascene countryside under the leadership of Sheikh Zahran Alwash, a graduate of the Islamic University in Madinah. It was named Liwa al-Islam, (Brigade of Islam), and was formed in March 2012. It is based primarily on the Salafi Wahhabi ideology that is associated with Hanbali jurisprudence, and its leaders generally follow classic Salafism. Their political ambitions are for an Islamic state within Syrian national borders, at least temporarily. The organisation is the largest militant group in the vicinity of Damascus. Its stronghold is Douma, which represents a stronghold of the revolution in the eastern countryside of Damascus, and is the only stronghold of the Hanbalis in Syria. It is believed that Liwa al-Islam was responsible for the 18 July 2012 bombing of the headquarters of the National Security in the Damascus neighbourhood of al-Rawdah. The blast killed the president’s brother-in-law, Assef Shawkat; the defence minister, Dawoud al-Rajiha; the commander of the regular army; his deputy; and a number of senior officers. Despite the Salafi preferences of its leadership, the group’s Salafism converges with traditional Islamic preferences that were hardened by the war. Most brigades are allied to Liwa al-Islam under the umbrella of Tajammu Ansar al-Islam fi Qalb al-Sham (Coalition of Islam’s helpers in theHeart of the Levant), which was formed in August 2012, as well as al-Sahaba Brigade, and Ahfad al-Rasul (Descendants of the Messenger) Brigade. The members of these groups are mostly traditional Muslim conservatives who have not previously been involved in Islamic political or civil society organisations. The al-Ansar Brigades, which was launched in January 2012, in the countryside of Homs represents traditional Salafi thought, and adopts a discourse that focuses on Salafi beliefs and behaviour. It displays missionary tendencies along with its mission of jihad. This is reflected in the relationships between the brigades, and the behavioural guidance provided to the combatants by other brigades. Several brigades have begun to express Salafi inclinations in order to receive funding. They occasionally reflect this in their names, and, sometimes, in official discourse. Despite this, many brigades fail to obtain the desired funding. This includes the most important brigade of the Free Syrian Army (FSA), Liwa al-Tawhid, which was formed in the northern countryside of Aleppo, and is led by Abdel Qader al-Saleh and Abdel Aziz Salama, both of whom are sympathetic to Salafism. Another example is Kataib Suqour al-Sham (Levantine Hawks Brigade), which was launched on 25 November 2011. It is led by Ahmad al-Sheikh, who initially indicated that he was from the Free Syrian Army. He later stopped mentioning this. He displayed an increasing tendency towards Salafism. Democratic jihadist Salafism Most brigades are formed from Salafi-leaning civilian volunteers, and unite under the (FSA) umbrella. This is a symbolic umbrella, and does not represent a unified collective organisation. The Salafism of most of these people is therefore soft. Thus they do not constitute a coherent school of thought, but have scattered ideas and convictions. Under the circumstances of war and the battles in Syria, this seems to be understood as it developed from reactions during the fighting. Most of its members are democratic and eager to build a modern, democratic state, exemplified by the brigades formed by the children of teachers from. An example is the Abu Amara Brigades in Aleppo. There is also a crisis within Salafism; some brigades that have responded to violence, and have been affected by funding. It is, therefore, more of a pragmatic Salafism than a stable doctrinal Salafism. For example, Liwa al-Haq (Brigade of the Truth) was formed in Homs in August 2012, and is one of the brigades that operate in Homs city and the countryside. The same applies to Al-Farouk Brigades, which was formed in November 2011 by army defectors. Subsequently, through the way members and specifically leaders expressed themselves, it showed a gradual tendency towards Salafism. Ultimately, their Salafism is a kind of ‘official’ Salafism. The founders of Al-Farouk had defected from the regular army; and they were trained by the regime. Their composition is thus inconsistent with the hardline Salafi trend. Non-violent Salafism flourished in an atmosphere of civil mobilisation. It then transformed, but continued to be under civilian control. For its adherents, militarisation is regarded as necessary only in an emergency, and is viewed as a temporary activity. They retain their original position of desiring a return to democratic life and having a modern state. The result of this new Salafi thinking is a unique and attractive model for the effective establishment of brigades and local civic councils in a city such as Darya. Unlike in some ‘Arab Spring’ countries – particularly Egypt, traditional Salafis participated in the Syrian revolution from the outset. Their civil participation was not based on religious beliefs in an Islamic state however, but on the idea of a caliphate, linked to revenge against, and the fall of, the regime. Several of the Salafis have suffered monitoring, prosecution, and unfair trials. At the same time, there were systematic plans by the Syrian regime to protect and increase the proliferation of the ‘natural enemy’ of Salafism – Shiism – with Iranian support. For most Salafis, the ideal model of participation was as experienced in Douma and Harasta, in the Damascene countryside. When the uprising rapidly militarised, however, they began discussing a concept of the state as a ‘civil Islamic state’ that may be part of an Islamic caliphate. That position has shifted to now focus on the state, rather than a caliphate. The strongholds of the Salafi movement remain the outskirts of cities and the peripheries of urban centres. It has survived despite this peripheral location. The methodology for its field mobilisation was to crawl from the peripheries to the urban centres, and it has had limited influence on urban centres. Interaction with the urban centres created a soft Salafism that was prone to collapse as soon as the dispute over the building and the form of the post-regime state came to the fore. The civil war has assisted in the spread of Salafi thought. There has not been sufficient time for it to become a firmly rooted doctrine; its spread was, rather, an instrument of war. The new map of the spread of Salafi thought will thus be subjected to dramatic change after the war ends. It is worth noting however, that the new Salafi tendency was generally felt amongst revolutionary fighters within the brigades, and not among civilians. Nevertheless, its impact will definitely extend to a broader social space, especially in areas where Salafi fighters hail from. Most of the brigades’ senior commanders had combat experience in Iraq, including al-Nusrah leader, Abu Mohammad al-Julani; some leaders of Liwa al-Islam; and leaders of Ahrar al-Sham. Others, such as leaders of the Fighting Vanguard, had experience in Afghanistan; and some in Lebanon, such as the commander of the al-Zangi brigade. Many second-tier leaders and some first-tier leaders were detained in Saidnaya military prison, accused of being adherents of Salafism or jihadist Salafism. The emerging Salafi brigades relied on a network of relationships formed inside and outside prison, which connected them to Saidnaya prison graduates. To date, no significant Salafi political movements have been established. This is despite the fact that since the beginning of the revolution and since the militarisation of the Salafi movement, there has been a unique political sentiment. Even before that, movements such as al-Mu’minun Yusharikun (The Believers Participate), launched in November 2011, and Hizb al-Islah wa al-‘adalah (Reform and Justice Party), launched in June 2011, were taking form. That no Salafi organisation has emerged as a promising political force is an indication that, from the Salafi perspective, the revolution far from being over. Furthermore, political activity without military action is viewed with a great deal of suspicion. The military organisations established civilian units to help prepare a social base for them in the post-Asad phase, and to help them implement their ideology. For example, al-Nusrah formed an alliance with Liwa al-Tawhid and a number of other ‘Shari’ah brigades’ in order to fill the organisational, judicial, service, and security-related vacuum in the areas under their control. The idea of implementing Shari’ah is widespread among Salafis, and is similar to that of various Afghan factions during the jihad against the Soviet Union. One of the leading brigades in the northern countryside of Aleppo formed a group to ‘invite to virtue and prevent vice’. This group, however, received a cold response from the population and was socially alienated, probably due to people’s understanding that it was linked to the Saudi or Taliban models. All Salafi movements will be faced with difficult questions after the fall of the regime, specifically regarding the form of a new regime and the plan for establishing it without internal fighting. It seems that the Islamists who support the idea of a democratic state have the best opportunity to dominate in this during the transitional phase. Adopting the idea of a democratic state is also a possible solution to the current environment of ideological polarisation, which is becoming increasingly more severe as the armed revolution continues against the Syrian regime. * Abdul Rahman Al-Haj is a researcher specialising in Islamic movements, and a professor at the University of Islamic Sciences in Malaysia
According to researchers at Columbia University, people with high levels of HDL cholesterol (the “good” form) are 60 percent less likely to develop AD. The researchers followed 1,130 seniors with no history of memory loss or dementia and measured their cholesterol levels every 18 months for four years. When the researchers compared the cholesterol levels of study participants with and without Alzheimer’s, they found that those with the highest HDL counts, greater than 55 mg/dL, had about a 60 percent reduced risk of developing the disease compared to those whose levels were less than 39 mg/dL. Their findings support the theory that high levels of HDL cholesterol are correlated with lower incidence of AD. The study was published earlier this week in the Archives of Neurology and sheds more light on the interactions between cholesterol and AD. Apolipoprotein E (apoE), as readers of this blog will recall, participates in the mobilization and distribution of cholesterol among various tissues of the body, including the brain. In humans, there are three common isoforms of apoE: apoE2, apoE3 and apoE4. ApoE4 differs from apoE3, the most common isoform of apoE. A single e4 allele is sufficient to increase the risk of developing atherosclerosis, and also Alzheimer’s disease. The e4 allele results in slightly elevated plasma LDL cholesterol levels and a small but significant decrease in plasma HDL levels. HDL is one of the major carriers of protein in and out of the brain, and also binds to beta-amyloid. This finding further advances the idea that the interplay between cholesterol, cholesterol-carrying proteins such as apoE and HDL, and beta-amyloid may be critical in the development of Alzheimer’s disease. This study has important strengths. It is a prospective cohort study designed for the diagnosis of cognitive decline that has complete clinical and neuropsychological evaluation at each interval. Guidelines recommend that men raise HDL levels that are less than 40 mg/dL and that women increase HDL numbers less 50 mg/dL. An HDL of 60 mg/dL or higher is optimal. * Association of Higher Levels of High-Density Lipoprotein Cholesterol in Elderly Individuals and Lower Risk of Late-Onset Alzheimer Disease.

To build a machine for standardization, several requirements were considered. One of the most important requirements was that the force applied at the blade/material point of contact must be constant throughout the test. Other requirements were that the test apparatus be easy to use by an untrained person, that the applied force should be known, and that the results should be reproducible. The force is applied at the material/blade point of contact from bottom upwards through a ram-type arm. To satisfy the requirements, a mechanism based on a double Watt system was developed that allows a perfect vertical displacement of the sample and a constant applied force throughout the test with a maximum error of 2×10-2N. protective gloves, cut resistance, test method, cut-test apparatus, tomodynamometer Institut de recherche en santé et en sécurité du travail du Québec (IRSST), Montreal, Quebec Paper ID: STP19894S

The Vickers indenter creates a square impression from which two surface-projected diagonal lengths are measured. Vickers hardness is calculated from the ratio of the applied load to the area of contact of the four faces of the undeformed indenter. (In contrast, Knoop indenters are also used to measure hardness, but Knoop hardness is calculated from the ratio of the applied load to the projected area on the specimen surface.) Vickers indentation hardness is one of many properties that is used to characterize advanced ceramics. Attempts have been made to relate Vickers indentation hardness to other hardness scales, but no generally accepted methods are available. Such conversions are limited in scope and should be used with caution, except for special cases where a reliable basis for the conversion has been obtained by comparison tests. Vickers indentation diagonal lengths are approximately 2.8 times shorter than the long diagonal of Knoop indentations, and the indentation depth is approximately 1.5 times deeper than Knoop indentations made at the same force. Vickers indentations are influenced less by specimen surface flatness, parallelism, and surface finish than Knoop indentations, but these parameters must be considered nonetheless. Vickers indentations are much more likely to cause cracks in advanced ceramics than Knoop indentations. The cracks may influence the measured hardness by fundamentally altering the deformation processes that contribute to the formation of an impression, and they may impair or preclude measurement of the diagonal lengths due to excessive damage at the indentation tips or sides. A full hardness characterization includes measurements over a broad range of indentation forces. Vickers hardness of ceramics usually decreases with increasing indentation size or indentation force. The trend is known as the indentation size effect (ISE). Hardness approaches a plateau constant hardness at sufficiently large indentation size or forces. The test forces or loads that are needed to achieve a constant hardness vary with the ceramic. The test force specified in this standard is intended to be sufficiently large that hardness is either close to or on the plateau, but not so large as to introduce excessive cracking. A comprehensive characterization of the ISE is recommended but is beyond the scope of this test method, which measures hardness at a single, designated force. 1.1 This test method covers the determination of the Vickers indentation hardness of advanced ceramics. 1.2 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as standard. No other units of measurement are included in this standard. 1.3 This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety and health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use. 2.

The first of 2 articles on the 3-stage lesson planning model that I propose has just been published in the IATEFL Teacher Education Newsletter. In the article I argue that CAP is more appropriate and more relevant for today’s teaching and teacher education courses than alternatives such as PPP, ESA, etc. It’s also the topic I’ll be talking on at IATEFL Glasgow 2017 (scroll down for details). I also provide a little initial data from trainee teachers who found it useful, offer example CAP lesson skeletons from my forthcoming book the Trinity CertTESOL Companion and also link it to text-based language teaching, an approach that is fairly well established in Australia, but still poorly known in the UK. What are the three phases of CAP? The three phases of CAP are simple, logical and easy to remember as follows: The context for learning is established through a text (listening, reading or video), a presented ‘situation’ (in the classroom or through audio-visual resources), or the involvement of learners. This may be accompanied by activities that raise background schemata, check comprehension, or engage learners meaningfully in the text. Language features are noticed and analysed explicitly for meaning, form, pronunciation and usage/use as appropriate. This may include grammatical, functional, lexical or textual aspects of the language. This is roughly equivalent to Harmer’s Study stage or Scrivener’s Clarification. Learners practise using the language. This may include controlled and freer speaking or writing practice of the language analysed, scaffolded and independent text construction or a communicative task. An optional 4th stage, turns ‘CAP’ to CAPE’: When practice involves text construction, self-, peer and teacher evaluation of the text are possible, such as in a gallery walk activity after a writing task or performance of role plays for the class. There are possibility for changing and adapting the model, depending on lesson type and context. As always in the article, I offer it as a scaffolding tool, not a rule or dogma. More on CAP A second article on CAP is due out later this year, where I explore changes in how coursebooks have provided context over the last 30 years, offer compelling evidence that they also support a C-A-P model, and explore ways the model can be adapted to suit different lesson shapes and theories of teaching and learning. CAP and ESA Several colleagues have asked me to clarify exactly how CAP is different from Harmer’s ESA (Engage, Study, Activate). Here are three fundamental differences: - In Harmer’s model, as described in ‘How to teach English’ from 1998, there is no reference to context or contextualisation in his description of the Engage lesson stage. While he mentions activities that could be used to contextualise new language, Harmer’s main interest here is in the affective involvement of the learner in the lesson, something that cannot be underestimated, especially at primary and secondary levels, when they may not yet have any intrinsic motivation to learn English. However, as one trainee teacher once said to me: ‘Shouldn’t all the lesson be engaging?’, highlighting a potential weakness in the model and perhaps revealing a confusion of affective and structural concerns. In CAP, the primary focus of the Context stage is obviously to provide a clear context for the new language. - In Harmer’s ESA, controlled practice activities fall under the Study stage, which is logical, given his choice of terms. However, in reality (and in the coursebooks I analysed during my research for this model) there is a continuum from more controlled to freer practice activities, making it sometimes difficult for trainee teachers and even their tutors to categorise an activity. Ultimately, how we categorise an activity can depend on how it’s done, the role we perceive it having in the lesson, and even our personal assumptions regarding theories of language learning. In CAP, all practice falls under the practice stage. The model reflects the fact that coursebooks (without exception in my research) always provide opportunities for practice of the language analysed, but that this isn’t necessarily either a combination of more and less controlled practice, simply some kind of practice. - ‘Activate’ is a beautiful word, but in reality it implies a particular type of free practice that carries connotations of interaction between learners, especially in spoken form. Despite the fact that Harmer makes it clear in his description of the model that it does include certain receptive skills and writing activities, trainees also often find it difficult to understand when a reading or listening activity is ‘activate’ and when it is ‘study’. They also tend to overlook writing, the importance of which – in the current IT-mediated era – cannot be denied. The word Practice in my model is intended to be descriptive and unambiguous – learners practise using the language in some way. Thus, it’s compatible with a range of approaches, cultural perceptions about learning and doesn’t implicitly prioritise spoken interaction, which cannot necessarily be said about ‘Activate’. When developing the CAP model, I was very careful to choose words that are as descriptive and unambiguous as possible, precisely due to problems that I and colleagues have had with misunderstandings of terms in other models. In selecting ‘context’, ‘analysis’ and ‘practice’ as the three core stages, I tried to ensure that the meanings of the words remain unchanged from typical dictionary definitions, so that they retain their everyday sense in their pedagogic usage, thereby enabling prior (linguistic) knowledge to inform and scaffold learning of how to structure a lesson.
January 7, 2010 Link Found Between Wild And Domestic Iberian Horses The earliest known domestic horses are around 4,600 years old. They were originated in the steppes between modern Ukraine and Kazakhstan. Using this evidence, two different hypotheses have been suggested: 1) domestic horses spread from this area over the rest of Eurasia; 2) horse domestication was a multiregional process, having occurred several times in different local places. "Previous analysis on mitochondrial DNA from modern Iberian horses pointed to the D1 haplogroup as the most likely group involved in an independent domestication event, maybe in Iberia or in North Africa" explains Anders Götherström from the Department of Evolutionary Biology at Uppsala University, who headed the project together with Juan Luis Arsuaga of the Centro Mixto UCM-ISCIII from Madrid (Spain).The researchers have compared the ancient Iberian sequences from Iberian Neolithic, Bronze Age and Middle Ages obtained in this study with more than 1,000 modern horse sequences from different Iberian and non-Iberian breeds, as well as with ancient sequences from other studies. The researchers found the earliest occurrence of the D1 group in Iberia in a medieval horse. "We have not found sequences from the Neolithic or the Bronze Age period associated to the most important modern Iberian haplogroup, the D1 group. That means that D1 group can be a foreigner group, which entered in Iberia during historical times" says Jaime Lira, of the Centro Mixto UCM-ISCIII from Madrid and the main author of this study. Furthermore, wild horses from Iberia contributed to the domestication process, and the Lusitano group C is a witness from this event. "The Lusitano C is a small group constituted only by modern horses from Iberian origin. We have found that maternal lineages from this group were already present in wild Iberian horses from the Early Neolithic, continuing through the Bronze Age until nowadays." explains Juan Luis Arsuaga. These results suggest the possibility of a completely independent domestication episode, or the use of Iberian maternal lineages in a restocking process from the wild.

What is complex event processing? Complex Event Processing (CEP) refers to resources that collect different types of data from different parts of an IT system or other sources in order to find meaningful results that can be reported to decision makers. In many cases, a complex event processing system is an organizational tool that helps gather a wide variety of information about a company to aid in high-level planning. IT providers like Oracle offer tools and resources for complex event processing. These types of systems can use conventions such as structured query language to facilitate data transfer. Developers can add specific processing languages to programming environments such as Java or .Net to set up systems that can process queries in real time, while proprietary algorithms provide specific processing functions that enable better business intelligence. A complex event processing tool is a resource that is of great relevance to the entire topic of knowledge management or business intelligence. The prevailing idea in most of the business world is that businesses can benefit from gathering more information and analyzing it to better serve customers, increase profit margins, and improve metrics such as productivity benchmarks. Different types of IT tools such as customer relationship management or CRM, Supply chain management and other types of planning software help achieve these goals. Complex event processing is part of that bigger picture, where companies try to study how large numbers of internal events happen to get a better picture of the patterns as they evolve. With that data in hand.
Waiting for answer This question has not been answered yet. You can hire a professional tutor to get the answer. A bromine-80 nucleus can decay by gamma emission, positron emission, or electron capture. What is the product nucleus in each case? Here's how the would look for type of decay. - Gamma emission A gamma particle is just a photon, which in turn is a particle that has no mass and no charge. As a result, the nuleus that emits the gamma particle will remain unchanged. In your case, the nuclear equation will look like this ##""_35^80"Br" -> ""_35^80"Br" + ""_0^0gamma## - Positron emission takes place when a proton inside the nucleus is converted into a neutron; at the same time, a positron and a neutrino are emitted. A positron is the antiparticle of an electron, i.e. same mass, but a positive charge. Since a proton is converted into a neutron, the will decrease by 1, but the will remain unchanged. ##""_35^80"Br" -> ""_34^80"Se" + ""_1^0e + ""_0^0nu## Notice that Br-80 decays into Se-80. takes place when an electron falls into the nucleus. As a result, a proton is converted into a neutron and a neutrino is emitted. Once again, the conversion of a proton into a neutron will decrease the by 1, but keep the unchanged. ##""_35^80"Br" + ""_text(-1)^0e -> ""_34^80"Se" + ""_0^0nu## Once again, Br-80 will decay into Se-80.
September 7, 2011 New Type Of Solar Cell Retains High Efficiency For Long Periods Scientists from the University of Picardie Jules Verne and the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology are reporting development of a new genre of an electrolyte system for solar cells that breaks the double-digit barrier in the efficiency with which the devices convert sunlight into electricity. Their study appears in Journal of the American Chemical Society. Frederic Sauvage, Michael Graetzel and colleagues describe research that aimed to develop an improved version of a highly promising solar cell that is less expensive than conventional solar cells made from the semi-conductor material, silicon. These so-called dye-sensitized solar cells (DSCs), or Graetzel cells (named for the discoverer, Michael Graetzel), have other advantages. They can be manufactured in light-weight flexible sheets, for instance, that are more durable and suitable for roll-up applications such as window shades. Hindering commercial use of DSCs has been their lack of stability, with the electricity output tending to decline over time.The new study reports development and successful lab tests of a new electrolyte composition suitable for the DSC, constructed with different material that is both stable and has a relatively high efficiency of 10 percent. It has an improved electrolyte system, the substance that conducted electricity inside the solar cell. The new device retained at least 95 percent of that sun-converting ability for 1,000 hours of testing. On the Net:
Morocco: Nineteenth and Twentieth Centuries The Moroccan Jewish community during the nineteenth and twentieth centuries was the largest Jewish community in North Africa, though it always constituted a small minority among its Muslim neighbors (Tsur, 2001). In the absence of formal statistics, it has been estimated that approximately 120,000 to 130,000 Jews lived in Morocco at the beginning of the nineteenth century. Formal statistics calculated later revealed that 160,000 Jews lived there in 1936 (Hatal, 1964) and 240,000 in 1952 (Laskier, 1983). As a result of emigration to Israel and other countries, the number decreased to 160,000 by 1960 (Laskier), but it nevertheless remained the largest Jewish community in the region. The female gender roles and status of Moroccan Jewish women during the nineteenth and twentieth centuries were influenced by a patriarchal order, by Jewish religious writings and their interpretations by local rabbis, and by the surrounding Muslim society, which was often hostile to the Jewish communities. Their roles and status were also affected by social changes brought about by economic development and urbanization, induced through contact with European countries, particularly during the colonial period of the French Protectorate that lasted from 1912 to 1956, the year of Moroccan unification and independence. Two of the major components of women’s gender roles were their family roles as wives and mothers, the primacy of which was based on religious writings. It was by fulfilling them that women fortified their status in the community. Child marriages were common during the nineteenth century. Girls tended to marry between twelve and fourteen years of age, usually with the onset of menses, and boys between fourteen and sixteen. This was true for all classes in Jewish communities. In rural areas some marriages took place between even younger children (Bashan, 2000). During the pre-colonial period, marriages were arranged by family members and, according to religious dictates, took place within the extended family, generally between cousins (Deshen). Since families usually shared business activities, this overlapping of marital and economic ties strengthened family networks and was conducive to the success of the marriage. Upon her marriage, the bride was given a dowry by her family, usually consisting of jewelry and clothing. Because the dowry was intended for her personal use, it did not have economic value and did not provide her with financial resources of her own. However, it did have symbolic value: its amount reflected the wealth and status of her family (Deshen). If the dowry did not represent wives’ independent financial resources, the ketubbah was intended to do so. The ketubbah was a religious document signed by the groom at the wedding in the presence of two witnesses. According to Bashan, it specified the spouses’ mutual obligations and the money to be paid by the husband or his heirs to the wife in case of divorce or his death. The amounts varied according to the norms of the local rabbinical court, the husband’s financial state and according to the marital status of the wife. Previously unmarried women (presumably virgins) were granted larger amounts than widows or divorcées, who were considered the least desirable (Bashan). Thus men (rabbis and husbands) created a hierarchy of status among women by means of the categories that they determined. According to the ketubbah, husbands were expected to be respectful to their wives, to love and support them, to be non-violent and to have sexual relations with them. Wives were expected to conform to religious commandments, to be respectful to their husbands, obedient, modest and fertile. A husband’s complaint to the rabbinical courts that his wife had violated these expectations could result in her being divorced and being denied the financial settlement noted in the ketubbah (Bashan). Thus, while the ketubbah was intended to provide some economic support for women in case of divorce or their husband’s death, it can also be understood as a powerful means of social control: it pressured wives to comply with men’s (rabbis’ and husbands’) demands or risk losing their source of financial security. Once married, the young couple lived with the husband’s father and his other married sons in an extended family living area. By the end of the nineteenth century, this close proximity, natural increase and the migration of Jews from the villages to the cities created extremely crowded living conditions within the Jewish ghetto (mellah) of the major cities. This proximity was often a source of inter-generational conflict and tension between spouses (Deshen). The norm of modesty, which derived from religious sources, was strictly enforced until approximately the end of the nineteenth century and led to the almost total seclusion of married women. Modesty obligated wives to cover their hair and married women in the Atlas Mountains region were expected to cover their faces as well, as was customary among Muslim women. However, the norm of modesty also dictated that wives remain at home, out of public view, segregated from men. Wives were not permitted to leave their homes, even to visit their relatives, without their husband’s consent. While this total seclusion was the norm for all the women in the Jewish community, evidence suggests that it was practiced to lesser degrees by poor women and older women (Shitreet, 2000; Mizrachi, 2003). Researchers have offered several possible explanations for this seclusion. Some have understood it as the enforcement of the religious demand for the modesty of women (Bashan). Berman (1976) maintained that this seclusion concretely defined the division of labor between genders in which women were expected to deal with domestic duties and husbands with non-domestic activities such as formal religious tasks, economic activities and communal affairs. Still others, such as Azmon (1995), have suggested that this seclusion created and preserved hierarchical power relationships between men and women. By relegating women to domestic duties and considering these as less important than non-domestic duties, men retained their dominant position in Jewish society (Azmon, 1995). Regardless of which explanation is adopted, one can conclude that seclusion led to exclusion and the perpetuation of patriarchy. The observance of niddah served as a means by which women fulfilled the religious component of their female gender role. Niddah refers to the religious laws relating to separation and reunion between spouses during and after menstruation. Because male contact with menstrual blood, considered impure, was forbidden, couples were not permitted to have sexual relations during the wife’s period and were only allowed to resume these relations seven days after the cessation of bleeding and the wife’s bathing in the mikveh (ritual bath). Since wives determined when the seven “clean” days had passed and, therefore, when they went to the ritual bath, they determined when the couple could resume sexual relations. Researchers (Wasserfel, 1992) have claimed that this control over sexual relations in marriage may have been one of the few sources of power over men possessed by women in this patriarchal society. According to the religious commandment to “be fruitful and multiply,” the purpose of marriage and sexual relations was to produce children. This explains why motherhood was the second main component of the female gender role and the ability to give birth to a large number of children, especially sons, was a major source of women’s status in the Jewish community. Bashan noted that one of the few instances in which rabbis permitted bigamy, or the taking of a second wife, was in cases in which the first wife did not give birth after ten years of marriage. Furthermore, infertility was grounds for divorce in rabbinical courts (Bashan). Thus, religious sanctions against women who did not bear children contributed to including motherhood as a major component of the female gender role. Women themselves considered motherhood as central to their femininity. As Bashan has pointed out, they took great precautions against the evil eye, which could prevent their giving birth, by wearing amulets and, in cases in which their fertility was in doubt, prostrating themselves on the graves of saints to plead for their intervention in becoming pregnant. Good mothers breast-fed their babies. Bashan explained that breast-feeding was considered healthy for babies and thought to help them survive the high infant mortality rate that was common until the early part of the twentieth century. Hence mothers believed that by breast-feeding they were contributing to the perpetuation of their religious and ethnic group. This bio-cultural definition of motherhood, which was time-consuming, served to keep women at home, occupied with their maternal duties and excluded from community life. Brown (1981) pointed out that good mothers were also expected to socialize their daughters to fulfill religious obligations to be wives and mothers according to religious scriptures, to do housework and to serve the male members of the family (Brown). While some women, usually the daughters of rabbis, did study the Bible, women were not obligated to study religious texts, as men were commanded to do. Women generally learned religious tradition from hearsay and prayers taught them by their mothers and grandmothers (Bashan). It has been pointed out that men’s monopoly of religious scriptures and their interpretations of them was a mechanism of men’s control over women (El-Or, 1992). But while women were considered ignorant of formal religious writings, they did not regard themselves as not participating in religious activities. Rather, women regarded religious duties as a gendered division of labor in which men expressed their religiosity by formal study and performing certain rituals, while women expressed theirs through interpersonal relations, such as charitable deeds for the poor, the ill and the unfortunate (Mizrachi). Perhaps the most significant and far-reaching influence on Jewish-Moroccan women’s gender roles and status was the spread of education through schooling that began in the 1860s. Education brought literacy to women in all socio-economic groups. If, in the past, only a few girls from privileged, usually rabbinical, families were taught to be literate (Bashan), schools also made it possible for women from poor families to acquire an education. They provided occupational and professional training to enable women to alleviate their poverty, to gain some economic independence and to acquire individual resources to accomplish upward social mobility. Education also exposed women to European cultural influences that changed society’s and their own perceptions of appropriate female gender roles. Eventually, it changed gender relations between men and women. The educational networks developed included the Alliance Israélite Universelle (AIU) schools, those of the Anglo-Jewish Association, Em ha-Banim, Bet Rivkah, the Organization for Rehabilitation Through Training (ORT), the French Protectorate and those of the Lubavitcher Hasidic movement. However, undoubtedly the dominant school system for Jewish children, including girls, was that established by the Alliance Israelite Universelle (AIU) (Laskier). The purpose of the AIU schools was to promote an emancipation movement in Moroccan Jewish society similar to that which had occurred in Europe, which would introduce secular thought, values and practices, including those relating to women, into a society that was considered backward, uncivilized and “Oriental” (Brown; Laskier; Malino, 1988). The first girls’ school, which was a sex-segregated elementary school, was established in Tetuan in 1868 (Rodrigue, 1993). Because the Jewish communities in the major cities were more exposed to European culture and its influence than were the more traditional, conservative and religious cities in the interior and the south, girls in the major urban areas of the country received an elementary education earlier than did those on the periphery (Laskier). Likewise, girls in the new, prosperous, European quarters outside the mellah began school earlier than did those who lived inside the poorer, more conservative Jewish quarter (Donat, 1963). However, girls’ attendance at elementary school eventually rose throughout the country. Whereas only 310 girls attended school in 1872, 1,822 (a six-fold increase) were in school in 1912, the beginning of the colonial period. In 1912, twelve of the fifteen communities that had AIU schools had schools for girls (Laskier). The curriculum, which was almost identical for boys and girls, included arithmetic, European geography, written Arabic, Biblical history, Hebrew and French or another European language. Teaching European languages was considered as not merely imparting a skill; it was intended to instill European culture, as well (Laskier). Through the vocational training programs that became part of the school curriculum, the AIU schools provided women with a means of gaining economic independence. During the early stages of the vocational training initiative, girls were trained in needlework and sewing, stereotypical fields of women’s expertise. During the colonial period, the AIU widened its vocational training program by initiating courses in bookkeeping, commercial correspondence, typing and stenography. A joint AIU-ORT boarding school was opened for girls from the interior and southern parts of the country. From 1950 to 1956 the number of girls in these joint schools doubled from four hundred to eight hundred and seven. In the 1960s, these schools provided less traditional, more modern occupational training through courses in laboratory assistance, industrial chemistry, cosmetic chemistry, hairdressing, window dressing, secretarial stenography and executive secretarial skills (Laskier). The AIU established secondary schools in 1912. During the colonial period, the French also opened vocational secondary schools for girls which taught commercial correspondence, typing and stenography (Laskier). Girls’ opportunity for continuing their education and for professional training was expanded with the establishment in 1867 of an AIU normal school (Institut Bischoffsheim) in Paris which recruited its students from AIU graduates in Morocco and then hired them as teachers throughout the Middle East. Teacher training offered girls who participated in the program an opportunity to gain a profession and thus to achieve upward mobility. Eventually, the AIU also established teacher seminaries in Morocco (Malino, Laskier). During the early years of the AIU’s educational programs for girls there seem to have been class differences in their motivation for acquiring an education. Girls from poor families tended to seek a vocational and professional education more than did girls from wealthier families. Thus, the former attended school more regularly than the latter, who left school to marry (Laskier). One interpretation of this phenomenon may be that poor girls thought that education compensated for their lack of financial resources in the marriage market and they therefore wanted an education to improve their social status, while wealthier girls relied on the attractiveness of their financial resources in this market and forwent education for marriage. Another interpretation may be that education, rather than marriage, became perceived as a means of social mobility for girls, especially for those from less than affluent families. However, in time, all girls actively sought an education, although class differences were still a factor in girls’ motivation for schooling during these years. Girls in the mellah considered education an economic necessity and wanted to work to help their parents and to be economically independent. Girls of middle and upper classes sought professional training for self-fulfillment and to maintain a middle-class standard of living. The initial reaction to the education of girls was mixed. Many rabbis, though not all, opposed schooling for girls, fearing that it would interfere with, and distract women from, their major roles as wives and mothers (Laskier). Basically, rabbis who opposed girls’ education thought that it would threaten religious hegemony in defining feminine gender roles and would offer competing, secular roles. For example, Brown pointed out that during the early years of girls’ schooling in Sale, a strongly traditional and religious city, opposition was particularly vehement. Rabbinical objections were often supported by girls’ mothers who complained that education would take their daughters away from their household duties (Brown). To counter the claims that the AIU schools were undermining religion in favor of secularism, the schools taught both secular and Jewish-religious subjects. However, rabbis and parents who contended that the schools would challenge existing feminine gender roles proved correct. The AIU schools attacked one of the most prevalent customs pertaining to women: child marriages. Their strategy to combat this practice was twofold. They supported the traditional importance of motherhood for women by claiming that educated girls would make better mothers while at the same time they attempted to postpone early marriages by keeping girls in school as long as possible. The schools, and particularly the women teachers in the AIU schools, were quite successful in this goal. Together with the European influences that became prevalent during the colonial period, they were significant forces in raising the age of marriage for girls. In spite of some rabbinical and parental resistance, in 1934 the Chief Rabbinical Court raised the minimum age at which a girl could be married to twelve and in 1948 to fifteen (Laskier, Rodrigue). A different type of school for girls was established in Morocco by Stella Corcos during the pre-colonial period of English philanthropy. This school aimed at providing Moroccan- Jewish girls with an English-Victorian education (Schroeter, 1983). The network of schools for girls became more diversified in the mid-twentieth century with the establishment of the Em ha-Banim, the Bet Rivkah and the Lubavitcher Hasidic movement schools, all of which provided various combinations of religious, secular and vocational educations for girls (Laskier). These networks of schools indicate that education for girls was becoming accepted, even among the more conservative, religious segments of the Jewish population. During the 1940s and 1950s, school was accompanied by extra-curricular activities, such as Zionist youth movements and youth organizations like the Scouts. The Zionist movements were formed in order to strengthen young people’s ties to Israel at a time when the political status of Jews in Morocco was becoming increasingly precarious. These organizations were mainly a bourgeois phenomenon in that they attracted primarily middle-class girls and boys (Tsur and Hillel, 1995). The co-educational activities provided a framework in which boys and girls could spend time together. The expansion of the educational system to elementary, secondary and professional education; the variety of schools available; the increasing support for the education of girls by the community, parents and girls themselves; and the rising age of marriage meant that more girls were receiving an education and were staying in school longer. The Zionist youth movements and other leisure time pursuits added further fields of activity for girls. Thus a new feminine gender role was created that had not existed previously: girlhood. In the not too distant past, girls had become wives and mothers with the onset of menses and had gone directly from childhood to adult womanhood. By the mid-twentieth century, girls were taking part in a youth culture that gave them a moratorium in which they could become autonomous individuals who pursued their own interests before assuming their traditional roles of wives and mothers. However, girlhood was apparently defined differently for girls in the various social strata. Middle class girls were freer to explore new options in lifestyles, possibilities and gender definitions than poor girls in the mellah, who were expected to conform to their more traditional gender definitions and learn housekeeping skills by helping their mothers with housework and caring for younger siblings. Furthermore, the similar curriculum, which created a common base of knowledge, the growing tendency for schools to be co-educational (Laskier, Donat) and for girls to participate in non- sex-segregated, extra-curricular activities meant that the dichotomy in gender roles, interests and activities between boys and girls, which had been created and perpetuated in the past, was replaced by gender relations that were based on greater common interests and experiences. Jewish women of all ages, marital status and social class worked in order to help support their families. In order to maintain the norm of seclusion and to separate women from men, especially Muslim men, women preferred to work at home. However, in practice, the maintenance of this norm was related to women’s social class. In Marrakesh, the largest Jewish community in Morocco at the turn of the nineteenth century (1901–1902) six hundred women were self-employed in their homes as seamstresses, while others taught girls home economics. Some women worked as midwives. The more affluent women were money-lenders. Of the 5,049 women from the mellah of Marrakesh employed during these years, 1,935 poor women worked outside their homes doing sewing, weaving, embroidery, as laundresses and in drawing water. The poor women who worked in the open market among Muslim men belonged to the lowest socio- economic strata in the community (Shitreet, 2001, pp. 35–37). The expansion of education was accompanied by an increase in Moroccan women’s participation in the work force. Women who had limited educational-vocational skills, who usually came from the lower socio-economic strata, worked in the traditional sectors available to such women (mainly in the food and textile industries), though some acquired a professional education and became teachers. Women who had better educational qualifications, usually from middle and upper class families, sought employment in administrative, banking and commercial enterprises, rather than in vocational fields. As Laskier pointed out, during the early years of the French Protectorate over Morocco, the lack of Europeans and the low educational level of Muslim women gave Jewish women, who had an education and who had learned European languages in school, preferential access to intermediate-level clerical and secretarial positions in the banks, post offices and commercial enterprises that flourished with the influx of European businesses in the coastal cities. A small group of well-educated women, mostly from well-to-do families, entered the professions, such as dentistry and pharmacy. An examination of the distribution of women workers shows that while there were greater concentrations of women in the traditional, stereotypical female fields than in the less traditional fields (Laskier, 183, 290–291), women’s employment in the less typical areas created a more diversified definition of appropriate female roles. While employment created financial resources and social mobility opportunities for all women, the distribution of women among the various occupational fields created a social stratification between them that was reflected not only in their incomes, but also in their lifestyles. Some of these differences were superficial expressions of differences in social standing and served as status symbols, whereas others revealed more profound differences in values and norms. For example, as Donat (1962; 1963) and Laskier stated, many girls adopted French instead of Jewish-Biblical names, spoke French rather than Judeo-Arabic, wore revealing European dresses as a symbol of Europeanization and maintained a bourgeois lifestyle. These practices were more common among middle and upper class women than among the lower class women in the mellah, who were more traditional, religious and more home-bound. Jewish society in Morocco was highly stratified and status boundaries were carefully maintained so that there was little social contact between women from different social strata (Donat, Tsur and Hillel). Many women continued to work outside their homes after marriage and thus created a new role for women: the dual earner. While women had always fulfilled multiple roles by being wives and mothers and had often contributed to the economy of their households, working outside the home for a salary was a new phenomenon. Donat found that by the 1960s working wives were common. However, this phenomenon was more frequent among middle and upper class, better educated women who lived in the modern European quarters in the cities, than among lower class, less educated, more traditional women who lived in the mellah (Donat). Although female gender roles were broadened to include the dual earner role, the Jewish community, including the women, still gave priority to the spousal and maternal components of their roles. However, while the dominance of these roles remained, spousal relations and women’s roles as wives changed. According to Donat, one important change with respect to marriage referred to the religious norm regarding spouse selection. By the mid-sixties, individuals, rather than their parents, chose their own marriage partners, not necessarily from among extended family members. This new norm contributed to the weakening of parental authority, an increasing secularization and the growing individual autonomy of women. In an effort to relieve some of the inter-generational and spousal tensions that had arisen in the past from patrilocal residence after marriage, a rabbinical decree pronounced in 1952 permitted young couples to live away from their parents-in-law (Laskier). This change in custom further weakened patriarchal control over nuclear families and increased the independence of young wives. Research also suggests a decrease in the observance of niddah among urban women, though it continued to be maintained among women living in the mellah and in rural areas (Mizrachi, 2003). Since the former group of women tended to be less religious than the latter, these differences in the observance of niddah may be another indication of a growing secularization among certain groups of women. Wives working outside their homes altered their definition of their homemaking role. While they still considered themselves responsible for housework, many did not feel the need to perform these tasks themselves. Donat noted that working wives often hired domestic help. However, these wives preserved certain aspects of their traditional and ethnic roles, such as being a good hostess, maintaining an expertise in the preparation of customary ethnic foods, especially for Sabbath, holidays and festivals such as the Mimuna ( a festival that celebrates the end of the Passover holiday) and organizing the engagement party or Henna, which by tradition was organized by the mother of the bride (Mizrachi). Married women’s work outside the home not only changed definitions of acceptable female roles, but also affected gender relations between men and women. If girls’ education, especially co-educational schooling and joint extra-curricular activities, had weakened the norm of gender segregation and enabled greater contact between girls and boys, married women’s employment outside their homes brought them into daily contact with men and made the maintenance of their seclusion impossible. Thus, the definitions of gender-specific activities and interests for men and women became more flexible and the dichotomy between them continued to narrow. Both the community and women continued to regard motherhood as a major component of the feminine gender role. However, by the middle of the twentieth century the era of scientific motherhood had begun. Donat noted that while the birth rate was still high at this time, women had begun to use scientific methods of birth control that gave them the means with which to plan the births of their children (Donat). Thus, both the delayed age of marriage and birth control changed women’s reproductive patterns. However, because motherhood was still considered a central component of the female gender role—as Donat pointed out—childless women continued to resort to all measures, including superstition and visiting the graves of saints, in order to give birth. But the contents of the role had changed. Donat concluded that mothers were still the primary caretakers of their children, but by the middle of the twentieth century a good mother was no longer defined only in terms of providing for the physical needs of her children (through breast-feeding, for example), but also in terms of her ability to socialize her children towards scholastic achievement and to promote their intellectual development—aspects of child-rearing that women’s education enabled them to perform. Alongside women’s increasing education and their participation in the work force, women also became active in community organizations. While in the past women’s seclusion had limited their charitable activities, by the 1940s and 1950s they began to establish charitable organizations that dealt with issues of particular interest to them. For example, the women of Marrakesh established a fund for needy students and organizations such as La Societé de Secours des Dames Israelites de Marrakesh and L’Aide Maternelle, which was devoted to mothers and their infants (Shitreet, 2000). Such organizations reflected a growing solidarity between women. Women were also active in organizations with men (Shitreet, 2000), which attests to their interest in general communal activities and to a weakening of the segregation between the sexes. A large portion of the Moroccan community immigrated to Israel in 1948, the year of the establishment of Israel, and in 1956, the year of Moroccan independence (Tsur, 2001). Because of the low educational levels of most of the Moroccan women who came to the country, in comparison with the European immigrant women, their concentration in the lower segments of the labor market and the negative stereotypes of North-African Jewry that developed in Israeli society, the immigrant generation of Moroccan women were clustered in the low socio-economic strata of Israeli society. Subsequent generations of these women have demonstrated high educational and occupational mobility and many have entered into the middle class (Bernstein, 1991; Mizrachi, 2003).

The standardized field sobriety tests used by most police agencies around the country were developed by researchers for the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) as a way to give officers in the field a method for determining impairment at BACs of 0.1 or greater. Later "studies" were done to determine if the standardized battery of three tests were still reliable at BACs of .08. Individually, the three standardized tests that are used around the US are not very reliable. The Horizontal Gaze Nystagmus (HGN) test, used to check a DUI suspect's eyes, has a reliability of 77%. The Walk and Turn test (9 steps on a straight line, turn and come back) only provides an accurate result only 68% of the time, and the One Leg Stand test is only accurate 65% of the time. NHTSA has funded additional studies of the field sobriety tests since they were first developed. Three major studies all concluded that the combined results could achieve higher accuracy, one said as high as 95%, when "properly" administered. The trouble with these studies is that the techniques used for obtaining the data were not consistent with valid scientific and analytical methods. In short, the high reliability numbers established by these field sobriety testing studies are very misleading. Many factors can impact the results officers obtain when they administer the test battery. Some of those factors include: - Improper test administration by the officer - Bad instructions by the officer - A failure of the officer to properly demonstrate the tests - Physical injuries of the person being tested - Medical limitations of the person being tested - Poor environmental conditions at the time of testing (weather, traffic, lighting, etc) - Poor physical conditions of the area where the tests are conducted (sloped ground, uneven surface, etc) The officer is supposed to do what he can to minimize factors which could impact the reliability of the tests, but often they simply cannot do so for various reasons. In those circumstances, the officer should take the adverse conditions into account when he/she scores the results, but again, they most often do not do so. Field sobriety tests have limited usefulness, but until the government gives officers a better alternative for in-the-field evaluation of DUI suspects, we will be stuck with these tests. In West Virginia, and in many other states (check your local laws) a driver may decline to perform the field tests because they are deemed to be voluntary. If your state permits you to refuse to perform these tests, absolutely do refuse them. They are not going to help you avoid an arrest and will just give the officer more evidence to use against you. The reality is that they are abnormal tests of abnormal physical skills and you will more than likely do poorly on them regardless of alcohol consumption.
The Education Trust, a Washington-based organization, released a paper highlighting the role of school counselors in preparing high school students for postsecondary education and careers. According to the paper, school counselors play a vital role in setting up students for success; however, they are often overwhelmed and sidetracked by assigned tasks that distract from the goal of preparing college- and career-ready students. Despite this, many school counselors are taking extra steps – such as poring over data to spot struggling students, or identifying students who need additional services – to increase students’ performance and their postsecondary opportunities. The authors stated that all school counselors should be positioned to “assume leadership in the movement for college and career readiness,” and states, districts, and schools can take action by making these changes: 1) Rework school counselors’ job descriptions to focus more on tasks that will result in college and career readiness for all students. 2) Refocus counselor education programs so that school counselors are trained in educational equity and college and career readiness. 3) Add more school-specific training and coursework on data usage to university counseling programs. 4) Support current school counselors through additional professional development. 5) Align school counselors’ evaluations with student outcomes. Secondary students, including the many enrolled in Career Technical Education (CTE), would benefit from changes that allow school and career counselors to increase focus on college and career readiness for students.

April 4, 2011 The Art Of Making Stars It might look like an abstract painting, but this splash of colors is in fact a busy star-forming complex called Rho Ophiuchi. NASA's Wide-field Infrared Explorer, or WISE, captured the picturesque image of the region, which is one of the closest star-forming complexes to Earth. The amazing variety of colors seen in this image represents different wavelengths of infrared light. The bright white nebula in the center of the image is glowing due to heating from nearby stars, resulting in what is called an emission nebula. The same is true for most of the multi-hued gas prevalent throughout the entire image, including the bluish, bow-shaped feature near the bottom right. The bright red area in the bottom right is light from the star in the center "“ Sigma Scorpii "“ that is reflected off of the dust surrounding it, creating what is called a reflection nebula. And the much darker areas scattered throughout the image are pockets of cool, dense gas that block out the background light, resulting in absorption (or 'dark') nebulae. WISE's longer wavelength detectors can typically see through dark nebulae, but these are exceptionally opaque.JPL manages and operates the Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer for NASA's Science Mission Directorate, Washington. The principal investigator, Edward Wright, is at UCLA. The mission was competitively selected under NASA's Explorers Program managed by the Goddard Space Flight Center, Greenbelt, Md. The science instrument was built by the Space Dynamics Laboratory, Logan, Utah, and the spacecraft was built by Ball Aerospace & Technologies Corp., Boulder, Colo. Science operations and data processing take place at the Infrared Processing and Analysis Center at the California Institute of Technology in Pasadena. Caltech manages JPL for NASA.

New Delhi: As a part of the Government’s focus on the development of programmes that aim to directly and positively impact people’s lives rapidly, the Ministry of Science and Technology has been at the forefront in many of these initiatives. Two Farmer-Centric initiatives of this Ministry are Biotech-KISAN and Cattle Genomics. The Minister for Science and Technology, Dr Harsh Vardhan shared details on these new initiatives with the Press in New Delhi on October 26, 2016. The two programs are intended to have major impact on rural livelihood through science. The Minister in his address stated that the Prime Minister’s emphasis on the importance to work on the problems faced by our farmers is a great motivation factor for the scientist community. Biotech- KISAN (Krishi Innovation Science Application Network) is a new programme that empowers farmers, especially women farmers. Cash crops and horticulture can be a major source of income but the vagaries of climate, disease and market often prevent this. Farmers are eager to use scientific tools that can mitigate these factors. The Department of Biotechnology is partnering to stimulate these exciting directions. The scheme is for farmers, developed by and with farmers, it empowers women, impacts locally, connects globally, is Pan-India, has a hub-and spoke model and stimulates entrepreneurship and innovation in farmers. - For Farmers: The Biotech-KISAN is a Farmer centric scheme launched by of the Department of Biotechnology, where scientists will work in sync with farmers to understand problems and find solutions. - By Farmers: Developed in consultation with the farmers. Soil, Water, Seed and Market are some key points that concern small and marginal farmers. Biotech-KISAN aims to link farmers, scientists and science institutions across the country in a network that identifies and helps solve their problems in a cooperative manner. - Empower women. The woman farmer is often neglected. It is important to empower the women farmer, help her meet her concerns for better seed, storage of seed and protection of the crops from disease and pest. The women farmer is also the prime caretaker of livestock and she is eager to combine traditional wisdom in handling the livestock and with current best practices, especially in the context of emerging livestock disease. The scheme includes the Mahila Biotech- KISAN fellowships, for training and education in farm practices, for women farmers. The Scheme also aims to support the women farmers/ entrepreneur in their small enterprises, making her a grass root innovator. - Connects Globally. Biotech-KISAN will connect farmers to best global practices; training workshops will be held in India and other countries. Farmers and Scientists will partner across the globe. - Impacts Locally. The scheme is targeted towards the least educated marginalised farmer; Scientists will spend time on farms and link communication tools to soil, water seed and market. The aim is to understand individual problems of the smallholding farmers and provide ready solutions. - Across India. Biotech KISAN will connect farmers with science in the 15 agro-climatic zones of the country in a manner, which constantly links problems with available solutions. - Hubs and Spoke. In each of these 15 regions, a Farmer organisation will be the hub connected to different science labs, Krishi Vigyan Kendra and State Agriculture Universities co-located in the region. The hub will reach out to the farmers in the region and connect them to scientists and institutions. - Farmers as Innovators. The hub will have tinkering lab, communication cell and will run year-long training, awareness, workshops and which will act as education demonstration units to encourage grass root innovation in the young as well as women farmers. - Communicating Best Practises There will be a communication set-up to make radio and TV programmes for local stations, as well as daily connectivity through social media. Cattle Genomics: Taking Indigenous Livestock to Pole Position Livestock contributes significantly to the livelihood of rural poor in our country and has enormous potential to reduce poverty. There is a predicted increase in demand for animal food products in India by 2020. In the wake of climate change challenges, quality breeding of indigenous livestock is essential. When breeding is selective, the native livestock can transform the lives of small farmers. Genomic selection will ensure high-yielding, disease-resistant, resilient livestock. Selecting hardy livestock that give high-yields. Better livestock can be genetically, selected which ultimately leads to enhancement of productivity in a sustainable, resilient manner. Traditional Breeding takes time. Genetic improvement of livestock through traditional selection for increasing livestock productivity has major limitations. To overcome these, genomic selection has played a crucial role in livestock industry globally. Global best methods for local livestock. Genomic selection will transform local livestock breeding. This uses information on variation in DNA sequences between animals to predict the breeding value of animals more accurately. Genome sequencing of indigenous cattle breeds from all registered cattle breeds of India by involving various stakeholders is to start soon. Development of high-density DNA chips. This will reduce the cost and time interval of breeding program in future and productivity of indigenous cattle will be enhanced.
Nuclear Waste; Exoplanets; BBC time and pips, Synthetic Biology Olympics Britain's legacy of nuclear waste dates back 60 plus years and a long term solution to deal with it hasn't yet been found. After this week's announcement that the UK will have a new nuclear power station, Hinkley C in Somerset, Dr Adam Rutherford asks Professor Sue Ion, former Director of Technology at British Nuclear Fuels and Chair of the European Commission's Science and Technology Committee, Euratom, how much extra waste this new plant will add to the radioactive stockpile. Eighteen years ago the first planet outside of our solar system was discovered, "51 Pegasi b". This week the tally of exoplanets passed one thousand, and as astronomer Dr Stuart Clark tells Adam, an earth twin isn't part of the planetary list.....yet. Show Us Your Instrument: Public Astronomer Dr Marek Kukula introduces the original Six Pip Masterclock at the Greenwich Observatory. This clock was used in the 1920s to send the time signals down a telephone line to the BBC, for transmission to the whole country over the radio. That's not the case now, and Adam goes down into the basement of Broadcasting House in London in search of the atomic clock that's now used to generate the Greenwich Time Signal and the famous BBC pips. iGEM is a global biology competition that allows students to build their own organisms. The UK has two teams going to the grand final next week. Adam goes to meet the team from Imperial College London, who have made a bacterium which produces plastic. Producer: Fiona Hill.
|Let's make shadows with Anim8or! Why? Because shadows are funny, enhance the realism of the scene and can be easily created with Anim8or. This tutorial explains how to do simple shadows like those below, casted by objects illuminated by unidirectional light, i.e. Anim8or's infinite light source. |We'll begin by doing some shadows, than I'll explain (if necessary) why we did what we did. Most of the task is made in Anim8or, but we need a paint program also. Any program is good for the job, like the default paint program that comes with your Operating System. What else do we need? An object that casts and a surface which receives the shadow (pretty obvious, isn't it?). Let's get to work! 1. Create an object to cast shadow (If you already have an object, go to step 2) Pick the Text tool and in Side view write down "Anim8or". Click Build > Extrude... , than OK to accept the defaults. The object has been created. 2. Create a plane to receive the shadow In the Front viewport create a Cube with X and Y dimensions large enough to contain the shadow that will be created, but not to exceed the margins of the viewport. For this tutorial double-click the cube and make X/Y/Z around 100/100/50 and let the default for divisions. Convert to mesh (Build > Convert to Mesh). Change to Top view and in Point Edit mode box-select the upper points. Cut. Now we have got a face of the original cube, visible in the Front viewport in Object Edit mode. Select the plane and do Edit > Rotate > Rotate Custom... and enter -90 for the X-axis. Position the plane with Edit > Locate > Stand 3. Position the object In the Top viewport the shadow will be created along the X-axis, with the light source at the left. Orient the extruded text accordingly (do it as you wish) and position it over the plane. I placed it on the plane (Edit > Locate > Stand on Ground), slightly rotated around Y-axis (see the image). 4. Make a shadow color In the Material Editor make a new material for the shadow. Real shadows are never black, so choose a dark grey with a violet or brown tint. The shadow has to be absolute matte, so enter zero for Diffuse and Specular. 5. Create the shadow (it's Select the text object and apply the shadow color. Right click the plane to add it to the selection and do Build > Group. Now we are going to rotate the group according to the direction of the light. Assuming that the light's direction makes an alpha angle with the plane, we have to rotate it around Z axis with (alpha-90) angle. For this tutorial let's admit the light falls under an angle of 30 degrees, so rotate the group (Edit > Rotate > Rotate custom...) around the Z axis with -60 degrees. Under Options > Debug deselect Show Grid. Click away to deselect the group. What you see now in the Top view is actually the shadow, only that it is compressed along the X-axis (see the picture). 6. Capture the shadow Capture the screen (hit Print Screen on the keyboard or use a capture application). Load the captured image in an image editor end select the exact boundaries of the shadow plane (see the picture). Copy, than save the selection as new image in a format accepted by Anim8or textures. At this point you may want to soften the edges of the shadow or add a penumbra, but for the tutorial is good as it is. 7. Apply the shadow on the Back to Anim8or, hit undo to undo the rotation, undo ones more to ungroup and hit undo for the third time to undo the shadow-coloring of the text. In the Material Editor create a new material by loading the shadow-image file saved at step 6. Select the plane and apply the new material. You may apply a color on the text and an amount of transparency to the shadow-plane if you want, and that's all! Change to Ortho view to admire your work (see the image). A few words about creating the shadow The shape of a shadow in infinite light is the isometric projection of the contour of the shadow-casting object (viewed in the direction of light) over the receiving surface. At step 5, when rotating the group with alpha-90 degrees, the Top view featured the object's largest cross-section viewed in the direction of the light (which actually obstructs the light) as a matte dark shape. That would be the shape of the shadow in orthogonal projection, i.e. if the receiving plane would be perpendicular on the direction of the light. Because our plane is inclined, that "orthogonal shadow" has to be scaled with a factor of 1/sin(alpha) along the X-axis. Anim8or does that for us! You have noticed that the receiving plane appeared compressed along the X-axis with the same scaling factor. At step 7, when mapping the image of the compressed shadow-plane on the actual shadow-plane, the image of the shadow is stretched with the exact amount to be mathematically correct. This simple method is applicable even if the shadow falls over a bumpy surface, provided that planar mapping is satisfactory (see the picture). To be visible the texture under the shadow, make the shadow-color transparent (at step 4), or make the shadow-plane transparent (at step 7) and place it over the textured surface. If your object has assigned different colors to different faces, after re-coloring it at step 5, the undo maneuver doesn't recover the colors. To avoid this problem, at step 5, just before applying the shadow color to the object, do Edit > Copy and your precious object is back-upped. Do the procedure as described above and at step 7, after the third undo when the object appears with missing colors, just cut it and do Edit > Paste. The initial object is pasted in the At step 6, if you process the shadow image in the paint program, be careful not to affect that part of the contour that will be overlapped by the object. A shadow may appear on the lightened The shadows created along the X-axis will never fit the Object Editor's default lights. Render from the Scene Editor, with properly oriented infinite light.
NCLB called on public schools to close achievement gaps, and that focus is one thing that’s not likely to change whenever Congress gets around to reauthorizing ESEA. However, a new study by ACT shows how long the odds are for low-achieving 4th and 8th graders to eventually graduate college-ready, which should make us think about how to go about gap closing. ACT has once again mined its considerable databases to track the progress of students as they moved from 4th to 12th grades in order to find out how many ended up “college ready.” ACT grouped students by three achievement levels: on track to college-readiness, off track, and far off track. Here’s what they found about 8th graders’ chances: This table means that only 10 percent of students who were far off track in 8th grade were college ready in reading by 12th grade. The analysts further found that African American and Hispanic 8th graders were twice as likely to be “far off track” than their white classmates. Similar patterns were evident among 4th graders, too. If there’s a silver lining in this news, it’s this: “Far off” students who attended the top 10 percent of schools were about three times as likely to become college-ready. In reading, for example, 28 percent of “far off” 8th graders in the top schools had become college-ready by the time they were seniors compared to the overall average of 10 percent. This shows us that there are things schools can do to reverse the downward trajectory of low achievement. At the same time, though, it underscores how hard it is to break these trends after 4th grade. As if we still needed another argument for starting early with high-quality pre-k, ACT has surely given us one. But they also provide evidence for never giving up on kids and their capacity to learn to high levels, even in high school. A note on methodology: ACT’s college-ready benchmark is the score at which students have a 75 percent chance of earning a C or better and a 50 percent chance of earning a B or better in the relevant college freshman course. Their database has data for students in a half dozen states who take the ACT series of aligned tests at 4th, 8th and end of high school. You can find their report “Catching up to college and career readiness” — and I encourage you to do so — at www.act.org.
Husky Stadium Has Long History Beyond Football Early September means college football. And down along Montlake Boulevard, the University of Washington Huskies are getting ready to play in their remodeled and expanded stadium. Though most of the structure is new, there’s been a stadium on this same spot since 1920. And in nearly a century, it’s played host to a lot more than football games. In 1923, President Warren G. Harding gave a speech at the stadium about the future of Alaska. The speech would barely be remembered, if at all, other than the fact it was to be Harding’s last public address. The President was seriously ill, and he died in San Francisco a few days later. Twenty years after that, FDR was president and the nation was at war. Civilians on the home front all over the US were pressed into service, to be ready for an enemy invasion. In Seattle, local civil defense authorities created a remarkably elaborate simulated attack, using the Husky gridiron as the stage. The public was invited to come and watch. Bombers flew overheard, mock buildings burst into flame, and make-believe chemical weapons rained down on pretend victims played by students. Medics and firefighters rushed to the aid of people and property, with fire trucks and ambulances, and an army of volunteers, pitching in to help. It would be decades before anything quite so dramatic would take place at Husky Stadium again. But one reliable source for edge-of-the-seat suspense has always been the annual match up with cross-state rivals the Washington State Cougars. In 1962, the game was officially renamed “The Apple Cup” and it was played that year in Spokane. A year later, the Apple Cup came to Seattle. It was the weekend before Thanksgiving, and the game was set for Saturday. And then the news came: President Kennedy had been assassinated. In the wake of JFK’s death that Friday in Dallas, the 1963 Apple Cup was postponed. A week later, the Huskies beat the Cougs at Montlake, 16 – 0. Husky Football has been something of a rollercoaster throughout the history of the stadium—from the highs of Rose Bowl appearances and national championships, to the lows of losing streaks and off-field troubles for coaches and players. But Husky Stadium also created a little history of its own, though it was in the stands and not on the field. During a game against Stanford on Halloween 1981, many credit former Husky Yell King Robb Weller for invention of the loud and synchronized cheer known as “The Wave.” It wasn’t long before the Montlake-born Wave reached the shores and sports fans of every continent. And back home, Husky fans have kept cheering, even through the tough times, and kept coming back to Husky Stadium for football, soccer and track and field. In the mid 80s, the University of Washington decided to capitalize on the demand and add more seating capacity with a major addition on the north side of the field. The bigger capacity was a boon to ticket revenue, and also helped Seattle land the 1990 Goodwill Games. This Cold War-era Olympics-like event brought athletes from around the world and thousands of spectators to the Pacific Northwest. Husky Stadium hosted the opening ceremonies, and Ronald Reagan was the keynote speaker. And though the former President and actor got a lot of applause that day, the crowd did not break out into a spontaneous “Wave.”
The Yellow-shouldered Blackbird, Agelaius xanthomus, is a diurnal blackbird prevalent to the archipelago of Puerto Rico and one of the eleven species belonging to the Agelaius genus of the Icteridae family. As a result of forest loss due to sugar cane farming and housing development, this bird is now limited to only three areas of Puerto Rico: Mona Island and Monito Island, the Roosevelt Roads Naval Station area in eastern Puerto Rico, and the southern Puerto Rican dry forests and mangroves. The Yellow-shouldered Blackbird is a glossy black bird with a small yellow shoulder patch outlined by a white margin. Immature individuals possess a duller coloration and a brown abdomen. Although plumage coloration is identical between the sexes, sexual dimorphism is present in this species with males being larger than females. Adult individuals measure from 7.8 to 9 inches and weigh 1.2 to 1.44 ounces. Yellow-shouldered Blackbirds are omnivorous, but are considered to be arboreal insectivores since the majority of their diet consists of insects. Aside from natural material, the species also consumes processed food such as cattle ration, human food (cooked rice and sugar), dog food and monkey chow. Plant matter was acquired from processed foods while insects are gleaned from the canopy and sub-canopy layers of trees. The Yellow-shouldered Blackbird breeding season commonly spans from April to August but breeding activity has been observed from February to November. The species is believed to be monogamous with a single attempt at nesting per year and with nesting being performed in loose colonies. Nests contain from 1 to 4 eggs with an average of 3 eggs. Eggs are blue-green with brown spots and are incubated for 13 days by the female. Nestlings leave the nest 13 to 16 days after hatching and reach sexual maturity at 1 year of age. Yellow-shouldered Blackbirds engage in anting, a rare behavior only observed in the Puerto Rican Tanager among West Indian birds. Individuals were observed applying ants to its body and feathers for a short period of time. The species also engages in mobbing, a behavior in which a pack of birds, from one or more species, attack a known predator (usually to defend eggs or hatchlings).
A globular cluster is a spherical collection of stars that orbits a galactic core as a satellite. Globular clusters are very tightly bound by gravity, which gives them their spherical shapes and relatively high stellar densities toward their centers. Messier 3 (also known as M3 or NGC 5272) is a globular cluster of stars in the northern constellation of Canes Venatici. It was discovered by Charles Messier on May 3, 1764, and resolved into stars by William Herschel around 1784. Since then, it has become one of the best-studied globular...
The insect vectors of interest are the whitefly: B. tabaci (Gennadius, Hemiptera: Aleyrodidae) and T. vaporariorum (Hemiptera: Aleyrodidae). Whiteflies are important agricultural pests with a global distribution (Anderson et al., 2004; Lapidot et al., 2014). Their agricultural importance is associated with damage caused during feeding on the plant phloem resulting in the production of honeydew (Colvin et al., 2006; Prijović et al., 2013; Eigenbrode, Bosque-Pérez & Davis, 2018). Honeydew serves both to reduce transpiration and as an inoculation point for saprophytic fungi, which grows over the leaf surface reducing photosynthesis (Colvin et al., 2006; Macfadyen et al., 2018). Secondly, they are associated with the transmission of over 600 viruses of which 100 are of significant agricultural importance (Jones 2003; Polston, De Barro, and Boykin, 2014; Lu et al., 2017). In SSA these viruses affect several important crops and in particular, cassava (Manihot esculenta Crantz) and sweet potato (Ipomea batata (L.)). Within this two crops, several whitefly-transmitted viruses have been reported which include; Cassava mosaic virus (CMV) (Legg, 1999; Naseem and Winter, 2016; Tairo et al., 2017) Cassava brown streak virus (CBSV) (Hillocks and Jennings, 2003; (Maruthi et al., 2005; Ndunguru et al., 2015; Alicai et al., 2016), Sweet potato chlorotic stunt virus (SPCSV), Sweet potato chlorotic fleck virus (SPCFV) (Ateka, et al., 2004; Tugume, et al., 2016; Mulabisana et al., 2018).Agro-ecosystems within the highlands of Kenya The agro-ecosystem within smallholder farms within the highlands of Kenya, are highly heterogeneous under mixed cropping system. Within the highlands of Kenya, maize (Zea May) is main crop and is intercropped with legumes such as common beans (Phaseolus vulgaris L.), cowpea (Vigna unguiculata (L.) Walp.), groundnuts (Arachis hypogaea L). Other crops found within this cropping system are, cassava, sweet potato and indigenous vegetables (Fig. 1). This form of cropping system is popular among smallholder farmers due to several advantages. Firstly, it reduces the risk of complete crop failure in cases of diseases or pest outbreaks. Secondly it maximizing the available land and manual labor (Mucheru-Muna et al., 2010).
Former Lieutenant Governor of Texas, university professor, and Chancellor of the University of Houston System. The following is from a presentation by former Lieutenant Governor Bill Hobby at the Lyndon B. Johnson Library on January 19, 2012. Let’s start with Sam Houston. Sam Houston is a pretty good place to start any talk about American history. Sam fought in the War of 1812 and his descendants span our history from then to my own lifetime. At the suggestion of his mentor Andrew Jackson, Houston, on his way to Washington for his first session as a Tennessee congressman in 1823, stopped at Monticello to meet Thomas Jefferson. So a veteran of the War of 1812 and an acquaintance of the third President of the United States, of the Marquis de Lafayette and Alexander de Tocqueville, was the father of a United States Senator from Texas who served when I was a child. LBJ and Sam Houston LBJ’s great-grandfather George Washington Baines baptized Sam Houston in Rocky Creek near Independence in 1854. When Brother Baines told Sam that the immersion would wash away all his sins, Sam said “I hope so, but if they were all washed away, the Lord help the fish down below.” Brother Baines was later President of Baylor University. Senator Andrew Jackson Houston, who knelt with his father at Andrew Jackson’s deathbed, briefly held the same seat his father had been the first to hold. When Senator A. J. Houston, 87, died on schedule after two months in office (4/21-6/26, 1941) LBJ made his first run for the Houston seat. LBJ lost to Governor W. Lee “Pass the Biscuits Pappy” O’Daniel. LBJ won on his second try (1949), becoming a successor to both the Senators Houston. My own family’s connection with the Johnson family began three generations ago when LBJ’s father Sam Ealy Johnson and my grandfather I. W. Culp served together in the Texas House in the 36th (1919-21) and 38th (1923-25) Legislatures. In the next generation LBJ and my parents were connected through the television business, as well as through government and politics. Mrs. Johnson owned several radio and TV stations. The first was KLBJ (nee KVET) in Austin. Jess Kellam managed her stations and Jack Harris managed ours. Tom Johnson, who later managed the Johnson stations, will tell you that Jack Harris was his mentor. In the current generation, Lynda and Luci and I more or less grew up together and the friendship continues today. The afternoon before President Kennedy was assassinated in Dallas he and LBJ came to Houston to dedicate the Albert Thomas Convention Center. Jack Valenti, then a Houston Post columnist, and I greeted LBJ at the airport. LBJ shanghaied Jack into going on to Fort Worth and Dallas with him. After JFK was shot the Secret Service took LBJ to Air Force One at Love Field. While LBJ and Mrs. Kennedy, still in her blood-stained dress, waited for JFK’s body to arrive from Parkland Hospital LBJ told Jack to get Attorney General Robert Kennedy on the phone. RFK advised LBJ to take the oath immediately and put somebody on the phone to dictate the oath to Jack. LBJ then sent for Judge Sarah Hughes whom we see holding the Bible and administering the oath in this historic photo. Jack Valenti is farthest to the left. Congressman Albert Thomas is next to Jack. Congressman Jack Brooks is behind Mrs. Kennedy. LBJ’s Last Inauguration Dolph Briscoe and I were sworn in as Governor and Lieutenant Governor thirty-seven years ago last Monday. I called President Johnson the day before to tell him how much it would mean to my mother and Diana and me if he and Mrs. Johnson would come to the inauguration. “When is it?”, asked LBJ. “Tomorrow, Mr. President.” “I know it’s tomorrow. What time?” “Noon, Mr. President” “Noon? That’s when I take my nap. You’re just trying to kill a sick old man!”, LBJ barked. Nonetheless, the Johnsons came to the inauguration, where he was mobbed by well-wishers. It was his last public appearance. He died a week later. —————————–William “Bill” Hobby Former Lieutenant Governor of Texas, university professor, and Chancellor of the University of Houston System.
All of the Oligocene vertebrate fossils on this list are from the White River Formation (30-36 million years old) and have been collected from deeded lands in Converse County, Wyoming. Written collecting permits from the private landowner are available for inspection. All specimens with Douglas Fossils collection numbers (e.g. DF0100) have precise stratigraphic and locality data recorded in Douglas Fossil's files. Copies of the stratigraphic and locality data can be obtained by request. Paleontology and Geology of The White River Fm. Geology of the White River Formation The White River Formation contains numerous late Eocene and Oligocene vertebrate, invertebrate and plant fossils in the Douglas, Wyoming area. It is composed of terrestrial sedimentary rocks (300 meters thick), including mudstones, siltstones, sandstones, minor conglomerates, and volcanic tuffs.The paleoenvironment was an aggradational meandering river system (ancestoral North Platte River) with the conglomerates and sandstones reflecting the stream channels and mudstones and siltstones deposited during periodic overbank flooding by the river. It is a classic paleoenvironment for preserving a terrestrial fauna. The occurrence of more than 13 volcanic tuffs (airfall ash deposits) within the White River Formation interspersed with numerous excellent fossils and magnetically susceptible rocks provides a unique and scientifically exciting control to the geology of this area that is unparalleled. Only two of the tuffs has been isotopically dated (Tuff #5 age 33.9 Ma, Swisher and Prothero, 1990 and Prothero and Swisher, 1992)(Tuff #5 age 34 Ma, Tuff #7 age 31.2 Ma, J. Scott 2000), but many of the other tuffs can and should be dated. The stratigraphy and invertebrate (snail) paleontology of the area has recently been thoroughly studied by Evanoff (1993 and et.al 1992) with many measured sections and descriptions of the volcanic tuffs. A generalized measured section is presented here from Evanoff's PhD dissertation studies( Figure 2). This co-occurrence of fossils, magnetically stable beds, and datable volcanic tuffs will allow future research in this area to be correlated regionally (Nebraska, South Dakota, western U. S.) and worldwide. Vertebrate Paleontology of White River Formation The vertebrate fossils from the Douglas area include spectacular specimens of reptiles (snakes, lizards, tortoises and turtles) and mammals (ancestoral modern lineages: horses, dogs, cats, mustelids, camels, deer, rhinoceros, rodents, rabbits, insectivores, and marsupials and extinct lineages: brontotheres, entelodonts, oreodonts, hyaenodonts, and sabertooth cats). It is the world's best locality for many of the small, delicate, and rare mammals and reptiles of the mid-Tertiary period. The specimens of fossil snakes (Breithaupt, 1997), amphisbaenids (Dickson and Cunningham, 1997), marsupials, insectivores, and rodents are unique and exceptional. This is due to a combination of paleoecology (a burrowing community)(Sundell, K, 1997a and Sundell, C., 1998) and unique preservation conditions (secondary calcite cementation). Well articulated skeletons of many of the larger mammals are also found. Many include unborn fetuses (Figure 3), juveniles, and multiple death assemblages that are unknown scientifically (Sundell, K., 1997a,1997b, 1998). Several local vertebrate and one invertebrate paleontological studies have been done in this area that provide a general biostratigraphic framework (Kron, 1978, Prothero, 1983, and Evanoff, 1993, Evanoff, et. al. 1992). The White River Formation can usually be subdivided into three fossil land mammal ages based on the vertebrate fauna, including the Chadronian, Orellan, and Whitneyan North American Land Mammal Ages (NALMAs) from oldest to youngest, respectively. (Figure 4. White River Formation simplified chart). The Chadronian and Orellan faunas have been firmly delineated in the Douglas area, but the Whitneyan fossils are rare in the upper third of the White River Formation at this locality and elsewhere. The change from Chadronian to Orellan faunas occurs very near the one isotopically dated tuff bed. This single date and faunal change has been a key data point for revisions of the Chadronian North American land mammal age from the early Oligocene epoch to the late Eocene epoch (Swisher and Prothero, 1990, Prothero and Swisher, 1992). This important boundary change and the less studied Orellan to Whitneyan boundary can be studied in great detail in the Douglas area. A second key tuff bed has been located slightly above the probable Orellan/ Whitneyan NALMA boundary and tentatively dated at ~31 MA (Scott 2000) with more than 120 meters of Whitneyan fossiliferous rocks occurring above this tuff. The unique interrelations of prolific fossils, radiometric datable tuff beds, and paleomagnetic susceptible sediments from three NALMAs and 5 magnetic Chrons ((9-13) in one geographic location is the primary focus of future research at this locality. By studying the precise stratigraphic and geographic location of the more than 3,500 skulls and skeletons collected by Douglas Fossils a tremendous data set can be used to help interpret paleoecological changes both vertically (stratigraphic relations to ash beds and evolutionary change through time) and horizontally (geographic lateral changes in the Douglas area and correlations to other White River outcrops in Nebraska, South Dakota, and Colorado). Additionally the forensic analysis of some of the more spectacular specimens (multiple oreodonts, multiple camels, carnivore dens, carnivore killsites, bite marks, coprolites, and leftovers) allows us to better interpret how each of these unique organisms lived their lives and how they died. We have studied in detail and proven many new hypotheses, such as: 1)How Oreodonts lived in burrows much like modern prairie dogs rather than in large herds on the open plains. 2)Hyaenodons (last of the Creodonts) are the dominant predator of Oreodonts and are symbiotically tied to them. 3) Archaeotheriums are dominantly attack predators that bite their prey and battle each other by running alongside and biting the back of their adversary's skull and swallow them whole or in big gulping chunks similar to crocodiles. The recently discovered Swan Lake plant locality of Orellan age is the first good assemblage of plant material (leaves, trees, roots, grasses, pollen, and phytoliths) to be found in the upper (Oligocene) portion of the White River Formation. The lake deposits are lateral equivalents to the best mammal producing horizons a few miles away (up ancestral-North Platte drainage during Oligocene). Future detail studies of this plant data will proving the rate of climate change across the Eocene/Oligocene boundary in central North America. The phytoliths will eventually be used to show exactly which plants the various herbivores were eating. Dental plaque on ungulate teeth contain phytoliths identified in the plants of Swan Lake. Together the forensic science of "who is eating whom" and which herbivores are eating which plants will result in a true paleoecology of changes in the paleoenvironment from Eocene to the Oligocene within the White River Formation.

Only Connect is a BBC game show that also has an online site. There are sixteen squares with words on each one. The player needs to use the words to create four categories of four words each. It’s a great game that helps develop the higher-order thinking skill of categorization. The online game is too difficult for all but advanced English Language Learners, plus you only get three minutes to complete it. However, the idea is a wonderful one for the English Language Learner classroom (and even mainstream ones, too). Students can create their own, and then can exchange their creations with a classmate, who in turn can try to solve them. All students need is to make sixteen boxes on their paper.

This Article has two principal purposes. The first is to examine the logic and limits of a medieval debate over same-sex unions. The medieval lawyers who engaged in this debate were no friends of same-sex unions. The debate, rather, seemed to take the form of an academic exercise by which the lawyers involved defined more rigorously the boundaries of what counted as marriage and also imported into the jurisprudence of marriage a deeply-hostile homophobia. I do not assert that same-sex marriage was an actual social reality in the Middle Ages. The existence of this debate, however, is quite remarkable in its own right. The Article’s second major purpose, then, is to reconsider the origins of homophobia. By connecting the canon law of marriage with homophobic rhetoric, the medieval lawyers reinterpreted marriage as an institution that not only served certain ends in its own right but existed to defeat the perceived threat of same-sex relations. This linkage, first articulated in the thirteenth century, unfortunately remains a feature of the contemporary debate over same-sex unions. Monday, January 13, 2014 Reid on the Medieval Canon Lawyers and Same-Sex Unions Charles J. Reid, Jr., University of St. Thomas School of Law (Minnesota), has posted "May a Man Marry a Man?" Medieval Canon Lawyers Analyze Same-Sex Unions. Here is the abstract:
was the Indo-European language that was spoken in Greece from approximately 800 BC to 100 BC. Greece at this time was not a unified nation, but a collection of independent powers connected by a common language and culture. The New Testament was written in Ancient Greek. Ancient Greek is the ancestor of modern Greek. See also Ancient Greek names.
Sukkot and Simchat Torah Social Justice Guide As a people with agricultural roots, Jews have found many ways to mark the seasonal and environmental changes that occur throughout the year. Sukkot has numerous other themes and areas of focus that encompass seasonal, historical, and theological perspectives. It is among the festivals that fall in the month of Tishrei, emphasizing not only the cycles of the earth, but also the cycles of Jewish life. (The other holidays in Tishrei are Rosh HaShanah, Yom Kippur, and Simchat Torah.) Sukkot concludes with the celebration of Simchat Torah, when Jews mark the cycle of Torah readings by finishing the book of Deuteronomy and immediately beginning the book of Genesis. This practice reminds us of the constant need to study all that Torah has to offer, including teachings regarding social justice and righteousness. You can incorporate social action themes into your Sukkot and Simchat Torah celebrations in the following ways. Focus on Housing Issues The word sukkah sounds much like sichah, the Hebrew word for conversation. As such, Sukkot can provide an excellent opportunity to converse about housing issues and homelessness. On Sukkot, we are commanded to live in temporary booths for seven days, to remind us of the time when our wandering ancestors had to dwell in sukkot following the exodus from Egypt. This naturally draws to mind those who are homeless, or who must live in temporary housing all year round, unable to procure a permanent home of their own. We have the privilege of returning to our homes following the seven days, but there are many who have no homes to which they can return. Volunteer with Habitat for Humanity or another local housing initiative during the week of Sukkot to help build simple, decent, affordable housing for – and with – people in need. Make a Recycled Sukkah The seven days spent in the sukkah allow for closer interaction with the environment in a way that permanent homes do not. Eating and sleeping in sukkot creates a connection with the wind, outside air, sun, moon, and stars. Such an encounter with the natural world during this season can inspire us to pay closer attention to issues that affect the environment daily. Use as many recycled materials as possible in the building of a family or communal sukkah. This project can promote an appreciation of the importance of buying and using environmentally sustainable products. Honor Farmers and Farm Workers Sukkot is an excellent opportunity to honor those who provide us with produce and other healthy food throughout the year. Invite a local farmer or farm worker to a home or congregational sukkah, and allow him or her to speak about the challenges of growing healthy food in the local ecosystem. A farm worker might be asked to speak about the difficulties of working around pesticides and the dangers of poor working conditions. Other sukkot guests might be invited to receive honors for their justice work in the community. Host an Autumn Warm-Up Clothing Drive Sukkot often signals the end of summer and the beginning of the cooler seasons. A clothing drive held as the weather gets colder is a simple yet very important mitzvah. Help make the winter months warmer for someone in need by collecting new or gently used coats, gloves, hats, mittens, wool socks, etc. during the week of Sukkot. Contact local shelters to see where your donation will be most needed to Decorate and Donate While we are commanded to rejoice abundantly at this time of year, we also must assist others who are financially incapable of rejoicing. According to the Jewish scholar Maimonides, proper observance of Sukkot requires that we feed those around us who are in need. Hunger and poverty were facts of life in Maimonides’ time and unfortunately continue to be major concerns in our time. Hold a Sukkot potluck event to celebrate the holiday, help the hungry in your community, and even encourage awareness of the needs of local farmers. Encourage your attendees to support local farmers by using locally grown produce for their potluck dishes and to bring a bag of apples or some other locally grown produce to be collected and donated to those in need through a local organization. Engage in Interfaith Dialogue In Temple times in Jerusalem, Jews sacrificed 70 bulls during the week of Sukkot to atone for sins, committed not just by them, but also on behalf of the bible’s “70 nations” of the world. This tradition demonstrates the importance of praying and acting for the well-being of all nations, not just Israel. Sukkot is an excellent time to welcome representatives from the local Arab-American community to engage in dialogue, debate, and learning about the current situation in the Middle East. Words of peace and sharing between the two groups, particularly at a time of strife in the Middle East, can be most meaningful for all. Adopt a Park As Sukkot inspires us to appreciate the natural world around us, we become more aware of our responsibility to keep nature beautiful and clean. With friends, family, or fellow synagogue members, “adopt” a local park, street, beach, lake, river, etc., and be responsible for cleaning up that particular area. The project can be started during the week of Sukkot and extended throughout the year.
Carbon dioxide gets the fame and attention, out of the greenhouse gases. But there are others that are even more effective at trapping heat; they just exist in much smaller concentrations, so they don’t usually face the same level of scrutiny or regulation. The United States is finally taking aim at an important type of these lesser-known superpollutants: hydrofluorocarbons, or HFCs, which are used in air conditioners and refrigerators. The Environmental Protection Agency announced a rule on Monday, first reported by the New York Times’s Lisa Friedman, that it will phase out the coolant’s use by 85 percent over the next 15 years. The EPA estimates the rule would cut down on the equivalent of 4.7 billion metric tons of carbon dioxide from 2022 to 2050 — about equal to three years of US power sector pollution. HFCs have only been used in appliances since the 1990s, as a replacement for ozone-depleting chemicals, but their use has grown at a terrifying rate. While HFCs still only comprise about 1 percent of total greenhouse emissions, they are thousands of times better at trapping heat than carbon over a 20-year period. Left unregulated, global HFCs would add another half-degree Celsius of warming by 2100, according to the EPA. That half-degree is crucial to avoid — it’s the difference between the world we have today and the one we will have soon at 1.5 degrees Celsius, and means crop failures, Arctic ice-free summers, and cities facing unmanageable flooding. And it’s especially important to start phasing out HFCs now, since the global stock of air conditioners is rising rapidly in a warming world: According to United Nations’ Climate and Clean Air Coalition, there will be 10 AC units sold every second for the next 30 years. The alternative chemicals all have some impact on global warming, but natural (meaning not human-made) options have a much smaller footprint, according to Project Drawdown. Ammonia, for example, has almost zero impact. That’s why the EPA’s new proposed regulation that sets the first cap for manufacturing and importing HFCs in the US is very good news. But after years of former President Donald Trump kneecapping US climate policy, another big task awaits for President Joe Biden to rein in HFCs: ratifying the 2016 Kigali Amendment, the global agreement to phase down these dangerous chemicals by 85 percent before 2050. It’s one of many amendments that has been added to the Montreal Protocol since 1987, a treaty that has been used to phase out ozone-depleting chemicals. Every one of these amendments was ratified and implemented successfully by the US —except Kigali, the one that came along just as Trump and Republicans took power and brought climate action to a standstill. Just before President Barack Obama left office, his administration helped negotiate the Kigali Amendment to the Montreal Protocol to phase out HFCs and replace them with alternative chemicals. To date, more than 110 nations have ratified the Kigali Amendment, passing the threshold for it to enter into force. The United States still isn’t one of the countries that has ratified it because Trump never submitted the Kigali Amendment to the Senate for ratification. “It is important to move fast” on HFC pollutants, Natural Resources Defense Council climate and clean energy director David Doniger said, noting that progress on HFCs still continued despite Trump. Doniger thinks Congress can finally ratify the amendment on a bipartisan basis, which would provide a degree of permanence for Biden’s actions and assurance to the world ahead of the next global climate talks. While the Trump administration waffled on HFCs, 17 US states have passed bans or restrictions to begin their own phasedowns. Now there is finally momentum. Biden recently announced along with China that the US would support the Kigali Amendment targets, and Biden will finally submit the treaty to the Senate to ratify. Signing the treaty would likely have less of an impact than the US actually regulating these emissions. But the EPA couldn’t do that on its own because in 2017 a federal court struck down the Obama EPA’s first attempt to regulate HFCs, saying the agency didn’t have authority under the Clean Air Act. Since Congress has now given the EPA the needed authority, the next step will be accepting public comment and finalizing the rule later this year. There was bipartisan and industry support for updating the EPA’s mandates, but Congress didn’t act until late 2020, when it finally passed a measure in the American Innovation and Manufacturing (AIM) Act directing the EPA to regulate HFCs. Though members of both parties were on board with the proposal, it was still an uphill climb to convince key Senate Republicans to attach the measure to the year-end omnibus. One of the last pieces falling into place is the federal government’s role in phasing out this superpollutant. It’s a lesson we keep having to learn again and again, on the role a proactive Congress plays in speeding up the adoption of climate solutions. HFCs are an important piece of the solution. “As we come up with policies [to limit warming to] 1.5 degree or 2 degrees Celsius, you can’t hope to get there if you are going to add a whole half-degree in HFCs, so it’s absolutely critical to meet these goals,” Doniger said.
How to Build a Sod House This is a letter to my son, Thomas Kerns, grade 5 (1966) for a school project. It was written by my father, Robert Orloff Dragoo, whose parents homesteaded in Perkins County, South Dakota in 1910, when he was 9 years old. I can’t qualify as an expert at building a sod house, but I can remember some experiences that have to do with building one, for my folks built one in 1910 and I built one in 1933. To begin with you must find the proper kind of sod, something that has a dense, continuous mat of roots. Many of the homesteaders chose a draw that had a growth of what we called "red top grass". You could get good sod for convenience in handling and building but the dirt in the roots would not stand up long under wind and rain. My dad, after the first couple loads followed some old timers’ advice and went down along the creek, beside a water hole and got what we called "alkali sod". Long course marsh grass, with a heavy root system grew there, and when it dried, it turned almost white with alkali and baked almost as hard as a brick. For years we hung coats on nails driven into the sod wall and for over sixty years the walls withstood rain and wind erosion with no protective coating. (Note: as of 1997, the house is still standing.) The sods were so wet that water almost ran down the furrow from which they were taken. The grass grew back and 23 years later I took a second crop of sod from the same place. The requirement was a plow and team of horses—tractors were unknown in 1910 and they would have mired down if they had been there. The steadier the team, the more uniform the furrow and the sod that was turned over. The plow was made different from the plows of later years, a "breaker moldboard". Today’s plows have a twist to the moldboard that breaks up the soil as it passes across the moldboard. The "breaker" plows were twisted just enough to lay the sod over in one long strip—ideally from one end of the field to the other. Those designed for heavy work had a heavy oak beam of about a "4 x 6" about 6 feet long. The one my dad had was a light plow—a "Blue Bird Rod-breaker" with a moldboard consisting of 4 rods each about 5/8" thick adjusted to different angles of turning. A gauge wheel on the beam kept the plow at the proper depth. If the horses walked straight enough it cut a sod of about 12" wide. The furrow is turned and hopefully in one long strip 12" wise, about 4" thick and as long as possible. A piece of board a little more than 2 feet long was used for measuring. A sharp spade cut the furrow into 2-foot long chunks plus a little for trimming and lost of plain back muscle loaded them on the wagon. I weighed two that went into my house in 1933. One weighed 104 pounds, the other 106 pounds. 110 loads of sod went into my Dad’s house. Dad used sand rocks (sandstone) for foundations—a mistake because they gave way and eroded. A cement footing is better. When the first layer of sod was down it was trimmed exactly 2 feet in length using a 2 x 4 to trim the sods, leaving a straight, clean-cut wall. Each sod, after the first layer, was placed over the joint made by the sods underneath; at the corners, one layer was laid in one direction in one layer and in the other direction in the layer above. These precautions were taken so that no two joints in the sod were directly above one another, helping to bind the walls together to prevent cracking as it dried and settled. Door frames and window frames, made of 2" by 12" material were placed at proper levels, each having a 2" x 2" nailed on the outside of the frame in the middle. The sod next to the frame had to be notched to fit this 2" x 2". This kept the frame from tipping in or out. About 6" above the frame 2" by 12" planks had to be laid across to the sods on each side to receive succeeding layers of sod. This was to allow for settling of the sods. Not much space would be left after the walls were dry. On the house my father, your great-grandfather built, the roof was a conventional type, with rafters, boards and roofing. On the house I built, I put heavy beams across to support the weight, the main one with a truss, put on rafters, boards on the rafters, tarpaper on the boards, then about three inches of the stickiest, gumbo-iest clay I could find. This gumbo-clay shed water and provided excellent insulation both summer and winter. The floor of our house was made of cement. It was in 1933 that I built our house and some people will remember that money was very scarce in those days. (By using materials in an old shack that had stood empty for ten years and by using odds and ends from other sources, the total cash outlay for a house with two rooms—one 16’ by 16’ and the other 10’ by 16’, was $72.00). Because money was so scarce, I plastered the house inside with a mixture of one part clay and 4 parts sand from a particular sank bank found high on the side of a butte. But we had to wait until the walls dried before we could plaster. During this time of drying, the grass started to grow from the sides; we let some grow just to see how long it would get before lack of moisture killed it. About two feet! Real decorations for a room at Christmas time! Well, that about tells the story, Tom. Except for this: the house my father built in 1910 is still standing after 56 years. (Note: It is still standing in 1997.) You saw it this summer I think. Your mother moved into our sod house when she was about seven months old. Your Aunt Alice and Betty were born in it. I rather suspect you wanted a letter you could read to your class. You have my permission to read this if you want to. Merry Christmas, Tom.....and to all the rest of the family. ©1997 Lily M.

As soon as the baby arrives, we start looking for signs of well being. Although mostly the baby’s cry indicates everything is normal, a quick assessment is done using the Apgar score which is sometimes also called the newborn scoring. Apgar is a quick test performed on a baby at 1 and 5 minutes after birth. The 1-minute score determines how well the baby tolerated the birthing process. The 5-minute score tells the doctor how well the baby is doing outside the mother’s womb. In rare cases, the test will be done 10 minutes after birth. Virginia Apgar, MD (1909-1974) introduced the Apgar score in 1952. How the Test is Performed The Apgar test is done by a doctor, midwife, or nurse. The health care provider examines the baby’s: - Breathing effort - Heart rate - Muscle tone - Skin color Each category is scored with 0, 1, or 2, depending on the observed condition. - If the infant is not breathing, the respiratory score is 0. - If the respirations are slow or irregular, the infant scores 1 for respiratory effort. - If the infant cries well, the respiratory score is 2. Heart rate is evaluated by stethoscope. This is the most important assessment: - If there is no heartbeat, the infant scores 0 for heart rate. - If heart rate is less than 100 beats per minute, the infant scores 1 for heart rate. - If heart rate is greater than 100 beats per minute, the infant scores 2 for heart rate. - If muscles are loose and floppy, the infant scores 0 for muscle tone. - If there is some muscle tone, the infant scores 1. - If there is active motion, the infant scores 2 for muscle tone. Grimace response or reflex irritability is a term describing response to stimulation, such as a mild pinch: - If there is no reaction, the infant scores 0 for reflex irritability. - If there is grimacing, the infant scores 1 for reflex irritability. - If there is grimacing and a cough, sneeze, or vigorous cry, the infant scores 2 for reflex irritability. - If the skin color is pale blue, the infant scores 0 for color. - If the body is pink and the extremities are blue, the infant scores 1 for color. - If the entire body is pink, the infant scores 2 for color. Why the Test is Performed This test is done to determine whether a newborn needs help breathing or is having heart trouble. The Apgar score is based on a total score of 1 to 10. The higher the score, the better the baby is doing after birth. A score of 7, 8, or 9 is normal and is a sign that the newborn is in good health. A score of 10 is very unusual, since almost all newborns lose 1 point for blue hands and feet, which is normal for after birth. What Abnormal Results Mean Any score lower than 7 is a sign that the baby needs medical attention. The lower the score, the more help the baby needs to adjust outside the mother’s womb. Most of the time a low Apgar score is caused by: - Difficult birth - Fluid in the baby’s airway A baby with a low Apgar score may need: - Oxygen and clearing out the airway to help with breathing - Physical stimulation to get the heart beating at a healthy rate Most of the time, a low score at 1 minute is near-normal by 5 minutes. A lower Apgar score does not mean a child will have serious or long-term health problems. The Apgar score is not designed to predict the future health of the child.

This summer’s series of extreme wildfires, hurricanes, and tropical storms have made it more apparent than ever that the effects of climate change are here. Limiting the damage caused by future disasters will require a whole-of-government approach — one not limited to what the federal government can do. There’s a host of ideas that states and municipalities could implement to curb greenhouse gas emissions, particularly in some of the world’s biggest polluters: American cities. According to a 2021 study published in Frontiers, Houston, Chicago, and Los Angeles have some of the highest per-capita emissions totals in the world. The study broke down cities’ emissions based on sector, using the most recently available data (from 2009 and 2010), and found a large portion of those emissions come from transportation. Data from the EPA shows that the transportation sector is actually the biggest source of pollution in the US, and that light-duty vehicles (or passenger cars) are responsible for 58 percent of those emissions. Overall, the EPA’s research — and the 2021 study — reinforce the fact that the transportation systems of American cities over-rely on cars in ways that are not sustainable should the US actually want to approach its stated greenhouse gas reduction goal of 50 percent by 2030, a number it has to reach in order to limit global warming by 1.5 degrees Celsius or less. Reducing driving is difficult, however, because American cities, particularly those across the Southwest, are built for drivers. Biking and walking are often not options, and public transit, where it exists, does not typically serve trips that do not involve going from a city’s outskirts to its downtown or back. “There’s really only one rational way to get where you’re going, and it’s typically not direct,” said Jeff Speck, a city planner and the author of Walkable City. “It’s typically organized around the assumption of driving as the only viable transportation mode.” The greenhouse gases produced by this reality are not inevitable. They’re underwritten by federal, state, and local policy, from the initial construction of the interstate highway system to the recent bipartisan infrastructure bill, where the $39 billion in new funding for public transit is dwarfed by $110 billion for improving, expanding, and building new highways, bridges, and roads. Transforming American cities to be more walkable isn’t easy, but there are measures local authorities can take to create a safer, more democratized transportation ecosystem that can positively affect the climate crisis. I spoke with several urban planners, transportation scholars, and advocates to learn about the most important strategies for curbing car reliance in cities. From those conversations arose the following solutions — all of which are implementable on the municipal level. Make streets safer for bikes and pedestrians Many of the car trips that people take are within biking distance — say, to dinner, or an activity like a movie theater. But people may choose to drive because riding would be dangerous. They might have to cross a highway or bike down roads where there are no bike lanes. Places where bike ownership thrives — which can be as big as a city like Amsterdam, which has such a widespread bike network that cycling is favored over driving, or just a college campus — have prioritized bike and pedestrian safety over cars. Americans only love the college experience because it's the only time in their lives they live in walkable communities— ¡ ! (@Bro_Neill) January 10, 2021 In most American cities, particularly in the suburbs, that’s not the case. And when the efficient movement of cars is considered paramount over the safety of any other mode, accidents and fatalities occur. The car-centric transportation system is contributing to a consistent yearly uptick in pedestrian casualties; they rose 21 percent in 2020, according to the Governors Highway Safety Association (GHSA). “The problem is, the minute you leave the local [road], you probably enter an environment in which it’s not safe to bike because the bike lanes aren’t separate,” Speck said. By adding protected bike lines — separated from car lanes by a barrier for safety — biking becomes a safe, accessible alternative to shorter drives. Essentially, bike lanes have to be set apart by something other than “a scrap of paint,” said Ralph Buehler, the chair of Urban Affairs and Planning at Virginia Tech. This is something that became clear during the first year of the pandemic: the GHSA found that 2020’s uptick in pedestrian deaths came despite traffic decreasing by up to about 42 percent at the peak of the pandemic. Reducing traffic alone doesn’t make biking and walking safer; the streets themselves need to be redesigned with safety in mind. This sort of redesign also incentivizes walking and biking. Speck’s research has found converting 12- to 14-foot-wide driving lanes into 10-foot-wide lanes slows average car speeds from 40 miles per hour to 25 miles per hour and creates room to either add bike lanes or street-side parallel parking, which better protects the sidewalk from traffic. And relatively inexpensive changes like turning one-way streets into two-way streets or lowering the curb radius so that cars slow down more when they make right turns are also proven to reduce crashes and injuries, Speck said. Studies conducted in cities that have made such changes have found marked decreases in car use. Oslo has redesigned its roads in high pedestrian traffic areas, such that 91 percent have speed limits under 40 miles per hour, while expanding its system of bike lanes. It saw a 77 percent increase in bike traffic between 2014 and 2020. There are American examples too. In Philadelphia, an investment in miles of protected bike lanes led to a nearly 70 percent increase in the number of people who biked to work from 2010 to 2017, even as congestion and public transit use worsened. Buehler added that for such changes to be successful, there also needs to be connectivity across areas. If you’re taking a shorter trip to pick up takeout or grab a few groceries, much of it may be bike- or pedestrian-friendly — except for a critical highway juncture. To promote walking and biking, cities need to ensure that routes exist for human-powered transportation to every place the average person needs to go. When I lived in Madrid, I could walk or take transit practically everywhere without ever crossing a highway that had no pedestrian infrastructure. I would take 30-minute walks home in the middle of the night from clubs, when the Metro was not running. Even in the dark, there were no crossings where I was unprotected as a pedestrian. Examples of similar connectivity can also be found in the US, Buehler said, most commonly with respect to schools. “There’s a safe-route-to-school program that tries to design safe routes to school,” Buehler said. “You can also think about that to community centers. The main point is designing networks.” Safe routes to school are a start, but to really promote biking and walking, cities need to develop safe routes to other places, like drugstores and restaurants, as well. There’s a very large obstacle to doing this at the moment, however: zoning. End single-family zoning to encourage mixed-use development On its face, single-family zoning is a housing policy that creates quiet, uncrowded neighborhoods by restricting the development of apartments, townhouses, or any other dwelling that’s not a freestanding home. It’s incredibly prevalent in the US (75 percent of residential land is single-family zoned), and, as my colleague Jerusalem Demsas points out, it is incredibly harmful. It has had a racist impact, having been used to exclude people of color from certain neighborhoods, and it overall increases the cost of housing by limiting supply. Another problem with single-family zoning is that it encourages car usage: In areas zoned for single families, there can be little development; the idea is people live in one area and then access workplaces, leisure activities, and stores via car. “We zoned and created bento boxes,” said Brian Jencek, the director of planning at HOK, a planning and design firm. “Never let the gravy and rice touch. ... Now we want stew, but we have to undo over a century of American planning.” The best way to make that stew is to create mixed-use development, which facilitates what Jencek calls the 20-minute city, meaning you’re never more than a 20-minute walk from everything you might need, from jobs and schools to pharmacies and clinics to community centers and parks. In a mixed-use city, that’s possible. But in most American suburbs, single-family zoning does not allow for it. Going back to my Madrid example, mixed-use development meant that nearly everything was within walking distance. From my neighborhood, I could walk to school, stop at a bakery along the way, get any beauty services at a salon on the way home, and meet my friends for dinner at night. I walked or took public transit everywhere. Compare that to my grandparents’ house, in West Bloomfield, Michigan, a suburb of Detroit. Due to single-family zoning, the only activity we can walk to is to see my cousins who also live in the suburb. Any restaurant, appointment, or shopping has to be a car trip. Razing West Bloomfield and rebuilding it as a 20-minute city isn’t really feasible. But one change that could encourage the development of walkable cities over time, Speck said, is eliminating single-family zoning in areas that are within walking distance of transit stops. Doing so would encourage the development of commercial spaces, which would benefit residents in the area; and those not living near the new services would be able to access them via public transit, lessening the need for a car. Upzoning near transit also means that homeowners could add accessory dwelling units, or granny flats — a detached housing unit — on a lot, Speck said, helping to situate middle- and low-income people near transit, easing the housing crisis and putting more people in walkable and transit-accessible communities. While increased development is often associated with rising property values and gentrification, Jencek said mixed-use development, done with community input, can create the economic benefits of development without pricing people out. The end result of rezoning would look different in different neighborhoods but does not necessarily mean a complete overhaul of a community. It could just mean adding a one-acre community park to a neighborhood without recreation access or creating a network of safer, slower streets to invite restaurants to expand their outdoor seating. The idea is simple: Add a new land use to a neighborhood, creating an activity or business site that is accessible without a car. Make drivers pay the costs of driving The first two solutions focused on making driving less necessary. But people don’t always drive because they need to — they often do so because it is convenient and cheap. It’s true that the upfront cost of a car is high, and there is gas and insurance. But drivers’ other costs — road maintenance, traffic lights, and policing, for instance — are heavily subsidized. Speck said estimates place the subsidization of driving at $10 for every dollar a driver spends as opposed to $1.50 for public transit. Much of that subsidization comes in the form of taxes, which people pay whether they drive or not, but there are a lot of indirect costs as well: In higher-income households, people use highways but do not have to pay for the noise and emissions in the low-income neighborhoods that highways run through, for example. And the climate costs of mass driving affect everyone, regardless of car ownership. One solution to this is congestion pricing, where drivers must pay a fee to drive in high-traffic areas or during peak hours. Central London imposes congestion pricing, and New York City has plans to do so, though they may not materialize. Another idea is to increase the gas tax, so that actual drivers are paying the costs of car infrastructure rather than general taxation. Both of these price controls could disincentivize driving. But many experts believe making driving less convenient would do more to limit car usage, and one easy way to do this is to reduce the supply of parking. Every mode of transportation needs a terminal. Planes have airports and boats have seaports, both of which require travelers and companies to pay. But for cars, parking “is capitalized into the costs of the goods you buy,” Brian Taylor, the director of the Institute of Transportation Studies at the University of California, Los Angeles, said. Think about your local grocery store — the parking lot is often larger than the actual commercial space, and it’s free. The grocery store is expected to pay for the parking lot through the revenue it generates from sales. “We treat that as sacrosanct,” Taylor said. “The default is that the storage of private vehicles tends to get priority if you look at how we’ve allocated curb space. And that creates all sorts of problems.” Delivery vehicles and rideshares that need to pull up on the curb have no space, so they halt traffic. Traffic is generated by people circling and looking for parking, knowing they can park on the street for free instead of paying for a garage. And because city governments mandate parking requirements for most types of development, commercial development — and therefore connectivity — is stunted by the need for parking. Most American cities require parking minimums, meaning new apartment buildings and developments have to cordon off a certain amount of space for people to leave their car, either for free or for a rate much lower than the market price, considering how valuable that space is. If cities removed their minimum parking requirements for developers, there would be far less incentive to provide free parking. A private developer would likely still build some off-street parking — but they would charge for it. In Los Angeles, for example, Taylor said the real cost of an underground parking space might be $60,000. So a condo that costs $520,000, and comes with two underground parking spaces, could instead be sold at $360,000, with owners offering parking at its real cost of $60,000 per space. In that scenario, a family might forgo a second car and get an electric bike instead. To disincentivize street parking, Taylor suggested municipalities raise the price at meters, manage curbs differently, or remove parking altogether in some areas and only allow loading, unloading, and scooter and bike traffic. These are all strategies that would need to be rolled out in tandem with expanding connectivity, particularly with public transit. It is easy to imagine a situation in which gas taxes and expensive meters begin to primarily hurt low-income communities with zero access to public transportation, for instance. But once other options are in place, imposing the costs of parking on drivers would make driving more like going to a restaurant for dinner, Taylor said: You don’t do it every night, but it’s enjoyable when you do. “If people were more responsible, in one way or another, for those costs, they’d be much more judicious of their use,” Taylor said. “Instead of being the default of every trip, it would be one among an array of choices that have advantages and disadvantages.” What’s in the way of reducing car usage? The free market did not create car supremacy by itself, though the government played a big role. The government has the power to change how city-dwelling Americans use their cars, but doing so on the scale needed to truly combat climate change isn’t easy. City planners contend with regulations that promote driving, and politicians who want to change those are often met with pushback from constituents. In overcoming this, it’s important to remember that not every change needs to be a grand one — yes, a gas tax hike might help but so will more popular measures like bike lanes. And incremental advances, like new zoning regulations rolled out a few neighborhoods at a time, for instance, could have a large impact in the long run. Also, a multimodal city does not mean cars will be obsolete. Some trips, like to a hardware store, will always necessitate vehicles, and there’s a role for ridesharing as well. But policies are needed to ensure other modes receive a fair shot. It’ll make us safer, maybe happier, and will give our planet a better chance of survival.
An auger filler machine is a device commonly used in the packaging industry to accurately dispense and fill powdered or granular products into containers such as bags, bottles, or boxes. It utilizes an auger, which is a spiral-shaped screw, to measure and dispense the desired quantity of the product. Here’s a general overview of how an auger filler machine works: - Product Hopper: The machine has a large hopper where the product is stored. The hopper volume type of most of the auger filling machines made in China is 15L, 20L, 50L, and 100L. The function of the hopper is a temporary storage of materials and feeds the product into the auger system. - Auger System: The auger consists of a long, metal screw housed inside a funnel tube. It extends from the bottom of the hopper to the filling area. The auger is connected to a filling motor that drives its rotation. - Filling Area: The filling area usually consists of a funnel or a nozzle where the containers to be filled are placed. The containers can be positioned manually or automatically, depending on the machine’s design. - Rotation and Measurement: As the auger rotates, it draws the product from the hopper and conveys it along its length. The spiral design of the auger pushes the product forward while also creating a void space behind it. - Product Dispensing: As the product moves along the auger, it reaches the end where it encounters a cutoff blade or a valve mechanism. This mechanism controls the product flow and determines the desired amount to be dispensed into the container. - Container Filling: When the cutoff blade or valve mechanism opens, the product is released from the end of the auger, allowing it to fall into the container. The auger’s rotation can be synchronized with the container’s movement, ensuring precise and consistent filling. - Repeat Process: The auger continues to rotate, drawing more product from the hopper and filling subsequent containers until the desired number of containers are filled. The auger filler machine’s accuracy in the filling is achieved by controlling various factors. Including but not limited to such as auger speed, auger size, product density, and the time the cutoff blade or valve mechanism remains open. These parameters are adjustable to accommodate different product types, container sizes, and fill quantities. It’s important to note that the specific design and operation of auger filler machines can vary depending on the manufacturer and the intended application. Therefore, it’s always advisable to refer to the machine’s manual or consult the manufacturer for detailed instructions and guidelines.
Graphene, a single layer of carbon atoms arranged in a honeycomb lattice, initially attracted attention due to its remarkable electronic properties. It has since been realized that this material also exhibits exceptional mechanical properties. For a start, graphene is one of the hardest materials known. There are many applications in which the mechanical properties of graphene could be exploited to achieve performance enhancements or even new functionalities, and many specific uses have been investigated. The application of graphene in a liquid environment, however, has so far received little attention. Fong Yew Leong from the A*STAR Institute of High Performance Computing has now shed some light on the effects of fluid dynamics on graphene in such applications through a combination of molecular dynamics simulations and scaling arguments1. Leong modeled a graphene sheet, consisting of 40 by 41 atoms, immersed in a bidirectional flow of liquid argon. “As the analysis is completely scaled with respect to the size of the sheet, the actual dimensions of the graphene did not matter,” he says. According to the molecular dynamics simulations, the parameters that clearly determine the response of the graphene sheet to the flow are the initial tilt angle between the plane and the direction of flow, and the shear rate. For example, at very low tilt angles, the graphene sheet is very stable. Above a threshold tilt angle, however, a finite shear rate is required in order to rotate the sheet, and with increasing tilt angle the necessary shear rate decreases. When both parameters are sufficiently high, the sheet can actually arch (pictured) or even flex. The results of the simulations can be explained with the help of some simple scaling arguments that consider an infinite plate subject to fluid stress. As the product of tilt angle and shear stress increases, the plate can rotate, then arch and eventually bend. Interestingly however, such simple scaling models do not predict any stability region for an infinitely thin plate. Such stability can be easily accounted for, however, by considering the solvation shell radius—the minimum distance between the sheet and solvent molecules. The results obtained are not only relevant to the physical characteristics of graphene itself, but also provide predictions as to how a graphene sheet would behave in a strongly sheared fluid environment. “Our results are applicable to sheets of almost any size and to various flow patterns, so it is of general relevance to nanodevices involving graphene sheets,” says Leong. The A*STAR-affiliated researchers contributing to this research are from the Institute of High Performance Computing
Each week, I receive an email from the National Park Service that provides the latest additions to the National Register of Historic Places. A few sites are relevant to Route 66, as you might imagine. On Friday, this item led the listings: ARIZONA, COCONINO COUNTY, 1956 Grand Canyon TWA–United Airlines Aviation Accident Site Grand Canyon National Park, NATIONAL HISTORIC LANDMARK DESIGNATED/LISTED, 4/22/14 A plane crash site from more than 50 years ago? And it’s now on the National Register? The Atlantic apparently was one of the first media outlets to find out about this and explained why the crash site was deemed historically significant: At the time, it was the deadliest accident in commercial aviation history, and it prompted a huge push for aviation safety that culminated in the creation of the Federal Aviation Administration. The crash response eventually led to the development of nationwide radar, collision avoidance systems, flight-data recorders, and sophisticated navigation tools. In other words, much of the infrastructure of modern aviation security can be traced back to June 30, 1956, the day of the Grand Canyon mid-air collision. […] The designation is unusual. For one thing, it may be the first landmark to commemorate something that happened exclusively in the air. “And we’ve never done an actual crash site,” said Alexandra Lord, branch chief of the National Historic Landmarks Program in Washington, D.C. […] Technological crossroads are big, and frequently emerge as contributors to the kinds of broad patterns the Park Service looks for in deciding what to accept as a Landmark site. “We do a fair number that deal with major moments in the history of tech or history of engineering,” Lord told me. “It’s impossible to say how many.” On the morning of June 30, 1956, a United Airlines jet collided with a Trans World Airlines jet in midair over the Grand Canyon, causing both aircraft to crash and killing all 128 people aboard. It was believed the pilots were dodging thunderstorms in the area and strayed into each other’s paths. According to Wikipedia, It was the first commercial airline crash to result in over 100 deaths. A mass funeral was held on the Grand Canyon’s South Rim, and some of the remains from the United flight were interred at Grand Canyon Pioneer Cemetery. Most of the remains from the TWA flight were buried in a mass grave at Citizens Cemetery in Flagstaff, Arizona. More about the crash also can be found in a well-researched post on the Around Arizona site. Don’t go looking for the crash site in your hiking boots or a pack mule after visiting Grand Canyon National Park. The location of the plane’s wreckage is being kept secret. According to the Atlantic, people are banned from going to the site: “It’s extremely remote, so it would take a very long time for someone to get there backpacking and it would be very difficult to reach,” Lord said. “But we know where it is and we’re going to work to preserve it.” The landmark spans 1.5 square miles and has been closed to hikers since the 1950s, though people have reported encountering the wreckage since then. […] Even after an additional clean-up area in the 1970s, much of the evidence of the crash remains where it landed more than half a century ago. One aircraft buff also agreed that reaching the site is extremely difficult: Hands down, this is the most difficult crash site I have been to. The hike was 18 miles in, and required two days just to get to the confluence of the rivers. Then one has to cross the Colorado River to visit the site. The TWA crash site was reached on the third day. After that, cross the river again and spend two more days hiking out. The trip consisted of 36 miles round-trip, of which a back-country permit is required. One fellow on Flickr apparently stumbled onto a piece of the wreckage last year. And the Deseret News in Utah published a story about the crash in 2006, including interviewing Trey Brandt, who visited one of the crash sites: Brandt, who describes himself as an aviation buff and “wreckchaser,” says it’s the old planes that interest him. But when the wreck is a fatal one there will also be other grim artifacts: coins, small glass containers that once held nail polish, silver brooches. “I can picture an aunt figure or a grandmother looking in the mirror that morning and pinning it on,” he says, and the thought makes him sad. Scattered among the rocks are sales receipts and advertisements and a lady’s wrist watch, the time stopped forever at 10:32. The site brings to mind the TWA Flight 260 crash in 1955 in the Sandia Mountains above Albuquerque. Thirteen people died. Although the bodies were recovered, much of the wreckage remains on the mountain and is accessible to hikers.
The term Black Power was means black American people coming together to fight for their rights, but for some of them, fighting for their rights meant doing and treating others how they were treated. The Black Power movement flighted for Black Nationalism, this movement was so revolutionary that emphasized racial pride, economic empowerment, and the creation of political and cultural institutions. Marches occurred where people yield “we want Black Power”, “we want equality”, “we want justice”. This protest included man, women, and children’s walking the streets and protesting. African American women played an important and influential role in the black power movement. Also, the Black Panthers for self-defense was an important part of the Black Power movement. All of this real movement started by a person who believed that black and white people weren’t meant to be in the same place. White Americans will never accept them and treat them right. So, it was either fight for their rights or keep suffering like they had been, this person was Malcom X, who they called the father of Black power was an African American Muslim minister and a human rights activist. He believed that blacks were superior to whites and that African Americans should not be whit white Americans, they should be where they originated, which was African, because he believed that they would never be abundantly accepted in the American society. In my opinion Malcolm didn’t want just justice, he wanted the white Americans to suffer as much or more like African Americans had suffer through years thanks to them. He believed that their rights needed to be fight violently in order to get what it was necessary and just for them. Malcolm X was one of the people that thought that black people should control the political and economic resources of their communities without having to work with white people. And obviously it changes a lot of things.African Americans believed that there was no time to waisted and that it was time to show white people that they were equal, that they needed the same things they did. Good education for the black community, building them institutions and providing the right protection. For them to receive good medical assistance, good academic education for their kids, good treatment towards them. They had a mantra that said “Move on over or we’ll move on over you” which for me meant that they weren’t scared of anyone or anything that tried to stop them from fighting for their rights. After 1970s the Black Power movement had a down in motion, but it was not the end. It wasn’t the same, but it still had big impacts. Like in 1996 a group of them tried creating a black panther, making them march through the cities of the United states. And in 2008 they group ended due to an accusation that they were intimidation to the voters. Until today there are still group of people fighting for what they believe is the right thing. The Black Power wasn’t the first or last protest the African Americans had to defend their rights, there were many more in the history of the United States, or in general it wasn’t the first or last movement people had made to defend their rights. Yes, this movement played a big part in our history, because they learned how to defend what was right for them. It not only teaches the African Americans at that time, but to us right now that we are learning all about our history. We learned that until today we still have a lot of injustice, but now is not only for the African Americas, now a lot of people suffer discrimination. We still have fights to defend what we think is the right justice, and some people don’t stop to think If what they are defending is right or wrong, or if the person they are defending is doing something good or something bad. The Black Power for me will be one of the best impacts in the ideals of freedom in the United States, for the bravery they had and how they defended their rights without carrying what anyone else said or think about them. But that doesn’t mean at least for me that everything that happened during those years were exactly the right things to do. A lot of things had changed in the history of the United States, not only with the African Americans, but in general with the community, some good and some bad. We still fight between us and that’s a thing that will never stop. years will pass and new history books will be made, with not only what happened before us but now including us as the history of the new generations. That is something that really intrigues me, because we know that what happened before us wasn’t all justice and peace, and my question is what kind of history we are living to the new generations. Hope is a better and more justice and peaceful and make as many or more difference as our history did.
(Beyond Pesticides, January 15, 2008) Health officials have warned that a “widespread appearance” of mosquito-born diseases like dengue fever is a real possibility in the US. The disease is already beginning to make is presence felt with cases popping up in Texas, Hawaii and Puerto Rico. Dengue, a flu-like illness that infects 50 million to 100 million people a year, has been growing more prevalent and severe as it moves from tropical regions into more temperate areas, where it’s now endemic, and along the U.S. border with Mexico. Many fear that as temperatures increase in temperate regions due to global warming, mosquitoes could extend their northern migration in North America. “It’s starting to creep up from South America to the Caribbean,” Dr. Anthony S. Fauci, head of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, said in an interview. “If it can occur right at the tip of Texas, a disease which maybe people never heard of could actually appear here.” Drs. David Morens and Anthony Fauci of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases brought attention to the issue in a paper entitled Dengue and Hemorrhagic Fever: A Potential Threat to Public Health in the United States, published in this week’s issue of the Journal of the American Medical Association. More than 760,000 cases were reported in the Americas last year, of which some 20,000 involved the virulent form, known as dengue hemorrhagic fever. Hawaii had an outbreak in 2001. Puerto Rico had 10,000 cases last year, and in recent years there have been several cases on the Texas side of the U.S.-Mexico border. The CDC estimates that 100 to 200 cases each year are introduced into the United States by travelers. “You might say that increased commerce and travel plus global warming are creating a perfect storm’ that allows these and other pathogens to move around the world more effectively,” said William K. Reisen, a research entomologist at the University of California Davis Center for Vectorborne Diseases. Dr. Fauci explains that “[t]here is nothing definitive, but it’s very clear that as [temperatures] get warmer and warmer, the range of certain mosquitoes — and the duration time they are able to circulate – increases.” Even though many other scientists dispute the potential spread of the disease, all four types of dengue are currently found in the Americas, and the two types of mosquitoes that transmit it are present in the U.S.: Aedes aegypti and Aedes albopictus (also called the Asian tiger mosquito). Dr. Fauci pointed out that the Asian tiger was first seen in the U.S. in 1985 and can now be found in 36 states. There is no vaccine for dengue and people infected can have no symptoms or mild to high fevers, severe frontal headaches, severe joint pain and pain behind the eyes. Nausea, vomiting and rashes also can occur. More severe forms include bleeding from the skin, nose or gums and possible internal bleeding. If untreated, it can lead to circulatory-system failure, followed by shock and sometimes death. Responsible mosquito management can be an effective method of mosquito control. Beyond Pesticides believes the ideal mosquito management strategy emphasizes education, aggressive removal of standing water sources, larval control, monitoring and surveillance for both mosquito-borne illness and pesticide-related illness.

6 Awesome Astronomy Destinations in the U.S. If the total eclipse got you hooked on the cosmos (or even if you’re already a devoted stargazer), there’s lots more where that came from. Across the U.S., major science institutions offer hands-on educational activities and plenty of fun. 1. Griffith Observatory Located more than 1,000 feet above sea level on Mount Hollywood in Griffith Park, Los Angeles, one of America’s most beautiful urban parks, Griffith Observatory is always free and hosts a wide range of activities for all ages, including nighttime telescope viewing (the Griffith Observatory’s 12-inch Zeiss telescope has been used by more than 7 million stargazers, making it the most popular telescope on earth), educational exhibits, live shows at the observatory’s planetarium, and pinch-me views of the city. 2. Hayden Planetarium New York City Part of the American Museum of Natural History’s Rose Center for Earth and Space and led by world-famous astrophysicist Neil deGrasse Tyson, the Hayden Planetarium is a must-see for anyone visiting the Big Apple. Generations of NYC kids got their introduction to the stars here (including yours truly), and the Hayden has even been commemorated in a pop song, Fountains of Wayne’s “Laser Show.” Frontiers Lectures update audiences on the latest discoveries about our universe, Astronomy Live programs take visitors on a tour of the universe with a special focus on the night sky. 3. National Air and Space Museum One of the jewels in the Smithsonian Institution system of free national museums, the National Air and Space Museum immerses visitors in the history of flight, space exploration, and the science behind those endeavors. Best known for displaying iconic early airplanes and replicas that allow visitors to return to the days of the Wright Brothers and other pioneers and the spacecraft from the 1960s and ‘70s that first orbited earth and took people to the moon, the Air and Space Museum is also home to an IMAX theater and planetarium. 4. Kitt Peak National Observatory Sonoran Desert near Tucson, AZ At the top of a nearly 7,000-foot peak in the Sonoran Desert, the Kitt Peak National Observatory boasts the world’s largest collection of telescopes and one of the clearest skies and most beautiful locations anywhere in the U.S. for viewing the stars. Docent-led tours take daytime visitors to three large research telescopes, live views of the sun, and a variety of indoor and outdoor exhibits. Nighttime visitors are treated to incredible glimpses of our solar system and beyond. 5. Very Large Array Sure, stunning visuals like galaxies and nebulas grab a lot of the attention. But if humans ever detect signs of intelligent life attempting to contact us from the depths of space, the Very Large Array may the place where it happens. After all, that’s where Carl Sagan set the dramatic opening of his novel Contact, in which an alien species sends radio signals to our planet that are first picked up by the immense radio telescope facility at “Project Argus,” which, in the 1997 film adaptation was set here outside Socorro, NM. Visitors can take self-guided tours and once-per-month guided tours to learn more about what scientists have learned about the nature of the universe through the study of radio waves. 6. Mauna Kea Big Island, HI Sorry, other awesome astronomy destinations, but at more than 13,000 feet on a mountaintop overlooking the Pacific Ocean on Hawaii’s Big Island, Mauna Kea Observatory’s stargazing tours, telescopes, and visitor center are unparalleled and absolutely free each night of the year starting at 6pm. "Affordable" probably isn't the first word you'd use to describe dining at Disney World, but there are deals on dining to be had that don't fall into the "mega-splurge" category. Use our insider tips below for navigating the park's food scene without emptying your wallet, including how to choose the right restaurants, dine at the right times, and scoop up special offers that few park-goers know about. Make Your Character Meal a Morning Experience Every visitor, no matter the age, loves dining with their favorite Disney characters. Book your character experience for breakfast for an easy way to save. In fact, breakfast is the cheapest time of day to eat at Disney World Orlando. At destinations like Winnie the Pooh and Friends at Crystal Palace (Magic Kingdom) and Donald Duck's Safari Breakfast (Animal Kingdom), you can have the same memory-making experience while saving 35 percent per person. Plus, the food at both of these buffets is considered top notch, so fill up! Bonus savings: You can eat light at lunchtime. Bring Your Own Snacks and Water The tasty Disney treats are going to tempt you (those Mickey-shaped ice cream bars in particular), but park munchies can add up quickly. Pack a few snacks like granola bars, fruit gummies, and crackers to keep you and the kids satisfied. Go ahead and splurge on a few Disney-themed snacks, such as the unique pineapple-flavored soft serve Dole Whip dessert (served only at Disney and the Dole processing plant in Hawaii), but buying multiple bites throughout your day gets pricey. Same goes for paying $3 per bottle of water. Bring a refillable water bottle instead. Collapsible bottles are easy to pack, saving you money and space. Reserve a Full-Service Restaurant for Lunch Full-service, sit-down restaurants are some of the best Disney World dining experiences, but they're not cheap. Instead of doing a Disney dinner, reserve your meal for lunch. Not only will you be able to save about 20 percent compared with the evening, the restaurant will be less crowded, too. Plus, it's easier to get a reservation for lunch, which allows for greater flexibility for your day at the park. Full-service favorites like Be Our Guest Restaurant, Storybook Character Dining at Askerhaus Royal Banquet Hall, and Cinderella's Royal Table are excellent lunch options. World Showcase restaurants at Epcot such as San Angel Inn Restaurante and Tutto Italia Ristorante also offer better deals at lunch. Eat at Downtown Disney Deal alert! Downtown Disney will grant you the biggest savings on food. Hop in your car or take one of the Disney World buses, and you'll arrive in less than 15 minutes. Earl of Sandwich and Wolfgang Puck Express are two top picks for delicious food at a reasonable prices. Relatively new to the scene are Downtown Disney food trucks, so keep them in mind too. Order Smart It's a little-known secret: Adults can order from the kids' menu at quick-service restaurants. Many times, the meals are virtually the same as regular options, so don't think you'll be stuck with chicken fingers and grilled cheese. Another favorite money-saving option is ordering a large platter to share. Tangierine Café (Epcot) and Flame Tree Barbecue (Animal Kingdom) are two cafés with shareable-sized meals. Most counter-service meals have side items included in the price. But if you don't want (or don't need) the extra cost and calories of those French fries, simply ask for the entrée-only price. At most places, they'll be able to accommodate your request. Fun Getaways for Mother's Day FAMILY FUN IN UPSTATE NEW YORK An easy day trip or overnight from the New York City metro area, New Paltz, NY, and nearby Lake Minnewaska State Park Preserve are one of my family’s favorite ways to celebrate Mother’s Day. The Shawangunk Mountains will remind travelers of the granite peaks out west, and the hiking trails beautiful but manageable for all ages. The village of New Paltz has a charming Main Street, a welcoming flower-power vibe, and great eateries like Main Street Bistro, which has been honored by the Best of the Hudson Valley awards for its massive breakfasts. BEST B&B BREAKFAST IN AMERICA If you associate Mother’s Day with breakfast in bed, consider the Best B&B Breakfast in America, according to BedandBreakfast.com - the Chestnut Street Inn in Sheffield, Illinois, a two-hour drive from Chicago. Order their incredible Elvis Toast with Candied Bacon: It’s French Toast with peanut butter and bananas, plus bacon dredged in cinnamon and sugar (they’ll happily whip up a version sans bacon for vegetarians, of course). Enjoy a hike in nearby Starved Rock State Park and the scenic Hennepin Canal. JAZZ IN NEW ORLEANS Taking Mom out for brunch is a cliche. But a jazz brunch? In New Orleans? You’ve just won Mother’s Day. The city is legendary for heaping portions of jambalaya, beignets, and other treats, and the music is peerless. Take Mom on a carriage tour, a tasting tour, and catch as much live music as you can in the city that taught America how to swing.

But before you dole out out Draconian rules, read this: “There are some very useful apps that will actually help them get more out of a vacation and more engaged in where they are,” says Rainer Jenss, president and founder of the Family Travel Association. Picks for the best of the best are below: Best boredom-buster for long car rides: FindPlate Car Game Best tool for preparing for a trip: PackPoint Packing List Travel Companion Best navigation guide for families traveling with young children, especially in cities: Mom Maps Best national parks mobile app—it works without Wi-Fi or a data signal: Chimani If you'd still prefer to ban devices on your vacation, there's a fun fix: “While the cameras and photo apps on mobile phones are getting more and more sophisticated, I would still strongly suggest investing in an actual digital camera for the kids to play with while on vacation," Jenss says. "It gets them even more excited about snapping pictures while not getting distracted by all the phone's other functions, like texting and social media." Why I Took My Kids to Havana "You brought your kids to Cuba?” The question was repeatedly posed to us upon our return, a bit of incredulity mixed with a slight tinge of envy. Yes, between Christmas and New Years of last year, we took our well-traveled 5- and 7-year-old children to Havana for a five-day trip. Affordable, safe, filled with friendly people, live music spilling out onto nearly every street corner in old Havana, and stunning beaches a stone’s throw away, this city was surprisingly perfect for a family vacation. Since November 2016, it has been extremely easy to simply hop on a plane to Havana from the U.S. You can get your visas at your check-in counter. There are three direct flights a day from New York City, priced as low as $250 a ticket. As long as you go for one of the 12 approved types of travel, there are no other restrictions. We went under the auspices of a “people-to-people” trip, in which our goal was to meet Cuban people and have the kids learn some Spanish. That was not a challenge. Cubans are incredibly warm and friendly, and it’s easy to make new friends with a couple of smiling moppets in tow. A bit of pre-travel advice: Before leaving for Cuba, it’s extremely useful to exchange your U.S. dollars into either Canadian dollars or Euros. U.S. dollars are hit with an additional 10 percent exchange penalty that other currencies are not. There are actually two currencies in Cuba: Tourists use the CUC, or convertible peso; Cubans use the CUP, or Cuban peso, pegged roughly at 25 CUP to 1 CUC. In general, tourists do not have access to Cuban pesos, unless they get a local to swap some notes on the sly. And cash is king: U.S. credit cards and ATM cards are still not accepted in Cuba. Unless you have a foreign credit card or bank account, you need to bring a large amount of cash with you. Havana's splendors have been described by great writers over the years, but that doesn’t prepare you for the sensation of actually walking its streets. It's a full-frontal assault on all five senses. You’ll love feeling the tropical breeze caress your face while viewing grand 18th-century architecture and vintage 1950s American autos trapped in time, hearing the sounds of Son and Charanga emanate from the musicians and radios on seemingly every street corner, the smells of Havana's finest cigars wafting through the air, while sipping on the best mojito you've ever tasted. Back in the 1950s, Havana was Paris in the tropics, one of wealthiest cities in Latin America. Now it's the world’s greatest urban paradox, simultaneously modern and a trip back in time. The iconic old American cars cruise the street in equal numbers with new Toyotas and 1970s Soviet Ladas. While the Edsel may be found only in car shows and museums in America, it's a common sight on Havana's streets, as are Studebakers, '57 Chevys, and almost every other classic automobile. Our kids preferred to get around Havana in bright yellow, three-wheeled coconut shaped rickshaws, called “coco taxis.” Be prepared for a bumpy ride. Ernest Hemingway's ghost haunts every corner. He's so revered in Cuba, you'd think he was part of the Revolution. At least three bars claim to be his "favorite drinking place,” and considering Hemingway’s reputation, I suppose he could have spent enough time at each of the three bars to justify the claim. There are lines out the door at the Bodeguita del Medio on Empedrado, where Hemingway drank his mojitos. For a proper daiquiri, he would head up Calle Obispo to El Floridita. Both spots are must-visits for Hemingway fans and cocktail lovers. Finca Vigia, his residence on the outskirts of town, has been preserved as a museum exactly as he left it in 1960. STAY Most hotels in Havana are actually rather expensive, and usually booked months in advance by package tour groups. Thankfully, Havana has a well-established and government-sanctioned program of private homes and rooms to rent, called casa particulares. Since 2015, the vast majority of these can be booked on Airbnb. A room in old Havana can be had for about $40 a night. We splurged and rented a two-bedroom apartment in a high rise on the water for $90 a night in the heart of Vedado, in the newer part of town. Our apartment overlooked the Jose Marti Anti-Imperialist Platform, which prominently features a statue of Cuban hero Marti holding a young Elian Gonzales, with a reproving finger pointing at the U.S. Embassy across the plaza. EAT Well-stocked supermarkets don’t really exist in Havana. You’re at the mercy of what’s in stock, which is generally very little. While we was there, there were shelves full of Panettone and Gerber baby food, but very little in the way of eggs, fresh fruits, and vegetables. For an extremely satisfying breakfast, however, the Hotel Capri in Vedado has a vast and sumptuous buffet, open to the public. For just $12 per person ($6 for kids), a feast awaits that can fill a belly for half the day. Kids can have their fill of fruits, eggs, pancakes, cereal, and even donuts. Just as some Cubans have been allowed to rent their apartments for lodging as casa particulares, others have been allowed to operate restaurants out of their homes. These in-home restaurants, limited to 12 seats, are known as paladares and can be found throughout the city. In fact, paladares now outnumber official state restaurants. A tasty dinner including drinks can be had for $10 to $15 per person, and every cab driver will show you their favorite special “secret” paladar if you ask. SMOKE (IF THAT’S YOUR THING) Every souvenir hawker and tout in old Havana will offer to sell you “real” Cuban cigars, cheaply. While they may be indeed Cuban, and cigars, they are poorly made knockoffs of the stogies that made Havana famous. For the real deal, stop by one of the Casa de Habano stores found throughout Havana. They have every brand of Cuban cigar imaginable, and you can be assured that you’re not buying counterfeits. After teaching my kids since birth that smoking is disgusting and bad for them, I really had no explanation for why I was bringing home a box of Montecristos. I’m not sure if they bought my “a cigar is a sometimes thing” excuse. PLAY Hugging the waterfront in old Havana is a wonderful children's park and playground, replete with aging carousels, see-saws, and newer bouncy castles. It’s enough to keep the kids entertained for a few hours. Convertible pesos are not accepted for the admission fee, so if you want to visit, you need to find a local parent and trade them some CUCs for CUPs. It’s about $0.15 to enter the park, and admission to the enormous bouncy castles and slides are another $0.15. In the center of a leafy park in Vedado, an enormous mid-century modern UFO rises above the trees. Lines of locals stretch down the block on all four sides of the park. The UFO does not take trips to Miami, but houses the famed Copellia ice cream parlor. Established by Castro in the early 1960s, Copellia made ice cream accessible to the common folk. For about 20 cents and an hour’s wait, you can get an enormous bowl of Havana’s best Ice cream. For tourists who don’t want to wait and don’t mind paying a little more, there’s an opportunity to skip the line and go to a separate gringo section, where the same ice cream can be had for 10 times the price. A 20-minute cab right out of town brings you to the gorgeous beaches of Playas del Este, a great day trip. A few hotels dot a 15-mile stretch of white-sand beaches, but it’s largely free of development. For $25 (half-price for kids), you can buy a day pass at the Hotel Atlantico in Santa Maria del Mar, which includes a buffet lunch, and use of the hotel’s pool and facilities. It’s a rather aging, communist-style hotel, mainly filled with foreign package tourists and complete with the requisite overeager activities staff giving poolside salsa and rhumba lessons. The kids loved it. I should note that Cuban travel is not for everyone. Those accustomed to five-star accommodations and meals and streets lined with fancy boutiques may find themselves disappointed. Folks willing to forsake a few creature comforts for a unique experience a mere 45 minutes from Florida will find Cuba’s charms irresistible. My kids’ days of “people-to-people” experiences left them with beloved memories. As for their newfound knowledge of Spanish? The only word that seems to have lodged in their brains is helado. Ice cream, of course.
Case Studies of Environmental Impact Assessment: Air Quality Issues To provide practical guidance and document environmental impact assessment practice in the domain of air quality, AIR-EIA provides a collection of typical case studies in common, standardised framework for better comparability. EIA Case study: TPS Donaustadt: district heating Category: Thermal Power Station The impact assessment was developed for the new (planned) 350 MW gas fired plant (gas/steam turbine) which will supply up to 250 MW of district heat. With an efficiency of up to 86% (power and heating combined), it will be one of the most modern and efficient plants in operation: older power plants reach an efficiency of around 40%. The new block 3 of the Donaustadt TPS complements the existing blocks in Vienna's three major power stations, including Simmering (5 blocks with a total of 1050 MW electrical, and heat capacity of up to 630 MW) and the TPS Leopoldau with 155 MW electrical and 170 MW thermal. - BGBl. 1995/679 - Bundesgesetz über die Prüfung der Umweltverträglichkeit und die Bürgerbeteiligung (Umweltverträglichkeitsprüfungsgesetz - UVP-G) The technical planning data for the new, third block for Donaustadt (current capacity in blocks 1 and 2 is 304 MW electrical) are as follows: | Gas turbine || electrical output || heat output (without heat coupling) (with heat heat coupling) | 240 MW || 350/300 MW || 0/250 MW || 58 % || 86 % The building and emission data base covers more than 7,000 blocks, and includes data for SO2, NOx, CO2, CO, PM10, heavy metals (lead and cadmium), and HCH0 and PAH. Residential and commercial use, heating systems (individual or central) and fuel types (solid (coal), liquid (oil) and gas), all expressed as fractions of the total energy consumption, are recorded for each building. Very restricyed access to the available data and study results; since the assessment is closed, no more public access to the relevant docuemtnts is being granted. EIA study results: The main issues was to demonstrate the effects of The approach involves: - an additional stack and emissions from the new power plant block; - the reduced emissions from the building blocks now connected to the district heating scheme. - simulation of the status quo; - simulation of the new TPS design; - simulation of the reduced block emissions; - impact analysis or building of the deltas: 1 + 2 -3 To support the sudy, a special application of the AirWare air quality assessment and management information system was configured. It includes the following major modules and functions: A building heating data base that manages the energy and emission data for individual buildings or blocks of buildings. The data include basic information on the building or block of buildings, energy data, and heating system (fuel and type) specific emission rates for a group of substances. A scenario editor that supports the selection of The selection of buildings (that will or will not contribute to the emission scenario) can be based on their attributes, using a multi-criteria filtering and ranking approach, or manually, from the map display. Selecting a building represents its connection to the district heating system, and thus switching off its individual emissions. A special case it the automatic multi-criteria selection (up to the available heating capacity provided by an appropriate power plant or set of plants) of buildings, sorted by user defined selection criteria, including proximity to an existing or planned pipeline system. The basic simulation module; this involves the simulation of a base line scenario (no buildings connected), the selected scenario (some buildings connected to the power plant), and the simulation of the power plant itself. The emission and dispersion simulation is based on a Gaussian long-term model (ISC-3/AERMOD with complex topography corrections), and a long-term weather scenario (frequency distributions) for the default period of October 1 to March 31 (compatible with 96/62/EC and COM(97)500). An assessment module, that compares the two scenarios, with and without the district heating scheme, and calculates the resulting difference in terms of ambient air quality and All scenarios show a marked improvement of the overall air quality due to the substitution of local household emission (emitted at a low height) with the district heat supplied by the TPS. Depending on the weather situation, the improvement is largely local, that is at and around the areas connected to the district heating supply, but it is big enough to influence the overall immission situation (global average and maximum concentrations observed). The additional emission introduced by the TPS are negligible in comparison, due to both: - the much higher efficiency of the new plant; - the high stack and its location.

Payments for Forest Environmental Services in Viet Nam (2014–2017) In recent years, there has been increased global recognition about the important socioeconomic contribution of ecosystem services for rural livelihoods and broader society. This has helped drive countries to make greater efforts to more sustainably manage their natural capital – forest, land, and water resources and related ecosystem services. One result has been the emergence of payments for environmental services (PES) schemes as a means to help reduce poverty and contribute to green growth by addressing market failures to properly value environmental services. PES schemes are based on environmental service ‘users’ rewarding or compensating ‘providers’ of those environmental services, for example hydropower companies paying local forest communities who protect watershed areas important to hydropower generation. In the GMS, where rapid economic growth continues to be underpinned by environmental services and where rural, poor populations – custodians of many of these services – are extensive and widespread, PES is a particularly important approach for poverty reduction and green growth. Since 2011, Viet Nam has been implementing a national payments for forest environmental services (PFES) scheme that has mobilized hundreds of thousands of households to protect and manage more than 5 million hectares of forest land. More than $230 million has been disbursed to participating households in 40 provinces so far and the socioeconomic and conservation benefits have been well-regarded. In 2014, the Core Environment Progam began support to the Government of Viet Nam to evolve and strengthen its maturing PFES system. With the Ministry of Agricultural Development and the Center for International Forestry Research, CEP supported a review of the country's PFES policy and three-years of implementation. One of the key outcomes of the review was the need for a systematic monitoring and evaluation approach for PFES. The following year, CEP commissioned a technical review of current PFES monitoring and evaluation which overviewed the key components, information needs, and roles and responsibilities for systematic M&E. In 2017, using the technical review as a basis, CEP contracted the World Wide Fund for Nature to develop and test a M&E framework in Quang Nam and Thua Thien Hue provinces. The framework will focus on tracking socioeconomic and conservation outcomes as well as the operational performance of the PFES system.The results of the work will be a proposed national PFES M&E framework for the country. |Technical Review PFES Monitoring and Evaluation Viet Nam.pdf||633 KB||09-02-2017| |Inception Report-PFES Viet Nam - WWF.pdf||525 KB||17-02-2017| Publish Date: 6th November 2014 Last Updated: 3rd July 2017 Back to Online Library
T- or Y-shaped uterus It is the condition that the uterine cavity, which is normally triangular in shape, is in the form of a cylindrical tube and there is a bulging towards the uterine cavity on both side and upper walls. Since the uterine tissue is unable to thicken enough, this condition especially leads to implantation failures (attachment of the embryo to the uterus). It may lead to complications as given below: - Recurrent failures of implantation - Abortion in the early period of pregnancy - Recurrent pregnancy losses - Fetal developmental delay - Positional anomalies in the fetus - Premature birth - The upper and lateral walls of the uterus are expanded hysteroscopically. - Intrauterine device application for 1 month - Balloon application - Hormonal treatment
In Mike Judge’s brilliant 2006 satirical science-fiction comedy, “Idiocracy,” viewers are subjected to a terrifying dystopia: America, circa 2505, after the intelligent people have become extinct. In this post-apocalyptic society, our accidental time-traveler protagonist finds himself the smartest man in America and eventually delivers a frightening-yet-moving speech to the World Wrestling Federation-like U.S. Congress in which he laments that once upon a time, reading and writing were common. “People wrote books and movies, movies that had stories so you cared ... and I believe that time can come again!” Anyone who loved this movie because they fear it could be a prediction of our dark future had to cringe last week when the National Assessment of Educational Progress released its 2011 Nation’s Report Card on writing. Just 24 percent of students in the eighth and 12th grades performed at the proficient level in writing, meaning that they demonstrated a clear understanding of the writing task they’d been assigned, organized their thoughts effectively, and provided details and elaboration that supported and developed the main idea of their piece. On the bright side, I suppose, the majority of students tested fell into the basic category — 54 percent of eighth-graders and 52 percent of 12th-graders — which means they were able to persuade, explain or convey experience coherently and with substantial knowledge of the basic mechanics of writing, though with errors that don’t generally impede meaning. I don’t have enough space to bore you with a laundry list of the many ways society in general (rampant misspellings in product names and advertisements), families (who inadvertently provide children with language-poor environments) and schools (which let instructors teach writing in many different ways) keep students from learning to write effectively. But I think it comes down to much the same reason we have a nation of poor readers, and underperforming math, science and history students: These subjects are hard and no one likes hard work anymore. Though we pay lip service to working hard, most students are subtlety taught to avoid it. We drill kids with the idea learning should be fun and show them videos so they don’t have to trudge through texts to understand meanings of challenging concepts. We teach them the language of inability by assuring them if they are being challenged by a difficult reading passage, it must be because they are “visual learners,” or if they don’t like tackling tasks on their own they must be “social learners.” Teacher preparation programs spend more time showing future teachers how to nurture and accommodate than how to make students into high performers. But though I already fear for a country where the most important thing in the average person’s life is to interact with electronic gadgets that emphasize images and make it nearly impossible to type words — much less sentences — correctly, there is a sliver of hope. The 24 percent of eighth- and 12th-graders who can write proficiently — plus the 3 percent who are “advanced” — will be the rock stars of their generation. Their hard-earned mastery of the arduous written communication of English will be rewarded as they become as sought out and well-compensated as doctors, computer gurus and scientists are today. In this utopia, they’ll somehow inspire future generations to work hard to write well, too.

Social media is penetrating and changing our world–and it’s happening fast. For me, it seems totally normal. Facebook became popular when I was in high school. Technically, you have to be thirteen to have a Facebook. After talking with students this week, I’d say about 70% of our students at Sylvester have Facebook accounts. They felt no guilt over sharing this with me. If you’re a parent or a teacher, you may find this link helpful. It is not ILLEGAL for a child under the age of thirteen to have a Facebook account, but it IS in violation of their Statement of Rights and Responsibilities. Facebook would rather be informed of this misconduct my the child’s parents, however. They suggest that parents show their kids how to disable their accounts. Onto a more positive note about social media. It can actually be quite helpful, when used appropriately. Book publishers and authors use Facebook to reach out to their readers; in turn, readers use it to keep up-to-date on their favorite books. Publishers and authors have the right idea, using Facebook to push boundaries and engage their audiences. Here’s an interesting quote from LMC (Library Media Connection) Magazine: “Reading requires the reader to be actively engaged in making meaning from the text. Technology with social media allows entirely new possibilities for creating and sharing these meanings.” Come to the library to read the full article. Furthermore, it’s important to remember that students (we hope they are middle or high school students) who use social media are actively engaged in text and multimedia. They are learned to process information on a whole new level! That’s why I’ve included a widget for Goodreads on the left hand side of this website. Goodreads is another form of social media–but for books. It’s a way to share what you are reading with you friends. You can create a profile, participate in a discussion, and rate the books you’ve read. I highly recommend this for students and teachers. It’s informative, but it’s also fun! On a parting note, another quote from LMC: “We can look at new technologies as competition for the time and attention of young people, or we can look for way to harness these technologies to put more ‘books’ in the hands of more readers.”
Moses's blessing has little in common with the rest of Deuteronomy and was probably composed independently of Deuteronomy. Its psalmodic style suggests that it originally had a litur-gical function and was perhaps recited at a festival at which all the tribes, or their representatives, gathered. Language and contents suggest that it was composed some time between Israel's settlement in the promised land ca. 1200 BCE and the exile of the northern tribes in 721 B.C.E. It must have been incorporated in Deuteronomy because it was attributed to Moses and, by looking back on a successful conquest of the promised land, foretells the conquest. As one of the last two chapters in the Torah, the blessing is read in the synagogue on Simhat Torah, the "Celebration of the Torah," the festival at which the annual cycle of reading the Torah is completed.

In Hawaiki, Houmaitawhiti and his sons Tamatekapua and Whakatūria became involved in a skirmish with the chief Uenuku, who was suffering from a boil. When Uenuku witnessed Houmaitawhiti’s pet dog Pōtaka Tawhiti eating his discarded bandage, he killed the dog and ate it. This was because according to traditional beliefs, the dog’s action was akin to eating Uenuku himself. In retaliation, Houmaitawhiti’s sons stole fruit from Uenuku’s tree. Warfare ensued. One son, Tamatekapua, looked to the sea’s horizon and decided it was time to leave. He built a canoe, chose a crew and sailed off, heading south of the setting sun. Houmaitawhiti, his father, stayed behind in Hawaiki. This carving is of Houmaitawhiti.

There are a lot of misconceptions about this vitamin. Get the facts about B-12. What is it? Less commonly known as “cobalamin” this water-soluble vitamin is almost always found in multi-vitamins and B-complex supplements. Unlike most other water-soluble vitaminss, B-12 requires stomach acid for absorption. It’s also stored within the body for many years, unlike others like riboflavin and thiamin that are quickly passed in the urine. Why is it good for you? Your body needs B-12 to help form DNA, to build your nervous system and keep red blood cells healthy. Since the body likes to store B-12, large amounts of supplements are often not necessary – there’s just one catch. B-12 is mostly found in animal products, so folks that follow a long-term vegan diet might need to consider a daily supplement. Since you need stomach acid for absorption, your ability to break it down decreases with age. Folks who take a lots of antacids will also need to up their intake to make sure they’re getting enough. Where can you find it? The daily requirement for B-12 is 6 micrograms per day and it can be found in all kinds of foods including daily, meat, fish, eggs and fortified breakfast cereals. 3-ounces cooked clams = 84 micrograms (1400%) 3-ounces cooked salmon = 5 micrograms (83%) 1 cup fortified cereal (such as bran flakes ) = 1.5 milligrams (25%) 1 cup low fat (1%) milk = 1.2 micrograms (20%) 1 ounce Swiss cheese = 0.9 micrograms (15%) 1 large egg 0.6 micrograms (10%) 3-ounces cooked turkey breast = 0.3 micrograms (5%)
Birders in the U.K. have hatched an oddball scheme to make use of the insect remains that accumulate on cars in summer. The Royal Society for the Protection of Birds is conducting pilot tests on equipping windshields with "splatometers" to estimate declining insect numbers. The society's Mark Avery says the group has been puzzling over Britain's plummeting bird populations, and many of its million-plus members have suggested that the problem may be related to an apparent decline in the flies, aphids, moths, and other insects that birds feed on. So the society wants bird lovers to attach postcard-sized plastic patches to their windshields or license plates to collect representative samples of battered insects. After 80 kilometers or so, the driver would rip off the patch, cover it with plastic to form a bug sandwich, and send it in for analysis. Society workers are adapting scanners and computers to tally the results. The data would provide a bug-death baseline for the future, says Avery, and could reveal regional variations linked to urbanization and type of agriculture. Distinguishing squashed species will be practically impossible, notes entomologist Clare Hughes of the University of York. But splatometers could nonetheless help contribute to the bigger picture of insect declines. More about the experiment
Do teachers really know what students go through? To find out, one teacher followed two students for two days and was amazed at what she found. Her report is in following post, which appeared on the blog of Grant Wiggins, the co-author of “Understanding by Design” and the author of “Educative Assessment” and numerous articles on education. A high school teacher for 14 years, he is now the president of Authentic Education, in Hopewell, New Jersey, which provides professional development and other services to schools aimed at improving student learning.

For years scientists searched fruitlessly for the causes of autism by looking for genes shared by families prone to the disorder. Now researchers taking a new approach have begun to unlock its secrets. Complex Operational Decision Making in Networked Systems of Humans and Machines: A Multidisciplinary Approach explores the possibilities for better decision making through collaboration between humans and computers. ... Two great trends are evident in the evolution of life on Earth: towards increasing diversification and towards increasing integration. Diversification has spread living processes across the planet, progressively increasing the range of environments and free energy sources exploited by life. Integration has proceeded through a stepwise process in which living entities at one level are integrated into cooperative groups that become larger-scale entities at the next level, and so on, producing cooperative organizations of increasing scale (for example, cooperative groups of simple cells gave rise to the more complex eukaryote cells, groups of these gave rise to multi-cellular organisms, and cooperative groups of these organisms produced animal societies). The trend towards increasing integration has continued during human evolution with the progressive increase in the scale of human groups and societies. The trends towards increasing diversification and integration are both driven by selection. An understanding of the trajectory and causal drivers of the trends suggests that they are likely to culminate in the emergence of a global entity. This entity would emerge from the integration of the living processes, matter, energy and technology of the planet into a global cooperative organization. Such an integration of the results of previous diversifications would enable the global entity to exploit the widest possible range of resources across the varied circumstances of the planet. This paper demonstrates that it's case for directionality meets the tests and criticisms that have proven fatal to previous claims for directionality in evolution.

"In his introduction to this useful site, psychology professor Jon Mueller presents two arguments. First, he claims that our current educational system fails to teach the need for critical skills for success in the 21st century. Second, he posits that the reason for this is, at least partially, due to confusion about how to assess those skills. The website is an answer to that confusion. Here educators will find Mueller's program of Authentic Assessment. Readers may like to begin with the first three sections of the site, "What is it?," "Why do it?," and "How do you do it," before moving onto sections that explain such topics as Standards, Rubrics, and Tasks. Throughout the site, Mueller makes a genuine attempt to provide both a philosophical backdrop for his assessment techniques and the sorts of down-to-earth tools that educators can easily use in their classrooms."

La plupart de ces migrations de valeur sont liées à des mécanismes d’intermédiation et à Internet, comme avec Amazon dans le commerce, Google dans la publicité, Netflix dans la vidéo et plus récemment Uber face aux taxis. On utilise maintenant le barbarisme de l’Uberisation pour décrire une migration de valeur liée à l’intermédiation de services... Over the last two decades, computers have become omnipresent in daily life. Their increased power and accessibility have enabled the accumulation, organization, and analysis of massive amounts of data. These data, in turn, have been transformed into practical knowledge that can be applied to simple and complex decision making alike. In many of today's activities, decision making is no longer an exclusively human endeavor. In both virtual and real ways, technology has vastly extended people's range of movement, speed and access to massive amounts of data. Consequently, the scope of complex decisions that human beings are capable of making has greatly expanded. At the same time, some of these technologies have also complicated the decision making process. The potential for changes to complex decision making is particularly significant now, as advances in software, memory storage and access to large amounts of multimodal data have dramatically increased. Increasingly, our decision making process integrates input from human judgment, computing results and assistance, and networks. Human beings do not have the ability to analyze the vast quantities of computer-generated or -mediated data that are now available. How might humans and computers team up to turn data into reliable (and when necessary, speedy) decisions? Complex Operational Decision Making in Networked Systems of Humans and Machines explores the possibilities for better decision making through collaboration between humans and computers. This study is situated around the essence of decision making; the vast amounts of data that have become available as the basis for complex decision making; and the nature of collaboration that is possible between humans and machines in the process of making complex decisions. This report discusses the research goals and relevant milestones in several enabling subfields as they relate to enhanced human-machine collaboration for complex decision making; the relevant impediments and systems-integration challenges that are preventing technological breakthroughs in these subfields; and a sense of the research that is occurring in university, government and industrial labs outside of the United States, and the implications of this research for U.S. policy. The development of human-machine collaboration for complex decision making is still in its infancy relative to where cross-disciplinary research could take it over the next generation. Complex Operational Decision Making explores challenges to progress, impediments to achieving technological breakthroughs, opportunities, and key research goals. Luciano Lampi's insight: what decision making has in common with divinatory arts? While the concept of air launch seems compelling, such systems have failed to have much effect on the overall launch market. Jeff Foust reports on two different air launch ventures, one by DARPA and one funded by Paul Allen, attacking the air launch idea from two very different directions. Absolutely the best thing to read on the corporate hype and innuendos from the big computer companies pedalling the idea of ‘the smart city’. Adam Greenfield’s new book – that you can only get on Kindle and which was my first Kindle purchase that I read on my iPad (a success I must say) – is a wonderful and eloquent essay on the extreme hype surrounding the top down new town-like smart cities of Songdo (in South Korea), Masdar (in the UAE), PlanIT Valley (near Paredes in Portugal). He also comments on Singapore, Rio de Janeiro and some of the other established cities who are injecting automation into their urban services and other functions from the top down. His message is that most of the smart cities hype associated with IBM, Cisco, and Siemens amongst others which he recounts in detail is based on the most simplistic of notions as to what a city actually is.

Space theorist posits unusual life on Mars / '2nd genesis' on Red Planet Published 4:00 am, Thursday, September 4, 2003 2003-09-04 04:00:00 PDT Monterey -- The planet Mars may well have been the scene of the solar system's "second genesis," where forms of life vastly different from Earth's emerged deep beneath the Martian surface billions of years ago, a leading space scientist proposed Wednesday. Christopher McKay, of NASA Ames Research Center in Mountain View, said that life on early Mars might have been based on DNA, genes and proteins unlike anything found on Earth. If true, it would signal that life should be possible throughout the solar system in forms hitherto inconceivable to Earth-bound scientists, McKay suggested. It would mark a true revolution in what has been largely an Earth- centered view of life's unique genes and forms, he said. McKay posed his second genesis concept at a meeting in Monterey of the American Astronomical Society's Division for Planetary Sciences, where international researchers are describing their latest findings from dozens of unmanned space probes that have visited virtually all the solar system's planets and their satellites. Encouraging McKay to elaborate on his theory, David Des Marais of Ames posed a serious question to the planetary scientists at the meeting: "Can life arise anywhere there's a 'nourishing' environment?" he asked. "Does our Earth's biosphere represent only a subset of all possible environments, so that life might exist in a full diversity of biospheres?" Des Marais and McKay are both members of NASA's Astrobiology Institute. McKay began his career as an astrophysicist, then moved into biology, while Des Marais combines the disciplines of geology, chemistry and biology. In what he described as his "mission to early Earth," Des Marais said research made it likely that water must have first rained down on the new- forming Earth from comets and meteors as much as 4.9 billion years ago and that more massive impacts later brought down organic chemicals within another billion years. "Proto-cells" then began to form on the warming Earth. And finally, by 3.7 billion years ago, in a warm and wet Earth, the first life appeared in the form of biological films and layers of microbial mats that have left their fossil forms to be discovered only in recent years, he said. But that all took place on an Earth that was growing warmer and wetter over the eons. In contrast, Mars might not have been like that at all, McKay acknowledged. "A very cold Mars is by no means an uninteresting place for life to begin," he said, adding that life would have had to have started in a fashion entirely different from life on Earth. Ever since the exploration of Mars by spacecraft began more than 40 years ago, most scientists have insisted that, in its early days, Mars must have been a "warm and wet" planet -- at one time, perhaps, similar to Earth -- if it was ever to support life. A consensus is now growing among planetary specialists, however, that except for brief early periods more than 4 billion years ago when gigantic meteors might have heated the Martian surface and melted subsurface waters, the Red Planet has always been a cold and icy object, according to Philip Christensen of Arizona State University. Christensen is the principal investigator of a mineral-detecting, infrared instrument called THEMIS aboard the Mars Odyssey spacecraft now orbiting the planet. It has shown no evidence that Mars ever had large oceans or long- standing open bodies of liquid water where minerals like hematite or carbonates would have formed, he said. But McKay pointed out that in Antarctica, liquid water -- the first prerequisite for life -- is abundant beneath seemingly solid lakes of ice and that living microbes have been found in these icy reservoirs. So Mars, despite its ice at the poles, must surely have retained quantities of liquid water deep beneath the surface, he insisted. "Ice on Mars, with the water beneath it, is a huge empty niche for life to form in totally new ways," McKay said. "What we need to do in future Mars missions is to drill beneath the permafrost, beneath the frozen sediments and find a totally different watery niche -- cold gazpacho instead of warm chicken soup. "Instead of hunting for fossils in the rocks of Mars, we should be looking for corpses in the cold water -- bodies that started out as entirely different forms of life. It would tell us immediately that genesis is easy everywhere."
How is it that so many people who didn’t go to “Ivy League” colleges manage to be very successful? And how do some “average” students manage to be more well-rounded and successful than overachievers? The answers can be found in the “soft skills.” In today’s dynamic world, the ability to interact well with others, to be flexible and adaptable, and to have common sense are more important than ever. To me, it doesn’t matter how “smart” you are if you can’t get along with people. And if you somehow manage to be successful without getting along with people, then you’re probably lonely or alone. My son has a photographic memory for spelling words, and does very well in school with minimal effort. Sadly, he has inherited my coordination (or lack thereof), so athletic endeavors are more of a challenge. He struggles to understand how people can dance without effort when he cannot. At an early age, he sees that being talented academically is not a panacea for “fitting in” or cruising through life. Over the years, I’ve interacted with adults and teens who didn’t “work” in our milieu setting at Teen Line. Their social skills or inability to work collaboratively conspired against them. Interpersonal skills are not just something you can study for and “ace:” for some, they come innately, for others, they require practice and effort. I recently read an article on how “C” students are more successful after graduation. One reason is that they know how to leverage other’s abilities. They are not afraid to admit they don’t have all the answers, and can surround themselves with those who do, freeing them to dream and create. Can you imagine the pressure so many of us would feel lifted if we didn’t have to “know everything?” I had a startling realization the other day that my children will never have to go through the awkwardness (at least for me) of calling a friend’s house and having to make small talk with their parents while waiting for the friend to come to the phone. Online food ordering (which I personally think is the greatest thing ever) unfortunately takes away the opportunity to learn patience and how to communicate clearly. Google (which I use multiple times a day) has reduced our need to problem solve and creatively look for answers. We need to promote and teach the “soft skills,” both at home and in school. Make sure our teens know how to have a conversation IRL. Promote teamwork and collaboration within your family, as well as role modeling compromise. Understand there are different types of intelligence, including emotional and creative, and we need these as much as the academic. And most importantly, let’s not just measure success by ACT scores and GPA. Let’s look at the bigger picture of who a teen is.Leave a Comment ›
Definition of Heart Failure Heart failure means your heart muscle does not pump as much blood as your body needs. Failure does not mean that your heart has stopped. It means that your heart is not pumping as well as it should. Because your heart cannot pump well, your body tries to make up for it. To do this: - Your body holds on to salt and water. This increases the amount of blood in your bloodstream. - Your heart beats faster. - Your heart becomes enlarged. Core Measures for Heart Failure Core Measures indicate how many patients at Southeast Georgia Health System receive treatments commonly regarded as effective in treating heart failure. We compare our scores to other facilities at the national and state level. Heart Failure Indicators |Number of records reviewed for these indicators during time period||---||---||NA||NA| |Evaluation of Left Ventricular Function (measure retired Dec 2014)||---||---||100.0%||99.0%| |ACE Inhibitor or ARB for Left Ventricular Systolic Dysfunction (measure retired Dec 2014)||---||---||97.0%||97.0%| Evaluation of Left Ventricular Function-This score shows the percentage of patients who had the left side of their heart assessed during their hospital stay. The left side of the heart is where the main pumping chamber is located. By assessing it, doctors can tell how well it is pumping and what type of treatment is needed. ACE Inhibitor or ARB for Left Ventricular Systolic Dysfunction-Angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors or angiotensin receptor blockers (ARBs) are drugs that are especially helpful for people with damage on the left side of their heart (left ventricular systolic dysfunction). Both ACE inhibitors and ARBs can help reduce the risk of death after a heart attack by lowering blood pressure. This score shows the percentage of people with left ventricular systolic dysfunction who were prescribed ACE inhibitors or ARBs when they were discharged.
Step 1 is one of the hardest steps for those with anxiety. Step 1 is one someone realizes they have a problem and asks for help. And for those who walk alongside the lost, this is when you find out that your friend or sister or brother or parent or child or whoever is struggling with anxiety, or really any mental illness for that matter. Step 1 is hard for them, because it requires a lot of vulnerability, honesty, and trust. If they are talking to you, it means they have a lot of trust in you, and if you stop listening, it might just be the thing that crushes them. Step 1 is also hard for you, because it goes a lot better if you can relate, or at least understand. As a human, you have probably had at least one panic attack in your life. You might have frozen up during a test and couldn’t think. You might have gotten so nervous during a speech that you felt like the walls were closing in on you. But maybe you can’t remember one. And that is ok. You can still help. You have most likely been afraid of something several times in your life. Now imagine all the fear you have had throughout your life pushed into a 20-30 minute time period. Now imagine that those feelings continue 24/7 to a slightly lesser degree. That’s the basics of a panic attack, but it can be a bit more complex than that. It can involve other symptoms that vary from person to person. Listen so you know what your friend’s anxiety feels like to them. Here are some important things to remember: - Listen and just be there. This is the single most important thing to do, especially when you can’t relate and don’t really understand. Sit there and allow them to cry or talk or scream. Give them a hug or let them squeeze your hands or just sit there. At first, you have to let them lead, until you learn how to best help them. I’ll go into more detail with this in a later post. - Be patient. They may have even been unintentionally dishonest with themselves for years. Even if they were aware that they were suppressing things, they probably did not realize how much they were hiding. Even if they were honest with themselves, telling you might be their first step toward healing. - Fears that seem irrational to you seem completely logical to them, especially during a panic attack. A panic attack can be based off of seemingly the most ridiculous thing. Don’t laugh or tell them they are crazy. It’s serious to them. The best way to help anyone with anxiety is to listen and be there. Your actions speak louder than words, so sit, listen, and just be a faithful presence. Jesus knows them and their anxiety better than you ever will, because He created them. He will you the strength to help them and them the strength to continue their fight.
What's your limit? Calculate now → Decaffeinated Tea refers to black or green tea that has had most of its natural caffeine removed. It's important to note that decaffeinated does not mean "caffeine-free". There is still a small amount of caffeine in most decaffeinated teas unless the product is highly processed. Decaffeinated Black Tea can contain about 4-6 mg of caffeine per tea bag (2 grams) Decaffeinated Green Tea can contain about 2-4 mg of caffeine per tea bag (2 grams). Tea quality and steep time will also influence the amount of caffeine in decaffeinated tea. In 2007 The Journal of Food Science independently tested Stash Premium Decaffeinated Green Tea and found that it contained 7.6 mg of caffeine per 2 grams of tea leaves. However the USDA database lists 2.4 mg caffeine for an 8 fl oz cup of decaf black tea Ingredients in Tea (Decaf)Leaves From The Camellia Sinensis Plant Is Tea (Decaf) high in caffeine? Tea (Decaf) contains 4 mg of caffeine in a 8 fl oz cup. This equates to 0.50 mg of caffeine for every fl oz and 1.69 mg for every 100 ml.
This ink-on-paper sketch of Einstein (courtesy: Sigrid Freundorfer Fine Art LLC; click to view large) will go on public display for the first time tomorrow as part of an art show in New York City. It is the handiwork of Josef Scharl, a German artist who produced the work in 1950 while visiting his close friend Albert Einstein at Princeton University in the US. Born in Munich in 1896, Scharl gained recognition in his time after being part of the “New Munich Secession” artists in the 1920s. He won various awards including the Albrecht Dürer Award from the city of Nuremberg, and the Prix-de-Rome. But Scharl was a vocal critic of the Nazi Party and by 1935 he was considered a “degenerate artist” and banned from painting. Einstein, who by this time was already working at the Institute for Advanced Study at Princeton, had met Scharl in 1927 in Berlin at the house of photographer Lotte Jacobi. Upon learning of the fate of his friend, Einstein offered to sponsor Scharl’s immigration to the US, which the artist accepted. Once in the States, Scharl used to visit Einstein regularly and when the artist passed away in 1954 Einstein wrote the eulogy that was read at the funeral. “Scharl was an outspoken man, not shy with his opinions, often rather witty. Einstein appreciated Scharl’s candor and views on this or that, and their conversations were lively and informative for both,” says Sigrid Freundorfer, the fine-art dealer based in New York who owns the drawing. “It must have been refreshing for Einstein to have had somebody like Scharl to talk to once in a while, in German at that.” Freundorfer bought the painting last year from someone in the field of manuscripts and rare books “Being an art dealer, I bought it first as a magnificent drawing by Josef Scharl, depicting this great man Einstein, signed by both men,” she said. The image will go on sale at the Master Drawings New York exhibition, which runs 26 January – 2 February and has a preview show on 25 January.
Indian monastery aids Tibetan monks facing crackdown The Kirti Monastery in Dharamsala, an Indian hill town home to thousands of exiled Tibetans, has become a crisis center for the turmoil at its sister monastery under lockdown in Sichuan, China. But the serene image belies the crisis response management happening inside, where two monks work all hours to gather news from Tibetan monks they say are under government lockdown across the border in China. Buddhist monasteries are not normally crisis communications centers, but Kirti has assumed that role in an effort to aid the monks at its Tibetan sister monastery of the same name in southwest China. The ad hoc effort at the monastery in India shows how technology and savvy on the part of a few can circumvent China’s stringent communications clampdowns. Nevertheless, “uncensored communication links from Kirti are fragile, discrete, and under constant threat of surveillance and disruption by Chinese government authorities and security forces,” says Phelim Kine, senior Asia researcher at New York-based Human Rights Watch. On March 16, just after the 52nd anniversary of Tibet’s failed uprising against China in 1959, a young monk from Kirti Monastery in Amdo Ngaba, a Tibetan district of Sichuan, set himself on fire as a form of protest. Shortly after the monk’s death, Chinese placed the Amdo Ngaba monastery and its approximately 2,500 monks on lockdown. Nearly four months later reports indicate that conditions remain tense. The repression in Amdo Ngaba is so severe that in April the Dalai Lama, who relinquished his political role that same month, said in a statement: “I am very concerned that this situation if allowed to go on may become explosive with catastrophic consequences for the Tibetans in Ngaba.” According to the monks in India, about 300 monks were taken away by Chinese authorities in April. Classes and prayers have stopped and remaining monks were forced to take “patriotic re-education” classes. Some 400 government officials are camped out at the monastery in China, said the International Campaign for Tibet, a US-based advocacy group. Cameras and recording devices are positioned throughout. Phone calls and e-mail from Kirti Monastery in China are monitored by Chinese authorities who can detain or arrest people they deem a threat to China's control over Tibet. Though China has not officially acknowledged the lockdown, Chinese police claim the self-immolation of the young monk who precipitated it “was a carefully planned and implemented criminal case, aimed at triggering disturbances,” according to Xinhua, China’s state news agency. To quash other potential disturbances, Chinese police arrested hundreds of monks although there were no displays of violence after the self-immolation. Local residents surrounded the monastery in Amdo Ngaba in an attempt to protect monks from being detained but were allegedly beaten by Chinese forces and attacked by police dogs. Two elderly Tibetans reportedly died in the clash. Enter the monastery in India Information about arrests, beatings, protests, surveillance, and police activity were conveyed along a circuitous network from Tibetan locals in China to Tibetans living in neighboring India, home to nearly 100,000 exiles. News was passed along among Tibetans via clandestine phone calls, e-mails, and digital photos until it reached the Dharamsala branch of Kirti Monastery. After the first piece of information made its way to them, Losang Yeshe and Kanyag Tsering, two monks at Kirti Monastery in India, became the de facto crisis communications team. They are in charge of the grim task of organizing detailed lists of arrested monks, trying to confirm names of Tibetan civilians beaten or detained while protecting monks, and liaising with human rights organizations and the media via regular e-mail updates and interviews. Mr. Yeshe and Mr. Tsering both say they would prefer to do their prayers, attend classes, and study religious teachings. But with Kirti Monastery in crisis, the Tibetans fear for the well-being of monks and locals there. “We have no choice but to disseminate this knowledge,” says Tsering through an English interpreter. In Tibet, monasteries are esteemed institutions of Buddhist knowledge and culture. The one under crackdown in Amdo Ngaba was established in 1870 and is one of the largest monasteries on the Tibetan plateau. Now, its future appears threatened by the lockdown. Major monasteries in Tibet once housed thousands of monks. But because of restrictions over the decades, numbers at some monasteries have dwindled to hundreds, whereas sister monasteries flourishing in India house thousands of monks today. Tibetans “fear that Chinese authorities are now seeking to weaken Kirti significantly through this systematic campaign,” according to a statement from the International Campaign for Tibet. Confirming the information the monks give them takes weeks, but Human Rights Watch says their reports are accurate. A spokesman for the Chinese Foreign Ministry denied illegal detainment of monks and said that the monks at the monastery “enjoy a normal life and normal Buddhist activities.” However, foreign journalists and tourists are barred from traveling to the monastery in Amdo Ngaba and nearby areas. Human Rights Watch raised concerns about the crackdown, noting that it is part of a series of arrests and disappearances in recent months of dozens of China’s human rights advocates, lawyers, Internet activists, and those who assert Tibetan national identity openly. And in June the UN Working Group on Enforced or Involuntary Disappearances expressed “serious concern” about the wave of alleged enforced disappearances in China in the past few months, including of monks in the Tibet region. “Enforced disappearance is a crime under international law. Even short-term secret detentions can qualify as enforced disappearances,” the UN group said.
Nuts have been eaten and enjoyed for thousands of years. They are used in everything from spreads and snacks to desserts and entrees alike! While nuts are certainly very versatile, they also have hidden health benefits that can significantly impact your life! Fiber, healthy fats, protein, and other nutrients are packed into a wide variety of nuts, and we want to take some time to tell you about them. Who would have thought such a small package could hold so many good things? Weaver Nut Company has dealt in the business of wholesale nuts for over four decades. As a bulk nut supplier, we know a thing or two about nuts, and we want to share some information about the health benefits of your favorite nuts. Check out our list below, and then look through our entire inventory of nut products right here! 1. Brazil Nuts Brazil nuts are a great source of vitamins and minerals, including vitamin E, magnesium, and selenium. Selenium, in particular, acts as an antioxidant and is a nutrient that your body uses to help your thyroid produce hormones. Brazil nuts can also aid in regulating blood pressure and energy production. Hazelnuts have become more popular over time, and for good reason! But did you know that they can helpwith your cholesterol? Hazelnuts may help reduce bad cholesterol, which contributes to heart disease. Hazelnuts also have caffeic acid, epicatechin, quercetin, and gallic acid, which have anti-inflammatory effects! Pecans are used in everything from cakes and pies to salads. These versatile nuts can be used in savory or sweet dishes and snacks. And like other nuts, they’re good for you, too! Pecans are rich in healthy fats, vitamins, and minerals like zinc. Zinc has been shown to help with immune function, growth, development, and wound healing. On average, one ounce of walnuts contains four grams of protein and two grams of fiber. Walnuts can lower triglyceride levels and reduce your risk of heart disease. But perhaps the most impressive health benefit of walnuts is that they are loaded with copper. Your body uses copper to help with brain function and can even fend off dementia! Almonds are one of the most popular nuts on the market today. Like many nuts, they can be eaten raw or roasted. They are one of the most versatile nuts used to make nut butter, flour, and milk alternatives. Almonds are rich in vitamin E and fiber, and are often used to promote gut health! Of course, we had to end our list with the most ubiquitous and iconic item on our list. Peanuts! Peanuts are not actually nuts and technically belong in the legume family, but they’re often lumped in with nuts because they share so many similarities. Even though they’re not technically nuts, peanuts have various health benefits, too! They’re a great source of protein and fiber, as well as being rich in folate. Folate is a type of vitamin B that place a crucial role during pregnancy by aiding fetal and placental development. Did your favorite nut make the list? Whatever your favorite nut is, there are probably hidden health benefits you did not know about. We are sure to have your favorite nut in our inventory and can help you find some new favorites too!

GOAL 11: Make cities and human settlements inclusive, safe, resilient and sustainable SDG Progress and Industry Notes The 2017 Report of the Secretary-General on Progress towards the Sustainable Development Goals, notes that “[i]n recent decades, the world has experienced unprecedented urban growth. In 2015, close to 4 billion people — 54 per cent of the world’s population — lived in cities and that number is projected to increase to about 5 billion people by 2030. Rapid urbanization has brought enormous challenges, including growing numbers of slum dwellers, increased air pollution, inadequate basic services and infrastructure, and unplanned urban sprawl, which also make cities more vulnerable to disasters. Better urban planning and management are needed to make the world’s urban spaces more inclusive, safe, resilient and sustainable. As of May 2017, 149 countries were developing national-level urban policies.” Goal 11 will be reviewed during the 2018 HLPF. Sustainable cities are important for sustainable development and for business operations but for market growth for the Apparel sector. The upside to investing in sustainable cities was summarized by the Business and Sustainable Development Commission: “Business opportunities in the implementation of the SDGs related to cities could be worth over $3.7 trillion annually for the private sector by 2030. Investment required to achieve these opportunities is approximately $2.5 trillion per year. -These 16 opportunities could also generate almost 170 million jobs by 2030, which represents around 5 percent of the forecasted labour force. -More than half of the value of the opportunities, and over 85 percent of the potential job creation, is located in developing countries. That includes roughly 49 million jobs in China, 32 million jobs in Africa and 22 million jobs in India.” “By 2030, two thirds of the world will live in cities. The world’s 12 largest city areas are each home to over 15 million people, and over the last 25 years, cities such as Delhi, Shanghai and Beijing have tripled in size. A vision for cities has never been more important than it is today. More than half of the world’s inhabitants live in cities and this migration trend is expected to continue. By 2050 more than two-thirds of the world will be urban dwellers. India alone is expected to double the number of city dwellers by adding 404 million new people to cities over the next 35 years…Therefore, it will be under the auspices of cities where we will succeed or fail in achieving our goals of poverty eradication, equality, climate change reduction, and ensuring healthy lives. It will be the cities that determine if we achieve inclusive economic growth or yield to greater inequality. It is in cities where people will seek opportunities for higher education and employment. And, it will be cities that determine if we will continue our steadily increasing usage of the world’s resources or if we can realize a more sustainable path.” UN Chronicle
On 10 November 2009, a local news crew were at a road-side site investigating a previous rock slide. Strange popping sounds on the cliff face were heard as small fragments of rock started to bounce down the slope. Luckily, there was a geologist on site, who recognised this as a sign that another landslide might happen, and she moved everybody out of the way. The camera man just stood with his camera and recorded this amazing footage of a rock slide event. This rock is made up of thin layers that dip towards the road that has cut through this mountain side. As water seeps through weak spots (bedding or cleavage planes), the rock loses strength and the rocks slide. On 15 Feb 2010, the side of a hillslope slipped past people whilst they stood and watched. A landslide had happened here before and geologists had seen signs that it would move again so people were evacuated and no one was hurt. Gravity constantly tugs downward on a slope, but only when gravity's force exceeds the strength of the rocks, soils, and sediments making up the slope does land begin to slide down hill. Heavy rainfall in the Maierato region is likely to have started this slide. On 18 June 1972, near 14 Po Shan Road approximately 40 000 m3 of debris travelled some 270 m down slope and resulted in 67 deaths, 20 injuries, two buildings destroyed and one building severely damaged. A construction site above the major part of the landslide was being redeveloped at the time of the landslide. In late 1971 two landslides had occurred at the site. This landslide occurred over a few days. Work on the construction site above the road, together with the exceptionally heavy rainfall in early 1972, caused this landslide. About 1400 mm of rainfall was recorded between May and June 1972 and in particular more than 650 mm of rainfall was recorded from 16 to 18 June 1972 when the main landslide happened. On 29 April 1978 a landslide wiped away an area of 330 km2 (about the same as 47 football pitches) including 13 farms, two homes and the local community centre. The slide contained about 5 to 6 million m3 of material — about 2400 Olympic swimming pools — and was the biggest slide in Norway in this century. Of the 40 people caught in the slide area, only one person died. In this case the farmer dug a pit on his land and put the extra material on the edge of the lake. This extra weight was too much for the clay to cope with and so the landslide began. The slide started at the lake shoreline and developed backwards and landwards taking with it people, farms and homes. This type of landslide is rare and was caused by the special make-up of the clay material. Quick clay was laid down millions of years ago under the sea. Over the years, salt has been removed by water passing through it over time, leaving a clay crust with the salt-free marine clay underlying it. When the clay has too much weight loaded on to it the strength fails, and collapses. It then becomes 'remoulded' and acts like a liquid. Not only did the landslide travel backwards from the lake, it also caused great damage to the community of Leira when as a result of the clay sliding into the lake, a three-metre high floodwave reached the opposite bank of Lake Botnen shortly after the main slide. This is a huge landslide is thought to have occurred in prehistoric times, perhaps 10 300 years ago; an earthquake is the likely cause of this landslide. It is a good example of how a landslide can be studied and mapped through modern satellite imagery. It is known as the Saidmareh Landslide but is also sometimes called the Said Marreh, Seymareh or the Kubi Kuh Landslide. It is 5 km wide and the landslide material covered an area of 64 square miles (165 km2). It is thought that 20 km3 of material was moved 50 billion tonnes of rock were moved in a single event — or enough water to fill eight million Olympic swimming pools! The landslide blocked and dammed two rivers which meant that a pair of lakes formed. These have since drained leaving good soil for farming. The modern river has found a new channel through the landslide deposit. The landslide carried rocks a long way and large blocks of rock have been found as far as nine miles (14 km) from their starting point. The type of deposit left after the landslide occurred and the long distance these blocks travelled suggests that this was a landslide that happened at high speed also known as a rock avalanche or sturztrom.
The utilization of innovation in the classroom is a hot subject right at this point. Terms, for example, m-learning, e-learning, mixed taking in, the flipped classroom, and so forth are being utilized once a day. These trendy expressions are hurled around on Twitter and LinkedIn as progressive new answers for training challenges, however truly what is in all probability is that educators are truly intrigued by what they have been, which is to enhance their students ‘ understanding and maintenance of material being instructed. While innovation is not considered the foundation of the great learning environment, the times are changing as schools put resources into innovation like never before some time recently. This interest has brought about the making of items and administrations custom-worked for classrooms with the finished objective of utilizing innovation to upgrade the learning environment, as opposed to diverting from it. So by what means can Elvin siew chun wai influence innovation to serve the age-old test to expand understudy engagement? We’ve concocted a couple of tips are given interior and outside sources. Abbreviate lesson beginning time ‘Capitalize on class time’ is a general mantra for instructors, and which is all well and good. Practically speaking this implies beginning class on time and setting the desire for students that once the ringer rings, it’s an ideal opportunity to get the opportunity to work. However, as innovation turns out to be more predominant in the classroom, beginning goes up against another measurement that can challenge. In a late overview, we found that postponement because of specialized troubles is a major barricade to efficiency in the working environment, and we think the same is valid for innovation in the classroom. So while assessing classroom innovation, make certain the arrangement bolsters fast startup time and usability so as to get students ‘ consideration rapidly and keep it all through the class. Influence every one of those annoying cell phones and gadgets In any case, portable innovation is digging in for the long haul, and your students are going to bring their cell phones into the classroom. It can represent a test for instructors with a class loaded with Digital locals who spend truly hours on their telephones and tablets every day. These gadgets can without much of a stretch turn into a diversion – however, they don’t need to be. According to Elvin siew chun wai, Utilizing cell phones for teaching in the classroom can accomplish extremely positive results. In one study, more than 65% of students reacted that using their cell phones for scholarly purposes expanded correspondence with personnel and different students. In all actuality, students are exceptionally drawn into utilizing their cell phones, and that reality is unrealistic to change. In the classroom, cell phones can either be a diversion from the lesson substance or they can be utilized to build understudy engagement with the lesson material when those gadgets are used appropriately. Long story short, don’t battle a losing fight against each one of those tablets and cell phones; rather influence them in the classroom as utensils for more extensive engagement.
What are Diamond Sizes? Does diamond size and diamond carat mean the same thing? Diamond size and diamond carat do not mean the same thing, they are related but they are different measurements. Diamond size refers to the physical dimensions of a diamond, such as its length, width and depth. It's the way the diamond looks to the eye. Diamond carat, on the other hand, refers to the weight of the diamond. One carat is equal to 0.2 grams or 200 milligrams. So, a 1-carat diamond weighs 200 milligrams, 2-carat diamond weighs 400 milligrams and so on. A diamond of the same carat weight can have different size depending on its cut, the depth and table percentages, a diamond with a deeper depth will appear smaller than one with shallower depth. Therefore, it is important to consider both the carat weight and the physical dimensions of a diamond when evaluating its size. Does the carat weight affect the price of the diamond? The carat weight is one of the factors that can affect the price of a diamond. Generally, as the carat weight of a diamond increases, so does its price. This is because larger diamonds are more rare and therefore more valuable. However, it's worth noting that carat weight is not the only factor that affects the price of a diamond. Other factors such as cut, color, and clarity also play a role in determining the value of a diamond. A diamond with a high carat weight but poor cut, color, or clarity may not be as valuable as a diamond with a lower carat weight but better overall quality. Additionally, the shape of the diamond also plays a role, for example, fancy shape diamonds are typically cheaper than round ones in the same carat weight. The location of the diamond mine and the demand of the diamond in the market also affect the price. It's important to evaluate all of these factors together when determining the price of a diamond, and consider the overall value and beauty of the diamond, rather than just its carat weight. What diamond carat weight is best for an engagement ring? The best carat weight for an engagement ring is a matter of personal preference and budget. Some people prefer larger diamonds and are willing to pay more for a higher carat weight, while others prefer smaller diamonds or are working with a limited budget. A 1-carat diamond is a popular choice for an engagement ring, as it is large enough to make a statement but not so large that it becomes too expensive. A diamond of 0.5-carat is also a good choice for an engagement ring, it is smaller in size but it can be less expensive, and also can have better quality than a diamond of a higher carat weight. Ultimately, the best carat weight for an engagement ring is the one that fits your personal style, budget, and preferences. It's important to consider not just the carat weight but also the diamond's cut, color, and clarity when making your selection.
Definition of IX (Internet Exchange) It’s called IX (Internet Exchange), IXP (Internet Exchange Point) or DIX (Domestic Internet Exchange). IX refer to Internet traffic exchange between Domestic ISPs. IX networks is the Shared Internet Infrastructure that available for ISPs, International NSPs, Mobile Operators, CATV Operators, Internet Contents Providers to exchange their Internet Traffic with more neutrally, equally, efficiently and economically. Prevention of Finance in Cambodia from Overseas Outflow: - Without IXP, Internet traffics between local ISPs shall go to overseas first and then will return domestic again. This makes many problems like waste of overseas line costs, delayed communication, low stability and others. IXP can solve the problems. - ISP can share IXP’s overseas line without ISP’s independent connection with overseas network to save the costs remarkably and to overcome national waste factors. - The Internet traffic bandwidth between local ISP can be greatly improved to help develop Internet contents businesses, next generation Internet and telecommunication businesses in Cambodia. Saving of Integration Costs between ISP: Without IXP, multiple connections between multi-operators and between ISPs shall be needed to exchange traffics. But, with IXP, sole connection can be made by using IXP to save not only line cost but also administrative cost. - Not only high-speed Internet subscriber-oriented ISP but also contents-oriented ISP can directly exchange each other to minimize hop counts made by transit. - Minimum hop count can lessen latency time that may occur when Internet users download contents. - Internet customers of each ISP can experience higher Internet speed owing to low latency.

Discovering Timber-framed Buildings by Richard Harris Half-timbered houses, cottages and barnes are a familiar feature of the landscape, but only rarely do we have an opportunity to see below the surface and understand how they were planned and constructed. Timber-framed buildings catch the imagination of those who work with them because of their beauty, their strength and the quality of the material of which they were made: English oak. Many thousands of buildings of all ages still remain to remind us the strength of the tradition. This book looks behind the commong image of 'black and white' houses, showing how timber buildings were built and how they vary from region to region.
quick find clear Hoya is often called wax plant because its fragrant flower clusters are very waxy. It is a vining plant with thick leaves. Grow it on a trellis or topiary form, or allow it to cascade from a hanging basket. Hoya needs bright light to bloom well but will grow in medium light. It likes temperatures 55-75 degrees F.

Studies have shown significant value in moist wound healing as opposed to treatment of wounds in a dry environment, and clinical evidence has supported this view for many years. Moist wound healing has been shown to promote re-epithelialization and can result in a reduction of scar formation because a moist environment keeps new skin cells alive and promotes cell regrowth.1 Treatment of wounds in a moist environment additionally shows promise for the creation of a microenvironment conducive to regenerative healing without scar formation.2 For these reasons, clinicians often select dressings that will create and manage a moist wound environment. A decreased inflammatory response creates the possibility for a related decrease in scarring when wounds heal. Studies have shown that chronic wounds generally,3 and diabetic foot ulcers specifically,4 respond especially well to moist healing environments. In the case of chronic wounds, moist healing significantly enhances the rate of wound contraction, with regular assessments demonstrating the size of the wound area reducing over the course of 12 days. When a controlled, moist microenvironment is created, the wound surface acts as a highly permeable membrane. This microenvironment allows for several benefits over dry wound treatment. These benefits include: In addition to more precise monitoring of the foregoing factors, moist treatment has been clinically shown to: A final and important note is that the use and application of moist healing dressings reduce the economic impact on health care systems and home health providers because dressing change frequency per patient is significantly reduced compared with patients with traditional gauze or wet-to-dry wound dressings.5 Precise control and monitoring are essential for a successful moist wound healing process. Recommendations6 for creating a moist wound environment include the application of a moisture-retentive dressing for up to three days. These dressings may include one or more of the following: For the study of wet wound healing, as opposed to simple moist healing environments, other applications include the use of small, saline-filled clear vinyl chambers over the wound sites to create a wet wound environment. Technological advances in moist wound dressings are ongoing. Technical and industry observers report that leading companies are working to develop moist dressings with different properties of absorption, hydration, and antibacterial activity. Current work in the field focuses on improving the condition of the wound bed tissue and providing products that repair and regenerate damaged tissue.7 Watch for promising developments in the areas of keratin-based wound management and keratin-based dressings that can enhance cell growth when paired with moist wound healing technology. 1.

How to help you and your loved ones cope with tragedy April 16, 2013 When we are alerted to or involved in community tragedy, our world can suddenly feel unsafe and our place in it uncertain. We are often surprised by the emotional, physical and cognitive impacts that we experience as a result of the trauma event, particularly when the event takes place many miles from our own communities. However, experiencing symptoms of distress following a community tragedy is very normal despite its proximity. This is particularly true when the trauma is intentional and strikes in a context that we have deemed safe and iconic. Such events seem to threaten the very core of our way of life. The Boston Marathon is a symbol of vigor, endurance, aspiration, achievement—America itself. Many view the marathon, which takes place on Patriots’ Day each year, as evidence that anyone with high goals and a strong work ethic can achieve their dreams. It is no wonder that our sense of well-being was acutely disrupted when the finish line was fraught with tragedy. To help minimize the negative psychological consequences of encountering community trauma, individuals can engage in healthy measures that have been demonstrated in the research to mitigate distress symptoms. The following tips are intended to assist you and those you love cope with the emotional and spiritual aftermath of community trauma events. Normalize your experience: Remind yourself and those around you that experiencing psychological stress following such events is normal. It is not unusual to have a range of emotions after community trauma incidents. This emotional distress can be similar in its impact on the body as a physical injury. By normalizing your reactions, you can actually help reduce your body’s release of stress hormones, thus restoring a sense of inner calm and healthy physical and cognitive functioning. Set boundaries on media exposure. Tuning into the event through the media can help us feel a sense of connectedness to those in the broader community; however, over-exposure to the trauma can reawaken feelings of stress. Be sensitive to your need to balance your life with other events not related to the trauma incident. Talk to others. Receive support from others by talking about it. Discussing your feelings with those who are aware of the tragedy can be comforting and reassuring. Help others. Find opportunities to reach out in service to others to remind you that there is a purpose to life, and that we do have control over some things such as doing good in our communities. Take care of yourself. Community trauma events can take a toll on our physical and mental health. Establishing healthy routines, such as exercise and regular mealtimes can help reduce stress symptoms. Engaging in relaxation actives such as taking a bubble bath, lighting a scented candle, or reading a good novel can also help restore balance and lessen feelings of distress. Draw upon your spiritual resources. Traumatic events can disrupt our spiritual worldviews. Engaging in spiritual practices such as prayer, meditation, scripture study, and walking in nature can help us make meaning of the event and find solace in our connection to a higher power. Many families also feel concern about how to help their children cope with such events. The following are suggestions for helping children cope with community trauma events. Model calm. Children turn to adult for emotional cues about how to respond to tragic events. Communicating bout the event in a calm manner helps them feel more safe than when they perceive us as anxious. Be honest and developmentally appropriate in your explanations. Children can sense when we are distorting the truth. This can increase their levels of stress. Share the facts of the events with minimal embellishment and in an age-appropriate manner. Encourage discussion. Help your child to feel safe to discuss her/his feelings. Assure your child that his/her feelings are normal and that they will subside with time. Reassure your child that they are safe. Spend extra time playing. Play games and read to your child to help create a positive environment and to distract your child from the event. Maintain a normal routine. Engage in the daily routines that you established prior to the event to help generate feelings of normalcy and security. Also, be flexible to allow for your child to express special needs or minor alterations to the family routine (e.g. keeping a light in the bedroom at night for a few nights). Be affectionate. Extra affection and attention can help children feel cared for and safe. Hug or hold your child and express love. Affectionate touch and communication reduces physiological stress reactions and reminds both the child and parent that they have each other. Engage your child in spiritual practices. Praying with your child for victims of the tragedy can help your child feel that he/she is supporting the victim. Praying for and engaging in other religious rituals on the behalf of the victims can be empowering for children as well as create a healthy sense of community.
Commentary by Linda Saxon The purpose of the Municipal Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act, 1991, is: a) To provide a right of access to information under the control of government organizations in accordance with the following principles: information should be available to the public; exemptions to the right of access should be limited and specific; decisions on the disclosure of government information may be reviewed by the Information and Privacy Commissioner. b) To protect personal information held by government organizations and to provide individuals with a right of access to their own personal information. Given the number of appeals and breaches of information I have endured, I would like to hear from other residents. How open is government in Amherstburg? How are informal requests for information handled? What about Freedom of Information requests – are they routinely denied?
One of the mysteries of the English language finally explained. A person who plays the organ. - ‘He is a first-class pianist and organist and has composed music and written and published his own poems.’ - ‘As the cathedral organist, he lived just beside it in a lovely old Georgian house.’ - ‘The concert ended with a Mass by Bellini in which the organist, choir and soloists gave a magnificent performance.’ - ‘Thomas Heywood enjoys an outstanding reputation as one of the world's finest concert organists.’ - ‘The choir will sing from the High Altar in the Church and will be accompanied by their own organist.’ - ‘Soloists, organists and all musicians are reminded that their primary role is one of service to the liturgy.’ - ‘Mr Ramsay was one of the more famous cinema organists and was musical director for Union Cinemas, which operated the Ritz and Regal theatre chain.’ - ‘Perhaps the biggest disappointment - certainly for organists - is the organ writing, and particularly Debussy's limited use of the pedal-board.’ - ‘Bach's ‘Clavierubung III’ is one of the monuments of organ literature and has received a number of fine recordings by established organists over the years.’ - ‘Some were town musicians (fiddlers or pipers), others organists, Kantors, or Kapellmeister, and not a few were composers of at least local distinction.’ - ‘Many think organists are just accompanists or just play in church.’ - ‘Countless local churchgoers also knew him as their regular organist and choirmaster.’ - ‘He was an accomplished organist, owning two impressive electronic instruments.’ - ‘Most of the successful film composers began as theater organists or conductors.’ - ‘Students were allowed to play a piece on the organ, and then the organist performed for them.’ - ‘Sebastian had helped train several organists and pianists during a career that spanned over 40 years.’ - ‘I had been invited to sing in a church choir by my friend, the organist's daughter.’ - ‘Famous organists drew crowds in the thousands, sometimes more than ten thousand, to the churches, concert halls, pavilions and even department stores with grand organs.’ - ‘In common with organists, drummers, pianists, heavy metal guitarists, and Indian style violinists - he uses his feet to make music.’ - ‘The Caput ensemble (nine brass musicians, two organists, and a bassist along with various bells and electronics) performs the work.’ Top tips for CV writingRead more In this article we explore how to impress employers with a spot-on CV.
Speaking based on wikipedia is a model socio-linguistic study (represented as a mnemonic) developed by Dell Hymes. It is a tool to assist the identification and labeling of components of interactional linguistics that was driven by his view that, in order to speak a language correctly, one needs not only to learn its vocabulary and grammar, but also the context in which words are used. Then in englishclub, speaking is the delivery of language through the mouth. To speak, we create sounds using many parts of our body, including the lungs, vocal tract, vocal chords, tongue, teeth and lips. This vocalized form of language usually requires at least one listener. When two or more people speak or talk to each other, the conversation is called a “dialogue”. Speech can flow naturally from one person to another in the form of dialogue. It can also be planned and rehearsed, as in the delivery of a speech or presentation. Of course, some people talk to themselves! In fact, some English learners practise speaking standing alone in front of a mirror. Speaking can be formal or informal: - Informal speaking is typically used with family and friends, or people you know well. - Formal speaking occurs in business or academic situations, or when meeting people for the first time. Speaking is probably the language skill that most language learners wish to perfect as soon as possible. It used to be the only language skill that was difficult to practise online. This is no longer the case. English learners can practise speaking online using voice or video chat and services like Skype. They can also record and upload their voice for other people to listen to.
King Solomon loved many women who were not from Israel. He loved the daughter of the king of Egypt, as well as women of the Moabites, Ammonites, Edomites, Sidonians, and Hittites. The Lord had told the Israelites, "You must not marry people of other nations. If you do, they will cause you to follow their gods." But Solomon fell in love with these women. He had seven hundred wives who were from royal families and three hundred slave women who gave birth to his children. His wives caused him to turn away from God. As Solomon grew old, his wives caused him to follow other gods. He did not follow the Lord completely as his father David had done. Solomon worshiped Ashtoreth, the goddess of the people of Sidon, and Molech, the hated god of the Ammonites. So Solomon did what the Lord said was wrong and did not follow the Lord completely as his father David had done. On a hill east of Jerusalem, Solomon built two places for worship. One was a place to worship Chemosh, the hated god of the Moabites, and the other was a place to worship Molech, the hated god of the Ammonites. Solomon did the same thing for all his foreign wives so they could burn incense and offer sacrifices to their gods. The Lord had appeared to Solomon twice, but the king turned away from following the Lord, the God of Israel. The Lord was angry with Solomon, because he had commanded Solomon not to follow other gods. But Solomon did not obey the Lord's command. So the Lord said to Solomon, "Because you have chosen to break your agreement with me and have not obeyed my commands, I will tear your kingdom away from you and give it to one of your officers. But I will not take it away while you are alive because of my love for your father David. I will tear it away from your son when he becomes king. I will not tear away all the kingdom from him, but I will leave him one tribe to rule. I will do this because of David, my servant, and because of Jerusalem, the city I have chosen." The Lord caused Hadad the Edomite, a member of the family of the king of Edom, to become Solomon's enemy. Earlier, David had defeated Edom. When Joab, the commander of David's army, went into Edom to bury the dead, he killed all the males. Joab and all the Israelites stayed in Edom for six months and killed every male in Edom. At that time Hadad was only a young boy, so he ran away to Egypt with some of his father's officers. They left Midian and went to Paran, where they were joined by other men. Then they all went to Egypt to see the king, who gave Hadad a house, some food, and some land. The king liked Hadad so much he gave Hadad a wife -- the sister of Tahpenes, the king's wife. They had a son named Genubath. Queen Tahpenes brought him up in the royal palace with the king's own children. While he was in Egypt, Hadad heard that David had died and that Joab, the commander of the army, was dead also. So Hadad said to the king, "Let me go; I will return to my own country." "Why do you want to go back to your own country?" the king asked. "What haven't I given you here?" "Nothing," Hadad answered, "but please, let me go." God also caused another man to be Solomon's enemy -- Rezon son of Eliada. Rezon had run away from his master, Hadadezer king of Zobah. After David defeated the army of Zobah, Rezon gathered some men and became the leader of a small army. They went to Damascus and settled there, and Rezon became king of Damascus. Rezon ruled Aram, and he hated Israel. So he was an enemy of Israel all the time Solomon was alive. Both Rezon and Hadad made trouble for Israel. Jeroboam son of Nebat was one of Solomon's officers. He was an Ephraimite from the town of Zeredah, and he was the son of a widow named Zeruah. Jeroboam turned against the king. This is the story of how Jeroboam turned against the king. Solomon was filling in the land and repairing the wall of Jerusalem, the city of David, his father. Jeroboam was a capable man, and Solomon saw that this young man was a good worker. So Solomon put him over all the workers from the tribes of Ephraim and Manasseh. One day as Jeroboam was leaving Jerusalem, Ahijah, the prophet from Shiloh, who was wearing a new coat, met him on the road. The two men were alone out in the country. Ahijah took his new coat and tore it into twelve pieces. Then he said to Jeroboam, "Take ten pieces of this coat for yourself. The Lord, the God of Israel, says: 'I will tear the kingdom away from Solomon and give you ten tribes. But I will allow him to control one tribe. I will do this for the sake of my servant David and for Jerusalem, the city I have chosen from all the tribes of Israel. I will do this because Solomon has stopped following me and has worshiped the Sidonian god Ashtoreth, the Moabite god Chemosh, and the Ammonite god Molech. Solomon has not obeyed me by doing what I said is right and obeying my laws and commands, as his father David did. "'But I will not take all the kingdom away from Solomon. I will let him rule all his life because of my servant David, whom I chose, who obeyed all my commands and laws. But I will take the kingdom away from his son, and I will allow you to rule over the ten tribes. I will allow Solomon's son to continue to rule over one tribe so that there will always be a descendant of David, my servant, in Jerusalem, the city where I chose to be worshiped. But I will make you rule over everything you want. You will rule over all of Israel, and I will always be with you if you do what I say is right. You must obey all my commands. If you obey my laws and commands as David did, I will be with you. I will make your family a lasting family of kings, as I did for David, and give Israel to you. I will punish David's children because of this, but I will not punish them forever.'" Solomon tried to kill Jeroboam, but he ran away to Egypt, to Shishak king of Egypt, where he stayed until Solomon died. Everything else King Solomon did, and the wisdom he showed, is written in the book of the history of Solomon. Solomon ruled in Jerusalem over all Israel for forty years. Then he died and was buried in Jerusalem, the city of David, his father. And his son Rehoboam became king in his place.
The November 11 issue of Science reports the sequencing of the sea urchin genome. Every wader in a tide pool knows this spiky creature. What most people don't know is that we are more closely related to sea urchins than we are to worms or flies. Vertebrates and urchins share a common ancestor, 500 million years ago. Now we have a complete readout of the 814 million base pairs (compared to the human 3 billion bases) that are the four-letter code for making an urchin, encoding approximately 23,300 genes. Sea urchins have been standard laboratory animals for over a hundred years, a sort of marine white rat. A century ago Theodor Boveri demonstrated in a famous experiment that a complete set of chromosomes must be present in every cell of a sea urchin for embryonic development to occur normally. The same, of course, applies to us. Expect now to see even more rapid progress in understanding basics of embryonic development, immunology, speciation -- and a more complete understanding of our place among the myriad creatures of Earth. Who would have guessed that a history of life over hundreds of millions of years is written in every cell of our bodies, linking us across the eons with creatures that begin their larval lives as tiny bells of transparent jelly afloat in the sea. This is what the naturalist Donald Culross Peattie called the "most unutterable thing" in evolution, "the terrible continuity and fluidity of protoplasm, the inexpressible forces of reproduction -- not mystical human love, but the cold batrachian jelly by which we vertebrates are linked to things that creep and writhe and are blind yet breed and have being."

Marine species characterized as structure building, autogenic ecosystem engineers are recognized worldwide as potential tools for coastal adaptation efforts in the face of sea level rise. Successful employment of ecosystem engineers in coastal protection largely depends on long-term persistence of their structure, which is in turn dependent on the population dynamics of the individual species. Oysters, such as the Pacific oyster (Crassostrea gigas), are recognized as ecosystem engineers with potential for use in coastal protection. Persistence of oyster reefs is strongly determined by recruitment and shell production (growth), processes facilitated by gregarious settlement on extant shell substrate. Although the Pacific oyster has been introduced world-wide, and has formed dense reefs in the receiving coastal waters, the population biology of live oysters and the quantitative mechanisms maintaining these reefs has rarely been studied, hence the aim of the present work. This study had two objectives: (1) to describe the demographics of extant C. gigas reefs, and (2) to estimate vertical reef accretion rates and carbonate production in these oyster reefs. Three long-living oyster reefs (>30 years old), which have not been exploited since their first occurrence, were examined in the Oosterschelde estuary in the Netherlands. A positive reef accretion rate (7.0–16.9 mm year-1 shell material) was observed, consistent with self-maintenance and persistent structure. We provide a framework to predict reef accretion and population persistence under varying recruitment, growth and mortality scenarios.
Triggering by a laser pulse the reaction of insertion of a calcium atom in a CH3F molecule adsorbed on a rare gas aggregate (LIDYL image). A chemical reaction depends not only of atoms and molecules involved but also of their short range environment. Understanding a chemical reaction demands a fundamental approach taking into account both temporal and spatial features. Therefore, IRAMIS implements with lasers, time-resolved spectroscopies in the range from femtosecond to the millisecond, to study the dynamics of molecular systems, like for example DNA biomolecules, or chromophore molecules for photovoltaics. The various conformations adopted by the biomolecules by virtue of their flexibility are studied by a dual experience - theory approach, with quantum chemical simulations. More complex systems that are out of equilibrium, including isolated gas phase or molecular systems bound to aggregates, are also studied in order to identify and model the forces that drive their reaction dynamics.
Our opinion: Getting natural gas out of the ground turns out to be pretty dirty business. Energy shouldn’t come at the price of drinkable water and clean air. The natural gas industry likes to portray its product as abundant, domestic and clean. Perhaps it thinks two out of three isn’t bad. We don’t. Nor should Congress and the government agencies entrusted with protecting our drinking water and environment. Time and again lately, we’ve received fresh warnings that mining this source of energy is far from a clean process, despite the industry’s often artfully parsed claim that the method of choice — horizontal hydraulic fracturing — is safe. The process involves drilling deep underground, down and horizontally, and pumping in millions of gallons of water, sand and chemicals under high pressure to crack the rock and release trapped gas. The industry is using fracking to tap portions of the Marcellus Shale, a gas-rich rock formation that lies under six states, including New York. The state has yet to issue permits while it drafts regulations. Among the latest rebuttals to the industry’s claim of safety: Thousands of gallons of chemical-laced water spewed into a stream last week from a well in Bradford County, Pa. Homeowners and farmers don’t know if their water is safe now for people and animals. This follows well contaminations elsewhere in the state, which embraced the rush to drill. While the industry likes to note that chemicals are only a tiny fraction of the fracking mixture, a congressional investigation found that it added up to 866 million gallons, including hazardous and carcinogenic compounds, pumped into wells in at least 13 states from 2005 to 2009. And while underground, the water can become radioactive. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency has told Pennsylvania to test drinking water for radium. Pennsylvania officials have halted the disposal of drilling wastewater through treatment plants that discharge into rivers and streams that provide drinking water for hundreds of thousands of people. The plants, it turns out, aren’t equipped to remove the pollutants. A Cornell University study concluded that fracking contributes to global warming even more than coal or oil burning by releasing methane, a more potent greenhouse gas than carbon dioxide. The industry — which has sought to block release of methane emission data — dismissed the peer-reviewed study as lacking credibility. New York has prudently held off issuing drilling permits at least until regulations are finished this summer. We urge the state, once again, to continue its moratorium until the EPA finishes a study into the safety of hydraulic fracturing, most likely next year. That study, focusing on water, should be expanded to air quality in light of the Cornell report. Likewise, the interstate Delaware River Basin Commission, which controls a watershed that spans New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania and Delaware, and supplies water for millions including New York City residents, should wait for the EPA study, too, before issuing its own drilling regulations. New York Attorney General Eric Schneiderman should follow through on his threat to sue the commission if it doesn’t take the time for a proper environmental study. Finally, Congress needs to fix mistakes it made in 2005 to exempt hydrofracking from federal clean air and water standards. Lawmakers need to let the agency charged with protecting the environment do its job in regulating an industry that has proven to be anything but clean.

- Lifestyle choices Subsequent blogs describe these factors and their impact on our body, health and wellbeing in more detail. 1. Lifestyle Choices Many experts (ref 1) now acknowledge that degenerative diseases are mainly caused by our lifestyle choices. In recent years, products and services which promote a quick, easy convenience lifestyle rule the day. Consumption of processed foods, denatured dairy products, refined sugars and unhealthy fats have increased dramatically. Simultaneously we are eating less fresh fruit, vegetables, naturally raised and toxin free animals and fish and minimally cooked foods. Lifestyles are becoming increasingly stressful and frantic. Chronic i.e. prolonged stress (ref 2) has become ‘normal’ leading to likely imbalances in the endocrine and hormonal systems. This may prompt constantly elevated cortisol and insulin levels leading to impaired weight control and muscle building functions. Diabetes, obesity, and other metabolic disorders may develop. Your food, drink, medications and air are all saturated with microscopic chemical debris – environmental toxins and Persistent Organic Pollutants (POPs). You can’t see, feel or smell them, but they are real and over time, very dangerous to your health and wellbeing. It appears that the result may be compromised digestive, metabolic and immune systems struggling to cope with toxic overload. Toxicity may lead to all sorts of metabolic disorders like IBS and GERD. In fact, it is now becoming increasingly recognised that gut health is not only vital in itself. But also it appears that there is a very closely regulated gut-brain connection: many experts now view the gut as our second brain (ref 3). It is able to significantly influence mind, mood and behaviour. For example, the greatest concentration of serotonin, which is involved in mood control, depression and aggression, is found in the intestines, not in the brain. Think about ‘butterflies in your stomach’! Researchers are also finding that depression and a wide variety of behavioural problems appear to stem from nutritional deficiencies and/or an imbalance of bacteria in the gut. To summarize, the words of our Founder, Warren Matthews are pertinent: “Our modern diet will make you fat, sap your energy, lower your immune system, destroy your vital digestive system, and make you disease susceptible. In turn this will increase your risk of cancer and brain disease, age you prematurely and literally 'take away your life'.” In the following blogs, we’ll see how exactly this ‘modern lifestyle’ may accelerate aging. - Effects of stress http://www.webmd.com/mental-health/effects-of-stress-on-your-body - Gut-brain connection http://www.health.harvard.edu/healthbeat/the-gut-brain-connection
Technology allows for advances in cosmetic industry Waverly Long February 28, 2018 Science/Tech Throughout history, the tradition of altering one’s appearance with cosmetics has played a role in nearly every culture, tracing back 6,000 years. While the ancient form of cosmetics consisted of rubbing red mineral pigments on people’s skin, our modern technology allows for much more advanced methods of appearance enhancement, some of which even possess medical purposes or health benefits. These methods include, but aren’t limited to, the use of plastic surgery, clear aligners, corneal refractive therapy (CRT) lenses and technologically advanced makeup. Many Paly students have had experience with these various ways of changing one’s appearance. Cosmetic Surgery One of the more permanent methods is cosmetic surgery. Last winter break, junior Jess Weiss underwent a rhinoplasty procedure, a plastic surgery operation commonly known as a nose job. Weiss began meeting with her surgeon almost a year before the surgery. According to Weiss, it is the responsibility of a surgeon to ensure that their patient undergoes the surgery with a healthy mindset and a body in proper condition for the procedure. After meeting with her surgeon for one year, Weiss finally made it to the day of her operation. After the surgery, Weiss researched the procedure to learn about what she experienced. “They cut between the nostrils and peel back your skin,” Weiss said. “Then, depending on what you’re having done, they either break your nose or just shave down. For me, because they had to straighten it, they broke it. Essentially, they cut down little pieces of bone and cartilage. At the end, [they put in] these little tubes that went far up into my nasal passages to help keep it straight during the healing process.” After the procedure, Weiss experienced a lot of pain and took painkillers throughout her recovery period. In addition to her swollen eyes and face, Weiss had to avoid getting her cast wet; she wore gauze beneath her nose to help with the bleeding. She had to restrict her diet to only liquid foods for five days and clean her nose with water and saline solution in order to avoid infection. Though Weiss said her nose will not settle into its final shape until next year, she began to appreciate the long-term effects after she underwent the most painful part of the recovery process and the swelling reduced. She now likes her nose more and feels that it suits her better. According to Weiss, another long-term effect is an increase in self-confidence; however, Weiss gained more confidence from her honesty about the surgery than her appearance. “I probably am more honest now because I was worried if people would be weird or not accepting about [the surgery],” Weiss said. “I had a debate with myself about if I was going to tell people … and it seemed like a really silly thing to not be honest about. So I’d say I probably gained some confidence in that way. I’m very not shy, clearly, about telling people about it and I don’t think it’s something to hide.” Although Weiss was happy with her appearance as a whole, she was never satisfied with her nose, leading her to undergo rhinoplasty. She also knew many people who underwent plastic surgery and had a positive experience. “My parents were super supportive,” Weiss said. “My dad has had a lot of nose surgeries for unrelated, not cosmetic reasons … and they’ve always been very understanding and supportive of me and they weren’t scared about it because my dad had that experience with the surgeries. And also, knowing other people who have done it was a big thing for them in being comfortable with it.” Weiss does not believe the common misconception that those who undergo cosmetic surgery are fake. According to Weiss, altering appearance through cosmetic surgery is not much different from putting on makeup or wearing clothes that make an individual look a certain way. Weiss also emphasizes the importance of refusing to subscribe to the misconception that plastic surgery will be life-changing. “I would not tell people that cosmetic surgery is something you should do because you think it will really do something to change your life — I don’t think that’s accurate,” Weiss said. “You’re still the same person, you’re not really going to be that different.” CRT Lenses While Weiss’ plastic surgery was solely for cosmetic purposes, improvements in technology have also created procedures that affect appearances and have medical benefits. For example CRT lenses, commonly known as nighttime contact lenses, make perfect vision more convenient for those who opt against glasses. Senior Andrew Shieh has been using CRT lenses since middle school and likes not having to worry about contact lenses or glasses during the day. “[CRT lenses] have become more popular in recent years, especially among athletes,” Shieh said. “Since I only need to wear my contacts when I go to sleep, I don’t have to worry about losing them at school or when I work out.” Individuals who use CRT lenses put the contacts on every night before bed. The lenses reshape the cornea of the individual’s eyes while they sleep, so when they wake up, they have perfect vision. The eye gradually returns to its normal shape throughout the day, so the user must wear the contacts every night in order to maintain their vision. Overall, Shieh said he has had a positive experience with his lenses. “Night contacts have been effective for me. My vision has pretty much stabilized and I don’t have to wear glasses anymore.” Andrew Shieh Clear Aligners Clear aligners and CRT lenses are similar in that they both affect one’s appearance and have medical purposes, but while CRT lenses have short-term effects, clear aligners are a permanent solution. They are plastic retainers that adjust an individual’s teeth over a long period of time. People often refer to clear aligners as Invisalign, a popular clear aligner product. Clear aligners are essentially like braces, but are clear and fit over the individual’s teeth rather than attaching to them. According to junior Courtney Kernick, clear aligners can take a significant amount of time to reshape teeth due to the gradual process of adjusting one’s teeth through slight changes to the aligners. “I got a mold of my teeth at the beginning, then they sent it to Invisalign labs and came up with two week increments of sets of Invisalign that would eventually lead to [my] straight teeth and a correction of my overbite,” Kernick said. “Every two weeks, I would get a new set [that] would have a couple millimeters of changes to different teeth and parts of my mouth and that would [eventually created a long-lasting] change over the course of two years.” After wearing both clear aligners and braces, Kernick said she preferred clear aligners due to their conveniency. “Invisalign was a lot easier and more convenient. It was a lot less noticeable than braces, and the metal of braces can rub against your gums and the inside of your mouth and cause abrasions.” Courtney Kernick Makeup Though clear aligners, contact lenses and plastic surgery change an individual’s appearance, the most common form of cosmetic enhancement is makeup. Improvements in technology have created makeup with health benefits, typically seen in skincare products. These include tinted moisturizers with SPF, foundation with acne medication and eyelash serums that condition lashes to be longer and thicker. Senior Kendra Wu uses moisturizers with SPF over 30 and sunscreens with SPF over 50 to help remedy acne scars. “I buy a facial moisturizer with more than 30 SPF,” Wu said. “Wearing more sunscreen causes the pigmentation spots from acne to fade.” Technology has also made makeup more practical for all types of weather and activities. Makeup has undergone significant improvements that have contributed to the waterproof aspect as well as makeup’s long-lasting effects. Blinc, a brand of mascara, utilizes its own type of tube-technology that forms tiny water-resistant tubes around one’s eyelashes, opposed to most mascaras, which only paint the lashes. While regular mascara can be removed with makeup remover or soap and water, Blinc mascara can only be removed by using water and applying light pressure to gently slide the tubes off one’s lashes. This means that unlike regular mascara, Blinc cannot be smudged accidentally. These methods of enhancing one’s appearance have become increasingly common throughout the centuries as improvements in technology have made them more accessible and more effective. However, Weiss emphasizes that at the end of the day, it is what’s on the inside that is of paramount importance. “Just know that the most important thing is to be confident in who you are,” Weiss said. “If you are confident in who you are, no matter what you do you are going to be great and have a good life and no one needs to ‘fix’ anything.” Leave a Reply Cancel Reply Your email address will not be published.CommentName* Email* Website Notify me of follow-up comments by email.

Reference Guide to Strength TrainingAn In-Depth Look -- By Jen Mueller and Nicole Nichols, Fitness Experts SparkPeople’s Exercise Reference Guides offer an in-depth look at the principles of fitness. Every movement we make—from walking to driving—involves our muscles. Muscles are unique. They have the ability to relax, contract, and produce force. They are metabolically active, meaning that the more muscle you have, the more calories your body uses at rest and during exercise. Your muscles are highly responsive to strength training, which helps them to become larger and stronger. But if you don’t know anything about strength training, where do you start? Right here! This guide will tell you everything you need to know to begin and even offer a few tips for experienced exercisers as well. What is Strength Training? Strength training is the process of exercising with progressively heavier resistance for the purpose of strengthening the musculoskeletal system. It is also referred to as weight lifting, weight training, body sculpting, toning, body building, and resistance training. What are the Benefits of Strength Training? Regular strength training increases the size and strength of the muscle fibers. It also strengthens the tendons, ligaments, and bones. All of these changes have a positive impact on your physical fitness, appearance, and metabolism, while reducing the risk of injury and decreasing joint and muscle pain. Muscle is metabolically-active tissue. This means that the more muscle you have, the faster your metabolism is while at rest. So, strength training is an important component of weight loss and weight maintenance. Without consistent strength training, muscle size and strength decline with age. An inactive person loses half a pound of muscle every year after age 20. After age 60, this rate of loss doubles. But, muscle loss is not inevitable. With regular strength training, muscle mass can be preserved throughout the lifespan, and the muscle lost can also be rebuilt.<pagebreak> 4 Principles of Strength Training The four principles of strength training are guidelines that will help you strength train safely and effectively to reach your goals. 1. The Tension Principle: The key to developing strength is creating tension within a muscle (or group of muscles). Tension is created by resistance. Resistance can come from weights (like dumbbells), specially-designed strength training machines, resistance bands, or the weight of your own body. There are three methods of resistance: Calisthenics (your own body weight): You can use the weight of your own body to develop muscle, but using body weight alone is less effective for developing larger muscles and greater strength. However, calisthenics adequately improve general muscular fitness and are sufficient to improve muscle tone and maintain one’s current level of muscular strength. Examples include: pushups, crunches, dips, pull ups, lunges, and squats, just to name a few. Fixed Resistance: This method of resistance provides a constant amount of resistance throughout the full range of motion (ROM) of a strength training exercise. This means that the amount of resistance/weight you are lifting does not change during the movement. For example, during a 10-pound curl, you are lifting 10 pounds throughout the motion. Fixed resistance helps to strengthen all the major muscle groups in the body. Examples include: Exercises that use dumbbells (free weights), resistance bands and tubes, and some machines. - Variable Resistance: During exercises with variable resistance, the amount of resistance changes as you move through the range of motion. This creates a more consistent effort of exertion throughout the entire exercise. For example, when lifting weights, it is harder to lift up against gravity and easier to lower the weight down with gravity. Specially-designed machines (like Nautilus and Hammer Strength brands) take the angle, movement, and gravity into account so that the release of a biceps curl feels just as hard as the lifting phase of the curl. Isometric means “same length.” This is a high-intensity contraction of the muscle with no change in the length of the muscle. In other words, your muscles are working hard but the muscle itself remains static. Isometric exercises are good for variety and some strength maintenance, but they don’t challenge your body enough to build much strength. Learn more about isometric exercise here. - Isotonic means “same tension.” When you lift weights or use resistance bands, your muscles are shortening and lengthening against the resistance. This challenges your muscles throughout the entire range of motion. However, the amount of force the muscle generates will change throughout the movement (Force is greater at full contraction/shortening of the muscle). Unlike isometric exercises, this type of contraction does help build strength.<pagebreak> 4. The Detraining Principle: After consistent strength training stops, you will eventually lose the strength that you built up. Without overload or maintenance, muscles will weaken in two weeks or less! This is the basis behind why individuals lose muscle mass as they age—because they are detraining by exercising less frequently. How Much Strength Training Should You Do? When considering the guidelines for aerobic exercise, keep the FITT principles in mind (Frequency, (Intensity, Time and Type). Frequency: Number of strength training sessions per week Aim to train each muscle group at least two times per week, and up to three if you have the time or are more advanced. One day per week may help you maintain your current level of strength, but in most cases, it will not be enough to build muscle. It is important to rest 1-2 days in between working the same muscle(s) again. Rest days give the muscles time to repair themselves from small tears that occur during strength training, and this is how you get stronger. For example, if you do a full body routine on Monday, do not lift again until Wednesday or Thursday (1-2 days). If you decide to split up your strength training (due to time, schedule or personal preference), and do upper body exercises on Monday and lower body exercises on Tuesday, it’s okay to lift two days in a row—because you are working different muscles. You wouldn’t lift upper body again until Wednesday or Thursday, or lower body again until Thursday or Friday. Intensity: How much weight or resistance you should lift This is a tricky one—and if you’re new to exercise, it will take some trial and error. The intensity of the resistance you lift should challenge you. It should be high enough that as you approach your last repetition, you feel muscle exhaustion. Exhaustion means your muscle is so tired that you can’t do another full repetition in good form. Many people do not lift to exhaustion, mostly because they don’t know that they are supposed to. They tend to just lift the number of reps that they have subscribed to and stop. For example, if you are going to do 10 reps of biceps curls, don’t merely stop on that 10th rep if you haven’t reached muscle exhaustion. You could either continue doing reps until you do reach exhaustion, or take this as a sign that the weight you are lifting is too light. Increase your weight until you do feel exhausted on the 10th rep. How much weight/resistance you lift will work hand in hand with the number of reps you do (see Time below). Time: Number of reps and sets you should do Going from the starting position, through the action and back to the starting position counts as one rep. Most people lift somewhere between 8 and 15 reps, which equals one set. Most people do 1-3 sets with rest in between each set. How many reps should you do? Most experts recommend between 8 and 15 reps per set. If your goal is to build strength and muscle size, then aim for fewer reps (like 8-10). Because you are doing fewer reps, you will need a heavier weight to reach muscle exhaustion in each set, so that’s where the words “heavy weight, low reps” come from. If your goal is general fitness or endurance, then aim for more reps (like 10-15). Because you are doing so many, you’ll need a lighter weight. No matter what your goal, be sure to lift resistance that is heavy enough to exhaust you at the end of your set. So, while you may be able to curl 20 pounds and feel exhaustion in 8 reps, you may only be able to lift 12 or 15 pounds if you are doing 15 reps. The ideal number of sets has been debated about for years. A good rule of thumb is 1-3 sets. Research studies have shown that performing 2 sets is not significantly better than one. And performing 3 sets is not significantly better than doing 2. The only significant difference is between 1 and 3 sets. As long as you are working to the point of exhaustion, you can maintain and even build strength by doing only 1 set. But unless you are crunched for time, most beginners start with 2 sets of each exercise. Make sure you rest 30-90 seconds between sets. You can use this time to stretch the muscle you are working and catch your breath or get a drink of water. The longer you rest, the more strength you will have to finish out your next set just as strongly as the previous one—which will aid in your strength development.<pagebreak> Type: Activities that count as strength training Perform exercises to target every major muscle group when strength training: your arms (biceps and triceps), shoulders, chest, back, core (abs, obliques and lower back), and legs (quads, hamstrings, glutes and calves). Make sure you work opposing muscles, not just the ones you see when you look in the mirror (biceps, chest, abs, quads). The opposing muscles are the ones that work in opposition to those (in this case, the triceps, back, lower back, and hamstrings). Also be sure to work the sides of your body: obliques, hips, abductors and adductors (outer and inner thigh). The idea is to achieve balance. The same goes for the upper and lower body. Don’t neglect one or the other just because one is more important to you. This can create imbalance and set you up for injury and pain. Strength training can be done with a variety of equipment such as resistance bands, stability ball, hand weights, machines, or body weight. The Fitness Resource Center has numerous examples of exercises and workouts for you to choose from. These tips will help you get started on the right foot! - Check with your doctor before starting an exercise program. Get more about exercise safety tips for beginners. - Always warm up for at least 5-10 minutes before strength training. - Proper form is essential for safety and effectiveness. Start with light weights as you perfect your form and get accustomed to strength training. Gradually increase the amount of weight you lift over time, by no more than 10% each week. - Always cool down at least 5-10 minutes at the end of your workout. - Vary your exercise program to avoid boredom and plateaus. Changing your routine every 6-8 weeks is crucial to keeping your body/muscles surprised and constantly adapting. They'll have to work harder, you'll be challenged, and you'll burn more calories and build more lean muscle in the process. Learn how to change your exercise routine to avoid plateaus. Drink plenty of water before, during and after exercise to stay hydrated. Machines are best for beginners. They usually have detailed instructions and a picture on them, plus they show which muscles you are working. They are set up to put your body in proper form and isolate the right muscles. They are usually grouped together (upper body, chest, arms, legs, etc) in a weight room, so that you can easily move through them and target every major muscle group. Free weights are more advanced. After you’ve had a good foundation with machines (or body weight exercises) you can move into free weights. When using free weights, form becomes even more important because there is nothing to support you or make you do it properly. Lift in front of a mirror and use the proper benches for support. Always watch the alignment of the joints and their relationships: shoulders, hips, knees, and ankles should be aligned. Your back should remain flat and your abs should be contracted to help support the lower back. Have a trainer assist you and have someone there to spot you if you are lifting heavy weights. Use tools such as the Exercise Demos to help you achieve proper form. - Don’t hold your breath, which can be dangerous (it increases blood pressure and can cause lightheadedness, for example). Exhale fully and forcefully on the exertion phase—usually the phase where you are lifting the weight. Inhale deeply on the easier phase—usually when returning to the starting position. Try to keep this rhythm throughout every set. In the beginning, it will take some concentration, but after a while, it will become habit.

Acne and its Affect on Mental Health People of all ages are susceptible to the skin disorder known as acne. There are pimples, blackheads, and whiteheads present, which define it. Although acne does not pose a life-threatening hazard, it can significantly affect a person’s mental health. Acne is the most prevalent skin ailment in the US, according to the American Academy of Dermatology. An estimated 50 million Americans are impacted by it annually. Although it can affect adults, acne is most prevalent in teens. There are several variables that contribute to acne, including: - Excess sebaceous gland activity - Pore-clogging dead skin cells There are several ways to treat bacterial acne, including: - Topically applied drugs - Drugs taken orally for acne treatment Although acne can be cured, it can also be a chronic, cyclical problem. This can result in a variety of mental health issues, such as: - A low sense of self - Social exclusion What Effects Does Acne Have on Mental Health? The mental health of an individual may be significantly impacted by acne. It may result in social isolation, low self-esteem, anxiety, and/or depression. Anxiety is more common in acne sufferers than in acne-free people. Acne’s outward manifestation as well as the associated social shame can both contribute to anxiety. Additionally, compared to those without acne, those with acne are more prone to develop despair. The same causes that contribute to anxiety can also create depression, along with the discomfort and physical agony that acne can bring about. Low self-esteem can also be a result of acne. Acne sufferers could be self-conscious about how they look, which might make them avoid social situations and become socially isolated. Because they are self-conscious about their looks, those who have acne may avoid social situations. Social isolation and loneliness may result from this. How Can Someone With Acne Be Helped? There are a few things you may do to support a friend who is dealing with acne: - Be encouraging. Let them know you are there for them and that you are aware of what they are going through. - Encourage them to look for expert assistance. They might wish to consult a dermatologist or mental health specialist if their acne is really distressing them. - Find strategies to manage their acne by assisting them. People who have acne have a variety of options for managing their problem, including topical treatments, oral drugs, and acne surgery. - Encourage them to remain upbeat. Acne sufferers must have a positive attitude and concentrate on their positive attributes. The mental health of an individual may be significantly impacted by acne. It’s crucial to get professional assistance if you have acne problems. You can take a variety of actions to control your acne and enhance your mental well-being.
For Sale: Baby Shoes, Never Worn This is Ernest Hemingway's infamous six-word short story, supposedly written after a bar room bet with a group of his contemporaries. It’s also one of the finest examples ever conceived of what I like to call “iceberg storytelling,” where the writer gives the audience a sparse, stripped-down story with just enough information to fill in the details with their imagination. In the case of this particular story, it forces the audience to imagine the circumstances under which this advertisement was written. It forces them to imagine a miscarriage, a stillbirth, a failed delivery. It forces them to imagine the pain of a grieving mother, selling the shoes because they’re a constant reminder of the child that never was. All of that from six simple words — For Sale: Baby Shoes, Never Worn A powerful metaphor to shape your stories The storytelling metaphor here is simple. With an iceberg, only a small portion of its total mass is visible to the naked eye. The remainder of that mass — the vast majority of it, even — lays beneath the surface of the water. With the example above, the tip of the iceberg is what we’re given. It’s the six-word story. The additional pieces — all of those painful details and themes that we’re forced to imagine — lay beneath the surface. Yet all of this subtext forms the heart of the story, the thing that makes it so compelling, even though we weren’t explicitly told about any of it. This is what makes iceberg storytelling so powerful. The human imagination is capable of incredible things, largely because we tend to use our own experiences and emotions to fill in those blanks. As storytellers, this presents us with an incredible opportunity. By giving audiences simple story cues that are meant to stoke their imagination, then consciously stripping away other story elements and pieces of context, we can potentially create a more powerful experience than if we had simply told the audience everything. Here’s a quote from Hemingway himself that poignantly summarizes the theory: If a writer of prose knows enough of what he is writing about he may omit things that he knows and the reader, if the writer is writing truly enough, will have a feeling of those things as strongly as though the writer had stated them. The dignity of movement of an ice-berg is due to only one-eighth of it being above water. A writer who omits things because he does not know them only makes hollow places in his writing. Using iceberg storytelling in short films Now that you’ve got a basic understanding of how iceberg storytelling works, let’s take a look at an example of how it can be applied to short films. This film comes from Kassim Norris, a director, cinematographer, and colorist based out of Indianapolis. It’s a short adaptation of a feature film that he’s currently working on, and is a fantastic example of how a short film can tell a much larger story than its screen time would indicate. Diving into the script of It Eats You Up In order to help show you what iceberg storytelling looks like in screenwriting, I’ve included a portion of the script for It Eats You Up below. Pay close attention to the pieces of dialogue that reveal something about the larger story. When you see one of these story elements, stop for a moment and imagine to yourself what the larger implications are. Are you ready? Let’s do it. INT. STATE CORRECTIONAL FACILITY – AFTERNOON TARA sits alone inside a grim, dimly lit visitors lounge. She overhears footsteps approaching. A tall dark middle-aged man (DARYL) wearing inmates clothing walks into the room and heads towards Tara. Tara stands up to greet Daryl as he approaches her. She quickly notices that Daryl seems a bit tense. They take a seat across from one another. Tara slides Daryl a carton of cigarettes. Daryl stares at the box of cigarettes for a moment, then hands them back to Tara. He leans in close. Why do you keep coming here? What do you mean? Daryl pauses for a brief moment. You know when you first told me I was your father? I didn’t think it was possible. Then I started to remember how wild I was. And as bad as I wanted it, it just didn’t add up. Tara stares deeply into Daryl’s eyes. You said you found me through the newspaper… OK. The man I killed, thirteen years ago, what’s his name? Tara turns her head away from Daryl and avoids eye contact. Daryl squints his eyes and moves in closer. Why can’t you say his name Tara? Daryl leans back in his seat and puts his head down while exhaling slowly Look! You ain’t gotta to say it, I know why you been coming here. Why you made up all this shit about me being your dad! Tara eyes grow big, shocked by Daryl’s statement The minute I wanted you to be my daughter was the minute I knew you wasn’t. The man I killed…. is your father isn’t it? Tara’s eyes begin to swell with tears as she looks away from Daryl in attempts to fight back her emotions. What you did? I get it. You wanna know why I did it? Daryl takes a deep breath and puts his head down. Let’s just say, the shit eats me up. And if you keep coming here it’ll do the same to you. From this single scene, which is essentially a well-crafted monologue, we can gather so much information about the larger story at play in this film. First and foremost, we can piece together a narrative about Tara seeking out her father’s killer, finding him in prison, then convincing him that she’s his daughter, all in a wayward attempt to gain emotional closure of some sort. Though we actually don’t see any of this, it’s easy to imagine thanks to the smart dialogue. Beyond this story, which is compelling in and of itself, we get to feel the pain of these two people. - A young girl who had her father taken away at a young age, and who wants closure, maybe even revenge. - A prisoner who regrets everyday the thing that put him behind bars, made even more painful by the fact that his victim’s daughter is sitting right across from him. These are emotionally-complex characters in an emotionally-complex situation, and despite the fact that we spend less than 5 minutes with them, we can feel the full weight of that complexity. It’s borderline overbearing. An interview with Kassim Norris, writer and director of It Eats You Up I was able to chat with Kassim about the process of making this film, and get his thoughts on iceberg storytelling in general. Here’s that interview in its entirety. What inspired you to make It Eats You Up, and how did you go about turning that inspiration into fully fleshed-out characters and the overarching story of this film? 'It Eats You Up' is actually a short adaptation of my feature film, 'Adore the Wolf'. In the feature, we follow a 13 year old boy who runs away from home to avenge his fathers death. In the short, we use different characters and settings but still capture that same uncomfortable atmosphere of someone facing their father’s killer. When writing, did you start with that monologue already in mind, or did you start with the larger story of a girl visiting her father’s murderer in prison, and then work your way to that climactic moment? Either way, walk us through the process of getting the script written and the story fine-tuned. I started with the scene, but since the feature was already written, I pretty much knew the outcome I wanted. It was never about the dialog but rather the uncomfortable tension between two people in such circumstances. My goal was to write the silence and just allow the dialogue to fall between the moments of tension. In short, I knew the dialogue would be great if I kept it minimal but mastered the silence. Why are you personally drawn to this idea of iceberg storytelling? I think maybe because it aligns with my view in life. I strongly believe in the idea "less is more". By giving people too much they won't have a reason to appreciate, but giving them only enough will certainly fuel their imagination and curiosity. Also, I believe that in reality people only share small fragments of their life while holding back the many unattractive layers that would reveal who they really are. The iceberg approach is only a mirror of the human experience. You mentioned Japanese cinema in your email awhile back. Tell us about some of the influences on your writing and directing style. As far as influence, storytellers that aren't afraid to be bold, blunt ,and honest rather than embellishing. In a majority of movies, people talk too much. In life, there is more time of silence than verbal communication. In my opinion, mainstream films seem to miss out on the key essence of authentic communication. Artists like Tarkovsky, Nicolas Winding Refn, and Rembrandt are all different but masters of communication without dialogue. My goal is to create the most sincere human experience through an alluring aesthetic. Talk a little bit about why this technique is so much more powerful and compelling than just spoon-feeding the story to the audience. What emotional impact do you think this has for people watching? It goes back to the "less is more" theory. I truly believe that people do not want everything handed to them. I think people are naturally attracted to the mystique. By giving no explanations, people will connect with the characters in a way that is very harmonious. I am creating an unfinished sentence but allowing people to fill their own names and memories in the blanks, which in return allows them to see themselves in the story rather than a predesigned template that forces them to accept a world that they cannot identify with. What advice would you give to someone who's setting out to make an “iceberg" short film While writing your script, stop watching films and watch people. Also, whether you are shooting on film or digital, rehearsing is key. This is where you will learn that what is great in the script may not be good in frame. Be influenced by yourself (and your story) and not that "great film" you saw recently. Where can people learn more about you and stay up to date with your latest films? All in all, iceberg storytelling is an incredibly useful tool to keep in your filmmaker's toolbox. It's an effective way to not only craft a compelling short film, but you can use it to structure a feature film as well, or individual scenes within a feature. And when you combine iceberg storytelling with good writing, acting, cinematography, editing, and sound, you're well on your way to creating an incredible experience for the audience, one that they won't soon forget.

Four forces an aircraft should deal with: Thrust, drag, lift, and weight Just as familiarity with a car’s engine and gear system helps a driver adjust their driving style and improve their car’s mileage, knowing how an aircraft operates and the forces that affect the aircraft’s flight will help you understand the strategies airlines use to improve their aircraft’s fuel efficiency. The four forces that influence the aircraft’s flight and its fuel consumptions are as follows. How these forces influence fuel consumption At a given speed, the increase in the aircraft’s weight affects the drag and cruising altitude. A heavier aircraft flies at lower altitude, as it requires higher air density to provide the necessary lift. Higher air density increases the drag. Since the thrust should exceed the drag for the aircraft to accelerate, fuel consumption increases. The table above shows the fuel consumption for takeoff of an aircraft at different altitudes and gross weights. Fuel consumption increases as weight and altitude increase. In the next article of this series, we’ll see how much United (UAL) lowers fuel consumption through weight reduction, engine modification, and winglets to reduce drag. All United’s peers, including Delta (DAL), American Airlines (AAL), Southwest (LUV), and JetBlue (JBLU), use standard winglets for fuel efficiency, but United is the first company to use the new Split Scimitar winglets. © 2013 Market Realist, Inc.
Bharat Matā (Hindi, from Sanskrit Bhāratāmbā भारताम्बा; अम्बा ambā means ‘mother’) is the national personification of India as a mother goddess. She is an amalgam of all the goddesses of Indian culture and more significantly of goddess Durga. She is usually depicted as a woman clad in a saffron sari holding the Indian national flag, and sometimes accompanied by a lion. The image of Bhāratmātā formed with the Indian independence movement of the late 19th century. A play by Kiran Chandra Bannerjee, Bhārat Mātā, was first performed in 1873. The play set in 1770 Bengal famine depicted a woman and her husband who went to forest and encounters rebels. The priest takes them to temple where they were shown Bharat Mata. Thus they are inspired and led rebellion which result in defeat of the British. The Manushi magazine story traces origin to a satirical work Unabimsa Purana or The Nineteenth Puranaby Bhudeb Mukhopadhyay which was first published anonymously in 1866. Bankim Chandra Chattopadhyay in 1882 wrote a novel Anandamath and introduced the hymn “Vande Mātaram“, which soon became the song of the emerging freedom movement in India. As the British Raj created cartographic shape of India through the Geological Survey of India, the Indian nationalist developed it into an icon of nationalism. In 1920s, it became In the 1920s, it became more political image sometimes including images of Mahatma Gandhiand Bhagat Singh. The Tiranga flag was also started being included during this period. In 1930s, the image entered in religious practice. The Bharat Mata temple was built in Benaras in 1936 by Shiv Prashad Gupt and was inaugurated by Mahatma Gandhi. This temple does not have any statuary but only a marble relief of the map of India. Bipin Chandra Pal elaborated its meaning in idealizing and idealist terms, along with Hindu philosophical traditions and devotional practices. It represented an archaic spiritual essence, a transcendental idea of Universe as well as expressing Universal Hinduism and nationhood. Abanindranath Tagore portrayed Bhārat Mātā as a four-armed Hindu goddess wearing saffron-colored robes, holding the manuscripts, sheaves of rice, a mala, and a white cloth. The image of Bharatmata was an icon to create nationalist feeling in Indians during the freedom struggle. Sister Nivedita, an admirer of the painting, opined that the picture was refined and imaginative, with Bharatmata standing on green earth and blue sky behind her; feet with four lotuses, four arms meaning divine power; white halo and sincere eyes; and gifts Shiksha-Diksha-Anna-Bastra of the motherland to her children. Indian Independence activist Subramania Bharati saw Bharat Mata as the land of Ganga. He identified Bharat Mata as Parashakti. He also says that he has got the Darśana of Bharat Mata during his visit with his guru Sister Nivedita. In the book Everyday Nationalism: Women of the Hindu Right in India, Kalyani Devaki Menon argues that “the vision of India as Bharat Mata has profound implications for the politics of Hindu nationalism” and that the depiction of India as a Hindu goddess implies that it is not just the patriotic but also the religious duty of all Hindus to participate in the nationalist struggle to defend the nation. This association with Hinduism has caused controversy with India’s religious minorities, especially its Muslim population. Bharat Mata temples The Temple, a gift from the nationalists Shiv Prasad Gupta and Durga Prasad Khatri, was inaugurated by Mahatma Gandhi in 1936. Mahatma Gandhi said, “I hope this temple, which will serve as a cosmopolitan platform for people of all religions, castes, and creeds including Harijans, will go a great way in promoting religious unity, peace, and love in the country.” The temple was founded by Swami Satyamitranand Giri on the banks of the Ganges in Haridwar. It has 8 storeys and is 180 feet tall. It was inaugurated by Indira Gandhi in 1983. Floors are dedicated to mythological legends, religious deities, freedom fighters and leaders. The temple is located in Michael Nagar on Jessore Road, barely 2 km away from the Kolkata Airport. Here, Bharat Mata (the Mother Land) is portrayed through the image of ‘Jagattarini Durga’. This was inaugurated on October 19, 2015 (Mahashashti Day of Durga Puja that year) by Shri Keshari Nath Tripathi, the Governor of West Bengal. The initiative to build the temple, which has been named ‘Jatiya Shaktipeeth’, was taken by the Spiritual Society of India in order to mark the 140th Anniversary of ‘Vande Mataram’, the hymn to the Mother Land. - “History lesson: How ‘Bharat Mata’ became the code word for a theocratic Hindu state”. - Visualizing space in Banaras: images, maps, and the practice of representation, Martin Gaenszle, Jörg Gengnagel, illustrated, Otto Harrassowitz Verlag, 2006, ISBN 978-3-447-05187-3 - “Far from being eternal, Bharat Mata is only a little more than 100 years old”. - Roche, Elizabeth (17 March 2016). “The origins of Bharat Mata”. livemint.com/.

Word Embeddings in Python with Spacy and Gensim Word embeddings are vector representations of words, which can then be used to train models for machine learning. One method to represent words in vector form is to use one-hot encoding to map each word to a one-hot vector. However, one-hot encoding of words do not measure relationships between words, and result in huge sparse matrix representations which consume memory and space. n-grams can be used to capture relationships between words, but do not resolve the size of the input feature space, which grows exponentially with the number of n-grams. Using n-grams can also leads to increasing data sparsity, which means more data is needed in order to successfully train statistical models. Word2vec embeddings remedy to these two problems. They represent words in a continuous N-dimensional vector space (where N refers to the dimensions of the vector) such that words that share common contexts and semantics are located in close proximity to one another in the space. For instance, the words "doctor", "physician" and "radiologist" share similar contexts and meanings and therefore share a similar vector representation. Word2Vec trains a neural network with a single hidden layer with the objective of maximizing the probability of the next words given the previous words. The network is not used for the task it has been trained on. The rows of the hidden layer weight matrix are used instead as the word embeddings. For a hidden layer with N=300 neurons, the weight matrix W size is V x N, where V is the size of the vocabulary set. Each row in W corresponds to the embedding of a word in the vocabulary and has size N=300, resulting in a much smaller and less sparse vector representation then 1-hot encondings (where the dimension of the embedding is o the same order as the vocabulary size). This tutorial explains - how to use a pretrained word2vec model with Gensim and with Spacy, two Python libraires for NLP, - how to train your own word2vec model with Gensim, - and how to use your customized word2vec model with Spacy. Spacy is a natural language processing library for Python designed to have fast performance, and with word embedding models built in. Gensim is a topic modelling library for Python that provides modules for training Word2Vec and other word embedding algorithms, and allows using pre-trained models. This tutorial works with Python3. First make sure you have the libraries Gensim and Spacy. You can install them with pip3 via pip3 install spacy gensim in your terminal. Word Vectors With Spacy Spacy provides a number of pretrained models in different lanuguages with different sizes. I choose to work with the model trained on written text (blogs, news, comments) in English. A list of these models can be found here: https://spacy.io/models. The similarity to other words, the vector of each processed token, the mean vector for the entire sentence are all useful attributes that can be used for NLP. Predicting similarity is useful for building recommendation systems or flagging duplicates for instance. In the example below, the words software, computer and mail are all present in the vocabulary the model was trained on, and their vectors can be accessed. The token hjhdgs is out-of-vocabulary and its vector representation consists of a zero vector with dimension of 300. Word Vectors With Gensim Gensim does not provide pretrained models for word2vec embeddings. There are models available online which you can use with Gensim. One option is to use the Google News dataset model which provides pre-trained vectors trained on part of Google News dataset (about 100 billion words). The model contains 300-dimensional vectors for 3 million words and phrases. The archive is available here: GoogleNews-vectors-negative300.bin.gz from https://code.google.com/archive/p/word2vec/. The raw output vectors can be accessed via gensim_model['computer'], and can be used for your NLP task. Creating your own word2vec model with Gensim A pretrained word embeddings model might not capture the specificities of the language for a spcefic domain. For instance, a model trained with Wikipedia articles might not have exposure to words and other aspects to domains such as medicine, or law. Out of vocabulary words might be another issue with a pretrained model. Training your own word2Vec might lead more optimal solutions for your application. It is possible to train your own word2vec model with Gensim. This section covers the necessary steps. To test the impact of having a customized word2vec model, I downloaded the 2017-10-30 Sample dataset (10k papers, 10MB) from Open Corpus https://api.semanticscholar.org/corpus/download/, which includes abstracts from 10k published research papers in Neuroscience, and Biomedical fields. I expect the customized model will provide word vectors that are more accurate for words in the neuroscience, and biomedical fields than the Google News dataset pretrained model. We limit the training to 10k research papers for demonstration purposes. However, a larger dataset might be better suitable for a real application. Input For Training Gensim’s word2vec expects a sequence of sentences as its input. Each sentence is a list of words. Sentences can be a generator, reading input data from disk on-the-fly, without loading the entire corpus into RAM. Instead of keeping a an in-memory list of sentences, which can use up a lot of RAM when the input is large, we build the class IterableSentences, where each file in the corpus is processed line by line. We use regex to preprocess the text. Every sentence is convereted to lowercase and all the digits, special characters, and extra spaces from the text are removed. After preprocessing, the generator returns a list of lowercase words. Additional preprocessing can be added in IterableSentences.__iter__. IterableSentences looks at text files within a folder. In my case, all the abstracts are loaded in one text file in a directory called dataset. Word2vec accepts several parameters that affect both training speed and quality. We focus here on few: - min_count to ignore words that do not appear above a certain level and for which there isn't enough data to learn useful representations. - size to set the size opf the hidden layer. A larger number of neurons in the hidden layer means a larger vector reprenstation, which can lead to more accurate models. However, larger numbers require more data for training. The other paramters to control training can be found here. Exploring the Customised Model To explore the benefits of having a customized model, we look at some specific examples: In the example below, the customized model exclude brain from the list ['woman', 'ovarian', 'brain'] which is more accurate than excluding woman when looking at a biomedical domain. When looking at the most similar word to author, the customised model provides a list that is more specific to research papers, whereas the pretrained model provides a list that is more specific to literary books. For the word hydroxylasepositive, the pretrained model fails since the word is OOV, which is not the case for the customised model. Using The Customised Model With Spacy It is possible to use the model we trained with Spacy, taking advantage of the tools that Sapcy provides. Here is a summary of the steps to use the customized model with Spacy: Save your model in plain-text format: Gzip the text file: which produces a word2vec.txt.gz file. Run the following command: Load the vectors in Spacy using: The word2vec model accuracy can be improved by using different parameters for training, different corpus sizes or a different model architecture. Increasing the window size of the context, the vector dimensions, and the training datasets can improve the accuracy of the word2vec model, however at the cost of increasing computational complexity. Training speed and performance can be improved by removing very frequent words that provide little information, such as a, the and and. Frequently occurring bigrams and trigrams can be detected with Gensim Phraser, which can improve the accuracy and usefulness of the embeddings. For example, the model can be trained to produce a vector for new_york, instead of training vectors for new and york. - Word2vec Tutorial, Radim Řehůřek, https://rare-technologies.com/word2vec-tutorial/ - In spacy, how to use your own word2vec model created in gensim? https://stackoverflow.com/questions/50466643/in-spacy-how-to-use-your-own-word2vec-model-created-in-gensim - Word Vectors and Semantic Similarity, https://spacy.io/usage/vectors-similarity - models.word2vec – Word2vec embeddings, https://radimrehurek.com/gensim/models/word2vec.html More Tutorials to Practice your Skills on: By Chris Tegho Chris is currently working as a Machine Learning Engineer for a startup, Calipsa.

“In the beginning was the Logos…and the Logos was made flesh.” (Jn. 1:1,14) The Gospel of John starts out by telling us that the Logos became the person of Jesus Christ. But was the Logos a person before that? In the beginning, was the Logos a person, a “word”, or something else? According to Trinitarian theology, the Logos was a person, and then changed dramatically at the incarnation, to become another person, a God/man. This may come as a surprise, but for the first 150 years of the church’s existence the Logos of John 1:1 was not considered to be a person. If the earliest church didn’t consider the Logos to be a person, then what on earth (or in heaven) was it, in their minds? Did John ever intend for the Logos to be what it later became in Trinitarian theology – a divine person who was part of an eternal godhead consisting of three persons? Just what does this word actually mean? What sources are we going to use to help us drill down on what the author meant by “Logos”? Should we look to a Greek understanding under the influence of Plato, or the Stoics, or the Gnostics? A Greek and Roman point of view as influenced by the Jewish philosopher Philo? A strictly Jewish understanding since the author is Jewish and he wrote to a Jewish audience? Or a contemporary theological approach that insists on a Trinitarian understanding? These are the typical approaches but I submit the answer is much more simple and accessible to us all, even to non-academics. How about we just look the word up in a dictionary? Seriously Kirby? It’s really that easy? Yes, it’s really that easy. Here it is: What Does Logos Mean? The second part of a dictionary definition of Logos (from http://www.biblestudytools.net. – the same can be found in Strong’s Concordance): - Its use as respect to the MIND alone: - reason, the mental faculty of thinking, meditating, reasoning, calculating - account, i.e. regard, consideration - account, i.e. reckoning, scored. - account, i.e. answer or explanation in reference to judgment - relation, i.e. with whom as judge we stand in relation - reason would - reason, cause, ground Does that sound like a person, or does that sound like a thought, something in someone’s mind? This definition of logos as something in one’s mind can be clearly seen in the following usages in other places in the New Testament where logos is translated into the underlined words in all capital letters: Ac 18:14 – Gallio said unto the Jews, “If it were a matter of wrong or wicked lewdness, O you Jews, REASON would that I should bear with you.” Ac 10:29 – Therefore came I unto you without gainsaying, as soon as I was sent for: I ask therefore for what INTENT you have sent for me? Ac 8:21 – You have neither part nor lot in this MATTER: for your heart is not right in the sight of God. Ac 15:6 – And the apostles and elders came together to consider this MATTER. Mt 5:32 – But I say to you, that whosoever shall put away his wife, saving for the CAUSE of fornication, causes her to commit adultery. Mt 18:23 – The kingdom of heaven is likened unto a certain king, which would take ACCOUNT of his servants. Lu 16:2 – And he called him, and said unto him, How is it that I hear this of you? Give an ACCOUNT of your stewardship; for you can no longer steward. Encyclopedia Britannica includes “plan” as one of the English equivalents for Logos, along with “word” and “reason.” Logos as “thinking” can also be seen in our English word logic which came from the Greek word logos as well as the words biology, from bios, Greek for life, and logos, Greek for thinking, hence, the study of life, as well as anthropology, the study of man, and psychology, the study of the soul, and many other academic disciplines. Only the scriptures that translate logos as something other than “word” are listed above to illustrate that though this is the second, less frequent use of logos, this usage was common to the Biblical writers and to their audience. If I were to travel back in time to 1st century Palestine with a drawing for a house plan, buy a lot and start building that house and showed that plan to the neighbor next door he might say I had shown him a nice logos, because he would know that the plan on paper is the plan in my head. He might also tell his relatives that the guy who owns the lot next door is making “all things according to it (the logos) and it’s going to be a fine house.” The Logos, the Plan of God Seeing the Logos as a plan rather than a word or a person helps to explain a number of other concepts in the bible. From the beginning of creation God created all things with a plan in mind. That shouldn’t surprise us. What should surprise us is if God created all things without a plan but rather just haphazardly threw the whole thing together on a whim. Like some of the omelettes I’ve made when my dear wife was not around to rescue me from my own cooking. The plan that God had in mind when he created all things John calls a Logos at the beginning of his Gospel. This Logos was the blueprint for creation, and Jesus Christ is central to that plan. To paraphrase John, he is saying Jesus is God’s plan. Everything that God did before Jesus was done with Jesus in mind. That’s what is meant by “through him all things were made” two verses later and “through whom he made the worlds” in Heb. 1:2. What was in God’s mind was finally revealed when that plan became flesh, when Jesus was born, walked among us, was crucified and rose again. That’s how a first century Greek speaking Christian of Jewish descent would read John. He wouldn’t be thinking of the Logos as a person. That kind of thinking came later – in the second century. One way to understand John chapter 1 is to think in terms of predestination. Not the silly kind of predestination that Calvinists teach, but the ability to plan at one point in time and then being able to follow up at a future point in time. For example, if I buy green paint for my house, it’s not because I’m predicting that it will end up green, it’s because I am going to make sure it will end up green. When someone asks what color my house will be in a year (assuming I don’t get lazy and put it off for two years) I can predestinate what color it will be because I have a certain ability to make it happen. My logos is to have a green house. It’s through this logos I go to the paint store and buy the paint. If they try to sell me on a special for blue paint I’m going to say, “No thanks, that’s not according to my logos.” Being human, however (lazy in other words), I might not follow through with my plans, so to say I can predestinate is a bit of a stretch, but with God, that’s not a problem. His plans happen. His Logos is certain. An example in scripture of a predestined plan with regard to the person of Jesus is when it says in Revelation 13:8 that Jesus was the “Lamb slain from the foundation of the world.” Are we to believe that Jesus was actually slain in the Garden of Eden, or during creation? Of course not. This is a statement about God’s intention, how God had it in his mind from the beginning, in his Logos, that He would provide His Son to die on the cross for us. When God has a plan to do something, it’s as good as done so John speaks of it as a done deal from the beginning. He was “slain at the foundation of the world.” The beauty of the Gospel is that God’s plan as manifest in the person of Jesus involves much more than salvation. That is only the first step of faith in our walk with him. John 1 is just one of many scriptures that speak of a Logos, or plan beyond our salvation. God’s plan is also that we would become like Christ. We are continually being transformed into his likeness, being raised from one stage of glory to another by the power of God (2 Cor. 3:18). That is what the New Covenant is all about (Jer. 31:33). Though salvation is a glorious benefit, God’s plan is not that we all get saved. God’s plan is that we all move away from wickedness and toward Christlikeness. “Through him (the Logos) all things were made. Without him nothing was made that has been made,” (Jn. 1:3) is saying the same thing Paul said in Col. 1:16: “For in him were all things created, that are in heaven, that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created through him, and into him.” The principalities mentioned here refer to angelic and demonic powers and yes, both were created as part of God’s plan to form Christ-like character. The angels are like the carrot drawing us in that direction while the demons are like the hound chasing us in that direction. That’s a different picture than what we get from the idea that there is this cosmic war going on between the forces of evil and the forces of good – which in my mind is a silly idea if taken literally. There simply is no contest between an omnipotent God and anybody or anything else. It makes much more spiritual sense to think of demonic powers as helpless pawns in God’s grand scheme of forming godly character in his children. These teachings reinforce the idea that Jesus is the Logos, the Plan of God, and all things are made with that plan in mind. That Plan doesn’t stop with creation or the person of Jesus Christ. It doesn’t stop with our salvation. His Plan includes the formation of godly character in mankind in much the same way godly character was formed in that child born of Mary in Bethlehem. This character was “imprinted” into Jesus’ human character, according to Heb. 1:3, where Jesus’ human nature is likened to soft clay and God’s divine nature is likened to the hard stamp that imprints that clay in a wax seal. The result is seen in Rom. 8:29, “For whom he did foreknow (to submit to his ways), he also did predestinate to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn (read that, forerunner) among many brethren.” That is a beautiful promise, often obscured by the Calvinist interpretation which centers on who was chosen instead of to what certain people were chosen. The verse says nothing about God picking who will be saved, it is about God determining the future of those who are saved, and it is a glorious future we enjoy every day today. The Logos as a Person Originated in the Second Century How do we know John’s conception of Logos was that of a Plan that became a person, rather than a person who became a person of a different nature, aside from the fact that the common, dictionary meaning was that of something in someone’s mind? We know this because the idea of the Logos being a pre-incarnate person did not exist at the time of John’s writing. From where did this idea of the Word in John 1:1 being a person originate? To answer that we need to find the first person in history to consider a Logos to be a person rather than a thought because commonly held philosophical and theological ideas generally originate with one influential thinker. Justin Martyr, writing about 150 AD, would be that guy to introduce this way of thinking into the Christological discussions of the early church. Justin didn’t call the Logos a person, per se – that wording would come about 50 years later with Tertullian, and even then it wasn’t a person as we think of a person but more a modalistic manifestation of the one God – but he did think of the Logos as “numerically distinct from the Father” rather than being an aspect of the Father. He wrote “through the Word, God has made everything”. He also believed the Logos was “born of the very substance of the Father” and places the genesis of the Logos as a voluntary act of the Father at the beginning of creation. This of course would put him at odds with the later 4th century councils that adopted the Trinitarian idea of an eternal, un-created Son of God. That would make him to be a heretic with ideas closer to the arch-heretic Arius who promoted the idea of a created Son of God at the Council of Nicaea in 325 AD. Arius and his followers would of course end up getting exiled and banished to Illyricum for this kind of thinking because it didn’t line up with Emperor Constantine’s theology and his quest to get the church to align with it. The Logos as a Plan Originated in the 6th Century BC Prior to Justin Martyr in the mid-2nd century the only way people thought of the Logos was as a plan in God’s mind. There were no other options. This way of thinking was established by the Greek philosopher Heraclitus, who, according to Bible Study Tools on the Web, “first used the term Logos around 600 B.C to designate the divine reason or plan which coordinates a changing universe. This word was well suited to John’s purpose in John 1.” Philo, a Hellenistic Jewish philosopher and a contemporary of John who may have influenced John, took Heraclitus a step farther and defined a Logos as God’s creative principle or governing plan. These concepts had become so ingrained in the collective thinking of the first century Greek speaking world that the word logos could be defined as something in one’s mind only, or a word along with the thought behind the word. By the first century your average Greek or Greek speaking Jewish Christian would have this understanding of the word logos and would read John 1:1 this way: “In the beginning was the PLAN OF GOD, and the PLAN OF GOD was toward God, and the PLAN OF GOD was divine. This (plan) was in the beginning with God. All things came into existence through it (the plan), and apart from it (the plan), nothing came into existence. (skipping to verse 14) So the PLAN OF GOD became flesh and resided among us, and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the uniquely-begotten of the Father, full of grace and truth.” – (For the anarthrous use of theos meaning “divine” instead of “God” see W. E. Vine, Dana & Mantey, and Moffatt’s translation – four Trinitarians who don’t let their own theological conclusions interfere in their scholarship.) A logos is something in someone’s mind, and is translated in our Bibles as “intent,” “reason,” or “cause”, which is a bit removed from Heraclitus’ original use as a plan in God’s mind, but John is applying the term to God instead of men, so naturally your average Christian of that time would think of the Logos in John 1 as “Divine Intent” or a “Plan of God.” For John’s audience to think of the Logos as a divine person before he was a human/divine person they would have to be convinced by John himself, given the lack of contemporary influences. When you get past the English wording and drill into the Greek, John isn’t very convincing, except for those unwilling to accept any other alternatives for the meaning of Logos other than a “person.” And yes, there is a fair amount of bias against non-Trinitarian interpretations. There’s no question about that. John’s audience would not be thinking of the Logos as a person in a godhead. That idea came later, long after John died. John’s Gospel was written at a time when Jewish Christians dominated, even to a fault, the Christian church as can be seen by the problems caused by those who taught that the Gentile Christians should be circumcised. Though they had issues with the Law, these earliest Jewish Christians were solid in their monotheism and would not have entertained the possibility that God was anything other than ONE. When they twice daily recited the Shema: “Hear oh Israel, the Lord our God is One,” (Dut. 6:4) they never once thought of God as “3 in 1”. Had someone suggested it at the time they would have considered that to be at best an interesting adaptation of pagan polytheism and at worst a strange perversion. Nobody was suggesting it at the time. There is no historical evidence that any first century Christian even thought of the Logos of the Gospel of John in terms of it being a separate person apart from the Father, yet that is the common understanding of John 1:1 taught today. According to The Jewish Encyclopedia, “Judaism has always been rigorously unitarian.” Unitarian theology does not recognize a plurality in the godhead. The Encyclopedia of Religion states: “Theologians today are in agreement that the Hebrew Bible does not contain a doctrine of the Trinity. In the immediate post New Testament period of the Apostolic Fathers no attempt was made to work out the God-Christ (Father-Son) relationship in ontological terms.” They didn’t have anything to work out because they weren’t thinking of God being more than one person. Jesus was not in the godhead per later Trinitarian theology, but rather the godhead was in Jesus, according to Col. 2:9: “For in him dwells all the fullness of the Godhead bodily.” Regarding New Testament times, the New Catholic Encyclopedia says: “The formulation ‘one God in three Persons’ was not solidly established, certainly not fully assimilated into Christian life and its profession of faith, prior to the end of the 4th century. But it is precisely this formulation that has first claim to the title THE TRINITARIAN DOGMA. Among the Apostolic Fathers, there had been nothing even remotely approaching such a mentality or perspective.” The Apostolic Fathers were those who immediately followed the Apostles between 90 and 130 AD. Some of them were trained by the Apostles. Jesus and all of the apostles were strict Monotheists before Jesus began his ministry. After Jesus established a following among Jews, and after he was crucified, they were still considered to be a Jewish sect. They continued to be strict Jewish Monotheists – who followed Christ. When they recited the Shema, they didn’t think in their minds, “The Lord thy God is 3 in 1.” God was not 3 until much later. He was just one. Period. In order to get to a point in the 4th century when people thought of God as three persons they would first need a developed Logos Christology and think of Jesus as an eternal person of the godhead. According to the Catholic Encyclopedia, “The Apostolic Fathers do not touch on the theology of the logos; a short notice occurs in St. Ignatius only (Ad Magn. viii, 2).” Later, by 200 AD, instead of Shema-reciting Jewish Christians dominating the church as was the case for the first 150 years of the church it was non-Jewish Christians dominating who had been quite accustomed to Greek and Roman polytheism. Someone like Tertullian could introduce modalistic ideas of God manifesting himself with three faces, without much objection. He would have faced a lot of objections in the first century. Later, his idea of three faces combined with 2nd century ideas of the Logos being a separate person subordinate to God. That morphed into God being three persons in the sense that we understand “person” today, someone having his own will, and not just three different manifestations of the one God as conceived by Tertullian. It’s interesting to note that Tertullian, the first Christian to describe God with the number 3 around 200 AD and thus popularized the nomenclature for the doctrine of the Trinity, would not be accepted as a bona-fide Trinitarian after Nicaea and is actually considered a heretic by the Catholic Church for some of his other teachings. It was up to the church councils like the Council of Nicaea in 325 AD to fine tune the implications of a more developed Logos Christology by eliminating the widely accepted Subordinationism of Arius in favor of three co-equal, co-eternal beings, a rather novel concept at the time. Nobody was writing about this in the first or second centuries. This of course would not have been a necessary exercise in the fourth century had they stuck with an earlier, Unitarian conception of God who had a PLAN that was manifest with the advent of his Son. Once you go down that path of elevating the Son to a pre-incarnate person with absolute equality with the Father you then have to have several more councils to hammer out positions regarding the Son being both God and man, positions that are invariably self-contradictory and ultimately contrary to scripture, yet must be accepted if pre-incarnate existence and co-equality are accepted. By the way, the Council of Nicaea in 325 AD was not trying to come up with a biblical position on the godhead. That shouldn’t be surprising considering there was no Bible at the time. It was just trying to come up with a doctrinal position to please a Roman emperor who demanded one. All the bishops and Christian thinkers of the first few centuries had their own personal theology and were free to draw from any source to teach and authenticate their positions, and be at odds with anything in our current Bibles with impunity, since there was no canon of scripture until long after Nicaea. The bishops at Nicaea were not Evangelicals trying to figure out what positions were “biblical” long before there was a Bible. How could they? As a side note, many people have a wrong understanding about “Greek thinking” as if it’s always “bad” while Jewish thinking is “good” because the Greeks were pagans and God was trying to move these pagans away from paganism and into truth, and because of what Paul says in Colossians 2:8 – “Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ,” but the fact is even Jewish followers of Jesus, such as his very own apostles, borrowed concepts from the pagans if a concept was useful for explaining the one true God to a people wanting to understand more about Him, especially if the audience was pagan. Think of a helpful Greek philosophical concept as just one of many tools a teacher could pull out of his tool bag of ways to understand God. There were certainly Greek ideas Paul wanted his parishioners to avoid, such as the many “isms” like Hedonism, Asceticism, and Gnosticism, but we error in thinking Paul was laying out a general prohibition of all Greek philosophy including the ideas of Heraclitus 600 years earlier. Brad Jersak does a great job of digging into this a bit further in his article Pushing Back: ‘Greek Thinking’ vs. ‘Jewish Thinking’ is a Dualistic Error. In addition, this blog post lists a number of times when the Apostle Paul used Plato, Aristotle, Seneca, and others in his teachings: Paul and His Use of Greek Philosophy I also explain how Jesus made use of fables to teach truth in Jesus Used Fiction to Teach Truth. Jesus and the apostles did not have a problem with borrowing concepts from their secular, pagan culture. It’s similar to how we might use a scene from Star Wars to make a spiritual point in a sermon, as one of our local megachurch pastors likes to do. It is, however, a method that lends itself to people from a different clime and time misunderstanding intentions. It’s easy to grab a fourth century interpretation and read that into a first century text, and miss the point of the author of that text. Fortunately for us, we don’t really need to be swayed by or dependent on fourth century theologians and church councils or first century Jewish philosophers or sixth century BC Greek philosophers. We can just look up the meaning of Logos in the dictionary and see that a Logos is a plan. We can then read John’s Gospel and know that PLAN became a concrete reality in Bethlehem and even more so as God made him both Lord and Christ and the forerunner of all who would become like him. The 4th Century bishops that Emperor Constantine had corralled at his summer palace in Nicaea were either Trinitarians (or better, pre-Trinitarians) led by Alexander the Bishop of Alexandria or they were Arians who agreed with the elder from Alexandria named Arius, led by Bishop Eusebius of Nicomedia. They should have stuck to one question only: Was the Logos a Plan or a person prior to the incarnation? But that question wasn’t even on the table because at that time both parties assumed the Logos was a person prior to the incarnation. The question at hand then was, among other questions: Was the Logos a created person or an uncreated person? What we know now as the dictionary definition of Logos, thanks to Greek scholars like James Strong, was lost on the 4th century bishops. Imagine this: a group of lawyers from several different countries representing international businessmen co-authoring a legal document to establish a business in America. These lawyers only have a cursory understanding of English. Now imagine them trying to do this without translators or dictionaries explaining the meaning of the English terms they are using. Who would even attempt such a thing? They would all know they all need to be able to have the same understanding of those English terms in that legal document or else the proverbial you-know-what will eventually hit the fan and they will be seeing each other in court. Such was the case at the Council of Nicaea in 325 AD. Greek was only an international trade language, a first language to only a few. In the Christian Latin West, Greek became associated with “paganism” and regarded as an uncouth foreign language. Translators into Greek were available at the council for some of those who wanted to speak, but to further complicate matters some of the key Greek terms used in whatever biblical and non-biblical writings they were using to validate their positions, such as the Greek words for essence, substance, nature, and person, bore a variety of meanings drawn from pre-Christian philosophers. That can only entail misunderstandings. Then they coined a new term not used in scripture, homoousia, which literally means “same substance”, and could never fully agree on what they meant when they said Jesus was of the same substance as the Father. I don’t think anyone even knows today. If you’re thinking it was all a big theological mess you would be correct, and we are today barely even recognizing everybody had their reasons for what they believed and these folks should have just told the Emperor, “We’re going to love each other, allow for disagreements and freedom of speech and freedom of conscience, and when we get this stuff figured out and can come to an agreement we’ll get back to you. But don’t hold your breath. In the meantime we’ll pay our taxes and pacify the subjects of your glorious kingdom but we would appreciate it if you would just keep your unsophisticated nose out of our theological business, if you don’t mind, sir.” But no, the bishops saw in this Emperor an opportunity to further their own political agendas by harnessing the powers of the state at the expense of others and we are still picking up the pieces of the forced unity of their creeds and their anathemas (damnations to Hell), with Christians still at each other for differences of opinion about disputable matters.

Catholic Activity: Elementary Parent Pedagogy: Two Homes, Heaven and Earth — Building up Family Unity and Security Life here is a preparation for heaven. It is the parents' duty to teach our child to be aware of God's presence always. With the families breaking up and weakening, we must take steps to build up family unity and security within the home. The author provides some solid suggestions. We have two homes — one here on earth and one in heaven with God. Life here is a preparation for heaven. The supernatural life we live here is a beginning of the life hereafter. That is why good people die without fear. They know that they pass to a fuller life with God. Can you make your home so lovely that it will seem to be like a little taste of heaven here on earth below? Say often to yourself that your destiny and your child's destiny is to dwell with God in perfect happiness. And say to yourself that your duty is to begin here and now to teach your child to live in God's presence. When things go wrong in the house ask yourself: "Do we act as if God is in this house? Is this house a home, a garden enclosed, where children feel safe under the protection of loving parents, where one family dwells in peace and unity?" The Weakening Family The family is the God-made unit of society, an institution so powerful that it has lasted since the beginning of the world. Today it is weakening. People marry on an impulse, never thinking that marriage means founding a family. Then they divorce each other almost as readily; the family is split, and the children suffer. Or else parents rush off on trips and leave children to servants or neighbors or even alone. Parents become bridge and movie addicts and desert their families night after night. Offset by Catholic Family Against this type of family, stands the Catholic model, founded on a sacrament established by Christ. Marriage for life with no divorce — on this rock is built the Catholic family. That family can be a garden of the Lord, a place of boy and delight for father, mother, children. Since marriage cannot be terminated by man, even Catholic parents who have ceased to be enchanted with each other realize that they have a big job to make a success of the family, and that they can do so by drawing on the grace which God stands ready to give for the asking, grace in the form of courage and serenity and persistence in keeping the family happy and united. The family must possess solidarity. It must be a unit. Each child must learn to speak with pride of his home and parents and sisters and brothers. The child lucky enough to find himself surrounded by a loving family has a sense of security which psychologists agree is necessary for a happy childhood. How can we build up this security? How can we make the child feel himself one of the family group? A simple way is by doing things together. How many things can parents and children do together? - Say family prayers. - Go to Mass together. - Receive communion together as a family. - Have family reading. - Have family music and singing. - Go on trips and picnics in a group. - Clear off the snow, or rake up the leaves or weed the garden together (two or three of the family at least). - Play games together. We suggest that each family add to this list occupations in which the family can unite. Family Unity — Through a Family Interest To keep the children interested in home affairs is a sure way of preserving the unity of the family. We should aim to discover interests in which parents and children can share. One of these interests is pictures. A whole family may educate itself in art and learn the stories of the Old and New Testament by the simple and fascinating way of pictures. A family interest of this kind which can be shared by adults and children is invaluable in maintaining the close contact of earlier years. Recall our Purpose — Living in Two Worlds With the school term well begun we ought to make a fresh start on our big job, — creating a Catholic spirit in the home. It is wise to think a little of our aim. What shall we recall? We know that man lives in two worlds; his body walks the earth, while his soul in the fraction of a second can commune with God in another world, the supernatural world. There are people who live almost wholly in the natural world. There are many who morning and night might pass over in prayer to the other world. But parents should live in God's supernatural world a great deal more than they do. If they are close to God they will take their children with them. Have you not known people who are always aware of God's presence, of His care and protection, or who in trouble will at once say, "Yes, dear Lord, I bear this sorrow joyfully with You"? They are always seeing God's hand in the beautiful world. They look at the smiling faces of their children and see God there. They are miles and miles removed from those whose attention is absorbed in money, society, dress and all the rest that makes up "the world." A home with the supernatural attitude toward life is what we want for all Catholic families. A million such homes could set the country on fire with the desire for a better Christian life; a million supernatural-minded parents could clean up the movies, the radio, the magazines. The home where children breathe a supernatural atmosphere! How can we create it? Let us remind ourselves of a few points we have considered before: - Parents must live close to God. - They must set a good example in every word they speak and in every act they perform in their children's sight. - They would do well to remember all the suggestions made since January, which help to keep religion living and vital in the home, suggestions about: a. Prayers. b. Conversation. c. Family parties. d. Family altars. - They would profit by going through all of the preceding pages and writing out a list of things mentioned under the heading, "Things to do." - In particular, parents should remember that it is not enough to say, "Don't do this; don't do that." Say "Read this"; not "Don't read that." Say "Go to this movie," as well as "Don't go to that." Say "Suppose we go to the beach today," instead of "Where shall we go?" Time — Patience — Intelligence are required. If you have a job in a factory, shop or school you may not loaf on the job. At home, in the supreme job of bringing up the children, you may not loaf.

How Composting Toilets work. - Composting toilets use nature's decomposition process to reduce waste by 90% and convert it into nutrient rich compost. - They do not require water hook ups either which is great for our already stressed water supply. In short, composting toilets are a way to allow waste to decompose safely and without odors. - Composting toilets use oxygen loving bacteria that is naturally present in human waste to do all the work. - Bugs, worms, and other critters have absolutely NO role in BioLet's composting process. - You just use a BioLet like you would a regular toilet, toilet tissue and all. The main difference is you just toss in compost mix after each fecal use instead of flushing. The air flow inside the toilet pulls all odors up the 'chimney' and out of your home. - Composting reduces waste volume by 90%; the majority of the material inside the toilet is mulch and not waste. You do not even have to see it with the way BioLet is designed. Yes, you do have to empty the lower compost tray periodically, depending on how many people are using the toilet, but it is only compost, soil. There is no waste mixed in the tray. How Electric Biolets work When you raise the upper seat on the toilet you will see a "clam shell" cover called the compost cover. This hides any waste from view and automatically opens when the seat is depressed allowing the waste to be safely deposited into the compost chamber below. Inside the compost chamber is BioLet Starter Mix with a base of peat moss and pine wood shaving. After use, a small amount of BioLet Starter Mix is added to the toilet and the upper seat is lowered. A mixer automatically starts to turn mixing the waste with the BioLet Starter Mix and aerating the material already inside the chamber. This process creates a mixture with all the components required to induce aerobic decomposition (carbon, nitrogen, oxygen and moisture). An electric fan located in the back of the toilet continuously draws air into the toilet, through the seat, preventing any odors from escaping. This air is circulated throughout the composting chamber by BioLet's patented air recirculation process, allowing for maximum absorption of oxygen by the material inside the toilet. The more oxygen that is supplied to the aerobic bacteria, the more thoroughly and faster the waste will be transformed into humus. As the air is circulated through the unit, it is heated by a thermostatically controlled heater. The heated air evaporates the liquids in the toilet keeping the material inside at the proper moisture / carbon / nitrogen ratio for optimum decomposition. The moisture latent air is then vented to the outside through a vent pipe running from the toilet to the outside of the structure where the toilet is housed. As usage continues the "material" will continue to build up inside the composting chamber. When it reaches the upper leveling arm, it's time to empty the tray in the bottom of the unit (once every 2 months to a year, on average, depending on usage). Simply remove the thumbscrews from the door on the front of the unit, slide the tray out, and empty the dry, nutrient rich, ODORLESS humus. The humus can be leached into the soil around decorative plants or disposed of in an ordinary trash receptacle. How Biolet NE works If reliable power supply is not an option, the BioLet 30 NE is the way to go. Using a process called batch composting, the BioLet 30 NE can handle a high volume of usage. Batch composting is a process where you make a batch of material then remove it from service so the material can compost without anything new being added to it. The BioLet 30 NE has a compost cover and ventilation pipes described in the above models, but it works by applying a very different approach. A large compost bin is housed inside the lower portion of the toilet. The toilet is used until the bin is approximately 3/4 full. The top of the toilet is then removed and the bin is removed from the unit and moved outside for further composing. A secondary bin is then placed into the unit for continued operation. Air circulation through the unit occurs due to the natural convection of air through the ventilation pipe. This is induced by the heat that is produced by the composting process, temperature differentials between the inside and outside of the structure, and by the natural chimney effect created by the vent pipe. Installing an optional 12VDC fan into the vent pipe can induce additional circulation of air and increase the capacity of the unit.
In 1888, Sir Henry Parkes opened Centennial Park, bringing to fruition his vision of a green space for the people of Sydney and establishing an enduring asset for the community. Over the subsequent 130 years, Centennial Parklands has grown to encompass almost 360 hectares of land in the heart of a growing cosmopolitan city, providing the community with room to move, fresh air and a space to play. The Parklands has a planted population of approximately 15,000 trees, comprising 234 species, including natives and exotics. The challenge of managing trees in the Parklands The effects of drought, old age and urban impacts have taken their toll on many of these trees. Reports by independent arborists and the Centennial Park and Moore Park Trust (Trust) estimate that around 60% of these trees will need to be replaced over the next 40 years due to their terminal decline. To combat the inevitable tree loss, we are aiming towards planting 3,000 trees over the next 10 years. In 2017, 141 trees were planted throughout the Parklands. Similar numbers are aimed for each year to for our Annual Tree Planting program. Trees identified to be replaced will have reached the end of their Useful Life Expectancy (ULE), and there is nothing that the Parklands' Arborists can do to bring it back to its full bill of health or retain it safely. The Parklands takes a planned approach to managing its trees. It has developed a strong Tree Asset Management System complemented by a comprehensive Tree Replacement Program, based on its Tree Master Plan (Plan), amongst many other considerations to maintain and add to our diverse tree collection. The Plan sets out strategies for conserving the existing tree population and provides a framework for sensitively integrating new plantings into the Parklands' historic fabric. The Plan has identified that up to 200 new trees need to be planted each year over the next 10-20 years to maintain the tree populations in the Parklands. In the next 40 years, a large percentage of our tree population, especially those that are already mature or over-mature will need to be replaced due to their terminal decline. Gradual and priority based removal of the affected trees occurs year-round and is constantly reassessed as our dynamic site changes – with those identified as being in the worst condition (and/or hazardous to park visitors) being removed first. Refer to our blog, ‘The circle of (a tree) life to find out more about trees and the way we manage them at Centennial Parklands.
At the Keystone Center, societal issues are not viewed as problems, but challenges to overcome. A nonprofit organization headquartered in Keystone, the center focuses on bringing people together to discuss important national and local issues. The Keystone Dialogues identify timely policy issues and then bring in a panel of stakeholders and experts for discussion. The goal of the dialogues is to build a consensus among the participants in a non-confrontational and informative manner. The issues to be discussed come from the national government, the state government or groups of concerned or interested parties. Occasionally, the center itself identifies an important topic, and works to contact those involved. Though many of the dialogues revolve around highly technical discussions and are closed to the public, the center also puts on public engagement nights, in which anyone is invited to attend and listen to the discussion at hand. "We're proud of the results-oriented, problem-solving approaches we can bring to big societal issues," said Robyn Brewer, director of marketing communications at the Keystone Center. "Our goal is to shift the focus from oppositional approaches to shared decision-making processes." In addition to the policy work, the center offers many other services, particularly those dedicated to facilitating discussion. Its facilitation and mediation service was utilized in the early stages of Breckenridge's Peak 6 discussions, for example. It also assists companies in forming advisory boards, offers leadership training and development courses and provides joint fact-finding services to stakeholders. Education also plays an important role at the Keystone Center, which founded the Keystone Science School. The school offers camp programs during the summer, varying from daylong to weeklong schedules for both young children and teenagers. "We believe every child deserves camp," the Keystone Science School website states. "We bring in the added element of outdoor education, combining science, adventure and fun to create life-changing experiences for every child we serve." Throughout the year, school programs give students the opportunity to learn more about the environment, and methods of scientific inquiry. The goal is to teach students to develop critical thinking skills in a natural outdoor setting. Various community programs offer similar experiences to adults, both guests and residents of Summit County. Learning also never stops for teachers, and they can do so through the center's educator programs. There, teachers learn how to create unique and interesting science curricula for their students. "We don't just regurgitate textbooks," Brewer said. "We try to focus on issues that are current or relevant." The educator programs revolve around science, engineering, technology and math skills, with emphasis on such skills as critical thinking, teamwork and problem- solving. The trainings are free of cost to the teachers.
Consider a two allele system (A1 and A2) and let p and q represent the frequency of A1 and A2, respectively. Let wij represent the fitness of genotype AiAj (assume wij = wji for i ≠ j). Therefore, for this system w11 is the fitness of allele A1A1, w12 is the fitness of allele A1A2, and w22 is the fitness of allele A2A2. We can express the new frequency of A1 after one generation of selection using the rational function, where is the mean fitness of the population. We are interested in finding equilibrium values of p, in other words values of p such that p' = p, indicating no change in allele frequency in the next generation. Setting p' = p gives, Assuming p ≠ 0 we can cancel p on both sides of the above equation as, Bringing all terms to the right-hand side of the equation and substituting q = 1 - p gives the polynomial, Therefore, we have deduced that solutions to the above equations are equilibrium values of p (we are only concerned with biologically reasonable equilibria). Using fitness values: where c > 0 is a constant, answer the following questions.
A concept conceived by Don Collins Ever since its inception, the field of paranormal investigation has sought the respect and acceptance of the scientific community. In the beginning, methodology was sorely lacking in this field. Investigating ghosts or other paranormal activity consisted mainly of snapping photographs or consulting mediums. The belief in the other side led to a great interest in the Spiritualist movement. This movement served mainly to line the pockets of conmen claiming to have a special connection to the other side but did nothing to further the field of paranormal research. With the emergence of Harry Houdini onto the scene as a debunker of spirit phenomena things finally began to take a turn for the better. With the decline of Spiritualism, serious investigation of paranormal activity would take center stage.Perhaps the one man who is most responsible for many of the modern methods of ghost hunting in use today is Harry Price. Although he did not possess an advanced education, Mr. Price brought scientific methodology to the paranormal arena in a most successful fashion. He came up with the first so-called “ghost hunter’s kit” which included such things as still cameras, motion picture cameras, fingerprinting kits, and portable communication devices for use among investigators on a case. Harry Price’s methodology and instruments are still in use in some form or another to this day. In the 1950s, Duke University began its successful parapsychology program that also used scientific methodology to examine claims of the paranormal. Up to the present day, for the most part, paranormal research continues to use science to collect data in the quest to explain the paranormal. However, one thing is still lacking, a means of classifying or rating events as it specifically relates to so-called hauntings. This is where the “Collins Paranormal Index” comes in. Most reports on any investigation of an alleged haunted location will contain a lot of information. Such information includes weather data, environmental data, historical data, and empirical data. The purpose of such data is to aid in spotting patterns relating to locations experiencing activity. For example, if a researcher finds that a certain location always has an upsurge in activity during a full moon then that could be a significant pattern. If two or more different locations report similar occurrences and environmental factors then this may also be a significant pattern. The problem then becomes sorting through reports and finding similarities. For example, assume that a researcher is researching EVP phenomena. Up until this point, the researcher has had to comb through countless investigation reports searching for locations that meet his criteria. The Collins Paranormal Index or “CPI” greatly relieves the burden of the researcher in his task. By assigning an Index to each investigation summary the burden of sifting through and classifying reports is greatly eased for the researcher. The EVP researcher in this example merely needs to glance at the reports and select those which rate either a CPI 2 or CPI 3. One could take this a step further and mark all locations on a map according to their Index. If one finds that certain areas contain an abundance of a certain Index level, that may be a significant pattern. The Collins Paranormal Index is a scale composed of eight levels. An explanation of the workings of the index follows. CPI 0- no data or activity of any sort is experienced at a location. CPI 1 Environmental Anomalies – any type of minor fluctuation or manipulation of the immediate area. For example: flickering lights; EMF surges; power fluctuations; cold/hot spots etc CPI 2 General EVPs – the location produces EVPs of a general or random nature which are NOT in response to any questions asked. CPI 3 Direct EVPs – the location produces EVPs which DO respond specifically to questions asked. CPI 4 Primary Grouping – any combination of two or three of CPI 1, CPI 2, or CPI 3. A location that presents the required combination automatically becomes at least a CPI 4. CPI 5 Intelligent Environmental Manipulation– the location presents evidence of an intelligent presence upon request. For example: a knock or rapping is produced at the request of the investigator or a sensation of touch at one’s request. Any activity must be upon request to fit this index level. Activity NOT occurring at one’s request would most likely be debunked or relegated to CPI 1. However, activity NOT occurring at one’s request MAY be placed at this level if it is of a significantly “violent” or noticeable nature or is such that natural explanations are extremely unlikely. Such activity must be fully documented. CPI 6 Visual Evidence – Any type of visual evidence such as video, still photos, or personal sightings witnessed by more than one person. CPI 7 Physical Manipulation – the obvious movement of objects in the environment by intelligent design. For example: objects are thrown; items levitate; electrical appliances operate on their own accord. A request for this activity on the part of the researcher is NOT required. Strange odors and aromas could also be placed in this category. If the researcher is unsure as to whether movement is due to intelligent design, the activity may be relegated to CPI 6 CPI 8 Secondary Grouping – any combination of one or more Primary Group CPI 4 (CPI 1, CPI 2, or CPI 3) levels AND any one or more of CPI 5, CPI 6, or CPI 7 OR any two or more of CPI 5 CPI 6 or CPI 7 Explaining the scale The scale above excludes events have been explained by natural causes. The index DOES include events which remain unexplained. All events that cannot be explained by natural causes are then placed into the appropriate category. The scale is set up so that as one progresses from CPI 1 up to CPI 8 phenomena should become less typical or less apt to be natural in cause. Most investigators may have experienced some sort of environmental anomaly (CPI 1). Fewer researchers will have discovered EVPs in direct response to questions posed at an investigation (CPI 3). Fewer investigators yet will have evidence on film or video which cannot be explained (CPI 6). Even fewer investigations will produce Direct EVPs, visual evidence AND phsyical manipulation (CPI 8).
Event oriented programming is often said to produce spaghetti code which is difficult to debug. I believe these are skill-related issues, and the event-oriented programming model needs to be mastered like every other programming model. For example, signal processing diagrams in backend testing can help to document programs following the event-oriented model. Special debugging tools assign every callback a complete stack trace so that one can trace back the source of a given problem if he must. Non-blocking or asynchronous I/O allows the computation to continue while the input/ output operation is running. So it is, for example, possible to have multiple database queries running at a time. Input and output operations on the network or file can be extremely slow compared to the processing of data in memory. Most of I/O operations involve disc access in some form and spinning of discs is orders of magnitude slower than read/ write operations on an electronic circuit. There are different forms of non-blocking I/O like polling, signals, and callbacks. Greenlets or event lets in companies that offer testing services are an abstraction on top of an event loop. When using greenlets, one is programming in a blocking way, and the framework is using the event loop and a scheduler under the hood. The programming model is more like threads but avoiding resource consumption. A callback is a function, that is passed as an argument to I/O operation. Once the I/O operation is completed the part of the program which deals with the results of this operation is invoked. It is possible to use anonymous callbacks, but this is considered bad practice since it makes programs difficult to read. Therefore named callbacks are to be preferred over anonymous callbacks. The event loop, also called message dispatcher is a programming construct that waits for and dispatches events or messages in a program. It works by polling some internal or external “event provider”, which generally blocks until an event has arrived, and then calls the relevant event handler (“dispatches the event”). Ted Faison’s book “Event-Based Programming: Taking Events to the Limit” proved very helpful to me in understanding the ins and outs of event-oriented programming. The book follows a structured approach and is very well written. According to Faison, the event programming model is by far the superior programming model, especially for large software systems. Dependencies between software parts make large software systems complex and difficult to maintain. Dependencies have the biggest impact on software quality since the most complex parts also have the most dependencies. The event-oriented programming model helps you gain better modularization, so development, testing, and maintenance of parts of the system are more comfortable. Farson makes a point that by following the event-oriented programming, model complexity grows linear with the size of the system while you will experience exponential grows when following other models. If this proves to be true, this will be the biggest discovery in software engineering for the last decade.
Vitamin D could help the body fight infections of deadly tuberculosis (TB), according to doctors in London. A study in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences showed patients recovered more quickly when given both the vitamin and antibiotics. The idea of using vitamin D to treat TB harks back to some of the earliest treatments for the lung infection. Before antibiotics were discovered, TB patients were prescribed “forced sunbathing,” known as heliotherapy, which increased vitamin D production. However, the treatment disappeared when antibiotics proved successful at treating the disease. This study on 95 patients, conducted at hospitals across London, combined antibiotics with vitamin D pills. It showed that recovery was almost two weeks faster when vitamin D was added. Patients who stuck to the regimen cleared the infection in 23 days on average, while it took patients 36 days if they were given antibiotics and a placebo.
8 March 2012 Yesterday I posted a photo of the Tumbi Quarry site before the landslide. Today I thought I’d look at this image in a little more detail. The photograph was collected on 27th January 2010, i.e. almost two years before the landslide: For reference, lets compare this with the post-landslide image: So lets start with the quarry, and home in on the section of the new photo that shows the landslide source area (see image below). It is clear that the entirety of the workings in the pre-landslide photograph was destroyed in the landslide. The section of the quarry that survived (see the second photo) was upslope and across from the original workings – I have marked this as point a on the image below: It is quite helpful to take a look at the Exxon-Mobil plans for the development of the project, as highlighted in an earlier post: The dark grey area is the original quarry (as per the pre-landslide photo), the yellow is the new haul road up to the higher quarry section, and the light grey, light blue and green hatched areas are the new quarry, or lands to be cleared for quarrying. The plans appear to be more-or-less consistent with the configurations in the two photos. Note that the landslide appears to have destroyed most of the haul road, and it is somewhat unclear as to how much the new quarrying had expanded into the light grey area. A key question remains as to where the haul road was located, and where the quarry spoil was being dumped. Going back to the new photo, in the older (weathered) section there is clearly a stream issuing from the quarry face (marked as b on the image) – this water course is also shown on the map above. Let’s take a look at the land-use. The photo shows that most of the area that slipped was forested with mature trees, which agrees with the map above. There are some cultivated areas near to the main road, but these are for the most part not in the landslide area. The source area is densely forested, which suggests that it is unlikely that deforestation was the cause. I have previously noted that in such a deep-seated landslide, land-use change is unlikely to be a primary factor. There are some features in the landscape that are almost certainly small (but certainly not trivial) landslides. Point c on the image above is almost certainly a slip, and point d is probably another. Note though that in both cases these appear to be slips in soil or regolith, not in bedrock as per the main landslide. The most intriguing features remain these linear structures in the slope above the main quarry (point e). Superficially these look like either tension cracks or footpaths – from an image like this it is impossible to discriminate. I am erring slightly in favour of them being footpaths simply because it is hard to imagine a quarry being operated in an area with such tension cracks. So what does this tell us? Well, we can in effect rule out land use change as being a major factor in this landslide unless there was catastrophic felling between the image being collected and the landslide (and even then I do not believe that it would be a major factor in such a deep landslide). The presence of the stream suggests that the limestone was well-drained, but of course blockage of the source might have serious implications for the slope. The landslide has removed most of the quarry plus the associated infrastructure. It is impossible to say that the landslide was caused by the quarry, but it is also clear that there is nothing in the image that would definitely indicate that the landslide was not associated with it. The need for a proper independent inquiry Of course all of this indicates that there is a need for a proper, independent assessment of this landslide. I know that there are now moves by some to either try to get a court order to undertake such an investigation, or to commission such a process independently. Clearly either route would be expensive, so those involved are trying to raise the funds to support these efforts. We must remember that at least 25 people died in this event, and maybe many more. Personally, I would have thought that it is in the interests of all parties, including the quarry operators, to understabd what has happened here. It could well be that those responsible for the quarry are completely exonerated by such an investigation.
What happened to my Mandevilla? Thanks to Marie for this great question! Her Mandevilla is in a large pot, getting sun until about 2 in the afternoon. The leaves are yellowing and have some splotches, and some leaves are falling off. Well, Marie, there are definitely a few issues here that we can help with. First, the amount of sunlight. Mandevilla are tropical species, and although they do need more sunlight than many tropicals, they still can’t take the searing intensity of our sun here in Central Texas, and more importantly, they struggle in the moisture-sucking heat that comes with it. We have our Mandevilla in very bright shade in our Extension demonstration garden, and they perform very well. Leaves grown in shade tend to be darker green, so give your plant a good shearing, to remove the yellowing leaves and struggling growth, after you’ve moved it to a shadier spot. Then watch for the new growth, which should be slightly darker. Some of the leaf damage here is sunburn, but most appears to be photooxidation. When sunlight is very intense, it can burn sensitive leaves, causing brown spots, or sunburn. But before the leaf completely burns, you may notice yellowing leaves, which is a sign that the heat of the sun has denatured the chlorophyll. And since chlorophyll is a green pigment, less chlorophyll means less green. The smaller brown splotches here are likely secondary issues, possibly fungal, which move in once the plant is stressed and vulnerable. So Marie, move those containers to where they won’t get direct sun any later than mid-morning, and shear the plant to about 6 inches to force it to produce new, healthier growth. You’ll see improvement in no time.
A Mediterranean diet, high in fruits, vegetables, and legumes and low in processed foods, red meat, and sugar, was found to significantly reduce symptoms of depression in young men. Overall, the diet led to a reduction of 20.6 points on the depression scale thanks to the diet shift. Depression is a common mental health disorder that affects about 350 million people worldwide. In Australia, where the study was carried out, about one million adults experience depression in any given year. Depression can present differently in each individual and can trigger a number of different symptoms; in general, however, it includes feelings of unhappiness and loneliness, hopelessness, and low self-esteem. Depression can also have physical symptoms and can alter cognitive function. Standard treatment of major depressive disorder includes psychotherapies such as cognitive-behavioral therapy and anti-depressant medications. However, roughly 30% of patients fail to adequately respond to such medications and the effectiveness of antidepressants, in general, is hotly debated. Recently, researchers have started looking at the effect of lifestyle changes (especially dietary patterns), to see what effect they can have on patients’ mental health. The diet with the most evidence of having a positive effect on depressive symptoms is the Mediterranean diet. While observational evidence shows following a Mediterranean diet can reduce the risk of developing depression, only a few experimental trials have been done and they have all focused on older adults. With this in mind, researchers at the University of Technology Sidney in Australia wanted to determine if nutritional counseling could improve the diet quality, depressive symptoms, and overall quality of life of young adults with depression. This turned out to be the case. “The primary focus was increasing diet quality with fresh whole foods while reducing the intake of ‘fast’ foods,” lead researcher Jessica Bayes said in a statement. “Medical doctors and psychologists should consider referring depressed young men to a nutritionist or dietitian as an important component of treating clinical depression.” Diets and depression Study participants were recruited from Australia over an 18-month period. They were randomized to receive either dietary support or befriending. Participants in both groups did assessments at the start of the study, in the middle (week six), and at program completion, which the researchers used to reach overall conclusions. The group shifting to the Mediterranean diet experienced a mean reduction of 20.6 points on the depression scale at the end of the study. The researchers also found that 36% of the participants shifting diets reported low to minimal depressive symptoms. Improvements to the physical quality of life were also reported in the same group. “There are lots of reasons why scientifically we think food affects mood. For example, around 90% of serotonin, a chemical that helps us feel happy, is made in our gut by our gut microbes. There is emerging evidence that these microbes can communicate to the brain via the vagus nerve, in what is called the gut-brain axis,” Bayes said in a statement. While the results are promising, the researchers warned that dietary change usually comes with many challenges, and compliance over the long term poses significant difficulties. For example, previous studies have shown that men rate healthy behaviors as less important than women, leading to difficulties in engaging them in dietary shifts. In addition, for people experiencing severe depression symptoms, adhering to a specific diet can be a daunting and very difficult task, and any such interventions will require careful planning. The study was published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition. If you are experiencing feelings of depression, please contact your national health service and/or seek a helpline.
Here’s a brief jewelry vocabulary guide, I would like to eventually expand with the help of our awesome readers! Bezel – The metal around a stone that keeps it in place, e.g. sterling silver bezel. Bezel set – Stone kept in place by the use of prongs. Cut – The type of shape the gem is ‘cut’ into. The cut is either faceted or non-faceted, e.g. cabochon cut. Here’s a brief guide to cuts, more to come later. Cut is graded into excellent, very good, good, fair, and poor cuts. - Brilliant Cut– It’s a facet cut that ensures that when light reflects, it gives a unique burst of brightness, almost like radiating fire. - Cabochon– A stone that is flat at the bottom, but round on top; smooth without facets like a pebble - Fancy Cut– Several possible shapes, such as kite-shaped, lozenge shaped, triangular. - Mixed Cut– Usually rounded in outline, cut as brilliants with pavilions step-cut. Rubies and sapphires are the easiest to shape into a mixed cut. - Step Cut – Step cuts come in a variation of shapes; oval, square, octagons, baguettes, and general table cuts. The step cut is also known at the ‘emerald cut’. This cut intensifies the hue of a color. Carat – A measurement of gem weight. Clarity – Gemstone grading; a lower amount of clarity signifies stones for of inclusions and less pleasing to look at. |Grade||FL||IF||VVS1, VVS2||VS1, VS2||SI1, SI2||I1, I2, I3| |Description||Flawless||Internally Flawless||Very Very Slightly Included||Very Slightly Included||Slightly Included||Included| |Clarity Scale||0||0||1, 2||3, 4||5, 6||7, 8, 9, 10| Cavities –Formed during initial gem growth stages, inclusions filled with liquid, gasses, or solids. Faceted – Jeweler cut sides, the polished planes of a gemstone. Gauntlet – A bracelet that is oval and firmly set, with an opening in the back. Gem – polished, cut precious stone used in jewelry. Gem shape – Somewhat like a cut, but referring to the shape of the stone. E.g. pear cut, trillion cut, and cushion cut. Gemstone – Semiprecious or precious stone polished and cut to use as a gem. Inclusions – Internal flaws or blemishes; often associated with clarity. Inclusions are also used to identify types of stones. Inclusions are divided into three categories, cavities, solids, and growth phenomena. Growth Phenomena – Hollow cavities fill by iron components; examples: solid crystals, naturally occurring glass. Jewels – Polished and cut precious stone; gem. Karats – Measurement of gold weight. Marcasites –Crystalline pyrites cut/shaped to look like diamonds, popular kind of jewelry from the 1700s to the 1800s until in the 1900s marcasites were cut from class and metal. Metal – Sterling silver, silver toned, silver plating, yellow gold, white gold Ring Size – Ring gauge in circumference, varies by country. Treatment – Done to change the shade, hue, or variance of a stone. Different treatments include oiling, heating, irradiation, dying, bleaching, coating, impregnation, filing, lasering, etc.

Stage 8 Stage 9 Stage 10 This week’s blog is about mixed conditionals. We sometimes mix the structure of conditional sentences. Generally, this is done by mixing the second and third conditionals. Firstly it is important to know the structure of these conditionals. The 2nd Conditional is: “If + Past Simple + Would Do”. The 3rd Conditional is: “If + Past Perfect + Would Have Done”. When we are thinking about an action in the past and the consequence of that action now, we use the following construction: If + Past Perfect + Would Do (Would Be Doing). This is a mixture of the 3rd Conditional and the 2nd Conditional. Here are some examples: “f I had gone to bed early last night, I would feel better now”. This means that I didn’t go to bed early last night and therefore I don’t feel well now. The action is in the past but it has a consequence now. The result now is how I feel. “If they had eaten breakfast, they wouldn’t be hungry now”. This sentence means that they did not eat breakfast and therefore the result now is that they are feeling hungry. Again, the action happened in the past and the result is being felt now. “If you hadn’t studied for the exam, you would not be able to take it today”. In this example, it is clear that the person has studied and therefore they will be able to do the exam now. When we are thinking about a situation in the present and the consequence of that situation now, we use this construction: “If + Past Simple + Would Have Done (Would Have Been Doing). This construction is one that most people find more difficult to understand. Usually, when we use this conditional, the present situation is a general one, meaning one that doesn’t really change. For example, “If he wasn’t the boss’s son, he would have been sacked”. Clearly he will always be the boss’s son and therefore this present situation is a general one. In this example you can see the construction uses the past simple followed by ‘would have’ and a past participle. Here is another example: “If you weren’t so busy these days, you would have been able to come to dinner last night”. This means that the person is generally busy and this present situation has a result in the past, in this case the person was not able to attend dinner the night before because they are generally busy. One more example of this is: “If he was a politician, he would not have given us a straight answer”. This means that he is not a politician and therefore did give us a straight answer. The present situation, affected what happened in the past. Practise these constructions as they are often used.

Let's think together: Every week the World Bank team in Tanzania wants to stimulate your thinking by sharing data from recent official surveys in Tanzania and ask you a couple of questions. This post is also published in theTanzanian Newspaper The Citizen every Sunday. About 70 per cent of the world’s 1.4 billion extreme poor rely on livestock to sustain their livelihood, according to the Food and Agricultural Organization (FAO, 2009). Not only does livestock provide meat and milk for consumption, it also helps increase agricultural productivity through manure which is an organic fertilizer and draft power. Because it can be readily marketed to generate income, livestock also reduces the vulnerability of poor households to external shocks. But this crucial resource is also susceptible to many risks including drought, disease, and theft. In Tanzania, as of October 2010, there were more than 17 million heads of large livestock (bulls, cows, heifers, steers), more than 21 million of medium-sized livestock (sheep and goats or shoats), close to 2 million pigs, and over 50 million heads of poultry. As a result, about 5 million Tanzanian households, or close to 58 per cent of them, reported owning at least one kind of livestock, with the larger proportion of them in rural areas (3 out of 4 households) than in urban areas (one out of 4). Approximately, 25 per cent of rural households owned a large livestock compared to less than 4 per cent of urban households. Unfortunately, many Tanzanian households cannot fully benefit from their livestock because most of them are exposed to disease and theft. With less than 30 per cent of owners reporting having vaccinated their livestock over the previous 12 months, morbidity rates in 2010/11 were as high as 42, 29, 20 and 58 per cent for cattle, goats, pigs and poultry respectively. In 2010/11, the toll on livestock from disease and theft was staggering: - Diseases claimed more than 1.4 million cattle and 3.4 million shoats. - More than 80,000 heads of cattle and half a million shoats were stolen. - Poultry were even more exposed to diseases and theft with a loss of more than 30 million. The total loss from disease and theft for all livestock was estimated at Sh649 billion of which Sh572 billion was just from disease. This amount is equivalent to about 2 per cent of GDP and 8.3 per cent of agricultural GDP. These two plagues hit poor rural households harder with more than 55 per cent of them having experienced loss compared to 37 per cent of households in the richest quintile. Livestock theft and disease cost more than 6 per cent of average total household consumption. In addition, 8.5 per cent of the poor in 2010/11 were pushed into poverty by the loss of livestock, adding more than 800,000 people into these ranks. This raises a number of questions: - What prevents farmers from investing more in the protection of their livestock, especially through vaccination programs? Should government invest more in veterinary services to tackle livestock disease? - Should investment in new technologies, such as GPS, be considered to help track stolen livestock as experimented in Kenya? Or does this just require stronger law enforcement? - What role can insurance products play in strengthening the livestock sub-sector? - Should government subsidize livestock insurance or vaccination programs? Note: These statistics are extracted from the 2009 FAO State of Food and Agriculture report and the Tanzania National Panel Survey 2010/11. Both are publicly available and can be readily replicated.
From its inception in 1970s, the IVR technology has kept on supporting the companies across the world in enhancing their communication with the customers. Interactive voice response or IVR is a system in which there is interaction of computers with humans which is operated through a combination of software, telephonic equipment and databases. The technology is used in multiple sectors like banking, hospital, retail, hospitality and restaurants etc. Technology Used in IVR Speech recognition and DMTF are two basic technologies which are used to receive the input into IVR system. In DMTF method, the button pressed by the user on phone acts a signal for the computer. These signals are interpreted by computer using telephony card. A suitable response is then generated by the computer which is heard by the caller.
Environmental, biological and anthropogenic effects on grizzly bear body size: temporal and spatial considerations © Nielsen et al.; licensee BioMed Central Ltd. 2013 Received: 3 April 2013 Accepted: 6 September 2013 Published: 8 September 2013 Individual body growth is controlled in large part by the spatial and temporal heterogeneity of, and competition for, resources. Grizzly bears (Ursus arctos L.) are an excellent species for studying the effects of resource heterogeneity and maternal effects (i.e. silver spoon) on life history traits such as body size because their habitats are highly variable in space and time. Here, we evaluated influences on body size of grizzly bears in Alberta, Canada by testing six factors that accounted for spatial and temporal heterogeneity in environments during maternal, natal and ‘capture’ (recent) environments. After accounting for intrinsic biological factors (age, sex), we examined how body size, measured in mass, length and body condition, was influenced by: (a) population density; (b) regional habitat productivity; (c) inter-annual variability in productivity (including silver spoon effects); (d) local habitat quality; (e) human footprint (disturbances); and (f) landscape change. We found sex and age explained the most variance in body mass, condition and length (R2 from 0.48–0.64). Inter-annual variability in climate the year before and of birth (silver spoon effects) had detectable effects on the three-body size metrics (R2 from 0.04–0.07); both maternal (year before birth) and natal (year of birth) effects of precipitation and temperature were related with body size. Local heterogeneity in habitat quality also explained variance in body mass and condition (R2 from 0.01–0.08), while annual rate of landscape change explained additional variance in body length (R2 of 0.03). Human footprint and population density had no observed effect on body size. These results illustrated that body size patterns of grizzly bears, while largely affected by basic biological characteristics (age and sex), were also influenced by regional environmental gradients the year before, and of, the individual’s birth thus illustrating silver spoon effects. The magnitude of the silver spoon effects was on par with the influence of contemporary regional habitat productivity, which showed that both temporal and spatial influences explain in part body size patterns in grizzly bears. Because smaller bears were found in colder and less-productive environments, we hypothesize that warming global temperatures may positively affect body mass of interior bears. KeywordsBear Silver spoon Environmental effects GPS radiocollar Temporal and spatial heterogeneity Understanding how spatial and temporal heterogeneity of environments affect life-history traits and the growth of individuals has been a central theme in ecology and population biology [1–3]. Among other measures of phenotype, body size for many species is highly variable across different spatial and temporal scales, which illustrates the importance of environmental heterogeneity on the growth of individuals and populations. Understanding how these spatial and temporal dynamics affect phenotypes is critical to helping identify and prioritize management actions for many species of special concern, especially in today’s rapidly changing world. There is little argument that spatial heterogeneity of environments shape populations by affecting population density, fitness, dispersal and behaviour [4–6]. Indeed, such relationships are a cornerstone of landscape ecology [7, 8] and habitat selection theory [9, 10], and form the basis for natural-resource-management. Inter-annual variability in environments creates pulsed-resource dynamics that affect many animal populations [11–13] by affecting primary productivity [14–16] and the frequency and intensity of landscape disturbances [17, 18]. For example, climatic oscillations that impact plant productivity will in turn affect primary consumer populations [1, 19, 20] and thus other trophic levels dependent on primary consumers [21, 22]. For consumers that are specialized on fruit (frugivores), which often exhibit supra-annual variation in productivity [23, 24], climate conditions can have an important effect on population dynamics and the health of animals. For example, masting events or mast failures are often signalled by climatic conditions [25–28]. On Barro Colorado Island in Panama, warm ENSO events stimulate fruit masting in tropical trees resulting in population increases of frugivore species [14, 29]. Likewise, acorn production for many species of oaks in the USA and cones for spruce in Canada are known to mast synchronously across broad spatial scales [30–32] having profound effects on consumer populations [21, 33, 34]. Increasingly, it appears that such inter-annual variations have long-term effects on individuals, particularly for those experiencing boom or bust conditions during early life. In fact, conditions during in utero or natal periods can be as, or more, important than recent conditions on animal health and fitness [35–37]. This phenomenon is referred to as the “silver-spoon” effect as it emphasizes the importance of being born into “rich” environments . Since resource conditions vary among years for nearly all ecosystems, populations often exhibit cohort effects that structure population dynamics [1, 39]. For instance, cone production in white spruce during natal periods and temperature during in utero conditions had long-lasting effects on red squirrel reproductive success in the Yukon of Canada . Likewise, population growth of stoats in New Zealand beech forests is dependent on masting . One species that inhabits highly variable environments with limited resources relative to their dietary needs and large body size are grizzly (brown) bears (Ursus arctos L.) . All the calories necessary to survive and reproduce are acquired in the approximately seven months that they are active prior to about five months of fasting in a den. The importance of limiting resources and phenotypic plasticity is further emphasized by nearly a 10-fold difference in adult body mass across the species’ range . Most often, grizzly bears rely on the seasonal or inter-annual pulsing of high-calorie resources, such as salmon in coastal ecosystems [42–44] or hard and soft mast in interior populations [45–47]. Not surprisingly, body size in bears varies accordingly [48, 49], having ramifications to both survival [43, 50, 51] and reproduction [48, 52, 53]. Given these resource demands and the existence of environmental uncertainty, grizzly bears have evolved a reproductive mechanism to compensate for these factors – the delayed facultative implantation of the fertilized egg dependent on autumn body condition [54–56]. Understanding body size-environment relations is therefore critical to understanding population processes in grizzly bears, particularly reproductive success and population growth.

Landscape change Annual rate of habitat change Grizzly bear observations We used three measures of body size to represent short- to long-term measures of growth: mass; length; and body condition. Body condition was estimated using a body condition index where mass is measured relative to length . Although we had multiple capture events for some animals, we only used the most recent capture because it maximized the range of ages considered. All captures and handling were done on public lands with permits and the capture and handling procedures approved by the University of Saskatchewan’s Committee on Animal Care and Supply (Permit Number: 20010016) following guidelines provided by the American Society of Mammalogists’ Animal Care and Use Committee and the Canadian Council on Animal Care for the safe handling of wildlife. Age, sex and reproductive status (with or without offspring) of each animal was recorded. Number of times captured and density were also considered as response variables for body size measures. The local-population density was indexed as the number of genetically identified individuals surrounding a radiocollared bear [48, 53]. Each bear was assigned a single geographic centroid based on their GPS telemetry locations and a buffer around this centroid based on the radius distance of the average daily movement rate of that animal’s sex-age class (4340 m to 10380 m radius). The number of detections of unique bears within each circular buffer was then estimated from DNA hair-snag information collected within 7x7km grids in 2004 to 2008. These counts were divided by the proportion of the buffer overlapping the DNA survey grid, and by the probability of capture (derived from data of the closest observed distance of GPS collared bears to known bait sites – see 67), which varied by the age, sex and reproductive status of the individual being detected, and the DNA survey stratum . Regional environmental productivity was estimated for each bear at their home range centroid location based on monthly temperature and precipitation normal (or average) from 1971 – 2000 estimated with the software ClimateAB . ClimateAB measures of climate normals are downscaled ANUSPLIN-interpolated monthly normal data (2.5 x 2.5 arcmin) using local weather-station data and an elevation lapse-rate adjustment . Monthly climate normals for precipitation and temperature were considered for four seasonal periods (winter, spring, summer and growing season) and for the two individual months of March and July that represented late winter conditions affecting snowpack at high altitudes and peak primary productivity respectively (Table 1). We also considered ecosystem type (i.e., alpine, subalpine and foothills) as a surrogate of regional productivity based on habitat use (exposure at three possible zones of influence) measured from GPS radio-telemetry information. Zones of influence considered around each telemetry location included the local habitat-patch (HP) scale at the 30 m raster resolution, a flight-response (FR) scale of a 300 m radius representing exposure to direct human activity , and a landscape-encounter (LE) scale representing the average daily movement rate by sex group (scale or radius buffer). We measured inter-annual variations in environments using ClimateAB by estimating temperature and precipitation by month at each animal’s home range centroid from the time (year) prior to birth (Bt-1) to the year of capture (Ct 0); due to missing data (i.e. locations prior to GPS collaring) and computational considerations, we are making the assumption that home range centroids have not changed over time or if changed that local variation in climates are small (see Discussion). The inter-annual variation (anomalies) was estimated as the absolute deviation in temperature and precipitation from 30 year (1971–2000) climate normals over the range of birth years observed in sampled bears for the same home range centroids again using ClimateAB . By using anomalies rather than actual climate observations, we separated effects associated with regional productivity (climate normal) from inter-annual fluctuations (anomalies). Inter-annual variability was measured for: (1) maternal conditions (one year prior to birth; B t-1 ); (2) in-utero and natal conditions (birth year and yearling; B 0 and B t+1 ); and (3) conditions during or prior to capture (Ct-1 and C0) (Table 1). Local habitat quality was measured as habitat use (GPS telemetry) at the three scales of exposure (HP, FR and LE) for nine different measures of habitat quality reflecting the association of grizzly bears with disturbed and productive environments [72–74]: canopy cover, variation in canopy cover, deciduous canopy cover, amount of shrub habitat, forest age, forest age variation, amount of regenerating forest, variation in regenerating forest age and terrain soil wetness (Table 1). Non-linear effects were considered for canopy cover, deciduous canopy cover, forest age, amount of regenerating forest used and terrain soil wetness since intermediate amounts of these habitat conditions are normally preferred [72, 74, 75]. We used regional measures of human footprint and activity including the amount of habitat use associated with private lands (i.e., Alberta’s whitezone; see ), protected areas and high- or low-risk habitats based on a mortality risk and safe harbour habitat models , density of linear-access features, and distance to nearest human feature or recent energy wells (Table 1). Since we did not expect body size to be affected by human features and recent energy wells beyond local effects (distances), we developed exponential decay functions for each distance variable using parameters of 300 m, 1 km and 3 km. A cost-weighted distance to roads was also considered where cost was defined by terrain ruggedness (a continuous variables accounting for change in elevation) under the assumption that more rugged areas near roads would be less penetrable to humans and thus experience lower human activity. Annual rate of landscape change was measured as the annual change (%) in habitat composition using annual remote sensing of major habitat types and anthropogenic features including roads, clear-cuts and energy well-pads . We used the HIREG module for the software STATA 11 to estimate hierarchical regressions of body size based on the six main hypothesized drivers of growth. This approach was taken in order to partition variances and test for differences among the main hypothesized factors, and account for multiple measurement variables within each hypothesized factor (block) using variable ‘blocking’ approaches. The order of hierarchical regression model considered was: (1) biology effects including density-dependence; (2) regional habitat productivity; (3) inter-annual variation in environments in the form of maternal [(year before birth), in utero (year of birth) and natal (year after birth)] and capture effects (year of and before capture); (4) local habitat quality; (5) human footprint; and (6) landscape change. This order reflects the need to first control for biology before examining residual variance due to environment. We chose more regional measures of environment before inclusion of local measures of environment in the hierarchical order of blocks. No interactions among blocks were considered. For each hierarchical category, we selected predictors (i.e. block of variables) based on a forward step-wise regression procedure of variable blocks using a p < 0.1 significance level . An F-test was used to determine whether changes to the coefficient of variation (R2) among the main hypothesized factors for each block were significant.

Similar to body mass, age (as non-linear quadratic function) and sex explained a large amount (61.3%) of the variation in body length. Regional-habitat productivity explained an additional 6.6% of variation in body length (F = 13.3, df = 1, 65, p <0.001) based on average springtime (May-June) temperatures. Bears associated with warmer spring temperatures were more likely to be longer. Inter-annual climate variability – based on maternal and natal effects – explained an additional 4.2% of variance in body length (F = 4.7, df = 2, 63, p <0.001). Body length was positively related to warmer summer (July-August) temperatures during maternal periods and warmer spring temperatures during the year of birth (Table 2). Habitat quality and human footprint were not related to body length, but there was a positive association with landscape change (annual rate of change in habitats associated with human disturbances) adding an additional 3.2% of model variance explained (F = 8.1, df = 1, 62, p <0.001). Density, number of captures and human footprint did not influence body length. Biological and environmental factors explained 60.0% of model variation (R2, F = 14.7, df = 7, 68, p < 0.001) in springtime body condition (Table 2, Figure 3). Although body condition represents a standardized mass by length of animal, a non-linear (quadratic) age relationship with body condition was still apparent. Adult females were more likely to have a lower body condition than subadult or adult male bears, and this relationship was more pronounced if a female had cubs. Bears captured multiple times were in lower body condition than bears captured only once. Overall, the biological (including capture effects) base model accounted for 47.7% of the variance in body condition. Unlike mass and length measures, regional productivity did not affect body condition. Effects of inter-annual climate variability were observed with higher-than-normal July precipitation during the year of birth inversely related to body condition (Table 2):, this accounted for an additional 4.5% of the remaining model variance (F = 6.5, df = 1, 69, p = 0.013). Local habitat quality, as measured by use of habitats containing greater variation in regenerating forest age, was positively related to observed body condition (Table 2) and explained an additional 7.8% of model variation (F = 13.3, df = 1, 68, p = 0.001). Density of bears, human footprint, and landscape-change were not related to body condition. Biological factors and body size Measurements of body mass and length of grizzly bears in Alberta were strongly dependent on intrinsic biological factors: age (positive, non-linear relationship) and sex (males > females). Age, sex and offspring dependence were important factors affecting body condition, which is a short-term measure of growth. Adult females, and especially adult females with cubs of the year, were likely to be in poorer condition than male bears. A negative effect of capture history (number of captures) was also observed for body condition measures which is consistent with previous observations . Although population density (density dependence) is known to inversely affect body-size patterns in animals [80–82], no density dependent effects on body size patterns of grizzly bears were observed in our study. Grizzly bear populations in Alberta are likely to be below carrying capacity given locally high rates of human-caused mortality [83, 84], and were recently classified by the province as ‘threatened’ given the low observed population densities . This is in contrast to brown bears in Sweden that are considered healthy , but where body sizes of adult female bears are inversely related to population density . Temporal and spatial environmental heterogeneity Environmental heterogeneity is an important mechanism by which animal populations are regulated . Here, we found that regional heterogeneity in habitat productivity was a moderate predictor of body size patterns of grizzly bears in Alberta. The smallest bears by mass and length occurred in the least-productive and coldest environments as measured by alpine habitat use and home ranges occupying both cool average spring temperatures and high average March precipitation (snowfall). In the Canadian Rocky Mountains, all three of these factors are associated with late timing of spring snowmelt and plant emergence, which are known to affect population dynamics of other alpine mammals . Since den emergence in grizzly bears in our area typically occurs in April to early May , the amount and timing of spring snowpack is likely a factor affecting the availability of early season food resources such as roots , and generally might restrict access to early spring food resources. Inter-annual variations in climate during the years’ prior, during and/or just following birth (maternal, in-utero and natal environments, respectively) also affected adult body size. Such silver-spoon effects by which animals that are born into ‘rich’ conditions are favoured throughout life are consistent with observations in other mammals including polar bears , Soay sheep , red squirrels and caribou . Common among these studies is the importance of winter and spring climate during (natal environments) or just prior (maternal or in utero environments) to the year of birth, which we also observed in this study. Winter and spring climate is related to summer drought conditions in the Canadian Rocky Mountains , which suggests that the effect of winter and spring climate may not necessarily be directly associated with the denning period, but rather summer environments when water is limiting. We are unsure, however, how late summer precipitation affects cubs-of-the-year. It may be related to late summer food resources, such as fruit production, or affect food-resource abundance in the following year when bears are yearlings. Further, winter precipitation (December-March) anomalies during the natal birth year were positively related to body mass. We interpreted this as snow cover during winter denning providing energetic benefits (e.g. insulation) in the den for cubs of the year. During the year prior to birth, late summer (July-August) temperature anomalies were negatively associated with body mass but positively associated with body length in grizzly bears. This late-summer environment may have affected maternal body condition prior to denning and thus subsequent condition of offspring [e.g. 53] or conversely, it may have affected the following years’ food supply during the cub-of-year period, since lag effects in fruit production are caused by weather conditions favourable to flower primordia in the mid-to-late summer period the year prior to fruiting . Although we cannot be certain which factor is more important, the fact that body mass is negatively associated with late-summer temperature anomalies, where as body length is positively associated with late-summer temperature anomalies suggests to us that maternal condition is less likely (as we would expect similar responses in body mass and length if it were solely a maternal effect). Further investigations of mid and late-summer weather on pulsing in food resource abundance the following year are needed, especially in regard to the apparent opposite effects on bear mass and length. One important consideration to our purported silver spoon effect should be discussed: that is, we have no information on our study animals prior to their first capture. This has two important implications: 1) we cannot account for litter size effects, and 2) the centroid data used to determine natal climatic conditions may not be reflective of the actual natal location. In regards to the former, not accounting for litter size should inflate the variance around our estimates. For the centroid data, this would likely only influence dispersing males, as females are philopatric . For males, average dispersal distances in the province are under 50 kilometers , thus still largely reflective of the climate in the centroid of the current home range (differences in climates among bears are mainly regional in effect, not within populations). Further, for this limitation to bias our results, males would consistently have to disperse to poorer environments, again something we deem unlikely. Thus, we argue that the silver spoon pattern is unlikely to be altered by these factors in such away that the statistical pattern would disappear. Human footprint did not directly relate to body size patterns of grizzly bears, but human activity indirectly affected body size by influencing habitats. The two most important measures of habitat quality were canopy closure and the age structure of forests. Bears that used habitats associated with higher canopy variability, such as forest/non-forest landscapes in the mountains or expanses of old growth forests with a recent, single-harvest sequence, had lower body masses. Conversely, bears that used forests with higher variability in regenerating forest age had higher body condition. Likewise, body length was positively related to annual landscape change. Taken together, these results suggest that human activities that fragment forests are positively associated with body size measures, although survival of bears in these environments is compromised due to high rates of human-caused mortalities [57, 84]. Early successional and highly variable forests are therefore important indicators of improved habitat quality for bears given the relationship to body size patterns reported here, habitat use studies and measures of food resource abundance [73, 74]. We hypothesize that positive associations between body size patterns and variability in regenerating forest age are due in part to local landscape patterns in protein availability. For instance, both ungulate and ant resource use in Alberta are associated with disturbed forests [46, 74]. While bear body size is largely dictated by age and sex, it only accounted for about 50% of the variation. More consideration of the spatial and temporal patterns of resource availability, including the conditions early in life, is needed to better understand individual performance of animals and population dynamics. For grizzly bears in Alberta, environmental effects on body size are most affected by regional environmental gradients (space) and the environmental conditions animals are born into (time). Local-habitat heterogeneity (particularly young, patchily disturbed forests), and landscape dynamics also had a small influence on body size. It is important to emphasize that while patchily disturbed forests positively affected body size, these areas also have high rates of mortality, which could negate any positive population-level effect. Worldwide, relationships between carnivore body size and climate warming show ambiguous trends ; however, polar bears body sizes have recently declined, which has been attributed primarily to loss in habitat (i.e., sea ice as a platform for hunting; [96, 97]). Despite unequivocal global patterns , a 50 year examination of regional studies showed that carnivore body sizes have generally increased over the past half century . Given the short season associated with high-alpine environments, such as the Rocky Mountains in Alberta, we hypothesize that individuals with a limited growing season and temperature-limited ecosystems, such as interior grizzly bears, might actually benefit from increases in season length associated with climate change. This prediction is largely consistent with observed body size and seasonality patterns in grizzly bears across North America , but may be dependent on sufficient snow cover during the denning period. In conclusion, we have demonstrated a complex interplay of biological, spatial and temporal factors on body size that collectively explained between 60 and 84% of the variation seen in Alberta’s grizzly bears.

Up in Arms About What Is a Term Math? Finding out how to manage a linear equation provides you paramountessays com with an extremely straightforward comprehension of algebra so that you will have the ability to handle more elaborate equations later. If you give up at general math, then you’ll only make general money. Let’s try to realize the above graph. The Math TestNo Calculator part of the test makes it simpler to evaluate your fluency in math and your knowledge of some math concepts. Math and Memory Memory may have an important influence on thinking with numbers. Math has its very own fascinating language. The What Is a Term Math Chronicles The speed at which galaxies are moving apart from one another is called the Hubble constant, or H0. Countries with a high Gini Coefficient are more inclined to develop into unstable, since there’s a huge mass of poor folks that are jealous of the few of rich men and women. In the majority of situations it’s more natural to think about inequality of the composite measure. Based on the number of times you must multiply the very same binomial a value also called an exponent the binomial coefficients for that specific exponent are always precisely the same. The correlation coefficient value is positive when it demonstrates that there’s a correlation between the 2 values and the negative value indicates the quantity of diversity among the 2 values. It can also give you information about the graph. In functions of one variable, such as x, the amount https://www.brown.edu/academics/visual-art/home of a term is just the exponent. After the object is on or close to the surface of the human body, the force of gravity acting on the object is virtually constant and the subsequent equation may be used. Let’s start with the surface of the equation. Sometimes in the event you’d really like to do just a little bit of research on what a specific fabric or leather is created of and by what method the texture would impact the durability, some unfamiliar terms may be used. The worth of 2x is dependent on what value is assigned to x. A circle with a bigger diameter will have a bigger circumference. What Is a Term Math Testing set is critical to validate our results. When you hit okay, the reply will show up in the cell. If you’re interested in some suggestions, comments, and elaborations, click the Comments. I share a typical sort of PSLE Math questions below which most students are not able to do. One of the absolute most important ideas you’re likely to see in your entire study of algebra is the notion of slope. That observation contributes to deep and arcane mathematical and philosophical questions and a few folks make it their life’s work to consider these matters. Students represent multiplication facts throughout using context. Kids everywhere must learn the important math vocabulary words to be able to be prosperous in school. When solving math problems, they usually are expected to do the right steps in a specific order to achieve the correct answer. It actually is dependent upon the youngster’s effort and time spent. Homeschooling parents will find that if it comes to deciding on the curriculum for math, there’s a tremendous variety available. For children to be successful in mathematics, several brain functions will need to work together. The Importance of What Is a Term Math After the structure is done, give students a set price for each bit of material. Even though a linear function can be utilized to model population growth with a constant increase or decrease in the quantity of people, an exponential function can be employed to model population growth with a constant proportion change in population. In some instances, a constant is used for the interest of convenience if it represents a large or elaborate number. You should not presume that your mean is going to be one of your initial numbers. Prove that we have an endless number of prime numbers. All our numbers are thought to be constant terms. It comes into play when you own a dataset with numerous capabilities. The program delivers amazing techniques to deal with complex troubles. A normal task in math is to compute what is called the absolute value of a specific number. The Lost Secret of What Is a Term Math The alternative, apart from the usage of simple numbers, is that letters and similar symbols write my essay are variables. The expression in the brackets can currently be factored using the decompostion procedure. ERROR directive doesn’t halt assembling. Finding the Best What Is a Term Math Within this example we had the ability to combine two of the terms to simplify the last answer. In computer graphics, for example, optimal transport may be used to transform or morph shapes by finding the optimal movement from every point on a single shape in the other. The word” simple” in this context usually means that the predicament isn’t difficult to state and the question is simple to comprehend. It is an excellent idea to permit the reader know if a given letter is a constant, so that there is not any confusion. She notices that some of her classmates aren’t familiarized with the show, but they’re carrying around lots of library books. There are lots of combinations here! The further work of third grade is closely about the significant work standards. The minimum grade is what I have to find. Generally mathematical usage, however, term isn’t restricted to additive expressions.

Largemouth bass (Micropterus salmoides) is the most sought after sportfish in New Mexico. However, population abundance of largemouth bass in Elephant Butte Reservoir remains well below the statewide target objective of 20-40 fish/h. As such, Largemouth Bass fingerlings have been stocked into the Reservoir to augment the bass population. We were tasked to retrospectively characterize the contribution of stocked versus natal (hatched in the reservoir) Largemouth Bass to assess if stocking practices were successful. We used a non-lethal collection of dorsal spines in conjunction with strontium isotopes in the spines to characterize origin of fish and learned that stocking was successful. In addition, we identified rate of water level change within the reservoir affected spawning of the bass population. We partnered with our State cooperator (New Mexico Department of Game and Fish) to conduct the research. Our results will be used to make informed management decisions on the appropriate timing of stocking fingerling Largemouth Bass. Our results will also be used by water managers to time the delivery of water throughout the middle Rio Grande Basin to increase fish habitat for spawning in Elephant Butte Reservoir.

French lawyer, politician and gastronome, Anthelme Brillat-Savarin once said: “Tell me what you eat, and I will tell you what you are.” Across cultures and countries, food is at the centre of existence, and food wastage seen as being irreverent towards the millions devoted to producing it and the billions who don’t have regular and easy access to it. While India has made tremendous strides in food security, much more needs to be done to curtail food wastage. According to the United Nations Development Programme, 40 per cent of the food produced in India goes waste. Wasted food also represents a waste of resources, such as land, water, energy, and other factors used in its production even as it adds to green gas emissions. Food wastage occurs at every stage: food production, transportation viz. supply chains and consumption. India is presently ranked 102nd among 117 economies in the Global Hunger Index (GHI) 2019. Hunger could be tackled by avoiding wastage and using technology and innovative business models, especially in supply chain management to reduce transit time. The Confederation of Indian Industry (CII) recommends increasing supply chain efficiencies that will help reduce wastage, especially of fruits and vegetable. The use of refrigerated containers, for example, has added a new dimension to the transportation of perishable goods. The integrated cold chain project in India is expected to bear rich dividends. The Indian government has already taken several policy initiatives and the Pradhan Mantri Kisan SAMPADA Yojana encompasses the creation of – The Indian Food Sharing Alliance (IFSA), an initiative of the Food Safety and Standards Authority of India (FSSAI), is also geared to solve India’s food waste and hunger crisis by integrating various partner organisations, food recovery agencies, and NGOs. The CII Jubilant Bhartia Food and Agriculture Centre of Excellence (CII-FACE) is also dedicatedly working towards the integrated development of India’s food and agriculture sector through skill development, and other ways for increasing the overall efficiency and income of the agriculture sector. CII has been recommending various measures for the food processing industry such as creating seamless post-harvest infrastructure to address supply chain inefficiencies and framing model guidelines to make the statutory requirements of setting up cold chain infrastructure uniform across all States instead of acquiring multiple licenses and authorities. While these measures are expected to help, India will also need to take a cue from global practices that are both unorthodox and innovative to tackle the food wastage problem. Advancements in artificial intelligence, machine learning, nanotechnology, data monitoring, storage, and packaging solutions will aid in alleviating this issue and be a game-changer in the prevention of food wastage. The customers could also be incentivised to purchase perishable products approaching their expiry dates. Food wastage can also be controlled through social campaigns similar to ‘Swachh Bharat Abhiyaan’ to sensitise people about this avoidable occurrence. India has a successful Green Revolution and Operation Flood behind it and can strengthen its food processing sector to ensure that food wastage is curtailed to ensure that no citizen goes hungry.
a projectile is fired from a cliff 100m high with a velocity of 200m/s. If the angle of projection is 20degrees above the horizontal, find the time of flight correct to 2 decimal places and the range of the projectile from the base of the cliff to the nearest metre. (assume g=9.8 metres per second per second) Can someone please give me the answers to this question. Explanation is not nessecary. i just need to verify my answers. thanx That way we minimise the possibility of giving the answer needed for a multiple choice question where the poster is not interested in learning how to solve the problem. Also if they are honest they already know the solution method so you are wasting effort typing the thing out. Also, check your calculations, you seem to have lost precision somewhere, so your answer is not correct to the nearest metre.
May 7, 2018 – Dementia should join the expanding list of possible complications following concussion, even if the patient did not lose consciousness, say researchers from UCSF Weill Institute for Neurosciences and the San Francisco Veterans Affairs Health Care System. In their study, which tracked more than one-third of a million veterans, the likelihood of dementia was found to more than double following concussion, the researchers reported in JAMA Neurology, published May 7, 2018. After adjusting for age, sex, race, education and other health conditions, they found that concussion without loss of consciousness led to 2.36 times the risk for dementia. These risks were slightly elevated for those in the loss-of-consciousness bracket (2.51) and were nearly four times higher (3.77) for those with the more serious moderate-to-severe traumatic brain injury. Concussions in General Population Also Risky for Dementia Researchers identified participants from two databases: one listing all-era veterans whose traumatic brain injuries—which includes concussion or mild traumatic brain injury—could have occurred during civilian or military life; and the second from vets serving in Iraq and Afghanistan, for whom most of these injuries had occurred in combat zones, such as from shockwaves in blasts. “The findings in both groups were similar, indicating that concussions occurring in combat areas were as likely to be linked to dementia as those concussions affecting the general population,” said first author Deborah Barnes, PhD, MPH, professor in the UCSF departments of psychiatry, and epidemiology and biostatistics. In total, 357,558 participants, whose average age was 49, were tracked. Half had been diagnosed with traumatic brain injury, of which 54 percent had had concussion. The study followed participants for an average of 4.2 years; 91 percent were male and 72 percent were white. Among Iran and Afghanistan vets, concussion was defined as mild traumatic brain injury resulting in alteration of consciousness and amnesia for one day or less, based on a comprehensive medical evaluation. In the other vets, concussion was defined using a wide list of diagnostic codes in the electronic health record. Trauma May Hasten Neurodegenerative Disorders “There are several mechanisms that may explain the association between traumatic brain injury and dementia,” said senior author and principal investigator Kristine Yaffe, MD, professor in the UCSF departments of neurology, psychiatry, and epidemiology and biostatistics. “There’s something about trauma that may hasten the development of neurodegenerative conditions. One theory is that brain injury induces or accelerates the accumulation of abnormal proteins that lead to neuronal death associated with conditions like Alzheimer’s disease. “It’s also possible that trauma leaves the brain more vulnerable to other injuries or aging processes,” said Yaffe, “but we need more work in this area.” The study’s results add to a volume of research that links concussion and other traumatic brain injuries to various psychiatric and neurodegenerative disorders. Last month, UCSF researchers reported a link between concussion and Parkinson’s disease. “Our results show that more needs to be done to reduce the likelihood of traumatic brain injuries,” said Barnes. “In older adults, exercise and multifactorial interventions may limit the risks of falls, which are a leading cause of head injury. “For those who experience a concussion, get medical attention, allow time to heal and try to avoid repeat concussions. Although our study did not directly examine this issue, there is growing evidence that repeated concussions appear to have a cumulative effect.” The study is supported by funding from the U.S. Army Medical Research and Material Command and from the U.S. Department of Veteran Affairs (Chronic Effects of Neurotrauma Consortium).
From previous published reports, we knew that the retina (the layer at the back of the eye) looks different in people with Down's syndrome and ordinary people. In Down's syndrome, there appear to be more blood vessels on the surface of the retina, and the optic disc (where the nerves leave the eye to travel to the brain) has been described as 'rosier'. Ping Ji decided to measure and catalogue these differences by taking fundus photographs in children with Down's syndrome and typical children, and analyse the size and shape of the optic disc and the numbers and arrangement of blood vessels. Because children with Down's syndrome have slightly poorer vision than typical children, we expected to find that the optic disc is smaller in Down's syndrome. Forty-five children with Down's syndrome and 44 typical children took part.The analysis isn't fully completed yet, but Ping has found, quite unexpectedly, that children with Down's syndrome have larger optic discs. Further, other dimensions of the retina appear larger, as if the retina is stretched. But the children's eyes are not stretched overall, because Ping has measured the length of the eyes and matched the children with Down's syndrome with typical children of exactly the same eye length. At the moment, Ping's findings represent a mystery. Retinal blood vessels Ping's photographs show that children with Down's syndrome do indeed have more blood vessels. This is because the same number of vessels enter the eye, but they then branch out more often over the retina than do typical children's. Ping also took measures of the dimensions of the cornea and front of the eye (anterior chamber) in the children. When we have completed this analysis, we will have a better idea of the size and shape of the eye in children with Down's syndrome, and whether the differences might explain some of the defects the children's eyes develop.
A spinner is made from the disc is the diagram and the random variable X represents the number it lands on after being spun. Write down the distribution of X. How could I do this? Basically I’m confused where to start & what to think. Could anyone explain please?
While the first European contact with Gippsland is thought to have occurred early in the 19th century, it wasn’t until the 1830s when settlers steadily began to enter the region for a range of agricultural, timber harvesting and mining purposes clearing large areas of forests and woodlands and draining swamps. This has led to changes in vegetation and natural and indigenous fire regimes that have resulted in a potentially more fire-prone landscape. Tom Griffiths, an Emeritus Professor of history at ANU explained that European newcomers did not realise that the ‘open, carefully cultivated landscape’ had been created by Aboriginal people for a very long time and required careful management to retain those qualities. Along with using fire for everyday activities like hunting and cooking, Aboriginal people’s land management practices included cultural burning to help prevent fire risks and maintain and protect native habitats. Fire regimes prior to European settlement are reflected in the vegetation that was present prior indigenous dispossession, settlement and clearing. Modelling has recreated what the vegetation may have looked like in 1750 Ecological Vegetation Class Groups in 1750 Ecological Vegetation Class Groups in 2005 Tolerable fire intervals Detailed studies and modelling of vegetation in Victoria can explain how it has evolved with natural and indigenous fire. The dependence on fire for reproduction or the requirement for no fire until plants and trees are old enough to reproduce can be expressed as upper and lower limits . These can be seen in the following two maps. For example at Yarram the expected fire interval would be between 15 and 90 years. Minimum Tolerable Fire Interval (From the growth and reproduction habits of plant species present it is possible to say that fire frequency was generally no less than the figure shown) Maximum Tolerable Fire Interval (From the growth and reproduction habits of plant species present it is possible to say that fire frequency was generally no more than the figure shown)
Plants and Animals Species of Concern Decurrent False Aster - Common Name: Decurrent False Aster - Scientific Name: Boltonia decurrens - Distribution: St. Charles County - Classification: State and federally endangered - To learn more about endangered species: explore the links listed below. The nation’s leading expert on decurrent false aster calls this critically imperiled plant a “floodplain fugitive.” Unable to compete with other plants for sun and space, it sprouts in areas where flooding or other disturbances create patches of bare soil along ditches or in other moist, sandy, low-lying areas. Development of most of its potential habitat has relegated this plant to wet edges of fields, borrow areas and lake shores. Plowing and planting in river bottoms increases soil erosion, which smothers decurrent false aster’s seeds and seedlings beneath a blanket of silt. At the same time, levees have greatly reduced the floods that create bare-soil areas where this species can thrive. Because of decurrent false aster’s gypsy lifestyle, its distribution changes from year to year. This complicates efforts to ensure its survival. The Conservation Department partners with other government agencies and private landowners to document and protect existing populations. Dig this unique little amphibian! Often mistaken for a toad, the plains spadefoot (Spea bombifrons) has smoother skin and vertical eye pupils, like a cat’s. Toads’ pupils are horizontal. Its defining characteristic is a hard, wedge-shaped spade on each hind leg. This “spade” gives spadefoots their name and equips them well for life underground. Plains spadefoots live along the Missouri River, where they burrow in sandy soil. They are smallish frogs, measuring 1.5 to 2 inches. They eat earthworms and insects. Plants Go Wild at State Fair Demo garden showcases native plants’ versatility. Whether your yard is moist and loamy or dry and rocky, you can find ideas about landscaping with native plants at the 2009 Missouri State Fair Aug. 13–23. This year’s demonstration gardens at the Conservation Pavilion follow the fair’s “Rural Lifestyles” theme by inviting fair goers to “Discover Nature Near You.” Features include a rocky glade, a woodland setting, a water feature and sunny border areas. Indoors you will find a riverbank diorama with live native plants. The Conservation Pavilion is near the south end of the fairgrounds. While there, take time to cool off in front of several aquariums or in the air-conditioned discovery room.
Sizing Structures and Predicting Weight of a Spacecraft Created: Thursday, 01 June 2006 EZDESIT is a computer program for choosing the sizes of structural components and predicting the weight of a spacecraft, aircraft, or other vehicle. In designing a vehicle, EZDESIT is used in conjunction with a finite-element structural- analysis program: Each structural component is sized within EZDESIT to withstand the loads expected to be encountered during operation, then the weights of all the structural finite elements are added to obtain the structural weight of the vehicle. The sizing of the structural components elements also alters the stiffness properties of the finite-element model. The finite-element analysis and structural component sizing are iterated until the weight of the vehicle converges to a prescribed iterative difference. The results of the sizing can be reviewed in two ways: 1. An interactive session of the EZDESIT program enables review of the results in a table that shows component types, component weights, and failure modes; and 2. The results are read into a finite-element preprocessing-and-postprocessing program and displayed on a graphical representation of the model. This program was written by Jeffrey Cerro and C. P. Shore of Langley Research Center. For further information, access the Technical Support Package (TSP) free online at www.techbriefs.com/tsp under the Software category. LAR-16878-1
In a bid to enable a world of ultrafast photonics-based chips, scientists in the US have developed the smallest semiconductor laser to date. Photonics chips are considered one way to ensure computer chips become increasingly powerful in future, with light used to communicate information far faster than relatively sluggish electrons. Furthermore, light-based on chip communications would not generate heat in the way that conventional electronic devices do, a substantial concern as chips shrink in line with Moore’s Law. Actually developing working systems and relevant on-chip components is tricky however, and is the focus of research in many labs. Now researchers at the University of Texas believe that they have made a big step towards enabling photonics systems with what they claim in is the smallest laser in the world using semiconductor materials. Developed alongside universities in Taiwan and China, the nano laser, invisible to the human eye, could help form the basis of future photonics chips by closing the size gap between electronic and photonic components that currently exists. This has been one of the main barrier to incorporating photonics devices onto chips in the past, the nanoscale device could change this. The research team says that it has crucially managed to create a laser which can function below what is known as the three dimensional optical diffraction limit. By creating a device that can operate well below this limit, the researchers claim the research will have a “large impact” on nanoscale technologies such as future photonics chips as well as a new generation of sensors.
Use the accident prevention pyramid in your safety training or toolbox meetings with your employees to create awareness of the accident prevention pyramid and steps which must be taken to address unsafe acts and conditions before they lead to incidents, severe injuries, and even fatalities. Most accidents in the workplace involve both unsafe conditions, such as inadequate ventilation or improper storage of hazardous materials, and unsafe actions, such as bypassing controls or failing to wear personal protective equipment (PPE). Unsafe acts and conditions lead to progressively more serious injuries and even fatalities as you can see in the pyramid. Organizations must work to eliminate both unsafe conditions and unsafe actions in order to bring down these other numbers. Most employers only focus on incidents that result in top 3 sections of the pyramid: medical attention, lost time and fatalities. Why is this case you may ask? Because there is a cost or time element that is associated with these types of incidents. Ask yourself, “When is the last time I had a manager/supervisor or even an employee mention a near miss to the organization or safety committee?” If you start focusing on the near misses and unsafe actions, you will start changing the safety culture of your organization and the behaviors of your employees. Addressing Unsafe Conditions: - Unsafe conditions should be discovered by hazard assessments, including job hazard analyses (JHAs). - Ideally, hazards should be completely eliminated or substituted with safer options. If this is not possible, hazards should be managed with engineering controls, administrative controls, and PPE (PPE should be considered as a last resort because this requires employee compliance with wearing the (PPE) personal protective equipment). - Conditions should be monitored with regular inspections, audits, and safety observations. Addressing Unsafe Actions: - Organizations must coach and train employees in safe behaviors. - Organizations must also develop a good safety culture by getting all employees and all levels of management involved in the safety program. - Hold you supervisors and managers accountable for accidents and incidents that occur in their department. - The organization must be very clear with safety priorities. Management and supervisors must lead by example and be held accountable when not following your companies policies and procedures - Regular inspections, audits, and safety observations should also note employee behaviors and their understanding of safety procedures. - Good safety behaviors should be rewarded and reinforced and bad safety behaviors must be counseled and disciplined.
As Congress hunts for ways to push its stem-cell bill past an expected veto, states are charging ahead on their own. Last month, Gov. Eliot Spitzer kicked off plans to spend $1 billion on New York-based stem-cell research over the next decade. Spitzer is following the lead of California, whose massive $3 billion effort pioneered the state-level stem-cell surge two years ago. Similar, if smaller-scale, efforts are afoot in Connecticut, Florida, Illinois, Maryland, and New Jersey. In backing stem cells, state leaders are promising miracle cures for deadly diseases such as Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, and AIDS—and telling voters that those miracles can be had for free. Spitzer promised during his State of the State address in January that the stem-cell investment "will repay itself many times over in increased jobs, economic activity and improved health." This sort of claim appears to have originated with a study produced in the run-up to the 2004 vote on California's initiative. The authors, Stanford University health economist Laurence Baker and Bruce Deal of the Analysis Group, concluded that stem-cell research would generate state revenues and health-care savings of $6.4 to $12.6 billion over the 30 years it will take to pay off the state bonds used to fund it. California's $3 billion investment would not only pay for itself and another $2.4 billion in bond interest payments, it would also turn the state a profit of at least $1 billion. But the Baker-Deal numbers look hopelessly optimistic. To begin with, they assume that stem-cell treatments will work in the first place. Many of the most hyped biotechnology innovations of the last 25 years have yet to live up to their early promise. And when they do work, they often tend to improve medical care at the margins instead of revolutionizing it. If medical treatments can be derived from stem-cell research, they are at least a decade or two away, if history is any guide. Even then, new therapies envisioned by supporters, such as diabetes treatments that regenerate insulin-producing islet cells, might add to government health-care costs instead of curbing them. The Baker-Deal report figured that stem-cell therapies could save California at least $3.4 billion in health-care costs over the next three decades by assuming the therapies would reduce state spending on six major medical conditions by 1 percent to 2 percent. While the authors cast that as a "conservative" estimate, they don't even model the possibility that costs might rise instead. Recent medical advances haven't appreciably slowed growth in overall U.S. health-care spending, which continues to rise far faster than inflation. Ideally, of course, stem-cell therapies would start a trend in the opposite direction by reducing or eliminating the need for expensive and often lifelong medical care. For that to happen, though, the new treatments would need to largely replace existing ones at a reasonable price, and then doctors would have to use them sparingly—for instance, only on the patients most likely to benefit. None of these assumptions is a particularly good bet under the current U.S. health-care system, in which new treatments are often simply added to older ones, and where insurers so far have tended to pay top dollar for incremental medical advances. Baker and Deal also suggest that stem-cell support could yield California as much as $1.1 billion in royalty income, assuming that companies who license the rights to new discoveries pay 2 percent to 4 percent of treatment sales back to the state. But as Richard Gilbert, a University of California at Berkeley economist, pointed out in a recent critique of the study, most basic research doesn't yield commercial products, and the actual returns on commercialized research tend to be far lower than the level Baker and Deal assume. Gilbert estimates that California's total royalty income could be as low as $18 million in current dollars, or just 0.6 percent of its $3 billion investment. (Here's some of his reasoning.) As he dryly notes in his paper, "If income generation were the sole justification for stem cell research funding (which of course it is not), the State would be better off investing in its own municipal bonds." What about the potential of stem-cell research to spur economic development—can a state that sponsors stem-cell research hope to attract cool scientists who will then draw others, plus a coterie of entrepreneurs and venture capitalists? Biotech companies do tend to cluster in places like San Francisco and Boston, but their overall impact on regional economies tends to be limited. While they often pay high salaries, the vast majority of these companies are tiny, unprofitable startups with fewer than 100 employees. They frequently collapse well before they earn a dollar in sales. Even successful biotech ventures are often bought out by distant drug companies, which sometimes shut down the acquired company while transferring its research activities and any products elsewhere. On top of all that, big states like California and New York are going to wind up competing for some of the very same scientists, VCs, and entrepreneurs, further shrinking the rewards. Why did Baker and Deal see dollar signs? The $200,000 stem-cell supporters paid to Deal's firm, the Analysis Group, for campaign consulting might have something to do with it. In an interview, Baker said he didn't think of the report as advocacy but added that "we knew we were working for people who wanted to pass this thing." And while he still believes the economic benefits of stem-cell research could be "quite large," Baker also describes the report as merely "one possible version of how things might happen." None of this means that stem-cell research doesn't deserve government funding. Stem-cell science, after all, remains in its infancy. Nearly a decade after the discovery of embryonic stem cells in humans, scientists still don't know exactly how they work, how to assure their purity, or what unexpected side effects they might have when transplanted into the human body. At this stage of basic research, private funding is in short supply precisely because it's not clear where the payoff lies. This is where the federal government should come in. But a 2001 executive order from President Bush prevents federally funded scientists—that is, the bulk of academic biomedical researchers in the United States—from creating new embryonic stem-cell lines or even studying new lines developed elsewhere. So, the states are right to ante up where the federal government has failed to. They just shouldn't expect to do well while they're doing good. Even if stem cells do yield a large, near-term commercial payoff, there's another flaw in the Baker-Deal analysis: It doesn't account for the opportunity costs associated with waiting two decades for royalty payments. The basic issue is that a dollar today is worth more than a dollar a year from now. This notion—technically known as the "time value of money"—is the reason banks pay interest on savings accounts. At an interest rate of 5 percent, a dollar today is worth $1.05 a year from now. Flip that around, and the "present value" of a dollar expected one year from now is only about 95 cents. These are particularly important calculations if you're looking at investment opportunities, since even fairly large returns are worth considerably less in today's dollars if the payoff doesn't arrive for decades. You can probably see where this is going. Under the Baker-Deal assumptions, the bulk of royalty income flows in about 20 years from now, but the report doesn't discount those sums to their present value. When Berkeley economist Richard Gilbert applied a standard discount rate of 5 percent to the Baker-Deal figures—a conservative figure derived from the interest rate on 10-year Treasury bonds—he found the present value of expected royalty income is about two-thirds less than the report indicates. The Baker-Deal analysis has proven overly optimistic in other respects, too. Gilbert also modeled the California program's actual royalty policy, which of course didn't exist at the time Baker and Deal did their study. The economist found that payments to inventors and other limits in the policy reduced the state's expected royalty income even further—to just 0.6 percent of the overall research budget in the worst case. When I talked to him, Baker argued that the effect of discounting future royalties would be largely balanced out by other factors he and Deal also left out of the report, such as a potential increase in overall health-care usage. Of course, if people use medical services more frequently in the future, overall health-care costs are unlikely to go down, which might explain why the report didn't model that possibility in the first place.

Bipolar disorder is a brain disorder characterized by extreme or unusual shifts in a person's mood, energy, and ability to function. Bipolar disorder affects approximately 1% of the population, and more than 2 million American adults have bipolar disorder. Research has proven that bipolar disorder has a clear and recognized genetic component. However, the mode of inheritance of bipolar disorder is complex and likely to involve multiple genes. Investigators at TGen are using genome-wide association studies to identify the most common mutations (changes or similarities from person to person) that lead to sporadic bipolar disorder. By sifting through hundreds of thousands of unique genetic "markers" or signatures across the genome, researchers can identify genes containing common predisposing mutations. Once these genes have been identified, it is possible to translate these discoveries into new therapeutics and treatment options.

Waist size can predict your risk of certain cancers, according to a World Health Organisation report published in the British Journal of Cancer. Researchers compared BMI, waist measurement, and waist to hip ratio to find out which was the most reliable predictor. They found that waist size was at least as useful as body mass index (BMI), the ratio of weight to height. Waist measurement can be a more useful indicator of cancer risk than BMI because it is closely correlated with levels of ‘visceral fat’, or abdominal fat, which is known to increase cancer risk. The study shows that an 11cm (4.3 inch) increase in waist size increases the average risk of 13 obesity-related cancers (including kidney, breast and bowel cancer) by 13 per cent. Just 8cm extra — that is, about three inches — increases the risk of bowel cancer by 15 per cent. The researchers, from the WHO’s International Agency for Research on Cancer, looked at data gathered from 43,000 study participants followed for an average of 12 years. In that time over 1,600 of them were diagnosed with an obesity-related cancer. Dr Heinz Freisling, the study’s lead author, said: ‘You only need to put a tape measure around your belly button. This is easy to do and can give a person an indication of whether their risk for specific cancers is increased or not – for instance, [for] pancreas or liver cancer, which are known to be related to increased body fatness or obesity. ‘Our findings show that both BMI and where body fat is carried on the body can be good indicators of obesity-related cancer risk. Specifically, fat carried around the waist may be important for certain cancers, but requires further investigation. ‘To better reflect the underlying biology at play, we think it’s important to study more than just BMI when looking at cancer risk. And our research adds further understanding to how people’s body shape could increase their risk.’ Most people are well aware that being overweight causes significant long-term health risks. Indeed it is the single biggest preventable cause of cancer after smoking. Conventional advice is often to measure the body mass index (BMI) but this study suggests that measuring waist size may be a better marker for potential cancers. It found that an increased risk of certain cancers and type-2 diabetes developed at a waist measurement of 40 inches (102cm) for men and 35 inches (88cm) for women. It showed that adding 11cm to the waistline increased the risk of obesity-linked cancers by 13 per cent and, for bowel cancer in particular, adding around 8cm to the hips was linked to an increased risk of 15 per cent.
Science – Anticipating the future under the influence of climate change is one of the most important challenges of our time, and the topic of the special section in this issue of Science (see p. 472). The natural systems that provide oxygen, clean water, food, storm and erosion protection, natural products, and the potential for future resources, such as new genetic stocks for cultivation, must be protected, not just because it is part of good stewardship but also so that they can take care of us. But even the first step of modeling the effects of greenhouse gas sources and sinks on future temperatures requires input from atmospheric scientists, oceanographers, ecologists, economists, policy analysts, and others. The problem is even more difficult because the very factors that influence temperature changes, such as ocean circulation and terrestrial ecosystem responses, will themselves be altered as the climate changes. With so many potential climate-sensitive factors to consider, scientists need ways to narrow down the range of possible environmental outcomes so that they know what specific problems to tackle. Researchers have turned to the geologic record to obtain ground truth about patterns of change for use in climate models. Information from prior epochs reveals evidence for conditions on Earth that might be analogs to a future world with more CO2. Projections based on such previous evidence are still uncertain, because there is no perfect analog to current events in previous geologic epochs; however, even the most optimistic predictions are dire. For example, environmental changes brought on by climate changes will be too rapid for many species to adapt to, leading to widespread extinctions. Even species that might tolerate the new environment could nevertheless decline as the ecosystems on which they depend collapse. The oceans will become more stratified and less productive. If such ecosystem problems come to pass, the changes will affect humans in profound ways. The loss in ocean productivity will be detrimental for the 20% of the population that depends on the seas for nutrition. Crops will fail more regularly, especially on land at lower latitudes where food is in shortest supply. This unfavorable environmental state could last for many thousands of years as geologic processes slowly respond to the imbalances created by the release of the fossil carbon reservoir. The time scale for biodiversity to be restored, with all the benefits that it brings, will be even longer. Unfortunately, I view these predicted outcomes as overly optimistic. We are not just experiencing increases in greenhouse gas emissions but also eutrophication, pollution of the air and water, massive land conversion, and many other insults, all of which will have interacting and accumulating effects. The real problem we need to solve in order to truly understand how Earth’s environment may change is that of cumulative impacts. Although the Paleocene-Eocene Thermal Maximum (about 55 million years ago) is the time period considered to be a reasonable analog to a higher-CO2 future, the planet was not experiencing these other stressors and climate change simultaneously. So terrestrial species that survive a climate impact alone may face extinction if reduced to a fraction of their natural range through deforestation and habitat fragmentation. Marine species that are mildly susceptible to ocean acidification may not be able to tolerate this condition plus low oxygen levels. Sometimes the science of cumulative impacts is straightforward—for example, connecting habitats to provide migration corridors in response to sea-level rise brought on by climate change. But even “clear-cut” cases require extra work, more partnerships, and more time to address. Tackling problems of cumulative dimensions is a priority if we are to find viable solutions to the real environmental crises of the coming decades. There is a need for all scientists to rise to this challenge.Source and Photo: Science 4th, 2013 Labex Korea on Twitter
Key Takeaway: The Think! Game created by Reynato Sian is more challenging and better than chess with its more complex yet realistic rules not based on war strategies but on real-life principles that develop both intelligence and character. Its supporters call for it to be integrated into national education to improve individual, organizational, and analytical skills more effectively than chess: a socially innovative way to increase the impact of education with a concept celebrating local talent. First of all, I’d like to wish my beloved 二哥 a happy 39th birthday! May God continue to bless you and keep you. Last week, I featured a social enterprise that promoted, among others, Pinoy pride and talent. That day also happened to be my 哥哥’s 42nd birthday according to the lunisolar calendar and Chinese reckoning. Being the man who taught me how to play chess, unlocking a quiet but continuous passion for the game that persists until now, I dedicate this post to him. Chess is a ubiquitous game that exemplifies the concept of “easy to learn, but difficult to master”. Played by people over the world it may be, it takes a dedicated mind to master the game. But it pales in comparison to one humble but mind-boggling game, a game whose roots can be found in Western Visayas. It is harder than chess due to its more complex rules and concept – but its creator believes this is good, as it will be more effective in unlocking the limitless potentials of the human mind that the current educational system is not as good in doing. In fact, efforts are being made to integrate it into the educational system, as they believe it will be better than chess in developing children’s logical, analytical, and critical skills. Say hello to the Think! Game. Featured on Rappler, the Think! Game is promised to be a wonder in training the human mind and developing the youth of today. Created in the 1970s by one Reynaldo Sian, a Negrense from Bacolod, the game was conceived to be a response to the perceived lack of the element of reality in chess. Sian believed that chess was not realistic enough, being based on war strategies, and not fully engaging the faculties of the human mind. Resembling a mix between chess and Chinese checkers, Think! is a two-player game with 19 pieces each, on a 61-space hexagonal board. The 19 pieces are named after man’s mental faculties – instinct, reason, judgment, logic, wisdom, and mind. The Mind is similar to the King of chess – the objective is to capture the opponent’s. To do so, a very deep strategy must be employed – one that really develops one’s mental skills. A commenter in the aforementioned Rappler article, Mr. Vic Duran, shared the following YouTube video of how it is played: Sian and the game’s supporters, who call themselves thinknologists, believe that it is the answer to a lackluster educational system in the country – effective but fun and interactive learning. They are calling for the game to be integrated into the educational system, primary to tertiary – just as how Russia, the US, Australia, and even the Philippines itself have inserted chess into their learning programs. For Sian and company, however, Think! will be better than chess in achieving these objectives – and it is a Filipino creation, thereby fostering an appreciation for the country and the genius of its people. Although the game grew quite popular and acclaimed among national and international chess masters, Sian eventually suspended the project because of the “disadvantageous nature” of business offers. Today, however, modern thinknologists are lobbying for it – by spreading awareness and soliciting production offers in going from barangay to barangay. I would personally – and I am saying this out loud now – be willing to go into business with thinknologists to produce and distribute the game, turning it into a social enterprise in the process. First, it promotes responsible learning with its character-building and mentally-enhancing gameplay. Second, it’s proudly Pinoy made. Third, I love board games. Thanks to my regular contributor, Kevin Christopher M. Tee, for sharing the Rappler link with me. If you are a, or know any, thinknologist, please let me know. I would love to meet them and partner up with them. Contact me by commenting below or by leaving an email at firstname.lastname@example.org.
Doors and windows are an indispensable part of homes. When it comes to doors and windows, many individuals pick aluminum alloy doors and windows. The decorative effect of aluminum alloy doors and windows is very good, with performance characteristics such as wind pressure resistance, water tightness, thermal insulation, etc. Thus, aluminum alloy door and window profiles have become the key object of home decoration. This article will introduce you to what are aluminum alloy doors and windows and how to choose them. 1. What is an aluminum alloy door and window? Aluminum alloy: It is based on aluminum and adds some alloying elements to enhance strength and hardness. Ordinary aluminum alloy profile: The inside and outside are connected without an air layer. The inside and outside colors can only be the same, and the surface is sprayed with an anti-corrosion treatment. Ordinary aluminum profiles are conductors as a whole, so heat transfer and heat dissipation are relatively fast. Broken bridge aluminum alloy profile: It is divided into two ends during the processing process, and the two ends are connected into a whole with PA66 nylon strips to form three air layers, the inside and outside are not conductive, and the inside and outside colors can be selected arbitrarily. PA66 nylon strips connect the two ends of the broken bridge aluminum profile to form three air layers. The inside and outside are not conductive, the temperature difference between the inside and outside is different, and the colors are diverse. About the wall thickness The wall thickness of the main stress-bearing part of the window profile is not less than 1.4mm, the high-rise reaches more than 20 floors, and the thickness of the profile can be increased. The wall thickness of the main stress-bearing part of the door profile is not less than 2.0mm, which is in line with the national standard for wind pressure resistance. Single doors and windows more prominent than 3-4 square meters can have their thickness increased, and columns can be added if they are too huge. About the thermal conductivity The heat transfer coefficient is the speed at which the internal temperature conducts to the outside when the internal heating passes through time, and the heat transfer value is obtained through time and temperature. - The heat transfer coefficient of standard aluminum alloy doors and windows is between 3.5 and 5.0. - The heat transmission coefficient of broken bridge aluminum alloy doors and windows is approximately 2.5-3.0. - The heat transfer coefficient of the system’s aluminum alloy doors and windows is between 2.0 and 2.5. 2. How to choose Aluminum alloy doors and windows? According to the thickness Aluminum alloy doors and windows are divided into several series according to the thickness of the door and window frame. If the thickness of the door frame is 90mm, it is called 90 series aluminum alloy doors and windows. There are 70 series and 90 series of aluminum alloy sliding doors, and the 70 series can be used for the aluminum alloy doors inside the house. There are 55 series, 60 series, 70 series, 90 series, and so on for aluminum alloy sliding windows. When you choose a series, you should generally decide according to the size of the window opening and the local wind pressure value. The aluminum alloy windows used as closed balconies should not be smaller than 70 series. Note: The thickness of the aluminum alloy profile directly determines the quality of the aluminum alloy doors and windows. When consumers choose aluminum alloy doors and windows, they should not be greedy for cheap and choose aluminum alloy doors and windows with too thin profiles. In addition, the thickness of the aluminum alloy profile also determines the price of the product. According to the strength Both the tensile strength (157 Newtons per square millimeter) and the yield strength (108 Newtons per square millimeter) should be met. When purchasing, you can bend the aluminum alloy profile moderately with your hands, and it should return to its original shape after letting go. According to the chromaticity The same aluminum alloy profile should have a constant hue. It is not appropriate to purchase if the color difference is noticeable. According to the flatness Look at the aluminum alloy profile’s surface; there shouldn’t be any bulges or depressions. According to the glossiness Aluminum alloy doors and windows should avoid purchasing aluminum alloy profiles with open air bubbles (white spots) and ash residue (black spots) on the surface, as well as obvious defects such as cracks, burrs, and peeling. According to the oxidation degree The oxide film thickness should reach 10 microns. When purchasing, you can lightly scratch the profile’s surface to check if the oxide deposit can be removed. The above is a brief introduction to the purchase of aluminum doors and windows. If you have special needs, please contact us. As a professional supplier of aluminum products, CHAL supplies all kinds of finished products, from building profile systems to industrial aluminum products, mainly including aluminum windows and doors, aluminum curtain walls, aluminum sunrooms, aluminum garden gates, garden fences, aluminum handrails, aluminum upstairs, all aluminum furniture, aluminum goods shelf, etc… Just please tell us your needs and we are so glad to serve you.
Skyscraper Wars: The Petty Battle For the World's Tallest Building By the late 1920s, rich people were getting really bored. Illegal booze, jazz parties, and generally Great Gatsbying it up wasn't doing it for them anymore, so they decided to start chasing world records. Specifically, in 1929, banker George L. Ohrstrom decided to build a 47-story skyscraper that would be called the Bank of Manhattan Trust Building, but then he heard about automotive mogul Walter Chrysler's plans to build the 808-foot Chrysler Building, which would be the tallest building in the world. Ohrstrom's architect, H. Craig Severance, drew up new plans for an 848-foot building, and the race was on. Both were determined to the point of mania, rushing their crews to finish in a frankly alarming period of time just to be the world's tallest building for even a minute. By April 1930, both buildings were completed, but then Severance started getting paranoid. The crew at the Chrysler Building were getting all these weird, unexplained deliveries, so even though the BMT was planned to be the taller of the two, he decided at the last minute that they needed some insurance in the form of a 35-foot lantern and 50-foot flagpole, topping the building out at 925 feet. He was right to be worried. Chrysler had an ace up their sleeves: a 175-foot spire that was built in secret inside the building and mounted in 90 minutes at the very end of construction, putting the Chrysler Building at over 1,000 feet. It might very well be the most expensive physical manifestation of "What now, bitch?" And it was all for nothing. Within a year, the Empire State Building thrust its 1,250-ft dong into the sky, having been similarly built at a rate of a floor a day, apparently just to put that Chrysler asshole in his place. By then, the Great Depression had kicked off in earnest, and half of its 102 floors just sat unused, earning it the nickname "the Empty State Building" and proving that rich people will literally build a useless skyscraper instead of going to therapy.

Chinese Kung Fu is a large system of theory and practice. It combines techniques of self-defense and health-keeping. It is estimated that Chinese Kung Fu can be dated back to primeval society. At that time people use cudgels to fight against wild beasts. Gradually they accumulated experience of self defense. When Shang Dynasty began, hunting was considered as an important measure of Kung Fu training. Kung Fu in the Shang and Zhou Dynasties During Shang and Zhou Dynasties (17th Century BC- 221 BC), martial arts evolved to be a kind of dancing. Usually the dancing of martial arts is utilized to train soldiers and inspire their morale. During Zhou Dynasty, martial-arts dancing was designated as a component of education. The application of wrestling techniques at the battlefield received much attention from various states during the period of Spring and Autumn. The then emperor held twice wrestling contests every year respectively in spring and autumn so as to select excellent people of martial arts. At the same time, the skill and technology of sword forging as well as sword ceremony achieved rapid development. Kung Fu in the Qin and Han Dynasties In Qin (221 BC – 207 BC) and Han (202 BC – 220 AD) Dynasties, wrestling, swordplay, and martial arts dancing were very popular. A well known instance was Xiang Zhuang's Sword Dancing in Hongmen Banquet at the same period. His performance was very close to today's martial arts. The application of spear play in Han Dynasty reached its summit along with the appearance of many other techniques of spear usage. It is said the Five-animal-style exercise was another innovation by Hua Tuo on the development of Chinese martial arts. Kung Fu in the Tang Dynasty Starting from Tang Dynasty (618 - 907), Kung Fu examination was proposed and implemented. Excellent candidates would receive titles and awards through the examination, largely propelling the development of martial arts. By then martial arts had evolved to be an artistic form and an independent genre. It was gradually introduced to many countries in Southeast Asia. Today Kung Fu were honored as the ancestor of kickboxing, karate, aikido, and judo. Kung Fu in the Song and Yuan Dynasties Song (960 - 1279) and Yuan (1206 - 1368) Dynasties witnessed the climax of Kung Fu development. Practice of Kung Fu by civil organizations became more and more popular. Some organizations or clubs centered on the use of spear play and cudgel, and they were called Yinglue Organization; while others majored in the practice of arching and therefore called Arching Origination. Besides, there appeared another genre called Luqi People. They made a living as performer of martial arts all over the country. Usually their performance was carried out by a single person or two persons as a pair. Kung Fu in Ming and Qing Dynasties Chinese Kung Fu achieved larger development in Ming (1368 - 1644) and Qing (1636 - 1911) Dynasties. In Ming Dynasty, a lot of genres came into being and numerous books on martial arts were published. In Qing Dynasty, the ruling empire banned the practice of martial arts, and the folk had to set up various clubs or societies to pass down feat secretly. Therefore tens of schools of martial arts came into being, such as taiji, xingyi shadowboxing, eight–diagram shadowboxing, etc. Qing Dynasty is the times of integration among different martial arts genres. Wrestling techniques were introduced into martial arts, facilitating the improvement and mature of martial arts. This period is the shed between genres for appreciation and those for actual combat. Kung Fu in Modern Times In 1927, Central National Martial Arts Society was established. In August, 1936, Chinese Martial Arts Team went to Berlin to participate Olympics. In 1956, Chinese Martial Arts Association set up Martial Arts Teams. In 1985, International Marital Arts Invitational Tournament was held in Xi'an with the establishment of International Martial Arts League. In 1987, the first Asian Martial Arts Tournament was held in Hengbin. In 1990, martial arts were for the first time listed as a competition event in the 11th Asian Games. In 1999, International Martial Arts League was invited as a member of International Individual Events Federation by International Olympic Committee. That was the sign of Chinese Martial Arts walking global. Experience Kung Fu in China Our tours are customizable, so you can discover more of what you're interested in.

The Blind Juggler demonstrates that high performance robotic juggling is possible without any sensors detecting the ball. The Swinging Blind Juggler takes this concept one step further: it is the Blind Juggler strapped to a pendulum. The ball is struck at the peak angles of the pendulum, resulting in a side-to-side juggling of the ball. The Swinging Blind Juggler achieves stable juggling without any sensors to detect the ball. The same paddle shape and motion that stabilize the ball on the Blind Juggler also keep the ball from falling off the Swinging Blind Juggler. While the ball motion is stable without sensing, we need feedback to control the pendulum motion. Blind juggling is only possible if the pendulum remains synchronized to the ball motion. We developed a feedback strategy that uses special paddle motions to control the pendulum motion. The physics that make this possible are similar to what children intuitively use to control their amplitude on a swing. In Swinging Blind Juggler section, you will: - Find out more about the four bar linkage, which is the mechanism that ensures that the paddle is perpendicular to the ball velocity at impact. - Learn about how the Swinging Blind Juggler imitates a child on a swing to synchronize the pendulum to the ball motion in the section on feedback control.
Do minerals in drinking water promote health? Many advocates of very low-mineral drinking water claim: - Minerals in our tap water damage the body by being deposited as so-called slags in the connective tissue, - minerals are only found in water in inorganic form and can therefore not be absorbed by the body or only with great energy expenditure. In the long run, this leads to diseases such as dementia or arthrosis. On the surface, this statement is correct. However, water in its structured form, when energised, forms so-called hydration shells around the minerals so that we can absorb and utilise the minerals. In nature, water occurs in a structured way and we can replenish our mineral supplies. However, if the structure of the water is destroyed, the differently charged substances attract and form compounds with each other. For example, calcium and hydrogen carbonate are present in structured water, whereas in unstructured water they form a bond with each other and combine to form calcium bicarbonate (colloquially known as lime). Everyone knows the deposits that come out of this, in the kettle or the washing machine. Our blood vessels calcify in the same way. What applies to calcium naturally also applies to the other minerals in water. As soon as water loses its structure, the important elements form worthless or even harmful compounds with their antagonists. And so the vital drink becomes a health hazard. Another aspect takes us to the Blue Zones (regions of the world where the inhabitants live much longer on average with the best quality of life). For example, the inhabitants of Nicoya (Costa Rica) drink water that flows through limestone and is very rich in calcium and magnesium. Nicoya belongs to these Blue Zones. The same is true of the Blue Zone on the Japanese island of Okinawa - there, too, the inhabitants have only very mineral-rich drinking water at their disposal. Incidentally, the water loses its structure if, among other things, you add carbonic acid to it, transport it with pressure above 2.5 bar or treat it with ozone (ozone is the strongest oxidant used in drinking water practice and has proven itself in the treatment of drinking water). Structured and thus cell-available water is obtained with our YVE-BIO® water filter systems.
Top 10 Historic Brutal Executions Capital punishment has come a long way as far as our styles of execution. In most civilized countries, we have humanitarian ways to put criminals to death. Even in third world or semi civilized countries and kingdoms, beheading is pretty much the worst of it. We also hear of torture and humiliation techniques that we believe to be inhumane and downright barbaric. Folks, what happens in today’s world are child’s play as compared to how we used to carry out punishments just a few hundred years ago. In fact, humankind has become downright gentlemen about capital punishment. Read on as you discover the horrible and painful ways in which brutal executions were carried out in our Top Ten List of Historic Brutal Executions. 10. Saint Andrew Bobola 1657 Saint Andrew was an advisor, preacher, and teacher of the Jesuits. He was well respected, loved, and died at age 65 in the year 1657. This was not a great period in which to be a Christian as they were tortured and martyred for their belief in Jesus and their refusal to deny Him. His death was neither quick nor peaceful. The terrible torture that Saint Andrew endured inspired many people as to his faith in the Lord and his willingness to give his life to prove his faith. During his torture, he prayed continuously for his tormentors as they tore off his Holy Habit, tied him to a tree, and scourged him. To “scourge” is to whip with a lash or cat o’ nine tails with pieces of bone or metal tied to the end allowing it to rip the flesh from the bone. They forced a crown of thorns on his head, ripped out one of his eyes, and burned his flesh repeatedly by jabbing him with torches. Terribly, they were just getting warmed up. One of his captors used his dagger to trace a chasuble, a type of vest worn by priests of the time, into his bare back and then peeled the skin out of the trace. They also tore the skin from his fingers where he had been given the unction or, blessed with drops of oil. Then they drove needles under his fingernails. Finally tiring of his constant prayers for them as they tortured him, they tore out his tongue and crushed his skull. The most amazing part of this is that two hundred years later, when the body was exhumed (part of the canonization process) from the crypt for identification; it had not decayed at all. His corpse was in nearly perfect condition. 9. Isaiah 740 BC Many religious historians believe that Isaiah was executed by sawing, a type of capital punishment used in that period. It is one of the most brutal and painful ways in which a man can die. A favorite execution method of the Roman Emperor Caligula, it involved sawing a man in half, lengthwise. The person being executed is hung upside down with each leg tied to a pole so that the legs are spread. The executioner then saws him in half with a huge saw, starting at the groin. The person, screaming in agony, lives much longer then they would like to as the brain is being supplied with blood continuously via gravity and no major arteries are severed until the saw reaches the mid-abdomen. It will also give you a splitting headache. (Sorry, I just could not resist.) 8. Li Si 208 BC Leave it to the Chinese to invent an execution so hideous that it makes their “Water Torture” and “Death by a Thousand Cuts” seem like something we do at our children’s birthday parties. The Five Pains death also has an incredible irony attached to it as the sick asshole who invented this insidious style of lethal punishment (Qin Shi Huangdi, chief advisor to the emperor) was executed with it, giving him first hand knowledge of his work. It begins with cutting off the condemned one’s nose. Then they chop off a hand. After he has suffered a while with no nose and only one hand to pick it with if he had, they lob off a foot. If that does not make your sphincter pucker, men, grab your balls. The fourth pain is castration, followed by what I hope they do before the fourth pain, should I ever do something to deserve this, (which I will not) they saw you in half at the midsection. Talk about your emperor with little or no sense of humor and absolutely no mercy, this is one death that would be hard to swallow. 7. Mithridates 401 BC Scaphism is a form of extended or drawn out death that is so insidious I am ashamed to be a part of a species that would invent it. Mithridates, pronounced Myth ri date eez, was just a poor slob in the wrong place at the wrong time. During a battle, Mithridates stuck a dart in the temple of Cyrus the Younger, accidentally mistaking him for the enemy. His punishment was death by bug. Scaphism is the taking of two small boats or hollowed out trunks and the accused lays down in one while the other is placed over him. The only thing sticking out of this little prison is his head, hands, and feet. They force him to drink a huge, bloating amount of honey and milk, causing severe diarrhea. They rub even more honey all over the body of the poor, confused, dead man walking. (or in this case, dead man crapping) Once Mithridates was locked in, they set him in the water and anchored him so that his face was in constant sunshine, possibly on a scum filled, stagnant pond. From this point forward, nature takes over. Covered in feces and his own excrement, bugs are soon swarming him. From the flies, maggots, and beetles that eat decaying flesh to wasps and hornets attracted by the sweet nectar, his body is stung and eaten away. He was given no food or water but the force-feeding most likely continued to occur daily to ensure fresh feces for the hungry insects. He became a floating buffet. Hungry, dehydrated, and delirious, poor Mithridates lasted an astonishing 17 days and he suffered miserably every minute of it. 6. Saint Catherine of Alexandria 307 Saint Catherine was a martyr and a noted scholar. She converted from pagan to Christianity in her teens and was a powerful speaker and converter of souls. She took it upon herself to visit one of the worst persecutors of Christians, the Roman Emperor Maximinus, to convince him to stop. While Maximinus resisted her, she did succeed in converting his wife and many of his advisors. The emperor sent several of his pagan philosophers to convert her but they returned to Rome as Christians. He was compelled to imprison her only to have all that visited her leave converted so he sentenced her to death on the breaking wheel. The wheel, according to legend, broke at her slightest touch so he had her beheaded. Legend has it that angels came and flew her body away.
Generally primary sources are works that are generated at the time or by the person directly being studied. Examples include (but aren't limited too): truth and reconciliation hearings clubs or associations dedicated to remembering public memorials to past events/people historical autobiographies or memoirs scientific study of historical trauma or memory Secondary sources are generally produced by other scholars who have studied the event or person you are interested. Generally these include books and articles. The papers that you write for this class will be secondary sources that will help future scholars interested in the same topic you will write about.

Just think about it. One of the biggest causes of classroom management issues is that students come in with things on their minds. What are class meetings? Read on to learn how to conduct class meetings and get some ideas on how to run some. These ideas come from a book called Morning Meetings for Special Education Education by Felicia Durden, ED.D. However, morning meetings don’t just have to be for special education. What are class meetings? Class meetings are whatever you make them, but are meant to be a time set aside for checking in as a class, reinforcing key educational concepts, and developing social skills. As stated by Durden, the classroom environment is “pivotal in student achievement.” Conducting classroom meetings helps make for a safe, inclusive, orderly, attractive, and comfortable classroom environment. How do you run a class meeting effectively? It’s important that you have a format to your class meetings. Creating an orderly routine that is predictable for students is a key component of a class meeting. Make sure that you start, run, and end the class meetings the same way each time. You might begin by having the students each talk about how their mornings went, go into an activity, and then wrap up by addressing any classroom concerns. Having a clipboard where students can register their concerns in order might help ensure this process goes smoothly, so you address each concern in the order in which it is received. This way, it is fairer to the students and you can keep a running record of concerns addressed during the meetings. Your first morning meeting might address the rules and expectations in the classroom, and Durden suggests the following procedures (all you need is chart paper and a marker): - Start by asking the kids why rules are important - Write each kid’s ideas on the chart paper - Explain that you ‘ll be working on the rules and expectations for morning meeting, being clear that following rules is important for helping the meetings run more smoothly. - Have a T-chart ready with a picture of an eye and an ear so students can talk about what desired behavior looks and sounds like, but have predetermined rules in mind. - Talk to the kids about what each rule looks and sounds like and record responses on the T-chart. - Model the rules. For instance, pay attention looks like you are sitting up and looking at the speaker and sounds like silence. Then have students model behavioral expectations for each rule. - Reinforce rules daily until students fully understand the expectations. - Post the rules in a prominent location so they can be referred to. Durden states that starting off this way will help morning meetings go off without a hitch. Some things you can do during class meetings Class meetings don’t have to be boring. There are several things you can do during the meetings to make them fun and interesting. Class meetings can be used as a time for community building. In the early days, this might looks like establishing classroom jobs, setting up a picture schedule for visual learners and kids with autism, celebrating differences, and several other community building activities. One suggested community activity is building teams, for which you’ll need, again, just chart paper and a marker. This activity helps students feel like they are part of the group. Here is the suggested procedure from Durden for this activity: - Begin by telling students that they are part of the classroom community and team. - Explain how teams work together to get things done. - Ask students to share any teams they’ve been a part of. Write any and all examples on the chart. - Ask students how they think team players act. Write them on the paper, ensuring things, like working together and supporting others, are included. - Tell students they’ll be coming up with a classroom team name and a class cheer today. - Have students brainstorm team names and write them on the board. Once a few names are chosen, vote as a class on the team name. - Next, get students to come up with ideas for an appropriate cheer to represent the class. Have them share their team cheers and vote on the one the class will use. Model appropriate voice tone for the team cheer to prevent it from getting out of hand. - Each day, use the team cheer to bring the class together. You might also have games and contests, treasure hunts, skits and drama, and brain breaks as a part of community building. Social Development Activities Class meetings can also be used for building social development in students. Helping students understand the importance of listening, asking and answering questions, and eye contact may be a part of your morning meeting. Body language, respect, and character building are also important social skills to review during morning meetings. One activity that I liked from Durden’s book was about complimenting others. This involves creating a bulletin board that will be used to post compliments, giving each student a card, and asking them to write a compliment for a classmate on it. Make sure to add your own compliments as well, and have a time of sharing compliments with the class. Academic Skills Development The Morning Meetings book separates strategies for English Language Arts and Social Studies from Science and Math, but there are a plethora of activities to do for each subject area. For example, you might use the time for a read aloud of a story or work on writing letters. You might work on a word wall together or go over “Who, What, When, Why, and Where” with the students. You could work on a “What’s the Weather” activity, sorting activities with shapes, mental math, money activities, and science journals during class meeting time. Several other activities are suggested in Durden’s book, but you get the idea. You can use morning meeting time to go over brief academic mini-lessons that are engaging for the students. You may be skeptical about taking up class time for a meeting with the students, but the fact is that these meetings can prevent many problems in the classroom because you address them before class begins. They can run anywhere from just 15 minutes to 30 minutes. Just set a timer to keep to your time schedule and place things on the meeting agenda on the next class meeting agenda. You’ll find that not only is classroom management easier, but the students in your class will become closer to one another. With these benefits in mind, it’s worth the effort to try class meetings out.
The principle "Ethically Aligned Design (v2): General Principles" has mentioned the topic "security" in the following places: 1. Principle 1 — Human Rights To best honor human rights, society must assure the safety and security of A IS so that they are designed and operated in a way that benefits humans: 4. Principle 4 — Transparency (The mechanisms by which transparency is provided will vary significantly, for instance 1) for users of care or domestic robots, a why did you do that button which, when pressed, causes the robot to explain the action it just took, 2) for validation or certification agencies, the algorithms underlying the A IS and how they have been verified, and 3) for accident investigators, secure storage of sensor and internal state data, comparable to a flight data recorder or black box.) 5. Principle 5 — A IS Technology Misuse and Awareness of It Providing ethics education and security awareness that sensitizes society to the potential risks of misuse of A IS (e.g., by providing “data privacy” warnings that some smart devices will collect their user’s personal data).
I noticed this morning that on this date in 1934, there had been one of the huge dust storms that characterized the Dust Bowl. While reading that article, I got distracted by a link to the Llano Estacado region of West Texas, an area of wall-to-wall f^%k-all. Except for Palo Duro Canyon, from which Col. Ranald Mackenzie evicted the Kiowa and Comanche in an eponymous battle in the 1870s. Col. Mackenzie had been a general during the War of Northern Agression, including being wounded at the Battle of Cedar Creek, where he had commanded a unit under General Phil Sheridan. Sheridan, of course, had a distinguished career, and the air-droppable M551 tank was named after him. The tank was deployed for both Operation Just Cause and Operation Desert Storm, but saw the most service in Vietnam, where it was used by the 11th ACR, the Black Horse, during the invasion of Cambodia. The 11th is now best known as the OPFOR at the National Training Center at Fort Irwin, near Barstow in California. Barstow probably wouldn't be a blip on anyone's consciousness if it weren't for the fact that Route 66 passes through. Route 66 was part of the National Highway system, and in the 1930s, it was crowded with westbound Okies fleeing the Dust Bowl.
Parent-Led Intervention May Reduce Autism Severity For the first time, researchers say they have evidence that parent-led intervention for young kids with autism continues to yield gains several years later. Children who participated in an intervention between the ages of 2 and 4 displayed less severe symptoms six years later, exhibiting fewer repetitive behaviors and better social communication, according to findings published this week in the journal The Lancet. “Our findings are encouraging, as they represent an improvement in the core symptoms of autism previously thought very resistant to change,” said Jonathan Green of the University of Manchester and Royal Manchester Children’s Hospital in England who led the study. Advertisement - Continue Reading Below The findings come from a follow-up to what’s known as the Preschool Autism Communication Trial, or PACT, which was published in 2010. For the trial, children with autism were randomly assigned to either participate in a 12-month early intervention program or simply receive standard care. All of the kids initially displayed similar levels of autism severity. Parents of those in the intervention group participated in 18 sessions over the course of the year where they watched videos of themselves interacting with their child and got feedback from therapists so that they could understand how to better communicate. These moms and dads also agreed to spend 20 to 30 minutes each day engaged in planned communication and play with their child. Six years after completing the initial study, researchers conducted new assessments of 59 children who received the parent-focused intervention and 62 kids who did not. They found that 17 percent fewer children in the intervention group had severe symptoms as compared to kids whose parents did not get the specialized training. What’s more, researchers found that children in the treatment group communicated better with their parents even though assessments showed no difference in language scores between them and the other kids studied. However, both groups of youngsters continued to display comparable levels of anxiety, challenging behaviors and depression. “This is not a ‘cure,’ in the sense that the children who demonstrated improvements will still show remaining symptoms to a variable extent, but it does suggest that working with parents to interact with their children in this way can lead to improvements in symptoms over the long-term,” Green said.
Symptoms of MCI are often frustrating causing some persons to withdraw from social activities. To help cope with the changes caused by MCI, finding support is very important. - Stay active: keep up with interests. Make modifications when possible to accommodate for short term memory or other changes. Speak to the Care Pathway Coordinator about other memory loss strategies for coping and maintaining brain health. - Lead a healthy lifestyle: - Eat right, your brain needs proper food and liquid to function normally - Exercise, there is a lot of evidence that aerobic exercise slows cognitive decline - Maintain sleep hygiene and address problems if they exist. - Talk with others about your concerns: let close friends and family know what you are going through so that you may gain their support. Connect to one of CNADC’s support groups for patients living with memory loss here. - Clinical Social Workers are available to meet with patients of the Neurobehavior and Memory Clinic. Learn more about Clinical Social Workers and the role they can play in managing MCI. To Family and Friends Consider how the changes caused by MCI are affecting the person’s life. Support this person to stay active and find strategies for coping. Keep in mind that the memory loss and other changes are caused by the MCI and cannot be controlled by the person.
If you’re a business owner, it’s likely that your company has been collecting data for years. And in the world of big data, it’s becoming more and more common to analyze historical data in order to find patterns and trends. But what if you want to analyze this information as it happens? This is where real-time data processing comes into play. Real-Time Data Processing refers to the ability of an application or database to accept streaming information in near-real time while being able to quickly process, store and analyze that data. It can be used across many industries including healthcare, finance and retail—just name a few! What Is Real-Time Data Processing? Data processing is the act of taking raw data and converting it into something meaningful. At its most basic level, this can mean simply storing your data in a format that you can access later. However, with more advanced tools and techniques available today–and especially as we continue to move towards real-time analytics–it’s important to understand what exactly real-time data processing means and how it differs from traditional methods of analyzing information. In short: Real-time data processing refers to analyzing information as soon as it comes in, rather than waiting until after an initial batch has been completed (which could take hours). For example, let’s say that you have sensors set up around your house which are constantly monitoring temperature levels throughout the day; with traditional methods of analysis (i.e., when these readings were collected), this would require taking all of them at once at midnight or some other predetermined time period; however if they were instead being analyzed immediately upon arrival via real-time processing systems then there would be no need for such rigid schedules since each new reading would automatically trigger its own analysis without any intervention needed on behalf of human operators Why Should I Care About Real-Time Data Processing? Real-time data processing is used to keep your business running smoothly. It can be used to track and analyze the performance of your business, optimize your business operations and improve customer service. Let’s take a look at some examples of how real-time data processing can be used in production environments: - You’re a retailer with thousands of products on sale at any given time; you need an automated way of monitoring inventory levels so that when one item runs out (or becomes unavailable), another one can be automatically dispatched from the supplier without having human intervention involved in this process. This requires real-time monitoring and management systems that work around the clock without any downtime or delays in response time just like robots do! - Another example would be a bank which offers loans based on credit scores; if someone applies for one but gets declined because their score isn’t high enough then they might become frustrated enough not only quit applying altogether but also stop using services offered by other financial institutions as well–which means less profit over time due solely because someone wasn’t able receive timely information about their application status.” Where Does Relational Database Management Systems (RDBMS) Fall Short When It Comes To Real-Time Processing? Relational database management systems (RDBMS) are designed for storing and retrieving data. They don’t provide tools for analyzing data in real time, nor do they have visualizations that can be used to gain insights from your data. For example, an RDBMS will let you query a table of sales records by customer ID or product code, but it won’t let you see how many customers made purchases on specific days or what their average purchase price was over time. You could use RDBMSes to build models that predict when customers will likely buy again based on past behavior and other factors–but these models would only run once per day or week at best (and probably not even then!). What Are The Benefits Of Using A Time Series Database Instead Of An RDBMS? There are many benefits to using a time series database instead of an RDBMS. Time series databases are designed to handle high-volume data, sequential data and large amounts of it. They can also process real-time processing in production environments. What Types Of Analysis Can Be Done With Time Series Databases? Time series data is easy to query. Time series databases offer fast queries and high throughput for time-based data analysis, which makes it possible for you to use your data in real time. Time series databases can analyze across different dimensions. You can analyze your data by any dimension–for example, by geographic region or customer segment–and then compare those results with other dimensions like product category or location type (online vs offline). This capability allows businesses to look at their performance across multiple segments in order to make better decisions about how they should allocate resources and improve processes where necessary. Time series databases are capable of analyzing over time periods as well as real-time processing of data streams from IoT sensors connected directly into the database itself without requiring any ETL (extract transform load) processes beforehand! This means that you don’t need separate systems for handling historical information versus current events happening right now because everything happens within one single system! There are many benefits of using a time series database for real-time processing. There are many benefits of using a time series database for real-time processing. Time series databases are designed for high-performance and can handle large data sets. This means that your data will be stored in a way that allows it to be read from quickly, which is important when you’re looking at processing information in real time or near-real time. Time series databases also provide high availability and scalability, so you can have confidence that your system will remain up even if there’s an influx of traffic or activity on the server side of things (which may happen if you’re collecting live data). Finally, because they’re optimized specifically for storing time series data–and because this type of dataset often has specific requirements around consistency, durability and reliability–time series databases offer several advantages over general purpose database systems when it comes to handling events occurring now rather than later: As you can see, time series databases have many advantages over relational databases when it comes to real-time data processing. They are able to handle much larger datasets than RDBMS and also provide faster query speeds. This makes them ideal for applications such as finance where high-volume transactions need fast responses from data analysis systems at all times.

For to Us a Child Is Born: The Meaning of Isaiah 9:6 Isaiah 9:6 is a prophecy about a future child who would bear the government on his shoulders and be called by titles that could only rightfully be attributed to God: “For to us a child is born, to us a son is given, and the government will be on his shoulders. And he will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.” This is one of the most well-known Old Testament prophecies about Jesus. But what does it mean? The historical context of Isaiah 9 Isaiah speaks to people living in three time periods: before the Babylonian exile, during the Babylonian exile, and after the Babylonian exile. In chapter 9, Isaiah is speaking to the southern kingdom of Israel (Judah) before the Babylonian exile. Israel and Syria are pressuring Judah to form a coalition against Assyria. Ahaz, the king of Judah, is afraid to go against Assyria, so he sends a king's ransom to Assyria asking for their help. Isaiah spoke into a situation where Judah felt powerless, and they were afraid of the rulers to their north. As their enemies only seemed to grow in strength and tighten their grasp, they didn’t know if God was for them or against them or if he had simply abandoned them. And among Isaiah’s prophecies about their future defeat, exile, and return, he included two prophetic visions of a child who would represent God’s presence, embody his characteristics, and bear the responsibility of governing his people. Immanuel: God with us Two chapters before Isaiah says “For unto us a child is born,” he prophesied the birth child whose name would signify the presence of God: “Therefore the Lord himself will give you a sign: The virgin will conceive and give birth to a son, and will call him Immanuel. He will be eating curds and honey when he knows enough to reject the wrong and choose the right, for before the boy knows enough to reject the wrong and choose the right, the land of the two kings you dread will be laid waste.” —Isaiah 7:14–16 Immanuel means “God with us.” Like Isaiah 9:6, this verse is believed to be a prophecy about Jesus. In fact, the Gospel of Matthew quotes this passage in 1:23 as it recounts the story of Jesus’ birth. This prophecy is an encouragement that God is indeed on Judah’s side, and an assurance that by the time this child is grown, Assyria and Syria will be defeated. “For to us a child is born” Isaiah 9:6 speaks of a child, too. And while it’s somewhat ambiguous whether or not this is the same child mentioned in Isaiah 7, both passages describe Jesus’ birth and character. “The government will be on his shoulders” means he will bear the responsibility of governing the people. Verse 7 clarifies: he will do this forever. “Of the greatness of his government and peace there will be no end. He will reign on David’s throne and over his kingdom, establishing and upholding it with justice and righteousness from that time on and forever. The zeal of the Lord Almighty will accomplish this.” Two of the titles this child will bear—Wonderful Counselor and Prince of Peace—could apply to a mortal human. And in a time when Judah desperately needed wisdom and peace, these would have been traits they greatly desired in a leader. But the other two—Mighty God and Everlasting Father—are names that would seem to clearly apply to God. But the Israelites weren’t expecting God to be born and live among them. They had no concept of the incarnation, and names and titles always carried symbolic weight to remind the Israelites about who their God was. So they would have seen this prophecy differently. Was it a prophecy about Hezekiah? It’s easy for modern Christians to read passages like Isaiah 7:14 and Isaiah 9:6 and to think: “A name like ‘God with us’ is clearly referring to the incarnation in Jesus Christ. And the empires Israel was afraid of were defeated before Jesus’ time. And titles like ‘Mighty God’ and ‘Everlasting Father’ could only apply to a child who was also divine, like Jesus.” But the Judeans believed they were in immediate need of a physical savior. The kings they were afraid of were knocking on their door. They probably thought this prophecy was about Ahaz's son—their future king—Hezekiah. But as we see later on in the book (chapters 38 and 39), Hezekiah died as a grown man, while the Israelites were still in captivity. And he could hardly be nicknamed “God with us” when he only turned to prayer on his deathbed. The Word became flesh In the Gospel of John, we read about the fulfillment of Isaiah’s prophecy. The child who bore these qualities was born centuries later, not a single generation later. And he would not be merely human, but the incarnation of the living God. “The Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us. We have seen his glory, the glory of the one and only Son, who came from the Father, full of grace and truth.” —John 1:14 In the Gospel of Luke, the angel Gabriel directly alludes to this famous prophecy when he tells Mary about Jesus: “He will be great and will be called the Son of the Most High. The Lord God will give him the throne of his father David, and he will reign over Jacob’s descendants forever; his kingdom will never end.” —Luke 1:32–33 The only king who could reign forever is one who would live forever. And the only one who could rightfully hold God’s titles was God himself. Israel was looking for an immediate remedy to their physical and political problems. God’s solution wouldn’t come for centuries, but it would last forever. Jesus reigns to this day. Sign up complete.
Constitution: We the people own it As we approach Sept. 17-23, 2013 Constitutional Week, let’s remember what has brought us, the state and the nation to where we are today. If at any time in history there is a need to remind ourselves what our forefathers sacrificed for all of us, it is now. In the past several years the Constitution has been challenged and disrespected by our news media, our state and federal governments, citizens and religious factions. Let’s reflect on how our forefathers created such a document based upon Christian beliefs to preserve the country in their day and in the future in the mist of hostile forces, knowing if they failed, all would lose their families, fortunes and most of all, their lives. Our forefathers (delegates from every colony) assembled in 1787 at the Constitutional Convention, chose to replace then revise the Articles of Confederation. The delegates held their meeting in secret to evaluate representation, slavery, taxes and procedures in the election of a president. For four months, debates, arguments and compromise dominated the meetings. Several state delegates created their own plans on how a new government should work. After months of debating the delegates opinions, suggestions, thoughts and insights the first draft of the Constitution was accepted Aug. 6, 1787. With the first draft in place, delegates continued to discuss, debate, fine tune the final draft and vote on the Constitution. After the final vote, the Constitution was sent to the states where nine states where needed for success. The first state to ratify the Constitution was Delaware and the ninth state was New Hampshire, nine months after the process began. The U.S. Constitution was signed Sept. 17, 1787, laying out the structure of the American government we know today and is the oldest written Constitution. The framers of the Constitution worried immensely about the dangers of concentrated power from their experiences dealing with Britain’s king and parliament. When designing the Constitution, the framers were careful to create a system of government which no individual or institution could obtain tyrannical power. They designed the United States government with the power to check and balance the others into three coequal branches - Legislative, Executive and Judicial. This system of government for 226 years has propelled our nation to the heights no other civilization has achieved in history of the world and reminds you of the quote, “If it’s not broke, don’t fix it.” It is never so prevalent with the latest attempts by our federal and state governments in the past year, to infringe on the people’s rights that were given to us by the men that were determined against all odds, sacrificing life and limb and with their deep faith in God, give us the life they could only dream of. As we embark using the Constitution as our guide like are ancestors before us, strive for excellence that propels patriotism, principles and prosperity along with our faith in God. We, the People of the United States take an oath and have the responsibility as citizens of this country to protect, defend and preserve The Constitution for our children and grandchildren’s future, because We the People Own It.
Welcome to Hard Fork Basics, a collection of tips, tricks, guides, and advice to keep you up to date in the cryptocurrency and blockchain world. With every week that passes there is a new use for blockchain that promises us a better and brighter future. Blockchain is now being used for more than just cryptocurrency, and every iteration is different to the last. With the sheer diversity of envisioned use cases, two fundamentally different blockchain models have cropped up: permissioned and permissionless. In this edition of Hard Fork Basics, we’re going to define what these two terms mean. A permissionless blockchain you say? Many consider the the permissionless model to be closer to the original concept of blockchain, as outlined by Satoshi Nakamoto. A permissionless blockchain is quite simple, as its name suggests, no permission is required to become part of this blockchain network and contribute to its upkeep. In theory, anyone and anything can become part of a permissionless blockchain. Permissionless is, in many ways, just a fancy way of saying “public.” As anyone can join a permissionless blockchain, they tend to be far more decentralized than a permissioned system. One trade-off is that permissionless blockchains are often slower than permissioned alternatives. Transaction information stored on permissionless blockchains is usually validated by the public. With no third-parties to regulate what goes on, the system relies on this to reach a public consensus on what transactions are considered true. But what if you need more control and privacy? Enter, permissioned blockchains Permissioned blockchains flip the whole idea of a blockchain on its head. Blockchains were originally intended to be open, free, and public systems, but a permissioned blockchain is effectively the opposite. Permissioned blockchains can also be called private blockchains. Again, in principle it’s quite simple; permissioned blockchains require permission to join. As a result, the owner of a permissioned blockchain has the ability to dictate who can and cannot become part of its network. This control also means the blockchain owner can: dictate the network’s structure, issue software updates, and generally control everything that takes place on their blockchain. Information on permissioned blockchains is validated only by approved members of that blockchain. The owner can also control who sees that information. In some cases the public will be able to view certain information stored on a private, permissioned blockchain. Take Walmart for example; the American supermarket is planning to track vegetables on the blockchain to try and reduce instances of E. Coli. The information is validated and approved by Walmart and its suppliers, but the public will be able to trace produce back to its origin. Due to the restrictive and smaller nature of permissioned blockchains they tend to be more scalable, and operate faster. They are often more centralized than permissionless blockchains. In a permissionless blockchain, the public validates transaction information. In permissioned systems, transaction information is validated by a select group approved by the blockchain’s owner. Permissioned systems tend to be more scalable and faster, but are more centralized. Permissionless systems are open for all to join, and as a result, usually more decentralized, the trade off is speed and scalability. Published November 5, 2018 — 15:54 UTC
Through my research and learning about peaceful parenting I have learned that force, threats, and punishment (defined as intentional “suffering, pain, or loss that serves as retribution”) are not the most effective forms of discipline if our goal is to produce children who do the right thing because they want to do the right thing (rather than doing the right thing for fear of being punished). Punishment would include spanking, timeout/isolation, withdrawal of love or affection, removal of something desirable, demanding that the child does something undesirable that makes them feel shamed, etc. Punishment always makes children feel worse – and you can’t truly do or become better by feeling worse (see this post). Punishment is psychologically damaging. Punishment always pits us against our child and erodes at our relationship with them, harming the one thing that gives us real, positive influence with them – our loving connection. Punishment sends children into fight or flight, where it is impossible to reason and learn. See this article about what’s wrong with strict (authoritarian) parenting, and this one about why punishment doesn’t teach accountability. Natural consequences, on the other hand, can be excellent teachers. But when a lot of parents talk about “consequences” what they’re really referring to is punishment (e.g. “If I hear any more fighting, there will be consequences!”). A consequence is defined as “a result or effect of an action or condition.” It happens naturally, on its own. When we feel like we have to fabricate arbitrary consequences in order for our children to learn a lesson (even if they seem logical), those “consequences” are never as effective as natural consequences because, if we are the one causing the painful outcome, our children are more likely to view it the same way they view punishment, which sends them into fight or flight and causes them to view us as the enemy. When we allow natural consequences to happen, while offering empathy, our children have a greater chance of learning desirable lessons from them, while also building their trust and connection with us, which increases the likelihood that they’ll follow us in the future. For example, the consequence of my child messing around at bedtime instead of getting ready for bed is that we run out of time for bedtime stories. We could push bedtime back and still read stories, saving her from the consequence of her actions, but there is a valuable lesson to be learned in the natural consequence that follows when we don’t do what we need to do, when we need to do it. So instead we set firm limits with empathy (the empathy is important here!). On the other hand, we could treat this as a punishment by saying, “That’s it! No bedtime stories! That’s what you get for messing around instead of brushing your teeth!” But then our child is less likely to cooperate or to follow us in the future than she would be if we say (in a sincere tone), “Oh sweetie, I know how much you want to read bedtime stories. That’s your favorite part of the bedtime routine, huh? But sweetheart, we’re out of time. I’m sorry this is hard. Maybe tomorrow night if you hurry fast enough we might have time for an extra story!” Empathizing through the natural consequence (while staying firm) is more effective and more loving than punishment. But wait – God is the perfect parent, and He punishes His children when they’re wicked, right? Knowing what I know about discipline and feeling its truth so strongly, I was really confused by the fact that the scriptures talk over and over about God’s wrath and about Him punishing the wicked. I had a hard time reconciling that in my mind with the idea of a gentle, merciful, loving God – especially when I consider how the Savior handled situations with sinners (see below). Surely our Heavenly Father knows how His children learn best, and what will change their hearts (and thus, their behavior). So what was I missing? Why would He use punishment? Before I go on, let me be clear that God’s ways are higher than our ways, and that we more than likely will not understand all of His ways in this life. Whatever the Lord does, or whatever He requires, is right – even if we don’t understand His reasons – of that I have no doubt. If He chooses to use punishment, then that is right. But for the sake of understanding what His will is in my parenting, I have sought to understand this issue better. Is punishment (intentionally causing pain) His way? We know that “there is a law, irrevocably decreed in heaven before the foundations of this world, upon which all blessings are predicated—And when we obtain any blessing from God, it is by obedience to that law upon which it is predicated” (D&C 130:20-21). Likewise, if we break those laws then the blessings attached to them do not come to us. We know that the natural consequences of sin are always negative, and the Lord doesn’t intervene to protect us from the effects of our sins unless we fully and sincerely repent (see 2 Nephi 2:7 and D&C 19:16). These natural consequences are often very effective. But what about punishment? Does God, in His wrath, actually inflict punishment on the wicked? Or is their ‘punishment’ simply a natural result of breaking eternal laws? In the Book of Mormon there is a story about a Nephite army and a Lamanite army. The formerly-righteous Nephites had become hardened and vengeful and blood-thirsty and filled with a desire to destroy their enemies, the Lamanites. Mormon, the Nephites’ righteous commander, refused to continue leading them from that point forward because of their wickedness, but they went to battle anyway. Mormon 4:4-5 reads, “And it was because the armies of the Nephites went up unto the Lamanites that they began to be smitten; for were it not for that, the Lamanites could have had no power over them. But, behold, the judgments of God will overtake the wicked; and it is by the wicked that the wicked are punished; for it is the wicked that stir up the hearts of the children of men unto bloodshed” (emphasis added). God didn’t force the Lamanites to destroy the Nephites because of their wickedness. I don’t believe that force and destruction are part of His nature. But He did allow it to happen, because the Nephites refused to repent and thus were beyond the reach of His mercy (see Mosiah 2:38-39). I wonder if sometimes when men in the scriptures talk about punishment, they’re really referring to natural (negative) consequences of sin that God allows to happen because the sinners refuse to repent. Perhaps it’s an issue of semantics and defining punishment and rewards/blessings: Following eternal laws results in positive natural consequences called blessings (which are attached to the specific laws, and which the Lord delights in bestowing); and perhaps breaking eternal laws – sinning – without repenting results in negative natural consequences called punishments, which are attached to those crimes (see 2 Nephi 2:10). I don’t think God comes up with arbitrary consequences for our actions; rather, our consequences are already affixed. Living a life full of love and service naturally leads to positive relationships and connections with others, as well as the ability to be influenced by the Spirit. Living a life of murder and bloodshed naturally leads to enemies who seek to destroy you, as well as other negative consequences of sin. We might better understand this as the law of justice. LDS.org says, “In scriptural terms, justice is the unchanging law that brings consequences for actions. Because of the law of justice, we receive blessings when we obey God’s commandments. The law of justice also demands that a penalty be paid for every sin we commit. When the Savior carried out the Atonement, He took our sins upon Himself. He was able to “answer the ends of the law” (2 Nephi 2:7) because He subjected Himself to the penalty that the law required for our sins. In doing so, He “satisfied the demands of justice” and extended mercy to everyone who repents and follows Him (see Mosiah 15:9; Alma 34:14-16). Because He has paid the price for our sins, we will not have to suffer that punishment if we repent (see D&C 19:15-20).” So mercy does not negate the need for that penalty, or “punishment,” to be paid, but rather, it allows for Someone else to pay that price on our behalf if we will receive Him and repent. When we refuse to repent, that penalty must still be paid — just as “what goes up must come down,” all sin must be paid for. So that punishment when we refuse to repent is not our Heavenly Father’s way of getting back at us or trying to hurt us, it is simply the law of justice being upheld. The Lord’s definition of punishment does not appear to be the same as man’s. How about the definition of wrath? I really liked this perspective on the wrath of God: “The works of God are works of love and restoration. They always have been, and always will be. . . . Those who are opposed to God’s love and restoration in the world will experience an aspect of God’s love that feels like wrath, because the forces that oppose love will one day be either transformed or eliminated from creation. . . . God’s story . . . [is] a story of purging all that is not loving, until everything is restored and only love remains. . . . Love purges war, famine, disease, oppression, hatred, violence, and everything else that fights against love. It’s what love does. . . . Those who refuse to partner with love, and insist on continuing to fight in opposition to all that love does, will experience a side of love that does not feel like love. To them, it might even feel like wrath. Thus, when we affirm the “wrath of God” it’s not so much an affirmation of wrath at all—but an affirmation of love.” In other words, I believe that God’s wrath is not anger or hatred toward His children, but toward sin and evil, which He naturally purges because “God is love” (1 John 4:8). And those on the other side, who refuse to join with Him, will naturally be purged as well. From the New Testament student manual: “The “wrath” of God is not hostility toward mankind; rather, it is rejection of sin.” So perhaps “punishment” is a result of His wrath — toward sin and all that attach themselves to sin and refuse to let go. So then how does God discipline His children? (And remember that ‘discipline’ means ‘to teach.’) Check out part 2 where we’ll look at God’s character and the way He disciplines us.
In the late 1940s, a grocery chain from Philadelphia approached the Drexel Institute of Technology to develop custom automation that could store and read information about products during checkout. A teacher at the institute – Norman Joseph Woodland – took up the task, experimenting with various data collection methods. He eventually found one that worked, a technique that utilized Morse code to represent an assigned number for the product. Instead of the typical dots associated with Morse code, however, he extended these into lines to create a linear code. (more…) The importance of custom machine vision as a component of modern industrial automation cannot be denied. When it comes to automation, engineering cameras, sensors and software into an automated factory will essentially provide it with sight that in many ways surpasses that of human sight. By using machine vision techniques, automated production lines can accurately understand images, allowing robots and other automated implements to participate in a wide array of tasks without human supervision. (more…) Automation has transformed and continues to transform people’s lives worldwide. From self-driving vehicles to the manufacturing automation of industrial robots to logistical automation engineering in logistics, custom automation continues to change the world in which we live. In modern times, the term “automation” became more widely used from about 1947, when General Motors founded its automation department. This occurred during a time many industries began to adopt feedback controllers, which began to come into industrial use during the 1930s. Automation can utilize computerized, electronic, electrical, hydraulic, mechanic or pneumatic controls, or often combinations of any of these. Automation engineering is present in a number of complex systems, appearing in factories, airplanes, bullet trains and other of modern life. Today, custom automation even appears online in search engines, virtual assistants and other Internet-based systems. (more…)
Directive 93/43/EEC introduced the concept of good hygiene practice, in response to a pan‐European increase in the incidence of food poisoning, to foster a preventive approach to food safety. UK legislation reinforces the EU position that food businesses are responsible for the implementation of good hygiene practices. The response of the food industry has been to develop audited standards of hygiene, higher than explicit legal requirements. Small businesses have, however, been slow to adopt industry hygiene standards. A case study of small manufacturers of ready to eat meat products investigated the reasons for this. Businesses were first audited to the EFSIS standard, to compare current practice with recommended best practice. Second, technical managers or owner‐managers were interviewed, to gain an insight into their knowledge of industry standards in particular, and the process of hygiene management in general. The analysis found significant differences in the knowledge of technical managers and owner‐managers, with the latter often unaware of the existence of audited standards. It is argued, therefore, that, in order to increase the implementation of good hygiene practices, further programmes to inform small food businesses about industry standards are required.

Nutrition for Brain Tumour Patients Malnutrition at the diagnosis of cancer is not an uncommon finding in the developing world. Nutrition is very important for Children with Cancer, because the presence of the tumour as well as the treatments that they undergo play havoc with their immune systems as well as various other systems in their little bodies. Malnutrition describes the consequences of insufficient protein-energy intake. Malnutrition is an unspecific term used to define an inadequate nutritional condition. It is characterized by either a deficiency or an excess of energy with measurable adverse effects on clinical outcome. Malnutrition describes the consequences of insufficient protein-energy intake. An adequate protein-energy balance is a prerequisite for age-appropriate growth and maintenance. The occurrence of malnutrition in children with cancer is multifactoral. While some children arrive at the hospital already malnourished due to personal home circumstances, between 40-80% of children will become malnourished during their treatment. The prevalence of malnutrition is also related to the type of tumour the child is diagnosed with as well as the extent of the disease. Malnutrition is more commonly seen in patients with advanced Neuroblastoma, Wilms Tumour, Ewing Sarcoma and advanced Lymphomas. Malnutrition is more severe with aggressive tumours in the later stages of malignancy; the more intensive treatment regimens, the more chance there is of the child becoming malnourished. A malignant tumour leads to changes in a child’s metabolism; their system is unable to regulate the expenditure of energy according to the reduced energy intake, leading to an ineffective use of nutrients and contributing to the development of malnutrition. Children with a poor nutritional status have lower survival rates than those with a good nutritional status. One study conducted on 18 children with newly diagnosed stage IV Neuroblastoma found that malnourished paediatric cancer patients were more likely to relapse and or die 1 year into the treatment than those who were well-nourished. The median survival for the group who was malnourished was 5 months versus 12 months for the well-nourished group. Children with cancer, especially those with solid tumours, have reduced body protein stores due to whole body protein breakdown. This may occur as a result of the cancer itself, the treatment they are undergoing for their tumour, or complications of the disease. The breakdown of lean body mass is a common effect of cancer, making the assessment of body composition a critical part of the nutritional assessment. Tumour types associated with malnutrition for Paediatric Oncology Patients |High risk for undernourishment||Moderate risk for undernourishment||High risk for |Solid tumours with advanced stages||Nonmetastatic solid tumours||Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia receiving cranial irradiation| |Wilms tumours||Uncomplicated Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia||Craniopharyngeoma| |Neuroblastoma stage III and IV Rhabdomyosarcoma||Advanced diseases in remission during maintenance treatment||Malignancies with large and prolonged doses of cortisone therapy or other drugs increasing body fat stores| |Ewing Sarcoma||Total body or abdominal or cranial irradiation| According to the American Academy of Paediatrics, children may be considered obese on the basis of a BMI standard deviation score (BMI-SDS) of greater than the 95th percentile Obesity at diagnosis has been associated with lower survival rates in children with cancer, especially those with ALL, AML, or Brain Tumours. Obesity at diagnosis of cancer is also associated with increased risk of obesity at the end of the treatment and in survivorship Obesity in survivorship can lead to an impaired glucose tolerance, diabetes mellitus, hypertension, cardiovascular disease, higher risk of developing certain forms of cancer, and less of a chance of survival should they develop cancer again late in life. Obese children with cancer have significantly lower survival rates compared with other patients. Overweight children diagnosed with cancer after age 10 have a significantly lower mean 5-year event-free survival rate and a higher mean risk of relapse than normal weight children. Mechanisms underlying the association between obesity and cancer are only starting to be understood. Most studies to date regarding obesity in children with cancer during and after treatment have concentrated on those with ALL or brain tumours due to the high risk of hypothalamic-pituitary axis damage caused by the treatment regimens or the location of the tumour. Several studies have shown that children who were obese at diagnosis became between 30% and 40% more overweight by the end of treatment. This excessive weight-gain has been attributed to reduced physical activity, exposure to corticosteroids, growth hormone (GH) deficiency/hypothalamic-pituitary axis damage due to cranial Radiation Treatment (RT), and poor dietary habits. How to Ensure Adequate Nutrition for your Child with Cancer Nutritional intervention for children with cancer is challenging, especially for those who do not have the means to employ the use of a qualified nutritionist, but there are many things that one can do at home to ensure that your child with cancer is getting adequate nutrition. Children with cancer need protein, carbohydrates, fat, water, vitamins, and minerals. Your child’s cancer itself as well as the treatment s they undergo will often cause changes in their eating habits or desire to eat. Not eating can lead to weight loss, and can cause weakness and fatigue. Helping your child eat as well as they can is an important part of helping them through their treatment and increasing their chances of survival. Use Healthy Fats Including healthy dietary fats in your child’s diet during their cancer treatment is important in treating their brain cancer: - Avoid saturated fats and hydrogenated oils (Whole milk products, Butter and margarine, High fat red meat (except grass-fed), Processed meats (like bacon, hot dogs), French fries and other deep-fried foods, Partially hydrogenated oils in pastries, crackers, processed foods); - Use healthy oils like olive oil and fish oil, which can boost the immune system while reducing inflammation and swelling. Healthy fats include Fish (salmon, flounder, herring, sardines); Olive oil, canola oil, flax oil, and coconut oil; Nuts and natural nut butters; Ground flax-seed; Chia seeds; Wheat germ; Avocado and Olives; - Omega-3 fats, found in fish and flax-seed oil, are extremely advantageous in reducing tumour resistance to therapy; - Olive oil is an Omega-9 fat and a healthy source of dietary fat – use moderately in food preparation. - Sugar feeds cancerous cells and suppresses the immune system during cancer treatment; - Cancer cells can consume 10 to 15 times more sugar than normal cells do, which increases the chances of inflammation; - During brain cancer treatment, you should reduce your child’s intake of refined sugar and carbohydrates; they can be replaced with whole-grain products and naturally sweet vegetables like sweet potatoes. Increase Fibre Intake - A diet high in fibre can decrease your child’s chances of becoming constipated or getting diarrhoea, lower their cholesterol and triglyceride levels, and regulate their blood sugar level; - Your child may get a good amount of fibre from whole grain breads and cereals, but fresh fruits, vegetables, and legumes (such as peas, beans or lentils) provide a higher intake of fibre. - Your child should try to eat 4 to 5 servings of vegetables and 1 to 2 servings of fruit; - If your child is not getting enough fibre via their diet, mix one to two tablespoons of ground flaxseed into their yoghurt, porridge, salads, or smoothies. Fruits & Vegetables - The more fruits and vegetables your child eats the better for them. Select Vegetables and Fruits with Vivid Colours because they will appeal more to your child, but also because the more intense the colour, the higher the nutritional content. - Try the “3-colours-a-day” trick as an easy way of ensuring your child eats enough variety of fruits and vegetables. For example, blueberries (1) with breakfast, dark leafy lettuce (2) on the lunch sandwich, and red peppers (3) with chicken at dinner. - Don’t shy away from canned vegetables, especially if they make your life easier right now. Frozen fruits and vegetables are also a healthy alternative. “Phyto” means plant, and phytochemicals are nutrients derived from plants. Although phytochemicals have not yet been classified as nutrients (substances necessary for sustaining life), they are healthy buzzwords in both nutrition and cancer research. - Phytochemicals have been identified as containing properties for aiding in the prevention and/or treatment of at least four of the leading causes of death in Western countries – cancer, diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and hypertension. - Phytonutrients appear to stimulate the immune system, exhibit antibacterial and antiviral activity, decrease cholesterol levels, prevent cancer cell replication, and generally, help your body fight cancer. For more information on Phytochemicals, you can download America’s Phytonutrient Report in PDF form HERE Make sure that your child drinks sufficient fluids, as additional fluids are needed to replace fluid lost during chemotherapy and through treatment side effects. The human body needs water for the following essential functions: - Remove waste and toxins - Transport nutrients and oxygen - Control heart rate and blood pressure - Regulate body temperature - Lubricate joints - Protect organs and tissue, including the eyes, ears, and heart - Create saliva Children often lose a lot of water from vomiting, diarrhoea, or by just not drinking enough. This can lead to dehydration, but it can be handled by making sure your child gets plenty of fluids. Children get some water from foods, especially fruits and vegetables, but they need to drink liquids as well to be sure that all the body cells get the fluid they need. Tap, filtered, or bottled water is best, but your child can also get necessary fluids from other sources like sports drinks, juices (100% juice is best), and clear broths. The use of supplements is rather controversial, but according to Dr. Wallace, who holds a PhD in nutrition and is a nutrition consultant, a diet rich in natural supplementation will reduce side effects of treatments. Supplements that are currently recommended for brain cancer patients include: Vitamin D – Vitamin D deficiency that occurred before birth may have set the stage for brain tumour formation later in life. Vitamin D deficiency during gestation causes long-term effects on brain development (Levenson CW et al 2008). Vitamin D remains important after birth, as it activates chemical pathways, in particular the sphingomyelin pathway, which kills glioblastoma cells (Magrassi L et al 1998). - Melatonin – There is growing evidence suggesting melatonin may be useful in treating primary brain tumours. An in vitro experiment showed that melatonin, at physiologic concentrations, inhibits growth of neuroblastoma cells (Cos S et al 1996). A 2006 paper published in Cancer Research reported that melatonin stopped the growth of gliomas that had been implanted into rats (Martín V et al 2006). As a result, some researchers suggest melatonin might be useful in treating glioma (Wion D et al 2006). The strongest evidence for the use of melatonin in brain cancer is in treating pituitary tumours (Gao L 2001). and (Yang QH et al 2006). - Folic Acid and 5-MTHF – Natural folate from food and folic acid from supplements must be converted into the active form, 5-MTHF (5-methyltetrahydrofolate), by the enzyme 5,10-methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR). In certain people the gene that codes for this enzyme produces a less effective enzyme. In some studies, the risk for glioma in these people is increased by about 23% while meningioma risk is more than doubled (Sirachainan N et al 2008, Bethke L et al 2008, Kafadar AM et al 2006). - Selenium – antioxidant that patients with brain tumours should consider. Exposing brain cancer cells to selenium makes them more sensitive to, and more likely to die after, radiation therapy (Schueller P et al 2004). Selenium inhibits growth and invasion, and induces apoptosis in various types of brain tumour cells, including malignant cell lines (Sundaram N et al 2000, Rooprai HK et al 2007). - Vitamin E – antioxidant of particular interest in connection with brain cancer; enhances chemotherapy treatment of drug resistant glioblastoma cells, increasing effectiveness (Kang YH et al 2005) Consult your child’s Oncology Team before giving him or her any supplements. Managing Side Effects with Nutrition It may be hard for your child to eat a balanced diet during their cancer treatment. Various side effects of their treatment such as nausea, vomiting, diarrhoea, constipation, fatigue, and mouth sores (mucositis) can make eating very difficult. The following tips may help: - Nausea: Try a low-fat, bland diet of cold foods, products containing ginger, peppermint or sea bands to combat nausea; - Diarrhoea: Try a diet of bananas, white rice, applesauce and toast; it will help minimise irritation to the digestive tract. Water soluble fibre supplements may help form firmer a stool; - Constipation: Increase your child’s fibre intake and keep them hydrated by making sure they drink sufficient liquids; - Fatigue: Give your child small meals of protein-rich foods often; decrease their sugar intake to give them more energy. Certain iron and folic acid supplements may also help boost red blood cell count, but DO NOT give your child any vitamins or supplements without their oncologist’s permission. “Nutrition is an important part of the health of all children, but it is especially important for children getting cancer treatment.

Welcome to the February book review! This month we will be looking at, “Why We Get Fat and What To Do About It” by Gary Taubes. This book lives up to its title. At the end of the book, we should have an understanding of how we get fat, as well as the diet that is the most useful for losing weight. He sifts through centuries of research and data to only give us the most valuable nuggets of precious metal. My review will distill his thoughts further so you are left a philosopher’s stone of sorts. I have read this book a few times, and it is well worth your time and effort. I want to start with a quote from Taubes’ book, he was quoting a 1998 National Institutes of Health (NIH) report, “Obesity is a complex, multifactorial chronic disease that develops from an interaction of genotype and the environment,” they explained. “Our understanding of how and why obesity develops is incomplete, but involves the integration of social, behavioral, cultural, physiological, metabolic and genetic factors.” During the course of his book, he talks about these effects on obesity. The point he hammers home the hardest is that obesity is not a disease of overnutrition, it is the most prevalent form of malnutrition. Obesity is not a case of thermodynamics or calorie-in, calorie-out, however, the research seems to point to it being a hormonal imbalance, with a strong genetic component. If our parents are fat, we are more likely to be fat, or we may have a harder time maintaining a healthy body weight. This is a considerably quicker read than The Big Fat Surprise, however, do not judge this book by its size alone. It is jammed packed with nuggets of knowledge. These gold bombs come early and often. Taubes doesn’t even wait for the first chapter to start dropping them. In the introduction, he lays out the thesis for his book that he attempts to further prove throughout the book. One such quote is as follows: The science tells us that obesity is ultimately the result of a hormonal imbalance, not a caloric one— specifically, the stimulation of insulin secretion caused by eating easily digestible, carbohydrate-rich foods: refined carbohydrates, including flour and cereal grains, starchy vegetables such as potatoes, and sugars, like sucrose (table sugar) and high- fructose corn syrup. These carbohydrates literally make us fat, and by driving us to accumulate fat, they make us hungrier and they make us sedentary. During the first few pages, he also makes a connection to how the science of obesity research would have to evolve if it was subject to a trial in court. Most poignantly, even though the calories-in/calories-out and diet-heart hypotheses have both failed their supporters dug in their heels instead of ruling a guilty verdict. The quote from his book says it better than I could sum up: Imagine a murder trial in which one credible witness after another takes the stand and testifies that the suspect was elsewhere at the time of the killing and so had an airtight alibi, and yet the jurors keep insisting that the defendant is guilty, because that’s what they believed when the trial began. Consider the obesity epidemic. Here we are as a population getting fatter and fatter. Fifty years ago, one in every eight or nine Americans would have been officially considered obese, and today it’s one in every three. Two in three are now considered overweight, which means they’re carrying around more weight than the public-health authorities deem to be healthy. Children are fatter, adolescents are fatter, even newborn babies are emerging from the womb fatter. Throughout the decades of this obesity epidemic, the calories-in/calories-out, energy-balance notion has held sway, and so the health officials assume that either we’re not paying attention to what they’ve been telling us—eat less and exercise more—or we just can’t help ourselves. Much like Taubes, I have a hard time believing that the “common wisdom” to eat less and exercise more is true. I have seen friends and co-workers attempt to follow the US dietary guidelines, often times when they do they are left wrecked because of it. I have dealt with this myself, but instead of just calories, I also counted weight watchers points, then I started counting calories, points, and macros (plus sodium and fiber). I felt myself becoming addicted to the counting, but worst of all I felt like I was never full. At the time, I shrugged it off, since that’s what dieting is, right? No, it’s not just about the right magical amount of whatever number you are chasing then going for an extra run so you can get the points to cash them in for another Little Debbie’s snack cake. It is not about numbers, it is about eating the foods that will not cause the hormonal regulation that triggers the dysregulation; it is about eating foods that do not hijack your dopamine response. Because these foods seem to trigger addictive like tendencies making it that much harder to give up the sweet rewards. So that was a minor tirade, sorry. The last part was not directly from Taubes’ book, but it was some research I have been doing on the neuroregulation of appetite, and the signals your body sends when you get a huge dose of super sweet things. Okay, back to “Why We Get Fat.” This book is broken into two books, and I will be breaking this post into two sections as well. Book I is entitled, “Biology, Not Physics,” and the chapters I wanted to highlight are: - Why Were They Fat? - The Elusive Benefits of Exercise - Thermodynamics for Dummies, Part 1 - Thermodynamics for Dummies, Part 2 - Head Cases Book II is entitled “Adiposity 101,” and I will tell you the chapters I will be highlighting then. - Why Were They Fat? Now, let’s dive into chapter 1. Like in any good book, before telling us what to do, we must first understand why we need to make a change. Taubes approaches this by pointing out the flaws in nutritional science (much like The Big Fat Surprise does,) to illustrate that point he’s says, “[the] methods of science are supposed to guard against the adoption of false convictions, but these methods aren’t always followed, and even when they are, inferring the truth about nature and the universe is a difficult business.” In other words, scientists should be encouraged to follow the evidence no matter where it leads (even if it points a naughty finger at big business,) especially if it causes us to rethink our previously held beliefs. Science should be free from dogma and allow for open discourse. With all of this talk about what science should do, it begs the question, “Is science, more specifically nutritional science, like that today?” To answer that I want to preface with, I don’t want it to seem like I am coming down on all science because I am not. There is a lot of good science out there, but spoiler, there is also a lot of bad science that will confuse you. Taubes tackles this point head-on by saying: In most of science, skeptical appraisals of the evidence are considered a fundamental requirement to make progress. In nutrition and public health, however, they are seen by many as counterproductive, because they undermine efforts to promote behaviors that the authorities believe, rightly or wrongly, are good for us. But our health (and our weight) are at stake here, so let’s take a look at this evidence and see where it leads us. To be fair I can understand why, just think about how frustrated you would get if you article after article, each one contradicting the other. A few of my friends joke about it say, “So today barefoot running is bad, yesterday it was good. What will it be tomorrow?” This is a very valid point, however, we must keep in mind, that what works for me may not work for you. I can handle barefoot running since I have worked up to it, but if you do nothing but ware high heels and sit all day, I would not suggest going for a barefoot run or you will pull something. When you take up a significant change, to steal a phrase from Vinnie Tortorich, you need to ease into the change, then you need to go slower (or it was close to that.) Why do we need to slow down? Because change is hard; if you want to make it stick you need to do it slow and steady. I say all that to remind you why studies are important, but they are not the end all be all, because at best they are flawed by corporate backing, and at worst, they may not apply to you if they studied 80-year-old males when you are a 30-year-old female. This is why science should be skeptical because we cannot know all of the variables, This is why science should be a slow steady process that evolves as we learn more. If I hadn’t changed when my diet didn’t work I would not be writing this. Did I have to change my paradigm a bunch of times? Yes. Does that make me a hypocrite? No, because much like scientists should do, I adapted my hypothesis to fit the trends I was seeming in the data I was given. Will my hypothesis continue to evolve as my understanding and knowledge do? I sure as heck hope so! With that said, why does all of the science talk matter? It matters because the current hypothesis about obesity is flawed, it is not about these magical things we didn’t know about until relatively recently called calories, it is not about us having “too much money, too much food, too easily available, plus too many incentives to be sedentary—or too little need to be physically active—[to] have caused the obesity epidemic.” It is not that at all. Because as Tabues reminds us, “One piece of evidence that needs to be considered in this context, however, is the well-documented fact that being fat is associated with poverty, not prosperity—certainly in women, and often in men.” So if it is too much money or food that is too available. How can it be connected to poverty? To be fair, being overweight does not mean you are poor. But again in science, you seek to disprove yourself. To find out why outliers are there, which begs the question: “if the number of outliers becomes statistically significant enough to be included in the “normal” group, can they be outliers anymore? Or does your hypothesis need to change? To prove that amount of outlier there has been, Taubes put together a quick write up about each of these so-called outliers that were, in some cases, dirt poor or struck by famine. Yes, like I mentioned above these outliers would be obese in the face of years of famine. Not getting any more or less food than the emaciated person next to them. Here is the list of cases that documented the obesity triggered malnutrition: - 1870 Pima - 1951: Naples, Italy - 1954: The Pima Again - 1959: Charleston, South Carolina 1 - 1960: Durban, South Africa - 1961: Nauru, the South Pacific - 1961– 63: Trinidad, West Indies - 1963: Chile - 1964– 65: Johannesburg, South Africa - 1965: North Carolina - 1969: Ghana - 1970: Lagos, Nigeria - 1971: Rarotonga, the South Pacific - 1974: Kingston, Jamaica - 1974: Chile (again) - 1978: Oklahoma - 1981– 83: Starr County, Texas I do not want to belabor this point much more, so I will end the discussion on chapter 1 with this: obesity is about far more than just the amount of calories you get or the how sedentary you are. It is about what that food does in your body that matters. Getting exercise is important, but it alone will not make you the picture of health. - The Elusive Benefits of Exercise With that segway, let’s dive into chapter 3 “The Elusive Benefits of Exercise” I love the story that starts off this chapter. Instead of a long quote, I will simply summarize it. You are invited to a dinner where you want to have an appetite. Like this is the last supper before you start a diet and you want to end up in a food coma. What do you do? Well obviously you’d forgo breakfast and lunch, why fill up on subpar food. What else would you do? Maybe you would do a super long or intense workout, so can work up an appetite… does that sound familiar? It sounds oddly like the current dietary guidelines, that says we should eat less and move more. Is that paradoxical to anyone else? Maybe it’s just me. Or not, especially since that is the same idea Taubes ended his anecdote with. Why are we consistently working up an appetite just to starve ourselves later? Much like the lack of definitive proof linking excess calories and obesity, the science does not add up. This does not mean that there aren’t benefits to exercising because there are. Those benefits, however, do not seem to include sustained weight loss. This flies in the face of the current public policy, which is to get “Thirty minutes of moderately vigorous physical activity… five days a week.” The downside is, however, that the evidence is not as robust as one may think, in fact, these “experts could only say: ‘It is reasonable to assume that persons with relatively high daily energy expenditures would be less likely to gain weight over time, compared with those who have low energy expenditures. So far, data to support this hypothesis are not particularly compelling.’” I want to restate that last sentence again, “ So far, data to support this hypothesis are not particularly compelling.” Said another way: These scientists, were not willing to change their paradigm to fit with what the science points to, instead they dug their heels in and are not willing to compromise. Instead of me just telling you how biased these scientists are, let’s see where the “eat less, do more” line of reasoning would bring us if we followed it to its logical conclusion. To illustrate that we will be diving into one the cited studies where a group of researchers studied the effect of exercise on health. These scientists, Williams and Wood, were able to collect data on roughly 13,000 habitual runners during the case of the study they compared the weekly logged miles and their weight from year to year. “Those who ran the most tended to weigh the least, but all these runners tended to get fatter with each passing year, even those who ran more than forty miles a week—eight miles a day, say, five days a week.” For the group conducting the study, this seemed to suggest that: …even the most dedicated runners had to increase their distance by a few miles a week, year after year—expend even more energy as they got older—if they wanted to remain lean. If men added two miles to their weekly distance every year, and women three, according to Williams and Wood, then they might manage to remain lean, because this might mean expending in running the calories that they seemed fated otherwise to accumulate as fat. Before I continue quoting Taubes, I want to ask one thing. If we are fated to accumulate extra fat year after year, where were all of the overweight people throughout history? Obesity was not the epidemic it has become 50 years ago, and before that, it was even more uncommon. Just ponder that: why did it explode when it did? What would happen if we changed the way we eat to look more like our forebears? Digression over; now let’s look back at the study and see how much more we would need to run if we wanted to keep off the pounds as we age; if we followed the calories-in/calories-out model: Imagine a man in his twenties who runs twenty miles a week—say, four miles a day, five days a week. According to Williams and Wood (and the logic and mathematics of calories-in/calories-out), he will have to double that in his thirties (eight miles a day, five days a week) and triple it in his forties (twelve miles a day, five days a week) to keep fat from accumulating. A woman in her twenties who runs three miles a day, five times a week—an impressive but not excessive amount—would have to up her daily distance to fifteen miles in her forties to retain her youthful figure. If she does eight-minute miles, a nice pace for such a distance, she’d better be prepared to spend two hours on each of her running days to keep her weight in check. If we believe in calories-in/calories-out, and that in turn leads us to conclude that we have to run half-marathons five days a week (in our forties, and more in our fifties, and more in our sixties …) to maintain our weight, it may, once again, be time to question our underlying beliefs. Maybe it’s something other than the calories we consume and expend that determines whether we get fat. If gaining weight is more than just calories-in/calories-out, then how did we come up with that hypothesis in the first place? It all comes back to the idea we talked about when discussing chapter one, the quote I used was, “In most of science, skeptical appraisals of the evidence are considered a fundamental requirement to make progress. In nutrition and public health, however, they are seen by many as counterproductive…” To illustrate that point lets see just how these scientists interpret the data to get the outcome they want: As for the researchers themselves, they invariably found a way to write their articles and reviews that allowed them to continue to promote exercise and physical activity, regardless of what the evidence actually showed. One common method was (and still is) to discuss only the results that seem to support the belief that physical activity and energy expenditure can determine how fat we are, while simply ignoring the evidence that refutes the notion, even if the latter is in much more plentiful supply. Two experts in the Handbook of Obesity, for instance, reported as a reason to exercise that the Danish attempt to turn sedentary subjects into marathon runners had resulted in a loss of five pounds of body fat in male subjects; they neglected to mention, however, that it had zero influence on the women in the trial, which could be taken as a strong incentive not to exercise. I keep highlighting the abuse of the scientific method by nutritional scientist because we trust them for our dietary guidelines. If they fudge the numbers to fit their beliefs, then can we trust US guidelines they are influenced by these same people? - Thermodynamics for Dummies, Part 1 Before we talk about our next chapter, let’s learn what thermodynamics is. It is broken into 3 laws, but right now we only care about the first one. The first law is also known as, “the law of energy conservation: all it says is that energy is neither created nor destroyed but can only change from one form to another. Blow up a stick of dynamite, for instance, and the potential energy contained in the chemical bonds of the nitroglycerin is transformed into heat…” It is all about chemical reactions, it is not about a dietary balance, to continue with what taubes was saying, “All the first law says is that if something gets more or less massive, then more energy or less energy has to enter it than leave it. It says nothing about why this happens. It says nothing about cause and effect. It doesn’t tell us why anything happens; it only tells us what has to happen if that thing does happen. A logician would say that it contains no causal information.” Said another way, thermodynamic tell us that overeating causes us to become fat. If we get fatter than more energy enters our body then we use up. But when in that explanation tells us why we get fat. The problem is not how we got, but it is how do we get unfat. Since the law of thermodynamics does not address that, maybe we should come up with a theory that does explain it. Spoiler: we will be addressing the in the next part of the book review, but that is next week. Now let’s move on to the last chapter I will be talking about today. - Thermodynamics for Dummies, Part 2 In the first part, we learned about the thermodynamics, in this chapter we learn that the “eat less, move more” is neither the problem nor the cure for obesity. This is because it is an incorrect assumption. In actuality, the energy we consume and the energy we expend have little influence on one another. For example, if we limit our intake of calories over a long period of time, your body will start to burn less to compensate for the calorie deficit. So, it should be, if we eat less we will burn less. To see this in action let’s look and a study Taubes quotes, “Terry Maratos-Flier, published an article in Scientific American called ‘What Fuels Fat.’ In it, they described the intimate link between appetite and energy expenditure, making clear that they are not simply variables that an individual can consciously decide to change with the only effect being that his or her fat tissue will get smaller or larger to compensate.” Again and again, thermodynamics does not apply to humans. The law of thermodynamics was found to be true in a closed system. It is in a closed system that energy is neither created nor destroyed, it either changes form or it is transferred into another object. As this transfer happens thermal energy is released. This is why the calories-in/calories-out hypothesis does not work for humans since a closed system, we lose energy through heat, and restroom breaks. Which is why Gary Taubes and others like him have started think less about calories and more about the hormonal effects of the foods we eat. In part two we will learn about the hormonal signaling that causes us to utilize our fat stores for energy instead of consuming more food. Which means, we are able to eat less and burn more, irrespective of us moving more. That is how you lose weight, it isn’t caloric, it’s hormonal.
The Toddler Program at Montessori of Ladera Ranch is a specialized curriculum for children ages 24 to 36 months, serving as a preparatory program for transition into a Montessori preschool. Children are exposed to Practical Life activities and the beginnings of the Sensorial materials which are appropriate for the emergent two-year-old. Water work, puzzles, math activities, manipulatives, and language tasks round out the choices available during the daily work time. The concept of grace and courtesy is introduced and implemented during morning snack and lunchtime. Each month, the children explore a different Color of the Month, Book of the Month, and Song of the Month. The work activities, art projects, and circle time selections all reinforce the monthly curriculum. The ratio in the classroom is one-to-six; i.e., one teacher per six children, ensuring that children who have not yet had an academic experience will make a successful transition into a group care environment. Toilet training is also an important component of the Toddler Program and teachers work closely with parents to guarantee a painless progression to independent toileting.
Enter the value you want to convert below: A kilobyte (KB) is a unit of digital information storage. It is one of the standard units used to measure the amount of data. The term comes from the Greek "kilo", which means thousand, and "byte", a basic unit of digital information. However, in the world of digital storage, a kilobyte equals 1024 bytes, not 1000, due to the binary nature of most computer systems. Kilobytes are often used to indicate relatively small amounts of data. For example, a short Word document or a small image may contain several kilobytes of data. A megabyte (MB) is a unit that represents 1024 kilobytes. The word 'mega' means million, but in the context of digital information, a megabyte is defined as 1,048,576 bytes (or 1024^2 bytes) because of the binary nature of computers. Megabytes are used for a larger amount of data. For example, an average music track in MP3 format can contain about 5 megabytes of data. It's important to note that some areas, such as network and storage speeds, are often measured in megabits, not megabytes. There are 8 megabits (Mb) in a megabyte (MB). Converting megabytes to kilobytes and vice versa is quite simple thanks to the standardized relationship between the two. 1 MB = 1024 KB 1 KB = 0.0009765625 MB This relationship makes it easy to convert values between the two units, whether you're dealing with storage capacities, file sizes, or data transfer rates.

Tải bản đầy đủ - 0trang 7 Interferences from Bilirubin, Hemolysis, and High Lipid Content 2.8 Interferences from Endogenous and Exogenous Components Hemoglobin is mainly released by hemolysis of red blood cells (RBC). Hemolysis can occur in vivo, during venipuncture and blood collection, or during sample processing. Hemoglobin interference depends on its concentration in the sample. Serum appears hemolyzed when the hemoglobin concentration exceeds 20 mg/dL. The absorbance maxima of the heme moiety in hemoglobin are at 540 to 580 nm wavelengths. However, hemoglobin begins to absorb around 340 nm and then absorbance increases at 400À430 nm as well. Interference of hemoglobin (if the specimen is grossly hemolyzed) is due to interference with the optical detection system of All lipids in plasma exist as complexed with proteins that are called lipoproteins, and particle size varies from 10 nm to 1000 nm (the higher the percentage of the lipid, the lower the density of the resulting lipoprotein and the larger the particle size). The lipoprotein particles with high lipid content are micellar and are the main source of assay interference. Unlike bilirubin and hemoglobin, lipids normally do not participate in chemical reactions and mostly cause interference in assays due to their turbidity and capability of scattering light, as in nephelometric assays. 2.8 INTERFERENCES FROM ENDOGENOUS AND EXOGENOUS COMPONENTS Immunoassays are affected by a variety of endogenous and exogenous compounds, including heterophilic antibodies. The key points regarding immunoassay interferences include: Endogenous factors such as digoxin-like immunoreactive factors only affect digoxin immunoassays. Please see Chapter 15 for a more detailed Structurally similar molecules are capable of cross-reacting with the antibody to cause falsely elevated (positive interference) or falsely lowered results (negative interference). Negative interference occurs less frequently than positive interference, but may be clinically more dangerous. For example, if the result of a therapeutic drug is falsely elevated compared to the previous measurement, the clinician may question the result, but if the value is falsely lower, the clinician may simply increase the dose without realizing that the value was falsely lower due to interference. That can cause drug toxicity in the patient. Interference from drug metabolites is the most common form of interference, although other structurally similar drugs may also be the cause of interference. See also Chapter 15. I m m un o a ss a y P l a t f o r m an d D e s i g ns 2.9 INTERFERENCES OF HETEROPHILIC ANTIBODIES IN IMMUNOASSAYS Heterophilic antibodies are human antibodies that interact with assay antibody interferences. Features of heterophilic antibody interference in immunoassays Heterophilic antibodies may arise in a patient in response to exposure to certain animals or animal products or due to infection by bacterial or viral agents, or non-specifically. Among heterophilic antibodies, the most common are human antimouse antibodies (HAMA) because of wide use of murine monoclonal antibody products in therapy or imaging. However, other anti-animal antibodies in humans have also been described that can interfere with an If a patient is exposed to animals or animal products, or suffers from an autoimmune disease, the patient may have heterophilic antibodies in Heterophilic antibodies interfere most commonly with sandwich assays that are used for measuring large molecules, but rarely interfere with competitive assays. Most common interferences of heterophilic antibodies are observed with the measurement of various tumor markers. In the sandwich-type immunoassays, heterophilic antibodies can form the “sandwich complex” even in the absence of the target antigen; this generates mostly false positive results. False negative results due to the interference of heterophilic antibodies are rarely observed. Heterophilic antibodies are absent in urine. Therefore, if a serum specimen is positive for an analyte, for example, human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG), but beta-hCG cannot be detected in the urine specimen, it indicates interference from heterophilic antibodies in the serum hCG measurement. Another way to investigate heterophilic antibody interference is serial dilution of a specimen. If serial dilution produces a non-linear result, it indicates interference in the assay. Interference from heterophilic antibodies may also be blocked by adding any commercially available heterophilic antibody blocking agent in the specimen prior to analysis. For analytes that are also present in the protein-free ultrafiltrate (relatively small molecules), analysis of the analyte in the protein-free ultrafiltrate can eliminate interference from heterophilic antibodies because, due to large molecular weights, heterophilic antibodies are absent in protein-free ultrafiltrates. Heterophilic antibodies are more commonly found in sick and hospitalized patients with reported prevalences of 0.2%À15%. In addition, rheumatoid 2.10 Interferences from Autoantibodies and Macro-Analytes factors that are IgM type antibodies may be present in the serum of patients suffering from rheumatoid arthritis and certain autoimmune diseases. Rheumatoid factors may interfere with sandwich assays and the mechanism of interference is similar to the interference caused by heterophilic antibodies. Commercially available rheumatoid factor blocking agent may be used to eliminate such interferences. A 58-year-old man without any familial risk for prostate cancer visited his primary care physician and his prostate-specific antigen (PSA) level was 83 ng/mL (0À4 ng/mL is normal). He was referred to a urologist and his digital rectal examination was normal. In addition, a prostate biopsy, abdominal tomodensitometry, whole body scan, and prostatic MRI were performed, but no significant abnormality was observed. However, due to his very high PSA level (indicative of advance stage prostate cancer) he was treated with androgen deprivation therapy with goserelin acetate and bicalutamide. After 3 months he still had no symptoms, his prostate was atrophic on digital rectal examination, and he had suppressed testosterone levels as expected. However, his PSA level was still highly elevated (122 ng/mL) despite no radiographic evidence of advanced cancer. At that point his serum PSA was analyzed by a different assay (Immulite PSA, Cirrus Diagnostics, Los Angeles) and the PSA level was , 0.3 ng/mL. The treating physician therefore suspected a false positive PSA by the original Access Hybritech PSA assay (Hybritech, San Diego, CA), and interference of heterophilic antibodies was established by treating specimens with heterophilic antibody blocking agent. Re-analysis of the high PSA specimen showed a level below the detection limit. This patient received unnecessary therapy for his falsely elevated PSA level due to the interference of heterophilic antibody . A 64-year-old male during a routine visit to his physician was diagnosed with hypothyroidism based on elevated TSH (thyroid stimulating hormone) levels, and his clinician initiated therapy with levothyroxine (250 microgram per day). Despite therapy, there were still increased levels of TSH (33 mIU/L) and his FT4 level was also elevated. The endocrinologist at that point suspected that TSH levels measured by the Unicel Dxi analyzer (Beckman Coulter) were falsely elevated due to interference. Serial dilution of the specimen showed non- linearity, an indication of interference. When the specimen was analyzed using a different TSH assay (immunoradiometric assay (IRMA), also available from Beckman Coulter), the TSH value was 1.22 mIU/L, further confirming the interference with the initial TSH measurement. The patient had a high concentration of rheumatoid factor (2700 U/mL) and the authors speculated that his falsely elevated TSH was due to interference from rheumatoid factors . 2.10 INTERFERENCES FROM AUTOANTIBODIES Autoantibodies (immunoglobulin molecules) are formed by the immune system of an individual capable of recognizing an antigen on that person’s I m m un o a ss a y P l a t f o r m an d D e s i g ns own tissues. Several mechanisms may trigger the production of autoantibodies, for example, an antigen formed during fetal development and then sequestered may be released as a result of infection, chemical exposure, or trauma, as occurs in autoimmune thyroiditis. The autoantibody may bind to the analyte-label conjugate in a competition-type immunoassay to produce a false positive or false negative result. Circulating cardiac troponin I autoantibodies may be present in patients suffering from acute cardiac myocardial infarction where troponin I elevation is an indication of such an episode. Unfortunately, the presence of circulating cardiac troponin I autoantibodies may falsely lower cardiac troponin I concentration (negative interference) using commercial immunoassays, thus complicating the diagnosis of acute myocardial infarction . However, falsely elevated results due to the presence of autoantibodies are more common than false negative results. Verhoye et al. found three patients with false positive thyrotropin results that were caused by interference from an autoantibody against thyrotropin. The interfering substance in the affected specimens was identified as an autoantibody by gel-filtration chromatography and polyethylene glycol Often the analyte can conjugate with immunoglobin or other antibodies to generate macro-analytes, which can falsely elevate the true value of the analyte. For example, macroamylasemia and macro-prolactinemia can produce falsely elevated results in amylase and prolactin assays, respectively. In macro-prolactinemia, the hormone prolactin conjugates with itself and/or with its autoantibody to create macro-prolactin in the patient’s circulation. The macro-analyte is physiologically inactive, but often interferes with many prolactin immunoassays to generate false positive prolactin results . Such interference can be removed by polyethylene glycol precipitation. A 17-year-old girl was referred to a University hospital for having a persistent elevated level of aspartate aminotransferase (AST). One year earlier, her AST level was 88 U/L as detected during her annual school health check, but she had no medical complaints. She was not on any medication and had a regular menstrual cycle. Her physical examination at the University hospital was unremarkable. All laboratory test results were normal, but her AST level was further elevated to 152 U/L. All serological tests for hepatitis were negative. On further follow-up her AST level was found to have increased to 259 U/L. At that point it was speculated that her elevated AST was due to interference, and further study by gel-filtration showed a species with a molecular weight of 250 kilodaltons. This was further characterized by immunoelectrophoresis and immunoprecipitation to be an immunoglobulin (IgG kappa-lambda globulin) complexed AST that was causing the elevated AST level in this girl. These complexes are benign . 2.11 PROZONE (OR “HOOK”) EFFECT The Prozone or hook effect is observed when a very high amount of an analyte is present in the sample but the observed value is falsely lowered. This type of interference is observed more commonly in sandwich assays. The mechanism of this significant negative interference is the capability of a high level of an analyte (antigen) to reduce the concentrations of “sandwich” (antibody 1:antigen:antibody 2) complexes that are responsible for generating the signal by forming mostly single antibody:antigen complexes. The hook effect has been reported with assays of a variety of analytes, such as β-hCG, prolactin, calcitonin, aldosterone, cancer markers (CA 125, PSA), etc. The best way to eliminate the hook effect is serial dilution. For example, if the hook effect is present and the original value of an analyte (e.g. prolactin) was 120 ng/mL, then 1:1 dilution of the specimen should produce a value of 60 ng/mL; but if the observed value was 90 ng/mL (which was significantly higher than the expected value), the hook effect should be suspected. In order to eliminate the hook effect, a 1:10, 1:100, or even a 1:1000 dilution may be necessary so that the true analyte concentration will fall within the analytical measurement range (AMR) of the assay.. A 16-year-old girl presented to the emergency department with a 2-week history of nausea, vomiting, vaginal spotting, and lower leg edema. On physical examination, a lower abdomen palpable mass was found. The patient admitted sexual activity, but denied having any sexually transmitted disease. Molar pregnancy was suspected, and the quantitative β-subunit of human chorionic gonadotropin (β-hCG) concentration was 746.2 IU/L; however, the urine qualitative level was negative. Repeat of the urinalysis by a senior technologist also produced a negative result. At that point the authors suspected the hook effect and dilution of the serum specimen (1:1) produced a non-linear value (455.2 IU/L), which further confirmed the hook effect. After a 1:10 dilution, the urine test for β-hCG became positive, and finally, by using a 1:10,000 dilution of the specimen, the original serum β-hCG concentration was determined to be 3,835,000 IU/L. Usually the hook effect is observed with a molar β-hCG level in serum because high amounts of β-hCG are produced by molar pregnancy Immunoassays can be competitive or immunometric (non-competitive, also known as sandwich). In competitive immunoassays only one antibody is used. This format is common for assays of small molecules such as a therapeutic drugs or I m m un o a ss a y P l a t f o r m an d D e s i g ns drugs of abuse. In the sandwich format two antibodies are used and this format is more commonly used for assays of relative large molecules. Homogenous immunoassay format: After incubation, no separation between bound and free label is necessary. Heterogenous immunoassay format: The bound label must be separated from the free label before measuring the signal. Commercially available immunoassays use various formats, including FPIA, EMIT, CEDIA, KIMS, and LOCI. In the fluorescent polarization immunoassay (FPIA), the free label (a relatively small molecule) attached to the analyte (antigen) molecule has different Brownian motion than when the label is complexed to a large antibody (140,000 or more Daltons). FPIA is a homogenous competitive assay where after incubation the fluorescence polarization signal is measured; this signal is only produced if the labeled antigen is bound to the antibody molecule. Therefore, intensity of the signal is inversely proportional to the analyte EMIT (enzyme multiplied immunoassay technique) is a homogenous competitive immunoassay where the antigen is labeled with glucose 6-phosphate dehydrogenase, an enzyme that reduces nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD, no signal at 340 nm) to NADH (absorbs at 340 nm), and the absorbance is monitored at 340 nm. When a labeled antigen binds with the antibody molecule, the enzyme label becomes inactive and no signal is generated. Therefore, signal intensity is proportional to analyte concentration. The Cloned Enzyme Donor Immunoassay (CEDIA) method is based on recombinant DNA technology where bacterial enzyme beta-galactosidase is genetically engineered into two inactive fragments. When both fragments combine, a signal is produced that is proportional to the analyte concentration. Kinetic interaction of microparticle in solution (KIMS): In the absence of antigen molecules free antibodies bind to drug microparticle conjugates to form particle aggregates that result in an increase in absorption that is optically measured at various visible wavelengths (500À650 nm). Luminescent oxygen channeling immunoassays (LOCI): The immunoassay reaction is irradiated with light to generate singlet oxygen molecules in microbeads (“Sensibead”) coupled to the analyte. When bound to the respective antibody molecule, also coupled to another type of bead, it reacts with singlet oxygen and chemiluminescence signals are generated that are proportional to the concentration of the analyteÀantibody complex. Usually total bilirubin concentration below 20 mg/dL does not cause interferences, but concentrations over 20 mg/dL may cause problems. The interference of bilirubin is mainly caused by its absorbance at 454 or 461 nm. Various structurally related drugs or drug metabolites can interfere with Heterophilic antibodies may arise in a patient in response to exposure to certain animals or animal products, due to infection by bacterial or viral agents, or use of murine monoclonal antibody products in therapy or imaging. Heterophilic antibodies interfere most commonly with sandwich assays used for measuring large molecules, but rarely with competitive assays, causing mostly false positive Heterophilic antibodies are absent in urine. Therefore, if a serum specimen is positive for an analyte (e.g. human chorionic gonadotropin, hCG), but beta-hCG cannot be detected in the urine specimen, it indicates interference from a heterophilic antibody in the serum hCG measurement. Another way to investigate heterophilic antibody interference is serial dilution of a specimen. If serial dilution produces a non-linear result, it indicates interference in the assay. Interference from heterophilic antibodies can also be blocked by adding commercially available heterophilic antibody blocking agents to the specimen prior to analysis. Autoantibodies are formed by the immune system of a person that recognizes an antigen on that person’s own tissues, and may interfere with an immunoassay to produce false positive results (and less frequently, false negative results). Often the endogenous analyte of interest will conjugate with immunoglobin or other antibodies to generate macro-analytes, which can falsely elevate a result. For example, macroamylasemia and macro-prolactinemia can produce falsely elevated results in amylase and prolactin assays, respectively. Such interference can be removed by polyethylene glycol precipitation. Prozone (“hook”) effect: Very high levels of antigen can reduce the concentrations of “sandwich” (antibody 1:antigen:antibody 2) complexes responsible for generating the signal by forming mostly single antibody:antigen complexes. This effect, known as the prozone or hook effect (excess antigen), mostly causes negative interference (falsely lower results). The best way to eliminate the hook effect is serial dilution.

Factors that are important to obtaining accurate laboratory test results include: Patient Identification: The right patient is identified prior to specimen collection by matching at least two criteria. Collection Protocol: The correct technique and blood collection tube have been used for sample collection to avoid tissue damage, prolonged venous stasis, or hemolysis. Labeling: After collection, the specimen was labeled properly with correct patient information; specimen misidentification is a major source of preanalytical error. Specimen Handling: Proper centrifugation (in the case of serum or plasma specimen analysis) and proper transportation of specimens to the Storage Protocol: Maintaining proper storage of specimens prior to analysis in order to avoid artifactual changes in analyte; for example, storing blood gas specimens in ice if the analysis cannot be completed within 30 min of specimen collection. Interference Avoidance: Proper analytical steps to obtain the correct result and avoid interferences. LIS Reports: Correctly reporting the result to the laboratory information system (LIS) if the analyzer is not interfaced with the LIS. Clinician Reports: The report reaching the clinician must contain the right result, together with interpretative information, such as a reference range and other comments that aid clinicians in the decision-making process.

The analytical part of the analysis involves measurement of the concentration of the analyte corresponding to its “true” level (as compared to a “gold standard” measurement) within a clinically acceptable margin of error (the total acceptable analytical error, TAAE). Errors can occur at any stage of analysis (pre-analytical, analytical, and post-analytical). It has been estimated that pre-analytical errors account for more than two-thirds of all laboratory errors, while errors in the analytical and post-analytical phases account for only one-third of all laboratory errors. Carraro and Plebani reported that, among 51,746 clinical laboratory analyses performed in a three-month period in the author’s laboratory (7,615 laboratory orders, 17,514 blood collection tubes), clinicians contacted the laboratory regarding 393 questionable results out of which 160 results were confirmed to be due to laboratory errors. Of the 160 confirmed laboratory errors, 61.9% were determined to be pre-analytical errors, 15% were analytical errors, while 23.1% were post-analytical errors . Types of laboratory errors (pre-analytical, analytical, and post-analytical) are summarized in Table 3.1. In order to avoid pre-analytical errors, several approaches can be taken, The use of hand-held devices connected to the LIS that can objectively identify the patient by scanning a patient attached barcode, typically a
This webinar originally occurred on February 8, 2023 Duration: 1.5 hours Estimation of population affinity is a core component of the forensic anthropological biological profile. Most forensic anthropologists rely on craniometric1 and cranial macromorphoscopic2 methods in formulating this estimation. Dental morphology has traditionally been underutilized as a data source in forensic anthropology. There are few published studies employing dental morphological methods for population affinity,3,4 and more are in development. Methods currently published require that practitioners have significant experience scoring dental traits before they can be accurately applied. Most forensic anthropologists are familiar with shoveling of the central maxillary incisors and Carabelli’s trait of the maxillary first molars for their utility in population affinity estimations,5 though the reliance on these traits may be more based in tradition than in actual utility.6 However, because dental anthropology is not always part of the forensic anthropological education, fewer anthropologists are familiar or comfortable with less commonly known dental morphological traits, especially those of the molars. This presentation will focus on 11 dental morphological traits of the maxillary and mandibular molars that can be useful in estimating population affinity. These traits are metacone, hypocone, metaconule, parastyle, protostylid, anterior fovea, deflecting wrinkle, enamel extensions, and mandibular cusps 5, 6, and 7. Easy to apply trait descriptions, examples, and any known global or regional population frequencies from published literature will be presented so attendees may incorporate these into their casework. We will discuss applying currently available methods for estimating population affinity and talk about new methods to be available in the near future. After viewing the presentation practitioners will understand core concepts related to the application of dental morphology in the forensic estimation for population affinity. Practitioners also will be familiar with 11 dental morphological characteristics that are useful in estimating population affinity, but that are not commonly taught about in detail. Practitioners can then apply this knowledge in their casework using methods currently available. - Jantz R.L., & Ousley S.D. 2005. Fordisc 3.1 Personal computer forensic discriminant functions.

Thalassemia or also known as ‘Mediterranean anemia’ is a blood disorder caused by a decrease of hemoglobin in the body from the normal level. This happened because less synthesis hemoglobin chain in the blood. Hemoglobin is a substance in the red blood cells that responsible to carry the oxygen in the body. Lower level of hemoglobin and lack of red blood cells will cause anemia. Thalassemia patients will experience fatigue and lethargy. If the person suffers from minor thalassemia, he or she not requires therapy. But if they have major thalassemia, then they have to do blood transferring regularly. They also must ensure healthy lifestyle and balanced diet to increase their energy. THE TOLE ACUPUNCTURE - HERBAL MEDICAL CENTRE SDN BHD.

Pope St. Martin I. Martin I lay too sick to fight on a couch in front of the altar when the soldiers burst into the Lateran basilica. He had come to the church when he heard the soldiers had landed. But the thought of kidnapping a sick pope from the house of God didn't stop the soldiers from grabbing him and hustling him down to their ship. Elected pope in 649, Martin I had gotten in trouble for refusing to condone silence in the face of wrong. At that time there existed a popular heresy that held that Christ didn't have a human will, only a divine will. The emperor had issued an edict that didn't support Monothelism (as it was known) directly, but simply commanded that no one could discuss Jesus' will at all. Monothelism was condemned at a council convened by Martin I. The council affirmed, once again, that since Jesus had two natures, human and divine, he had two wills, human and divine. The council then went further and condemned Constans edict to avoid discussion stating, "The Lord commanded us to shun evil and do good, but not to reject the good with the evil." In his anger at this slap in the face, the emperor sent his soldiers to Rome to bring the pope to him. When Martin I arrived in Constantinople after a long voyage he was immediately put into prison. There he spent three months in a filthy, freezing cell while he suffered from dysentery. He was not allowed to wash and given the most disgusting food. After he was condemned for treason without being allowed to speak in his defense he was imprisoned for another three months. From there he was exiled to the Crimea where he suffered from the famine of the land as well as the roughness of the land and its people. But hardest to take was the fact that the pope found himself friendless. His letters tell how his own church had deserted him and his friends had forgotten him. They wouldn't even send him oil or corn to live off of. He died two years later in exile in the year 656, a martyr who stood up for the right of the Church to establish doctrine even in the face of imperial power.
Cervical cancer is the fourth most common cancer in women worldwide. At present, women are asked to attend cervical screening (also known as a 'smear' or 'Pap test') to detect the presence of high-risk HPV and/or abnormal or pre-cancerous cells. The uptake of cervical screening is low globally. The UK's Cervical Screening Programme has shown that screening can reduce mortality through early detection and treatment of pre-cancerous changes before cancer develops. However, there is variation between and within countries in the availability and uptake of screening. There are also differences based on ethnic groups, age, education and socioeconomic status and this needs to be borne in mind when developing interventions to increase uptake. The aim of the review The aim of this review was to look at the methods used to encourage women to undergo cervical screening. These included invitations, reminders, education, message framing, counselling, risk factor assessment, procedures and economic interventions. What are the main findings? Seventy trials were included in this review, of which 69 trials (257,899 women) were entered into a meta-analysis. Invitations, and to a lesser extent, educational materials probably increase the uptake of cervical screening (moderate-certainty evidence). HPV self-testing, as an alternative to Pap smears, may also increase screening coverage. However, self-testing was not covered in this review and will be considered in a subsequent review. Lay health workers used to promote screening to ethnic minority groups may increase screening uptake (low-certainty evidence). It was difficult to deduce any meaningful conclusions for other less widely reported interventions such as counselling, risk factor assessment, access to health promotion nurse, photo comic book, intensive recruitment and message framing, due to sparse data and low-certainty evidence. However, having access to a health promotion nurse and attempts at intensive recruitment may increase uptake. Certainty of the evidence The majority of the evidence was of a low to moderate certainty (quality) and further research may change these findings. For the majority of trials, the risk of bias was unclear, making it difficult to make firm assertions from their results. What are the conclusions? Invitation letters probably increase the uptake of cervical screening, and use of lay health worker involvement amongst ethnic minority populations may do so. Educational interventions may also increase screening; however, it is unclear what format is the most effective. These findings apply to developed countries and their relevance to low- and middle-income countries is unclear. There is moderate-certainty evidence to support the use of invitation letters to increase the uptake of cervical screening. Low-certainty evidence showed lay health worker involvement amongst ethnic minority populations may increase screening coverage, and there was also support for educational interventions, but it is unclear what format is most effective. The majority of the studies were from developed countries and so the relevance of low- and middle-income countries (LMICs), is unclear. Overall, the low-certainty evidence that was identified makes it difficult to infer as to which interventions were best, with exception of invitational interventions, where there appeared to be more reliable evidence. This is an update of the Cochrane review published in Issue 5, 2011. Worldwide, cervical cancer is the fourth commonest cancer affecting women. High-risk human papillomavirus (HPV) infection is causative in 99.7% of cases. Other risk factors include smoking, multiple sexual partners, the presence of other sexually transmitted diseases and immunosuppression. Primary prevention strategies for cervical cancer focus on reducing HPV infection via vaccination and data suggest that this has the potential to prevent nearly 90% of cases in those vaccinated prior to HPV exposure. However, not all countries can afford vaccination programmes and, worryingly, uptake in many countries has been extremely poor. Secondary prevention, through screening programmes, will remain critical to reducing cervical cancer, especially in unvaccinated women or those vaccinated later in adolescence. This includes screening for the detection of pre-cancerous cells, as well as high-risk HPV. In the UK, since the introduction of the Cervical Screening Programme in 1988, the associated mortality rate from cervical cancer has fallen. However, worldwide, there is great variation between countries in both coverage and uptake of screening. In some countries, national screening programmes are available whereas in others, screening is provided on an opportunistic basis. Additionally, there are differences within countries in uptake dependent on ethnic origin, age, education and socioeconomic status. Thus, understanding and incorporating these factors in screening programmes can increase the uptake of screening. This, together with vaccination, can lead to cervical cancer becoming a rare disease. To assess the effectiveness of interventions aimed at women, to increase the uptake, including informed uptake, of cervical screening. We searched the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials (CENTRAL), Issue 6, 2020. MEDLINE, Embase and LILACS databases up to June 2020. We also searched registers of clinical trials, abstracts of scientific meetings, reference lists of included studies and contacted experts in the field. Randomised controlled trials (RCTs) of interventions to increase uptake/informed uptake of cervical screening. Two review authors independently extracted data and assessed risk of bias. Where possible, the data were synthesised in a meta-analysis using standard Cochrane methodology. Comprehensive literature searches identified 2597 records; of these, 70 met our inclusion criteria, of which 69 trials (257,899 participants) were entered into a meta-analysis. The studies assessed the effectiveness of invitational and educational interventions, lay health worker involvement, counselling and risk factor assessment. Clinical and statistical heterogeneity between trials limited statistical pooling of data. Overall, there was moderate-certainty evidence to suggest that invitations appear to be an effective method of increasing uptake compared to control (risk ratio (RR) 1.71, 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.49 to 1.96; 141,391 participants; 24 studies). Additional analyses, ranging from low to moderate-certainty evidence, suggested that invitations that were personalised, i.e. personal invitation, GP invitation letter or letter with a fixed appointment, appeared to be more successful. More specifically, there was very low-certainty evidence to support the use of GP invitation letters as compared to other authority sources' invitation letters within two RCTs, one RCT assessing 86 participants (RR 1.69 95% CI 0.75 to 3.82) and another, showing a modest benefit, included over 4000 participants (RR 1.13, 95 % CI 1.05 to 1.21). Low-certainty evidence favoured personalised invitations (telephone call, face-to-face or targeted letters) as compared to standard invitation letters (RR 1.32, 95 % CI 1.11 to 1.21; 27,663 participants; 5 studies). There was moderate-certainty evidence to support a letter with a fixed appointment to attend, as compared to a letter with an open invitation to make an appointment (RR 1.61, 95 % CI 1.48 to 1.75; 5742 participants; 5 studies). Low-certainty evidence supported the use of educational materials (RR 1.35, 95% CI 1.18 to 1.54; 63,415 participants; 13 studies) and lay health worker involvement (RR 2.30, 95% CI 1.44 to 3.65; 4330 participants; 11 studies). Other less widely reported interventions included counselling, risk factor assessment, access to a health promotion nurse, photo comic book, intensive recruitment and message framing. It was difficult to deduce any meaningful conclusions from these interventions due to sparse data and low-certainty evidence. However, having access to a health promotion nurse and attempts at intensive recruitment may have increased uptake. One trial reported an economic outcome and randomised 3124 participants within a national screening programme to either receive the standard screening invitation, which would incur a fee, or an invitation offering screening free of charge. No difference in the uptake at 90 days was found (574/1562 intervention versus 612/1562 control, (RR 0.94, 95% CI: 0.86 to 1.03). The use of HPV self-testing as an alternative to conventional screening may also be effective at increasing uptake and this will be covered in a subsequent review. Secondary outcomes, including cost data, were incompletely documented. The majority of cluster-RCTs did not account for clustering or adequately report the number of clusters in the trial in order to estimate the design effect, so we did not selectively adjust the trials. It is unlikely that reporting of these trials would impact the overall conclusions and robustness of the results. Of the meta-analyses that could be performed, there was considerable statistical heterogeneity, and this should be borne in mind when interpreting these findings. Given this and the low to moderate evidence, further research may change these findings. The risk of bias in the majority of trials was unclear, and a number of trials suffered from methodological problems and inadequate reporting. We downgraded the certainty of evidence because of an unclear or high risk of bias with regards to allocation concealment, blinding, incomplete outcome data and other biases.
Peter Harper – Low Carbon Living Peter Harper is the Director of Research and Innovation at the Center for Alternative Technology (UK). Peter was the originator of the term “alternative technology” and has been a prominent theorist of the movement since the early ’70s. He is also a biologist, horticulturalist and landscape designer. In this presentation he discusses the data and projections from his “LifeStyle Lab” project. He premises the need for a zero carbon society and possible solutions that might lead us there. He outlines the pros and cons of lifestyle-driven changes and technology-enabled reduction; do we have the time, as consumers, to choose which strategy we want to take? Peter elaborates on the challenges of creating a low carbon society and in particular discusses potential different lifestyles. He illustrates these using two fictitious families he names the “WOTs” (Well-Off Techie greenie household) and the “LILs” (Low-Income Lifestyle greenie household). Watch or listen to find out whether technology-driven lifestyles or do-it-yourself approaches deliver the more promising carbon gains.
Sunday, June 13, 2010 This is one of those arthropods that can be considered a misfit. They aren't an insect and they aren't quite a spider either, although they are related to spiders. Daddy Longlegs are one of those creepy crawlies that children identify with and love to hold. They are harmless, even though rumors persist that these spiders are highly venomous and if they could bite us they would be deadly. This simply is not true. They do not possess venom; they instead feed on animal and plant matter. Another creature often called daddy-longlegs are actually spiders. These long-legged spiders are in the family Pholcidae. Previously the common name of this family was the cellar spiders but arachnologists have also given them the moniker of "daddy-longlegs spiders" because of the confusion generated by the general public. Because these arachnids are spiders, they have 2 body basic body parts (cephalothorax and abdomen), have 8 eyes most often clumped together in the front of the body, the abdomen shows no evidence of segmentation, have 8 legs all attached to the front most body part (the cephalothorax) and make webs out of silk. This is most probably the animal to which people refer when they tell the tale because these spiders are plentiful especially in cellars (hence their common name) and are commonly seen by the general public. The most common pholcid spiders found in U.S. homes are both European immigrants. There is no proven documentation that even these spiders bite humans. So this myth is definitely NOT true for the Daddy longlegs in the order Opilionides.....and it probably highly UNLIKELY for the Pholcids as well. Unlike spiders which have two body parts, a cehalothorax and an abdomen, daddy longlegs have one compact body. These spider-like creatures belong to the family Phalangiidae within the order Opiliones. with up to 150 species north of Mexico in North America. They are powerfully difficult to ID to species. They are sometimes called harvestmen, harvest spiders, shepherd spiders, phalangids, and opilionids. Most spiders have 6 to 8 eyes, daddy longlegs have 2 eyes. They do not build webs and will only be found in a web if they happen to fall into one. Then at that time they are sure to be dinner for a much more aggressive spider. These oddballs of the insect realm are fond of moist areas and will often be found around rotting logs, under rocks or near damp basements and cellars. Rest assured it is safe for your children and your grand-children to play with these little spiders (or in some cases not so little). They are no more harmful than lightning bugs or ladybugs.

आज भी प्रासंगिक हैं गांधी के वैश्विक विचार - प्रवाकता.कॉम | प्रवक्ता.कॉम आज भी प्रासंगिक हैं गांधी के वैश्विक विचार गांधी के आदर्श विचार उनके निजी जीवन तक ही सीमित नहीं रहे। उन्होंने अपने आदर्श विचारों को आजादी की लड़ाई से लेकर समाज निर्माण जैसे जीवन के विविध पक्षों में भी आजमाया। उस समय लोग कहा करते थे कि आजादी के लक्ष्य में सत्य और अहिंसा नहीं चलेगी और न ही इससे सभ्य समाज का निर्माण होगा। लेकिन गांधी ने दिखा दिया कि सत्य और अहिंसा के रास्ते पर चलकर भी आजादी और समाज निर्माण के लक्ष्य को हासिल किया जा सकता है। आजादी के आंदोलन के दौरान गंाधी ने लोगों को संघर्ष के तीन मंत्र दिए-सत्याग्रह, असहयोग और बलिदान। उन्होंने खुद इसे समय की कसौटी पर कसा भी। सत्याग्रह को सत्य के प्रति आग्रह बताया। यानी आदमी को जो सत्य दिखे उस पर पूरी शक्ति और निष्ठा से डटा रहे। बुराई, अन्याय और अत्याचार का किन्हीं भी परिस्थितियों में समर्थन न करे। सत्य और न्याय के लिए प्राणोत्सर्ग करने को बलिदान कहा। अहिंसा के बारे में उनके विचार सनातन भारतीय संस्कृति की प्रतिध्वनि है। गांधी पर गीता के उपदेशों का व्यापक असर रहा। वे कहते थे कि हिंसा और कायरता पूर्ण लड़ाई में मैं कायरता की बजाए हिंसा को पसंद करुंगा। मैं किसी कायर को अहिंसा का पाठ नहीं पढ़ा सकता वैसे ही जैसे किसी अंधे को लुभावने दृश्यों की ओर प्रलोभित नहीं किया जा सकता। उन्होंने अहिंसा को शौर्य का शिखर माना। उन्होंने अहिंसा की स्पष्ट व्याख्या करते हुए कहा कि अहिंसा का अर्थ है ज्ञानपूर्वक कष्ट सहना। उसका अर्थ अन्यायी की इच्छा के आगे दबकर घुटने टेक देना नहीं। उसका अर्थ यह है कि अत्याचारी की इच्छा के विरुद्ध अपनी आत्मा की सारी शक्ति लगा देना। अहिंसा के माध्यम से गांधी ने विश्व को यह भी संदेश दिया कि जीवन के इस नियम के अनुसार चलकर एक अकेला आदमी भी अपने सम्मान, धर्म और आत्मा की रक्षा के लिए साम्राज्य के सम्पूर्ण बल को चुनौती दे सकता है। गांधी के इन विचारों से विश्व की महान विभुतियों ने स्वयं को प्रभावित बताया। आज भी उनके विचार विश्व को उत्प्रेरित कर रहे हैं। लोगों द्वारा उनके अहिंसा और सविनय अवज्ञा जैसे अहिंसात्मक हथियारों को आजमाया जा रहा है। ऐसे समय में जब पूरे विश्व में हिंसा का बोलबाला है, राष्ट्र आपस में उलझ रहे हैं, मानवता खतरे में है, गरीबी, भूखमरी और कुपोषण लोगों को लील रही है तो गांधी के विचार बरबस प्रासंगिक हो जाते हैं। अब विश्व महसूस भी करने लगा है कि गांधी के बताए रास्ते पर चलकर ही विश्व को नैराश्य, द्वेष और प्रतिहिंसा से बचाया जा सकता है। गांधी के विचार विश्व के लिए इसलिए भी प्रासंगिक हैं कि उन विचारों को उन्होंने स्वयं अपने आचरण में ढालकर सिद्ध किया। उन विचारों को सत्य और अहिंसा की कसौटी पर जांचा-परखा। १९२० का असहयोग आंदोलन जब जोरों पर था उस दौरान चैरी-चैरा में भीड़ ने आक्रोश में एक थाने को अग्नि की भेंट चढ़ा दी। इस हिंसक घटना में २२ सिपाही जीवित जल गए। गांधी जी द्रवित हो उठे। उन्होंने तत्काल आंदोलन को स्थगित कर दिया। उनकी खूब आलोचना हुई लेकिन वे अपने इरादे से टस से मस नहीं हुए। वे हिंसा को एक क्षण के लिए भी बर्दाश्त करने को तैयार नहीं थे। उनकी दृढ़ता कमाल की थी। जब उन्होंने महसूस किया कि ब्रिटिश सरकार अपने वादे के मुताबिक भारत को आजादी देने में हीलाहवाली कर रही है तो उन्होंने भारतीयों को टैक्स देने के बजाए जेल जाने का आह्नान किया। विदेशी वस्तुओं के बहिष्कार का आंदोलन चलाया। ब्रिटिश सरकार द्वारा नमक पर टैक्स लगाए जाने के विरोध में दांडी यात्रा की और समुद्र तट पर नमक बनाया। उनकी दृढ़ता को देखते हुए उनके निधन पर अर्नोल्ड टोनी बी ने अपने लेख में उन्हें पैगंबर कहा। प्रसिद्ध वैज्ञानिक आइंस्टीन का यह कथन लोगों के जुबान पर है कि आने वाले समय में लोगों को सहज विश्वास नहीं होगा कि हांड़-मांस का एक ऐसा जीव था जिसने अहिंसा को अपना हथियार बनाया। हिंसा भरे वैश्विक माहौल में गांधी के विचारों की ग्राहयता बढ़ती जा रही है। जिन अंग्रेजों ने विश्व के चतुर्दिक हिस्सों में युनियन जैक को लहराया और भारत में गांधी की अहिंसा को चुनौती दी, आज वे भी गांधी के अहिंसात्मक आचरण को अपनाने की बात कर रहे हैं। विश्व का पुलिसमैन कहा जाने वाला अमेरिका जो अपनी धौंस-पट्टी से विश्व समुदाय को उपदेश देता है अब उसे भी लगने लगा है कि गांधी की विचारधारा की राह पकड़कर ही विश्व में शांति स्थापित की जा सकती है। सच तो यह है कि गांधी के शाश्वत मूल्यों की प्रासंगिकता बढ़ी है। गांधी अहिंसा के न केवल प्रतीक भर हैं बल्कि मापदण्ड भी हैं जिन्हें जीवन में उतारने की कोशिश हो रही है। अभी गत वर्ष पहले ही अमेरिका पूर्व राष्ट्रपति बराक ओबामा ने ह्वाइट हाउस में अफ्रीकी महाद्वीप के ५० देशों के युवा नेताओं को संबोधित करते हुए कहा था कि आज के बदलते परिवेश में युवाओं को गांधी जी से प्रेरणा लेने की जरुरत है। गत वर्ष पहले अमेरिका की प्रतिष्ठित टाइम पत्रिका ने महात्मा गांधी की अगुवाई वाले नमक सत्याग्रह को दुनिया के सर्वाधिक दस प्रभावशाली आंदोलनों में शुमार किया। याद होगा अभी कुछ साल पहले जाम्बिया के लोकसभा सचिवालय द्वारा विज्ञान भवन में संसदीय लोकतंत्र पर एक सेमिनार आयोजित किया गया जिसमें राष्ट्रमंडल देशों के लोकसभा अध्यक्षों और पीठासीन अधिकारियों ने शिरकत की। जाम्बिया की नेशनल असेम्बली के अध्यक्ष असुमा के. म्वानामवाम्बवा ने इस सम्मेलन के दौरान गांधी के सिद्धान्तों की मुक्त कंठ से प्रशंसा की और कहा कि भारत के साथ हम भी महात्मा गांधी की विरासत में साझेदार हैं। उन्होनें बताया कि अहिंसा के बारे में गांधी जी की शिक्षाओं ने जाम्बिया के स्वतंत्रता आन्दोलन को बेहद प्रभवित किया। सच तो यह है कि अब गांधी के वैचारिक विरोधियों को भी लगने लगा है कि गांधी के बारे में उनकी अवधारणा संकुचित थी। उन्हें विश्वास होने लगा है कि गांधी के नैतिक नियम पहले से कहीं और अधिक प्रासंगिक और प्रभावी हैं और उनका अनुपालन होना चाहिए। गांधी जी राजनीतिक आजादी के साथ सामाजिक-आर्थिक आजादी के लिए भी चिंतित थे। समावेशी समाज की संरचना को कैसे मजबूत आधार दिया जाए उसके लिए उनका अपना स्वतंत्र चिंतन था। उन्होंने कहा कि जब तक समाज में विषमता रहेगी, हिंसा भी रहेगी। हिंसा को खत्म करने के लिए विषमता मिटाना जरुरी है। विषमता के कारण समृद्ध अपनी समृद्धि और गरीब अपनी गरीबी में मारा जाएगा। इसलिए ऐसा स्वराज हासिल करना होगा, जिसमें अमीर-गरीब के बीच खाई न हो। शिक्षा के संबंध में भी उनके विचार स्पष्ट थे। उन्होंने कहा है कि मैं पाश्चात्य संस्कृति का विरोधी नहीं हूं। मैं अपने घर के खिड़की दरवाजों को खुला रखना चाहता हूं जिससे बाहर की स्वच्छ हवा आ सके। लेकिन विदेशी भाषाओं की ऐसी आंधी न आ जाए कि मैं औंधें मुंह गिर पड़ूं। गांधी जी नारी सशक्तीकरण के प्रबल पैरोकार थे। उन्होंने कहा कि जिस देश अथवा समाज में स्त्री का आदर नहीं होता उसे सुसंस्कृत नहीं कहा जा सकता। आज के दौर में भारत ही नहीं बल्कि विश्व समुदाय को भी समझना होगा कि उनके सुझाए रास्ते पर चलकर ही एक समृद्ध, सामथ्र्यवान, समतामूलक और सुसंस्कृत विश्व का निर्माण किया जा सकता है। आधुनिक भारतीय चिंतन प्रवाह में गांधी के विचार सार्वकालिक हैं। सच तो यह है कि गांधी भारतीय उदात्त सामाजिक-सांस्कृतिक विरासत के अग्रदूत के साथ-साथ सहिष्णुता, उदारता और तेजस्विता के प्रमाणिक तथ्य हैं। सत्यशोधक संत भी हैं तो शाश्वत सत्य के यथार्थ समाज वैज्ञानिक भी। राजनीति, साहित्य, संस्कृति, धर्म, दर्शन, विज्ञान और कला के अद्भूत मनीषी भी तो मानववादी विश्व निर्माण के आदर्श मापदण्ड भी। सम्यक प्रगति मार्ग के चिंह्न भी तो भारतीय संस्कृति के परम उद्घोषक भी। गांधी के लिए वेद, पुराण एवं उपनिषद का सारतत्व ही उनका ईश्वर है और बुद्ध, महावीर की करुणा ही उनकी अहिंसा है। सत्य, अहिंसा, ब्रहमचर्य, अस्तेय, अपरिग्रह, शरीर श्रम, आस्वाद, अभय, सर्वधर्म समानता, स्वदेशी और समावेशी समाज निर्माण की परिकल्पना ही उनके जीवन का परम लक्ष्य है। प्रेवियस भारत की मिट्टी की विशिष्टता और बंदा बैरागी नेक्स्ट प्रदेश की मेधाशक्ति के हित में आदेश, जिस पर राजनीति होना तय है

कम से कम कर्मचारियों के अनुबंध कार्यकाल का वरिष्ठता लाभ तो दिलाएं जयराम: राणा - राजेन्द्र राना कम से कम कर्मचारियों के अनुबंध कार्यकाल का वरिष्ठता लाभ तो दिलाएं जयराम: राणा सुजानपुर: भाजपा के चुनावी दृष्टि पत्र पर अमल न करने व कर्मचारियों को अनुबंध कार्यकाल के वरिष्ठता लाभ से वंचित रखने को लेकर सुजानपुर के विधायक राजेंद्र राणा ने जयराम सरकार पर हमला बोला है। उन्होंने कहा कि कर्मचारी हितैषी होने का ढिंढोरा पीटने वाली जयराम सरकार ने कदम कदम पर कर्मचारियों के साथ छल किया है और वायदे न निभाकर कर्मचारियों की भावनाओं को ठेस पहुंचाई है। आज यहां जारी एक बयान में राजेंद्र राणा ने कहा कि प्रदेश सरकार ने अपने वायदे के विपरीत कर्मचारियों को अनुबंध कार्यकाल की वरिष्ठता लाभ से भी वंचित रखा है, जबकि कमीशन के माध्यम से भर्ती एवं पदोन्नति नियमों के अनुसार ही भर्तियां की जाती हैं। राजेंद्र राणा ने याद दिलाया कि वर्ष २००७ में भाजपा की तत्कालीन धूमल सरकार ने प्रदेश में ८ साल के अनुबंध कार्यकाल के आधार पर भर्ती करने का निर्णय लिया था तथा वर्ष २००९ में अधिसूचना जारी होते ही अनुबंध आधार पर पहली भर्ती की गई। वर्ष २०१२ में सत्ता से जाते-जाते उन्होंने अनुबंध का कार्यकाल ६ साल करने की घोषणा की थी। उसके बाद कांग्रेस की वीरभद्र सिंह ने सत्ता में आने के बाद वर्ष २०१४ में कर्मचारियों का अनुबंध कार्यकाल ५ साल तथा वर्ष 201६ में इसे घटाकर ३ साल कर दिया था। उन्होंने आरोप लगाया कि भाजपा ने अपने शासनकाल में कर्मचारियों को छलने व बरगलाने का ही काम किया है। राणा ने कहा कि भाजपा की प्रदेश सरकारों के साथ केंद्र में रहते हुए भी भाजपा नीत एन.डी.ए. सरकारों ने कर्मचारियों के हितों पर कुठाराघात किया है जिसकी शुरूआत वर्ष २००३ में केंद्र की तत्कालीन एन.डी.ए. सरकार ने कर्मचारियों को धोखा देते हुए पैंशन बंद कर काले अध्याय लिखा था। उसके बाद अनुबंध पर नौकरियां देने का फैसला भाजपा सरकार ने ही लिया और अब जयराम सरकार ने ट्रिब्यूनल को बंद कर कर्मचारी विरोधी होने का परिचय दिया है। उन्होंने कहा कि भाजपा ने विधानसभा चुनाव के दौरान अपने दृष्टि पत्र में कर्मचारियों से अनेकों वायदे किए थे जिनमें पैंशन को लेकर भी एक कमेटी गठित करने की बात कही थी। लेकिन सत्ता के नशे में मदहोश जयराम सरकार अब तक कमेटी गठित करने सहित किसी भी वायदे पर दृष्टि डालने में भी फेल साबित हुई है। उन्होंने मुख्यमंत्री से मांग करते हुए कहा कि चुनावी दृष्टि पत्र तो सरकार की नजर-ए-इनायत कब होगी और कर्मचारियों से किए वायदों को लेकर कब नींद से जागेगी, यह तो सरकार व मुख्यमंत्री ही जानें। लेकिन अनुबंध कार्यकाल का वरिष्ठता लाभ कर्मचारियों का जायज हक है जिसका लाभ देकर भाजपा की पूर्व केंद्र व प्रदेश सरकारों द्वारा लिए कर्मचारी विरोधी फैसलों के दाग भाजपा के ऊपर से थोड़े बहुत जरूर धुल जाएंगे। उन्होंने कहा कि ४-९-1४ के बारे में भी भाजपा सरकार का कर्मचारियों से किया गया वायदा महज एक छलावा साबित हुआ है। कर्मचारी वर्ग खुद को ठगा हुआ महसूस कर रहा है। उन्होंने कहा कि भाजपा सरकार ने अपने दृष्टि पत्र में कर्मचारियों से वायदा किया था कि सत्ता में आने पर कर्मचारियों को ४-९-1४ का लाभ दिया जाएगा। लेकिन अब सरकार के २ साल पूरे होने को है लेकिन कर्मचारी अभी तक सरकार की तरफ टकटकी लगाए बैठे हैं। उन्होंने कहा कि प्रदेश सरकार कर्मचारियों को वेतन आयोग के लाभों से भी वंचित रख रही है। मनाली-रोहतांग मार्ग दलदल में तब्दील, प्रशासन ने रात को सफर न करने की हिदायत दी

इन्दौर लोकसभा सीट : सुमित्रा 'ताई' की सीट पर बड़े अंतर से जीते भाजपा के शंकर लालवानी - अजय भारत होम टॉप स्टोरी इन्दौर लोकसभा सीट : सुमित्रा ताई की सीट पर बड़े अंतर से... इन्दौर । मध्य प्रदेश की आर्थिक रूप से सबसे समृद्ध समझी जाने वाली लोकसभा सीट इन्दौर से भाजपा के शंकर लालवानी ने रिकार्ड जीत दर्ज की है। उन्होंने इन्दौर से ८ बार सांसद रहीं सुमित्रा महाजन को २०१४ में मिली ४६६९०१ मतों की जीत के रिकार्ड को तोड़ते हुए अपने निकटतम प्रतिद्वंदी कांग्रेस के पंकज संघवी को ५४७७५४ मतों से हराया है। भाजपा प्रत्याशी लालवानी को कुल 106८569 मत मिले, जबकि कांग्रेस प्रत्याशी पंकज संघवी को 520८15 मत मिले। कलेक्टर एवं जिला निर्वाचन अधिकारी लोकेश कुमार जाटव ने विजयी प्रत्याशी शंकर लालवानी को सांसद निर्वाचित होने का प्रमाण पत्र दिया। इस मौके पर सुमित्रा महाजन व विधायक रमेश मैंदोला भी मौजूद थे। उल्लेखनीय है कि इन्दौर से ८ बार सांसद रहीं सुमित्रा महाजन को इस भाजपा ने टिकट नहीं दिया था। उनकी जगह ललवानी को पार्टी ने मैदान में उतारा था। हालांकि सुमित्रा महाजन इस सीट पर फिर से चुनाव लड़ने की इच्छुक थीं, लेकिन पार्टी की ओर से उम्मीदवार के नाम के ऐलान में देरी होते देख उन्होंने खुद ही यह ऐलान कर दिया था कि वह इस बार लोकसभा चुनाव नहीं लड़ेंगी। इस सीट पर पिछले मुकाबलों की बात करें तो लगातार ८ बार बीजेपी की तरफ से सुमित्रा महाजन कुर्सी पर काबिज रहीं। वहीं, कांग्रेस आखिरी बार 19८4 में यहां से लोकसभा का चुनाव जीती थी। २०१४ के चुनाव में भाजपा की सुमित्रा महाजन को ८54972, कांग्रेस के सत्यनारायण पटेल को 3८८071 व आम आदमी पार्टी के अनिल त्रिवेदी को ३५१२४ मत मिले थे। इस बार २०१९ के लोकसभा चुनाव में इन्दौर सीट पर २० प्रत्याशी चुनावी मैदान होकर मुख्य मुकाबला कांग्रेस के पंकज संघवी और भाजपा के शंकर लालवानी के मध्य था और लालवानी ने यह मुकाबला ५४७७५४ मतों के रिकार्ड अंतर से जीत लिया है। यह भी उल्लेखनीय है कि भाजपा प्रत्याशी शंकर लालवानी ने पहली बार लोकसभा चुनाव लड़ते हुए बड़ी जीत दर्ज की है। लालवानी ने १९९३ में पहली बार विधानसभा क्षेत्र-४ से भाजपा अध्यक्ष का कार्यभार संभाला था। इसके बाद १९९६ में नगर निगम चुनाव में वे अपने भाई और कांग्रेस प्रत्याशी प्रकाश लालवानी को हराकर पार्षद बने। वे नगर निगम सभापति भी रहे। इसके बाद वे नगर अध्यक्ष रहे। वे इंदौर विकास प्राधिकरण के अध्यक्ष भी रहे। १९९८ में भाजपा की सुमित्रा महाजन से लोकसभा चुनाव हार चुके पकंज संघवी पर कांग्रेस ने एक बार फिर से भरोसा जताया, लेकिन उन्हें दूसरी बार भी हार का मुंह देखना पड़ा। संघवी १९८३ में पहली बार पार्षद का चुनाव जीते। इसके बाद १९९८ में पार्टी ने लोकसभा चुनाव का टिकट दिया, लेकिन सुमित्रा महाजन ने उन्हें ४९ हजार ८५२ वोट से चुनाव हार दिया। इसके बाद २००९ में महापौर का चुनाव लड़े और भाजपा के कृष्णमुरारी मोघे से करीब ४ हजार वोट से हार गए। २०१३ में वे इंदौर विधानसभा पांच नंबर सीट से करीब १२ हजार ५०० वोट से विधानसभा चुनाव हारे। :: इंदौर को ३० साल बाद पुरुष सांसद मिला :: इन्दौर लोकसभा सीट से १९५२ में कांग्रेस के नन्दलाल जोशी, १९५७ में कांग्रेस के कन्हैयालाल खेड़ीवाला, १९६२ में सीपीआई के होमी दाजी, १९६७ में कांग्रेस के प्रकाशचंद्र सेठी, १९७१ में कांग्रेस के रामसिंह भाई, १९७७ में भारतीय लोकदल के कल्याण जैन, १९८० और १९८४ में कांग्रेस के प्रकाशचन्द्र सेठी ने दो बार जीत हासिल की। इसके बाद सुमित्रा महाजन ने १९८९ के आम चुनाव में पहली बार लोकसभा चुनाव में भाग लिया और उन्होंने कांग्रेस नेता और मध्य प्रदेश के पूर्व मुख्यमंत्री प्रकाश चंद्र सेठी को हराया। फिर भाजपा के टिकट पर सुमित्रा ताई ने १९९१, १९९६, १९९८, १९९९, २००४, २००९ और २०१४ में जीत दर्ज की। वो प्रथम महिला हैं जो कभी लोकसभा चुनावों में पराजित नहीं हुई और आठ बार लोकसभा चुनाव जीतने वाली प्रथम महिला बनी। लालवानी के जीत से अब इन्दौर को ३० साल बाद पुरुष सांसद मिला है। :: जीत का विश्वास तो था, पर इतनी बड़ी जीत की कल्पना नहीं थी : लालवानी अपनी जीत पर प्रतिक्रिया व्यक्त करते हुए शंकर ललवानी ने कहा जीत का विश्वास तो था, पर इतनी बड़ी जीत की कल्पना नहीं थी। जनता ने इतनी बड़ी जीत दी है, तो मेरे ऊपर शहर की जनता का भार भी काफी रहेगा। बीआरटीएस के विकल्प के रूप में एलिवेटेड ब्रिज होगा, जो शहर की समस्या दूर होगी। ट्रैफिक सुधार और शहर के विकास के लिए ब्लू प्रिंट तैयार करेंगे। लालवानी ने जीत का श्रेय सबसे पहले नरेंद्र मोदी और अपनी पार्टी को दिया। अपने प्रतिद्वंदी पंकज संघवी को लेकर कहा कि वे टूरिस्ट वीजा लेकर चुनाव के मैदान में आते रहे हैं, जबकि उन्हें लगातार सक्रिय रहकर समाज की सेवा करना चाहिए। जनता के बीच रहना चाहिए, जो उन्होंने नहीं किया और इसके परिणाम सामने हैं। :: संघवी ने लालवानी को दी जीत की बधाई :: कांग्रेस के प्रत्याशी पंकज संघवी ने हार के बाद ट्वीट पर भाजपा के शंकर लालवानी को जीत की बधाई दी है। संघवी ने लिखा- हार जीत का फैसला तो भगवान करता है। इंसान कोशिश और मेहनत करता है। भाई शंकर लालवानी को जीत की बधाई। उन्होंने आगे लिखा वल्लभ नगर मेरे निवास पर कई सालों से समाजसेवा जारी थी। आगे भी जारी रहेगी। गरीबों और जरूरतमंद लोगों की मदद आखिरी सांस तक करता रहूंगा। प्रेवियस आर्टियलप्रियंका गांधी ने पीएम मोदी को दी जीत की बधाई, कहा- जनता का फैसला स्वीकार नेक्स्ट आर्टियललालकृष्ण आडवाणी ने मोदी को दी बधाई, कही बड़ी बात ब्जप प्रदेशाध्यक्ष ने गौर नदी को जीवन देने चलाए फावड़े राजनाथ सिंह का तंज- आत्ममंथन करे सपा-कांग्रेस, सिर्फ मोदी विरोध से... हम सत्ता नहीं, व्यवस्था परिवर्तन की लड़ाई लड़ रहे हैं :राय

शरिया न्यायालय: लोकतंत्र के स्थान पर धर्मतंत्र लागू करने का घातक मंसूबा -डॉ. प्रमोद पाठक | क्रांतिदूत शरिया न्यायालय: लोकतंत्र के स्थान पर धर्मतंत्र लागू करने का घातक मंसूबा -डॉ. प्रमोद पाठक ऑल इंडिया मुस्लिम पर्सनल लॉ बोर्ड (एआईएमपीएलबी) ने घोषणा की है कि बोर्ड पूरे भारत में शरिया कोर्ट स्थापित करना शुरू करने वाला है । य... ऑल इंडिया मुस्लिम पर्सनल लॉ बोर्ड (एआईएमपीएलबी) ने घोषणा की है कि बोर्ड पूरे भारत में शरिया कोर्ट स्थापित करना शुरू करने वाला है । यह एक ऐसा असंवैधानिक कदम है जिसे बोर्ड बिना बिचारे अविवेकपूर्ण ढंग से उठाने जा रहा है । उसने यह भी नहीं सोचा कि इससे मुस्लिम समाज का भी को हित है अथवा नहीं । कुछ वर्ष पहले, इस्लामी संगठनों ने केरल में, विशेष रूप से मुस्लिम बहुल जिलों में शरिया कोर्ट शुरू किए थे, लेकिन उन्हें कभी कोई मान्यता नहीं मिली । निश्चित रूप से, काजियों और कठमुल्लाओं द्वारा दिए गए निर्णयों को किसी ने गंभीरता से नहीं लिया । आल इंडिया मुस्लिम पर्सनल लॉ बोर्ड, जो भारत में मुस्लिम आबादी का प्रतिनिधित्व करने का दावा करता है और सत्तारूढ़ केंद्र सरकार के समक्ष शक्ति प्रदर्शन पर आमादा है, जब ऐसा कदम उठाये, तब उसके छुपे मकसद को समझकर गंभीरता से लेने की जरूरत है। ध्यान देने योग्य बात यह है कि मुसलमानों के सिविल मामलों को निबटाने के लिए, पहले से ही भारतीय संविधान में मुस्लिम पर्सनल लॉ निर्मित है, जो लगभग शरिया के आदेशों के अनुरूप ही है। जहाँ तक आपराधिक मामलों का प्रश्न है, वे तो चाहे जितने शरीया कोर्ट बना लो, चलेंगे संविधान के अनुरूप ही | अपराध चाहे हिन्दू करे या मुसलमान, पुलिस कार्यवाही तो एक समान होगी | तो अब सवाल उठता है कि फिर देश में समानान्तर शरिया अदालतों को चलाने की आवश्यकता ही कहां है? किसके लिए होंगे ये शरिया न्यायालय? एआईएमपीएलबी पर मुख्यतः कट्टरपंथी सुन्नीयों का प्रभुत्व है। यह भी ध्यान देने योग्य है कि हाल ही में, इस्लाम के शिया संप्रदाय के लोगों ने रामजन्मभूमि, ट्रिपल तलाक जैसे विषयों पर, सुन्नी संप्रदाय की राय से अलग राय व्यक्त की हैं | जाहिर है कि वे सुन्नियों द्वारा अपने साथ किये जा रहे भेदभाव को महसूस करते हैं। मुस्लिम संप्रदायों के बीच कई अन्य धार्मिक मतभेद हैं और उन्हें कभी सुलझाया नहीं गया है। खोजा, बोहरा और अन्य जैसे छोटे छोटे संप्रदाय, सुन्नी बहुमत के साथ मतभेद रखते हैं और भेदभाव महसूस करते हैं। इसके बाद भी सुन्नी प्रभुत्व वाला एआईएमपीएलबी, मुस्लिम समुदाय के बीच खिची सांप्रदायिक विभाजन की ओर बिना ध्यान दिए, सभी पर समान रूप से शरिया कोड लागू करने की कोशिश कर रहा है? ऐसे में सवाल उठता है कि क्या काजियों द्वारा धुर सांप्रदायिक आधार पर दिए गए फैसले, पूरी मुस्लिम आबादी को स्वीकार्य होंगे? क्या मुसलमानों के पासमांडा, असलाट और अर्जल, ताकत के बूते अशरफ द्वारा लगाए गए शरिया को स्वीकार करेंगे? गुजरे जमाने की आपराधिक न्यायप्रणाली माना जाता है कि शरिया कानून, पवित्र कुरान के आदेशों पर आधारित हैं तथा हदीस कथाओं द्वारा समर्थित हैं | सऊदी अरब, संयुक्त अरब अमीरात जैसे इस्लामी देशों में और अफगानिस्तान में अल-कायदा जैसे आतंकवादी संगठनों द्वारा इनका कड़ाई से पालन किया जाता हैं। न्याय, खुले में होता है, जहां अपराधियों को जमीन पर पटक कर उनका सिर या कोई अन्य अंग आदि काटा जाता है । क्या भारत में भी शरिया अदालतें इसी प्रकार आपराधिक मामलों पर विचार करेंगी और उपरोक्त इस्लामी देशों की तर्ज पर फैसले भी लागू करेंगी? इन दंडों को वे कैसे लागू करेंगे ? जो भी न्यायाधीश या उनका अधीनस्थ इस प्रकार के दंड देगा, क्या वह भारतीय संविधान के विरुद्ध नहीं होगा ? ऐसी परिस्थिति में भारतीय न्याय तंत्र क्या चुपचाप तमाशा देखेगा? एआईएमपीएलबी और बोर्ड के सभी सदस्य भी क़ानून के जानकार हैं, तथा वे बहुत अच्छी तरह से जानते हैं कि उनके इस कदम का हर स्तर पर विरोध होगा । और वे चाहते भी यही हैं | उनका एकमात्र उद्देश्य तो मुस्लिम जन के मन में लोकतंत्र के प्रति विरोधी वातावरण बनाना और मुल्लाओं के प्रभुत्व को स्वीकार करने की मानसिकता तैयार करना है। कुल मिलाकर यह आने वाले लोकसभा चुनावों में मुसलमानों के ध्रुवीकरण का प्रयास है | मुस्लिम जनता चुनाव में केवल उसी को वोट करे, जो पिछले दरवाजे से उनके ईश्वरीय शासन को लागू करने का वादा करे | निश्चय ही यह एक भयानक षडयंत्र का खाका खींचा जा रहा है । इसका एक मकसद उन मदरसा स्नातकों को रोजगार मुहैय्या कराना भी है, जो इस्लामी ग्रंथों और अरबी भाषा से परे कुछ भी नहीं जानते । काश मुस्लिम पर्सनल लॉ बोर्ड की उम्मीदें ओंधे मुंह गिरें, क्योंकि इसके पीछे केवल भारत को सांप्रदायिक आधार पर विभाजित करना है। यह मुस्लिम समाज के प्रगतिशील लोगों के लिए सही समय है कि वे मुल्लावाद के विरोध में खुलकर आवाज उठायें, जैसा कि अन्य इस्लामी देशों में भी हो रहा है। क्रांतिदूत: शरिया न्यायालय: लोकतंत्र के स्थान पर धर्मतंत्र लागू करने का घातक मंसूबा -डॉ. प्रमोद पाठक

ज्नू रो: हाईकोर्ट ने पुलिस प्रमुख बी एस बस्सी के खिलाफ दायर याचिका खारिज की नई दिल्ली: जेएनयू देशद्रोह मामले की जांच को कथित तौर पर प्रभावित करने के लिए पुलिस प्रमुख बी एस बस्सी के खिलाफ कार्रवाई की मांग करने वाली एक याचिका को आज दिल्ली हाई कोर्ट ने खारिज कर दिया. अदालत ने कहा कि यह याचिका प्रचार के लिए है और अदालतों पर ऐसी याचिकाओं का बोझ नहीं डाला जा सकता. मुख्य न्यायाधीश जी रोहिणी और न्यायाधीश जयंत नाथ ने सुनवाई शुरू होने के तत्काल बाद कहा, आपने यह याचिका क्यों दायर की? हम इस बात पर हैरान हैं कि यह जनहित में नहीं बल्कि प्रचार हित में है. पीठ ने याचिकाकर्ता से यह भी पूछा कि वह किस आधार पर ये आरोप लगा रहा है? याचिकाकर्ता सतीश पांडे की ओर से पेश हुए वकील ने अखबार में छपीं खबरों का हवाला दिया और कहा कि याचिका बस्सी की ओर से दिए गए बयान पर आधारित है, जो मीडिया में व्यापक तौर पर प्रकाशित हुआ था. इसपर पीठ ने कहा, हम अखबार की खबरों के अनुरूप नहीं चलेंगे. यदि आपके पास इन अखबारों की खबरों के अलावा कुछ और सामग्री है तो आप हमें बता सकते हैं. इस संक्षिप्त सुनवाई के दौरान वकील ने कहा कि याचिका प्रचार के लिए नहीं है. इसके बाद उन्होंने एक बार फिर अखबार की खबरों का हवाला दिया. इसपर पीठ ने कहा, हम इस तरह की याचिकाओं का बोझ इस अदालत पर नहीं डाल सकते. अखबार की खबरों के अलावा हमें कोई अन्य सामग्री नहीं मिली है. रिट याचिका खारिज की जाती है. पीठ ने यह भी कहा कि मामला सुप्रीम कोर्ट की जानकारी में है और जांच अभी अधूरी है. याचिकाकर्ता ने आरोप लगाया था कि बस्सी का बयान- पुलिस जेएनयू छात्र संघ के अध्यक्ष कन्हैया कुमार की जमानत याचिका का विरोध नहीं करेगी- दरअसल इस मामले में निष्पक्ष एवं स्पष्ट जांच के साथ-साथ अदालती कार्रवाई को भी प्रभावित कर सकता है. याचिका में दावा किया गया कि पुलिस कुछ ऐसे राजनीतिक दलों के हाथों में खेल रही है, जिनके अंतर्गत दिल्ली पुलिस काम कर रही है. याचिका में कहा गया कि बस्सी को निर्देश दिए जाने चाहिएं कि वह १६ फरवरी और १७ फरवरी को दिए अपने बयानों पर अपने विचार स्पष्ट करें. अपनी याचिका में पांडे ने दावा किया था कि पुलिस आयुक्त जैसे उच्च स्तर के अधिकारी की ओर से बेवजह दबाव बनाए जाने की स्थिति में ऐसे किसी मामले में कोई जांच अधिकारी मामले की जांच निष्पक्ष ढंग से नहीं कर सकता. याचिकाकर्ता ने अदालत से अनुरोध किया था कि वह बस्सी को जांच प्रभावित न करने का निर्देश दे. पांडे ने दावा किया था, आरोपियों के खिलाफ देशद्रोह और आपराधिक साजिश के आरोप कोई अकेले व्यक्ति द्वारा अंजाम दिया गया अपराध नहीं है बल्कि एक सार्वजनिक अपराध है और देश का हर नागरिक प्रभावित है. बस्सी के अलावा, याचिकाकर्ता ने कन्हैया, केंद्र और दिल्ली सरकार को प्रतिवादी बनाया था.

पारंपरिक डॉक्टरों की भी सेवानिवृत्त की उम्र ६५ वर्ष होः तिब्बी कांग्रेस नई दिल्ली (भाषा)। यूनानी डॉक्टरों की संस्था ऑल इंडिया तिब्बी कांग्रेस ने प्रधानमंत्री नरेंद्र मोदी को पत्र लिखकर यूनानी, आयुर्वेदिक और होमियोपेथिक डॉक्टरों की सेवानिवृत्ति की उम्र भी ६५ वर्ष करने की मांग की है। संस्था के महासचिव डॉक्टर सैयद अहमद खान ने कहा कि डॉक्टरों की कमी को ध्यान में रखते हुए केंद्र सरकार ने केंद्रीय स्वास्थ्य सेवा के सभी डॉक्टरों की सेवानिवृत्ति की उम्र बढ़ाकर ६५ वर्ष करने के स्वास्थ्य एवं परिवार कल्याण मंत्रालय के प्रस्ताव को मंजूर कर लिया है। उन्होंने कहा कि सेवानिवृत्ति की उम्र बढ़ाने संबंधी स्वास्थ्य मंत्रालय द्वारा जारी किये गए बयान में यूनानी, आयुर्वेदिक और होमियोपेथिक डॉक्टरों को शामिल नहीं किया गया। उन्होंने कहा कि तिब्बी कांग्रेस ने प्रधानमंत्री मोदी को पत्र लिखकर गुजारिश की है कि देश के पारंपरिक डॉक्टरों के साथ भेदभाव नहीं होना चाहिए। डॉक्टर खान ने पत्र में प्रधानमंत्री से मामले में दखल देने का अनुरोध करते हुए कहा कि देश के स्वास्थ्य क्षेत्र का यूनानी, आयुर्वेदिक और होमियोपेथिक डॉक्टर महत्वपूर्ण हिस्सा हैं और ये डॉक्टर केंद्र सरकार की स्वास्थ्य सेवाओं के लिए भी काम करते हैं। उन्होंने प्रधानमंत्री से इस भेदभाव को खत्म करने को कहते हुए यूनानी, आयुर्वेदिक और होमियोपेथिक डॉक्टरों की सेवानिवृत्ति की उम्र भी ६५ वर्ष करने का ऐलान २१ जून को मनाए जाने वाले योग दिवस से पहले करने की मांग की है।
औथोर दि संडे पोस्ट डेस्क ११ भारत में न्यायपालिका में भी भ्रष्टाचार के आरोप लगते रहे हैं। अब सुप्रीम कोर्ट ने पांच सदस्यीय बेंच बनाकर भ्रष्टाचार के खिलाफ अभियान छेड़ दिया है। सभी जानते हैं कि भारत की अदालतों में भ्रष्टाचार व्याप्त है आम धारणा यह है कि निचली अदालतों में भ्रष्टाचार बहुत अधिक है और जैसे-जैसे ऊपर की अदालतों में जाते हैं, वह कम होता जाता है। भारतीय इतिहास में पहली बार इलाहाबाद हाईकोर्ट के मौजूदा जज के खिलाफ मामला दर्ज होने जा रहा है। भ्रष्टाचार के मामले में सुप्रीम कोर्ट ने सख्ती दिखाते हुए इलाहाबाद हाईकोर्ट के मौजूदा जस्टिस के खिलाफ मुकदमा दर्ज करने का आदेश दिया है। चीफ जस्टिस ऑफ इण्डिया रंजन गोगोई ने सीबीआई को तत्काल मामला दर्ज करने के लिए कहा है।हाईकोर्ट के जस्टिस एस एन शुक्ला पर भ्रष्टाचार के गंभीर आरोप हैं। न्यायमूर्ति शुक्ला पर यूपी के मेडिकल कालेज में एमबीबीएस के लिए प्रवेश में अपने पद का दुरुपयोग करते हुए गड़बड़ी करने का आरोप है। कहा गया कि निजी मेडिकल कालेज को लाभ पहुंचाने के लिए न्यायमूर्ति शुक्ला ने सत्र २०१७-१८ में प्रवेश तिथि बढ़ाई थी। यही वजह है कि जस्टिस एस एन शुक्ला के न्यायिक फैसले लेने पर जनवरी 20१८ से रोक लगी हुई है। वहीं चीफ जस्टिस रंजन गोगोई ने कार्य स्थल परिवर्तन प्रस्ताव भी ठुकरा दिया। खास बात है कि सीजेआई ने पीएम मोदी को जून माह में पत्र लिखकर संसद में अभियोग लाकर शुक्ला को पद से हटाने की मांग भी की थी। तीस बरसों में ऐसा पहली बार हुआ है कि सीबीआई को किसी सिटिंग जज के मामले में मुकदमा दर्ज करने की अनुमति दी गई है। गौरतलब है कि तीस साल पहले १९९१ में वीरास्वामी केस में किसी भी जांच एजेंसी को सुप्रीम कोर्ट या हाईकोर्ट में कार्यरत किसी भी जज के खिलाफ दस्तावेज सीजेआई को दिखाए बिना जांच शुरु करने के लिए एफआईआर दर्ज करने की अनुमति नहीं दी थी। ज्ञात हो कि हाईकोर्ट में कार्यरत किसी भी जज के खिलाफ १९९१ से पहले किसी भी एजेंसी ने किसी भी मामले में हाईकोर्ट में कार्यरत जज के खिलाफ मामले में जांच नहीं की थी। उसके बाद से यह पहली बार है जब कोई जांच एजेंसी को सिटिंग जज के खिलाफ एफआईआर दर्ज करने की अनुमति दी गई है। प्रियंका चोपड़ा ने अपना बर्थडे पर काटा लाखो रु का केक, जानिए खासियत नीति और नीयत पर संदेह मुकद्दर का सिकंदर बने महानायक को मिलेगा दादा साहेब फाल्के अवार्ड विपक्षी एकजुटता के बाद भी संसद से पारित हुआ नागरिकता संशोधन विधेयक ट्रेन की पटरी पर फेंका खाना खाता व्यक्ति का वीडियो वायरल, लोग बोले हमें शर्म आनी चाहिए
मुख्यपृष्ठमैथेमेटिक्स विज़नभिन्न या दशमलव वाली संख्याओं का ल.स और म.स पता करना। ल.स और म.स का टू इन ओन. हल : ४ / ५, और ३ / ७ का ल.स. = अंश का ल.स. / हर का म.स. या = ४ और ३ का ल.स. / ५ और ७ का म.स. या = १२ / १ चलिए अब हम ४ / ५, और ३ / ७ का ल.स. और म.स. बिना भिन्न वाले सूत्र लगायें ज्ञात करते हैं । इसके लिए हमको इन दोनों भिन्नों को खंडित करना होगा। भिन्नों को तोड़ना या खंडित करने के लिए हमें हर वाले मान को समाप्त करना होगा। हर वाले मान को दो प्रकार से हटाया या समाप्त किया जा सकता : भिन्न को दशमलव में बदलकर । किसी संख्या से अंश में गुणा करें और जो ल. स. और म.स. मिला है उसमें में उसी संख्या से भाग कर दें जिससे पहले गुणा किया गया था । बहुत ही आसानी से काम हो जायेगा। चलिए उदाहरण की सहायता से समझते हैं। उदाहरण : भिन्नों ४ / ५, और ३ / ७ का ल.स. और म.स. बिना भिन्न वाले सूत्र लगायें ज्ञात करने के लिए हम सबसे पहले दोनों भिन्नों के हर का ल.स. निकालना होगा या फिर ऐसी संख्या का गुणा करें दोनों भिन्नों कि हर वाला मान हट जाये । ५ और ७ का ल.स. = ३५ होगा। इसलिए ४ / ५, और ३ / ७ में ३५ का गुणा करने पर, ( ४ / ५ ) 3५ = ४ ७ और ( ३ / ७ ) ३५ = ३ ५ अब २८ और १५ का म.स.और ल.स. आसानी से पता कर सकते हैं। २८ = १ २ २ ७ और दोनों गुणनखंडो में सिर्फ एक ( १ ) मिल रहा है। इसलिए २८ और १५ का म.स. = १ होगा। चुँकि हमने भिन्नों को तोड़ने के लिए ३५ से गुणा किया था , इसलिए हमें ३५ से भाग करनी पड़ेगी । भाग करने पर, १ / ३५ होगा। अतः भिन्न ४ / ५, और ३ / ७ का म.स. = १ / ३५ अब २८ और १५ का ल.स. = २८ १५ = ४२०. चुँकि हमने २८ और १५ प्राप्त किया है भिन्नों ४ / ५, और ३ / ७ में ३५ का गुणा करने पर । इसलिए अब हमें ३५ से ४20 में भाग करनी पड़ेगी। भाग करने पर, ४२० / ३५ = ६ ७ १० / ५ ७ अतः भिन्न ४ / ५, और ३ / ७ का म.स. = १२ आगे जारी है... दशमलव का ल.स.और म.स. । नोट : भिन्नों को दशमलव में भी बदलकर ल.स.और म.स. निकाला जा सकता है। पर जो भिन्नें पूर्णतः विभाजित होती हैं । उनका ही आसानी से ल.स.और म.स. निकाला जा सकता है ।

अूनप पाण्डेय, नई दिल्ली जीटीबी अस्पताल में मंगलवार को बच्चा बदले जाने के एक मामले को लेकर सुबह से शाम तक गाइनी वार्ड में हंगामे की स्थिति बनी रही। शाम के वक्त पुलिस और अस्पताल प्रशासन ने बीच-बचाव कर मामले को शांत कराया। जानकारी के मुताबिक, बड़ौत के रहने वाले इमरान ने डिलिवरी के लिए अपनी पत्नी फरजाना को जीटीबी अस्पताल में भर्ती कराया था जहां ऑपरेशन के बाद फरजाना को बच्चा पैदा हुआ। पति इमरान ने बताया कि मेडिकल कारणों से मां और बच्चे के अलग-अलग रखा गया था। सुबह के वक्त अस्पताल की एक महिला स्टाफ फरजाना के पास एक बच्चे को लेकर आई और बोली कि तुम्हें बेटा पैदा हुआ है, इसे अपना दूध पिलाओ। दूध पिलाने के बाद वह फिर बच्चे को लेकर चली गई। वही स्टाफ थोड़ी देर बाद दोबारा आई और बोली कि तुम्हें बेटा नहीं, बेटी हुई है। इसके बाद फरजाना के परिजनों ने बच्चा बदलने का आरोप लगाते हुए हंगामा करना शुरू कर दिया। हंगामे को बढ़ता देख मौके पर पुलिस और अस्पताल के अधिकारी पहुंच गए। सुबह से लेकर शाम तक चले हंगामे के बाद अस्पताल प्रशासन ने फरजाना के परिजनों को समझा-बुझाकर मामले को शांत कराया। जब नए सिरे से सारे पेपर चेक किए गए तो पता चला कि फरजाना को बेटा नहीं, बेटी ही पैदा हुई थी। अस्पताल की उस महिला स्टाफ की एक गलतफहमी की वजह से ऐसी अजीब स्थिति बन गई। हंगामे के दौरान दोनों ही मांओं का रो-रोकर बुरा हाल था। अस्पताल के मेडिकल डायरेक्टर सुनील कुमार गौतम ने बताया कि इस मामले की जानकारी अभी उन तक नहीं पहुंच पाई है।
महाराष्ट्र: शिवसेना-एनसीपी की सरकार बनाने की तैयारी लोकभारत मुंबई। महाराष्ट्र में सबसे बड़ी पार्टी होने के बावजूद सरकार बनाने से इंकार करने के बाद अब बीजेपी का विपक्ष में बैठना तय माना जा रहा है। वहीँ अब राज्यपाल भगत सिंह कोश्यारी राज्य में दूसरे नंबर की पार्टी शिवसेना को सरकार बनाने का न्यौता दे सकते हैं। बीजेपी द्वारा सरकार बनाने से इंकार किये जाने के बाद शिवसेना सांसद संजय राउत ने बड़ा बयान दिया है। संजय राउत ने कहा कि उद्धव जी ने साफतौर पर कहा है कि महाराष्ट्र का मुख्यमंत्री शिवसेना का होगा, यदि उन्होंने कहा है तो हर कीमत पर मुख्यमंत्री शिवसेना का ही होगा। वहीँ इससे पहले महाराष्ट्र में शिवसेना को समर्थन देने के मुद्दे पर कांग्रेस प्रभारी और वरिष्ठ नेता मल्लिकार्जुन खड़गे ने रविवार को कहा कि महाराष्ट्र की जनता ने हमें विपक्ष में बैठने का जनादेश दिया है और यही फैसला हमारा है। उन्होंने कहा कि कुछ बयानों में कांग्रेस के शिवसेना को समर्थन देने की बात सामने आ रही है और कुछ इससे इंकार कर रहे हैं लेकिन इन बयानों में कोई सच्चाई नहीं है। गौरतलब है कि महाराष्ट्र में किसी भी पार्टी के पास पूर्ण बहुमत नहीं है। ऐसे में अकेले सरकार बना पाना किसी भी पार्टी के लिए सम्भव नहीं है। बीजेपी शिवसेना ने मिलकर विधानसभा चुनाव लड़ा था लेकिन दोनों दलों के बीच में मुख्यमंत्री पद को लेकर रार पैदा हो गयी। हालाँकि शिवसेना की तरफ से दावा किया जा रहा है कि उसे महाराष्ट्र में सरकार बनाने के लिए एनसीपी और कांग्रेस का समर्थन मिलेगा। हालाँकि कांग्रेस और एनसीपी ने अभी तक आधिकारिक तौर पर शिवसेना को समर्थन देने की बात नहीं कही है। ऐसे में देखना होगा कि क्या राज्यपाल कोश्यारी शिवसेना को सरकार बनाने का न्यौता देंगे? यदि ऐसा होता है तो शिवसेना को महाराष्ट्र में सरकार बनाने के लिए एनसीपी और कांग्रेस समर्थन देते हैं अथवा नहीं।

हेडली, इशरत व भारतीय पाखंड होम > संवाद > हेडली, इशरत व भारतीय पाखंड जब अमेरिका में हेडली से पहली पूछताछ में एनआईए ने उसके ब्योरे को पेश किया तो यह राजनीतिक बवंडर खड़ा हो गया कि इशरत लश्कर से जुड़ी थी और अपना मिशन पूरा नहीं कर पाई। संदर्भ हटा दिए गए, उन्हें निरस्त और खारिज कर दिया गया। अब हेडली अपने २०१० के बयान को ही दोहरा रहा है। हेडली के दावों से तीन विवादित तस्वीरें उभर रही हैं। पहली उसका दावा एकदम खोखला है। वह दोषी है। साथ ही ऐसा दोहरा एजेंट रहा है, जिसने अमेरिकी और भारतीय कानून में टाडा अदालत से माफी के जरिए राहत पाई है। इशरत के बारे में उसका बयान राजग सरकार द्वारा दी गई माफी के बदले एहसान भी हो सकता है। लिहाजा, उनकी मूल धारणा में कोई बदलाव नहीं आया है कि इशरत निर्दोष थी, जो फर्जी मुठभेड़ की भेंट चढ़ गई। दूसरा, अब तमाम सबूत बोलते हैं कि इशरत लश्कर की सक्रिय सदस्य थी और अगर पुलिस ने उन लोगों का उड़ा दिया तो इसमें क्या समस्या है, आपको आतंकियों से सक्रियता के साथ निपटने की दरकार है। तीसरी तस्वीर नागरिक अधिकारवादियों का यह सुविधाजनक पहलू कि अगर वह आतंकी थी भी, तो क्या? क्या इससे फ़र्जी मुठभेड़ को वैधता मिल जाती है? इन सभी तस्वीरों के तर्क भारी पड़ते हैं लेकिन ये तथ्य और नैतिकता के आधार पर दोषपूर्ण भी हैं। चलिए उन शुरुआती तीन पहलुओं के संदर्भ में इन्हें कसौटी पर कसते हैं। पहला यह कि संप्रग शासन के दौरान खुफिया हलकों में यह मान लिया गया था कि इशरत एलईटी की सदस्य थी। उस गिरोह को सुनियोजित मुठभेड़ में मार गिराया गया, जो आतंक से निपटने की कवायद के 'अनुरूप' ही था। असल में संप्रग के दूसरे कार्यकाल में ही यह शुरू हुआ, जब सरकार को गुजरात से चुनौती कड़ी होती दिखी और उसके मोदी, शाह और उनके सक्रिय पसंदीदा पुलिसकर्मियों पर उनके विशेष परिचालन समूहों ने सक्रियता बढ़ा दी और 'फर्जी मुठभेड़' पर मातमपुर्सी का सिलसिला शुरू हुआ। इसके दोहरे मकसद थे। एक तो राजनीतिक प्रतिद्वंद्वियों की जड़ें काटना और दूसरा मुसलमानों को पीडि़त के तौर पर पेश कर चुनावी फायदा उठाना। वास्तव में जब अदालती दखल और शीर्ष राजनीतिक स्तर पर संप्रग के फैसले से मुठभेड़ सुर्खियों में लौटी और राजेंद्र कुमार को लपेटा जाने लगाए जब देश में पहली बार आईबी के किसी अधिकारी के साथ ऐसा सुलूक हो रहा था तो संगठन के अंदरूनी ढर्रे की परतें खुलनी लगीं, जिससे सुरक्षा हलकों में बेचैनी बढ़ गई। तमाम वयोवृद्ध दिग्गजों सहित कई वरिष्ठ अधिकारियों ने इसका विरोध किया और तर्क दिया कि यह बेहद जोखिमभरा है और ऐसी मुठभेड़ें का राजनीतिकरण नहीं किया जाना चाहिए मगर सियासत इस पर हावी हो गई। एक स्तर पर यह सीबीआई बनाम आईबी की लड़ाई बन गई। दूसरी ओर कांग्रेस के विशेष परिचालन समूह के सदस्यों ने नए सिद्धांत गढ़ लिए, जैसे कि कुमार और नरेंद्र मोदी का (नजदीकी याराना) रहा है और जब मोदी हिमाचल में भाजपा के प्रभारी थे तो चंडीगढ़ में आईबी की कमान संभाल रहे कुमार के साथ उनकी करीबी बढ़ी। यह खोज करने में संप्रग को एक दशक, तीन गृह मंत्री और पांच आईबी प्रमुख लग गए। अब यह खुलासा हो चुका है और कांग्रेस को नहीं पता कि उसे कहां मुंह छिपाना है। यह किसी से छिपा नहीं रहा कि सुरक्षा संबंधी सभी खतरों से निपटने में कांग्रेस खासी क्रूर रही है। वर्ष १९८४ से १९९३ के दरमियान उसने बेमिसाल एकनिष्ठता के साथ गुप्त तरीके से पंजाब में अलगाववाद को नेस्तनाबूद किया। अगर विशाल भारद्वाज की 'हैदर' में नब्बे के दशक की शुरुआत के दौरान कश्मीर में आतंक विरोधी गतिविधियों से निपटने की हृदय विदारक तस्वीर ने आपको विचलित किया हो तो याद रखिए कि यह सब नरसिंह राव की 'कमजोर' और अल्पमत वाली कांग्रेस सरकार के दौरान हो रहा था। इसलिए कांग्रेस के लिए सीधा जवाब यही होगा कि देखो इस मसले पर कौन आवाज उठा रहा है। सबसे बेवकूफाना तर्क यह है कि भाजपा ने हेडली को माफी दी और इशरत को लेकर उसका दावा सौदेबाजी का हिस्सा है। हेडली को लेकर सौदेबाजी संप्रग के समय में ही शुरू हुई थी। अगर आपको संदेह है तो तत्कालीन अमेरिकी राजदूत टिम रोमर की नारायणन से बातचीत के लीक अमेरिकी केबल पर गौर कीजिए, जिसमें वह कहते हैं कि भारत खुद को ऐसे पेश नहीं कर सकता कि वह प्रत्यर्पण से पीछे हट रहा है, लेकिन फिलहाल इसे नहीं उठाएगा। स्वाभाविक रूप से रोमर इशारा करते हैं कि अमेरिकी कानून में अगर किसी को दोषी ठहराया जाता है तो जब तक सजा पूरी न हो जाए, उसका प्रत्यर्पण नहीं हो सकता और यह मामला ३५ साल की सजा से जुड़ा है। लिहाजा, भारतीय माफी महज औपचारिकता है। नागरिक अधिकारवादियों का मामला ज्यादा पुख्ता है, खासतौर से जब वे यह कहते हैं कि अगर वह आतंकी थी भी तो क्या। कोई भी कानून फर्जी मुठभेड़ों को वैधता नहीं देता। यह सर्वमान्य है। भाजपा का तर्क है कि आतंकियों को किसी भी सूरत में ठिकाने लगाया जा सकता है, भले ही वह नैतिक और कानूनी रूप से गलत हो। सवाल है कि क्या इशरत मामला फर्जी मुठभेड़ है। फर्जी और वास्तविक मुठभेड़ों (बटला हाउस मुठभेड़ भी संप्रग के दौर में हुई) के अलावा एक तीसरी और प्रचलित श्रेणी है। खुफिया लोगों ने सबसे अशिष्ट चीज के लिए बेहद शिष्ट शब्द गढ़ा है। इसे वे निर्देशित हत्या का नाम देते हैं। इशरत मुठभेड़ न तो वास्तविक थी और न ही फर्जी। मेरे नजरिए ये यह नियंत्रित हत्या थी। अगर आतंकी खतरों के बढऩे से ऐसी और हत्याएं जरूरी हैं तो आपको भी अमेरिका की तरह कानूनी ढांचा बनाना होगा। या फिर स्कैंडेनेवियाई देशों की राह चलना होगा। अगर इस अवैध और अनैतिक कृत्य को लेकर आप असंतोष जताते हैं तो आपको इसकी शुरुआत कुछ पहले से करनी होगी और अगर १९६८-७१ के दौर वाले नक्सली अध्याय से नहीं तो १९८४-९३ के पंजाब से ही सही। आप इशरत पर भी नहीं रुक सकते। क्या संप्रग के राज में किसी आजाद नाम के माओवादी पर कोई हंगामा हुआ, आजाद भारत में किसी अन्य की तुलना में कांग्रेस के राज में ही सबसे ज्यादा नियंत्रित हत्याएं हुईं। असंतोष जताने के लिए सुविधावादी नहीं हुआ जा सकता।
इस नेता का बड़ा बयान, कहा पीएम मोदी करते है कपड़ों से...इनकी पहचान इंदौर में एक सभा को संबोधित करते हुए विजयवर्गीय ने कहा, मेरे घर में हाल ही में निर्माण कार्य चल रहा था। इस दौरान मेरे यहां काम कर रहे मजदूर जब खाना खाने बैठे तो मुझे उनके खाना खाने का तरीका कुछ अजीब लगा। वे सभी पोहा खा रहे थे। मैंने उनके सुपरवाइजर से पूछा कि ये लोग बंगलादेशी हैं क्या? इसके बाद वे मजदूर काम पर ही नहीं आए। बता दें कि असम में न्र्च के खिलाफ हुए हिंसात्मक प्रदर्शन के दौरान पीएम मोदी झारखंड में एक चुनावी सभा को संबोधित कर रहे थे। इस दौरान मंच से उन्होंने कहा था कि देश में आग कौन लोग लगा रहे हैं, यह उनके कपड़ों से पता चल जाता है। पीएम मोदी ने कहा था, ये कांग्रेस और उसके साथी हो-हल्ला मचा रहे हैं, तूफान खड़ा कर रहे हैं. उनकी बात चलती नहीं है तो आगजनी फैला रहे हैं. ये जो आग लगा रहे हैं, टीवी पर जो उनके दृश्य आ रहे हैं, ये आग लगाने वाले कौन हैं, उनके कपड़ों से ही पता चल जाता है। नागरिकता संशोधन कानून के खिलाफ देशव्यापी प्रदर्शन जारी है। पिछले दिनों पीएम मोदी ने कहा था कि जो लोग देश में आग लगाते हैं, उनके कपड़ों से ही पता चल जाता है कि वे कौन लोग हैं। अब भारतीय जनता पार्टी के वरिष्ठ नेता कैलाश विजयवर्गीय ने एक विवादित बयान दिया है। उन्होंने कहा, मेरे घर में काम कर रहे मजदूरों के पोहा खाने के तरीके से मैं समझ गया कि वह बांग्लादेशी हैं। प्रेवियस केजरीवाल के सपोर्ट उतरा ये चाय वाला, फ्री में पीला रहे ४ किस्म की चाय नेक्स्ट बाबा रामदेव ने मोदी सरकार को दी ये नसीहत, कहा इस पर दे ध्यान
दर्शनशास्त्र एक विज्ञान है जिसका जन्म हुआउम्र की गहराई। यह हर समय महत्वपूर्ण और प्रासंगिक था। स्वाभाविक रूप से, दर्शन अभी भी इसकी लोकप्रियता खो नहीं है। और आजकल इसमें मनुष्य के स्थान और उससे संबंधित मामलों में शामिल महान विचारक शामिल हैं। आधुनिक दर्शन में काफी बदलाव आया है, लेकिन इसका अर्थ नहीं खो गया है। आइए सभी सुविधाओं को और अधिक विस्तार से देखें। हमारे समय का दर्शन हैसभी प्रकार के अभ्यास का एक सेट। यह एक अभिन्न दुनियादृश्य नहीं है, लेकिन बारहमासी मुद्दों के लिए विभिन्न दृष्टिकोण हैं। आधुनिक दर्शन पहले की तुलना में अधिक सहनशील है। अब व्यक्ति को चुनने का पूरा अधिकार है। एक आधुनिक व्यक्ति खुद को तय कर सकता है कि दुनिया का क्या विचार है और इसमें किसी व्यक्ति की जगह उसके करीब है। साथ ही, एक व्यक्ति अपनी वैचारिक स्थिति की पसंद के लिए पूरी ज़िम्मेदारी लेता है। आधुनिक दर्शन ने निर्माण करने से इंकार कर दियाकोई सटीक सिस्टम। विचारक दृढ़ निष्कर्ष पर पहुंचे कि न तो मूल पैमाने और न ही पूर्ण संदर्भ प्रणाली मौजूद हो सकती है। हमारे समय के दर्शन ने मनुष्य को पूर्ण स्वायत्तता दी है। अब राज्य, विचारकों और समाज के व्यक्ति में अब तक तथाकथित "शिक्षक" नहीं हैं। नतीजतन, उनके जीवन की ज़िम्मेदारी एक व्यक्ति केवल अपने कंधों पर भालू होती है। आधुनिक दर्शन लगभग पूरी तरह से हैदुनिया और किसी भी सामाजिक संस्थानों को बदलने का विचार छोड़ दिया। विचारकों ने एक और अधिक तर्कसंगत और कुशल तरीके से होने की अपरिपूर्णता को खत्म करने का फैसला किया। उन्होंने निष्कर्ष निकाला कि एक व्यक्ति को पहले खुद को बदलना चाहिए, और उसके बाद, पूरी दुनिया अनिवार्य रूप से बदल जाएगी। हालांकि, इस अनुशासन का अपना हैसमस्याओं। कुछ विशेषज्ञ दार्शनिक विचारों के संकट को भी ध्यान में रखते हैं। कारण क्या है? आधुनिक तकनीक हर दिन विकसित हो रही है। जीवन बहुत तेज़ी से बदल रहा है, क्योंकि यह कई क्षेत्रों में वास्तविक सफलता की उम्र है। दर्शनशास्त्र में ऐसी महत्वपूर्ण प्रगति के लिए समय नहीं है। हालांकि, एक व्यक्ति का आध्यात्मिक विकास इसके सफल गठन पर निर्भर करता है। सभी तकनीकी नवाचारों के साथ, जीवन के अमूर्त पहलुओं के बिना सभ्यता विकसित की जानी चाहिए। यही कारण है कि आधुनिक दुनिया में दर्शन की भूमिका बस विशाल है। आइए संक्षेप में मुख्य समीक्षा करने का प्रयास करेंइस अनुशासन के निर्देश। सबसे पहले, यह एक विश्लेषणात्मक दर्शन है। इसमें भाषाविज्ञान द्वारा एक महत्वपूर्ण भूमिका निभाई जाती है। विश्लेषणात्मक दर्शन ने भाषा को व्यावहारिक रूप से अपनी नींव बना दी है। यह दिशा जीवन के ज्ञान के लिए एक तर्कसंगत, तार्किक, अनुसंधान दृष्टिकोण का पालन करती है। दूसरा, यह फेनोमिनोलॉजी है। यह दिशा मानव मनोविज्ञान की गहराई में जाती है। इसके अनुसार, प्रत्येक वस्तु और घटना को किसी भी विशेषताओं के साथ भौतिक वस्तुओं के रूप में नहीं माना जाना चाहिए। यह याद रखना उचित है कि एक वास्तविक जीवन की चीज़ और किसी व्यक्ति के दिमाग में इसकी समझ काफी भिन्न हो सकती है। यह ऐसी घटनाओं और वस्तुओं की छवियां हैं जिन्हें इस प्रवृत्ति को उनके आधार के रूप में माना जाता है और उन्हें तय किया जाता है, जिससे उन्हें घटना कहा जाता है। तीसरा, यह आधुनिकतावाद है। यह एक बहुत ही विविध और विविध दिशा है। हालांकि, यह सामान्य विचार से एकजुट है कि सभी पुराने रूढ़िवादों, दृष्टिकोणों को त्यागना जरूरी है जो अब दार्शनिक विचारों के सफल विकास में बाधा डालना शुरू कर चुके हैं। आधुनिकतावाद पुराने परंपराओं को खारिज कर देता है और दुनिया के ज्ञान के नए रूपों की तलाश में है। अब आप आधुनिक की सभी सुविधाओं को जानते हैंदर्शन। इस अवधि के दौरान, यह अनुशासन एक अस्थिर स्थिति में है, इसलिए इसकी मुख्य विशेषताओं को स्पष्ट रूप से पहचानना मुश्किल है। समाज की संस्कृति और आध्यात्मिक जीवन में दर्शन की जगह और भूमिका
रीवा में आचार्य विद्यासागर के सम्मान में २१ फीट ऊंचा संयम कीर्ति स्तंभ जैन संत शिरोमणि आचार्य विद्यासागर के सम्मान में किया गया स्थापित,सकल दिगंबर जैन समाज ने सहयोग से रखी है आधारशिला रीवा। रीवा शहर के हृदय स्थल में स्थित अस्पताल चौराहे की पहचान अब संयम कीर्ति स्तंभ से की जाएगी। सफेद संगमरमर का यह स्तंभ न केवल शहरियों के लिए आकर्षण का केंद्र होगा बल्कि जैन धर्म के बारे में तमाम जानकारियों से भी अवगत कराएगा। संयम कीर्ति स्तंभ को सकल दिगंबर जैन समाज और श्री दिगंबर जैन समाज कल्याण समिति के संयुक्त प्रयाय से स्थापित किया जा रहा है। जैन समाज के महामंत्री राजेश जैन ने बताया कि जैन समाज के संत शिरोमणि आचार्य विद्यासागर महाराज की दीक्षा को ५० वर्ष हो गए। इस अवसर पर उनके सम्मान में संयम स्वर्ण महोत्सव मनाया जा रहा है। देशभर के २५६ शहरों में संयम कीर्ति स्तंभ स्थापित किए जा रहे हैं। इसी कड़ी में रीवा में अस्पताल चौराहे पर संयम कीर्ति स्तंभ स्थापित किया गया है। उन्होंने बताया कि इसमें करीब छह लाख रुपए का खर्च आया है जो जैन समाज के लोगों के सहयोग से संभव हुआ है। उन्होंने अस्पताल चौराहे पर स्थापित करने के उद्देश्य के बारे में बताया कि जैन समाज संयमित जीवन जीता है। जैन धर्म यही सिखाता है। संतों की वाणी भी यही कहती है। संयम कीर्ति स्तंभ सभी समाज के लोगों को संयम धारण करने और संयमित जीवनशैली अपनाने की प्रेरणा देगा। खास बात ये है कि संयम कीर्ति स्तंभ राजस्थान के मकराना से मंगाया गया है। जनवरी में होगा लोकार्पण संयम कीर्ति स्तंभ का लोकार्पण जनवरी में पूजा-पाठ और शुद्धिकरण कर किया जाएगा। इसकी तैयारियां जोरों पर चल रही हैं। स्तंभ के अलावा चौराहे के ग्राउंड का रंग-रोगन और सौंदर्यीकरण किया जा रहा है। लोकार्पण से पहले कटरा स्थित जैन मंदिर में संतों की मौजूदगी में पूजा-पाठ होगा और स्तंभ शुद्धिकरण किया जाएगा। इसमें उपदेश हैं उल्लेखित संयम कीर्ति स्तंभ २१ फीट ऊंचा है। इसमें आचार्य श्री विद्यासागर महाराज द्वारा लिखे ग्रंथो के कुछ अंश लिखे हुए हैं। जैन धर्म के उपदेश उल्लेखित हैं। शिखर पर कलश स्थापित है तो जैन संतों के द्वारा धारण किए जाने वाले पीछी और कमंडल भी अंकित हैं। रीवा में सात जनवरी को गर्ल्स मैराथन, प्रथम आने पर मिलेंगे २०,००० रुपए, जानिए कैसे? जानिए, एपीएस विवि में बेटियों ने क्या गुल खिलाया जिंदा आदमी ने आरटीआई में मांगी मृत होने के प्रमाण, जानिए क्यों कमीशन के मकडज़ाल में अटकी मुख्यमंत्री रोजगार योजनाएं एक हजार प्रॉस्पेक्टिंग लाइसेंस निरस्त , जानिए क्यों प्रधानमंत्री के सपने को साकार कर रही रीवा की बेटी १२०० वर्ष पहले शंकराचार्य ने किया था एकात्म चिंतन, अब फिर सुर्खियों में ये स्थान
रहस्य: ९०० साल सूखा पड़ा था, पूरी सभ्यता ही नष्ट हो गई | नेशनल न्यूज कोलकाता। सिंधु घाटी सभ्यता की समाप्ति के रहस्यों को जानने की कोशिश आज भी हो रही है। कुछ ने सूखे को तो कुछ भयंकर बाढ़ को तो कुछ बाहरी आक्रमण को सिंधु घाटी सभ्यता के खत्म होने की वजह मानते हैं। कुछ वैज्ञानिकों ने जलवायु परिवर्तन को भी एक वजह माना है। हाल ही में आइआइटी, खड़गपुर के वैज्ञानिकों ने लगभग ४३५० साल पहले सिंधु घाटी सभ्यता के खत्म होने की वजह बने सूखे की अवधि का पता लगाया है। आइआइटी खड़गपुर के वैज्ञानिकों को एक शोध में पता चला है कि यह सूखा कुछ साल या कुछ दशक नहीं बल्कि पूरे ९०० साल तक चला था। वैज्ञानिकों ने उस थ्योरी को भी गलत साबित कर दिया, जिसमें सूखे के २०० साल में खत्म हो जाने की बात कही गई थी। आइआइटी, खड़गपुर के भूगर्भशास्त्र और भूभौतिकी विभाग के शोधकर्ताओं ने पिछले लगभग ५००० साल के दौरान मॉनसून के पैटर्न का अध्ययन किया और पाया कि लगभग ९०० साल तक उत्तर पश्चिम हिमालय में बारिश न के बराबर हुई। इस कारण सिंधु और इसकी सहायक नदियां जो बारिश से साल भर भरी रहती थीं, सूख गईं। इन नदियों के किनारे ही सिंधु घाटी सभ्यता अस्तित्व में थी। नदियों में पानी खत्म होने से लोग पूर्व और दक्षिण की ओर गंगा-यमुना घाटी की ओर चले गए जहां बारिश बेहतर होती थी।
नई दिल्ली। फिल्म 'एवेंडर्स एंडग्मे' ने बॉक्स-ऑफिस पर रिलीज होते ही धमाल मचा दिया है. दर्शकों को इस फिल्म का लंबे समय से इंतजार था. हालांकि इस फिल्म के क्लाइमेक्स को देखकर लोग अपने इमोशन्स पर कंट्रोल नहीं कर पा रहे हैं और उन्हें अस्पताल में भर्ती करवाना पड़ रहा है. सुनकर हैरानी होना लाजमी है लेकिन यह बात एकदम सच है. बता दें, ऐसा ही एक मामला चीन में देखने को मिला. जहां फिल्म देखने आई २१ साल की एक लड़की को तुरंत अस्पताल पहुंचाना पड़ा. चीन में २१ साल की एक मार्वल फैन उनकी 'एवेंजर्स एंडगेम' देखने के लिए थियेटर पहुंचीं. लेकिन इस फिल्म का अंत देखकर वो अपनी भावनाओं पर काबू नहीं रख सकी और इतना रोई कि उसे अस्पताल में भर्ती करना पड़ा. बताया जा रहा है कि यह लड़की 'हाइपरवेंटिलेशन' (हाइपर्वन्टिलेशन) सिंड्रोम से पीड़ित थी. आइए जानते हैं आखिर क्या है यह बीमारी, लक्षण और बचाव का तरीका. हाइपरवेंटिलेशन एक ऐसी स्थिति है जिसमें व्यक्ति सामान्य समय की तुलना गहरी और तेज सांसे भरने और छोड़ने लगता है. यह किसी अटैक की तरह होता है. जिसमें व्यक्ति के ज्यादा सांस लेने की वजह से खून में से कार्बन डाइऑक्साइड का निष्कासन बढ़ जाता है. जिसकी वजह से रक्त में कार्बन डाइऑक्साइड का दबाव कम होने लगता है. यह स्थिति मस्तिष्क में रक्त की आपूर्ति करने वाली रक्त वाहिकाएं संकुचित करने लगती है. पुरुषों की तुलना में महिलाओं में और १५ से ५५ वर्ष की आयु के लोगों में यह समस्या ज्यादा देखी जाती है. चिंता ,घबराहट और अत्याधिक तनाव हाइपरवेंटिलेशन का सबसे आम कारण है. नींद की कमी-दिल का दौरा- इस स्थिति में व्यक्ति का दिल ऑक्सीजन युक्त रक्त को पंप नहीं कर पाता है. जो कि हाइपरवेंटिलेशन का कारण बनता है.फेफड़ों से जुड़ी बीमारी जैसे अस्थमा, क्रोनिक ऑब्सट्रक्टिव पल्मोनरी डिजीज (कॉपड), पल्मोनरी एम्बोलिज्म फेफड़ों की कुछ सामान्य बीमारियां हैं जो क्रोनिक हाइपरवेंटिलेशन का कारण बनती हैं. चक्कर आना, उंगलियां, हाथ और मुंह के आस-पास सुन्न महसूस करना, छाती में दर्द, घबराहट और सांस की तकलीफ, सांसों की कमी, सूजन और पेट फूलना,शारीरिक कमजोरी महसूस करना इस समस्या से पीड़ित व्यक्ति सबसे पहले अपनी सांसों को निंयत्रित करें. इसके लिए उसे हर ५ सेकंड में एक बार सांस लेने की कोशिश करनी चाहिए. इसके अलावा अपने होठों को ऐसे रखें जैसे कि आप सीटी बजा रहे हों. ऐसा करते हुए सांस लेने की कोशिश करें. तीसरा, अपनी नाक के एक छेद को बंद करके दूसरे नथुने से सांस लें. इन श्वास तकनीकों का उद्देश्य आपके रक्त में अधिक कार्बन डाइऑक्साइड का संचार करना है. बावजूद इसके अगर हाइपरवेंटिलेशन की स्थिति ३० मिनट तक बनी रहती है तो अपने डॉक्टर से संपर्क करें.

नई दिल्लीः पश्चिम बंगाल और दूसरे राज्यों में डाक्टरों की हड़ताल समाप्त हो जाने के तथ्य को ध्यान में रखते हुये सुप्रीम कोर्ट ने सरकारी अस्पतालों में चिकित्सकों की सुरक्षा के लिये दायर याचिका पर मंगलवार को सुनवाई स्थगित कर दी. न्यायमूर्ति दीपक गुप्ता और न्यायमूर्ति सूर्य कांत की अवकाश पीठ ने कहा कि वह नोटिस (केन्द्र को) जारी नहीं करेगी परंतु चिकित्सकों की सुरक्षा के व्यापक मुद्दे को विचार के लिये खुला रखेगा. पीठ ने कहा, हम याचिका पर आज सुनवाई के लिये सहमत हो गये थे क्योंकि पश्चिम बंगाल और दूसरे राज्यों में चिकित्सकों और उनकी मेडिकल बिरादरी ने हड़ताल कर रखी थी. चूंकि हड़ताल खत्म हो गयी है और ऐसा लगता है कि अब याचिका पर सुनवाई की जल्दी नहीं है. इसे (मामले को) उचित पीठ के समक्ष सूचीबद्ध किया जाये. इस बीच, इंडियन मेडिकल एसोसिएशन ने भी न्यायालय में दायर याचिका में पक्षकार बनने के लिये एक आवेदन दायर किया है. इस आवेदन में कहा गया है कि देश भर में चिकित्सकों को संरक्षण प्रदान किये जाने की आवश्यकता है. पीठ ने कहा कि चिकित्सकों को सुरक्षा प्रदान करने के मामले में समग्र दृष्टिकोण अपनाने की आवश्यकता है. पीठ ने कहा, हम समझते है. कि यह एक गंभीर विषय है लेकिन हम दूसरे नागरिकों की कीमत पर चिकित्सकों को संरक्षण नहीं दे सकते. हमें व्यापक दृष्टिकोण अपनाना होगा. हमें व्यापक परिप्रेक्ष्य को देखना होगा. हम चिकित्सकों को संरक्षण प्रदान करने के विरूद्ध नहीं है. पश्चिम बंगाल में चिकित्सकों ने हड़ताल कर रखी थी क्योंकि पिछले सप्ताह उनके दो सहयोगियों की एक मरीज के रिश्तेदारों ने कथित रूप से पिटाई की थी. इस मरीज की इलाज के दौरान मृत्यु हो गयी थी. चिकित्सकों ने राज्य की मुख्यमंत्री ममता बनर्जी के साथ बातचीत के बाद सोमवार की रात अपनी हड़ताल समाप्त कर दी. मुख्यमंत्री ने चिकित्सकों को आश्वासन दिया कि सरकार राज्य में सरकारी अस्पतालों में सुरक्षा व्यवस्था कड़ी करेगी. शीर्ष अदालत में शुक्रवार को दायर याचिका में देश में सभी सरकारी अस्प्तालों में चिकित्सकों की सुरक्षा सुनिश्चित करने के लिये पर्याप्त संख्या में सुरक्षाकर्मियों की तैनाती का केन्द्रीय गृह मंत्रालय और स्वास्थ्य मंत्रालय को निर्देश देने का अनुरोध किया गया था. याचिका में पश्चिम बंगाल सरकार को यह निर्देश देने का भी अनुरोध किया गया था कि कोलकाता के अस्पताल में दो जूनियर चिकित्सकों पर हमला करने वाले व्यक्तियों के खिलाफ कड़ी कार्रवाई की जाये. याचिका में इंडियन मेडिकल एसोसिएशन के आंकड़ों का हवाला देते हुये कहा गया था कि देश भर में ७५ प्रतिशत से अधिक चिकित्सकों को किसी न किसी तरह की हिंसा का सामना करना पड़ा है. याचिकहा मे कहा गया है कि एसोसिएशन के अध्ययन के अनुसार हिसा की ५० प्रतिशत घटनायें अस्पतालों के सघन चिकित्सका इकाईयों में हुयी हैं और ७० फीसदी मामलों में मरीजों के रिश्तेदार ऐसी घटनाओं में संलिप्त रहे हैं. यूपीः पति के सामने पत्नी से बदसलूकी कर वीडियो किया वायरल, पुलिस ने ४ को किया अरेस्ट

आम आदमी पार्टी और उसका इतिहास आम आदमी पार्टी (आप) पहली बार एक गैर राजनेता के द्वारा शुरू की गई थी , और इसका किसी भी उम्र के राजनीतिक दल के साथ कोई संबंध नहीं था। पार्टी के संस्थापक इंडिया अगेंस्ट करप्शन (इयाक) आंदोलन का एक हिस्सा थे, जिसका नेतृत्व अनुभवी कार्यकर्ता अन्ना हजारे ने किया था। भ्रष्टाचार विरोधी आंदोलन ने कार्यकर्ताओं को जन लोकपाल विधेयक के अधिनियमित के लिए प्रेरित किया, जिसमें लोक सेवकों के खिलाफ भ्रष्टाचार के मामलों की जांच और परीक्षण के प्रावधान थे। आंदोलन ने पूरे देश की सोच को एक नई दिशा दिया । लेकिन पूर्व आईआरएस अधिकारी अरविंद केजरीवाल और उनके तत्कालीन संरक्षक अन्ना हजारे के बीच राजनीतिक रूप से भ्रष्टाचार विरोधी आंदोलन चलाने पर मतभेद पैदा हो गए। जबकि अनुभवी गांधीवादी का मानना था कि उनके आंदोलन का राजनीतिकरण करने की आवश्यकता नहीं है, केजरीवाल के चाहने वालों को वांछित बदलाव लाने के लिए राजनीतिक प्रणाली का हिस्सा बनने की आवश्यकता महसूस हुई। इसलिए, उन्होंने सामाजिक आंदोलन से बाहर निकलकर २६ नवंबर, २०१२ को औपचारिक रूप से आप का शुभारंभ किया। इसे मार्च २०१३ में चुनाव आयोग से मान्यता मिली। आप ने भारतीय राजनीति का चेहरा बदल दिया जिससे आम आदमी को गेम चेंजर बनने की उम्मीद थी । पार्टी का नेतृत्व करते हुए, अरविंद केजरीवाल ने आम आदमी के लिए आम आदमी की लड़ाई को एक महत्वपूर्ण बिंदु में बदल दिया। २०१३ के दिल्ली विधानसभा चुनावों में ७० में से २८ सीटें जीतने के बाद आप ने राजनीतिक सर्किटों में धक्कामुक्की करते हुए सत्ता हासिल करने की ताकत के रूप में उभरी और भारतीय राष्ट्रीय कांग्रेस (इनक) से बाहरी समर्थन के साथ अपनी सरकार बनाई। २८ दिसंबर २०१३ को, पार्टी के संस्थापक अरविंद केजरीवाल ने नई दिल्ली के मुख्यमंत्री के रूप में शपथ ली। आप के संस्थापक नई दिल्ली के रामलीला मैदान, अन्ना हजारे के भ्रष्टाचार विरोधी आंदोलन के उपरिकेंद्र, ने २०११ में एक क्रांति की शुरुआत देखी। एक असामान्य शैली वाले एक आम आदमी ने सरकार को सिर पर लिया और एक अपरंपरागत राजनीतिक लड़ाई शुरू की। अरविंद केजरीवाल, पूर्व नौकरशाह, भारतीय प्रौद्योगिकी संस्थान (ईत), खड़गपुर से स्नातक हैं। उन्होंने सूचना का अधिकार अधिनियम (रती) लागू करने के अपने प्रयासों से कुछ स्तंभों को हिला देने से पहले उन्होंने भारतीय राजस्व सेवा (इर्स) की सेवा की। इमर्जेंट लीडरशिप के लिए रेमन मैगसेसे पुरस्कार के प्राप्तकर्ता, केजरीवाल ने नई दिल्ली विधानसभा चुनावों में अपनी सनसनीखेज शुरुआत में आप को एक फ्रिंज खिलाड़ी से विशालकाय हत्यारे में बदल दिया। हालाँकि, उनकी जीत को और अधिक मीठा बनाने वाला तथ्य यह है कि आप के निर्माण में केजरीवाल को सिर्फ एक साल लगा, और पूरे देश में अपनी उपस्थिति दर्ज कराई। आईआईटीयन ने दिग्गज कांग्रेसी राजनेता और तीन बार नई दिल्ली निर्वाचन क्षेत्र में दिल्ली की मुख्यमंत्री शीला दीक्षित को हराया। विधानसभा चुनाव के फैसले के बाद, केजरीवाल ने २८ दिसंबर, २०१३ को दिल्ली के मुख्यमंत्री के रूप में पदभार संभाला। हालांकि, उन्होंने ४९ दिन बाद इस्तीफा दे दिया जब कांग्रेस और भारतीय जनता पार्टी (भाजपा) ने उनके सामने प्रस्तावित जन लोकपाल बिल को रोक दिया। आप ने २०१४ के आम चुनावों को बड़े पैमाने पर लड़ने का फैसला किया। पार्टी प्रमुख अरविंद केजरीवाल ने नरेंद्र मोदी के खिलाफ चुनाव लड़ा यूपी के वाराणसी संसदीय क्षेत्र से भाजपा के प्रधानमंत्री पद के उम्मीदवार। लेकिन वह मोदी से बुरी तरह हार गए। अरविंद केजरीवाल द्वारा नेतृत्व की गई, आप की घटना ने कुछ ही समय में भारतीय राजनीतिक स्पेक्ट्रम पर कब्जा कर लिया। सोशल मीडिया के प्रभावी उपयोग और उच्च शिक्षित स्वयंसेवकों को शामिल करने के साथ, आप ने घर-घर जाकर प्रचार किया। आप की राजनीतिक मामलों की समिति में गोपाल राय, कुमार विश्वास, मनीष सिसोदिया, प्रशांत भूषण, संजय सिंह और योगेंद्र यादव शामिल थे। भारतीय राजनीति में इसकी शुरुआत ने विभिन्न क्षेत्रों से कई प्रमुख नामों को आकर्षित किया। कैप्टन गोपीनाथ, एयर डेक्कन के संस्थापक; मल्लिका साराभाई, प्रख्यात डैन्यूज़; मीरा सान्याल, रॉयल बैंक ऑफ स्कॉटलैंड-इंडिया की सीईओ; समीर नायर, स्टार टीवी के पूर्व सीईओ; वी बालकृष्णन, इंफोसिस बोर्ड के सदस्य; और कई और आप के साथ हाथ मिलाया। हालांकि उनमें से अधिकांश अब केजरीवाल के दिमाग की उपज के साथ नहीं हैं। किसी भी अन्य राजनीतिक मंच की तरह, आप के पास भी इन-फाइटिंग और अवनति का हिस्सा था। आंतरिक कलह से असंतुष्ट नेताओं ने अपने स्वयं के सदस्यों के साथ गलती खोजना शुरू कर दिया। हालांकि, आप राजनीतिक ताकत के रूप में बच गई है आप का चुनाव चिह्न अरविंद केजरीवाल और उनकी पार्टी ने भ्रष्टाचार के देश की सफाई का कठिन काम किया है। इस उद्देश्य के साथ, आप ने अपने आधिकारिक चुनाव चिन्ह के रूप में विनम्र झाड़ू को चुना। उनका नारा झाड़ू चललाओ, भीमना भगाओ (झाड़ू पोंछा, धोखा से छुटकारा) का उद्देश्य भारतीय राजनीतिक व्यवस्था को उसके भ्रष्ट राजनेताओं से बचाना है। पार्टी एक अधिक पारदर्शी प्रणाली के लिए लड़ रही है, जो देश को अपनी लोकतांत्रिक पहचान को पुनः प्राप्त करने में मदद करेगी। आप की उपलब्धियां नई दिल्ली में सत्ता में आने के बाद, पार्टी ने सब्सिडी के माध्यम से ४०० यूनिट तक बिजली के बिल को कम कर दिया। इसने घरों में पानी के मीटर (२० किलोलीटर तक) के लिए मुफ्त पानी उपलब्ध कराया। केजरीवाल सरकार ने बहु-खुदरा क्षेत्र में बहुप्रतीक्षित विदेशी प्रत्यक्ष निवेश (एफडीआई) को भी खत्म कर दिया। अपनी मूल दृष्टि से चिपके हुए, आप ने भ्रष्ट सरकारी अधिकारियों पर रिपोर्ट करने के लिए नागरिकों के लिए एक भ्रष्टाचार-विरोधी हेल्पलाइन की स्थापना की। आप की क्रांति आप की क्रांति (या आप की क्रांति) आम आदमी पार्टी (आप) द्वारा शुरू की गई एक परियोजना है जिसका उद्देश्य हर दरवाजे पर कदम रखना है। यह उस हिस्से का एक समाचार पत्र है, जो आप की विचारधाराओं के बारे में आम नागरिकों को सूचित करने और पार्टी की विभिन्न गतिविधियों के बारे में आम आदमी की विभिन्न गतिविधियों को सूचित करने के लिए प्रचार करने पर केंद्रित है। आप आप सदस्य गोपाल राय के सदस्यों में से एक की देखरेख में परियोजना का संचालन किया जा रहा है, जबकि एक अन्य पार्टी सदस्य दीपक पायलट परियोजना के पहलुओं के लिए प्रबंधन और टीम के विस्तार का काम देख रहे हैं। एक पाठक को सिर्फ रु। हर १५ दिनों में प्रकाशित होने वाले समाचार पत्र का एक मुद्दा रखने के लिए १०० सालाना। नागरिकों की किसी भी शिकायत को सिर्फ हेल्पलाइन नंबर ८५८८८३३५५० पर डायल करके पता किया जा सकता है। स्वराज की गांधीवादी अवधारणा को ध्यान में रखते हुए, इसने अपने मिशन के बयानों को व्यक्त करने का सार्वजनिक रास्ता अपनाया और शिकायतों को व्यक्तिगत रूप से सुनने के लिए सार्वजनिक बैठकों में व्यस्त रहा। सीएम के रूप में, केजरीवाल ने सरकारी अधिकारियों या मंत्रियों की कारों पर लाल बीकन पर प्रतिबंध लगाने के अलावा भारत में प्रचलित वीआईपी संस्कृति को समाप्त करने की मांग की, साथ ही उनके लिए विशेष विशेषाधिकार भी प्रदान किए। पार्टी ने एनसीआर में ऑटो रिक्शा के लिए ५,५00 नए परमिट जारी किए। दिल्ली विधानसभा चुनाव २०१५ में आम आदमी पार्टी जबकि पार्टी ने काफी सफलता हासिल की है, फिर भी आगे कई चुनौतियों का सामना करना पड़ रहा है। अभी इसका आर्थिक मॉडल तैयार नहीं किया गया है। इसके अलावा, यह देखते हुए कि पार्टी कांग्रेस और भाजपा के मजबूत प्रतिरोध से निपट रही है, जो केजरीवाल को भगोरा (सरकार चलाने की अपनी जिम्मेदारी से बच गए) के रूप में चित्रित करते हैं, यह देखना दिलचस्प होगा कि केजरीवाल कितने दूर हैं? सभी अंतर बना सकते हैं। पार्टी ने दिल्ली के सभी ७० विधानसभा क्षेत्रों में अपने उम्मीदवार खड़े किए हैं। पार्टी प्रमुख फिर से नई दिल्ली की सीट से कांग्रेस के किरण वालिया और भाजपा के नूपुर शर्मा के खिलाफ चुनाव लड़ रहे हैं। दिल्ली के लिए आम आदमी पार्टी (आप) का चुनाव घोषणापत्र २०१५ आम आदमी पार्टी (आप) ने २०१५ के दिल्ली विधानसभा चुनावों के लिए ३१ जनवरी २०१५ को अपना घोषणा पत्र जारी किया। घोषणापत्र ७० अंकों का ब्लू-प्रिंट है, जिसके बारे में माना जाता है कि यह दिल्ली को ग्लोबल सिटी में बदलने की क्षमता रखता है। इसे आप के दिल्ली डायलॉग्स (मोहल्ला सभाओं के दौरान लोगों के साथ बातचीत) के दौरान सामने आने वाले मुद्दों को ध्यान में रखकर तैयार किया गया था। घोषणापत्र मुख्य रूप से महिलाओं, युवाओं और ग्रामीण वोटों पर केंद्रित है। पार्टी ५० प्रतिशत की दर से बिजली उपलब्ध कराने और सभी को मुफ्त पानी देने के अपने चुनावी एजेंडे पर अड़ी हुई है। आप घोषणापत्र के कुछ प्रमुख बिंदु हैं: आप दिल्ली के लिए पूर्ण राज्यत्व पर जोर देगी। बिजली दरों को घटाकर आधा कर दिया जाएगा और सभी को स्वच्छ और मुफ्त पेयजल मुहैया कराया जाएगा। अगर सत्ता में वोट दिया जाता है, तो पार्टी लोगों को आठ लाख नई नौकरियां प्रदान करेगी। ३०,००० बेड शहर के विभिन्न अस्पतालों में जोड़े जाएंगे। दिल्ली में २० नए कॉलेज स्थापित किए जाएंगे। शहर में २०० नए स्कूल बनाए जाएंगे। जरूरतमंद छात्रों को एजुकेशन लोन मिलेगा। अपराध की घटनाओं पर नजर रखने के लिए बसों, भीड़-भाड़ वाले इलाकों और सार्वजनिक स्थानों पर हजारों सीसीटीवी कैमरे लगाए जाएंगे। आप सौर ऊर्जा जैसे ऊर्जा के अक्षय और वैकल्पिक स्रोतों के लिए एक चरणबद्ध बदलाव की सुविधा प्रदान करेगी। सीवर उपचार और नियंत्रण समृद्ध निर्वहन सहित यमुना को पुनर्जीवित करने के लिए कदम उठाए जाएंगे। दिल्ली में लगभग दो लाख सार्वजनिक शौचालय स्थापित किए जाएंगे। आप लोकसभा और विधानसभा चुनाव परिणाम
जब स्टीव वॉ ने की थी राहुल द्रविड़ की स्लेजिंग (फाइले फोटो) राहुल द्रविड़ ने इस मैच में १८० रनों की पारी खेली थी वीवीएस लक्ष्मण ने इस मैच मे २८१ रनों की पारी खेली थी राहुल-लक्ष्मण के बीच पांचवें विकेट के लिए ३७६ रनों की साझेदारी नई दिल्ली: भारत और ऑस्ट्रेलिया जब आमने-सामने होते हैं तो सिर्फ मैच नहीं होता बल्कि एक युद्ध के जैसा माहौल होता है. यूं तो भारत-ऑस्ट्रेलिया के बीच हुआ हर मैच रोमांचक रहा है, लेकिन २००१ में ऐसा ऐतिहासिक मैच खेला गया था, जिसकी यादें भारत और ऑस्ट्रेलिया दोनों की देशों के खिलाड़ियों और क्रिकेट फैन्स के जेहन में ताजा होंगी. १४ मार्च २००१... ईडन गार्डन का मैदान... भारत बनाम ऑस्ट्रेलिया... मैदान पर राहुल द्रविड़ और वीवीएस लक्ष्मण की शानदार बल्लेबाजी... और क्रिकेट इतिहास में यह खास दिन सुनहरे अक्षरों में दर्ज हो गया. वीवीएस लक्ष्मण और राहुल द्रविड़ ने यूं तो कई शानदार पारियां खेली हैं, लेकिन १४ मार्च २००१ को ईडन गार्डन में खेली पारी सुनहरे अक्षरों में दर्ज हो चुकी है. इसी पारी ने लक्ष्मण को वेरी वेरी स्पेशल और द्रविड़ को द वॉल का खिताब दिलवाया था. इस मैच की यादों को ताजा करते हुए १६ साल बाद राहुल द्रविड़ ने एक राज से पर्दा उठाया है. हाल ही में एक कार्यक्रम के दौरान राहुल द्रविड़ ने बताया कि २००१ के उस ऐतिहासिक ईडन गार्डन टेस्ट में किस तरह उन्होंने स्टीव वॉ की स्लेजिंग का सामना किया था. टीम इंडिया के पूर्व कप्तान राहुल द्रविड़ ने २००१ की बॉर्डर-गावस्कर टेस्ट सीरीज के दौरान ऑस्ट्रेलियाई खिलाड़ियों की स्लेजिंग की याद को साझा किया. उन्होंने बताया कि कैसे ऑस्ट्रेलियाई क्रिकेट टीम के कप्तान स्टीव वॉ की स्लेजिंग का सामना करते हुए उन्होंने बेहतरीन पारी खेली. द्रविड़ ने बताया, ''ईडन गार्डन में खेले जा रहे टेस्ट मैच में स्टीव वॉ उनकी जमकर स्लेजिंग कर रहे थे, लेकिन उनकी बयानबाजी से उन पर कोई असर नहीं पड़ा और वो विकेट पर टिके रहे और भारतीय टीम को एक यादगार टेस्ट जीत दिलाई.'' विडियो : जब ब्रेट ली के खतरनाक बाउंसर ने निकाला था द्रविड़ के कान से खून बेंगुलुरु में गो स्पोर्ट्स एथलीट के कार्यक्रम में द्रविड़ ने कहा, ''कोलकाता के उस ऐतिहासिक टेस्ट मैच में पहले तीन दिन ऑस्ट्रेलियाई टीम पूरी तरह से भारतीय टीम पर हावी थी. व्यक्तिगत तौर पर मेरा फॉर्म भी अच्छा नहीं था. मुंबई में खेले गए मैच में मैंने अच्छा प्रदर्शन नहीं किया था. यहां पर भी पहली पारी में मेरे बल्ले से रन नहीं निकले थे. यहां तक कि मुझे नंबर ६ पर बल्लेबाजी के लिए भेज दिया गया था.'' द्रविड़ ने बताया कि दूसरी पारी में जब मैं बल्लेबाजी के लिए मैदान पर उतरा तो स्टीव वॉ ने मेरी स्लेजिंग की और कहा, ''राहुल इस मैच में तुम्हे नंबर ६ पर बैटिंग के लिए भेजा गया है, अगले मैच में तुम्हारा क्या होगा, क्या तुम्हे नंबर १२ पर बल्लेबाजी के लिए भेजा जाएगा.'' राहुल द्रविड़ ने आगे कहा, ''मेरे लिए काफी अजीब बयान था क्योंकि मैं काफी निराश हो चुका था. मैं उस स्थिति में नहीं था जहां से आगे के बारे में कुछ भी सोच सकूं. क्रिकेट में एक समय पर सिर्फ एक ही गेंद पर ध्यान देना होता है और मैं बस वही कर रहा था.'' द्रविड़ ने कहा, ''मैंने सोचा कि देखता हूं मैं कितनी गेंदें खेल सकता हूं और इस तरह से मैं एक-एक गेंद खेलता गया और इस तरह मैंने एक बड़ी और यादगार पारी खेली.'' इस पारी ने ना केवल राहुल और लक्ष्मण को, बल्कि भारतीय क्रिकेट को भी नई पहचान दिलवाई. 'वेरी वेरी स्पेशल' लक्ष्मण की २००१ में अविजित मानी जाने वाली ऑस्ट्रेलियाई टीम के खिलाफ दूसरी पारी में बनाए २८१ रन बनाए थे. इसी मैच में 'द वॉल' राहुल द्रविड़ ने १८० रन बनाकर लक्ष्मण के साथ पांचवें विकेट के लिए ३७६ रनों की साझेदारी की थी. ऑस्ट्रेलियाई गेंदबाजों के सामने भारत के इन दोनों बेहतरीन बल्लेबाजों का कोई तोड़ नहीं था. सीरीज के इस दूसरे टेस्ट मैच में भारत को १७१ रनों से जीत मिली थी. ऑस्ट्रेलिया के खिलाफ दूसरे टेस्ट मैच के दौरान दूसरी पारी में जब सचिन जल्दी आउट हो गए, तब लोग स्टेडियम छोड़कर जाने लगे. लेकिन अगले दिन बड़ी संख्या में लोग वापस स्टेडियम पहुंचे, लोगों की यह वापसी सचिन के लिए नहीं, बल्कि वीवीएस लक्ष्मण और राहुल द्रविड़ के लिए थी. इस मैच में सचिन के आउट होने के बाद लक्ष्मण और गांगुली के आउट होने के बाद द्रविड़ मैदान पर उतरे और फिर हुआ ये चमत्कार. इस मैच में दोनों के बीच ३७६ रनों की साझेदारी हुई. द्रविड़ १८० रन बनाकर आउट हुए जबकि लक्ष्मण ने २८१ रन बनाए. भारत ने अपनी दूसरी पारी की घोषणा ६५७ रनों पर कर . इस तरह ऑस्ट्रेलिया के सामने ३८३ रन का लक्ष्य था. लक्ष्मण और द्रविड़ के बाद हरभजन सिंह ने अपना कमल दिखाया. उन्होंने ऑस्ट्रेलिया की दूसरी पारी के छह विकेट लेने में कामयाबी हासिल की और ऑस्ट्रेलिया की पूरी टीम सिर्फ २१२ रन पर ऑल आउट हो गई. इस तरह भारत ने इस मैच को १७१ रन से जीत लिया था.
फ़ुरसतिया: मिलो न तुम तो हम घबरायें मिलो तो आँख चुराएं, हमें क्या हो गया है। यह गाना बज रहा था आज जब हम पहुंचे 'पंकज टी स्टाल' पर। सुबह निकलते हुए आज साढ़े छह बज गए । साईकिल निकाली तो लगा पैसे नहीं रखे। देखा तो जेब छूँछी। सोचा ऐसे ही निकल लें। आज की चाय उधार रहेगी। फिर सोचा किसी की बोहनी का बखत होगा। सुबह की शुरुआत उधार से करना ठीक नहीं। साइकिल स्टैंड पर खड़ी की। कमरे पर गए। पैसे लिए। जेब में डाले फिर साईकल स्टार्ट की। निकलते ही सूरज भाई दिखे। सुबह की धूप हल्की थी। कोहरीली धूप। ऐसा लगा जैसे जाड़े में धूप की बढ़ी हुई मांग को सूरज भाई धूप में कोहरा मिलाकर पूरा कर रहे हों- जैसे गर्मी में दूध में पानी और त्यौहारो में खोये में मिलावट बढ़ जाती है। यह बात हमने सूरज भाई से कही तो वे हंसने लगे। किरणें भी खिलखिलाने लगीं। ऐसा लगा मानों मेरी शिकायत सुनते ही सूरज भाई ने मुझसे कहा हो-'अरे यार बाकियों की चिंता छोड़ । ये लो तुम्हारे लिए बढ़िया प्योर खिली हुई स्पेशल धूप।' सुनहरी , खिली हुई धूप और खिलखिलाती किरणों ने मुझे चुप कर दिया। हम और कुछ कह नहीं पाये। आगे चल दिए। मोड़ पर ही छट्ठू सिंह के साथी मिल गए। आज छट्ठू सिंह नहीं आये थे। दो दिन से तबियत ढीली है। हमने उनके साथियों से कहा-"आप लोग बाहर जाओ कहीँ घूमने के लिए। अच्छा लगेगा। क्या यहीं टहलते रहते हैं।" उन्होंने हामी भरी और फिर नमस्ते करके चले गए। सरिया लेकर टहलती बुजुर्ग महिला आज भी सरिया लिए टहल रहीं थी। अलबत्ता आज सरिया का मुड़ा हुआ हिस्सा सड़क की तरफ था। पहले दिन वह हाथ की तरफ था। बस स्टैंड पर लोग अपने बच्चों को स्कूल भेजने के लिए बस का इंतजार कर रहे थे। एक बच्ची एकदम सावधान मुद्रा में खड़ी किसी पतली सी किताब से कुछ पढ़ रही थी। तल्लीन थी पढ़ने में वह। शायद उसका कोई टेस्ट या इम्तहान हो। यह लगा 'पीके' फ़िल्म की तरह ऐसी सुविधाएं आने लगें कि बच्चे किताब का मसाला किताब छूकर ही दिमाग में डाउनलोड कर सकें। आगे एक बस रुकी। हार्न दिया। एक महिला लपकती हुई आई। साथ की बच्चे को बस में लपककर जमा सा करके नीचे से बस्ता उसको थमाया।बस स्टार्ट ही रही। बच्चे के जमा होते ही चल दी। महिला ने बच्चे को बस में बैठाने के पहले की हड़बड़ाहट चेहरे से पोंछ कर मुस्कराते हुए बच्चे को टाटा किया। बस जब दूर हो गयी तो उसने चेहरे की मुस्कान को भी समेट कर चेहरा सामान्य कर लिया। महिला को देर तक मुस्कराना शायद उसको फिजूलखर्ची लगा हो। शायद उसको लगता हो कि मुस्कान अनमोल है। फिजूल में खर्च नहीं करना चाहिये। पता नहीं कब किस गम को छिपाने के लिए जरूरत पढ़ जाए। वो गाना है न: तुम इतना क्यों मुस्करा रहे हो क्या गम है जो मुझसे छिपा रहे हो। पंकज टी स्टाल पर वही गाना बज रहा था जो ऊपर बताया: मिलो न तुम तो हम घबराएं चाय की दूकान पर दो चिलमची चिलम सुलगा रहे थे। एक ने माचिस की तीली सुलगाई। दूसरे ने नीचे झुककर आँख मूँदकर जल्दी-जल्दी सांस खींचकर चिलम सुलगाई। चिलम जब सुलग गयी तो जल्दी-जल्दी वाली साँस बन्द करके उसने चैन की सांस ली। थोड़ा सन्तोष भी मिला हुआ था चैन की सांस में कि जल्दी सुलग गयी चिलम। दोनों चिलमची काले कपड़े पहने हुए थे।नीचे बैठकर चिलम सुलगाते हुये व्यक्ति की मुद्रा कुछ वैसी ही थी जैसे प्रेमी अपनी प्रेमिका को शादी के लिए प्रस्ताव पेश करते समय झुकता है। चिलम सुलगते ही वे दोनों एक कोने में चले गए। इस बीच जीसीएफ फैक्ट्री में काम करने वाला एक स्टाफ वहां आ गया। फैक्ट्री के पुराने जीएम की बुराई कर रहा कि वो बहुत टाइट करके चले गए फैक्ट्री। अब भी वैसा ही हाल बना हुआ है। इत्ता टाइट थोड़ी करना चाहिए था। हर बात में सख्ती। फिर वह मुझसे पूछने लगा कि ये बताइये कि ३३ का क्या हो रहा है? मुझे कुछ समझ में नहीं आया तुरन्त। मैंने कहा-'देखो क्या होता है।' फिर वह सरकार पर अपनी नाराजगी उतारने लगा और बिना रुके कहता रहा: "इनकी बस मुंडी मटकती है, इसकी बुराई, उसकी बुराई। बोलना बहुत अच्छा आता है। जब आये थे तब बोले कि- ये विकास होगा होगा, वो नौकरी लगेगी। लेकिन हुआ कुछ नहीं। सब ऐसे ही खाईबाजी चल रही है। कहीं डिजिटल इण्डिया, कहीं स्वच्छ भारत। कीमत पर कोई कंट्रोल नहीं। मास्टर ५००० में काम कर रहा है। न बच्चे हैं न कुछ। न सरकारी स्कूल हैं न डॉक्टर। ऐसे ही पांच साल निकाल देंगे। फिर कहेंगे पांच साल और चाहिये। हमें यह लगता है कि कहीं अपनी फैक्ट्रियों को भी न सड़क पर ला दें। बीएसएनएल को बर्बाद कर ही दिया। प्रमोद महाजन ने किया था। बिहार में जीते तो ३३ साल कर देंगे।" ३३ से मुझे याद आया कि उनकी नाराजगी का कारण वह सम्भावित योजना है जिसके अनुसार कोई भी व्यक्ति सरकार की नौकरी से ३३ साल की नौकरी या फिर ६० साल की उम्र में से जो पहले होगा सेवा से रिटायर हो जायेगा। इन भाई साहब के ३५ साल नौकरी के हो चुके हैं। ५ साल अभी भी बाकी हैं। मतलब २० साल की उम्र में आये थे नौकरी में। यही इनके लिए चिंता का विषय है कि सेवा अवधि ३३ साल की हो जायेगी तो फौरन पेंशन पेपर थमा दिए जाएंगे। अपनी चिंता को विस्तार देते हुए उन्होंने बताया कि पहले १९-२० साल की नौकरी में आ जाते थे लोग। आज अगर ३३/६० लागू होगा तो ५०० से १००० लोग हर फैक्ट्री से बाहर हो जाएंगे। मेरा मन हुआ कहें कि नए लड़कों की नौकरी मिलेगी भी तो। लेकिन फिर कहा नहीं। वह भी ड्यूटी जाने की जल्दी में था। चला गया। इस बीच तीन बच्चे मेरी बगल में आकर बैठ गए। बात की तो पता चला कि उनके दादा जीसीएफ में काम करते हैं। पिता प्राइवेट काम करते हैं। क्या करते हैं बच्चों को पता नहीं। बच्ची ५ में पढ़ती है, बच्चे २ में। आज स्कूल नहीं गए। गाँव जाना है।कुछ काम है। मम्मी के साथ जाएंगे। बिहार के हसनपुर में गाँव है। बच्चे बड़े प्यारे लग रहे थे। छोटे बच्चे के गाल का एक हिस्सा कुछ गुलाबी रंगत लिए बहुत प्यारा लग रहा था। मैंने फोटो के लिए पूछा तो पहले तो मना कर दिया बच्ची ने। पर बातचीत के बाद दुबारा पूछा तो कहा- ले लीजिये। फोटो दिखाई तो खुश हुए बच्चे। लौटते में दीपा को देखने गए। उसके हाथ में चोट लगी दिखी। बताया-खेलते में गिर गयी थी। चोट हल्की ही थी पर कोई दवाई न लगाने से बढ़ गयी थी। हल्का सा मवाद भी आ रहा था। हमने उसके पिता से पूछा कि इसको दवा क्यों नहीं लगवाई तो बोला- 'कल जाएंगे।आधार कार्ड भी बनवा लेंगे।' हमें लगा कि यह हाल हैं अपने समाज में स्वास्थ्य सुविधाओं के कि एक साधारण खरोंच तक के लिए लोग दवा नहीं लेते या ले पाते। स्कूल में भी प्राथमिक चिकित्सा की कोई सुविधा होती तो चोट अब तक ठीक हो जाती। उसके स्कूल का समय हो रहा था। इसलिए यह सोचकर कि शाम को उसको अस्पताल से पट्टी करवा देंगे हम चले आये वापस। चलने से पहले दीपा का एक फोटो लिया तो दीपा ने कहा -'हम शेरू का फोटो लेंगें।' लिया उसने और खुश हुई कि अच्छा आया। क्रासिंग बन्द थी। हमने खुलने का इंतजार करते हुए वहीं साइकिल पर बैठे-खड़े पोस्ट का शुरूआती हिस्सा टाइप किया। डबल क्रास था। दोनों ट्रेने निकल गयीं तब फाटक खुला। हम वापस कमरे पर आये। चाय पीते हुए पोस्ट लिखी। अब जा रहे हैं फैक्ट्री के लिए। आज गुणवत्ता माह की शुरुआत है। सबको मुबारक हो। आपका दिन मंगलमय हो शुभ हो।
लेटेक्स एलर्जी क्या है? प्राकृतिक रूप से मिलने वाली लेटेक्स रबड़ (रबड़ के पेड़ से मिलने वाला एक उत्पाद) में मौजूद कुछ प्रोटीन के प्रति होने वाली प्रतिक्रिया को लेटेक्स एलर्जी कहते हैं। इसके संपर्क में आने से कुछ लोगों को एलर्जी हो सकती है। रबड़ के दस्ताने व अन्य उत्पादों जैसे कंडोम या मेडिकल उपकरणों से भी ये एलर्जी हो सकती है। इससे प्रभावित व्यक्ति में त्वचा पर खुजली जैसे लक्षण दिख सकते हैं, इस स्थिति में गले में सूजन और सांस लेने में दिक्कत भी हो सकती है। डॉक्टर इन लक्षणों के आधार पर यह निर्धारित करते हैं कि व्यक्ति को लेटेक्स एलर्जी है या नहीं या फिर इसके होने की कितनी संभावना है। एलर्जी के लक्षणों को समझ कर और लेटेक्स के स्रोतों के बारे में जानकर इस स्थिति से बचा जा सकता है। लेटेक्स एलर्जी के लक्षण सामान्य से लेकर गंभीर हो सकते हैं। यह इस बात पर निर्भर करता है कि व्यक्ति के शरीर में लेटेक्स सांस के जरिए पहुंचा है या फिर किसी चीज को छूने से हुआ है। यदि लेटेक्स एलर्जी का समय पर उपचार नहीं किया जाए, तो यह स्थिति समय के साथ बदतर हो सकती है। इसके सामान्य लक्षणों में शामिल हैं: पित्ती या दाने गंभीर लक्षणों में शामिल हैं: आंखों में खुजली व आंखों से पानी आना लेटेक्स एलर्जी के कारण सीधे संपर्क में आने से: यदि कोई व्यक्ति लेटेक्स एलर्जी से ग्रस्त है, तो संभव है कि उसे ये बीमारी लेटेक्स रबड़ से बने उत्पादों जैसे दस्ताने, गुब्बारे को छूने के बाद हुई हो। सांस के माध्यम से: जब कोई व्यक्ति लेटेक्स से बने दस्तानों को अपने हाथ से निकालता है या लेटेक्स को हवा में रगड़ता है, तो वातावरण में लेटेक्स के अति सूक्ष्म कण मिल जाते हैं, जोकि सांस के माध्यम से शरीर के अंदर पहुंच जाते हैं। लेटेक्स एलर्जी का इलाज डॉक्टरों का मानना है कि लेटेक्स एलर्जी के लक्षणों को एंटी-हिस्टामिनन (एलर्जी रोकने वाले) या कॉर्टिकोस्टेरॉइड दवाओं (सूजन, लालिमा, एलर्जी और खुजली कम करने वाली) के जरिए नियंत्रित किया जा सकता है। यदि लक्षण गंभीर हैं तो ऐसी स्थिति में एपिनेफ्रीन आईवी फ्लूइड्स (नस के जरिए ड्रिप से फ्लूइड चढ़ाना) जैसी दवाएं व अन्य इमरजेंसी मेडिकल केयर की आवश्यकता पड़ सकती है। डॉक्टर की सलाह पर प्रभावित व्यक्ति को एपिनेफ्रीन (एलर्जी रोकने वाली) के दो शॉट्स (इंजेक्शन) लेने पड़ सकते हैं। लेटेक्स एलर्जी के डॉक्टर शहर के एलर्जिस्ट / इम्यूनोलॉजिस्ट खोजें

नए कानूनों के तहत विमान अपहरणकर्ता को मिलेगा मृत्युदंड नई दिल्ली, इंडियन एयरलाइंस के एक विमान का अपहरण करके कंधार ले जाने के करीब १६ वर्ष बाद केन्द्रीय मत्रिमंडल की स्वीकृति के लिये जल्द ही एक ऐसे विधेयक को पेश किया जायेगा जिसमें अपहरणकर्त्ता विमानस्थल पर किसी कर्मचारी को भी जानमाल का नुकसान पहुचाता है तो उसे मृत्युदंड देने का प्रावधान किया गया है ।इससे पहले के विधेयक में विमान अपहरणकर्त्ता को बंधकों: विमान यात्री और विमान क्रू:विमान चालक दल के सदस्य और सुरक्षा कर्मियों के मारे जाने की स्थिति में अपहरणकर्त्ता को मृत्युदंड देने का प्रावधान था । संशोधित विधेयक विमान अपरहण की आतंकी जैसे घटनाओं से निबटने के लिये विश्व में कठोर कानूनों में से एक होगा । इस विधेयक के जरिये सरकार विमान अपहरण जैसी घटनाओं के दौरान विमानस्थल के कर्मचारियों, हवाई अड्डे के कर्मचारी और अन्य के मारे पर अपहरणकर्त्ता को मृत्युदंड की सजा दिला सकेगी ।नागर विमानन मंत्रालय के सूत्रों के अनुसार एंटी हाइजेकिंग संशोधन विधेयक में उक्त बदलाव करके उसे और विचार विमर्श करने के लिये कानून एवं न्याय मंत्रालय को भेजा गया है । कानून एवं न्याय मंत्रालय से विधेयक वापस आने के बाद इसे स्वीकृति के लिये केन्द्रीय मंत्रिमंडल के पास भेजा जायेगा।मंत्रालय के एक वरिष्ठ अधिकारी ने बताया, विधेयक को पिछले साल दिसंबर में पेश करने के बाद इसे मंत्रालय से संबंधित संसद की स्थायी समिति के पास भेज दिया गया था। अब समिति की सिफारिशों को इस विधेयक में शामिल कर लिया गया है। हमारे यहां पर विमान अपहरणकर्त्ताओं से निबटने के लिये विश्व का सबसे कठोर कानून होगा जिसमें ऐसी घटना के दौरान ग्राउंड पर भी किसी की भी दुर्घटना होने की स्थिति पर उसे मृत्युदंड दिये जाने का प्रावधान किया गया है ।नागर विमानन मंत्री अशोक गजपति राजू ने पिछले साल संसद में एंटी हाइजेकिंगःसंशोधनः विधेयक २०१४ को पेश किया था । विघेयक में विमान अपहरणकर्त्ता के लिये मृत्युदंड और ऐसी राष्ट्र विरोधी ताकतों के साथ सांठगांठ करने वाले व्यक्तियों के लिये कठोर सजा का प्रावधान था। अपहरणकर्त्ताओं के साथ साजिश करने वाले व्यैक्तिक के दायरे को शामिल करके अपहरण की परिभाषा को व्यापक बनाया गया है।मंत्रालय के एक अन्य अधिकारी ने बताया कि एक बार नया कानून अमल में आ गया तो अपहरणकर्त्ता को मृत्युदंड दिया जा सकेगा और कठोर दंड़ को स्पष्ट किया गया है। उन्होंने कहा कि मौजूदा नियमों में अपहरणकर्त्ता को अधिकतम सजा आजीवन कारावास और जुर्माना का प्रावधान है। यह बदलाव अंतररष्ट्रीय नागर विमानन संगठन के बीजिंग प्रोटोकॉल के अनुरूप है जिसे अंतरराष्ट्रीय प्रस्तावों के अनुसार भारतीय कानून में सुधार किया गया है।अधिकारी ने कहा, मौजूदा कानून के तहत अगर मानव बम का उपयोग किया जाता है और घटना में इसमें शामिल अपराधी मारा जाता है तो इसकी योजना को अंजाम देने वाले शामिल के खिलाफ कोई कार्रवाई नहीं की जा सकती। नये कानून में इनके खिलाफ कार्रवाई करने और अपहरणकर्त्ता की संपत्ति जब्त करने का भी प्रावधान है। प्रस्तावित कानून में सुरक्षा बलों को विमान को गतिहीन करने और उसे उडने से रोक देने का भी अधिकार प्राप्त होगा। अपहृत विमान को रोककर उसके नीचे उतरने के मजबूर करने के लिये भारतीय वायु सेना अपने लडाकू विमान को भेज सकेगी। इसके अलावा सुरक्षा बलों के पास यह भी अधिकार होगा कि वे अपने महत्वपूर्ण ठिकाने से मिसाइल का उपयोग करके विमान को मार गिरा सकते है। एंटी हाइजेकिंग:संशोधनः विधेयक को २०१० में राज्यसभा में १९८२ के कानून को निरस्त करने के लिये पेश किया गया था। तत्कालीन पूर्व प्रधानमंत्री डॉ मनमोहन सिंह ने विधेयक को मार्च २०१० में मंजूरी दी थी। इसके बाद इसे संसद की स्थाई समिति के पास भेज दिया गया था। समिति ने उसी अक्तूबर में अपनी रिपोर्ट सौंपी था टैग्स: नए कानूनों के तहत विमान अपहरणकर्ता को मिलेगा मृत्युदंड: नए कानूनों, मृत्युदंड, विमान अपहरणकर्ता नेक्स्ट विधायक को कांग्रेस पार्टी से निष्कासन पर न्यायालय का स्थगनादेश

क्षुद्रग्रह और धूमकेतु के बीच का अंतर आज मुझे एक क्षुद्रग्रह और धूमकेतु के बीच का अंतर पता चला। एक धूमकेतु बस एक अपेक्षाकृत छोटी खगोलीय वस्तु है जिसमें एक "पूंछ" होती है, जिसे कोमा कहा जाता है, जो धूमकेतु के लिए एक अस्थायी वातावरण बनाता है। दूसरी तरफ, क्षुद्रग्रह इस पूंछ को प्रदर्शित नहीं करते हैं और उन्हें केवल एक खगोलीय वस्तु के रूप में परिभाषित किया जाता है जो सूर्य के चारों ओर कक्षाओं में होता है, लेकिन यह ग्रह या धूमकेतु नहीं है। एक धूमकेतु की पूंछ सूर्य से बना है जिसमें धूमकेतु के विभिन्न पदार्थों को गर्म किया जाता है, जैसे बर्फ के रूप में पानी, अंतरिक्ष के निर्वात में उबलते बिंदु स्तर से परे। इन वाष्पीकृत पदार्थों को तब धूमकेतु से निकाल दिया जाता है और पूंछ बनाते हुए सौर हवाओं से निकलते हैं। यही कारण है कि धूमकेतु की पूंछ हमेशा धूमकेतु की स्थिति के सापेक्ष सूर्य से दूर होती है, और अक्सर अंतरिक्ष के माध्यम से अपने वेक्टर के सापेक्ष धूमकेतु के पीछे चित्रित नहीं होती है। इन पूंछों ने इस धारणा को जन्म दिया कि धूमकेतु बर्फ में एम्बेडेड विभिन्न कणों के साथ कुछ अपेक्षाकृत छोटे कोर के आस-पास बर्फ के बने होते थे। दूसरी तरफ, क्षुद्रग्रहों को आम तौर पर धातुओं और विभिन्न प्रकार के चट्टानों के रूप में माना जाता है जो सूर्य के करीब पर्याप्त रूप से बने होते हैं कि अधिकांश बर्फ या अन्य अपेक्षाकृत आसानी से वाष्पीकृत सामग्री को लंबे समय से निष्कासित कर दिया गया है। हालांकि, पिछले एक दशक में, यह पाया गया है कि, वास्तव में, यह हमेशा मामला नहीं है और क्षुद्रग्रह और धूमकेतु का मेकअप वास्तव में इतना अलग नहीं है, हालांकि धूमकेतु में आमतौर पर अधिक बर्फ होता है, धन्यवाद प्रारंभ में "बर्फ क्षेत्र" से परे गठित किया जा रहा है। इस और अन्य चीजों का अध्ययन करने के लिए, २००१ में, नासा की दीप स्पेस १ टीम ने पाया कि धूमकेतु की सतह बोरेलली बर्फ से बना नहीं थी, बल्कि, बहुत गर्म और पूरी तरह सूखी थी, बिना पानी या बर्फ के, बहुत से लोग क्षुद्रग्रहों। बेशक, वस्तु एक पूंछ का प्रदर्शन कर रही थी, इसलिए यह ज्ञात था कि कहीं कहीं अपेक्षाकृत आसानी से वाष्पीकृत पदार्थ होना चाहिए था। तो, इस बिंदु पर सिद्धांत यह था कि बर्फ सतह से नीचे होना चाहिए या बर्फ की परत को कवर करने वाला कुछ प्रकार का मामला था, अनिवार्य रूप से बर्फ को देखने योग्य होने से रोक रहा था। धूमकेतु टेम्पल १ पर २००५ में आगे का शोध किया गया था। इस मामले में, उन्होंने इन धूमकेतुओं को देखने के लिए इस धूमकेतु में एक क्रेटर को विस्फोट करने की जांच की थी। उन्होंने जो पाया वह यह था कि उपर्युक्त सिद्धांत सही था और बर्फ सतह के नीचे केंद्रित है। वहां से, एक विशिष्ट क्षुद्रग्रह और धूमकेतु के बीच भेद अधिक हो जाता है क्योंकि कुछ क्षुद्रग्रहों को भी उनकी सतह के नीचे बर्फ के रूप में पानी की महत्वपूर्ण मात्रा में माना जाता है। इसके अलावा, हाल की खोजों से पता चला है कि धूमकेतु की धूल मेकअप में क्षुद्रग्रह धूल के बहुत करीब दिखती है, पूर्व सिद्धांतों के विपरीत, यह सुझाव देती है कि वे एक ही चीजों से बने होते हैं, सिमेट पर अभी भी बर्फ की संभावित बड़ी मात्रा को छोड़कर। तो हम एक बार फिर मुख्य अंतर पर वापस आते हैं, बस यह है कि धूमकेतु में अभी भी पर्याप्त आसानी से वाष्पीकरण योग्य सामग्री है, मुख्य रूप से पानी, जब वे हमारे सौर मंडल के भीतरी हिस्से में आते हैं, तो बर्फ के रूप में कुछ पानी पिघल जाता है और निष्कासित कर दिया जाता है , उन्हें अच्छा "पूंछ" दे रहा है। आखिरकार, सभी पानी और अन्य आसानी से वाष्पीकृत सामग्री को धूमकेतु से बाहर निकाला जाएगा, जो तब क्षुद्रग्रह बन जाता है। २००६ में कुछ क्षुद्रग्रहों, धूमकेतु, छोटे ग्रह आदि को कॉल करने के संदर्भ में, इन विभिन्न वस्तुओं के मेकअप के बारे में अधिक जानने के लिए नामांकन समस्याओं में से कुछ पाने के लिए, "छोटे सौर मंडल निकाय" छोटे ग्रहों, धूमकेतु, क्षुद्रग्रहों, और इसी तरह की अपेक्षाकृत छोटी खगोलीय वस्तु को संदर्भित करने के लिए अपनाया गया। क्षुद्रग्रहों और धूमकेतुओं के बीच एक और भेद यह था कि धूमकेतु क्षुद्रग्रहों की तुलना में काफी अधिक कक्षाएं हैं, जिनमें से कुछ चौंकाने वाली ५०,००० खगोलीय इकाइयों (एक एयू पृथ्वी और सूर्य के बीच की दूरी) से अधिक दूरी पर कक्षा में जाने जाते हैं। हालांकि, अल्पकालिक वस्तुओं की कक्षाएं हैं जो हमारे सौर मंडल में किसी भी ग्रह के मुकाबले कक्षाओं से अधिक दूरी पर नहीं हैं, जिन्हें धूमकेतु माना जाता है, और ऐसे कुछ क्षुद्रग्रह हैं जिनमें इनमें से कुछ शॉर्ट टर्म धूमकेतु की तुलना में बड़ी कक्षाएं हैं (इन्हें शायद कम धूमकेतु)। धूमकेतु भी हाल ही में पाए गए हैं कि हमारे सौर मंडल के क्षुद्रग्रह बेल्ट के भीतर अधिकतर परिपत्र कक्षाओं में कक्षा; इसलिए, इन विशेष मामलों में अस्पष्टता के कारण इस विशेष भेद को क्यों छोड़ना शुरू कर दिया गया है। एक धूमकेतु बनाम एक क्षुद्रग्रह की "पूंछ" परिभाषा का उपयोग करते हुए, केवल ४००० ज्ञात धूमकेतु बनाम लाखों क्षुद्रग्रहों की सूची बनाई गई है जिन्हें सूचीबद्ध किया गया है। हमारे सौर मंडल के विकास में बहुत पहले, धूमकेतु की संख्या शायद काफी अधिक हो गई है, आजकल कई क्षुद्रग्रहों ने पूंछ परिभाषा के आधार पर धूमकेतु बनाये हैं। सबसे बड़ा ज्ञात क्षुद्रग्रह सेरेस है, जो लगभग ६०० मील व्यास है, जबकि सबसे छोटे अस्थिर क्षुद्रग्रह व्यास में केवल गज की दूरी पर हैं। "धूमकेतु" लैटिन "धूमकेतु" से आता है, जो बदले में ग्रीक "कोमेट्स" से आता है, जिसका अर्थ है "लंबे बालों वाले"। यह बदले में ग्रीक "कौन", "काउंटिंग" ("बालों के साथ सितारों") के व्युत्पन्न का उपयोग करके अरिस्टोटल से आता है, जो अंत में लैटिन में "कोमेट्स" (लंबे बालों वाले) और फिर "धूमकेतु" के रूप में आया था, और अंत में अंग्रेजी में "धूमकेतु"। पूरे रिकॉर्ड इतिहास में धूमकेतु मनाए गए हैं। हाल ही में आखिरी दो शताब्दियों तक उन्हें लगभग सार्वभौमिक रूप से बेहद बुरे ओमन्स माना जाता था। हैली का धूमकेतु २४० ईसा पूर्व तक देखा गया है, हालांकि १८ वीं शताब्दी तक यह नहीं था कि एडमंड हैली के नाम से एक व्यक्ति को एहसास हुआ कि यह एक धूमकेतु वही था जो सदियों से नियमित समय अंतराल में दिखाई दे रहा था । हैली का धूमकेतु अगले रुचि के लिए २०६१ के मध्य में दिखाई देगा। एक धूमकेतु का कोमा सूर्य के व्यास से बड़ा हो सकता है और पूंछ का आयनिक भाग १ एयू से अधिक हो सकता है। जब एक धूमकेतु कक्षीय क्षेत्र सूर्य के चारों ओर पृथ्वी की कक्षा के साथ छेड़छाड़ करता है, तो एक उल्का शॉवर परिणामस्वरूप होती है, धूमकेतु से निकाले गए कणों के लिए धन्यवाद। इनमें शामिल हैं: जब पृथ्वी स्विफ्ट-टटल धूमकेतु कक्षीय क्षेत्र से गुज़रती है, जो हर साल ९ अगस्त से १३ अगस्त तक और अक्टूबर में होती है, जब पृथ्वी हैली के धूमकेतु की कक्षा से गुज़रती है। वर्तमान में लगभग ७००० ज्ञात क्षुद्रग्रह हैं जो पृथ्वी की कक्षा के बहुत करीब हैं, जिनमें से लगभग एक हजार एक किलोमीटर से बड़ा है। संदर्भ के लिए, एक उल्का जो व्यास में केवल ५-१० मीटर है जो पृथ्वी पर हिट करता है, जो प्रति वर्ष एक बार होता है, एक विस्फोट बनाता है जो हिरोशिमा (लगभग 1५ किलो टन टीएनटी) पर बम के बराबर है, लेकिन इसके बराबर है, लेकिन बेशक, विकिरण की समस्या के बिना। हमारे लिए भाग्यशाली, ये पृथ्वी के वायुमंडल में उच्च विस्फोट करते हैं, और, उनके द्वारा जारी की जाने वाली भारी मात्रा में ऊर्जा के कारण, अधिकांश मामलों का वाष्पीकरण होता है। प्रत्येक दो मिलियन वर्ष, उपरोक्त १ किलोमीटर या अधिक आकार के उल्काओं की तरह वस्तुएं पृथ्वी पर आती हैं और ५ किलोमीटर या उससे अधिक के बड़े लोगों को हर दस या दस लाख वर्षों में पृथ्वी पर मारा जाता है। वे विस्फोट स्पष्ट रूप से बहुत अधिक हैं, और अधिक विनाशकारी वैश्विक प्रभाव है। हमारी जल्द से जल्द कुछ संभावित, अपेक्षाकृत बोलने, एक क्षुद्रग्रह से प्रभाव १६ मार्च, २८८० के आसपास आएगा जिसमें ३०० में से १ की संभावना है कि यह पृथ्वी पर हमला करेगा। क्षुद्रग्रह को केवल २ ९ ०७५ लेबल किया गया है और आकार में लगभग एक किलोमीटर है। अपेक्षाकृत कम द्रव्यमान के कारण, कई धूमकेतु और क्षुद्रग्रह अनियमित रूप से आकार के होते हैं, गोलाकार आकार की वस्तुओं जैसे गोलाकार, जो गुरुत्वाकर्षण शक्तियों के लिए धन्यवाद हैं। धूमकेतु की पूंछ का नीला-आश रंग इलेक्ट्रॉनों द्वारा बनाया जाता है जो धूमकेतु से निकाले गए गैसों से अलग हो जाते हैं। यह आम तौर पर मानव आंखों द्वारा देखने योग्य नहीं है। आम तौर पर मानव आंख क्या देख रही है धूल का निशान है। एमिनो एसिड, जीवन के निर्माण खंड, धूमकेतु, विशेष रूप से, एमिनो एसिड ग्लाइसीन पर पाए गए हैं। नासा के स्टारडस्ट मिशन के लिए धन्यवाद।

कश्मीर में परंपराओं को तोड़कर नए सपने बुनती क्रिकेट कोच सकीना अख्तर - थे शियासत डेली कश्मीर में परंपराओं को तोड़कर नए सपने बुनती क्रिकेट कोच सकीना अख्तर श्रीनगर: सकीना अख्तर एक ऐसी लड़की जो रिवायत पसंद है, वह सपने देखती है, सपना है भारत के लिए क्रिकेट खेलना। जब उन्होंने यह सपना देखा था तो उनके घर में ही उनका समर्थन करने वाला कोई नहीं था। वह अपनी पसंद के अनुसार आगे बढ़ने में असमर्थ थीं। एक दिन फैसला लिया कि उन्हें किसी हर हल में आगे बढना है। उनके सामने कई सारे मुद्दे थे। इन सबका सामना करते हुए उन्होंने कश्मीर विश्वविद्यालय तक की मंजिल तय की। यहां पिछले ८ वर्षों से वह क्रिकेट ट्रेनर हैं। सकीना ने अपनी मेहनत और जिम्मेदारी से कई स्टार खिलाड़ियों को तैयार करने का कारनामा किया है। योर स्टोरी डॉट कॉम के अनुसार श्रीनगर में मनव्वरबाद से संबंध रखने वाली सकीना के दिल में बस एक ही सपना था, हर समय वह क्रिकेट के बारे में ही सोचती रहती। इसके अलावा उनके मन में कोई दूसरा विचार जगह ही नहीं पाता। आज वह कश्मीर में अकेली महिला क्रिकेट ट्रेनर हैं और १९ साल से कम उम्र की टीम को प्रशिक्षण देती हैं। सकीना बताती हैं, कि जब मैं छोटी थी, लड़कों के साथ ही क्रिकेट खेला करती था। उनके साथ ही मैंने क्रिकेट के बारे में जाना। सकीना जब बच्ची थी और प्राथमिक स्कूल में पढ़ती थी, तब तक तो सब कुछ ठीक चल रहा था। इस समय उनके क्रिकेट खेलने पर किसी को आपत्ति नहीं था, लेकिन जब वह मिडिल स्कूल में गईं तो उनका क्रिकेट खेलना बंद हो गया। क्योंकि उस समय उनका क्रिकेट खेलना किसी को भाता नहीं था। कुछ दिन तो ऐसे ही चलता रहा, लेकिन कहते हैं न कि जहां चाह होती है, वहां राह निकल ही आती है। स्कूल की क्रिकेट टीम में उन्हें जगह मिल ही गई। १९९८ में उन्होंने जिला और फिर स्टेट क्रिकेट एसोसिएशन में उनके खेल का जिक्र होने लगा। १९९८ में सकीना को एक खिलाड़ी के रूप में महत्वपूर्ण सफलता मिली जब अंडर १९ में उन्हें खेलने का मौका मिला। उन्हें बेस्ट प्रदर्शन अवार्ड भी मिला। श्रीनगर में जब वीमेंस कॉलेज में प्रवेश हुआ तो कई बार क्लास छोड़कर उन्होंने क्रिकेट के मैदान पर खूब ध्यान दिया और अपने आप को खेल के लिए तैयार किया। वह बताती हैं, कि जब घर के लोगों ने देखा कि मेरा शौक कम नहीं हो रहा है तो घर से भी प्रेरित होने लगी। लेकिन मेरा खुद अपने खेल पर ध्यान देना जरूरी था। घर के लोगों ने भी यही कहा कि खेलना है तो खेल पर अधिक ध्यान दें। कॉलेज से निकलने के बाद जब वह युनिवेर्सिटी में आईं तो उनके सामने अपना लक्ष्य था। कश्मीर युनिवेर्सिटी में पहले सेमेस्टर के बाद ही उन्होंने शिक्षा अधूरी छोड़ कर वह दिल्ली के लिए रवाना हो गईं। यहां उन्होंने बीसीसीआई का ए स्टैण्डर्ड का परीक्षा में सफलता प्राप्त किया। इस परीक्षा के बाद उन्हें कश्मीर स्पोर्ट्स परिषद में काम करने का मौका मिला। युवाओं के कई क्रिकेट शिविर आयोजित किए। वह बताते हैं।

महादेव के घर में बृहस्पति को स्थान वाराणसी में दशाश्मेध घाट मार्ग और बाबा विश्वनाथ के निकट ही स्थित है गुरु मंदिर। बताते हैं कि ये मंदिर अति प्राचीन है। इसके महात्मय के चलते इस वृहस्पति मंदिर भक्तों का ताता लगा रहता है। काशी शिवशंकर का निवास स्थान बताया जाता है और वहीं पर बृहस्पति गुरू के मंदिर को भी स्थापित किया गया था। ये मंदिर काशी के सभी मंदिरों से सर्वोच्च स्थान पर स्थापित है। स्वयं शिव ने दिया स्थान स्थानीय जानकारों की मानें तो पौराणिक कथा है कि जब महादेव ने काशी को अपनी राजधानी बनाया तब अनेक देवता भी यहां वास करने की इच्छा जताने लगे। सभी ने महादेव से अपने लिए स्थान का अनुरोध किया। तब भोलेनाथ ने निश्चय किया कि वे भगवान वृहस्पति को जो सभी देवों के गुरु है, को अपने निकट स्थान देंगे। महादेव ने काशी विश्वनाथ मंदिर से कुछ ही दूर पर उनको स्थान देने का निर्णय करते हुए उन्हें देवों में सर्वोच्च मानकर और नौ ग्रहों में सर्वश्रेष्ठ होने के चलते उनका मंदिर सभी से ऊंचा बनवाया। नेवर पोस्टचुनाव के बाद प्रधानमन्त्री की उम्मीदवार देउवा नहीं, पौडल और मैं हूँः डॉ. शशांक कोइराला

चित्तौड़ का अन्ग्रेजी में अर्थ चित्तौड़ पु संज्ञा पुं॰ [हिं॰ चित्तौर] दे॰ 'चित्तौर' । चित्तौड़गढ़ राजस्थान का एक शहर है। यह शूरवीरों का शहर है जो पहाड़ी पर बने दुर्ग के लिए प्रसिद्ध है। चित्तौड़गढ़ की प्राचीनता का पता लगाना कठिन कार्य है, किंतु माना जाता है कि महाभारत काल में महाबली भीम ने अमरत्व के रहस्यों को समझने के लिए इस स्थान का दौरा किया और एक पंडित को अपना गुरु बनाया, किंतु समस्त प्रक्रिया को पूरी करने से पहले अधीर होकर वह अपना लक्ष्य नहीं पा सका और प्रचंड गुस्से में आकर उसने अपना पांव जोर से जमीन पर मारा जिससे वहां पानी का स्रोत फूट पड़ा, पानी का यह कुंड भीम ताल कहा जाता है। बाद में यह स्थान मौर्य अथवा मूरी राजपूतों के अधीन आ गया, इसमें भिन्न-भिन्न राय हैं कि यह मेवाड़ शासकों के अधीन कब आया, किंतु राजधानी को उदयपुर ले जाने से पहले १५६८ तक चित्तौड़गढ़ मेवाड़ की राजधानी रहा। यहां पर रोड वंशी राजपूतों ने बहुत समय राज किया यह माना जाता है कि रोड वंश के महान संस्थापक बप्पा रावल ने ८वीं शताब्दी के मध्य में अंतिम सोलंकी राजकुमारी से विवाह करने पर चित्तौढ़ को दहेज के एक भाग के रूप में प्राप्त किया था, बाद में उसके वंशजों ने मेवाड़ पर शासन किया जो १६वीं शताब्दी तक गुजरात से अजमेर तक फैल चुका था। अजमेर से खंडवा जाने वाली ट्रेन के द्वारा रास्ते के बीच स्थित चित्तौरगढ़ जंक्शन से करीब २ मील उत्तर-पूर्व की ओर एक अलग पहाड़ी पर भारत का गौरव, राजपूताने का सुप्रसिद्ध चित्तौड़गढ़ का किला बना हुआ है। समुद्र तल से १३३८ फीट ऊँची भूमि पर स्थित ५०० फीट ऊँची एक विशाल ह्मवेल आकार में, पहाड़ी पर निर्मित्त इसका दुर्ग लगभग ३ मील लंबा और आधे मील तक चौड़ा है। पहाड़ी का घेरा करीब ८ मील का है तथा यह कुल ६०९ एकड़ भूमि पर बसा है। चित्तौड़गढ़, वह वीरभूमि है, जिसने समूचे भारत के सम्मुख शौर्य, देशभक्ति एवं बलिदान का अनूठा उदाहरण प्रस्तुत किया। यहाँ के असंख्य राजपूत वीरों ने अपने देश तथा धर्म की रक्षा के लिए असिधारारुपी तीर्थ में स्नान किया। वहीं राजपूत वीरांगनाओं ने कई अवसर पर अपने सतीत्व की रक्षा के लिए अपने बाल-बच्चों सहित जौहर की अग्नि में प्रवेश कर आदर्श उपस्थित किये। इन स्वाभिमानी देशप्रेमी योद्धाओं से भरी पड़ी यह भूमि पूरे भारत वर्ष के लिए प्रेरणा स्रोत बनकर रह गयी है। यहाँ का कण-कण हममें देशप्रेम की लहर

उत्तर भारत के कई राज्य बाढ़ से बेहाल | द्द न्यूज होम | नेशनल | उत्तर भारत के कई राज्य बाढ़ से बेहाल इस बार के मॉनसून ने कई राज्यों के लिए मुसीबत की शक्ल ले ली है. देश के उत्तरी हिस्सों में कई राज्य बाढ़ की चपेट में है. भारी बारिश, भूस्खलन और बाढ़ की वजह से पहाड़ी राज्यों हिमाचल प्रदेश और उत्तराखंड में अभी तक ३५ लोगों की मौत हो चुकी है. भारी बारिश के कारण इन राज्यों की नदियों के जलस्तर में काफी वृद्धि हुई है. देश के उत्तरी हिस्से में कई राज्यों में भारी बारिश और बाढ़ से हालात ख़राब हैं. हालांकि बारिश में आई कमी से कई जगहों पर हालात में कुछ सुधार भी हैं. भारी बारिश, भूस्खलन और बाढ़ की वजह से पहाड़ी राज्यों हिमाचल प्रदेश और उत्तराखंड में अभी तक ३५ लोगों की मौत हो चुकी है. पंजाब और हरियाणा के कई हिस्सों में भी बाढ़ जैसी स्थिति बन गई है. सबसे पहले बात राजधानी दिल्ली की करें तो यहां यमुना नदी ख़तरे के निशान से ऊपर बह रही है और किनारे बसे कई इलाकों और घरों में पानी फैल गया है. दोपहर एक बजे यमुना में जलस्तर २०६.८ मीटर पर था. जलस्तर बढ़ने के मद्देनजर यमुना नदी पर बने लोहे के पुराने पुल को सड़क और रेल यातायात के लिए बंद कर दिया गया है. नदी के डूब क्षेत्र में रह रहे लोगों को दिल्ली सरकार की विभिन्न एजेंसियों द्वारा बनाए गए २२,००० से अधिक तंबुओं में भेजा गया है. इन दिनों सबसे ज़्यादा बुरी हालत पहाड़ी राज्य उत्तराखंड की है जहां पिछले दो दिनों में हुई भारी बारिश के चलते राज्य की सभी नदियां उफान पर हैं और हरिद्वार में गंगा खतरे के निशान को पार कर गई है. राज्य के मुख्यमंत्री त्रिवेंद्र सिंह रावत ने उत्तरकाशी आपदा प्रभावित इलाके का दौरा कर प्रभावित लोगों के लिए सभी ज़रूरी व्यवस्था करने का निर्देश दिया. सीएम ने बताया कि अब तक इस आपदा में १५ लोगों की मौत हो चुकी है जबकि ६ लोग लापता हैं. ८ लोग घायल भी हैं. उत्तराखंड के उत्तरकाशी में टोंस नदी की विभीषिका के बाद आईटीबीपी ने खोज अभियान चलाया. यहां बादल फटने से तबाह हुए टिकोची के पास आराकोट इलाके में एक शव निकाला गया है, जबकि कुछ अन्य लापता लोगों की तलाश जारी है. देहरादून में हेलीकॉप्टर से राहत सामाग्री पहुंचाई गई. वहीं हिमाचल में बारिश न होने से हालात सामान्य रहे. हालांकि हमीरपुर जिले में बाढ के चलते एक इमारत ढह गई. उत्तर प्रदेश में गंगा, यमुना और घाघरा सहित कई नदियों में बाढ़ की स्थिति पैदा हो गई है. पड़ोसी राज्यों में भारी बारिश के कारण इन नदियों के जलस्तर में काफी वृद्धि हुई है. पंजाब और हरियाणा में मंगलवार को बारिश नहीं हुई लेकिन पिछले कुछ दिनों लगातार हुई वर्षा के कारण दोनों राज्यों के अनेक हिस्सों में बाढ़ जैसे हालात हैं. कुछ प्रभावित क्षेत्रों से जल स्तर कम होना शुरू हो गया है. किंतु लुधियाना, रूपनगर और जालंधर के अनेक गांवों में अभी तक पानी भरा हुआ है. सतलुज नदी पर बने विभिन्न बांधों में दरार आने से इन गांवों में पानी भर गया. जालंधर में बाढ़ में फंसे लोगों को निकाला गया. भारी बारिश और बाढ़ से उपजे हालात पर काबू पाने के लिए तमाम राज्यों में राहत और बचाव कार्य युद्ध स्तर पर चलाया जा रहा है. राष्ट्रीय आपदा प्रबंधन समिति की बैठक में कैबिनेट सचिव पी के सिन्हा ने हिमाचल प्रदेश, पंजाब, उत्तराखंड, हरियाणा और दिल्ली में बाढ़ की स्थिति का जायज़ा लिया. इन राज्यों में एनडीआरएफ की २८ टीमों के अलावा सेना और वायु सेना की कई टीमें भी लगातार राहत और बचाव कार्यों में लगी हुई हैं. गृहमंत्री अमित शाह की अध्यक्षता में उच्च स्तरीय समिति की एक अन्य बैठक में प्राकृतिक आपदाओं से प्रभावित ओडिशा, कर्नाटक और हिमाचल प्रदेश को ४४३२ करोड़ रूपए की सहायता देने का ऐलान किया गया. समिति ने देश के अन्य हिस्सों में बाढ़ प्रभावित क्षेत्रों की स्थिति का भी जायज़ा लिया. गृहमंत्री ने सभी संबंधित एजेंसियों को मुस्तैद रहने और राज्यों की हरसंभव सहायता करने का निर्देश दिया. फिलहाल राहत और बचाव कार्य जारी है और लोगों को बचाना सरकारों की पहली प्राथमिकता है. लातविया के राष्ट्रपति इग्लिस लेविट्स से मिल उपराष्ट्रपति एम वेंकैया नायडू ०६-०१-२०२० | ७:५९ आम उत्तर भारत में कड़ाके की ठंड ने थामी रफ्तार, कल रिकार्ड तोड़ सर्दी के बाद आज दिल्ली में कुछ राहत ३१-१२-२०१९ | १०:१० प्म ३०-१२-२०१९ | १०:१८ प्म २९-१२-२०१९ | ७:१८ आम

मधुमक्खियों को लेकर हाल ही में हार्वर्ड यूनिवर्सिटी के शोधकर्ताओं ने दावा किया कि वह अपने घरों का निर्माण खास तकनीक से करती हैं। घरों को इस तरह बनाती हैं कि गर्मी में भी उससे ठंडक का अहसास होता है। मधुमक्खियां घने छत्तों में एक साथ रहती हैं, फिर भी इनको गर्मियों में खुद ठंडक का अहसास मिलता है। हार्वर्ड यूनिवर्सिटी के शोधकर्ता बताते हैं कि दरअसल, मधुमक्खियां अपने छत्ते का निर्माण ही कुछ इस प्रकार करती हैं कि जिससे गर्मियों में वह हवादार बना रहता है। शोधकर्ता बताते हैं कि जब मधुमक्खियों को ऐसा लगता है कि छत्ते के भीतर गर्माहट आ गई है या छत्ता अंदर से काफी गर्म हो गया है तो कुछ मधुमक्खियां छत्ते के प्रवेश द्वार या छिद्रों के पास चली जाती हैं और अपने पंखों को फड़फड़ाने लगती हैं जैसे कि पंखा चल रहा हो। इस प्रकार वे अंदर की गर्मी को बाहर निकाल देती हैं। यह शोध-पत्र जर्नल ऑफ रॉयल सोसायटी इंटरफेस में प्रकाशित हुआ है। इसमें शोधकर्ताओं ने मानव निर्मित कई मधुमक्खियों के छत्तों पर प्रयोग किया। इसमें देखा गया कि पंखों को फड़फड़ाकर मधुमक्खियां अपने छत्ते को हवादार बनाती हैं और गर्मियों में भी अपने घरों में ठंडक का अहसास करती हैं। शोध-पत्र के प्रथम लेखक हार्वर्ड यूनिवर्सिटी के जैकब पीटर्स ने कहा, हमने यह प्रदर्शित किया कि मधुमक्खियों को अपने छत्ते को ठंडा रखने के लिए कृत्रिम उपाय करने की जरूरत नहीं होती है।

हम कांग्रेस और बीजेपी के पाखंड के खिलाफ स्वतंत्र कार्यवाही की योजना बना रहे हैं : ओवैसी - थे शियासत डेली हम कांग्रेस और बीजेपी के पाखंड के खिलाफ स्वतंत्र कार्यवाही की योजना बना रहे हैं : ओवैसी अखिल भारतीय मजलिस-ए-इत्तेहादुल मुस्लिमीन (एआईएमआईएम) के अध्यक्ष असदुद्दीन ओवैसी, जो तेलंगाना में आठ सीटों पर चुनाव लड़ रहे हैं और ७ दिसंबर के चुनावों में टीआरएस का समर्थन कर रहे हैं, इन चुनावों के आसपास के मुद्दों के बारे में लिज़ मैथ्यू से बात के मुख्य अंश । आप एआईएमआईएम और टीआरएस के प्रदर्शन के बारे में कितने आश्वस्त हैं, जिन्हें आपने सार्वजनिक रूप से समर्थन दिया है? मुझे पूरा भरोसा है कि दोनों पार्टियां अच्छी तरह से काम करेंगी। न केवल हम अपने सात विधानसभा क्षेत्रों को बनाए रखेंगे, हमारे तालमेल में वृद्धि होगी। मुझे यह भी यकीन है कि तेलंगाना के लोग एक बार फिर चंद्रशेखर राव को आशीर्वाद देंगे और उन्हें मुख्यमंत्री बना देंगे। आप संसद में जो कहते हैं और बाहर की राजनीतिक चाल के बीच अंतर है। आप वहां भाजपा पर हमला करते हैं, लेकिन बाहर ऐसे कदम उठाते हैं कि पार्टी को चुनावी परीक्षणों में मदद करेंगे। ऐसा क्यों हैं? बीजेपी का विरोध करने का मतलब यह नहीं है कि मुझे संघर्ष नहीं करना चाहिए, इसका मतलब यह नहीं है कि मुझे अपनी पार्टी का विस्तार नहीं करना चाहिए और इसका मतलब यह नहीं है कि मुझे पार्टी के अधीन होना चाहिए जो अब तक धर्मनिरपेक्षता के नाम पर हमें धोखा दे रहा है, यानी कांग्रेस। तो पूरे तर्क में कि आप केवल धर्मनिरपेक्ष हैं यदि आप कांग्रेस के साथ हैं तो कोई मेटर नहीं है। इसमें कोई सच्चाई नहीं है। बिहार में, मैंने २००-विषम सीटों में से केवल छह में चुनाव लड़ा था। तर्क स्वयं गलत है। दूसरा, जहां भी हमने चुनाव में भाग नहीं लिया, कांग्रेस हार गई है दिल्ली, झारखंड, जम्मू-कश्मीर, हरियाणा, सूची लंबी है। हमें विचारधारा के कारण बीजेपी का विरोध करना पड़ सकता है। लेकिन देश में पूरी बहस यह है कि ऐसा क्यों है कि कोई भी राष्ट्रवादी हो सकता है अगर वह भाजपा का समर्थन कर रहा है और धर्मनिरपेक्ष वह है जो कांग्रेस के साथ है। लोगों की एक बड़ी संख्या इससे सहमत नहीं है, खासकर क्षेत्रीय दलों और मेरे जैसे पार्टियां। हमें लगता है कि हमें एक स्वतंत्र कार्यवाही का सामना करना चाहिए और यही वह है जो हम कर रहे हैं। लोकसभा चुनाव से पहले टीआरएस भाजपा के करीब आने के बारे में बात हो रही है। यदि ऐसा होता है, तो क्या यह आपकी पार्टी के लिए शर्मिंदगी या समस्या होगी? जहां तक विधानसभा चुनावों का सवाल है, यह सवाल ही नहीं उठता। वास्तव में यहां कोई बीजेपी नहीं है, वास्तव में, वे अपनी पांच सीटों में से कुछ खो देंगे। कांग्रेस से यह सवाल कोई क्यों नहीं पूछ रहा है क्या आप १०० या १२० सीटें पार करने जा रहे हैं? आपको १२० सीटें मिलती हैं और गेम खत्म हो गया है। पूरे तर्क कि हम, चाहे वह मुझे या टीआरएस है, कांग्रेस में शामिल होना चाहिए। पर क्यों? कांग्रेस क्यों नहीं दे सकती? यह कांग्रेस की कमजोरी और विफलता के कारण है कि बीजेपी सत्ता में है। कांग्रेस के नेताओं से यह सवाल पूछा जाना चाहिए। मध्यप्रदेश में, कांग्रेस ने केवल तीन मुस्लिम टिकट दिए हैं। फिर उसके एक नेता का कहना है कि आपको ९० प्रतिशत वोट देना होगा। आप एक ऐसे राज्य में तीन सीटें देते हैं जहां मुस्लिम ८-९ प्रतिशत हैं। मेरा तर्क यह है कि हम आपके लिए वोट देने के लिए पैदा नहीं हुए हैं। मेरा पूरा संघर्ष राजनीतिक सशक्तिकरण के लिए है, क्योंकि जब तक कि यह समाज, वर्ग, समूह का एक वर्ग नहीं है, आप राजनीतिक रूप से प्रतिनिधित्व कर रहे हैं, आपके मुद्दों और विकास को बिल्कुल संबोधित नहीं किया जाता है। यह कांग्रेस और बीजेपी का पाखंड है। बीजेपी एक सीट (एमपी में) और कांग्रेस तीन देती है। पूरे मध्यप्रदेश में, आपके पास सिर्फ चार मुस्लिम चुनाव लड़ रहे हैं। मैंने राहुल गांधी को उद्धृत करते हुए एक समाचार पत्र में एक लेख में पढ़ा कि उनकी पार्टी हिंदुओं के साथ है। अगर मैं इसी बात को अलग तरीके से कहता हुं, तो राष्ट्रवादी मुझे कत्ल कर देने की बात करते हैं। चूंकि राहुल गांधी ने कहा, जनउ-धारी हिंदू सही है। सौभाग्य से या दुर्भाग्य से, मैं वर्ण प्रणाली का हिस्सा नहीं हूं। तब मुझे कहाँ जाना चाहिए? मंदिरों में जाने के साथ कांग्रेस के नए अवतार पर आपका क्या विचार है? भारत एक ऐसा देश है जहां हम सभी धर्मों का जश्न मनाते हैं, और यहां तक कि वे लोग जो धर्म स्वीकार नहीं करते हैं। लेकिन कहने के लिए कि इस देश में केवल एक ही धर्म है, और जब तक आप इसका पालन नहीं करते हैं, तब तक आप सामाजिक रूप से प्रगति नहीं कर सकते हैं, मैं उस तर्क को नहीं मानता हूं। कांग्रेस ने स्वयं अपने नेता को जनउ-धारी हिंदू कहा है। यदि वह एक जनेउ-धारी हिंदू है, तो वर्ण प्रणाली के बाहर एक बड़ा हिस्सा है। उनके साथ क्या होगा? आप मुझे बीजेपी और खुद के बीच का अंतर दिखाते हैं। यदि आप भाजपा को अपनाने की कोशिश कर रहे हैं, तो उनका पालन करें, आप मोदी (पीएम नरेंद्र) की दर्पण छवि बनने की कोशिश कर रहे हैं, तो लोगों के पास क्या विकल्प है? २०१९ के चुनावों पर आपका अलगा कदम क्या है? चुनाव के करीब, मैं एक राय बना सकता हूं। अभी मैं केवल एक चीज देख सकता हूं कि क्षेत्रीय दल दिल्ली में अगली सरकार के गठन में उचित भूमिका निभाएंगे। पांच राज्यों में ये चुनाव एक पर्दे उठाने वाला होगा और हमें एक संकेत दे देंगे कि देश किस तरह जाना चाहता है. तेलंगाना में, टीआरएस के लिए आपकी पार्टी कितनी निर्वाचन क्षेत्रों को प्रभावित करती है और स्विंग कर सकती है? मेरी पार्टी के नेता के रूप में, मैं हर निर्वाचन क्षेत्र के लिए कहूंगा। यह प्रजकुट्टामी ईस्ट इंडिया कंपनी २०१८ के अलावा कुछ भी नहीं है। एन चंद्रबाबू नायडू, अमरावती में बैठे हैं, और दिल्ली में बैठे कांग्रेस, तेलंगाना में भाग्य के स्वामी नहीं बन सकते हैं। यह एक नवनिर्मित राज्य है और हमें अभी भी पड़ोसी तेलुगू राज्य के साथ समस्याएं हैं। जहां तक सिंचाई परियोजनाओं का सवाल है, वहां एक बड़ी समस्या है, और आंध्र प्रदेश ने कई सिंचाई परियोजनाओं का विरोध किया है। यदि पड़ोसी राज्य से नायडू द्वारा बैकरूम रिमोट कंट्रोलिंग किया जाता है, तो मुझे नहीं लगता कि लोग इसके लिए तैयार हैं। आपने कहा कि एक कांग्रेस नेता ने रैली रद्द करने के लिए आपके लिए २५ लाख रुपये की पेशकश की थी? उपलब्ध ऑडियो में कांग्रेस उम्मीदवार भैंसा नगर पालिका के उपाध्यक्ष की अवाज में बात कर रहे थे जो मेरी पार्टी के सदस्य हैं. वह कह रहे हैं कि निर्मल निर्वाचन क्षेत्र का उम्मीदवार मेरे साथ बैठा है और मुझे ओवैसी साब को बताने के लिए कह रहा है कि हम आपको २५ लाख रुपये देंगे अगर निर्मल सार्वजनिक बैठक को रोक दें। इससे पता चलता है कि आप नहीं चाहते कि मैं एक सार्वजनिक बैठक आयोजित करूं, इसलिए आप मुझे पहले एक सांप्रदायिक व्यक्ति कहते हैं, फिर आप कहते हैं कि वह भाजपा के साथ सहवासियों में है और जब यह काम नहीं करता है, तो आप कहते हैं कि हमारे पास पर्याप्त पैसा है, आप इसे लेते हैं । यह पार्टी का अहंकार है। १९९८ से २०१२ तक, मैं कांग्रेस के साथ था। क्या मैंने आपसे कुछ पूछा था? वैसे भी, आप का खुलासा किया गया है। कश्मीर में विकास पर आप कैसे प्रतिक्रिया करते हैं? महबूबा मुफ्ती को समान रूप से दोषी ठहराया जाना चाहिए। क्योंकि भाजपा के साथ इसका गठबंधन क्यों हुआ? बीजेपी और पीडीपी की वजह से, हम घाटी में आईएस की तरह के निष्पादन देख रहे हैं। आप शिक्षित युवा लोगों को पीएचडी हथियार उठाते हुए देख रहे हैं। आपने विशाल अलगाव देखा है। वह समान रूप से दोषी है। वे अब सरकार बनाना चाहते हैं, जबकि उन्होंने स्थानीय चुनाव भी नहीं लड़े। और अब, हमने गवर्नरों को नहीं देखा है चाहे वह बीजेपी या कांग्रेस शासन में है संवैधानिक निष्पक्षता के अपने महान मानकों तक जी रहे हैं। उन्होंने कभी बोमाई के फैसले का पालन नहीं किया है। क्या हुआ था निरंतरता। मुझे आशा है कि कोई इसे सर्वोच्च न्यायालय में चुनौती देगा.
८ सीटों के लिए आज से होगा नामांकन, प्रकिया पूरी करने के लिए मिलेंगे सिर्फ चार दिन लखनऊ। आगामी लोकसभा चुनावों के लिए उत्तर प्रदेश की आठ सीटों के लिए नामांकन प्रक्रिया की शुरुआत सोमवार से हो रही है। मुख्य निर्वाचन अधिकारी वेंकटेश्वर लू ने बताया कि प्रथम चरण की आठ सीटों का नामांकन आज से शुरू हो जाएगा। प्रत्याशियों को नामांकन के लिए सिर्फ चार दिन ही मिलेंगे। लू ने बताया कि २० व २१ मार्च को होली का अवकाश रहेगा। जबकि २३ मार्च को शनिवार व २४ मार्च को रविवार का अवकाश रहेगा। इसी कारण पहले चरण के चुनाव के उम्मीदवारों के नामांकन पत्रों की जांच २६ मार्च तक होगी। २८ मार्च को दोपहर ३:०० बजे तक नाम वापस लिए जा सकेंगे। गौरतलब है कि प्रदेश में पहले चरण में सहारनपुर, कैराना, मुजफ्फरनगर, बिजनौर, मेरठ, बागपत, गाजियाबाद और गौतमबुद्ध नगर सीटों पर लोकसभा चुनाव होने हैं।

दोनों ने ११ सितम्बर को अमेरिका में भाषण दिया, एक ने बुराई की, दूसरे ने भारत सर ऊंचा कर दिया <!- स्टार्ट डिसएबल कॉपी पेस्ट --> दोनों ने ११ सितम्बर को अमेरिका में भाषण दिया, एक ने बुराई की, दूसरे ने भारत सर ऊंचा कर दिया राहुल गाँधी ने अमेरिका में भाषण देने के लिए वही तारीख चुनी जिस तारीख को स्वामी विवेकानंद ने अमेरिका में ही भाषण देकर भारत का मस्तक ऊंचा कर दिया था. स्वामी विवेकानंद का वह भाषण आज भी दुनिया का सबसे आकर्षक और दमदार भाषण माना जाता है, आज भी उस भाषण की सालगिरह मानाई जारी है. कल विवेकानंद के उसी भाषण की सालगिरह थी और राहुल गाँधी ने भी इसी तारीख पर अमेरिका में भाषण दिया. विवेकानंद और राहुल गाँधी के भाषण में यह अंतर था कि राहुल गाँधी ने अपने भाषण में सिर्फ भारत की बुराई की, ऐसा लग ही नहीं रहा था कि राहुल गाँधी भारत के नागरिक हैं ही नहीं. ऐसा लग ही नहीं रहा था कि राहुल गाँधी को अपने देश से रत्ती भर भी प्यार है. आप देखते हैं कि किसी और के घर में जाकर कोई भी इंसान अपने घर की बुराई नहीं करता, अपने गाँव की बुराई नहीं करता, अपने शहर की बुराई नहीं करता, अपने प्रदेश की बुराई नहीं करता और अपने देश की बुराई नहीं करता. अगर बिहार का कोई युवक महाराष्ट्र जाता है तो वह अपने राज्य की तारीफ करता है, अपने राज्य की बुराई नहीं सुन सकता और ना ही करता है. अब आप राहुल गाँधी का भाषण देखिये, उन्होंने सिर्फ भारत की यानी अपने घर की बुराई की. उन्होंने कहा कि हमारे भारत में मुस्लिमों पर हमले हो रहे हैं, दलितों को मारा जा रहा है, लिबरल पत्रकारों को गोली मारी जा रही है, राईट विंग के लोगों ने हिंसा पैदा कर दी है, नफरत पैदा कर दी है, धर्मिल धुर्वीकरण हो रहा है, आतंकवाद बढ़ रहा है, सब कुछ बुरा ही बुरा हो रहा है. अब आप स्वामी विवेकानंद का भाषण देखिये, उन्होंने अपने भाषण में सिर्फ भारत की तारीफ की थी, उस समय भी हमारा देश अंग्रेजों का गुलाम था, उससे पहले भी सैकड़ों वर्षों तक भारत मुगलों का गुलाम रहा था उसके बावजूद भी स्वामी विवेकानंद ने भारत की बुराई नहीं की. उन्होंने सिर्फ यह बताया कि हमारे भारत में अच्छा क्या है, हमारी ताकत क्या है, हम किस प्रकार से दुनिया से अलग हैं, हम किस प्रकार से प्रकृति से प्यार करते हैं, जानवरों से प्यार करते हैं, पेड़-पौधों से प्यार करते हैं, इंसानों से प्यार करते हैं. उन्होंने कहा था कि हम पूरे विश्व को अपना घर मानते हैं. पूरे विश्व के बारे में सोचते हैं. हमारे भारत में विविधता है, कई भाषाएँ हैं, कई बोलियाँ हैं, इतनी विविधता होने के बाद भी हम एक दूसरे से जुड़े हुए हैं. ११ सितम्बर को विवेकानंद ने भारत की तारीफ करके हमारे देश का मस्तक गर्व से ऊंचा कर दिया था और इसी भाषण की वजह से उन्हें इतिहास में जगह मिली, लेकिन राहुल गाँधी ने ११ सितम्बर को अमेरिका में ही भारत की नाक कटा दी, अपने घर की ही बुराई कर दी.

ब्लोटिंग कास: पेट की गैस से हैं परेशान, तो आहार में करें ये जरूरी बदलाव होम / हिन्दी / डाइट / पेट की गैस से हैं परेशान, तो आहार में करें ये जरूरी बदलाव डकार आने की तरह ही गैस पास होना भी एक सामान्य प्रक्रिया है, जो पाचन का हिस्सा है। पर अगर जरूरत से ज्यादा गैस बनने लगे तो आपको अपने आहार में जरूरी बदलाव करने चाहिए। डकार आने की तरह ही गैस पास होना भी एक सामान्य प्रक्रिया है, जो पाचन का हिस्सा है। पर अगर जरूरत से ज्यादा गैस बनने लगे तो आपको अपने आहार में जरूरी बदलाव करने चाहिए। शटरस्टॉक हॉ तो गेट रिड ऑफ ब्लोटिंग: क्या बार-बार होती है आपको ब्लोटिंग की परेशानी? जब हो पेट फूलने की परेशानी तो, ट्राई करें ये नैचुरल तरीके भोजन ग्रहण करने से लेकर पचाने तक एक लंबी और पेचीदा प्रक्रिया है। इसमें गैस बनना एक सामान्य बात है। जो डकार या गैस के रूप में बाहर निकल जाती है। हर व्यक्ति को गैस बनती है जिसे वह गुदा द्वार से बाहर करता है। पर अगर यह इतनी ज्यादा बनने लगे कि आपको शर्मिंदा होना पड़े तो इसका अर्थ है कि आपके खाने और खाना खाने के तरीके में कुछ गलतियां (एसिडिटी कास) हैं। इन्हें सुधारने की जरूरत है। जानने गैस बनने की प्रक्रिया जब हम भोजन करते हैं तो वह एनर्जी में तब्दील होने से पहले बर्न होता है। जिसे भोजन का टूटना या जलना कहा जाता है। भोजन में फाइबर, विटामिन के साथ कुछ मसाले भी होते हैं। जो भोजन को बर्न करने में मदद करते हैं। इसी प्रक्रिया में कुछ रसायन (ब्लोटिंग कास) भी पैदा होते हैं। यदि यह पेट से उपर के हिस्से में बने हैं तो यह डकार के रूप में बाहर निकलते हैं। पर अगर इनकी मौजूदगी आंत के भीतर है तो यह गैस के रूप में बाहर निकलते हैं। यह एक सामान्य और जरूरी प्रक्रिया है। अगर बनने लगे ज्यादा गैस एक सामान्य व्यक्ति सामान्यत: दिन भर में १४ बार गैस पास करता है। यह उसके चयापचय और बेहतर स्वास्थ्य के लिए जरूरी है। कुछ लोगों को खाना खाने के बाद पेट फूलने की समस्या होती है। यह तभी होती है जब पेट के भीतर बनी हुई गैस यानी दाखिल हुई हवा किसी भी तरह से बाहर नहीं निकल पाती। इससे पेट दर्द, सिर दर्द जैसी कई समस्याएं भी हो सकती हैं। जरूरी हैं ये बदलाव ईटिंग हेबिट को बदलें अगर आपको सामान्य से ज्यादा गैस बनने लगी है तो इसका अर्थ है कि आपका खाना खाने का तरीका यानी ईटिंग हेबिट सही नहीं है। बहुत जल्दी-जल्दी खाना खाने, खाना खाते वक्त बहुत ज्यादा बाद करने, बिना ठीक से चबाए हुए खाना खाने से पेट में ज्यादा गैस बनने की समस्या हो सकती है। कुछ लोग टीवी देखते हुए खाना खाते हैं। यह खाना खाने का सबसे गलत तरीका है। इससे आपको यह पता ही नहीं चल पाता कि आपको भूख कितनी थी और आपने कितना खाना खाया। क्या लेने लगे हैं तनाव अगर आप छोटी-छोटी बातों पर भी बहुत ज्यादा तनाव लेते हैं तो आपको पेट में ज्यादा गैस बनने की समस्या का सामना करना पड़ सकता है। तनाव के कारण हमारे मस्तिष्क से जो हॉर्मोन रिलीज होते हैं, वे हमारे मेटाबॉलिज्म को बहुत गहरे से प्रभावित करते हैं। जिससे खाना ठीक से पच नहीं पाता और कई तरह की समस्याएं होने लगती हैं। तय करें नींद का समय अगर आप देर से सोते हैं और देर से उठते हैं तो आपको पाचन संबंधी परेशानियों का सामना करना ही पड़ेगा। हमारे पाचन तंत्र पर सूर्य की रोशनी का बहुत प्रभाव पड़ता है। दिन ढलने के साथ ही पाचन शक्ति कमजोर होने लगती है और तनाव बढ़ाने वाले हॉर्मोन का स्तर बढ़ने लगता है। ऐसे में जरूरी है कि हम खुद को आराम दें। इसके उलट अगर हम रात बारह बजे के बाद भी जागते रहते हैं तो पेट में गैस बनने लगती है। यह सिर्फ एक दिन की समस्या नहीं है। इसका असर अगले कई दिनों तक रह सकता है। इसलिए अपनी नींद का समय निश्चित करें। खुद के लिए करें सही भोजन का चयन एक जैसा शरीर होने के बावजूद सभी का मेटाबॉलिज्म रेट अलग-अलग होता है। इसलिए जो फूड एक को सूट करता है, जरूरी नहीं कि दूसरे को भी सूट करे। सजग होकर भोजन ग्रहण करें और उस आहार की पहचान करें जिसके कारण आपके पेट में ज्यादा गैस बनती हैं। छोले, राजमा, गोभी, उड़द दाल ये कुछ ऐसे आहार हैं जो कुदरती रूप से ज्यादा गैस बनाते हैं। इसके अलावा फास्ट फूड, डीप फ्राइड चीजें, ज्यादा मसालें भी पेट में गैस बनाते हैं। इन्हें अपनी क्षमता के अनुरूप ही खाएं। पेट में गैस और एसिडिटी की समस्या से

श्रेयस अय्यर क्यों होने चाहिए नंबर ४, लक्ष्मण ने बताई वजह होम > उन्कैटेगरिज़्ड > वीवीएस लक्ष्मण ने ढूढ़ निकाला नंबर ४ का सही विकल्प, इस खिलाड़ी को माना सही दावेदार भारतीय टीम नंबर ४ के बल्लेबाज के लिए काफी समय से जूझ रही है। विश्व कप के सेमीफाइनल में टीम के हार की वजहों में यह भी शामिल था। टॉप तीन बल्लेबाजों के जल्दी आउट होने के बाद भारत के पास पारी संभालने वाला बल्लेबाज नहीं था। विश्व कप के बाद से ऋषभ पन्त यहाँ खेल रहे थे, लेकिन बांग्लादेश के खिलाफ सीरीज में टीम मैनेजमेंट ने श्रेयस अय्यर को मौका दिया। श्रेयस अय्यर की हुई तारीफ भारतीय टीम के पूर्व दिग्गज बल्लेबाज वीवीएस लक्ष्मण ने श्रेयस अय्यर के खेल की तारीफ की है। उन्हें लगता है कि नंबर ४ का बल्ला बनने की काबिलयत अय्यर में है। इस बारे में समझाते हुए टाइम्स ऑफ इंडिया के अपने कॉलम में उन्होंने लिखा श्रेयस अय्यर, जो खुद को नंबर ४ के रूप में स्थापित करने में एक लंबा रास्ता तय कर चुके हैं। जब केएल खेल रहे थे, तो श्रेयस को दूसरी फिउड खेलने का फैसला किया। जब ऋषभ पंत जूझ रहे थे तो उन्होंने प्रमुख भूमिका निभाई। उन्होंने न केवल अपनी क्षमता का प्रदर्शन किया, बल्कि छठे गेंदबाज को भी निशाना बनाकर चतुराई दिखाई। यह नंबर ४ पर रहने के लिए एक बेहतरीन कॉम्बिनेशन है, जहां स्थिति को देखते हुए आपको खेल बदलना पड़ता है। ६२ रनों की पारी खेली श्रेयस अय्यर ने इससे पहले वनडे क्रिकेट में कई बेहतरीन पारियां खेली थी लेकिन टी-२० में ऐसा नहीं कर पाए थे। नागपुर में जब उनका खाता नहीं खुला था तभी बांग्लादेश ने उन्हें जीवनदान दे दिया। इसके बाद उन्होंने अपनी पारी में पीछे मुड़कर नहीं देखा। केएल राहुल के पिच पर रहने तक उन्होंने सिर्फ स्ट्राइक रोटेट किया। १५वें ओवर की पहली तीन गेंदों पर उन्होंने अफीफ हुसैन को लगातार तीन छक्के जड़ दिया। इसके बाद मैच में भारतीय पारी को गति मिल गयी और टीम १७५ तक पहुंचे में सफल रही। अय्यर ने ३३ गेंदों में ६२ रनों की पारी खेली। इसमें तीन चौके और ५ छक्के भी शामिल थे। उनके अलावा कोई भी भारतीय बल्लेबाज छक्का नहीं लगा पाया। टैग्स #भारत बनाम बांग्लादेश #वीवीएस लक्ष्मण #श्रेयस अय्यर बांग्लादेश के खिलाफ टी-२० सीरीज में इन ४ खिलाड़ियों को मिल सकता है आराम थ्रो बॉल चुनाव : बच्चन अध्यक्ष, मान बने सचिव एटीपी, यूनिसेफ बच्चों के लिए हाथ मिलाया थ्रो बॉल : राजस्थान ने हासिल की जीत अच्छा लगता है जब लोग जिमनास्टिक को सम्मान से देखते हैं : दीपा करमाकर

मध्यप्रदेश में सरकार हर बार नाकाम होती दिख रही | हिमालय गौरव मध्यप्रदेश में सरकार हर बार नाकाम होती दिख रही किसान सड़कों पर थे. आंदोलन उग्र और हिंसक था. लेकिन, गृह मंत्री राजनाथ सिंह का इस पूरे मामले में न तो किसी तरह का कोई बयान आया और न ही कभी ऐसा लगा कि वो कानून-व्यवस्था के इस मुद्दे को लेकर गंभीर हैं. किसानों के आंदोलन और उनके मुद्दे पर किसानों की मसीहा की चुप्पी अगर यूं ही बरकरार रही तो उनके काम और काम करने के तरीके पर सवाल खड़े होते रहेंगे. #शिवराज सरकार की प्रशासनिक क्षमता की लगातार परीक्षा # मध्यप्रदेश में पिछले ४८ घंटों में कर्ज से परेशान तीन और किसानों ने कथित रूप से खुदकुशी कर ली, जिससे सूबे में पिछले ९ दिनों में आत्महत्या करने वाले किसानों की संख्या बढ़कर १० हो गई है. ताजा मामला एमपी के सीएम शिवराज सिंह चौहान के गृह क्षेत्र का है, जहां कर्ज से परेशान २२ साल के एक किसान ने जहरीला पदार्थ खाकर खुदकुशी कर ली. राष्ट्रीय किसान महासंघ (आरकेएम) ने बढ़ते कृषि संकट के मद्देनजर मध्य प्रदेश में राष्ट्रपति शासन लागू करने की मांग करते हुए शुक्रवार दोपहर १२ से तीन बजे के बीच राष्टीय राजमार्ग को रोकने का आहवान किया है. आरकेएम देश भर के ६२ किसान संगठनों का संघ है, जिसकी स्थापना जनवरी में कर्ज माफी और कृषि उत्पादों की अधिकतम लागत प्राप्त करने के लिए सभी अंशधारकों के साथ मिलकर करने के लिए की गई थी. आरकेएम के सदस्य रघुपति सिंह ने एक बयान में कहा, ११ जून से १५ जून तक हमने अपना विरोध जताने के लिए काला बिल्ला पहनकर शांतिपूर्वक विरोध प्रदर्शन किया. लेकिन १६ जून को पूरे भारत भर में दोपहर १२बजे से ३ बजे तक राजमार्गो को रोका जायेगा. पिछले सप्ताह महासंघ ने मध्य प्रदेश के मुख्यमंत्री शिवराज सिंह चौहान को बर्खास्त करने और राष्टपति शासन को लागू करने की मांग के संबंध में प्रस्ताव पारित किया था.आरकेएम ने कहा कि वह हाल में मंदसौर जिले में छह किसानों की हत्या के खिलाफ राष्टीय मानवाधिकार आयोग से संपर्क करेगा. इन दिनों शिवराज सरकार की प्रशासनिक क्षमता की लगातार परीक्षा हो रही है और राज्य सरकार हर बार इसमें नाकाम होती दिख रही है. मुख्यमंत्री शिवराज सिंह चौहान के तमाम दावों के बावजूद मध्य प्रदेश में किसानों का प्याज आसानी से नहीं बिक पा रहा है. उज्जैन में किसान प्याज बेचने के लिए लंबी-लंबी कतार में खड़े हो रहे हैं. जिसके चलते यहां ३ किलोमीटर तक प्याज से लदी ट्रालियों की लाइन लगी हुई है. कुछ ऐसा ही नजारा मध्य प्रदेश के दूसरे जिलों में भी देखने को मिला. मध्य प्रदेश में इस साल प्याज की बंपर पैदावार हुई है. प्याज किसानों की वजह से ही मध्य प्रदेश में आंदोलन शुरू हुआ. दरअसल किसानों को प्याज की सही लागत नहीं मिल पा रही थी. मुख्यमंत्री शिवराज सिंह चौहान के ऐलान के बाद मध्य प्रदेश सरकार किसानों से ८ रुपये प्रति किलो के भाव से प्याज खरीद रही है. जबकि देश में फुटकर बाजार में प्याज १५-२० रुपये प्रति किलो की दर से बिक रहा है. आपको बता दें कि एमपी के खंडवा, शाजापुर, रतलाम, छिंदवाड़ा, सागर और इंदौर में प्याज की खेती होती है. मध्य प्रदेश में इस साल प्याज की बंपर पैदावार हुई है. प्याज किसानों की वजह से ही मध्य प्रदेश में आंदोलन शुरू हुआ. दरअसल किसानों को प्याज की सही लागत

की दर से बिक रहा है. आपको बता दें कि एमपी के खंडवा, शाजापुर, रतलाम, छिंदवाड़ा, सागर और इंदौर में प्याज की खेती होती है. ये लाइन भंडारे के प्रसाद के लिए नहीं लगी हैऔर ना ही तत्काल टिकट वालों की लाइन है. इन लाइनों में देश के अन्नदाता खड़े हैं. तस्वीरें मध्य प्रदेश के शाजापुर की हैं. तहसीलदार के दफ्तर में प्याज बेचने के लिए किसानों को टोकन बांटने का एलान होते ही काउंटर पर किसानों की लंबी लाइन लग गई. ऐसी ही चार लाइनों में १००-१०० की संख्या में २०0किसानों ने टोकन लिया. किसान लाइन में थे, तो प्याज से भरे उनके ट्रक सड़कों पर खुले आसमान में खड़े थे. उज्जैन की कृषि मंडी के बाहर किसानों को अपना प्याज बेचने के लिए दो से तीन दिन तक इंतजार करना पड़ रहा है. एमपी में प्याज की सरकारी खरीद हो रही है लेकिन कछुए की चाल से. मध्य प्रदेश के इंदौर में तो बारिश ने किसानों की मुसीबत और बढ़ा दी है. मजबूर किसान किसी तरह से प्याज से लदे ट्रकों को ढंकने की कोशिश कर रहे हैं. बारिश से कुछ किसानों के प्याज भीगकर सड़ गए हैं. राज्य के कई जिलों में कृषि मंडियों के बाहर प्याज से लदे ट्रकों की ३ से ४ किलोमीटर लंबी कतार लगी है. प्य़ाज किसानों का नंबर कब आएंगे उन्हें भी नहीं पता. रोजाना सिर्फ ५० से ६० ट्रक प्याज की खरीद ही हो पा रही है. सरकार की तरफ से प्याज के लिए किसानों को ८ रुपए प्रति किलो का भाव दिया जा रहा है. जबकि खुले बाजार में यही प्याज ढाई गुना ऊंचे दाम तक बिक रहा है. राजधानी भोपाल में एक किलो प्याज १५ रुपये प्रति किलो के हिसाब से बिक रहा है. दिल्ली में कीमत २० रुपये है और मुंबई में भी कीमत १५ रुपये प्रति किलो तक है. आपको बता दें कि एमपी में किसानों का जो आंदोलन हुआ उसकी बड़ी वजह प्याज किसान ही थे. बंपर पैदावार की वजह से उन्हें सही लागत नहीं मिल पा रही थी लेकिन अब किसानों को प्याज बेचने के लिए दो-तीन दिन तक धूप और बारिश में गुजारने पड़ रहे हैं. ३ महीने पहले ही हुई थी मुकेश की शादी जानकारी के मुताबिक बुधनी विधानसभा के लाचोर गांव में रहने वाले किसान मुकेश की ३ महीने पहले ही शादी हुई थी. मुकेश के पास ६ एकड़ खेत है. उसपर ५५ हजार रुपए बैंक का जबकि ४ लाख साहू करो का कर्ज है. कर्ज से परेशान होने की वजह से मुकेश ने जहरीला पदार्थ खाकर खुदकुशी करने की कोशिश की. जिसे गंभीर हालत में भोपाल रेफर किया गया जहां उसकी मौत हो गई. बुधवार को दो और किसानों ने की आत्महत्या मध्य प्रदेश में किसानों की आत्महत्या का दौर थमने का नाम नहीं ले रहा है, बुधवार को दो और किसानों ने कर्ज से परेशान होकर आत्महत्या कर ली. होशंगाबाद जिले में किसान ने जहर खाकर और शिवपुरी जिले में फांसी के फंदे से लटकर जान दे दी. पुलिस ने यह जानकारी गुरुवार को दी. पुलिस के अनुसार, बावई थाना क्षेत्र के चपलासर का किसान नर्मदा प्रसाद यादव अपने भाई के साथ बुधवार को मंडी में मूंग बेचने आया था, मगर अशोक किसी काम से वहां से चला गया. नर्मदा का भाई अशोक जब लौटकर आया तो उसे बड़ा भाई इब्राहिम चौक के पास एक किराने की दुकान के पास बेहोशी की हालत में मिला. उसके मुंह से झाग निकल रहा था. इसके बाद नर्मदा को अस्पताल ले जाया गया, जहां देर रात मृत घोषित कर दिया गया. नर्मदा पर था किसी सूदखोर का ५० हजार रुपए का कर्ज कोतवाली थाने के प्रभारी महेंद्र सिंह चौहान ने गुरुवार को बताया, परिजन बताते हैं कि नर्मदा पर किसी सूदखोर का ५० हजार रुपये का कर्ज था. कर्ज चुकाने के लिए सूदखोर उस पर दबाव बना रहा था और रकम के एवज में नर्मदा से ट्रैक्टर मांग रहा था. इससे वह परेशान था, शायद इसी के चलते उसने जहर खा लिया. पुलिस मामले की जांच कर रही है. बुधवार को ही शिवपुरी जिले के बिनेका गांव में कल्ला नाम के किसान का शव पेड़ से लटका मिला. परिजनों के अनुसार, उसके पास सवा दो बीघा जमीन है, पिछले तीन साल से सूखा के कारण उस पर कर्ज भी बढ़ गया था, जिससे वह परेशान था. इसी के चलते उसने फांसी के फंदे से लटककर आत्महत्या कर ली. शराब पीने का आदी था कल्ला इंदार थाने के प्रभारी एस.बी. शर्मा ने कहा है कि कल्ला शराब पीने का आदी था और तांत्रिक क्रियाएं करता था. उस पर किसी तरह का कर्ज नहीं है. आशंका है कि उसने तांत्रिक क्रिया के चलते ही आत्महत्या कर ली होगी. पुलिस मामले की जांच कर रही है. आपको बता दें कि मंदसौर जिले में ६ मई को किसान आंदोलन के दौरान पुलिस की गोलीबारी में पांच किसानों की मौत हो गई थी. जिसके बाद शिवराज सरकार द्वारा किसानों के हित में कई घोषणाएं करने के बावजूद भी इन नौ किसानों ने खुदकुशी की. इससे पहले आठ जून से लेकर बुधवार सुबह तक सात अन्य किसानों ने भी मध्यप्रदेश के विभिन्न भागों में कर्ज से परेशान होकर आत्महत्या की है. सूदखोरों के चंगुल में हैं एमपी के किसान: कांग्रेस मध्य प्रदेश विधानसभा में नेता प्रतिपक्ष अजय सिंह ने कहा कि मुख्यमंत्री स्वर्णिम मध्यप्रदेश का दावा करते हैं, मगर यहां के किसान सूदखोरों के चंगुल में हैं और आत्महत्या जैसे कदम उठाने को मजबूर हो रहे हैं. कांग्रेस नेता ने कहा कि बीते तीन दिनों में कर्ज के बोझ से दबे प्रदेश के छह किसानों ने आत्महत्या कर ली. होशंगाबाद के बाबई में किसान द्वारा आत्महत्या करना शिवराज सरकार के उन दावों की कलई खोलती है, जो ० प्रतिशत ब्याज पर कर्ज देने का दावा करती है. अगर ० प्रतिशत बयाज पर कर्ज मिल रहा है, तो किसान सूदखोरों के चंगुल में आज भी क्यों हैं? पूर्व केंद्रीय मंत्री और कांग्रेस सांसद ज्योतिरादित्य सिंधिया ने कहा कि मध्यप्रदेश की शिवराज सिंह चौहान की सरकार के हाथ खून से रंगे हुए हैं. ज्योतिरादित्यके सत्याग्रह मंच पर एक कार्यकर्ता ने शिवराज की नकल उतारी. टीटी नगर स्थित दशहरा मैदान में बुधवार से शुरू हुए कांग्रेस के ७२ घंटे के सत्याग्रह के दूसरे दिन गुरुवार को ज्योतिरादित्य ने कहा, मंदसौर में किसानों पर सरकार ने पुलिस से गोली चलवाई और छह किसानों की मौत हो गई, इस सरकार के हाथ खून से रंगे हुए हैं, मुख्यमंत्री चौहान को अपने पद से इस्तीफा दे देना चाहिए. गृह मंत्री राजनाथ सिंह की चुप्पी इसलिए भी ज्यादा चौंकाने वाली है क्योंकि वो देश के गृह मंत्री ही नहीं बल्कि खुद को किसानों के बड़े मसीहा के तौर पर भी पेश करना चाहते हैं. अटल बिहारी वाजपेयी सरकार में कृषि मंत्री रह चुके राजनाथ सिंह किसानों के समर्थन में बोलकर उनके प्रति हमदर्दी दिखाते रहे हैं. गांव, गरीब और किसान की बात करने वाले राजनाथ कुछ महीने पहले ही हुए यूपी विधानसभा चुनाव के वक्त किसानों के मुद्दे को जोर-शोर से उठा रहे थे. वादे कर रहे थे २०२२ तक किसानों की आमदनी को दोगुना कर दिया जाएगा. यूपी की सत्ता में आने के बाद किसानों की कर्ज माफी होगी और ऐसा हुआ भी. लेकिन, अब जबकि मंदसौर की आग ने धीरे-धीरे कई प्रदेशों को अपने आगोश में ले लिया तो उनकी रहस्यमयी चुप्पी को लेकर सवाल खड़े हो रहे हैं. हालांकि, देश में आंतरिक सुरक्षा का मामला हो या फिर कश्मीर में जारी आतंकवादी गतिविधियों का मामला उनकी तरफ से बयान जरूर आता है. आंतरिक मामलों की जिम्मेदारी उनके पास है लिहाजा आतंकवादी हमले या फिर नक्सल हमले के बाद उनकी तरफ से इस तरह की घटना की निंदा जरूर की जाती है. उत्तराखण्ड- सत्ता के गलियारों से प्रमुख खबरे- १५ जून १७ नौकरशाही बेचैन; टाइम बाउंड प्रमोशन की पुरानी परंपरा भंग

पति की इस हरकत ने पत्नी को सरेआम कर दिया नंगा, फुटेज हुई वाइरल | विज़न४न्यूज पति की इस हरकत ने पत्नी को सरेआम कर दिया नंगा, फुटेज हुई वाइरल कभी कभी इंसान कई मामलों में भूल कर बैठता है, और फिर उसे उसका खामियाजा भी भुगतना पड़ता है. ऐसा एक मामला सामने आया है. जहां एक शख्स ऑफिस जाते समय घर पर अपने डेस्कटॉप का कैमरा ऑफ करना भूल गया. लेकिन बाद में जब उसने डेस्कटॉप का कैमरा ऑन पाया तो उसकी फुटेज देखी. जिसे देखकर उसके होश उड़ गए. दरअसल, उसकी पत्नी और उसका एक दोस्त आपत्तिजनक हालत में कैमरे में कैद हो गए थे. हैरान करने वाला यह मामला उत्तरी पूर्वी चीन के मुडानजिआंग का है. जहां रहने वाले यांग के साथ ये मामला हुआ था. यांग के मुताबिक वो वीडियो २०१६ में रिकॉर्ड हुआ था. लेकिन वीडियो सामने आने के बाद से ही यांग ने अपनी पत्नी से तलाक लेने की कार्रवाई शुरू कर दी थी. बीते साल के अंत में दोनों का औपचारिक रूप से तलाक भी हो गया है. यांग ने हाल ही में इस घटना के बारे में मीडिया को जानकारी देते हुए बताया कि उस दिन उन्हें लगा था कि उनके सिस्टम का कैमरा खराब हो गया है, इसलिए उन्होंने उसे ऑफ भी नहीं किया था. लेकिन कैमरा चल रहा था. और उसी में उनकी पत्नी और दोस्त एक साथ अतरंग हालत में कैद हो गए थे. यांग का आरोप है कि उनकी पत्नी का उनके दोस्त के साथ अफेयर चल रहा था. पत्नी ने आरोपों को खारिज किया, बताया क्या हुआ था पूर्व पति का कहना है कि उन्हें संदेह हुआ कि पत्नी का मिस्टर लिऊ के साथ लंबा अफेयर था जिसे उन्होंने छिपाकर रखा। मिस्टर यांग ने स्थानीय अधिकारियों से भी अफेयर की शिकायत की, लेकिन उन्हें कोई जवाब नहीं दिया गया। कहीं से जवाब नहीं मिलने पर पति ने मीडिया के साथ फुटेज शेयर करने का फैसला किया। वहीं, उनकी पत्नी ने आरोपों को खारिज किया है और कहा कि है कि मिस्टर लिऊ और वह, एक सामान्य सहकर्मी रहे हैं। पूर्व पत्नी ने कहा कि मिस्टर लिऊ उस दिन नशे में थे और इसी वजह से ऐसा हो गया। उन्होंने कहा कि ऐसा सिर्फ एक बार हुआ। महिला ने कहा कि पूर्व पति की प्रतिक्रिया अपमानित करने वाली है। पूर्व पत्नी ने ये भी दावा किया कि वीडियो डैशकैम से नहीं बल्कि सीक्रेट कैमरा से पति ने रिकॉर्ड किया था। वहीं, स्थानीय अधिकारियों के मुताबिक, मिस्टर लिऊ मेयर के पद से रिटायर हो चुके हैं। प्रेवियस लोकसभा चुनाव के पहले चरण से ही बवाल हुआ शुरू, तोड़ दी गई ईवीएम मशीन नेक्स्ट भारतीय हमले से डरे पकिस्तान ने हिन्दू मंदिर को लेकर उठाया ये अनोखा कदम मई २३, २०१९ १,५५५
न्याय की गुहार लगाते-लगाते मौत की नींद सो गयी किरण, नहीं जगा सिस्टम - मधेपुरतिम्स होम / मधेपुरा / न्याय की गुहार लगाते-लगाते मौत की नींद सो गयी किरण, नहीं जगा सिस्टम न्याय की गुहार लगाते-लगाते मौत की नींद सो गयी किरण, नहीं जगा सिस्टम एक बहुत पुरानी कहावत है नीम हकीम खतरा-ए-जान। इसका अर्थ यह है कि ऐसा व्यक्ति जिसके पास डॉक्टरी का अधूरा ज्ञान है, वह आपकी जान खतरे में डाल सकता है। लेकिन अशिक्षा और जागरूकता के अभाव का आलम यह है कि बड़ी-बड़ी डिग्री लिखे आकर्षक बोर्ड के झांसे व बिचैलिये द्वारा दिलाए गए भरोसे की जद में आकर आसानी से ऐसे फर्जी डॉक्टर की चंगुल में लोग फंस जाते हैं, जो ईलाज के नाम पर सरेआम मौत बांट रहे होते हैं और इन फर्जी डॉक्टरों के खिलाफ सरकार व सिस्टम कुछ नहीं कर पाती. हाल में जिले भर में कई मामले सामने आ चुके है। मधेपुरा जिला मुख्यालय के भिरखी में भी एक महिला की मौत के मामले में फर्जी डॉक्टर सुदर्शन जेल जा चुका है. मधेपुरा जिले के पुरैनी मुख्यालय बाजार में कि पछले छः माह से आकर्षक और बड़ी-बड़ी डिग्री लिखी क्लिनिक उपचार के नाम पर सरेआम लोगों की जिन्दगी से खेलते रहे नीतु सेवा सदन के नाम से एक फर्जी क्लिनिक संचालित कर जहां अबतक सैकड़ों विभिन्न प्रकार के ऑपरेशन को अंजाम दिया चुका है, वहीं उक्त क्लिनिक में जहां प्रसव के साथ-साथ, सिजेरियन ऑपरेशन तथा एपेंडिसाइटिस सहित विभिन्न प्रकार का ऑपरेशन भी किया जाता रहा है। वहीं बताया जा रहा है कि नीतु सेवा सदन में अबतक जितना भी मरीजों का ऑपरेशन हुआ, उन्हें न तो पुर्जा दिया जाता है और न ही दवाई का वाउचर. सब मौखिक, यहां तक कि दवाई भी स्वयं नीतु सेवा सदन के द्वारा ही दिया जाता है। मामला प्रकाश में तब आया जब पुरैनी के डुमरैल निवासी मनोज राम की पत्नी किरण देवी का ऑपरेशन भी उक्त क्लिनिक में हुआ और जब ऑपरेशन के उपरान्त मरीज की हालत गंभीर हो गयी तो डाक्टर ने यहाँ उसे डरा धमका कर भगा दिया. फिर पीडिता के पति द्वारा अपनी पत्नी को पूर्णियां और फिर मायांगज, भागलपुर इलाज को ले जाया गया तो पता चला की मरीज अब बचने के लायक नहीं है. उधर गरीबी व बेबसी के मारे मनोज राम अपनी पत्नी को घर ले आए और मामले को लेकर थाना व पीएचसी में लिखित आवेदन देकर उक्त फर्जी डॉक्टर के खिलाफ कारवाई की गुहार लगायी. लेकिन सप्ताह बीत गये कुछ नहीं हुआ. इसी बीच दूसरी तरफ बुधवार की देर रात्रि में मनोज राम की पत्नी किरण देवी सदा के लिए नींद में सो गई। मौत के बाद प्रशासन व डॉक्टर के खिलाफ आक्रोषित होकर परिजन शव को लेकर पुरैनी थाना पहुंचे जहां मृतका के पति के द्वारा पुरैनी थाना में आवेदन देकर प्राथमिकी की मांग की गयी. वहीं शव को पोस्टर्माटम हेतु सदर अस्पताल मधेपुरा भेज दिया गया। इस बाबत थानाध्यक्ष राजेश कुमार रंजन ने बताया कि मृतका के पति द्वारा डॉक्टर के खिलाफ दिये गए आवेदन पर प्राथमिकी दर्ज की जा रही है. फिलहाल शव को पोस्टमार्टम हेतु मधेपुरा भेज दिया गया है। न्याय की गुहार लगाते-लगाते मौत की नींद सो गयी किरण, नहीं जगा सिस्टम रेवीव्द बाय मधेपुरा टाइम्स ऑन नोवंबर ०९, २०१७ रेटिंग: ५

अमेरिका के साथ व्यापार सहमति के उपायों को तत्काल लागू करेगा चीन चीन ने कहा कि वह अमेरिका के साथ अपने पक्ष में कारोबारी सरप्लस घटाने के लिए अमेरिका से ज्यादा उत्पादों का आयात करेगा। ... बीजिंग, एएफपी। चीन ने कहा है कि अमेरिका के साथ ट्रेड वार खत्म करने के लिए बनी सहमति के उपायों को वह तत्काल लागू करेगा। चीन के वाणिज्य मंत्रालय का यह बयान कारोबारी विवाद सुलझाने के लिए अमेरिकी राष्ट्रपति डोनाल्ड ट्रंप और चीन के राष्ट्रपति शी चिनफिंग के बीच सहमति बनने के बाद आया है। दोनों नेताओं ने विवाद सुलझाने के लिए वार्ताकारों को ९० दिनों का समय देने पर सहमति जताई है। वाणिज्य मंत्रालय के प्रवक्ता जाओ फेंग ने नियमित प्रेस ब्रीफिंग में कहा कि दोनों पक्षों के बीच जिन बिंदुओं पर सहमति बनी है, उन पर तत्काल अमल किया जाएगा। इनमें कृषि उत्पाद, एनर्जी, ऑटो और अन्य कुछ आयटम शामिल हैं। दोनों पक्ष बौद्धिक संपदा संरक्षण, तकनीकी सहयोग, बाजार पहुंच और न्यायोचित व्यापार पर बातचीत करेंगे और सहमति बनाने के लिए कठोर परिश्रम करेंगे। हालांकि प्रवक्ता ने चीन द्वारा किए जाने वाले उपायों के बारे में और विवरण नहीं दिया। इस बीच, व्हाइट हाउस ने कहा है कि व्यापार घाटे को कम करने के लिए चीन कृषि, एनर्जी, औद्योगिक व अन्य उत्पाद बड़ी मात्रा में खरीदने को सहमत हो गया है। वह अमेरिकी किसानों से उत्पाद तुरंत खरीदना शुरू करेगा। दोनों पक्ष टेक्नोलॉजी ट्रांसफर, बौद्धिक संपदा संरक्षण, साइबर अपराध, सेवा और कृषि क्षेत्र में ढांचागत बदलाव के लिए बातचीत करेंगे। चीन ने कहा कि वह अमेरिका के साथ अपने पक्ष में कारोबारी सरप्लस घटाने के लिए अमेरिका से ज्यादा उत्पादों का आयात करेगा। हालांकि उसने इसकी कीमत का उल्लेख नहीं किया है। ट्रंप ने कहा था कि चीन कारों पर ४० फीसद शुल्क हटाएगा लेकिन जाओ ने अपने बयान में इसका उल्लेख नहीं किया। जाओ का यह बयान कनाडा में हुआवे की शीर्ष अधिकारी की गिरफ्तारी से कुछ घंटों पहले आया। इस गिरफ्तारी से अमेरिका व चीन के बीच रिश्ते फिर प्रभावित हो सकते हैं। ट्रेड वार से सभी देशों को नुकसान : डब्ल्यूटीओ विश्व व्यापार संगठन (डब्ल्यूटीओ) के प्रमुख रॉबेर्टो एजेवेडो ने चेतावनी दी है कि ग्लोबल ट्रेड वार से सभी देशों को नुकसान होगा। अमेरिकी राष्ट्रपति डोनाल्ड ट्रंप की आलोचना के शिकार हुए डब्ल्यूटीओ प्रमुख ने सुधारों की जरूरत पर बल दिया। उन्होंने उस बयान को खारिज कर दिया कि व्यापार के कारण नौकरियां जा रही हैं।
प्रधानमंत्री नरेन्द्र मोदी त्रिपुरा में दो महत्वपूर्ण चुनावी रैलियों को संबोधित करने के लिए आज राज्य के दौरे पर आयेंगे। इससे पहले प्रधानमंत्री ने आठ फरवरी को पहला चुनावी दौरा किया था। राज्य में १८ फरवरी को विधान सभा चुनाव होना है। आधिकारिक सूत्रों के अनुसार मोदी की रैलियों के लिए सुरक्षा के कड़े प्रबंध किये गये हैं। प्रधानमंत्री दक्षिणी त्रिपुरा जिले के शांतिर बाजार में पहले चुनावी रैली को संबोधित करेंंगे और इसके बाद वह राजधानी अगरतला में एक महत्वपूर्ण जनसभा को संबोधित करेंगे। सबकी निगाहें श्री मोदी की चुनावी रैलियों पर होगी। गत विधान सभा चुनाव में भाजपा का वोट प्रतिशत मात्र १.५७ था जो 20१4 के आम चुनाव में बढकर ५.७ प्रतिशत हो गया। इस बार पार्टी की स्थिति काफी मजबूत मानी जा रही है और यह 2५ साल से राज्य में शासन कर रही मार्क्सवादी कम्युनिस्ट पार्टी(माकपा) को कड़ी टक्कर दे रही है। मोदी ने अपनी पिछली चुनावी रैली में राज्य की माणिक सरकार पर तंज कसते हुए कहा था कि इस राज्य को गलत 'माणिक' मिल गया है, उसे 'हीरा' की जरूरत है। माणिक गलत तरीके से धारण किया जाये तो वह नुकसान पहुंचाता है। हीरा से उनका अभिप्राय हाईवे, आईवेज, रोड्स और एयरवेज था। इस बीच कांग्रेस सूत्रों के अनुसार पार्टी अध्यक्ष राहुल गांधी कैलाशहर में पार्टी की चुनावी रैली को संबोधित करने के लिए आने वाले हैं। त्रिपुरा कांग्रेस प्रदेश अध्यक्ष बिराजित सिन्हा कैलाशहर से दूसरी बार चुनाव मैदान में खड़े हैं। सिन्हा त्रिकोणीय चुनौती का समाना कर रहे हैं। माकपा के उम्मीदवार एम अली और भारतीय जनता पार्टी(भाजपा) के उम्मीदवार नीतीश देव से उन्हें कड़ी टक्कर मिल रही है। देव माकपा छोड़कर भाजपा में आये हैं। राज्य की ६० सदस्यीय विधानसभा के लिए १८ फरवरी को मतदान होगा और तीन मार्च को चुनाव परिणाम घोषित किये जाएंगे।

ममता ने देशभर में घूमकर विपक्ष को साथ लाने का बीड़ा उठाया पश्चिम बंगाल की मुख्यमंत्री और तृणमूल कांग्रेस की प्रमुख ममता बनर्जी पूरे देश में घूमकर विपक्षी पार्टियों को साथ लाएंगी और यूनाइटेड फ्रंट बनाने की कोशिश करेंगी ताकि वर्ष २०१९ के लोकसभा चुनावों में भाजपा को कड़ी चुनौती दी जा सके. उनकी ये राजनीतिक यात्रा गुरुवार को दिल्ली से शुरू होगी, जहां सोनिया गांधी ने सभी विपक्षी पार्टियों की एक मीटिंग है. इसमें ममता के अलावा आरजेडी प्रमुख लालू प्रसाद यादव, बसपा प्रमुख मायावती, एनसीपी प्रमुख शरद पवार, ओडिया के मुख्यमंत्री और बीजेडी के अध्यक्ष नवीन पटनायक के साथ उप्र के मुख्यमंत्री अखिलेश यादव के शामिल होने की संभावना है. तृणमूल कांग्रेस बंगाल में भारतीय जनता पार्टी के साथ कड़े सियासी मुकाबले का सामना कर रही है. भाजपा लगातार वहां भाजपा द्वारा एक के बाद एक खड़ी की जा रही चुनौतियों का सामना कर रही है. ममता ने कांग्रेस नेता अहमद पटेल को राज्यसभा चुनाव जीतने पर बधाई दी. लोकतंत्र जीत गया मिदनापुर में एक जनसभा में उन्होंने भाजपा भारत छोड़ो आंदोलन का भी आगाज कर दिया है. उन्होंने इस जनसभा में पटेल की जीत का उल्लेख करते हुए कहा, हम सभी ने लोकतंत्र और तानाशाही के बीच लड़ाई देखी. खुशी की बात है कि आखिरकार तमाम बाधाओं के बावजूद लोकतंत्र जीतने में कामयाब रहा. उन्होंने कहा, मैं तृणमूल कांग्रेस के भाजपा भारत छोड़ो आंदोलन को लेकर राष्ट्रीय समर्थन जुटाने के लिए अन्य राज्यों का भी दौरा करुंगी. दिल्ली के बाद मैं २७ अगस्त को पटना में भाजपा विरोधी रैली में शामिल होऊंगी. ३० अगस्त को झारखंड जाऊंगी, जहां दलितों के खिलाफ लगातार दमनचक्र चल रहा है. मैं केंद्र से भाजपा को उखाड़ फेंकने तक शांत बैठने वाली नहीं. भाजपा अध्यक्ष अमित शाह पर हमला करते हुए बनर्जी ने कहा, ये बाहरी व्यक्ति बंगाल आया, एक ओर उन्होंने उत्तरी बंगाल में एक दलित के घर खाना खाया वहीं दूसरी ओर उनकी पार्टी के लोग पूरे भारत में दलितों पर जुल्म ढहा रहे हैं. तृणमूल ने बंगाल में विधानसभा क्षेत्र और ब्लाक स्तर पर भाजपा भारत छोड़ो आंदोलन शुरू कर दिया है, जो पांच सितंबर तक चलेगा. दुर्गा पूजा के ब्रेक के बाद पार्टी फिर केंद्र की सत्ताधारी पार्टी के बाद अपने आंदोलन को तेज करेगी, जो वर्ष २०१९ के चुनावों तक चलता रहेगा.

अवैध डेयरियों के खिलाफ २१ से चलेगा ऑपरेशन एल आउट, हाईकोर्ट के आदेश पर प्रशासन सख्त १०३४ डेयरियां हैं शहर के रिहायशी इलाकों में। डीएम ने की नगर आयुक्त और एसएसपी संग बैठक। २० तक का समय खुद नहीं हटे तो जबरन हटाए जाएंगे। लखनऊ, जेएनएन। रिहायशी इलाकों में चल रही अवैध डेयरियों की वजह से दरुगध और सड़कों पर घूमते मवेशियों से जल्द राहत मिलेगी। अफसरों का दावा है कि २१ जून से शहरी इलाके में अवैध डेयरियां नजर नहीं आएंगी। शहरवासियों की परेशानी का कारण बनीं १०३४ अवैध डेयरियों को हटाने की उल्टी गिनती शुरू हो गई है। दरअसल, हाईकोर्ट ने २१ मई को अपने आदेश में बेसहारा पशुओं को पकड़ने के साथ ही डेयरियों को शहरी सीमा से हटाने को कहा था। इसी के मद्देनजर मंगलवार को जिलाधिकारी डॉ. कौशल राज शर्मा ने एसएसपी कलानिधि नैथानी और नगर आयुक्त डॉ. इंद्रमणि त्रिपाठी ने अधिकारियों के साथ बैठक की। नगर आयुक्त डॉ. इंद्रमणि त्रिपाठी ने बताया कि डेयरियां हटाने की कार्ययोजना बन गई है। डेयरी संचालकों को बीस जून तक पशुओं को शहर से बाहर ले जाने को कहा गया है, अगर तय समय पर यह नहीं हुआ तो २१ जून से नगर निगम, जिला प्रशासन और पुलिस डेयरियों को बलपूर्वक हटाएगी। एक डेयरी में २० से ५० तक मवेशी हाईकोर्ट के आदेश के बाद नगर निगम की गिनती में डेयरियों की १०३४ संख्या और वहां पशुओं के मात्र आठ हजार पता चली थी। हालांकि इस संख्या पर पर सवाल खड़े हुए। हकीकत यह है कि एक डेयरी में बीस से लेकर पचास तक पशु हैं। गंदगी की वजह बनीं खदरा में कुछ साल पहले संक्रामक रोगों से हुई मौतों के लिए डेयरियों की गंदगी को कारण माना गया था। नालियों में ही गोबर को बहाया जाता है। पुलिस व नगर निगम की सेहत का कारण बनी डेयरियों के संचालक दंबगई भी करते हैं और शिकायतकर्ता को धमकाते भी हैं। कल्याणपुर में तो विरोध करने वालों को डेयरी संचालकों ने मारा पीटा भी था। पहले भी आए आदेश २७ मई १९९९ को भी हाईकोर्ट ने शहरी सीमा से डेयरियों को हटाने का आदेश दिया था। कोर्ट के आदेश पर नगर निगम व पुलिस ने संयुक्त अभियान चलाते हुए करीब ३५ सौ डेयरियों को शहरी सीमा से बाहर किया था। शहरी सीमा में दोबारा डेयरी न चलें, यह जिम्मा पुलिस का था। इसके बावजूद ये डेयरियां फिर खुल गई हैं। इसके बाद कोर्ट ने २१ मई को फिर डेयरियां हटाने का आदेश दिया। यहां बनाई गई थी कैटल कॉलोनी डेयरियां शिफ्ट करने के लिए वर्ष १९९९ में हाईकोर्ट के आदेश पर कैटल कॉलोनी बनी थी। बालागंज, पारा के मुन्नू खेड़ा में अैर इंदिरानगर तकरोही में यह कॉलोनी बनी थीं, यहां डेयरियां खुलीं, कुछ दिन बाद फिर डेयरियां शहर में पहुंच गईं। कई बार हुई कवायद हाईकोर्ट सख्ती दिखाता है तो डेयरियां हटाने की कवायद शुरू हो जाती है। इस बार फिर तेजी दिखाई जा रही है। अब देखना है कि इस बार कवायद कितनी सफल हो पाती है। नगर निगम ने तय की सीमा फैजाबाद रोड पर चिनहट, सीतापुर रोड पर सेमरा गांव, कानपुर रोड पर दारोगा खेड़ा, सुलतानपुर रोड पर कटाई का पुल, रायबरेली रोड पर पीजीआइ के आगे ही डेयरियां खोली जा सकती हैं। इन इलाकों में ज्यादा आतंक गोमतीनगर के ग्वारी, उजरियांव, जियामऊ, इंदिरानगर, अलीगंज, जानकीपुरम, आलमबाग, सवरेदयनगर, रहीमनगर, कल्याणपुर, महानगर, कानपुर रोड एलडीए कालोनी, मानसनगर, आलमनगर, कृष्णानगर, खदरा, डालीगंज, त्रिवेणीनगर समेत शहर के अन्य क्षेत्रों में। # आदेश पर प्रशासन सख्त # अवैध डेयरियों के खिलाफ ऑपरेशन

दिल्ली से पेरिस जा रही एयर फ्रांस की एक फ्लाइट में उस वक्त यात्रियों के लिए अजीबोगरीब स्थिति पैदा हो गई, जब उनसे तकनीकी खामी के कारण विमान से उतर जाने को कहा गया। एयर फ्रांस की फ्लाइट में हुआ ये वाकया फ्लाइट नई दिल्ली से पेरिस जा रही थी यात्रियों से अचानक उतर जाने को कहा गया नई दिल्ली : राष्ट्रीय राजधानी दिल्ली स्थित इंदिरा गांधी अंतरराष्ट्रीय हवाईअड्डे पर उस वक्त यात्रियों के लिए अजीबोगरीब स्थिति पैदा हो गई, जब उनसे तकनीकी खामियों के कारण विमान से उतर जाने को कहा गया। ये लोग एयर फ्रांस की उड़ान संख्या एएफ२२५ में सवार हुए थे, जो दिल्ली से पेरिस जा रही थी। इसी बीच एयर फ्रांस के कर्मचारियों ने किन्हीं 'तकनीकी खराबी' का हवाला देते हुए २६ यात्रियों से अपने सामान के साथ उतर जाने को कहा, ताकि विमान उड़ान भर सके। इसका एक एक वीडियो भी सामने आया है, जिसमें एयर फ्रांस के स्टाफ यात्रियों से अपने सामान के साथ स्वेच्छा से विमान से उतर जाने के लिए कहते हैं। उन्होंने यात्रियों से कहा कि कुछ तकनीकी खराबी के कारण विमान के उड़ान भरने में दिक्कत आ रही है और इसलिए कुछ यात्रियों का सामान उतारा जाएगा, जिसके बाद ही विमान उड़ान भर सकेगा। ऐसे में कुछ यात्रियों का विमान से उतर जाना आवश्यक है, ताकि यह उड़ान भर सके। उन्होंने यह फैसला यात्रियों को स्वेच्छा से करने के लिए कहा। पहले तो यात्रियों को कुछ समझ नहीं आया, पर बाद में कई यात्री विमान से उतर गए। घटना मंगलवार आधी रात के आसपास हुई। फिलहाल यह स्पष्ट नहीं है कि जिन यात्रियों को विमान से उतरने के लिए कहा गया था, उन्हें वापस अगली फ्लाइट से पेरिस भेजा गया या नहीं, जैसा कि आम तौर पर ऐसे मामलों में होता है। मुंबई एयरपोर्ट के मुख्य रनवे पर कई दिनों से फंसे स्पाइसजेट' के विमान को हटाया गया, परिचालन शुरू फ्रांस के नाइस एयरपोर्ट पर इसी से मिलती-जुलती एक अन्य घटना में जब यात्री को यह बताया गया कि उसका बैग बहुत भारी है और उन्हें चेक-इन करने के लिए अतिरिक्त शुल्क देना होगा तो उन्होंने बिना देरी किए एयरपोर्ट पर ही एक-एक कर १५ शर्ट पहन लिए, ताकि वह अपना सामान हल्का कर सकें। बाद में उनके बेटे ने एक ट्वीट कर इस बारे में जानकारी दी और वीडियो भी शेयर किया, जिसमें वह कहते सुने जा रहे हैं कि उन्होंने अतिरिक्त शर्ट और जंपर्स पहन रखे हैं। यह शख्स ग्लासगो का रहने वाला बताया जा रहा है, जो फ्रांस के नाइस एयरपोर्ट से एडिनबर्ग जा रहा था।

भाजपा से निकाले गए मंतु, अब रमन पर निशाना अंतागढ़ कांड़ में कांग्रेस है पीडि़त पक्ष विपक्षी दलों पर भारी पड़ रहा है साढे़ सात रायपुर(रेल्टाइम्स) बहुचर्चित अंतागढ़ टेप कांड़ (एंटागढ़ तपे केश)के केंद्र बिंदु पूर्व विधायक मंतुराम पवार (मंतुरम पॉवर)को भाजपा (ब्जप)ने पार्टी से बाहर कर दिया है। शनिवार ७ तारीख को जब उन्होंने धारा १६४ के तहत कलमबंद बयान दर्ज करवाया था,तभी से माना जा रहा था कि मंतुराम का पार्टी निकाला तय है,लेकिन पार्टी ने पूरे तीन दिन बाद यह कदम उठाया। दूसरी ओर पार्टी से बाहर होने के फौरन बाद मंतुराम ने पूर्व मुख्यमंत्री डॉ.रमन सिंह पर निशाना साधा है,सवाल उठाया है कि उनके खिलाफ अनुशासनहीनता के आरोप में कार्यवाही क्यों नहीं हो रही है। पांच साल बाद बोला सच या झूठ मंतुराम ने पूरे पांच साल बाद अपना बयान बदला है। इस शनिवार को रायपुर में मजिस्टेट के समक्ष जो बयान दिया है उसमें जुबान पूरी तरह उलटी हुई है। अभी का बोला सच माना जाएगा या पहले वाला झूठ सही होगा इसका फैसला जांच एजेंसिया और न्यायालय करेगा,लेकिन खास बात ये है कि इस पूरे मामले में दो पूर्व मुख्यमंत्री डॉ.रमन सिंह व अजीत जोगी सपरिवार निशाने पर आ गए हैं। कांग्रेस है पीडि़त पक्ष राज्य की सत्ताधारी पार्टी कांग्रेस अंतागढ़ टेप कांड़ का पीड़ित पक्ष है। २०१४ में जब भूपेश बघेल के प्रदेश कांग्रेस अध्यक्ष बनने के बाद हुए पहले चुनाव में कांग्रेस की जमकर किरकिरी इस चुनाव ने करवाई थी,तब कांग्रेस प्रत्याशी रहे मंतुराम ने नामांकन वापसी के बाद मैदान छोड़कर कांग्रेस को चुनाव मैदान से बाहर कर दिया था। इसके बाद जब अंतागढ़ से जुड़े टेप सामने आए तो पता लगा कि साढ़े सात करोड़ रूपए की डील करके मैदान छुड़वाया गया। मंतुराम ने पांच साल बाद यही बात कानूनी रूप से उगली है। तब से प्रदेश की सियासत में डॉ.रमन सिंह निशाने पर आ गए हैं, उनके साथ अजीत जोगी अमित जोगी, भाजपा सरकार के पूर्व पीडब्लुडी मंत्री राजेश मूनत के खिलाफ मामले का शिकंजा कस सकता है। इसी केस के चक्कर में जोगी परिवार कांग्रेस से बाहर हुआ है, साथ ही यह मामला भाजपा के लिए मुसीबत बनता जा रहा है। कांग्रेस ने कहा सच बोलने वाली के लिए भाजपा में जगह नहीं मंतूराम पवार के भाजपा से निष्कासन के समाचारों पर कांग्रेसंचार विभाग के अध्यक्ष शैलेश नितिन त्रिवेदी ने कहा है की मंतूराम जब तक भाजपा और भाजपा की बी टीम के कहने से काम करते रहे तब तक रमन सिंह और धर्म लाल कौशिक तक ने उनका स्वागत किया अभिनंदन किया। अंतागढ़ मामले में सच बोलते ही मंतूराम को भाजपा ने निकाल बाहर किया। इससे स्पष्ट है कि भाजपा में सच बोलने वालों की कोई जगह नहीं है। मंतु के कांग्रेस प्रवेश का आवेदन अभी नहीं आया मंतूराम के कांग्रेस प्रवेश के सवालों पर कांग्रेस संचार विभाग के अध्यक्ष शैलेश नितिन त्रिवेदी ने कहा है कि मंतूराम पवार हमारे संपर्क में नहीं है । अभी मंतूराम पवार का कांग्रेस प्रवेश के लिए कोई आवेदन कांग्रेस को नहीं मिला है। कांग्रेस प्रवेश के आवेदनों पर गुण दोष के आधार पर नेतृत्व द्वारा विचार किया जाता है। अब जमानत के लिए मची खलबली- विकास तिवारी छत्तीसगढ़ प्रदेश कांग्रेस कमेटी के सचिव एवं प्रवक्ता विकास तिवारी ने कहा कि अंतागढ़ में जिस प्रकार से पूर्व मुख्यमंत्री एवं भाजपा के राष्ट्रीय उपाध्यक्ष रमन सिंह, पूर्व पीडब्लूडी मंत्री राजेश मूणत, पूर्व मुख्यमंत्री अजीत जोगी, अमित जोगी ने सात करोड़ देकर लोकतंत्र की हत्या की और अब भाजपा के कार्यकारिणी सदस्य मंगतूराम ने कोर्ट में धारा १६४ के तहत बयान दर्ज करवाया तो भाजपा और उनके बी-टीम में खलबली मच गयी और अग्रिम जमानत के लिये न्यायालय में दौड़ लगा रहे है। तात्कालीन कांग्रेस कमेटी के प्रदेश अध्यक्ष भूपेश बघेल पर जब जमीन आंबटन मामले में रमन सरकार ने आरोप लगाया तो उन्होंने बिना देरी किये दस्तावेजो सहित ईओडब्लू ऑफिस परिवार सहित पहुंचकर अपने और परिवारजनों पर लगे झूठे एवं बेबुनियाद आरोपो का बिन्दुवार जवाब भी प्रस्तुत किया था। मुख्यमंत्री भूपेश बघेल और उनके परिजनों को झूठे जमीन आंबटन मामले में फसाने वाले षडयंत्रकारी उस समय भूपेश बघेल को गिरफ्तार करने की हिम्मत नहीं जुटा पाये थे क्योंकि वो पाक साफ और बेदाग थे। तिवारी ने कहा है कि पुलिस जब पूर्व मुख्यमंत्री डॉ. रमन सिंह के दामाद पुनित गुप्ता, पूर्व मुख्यमंत्री अजीत जोगी, अमित जोगी से वाइस सैंपल मांग रही है तो वे पुलिस का सहयोग नहीं कर रहे है और न्यायालय की शरण में अग्रिम जमानत के लिये गुहार लगा रहे है। स्पष्ट है कि मुख्यमंत्री भूपेश बघेल ने जिस प्रकार बिना डरे कानून का सामना किया और ईओडब्लू ऑफिस में प्रस्तुत भी हुवे, उनके द्वारा कभी भी न्यायालय में अग्रिम जमानत के लिये गुहार भी नहीं लगाया गया था तो पूर्व मुख्यमंत्री डॉ. रमन सिंह के दामाद पुनित गुप्ता, अजित जोगी, अमित जोगी और राजेश मूणत क्यों भयभीत है कुछ ने अग्रिम जमानत ली हुई है और कुछ अग्रिम जमानत के लिये आवेदन प्रस्तुत किये हुये है। क्यों नहीं वह मुख्यमंत्री भूपेश बघेल की तरह निडर होकर कानून का सामना नहीं कर पा रहे और न ही अपना वाईस सैंपल दे रहे है। इससे छत्तीसगढ़ की जनता समझ चुकी है कि भाजपा और उनकी बी-टीम ने ही अंतागढ़ चुनाव में लोकतंत्र की खरीद-फरोख्त करके छत्तीसगढ़ को पूरे विश्वपटल में शर्मशार किया था। देश की गिरती अर्थव्यवस्था के लिए मोदी सरकार जिम्मेदार- कुरैशी प्रेवियस आर्टियल मोदी सरकार-२ के १०० दिनों में निवेशकों के 1२.५ लाख करोड़ डूबे

नई दिल्ली। देश में स्टेनलेस स्टील के प्रति व्यक्ति खपत आठ साल में शत प्रतिशत से अधिक बढ़कर २०१९ में २.५ किलो प्रति व्यक्ति पर पहुंच गयी जो वर्ष २0१0 में १.२ किलोग्राम प्रति व्यक्ति थी। इस्पात राज्य मंत्री फग्गन सिंह कुलस्ते ने इंडियन स्टेनलेस स्टील डेवलपमेंट एसोसिएशन (आईएसएसडीए) की स्थापना की ३०वीं वर्षगांठ के मौके पर आयोजित समारोह के उद्घाटन के दौरान यह जानकारी दी। उन्होंने कहा कि इस तरह अब भारत प्रति व्यक्ति स्टेनलेस स्टील खपत के लिहाज़ से विश्व के शीर्ष १५ देशों में शामिल हो गया है। आईएसएसडीए के नेतृत्व में घरेलू स्टेनलेस स्टील उद्योग के सहयोगात्मक प्रयास और इस्पात मंत्रालय की उद्योग समर्थक नीतियों की मदद से यह मील का पत्थर हासिल करना संभव हुआ। वास्तुशिल्प, भवन एवं निर्माण (एबीसी), वाहन, रेलवे एवं परिवहन (एआरटी), प्रसंकरण उद्योग एवं घरेलू उपयोग के उपकरण और रसोई के बर्तन आदि जैसे विभिन्न खंडों में स्टेनलेस स्टील की मांग बढ़ने के कारण प्रति व्यक्ति खपत में बढ़ोतरी संभव हुई। कुलस्ते ने कहा कि भारत के लिए २.५किलो प्रति व्यक्ति खपत के उपभोग स्तर तक पहुंचना गर्व की बात है। भारत में स्टेनलेस स्टील की मांग की वृद्धि दर ६ से७ प्रतिशत वार्षिक है, जो दुनिया में सबसे अधिक भी है क्योंकि स्टेनलेस स्टील की मांग सीधे आर्थिक विकास से जुड़ी है। स्टेनलेस स्टील से न केवल जीवन चक्र लागत कम होती है, बल्कि जीवन की समग्र गुणवत्ता में सुधार होता है। आईएसएसडीए के अध्यक्ष के के पाहुजा ने कहा कि भारतीय स्टेनलेस स्टील उद्योग के लिए दिशा निर्देशक के तौर पर आईएसएसडीए अपनी स्थापना के समय से ही विभिन्न उद्योगों में स्टेनलेस स्टील के नए उपयोग किस्म के उपयोग को प्रोत्साहन दे रहा है। बहुत कम समय में ही २.५ किलो प्रति व्यक्ति खपत का स्तर प्राप्त करने के साथ भारत एक ऐतहासिक मोड़ पर पहुँच गया है और उन देशों की कतार में शामिल हो गया है जहाँ स्टेनलेस स्टील की खपत अधिक है। भारत स्टेनलेस स्टील के लिए सबसे अधिक तेज़ी से वृद्धि दर्ज़ करता बाज़ार है। आईएसएसडीए घरेलू उद्योग और सरकार को अपने निरंतर सहयोग के प्रति आभार जताता है ।

हिमाचल प्रदेश और उत्तराखंड जैसे राज्यों में कुछ खास इलाकों में कारखाने लगाने पर एक्साइज ड्यूटी में मिलने वाली छूट के चलते बड़े निवेश करने वाली कंपनियों को दिक्कत नहीं होगी क्योंकि सरकार गुड्स ऐंड सर्विसेज टैक्स सिस्टम के तहत रीइंबर्समेंट स्कीम लागू करने की दिशा में काम कर रही है। इंडस्ट्रियल पॉलिसी एंड प्रमोशन डिपार्टमेंट ने जीएसटी रिम्बर्समेंट स्कीम को अंतिम रूप दे दिया है और एक्सपेंडिचर फाइनेंस कमेटी इस पर जल्द विचार करेगी। यह जानकारी दो वरिष्ठ सरकारी अधिकारियों ने ईटी को दी। एक अधिकारी ने कहा, 'यह तो सरकार की प्रतिबद्धता है। यह काम किया जाएगा।' जीएसटी सिस्टम में किसी भी तरह की टैक्स छूट की व्यवस्था नहीं है और टैक्स रिफंड के रूप में ही इंसेंटिव्स दिए जा सकते हैं। स्पेशल कैटेगरी वाले राज्यों और हिमाचल प्रदेश, उत्तराखंड जैसे पहाड़ी राज्यों और पूर्वोत्तर के राज्यों में कारखाने लगाने वालों को एक्साइज ड्यूटी जैसे सेंट्रल टैक्स और उन राज्यों में एरिया बेस्ड एग्जेम्प्शन स्कीम के तहत राज्य स्तर के कुछ करों को चुकाने से छूट मिलती है। ऐसा इन राज्यों में औद्योगीकरण को बढ़ावा देने के लिए किया गया है। इंडस्ट्री को उम्मीद थी कि जीएसटी लागू करने से पहले स्कीम लागू कर दी जाएगी। ऑटोमोबाइल, फार्मा और एफएमसीजी सेक्टरों की कई कंपनियों ने इन राज्यों में यूनिट्स लगाई हैं। उनके लिए रिम्बर्समेंट स्कीम अहम है क्योंकि इससे उनके प्रॉडक्ट्स की प्राइसिंग पर असर पड़ेगा। दूसरे अधिकारी ने कहा, 'मामला जल्द सुलझा लिया जाएगा।' ३० जून को आधी रात से लागू हुए जीएसटी ने १७ केंद्रीय और राज्य स्तरीय करों के अलावा २३ सेस की जगह ली है। प्रॉडक्ट्स के आधार पर मिलने वाले कई एग्जेम्प्शंस इस नए इनडायरेक्ट टैक्स सिस्टम के तहत खत्म कर दिए गए हैं, लेकिन एरिया बेस्ड एग्जेम्प्शंस को बचाया जाएगा। अर्न्स्ट एंड यंग के पार्टनर बिपिन सपरा ने कहा, 'इंडस्ट्री उम्मीद कर रही है कि सेंट्रल एक्साइज सिस्टम में मिलने वाले एरिया बेस्ड एग्जेम्प्शंस के तहत बेनेफिट्स को जीएसटी में भी जारी रखने का नोटिफिकेशन जल्द आएगा। इस बीच की स्थिति पर भी स्पष्टता की जरूरत है।' हालांकि केंद्र सरकार आंशिक राहत ही देगी यानी सेंट्रल जीएसटी के केंद्र सरकार वाले हिस्से पर। राज्यों को स्टेट जीएसटी वाले हिस्से पर अलग से निर्णय करना होगा। अभी पूर्ववर्ती एक्साइज फ्री जोन की यूनिट्स को जीएसटी (सेंट्रल जीएसटी सहित) चुकाना होगा। उनके पास यह टैक्स चुकाने के लिए २० अगस्त तक का वक्त है। उसके पास उन्हें सीजीएसटी कंपोनेंट के रिफंड के लिए क्लेम करना होगा। इसकी गाइडलाइंस जल्द आने की उम्मीद है। पीडब्ल्यूसी में लीडर (इनडायरेक्ट टैक्स) प्रतीक जैन ने कहा, 'अगर रिफंड को सीजीएसटी कंपोनेंट के ५८ पर्सेंट तक सीमित किया गया, जैसा कि सरकार ने पहले संकेत दिया था, तो इंडस्ट्री को मिलने वाला बेनेफिट काफी कम हो जाएगा। पहले यह मोटे तौर पर १२.५ पर्सेंट था।'

नवरात्रि (नवरात्रि २०१८) नवरात्रि क्टी मानते हैं शक्ति उपासना का पर्व नवरात्रि क्यों मनाया जाता है और माँ दुर्गा की आराधना क्यों की जाती है; इसको लेकर दो कथाएँ प्रचलित हैं। एक कथा के अनुसार लंका युद्ध में ब्रह्माजी ने श्रीराम से रावण-वध के लिए चंडी देवी का पूजन कर देवी को प्रसन्न करने को कहा और विधि के अनुसार चंडी पूजन और हवन हेतु दुर्लभ १०८ नीलकमल की व्यवस्था भी करा दी। वहीं दूसरी ओर रावण ने भी अमरत्व प्राप्त करने के लिए चंडी पाठ प्रारंभ कर दिया। यह बात पवन के माध्यम से इन्द्रदेव ने श्रीराम तक पहुँचवा दी।नवरात्रि २०१८ नवरात्रि की द्वितीय कथा(नवरात्रि २०१८) नवरात्रि २०१८ क्यू मानते हैं ? कालरात्रि देवी माँ के सबसे क्रूर,सबसे भयंकर रूप का नाम है| दुर्गा का यह रूप ही प्रकृति के प्रकोप का कारण है| प्रकृति के प्रकोप से कहीं भूकंप, कहीं बाढ़ और कहीं सुनामी आती है; ये सब माँ कालरात्रि की शक्ति से होता है| इसलिये, जब भी लोग ऐसे प्रकोप को देखते हैं, तो वो देवी के सभी नौ रूपों से प्रार्थना करते हैं| नवरात्रि २०१८ के नौ दिनों तक देवी दुर्गा की पूजा-आराधना का विधान है। नवदुर्गा के इन बीज मंत्रों की प्रतिदिन की देवी के दिनों के अनुसार मंत्र जप करने से मनोरथ सिद्धि होती है। आइए जानें नौ देवियों के दैनिक पूजा के बीज मंत्र नवरात्रि (नवरात्रि २०१८) के पहले तीन दिन नवरात्रि का सातवां और आठवां दिन(नवरात्रि २०१८) नवरात्रि का नौवां दिन (नवरात्रि २०१८) नवरात्रि २०१८ पूजन विधि और घट स्थापना कलश स्थापना का मूहुर्त [नवरात्रि २०१८] ड्रम्स्तिक ड्रमस्टिक या सहजन खाने से होने वाले स्वास्थ्य लाभ

इंडियन मेडिकल एसोसिएशन (आईएमए) का कहना है कि दोषपूर्ण जीवनशैली और हानिकारक आहार से बड़ी आंत का कैंसर होने का खतरा होता है। अधिक वसा और कम रेशों वाले भोजन से कोलोरेक्टल कैंसर का खतरा बढ़ जाता है। आंकड़ों के अनुसार, दुनिया में कोलोरेक्टल कैंसर तीसरा सबसे अधिक पाया जाने वाला कैंसर है। हर साल इसके १४ लाख नए मामले सामने आते हैं और ६.९४ लाख लोगों की इसके वजह से मृत्यु हो जाती है। भारत में इस तरह का कैंसर का मामला बढ़ने लगा है। प्रति तीन कोलोरेक्टल कैंसर मरीजों में एक मरीज में इसका स्थान मलाशय में होता है। आईएमए का मानना है कि अधिक वसा और कम रेशों वाले भोजन से कोलोरेक्टल कैंसर का खतरा बढ़ जाता है। आईएमए के अध्यक्ष डॉ. के.के. अग्रवाल ने कहा, अब तो कोलन या बड़ी आंत का कैंसर बच्चों मंे भी मिलने लगा है। एक ही जगह बैठे रहना, डेस्क जॉब, अस्वास्थ्यकर भोजन आदि से इस कैंसर को बढ़ावा मिलता है। कम जानकारी के कारण, करीब ४० से ५० प्रतिशत मामले ही सामने आ पाते हैं, वो भी तब जब कैंसर अंतिम चरण में पहुंच चुका होता है। उन्होंने कहा, मलाशय से रक्त स्राव, कब्ज और डायरिया दो दिन से अधिक रहे तो लोग उसे कुछ अन्य रोग समझ बैठते हैं। इससे कैंसर की जांच में विलंब होता जाता है। भारत का मूल आहार रेशेदार हुआ करता था, जो पाचन तंत्र के अनुकूल होता था। पश्चिमी आहार में प्रिजर्वेटिव अधिक होते हैं और रेशे कम होते हैं, जिससे न सिर्फ कोलन कैंसर, बल्कि अन्य कई रोगों का खतरा भी पैदा हो जाता है। यह भी पढ़ें : अभी-अभी: मां ने किया बड़ा खुलासा, पीएम से मिलते समय प्रियंका ने क्यों पहनी थी छोटी ड्रेस आग्रवाल ने कहा, इसके कुछ लक्षण हैं- दो सप्ताह से अधिक रहने वाला डायरिया या कब्ज, मल में रक्त या चिकनाई दिखाई देना, मलत्याग में कठिनाई, रक्ताल्पता, पेट में सूजन या निरंतर दर्द या असहज महसूस होना, अचानक वजन में कमी होते जाना, बहुत अधिक थकान, चक्कर आना या उल्टी करने की इच्छा होना। उन्होंने बताया, समय रहते स्क्रीनिंग मददगार रहती है, क्योंकि प्रीकैंसरस पॉलिप को पहले ही खत्म कर दिया जाए तो वे कैंसर कोशिकाओं में नहीं बदल पातीं। बड़ी आंत की दीवार तक सीमित कैंसर सर्जरी से ठीक किया जा सकता है। आधुनिक प्रौद्योगिकी के चलते, पांच प्रतिशत से कम मरीजों को ही कोलोस्टोमी की जरूरत होती है। यह मलत्याग के लिए एक नया मार्ग बनाने की सर्जरी होती है। कोलन कैंसर के खतरे को कम करने के उपाए :- -फल, सब्जियां और संपूर्ण अनाज का सेवन करें। -यदि मदिरापान करते हों तो कम ही करें। महिलाओं के लिए प्रतिदिन एक पैग और पुरुषों के लिए दो पैग से अधिक नहीं। -धूम्रपान करते हों तो बंद कर दें और इस कार्य में अपने चिकित्सक की मदद लें। -प्रतिदिन कम से कम ३० मिनट व्यायाम अवश्य करें। -वजन पर नियंत्रण रखें। जो पहले से ही मोटे हैं, वह व्यायाम और संतुलित आहार करें। वजन घटाना चाहते हैं तो इस तरह खाएं खीरा

इस गेम के लिए इतनी दीवानगी की खर्च कर दिए १० लाख डॉलर मोबाइल गेम गेम ऑफ वॉर में नहीं हारने के लिए एक आदमी नें १० लाख डॉलर फूंक डाले। उसने अपनी कंपनी से ४८ लाख डॉलर की चोरी करने की बात स्वीकार की है। इस पैसे को उसने मई २००८ से मार्च २०१५ के बीच चुराया था। गेमिंग के अलावा इन पैसों से उसने लक्जरी कारें और सैनफ्रांसिस्को के लिए सीजन टिकट खरीदा व प्लास्टिक सर्जरी भी कराई। इस गेम में नकली किलों को बनाना और ढहाना होता है। गेम का शौक पूरा करने के लिए उसने यह रकम अपनी कंपनी में चोरी करके जुटाई थी। केविन ली को सैक्रामेंटो में हैवी इक्विपमेंट कंपनी होल्ट कैलिफोर्निया में नियंत्रक के रूप में काम करता था। चर मारो की रिपोर्ट के अनुसार, यह दुनिया का सबसे लाभदायक गेमिंग ऐप है, जो रोजाना करीब १० लाख डॉलर कमा रहा है। एक नियमित खिलाड़ी ने बताया कि यह एक जुआ की तरह है, जिसमें जीतने की कोई संभावना नहीं है। हालांकि, खेल पर १० लाख डॉलर खर्च करना बेहद असामान्य है। न्यूयॉर्क में संघीय अदालत ने केविन को चोरी के मामले का दोषी पाया है। खेल में खिलाड़ी शहरों और सैनिकों को बनाते हैं और फिर दूसरे शहरों पर हमला करते हैं। औसत एक खिलाड़ी खेल के उच्च स्तर के लिए आगे बढ़ रखने के लिए ५५० डॉलर खर्च करता है।

सेहत की थाली हुई महंगी मोदी और शाह संभालेंगे मंच आतिशी के सामने आपका लवली १९८० में हुए लोकसभा चुनाव से पहले भी दिल्ली से कोई भी सिख उम्मीदवार संसद के निचले सदन, लोकसभा में नहीं पहुंचे थे। केंद्र में १९७७ में बनी जनता पार्टी सरकार के गिरने के बाद नई संसद चुनने के लिए १९८० में लोकसभा चुनाव हुए थे। १९८० में दक्षिण दिल्ली से चरणजीत सिंह कांग्रेस की टिकट पर सांसद चुने गए थे। दिल्ली में भाजपा, कांग्रेस और आम आदमी पार्टी के उम्मीदवार अब आमने-सामने हैं। मतदान का दिन करीब आने के साथ चुनाव प्रचार का तापमान भी बढ़ गया है। पूर्वी दिल्ली सीट पर आप और कांग्रेस के उम्मीदवारों ने अपनी टक्कर से जंग को रोचक बना दिया है। आम आदमी पार्टी की आतिशी के सामने खड़े अरविंदर सिंह लवली ने अपने प्रचार का आधार यही बनाया है कि वे पूर्वी दिल्ली के बाशिंदे हैं। उनका कहना है कि पहली बार किसी पार्टी ने पूर्वी दिल्ली को वहां का रहनेवाला उम्मीदवार दिया है। इसलिए मतदाताओं के लिए उन्होंने अपना नारा भी आपका लवली बनाया है। पूर्वी दिल्ली लोकसभा सीट पर भाजपा-कांग्रेस-आप की त्रिकोणीय लड़ाई में अगर अरविंदर सिंह लवली जीते, तब यह ४० साल बाद दिल्ली से किसी सिख के लोकसभा में पहुंचने का इतिहास बनेगा। १९८० में दक्षिण दिल्ली से चरणजीत सिंह कांग्रेस की टिकट पर सांसद चुने गए थे। चरणजीत सिंह ने तब जनता पार्टी के कद्दावर नेता रहे प्रोफेसर विजय कुमार मल्होत्रा को हराया था। राजनैतिक जानकार मानते हैं करीब १२-१४ फीसद पंजाबी और सिख आबादी वाली दिल्ली में मौजूदा लोकसभा चुनाव में लवली ही एकमात्र सिख उम्मीदवार हैं। पूर्वी दिल्ली के स्थानीय निवासी होने के अलावा इलाके समेत पूरी दिल्ली की पकड़ लवली की दावेदारी को मजबूत करती है। दिल्ली के शिक्षा, राजस्व, शहरी विकास, ट्रांसपोर्ट व पर्यटन मंत्री के रूप में जिम्मेदारी निभा चुके लवली चुनाव प्रचार में भी दिल्ली की राजनीति के मंझे हुए खिलाड़ी साबित हो रहे हैं। पदयात्रा, जनसभा और जनसंपर्क में भीड़ और लोगों में उनसे मिलने का जज्बा काम आ रहा है। कॉलेज की पढ़ाई के दौरान ही उनका राजनीति की तरफ रुझान हो गया था। वे भीमराव आंबेडकर कॉलज के अध्यक्ष के अलावा १९९२-९६ तक एनएसयूआइ के महासचिव भी रहे हैं। १९८० में हुए लोकसभा चुनाव से पहले भी दिल्ली से कोई भी सिख उम्मीदवार संसद के निचले सदन, लोकसभा में नहीं पहुंचे थे। केंद्र में १९७७ में बनी जनता पार्टी सरकार के गिरने के बाद नई संसद चुनने के लिए १९८० में लोकसभा चुनाव हुए थे। उस चुनाव में कांग्रेस ने दक्षिण दिल्ली से अपने उम्मीदवार के रूप में चरणजीत सिंह को उतारा था। राजनीतिक हलकों में नया नाम होने के बावजूद चरणजीत सिंह तब जीत दर्ज कर संसद पहुंचे थे। हालांकि १९९९ में सरदार मनमोहन सिंह ने दक्षिण दिल्ली सीट से कांग्रेस उम्मीदवार के रूप में चुनाव लड़ा था। तब वे भाजपा के वीके मल्होत्रा से चुनाव हार गए थे। २०१४ लोकसभा चुनाव में पश्चिमी दिल्ली सीट से आम आदमी पार्टी ने जरनैल सिंह को उम्मीदवार बनाया था। जरनैल सिंह भी चुनाव हार गए थे। १ खूबसूरत शहर का सियासी मिजाज भी है अलहदा २ मोदी जी अंधाधुंध खर्च कर रहे, पैसे कहां से लाए? क्या बीजेपी नेताओं की बीवियों ने गहने बेचे हैं? कमलनाथ के बोल ३ इनुथ-युवा सर्वे: पहली बार वोट देने वालों के लिए महिला सुरक्षा सबसे बड़ा मुद्दा, ५५% ने माना सही नहीं है राजनीति

जरूरी है शांति और धैर्य | संपादकीय ब्लॉग बमुश्किल दो साल के भीतर चार बड़े आंदोलन। पहले स्वामी रामदेव, फिर टीम अन्ना, फिर रामदेव और अब यह स्वत:स्फूर्त जनांदोलन.. सामूहिक दुष्कर्म के आरोपियों को फांसी देने की मांग को लेकर। इसके पहले कभी ऐसी स्थिति नहीं आई कि नई दिल्ली में धारा १४४ लगाई जाए, जगह-जगह बैरिकेडिंग की जाए और शहर को छावनी में तब्दील कर दिया जाए। पर अब स्थिति यहां तक पहुंच गई तो लगता है कि पानी सिर से ऊपर गुजरने लगा है। भारत की जनता आसानी से अपना धीरज नहीं खोती। खराब से खराब स्थितियों में भी इसे अपना धीरज बनाए रखने के लिए जाना जाता है। इसने चरमसीमा तक महंगाई झेली और झेले जा रही है, बेरोजगारी झेल रही है, भ्रष्टाचार झेल रही है, आतंकवाद और अराजकता झेल रही है, लेकिन अब.. यह बहन-बेटियों की इज्जत पर हाथ डालना और उसमें भी दरिंदगी की सारी हदें पार कर जाना.. आखिर कहां तक कोई बर्दाश्त करेगा? बर्दाश्त की सारी हदें जब पार हो गई और नेताओं ने जनता के विश्वास की सारी हदें तोड़ दीं तो लोगों के पास चारा भी आखिर क्या था? वाकई अब तो न केवल सरकार, बल्कि व्यवस्था के साथ-साथ पूरा देश मुश्किल में फंस गया है। रेड:भरोसा तोड़ने वाली राजनीति युवा भावनाओं के उबाल का यह दौर वास्तव में जिम्मेदार लोगों के धीरज और संयम की परीक्षा का दौर है। विपक्ष से लेकर सरकार तक सभी युवाओं के आक्रोश को सही ठहरा रहे हैं। किसी में इतना साहस नहीं है, जो अपना दामन बचाने के लिए औपचारिक तौर पर भी यह कहने का साहस जुटा सके कि युवाओं का इतना गुस्सा करना गलत है। कोई कहे भी कैसे? यह केवल किसी एक कारण से तो है नहीं। गौर से देखा जाए तो जो दरिंदगी हुई है, उसके पीछे भी केवल एक ही कारण नहीं है। इसके पीछे भी कई कारण हैं और इसके लिए जिम्मेदार सिर्फ वे दरिंदे ही नहीं हैं। यहां तक कि दरिंदों के साथ-साथ केवल पुलिस तक को भी जिम्मेदार ठहराने से काम नहीं चलेगा। असलियत यह है कि इसके लिए हमारी पूरी व्यवस्था जिम्मेदार है। इस व्यवस्था में पुलिस भी शामिल है, परिवहन विभाग, प्रशासन और शासन भी। असल में यह सबकी अनदेखी की प्रवृत्ति का नतीजा है। दिल्ली में दुष्कर्म अब कोई एक दिन की बात नहीं है। यहां आए दुष्कर्म की घटनाएं होती रहती हैं। कभी किसी युवती के साथ तो किसी नाबालिग लड़की के साथ। यहां तक कि अबोध बच्चियां और बुजुर्ग महिलाएं भी यहां सुरक्षित नहीं हैं। रास्ते, सार्वजनिक स्थलों और सुनसान जगहों की तो बात छोडि़ए, खुद अपने घरों में भी स्ति्रयां सुरक्षित नहीं हैं। बेशक, इसके लिए बहुत हद तक हमारे समाज का नजरिया जिम्मेदार है और इसका स्थायी समाधान भी इसके बदलने एवं सुधरने में ही निहित है। इसका यह मतलब भी नहीं कि हमारे समाज का हर पुरुष दुष्कर्मी मनोवृत्ति और स्त्री के प्रति उपभोक्तावादी नजरिया रखने वाला है। वास्तव में ऐसे लोग समाज में बहुत थोड़े से हैं, लेकिन उनके बेहिसाब हल्ले के बीच शरीफ लोगों की आवाज दब जाती है। आम लोगों की आवाज दब इसलिए जाती है, क्योंकि वे उस तरह छल-प्रपंच नहीं कर सकते जैसे असामाजिक तत्व करते हैं। वास्तव में फरेब उनकी ही जरूरत भी है। शरीफ आदमी को न तो इसकी जरूरत होती है और न वह यह सब सीखता है। यही वजह है कि वह अक्सर इनके अत्याचार का शिकार होता रहता है। उसे अराजक तत्वों से बचाने के लिए ही सरकार की जरूरत होती है और सरकार अपना काम ठीक से कर सके, इसके लिए ही पुलिस-प्रशासन और उसके पूरे अमले की जरूरत होती है। अगर यह अमला ठीक से काम नहीं कर रहा है तो यह सरकार की जिम्मेदारी है कि उसे समझा-बुझा कर या सख्ती करके रास्ते पर ले आए। यहां हालात बिलकुल उलट गए हैं। अराजक तत्व तो खुलेआम घूम-घूम कर वारदात कर रहे हैं और बेचारे आम जन डरे-सहमे केवल अपनी जान बचाने में लगे हैं। वह अपने धन-मान की रक्षा के लिए कहां जाएं, किससे गुहार लगाएं। पुलिस सुनती नहीं है, उसके बारे में आम धारणा यह है कि अपराधियों से मिली हुई है। इस धारणा को गलत साबित कर सके, ऐसी कोई घटना जल्दी सामने आती नहीं है। अपराधी कहीं से कुछ भी करके निकल जाते हैं और पुलिस उनका कुछ नहीं करती। यहां तक कि राष्ट्रीय राजधानी की व्यस्त सड़कों पर नियम-कानून की धज्जियां उड़ाती एक बस घंटों चलती रही, उसमें एक लड़की की इज्जत छह दरिंदे मिल लूटते रहे, उसके साथ वे वह सब करते रहे जिससे मनुष्यता तो क्या दानवता तक शरमा जाए और हमारी पुलिस सोती रही। आखिर है किसलिए यह पुलिस? अगर पुलिस की यही सीमा है तो फिर उसकी उपयोगिता और जरूरत क्या है? क्यों हम उसका बोझ उठाएं? वस्तुस्थिति यह है कि पुलिस केवल वीवीआइपी सुरक्षा का एक औजार बन कर रह गई है। रेड:रिटेल पर राजनीति सौ वर्ग गज की मौत
हथकध । हथकढ़: होने को फसल ए गुल भी है, दावत ए ऐश भी है बारिशें नहीं होती इसलिए ये रेगिस्तान है। इसका दूसरा पहलू ये भी है कि ये रेगिस्तान है इसलिए बारिशें नहीं होती। एक ही बात को दो तरीके से कहा जा सके तो हमें ये समझ आता है कि हल कहीं इसी बात में ही छिपा हुआ है। अगर रेगिस्तान में कुछ पेड़ और पौधे बढ़ जाएँ तो यहाँ से गुज़रने वाले बादलों को रुकने के मौका मिल सकता है। वे बरस भी सकते हैं। उनके बरस जाने पर रेगिस्तान जैसी कोई चीज़ बाकी न रहेगी। मुझे ये खयाल इसलिए आया कि बुधवार को संसद में खाद्य सुरक्षा बिल प्रस्तुत कर दिया गया। यूपीए सरकार में इस बिल को लाने के प्रति बड़ी उत्सुकता थी। जिस तरह मनरेगा एक मील का पत्थर और जन कल्याणकारी योजना साबित हुई उसी तरह की आशा इस बिल के लागू होने से भी की जा रही है। इस पर काफी दिनों से चल रही खींचतान ने इसे भी कई लंबित योजनाओं में शामिल कर दिया था। ये आश्चर्य की कोई बात नहीं है कि गरीब और आम अवाम के लिए लाई जानी वाली योजनाओं पर खूब समर्थन और विरोध की बातें होती हैं। हर कोई भला करने का अधिकार अपने पास रखना चाहता है और दूसरे ये काम करें इसे स्वीकार नहीं करता। मैंने बचपन में कई बार सुना कि फेमीन शुरू होने वाली है। मेरे लिए फेमीन शब्द का अर्थ था कि कोई काम शुरू करना जिससे लोगों को रोज़गार मिल सके। फेमीन का शाब्दिक अर्थ बहुत अरसे के बाद समझ आया। इसका अभिप्राय ये है कि रेगिस्तान के लोगों का और अकाल का वास्ता जन्म जन्मांतर का रहा है। सरकारों ने इस सूखे भू-भाग और देश के ऐसे ही अनेक हिस्सों में अपने नागरिकों को भूख से मरने से बचाने के लिए योजनाएँ बनाई और उनका क्रियान्वयन किया। इस बार जो खाद्य सुरक्षा बिल लाया जा रहा है इससे देश की दो तिहाई आबादी के लाभान्वित होने की उम्मीद है। इस योजना के मुताबिक गरीबों को दो रुपए किलो गेहूं, तीन रुपए किलो चावल और एक रुपए किलो मोटा अनाज राशन दुकानों के माध्यम से दिया जाएगा। एक परिवार को हर माह पच्चीस किलो अनाज मिलेगा। गांवों की पचहत्तर फीसदी और शहरों में करीब पचास फीसदी आबादी तक यह योजना पहुंचेगी। इस योजना को फिलहाल तीन साल के लिए लागू करने की बात कही जा रही है। खाद्य सुरक्षा योजना के अंतर्गत मिड डे मील, आईसीडीएस भी शामिल हो जाएंगे। अनुमान के मुताबिक इस योजना के लागू होने से सरकार को प्रतिवर्ष एक लाख चौबीस करोड़ रुपए की सब्सिडी देनी होगी। आज के भाव से एक किलो चावल पर साढ़े तेईस और गेहूं पर प्रतिकिलो अट्ठारह रुपए की सब्सिडी देनी होगी। तीन साल में करीब छः लाख करोड़ की सब्सिडी दिए जाने का अनुमान है। योजना के तहत देश की पैंसठ प्रतिशत आबादी को सस्ते दामों में अनाज मुहैया कराया जाएगा। केंद्र सरकार ने इस योजना के लागू किए जाने का सारा जिम्मा राज्य सरकारों पर डाल दिया है। यह एक तरह से संघीय ढांचे को मजबूत किए जाने हेतु उठाया गया कदम है। केंद्र और राज्यों को मिल कर ही इस तरह की योजनों का क्रियान्वयन करना चाहिए। केंद्र सरकार सब्सिडी दे रहा है और राज्य सरकारें ये तय करे कि इसका फायदा किसको दिया जाना है। चयनित होने वाले लाभार्थी तक जो सस्ता राशन पहुंचेगा उसे उपलब्ध कराने का सारा श्रेय केंद्र सरकार न ले जाए इसलिए कुछ राज्य इसका विरोध कर रहे हैं। वे नहीं चाहते कि किसी भी रूप में उनका सिस्टम केंद्र के लाभ के लिए काम करे। लेकिन ये जो विरोध करने वाली सरकारें हैं वे ही अक्सर केंद्र से कई मामलों में सहायता दिये जाने की गुहार लगाती रहती है। क्या उस वक़्त उनको नहीं लगता कि केंद्र से मिला हुआ धन लाभार्थी को प्रभावित करेगा। या उनके विरोध की वजहें कुछ और हैं। एक वजह ये हो सकती है कि सब राज्यों की सरकारों ने गरीबों के लिए अपने स्तर पर कई योजनाएँ चला रखी हैं। वे इसका क्रेडिट ही चाहती है और केंद्र की भव्य योजना के सामने उन लघु योजनाओं के दम तोड़ देने के भय से घिरी हुई हैं। इधर लोग अक्सर एक ही शिकायत करते हैं कि रोज़गार के अवसर उपलब्ध कराने की जगह सरकारें इस तरह की योजनाएँ लाती हैं जिनसे भ्रष्टाचार को बढ़ावा मिलता हो। वही सिस्टम और वे ही उसके लाभ उठाने वाले। समाज का बहू संख्यक वर्ग ये मानता है कि आज राजनीति में आने के उत्सुक और आकांक्षी लोगों का पहला लालच यही है कि वे सरकारी योजनाओं में सेंध लगा कर अपने लिए कुछ चुरा सकें। सब्सिडी का खेल ही इसके लिए सबसे अधिक उपयुक्त है। हाल ही में ये तय किया गया है कि रसोई गैस पर दी जाने वाली सब्सिडी को उपभोक्ता के बैंक खाते में जमा करवाया जाएगा। ऐसा निर्णय करने के पीछे का सबक ये है कि आम उपभोक्ता की जगह रसोई गैस का बहुतायत से दुरुपयोग हो रहा है। तो क्या इस खाद्य सुरक्षा बिल के बारे में भी यही संदेह नहीं उभरता है। ये देश की राशनिंग प्रणाली को फिर ज़िंदा करने का काम है और हम सब जानते हैं कि राशन की दुकानों का खेला कैसा है। ज़रूरत इस बात की है सिस्टम को पहले दुरुस्त किया जाए। हम एक नयी सोच से मनुष्य के लिए रोजगार के अवसर बनाएँ। ताकि वह खुद कमा कर खा सके। उसके बच्चों को स्कूल के पोषाहार और बीवी को राशन वाली दुकान की कतार में न खड़ा होना पड़े। याहया जस्दानवाला का एक शेर है- होने को फसल ए गुल भी है दावत ए ऐश है मगर अपनी बहार का मुझे आज भी इंतज़ार है । [तस्वीर सौजन्य : रेडिफ़]

बिग बॉस १३: इस तरह होगा माहिरा शर्मा का एविक्शन, भूत के साथ जाएंगी घर से बाहर बिग बॉस १३ में मिड नाइट एविक्शन का समय अब आ गया है। चर्चा है कि माहिरा शर्मा इस बार घर से बेघर होंगी और उन्हें भूत ले जाएगा। अगर आप बिग बॉस सीजन १३ देख रहे हैं तो जाहिर है कि आपके अंदर इस बात को जानने की चाहत जरूर होगी कि बिग बॉस फिनाले के ४ दिन ही बचे हैं और घर में अभी ७ सदस्य हैं। हालाकि बहुत दिनों से मिड नाइट एविक्शन की चर्चा चल रही है। मगर, अब तक ऐसा देखने को नहीं मिला है। शो के लास्ट वीकेंड के वार में भी किसी का एविक्शन नहीं हुआ। ऐसे में घर वालों और सदस्यों दोनों के ही बीच में बहुत कंफ्यूजन है कि आखिर टॉप ५ फाइनलिस्ट हैं कौन? इस कंफ्यूजन को दूर करने के लिए बिग बॉस एक ट्विस्ट लेकर आ रहे हैं। इस ट्विस्ट में एक भूत घर के अंदर आएगा और माहिरा शर्मा को अपने साथ ले जाएगा। यह भूत कोई और नहीं बल्कि बॉलीवुड एक्टर विक्की कौशल होंगे। विक्की कौशल अपनी फिल्म 'भूत पार्ट-१: द हॉन्टेड शिप' में आने वाले हैं और अपनी इस फिल्म को प्रमोट करने के लिए वह बिग बॉस हाउस में आधी रात में घुस जाते हैं। यह बिग बॉस का ही गेम प्लान होता है। बहुत दिनों से मिड नाइट एविक्शन की बात चल रही है और अब यह एविक्शन १2 फरवरी के एपिसोड में देखने को मिल सकता है। इसे जरूर पढ़ें: बिग बॉस१३ लाटेस्ट उपकेट्स: क्या सच में माहिरा शर्मा को आधी रात में घर से बेघर कर देंगे बिग बॉस ? गौरतलब है , इस वक्त बिग बॉस हाउस में माहिरा शर्मा, आरती सिंह और शहनाज गिल घर से बेघर होने के लिए नॉमीनेटिड हैं। देखा जाए तो इन तीनों में माहिरा शर्मा का खेल ही सबसे कम नजर आ रहा है। वह शुरुआत से ही पारस छाबड़ा के साथ ही नजर आई हैं और उनका गेम उन्हीं से शुरू होकर उन्हीं पर खत्म हो जाता है। हिमांशी खुराना या माहिरा शर्मा, इन ७ तस्वीरों से तय कीजिए कौन है सबसे ज्यादा स्टाइलिश बहुत दिनों से सोशल मीडिया पर इस बात के चर्चे भी है कि माहिरा शर्मा का मिड नाइट एविक्शन हो रहा है। माहिरा शर्मा की मां से जब इस बारे में पूछा गया था तब उन्होंने इस बात के लिए इंकार कर दिया था कि माहिरा घर से बेघर होने वाली हैं। मगर, अब सोशल मीडिया पर यह बात जोरों से वायरल हो रही हैं कि माहिरा शर्मा को भूत अपने साथ ले जाएगा। यहां भूत से आशय विक्की कौशल से है। माहिरा शर्मा को भी शायद इस बात का अंदाजा है कि वह टॉप-५ फाइनलिस्ट में नहीं हैं क्योंकि बीते कुछ एपिसोड्स में उन्हें यह कहते देखा गया है कि वह इस बार घर से बेघर हो जाएंगे। आपको बता दें कि बिग बॉस को अपने टॉप ४ फाइनलिस्ट पहले ही मिल चुके हैं। सिद्धार्थ शुक्ला, आसिम रियाज, रश्मि देसाई और पारस छाबड़ा बिग बॉस सीजन १३ के ४ फाइनलिस्ट हैं । अब माहिरा के एविक्शन के बाद यह बात क्लीयर हो जाएगी कि आरती सिंह और शहनाज गिल में से कौन टॉप- ५ फाइनलिस्ट होगा।

जिंदल-ओबामा विवाद पहुंचा अदालत वाशिंगटन | डेस्क: अमेरिका के ल्युसियाना प्रांत के भारतीय मूल के गवर्नर और राष्ट्रपति पद के लिए रिपब्लिकन पार्टी के १७ दावेदारों में से एक बॉबी जिंदल और ओबामा प्रशासन के बीच स्वास्थ्य सेवाओं से जुड़ा मुद्दा अदालत पहुंच गया है. जिंदल की कोशिश है कि सरकारी स्वास्थ्य सेवा कार्यक्रम से प्लांड पैरेंटहुड गल्फ कोस्ट नाम की संस्था को हटा दिया जाए. यह संस्था सरकारी मेडिक एड प्रोग्राम के तहत प्रजनन स्वास्थ्य एवं मातृ तथा शिशु स्वास्थ्य सेवाएं उपलब्ध कराती है. दरअसल गर्भपात रोधी कार्यकर्ताओं ने गुप्त रूप से कुछ वीडियो बनाए हैं, जिन्होंने क्लीनिक में होने वाले ऑपरेशनों को कठघरे में खड़ा कर दिया है. इन्हीं वीडियो के आधार पर जिंदल ने प्लांड पैरेंटहुड पर रोक लगाने की कवायद शुरू की है. सिर्फ जिंदल ही नहीं बल्कि रिपब्लिकन पार्टी से राष्ट्रपति पद के सभी १७ दावेदारों ने कहा है कि चुनाव जीतने पर वे मेडिक एड प्रोग्राम को मिलने वाली संघीय मदद को रोक देंगे. जिंदल की कोशिशों के खिलाफ प्लांड पैरेंटहुड ने ल्युसियाना संघीय अदालत की शरण ली है. यूएसए टुडे की रपट में बताया गया है कि इस मामले की सुनवाई से पहले कानून विभाग के वकीलों ने भी अदालत में अर्जी लगाई. अर्जी में कहा गया है कि राज्य ने संघीय मदद हासिल करने वाली स्वास्थ्य सेवा को मुहैया कराने वाले से उसका काम छीनने की कोई वाजिब वजह नहीं बताई है. अर्जी में कहा गया है, राज्य के पास इस बात का कोई असीमित अधिकार नहीं है कि वह तय करे कि संघीय स्वास्थ्य सेवा मुहैया कराने की योग्यता किसी के पास है या नहीं. मामले की सुनवाई बेटन रुज में अमेरिकी जिला न्यायाधीश जॉन डि ग्रावेलेस की अदालत में बुधवार को होगी. जिंदल ने एक बयान में कहा है, राष्ट्रपति ओबामा प्लांड पैरेंटहुड के बेबी हारवेस्टिंग ऑपरेशन को बचाने के लिए इतने प्रतिबद्ध हैं कि उन्होंने कानून विभाग के अपने वकीलों को मुझ पर मुकदमा ठोकने और हमें इन करारों को रद्द करने से रोकने के लिए बेटन रुज भेज दिया. बयान में जिंदल ने कहा है, राष्ट्रपति ओबामा ने वीडियो नहीं देखे, लेकिन उनके पास मुकदमा दायर करने का वक्त है. ठीक है, मेरे पास उनके लिए एक खबर है- हम पीछे नहीं हटने जा रहे हैं. प्लांड पैरेंटहुड ने बीते महीने गवर्नर भवन के सामने प्रदर्शन किया था. जवाब में जिंदल की तरफ से क्लीनिक में होने वाले गर्भपात ऑपरेशनों के गुप्त रूप से शूट किए गए वीडियो एक पर्दे पर दिखाए गए थे. टैग्स: बराक ओबामा, बॉब्बी जिंदल, बराक ओबामा, बॉबी जिंदल, रिपब्लिकन पार्टी

बच्चा कब बोलना शुरू करता है और आप उसे किस तरह सहायता दे सकते हैं? बच्चे का कब नहीं बोलना (बच्चे का बोलना) आपके लिए चिंता का कारण बन सकता है? यहां जानिए सब कुछ... बच्चे की बोली सभी को अच्छी लगती है. हर किसी को अपने बच्चे के मुंह से निकलने वाले पहले शब्द को सुनने का बड़ी बेसब्री से इंतजार रहता है. ३ साल तक बच्चा अपने माता-पिता द्वारा बोली जाने वाली भाषा को सीखता है. इसी समय इनका दिमागी विकास शुरू होता है. बच्चे के सीखने की क्षमता पर निर्भर है कि वह कितनी तेजी से बोलना (बच्चे का बोलना) सीखता है. सीखने की क्षमता हर बच्चे में अलग-अलग होती है. अगर आप तुलना करें तो कोई भी दो बच्चा एक साथ रेंगना, बोलना और चलना शुरू नहीं करते हैं, चाहे बच्चा एक ही परिवार का क्यों ना हो. बच्चा कब बोलना शुरू करता है और आप उसे किस तरह सहायता दे सकते हैं, इन सबकी जानकारी आपको यहां बताने जा रहे हैं. साथ ही यह भी बताएंगे कि बच्चे का कब नहीं बोलना आपके लिए चिंता का कारण बन सकता है. ७ वर्ष की उम्र में बच्चे का दिमाग सबसे अधिक बढ़ता है और इसी समय बच्चा सबसे अधिक सीखता है, खासकर बोलना. बच्चे के आस-पास अगर अच्छे बोलचाल और साफ भाषा का माहौल हो तो, ऐसा माहौल शिशु को जल्दी बोलना सीखने में मदद करता है. इसी शुरूआती वर्ष में बच्चे का दिमाग तेजी से बढ़ता और सोचने-समझने के लिए तैयार होता है. इन्हीं वर्षों में आपका शिशु बोलना व भाषा सीखने लगता है. जन्म लेते ही बोलना शुरू करता है नवजात बच्चे का बोलना १. कोई भी बच्चा जन्म लेते ही बात करना शुरू कर देता है. बच्चा भूखा होने पर, गीला होने पर या फिर किसी तरह की बेचैनी होने पर आपसे रोकर बात करता है. लेकिन बोलने और भाषा सीखने के लिए उसे एक लंबी प्रक्रिया से गुजरना पड़ता है. २. तीन महीने की उम्र तक आपका बच्चा आवाज पहचानना शुरू कर देता है. आपने ध्यान भी दिया होगा छोटे बच्चे जानी पहचानी आवाज की तरफ आपना सिर ले जाने की कोशिश करने लगते हैं. और बोलने वाले का चेहरा भी देखने लगता है. ३. ३ से ४ महीना पूरा करते करते वह तुतलाने लगता है. इनका तुतलाना ही बोलने के शुरूआत की निशानी है. इस उम्र में शिशु हंस कर मुस्करा कर, खुशी व नाराजगी भी जाहिर करना सीख जाता है और समाज से जुड़ने की कोशिश करने लगता है. जब शिशु तुतलाना शुरू करता है तो सबसे पहले उसके मुंह से प, म, ब, मुह, पुह, बुह आदि आवाजें निकतली है. ४. ९ से १२ महीने का शिशु हाथों से बाय-बाय करना शुरू कर देता है. साथ ही वह न के अलावा का, कू आदि शब्दों के साथ बड़ों से बातें करना सीख जाता है. १२ महीना होते ही बच्चा अपना पहला शब्द जैसे दादा, पापा और मामा आदि बोलने लगता है. ५. शिशु १८ महीने की उम्र में आपकी बातों को एक बार में ही समझने लायक हो जाता है. यहां तक की उसे २० से १०० शब्दों की जानकारी भी हो जाती है. ६. २ साल की उम्र के शिशु को २00 शब्दों तक की जानकारी हो जाती है और वो दो शब्द वाले वाक्य भी बोलने लगता है. वह सुने हुए बातों को दोहराता है, बोलने की कोशिश करते हुए कहां, क्या जैसे आपके सवालों को भी समझने लगता है. ७. बच्चे की उम्र ३ वर्ष होने पर उसे ८०० से ९०० शब्दों की जानकारी हो जाती है और साथ ही वह २ से ३ शब्दों में बातें करना भी शुरू कर देता है. वह हां और ना में जवाब भी देने लगता है. ८. ४ वर्ष होते ही आपका बच्चा अच्छी तरह से बोलना सीख जाता है. वह आपके साथ बातें करना, कहानियां सुनना भी शुरू कर देता है. बच्चा आपकी हंसी-मजाक भी समझने लगता है. बोलना सीखने में ऐसे करें अपने बच्चे की मदद बच्चे का बोलना बच्चे के साथ हमेशा बातचीत करने की कोशिश करते रहें. शिशु के साथ बात करते समय अपनी बातों को रखने के बाद उसकी प्रतिक्रिया का इंतजार करें. बातचीत में हमेशा अलग-अलग तरह के शब्दों का प्रयोग करें. नाटकीय खेलों में शिशु को शामिल करें. बच्चे के लिए गाना गाएं, भले ही बच्चा आपने गानों ना ना समझे लेकिन वो आपकी आवाज सुनकर प्रतिक्रिया देना सीख लेगा. इशारों के माध्यम से ही अपने शिशु के साथ कुछ-कुछ खेलने का प्रयास करते रहें. ६ से ९ महीने का उम्रे में बच्चे को आइना दिखाकर उससे पूछे कि यह बच्चा कौन है. शरीर के अंगों की जानकारी देने के लिए आप अंगों की ओर इशारा करते हुए जोर-जोर से उनका नाम लें, जैसे गाल, नाक, आंख आदि. १. आपका बच्चा अगर देरी से बोलना शुरू किया है तो उसे कभी भी अन्य बच्चों का उदाहरण देना उचित नहीं है. २. बच्चे के प्रयास को हमेशा प्रोत्साहित करते रहें. ३. सोते वक्त रात को शिशु को कहानी सुनाएं, जिससे उसमें कम्युनिकेशन स्किल का विकास हो सके. ४. कभी-कभी तो माता-पिता की व्यस्त जिंदगी के कारण भी बच्चा देरी से बोलता है. ऐसे बच्चों के लिए आप ऐसा माहौल तैयार करें. वह अपने दिन का कुछ समय अन्य लोगों के साथ बिता सकें. ऐसे में इन्हें बोलने का भरपूर मौका मिल सके. ५. अपने बच्चे को अन्य बच्चों के साथ घुलने-मिलने का मौका दें. ऐसे में बच्चा अन्य बच्चों के संपर्क में आकर. उन्हें देखकर बोलना सीखता है. ६. आप अपने शिशु को खेलने के लिए जानवर उपकरण के खिलौने दें. साथ ही बच्चे के साथ खेलते वक्त खिलौनो और जानवर की आवाज निकाले. ऐसे में बच्चा आपकी नकल करने की कोशिश करेगा. जिससे उसके अंदर कम्युनिकेशन स्किल का विकास होगा. अगर यहां बताए उम्र के अनुसार आपका बच्चा बोलना शुरू नहीं करता है तो फिर आपको विशेषज्ञ की सलाह लेनी चाहिए.
कांग्रेस : प्रत्याशी तय करने के दो और सर्वे करवाने की कवायद - खबर्थेन्यूज.कॉम होम खबर कांग्रेस : प्रत्याशी तय करने के दो और सर्वे करवाने की कवायद कांग्रेस : प्रत्याशी तय करने के दो और सर्वे करवाने की कवायद दिल्ली की दो एजेन्सियों को सौंपा सर्वे कार्य, एक लेगी लोगों से राय, दूसरी गुपचुप तैयार करेगी रिपोर्ट बीकानेर। कांग्रेस तीन महीनों बाद तीन राज्यों में होने वाले विधानसभा चुनाव में प्रत्याशी तय करने के लिए दो और सर्वे करवाने की तैयारी कर चुकी है। इसके लिए दिल्ली की दो एजेन्सियों को काम सौंपा गया है। राजनीतिक सूत्रों के मुताबिक जिन दो एजेन्सियों को सर्वे का काम सौंपा गया है, उन्होंने रविवार से ही विभिन्न विधानसभा क्षेत्रों के लिए अपनी टीमों के गठन का काम शुरू कर दिया है। जिस एजेन्सी को लोगों से मिलकर राय जानने का कार्य सौंपा गया है, उसके प्रतिनिधि सितम्बर के शुरुआती दिनों में यहां पहुंच जाएंगे। जानकारों ने बताया कि इस बार सर्वे करने वाली एजेन्सियों के प्रतिनिधि टिकट दावेदारों से नहीं मिलेंगे बल्कि उनके क्षेत्रों में पहुंच कर आमलोगों से उनके बारे में राय लेेंगे। इस राय में दोनों पार्टियों के मजबूत प्रत्याशियों का नाम जानने की कोशिश की जाएगी। इन नामों के आधार पर विभिन्न विधानसभा क्षेत्रों में मतदाताओं के जातिगत समीकरण के संबंध में फैसला लिया जाएगा। जानकारों ने बताया कि जिस एजेन्सी को गुपचुप रिपोर्ट तैयार करने का कार्य दिया गया है, उस एजेन्सी को प्रत्येक विधानसभा क्षेत्र से टिकटों के दावेदारों के नामों की सूची सौंपी गई है और इन दावेदारों के नेगेटिव, पॉजीटिव पॉजीशन जानने तथा विधानसभा क्षेत्र में जातिगत समीकरण के हिसाब से कौन प्रत्याशी भारी रह सकता है, इसकी रिपोर्ट बनाने के लिए कहा गया है। महत्वपूर्ण बात यह है कि इस एजेन्सी को यह काम संबंधित विधानसभा क्षेत्र के पूरी तरह से जानकार व्यक्ति से करवाने के लिए कहा गया है। इसमें ऐसे लोगों के चयन की सलाह दी गई है, जो चिकित्सक, इंजीनियर अथवा मीडिया जैसे किसी पेशे जुड़े हुए हों तथा जिन्हें इलाके की राजनीतिक हलचल का पूरी तरह से पता हो। सोशल मीडिया पर भी पैनी निगाहें जानकारी के मुताबिक कांग्रेस ने अपनी एक विंग को पूरी तरह से सोशल मीडिया पर पैनी निगाहें जमाएं रखने को कह रखा है। सोशल मीडिया पर टिकट के दावेदारों को लेकर हो रही टिप्पणियों को जानने के काम में कांग्रेस ने इस विंग को लगा रखा है। इसके साथ ही यूट्यूब और स्थानीय समाचार पत्रों, न्यूज पोर्टल पर भी निगाहें चौबंद रख कर स्थानीय नेताओं की गतिविधियों और उनसे संबंधित समाचारों के आधार पर भी रिपोर्ट तैयार करवाई जा रही है।

इस आदमी से दुःख का भाव बहुत दर्दनाक था, ; पाइक ने कहा। ; कमरे में होना पूरी तरह से मुश्किल था। ; वह सवाल करने लगी कि क्या वह इस परियोजना को जारी रख सकती है। ; मुझे इस तरह का भ्रम, गहरी करुणा, और नुकसान की त्रासदी पर क्रोध की अनाम भावना के कुछ प्रकार थे; ; उसने कहा। ; और मैं इस बात को लेकर उलझन में था कि हम क्या कर रहे थे। मुझे वहां रहने का क्या अधिकार था '> उन्होंने अपने अनुभव से अपने स्वयं के तुलना करके परियोजना पर वापस बात की। ; मुझे लगता है कि आप क्या कर रहे हैं ;

एल्क कोव ऑरगॉन तट पाइक सेट पर वापस आ गया, और उसका बाद का प्रदर्शन इस वर्ष के आश्चर्य की एक घटना है और गिरावट का मौसम है - शारीरिक उथलपुथल और पत्रकारीय कौशल का एक भयावह, दहनशील आंकड़ा जो वर्ष के सर्वश्रेष्ठ में से एक है। ब्रिटिश अभिनेत्री ने मैरी ब्रेनर के ; २०१२ के वैनिटी फेयर लेख को पढ़ने के बाद खुद के लिए इसे मांगा, जिसने कोल्विन के अंतिम क्षणों पर नज़र रखी। हेनमैन, जिन्होंने मूल रूप से परियोजना से बाहर होने से पहले भाग के लिए चार्लीज़ थेरॉन से बात की थी, उन्होंने अभी तक अपनी योजनाओं को अंतिम रूप देने के लिए अंतिम रूप दिया था ; सिटी ऑफ़ घोस्ट्स, ; सीरिया में भूमिगत पत्रकारों का उनका सुरीला-प्रशंसित चित्र। पाइक ने फिल्म निर्माता को सीएए में फिल्म की स्क्रीनिंग के लिए नीचे ट्रैक किया, जो उन दोनों का प्रतिनिधित्व करता है, और कॉल्विन के कुछ लिखित विचारों को साझा किया, जो उसने तैयार किए थे। ; कभी-कभी आप जैसा महसूस करते हैं उससे पहले किसी और के प्रभाव से प्रभावित होते हैं, यह आपके विचारों को नीचे लाने के लिए महत्वपूर्ण है, ; पाइक ने कहा। ; मेरे पास इस तरह की धारा-चेतना थी जो मैरी के बारे में थी। मुझे पता नहीं है कि यह कहां से आया है। ; कुछ दिनों के भीतर हीमैन ने उसे कास्ट कर लिया। परियोजना में पाईक का निवेश केवल वहां से तीव्र हुआ। वह कॉल्विन के मित्रों और परिवार के साथ सीधे जुड़ गया और उन्हें यह समझाने के लिए कि ; एक निजी युद्ध ; स्पष्ट हैग्राफिक बीट्स से आगे निकल जाएगा - जो यह करता है, कोल्विन के " अपने निजी जीवन को जटिल बनाने की आदत डालने के साथ-साथ दुनिया भर में पीड़ित का पता लगाने के लिए उसकी खोज में मनोवैज्ञानिक धीरज की किसी भी मात्रा को पीछे धकेलने की आदत। पाइक ने कॉल्विन के वीडियो का अध्ययन उसके शारीरिक तानों की नक़ल करने के लिए किया, जिसमें आगे और पीछे रॉक करने के लिए एक नर्वस प्रवृत्ति भी शामिल थी क्योंकि वह अपने रोजमर्रा के जीवन के साथ युद्ध के मैदान की यादों को घर वापस करने के लिए संघर्ष करती थी। अभिनेत्री को यहां तक कि उन्हें हिला देने के लिए अपनी उंगलियों के बीच तिनके निचोड़ने की आदत हो गई, उन्होंने पीटीएसडी के लक्षणों को इतनी तीव्रता से अपनाया कि वह अक्सर इसे अपने साथ घर लाने के लिए चिंतित रहती थी। (; मेरे बच्चों ने मुझे इससे बचने में मदद की, ; उसने कहा।) फिल्म महोत्सव की समय सीमा पाइक के प्रदर्शन के लिए पाइक और सक्रियता तब से तेज हो गई है जब डेविड फिंचर ने उसे ; गौरव और पक्षपात ; और २०१४ और रस्को;

को १० लाइनें या ३०० लाइनें मिलीं। ; आखिरकार, वह हेनमैन के अपरंपरागत दृष्टिकोण में बस गई। हॉम्स-सेट के एक अन्य दृश्य में, उसने तहखाने में एक महिला के साथ बातचीत की, जहां महिलाएं और बच्चे बम से छिपे हुए थे। कैमरे के लुढ़कने के साथ, पाइक ने दृश्य में एक शरणार्थी के साथ बातचीत शुरू की, जिसने कहा कि वह की वजह से स्तनपान नहीं कर सकती थी, क्योंकि वह आघात से ग्रस्त थी। ; मैं एक अनुवादक के साथ थोड़ा जांचा, ; पाइक ने कहा। ; मैंने पूछा कि क्या हुआ था और उसने कहा कि उसका घर एक खोल से चपटा हुआ था और वह भाग कर अपने बच्चों के साथ भाग गई, और तब उसे एहसास हुआ कि उसका एक बच्चा गायब है। ; उसने खुद को रोका और एकत्र किया। ; कैमरा चुपचाप वहां था, और र्डको; उसने कहा। ; तो मैंने कहा, आपकी एक बेटी मलबे के नीचे थी; ; और उसने कहा हां। मैंने पूछा कि उसकी बेटी कितनी पुरानी है, और उसने कहा कि वह पाँच साल की थी। यह किसी का क्षण था जो आपको इस भयानक, अत्याचारी, दुखद बात के बारे में सच्चाई बता रहा था जो उनके साथ हुआ था। ; वहाँ से, उसने दृष्टिकोण अपनाया। ; आप ; हमेशा एक अभिनेता के रूप में आश्चर्यचकित दिख रहे हैं, और यह पूरी तरह से नया अनुभव था, ; उसने कहा। ; आपको पता नहीं था कि क्या सामने आएगा, लेकिन तब मुझे ऐसा लगा कि एक पत्रकार कहानी को इकट्ठा कर रहा है। मेरा उस पर कोई ध्यान नहीं था। मैं सिर्फ सुन रहा था, जो वास्तव में अभिनय का सबसे अच्छा हिस्सा है। ;

बिजनेस स्टैंडर्ड - विदेशी बॉन्ड के पक्ष में नहीं रिजर्व बैंक विदेशी बॉन्ड के पक्ष में नहीं रिजर्व बैंक अनूप रॉय / मुंबई ऑगस्ट १२, २०१९ भारतीय रिजर्व बैंक द्वारा डॉलर में विदेशी सॉवरिन बॉन्ड के पक्ष में मत देने की संभावना कम है। सरकार के साथ रिजर्व बैंक की १६ अगस्त को बैठक होने वाली है। सूत्रों के मुताबिक रिजर्व बैंक को डर है कि विदेशी बॉन्डों को हरी झंडी देने से स्थानीय बॉन्डों में हस्तक्षेप खत्म हो जाएगा, जो रिजर्व बैंक द्वारा कड़ाई से नियंत्रित किए जाते हैं और केंद्रीय बैंक सरकार के धन का प्रबंधक होता है। बहरहाल विदेशी बॉन्डों और स्थानीय बॉन्डों को लंबे समय तक अलग अलग खांचे में नहीं रखा जा सकता और इससे अर्थव्यवस्था में ब्याज दरें प्रबंधित करने की रिजर्व बैंक की स्वतंत्रता उल्लेखनीय रूप से कम हो जाएगी। इस मसले पर रिजर्व बैंक के गवर्नर शक्तिकांत दास ने भी कोई प्रतिक्रिया देने से इनकार करते हुए इस बात पर जोर दिया कि रिजर्व बैंक का जो भी विचार होगा, सरकार को बता दिया जोगा। वहीं सूत्रों का कहना है कि रिजर्व बैंक ने इसे लेकर पहले ही अपनी आपत्तियां जता दी है और १६ अगस्त की बैठक में वह औपचारिक रूप से ऐसा कर देगा। इस समय ग्लोबल यील्ड शून्य करीब, यहां तक कि तमाम अर्थव्यवस्थाओं में यह शून्य से नीचे है और सरकार के लिए धन जुटाना सस्ता होगा, लेकिन केंद्रीय बैंक इसकी जरूरत नहीं महसूस कर रहा है क्योंकि घरेलू बॉन्ड यील्ड जनवरी के बाद से १०० आधार अंकों से भी ज्यादा कम हुआ है। सॉवरिन बॉन्ड की मौजूदगी मुद्रा में नॉन डिलिवरेबल फॉरवर्ड (एनडीएफ) मार्केट की तरह से काम कर सकता है, जिससे घरेलू मुद्रा बाजार की धारणा संचालित होती है। रिजर्व बैंक का एनडीएफ बाजार पर कोई नियंत्रण नहीं होता, यह व्यापक तौर पर अटकलबाजियोंं से संचालित होता है। एनडीएफ बाजार की विनिमय दरें प्राय: स्थानीय दरें निर्धारित करती हैं। संकट के समय में यह कनेक्शन और ज्यादा स्वाभाविक हो जाता है। रिजर्व बैंक की पूर्व डिप्टी गवर्नर उषा थोराट की अध्यक्षता में बने एक कार्यबल ने सुझाव दिया था कि उसी तरह की बुनियादी ढांचा सुविधाएं और ऑनशोर मुक्त कारोबार की सुविधाएं देकर किस तरह से ऑफशोर बाजार को ऑनशोर लाया जा सकता है। बहरहाल मुद्रा के विपरीत से बॉन्डों की मात्रा का संचालन करना आसान नहीं है और ऐसे में इस तरह के अनुचित ऑफशोर प्रभाव की संभावना कम है। लेकिन रिजर्व बैंक को डर है कि इससे जो संकेत जाएगा, वह स्थानीय बाजार में व्यवधान डालने के लिए पर्याप्त होगा। एक और चिंता की बात यह है कि सभी बाजार हिस्सेदारों को डर है कि जब भी सॉवरिन बॉ्ज आएगा क्रेडिट डिफॉल्ट स्वैप (सीडीएस) होगा और यह पूरी तरह से सट्टेबाजी पर आधारित होगा। चिंता की बात है कि इन सीडीएस का कारोबार होगा और आगे उसे टुकड़ोंं में विभाजित कर विभिन्न साधनों में समायोजित किया जाएगा। इसकी वजह से संपत्तियोंं का विभिन्न वर्ग बनेगा और इसका सरकार से कोई संबंध नहीं होगा बल्कि यह घरेलू बॉन्ड बाजार में संकेत भेजेगा। इससे साधनों में हेरफेर आसान होगा और इससे स्थानीय बॉन्डों पर नकारात्मक असर पड़ सकता है। पिछले सप्ताह एक नोट में इंडिया रेटिंग्स ऐंड रिसर्च में कहा, 'इससे (सीडीएस) से जहां मूल्य की खोज में मदद मिलेगी, विदेशी बॉन्डों से घरेलू बाजार पर विदेशी बाजारोंं की वजह से विपरीत असर पड़ेगा। तमाम हेज फंड व निवेश कंपनियां सीडीएस कॉन्ट्रैक्ट कर सकती हैं, और इसमें सिक्योरिटी की जररूरत नहीं होगी व यह पूरी तरह से अटकलबाजियोंं पर आधारित होगा।' रिजर्व बैंक की चिंता भी कुछ इसी तरह की है, जिसका माना है कि विदेशी सॉवरिन बॉन्ड जारी किए जाने से 'फीडबैक प्रॉसेस' को प्रमुखता मिलेगी और घरेलू ऋण बाजार पर इसका असर पड़ेगा और इससे मौद्रिक नीति का असर कमजोर हो सकता है। वित्त मंत्री निर्मला सीतारमण ने इस तरह के बॉन्ड जारी करने का प्रस्ताव २०१९-२० के बजट में रखा था और तर्क दिया था कि भारत का बाहरी कर्ज सकल घरेलू उत्पाद (जीडीपी) के ५ प्रतिशत से कम है। मार्च २०१९ के आखिर तक कुल विदेशी कर्ज १०३.८ अरब डॉलर था, जो जीडीपी का ३.८ प्रतिशत है। रिजर्व बैंक के पूर्व गवर्नरों ने इस कदम पर आपत्ति जताई है। रघुराम राजन ने कहा था कि इस कदम से लाभ होने की कोई संभावना तो नहीं है, लेकिन जोखिम भरपूर है। राजन ने कहा कि कुल १० अरब डॉलर का बॉन्ड हो सकता है,जो सकल उधारी का १० प्रतिशत है, लेकिन समय बीतने के साथ इसके बढऩे का डर है। सॉवरिन बॉन्ड जारी होने से रिजर्व बैंक के कर्ज प्रबंधन का अधिकार कम हो सकता है, जो केंद्रीय बैंंक संभवत: छोडऩा नहीं चाहेगा।

मोदी सरकार ने रूस के प्रस्ताव को किया खारिज, अडानी ग्रुप के साथ करना चाहता था ये काम | भस्मसुर मोदी सरकार ने रूस के प्रस्ताव को किया खारिज, अडानी ग्रुप के साथ करना चाहता था ये काम मोदी सरकार ने रूस के उस प्रस्ताव को खारिज कर दिया है, जिसमें उसने अडानी ग्रुप के साथ मिलकर भारत में एके-सीरीज की आधुनिक असॉल्ट राइफलें बनाने की पेशकश की थी। रक्षा मंत्री निर्मला सीतारमण की रूस यात्रा होनी है। इस यात्रा में क्लाशनिकोव-१०३ असॉल्ट राइफलों के भारत में उत्पादन को लेकर दोनों देशों के बीच करार को लेकर वार्ता हो सकती है। रूस ने प्रस्ताव दिया था कि वह भारत में अपनी इस असॉल्ट राइफल के संयुक्त उत्पादन के लिए निजी क्षेत्र की कंपनी अडानी के साथ साझेदारी करना चाहता है लेकिन भारत ने इस प्रस्ताव से इनकार कर दिया. नियमों के मुताबिक दो सरकारों के बीच हुए समझौते में कोई भी पक्ष अपने लिए निजी क्षेत्र के सहयोगी का नाम नहीं सुझा सकता. इन राइफलों के संयुक्त उत्पादन के लिए रूस की ओर से साझेदार वही कंपनी होगी, जो एके-४७ सीरीज की राइफलें बनाती है. साझेदार कंपनी चुनने में छूट न मिलने के बाद देश की ऑर्डिनेंस फैक्टरी को संभवतः प्रोडक्शन एजेंसी बनाया जा सकता है. रक्षा मंत्रालय की असल योजना के मुताबिक, ऑर्डिनेंस फैक्टरी को इस प्रोजेक्ट में प्रोडक्शन एजेंसी बनाया जा सकता है. एके-१०३ राइफलें एक-४७ असॉल्ट राइफलों का आधुनिक वर्जन हैं. यह पूरी दुनिया में काफी पसंद की जाती है. एके-४७ राइफलों को उत्पादन दूसरे विश्व युद्ध के खत्म होने के बाद शुरू हुआ था. प्रेवियस आर्टियलब्लैकमेलिंग के खिलाफ कोई भी पत्रकार संगठन कभी नहीं बोला ! नेक्स्ट आर्टियलअभी अभी: लोकसभा चुनाव से पहले बीजेपी को बड़ा झटका, इस दिग्गज नेता ने

अरबों के बजट वाला बच्चों का मरघट स्वास्थ्य सेवाओं के करोड़ों रु. के घोटाले अगर आपको सिर्फ आंकड़े लगते हैं तो इसकी मानवीय कीमत जानने के लिए पूर्वी यूपी आना चाहिए. यहां बच्चे जिस तरह से दम तोड़ रहे हैं और अपाहिज हो रहे हैं, वह भारतीय लोकतंत्र पर काला धब्बा है. बच्चों का श्मशान बने कुशीनगर से लौटकर बता रहे हैं आशीष मिश्र. लखनऊ, २७ नवंबर २०१२, अपडेटेड ०४ दिसंबर २०१२ ०८:३४ इस्ट उत्तर प्रदेश के गोरखपुर से ८० किमी दूर कुशीनगर का जिला अस्पताल इन्सेफ्लाइटिस (दिमागी बुखार) की रोकथाम के सरकारी दावों की पोल खोलने के लिए काफी है. जून माह में राज्य सरकार ने राष्ट्रीय बाल अधिकार आयोग को एक रिपोर्ट भेजकर इन्सेफ्लाइटिस पीडि़त कुशीनगर इलाके के जिला अस्पताल को २४ घंटे स्वास्थ्य सेवाएं मुहैया कराने का दावा किया. हकीकत यह है कि २४ घंटे चलने वाली इमरजेंसी सेवा के लिए यहां एक भी मेडिकल ऑफिसर तैनात नहीं है. इन्सेफ्लाइटिस रोगियों के लिए अलग से कोई आइसीयू भी नहीं है. गोरखपुर के बाबा राघव दास (बीआरडी) मेडिकल कॉलेज का नेहरू अस्पताल शायद देश का इकलौता अस्पताल है, जहां बीते ३४ वर्ष के दौरान ८,३०० बच्चे इन्सेफ्लाइटिस के कारण दम तोड़ चुके हैं. चाचा नेहरू के नाम पर बने अस्पताल में इस साल अब तक ४९० मासूम इस बीमारी से जिंदगी की जंग हार चुके हैं, और सैकड़ों बच्चे अब भी मौत से संघर्ष कर रहे हैं. कुशीनगर के रामपुर गांव से आई ३५ वर्षीया शीला की तीन साल की बेटी प्रीति आइसीयू में वेंटिलेटर की नकली सांसों के सहारे इस बीमारी से लड़ रही है तो इसी बिस्तर पर दो साल का आफरीन भी अचेत पड़ा है. वेंटिलेटर का मॉनिटर बता रहा है कि आफरीन की सांसें ठीक चल रही हैं, लेकिन वह कब तक खुद की सांसों के सहारे जीने लगेगा, डॉक्टर इस बारे में कुछ नहीं बता पा रहे. एक हफ्ते के भीतर यहां १८ बच्चों की मृत्यु हो चुकी है और १०८ बिस्तरों वाले इस वार्ड में भर्ती ९६ बच्चों के परिजन हर वक्त किसी अनहोनी की आशंका के साथ जी रहे हैं. इन्सेफ्लाइटिस पूर्वांचल के जिलों के लिए एक त्रासदी बन चुकी है. गोरखपुर, देवरिया, बस्ती, महाराजगंज, कुशीनगर, सिद्घार्थनगर, संत कबीर नगर, बहराइच, लखीमपुर खीरी और गोंडा में हर साल इस बीमारी के कारण सैकड़ों बच्चों की मौत हो जाती है. इस बार भी २० नवंबर तक इन जिलों में कुल मिलाकर दिमागी बुखार से पीडि़त ३,११२ मरीज सामने आ चुके हैं, जिनमें ५१० की मृत्यु हो चुकी है. पिछले सात वर्षों के दौरान इस बीमारी ने २५,००० से ज्यादा लोगों को अपनी चपेट में लिया है और अब तक कुल ४,९०७ के लिए यह जानलेवा साबित हुई है. हालांकि जाड़े का मौसम आते ही बीमारी अपने ढलान पर है, लेकिन भर्ती मरीजों की मौत का सिलसिला अब भी जारी है. बीआरडी मेडिकल कॉलेज के प्रधानाचार्य डॉ. के.पी. कुशवाहा बताते हैं, ''इन्सेफ्लाइटिस बीमारी से पीडि़त ३० से ४0 फीसदी बच्चों की मृत्यु हो जाती है. पूर्वांचल के जिलों में दिमागी बुखार की यह बीमारी १९७८ से हर वर्ष हजारों बच्चों को अपनी चपेट में ले रही थी, लेकिन २००५ में इसके सबसे भयंकर रूप में सामने आने पर केंद्र और राज्य सरकार चेतीं. बीमारी के कारणों पर शोध हुआ तो जापानी इन्सेफ्लाइटिस (जेई) वायरस की पहचान हुई, जो बच्चों की मौत का कारण था. इसके बाद २००६ में ३,५०० करोड़ रु. खर्च करके ६० लाख और चार साल बाद २०१० में ५,५०० करोड़ रु. खर्च करके 7५ लाख बच्चों को जापानी इन्सेफ्लाइटिस से बचाव के टीके लगाए गए. टीकाकरण का असर दिखा और जापानी इन्सेफ्लाइटिस से पीड़ित मरीजों की संख्या में तेजी से गिरावट आई. 200५ में जहां जापानी इन्सेफ्लाइटिस से मरने वाले बच्चों की संख्या १,१0१ थी, वहीं 20११ में यह १6५ रही और इस वर्ष अब तक १4१ मरीजों को जापानी इन्सेफ्लाइटिस ने अपना शिकार बनाया है. जेई का प्रकोप भले कम हो गया पर दूसरी तरह के वायरस का खतरा बढ़ गया है. वर्ष २००७ से अब तक हर वर्ष दिमागी बुखार से मरने वाले बच्चों की तादाद ५०० का आंकड़ा पार कर रही है और ३,००० से ज्यादा बच्चे इसकी चपेट में आ रहे हैं. डॉ. कुशवाहा बताते हैं, ''बीते पांच वर्षों में जेई वायरस का प्रकोप कम हुआ है. अब एंटीरोवायरस बीमारी की वजह बन रहा है. दूषित पेयजल के जरिए बदन में दाखिल होकर दिमाग में सूजन पैदा करने वाले एंटीरोवायरस से बचाव के लिए कोई टीका नहीं है. केवल स्वच्छता से इसे फैलने से रोका जा सकता है, लेकिन इस ओर कोई भी प्रयास नहीं हो रहे हैं. समाजसेवी संस्था पूर्वांचल ग्रामीण सेवा समिति के उप-निदेशक फादर सोबिन बताते हैं कि दिमागी बुखार से पीडि़त ज्यादातर मरीज ग्रामीण इलाकों से आ रहे हैं. यहां पर भूगर्भ जल की ऊपरी परत प्रदूषित है. वे कहते हैं, ''गांवों में हैंड पंपों की बोरिंग ८० फुट तक ही गहरी है, जिसे बढ़ाकर कम-से-कम १२० से १५० फुट करना चाहिए. यह बीमारी रोकने में कारगर हो सकता है. बीमारी की रोकथाम के लिए चले सरकारी टीकाकरण अभियान पर भी सवाल उठ रहे हैं. गोरखपुर में 'इन्सेफ्लाइटिस उन्मूलन अभियान के चीफ कैंपेनर और वरिष्ठ बाल रोग विशेषज्ञ डॉ. आर.एन. सिंह कहते हैं, ''जेई टीकाकरण तभी कारगर है, जब एक टीके के ३६५ दिन के भीतर दूसरी डोज भी दी जाए, लेकिन सरकार केवल एक ही डोज से काम चला रही है. बीआरडी मेडिकल कॉलेज के बाल रोग विभाग के आइसीयू में भर्ती गोविंदपुर, देवरिया निवासी सात वर्षीय आभास के पिता ३० वर्षीय अवधेश राम कहते हैं, ''दो साल पहले मेरे बेटे को जेई का टीका लगने के बावजूद उसे बीमारी हो गई. असल में स्थानीय प्रशासन के पास अभी तक कोई ऐसा आंकड़ा नहीं है, जिससे यह पता लगाया जा सके कि किन लोगों का टीकाकरण हुआ है. सरकार का दावा है कि दिमागी बुखार पीडि़त जिलों में शत-प्रतिशत लोगों को टीका लगाया गया है. स्वास्थ्य निदेशालय में तैनात एक संयुक्त निदेशक बताते हैं कि विभाग के पास ऐसी कोई जानकारी नहीं है कि किन लोगों को टीके लगाए गए थे. इससे इस बात की पड़ताल नहीं हो पा रही कि टीकाकरण कितना प्रभावी साबित हुआ है. बीआरडी मेडिकल कॉलेज में कम्युनिटी मेडिसिन विभाग के प्रमुख प्रो. डी.के. श्रीवास्तव सुझाव देते हैं, ''दिसंबर महीने में शुरू होने वाले टीकाकरण अभियान में राशन कार्ड या बीपीएल कार्ड में टीका लगाए जाने की जानकारी दर्ज करनी चाहिए. बदकिस्मती से दिमागी बुखार के मरीजों से पटा पड़ा बीआरडी मेडिकल कॉलेज का बाल रोग विभाग भी डॉक्टरों की कमी से जूझ रहा है. २००९ में कॉलेज के बाल रोग विभाग में ६ वरिष्ठ शिक्षक, १० सीनियर रेजिडेंट, २० जूनियर रेजिडेंट समेत अन्य सहायक कर्मचारियों के १५९ पद सृजित हुए, लेकिन अभी तक डॉक्टरों के पद भर नहीं पाए हैं. मेडिकल कॉलेज में चार सीनियर रेजिडेंट, चार जूनियर रेजिडेंट और महज एक शिक्षक तैनात है. बाकी पद खाली हैं. इस कॉलेज के प्रधानाचार्य डॉ. कुशवाहा बताते हैं कि उक्त पदों पर तैनात लोगों के वेतन के लिए एनआरएचएम से २००९ में ५ करोड़ ८८ लाख रु. मिले थे, जो पिछले वर्ष अप्रैल माह में समाप्त हो गया. इसके बाद वेतन की राशि की अगली किस्त जारी होने में करीब पांच माह का समय लगा और संविदा यानी कांट्रेक्ट पर तैनात सभी शिक्षक मेडिकल कॉलेज छोड़कर चले गए थे. नई तैनाती के लिए प्रयास चल रहा है. कुशवाहा कहते हैं, ''मेडिकल कॉलेज के बाल रोग विभाग में डिप्लोमा की सीटें वर्ष २०१३ में १० से बढ़कर २० हो जाएंगी. इससे डॉक्टरों की कमी काफी हद तक दूर हो जाएगी. इन्सेफ्लाइटिस से पीडि़त १० जिलों में से गोरखपुर को छोड़कर अन्य किसी जिले में अभी तक वेंटिलेटर युक्त आइसीयू नहीं है. इन जिलों में मौजूद कुल ५३ सामुदायिक स्वास्थ्य केंद्रोंसीएचसीमें से आधे में बच्चों के डॉक्टर तैनात नहीं हैं. कुशीनगर के कसया सामुदायिक स्वास्थ्य केंद्र में दिमागी बुखार से पीड़ित बच्चों के लिए अलग वार्ड तो बना दिया गया, लेकिन इलाज के लिए जरूरी ऑक्सीजन, एम्बुबैग की पर्याप्त व्यवस्था न होने के कारण पिछले चार माह के दौरान यहां से ३५० मरीजों को गोरखपुर मेडिकल कॉलेज रेफर कर दिया गया. राष्ट्रीय बाल अधिकार आयोग की कोर कमेटी के चेयरमैन डॉ. योगेश दुबे कहते हैं, ''इन्सेफ्लाइटिस से हजारों बच्चों की मौत के लिए केंद्र और राज्य, दोनों ही सरकारें जिम्मेदार हैं. पूर्वांचल के लिए अभिशाप बन गए दिमागी बुखार ने अब तक २०,००० बच्चों को जीवन भर की विकलांगता भी दी है. बीआरडी मेडिकल कॉलेज के बाल रोग विभाग में भर्ती दो वर्षीया पूजा दिमागी बुखार से तो जीत गई, लेकिन बड़ी दिमाग की कोशिकाओं के बड़ी संख्या में नष्ट हो जाने के कारण उसका मस्तिष्क खराब हो चुका है. बिस्तर पर पड़ी पूजा लगातार अपना पैर चला रही है और डॉक्टरों का कहना है कि अब वह जीवनभर ऐसे ही करती रहेगी. ऐसे मरीजों के लिए मेडिकल कॉलेज में बना मनोविकास केंद्र औपचारिकता भर है. मानसिक रूप से विकलांग हो चुके बच्चों के लिए यहां एक भी न्यूरोलॉजिस्ट नहीं है. जर्जर भवन में चल रहे इस केंद्र में संविदा पर तैनात डेढ़ दर्जन कर्मचारी कुछ उपकरणों के सहारे विकलांगों के पुनर्वास की कोशिश करते हैं. लेकिन कितनों को अब तक इस केंद्र से लाभ मिला है, इसका कोई ब्यौरा उपलब्ध नहीं है. इसी ब्यौरे को दर्ज करने के लिए यहां के रजिस्ट्रेशन काउंटर पर लगाया गया कंप्यूटर अरसे से खराब पड़ा है. पूर्वांचल के १० पीडि़त जिलों के बीच एकमात्र मनोविकास केंद्र होने के बावजूद यहां अधिकतम १५ से २० मरीज ही हर रोज पहुंचते हैं. उत्तर प्रदेश सरकार के स्वास्थ्य मंत्री अहमद हसन कहते हैं, ''हमारी सरकार दिमागी बुखार से पीडि़त जिलों के अस्पतालों में वेंटिलेटर युक्त आइसीयू मुहैया कराने की दिशा में प्रयास कर रही है. यहां कम-से-कम १०० वेंटिलेटर लगेंगे. जिन अस्पतालों में चिकित्सकों की कमी है, उसे पूरा किया जा रहा है. प्रदेश के मुख्य सचिव इस बीमारी की रोकथाम पर लगातर नजर रख रहे हैं. हमारी सरकार दिमागी बुखार से हो रही मौतों को हर हाल में रोकेगी. मुख्य सचिव जावेद उस्मानी ने इन्सेफ्लाइटिस प्रभावित जिलों के जिलाधिकारियों और स्वास्थ्यकर्मियों को ऐसी व्यवस्था करने को कहा है कि अगले साल इससे कोई मौत न हो. उन्होंने उनकी जिम्मेदारियों को स्पष्ट कर दिया है और यह भी जता दिया है कि इस बीमारी से मौत के मामलों में अधिकारियों को जिम्मेदार माना जाएगा. पाड़ित बच्चों और उनके माता-पिता की परेशानियों से सरकार की नींद खुल जाए तो सरकारी अधिकारी और कर्मचारी रोकथाम के उपाय करके काफी मासूमों की जिंदगी बचा सकते हैं. दिमागी बुखार से अब तक २५१ की मौत दिमागी बुखार से अबतक २२७ बच्चों की मौत दिमागी बुखार: इस साल भी वही मंजर, वही तबाही दिमागी बुखार से मरने वालों की संख्या ४२ हुई

समय के साथ बदल गया है आपका पार्टनर, तो उसे इस तरह करें हैंडल अगर आपको ऐसा लग रहा है कि आपका पार्टनर अब पहले जैसा नहीं रहा तो आप परेशान होने की बजाय इन टिप्स को अपनाएं। बदलाव प्रकृति का नियम है। एक वक्त में बाद हर चीज में बदलाव आता ही है, भले ही वह आपका रिश्ता ही क्यों न हो। अमूमन देखने में आता है कि रिश्ते की शुरूआत में व्यक्ति के मन में अपने पार्टनर को लेकर प्यार व जुनून होता है, लेकिन समय के साथ-साथ वह जुनून भी कम होने लगता है। साथ ही एक वक्त के बाद व्यक्ति की जिम्मेदारियां बढ़ने लगती हैं और वह अपनी जिम्मेदारियों को पूरा करने में इस कदर व्यस्त हो जाता है कि उसका स्वभाव बदलने लगता है और उसे इसका पता ही नहीं चलता। पुरूष को भले ही इस बात का अहसास न हो, लेकिन उनमें आने वाले बदलावों का असर न सिर्फ रिश्ते पर पड़ता है, बल्कि इसके कारण महिला के मन में भी कई तरह की उथल-पुथल होने लगती है। अगर आप भी अपने पार्टनर के बदलते स्वभाव के कारण बैचेन हैं, तो आपको परेशान होने की जरूरत नहीं है। इन आसान उपायों को अपनाकर आप बेहद आसानी से इसे मैनेज कर सकती हैं- अगर आपको अपने पार्टनर में बदलाव नजर आ रहे हैं तो उसके लिए पैनिक न हों। दरअसल, कई बार व्यक्ति अपने कामों में इस कदर उलझ जाता है कि उसका स्वभाव थोड़ा बदल जाता है। यह बिल्कुल सामान्य है और इसमें परेशान होने की कोई बात नहीं होती। आप इसे सहजता से लें, अगर आप ऐसा करेंगी तो इससे आपके रिश्ते पर असर नहीं पड़ेगा। अपने पार्टनर के व्यवहार को लेकर परेशान होने या झगड़ा करने से पहले आप खुद से भी सवाल करें और पूछे कि क्या आपका स्वभाव भी अब पहले जैसा ही है। क्या अब भी आप अपने पार्टनर के साथ वैसा ही व्यवहार करती हैं, जैसा पहले किया करती थीं। यकीनन आपको जवाब ना में ही मिलेगा, जिस तरह समय बीतने और जिम्मेदारियों के बढ़ने के बाद आपका स्वभाव बदल गया है, उसी तरह आपके पार्टनर के व्यवहार में परिवर्तन आना स्वाभाविक है। अगर आपको लग रहा है कि आपके पार्टनर के स्वभाव में परिवर्तन के पीछे कोई परेशानी है। मसलन, अगर आपके पार्टनर के चेहरे पर आपको चिंता नजर आती है, उनके खाना खाने का तरीका भी बदल गया है और वह ज्यादातर चुप-चुप रहते हैं तो इसका अर्थ है कि वह मन ही मन किसी बात को लेकर चिंतित हैं। ऐसे में आप उनसे बात जरूर करें और यह जानने का प्रयास करें कि किस बात की वजह से उनका स्वभाव बदला है। जब आपको कारण पता चल जाए तो आप अपनी परेशानी जरूर साझा करें। जीवन जब एक ही ढर्रे पर चलने लगता है तो उसमें एक बोरियत छा जाती है और इस बोरियत का असर आपके स्वभाव पर भी पड़ता है। ऐसे में अपने रिश्ते में नयापन लाने के लिए आपको ही कुछ कदम उठाने होंगे। जैसे आप अपने पार्टनर के लिए सरप्राइज डिनर डेट या वेकेशन प्लान कर सकती हैं। जब आप दोनों को अपनी रोजमर्रा की जिन्दगी से छुट्टी मिलेगी तो आपको अपने रिश्ते को रिजुविनेट करने का मौका मिलेगा। इसे भी पढ़ें: बिजी लाइफ में अपने रिश्ते के लिए समय निकालने के लिए अपनाएं यह आसान उपाय कई बार पार्टनर का बदलता स्वभाव आपके रिश्ते के लिए खतरे की घंटी हो सकता है और आपको समय रहते ही इस दस्तक को सुन लेना चाहिए। जैसे अगर आपके पार्टनर का व्यवहार एकदम से काफी बदल गया हो और वह आपसे बातें छिपाने लगें या फिर अपने फोन में लॉक रखें। आपसे छिपकर दूसरों से बात करें। इस तरह के बदलते व्यवहार को बिल्कुल भी नजरअंदाज न करें और अपने पार्टनर से इस बारे में साफ-साफ बात करें।
- पंचायतों के लिए युवा कांग्रेसियों ने छेड़ा अभियान, कथुआ न्यूज इन हिन्दी -अमर उजाला बेहतर अनुभव के लिए अपनी सेटिंग्स में जाकर हाई मोड चुनें। कथुआ पंचायतों के लिए युवा कांग्रेसियों ने छेड़ा अभियान कठुआ। पंचायतों को अधिकार दिलाने के उद्देश्य से शुरू की गई मुहिम का शनिवार को जोरदार आगाज हो गया। युवा कांग्रेस के पदाधिकारियों ने कठुआ जिले में तहसील स्तर पर ज्ञापन सौंपकर पंचायती राज अधिनियम से संबंधित संशोधन को जम्मू कश्मीर में लागू करने की मांग उठाई। इससे पूर्व युवा कांग्रेसियाें के पदाधिकारियों का समूह शहीद भगत सिंह पार्क में एकत्रित हुआ और जुलूस की शक्ल में जिला उपायुक्त कार्यालय तक नारेबाजी करते हुए गुजरा। जुलूस का नेतृत्व कर रहे युवा कांग्रेस के राष्ट्रीय सचिव और प्रदेश युवा कांग्रेस प्रभारी चेतन चौहान समेत अन्य पदाधिकारियों ने कहा कि ७३वें और ७४वें संशोधन को लागू किए बिना जम्मू कश्मीर में सत्ता विकेंद्रीकरण का लक्ष्य अधूरा है। राज्य में सफलतापूर्वक पंचायतों के चुनाव करवाए गए लेकिन उन्हें अधिकारियों से वंचित रखकर चुनाव की महत्ता को चरितार्थ नहीं किया गया। रियासत में न तो ग्राम सभाओं के जरिये पारदर्शिता बहाल हो पा रही है और ना ही पंचायती अदालतों का गठन किया जा सका है। विधानसभा का कार्यकाल छह वर्ष का है, लेकिन पंचायतों को पांच वर्ष का कार्यकाल दिया गया है। पंचायती नुमाइंदों को अभी तक मानदेय की सुविधा भी नहीं दी गई है। जिला उपायुक्त को ज्ञापन देने से पूर्व युवा कांग्रेस के पदाधिकारियों ने पार्टी और पंचायती अधिकारों के समर्थन में नारेबाजी भी की। इस अवसर पर विधानसभा युवा कांग्रेस अध्यक्ष पंकज शर्मा ने कहा कि ज्ञापन सौंपने के लिए कठुआ से आगाज किया गया है। इसी तरह से पच्चीस अगस्त तक जिला व तहसील स्तर पर ज्ञापन सौंपे जाएंगे। इस अवसर पर युवा कांग्रेस के प्रदेश अध्यक्ष शहनवाज चौधरी, संसदीय क्षेत्र अध्यक्ष पंकज बसोत्रा, संसदीय क्षेत्र के महासचिव परमजीत सिंह, अजातशत्रु, संसदीय क्षेत्र उपाध्यक्ष प्रणव शगोत्रा, विधानसभा क्षेत्र उपाध्यक्ष अश्वनी कुमार, महासचिव विकास शर्मा समेत कुछ पंचायती नुमाइंदे भी शामिल थे। कैसा लगा
मनोहर पर्रिकर की तबीयत बिगड़ी, बदली होने की चर्चा की संभावना: गोवा के डिप्टी स्पीकर - विस डेली मनोहर पर्रिकर की तबीयत बिगड़ी, बदली होने की चर्चा की संभावना: गोवा के डिप्टी स्पीकर भारतीय जनता पार्टी (भाजपा) के नेता और डिप्टी स्पीकर माइकल लोबो ने रविवार को कहा कि गोवा के मुख्यमंत्री मनोहर पर्रिकर की तबीयत खराब हो गई है। उन्होंने यह भी कहा कि पार्टी के वरिष्ठ नेता मनोहर पर्रिकर के स्थान पर चयन करेंगे। बैठक भारतीय जनता पार्टी (भाजपा) के नेता और डिप्टी स्पीकर माइकल लोबो ने रविवार को कहा कि गोवा के मुख्यमंत्री मनोहर पर्रिकर की तबीयत खराब हो गई है। उन्होंने यह भी कहा कि पार्टी के वरिष्ठ नेता मनोहर पर्रिकर के स्थान पर चयन करेंगे। बैठक सुबह १०.३० बजे से शुरू होनी है। माइकल लोबो ने कहा कि भाजपा ने फैसला किया है कि अगले मुख्यमंत्री को विधायकों में से चुना जाना चाहिए। माइकल लोबो ने यह भी स्वीकार किया कि पार्टी ने शनिवार को एक बैठक में मनोहर पर्रिकर के प्रतिस्थापन पर चर्चा की। "उनका स्वास्थ्य खराब हो गया है। वरिष्ठ नेता आज आ रहे हैं। वे सहयोगी दलों गोवा फॉरवर्ड पार्टी और महाराष्ट्रवादी गोमांतक पार्टी के साथ चर्चा करेंगे। पार्टी के भीतर से किसी का चयन किया जाएगा। पार्टी ने फैसला किया है कि इसे विधायकों में से एक होना चाहिए," माइकल लोबो। उन्होंने कहा कि भाजपा गोवा में अपने सहयोगियों को मनाने की कोशिश करेगी। डिप्टी स्पीकर ने शनिवार को कहा था कि गोवा के मुख्यमंत्री मनोहर पर्रिकर की जांच कर रहे डॉक्टर कह नहीं रहे हैं कि वह ठीक हो जाएंगे। उन्होंने यह भी कहा था कि जब तक पर्रिकर, जो उन्नत अग्नाशय के कैंसर से पीड़ित हैं, जीवित हैं, तब तक भाजपा के नेतृत्व वाली गठबंधन सरकार में कोई नेतृत्व परिवर्तन नहीं होगा। आज, हालांकि, उन्होंने कहा कि पर्रिकर की बीमारी को देखते हुए मुख्यमंत्री को प्रतिस्थापित किया जा सकता है।

जम्मू-कश्मीर: बीजेपी- पीडीपी गंठबंधन में मतभेद - थे शियासत डेली जम्मू-कश्मीर: बीजेपी- पीडीपी गंठबंधन में मतभेद श्रीनगर। विचारधारा के स्तर पर विरोधी के सहयोग से गठबंधन सरकार चलाना एक कला है और इसे सफलतापूर्वक चलाना जादू है। आज के जो हालात हैं, उनमें ऐसा लग रहा है कि जम्मू एवं कश्मीर की मुख्यमंत्री महबूबा मुफ्ती जादूगर नहीं हैं। जम्मू एवं कश्मीर विधानमंडल के दोनों सदनों का अभूतपूर्व हंगामे के बीच निर्धारित समय से छह दिन पूर्व ही अनिश्चितकाल के लिए स्थगित होना भले ही विपक्ष के हंगामे का नतीजा लगे, लेकिन इसकी मूल वजह महबूबा की कश्मीर केंद्रित पीपुल्स डेमोक्रेटिक पार्टी (पीडीपी) और इसकी सहयोगी जम्मू केंद्रित भारतीय जनता पार्टी (भाजपा) के बीच के विचारधारात्मक मतभेद हैं। अच्छे से तैयार किए गए एक बयान में महबूबा ने विधानसभा में कहा कि संविधान की धारा ३७० और ३५ को निशाना बनाना कश्मीरियत के नाम से मशहूर राज्य की धर्मनिरपेक्ष और बहुलवादी संस्कृति की जड़ों को काटने के समान है। इसीलिए धारा ३७० पर कोई भी हमला राष्ट्र विरोधी है। ताज्जुब है कि भाजपा के खेमे से किसी ने इसका विरोध नहीं किया। यह बयान सोमवार को दिया गया। मंगलवार को जब विधानसभा की कार्यवाही हुई तब निर्दलीय विधायक पवन गुप्ता ने विधानसभा अध्यक्ष कविंद्र गुप्ता से सदन की कार्यवाही से राष्ट्र विरोधी शब्द को निकालने का आग्रह किया। अब भाजपा सदस्यों ने इस मांग का समर्थन किया। गुप्ता ने कहा कि वह पहले कार्यवाही का रिकार्ड देखेंगे। विपक्ष के नेता उमर अब्दुल्ला ने कहा कि मुख्यमंत्री के बयान को निकालने की मांग उनकी ही गठबंधन सहयोगी (भाजपा) द्वारा करना उनमें अविश्वास जताने के समान है और मुख्यमंत्री को इस पर सदन में सफाई देनी चाहिए। सदन को स्थगित कर दिया गया। बुधवार को कार्यवाही शुरू होने पर विधानसभा अध्यक्ष ने कहा कि उन्होंने रिकार्ड देखा है और मुख्यमंत्री के भाषण में ऐसा कुछ भी नहीं पाया है जिसे निकालने की जरूरत है। इसके बाद ऐसा हंगामा हुआ, जैसा राज्य विधानसभा में कभी देखा नहीं गया। माइक उखाड़ लिए गए, एक-दूसरे पर कुर्सियां फेंकी गईं, वरिष्ठ नेताओं तक के साथ मारपीट की नौबत आई। दो मार्शल घायल हो गए। कार्यवाही अनिश्चितकाल के लिए रोक दी गई। महबूबा ने मंगलवार और बुधवार को विधानसभा की कार्यवाही में हिस्सा नहीं लिया। पीडीपी ने कहा कि अध्यक्ष के स्पष्टीकरण के बाद मुख्यमंत्री को कोई बयान देने की जरूरत नहीं है। अंदरूनी सूत्रों का कहना है कि इस टिप्पणी पर बहस के दौरान महबूबा ने यह साफ कर दिया कि वह अपने बयान के हर शब्द पर कायम हैं। भाजपा के साथ पीडीपी के गठबंधन के समय महबूबा के पिता दिवंगत मुफ्ती मोहम्मद सईद ने कहा था कि यह उत्तरी और दक्षिणी ध्रुव का मिलन है। उन्होंने कहा था कि यह गठबंधन राज्य के हर हिस्से के विकास के लिए किया गया है। इसीलिए भाजपा, जो धारा ३७० का खात्मा चाहती है और पीडीपी जो स्वशासन चाहती है, दोनों ने अपने मुद्दों को ठंडे बस्ते में डाल दिया। महबूबा के लिए इस गठबंधन को बनाए रखना आसान नहीं है। उनके पास वह अनुभव और धैर्य नहीं है जो उनके पिता में था और जिसकी जरूरत उत्तरी और दक्षिणी ध्रुव जैसे दो एक-दूसरे से विचारधारात्मक रूप से उलट नेतृत्व को होती है।
राम रहीम की 'विषकन्याओं' का खुला राज! राम रहीम के आदेश पर करती थीं ये चौंकाने वाला काम.. - र्न टाइम्स हिन्दी होम अपराध राम रहीम की विषकन्याओं का खुला राज! राम रहीम के आदेश पर... राम रहीम की विषकन्याओं का खुला राज! राम रहीम के आदेश पर करती थीं ये चौंकाने वाला काम.. १३ अगस्त, २०१७ दो साध्वियों से रेप के जुर्म में २० साल की सजा भुगत रहे गुरमीत राम रहीम की विषकन्याओं पर एक और चौंकाने वाला खुलासा सामने आया है. क्रूर तानाशाह की तरह डेरे में अपनी सल्तनत चलाने वाले राम रहीम ने विष कन्याओं का दल भी बना रखा था जिसका कनेक्शन गुफा स्थित उसके शयन कक्ष से जुड़ा था. गुफा में ऐशो-आराम का हर सामान होने का खुलासा पहले ही हो चुका है. ख़बरों के मुताबिक डेरे में राम रहीम की विष कन्याओं का एक ग्रुप था. इस ग्रुप की महिलाओं का काम था डेरे की सुंदर लड़कियों को अपने झांसे में लेकर राम रहीम की गुफा तक पहुंचाना. ये विष कन्या राम रहीम की बेहद खास थीं और पहले खुद भी इस सब से गुजर चुकी होती थीं. विष कन्याओं के इस दल में वो महिलाएं शामिल थीं जो खुद कभी ना कभी गुरमीत की गुफा के जाल में फंस चुकी थीं. उम्रदराज होने के बाद उन्हें गुरमीत की हर सुख सुविधा का ध्यान रखने के काम पर लगा दिया जाता था. विष कन्याओं के दल में उन्हीं महिलाओं को शामिल किया जाता था जिन पर गुरमीत को पूरा भरोसा होता था. ये विष कन्याए अलग-अलग तरीकों से लड़कियों को बहकाती थीं. कहती थीं कि बाबा ने उनको अपना सबसे खास शिष्य मानाकर आशीर्वाद देने के लिए बुलाया है. विष कन्याएं मासूम लड़कियों से कहती थीं कि बाबा ने उनको पवित्र करने और आशीर्वाद देने के लिए अपने पास गुफा में बुलाया है. किसी साध्वी के मुंह से गलती से भी डेरे या गुरमीत के खिलाफ कोई शब्द निकल जाता तो उसे ऐसी यातना दी जाती थी कि जिसे वो कभी ना भूल सके. साध्वियों को आपस में बात करने की भी इजाजत नहीं दी जाती थी. ये विष कन्याएं हीं इस बात पर भी नजर रखती थीं कि डेरे की कोई भी लड़की राम रहीम के खिलाफ बात ना करे. जिसको ऐसा करते देख लिया जाता था उसको २४ घंटे तक बिना खाना-पानी के रखा जाता था. जो लड़कियां फिर भी नहीं मानती थीं उनको मन सुधार कमरे में लेकर जाया जाता था. वहां उनको कुर्सियों से बांध दिया जाता था और पीटा जाता था. विषकन्याएं जिन साध्वियों को गुफा में तैनाती के लायक नहीं समझती थीं, उनसे दिन रात डेरे में खाना बनाने, साफ सफाई, मंच की साज सज्जा समेत तमाम काम कराए जाते थे. वहीं सुंदर और पढ़ी-लिखी लड़कियों को गुफा की सेवा के अलावा स्कूल में बच्चों को पढ़ाने की जिम्मेदारी सौंपी जाती थी. गुरदास सिंह का राम रहीम जैसे दरिंदे को सजा दिलाने में नाम के शख्स का अहम रोल है. वह सीबीआई के गवाह थे. उन्होंने बताया कि उन विष कन्याओं पर कोई कार्रवाई नहीं हुई है. कुछ विष कन्याएं कथित तौर पर अभी डेरे में मौजूद हैं. उनमें से एक तो प्रेग्नेंट हो जाने वाली साध्वियों का गर्भपात करवाती थी. सोचने वाली बात यह है कि सीबीआई की चार्जशीट में जिक्र होने के बाद भी इन विषकन्याओं के खिलाफ ना तो अब तक कोई केस दर्ज हुआ है और ना ही उनकी धरपकड़ के लिए कोई कोशिश. ये जानते हुए भी कि ये विषकन्याएं गुरमीत के गुनाहों में भागीदार रही है. राम रहीम के पकडे जाने के बाद एक-एक करके सारे राज खुल रहे हैं. प्रेवियस आर्टियलवीडियो: ऑस्ट्रेलिया में हिन्दुओं के देवी-देवताओं का हुआ अपमान! इसके बाद हिन्दुओं में जबरदस्त आक्रोश नेक्स्ट आर्टियलमोदी सरकार की बड़ी जीत! अंडरवर्ल्ड डॉन दाऊद इब्राहिम को दे डाला ये बड़ा झटका, सदमे में दाऊद

कहानी / नायं हन्ति न हन्यते ! / राहुल देव | रचनाकार नायं हन्ति न हन्यते ! मत्स्यगंधा एक्सप्रेस खेत-खलिहानों, नदी-नालों को पार करती तेजी से आगे बढ़ती जा रही थी। इसी ट्रेन के द्वितीय श्रेणी ... मत्स्यगंधा एक्सप्रेस खेत-खलिहानों, नदी-नालों को पार करती तेजी से आगे बढ़ती जा रही थी। इसी ट्रेन के द्वितीय श्रेणी शयनयान के डिब्बे में अपनी बर्थ पर लेटा हुआ अमित सोच रहा था- छोटे से शहर महादेवपुरम में उसका बचपन बीता। पिता का ट्रान्सफर हो गया और वे दिल्ली आ गए। कुछ वर्षों के लिए सबकुछ छूट सा गया। हमेशा याद आई उनकी, इतने वर्ष बीत गए। क्या कर सकता है वह अपने गुरूजी के लिए, अपने जीवन आदर्श के लिए ? मिल पाउँगा उनसे, कैसे मिलूँगा, क्या कहूँगा ! ऐसे तमाम सवाल अमित के मस्तिष्क में उमड़-घुमड़ रहे थे। मास्टर जी का तेजस्वी चेहरा उसके मस्तिष्क के सामने आ रहा था, धुंधलका हट रहा था.... हमारे शिक्षक श्री सत्य प्रकाश जी, यथा नाम तथा गुण। बड़े ही अच्छे अध्यापक और वो भी हिंदी के। कोचिंग चलाते थे वे। प्रधानाचार्य थे वे एक छोटे से कोचिंग संस्थान के। स्वच्छन्द, बड़े ही अनुशासन प्रिय, सरल एवं प्रभावी व्यक्तित्व। लड़कों की पहली पसंद। वे जब भी पढ़ाते तो हमें ऐसा प्रतीत होता जैसे उनके पीछे कोई शक्ति पड़ी हो। कभी-कभी जोर-जोर से चिल्लाने लगते तो कभी इतना धीरे बोलते कि लड़के कूपमंडूक सुना ही करते। सत्य प्रकाश जी हिंदी साहित्य में निष्णात, कवि हृदय पुरुष थे। साहित्यानुराग उनके अन्य गुणों के साथ बोनस की तरह जुड़ा हुआ था। उन्हें अपने विषय पर गहरी पकड़ थी सो बगैर किताब के ही उनका लेक्चर शुरू हो जाता। छोटे से छोटे टॉपिक पर भी घंटों बोला करते। घंटी तो उन्हें सुनाई ही न पड़ती थी। जब बच्चे यह कहते कि गुरूजी कुछ प्रश्न-उत्तर, व्याख्या, जीवनी लिखवा दीजिये तो वे कहते- लिखा तो किताब में है ही, उसे ही पढ़ो। कक्षा में मैं जो बोलूं उसे ध्यान से सुनो। पुराने जमाने में जब किताबें नहीं थी तब मौखिक ही शिक्षण होता था और शुरू हो जाता उनका उपदेश। अब लड़के ठहरे हाईस्कूल/इन्टर स्तर की निचली कक्षाओं के और वो भी ग्रामीण बच्चे। कहाँ से समझ पाते इतनी गहराई की बातें। मेहनत व्यर्थ जाती उनकी लेकिन जी न चुराते पढ़ाने से। शायद इसीलिए संस्थान का रिजल्ट कभी इतना बढ़िया नहीं रहा। उनका शिक्षण सिर्फ पढ़ा देने या अंक दिला कर पास करा देने तक ही सीमित नहीं था। उनका शिक्षण बहुआयामी था। सभी लड़के-लड़कियां उनका बहुत सम्मान करते थे। वे भी उन्हें अपने बच्चों समान मानते थे। सत्य प्रकाश जी आर्थिक दृष्टि से थोड़ा विपन्न थे। वे पुरुषार्थ के बाकी तीन अवयवों का तो बखूबी पालन करने में तत्पर रहे परन्तु एक अवयव यानी की अर्थ से वे विलग ही रहे। उन्होंने कभी अपने या अपने परिवार के लिए धन इकट्ठा नहीं किया। शाहखर्च थे वे। जेब में पैसे हों तो क्या कहने, न हों तब भी कोई गम नहीं। जब लोग उनसे इस बारे में कहते तो वे सुनी सुनाई एक लाइन से सबको निरुत्तर कर देते वे कहते, पूत कपूत तो क्या धन संचे पूत सपूत तो क्या धन संचे। लोगों ने उन्हें मास्टर मस्तराम की संज्ञा दे दी थी। उन पर यह कहावत एकदम सटीक बैठती थी, मस्तराम मस्ती में आग लगे बस्ती में। कोचिंग में लड़कों ने सभी शिक्षकों के कुछ न कुछ नाम रख दिए थे। भौतिकी विषय के शिक्षक काफी मोटे थे उनका नाम गैंडास्वामी रखा गया, केमिस्ट्री के अध्यापक महोदय हमेशा अजीब से शकल लिए रहते थे मानो प्रेशर आया हुआ हो इसलिए उनका नामकरण हुआ- हगासा, कॉमर्स के टीचर क्लास में अक्सर हाथ उठा-उठाकर, ताली बजा बजाकर पढ़ाया करते थे उनका नाम रख गया- किन्नर, बायो के अध्यापक की शकल व बालों की स्टाइल फ़िल्मी हीरो शाहरुख़ खान से मिलती-जुलती थी इसलिए उनका नाम पड़ गया शाहरुख़ खान, गणित विषय के अध्यापक महोदय के चेहरे व शरीर पर सफ़ेद दाग थे सो उनका नाम दिया गया- सफेदा, कंप्यूटर के शिक्षक नाटे कद के थे इसलिए उनका नाम छोटू रखा गया। सभी अध्यापकों के पीठ पीछे हम उन्हें इन्हीं नामों से बुलाया करते। सचमुच वह भी क्या खूब मजे के दिन थे। इन सब बातों से दूर सत्यप्रकाश जी अन्य अध्यापकों से एकदम अलग थे वे लड़कों से कभी खुद ही पूछते- आज पढ़ने की इच्छा नहीं है क्या ! तो वो कभी चाय पिलवाते तो कभी नाश्ता करवाते। कोचिंग के अन्य शिक्षणगण विस्मित होते उनके व्यवहार से। वे छात्र एवं अध्यापक के संबंधों की गरिमा को अच्छी तरह से समझते थे। वे मनोवैज्ञानिक ढंग से बच्चों को डील करते थे। विश्राम करने के लिए सत्य प्रकाश जी कभी-कभी ऑफिस में ही ऊँघ लेते। कोई देखे तो यही कहे शायद देर रात तक जगते हैं। मगर ऐसा कुछ भी नहीं था। ये तो आदत थी उनकी। अब कुर्सी की पीड़ा को कौन झेले तो वही कोचिंग के ऑफिस में एक तखत भी डलवा लिया। जैसे ही थोड़ी फुर्सत/मौका मिलता तो वे उसी तखत पर पसर जाते। कभी-कभी सभी लोग चले जाते और वे छुट्टी के बाद भी घोड़े बेच कर सोया ही करते जब तक घर से उनका लड़का उन्हें बुलाने न आ जाये। वे कर्मयोगी थे। एक दार्शनिकता सी थी उनके जीवन में। प्रबंधक सहित सभी शिक्षक सोचते थे जब ये दिनभर एक दो पीरियड पढ़ाने के अलावा सोया ही करते हैं तो आखिर सभी रजिस्टर, फाइलें, फीस इंट्री, आय-व्यय का विवरण कैसे रखते होंगे। यही सोचकर एक दिन हो गया सत्य प्रकाश जी के ऑफिस का औचक निरीक्षण। प्रबंधक सहित कार्यकारिणी के कई वरिष्ठ सदस्य कोचिंग परिसर में दाखिल हुए। उन्होंने देखा कि सत्य प्रकाश जी आराम फरमा रहे हैं। प्रबंधक महोदय का पारा चढ़ गया। उन्होंने सोचा कि अगर सभी एंट्रियाँ पूर्ण न मिलीं तो इन्हें रखने से क्या फायदा। ये तो अव्यवस्था है, बच्चे क्या सोचते होंगे ? ऐसा बड़बड़ाते हुए उन्होंने मेज पर, अलमारी के सभी कागज़ पत्रों की जांच कर डाली। आश्चर्य ! सबकुछ इतना मेनटेन था कि प्रबंधक सहित सभी शिक्षकों को हैरानी हुई। तभी सत्यप्रकाश जी उठ बैठे और बेमतलब खड़े हुए शिक्षकों से बोले, आप लोग यहाँ पर क्या कर रहें हैं। जाइये अपने-अपने क्लास लीजिये। कितना शोर हो रहा है। बेचारे प्रबंधक जी खिसिया गये, क्या कहते- चुपचाप लौट गये। सत्यप्रकाश जी के विरोधियों को काटो तो खून नहीं। उनके सहज और शांत स्वभाव के कारण संस्थान के वरिष्ठ शिक्षकों की निगाहें उनकी कुर्सी पर लगीं रहतीं और वे मौका पा के प्रबंधक महोदय के कान भरा करते, परास्त होने पर अपनी खीझ बच्चों पर निकालते। हम सब लड़के सब समझते थे। गुप्त रूप से सारी सूचनाएँ गुरूजी के पास पहुँच जातीं। कुल मिलाकर उनका सूचनातंत्र बड़ा सबल था। मेहनत से वे कतराते न थे। समय से पहले ही उनका सब काम पूरा हो जाता। अब इतना बचा समय। करें तो क्या करें तो सोचते कि विश्राम किया जाए। कभी-कभी अपनी तरफ से वे आकस्मिक अवकाश घोषित कर देते या कभी बच्चों से कहते, अब तुम लोग थक गये होगे। चाहो तो अपनी-अपनी बेंचों पर लेट जाओ। कम पड़ें तो ऑफिस से उठा लाओ। मानो कोचिंग नहीं आरामगाह हो। सत्यप्रकाश जी कहा करते, पढ़ो भी, आराम भी करो ! प्रतिरोधक क्षमता/शक्ति बढती है इससे। पता नहीं उनकी इस आरामतलबी के पीछे क्या कारण था। खैर जो भी हो थे बड़े ही अच्छे। एक आदर्श अध्यापक में जो गुण होने चाहिए थे वे सभी उनमें विद्यमान थे। विद्यार्थियों और उनके बीच के भाव कृत्रिम नहीं बल्कि अपनत्व से भरे थे। फीस के लिए तो उन्होंने कभी कहा ही नहीं लेकिन जब उन्हें जरुरत पड़ती तो किसी छात्र विशेष को अकेले में बुलाकर सत्यप्रकाश जी संकोच से कहते, बेटा ! कुछ पैसे हों ज़रा दे देना, बाद में मुझसे ले लेना। मानो उधार मांग रहे हों। मेरा मानना था कि यदि वे आर्थिक रूप से सुदृढ़ होते तो सबकी फीस खुद ही जमा कर देते। बड़े ही नेक इंसान थे सत्यप्रकाश जी ! लेकिन इतना सब कुछ कैसे और कब तक चलता। कोचिंग में घाटा तो लगना ही था। बमुश्किल ५०-६० बच्चे और ५ अध्यापक ऊपर से बिल्डिंग का किराया, प्रबंधक का हिस्सा तथा अन्य खर्चे अलग। सत्यप्रकाश जी किसी से कुछ न कहते। वे अपने विद्यार्थियों से हमेशा जोर देकर कहते कि, अभी पढ़ लो, आगे विश्राम करोगे जिंदगी भर। मैं उनसे बहुत प्रभावित था। दूरदराज़ के जो बच्चे शहर में किराये का कमरा लेकर रहते थे उन्हें कभी-कभी वे अपने लड़के के हाथ अपने घर से भोजन बनवा के पिठवा देते या कभी कुछ। अपने शिष्यों का ऐसा ख़याल कौन रखता है आज के जमाने में। उनके बारे में सोचकर बड़ा अच्छा लगता। सत्य प्रकाश जी मिसाल थे पूरी शिक्षक जाति के लिए। वे समर्पित थे शिक्षा के प्रति/अपने शिष्यों के प्रति। शिक्षा के सम्बन्ध में वे स्वामी विवेकानंद के विचारों से बहुत प्रभावित थे, वे अक्सर कहा करते कि जो इस संसार माया से पार उतार दे, जो कृपा करके सारी मानसिक आधि-व्याधियों को मिटा दे वही यथार्थ गुरु है। जो ज्ञानी हैं, जो दूसरों को संसार सागर से उबार सकने में समर्थ हैं वही असली गुरु हैं। उन्हें पाते ही चेले हो लो नात्र कर्ता विचारणा ! कुछ समय बाद उनका कोचिंग आना बंद हो गया। अन्य कोई प्रधानाचार्य बना था। मगर आश्चर्य ज्योंही पता चला सत्यप्रकाश जी चले गये हैं एक भी बच्चा कोचिंग न आया। मायूस हो गये सब और कोचिंग बंद हो गयी, हमेशा के लिए। उधर बच्चे उनसे मिलने उनके घर पहुँच गये। विह्वल हो रोने लगे सब। बताने लगे सब अपनी-अपनी व्यथा। मानो अपने गुरु नहीं अपने पिता से बातें कर रहें हों। सत्यप्रकाश जी ने सबको ढाढस बंधाया। पुत्रवत स्नेह से सबको गले लगा लिया। ऐसे थे सत्यप्रकाश जी। मानो वे शिक्षा के लिए और अपने बच्चों के लिए ही बने थे। उनकी हर एक बात याद रहती थी बच्चों को। उनका आदेश वेदवाक्य था शिष्यों के लिए। ऐसे व्यक्ति विरले ही होते हैं और मेरा गुरु विरला ही था जिनके खुद के पसंदीदा व्यक्ति प्रसाद और निराला जैसे बीहड़ व्यक्तित्व के स्वामी थे। गुरुदक्षिणा तो देनी ही होगी उन्हें। जो वे कहेंगे चरणों में डाल दूंगा लाके। बहुत दिन हुए उनसे मिले, न जाने कैसे हों ? अमित ने सोचा। यादों के झरोखे से बाहर आकर अमित ने देखा गाड़ी रुकी हुई थी उसका गंतव्य महादेवपुरम आ चुका था। वह उतरा, बहुत बदला-बदला से लग रहा था उसे चारों ओर। अब तो सीधे दिल्ली से रेलगाड़ी की व्यवस्था है सो कोई ख़ास परेशानी न हुई। उत्कट अभिलाषा थी अपने प्रिय आचार्य से मिलने की और इतने वर्षों बाद जब वे मुझे देखेंगे तो कैसा लगेगा। गुरु शिष्य का दुबारा मिलन, होगी भेंट मज़ा आ जायेगा। अमित को रोमांच हो रहा था, यों सोच मानो उसकी यात्रा की सारी थकान, सारा खुमार उतर गया। अमित ने स्टेशन से बाहर आकर ऑटो किया। पूछते-पाछते, ढूंढते-ढांढते वह उनके पैतृक निवास तक पहुंचा तो देखा वहाँ कुछ न था। यहाँ तो खण्डहर है। अमित ठिठका- कहीं गलत स्थान पर तो नहीं आ गया। उसने इधर-उधर पूछा। वह सही था, शेष नहीं उनका कोई वंशज। मात्र ४८ वर्ष की अल्पायु में क्षय रोग से पीड़ित होकर हमें छोड़कर चले गये। सदा-सर्वदा आराम करने के लिए। परिवार भी भयानक बरसात के फलस्वरूप एक दिन कच्ची छतों के नीचे दबकर कालकवलित हो गया। शेष नहीं बची उनकी कोई कृति, समय ने सबकुछ लील लिया ! निकटवर्ती लोगों ने अमित को ऐसा कुछ बताया। अप्रत्याशित उत्तरों से अमित को झटका सा लगा। वह पता नही क्यों बेचैन सा हो गया। व्यथित हो उलझ गया वह स्वयं से- क्या अर्थ ही है सबकुछ ?? पूछूँ में किससे क्यूँ हो जाता है अंत महामानवों का, इतनी जल्दी ! आज सत्यप्रकाश जी नहीं हैं। बची हैं तो सिर्फ उनकी यादें। आज लोग शिक्षा के आदर्श रूप में उनकी मिसाल देते हैं तो लगता है कि ऐसे मस्तराम जी दोबारा फिर न हो सकेंगे। उनके साथ गुजरा एक-एक क्षण अतीत के चलचित्रों की तरह अमित की आँखों के सामने आ रहा था। मानो कल ही की बात हो। उन जैसे गुरु को पाकर मैं धन्य था। उनकी शिक्षाओं/सिद्धांतों को जिसने जीवन में उतार लिया वह आदमी बन चुका था। खेद है मैं गुरुदक्षिणा न चुका सका। अमित ने सोचा। टूटे घरौंदे पर जमीं घास मुस्कुरा रही थी। अमित बेबस था, क्रोध आता था उसे ईश्वर पर, उसके अस्तित्व पर। अमित बोझिल क़दमों से वापस लौटने को मुड़ा कि उसे लगा मानो उस खण्डहर से गुरूजी पुकारते हों। वह रुक जाता, उसे उनकी परछाई सी महसूस होती, गूंजती उनकी तेज आवाज़। अमित यथार्थ के कठोर पृष्ठ पर लौट आया। चौराहे पर खड़ा होकर वह इधर-उधर देखता, राहों को ताकता। उसकी अवचेतना झंकृत हो उठी। कदम चलते, मस्तिष्क करता वंदन ! काश वे फिर आयें, कहें मुझसे- विश्राम कर लो अमित ! सुबह फिर जुटना है ! रचनाकार: कहानी / नायं हन्ति न हन्यते ! / राहुल देव

खुलासा: सिर्फ सचिन तेंदुलकर को आउट करने के लिए यह टीम करती थी बैठक नासिर हुसैन ने कहा कि सचिन तेंदुलकर की तकनीक शानदार थी. इंग्लैंड के पूर्व कप्तान ने कहा कि उन्हें तो यह भी याद नहीं कि सिर्फ सचिन तेंदुलकर (सचिन तेंडुलकर) को आउट करने पर चर्चा के लिए उन्होंने कितनी टीम मीटिंग की होगी. नई दिल्ली. इंग्लैंड के पूर्व कप्तान नासिर हुसैन (नासिर हुसैन) ने शनिवार को कहा कि सचिन तेंदुलकर (सचिन तेंडुलकर) और उनकी शानदार तकनीक के कारण उनकी टीम को सिर्फ इस महान भारतीय बल्लेबाज को आउट करने की रणनीति बनाने के लिए कई बैठक करनी पड़ती थीं. तेंदुलकर ने २०१३ में संन्यास लेने से पहले दो दशक तक भारतीय क्रिकेट में दबदबा बनाया हुआ था, जिसमें उनके नाम कई बल्लेबाजी रिकॉर्ड रहे, जिसमें टेस्ट और वनडे में सर्वाधिक रन बनाने के अलावा सबसे ज्यादा अंतरराष्ट्रीय शतक भी शामिल हैं. हुसैन ने याद करते हुए कहा कि जब मैं सर्वकालिक बल्लेबाजों के बात करता हूं तो सचिन तेंदुलकर की तकनीक शानदार थी. जब मैं इंग्लैंड का कप्तान था तो मुझे याद नहीं कि हम सिर्फ तेंदुलकर को आउट करने पर चर्चा के लिए कितनी टीम बैठक किया करते थे. वह अंतरराष्ट्रीय क्रिकेट परिषद के पॉडकास्ट क्रिकेट इनसाइड आउट के ताजा एपिसोड पर इयान बिशप और एलमा स्मिट से बात कर रहे थे. गेंद को बल्ले पर आने देते हैं सचिन तेंदुलकर हुसैन ने कहा कि मेरे लिए पूरी दुनिया के सभी हिस्सों में रन बनाना तकनीक है और मैं उसे पसंद करता हूं जो सहज ढंग से खेलते हैं और गेंद को बल्ले पर आने देते हैं. उन्होंने कहा कि मेरे हिसाब से केन विलियमसन के पास मौजूदा दौर में बहुत अच्छी तकनीक है, वह गेंद को सहज ढंग से देरी से खेलते हैं. उन्होंने कहा कि टी२० क्रिकेट के कारण खिलाड़ी वर्तमान में काफी आक्रामक खेलते हैं. विलियमसन सभी तीनों प्रारूपों में खेल सकते हैं और प्रत्येक के हिसाब से अपने खेल को बदल सकते हैं. बिशप ने भी कहा कि उन्होंने अपने करियर में जितने भी बल्लेबाजों को गेंदबाजी की, उसमें तेंदुलकर को गेंदबाजी करना सबसे कठिन था. उन्होंने कहा कि मैंने अपने करियर में जिन बल्लेबाजों को गेंदबाजी की थी, उनमें से सचिन तेंदुलकर एक थे जिन्हें गेंदबाजी करना सबसे मुश्किल होता था. वह हमेशा स्ट्रेट लाइन में हिट किया करते थे.
बैक हिन्दी - विज्ञान - मोटापा ले सकता है बच्चों की जान ब्रिटिश हर्ट फॉउंडेशन में हृदय रोग की वरिष्ठ नर्स डोइरन मैडॉक बॉडी मास इंडेक्स के अनुसार जिन बच्चों का दो साल की उम्र में बॉडी मास इंडेक्स २०.५ है उन्हें काफी मोटा माना जाता है लेकिन अगर किसी १८ साल के लड़के का इंडेक्स 3५ है तो उन्हें भी बहुत मोटा माना जाता है. शोध में कहा गया है, सबसे बुरी खबर यह है कि १२ वर्ष से कम उम्र के मोटे बच्चों में हृदय रोग के लक्षण दिखाई दिए हैं. ब्रिटिश हर्ट फॉउंडेशन में हृदय रोग की वरिष्ठ नर्स डोइरन मैडॉक का कहना है, हालांकि यह काफी छोटा अध्ययन है, फिर भी इस खबर से निराशा होती है. डोइरन मैडोक का कहना है, . हालांकि वो कहती है, यह एक ऐसी समस्या है जिसका समधान ढ़ूढ़ा जा सकता है और अवयस्क बच्चों में बढ़ रहे मोटापा को कम किया जा सकता है.
ब्लू फिल्म के जरिए भाजपा गुजरात जीतना चाहती है : राज ठाकरे - हिन्दी न्यूज होम पॉलिटिक्स ब्लू फिल्म के जरिए भाजपा गुजरात जीतना चाहती है : राज ठाकरे महाराष्ट्र नव निर्माण सेना के अध्यक्ष राज ठाकरे ने भारतीय जनता पार्टी पर तीखा हमला बोलते हुए कहा कि भाजपा ब्लू फिल्म के जरिए जीतना चाहती है. ठाणे में आयोजित एक जनसभा को संबोधित करते हुए उन्होंने कहा कि २०१४ के लोकसभा चुनाव के दौरान भाजपा विकास का ब्लू प्रिंट लाती थी लेकिन, अब वह गुजरात का चुनाव ब्लू फिल्म दिखाकर जीतना चाहती है. भाजपा ने अब लोगों के निजी जीवन में ताकझांक शुरू कर दी है. ठाकरे ने बुलेट ट्रेन के मुद्दें पर घेरते हुए कहा कि बुलेट ट्रेन सिर्फ गुजरत के लिए और एक लाख करोड़ का कर्ज सारे देश वासी भरें, यह कहां की इंसाफी है. उन्होंने कहा कि यदि सिर्फ गुजरातियों के लिए बुलेट ट्रेन चलानी है और विदर्भ को अलग करने से समृद्धि मार्ग बनाना है तो कतई मंजूर नहीं. उन्होंने योग दिवस और स्वच्छ भारत अभियान का मजाक बनाते हुए कहा कि आज दश भर में बलात्कार, लूट, फरेब और जाति-धर्म के नाम पर क्या खाया जा रहा है. पहले मुल्ला और मौलवी फ़तवा निकालते थे, लेकिन अब जैन साधक और जैन मुनि निकाल रहे है. ऐसे इन सभी बुराइयों को दूर करने और अपराधों को लगाम लगाने के बजाय प्रधानमंत्री नरेंद्र मोदी योगा कर इसके टिप्स बांटते रहे हैं. ठाकरे ने कहा कि, भाजपा सोशल मीडिया पर दुष्प्रचार कर रही है, भाजपा सोशल मीडिया पर राहुल गांधी का मजाक उड़ाती है, लेकिन राहुल ने पीएम मोदी सहित तमाम भाजपा नेताओं की नाक में दम कर रखा है, जिसकी वजह से अब भाजपा को कुछ और सूझ नहीं रहा है

विटामिन सी के औषधीय लाभों की विशाल श्रृंखला के साथ, यह कोई आश्चर्य की बात नहीं है कि यह बाजार पर सबसे लोकप्रिय स्टैंड-अलोन सप्लीमेंट्स में से एक है। २००२ में अमेरिकन जर्नल ऑफ एपिडेमियोलॉजी में एक रिपोर्ट से पता चला कि विटामिन सी की खुराक संयुक्त राज्य अमेरिका में मल्टीविटामिन के बगल में सबसे अधिक उपयोग की जाने वाली खुराक थी। विटामिन सी में शरीर में विभिन्न प्रकार के कार्य होते हैं, जिनमें प्रतिरक्षा बढ़ाने, त्वचा के स्वास्थ्य और एंटीऑक्सीडेंट कार्यों शामिल हैं। वर्तमान में वहां विटामिन सी के कुछ रूप हैं, जो इसे चुनना मुश्किल बना सकते हैं। विटामिन का नियमित एस्कॉर्बिक एसिड रूप पर्याप्त है? या हमें अधिक पैसा खर्च करना चाहिए और अधिक "बेहतर" विटामिन सी की खुराक में निवेश करना चाहिए। यहां पर एक नज़र डालें कि आपके दैनिक विटामिन सी को कैसे प्राप्त किया जाए, इस बारे में अधिक सूचित निर्णय लेने में आपकी मदद करने के लिए क्या है। एस्कोरबिक एसिड पूरक पदार्थों में विटामिन सी का सबसे आम रूप है और यह भी रूप है कि यह खाद्य पदार्थों में पाया जाता है। प्राकृतिक और सिंथेटिक एस्कॉर्बिक एसिड में समान जैव उपलब्धता दिखाई देती है। एस्कोरबिक एसिड में उच्च अम्लता का स्तर होता है और पेट पर काफी कठोर हो सकता है, खासकर अगर उच्च खुराक में लिया जाता है। खनिज एस्कॉर्बेट्स एस्कॉर्बिक एसिड के बफर किए गए रूप होते हैं और इसलिए नियमित एस्कॉर्बिक एसिड की तुलना में पेट पर कम अम्लीय और जैंटलर होते हैं। जो लोग गैस्ट्रोइंटेस्टाइनल अप्सेट्स से ग्रस्त हैं उन्हें सलाह दी जाती है कि वे एस्कॉर्बिक एसिड पर बफर किए गए खनिज एस्कॉर्बेट्स का चयन करें। हालांकि, अध्ययनों के मुताबिक, इस बात का कोई सबूत नहीं है कि खनिज एस्कोरबतस पेट पर जैंटलर हैं। खनिज एस्कोरबतस कैल्शियम एस्कॉर्बेट, सोडियम एस्कॉर्बेट, पोटेशियम एस्कॉर्बेट, मैग्नीशियम एस्कॉर्बेट और इतने पर कई रूपों में आते हैं। एस्टर सी विटामिन सी पर एक विशेष रूप के लिए एक ब्रांड नाम है जिसमें ज्यादातर कैल्शियम एस्कॉर्बेट होता है लेकिन अन्य विटामिन सी मेटाबोलाइट्स (जैसे ऑक्सीकरण एस्कॉर्बिक एसिड और कैल्शियम थ्रोननेट) की थोड़ी मात्रा भी होती है। एस्टर सी के आसपास का दावा न केवल पेट पर जैंटलर है बल्कि यह भी कि उत्पाद में थ्रियोनेट इसके अवशोषण और जैव उपलब्धता में वृद्धि में मदद करता है। हालांकि, इस बात का कोई सबूत नहीं है कि एस्टर सी एस्कॉर्बिक एसिड से बेहतर अवशोषित है। यह भी देखें: विटामिन सी और प्रतिरक्षा प्रणाली पर इसका प्रभाव विटामिन सी प्लस बायोफालावोनॉयड्स प्रकृति में, विटामिन सी अन्य पदार्थों के साथ मौजूद है, जिनमें से कुछ हम अभी तक के बारे में भी नहीं जानते हैं, इससे इसकी अवशोषण और जैव उपलब्धता में वृद्धि होती है। बायोफ्लावोनॉयड्स के साथ विटामिन सी के निर्माताओं ने विटामिन सी की प्रभावशीलता में वृद्धि के लिए फल और सब्जियों में पाए जाने वाले इन पॉलीफेनॉलिक संयंत्र रसायनों के साथ जो भी रूप में नियमित रूप से विटामिन सी जोड़ दिया है, लिनस पॉलिंग इंस्टीट्यूट की एक समीक्षा के मुताबिक, १ अलग-अलग अध्ययनों पर एक नज़र डाली गई बायोफ्लेवनोइड्स के साथ नियमित एस्कॉर्बिक एसिड और एस्कॉर्बिक एसिड की तुलना करते समय विटामिन सी जैव उपलब्धता में कोई महत्वपूर्ण वृद्धि नहीं। एसरोला नामक सबसे लोकप्रिय बायोफालावोनॉयड ने विटामिन सी के मूत्र विसर्जन को मापने वाले अध्ययनों के माध्यम से विटामिन सी अवशोषण को बढ़ाने में कुछ वादा दिखाया है। एसरोला सेवन में एस्कॉर्बिक एसिड विसर्जन में कमी आई है, और अधिक विटामिन सी प्रतिधारण का सुझाव दिया है। बायोफालावोनॉयड्स में अतिरिक्त एंटीऑक्सीडेंट लाभ होते हैं और किसी भी घटना में उन्हें आपके विटामिन सी शासन में जोड़ने में कम से कम कोई नुकसान नहीं होता है।
क्या यह संभव है कि दुनिया की नजर में विश्व का सबसे शक्तिशाली व्यक्ति भी कभी बेबस और लाचार हो सकता है? क्या हम कभी अपनी कल्पना में भी ऐसा सोच सकते हैं कि एक व्यक्ति जो विश्व के सबसे शक्तिशाली देश के सर्वोच्च पद पर आसीन है, उसके साथ उस देश का सम्पूर्ण सरकारी तंत्र है और विश्व की आधुनिकतम तकनीक से युक्त फौज है, उस व्यक्ति के खिलाफ भी कभी कुछ गलत प्रचारित किया जा सकता है? शायद नहीं? या फिर शायद हाँ? आज जब अमेरिका के राष्ट्रपति गूगल फेसबुक और ट्विटर पर अपने अपने प्लैटफोर्म से जनता के सामने अपने खिलाफ लगातार और बार बार फेक न्यूज़ परोसने का इल्जाम लगाते हैं, आज जब "डोनाल्ड ट्रंप" जैसी शख़सियत कहती है कि गूगल पर "ट्रंप न्यूज़" सर्च करने पर उनके खिलाफ सिर्फ बुरी और नकारात्मक खबरें ही पढ़ने को मिलती हैं, आज जब इंटरनेट पर "इडियट" सर्च करने पर ट्रँप,चाय वाला,फेंकू, सर्च करने पर नरेन्द्र मोदी और पप्पू सर्च करने पर राहुल गाँधी जैसा चेहरा आता है तो क्या कहेंगे आप? "फेक न्यूज़", आज से दो साल पहले तक शायद ही किसी ने इस शब्द का प्रयोग किया हो लेकिन आज यह सम्पूर्ण विश्व के समक्ष एक चुनौती बनकर खड़ा है। अगर इसकी शुरुआत की बात करें तो इस शब्द का प्रयोग सबसे पहले हिलेरी क्लिंटन ने ८ दिसंबर २०१६ को चुनाव के दौरान अपने एक भाषण में किया था जब उन्होंने सोशल मीडिया में दुर्भावनापूर्ण रूप से झूठी खबरों के प्रचार प्रसार को फेक न्यूज़ और एक महामारी तक कहा था। इसके बाद जनवरी २०१७ में ट्रंप ने सी एन एन की एक पत्रकार को फेक न्यूज़ कहकर संबोधित किया और उसके बाद से यह शब्द दुनिया भर के नेताओं और पत्रकारों से लेकर आम आदमी तक की जुबान पर ही नहीं आया बल्कि उनकी जिंदगी से भी खेलने लगा।खासतौर पर तब, जब इस देश के चालीस बेक़सूर लोग मोब ल्य्न्चिंग के शिकार हो जाते हैं। कहा जा सकता है कि यह दौर सिटीजन जर्नलिस्म का है जहाँ हर व्यक्ति यह मानता है कि उसके पास जो सूचना है चाहे गलत हो या सही वह सबसे पहले उनके माध्यम से लोगों तक पहुँचनी चाहिए। लेकिन हर बार इसकी वजह "सबसे पहले" वाली सोच ही हो यह भी आवश्यक नहीं है कई बार जानबूझकर भी ऐसा किया जाता है। लेकिन अब जब इसके घातक परिणाम देश भुगत रहा हैं तो आवश्यक हो गया है कि सोशल मीडिया और इंटरनेट को नियंत्रित करने एवं इनका दुरुपयोग रोकने के लिए सरकार कुछ नियम कानून बनाए। इसके लिए उन देशों से सीखा जा सकता है जो अपने देश में इस समस्या को कानून के दायरे में ले आए हैं। फेक न्यूज़ पर लगाम लगाने के उद्देश्य से हाल ही में मलेशिया में एंटी फेक कानून २०१८ लागू किया गया है जिसमें फेक न्यूज़ फैलाने का आरोप सिद्ध होने पर दोषी को छ साल तक के कारावास और अधिकतम एक लाख तीस हजार डॉलर तक के जुर्माने का प्रावधान है। इसके अलावा जर्मनी की संसद ने भी इंटरनेट कम्पनियों को उनके सोशल मीडिया प्लैटफार्म पर अवैध,नस्लीय, निंदनीय सामग्री के लिए जिम्मेदार ठहराने वाला कानून पारित किया है। इसके तहत उन्हें एक निश्चित समयावधी में आपत्तिजनक सामग्री को हटाना होगा अन्यथा उन पर ५० मिलियन यूरो तक का जुर्माना लगाया जा सकता है।यह कानून लोकतांत्रिक देशों में संभवतः अब तक का सबसे कठोर कानून है। खास बात यह है कि वहाँ जब इंटरनेट कम्पनियों ने इस कानून को अभिव्यक्ति की स्वतंत्रता के लिए खतरा बताया तो जर्मनी के न्याय मंत्री ने यह कहा कि "अभिव्यक्ति की स्वतंत्रता वहाँ समाप्त होती है जहाँ आपराधिक कानून शुरु होता है"। तो हमारे देश की सरकार भी इन देशों से सीख लेकर इंटरनेट कम्पनियों पर लगाम लगाकर फेक न्यूज़ जैसी समस्या से जीत सकती है।

इप्ल२०१८: किंग्स इलेवन पंजाब और चेन्नई को दमदार मानता हूं: विराट कोहली ७ मई का मैच बड़ा रोमांचक था. आमने-सामने थी सनराइजर्स हैदराबाद और रॉयल चैलेंजर बैंगलोर. हैदराबाद ने पहले बल्लेबाजी करते हुए २० ओवर में १४६ रन बनाए. इतना कम स्कोर होने के बावजूद बैंगलोर हार गई. कोहली के पंटर २० ओवर में १४१ रन ही बना पाए. और इसी जीत के साथ हैदराबाद एक बार फिर पॉइंट्स टेबल के टॉप पर पहुंच गई और बैंगलोर लगभग प्लेऑफ की दौड़ से बाहर! मैच के बाद बैंगलोर के कप्तान विराट कोहली ने बताया की इस बार का इप्ल कौन जीत सकता है. कोहली ने कहा, हैदराबाद के पास कुछ अच्छे खिलाड़ी हैं जो प्रेशर में भी अच्छा खेल लेते हैं. इसी वजह से वो इस सीजन में अब तक जीत रहे हैं. वो अपनी ताकत और कमजोरियां जानते हैं. इसी वजह से वो सफल हो रहे हैं. बॉलिंग के पॉइंट ऑफ व्यू से हैदराबाद मजबूत टीम है. आगे कोहली ने कहा- ओवरऑल बैटिंग, बॉलिंग और फील्डिंग देखें तो मैं किंग्स इलेवन पंजाब और चेन्नई को दमदार मानता हूं. बेटी ने पिता पर लगाया छेड़छाड़ का झूठा आरोप, कोर्ट ने... इंसान के अच्छे और बुरे होने की वजह है जस्त आ... कविता- परदेसी की माँ कविता मार्च १६, २०१८ मैं भी विराट कोहली के जैसा खेलने का प्रयास करता हूं:...
१७-अल्फा हाइड्रोक्सी प्रोजेस्टेरोन (१७-ओएच) टेस्ट १७-अल्फा हाइड्रोक्सी प्रोजेस्टेरोन टेस्ट (१७-ओएच) क्या है? १७-अल्फा हाइड्रोक्सी प्रोजेस्टेरोन टेस्ट को १७-ओएच प्रोजेस्टेरोन भी कहा जाता है। यह किडनी के ऊपर मौजूद एक छोटी ग्रंथि एड्रिनल ग्रंथि द्वारा बनाया जाता है। यह हार्मोन मुख्य रूप से स्ट्रेस हार्मोन कोर्टिसोल बनाने में एक प्रीकर्सर (पहले बनने वाला) के रूप में कार्य करता है। कोर्टिसोल मेटाबॉलिज्म को ठीक प्रकार से बनाए रखने में और प्रतिरक्षा प्रणाली को नियंत्रित रखने में मदद करता है। हालांकि, कुछ लोगों में कुछ विशेष एंजाइम की कमी होती है जिसके कारण कोर्टिसोल का उत्पादन कम हो जाता है और परिणामस्वरूप व्यक्ति में कोर्टिसोल की कमी हो जाती है। इस स्थिति में रक्त में १७-ओएच प्रोजेस्टेरोन का जमाव हो जाता है। १७-ओएच प्रोजेस्टेरोन के उच्च स्तर का सबसे सामान्य कारण कंजेनिटल एड्रिनल हाइपरप्लासिया (सीएएच) है। यह एक अनुवांशिक स्थिति है इसमें कोर्टिसोल की कमी हो जाती है और एण्ड्रोजन (पुरुष सेक्स हार्मोन) का स्तर बढ़ जाता है। १७-अल्फा हाइड्रोक्सी प्रोजेस्टेरोन टेस्ट सीएएच की पहचान करने में मदद करता है। १७-अल्फा हाइड्रोक्सी प्रोजेस्टेरोन टेस्ट (१७-ओएच) क्यों किया जाता है? यह टेस्ट नवजात शिशुओं में करना जरूरी होता है। इसके अलावा यदि किसी व्यक्ति में सीएएच के लक्षण दिखाई देते हैं तो भी ये टेस्ट किया जा सकता है। नवजात शिशुओं में सीएएच के मुख्य लक्षण निम्न हैं: प्यूबिक हेयर होना ऊर्जा की कमी होना जवान लड़कियों या महिलाओं में इसके लक्षण निम्न हैं: अत्यधिक बाल होना जवान लड़कों और पुरुषों में इसके लक्षण निम्न हैं: प्यूबर्टी जल्दी शुरू होना अच्छी व स्वस्थ मांसपेशियां पेनिस का बड़ा होना लेकिन टेस्टिकल का छोटा होना १७-अल्फा हाइड्रोक्सी प्रोजेस्टेरोन टेस्ट (१७-ओएच) की तैयारी कैसे करें? टेस्ट से आठ घंटे पहले तक कुछ भी खाने पीने से मना किया जा सकता है। डॉक्टर आपसे कुछ ऐसी दवाएं लेने से भी मना कर सकते हैं जो टेस्ट के परिणामों को प्रभावित कर सकती हैं। हालांकि, यदि यह टेस्ट किसी नवजात शिशु पर किया जा रहा है तो ऐसा करना जरूरी नहीं है। १७-अल्फा हाइड्रोक्सी प्रोजेस्टेरोन के स्तर दिन में हर समय अलग-अलग हो सकते हैं। इसीलिए डॉक्टर यह टेस्ट दिन में किसी निश्चित समय पर करेंगे। यदि बच्चे का टेस्ट किया जा रहा है तो यह जरूरी है कि बच्चे ने टी-शर्ट पहनी हो ताकि टेस्ट आसानी से किया जा सके। १७-अल्फा हाइड्रोक्सी प्रोजेस्टेरोन टेस्ट (१७ -ओएच) कैसे किया जाता है? परीक्षण के लिए ब्लड सैंपल की थोड़ी सी मात्रा ली जाएगी। डॉक्टर बांह की नस में सुई लगाकर नस से पर्याप्त मात्रा में रक्त निकाल लेंगे। जिस जगह इंजेक्शन लगाया जाना है उस जगह को अल्कोहॉल युक्त दवा से साफ किया जाएगा। ऐसा हो सकता है कि सुई लगने से आपको बिलकुल भी दर्द न हो या चुभन जैसी संवेदना भी हो सकती है। ब्लड टेस्ट से जुड़े कुछ सामान्य जोखिम निम्न हैं: रक्त निकाली गई जगह पर अत्यधिक रक्त स्त्राव उचित सावधानियां बरतने पर इनमें से अधिकतर खतरों को कम किया जा सकता है। १७-अल्फा हाइड्रोक्सी प्रोजेस्टेरोन टेस्ट (१७ -ओएच) के परिणाम का क्या मतलब है? बच्चों, नवजात शिशुओं और वयस्कों में सामान्य और असामान्य वैल्यू अलग होगी। आमतौर पर निम्न वैल्यू को सामान्य माना जाता है: बच्चे: ४००-६०० नैनोग्राम प्रति डेसीलिटर (ङ/डल) से कम प्यूबर्टी से पहले की अवस्था के बच्चे: १०० ङ/डल व्यस्क: २०० ङ/डल से कम १७-अल्फा हाइड्रोक्सी प्रोजेस्टेरोन टेस्ट (१७ -ओएच) के उच्च स्तर एड्रिनल ग्रंथि के ट्यूमर या सीएएच की तरफ संकेत कर सकते हैं। असामान्यता का सही कारण जानने के लिए आगे अन्य टेस्ट भी किए जा सकते हैं।

बर्न- नयी दिल्ली। स्विट्जरलैंड में बीते साल २०१७ में सिर्फ तीन भारतीय जाली नोट पकड़े गए। हालांकि, इससे पिछले साल स्विट्जरलैंड में जाली भारतीय मुद्रा की जब्ती का आंकड़ा चार गुना बढ़ा था। लंबे समय तक स्विट्जरलैंड को कालेधन का पनाहगाह कहा जाता रहा है। स्विस संघीय पुलिस कार्यालय (फेडपोल) द्वारा जारी ताजा आंकड़ों के अनुसार २०१७ के दौरान १०० रुपये के दो जाली नोट और ५०० रुपये का एक जाली नोट जब्त किया गया। वर्ष २०१६ के दौरान जाली विदेशी मुद्रा के मामले में भारतीय रुपया तीसरे स्थान पर था। यूरो और डॉलर के बाद सबसे अधिक भारतीय जाली मुद्रा जब्त की गई थी। उस साल ५०० और १,००० के जाली नोट जब्त हुए थे। नवंबर, २0१6 में नोटबंदी के तहत इन नोटों को बंद कर दिया गया था। नोटबंदी के बाद २,००० का नोट पेश किया गया था। स्विट्जरलैंड में २००० का कोई जाली नोट जब्त नहीं किया गया है। फेडपोल के आंकड़ों के अनुसार २0१6 में १००० के १,४३७ जाली नोट जब्त किए गए थे जबकि ५०० के पांच जाली नोट जब्त हुए थे। वहीं २0१५ में स्विट्जरलैंड में ३4२ भारतीय जाली नोट जब्त किए गए थे। इनमें से पांच ५०० के , ३३६ १००० के और एक १00 का नोट था। आंकड़ों के अनुसार २0१7 में १990 जाली स्विस फ्रैंक जब्त किए गए जबकि २0१6 में यह आंकड़ा २,३७० था। इसी तरह २0१7 में ३,8२6 जाली यूरो मुद्रा जब्त की गई , जबकि इससे पिछले साल ५,३79 जाली यूरो जब्त किए थे। डॉलर के मामले में यह आंकड़ा १,44३ से बढ़कर १,९७६ हो गया। वहीं २0१7 में २,५०० जापानी येन जब्त किए गए।
निर्भया केस: फांसी से बचने को दोषी विनय का नया पैंतरा, कोर्ट में बोला- गंभीर बीमारी से ग्रस्त हूं, इलाज की जरूरत निर्भया गैंगरेप के दोषी फांसी से बचने के लिए हर दिन कोई न कोई नया पैंतरा आजमा रहे हैं। इस क्रम में दोषी विनय शर्मा ने पटियाला हाउस कोर्ट में एक याचिका दायर की गई है, जिसमें उसकी मानसिक स्थिति का हवाला देते हुए समुचित इलाज की मांग की गई है। निर्भया गैंगरेप के दोषी फांसी से बचने के लिए हर दिन कोई न कोई नया पैंतरा आजमा रहे हैं। इस क्रम में दोषी विनय शर्मा ने पटियाला हाउस कोर्ट में एक याचिका दायर की गई है, जिसमें उसकी मानसिक स्थिति का हवाला देते हुए समुचित इलाज की मांग की गई है। पटियाला हाउस कोर्ट में वकील एपी सिंह ने यह याचिका दायर की। याचिका में कहा गया है कि दोषी विनय के सिर और हाथ में चोट लगी है। वह मानसिक बीमारी से ग्रस्त है और किसी को पहचान नहीं पा रहा है। इस पर कोर्ट ने तिहाड़ जेल प्रशासन से तुरंत इलाज उपलब्ध कराने को कहा है। शनिवार दोपहर १२ बजे इस मामले की सुनवाई होगी। अर्जी में कहा गया है कि विनय शर्मा चोट लगने के बाद अपनी मां तक को नहीं पहचान पा रहा है। वकील की तरफ से कहा गया है कि उसे गंभीर मानसिक बीमारी सिजोफ्रेनिया हो सकती है। ऐसे में उसका मेडिकल चेक अप करवाया जाए और उसकी रिपोर्ट कोर्ट में दाखिल हो। इस याचिका पर पटियाला हाउस कोर्ट ने तिहाड़ जेल को कहा कि दोषी विनय का ट्रीटमेंट कराया जाए। कोर्ट ने तिहाड़ जेल को निर्देश दिया है कि वो दोषी विनय शर्मा का इलाज कराए। कोर्ट ने कहा है कि शनिवार को इस मामले में वो दोबारा सुनवाई करेंगे। बता दें कि १६ फरवरी को विनय ने तिहाड़ जेल में अपना सिर दीवार पर मार दिया था। इस कारण वह चोटिल हो गया था। हालांकि, उसको मामूली चोट आई थी। गौरतलब है कि दोषियों को ३ मार्च को सुबह ६ बजे फांसी दी जाएगी। इससे पहले भी दो बार डेथ वारंट जारी हो चुका है। इससे पहले कोर्ट ने २२ जनवरी का डेथ वारंट जारी किया था जिसे बाद में रद्द कर दिया गया। कोर्ट ने एक बार फिर १ फरवरी का डेथ वारंट जारी किया। इसे भी कानूनी पेचीदगियों के कारण रद्द करना पड़ा। अब इस मामले में एक बार फिर नया डेथ वारंट जारी किया गया है।

परंपरागत रूप से, केवल औद्योगिक रूप से विकसित राज्य मौलिक रूप से नए हथियारों और उपकरणों के निर्माण में लगे हुए हैं। हालांकि, कई विकासशील देश वर्तमान में इस सिद्धांत को चुनौती देने की कोशिश कर रहे हैं और नए, साहसिक प्रोजेक्ट विकसित करने की शुरुआत कर रहे हैं। उदाहरण के लिए, कई साल पहले, तुर्की उन्नत रेल उपकरणों के निर्माण पर काम में शामिल हो गया। एम्त कार्यक्रम का पहला वास्तविक परिणाम असेल्सन तूफान बंदूक बुर्ज का एक प्रोटोटाइप था। तुर्की रेल तोप विकास कार्यक्रम, विभिन्न अनुप्रयोगों के लिए उपयुक्त, २०१४ वर्ष में लॉन्च किया गया था। एम्त (एलेकत्रोमानातिक टॉप) के नाम से अनुसंधान और विकास कार्य के हिस्से के रूप में, मौजूदा समस्याओं का अध्ययन करना, असामान्य के लिए संभावनाओं का निर्धारण करना था। हथियारोंऔर तैयार प्रणाली की वास्तुकला के लिए सबसे सुविधाजनक विकल्प भी खोजें। इन कार्यों के परिणामों के अनुसार, परीक्षण के लिए बनाना और जमा करना आवश्यक था, पहले बेंच नमूने और फिर वाहक पर बढ़ते हुए उपयुक्त पूर्ण गन सिस्टम। सामान्य आसेल्सन तूफान का सामान्य दृश्य एक प्रमुख तुर्की डेवलपर और सैन्य उत्पादों के निर्माता, असेल्सन ने उन्नत हथियारों के मुख्य अनुसंधान और विकास का कार्य किया है। इसके अलावा, विभिन्न आंकड़ों के अनुसार, कुछ उपठेकेदार काम में शामिल थे, जिनमें से कार्य कुछ सहायक कार्यों को पूरा करना था। आज तक, तुर्की रक्षा उद्योग ने ईएमटी कार्यक्रम के कुछ चरणों को पूरा किया है और यहां तक कि इसे पहले प्रोटोटाइप और नए नमूनों के निर्माण के परीक्षण चरण में लाया है। रिपोर्टों के अनुसार, एक्सएनयूएमएक्स के रूप में, एसेलसन ने पहले परिणाम प्राप्त किए, और कुछ मूल डिजाइनों के लिए पेटेंट भी जारी किए। इसके बाद काम जारी रहा और एक अनुभवी बंदूक का उदय हुआ, जिसे बेंच परीक्षणों के लिए डिज़ाइन किया गया। यह उत्पाद पिछले साल बनाया गया था, और दिसंबर में पहला परीक्षण शॉट बनाया गया था। यह बताया गया है कि सफल परीक्षण बेंच मॉडल काम करना जारी रखेगा और अंततः सशस्त्र बलों द्वारा उपयोग के लिए उपयुक्त एक तोपखाने प्रणाली का निर्माण करेगा। एसेलसन ईएमटी प्रणाली के पहले प्रोटोटाइप का परीक्षण दिसंबर २०१६ के अंतिम दिनों में किया गया था। कार्यक्रम की मौलिक सफलता को प्रदर्शित करते हुए पांच शॉट्स का प्रदर्शन किया गया। इसके अलावा, इस चेक ने हमें मौजूदा नमूने की अनुमानित विशेषताओं को स्थापित करने की अनुमति दी। कंपनी-डेवलपर के अनुसार, आगे के विकास के दौरान, तुर्की बंदूक को उच्चतम विशेषताओं को दिखाना था। प्रक्षेप्य का प्रारंभिक वेग २-२,५ किमी / एस तक लाना था, जिसने ३०० किमी के स्तर पर फायरिंग रेंज प्राप्त करने की अनुमति दी। पहली पायलट शूटिंग को अंजाम देने के बाद, परियोजना का विकास जारी रहा। तोपखाने इकाई की तकनीकी उपस्थिति की मुख्य विशेषताओं की पहचान करने के बाद, कंपनी-डेवलपर ने आशाजनक परिसर के अन्य तत्वों को बनाना शुरू किया। आज तक, कम से कम, इस काम का थोक सफलतापूर्वक पूरा हो गया है। इसके लिए धन्यवाद, एसेलसन पहले सार्वजनिक प्रदर्शन के लिए उपयुक्त एक प्रोटोटाइप का निर्माण करने में सक्षम था। एक होनहार ईएमटी परियोजना के ऐसे "प्रीमियर" के लिए जगह आईडीईएफ एक्सएनयूएमएक्स प्रदर्शनी थी, जो मई में इस्तांबुल में हुई थी। रेल गाइड एक विशेष आकार के लंबे आवरण के अंदर होते हैं अंतरराष्ट्रीय सैन्य तकनीकी सैलून के मंडप में, एक नए प्रोटोटाइप रेल उपकरण, जो एक चल रहे कार्यक्रम के हिस्से के रूप में बनाया गया था, प्रस्तुत किया गया था। इस उत्पाद को अपना स्वयं का पदनाम असेल्सन तूफान ("बाढ़" या "बाढ़") प्राप्त हुआ। पिछले मॉडल के विपरीत, इस तरह के आर्टिलरी कॉम्प्लेक्स को टॉवर लेआउट के अपेक्षाकृत कॉम्पैक्ट सिस्टम के रूप में बनाया गया है। यह वास्तुकला सशस्त्र बलों द्वारा हथियारों का उपयोग करने की संभावना को इंगित करता है। सबसे पहले, इस तरह के एक जटिल नौसैनिक बलों के लिए रुचि हो सकती है और युद्धपोतों के हथियार बन सकते हैं। तुफान प्रोटोटाइप की एक जिज्ञासु विशेषता बाहरी भागों और असेंबली का अपेक्षाकृत सरल डिजाइन है जो बाहरी प्रभावों और प्रायींग आँखों से मुख्य उपकरणों को कवर करती है। सभी महत्वपूर्ण उपकरणों को बाड़ों और पतवारों के अंदर रखा गया है, जो, जाहिर है, कवच स्टील से बना हो सकता है और जवाबी गोलाबारी से सुरक्षा प्रदान कर सकता है। इस मामले में, शरीर का आकार तथाकथित में कुछ ज्ञात विकासों के अनुप्रयोग के बारे में बोल सकता है। स्टील्थ तकनीक। ठेठ कटा हुआ बाड़े को ठीक से प्रतिबिंबित करने और रडार संकेतों को फिर से विभाजित करने के लिए डिज़ाइन किया जा सकता है। सामान्य तौर पर, एक रेल बंदूक से लैस तुफान लड़ाकू मॉड्यूल में एक बड़े आकार के तीन मुख्य ब्लॉक होते हैं। पहला सहायक उपकरण है। शायद, एक अपेक्षाकृत बड़ी बहुभुज इकाई को सीधे वाहक जहाज के डेक पर रखा जाना चाहिए। यह एक छोटी ऊँचाई द्वारा प्रतिष्ठित है और इसमें विभिन्न कोणों पर सामने, ओर और पिछाड़ी भागों को स्थापित किया गया है। पक्षों और कठोर पर आंतरिक उपकरणों तक पहुंच के लिए टोपियां हैं। परिसर के समर्थन तत्व की छत में पूर्ण मोड़ टॉवर बढ़ते के लिए कंधे का पट्टा है। जाहिर है, बंदूक के क्षैतिज पिकअप के लिए, पूरे टॉवर को मोड़कर प्रदर्शन किया जाता है, रिमोट कंट्रोल वाले इलेक्ट्रिक ड्राइव का उपयोग किया जाता है। तूफान प्रणाली के टॉवर को एक जटिल आकार की एक टोपी मिली। इसी समय, इसकी उपस्थिति के अनुसार, सभी आवश्यक इकाइयों को इस तरह के एक मामले के अंदर रखा जाता है, और इसके अलावा, उन्हें रखरखाव के लिए काफी आसान पहुंच प्रदान की जाती है। टॉवर के ललाट भाग में कई सतह होते हैं जो विभिन्न कोणों पर अनुदैर्ध्य अक्ष, ऊर्ध्वाधर और एक दूसरे पर स्थापित होते हैं। इस मामले में, रॉकिंग आर्टिलरी यूनिट को माउंट करने के लिए टॉवर के सामने एक बड़ा ऊर्ध्वाधर कट-आउट प्राप्त हुआ। टॉवर के किनारे बड़े पैनलों की एक जोड़ी पर आधारित हैं, और सामने की तरफ एक डबल हैच बढ़ते हुए है। पक्षों के सामने के पैनल को बाहर की ओर पतन के साथ स्थापित किया गया है, जबकि पीछे के पैनल, इसके विपरीत, अभिसरण करते हैं। टॉवर का स्टर्न ऊपर एक मध्यम आकार के आला और एक पच्चर के आकार की निचली इकाई द्वारा बनता है। उत्तरार्द्ध के पैनलों में दो और बड़े हाचस हैं। प्रदर्शनी खोलने के बाद नमूना झूलते हुए तोपखाने इकाइयों के मुख्य तत्व के रूप में सीधे रेल बंदूक। इसके अलावा, इस इकाई की विधानसभा में बन्धन साधन और एक विशेषता आकृति के आवरण शामिल हैं। "ट्रंक" का थूथन सामने के छोर पर त्रिकोणीय खांचे के साथ अंडाकार खंड के आवरण के साथ कवर किया गया है। इस आवरण का पिछला भाग खुला हुआ है। बेवल के पीछे एक कम अनुभाग का अंडाकार आवरण होता है, जिसके पीछे एक बड़ा शरीर होता है। सुरक्षा का यह तत्व ब्रीच से और थूथन कवर तक लगभग सभी बंदूक को कवर करता है। यह बढ़े हुए आकार और अलग-अलग आकार के बहुभुज के रूप में बदलते अनुभाग में भिन्न होता है। ट्रूनियन बढ़ते आर्टिलरी इकाइयां, जाहिरा तौर पर, टॉवर के साइड हैच के स्तर पर हैं। रेल उपकरण के डिजाइन के बारे में विस्तृत जानकारी अभी तक घोषित नहीं की गई है, लेकिन उनके बिना भी हम कुछ निष्कर्ष निकाल सकते हैं। लगभग झूलते हुए भाग की पूरी लंबाई के साथ, दो गाइड रेल गुजरती हैं, जो गोला-बारूद को फैलाने के लिए आवश्यक हैं। जाहिरा तौर पर, टफ़न परियोजना इन भागों के क्षैतिज प्लेसमेंट की पेशकश करती है - "बोर" के ऊपर और इसके तहत। परियोजना की कुछ सामग्री बताती है कि घुमावदार कामकाजी सतह वाली रेल का उपयोग किया जाता है। बुर्ज के स्टर्न में, शायद, बैरल के लिए गोला-बारूद की आपूर्ति की एक निश्चित प्रणाली है। यह संभव है कि एक विकसित फीड आला में गोला-बारूद की स्वचालित आपूर्ति के लिए यंत्रीकृत स्टोव हैं। इस मामले में, उपकरण के संचालन के सिद्धांतों से निम्नानुसार, जटिल को केवल प्रोजेक्टाइल को स्टोर करने की आवश्यकता होती है, क्योंकि इसमें किसी भी प्रकार के केमिकल के प्रोपेलिंग चार्ज के साथ किसी कंटेनर की आवश्यकता नहीं होती है। एम्त कार्यक्रम के भाग के रूप में, असेल्सन ने एक होनहार हथियार के लिए एक नया गोला-बारूद विकसित किया है। कई कारणों से तैयार गोले का उपयोग संभव नहीं है, जिसके लिए एक विशेष शॉट के निर्माण की आवश्यकता होती है। रेल बंदूकों की विशेषता के कारण, प्रक्षेप्य के अलावा, इसके सही त्वरण को सुनिश्चित करने के लिए विशेष उपकरण विकसित करना आवश्यक था। दरअसल, टफान प्रोजेक्टाइल बड़े बढ़ाव का एक धातु "रिक्त" है, जिसकी लंबाई लगभग आधा है जो जीवंत सिर पर गिरता है। शरीर के पिछले आधे हिस्से में एक बेलनाकार आकार होता है। रोटेशन के कारण प्रक्षेप्य का स्थिरीकरण, परिभाषा के अनुसार बैरल की राइफलिंग से जुड़ा हुआ है, असंभव है, जिसके कारण प्रक्षेप्य की पूंछ अनुभाग में छोटे दायरे के विमान-स्टेबलाइजर्स प्रदान करता है। इस तरह के एक प्रक्षेप्य का वजन लगभग ७ किलो होता है। विभिन्न प्रयोजनों के लिए गोला-बारूद बनाना संभव है, एक दूसरे से वारहेड के प्रकार में भिन्न होना। रेल बंदूक के "बैरल" के साथ प्रक्षेप्य के सही मार्ग के लिए, विशेष अग्रणी उपकरणों को विकसित किया गया था। वांछित स्थिति में, गोला बारूद एक विशेष प्लास्टिक ढांकता हुआ ट्रे द्वारा आयोजित किया जाता है। इसमें दो भाग होते हैं, एक साथ बांधा जाता है। पैन को असेंबल करना प्रोजेक्टाइल के तहत आंतरिक गुहा के साथ एक सिलेंडर का आकार होता है, और इसकी बाहरी सतह पर दो आयताकार प्रोट्रूशन होते हैं जो प्रमुख बेल्ट के कार्यों को करते हैं। प्रोजेक्टाइल के पैन के पीछे एक अतिरिक्त पार्ट-पुशर लगाया जाता है, जो शॉट को त्वरण प्रदान करता है। यह उपकरण धातु से बना है और इसमें जटिल आकार है। जब निकाल दिया जाता है, अवतल सतहों को गाइड रेल के साथ बातचीत करनी चाहिए, और सामने के छोर को प्रक्षेप्य के साथ पैन को धक्का देना चाहिए। ऑपरेशन के सिद्धांत के अनुसार, उत्पाद असेल्सन तूफान अपनी कक्षा के अन्य विकासों से अलग नहीं है। स्वचालन की मदद से, कॉम्प्लेक्स को पटरियों पर संग्रह में एक शॉट रखना चाहिए, जिसके बाद रिमोट-नियंत्रित ड्राइव को एक टिप-ऑफ करना चाहिए। शॉट को एक उच्च शक्ति स्रोत से रेल को चालू करके बनाया जाता है। नतीजतन, एम्पीयर बल रेल्स के साथ पुशर को तेज करता है, और बदले में, प्रक्षेप्य के साथ आवेग को फूस तक पहुंचाता है। थूथन से गुजरने के बाद, फूस को अलग किया जाता है, और फिर प्रक्षेप्य को लक्ष्य पर भेजा जाता है। पुशर विस्तार को त्वरण के दौरान आंशिक रूप से जलने की संभावना है और फिर इसके अवशेष जमीन पर या पानी में गिर जाते हैं। यह बताया गया है कि तुर्की विकास का एक आशाजनक उपकरण एक्सएनयूएमएक्स एमजे के स्तर पर थूथन ऊर्जा दिखा सकता है, जो कम से कम आधुनिक टैंक गन की विशेषताओं के रूप में अच्छा है। रिपोर्टों के अनुसार, मौजूदा १४-क्ग प्रोजेक्टाइल ७ किमी / घंटा के क्रम की गति को तेज करता है। ऐसी प्रारंभिक गति के साथ, गोला बारूद कम से कम २ समुद्री मील की दूरी पर लक्ष्य को मारने में सक्षम होगा। इस प्रकार, कई बुनियादी विशेषताओं के संदर्भ में, फ्लडिंग कॉम्प्लेक्स में मौजूदा शिपबोर्न आर्टिलरी सिस्टम पर ध्यान देने योग्य फायदे हैं। रेल बंदूकों और विद्युत चुम्बकीय प्रभावों का उपयोग करने वाली अन्य प्रणालियों की एक विशिष्ट समस्या, बिजली की महत्वपूर्ण खपत है। असेल्सन तूफान परिसर की आवश्यक शक्ति निर्दिष्ट नहीं की गई थी। इस तरह के विदेशी विकास की ख़ासियत को जानने के बाद, यह माना जा सकता है कि इस तरह की प्रणाली के वाहक को पर्याप्त शक्तिशाली जनरेटर प्राप्त करना चाहिए और रेल को आवश्यक विशेषताओं के साथ एक वर्तमान आपूर्ति के लिए आवश्यक अन्य साधन चाहिए। यह संभव है कि इस तरह के उपकरणों के उपयोग से पारंपरिक डिजाइन के मौजूदा आर्टिलरी सिस्टम की तुलना में समग्र आयाम या वजन में ध्यान देने योग्य लाभ नहीं होगा। अपने वर्तमान स्वरूप में, टफ़न गन माउंट जहाज वाहक को कुछ नई सुविधाएँ दे सकता है। उदाहरण के लिए, प्रोपेलिंग चार्ज के साथ गोले के इनकार और तत्काल आसपास के क्षेत्र में टॉवर और तहखाने का पता लगाने की आवश्यकता की अनुपस्थिति के कारण पतवार और अधिरचना के आंतरिक संस्करणों के उपयोग को अनुकूलित करना संभव है। इसके अलावा, गोला-बारूद के एक निश्चित आकार के साथ शुरू करना, एक रेल बंदूक के साथ एक जटिल अधिक कॉम्पैक्ट और आसान है। आग की विशेषताओं के दृष्टिकोण से, जैसे थूथन ऊर्जा या फायरिंग रेंज, रेल बंदूक आधुनिक मॉडलों की सबसे गंभीर "पाउडर" प्रणालियों की तरह दिखती है। बंदूकें तुफान के लिए गोला बारूद। पृष्ठभूमि में, एक प्रक्षेप्य, एक ढकेलनेवाला और एक फूस; सामने में - विधानसभा में एक शॉट इसी समय, इस वर्ग के हथियारों की कई समस्याओं को अभी तक हल नहीं किया गया है, और यह संभावना नहीं है कि वे निकट भविष्य में छुटकारा पाने में सक्षम होंगे। पारंपरिक तोपखाने परिसर से असेल्सन तूफान और उसके जैसे अन्य लोग अधिक जटिल और निर्माण के लिए महंगे हैं। इसके अलावा, उच्च ऊर्जा और उच्च-वेग प्रक्षेप्य के रूप में लाभ कम द्रव्यमान द्वारा मुआवजा दिया जाता है और, परिणामस्वरूप, गोला बारूद की अपर्याप्त शक्ति। तुर्की बंदूकधारियों द्वारा प्रस्तावित शॉट फॉर्म फैक्टर वारहेड के द्रव्यमान पर गंभीर प्रतिबंध लगाता है। यह ध्यान दिया जाना चाहिए कि प्रक्षेप्य के आगे के विकास का पूरे परियोजना के भविष्य पर एक निर्णायक प्रभाव हो सकता है। शोषण की लागत में वृद्धि और एक व्यक्तिगत शॉट की लागत में वृद्धि के संबंध में, निर्देशित गोला बारूद बनाने में एक भावना है। हालांकि, सीमित आकार और वजन स्वीकार्य अग्नि विशेषताओं को बनाए रखने और वांछित शक्ति प्राप्त करने के दौरान इस समस्या को सफलतापूर्वक हल करने की संभावना नहीं है। परियोजना की मुश्किल स्थिति में आने का खतरा तब होता है जब नियंत्रण की उपलब्धता आग की प्रभावशीलता को कम कर देगी, वॉरहेड बढ़ने से प्रक्षेप्य भारी हो जाएगा और इसकी प्रारंभिक गति कम हो जाएगी, और अंत में यह सब पारंपरिक बारूद तोपखाने पर वास्तविक लाभ का नुकसान होगा। हाल ही में आईडीईएफ २०१७ प्रदर्शनी में प्रस्तुत किया गया है, रेल बंदूक से लैस एसेलसन तूफान आर्टिलरी सिस्टम, आधुनिक और होनहार मध्यम और बड़े विस्थापन युद्धपोतों पर स्थापना के लिए है, जो आवश्यक बिजली आपूर्ति भी कर सकते हैं। क्या परीक्षण जहाजों पर बंदूकें की स्थापना या यहां तक कि पूर्ण संचालन के लिए परियोजना को लाना संभव होगा बेड़ा - अभी के लिए, कोई केवल अनुमान लगा सकता है। इस बीच, एलेकत्रोमानातिक शीर्ष कार्यक्रम का विकास जारी है। असेल्सन और उपमहाद्वीप के विशेषज्ञ विद्युत चुम्बकीय तोपखाने के विभिन्न पहलुओं का अध्ययन करना और इसके विकास के आगे के तरीकों की पहचान करना, साथ ही मौजूदा संरचनाओं के आवश्यक शोधन का निर्धारण करना जारी रखते हैं। इस संदर्भ में तुर्की उद्योग की योजनाओं की घोषणा पहले ही की जा चुकी है। एम्त प्रोग्राम का वांछित आउटपुट निम्नानुसार है। सेना और उद्योग जमीन या समुद्र में उपयोग के लिए उपयुक्त एक बड़ी कैलिबर रेल बंदूक चाहते हैं। इस प्रणाली को कम से कम २ किमी / सेकंड की गति के लिए गोला-बारूद को तेज करना होगा और इसे ३०० किमी की दूरी पर भेजना होगा। मार्गदर्शन प्रणाली से लैस लोगों सहित विभिन्न प्रयोजनों के लिए नए गोला बारूद बनाने की संभावना को बाहर नहीं किया गया है। क्या तुर्की के इंजीनियर सभी कार्यों को हल करने में सक्षम होंगे और सशस्त्र बलों को मौलिक रूप से नए हथियार दे सकते हैं। हालांकि, ईएमटी कार्यक्रम का बहुत अस्तित्व और हाल ही में शुरू किए गए प्रोटोटाइप तूफान ने कुछ बहुत ही दिलचस्प चीजों को प्रदर्शित किया है। परियोजना और नमूना दिखाते हैं कि अधिकांश औद्योगिक रूप से विकसित देश भी आशाजनक क्षेत्रों का अध्ययन करने में सक्षम नहीं हैं और यहां तक कि कुछ सफलता भी दिखाते हैं। फिर भी, इन सफलताओं के विकास और नए विकास को व्यावहारिक अनुप्रयोग में लाने की संभावना कुछ संदेह का सामना कर सकती है। और फिर भी, अस्पष्ट संभावनाओं के साथ, वर्तमान बहादुर तुर्की परियोजना बहुत रुचि है। सीप्री शीर्ष १००: २०१४ में सबसे बड़े हथियार निर्मातादूसरे प्रोटोटाइप रेल उपकरण का परीक्षण शुरू होता है दिम२०१७ २८ जून २०१७ ०६: ४७ नया

तक कि अमेरिकी कई सौ से अधिक शॉट्स के संसाधन के साथ एक बैरल नहीं बना सके, और फिर भी उनकी वैज्ञानिक और औद्योगिक क्षमता तुर्की की तुलना में बहुत अधिक है। निकोले के २८ जून २०१७ ०८: ४४ नया । यहां तक कि अमेरिकी कुछ सौ शॉट से अधिक के संसाधन के साथ एक बैरल नहीं बना सकते थे और आप सीखेंगे कि २०० मिमी (एक रेलगाड़ी के लिए लंबी दूरी की ऊर्जा में तुलनीय) के ऊपर एक कैलिबर की आधुनिक बंदूकों के लिए क्या संसाधन

एमिनो एसिड पोषण घटकों - हमिक एसिड स्टोरी - समाचार - शीआन नेचरटेक कं, लिमिटेड एमिनो एसिड पोषण अवयव एमिनो एसिड सबसे बुनियादी पदार्थ हैं जो जीवों में प्रोटीन बनाते हैं और जीवन की गतिविधियों से संबंधित होते हैं, और जीवों में प्रोटीन अणुओं की मूल इकाइयां हैं, जो अमीनो एसिड हैं जो जीवों की जीवन क्रियाओं से निकटता से संबंधित हैं। यह एंटीबॉडी में विशेष शारीरिक समारोह है और जीव में अपरिहार्य पोषक तत्वों में से एक है। एमिनो एसिड उर्वरक संयंत्र की अमीनो एसिड पर आधारित हैं, इसकी विशाल सतह गतिविधि और अवशोषण क्षमता, पोषक तत्वों (नाइट्रोजन, फास्फोरस, पोटेशियम, लोहा, एमिनो एसिड तांबे, मैंगनीज, जस्ता, एल्यूमीनियम, बोरान, इत्यादि) का उपयोग करके जो आवश्यक हैं मानव पौधों के विकास और विकास को जोड़ दिया जाता है, और कार्बनिक और अकार्बनिक यौगिकों को इसके अतिरिक्त और जटिलता द्वारा गठित किया जाता है। यह उर्वरक केवल बहुत सी तत्वों को धीमी गति से रिलीज और पूर्ण उपयोग नहीं रख सकता, बल्कि ट्रेस तत्वों की स्थिरता और दीर्घकालिक प्रभाव को भी सुनिश्चित कर सकता है। पौधों के श्वसन को बढ़ाने, पौधे की रेडॉक्स की प्रक्रिया में सुधार और पौधों के चयापचय को बढ़ावा देने का इसका अच्छा प्रभाव है। एमिनो एसिड यह प्रकाश संश्लेषण और क्लोरोफिल के गठन और ऑक्साइड की गतिविधि, एंजाइम की गतिविधि, बीज का अंकुरण, पोषक तत्वों का अवशोषण, और जड़ के विकास और विकास के रूप में शारीरिक और जैव रासायनिक प्रक्रियाओं को बढ़ावा दे सकती है, स्पष्ट रूप से बढ़ावा देने और सक्रिय करने के प्रभाव । विशेष रूप से, पौधों के साथ इसकी आत्मीयता किसी भी अन्य पदार्थ के बराबर नहीं होती है। एमिनो एसिड उर्वरक की प्रभावकारीता ने जैविक उर्वरक का दीर्घकालिक प्रभाव, उर्वरक की त्वरित अभिनय, जैव-उर्वरक की स्थिरता और सूक्ष्म उर्वरक की दक्षता निर्धारित की। यह पत्र मुख्य रूप से इस उर्वरक में कृषि में एमिनो एसिड के आवेदन पर चर्चा करता है। मिट्टी का ढेर मिट्टी संरचना की मूल इकाई है। अमीनो एसिड का उपयोग, मिट्टी के नमक को बहुत अधिक, क्षारीय भी मजबूत, मृदा कण की ऊंचाई फैलाव, मिट्टी संरचनात्मक अंतर के भौतिक और रासायनिक पात्रों को बदल सकता है, मिट्टी का ढेर बनाने के लिए अमीनो एसिड, अमीनो एसिड को मिट्टी के बल्क को लागू करने के बाद बढ़ावा देता है घनत्व में स्पष्ट रूप से कमी आई है, कुल सरंध्रता और जल धारण क्षमता में वृद्धि हुई है, जिससे मृदा जल संरक्षण और निषेचन की क्षमता में सुधार करने में मदद मिली है, इस प्रकार पौधे की जड़ विकास और विकास के लिए अनुकूल परिस्थितियां पैदा कर रही हैं। मृदा सूक्ष्मजीव मिट्टी की संरचना में महत्वपूर्ण कारकों में से एक है, मिट्टी के कार्बनिक और अकार्बनिक गुणवत्ता का परिवर्तन, पोषक तत्वों का साइकलिंग और पौधों की जीवन गतिविधि की प्रक्रिया में एंजाइमों का गठन। अमीनो एसिड मिट्टी की सूक्ष्मजीव गतिविधियों को बढ़ावा दे सकती है, मिट्टी की सूक्ष्मजीवों की संख्या में वृद्धि, मिट्टी की एंजाइम गतिविधि बढ़ा सकती है, बड़ी संख्या में घरेलू और विदेशी अनुसंधान के आंकड़ों ने पुष्टि की है कि अमीनो एसिड का प्रयोग एरोबिक बैक्टीरिया, एक्टिनोमायसीट्स, फाइबर की संख्या में विघटन बैक्टीरिया में वृद्धि हुई यह कार्बनिक पदार्थों के खनिज को गति देने और पोषक तत्वों के तत्वों को जारी करने के लिए लाभप्रद है। रासायनिक उद्योग के तेजी से विकास के साथ, रासायनिक उर्वरकों के उत्पादन और आवेदन मात्रा में वृद्धि हो रही है, और रासायनिक उर्वरकों के आवेदन ने कृषि उत्पादन के विकास में महत्वपूर्ण भूमिका निभाई है, लेकिन उर्वरक आवेदन की वृद्धि जैसे समस्याओं निवेश की लागत और उर्वरक उपयोग की कमी भी धीरे-धीरे प्रतिबिंबित होती है।
शिकायत में देरी का मतलब यह नहीं कि रेप पीड़िता झूठी है: कोर्ट तुरंत पुलिस में दर्ज कराने से इनकार करने का मतलब यह नहीं है कि पीड़िता झूठ बोल रही है बॉम्बे हाईकोर्ट ने सामूहिक दुष्कर्म के एक मामले में चार दोषियों की सजा बरकरार रखते हुए कहा कि यौन हमले की रिपोर्ट तुरंत पुलिस में दर्ज कराने से इनकार करने का मतलब यह नहीं है कि पीड़िता झूठ बोल रही है. क्योंकि भारतीय महिलाएं विरले ही ऐसे झूठे आरोप लगाती हैं. जस्टिस ए एम बदर ने इस सप्ताह के शुरू में दत्तात्रेय कोरडे, गणेश परदेशी , पिंटू खोसकर और गणेश जोले की अपील खारिज कर दी. इन चारों ने अप्रैल २०१३ में सुनाए गए सत्र अदालत के उस आदेश को चुनौती दी थी जिसमें उन्हें सामूहिक बलात्कार के जुर्म में दस साल जेल की सजा सुनाई गई थी. इन चारों को १५ मार्च २०१२ को एक महिला के साथ सामूहिक दुष्कर्म करने और उसके पुरुष दोस्त से मारपीट करने का दोषी ठहराया गया था. यह घटना तब की थी जब दोनों पीड़ित नासिक जिले में त्रयम्बकेश्वर से लौट रहे थे. दोषियों ने दावा किया कि उन्हें इस मामले में इसलिए फंसाया गया क्योंकि उन्होंने पीड़िता और उसके दोस्त को आपत्तिजनक हालत में देख लिया था और उन्हें अशोभनीय व्यवहार के लिए पुलिस के पास ले जाने की धमकी दी थी.
विराट ने कर दिया साफ कि आखिरकार रोहित शर्मा को केपटाउन टेस्ट में क्यों मिला अवसर रहाणे की जगह रोहित को टीम में शामिल किए जाने पर कप्तान विराट ने ये सफाई दी है । केपटाउन टेस्ट के बाद भारतीय टीम के चयन पर सवाल उठने लगे अहम तौर पर अजिंक्य रहाणे को टीम में जगह नहीं मिली तथा रोहित शर्मा को आखिरी ११ में शामिल किया गया। रोहित शर्मा ने श्रीलंका के खिलाफ पिछले तीन टेस्ट मैचों में अच्छी बल्लेबाजी की थी और बहुत रन बनाए थे। विराट ने रोहित को टीम में चुने जाने पर कहा है कि रोहित की मौजूदा फॉर्म को देखते हुए उन्हें टीम में शामिल किया गया। हमने टीम में खिलाड़ियों की मौजूदा फॉर्म को देखते हुए उन्हें अंतिम ग्यारह में शामिल किया। विराट ने कहा कि हमने अच्छे फॉर्म में चल रहे खिलाड़ियों के साथ मैदान पर उतरने का फैसला किया था। इस दौरे से चार वर्ष पहले जब भारतीय टीम द. अफ्रीका आई थी उस वक्त रहाणे ने टेस्ट सीरीज में अच्छी बल्लेबाजी की थी और भारत की तरफ से सीरीज में रन बनाने के मामले में तीसरे नंबर पर थे।
न्यूजीलैंड और चीन बीच जैविक खाद्य पदार्थो का हुआ समझौता न्यूजीलैंड-चीन में जैविक खाद्य व्यापार को लेकर हुआ समझौता वेलिंगटन। न्यूजीलैंड के प्राथमिक उद्योगों के मंत्रालय (एमपीआई) ने गुरुवार को कहा कि न्यूजीलैंड और चीन के बीच एक समझौता हुआ है, जिससे जैविक खाद्य पदार्थो के निर्माता निर्यात में बढ़ोतरी की उम्मीद कर सकते हैं। न्यूजीलैंड और चीन के बीच जैविक खाद्य पदार्थो का हुआ समझौता मंत्रालय में खाद्य पौधों एवं पर्यावरण मामलों के निदेशक पीटर थॉमसन ने एक बयान में कहा कि म्यूचल रिकगनिशन अरेंजमेंट फॉर सर्टिफाइड ऑर्गेनिक प्रोडक्ट्स न्यूजीलैंड में जैविक उद्योग के विकास का समर्थन और उपभोक्ताओं को अधिक से अधिक आश्वासन प्रदान करेगा। थॉमसन ने कहा, चीन से आयातित जैविक खाद्य पदार्थो में न्यूजीलैंड के उपभोक्ताओं का भरोसा बढ़ सकता है, क्योंकि एमपीआई ने चीनी प्रणाली का आकलन किया है, जिसके तहत उसे अच्छा पाया गया है। रविशंकर प्रसाद ने उद्यमियों से भारत को डाटा विश्लेषण का केंद्र बनाने में मदद...
मुझे उम्मीद है आप सब कुशल मंगल और खुश है। सबसे पहले में मेरे प्यारे पाठकों से माफी चाहता हूँ कि पिछले दो सप्ताह से ज्यादा समय से मैं आप लोगों से दूर रहा। इसके पीछे ट्रेनिंग्स का मेरा बसी स्केजूल मुख्य कारण है। आज की कहानी एक ऐसी महिला मॉडल क बारे में है जिसने दुनिया के नजरिये को नकारा और फिर उसे बदला भी दिया। एक बार अमेरिका में उबेर टैक्सी में सफ़र कर रही बेहद काली महिला (ब्लैक वोमेन) को देखते हुए टैक्सी चला रहे गोरे ने पूछा, अगर तुम्हे कोई $१०,००० (लगभग ६,५०,०००) दे तो क्या तुम अपनी चमड़ी को ब्लीच करवा कर इसे अच्छा बनाना चाहोगी? महिला ने मुस्कान भरते हुए उत्तर दिया, कभी नहीं क्यूंकि मेरी चमड़ी का रंग मेरे लिए भगवान् का एक आशीर्वाद है। इस घटना के बाद से आज वह एक बड़ी पब्लिक फिगर, खूबसूरती का एक इकन तथा महिलाओं के लिए एक प्रेरणा बन गई। न्याकीम गट्वेच का जन्म एथियोपिआ में हुआ और शुरूआती बचपन साउथ सुडान में गुजरा। चूँकि न्याकीम का बचपन अफ़्रीकी देशों में गुजरा था तो उसे कभी कोई ज्यादा बड़ी परेशानी नहीं उठानी पड़ी थी। क्यूंकि अफ्रीका के देशों में सभी लोगों का रंग सांवला होता था। हालाँकि सभी लोग उस से कम सांवले थे फिर भी समाज में उसे आसानी से अपना लिया जाता रहा था। परेशानी तब शुरू हुई जब १४ वर्ष की उम्र में उसके माता पिता सन २००७ में उसे अमेरिका ले गए और वहां नव यॉर्क के बफेलो शहर में रहने लगे। सबसे पहली परेशानी उसे स्कूल में झेलनी पड़ी जहाँ सभी बच्चे उसे घूर-घूर कर देखा करते थे। बच्चे उसके काले चहरे के बीचोबीच चमक रहे उसके दांतों का मजाक उड़ाते थे। सभी बच्चे उसे से दूर भागते थे। यहाँ तक की लंच तथा क्लास रूम में भी कोई उसके साथ बैठना पसंद नहीं करता था। कुछ बच्चे तो उसे छुकर भाग जाते थे। उसकी पीठ पीछे से जोर में कहते थे की देखो ये कितनी गन्दी है। कुछ बच्चे उसे कहते थे की तुम बन्दर लगती हो। इस सब से परेशां होकर वह अपनी माँ की गोदी में रोटी और पूछती कि आखिर स्कूल में सब उसे गन्दा क्यूँ कहते हैं। उसकी बड़ी बहन ने उसे समझाया कि उसे ब्लीच कर लेना चाहिए ताकि वह भी अपनी बड़ी बहन की तरह अच्छी दिखना शुरू हो जाये जिसने अमेरिका आते ही अपने शारीर को ब्लीच करवा दिया था। कुछ वर्ष तक यह सिलसिला चलता रहा जिसका असर ये हो रहा था की वह अपने आत्मविश्वास खोता जा रही थी और गुमसुम और अकेला रहना शुरू कर चुकी थी। उसके कोई दोस्त भी नहीं थे क्यूंकि वह अपने आप पास के बचों द्वारा अपनाई नहीं जाती थी। कुछ साल बाद न्याकीम और उसका परिवार बफेलो से मिनेसोटा चला गया। वहां जिस स्कूल में उसने पढना शुरू किया वहां काफी अफ्रीकन लोग रहते थे। हालाँकि वहां पर भी सभी लोगों का रंग उसके मुकाबले काफी हल्का था मगर फिर भी वहां उसका मजाक नहीं उदय जाता था। इस नै जगह और नए स्कूल में उसने ऐसे दोस्त बनाने शुरू किये जो उसका मजाक न उड़ाते हों। उसने सिर्फ ऐसे लोगों के साथ रहना और दोस्ती करना शुरू किया जो उसे जैसे के तैसे ही अपनाना चाहते हों। इसके बाद उसने अपने आप को समझाना शुरू किया कि वह जैसी भी वह अपने आप में खुबसूरत है और किसी भी कीमत पर ज्यादा लोगों में अपनाये जाने के लिए अपने आप के रंग को बदलने की कोशिश नहीं करेगी। वह हर रोज आईने के सामने खड़ी होई और अपने आप को देखते हुए कहती तुम बहुत खुबसूरत हो, तुम्हे इस तरह के खुबसूरत रूप में इश्वर ने किसी खास वजह से बनाया है। एक दिन इस नए स्कूल में अफ्रीकन्स के लिए फशन शो आयोजित किया गया। उसकी एक टीचर ने उसे भी उस शो में हिस्सा लाइन के लिए कहा। मगर न्याकीम ने यह कह कर बात को टालना चाह कि वो न तो वह कोई मॉडल है और वह नहीं चाहती कि लोगों के सामने जाए और लोग उसे उसके रंग के बाते करना शुरू करे। उसने कहा कि बड़ी मुश्किल से उसने अपना आत्मविशवास वापिस पाया है और मुश्किल से अपने आप से प्यार करने लगी है। टीचर ने उस से कहा कि वह सच में खुबसूरत है और एक ख़ास ड्रेस है जो उसे पहन लेनी चाहिए। न्याकीम ने उस शो में हिस्सा लिया और हिसा लेने के बाद बहुत खुश भी थी। उस शो के बाद उसे ये महसूस हुआ कि वह मॉडल बन सकती है क्यूंकि वह इस शो को एंजॉय कर रही थी। उसके कुछ दिनों बाद एक लोकल फोटोग्राफर से फोटो शूट करवाया गया। जिसमे से कुछ तस्वीरों को उस ने अपने इंस्टाग्रम पर उपलोड कर दिया। कुछ की सप्ताह में वो फोट्ग्राफ अमेरिका, अफ्रीका और अन्य देशों के सोशल मीडिया में छा गए। लोगों ने उसके नेचुरल बने रहने, अपने आपको पसंद करने और अपने आप से प्यार करने के लिए उसे सराहा और फॉलो करना शुरू कर दिया। तब से न्याकीम गेटऊच ने कभी पीछे मुड़कर नहीं देखा। विश्वभर में आज वह एक विराल सेन्सशन बन गई है। ऐसा कोई अखबार या मेगइन या कोई लाइफेशैली शो नहीं जिसने इस खुबसूरत मॉडल को जगन न दी हो। दोस्तों, न्याकीम गट्वेच की कहानी से समझा जा सकता है कि इस विश्व में आप के लिए सबसे महत्वपूरण अगर कोई है तो वह आप सवयं हैं। अगर आप अपने आप को पसंद नहीं करेंगे तो यकीं मानिये दुनिया में दूसरा भी कोई नहीं करेगा। आप को भगवान ने इस विशेष रूप में किसी विशेष कारण से भेजा है।अगर आप अपने आप को सिर्फ इसलिए बदलना चाहते हैं ताकि आपको आस-पास के लोग अपनाएं जा तो इस से बड़ी कष्टदायक मनोवृति दूसरी और कोई नहीं हो सकती है। अगर आप ध्यान से सोचें तो समझ सकते हैं कि लोगों की इसी मेंटालिटी (दूसरों की तरह दिखने की चाहत) का फायदा उठा कर न जाने कितने ही लोग आज अरबोंपति बन गए हैं। विश्व की पूरी की पूरी कॉस्मेटिक इंडस्ट्री तथा गरमेंट इंडस्ट्री लोगों की इसी चाहत के ऊपर निर्भर है। मैं यह नहीं कह रहा हूँ कि आप अपने में कोई बदलाव न करें या फिर जीवन को बेहतर न बनायें। मेरा मानना तो सिर्फ इतना है किसी की देखा-देखी में अपने आप को न बदलें। आपकी अपनी एक इडेन्टाइटी है या पहचान है। इस पहचान से प्यार करना सीखे, इसे बनाकर रखें। दूसरों की देखा-देखि में इसे नष्ट न करें। सिर्फ इसलिए अपने आप को न बदलें क्यूंकि दुनिया आपको आपके नेचुरल इडेन्टाइटी के लिए एक्सेप्ट नहीं करती है।
समाजवादी कुनबे में ये सिंहासन पर कब्ज़े की लड़ाई है, टीपू ही सुल्तान होगा। बात पार्टी की आगे की रणनीति पर ही हो रही थी। लेकिन बातचीत में ही मुलामय सिंह के संबंधी ने कहा कि २०१७ के चुनाव में मुलायम की चुनौती शिवपाल होंगे। सालों पहले एक स्टोरी के सिलसिले में मुलायम सिंह के संबंधी के साथ बैठा था। बातचीत चल रही थी। पार्टी जीत कर सत्ता में आई थी। लिहाज़ा बात पार्टी की आगे की रणनीति पर ही हो रही थी। लेकिन बातचीत में ही मुलामय सिंह के संबंधी ने कहा कि २०१७ के चुनाव में मुलायम की चुनौती शिवपाल होंगे। अजीब सी बात लगी। और लगा कि शायद उनकी अपनी राजनीति का गणित शिवपाल के गणित से टकरा रहा है शायद इसी लिए ये कहा होगा। लेकिन बात गहरी थी। बात आयी-गयी हो गई। लेकिन जैसे ही अखिलेश और शिवपाल का झगड़ा शुरू हुआ तो लगा कि सालों पहले से ये प्लान मुलायम सिंह के दिमाग में साफ़ था। भाई और लड़के के भविष्य के बीच चुनाव करना है तो हिंदुस्तानी राजनीति और हिंदु्स्तानियों की परंपरा बेटे को ही चुनती है। भले ही भाई की कुर्बानी की तारीफ में नेताजी की ज़ुबान में कितने ही छाले पड़ जाएं। इस बार की सरकार में शिवपाल के लोग काफी थे। ऐसे तमाम विधायक थे जो शिवपाल के इशारे पर इस्तीफा दे भले नहीं लेकिन लंका लगा सकते थे। लिहाजा मुलायम अपने बेटे को समय समय पर भभकियां दे कर लोगों को और उससे भी ज्यादा अपने भाई को बहलाते रहे। सरकार के बीच में टूट जाने से बहुत से लोग शिवपाल के पाले में भी खड़े हो सकते थे। लिहाजा चार साल राम राम करते हुए गुजर गए। मंथराओं से भरे हुए सत्ता तंत्र में षड़यंत्र तो दिमाग तेज करने के काम आते है। लिहाजा षड़यंत्र बुने जाते रहे और लोग आते जाते रहे। मोहरे बदलते रहे और बिसात पर खेलने वाले पिता-पुत्र ही रहे। मुलायम सिंह की जमीनी समझ पर शायद ही किसी को ऐतराज हो। और पाला बदलने की उनकी योग्यता पहलावानी के अखाड़ों से उपजी हुई है। ऐसे में जब चुनाव नजदीक आ गए तो शिवपाल का पहाड़ा पढ़ने का समय भी आ गया। नेताजी की बिगड़ती हुई सेहत इस बात की ओर इशारा कर रही थी कि जल्दी ही अखिलेश का रास्ता निष्कंटक करना होगा नहीं तो चुनाव के बाद संकट शुरू हो सकता है। सरकार को बनाने के लिए विधायकों को जीताना होता है। और विधायकों को जीताने से पहले अपने आदमियों को टिकट देना होता है। टिकट बांटने का अधिकार किसी भी तरह से साझा करना सत्ता में साझा करना होता है। और मुलायम सिंह इसको किसी के साथ साझा नहीं करना चाहते थे। लिहाजा ये पूरा नाटक तैयार किया गया। शिवपाल जमीन पर मजबूत आदमी है। जातिवादी कबीलाई मानसिकता का जीता जागता रूप। अपने आदमी के लिए आखिरी तक लड़ने की मुलायम सिंह की आदत के एक दम अनुरूप। भाई के लिए परछाईयों से भी लड़ जाने वाले शिवपाल में सब कुछ सही था बस इतिहास उनके खिलाफ आ गया। इतिहास गवाह है कि ज्यादातर मौकों पर सत्ता बेटों को दी जाती है भाईयों को नहीं। और यही कारण है कि जातिवादी राजनीति के मसीहा और मुस्लिम यादव एकता के नायक मुलायम सिंह यादव ने शिवपाल सिंह को धता बता दी। अब टिकट बंटवारे के वक्त अगर शिवपाल बगावत भी करते है तो उनकी आदत खराब बता कर उनको पार्टी से बाहर का रास्ता दिखा दिया जाएंगा। ये सारा खेल मुलायम सिंह का था और शिवपाल मुलायम की भाषा समझने में सबसे एक्सपर्ट होने के बावजूद दांव खा गए। ( इस लेख में व्यक्त किये गये विचार पूर्ण रूप से लेखक के हैं) 'आप' के विधायक पर ९ लाख रुपए ठगने का आरोप, सरीता सिंह ने बताया आरोप को आधारहीन अरुण जेटली से बेहतर वित्त मंत्री हो सकता हूं मैं: सुब्रमण्यम स्वामी ज&क में आर्मी हेडक्वार्टर पर आतंकी हमला, १७ जवान शहीद, ४ आतंकी ढेर, घायलों से मिलने पहुंचे आर्मी चीफ अमेरिका: न्यूयॉर्क के मैनहट्टन में ब्लास्ट, २६ लोग घायल

पेइचिंग। चीन में एक एयर होस्टेस को उड़ान के दौरान शादी का प्रस्ताव स्वीकारना महंगा पड़ गया। विमानन कंपनी ने एयर होस्टेज को नौकरी से निकाल दिया। चाइना ईस्टर्न एयरलाइन्स में सफर कर रहे एयर होस्टेस के बॉयफ्रेंड ने घुटनों के बल बैठकर शादी का प्रस्ताव रखा और एयर होस्टेज इस प्रस्ताव को अस्वीकार नहीं कर पाई। खबर सामने आने के बाद विमानन कंपनी ने एयर होस्टेस को १० सितंबर को नौकरी से निकाल दिया। एशिया वन की रिपोर्ट के मुताबिक, विमान के उड़ान भरने के ३० मिनट बाद ही बॉयफ्रेंड उनके सामने आ खड़ा हुआ और घुटने के बल बैठकर उन्हें प्रपोज किया। इससे संबंधित विडियो वायरल हो रहा है। कंपनी ने एयर होस्टेस को निकाले जाने पर दलील दी है कि काम के दौरान रोमांस से यात्रियों में खलबली मच गई और यह सुरक्षा को लेकर बेहद गैर जिम्मेदाराना व्यवहार है। पूर्व तानाशाह हुस्नी मुबारक के दोनों बेटों की गिरफ्तारी का आदेश

हल फाइनल्स : सेमीफाइनल में भारत का मुकाबला अर्जेटीना से भुवनेश्वर। हॉकी वल्र्ड लीग फाइनल्स के सेमीफाइनल में भारतीय पुरुष हॉकी टीम का सामना आज (शुक्रवार) शीर्ष विश्व वरीयता प्राप्त अर्जेंटीना से होगा। विश्व रैंकिंग में छठे स्थान पर काबिज भारतीय टीम और अर्जेंटीना दोनों ही टीमें फाइनल में पहुंचने के लिए जीत का भरसक प्रयास करेंगी। उल्लेखनीय है कि दोनों ही टीमें अब तक इस खिताब से वंचित हैं। रायपुर में २०१४-१५ में भारत को इस लीग में तीसरा स्थान हासिल हुआ था। उसने नीदरलैंड्स को तीसरे स्थान के लिए खेले गए मैच में ५-५ से ड्रॉ के बाद पेनाल्टी शूटआउट में ३-२ से मात दी थी। अर्जेंटीना ने अभी तक इस टूर्नामेंट में खिताबी जीत हासिल नहीं की है और न ही वह दूसरा या तीसरा स्थान हासिल कर पाया है। लीग में अब तक के प्रदर्शन को देखा जाए, तो पूल-ए में शामिल अर्जेंटीना को पहले मैच में बेल्जियम से ३-२ से हार का सामना करना पड़ा था, लेकिन इसके बाद उसने २01२-1३ की खिताबी विजेता रही नीदरलैंड्स के साथ मैच ३-३ से ड्रॉ किया। स्पेन ने इसके बाद तीसरे मैच में अर्जेंटीना को २-१ से मात दी थी, लेकिन अपनी कोशिशों को जारी रखते हुए अर्जेंटीना ने क्वार्टर फाइनल में २0१२-१३ में तीसरे स्थान पर रही इंग्लैंड को ३-२ से हराया और सेमीफाइनल की राह तय की। पूल-बी में शामिल भारत का अब तक का सफर इस लीग में उतार-चढ़ाव से भरा रहा। आस्ट्रेलिया के खिलाफ भारत का मैच १-१ से ड्रॉ रहा। हालांकि, दूसरे मैच में उसे इंग्लैंड से २-३ स हार का सामना करना पड़ा।

ऑर्गेनिक वाइन फिर भी आपको सिरदर्द देता है | लुनार एक्सप्लोरर ऑर्गेनिक जाना पर्यावरण के लिए अच्छा हो सकता है, लेकिन यह आपके स्वास्थ्य के लिए कुछ नहीं करता है मैं हाल ही में काफी भाग्यशाली था जो मार्सिले के पास फ्रांस के दक्षिण में वाइन-चखने के लिए गया था। जो कोई भी कभी नहीं रहा है, मैं आपको दृढ़ता से जाने के लिए प्रोत्साहित करता हूं, आंशिक रूप से क्योंकि शराब बिल्कुल स्वादिष्ट है, और आंशिक रूप से क्योंकि दृश्य गंभीर रूप से सुंदर है। लेकिन आश्चर्यजनक स्वादिष्ट मदिरा के बीच, थोड़ा खट्टा नोट था। जब हम पहली वाइनरी के पास पहुँचे, उससे ठीक पहले हमने अपना पहला मनोरम पुआल रंग का मिश्रण आजमाया, तो हमें बताया गया कि ये वाइन अतिरिक्त अच्छी थीं। न केवल वे २५-वर्षीय दाखलताओं से बने थे - जाहिरा तौर पर शराब अंगूर के लिए एक सभ्य उम्र - लेकिन वे कुछ दूर, बेहतर थे। वे जैविक थे। न केवल इसका मतलब यह था कि हम वाइन पी रहे थे जो ग्रह के लिए अच्छा था, हम वाइन भी पी रहे थे जो हमारे लिए अच्छा था। आप देखते हैं, विंटनर ने कहा, ऑर्गेनिक वाइन में वे सभी गंदे रसायन नहीं होते हैं जो ज्यादातर वाइन करते हैं। और रसायनों से मुक्त होने के नाते, न केवल एक गिलास आपके स्वास्थ्य के लिए अच्छा है - पीने के खतरों के बारे में उन तथाकथित स्वास्थ्य पेशेवरों से चेतावनी के बावजूद - लेकिन यह शराब इतनी अच्छी थी कि यह आपको सिरदर्द भी नहीं देगा। हैंगओवर भी नहीं! अगर यह सच होने के लिए बहुत अच्छा लगता है, तो, इसके लिए एक अच्छा कारण है। यह कथन शुरू हुआ - जैसा कि ऑर्गेनिक्स के बारे में सभी तर्क करते हैं - इस विचार के साथ कि ऑर्गेनिक्स के बारे में आंतरिक रूप से कुछ अलग है। ऐसा नहीं है कि वे साफ-सुथरे हैं, ठीक है, लेकिन यह है कि जैविक भोजन उगाने वाले किसान उन सभी रासायनिक रसायनों का उपयोग नहीं करते हैं, जिन्हें हम सभी जानते हैं कि वे आधुनिक खेती के ब्रेड-एंड-बटर हैं। यह उन्हें न केवल पर्यावरण के लिए बल्कि आपके और मेरे लिए सुरक्षित बनाता है। यह पूरा विचार दो धारणाओं पर आधारित है। पहला यह है कि आधुनिक खेती हमारे स्वास्थ्य के लिए खराब है, क्योंकि इसमें ऐसे रसायनों का उपयोग किया गया है जो नकारात्मक स्वास्थ्य प्रभाव का कारण बन सकते हैं। जबकि यह आंशिक रूप से सच है - कीटनाशकों का उच्च स्तर मानव स्वास्थ्य के लिए हानिकारक हो सकता है - यह इस तथ्य की अनदेखी करता है कि मनुष्यों द्वारा उपभोग किए गए खाद्य पदार्थों में शेष कीटनाशकों का नगण्य स्तर सुरक्षित होने के लिए प्रदर्शित किया गया है। यह धारणा इस विचार में खेलती है कि निर्मित उत्पाद डरावने और बुरे हैं, और यह कि प्राकृतिक चीजें अच्छी होनी चाहिए, इस तथ्य की अनदेखी करते हुए कि प्राकृतिक चीजों में सांप का जहर और महान सफेद शार्क शामिल हैं और निर्मित चीजों में तले हुए अंडे और चॉकलेट केक शामिल हैं। दूसरी धारणा यह है कि जैविक खाद्य पदार्थों में कोई कीटनाशक नहीं होता है, और इसलिए वे परंपरागत रूप से खेती वाले सामानों से बेहतर होते हैं। यह स्पष्ट रूप से असत्य है। अधिकांश जैविक खेत कीटनाशकों का उदारतापूर्वक उपयोग करते हैं। कीटनाशकों की उत्पत्ति में एकमात्र अंतर है: यदि वे 'प्राकृतिक' स्रोतों से आते हैं, तो एक खेत को जैविक प्रमाणित किया जा सकता है और फिर भी उनका उपयोग किया जा सकता है। फिर, यह अनदेखा करता है कि मानव स्वास्थ्य के लिए 'प्राकृतिक' उत्पाद कितने हानिकारक हो सकते हैं। और जब हम कार्बनिक खाद्य पदार्थों के स्वास्थ्य लाभों को देखते हैं, तो, कोई भी नहीं है। मैंने अभी जिस अध्ययन का हवाला दिया, वह लगभग १००,००० अध्ययनों की एक व्यवस्थित समीक्षा है, और साहित्य के उस विशाल संग्रह में वैज्ञानिकों को ऑर्गेनिक्स के बारे में एक भी स्वास्थ्य दावा नहीं मिला जो वास्तव में विज्ञान द्वारा अच्छी तरह से समर्थित था। तो, जैविक शराब के स्वस्थ होने का आधार - कि यह खराब रसायनों से बचा जाता है - बस गलत है। लोग अभी भी क्यों कहते हैं कि यह है? वाइन के बारे में बहुत सारे 'ऑर्गेनिक' तर्क एक आम तौर पर जोड़े गए प्रिजर्वेटिव वर्ग में आते हैं जिसे सल्फाइट्स कहा जाता है। इस वर्ग में कई रसायन शामिल हैं जो शराब में बैक्टीरिया के विकास को रोकने में मदद करते हैं और इसे लंबे समय तक ताजा रखते हैं। एक बहुत ही सामान्य दावा है कि शराब के कारण होने वाले सिरदर्द सल्फाइट्स के कारण होते हैं। यह विचार है कि बहुत से लोगों को सल्फाइट्स से निम्न स्तर की एलर्जी होती है और उन्हें मदिरा में शामिल करना माइग्रेन का प्रमुख कारण है जो कुछ लोगों को पीने के बाद होता है। चूंकि कई जैविक मदिरा अपने उत्पादों में सल्फाइट नहीं जोड़ते हैं, इसलिए विचार यह है कि वे आपके स्वास्थ्य के लिए बेहतर हैं और उन्हें पीने के बाद आपको सिरदर्द नहीं होगा। बेशक, यह पूरी तरह से शराब पीने के मुख्य आकर्षणों में से एक को अनदेखा करता है: शराब। जब तक सल्फाइट एलर्जी अज्ञात नहीं होती है - यह अनुमान लगाया जाता है कि लगभग १% आबादी में सल्फाइट एलर्जी के कुछ रूप हैं - शराब सिर दर्द और मतली सहित किसी भी स्वास्थ्य संबंधी समस्या का कारण बनने के लिए अच्छी तरह से जाना जाता है। यह इस तथ्य को भी नजरअंदाज करता है कि कई खाद्य उत्पादों में वाइन की तुलना में सल्फाइट्स के उच्च स्तर होते हैं। यदि आपके पास सूखे फल की प्रतिक्रिया नहीं है, जिसमें लगभग १०क्स सल्फाइट होता है, जो अधिकांश वाइन के रूप में होता है, तो आपको शायद वाइन में सल्फाइट के बारे में चिंता करने की ज़रूरत नहीं है। मूल रूप से, वाइन में सल्फाइट्स स्वास्थ्य के मुद्दों का कारण बनने की संभावना नहीं है। और उन्हें जोड़ने वाली जैविक मदिरा किसी भी तरह से वाइन को स्वस्थ नहीं बनाएगी। ऑर्गेनिक वाइन के आस-पास के अन्य स्वास्थ्य संबंधी दावे ऑर्गेनिक मूवमेंट के मूल सिद्धांत पर वापस आते हैं: प्राकृतिक अच्छा है, निर्मित खराब है, इसलिए हमारे उत्पादों को १०क्स के लिए खरीदें। और जब तक यह विश्वास करने के लिए मोहक लगता है कि जैविक शराब पीने से आप स्वस्थ हो सकते हैं, यह सिर्फ मामला नहीं है। शराब आपकी सेहत के लिए खराब है। शराब युक्त उत्पाद आपके शरीर को असंख्य हानि पहुँचाते हैं। यह मानने का कोई कारण नहीं है कि जैविक शराब पीने का कोई स्वास्थ्य लाभ है, और संदेह करने के लिए बहुत सारे कारण हैं। शराब पीने के लिए केवल सही मायने में सुरक्षित राशि नहीं है। अंततः, यह सब एक साधारण तथ्य पर उतरता है: जैविक उत्पाद आपके स्वास्थ्य के लिए कुछ भी नहीं करते हैं। यह कहना नहीं है कि वे बेकार हैं। निश्चित रूप से सबूत हैं कि ऑर्गेनिक्स पर्यावरण के लिए बेहतर हैं, और यदि आप जैव विविधता के बारे में चिंतित हैं तो जैविक फल और सब्जी पर कुछ अतिरिक्त डॉलर खर्च करना एक अच्छा विकल्प हो सकता है। लेकिन स्वास्थ्य के दृष्टिकोण से, इससे कोई फ़र्क नहीं पड़ता है अगर आपके अंगूर को व्यवस्थित रूप से या पारंपरिक अंगूर के बाग में उगाया जाता है - परिणाम समान है। अगर आपको मज़ा आया, या सिर्फ शराब से प्यार है, तो नीचे दिए गए हाथ के बटन के साथ कुछ क्लैप्स भेजकर मुझे बताएं! आप मुझे यहां या ट्विटर पर भी फॉलो कर सकते हैं, या मेरे एक अन्य लेख को पढ़ सकते हैं कि क्यों मध्यम शराब पीना अभी भी आपके स्वास्थ्य के लिए बुरा है, कच्चा दूध निश्चित रूप से आपके स्वास्थ्य के लिए बुरा है, या ब्रा शायद ठीक क्यों हैं। आप देख सकते हैं कि मैंने स्वाद के सवाल को स्पष्ट कर दिया है। यह आंशिक रूप से है क्योंकि शराब बनाना एक जटिल कला है, जिसके बारे में मैं बात करने के लिए योग्य नहीं हूं, और आंशिक रूप से इसलिए कि मैं एक प्लीब हूं जो वाइन को पसंद करता है जो "ग्रेपी" है और अधिक जटिल सूक्ष्मता के बारे में कोई विचार नहीं है जो वास्तव में शानदार वाइन में जाते हैं। । ऑर्गेनिक वाइन का स्वाद बेहतर हो सकता है, लेकिन ईमानदारी से मैंने कभी इस पर ध्यान नहीं दिया। मैं कभी-कभी एक दाख की बारी में जाने की सलाह देता हूं, वाइन निर्माताओं से अपनी वाइन पीने के दौरान बात करना एक अद्भुत अनुभव है। क्यूसी - एकात्मक ऑपरेटरों के साथ क्वांटम कंप्यूटिंग को नियंत्रित, हस्तक्षेप और उलझावपरिकल्पना परीक्षण५ बातें जो मैंने नील डेग्रसे टायसन से सीखींद बिगिनर्स पैराडॉक्स: वी मस्ट फॉल इन ऑर्डर टू राइज३० न्यूज़लेटर्स मैं इसके बिना नहीं रह सकता
आईएनएक्स मीडिया केस : सरकारी गवाह बनना चाहती है आरोपी इंद्राणी मुखर्जी - हिन्दी न्यूज आईएनएक्स मीडिया घूस मामले में आरोपी व पूर्व मीडिया प्रमोटर इंद्राणी मुखर्जी ने सरकारी गवाह बनने के लिए कोर्ट में याचिका दी है। इंद्राणी के पास वकील न होने के कारण इस पर बृहस्पतिवार को सुनवाई नहीं हो सकी। उस पर एक सप्ताह बाद सुनवाई होगी। पटियाला हाउस कोर्ट के विशेष सीबीआई जज सुनील कुमार राणा के समक्ष इंद्राणी की मुंबई की भायखला जेल से वीडियो कांफ्रेंसिंग के जरिये पेशी हुई। उसने बताया कि वह इसमें सरकारी गवाह बनना चाहती है। कोर्ट के पूछने पर उसने बताया कि उसके पास कोई वकील नहीं है, इसलिये उसे वकील मुहैया करवाया जाए। कोर्ट ने दिल्ली राज्य विधिक सेवा प्राधिकरण को सरकारी पर विचार करने का निर्देश दिया है। सीबीआई व ईडी ने आईएनएक्स मीडिया रिश्वत मामले में पूर्व वित्त मंत्री पी चिदंबरम, उनके बेटे कार्ति, सीए भास्कर रमण व इंद्राणी मुखर्जी को आरोपी बनाया है। एजेंसी का आरोप है कि आईएनएक्स मीडिया समूह में विदेशी निवेश प्रोत्साहन बोर्ड (एफआईपीबी) की अनुमति दिलाने के लिए चिदंबरम ने अपने पद का दुरुपयोग किया था और अपने बेटे कार्ति के जरिये ३०० करोड़ से ज्यादा की घूस ली थी। पूछताछ में इंद्राणी बता चुकी है कि वह एफआईपीबी की मंजूरी के सिलसिले में कार्ति चिदंबरम से मिली थी। गौरतलब है कि पी. चिदंबरम की अग्रिम जमानत याचिका पर हाईकोर्ट में फैसला सुरक्षित है, जबकि कार्ति जमानत पर बाहर हैं। चिदंबरम पर बेटे के जरिये रिश्वत ३०० करोड़ लेने का आरोप

।।७.६।। यह जानो कि समम्पूर्ण भूत इन दोनों प्रकृतियों से उत्पत्ति वाले हैं। (अत) मैं सम्पूर्ण जगत् का उत्पत्ति तथा प्रलय स्थान हूँ।। ।।७.६।। व्याख्या एतद्योनीनि भूतानि (टिप्पणी प० 4०१.१) जितने भी देवता मनुष्य पशु पक्षी आदि जङ्गम और वृक्ष लता घास आदि स्थावर प्राणी हैं वे सबकेसब मेरी अपरा और परा प्रकृतिके सम्बन्धसे ही उत्पन्न होते हैं।तेरहवें अध्यायके छब्बीसवें श्लोकमें भी भगवान्ने क्षेत्र और क्षेत्रज्ञके सम्बन्धसे सम्पूर्ण स्थावरजङ्गम प्राणियोंकी उत्पत्ति बतायी है। यही बात सामान्य रीतिसे चौदहवें अध्यायके चौथे श्लोकमें भी बतायी है कि स्थावर जङ्गम योनियोंमें उत्पन्न होनेवाले जितने शरीर हैं वे सब प्रकृतिके हैं और उन शरीरोंमें जो बीज अर्थात् जीवात्मा है वह मेरा अंश है। उसी बीज अर्थात् जीवात्माको भगवान्ने परा प्रकृति (७। ५) और अपना अंश (१५। ७) कहा है।सर्वाणीत्युपधारय स्वर्गलोक मृत्युलोक पाताललोक आदि सम्पूर्ण लोकोंके जितने भी स्थावरजङ्गम प्राणी हैं वे सबकेसब अपरा और परा प्रकृतिके संयोगसे ही उत्पन्न होते हैं। तात्पर्य है कि परा प्रकृतिने अपराको अपना मान लिया है (टिप्पणी प० 4०१.२) उसका सङ्ग कर लिया है इसीसे सब प्राणी पैदा होते हैं इसको तुम धारण करो अर्थात् ठीक तरहसे समझ लो अथवा मान लो।अहं कृत्स्नस्य जगतः प्रभवः प्रलयस्तथा मात्र वस्तुओंको सत्तास्फूर्ति परमात्मासे ही मिलती है इसलिये भगवान् कहते हैं कि मैं सम्पूर्ण जगत्का प्रभव (उत्पन्न करनेवाला) और प्रलय (लीन करनेवाला) हूँ।प्रभवःका तात्पर्य है कि मैं ही इस जगत्का निमित्तकारण हूँ क्योंकि सम्पूर्ण सृष्टि मेरे संकल्पसे (टिप्पणी प० 4०१.३) पैदा हुई है सदैक्षत बहु स्यां प्रजायेयेति (छान्दोग्य० ६। २। ३)।जैसे घड़ा बनानेमें कुम्हार और सोनेके आभूषण बनानेमें सुनार ही निमित्तकारण है ऐसे ही संसारमात्रकी उत्पत्तिमें भगवान् ही निमित्तकारण हैं।प्रलयः कहनेका तात्पर्य है कि इस जगत्का उपादानकारण भी मैं ही हूँ क्योंकि कार्यमात्र उपादानकारणसे उत्पन्न होता है उपादानकारणरूपसे ही रहता है और अन्तमें उपादानकारणमें ही लीन हो जाता है।जैसे घड़ा बनानेमें मिट्टी उपादानकारण है ऐसे ही सृष्टिकी रचना करनेमें भगवान् ही उपादानकारण हैं। जैसे घड़ा मिट्टीसे ही पैदा होता है मिट्टीरूप ही रहता है और अन्तमें टूट करके घिसतेघिसते मिट्टी ही बन जाता है और जैसे सोनेके यावन्मात्र आभूषण सोनेसे ही उत्पन्न होते हैं सोनारूप ही रहते हैं और अन्तमें सोना ही रह जाते हैं ऐसे ही यह संसार भगवान्से ही उत्पन्न होता है भगवान्में ही रहता है और अन्तमें भगवान्में ही लीन हो जाता है। ऐसा जानना ही ज्ञान है। सब कुछ भगवत्स्वरूप है भगवान्के सिवाय दूसरा कुछ है ही नहीं ऐसा अनुभव हो जाना विज्ञान है।कृत्स्नस्य जगतः पदोंमें भगवान्ने अपनेको जडचेतनात्मक सम्पूर्ण जगत्का प्रभव और प्रलय बताया है। इसमें जड(अपरा प्रकृति) का प्रभव और प्रलय बताना तो ठीक है पर चेतन(परा प्रकृति अर्थात् जीवात्मा) का उत्पत्ति और विनाश कैसे हुआ क्योंकि वह तो नित्य तत्त्व है नित्यः सर्वगतः स्थाणुरचलोऽयं सनातनः (गीता २। २4)। जो परिवर्तनशील है उसको जगत् कहते हैं गच्छतीति जगत्। पर यहाँ जगत् शब्द जडचेतनात्मक सम्पूर्ण संसारका वाचक है। इसमें जडअंश तो परिवर्तनशील है और चेतनअंश सदासर्वथा परिवर्तनरहित तथा निर्विकार है। वह निर्विकार तत्त्व जब जडके साथ अपना सम्बन्ध मानकर तादात्म्य कर लेता है तब वह जड(शरीर) के उत्पत्तिविनाशकको अपना उत्पत्तिविनाश मान लेता है। इसीसे उसके जन्ममरण कहे जाते हैं। इसीलिये भगवान्ने अपनेको सम्पूर्ण जगत् अर्थात् अपरा और परा प्रकृतिका भाव तथा प्रलय बताया है।अगर यहाँ जगत् शब्दसे केवल नाशवान् परिवर्तनशील और विकारी संसारको ही लिया जाय चेतनको नहीं लिया जाय तो बड़ी बाधा लगेगी। भगवान्ने कृत्स्नस्य जगतः पदोंसे अपनेको सम्पूर्ण जगत्का कारण बताया है (टिप्पणी प० 4०२)। अतः सम्पूर्ण जगत्के अन्तर्गत स्थावरजङ्गम जडचेतन सभी लिये जायँगे। अगर केवल जडको लिया जायगा तो चेतनभाग छूट जायगा जिससे मैं सम्पूर्ण जगत्का कारण हूँ यह कहना नहीं बन सकेगा और आगे भी बड़ी बाधा लगेगी। कारण कि आगे इसी अध्यायके तेरहवें श्लोकमें भगवान्ने कहा है कि तीनों गुणोंसे मोहित जगत् मेरेको नहीं जानता तो यहाँ जानना अथवा न जानना चेतनका ही हो सकता है जडका जानना अथवा न जानना होता ही नहीं। इसलिये जगत् शब्दसे केवल जडको ही नहीं चेतनको भी लेना पड़ेगा।ऐसे ही सोलहवें अध्यायके आठवें श्लोकमें भी आसुरी सम्पदावालोंकी मान्यताके अनुसार जगत् शब्दसे जड और चेतन दोनों ही लेने पड़ेंगें क्योंकि आसुरी सम्पदावाले व्यक्ति सम्पूर्ण शरीरधारी जीवोंको असत्य मानते हैं केवल जडको नहीं। इसलिये अगर वहाँ जगत् शब्दसे केवल जड संसार ही लिया जाय तो जगत्को (जड संसारको) असत्य मिथ्या और अप्रतिष्ठित कहनेवाले अद्वैतसिद्धान्ती भी आसुरी सम्पदावालोंमें आ जायँगे जो कि सर्वथा अनुचित है। ऐसे ही आठवें अध्यायके छब्बीसवें श्लोकमें आये शुक्लकृष्णे गती ह्येते जगतः पदोंमें जगत् शब्द केवल जडका ही वाचक मानें तो जडकी शुक्ल और कृष्ण गतिका क्या तात्पर्य होगा गति तो चेतनकी ही होती है। जडसे तादात्म्य करनेके कारण ही चेतनको जगत् नामसे कहा गया है।इन सब बातोंपर विचार करनेसे यह निष्कर्ष निकलता है कि जडके साथ एकात्मता करनेसे जीव जगत् कहा जाता है। परन्तु जब यह जडसे विमुख होकर चिन्मयतत्त्वके साथ अपनी एकताका अनुभव कर लेता है तब यह योगी कहा जाता है जिसका वर्णन गीतामें जगहजगह आया है। सम्बन्ध पूर्वश्लोकमें भगवान्ने अपनेको परा और अपरा प्रकृतिरूप सम्पूर्ण जगत्का मूल कारण बताया। अब भगवान्के सिवाय भी जगत्का और कोई कारण होगा इसका आगेके श्लोकमें निषेध करते हैं।
हेल्थ और ब्यूटी टिप्स हेल्थ टिप्स फल खाने का सही समय फल हमारी अच्छी सेहत बनाने में बहुत ही अहम भूमिका को निभाते हैं। फलों को सेहत का खजाना कहा जाता है। फलों में भरपूर मात्रा में पोषक तत्व पाएं जाते हैं जब भी कोई व्यक्ति इसका सेवन नियमित रूप से करता है तो वह कई रोगों से दूर रहता है। लेकिन क्या आप जानते हैं फल खाने का सही समय होता हैं। जब भी लोग फल का सेवन किसी गलत समय पर करते हैं तब उनको सर्दी जुकाम जैसी समस्या से गुजरना पड़ता है। इतना ही नहीं वह उस फल का लाभ दोबारा उठाने से भी कतराते हैं। हम आपको बता दें कि फल खाने का सही समय होता है। इसको खाने के कुछ नियम होते हैं। दिन में ऐसा समय होता है जिस समय फल का सेवन आपकी सेहत के लिए लाभकारी होता है। लेकिन जब आप गलत समय पर फल खाते हो तो आपके शरीर को फायदा नहीं बल्कि नुकसान होता है। आपको फल का सेवन किस समय करना चाहिए। यह जानना आपके लिए बहुत ही जरूरी हैं। इसके लिए जानते हैं फल खाने का सही समय क्या है। संतरा खाने का सही समय संतरे का सेवन हमेशा दिन के समय करना चाहिए। इस बात का ध्यान रखें कि जब भी आप संतरे का सेवन करें वो समय सुबह या रात का न हो। इतना ही नहीं इसका सेवन खाना खाने के एक घंटा पहले या बाद में करें। अंगूर खाने का सही समय अंगूर का सेवन शरीर में पानी की मात्रा को संतुलित करने में सहायता करता है। अगर आप अंगूर का सेवन सुबह के समय में करते हो तो यह आपके शरीर के लिए बहुत ही उत्तम माना जाता है। धूप में निकलने से पहले या फिर आने के बाद आप इसका सेवन कर सकते हो। अगर आप अंगूर का सेवन कर रहें हो इस बात का ध्यान रखें कि भोजन और अंगूर के मध्य कुछ समय का अंतर जरुर हो। मौसमी खाने का सही समय मौसमी का सेवन हमेशा दोपहर के समय करें कहीं बाहर धूप में जाने से पहले या बाद में भी इसका सेवन बहुत ही अच्छा होता है। सेब खाने का समय सुबह सेब का सेवन बहुत ही उचित माना जाता है। अगर आप सुबह खाली पेट सेब का सेवन करते हो तो इससे शरीर के टोक्सिन आसानी से बाहर निकल जाते हैं। तरबूज का सेवन आप दिन में किसी भी समय कर सकते हो। लेकिन इस बात को ध्यान में जरुर रखें कि जब भी आप तरबूज का सेवन करते हो तो उसके बाद एक घंटे तक आप पानी से दूरी बनाएं रखें। फलों से जुडी हुई अन्य जानकारी जब भी आप सुबह सो कर उठते हो तो कभी भी खाली पेट खट्टे फलों का सेवन नहीं करना चाहिए। शराब का सेवन करने के बाद कभी भी खट्टे फल नहीं खाने चाहिए। भोजन के दो घंटे बाद ही हमेशा फल खाने चाहिए। जो लोग सोरायसिस की समस्या से गुजरे हुए हो। उन लोगों में फल का सेवन करने से दोवारा यह समस्या उत्पन्न हो सकती है। खासकर संतरा और अंगूर का सेवन उन्हें बिल्कुल ही नहीं करना चाहिए।
राष्ट्र्गान का सम्मान हमारा कर्तब्य | हिमधारा राष्ट्र्गान का सम्मान हमारा कर्तब्य ०८/०२/२०१७ | फाइल्ड अन्डर: विविध | पोस्टेड बाय: जगदीश बाली ३० नवंबर को देश की सर्वोच्च अदादल्त की दो सदस्यों वाली न्यायपीठ ने आदेश दिया कि देश के सभी सिनेमा घरों में किसी भी फ़ीचर फ़िल्म दिखाए जाने से पहले राष्ट्र गान चलाना होगा और साथ ही पर्दे पर तिरंगे को फ़हराते हुए दिखाना होगा। हॉल में उपस्थित सभी लोगों को खड़े हो कर राष्ट्रगान को सम्मन देना होगा। इस दौरान हॉल के दरवाज़े बंद रखने होंगे। एक याचिका के प्रत्युत्तर में ९ दिसंबर को सर्वोच्च अदालत ने अपने इस आदेश को निरस्त तो नहीं किया, परन्तु शारीरिक रूप से खड़े रहने में असमर्थ व्यक्ति को खड़े न होने से छूट ज़रूर दी। हालांकि अदालत ने स्पष्ट किया कि ऐसे असमर्थ व्यक्ति को इस दौरान इस तरह से पेश आना होगा जो किसी तरह से राष्ट्र गान का अपमान न लगे। २०११ में उपहार आग त्रासदी मामले में दिये फ़ैसले के संबंध में न्यायपीठ ने स्पष्ट किया कि दरवाजा बंद रखने का मतलब ये नहीं कि इसमें पूरी तरह से कुंडा लगा दिया जाए। इसका मक्सद केवल राष्ट्रगान के दौरान लोगों की आवाजाही को रोकना है। आपको स्मरण होगा कि ३ जून 1९९7 की शाम नई दिल्ली के ग्रीन पार्क स्थित उपहार सिनेमाहॉल में आग लग गयी थी जिसमें 5९ लोग झुलसकर या दम घुटने से मर गए थे जिसके संदर्भ में २०११ में सर्वोच्च अदालत ने सिनेमा घरों के दरवाज़े बंद न रखे जाने के आदेश दिये थे। सर्वोच्च अदालत के इस फ़ैसले से कुछ बुद्धिजिवी इतफ़ाक नहीं रखते। वे मानते हैं कि यह फ़ैसला तंग राष्ट्रवादी सोच की ओर ईशारा करता है और एक तरह से मौलिक आज़ादी को भी चोट पहुंचाता है। ये वो तबका है जो अधिकारों और आज़ादी की बात तो बढ़-चढ़ कर करता है, परन्तु जब कर्तब्य की बात आती है तो कनि काट जाते हैं। मैं कोई न्यायविद तो नहीं हूं, परन्तु इतना ज्ञान ज़रूर रखता हूं कि जिस संविशान ने हमें अधिकार और आज़ादी दी है, उसी संविधान ने हमारे कर्तब्यों का भी ज़िक्र किया है। राष्ट्र गान और राष्ट्र ध्वज का सम्मान उन कर्तब्यों की फ़ेहरिस्त में अव्वल पर आता है। क्या ये कर्तब्य केवल संविधान के किताबी पन्नों में दफ़न रखने के लिए हैं? राष्ट्र गान और राष्ट्र ध्वज के सम्मान का मतलब है आप राष्ट्र का सम्मान कर रहे हैं। राष्ट्र का सम्मान किसी भी तरह की आज़ादी से बढ़कर होता है। अगर देश का नागरिक इस बात के लिए तैयार नहीं तो अफ़सोस ही किया जा सकता है। इस फ़ैसले से इतफ़ाक न रखने वाले दलील देते हैं कि देश प्रेम की भावना नागरिकों के अंतर मन से आनी चाहिए। इस बात से मैं भी सहमत हूं, पर इस देश प्रेम की भावना को जागृत करना भी तो कोई अनुचित बात नहीं खास तौर से उस वक्त जब इसे भुलाया जा रहा है। यदि नहीं, तो कल आप ये भी तो कह सकते हैं कि न्याययालयों में ब्यान देने से पहले गीता पर हाथ रख कर सत्य बोलने की प्रतिज्ञा नहीं होनी चाहिए ल्योंकि सत्य और असत्य बोलना तो अंतर मन की बात है। वास्तव में गीता की सौगंध भी सत्य बोलने के लिए प्रेरित करती है। ऐसा नहीं है कि सरहद पर जाकर दुश्मन से टक्कर लेते हुए शहीद होने से ही अपनी देश भक्ति का परिचय दिया जा सकता हैं, पर इतना ज़रूर है कि देश की शान एवं गौरव के प्रतीक राष्ट्र गान को हम खड़े हो कर सम्मान तो दे ही सकते हैं और राष्ट्र ध्वज को सलाम कर हम जय हिंद तो कह ही सकते हैं। मैं ये तो नहीं कहता कि जो खड़े हो कर राष्ट्र गान का समम्मान नहीं करते, वे देश भक्त नहीं या वे जो खड़े होते हैं, केवल वही देश भक्त हैं, परन्तु जो खड़े नहीं होते वे चाहे अनचाहे राष्ट्र का अपमान का गुनाह ज़रूर करते हैं। कुछ लोग एक दलील ये भी देते हैं कि टैगोर ने जन गण मन किंग जोर्ज के सम्मान में लिखा था जिस वजह से इसलिए यह देश प्रेम की भावना का प्रतीक नहीं। परन्तु इस इल्ज़ाम से क्षुब्ध हो कर टैगोर ने अपने एक पत्र में इस का खंडन करते हुए कहा था: मैं केवल खुद को अपमानित ही करूंगा यदि मुझे उन लोगों को जवाब देना पड़े जो ये मानते हैं कि मैं किसी जॉर्ज चतुर्थ या पंचम की शान में गाउंगा। खैर इस विवाद पर अलग से बहस की जा सकती है। संविधन में इसे राष्ट्र गौरव का प्रतीक माना है, तो फ़िर संविधन की इस पवित्र डोर में बंधना ही होगा। नहीं तो आप कल ये भी कह सकते हैं कि तिरंगा इस लिए तंग राष्ट्रवाद का प्रतीक हैं क्योंकि इसमें केवल तीन ही रंग है। इस बात में संदेह नहीं कि जन गण मन आज़ादी के पहले से आज तक हमारे मन में राष्ट्र चेतना जगाता रहा है। कोई किसी से प्यार करता है या कोई किसी का सम्मान करता है, इस बात का पता हमें बात-चीत में इस्तमाल किए जाने वाले शब्दों और ब्यवहार से लगता है। राष्ट्रप्रेम या राष्ट्रसम्मान हमारी भावनाओं का वह अहम पहलू है जिसे दुनिया के सामने आना ही चाहिए अन्यथा कोई भी हमें कमज़ोर समझने लगेगा। राष्ट्र्गान का सम्मान राष्ट्रसम्मान की एक अभिवयक्ति है। स्कूलों या सिनेमाघरों में ही नहीं, बल्कि राष्ट्रगान हर महाविद्यालयों और विश्वविद्यालयों में भी नियमित रूप से गाया जाना चाहिए। राष्ट्र गान के सम्मान में खड़े होना चाहिए या नहीं, यह परीक्षा में पूछा जाने वाला बहु वैकल्पिक उत्तर वाला सवाल नहीं है। इसका एक ही जवाब है हां। राष्ट्र्गान का सम्मान सबसे अहम अदर्श है जिसका अनुसरण करने के लिए संविधान हमारा आहवान करता है। राष्ट्रकवि मैथिलीशरण गुप्त ने कहा है:

प्राचार्यों की वेतनवृद्धि पर रोक मामले में आयुक्त लोकशिक्षण को हाईकोर्ट का नोटिस, क्रियान्वयन पर स्टे / म्प एडउकेशन न्यूज होमेकर्मचारीप्राचार्यों की वेतनवृद्धि पर रोक मामले में आयुक्त लोकशिक्षण को हाईकोर्ट का नोटिस, क्रियान्वयन पर स्टे / म्प एडउकेशन न्यूज जबलपुर। जैसा कि विदित है मध्यप्रदेश के शासकीय विद्यालयों के प्राचार्यों को उनके विद्यालय के परीक्षा परिणाम के न्यून रहने को लेकर, संबंधित प्राचार्यों के विरुद्ध, असंचयी प्रभाव से वेतन वृद्धि रोकने जैसा, माइनर पनिशमेंट, आयुक्त लोकशिक्षण, भोपाल द्वारा अधिरोपित किया गया था। इसी क्रम में, श्रीमती सुनीता जैन, प्राचार्य शासकीय हाई स्कूल, ग्वालटोली, जिला सीहोर के विद्यालय का परीक्षा परिणाम कथित रूप से ३० प्रतिशत ,वर्ष २०१८-१९ में रहा। जबकि, राज्य का औसत परिणाम ६२.०५ रहा है। इस आधार पर की, विद्यालय के न्यून परीक्षा परिणाम के कारण, प्रदेश का परीक्षा परिणाम प्रभावित हुआ तथा स्कूल शिक्षा विभाग की छवि धूमिल हुई, आयुक्त लोक शिक्षण, भोपाल द्वारा, श्रीमती सुनीता जैन के विरुद्ध , मध्यप्रदेश सिविल सेवा( वर्गीकरण नियंत्रण तथा अपील) नियम१९66 के नियम १६ के तहत , असंचयी प्रभाव से दो वेतन वृद्धियां रोकने का आदेश दिनांक १९/१२/१९ को जारी किया गया था। श्रीमती सुनीता जैन, प्राचार्य ग्वालटोली द्वारा, आदेश दिनाँक से १९/१२/२०१९ को उच्च न्यायालय जबलपुर के समक्ष, नियम विरुद्ध होने कारण चुनौती दी गई थी। वीडियो कॉन्फ्रेंसिंग से हुई सुनवाई के पश्चात, उच्च न्यायालय ने दिनाँक २०/०७/२०२० को वेतन वृद्धि रोकने वाले आदेश को स्टे कर, आयुक्त लोकशिक्षण एवं अन्य को नोटिस जारी किया है। श्रीमती सुनीता जैन की तरफ़ से पैरवी करने वाले, उच्च न्यायालय, जबलपुर के वकील श्री अमित चतुर्वेदी के अनुसार, मध्यप्रदेश सिविल सेवा( वर्गीकरण नियंत्रण तथा अपील) नियम१९६६ के नियम १६ के अतिक्रमण में दंड का आदेश जारी किया गया था। नियम १६ के अनुसार सुनवाई का अवसर नहीं दिया गया था। चूँकि पनिशमेंट का आदेश बिना जाँच के किया गया था, उन परिस्थितियों मे यह उल्लेख करना जरूरी होता है कि दंड के पूर्व जाँच क्यों आवश्यक नही है। कारणों का लिखित उल्लेख किया जाना चाहिए। कर्मचारियों की ओर से आरोप का निषेध होने पर, जाँच भी होनी चाहिये। न्यायालय द्वारा, प्रथम दृष्टया, वेतन वृद्धि रोकने वाला आदेश दिनाँक १९/१२/20१९ को नियम विरुद्ध पाया गया है एवं क्रियान्वयन पर रोक लगायी गयी है।

कोलकाता। पश्चिम बंगाल के हावड़ा में कुछ डिलीवरी राइडर्स के हड़ताल पर चले जाने के बाद, उन्होंने आरोप लगाया कि उनसे कंपनी जबरन गोमांस और पोर्क के व्यंजन डिलीवर करा रही है। अब ज़ोमैटो के सीईओ दीपिंदर गोयल ने इस मामले पर सफाई दी है। उन्होने अपने कर्मचारियों को लिखे पत्र में कहा कि यह विरोध हाल ही में किए रेट कार्ड सुधार से जुड़ा हुआ है। मामला भोजन या धर्म नहीं से जुड़ा हुआ है। गोयल ने कहा कि हावड़ा के एक स्थानीय राजनेता के संपर्क में आने के बाद इस मुद्दे को जानबूझकर गलत दिशा दी गई है। वहींं प्रदर्शन के पीछे राजनीतिक शक्तियों का दखल होने की खबरें सामने आने लगी हैं। गोयल ने लिखे अपने पत्र में कहा है कि, हमने अपने ऑर्डर डेटाबेस को चैक किया है। उस पूरे क्षेत्र में पिछले तीन महीनों में ना तो पोर्क की डिलीवरी हुई है और ना ही किसी स्थानीय द्वारा पोर्क को कोई ऑर्डर दिया गया है। वहीं गोयल ने आगे लिखा कि, उनके पास बीफ डिलीवर करने का एक ऑर्डर आया था। जिसे ग्राहक ने पहुंचाने से पहले की कैंसल कर दिया। यह बीफ का एक मात्र ऑर्डर था। जबकि मैं आपको उस क्षेत्र के परिवारों द्वारा दिए गए ऑर्डर के बारे में फैक्ट दे सकता हूं। ज़ोमैटो ने अपनी कर्मचारियों को चेतावनी देते हुए कहा, यह बहुत साफ तौर पर कहा जा रहा है कि, डिलीवरी पार्टनर अपनी स्वेच्छा से कंपनी के साथ जुड़े हैं, उन्हें अपने इलाके में कस्टमर द्वारा जो भी खाने के ऑर्डर दिए जाएंगे, उन्हें वे पूरे करने होंगे। बता दें दरअसल इस विरोध की शुरुआत हाल ही जोमैटो द्वारा रेट कार्ड में किए गए सुधार के बाद शुरू हुआ था। गोयल ने पत्र में कहा, जब हम किसी शहर मे अपनी सेवाओं की शुरुआत करते हैं तो हम अपने डिलीवरी पार्टनर्स को प्रति ऑर्डर और प्रति दिन एक निश्चित भुगतान देते हैं। जो उन्हें प्रति सप्ताह / महीने में निश्चित आय प्रदान करता है। उन्होंने कहा कि, कुछ महीनों के बाद जैसा कि हमारे पास ऑर्डर अच्छी संख्या में आने लगते हैं और उनका काम अधिक कुशल हो जाता है। जिससे उनकी मासिक / साप्ताहिक आय बढ़ जाती है। तो हम अपने रेट कार्ड में सुधार करते हैं। गोयल ने कहा कि, रेट कार्ड सुधार एक नियमित प्रक्रिया है। कभी-कभी, कुछ डिलीवरी राइडर्स को रेट कार्ड सुधार को समझ नहीं पाते हैं तो वे बदलाव का विरोध करने लगते हैं।
इरफान खान ने ट्विटर पर लिखा, तब तक मेरे लिए दुआ करें मुंबई। ऐक्टर इरफान खान ने ट्विटर पर अपने एक गंभीर बीमारी की चपेट में आ जाने की खबर दी है। इरफान खान कई दिनों से काम से दूर हैं। कुछ दिन पहले उन्हें जॉन्डिस होने की खबर आई थी लेकिन अब उनका ट्वीट फैन्स में चिंता पैदा कर सकता है जिसमें उन्होंने अपनी बीमारी के बारे में बताया है। इरफान ने लिखा है, कभी-कभी आप एसे झटके के साथ उठते हैं कि आपकी जिंदगी आपको हिला कर रख देती है। मेरी जिंदगी के पिछले १५ दिन एक सस्पेंस स्टोरी की तरह रहे हैं। मुझे नहीं पता था कि दुर्लभ कहानियों की मेरी खोज मुझे एक दुर्लभ बीमारी तक पहुंचा देगी। मैंने कभी हार नहीं मानी है और हमेशा अपनी पसंद के लिए लड़ता आया हूं और आगे भी ऐसा ही करूंगा। मेरा परिवार और मेरे दोस्त मेरे साथ हैं हम सबसे अच्छे तरीके से इससे निपटने की कोशिश कर रहे हैं। तब तक आप लोग कृपया कुछ अंदाजा न लगाएं क्योंकि हफ्ते-दस दिन में जब सभी जांच के रिपोर्ट्स आ जाएंगे तब मैं खुद ही अपनी कहानी आपको बताऊंगा। तब तक मेरे लिए दुआ करें। कुछ दिन पहले ही इरफान खान को जॉन्डिस का पता चला था। इसके बाद डॉक्टर ने उन्हें आराम करने की सलाह दी थी। वह अपनी फिल्म ब्लैकमेल के प्रमोशन में हिस्सा नहीं ले पा रहे हैं। उनकी अन्य फिल्मों की शूटिंग भी रुकी हुई है। निदाहस ट्रॉफी के लिए टीम इंडिया का कल श्रीलंका से मैच आगरा: ताज महल के पास ड्रोन उड़ाते दो लोग हिरासत में फिल्म काबिल के लिये पहली पसंद नहीं थीं यामी गौतम

इंदौर: मध्य प्रदेश के इंदौर जिले में झूठी शान के नाम पर २१ वर्षीय नवविवाहिता की उसके नाबालिग भाई ने शनिवार को गोली मारकर हत्या कर दी. पुलिस के अनुविभागीय अधिकारी (एसडीओपी) रामकुमार राय ने कि इंदौर से करीब ३० किलोमीटर दूर एक गांव में लड़की को उसके १७ वर्षीय भाई ने गोली मार दी. उन्होंने बताया कि अपने भाई के हमले में बुरी तरह घायल नवविवाहिता को इंदौर के शासकीय महाराजा यशवंतराव चिकित्सालय ले जाया गया. जांच के बाद डॉक्टरों ने उसे मृत घोषित कर दिया. युवती ने किया था अलग जाति के युवक से विवाह राय ने बताया कि युवती ने अपने समुदाय से अलग जाति के एक युवक से करीब छह महीने पहले प्रेम विवाह किया था. आरोप है कि इस शादी से लड़की के परिजन नाराज थे और वे युवती के इस कदम को अपनी शान के खिलाफ मान रहे थे. उन्होंने कहा, 'लड़की और लड़का एक गांव के ही रहने वाले थे. लेकिन नवविवाहित जोड़ा शादी के बाद गांव से बाहर रहने चला गया था. यह जोड़ा शादी के बाद शनिवार को ही गांव लौटा था.' भाई ने बहन के सिर में मारी गोली एसडीओपी ने बताया कि युवती के नाबालिग भाई को नवविवाहित बहन के गांव लौटने की खबर मिली, तो वह कथित रूप से गुस्से में आग-बबूला होकर उसके घर पहुंचा और उसके सिर में गोली मार दी. उन्होंने बताया कि हत्याकांड के बाद आरोपी खुद ही थाने पहुंच गया. उससे पूछताछ के साथ मामले की विस्तृत जांच की जा रही है. अगली खबर ज़ियाओमी ने कम की इस पसंदीदा स्मार्टफोन की कीमत

यह पौराणिक महाकाव्य रामायण के अंदर वर्णित एक विमान हुआ करता था । इस विमान का प्रयोग लंका के राजा रावण करता था । सीता हरण के समय रावण ने इसी विमान का प्रयोग किया था । पुष्पक विमान की अनेक विशेषताएं थी । जिनकी चर्चा हम इस लेख के अंदर करने वाले हैं। रावण को मारने के बाद राम लक्ष्मण और विभिषण इसी विमान के अंदर अयोध्या आए थे । किसने बनाया था पुष्पक विमान पुष्पक विमान के कुछ विशेष गुण पुष्पक विमान मन की गति से उड़ता था यह भूमी पर भी चल सकता था पुष्पक विमान को छोटा बड़ा किया जा सकता था पुष्पक विमान की बनावट अफगानिस्तान में मिला महाभारतकालीन विमान वैसे इस विमान का निर्माण विश्वकर्मा ने ब्रह्मा के लिए किया था । लेकिन रावण के भाई कुबेर ने तपस्या करके इस विमान को प्राप्त कर लिया था ।पुष्पक विमान धन के देवता कुबेर के पास हुआ करता था । लेकिन रावण ने इस विमान को और कुबरे की नगरी लंका पुरी को बलपूर्वक छीन लिया था । पुष्पक विमान का निर्माण अंगिरा ऋषि ने किया था और इसकी सजावट को विश्वकर्मा के द्वारा किया गया था। प्राचीन ग्रंथों के अंदर ऐसे अनेक विमानों का उल्लेख मिलता है। विमान मुख्य रूप से दो प्रकार के होते थे । एक मानव द्वारा बनाए गए विमान जोकि आम होते थे । दूसरे विशेष विमान होते थे । जिनके अंदर कुछ खास ताकते मौजूद होती थी । प्राचीन ग्रंथों के अंदर कई तरह के विमानों के युद्वों का वर्णन भी मिलता है। पुष्पक विमान एक खास प्रकार का विमान हुआ करता था । जिसके अंदर कुछ खास ताकते मौजूद थी । आइए उन खास ताकतों के बारे मे भी इस लेख के अंदर चर्चा कर लेते हैं। पुष्पक विमान के बारे मे यह कहा जाता है कि यह मन की गति से उड़ता इसका स्वामी अपने मन से इस विमान को पूरी तरह से कंट्रोल कर सकता था । इसकी गति को मन से नियंत्रित किया जाता था । पुष्पक विमान के अंदर अनेक विशेषताएं थी । उनमे से एक थी कि वह आकाश के अंदर उड़ने के साथ साथ भूमी पर भी चल सकता था । यह एक गाड़ी की तरह भी काम आता था । पुष्पक विमान केवल एक आकार के अंदर ही नहीं रहता था । वरन उसका आकार भी बदल सकता था । वह विमान आवश्यकता अनुसार बड़ा और छोटा हो सकता था। और उस पर वजन को भी उस हिसाब से कम या ज्यादा किया जा सकता था । रावण के वध के उपरांत पुष्पक विमान को भगवान राम ने कुबेर को वापस लौटा दिया था । पुष्पक विमान की बनावट बहुत ही सुंदर थी यह जब आकाश के अंदर उड़ता था तो स्वर्ण मेघ के समान लगता था । इसके चारों और हीरे और सोना को जड़ा गया था ।इसके आगे एक हंस का चित्र बहुत ही सुंदर ढंग से कोरा गया था ।इस विमान के उपर हाथी के आकार को भी उकेरा गया था । जो देखने मे बहुत सुंदर लगता था ।यह विमान रावण के महल के पास खड़ा रहता था । जिसको देखकर एक बार तो हनुमानजी भी आश्चर्यचकित हो गए थे । पुष्पक विमान के अलावा रावण के पास अन्य कई विमान थे । लेकिन कोई भी विमान पुष्पक का मुकाबला नहीं कर सकता था । एक वेबसाईट की रिपोर्ट के मुताबिक अफगानिस्तान की एक गुफा के अंदर एक बहुत पुराना विमान मिला है। यह विमान बहुत पुराना है। यह ५००० साल पुराना विमान है। जोकि एक टाइम वेल के अंदर फंसा हुआ था । टाइमवेल एक विशेष प्रकार का इलेक्ट्रो मैग्नेटिक क्षेत्र होता जिसमे रहने वाली वस्तु सुरक्षित रहती है। और उसके पास जाने वाले हर इंसान गायब हो जाते हैं।रूसी रिपोर्ट दिसम्बर २०१० के अंदर पेश हुई थी जिसके अंदर यह कहा गया था कि विमान के ४ पहिये लगे हुए हैं। इसके अंदर कई सारे घातक हथियार लगे हुए थे । जिनका प्रयोग दुश्मनों पर हमला करने के लिए किया जाता था । जब कमांडों कुछ दूर से इस विमान का निरक्षण किया जा रहा था तो इसका टाइम वेल सक्रिय हो गया और कई कमांडो गायब हो गए । वैज्ञानिकों के मता अनुसार टाइम वेल एक सर्पिलाकार आकाश गंगा की तरह होता है। जिसके संपर्क के अंदर आते ही जानवर ऐसे गायब हो जाते हैं। जैसे थे ही नहीं अब तक यहां पर ४० जर्मन डॉक्स की भी मौत हो चुकी है। इससे पहले कुछ लोगों का दावा है कि चीनियों को संस्क्रत के अंदर कुछ दस्तावेज भी मिले थे । जिनको अनुवाद के लिए चंडीगढ भेजा गया था । उसके बारे मे यह कहा जाता है कि वे इस विमान से संबंधित हो सकते हैं। इंका संभ्यता के खंड़रों के अंदर कुछ ऐसे चित्र भी मिले हैं। जिन मे मनुष्य के उपर पंख दिखाए गए हैं।मध्य अमेरिका के अंदर कुछ ऐसे आक्रति मिले हैं जो विमानों से मिलती हैं। कुल मिलाकर ऐसा कहा जा सकता है की प्रचाीन लोग कुछ ऐसी चीजों के बारे मे जानते थे जो अब तक हम नहीं जानते । टैग्स:पुष्पक विमान, पुष्पक विमान किसने बनाया, पुष्पक विमान की जानकारी, पुष्पक विमान के रहस्य, पुष्प्क विमान इन अफगानिस्तान सोने की लंका किसने बनाई थी अब लंका कैसी दिखती है

(अक्टोबर २०१०) एक अनुमान के अनुसार हिंदुओं द्वारा पवित्र मानी जाने वाली नदी में बीस लाख लोग रोजाना धार्मिक स्नान करते हैं। हिन्दू धर्म में कहा जाता है कि यह नदी भगवान विष्णु के कमल चरणों से (वैष्णवों की मान्यता) अथवा शिव की जटाओं से (शैवों की मान्यता) बहती है। इस नदी के आध्यात्मिक और धार्मिक महत्व की तुलना प्राचीन मिस्र वासियों के लिए नील नदी के महत्त्व से की जा सकती है। जबकि गंगा को पवित्र माना जाता है, वहीं पारिस्थितिकी तंत्र से संबंधित इसकी कुछ समस्याएं भी हैं। यह रासायनिक कचरे, नाली के पानी और मानव व पशुओं की लाशों के अवशेषों से भरी हुई है और गंदे पानी में सीधे नहाने से (उदाहरण के लिए बिल्हारज़ियासिस संक्रमण) अथवा इसका जल पीने से (फेकल-मौखिक मार्ग से) स्वास्थ्य संबंधी बड़े खतरे हैं। १ २ गंगा कार्य योजना इस सेक्शन में विकिपीडिया के गुणवत्ता मापदंडों पर खरे उतरने के लिए सफ़ाई की आवश्यकता है। कृपया इस सेक्शन को सुधारने में यदि आप सहकार्य कर सकते है तो अवश्य करें। इसके संवाद पृष्ठ पर कुछ सलाह मिल सकती है। (मार्च २००९) नदी में प्रदूषण भार को कम करने के लिए १९८५ में श्री राजीव गांधी द्वारा गंगा कार्य योजना या गैप (गप) का शुभारंभ किया गया था। कार्यक्रम खूब धूमधाम के साथ शुरू किया गया था, लेकिन यह १५ वर्ष की अवधि में ९०१.७१ करोड़ (लगभग १०१०) रुपये व्यय करने के बाद नदी में प्रदूषण का स्तर कम करने में विफल रहा। १९८५ में शुरू किए गए जीएपी चरण १ की गतिविधियों को 3१ मार्च २००० को बंद घोषित कर दिया गया। राष्ट्रीय नदी संरक्षण प्राधिकरण की परिचालन समिति ने गैप (गप) की प्रगति और गैप (गप) चरण १ से से सीखे गए सबकों तथा प्राप्त अनुभवों के आधार पर आवश्यक सुधारों की समीक्षा की; इस योजना के अंतर्गत २.०० योजनाएं पूरी हो चुकी हैं। दस लाख लीटर मलजल को रोकने, हटाने और उपचारित करने का लक्ष्य है। वीर भद्र मिश्र अर्नेस्ट हैन्बरी हैंकिन जुलियन क्रैन्डल हौलिक द्वारा बैक्ट्रियोफेगेस के स्वयं-शुद्धि के प्रभाव, ऑक्सीजन प्रतिधारण रहस्य: मिस्ट्री फैक्टर्स गिव्स गैन्जेज़ अ क्लीन रेप्युटेशन. नैशनल पब्लिक रेडियो. इको फ्रेंड्स गैन्जेज़ कंज़र्वेशन " से लिया गया श्रेणियाँ: विकिपीड़िया आर्टिक्ल्स नीडिंग रेव्राइट फ्र्म अक्टोबर २०१०वागु और अंबिगुस टाइम अक्टोबर २०१०लेख जिनमें अक्टोबर २०१० से द्मी तिथि फोरमत प्रयोग करने की आवशकता हैगंगा नदीभारत में जल प्रदूषणहरिद्वारकानपुरइलाहाबादवाराणसीछुपी हुई श्रेणियाँ: साँचे में अमान्य तिथि प्राचल वाले लेखसुधार योग्य सभी लेखलेख जिन्हें मार्च २००९ से सफ़ाई की आवश्यकता हैसभी लेख जिन्हें सफ़ाई की आवश्यकता है दिक्चालन सूची भोजपुरीइंग्लिश कड़ी संपादित करें अन्तिम परिवर्तन ०६:५४, ७ अप्रैल 201७।
होम आत्म विकास आत्मविश्वास बढ़ाने के ८ असरदार तरीके आइये जानते हैं आत्मविश्वास बढ़ाने के ८ असरदार तरीके। आत्मविश्वास यानी खुद पर भरोसा रखना ये, सिर्फ एक शब्द नहीं है बल्कि हर सफल व्यक्ति के पीछे की हकीकत है। सफलता पाने के लिए जितनी जरुरत हमारी योग्यता की होती है उतनी ही जरुरत हम में आत्मविश्वास की भी होती है। अगर हमारे अंदर आत्मविश्वास की कमी है तो हम योग्यता होते हुए भी निराश और हताश हो जाते है और सफल नहीं हो पाते। अगर आप भी सफल होना चाहते हैं तो खुद में आत्मविश्वास जगाना बहुत जरुरी है और आइये आपको बताते हैं आत्मविश्वास बढ़ाने के ८ असरदार तरीके। १. कपड़े पहनने का तरीका बदलें आपके कपडे पहनने का तरीका आपका आत्मविश्वास बताता है। कपडे वही पहनें जो आप पर सही लगें। जगह के हिसाब से कपडे चुनें, अगर आप ऑफिस में या किसी मीटिंग में जा रहे हों तो फॉर्मल कपडे पहनें और अगर आप किसी पार्टी या शादी में जा रहे हों तो पार्टी के अनुसार ही कपड़े पहने। अगर आपका ड्रेसिंग सेंस बेहतर होगा तो लोग आपकी तारीफ करेंगे और आपका आत्मविश्वास बढ़ेगा। २. आत्मविश्वास से भरे लोगों की आदतें अपनाएं आपने अक्सर अपने आस पास ऐसे लोग देखे होंगे जो आत्मविश्वास से भरे होते हैं वो कभी अपना मत रखने में हिचकिचाते नहीं है। आप ऐसे लोगों को देखें और उनकी आदतें अपनाएं। जैसे क्लास या सेमीनार में आगे की सीट पर बैठना, बेझिझक सवाल पूछना, वो किस तरह चलते और बोलते हैं वो अपनाना, कभी दबी आवाज में ना बोलना और हमेशा दूसरों से नजरें मिला कर बात करना। ३. छोटे-छोटे लक्ष्य बनायें अपने जीवन में छोटे छोटे लक्ष्य बनाएं क्योंकि छोटे लक्ष्य आसानी से हासिल हो सकते हैं और जैसे जैसे ये लक्ष्य हासिल होते जायेंगे आप में आत्मविश्वास बढ़ेगा। अगर आप एक बड़ा लक्ष्य बनाएंगे तो उसे पाने में बहुत समय लगेगा और बीच में कई असफलताएं और मुश्किलें आयेंगी जिनसे आप हताश हो जायेंगे और आप में आत्मविश्वास की कमी होने लगेगी। इससे बेहतर है आप अपने बड़े लक्ष्य को छोटे छोटे लक्ष्यों में तब्दील करें। ४. अपनी उपलब्धियों को याद करें हमेशा सकारात्मक रहें और हमेशा अपने अतीत की उपलब्धियों को याद करें ना की अपने अतीत की नाकामियों को सोचकर दुखी हो वरना ऐसे में आप में नकारात्मकता बढ़ेगी और आत्मविश्वास में कमी आएगी। इसलिए हमेशा अपनी उपलब्धियों को याद करें और खुद को प्रेरित करते रहें। ५. अपनी गलतियों से डरें नहीं गलतियां किये बिना कोई काम सफल नहीं होता गलतियां सभी करते हैं लेकिन सफल लोग उन गलतियों से सीख लेकर आगे बढ़ते हैं और जो लोग अपनी गलतियों से डरकर हताश हो जाते हैं वो कभी सफल नहीं हो पाते। इसलिए कभी अपनी गलतियों से डरें नहीं बल्कि उन गलतियों से सीख लें और उन्हें अनुभव के तौर पर लेकर आगे बढ़ें इससे आप के अंदर नयी ऊर्जा का संचार होगा और आत्मविश्वास बढ़ेगा। ६. जोखिम लेने से ना डरें किसी काम में सफल होने के लिए जोखिम लेना बहुत जरुरी है जब तक आप जोखिम लेकर किसी काम की शुरुआत नहीं करेंगे तब तक आपको अपनी क्षमता और उपलब्धियों के बारे में पता नहीं चलेगा। कोई काम करने के लिए जोखिम उठाने से ना डरें और अपनी सोच सकारात्मक बनायें क्योंकि अगर आप उसमे सफल ना भी हुए तो कम से कम आपको उससे सबक तो मिलेगा और भविष्य में आप वो गलतियां नहीं दोहराएंगे। ७. आत्मविश्वास के लिए अंग्रेजी आना जरुरी नहीं अक्सर हम लोग अपना आत्मविश्वास इसलिए खो देते हैं क्योंकि हमे अंग्रेजी भाषा नहीं आती लेकिन ये सही नहीं है। आत्मविश्वास के लिए अंग्रेजी भाषा का ज्ञान ही जरुरी नहीं है। उदाहरण के तौर पर आप हमारे प्रधानमन्त्री नरेंद्र मोदी जी को देख सकते हैं वो हमेशा आत्मविश्वास से भरे रहते है जबकि वो विदेश में भी अपने ज्यादातर भाषण हिंदी में ही देते हैं। ८. आत्मविश्वास के लिए किसी काम को टालें नहीं कभी भी किसी नए काम की शुरआत करने के लिए आलस ना करें और उसे कल पर ना टालें क्योंकि ऐसा ना हो की आप उस काम की शुरआत करने में देर कर दें और उससे मिलने वाले परिणामों से वंचित रह जाएँ। ऐसे में आप में निराशा भर जाएगी और आप अपना आत्मविश्वास खो देंगे। उम्मीद है जागरूक पर आत्मविश्वास बढ़ाने के ८ असरदार तरीके कि ये जानकारी आपको पसंद आयी होगी और आपके लिए फायदेमंद भी साबित होगी। यात्रा के समय का सही उपयोग कैसे करें? अच्छी नींद के लिए अपनाएं ये घरेलू नुस्खे स्वस्थ आँखों के लिए इन बातों का ख्याल रखें
एल्कदतल बॉक्स ऑफिस: दूसरे दिन इतना बढ़ा फिल्म का बिजनेस सोनम कपूर, अनिल कपूर, राजकुमार राव और जूही चावला जैसे सितारों से सजी फिल्म एक लड़की को देखा तो ऐसा लगा पहले दिन बॉक्स ऑफिस पर कुछ खास कमाल नहीं दिखा सकी. सोनम कपूर, अनिल कपूर, राजकुमार राव और जूही चावला जैसे सितारों से सजी फिल्म एक लड़की को देखा तो ऐसा लगा पहले दिन बॉक्स ऑफिस पर कुछ खास कमाल नहीं दिखा सकी. तकरीबन ३५ करोड़ रुपये के बजट से बनी यह फिल्म पहले दिन में महज ३ करोड़ ३0 लाख रुपये की कमाई कर सकी. दूसरे दिन फिल्म के बिजनेस में ४०.९१ प्रतिशत का उछाल देखने को मिला. दूसरे दिन ४ करोड़ ६५ लाख रुपये की कमाई करने के बाद फिल्म का अब तक का कुल बिजनेस ७ करोड़ ९५ लाख हो गया है. फिल्म की कमाई के आंकड़े ट्रेड एनालिस्ट तरण आदर्श ने अपने वैरिफाइड ट्विटर हैंडल से जारी किए हैं. कहा यह भी जा रहा है कि समलैंगिक रिश्तों की थीम पर बनी फिल्में बॉक्स ऑफिस पर क्योंकि कुछ खास कमाल नहीं दिखा पाती हैं. उस लिहाज से इस कलेक्शन को ठीक-ठाक माना जा सकता है. पहले दिन के बिजनेस एनालिसिस की बात करें तो सुबह के शो ठंडे रहे जबकि शाम के शोज में फुटफॉल बढ़ता नजर आया. अरबन थिएटर्स में बेहतर रही कमाई- ट्रेड विशेषज्ञों की मानें तो फिल्म को अरबन इलाकों में ज्यादा बिजनेस मिला है. फिल्म को कुल १५०० स्क्रीन्स पर रिलीज किया गया है. हालांकि बावजूद इसके इसे वो स्पेस नहीं मिल पा रहा है जितना मिलने की उम्मीद की जा रही थी. मणिकर्णिका से मिल रही टक्कर- फिल्म के बिजनेस को कंगना रनौत की फिल्म मणिकर्णिका से टक्कर मिल रही है. कंगना की फिल्म बॉक्स ऑफिस पर काबिज है और दर्शकों को अपनी ओर ज्यादा आकर्षित कर रही है. इस पीरियड ड्रामा फिल्म का विषय और कहानी जाहिर तौर पर दर्शकों को ज्यादा कनेक्ट करने में कामयाब है. इसके अलावा उरी और सिंबा जैसी फिल्में भी स्क्रीन्स पर हैं जो सोनम की फिल्म के बिजनेस को प्रभावित कर रही हैं. शादी के बाद कपिल पर कैसे छाया गिन्नी इफेक्ट, जूही ने बताया थे कपिल शर्मा शो कॉमेडी किंग कपिल शर्मा के शो पर रविवार रात मेहमान बनकर आई फिल्म एक लड़की को देखा तो ऐसा लगा की स्टा ... बता दें कि शाहरुख खान का बर्थडे स्पेशल होने जा रहा है. शाहरुख जन्मदिन मनाने के साथ-साथ अपनी फिल्म जीरो का ट्रेलर भी लॉन्च कर ... सलमान खान कब शादी करेंगे ये सवाल के इंतजार में बॉलीवुड सेलेब्स के साथ दबंग खान के फैन भी हैं. लेकिन ये कम लोग ही जानते हैं ...
धोनी-गावस्कर पर बरसे गुहा, कुंबले का किया बचाव - बैक हिंदी धोनी-गावस्कर पर बरसे गुहा, कुंबले का किया बचाव प्रसिद्ध इतिहासकार रामचंद्र गुहा ने बीसीसीआई की प्रशासक समिति से इस्तीफ़ा देते हुए पूर्व कप्तान महेंद्र सिंह धोनी और सुनील गावस्कर को अनैतिक आधार पर लाभ पहुंचाए जाने की कड़ी आलोचना की है. गुहा ने प्रशासक समिति के प्रमुख विनोद राय को दिए अपने इस्तीफ़े में उन कारणों का जिक्र किया है जिनके चलते उन्होंने सुप्रीम कोर्ट द्वारा गठित प्रशासक समिति से अलग होने का फैसला किया है. पढ़ें - कोहली की कुंबले से पटती नहीं है क्या? पढ़ें: 'मैदान में धोनी हों, तो आप उनके सपोर्टर बन जाते हैं'धोनी को ए ग्रेड का कॉन्ट्रैक्ट क्यों?गुहा ने अपने इस्तीफ़े में कहा है कि पूर्व कप्तान महेंद्र सिंह धोनी के साथ ए श्रेणी का अनुबंध क्यों किया गया जबकि उन्होंने खुद को टेस्ट क्रिकेट से अलग कर लिया है. उन्होंने कहा कि यह फैसला एक गलत संदेश भेजता है. गावस्कर की कमेंट्री पर भी सवालगुहा ने गावस्कर की कमेंटेटर होने पर सवाल उठाते हुए कहा है कि गावस्कर खिलाड़ियों का प्रतिनिधित्व करने वाली कंपनी के मुखिया हैं और बीसीसीआई टीवी के कमेंट्री पैनल में भी है. उन्होंने कहा है कि ऐसे में उन्हीं खिलाड़ियों पर कमेंट्री करना कॉन्फिल्क्ट ऑफ इंटरेस्ट का मामला है, ऐसे में उन्हें दोनों में से एक पद से इस्तीफ़ा देना चाहिए. पढ़ें - 'धमकी देना बीसीसीआई को शोभा नहीं देता'उन्होंने साफ शब्दों में कहा है कि बीसीसीआई में सुपरस्टार खिलाड़ी के प्रभाव की वजह से कॉन्ट्रैक्ट प्रभावित होते हैं, कमेंटेटर से लेकर कोच के चयन प्रभावित होते हैं. कुंबले के साथ गलत व्यवहार क्यों?कुंबले का बचाव करते हुए गुहा ने कहा है कि कुंबले की कोचिंग में टीम इंडिया का प्रदर्शन बेहतर रहा है लेकिन इसके बावजूद कुंबले के भविष्य को अधर में रखा गया और इसके बाद इस पोस्ट के चयन प्रक्रिया की बात सामने आई. वे कहते हैं कि योग्यता और न्याय आधारित प्रक्रिया में कुंबले का कार्यकाल बढ़ सकता था. इमेज कॉपीरइट गुहा ने इसके साथ ही अपने स्थान पर एक पूर्व क्रिकेटर के तौर पर जवागल श्रीनाथ को प्रशासकों की समिति में रखने की सिफारिश भी की है. गुहा ने कहा था कि वह निजी कारणों से सीओए से हट रहे हैं, लेकिन अपने पत्र में उन्होंने भारतीय क्रिकेट के कर्ताधर्ताओं से कई सवाल किए हैं. उन्होंने कोच और यहां तक कि कमेंटेटर पैनल की नियुक्ति जैसे महत्वपूर्ण मसलों पर कोहली की 'वीटो शक्ति' पर सीधे सवाल उठाया है.(बीबीसी हिन्दी के एंड्रॉएड ऐप के लिए आप यहां क्लिक कर सकते हैं. आप हमें फ़ेसबुक और ट्विटर पर फ़ॉलो भी कर सकते हैं.)
सेल फोन उद्योग के बारे में सब सेल फोन उद्योग आज बड़े संचार उद्योग में सबसे तेजी से बढ़ता क्षेत्र है। अभी, इंटरनेट उन उद्योगों में से एक है जो विश्व स्तर पर सबसे बड़ी संख्या में लोगों द्वारा उपयोग किए जा रहे हैं। सेल फोन उद्योग मुख्य रूप से मोबाइल फोन हैंडसेट सहित मोबाइल फोन के निर्माण में लगा हुआ है। अब तक, सेल फोन उद्योग पूरी तरह से तकनीकी रूप से आगे बढ़ने पर केंद्रित है। यह दुनिया में सबसे तेजी से आगे बढ़ने वाले उद्योगों में से एक है, जो आने वाले प्रौद्योगिकियों और नवाचारों के साथ-साथ बढ़ रहा है, "स्मार्टफोन" और अन्य फोन सुविधा और हाल के वर्षों में किए गए क्षेत्रों की प्रगति पर निर्माण कर रहा है। यह केवल १९९४ के बाद से सेल फोन बहुत अधिक लोकप्रिय होने लगा है। वास्तव में, इन उत्पादों का उपयोग उस समय से २४ मिलियन तक बढ़ गया, जब से आज यूएस में १८२ मिलियन उपयोगकर्ता हैं। सैमसंग और एचटीसी जैसी कंपनियों के माध्यम से अमेरिका में हाल के वर्षों में बड़े स्क्रीन वाले स्मार्टफोन उपलब्ध कराए गए हैं। २०१५ में, आपोल ने ४.७- और ५.५-इंच स्क्रीन वाले स्मार्टफोन पेश किए, जिन्हें 'फेबलेट्स' के नाम से जाना जाता है। बाजार में इफोन ६ और इफोन ६+ के प्रवेश ने इस दिशा में उनके पक्ष में गति बढ़ा दी है, और ये उत्पाद अब अमेरिकी स्मार्टफोन बाजार का 8४% हिस्सा है। सांस्कृतिक धारणाओं के बावजूद जो सेलफोन को पश्चिमी दुनिया के साथ जोड़ते हैं, वे वास्तव में आज दुनिया के लगभग हर कोने में पाए जा सकते हैं। वास्तव में, कई विकासशील देशों में, सेल फोन केवल बाहरी दुनिया के लिए उपयोग हैं, और एटीएम जैसे पैसे के लेन-देन का संचालन करने, इंटरनेट का उपयोग करने और व्यावसायिक आदेश रखने के लिए एक साधन के रूप में उपयोग किया जाता है, यहां तक कि उन जगहों पर भी जहां आधुनिक सुविधाएं जैसे जनता के लिए उपलब्ध पानी और बिजली आसानी से उपलब्ध नहीं हैं। यह सिर्फ सेल फोन की तकनीक नहीं है जो हाल के समय में बदल गई है। उनके भौतिक डिजाइन भी परिवर्तन और बदलाव के कई रोलरकोस्टर से गुजरे हैं। उन्होंने आकार, आकार और वजन में परिवर्तन करते हुए, अपने थोकपन को काफी कम कर दिया है। अब, सेल फोन अभी भी चिकना हो रहे हैं, जिससे उनके उपयोगकर्ता उन्हें ले जाने में बहुत सहज महसूस करते हैं। शोधकर्ताओं के अनुसार, यह माना जाता है कि, भविष्य में, सेल फोन हमारी जैविक सजगता और प्रक्रियाओं के साथ तालमेल बनाने में सक्षम होंगे, जैसे कि आंख की गतिविधियां, विचार प्रक्रिया, और कीनेस्टेटिक आंदोलनों, और यहां तक कि सांस्कृतिक प्राथमिकताएं भी। सेल फोन कई व्यक्तियों के जीवन का एक हिस्सा बन गए हैं, जिसके बिना वे खोए हुए महसूस करेंगे। तकनीकी रूप से, यह कहा गया है कि सेलफोन मानव जाति के लिए सबसे बड़ा उपहार है। १९ वीं शताब्दी के बाद से विभिन्न रूपों में फोन उपलब्ध हैं। हालांकि, जैसा कि शोधकर्ताओं ने अगली शताब्दी के दौरान विभिन्न प्रकार के फोन की खोज की, १९५6 में एरिक्सन कंपनी ने स्वीडन में "एमटीए" नामक एक पूरी तरह से स्वचालित, सेलुलर, फोन प्रणाली जारी की। यह गैजेट काफी भारी था, इसलिए उपयोगकर्ता इसे लंबे समय तक लेने के लिए खुश नहीं थे, क्योंकि इस मोबाइल फोन का वजन लगभग ४० किलोग्राम (८८ पाउंड) था! बाद में, इस अवधारणा का एक बेहतर संस्करण १९6५ में सामने आया, और इसे "एमटीबी" के रूप में जाना गया। १९66 में, "रत्ज - १०" नामक एक मोबाइल फोन पेश किया गया था। सेलुलर फोन के क्षेत्र में आगे के विकास पर, १९71 में फिनलैंड में "ज़ीरो जेनरेशन" मोबाइल नेटवर्क के रूप में जाना जाने वाला सबसे पहला वाणिज्यिक सेलुलर फोन पेश किया गया था। बाद में, वर्ष १९73 में, मोटोरोला को पेश किया गया था, जिसमें ५ की चौड़ाई और ९ की लंबाई थी, और एक प्रबंधनीय २.९ल्ब्स का वजन था। धीरे-धीरे, समय बीतने के साथ, मोबाइल फोन ने छलांग और सीमा में सुधार किया और, मोबाइल संचार के लिए ग्लोबल सिस्टम की शुरुआत के साथ, सेलुलर फोन सिस्टम में रेडियो स्पेक्ट्रोम्स का प्रभावी ढंग से उपयोग किया जा सका। अमेरिका में सेल फोन के लिए विनियामक जिम्मेदारियां संघीय संचार आयोग (फक) के साथ हैं, जो प्रमाणित करता है कि ये वायरलेस डिवाइस, और सभी फोन जो यूएस में बेचे जाते हैं, उन्हें उन दिशानिर्देशों का पालन करना चाहिए जो उन्होंने किले को निर्धारित किया है। एफसीसी एफडीए और अन्य स्वास्थ्य एजेंसियों पर निर्भर करता है ताकि यह सुनिश्चित किया जा सके कि सेलफोन उपयोगकर्ताओं और पर्यावरण के लिए सुरक्षित हैं। संभावित रूप से एक अंतरराष्ट्रीय परिप्रेक्ष्य से वायरलेस संचार के संपर्क के कारण होने वाले प्रभावों में कई हानिकारक स्वास्थ्य प्रभाव शामिल हो सकते हैं। वायरलेस प्रौद्योगिकियों, जैविक अनुसंधान, विकास मानकों, और दूरसंचार उपकरणों की सुरक्षा से संबंधित संभावनाओं के क्षेत्र में उभरती हुई नई सफलताओं का उपयोग सभी सेल फोन को सुरक्षित और अधिक उपयोगी बनाने के लिए किया जा रहा है।

ईद के मौके पर सलमान खान की भारत से सीधे टक्कर लेने आ रही है खेसारी लाल और पवन सिंह की ये फिल्में ईद के मौके पर आज जहां सलमान खान की 'भारत' रिलीज हुई, वहीं खेसारी लाल की फिल्म कुली नो.१ और पवन सिंह की फिल्म 'मैंने उनको सजन चुन लिया' भी रिलीज हो गई। यहां जानें दोनों फिल्मों में क्या है खास... हर साल ईद का जश्न मुस्लिमों के लिए बड़ा ही ख़ास होता है जिसकी एक वजह सलमान खान की फ़िल्मों का रिलीज़ होना भी है। सबके भाईजान सलमान अपने फैंस के लिए हर ईद एक खूबसूरत फ़िल्म ईदी के रूप में लाते हैं और कई सौ करोड़ की कलेक्शन कर ले जाते हैं। इस साल उनकी फिल्म भारत आ रही है जो देशभक्ति और एक्शन से भरपूर है। उनको टक्कर देने के लिए भोजपुरी सिनेमा के त्रिमूर्ति में से दो सुपरस्टार अपना कमर कस चुके हैं। खेसारीलाल यादव अपने भोजपुरिया फैन्स के लिए लेकर आ रहे हैं काजल राघवानी के साथ कूली नम्बर १ और पवन सिंह ला रहे हैं अपनी बहुप्रतिक्षित भोजपुरी फ़िल्म मैंने उनको सजन चुन लिया। दोनों भोजपुरी फिल्मों की ख़ास बात है कि दोनों की हिरोइन हैं काजल राघवानी। काजल की जोड़ी इन दोनों सुपरस्टार्स के साथ काफी हिट रही है और दर्शकों का भरपूर प्यार इन्हें मिलता रहा है। अब देखना ये है कि सलमान ख़ान की फ़िल्म भारत के सामने ये दोनों भोजपुरी फ़िल्में कितना मुक़ाबला कर पाती हैं। आपको बता दें कि कूली नम्बर १ भारत के ही जैसे पूरे देश मे रिलीज़ हो रही है जबकि पवन सिंह की फ़िल्म केवल बिहार और झारखंड में रिलीज़ हो रही है। कहानी की बात करें तो भारत का ट्रेलर देख कर ये तो पक्का हो गया है कि इसमें सलमान अलग अलग गेटअप में दिखेंगे। फ़िल्म में कई टाइम पीरियड भी दिखाए गए हैं। फ़िल्म में भारत और गल्फ देशों का लोकेशन दिखाया गया है। खेसारी लाल की 'कूली नो. १' की ये है रही खास बात बात अगर कूली नम्बर १ की हो तो फिल्म में खेसारीलाल अच्छे परिवार से हैं लेकिन एक बार जब वह वृद्धाश्रम आते हैं तो यहीं के हो जाते हैं। उनके पीछे उनकी प्रेमिका का रोल कर रहीं काजल राघवानी भी चली आती हैं। क्लाइमेक्स के बाद वह वृद्धाश्रम स्कूल में बदल जाता है और वहां रहने वाले बुज़ुर्ग अपने घर लौट जाते हैं। यह सब कैसे होता है और खेसारीलाल इस वृद्धाश्रम की ज़मीन पर कब्ज़ा करने वाले गुंडों से कैसे निपटते हैं यह फिल्म में देखने को मिलेगा। 'मैंने उनको सजन चुन लिया' में दिखेगा पवन सिंह का जलवा पवन सिंह की फ़िल्म मैंने उनको सजन चुन लिया की कहानी एक प्रेमी की है जो अपनी प्रेमिका के लिए पूरी दुनिया से लड़ने को तैयार है और वह कैसे उसके खूंखार भाई, चाचा और बाप से लड़ कर अपना प्यार पाता है यही फ़िल्म का थीम है। तीनों फ़िल्में क्या कमाल दिखाती हैं ये तो इस सप्ताह के अंत तक पता चल जाएगा। बहरहाल, खेसारीलाल यादव भी सलमान खान के जैसे चैरिटी करते हैं। एक रिपोर्ट के अनुसार वह सभी धर्म और जाति के ६२ बच्चों की पढ़ाई का ख़र्चा उठाते हैं और उनपर हर महीने लगभग तीन लाख रुपये खरचते हैं। खेसारी हर महीने वृद्धाश्रम में भी जाकर बुज़ुर्गों से मिलते हैं और उनके लिए फल मिठाइयाँ आदि ले जाते हैं। यह सुपरस्टार्स की दरियादिली है कि उनको जैसे भगवान छप्पर फाड़ के देता है वैसे ही वो भी ज़रूरतमंदों पर लुटाते हैं। दर्शकों को लिए यह ईद का त्योहार सच में काफी मनोरंजक होने वाला है उन्हें सलमान खान के साथ पवन सिंह और खेसारी लाल यादव की भी फ़िल्में देखने को मिलेंगी।
सुदर्शन क्रिया से छात्रों के मानसिक स्वास्थ्य में सुधार, येल यूनिवर्सिटी का शोध बेंगलुरु। अमेरिका की प्रतिष्ठित येल यूनिवर्सिटी के शोधकर्ताओं के द्वारा किए गए एक महत्वपूर्ण अध्ययन से यह पता चला है कि जिन कॉलेज विद्यार्थियों ने सुदर्शन क्रिया श्वसन तकनीक का अभ्यास किया, उनके स्वास्थ्य के छः मुख्य क्षेत्रों- अवसाद, तनाव, मानसिक स्वास्थ्य, सचेतन अवस्था, सकारात्मक प्रभाव और सामाजिक जुड़ाव में सुधार देखा गया। फ्रंटियर्स इन साईकिएट्री में रिपोर्ट किए गए और येल यूनिवर्सिटी की वेबसाइट पर उल्लिखित किए गए जांच के परिणामों में यह कहा गया है कि कठिन परिस्थितियों से उबरने के लिए ऐसे प्रशिक्षण कार्यक्रम यूनिवर्सिटी कैंपस में विद्यार्थियों के मानसिक स्वास्थ्य पर आए संकट को दूर करने में एक महत्वपूर्ण उपकरण साबित हुए हैं। इस उच्च स्तर के अध्ययन का निर्देशन येल चाइल्ड स्टडी सेंटर एंड येल सेंटर फॉर इमोशनल इंटेलिजेंस, येल यूनिवर्सिटी,सेंटर फॉर कंपैशन एंड अल्ट्रूज्म रिसर्च एंड एजुकेशन, स्टैनफोर्ड यूनिवर्सिटी, लेपजिग यूनिवर्सिटी, लेपजिग, जर्मनी, येल स्कूल ऑफ मैनेजमेंट, येल यूनिवर्सिटी एंड मेडिकल रिसर्च काउंसिल कोग्निशन एंड ब्रेन साइंसेज यूनिट, यूनिवर्सिटी ऑफ कैंब्रिज के शोधकर्ताओं के द्वारा किया गया। इस महामारी के चलते, जब मानसिक स्वास्थ्य की बात आती है, तो भविष्य को लेकर अनिश्चितताओं, बढ़ते विरोध और वैश्विक तनाव के कारण स्थिति और भी खराब हुई है और एक विशेष आयु समूह के युवा इसकी चपेट में आए हैं। यादृच्छिक नियंत्रित परीक्षण में, येल चाइल्ड स्टडी सेंटर एंड येल सेंटर फॉर इमोशनल इंटेलिजेंस की शोध टीम ने क्लासरूम में हुए तीन वैलनेस ट्रेनिंग प्रोग्राम के आधार पर मूल्यांकन किया। इन सभी प्रोग्राम्स में श्वसन एवं भावनात्मक बुद्धिमत्ता रणनीति शामिल थीं। इन प्रोग्राम्स का परीक्षण ४ हफ्तों तक १३५ अंडरग्रैजुएट विद्यार्थियों पर किया गया और परिणामों कि तुलना उन नियंत्रित अंडरग्रैजुएट विद्यार्थियों के समूह से की गई, जिन्होंने इन तीनों प्रोग्राम्स में से एक भी प्रोग्राम में हिस्सा नहीं लिया था। शोधकर्ताओं ने बताया कि नियंत्रित समूह की तुलना में एस के वाई कैंपस हैप्पीनेस ने बहुत अच्छे सुधार को दर्शाया। उन विद्यार्थियों को अवसाद, तनाव, सचेतन अवस्था, सकारात्मक प्रभाव और सामाजिक जुड़ाव जैसी छः स्थितियों में मदद मिली। आर्ट ऑफ लिविंग का एस के वाई कैंपस हैप्पीनेस प्रोग्राम एक श्वसन तकनीक पर आधारित है, जिसे एस के वाई (सुदर्शन क्रिया योग) कहा जाता है। इसमें श्वसन ध्यान, योगासन, सामाजिक जुड़ाव और सेवा कार्य शामिल हैं। एम्मा सेप्पाला, येल स्कूल ऑफ मैनेजमेंट में वूमेंस लीडरशिप प्रोग्राम की फैकल्टी डायरेक्टर और प्रमुख लेखिका ने यह बताया, "शैक्षिक कुशलताओं के साथ - साथ हमें विद्यार्थियों को यह भी सिखाने की आवश्यकता है कि एक संतुलित जीवन किस प्रकार से जिया जाए। पिछले १० वर्षों में विद्यार्थियों का मानसिक स्वास्थ्य खराब हुआ है।" सुदर्शन क्रिया एक शक्तिशाली लयबद्ध श्वसन तकनीक है, जो आर्ट ऑफ लिविंग के कार्यक्रमों में सिखाई जाती है, जो जीवकोषीय स्तर पर तनाव और भावनात्मक विष को दूर करती है। शोध यह दर्शाता है कि यह तकनीक नींद के चक्र को सुधारने, हैप्पी और फील गुड हार्मोन्स, जैसे- ऑक्सीटोसिन के स्राव को सुधारने, तनाव उत्पन्न करने वाले हार्मोन्स, जैसे- कॉर्टिसोल के स्राव को कम करने, सजगता को बढ़ाने और चिकित्सीय अवसाद लक्षणों को कम करने में मदद करती है। अमेरिका का संगीन आरोप, चीनी हैकर चुरा रहे हैं कोरोना वैक्सीन रिसर्च की जानकारियां ईत, आईम्स के शोध का दावा, मानसून-सर्दियों में कोरोना पहुंच सकता है अपने चरम पर

नींद में चलने की बीमारी - भारतकोश, ज्ञान का हिन्दी महासागर नींद में चलता रोगी नींद में चलना (अंग्रेज़ी: सोमनाम्बुलिस) अर्थात् स्लीपवाकिंग एक विचित्र प्रकार की गंभीर मनोवैज्ञानिक बीमारी है जो कि कुछ ही लोगों में पायी जाती है। जिसे सोमनाबुलिज्म (सोमनाम्बुलिस) या स्लीपिंग डिसऑर्डर भी कहा जाता है। इस रोग में रोगी नींद में ही चलने लगता है। इस बीमारी से ग्रसित रोगी रात में नींद से उठकर अपने बिस्तर से चलता है और एक जागे हुए मनुष्य की तरह विभिन्न कार्य को आसानी से कर देता है। उसे पता ही नहीं चलता कि वो रात को क्या कर रहा था। जब रोगी ऐसा कर रहा होता है तब वे अर्धजागृत अवस्था में होता है, लेकिन फिर से सो जाने के बाद जब वह सुबह जागता है तो उसे अपने द्वारा नींद में किए गए कार्य याद नहीं रहते। यह एक विचित्र बीमारी है जो कि स्नायुविक गड़बड़ी से होती है। नींद में चलना एक विकार है। आंकड़ों के अनुसार इससे भारत के लगभग चौदह प्रतिशत किशोर इस रोग से पीड़ित होते है। मनोवैज्ञानिकों के अनुसार ४ से ८ वर्ष के बच्चों में सोमनाबुलिज्म की समस्या ज़्यादा देखने को मिलती है। स्लीपवाकिंग स्कूल जाने वाली उम्र के बच्चों में आम रूप से होता है। एक अध्ययन से पता चला है की लगभग १५% तक बच्चे जो कि ५ से १२ साल की उम्र के हैं वो अपनी नींद में कम से कम एक बार चलते हैं। लड़कियों की अपेक्षा लड़कों में नींद में चलने की बीमारी ज़्यादा पाई जाती है। बार बार स्लीपवाकिंग पुरुषों में आम होती है और बिस्तर में पेशाब करने के साथ होती है। नींद में चलना एक मस्तिष्क रोग के साथ-साथ नींद का भी विकार है। यह तंत्रिका-तंत्र का मस्तिष्क विकार है। उदाहरण के लिए जैसे- जब हम जागृत अवस्था में होते हैं तो मस्तिष्क भी पूर्णतः जागृत अवस्था में होता है, परंतु नींद में चलने वालों के मस्तिष्क का एक हिस्सा तो गतिशील रहता है जबकि दूसरा हिस्सा सुप्त अवस्था में रहता है, जिसके कारण वे नींद में भी उठ कर चलने लगते है। लेकिन यह अवस्था ज़्यादा देर नहीं रहती, सिर्फ उतनी देर ही रहती है जब बच्चा चल रहा होता है। बच्चे नींद में क्यों चलते हैं?

होम सिनेमा रीजनल सिनेमा प्रसून जोशी के कार्यकाल की पहली फिल्म पर सेंसर बोर्ड ने लगाया... मुम्बई। संस्कारी सैंसरशिप के लिए फेमस सेंसरबोर्ड के पूर्व अध्यक्ष पहलाज निहलानी का कार्यकाल समाप्त होने के बाद फिल्म इंडस्ट्री में चर्चा थी की अब फिल्मों के सर्टिफिकेशन में दिक्कत नही आएगी। इसके विपरीत नवनियुक्त अध्यक्ष प्रसून जोशी के आने के बाद सैंसर बोर्ड ने सर्टिफिकेशन के लिए आई पहली पंजाबी फिल्म तूफान सिंह को क्रूर और हिंसात्मक कंटेंट के चलते बैन कर दिया है साथ ही इंडस्ट्री को संकेत दे दिया है कि राहे इतनी भी आसान नही है। जोशी का यह फैसला मेकर्स के लिए सैटबैक साबित हो सकता है। जानकारी के अनुसार बाघेल सिंह के निर्देशन में बनी पंजाबी फिल्म तूफान सिंह में रणजीत बावा लीड रोल निभा रहे है जो देश के सिस्टम और राजनीति में फैले भ्रष्टाचार को मिटाने के लिए आतंकवादी गतिविधियों का सहारा लेता है। फिल्म के क्रूर और हिंसात्मक कंटेंट को देखते हुए सेंसर बोर्ड ने सर्टिफिकेट देने से इंकार करते हुए फिल्म को बैन कर दिया है। सूत्रों से प्राप्त जानकारी के अनुसार फिल्म में तूफान सिंह एक आंतकवादी का किरदार अदा करते हुए भ्रष्ट नेताओं और प्रशासनिक अधिकारियों की निर्मम हत्या करता है। साथ ही फिल्म में तूफान सिंह को भगतसिंह के तुल्य दिखाने का प्रयास किया है। फिल्म बेहद क्रूर और अराजक है। बोर्ड ने इस प्रकार के क्रूरता का संदेश देने वाली इस फिल्म को रीलीज किया जाना उचित नही माना है अत: फिल्म को बैन कर दिया गया है। आपको बता दे कि यह पंजाबी फिल्म तूफान सिंह गत ४ अगस्त को ओवरसीज में रीलीज की जा चुकी है। बोर्ड के फैसले के बाद भारत में फिल्म अधर झूल में लटकी नजर आ रही है। प्रेवियस आर्टियलसोनी टीवी के शो हासिल का टीजर जारी, जायेद खान करेगें छोटे पर्दे पर डेब्यू नेक्स्ट आर्टियलदूसरे हफ्ते भी धमाल मचाए है अक्षय कुमार की टॉयलेट वाली प्रेमकथा

जोर से नाक साफ करने से हो सकता है खतरा जागरूक टाइम्स ३०० जुल २७, २०१८ क्या आप जानते हैं कि ज़्यादा ज़ोर से नाक साफ करने से आपको बड़ा नुकसान भी हो सकता है? गत दिनों एक ऐसा हादसा हुआ जिसमें एक ब्रिटिश महिला ने अपनी नाक इतनी ज़ोर से साफ की कि उसकी आई सॉकिट यानी आंख की थैली की हड्डी टूट गई। नाक साफ करने के लिए जो फोर्स लगाई गई वह इतनी ज़्यादा थी कि उस महिला को ऑर्बिटल ब्लोआउट फ्रैक्चर हो गया। मतलब यह है कि आई सॉकिट में जो एक पतली सी हड्डी होती है उसमें फ्रैक्चर हो गया। इस घटना को बीएमजे केस की रिपोर्ट्स में भी पब्लिश किया गया। इतना ही नहीं, इसके कुछ देर बाद उस महिला की दोनों आंखों की रोशनी भी चली गई। दो घंटे बाद उसकी नाक से खून आने लगा और उसकी बांई आंख के पास की स्किन पर भी सूजन आ गई। एक फैक्टर यह भी हो सकता है कि नाक साफ करते वक्त उस महिला ने अपना एक नथुना बंद कर लिया होगा, जोकि अक्सर कई लोग करते हैं। इसकी वजह से दोगुना प्रैशर पैदा हो जाता है जो खतरनाक होता है। इसके अलावा अगर किसी की आई सॉकिट की हड्डियां कमज़ोर हैं, तो उसमें ऐसा हादसा होने के चांस ज़्यादा होते हैं। एक्सपर्ट्स के मुताबिक, नाक साफ करने के दौरान कई बार ज़्यादा फोर्स लग जाती है, लेकिन इस दौरान आई सॉकिट की हड्डी टूट जाए, यह काफी कम ही होता है, लेकिन यहां एक बात ध्यान देने वाली है कि यह महिला धूम्रपान करती थी और रोज़ाना एक पैकिट पी लेती थी। अब स्मोकिंग करने से एक इंसान के साइनस यानी नासुरों में प्रैशर बदल जाता है। यह साइनस आई सॉकिट्स के पास ही मौजूद होता है और इसीलिए फ्रैक्चर होने के चांस बढ़ जाते हैं।
आयुष्मान भारत योजना में वंचित लोगों को भी मिले स्वास्थ्य बीमा का लाभ: सांसद सी.पी.जोशी जयपुर/नई दिल्ली। चित्तौड़गढ़ सांसद सी.पी.जोशी ने लोकसभा में सदन की कार्यवाही में भाग लेते हुये शुन्यकाल के दौरान आयुष्मान भारत योजना में वंचित लोगों को भी इसमें शामिल किये जाने का विषय रखा। सांसद जोशी ने बताया कि १ अप्रेल 20१8 से भारत सरकार के द्वारा गरीब लोगों के परिवारों के लिये चिकित्सा सुविधा उपलब्ध कराने हेतु आयुष्मान भारत योजनान्तर्गत ५ लाख रुपए तक का कैशलेस स्वास्थ्य बीमा उपलब्ध कराया गया हैं। इस योजना से देश की ५0 करोड़ से अधिक आबादी को जोड़ा गया है, इसके साथ ही इस श्रेणी में आने वाले लोग इस योजना से लाभान्वित हो रहे है। सांसद जोशी ने आग्रह किया कि इस योजना से वंचित लगभग ८० करोड़ देशवासियों के लिये भी कोई विकल्प उपलब्ध कराया जाना चाहिये जिसमें इच्छुक व्यक्ति निश्चित प्रीमियम राशि जमा करवाकर कैशलेस स्वास्थ्य बीमा का लाभ उठा सकें। वर्तमान में जितने भी निजी हेल्थ बीमा जो उपलब्ध है, उनकी प्रीमियम राशि काफी अधिक हैं तथा उनकी क्लेम प्रक्रिया भी काफी जटिल हैं, जिस कारण बीमा राशि का क्लेम लेने में भी काफी परेशानियों का सामना करना पड़ता है। यदि वंचित वर्ग को सशुल्क आयुष्मान योजना से जुड़ने का मौका मिलता हैं तो यह राशि इस वर्ग के लिये वहन करने योग्य होगी। इससे राजकोष पर अतिरिक्त भार भी नही पड़ेगा तथा शेष वंचित लोगों को भी इस योजना का लाभ मिल सकेगा। सांसद जोशी ने सदन के माध्यम से सरकार से आग्रह किया कि देश के मध्यम वर्ग एवं पर्याप्त चिकित्सा सुविधा तथा बीमा लाभ से वंचित समस्त लोगों को स्वास्थ्य बीमा योजना का लाभ दिलाए।

प्रयोग... कोरोना वायरस के संक्रमण को देखते हुए राज्य सरकार द्वारा द एपिडेमिक डिजीज एक्ट के तहत प्रदत्त शक्तियों का प्रयोग करते हुए लॉकडाउन का आदेश दिया है। जनता कर्फ्यू के दूसरे दिन से ही जिले में लॉकडाउन के आदेश की उड़ रही धज्जियों को देखते हुए पुलिस के स्तर से अनुपालन में अब काफी सख्ती बरती जा रही है। पुलिस के स्तर से बरती जा रही सख्ती की चपेट में प्रतिबंध से मुक्त रखे गए अनिवार्य व इमरजेंसी सेवा क्षेत्र से जुड़े लोग भी आ रहे हैं। इस स्थिति के कारण खाद्यान्न एवं स्वास्थ्य सेवाएं प्रभावित होने की आशंका को देखते हुए जिला प्रशासन ने पुलिस एवं प्रशासनिक पदाधिकारियों के लिए स्पष्ट गाइडलाइन जारी किया है। नहीं रोका जाना है आवश्यक व आकस्मिक सेवाओं से जुड़े लोग व वाहनों को कोरोना वायरस के फैलाव को रोकने के लिए पीएम ने लॉक डाउन की अवधि अगले २१ दिन विस्तारित कर दिया है। लॉक डाउन के दौरान

स्वास्थ्य विभाग की ओर से कोरोना वायरस के संदिग्धों की जांच करने की प्रक्रिया से खासे चिंतित नजर आ रहे है। स्वास्थ्य विभाग की कार्यशैली से लोगों में दहशत का माहौल है। लालगंज रेफरल अस्पताल में कोरोना वायरस के संदिग्धों की स्क्रीनिंग की जगह सिर्फ मौखिक पूछताछ करने की जा रही है। डॉक्टर आम बीमारी के तरह ही लोगों से पूछताछ कर रहे है। स्थानीय लोगों का कहना है कि बिना किसी मशीन से स्क्रीनिंग किए बिना कोरोना वायरस के संक्रमण का पता लगाना मुश्किल ही नहीं बल्कि नामुमकिन है। कई बार डर के कारण मरीज पूछताछ के दौरान डॉक्टर से सही जानकारी छिपा लेते हैं। साथ ही लंबी इलाज के डर से झूठी जानकारी देकर डॉक्टर से बच निकलते है। डॉक्टर भी अन्य राज्यों से आने वाले प्रवासियों से मामूली पूछताछ करने के बाद घर जाने की इजाजत दे रहे हैं। डॉक्टर की इस रवैया से स्थानीय लोगों में कोरोना वायरस के संक्रमण फैलने का डर सताने लगा है। लालगंज रेफरल अस्पताल के प्रभारी चिकित्सा पदाधिकारी डॉ. शशिभूषण प्रसाद ने बताया कि खुद की सुरक्षा को ध्यान रखते हुए एक मीटर की दूरी बनाकर डॉक्टर संदिग्ध प्रवासियों से पूछताछ कर रहे है। प्रवासियों में कोरोना वायरस के संक्रमण का लक्षण नहीं पाए जाने पर उन्हें घर जाने दिया जा रहा है। उन्होंने बताया कि स्वास्थ्य विभाग की ओर से संदिग्धों की जांच के लिए स्क्रीनिंग मशीन उपलब्ध नहीं कराया गया है। प्रवासियों से डॉक्टर मौखिक पूछताछ कर कोरोना वायरस का संक्रमण नहीं होने की बात बताकर घर जाने की इजाजत दे रहे हैं। कोरोना वायरस के संक्रमण से बचाव के लिए विधायक प्रेमा चौधरी ने की अपने मद से ३६ लाख रुपए की आर्थिक मदद करने की घोषणा पातेपुर| पातेपुर विधानसभा क्षेत्र में कोरोना वायरस के संक्रमण को रोकने के लिए विधायक प्रेमा चौधरी ने अपने विधायक मद से ३६ लाख रुपए की आर्थिक मदद करने की घोषणा की है। इसके लिए विधायक प्रेमा चौधरी ने जिला योजना पदाधिकारी को पत्र लिखकर आवश्यक कार्रवाई करने की बात कही है। बताया कि कोरोना वायरस के संक्रमण से बचाव का एक मात्र उपाय सोशल डिस्टेंस ही है। उन्होंने जनता से घरों में रहने की अपील की है। अधिक जरूरत होने पर ही सावधानी से घराें से निकलने की सलाह दी है। सदर अस्पताल में बनाया गया कंट्रोल रूम। यह दिया गया आदेश पहला | सभी आवश्यक वस्तु यथा खाद्यान्न आटा-चावल,

इसराइल के प्रधान मंत्री ने नमस्ते करने को कहा दुनिया को - येस विराल नो होम धर्म इसराइल के प्रधान मंत्री ने नमस्ते करने को कहा दुनिया को इसराइल के प्रधान मंत्री ने नमस्ते करने को कहा दुनिया को कोरोना वायरस का असर पूरी दुनिया में दिख रहा है। इसके कई नए मामले सामने आये हैं। दुनियाभर में कोरोना वायरस से अब तक ३,२०० लोगों से ज्यादा की मौत हो चुकी है। इसको रोकने के लिए हर संभव प्रयास किये जा रहे हैं।इजरायल के प्रधानमंत्री बेंजामिन नेतन्याहू ने अपने देशवासियों से कहा है कि जानलेवा कोरोना वायरस को रोकने के लिए आप लोग हाथ मिलाने की बजाय भारतीयों की तरह नमस्ते करिए। पीएम नेतन्याहू ने कोरोना वायरस को लेकर मीटिंग करने के बाद नमस्ते करने की सलाह दी है। उन्होंने यह भी कहा है कि कोरोना वायरस को रोकने के लिए कई कदम उठाए जाएंगे, लेकिन कुछ साधारण तरीके अपनाकर भी इसको काफी हद तक रोका जा सकता है। इससे बचने के लिए लोगों को हाथ मिलाने की बजाय नमस्ते करना चाहिए।आप को बता दें कि यह कोरोना वायरस बिल्कुल सर्दी-खांसी की तरह ही एक व्यक्ति से दूसरे व्यक्ति तक फैलता है। अगर कोई व्यक्ति छींकता या खांसता है तो हवा के जरिए फ्लू के वायरस दूसरे सामने वाले व्यक्ति तक पहुंचते हैं। भारतीय संस्कृति में कभी भी हाथ नहीं मिलाया जाता है बल्कि हाथ जोड़ आर नमस्ते की जाती है ,इसके पीछे विज्ञानं भी है अक्सर लोग तरह तरह की बीमारी से पीड़ित होते है .परन्तु जब हम हाथ मिलाते है तो ये फ़ैल जाता है इसलिए अगर हम नमस्ते करे तो बहुत से इन्फेक्शन से बच सकते है .तो आइये आज से हम हाथ नहीं मिलायेंगे नमस्ते करेंगे . प्रेवियस आर्टियलअनिल कपूर ने बेटी रिया का जनम दिन मनाया ,जनम दिन तस्वीर देखिये नेक्स्ट आर्टियलमेकप से कैसे बॉलीवुड वाले उम र को छुपा लेते है घर में आसानी से मिलने वाले इन खाद्य पदार्थों से बढ़ाए... ब्रश करने के बाद भी मुंह से बदबू आती है तो...
हिन्दी न्यूज: पांच साल में भी जल आवर्धन योजना को चालू नहीं पांच साल में भी जल आवर्धन योजना को चालू नहीं पांच साल में भी जल आवर्धन योजना को चालू नहीं कर पाई नगर परिषद, परेशान हो रहे नागरिक भास्कर संवाददाता | खिलचीपुर ... पांच साल में भी जल आवर्धन योजना को चालू नहीं कर पाई नगर परिषद, परेशान हो रहे नागरिक गर्मी की शुरूआत के साथ ही नगर में जल संकट ने पैर पसार लिए हैं। वर्षों से चली आ रही पानी की समस्या के प्रति जनप्रतिनिधियों सहित प्रशासन समस्या का हल नहीं कर पाया है। नागरिकों को इस विकट समस्या का निदान करने में कोई रुची नहीं है। इसके चलते अधिकांश वार्डों के लोग पानी के स्रोतों की तलाश में भटक रहे हैं। गर्मी शुरू होते ही अधिकांश स्थानों के पेयजल स्रोत समय से पहले ही दम तोड़ रहे हैं। जिससे रहवासियों की मुसीबतें और अधिक बढ़ रही हैं। वहीं नगर परिषद भी पर्याप्त और शुद्ध पानी उपलब्ध नहीं करा पा रही है। इस कारण लोग इधर-उधर पानी की जुगत में भटकते नजर आ रहे हैं। इसमें अधिक समस्या वार्ड नंबर चार व पांच के रहवासियों को उठाना पड़ रही है। मार्च माह से ही पानी के लिए दो से तीन किमी दूर से पानी लाना पड़ रहा है। पांच साल में चालू नहीं हुई योजना शासन द्वारा करोड़ों रुपए की मुख्यमंत्री जल आवर्धन योजना स्वीकृत की गई थी। जिस पर तीन साल से काम चल रहा है, लेकिन उसका काम पूरा नहीं किया जा सका है। अब तक बगा फत्तूखेड़ी से बैराज से नगर में पाइप लाइन लाई गई है, लेकिन उसे चालू नहीं किया गया है। इस कारण जान जोखिम में डालकर बालक-बालिकाओं सहित लोग नेशनल हाईवे को पार कर पानी लाते हैं। जो कभी भी दुर्घटना का कारण बन सकते हैं। दो-तीन किमी दूर से पानी ला रहे लोग : नगर में नागरिकों के लिए पानी के स्रोत भी नहीं हैं। हैंडपंप और ट्यूबवेल हैं, वह भी दम तोड़ रहे हैं। गर्मी अपने शबाब पर आने से पहले ही हिचकोले मारने लगे हैं। इससे लोगों को पर्याप्त पानी नहीं मिल रहा है। लोग कुएं-बावड़ियों पर निर्भर हैं, लेकिन इनमें भी पानी सूखने की कगार पर है। ऐसे में लोग निजी जल स्रोत ट्यूबवेलों के भरोसे हैं। तालाब स्थित जल कुएं, छोटे महाराज स्थित कुएं और क्षीर सागर का कुएं। इन तीनों कुओं से लोग पानी की जुटा रहे हैं। इसके अलावा फलौदी लॉज की ट्यूबवेल व कुएं, तोपखाना गेट पर राजा बोहरा की ट्यूबवेल से नागरिक पानी की जुगत कर रहे हैं। यहां से पानी भरने के लिए एक से तीन किमी की दूरी तय करना पड़ती है। लेकिन प्रशासन द्वारा कोई सार्थक कदम नहीं उठाए जा रहे हैं। वेब तितले: पांच साल में भी जल आवर्धन योजना को चालू नहीं

बैठक होल्डिंग के लिए १४ टिप्स मनोवैज्ञानिक निदान: खतरनाक, वांछनीय, या दोनों? सहानुभूति के बारे में मेरे दो पिछली पोस्ट के बारे में कई लोगों ने मुझे लिखा है मुझे अपने पाठकों को याद दिलाने दो कि मेरा विषय इस विषय पर चर्चा करने के लिए मेरे ब्लॉग को शुरू करने का इरादा नहीं था। यह द न्यू यॉर्क टाइम्स की गड़बड़ी को प्रकाशित करने के लिए गलती थी जिसमें कहा गया था कि छोटे बच्चों के स्वार्थी जानवर किसी भी इंसान की शक्ल में असमर्थ थे, ताकि समाजीकरण का असर इस तरह के बिच्छू प्राणियों को सौंपने के लिए किया गया। मेरी सहानुभूति का आह्वान सबसे पहले, यह दिखाने का एक प्रयास था कि टाइम्स के लेखक का बच्चा बच्चा था, क्योंकि युवा बच्चों अविश्वसनीय रूप से प्रबल हैं, वास्तव में मेरे अनुभव में, अक्सर वयस्कों की तुलना में बहुत अधिक। लेकिन फिर मैंने अपनी गर्दन को रोक दिया और कहा कि बच्चों को एक तस्वीर की किताब पर चर्चा करने से मुझे कुछ पता चलता है: यह सहानुभूति सब कुछ नहीं है, हमें पर्याप्त नैतिक सिद्धांत के आधार पर सहानुभूति की अपेक्षा अधिक आवश्यकता है। मेरी गर्दन आगे भी निकल गई, लेकिन मुझे यहां रोक दें, क्योंकि इसकी गंभीर क्षति के लिए विस्तारित पर्याप्त है देखो, सहानुभूति वास्तव में महत्वपूर्ण है और यह सबसे महत्वपूर्ण चीजों में से एक है जिसे हम बच्चों को "पढ़ा सकते हैं" लेकिन जब हम ऐसा करते हैं, हम उन्हें यह महसूस करने के लिए नहीं सिखा रहे हैं, लेकिन सहानुभूति के अपने प्राकृतिक चक्र को विस्तारित करने के लिए हम सब, मेरा मानना है, सहानुभूति का एक प्राकृतिक चक्र, अर्थात, जिनके भाग्य के लिए हम स्वाभाविक रूप से संवेदनशील हैं, जीवों का एक समूह है। खुशहाली परिवारों में टॉल्स्टॉय ने अनिवार्य रूप से उबाऊ के रूप में निंदा की, सहानुभूति अपने सभी सदस्यों से अपने सभी सदस्यों तक फैली हुई है यह है, क्योंकि टॉल्स्टॉय ने भी सुझाव दिया है, अक्सर देखा नहीं, यहां तक कि एक परिवार के रूप में भी छोटी इकाई के रूप में, सहानुभूति सार्वभौमिक रूप से विस्तारित नहीं हो सकती है। अपने खुद के परिवार का जन्म लें। कारणों से मैं अपने आप को समझने में सक्षम नहीं हूं और अपने आप में बहुत दर्द महसूस कर रहा हूं, मेरे भाई ने मुझे सहानुभूति के प्राकृतिक चक्र के अंदर शामिल नहीं किया है मनोवैज्ञानिकों ने "भाई प्रतिद्वंद्विता" शब्द का आविष्कार किया है जिससे कि यह निहितार्थ की विफलता स्वाभाविक लगता है, या, किसी भी स्थिति में, एक शर्त। लेकिन तथ्य यह है कि मेरे भाई ने मेरे साथ व्यवहार किया है कि वह किसी अजनबी का इलाज नहीं करेगा और संभवत: एक दुश्मन भी नहीं होगा मैं उसे नहीं लाता क्योंकि वह असाधारण है, बल्कि इसलिए कि मुझे डर है कि वह बहुत सामान्य है, इसलिए सहानुभूति का प्राकृतिक चक्र बहुत दूर तक नहीं फैलता है। धर्म के महान संत, और मैं विशेष रूप से यीशु के बारे में सोच रहा हूं, सभी के लिए सहानुभूति महसूस करने में सक्षम होने के बावजूद उन्होंने जो कुछ किया था, जो उन्हें चोट पहुंचाते थे। यह एक आदर्श है कि हमें धार्मिक आदमियों और संस्थाओं द्वारा काम करने के लिए आग्रह किया गया है: "अपने पड़ोसी को अपने जैसा प्यार करो।" अच्छा शब्द। बहुत ज्यादा करने की संभावना नहीं है लोगों के प्रति प्राकृतिक सहानुभूति बढ़ाने के काम के लिए, जो पहले से स्वाभाविक रूप से संवेदनशील नहीं था, शिक्षा की महान, मुश्किल उपलब्धियों में से एक है। मुझे आश्चर्य है कि जेम्स एजी ने शुरू में सोचा था कि उन्हें अलबामा जाने के लिए और तीन किरायेदारों के परिवारों के जीवन को कवर करने के लिए सौंपा गया था। मुझे संदेह है कि हार्वर्ड शिक्षित लेखक सहानुभूति के साथ भरी काम पर चला गया यह उन लोगों के बारे में कुछ था जिनसे वे सामना कर रहे थे, जिनकी वजह से आयुसे की आकस्मिक क्षमता को प्रभावित करने वाली स्थिति में सबसे अधिक घिनौने परिस्थितियों में गरिमा और स्व-मूल्य की भावना पैदा करने में सक्षम थे, जिसने उन ४३२ पन्नों के नैतिक आक्रोश को मंथन किया था, जिसमें वे उन गरीब लोगों के लिए सहानुभूति का अनुभव करने के लिए अपने सभी पाठकों को पाने की उम्मीद कर रहे थे। एजी ने मानवता को देखने के लिए आया था जो कि दोनों आर्थिक और सामाजिक स्थितियों के विलुप्त होने के कारण धमकी दी थी कि किरायेदार किसानों का सामना करना पड़ा और फिर भी वे अपने जीवन में खुद को जबरदस्ती कर रहे थे क्योंकि उन्होंने अपनी गरिमा को बनाए रखने की कोशिश की, उनका आत्म-मूल्य आप ग्रामीण अलबामा की यात्रा करने के लिए अपने आप को अधिक संवेदनशील होने के लिए धक्का करने के लिए नहीं है जब आप पेपर पढ़ते हैं और दुनिया के कुछ इलाके के बारे में एक लेख से गुजारना शुरू करते हैं, तो आप मामलों या किसी मुद्दे को नहीं सोचते हैं, जो आपके सामने आती हैं, इन कहानियों में रुचि की आपकी अभ्यस्त कमी न दें । गहरा गहराइए और देखें कि क्या कहानी के कुछ पहलू नहीं हैं जो आपको पकड़ लेता है, जिससे आपको लोगों को एक संवेदनशील तरीके से लिखा जा रहा है। या एक ऐसी फिल्म पर जाएं जिसे आपको लगता है कि आप नफरत करेंगे ईरान के बुद्धिजीवियों की दुर्दशा के बारे में एक फिल्म कहें कुछ अमेरिकियों ने उन चीजों की सूची में उच्च स्थान नहीं लगाया है जिन पर उन्हें अधिक सहानुभूति व्यतीत करना चाहिए। एक पृथक्करण , जो केवल एक साल पहले दिखाया गया था, मुझे देखते हैं कि शिक्षित व्यक्ति होने के लिए कितना मुश्किल होना चाहिए जिसका अर्थ है कि एक पश्चिमी व्यक्ति उस देश में। लेकिन यह आसान हिस्सा है: क्योंकि हम पश्चिमी ईरानियों में खुद को देखते हैं और स्वाभाविक रूप से उन्हें सहानुभूति देते हैं क्या फिल्म ने केवल उम्मीद के मुकाबले आगे बढ़ाया, जिस तरह से वह धार्मिक मुस्लिम आदमी को अपनी सहानुभूति का विस्तार करने में सक्षम था, जिसे हम एक ऐसी दुनिया में अपनी गरिमा बनाए रखने की कोशिश कर रहे हैं जो कि उनकी प्राकृतिक नहीं है। तो मैं क्या कह रहा हूं कि मैंने पहले कई तरह से सहानुभूति दी थी और यह दुर्भाग्यपूर्ण था क्योंकि ऐसा लगता है कि कुछ पाठकों को विमुख कर दिया है। अब, मुझे यह आशा है कि मुझे सहानुभूति है और विशेष रूप

ऋषभ पंत को वेस्टइंडीज दौरे में मिली जगह, वर्ल्ड कप टीम में नहीं हुआ था चयन भारतीय बल्लेबाज ऋषभ पंत को वेस्टइंडीज-ए दौरे के लिए वन-डे टीम में जगह मिली है। ये दौरा ११ जुलाई से शुरू होगा। वेस्टइंडीज-ए के खिलाफ चार दिवसीय मैच २४ जुलाई से शुरू होंगे। इससे पहले ११ जुलाई से पांच एकदिवसीय मैच खेले जाएंगे। ये दौरा भारत की सीनियर टीम के टेस्ट श्रृंखला के लिये वेस्टइंडीज दौरे से पहले आयोजित किया जा रहा है। इसमें इंडिया-ए टीम पांच वनडे और तीन चार दिवसीय मैच खेलेगी। इस बीच ऋद्धिमान साहा को भी वेस्टइंडीज दौरे की टीम में चुन गया है। कंधे की चोट के कारण साहा लगभग एक साल तक बाहर रहे। उन्होंने पिछले साल अगस्त में कंधे का ऑपरेशन करवाया था और सैयद मुश्ताक अली ट्रॉफी में बंगाल की तरफ से वापसी की और आईपीएल में हैदराबाद की तरफ से पांच मैचों में खेले। पृथ्वी शॉ, मयंक अग्रवाल और हनुमा विहारी को वन-डे और चार दिवसीय दोनों टीमों में चुना गया है। शॉ और अग्रवाल के वेस्टइंडीज सीरीज में टेस्ट टीम में भी चुने जाने की संभावना है। श्रेयस अय्यर चार दिवसीय मैचों में जबकि वनडे में मनीष पांडे भारत-ए की अगुवाई करेंगे। चयनकर्ताओं ने इसके साथ ही श्रीलंका-ए के खिलाफ २५ मई से शुरू होने वाली घरेलू सीरीज के लिए भी टीमों का चयन किया है। झारखंड के विकेटकीपर बल्लेबाज इशान किशन दो चार दिवसीय मैचों में टीम की कमान संभालेंगे जबकि गुजरात के प्रियांक पांचाल छह जून से होने वाले पांच एकदिवसीय मैचों में कप्तानी करेंगे। टेस्ट क्रिकेट में नियमित तौर पर खेलने वाले आर अश्विन, चेतेश्वर पुजारा, अजिंक्य रहाणे और तेज गेंदबाज उमेश यादव को भारत ए टीम में नहीं चुना गया है क्योंकि उनके काउंटी क्रिकेट में खेलने की संभावना है। शिखर धवन ने बल्ला छोड़ थामी बांसुरी, खास अंदाज में कर रहे वर्ल्ड कप की तैयारी वर्ल्ड कप से पहले गांगुली का बड़ा बयान- विराट को लेकर कही ये बात ये ५ हैं विश्व कप के सबसे बड़े खिलाड़ी, इन्हीं के नाम दर्ज हर खास रिकॉर्ड
अपान का स्थान स्वास्थ्य और शक्ति केन्द्र है। विसर्जन क्रिया को नियमित करने में मदद करती है। सुखासन या अन्य किसी ध्यान-आसन में बैठ कर करें। प्राण वायु शरीर के विभिन्न अवयवों एवं स्थानों के लिए भिन्न-भिन्न प्रकार से कार्य करती है। इस दृष्टि से उनको अलग-अलग नाम भी दिये गये हैं जैसे प्राण, अपान, समान, उदान और व्यान। यह वायु समुदाय पांच प्रमुख केन्द्रों में अलग-अलग तरह से कार्य करता है। प्राण स्थान मुख्य रूप से हृदय में आंनद केंद्र में है। प्राण नाभि से लेकर गले तक फैला हुआ है। प्राण का कार्य सांस लेने, छोड़ने, खाया हुआ भोजन पचाने, भोजन के रस को अलग-अलग इकाइयों में विभाजित करना, भोजन से रस बनाना और रस से अन्य धातुओं का निर्माण करना है। जबकि अपान का स्थान स्वास्थ्य और शक्ति केन्द्र है, योग इसे मूलाधर चक्र कहा जाता है। अपान का कार्य मल, मूत्र, वीर्य, गर्भ और रज को बाहर निकालना है। यह सोना, बैठना, उठना, चलना आदि गतिशील स्थितियों में सहयोग करता है। जैसे अर्जन जीवन के लिए जरूरी है, वैसे ही विसर्जन भी जीवन के लिए अनिवार्य है। शरीर में केवल अर्जन की ही प्रणाली हो, विर्सजन न हो तो व्यक्ति का एक दिन भी जिंदा रहना मुश्किल हो जाता है। विर्सजन के माध्यम से शरीर अपना शोधन करता है। शरीर विर्सजन की क्रिया यदि एक, दो या तीन दिन बंद कर दे तो पूरा शरीर मलागार हो जाए। ऐसी अवस्था में मनुष्य का स्वस्थ रहना मुश्किल हो जाता है। मानव स्वास्थ्य की रक्षा के लिए अपान मुद्रा बहुत महत्वपूर्ण क्रिया है। क्योंकि यह स्वस्थ शरीर की एक महत्वपूर्ण आवश्यकता-विसर्जन क्रिया को नियमित करती है और शरीर को निर्मल बनाती है। यानी अपान मुद्रा अशुचि और गंदगी का शोधन करती है। आइए जानें अपान मुद्रा कैसे की जाती है और इसके क्या लाभ है। सुखासन या अन्य किसी ध्यान-आसन में बैठ जाएं। दोनों हाथ घुटनों पर रखें, हथेलियां उपर की तरफ रहें एवं रीढ़ की हड्डी सीधी रहे। हाथ की तर्जनी (अंगूठे के पासा वाली) अंगुली को मोड़कर अंगूठे के अग्रभाग में लगा दें तथा मध्यमा (बीच वाली अंगुली) व अनामिका (तीसरी अंगुली) अंगुली के प्रथम पोर को अंगूठे के प्रथम पोर से स्पर्श कर हल्का दबाएं। कनिष्ठिका (सबसे छोटी अंगुली) अंगुली सीधी रहेगी। प्राण और अपान दोनों का शरीर में महत्व है। प्राण और अपान दोनों को समान बनाना ही योग का लक्ष्य है। प्राण और अपान दोनों के मिलन से चित्त में स्थिरता उत्पन्न होती है। अपान मुद्रा करने का सर्वोत्तम समय प्रात, दोपहर एवं सायंकाल है। इस मुद्रा को दिन में कुल ४८ मिनट तक कर सकते हैं। दिन में तीन बार १६ मिनट भी कर सकते हैं। अपान मुद्रा के स्वास्थ्य लाभ : अपान मुद्रा ह्रदय रोगों के लिए रामबाण है, यह हृदय को शक्तिशाली बनाती है। इसीलिए इसे ह्रदय मुद्रा भी कहा जाता है। एक्युप्रेशर के अनुसार इसके दाब केंद्र बिंदु श्वास रोगों को दूर करते हैं। यह मुद्रा पेट संबंधी समस्याओं को समाप्त करती है, अपच, गैस, एसिडिटी, कब्ज जैसे रोगों में अत्यंत लाभकारी है। वायु विकार एवं डायबिटीज दूर करने में मददगार होता है। इससे दांतों के दोष एवं दर्द दूर होते है। यह यूरीन संबंधी दोषों को दूर करती है। यह मुद्रा दोनों हाथ से करने से पूर्ण लाभ उठाया जा सकता है। लेकिन अगर किसी कारण से एक हाथ दूसरे कार्य में लगा हुआ हो तो एक हाथ से भी इस मुद्रा को किया जा सकता है। हालांकि एक हाथ से करने से दोनों हाथों से करने जितना लाभ नहीं मिलता, किन्तु फायदा अवश्य होता है। प्राण, अपान, समान, उदान और व्यान वायु के दोषों का परिष्कार अपान मुद्रा से किया जा सकता है। अपान मुद्रा के दौरान सावधानी अपान मुद्रा एक शक्तिशाली मुद्रा है इसमें एक साथ तीन तत्वों का मिलन अग्नि तत्व से होता है, इसलिए इसे निश्चित समय से अधिक नही करना चाहिए। साथ ही इस मुद्रा से यूरीन अधिक आ सकता है। इससे डरने की आवश्यकता नहीं है। सोर्स: ओन्ली माई हैल्थ सम्पादकीय विभागमई २७, २०१६ अपान मुद्रा क्या है अपान मुद्रा के फायदे कैसे करें अपान मुद्रा

मथुरा खुदत कटत वृंदावन अब सांचै ही कलियुग आयौ..... - वृन्दावन टुडे मथुरा खुदत कटत वृंदावन अब सांचै ही कलियुग आयौ.. वृंदावन के प्रसिद्ध किशोरवन में व्याप्त हरियाली की अनुपम झांकी वृन्दावन के प्रसिद्ध किशोरवन में व्याप्त हरियाली की अनुपम झांकी वृन्दावन से बाग-बगीचों का खत्म होना जाना वृन्दावन, २०१७.०५.२७ (व्ट): तुलसी के वनों से आच्छादित वृंदावन आज उजड़ रहा है। जहां का हर कोना कभी हरियाली अपने आप में हरियाली समेटे हुआ था, वहां अब हरियाली नहंी रही। आबादी बढ़ी, पश्चिमी सभ्यता को देखकर लोगों की सोच बदली और विकास ने यहां पैर पसार लिए, यहां के बाग-बगीचे बड़ी बेरहमी से उजाडे़ गए और धीरे-धीरे वृन्दावन कंक्रीट का बन रहा है। वृक्षों से रगड़कर गुजरती हवा की ठंडक अब खत्म हो गई। मोरों के कलरव-नृत्य व खगों की चहचहाहट अब यहां से गायब सी हो गई है। हरियाली के साथ-साथ यहां बने सरोवर, बाबड़ी, झील, कुण्ड, पोखरों पर भी कब्जे के शिकार हो गए। वृंदावन के बारे में कहा जाता है कि वृंदावन सों वन नहीं, नंदगांव सों गांव। पर आज वृन्दावन में वन नहीं है। चारों तरफ विकास ही नजर आएगा और इस विकास की चकाचैंध में यहां नैसर्गिक खूबसूरती कहीं गायब सी हो गई है। बाग-बगीचों को खत्म कर हमने केवल पर्यावरण का ही नुकसान नहीं किया है, बल्कि अपनी संस्कृति को भी खत्म कर दिया है। वृन्दावन के हर प्रमुख मंदिरों के अपने बाग-बगीचे थे, जिसमें बकायदा ठाकुरजी अपने भक्त परिकर के साथ अपने बगीचे में जाया करते थे, लेकिन धीरे-धीरे बाग-बगीचे सब विकास की भेंट चढ़ गए। आज बाजार की दृष्टि से वृन्दावन को फिर से वृन्दा का वन बनाने की बातें और थोड़ा बहुत कार्य भी हो रहा है, मगर यह हमारे परंपरागत उस पावन हरितिमा युक्त वृन्दावन का स्थान नहीं ले सकती। आज बाग-बगीचों के न होने का परिणाम यह हो गया है कि प्रकृति, पर्यावरण और समाज संकट में आ घिरे हैं। वृन्दावन में श्रीनिधिवन राज, सेवाकुंज, किशोर वन, टटिया स्थान, रंगजी मंदिर बगीचा आदि में ही अब बस पावन वृन्दावन के दर्शन हो सकते हैं, बाकी पूरा वृंदावन सिर्फ नाम मात्र का वृन्दावन रह गया है। देखना यह है कि आने वाले समाज वृन्दावन को फिर से उसे उसका स्वरूप दिलवा पाता है या नहीं। ब्रज के रसिक संतों में से एक हरित्रयी के संत श्री हरिराम व्यास जी ने आज से ५०० वर्ष पूर्व ही वृन्दावन की आगामी स्थिति पर लिखा था कि मथुरा खुदत कटत वृन्दावन अब सांचै ही कलियुग आयौ, पूत कह्यो ना बाप को मानत, बेटिन को दिन-दिन मोल बढ़ायौ.। के तहत दायर: वृक्षारोपण सौर ऊर्जा तकनीक के वारे में छात्रों ने जानकारी ली विधानसभा में गूंजा मथुरा-वृन्दावन नगर निगम का मुद्दा
संयुक्त राष्ट्र ने की वैश्विक विकास की धीमी गति की भविष्यवाणी | संयुक्त राष्ट्र ने की वैश्विक विकास की धीमी गति की भविष्यवाणी - हिन्दी ओनेइंडिया संयुक्त राष्ट्र ने की वैश्विक विकास की धीमी गति की भविष्यवाणी संयुक्त राष्ट्र, १६ मई (आईएएनएस)। संयुक्त राष्ट्र ने अपनी अर्धवार्षिक आर्थिक रिपोर्ट में कहा है कि वर्ष २००८ के दौरान दुनिया की आर्थिक विकास दर में १.८ प्रतिशत की गिरावट आएगी। पिछले वर्ष यह ३.८ प्रतिशत थी। गुरुवार को जारी रिपोर्ट में कहा गया है कि इस वर्ष विकासशील देशों की अनुमानित औसत विकास दर पांच प्रतिशत रहेगी। वर्ष २००७ में यह ७.३ प्रतिशत थी। रिपोर्ट के मुताबिक वर्ष २००९ में विकास दर में और गिरावट आएगी और यह ४.८ प्रतिशत पर जा पहुंचेगी। रिपोर्ट में कहा गया है कि अमेरिका की आर्थिक स्थिति में सुधार के लिए जो कदम उठाए गए हैं यदि उनका सकारात्मक असर होता है तभी स्थिति में कुछ बेहतरी की उम्मीद की जा सकती है। लेकिन अमेरिका की आर्थिक गति को फिर से लय में लाने के लिए ये उपाय काफी नहीं हैं। यदि वहां ऋण प्रवाह में कमी के कारण घरों और शेयरों की कीमतों में मौजूदा गिरावट जारी रही तो वैश्विक अर्थव्यवस्था में आभासी ठहराव की स्थिति बन सकती है। रिपोर्ट में कहा गया है कि यदि मौजूदा नकारात्मक परिदृश्य जारी रहा तो वैश्विक विकास दर में गिरावट बढ़ती ही जाएगी। गौरतलब है कि जनवरी में संयुक्त राष्ट्र ने इस वर्ष विश्व विकास दर ३.४ प्रतिशत रहने की उम्मीद जताई थी।
गाय रामजी की हम लालूजी के यह भावनात्मक पत्र पढ़ने के बाद मैं शेयर करने पर मजबूर हो गया । एक दुखियारी भैंस का प्रधानमंत्री जी को मन की बात में भेजा गया पत्र । सबसे पहले तो मैं यह स्पष्ट कर दूं कि मैं ना आज़म खां की भैंस हूं । और ना लालू यादव की । ना मैं कभी रामपुर गयी । ना पटना । मेरा उनकी भैंसों से दूर दूर तक कोई नाता नहीं है । यह सब मैं इसलिये बता रही हूं कि कहीं आप मुझे विरोधी पक्ष की भैंस ना समझे लें । मैं तो भारत के करोड़ों इंसानों की तरह आपकी बहुत बड़ी फ़ैन हूं । मेरे साथ की सारी भैंसें मुझे भक्त भैंस भक्त भैंस कहकर चिढ़ाती रहती हैं । लेकिन मुझे इससे कोई फ़र्क़ नहीं पड़ता । मैं आपकी फ़ैन थी, हूं और सदा रहूंगी । चाहे कोई कुछ भी कहता रहे । जब आपकी सरकार बनी । तो जानवरों में सबसे ज़्यादा ख़ुशी हम भैंसों को ही हुई थी । हमें लगा कि अच्छे दिन सबसे पहले हमारे ही आयेंगे । लेकिन हुआ एकदम उल्टा । आपके राज में तो हमारी और भी दुर्दशा हो गयी । अब तो जिसे देखो वही गाय की तारीफ़ करने में लगा हुआ है । कोई उसे माता बता रहा है । तो कोई बहन । अगर गाय माता है । तो हम भी तो आपकी चाची, ताई, मौसी, बुआ कुछ लगती ही होंगी । हम सब समझती हैं । हम अभागनों का रंग काला है ना । इसीलिये आप इंसान लोग हमेशा हमें ज़लील करते रहते हो । और गाय को सर पर चढ़ाते रहते हो । आप किस किस तरह से हम भैंसों का अपमान करते हो । उसकी मिसाल देखिये । आपका काम बिगड़ता है अपनी गलती से । और टारगेट करते हो हमें कि देखो - गयी भैंस पानी में । गाय को क्यूं नहीं भेजते पानी में । वो महारानी क्या पानी में गल जायेगी ? आप लोगों में जितने भी लालू लल्लू हैं । उन सबको भी हमेशा हमारे नाम पर ही गाली दी जाती है - काला अक्षर भैंस बराबर । माना कि हम अनपढ़ हैं । लेकिन गाय ने क्या पीएचडी की हुई है ? जब आप में से कोई किसी की बात नहीं सुनता । तब भी हमेशा यही बोलते हो कि - भैंस के आगे बीन बजाने से क्या फ़ायदा । आपसे कोई कह के मर गया था कि हमारे आगे बीन बजाओ ? बजा लो अपनी उसी प्यारी गाय के आगे । अगर आपकी कोई औरत फैलकर बेडौल हो जाये । तो उसे भी हमेशा हमसे ही कंपरयर करोगे कि भैंस की तरह मोटी हो गयी हो । करीना और कैटरीना गाय और डॉली बिंद्रा भैंस । वाह जी वाह । गाली गलौज करो आप और नाम बदनाम करो हमारा कि - भैंस पूंछ उठायेगी तो गोबर ही करेगी । हम गोबर करती हैं । तो गाय क्या हलवा हगती है ? अपनी चहेती गाय के ऊपर तो आज तक आपसे बस एक ही कहावत बन पायी है और वो भी ऐसी कि जिसे सुनकर हमारी जांघ सुलग जाये । गाय की मिसाल आप सिर्फ़ तब देते हो । जब आपको किसी की तारीफ़ करनी होती है - वो तो बेचारा गाय की तरह सीधा है, या - अजी, वो तो राम जी की गाय है । तो गाय तो हो गयी राम जी की और हम हो गये लालू जी के । वाह रे इंसान । ये हाल तो तब है । जब आप में से ज़्यादातर लोग हम भैंसों का दूध पीकर ही सांड बने घूम रहे हैं । उस दूध का क़र्ज़ चुकाना तो दूर, उल्टे हमें बेइज़्ज़त करते हैं । एक बात बताओ । आपने कभी किसी भैंस को गायों की तरह सड़कों पर आवारा घूमते और पन्नी खाते देखा है क्या ? बताओ । असल में, सच्चाई ये है कि आप हमें ऐसे फालतू समझकर छोड़ ही नहीं सकते । हम हैं ही इतने काम की चीज़ । आपकी चहेती गायों की संख्या तो हमारे मुक़ाबले कुछ भी नहीं हैं । फिर भी, मेजोरिटी में होते हुए भी हमारे साथ ऐसा सलूक हो रहा है । प्रधानमंत्री जी, आप तो मेजोरिटी के हिमायती हो, फिर हमारे साथ ऐसा अन्याय क्यूं होने दे रहे हो ? प्लीज़ कुछ करो । आपके कुछ करने के इंतज़ार में - आपकी एक तुच्छ प्रशंसक.. साभार - एक फ़ेसबुक पेज से कलियुग में मोक्ष कैसे - पागल बाबा सतनाम साहेब सतनाम साहेब सतनाम साहेब कबीर साहिब के वचनों से कलियुग में मोक्ष उपाय पागल बाबा द्वारा - मेरे मार्ग पर चलने के लिये आपको पूरी बात समझनी होगी । सिर्फ़ जीते जी मुक्ति है । मरने के बाद किसी ने कहा नहीं कि स्वर्ग में गया या नर्क में गया । इसका कोई पता नहीं चला । जहिया जन्म मुक्ता हता तहिया हता न कोय । छटी तुम्हारी हौं जगह, तू क्यों चला बिगोय । बीजक - हे जीव तू मुक्त है । तेरे ऊपर कोई दूसरा कर्ता नहीं है । संसार में आकर के तेरे ऊपर बहुत से आवरण या गिलाफ़ चढ गये । काम क्रोध लोभ मोह अहंकार, मरने जीने का नर्क और स्वर्ग का ये तेरे सारे झूठे आवरण हैं । तू अजर अमर अविनाशी है । गीता में श्रीकृष्ण महाराज ने अर्जुन को समझाया है कि तुझे शस्त्र काट नहीं सकता । आग जला नहीं सकती । जल गला नहीं सकती । वायु सुखा नहीं सकती । फ़िर तुझे किसका भय है । तू अविनाशी मरने जीने वाला नहीं है । इसका उपाय श्रीकृष्ण ने अर्जुन से कहा है - तू किसी तत्वदर्शी सन्त के पास जा । दण्डवत प्रणाम कर । उसकी सेवा कर । सेवा करने पर प्रसन्न होकर तुझे तत्व का बोध करायेंगे । तेरे जन्म मरण का वो बन्धन छुङा देंगे । गीता में जीव मुक्त बताया है । और जिसका लोग भजन करते हैं । वो भी मुक्त बताया है । वो भी मरने जीने वाला नहीं है । ये दोनों बनने बिगङने वाले नहीं हैं फ़िर भजन किसका ? इस बात को समझें । लोग कहते हैं कि संसार किसी ने बनाया है । मैं कहता हूँ कि यदि संसार बनाया गया है । तो पहले बीज बना या वृक्ष ? ये अनादि है । किसी का बनाया हुआ नहीं है । पाँच तत्व छटवां जीव ( या बीज ) एक ही है । छह के अलावा जो कुछ भी दिखायी दे रहा है । सब बनने बिगङने वाला है । सदगुरु की पहचान - पहले गुरु को समझो । गुरु से सतसंग करो । गुरु से सतसंग करने से ही गुरुतत्व प्राप्त होगा । उसी को सदगुरु कहते हैं । सदगुरु देहधारी नहीं होता । गुरु देहधारी होता है । जब सदगुरु प्रकट हो जायेगा । तब तुम्हारे सब बन्धन छुट जायेंगे । कोई न काहू सुख दुख करि दाता । निज करि कर्म भोग सब भ्राता । फ़िर दूसरा कौन है । कौन कर सकता है ? जीव दया और आतम पूजा । मुक्त उपाय और नहिं दूजा । तेरे पास दो मार्ग हैं - एक शुभ कर्म और एक अशुभ कर्म । सुमार्ग पर जायेगा । तो राम, कृष्ण, कबीर सी पूजा होगी । कुमार्ग पर कंस रावण जैसा विनाश होगा । अब तू दोनों मार्ग समझ । किस पर चलेगा ? हम घर जारों आपना, लूका लीनों साथ, जो घर जारे आपना चले हमारे साथ । जो काम क्रोध, लोभ मोह अंहकार, को तोङ देगा । वही इस मार्ग पर पहुँचेगा । भक्ति का पहला मार्ग - मात पिता की सेवा, संसार से प्रेम, स्त्रियों के लिये सास ससुर की सेवा और पति को परमेश्वर मानना । बेटियों के लिये गुरु करने की आवश्यकता नहीं । अनसूया का कोई गुरु नहीं था । अपने पतिवृत धर्म से बृह्मा विष्णु शंकर को बालक बना दिया था । सत्यनाम - ये ज्ञान कबीर ने धर्मदास को कराया । वो ये ज्ञान है । राजा जनक ने शुकदेव को कराया । जनक को अष्टावक्र ने । श्रीकृष्ण ने अर्जुन को । सूर्य ने अपने पुत्र इच्छ्वाक को । जीव पर जब तक आवरण चढा है । तब तक जीव जीव है । आवरण हटने पर शिव हो जाता है । ज्ञान करने की विधि - पहले अनुलोम विलोम सुखासन पर बठकर । धीरे धीरे एक घन्टा चालीस मिनट करने पर आपको नासिका के अग्रभाग पर ध्यान को देना होगा । इतना होने के बाद फ़िर किसी तत्वदर्शी सन्त के पास जाना होगा । वो आपको पूर्ण ज्ञान करा देंगे । इससे आवागमन छुट जायेगा पिंडे सोई बृह्मांडे..बाहर सोई अन्दर, दोनों की जानकारी करने चाहते हो तो सम्पर्क करें । सभी मजहब व सभी संप्रदायों के लिये । शब्द की जानकारी, नाम की जानकारी, रुहानी मंडल की जानकारी, सारशब्द की जानकारी, दसवें द्वार की जानकारी, पाँच तत्वों की जानकारी, दस इन्द्रियों की जानकारी, कुन्डलिनी की जानकारी, परमहंस की अवस्था, उनमुनी, बालवत, पिशाच, सुजान । अवस्थाओं की जानकारी, जाग्रत स्वपन सुषुप्ति, तुरीया, तुरीयातीत । इस बात को समझें । और अपनी मंजिल तक पहुँचे । रामायण का नाम - कहाँ लगि करिहों नाम बढाई । सके न राम नाम गुण गाई । नानक साहब का शब्द - शब्द हि धरनी शब्द अकाशा । शब्दई शब्द भयो प्रकाशा । सोई शब्द घट घट में आछे । सगली सृष्टि शब्द के पाछे । मन को जानो, मन क्या है ?

लाखों रुपए खर्च करने के बावजूद अब भी तालाब में मिल रहा नालियों का पानी | लाखों रुपए खर्च करने के बावजूद अब भी तालाब में मिल रहा नालियों का पानी - न्यूज,इंदौर न्यूज़,इंदौर समाचार लाखों रुपए खर्च करने के बावजूद अब भी तालाब में मिल रहा नालियों का पानी न्यूज - आओ संवारे तालाब/कुएं/बावड़ी राणापुर. तालाब के इस हिस्से में सीवर इंटर सेप्टर का काम रुका हुआ है। इस बारे में... आओ संवारे तालाब/कुएं/बावड़ी राणापुर. तालाब के इस हिस्से में सीवर इंटर सेप्टर का काम रुका हुआ है। इस बारे में एसडीएम केसी परते ने कहा अतिक्रमणकर्ताओं को अतिक्रमण हटाने के नोटिस दिए थे। उन्होंने बताया है कि अतिक्रमण हटा लिए हैं। तहसीलदार को इसकी जांच कर वर्तमान स्थिति की रिपोर्ट देने को कहा है। उस रिपोर्ट के आधार पर अगली कार्रवाई तय होगी। वहीं तहसीलदार नितिन चौहान बोले- हम लोग हमारी मांगों को लेकर सामूहिक अवकाश पर हैं, इसलिए एसडीएम के आदेश को लेकर जानकारी नहीं है। व्यर्थ हो जाएगी २ करोड़ रुपए से ज्यादा की राशि तालाब के सौंदर्यीकरण व शुद्धिकरण के लिए २ करोड़ १ लाख रुपए की लागत की योजना का काम चल रहा है। सीवर इंटरसेप्टर भी इसी का एक हिस्सा है। इसका करीब ८० फीसदी काम पूरा हो चुका है। इसके रास्ते में लोगों द्वारा किया गया पक्का अतिक्रमण बाधा बन गया है। राह में बाधक इन अतिक्रमण को हटाने के लिए ठेकेदार ने नगर परिषद से अनेक बार कहा। नगर परिषद इसे राजस्व विभाग का मामला बताती रही। उसके बाद ठेकेदार ने काम ही बंद कर दिया। करीब एक साल बीतने पर भी निराकरण नहीं हो पाया। फिलहाल वार्ड ९ व ३ की गंदी नालियां तालाब में ही मिल रही। जिससे इसका पानी दूषित होकर बदबूदार हो गया है। बारिश का सीजन शुरू होने वाला है ऐसे में काम पूरा नहीं हुआ तो मुश्किलें बढ़ जाएगी। सीवर इंटरसेप्टर का काम पूरा नहीं होने पर तालाब का पानी प्रदूषित ही रहेगा जिससे २ करोड़ से ज्यादा रुपए का खर्च व्यर्थ चला जाएगा।

ट्रंप विरोधी यूजर्स की जानकारी हासिल करने के सरकार की कोशिशों को ट्विटर ने किया खारिज ट्विटर ने अभिव्यक्ति की आजादी के आधार पर अमेरिकी सरकार के खिलाफ मुकदमा दायर किया है वाशिंगटन: ट्विटर ने अमेरिकी सरकार के खिलाफ मुकदमा दायर करते हुए अदालत से समर्थन मांगा है. ट्विटर ने अमेरिकी सरकार को उन ट्विटर उपयोगकर्ताओं की जानकारी मुहैया कराने से इंकार कर दिया है जिनके बारे में प्रशासन का दावा है कि वह असहमति व्यक्त करने वाले संघीय कर्मचारी हैं. ट्विटर ने मुकदमा दायर किया था. इसमें यह खुलासा किया गया कि गृह सुरक्षा विभाग और अमेरिका सीमा शुल्क एवं सीमा सुरक्षा ने ट्विटर के एट एलटीयूएससीआईसी अकाउंट चलाने वाले यूजर की जानकारी मांगी थी. अकाउंट संचालक अमेरिकी राष्ट्रपति डोनाल्ड ट्रंप के प्रशासन की लगातार आलोचना कर रहा है. यह मुकदमा इस बात का संकेत है कि सरकारी जानकारी को लीक करने वालों को पकड़ने के लिए सोशल नेटवर्क और अमेरिकी प्रशासन के बीच यह लड़ाई लंबी चल सकती है. यह ट्विट अकाउंट कथित तौर पर गृह सुरक्षा विभाग की अमेरिकी नागरिकता एवं आव्रजन सेवा इकाई के एक या कई मौजूदा कर्मचारी चला रहे हैं. यह ट्विटर हैंडल उन हैंडलों में से एक है जो ट्रंप के जनवरी में राष्ट्रपति बनने के बाद बनाए गए थे. इन हैंडलों ने कई बार उन डेटा को प्रकाशित किया है, जिसे नया प्रशासन दबाना या आधिकारिक वेबसाइट से हटाना चाहता था. ट्विटर ने कैलिफरेनिया की फेडरल अदालत में मुकदमा दायर किया है.

वर्ल्ड कप २०१९ : धोनी के अलावा विराट कोहली की मदद कोई नहीं करेगा, जानिए किसने कहा ऐसा नई दिल्ली। विकेटकीपर महेंद्र सिंह धोनी(महेन्द्र सिंह धोनी) भारतीय क्रिकेट टीम के लिए कितने महत्तव रखते हैं, शायद इसकी व्याख्या करना भी आसान नहीं। विकेटकीपिंग में महानता हासिल करने वाले इस दिग्गज खिलाड़ी ने कप्तानी के मामले में भी खूब नाम कमाया। यही कारण है कि इंग्लैंड एंड वेल्स में होने जा रहे विश्व कप(वर्ल्ड कप) के दाैरान भी सभी को उन्हीं से बड़ी उम्मीद लगी है। वह भले ही टीम के कप्तान ना हों लेकिन मैदान के अंदर जिस तरह से उनका रवैया रहता है, उसे देख ऐसा लगता है कि टीम वही चला रहे हैं। विराट कोहली(विरत कोहली) कप्तानी के मामले में इतने पक्के नहीं हैं। धोनी के बिना वह सटीक फैसला नहीं ले सकते, ऐसा सोशल मीडिया पर क्रिकेट फैंस का जबकि कई दिग्गजों का भी मानना है। वहीं धोनी के बचपन के कोच केशव रंजन बनर्जी का भी मानना है कि कप्तानी के मामले में कोहली के पास ऐसी कला नहीं है जो धोनी के पास है। धोनी के अलावा कोहली की मदद कोई नहीं करेगा धोनी को तैयार करने वाले इस कोच ने एमएस धोनी क्रिकेट अकादमी क्लीनिक लांच के मौके पर समर कैंप' के दौरान पत्रकारों से बातचीत करते हुए कहा कि जहां तक मैच की स्थितियों को पढ़ने और रणनीति बनाने की बात है तो धोनी की तुलना नहीं की जा सकती। यहां तक कि कोहली में भी यह कला नहीं है। इसलिए कोहली को कुछ सलाह लेने की जरूरत है। अगर धोनी भारतीय टीम का हिस्सा नहीं हों तो उनकी मदद के लिए कोई नहीं होगा।' उन्होंने कहा, विराट को अब भी कप्तान के तौर पर कुछ समय की जरूरत है और धोनी से सलाह से उसकी मदद ही होगी। नंबर ४ के लिए धोनी ही सही नंबर-४ पर काैन बल्लेबाजी करेगा, इसको लेकर कई दिग्गजों मेंं अभी भी आपसी बहस देखने को मिलती है। लेकिन बनर्जी के कोच का मानना है कि चाैथे नंबर की पहले अगर कोई सुलझा सकता है तो वह धोनी ही हैं। उन्होंने कहा, 'मुझे लगता है कि विश्व कप में धोनी को चौथे नंबर पर बल्लेबाजी करनी चाहिए। यह फैसला टीम प्रबंधन का है लेकिन यह मेरी राय है। अगर वह चौथे नंबर पर बल्लेबाजी करता है तो उसके बाद बल्लेबाज खुलकर खेल सकते हैं।' धोनी के पास नंबर-४ पर ३० मैच खेलने का अनुभव है। इसपर नंबर पर वह खरे भी उतरे हैं। इसका अंदाजा यह देखकर लगाया जा सकता है कि विश्व कप २०११ का खिताब दिलाने वाले धोनी ने नंबर-४ पर आकर ५६.५८ की एवरेज के साथ 13५८ रन बनाए हैं, जिसमें १२ अर्धशतक व एक नाबाद शतकीय पारी भी शामिल है। संन्यास पर भी बोले वहीं अब यह भी सवाल उठने लग पड़े हैं कि क्या धोनी का यह आखिरी विश्व कप होगा। जब उनके कोच से यह सवाल किया गया तो उन्होंने हंसते हुए इसका जवाह दिया। बनर्जी ने कहा कि आप उन्हें संन्यास लेते देखना चाहते हैं। आपको देखना चाहिए कि वह कितने फिट हैं। यह अहम बात है। धोनी कब संन्यास लेंगे यह उनकी पत्नी और पिता को भी नहीं पता होगा। इसके अलावा उन्होंने ऋषभ पंत को टीम में नहीं चुनने पर कहा कि उन्हें मौका देना जल्दबाजी होगा। भारत के पास अच्छी बेंच स्ट्रैंग्थ है। उन्हें विश्व कप के बाद मौका मिल सकता है।
आईपीएल २०१७ क्क्र व्स मी रेसल्ट: चौका छूटा, कैच छूटा... फिर केकेआर के हाथ से मैच छूटा मुंबई इंडियंस ने बेहद रोमांचक मुकाबले में केकेआर को चार विकेट से मात दी चौका छूटा.. कैच छूटा.. और फिर मैच छूटा.. कोलकाता नाइटराइडर्स के लिए यही कहानी रही. आखिरी ओवर तक मैच मुंबई इंडियंस की पकड़ में आता दिखाई दे रहा था. इसके बावजूद केकेआर को जीत की उम्मीद थी. आखिर ओवर में ११ रन की जरूरत थी. लेकिन इसमें पहले सूर्यकुमार यादव ने एक रन की जगह चौका दिया. फिर ऋषि धवन ने हार्दिक पांड्या का कैच छोड़ दिया. इसके बाद आप जीत की उम्मीद नहीं कर सकते. मुंबई इंडियंस ने चार विकेट से मुकाबला जीत लिया. पहले बल्लेबाजी करते हुए केकेआर ने सात विकेट पर १७८ रन बनाए थे. मुंबई इंडियंस ने एक गेंद बाकी रहते छह विकेट पर १८० रन बनाकर मैच जीत लिया. मैच से पहले केकेआर टीम दस विकेट से जीतकर आई थी. मुंबई को हार मिली थी. कोलकाता नाइटराइडर्स और मुंबई इंडियंस के बीच ये मैच कुछ ऐसा ही था. कोलकाता टीम विजय के क्रम को आगे बढ़ाना चाहती थी और मुंबई अपनी सरजमीं पर जीत दर्ज करना. आईपीएल १० के सातवें मैच में १७९ का टारगेट मिला था. ये टारगेट ऐसा था, जिसके लिए एक छोर से बड़ी पारी की सख्त जरूरत थी. पहले विकेट के लिए जरूर पार्थिव पटेल (३०) और जोस बटलर (२८) ने ६५ रन जोड़े. लेकिन इसके बाद विकेट गिरने शुरू हुए, तो रुकने का नाम नहीं लिया. लेकिन जिस बड़ी पारी की जरूरत थी, वो देने का काम नितीश राणा ने किया. दिल्ली के इस बल्लेबाज ने २९ गेंद में ५० रन बनाकर मैच को पकड़ में पहुंचाया. फिर उसके बाद ११ गेंद में २९ रन की तूफानी पारी खेलकर हार्दिक पांड्या ने अपनी टीम को मुंबई के वानखेडे स्टेडियम मे जीत दिला दी. इससे पहले मनीष पांडेय ने नाबाद ८१ रनों की आतिशी पारी खेलकर कोलकाता को १७८ के चुनौतीपूर्ण स्कोर तक पहुंचाया. टॉस हारकर बल्लेबाजी करने उतरी कोलकाता ने तेज शुरुआत की, हालांकि कप्तान गौतम गंभीर (१९) का विकेट सस्ते में गिर गया. रॉबिन उथप्पा (४) भी इसी ओवर की पांचवीं गेंद पर ऊंचा शॉट खेलने के प्रयास में हार्दिक पांड्या के हाथों लपके गए. पिछले मैच में गुजरात लायंस पर शानदार जीत दिलाने वाले क्रिस लिन (३२) भी जल्द ही जसप्रीत बुमराह की गेंद पर पगबाधा हो पवेलियन लौट गएय क्रुणाल पांड्या ने अपने अगले ही ओवर में यूसुफ पठान (६) का विकेट चटकाया. अगले पांच ओवरों में कोलकाता सिर्फ २४ रन जोड़ सकी. कोलकाता बड़े स्कोर की ओर बढ़ती नजर नहीं आ रही थी, लेकिन मिचेल मैक्लेनेगन द्वारा लाए गए पारी के आखिरी ओवर में २३ रन जोड़कर मनीष ने अपनी टीम को सम्मानजनक योग दिलाया. मनीष ने ४७ गेंदों में पांच चौका और इतने ही छक्के लगाए और अंत तक नाबाद रहे. मुंबई के लिए क्रुणाल ने सर्वाधिक तीन विकेट लिए. क्रुणाल ने सबसे किफायती गेंदबाजी भी की. उन्होंने चार ओवरों के अपने स्पेल में २४ रन दिए. लसिथ मलिंगा को दो और मैक्लेनेगन तथा जसप्रीत बुमराह को एक-एक विकेट मिला. हरभजन सिंह कोई विकेट हासिल नहीं कर सके.

बवासीर से राहत पाने के प्राकृतिक नुस्खे - प्राकृतिक उपचार २०१९ से पीड़ित हैं अर्श (के रूप में भी जाना जाता है बवासीर) एक ऐसी स्थिति है जो वास्तव में असहज और दर्दनाक बन सकती है। बवासीर के बहुत सारे सामान्य मामले हैं, इनका दर्द कम करने के लिए प्राकृतिक तरीकों को जानना हमेशा उपयोगी होता है। लेकिन बवासीर या बवासीर क्या हैं? वे मूल रूप से हैं नसों की सूजन जो हमें मलाशय में स्थित मिली, और जब वे सूजन हो जाते हैं, तो यह कष्टप्रद लक्षण पैदा करता है जो कभी-कभी बहुत गंभीर हो सकते हैं। गंभीरता के आधार पर (और, अंततः, बवासीर की डिग्री और प्रभाव, १ से ४ तक), रक्तस्राव हर बार जब आप बाथरूम में जाते हैं, तो जलन, जलन और प्रभावित क्षेत्र में खुजली के दौरान दिखाई दे सकते हैं। उनके कारण वास्तव में बहुत विविध हैं, हालांकि अधिकांश अवसरों के परिणामस्वरूप वे उत्पन्न होते हैं कब्ज या संचलन मूल की समस्याओं के कारण। वे एक गतिहीन जीवन की खोज और शारीरिक व्यायाम के छोटे अभ्यास के कारण भी दिखाई देते हैं। हम आपको इस बार उन युक्तियों की एक श्रृंखला का प्रस्ताव देते हैं जिन्हें आपके घर में किसी भी समय और उसके बाद आसानी से लागू किया जा सकता है, चाहे वह बाथरूम के उपयोग के माध्यम से, बर्फ या चाय और अन्य तरीकों के उपयोग से हो इनसे पीड़ित हैं। बवासीर के इलाज में मदद करने के लिए टिप्स एक स्वस्थ आहार बवासीर के इलाज के लिए पहला कदम है उन खाद्य पदार्थों से स्वस्थ आहार लें जो फाइबर से भरपूर हों, जैसे कि ब्रेड या साबुत अनाज टॉर्टिला। पालक, किशमिश, प्लम, अनाज, ब्रोकोली और मटर जैसे विभिन्न फलों और सब्जियों का सेवन करें; इसके अलावा, ओट्स, बीन्स, अनाज और नट्स का सेवन आपको बवासीर का इलाज करने में मदद कर सकता है, क्योंकि जब यह इलाज करने की बात आती है, तो आहार सबसे महत्वपूर्ण कारक होता है, इससे पाचन संबंधी समस्याएं बेहतर होंगी जो आपको हो सकती हैं। दूसरी ओर ऐसे खाद्य पदार्थ हैं, जिन्हें खाने से बचना चाहिए जो रक्तस्राव के बिगड़ने का कारण बन सकते हैं, जैसे कि मिर्च मिर्च, कुछ मसाले और ड्रेसिंग, लहसुन, अजमोद, प्याज, सरसों, टमाटर सॉस, टमाटर, सिरका, कॉफी, चॉकलेट और शराब; ये ऐसे खाद्य पदार्थ हैं जिनसे आपको बचना चाहिए और कब्ज या दस्त जैसी स्थितियों के निर्माण में मदद कर सकते हैं, जो निस्संदेह प्रभावित कर सकते हैं और बवासीर के सबसे सामान्य कारणों में से एक हो सकते हैं। उपचार प्रक्रिया में तेजी लाने के लिए गर्म स्नान का उपयोग बवासीर के दर्द से राहत पाने का एक तरीका गर्म स्नान का उपयोग करना है। हम किसी भी साबुन या बाहरी एजेंट (स्वाद के पानी, शॉवर शैम्पू, साबुन, आदि) के बिना ८ इंच गर्म पानी के साथ एक टब भरने के लिए आगे बढ़ते हैं। गर्म पानी से भरे टब के साथ और कुछ नहीं (बहुत गर्म नहीं), अगला कदम १० से १५ मिनट के लिए टब में बैठना है, बवासीर की वसूली में तेजी लाने के लिए कई दिनों तक इस प्रक्रिया को दोहराएं और दर्द को कम करें इन। बर्फ या चाय बैग का उपयोग गुदा क्षेत्र में लगाए गए बर्फ या ठंडे चाय बैग के आवेदन से दर्द कम हो सकता है जो वसूली प्रक्रिया में तेजी लाने के लिए प्रभावी हैं; लपेटना याद रखें, यदि आप बर्फ का उपयोग करते हैं, तो यह आपके आवेदन के लिए कपड़े में है। पीने के पानी का खूब पीने की सलाह दी जाती है; यदि यह पीने योग्य नहीं है, तो इसे उबाल लें या पहले शुद्ध कर लें, इसकी उच्च सोडियम सामग्री के कारण बवासीर होने पर मिनरल वाटर पीने की सलाह नहीं दी जाती है। अच्छी गुदा स्वच्छता बनाए रखना और एक ही समय में बवासीर को खरोंचने या रगड़ने से बचने के लिए उन्हें घायल करने और संक्रमण को रोकने के लिए एक महत्वपूर्ण पहलू है। ठंड या गर्म पानी से गुदा को धोने की कोशिश करें; इसे साफ करने के लिए, आपको सफाई के लिए टॉयलेट पेपर के उपयोग से बचना चाहिए, इसका उपयोग केवल पानी से धोने के बाद गुदा को सुखाने के लिए किया जाना चाहिए। मेलिलोटस का उपयोग यह एक जड़ी बूटी है जिसका औषधीय उपयोग है; लसीका जल निकासी को बढ़ावा देता है, जो द्रव प्रतिधारण को कम करता है, विशेष रूप से शिरापरक दीवार के ऊतकों में। स्वर बैठना, जुकाम, एंटी वैरिकाज़ टॉन्सिल के लिए उपयोगी, कसैले और निश्चित रूप से, दर्दनाक बवासीर भी। प्रभावित क्षेत्र की अधिकतम सफाई और देखभाल बनाए रखना इस के एक इष्टतम उपचार के लिए महत्वपूर्ण है। आवश्यक देखभाल के साथ, अधिकांश रोगसूचक बवासीर का दर्द दो से सात दिनों के भीतर कम हो जाएगा, और कठोर गांठ को चार से छह सप्ताह में कम होना चाहिए; आपके पास बवासीर नहीं होना चाहिए, खरोंच या परेशान नहीं होना चाहिए, क्योंकि यह एक संक्रमण में समाप्त हो सकता है और उन्हें बदतर बना सकता है। हालांकि, यदि आप इस समय में सुधार नहीं देखते हैं या यदि बवासीर २, ३ या ४ डिग्री है, तो आपको व्यक्ति की स्थिति का निदान करने के लिए एक पेशेवर चिकित्सक के पास जाना चाहिए और इसके लिए एक उपयुक्त उपचार भेजना चाहिए। यदि सर्जरी के बिना समस्या का इलाज नहीं किया जा सकता है, तो प्रभावित व्यक्ति को विभिन्न प्रकार के सर्जिकल उपचार उपलब्ध होंगे। यह लेख केवल सूचना के उद्देश्य से प्रकाशित किया गया है। यह एक चिकित्सक के साथ परामर्श को प्रतिस्थापित नहीं कर सकता है और नहीं करना चाहिए।हम आपको अपने विश्वसनीय चिकित्सक से परामर्श करने की सलाह देते हैं। बवासीर पाइल्स का स्थायी समाधान | इन कारणों को कर दें दूर कभी नहीं होगा बवासीरपाइल्स | पाइल्स ट्रेटमंट (जुलाई २०१९)

रघुवर दास का अपना बचपन बहुत अभावों में गुजारा, जिसकी वजह से उन्होंने जमशेदपुर की टाटा स्टील रोलिंग मिल में मजदूर के रूप में अपना सफर शुरु किया। टाटा स्टील के कर्मचारी से झारखंड के नये मुख्यमंत्री बनने तक का रघुवर दास का सियासी सफर बेहद दिलचस्प रहा है। रघुवर दास झारखंड के पहले गैर आदिवासी मुख्यमंत्री हैं। रघुवर दास पहली बार १९९५ में भाजपा की टिकट पर जमशेदपुर (पूर्व) से चुनाव लड़े और जीत दर्ज की। चार बार विधायक रह चुके रघुवर दास ३० दिसंबर, २००९ से २९ मई, २०१० तक झारखंड के उपमुख्यमंत्री रह चुके हैं। एनडीए की पूर्व सरकार में इन्हें मंत्री पद भी दिया गया था। रघुवर दास को अमित शाह की टीम का हिस्सा माना जाता है। बतौर भाजपा संगठनकर्ता वे कई प्रदेशों में भाजपा की जीत में अहम भूमिका निभा चुके हैं। रघुवर दास भाजपा के कद्दावर नेताओं में जरूर गिने जाते हैं, लेकिन उनका आरएसएस या अन्य सहयोगी संगठनों से कोई सीधा संबंध नहीं है। रघुवर दास १९७४ के छात्र आंदोलन के समय समाजवादी छात्र संगठनों के संपर्क में रहे। उसके बाद भाजपा का दामन थामने के बाद पार्टी ने उन्हें कई जिम्मेदारियां दीं, जिसको उन्होंने बखूबी निभाया। उन्होंने २०१४ के चुनावों में 'जमशेदपुर पूर्व' सीट से भारतीय जनता पार्टी के टिकट पर चुनाव लड़ा तथा वे भारतीय राष्ट्रीय काँग्रेस के उम्मीदवार आनन्द बिहारी दुबे को ७०१५७ वोटों के अंतर से हराकर निर्वाचित हुए और झारखंड के छठवें मुख्यमंत्री नियुक्त किये हुए। रघुवर दास झारखंड के पहले गैर आदिवासी मुख्यमंत्री हैं। ५९-वर्षीय रघुवर दास वर्ष १९७७ में जनता पार्टी के सदस्य बने। वर्ष १९८० में बीजेपी की स्थापना के साथ ही वह सक्रिय राजनीति में आए।उन्होंने वर्ष १९९५ में पहली बार जमशेदपुर पूर्व से विधानसभा का चुनाव लड़ा और विधायक बने। तब से लगातार पांचवीं बार उन्होंने इसी क्षेत्र से विधानसभा चुनाव जीता है। तत्कालीन बिहार के जमशेदपुर पूर्व से वर्ष १९९५ में उनका टिकट बीजेपी के प्रसिद्ध विचारक गोविंदाचार्य ने तय किया था। दास पंद्रह नवंबर, २००० से १७ मार्च, २००३ तक राज्य के श्रम मंत्री रहे, फिर मार्च २००३ से १४ जुलाई, २००४ तक वह भवन निर्माण और १२ मार्च २००५ से १४ सितंबर, २००६ तक झारखंड के वित्त, वाणिज्य और नगर विकास मंत्री रहे। इसके अलावा दास २००९ से ३० मई, २०१० तक झारखंड मुक्ति मोर्चा के साथ बनी बीजेपी की गठबंधन सरकार में उपमुख्यमंत्री, वित्त, वाणिज्य, कर, ऊर्जा, नगर विकास, आवास और संसदीय कार्य मंत्री भी रहे। रघुवर दास पर कई विवादों के आरोप भी लगे हैं। जनवरी २०१० में रघुवर दास एक प्राइवेट कंपनी को पुरस्कार अच्छे कार्य करने के लिए पुरस्कार देने के चलते विवाद में रहे। बात २००४-२००५ की है जब दास झारखंड की मुंडा सरकार के अंतर्गत शहरी विकास मंत्री थे।

शरीयत नहीं, मानसिकता बदलने की जरुरत : इमाम उमर इलयासी - थे शियासत डेली मुस्लिम धर्मगुरु इमाम उमर इलयासी ने बुधवार को कहा कि शरीयत कानून नहीं बल्कि मानसिकता बदलने की जरूरत है। उनका यह बयान जमीयत उलेमा हिंद के नेतृत्व में मुस्लिम समुदाय के २५ मौलानाओं की प्रधानमंत्री नरेंद्र मोदी से हुई मुलाकात के बाद आया है। उन्होंने कहा, यह मामला बहुत गंभीर हो गया है। अब लगता है कि हमें कुछ तय करना होगा। जुलाई के पहले सप्ताह में हमने अखिल भारतीय इमाम संगठन की बैठक आयोजित करने का निर्णय लिया है जिसमें हम इस मामले पर चर्चा करेंगे। हम मानते हैं कि कहीं इसका दुरुपयोग हुआ है और इस पर चिंता करने की हमारी ज़िम्मेदारी है। महिलाओं के अधिकार केवल सरकार की जिम्मेदारी नहीं हैं, बल्कि समाज के भी हैं। लोगों की मानसिकता को बदलने की आवश्यकता है, शरीयत नहीं। इन नेताओं के प्रतिनिधिमंडल का स्वागत करते हुए राष्ट्रीय सुरक्षा सलाहकार अजीत डोभाल ने कहा था कि पूरी दुनिया भारत की तरफ देख रही है और यह कि भारतीय समाज के सभी वर्गों की जिम्मेदारी देश को आगे बढ़ाने के लिए है। प्रतिनिधिमंडल के सदस्यों ने डोभाल से सहमति व्यक्त की। प्रधानमंत्री से मुलाक़ात की प्रशंसा करते हुए प्रतिनिधिमंडल के सदस्यों ने आशा व्यक्त की कि वे समाज के सभी क्षेत्रों की समृद्धि और कल्याण सुनिश्चित करेंगे। उन्होंने तीन तलाक़ के मुद्दे पर प्रधानमंत्री मोदी के रुख कीसराहना की। प्रतिनिधिमंडल के सदस्य जो शैक्षिक संस्थानों से भी जुड़े हुए हैं, ने सरकार की नकद रहित लेनदेन, स्टार्ट-अप आदि पहल का उल्लेख किया। प्रधानमंत्री ने पहले ही दोहराया कि मुस्लिम समुदाय को इस मुद्दे को राजनीति में घसीटने की इजाजत नहीं दी जानी चाहिए और इसमें सुधार की शुरुआत करने की जिम्मेदारी लेने का सभी से आग्रह किया गया।

होम लाइफस्टाइल खाना खजाना नानखताई कुकर में बनायें नानखताई को कुकर में भी बहुत असानी से बना सकते हैं। बिना ओवन के भी यह नानखताई उतनी ही अच्छी स्वादिष्ट बनकर तैयार होती है। बेसन २ टेबल स्पून (१५ ग्राम) सूजी २ टेबल स्पून (१५ ग्राम) चीनी ३/४ कप (१२५ ग्राम) घी १/२ कप से थोड़ा सा ज्यादा (१२5 ग्राम) पिस्ते ५-६ कद्दूकस किए हुए नमक १/२ किलो विधि: नान खटाई बनाने के लिए किसी प्याले में मैदा निकाल लीजिए। मैदा में सूजी, बेसन डाल कर अच्छे से मिक्स कर लीजिए। अब एक दूसरे प्याले में देशी घी निकल लीजिए और घी में चीनी डाल कर अच्छे से मिक्स कीजिए और मिश्रण को तब तक फेंटिए जब तक की वो अच्छे से फूला हुआ और गाढा़ होकर एकसार हो जाए। मिश्रण के अच्छे से फूल जाने पर इसमें बेकिंग पाउडर और इलायची पाउडर डाल कर मिक्स कर लीजिए। इस मिश्रण में मैदा सूजी और बेसन का मिश्रण जो अलग से मिक्स कर लिया था इसमें डाल दीजिए और सभी चीजों को अच्छे से मिलाते हुए मिक्स कर लीजिए। मश्रण को हाथ से आटे के जैसा हल्का सा गूंथ कर तैयार कर लीजिए। (अगर आपका मिश्रण सूखा सा लग रहा है तो आप इसमें १-२ चम्मच दूध के डाल कर इसे ठीक कर सकते हैं)। नान खटाई बनाने के लिए कुकर को गैस पर गरम होने के लिए रखें। कुकर में १/२ किलो नमक डाल कर कुकर के तले पर नमक की परत बिछा दीजिए। अब इस पर एक जाली स्टैंड रख दीजिए। अब कुकर को ढक कर इसे अच्छे से गरम होने दीजिए। नान खटाई बनाने के लिए कोई भी ऐसी प्लेट ले लीजिए जो कुकर में आसानी से आ जाए। प्लेट को घी लगाकर चिकना कर लीजिए। अब नान खटाई के लिए तैयार किए मिश्रण में से थोडा़ सा मिश्रण निकाल लीजिए और हथेली की सहायता से इसे गोल आकार देकर हल्का सा चपटा कर लीजिए और इसे घी लगी प्लेट में रख दीजिए। सारी नान खटाई इसी तरह से बना कर प्लेट पर थोड़ी-थोड़ी दूरी पर रखते जाएं। सभी नान खटाई पर चाकू से क्रास का निशान बना दीजिए, और इस पर थोड़ा-थोड़ा पिस्ता डाल दीजिए। कुकर को ७-८ मिनिट तक गरम कर लिया है, कुकर अच्छे से गरम हो कर तैयार है। अब नान खटाई की प्लेट को कुकर में जाली स्टैंड पर रख दीजिए। कुकर को ढक कर मध्यम आंच पर १० मिनिट के लिए नान खटाई को बेक होने दीजिए। १० मिनिट बाद नान खटाई को चैक कीजिए। कुकर का ढक्कन खोले और चैक करें, नान खटाई फूल तो गई पर सिकी नहीं है तो इसे फिर से बंद करके ४-५ मिनिट के लिए सिकने दीजिए अब गैस की आंच को थोड़ा तेज कर दीजिए और तेज आंच पर इसे सिकने दीजिए। जब तक नान खटाई सिक रही है, बचे हुए मिश्रण से और नान खटाई बना कर तैयार कर लीजिए। नान खटाई को चैक कीजिए, नान खटाई सिक कर तैयार है यह अच्छी फूली हुई और हल्की सी ब्राउन सिक चुकी है। प्लेट को कुकर में से निकाल लीजिए और ठंडा होने दीजिए। तब तक तैयार मिश्रण से बनाई हुई नान खटाई की दूसरी प्लेट को सिकने के लिए कुकर में रख दीजिए। नान खटाई सिकने पर इसे भी निकाल लीजिए और ठंडा होने दीजिए। नान खटाई के ठंडा होने पर इसे प्लेट में निकाल लीजिए और सर्व कीजिए। नान खटाई को बेक होने में १२-१५ मिनिट का समय लग जाता है। नान खटाई को पूरी तरह से ठंडा हो जाने के बाद इसे किसी भी एयर टाइट कंटेनर में भर कर रख दीजिए और पूरे १ माह तक इसे खाते रहिए। आपको इसका स्वाद बहुत भाएगा।

डॉक्टर्स दए२०२० : वो भारतीय डॉक्टर, जिसने हजारों चीनी सैनिकों की जान बचाई थी डॉक्टर द्वारिका नाथ कोटनिस, वो डॉक्टर जिसकी इज्जत चीन अब भी करता है भारत का एक डॉक्टर दूसरे विश्व युद्ध घायल चीनी सैनिकों का इलाज करने चीन गया. वहां उसने हजारों चीनी सैनिकों की जान बचाई. विश्व युद्ध खत्म होने के बाद भी वो चीन में लोगों की सेवा में लगा रहा. चीन शायद ही किसी विदेशी की उतनी इज्जत करता हो, जितनी इस भारतीय डॉक्टर की भारत-चीन के बीच सीमा पर जबरदस्त तनाव है. इस हालत में कम से कम एक भारतीय डॉक्टर चीन को भी याद आ रहा होगा, जिसने दूसरे विश्व युद्ध के दौरान हजारों चीनी सैनिकों की जिंदगी बचाई थी. इसी के चलते उस भारतीय डॉक्टर की मृत्यु भी हो गई. हालांकि चीन आज भी उस भारतीय डॉक्टर को भरपूर इज्जत देता है. यही नहीं जब भी चीन के कोई प्रधानमंत्री या राष्ट्रपति भारत आए तो वो उस भारतीय डॉक्टर से परिजनों से यहां जरूर मिले. उनके प्रति आभार व्यक्त किया. उस डॉक्टर का नाम है द्वारकानाथ कोटनिस. शी जिनपिंग ने भी की थी मुलाकात चीन के राष्ट्रपति शी जिनपिंग भी जब भारत आए थे तो वो डॉ. द्वारकानाथ कोटनिस के परिवार से मिलने गए. वो २०१४ में उनकी बहन मनोरमा से मिले. शी से मिलाने के लिए मुंबई स्थित चीन के वाणिज्य दूतावास ने डॉ. कोटनिस की ९३ वर्षीय बहन और उनके परिवार के अन्य सदस्यों को हवाई यात्रा से दिल्ली लाने की विशेष व्यवस्था की थी. ये भी पढ़ें: कितना ताकतवर है इंटरपोल, जिसकी मदद से प्रेसिडेंट ट्रंप गिरफ्तार हो सकते हैं? द्वारकानाथ कोटनिस उस पांच सदस्यीय भारतीय डॉक्टरों के दल का हिस्सा थे जिन्हें १९३८ में चीन-जापान युद्ध के दौरान चीनी सैनिकों की मदद के लिए भेजा गया था. ये वो समय था जब जापान ने चीन पर आक्रमण कर दिया था और चीनी कम्युनिस्ट नेता झू डे ने जवाहर लाल नेहरू से भारतीय डॉक्टरों को भेजने के लिए मांगा था. इस डॉक्टरों के दल का नेतृत्व एम. अटल कर रहे थे. उनके अलावा दल में बीके बसु, एम. चोलकर, डॉ. मुखर्जी और कोटनिस शामिल थे. लेकिन वहां से कुछ समय बाद कोटनिस को छोड़कर बाकी सभी वापस आ गए. कोटनिस वहीं रुके रहे और चीनी सैनिकों का इलाज करते-करते अपने प्राणों का बलिदान दे दिया. लेकिन उनके बलिदान ने उन्हें चीन का आइकॉन बना दिया. चार सालों तक चीन में रहे कोटनिस चीन में चार सालों तक रहे. उन्होंने इस दौरान चीन के सुदूर इलाकों में टेंट के मेडिकल क्लिनिक में अनगिनत चीनी सैनिकों की जान बचाई. १९३९ में वो माओत्से तुंग की रिवोल्यूशनरी आर्मी का हिस्सा बन गए. फिर उनकी आगे की जिंदगी चीन में ही बीती यहीं से तय हो गया था कि अब उनकी आगे की जिंदगी चीन में ही बीतने वाली है. अंग्रेजी अखबार द ट्रीब्यून में प्रकाशित एक रिपोर्ट के मुताबिक इस दौरान कोटनिस ने ८०० मेजर ऑपरेशन किए थे. उन्हें १९४१ में चीन के डॉ. बेथुने इंटरनेशनल पीस हॉस्पिटल का डायरेक्टर बना दिया था. लेकिन तीन साल तक अपने स्वास्थ्य की चिंता न करने की कीमत उन्होंने चुकानी शुरू कर दी थी. उन्हें मिर्गी के दौरे पड़ने शुरू हो गए. दिन ब दिन उनकी हालत बिगड़ती चली गई. ९ दिसंबर 1९42 को महज ३२ साल की उम्र कोटनिस ने दुनिया छोड़ दी. चीन की लड़की से प्यार हुआ और शादी कर ली मराठी परिवार से ताल्लुक रखते थे कोटनिस डॉ. कोटनिस को चीन में जितना सम्मान मिला है उतना शायद ही किसी विदेशी को कभी मिला हो. उनकी मृत्यु पर माओत्से तुंग ने कई बार दुख जाहिर किया था. वो हमेशा कोटनिस के व्यक्तिगत रूप से आभारी रहे. जब में चीन में कम्यूनिस्ट पार्टी का शासन स्थापित हो गया तो फिर उसके बाद तकरीबन सभी बड़े नेताओं ने कोटनिस के प्रति आभार व्यक्त किया. शी जिनपिंग के अलावा १९५० में चीनी प्रधानमंत्री झाऊ एन लाई, १९९६ में चीनी राष्ट्रपति जियांग जेमिन, २००१ और २००२ में प्रधानमंत्री ली पेंग और झू रोंगजी, २००६ में राष्ट्रपति हू जिताओ और २०१३ में प्रधानमंत्री ली केकियांग ने कोटनिस के परिवार से मुलाकात की थी.
उप वेथर अलर्ट: अगले ३ से ४ दिन उमस से रहेंगे बेहाल, इन जिलों में हल्की बारिश की उम्मीद मौसम विभाग के अनुसार अब कई इलाकों के उमस की संभावना है. (प्रतीकात्मक तस्वीर) उप वेथर अलर्ट: वैसे तो मौसम विभाग के पहले के अनुमान के मुताबिक २८ जुलाई से पूरे प्रदेश में अच्छी बारिश की संभावना थी, लेकिन अब इस तिथि को आगे बढ़ा दिया गया है. लखनऊ. अमौसी स्थित आंचलिक मौसम विज्ञान केंद्र (मेट डिपार्टमेंट) के पूर्वानुमान के मुताबिक अगले कुछ घंटों में बुलंदशहर, संभल, महाराजगंज, संत कबीर नगर और लखीमपुर खीरी में बारिश (रेन) की उम्मीद है. मौसम विभाग का अनुमान है कि सोमवार को तराई क्षेत्र के कुछ जिले में बारिश हो सकती है. प्रदेश के बाकी इलाकों में बारिश की संभावना कम ही है. हालांकि, बादलों की आवाजाही लगी रहेगी जिससे धूप छांव की स्थिति बनी रहेगी. तेज धूप निकलने से लोगों को गर्मी और उमस से भी परेशानी झेलनी पड़ सकती है. वैसे तो मौसम विभाग के कल के अनुमान के मुताबिक २८ जुलाई से पूरे प्रदेश में अच्छी बारिश की संभावना थी, लेकिन अब इस तिथि को आगे बढ़ा दिया गया है. ताजा अनुमान के मुताबिक २९ और ३० जुलाई को प्रदेश में अच्छी बारिश हो सकती है. २७ और २८ जुलाई को पूर्वी यूपी के कुछ स्थानों पर भारी बारिश भी हो सकती है, जबकि पश्चिमी यूपी में २९ और ३० जुलाई को अच्छी बारिश की संभावना है. मौसम विभाग के अनुमान के मुताबिक ही बीता रविवार का दिन रविवार को एक दो जगहों पर छोड़कर पूरे प्रदेश में कहीं भी बारिश नहीं हुई. सिर्फ मेरठ में २० मिलीमीटर बारिश दर्ज की गई. सूबे के बाकी किसी भी जिले में बारिश दर्ज नहीं की गई. दूसरी तरफ बारिश ना होने की वजह से और तेज धूप निकलने से लोगों को भारी उमस का सामना करना पड़ रहा है. यह सिलसिला अगले ३ से ४ दिनों तक यूं ही जारी रह सकता है. यह जरूर है कि जिन जिलों में बारिश की वजह से जलजमाव हो गया था वहां अब थोड़ी राहत मिल सकेगी.

भारतीय जनसंघ की स्थापना करने वाले महापुरुषों में से एक अटल बिहारी वाजपेयी.. | विस्वा संवादा केन्द्र जयपुर उत्तर प्रदेश में आगरा जनपद के प्राचीन स्थान बटेश्वर के मूल निवासी पण्डित कृष्ण बिहारी वाजपेयी मध्य प्रदेश की ग्वालियर रियासत में अध्यापक थे। वहीं शिन्दे की छावनी में २५ दिसम्बर १९२४, को ब्रह्ममुहूर्त में उनकी सहधर्मिणी कृष्णा वाजपेयी की कोख से अटल जी का जन्म हुआ था। पिता कृष्ण बिहारी वाजपेयी ग्वालियर में अध्यापन कार्य तो करते ही थे इसके अतिरिक्त वे हिन्दी व ब्रज भाषा के सिद्धहस्त कवि भी थे। पुत्र में काव्य के गुण वंशानुगत परिपाटी से प्राप्त हुए। महात्मा रामचन्द्र वीर द्वारा रचित अमर कृति विजय पताका पढकर अटल जी के जीवन की दिशा ही बदल गयी। अटल जी की बी०ए० की शिक्षा ग्वालियर के विक्टोरिया कालेज (वर्तमान में लक्ष्मीबाई कालेज) में हुई। छात्र जीवन से वे राष्ट्रीय स्वयंसेवक संघ के स्वयंसेवक बने और तभी से राष्ट्रीय स्तर की वाद-विवाद प्रतियोगिताओं में भाग लेते रहे। कानपुर के डी०ए०वी० कालेज से राजनीति शास्त्र में एम०ए० की परीक्षा प्रथम श्रेणी, में उत्तीर्ण की। उसके बाद उन्होंने अपने पिताजी के साथ.साथ कानपुर में ही एल०एल०बी० की पढ़ाई भी प्रारम्भ की लेकिन उसे बीच में ही विराम देकर पूरी निष्ठा से संघ के कार्य में जुट गये। उन्होंने अपना जीवन राष्ट्रीय स्वयंसेवक संघ के प्रचारक के रूप में आजीवन अविवाहित रहने का संकल्प लेकर प्रारम्भ किया था और देश के सर्वोच्च पद पर पहुँचने तक उस संकल्प को पूरी निष्ठा से निभाया। डॉ॰ श्यामा प्रसाद मुखर्जी और पण्डित दीनदयाल उपाध्याय के निर्देशन में राजनीति का पाठ तो पढ़ा ही, साथ-साथ पांचजन्य, राष्ट्रधर्म, दैनिक स्वदेश और वीर अर्जुन जैसे पत्र-पत्रिकाओं के सम्पादन का कार्य भी कुशलता पूर्वक करते रहे। वे भारतीय जनसंघ की स्थापना करने वाले महापुरुषों में से एक हैं और १९६८ से १९७३ तक उसके अध्यक्ष भी रहे। वे जीवन भर भारतीय राजनीति में सक्रिय रहे। वाजपेयी राष्ट्रीय जनतांत्रिक गठबंधन (राजग) सरकार के पहले प्रधानमन्त्री थे जिन्होंने गैर काँग्रेसी प्रधानमन्त्री पद के ५ साल बिना किसी समस्या के पूरे किए। उन्होंने २४ दलों के गठबंधन से सरकार बनाई थी जिसमें ८१ मन्त्री थे। कभी किसी दल ने आनाकानी नहीं की। इससे उनकी नेतृत्व क्षमता का पता चलता है। नेक्स्ट स्टोरी चार दिवसीय हिन्दू आध्यात्मिक एवं सेवा मेला हुआ कन्या पूजन एवं आचार्य वंदन प्रेवियस स्टोरी हिन्दी की सेवा और गोरक्षा में उनके प्राण बसते थे..
जयपुर। इस मौसम में भारी बारिश ने देशभर में तबाही ला दी है। मूसलाधार बारिश से कई सारे राज्यों के जनजीवन प्रभावित हो रहे हैं। इसी तरह राजस्थान के चित्तौड़गढ़ में बारिश के पानी की वजह से एक स्कूल में ३५० बच्चे और ५० टीचर फंस गए हैं। बता दें राणा प्रताप डैम से पानी छोड़े जाने के बाद नदियों में पानी का उफान है। सड़कों पर भी पानी जमा हो गए हैं। जिसकी वजह से ३५० बच्चे स्कूलों में कैद होकर रह गए हैं। इस मुश्किल वक्त में बस यही राहत की बात है कि स्थानीय लोग बच्चों और शिक्षकों की भरपूर मदद कर रहे हैं। उन्हें खाना-पानी जैसे बुनियादी चीजें ले जाकर दे पा रहे हैं। दरअसल, राणा प्रताप डैम से भारी मात्रा में निकले पानी की वजह से सड़कों पर सैलाब जैसे हालात बन गए हैं। स्कूल में फंसे बच्चों और शिक्षकों को स्थानीय लोग तत्काल सहायता और खाने-पीने का सामान पहुंचा रहे हैं। वहीं कोटा बैराज से लाखों क्यूसेक पानी छोड़े जाने से श्योपुर की चंबल नदी में भी उफान आ गया है। यही वजह है कि चंबल के बढ़े जल स्तर से आसपास के कई गांवों में बाढ़ के हालात पैदा हो गए हैं। इतना ही नहीं इस बाढ़ की वजह से श्योपुर को जयपुर और सवाई माधोपुर को जोड़ने वाला स्टेट हाईवे भी डूब गया है। देश के कई राज्यों में मूसलाधार बारिश से जनजीवन बुरी तरह प्रभावित हो रहे हैं। राजस्थान में भी मूसलाधार बारिश ने ऐसे हालात बना दिए हैं कि कोटा समेत कई शहरों में जनजीवन ठप है। भारी बारिश के कारण कोटा में बैराज के १८ गेट खोले गए हैं। जिससे साढ़े पांच लाख क्यूसेक पानी छोड़ा गया। वहीं प्रतापगढ़, करौली में भी हालात बद से बदतर हैं। बता दें कोटा बैराज से ६१ हजार क्यूसेक पानी छोड़ा गया है। बताया जा रहा है कि १३ साल बाद बैराज के सभी १९ गेट खोल दिए गए हैं। जिससे निचले इलाकों में पानी का भरी जमाव हो गया है। राजस्थान के चित्तौड़गढ़ और प्रतापगढ़ में भी हालात तेजी से बिगड़ रहे हैं। सभी छोटी-नदियां किनारा तोड़कर फैलती जा रही हैं। नदी के उफान में कोटा-दौसा मेगा हाईवे भी दरिया बन गया है। जिसके बंद होने से दर्जनों गांवों का संपर्क कोटा टूट गया है।
बेरोजगारी की लाइन में इंजीनियरिंग और मास्टर्स युवा सेंटर फॉर मॉनिटरिंग इंडियन इकॉनमी के मुताबिक पिछले वर्ष फरवरी २०१८ में जहां बेरोजगारी दर ५.९ फीसदी थी, वहीं २01९ में यह ७.२ फीसदी हो चुकी है. नौकरी के लिए पढ़े-लिखे युवा किस कदर भटक रहे हैं नईदिल्ली : भारत में आज बेरोजगारों की तादाद इस रफ्तार से बढ़ रही है कि इंजीनियरिंग, बी.टेक और मास्टर्स करके भी युवा सालों तक नौकरी के लिए भटक रहे हैं, इसके बाद भी उन युवाओं को नौकरी नहीं मिल रही है. बीते एक साल के आंकड़ों पर गौर फरमाएं तो बेरोजगारी दर में भारी इजाफा हुआ है. सेंटर फॉर मॉनिटरिंग इंडियन इकॉनमी के मुताबिक पिछले वर्ष फरवरी २०१८ में जहां बेरोजगारी दर ५.९ फीसदी थी, वहीं २01९ में यह ७.२ फीसदी हो चुकी है. नौकरी के लिए पढ़े-लिखे युवा किस कदर भटक रहे हैं इसका अंदाजा महाराष्ट्र स्थित चिंचावाड़ में आयोजित एक रोजगार मेले में देखने को मिला मिला. रोजगार मेले में युवाओं ने प्रधानमंत्री नरेंद्र मोदी के उस वादे का जिक्र किया जो उन्होंने २०१४ के लोकसभा चुनाव में किया था, उस दौरान नरेंद्र मोदी ने करोड़ों रोजगार के अवसर पैदा करने की बात कही थी, लेकिन तब से लेकर आज तक किसी को नौकरी नहीं मिली. जबकि चीन ने अपने ४० साल के दारौन मैन्युफैक्चरिंग बूम की बदौलत विकास के नए आयाम को हासिल कर लिया, लेकिन भारत में ऐसा मुमकिन नहीं हो पाया. हैरान करने वाली बात तो यह हैकि रॉयटर्स को स्किल एसेस्मेंट फर्म एस्पाइरिंग माइंड्स के सह-संस्थापक वरुण अग्रवाल ने बताया कि भारत में पास-आउट होने वाले ८० फीसदी से अधिक इंजीनियर रोजगार के लायक नहीं होते हैं. बिना स्किल्ड वाले इंजीनियरों की संख्या बल पर हो-हल्ला नहीं मचना चाहिए. अग्रवाल बताते हैं कि इसके लिए भारत सरकार जिम्मेदार है, क्योंकि भारत सरकार अपनी शिक्षा नीतियों में कोई बदलाव नहीं करना चाहती है.
नसा के इंटरनेट निगरानी कार्यक्रम का बोर्ड ने किया समर्थन नई दिल्ली: राष्ट्रपति बराक ओबामा द्वारा नियुक्त किए गए सदस्यों से युक्त एक बोर्ड ने राष्ट्रीय सुरक्षा एजेंसी (एनएसए) के निगरानी कार्यक्रमों का समर्थन किया है. एनएसए के निगरानी कार्यक्रमों से जुड़ी सूचनाएं लीक होने के बाद से इन पर दुनिया भर में खासा विवाद पैदा हुआ है. हालांकि, बोर्ड ने एनएसए के निगरानी कार्यक्रमों का समर्थन करते हुए यह भी कहा कि इसके कुछ पहलु निजता संबंधी चिंताएं पैदा करते हैं. नई रिपोर्ट के मुताबिक, अमेरिका के भीतर एनएसए द्वारा इंटरनेट पर उपलब्ध आंकड़ों को इकट्ठा करना संवैधानिक कसौटियों पर खरा उतरता है और इसमें ऐसे वाजिब सुरक्षा उपाय किए गए हैं जिनसे अमेरिकियों के अधिकारों की रक्षा होती है. इस रिपोर्ट पर पांच सदस्यीय बाइपार्टिसन प्राइवेसी एंड सिविल लिबर्टीज ओवरसाइट बोर्ड को वोट करना था. बोर्ड ने पहली बार जनवरी में एनएसए के निगरानी कार्यक्रम का बारीकी से अध्ययन किया था और अपनी रिपोर्ट में कहा था कि एसएसए द्वारा घरेलू कॉल रिकॉर्ड के संग्रहण में कानूनी कवच की कमी है और इसे बंद कर दिया जाना चाहिए. पर अपने ताजा अध्ययन में इसने एनएसए के कार्यक्रम के प्रति विपरीत रूख अपनाया है.

मोदी को फादर ऑफ इंडिया कहना महात्मा गांधी की बेइज्जती, ट्रंप के बयान पर भड़के कांग्रेस नेता पिशाचिनी मुक्ति पूजा में बाकायदा 'फेमिनिज्म' और 'मी टू इंडिया' का पिंडदान भी किया गया। इनका कहना है कि 'मी टू' आंदोलन भारत में लैंगिक समानता के लिए सकारात्मक की अपेक्षा नकारात्मक ज्यादा रहा। नारीवाद यानी फेमिनिज्म (फेमिनिस्म) और मी टू मूवमेंट (मे तो इंडिया) पिछले कुछ सालों से चर्चा के अहम मसलों में शुमार है। कुछ लोग इसे महिला सशक्तिकरण की दिशा में सकारात्मक कदम मानते हैं तो कुछ लोग इसे मुसीबत का सबब मानते हैं। कर्नाटक में इसे लेकर एक अनोखा मामला सामने आया है। दरअसल यहां एक संगठन ने पिछले दिनों नारीवाद को खत्म करने के लिए पिशाचिनी मुक्ति पूजा का आयोजन किया। इसे परिवार बचाओ आंदोलन बताकर पूरे विधि-विधान के साथ पूजा-अर्चना की गई। इस कार्यक्रम को लेकर सोशल मीडिया पर जबर्दस्त प्रतिक्रियाएं देखने को मिलीं। फेसबुक पर जारी की गई विज्ञप्तिः इंडिया टुडे की रिपोर्ट के मुताबिक २२ सितंबर २०१९ को दोपहर साढ़े १२ बजे हुई इस पूजा के बाद फेसबुक पर प्रेस रिलीज भी शेयर की गई। द स्पॉइल्ट मॉडर्न इंडिया वूमन नाम के फेसबुक पेज से जानकारी साझा की गई। इस रिलीज के कैप्शन में लिखा था, आएं और इसके बारे में सोचें। द स्पॉइल्ड मॉडर्न इंडियन वूमन फेसबुक पेज पर शेयर रिलीज ४० एनजीओ ने मिलकर चलाई मुहिमः इसमें इस मुहिम को भारती परिवार बचाओ आंदोलन नाम दिया गया। बताया जा रहा है कि इसे पारिवारिक सद्भाव और लैंगिक समानता के लिए काम करने वाले ४० एनजीओ ने मिलकर शुरू किया है। इनका कहना है कि इस तरह की विचारधारा ने देश में लैंगिक भेदभाव को घटाने की बजाय बढ़ाया है। फेमिनिज्म-मी टू का पिंडदान भी किया गयाः रिलीज के मुताबिक पिशाचिनी मुक्ति पूजा में बाकायदा फेमिनिज्म और मी टू इंडिया का पिंडदान भी किया गया। इनका कहना है कि मी टू आंदोलन भारत में लैंगिक समानता के लिए सकारात्मक की अपेक्षा नकारात्मक ज्यादा रहा। रिपोर्ट के मुताबिक यह आयोजन सिर्फ कर्नाटक में नहीं बल्कि इसी दिन देश के लगभग ५० अन्य स्थानों पर भी किया गया। बता दें कि इस कार्यक्रम के आयोजन का फैसला ११वीं अखिल भारतीय पुरुष महासभा में लिया गया था। सोशल मीडिया पर फेमिनिज्म पिशाचिनीट्रेंड करने लगा। १ एक और राज्य में खस्ताहाल हुई कांग्रेस, पार्टी अध्यक्ष के बाद १0 नेताओं ने दिया इस्तीफा, नए दल के आसार २ पूर्व इयास अफसर कन्नान गोपीनाथन का आरोप- मुझे सावित्रीबाई फुले पुणे विश्वविद्यालय में नहीं दी गई एंट्री ३ एड के ऐक्शन पर बोले नप चीफ शरद पवार- दिल्ली की गद्दी के आगे झुकूंगा नहीं, संविधान पर है यकीन

भूत का डर आपको भी लगता है ? जानें क्या कहते हैं एक्सपर्ट | तेहलथईट हिन्दी किसी प्रकार का भय इंसान के जीवन की गुणवत्ता को प्रभावित कर सकता है। भूत का डर हो या अन्य किसी प्रकार का डर इंसान के दैनिक जीवन के काम को भी प्रभावित करता है। आपने कई बार लोगों को यह कहते हुए सुना होगा की रात में भूत का डर लगता है। यह एक प्रकार का भय होता है जिसे मेडिकल टर्म में फॉस्मोफोबिया कहा जाता है। किसी प्रकार का भय इंसान के जीवन की गुणवत्ता को प्रभावित कर सकता है। भूत का डर हो या अन्य किसी प्रकार का डर इंसान के दैनिक जीवन के काम को भी प्रभावित करता है। हीरानंदानी हॉस्पिटल, वाशी की साइकोलॉजिस्ट डॉ मधुमिता कहती हैं कि लोगों में कई तरह के भय होते हैं कुछ तो परिस्थितियों के हिसाब से (जैसे हवाई जाहज या बंद जगह) कुछ प्रकृति (जैसे आंधी या ऊंचाइयों से) और जानवरों या कीड़े (जैसे कुत्तों या मकड़ियों) से हो सकता है। डॉ मधुमिता कहती हैं कि भूत की कहानियों और डरावनी फिल्मों को देखते हुए कुछ लोग रोमांच का अनुभव करते हैं तो कुछ लोग डर जाते हैं। ज्यादातर लोग इस तरह के रोमांच को नियंत्रित कर सकते हैं। कुछ लोगों में इस तरह का डर खतरनाक होता है जिसका इलाज आवश्यक होता है। इस तरह का डर जीवन को प्रभावित करता है। यह कहना बिल्कुल गलत है कि कुछ लोगों में जो भूत का डर होता है वह कोई अलौकिक शक्ति के द्वारा होता है। टॉक थेरपी के माध्यम से इसका उपचार संभव है। टॉाक थेरपी के माध्यम से यह समझने की कोशिश की जाती है कि भय किस बात है और उसकी जड़ क्या है, इसके बाद उस सोच को बदलने के लिए आवश्यक प्रयास किया जा सकता है। सांस की कुछ एक्सरसाइज के माध्यम से इसमें आराम मिलता है। आराम और शांत मन के लिए इसे करना चाहिए।

माई मौम माई दीवा परिवार की हर जरूरत को बिना कहे समझ जाने वाली मां को बच्चे क्यों अपनी स्ट्रैंथ मानते हैं, जानिए उन्हीं से. सुबह ५ बजे का अलार्म बजा नहीं कि मम्मी तुरंत उठ खड़ी होतीं. फिर जब वे हमें उठाने लगती हैं तो हम सब हर बार बस ५ मिनट और सोने दो कह कर उन्हें रूम से चले जाने का इशारा कर देते हैं. जब तक हम उठते हैं हमें लंच व ब्रेकफास्ट तैयार मिलता है. तैयार होते भी हम मां से कभी जूते लाने को कहते हैं तो कभी कहते हैं मां प्लीज मेरी ड्रैस प्रैस कर दो. हम ही नहीं पापा व घर के अन्य सदस्यों की भी इस तरह की फरमाइशें जारी रहती हैं. मां चेहरे पर मुसकान लिए खुशीखुशी हम सब की फरमाइशें पूरी कर देती हैं, जबकि उन्हें खुद भी औफिस जाना होता है. मगर वे जानती हैं कि खुद के साथसाथ परिवार की सारी चीजों को कैसे मैनेज कर के चलना है. घर की सारी जरूरतें पूरी करने के बाद उन्हें अपने औफिस भी जाना होता है. कभीकभी तो मुझे आश्चर्य होता है कि इतने व्यवस्थित तरीके से वे ये सब कैसे मैनेज करती हैं. मैं भी उन से सीख कर उन के जैसा बनना चाहती हूं. सच में मौम सिर्फ एक परफैक्ट वूमन नहीं, बल्कि मेरी स्ट्रैंथ भी हैं और उन्हीं से मैं आयरन की तरह मजबूत बन जीवन जीने का व्यवस्थित तरीका भी सीख रही हूं, यह कहना है १७ वर्षीया रिया का. फिटनैस से नो कंप्रोमाइज अगर औफिस पहुंचने की जल्दी के चक्कर में हैल्थ को इग्नोर किया तो आगे चल कर दिक्कतों का सामना करना पड़ेगा, इसलिए सुबह की सैर स्किप करने का तो सवाल ही नहीं उठता, भले ही सुबह आधा घंटा जल्दी क्यों न उठना पड़े. ऐसा सिर्फ मां अकेले नहीं करतीं, बल्कि इस में परिवार के सभी सदस्यों को भी शामिल करना नहीं भूलती, क्योंकि वे जानती हैं कि फिटनैस सिर्फ उन के लिए ही नहीं, बल्कि सभी के लिए जरूरी है. सभी को समझाती भी हैं कि सुबह की फ्रैश हवा में घूमने से हम खुद को न सिर्फ बीमारियों से दूर रख सकते हैं, बल्कि पूरा दिन फ्रैश महसूस करते हुए चुस्ती से काम भी कर सकते हैं. मां यह बात अच्छी तरह जानती है कि परिवार की सेहत का ध्यान रखने के लिए उस का भी सेहतमंद रहना जरूरी है. वर्किंग मदर्स खासतौर पर इस बात का खयाल रखती हैं. उन्हें पता है कि उम्र बढ़ने के साथ महिलाओं को शरीर में आयरन, कैल्सियम इत्यादि की कमी से दोचार होना पड़ता है. ऐसे में वे अपनी डाइट के प्रति सजग हैं. चीजों का स्किप करना नहीं सीखा कहावत है कि मां के पास जादू की छड़ी होती है जिस से वह हर मुश्किल आसान बना देती है. कुनाल ने अपना अनुभव शेयर करते हुए बताया कि मम्मी की औफिस में मीटिंग और उसी दिन स्कूल में हमारी पार्टी होने के कारण मुझे घर से राइस ले जाने थे. मेड को भी उसी दिन छुट्टी करनी थी. पापा ने भी सुबह ही बताया कि आज उन का आलूमटर खाने का मन है. इतने सारे काम. फिर भी मेरी सुपर मौम ने किसी को रूठने नहीं दिया. घर का कोई काम अधूरा नहीं छोड़ा. फिर टाइम पर औफिस भी पहुंच गईं. ये सब हमें उन के शाम को घर लौटने पर पता चला. तब हमें लगा कि हमें भी अपनी स्वीट मौम के लिए कुछ करना चाहिए. तब मैं ने और पापा ने उन के लिए डिनर तैयार कर के उन्हें सरप्राइज दिया. ऐसा उन्होंने पहली बार नहीं, बल्कि कई बार किया है. मैं उन्हें ऐसा करता देख कर इंस्पायर होता हूं. और उन की तरह बनना चाहता हूं. खुद को रखती हैं हरदम टिपटौप मां यह बात भली प्रकार समझती है कि उस की बेटी उसे अपनी स्ट्रैंथ के साथसाथ उसे अपना रोल मौडल भी मानती है. ऐसे में वह अपने अपीयरैंस से समझौता नहीं करती. अपनी मां के पर्सनल केयर रूटीन के बारे में कृति कहती हैं कि मौम हर समय किसी की भी एक आवाज पर हाजिर हो जाती हैं. पूरा दिन घर व औफिस के कामों में लगी रहती हैं. फिर भी खुद को टिपटौप रखती हैं. लेटैस्ट आउटफिट्स को कैरी करना नहीं भूलतीं. भले ही बाहर जाने का टाइम न भी मिले, फिर भी अपनी स्किन की केयर के लिए होममेड चीजें चेहरे पर प्रयोग करती रहती हैं ताकि स्किन हर उम्र में चमकतीदमकती रहे. वे हमें भी त्वचा को जवां बनाए रखने के लिए ज्यादा से ज्यादा पानी पीने की सलाह देती हैं. सिर्फ सलाह ही नहीं, बल्कि उन्हें जबरदस्ती करवाती भी हैं ताकि हम धीरेधीरे उसे अपने रूटीन में शामिल कर सकें. मैं जब भी अपनी मौम के साथ जाती हूं तो मुझे गर्व महसूस होता है कि ये मेरी मौम हैं. उन की पर्सनैलिटी की हर कोई तारीफ करते नहीं थकता. परिवार की हर बात का खयाल मां को फैमिली की स्ट्रैंथ यों ही नहीं कहते, उस के पास परिवार के एकएक सदस्य की पसंदनापसंद का लेखाजोखा रहता है. कब और किसे क्या चाहिए, वह बिना बताए ही समझ जाती है. आदर्श अपनी परीक्षा के दिन याद करते हुए बताता है कि पिछले हफ्ते मेरी परीक्षा थी. मैं ने देर रात तक पढ़ाई की. मम्मी को मेरी आदत के बारे में पता था कि मैं जल्दीजल्दी में अपना एडमिट कार्ड ले जाना भूल जाऊंगा, इसलिए उन्होंने पहले ही मेरे बैग में मेरा एडमिट कार्ड रख दिया था. जब परीक्षा केंद्र में मुझे याद आया तो मेरे होश उड़ गए. लेकिन माई मौम इज ग्रेट यह सोच जब मैं ने अपना बैग चैक किया तो वह उस में था. यही नहीं जब भी पापा को जरूरी डौक्यूमैंट्स की जरूरत होती है, तो मम्मी ही उन्हें ढूंढ़ कर देती हैं. यानी हम उन के बिना अधूरे हैं. बच्चों को बनाए वैल बिहैव्ड मां को बच्चों के साथ समय बिताने का भले ही कम समय मिल पाता है, फिर भी वे अपने बच्चों को पूरी तरह वैल मैनर्ड बनाने की कोशिश करती हैं. किस तरह बड़ों के सामने पेश आते हैं, घर आए मेहमान को कैसे ऐंटरटेन करते हैं, अगर कोई आप के साथ बदतमीजी करता है तो कैसे प्यार से उसे अपनी गलती महसूस करवानी है, पेरैंट्स अगर कुछ कहें तो उलट कर जवाब नहीं देना है, हमेशा सब की मदद के लिए तैयार रहना है वगैरावगैरा सिखाती रहती हैं. मां से बेहतर भला यह बात कौन समझेगा कि बच्चे के लिए उस की पहली पाठशाला उस के मातापिता ही होते हैं. उन के बोलचाल के तरीके और व्यवहार पर पेरैंट्स की ही छाप होगी. मां यह सुनिश्चित करती है कि घर का कोई भी सदस्य बच्चों के सामने अनापशनाप बात या व्यवहार करे. समझाए पढ़ाई का महत्त्व मांएं ट्यूशन तक ही बच्चों की पढ़ाई को सीमित नहीं रखतीं, बल्कि खुद भी उन की पढ़ाई पर समय देती हैं ताकि वे उन की वीकनैस व स्ट्रैंथ को पहचान सकें. जहां भी उन्हें उन में कमजोरी नजर आती है उन्हें टीचर की तरह समझाने की कोशिश करती हैं ताकि उन का बच्चा अव्वल आ सके. बच्चे के उज्जवल भविष्य की नींव रखने में मां की भूमिका को नकारा नहीं सकता. उस के प्रतिदिन के प्रयास का फल बच्चे के काबिल बन जाने पर ही मिलता है. फैमिली संग क्वालिटी टाइम भी वे घर में सभी के साथ क्वालिटी टाइम व्यतीत करने में विश्वास रखती हैं ताकि अगर थोड़ा सा समय भी साथ बिताने को मिले तो वह समय उन के लिए पूरे दिन का बैस्ट समय हो और परिवार का कोई भी सदस्य खुद को इग्नोर महसूस न करे. मां की भूमिका परिवार में धागे की तरह होती है जिस से परिवार का हर एक सदस्य मोतियों की तरह पिरोया हुआ रहता है. ऐसे में वह सुनिश्चित करती है कि दिन में भले कुछ समय के लिए ही, मगर परिवार के सभी सदस्य एकसाथ बैठ कर कुछ पल जरूर बताएं. फंक्शंस भी मिस नहीं करतीं आजकल की व्यस्त जीवनशैली अपनों, नातेरिश्तेदारों से मिलनेजुलने के मौके बहुत कम देती है. मां की जिम्मेदारी यहां और भी बढ़ जाती है क्योंकि जब वह खुद व्यस्त होने का बहाना बना कर गैटटुगैदर मिस करेगी तो बच्चे भी अपनों को जाननेसमझने से वंचित रह जाएंगे. मां यह सुनिश्चित करती है कि पारिवारिक समारोहों में सपरिवार शामिल हो कर फैमिली बौंडिंग को और मजबूत बनाया जाए. इस बारे में श्रेया कहती है कि मैं थकी हुई हूं या फिर मेरे पास ढेरों काम हैं, कह कर मेरी मौम ने कभी फैमिली फंक्शंस मिस करने का बहाना नहीं बनाया, बल्कि हर फंक्शन अटैंड करती हैं. यही नहीं, घर आए मेहमानों की भी खुशीखुशी आवभगत करती हैं. वे हमें भी यही सिखाती हैं कि रिश्तों, परिवार का महत्त्व समझो, क्योंकि एकजुट परिवार में जो ताकत होती है वह अलगथलग रहने में नहीं. सिखाती है टाइम मैनेजमैंट समय का सही प्रबंधन किस तरह करना है, यह तो कोई मां से सीखे. अपना अनुभव शेयर करते हुए राज का कहना है कि मैं अपने पेरैंट्स का सिंगल चाइल्ड हूं, जिस कारण मुझे अपने पेरैंट्स से ऐक्स्ट्रा केयर मिलती है. मेरे मौमडैड दोनों वर्किंग हैं. इस के बावजूद मेरी मौम ने घर में पूरा अनुशासन बना कर रखा है. मैं जब भी कोई गलती करता हूं तो वे मुझे आंखों से इशारा कर अपनी नाराजगी बता देती हैं, जिस से मैं उस काम को दोबारा करने की हिम्मत नहीं जुटा पाता. मेरी मौम चीजों को बहुत अच्छी तरह मैनेज करना जानती हैं. उन्हीं से मैं ने टाइम मैनेजमैंट सीखा है. मैं तो यही कहूंगा कि अब तक मैं ने जो अचीव किया है सिर्फ अपनी मां के कारण. बोल्ड बनाती है मां जिस तरह मां हर परिस्थिति का सामना डट कर करती है उसी तरह बच्चों को भी हर हालात से लड़ना सिखाती है. अनुभव बताते हैं कि जब मेरी मां की ऐंजौय करने की उम्र थी तब हमारे पापा का देहांत हो गया. ऐसी स्थिति में मां ने खुद को संभालते हुए हमें कभी पापा की कमी महसूस नहीं होने दी. उन्होंने जौब कर के हमारी हर जरूरत को पूरा किया. वे हमें भी बोल्ड बनाने की कोशिश करती रहती हैं. वे अंदर से भले ही टूट गई थीं, लेकिन हमारे सामने कभी आंखों से आंसू नहीं आने दिए. उन का संघर्ष और मेहनत देख मेरे मुंह से उन के लिए तारीफ के शब्द निकलने रुकते नहीं हैं. मैं अपनी मौम से बस यही कहूंगा कि आप को दुनिया की हर खुशी देने की कोशिश करूंगा.

बिलासपुर: श्रावण का महीना शुरू होते ही नयना देवी मंदिर में श्रद्धालुओं का तांता लगना शुरू हो गया है। भारी तादाद में श्रद्धालु मां के दर्शन के लिए पहुंच रहे हैं और उनमें यहां १ से १0 अगस्त तक चलने वाले श्रावण मास के मेलों को लेकर काफी जोश है। श्रद्धालुओं को किसी तरह की परेशानी ना हो इसलिए यातायात व कानून व्यवस्था को चाक-चौबंद रखने के लिए पुलिस प्रशासन ने ७०० पुलिस व ३५० होमगार्ड जवानों की तैनाती की है। इसके साथ ही १2 पुलिस अधिकारी जिला के बाहर मेले के दौरान प्रतिनियुक्ति पर नयनादेवी में तैनात रहेंगे। अतिरिक्त पुलिस अधीक्षक भागमल को मेला अधिकारी नियुक्त किया गया है, वहीं डी.एस.पी. नयनादेवी भी सुरक्षा व्यवस्था में रहेंगे। यह जानकारी अपने कार्यालय में पत्रकार वार्ता करते हुए एस.पी. बिलासपुर साक्षी वर्मा ने दी है। उन्होंने बताया कि नयनादेवी से कुछ पहले घवांडल चौक पर ही सारा टै्रफिक रोक दिया जाएगा। यहां से दर्शन करने वाले सभी श्रद्धालु पैदल जाएंगे। घवांडल चौक से थोड़ा आगे दोपहिया वाहनों की पार्किंग बनी है, वहां तक दोपहिया वाहन को ले जाने की इजाजत होगी लेकिन यदि श्रद्धालुओं की भीड़ बढ़ी तो दोपहिया वाहनों को भी घवांडल चौक पर ही रोक दिया जाएगा। उन्होंने बताया कि पंजाब की तरफ से आने वाले भारी वाहनों बसों, ट्रकों व टैक्टर ट्रॉलियों को टोबा से आगे नहीं आने दिया जाएगा। टोबा से एच.आर.टी.सी. की विशेष बसें व टैक्सियां श्रद्धालुओं को साधारण किराए पर घवांडल चौक तक लाएंगी। छोटे वाहनों में कारें इत्यादि टोबा से आगे लाने की इजाजत रहेगी लेकिन ये सभी वाहन भी घवांडल चौक तक ही जाएंगे। घवांडल चौक से आगे केवल एम्बुलैंस, फायर ब्रिगेड, शारीरिक रूप से अक्षम व लंगर का सामान लेकर जाने वाले वाहनों को विशेष परमिट पर जाने की ही छूट होगी। मंदिर परिसर में अधिक भीड़ इकट्ठी हो, इसके लिए बस अड्डा के पास से १००-१२५ श्रद्धालुओं को जत्थों में भेजा जाएगा। धक्कामुक्की इत्यादि से बचने के लिए मातृ आंचल के पास बने मंदिर के सिंहद्वार पर अलग से बैरिकेड्स भी लगाए जाएंगे। मंदिर के अंदर की गतिविधियों को दर्शन करने के लिए बाहर खड़े श्रद्धालुओं को दिखाने के लिए लाइव एल.सी.डी. स्क्रीन भी मंदिर के बाहर लगाई जाएगी। बिजली महादेव बना शराबियों का अड्डा, आस्था को ठेस पहुंचा रहे शराबी

चुनाव तत्काल: अधिकारियों ने छुट्टी मांगी, कलेक्टर ने व्र दे दिया | भिंड म्प न्यूज होमंप न्यूजचुनाव तत्काल: अधिकारियों ने छुट्टी मांगी, कलेक्टर ने व्र दे दिया | भिंड म्प न्यूज भिंड। नए कलेक्टर धनराजू एस ने आते ही धमाकेदार कार्रवाई कर डाली। उन्होंने बीमारी का बहाना बनाकर चुनाव ड्यूटी से बचने की कोशिश करने वाले उद्यान अधिकारी एवं एक अध्यापक को वीआरएस दे दिया। कलेक्टर ने इसके आदेश भी जारी कर दिए। अब दोनों अधिकारियों को किसी भी चुनाव ड्यूटी में नहीं जाना पड़ेगा। भिंड के ग्रामीण उद्यान विस्तार अधिकारी गिरजाशंकर दुबे और शासकीय माध्यमिक विद्यालय धरई के अध्यापक सुधीर त्रिपाठी ने स्वास्थ्य कारणों के चलते चुनावी ड्यूटी से अवकाश लिया था लेकिन अवकाश के आवेदन के साथ मेडिकल बोर्ड का प्रमाण पत्र संलग्न नहीं किया था। इस पर कलेक्टर ने इन्हें २०-५० फॉर्मूल के तहत वीआरएस दे दिया। ये फॉर्मूला २० वर्ष की नौकरी या ५० वर्ष की आयु का है। इस अवधि या आयु के बाद यदि व्यक्ति नौकरी के योगय ना हो तो उसे रिटायरमेंट दे दिया जाता है। कलेक्टर ने इस संबंध में आदेश भी जारी कर दिए। कलेक्टर का ये फरमान अब पूरे शहर में चर्चाओं का विषय बन गया है, क्योंकि भिंड कलेक्टर आशीष कुमार की जगह २००९ बैच के आईएएस अधिकारी धनराजू एस को भिंड का नया कलेक्टर बनाया गया है। आज उनकी ड्यूटी का पहला दिन था और पहले दिन ही उन्होंने यह कार्रवाई कर दी। एस धनराजू इसके पहले लोक स्वास्थ्य एवं परिवार कल्याण और राष्ट्रीय स्वास्थ्य मिशन के संचालक थे। अक्सर सुर्खियों में रहते हैं धनराजू एस आईएएस बता दें कि धनराजू एस अक्सर सुर्खियों में रहने वाले काम करते हैं। सिवनी कलेक्टर रहते हुए इनकी एक फोटो काफी वायरल हुई थी। फोटो में धनराजू एस अपनी बेटी को पैदल स्कूल छोड़ने जा रहे थे। वाट्सएप पर एक पोस्ट देखकर मरीज को खून देने पहुंच गए थे। नोटबंदी के समय अपनी ६ साल की बेटी के साथ बैंक की लाइन में लगे दिखाई दिए थे। इन सभी मामलों ने धनराजू एस को काफी लोकप्रियता दी लेकिन इसके बाद इनकी बर्थडे पार्टी की एक फोटो वायरल हुई जिसमें शराब के जाम छलक रहे थे।

नाहरगढ़ बायोलॉजिकल पार्क में सफेद बाघ राजा की मौत की सूचना ने पूरे वन्यजीव जगत को झकझोर कर रख दिया है. करीब सप्ताह भर से बीमार चल रहे सफेद बाघ राजा की १ अगस्त को अचानक ज्यादा तबीयत बिगड़ने पर उसके रक्त के नमूने आईवीआरआई बरेली भेजे गए थे. १ अगस्त को राजा के पेशाब से खून आने लगा था: नाहरगढ़ बायोलॉजिकल पार्क के एसीएफ जगदीश गुप्ता ने बताया कि १ अगस्त को राजा के पेशाब से खून आने लगा था. इसके बाद

गई थी. दोनों की मौत लेप्टोसिरोसिस नाम की बीमारी से हुई थी जो कि चूहे और नेवले के पेशाब से फैलती है. इसके बाद बायोलॉजिकल पार्क में यहां पल रहे पांच एशियाटिक लायन, चार बाघ जिनमे सफेद बाघ राजा भी शामिल था और पांच लेपर्ड के स्वास्थ्य की जांच कराई जिसमें लेपर्ड को छोड़ सभी शेर और बाघ का क्रिएटिनिन बढ़ा हुआ मिला. सफेद बाघ किडनी की बीमारी से उबर नहीं पाया: इसके बाद से ही लगातार इन्हें विशेषज्ञ चिकित्सकों की सलाह पर दवा दी जा रही थी लेकिन सफेद बाघ किडनी की बीमारी से उबर नहीं पाया और आज दम तोड़ दिया. हालांकि मौत के कारणों का स्पष्ट पता पोस्टमार्टम की रिपोर्ट आने के बाद चलेगा लेकिन प्रारंभिक

हज़ारों साल पहले राक्षसों एवं दैत्यों से मानव एवं देवता आतंकित थे। उसी समय मानव मां शक्ति को याद करने लगे। तब पार्वती (शक्ति) का छिन्नमस्तिका के रूप में अवतरण हुआ। छिन्नमस्तिका का दूसरा नाम प्रचण्ड चण्डिका भी है। फिर मां छिन्नमस्तिका खड़ग से राक्षसों-दैत्यों का संहार करने लगीं। यहां तक कि भूख-प्यास का भी ख्याल नहीं रहा, सिर्फ पापियों का नाश करना चाहती थीं। रक्त की नदियां बहने लगीं। पृथ्वी में हाहाकार मच गया। मां अपना प्रचण्ड रूप धारण कर कर चुकी थीं। पापियों के अलावा निर्दोषों का भी वध करने लगीं। तब सभी देवता प्रचण्ड शक्ति से घबड़ाकर भगवान शिव के पास गये और शिव से प्रार्थना करने लगे कि मां छिन्नमस्तिका का प्रचण्ड रूप को रोकें, नहीं तो पृथ्वी पर उथल-पुथल हो जायेगी। देवताओं की प्रार्थना सुनकर भगवान शिव मां छिन्नमस्तिका के पास पहुंचे। मां छिन्नमस्तिका भगवान शिव को देखकर बोली- हे नाथ! मुझे भूख सता रही है। अपनी भूख कैसे मिटाऊं? भगवान शिव ने कहा कि- आप पूरे ब्रह्माण्ड की देवी हैं। आप तो खुद एक शक्ति हैं। तब भगवान शिव ने उपाय बताया कि आप अपनी गर्दन को खड़ग से काटकर निकलते हुए शोनित (रक्त) को पान करें तो आपकी भूख मिट जायेगी। तब मां छिन्नमस्तिका ने शिव की बात सुनकर तुरंत अपनी गर्दन को खड़ग से काटकर सिर को बाएं हाथ में ले लिया। गर्दन और सिर अलग हो जाने से गर्दन से खून की तीन धाराएं निकलीं, जो बाएं-दाएं डाकिनी-शाकिनी थीं। दो धाराएं उन दोनों की मुख में चली गयीं तथा बीच में तीसरी धारा मां के मुख में चली गयी, जिससे मां तृप्त हो गयीं।

भारत को विश्व में सड़क दुर्घटनाओं की राजधानी कहा जाने लगा है और इन दुर्घटनाओं में सड़कों पर पड़े गड्ढों बड़ी भूमिका निभाते हैं। गत ५ वर्षों में सड़कों के गड्ढों से दुर्घटनाओं में 1५,००० से अधिक लोग मारे गए।६ दिसम्बर, २०१८ को सुप्रीम कोर्ट ने इस पर नाराजगी... भारत को विश्व में सड़क दुर्घटनाओं की राजधानी कहा जाने लगा है और इन दुर्घटनाओं में सड़कों पर पड़े गड्ढों बड़ी भूमिका निभाते हैं। गत ५ वर्षों में सड़कों के गड्ढों से दुर्घटनाओं में 1५,००० से अधिक लोग मारे गए। ६ दिसम्बर, २०१८ को सुप्रीम कोर्ट ने इस पर नाराजगी जताते हुए कहा, यह आंकड़ा सीमा पर आतंकी हमले में मरने वालों से भी अधिक है। यह इस बात का गवाह है कि सड़कों का रख-रखाव सही ढंग से नहीं हो रहा है जो स्वीकार्य नहीं है।सड़कों के रख-रखाव की जिन पर जिम्मेदारी है वे अपना काम सही ढंग से नहीं कर रहे हैं चाहे वे नगर निगम हों, राज्य सरकारें हों या राष्ट्रीय राजमार्ग प्राधिकरण हो। सड़कों में पड़े गड्ढों की मुरम्मत की कोई नीति भी नहीं है। सड़कों के गड्ढों की मुरम्मत के प्रति संबंधित विभागों की उदासीनता को देखते हुए देश में कुछ स्थानों पर ऐसी दुर्घटनाओं के पीड़ितों ने अपने साथियों की मदद से इनके विरुद्ध अभियान शुरू कर रखा है। ऐसे लोगों में एक दुर्घटना में कुछ वर्ष पूर्व अपने ३ वर्षीय मासूम बेटे को खोने वाले फरीदाबाद के टैलीकॉम इंजीनियर श्री मनोज वधवा भी हैं जो भारत के राष्ट्रीय राजमार्ग प्राधिकरण और एक निजी निर्माण कंपनी के विरुद्ध गड्ढों के कारण हुई अपने बेटे की मौत की जिम्मेदारी निर्धारित करवाने के लिए लंबी कानूनी लड़ाई लड़ते आ रहे हैं। इसके साथ ही उन्होंने बाकायदा प्रशिक्षण लेकर सड़कों के गड्ढों भरना भी शुरू कर रखा है। इसी सिलसिले में उन्होंने २६ जनवरी को फरीदाबाद की सड़कों के गड्ढों भर कर सरकार की उदासीनता के प्रति आक्रोश व्यक्त किया। श्री वधवा का कहना है कि यदि हम कुछ गिने-चुने लोग सड़कों के गड्ढों भर सकते हैं तो फिर सरकारी एजैंसियां और ठेकेदार अपने तमाम संसाधनों के बावजूद ऐसा क्यों नहीं कर सकते? श्री वधवा और उनके साथियों का यह पग संबंधित विभागों और उनके अधिकारियों के मुंह पर बड़ा तमाचा है। लिहाजा सरकार को इसका संज्ञान लेते हुए सड़कों के गड्ढों भरने के लिए उचित पग उठाने चाहिएं ताकि इनसे होने वाली दुर्घटनाओं से परिवार तबाह न हों।विजय कुमार

होम देश जानिए कब-कब ट्रेन का टिकट कैंसल करने पर नहीं मिलता है रिफंड जानिए कब-कब ट्रेन का टिकट कैंसल करने पर नहीं मिलता है रिफंड नई दिल्ली। ऐसा कई बार होता है जब आप ट्रेन से यात्रा की तैयारी कर रहे होते हैं लेकिन ऐनमौके पर आपका प्लान चेंज हो जाता है। रेलवे यात्रियों के दिमाग में ट्रेनों को लेकर सबसे ज्यादा सवाल टिकट कैंसल कराने पर मिलने वाले रिफंड को लेकर होते हैं। ट्रेन के टिकट के कैंसलेशन के बाद रिफंड मिलना कई फैक्टर्स पर निर्भर करता है। यहां जानिए किन स्थितियों में आपको टिकट कैंसलेशन का रिफंड के तौर पर एक भी रुपया नहीं मिलेगा : तत्काल टिकट: आप यात्रा की तारीख से एक दिन पहले तत्काल टिकट बुक कर सकते हैं। अगर आपके पास कंफर्म तत्काल टिकट है और आप इसे कैंसल करना चाहते हैं तो आपको कोई रिफंड नहीं मिलेगा। अगर आपका तत्काल टिकट वेटिंग में है तब रेलवे नियमों के मुताबिक कुछ राशि काट ली जाएगी और बाकी आपको रिफंड हो जाएगा। कंफर्म्ड टिकट: ट्रेन आने के चार घंटे पहले तक अगर आपने कंफर्म्ड टिकट कैंसल नहीं किया और टीडीआर यानी टिकट डिपॉजिट रिसीट फाइल नहीं की है तो कोई भी रिफंड नहीं मिल पाएगा। रैक ई-टिकट: अगर आपके पास रिजर्वेशन एगेन्स्ट कैंसलेशन (रैक) ई-टिकट है और आपने ट्रेन के डिपार्चर समय के ३० मिनट पहले कैंसल नहीं किया है तो आपको कोई रिफंड नहीं मिलेगा। वेटिंग के साथ आई-टिकट: ट्रेन के शेड्यूल्ड डिपार्चर से ३० मिनट पहले कम्प्युटराइज्ड पैसेंजर रिजर्वेशन सिस्टम (प्र) काउंटर से आई-टिकट कैंसल किया जा सकता है। यह रैक या वेटिंग टिकट्स भी सच है। इसके बाद कोई रिफंड जनरेट नहीं किया जाता है। प्रीमियम स्पेशल ट्रेन में बुकिंग: प्रीमियम स्पेशल ट्रेनों के लिए आईआरसीटीसी नियमों के अनुसार, कंफर्म्ड या रैक टिकट कैंसलेशन की अनुमति नहीं है। टिकट केवल तभी कैंसल हो सकते हैं अगर ट्रेन रद्द हो जाए। आंशिक रूप से कंफर्म्ड ई-टिकट: ट्रेन के निर्धारित प्रस्थान के ३० मिनट पहले अगर टिकट कैंसल नहीं किया गया और टद्र फाइल नहीं हुआ तो कोई रिफंड नहीं होगा। यही नियम रैक और वेटिंग टिकट्स के लिए भी लागू होता है। आई-टिकट खो जाए: यदि आपका आई-टिकट गुम हो जाता है, तो आप कैंसलेशन का लाभ नहीं उठा सकते हैं। हालांकि, रेलवे आपको एक डुप्लिकेट आई-टिकट जारी कर सकते हैं।
यू देखा जाये तो हिंदी बहुत फ़ेवर करती है स्त्रियों को.. हिंदी, यानि की हमारी मात्र भाषा किसी भी व्यक्ति, वस्तु, या काम को स्त्री या पुरुष रूप देकर व्यक्त करती है. जैसे अंगेजी भाषा में सहायक क्रिया हम करता के हिसाब से लगा कर वाक्य बनाते है, मैं जाता हू 'ई गो' और वो जाता है 'है गोस' होता है उसी तरह हिंदी में हम करता या क्रिया को स्त्रीलिंग या पुलिंग मान कर व्यक्त करते हैं. जैसे की, हवा चलती है; इस वाकया में हवा को स्त्रीलिंग मानकर बात कही जा रही और गुस्सा आता है; इस वाक्य में गुस्से को पुल्लिंग में व्यक्त किया जा रहा. मज़े की बात तो ये है की हिंदी स्त्रीलिंग को ज्यादा से ज्यादा अच्छे शब्द देती है और बड़े सारे बुरे शब्द पुल्लिंग माने जाते हैं. देखिये ज़रा, ख़ुशी होती है पर दुःख होता है. अब ख़ुशी जो सब चाहते हैं वो स्त्रीलिंग माना जाता है और दुःख बेचारा पुरुष के रूप में व्यक्त किया जाता है. अब गौर कीजिये ज़रा की आप किसी को कोयल या बुलबुल कहे वो व्यक्ति खुश ही होगा. ये कोयल भी स्त्रीलिंग से है और बुलबुल भी दोनों गाती है गता नहीं. पर यु अगर आप किसी को कौवा या गिद्ध कह दे तो फिर सामने वाला आपसे चिढ़ने में देर नहीं करेगा. ये कौवा और गिद्ध तो पुरुष मने जानते है हिंदीं भाषा के. इसी तरह नदी को स्त्रीलिंग और पहाड़ को पुल्लिंग मानती है ये भाषा. किसी की तुलना नदी से की जाये तो मतलब होता है तारीफ पर किसी को पहाड़ कहो तो मतलब कतई तारीफ वाला नहीं होगा. परीक्षा होती है यानि स्त्रीलिंग पर रिजल्ट आता है यानि पुल्लिंग. कृपा होती है पर श्राप लगता है. दवाई आती है पर रोग लगता है. मित्रता (दोस्ती) होती है पर द्वेष (झगड़ा) होता है बिल्डिंग बनती है पर पेड़ काटते हैं. शादी होती है पर तलाक होता है. सभी अच्छे त्यौहार स्त्रीलिंग जैसे होली आती है, दिवाली आती है, ईद आती है. रौशनी होती है यानि स्त्रीलिंग पर अँधेरा होता है यानि पुल्लिंग. मन की भावनाओ को देखिये, मुस्कान या हँसी आती है पर रोना आता है दुःख होता है. मज़ा आती है पर डर लगता है. प्राकृतिक आपदाये जैसे भूकंप सुनामी पुल्लिंग है और प्रकृति के वरदान जैसे हवा, धूप, बारिश स्त्रीलिंग. ये सभी बातें ये इशारा करती है की हिंदी भाषा स्त्रियों का कितना सम्मान करती है तभी तो सब अच्छी अच्छी बातें स्त्रीलिंग में की जाती है हिंदी में. खैर ये बस एक नजरिया है जिसके खिलाफ भी बहुत सारे तर्क है और मैं किसी स्त्री/ पुरुष या भाषा का अपमान करने के लिए नहीं लिख रही.. बस हिंदी भाषा का ये एक रोचक नजरिया देखिये.

भारत की करारी हार, घाना अंतिम सोलह में नई दिल्ली, १२ अक्तूबर (भाषा) : कोलंबिया के खिलाफ पिछले मैच में कुछ अच्छा प्रदर्शन करके उम्मीद जगाने वाली भारतीय टीम आज यहां घाना के कप्तान एरिक अयाह और उनके दमदार साथियों के सामने पस्त नजर आयी और अफ्रीकी टीम ने एकतरफा मुकाबले में ४-० से जीत दर्ज करके फीफा अंडर-१७ विश्व कप के प्री क्वार्टर फाइनल में अपनी जगह सुरक्षित की। घाना की तरफ से एरिक अयाह (४3वें और ५२वें मिनट) ने दो जबकि स्थानापन्न रिकार्डो डान्सो (८६वें) और इमानुअल टोकु (८७वें मिनट) ने एक-एक गोल दागा। मैच के बाद भारतीय खिलाड़ियों विशेषकर धीरज सिंह की आंखों में आंसू थे जिन्होंने आज कुछ अच्छे बचाव किये। भारत तीनों मैच हारकर टूर्नामेंट से बाहर हो गया। भारत को लगातार तीसरे मैच में हार का सामना करना पड़ा। पिछले मैच में कोलंबिया के खिलाफ अच्छा प्रदर्शन करने के बाद भारत से उम्मीद बंध गयी थी लेकिन दो बार का चैंपियन घाना उससे खेल के हर क्षेत्र में अव्वल साबित हुआ। घाना ने इस जीत से तीन मैचों में छह अंक के साथ ग्रुप ए में पहले स्थान पर रहकर अंतिम सोलह में पहुंचा। कोलंबिया और अमरीका के भी छह-छह अंक रहे लेकिन गोल अंतर में वे क्रमश: दूसरे और तीसरे स्थान पर खिसक गये। घाना के खिलाड़ी कद काठी में काफी मजबूत थे लेकिन भारतीयों ने फुर्ती और कौशल के मामले में उन्हें शुरु में बराबर की टक्कर दी। खेल आगे बढ़ने के साथ हालांकि अंतर साफ नजर आने लगा और अफ्रीकी टीम का दबदबा बढ़ता गया।

अन्ना हजारे- एक ऐसा नाम जो लाखों लोगों को अपनी बातों से, अपने उद्देश्य से सबको एक धागे में पिरोये हुए है। आज के भारत का एक ऐसा शख्स जिसके लिये कहा जा रहा है कि भारत में ऐसा कोई नेता या अभिनेता नहीं जो इतनी भारी भीड़ को सात दिनों तक मैदान में इकट्ठा कर सके। अन्ना अनशन क्यों कर रहे हैं ये सभी को पता है इसलिये आपका ज्यादा समय नहीं लूँगा। जनलोकपाल का समर्थन पाने की चाह में आज लगातार आठवें दिन उनका अनशन जारी है। ऑफ़िस के कुछ साथी रविवार की कड़ी धूप में रामलीला मैदान, दिल्ली पहुँचे। मैं जैसे ही नई दिल्ली मेट्रो स्टेशन में मेट्रो से बाहर निकला मुझे हाथ में तिरंगे लिये, मुँह पर वन्देमातरम का राग व अन्ना के साथ उनके संघर्ष में उनके साथ रहने की प्रतिज्ञा करते हुए झुंड के झुंड रामलीला मैदान की ओर जा रहे हैं। स्टेशन के अंदर ही सैकड़ों लोग व तिरंगे.. आज़ाद भारत के इतिहास में ऐसे मौके कम ही आये होंगे जब स्वतंत्रता दिवस से भी अधिक झंडे सड़कों पर दिखाये दे रहे हों। जितने लोग मैदान में थे उससे कहीं अधिक लोग सड़कों पर थे। आपके लिये कुछ तस्वीरें रामलीला मैदान से ही... नारे लगाते लोगों के कुछ वीडियो भी... "मितवा" गाने पर आकाश में स्वच्छंद उड़ते पंछियों को देख कर लगा कि शायद अब देश आज़ाद होगा.. अब कुछ ऐसे चित्र भी जो ये सोचने पर मजबूर करेंगे कि लोकपाल भ्रष्टाचार से मुक्ति दिलवा भी दे फिर भी इस कथित "सभ्य समाज" में सभ्य लोगों की कहीं कमी सी है। कूड़ा फ़ैलाना हमारा जन्मसिद्ध अधिकार है.... लाइन तोड़ते और बिना हेलमेट व चार लोग एक बाइक पर..ऐसे दृश्य आम देखे जा सकते थे... ये सब देखकर कहीं से लगा नहीं कि ये लोग भ्रष्टाचार के खिलाफ़ साथ देने आये हैं... भ्रष्टाचार तो केवल एक राक्षस है... हर आदमी में जो राक्षस पल रहा है जब तक उसके लिये लोकपाल नहीं आयेगा तब तक यह देश आज़ाद नहीं होगा। आज़ादी की लड़ाई हमने नहीं देखी...पर रविवार को हमने देखा कि आज़ादी ऐसे ही मिली होगी। नेताओं के भ्रष्टाचार तो हमें दिखता है और लोकपाल से साठ प्रतिशत दूर भी हो जाये परन्तु क्या वो दिन भी आयेगा जब हम लाइसेंस के लिये दो हजार, मैरिज सर्टिफ़िकेट के लिये पाँच हजार व पासपोर्ट के लिये दो सौ रूपये न दें?

धामपुर। नेशनल हाइवे पर स्योहारा बाइपास के सामने ट्रक ने बाइक सवार भाइयों को टक्कर मार दी। इससे बाइक सवार एक युवक की मौत हो गई, जबकि दूसरा गंभीर रूप से घायल है। आक्रोशित लोगों ने हाइवे पर जाम लगाने का प्रयास किया, लेकिन पुलिस ने हल्का बल प्रयोग कर लोगों को खदेड़ दिया। घटना से करीब आधा घंटे तक हाइवे पर जाम की स्थिति बनी रहीं। पुलिस को वाहनों का रूट डायवर्ट कर निकाला। शेरकोट थाना क्षेत्र के गांव मंधौरा निवासी खुर्शीद (२० वर्षीय) और उसका भाई रईस धामपुर से अपने घर लौट रहे थे। बाइक रईस चला रहा था। स्योहारा बाइपास के सामने नेशनल हाइवे पर उनके पीछे एक ट्रक भी चल रहा था। अचानक सड़क में गड्ढा सामने आने पर रईस ने बाइक के ब्रेक लगा दिए। इस पर तीव्र गति से आ रहे ट्रक ने बाइक में टक्कर मार दी। इससे खुर्शीद की मौके पर ही मौत हो गई, जबकि रईस दूर जाकर गिरा। सूचना पर पहुंची पुलिस ने रईस को निजी अस्पताल में भर्ती कराया। घटना से आक्रोशित लोग हाइवे पर जाम लगाने लगे। एएसपी प्रबल प्रताप और सीओ हरेंद्र यादव ने लोगों को शांत करने का प्रयास किया। आक्रोशित लोगों के न मानने पर पुलिस को हल्का बल प्रयोग करना पड़ा। सीओ ने शव को ट्रक के नीचे से निकलवाकर तत्काल सीएचसी की मोचर्री में पहुंचवाया। सीओ के अनुसार दोनों भाइयों की नहटौर और शेरकोट में मोबाइल शॉप है। मृतक के बड़े भाई अनीस ने ट्रक चालक के खिलाफ रिपोर्ट दर्ज कराई है। नेशनल हाइवे पर खूब हैं गड्ढेनेशनल हाइवे पर तहसील क्षेत्र के धामपुर में विद्या मंदिर के समीप, आरएसएएम चौक, स्योहारा बाइपास, हाफिजाबाद, भूतपुरी, आलमपुर, अफजलगढ़, जिकरीवाला, रेहड़, थांथी फार्म, चोर खले की पुलिया, अंगदपुर समेत कई स्थानों गड्ढे़ बने हुए हैं। इनमें गिरकर आए दिन कई लोग घायल हो चुके हैं, लेकिन प्रशासनिक अधिकारियों ने इन गड्ढों को भरने में कोई रुचि नहीं दिखाई। कैसा लगा
बिजनेस स्टैंडर्ड - आभूषण की मांग ११ साल के निचले स्तर पर आभूषण की मांग ११ साल के निचले स्तर पर पुनीत वाधवा / नई दिल्ली ०५ ०१, २०२० भारत में स्वर्ण आभूषण के लिए मांग मार्च २०२० तिमाही में ४१ फीसदी घटकर ७३.९ टन रह गई, जो ११ साल का सबसे निचला स्तर है। विश्व स्वर्ण परिषद (डब्ल्यूजीसी) ने स्वर्ण मांग के रुझानों पर आधारित गुरुवार को जारी ताजा रिपोर्ट में कहा है कि कोरोनावायरस महामारी की वजह से सोने की कीमतों में तेजी को बढ़ावा मिला, जिससे मांग प्रभावित हुई। मांग में यह गिरावट दुनियाभर में दर्ज 3९ फीसदी के मुकाबले ज्यादा है। डब्ल्यूजीसी की रिपोर्ट में कहा गया है कि वहीं इस कीमती धातु के सबसे बड़े उपभोक्ता चीन में स्वर्ण आभूषण के लिए मांग समीक्षाधीन अवधि के दौरान ६५ फीसदी तक गिरकर ६४ टन के साथ १३ वर्ष के निचले स्तर पर आ गई। मूल्य के संदर्भ में, वैश्विक स्तर पर मांग में गिरावट सालाना आधार पर २६ फीसदी के साथ १६.६ अरब डॉलर पर रही, जो १० वर्ष का निचला स्तर है। डब्ल्यूजीसी ने कहा है, 'वैश्विक आभूषण मांग हमारी सीरीज में तिमाही आधार पर सबसे ज्यादा प्रभावित हुई और यह सालाना आधार पर ३९ फीसदी गिरकर ३२५.८ टन रह गई। यह 55८.१ टन के पांच वर्ष के तिमाही औसत से ४२ फीसदी नीचे है। दुनियाभर के आभूषण बाजारों ने नुकसान दर्ज किया है क्योंकि कोरोनावायरस का प्रभाव काफी अधिक देखा गया है और सोने की कीमतों में भारी इजाफा हुआ है।' कोरोना महामारी की वजह से स्वर्ण आपूर्ति भी बाधित हुई और खदान उत्पादन सालाना आधार पर ३ फीसदी घटकर ७९५.८ टन के पांच वर्षीय निचले स्तर पर रह गया। मांग पर दबाव बरकरार जहां तक भारत का सवाल है तो भले ही विवाद सीजन से मार्च २०२० तिमाही के शुरू में मांग बढ़ी थी, लेकिन फरवरी के मध्य से स्थानीय सोने की कीमतों में भारी तेजी से मांग प्रभावित हुई, क्योंकि उपभोक्ताओं ने खरीदारी टाल दी। वहीं लॉकडाउन की वजह से मांग पूरी तरह ठप हो गई है। डब्ल्यूजीसी के अनुमानों के अनुसार मार्च में आभूषण मांग में ६० से ८० फीसदी के बीच कमी आई। भारत में मार्च तिमाही में सोने की औसत कीमत ४१,१२४ रुपये प्रति १० ग्राम रही जो सालाना आधार पर २६.६ फीसदी ज्यादा है। डब्ल्यूजीसी का कहना है कि रुपये में कमजोरी के साथ साथ डॉलर संदर्भ में स्वर्ण कीमतों में तेजी से स्थानीय स्वर्ण कीमतें मार्च में ४४,३१५ रुपये के सर्वाधिक ऊंचे स्तर पर बंद हुईं। डब्ल्यूजीसी को भविष्य में स्वर्ण मांग पर दबाव बने रहने का अनुमान है क्योंकि लॉकडाउन मई में भी बना रहेगा। इससे अक्षय तृतीया के अलावा विवाह संबंधित खरीदारी के साथ-साथ अन्य अवसरों के दौरान भी सोने की मांग पर दबाव दिखेगा।

हर कोई कहता है कि कंप्यूटर दृष्टि रखता है। यह समझ में आता है, हम कंप्यूटर पर कम से कम आठ घंटे बिताते हैं। और स्मार्टफोन के बारे में क्या, जो अधिक से अधिक हो रहे हैं? आपके साथ एक कंप्यूटर केवल घर पर और कार्यालय में है, और एक स्मार्टफोन हर जगह और हमेशा होता है। हम सार्वजनिक परिवहन में, एक यात्रा पर, सड़क पर, एक कैफे में छोटी स्क्रीन देखते हैं। और यह एक कंप्यूटर से भी ज्यादा दृष्टि खराब करता है। क्या मैं इसे छोड़ दिए बिना स्मार्टफोन से नुकसान को कम कर सकता हूं? मैं लंबे समय से संपर्क लेंस पहन रहा हूं, और इस बार मेरी दृष्टि बहुत ज्यादा नहीं बदली, इसलिए मुझे हर बार निदान के माध्यम से जाने की भी आवश्यकता नहीं है-आप एक ही पर्चे खरीदते हैं, और यह ठीक है। लेकिन हाल ही में मैंने ध्यान दिया कि दूरस्थ वस्तुएं लेंस में भी अधिक अस्पष्ट हो रही हैं, और जब रिमोट संकेतों पर विचार करना जरूरी है तो आंखें तनावग्रस्त हो रही हैं। एक पल के विचार के बाद, मैंने इस बदलाव को एक स्मार्टफोन से जोड़ा, जिसमें लटकना मुश्किल नहीं है। अलग-अलग साइटों पर संक्रमण, स्मार्टफ़ोन पर पढ़ना, जब खाली समय, गेम, नोट्स हों। अगर मेरे खाली समय में मुझे इंटरनेट पर जाना है (जो साइट पर साइट पर हैंग-अप और संक्रमण से भरा हुआ है), मैं इसे स्मार्टफोन से करता हूं। बेशक, मैंने यह जांचने का फैसला किया कि मेरी धारणा कितनी उचित थी, और यह पता चला कि यह काफी था। बेशक, दृष्टि को नुकसान कम करने का अवसर है, लेकिन बाद में इस पर अधिक। समस्या के बारे में सबसे पहले। स्मार्टफोन कैसे दृष्टि खराब कर देता है जर्नल ऑफ ऑप्टोमेट्री और विजन साइंस में सूचना प्रकाशित हुई कि लोग अपने मोबाइल उपकरणों को बहुत करीब रखते हैं, जिससे दृष्टि तेजी से खराब हो रही है। इस पत्रिका के एक अध्ययन से पता चला है कि एक स्मार्टफोन और अन्य मोबाइल डिवाइस पर वेब पेज ब्राउज़ करके, लोग पाठ लिखते समय चार या छह सेंटीमीटर करीब रखते हैं। १२ ९ लोगों में से संपर्क लेंस का उपयोग करके परीक्षण किया गया, कोई भी १,२,१0 नियम का पालन नहीं करता है। यह नियम फोन को एक पैर की दूरी पर रखना है, यानी चेहरे से लगभग ३० सेमी, कंप्यूटर स्क्रीन दो फीट दूर होनी चाहिए, और टीवी दस फीट। एक स्मार्टफोन पर छवियां विभिन्न आकारों का हो सकती हैं, उदाहरण के लिए, एक बहुत छोटा फ़ॉन्ट जो पढ़ने में मुश्किल है। इसलिए, आप अनैच्छिक रूप से स्मार्टफोन को चेहरे के करीब लाते हैं। और आंकड़ों के अनुसार इन आंकड़ों की पुष्टि की जाती है। एक अध्ययन के परिणामस्वरूप, यह पता चला कि १ ९९ ७ की तुलना में लोगों की दृष्टि पूरी तरह से ३५% कम हो गई, जब स्मार्टफोन केवल आम हो गया। यह अध्ययन डेविड अलांबी, एक आंख सर्जन और लंदन फोकस क्लिनिक के संस्थापक द्वारा आयोजित किया गया था, जिन्होंने एक विशेष शब्द स्क्रीन मायोपिया भी पेश किया था। मायोपिया या मायोपिया कारकों के संयोजन से उत्पन्न होता है: नज़दीकी वस्तुओं के निरंतर विचार से आंखों पर आनुवंशिकता और तनाव, उदाहरण के लिए, पढ़ना। वास्तव में, एक स्मार्टफोन का उपयोग कंप्यूटर के साथ पढ़ने या काम करने जैसा ही होता है, केवल अंतर यह है कि हम स्मार्टफोन को चेहरे के बहुत करीब लाते हैं, और आंखों के लिए वस्तु पर ध्यान केंद्रित करना अधिक कठिन होता है। समस्या स्पष्ट है, लेकिन क्या करना है? शायद सबसे अच्छा विकल्प स्मार्टफोन को त्यागने के लिए, लेकिन यह असंभव है। हम बेहतर लेंस पहनेंगे, क्योंकि वे अच्छी दृष्टि का भ्रम देते हैं। कम से कम, आप स्मार्टफोन और अन्य मोबाइल गैजेट्स का उपयोग करने से नुकसान को कम कर सकते हैं, और यहां ७ युक्तियां हैं कि इसे कैसे करें। १. अधिक बार झपकी जब आप किसी स्मार्टफ़ोन की स्क्रीन देखते हैं, तो आप सामान्य से तीन गुना कम झपकी देते हैं। इससे शुष्क आंखों की भावना होती है। ऐसा लगता है कि इसमें कुछ भी भयानक नहीं है, लेकिन निरंतर सूखापन दृष्टि को नुकसान पहुंचा सकता है। २. नियम २0/२0/२0 जब आप किसी स्मार्टफ़ोन पर पढ़ते हैं, मूवी देखते हैं या साइट से साइट पर जाते हैं, तो हर २० मिनट स्क्रीन से आपकी आंखें लेते हैं, और २० सेकंड के लिए, २० फीट की दूरी पर दूरी में देखें (यह लगभग ६ मीटर है)। ३. प्रकाश का पालन करें अंधेरे कमरे में अपने स्मार्टफोन पर पढ़ने या बजाना भूल जाओ। प्रकाश की कमी, स्क्रीन की उज्ज्वल बैकलाइटिंग के साथ, आंखों के लिए खराब है, इसलिए डिवाइस को केवल एक अच्छी तरह से प्रकाशित कमरे में या दिन के उजाले में उपयोग करने का प्रयास करें। ४. आपसे बात करते समय फोन में नज़र डालें जब कोई आपसे बात करते समय स्मार्टफोन देखता है तो यह बहुत परेशान होता है, और यदि वे दोनों ऐसा करते हैं, तो एक दुखद तस्वीर आम तौर पर निकलती है। बस ऐसा करने से रोकें, अपने साथी को अपना पूरा ध्यान १००% दें, और इससे आपको स्क्रीन के सामने बिताए गए समय को कम करने में मदद मिलेगी, और इसलिए आंखों का स्वास्थ्य। ५. केवल डेस्कटॉप पर अपने आप को एक नियम निर्धारित करें, स्मार्टफोन से कोई भी क्रिया न करें। उदाहरण के लिए, सोशल नेटवर्क या ई-मेल की जांच न करें, समाचार या रुचि के लेख न पढ़ें। एक छोटे से स्क्रीन स्मार्टफोन के सामने बिताए गए समय को कम करने का यह एक और मौका है। ६. फ़ॉन्ट को बड़ा बनाएं स्मार्टफोन को विशाल या कम से कम बड़ा के रूप में सेट करें। कुछ पढ़ने के प्रयास में फ़ॉन्ट जितना बड़ा होगा, आंखें कम होंगी। मोबाइल वेब सेवा अनुप्रयोगों का उपयोग करने और उन साइटों से बचने का प्रयास करें जो स्मार्टफ़ोन स्क्रीन पर अनुकूलित नहीं हैं। ७. इसे सही रखें जैसा कि पहले बताया गया है, आंखों के लिए मुख्य क्षति इस तथ्य से आती है कि हम स्मार्टफोन को चेहरे के बहुत करीब रखते हैं। खुद को देखें आप अपने डिवाइस को चेहरे से कितनी दूरी पर रखते हैं? यह असंभव है कि यह ४० सेंटीमीटर, शायद ३० या २० भी डाल दिया गया है? किसी भी मामले में, आप इसे आंखों के करीब लाते हैं, तेज़ मायोपिया विकसित होता है। इसलिए, यदि आप २०-३० सालों में खराब नजर नहीं रखना चाहते हैं, तो अपने स्मार्टफोन की स्क्रीन के पीछे जितना संभव हो उतना समय बिताने का प्रयास करें, और इसे सही दूरी पर रखें। १ स्मार्टफोन कैसे दृष्टि खराब कर देता है २ १. अधिक बार झपकी ३ २. नियम २0/२0/२0 ४ ३. प्रकाश का पालन करें ५ ४. आपसे बात करते समय फोन में नज़र डालें ६ ५. केवल डेस्कटॉप पर ७ ६. फ़ॉन्ट को बड़ा बनाएं ८ ७. इसे सही रखें

महाकालेश्वर मन्दिर में धर्म के नाम पर | राष्ट्र उत्थान के प्रति समर्पित सही विषय उठाया है. धर्म के नाम पर घोटाला बाजो को संरक्षण मिलने के दिन अब लदने चाहिए. कुछ बाबाओं को टीवी वालो ने पकड़ा भी था, मगर सब की दुकनदारी आज भी मजे से चल रही है. लोग अपने पाप काटने (कम करने) के लिए मन्दिरों में पूजा व दान पुण्य करते हैं। कुछ लोग कौओं को, कुछ भिखारियों, कंगालों को, कुछ लोग साँड को, कुछ लोग कुत्तों को तो कुछ लोग मछलियों को खिलाते हैं। भगवान(मूर्ति) तो स्वयं कुछ खाते नहीं है, भक्त ही उनके नाम पर लगा प्रसाद खाते हैं। यदि भगवान के सेवक (उर्फ, कौवे, कंगले, कुत्ते) ऐसे बरसते पानी(दान) में से दो घूँट पी लें तो क्या खराब है, क्या यह उनका हक नहीं? वर्तमान युग में सबसे बड़ा पुण्य कार्य (पाप कम करने हेतु) तो होगा, कि अधिकाधिक वृक्ष लगाएँ, उनकी सिंचाईं करें, ग्लोबल वार्मिंग कम करने, भूमिगत जल के स्तर को ऊँचा उठाने में सहयोग दें। मन्दिरों, आश्रमों, मठों में दान-पुण्य करना, और किसी राजनैतिक पार्टी को चन्दा देना और किसी गुण्डे/डाकू/शराबी/दादा को दिहाड़ी (टैक्स) देना लगभग बराबर ही है। लेकिन आम जनता को सबको कुछ न कुछ देना ही पड़ता है, नहीं तो जीना दूभर हो जाएगा उसका। जे हुई ना बात, सही मुद्दे पे लिखा भाया आपने!! यह हाल देश के तकरीबन सभी मंदिरों का है!!
मनुष्य के पैसे के साथ एक अजीब रिश्ता है निम्नलिखित को धयान मे रखते हुए: क्यों लोगों को कुछ बेवकूफों पर फुटपाथ पर पाया पैसा खर्च करने की संभावना है? यह मानसिक लेखा का एक विशिष्ट उदाहरण है, एक अवधारणा रिचर्ड थालर द्वारा गढ़ी गई है। सिद्धांत के अनुसार, लोगों को औपचारिक लेखांकन के रूप [] क्या जानवरों की भावनाएं हैं? एक वाद विवाद बिल्लियों, कुत्तों और चिंपांज जैसे नॉन-इंसान के जानवरों को खुशी, उदासी, भय और क्रोध जैसी भावनाएं हैं? जानवरों की भावनाओं के फैसले का औचित्य सिद्ध करने के लिए किस तरह की तर्क की आवश्यकता है? यहां पशु भावनाओं के एक अधिवक्ता और एक संदेहास्पद के बीच एक संवाद है। एडवोकेट: यह स्पष्ट है कि मनुष्य [] एफबीआई परिभाषित करता है "बलात्कार" किसी भी गैर-अनुवादात्मक सम्मिलन के रूप में शरीर के भाग या योनि, मुंह, या गुदा में ऑब्जेक्ट। "यौन उत्पीड़न" में बलात्कार का प्रयास किया गया है या किसी भी मजबूर, गैर-संवेदी सेक्स अच्छी खबर यह है कि, १ ९९ ० के बाद से अमेरिका में अन्य हिंसक अपराधों की तरह, [] शराब, मॉडरेशन में, आपको वजन कम करने में मदद मिल सकती है और हार्ट अटैक के जोखिम कम हो सकता है तलाक अपनी शक्ति वापस लेना क्या फेसबुक हमें नरसंहार कर रहा है? कैसे बच्चों के साहित्य नरसंहार और हिंसा के लिए लिंक क्या आप बच्चे को मुक्त होने से पृथ्वी को बचाने में मदद करेंगे? अमेरिका का तनाव परीक्षण: हमारी आत्मीयता की अनदेखी ७ वजहें क्यों रिश्तों में धोखा देती हैं महिलाएं क्या मैं अपने बच्चे का दोस्त बनना चाहता हूँ? एपिजेनेटिक संबंध: जैविक जातिवाद की प्रतिनियुक्ति? हम उन पुरुषों का मज़ा क्यों देते हैं जो एक साथ लटकाते हैं? इन माताओं के साथ क्या हो रहा है? मातृत्व एक प्रतिबद्धता है! झूठी कपड़ों में एक भेड़ प्रेरक एड नॉर्वे के साथ गलत क्या है? इस हॉलिडे सीजन में दूसरों के लिए अच्छा प्रदर्शन करना

जंतु कोशिका एवं पादप कोशिका के संदर्भ में निम्नलिखित में से कौन सा कथन सत्य है? माइटोकाँड्रिया केवल जंतु कोशिकाओं के लिये ही ऊर्जा गृह के रूप में कार्य करता है। कोशिका भित्ति केवल पादप कोशिका की ही विशेषता है। दोनों ही कोशिकाओं में प्लाज्मा झिल्ली कार्बोहाइड्रेट से बनी होती हैं। लाइसोसोम कोशिकाओं के लिये प्रोटीन संश्लेषण का कार्य करता है। कोशिका भित्ति (सेल वाल) केवल पादप कोशिकाओं में पाई जाती है। यह पादप कोशिकाओं के चारों ओर बाह्य आवरण के रूप में स्थित होती है। यह हरे पौधे में मुख्य रूप से सेल्युलोज से बनी होती हैं। जंतु कोशिकाओं में कोशिका भित्ति का अभाव होता है। माइटोकाँड्रिया जंतु कोशिकाओं एवं पादप कोशिकाओं दोनों के लिये ऊर्जा गृह के रूप में कार्य करता है । जंतु एवं पादप दोनों ही कोशिकाओं में प्लाज्मा झिल्ली प्रोटीन एवं लिपिड से बनी होती हैं। कोशिकाओं के लिये प्रोटीन संश्लेषण का कार्य अंतःद्रव्य जालिका (एंडोप्लास्मिक रेटिक्यूलम) और राइबोसोम (रीबोसोम) करते हैं। लाइसोसोम को कोशिका की आत्महत्या की थैली कहा जाता है। उपर्युक्त में से कौन-सा/से ऊतक पौधों के तनों की वृद्धि के लिये ज़िम्मेदार है/हैं ? प्ररोह के शीर्षस्थ विभज्योतक जड़ों एवं तनों की वृद्धि वाले भाग में विद्यमान रहते है तथा वे इनकी लम्बाई में वृद्धि करते हैं। एन्डोसाइटोसिस (एण्डोसाइटोसिस) का संबंध निम्नलिखित में से किससे है? यह पादप कोशिकाओं में होने वाला एक रोग है। यह किसी कोशिका द्वारा अपशिष्ट उत्सर्जन की प्रक्रिया है। यह किसी कोशिका के बाह्य पर्यावरण से अपना भोजन तथा अन्य पदार्थ ग्रहण करने की प्रक्रिया है। इससे पौधों की वृद्धि नकारात्मक रूप से प्रभावित होती है। व्याख्याः कोशिका में उपस्थित प्लाज़्मा झिल्ली लचीली होती है। इसका लचीलापन किसी कोशिका के बाह्य पर्यावरण से अपना भोजन तथा अन्य पदार्थ ग्रहण करने में सहायता करता है। ऐसी प्रक्रिया को एन्डोसाइटोसिस कहते हैं। अमीबा अपना भोजन इसी प्रक्रिया द्वारा प्राप्त करता है। अतः कथन च सही है । कोशिका के संदर्भ में निम्नलिखित कथनों पर विचार कीजियेः १. कोशिका में उपस्थित प्लाज़्मा झिल्ली वरणात्मक पारगम्य (सेलेक्टिवली परमीबल) होती है। २. कोशिका में जल और गैसों का आवागमन विसरण तथा परासरण के माध्यम से होता है। प्लाज़्मा झिल्ली को वरणात्मक (चयनात्मक) पारगम्य झिल्ली भी कहा जाता है, क्योंकि यह कुछ पदार्थों को अंदर अथवा बाहर आने-जाने देती है तथा कुछ अन्य पदार्थों की गति को रोकती भी है। अतः कथन १ सही है। कोशिकाओं में गैसों तथा जल के आदान-प्रदान, पोषण ग्रहण करना तथा कोशिका से विभिन्न अणुओं का अंदर-बाहर गमन सब विसरण के माध्यम से होता है। जल भी विसरण के नियमों के अनुकूल ही व्यवहार करता है। इस प्रकार जल के अणुओं की झिल्ली के आर-पार आवागमन परासरण कहलाता है। परासरण विसरण की एक विशिष्ट विधि है। एक कोशिकीय अलवणीय जलीय जीव तथा अधिकांश पादप कोशिकाएँ परासरण द्वारा जल ग्रहण करते हैं। पौधों के मूल द्वारा जल का अवशोषण परासरण का एक उदाहरण है। अतः कथन २ भी सही है। उल्लेखनीय है कि परासरण द्वारा जलग्रहण की प्रक्रिया जीवित एवं मृत दोनों कोशिकाओं में संपन्न होती है। कोशिका में पाए जाने वाले क्रोमोसोम के संदर्भ में निम्नलिखित कथनों में से कौन-सा सही नहीं है ? ये कोशिका के केन्द्रक में उपस्थित होते हैं। ये डी.एन.ए. तथा प्रोटीन से निर्मित होते हैं। ये अनुवांशिक गुणों के लिये उत्तरदायी होते हैं। मनुष्य में सामान्यतः २४ जोड़े क्रोमोसोम पाए जाते हैं। कोशिकाओं में केन्द्रक उपस्थित होता है जिसके चारों ओर केंद्रक झिल्ली होती है । क्रोमोसोम केन्द्रक में होते हैं।जो कोशिका विभाजन के समय छड़ाकार(रोड शेपद)दिखाई पड़ते हैं। क्रोमोसोम में अनुवांशिक गुण होते हैं जो माता पिता से अगली सन्तति में स्थानांतरित हो जाते है। अतः कथन आ सही है । क्रोमोसोम डी.एन.ए .और प्रोटीन के बने होते हैं डी.एन.ए. में अणु कोशिका के निर्माण तथा संगठन की सभी आवश्यक सूचनाएं होती हैं डीएनए के क्रियात्मक खंड को जीन कहते है । अतः कथन ब सही है । जब कोशिका विभाजित नहीं हो रही होती है उस समय यह डीक्रोमैटिन पदार्थ के रूप में डी.एन.ए विद्यमान रहता है।क्रोमैटिन पदार्थ धागे की तरह की रचनाओं का एक जाल पिंड होता है ।जब कभी भी कोशिका विभाजित होने वाली होती है ,तब क्रोमोसोम में संगठित हो जाता है। अतः कथन च सही है। मनुष्य में सामान्यतः २३ जोड़े क्रोमोसोम पाए जाते हैं।अतः कथन ड गलत है। १. कोशिका की खोज रॉबर्ट हुक ने की थी। २. ल्यूवेनहक ने बैक्टीरिया की खोज की थी। ३. रॉबर्ट ब्राउन ने कोशिका में केंद्रक का पता लगाया। रॉबर्ट ब्राउन ने १८३१ में कोशिका में केंद्रक का पता लगाया। कोशिकाओं में अणुओं का यातायात प्रबंधन का कार्य निम्नलिखित में से किसके द्वारा संपादित किया जाता है? कोशिकाओं में अणुओं का यातायात प्रबंधन का कार्य गॅाल्जी काय (गोलगी बॉडी) द्वारा संपादित किया जाता है। उल्लेखनीय है कि गॅाल्जी काय (गोलगी बॉडी) रक्त कोशिकाओं को छोड़कर सभी यूकैरियोटिक कोशिकाओं में गुच्छे के रूप में पाए जाते हैं। यह कोशिका भित्ति एवं लाइसोसोम का निर्माण करते हैं। पेशीय ऊतक के संदर्भ में निम्नलिखित कथनों में कौन सा असत्य है? यह ऊतक प्राणियों में गति के लिये उत्तरदायी है। ह्रदय का निर्माण पेशीय ऊतक से हुआ है। मलाशय एवं मूत्राशय में अरेखित पेशीय ऊतक से बने हैं। रक्तवाहिनियाँ रेखित पेशीय ऊतक से बनी होती हैं। व्याख्या: कथन (ड) असत्य है। रक्तवाहिनियाँ अरेखित पेशीय ऊतक से बनी होती हैं। उल्लेखनीय है कि प्राणियों में गति पेशीय ऊतक के कारण होती है। पेशियाँ गमन के अतिरिक्त अन्य कार्यों से भी संबंधित होती हैं। जैसे:- सांस लेना, परिवहन, जनन, उत्सर्जन आदि। पेशीय ऊतक तीन प्रकार के होते हैं- रेखित पेशियाँ, अरेखित पेशियाँ और ह्रदय पेशियाँ। रेखित पेशीय ऊतक शरीर की उन भागों में पाए जाते हैं, जो इच्छानुसार गति करते हैं। जैसे:- हाथ, पैर, गर्दन इत्यादि। अरेखित पेशीय ऊतक शरीर के उन अंगों की दीवारों में पाए जाते हैं। जो अनैच्छिक रूप से गति करते हैं। जैसे आहारनाल, मूत्राशय, मलाशय, रक्तवाहिनियाँ आदि। ह्रदय पेशियाँ केवल ह्रदय की दीवारों में पाई जाती हैं। इन्हीं पेशियों में संकुचन एवं शिथिलन से ह्रदय का संकुचन एवं शिथिलन होता है। तंत्रिका ऊतक/कोशिका के संदर्भ में निम्नलिखित कथनों में कौन-सा असत्य है? यह शरीर के समस्त अंगों एवं कार्यों में सामंजस्य स्थापित करता है। तंत्रिका कोशिका शरीर की सबसे छोटी कोशिका होती है। शरीर में सर्वाधिक तंत्रिका कोशिकाएँ मस्तिष्क में पाई जाती है। तंत्रिका ऊतक का निर्माण भ्रूण की एक्टोडर्म द्वारा होता है। व्याख्या: कथन (ब) गलत है। तंत्रिका कोशिका शरीर की सबसे लंबी कोशिका होती है। तंत्रिका कोशिका को न्यूरॅान कहा जाता है। संयोजी ऊतक के संदर्भ में निम्नलिखित युग्मों पर विचार कीजिये: ऊतक संयोजी अंग १. कांडरा (टेंडन्स) पेशी को अस्थि से २. स्नायु (लिगामेंट) अस्थि को अस्थि से उपर्युक्त युग्मों में कौन सा/से सत्य है/हैं? व्याख्या: संयोजी ऊतक शरीर में विभिन्न अंगों और ऊतकों को जोड़ने का कार्य करता है। उल्लेखनीय है कि कांडरा (टेंडन्स) और स्नायु (लिगामेंट) विशेष प्रकार के संयोजी ऊतक हैं। कांडरा (टेंडन्स) पेशी को अस्थि से जोड़ता है और स्नायु (लिगामेंट) अस्थि को अस्थि से जोड़ता है।

खबर के बाद हरकत में आया उच्च शिक्षा विभाग, हेल्प सेंटर बने कॉलेजों को जारी किए निर्देश, मांगी रिपोर्ट - कैम्पस के अंदर बाहरी लोगों की आवाजाही प्रतिबंधित की जाए। - केवल छात्रों को पहचान के आधार पर प्रवेश दिया जाए। - यदि कोई छात्र शिकायत करता है तो तत्काल पंजीबद्ध किया जाए। - कैम्पस में आवश्यकता पडऩे पर पुलिस की मदद ली जाए। बीएड एवं एमएड की प्रवेश प्रक्रिया को लेकर हेल्प सेंटरों में निजी कॉलेजों के एजेंटो के कैम्पस के अंदर बने रहने और सेटिंग से छात्र-छात्राओं के आवेदनों में बदलाव कर अपने कॉलेज में प्रवेश दिलाने के मामलों को लेकर उच्च शिक्षा विभग ने गंभीरता से लिया है। सख्त रुख अपनाते हुए एेसे हेल्प सेंटरों में पुलिस की निगरानी में प्रक्रिया कराने के लिए संबंधित कॉलेज प्राचार्यों को निर्देशित किया गया है। साथ ही इस तरह की शिकायतों की पूरी रिपोर्ट संबंधित सेंटरों से तलब की है। किन कॉलेजों के खिलाफ छात्र-छात्राओं ने शिकायत की गई हैं उनके आवेदन भी सेंटरों के माध्यम से तलब करने के लिए कहा गया है। विदित हो कि प्रदेश के कॉलेजों में बीएड एवं एमएड सत्र २०१९-२० की प्रवेश प्रक्रिया शुरू की गई है, शहर में करीब दो दर्जन एेसे कॉलेज हैं। शहर में बने हैं चार हेल्प सेंटर बीएड, एमएड की ऑनलाइन आवेदन प्रक्रिया को लेकर शहर में चार हेल्प सेंटर बनाए गए हैं। इनमें शासकीय महाकोशल कॉलेज, मानुकंवर बाई कॉलेज, साइंस कॉलेज एवं होमसाइंस कॉलेज शामिल है। हेल्प सेंटरों में विजयनगर, सालीवाडा़, आईटीआई, दमोहनाका, सिविल लाइंस, कटंगी, नेपियर टाउन आदि क्षेत्रों के बीएड-एमएड कॉलेजों की लिस्टिंग कर सेंटर दिए गए हैं। साइंस कॉलेज को एमएड वेरिफिकेशन के लिए अधिकृत किया गया है। मदद के बहाने बदल रहे हैं च्वाइस निजी कॉलेजों द्वारा हेल्प सेंटरों में शिक्षकों को खड़ा किया है ताकि वेरिफिकेशन में मदद की जा सके। लेकिन ये कथित शिक्षक एजेंट मदद के बहाने छात्र-छात्राओं को दस्तावेज लेकर मोबाइल नंबर बदलकर ओटीपी की मदद से च्वाइस फिलिंग में बदलाव कर रहे हैं। ताकि अपने कॉलेज में दाखिला करवाया जा सके। इसके लिए कॉलेज प्रबंधन के साथ शिक्षक भी जमघट लगाए रहते हैं। पीडि़त छात्र छाया ग्रोवर, रजनी, अमित कुमार, अजय पटेल आदि ने विभिन्न कॉलेजों की शिकायत उच्च शिक्षा विभाग से की है। -शिकायतों को देखते हुए रिपोर्ट मांगी है। संबंधित कॉलेजों के प्राचार्यों, विवि प्रशासन को आदेशित किया है कि हेल्प सेंटरों में बाहरी व्यक्तियों के प्रवेश को पूरी तरह वर्जित किया जाए। इसके लिए पुलिस प्रशासन की मदद ली जाए। निर्देशों का यदि संबंधित सेंटरों में पालन होता नहीं मिलता है तो सख्त कार्रवाई की जाएगी। -डॉ.धीरेंद्र शुक्ला, ओएसडी, उच्च शिक्षा विभाग बीफार्मा, बीएएलएलबी में रेकॉर्ड आवेदन, रादुविवि ने ५ दिन पहले ही प्रवेश प्रक्रिया रोकी फिर क्लियर हो जाता है कान्सेप्ट यहां होता है स्टूडेंट्स और पैरेंट्स का आइक्यू लेबल टेस्ट दिनभर निकालते हैं रेत, रात होते ही शुरू हो जाती ढुलाई अध्यक्ष पद पर त्रिकोणीय मुकाबला
मुंबई का ज ज हॉस्पिटल कोविड-१९ मरीजों को स्थानांतरित करने के लिए एक संपर्क कम परिवहन कक्ष विकसित करता है एट हेल्थवर्ल्ड शौत्मगीक्स मुंबई: अपने चिकित्सा कर्मचारियों के बीच कोरोनोवायरस संक्रमण के प्रसार को रोकने के लिए, राज्य में संचालित जे जे अस्पताल ने परिसर के भीतर सीओवीआईडी -१ मुंबई: अपने चिकित्सा कर्मचारियों के बीच कोरोनोवायरस संक्रमण के प्रसार को रोकने के लिए, राज्य में संचालित जे जे अस्पताल ने परिसर के भीतर सीओवीआईडी -१९ रोगियों के संपर्क रहित आवागमन के लिए एक परिवहन कक्ष विकसित किया है। इंडोमेड डिवाइसेस नामक एक फर्म के इंजीनियरों की मदद से अस्पताल के सामान्य सर्जरी विभाग द्वारा विकसित, रोगी परिवहन 'कवच' का उद्देश्य अस्पताल के कर्मचारियों, आगंतुकों और अन्य रोगियों के बीच संक्रमण के जोखिम को कम करना है। संस्कृत शब्द 'कवच' का शाब्दिक अर्थ है एक कवच। जे-हॉस्पिटल में सर्जरी के सहायक प्रोफेसर अमोल वाघ ने कहा, लागत प्रभावी ग्लास ट्रांसपोर्ट ट्रॉली में सिर के सिरे पर हेपा फ़िल्टर होता है, जो कणों को ०.०2 माइक्रोन से छोटा करता है। हर दिन हजारों स्वास्थ्य देखभाल कर्मचारी संक्रमण के लिए सकारात्मक परीक्षण करते हैं और उन्हें अलग करना पड़ता है। इससे चिकित्सा कर्मचारियों की कमी होती है, उन्होंने कहा। इसलिए, सुरक्षात्मक उपकरणों में नवाचार को समय की आवश्यकता है क्योंकि मेडिकल स्टाफ को पीपीई किट में लंबे समय तक बिताना पड़ता है, जिससे उनके लिए आवश्यक रोगी देखभाल और उपचार प्रदान करना मुश्किल हो जाता है, वाघ ने कहा। नवाचार के बारे में बात करते हुए, सर्जरी के प्रमुख, डॉ। अजय भंडारवार, जो अवधारणा के साथ आए थे, ने कहा कि ट्रॉली न केवल कोरोनावायरस के संचरण को रोक देगा, बल्कि यह उनके आसपास के अन्य संक्रमणों को कम करने के साथ कम प्रतिरक्षा वाले कोविड -१९ रोगियों की भी रक्षा करता है। मरीजों को ट्रॉली और परीक्षणों में उतारा जा सकता है, जैसे सोनोग्राफी, मरीज के चैंबर के अंदर होने पर भी किया जा सकता है, वाघ ने कहा, इंजीनियरों और विशेषज्ञों ने एम्बुलेंस में चैम्बर स्थापित करने और इसे सीटी के अनुकूल बनाने के तरीकों पर काम कर रहे हैं। स्कैन। कर्नाटक: हेल्थकेयर का ध्यान कल्याण की ओर जाना चाहिए ईटी हेल्थवर्ल्ड ०

नई दिल्ली। रेप के आरोपों से घिरे स्टार फुटबॉल खिलाड़ी को स्कॉटलैंड और पोलैंड के खिलाफ होने वाले मैचों के लिए पुर्तगाल टीम में जगह नहीं मिली है। इससे पहले सितंबर में भी रोनाल्डो को टीम में नहीं चुना गया था। अमेरिका की रहने वाली एक महिला ने रोनाल्डो पर रेप का आरोप लगाया है। हालांकि रोनाल्डो ने इन आरोपों को पूरी तरह से नकार दिया है। रोनाल्डो पर महिला ने आरोप लगाया है कि २००९ में रोनाल्डो ने उनके साथ दुष्कर्म किया था कैथरीन मेयोर्गा ने दावा किया है कि रोनाल्डो ने लॉस वेगास के एक होटल के कमरे में उनके साथ रेप किया था। पुलिस ने इस साल सितंबर में इस मामले को फिर से खोल दिया है। बुधवार को रोनाल्डो ने इन आरोपों पर सफाई देते हुए ट्विटर पर लिखा कि मेरे ऊपर लगे रेप के आरोपों को मैं नकारता हूं। रेप एक अपराध है और इसकी समाज में कोई जगह नहीं है। मैं भी इस बात में विश्वास रखता हूं और मैं इन आरोपों से अपना नाम हटाने को उत्सुक हूं। मीडिया में मुझे लेकर जो भी बातें सामने आ रही हैं वह कुछ लोग मेरे नाम सहारा लेकर खुद को प्रमोट करने के मकसद से कर रहे हैं। मुझे पूरा विश्वास है जांच में सच सामने आएगा। मैं हर तरह की जांच के लिए तैयार हूं।'
मध्य प्रदेश की राजधानी भोपाल में सिविल सर्विस परीक्षाओं की तैयारी कर रही छात्रा से गैंगरेप का सनसनीखेज मामला सामने आया है. इस मामले में राजधानी पुलिस की बड़ी लापरवाही का भी खुलासा हुआ है. एफआईआर जिसमें भोपाल पुलिस की लापरवाही का जिक्र किया गया है. भोपाल की थाना पुलिस पीड़ित छात्रा और उसके परिजन को एफआईआर दर्ज करने के लिए दिनभर घूमाती रही. पुलिस के अधिकारी और कर्मचारियों ने बार-बार घटना स्थल का निरीक्षण और बयान दर्ज कर पीड़ित छात्रा और उनके परिजनों को परेशान किया. आखिरकार पीड़िता और उसके परिवार ने ही गैंगरेप की वारदात को अंजाम देने वाले चार आरोपियों में से एक को ढूंढ निकाला. फिर में दर्ज भोपाल पुलिस की लापरवाही? पीड़िता ने दर्ज कराई एफआईआर के अनुसार, 'मेरे साथ गलत काम किया और मेरा मोबाइल फोन, सोने की कान की बाली ली, घड़ी लेकर मुझे छोड़कर चले गए. इसके बाद बाद मैं आरपीएफ थाना हबीबगंज हो की पास में ही है, वहां गई...वहां से मैंने अपने पिताजी और मेरी मां को फोन किया...इसके बाद पिताजी मुझे लेने को आए...पिताजी मुझे भोपाल की रेलवे कॉलोनी स्थित घर ले गए...मैंने रात में अपने पिताजी और मां को पूरी घटना बताई...मेरी हालत ठीक नहीं थी, इस कारण रात में शिकायत दर्ज नहीं कराई...जब मैं अपने पिता और मां के साथ एमपी नगर थाने और हबीबगंज थाने रिपोर्ट कराने गई थी, तो मुझे जीआरपी थाना हबीबगंज में रिपोर्ट करने का पता चला...जीआरपी थाना हबीबगंज में रिपोर्ट दर्ज आ रही थी, तो रास्ते में मानसरोवर के सामने गोलू बिहारी नाम का आरोपी मिल गया...इसी आरोपी ने पटरी के बीच में रोक कर मारपीट की थी और वो घसीटकर नाले में ले गया था...हम तीनों ने गोलू को पकड़ लिया और थाने लेकर रिपोर्ट दर्ज कराने पहुंची...मेरे साथ मारपीट की घटना रेलवे पटरी के बीच हुई थी...मेरे साथ जिन चारों व्यक्तियों ने गलत काम किया, उनमें से शेष तीन लोगों को मैं सामने आने पर पहचान लूंगी.. मध्यप्रदेश टूरिज्म बोर्ड द्वारा पर्यटन स्थलों को ''''महिलाओं के लिये सुरक्षित पर्यटन-स्थल'''''''' के रूप में विकसित करने के लिये निर्भया के प्रस्ताव को एम्पावर्ड कमेटी ने मंजूरी दे दी है। नई दिल्ली में गुरूवार को एम्पावर्ड कमेटी की बैठक में सचिव, पर्यटन श्री फैज अहमद किदवई ने परियोजना संचालन के लिये केन्द्र सरकार महिला एवं बाल विकास से वित्तीय एवं तकनीकी सहयोग के लिये प्रजेंटेशन दिया सिर्फ ३४ हजार को मिला रोजगार, कमलनाथ सरकार में चार गुना बढ़े शिक्षित बेरोजगार... मध्यप्रदेश में पिछले एक साल में पंजीकृत शिक्षित बेरोजगारों की तादात सात लाख से बढ़कर २८ लाख पहुंच गई है। वहीं, इस दौरान केवल ३४ हजार युवाओं को रोजगार मिला है। यह जानकारी मुख्यमंत्री कमलनाथ ने बुधवार को विधानसभा में दी। इकोनॉमिक टाइम्स की खबर के अनुसार, एक वरिष्ठ कांग्रेसी नेता ने बताया कि बेरोजगार युवाओं की तादात और बढ़ सकती है क्योंकि बड़ी संख्या में युवाओ ने नौकरी की आस में पंजीक इंदौर और भोपाल में होगा आईफा अवार्ड-२०२०, मुख्यमंत्री द्वारा आईफा का प्रस्ताव मंजूर एमपी के मुख्यमंत्री कमलनाथ ने आईफा द्वारा मध्यप्रदेश में अवार्ड समारोह-२०२० आयोजित करने के प्रस्ताव को मंजूरी दे दी है. आईफा अवार्ड-२०२० भोपाल और इंदौर शहर में आयोजित किया जाएगा. इस आयोजन से मध्यप्रदेश पूरे विश्व के कोने-कोने तक पहुंचेगा. पहला आईफा अवार्ड समारोह वर्ष २००० में लंदन में आयोजित किया गया था. आईफा अवार्ड से फिल्म जगत की महान हस्ती अमिताभ बच्चन का जुड़ाव मध्यप्रदेश के लिये गौर बंदूक का लाइसेंस चाहिए तो गोशाला को दान करने होंगे १० कंबल ग्वालियर: मध्य प्रदेश के ग्वालियर में अगर आपको बंदूक का लाइसेंस चाहिए तो आपको अन्य शर्तों के साथ-साथ एक बेहद ही अलग तरह की शर्त पूरी करनी पड़ेगी। ग्वालियर के कलेक्टर अनुराग चौधरी ने एक ट्वीट के जरिए शस्त्र लाइसेंस चाहने वालों को इस शर्त के बारे में बताते हुए कहा है कि उन्हें इसके लिए गोशाला को कम से कम १० कंबल दान करने होंगे। अनुराग चौधरी इससे पहले लाइसेंस के बदले पौधे लगवाने की शर्त इंदौर: दिल्ली के मोहल्ला क्लीनिकों की तर्ज पर मध्य प्रदेश सरकार ने संजीवनी क्लीनिक खोलने के महत्वाकांक्षी योजना की शुरुआत शनिवार से की. ये क्लीनिक स्वास्थ्य सेवाओं के विस्तार के तहत कस्बाई और शहरी क्षेत्रों की झुग्गी बस्तियों के पास खोले जा रहे हैं. मुख्यमंत्री कमलनाथ ने इंदौर के निपानिया क्षेत्र में राज्य के पहले संजीवनी क्लीनिक का उद्घाटन किया. उन्होंने कहा, स्वास्थ्य सम
म्स्ड्स में कस नंबर क्या है सामग्री के डेटा सुरक्षा शीट्स (म्स्ड्स) का उपयोग कार्यस्थल में रसायनों और उनके मिश्रण के सुरक्षित उपयोग और निपटान के बारे में आवश्यक जानकारी प्रदान करने के लिए किया जाता है। आम तौर पर, मानक म्स्ड्स में किसी उत्पाद की पहचान, खतरों और गुणों के बारे में महत्वपूर्ण जानकारी के साथ १६ खंड होते हैं। एक मानकीकृत तरीके से रसायनों के बारे में संवाद करने के लिए, दुनिया के अधिकांश रासायनिक नाम के बजाय मानकीकृत संख्यात्मक पहचानकर्ताओं का उपयोग करते हैं, जिन्हें कस (पंजीकरण) नंबर (र्न) कहा जाता है। कैस, या केमिकल एब्सट्रैक्ट सर्विस, अमेरिकन केमिकल सोसाइटी का एक प्रभाग है जो रसायनों के लिए अद्वितीय कैस संख्या प्रदान करता है। आम तौर पर, प्रत्येक रसायन के लिए एक विशेष सीएएस संख्या होती है। सीएएस नंबर हमेशा एक सेक्शन का रूप लेते हैं जो हाइफ़न द्वारा अलग किए गए तीन खंडों में विभाजित होता है। पहले खंड में कम से कम दो अंक होते हैं, दूसरे खंड में हमेशा दो अंक होते हैं और तीसरे खंड में हमेशा एक अंक होता है। आम तौर पर, एक सीएएस नंबर इस तरह दिखता है: [अंक स्ट्रिंग] -एक्सएक्स-एक्स। उदाहरण के लिए, बेंजीन की कैस संख्या ७१-४३-२ है और तांबे की कैस संख्या ७४४०-५०-८ है। रसायनों के लिए नामों और पर्यायवाची शब्दों और उपयोगकर्ताओं द्वारा बोली जाने वाली भाषाओं की संख्या की असाधारण संख्या के कारण, उनकी पहचान करने के लिए संख्याओं का उपयोग महत्वपूर्ण जानकारी को अधिक कुशल बनाता है। इसके अलावा, रसायनों पर जानकारी रखने वाले डेटाबेस उन कोड के साथ खोज करने के लिए बेहतर होते हैं जिनमें उत्पाद नाम और समानार्थक शब्द होते हैं। एमएसडीएस में सीएएस नंबर कहां मिलेगा दुनिया में, म्स्ड्स लिखने के लिए उपयोग किए जाने वाले प्रारूप काफी भिन्न होते हैं। आम तौर पर, रसायनों के लिए कैस पंजीकरण संख्या पहले पृष्ठ पर, धारा २ में या खंड ३ में होती है। पीएलसी प्रोग्रामिंग के प्रकार कैसे एक चमड़े का बैग बनाने के लिए ४४० स्टेनलेस स्टील और पारंपरिक स्टेनलेस स्टील के बीच अंतर पुदीना कैसे उगाएं कैसे एक शेर पेंट करने के लिए शेर की तरह शक्ति और साहस का एक प्रतीकात्मक जानवर, एक कुशल और पेचीदा पेंटिंग बना सकता है, जैसा कि पीटर पॉल रूबेन्स और माइकल डर्स्ट जैसे विश्व-प्रसिद्ध कलाकारों के कार्यों में दिखाया गया है।... मेटाकॉग्निशन का मतलब है सोच के बारे में सोचना। यह एक अपेक्षाकृत नया क्षेत्र है जो छात्रों को अपने स्वयं के ज्ञान, विचारों और विचारों के बारे में जागरूकता प्रदान करता है। मेटाकोग्नीटिव स्किल्स अक्सर स्वचालित होती हैं, और छात्र को यह महसूस नहीं होता है कि वह उनका उपयोग कर रहा है या नहीं।... पर्यटन के सकारात्मक और नकारात्मक प्रभाव थिएटर में मेकअप और पोशाक का महत्व कार्य की सी इकाई क्या है? अनधिकृत चेक बैलेंस के लिए नकद मात्रा की गणना कैसे करें कंक्रीट कविता कैसे लिखें भूमध्य सागर को काला सागर से क्या जोड़ता है? कैसे एक हुड बुनना विभिन्न प्रकार के स्टोरीबोर्ड या स्टोरीबोर्ड गता ४ में नाव कैसे प्राप्त करें? एक सफेद शोर मशीन कैसे काम करती है? एक प्स३ पर एक प्स२ नियंत्रण घुंडी का उपयोग कैसे करें

"व्यंग बाण "एक चुप सौ सुख " एक कोशिश है ------यह मेरा पहला लेख है ,पहली बार लिखा है आप पढ़े और अपनी टिपण्णी दे ...... "एक चुप सौ सुख" - इस मुहावरे को मैं एक घटना के चित्रण की माध्यम से आपके सामने प्रस्तुत करने की चेष्टा कर रही हूँ। यह घटना हमारे समाज पर एक कटाक्ष हैं। परिवार में अक्सर घर में छोटी-बड़ी बातें होती रहती थी। संयुक्त परिवार में काम अधिक होने के कारण, माँ कभी कभी कुछ ज्यादा ही बोल जाती थी। किन्तु पिता जी शांत स्वभाव और "एक चुप सौ सुख" विचारधारा के कट्टर समर्थक होने के कारण चुप रहने में ही अपनी भलाई समझते थे। पिता जी का कहना था कि जो व्यक्ति इस मुहावरे को अक्षरशः अपने जीवन में धारण कर लेता है, तो आधी मुसीबतों का निपटारा चुपचाप और पलक झपकते हो जाता है। बात उस समय की है, जब मै ११वी कक्षा की छात्रा थी। मेरी वार्षिक परीक्षाएं चल रही थी। अंतिम परीक्षा अंग्रेजी की थी। मैं अंतिम प्रश्न का उत्तर लिख रही थी, आखरी आधा घंटा अभी भी बचा था और मेरा पेपर लगभग पूरा हो चूका था, मैं अध्यापिका से पुछकर फ्रेश होने के लिए बाथरूम का बहाना बना कर बाहर निकल आई, जो प्रिंसिपल ऑफिस से आगे था। जैसे ही मैं वहां पहुची, पास के कमरे से कुछ लोगो के फुसफुसाने की आवाज सुनाई दी। कमरा पूरी तरह बंद था, जिज्ञाषावश, ताला बंद करने वाले सुराख से मैंने झाँक कर देखा तो पता चला, उस कमरे में कुछ बच्चे को नक़ल करवाई जा रही थी और नक़ल करवाने वाले और कोई नहीं, मेरे स्कूल के प्रधानाचार्य ही थे। यह देख कर मुझे बहुत ही गुस्सा आया और थोडा डर भी लग रहा था। पल भर में ना जाने कितने विचार घूमने लगे, फिर पिता जी की कही बात याद आई, एक चुप सौ सुख। और मैं वहां से तुरंत ही चली आई। चूँकि मेरा पेपर पहले ही पूरा हो चुका था, बस रिविजन बाकी था। उसे पूरा कर, जल्दी से मैंने कापी जमा कर दी और घर आकर यह बात मैंने पिता जी को बताई। इस पर पिता जी ने कहा, तुम्हारे प्रधानाचार्य भविष्य के ऐसे अध्यापक तैयार कर रहे हैं जो उनके कार्यो को आगे बढ़ाएंगे। मुझे इस बात पर आश्चर्य नहीं होगा कि देश के कुछ भावी नेता तुम्हारे स्कूल से ही निकलें। कुछ समय पूर्व शिक्षक दिवस पर प्रधानाचार्य ने नैतिक शिक्षा पर जोर दिया था। उस समय मुझे 'गुरु गोविन्द दोऊ खड़े, काके लागो पाय, बलिहारी गुरु आपने, गोविन्द दियो बताय' दोहा याद आ रहा था। और प्रधानाचार्य द्वारा नक़ल कराये जाने की घटना के बाद मुझे 'मुह में राम, बगर में छुरी' दोहा याद आया। अभी तक मेरे स्कूल से कोई नेता बन कर तो नहीं निकला लेकिन आज कल के नेताओ को देखकर यही लगता है की वो मेरे प्रधानाचार्य जैसे व्यतिक्त्व से बहुत प्रभावित रहे होंगे। और मुझे इस बात पर आश्चर्य नहीं होगा यदि इन भ्रष्ट नेताओं ने भी ऐसे ही बंद कमरे में नक़ल कर के परीक्षाएं पास की हों। किसी भी मनुष्य 'एक चुप सौ सुख' कथन, परिस्थिति को देखकर अपनाना चाहिए। मेरे पिता ने घर पर यह मुहावरा अपना कर, घर में सुख-शान्ति को कायम रखा है। मैने भी चुप रहने की महत्ता को भली प्रकार जान लिया है। इसी का अनुसरण कर आज सुखी हूँ। अक्सर लोग इस तरह की घटनाओ को नजर अंदाज कर देते है, क्योंकि वह नहीं चाहते की उन्हें बेवजह की मुसीबतों का सामना करना पडें और "एक चुप सौ सुख" मन्त्र का जाप करते हुए सुख की परम सुख पाते है।'प्रेमलता (नीलू )
व्याख्याताओं और वरिष्ठ अध्यापकों को गाइड लाइन का इंतजार | व्याख्याताओं और वरिष्ठ अध्यापकों को गाइड लाइन का इंतजार - शाहपुरा न्यूज,शाहपुरा न्यूज़,शाहपुरा समाचार व्याख्याताओं और वरिष्ठ अध्यापकों को गाइड लाइन का इंतजार शाहपुरा न्यूज - राज्य सरकार ने १३ मार्च को आदेश जारी कर प्रदेश में कर्मचारियों के तबादलों पर रोक हटा ली है। रोक हटने के बाद... राज्य सरकार ने १३ मार्च को आदेश जारी कर प्रदेश में कर्मचारियों के तबादलों पर रोक हटा ली है। रोक हटने के बाद प्रारंभिक शिक्षा विभाग ने तृतीय श्रेणी शिक्षकों के तबादलों को लेकर गाइड लाइन जारी कर दी है, लेकिन व्याख्याताओं एवं वरिष्ठ अध्यापकों को अभी भी तबादलों की गाइडलाइन का इंतजार है। तृतीय श्रेणी शिक्षकों को तबादलों को लेकर लंबे समय से इंतजार था। शिक्षा विभाग ने तृतीय श्रेणी शिक्षकों से तबादले के लिए आवेदन लेना शुरू कर दिया है, लेकिन व्याख्याताओं को वरिष्ठ अध्यापकों के तबादलों के लिए गाइड लाइन जारी नहीं की है। गाइड लाइन जारी नहीं किए जाने से व्याख्याता एवं वरिष्ठ अध्यापक वर्ग के शिक्षक तबादलों के लिए आवेदन नहीं कर पा रहे है। कई शिक्षक संगठनों के पदाधिकारियों का कहना है कि सरकार को तृतीय श्रेणी शिक्षकों के साथ ही व्याख्याताओं और वरिष्ठ अध्यापकों के तबादलों के लिए भी गाइडलाइन जारी कर आवेदन लेना शुरू कर दिया जाना चाहिए था। शिक्षा विभाग ने तृतीय श्रेणी शिक्षकों से निदेशक एवं संबंधित जिला शिक्षा अधिकारी के माध्यम से तबादले के लिए २० अप्रेल तक आवेदन मांगे है। वहीं दूसरी ओर शिक्षकों के विरोध को देखते हुए विभाग ने ६ मार्च को आदेश जारी कर ६डी की प्रक्रिया को स्थगित कर दिया है। ये है तृतीय श्रेणी शिक्षकों की तबादला गाइड लाइन सामान्य जिलों में ३१ दिसंबर २०१२ से पहले नियुक्त शिक्षक ही तबादलों के लिए आवेदन कर सकेंगे। प्रतिबंधित जिलों में वर्ष २००८ से पहले नियुक्त शिक्षकों के तबादले किए जा सकेंगे। प्रतिबंधित जिलों में अंतर जिला तबादले के लिए विभाग ने विशेष श्रेणी बनाई है। जिसमें असाध्य रोग से ग्रसित शिक्षकों के तबादले हो सकेंगे। पंचायतराज सेटअप के तृतीय श्रेणी शिक्षकों के केवल ग्रामीण क्षेत्र में तबादले के लिए पात्र होंगे। पारस्परिक तबादला चाहने वाले शिक्षकों के भी तबादले के आवेदन कर सकेंगे। परिवीक्षाकाल में चल रहे शिक्षकों के तबादले नहीं ही सकेंगे। ६डी की प्रक्रिया को किया स्थगित शिक्षा विभाग के सेटअप परिवर्तन के आदेशों ने शिक्षकों की चिंता बढ़ा दी थी। शिक्षकों में इसको लेकर नाराजगी जताई थी। विभाग ने पंचायती राज में लगे शिक्षकों को शिक्षा विभाग में आने के लिए ६डी की प्रक्रिया को १० अप्रैल तक पूरा करने के निर्देश जारी किए गए थे, लेकिन शिक्षकों के विरोध को देखते हुए विभाग ने ६ मार्च को आदेश जारी कर ६डी की प्रक्रिया को स्थगित कर दिया है। जिससे उन्हें राहत मिली है।

इंटरनेशनल लबर दए कोटेस इन हिन्दी एंड हिस्ट्री - विश्व मजदूर दिवस : तोड़ चलो यह जंजीरे तुम्हारे पास खोने को कुछ नहीं और पाने के लिए पूरी दुनिया है | जन-जन से जुड़ी दास्तां तोड़ चलो यह जंजीरे कि तुम्हारे पास खोने को कुछ नहीं और पाने के लिए पूरा जहां है कार्ल मार्क्स ने कुछ ऐसे ही क्रांतिकारी विचारों के साथ दुनिया भर के मजदूरों को एकजुट होने के लिए कहा था। आज मजदूर दिवस है, आइए जानते हैं कैसे हुई इस दिन की शुरुआत और इससे जुड़ी खास बातें। अंतराष्ट्रीदय तौर पर मजदूर दिवस मनाने की शुरुआत १ मई १८८6 को हुई थी। अमेरिका के मजदूर संघों ने मिलकर निश्चयय किया कि वे ८ घंटे से ज्यामदा काम नहीं करेंगे। जिसके लिए संगठनों ने हड़ताल किया। इस हड़ताल के दौरान शिकागो की हेमार्केट में बम ब्लास्ट हुआ। जिससे निपटने के लिए पुलिस ने मजदूरों पर गोली चला दी जिसमें कई मजदूरों की मौत हो गई और १00 से ज्याेदा लोग घायल हो गए। इसके बाद १८८9 में अंतर्राष्ट्रीय समाजवादी सम्मेलन में ऐलान किया गया कि हेमार्केट नरसंघार में मारे गये निर्दोष लोगों की याद में १ मई को अंतर्राष्ट्रीय मजदूर दिवस के रूप में मनाया जाएगा और इस दिन सभी कामगारों और श्रमिकों का अवकाश रहेगा। भारत में मजदूर दिवस कामकाजी लोगों के सम्माशन में मनाया जाता है। भारत में लेबर किसान पार्टी ऑफ हिन्दुस्तामन ने १ मई १923 को मद्रास में इसकी शुरुआत की थी। हालांकि, उस समय इसे मद्रास दिवस के रूप में मनाया जाता था। मजदूर दिवस के क्रांतिकारी विचार काम पैसा कमाने के लिए नहीं है; आप जीवन का औचित्य साबित करने के लिए काम करते हैं। कोई व्यक्ति इसलिए बेकार नहीं है क्योंकि वो ख़यालों में खोया हुआ है। एक दिखाई देने वाला काम है और एक ना दिखाई देने वाला। भगवान श्रम की कीमत पर हमें सभी चीजों को बेचता है। -लियोनार्डो दा विंसी श्रम एक मात्र प्रार्थना है जिसका उत्तर प्रकृति देती है। -रॉबर्ट ग्रीन इंगरसोल काम पर एक बुरा दिन नरक में एक अच्छे दिन की तुलना में बेहतर है। वो जो मेहनत से काम करता है उसे कभी निराश होने की ज़रुरत नहीं है; क्योंकि सभी चीजें परिश्रम एवं श्रम से प्राप्त की जाती हैं।

"मार्च के लिए चीनी बिक्री कोटा में वृद्धि के विभिन्न कारण है" - चीनिमंडी होम एल न्यूज मार्च के लिए चीनी बिक्री कोटा में वृद्धि के विभिन्न कारण है नयी दिल्ली, ०६ मार्च (प्ती) सरकार ने मंगलवार को कहा कि चीनी मिलें चालू माह के दौरान खुले बाजार में २४.५ लाख टन चीनी की बिक्री कर सकती हैं। केंद्र सरकार ने देश की ५२४ मिलों में से प्रत्येक को बिक्री के लिए चीनी कोटा आवंटित किया है। खाद्य मंत्रालय ने एक बयान में कहा, मार्च में वृद्धि (कोटा की वृद्धि) के विभिन्न कारण हैं। साल के इन दिनों में अधिक बिक्री होती ही है। इसमें कहा गया है कि चीनी मिलों को ३१ रुपये प्रति किलो के न्यूनतम बिक्री मूल्य पर चीनी बेचने की अनुमति है। हाल ही में मिलों को अधिकतम लाभ दिलाने और किसानों के गन्ना मूल्य बकाया को दिलाने में मदद करने के लिए न्यूनतम बिक्री मूल्य को २९ रुपये प्रति किलोग्राम से बढ़ा दिया गया था। हाल ही में, चीनी मिलों को थोक उपभोक्ताओं को चीनी बिक्री की अग्रिम बुकिंग के लिए जाने की सलाह दी गई थी। सरकार जून २०१८ से मिलों के लिए चीनी कोटा तय कर रही है। देश में चीनी के अधिशेष उत्पादन का प्रबंधन करने और किसानों के गन्ना मूल्य बकाया को चुकाने के उद्देश्य से चीनी की कीमतों को रखने के लिए सरकार चीनी मूल्य (नियंत्रण) आदेश २०१८ को लागू कर रही है। चालू विपणन वर्ष २०१८-१९ (अक्टूबर-सितंबर) में किसानों का गन्ना बकाया २०,००० करोड़ रुपये को पार कर गया है। विपणन वर्ष २०१८-१९ में चीनी उत्पादन ३०७ लाख टन होना आंका गया है, जो पिछले वर्ष में रिकॉर्ड ३२५ लाख टन से कम होगा लेकिन यह २६० लाख टन की घरेलू आवश्यकता से अधिक होगा।
प्रियंका के 'भगवा' वाले बयान पर कम योगी का जवाब प्रियंका गांधी के 'भगवा' वाले बयान का कम योगी ने जवाब देते हुए कहा, तुष्टिकरण की राजनीति करने वाले लोक सेवा का अर्थ क्या समझेंगे? साथ ही यह भी कहा कि, संन्यासी के यज्ञ में जो भी बाधा डालेगा उसे... प्रियंका गांधी के 'भगवा' वाले बयान पर कम योगी का पलटवार यूपी के कम ऑफिस के ट्विटर हैंडल से योगी ने किए ट्वीट संन्यासी के यज्ञ में जो भी बाधा डालेगा उसे दंडित होना पड़ेगा : योगी राज एक्सप्रेस। कांग्रेस महासचिव प्रियंका गांधी वाड्रा द्वारा यूपी की राजधानी लखनऊ में राज्य के मुख्यमंत्री योगी आदित्यनाथ पर निशाना साधते हुए 'बदला' और 'भगवा' शब्दों का प्रयोग किया गया था, अब इस पर राजनीति तेज हो चली है, कम योगी (कम योगी आदित्यनाथ) ने इस बात का पलटवार किया है। क्या बोले कम योगी ? राज्य के मुख्यमंत्री योगी आदित्यनाथ ने सीएम ऑफिस के ट्विटर हैंडल से लगातार दो ट्वीट करते हुए जवाब दिया। उन्होंने पहले ट्वीट में लिखा- मुख्यमंत्री योगी आदित्यनाथ ने भगवा लोक सेवा के लिए धारण किया है। सब कुछ त्याग कर, वे न केवल भगवा धारण करते हैं, बल्कि उसका प्रतिनिधित्व भी करते हैं। भगवा वेशभूषा लोक कल्याण और राष्ट्र निर्माण के लिए है और योगी जी उस पथ के पथिक हैं। इसके अलावा कम योगी ने इसी के बाद एक ओर अन्य ट्वीट करते हुए लिखा कि, ''संन्यासी की लोक सेवा और जन कल्याण के निरंतर जारी यज्ञ में जो भी बाधा उत्पन्न करेगा उसे दंडित होना ही पड़ेगा. विरासत में राजनीति पाने वाले और देश को भुलाकर तुष्टिकरण की राजनीति करने वाले लोक सेवा का अर्थ क्या समझेंगे?'' क्या था प्रियंका गांधी का बयान ? बता दें कि, प्रियंका गांधी ने कल लखनऊ में प्रेस कॉन्फ्रेंस के दौरान यह बयान दिया था, कि, यूपी पुलिस इस समय मुख्यमंत्री योगी आदित्यनाथ के 'बदला' लेने वाले बयान पर काम कर रही है। इस दौरान यह बात भी कहीं थीं कि, इस प्रदेश के कम योगी जो वस्त्र पहनते हैं, ये भगवा आपका नहीं है, ये भगवा हिंदुस्तान की धार्मिक आस्था का प्रतीक है, उस धर्म का पालन करना सीखिए। नीचे दी गई लिंक पर क्लिक कर पढ़ें पूरी खबर-

लालसोट विधायक डॉ. किरोडी लाल मीना ने मंगलवार को सवाई माधोपुर मुख्यालय पर अवैध रूप से बजरी की रोयल्टी काटने, पुलिस व वन विभाग द्वारा ट्रैक्टर ट्रॉली पकड़ने के खिलाफ मोर्चा खोला. बजरी कारोबारियों, समर्थको व ग्रामीणों को लेकर डॉ. किरोड़ी लाल मीना कलेक्टर निवास पर जा धमके, जहां उन्होंने कलेक्टर निवास के दरवाजे पर धरना दे दिया और कलेक्टर को बाहर बुलाकर बात करने पर अड़ गए. आखिरकार कलेक्टर को बाहर आकर डॉ. किरोडी से बात करनी पड़ी. उन्होंने कहा कि जब ग्रामीण बनास नदी से बजरी निकाल कर नहीं ला रहे हैं तब रामसिंहपुरा में कैसे रायल्टी काटी जा रही है. इस पर कलेक्टर ने समझाइश भी की, लेकिन डॉ. किरोडी कलेक्टर के जवाब से संतुष्ट नहीं हुए और सीधे तौर पर उन्होंने कलेक्टर को चेतावनी देते हुए कहा कि अब अगर किसी भी ट्रैक्टर चालक के खिलाफ कोई कार्रवाई हुई तो जिले मे लॉ एंड ऑर्डर बिगाड़ दूंगा. इसके बाद उन्होंने मानटाउन थाने का घेराव करते हुए पुलिस कर्मियों के खिलाफ मोर्चा खोल दिया. वहीं थाने मे जब्त की गई एक ट्रैक्टर ट्रॉली को छुड़वाया. वन विभाग द्वारा ग्रामीणों पर कार्रवाई करने की बात सामने आने पर डॉ. किरोडी ने मौके पर ही वन विभाग के अधिकारियों को बुलवाया. उन्होंने कहा कि कोई भी खनन जब वन सीमा में करे तो उसे वहीं पकड़ कर कार्रवाई करें, लेकिन वन विभाग की सीमा से बाहर कार्रवाई की गई तो वे ऐसे वन विभाग के अधिकारियों की ईंट से ईंट बजा देंगे. डॉ. किरोडी पुलिस, प्रशासनिक व वन विभाग के अधिकारियों को कुन्डेरा वन चौकी के सामने निर्माणाधीन होटल पर ले गए, जहां मौके पर पड़े सैकडों ट्रॉली पत्थरों के बारे में जवाब मांगा तो वन विभाग के अधिकारी बगले झांकने लगे. उन्होंने चेतावनी देते हुए कहा कि अधिकारियों की धांधली किसी सूरत मे बर्दाश्त नहीं करेंगे.

7. Helianthus debilis Nuttall, Trans. Amer. Philos. Soc., n. s. 7: 367. 1841. Annuals or perennials, 30–200 cm (taprooted). Stems decumbent to erect, glabrous, hirsute, or puberulent. Leaves mostly cauline; mostly alternate; petioles 1–7 cm; blades deltate-ovate, lance-ovate, or ovate, 2.5–14 × 1.8–13 cm, bases cordate to truncate or broadly cuneate, margins subentire to serrate, abaxial faces glabrate to hispid, not gland-dotted. Heads 1–3. Peduncles 9–50 cm. Involucres hemispheric, 10–22 mm diam. Phyllaries 20–30, lanceolate, 8–17 × 1–3 mm, apices acute to long-attenuate, abaxial faces glabrous or ± hispid, not gland-dotted. Paleae 7.5–8 mm, apices 3-toothed (middle teeth acuminate, usually glabrous or hispid, sometimes ± villous or bearded). Ray florets 11–20; laminae 12–23 mm. Disc florets 30+; corollas 4.5–5 mm, lobes usually reddish, sometimes yellow; anthers dark, appendages dark (style branches usually reddish, rarely yellow). Cypselae 2.5–3.2 mm, glabrous or sparsely hairy; pappi of 2 lanceolate or lance-linear scales 1.2–2.5 mm. Subspecies 5 (5 in the flora): United States (Atlantic and Gulf coasts). C. B. Heiser (1956) placed 8 subspecies in Helianthus debilis; he noted that alternative taxonomic treatments might recognize these in as many as three species, or expand the single species to include H. petiolaris. Later, Heiser et al. (1969) separated three of the subspecies as H. praecox. Isozyme data (R. P. Wain 1982, 1983; L. H. Rieseberg and M. F. Doyle 1989) show that all are closely related. Documented hybridization with H. annuus further complicates the situation. The treatment by Heiser et al. is followed here. Helianthus debilis is adventive beyond the Atlantic and Gulf coasts of the United States.
Children’s eye health facts and figures: - Up to 1 million children in the UK currently have an undetected vision problem (Statistics provided by the Eyecare Trust and based on DCSF 2013 School Census 0-12 year olds). - Children with undiagnosed eye conditions are more likely to have difficulties with learning at school. - Over 90% of children visit a dentist regularly, whilst only 53% of children have ever had an eye examination (Johnson and Johnson Vision Care Survey 2013). - NHS Sight Tests are free for all children and are available at High Street Optometrists and Opticians. - 84% of parents agree that improved vision would have a positive impact on their child’s performance at school (Johnson and Johnson Vision Care Survey 2013). - A Sight Test can give every child the ability to see clearly, learn effectively and develop normally. Children’s Eye Care It is recommended that all children have an eye exam at the age of three and then annually, or as advised by your optometrist. It is essential for every child to have their eyes tested; healthy eyesight is an important part of every child’s development. Starting regular eye tests for children at an early age determines a healthier and positive outlook for their adult life. Did you know that 1 in 5 children have an undetected eye problem? Reports from Bob Huges, the chief executive of The Association of Optometrists, have shown that undetected eye problems are causing a damaging effect on children and their learning development. It is degrading their ability to learn, and it is also affecting their behaviour, as they are not able to perform to their best of their ability due to their poor sight. Health reports from The Guardian newspaper 2012 states that only 7% of children aged under the age of 5 are taken to the opticians and 15% of secondary children have never had their eyes tested. This means that they may have underlying eye problems that they aren’t aware of, so it is paramount that you get your child’s eyes tested to ensure they have healthy eyesight. Common eye conditions such as lazy eye (amblyopia) and squint (strabismus) are treatable if they are identified and treated early, the sooner vision problems are detected, the better the outcome. Furthermore, in Scotland we’re all entitled to FREE eye tests on the NHS. How to detect typical symptoms - Poor handwriting. - Frustration when reading. - Squints or frowns. - Excessive rubbing of the eyes. - Difficulty copying words from the board/computer. - Poor reading comprehension. - Skips words or whole lines of a text. Top tips for children’s eye care! - Aim to take your child for a thorough, personalised eye test at the age of three, especially if there is a family history of wearing glasses. - Children should have an eye examination at least once every two years, or as advised by their optometrist. It is important to know that the eye screening children receive at their schools is not a full eye examination. - Always protect your child’s sight in the sun. Ensure that they are wearing sunglasses, to reduce damage from sun exposure. Overexposure to the sun’s ultraviolet rays (UV) can cause diseases such as cataracts or macular degeneration. Look for glasses with polycarbonate lens. - Make sure they eat their 5 a day! Eating fruits and vegetables are extremely beneficial for the eyes; they contain vitamin A and C that enable us to have stronger sight in the dark and healthy clearer eyes. So ensure your child eats plenty of carrots, spinach, broccoli, oranges, peas, kiwi, mangoes, and grapes! - Pay particular attention to lazy eye and squinting when reading and writing. This has a huge impact on a child’s sight and learning development. - Ensure your child is taking frequent breaks if they are working on a computer or watching television for a long period of time. - Always ensure there is a bright setting and plenty of light for when your child is doing their homework. - If your child plays any type of sports, such as cricket, basketball, tennis etc, you can get protective goggles to avoid any damage to your child’s eyes. These can be obtained from your optometrist and if you wish, you can have a prescription built in. - If you suspect your child has colour vision, or if there is a family history of colour vision, then it is important to arrange for an eye test. There is no cure for colour vision, however if teachers are told about it, it will make them aware of this problem and it will enable them to adapt their activities and use of colour to suit your child’s needs. At Vitality, we provide an excellent service for children, we cater to their individual needs and we care about the health of their eyes. We aim to look after young eyes, to enable them to see a better future!

Discovered: A twin baby boom, college leads to better health, how to turn skinny babies into skinny adults, and a PTSD gene. - There's a deluge of twins. There must be something fashionable about matching babies, because it's quite popular to have them these days. "Prior to 1980, the incidence of U.S. twin births was stable at about 2 percent of all births, but it has risen dramatically in the past three decades," said researcher Barbara Luke. In 2009 1 in 30 of every baby born in the U.S. was a twin, compared to one in every 53 in 1980. The big increase is not exactly about fashion, but it's not something in the water etiher. "Older maternal age accounts for about one-third of the rise, and two-thirds is due to the increased use of fertility treatments," continues Luke. [International Society of Twin Studies] - College is healthy. Um, certainly not the way we handled those four years. But, in general, science says, having a college education leads to overall better health in the end. Looking at over 3,000 countries, those with a higher percentage of college educated people had fewer premature deaths. Though four years of drinking, gluttony, drugs, and Aderall probably scrape years off of one's life, not going to college at all has worse effects. If you're unemployed, you're likely to be without insurance and to have a lot of stress in your life," researcher Pat Remington, said. "You often give up hope and that often leads to substance abuse and other self-destructive behaviors. So all these things are part of a web of health." [Reuters] - How to turn skinny babies into skinny adults. Put them on diets. Diets for babies. When babies come out too skinny, parents tend to overcompensate, fattening them up for life. "If there is a mismatch where the baby is growth-restricted at birth but exposed to plenty of calories after birth, then that leads to obesity," explains researcher Dr. Sherin Devaskar. Don't do that, says research. "While many trials that include exercise and various drug therapies have tried to reverse the tendency of low birth weight babies becoming obese, we have shown that a dietary intervention during early life can have long lasting effects into childhood adolescence and adult life," he continues. Skinny babies, get ready for a lifetime of diets. [Diabetes] - There is a PTSD gene. Actually there are two. Science believes two genes linked to serotonin production make certain people much more susceptible to post traumatic stress disorder. "We suspect that the gene variants produce less serotonin, predisposing these family members to PTSD after exposure to violence or disaster," said Dr. Armen Goenjian. As of now psychiatrists rely on trial and error to figure out if someone has PTSD, knowing a biological basis would clear things up a lot.

Adhesive bonding is capable of being used in load‐bearing engineering applications, particularly for joining sheet materials. However, it is also used for a wide range of applications up to the large structures used in civil engineering. Modern structural adhesives are strong, but will only work effectively if surface preparation is correctly carried out. It is possible to use simple design rules to predict the strength of some joints, but care must be used, especially where advanced composites are to be joined. MCB UP Ltd Copyright © 2000, Company
Told in pictures Overview / Children's books [in full] Wordless picturebooks form a corner of children’s literature in which illustrators and artists tell stories with images alone. What distinguishes the picturebook as a genre within children’s publishing is the way the images work with the words. Rather than merely illustrating the words, the images carry equal weight to them, achieving a harmonious balance between the two where each element adds something to the whole that the other does not. But there is an entire sub-genre of picturebook that eschews a written text altogether, relying entirely on a sequence of images to tell a story or create a meaning. Visual storytelling of this kind has always been around, from Rome’s Trajan column via Hogarth’s A Rake’s Progress to the contemporary visual essay. Early twentieth-century artists, such as Frans Masereel and Lynd Ward, also developed wordless novels for adults (and in Ward’s case one for children, too). However the wordless picturebook for children is largely a phenomenon of the late twentieth and early twenty-first centuries, part of the explosion of children’s publishing that paralleled both the postwar baby boom and rapid technological advances in colour printing from the 1960s to the present day. Not only can wordless picturebooks be beautiful objects themselves, as Martin Salisbury and Morag Styles suggest in Children’s Picturebooks (2012), they also offer a different kind of ‘reading’: one that requires the child to look at each picture carefully to decode the story. The wordless picturebook can take many forms, from small board books for toddlers, such as Helen Oxenbury’s witty Monkey See, Monkey Do (1982), to highly sophisticated narratives for an older readership, such as Shaun Tan’s The Arrival (2007). This spread from Mercer Mayer’s A Boy, A Dog and A Frog (1967) shows Mayer’s skill at conveying both plot and emotional arc through unbordered black and white line. Top: Eric Carle, I See a Song (1973). Some have simple narratives, with a single clear image on each page, relatively few characters and a straightforward plot. A good is example of this is A Boy, A Dog and A Frog (1967) by US artist Mercer Mayer, who is considered to be one of the principal creators of the wordless picturebook form. Another example of this style is Changes, Changes (1971) by Pat Hutchins of Rosie’s Walk fame. Others, such as Alastair Graham’s wonderfully anarchic Full Moon Soup (1991) or Danish artist Jan Mogensen’s The 46 Little Men (1990), have multiple narratives, with a cast of many characters featured in highly detailed illustrations that often fill a whole spread. These books are more likely to appeal to an older child who can disentangle the various storylines and understand the subtleties of the complex images. Slapstick Sci-Fi: Alastair Graham’s Full Moon Soup (1991) has a host of characters, each with his or her own storyline, as separate disasters strike the staff and guests of a hotel, which is cut away like a doll’s house. Each spread shows more chaos. Another variety of wordless picturebook follows the comic book format, showing a varying number of panels on each page. British examples of this type include Raymond Briggs’s The Snowman (1978, later adapted as a successful animated feature film), Shirley Hughes’s Up and Up (1979) and Peter Collington’s The Angel and the Soldier Boy (1987). US examples include Peter Spier’s evocative Rain (1982) and Christmas! (1983). In Charles Keeping’s River (1978), the strong vertical and horizontal lines of the industrial landscape contrast powerfully with the softer outline of the natural world glimpsed behind it. There are also books that deal with more demanding abstract concepts that can appeal across a very wide age range, from pre-teens to adults. This category includes works such as Swedish artist Tord Nygren’s surreal The Red Thread (1987), David Wiesner’s eerie dreamscape Free Fall (1988), and Istvan Banyai’s playful investigations of perspective and scale in Zoom and Re-zoom (both 1995). Successive images from Re-zoom, Istvan Banyai (1995). New York-based Banyai constantly changes viewpoint and scale in his books Zoom and Re-zoom (both 1995). Paradoxically, a wordless picturebook isn’t necessarily devoid of words. There is almost certain to be a title, and this may provide a clue to what is inside, say, the name of a character, an emotion, or a time frame. Johnny’s Bad Day (1970) by Edward Ardizzone is an example of this, where we learn at once that the protagonist is a boy, that the action takes place over a single day and that the principal emotion is negativity. A title may also indicate an event, as in Emily Arnold McCully’s Picnic (1984); or a certain type of story, as in April Wilson’s Magpie Magic (1999), where the word ‘magic’ immediately sets up expectations of a fantasy. In some wordless books there may be an opening or closing sentence, as in Brian Wildsmith’s The Circus (1970), or endpapers with information about the characters, as in Mogensen’s The 46 Little Men. Words may also appear within the pictures themselves – for instance, on signs, posters, shopfronts, newspapers, books, vehicles and even graffiti. All these may provide telling details that help set a book within a particular context, environment or timeframe. Charles Keeping, for example, frequently uses such text to locate his landscapes in a particular reality, as does Jeannie Baker in Window (1991). So how is a wordless picturebook actually ‘read’? The picturebook theorist Perry Nodelman says the process is ‘something like doing a puzzle … we must search for clues and put together apparently disparate bits of information’ (Words About Pictures, 1988), in order to recreate the story or stories the artist has chosen to portray. Clearly this is a demanding activity, perhaps more so than reading a book with words. Where’s Anno? In Anno’s Journey (1977), Mitsumasa Anno delights in optical illusions and puzzles, and his tableaux often include art historical references, such as Seurat’s La Grande Jatte and Van Gogh’s Bridge at Arles. Observing a group of children reading wordless picturebooks, Judith Graham noted that, on the first reading, all the children ‘told’ the stories in the present tense, much like an oral storyteller, which she said was ‘not surprising as they have been put into the position of commentator on events whose outcome they don’t know’. She also remarked that they all seemed very tired when they had finished (Graham’s essay in What’s in the Picture?, 1998). However, it is partly this experience of being an active participant in the creative act, a ‘co-creator’, that makes reading a wordless picturebook so empowering, as in doing so the reader claims a certain ownership over the story. Through ‘reading’ the pictures and bringing his or her own individual perspective to them, each reader makes a personal interpretation of the plot, the characters, the setting and the mood, and retells the events shown in a way that is unique to him or her. In theory, there can be infinite interpretations of every wordless picturebook, though in practice many books have such close sequences of pictures that surprisingly similar interpretations can result. In How to Write and Illustrate Children’s Books (1997), US illustrator and teacher Uri Shulevitz describes a picture sequence as being like a pantomime that presents an action that can be readily understood, and where foreground ‘actors’ (the characters) appear on a background ‘stage’ (the setting). The readability of such a picture sequence, he says, depends on a clear actor-stage relationship, a consistent set of rules that the pictures will follow, and a logical progression from one image to another. ‘Storytelling is a process that takes place over time,’ he writes. Critic Jane Doonan, in Looking at Pictures in Picture Books (1993), argues that ‘every mark displayed in a picture is a potential carrier of meaning, beginning with the chosen material or medium and how the mark is made’. The choice of the board, card or paper on which the book is printed affects our response to the finished work, as does the artists’ choice of ‘marker’, such as pen and ink, crayon, coloured pencils, oil pastels, chalks, or watercolours. The Chicken Thief (2009) by Béatrice Rodriguez, makes good use of the picturebook’s wide format. In the twenty-first century, with the advent of new interactive digital technologies such as the iPad and Kindle tablets and mobile phone apps, there are new mediums and markers to be explored, as innovative publishers such as Nosy Crow are beginning to demonstrate. Petting Zoo (2013), the clever iPad app by Christoph Niemann, demonstrates what can be done with wordless sequences for a new medium. Niemann’s instructions are wordless, too: it is easy for children to learn how to swipe the surface of the tablet, and there is a small palette of symbols – pointing hands, a pair of cogs – to help navigation between animals. But there is still something special about the sheer physical pleasure of holding, exploring and sharing a printed and bound picturebook with a child. And a wordless picturebook can introduce that young reader to an alternative approach to storytelling through a sequence of images that need to be interpreted by him or her, thereby developing visual literacy – a skill increasingly relevant when so much information is currently communicated through images. Wordless picturebooks can cross cultural boundaries. An artist thinking and creating in one language may be ‘read’ – with little intervention from a translator – by a child who is thinking in another language. A narrative constructed in one country or culture can be reconstructed in another, making this specialised corner of the world of children’s literature a truly global village. Petting Zoo (2013), an iPad app by Christoph Niemann, allows children to engage with an appealing set of 21 line-drawn creatures – including an ostrich, a monkey and a chameleon. Petting Zoo responds to the child’s touch by bending, jumping, shrinking and changing colour. This app takes the wordless format into new areas of interactive play. Another spread from Eric Carle’s I See a Song (1973). By the end of the picturebook, the monochrome violinist has become infused with colour.

THE Wilbur Wright Lecture this year is certainly one of the most thought‐provoking that has been delivered. Read in conjunction with the James Forrest Lecture, printed in our last issue, it gives a very complete picture of where we stand in aircraft and engines to‐day. This general survey comes very appropriately in time to appear in this number, which is devoted almost entirely to engines, and gives an opportunity that does not often occur of reading precept and practice simultaneously. Mr. Ricardo represents perhaps the most expert opinion obtainable in England on the general aspects of internal‐combustion engine design, and it is interesting to turn from his views to the other articles dealing with practice as exemplified in an American, a German, a British, and a French‐designed engine respectively: the wide field of which incidentally emphasises the attitude adopted in this paper from the beginning of endeavouring to maintain an international outlook. From another point of view they have a no less wide appeal, covering as they do almost the whole range of sizes in modern engines, from the 50 h.p. light aeroplane unit, through the 220 h.p. so‐called “Diesel” and the latest 300 h.p. interceptor fighter engine, to the largest 500‐h.p. air‐cooled radial.

Oklahoma's Zika threat pales compared to West Nile The Zika virus, which can cause devastating birth defects, has led to public fear but poses much less risk in Oklahoma than another mosquito-borne disease. Kristy Bradley, state epidemiologist for the state Health Department, said there have been no reports of locally acquired Zika in the United States, outside of two areas of Miami, Fla. On the other hand, West Nile virus, which is transmitted by a different type of mosquito, has killed 53 people in Oklahoma since 2002 and has forced the hospitalization of dozens of others. Some of those stricken with West Nile have been paralyzed or suffered encephalitis. "Many have long-standing complications and never fully recover," she said. Bradley testified Wednesday before Oklahoma legislators examining the risks of Zika. There have been 26 travel-associated cases of the disease in Oklahoma, including one pregnant woman. There is no vaccine or medicine to treat the virus, which: • Is transmitted by the Aedes-species mosquito and also can be transmitted sexually. • Can lead to flu-like symptoms, lasting as long as a week. • Can cause severe birth defects including microcephaly (abnormally small head), eye defects, hearing loss and impaired growth. Pregnant women are advised to stay out of areas where local transmission is occurring. • Doesn't pose a risk for birth defects in babies conceived after the disease has cleared a woman's blood. Bradley said there are several reasons for thinking Zika may not end up posing major problems in this country. "There is a consensus among U.S. health experts that Zika will not become widespread in the United States," she said. The mosquitoes that spread the disease fly only about 200 yards in their lifetime and prefer human blood. Only small numbers of this particular species of mosquito have been found in Oklahoma. Any potential outbreaks would likely take place in heavily populated areas, where people spend a lot of time outdoors and there is adequate breeding habitat like areas of standing water. The West Nile virus poses much more of a health challenge because it is carried by the Culex mosquito in a disease transmission cycle that includes birds that can travel long distances. This type of mosquito increases in numbers during mid- to late-summer when the temperatures climb and the weather pattern is drier. People over 50 are at greater risk of developing serious complications from West Nile, including serious illness involving the nervous system. Mosquito activity is highest during early morning and evening hours. Health officials advise use of insect repellents and recommend draining or treating standing water with a mosquito larvicide.
Guild of One-Name Studies One-name studies, Genealogy Variants: Weatheridge, Wetherage, Wetheredge, Wetheridge, Witherage Category: 3 - A study where research using core genealogical datasets and transcriptions is well under way on a global basis. Contact: Mrs Kim Cook The name Witheridge/Wetheridge is Anglo-Saxon, but there has been some dispute about its meaning. Ridge presents no problems, meaning an elevation deep in proportion to its width and height and generally having sloping sides. The first part of the word has been said to come from withy, meaning willow, or wether, meaning castrated ram - quite a difference there! As most Witheridge/Wetheridge families can trace their ancestry back to Devon, many thought that we all came originally from the town of Witheridge in mid-Devon. However, looking at the map showing where Witheridges had settled, it seemed unlikely that people would have moved across the dangerous tracks of Dartmoor to reach places like Wembury, Ermington, Kingsbridge and Plymouth. This raised the possibility of another place called Witheridge somewhere in South Devon. Subsequent research showed that a manor of Wederige, in Plympton Hundred, was recorded in the Domesday book of 1068. Much of the land belonging to this manor has apparently been lost as a result of coastal erosion, but what remains is on the cliffs above Jennycliffe Bay, between Plymouth and Wembury. Ironically, the manor's original Anglo-Saxon name (which relates to wethers) has changed over the years to the more elegant Withyhedge. If you look at the 6-inch OS map of the area, you can still see a field bearing the name Withyhedge Brake. It is now thought that most Witheridge and Wetheridge families came from one of these two manors, and took the surname only after they left their home village. There are a number of locations bearing the name Witheridge. These include: It is now thought that most Witheridge and Wetheridge families came originally from one of the two Domesday manors, one where the town of Witheridge now stands, and one in Plympton Hundred. However, as most moved away before surnames became fixed, they would have taken the surname of their home manor only after they had left it. From these two manors, branches of the family spread throughout north and south Devon. Across north Devon, there were key branches in Barnstaple, Berrynarbor, Bideford, and Ilfracombe, with sub-branches in Bradworthy and Combe Martin being particularly prolific. In south Devon most branches were in the area known as the South Hams, between Plymouth and Kingsbridge, notably in Plymstock, Wembury, Ermington (another very prolific branch), South Milton and Thurlestone. From the early 16th century, through to the late 17th century, many Witheridge mariners sailed in and out of the port of London, and settled in the city, with some eventually moving out to surrounding villages, now suburbs. Another branch was in Chatham, Kent in the late 17th century, but it has not yet been determined where this branch originated. Descendants of the Chatham branch moved to the Birmingham area and have since spread throughout the Midlands. Descendants from all these branches are now scattered throughout the UK and the world, as well as in Australia, Canada, New Zealand, South Africa and the USA. We are in touch with a great number of descendants all these places, except South Africa, and we are currently trying to locate known descendants of families who went to South Africa.

Enhanced Narrative Pedigrees Each written pedigree covers one branch, or sub-branch, of a Witheridge family, generation by generation. Personal names are colour-coded, so that descendants of siblings can easily be found. In addition to the basic birth/baptism, marriage, and death/burial information, these pedigrees include available details of occupation, education, changes of address, and census information. Other personal details, such as when and where a person met his/her spouse, others who lived with the family, cause of death, military or marine service details, and even telephone numbers for 20th-century families, have also been included where possible. These pedigrees, which are constantly updated, include those for Australia Early immigrants 1842-1890 From Devon-Cornwall 1875-present day Bideford South Devon sub-branch 1802-present day Buckland, Devon Main branch 1800-1890 Chatham, Kent Main branch 1693-1836 Birmingham sub-branches 1806-present day Combmartin, Devon Main branch 1538-present day Bristol sub-branch 1863-present day Wales-USA sub-branch 1880-present day Ermington, Devon Main branch 1580-1934 Bridgwater sub-branch 1897-1947 Plymouth sub-branch 1815-present day Plymouth & Poole sub-branch 1811-present day Highgate, London Main branch 1765-1870 Camberwell sub-branches 1883-present day Newton Ferrers, Devon Main branch 1600-1700 North Tawton, Devon All branches 1791-present day South Africa Witheridge descendants 1820-1950 Thurlestone, Devon All branches 1700-present day Wembury, Devon all known descendants 1590-present day Family trees have been compiled for most branches and sub-branches of the Witheridge family.

Iliotibial band syndrome is a common knee injury that usually presents as lateral knee pain caused by inflammation of the distal portion of the iliotibial band; occasionally, however, the iliotibial band becomes inflamed at its proximal origin and causes referred hip pain. The iliotibial band is a thick band of fascia that is formed proximally by the confluence of fascia from hip flexors, extensors, and abductors. The band originates at the lateral iliac crest and extends distally to the patella, tibia, and biceps femoris tendon The pain is typically felt on the outside aspect of the knee or lower thigh. Treatment requires activity modification, massage, and stretching and strengthening of the affected limb. The goal is to minimize the friction of the iliotibial band as it slides over the femoral condyle. The patient may be referred to a physical therapist who is trained in treating iliotibial band syndrome. Most runners with low mileage respond to a regimen of anti-inflammatory medicines and stretching; however, competitive or high-mileage runners may need a more comprehensive treatment program. The initial goal of treatment should be to alleviate inflammation by using ice and anti-inflammatory medications. Patient education and activity modification are crucial to successful treatment. Any activity that requires repeated knee flexion and extension is prohibited. During treatment, the patient may swim to maintain cardiovascular fitness. If visible swelling or pain with ambulation persists for more than three days after initiating treatment, a local corticosteroid injection should be considered. Corticosteroid injection for iliotibial band syndrome. Gerdy’s tubercle and the femoral condyle are marked as landmarks. With the patient in a supine or side-lying position, the needle is inserted at the point of maximum tenderness over the femoral condyle. As the acute inflammation diminishes, the patient should begin a stretching regimen that focuses on the iliotibial band as well as the hip flexors and plantar flexors. The common iliotibial band stretches(Figure 4) have been evaluated for their effectiveness in stretching the band. The stretch shown in Figure 4C was consistently the most effective in increasing the length of the iliotibial band in a study of elite distance runners. Although this study demonstrates the effectiveness of stretching the iliotibial band, participants in the study did not have iliotibial band syndrome and studies have not demonstrated that stretching hastens recovery from the syndrome. Stretches of the right iliotibial band Once the patient can perform stretching without pain, a strengthening program should be initiated. Strength training should be an integral part of any runner’s regimen; however, for patients with iliotibial band syndrome particular emphasis needs to be placed on the gluteus medius muscle. A strengthening exercise geared toward the gluteus medius is shown in Figure 5. Exercise for strengthening of the right gluteus medius muscle in a weight-bearing position. (A) The patient stands on a platform and lowers the left leg toward the ground slowly. (B) Through contraction of the right gluteus medius, the patient then elevates the leg, returning the pelvis to a level position. Running should be resumed only after the patient is able to perform all of the strength exercises without pain. The return to running should be gradual, starting at an easy pace on a level surface. If the patient is able to tolerate this type of running without pain, mileage can be increased slowly. For the first week, patients should run only every other day, starting with easy sprints on a level surface. Most patients improve within three to six weeks if they are compliant with their stretching and activity limitations. For patients who do not respond to conservative treatment, surgery should be considered. The most common approach is to release the posterior 2 cm of the iliotibial band where it passes over the lateral epicondyle of the femur. In a retrospective study of 45 patients who underwent surgical release of their iliotibial band, 84 percent of the patients reported that their surgery results were good to excellent.
| Potentially edible!| Food irradiation is the practice of subjecting food to high doses of ionizing radiation - gamma radiation, X-rays or electron beams - in order to kill germs and prevent food poisoning. Irradiation extends the shelf life of foods and eliminates pathogens. At higher doses, it makes the food suitable for people suffering from deep immunosuppression, such as leukemia patients. Because the technology overlaps two areas of everyday life which are highly prone to woo and pseudoscience - food and nuclear technology - most of the time it is drowning in a tidal wave of bullshit. Lack of consumer acceptance is the primary reason why it is not used to a greater extent. Uses of irradiation Irradiation is conducted by subjecting food, typically already in its packaging, to radiation from a particle accelerator or a sample of radioactive material, such as cobalt-60 (which emits gamma rays and electrons as it decays). Bacteria, fungi, insects and parasites die due to DNA damage and inactivation of enzymes. The primary use of irradiation is to kill germs without heating the food after it is put in its airtight packaging. This allows the sterilization of foods which cannot be pasteurized, such as fresh fruit and vegetables, spices, frozen and raw meat and fish, French Camembert cheese, and complete prepared meals. Additionally, low doses of radiation can prevent sprouting of foods such as potatoes, garlic and onions, and delay ripening. Irradiation requires large and expensive equipment, although the technology can also be used for other applications such as sterilizing medical equipment, cosmetics, and packaging. In 2012 the UK Food Standards Agency reported that there were more than 20 sites in the EU and 10 outside the EU, "three in South Africa and India, two in Thailand and one each in Turkey and Switzerland". The Turkish site is GammaPak which offers a range of Cobalt-60 sterilisation. Irradiation will not inactivate metabolic enzymes naturally present in food, which cause its slow decomposition over time. It can't be used to "fix" partially spoiled food, as the toxins already produced by microorganisms are not destroyed. (Pasteurization, by contrast, can eliminate those toxins that break down on exposure to heat, such as the botulism toxin.) Doses of radiation used in food processing typically do not kill viruses. Foods high in unsaturated fat, such as nuts and vegetable oils, tend to taste bad after being subjected to radiation. Irradiation facilities tend to be capital intensive, with costs in the range of $1 million - $5 million. Mostly fictional concerns of opponents The most obvious fear is that irradiated food is radioactive itself and will cause you to grow a tail or an extra hand. In reality, all food is slightly radioactive, and irradiation does not increase its radioactivity. This is similar to visible light: no matter how long you sunbathe, you will not start glowing in the dark, even though sunlight is a form of radiation. Inducing radioactivity in food is only possible using neutrons, but irradiation does not use them. This fear is probably rooted in the all-too-common confusion — eagerly exploited by anti-nuclear scaremongers — between radiation (receiving rays produced by nuclear reactions) and radioactive contamination (having physical particles of radioactive materials on or in oneself). Other arguments against food irradiation are listed below. - Irradiation would hide hygiene problems at manufacturing plants. The inherent assumption is that maintaining hygiene standards is a goal in itself, whereas in fact the actual goal is safe food, with hygiene standards being only a means to that end. Proponents of irradiation do not think that irradiation is a substitute to hygiene, as irradiation is not equivalent to complete sterilization. Additionally, it cannot remove toxins already produced by microorganisms. - Irradiation reduces the nutritional value of food. This is true in case of some micronutrients such as vitamins. Protein, carbohydrates and fat are not affected to any significant degree. The loss of vitamins is lower than in alternative methods, such as canning, drying or pasteurization. Slightly less nutritious food is better than toxic food. - Irradiation extends the shelf life of food. It requires some really crazy logic to consider this a disadvantage. Longer shelf life reduces the amount of food lost to spoilage and allows smaller shops to keep a wider inventory. The only possible detrimental effect is that food might lose some nutrients when stored over long periods of time - but again, slightly less nutritious food is better than spoiled food or no food at all. An extended shelf-life also reduces the cost of a particular type of food, which plays into an unspoken prejudice that cheap food is synonymous with junk food - Irradiated food loses nutrients over time faster than non-irradiated food. Persistent free radicals are sometimes proposed as a chemical basis. They are supposed to somehow "catalytically" destroy antioxidants. However, such catalytic action is chemically impossible - when a free radical reacts with a molecule of an antioxidant, both molecules are inactivated. The fact that some of the radicals persist in irradiated food indicates that they simply failed to react with antioxidants. - Irradiation of fats produces 2-alkylcyclobutanones (2-ACBs), which might be carcinogenic. This is trying to answer the wrong question. Coffee contains over 1000 different compounds, and 19 of the 28 that were tested are rodent carcinogens. Despite this, coffee consumption is not a risk factor for cancer. A feeding study using the complete product is a better estimate of cancer risk than analyzing its chemical content. The same logic can be applied to irradiated food and 2-ACBs. Animal studies showed no carcinogenic effect of irradiated food, even at very high radiation doses. Therefore, whether isolated 2-ACBs are carcinogenic is irrelevant. - Food woo - FAQ on radioactivity and nuclear technology - Microwave oven, which uses a very different kind of radiation - Raisins, which are grapes irradiated with yet another sort of radiation - http://efsa.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.2903/j.efsa.2011.1930, p. 7 - See the Wikipedia article on food irradiation. - Irradiated food, UK Food Standards Agency, 26 Apr 2012 - GammaPak website - University of Wisconsin, Madison - The Facts about Food Irradiation - Position of the American Dietetic Association: Food Irradiation - New York Times - Spinach and Peanuts, With a Dash of Radiation - Which is exactly the opposite of the actual case: junk foods tend to be convenience foods, which in the long run are considerably more expensive per meal than foods prepared at home from basic ingredients.

عنوان مقاله [English] Diversity of rural location-spatial characteristics in Iran indicates difference in needs and requirements of rural communities, raising the necessity of local planning. This article presents effective strategies and formulates general issues on "executive plan of rural development" of Sadrabad village of Rustaq sub-district in Yazd province of Iran. For this purpose, it used a participatory and strategic planning approach in survey and Participatory Rural Appraisal (PRA) methods as well as SWOT model. The study results showed that among the weaknesses of the village, "water scarcity", among the strengths, "possibility of integrating the lands", among the opportunities, "presence of appropriate external markets for the supply of green house products", and among the threats, "environmental pollution of the village" were the most important factors affecting the rural development; in addition, the aggressive strategy with focus on internal strengths and external opportunities was found as the most suitable model for the development of the studied village.
Table of Contents A monochromic image is composed of a single color—the word monochrome cones from the Ancient Greek: monochromes. A monochromatic image reflects colors in shades of limited colors or hues. Also read: What is SKU? – Definition, Functions, Benefits, and More Functions of Monochromic Describe paintings, photographs, designs, or drawings of a single color. The objects have monochrome tones with few shades or colors. However, in the case of an image, the term monochrome is often used to refer to black and white or grayscale, although it can be useful to create other combinations that contain shades of a color. They say everything is better when it is in color, but this is not always the case, especially when it comes to printers. If your use is mostly domestic or personal, having a color printer will make a lot of sense. However, if you print a large volume of documents, very often and that do not require color ink (such as letters in the name of a company, office notes, and invoices), then the ability to print in full color is practically a non-essential feature. Printers are indispensable accessories in an office. But due to the enormous volumes of printed documents that are essential in this type of workspace. Computers that can print only black and white text and graphics because of the advantages they offer in General efficiency terms. What is a Monochromic printer? A printer that works only with black ink. It can also be in red or violet as can happen with monochrome matrix printers. In general, it is a more profitable option than its color counterpart. The results they give are very reliable, being clean, crisp, and practical in terms of speed. Currently, although it may not seem like it. Monochromatic printers are the most sold and used in office spaces, because they only require an ink cartridge or an affordable price toner, resulting in a long-term cost cut and much more duration than color printers, requiring shorter times between each replacement. Not until many years ago, all the printers that were in homes and businesses were monochrome until the Laserjet Color, the first color printer for home use. Monochromatic printers are useful in professional environments due to their faster printing speed, lower cost per printed page, and in the case of laser printers, superior text quality. What kind of monochrome printer should I choose? Remember that everything will depend on your needs. So if you require a printer that needs to produce any document, the smartest thing is to acquire a multifunctional color with ink cartridges. Because this will allow you to do everything. Now, if the jobs are specifically text, working at the same time with more than one computer connected, opting for a monochrome printer is an excellent option. For more massive daily printing needs, a monochromatic printer is the most logical option. Because it can quickly print high production volumes while maintaining operating costs at a considerably low level. It is not as versatile as a color printer, but despite that, it is still the preferred printer for commercial use simply. Because the color is not a mandatory necessity in most professional spaces. Among the monochrome type printers, the laser one is still the preferred one in many cases. Imposing itself more and more against color lasers and inkjet devices for one simple reason. Not everyone needs to print in color. If the only thing you print are letters, bills, essays for school and the like, there is no good reason to spend money on a color laser or business inkjet. And at least two good reasons to keep a laser instead of considering an inkjet. Monochromatic lasers are faster than almost any inkjet and print more attractive text.

crisis of the 3rd century, the empire was already terminal. It continued on, but it was no longer the entity that it once was. When Emperor Diocletian established the Tetrarchy, it was an effort to try and make the empire more manageable, essentially splitting them up into separate entities (Imagine the US being split up into seperate administrative districts of Pacifica, New England, Dominion, Midwest, and Texas). The Roman empire had ceased to exist as a single entity, it was now an organization of seperate but cooperative empires, nominally it was one empire, but in practice many. The Roman empire was dead, only the still breathing corpse remained; it simply took a final push from outsiders to do her in. I say this because Rome throughout history had been beset, bested by, and occasionally sacked by barbaric tribes, such as the celts and gauls, and earlier in their history by the Etruscans and Samnites. Each time the eternal city came back from defeat and soldiered on, eventually reigning victorious and subjugating their attackers. However, what had changed in the millenia was that Rome was no longer a vibrant society; an age old scourge that had beset societies throughout the ages consumed it from within; much like a cancer attacking a persons immune system or termites eating away at a wooden pillar. This cancer was bureaucracy. The empire had always been large, had always had to deal with an occasional uprising, had always been beset by the very problems that appeared to eventually fell it, but the empires ability to deal with these problems effectively and quickly had changed, not the problems themselves. Where once defense of a region was left to the proconsul/propraetor (governor) of the province and the legionaries (Roman citizen soldiers) and auxiliaries (Non-citizen residents of the empire looking to obtain citizenship) under his command, occasionally with some help from Rome herself in the event of a major crisis. Over the centuries a large bureaucratic organization had sprung up hamstringing the governors ability to govern, and stealing away resources from more productive endeavour. This bureaucracy had been implemented by the first emperors themselves, to help them assist governance of the empire, and had gradually been expanded as emperors attempted to avoid any extremely popular governor or general from laying claim to the imperial seat. Over the centuries successive coups and civil wars lead the emperor to believe that he needed to exert more direct authority over the empire rather than less (though some Emperors such as Hadrian bucked that trend). Now this is all conjecture, as all hypothesises of what caused Rome to fall are, but I use this example to state my case. In 212 AD the emperor Caracalla issued an edict that fundamentally changed the empire. The edict was the Constitutio Antoniniana, which declared every freeborn person residing in the empire a Roman citizen with all the rights and responsibilities that it contained. This was a momentous occasion that one, symbolizes how bureaucratic the empire had become, and two, fundamentally changed its social system, and three, laid the seeds for the crises that would beset the empire in the next two centuries. The reason Caracalla passed the new law was simple, he wished to increase the taxable base of his empire. The Roman empire was very complex and its taxation system equally so, but to summarize it: outside of a census tax and polling tax, each administered by a puppet king or provincial governor, non-Roman citizens were exempt from direct taxation by the empire, i.e Roman tax collectors representing the city of Rome and not the provincial governors who then passed the tax on after collection some of the revenue for their administrations. Roman citizens were subject to direct taxes from the Empire, but were spared the census tax and polling tax. By passing the law, and making every person in the empire a citizen, he further strengthened an already large bureaucracy. But more importantly, it was why he did so, it was because the tax was to feed the behemoth itself. The bureaucracy had grown so large that the empire was having difficulty funding it with the revenue sources it had at its disposal. The emperor issued this edict, hoping that this move would solve the frequent funding problems that beset the empire during this time; I should also note that currency debasement was going on cocurrently as well. However, this short term solution had dire long term ramifications. Firstly, it grew the very bureaucracy that was slowly killing the empire. This bureaucracy had gradually, over the centuries, shifted power of action away from the governors of the provinces and more towards the emperor, making the empire as a whole much more vulnerable to incompetence or corruption of the emperor and his aids. Corruption gradually became a widespread problem that left the organization that ran the empire unable to do its very job. Secondly the edict continued the empires economic stagnation. Adding addition tax burdens to an ever strained productive middle class straing them even further, and as the middle class goes so goes society. When the middle class thrives and is productive society grows. When the middle class is squeezed and disappears a society stagnates. This edict created an additional massive tax burden, which the emperor made even more burdensome by raising the tax rates on the populace, and coupled with an ever debasing currency, made them unable to pay their dues to the state. This began the process of fuedalization of society because as the ability of the common man to pay his debts decreased the likelihood of seeking a wealthy benefactor rose. By the end of the empire the poor plebians had pledge themselves to the wealthy land owners, who had the power and ability to persuade or outright ignore imperial tax edicts, becoming serfs on land that they once had owned and worked for themselves. Thirdly the new universal citizenship that every person in the empire enjoyed had a major unforeseen consequence on Romes military ability. The legions of Rome had always been the elite force of the military, not the backbone that we imagine them to be simpy because of numbers. Open to citizens of the empire only, it was a lucrative prospect despite the lengthy mandatory service of 25 years. The average lifespan of a legionnaire was greater than that of an average citizen. The pay was very good, and to top it off, retiring legionaries received generous grants of lands in the outer territories. The empire created colonies where retired legionaries would settle, which helped maintain peace and stability in the region, and more importantly for the legionnaire, created an area where they were members of the wealthy landed class. But as I stated, the legion wasn't the backbone of the miliary. Though the legions were numerous there were far too few of them to patrol all of the empire alone. That was the purpose of the auxiliary, which also served a societal reason for existing along with a military purpose. During the principate and up to the middle of the 3rd century the auxiliary made up 3/5 of the Roman military forces. The pack mules and specialized soldiers of the military; a good analogy would be to think of the legions as construction engineers and the auxiliaries as the field crews. But most importantly, the auxiliary was comprised of non-citizens of the empire, and the auxiliary units were often stationed away from homeland of the soldiers who had enlisted. This helped prevent rebellions, by removing the armed subjects from their native lands, and increased integration amongst the auxiliaries into Roman societs as the reward for 25 years of auxiliary service was citizenship in the empire. It may be difficult to understand how lucrative a prospect this was, but citizens enjoyed special economic rights and privilages over other subjects. A person could become rich and successful merely as a subjuct, but it was far easier to become rich when one was a citizen. Citizenship could be awarded by the emperor to upstanding subjects or foreigners who greatly helped the empire, but the most common way to earn it was through military service. As I have mentioned before, the Romans were brutally effective in subjugating a population with an iron fist. On the flip side, they created many opportunities for the excellent or ambitious peregrini (foreigners under Roman control) to become standing members of society. Citizenship in the empire opened doors, it allowed for free travel throughout the empire, and the possibility to hold positions of power. The ability to travel freely was especially a big deal. This is still true today, as I know individuals that have acquired American citizenship simply because it offers greater ability to travel into other countries. However, the Constitutio Antoniniana removed a major incentive for members of the empire to enlist into the auxiliary and from it a major source of military manpower. This immediately created a man shortage problem. The legions alone were not enough to patrol the boundaries of the frontier lands, maintain peace in the inner empire, and build and maintain the vast roadworks that facilitated trade. This self inflicted crisis forced later emperors to seek out barbarian auxiliaries, though a better word would be mercenaries. Essentially the empire had put itself in a position where it was unable to raise its own army, it had to pay for protection. And this is where it all comes together. The edict removed any real reason for non-citizens to sacrifice for the empire, since everyone was a citizen now, why would they join the auxiliaries? Men still joined the legions, but the legions were expensive to maintain relative to the auxiliary units, further straining the empire that was already spending every coin it had on its massive bureaucracy. And as the bureaucracy grew, so did the corruption that comes with large organizations that answer to few individuals. It siphoned resources from the middle class, and actively forced out those who showed great ability for fear of losing their little fiefdoms. In the end those with ability, or simply the resources, stuck to their own fortunes and ignored the empire, carving out little fiefdoms of their own. When the west finally fell in 476 AD, the empire had long been dead, the usurping Germanic leader simply decided he did not want to play along with the farce any more. This is something we ourselves need to think about. Massive influx of migrants, economic troubles, even incompetent leaders are all survivable. Rome had its fair share over the millenia but survived them all. It was only when the bureaucracy became so large that it cannibalized everything productive and valuable that the empire finally succumbed. That is the threat that America faces today. We have dozens of agencies and and departments that need not exist each one vying for money and influence, and each one looking out for its own interest. It will not be the migrants, nor economic troubles, nor even a foreign power that will lay us low. It will be the very departments and programs that we create to help us rule our nation because the day is coming when we cannot even pretend to pay for our government as it exists now. And when that day comes, if we haven't fundamentally altered how the nation thinks, then we will see our own Constitutio Antoninana moment.
Reading & Phonics In order that our children have access to a wide range of genres, we use a broad spectrum of books, which are levelled in line with the National Curriculum. These are then colour coded to enable the children to independently choose their correctly levelled home reading books. However, support is given to children who need additional help in choosing their books. Within the classroom, children take part in scheduled guided reading lessons, where they are taught the skills of reading. These skills cover a range of strands, including basic word/sound recognition; locating information within a text; deducing what the author means using implied information and the strategies that are used to add interest to texts. Books chosen for these lessons are dependent on ability, age, interests and the particular assessment focus being taught. These books may include fiction, non-fiction, poetry or phonic specific. We are also lucky enough to have both a Key Stage 1 and a Key Stage 2 library, where children are invited to choose their own books. These may be personal interest choices, or topic specific for research within lessons. At the Meadows we teach through the recommended ‘Letters and Sounds’ programme (supplemented where appropriate by resources from the Read, Write Inc, scheme). This is a synthetic (hands-on) and systematic approach where the sounds are taught in a specific order. Some sounds (phonemes) are made up of single letter sounds (e.g. s, a, t, p, i, n), while others are made up of more letters (e.g. ch, ar, igh). The children begin their phonics journey in reception with something called ‘basic code’ – this means they learn one way of spelling each of the letter sounds to help them to read and write. Later on, within Key Stage 1 they will learn the ‘alternative code’ – different ways of making each of the sounds, (e.g. the ‘or’ sound can be written as or, au, augh, aw or oor). The children use a range of resources such as magnetic letters, games, play dough, glitter, flash cards and computer programmes to help them learn. Phonics is taught daily as a discreet subject in short bursts as recommended, but we also bring it into any lesson we are able within Key Stage 1, pointing out the phonemes (the sounds in a word) and the graphemes (how the sounds are written) in order to embed the learning.
You have a program as follows: class Location: def __init__(self, country="US", state="CA", city="Los Angeles"): self.country = country self.state = state self.city = city def printer(self): return [self.country, self.state, self.city] new_loc = Location("Mexico", "Mexico City", "Mexico City", "good neighborhood") print(new_loc.printer()) Here are your choices of what it could print out: a. TypeError: init() takes from 1 to 4 positional arguments but 5 were given b. TypeError: init() takes from 1 to 3 positional arguments but 4 were given c. ['Mexico', 'Mexico City', 'Mexico City'] d. None of the above Which one does it print? Scroll down to see the answer. A. The reason is that the class methods always pass the self when there are stanzas like this: new_loc = Location("Mexico", "Mexico City", "Mexico City", "good neighborhood") The self is invisible, but behind-the-scenes, it is there. It accepts four positional arguments: country, state, city, and self. The line causing the error includes "good neighborhood". To read more about this, see this StackOverflow posting. The arity of the __init__ constructor (in the class Location) is variable -- but passing four arguments is excessive. It can handle three explicit parameters as "self" is passed implicitly. Python will print out "__init__() takes from 1 to 4 positional arguments but 5 were given"
Ever since the term "crowdsourcing" was coined in 2006 by Wired writer Jeff Howe, group activities ranging from the creation of the Oxford English Dictionary to the choosing of new colors for M & Ms have been labeled with this most buzz-generating of media buzzwords. In this accessible but authoritative account, grounded in the empirical literature, Daren Brabham explains what crowdsourcing is, what it is not, and how it works. Crowdsourcing, Brabham tells us, is an online, distributed problem solving and production model that leverages the collective intelligence of online communities for specific purposes set forth by a crowdsourcing organization -- corporate, government, or volunteer. Uniquely, it combines a bottom-up, open, creative process with top-down organizational goals. Crowdsourcing is not open source production, which lacks the top-down component; it is not a market research survey that offers participants a short list of choices; and it is qualitatively different from predigital open innovation and collaborative production processes, which lacked the speed, reach, rich capability, and lowered barriers to entry enabled by the Internet. Brabham describes the intellectual roots of the idea of crowdsourcing in such concepts as collective intelligence, the wisdom of crowds, and distributed computing. He surveys the major issues in crowdsourcing, including crowd motivation, the misconception of the amateur participant, crowdfunding, and the danger of "crowdsploitation" of volunteer labor, citing real-world examples from Threadless, InnoCentive, and other organizations. And he considers the future of crowdsourcing in both theory and practice, describing its possible roles in journalism, governance, national security, and science and health.

- The population has doubled since 1975. - Venezuelans differ from most Latin Americans because a large and increasing majority already lives in cities, concentrated along the Caribbean coast. - Since 1998 the number of people receiving treated drinking water has increased by 3.5 million. - At over 5%, the prevalence of HIV/AIDs remains among the highest in Latin America. - New primary healthcare in poor barrios is still largely staffed from Cuba under barter arrangements for Venezuelan oil, which do not always figure in the statistics. - As in the US, for many years more resources were devoted to private healthcare for the rich than to public healthcare for the majority of Venezuelans. Even so, the Venezuelan total of $272 per person in 2002 spent on health was less than a 20th of that in the US. - Oil provides roughly a third of the country’s Gross Domestic Product, around 80% of export earnings and half of all government revenues. - With 75.6 billion barrels, Venezuela has the largest proven and useable oil reserves in the western hemisphere – sufficient for more than 70 years at current rates of extraction. - The extraction of an estimated 235 billion barrels of heavy oil deposits in the Orinoco delta and river basin is restricted by its cost and environmental destructiveness. - Venezuela also has the nineth largest gas reserves in the world. - It is the world’s fifth largest producer and fourth largest exporter of crude petroleum, supplying about 15% of US oil imports. - PDVSA, the national oil company, owns Citgo, which runs refineries and 15,000 gas stations in the US. - Production, which fell back sharply during the oil dispute in early 2003, has now been restored to previous levels – around three million barrels a day. - Expenditure on education as a proportion of Gross Domestic Product has risen continuously, from 3.4% in 1998 to 4.9% in 2004.2 - Primary education is now provided for 99% of primary-school-age children. - The Government claims that its ‘Misión Robinson’ programme brought literacy to 1.2 million adults in just one year (2004).2 - The biggest long-term improvement has been in secondary enrolment. Similar trends have been occurring more recently in higher education. - With almost 80% of private land owned by just 5% of all landowners, in 1996 (the most recent survey) land ownership was even more concentrated in Venezuela than in Brazil, which is often cited as the worst in the world.3 - By the end of 2003, the Government claimed that some 60,000 rural families had new titles to 2.2 million hectares of largely fallow land, far surpassing the target set by its Plan Zamora earlier in the year.6 - Slower progress has been made on the ‘Vuelta al Campo’ (‘Return to the Countryside’) project. It began in 2003 with 23 families from Caracas who occupied 23 hectares of unused land in the state of Lara.6 - Between 2000 and 2003 there was a small increase in the value added in agriculture, from 4.2% to 4.5% of Gross Domestic Product – matched by a slight decline in Venezuela’s long-established reliance on food imports, reversing long-term trends for the first time in many years.3 - Despite the emphasis on gender in the Bolivarian Constitution, less than 10% of seats in Congress are held by women, ranking the country 114th in the world. - Venezuela does much better with female professional and technical workers, at 61.3% of the total, ranking as high as 14th in the world. - But it does badly on the ratio of female to male earned income, which at 0.42 ranks 114th in the world again. - The Gender Development Index (GDI) adjusts the Human Development Index (HDI) downward for gender inequality, and shows that, nonetheless, Venezuela is ranked slightly better on the GDI (58) than on the HDI (75). - One of the 10 most biodiverse countries on earth, Venezuela officially lost 8.3% of its forest cover – 4.3 million hectares – between 1990 and 2005. There has been no proven reduction in the rate of deforestation since 1998.5 - Mining – much of it illegal – in the south and east causes widespread damage from pollutants such as mercury, used in the extraction of gold. - There are frequent spills from the 130 oil tankers every month which use a narrow channel out of Lake Maracaibo – the most important oil field. - Land surrounding Lake Maracaibo falls by roughly eight centimetres every year due to the extraction of oil beneath it. - Petroleum for vehicles in Venezuela is the cheapest in the world. - Emissions of carbon dioxide are the highest in the region and almost four times higher than in neighbouring Colombia – though still only a fraction of the levels in North America, Australasia or Europe. - The UN’s Human Development Index (HDI) provides a broad measure of a people’s general state of well-being, including health and education. The higher the HDI ‘value’ is, the better, with 1.00 representing absolute perfection. Other UN indices, derived from the HDI, measure poverty and inequality, as well as gender development (see below left). - Despite oil wealth, Venezuela’s people as a whole have so far prospered little, even relative to other countries in the region – though since 2003 their situation has undoubtedly improved. - In 2003 Venezuela still ranked well below the Latin American and Caribbean average on the HDI and was only a little less than halfway down the ranking of every country in the world. POVERTY AND INEQUALITY - Venezuela ranks towards the better end of the Human Poverty Index (HPI), which shows the proportion of people living below a threshold level of life expectancy, health, education and standard of living. - The country is no longer among the most unequal societies in the world – as most other countries in Latin America still are. - However, in 2003 15% of the population still lived on less than $1 a day, and 32% on less than $2 a day. - Unless otherwise stated, all figures are from Human Development Report 2006, UNDP. - World Development Report 2006, World Bank. - Handbook of Statistics 2005, UNCTAD. - ‘Land Reform in Venezuela’, Global Exchange, 2004.

Review of The Psychology of Wants, Interests and Attitudes by Edward L. Thorndike The Psychology of Wants, Interests and Attitudes. By EDWARD L. THORNDIKE. New York: Appleton-Century Co., 1935. Pp. x+301. $3.50. This excellent treatise by a distinguished psychologist seeks to present with the liberal use of experimental findings a theory of the manner in which wants, interests, and attitudes are formed. The thesis presented, stated tersely, is that the emotional and appetitive activities of human beings are the result of a process of repetition and reward. To establish in an individual a desire, want, interest, or attitude, one must induce in him the desired response and then reward this response. With this conception, Thorndike indicates what he regards to be the deficiencies of the usual run of theories of habit formation. This volume will well merit serious consideration by students of social psychology. University of Chicago
The Flying Scotsman: Lessons from the Life of Eric Liddell - Michael J. Kruger President, Reformed Theological Seminary - Updated May 06, 2019 The Bible makes it clear that one of the greatest helps to running the Christian race is to look at the lives of the many saints that have gone before us. The author of Hebrews reminds us that “we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses,” such as Abraham, Moses, Gideon, Sampson, David, and that therefore we should “run with endurance the race that is set before us” (Hebrews 12:1). In other words, the examples of the saints inspire us. And we should follow those examples. Now, the word “example” has fallen on rough times in some quarters of the evangelical church. Some suggest that if we put forth biblical characters as examples that we are in danger of “moralizing” the Bible. However, the problem with such an idea is that the Bible itself puts forth the saints of old as examples. In addition to the passage above from Hebrews, Paul does something similar in 1 Corinthians. But instead of positive examples, Paul appeals to negative ones: “Now these things took place as examples for us, that we might not desire evil as they did” (1 Corinthians 10:6). But it is not just to biblical characters that we can look as examples (positively or negatively). We can also look at the lives of the saints throughout modern history and be inspired, encouraged, and motivated by their faithfulness. One particular example of such a saint is the Scottish Olympic sprinter, Eric Liddell (1902-1945). I have recently read several biographies of Eric Liddell as I have prepared to teach on his life at my home church. Made famous by the 1981 film Chariots of Fire, Eric’s life was an example of what faithful devotion to Christ can accomplish. Refusing to run on Sunday, he withdrew from the 100 meters in the 1924 Paris Olympics—his very best event and the one for which he had trained. Instead he ran in the 400 meters, an event in which he was decidedly not favored. And he won the gold. His legacy, however, was not being an Olympic champion. His legacy was that he stood for truth even when his own well-being (and popularity) was bound to suffer. In short, Eric Liddell valued God’s glory more than his own glory. I also have a personal interest in Eric Liddell’s life simply because I have walked and lived in many of the same places he did. He studied at the University of Edinburgh (as did I) and lived there for many years of his life. In the 1981 film there is even a brief shot of Eric Liddell running up the steps at New College, where the Edinburgh divinity faculty resides. This is the view here: Over the next several months, I plan to offer a number of blog posts on lessons learned from the life of Eric Liddell. Why? Because he is a modern example of the man in Psalms 1: “Blessed is the man who walks not in the counsel of the wicked... but his delight is in the Law of the Lord and on his law he meditates day and night” (Psalms 1:1-2).

Back to School: Tips for Parents and Caregivers Making the transition from summer fun to the start of the school year is difficult for children and, often, for adults. Who wants to go from sleeping in late and playing all day to waking up early and dealing with school work and social pressures? Parents and caregivers must also get back into the routine of helping kids with homework at night, preparing bagged lunches and snacks and following their children’s progress in school. There are ways, however, for parents and caregivers to ease the change in schedule and prepare themselves and their children for the challenges and, yes, even the fun of the school year. Dr. Andrea S. Libresco, a professor of Teaching, Literacy and Leadership at Hofstra University offers the following tips for parents and guardians: Prepare yourself and your child AND the teacher. Reduce anxiety of the unknown. *Spend time reading books about school, talking with your child about school, and what might happen on the first day before classes begin. *Bring your child to school in advance. (Teach your middle schooler how to open a lock.) *Let your child know it’s okay to feel nervous when starting school; let him know that teachers and other kids are nervous, too. *Help your child establish a regular routine to get ready for school – involve her in choices about what to wear, what to bring for lunch, what school supplies to purchase (depending on teacher’s instructions). *You and your child should get up early enough (and go to bed early enough) so that no one starts the day feeling rushed. (Ease into a back-to-school schedule over a period of at least a week.) And do leave a little time for the unexpected – a shoelace breaking, an extra bathroom visit – so there is no mad dash at the end. *If there’s anything that the teacher needs to know about your child or family situation (recent loss, special needs, stressful financial situation), be proactive and communicate with the teacher and other school personnel prior to the start of school. Be enthusiastic. Parents can set the tone of embracing exciting new changes. *Focus on fun. If you escort your child to school, check out the playground before you go in. Meet the teacher together. Take a look around the new classroom for things you know she enjoys – fish tank, art supplies, etc. *Don’t draw out the good-byes. Don’t let your separation anxieties become your child’s. *If your child seems unenthusiastic about school, ask him what is wrong. It may be a very specific problem (“The big kids on the playground never get off the swings.”) that you and your child together can talk about with the teacher. *And, if your child has ongoing trouble adjusting, do ask the school for help – teacher, guidance counselor, principal. Be a partner in your child’s learning. Learning is ongoing – in & out of school *Support your child’s reading – with reading aloud, shared reading from a variety of different types of sources. There is no age that is too old for read-alouds: picture books, chapter books, the funnies, a Metropolitan Diary story in the NY Times, sports page stats, a political cartoon, a compelling photograph. *Encourage questions of all kinds by wondering aloud and noticing things as you read, hang out or travel with your child. “I wonder how much weight that bridge could hold, how many trucks and cars at one time…” *Help your child become a problem-solver and independent learner by asking her to evaluate her work, versus your passing judgment on it. *Get to know the teacher and what goes on in the classroom by going to school events, seeing the work on the walls. If you have a positive relationship with the teacher and the school, your child will feel safer and can put his energy into learning. Be available. For your child and for her education. *Chat with your child about her day, but not with the old “How was school today?,” which requires a summary (and often a vague) judgment. Instead, ask a few more specific questions (without grilling): “What was the most fun today?” “How did soccer go?” “Did you ask your teacher about that math homework?” “Hear about any great books that you’re dying to read today?” *Let your child play and get exercise after school while it’s light outside; then support a particular work time and place where you can check in periodically. *Support your child’s work, but don’t do your child’s work. Find out the best ways to do this from the teacher. For example, with respect to writing, your teacher may be okay with going over your child’s writing, as long as she can see what the child did first and how you helped edit. *Over the first month, find out how you can support the teacher and the work that goes on in school. If the class is studying nature, take a walk with your child. If they’re studying Ancient Egypt, go to the Met. Be an activist. Education matters, so educate yourself about education matters. *Now that your child is in school, you have a vested interest in our education system. Work to get qualified teachers in every classroom, in buildings that are kept up, attended by children who are well-fed, whose families have books in their home, whose communities are safe. *Be alert to the role that standardized testing plays in your child’s education. If you have concerns, find out about groups that are challenging the time and emphasis given to testing in schools. *Get involved in passing school budgets. Work and vote for candidates who support good education for all children. As Teddy Roosevelt said, “This country will not be a good place for any of us to live in if it is not a reasonably good place for all of us to live in.”
Sexual Orientation, Determinants of Sexual Orientation, Determinants of A person’s sexual orientation concerns whether he or she is sexually attracted to people of the same sex, the opposite sex, or both. Starting in the nineteenth century, scientists, physicians, and mental health specialists have offered numerous theories of how people develop sexual orientations. What determines a person’s sexual orientation remains a question of much scientific, psychological, and social scientific controversy. Current biological theories focus on genes, brains, and hormones. For much of the twentieth century, scientists believed that gay men and lesbians had gender-atypical hormone levels in their bodies; for example, they thought that lesbians had more testosterone and less estrogen in their systems than did heterosexual women. Recent studies have shown that almost all lesbians and gay men have the same circulating hormone levels as their heterosexual counterparts. In response, current hormonal theories propose a link between sexual orientation and prenatal hormone levels. As prenatal hormone levels play a role in the organization of the developing brain, the idea is that different prenatal hormones levels could explain sexual orientation differences among adults. This prenatal hormonal hypothesis is premised largely on observations that early hormone exposure determines both the repertoire of mating behaviors exhibited by laboratory animals and the morphology of particular brain regions believed to modulate those behaviors. Over the past few decades, confirmed sex differences in the size of several brain structures in various laboratory animals have lead to speculation regarding parallel differences in the human brain associated with sex and sexual orientation. Several of the structural sex differences identified in animals involve specific cell groups in a region of the rodent hypothalamus involved in regulating particular mating behaviors. One such anatomical sex difference in rodents develops in response to sex differences in early exposure to sex hormones and involves a part of a rodent’s hypothalamus called the sexually dimorphic nucleus of the preoptic area (SDN-POA). In the laboratory, damage in the vicinity of the SDN-POA decreases mounting behavior, and electrical stimulation of the region elicits mounting behavior. These observations established the belief that the SDN-POA participates in regulating male sexual behavior. That belief lacks critical support because the destruction of the SDN-POA of male rats does not, however, disrupt mounting behavior. The function of the SDN-POA remains to be elucidated. The belief that the SDN-POA participates in regulating sex behavior in rats led to the search for a comparable nucleus in humans. The human third interstitial nucleus of the anterior hypothalamus (INAH3) has been identified as the most promising candidate. This nucleus is much larger and contains substantially more neurons in presumed heterosexual men than in women. By extrapolation from animal work, this human sex difference is widely believed to reflect sex differences in early hormone exposure, but this hypothesis is exceedingly difficult to test in humans. The AIDS epidemic has, however, made it possible to study this nucleus in men whose medical records indicate homosexual behavior. These studies suggest that the volume of INAH3 may be smaller in homosexual men than in heterosexual men; however, that finding must be viewed tentatively for various reasons, including that all the homosexual men in these studies died from complications of AIDS. Researchers have also sought to identify variation with sex and sexual orientation in the bundles of fibers that connect the left and right hemispheres of the brain. These studies have produced conflicting results regarding variation with both sex and sexual orientation. Inside each person’s cells are chains of DNA that act as a recipe for making that person. Determining the role a portion of genetic material plays in the development of a particular human trait is complicated, although there has been some success for specific anatomical and physiological traits. It is much more difficult to identify genetic material that influences complex psychological traits such as sexual orientations. One way to infer the extent to which a trait is genetic is to study twins. Identical twins share 100 percent of their genetic material. Fraternal twins are genetically only as closely related as non-twin biological siblings, sharing only 50 percent of their DNA. Because identical twins are genetically identical, differences between them are due to their pre- or post-natal environment, not genes. This inference does not work in the other direction. If identical twins have the same trait, it might be because they were raised in the same environment. Sophisticated studies have assessed sexual orientation in identical twins, same-sex fraternal twins, non-twin biological siblings, and similarly-aged unrelated adopted siblings. The idea is that if sexual orientation is genetic, identical twins should have the same sexual orientation, and the rate of homosexuality among the adopted siblings should be equal to the rate in the general population. If, on the other hand, identical twins and adopted siblings are as likely to have the same sexual orientation, then genetic factors make very little contribution to sexual orientation. Subjects recruited through ads in gay publications looking for volunteers with twins of the same sex were asked to rate their own sexual orientation, the sexual orientation of their relatives, and for permission to contact their siblings. In these studies, identical twins of gay men and lesbians were substantially more likely to share their sibling’s sexual orientation than were fraternal twins. The result of such twin studies are difficult to interpret because gays and lesbians seem more likely to volunteer themselves and their twin siblings for such studies when they have gay or lesbian siblings. When the proportions of identical and fraternal twins who are concordant for homosexuality are examined in databases of twins who were not selected on the basis of sexual orientation, the estimates for heritability of homosexuality are much lower than when subjects are selected from newspaper ads recruiting on the basis of sexual orientation. Building on the twin studies, scientists have tried to isolate the portion of the human genome that hypothetically influences sexual orientation. One such study began with the observation that some studies had found that homosexuality in men seems to follow the maternal line of the family. Some have interpreted this pattern among gay men’s families, which has only sometimes been observed, as suggesting that male homosexuality, similar to color blindness, is inherited from one’s mother on the X chromosome. To test the hypothesis that the X chromosomes contains genes that influence sexual orientation, families with at least two gay brothers were recruited from a sample of families in which homosexuality appeared to follow the maternal line. DNA samples were obtained from two gay brothers in each subject families. Samples were then analyzed using linkage analysis to determine how frequently the gay brothers had inherited markers from the same X chromosome of their mother. Because mothers have two X chromosomes but only pass one to their sons, one would expect two sons to have a 50 percent chance of sharing markers from the same maternal X chromosome. One research team, however, reported that when both sons were gay, 64 percent appeared to have inherited a particular portion of the same maternal chromosome (known as the Xq28 region). This finding was interpreted as suggesting that genes influencing sexual orientation in men may reside on the Xq28 region. That suggestion must be viewed cautiously because it has been criticized on the basis of multiple technical and statistical concerns, and two independent research teams have failed to replicate it. More generally, linkage analysis is best suited for discovering the genetic basis of traits determined in a genetically simple manner rather than traits that are influenced by several genes working in concert. This technique has mistakenly indicated that a specific genetic sequence plays a role in the development of a particular trait. Such mistakes are especially likely in the case of genetically complex traits, cognitively mediated psychological/behavioral traits, or those traits strongly affected by environmental factors. In addition to linkage analysis, some studies have looked for differences related to sexual orientation in candidate genes chosen on the basis of their involvement in the hormonal mechanisms of sexual differentiation and development. To date, these studies have not produced positive findings. In any event, genes in themselves cannot directly cause a behavior or a psychological phenomenon. Genes direct RNA synthesis that in turn leads to the production of a protein that may influence the development of psychological dispositions and particular behaviors. There are many intervening pathways between a gene and a behavior or a behavioral disposition and even more intervening variables between a gene and a cognitively mediated behavior. None of the most popular scientific theories of the determinants of sexual orientations are well supported. This does not mean, however, that sexual orientations are not biological in the sense that all psychological phenomena require the activity of a living brain. Rather than asking whether or not sexual orientations are biological, the more salient question is what role biology plays in the development of sexual orientations. Biology would still be a factor in sexual orientation if there are multiple pathways to the development of a particular sexual orientation. Biological factors may also play a role if they influence temperamental or personality factors that shape how a person interacts with the environment and experiences of it, which in turn affects the development of one’s sexual orientation.

One of the projects is to determine the genetic basis of high IQ. His team is sampling 1,000 Chinese adults with an IQ higher than 145, comparing their genomes with those of an equal number of randomly picked control subjects. Zhao acknowledges that such projects linking intelligence with genes may be controversial but “more so elsewhere than in China,” he says, adding that several U.S. research groups have contacted him for collaboration. “Everybody is interested in intelligence,” he says. Hong Kong supercomputers will be used to analyze the genetic information Ethical and privacy concerns have hindered such work in America and Europe. According to Professor Steve Hsu, who comes to the study from the University of Oregon, scientists have identified several candidate genes that may relate to IQ, although researchers are not yet sure. He said about 50 per cent of humans' IQ is substantially [heritable]. Dec, 2010, Yin Ye, BGI's vice-president, said researchers have already made some discoveries about IQ genes, but "it's too early to make public our results". Theoretically if the genetic basis could be found for 50% of high intelligence then some of the effects of those genes could be mimicked with medication or gene therapy.

You might be wondering how and why the lottery exists. In this article, we’ll explore the history, rules, and odds of winning this popular game. But before we get into those, let’s look at the history of lotteries in general. Lottery history stretches back to ancient times, when the Old Testament Moses divided land amongst the Israelites, and the Roman emperors are said to have given slaves and property in lotteries. The United States began banging lotteries during the late 18th century, though a handful of states still operate lotteries today. The history of the lottery dates back to ancient times, when lots were used for the purpose of deciding ownership of land. Lotteries were popular in Europe in the late fifteenth and early sixteenth centuries. The Netherlands was one of the first countries to adopt lotteries, and the name lottery comes from the Dutch word “lot” meaning “fate.” In the United States, the history of the lottery goes back to 1612 when King James I of England created a lottery to raise funds for his settlement in Jamestown, Virginia. The United States has a complicated relationship with gambling, yet many of its founding fathers participated in the lottery. It is also possible that many historical institutions such as universities and colleges were financed by organized lotteries. Odds of winning If you’ve ever pondered the odds of winning the lottery, you’ve probably wondered what the chances are of hitting the jackpot. The chances are so low that you might even lose your common sense. For example, the odds of winning a million dollars in the Powerball or Mega Millions are only one in 24.9. However, there are more unlikely outcomes: a murder in the Grand Canyon is 35 times more likely than winning the jackpot. The odds of getting polydactyly (extra fingers or toes) range from one in 500 to one in a thousand. A lottery scam is a classic example of advance fee fraud. The scam begins with an unexpected notification. A person may win the lottery and receive a cheque for an undetermined amount. However, this is not the end of the scam; it could just be the beginning of more trouble. In this article, we’ll look at how to spot lottery scams and how to avoid falling prey to them. After all, it’s always best to play it safe and protect yourself. The Rules of Lottery are a set of regulations that govern the operation of the lottery game. These rules may include the price of a winning ticket, methods of prize verification, and the payment of prizes. They should be read and studied carefully by any lottery enthusiast before participating in the game. To learn more about the Rules of Lottery, contact the governing body for your country’s lottery or seek the advice of lottery experts. Once you have a basic understanding of the rules, you can play the lottery safely and legally. The United States’ state lotteries are among the fastest-growing categories of consumer expenditure. Per capita lottery spending has increased by 13 percent annually after adjusting for inflation between 1975 and 1988. Lottery products are popular with the general public, but relatively few people account for the majority of the action. Several studies have examined socioeconomic patterns of lottery playing. The Engle curve shows that lottery expenditures decrease as income increases, but it is unclear whether this is true for all lotteries.
A lack of access to modern energy services such as household access to electricity and clean cooking facilities The modern world runs on energy. It is used to cook, heat homes, charge electronics and light cities. Because we always have access to energy we often take it for granted.There are 1 billion people in the world that do not have access to energy and 3 billion that their well-being is negatively affected by a low energy consumption, use of dirty or polluting fuels and excessive time spent collecting fuel to meet basic needs. According to the International Energy Agency (IEA), for people in developing countries, having access to energy is fundamental to reducing poverty and improving health, increasing productivity, enhancing competitiveness and promoting economic growth. The IEA also says the cost of providing universal access to energy by 2030 would require annual investment of $35 billion. Black carbon - emitted by gas and diesel engines and released through the burning of wood, peat charcoal, and other solid fuels - is the second most significant contributor to climate change after carbon dioxide. The inefficient burning of solid fuels on an open fire or traditional stove indoors creates a dangerous cocktail of hundreds of pollutants, primarily carbon monoxide and small particles, but also nitrogen oxides, benzene, butadiene, formaldehyde, polyaromatic hydrocarbons and many other health-damaging chemicals. Stongest felt in Africa, 80 percent of people use some form of wood fuel as their primary source of domestic energy. In addition to damaging the environment by contributing to the rapid shrinking of Africa’s rainforests and woodlands, exposure to household air pollution, especially smoke from cooking fires, causes 3.8 million premature deaths each year, mostly in low- and middle-income countries, according to the World Health Organisation (WHO). 98,000 Nigerian women die each year from the use of firewood, with thousands more at risk of severe health problems. Switch Energy Alliance Switch Energy Alliance (SEA) is a not-for-profit organization dedicated to inspiring an energy-educated future that is objective, nonpartisan, and sensible. SEA's global video- and web-based approach engages students and general viewers in a positive conversation to work collaboratively on energy challenges. The organization reaches millions of people of all ages where they live and learn: online, in classrooms, in professional training and in museums. SEA has released its latest film, Switch On, about energy access in the developing world. The film addresses the issue of energy poverty and shows first hand how it effects 1 billion people. Switch On is the sequel to Switch the film that explores the world’s leading energy sites, from coal to solar, oil to biofuels and gets straight answers from the international leaders driving energy today.

Imagine that you have received some land to use as you wish. How would you use this land? Use specific reasons and examples to support your answer. Land is a valuable resource, and it is important to use it effective to create something that all people can enjoy. I therefore propose to use the land to build a campground. At the present time, there’s little low-cost recreation in the are where I live. Building a campground would change that. Ultimately a campground would make a more enjoyable environment for everyone. - Toefl writing: Do you prefer doing work by hand or using machines? - Looking forward to new experiences or staying the same, which one do you prefer? - Will you recommend a business or a farming research center for your country? - Do you agree or disagree: “Playing games teaches us about life” ? - Toefl ibt writing: What is the most important animal in your country ? Local entertainment is simply too expensive. A nice evening out can cost as much as one hundred dollars. Even movies and other less expensive types of entertainment are no longer cheap. Further, there are no real recreational facilities nearby. There are no parks within 30 miles. There are very few basketball courts, and most of those are ib poor condition. Building a campground could change all that. Staying overnight at a campground is very inexpensive. It can cost as little as thirty dollars. Further, there would be a sports area and picnic tables for use by campers and also those who do not wish to stay overnight. A campground would provide a lot of activities for very little money. That would definitely improve this area. The result of building a campground will be that many more people will be able to afford an enjoyable evening out .A campground also promotes healthy living. People can get out and breathe fresh air. They can walk and bike and play basketball or other sports. That is certainly better than spending an evening sitting down, eating buttery popcorn in a movie theater. A campground will make the area beautiful as well as functional. We have many wonderful natural resources, but we need to cultivate them. In addition to all the other good things it can bring, building a campground will help us do just that.
Nanosprings could hold biomolecules for micro-reactions used in the production of pharmaceuticals, for bio-sensors and for diagnostic medical devices. Look for biomedical applications of nanosprings within three years. RColinJohnson @NextGenLog Silicon dioxide nanosprings resemble old-style curled-up phone cords. Here is what EETimes says about nanosprings: Silicon nanosprings resembling old-fashioned phone cords can carry biological catalysts for medical electronics devices, according to researchers at Oregon State University (OSU). Nanotechnology has enabled a variety of tiny structures to be mass-produced for everything from smaller transistor channels to anti-counterfeiting mechanisms. Now the commercial production of nanosprings, fashioned from the semiconductor insulation material silicon dioxide and grown using the same chemical vapor deposition process used to manufacture semiconductors, could be poised to revolutionize biomedical devices.

As droves of longtime growers leave the tobacco business, Coyner, 29, is trying to break in. He raised a half-acre of the crop last year, producing 500 pounds of tobacco. He took it to an auction in Danville, Ky. and sold it all for $1.81 per pound. “I was surprised, the market was holding itself up,” he said. He plans to raise five and a half acres this year and predicts he’ll get at least 2,000 pounds of tobacco from it. There were 544 tobacco farms in West Virginia in 2002, according to a 2004 U.S. Department of Agriculture report. The state Department of Agriculture doesn’t track the number of tobacco growers. But Roger Quarles, president of the Kentucky-based Burley Tobacco Growers Co-Operative Association, says there aren’t many left. “If I said 20, I might be exaggerating,” he said. “It never was a huge thing, but it was something.” Quarles said many tobacco farmers left the business after the federal government’s 2004 buyout of tobacco quotas. For years, the federal government regulated tobacco growers by issuing allotments. Farmers were allowed to grow a certain acreage of tobacco on their lands, depending on the size of their fields. Growers had to purchase allotments from other landowners if they wished to increase their production or lease land from other farmers. The government eventually changed the system from an acreage-based allotment to a per-pound quota, where farmers were allowed to produce a specific amount of tobacco each year. All that went away when Congress passed a $10.1 billion buyout for tobacco growers. The buyout gave farmers a dollar for every pound of tobacco in their quota, with the payments spread over a 10-year period. Then in 2005, the government lifted all quota restrictions on tobacco growers. That drove tobacco prices down as supply overtook demand. According to a North Carolina State University article from that year, tobacco prices fell from $1.85 to $2 per pound before the buyout to $1.30 to $1.50 in November 2005. U.S. tobacco production has decreased dramatically since then. In 2002, the U.S. produced 428,631 acres of tobacco, according to USDA data. In 2011, the most recent data available, farmers raised 336,050 acres of tobacco. A new crop Many farmers have left the tobacco industry for other crops. Ray Ferguson now grows asparagus on his Lincoln County farm. His father-in-law, Joe Ware, started the farm about 40 years ago. When Ferguson married into the family 25 years ago, Ware was raising 10 acres of tobacco. By the time the farm stopped growing tobacco, it was down to five acres. “Everything was different back then,” he said. “Back then, I could make $750, $1,000 on just half an acre if you had good tobacco.” The family got out of the tobacco business a few years before the buyout. Ware Farms’ tobacco sold for $2.20 per pound that last year. Ferguson now sells his asparagus for $2.75 per pound. “It’s been good to me. It’s as good as tobacco ever was to me,” he said. Ware Farms is now the state’s largest asparagus grower and produces 6,000 pounds of asparagus yearly. Ferguson was inspired to grow the vegetable while preparing to grill steaks one day. He decided he wanted some asparagus to go with his meat, and went to pick some from a small patch in his wife’s grandfather’s garden. To his dismay, someone had already picked the asparagus patch clean. Ferguson headed to the local grocery store to purchase a pound or two. He became even more dismayed.
When looking at large corporations today a high percentage seem to combine the roles of CEO and Chairman meaning the two quite significantly different positions are carried out by the same person. Combining these two roles, however, can create a fundamental conflict of interest. It is vital to a company’s success to have different external perspectives but how can the CEO and Chairman have different perspectives if the role is played by the same person? There’s no right or wrong answer to this and different businesses operate in different ways but there are numerous reasons why companies can benefit if these two roles are separate. First let’s look at the difference between the two roles. The role of a CEO The CEO, formally known as the chief executive officer, is the highest ranking person in a company or organization. They are the person that all other executives within the company report to and the one that is responsible for making major corporate decisions and managing the overall operations of a company. The CEO should also act as the main point of communication between the board of directors and rest of the company. The role of a CEO can often vary depending on the size, industry and structure of a company but they are typically elected by the board of directors and instructed to deal with the important strategic decisions and be the public face of the company. The role of a Chairman A chairman is selected by the board of directors to lead, but not manage, all business that is carried out by the board. They are appointed to provide the board guidance and direction but they do not hold any sort of managing power over the other members. The chairman’s main roles are to communicate with shareholders, take the lead at board meetings and when reviewing or discussing the structure of the board. The board as a collective with a chairman appointed then has the highest level of authority in the company. Why should the roles be separate? These are two extremely important roles within high-growth companies, if not the most important and therefore there’s strong argument that the roles should be performed by two different people. Firstly, separating the roles means that there’s clear distinction between the board and the management and it eliminates conflict when it comes to performance evaluation, recruitment and other areas. Being the CEO of a company is a full-time role and all their efforts should be focused on company operations and strategy. If they have chairman responsibilities as well then it’s likely that some things will be neglected as they will have too much on their agenda. Being a Chairman can be an intense role and this should always be considered when recruiting for this position. The employment of an independent chairman means that one director can clearly speak on behalf of the board and can encourage open conversations between the board and the CEO. These meetings can encourage other members to share their opinions and views that could challenge and make the CEO think differently. Afterall, part of the CEO’s role is to report positive and negative company goings on and suggest improvements and ideas to be discussed by the board but if the CEO is the Chairman then he’s essentially reporting to himself and this can cause issues when it comes to the structure of the company. The debate about whether these two roles should be separate continues and although it’s advised it really depends on the company structure, size and what works best.

Sikh History – The Introductory Episode Welcome to the Sikh History podcast. This podcast series provides a fascinating look into the sparkling lives of the Sikhs from the 15th to the 18th centuries, transporting us back to the times of our ancestors. This podcast provides a historic context to the evolution of the Sikh religion, our values, our thoughts, our principles and our ethics and the reasons for our phenomenal successes as a strong knit worldwide community. Episode 1: This episode chronicles the birth and growth of the Sikh religion from the birth of the founder Guru Nanak in 1469 to the death of Guru Gobind Singh in 1708. At about the same time, the Mughal empire established itself in India and followed a policy of persecution and oppression. The Sikh gurus opposed such policies and sacrificed their lives to uphold the people’s right to religion, justice and freedom. This episode contrasts these developments and highlights the major events that led to the growth of the Sikh religion. Based on Panth Prakash by Rattan Singh Bhangoo, History of the Sikhs by Khushwant Singh and inspired by the Sikh History lectures of Bhai Amrik Singh. Waheguru ji da khalsa , waheguru ji di fateh. Welcome to the Sikh History podcast. This podcast series provides a fascinating look into the sparkling lives of the Sikhs from the founding of the Sikh faith in the 15th century to the present day, transporting us back to the times of our ancestors. This podcast provides a historic context to the evolution of the Sikh religion, our values, our thoughts, our principles and our ethics and the reasons for our phenomenal successes as a strong knit worldwide community. To understand the Sikh religion and way of life, the Sikh values and Sikhi better, I cannot but stress how important it is for us to be aware of our history – to know about the times our ancestors lived in. Sikh history is a wonderful peak into our past that tells us how we came into being – both as people and as a community. It is a huge repository of information about how Sikhs have evolved in the last 500 years; the path our ancestors took to preserve the teachings of our Gurus. History also has a message for us – for all of us living in the present – It is simply impossible to separate the Sikh identity from the Sikh history and the more we know our past, the better we can nurture our present selves. The second point about history is that it contributes to our moral understanding – in a sense that when we attempt to understand the moral dilemmas that people in the past faced, people who have weathered adversity in real difficult circumstances, we take away extremely valuable lessons in courage, in diligence and about how to shape our moral thinking. Everyday, around the world, in every Gurudwara, we do the Ardaas in which we recount our history, a history that connects us to our past – gives us the courage to face our present and the confidence to venture into the future with a blossoming pride in our heritage. It is only from history that we can learn things that would make us better humans. The stories of our past tell us what led to the success and failure of people. If we leave our history, we cannot understand our past and can never lead our future. For Sikhs, the period of early 18th century was one of tremendous upheaval. Sikhs were always in a state of war against the Mughal empire in North India, with the result that very few historical accounts were recorded. The East India company which had been rapidly colonizing India, finally managed to get a foothold in the Punjab. Curious to understand how a small community could stand up against the might of the Mughal empire, the British wanted to know everything about the Sikhs. It was necessary for them to understand the might of the Khalsa, in order to someday, establish their reign over Punjab. A British commander by the name of Captain David Murray commissioned Bute Shah, a well known Muslim cleric in the court of the Mughal emperor, Farrukh Siyar, to write a history of the Sikhs. By all measures his report was biased against the Sikhs. A chance meeting between Captain Murray and Rattan Singh Bhangoo set the record straight,. When Murray sought Rattan Singh’s opinion of the Sikhs, Rattan Singh Bhangoo responded by writing the Panth Prakash, which remains an authentic source of information on the Sikhs in the 18th century. The historical significance of Panth Prakash lies in the fact that its author Rattan Singh belonged to a historic family that had experienced various stages of persecution of the Sikhs. His grandfather Mehtab Singh was one of the leaders of 18th century Sikhs and had fought against the atrocities of Zakaria Khan, the most ruthless Mughal Governor of Punjab. Also through marriage he was close to the misl leaders. By narrating the accounts of Sikhs Rattan Singh Bhangoo has made significant contribution in understanding the lives of the 18th century Sikhs. He was the first person to record the history of Sikh martyrs in an objective manner and his writings have inspired many a tales of Sikh valor and folklore. With that introduction in mind, lets go back to the founding of the Sikh religion and through this series of podcasts, gradually trace our steps to the present. The history of the Sikhs starts in 1469 AD with the birth of Guru Nanak and can be divided into 3 major eras. We have the period of 1469 to about 1707 – which is characterized by the physical presence of the 10 Gurus. During this period, the rock solid foundation of Sikhism was laid. Sikh teachings were revolutionary in that they stressed on Ek Onkar, the monotheistic aspect of God, the equality of all men and women and advocacy for a casteless society, and the Sikh way of life that can be summarized as Naam Japna, or remembering God in our actions, the importance of Kirt Karni, or earning an honest living, and Vand Chakna, the practice of sharing with fellow humanity. The second period of Sikh history is between 1707 and 1839 – from the short lived period of Banda Singh Bahadur to the end of the reign of Maharaja Ranjit Singh. This era tested the resolve of the Sikhs to survive as an independent community, distinct from the prevailing society and its norms. The third era comprises the lives of Sikhs since 1840 to the modern day, with a look at the partition of the Punjab between India and Pakistan in 1947, the Indian state sponsored anti-Sikh pogroms of 1984 and the emigration of Sikhs from the Punjab to all corners of the world, forming a truly global community, bound by a common history and the love of the Guru Granth Sahib. Guru Nanak traveled far and wide and wherever he went, he gained followers for his newly founded Sikh faith. These followers had broken away from their original communities for eg. the Hindus or Muslims or the Sufis etc. The result was that in his lifetime, Guru Nanak was able to create a community of people who had much more in common amongst themselves than to the communities they originally belonged to. Kushwant Singh, the famous Sikh author, has proposed that this ideal gave birth to the collective Punjabi consciousness and the Punjabi nationalism as distinct from all others. Guru Angad succeeded Guru Nanak and in his own quiet way he started to consolidate the still infant Sikh philosophy. He established Sikh centers of learning across the Punjab and sent out copies of Guru Nanaks shabads and hymns to each. In this process, Guru Angad also created the Gurmukhi script – consisting of 35 letters – all taken from Guru Nanak’s compositions. This step had far reaching consequences on the Sikh literary tradition and the Gurmukhi script became the nucleus of Sikh writings. It gave the Sikhs a written language distinct from the written languages of the Hindus and the Muslims and further fostered a sense of them being a distinct people. Almost concurrent to when Guru Nanak was preaching his message of Ek Onkar, at the turn of the 15th century, Babar, the founder of the Mughal empire, had started his invasion of the Punjab in order to establish his empire in India. Babar’s first contact with the Sikhs began when his army imprisoned Guru Nanak in Saidpur, a small town near Islamabad, while Guru Nanak was returning from his travels to Baghdad in Iraq. Guru Nanak was subsequently released at the personal intervention of Babur. Although Babur’s autobiography fails to mention the Guru, Guru Nanak wrote several passages criticizing the brutalities unleashed by the Mughal army in its invasion of India. Babur’s son, Humayun, came to power during the guruship of Guru Angad and remained indifferent to the Sikhs and to Guru Angad. By the time Humyun’s son Akbar inherited the throne, Sikhism was flourishing in Punjab under the Guruship of the third Guru – Guru Amar Das, who had established his own center at Goindval. When Akbar visited Goindval to meet Guru Amar Das, he was so impressed with the way of life in Goindval that he assigned the revenue of several villages to Guru Amar Das’s daughter Bibi Bhani as a marriage gift. Political and social relations between the Sikhs and the Mughals were at their best during this time. Guru Amar Das introduced many innovations which tended to break the close affiliations of the Sikhs with the Hindus or the Muslims in India. Prominently, women were given equal rights as men and the practice of sati, the burning of widows along with their husband’s funeral pyre, was strictly forbidden, second, recitation of hymns of the Gurus replaced the chanting of Sanskrit shlokas at the time of birth and death and third, Guru Amar Das advocated monogamy and widow remarriage as means to uplifting the state of women in society. THese measures aroused the hostility of the Brahmins who complained to Akbar – While Akbar never interfered with the Sikh way of life, there was evidence now of the strong opposition to sikh teachings from both the Hindu brahmins and the Muslims. This was the beginning of the oppression of the Sikhs – their first big break from the Hindu social polity and which subsequently compelled them to take up arms. The Fourth Guru, Guru Ram Das led a relatively peaceful life and composed hymns while consolidating the Sikh ethos in the midst of his followers. His son, Guru Arjan Dev, succeeded him as the Fifth guru and in 1588 built the Harmandir Sahib at Amritsar – it has since become the most important place in the Sikh history. By 1604 he had combined the teachings of all the gurus into the Guru Granth Sahib and anointed Baba Buddha as the first granthi. In 1606, Akbar passed away and Jehangir succeeded him. Jehangir was opposed to the geowing influence of the Sikhs and the political climate changed against the Sikhs. Jehangir demanded that Guru Arjan convert to Islam. Guru Arjan upheld his right to practice his religion in peace and when he did not agree to Jehangir’s wishes, he was tortured to death in Lahore on May 30, 1606. The brutal murder of Guru Arjan was a shock to the Sikhs – and when Guru Hargobind took over as the Sixth Guru, he had two swords girded around his waist – one to symbolize spiritual power and one temporal. At Gwalior, he cultivated an army and over 800 horses, 300 troopers on horseback and 60 men with firearms were always under his disposal. His real troubles however began after Jehangir’s death in 1627 when Shah Jahan became the emperor. There were now frequent clashes between the Sikhs and the emperor’s forces and the peaceful atmosphere gave way to war cries on all sides. Guru Hargobind was succeeded by Guru Har Rai, Guru Harkrishan and Guru Teg Bahadur in quick succession – in the meantime, Aurangzeb became the new Mughal emperor. Although quite learned in the Muslim tradition, Aurangzeb persecuted the Sikhs and was intolerant of other religions – he demolished temples and imposed taxes on Hindus for visiting their holy pilgrimage sites. Guru Tegh Bahadur stood up against Aurangzeb’s design of forcibly converting Hindus to Islam and paid dearly with his life. Aurangzeb had him executed on November 11, 1675 in Delhi. This was the final straw in the relationship between the Sikhs and the Mughals and there was open hostility between the two thereafter. Guru Gobind Singh, who succeeded Guru Teg Bahadur, organized the Sikhs as an army. In a letter to Aurangzeb titled the Zafarnama, he wrote: When all other means have failed, it is permissible to draw the sword”. Guru Gobind fought many battles to uphold the rights to freedom, equality and justice – the three most important virtues in Sikh philosophy and thought. The first battle was fought and won in 1686 against the Rajput kings who had betrayed the Guru’s army and sided with Aurangzeb. In 1687, he was again victorious against the uprising of the hill chiefs who were always looking to gain favor with the Mughals, not withstanding the earlier sacrifices of the Sikh Gurus to protect these same chiefs and their subjects from Mughal atrocities. The period between 1687 – 1699 was rather peaceful and during this time, Guru Gobind gave the Sikhs the gift of the the present day Khalsa – a whole new religion and identity came into being during the Baisakhi celebrations of 1699 – an identity that was focused on the ideals of equality for all humanaity, remembrance of God, earning an honest living and giving away in charity first taught by Guru Nanak. It should be noted that Sikhs did not shy away from living up to those same ideals even when the Mughal rulers subjected them to personal atrocities – and the magnitude of these inhuman tortures is just impossible to imagine today. Within a few months a whole new people were born – they kept their beards, wore their long hair in turbans, armed at most times, and with a zeal to build a new community. The proclamation of the Khalsa in 1699, most certainly made the hill chiefs even more nervous and they collaborated with Aurangzeb’s forces to “teach the Sikhs a lesson”. in 1701, they unexpectedly attacked Guru Gobind and the Sikhs at Anandpur – their only motive was to evict the Guru and the Sikhs from Anandpur, in what is called as the First Battle of Anandpur – the Sikhs were able to fend off the aggressors. In 1704, they regrouped and attacked the Guru again in the Second Battle of Anandpur. Aurangzeb, swearing on the holy Quran, offered a safe passage to the Sikhs if they fled Anandpur – however he later betrayed them and attacked them as they were enroute to Talwandi Sabo. – in the aftermath, a battle was fought at Chamkaur, where the Guru’s two elder sons, Ajit singh and Jujhar Singh were killed. Also, the Mughal governor of Sirhind, Wazir Khan apprehended the Guru’s two younger sons Zorawar Singh and Fateh Singh. When they refused to convert to Islam, they were executed. Despite losing everything. Guru Gobind sent a letter to Aurangzeb, the famous Zafarnama, or the Letter of Victory, where he chided the emperor for his moral weakness in breaking all his promises and reprimanded him for his excesses in an unjust battle. In early 1707, Aurangzeb died, leaving behind Bahadur Shah as the new emperor – Bahadur Shah was friendly towards the Guru. However while traveling through Central India in 1708, Guru Gobind Singh was fatally wounded by two Pathans – realizing that his end was near, Guru Gobind assembled his followers and invested the Guruship to the Guru Granth Sahib and urged all Sikhs to look upon the Granth as the symbol of all 10 gurus and a constant guide. The 200 years from the time Guru Nanak founded the Sikh religion to Guru Gobind’s founding of the Khalsa panth, can thus be divided into two equal parts – in the first 100 years the 5 Gurus pronounced the ideals of a new social order in the Punjab. The religion was accessible to all humanity, strictly monotheistic, deriving its ideals from the teachings of the Gurus codified in the Guru Granth Sahib and its symbol was the Harmandir Sahib in Amritsar – a place of worship whose foundation was laid by a Muslim and the structure was built by Hindus and Sikhs together. The second period of 100 years saw the development of traditions that supplemented this new social order. In the next five Gurus, the Sikhs found their martyrs and heroes, a new political order, the Khalsa panth, amidst the oppressions and tyrannies of the Mughal rulers. Above all, in everything that Guru Gobind wrote or spoke, there was a note of buoyant hope, the concept of Chardi Kala, a constant conviction that even if life was lost, the mission of Sikhi was bound to succeed thereby creating a free, just and equal society. So, this was a short introduction to the Sikh History and we will continue to talk about more events in subsequent podcasts. Keep Listening. Waheguru Ji Ka Khalsa Waheguru Ji Ki Fateh.

|Welcome to China Virtual Tours, your premier online guide to travel in China.| Dragon & Phoenix content by Mr. Du Feibao The dragon and the phoenix are the principal motifs for decorative designs on the buildings, clothing and articles of daily use in the imperial palace. The throne hall is supported by columns entwined by gilded dragons, the central ramps on marble steps were paved with huge slabs carved in relief with the dragon and phoenix, and the screen walls display dragons in brilliant colours (see the Nine-Dragon Screen in Beihai Park). The names in the Chinese language for nearly all the things connected with the emperor or the empress were preceded by the epithet "dragon" or "phoenix"; thus, "dragon seat" for the throne, "dragon robe" for the emperor's ceremonial dress, "dragon bed" for him to sleep on, and "phoenix carriage", "phoenix canopies" and so on for the imperial processions. The national flag of China under the Qing Dynasty was emblazoned with a big dragon. The earliest postage stamps put out by China were called "dragon-heads" because they showed a dragon in their designs. Even today the dragon is sometimes adopted as the symbol of Chinese exhibitions held abroad or the cover designs of books on China printed by foreign publishers. "The Giant Dragon of the East" is becoming a sobriquet for the Belief in the dragon, and drawings of the imaginary animal, can be traced back to primitive society when certain prehistoric tribes in China adopted the dragon among other totems as their symbol and guardian god. Some of the recently unearthed bronze vessels of the Yin Dynasty, which existed more than 3,000 years ago, are decorated with sketches of dragons of a crude form. Earliest legends in China described the dragon as a miraculous animal with fish scales and long beards. As time went on, it became more and more embellished in the minds of the people, acquiring the antlers of the deer, the mane of the horse and the claws of the eagle -- in short, appropriating the distinctive features of other creatures until it became what we see today everywhere in the palace. The Chinese phoenix, likewise, exists only in legends and fairy tales. Sovereign of all birds, it has the head of the golden pheasant, the beak of the parrot, the body of the mandarin duck, the wings of the roc, the feathers of the peacock and the legs of the crane; gloriously beautiful, it reigns over the feathered world. An early design of the phoenix can be seen on the silk painting discovered in a tomb of the Warring States Period (475-221 B.C.) near Changsha in Hunan Province. The dragon and the phoenix often served in classical art and literature as metaphors for people of high virtue and rare talent or, in certain combinations, for matrimonial harmony or happy marriage. As an important part of folk arts, dragon lanterns, dragon boats, dragon and phoenix dances are still highly popular on festivals among the people of all localities. go to the index of The China Experience
The olfactory bulb contains several populations of disposable cells: primary sensory olfactory cells and periglomerular neurons undergo continuous turnover and replacement throughout adulthood. New cells are generated in the subventricular zone (SVZ), and migrate through the rostral migratory stream (RMS). Upon arriving at the granule cell layer of the olfactory bulb, most of the cells cease migrating, and differentiate into granule cells, then extend processes into the external plexiform layer and form synapses with mitral cells. Some cells continue migrating into the glomerular layer and become periglomerular neurons. (These are inter- neurons found in the glomerulus, the structure in which olfactory cells expressing receptors for odorant molecules form synapses with the fibres of the olfactory nerve. About 1 month after each wave of migrating cells reaches the olfactory bulb, approximately 50% of them die, and the rest remain stable for at least several more months. Newly-generated olfactory neurons go through a number of developmental stages; these stages can be distinguished on the basis of morphology. Class 1 cells are neuroblasts migrating tangentially within the rostral migratory stream at 2-7 days after leaving the SVZ; class 2 are immature migrating neurons; class 3 cells are granule cells with a single, unbranched dendrite that extends no further than the mitral layer (days 9-13); class 4 are granule cells with a branched dendrite that lacks spines but projects into the external plexiform layer (days 11-12); and class 5 mature granule cells (days 15-30). Adi Mizrahi, of the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, has used a novel technique to examine the dynamics of dendrites in new olfactory neurons as they become incorporated into the olfactory bulb during the later stages of their development (class 4 and 5 cells). Mizrahi injected a modified lentivirus containing the gene encoding green fluorescent protein (GFP) into the SVZ of adult mice. This resulted in the non-selective labelling of neurons and glial cells in the SVZ, as revealed by immunohistochemical staining for neuron- and glial cell-specific molecular markers; infected cells were not damaged. Craniotomies were then performed on the animals – the partial removal of the skull overlying the olfactory bulbs created a “cranial window” through which time-lapse lase scanning two-photon microscopy could be performed. In this way, cells in the superficial layers of the olfactory bulb – the glomerular and external plexiform layers, which are no more than 250 µm (one quarter of a millimetre) beneath the surface of the bulb – were visualized. By collecting stacks of images from different focal planes, Mizrahi reconstructed the dendrites and spines of the cells during the latter stages of development. (Watch film clips of the time-lapse imaging in the Supplemental data.) Mizrahi detected numerous GFP-labelled cells in the RMS and olfactory bulb within 2-3 days of injection of the modified lentivirus. All of these cells were neurons and not glia. The earliest granule cell dendrites appeared in the external plexiform layer between 10-14 days post-injection. At the start of this period, most of the neurons had smooth dendrites with few or no spines; the dendrites were sparsely distributed and had a short and stubby appearance. The dendrites were highly dynamic – within 24 hours of the onset of imaging, new dendritic branches formed, and spines appeared on existing dendrites. Similar dendrite dynamics were observed in the periglomerular neurons imaged in the study. However, differences in the development of the two types of periglomerular neuron – the spiny and non-spiny neurons – were also observed. The dendrites of non-spiny cells were highly dynamic over time – the morphology of the dendritic trees in these neurons was continuously changing throughout development. By contrast, the dendrites of spiny neurons were more stable, but had highly dynamic dendritic spines. Thus, both spiny and non spiny olfactory neurons seemed to be constantly rewiring, although in non spiny cells this process apparently occurs over a larger region. The time-lapse imaging also revealed that the structure of all the new cells remained highly dynamic even after incorporation into the olfactory bulb. Mizrahi imaged both granular cells and periglomerular neurons between 40-47 days after injecting the lentivirus-GFP construct. By this stage, the newborn cells had generated granule cells with diverse structures (see figure below), but the dendritic trees of all of them were densely covered with spines, and the dendritic dynamics were limited to partial elongations or retractions at the distal tips of the dendrites. Occasionally, however, new branches formed, or older ones retracted. Morphology of randomly selected perigranular neurons, reconstructed from in vivo imaging experiments of green fluorescent protein (GFP) labelled cells, 45 and 90 days after infection with lentiviral vector. (Scale bar = 50 µm; from Mizrahi, 2007.) Mizrahi also examined other aspects of cell migration in the RMS. Lentiviruses infect both mitotic and post-mitotic (i.e. dividing and non-dividing) neurons, so the ages of the fluorescent cells migrating into the olfactory bulb cells could not be accurately determined. By using bromodeoxyuridine (BrdU), which is incorporated into newly-synthesized DNA and therefore labels only dividing cells, and comparing the numbers of BrdU-positive cells with GFP-labelled cells, it was shown that, 3 months after lentivirus infection, only a small proportion of cells were labelled with both GFP and BrdU. Time-lapse imaging at 10, 45 and 90 after lentivirus injection further showed that the numbers of migrating cells decreased with time. Mizrahi then examined the role of sensory deprivation on the development of newly-generated periglomerular neurons. One nostril was blocked to prevent stimuli reaching the corresponding olfactory bulb, and the effect of this on the morphology of new cells incorporated into the bulb was determined. It was found that there was a small increase in the numbers of dendritic branches on periglomerular neurons in the deprived olfactory bulb. There appeared to be no significant effect on the morphology, dynamics or spatial distribution of the dendrites, suggesting that sensory input has only a minor role in the development of newborn cells and their incorporation into the olfactory bulb nerve network. But immature neurons migrating in the RMS express GABAA, AMPA, and, later on, NMDA receptors; electrical activity induced by sensory stimuli is therefore likely to be involved, but exactly how remains to be seen. The exact function of new olfactory neurons is unclear. Because the distal tip of the olfactory bulb is almost exposed to open air, neurons in that region of the bulb are prone to damage from, for example, toxic fumes. It seems logical that one function of the new cells coming into the olfactory bulb through the RMS would be to replace those cells in the distal tip of the bulb that get damaged. This study shows that neurons in the adult olfactory bulb remain highly plastic throughout adulthood; Mizrahi suggests that regeneration provides cells which act as a substrate for the plasticity of the wiring in the olfactory bulb. The study also demonstrates a novel experimental system for studying the development and plasticity of new cells in the adult olfactory bulb in vivo. The system may also offer a new way of investigating developmental processes, such as synaptogenesis, in the adult brain. The spatio-temporal dynamics of development make such processes difficult to study in the growing brain; this system may provide a means by which developmental processes can be investigated in the less chaotic environment of the adult brain.

The Secret History of Hypertext The conventional history of computing leaves out some key thinkers. © Mundaneum, Centre d’archives (Belgium) Alex Wright May 22, 2014 Technology When Vannevar Bush’s “As We May Think” first appeared in The Atlantic’s pages in July 1945, it set off an intellectual chain reaction that resulted, more than four decades later, in the creation of the World Wide Web. In that landmark essay, Bush described a hypothetical machine called the Memex: a hypertext-like device capable of allowing its users to comb through a large set of documents stored on microfilm, connected via a network of “links” and “associative trails” that anticipated the hyperlinked structure of today’s Web. http://www.theatlantic.com Historians of technology often cite the Bush essay as the conceptual forerunner of the Web. And hypertext pioneers like Douglas Engelbart, Ted Nelson, and Tim Berners-Lee have all acknowledged their debt to Bush’s vision. But for all his lasting influence, Bush was not the first person to imagine something like the Web. In the years leading up to World War II, a number of European thinkers were exploring markedly similar ideas about information storage and retrieval, and even imagining the possibility of a global network—a feature notably absent from the Memex. Yet their contributions have remained largely overlooked in the conventional, Anglo-American history of computing. Chief among them was Paul Otlet, a Belgian bibliographer and entrepreneur who, in 1934, laid out a plan for a global network of “electric telescopes” that would allow anyone in the world to access to a vast library of books, articles, photographs, audio recordings, and films. “This synthesis of knowledge upon which you are working is the necessary beginning of a new world.” Read it all The word “hypertext” was first coined by Nelson in 1963, and is first found in print in a college newspaper article about a lecture he gave called “Computers, Creativity, and the Nature of the Written Word” in January, 1965: Ted Nelson’s first use of term “hypertext” Mike Joyce’s Ted Sed Page Nelson later popularized the hypertext concept in his book Literary Machines. His vision involved implementation of a “docuverse”, where all data was stored once, there were no deletions, and all information was accessible by a link from anywhere else. Navigation through the information would be non-linear, depending on each individual’s choice of links. This was more than text — it was hypertext. The web realizes part of this vision, except that there are deletions, and some information is stored in more than one place. Nelson has continued to develop his theory, and instantiates it with Project Xanadu, a high-performance hypertext system that assures the identity of references to objects, and solves the problems of configuration management and copyright control. Anyone is allowed to reference anything, provided that references are delivered from the original, and possibly involving micro payments to the copyright holders. Readit all: Wiki: Theodor Holm “Ted” Nelson (born June 17, 1937) is an American pioneer of information technology, philosopher, and sociologist. He coined the terms hypertext and hypermedia in 1963 and published them in 1965. Nelson coined the terms transclusion, virtuality, and intertwingularity (in Literary Machines). …Nelson founded Project Xanadu in 1960, with the goal of creating a computer network with a simple user interface. The effort is documented in his 1974 book Computer Lib / Dream Machines and the 1981 Literary Machines. Much of his adult life has been devoted to working on Xanadu and advocating for it… Nelson has stated that some aspects of his vision are being fulfilled by Tim Berners-Lee’s invention of the World Wide Web, but he dislikes the World Wide Web, XML and all embedded markup – regarding Berners-Lee’s work as a gross over-simplification of his original vision: Read it all Summary of Hypertext Issues Ted Nelson: Ted Nelson The Mother of All Demos Douglas Engelbart independently began working on his NLS system in 1962 at Stanford Research Institute, although delays in obtaining funding, personnel, and equipment meant that its key features were not completed until 1968. In December of that year, Engelbart demonstrated a hypertext interface to the public for the first time, in what has come to be known as “The Mother of All Demos”. Funding for NLS slowed after 1974. Guide was a hypertext system developed by Peter J. Brown at the University of Kent in 1982. The original Guide implementation was for Three Rivers PERQ workstations running Unix. The Guide system became the third hypertext system to be sold commercially, marketed by Office Workstations Ltd (OWL) in 1984 and later by InfoAccess. “Guide” won Brown the British Computer Society’s award for technical innovation in 1988. He retired in 1999 and died of cancer in 2007, according to a tribute page at the University of Kent website. Wiki This seems to be the software used by Tim Berners Lee Ian Ritchie, founder of OWL, presented a Ted talk in 2011 describing his missed opportunity to convert Guide to a graphical browser for the Web at its inception in 1990, titled “The day I turned down Tim Berners-Lee.” In September 1986, Guide was ported by OWL to the Apple Macintosh, and in July 1987 to Microsoft Windows. (In 1987 Apple had begun giving away its own graphical programming system, HyperCard, which had some hypertext features.) According to news reports in 1988, OWL announced plans to release a version of Guide for the IBM PS/2 line of computers under the name “Hyper Document,” in competition with Hypercard on the Apple Macintosh.

Seeking to combat a debilitating and sometimes fatal disease commonly found in the San Joaquin Valley, three regional institutions are uniting to improve the area’s health. The University of California, Merced, Health Sciences Research Institute, University of California, San Francisco Fresno Medical Education Program and the California State University, Fresno Central California Center for Health and Human Services are working together to determine research priorities and public service needs to address valley fever. The campuses will hold “Valley Fever Research Day” from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Saturday, Nov. 9, at the UCSF Fresno Center for Medical Education and Research, 155 N. Fresno St., Fresno. The forum, funded in part by Sierra Health Foundation and Kaiser Permanente, is intended to facilitate a conversation that informs and guides valley fever research in the San Joaquin Valley with the goal of improving detection, prevention and treatment of the illness. The conversation includes community members and organizations, civic leaders, academics, clinical researchers, healthcare and public health professionals and others interested in addressing valley fever. “Community input is very important for this conversation,” said Paul Brown, a UC Merced professor and director of the Health Sciences Research Institute. “The voices of businesses, public agencies and community organizations that serve or work with people who may be at risk for valley fever are needed to make sure that the most appropriate research is available to serve the San Joaquin Valley and California.” Presentations from researchers, clinicians, advocates and community members will spark discussions and lead to a plan to improve healthcare, research and community interventions. This forum represents the first step in an action plan being developed by a consortium that includes UC Merced, UCSF Fresno, Fresno State, Community Medical Centers, Children’s Hospital Central California, the public health departments in the eight counties that make up the San Joaquin Valley and community organizations serving or working with people most at risk for valley fever. According to the Centers for Disease Control, researchers estimate that each year as many as 150,000 people are infected by Coccidioides, the fungus that causes valley fever. Infection occurs when fungal spores, which are not directly visible, are inhaled. Most people who are infected do not show symptoms, but some people may experience flu-like symptoms that last from weeks to months. Severe cases can even result in death. The fungus is commonly found in the Southwest, particularly Arizona and California, including the San Joaquin Valley. Because valley fever is a rare disease outside the Southwest, it does not attract sufficient research funding. More than 40 percent of people infected with valley fever have symptoms. Many of those infected with valley fever are sick without knowing why or without being diagnosed.
The paper: Life forms can’t digest wood: Why this is a problem for Darwinism |July 3, 2012||Posted by News under Darwinism, Design inference, Ecology, Intelligent Design| (whether or not it is acknowledged as such) Matti Leisola, Ossi Pastinen, Douglas Axe Humans have long used wood as a structural material for some of the same reasons that trees use it—it combines great strength, flexibility and durability with a relatively low density. These desirable properties depend partly on lignin, a major chemical constituent of many plants, including trees. Lignin is the most abundant aromatic polymer on earth and the second most abundant organic polymer of any kind, exceeded only by cellulose. It is estimated that 30% of the earth’s non-fossil organic carbon is in the form of lignin. Considering its massive abundance and its high energy content (40% higher than cellulose, gram for gram), it is striking that no organism seems to have tapped it as an energy source. After posing this as an evolutionary enigma, we prepare to address it by reviewing what is known about the structure, biosynthesis and biodegradation of wood in general and of lignin in particular. Then, returning to the enigma, we ask whether it is more readily explained within a Darwinian framework or a design framework. The Darwinian account must somehow reconcile 400 million years of failure to evolve a relatively modest innovation—growth on lignin—with a long list of spectacular innovations thought to have evolved in a fraction of that time. How can one mechanism have been at the same time so effective and so ineffective? That tension vanishes completely when the design perspective is adopted. Terrestrial animal life is crucially dependent on terrestrial plant life, which is crucially dependent on soil, which is crucially dependent on the gradual photo- and biodegradation of lignin. Fungi accomplish the biodegradation, and the surprising fact that it costs them energy to do so keeps the process gradual. The peculiar properties of lignin therefore make perfect sense when seen as part of a coherent design for the entire ecosystem of our planet.
Discussion regarding diversity in the workplace often focuses on gender and ethnicity. While these are important, age diversity is equally relevant. For the first time in history, our workforce is comprised of 5 generations of employees; the Silent Generation (ages 74 to 94), Baby Boomers (ages 55 to 73), Generation X (ages 39 to 54), Generation Y (ages 24 to 38) and Generation Z (ages 23 and younger). Some employers believe that age diversity is a detriment to communication and cooperation in the workplace but there are actually a number of benefits that are derived from an age-diverse workforce. Improved productivity: Age-diverse teams increase productivity especially when groups are involved in complex decision-making tasks. Reduced turnover: An environment that is accepting, inclusive and values the contributions of all is conducive to retention. Increased innovation: An age-diverse workforce provides a variety of experiences and perspectives which drives innovation resulting in an organization that appeals to a broad customer demographic. Enlarged knowledge base: Older employees bring knowledge that comes from experience while younger employees often come from recent cutting edge education. This combination gives your company a greater ability to create ground-breaking solutions. A diversified skill set: Each generation brings a different skill set. Young employees often have a strong understanding of high tech business mediums (social networking, online product demonstration, webcasting) while mature professionals often have interpersonal skills that are an asset. This diversity helps a company relate to a multi-generational demographic. Enables mentoring: Age-diversity creates the possibility of mentoring. Senior employees can teach younger peers the lessons experience has taught. Younger workers can teach their older coworkers about digital tools, technology and social media presence. Creates continuity: A company dominated by mature employees runs the risk of becoming obsolete and, when retirement age approaches, the chance that there is no one to receive accumulated knowledge. If the workforce is composed largely of young employees, there is little opportunity for generational mentoring that informs younger employees of a company’s history, trajectory and vision. Personal improvement: We all carry age bias. Working with people from other generations is a great way to bust these beliefs and create more tolerant individuals. Focusing on the benefits of each generation of workers helps to overcome the roadblocks to developing a thriving, diverse workforce. An age-inclusive brand attracts a wide range of talented individuals to strengthen the company. Understanding the career priorities of different generations is important to making your cooperation a choice for all ages. If you’re looking for an age-diverse recruiting strategy, the experts at EQ Staffing are here to help. It’s our mission to bring talented professionals, of all ages, together with growing businesses.

I keep seeing years represented by coloured bars. First it was that demographic tsunami chart. Then there are examples like the one on the right, which came up in a web search today. I even saw one (whispers) at work today. I get what they are trying to do – illustrate trends within categories over time – but I don’t think years as coloured bars is the way to go. To me, progression over time suggests that time should be an axis, so as the eye moves along the data from one end to the other, without interruption. What I want to see is categories over time, not time within categories. So what is the way to go? Let’s ask “what would ggplot2 do?” The following charts illustrate different ways to visualise the same data using ggplot2. My motivation here is to show you that if you don’t immediately know or see a “right way” to do something, tools such as ggplot2 make it easy to “feel your way” to a solution, through exploration. The charts and their accompanying code are available at RPubs. Click each image at right for a full-size version. It looks better already just for being generated using ggplot2. But can we go better? Your first thought might be “why not just swap the years and categories around?” And sure, that gives us time along an axis. Now though, it’s a little difficult to follow each category, as the eye has to skip all the others when moving to the next time point. OK you say, I can get all the categories at the same time point by stacking. A couple of problems now: first, abrupt changes in value can make a category shrink dramatically or move around vertically in a distracting fashion. And second, making the categories proportional can make it difficult to determine the absolute values for anything other than the lowest row of the bars. I think this works much better: the continuous connection of categories makes it easier to follow each one through time. However, there is still the issue of relative versus absolute values. And to my eye, downward lines can be interpreted as decreases even when the width of the area for a category indicates that the value has increased. Now we’re getting somewhere – much easier to follow each category over time. One issue with this particular arrangement is that it’s a little difficult to compare categories and the eye finds it difficult to isolate a facet from surrounding facets. Not bad at all – this makes categories within a year very clear. But wait, we wanted a good view of each category over time. So how about… I think we have a winner. This clearly illustrates change per category over time and the layout and common scales even allow for comparison between categories. We started out complaining about time within categories but in fact, that is what we wanted after all: just arranged in a better way than years as coloured bars .
Family: Lamiaceae, Mint family Duration: Annual Size: Up to 1 ½ feet or more. Growth Form: Forb/herb; hairs sparse short and stiff. Leaves: Green; mostly basal, 1 or 2 pinnately dissected, lobes irregularly rounded, up to 3½ or 4 inches long with small stiff hairs. Flower Color: Blue or purple-tipped; flowers in 1 or 2 clusters, inflorescence scapose (elongated peduncle); fruit a nutlet. Flowering Season: March to May. Comments: Seeds eaten as grain, whole or ground. If soaked in water, seeds will absorb the moisture and transform it into a gelatinous coating, creating a chia gel which was consumed by indigenous people for energy, mixed with other grains and meals for a gruel-like pinole, and has been rediscovered in recent years. This is one of a few species of Salvia used in this way, the best known of which is the Mexican Salvia hispanica.
The EPA has released its FY2010 scorecard on sustainability and energy performance, revealing that it has met or exceeded all federal goals to decrease energy use per square foot; reduce potable water use per square foot; lessen fleet petroleum use; establish inventories of direct and indirect greenhouse gas emissions; incorporate sustainable building practices; and increase renewable energy use. "The scorecard is an important tool for us to develop targets for waste reduction and energy efficiency for our facilities at EPA," says Craig Hooks, assistant administrator for EPA’s Office of Administration and Resources Management. "EPA is doing what the President envisioned us to do, 'lead by example,' by being good stewards of the environment, all the while realizing substantial savings to the government." EPA energy consumption dropped 22.8% compared to the 18% required federal target. Water usage was down 18.7% against the 6% target. Petroleum usage in the agency fleed declined 24.9% against the 10% target. An update to the EPA sustainability plan is due in June, and will be posted publicly on the EPA website.

In 1970, the District of Columbia, Colorado, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Montana, North Dakota, Oregon, South Dakota, Washington, and West Virginia started lottery games. Today, these games are available in eight more states. In the 1990s, South Carolina began offering a lottery. In early 2010, the District of Columbia approved a lottery in order to attract more people to play. Those who live in one of these states are able to play a lottery and win big prizes. Education is the most appropriate use of lottery proceeds A state-run lottery has failed to empower students, and the proceeds it generates are not used in the way that we expect. Instead, North Carolina cut its education budget by 12% in 2009, and allocates a smaller percentage of its budget to education today than when the lottery began. Similarly, lottery net proceeds in Georgia and Florida supplement existing funding for education and capital projects. While Florida and North Carolina have cut their education budgets, other states are increasing their spending on education. The use of lottery proceeds varies by state. In Illinois, for example, lottery proceeds go to the Common School Fund. But as the Washington Post reported, these funds do not always translate into a financial windfall for education. State governments allocate lottery profits to other purposes, so that education funding gets squeezed. But the money never reaches the classroom. Annual contributions to teachers’ pensions eat up the money that would have gone to education. Problems with jackpot fatigue Jackpot fatigue is a natural reaction to a large prize, and it can make you obsess over your numbers and fear missing a drawing. But overcoming jackpot fatigue can improve your chances of winning the lottery. Here are a few tips to help you fight the urge to obsess. By using these tips, you’ll be able to make better decisions, and your chances of winning the lottery will increase. First, learn the odds of winning a prize. This is important since the lottery numbers are so complicated. Playing the same numbers in successive drawings can result in jackpot fatigue. The odds are low, but if you know how to increase your chances of winning, you’ll be able to pass on prize claims to other lottery players. And if you’ve won a prize in a drawing, it’s time to pass it on to others. Legal minimum age to play In Britain, the legal minimum age to play the National Lottery has increased to 18 from 16 years. This move comes amid concerns about problem gambling and the risk of allowing minors to access gambling products. The age requirement for the National Lottery is a result of the Gambling Act, which is under review by the government. The lottery also has separate rules for retailers selling tickets to underage players. This makes it crucial to check the age of those who are selling tickets to underage players. The Gaming Board regulates the legal age limit for playing the lottery. In the state of Delaware, the age limit is 18 for pari-mutuel betting and 21 for slot machines. A 16-year-old is permitted to play Bingo with an adult, but cannot purchase a ticket or enter a raffle. However, in the state of New Hampshire, the legal minimum age for buying and playing lottery tickets is 18 years old.
Glaucoma is a completely painless disease that has no symptoms or warning signs so it is often called the "silent thief of sight." Because there are no outward symptoms, it is important to get a COMPREHENSIVE eye HEALTH exam annually to check for any signs of glaucoma. Glaucoma falls into four main types: 1) Open Angle Glaucoma: Open Angle Glaucoma happens when the eye does not drain fluid as well as it should, the eye pressure rises and starts to damage the optic nerve and nerve fiber layers of the retina. 2) Normal Tension Glaucoma: This type of glaucoma occurs when a patient with "normal" eye pressure has sensitive optic nerves and still develops glaucoma damage over time. 3) Narrow Angle/Chronic Angle Closure Glaucoma: This type of glaucoma occurs when a person's "angle" (the area where the fluid drains) is narrow so the fluid does not have much room to drain, the eye pressure rises and starts to damage the optic nerve and nerve fiber layers of the retina. Again because there are few or no outward symptoms, it is important to get a COMPREHENSIVE eye HEALTH exam annually to check for any signs of glaucoma. 4) Secondary Glaucomas: Secondary glaucoma is the name used to describe glaucomas that occur as a side effect or “secondary” to another underlying medical condition or trauma. Most of the time, glaucoma develops very slowly which means that many people don’t realize that they are affected until some damage to their vision has already occurred. However, occasionally a person can have an Angle Closure Glaucoma "attack," their already narrow angles close, the fluid can no longer drain and the pressure in the eyes can rise drastically causing sudden and severe or complete vision loss. An Angle Closure Glaucoma attack can develop quickly, and symptoms do occur, especially when going from a dark environment into light. These can include: **If you notice any of these symptoms, it’s important to CALL DR. KUBOTA'S OFFICE RIGHT AWAY so that you can be examined as soon as possible. If the office is closed, please go IMMEDIATELY to the nearest emergency room and ask to see the ophthalmologist on call.** You might be surprised at how many tests are needed to diagnose glaucoma. A proper diagnosis requires careful evaluation of many aspects of your eye’s health from eye pressure to cornea thickness to the health of your optic nerve and nerve fiber layer of the retina. This section describes how Dr. Kubota will assesses your risk and all the tests needed to properly diagnose glaucoma. Dr. Kubota will begin by assessing your risk level for developing glaucoma. This will help determine the frequency and extent of testing needed. Through personal and family medical history questions, Dr. Kubota will weigh your risk factors for glaucoma which include: Ethnic background such as African or black Caribbean, Hispanic, Asian or Scandinavian descent Family history of glaucoma in any genetically related realtive such as a sibling, parent or grandparent. History of eye conditions, injuries or surgeries Prolonged corticosteroid use (eye drops, pills, inhalers or creams) Chronic conditions that affect blood flow, such as migraines, diabetes, low blood pressure or hypertension Current or former smoker Once you have completed your comprehensive eye exam, Dr. Kubota will also consider these risk factors: Eye pressure higher than normal (above 20 mm Hg) Anatomic measurement of your "Angle" (the area above the iris where the fluid of the anterior chamber drains During a comprehensive eye exam, Dr. Kubota will always check for glaucoma, regardless of the risk level. This provides a baseline for comparison as you age. Here are some of the tests performed: Tonometry measures the fluid pressure in your eye. The Non-Contact Tonometer measures this without touching you by blowing a puff of air. If Goldmann Tonometry is needed, then Dr. Kubota will instill anesthetic eye drops with fluorescein dye to numb your eyes. Then she will use a device with a probe to gently touch your cornea to read your eye pressure. Eye pressure is unique to each person, so ALONE, it is not always a reliable indicator for glaucoma. It is simply another piece of information to help Dr. Kubota assess your risk. Most glaucoma cases are diagnosed with pressure over 20mm Hg, however, some people have "Low Tension Glaucoma" where they are losing eyesight with "normal" eye pressure. These procedures examine your central and peripheral retina. The Optos Retinal Scan requires no dilation and it takes digital images of both the central and peripheral retina. It obtains a full, detailed view of the optic nerve, macula, blood vessels and peripheral retina. It can also provide a more in depth examination of the retina by allowing analysis of the different layers of the retina and allowing the comparison of previous images to check for subtle changes over time. During a Dilated Fundus Evaluation (Extended Ophthalmoscopy), Dr. Kubota will use eye drops to dilate your pupils. Then, using a head-mounted device with a light (binocular indirect ophthalmoscope), your central and peripheral retina can be viewed. You will be light sensitive and possibly blurry for up to 8 hours after the examination so you need a driver to take you home and you should stay indoors and avoid sunlight. Optical Coherence Tomography takes a scan of specific structures in the back of the eye, like the macula and/or optic nerve. The OCT measures the thickenesses of your retinal nerve fiber layer in microns, then statistically analyzes the results by age to determine if your eyes are normal for your age. It also allows Dr. Kubota to compare past OCTs to determine if a patient's eyes have changed over time. This instrument can pick up subtle, early nerve fiber layer loss, allowing glaucoma to be diagnosed even earlier than just by visually observing the optic nerve alone. Dr. Kubota may want to use pachymetry as another way to confirm a diagnosis. Pachymetry measures the thickness of your cornea, the clear window at the front of the eye. The OCT with a special lens attachment is used to take Pachymetry and can help clarify your diagnosis because corneal thickness has the potential to influence eye pressure readings. This diagnostic test helps examine the "angle" between your iris and cornea (the area where the aqueous fluid drains). First, you’ll receive eye drops to numb the eye. Then a special hand-held magnifying lens with mirrors is gently placed on the eye. The mirrors show Dr. Kubota more details of the angle (wide, open, narrow, closed, how much pigment is present, blood vessel growth, etc.) Glaucoma diagnosis is not as simple as you might expect. Be sure to have annual COMPREHENSIVE eye HEALTH exams , especially if you have any of the risk factors for glaucoma.
THE FIDE LAWS OF CHESS The FIDE Laws of Chess cover over-the-board play. The English text is the authentic version of the Laws of Chess, which was adopted at the 75th FIDE Congress at Calvia (Mallorca), October 2004, coming into force on 1 July 2005. In these Laws the words 'he', 'him' and 'his' include 'she' and 'her'. The Laws of Chess cannot cover all possible situations that may arise during a game, nor can they regulate all administrative questions. Where cases are not precisely regulated by an Article of the Laws, it should be possible to reach a correct decision by studying analogous situations, which are discussed in the Laws. The Laws assume that arbiters have the necessary competence, sound judgement and absolute objectivity. Too detailed a rule might deprive the arbiter of his freedom of judgement and thus prevent him from finding the solution to a problem dictated by fairness, logic and special factors. FIDE appeals to all chess players and federations to accept this view. A member federation is free to introduce more detailed rules provided they: a. do not conflict in any way with the official FIDE Laws of Chess b. are limited to the territory of the federation in question; and c. are not valid for any FIDE match, championship or qualifying event, or for a FIDE title or rating tournament. BASIC RULES OF PLAY Article 1: The nature and objectives of the game of chess 1.1 The game of chess is played between two opponents who move their pieces alternately on a square board called a 'chessboard'. The player with the white pieces commences the game. A player is said to 'have the move', when his opponent's move has been made. 1.2 The objective of each player is to place the opponent's king 'under attack' in such a way that the opponent has no legal move. The player who achieves this goal is said to have 'checkmated' the opponent's king and to have won the game. Leaving ones own king under attack, exposing ones own king to attack and also capturing the opponents king are not allowed. The opponent whose king has been checkmated has lost the game. 1.3 If the position is such that neither player can possibly checkmate, the game is drawn. Article 2: The initial position of the pieces on the chessboard 2.1 The chessboard is composed of an 8x8 grid of 64 equal squares alternately light (the 'white' squares) and dark (the 'black' squares). The chessboard is placed between the players in such a way that the near corner square to the right of the player is white. 2.2 At the beginning of the game one player has 16 light-coloured pieces (the 'white' pieces); the other has 16 dark-coloured pieces (the 'black' pieces): These pieces are as follows: A white king, usually indicated by the symbol A white queen, usually indicated by the symbol Two white rooks, usually indicated by the symbol Two white bishops, usually indicated by the symbol Two white knights, usually indicated by the symbol Eight white pawns, usually indicated by the symbol A black king, usually indicated by the symbol A black queen, usually indicated by the symbol Two black rooks, usually indicated by the symbol Two black bishops, usually indicated by the symbol Two black knights, usually indicated by the symbol Eight black pawns, usually indicated by the symbol 2.3 The initial position of the pieces on the chessboard is as follows: 2.4 The eight vertical columns of squares are called 'files'. The eight horizontal rows of squares are called ranks'. A straight line of squares of the same colour, touching corner to corner, is called a 'diagonal'. Article 3: The moves of the pieces 3.1 It is not permitted to move a piece to a square occupied by a piece of the same colour. If a piece moves to a square occupied by an opponent's piece the latter is captured and removed from the chessboard as part of the same move. A piece is said to attack an opponent's piece if the piece could make a capture on that square according to Articles 3.2 to 3.8. A piece is considered to attack a square, even if such a piece is constrained from moving to that square because it would then leave or place the king of its own colour under attack. 3.2 The bishop may move to any square along a diagonal on which it stands. 3.3 The rook may move to any square along the file or the rank on which it stands. 3.4 The queen may move to any square along the file, the rank or a diagonal on which it stands. 3.5 When making these moves the bishop, rook or queen may not move over any intervening pieces. 3.6 The knight may move to one of the squares nearest to that on which it stands but not on the same rank, file or diagonal. 3.7 a. The pawn may move forward to the unoccupied square immediately in front of it on the same file, or b. on its first move the pawn may move as in (a); alternatively it may advance two squares along the same file provided both squares are unoccupied, or c. the pawn may move to a square occupied by an opponent's piece, which is diagonally in front of it on an adjacent file, capturing that piece. A pawn attacking a square crossed by an opponent's pawn which has advanced two squares in one move from its original square may capture this opponent's pawn as though the latter had been moved only one square. This capture is only legal on the move following this advance and is called an 'en passant' capture. e. When a pawn reaches the rank furthest from its starting position it must be exchanged as part of the same move for a new queen, rook, bishop or knight of the same colour. The player's choice is not restricted to pieces that have been captured previously. This exchange of a pawn for another piece is called 'promotion' and the effect of the new piece is immediate. 3.8 a. There are two different ways of moving the king, by: i. moving to any adjoining square not attacked by one or more of the opponent's pieces. ii. castling'. This is a move of the king and either rook of the same colour on the same rank, counting as a single move of the king and executed as follows: the king is transferred from its original square two squares towards the rook, then that rook is transferred to the square the king has just crossed. (1) The right to castle has been lost: a. if the king has already moved, or b. with a rook that has already moved (2) Castling is prevented temporarily a. if the square on which the king stands, or the square which it must cross, or the square which it is to occupy, is attacked by one or more of the opponent's pieces. b. if there is any piece between the king and the rook with which castling is to be effected. 3.9 The king is said to be 'in check' if it is attacked by one or more of the opponent's pieces, even if such pieces are constrained from moving to that square because they would then leave or place their own king in check. No piece can be moved that will either expose the king of the same colour to check or leave that king in check. Article 4: The act of moving the pieces 4.1 Each move must be made with one hand only. 4.2 Provided that he first expresses his intention (for example by saying "j'adoube" or "I adjust"), the player having the move may adjust one or more pieces on their squares. 4.3 Except as provided in Article 4.2, if the player having the move deliberately touches on the chessboard a. one or more of his own pieces, he must move the first piece touched that can be moved , or b. one or more of his opponent's pieces, he must capture the first piece touched, which can be captured, or c. one piece of each colour, he must capture the opponent's piece with his piece or, if this is illegal, move or capture the first piece touched which can be moved or captured. If it is unclear, whether the players own piece or his opponents was touched first, the player's own piece shall be considered to have been touched before his opponent's. 4.4 a If a player deliberately touches his king and rook he must castle on that side if it is legal to do so. b. If a player deliberately touches a rook and then his king he is not allowed to castle on that side on that move and the situation shall be governed by Article 4.3(a). c. If a player, intending to castle, touches the king or king and rook at the same time, but castling on that side is illegal, the player must make another legal move with his king which may include castling on the other side. If the king has no legal move, the player is free to make any legal move. d. If a player promotes a pawn, the choice of the piece is finalised, when the piece has touched the square of promotion. 4.5 If none of the pieces touched can be moved or captured, the player may make any legal move. 4.6 When, as a legal move or part of a legal move, a piece has been released on a square, it cannot then be moved to another square. The move is considered to have been made when all the relevant requirements of Article 3 have been fulfilled a. in the case of a capture, when the captured piece has been removed from the chessboard and the player, having placed his own piece on its new square, has released this capturing piece from his hand; b. in the case of castling, when the player's hand has released the rook on the square previously crossed by the king. When the player has released the king from his hand, the move is not yet made, but the player no longer has the right to make any move other than castling on that side, if this is legal; c. in the case of the promotion of a pawn, when the pawn has been removed from the chessboard and the player's hand has released the new piece after placing it on the promotion square. If the player has released from his hand the pawn that has reached the promotion square, the move is not yet made, but the player no longer has the right to play the pawn to another square. 4.7 A player forfeits his right to a claim against his opponent's violation of Article 4.3 or 4.4 once he deliberately touches a piece. Article 5: The completion of the game 5.1 a. The game is won by the player who has checkmated his opponent's king. This immediately ends the game, provided that the move producing the checkmate position was a legal move. b. The game is won by the player whose opponent declares he resigns. This immediately ends the game. 5.2 a. The game is drawn when the player to move has no legal move and his king is not in check. The game is said to end in 'stalemate'. This immediately ends the game, provided that the move producing the stalemate position was legal. b. The game is drawn when a position has arisen in which neither player can checkmate the opponents king with any series of legal moves. The game is said to end in a dead position. This immediately ends the game, provided that the move producing the position was legal. c. The game is drawn upon agreement between the two players during the game. This immediately ends the game. (See Article 9.1) d. The game may be drawn if any identical position is about to appear or has appeared on the chessboard at least three times. (See Article 9.2) e. The game may be drawn if each player has made at least the last 50 consecutive moves without the movement of any pawn and without any capture. (See Article 9.3) Article 6: The chess clock 6.1 'Chess clock' means a clock with two time displays, connected to each other in such a way that only one of them can run at one time. 'Clock' in the Laws of Chess means one of the two time displays. 'Flag fall' means the expiration of the allotted time for a player. 6.2 a. When using a chess clock, each player must make a minimum number of moves or all moves in an allotted period of time and/or may be allocated an additional amount of time with each move. All these must be specified in advance. b. The time saved by a player during one period is added to his time available for the next period, except in the 'time delay' mode. In the time delay mode both players receive an allotted 'main thinking time'. Each player also receives a 'fixed extra time' with every move. The countdown of the main time only commences after the fixed time has expired. Provided the player stops his clock before the expiration of the fixed time, the main thinking time does not change, irrespective of the proportion of the fixed time used. 6.3 Each time display has a 'flag'. Immediately after a flag falls, the requirements of Article 6.2(a) must be checked. 6.4 Before the start of the game the arbiter decides where the chess clock is placed. 6.5 At the time determined for the start of the game the clock of the player who has the white pieces is started. 6.6 If neither player is present initially, the player who has the white pieces shall lose all the time that elapses until he arrives; unless the rules of the competition specify or the arbiter decides otherwise. 6.7 Any player who arrives at the chessboard more than one hour after the scheduled start of the session shall lose the game unless the rules of the competition specify or the arbiter decides otherwise. 6.8 a. During the game each player, having made his move on the chessboard, shall stop his own clock and start his opponent's clock. A player must always be allowed to stop his clock. His move is not considered to have been completed until he has done so, unless the move that was made ends the game. (See Articles 5.1, and 5.2) The time between making the move on the chessboard and stopping his own clock and starting his opponent's clock is regarded as part of the time allotted to the player. b. A player must stop his clock with the same hand as that with which he made his move. It is forbidden for a player to keep his finger on the button or to 'hover' over it. c. The players must handle the chess clock properly. It is forbidden to punch it forcibly, to pick it up or to knock it over. Improper clock handling shall be penalised in accordance with Article 13.4. d. If a player is unable to use the clock, an assistant, who is acceptable to the arbiter, may be provided by the player to perform this operation. His clock shall be adjusted by the arbiter in an equitable way. 6.9 A flag is considered to have fallen when the arbiter observes the fact or when either player has made a valid claim to that effect. 6.10 Except where Articles 5.1 or one of the Articles 5.2 (a), (b) and (c) apply, if a player does not complete the prescribed number of moves in the allotted time, the game is lost by the player. However, the game is drawn, if the position is such that the opponent cannot checkmate the players king by any possible series of legal moves, even with the most unskilled counterplay. 6.11 Every indication given by the clocks is considered to be conclusive in the absence of any evident defect. A chess clock with an evident defect shall be replaced. The arbiter shall replace the clock and use his best judgement when determining the times to be shown on the replacement chess clock. 6.12 If both flags have fallen and it is impossible to establish which flag fell first then a. the game shall continue if it happens in any period of the game except the last period. b. the game is drawn if it happens in the period of a game, in which all the remaining moves must be completed. 6.13 a. If the game needs to be interrupted, the arbiter shall stop the clocks. b. A player may stop the clocks only in order to seek the arbiter's assistance, for instance when promotion has taken place and the piece required is not available. c. The arbiter shall decide when the game is to be restarted in either case. d. If a player stops the clocks in order to seek the arbiter's assistance, the arbiter shall determine if the player had any valid reason for doing so. If it is obvious that the player has no valid reason for stopping the clocks, the player shall be penalised according to article 13.4. 6.14 If an irregularity occurs and/or the pieces have to be restored to a previous position, the arbiter shall use his best judgement to determine the times to be shown on the clocks. He shall also, if necessary, adjust the clock's move counter. 6.15 Screens, monitors, or demonstration boards showing the current position on the chessboard, the moves and the number of moves made, and clocks which also show the number of moves, are allowed in the playing hall. However, the player may not make a claim relying solely on information shown in this manner. Article 7: Irregularities 7.1 a. .If during a game it is found that the initial position of the pieces was incorrect, the game shall be cancelled and a new game played. b. If during a game it is found that the only error is that the chessboard has been placed contrary to Article 2.1, the game continues but the position reached must be transferred to a correctly placed chessboard. 7.2 If a game has begun with colours reversed, then it shall continue, unless the arbiter rules otherwise. 7.3 If a player displaces one or more pieces, he shall re-establish the correct position on his own time. If necessary, either the player or his opponent shall stop the clocks and ask for the arbiter's assistance. The arbiter may penalise the player who displaced the pieces 7.4 a. If during a game it is found that an illegal move, including failing to meet the requirements of the promotion of a pawn or capturing the opponents king, has been completed, the position immediately before the irregularity shall be reinstated. If the position immediately before the irregularity cannot be determined, the game shall continue from the last identifiable position prior to the irregularity. The clocks shall be adjusted according to Article 6.14. Article 4.3 applies to the move replacing the illegal move. The game shall then continue from this reinstated position. b. After the action taken under Article 7.4(a), for the first two illegal moves by a player the arbiter shall give two minutes extra time to his opponent in each instance; for a third illegal move by the same player, the arbiter shall declare the game lost by this player. 7.5 If during a game it is found that pieces have been displaced from their squares, the position before the irregularity shall be reinstated. If the position immediately before the irregularity cannot be determined, the game shall continue from the last identifiable position prior to the irregularity. The clocks shall be adjusted according to Article 6.14. The game shall then continue from this re-instated position. Article 8: The recording of the moves 8.1 In the course of play each player is required to record his own moves and those of his opponent in the correct manner, move after move, as clearly and legibly as possible, in the algebraic notation (Appendix E), on the scoresheet prescribed for the competition. It is forbidden to write the moves in advance, unless the player is claiming a draw according to Article 9.2 or 9.3. A player may reply to his opponent's move before recording it, if he so wishes. He must record his previous move before making another. Both players must record the offer of a draw on the scoresheet. (Appendix E.12) If a player is unable to keep score, an assistant, who is acceptable to the arbiter, may be provided by the player to write the moves. His clock shall be adjusted by the arbiter in an equitable way. 8.2 The scoresheet shall be visible to the arbiter throughout the game. 8.3 The scoresheets are the property of the organisers of the event. 8.4 If a player has less than five minutes left on his clock at some stage in a period and does not have additional time of 30 seconds or more added with each move, then he is not obliged to meet the requirements of Article 8.1. Immediately after one flag has fallen the player must update his scoresheet completely before moving a piece on the chessboard 8.5 a. If neither player is required to keep score under Article 8.4, the arbiter or an assistant should try to be present and keep score. In this case, immediately after one flag has fallen, the arbiter shall stop the clocks. Then both players shall update their scoresheets, using the arbiter's or the opponent's scoresheet. b. If only one player is not required to keep score under Article 8.4 he must, as soon as either flag has fallen, update his scoresheet completely before moving a piece on the chessboard. Provided it is the player's move, he may use his opponent's scoresheet, but must return it before making a move c. If no complete scoresheet is available, the players must reconstruct the game on a second chessboard under the control of the arbiter or an assistant. He shall first record the actual game position, clock times and the number of moves made, if this information is available, before reconstruction takes place. 8.6 If the scoresheets cannot be brought up to date showing that a player has overstepped the allotted time, the next move made shall be considered as the first of the following time period, unless there is evidence that more moves have been made. 8.7 At the conclusion of the game both players shall sign both scoresheets, indicating the result of the game. Even if incorrect, this result shall stand, unless the arbiter decides otherwise. Article 9: The drawn game 9.1 a. A player wishing to offer a draw shall do so after having made a move on the chessboard and before stopping his clock and starting the opponent's clock. An offer at any other time during play is still valid, but Article 12.5 must be considered. No conditions can be attached to the offer. In both cases the offer cannot be withdrawn and remains valid until the opponent accepts it, rejects it orally, rejects it by touching a piece with the intention of moving or capturing it, or the game is concluded in some other way. b. The offer of a draw shall be noted by each player on his scoresheet with a symbol (See Appendix E13). c. A claim of a draw under 9.2, 9.3 or 10.2 shall be considered to be an offer of a draw. 9.2 The game is drawn, upon a correct claim by the player having the move, when the same position, for at least the third time (not necessarily by a repetition of moves) a. is about to appear, if he first writes his move on his scoresheet and declares to the arbiter his intention to make this move, or b. has just appeared, and the player claiming the draw has the move. Positions as in (a) and (b) are considered the same, if the same player has the move, pieces of the same kind and colour occupy the same squares, and the possible moves of all the pieces of both players are the same. Positions are not the same if a pawn that could have been captured en passant can no longer in this manner be captured or if the right to castle has been changed temporarily or permanently. 9.3 The game is drawn, upon a correct claim by the player having the move, if a. he writes his move on his scoresheet, and declares to the arbiter his intention to make this move which shall result in the last 50 moves having been made by each player without the movement of any pawn and without any capture, or b. the last 50 consecutive moves have been made by each player without the movement of any pawn and without any capture. 9.4 If the player makes a move without having claimed the draw he loses the right to claim, as in Article 9.2 or 9.3, on that move. 9.5 If a player claims a draw as in Article 9.2 or 9.3, he shall immediately stop both clocks. He is not allowed to withdraw his claim. a. If the claim is found to be correct the game is immediately drawn. b. If the claim is found to be incorrect, the arbiter shall add three minutes to the opponent's remaining time. Additionally, if the claimant has more than two minutes on his clock the arbiter shall deduct half of the claimant's remaining time up to a maximum of three minutes. If the claimant has more than one minute, but less than two minutes, his remaining time shall be one minute. If the claimant has less than one minute, the arbiter shall make no adjustment to the claimant's clock. Then the game shall continue and the intended move must be made. 9.6 The game is drawn when a position is reached from which a checkmate cannot occur by any possible series of legal moves, even with the most unskilled play. This immediately ends the game, provided that the move producing this position was legal. Article 10: Quickplay Finish 10.1 A 'quickplay finish' is the phase of a game, when all the (remaining) moves must be made in a limited time. 10.2 If the player, having the move, has less than two minutes left on his clock, he may claim a draw before his flag falls. He shall stop the clocks and summon the arbiter. a. If the arbiter agrees the opponent is making no effort to win the game by normal means, or that it is not possible to win by normal means, then he shall declare the game drawn. Otherwise he shall postpone his decision or reject the claim. b. If the arbiter postpones his decision, the opponent may be awarded two extra minutes and the game shall continue in the presence of an arbiter, if possible. The arbiter shall declare the final result later in the game or after a flag has fallen. He shall declare the game drawn if he agrees that the final position cannot be won by normal means, or that the opponent was not making sufficient attempts to win by normal means. c. If the arbiter has rejected the claim, the opponent shall be awarded two extra minutes time. d. The decision of the arbiter shall be final relating to 10.2 a, b, c. Article 11: Scoring 11.1 Unless announced otherwise in advance, a player who wins his game, or wins by forfeit, scores one point (1), a player who loses his game, or forfeits scores no points (0) and a player who draws his game scores a half point (˝). Article 12: The conduct of the players 12.1 The players shall take no action that will bring the game of chess into disrepute. 12.2 a During play the players are forbidden to make use of any notes, sources of information, advice, or analyse on another chessboard. b. It is strictly forbidden to bring mobile phones or other electronic means of communication, not authorised by the arbiter, into the playing venue. If a players mobile phone rings in the playing venue during play, that player shall lose the game. The score of the opponent shall be determined by the arbiter. 12.3 The scoresheet shall be used only for recording the moves, the times of the clocks, the offers of a draw, matters relating to a claim and other relevant data. 12.4 Players who have finished their games shall be considered to be spectators. 12.5 Players are not allowed to leave the 'playing venue' without permission from the arbiter. The playing venue is defined as the playing area, rest rooms, refreshment area, area set aside for smoking and other places as designated by the arbiter. The player having the move is not allowed to leave the playing area without permission of the arbiter. 12.6 It is forbidden to distract or annoy the opponent in any manner whatsoever. This includes unreasonable claims or unreasonable offers of a draw. 12.7 Infraction of any part of the Articles 12.1 to 12.6 shall lead to penalties in accordance with Article 13.4. 12.8 Persistent refusal by a player to comply with the Laws of Chess shall be penalised by loss of the game. The arbiter shall decide the score of the opponent. 12.9 If both players are found guilty according to Article 12.8, the game shall be declared lost by both players. Article 13: The role of the arbiter (see Preface) 13.1 The arbiter shall see that the Laws of Chess are strictly observed. 13.2 The arbiter shall act in the best interest of the competition. He should ensure that a good playing environment is maintained and that the players are not disturbed. He shall supervise the progress of the competition. 13.3 The arbiter shall observe the games, especially when the players are short of time, enforce decisions he has made and impose penalties on players where appropriate. 13.4 The arbiter can apply one or more of the following penalties: b. increasing the remaining time of the opponent, c. reducing the remaining time of the offending player, d. declaring the game to be lost, e. reducing the points scored in a game by the offending party, f. increasing the points scored in a game by the opponent to the maximum available for that game, g. expulsion from the event. 13.5 The arbiter may award either or both players additional time in the event of external disturbance of the game. 13.6 The arbiter must not intervene in a game except in cases described by the Laws of Chess. He shall not indicate the number of moves made, except in applying Article 8.5 when at least one flag has fallen. The arbiter shall refrain from informing a player that his opponent has completed a move or that the player has not pressed his clock. 13.7 a. Spectators and players in other games are not to speak about or otherwise interfere in a game. If necessary, the arbiter may expel offenders from the playing venue. b. It is forbidden for anybody to use a mobile phone in the playing venue and any area designated by the arbiter Article 14: FIDE 14. Member federations may ask FIDE to give an official decision about problems relating to the Laws of Chess. A. Adjourned games A1. a. If a game is not finished at the end of the time prescribed for play, the arbiter shall require the player having the move to 'seal' that move. The player must write his move in unambiguous notation on his scoresheet, put his scoresheet and that of his opponent in an envelope, seal the envelope and only then stop his clock without starting the opponent's clock. Until he has stopped the clocks, the player retains the right to change his sealed move. If, after being told by the arbiter to seal his move, the player makes a move on the chessboard, he must write that same move on his scoresheet as his sealed move. b. A player having the move, who adjourns the game before the end of the playing session, shall be considered to have sealed at the nominal time for the end of the session , and his remaining time shall so be recorded. A2. The following shall be indicated upon the envelope: a. the names of the players b. the position immediately before the sealed move c. the time used by each player d. the name of the player who has sealed the move e. the number of the sealed move f. the offer of a draw, if the proposal is current. g. the date, time and venue of resumption of play. A3. The arbiter shall check the accuracy of the information on the envelope and is responsible for the safe-keeping of it. A4. If a player proposes a draw after his opponent has sealed his move, the offer is valid until the opponent has accepted it or rejected it as in Article 9.1. A5. Before the game is to be resumed, the position immediately before the sealed move shall be set up on the chessboard, and the times used by each player when the game was adjourned shall be indicated on the clocks. A6. If prior to the resumption the game is agreed drawn, or if one of the players notifies the arbiter that he resigns, the game is concluded. A7. The envelope shall be opened only when the player who must reply to the sealed move is present. A8. Except in the cases mentioned in Article 6.10 and 9.6, the game is lost by a player whose recording of his sealed move a. is ambiguous, or b. is recorded such that its true significance is impossible to establish, or c. is illegal. A9. If, at the agreed resumption time a. the player having to reply to the sealed move is present, the envelope is opened, the sealed move made on the chessboard and his clock started. b. the player having to reply to the sealed move is not present, his clock shall be started. On his arrival, he may stop his clock and summon the arbiter. The envelope is then opened and the sealed move made on the chessboard. His clock is then restarted. c. the player who sealed the move is not present, his opponent has the right to record his reply on the scoresheet, seal his scoresheet in a fresh envelope, stop his clock and start the absent player's clock instead of making his reply in the normal manner. If so, the envelope shall be handed to the arbiter for safe-keeping and opened on the absent player's arrival. A10. The player shall lose the game if he arrives at the chessboard more than one hour late for the resumption of an adjourned game (unless the rules of the competition or the arbiter decides otherwise). However, if the player who made the sealed move is the late player, the game is decided otherwise, if: a. the absent player has won the game by virtue of the fact that the sealed move is checkmate, or b. the absent player has produced a drawn game by virtue of the fact that the sealed move is stalemate, or a position as described in Article 9.6 has arisen on the chessboard, or c. the player present at the chessboard has lost the game according to Article 6.10. A11. a. If the envelope containing the sealed move is missing, the game shall continue from the position, with the clock times recorded at the time of adjournment. If the time used by each player cannot be re-established the arbiter shall set the clocks. The player who sealed the move makes the move he states he sealed on the chessboard. b. If it is impossible to re-establish the position, the game is annulled and a new game must be played. A12. If, upon resumption of the game, either player points out before making his first move that the time used has been incorrectly indicated on either clock, the error must be corrected. If the error is not then established the game continues without correction unless the arbiter feels that the consequences will be too severe. A13. The duration of each resumption session shall be controlled by the arbiter's timepiece. The starting time and finishing time shall be announced in advance. B1. A Rapidplay game is one where either all the moves must be made in a fixed time from 15 to 60 minutes; or the time allotted + 60 times any increment is from 15 to 60 minutes. B2. Play shall be governed by the FIDE Laws of Chess, except where they are overridden by the following Laws of Rapidplay. B3. Players do not need to record the moves. B4. Once each player has completed three moves, no claim can be made regarding incorrect piece placement, orientation of the chessboard or clock setting. In case of reverse king and queen placement castling with this king is not allowed. B5. The arbiter shall make a ruling according to Article 4 (The act of moving pieces), only if requested to do so by one or both players. B6. An illegal move is completed once the opponent's clock has been started. The opponent is then entitled to claim that the player completed an illegal move before the claimant has made his move. Only after such a claim, shall the arbiter make a ruling. However, if both Kings are in check or the promotion of a pawn is not completed, the arbiter shall intervene, if possible. B7. The flag is considered to have fallen when a player has made a valid claim to that effect. The arbiter shall refrain from signalling a flag fall. B8. To claim a win on time, the claimant must stop both clocks and notify the arbiter. For the claim to be successful the claimant's flag must remain up and his opponent's flag down after the clocks have been stopped. B9. If both flags have fallen, the game is drawn. C1. A blitz game is one where all the moves must be made in a fixed time of less than 15 minutes for each player; or the allotted time + 60 times any increment is less than 15 minutes. C2. Play shall be governed by the Rapidplay Laws as in Appendix B except where they are overridden by the following Laws of Blitz. The Articles 10.2 and B6 do not apply. C3. An illegal move is completed once the opponent's clock has been started. The opponent is entitled to claim a win before he has made his own move. However, if the opponent cannot checkmate the players king by any possible series of legal moves with the most unskilled counterplay, then the claimant is entitled to claim a draw before he has made his own move. Once the opponent has made his own move, an illegal move cannot be corrected D. Quickplay finishes where no arbiter is present in the venue. D1. Where games are played as in Article 10, a player may claim a draw when he has less than two minutes left on his clock and before his flag falls. This concludes the game. He may claim on the basis a. that his opponent cannot win by normal means, and/or b. that his opponent has been making no effort to win by normal means. In (a) the player must write down the final position and his opponent verify it. In (b) the player must write down the final position and submit an up-to-date scoresheet. The opponent shall verify both the scoresheet and the final position. The claim shall be referred to an arbiter whose decision shall be the final one. E. Algebraic notation FIDE recognizes for its own tournaments and matches only one system of notation, the Algebraic System, and recommends the use of this uniform chess notation also for chess literature and periodicals. Scoresheets using a notation system other than algebraic may not be used as evidence in cases where normally the scoresheet of a player is used for that purpose. An arbiter who observes that a player is using a notation system other than the algebraic should warn the player about of this requirement. Description of the Algebraic System E1. In this description, "piece" means a piece other than a pawn. E2. Each piece is indicated by the first letter, a capital letter, of its name. Example: K = king, Q = queen, R = rook, B = bishop, N = knight. (In the case of the knight, for the sake of convenience, N is used.) E3. For the first letter of the name of a piece, each player is free to use the first letter of the name which is commonly used in his country. Examples: F = fou (French for bishop), L = loper (Dutch for bishop). In printed periodicals, the use of figurines for the pieces is recommended. E4 Pawns are not indicated by their first letter, but are recognised by the absence of such a letter. Examples: e5, d4, a5. E5. The eight files (from left to right for White and from right to left for Black) are indicated by the small letters, a, b, c, d, e, f, g and h, respectively. E6 The eight ranks (from bottom to top for White and from top to bottom for Black) are numbered 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 and 8, respectively. Consequently, in the initial position the white pieces and pawns are placed on the first and second ranks; the black pieces and pawns on the eighth and seventh ranks. E7 As a consequence of the previous rules, each of the sixty-four squares is invariably indicated by a unique combination of a letter and a number. E8 Each move of a piece is indicated by (a) the first letter of the name of the piece in question and (b) the square of arrival. There is no hyphen between (a) and (b). Examples: Be5, Nf3, Rd1. In the case of pawns, only the square of arrival is indicated. Examples: e5, d4, a5. E9 When a piece makes a capture, an x is inserted between (a) the first letter of the name of the piece in question and (b) the square of arrival. Examples: Bxe5, Nxf3, Rxd1. When a pawn makes a capture, the file of departure must be indicated, then an x, then the square of arrival. Examples: dxe5, gxf3, axb5. In the case of an "en passant" capture, the square of arrival is given as the square on which the capturing pawn finally rests and "e.p." is appended to the notation. Example: exd6 e.p.. E10 If two identical pieces can move to the same square, the piece that is moved is indicated as follows: 1. If both pieces are on the same rank: by (a) the first letter of the name of the piece, (b) the file of the square of departure, and (c) the square of arrival. 2. If both pieces are on the same file: by (a) the first letter of the name of the piece, (b) the rank of the square of departure, and (c) the square of arrival. 3. If the pieces are on different ranks and files, method (1) is preferred. In the case of capture, an x must be inserted between (b) and (c). There are two knights, on the squares g1 and e1, and one of them moves to the square f3: either Ngf3 or Nef3, s the case may be. There are two knights, on the squares g5 and g1, and one of them moves to the square f3: either N5f3 or N1f3, as the case may be. There are two knights, on the squares h2 and d4, and one of them moves to the square f3: either Nhf3 or Ndf3, as the case may be. If a capture takes place on the square f3, the previous examples are changed by the insertion of an x: (1) either Ngxf3 or Nexf3, (2) either N5xf3 or N1xf3, (3) either Nhxf3 or Ndxf3, as the case may be. E11 If two pawns can capture the same piece or pawn of the opponent, the pawn that is moved is indicated by (a) the letter of the file of departure, (b) an x, (c) the square of arrival. Example: If there are white pawns on squares c4 and e4 and a black pawn or piece on the square d5, the notation for White's move is either cxd5 or exd5, as the case may be. E12 In the case of the promotion of a pawn, the actual pawn move is indicated, followed immediately by the first letter of the new piece. Examples: d8Q, f8N, b1B, g1R. E13 The offer of a draw shall be marked as (=). 0-0 castling with rook h1 or rook h8 (kingside castling) 0-0-0 castling with rook a1 or rook a8 (queenside castling) ++ or # checkmate e.p. captures en passant Sample game: 1. e4 e5 2. Nf3 Nf6 3. d4 exd4 4. e5 Ne4 5. Qxd4 d5 6. exd6 e.p. Nxd6 7. Bg5 Nc6 8. Qe3+ Be7 9. Nbd2 0-0 10. 0-0-0 Re8 11. Kb1(=) F. Rules for play with Blind and Visually Handicapped Players F1. Tournament directors shall have the power to adapt the following rules according to local circumstances. In competitive chess between sighted and visually handicapped players (legally blind) either player may demand the use of two chessboards, the sighted players using a normal chessboard, the visually handicapped player using one specially constructed. The specially constructed chessboard must meet the following requirements: a. at least 20 by 20 centimetres; b. the black squares slightly raised; c. a securing aperture in each square; d. every piece provided with a peg that fits into the securing aperture; e. pieces of Staunton design, the black pieces being specially marked. F2 The following regulations shall govern play: 1. The moves shall be announced clearly, repeated by the opponent and executed on his chessboard. When promoting a pawn, the player must announce which piece is chosen. To make the announcement as clear as possible, the use of the following names is suggested instead of the corresponding letters, algebraic Ranks from white to black shall receive the German numbers: Castling is announced Lange Rochade (German for long castling) and Kurze Rochade (German for short castling). The pieces bear the names: Koenig, Dame, Turm, Laeufer, Springer, Bauer. 2. On the visually handicapped players chessboard a piece shall be considered touched when it has been taken out of the securing aperture. 3. A move shall be considered executed when: a. in the case of a capture, the captured piece has been removed from the chessboard of the player whose turn it is to move; b. a piece is placed into a different securing aperture; c. the move has been announced. Only then the opponents clock shall be started. As far as points 2 and 3 are concerned the normal rules are valid for the sighted player. 4. A specially constructed chess clock for the visually handicapped shall be admissible. It shall incorporate the following features: a. A dial fitted with reinforced hands, with every five minutes marked by one dot, and every 15 minutes by two raised dots. b. A flag which can be easily felt. Care should be taken that the flag is so arranged as to allow the player to feel the minute hand during the last 5 minutes of the full hour. 5. The visually handicapped player must keep score of the game in Braille or longhand or record the moves on a tape recorder. 6. A slip of the tongue in the announcement of a move must be corrected immediately and before the clock of the opponent is started. 7. If during a game different positions should arise on the two chessboards, they must be corrected with the assistance of the controller and by consulting both players game scores. If the two game scores correspond with each other, the player who has written the correct move but executed the wrong one must adjust his position to correspond with the move on the game scores. 8. If, when such differences occur and the two game scores are found to differ, the moves shall be retraced to the point where the two scores agree and the controller shall readjust the clock accordingly. 9. The visually handicapped player shall have the right to make use of an assistant who shall have any or all of the following duties: a. Make either players move on the chessboard of the opponent. b. Announce the moves of both players. c. Keep the game score of the visually handicapped player and start his opponents clock, (keeping rule 3.c in mind). d. Inform the visually handicapped player only at his request of the number of moves completed and the time used up by both players. e. Claim the game in cases where the time limit has been exceeded and inform the controller when the sighted player has touched one of his pieces. f. Carry out the necessary formalities in case the game is adjourned. If the visually handicapped player does not make use of an assistant, the sighted player may make use of one who shall carry out the duties mentioned under point 9a and b.
According to prosecutors, Ernst Zündel is one of the "most active" Holocaust deniers today. He began distributing Nazi and neo-Nazi propaganda in the 1970s and has written several books praising Adolf Hitler and the Nazi regime. Since 1995, he has been associated with a Web site that carries his name and is one of biggest online repositories of Holocaust-denial propaganda. But Zündel, who was born in Germany's Black Forest region, was only able to engage in such activities because he was living outside of his native county, in Canada and the United States. Although freedom of the press and of expression is written into German law, the country is generally more wary of free speech than the US, where Zündel's dissemination of racist literature and refutation of the Holocaust -- while distasteful to most -- was perfectly legal. In Germany, however, it was not. Zündel was deported to his native country in March 2005 after a long legal battle with the Canadian government. He found himself immediately under arrest and up against the German justice system. If the 66-year-old is found guilty by a court in Mannheim of incitement to racial hatred, libel and defamation of the memory of the dead, he faces up to five years in prison. Constitutional rights and constraints Article 5 of Germany's constitution, or Basic Law, enshrines the right of freedom of speech and of the press. "Everyone has the right to freely express and disseminate their opinions orally, in writing or visually and to obtain information from generally accessible sources without hindrance," states paragraph one of the law. "Freedom of the press and freedom of reporting through audiovisual media shall be guaranteed. There shall be no censorship." But the next paragraph puts certain limits on that freedom, which were deemed necessary when the Basic Law was proclaimed in 1949, just four years after the end of World War II and the downfall of the Nazi dictatorship. "These rights are subject to limitations embodied in the provisions of general legislation, statutory provisions for the protection of young persons and the citizen's right to personal respect," reads the second paragraph. German law therefore constrains press freedom, said Udo Branahl, a professor of media law at the University of Dortmund. "The penal law code says Holocaust denial is a punishable offense," he said. "That ban limits press freedom and overrides the right to free expression in the mass media." Germany is not the only European country to make Holocaust denial a crime. France, Italy and Austria have similar statutes on the books. Criminal abroad, tried in Germany So while in the US and Canada, Zündel could freely present his "evidence" that the gas chambers and crematoria of the Third Reich did not exist, in Germany, he was committing a crime that he would be tried for, even though it was not committed on German soil. The country's Federal Constitutional Court confirmed in 1994 that Holocaust revisionism is not protected speech. "In weighing the importance of free speech against that of individual rights, courts must consider on the one hand the severity of the offense caused by Holocaust denial to the Jewish population in light of the suffering inflicted upon it by Germany," the court wrote at the time. "This court has consistently protected the personal honor of those defamed above the right of others to make patently false statements." In the United States, where a broader definition of the freedom of expression has traditionally been considered one of the country's most foundations, this limitation on expression is often met with disapproval. "I disapprove of what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it," goes a citation from Voltaire that's often quoted. "I've spoken with a lot of Americans, and they don't understand us," said Wolfgang Wippermann, a professor at the Freie University in Berlin who studies Nazism and right-wing extremism. "I tell them, 'In your country, drug dealers also go to prison; these Holocaust deniers are like drug dealers, but dealing in mental poison'."
Seasons of the Moon - Elul 5761 / Tishre 5762 Elul 5761 / Tishre 5762 August 20 - October 17, 2001 MAN IN THE MOON It's uncanny how much the full moon resembles a human face. It wasn't so long ago that artists routinely depicted the moon as In October 1608, the Dutch government debated two patent applications - that of Hans Lipperhey of Middelburg, and that of Jacob Metius of Alkmaar. The application was for a device for "seeing faraway things as though nearby." It consisted of a convex and concave lens in a tube which magnified objects three or four times. The news of this new invention spread rapidly through Europe. By April 1609 three-powered spyglasses could be bought in spectacle-maker's shops on the Pont Neuf in Paris, and four months later there were several in Italy. Later that year, Thomas Harriot took his six-power telescope and pointed it at the Moon. And that was the end of the Man in the Moon. With the advent of the telescope, the Man in the Moon was struck a mortal blow. Now it was revealed for all to see that the "face" of the moon was not a face at all but an agglomeration of inert rock and dust. Do We Know What We See? Or Do We See What We Know?The Man in the Moon may have passed into folklore, but in some very fundamental ways, he is still very much with us. Look at the world. Do you know what you see? Sometimes it's difficult to be sure exactly what you're looking at. Preconceptions can often lead our eyes astray. Is the world really the way we see it? Do we recognize what's in front of our eyes? Or are we creating a virtual reality based on what our eyes expect to see? In other words, do we know what we see? Or do we see - what we know? The Way Of The WorldNothing, it would seem, is more incontrovertible than our own existence. I exist. I am here. I am an independent reality. Aren't I? Twice a day, a Jew covers his closed eyes with his right hand and proclaims "Shema Yisrael, Hashem Elokenu, Hashem Ehad!" "Hear O Israel, Hashem our G-d, Hashem is One!" When we say that G-d is One, we are not just declaring that there is only one G-d; we are affirming that nothing else exists except for Him or outside Him whatsoever. Nothing. His is a Oneness that allows for no "other." When a Jew says Shema he gives over his very existence to the Creator. He declares that, on the ultimate level, he has no separate existence whatsoever. The message of Shema runs counter-intuitive to everything that our eyes tell us. Our physical senses do not teach us that nothing else exists except for Him. Quite the reverse. Our senses tells us that if anything exists at all - it's me. From my point of view, the world could be an Ultra-High-Definition 3D movie with SurroundSound. My instinctive perception is that nothing else exists except for me. The Shema is the way we reverse this paradigm; the Shema is the way the Jew 'sees' beyond the picture that his five senses paint. Sense Beyond PerceptionHow, you will ask, can we perceive something that is beyond our senses? If our senses are the sole agents of perception, how can we perceive anything beyond them? More - how can we perceive something that totally contradicts them? The Torah teaches us that there is an extra-sensory perception, a channel to that higher reality: "A G-d of faith and lacking sin; Righteous and Straight is He." (Devarim 32:4) A cursory reading of this verse would suggest that "a G-d of faith" means that G-d keeps his word, that He's "faith"-ful. However, there is another, deeper meaning here. "A G-d of faith" means that G-d "believed in the world and created it." What does it mean that G-d "believed" in the world? Surely it is the world that believes (or doesn't believe) in G-d - not the reverse? A World Called EmunaBefore this physical creation, G-d created another existence, another world. The name of that world is Emuna - belief. When the Torah teaches us that "G-d believed in the world and created it," it means that before this creation, G-d brought into being an existence called Emuna, and within the boundaries of Emuna, within that non-physical world, G-d created the universe. In other words, this entire physical existence from its absolute beginning till its ultimate end is created within, and depends upon, another system. Not a solar system. Not a galactic system. A system called Emuna. Contained within that world is all of this world. Nothing can exist outside of Emuna. The Other End of the TelescopeWhen we look at the world through physical eyes, it seems that the world's existence is self-evident, and within the world is a thing called belief, Emuna. Furthermore, our physical eyes would tell us that Emuna is optional: You can choose to believe, or you can choose not to believe. This is the way the rest of the world looks at reality. From the Jewish perspective, however, the world is looking through the other end of the "telescope". The world has mistaken that which is optional for that which is perforce, that which is necessary for that which is incidental. The world has mistaken the rocks and dust of this world for the Man in the Moon. Judaism takes the world's view of itself and reverses it. It takes the telescope and turns it around. Judaism sees that Emuna doesn't exist in the world - the world exists in Emuna. Solid As A RockWe tend to think that nothing is as solid as a rock. Nothing is as certain as what our eyes see. We think that these are the certainties - and Faith, Emuna, is not something "certain." The world's paradigm is that Emuna is something we can choose to subscribe to like some ultimate cable channel from the world above. You can channel hop. Or you can just turn the whole set off. The reverse is true. G-d created Emuna as a truth, a reality, and then placed within that creation every rock and mountain, every sea and shore. The Day Of The KingIt is with this sensitivity that a Jew draws close to Rosh Hashana. Rosh Hashana is the day that we crown the Creator as King of the world. What does it mean to crown a non-physical, non-spiritual Being of whom we can ultimately know nothing? Where is there a stadium that can contain His coronation? Where is there a crown large enough to place on His Head? The crown that we give to the Almighty is our gift of ourselves to Him. When we place our very existence within the world called Emuna, we place the Crown on the Creator.

Too much emphasis on blaming individuals can lead to a failure to identify the true root of the problem. Take the story of the Israeli Air Force fighter pilots and their trainers. The trainers noticed that pilots executed better flights after they’d been criticized, and flew worse after they received positive feedback. Their conclusion: Blame must get the pilots to focus better. So trainers adopted the practice of withholding positive feedback and liberally applying blame, so pilots wouldn’t grow too cocky. But two psychologists, Daniel Kahnemann and Amos Tversky, came to a different conclusion: If a pilot logged a poor flight, the “anomaly” was unlikely to repeat itself, regardless of feedback. Similarly, if a pilot had a stellar flight, the odds were that he would drift back toward the mean. In other words, the blame or credit didn’t have the impact the trainers had believed. Once they knew the true causes of the flight variation, they could begin exploring new ways of teaching. lesson: Blaming the wrong factors and variables can be distracting at best; harmful at worst. — Adapted from The Blame Game, Ben Dattner.
By isolating dental stem cell lines, researchers from Inserm and Paris Descartes University have been able to demonstrate the natural mechanisms by which these stem cells repair lesions in the teeth. Publishing in the journal Stem Cells, it is hoped that this breakthrough discovery will allow the initiation of unprecedented therapeutic strategies to mobilise the resident dental stem cells and magnify their natural capacity for repair. When a dental lesion appears, dormant stem cells in the dental pulp, or “living” part of the tooth, springs into action and try to repair the tooth. Through successfully extracting and isolating tooth stem cells from rats, the researchers were able to analyse them in detail. They identified 5 specific receptors for dopamine and serotonin on their surface, two neurotransmitters that are essential to the body. They then observed that the blood platelets, activated by the dental lesion for releasing a large quantity of serotonin and dopamine. Once released, these neurotransmitters then recruit the stem cells to repair the tooth by binding to their receptors. Furthermore, in rats were dental repair was absent, it was found that these rats had modified platelets that did not produce serotonin or dopamine, i.e. a failure to signal to repair the lesion. Lead author of the research, Odile Kellermann, commented: “In stem cell research, it is unusual to be simultaneously able to isolate cell lines, identify the markers that allow them to be recognised (here the 5 receptors), discover the signal that recruits them (serotonin and dopamine), and discover the source of that signal (blood platelets). In this work, we have been able, unexpectedly, to explore the entire mechanism.” The researchers were also able to analyse the characteristics of the 5 receptors and found encouraging signs there also. Only one 1 of the 5 receptors was found not to affect the repair process. The other 4, meanwhile, all strongly participated. In vivo blocking of just one, then, would not prevent dental repair occurring. Speaking of how this could influence current dental strategies for repairing teeth, Odile Kellermann concluded: “Currently, dentists use pulp capping materials (calcium hydroxide) and tricalcium phosphate-based biomaterials to repair the tooth and fill lesions. Our results lead us to imagine unprecedented therapeutic strategies aimed at mobilising the resident pulpal stem cells in order to magnify the natural reparative capacity of teeth without use of replacement materials.”
Daniel Maurer / AP This 35,000-year-old bird-bone flute, held by the University of Tübingen's Nicholas Conard, is considered one of the world's oldest handcrafted musical instruments. But researchers say human musicmaking has much more ancient roots. If you think about, there's no escape, really. Music holds humanity in a vise grip. Every culture you can think of has it, hears it and taps their feet to it. So how did music first take hold? A new analysis proposes that music hijacked our ancestors' ability to hear and interpret the movements of fellow human beings. That claim is at the heart of “Harnessed: How Language and Music Mimicked Nature and Transformed Ape to Man,” a new book by neurobiologist Mark Changizi. Changizi analyzed the rises and falls in the rhythm and intonation of more than 10,000 samples of folk music from Finland and found that they bear a stamp — an auditory fossil of sorts — that can be traced back to the rises and falls and rhythms associated with the movement of people. It’s the latest in a series of theories that have drawn upon evolutionary biology, developmental biology, psychology and neuroscience to explain how human beings came to cultivate music as a complex, expressive craft. Music has persisted in society, but it doesn't seem to come with any obvious survival benefit. If it wasn't essential to survival, why did it stick around? "Harnessed," a new book by neurobiologist Mark Changizi, focuses on the origins of music - and how music helped shape humanity. “Music really is the story about a person moving or doing something around you,” Changizi told me. “It’s just like listening to a story. We’re having an auditory story about people moving our midst.” The appreciation for music grew and developed from this primal urge, monopolizing a natural faculty meant for human survival. Music essentially “harnessed” this urge, Changizi says, which also explains the title of the book. “A lot of thinking is remote from the physical act of making music,” William Benson, a jazz musician and author of the book "Beethoven’s Anvil," told me. “And [Changizi] gets right to the physical aspect of making music.” For one thing, it explains music's emotional appeal. In his book, Changizi described a study that looked at the foot patterns of people in different emotional states. When they were happy, sad or angry, their gaits betrayed their feelings. “Music may not be marching orders from our commander, but it can sometimes cue our emotional system so precisely that we feel almost compelled to march in lockstep with music’s fictional mover,” Changizi writes. “And this is true whether we are adults or toddlers. When music is effective at getting us to mimic the movement it mimics, we call it dance music, be it a Strauss waltz or a Grateful Dead flail.” The relationship between movement and music may come as a surprise for some, but not so much for others. In some African cultures, the word for "music" and "dance" are one and the same. In contrast, concert pianists or cellists sit still when they perform. Why this difference? Blame the Gregorian chant, says Benson. Monasteries were the intellectual centers of Europe in the Middle Ages. Monks chanted tonal, arrhythmic verses daily, developed the Western musical notation, and set the pattern for the understanding and performance of Western music during the centuries that followed. “And if you think of that as the basis for music, then you’re not going to get the kind of music you get in Africa and India,” Benson told me. Essentially, the Gregorian chant decoupled the ideas of movement and rhythm from music in the Western world. But Changizi's theory brings the ideas together once again, backed by a statistical approach that looks more deeply into the correlation between dance and movement and music. Take a deeper look into the brain, and you may have an even more convincing case for music being an intrinsic characteristic of the human experience, says Edward Large, who studies how the brain processes sound and rhythm. While Changizi's musical analysis sounds reasonable, there may be an even deeper universality. "The paydirt is where you find the same patters in the brain that you find in the music," he told me. So, the human brain was harnessed. A faculty that came into being for survival — recognizing the behavioral patterns in the movements of others — was tweaked, and music hitched a ride into the lives of modern humans. We see such behavior all the time, Changizi explains. Just look at cats: “Although tuna is not what cat ancestors ate, tuna is sufficiently meat-ish in odor and taste that it fits right into a cat’s finicky diet disposition.” And music, it seems, is tuna for our finicky brains.

Myocarditis is an inflammation of the heart muscle. There are various causes but it is usually caused by a virus. Depending on the cause and severity, symptoms and possible problems can range from no symptoms at all, to life-threatening heart failure. Many people with myocarditis recover completely but it can cause serious problems and even death in some cases. What causes myocarditis and who is affected by it? Myocarditis means inflammation of the myocardium. The myocardium is the heart muscle. Myocarditis can affect anyone and occur at any age. There are various causes; many are mild and some are serious. Causes include the following: Many types of viral infection can affect several parts of the body, including the heart muscle. Myocarditis may develop at the same time as, or more often just after, a viral throat or chest infection. The body's immune system can clear many types of virus. This means that many cases of viral myocarditis go away on their own within a week or so. In the UK, the most common infections causing myocarditis are viruses called Coxsackie B and adenovirus. Other viruses which sometimes cause myocarditis include: - Flu (influenza). - Glandular fever (Epstein-Barr virus). - German measles (rubella). - Chickenpox (varicella). - Yellow fever. - Dengue fever. - Polio (poliomyelitis). - Viruses that cause hepatitis A and hepatitis C. Sometimes the inflammation in the heart lasts longer than other features of the infection. The virus may have gone but the immune system may over-react and cause inflammation which persists for a time in the heart. Unknown cause (idiopathic myocarditis) In many people with myocarditis, the cause is not found. However, for the majority of these people it is likely to be caused by a virus that could not be confirmed by a test. Other causes of myocarditis are much less common. They include: - Other types of infection. The heart can sometimes become infected by various bacteria, fungi, parasites and other germs. For example: - Chagas' disease. This is an infection caused by a protozoan called Trypanosoma cruzi. You can catch this infection from an insect bite in certain tropical countries. Worldwide, this is a common cause of myocarditis (but is rare in the UK). With this infection a form of myocarditis develops many years after the initial infection. This leads to a gradual destruction of heart tissue, which can cause severe heart failure. - Lyme disease. This is an infection caused by a germ (bacterium) called Borrelia burgdorferi. You can catch this infection by a bite from an infected tick. - Giant cell myocarditis. This is a very rare condition and gets its name from abnormal cells which develop in the heart. The cause is not known but it tends to develop in some people who have a growth on the thymus gland (a thymoma), systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) - also known as lupus - or an overactive thyroid (thyrotoxicosis). - A rare side-effect of some medicines and a rare complication of various diseases. - Other damaging agents. For example, inflammation in the heart can be caused by excess alcohol, radiation, certain chemicals and certain poisons. - Rejection following a heart transplant. What are the symptoms of myocarditis? The symptoms depend on the cause and severity of the inflammation. Many people with viral myocarditis do not have any heart-related symptoms. The heart inflammation may be suspected by some changes on a heart trace (electrocardiogram, or ECG) - see 'How is myocarditis diagnosed?', below. If symptoms do develop they can include: - Chest pain. - Raised temperature (fever). - A fast heartbeat - faster than usual for a normal high temperature. - An irregular heartbeat. - Shortness of breath. What are the possible complications? Complications may develop if the inflammation damages the heart muscle or the fibres that conduct the electrical impulses in the heart. Complications develop quickly in some cases following sudden-onset (acute) symptoms listed above. Some cases of myocarditis develop gradually (such as in Chagas' disease) and have no acute symptoms. It may be that the complications are the first indication that you have had myocarditis in the past. Possible complications include: - Sudden loss of consciousness (syncope). - Abnormally fast, slow or irregular heartbeats (cardiac arrhythmias). - Heart failure which can cause shortness of breath, swelling of the legs and tiredness. See separate leaflet called Heart Failure for more details. How is myocarditis diagnosed? Your symptoms are likely to lead your doctor to make the possible diagnosis of myocarditis. A heart trace of your heart's electrical activity (an electrocardiogram) may be done. A chest X-ray may show that your heart is larger than normal. It is also likely you will have some blood tests to test for some of the viruses that can cause myocarditis. An ultrasound scan of the heart (an echocardiogram) may also be arranged. You may also have an MRI scan to show how your heart is being affected. Some people need to have an endomyocardial biopsy. This involves taking a very small tissue sample of the heart to investigate for the cause of myocarditis. Newer tests which are more sensitive at diagnosing some of the viruses are currently being developed. What is the treatment of myocarditis? The treatment of myocarditis will depend on the cause and severity of your myocarditis. Bed rest is usually recommended at the onset of myocarditis and athletic activities should be avoided for six months. This aims to avoid putting undue strain on the heart muscle. Painkillers will help to ease chest pain and high temperature (fever). There is no treatment that will cure a viral infection. However, for most people with viral myocarditis, the virus clears away on its own without any treatment, often within a week or so. In the past, the use of medicines called steroids has been tried. However, there are no clinical studies which demonstrate steroids as being beneficial other than for giant cell myocarditis. Different treatments for myocarditis are currently being investigated in other clinical studies. For the more uncommon causes, or if complications develop, a range of treatments may be needed. For example: - Medication to treat heart failure or irregular heartbeats. - A pacemaker if certain irregular heart rhythms develop. - Antibiotic medicines if the cause of the myocarditis is a germ (a bacterial infection). - Steroid medication if the cause is giant cell myocarditis. - Stopping alcohol if alcohol is the cause. What is the outlook (prognosis)? In most cases of viral myocarditis, the illness goes away on its own and there are no complications. Symptoms may last only a few days or weeks. However, some types of viral infection are more serious and can cause more severe or persistent inflammation and complications. Complications are more likely with the more uncommon causes of myocarditis. Sometimes the inflammation clears but the heart is left with some permanent damage. You may be left with a degree of heart failure which may require long-term medication. In some cases, the inflammation and heart damage are so severe that the only treatment option is a heart transplant. Myocarditis is fatal in some cases. In some cases death occurs some time after the diagnosis is made if the condition becomes worse and unresponsive to treatment. Also, some cases of sudden death in a previously healthy person are due to an acute myocarditis that develops rapidly.

Declared value refers to the value placed on a package or shipment imported for the purpose of resale, based on the declaration of the shipper. An alternative term for declared value is entry value. There are two main classifications under declared value. Declared value for carriage is that which is declared by the owner or shipper which will then serve as the basis for the computation of freight charges. This value is generally the same as the cost price of the item for shipment. The declared value for carriage also serves to set limits for the carrier’s liabilities in the event of loss, delays, or damage to the shipment. On the other hand, the declared value for customs is that which is declared by the shipper for the purpose of duties and taxes computations. In contrast to the declared value for carriage, it is usually equal to the selling price of the shipment. Oftentimes, the declared value for customs is higher than that for carriage. It must be noted, however, that customs tariffs are not usually applied to domestic products. Tariffs are taxes assessed and imposed by the appropriate government authority on goods which go through international borders or ports. Tariffs may be based on the type of good, but are generally dependent on its declared value. Once a batch of goods crosses an international border, it becomes subject to the inspection of a customs officer who then applies the appropriate tariffs. In order to avoid tariff payments, some entities engage in smuggling activities and sell their goods in the black market.
In Vancouver last winter, the United States proved its competitive spirit by winning more medals—gold, silver, and bronze—at the Winter Olympic Games than any other country, although the German member of our research team insists on pointing out that Canada and Germany both won more gold medals than the United States. But if there is some dispute about which Olympic medals to count, there is no question about American math performance: the United States does not deserve even a paper medal. Maintaining our productivity as a nation depends importantly on developing a highly qualified cadre of scientists, engineers, entrepreneurs, and other professionals. To realize that objective requires a system of schooling that produces students with advanced math and science skills. To see how well schools in the United States do at producing high-achieving math students, we compared the percentage of U.S. students in the high-school graduating Class of 2009 with advanced skills in mathematics to percentages of similarly high achievers in other countries. Unfortunately, we found that the percentage of students in the U.S. Class of 2009 who were highly accomplished in math is well below that of most countries with which the United States generally compares itself. No fewer than 30 of the 56 other countries that participated in the Program for International Student Assessment (PISA) math test, including most of the world’s industrialized nations, had a larger percentage of students who scored at the international equivalent of the advanced level on our own National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP) tests. Moreover, while the percentage of students scoring at the advanced level on NAEP varies considerably among the 50 states, not even the best state does well in international comparison. A 2005 report from the National Academy of Sciences, Rising Above the Gathering Storm, succinctly put the issue into perspective: “Although many people assume that the United States will always be a world leader in science and technology, this may not continue to be the case inasmuch as great minds and ideas exist throughout the world.” The Demand for High Achievers The gap between the burgeoning business demand for a highly accomplished workforce and a lagging education system has steadily widened. Even as the United States was struggling with a near 10 percent unemployment rate in the summer of 2010, businesses complained that they could not find workers with needed skills. New York Times writer Motoko Rich explained, “The problem…is a mismatch between the kind of skilled workers needed and the ranks of the unemployed.” Skill shortages have severe consequences for a nation’s overall productivity. Two of the authors of this report have shown elsewhere that countries with students who perform at higher levels in math and science show larger rates of increase in economic productivity than do otherwise similar countries with lower-performing students (see “Education and Economic Growth,” research, Spring 2008). Public discourse has tended to focus on the need to address low achievement, particularly among disadvantaged students. Both federal funding and the accountability elements of No Child Left Behind (NCLB) have stressed the importance of bringing every student up to a minimum level of proficiency. As great as this need may be, there is no less need to lift more students, no matter their socioeconomic background, to high levels of educational accomplishment. In 2006, the Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) Education Coalition was formed to “raise awareness in Congress, the Administration, and other organizations about the critical role that STEM education plays in enabling the U.S. to remain the economic and technological leader of the global marketplace for the 21st Century.” In the words of a National Academy of Sciences report that jump-started the coalition’s formation, the nation needs to “increase” its “talent pool by improving K–12 science and mathematics education.” We give special attention to math performance because math appears to be the subject in which accomplishment in secondary school is particularly significant for both an individual’s and a country’s economic well-being. Existing research, though not conclusive, indicates that math skills better predict future earnings and other economic outcomes than other skills learned in high school. The American Diploma Project estimates that “in 62 percent of American jobs over the next 10 years, entry-level workers will need to be proficient in algebra, geometry, data interpretation, probability and statistics.” There is also a technical reason for focusing our analysis on math. This subject is particularly well suited to rigorous comparisons across countries and cultures. There is a fairly clear international consensus on the math concepts and techniques that need to be mastered and on the order in which those concepts should be introduced into the curriculum. The knowledge to be learned remains the same regardless of the dominant language spoken in a culture. Data and Methodology Our analysis relies on test-score information from NAEP and PISA. NAEP, the National Assessment of Educational Progress, is often called the nation’s report card. It is a large, nationally representative assessment of student performance in public and private schools in mathematics, reading, and science that has been administered periodically since the early 1970s to U.S. students in 4th grade and 8th grade, and at the age of 17. PISA, the Program for International Student Assessment, is an internationally standardized assessment of student performance in mathematics, science, and reading established by the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD). It was administered in 2000, 2003, and 2006 to representative samples of 15-year-olds in all 30 OECD countries (which include the most developed countries of the world) as well as in many others. We focus on performance of the international equivalent of the U.S. high-school graduating Class of 2009 at the time when this population was in the equivalent of U.S. grades 8 and 9. NAEP was administered to U.S. 8th graders in 2005, while PISA 2006 was given one year later to students at the age of 15, the year at which most American students are in 9th grade. In 2005, NAEP tested representative samples of 8th-grade public and private school students in each of the 50 states in math, science, and reading. For each state, NAEP 2005 calculates the percentage of students who meet a set of achievement standards: a “basic” level, a “proficient” level, and an “advanced” level of achievement. The focus of this report is the top performers, the percentage of students NAEP found at the advanced level of achievement (subsequently referred to as “advanced”). Only 6.04 percent of the students in the United States in 8th grade in 2005 scored at the advanced level in math on the NAEP. Some critics feel that the standard set by the NAEP governing board is excessively stringent. However, the 2007 Trends in International Math and Science Study (TIMSS 2007), another international test that has been administered to students throughout the world, appears to have set a standard very similar to NAEP 2005, as only 6 percent of U.S. 8th graders scored at the advanced level on that test as well. We use the NAEP 2005 advanced standard to compare U.S. performance with that in other countries. Because U.S. students took both NAEP 2005 and PISA 2006, it is possible to find the score on PISA that is tantamount to scoring at the advanced level on NAEP, i.e., the score that will yield the same percentage of students as the percentage of U. S. students who scored at the advanced level on the NAEP. A score on PISA 2006 of 617.1 points is equivalent to the lowest score attained by anyone in the top 6.04 percent of U.S. students in the Class of 2009. (The PISA assessment has an average score of 500 among OECD students and a standard deviation of 100.) It is assumed that both NAEP and PISA tests randomly select questions from a common universe of mathematics knowledge. Given that assumption, it may be further assumed that students who scored similarly on the two exams will have similar math knowledge, i.e., students who scored 617.1 points or better on the PISA test would have been identified at the advanced level had they taken the NAEP math test. Inasmuch as a score of 617.1 points is more than one standard deviation above the average student score on the PISA, it is clear that a group of highly accomplished students has been isolated. (For more methodological details, see sidebar.) We start with the national share of 8th-grade U.S. public and private school students (most of whom are 14 years of age) who reach the advanced level in math on NAEP 2005: 6.04 percent. These students are assumed to be part of the cohort of 15-year-olds who participated in PISA 2006 one year later. Thus, using the PISA 2006 microdata, we can calculate the PISA math test score at which the 93.96th percentile (100.00 – 6.04) of the U.S. student population performs. All PISA calculations use the PISA sampling weights to yield nationally representative estimates. The PISA scaling methodology returns student performance estimates through a range of five plausible values, which are random draws from the estimated probability distribution for a student’s underlying performance. We perform our analysis separately for each of the five plausible values provided by PISA 2006. We then average these results. Based on these calculations, we estimate the PISA score at which the 93.96th percentile of the U.S. student population performs to be 617.1 PISA points. Next, we calculate from the PISA microdata the share of students reaching this cutoff point for each country participating in the PISA 2006 test. This provides an estimate of the share of students in each PISA country who reach the equivalent of the advanced level in 8th-grade math on NAEP 2005. The share of students who reach the advanced level in 8th-grade math in each U.S. state is taken from NAEP 2005. For information on the statistical significance of differences among jurisdictions, see the unabridged version of this study, available here. Because representative samples of student performance on NAEP 2005 are available for each state, it is possible to compare the percentages of students in the Class of 2009 who were at the advanced level for each state to the percentage of equally skilled students in countries from around the globe. In short, linking the scores of the Class of 2009 on NAEP 2005 and PISA 2006 provides us with the opportunity to assess from an international vantage point how well the country as well as individual states in the United States are doing at lifting students to high levels of accomplishment. U. S. Math Performance in World Perspective We begin with an overall assessment of the relative percentages of young adults in the United States and other countries who have reached a very high level of mathematics achievement. It is frequently noted that the United States has a very heterogeneous population, with large numbers of immigrants. Such a diverse population, with students coming to school with varying preparation, may handicap U.S. performance relative to that of other countries. For this reason, we also examine two U.S. subgroups conventionally thought to have better preparation for school—white students and students from families where at least one parent is reported to have received a college degree—and compare the percentages of high-achieving students among them to the (total) populations abroad. Overall results. The percentage of students in the U.S. Class of 2009 who were highly accomplished is well below that of most countries with which the United States generally compares itself. While just 6 percent of U.S. students earned at least 617.1 points on the PISA 2006 exam, 28 percent of Taiwanese students did. (See Figure 1 for these results as well as for the international rank of each U.S. state.) It is not only Taiwan that did much, much better than the United States. At least 20 percent of students in Hong Kong, Korea, and Finland were similarly highly accomplished. Twelve other countries had more than twice the percentage of advanced students as the United States: in order of math excellence, they are Switzerland, Belgium, the Netherlands, Liechtenstein, New Zealand, the Czech Republic, Japan, Canada, Macao-China, Australia, Germany, and Austria. The remaining countries that educate a greater proportion of their students to a high level are Slovenia, Denmark, Iceland, France, Estonia, Sweden, the United Kingdom, the Slovak Republic, Luxembourg, Hungary, Poland, Norway, Ireland and Lithuania. The 30-country list includes virtually all the advanced industrialized nations of the world. The only OECD countries producing a smaller percentage of advanced math students than the United States are Portugal, Greece, Turkey, and Mexico. The performance levels of students in Spain and Italy are statistically indistinguishable from those of students in the United States, as are those of students in Latvia, which has subsequently joined the OECD. State-level performance. The percentage of students scoring at the advanced level varies among the 50 states. Massachusetts, with over 11 percent of its students at the advanced level, does better than any other state, but its performance trails that of 14 countries. Its students’ achievement level is similar to that of Germany and France. Minnesota, with more than 10 percent of its students at the advanced level, ranks second among the 50 states, but it trails 16 countries and performs at the level attained by Slovenia and Denmark. New York and Texas each have a percentage of students scoring at the advanced level that is roughly comparable to the United States as a whole, Lithuania, and the Russian Federation. Just 4.5 percent of the students in the Silicon Valley state of California are performing at a high level, a percentage roughly comparable to that of Portugal. The lowest-ranking states—West Virginia, New Mexico, and Mississippi—have a smaller percentage of the highest-performing students than Serbia or Uruguay, although they do edge out Romania, Brazil, and Kyrgyzstan. In short, the percentages of high-achieving students in the United States—and in most of its individual states—are shockingly below those of many of the world’s leading industrialized nations. Results for many states are at a level equal to those of third-world countries. (Click the image below for an interactive map providing specific information for each state.) White students. The overall news is sobering. Some might try to comfort themselves by saying the problem is limited to large numbers of students from immigrant families, or to African American students and others who have suffered from discrimination. For example, the statement by the STEM Coalition that we “encourage more of our best and brightest students, especially those from underrepresented or disadvantaged groups, to study in STEM fields” suggests that the challenges are concentrated in nonwhite segments of the U.S. population. Without denying that the paucity of high-achieving students within minority populations is a serious issue, let us consider the performance of white students for whom the case of discrimination cannot easily be made. Twenty-four countries have a larger percentage of highly accomplished students than the 8 percent achieving at that level among the U.S. white student population in the Class of 2009. Looking at just white students places the U.S. at a level equivalent to what all students are achieving in the United Kingdom, Hungary, and Poland. Seven percent of California’s white students are advanced, roughly the percentage for all Lithuanian students. Children of parents with college degrees. Another possibility is that schools help students reach levels of high accomplishment if parents are providing the necessary support. To explore this possibility, we assumed that students who reported that at least one parent had graduated from college were likely to be given the kind of support that is needed for many to reach high levels of achievement. Approximately 45 percent of all U.S. students reported that at least one parent had a college degree. The portion of students in the Class of 2009 with a college-graduate parent who are performing at the advanced level is 10.3 percent. When compared to all students in the other PISA countries, this advantaged segment of the U.S. population was outranked by students in 16 other countries. Nine percent of Illinois students with a college-educated parent scored at the advanced level, a percentage comparable to all students in France and the United Kingdom. The percentage of highly accomplished students from college-educated families in Rhode Island is just short of 6 percent, the same percentage for all students in Spain, Italy, and Latvia. The Previous Rosy Gloss Many casual observers may be surprised by our findings, as two previous, highly publicized studies have suggested that—even though improvement was possible—the U.S. was doing all right. This was the picture from two reports issued by Gary Phillips of the American Institutes for Research, who compared the average performance in math of 8th-grade students in each of the 50 states with the average scores of 8th-grade students in other countries. These comparisons used methods that are similar to ours to relate 2007 NAEP performance for U.S. students to both TIMSS 2003 and TIMSS 2007. His findings are more favorable to the United States than those shown by our analyses. While our study using the PISA data shows U.S. student performance in math to be below 30 other countries, Phillips found the average U.S. student to be performing better than all but 14 other countries in his 2007 report and all but 8 countries in his 2009 report. (Oddly, the 2007 report takes a much more buoyant perspective than the 2009 report, though the data suggest otherwise.) Phillips also finds that individual states do much better vis-à-vis other countries than we report. Why do two studies that seem to be employing generally similar methodologies produce such strikingly different results? The answer to that puzzle is actually quite simple and has little to do with the fact that Phillips compares average student performance while our study focuses on advanced students: many OECD countries, including those that had a high percentage of high-achieving students, participated in PISA 2006 (upon which our analysis is based) but did not participate in either TIMSS 2003 or TIMSS 2007, the two surveys included in the Phillips studies. In fact, 19 countries that outscored the U.S. on the PISA 2006 test did not participate in TIMSS 2003, and 22 higher-scoring countries did not participate in TIMSS 2007. As a report by the U.S. National Center for Education Statistics has explained, “Differences in the set of countries that participate in an assessment can affect how well the United States appears to do internationally when results are released.” Put starkly, if one drops from a survey countries such as Canada, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, and New Zealand, and includes instead such countries as Botswana, Ghana, Iran, and Lebanon, the average international performance will drop, and the United States will look better relative to the countries with which it is being compared. Did NCLB shift the focus away from the best and the brightest? Some attribute the comparatively small percentages of students performing at the advanced level to the focus of the 2002 federal accountability statute, No Child Left Behind, on the educational needs of very low performing students. That law mandates that every student be brought up to the level a state deems proficient, a standard that most states set well below NAEP’s proficient standard, to say nothing of the advanced level that is the focus of this report. In order to comply with the federal law, some assert, schools are concentrating all available resources on the educationally deprived, leaving advanced students to fend for themselves. If so, then we should see a decline in the percentage of students performing at NAEP’s advanced level subsequent to the passage of the 2002 federal law. In mathematics, however, the opposite has happened. The percentage performing at the advanced level was only 3.7 percent in 1996 and 4.7 percent in the year 2000. But the percentage performing at an advanced level climbed steadily to the 7.9 percent attained in 2009. Perhaps NCLB’s passage in 2002 dampened the prior rate of growth in the achievement of high-performing students. To ascertain whether that was the case, we compared the rate of change in the NAEP math scores of the top 10 percent of all 8th graders between 1990 and 2003 (before NCLB was fully implemented) with the rate of change after NCLB had become effective law. Between 1990 and 2003, the scores of students at the 90th percentile rose from 307 to 321, an increment of 14 points, or a growth rate of 1.0 points a year. Between 2003 and 2009, the shift upward for the 90th percentile was another 8 points, or a change of 1.3 points a year. Our results are confirmed by a more detailed study of NCLB’s impact on high-performing students conducted by economists Brian Jacob and Thomas Dee. In short, the incapacity of American schools to bring students up to the highest level of accomplishment in mathematics is much more deepseated than anything induced by recent federal legislation. The economic and technological demand for a talented, well-educated, highly skilled population has never been greater. Not only must everyday workers have a set of technical skills surpassing those needed in the past, but a cadre of highly talented professionals trained to the highest level of accomplishment is needed to foster innovation and growth. In the words of President Barack Obama, “Whether it’s improving our health or harnessing clean energy, protecting our security or succeeding in the global economy, our future depends on reaffirming America’s role as the world’s engine of scientific discovery and technological innovation. And that leadership tomorrow depends on how we educate our students today, especially in math, science, technology, and engineering.” Unfortunately, the United States trails other industrialized countries in bringing a large proportion of its students up to the highest levels of accomplishment. This is not a story of some states doing well but being dragged down by states that perform poorly. Nor is it a story of immigrant or disadvantaged or minority students hiding the strong performance of better-prepared students. Comparatively small percentages of white students are high achievers. Only a small proportion of the children of our college-educated population is equipped to compete with students in a majority of OECD countries. Major policy initiatives within the United States have in recent years focused on the educational needs of low-performing students. Such efforts deserve commendation, but they can leave the impression that there is no similar need to enhance the education of those students the STEM coalition has called “the best and brightest.” Yet, with rapidly advancing technologies in an increasingly integrated world economy, no one doubts the extraordinary importance of highly accomplished professionals. Admittedly, the United States could simply ignore the needs of its own young people and continue to import highly skilled scientists and engineers who were prepared by better-performing schools abroad. But even such a heartless, irresponsible strategy relies on both the nature of immigration policies and the absence of better opportunities abroad, two things on which we might not want the future to depend. It seems much more prudent to encourage the most capable of our own people to reach high levels of academic accomplishment. Eric A.

Purim for the year 2026 is celebrated/ observed on sundown of March 2 ending at sundown on Tuesday, March 3. Purim is celebrated on the 14th day in the month Adar using the Jewish calendar. For the Gregorian calendar the day falls in the months of February and March. The day commemorates back in the 4th century BC, when Jewish people were saved from a death decree according to the book of Esther. Why do Jewish holidays start at nighttime? According to the Torah, the story of creation in Genesis says “And it was evening, and it was morning day one”, “And it was evening, and it was morning; the second day”, thus night comes before day. So for the Jewish calendar all days begin at nightfall and end the next day at nightfall including holidays. Days to Purim 2026 Monday, March 2nd is day number 61 of the 2026 calendar year with 2 years, 3 months, 1 day until Purim 2026. |When:||14th day of Adar in Hebrew Calendar| Dates for Purim |Holiday||Date||Days to Go| |Purim 2022||Friday, March 18, 2022||-623| |Purim 2023||Wednesday, March 08, 2023||-268| |Purim 2024||Monday, March 25, 2024||115| |Purim 2025||Saturday, March 15, 2025||470| |Purim 2026||Tuesday, March 03, 2026||823| |Purim 2027||Tuesday, March 23, 2027||1208|
By: Dr. Stacey Solomon Chair, Department of Psychology and Counseling Coordinator of School Counseling Programs at Caldwell University. Imagine this. Shortly after the semester begins, you are having trouble getting along with some of the people at your school, a common experience among college students. Here’s some advice for resolving conflicts during your college career. Some researchers say that how people handle the college transition indicates how they will handle future life transitions. Many factors make the transition to college tough, but the most significant is the necessity of getting along with people who hold different levels of influence and authority and have a variety of personality types. Conflict usually starts with a single problem and snowballs. In the Psychology and Counseling Department, we teach students that clients entering counseling may mistakenly identify the problem they are experiencing. In a relationship, the problem could be muddled and complicated by the history of either party, including hurt feelings, hurt pride, or shame, resentment and jealousy. Only when you understand what the problem is can you begin to solve it. Here is an example of a five-step problem-solving model. 1) What is the problem? 2) What are each person’s goals? 3) What are the ways to get what each person wants? 4) Pick and try a solution, looking for fairness and appropriate compromise. 5) Evaluate how that worked out for both parties. What would make it better? How People Respond to Conflict If conflict resolution were that simple, we wouldn’t have four more things to talk about. Another complication to conflict is how people react to it. Conflict is usually riddled with feelings of anger and hurt. John Gottman, founder of the Gottman Relationship Institute, spent years studying how people reacted to conflict. He says that masters and disasters of relationships have distinct patterns of dealing with conflict. Gottman found that people who are ineffective in arguments use what he calls the four horsemen of the apocalypse: 1) Contempt. You show contempt when you are mean, irritated or disrespectful or when you use sarcasm such as rolling your eyes. Contempt is toxic to relationships, and people who use this are most at risk for having unsuccessful relationships—relationship disasters. 2) Criticism. This can easily become a bad habit. It’s especially harmful in an argument, for instance in responding to a person who is upset and mispronounces a word or uses flawed English. 3) Defensiveness. Feeling accused escalates the conflict. 4) Stonewalling. This involves avoiding conflict or anything else by shutting down. Examples are the silent treatment, looking away or not responding to questions. Relationship Masters and Disasters Gottman says one thing that separates the relationship masters from the disasters is repair attempts. Usually after people argue, one person may try to make up or be nice. This is an attempt to repair the relationship. Relationship masters are first to make the repair attempt or are quick to respond in a positive way to it. This requires the ability to forgive the other person. Relationship disasters neither make an attempt to repair or respond positively to attempts by another person mostly because they do not easily forgive others. The ability to forgive can reduce anger, resentment and negative thoughts about others. Two additional traits that Gottman found in unsuccessful conflict participants are what he calls “harsh startups” and “the bombarder.” A person engages in a harsh startup by beginning a “discussion” in a negative, accusatory or harsh way. Doing so makes it just about 100 percent certain that the conversation won’t end well. Starting positively or evenly requires emotional self-control. The bombarder overwhelms an opponent with whatever has been festering inside for hours, days, weeks or, in some instances, years. Females are more prone to this than are males. Women tend to keep a mental list of offenses by others, and when they reach a boiling point they can recite the list from memory. Successful conflict resolution requires a present state of mind and letting go of the past. The next strategy comes from Oprah. She once had on her show an author who discussed how to have a breakthrough effect in relationships. It is based on the concept of intentionality—creating a breakthrough in a relationship by evaluating your thinking to improve the situation. Think about the relationships in your life and contemplate the following questions. 1) Which relationship is most difficult for you? 2) How do you feel in this relationship? 3) How do you show up in this relationship? 4) What feelings do you experience in this relationship? 5) Have you felt these feelings before? 6) What behaviors would you like to stop displaying in this relationship? 7) What is one breakthrough action you can take this week, either with this person or with yourself, to improve the relationship or how you feel about it? 8) What is the best possible outcome for this relationship? 9) How would you show up in this relationship if this were happening? When It Is Time to Get Help The final area of this discussion is perhaps the most crucial. It is recognizing when you are in an abusive relationship and need help. Abusive relationships can pertain to dating, friendships, roommates and teammates. You are in an abusive relationship when: - Someone takes or breaks your belonging - A person tries to control you by being bossy or demanding or is jealous or possessive toward you. (Jealousy is the primary symptom of abusive relationships.) - Someone tries to isolate you by demanding you cut off social contacts and friendships. - Someone is violent and/or loses his or her temper quickly. - A person claims you are responsible for his or her emotional state. - A person blames you when he or she mistreats you. - You frequently worry about how a person will react to things you say or do. - Someone makes “jokes” that shame, humiliate, demean or embarrass you, whether privately or around family and friends. - You have trouble ending the relationship, even though you know inside it’s the right thing to do. If you are concerned about an abusive relationship, you should reach out to someone who can help. Students can turn to the college counseling office.

(CNN) -- At the edge of the heliosphere, you wouldn't know by looking whether you left the cradle of humanity behind and floated out into interstellar space. You would just see unfathomably empty space, no matter which side of the invisible line you were on. But scientists now have strong evidence that NASA's Voyager 1 probe has crossed this important border, making history as the first human-made object to leave the heliosphere, the magnetic boundary separating the solar system's sun, planets and solar wind from the rest of the galaxy. "In leaving the heliosphere and setting sail on the cosmic seas between the stars, Voyager has joined other historic journeys of exploration: The first circumnavigation of the Earth, the first steps on the Moon," said Ed Stone, chief scientist on the Voyager mission. "That's the kind of event this is, as we leave behind our solar bubble." A new study in the journal Science suggests that the probe entered the interstellar medium around August 25, 2012. You may have heard other reports that Voyager 1 has made the historic crossing before, but Thursday was the first time NASA announced it. The twin spacecraft Voyager 1 and 2 were launched in 1977, 16 days apart. As of Thursday, according to NASA's real-time odometer, Voyager 1 is 18.8 billion kilometers (11.7 billion miles) from Earth. Its sibling, Voyager 2, is 15.3 billion (9.5 billion) kilometers from our planet. Technically, if you include the distant comets that orbit the sun, then Voyager 1 has not left "the solar system," Stone said. For that, we'll have to wait another 30,000 years. Another milestone for long after we're gone: The probe will fly near a star in about 40,000 years, Stone said. Read more from CNN
A big problem was waiting for Matt Jensen, the superintendent of the Bigfork public schools, as he arrived to work on a Monday in November. His 900-student Montana district was under a cyberattack. A self-replicating computer virus had eaten its way through most of the schools’ servers—including the student-information system—and encrypted huge amounts of data, making it inaccessible to Bigfork employees. The perpetrators of the breach had also left a disconcerting message for Jensen’s IT director: They were demanding a ransom in exchange for a decryption key that would immediately unlock the data. The alternative to paying up would be to rebuild the district’s data systems from backups or, in a worst-case scenario, from scratch. Experts have seen a spike in “ransomware” attacks across all sectors of the economy in recent years. Criminals have hit all types of organizations, public and private, including K-12 districts. Multiple strains of the computer virus exist, but most versions of such malware behave much like the type that infected the Bigfork network. “Ransomware does not discriminate,” said Will Bales, a supervisory special agent in the FBI’s cyber division. “Whether it’s a big school district or a small school district, they have the same possibility of being hit.” Once the virus has infected a network and scrambled every Word document, spreadsheet, and data file it finds, the people behind the attack will ask for a ransom in bitcoin, an untraceable virtual currency, in return for the decryption key. But Jensen said he never even considered paying the cybercriminals: “We weren’t going to negotiate with them.” Even if his district paid the ransom, he said, there would be no iron-clad assurances that the hackers would actually return access to the data. Paying, said Jensen, “would only empower a criminal group.” ‘A Business Decision’ Other ransomware victims haven’t had the luxury of taking Jensen’s hard-line approach. In many cases, the criminals’ ransom request is far smaller than the dollar value of the damage the malware has inflicted. Some districts have been forced to weigh the ethics of paying a few thousand dollars to untrustworthy and anonymous criminals against surviving for weeks without access to lesson plans, learning software, or student records. “Paying the ransom was not a philosophical decision, but a business decision,” said Charles Hucks, the executive technology director for South Carolina’s Horry County schools. “What’s it worth per day to not have access for our 43,200 students?” After his district was critically hit by a ransomware attack last school year, Hucks immediately shut his servers down to stop the spread of the virus. He then urged his bosses, who oversee a half-billion-dollar yearly operating budget, to pay the nearly $10,000 ransom. School districts can take a number of steps to avoid ransomware attacks on their computer systems, including: • Back up everything, and make sure safeguards are in place so malware cannot easily jump to infect backup systems. • Make sure network users scrutinize incoming email and report rather than open strange attachments from unsolicited addresses. • Download software only from secure and trusted sources. Never pirate software from illegal or questionable peer-to-peer websites. • Have strong access controls. Student accounts shouldn’t have administrative privileges. Internal restrictions on access can prevent a bug from spreading. • Make sure system updates, including for anti-virus software, are installed regularly. • Change passwords regularly, and train staff members in best cyberpractices. • Test your own defenses. Hire a vendor to try to hack the system to find vulnerabilities and address them. • Have an incident-response plan ready in case something goes wrong. SOURCES: FBI and BitSight Technologies Even with the risk that the hackers would take the money and run—Hucks said officials “were horrified” the culprits wouldn’t follow through with a decryption key—the cost and time associated with laboriously rebuilding district networks from compromised backups outweighed all other considerations. Law-enforcement agencies like the FBI generally discourage hacked organizations from paying ransoms. Special agent Bales agrees with Jensen that doing so only emboldens criminal enterprises. But in practice, some experts and law-enforcement officials have conceded that acquiescing to the demands can, at times, be in an organization’s best financial interests. Regardless of whether an organization decides to pay the ransom, Bales and the FBI want to hear from all ransomware victims to gather evidence. Cybercrimes can be reported to the FBI’s local field offices or its website, www.ic3.gov. In some cases, the FBI or private industry has already found a “key” or antidote to a ransomware strain, and by reporting the attack, organizations have been able to easily recover their files. But what if a school district, like Horry schools, can’t find a decryption key, and decides to pay the ransom? “The criminals have an incentive to unlock the data” once they are paid, said Stephen Boyer, a co-founder of BitSight Technologies, a Cambridge, Mass.-based cybersecurity company. The criminals need a track record of victims’ getting their data back, he explained, or new targets will stop paying. Preventing Future Attacks That’s not to say that Boyer typically advises his clients to pay the ransom: “That’s a tough question that can only be taken on a case-by-case basis.” Boyer also cited cases in which a ransom is paid and files are decrypted, but the malware remains in the system, allowing the hackers to come back weeks or months later. The best defense, Boyer said, is to have strong backups in place, and have outside professionals reset the system and do a full incident report if a district network is compromised. That was the course of action Jensen used in Montana’s Bigfork district. Bigfork’s network was backed up twice: one set of servers on-site that was compromised in the attack, and another housed by an outside vendor that was spared. It took Jensen’s technology team a week to restore all its systems and ensure the computer systems were clean. In South Carolina, the hackers of the Horry County district came through with a working decryption key soon after the ransom was paid. Hucks was able to get the “mission critical” functions of his servers—like the district’s student-information system—back up in days. The ultimate damage to the school system was a two- to three-week disruption and $30,000 from its budget. In addition to the ransom, the district hired cybersecurity consultants to ensure the malware had been expunged and the criminals could not come back through the same weaknesses in the network. The Horry County attack was widely publicized in the weeks following its resolution, and Hucks was invited to testify before Congress about the ransomware threat. For both school districts, as is common in such cases, the crimes were reported but the perpetrators went undiscovered. Like other cybercrimes, ransomware attacks can be difficult to trace. They often originate overseas, sometimes in countries that do not have extradition treaties with the United States. That’s why more districts should be focusing on preventive measures, said Boyer, the cybersecurity expert. His firm compiled a report that sampled the IT infrastructure of thousands of organizations in the education, government, health-care, energy, retail, and finance sectors to gauge their exposure to ransomware. It found that educational institutions and companies had the highest rate of ransomware infection. Small technology budgets, less emphasis on cybersecurity, and bring-your-own-device policies in schools make it harder to establish uniform firewalls and contribute to the challenges of protecting ed-tech infrastructure, Boyer said. Bales, of the FBI, agreed that districts have a lot of ground to cover: “Faculty, students, every single person who is connected to a school network is a potential liability.” Although some of the attacks are targeted, and higher education is more at risk than K-12 systems—universities tend to have larger networks and more financial wherewithal to pay ransom demands—Boyer’s team has found the attacks are usually “more opportunistic than targeted.” That means that rather than singling out victims, hackers might blast out thousands of emails with compromised links or attachments to thousands of organizations. That process, called “phishing,” allows hackers to prey on groups with the weakest controls and requires only a small proportion of the emails’ recipients to fall for the trap. For hackers, “even a one percent rate can be very lucrative,” said Boyer. The relatively small individual ransom payments add up quickly, he explained, and in addition to making it more likely that a targeted group will pay, small sums tend to draw less attention and resources from law enforcement. The good news for harried school district technology systems chiefs? Reducing risk exposure to ransomware attacks is relatively straightforward. (See box, this page.) “It’s not cutting-edge,” Boyer said of the standard preventive measures. “If you are doing the basic blocking and tackling of network security, your risk goes way down.” A version of this article appeared in the January 11, 2017 edition of Education Week as Ransomware Attacks Force School Districts To Shore Up — or Pay Up
The Šsioŵe Łuŵuŕ alphabet was created in 2006 by Jacob Collard. The alphabet began as an alternative script for English that was meant to be very compact but still easy to learn. However, the alphabet was later used for writing a conlang that Jacob had been writing, and has rarely been used for English since. The language has become the basis for a book that Jacob has been writing, which currently has no definite title. The basis for the compact writing is a square which can hold five or six letters depending on the first, therefore using space more efficiently. The cell structure is, in Šsioŵe Łuŵuŕ, the way that the letters combine into five-letter groups. One group is called a cloister and one space that may hold a letter is called a cell. There are also four digraphs: 'io' and 'ea' are pronounced as [ɪ] and [æ], respectively. 'Th' and 'dh' may be pronounced as either aspirated alveolar plosives or as dental fricatives, i.e. [tʰ] and [dʱ] or [θ] and [ð]. The 'X' shown represents any cloister. There are four basic diacritics in Šsioŵe Łuŵuŕ, all of them based on a curved stroke. All of them perform the same function, which is to make a voiceless sound voiced, but they each affect a different cloister in the cell. The primary diacritic voices the first cloister, the secondary voices the second cloister, the tertiary the third, the quaternary the fourth, and the quinary the fifth. There is also a senary diacritic, which voices the sixth cloister. The senary diacritic appears the same as the primary except with a vertical line through the center.

Eyes in the sky Do you ever get the feeling that you're being watched? This friendly-looking object is the result of two galaxies merging into one another, complete with a pair of eyes hiding two growing supermassive black holes and a swirling grin. Such mergers are rare in our galactic neighbourhood; Mrk 739 is close enough (astronomically speaking) to study the event in detail, and thus gain a better understanding of the dramatic processes that take place during these cosmic mergers. By using the MUSE instrument on ESO’s Very Large Telescope, the team of astronomers, led by master’s student Dusán Tubín at the Pontificia Universidad Católica de Chile, were able to study the effects of both the merger and the radiation emitted by the growing gigantic black holes. Their study answers questions about the motion of the galaxies, the age of their stars, and the elements they are made up of. They have found that one of these galaxies is much older than its companion, and that their merging process is at an early stage. MUSE is a 3D spectrograph that takes images — known as “datacubes” — of the object being observed over thousands of wavelengths. With MUSE, astronomers are therefore able to map in great detail the properties of the objects they study, because each individual pixel contains an impressive amount of information. Obtaining these exciting insights into galaxy merging and evolution with MUSE is enough to make anyone smile.Credit: ESO/Tubín et al.

N.B. If you’re after a quick answer then see here, if you want an in-depth outline see here or if you want to know how science works see here– this blog is more concerned with the broader conceptual framework within which science fits. Knowledge is an interesting concept – how can we really “know” anything? How do we determine truth from untruth? Does knowledge even require what is “known” to be true? I don’t think so – I think it merely needs to appear true. The human brain looks for explanations – being able to identify cause and effect is a powerful capability, after all, it underpins all human achievement. For example, if our ancestors were unable to identify that seeds grow into plants, we could never have established agriculture (and subsequently civilisation). There are a variety of ways in which we make links between cause and effect, from straightforward reflexive Pavlovian classical conditioning, through more complex methods of identifying concept-based causation, to the rigourous statistical analysis of double-blind randomised controlled trials of modern biomedical research (which marks our current best attempt at linking cause to effect, whilst minimising the influence of coincidental factors). However, one of the most common ways in which we find explanations is by relating an observed occurance with an observed outcome – we look for a correlation. Of course, the trouble with correlations is that you will often be spotting a relationship that doesn’t really exist. Factor A might occur at the same time or increase at the same rate as factor B, but it could be due to factors 1,2 and 3. For example, seasonal sales of ice-cream in the UK can be directly correlated with seasonal umbrella sales in Australia – obviously they are not directly related to each other, but they share the factor of seasonality in their respective hemispheres. So a summer in the Northern Hemisphere sees more ice-cream being bought, whilst in the Southern Hemisphere it is winter and people are buying umbrellas to keep off the rain. This is a simple illustration that is intended to be clear, but unfortunately most of the time we find it very difficult to identify what the factors involved in a correlation actually are – but that doesn’t stop us drawing conclusions from what we see, or think we see. So what else do we use as a way of acquiring knowledge, beyond drawing inspiration and conclusions about causation from what we experience? I suppose the other source of knowledge would be social/cultural – what we learn from others (link to pdf). This kind of knowledge can be supported by our own observations and experience, but it can also help inform us beyond our own experience. The trouble is, both personal and cultural knowledge are prone to inaccuracy – after all, cultural knowledge was personal once. Moreover, cultural knowledge has to be communicated, which provides opportunity for error to creep in; it also presupposes honesty – making it vulnerable to both genuine error and deliberate manipulation and misinformation. Some people may also want to add divine inspiration as a source of knowledge, after all, various religious texts are supposed (by some) to be transcriptions of the word of God. This concept of divine inspiration can be grouped with cultural knowledge, since no-one has direct access to the original source material, meaning that only copies or interpretations made by error-prone humans are available. The inconsistencies throughout religious texts (examples from the Bible and Quran) and the numerous examples of their observations not being supported by subsequent observations or even plain logic (examples from the Bible and Quran) clearly identify existing religious texts to be the works of mere mortals (if we assume that an omnipotent god should know what S/He’s talking about). So I suggest that we have two main sources of knowledge (or routes of learning) – what we’re told and what we’ve experienced. We use a combination of these sources of knowledge to inform our opinions and decisions, but we also use them as a foundation on which to formulate new ideas that themselves may contribute to further knowledge. It is this processing of information that humans are so good at, to the point where we take it for granted – it can be very difficult to pick apart just how we arrive at conclusions about the world. However, we each process information in different ways: some people are quick to pick up or develop new ideas in an unstructured way (let’s call this a heuristic approach), whilst others may be slower and more systematic (let’s call this an algorithmic approach); some people rely on intuition and emotionally informed processes, whilst others are more calculating or emotionally detached. One big difference in method of processing is doubt (a disposition towards rejection of information), compared to belief (a disposition towards acceptance of information). Opposite extremes of this spectrum could be considered cynicism and gullibility. It is this information processing that actually determines what (we think) we know. Such knowledge exists in our brain conceptually – supported only by the information and processes that we used to construct it. Of course between the errors in determining cause and effect, the errors of communication, the errors of misinformation and the errors arising from our imperfect ability to process information, we end up with a knowledge product that is likely to be incomplete, inaccurate or just plain incorrect. This is where science comes in. Science is a method that is used to test what we think we know. It is intended to provide a structured approach to critically assess knowledge, where ideas and assumptions arising from the processing of what we’re told and what we’ve experienced are compared against the material world (see links at top for more detail). Importantly, science can be applied by people with any kind of thought processing – as long as they stick to the procedure. If people don’t stick to the procedure it ceases to be science, which means that the outcomes cannot be treated with the same degree of confidence. Science is not the only way to test knowledge, but it is the most thorough and powerful method at our disposal. Science cannot claim to offer truth, because the iterative nature of science means that it must always be open to questioning. Science is not values-based and although ethical considerations are imposed on the practice of the scientific method, they are not part of it. Science is atheistic, because it functions without recourse to belief in gods, but it is not antitheistic since it can only deal with the natural: the supernatural is beyond the scope of the scientific method. Science is not about the interpretations or conclusions drawn by scientists, it is about experimental results demonstrating that a testable idea has a foundation in observable fact, or not. Therefore, when people start suggesting that science is somehow against their opinion, what they are actually saying is that the best available observations of fact are against their opinion. This is something that is common in people who are making claims for which there is only evidence in the form of anecdote or received cultural knowledge (or both). The reason that science is against their opinion is that their opinion is not supported by evidence stripped of its errors and co-factors. When people accuse science of being closed-minded it tends to be because science doesn’t support their opinion and they would rather cling onto their unsupported opinion than change it to fit the evidence. The scientific method could not (and certainly should not) care less about opinions or preconceived doctrine or dogma; indeed the dogmatic adherence to a set of opinions is the antithesis of science and is an indicator of ideological stagnation. Science is only useful as a tool when applied by people who are willing to change their mind to suit the evidence. For some reason this flexibility is seen by many as a weakness, but in the words of John Maynard Keynes, “When the facts change, I change my mind. What do you do, sir?” – after all, surely it’s better for future knowledge if we build on facts, rather than go into denial about our mistakes? After all, we learn from our mistakes and the alternative is building knowledge on an unstable foundation of misinformation and lies. That said, science is not perfect. There is always room for improvement and scientists are just people, some of whom are ambitious, inept, dishonest or greedy. However, the scientific community is founded on robust confrontation, suspicion and scepticism about other scientists and ideas. This means that the outcomes of the scientific method tend to be pretty well assessed (links to pdf) before they ever see public light (unless the journal publishers flout the process or the scientists involved are trying to sneak past the peer-review process by going straight to the public press) or at least they tend to be found out if they’ve been faked (that’s what reproducability of results is all about). Bear in mind that other methods of testing knowledge don’t have any controls at all – so although science is far from perfect, it’s far better than methods of enquiry that have no internal critical review process. In short, science helps us to identify what we actually know from what we think we know.
Dawn Journal | November 26, 2008 The Dawn spacecraft is healthy and on course for its flyby of Mars early next year. The planet’s gravity will help boost the probe on its way to rendezvous with Vesta. While the spacecraft has its sights set on the asteroid belt (via Mars), its path is now bringing it closer to Earth. Meanwhile, from Earth’s perspective, Dawn appears to be approaching a blindingly close encounter with the Sun. With so much happening in the solar system, all readers, whether local or not, are invited to turn their attention here. In the last log, we saw that Dawn was nearing the end of an extended period of thrusting with is ion propulsion system that began on December 17, 2007. When it left Earth on September 27, 2007, the Delta II rocket deposited the spacecraft into a carefully chosen orbit around the Sun. By October 31, 2008, the spacecraft had completed the thrusting it needed to change that orbit so it would encounter Mars at just the right time, location, and angle to sling it on its way to Vesta. During this interplanetary cruise phase, Dawn thrust for 270 days, or 85% of the time. Expending less than 72 kilograms (158 pounds) of xenon propellant, the spacecraft changed its speed by about 1.81 kilometers per second (4050 miles per hour). Although controlling an interplanetary probe across hundreds of millions of kilometers (or miles) of deep space and guiding it accurately enough to reach its remote destination seems as if it should be a very simple task, readers may be surprised to know that it is not. Let’s consider just one aspect of the problem. Suppose you want to shoot an arrow at a target. Unlike typical archers, you are so far from the target that you can only barely see it. In that case, aiming for the bull's-eye is essentially out of the question. Adding to the problem may be a variable breeze that could nudge the arrow off course. Shooting sufficiently accurately to get the arrow even to the vicinity of the target would be challenging enough; hitting the precise point you want on the target is just too difficult. For readers who are principally interested in archery, this concludes our in-depth analysis of the sport. Now let’s consider how to change the situation to make it more similar to an interplanetary mission. If the arrow had a tiny radio locator mounted on it, you would be able monitor its progress as it flew closer to the target. This would be like watching it on a radar screen. You might see your arrow miss the target entirely or, if you had made a particularly good shot, hit somewhere on it. Now if you could occasionally send a signal to the arrow, perhaps to change the angles of the feathers, you might not be able to alter its course drastically, but you could change it a little. So if your initial shot had been good enough, you could guide the arrow to the desired destination. (To buy your radio controlled archery set, visit the Dawn gift shop on your planet. The set may be found between the display case with xenon ion beam jewelry and the shelves and shelves and shelves and shelves of really cool new Dawn Journal reader action figures -- be sure to buy the one that looks just like you!) Shooting the arrow is akin to launching a spacecraft, and its flight to the target represents the interplanetary journey, although operating a spacecraft involves far greater precision (and fun!). Our knowledge of where the spacecraft is and where it is heading is amazingly, fantastically, incredibly accurate, but it is not perfect. This point is essential. Keeping most spacecraft on course is a matter of frequently recalculating the position, speed, and direction of travel and then occasionally fine-tuning the trajectory through burns of the propulsion system. Dawn’s near-constant use of its advanced ion propulsion system for most of 2008 changes the story, but only a little. The thrust plan was calculated before launch and then updated once our arrow was free of the bow. Throughout the interplanetary cruise phase, a new thrust plan was transmitted to the spacecraft about every 5 weeks, each time with slight updates to account for the latest calculations of Dawn’s orbit around the Sun. With this method, the small adjustments to the trajectory have been incorporated into the large, preplanned changes. The mission control team requires about 5 weeks to design, develop, check, double-check, transmit, and activate a 5-week set of commands. By the time the spacecraft is executing the final part of those instructions, it is following a flight plan that is based on information from 10 weeks earlier. During most of the mission, when there are months or even years of thrusting ahead of it, subsequent opportunities to adjust the trajectory are plentiful. In contrast, for the last period of preplanned thrusting before Mars, controllers modified their normal process for formulating the commands, making a fast update for the final few days of thrusting. By including the latest navigational data in the computations for the direction and duration of the concluding segment of powered flight, the mission control team put Dawn on a more accurate course for Mars than it otherwise would have been. Even with this strategy, navigators recognized long ago that subsequent adjustments would be required. The plan for approaching Mars has always included windows for trajectory correction maneuvers (which engineers are physiologically incapable of calling anything other than TCMs). Dawn’s first TCM occurred on November 20. As navigators refined their trajectory calculations after thrusting finished on October 31, they determined that the spacecraft was quite close to the aim point they wanted, but still not exactly on target. In fact, rather than being on a course to sail a few hundred kilometers above Mars, the probe’s path would have taken it to the surface of the planet. Despite the power of the ion propulsion system, Dawn does not have the capability to bore through the rocky planet and continue on its way to Vesta. Such a situation is not surprising. Suppose in the archery, the bull’s-eye were 30 centimeters (1 foot) in diameter, but we preferred to hit a point 2.2 centimeters (7/8 inch) outside the bull’s-eye, near the 11:00 position (corresponding to where we want Dawn to fly past Mars). As our arrow approached the target, it might turn out that it was going to miss the target entirely, it might be headed for some other point on the target, and it just might be that it was headed for the bull’s-eye itself. Dawn’s case was this last one, so TCM1 put it on track for the destination we desired. Amazing sports analogies for the fantastic accuracy of interplanetary navigation usually fail to account for TCMs, as most arrows, balls, and other projectiles do not include active control after they are on their way. Your correspondent has presented his own simile for the astonishing accuracy with which a spacecraft can reach a faraway destination, but most such analogies neglect TCMs, without which deep-space missions could not be accomplished. (Note that the accuracy is impressive with or without TCMs. We shall extend our archery example in a future log, making it more quantitative. It will be important, however, to keep in mind that the ion propulsion system provides so much maneuvering flexibility that Dawn does not need to achieve the degree of accuracy in its gravity assist that a mission using conventional chemical propulsion might.) For reasons we will not divulge, Dawn’s first TCM has been designated TCM1. On November 20, just as it had for all of its previous thrusting, the spacecraft pointed a thruster (TCM1 used thruster #1) in the required direction and resumed emitting the familiar blue-green beam of xenon ions to alter course. While typical thrusting during the mission has lasted for almost 7 days at a time (followed by a hiatus of 7 to 8 hours), in this case only a short burn was necessary. Propelling itself from about 4:31 pm to 6:42 pm PST was just enough to fine-tune its course and change its speed by a bit more than 60 centimeters per second (1.3 miles per hour). This adjustment was modest indeed, as at that time Dawn was traveling around the Sun at more than 22.5 kilometers per second (50,400 miles per hour). Dawn and Mars, following their separate orbits that will (almost!) intersect on February 17, 2009, were moving relative to each other at 3.17 kilometers per second (7100 miles per hour). Dawn’s second TCM window (inexplicably named TCM2) is in January. Traveling two-thirds of the way from here to Mars, the navigational accuracy then will be still better, with smaller deviations from the planned target point being detectable, so another refinement in the trajectory then is likely. In the meantime, Dawn will follow its orbital path with its ion thrusters idle. As Dawn travels through space on its own, its path has been essentially independent of Earth’s. We saw in a previous log that the weaker grasp exerted by the Sun at Dawn’s greater distance means that it travels more slowly around the solar system. While Earth has completed more than 1 full revolution (each revolution requiring 1 year) since launch, Dawn has not yet rounded the Sun once. After receding from the Sun until early August, the spacecraft began falling back, albeit only temporarily. The probe attained its maximum distance from Earth on November 10. (For anyone who was on Earth on that date and plans to use this information in an alibi, it may be helpful to know that the greatest range was reached at about 3:07 am PST.) The spacecraft was more than 384 million kilometers (239 million miles) from its one-time home. Although it will make substantial progress on its journey in the meantime, Dawn’s distance to Earth will continue to decrease until January 2010, when it will be less than one-third of what it is today. In the summer of that year, however, as Earth maintains its repetitive annual orbital motion and the explorer climbs away from the Sun, it will surpass this month’s distance to Earth. (Readers are encouraged to memorize the contents of this log for reference in 2010 in case we fail to include a link to this paragraph.) The complex choreography of the solar system’s grand orbital dance rarely calls for a circular orbit; rather, the dancers follow ellipses (ovals in which the ends are of equal size) around the Sun. Thanks to the details of the shapes of their orbits, the greatest separation between Earth and Dawn did not occur when they were precisely on opposite sides of the Sun, although the alignment was close to that. On December 12, their dance steps will take them to points almost exactly on opposite sides of the Sun. For observers on Earth, this is known as solar conjunction, because the spacecraft and the Sun will appear to be in the same location. (Similarly, from Dawn’s point of view, Earth and the Sun will be almost coincident.) In reality, of course, Dawn will be much farther away than Earth’s star. It will be 147 million kilometers (91.5 million miles) from Earth to the Sun but 379 million kilometers (236 million miles) from the planet to its cosmic envoy. Its apparent proximity to the Sun presents a helpful opportunity for terrestrial readers to locate Dawn in the sky. On December 9 - 15, the spacecraft will be less than 1 degree from the Sun, progressing from east to west and passing just 1/3 degree south of that brilliant celestial landmark on December 12. (As Dawn does not orbit in the same plane as Earth, it will not pass directly behind the Sun.) The Sun itself is 1/2 degree across, so this is close indeed; the spacecraft will sneak in to less than 1 solar diameter from the disk. To demonstrate how small the separation is, if you blocked the Sun with your thumb at arm’s length during this week around conjunction (and you are exhorted to do so), you also would cover Dawn. For those interested observers who lack the requisite superhuman visual acuity to discern the remote spacecraft amidst the dazzling light of the Sun, conjunction still may provide a convenient occasion to reflect upon this most recent of humankind’s missions far into the solar system. This small probe is the product of creatures fortunate enough to be able to combine their powerful curiosity about the workings of the cosmos with their impressive abilities to explore, investigate, and ultimately understand. While its builders remain in the vicinity of the planet upon which they evolved, their robotic ambassador now is passing on the far side of the extraordinarily distant Sun. This is the same Sun that has been the unchallenged master of our solar system for 4.5 billion years. This is the same Sun that has shone down on Earth throughout that time and has been the ultimate source of so much of the heat, light, and other energy upon which the planet’s inhabitants have been so dependent. This is the same Sun that has so influenced human expression in art, literature, and religion for uncounted millennia. This is the same Sun that has motivated scientific studies for centuries. This is the same Sun that acts as our signpost in the Milky Way galaxy. This is the same Sun that is more than 100 times the diameter of Earth and a third of a million times the planet¹s mass. And humans have a spacecraft on the far side of it. We may be humbled by our own insignificance in the universe, yet we still undertake the most valiant adventures in our attempts to comprehend its majesty. Solar conjunction means even more to Dawn mission controllers than the opportunity to meditate upon what magnificent feats our species can achieve. As Earth, the Sun, and the spacecraft come closer into alignment, radio signals that go back and forth must pass near the Sun. The solar environment is fierce indeed, and it causes interference in those radio waves. While some signals will get through, communications will be less reliable. Therefore, controllers plan to send no messages to the spacecraft from December 5 through December 18; all instructions needed during that time will be stored onboard beforehand. Deep Space Network antennas, pointing near the Sun, will listen through the roaring noise for the faint whisper of the spacecraft, but the team will consider any signals to be a bonus. There is plenty of other work to do while waiting to resume communications after conjunction. In addition to preparing for the visit to Mars, engineers will continue to interpret the results of election day. On November 4, the Dawn team voted unanimously for more power. They commanded the spacecraft to execute a set of steps to yield data that will reveal the full potential of the enormous solar arrays to generate electrical power. The method was tested first on July 21, and then refined for a test on September 22. For this month’s measurement, the commands were identical to those used for the second test with one exception that had been planned from the beginning: the solar arrays were rotated to point 60 degrees away from the Sun instead of 45 degrees. The solar arrays are so powerful that when they are pointed directly at the Sun, the spacecraft could not draw enough power to measure their full capability. The data collected show the electrical behavior of the arrays as the ion propulsion system was commanded through its start-up, drawing more and more power. Unlike the two tests, this calibration was designed so that with the arrays pointed so far from the Sun, they would not be able to provide as much power as was requested. Engineers wanted to find the point at which the arrays would no longer be able to satisfy the demands. They were not disappointed; power climbed up and up until no more was available. The prospect of having a spacecraft not be able to meet its own power demands may seem risky, but the procedure was carefully designed, analyzed, and simulated, and it executed perfectly. When the ion propulsion system asked for more power than the arrays could deliver, in the language of the trade, the solar arrays “collapsed.” Now to some (including even some engineers unfamiliar with the terminology), this suggests something not entirely desirable, such as 2 bent and twisted wings, each with 5 warped panels, and 11,480 shattered solar cells, the fragments sparkling in the sunlight as they tumbled and floated away from the powerless probe. In this case though, “collapse” is an electrical, not a mechanical, phenomenon and hence would be somewhat less visually spectacular and quite reversible -- a key attribute for a mission with well over 6 years of space exploration ahead of it. Once all the data are analyzed, controllers will have a better prediction for how much power the arrays will be able to generate for the rest of the voyage. Dawn is 20 million kilometers (12 million miles) from Mars. It is 383 million kilometers (238 million miles) from Earth, or 950 times as far as the moon and 2.59 times as far as the Sun. Radio signals, traveling at the universal limit of the speed of light, take 43 minutes to make the round trip. Dr. Marc D.

As @SQLChicken states, a good data model is a very important start to have for stable, consistent, extensible and scalable databases. After you have a logical model, the next step is implementation of the logical model in the target RDBMS. There are many important considerations and actions that are required to do this. For example, depending on the anticipated size of your database, you may decide that certain structures should be de-normalized for performance reasons but this decision should be made carefully, with the implications fully considered. Other considerations: - If you haven't done so already, decide on a naming standard/convention. Name your objects in a consistent way. Take time to define each object such as tables and columns in the database by adding a comment to each. - Define your table primary keys, foreign keys, data constraints, and indexes. Indexes can be added later, so don't worry about getting them all up front. The need for them tends to become apparent over time ;-) - Define views of data that may be useful for reports, ad-hoc queries, etc. - Minimize trigger use - these can be expedient, but have many pitfalls. By no means is this list exhaustive. Become familiar with the (voluminous) Oracle documentation.
For the past couple of months I had the amazing opportunity to work with third graders at Davis Bilingual Elementary School. As someone who did not grow up speaking Spanish but instead spent years learning it as an adult, I have spent a lot of time thinking about language, translation, and the feelings evoked by words. I have discovered that being able to express myself in more than one language has enabled me to see the world differently not only because of the readings and conversations it has opened up, but also how the ways things are described can spark understanding in new ways. This love of and appreciation for the power of language was something I sought to explore in our time together. Based off of a lesson shared by Julia Alvarez in Luna, Luna, my teaching assistant and I brought in a poem by Nicolás Guillén, a Cuban poet, journalist, political activist, and writer. Below is an excerpt: Esta es el hambre. Un animal todo colmillo y ojo. Nadie lo engaña ni distrae. No se harta en una mesa. No se contenta con un almuerzo o una cena. Anuncia siempre sangre. Ruge como león, aprieta como boa, piensa como persona. This is hunger. An animal all fangs and eyes. It cannot be distracted or deceived. It is not satisfied with one meal. It is not content with a lunch or dinner. Always threatens blood. Roars like a lion, squeezes like a boa, thinks like a person. We read the original and translation of the poem and then spent time discussing it. What does hunger look like? How does it act? How does it sound? Is it nice? We then brainstormed a list of feelings such as happiness, anger, jealousy, doubt, and sadness and each chose one to describe in detail as either an animal or person. The students agreed that simply stating an emotion didn’t help the reader to feel it in their body, and thus eagerly dove into exploring and describing their chosen feeling. Below are some poems that were created that day. Anger. A lion with red Skin and fangs. Walks slowly Making sure nobody scares him. Hair standing up and eyes dark And cold. Fire coming out Of its head. Has a low growl. Roars loudly. Stomps Loudly thinks carefully. Acts like a snake Who’s going to bite and a Burro ready for anything. Es un animal con ojos verdes y Tiene una voz baja. Le gusta hacer ejercicio y Se ve azul. Se siente estresado. ¡Su pelo esta largo! ¡Ay! ¡Que largo! Siempre quiere jugar y no le gusta estar Ignorado ni le gusta que alguien Sea malo con otros. This is sadness. A person Who always has tears. He can’t be happy or Calm. He’s not like others. He gets sadder Near happiness. He’s as blue as water and sad Like you’ve never seen. He sounds like La Llorona. Sadness made lots of people Sad. Almost all of his town is sad. Please don’t be happy near him. Happiness sometimes you Don’t know if you are Happy or sad. But happiness Thinks like a thousand Dolls of giggles trying to Get out of your stomach And it does. But instead of Giggling you smile or you Can giggle too. Brook Bernini is a teacher and organizer guided by a commitment to working for social justice.

The plots in this Demonstration show precision error. The formula is true for all real . To plot for various , Mathematica correctly finds numerical values very close to 0. In the plot, these infinitesimal deviations are magnified a quadrillion-fold. Various types of machine error—round-off, precision, accumulated—have led to the loss of lives and fortunes. For example, the Patriot missile system relies on a .1 second internal clock. The binary machine considers this as a 209715/2097152 second clock. In a 1991 incident during Operation Desert Storm, after being on for 100 hours, the missile tracking timing had accumulated a .34 second error. This rendered it unable to track an incoming missile, which subsequently fell intact on a barracks and killed 28 people.
Science that threatens a person's 'world view'; can backfire: researcherAugust 21, 2012 in Other Sciences / Social Sciences Using evidence to back up' science can actually have the reverse psychological effect on some people, according to a researcher at The University of Queensland. UQ Global Change Institute research fellow John Cook said reporting evidence that is perceived to threaten a person's view of the world can actually backfire. People derive a large part of their sense of identity from their world view, how they see the world. So they react defensively to any information that threatens their world view, he said. What's fascinating, is that new, contradictory evidence can actually cause people to feel stronger in their initial beliefs. Mr Cook, the mastermind behind the successful Skeptical Science website, is developing a psychological model that simulates how people react to evidence that threatens their world view. One of the features of the model is that distrust of science is a key factor in the so-called backfire effect. If you distrust the science that threatens your world view, then more scientific evidence will make you react with suspicion, causing you to double down on your beliefs, Mr Cook said. Mr Cook hopes the model will shed light on how people process information and give way to better, more effective approaches in science communication. If distrust in science is a key element to denial, maybe we're better off targeting trust in the science - by explaining the peer-reviewed process and the checks and balances in the scientific method, he said. Mr Cook's model, however, predicts that this approach will have minimal impact at the extreme end of the ideological scale. When people have extreme views, you can't pull trust one way and world view the other. By and large, world view wins, he said. A better tack is to attempt to reduce the biasing influence of the world view, by showing that science doesn't threaten it. According to Mr Cook's model, this works better when delivered by someone that shares the values of the recipient.

An archaeological dig is to take place to uncover a model of a World War I battlefield in Staffordshire which was built as a training aid for soldiers. The mock up of the village and surrounding area of Messines in Belgium was built in Brocton on Cannock Chase. It was also maintained as a memorial to soldiers who died in the Battle of Messines Ridge in June 1917. Staffordshire County Council said after WWI it became a tourist attraction before becoming deserted and overgrown. The model was built by German prisoners of war, supervised by troops from the New Zealand Rifle Brigade, on their return from Messines in 1917. It was used as a training ground in the build-up to the much larger battle of Passchendaele which began in July of that year. It included replica trenches and dugouts, railway lines, roads, and accurate contours of the surrounding terrain. Staffordshire County Council said it would dig up the site this week and use a laser-scanning device to make a 3D computer model. The site will be covered over again in October. Council leader Philip Atkins said: “Due to the location, scale and fragile nature of the model it is impossible for it to be moved or left uncovered. “For a brief moment in time we all be able to share with the nation, memories of a piece of Staffordshire which helped change the course of history.” The project is being funded by Natural England.

Transport of indigenous bacteria through sandy aquifer sediments was investigated in forced- and natural-gradient tracer teste. A diverse population of bacteria was collected and concentrated from groundwater at the site, stained with a DNA-specific fluorochrome, and injected back into the aquifer. Included with the injectate were a conservative tracer (Br- or Cl-) and bacteria-sized (0.2-1.3-??m) microspheres having carboxylated, carbonyl, or neutral surfaces. Transport of stained bacteria and all types and size classes of microspheres was evident. In the natural-gradient test, both surface characteristics and size of microspheres affected attenuation. Surface characteristics had the greatest effect upon retardation. Peak break-through of DAPI-stained bacteria (forced-gradient experiment) occurred well in advance of bromide at the more distal sampler. Transport behavior of bacteria was substantially different from that of carboxylated microspheres of comparable size. ?? 1988 American Chemical Society.

Have you noticed that there are some SFP modules with colorful markings on the market? For SFP, we are not unfamiliar. SFP (Small Form-Factor Pluggable) is a compact, hot-pluggable transceiver used for both telecommunication and data communication applications. But do you know why they are designed with different colors? These colorful SFP modules are called WDM (Wavelength Division Multiplexing) SFPs. WDM is a technology which combines two or more kinds of optical signals at different wavelengths and transmits them on a single optical fiber. By using WDM technology, SFP module can transmit signals at different wavelengths, which are identified by different colors. WDM SFPs can be divided into two basic types. One is CWDM (Coarse Wavelength Division Multiplexing) SFP, and the other one is DWDM (Dense Wavelength Division Multiplexing) SFP. The following passage is mainly about CWDM SFP. Overview of CWDM SFP CWDM SFP is a kind of optical transceiver which uses CWDM technology. Similar with traditional SFP module, CWDM SFP is also a hot-pluggable transceiver that interfaces a network device port (of a switch, router, media converter or similar device) to a fiber optic networking cable. Generally speaking, CWDM SFP modules come in 8 wavelengths that range from 1470 nm to 1610 nm. Through the color markings on the devices, it is easy to identify the wavelength to which the Gigabit Ethernet channel is mapped. That is why SFP modules are designed with different colors. The following table lists the CWDM SFP modules with their wavelengths and color codes. In addition, CWDM SFP is a compatible transceiver which provides data rates from 100 Mbps up to 4 Gbps, and reach a transmission distance at 20 to 40km, 40 to 80km and 80 to 120km. CWDM SFP modules also feature digital diagnostics, also known as digital optical monitoring (DOM), which is supported by the majority of switch and router OEMs in their operating system software. CWDM SFP is a MSA standard build and it is designed for operations in Metro Access Rings and Point-to-Point networks using Synchronous Optical Network (SONET), SDH (Synchronous Digital Hierarchy), Gigabit Ethernet and Fiber Channel networking equipment. For it is low in cost, CWDM SFP can be regarded as a convenient and cost-effective solution for the adoption of Gigabit Ethernet and Fibre Channel (FC) in campus, data-center, and metropolitan-area access networks. Comparison With DWDM SFP DWDM (Dense Wavelength-Division Multiplexing) SFP transceivers are used as part of a DWDM optical network to provide high-capacity bandwidth across an optical fiber network, which is a high performance, cost effective module for serial optical data communication applications up to 4.25Gb/s. From a low cost point of view, CWDM SFP module is inexpensive than DWDM SFP. For other aspects, the key in selecting CWDM or DWDM SFP lies in the difference between CWDM and DWDM. They refer to different methods of splitting up the light. For example, CWDM uses broader spacing between channels, allowing for inexpensive SFPs, while DWDM uses denser channel spacing, which allows for more wavelengths to be used on a single fiber. DWDM is typically used in large optical networks over longer distance. Therefore, DWDM SFP module is the ideal choice for SFP modules over long distance and with better scalability. Data communication and fiber optical network develop rapidly. During the process, some problems occur which push forward the improvement of the products. SFP modules, essentially just completed the converted of data between different media, can realize the connection between two switches or computers within a long distance. CWDM technology is an effective way to meet the rapidly increasing demand of bandwidth in transmission network, and it can provide a cost-effective solution for high capacity in metropolitan area network and local area network. As a functional and economical optical communication product, CWDM SFP, combined with the advantages of them, becomes more and more popular with users and applied to various fields.
is a chronic respiratory condition most often caused by the destruction of lung tissue by toxins contained in cigarette smoke. This, in turn, leads to chronic overinflation of the lungs, greatly decreasing their ability to function. chronic bronchitis, emphysema is a chronic obstructive pulmonary disease that evolves over a period of time. Emphysema results in destruction of the alveoli, the tiny air sacs in the lungs. Oxygen is delivered to the lungs and carbon dioxide is carried from the lungs across the walls of the alveoli. As more and more alveoli are damaged, it becomes harder and harder for the lungs to function, which can cause these symptoms: Shortness of breath Increasing difficulty exercising Great difficulty exhaling Cough with mucus production As the disease progresses, breathing becomes increasingly difficult. In its most severe stage, virtually any physical activity becomes extremely difficult, if not impossible. When a person complains of the chronic presence of the symptoms of emphysema, a physical exam and various lung function tests (spirometry) are done to confirm the diagnosis. may also be done. Since, at present, emphysema cannot be cured, the goals of treatment are to: To slow emphysema's progression, the agent causing it must be removed. Since long-term smoking causes an overwhelming number of cases of emphysema, the only effective way to slow the progression of emphysema is to There are many smoking cessation therapies available.

In 1981, HIV was infecting and killing tens of thousands of people. By 1985, scientists were able to develop and commercialize a blood test that did two things: it determined if someone had been infected with HIV, and it assessed how much damage HIV had done to the immune system. This test helped identify a medicine that blocked one route that HIV used to take over the immune system. Within two short years, under pressure from HIV patients and advocates, new drugs were developed and approved by the FDA that radically improved outcomes. Between 1995 and 1998, four new HIV medicines were introduced to block other HIV pathways. These medicines were combined to create an anti-HIV 'cocktail' for each individual. By 1998, deaths from HIV dropped by 90 percent and 15 new drugs followed. The good news is that in the United States today, HIV is a treatable disease, not a death sentence. How can we achieve the same sense of urgency to speed up the development of new cancer treatments? We need a little bit of more information to send occasional email updates about The Value of Medical Innovation.
“Eat Local” has become the mantra of a new generation of food activists. Implicit in the locavore agenda is the belief that it combines healthy eating and a high standard of environmental stewardship while delivering important economic benefits and increasing food security within local economies. In a newly published book titled The Locavore’s Dilemma, geographer Pierre Desrochers and his wife, Hiroko Shimizu, offer the first book to seriously question the locavore perspective. Desrochers concludes that “eating local” would only deliver increased social and economic misery, environmental degradation, greater food insecurity, and poorer nutrition. Gary Blumenthal, president of World Perspectives, Inc., a firm specializing in international agricultural commodities marketing, and supply, will provide a critical discussion of Desrochers and Shimizu’s challenging assessment of the environmental costs of “eating local.”
"The region is looking ahead to the completion of the Central American Electrical Interconnection System (SIEPAC)", which involves putting up 1,800 kilometres of 230-kilovolt transmission lines from Guatemala in the north to Panama in the south, he said. The SIEPAC project, which has a planned interchange capacity of 300 megawatts, three times the present capacity, and a projected cost of 500 million dollars, is due to come onstream for commercial operation later this year. In recent weeks, the pockets of Central American consumers have been hurt by constant increases in fuel prices. Gasoline, for instance, has climbed to nearly five dollars a gallon (3.8 litres), and diesel fuel is four dollars a gallon, with the usual knock-on effect on the basic basket of goods, an index of the cost of living. This scenario has made renewable energies more attractive in the region because of their low environmental impact and lower consumer prices, in contrast with the volatile prices of fossil fuels and the high levels of pollution they cause. Costa Rica, for example, is building the largest hydroelectric dam in the country on the Reventazón river, close to the town of Siquirres on the Atlantic coast. It will be capable of generating 306.5 megawatts, and will cost $1.2bn. In Honduras the British power company Globeleq, together with Mesoamerica Energy, a Central American firm, are working on a 250 million dollar wind farm in Cerro de Hula with wind turbines from Gamesa, 24 kilometres south of Tegucigalpa, with a capacity of 102 megawatts. According to Roberto Leiva, of the Honduras Business Council for Sustainable Development (BCSD-Honduras), several hydroelectric plants are under construction or in process of being approved in Honduras. A wind farm is also being built, and plans for at least two geothermal facilities are being studied. Panama, Nicaragua, El Salvador and Guatemala have also embarked on new projects for solar power, wind energy, geothermal energy and hydroelectric power that will change their energy mix, at present based mainly on oil. Central America could develop renewable energy sources with a potential capacity of more than 31,000 megawatts, comprising 60 per cent hydroelectric power, 30 per cent wind power and the remaining 10 per cent geothermal energy, BUN-CA studies say. However, the region is still "highly dependent on imported fossil fuels, which provide 80 per cent of total energy consumption," Blanco said. Costa Rica is the exception in the region. Over 80 per cent of its energy mix is derived from renewable sources, according to the state Costa Rican Institute of Electricity (ICE). But Dinora Sandino of the Nicaraguan Association for Renewable Energy and the Environment told said that, because of high oil prices, "we have seen a marked trend over the last decade towards substitution of fossil fuels with renewable energy sources." In 2008, clean energies represented 36 per cent of installed capacity within the country’s energy mix, and the aim is for them to grow to 90 per cent by 2016, according to the government of left-wing president Daniel Ortega. To meet this goal, the plan is to generate 600 megawatts, mainly from a geothermal project at San Jacinto-Tizate, in northwestern Nicaragua, and hydroelectric developments at Tumarín, in the eastern province of Atlántico Sur, and Larreynaga and HidroPantasma, in the northern province of Jinotega, according to the Nicaraguan Ministry of Energy and Mines. "The entry into force of the Electrical Industry Law in 1998 was an incentive for the private sector to participate in the generation of renewable energy and increased state participation in carrying out hydroelectric and geothermal projects," Sandino said. El Salvador is not lagging far behind. "The rising price of oil has had a major influence on the development of clean energies, but so has concern for the environment," said Luis Miguel Vázquez of the Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA). Last year, JICA-El Salvador began drawing up a master plan to develop renewable energies in the country over the next 15 years, including solar photovoltaic technology, concentrated solar thermal power, wind energy, geothermal energy and hydroelectric power and biomass. At present, El Salvador depends on fossil fuels for 80 per cent of its energy. "This illustrates the pressing need for renewable energies, which at first glance might seem more expensive, but in the long run are affordable and environmentally friendly," Vázquez said. Oswaldo García, with the Guatemalan Ministry of Energy and Mines, said that "the trend is to use more renewable energy" due to the high prices of crude, but also because of disasters like the Fukushima nuclear power plant in Japan, caused by the Mar. 11 earthquake and tsunami. "There is a great deal of international pressure to use environmentally friendly sources of energy, in order to avoid accelerating climate change," he said. Guatemala is aiming for an energy mix in 2022 made up of 58 per cent hydroelectric power, 37 per cent thermoelectric power produced by stations fuelled by coal, natural gas and biomass, 4 per cent geothermal energy and only the remaining 0.6 per cent based on oil. This will require heavy investments, since statistics for 2008 indicated that oil generated 46 per cent of the country’s energy consumption. César Barrios of FUNDAECO, a foundation for eco-development and conservation, thinks renewable energy is a good option in view of the high price of oil and the problem of pollution. "The difficulty is that companies do not make an effort to empower the local communities in the vicinity of their installations. They should educate local people so that they can participate in the management of the projects, and generate real development in the communities," he said.

How Does Health Information Exchange Affect Patient Care? It enables hospitals, doctors, nurses, pharmacists, pharmacies, as well as other health care providers to access and securely share patient vital medical information electronically, ensuring a faster, more cost-effective delivery of healthcare services. In addition to improving quality of care and increasing efficiency, HIE can promote public health surveillance, facilitate quality-of-care measurement, as well as make it easier for organizations to identify contagious illnesses. What Is Health Information Exchange And How Can It Benefit Patient Care? The Electronic Health Information Exchange (HEIN) facilitates the sharing of ermation providers and patients to appropriately access and securely share a patient’s vital medical information electronically—improving the speed, quality, safety and cost of patient care. How Does Emr Affect Patient Care? Improved medication management, reduced medication error rates, reducing unnecessary investigations, improved communication and interactions among medical providers, patients, and healthcare providers are some of the benefits of electronic medical records. How Does Health Information Exchange Improve Patient Safety? In addition to improved patient safety, health information exchanges (HIE) may also bring greater efficiency and productivity. When the right information is available at the right time, as many as 70% of adverse drug events would possibly be eliminated as well as as around 18% of patient safety errors. How Does The Hie Help Improve The Quality Of Patient Care? Hospitalized patients are more empowered to directly interact with their healthcare providers using HIE, and duplicate tests are reduced. Medication errors are avoided, and decision-making is facilitated. What Are Challenges Related To Hie? HIE use poses a number of common challenges. It has always been a key focus of health care providers for ensuring data privacy and security across a full data exchange process. Consumers cited the problem of sharing their digital health information beyond their doctors’ offices. What Is The Importance Of Hie? Can you tell me what Health Information Exchange (HIE) is HIE and Why Is It Important? A Health Information Exchange allows healthcare providers to access, edit, and transmit patient medical record data. Their importance is critical due to the fact that so many documents are on paper in filing cabinets. Why Are Health Information Exchanges Needed What Are The Benefits? By sharing patient medical records securely and electronically, health information exchanges make medical records easier to access. It’s critically important because paper medical records are among the most valuable belongings. How Does Health Information Improve Patient Care? Patients are better cared for by health care providers who are able to provide complete and accurate information. There can be gains to diagnose diseases, which is better for patient outcomes, and decreased – even prevented – medical errors. How Emr May Reduce The Cost Of Patient Care? An EHR can reduce the amount of paperwork that providers have to process. It is common for health care costs to be split between administrative tasks, such as filling out forms and dealing with billing requests. Electronic health records can increase practice efficiency and reduce expenses by streamlining these tasks. What Is The Role Of An Emr In The Health Care System? An electronic medical record (EMR) displays medical diagnoses in one office while providing the clinician and patients’ medical histories. There’s no conflict between EMRs and paper records in the clinic. Make it easy for doctors to identify the patients with which they are in need of preventive checks and examinations. Does Health Information Exchange Improve Patient Outcomes? Providing timely and accurate clinical information makes a world of difference in health care. Enhance health care quality by reducing medication and medical errors can be done by allowing more health information to come together as Health information exchange (HIE). What Are 3 Advantages Associated With A Health Information Exchange? Report publicly and monitor the health of health care consumers; engage them about health care information; provide better healthcare outcomes and patient satisfaction, by reducing healthcare costs.

November Community Game Changer MSU Denver’s April Hill makes science accessible to blind students By Greg Henry April Hill has been a faculty member at Metropolitan State University of Denver for just three years, but she’s already made a lasting impact. Hill, an assistant professor of chemistry and director of forensic science, brought to the University a passion to help visually impaired students gain hands-on knowledge of science and to improve access to Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) education. While doing post-doctoral work at Pennsylvania State University, she met Cary Supalo, a graduate student at the time, who was developing tools to give blind students a richer experience in the chemistry lab. “Dr. Supalo was the first blind scientist I’d met, and I had honestly never had a reason to wonder how a blind person might complete a chemistry lab experiment,” says Hill, 33. “As someone who was planning to go into education, I realized that I could very well have a blind student in a course one day and it would be my responsibility to teach him or her science, including the important aspect of experimentation.” A curriculum Hill helped create drew skepticism from sighted students. “The immediate dismissal of a blind student’s ability — not to mention their right — to an education in science is frustrating for me,” Hill says. “And I can only imagine how hearing [skepticism] might affect a young person with a visual impairment who has an interest in science.” She and Supalo ran several hands-on workshops and summer science camps, largely through collaboration with the National Federation of the Blind. Since joining MSU Denver in 2010, she has put on chemistry workshops for students who attend the Colorado Center for the Blind in Littleton. The use of adaptive technology helps even the playing field for visually impaired students. Vernier Software and Technology has worked closely with Independence Science (based at Purdue University in West Lafayette, Ind., and founded by Supalo) to develop the Talking LabQuest. Through Talking LabQuest students access tools like text-to-speech software and probes for measuring pH, temperature, conductivity, etc. “There are a lot of schools for the visually impaired that do a good job of providing hands-on science experiments for their students, but they are limited by a lack of technology,” Hill says. “There is also a perception that allowing a blind student to handle chemicals is unsafe. This has led to the common practice in public high schools of simply pairing a blind student with a sighted partner who does all of the actual experimentation and simply provides a running commentary for the blind student. This is not an effective way to teach chemistry, and it is certainly not a good way to inspire a blind student to pursue chemistry as a career.” Thomas Vogt, an assistant professor of chemistry at MSU Denver, shares Hill’s passion and introduced her to the Colorado Center for the Blind and its science fairs in the spring and fall. “Using plastic baggies, the students mix chemicals that we provide to produce simple polymers which they can touch and handle after the reaction is completed.” Vogt says. “We have shown that blind students can do wet chemistry. It is exciting to see the excitement of the students.” Content provided By Metropolitan State University of Denver

Robert S. Pickart Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution Woods Hole, MA 02543-1541 Program Manager: John Calder NOAA Related NOAA Strategic Plan Goal: Goal 2. Understand climate variability and change to enhance society’s ability to plan and respond. In summer 2004 the Russian icebreaker Khromov carried out the inaugural cruise of the Russia-US Long-term Census of the Arctic (RUSALCA) program. RUSALCA resulted from the 2003 Memorandum of understanding for World Ocean and Polar Regions Studies between NOAA and the Russian Academy of Sciences. The three-leg expedition was a great success, during which US and Russian scientists carried out an array of multidisciplinary projects aimed at furthering our understanding of climate change in the Arctic. Leg 2 focused on the region from Bering Strait northward into the Chukchi Sea, and our part of the hydrographic component of this leg consisted of a detailed survey of the flow through Herald Canyon (Figure 1). This is the first time that the canyon, which lies in Russian territorial waters, has been sampled at high cross-stream resolution, enabling us to resolve fully the currents and water masses. The survey was done using a conductivity/temperature/depth (CTD) package with the addition of dissolved oxygen, turbidity, fluorescence, a lowered acoustic Doppler current profiler, and a video plankton recorder for measuring zooplankton and particle (marine snow) content in the water. Pacific water enters the Arctic through Bering Strait and is largely steered through the Chukchi Sea by the topography of the shelf. In particular, the two canyons on either side of the Chukchi Sea−Barrow canyon in the east and Herald canyon in the west−tend to concentrate the flow before it reaches the shelfbreak. Presently we know very little about the flow through Herald canyon, although this branch contains a significant amount of the transport of the Pacific water, and carries most of the nutrient load into the Arctic. The topography of the canyon is such that hydraulic control may be active, which in turn could influence the downstream entrainment of the flow as well as its ability to form eddies. These are the kind of things we need to know in order to determine the ultimate fate of the Pacific water when it reaches the open Arctic, and the associated implications for climate change. FISCAL YEAR 2004 PROGRESS The final processing, calibration, and de-spiking of the RUSALCA CTD data set were completed, and a data report was written and distributed to the PIs in the RUSALCA group. The processed data, station profile plots, and vertical section plots of the data were made available to the group on a website. The lowered ADCP velocity data are still being processed, and will soon be complete. The analysis of the CTD data are now underway. Figure 2 shows the vertical sections of potential temperature, turbidity, and fluorescence from the crossing at the head of Herald canyon. On the western side of the canyon one sees cold, dense winter water (magenta color) above the bottom, adjacent to warm summertime Bering water on the eastern side of the canyon. Presumably both of these water masses are flowing northward. The turbidity and fluorescence distributions show a strong plume emanating from the bottom beneath the summer water (near station 54) while the fluorescence shows a distinct plume surrounding the winter water. These features may arise in part due to the dynamics of the flow through the canyon−for instance bottom boundary layer detachment or convergence and downwelling of the jet. We will pursue these ideas in the coming months, and describe the overall adjustment of the Pacific water, including the ramifications for the chemistry and biology of this region.
This week, the University of Oklahoma Aeroecology Biologging group started a crowdfunding campaign for LunAero: an automated lunar bird tracking device. Since this is one of the projects I’m spearheading as part of my postdoctoral position in the lab of Dr. Eli Bridge, I’d like to walk through the current design here. Take a look at the crowdfunding page while you are thinking about it. LunAero is a robot designed to track the moon as it crosses the sky. This isn’t new. Lots of astronomy mounts can be programmed to follow a specific path of a celestial body across the sky. But LunAero doesn’t do it that way. By using a Raspberry Pi as a brain, LunAero tracks the moon by computer vision. This means that it “sees” the moon and tracks it in real time. By using visual tracking, we can compensate for things like wind and excitable dogs in our backyard (true story) knocking the scope off course. We are using OpenCV as a platform for LunAero. If you have ever worked with computer vision, you might say to yourself that this seems like overkill for tracking the moon, a body which follows a very well known and predictable path. There is a reason we do it this way. The end goal of LunAero is not to simply track the moon, but the goal is to identify birds crossing in front of the moon. If you are like me, you may not realize how many birds migrate at night. Since they stop chattering and chirping once the sun sets, it is easy to think they all just sleep. But this is not the case. Birds migrate at night to minimize predation on their massive trek. In a single night, LunAero recorded hundreds of birds crossing the full moon. It was amazing! If you do the math, the moon is a small percentage of the sky. Eventually, the massive scale of night migration will begin to dawn on you. The best method we have for quantifying this event is radar. Our modern weather radars work by detecting water in the air, telling us if that cloud over there is about to rain or not. If you think about it though, all organisms are just bags of water. Don’t think of birds as feathered, flying friends. Instead, think of them like a radar does: as little water balloons. Meteorologists often view our water balloon friends as a source of noise, a nuisance. But a new scientific discipline is emerging called Aeroecology which is very interested in the applications of technologies to study thins living in the air. Using radar isn’t perfect. There is no real baseline for the fast-moving water balloons the radar detects unless you send an ornithologist out to visually count the birds. Doing this at night is a challenge, since light conditions do not favor observation. So we need to use the silhouettes of birds flying in front of the moon to establish a reasonable estimate. Now I don’t know about you, but standing outside with my neck crooked and binoculars plastered to my face instead of sleeping does not sound like a fun time. Thus: LunAero. LunAero is controlled by a Raspberry Pi computer. This computer handles the image capture through a dedicated camera and scope adjustment with the GPIO pins. The GPIO pins communicate directions to a TB6612FNG board, which I have discussed in prior posts. The TB6612FNG provides pulses to 5V gearmotors. The gearmotors supply power to two large gears. The azimuthal axis (the one that spins like a top) rotates the gear that is supporting the rest of the structure. The altitudinal axis (the one that lifts and lowers) is a partial gear that moves a cradle. We don’t need the whole gear, since the moon will rarely pass directly overhead without deviation. The cradle is what holds our spotting scope. Since LunAero is meant to be employed by bird-nerds, we designed it to accommodate a spotting scope for the optics. It is a reasonable assessment that a serious birder will probably have access to a spotting scope. This is good, because optics are expensive. A ‘low-cost’ spotting scope can be had for $500, while the one I am using at the moment to capture moon footage is ~$3000. The challenge then becomes, how do we attach a standardized camera? Since all of the eyepieces of scopes are a little different, we had to design a custom adapter for the Raspberry Pi camera which would allow for adjustment in all 3 spatial dimensions. In the end, our adapter looks like a complicated monstrosity, but it works very well. We have a design update planned for it, so I am sure I will discuss more about it later.
Broadly, assets can be defined as possessions that carry value. These include cash and various types of investments. Real estate, stocks, and bonds are common types of investments included. Typically, any tangible or intangible possession that can be owned and can be traded for money is counted as an asset. They are commonly important for account reporting in business. A description and valuation of all assets must be presented to the government for tax purposes. In accounting terms, assets include the sum of all liabilities, such as debt with all equities. Equities include all cash and investments owned by the proprietor. The declaration of assets makes up the whole of a company's balance sheet. This can include extensive lists detailing each liability and equity that discloses total assets owned by the company. Assets can be either tangible or intangible. Tangible assets are physical objects that carry intrinsic value such as cash or land. Intangible assets generally reflect intellectual property such as patents and copyrights.
Today’s post comes from Gregory Marose, an intern in the National Archives Office of Strategy and Communications. Americans often associate the month of August with family vacations and the summer heat, but that was not the case in 1961. Fifty years ago this month, a Cold War chill filled the air as construction began on the Berlin Wall. After the end of World War II, the United States, Great Britain, France, and the Soviet Union each occupied a piece of postwar Germany. The four powers intended to jointly govern through the Allied Control Council until the country could be reunified under one government. But as relations between the West and the Soviet Union deteriorated in the late 1940s, Germany became a central part of the Cold War. In 1949, the the three western zones merged to form the Federal Republic of Germany, and the Soviet Union responded by establishing the German Democratic Republic. Although the capital city of Berlin was located within Soviet-controlled East Germany, it remained divided as a multinational area. Between 1949 and 1961, millions of East Germans defected from the German Democratic Republic by crossing into West Berlin. The mass exodus of young, well-educated individuals—which led to both economic stagnation and political turmoil—compelled Communist leaders to refortify East Germany’s borders. East German troops and workers began construction on the Berlin Wall on August 13, 1961. The first phase of the wall included 27 miles of barbed-wire fencing, covering the entire border between East and West Berlin. In addition, streets near the wall were ripped up in order to prevent cars and trucks from driving through. Through the years, the wall was reinforced with concrete and extended to over 90 miles in length. The final version of the Wall was 12 feet high and almost 4 feet wide. The massive fortification was more than just a physical barrier. The Berlin Wall symbolized the ideological barriers that divided the United States and Soviet Union during the heart of the Cold War. When demolition of the Wall began in November of 1989, it marked the end of an era of East-West hostilities. Germany reunified in 1990, and the Soviet Union dissolved the following year. Do you want to learn more about the Berlin Wall’s impact on the Cold War? The National Declassification Center at the National Archives, in partnership with the Historical Review Program of the CIA, will be a hosting a one-day conference on October 27 at the Archives in downtown Washington, DC.

Assistant Professor - Natural Resource and Ecology Management Iowa State University Perhaps the greatest reward for living in a place with four well-defined seasons is the marked return of spring. It’s now that the long, motionless days of winter are, seemingly overnight, replaced with the sights and sounds of species whose likeness we haven’t seen for months. While the site of a chickadee or deer on a cold winter day is a welcome reminder that we’re not in it alone, we are reminded that we’ve made it through another winter when flocks of geese, bound for the Arctic Ocean, grace the skies on the second warm day of March or robins flock to our yards and sing their melodious songs at day break. Another season is behind us and rapid changes are in the air. If this spring revitalization were a cast of characters, I think we’d agree that geese and robins play the leading role. Their arrival is conspicuous and sudden and plays out in nearly every corner of the state. I pity anyone who fails to notice this act. But, playing supporting roles are a wide diversity of other wildlife, showcasing their smaller parts, often in specific geographies, present during short time windows or perhaps less conspicuous to the untrained eye. The chorus of breeding frogs in wetlands, the emergence of insects, the courtship display of countless birds and many other examples comprise this roster. But my favorite, and perhaps one of the most undervalued supporting characters in this annual revival, is the American Woodcock. The woodcock’s show begins each year in the same sequence as the arrival of the geese and the return of the robin’s chorus. In shrubby grasslands or young forests, at dusk, the male woodcock begins his performance with a few unmistakable monotonous “peents” vocalizations that signal the bird’s intent to put on a show. Then, with the speed and ascent of a hobby rocket launch, the male shoots straight up into the air, 50-100 yards, nearly out of sight in the fading sky. He immediately follows with a vertical descent back to the launching pad, making what can only be described as kissing noises akin to schoolyard taunts, and a hollow whistling sound as the air sweeps past his uniquely shaped flight feathers during the fall. In an instant, the bird is back on the ground, peenting again and preparing for another launch. The show will go on until the light fully recedes over the horizon at which point it breaks until an encore performance the next night. And so it continues through March, April and portions of May until the heat of summer marks the passing of yet another season. Male woodcocks engage in this annual behavior for the same reasons we can observe curious behaviors in a whole suite of other species: courtship. Females observe the nightly displays from nearby vantages and eventually, when impressed by the acrobatics of one male or another, move in on the displaying grounds for further inspection. The good news for us is that the females ordinarily welcome company in the gallery for the show, and human observers careful to not get too close can observe and enjoy these nightly displays played out in every corner of the state. Aldo Leopold shared my fascination for what he called the “Sky Dance” in an essay of the same name in his iconic 1949 book “A Sand County Almanac.” There he captured a common sentiment among avid observers, that after learning of the display he and his family were “reluctant to miss even a single performance.” This show has been playing out across Iowa, which defines the western border of the species range that drops off as eastern forests cede to the prairies of the Great Plains, for centuries. However, it is likely that the show plays in fewer theaters across the state each year as has been the documented case across much of the eastern part of its range. Here, and across the eastern United States, the woodcock finds fewer places to display each year. Woodcock need young forests or old prairies to live their lives. In an environment where we often focus on keeping grasses free of trees (for grazing or for other grassland dependent wildlife) and foster growth of maturing forests rather than cutting them or allowing new ones to grow up, we find fewer and fewer places for these and many other so-called early successional wildlife to thrive. Efforts are underway across the U.S. to bring back young forests and old prairies, and to acknowledge the unique value these areas bring to wildlife and the people that value them. Landowners can help in this effort by learning about where young forests can fit on their land. A meeting with a professional forester or wildlife biologist will help interested landowners learn more about these ecosystems and approaches for restoring them. But, one need not own land to enjoy the sights and sounds of a displaying woodcock. There is a much simpler way: Find a nice quite spot overlooking a recently harvest stand of trees or an aging grassland with a mix of shrubs and grasses on a county park or state wildlife area. Arrive as the sun is setting, and wait patiently, listening closely for that peculiar “peent,” announcing the show is about to begin. There you’ll have a front row seat to for what is perhaps the best-kept secret in Iowa, that mesmerizing Sky Dance.

Qualitative research aims to describe the social world, to understand people’s underlying reasons, opinions and motivations and to explain the social world by developing hypotheses, theories and models. Common methods include interviews, focus group discussions, observation, and document analysis. The aims of qualitative evidence synthesis are the same as those of primary qualitative research with aim being to synthesize across primary studies. The process of conducting a qualitative evidence synthesis (QES) follow the same steps as conducting a systematic review of effect, including publishing a clearly written protocol. However, QES can be less linear in nature and more flexible in their design, adapting to the type of data that is identified. It is common to move back and forth between steps and take a more inductive approach to the project, learning as the review progresses. - A clearly stated set of objectives with pre-defined eligibility criteria for studies (this can be flexible and change during the review process) - An explicit, transparent methodology (not necessarily linear in nature) - A well-defined, systematic search that attempts to identify studies that meet the eligibility criteria (does not need to find everything) - A statement of the methodological limitations of the included studies - A systematic and transparent method of data extraction, synthesis and presentation of the characteristics and findings of the included studies Before starting the process of conducting a QES, the team should think through the following: Is a QES appropriate for the question? Is the question related to how people perceive or experience an event or intervention? Does it explore problems related to acceptability, feasibility, implementation, equity or similar? Is a QES on this topic needed? Do a quick scoping search to see if there is already a QES that answers the question. What experience does the QES team need to have in order to be successful? The lead author needs to have experience with conducting a QES and primary qualitative research. A minimum of one other team member must have experience conducting primary qualitative research. No matter how a QES is conducted, clear and transparent reporting of the steps that were taken is necessary. In a QES it is very important to report both the data audit trail (how many studies at which stages through the PRISMA diagram) along with a decision audit trail. A decision audit trail explains the thought process and reasoning for the decisions taken during the QES. This is both at the protocol stage (for example, why a certain study selection or synthesis approach) and at the review stage (any changes to what was planned and why). Enhancing transparency in reporting the synthesis of qualitative research: ENTREQ is a guideline on this topic (1).
Clues to African archaeology found in lead isotopes Microscopic specs of lead are offering clues about the enormous cultural changes that swept across northern Africa a thousand years ago. At The University of Arizona in Tucson, a young archaeologist is analyzing lead traces in artifacts to shed light on the relatively little-understood archaeology of Africa, especially the period marked by the spread of the new religion of Islam. Thomas R. Fenn, a doctoral student in the UA anthropology department, is unraveling evidence of centuries-old trade patterns across the Sahara Desert by identifying smelted metal artifacts, mainly copper, found in the continent's sub-Saharan regions. Fenn will report the results of his work ("Getting to the source of the problem: Lead isotope analysis and provenance determination of ancient African copper artifacts") on Sunday, March 26, at 2 p.m., U.S. Eastern Time at the annual meeting of the American Chemical Society in Atlanta. Fenn's presentation is in the Georgia World Congress Center, Room C-108. As Islamic forces moved across northern Africa, they set in motion trading opportunities between the arid lands bordering the Mediterranean and the dense jungles and savannahs south of the Sahara. One of the questions Fenn wants to answer concerns the sources of copper and other raw materials that became manufactured goods that were traded throughout the region. Specifically, why were metal workers in a sophisticated metallurgical industry in the sub-Sahara importing copper ingots when there were perfectly good copper ore deposits nearby? Knowing where these and other materials originated, said Fenn, may offer larger insights about not only trade, but also about technologies, economics and social organization. Who controlled bankable natural resources and transportation routes? How was labor distributed in these societies? David J. Killick, a UA associate professor of anthropology and expert on the archaeology of metallurgy in Africa, said tracing metals is a crucial part of understanding the development of trade in Africa. "Most of the money circulating in the western half of the Islamic world between the 11th and 16th centuries was minted with gold from sub-Saharan west Africa, and competition for the wealth generated by the trade fueled the growth of major West African states like Ghana, Mali and Songhai," Killick said. Using a process called lead isotope ratio analysis, or LIA, Fenn has examined more than 100 Iron-Age artifacts, most of them copper, from sub-Saharan Africa. The experiments were done in the W.M. Keck Isotope and Trace Element Laboratory at the UA. The lab is partially funded by the National Science Foundation and run by Joaquin Ruiz, a professor of geosciences and dean of the UA College of Science. "LIA is extremely accurate as a forensic tool in identifying lead traces found in metal ores," said John Chesley, a research scientist in the UA department of geosciences who developed the laboratory and analytical techniques for Fenn's project. Lead has four different isotopes, three of which occur as the natural decay of uranium and thorium. The isotopic ratios change as a function of time. Smelting doesn't change the ratios, making them a virtual fingerprint for a metal's source of origin. Scientists need only about 100 billionth of a gram for analysis. The trick, said Chesley, is making sure the sample remains completely free of contamination. The process takes about two weeks, but offers a high degree of certainty of linking objects to their source. LIA has been used successfully to determine the sources of non-ferrous metals from sites in other parts of the world for years, but its use in African archaeology is fairly recent. "In reality, I am dating the deposition of the ores on a geological timescale - millions of years - but I am not dating them within an archaeological time scale," Fenn said. "I am, in fact, using the geological age, derived from the lead isotope ratios, as a means of provenancing raw and refined copper metals, and metallurgical debris, to a potential ore source based on the similarity of their geological age, i.e., their lead isotope ratios, as well as by examining and comparing their chemical compositions." From his analysis, Fenn theorizes that the ore used to make the copper ornaments and other items found in the sites in West Africa likely came from North Africa. He said merchants there traded gold from regions like present-day Niger for copper from the north via camel caravans across the desert. Refined copper, Fenn said, likely was prized as a commodity that fit in with the value system of the region, where it was easily worked into ornamental objects and other items that could be bartered for other goods and services.

Symptoms of Danon disease vary from case to case and depend on gender. Boys usually show early signs of muscle problems (difficulty sitting or walking) and motor skills may be awkward or delayed. Intellectual disability is usually noticed by parents and/or teachers and can be quite mild. The development of heart disease can lead to further fatigue and shortness of breath. Visual complaints are also prevalent with serious color vision disturbances and near-complete loss of retinal pigment in some patients. In general, young girls may have no symptoms and will report normal muscle strength and have normal intellect. As females age, symptoms of heart disease can begin to develop. Muscle symptoms are reported by some girls and women but overt findings of frank muscle weakness are usually absent. Visual complaints may also be reported in women and can be an early feature of the disease, although manifestations are less severe than in men. Clinical researchers believe that the skeletal muscle involvement in Danon disease preferentially involves the muscles of the back, shoulder, upper legs and the neck muscles. These are the proximal muscles; that is, those closest to the center of the body. Symptoms of weakness in these muscles can include back pain and difficulty raising one’s arms over the head, getting out of a chair, or walking up steps. In a young boy, these problems may be suggested by problems meeting motor milestones (sitting, crawling, and walking, running). An experienced neurologist can recognize the extent of muscle disease by performing a physical examination. The diseased heart muscle (cardiomyopathy) can lead to a thickened, stiff heart (hypertrophic cardiomyopathy) or to an enlarged heart (dilated cardiomyopathy). Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy is more common in males (approximately 90% hypertrophic and 10% dilated), whereas females are more apt to show features of dilated cardiomyopathy (approximately 50% hypertrophic and 50% dilated). Sometimes the cardiomyopathy can be the first sign of disease in male children. In both instances, problems with heart function and symptoms of heart failure (shortness of breath, fatigue, fluid gain) can occur. Death from the heart disease seems to occur frequently in males, especially as they reach the second and third decades of life. Heart transplantation has been performed successfully and can greatly improve symptoms and extend life. The extent of intellectual disability in affected males has been described in some epidemiological studies. In the original description of Danon disease, the intellectual disability was classified as a form of mental retardation. However, it is clear that the majority of boys will be mildly affected cognitively, usually allowing them to achieve the ability to read, hold jobs, form relationships, and live independently. Furthermore, providing education and learning support may help some boys improve their intellectual functioning. In women, intellect appears to be normal, although very little information in the literature addresses this question. Less prevalent symptoms also include liver and lung involvement, although these have not been studied extensively and might be secondary to muscle involvement (e.g. serum liver enzyme elevation and respiratory muscle weakness). Some speculation also exists on psychiatric disease, with some case reports detailing depression, psychosis, suicidal ideation, and attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder in Danon disease patients. However, it is unclear if psychiatric episodes are related to Danon disease. Males with Danon disease typically have abnormalities on certain laboratory tests. The creatine kinase (sometimes referred to as the CPK level) in the blood is often elevated, and is a reflection of ongoing muscle damage. The CPK is usually elevated in males, but can be normal in some females who have Danon disease. Abnormalities in liver enzyme tests are common in males; in some cases these are mistakenly interpreted as a sign of primary liver disease rather than a reflection of skeletal muscle dysfunction; frank liver dysfunction has not been well-described in Danon disease. The electrocardiogram (ECG), which measures electrical impulses made by the heart, is often abnormal. This abnormality in conduction and electrical impulse is also known as an arrhythmia. Frequently, an arrhythmia called Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome or a pre-excitation syndrome will be seen on the ECG. An examination of the retina by an experienced eye doctor (ophthalmologist) will often detect changes in the pigment of the retina. This can be a useful sign in women, as the retinal changes appear to precede other symptoms of the disease in some cases. Danon disease is caused by a genetic defect (mutation) in a gene called LAMP2. To date, there are over 70 different mutations in the LAMP2 gene identified in case reports that could lead to Danon disease. Mutations that lead to a complete absence of LAMP2 protein have been shown to be most detrimental in terms of prognosis. Other mutations that lead to an incomplete LAMP2 protein that is only missing a component is less deleterious. In many instances the disease is inherited from a parent, typically the mother who is far more apt to remain healthy enough to reach reproductive age than the typically affected male. Without a heart transplant, only a few males may be healthy enough to father their own children. New genetic mutations (sporadic mutations) could also account for the first case in a family, but these have not been widely reported. Affected mothers will pass on the genetic defect to half of their children (both sons and daughters). Affected fathers who are healthy enough to have children will pass on the genetic defect to all of their daughters and none of their sons. This pattern of inheritance is consistent with what occurs in other X-linked genetic conditions. Since females have two X chromosomes (and males have one), females are somewhat protected from the Danon disease genetic defect. This is explained by the fact that each woman with Danon disease is expected to have one mutated X chromosome (containing a Danon disease mutation) and one normal X chromosome (where the LAMP2 gene is functioning normally). The normal X chromosome protects females and explains, in part, the less severe symptoms and the delay in onset of symptoms until adulthood. However, some women with Danon disease have progressed to the point of needing a heart transplant. The location of the malfunctioning gene has been traced to gene map locus Xq24. The genetic characteristics of this gene (LAMP2) are transmitted as an X-linked dominant trait. Chromosomes, which are present in the nucleus of human cells, carry the genetic information for each individual. Human body cells normally have 46 chromosomes. Pairs of human chromosomes are numbered from 1 through 22 and the sex chromosomes are designated X and Y. Males have one X and one Y chromosome and females have two X chromosomes. Each chromosome has a short arm designated “p” and a long arm designated “q”. Chromosomes are further sub-divided into many bands that are numbered. For example, “chromosome Xq24” refers to band 24 on the long arm of the X chromosome. The numbered bands specify the location of the thousands of genes that are present on each chromosome. Genetic diseases are determined by the combination of genes for a particular trait that are on the chromosomes received from the father and the mother. All individuals carry a few abnormal genes. Parents who are close relatives (consanguineous) have a higher chance than unrelated parents to both carry the same abnormal gene, which increases the risk to have children with a recessive genetic disorder. X-linked recessive genetic disorders are conditions caused by an abnormal gene on the X chromosome. Females have two X chromosomes but one of the X chromosomes is “turned off” and all of the genes on that chromosome are inactivated. Females who have a disease gene present on one of their X chromosomes are carriers for that disorder. Carrier females usually do not display symptoms of the disorder because it is usually the X chromosome with the abnormal gene that is turned off. A male has one X chromosome and if he inherits an X chromosome that contains a disease gene, he will develop the disease. Males with X-linked disorders pass the disease gene to all of their daughters, who will be carriers. A male cannot pass an X-linked gene to his sons because males always pass their Y chromosome instead of their X chromosome to male offspring. Female carriers of an X-linked disorder have a 25% chance with each pregnancy to have a carrier daughter like themselves, a 25% chance to have a non-carrier daughter, a 25% chance to have a son affected with the disease, and a 25% chance to have an unaffected son. X-linked dominant disorders, like Danon disease, are also caused by an abnormal gene on the X chromosome, but in these rare conditions, females with an abnormal gene are affected with the disease. Males with an abnormal gene are more severely affected than females, and many of these males do not survive. In the case of Danon disease, males can survive to adulthood, however, their medical problems and the typical need for heart transplantation likely limits their ability to have many children. The function of the LAMP2 protein (made from the LAMP2 gene) is not well understood. It appears that the LAMP2 protein is important for the function of the cell’s lysosomes. Lysosomes, often compared to waste disposal plants, are small structures inside cells that are responsible for breaking down certain molecules and compounds in cells. When the lysosomes do not function properly, cellular products accumulate. One such product that may build-up is glycogen and in some cases the diagnosis of Danon disease is suggested because of excess glycogen seen on a skeletal muscle biopsy. However, it is important to realize that excess glycogen is not always visible on a single muscle biopsy. At present, it is thought that Danon disease can affect all ethnic populations. The prevalence of Danon disease is unknown, but may be rising due to increased detection from wider availability of LAMP2 gene testing. Histories of affected patients at birth are usually normal. As discussed, males are more severely affected in this X-linked dominant disease. Because Danon disease is rare and unfamiliar to most physicians, diagnosis is difficult and takes substantial time. The diagnosis is suggested on the basis of a family history compatible with X-linked dominant inheritance and symptoms in affected relatives (cardiomyopathy, skeletal myopathy, intellectual disability, Wolff-Parkinson White, etc.). Skeletal muscle biopsy is probably done in some males in an effort to determine the cause of muscle weakness. If, in the course of examining the biopsy materials, glycogen buildup and/or empty spaces appear in the cells of the muscle tissue (vacuolization), Danon disease must be considered. This also holds true for the analysis of a heart biopsy. A muscle biopsy that yields evidence of glycogen build-up and empty spaces in the muscle cells are key signs and indications that a diagnosis of Danon disease is a high probability. It is important to recognize that, in early stages of Danon disease, and probably also in women, the muscle biopsy can be non-specific. Thus, a normal or non-specific muscle biopsy does not exclude Danon disease. If other features of Danon disease are present, a non-diagnostic muscle biopsy should not discourage more definitive genetic testing. Patients who appear to have Pompe disease (based on muscle biopsy for instance) but have normal acid maltase activity, should be evaluated for Danon disease. Unexplained hypertrophic cardiomyopathy in males is probably due to Danon disease in some proportion of cases. Antibodies to the LAMP-2 protein are available and tissue staining (of a muscle biopsy) for the absence of LAMP-2 protein is another potential, but not widely available, diagnostic approach. LAMP-2 antibody testing is likely to be normal in women with Danon disease and if done should be interpreted with caution due to the possibility of a false-negative result. Genetic testing of the LAMP2 gene is currently the gold standard for diagnosis and is available in specialized genetics laboratories. Most genetic mutations causing Danon disease predict reduced levels or even absence of the LAMP2 gene product, the LAMP-2 protein. Although the sensitivity of LAMP2 genetic testing is not known at this time, it is the best that is available. The noninvasive nature of DNA-based testing and the inclusion of LAMP2 gene testing in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy genetic diagnostic panels favor this method as the most common route to diagnosis. The treatment of Danon disease is directed toward the specific symptoms that are apparent in each individual. It requires a team that should include a primary care physician as well as several specialists, including a cardiologist, neurologist, ophthalmologist, geneticist, genetic counselor, rehabilitation physician, educational specialist, and physical therapist. Currently there is no specific therapy that is known to slow the underlying biological problems caused by LAMP-2 protein deficiency. The severity of cardiomyopathy is the major prognostic factor. Imaging studies including echocardiography and cardiac magnetic resonance can assess heart function, extent of hypertrophy, and degree of cardiac fibrosis (formation of scar tissue on the heart). Medications for heart disease should be given when indicated by clinical signs and symptoms. The rapid progression of the cardiomyopathy in some males necessitates prompt consideration for heart transplantation. Early involvement of electrophysiology to study the electrical conduction system of the heart is warranted in patients with arrhythmias. A device called a Holter monitor can be used to continuously record the electrical impulses of the heart. For symptomatic arrhythmias, early implantation of a cardioverter-defibrillator may be appropriate. Cardiac ablation therapy, which is a technique utilized to destroy the abnormal focus in the heart generating the irregular rhythm, can also be performed. As the disease can progress rapidly in males, consideration for early defibrillator implantation and evaluation for cardiac transplantation are appropriate in males as cardiomyopathy progresses. Assessment of muscle strength, especially the proximal muscles of the shoulder, neck, and legs, should be performed regularly. Physical therapy can be helpful in maintaining muscle strength and flexibility. Intellectual disability should be screened for in males and appropriate educational interventions applied as needed. Regular eye examinations, to track the development and progression of retinal disease, should be considered. Biological relatives who are at risk for Danon disease should be evaluated by a physician for early signs of disease. At a minimum, evaluation of such relatives should include a medical history, physical examination (attention to cardiac, neurological, and ocular exams), CPK testing, ECG, and echocardiogram. Genetic consultation and counseling is recommended for all patients and families so that inheritance and reproductive risks are clearly communicated. Future investigation should focus on the biochemical role of the LAMP2 gene in Danon disease. Information on its molecular function can provide insight on its pathogenesis and help initiate investigations to novel therapy.

Other diseases that result from insufficiency or lack of other proteins have been successfully treated with protein replacement therapies. This approach is theoretically possible in Danon disease, but has not been developed to date. There is no evidence or rational to support a high protein diet to treat Danon disease and any protein replacement effort would have to involve the LAMP-2 protein. A researcher in Colorado, Matthew Taylor, MD, PhD, has developed a registry of Danon disease patients and families to collect information that may advance the understanding of this disease and be helpful in the future development of treatments.

Essay PreviewMore ↓ In the novel, Even Cowgirls Get the Blues by Tom Robbins, Sissy Hankshaw is a young woman who gets introduced to the world via hitchhiking. From the beginning of the novel, Sissy’s sexuality is foreshadowed. She goes with her mother to see a psychic, Madame Zoe. When asked if Sissy will ever get married, Madame Zoe replies, "There is most clearly a marriage. A husband, no doubt about it, though he is years away…There are children, too. Five, maybe six. But the husband is not the father. They will inherit your characteristics" (Robbins 33). There is also a lot of defying of traditional gender roles in this novel. Sissy hitchhikes all over the eastern United States by herself. Her self-reliance and determination was previously thought to be more of a male characteristic. Along these lines it is also relevant to use Feminist Literary Criticism to assess this novel. Even Cowgirls Get the Blues and its main character, Sissy Hankshaw epitomize the change in women and sex roles in the late 1960s and 1970s. First of all, this novel can be looked at as representative of the sexual revolution in the 1970s. According to Linda Grant, author of Sexing the Millenium, up until the mid-1960s, single women had a difficult time obtaining birth control and were given the responsibility of remaining virgins until they consummated a marriage. Abortion and homosexuality were not only illegal, but were taboo topics of discussion. Furthermore, a number of women were trapped in loveless marriages due to strict divorce laws (2). Lillian B. Rubin, author of Erotic Wars, describes the beginnings of the Sexual Revolution: Then came the sixties and the sexual revolution. The restraints against sexual intercourse for unmarried women gave way as the Pill [oral contraceptive] finally freed them from the fear of unwanted pregnancy. Seduction became abbreviated and compressed, oftentimes bypassed altogether, as women, reveling in their newfound liberation, sought the sexual freedom that had for so long been ‘for men only.’ The assumption of the era was that she wanted sex as much as he did, the only question being whether or not they wanted to do it with each other. Young people lived together openly, parading their sexuality before their parents’ outraged and bewildered gaze (13). She goes on to report about an interview with a 15-year-old boy who says, "I guess sex was originally to produce another body; then I guess it was for love; nowadays it’s just for feeling good" (13).

This is a term that most of us are familiar with; yet, what is feminism. The Routledge Critical Dictionary of Feminism and Postfeminism defines "feminist purpose" for us as "an active desire to change women's position in society" (Brown, Meginis, and Bardari, 231).

Influences on Robbins while conceiving this novel include the early history of Christianity, eastern religion, and author Joseph Campbell. Campbell is famous for his massive and detailed comparisons of Western and Eastern spirituality, myth, and belief. Additionally, the experimentation with psychedelic drugs such as LSD and psilocybin mushrooms led Robbins to new perspectives and mind expansion and consequently to question the validity of Christianity and t...

The novel depicted slavery as a moral evil and was the cause of much controversy at the time and long after. Uncle Tom's Cabin outraged the South and received praise in the North. The publication of Uncle Tom's Cabin was a major turning point for the United States which helped bring about the Civil War. Uncle Tom's Cabin is said to have contributed to the Civil War because it brought the evils of slavery to the attention of Americans more vividly than any other book had done before ("Harriett's Life")....

Sissy’s mother leaves the psychic shortly after she is informed that Sissy’s future children will not be fathered by her future husband. She gives Sissy a "rare embrace" and leaves. Sissy goes on to travel from Richmond to Manhattan, where she meets the Countess, a homosexual male socialite. She is introduced to Julian Gitche, who she spends a weekend making love with after she has a group sexual experience with a married couple. She ends up marrying Julian. She goes on later in the novel to meet Bonanza Jellybean, a cowgirl at the Rubber Rose Ranch, and feels sexual desire for her. They have sexual experiences together a few times throughout the novel. Another man that Sissy has sexual intercourse with is the Chink, a sort of legendary wise man. It is not so much that she is in love with any of these sexual partners, as earlier generations would have as a prerequisite, but that all of these people make her feel desirable. Also note that Sissy is technically an adulteress because during her sexual escapades with Bonanza Jellybean and the Chink, she is still married to Julian Gitche. Clearly she did not have sexual relations with all of these individuals for procreation or love, but rather personal pleasure. As for the Countess, a homosexual who is obsessed with feminine hygiene and enterprises upon it, he also deviates from traditional sex roles. According to Love, Sex, and Sex Roles by Constantina Safilios-Rothschild, prior to the 1960s, homosexuality was taboo. Men were not able to express emotional need to other men, but rather had to compete in work, sports, etc. (74). Prior to the era of Even Cowgirls Get the Blues, lesbianism was viewed by some psychoanalysts as "narcissistic regression." This means to say the lesbians were immature in that they could only love themselves and "loving" one of the same gender was only an expression of self-love (Jeffreys 316). Homosexuality is a theme in Robbins’ novel. The countess is homosexual and is very emotionally sensitive, a stereotypical characteristic of male homosexuals, but he is also a shrewd businessman, a more dominant characteristic. The same gender experiences that Sissy has in the novel defy the earlier psychoanalytical view of lesbians. Sissy truly does care for Bonanza Jellybean and wants to help her on the Rubber Rose Ranch. They become close friends throughout the novel in addition to Sissy’s attachment to the other cowgirls. Feminist theory can easily be applied to this novel. In Literary Theory: A Very Short Introduction, author Jonathan Culler writes: …We consider gender as performative, in the sense that it is not what is but what one does. A man is not what one is but something one does, a condition one enacts. Your gender is created by your acts, in the way that a promise is created by the act of promising. You become a man or a woman by repeated acts, which…depend on social conventions, habitual ways of doing something in a culture. Just as there are regular, socially established ways of promising, making a bet, giving orders, and getting married, so there are socially established ways of being a man or being a woman (99). There are several examples in Even Cowgirls Get the Blues to back up Culler’s theory, the most prominent examples being the Countess and Bonanza Jellybean. One could arguably say that the Countess is not, in fact, male. He is often referred to in the novel as "she" and at one point in the novel asks Sissy to imagine what it is like to be a "male Countess." In reality, there is no such thing as a male Countess, as he would be a Count. Not only does her refer to himself as a female, but he dresses like one in very ornamented clothing. Bonanza Jellybean exhibits traditional male roles of aggression. At one point, she holds the ranch manager hostage and demands that certain things are changes. Traditionally women would take a more passive approach to confrontation. The Sexual Revolution and Feminism have paved the way for women of my generation and beyond. Even Cowgirls Get the Blues is a timeless record of the Sexual Revolution and gives strong examples of women in power. It makes strength in women, sexual liberation, homosexuality, and independence into desirable qualities. This novel is also easily criticized formally from a Feminist Theory perspective with multiple examples of female domination. Sissy Hankshaw is the perfect example of a sexually liberated women, just as Bonanza Jellybean and the Countess are examples of redefined sex roles in the late 1960s and early 1970s.

Soil is a natural body consisting of layers (soil horizons) of mineral constituents of variable thicknesses, which differ from the parent materials in their morphological, physical, chemical, and mineralogical characteristics. Uses of Soil: 1. Soil is used in agriculture, where it serves as the primary nutrient base for the plants. Soil resources are critical to the environment, as well as to food and fiber production. Soil provides minerals and water to plants. Soil is used to make plants grow healthy. The types of soil used in agriculture (among other things, such as the purported level of moisture in the soil) vary with respect to the species of plants that are cultivated. 2. Soil is used in constructions and arts. Soil material is a critical component in the mining and construction industries. Soil serves as a foundation for most construction projects. Massive volumes of soil can be involved in surface mining, road building, and dam construction. Earth sheltering is the architectural practice of using soil for external thermal mass against building walls. Soil is used to make pots. 3. Soil play an important role in filtrating and purifying water. After coming down as precipitation, much of the rain water is percolated through the many horizons of a soil profile and renamed as groundwater. As the water moves through different areas such as wetlands, forests, and riparian zones many pollutants are removed. Pollutants such as viruses, oils, metals, excess nutrients, and sediments are filtered out by the soil and surrounding organisms. 4. Waste management often has a soil component. Landfills use soil for daily cover. Septic drain fields treat septic tank effluent using aerobic soil processes. 5. Organic soils, especially peat, serve as a significant fuel resource.
Vertical gardening is an approach used to grow vegetables up and down, rather than side to side like in a traditional horizontal garden. In a vertical garden, vegetables grow up tall structures instead of across the ground. Vertical gardening is an alternative for gardeners with limited space. Through vertical gardening, you also can obstruct undesirable views or create an area of architectural interest. Use these tips to grow vegetables vertically. Prepare a Vertical Garden 1Determine where to situate the vertical garden. Most vegetables require at least 6 hours of sun, so choose a sunny location for the vertical garden. If you live in an apartment building, a sunny balcony may be an option. If you have a yard, consider a sunny location against a south-facing wall of your house. 2Select vertical structures. In order for plants to grow vertically, they need a vertical support system. Common support structures include trellises, tripods, pyramids, walls, fences, wire cages and walls. Arches or arbors can serve as focal areas while also supporting vegetables. Almost any structure that points toward the sky can be used for vertical gardening. Consider creative options like bamboo poles, tree branches, ladders, sunflowers or corn stalks. - Choose a support structure strong enough for the vegetables you want to grow. Mature plants loaded down with vegetables can be heavy. For example, tomato plants require very sturdy vertical structures, while peas may climb almost any structure without bearing much weight on it. - Place the support system in your garden or on your patio before planting vegetables. This prevents you from damaging plants. - Locate vertical supports on the north or east side of the garden where they won't block the sun from the growing vegetables. - Anchor the support system securely. Vertical supports like trellises or wire cages can be staked directly in the ground. Trellises and other flat vertical supports also can be attached to the exterior wall of a home. If you attach a vertical support to a wall, leave space between the wall and the trellis for air circulation as the plant climbs. 3Prepare the soil. Whether you plant vegetables in the ground or in containers, soil quality is important for your vertical garden. Use weed-free, compost-rich soil. To encourage proper drainage in containers, mix the soil with peat moss or perlite. 4Choose containers as applicable. If you are growing vegetables in containers, you can use almost any type of container. Make sure that the container is deep enough to accommodate the type of vegetable you are growing. Larger and heavier vegetables will require larger and sturdier containers. Consider hanging baskets, urns, window boxes, washtubs, coffee cans, clay pots or wooden crates. If the container does not have drainage holes, drill small holes on the bottom of the container before filling it with soil. Grow Vegetables Vertically 1Understand the basics of growing vegetables vertically. Almost any type of vegetable can be grown vertically as long as the container is deep enough to accommodate the plant and the vertical staking is strong enough to hold the plant. - Evaluate your garden conditions. Choose vegetables that will thrive in your garden based on its lights, wind, heat and moisture. If you are growing vertical vegetables in containers, be prepared to water the containers daily. - Plant the "vine" varieties of plants when applicable. If you are growing beans, cucumbers, squash or beans, be sure to plant the vine variety, which will climb vertically, instead of the bush variety. 2Select vegetables to grow. While most vegetables can be grown vertically, several types of vegetables are known for their success in vertical gardens. If you are just starting out in vertically gardening, consider these vegetables. - Grow pole beans vertically. Pole beans will climb almost any structure, including other plants. The Native Americans often planted beans and corn together because the corn would provide a vertical support for the beans. - Grow peas in a vertical garden. Like pole beans, peas will climb almost any structure and need little encouragement to twine around vertical supports. Consider growing peas on trellises, bamboo sticks or even over an arbor. - Grow winter squash and gourds vertically. Winter squash and gourds have long vines that can extend up to 10 feet (3.0 m) for the squash and 25 feet (7.6 m) for the gourds. Because the vines grow so long and become heavy, you must provide a sturdy, secure vertical support. To provide extra support to heavy winter squash, such as butternut, wrap cloth twine or strips of pantyhose around each fruit and tie to the vertical supporting structure. Do not use string to support the squash because it may cut into the stems. Some garden centers sell materials made specifically for supporting large vegetables, like winter squash and gourds. - Grow melons and pumpkins in a vertical garden. Like winter squash, melons and pumpkins have long vines and the fruit needs additional support when growing vertically. Grow melons and pumpkins up strong, secure vertical structures. Wrap slings made of old sheets, rags, towels or fabric scraps around the melons and pumpkins and secure them to the fence or trellis to provide needed support. - Grow cucumbers vertically. Cucumbers (the vine variety, not the bush variety) are ideal for a vertical garden because they naturally climb. They can be grown up almost any structure, such as an A-frame, cage or trellis, but it must be strong enough to support the weight of the vines. Initially, cucumbers may need a little encouragement to attach themselves to the vertical structure, but as soon as the tendrils wind around the support, they will climb vertically without assistance. The cucumbers will hang vertically from the plant, making them easy to harvest. - Grow tomatoes in a vertical garden. Because tomatoes are heavy plants, they require a sturdy vertical structure. As the tomato plants grow, tie the branches to the structure with a soft twine or cotton cloth at regular intervals. - If you use bamboo stakes or iron rods as vertical structures, buy "cane toppers" for the ends. These toppers, which can be a plastic ball or a ceramic decorative structure, keep the stakes or rods from poking you in the eyes while working around them. - Do not pull fruits or vegetables like cucumbers, melons or squash off of the vertically growing vines. Pulling the fruits or vegetables too hard may separate the vine from its vertical structure or uproot it. Rather, use a small knife or pruning shears to remove fruits and vegetables from the vine. - The climbing vines of many vegetables can have sharp, prickly edges. To protect your hands, wear garden gloves when harvesting vegetables. Things You'll Need - Vertical support structures - Vegetable seeds or seedlings - Compost-rich soil - Peat moss or perlite - Cloth twine or strips of fabric - Old sheets, rags, towels or fabric - Garden gloves - Small knife or pruning shears
I-cell disease (mucolipidosis II) is a rare inherited metabolic disorder characterized by coarse facial features, skeletal abnormalities and mental retardation. The symptoms of I-cell disease are similar to but more severe than those of Hurler syndrome. The symptoms associated with this disorder typically become obvious during infancy and may include multiple abnormalities of the skull and face and growth delays. This disorder belongs to a group of diseases known as lysosomal storage disorders. Lysosomes are particles bound in membranes within cells that break down certain fats and carbohydrates. Multiple enzyme deficiencies associated with I-cell disease lead to the accumulation of certain fatty substances (mucolipids) and certain complex carbohydrates (mucopolysaccharides) within the cells of many tissues of the body. I-cell disease is caused by a mutation in the GNPTA gene that leads to a deficiency in the enzyme UDP-N-acetylglucoseamine-1-phosphotransferase. I-cell disease is inherited as an autosomal recessive genetic trait. Some of the physical features associated with I-cell disease (ML II) may be apparent at birth (congenital), whereas other features may become apparent between the ages of 6 to 10 months. Craniofacial abnormalities may include coarse facial features, a depressed nasal bridge, a long and narrow head, an unusually high and narrow forehead, and/or skin folds on the inner corners of the eyes (epicanthal folds). The skin may appear to be unusually thick and tight in certain areas of the body (e.g., face, arms, and legs). The corneas of the eyes may appear cloudy. Infants with I-cell disease may also have skeletal malformations including abnormal curvature of the spine from side to side (scoliosis) and/or from front to back (kyphosis), an unusually short neck, dislocation of the hip at birth (congenital), swelling or enlargement of the top portion of the spine (lumbar gibbus), and/or limited mobility of the shoulders. Skeletal abnormalities may also include misaligned bones in the spinal column (vertebral breaking and wedging), wider than normal spaces between ribs, and/or unusual positioning of the fingers (metacarpal pointing). On occasion, infants with I-cell disease may have fingers that are fused together (split hand deformity or ectrodactyly). (For more information on this disorder, choose “split hand” as your search term in the Rare Disease Database.) Children with I-cell disease typically have severe delays in the development of gross and fine motor skills, hearing loss, lack of muscle tone (hypotonia), and varying degrees of mental retardation. Growth delays usually result in short stature (dwarfism). In some children with this disorder, a portion of the intestines may protrude through an abnormal opening in the abdominal wall in the area of the navel (umbilical hernia) and/or the groin (inguinal hernia). Abnormal enlargement of the liver (hepatomegaly), is often observed in association with a protruding abdomen in infants with I-cell disease. Other symptoms of I-cell disease may include frequent respiratory infections, constipation and/or diarrhea, overgrowth of gum tissue (gingival hyperplasia), and/or joint stiffness or joints that are “frozen” in place (contractures). Some children with I-cell disease may have abnormalities of the heart such as defects of the heart valves, enlargement of the heart (cardiomegaly), congestive heart failure and/or heart murmurs. Individuals with I-cell disease often die in childhood, although some patients survive into their teens. I-cell disease (Mucolipidosis II) is caused by a mutation in the GNPTA gene that is located on the long arm of chromosome 4 (4q21-q23). Chromosomes, which are present in the nucleus of human cells, carry the genetic information for each individual. Human body cells normally have 46 chromosomes. Pairs of human chromosomes are numbered from 1 through 22 and the sex chromosomes are designated X and Y. Males have one X and one Y chromosome and females have two X chromosomes. Each chromosome has a short arm designated “p” and a long arm designated “q”. Chromosomes are further sub-divided into many bands that are numbered. For example, “chromosome 4q21” refers to band 21 on the long arm of chromosome 4. The numbered bands specify the location of the thousands of genes that are present on each chromosome. The GNPTA gene mutation leads to a deficiency in the enzyme UDP-N-acetylglucoseamine-1-phosphotransferase that is involved in the synthesis of mannose-6-phosphate, resulting in decreased intracellular levels of lysosomal enzymes and increased levels in blood serum and body fluid. The symptoms of I-cell disease develop due to deficiencies of a variety of lysosomal enzymes in the cells of the body causing an abnormal accumulation of certain fatty substances (mucolipids) and certain complex carbohydrates (mucopolysaccharides) within the cells of many tissues of the body. I-cell disease is inherited as an autosomal recessive genetic trait. Genetic diseases are determined by the combination of genes for a particular trait that are on the chromosomes received from the father and the mother. Recessive genetic disorders occur when an individual inherits the same abnormal gene for the same trait from each parent. If an individual receives one normal gene and one gene for the disease, the person will be a carrier for the disease, but usually will not show symptoms. The risk for two carrier parents to both pass the defective gene and, therefore, have an affected child is 25% with each pregnancy. The risk to have a child who is a carrier like the parents is 50% with each pregnancy. The chance for a child to receive normal genes from both parents and be genetically normal for that particular trait is 25%. The risk is the same for males and females. I-Cell Disease is a rare disorder that affects males and females in equal numbers. Siblings of affected infants have a 1 in 4 chance of being affected by this disorder. Approximately 30 cases of I-Cell Disease have been reported in the medical literature. This disease appears to be more common in Japan than in other countries. I-cell disease can be diagnosed before birth (prenatally) utilizing amniocentesis or chorionic villus sampling. Amniocentesis is a procedure in which a small portion of the fluid that surrounds the fetus (amniotic fluid) is removed and cells from the fluid are then tested in the laboratory. Chorionic villus sampling (CVS) is a prenatal diagnostic procedure in which a small sample of tissue is removed from the placenta. Abnormally low levels of UDP-N-acetylglucoseamine-1-phosphotransferase enzyme activity in amniotic fluid cells or chorionic villi suggest the diagnosis of I-cell disease. The diagnosis of I-cell disease may be confirmed in an infant by a thorough clinical evaluation, patient history, and specialized laboratory testing. UDP-N-acetylglucoseamine-1-phosphotransferase enzyme activity can be measured in white blood cells or in cultured fibroblasts. Lysosomal enzymes are typically elevated in the blood serum and decreased in cultured fibroblasts. The treatment of I-cell disease is symptomatic and supportive. Antibiotics are often prescribed for respiratory infections and yearly flu shots are important. Physical therapy is encouraged to maintain joint function and mobility as long as possible. Total hip replacement has been most effective when performed after puberty. Other orthopedic complications may be managed as they arise. Hearing aids should be considered. Sleep studies can determine the degree of obstructive sleep apnea and the need for treatment. In some cases, heart problems may be treated surgically. Genetic counseling is advised for families who have a child with this disorder. Experimental therapies are aimed at treating I-cell disease as early as possible. Bone marrow replacement transplantation has been attempted for the treatment of this disorder but the benefit was limited.

Cognitive therapy is based on the theory that much of how we feel is determined by what we think. Disorders, such as depression, are believed to be the result of faulty thoughts and beliefs. By correcting these inaccurate beliefs, the personís perception of events and emotional state improve.

Signs and Symptoms of Substance Abuse Substance abuse is a serious issue and can have grave consequences when not addressed. Simply, someone has a substance abuse issue when they use, or overuse, psychoactive substances such as alcohol, recreational drugs, or prescription drugs. These drugs can have serious side effects, especially when not used properly or overused. Addicts lose control of their relationships, their work, and sometimes even lose their lives, so it’s important to act fast when faced with a substance abuse issue. Substance abuse can start out in a seemingly harmless fashion – an extra drink of alcohol or a few pills to ease the pain. It can start by taking drugs to help focus for an exam or relax after the work is done. Some people start taking drugs to make them feel cool or to deal with complex issues at home. Whatever the cause is, the person continues to take the drug, sometimes increasing the amount or adding a new drug to the mix until their problems go from small to large. How to Spot Substance Abuse If you believe someone you love is having substance abuse issues, the first thing you should do is learn how to spot the problem. The signs can vary depending on the type of substance, but there are a few common signs that tell you things are not as they should be. - Blackout and Memory Loss: This generally occurs after drinking too much and results in not remembering what happened while intoxicated. If excessive alcohol or drugs are consumed, the person can black out completely and get themselves killed. - Violent Outbursts: When someone starts engaging in violent fights with family and friends, it may be a sign of depression, mood swings, and addiction. - Unnatural Relaxation: On the other end, when someone is unnaturally relaxed in what is normally a tense situation or they’re not contributing in their normal way, appearing to be zoned out instead, it can also be a sign of addiction. This relaxation can lead to skipping school or work, sleeping too much, and generally shirking responsibilities. - Change in Personality: Both with violent outbursts and unnatural relaxation, you’re seeing a drastic change in someone’s normal behavior. These changes are pronounced to the people who love them. Some substances can even change someone’s appearance (and not for the better), yet people will continue to abuse until steps are taken to get treatment. - Preoccupation: Addicts often get preoccupied with when they’re going to get their next drink or their next fix of their drug of choice. Often, they are unable to control their behavior. - Physical Symptoms: Often, drugs can cause our bodies to react in different ways, from pupils that are over dilated to increased heart rate to unusual nosebleeds. Pay attention to these symptoms to understand a pattern of behavior. - Withdrawal Symptoms: If someone has been abusing a drug or alcohol and is trying to treat themselves, you may notice increased anxiety, sickness, trembling, and even blood in their vomit. Withdrawal can be painful and harmful; it is wise to seek medical intervention immediately. How Friends and Family Can Help Families can be key to identifying substance-abuse problems and helping their loved ones find the right treatment and stay on track. Family members need to remember that their own physical and mental health can be key to helping their loved one recover. - Learn About Addiction: There are lots of resources available online, in bookstores, and in the library to teach families how to spot, handle, and treat addiction. There’s scientific research about how drugs work and what can be done to reverse the damage, and this same science can help explain how and why people become addicted. - Create Dialogue: When you first talk to your loved one about substance abuse, focus on listening to what they are saying. Even if they initially deny the problem, they may still drop hits about what might be causing the issue. Show that you are willing to listen and take the time necessary to understand and relate to them. - Find a Support Group: Just as there are support groups for people struggling with addiction, there is support for family members. These groups can help you address issues of failure, trust, and frustration in an effective manner. - Try Family Therapy: Family therapy can provide the tools and setting for family members to learn how to communicate effectively and listen to what others are saying. They can also learn how to help the addict deal with triggers in their daily life that are causing the issues. - Spend Time as a Family: This can seem silly, especially as everyone is hurrying about, but sitting down together and eating is a chance to provide support to every member of the family. Reconnecting, sharing, and spending time together builds on work done in family therapy, which makes everyone feel like they’re an important part of the whole. - Set Expectations: While entering treatment is a positive first step, it’s only the first step. Family members need to understand that their work will continue even when the addict returns from their treatment and that aftercare is important to the overall success of the treatment. - Take Care of Yourself: You can’t help someone else if you have your own physical or mental health issues. Exercise, eat nutritious meals, and find your own joy in life so that you can help set a good example for your loved one. Choosing the Right Treatment and Rehabilitation Center Once there’s a commitment to seek treatment, the next step is deciding the best direction to go from the options available. You may want to start by seeing a doctor or a mental health counselor, or it may make sense to find a rehab facility and start the detox process. When you feel good and your body is healthy, it’s less likely that you’ll want to screw it up with drugs. In the most severe cases, the patient may need medical attention immediately either in the form of a hospital or the detox services of a treatment center. Other special needs such as a handicap or dietary restrictions may require additional considerations. Families also need to consider their financial situation and whether their insurance will cover the cost of a treatment program. We can’t answer those questions without your input, but we can help you find the best treatment situation. You may need to know if they offer inpatient detox, the specific types of programs and therapies they offer, and whether they will accept your insurance. Once you’ve found a facility that offers the specific combination of services and amenities required, but before the treatment begins, make sure you know what the average length of stay at the facility is and how long the patient is expected to stay. You will also want to know what the cost of the treatment is and how family members can be involved. Then, there are questions you want to ask around licensing, making sure the staff members are certified, the facility is accredited, if they’re licensed to deal with the specific situation, the patient-to-staff ratio, and how long they’ve been in business. You also want to know if there’s a waiting list and how long it is, how they differentiate themselves from other facilities, what their treatment philosophy is, and how they follow up with patients to prevent relapse. Location is also a big consideration. While it may seem that closer to home is better, in general, getting away from stressors and bad influences to put normal life on hold can help get people in the right mind-set to make a change. This is true for those who can put their lives on pause and work remotely. Other individuals with children or other family to care for may opt for treatment closer to home. Choosing the right treatment center from the multitude of options can seem daunting, so it is helpful to have someone guide you through the process thoroughly and quickly so that the patient can be assured of starting the right program for them. Whether they need to start with an intense medically supervised detox or go into individual counseling and other kinds of behavioral therapies, there’s a treatment center that can work for them. Fighting through detoxification, withdrawal, and initial cravings can be easier when removed from the home and with the support of trained professionals. What to Expect at a Rehabilitation Center Once you’ve chosen a rehab center and arrived, they’ll start by helping you through the withdrawal process. This can take hours or days, depending on the substance you’re addicted to and how much you’re taking. You may simply be asked to go cold and not take any more, but in many cases, you’ll start weaning off the substance. In some cases, you’ll switch to a different, less harmful drug and then start weaning slowly off that instead. If necessary, you’ll have medical supervision and around-the-clock care as your body detoxes. After you’ve finished detoxing, you’ll start counseling to help you handle withdrawal and cravings. This is often based around a 12-step program. You’ll stay in the center anywhere from a few days to 12 months (depending on your addiction and personality), and get the structure and support from the community and staff the entire time you’re in residence. You may also be prescribed medicine to help you handle your cravings and side effects, and be monitored while on that medication. You are also likely to participate in individual and group therapy along with other treatments designed to help you learn to take better care of yourself mentally and physically. Counselors will address any underlying causes of the addiction and help you make a plan to deal with those issues when you return back to normal life. Depending on the facility you choose, you may find that additional options are offered including access to gyms and personal trainers to help you get your fitness on the right track, and nutritionists to help you learn how to eat healthy. When you feel good and your body is healthy, it’s less likely that you’ll want to screw it up with drugs. Once you leave the rehab facility, your treatment isn’t over. You’ll go into an aftercare program that is designed just for you to help prevent a relapse. After all, once you’ve gone through the detoxification and withdrawal process and learned how to live a healthy lifestyle, you want to make sure the positive changes stick. How to Afford a Trip to a Rehabilitation Center This may sound like a lot of treatment and a huge expense. Depending on the facility, it very well could be. However, in many situations, insurance will cover or subsidize your treatment. Rehab-Finder.Org can look at your insurance plan and discover which treatment options are covered, fully or partially, by your insurance, and then help you determine which one of those options best fits in with your treatment plan. From there, you can start doing your research about the facility’s accreditation, what types of amenities or other treatments they offer, and what therapies you want to take part in. Again, Rehab-Finder.Org is here to help you streamline this process and help you collect the information you need to make the best decision for you. Learn more about paying for rehab. Attending a treatment facility can be the first step towards a new, healthy life and a positive perspective. While you’re in the treatment, take the time to think about what you truly want out of life, both personally and professionally. One advantage of many treatment programs is that you’re far away from the stressors of your normal life and can take the time to truly think about your goals. As you come off the substance abuse, you will be clear-headed and able to think about things you may have avoided in the past. While we can’t promise you’ll find your life’s purpose, we know that going to treatment will help you get back on track to being healthier and happier. When you’re ready to make the commitment, or if you are seeking advice to help a loved one, give us a call at 877-251-4813 to learn what options are available.
More than a million pets in the U.S. have heartworms. But heartworm disease is preventable What is heartworm disease? Heartworm disease is a life-threatening parasite (worm) that affects the bloodstream of both dogs and cats, that live in the heart. This parasite can decrease blood flow, cause damage to the heart and lungs, and is one of the leading causes of death of pets in East Texas. How does my pet get heartworm disease? Pets are infected with heartworms by ONE bite from an infected mosquito. Not all mosquitos are infected with this parasite, however, if you will refer to the incidence map above, you will note that Rains County and most of East Texas is in the highest population of disease, which indicates a significant amount of our mosquitos are carrying this disease to your pets. What can I do to ensure my pet does not get heartworm disease? Keeping your pets indoors, or with long hair, are NOT ways to prevent heartworm infection. The very deadly disease is only prevented and treated using veterinary administered, or prescribed products. Please contact our clinic today to discuss starting your pet on heartworm preventative. If my pet does have heartworm disease, what can I do about it? Here at Emory Veterinary Clinic, we treat patients weekly with heartworm disease, though it is both costly and does not come without consequences. Each pet is treated and staged as an individual and a treatment plan will be discussed with you that fits the needs of your pet, and your financial capability. For more information regarding heartworm disease, please visit the American heartworm society website, where you will find the latest research and information.
Individual differences | Methods | Statistics | Clinical | Educational | Industrial | Professional items | World psychology | In scientific theory a hypothetical construct is an explanatory variable which is not directly observable. For example, the concepts of intelligence and motivation are used to explain phenomena in psychology, but neither is directly observable. A hypothetical construct differs from an intervening variable in that it has properties and implications which have not been demonstrated in empirical research. These serve as a guide to further research. An intervening variable is a summary of observed empirical findings.
Guest Blog by the Society for the Improvement of Rural People (SIRP) In Igbo land, FGM is usually carried out to coincide with the child’s naming ceremony, which is a festive event with gifts and refreshments. In Igbo culture, the naming ceremony comes up almost immediately after the birth of the child. It is normally done on the 7th to the 12th day after the birth of the child. When a child is born in Igbo land, he or she is welcomed into the world with joyous songs. In our culture, as soon as the news of a safe delivery of a baby is broken, the women around will assemble and start singing joyous songs. These women will then go into the house and rub “Nzu” (a white powder) on their necks as a mark of purity of heart, goodwill and welcome for the new child. After this, the family will then start making arrangements for the child’s naming ceremony, which is a very big event in Igbo land. In Igbo culture, the naming ceremony of a child is often referred to as “ikuputanwa or igu nwa’ aha” and this marks the formal presentation of the child to his people, which comprises of his kinsmen, family, friends, well-wishers and the entire community at large. This event is normally done to fulfill the social- religious obligations, that are believed to become activated when a child is born, as well as to thank God for the safe delivery of the child and to ask him to guide the child, as he embarks on a journey through the earth. In traditional Igbo life, there is a lot in a name. The name is more than just a tag; it’s more of an identity. An Igbo name always bears a message, a meaning i.e. like my own name Somtochukwu which simply means (follow me and praise God). Now coming to the naming ceremony proper, in Igbo land, the paternal grand-parents officiate Igbo naming ceremonies. The child is brought out by the paternal grandmother, who hands him/her to the child’s father. The ceremony then begins with the usual breaking of kola-nuts and prayer, which involves the pouring of wine libation to the gods. After this, the child is then given a name by the father. In some communities in Igbo land, a tree is also planted to represent the life and survival of the child. The ceremony is then ended with the presentation of gifts to the child. It is under the scenario, that the girl child is also mutilated. In Igbo land, the naming and cuttings are intertwined. Society for the Improvement of Rural People (SIRP) has found out that poor mothers could not openly resist their girls undergoing FGM because it would also mean there would be no naming celebration. It is because of this situation, that SIRP introduced the sponsorship of naming ceremonies for children, whose parents showed a commitment not to cut their infant daughters. These parents then went on to become SIRP’s FGM Abolition Champions and Peer Educators in their communities, working hard and often facing social persecution.
https://bhikkhucintita.wordpress.com/ho ... -buddhism/ that Ven Gavesako linked to recently are an interesting, though somewhat rambling, discussion of Folk vs Essential Buddhism, and how they are necessary for each other. In particular, the theme is how Folk Buddhism involves integration of local culture. And, of course, the key question (not fully developed in the series yet) is: Which aspects of Western Buddhist practice are Folk Buddhism? Here are a few random snippets. https://bhikkhucintita.wordpress.com/20 ... uddhism-7/ A common factor in the way the Refuges are practiced and understood in American Folk Buddhism is free-thinking, captured for instance in the following quote: “Believe nothing, no matter where you read it, or who said it, no matter if I have said it, unless it agrees with your own reason and your own common sense.” - “The Buddha”Free-thinking is related to the Protestant rejection of authority that we discussed last week, but more importantly to the post-(European-)Enlightenment regard for rational or critical thinking and the parallel disparagement of “faith,” and accounts for the popularity in the West of the quote above. This passage was however never spoken by the Buddha. I don’t know who made it up. https://bhikkhucintita.wordpress.com/20 ... uddhism-9/ It is hardly surprising that individualism as a strong factor in American and Western culture should also be a strong factor in American and Western Folk Buddhism. Here, as with other aspects of Folk Buddhism, my interest will be in investigating to what extent its particular forms are friendly to, indifferent to or inimical to Essential Buddhism. Our Authentic Self. A common Western Folk understanding is that Buddhism (or sometimes Zen) is about getting to know, trust and to free your authentic, inner or true self or nature, a self that has been suppressed by social conditioning and other inauthentic factors, but when unleashed is the source of creativity, spirituality, virtue and wisdom. Often the authentic self is identified with Buddha Nature, a pristine aspect of ourselves free from defilement, which is capable of awakening or even already awakened. If these statements do not have a Buddhist origin, where did they come from? The answer is … European Romanticism and its later expressions. As Bhante says, a characteristic of Folk Buddhism is drawing on local culture...
This article was originally published under the name Chris Duggan in the Guardian newspaper’s Face to Faith column in June 2007. These days in the Church of England, “let us pray” usually means “sit down”, whereas a Roman Catholic congregation will take this as an invitation to stand up. This is a trivial example of a favourite pastime of mine: translating words and concepts between religions. Mahmoud Ayoub, a Muslim scholar with a deep knowledge of Christianity, once drew a parallel between the Prophet Muhammad and the Virgin Mary: the prophet brought the Qur’an into the world, and the Qur’an can be seen as the incarnate word of God. It’s much more than a sacred text: its written and spoken Arabic form embody its meaning, and any translation is seen merely as a commentary on the original. Reciting the daily prayers taken from it, with the appropriate movements, could be compared to taking holy communion. The comparison may offend some Muslims and Christians, and history is stuffed with battles fought over creeds and single texts, even over single words such as filioque (“and from the son”) in the western Christian creed – does the Holy Spirit proceed from the Father or from the Father and the Son? Few now even understand the terms of the debate, let alone the passions it engendered. In a world dominated by Middle East conflicts, it is more urgent than ever that words and creeds emerge from the trenches and dare to divest themselves of the armour that is designed to shore up a reassuring sense of identity, under the guise of religious faith. This process has always been a central concern of the mystical tradition of all the world religions: those who penetrate to the heart of their faith invite their coreligionists to go beyond words and concepts to a level of experience that escapes definition. It is at this point that the dialogue with atheism and agnosticism begins. Ibn Arabi, a hugely important thinker from medieval Andalusia, where Christian, Jewish and Muslim ideas freely cross-fertilised, preferred al-Haq to any of the other 99 names of God in the Islamic tradition. If this is translated as “the Truth”, it sounds like a metaphysical entity. If it is translated as “the Real”, or just “reality”, transcendence is brought down to earth, where it belongs. This can spark a train of thought about just what we mean by God, and whether all that believers attach to that loaded word is really the preserve of theism. Is it too much to argue that to speak of God is idolatrous? To avoid the word completely may be impractical for believers, but to hesitate to name what is beyond words is a good discipline. The Jews have long insisted that the letters YHWH that denote God should not be pronounced. I find substituting the word “life” for “God” in religious texts very illuminating. It is tempting to think that the mystic’s “cloud of unknowing” is some transcendental, floaty experience that has nothing to do with the unknowing of the agnostic. And yet the position of the atheist or the agnostic, rejecting any notion of God as a concept that can be defined, has much to teach religious people who think they have the source of everything sussed. So does the inquiring scepticism of a scientist approaching nature with an open mind. Ibn Arabi is not popular with fundamentalist Muslims, but fundamentalism may be another religion we need to translate from. What are we to make of fundamentalism finding security in its certainty that the opposing camp is wrong? Is there a non-pejorative word for that in the language of pluralism? An image stays in my mind of Richard Dawkins, a high priest of fundamentalist atheism, in his documentary The Root of All Evil? He could have been a sixth-century Celtic monk as he flung his arms wide in a wilderness to bear witness to what some might call the glory of creation. Do we dare translate “Creator God” to “the big bang” or “evolution” and back again, to see what might be lost – or found – in translation? © Chris Fewings 2007

Taking pictures is a hobby that can help to release the creative side in anyone. Many people have a passing interest in photography, but it never goes beyond that, due to the amount of information required to become a good photographer. You can begin to cultivate better photographic skills by taking a look at the advice below. Decide what is going to be in your picture. Imagine a window through which you see only a selected portion of the subject. Don’t focus on too many different things. If you are trying to capture an impression, take a couple of photographs instead of just one singe picture that has no detail or focus. It takes experimentation to learn which shutter speed works best in different settings. Photography can help you get that split-second moment or to blur those large time periods. Faster shutter speeds should be used to capture objects in motion, while slower shutter speeds are great for still shots. Framing is an extremely important factor when it comes to photography. Get rid of distracting elements by zooming into your focal point. You will reduce clutter in your photos and prevent unwanted focal points. Instead of waiting until your destination to start recording your trip with photographs, start snapping those photos as soon as your trip starts. You needn’t wait to arrive at your destination to start snapping photos. The trip getting there and back also offers shots that will preserve the whole experience of the trip. Instead of only waiting until you reach your desired location, document your trip there. For example, an airport presents lots of engaging subjects for your photographs. Pictures of off-beat and smaller objects can be a fun addition to your travel scrapbook. These small details may seem unimportant at the time, but they will add color and completeness later, when reflecting back. They will bring back your good memories of the trip. Include items like funny street signs, unusual cultural products available in shops or local items like coins or tickets. Experience with the composition of your photographs to create unique shots, artistic photos and perfectly posed pictures. Such as with the other arts, if composition is lacking, your work isn’t the best it may be. Study different composition methods and practice them. This will make you a much more well-rounded photographer. When you are taking photographs, remember that you do not have to overcrowd it. You should have no reason to have a bunch of clutter or elements in your shot. The art of innocence is really wonderful, so try to keep the shots you take simple. Have some fun experimenting with different expressions, perspectives and scales. You can turn ordinary objects into amazing photographs by changing these aspects. Bring your subject closer to the camera so that it looks larger, or move away so it looks tiny and out of place. Change things up, and create interest or humor in your photos. You can achieve an entirely novel perspective on a familiar subject if you play around with your composition enough. You may be tempted to take low-res photos in order to save space on your storage media, but low-res photos look really bad when you print them. The lowest setting should only be used if the sole purpose of your photos will be to display them on your computer screen. Photography is a common hobby enjoyed by many. Unfortunately, most people do not get into photography because the large amount of information that is available intimidates them.
12 - 15 Months If you are in the habit or reading, talking and singing to your baby, you will now see the rewards of your efforts. He or she will be able to understand more and more. Remember, the more you talk to your baby the smarter he or she will A good time to talk to your baby is while he or she is getting dressed. As you hand them each piece of clothing, name it: sock, shoe, pants, diaper, sweater, shirt. After a few days of this, put their clothes on the floor in front of them and ask your baby to give the clothes to you as you say the item’s name. While bathing, name the toys in the tub and ask them to hand you a specific toy. Try to avoid “NO’s” except when danger is involved! If your baby does something that you do not like, distract them by taking them to another area and giving them something else to do. If baby is about to touch a hot store, use the word “no.” For example: “No, the stove is hot. That will hurt you.” Be consistent when you use the word “no,” so that it means “Stop Things Your Child May Do At This Age - Pick up tiny objects using only thumb and forefinger - Point and probe with forefinger - Release objects awkwardly; throw objects to practice how to release fingers - Hold something out for you to take (Note: doesn’t always let go.) - Experiment with simple ways things fit together - Walk with one or both hands held or actually walk alone - Rock to rhythm while standing alone - Stoop to pick up things on the floor - Climb stairs while holding on to your hand or the banister: (Be sure to supervise!) - May push riding toys backwards instead of pulling them - Introduce toilet training through consistent, positive encouragement. There is no set time to start “potty - Your child’s readiness should be the guide. - When your baby is born, the nervous system, which sends messages throughout the body, has not completely developed. As your baby grows and his body develops, he gains more control over his body’s actions and functions such as: holding his head up, rolling over, picking up small items with his fingers and walking. The same is true for going to the bathroom. Potty training can only occur when he is able to control his bladder and his bowel functions. Babies’ bodies develop at different rates, so be patient! Praise him when he is successful. Do not punish him when accidents occur – they ARE “accidents.” - Lock cabinets, doors and windows as your child begins to move about. - Use a gate to block entrances to stairs. - Supervise stairs and/or use a gate to block entrances. - Your child will love to play with water. Remember, it only takes 4 minutes to drown in less than 2 inches of water. - SUPERVISE at all times whenever your child is playing - NEVER leave open buckets of waterun-attended. - Place medicines, cleaning products, matches and firearms on high shelves behind locked doors.Remove all hazardous substances. Cover all electrical outlets and extension cords that are exposed. - Buckle your child into a front-facing child seat placed in the back eat of the car when you take your child for - Supervise play at the beach, in a sand box or with dirt. She may want to eat the sand or dirt or throw it rather than dig and pour. - Well Baby Check-ups: 12 months (DO it Now!) - Immunization at 12 months: If your baby has not had these immunizations yet, now is the time for HIB, Hepatitis B, and Chickenpox vaccine (optional). - Continue cleaning teeth with a very small toothbrush moistened - Water is as important as food. - Offer small drinks of water two or three times each day - Limit juice to 4 – 6 ounces (1/2 cup) a day. Things You Can Do Every Day To Help Your Child Grow - Read to your child every day. Story time is an excellent way to wind-down before naptime or bedtime. It helps to create a routine: such as “It’s bedtime, get your favorite book so we can read.” - Help your child learn how to hold books – turned right-side up and starting at the front of the book. Teach her that they are fun to look at but should be handled gently. Patiently teach her that books are not for chewing or tearing. (Accidents will happen. Have tape handy to repair torn pages. Do not make a “big deal” out of a bent or torn - Encourage him to express his feelings with words; for example, “Oh, you bumped your head. I know that hurts. Tell me where it hurts.” - Give your child time outdoors. Let him run and play. Climbing in and out of boxes is a favorite game. Remember to watch him closely when outside – he can move pretty fast when he wants to.

Auditors work both for accounting firms and for all levels of government. Just about any organization you can imagine needs an auditor. Nonprofits, large, publicly traded corporations, small mom-and pop-businesses, government agencies, and even some individuals employ the skills of auditors. An auditor will spend the majority of his or her workday going over the details of financial documents and verifying them for accuracy. An auditor must pay attention to the minutia of a client’s financial transactions. Auditing often attracts people who are extremely detail-oriented because paying attention to cash flow and asset allocation all day requires a fine sense of concentration. Some auditors may work as internal auditors. A business hires an internal auditor to work in-house full-time as opposed to hiring out for an auditor from an accounting firm. Internal auditors are responsible for overseeing the financial documents of all transactions made by their employers. Internal auditors check their employers’ records to be sure that all of the transactions and documentation are done legally. They also may make recommendations on how the business could be run more efficiently or where the business may be able to cut costs. Sometimes, internal auditors specialize within certain industries. For example, if you are particularly interested in advertising, you may want to work as an internal auditor for an advertising company in order to integrate your interest into your accounting career. If you work for an accounting firm or are self-employed, as opposed to working as an internal auditor, you will likely spend a great deal of your time at your clients’ sites. Because you are reviewing your clients’ documents and inventories, it is often more convenient to do so on their premises, hence auditors spend a lot of time traveling. You may want to explore accounting careers in auditing if you are looking for a career that will give you opportunities to see new places. However, traveling can affect many aspects of your lifestyle, so whether you want to be away from home may influence your preference in accounting careers. Traveling can be tiresome and take time away from family, but it can also lead you to see something new and expand your accounting career. Auditing also requires you to use a lot of technology and stay up to date on current software. Most auditing is done using spreadsheets and specific programs designed to track data. Auditing technology evolves over time, so accounting careers in auditing fit well for those who enjoy learning to use new technology. Many auditors begin their accounting careers working for large accounting firms. Entry-level salaries at these firms generally range between $50,000 and $60,000 per year, but that may vary based on location and whether you are beginning your accounting career with a bachelor’s or master’s degree. Within about six years, you may be eligible for a managerial position if you remain at a large company. Managerial salaries average close to $100,000 per year, but again, that may vary. Once you have been with an accounting firm for over ten years, you may able to become a partner. Salaries for partners can exceed $200,000 per year in some cases. However, a very small percentage of entry-level employees reach the partner level. This may partially be due to the fact that many auditors decide to go into business for themselves.
If you’ve ever tried printing a large Microsoft Excel worksheet, you’ve undoubtedly encountered some awkward-looking print jobs. Excel’s automatic page breaks don’t exactly take your custom data views into consideration. In order to control exactly which rows and columns appear on your printed pages, you’ll need to insert manual page breaks. Fortunately, this is simple and easy to visualize in Excel’s Page Break view. Getting Excel Ready 1Open your spreadsheet. Click “File,” then “Open,” and navigate to the folder that contains your spreadsheet. Double-click the file name to view it in Excel. 2Open the Page Setup options. Click the “Page Layout” tab at the top of the screen and locate the group called “Page Setup.” To view the options, click the small arrow at the bottom right of the Page Setup group. 3Enable adjusted scaling. On the “Page” tab of the Page Setup options, locate the section called “Scaling.” Select “Adjust to:” and change the percentage to 100%. Click “OK” to save this setting. 4Enter Page Break view. This view allows you to see where automatic page breaks occur (indicated by blue dotted lines). Knowing where the automatic page breaks occur will help you place your new page breaks appropriately. Click the “View” tab and select “Page Break Preview” from the Workbook Views group to launch this view. Inserting and Managing Breaks 1Click the row below your desired horizontal page break location. For example, if you want to place a horizontal page break between rows 4 and 5, select row 5. 2Insert the horizontal page break. Return to the “Page Layout” tab and click the arrow beneath the “Breaks” icon. From the options, select “Insert Page Break.” A thick line will appear where the manual break was inserted. 3Select the column to the right of your desired vertical line break. If you want to insert a vertical line break between columns C and D, for example, select column D. 4Insert the vertical page break. On the “Page Layout” tab, click the arrow beneath the “Breaks” icon, then select “Insert Page Break.” A thick vertical line will indicate the location of your new break. 5Move your page break. If you decide your page break should occur at a different location than where you’ve originally inserted it, hold your mouse over the break until an arrow appears, then drag the arrow to another location. 6Delete a page break. If you decide you no longer want a page break you’ve inserted, it’s possible to delete the break. - Delete a vertical break: Select the column directly to the right of your vertical page break. Click the arrow beneath the “Breaks” icon and select “Remove Page Break.” - Delete a horizontal line break: Select the column just below the horizontal page break, then click the arrow beneath the “Breaks” icon. Select “Remove Page Break.” 7Return to Normal view. If you don’t want to see the page breaks while you work, click the “View” menu at the top of the screen, then select “Normal.” You can switch between these two views as needed. - To get rid of all manually-inserted page breaks, open the “Page Layout” tab and click the arrow beneath the “Breaks” icon. Select “Reset All Line Breaks.” - While Excel’s automatic line breaks cannot be moved or removed, manual breaks will always override them.

Here’s how to create a program that keeps the TI-84 Plus active: - Turn on your TI-84 Plus and press the PRGMbutton to access the program menu. - Create a new program by pressing the right arrow key to select ‘NEW’, then press ENTER. Give your program a name by typing it in using the alphanumeric keys, then press - Enter the program code by typing the following: This code snippet creates an infinite loop, which keeps the calculator from shutting off. Here’s what each part does: While 1: This line starts a loop that will always be true, so it will run indefinitely. End: This marks the end of the loop. Since the condition of the Whileloop is always true ( 1), the loop will run continuously. - Save and exit the program editor by pressing the 2ndbutton followed by - Run the program by pressing PRGM, selecting the name of the program you just created, and pressing The calculator will now run this program indefinitely, which prevents it from sleeping. To stop the program and return the calculator to normal behavior, you can press the ON button to interrupt the program. Please note that running this program will prevent the calculator from automatically shutting off to save battery power, which will result in the batteries depleting faster than they normally would. It’s usually best to let the calculator sleep as intended when you’re not using it to extend the life of the batteries.
Forget illicit drugs and questionable supplements. New research suggests that a small, constrictive band that wraps around an athlete's arms or legs may lead the next wave of performance-enhancing fads in competitive sports. A study published this month in the journal Medicine and Science in Sports and Exercise demonstrated that highly trained swimmers that used a blood pressure cuff to restrict blood flow to their arms a few minutes before maximum-effort time trials improved their performance in a 100-metre race by 0.7 seconds. The study team was led by Greg Wells and Andrew Redington at the University of Toronto's Hospital for Sick Children. So, in just a few minutes' time and with minimal effort, athletes were able to significantly boost their performance, making gains that -- according to the authors -- would normally take an average of two years of intense training to accomplish. The study builds off research first conducted in the 1980s by cardiovascular pioneer Keith Reimer that examined infarcts, areas of dead cardiac tissue that resulted after heart attacks, when blood flow (and, hence, oxygen) were cut off for extended periods of time. Reimer and his colleagues discovered that much less heart muscle deteriorated when the tissue had previously experienced a few training sessions where blood flow was slightly reduced. It was as if practice makes perfect, and the previous bouts of low blood flow, which researchers refer to as ischemic preconditioning, primed the heart muscle to endure more serious, even catastrophic, events. When a life-threatening heart attack transpired, instead of shrivelling away, the preconditioned heart muscle seemed to stand strong. In 2009, a research team led by Maria Hopman from Radbound University in the Netherlands posed a question: If Reimer's team was able to use ischemic preconditioning to protect the cardiac muscle during a heart attack, would the technique protect different types of muscle tissue from the stress and damage that occurs during another type of ischemic event, like exercise? Though immensely different than a heart attack, exercise is technically an ischemic event, as athletic performance hinges on how much blood reaches a tissue. And insufficient blood flow, which also translates to reduced oxygen and nutrient delivery, can be one factor that limits exercise duration and intensity. Hopman recruited 15 healthy, trained cyclists, asking each participant to complete two maximum effort bicycling tests, where the intensity was slowly ramped up over time. But before one of the bicycling tests, the subjects underwent three 5-minute rounds where an inflatable cuff, similar to what's used to measure blood pressure, limited the circulation to their legs, followed by a five-minute rest period where the cuff was deflated. The researchers found that the subjects performed better when they underwent ischemic preconditioning before the exercise trial, touting gains in both maximum power (1.6 percent) and peak oxygen consumption (3 percent). Yet, the performance improvements were not due to differences in heart rate, respiration or lactate levels, all of which seemed to stay the same, regardless if ischemic preconditioning was used or not. Rather, it seemed possible that the ischemic preconditioning treatment may have given the participants their edge. While Hopman's work recorded the benefits conferred to the average athlete, the latest research from Wells and Redington pushes the understanding of ischemic preconditioning one step further, looking at whether the technique works in elite athletes, a group whose bodies run with machine-like efficiency. Using a group of 16 to 18 swimmers who previously competed at the national or international level, the research team devised a double-blind crossover study where the same athletes swam mid-intensity and maximum-effort trials, but on two different days. To counterbalance one of the main criticisms of the earlier studies conducted by Hopman -- that the study design potentially allowed the placebo effect to creep in, inadvertently making participants try harder when they had an inflatable cuff strapped to their legs preceding exercise -- Wells and Redington decided to alter their protocol: On both days of the experiment, a cuff would be inflated on every athlete's arm. On one day, to induce ischemic preconditioning, the cuff would be pumped up enough to surpass the systolic blood pressure, slowing the flow of blood to the arms for four cycles of five minutes. The other day, the cuff was still inflated, but only enough to slightly squeeze the muscles for each 5-minute period, which provided a better sham, or control condition, than Hopman used. Yet it seems that ischemic preconditioning is not a placebo effect at all. Similar to the Hopman's findings in average, healthy volunteers, Wells and Redington found that when elite athletes used ischemic preconditioning before the maximum-effort trials, they swam faster. In fact, the athletes bettered their personal records by 1.1 percent on average. And just as Hopman observed, the performance boost was not a result of heart rate or blood lactate-level differences. Consequently, ischemic preconditioning had no effect on the less rigorous, mid-intensity trials. All of the researchers investigating ischemic preconditioning seem to agree that temporarily reducing the blood flow to a tissue causes protective molecules to be released into the bloodstream. But many are still scratching their heads as to why. Hopman thinks ischemic preconditioning may cause vessels to dilate once blood starts flowing again, increasing nutrient and oxygen delivery to the formerly deprived tissue. Wells and Redington, on the other hand, think altered metabolism of mitochondria -- the energy powerhouses of muscle cells -- may contribute to more energy available for exercise.
Air pollution in OECD countries has fallen in recent years, and is expected to continue to fall in the coming decades, driven by tighter emission regulations. However, substantial increases in air pollution are projected to occur in the key emerging economies. Air pollution concentrations in some cities, particularly in Asia, are already far above acceptable health standards (e.g., the World Health Organization’s Air Quality Guideline) – leading to severe issues with health and millions of pre-mature deaths. The consequences on public health are now being realised. In the UK alone poor air quality causes over 40,000 deaths per year. In China 1.6 million people die each year from heart, lung and stroke problems because of polluted air. Catalytic after-treatment often represents the most cost effective means of controlling emissions to air from stationary sources. ACCESSA will use its voice to demonstrate to regulators and the wider sector that tighter emission control can be met through commercially available and developmental catalytic after-treatment.
By Zahava Moerdler On May 31, the German parliament voted almost unanimously on a resolution that recognized the killing of over 1.5 million Armenians in Turkey in 1915 as a genocide (one MP voted against and one abstained). The decision makes Germany one of only 26 countries, including Canada, France and Russia, to recognize the events as genocide. Turkey became so incensed with Germany’s decision that it recalled its ambassador to Turkey. Recep Tayyip Erdoggen, President of Turkey, threatened further action against Germany while Turkish Nationalist protesters gathered outside the Germany embassy in Istanbul in protest. Germany’s decision is interesting considering that Germany was an Ottoman ally during World War I, and many German officials witnessed the deportations and killings of the Armenian population. Many of those officials remained silent to the atrocity or were complicit, providing weapons and fighting alongside the Ottomans. Some have even argued that the Armenian genocide was the model for the Holocaust. The 2016 resolution acknowledging Germany’s complicity was championed by the co-leader of Germany’s Green Party, Cem Ozdemir, a man with strong Turkish roots, who advocates for Armenian-Turkish reconciliation. Germany’s decision comes at a particularly tumultuous time in Europe. The United Kingdom’s vote on June 24 to leave the European Union. marks a turning point in the history of the E.U. Unfortunately, the rhetoric immediately preceding and right after the vote show growing trends of xenophobia, racism and extremism in Europe. In the U.K., hate crimes have increased 57 percent since the vote, including a racist demonstration outside a mosque and racist graffiti on the entrance to a Polish community center. In Hungary, France and Germany, rightwing nationalist groups have called for their own E.U. referendums. Viktor Orban, Prime Minister of Hungary, has even expressly linked the migration crisis in Europe as a direct cause of the Brexit. Now, more than ever, it is necessary to take lessons from the past so that history is not doomed to repeat itself. As Germany and other nations grapple with the Armenian genocide and their possible complicity in those atrocities, perhaps reflecting on the American genocide can be especially instructive. In 1915, the Young Turk government, a reformist movement against the former Turkish absolutist Sultan Abdul Hamid II, shifted its policy towards the Armenian population within Turkey. While there had been tensions between the Turks and Armenians for generations, the Young Turk government instituted a policy of deportation and premeditated mass extermination. The Ottoman government began transferring Armenian soldiers from the Turkish army into labor battalions where they were either killed or worked to death . On April 24, 1915 , 235 Armenian doctors, clergy, lawyers, politicians and teachers were arrested and murdered in Constantinople, leaving the Armenian community leaderless and vulnerable . Approximately 1.5 million people were deported over the course of eight months. One-half to three-quarters of the Armenian population living in the Ottoman Empire were murdered between 1915 and 1923. The impetus for the genocide was both “Turkifying” the Ottoman Empire, which was fueled by nationalism and the defeats in the Caucuses in 1914 , which the Young Turks blamed on the Armenians in the area. The Young Turks began a campaign to portray the Armenians as a threat to the state. Although there were Armenian nationalists who had cooperated with the Russians during the conflict, the identification of the entire Armenian population as complicit in the acts of a few created a propaganda campaign that furthered hate and fear. Dangerous speech is speech that increases the risk of violence targeting certain people because of their membership in a group, such as an ethnic, religious, or racial group. This includes incitement as well as speech that makes incitement possible by conditioning audiences to accept, condone and commit violence against people who belong to a targeted group. Dangerous speech created the 1915 Turkey, a country primed for genocide. Blaming the Armenians for wartime losses, targeting ethnic minorities as “other” and perpetuating narratives of fear and hate conditioned the Turkish population to act violently and hatefully against a specific group of people. These problematic trends continue today. The refugee crisis has been blamed for the economic instability and terrorism in European countries . As a result, many Europeans have become incensed. In June, the U.K. voted to leave the E.U., a vote that some of posited stems from these frustrations. This rhetoric has come from within the U.K. and abroad, most notably Prime Minister Orban in Hungary. Minorities continue to be “othered” in the U.K. and elsewhere in Europe, as evidenced by recent racist and xenophobic crimes. Finally, populist nationalist groups use narratives of fear and hate to promote their agendas, like other Leave campaigns throughout Europe, thereby stoking the flames of frustration and agitation. Europe is once again at a crossroads, with dangerous speech pushing the continent towards violence, hate, racism and xenophobia. Brexit is merely a single case where racist rhetoric, tied to a national crisis, has yielded hate speech and crimes. What remains to be seen is how the U.K., Europe, the U.S. and the world writ large will respond to these increasingly troubling trends. This is not a British problem. It is not a European problem. It is a global problem. Unless dangerous speech is curbed through the promotion of counter-narratives, the lessons of the past will rear their ugly head. Do not forsake the lessons of the Armenian genocide, especially at a time when justice and recognition have made so much headway. Zahava Moerdler is a 2016 Leitner Center Summer Fellow.

Federal economic update: seniors out of the picture The federal government’s economic update includes no measures to support seniors, ... In Canada, nearly 60% of credit card holders are unaware of the interest rate and 40% are unable to pay off the balance every month. That’s cause for concern! Here are 10 things you should know about credit cards. This is the famous 21-day period where you enjoy your card without paying interest on your purchases. The credit card statement date (and due date) changes each month. For example, if the date is January 25, the due date will be February 15. But for a statement dated February 15, the due date could be March 8. The best way to avoid late payments (and interest charges) is to pay at least 48 hours before the due date, excluding weekends. If your financial institution is the card issuer, payment will be instant or on the same day. Use your institution’s payment alert service (usually free). Even better: reset the account balance to zero when you receive the statement, even if it means using your personal line of credit or mortgage, whose rate is always lower than the card’s rate. You can repay this amount on your payday, with interest at the margin rate. That is going to cost you a lot. For example, if you buy a $1,000 TV and only pay the minimum required (2.5%) and the card rate is 19.50%, it will take you 14 years and 7 months to get your debt down to zero and the interest will have cost you $1443.99! Tip: set up an automatic transfer to your credit card every payday, even if it means making an additional payment at the end of the month to bring the account to zero. To calculate your transfer amount, add up your annual expenses and divide by 26. Want to know how much your credit card debt is costing you and how long it will take to pay it off? Use the Autorité des marchés financiers calculator. And avoid payment holidays, because interest continues to accrue. Phone the card issuer. If this is your first delay and you bring your account to zero each month, they will usually refund you. However, the delay will be recorded on your finances credit file. The first time doesn’t matter. But if it happens more than twice a year, it will affect your credit rating. Borrowing or insuring yourself may then cost you more. This is the best way to damage your credit report. Pay it off right away! Also, if you have five credit cards, but you really only use one, it certainly affects your credit report. Take the scissors to the three newest ones (especially the department store cards). And make a $20 monthly purchase with the card that is not or rarely used. Yes, but they are practically a scam. The interest accrues as soon as you cash them, just like an ATM withdrawal made with the card. Negotiate a line of credit or a personal loan if you need credit. And shred those checks without delay. Bad for your credit report! Keep your total transactions below 30% of the limit. Beware of unexpected overruns: you have $60 left before you reach the limit, you buy $20 of gas, but the pump freezes $100. You exceed the limit and are charged a hefty overage fee. Raise your limit or curtail your lifestyle. Ask the issuer to do so, otherwise cancel your card. Your financial institution can offer you another one… or go elsewhere! Good for you! But if the issuer charges you an annual fee, your rebates are not so attractive. Worse still: the fee could exceed the rebates. In fact, 82% of consumers choose their card based on its loyalty program, but 57% have no idea of their bonus point balance and 38% do not know their value. First: do not accumulate them beyond a few months. Second: the best way to select a card is to make a few comparisons: Choose the card according to your priorities (travel, food, gas). Go for cash back cards. Avoid cards with annual fees. Third: avoid promotional rates, it’s a catch, especially for balance transfers. And if you’re having trouble getting your monthly balance down to zero, forget the bonus points and get a low-rate card.
No one knew what happened to William Olson. At about three in the afternoon on April 13, 1966 he had been swimming with his friends from the Peace Corps in the part of the Baro river that ran through Gambela, Ethiopia when he suddenly disappeared. The last person to remember seeing him was hunter Karl Luthy. One moment Olson was standing in the river, pressing his body against the current, and the next he was gone. Luthy could not be sure, but he was almost certain that Olson had been taken by a Nile crocodile. He and the people who lived in the nearby village had warned the young travelers that swimming in the river was dangerous, especially since a child and a woman had been recently devoured by a crocodile there, but the American visitors did not care. Luthy’s fears were confirmed about a half hour after attack. Just at the edge of sight the crocodile appeared with Olson’s body in its jaws, but rather than go after the animal right away Luthy decided to wait until morning. Rushing to kill the reptile would do no good. Olson was already dead, and if Luthy attempted to shoot to crocodile while it was still in the river both the animal and Olson’s body might be lost. Instead he decided to leave the predator be until morning when it came out of the water to bask in the sun. The crocodile did just as Luthy predicted. It hauled itself out onto the riverbank at about seven the next morning, and after a few attempts Luthy and his client were able to kill it. When they opened it up there could be no doubt that the thirteen-foot long crocodile was the one that had killed Olson. What was left of the young man was placed in a cardboard box. Such tragic events remind us that we are not separate from or above nature. Much like our hominin forebears we can still be prey, and crocodiles are among the animals that have long considered us to be on the menu. Fragmentary remains of fossil hominins from the famous locality Olduvai Gorge, especially, show tell-tale signs that crocodiles consumed the bodies of our ancient relatives, and new fossils from the 1.8 million year old rocks there have identified one of the possible culprits. For years it had been assumed that the Olduvai crocodiles were prehistoric representatives of the Nile crocodiles (Crocodylus niloticus) that still occasionally snatch people from the water’s edge, but when crocodile expert Chris Brochu looked at numerous fragments collected by Jackson Njau and Robert Blumenschine he realized that the Olduvai croc was something quite different. Even though he had only a collection of fragments to work with the paleontologists could tell that this ancient reptile had a deeper snout than its living relative, and the back of its skull was flared up into “horns” of bone that would have given it a unique profile somewhat reminiscent of living Cuban crocodiles (Crocodylus rhombifer). This prehistoric croc would have dwarfed all but the largest of its living relatives, though. Estimated at a maximum length of approximately 25 feet long it would have been a truly frightening ambush predator, and given the tooth-marked hominin bones the the trio of scientists decided to name it Crocodylus anthropophagus in the journal PLoS One. Clearly C. anthropophagus was large enough to kill and consume hominins, but did it really do so? To approach an answer we have to split this question into two. From the fossil evidence collected so far it is clear that some prehistoric crocodiles at Olduvai consumed the bodies of hominins. Tooth marks on hominin bones confirm this beyond reasonable doubt. The question is whether individual C. anthropophagus killed the hominins in the first place. On this point there is no evidence to discuss. It is certainly plausible that C. anthropophagus counted early humans as prey but given the present lack of direct evidence actual predation is difficult to confirm. Even so it is remarkable that we have any evidence that these crocodiles fed on hominins at all. Large C. anthropophagus individuals probably would have pulverized hominin bodies prior to consumption, and once the flesh and bones of the early humans entered the crocodile’s stomach they would be eaten away by powerful stomach acids. (As the authors suggest this means that smaller crocodiles fed upon the hominins represented by the tooth-marked bones.) If hominins fell prey to fully-grown crocodiles it is unlikely that any trace would have been left behind. These caveats aside I do think it is likely that C. anthropophagus at least occasionally fed on hominins. Given the projected size of the crocodile, the habits of its living relatives, and the tooth-marked bones I do not think that a C. anthropophagus would not have much hesitation about gobbling up an unwary hominin if the opportunity presented itself. While we might consider Olduvai to be one of the cradles of our ancestors, a place where stone tools were invented and utilized, 1.8 million years ago the human inhabitants of that place were still prey.

Differing Points of View Towards Pollution There are two main points of view on pollution; that of the environmentalists and that of industry and big business. Basically, the environmentalists want all forms of pollution greatly reduced or eliminated. At the same time, industry and big business say it is too expensive to cut down on pollution. The Kyoto Accord is intended as a way for both sides to have some middle-ground. Countries around the world are signing on to Kyoto, with the exception of the United States, which says it’s too expensive. The environmentalists take great exception to businesses and governments who will not spend money to reduce pollution and attempt to save this planet. They believe that all major forms of pollution should be reduced or eliminated no matter the cost. They are lobbying governments all over the world to step in and impose regulations on businesses in which they are forced by law to reduce the amount of pollution they produce. Some governments are trying to listen to the environmentalists without completely ignoring the businesses that essentially run the economy. This is how the Kyoto Accord came into being. The Kyoto Accord is basically a set of guidelines that are aimed at reducing major forms of pollution, such as greenhouse gasses, that every country which signs must abide by. Since the conditions of the Kyoto Accord are costly to both business and government, some of the more capitalist countries such as the United States have not signed the Accord. Although other, less capitalist, countries have taken even farther steps than are required by Kyoto. One such country is the United Kingdom. “Helen Woolston, head of environment at EEF, the manufacturers’ organization, said the new caps would double the existing Kyoto target of a 12.5% cut which affects six gasses.” (Gow) Although they know the increased cost of exceeding Kyoto’s guidelines, they are doing it anyway. The energy industry in Britain is against the government’s decision to exceed Kyoto’s guidelines. It claims that the government is going too far in its efforts to reduce pollution and it’s costing too much money. “Jeremy Nicholson said: ‘These proposals are counter-productive – they will simply drive industry offshore and raise global emissions…’ ” (Harrison) At this time in history, with our complete reliability on fossil fuels, our economy is run in such a way that causes severe damage to the natural environment. We see in many places, such as the Untied States, where big business and money is far more important than the environment, that environmental regulations are not as strict as they are in most other countries around the world. In the United States, and other similar countries, where business and money is more important than anything else, what is said to the government by business executives and other such rich people is what gets done. So this means the environmentalists, and other “little people” are rarely listened to. Since the environmentalists are not being taken seriously everywhere, pollution is still a major problem. It is a problem that has no economically easy solution. The Kyoto Accord is the first step to save the environment, but it will be a very long time before it has a major impact on the environment because of countries, namely the United States, which will not sign the Accord.
OF EATING RAW The human race learned long ago that cooking meat before eating it would protect them from certain diseases. Since then this practice of cooking has grown to include all types of foods and is now considered an art. Very few meals are eaten which include raw elements, except for the leafy green One advantage of eating raw is that it brings Natures intentions into focus. When I speak of eating raw I am referring to fruit, nuts, and vegetables, which taste good to the majority of humankind in their basic simplicity direct from tree, bush or vine. I realize it isnt easy to simply abandon thousands of years of tradition and revert back to 100% raw food. Margaret Mead once said, It is easier to change a mans religion than to change his diet. So to the point, there are 10 advantages to a diet of fresh, whole raw fruits, vegetables, and nuts, which may lead you to find a greater place for them in your diet. 1. Raw foods are better quality, therefore you eat less to satisfy your nutritional needs. The heat of cooking depletes vitamins, damages proteins and fats, and destroys enzymes which benefit digestion. As your percentage of raw foods increases you feel satisfied and have more energy on smaller meals because raw food has the best balance of water, nutrients, and fiber to meet your bodys needs. 2. Raw foods have more flavor than cooked foods so there is no need to add salt, sugar, spices, or other condiments that can irritate your digestion system or over stimulate other organs. 3. Raw foods take very little preparation so you spend less time in the kitchen. Even a child of 5 or 6 can prepare most items for breakfast, lunch or dinner. This gives children a sense of self-esteem and independence, not to mention the break it gives Mom or Dad. 4. When you are eating raw theres little chance of burns, unless youre in the middle of a forest fire or out in the sun too long. Just think! No burns to tongues, the roof of your mouth, or fingers, and many fewer house fires. 5. Cleaning up after a raw meal is a snap. No baked-on oils or crusty messes. And any inedible parts go directly to the compost pile. 6. Eating a diet of raw foods can reverse or stop the advance of many chronic diseases, including heart disease and cancer. Remember, cooking creates free radicals, which are the major cause of cancer. When you lower the number of free radicals your cells are bombarded with, you lower your risk of cancer. 7. A raw food diet can protect you from acute diseases such as colds, flu, measles, etc. Raw foods maintain a healthy body and a healthy body will not 8. As long as you combine raw food properly according to the rules of Natural Hygiene, you will soon reach a level where you no longer suffer from heartburn, gas, indigestion or constipation. 9. It is environmentally sound. With humanity on a diet of raw foods, the food industry would close up shop and take up organic gardening. This would save us enormous amounts of natural resources used to produce power for these industries. Nuclear power would be clearly unnecessary. And think of how many trees and oil reserves could be saved without the need for the paper and plastics used in packaging our processed foods. There would also be less carbon dioxide released in to the atmosphere when all the cooking stopped and more oxygen produced from all the new orchards and gardens, thus helping to reverse the Greenhouse Effect. 10. Eating raw saves you money on food, vitamins, pots and pans, appliances, doctor bills, drugs, and health insurance. So dont waste your food, yourself, and our planet by cooking what you eat. Fruits, nuts, and vegetables which are whole, fresh and raw are brimming with life and have the ability to transmit their life force directly to you. Susan Jorg, Estacada, OR
Nick Gabaldon, said to be the first known California surfer of African American and Mexican descent, would stop at nothing to catch a good wave. But growing up in Santa Monica in the 1940s, Gabaldon was not welcome at most of Southern California’s beaches because of his race. And yet, he refused to be daunted—when he didn’t have a car to get from Santa Monica to Malibu to surf, he paddled the 12 miles north to get there. Gabaldon’s life and the trail he blazed in surfing, will be celebrated at Santa Monica beach on June 1 with free surf lessons and other activities including a welcome ceremony with surfers paddling out to sea, free admission of the Santa Monica Pier Aquarium and a special children’s story time. Sponsored by Heal the Bay’s Heal the Bay Aquarium, the Black Surfers Collective and Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors Chairman Mark Ridley-Thomas, The Nick Gabaldon Day event, which begins at 9 a.m. and continues through the late afternoon, will also include a screening of the documentary 12 Miles North: The Nick Gabaldon Story at Heal the Bay’s Aquarium at 1.45 p.m. and 4.15 p.m. Dozens of youngsters from the Watts/Willowbrook Boys and Girls Club also will be attending the event as well–many of whom will be visiting the beach for the first time. “Nick Gabaldon’s story is not one of just a surfer,” said Chairman Ridley-Thomas. “It is about a man who refused to be held back by limitations imposed on him. He was determined to live his life to the fullest and paved the way for generations of young people to follow in his footsteps .” Gabaldon’s passion, athleticism and love of the ocean were par for the course for California surfers, but the past-time wasn’t readily available to nonwhites in the 1940’s, a story chronicled in the documentary Whitewash. Whitewash, which will be shown at 2:45 p.m. at the event and explores the complexity of race in America through the struggle and triumph of black surfers. “Even if they had access to the regional beaches, a desire to pursue surfing and the financial means to purchase the necessary equipment, non-whites would have needed courage and dedication to be a participant in this particular, small surfing group that was associated with white Southern Californians and people of the South Pacific,” said Alison Rose Jefferson, a doctoral candidate in Public History/American History at University of California, Santa Barbara and a historic preservation consultant who helped coordinate the event. “Although he experienced a common bond in the water among the surfing community, prejudice was not far away on land in the U.S. or in the ocean.” The Inkwell, as it was called by some, was a derogatory term referencing the “blackness” of the beach-goers’ skin color and it was the popular beach hangout for African Americans during the nation’s Jim Crow era, from the 1900s to 1960s. In 2007 the City of Santa Monica officially recognized the Inkwell and Gabaldon for their cultural significance in local, California and American history. Many who came after him have found his story inspirational. “We didn’t have many black surfing role models,” said Rick Blocker, founder of the website, www.blacksurfing.com, who commissioned a painting of Gabaldon that will be unveiled June 1. “He is someone, like myself, who lived a dream that is outside of convention. I was introduced to the ocean and I really loved surfing. I found my passion in it and when I heard about Nick, the obstacles that he had to overcome were much greater. He was undaunted in his desire to surf.” Gabaldon died in 1951 , doing what he loved; while riding a wave , he collided with the pilings on the Malibu pier. His legacy and impact on local surfing culture , however, has endured. Kai Barger, world pro junior surf champion featured in 12 Miles North: the Nick Gabaldon Story, that Gabaldon’s story serves as an example for people facing any disadvantage or challenge of what can be accomplished with enough determination. “The guys were doing it ahead of me gave me the motivation and drive to do it,” he said.

The Mantle of Kings' Beards THERE were formerly two kings in Britain named Nynio and Peibio. One moonlight night, as they were walking the fields, "See," said Nynio, "what a beautiful and extensive field I possess." "Where is it?" said Peibio. "There it is," said Nynio, "the whole sky, as far as vision can extend." "And dost thou see," said Peibio, "what countless herds and flocks of cattle and sheep I have grazing in thy field? " "Where are they? " said Nynio. "There they are," said Peibio, "the whole host of stars which thou seest, each of golden brightness, with the Moon for their shepherdess, to look after their wanderings." "They shall not graze in my pasture," said Nynio. "They shall," said Peibio. " They shall not," said the one. "They shall," said the other. From contention it came to furious war, and the armies and subjects of both the kings were nearly all destroyed. Rhitta Gawr, King of Wales, hearing of the desolation wrought by these mad monarchs, determined to attack them. Having previously consulted the laws and his people, he marched against them, vanquished them and cut off their beards. When the other Kings of Britain, twenty-eight in number, heard of this, they combined all their legions to avenge the degradation committed on the two disbearded kings, and made a fierce onset on Rhitta the Giant and his forces; and furiously bold was the engagement. But Rhitta won the day. "This is my extensive field," said he then, and he shaved the beards of these kings also, so that he now had the beards of thirty Kings of Britain. When the kings of the surrounding countries heard of the disgrace inflicted on all these disbearded kings, they armed themselves against Rhitta and his men, and tremendous was the conflict. But Rhitta achieved a decisive victory, and then exclaimed, " This is my immense field," and at once ordered his men to shave off the beards of the kings. Then pointing to them, "These," said he, "are the animals that grazed my field, but I have driven them out: they shall no longer depasture there!" After that he took up all the beards and trimmed with them a mantle for himself that extended from head to heel: and Rhitta was twice as large as any other person ever seen. Then Rhitta sent a messenger to the Court of King Arthur to say that he had trimmed a mantle with kings' beards, and to command Arthur carefully to flay off his beard and send it to him. Out of respect to his pre-eminence over other kings his beard should have the honour of the principal place. But if he refused to do it, he challenged him to a duel, with this offer, that the conqueror should have the mantle and the beard of the vanquished. Then was Arthur furiously wroth and said: "Were it permitted to slay a messenger, thou shouldest not go back to thy lord alive, for this is the most arrogant and villainous message that ever man sent to a king. By the faith of my body, Rhitta shall lose his head." Arthur gathered his host and marched into Gwynedd and encountered Rhitta. The twain fought on foot, and they gave one another blows so fierce, so frequent and so powerful, that their helmets were pierced and their skullcaps were broken and their arms were shattered and the light of their eyes was darkened by sweat and blood. At the last Arthur became enraged, and he called to him all his strength: and boldly angry and swiftly resolute and furiously determined, he lifted up his sword and struck Rhitta on the crown of the head a blow so fiercely-wounding, severely-venomous and sternly-smiting that it cut through all his head armour and his skin and his flesh and clove him in twain. And Rhitta gave up the ghost, and was buried on the top of the highest mountain of Eryri, and each of his soldiers placed a stone on his tomb. The place was afterwards known as Gwyddfa Rhitta, Rhitta's Barrow, but the English call it Snowdon.
American Journal of Physical Anthropology doi:10.1002/ajpa.21150 Spouse selection by health status and physical traits. Sardinia, 1856-1925 M. Manfredini et al. Military medical information and data from civil registers of death and marriage have been used to study the role of physical characteristics and health conditions in explaining access to marriage for the male population of Alghero, a small city located in Sardinia Island (Italy), at the turn of 19th century. Literature data about contemporary populations have already demonstrated the influence of somatic traits in the mate choice. The results presented here show that men with low height and poor health status at the age of 20 were negatively selected for marriage. This holds true also in a society where families often arranged marriages for their children. This pattern of male selection on marriage was found to be particularly marked among the richest and wealthiest SES groups. Our hypothesis is that this social group carefully selected for marriage those individuals who were apparently healthier and therefore more likely to guarantee good health status and better life conditions to offspring. In evolutionary terms, the mate choice component of sexual selection suggests that the height of prospective partners could be claimed as one of the determinants, along with other environmental causes, of the observed higher stature of men belonging to the wealthiest social strata of the Alghero population.
Everyone knows it is important to brush, floss, and rinse with a mouthwash to prevent tartar buildup. But do you know why this is important? Or what tartar is? How it gets on your teeth? And what happens if it does? Get the facts straight ahead, courtesy of Alex Bratic Dental Care. What Is Tartar? No matter how well you take care of your teeth at home, you still have bacteria buildup in your mouth. The bacteria join with proteins and food byproducts to create a gooey film known as dental plaque. This gooey crud coats your teeth, gets beneath your gum line, and attaches to fillings or other dental work. Plaque carries bacteria that can attack tooth enamel and end in cavities. Happily, if you remove plaque on a regular basis, you can prevent permanent tooth decay and gum disease. But, if plaque stays on your teeth and hardens into tartar you are on the path towards serious dental trouble. Tartar, also known as calculus, forms below and above the gum line. It is coarse and permeable and can cause receding gums and gum disease. It can only be eliminated using special dental tools. How Does Tartar Affect Teeth and Gums? Tartar can make it more difficult to brush and floss like you should, as it blocks the brushing action. This can lead to cavities and tooth decay. Any tartar that forms above your gum line is bad for you, because the bacteria in it can irritate and damage your gums. Over time, this might lead to progressive gum disease. The lowest level of gum disease is called gingivitis. It can usually be halted and reversed if you brush, floss, use an antiseptic mouthwash, and get regular cleanings from your dentist. If tartar is not eliminated by good dental habits, it can cause pockets to form between the gums and teeth and get infected by bacteria. This stage of gum disease is periodontitis, and in response you immune system sends chemicals to attack it. Unfortunately those defensive chemicals mix with bacteria and bacterial byproducts resulting in damage to the bones and tissues that hold your teeth in place. Some studies even link the bacteria in gum disease to heart disease and other health problems. Your best bet is not to let tartar form. Here’s a home strategy: - Brush regularly, twice a day for 2 minutes a time. Use a brush with soft bristles. Work particularly hard on difficult-to-reach areas like the molars. - Electronic toothbrushes may remove plaque better than manual ones, and they typically have built in timers to help you brush long enough. - Use a tartar-control toothpaste containing fluoride and triclosan, which fights the bacteria in plaque. - Floss religiously. No matter how skilled you are with a toothbrush, dental floss is the only way to remove plaque that gets stuck between teeth. - Rinse daily. Use an antiseptic mouthwash daily to help kill bacteria that cause plaque. - Watch your diet. Oral bacteria thrive on sugary and starchy foods. When they’re exposed to those foods, they release harmful acids. So eat a healthy diet and limit the amount of sugar you consume. Snacks are dangerous, too. Each time you eat, you feed your oral bacteria as well. You don’t have to give up sweets or between-meals snacks. Just be aware of how often you eat them. Brush and drink plenty of water during and after meals. - Don’t smoke. Cigarette consumption seems linked to tartar. Once tartar has formed, only your Alex Bratic Dental Care professional can remove it. So, visit us every 6 months for a dental checkup to remove plaque and tartar that might have formed. Deep Clean At Alex Bratic Dental Care At Alex Bratic Dental Care our first treatment is the clean and scale. Using a small mirror, your dental hygienist uses a scaler to eliminate plaque and tartar around the gum line, as well as in between your teeth. The more tartar there is in your mouth, the more time is needed to scrape the tartar off. After your teeth are free of tartar, the hygienist brushes them with a high-powered electric brush, which makes a grinding noise. Professional cleanings use a paste that smells and tastes like regular toothpaste, but has a gritty consistency that gently scrubs your teeth. Your teeth will then be flossed to remove leftover plaque or toothpaste and your mouth will be rinsed, often with a rinse containing liquid fluoride.

The U.S. government is continuing efforts to move the remains of Native American students who died at government-backed boarding schools dating back to the 1800s. Many of these schools had Christian administrations running them and were active across the United States as part of an effort to force assimilation. Kirby Metoxen, a councilman of the Oneida Nation, spoke at this year’s Winter Talk, which is a gathering of Native American church leaders and is tied to the Episcopal Church. There, based on an article from episcopalnewsservice.org, he presented his experience in 2017 where he walked through the cemetery at the Carlisle Indian Industrial School in Pennsylvania: Some of the cemetery’s headstones indicated the deceased were Oneida. “I came across the name Jemima Metoxen, and that’s my last name,” he said in his Winter Talk presentation. “It kind of took me aback a little bit.” The name on another headstone was Sophia Coulon, a common Oneida last name. Further along was the grave of Ophelia Powless. “My grandmother is a Powless,” Metoxen said. Overcome with emotion, Metoxen struggled to continue his presentation. “I think it affected me, walking through that cemetery, that this is our own,” he said. “These children didn’t ask to be here. How come nobody came to get these kids? It’s forever changed me.” Ophelia Powless died in 1891 of pneumonia, and Jemima Metoxen died in 1904 of meningitis, according to school records. Both were 16. Sophia Coulon, 18, died in 1893 of tuberculosis. In 2019, all three finally were returned home. Their remains were disinterred from Pennsylvania and brought to the Oneida Reservation as part of an ongoing federal repatriation effort. A funeral service for the three girls was held in June 2019 at Holy Apostles. Powless is now buried at the church’s cemetery, while Oneida tribal burial grounds hold the graves of the other two girls. “It was done right for our children, here at Oneida,” Metoxen said. Last June, the U.S. Department of Interior launched a review of boarding school policies going as far back as 1819 that have affected Native Americans like those in the Oneida Nation and others including the Rosebud Sioux Tribe. Some boarding schools, though no longer operating with federal policies of the past, remain operational today.
In September, an estimated 150,000 Canadian students with food allergies will be going to university or college. For first-year students, the transition from high school to post-secondary is a significant change in their lives. While living away from home is a new and exciting experience for most young people, the anticipation for those with food allergies can be entirely different. For those students, the change to a new environment complicates the simple act of eating. From established patterns of knowing where to eat, surrounded by family and friends who know and understand their allergies and how to respond to a severe reaction, to an entirely new situation where that level of familiarity does not yet exist. Students with food allergies have the additional pressure of having to figure out how they can stay safe while on campus, on top of navigating new social circles and the usual nervousness of starting a new phase in their lives. As a parent of teenagers with multiple food allergies, I very much relate to how anxious parents may feel about this transition. These feelings are understandable, in fact, U.S. research from the U.S. shows evidence that teens and young adults are at the highest risk of having an anaphylactic reaction because of their risk-taking behaviours: - Only 61 percent of teens/young adults always carry their epinephrine. - 42 percent of teens/young adults would eat food labelled “may contain”. - 60 percent of teens/young adults tell their friends about their allergy. As parents, we work hard to ensure our children are being vigilant in managing their allergies 100 percent of the time. However, we know they can be inconsistent. I can certainly attest to this being the case with my sons. And even though I know they are fully capable of managing their food allergies, this transition to independence still can be worrisome. That’s why I am so pleased to tell Allergic Living followers about the launch of Food Allergy Canada’s new guide: Managing Food Allergies and Anaphylaxis: A Comprehensive Guide for Post Secondary Institutions. This resource provides Canadian academic institutions with the tools they need to develop a comprehensive framework for supporting students with food allergies. Institutions are provided with specific recommendations on allergen protocols at food-service outlets, campus awareness and education, housing and dining procedures and on options for stock epinephrine auto-injectors. While students are expected to manage their allergies, Canadian universities and community colleges can help by encouraging a supportive and inclusive campus environment – creating a safe setting for the students to disclose their allergies and providing services and supports for managing risks. This guide was inspired by the tragic passing of Andrea Mariano in September 2015, just two weeks into her first year at an Ontario university. Our former Executive Director Laurie Harada, spearheaded the development of this post-secondary guide to help support all students with food allergies and to help them stay safe on campus. Following two years of extensive consultation with over 75 stakeholders from across Canada, we officially launched this guide in May. The response to the launch has been incredible, with almost 60 percent of universities across Canada downloading the free guide. We’re thrilled that more and more post-secondary institutions are factoring in allergy-awareness for their campus environments. However, managing food allergies continues to be a shared responsibility. Here are a few things we parents can do to help prepare our young adults to navigate this new environment: - Visit the campus in advance of the academic year to understand what practices and protocols are in place to help you navigate living with food allergies. - Talk to the food-service department. Together with your son/daughter, speak with food-service management and understand options for meals and the training that staff members receive on managing food allergens. - Have your student connect with their roommate in advance to discuss their food allergies, how to manage the risks, and how they can help in an emergency. - Reinforce to your son/daughter good self-management habits, including: - Letting others know about their food allergies - Recognizing signs of a serious reaction and how to help - Always carrying their epinephrine auto-injectors - Always reading food labels - Always asking about ingredients and food preparation when dining out. Be sure to visit foodallergycanada.ca/campusguide, where you can download your own copy of the guide and get access to additional resources and tools for students and their families. Let us know what you think. And ask the Canadian institution your son/daughter will attend if they have downloaded the guide and what actions they are taking to improve the level of support on campus. Jennifer Gerdts is the Executive Director of Food Allergy Canada.
Learn something new every day More Info... by email Wiring a phone with a new socket and phone line can be as simple as calling the local phone company to install a network interface device and then running the wires independently. A network interface device is a small box that is mounted to the outside of a building to house telephone connections. Connecting a new telephone line entails running a phone wire from the telephone to the box. A phone socket creates an outlet where one can plug the wire into a wall somewhere between the indoor phone and the outdoor box. There are several types of phone sockets, or telephone jacks, and the terminology can get confusing. The type of phone socket needed will depend on the type of phone wiring used. The Registered Jack (RJ) 11 is the most commonly used modular telephone jack, even in areas outside the U.S. Some other types of registered jacks are the RJ14, RJ21 and RJ48. An RJ11 jack specifies a two-wire connection, while RJ14, RJ21 and RJ48 jacks refer to four-, six-, and eight-wire connections, respectively. Telephone socket wiring works with registered jacks to specify a consistent type of wiring pattern. For residential telephone sockets, the phone wire consists of either four wires or two sets of two wires. Each set of two wires corresponds to one phone line. In other words, a single-line configuration will require two of the four wires to be connected. This process is simplified by color-coded wires, with the red and green wires representing the primary phone line. When completing a telephone socket wiring connection at the network interface device or box, the connections are color coded for easy hook-up. The green and red primary phone lines will be connected to the green and red screws, respectively. For connecting a secondary line, the black and yellow wires should be connected to the green and red screws, respectively. Phone socket diagrams are available to help clarify the color codes and conversions between various types of cables. British telephone socket wiring is similar to that in the U.S. in that RJ11 is the most common type of phone wiring. The actual connector on the end of the RJ11 cable is different in Britain than the U.S. version, rendering them incompatible. Telephone socket wiring in other parts of the world also may be similar to the U.S. in terms of wiring, but the design of the actual plugs and outlets varies greatly. @allenJo - Well, you got it right the first time when you said that they were filters. They are both filters and splitters. You may not need to split the home telephone wiring everywhere, but every phone plug needs the filter’s functionality. What the filter does is eliminate a lot of the high frequency noise. You need to do this everywhere you have a phone jack; otherwise it will affect the quality of your DSL signal as well as the quality of your phone calls. Yes, it seems a little counter-intuitive to have these filters sticking out of your phone jacks with nothing attached to them, but that’s just what you have to do. I don’t claim to understand the technology completely myself either. I think that phone plug wiring is rather simple. What I wonder about is the other stuff that I have to attach to my phone plug sometimes. Recently I got a DSL modem. I had to attach a DSL filter to the phone plug. It essentially split the wiring so that I could hook up one part of the phone plug to the modem and the other part to the phone. That much I understood. What I didn’t understand is why I had to attach other filters (they shipped me about four of them) to other phone jacks in the house. These were jacks that didn’t have a modem or a phone attached to them. They were not in use, so why did I need to attach a splitter? One of our editors will review your suggestion and make changes if warranted. Note that depending on the number of suggestions we receive, this can take anywhere from a few hours to a few days. Thank you for helping to improve wiseGEEK!
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The pantun is a Malay poetic form. The pantun originated as a traditional oral form of expression. The first examples to be recorded appear in the 15th century in the Malay Annals and the Hikayat Hang Tuah. The most common theme is love. In its most basic form the pantun consists of a quatrain which employs an abab rhyme scheme. A pantun is traditionally recited according to a fixed rhythm and as a rule of thumb, in order not to deviate from the rhythm, every line should contain between eight and 12 syllables. “The pantun is a four-lined verse consisting of alternating, roughly rhyming lines. The first and second lines sometimes appear completely disconnected in meaning from the third and fourth, but there is almost invariably a link of some sort. Whether it be a mere association of ideas, or of feeling, expressed through assonance or through the faintest nuance of a thought, it is nearly always traceable” (Sim, page 12). The pantun is highly allusive and in order to understand it readers generally need to know the traditional meaning of the symbols the poem employs. An example (followed by a translation by Katharine Sim): Tanam selasih di tengah padang, Sudah bertangkai diurung semut, Kita kasih orang tak sayang, Halai-balai tempurung hanyut. <—jiwang juga ya! I planted sweet-basil in mid-field Grown, it swarmed with ants, I loved but am not loved, I am all confused and helpless. According to Sim, halai-balai tempurung hanyut literally means "a floating coconut shell at sixes and sevens". Selasih (sweet basil) means "lover", because it rhymes with kekasih. Other frequently recurring symbols are the flower and the bee meaning the girl and her lover, the squirrel (tupai) meaning a seducer, and the water hyacinth (bunga kiambang) meaning love that will not take root. Pantuns often make use of proverbs as well as geographical and historical allusions, for example the following poem by Munshi Abdullah: Singapura negeri baharu, Tuan Raffles menjadi raja, Bunga melur, cempaka biru, Kembang sekuntum di mulut naga. <—Wow! bahaya ni! Singapore is a new country, Tuan Raffles has become its lord, Indian jasmine, frangipanni, Blossoms one flower in the dragon's mouth. (Translated by Sim, p.40) This alludes to the foundation of Singapore in 1819 by Sir Stamford Raffles. The last line means a girl who is protected by a powerful man and Sim suggests this may refer to Raffles' wife Olivia. Sometimes a pantun may consist of a series of interwoven quatrains, in which case it is known as a pantun berkait. This follows the abab rhyme scheme with the second and fourth lines of each stanza becoming the first and third lines of the following stanza. Finally, the first and third lines of the first stanza become the second and fourth lines of the last stanza, usually in reverse order so that the first and last lines of the poem are identical. This form of pantun has exercised the most influence on Western literature where it is known as the pantoum. According to one Eddin Khoo, a Malaysian artist who is known for how he documents the traditional arts of Malaysia, such as dikir-barat and the art of wayang kulit : " The pantun is one of the most sophisticated achievements of Malaysian cultural life. The pantun was admired by Victor Hugo and Charles Baudelaire. It was recently made famous by the poet John Ashburrey. The pantun has a very strict abab rhyme scheme. The first 2 lines are embellishments; the 3rd contains a message. The pantun contains a community element to it; spontaneous and people even hold pantun championships." (Eddin Khoo's translation of a pantun that is " banned" from the official pantun catalogs; because the " banned" pantun(s) are erotic. ) Mr. Khoo's English translations of these Malaysian pantun(s) are in the form of English off-rhymes which maintain the 4 line quatraine form and these off-rhymes have a theme to them. Small house with a door to the sea House where the fiddlers play Your fine body; so thin and so free Where my wild heart wants to stray. Translated from the recording of the original: Rumah kecil pintu kalaut Tampat orang mengasi di olah Tubo kecil bagai di raut Besitu tampat hati 'ku jila <— patutlah 🙂 Katharine Sim More than a Pantun: Understanding Malay Verse (Times Publishing International, Singapore, 1987 edition) François-René Daillie La lune et les étoiles: le pantoun malais (Les Belles Lettres, 2000) Agus R.

As the solar wind flows from the sun, it creates a bubble in space known as the "heliosphere" around our solar system. The heliosphere is the region of space under the influence of our sun. The interstellar medium, the matter that fills the local region of our galaxy, is forced to flow around the heliosphere. It disturbs the solar wind so much as to create a secondary bubble around the heliosphere known as the heliosheath, which is filled with heated, slower solar wind. Scientists on the Cassini mission used the Ion and Neutral Camera sensor on the Magnetospheric Imaging Instrument to look at the interaction of these plasma bubbles with the interstellar medium. The scientists also looked at how the heliosphere and heliosheath move through the interstellar medium together. The sensor on Cassini detects hot particles known as energetic neutral atoms at high energies, complementary to instruments on the NASA Interstellar Boundary Explorer mission. This animation starts with our sun and pulls out to show us the heliosphere (gray) and the heliosheath (yellow) of our solar system. As the animation zooms away from the sun, it shows an artist's concept of the interstellar medium (in black arrows) flowing past the heliosheath. The interstellar magnetic field (smoky gray vertical stripes) parts and slides around the bubble of hot, high pressure particles. The interstellar medium contains the bubble and holds it in a more spherical configuration. The colors on the heliosheath represent the intensity of the hot high pressure particles, with red being the most intense, highest pressure. The shape of our solar system moving through the interstellar medium was previously thought to be comet-shaped, with a head pointed into the stream, and a tail flowing downstream. New observations show the shape actually resembles something more like a slippery ball (the hot particles that exert pressure) moving through smoke (the interstellar magnetic field). As the "ball" moves through the "smoke," the smoke bends and parts to let the ball through, then resumes its previous shape after the ball has passed on. At present, this is only hypothetical: New models will be motivated by these measurements, and will provide a more physically accurate basis for the interaction of the heliosphere with the interstellar medium. The Cassini-Huygens mission is a cooperative project of NASA, the European Space Agency and the Italian Space Agency. The Jet Propulsion Laboratory, a division of the California Institute of Technology in Pasadena, Calif. manages the mission for NASA's Science Mission Directorate, Washington, D.C.

Allen’s Rule. One of those things you learn in graduate school along with Bergmann’s Rule and Cope’s Rule. It is all about body size. Cope’s Rule … which is a rule of thumb and not an absolute … says that over time the species in a given lineage tend to be larger and larger. Bergmann’s Rule says that mammals get larger in colder environments. Allen’s Rule has mammals getting rounder in colder climates, by decreasing length of appendages such as limbs, tails and ears. All three rules seem to be exemplified in human evolution. Modern humans tend to be larger and rounder in cooler environments than in tropical environments. Over time, the human lineage has gotten larger … australopiths of the Miocene and Pliocene were smaller than Homo erectus and modern Homo sapiens. In comparing contemporary African modern humans and European Neanderthals, the latter are rounder and have shorter limbs, especially the distal parts of the limbs (forearms and the leg below the knees). In fact, this difference in body proportion is one of the key features that physical anthropologists use to distinguish between regular modern humans and Neanderthals when faced with that task. [Revised and Reposted. Teachers, here is a PDF version of this post (slightly revised for better use as a handout). ] Bunnies demonstrating Allen’s rule. The usual assumption is that these changes in body form are selected for as a result of various environmental pressures, and that these features of body size and shape become adaptive features seen in particular populations. The body shape story is part of the Darwinian story of adaptation as well as, in some cases, the story of racial differentiation among humans or other organisms. And of course, it is all wrong, as usual. Well, OK, not all wrong, but certainly not as simple as one might think. There is a paper just out in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences that looks at body size proportions and Allen’s rule, and that presents (and summarizes from earlier work) some interesting results. But before we look at that, let’s make sure we are on the same page regarding the basic evolutionary models we are messing with here. First, let’s dispense with Cope’s Rule because it really isn’t too important here. The presumption is that bigger is better in enough different ways … to avoid predators, to out compete conspecifics, whatever … that over time there is a trend to get bigger. Bergmann’s rule — mammals get larger in cooler environments — is presumed to work because of the simple relationship between volume and surface area. Mammals, endothemeric creatures that they are, produce heat from their tissues (their volume) and lose it through their skin (their surface). As a a thing … a mammal, a balloon, a color television set, whatever … gets larger in size, the surface area goes up with a function approximated by a linear dimension squared, while the volume goes up with a function approximated by the same linear dimesion cubed. Volume grows faster than surface area, if shape is kept constant, when a thing gets bigger. So, having more heat-engine (volume, tissue) compensates for the increased loss via the surface (skin) in cold climates. Bigness is good in cool climates, and conversely, smallness is good in warm climates. But shape need not stay constant. An object shaped like a sphere will have minimal surface area compared to volume, while an object shaped like a chopstick will have lots of surface area per volume. Getting all lean and gangly is a tropical thing to do, getting all rotund and short-limbed is an arctic thing to do. That’s Allen’s Rule. Shortening the limbs, tail, and in some cases, ears gets the roundosity that the cool-climate mammal benefits from. This rule-like patterning of body size and shape has been observed within species and among related species distributed across climatically diverse geographical areas, or over time. Bergmann’s rule has been observed in pack rats tracking climatic changes during the Pleistocene; Humans are said to vary in this matter, with tropical proportions being distinct from arctic proportions; rabbit species go from round short eared and short tailed forms to lanky long eared and long tailed forms, and so on. But not all body size and shape effects that may in fact be tracking environmental clines are genetic. For instance, body size may be very much a function of diet and not genes, depending on the population. The paper at hand examines Allen’s rule in this regard. From the abstract: Most of that probably makes sense to the average science minded reader, but the term “genetic assimilation” may require some explanation. This is where a variant of trait…a measurable feature that look different across individuals…is found to look a certain way in a given population because of something non-genetic. Like, for instance, all people living in Canada wear warm hats in the winter. Then, over time, a genetic “answer” to the problem being addressed to the original trait happens to emerge and spread. So, at some point, a genetically determined form of hair that provides extra insulation emerges among Canadians and slowly spreads across the population, so a couple of thousand years later you see very few warm hats and mostly furry-headed people in Canada. In the more realistic situation referred to here, rabbits move into a cooler environment and adapt in a variety of ways including how their limbs end up growing (not of the adult rabbits that first moved there, but of their offspring) but later this phenotypic adaptation is augmented by genetically determined changes as selection works on whatever variation is in the population to make shorter limbs, and over time, the limb proportion of the rabbits is mostly genetic while it was originally mostly not genetic. Allen’s Rule documents a century-old biological observation that strong positive correlations exist among latitude, ambient temperature, and limb length in mammals. Although genetic selection for thermoregulatory adaptation is frequently presumed to be the primary basis of this phenomenon, important but frequently overlooked research has shown that appendage outgrowth is also markedly influenced by environmental temperature. Alteration of limb blood flow via vasoconstriction/vasodilation is the current default hypothesis for this growth plasticity, but here we show that tissue perfusion does not fully account for differences in extremity elongation in mice. We show that peripheral tissue temperature closely reflects housing temperature in vivo, and we demonstrate that chondrocyte proliferation and extracellular matrix volume strongly correlate with tissue temperature in metatarsals cultured without vasculature in vitro. Taken together, these data suggest that vasomotor changes likely modulate extremity growth indirectly, via their effects on appendage temperature, rather than vascular nutrient delivery. When combined with classic evolutionary theory, especially genetic assimilation, these results provide a potentially comprehensive explanation of Allen’s Rule, and may substantially impact our understanding of phenotypic variation in living and extinct mammals, including humans. In short, body proportions can be local non-genetic adaptations, or arise as a combination of genetic and ontogenetic causes. This paper further suggests that the non-genetic parts of the mechanism are different than previously thought. The following photograph demonstrates the effect of enviornment on limb proportion. The researchers grew mice in very different temperatures, and low and behold, the mice grew up with different proportioned limbs. The same effect is seen when little mouse bones are grown in vivo: And here’s a graph showing the in vivo effects of cold, control, and warm grown metatarsals over two and four days. The colder the setting, the shorter the bone. From the paper’s conclusion: From an evolutionary perspective, Allen’s ”extremity size rule” may not actually reflect a functional genotypic adaptation in some or even many homeotherms (9, 10), but may instead be partially or wholly dependent on environmental temperature; that is, a secondary growth response to ”facultative extremity heterothermy” in mammals that maintain constant core body temperatures. One would assume that significant differences in limb proportions between species that follow Allen’s rule are genetic, even if there is a phenotypic effect. I know of no widespread reports that tropical animals kept in temperate zoos or temperate or arctic animals raised in zoos in warmer climes show major body proportion shifts. On the other hand, since zoos can buffer the environment, especially for baby animals, and no one has looked for this specifically, I’m not taking any bets. Within species … across clines or subspecies … this raises very significant (and addressable) questions regarding adaptation in the genetic vs. the ontogenetic realms. If Allen’s rule is primarily an ontogenetic effect in some species, one can still consider the possibility that it is adaptive, but the nature of adaptation becomes somewhat more nuanced.

A mysterious ring of microwaves 06-06-2016 05:01 PM CEST europeanspaceagency posted a photo: Fifty years ago, astronomers discovered a mystery. They called it Loop I. Today, we still have not fully resolved the mystery of how this giant celestial structure formed but we do now have the best image of it, thanks to ESA’s Planck satellite . Loop I is a nearly circular formation that covers one third of the sky. In reality, it is probably a spherical ‘bubble’ that stretches to more than 100º across, making it wider than 200 full Moons. Its absolute size, however, is extremely uncertain because astronomers do not know how close it is to us: estimates to the centre of the bubble vary from 400 light-years to 25 000 light-years. What they do know is that the structure shows up in many different wavelengths, from radio waves to gamma rays. Planck sees Loop I in microwaves. This image’s colours reflect the polarisation – the direction in which the microwaves are oscillating. Our eyes are not sensitive to this information in the visible light, where we perceive only the intensity and colour. Planck, however, can detect all three of these characteristics in the microwaves it targets. The microwaves detected by Planck are emitted by electrons that are being accelerated by the Galaxy’s magnetic field. Loop I is most visible in the sky’s northern hemisphere. Astronomers refer to this portion as the north polar spur. It can be seen in this image as the yellow arc. This fades to purple and can be traced into the southern hemisphere, completing the circle. The blue band spanning the image horizontally is the Galactic Plane. The most popular interpretation places Loop I close to us. If this is correct, it could be related to the ‘Scorpius–Centaurus OB Association’, a region of high-mass star formation that has been active for over 10 million years. Loop I could well be a supernova remnant, a giant bubble hollowed out by the explosion of stars in the OB association. The stars responsible for Loop I have long since dispersed, so what we see is the ‘smoke’ rather than the ‘fire’ of the explosions. High-mass stars burn their nuclear fuel so quickly that they live only a few million years before exploding. As these titanic supernovas bloom, their blast waves carve bubbles in the surrounding gas. This compresses the Galaxy’s magnetic field into the bubble ‘walls’, making it stronger and more efficient at accelerating the electrons to produce the observed radiation. Loop I could well be the combined super-bubble from a number of such cataclysms. As the electrons lose energy and diffuse into the wider Galaxy, so Loop I will eventually fade and disappear. This is likely to take a few million years. If the loop is more distant, then it could conceivably be the result of an outburst from around the black hole at the centre of the Galaxy. (A version of the image showing the position of Loop I is available here . The colour represents the direction of polarisation, while the brightness of the colour measures the intensity of polarisation.)

UGC 4879 is an irregular dwarf galaxy – as the name suggests, galaxies of this type are a little smaller and messier than their cosmic cousins, lacking the majestic swirl of a spiral or the coherence of an elliptical. This galaxy is also very isolated. There are about 2.3 million light years between UGC 4879 and its closest neighbour, Leo A, which is about the same distance as that between the Andromeda Galaxy and the Milky Way. This galaxy’s isolation means that it has not interacted with any surrounding galaxies, making it an ideal laboratory for studying star formation uncomplicated by interactions with other galaxies. Studies of UGC 4879 have revealed a significant amount of star formation in the first 4-billion-years after the Big Bang, followed by a strange nine-billion-year lull in star formation, ended 1-billion-years ago by a more recent reignition. The reason for this behaviour, however, remains mysterious, and the solitary galaxy continues to provide ample study material for astronomers looking to understand the complex mysteries of starbirth throughout the Universe.

Gaelic Nova Scotia: Tradition in a Modern World. An editorial for Gaelic Awareness Month by Seumas Watson The matter of Gaelic language in Nova Scotia has been a subject of discussion for its advocates for nearly two hundred years. The question most asked is: will Gaelic die? Whatever will be, the Gaelic language yet lives in Nova Scotia and the month of May has been designated to celebrate its achievements. If one examines the history of Gaelic in Nova Scotia, it is evident that much dedicated work has been done to ensure the language's future. Going back to the turn-of-the-century's Gaelic publication Mac-Talla, we read about a Gaelic environment much different from that of today's. It was during this era that Gaelic suffered the most as it began to decline in usage. The ongoing struggle for its maintenance was initiated by its faithful around that period. As so often happens, opinions change over time and understanding deepens. It is now apparent that Nova Scotia's Gaelic language has taken a substantial step in the right direction. The new world we live in today is governed by information. Accordingly the Age of Information brings with it many new opportunities for Gaelic and the Gael. Nova Scotia's Gaelic speaking regions no longer exists in isolation. Every year sees an increase in the number of tourists seeking Gaelic cultural experiences in Nova Scotia. In years gone by, Gaelic's champions bore a vision of fidelity to their forebearers’ traditions. Their contribution has been immeasurable. It is now widely understood that Gaelic culture must also include an economy to continue its progress in modern terms. Gaelic Month proclaims the efforts of the old and new. Lets praise them all and keep up the Gaelic. Seumas Watson (1949-2019) was the manager of Gaelic Interpretation and Education at The Highland Village Museum/An Clachan Gàidhealach.

North is South, Winter is Summer and widdershins is deosil. The South African experience of Paganism is topsy-turvy compared to our Northern brothers and sisters; but much like the Afrikaans saying, “ʼn boer maak ʼn plan,” Pagan South Africans make do with what they have and make it their own. Africa's Ant Riders Astride his ‘stead’ he majestically sits; chest puffed, shoulders back and head held proud. He is of the Abatwa and he would look down on you even though his ‘stead’ is an ant and his height is matched with that of a fat pea. Some would group him with the realm of faery, but the Abatwa are proud little warriors and you would caution to ever call an Abatwa small. Found in Zulu mythology, the Abatwa are humans who look just like the Zulu peoples, with one exception- they are so small they can ride ants and hide under a blade of grass. In Zulu folklore it is believed that when the nature spirit Vash’Nok cried, his tears fell to the earth; and at the moment those tears touched the ground, they erupted into the Abatwa peoples. Just like the ants they ride, the Abatwa are believed to live largely underground in tunnels that reach deep into the earth. The complex twists and turns of their subterranean homes echo prideful nature and everything from the walls to the floor is lavishly decorated with seed mosaics and paintings. But it is believed that they don’t inhabit these homes forever and that they are more nomadic in nature. The Abatwa rely on hunting for their primary food source. When they travel it is rumoured that an entire tribe can fit upon one horse, one Abatwa sitting behind another all the way from the horse’s neck to its tail. It is by this mode of transportation that they hunt, following game and killing it. And much like the ants they also ride, the entire tribe will devour every last morsel of the kill before moving on to the next hunt. However, they have been known to forage for seeds between hunts to satisfy their hunger. Being highly skilled warriors and hunters regardless of their diminutive size, they make use of tiny spears and poison-laced arrows. The Abatwa don’t restrict the use of their weapons to game only though. If one of their ant-like mounds is disturbed by naughty children or you happen to offend one, an Abatwa won’t hesitate to fire arrows on you. Thankfully the poison of their arrows is only enough to kill small game, so at worst you can expect a nasty crop of boils where you’ve been struck; but some legends say that their arrows can indeed be fatal to humans. So crossing paths with an Abatwa could mean the difference between life and a nasty prick from their arrows. While they may be peaceful and relatively shy, they are easily offended; even just looking down at them is an insult to the Abatwa and the discovered Abatwa will ask you, “From where did you first see me?” To save yourself and the situation it is best to stroke their plump egos by replying, “from that mountain far off in the distance,” or, “from miles out to sea”. Either answer will reassure the offended Abatwa that their stature is so great, it is visible from lengthy distances. But not everyone may find an Abatwa. In Zulu folklore it is said that children younger than four and magicians can see an Abatwa. That special sight is also extended to pregnant women, who were granted to know the sex of their unborn child by an Abatwa. And sometimes, on very occasions, an Abatwa may reveal themselves to human men so they can share their intimate knowledge of the land with them. The Abatwa may be brave and small and proud, but like so many mythical creatures there is an aspect of them that could be based in reality. When the Nguni peoples migrated from Central Africa to what is now the region of Kwa-Zulu Natal in South Africa to form the Zulu tribes, they encountered the indigenous San tribes. The San people are short in stature and are hunter gathers who rely on bows and arrows to catch game, sometimes lacing arrows with venoms and poisons. It could be that the fledgling Zulu tribes were reminded of a similar, short-statured tribe in Central Africa, the Batwa tribe, in the appearance of the San peoples, and as such called them ‘Abatwa’. What is not certain though is whether the legend of the ant riders was born of this, or whether it is a legend that is far older. What is sure is that the story of these little people has become a part of South African folklore and is here to stay. So next time you see an anthill, you may want to think twice about disturbing its inhabitants lest you find an Abatwa and his poison arrows. Please login first in order for you to submit comments
Infantile colic is one of the most common causes of complaints and referrals to infant clinics . Based on Wessel’s criterion, the term infantile colic is used in cases of infants who cry more than 3 h a day and more than 3 days a week with symptoms lasting over 3 weeks, if other pathological causes have been eliminated . The prevalence of this disorder in infants has been reported to be between 8 and 40% [1-3]. The exact etiology of this disorder is unknown. Some possible gastrointestinal, biological, and psychological causes have been raised in this regard. Some etiological studies considered the disorder to be linked to impaired intestinal motility and gastrointestinal spasms due to an imbalanced autonomic system . The unclear etiology and lack of an effective and safe treatment have made it difficult for physicians to deal with parents who are seeking help and guidance on infantile colic. Therapeutic interventions include eliminating bovine milk from the diet, the use of oral herbal extracts, use of intestinal contractions and anticholinergic drugs as well as behavioral interventions such as cradle song and shaking the infant [1-5]. However, these interventions are often not very effective or cause side effects in some infants. Therefore, a lot of physicians and parents are still unable to control the disorder in spite of most therapeutic interventions . Topical treatment of gastrointestinal disorders using medicinal plants is a therapeutic approach emphasized in Iranian traditional medicine [7-8]. Medical History and Examination according to Modern Medicine A two-month old male infant with severe colicky abdominal pains for 5 weeks was referred to the pediatric clinic, Sabzevar University of Medical Sciences. The infant's parents complained of the baby's continuous and intense cries. Colic-driven cries of the infant had begun 21 days after birth and increased gradually to 5 h a day and his parents found it difficult to control the disorder. Following a normal and uncomplicated parturition the infant was born with a birth weight of 3.260 kg. The infant was exclusively breastfed and was normal in examinations of growth and physical development. The infant weighed 4.950 kg upon normal physical examinations and initial tests at the time of referral. Therapeutic interventions had already been used for the infant. The mother was advised to place restrictions on dairy consumption and flatulent substances. Also, a variety of anticholinergic drugs had been administered for 3 weeks to the infant. Despite all the interventions, there was no significant improvement in the infant’s crying and the parents were not satisfied with the treatment process. Medical History and Examinations according to Iranian Traditional Medicine The subject was a two-month old male infant with white skin and short brownish-black hair. The abdomen was slightly swollen and cold to the touch. The stool was 2 to 3 times a day with brownish and sometimes greenish appearance associated with gas excretion. The temperament of the digestive tract was inclined towards coolness and wetness, though, the overall body temperament seemed hotter. Other examinations of the infant were normal. The infant’s mother complained of stomach acid reflux and severe bloating, and was overweight (8 kg) compared to pre-pregnancy (BMI = 28). Measures to Protect Health and Nutrition: The mother was advised to avoid cold, watery, and flatulent foods. Eating measures were also trained to the mother. Parents were advised to rub chamomile oil topically on the infant’s entire abdomen twice a day in addition to previous treatments. Chamomile oil was prepared from the flowers of Matricaria chamomilla plant on the basis of sesame oil based on Iranian traditional medicine books. In order to exclude skin allergy, it was recommended that a small amount of the ointment be applied on the infant's arm and if the skin was not sensitive, to use more widely on the abdomen. The mother was trained to rub chamomile oil rotationally over the entire abdomen after breastfeeding three times a day. There was a reduction in the infant’s crying time by about 30 min at the end of the first day of intervention compared to the pre-treatment day. The decreasing trend in crying time continued into the next few days so that the infant’saverage crying time was 2 h shorter (3 h within 24 h) than the pre-treatment day at the end of the seventh day of treatment. There was also a decrease in the frequency of infant’s crying. In addition, the topical application of chamomile oil could increase the infant’s sleep duration to 58 min in 24 h. It is noteworthy that the parents were highly satisfied with the treatment procedure of the infants. The present report indicates that the topical use of chamomile oil on the abdomen of an infant with symptoms of crying, irritability, and insomnia caused by infantile colic reduced crying time during the day in the subject examined, followed by a daily increase in the duration of the infant’s sleep. Infantile colic is a common problem in infants, for which a definite cure is still unidentified due to its unknown etiology . The oral use of synthetic drugs in infancy can be associated with many side effects; however, chamomile oil accounts for a safe and low-cost gastrointestinal drug. One of the most important therapeutic consequences of chamomile oil is its beneficial effect on the digestive system. Chamomile has long been used extensively for gastrointestinal disorders throughout the world. Spasm or colic, bloating, and gastrointestinal tract inflammation are some of the disorders cured traditionally with the use of chamomile . Chamomile flowers contain two categories of hydrophilic and lipophilic compounds. Lipophilic compounds such as chimazolin, matrixin, bisabavalol and its oxides show outstanding anti-inflammatory effects. Hydrophilic compounds such as flavonoids (epinephrine zhenin) and coumarins have potent spasmolytic effects which can be generally used as anti-inflammatory agents, antispasmodics in muscle cramps, carminatives, and sedatives as treatments for infantile colic [10-11]. Since the inhibition of Camp and cGMP phosphodiesterase is a known mechanism of the spasmolytic effect of drugs, chamomile extract has an inhibitory impact on cAMP phosphodiesterase activity and also a therapeutic effect on digestive tract spasm. Chamomile is also prescribed for colicky pains in infants, menstrual pains, and uterus crampsdue to its antispasmodic properties [12-13]. Several studies have demonstrated the effect of oral chamomile on infantile colic. In this regard, Savino et al. (2005) evaluated the impacts of chamomile, fennel extract, and lemon balm on the reduction of crying time in infants and also in the treatment of colic in breastfed infants. They found that crying time in infants decreased to 85.4 and 48.9% in the intervention and control groups, respectively . Weisman et al. also examined the effects of a herbal tea containing chamomile, fennel, and licorice on infantile colic and showed a significant difference between the intervention and control groups in the number of infants waking up after colic attacks with a reduction of colic symptoms in 57% of infants in the intervention group resulting from the tea use . The present study investigated the topical use of chamomile oil to treat colic based on the principles of Iranian Traditional Medicine. Topical use and effective transfer of drugs through cutaneous penetration into the gastrointestinal tract is one of the methods emphasized for the treatment of gastrointestinal disorders in Iranian traditional medicine. From the viewpoint of traditional medicine scholars, the influence of the topical use of drugs on the digestive system is faster and less complicated compared to oral medication in some disorders . Chamomile is one of the herbs that affects the digestive system (from the perspective of Iranian Traditional Medicine) and can be effective in the control of colic by exerting its heating, lysis, and carminative properties . Recent studies also indicate that flavonoids are well absorbed through the skin and that apigenin as the most important therapeutic metabolite of chamomile has the highest rate of cutaneous absorption. Other flavonoids in chamomile such as quercetin, patuletin, and luteolin can also be absorbed through the skin to reflect their therapeutic properties . When used topically, polysaccharides display anti-inflammatory properties, which form the basis of chamomile use in wound healing . Some studies have noted the permeability of plant metabolites as well . In this regard, Cetinkaya et al. studied 40 infants of ages 2-6 weeks to evaluate the effectiveness of massage therapy using lavender oil in the treatment of infantile colic. They showed that topical massage with lavender oil has positive therapeutic effects on infantile colic . The above evidence suggests that there is potential in the use of topical drugs to treat gastrointestinal disorders. Topical application of chamomile oil to ameliorate and reduce infantile colic symptoms seems to be a proper, effective, available, and low-cost approach that is simple and easy to use for the relief and betterment of the disorder, and can easily be used on the infant’s abdomen by the mother. Another noteworthy point is that this method has no side effects in the high-risk group, that is newborns and infants as it is well tolerated. In addition to the above, other therapeutic effects such as reducing bloating and abdominal distension, preventing constipation and bowel obstruction, reducing restlessness as well as increasing the duration and quality of sleep in infants are expected owing to the systemic absorption of topical chamomile oil. Nonetheless, more comprehensive studies are needed to further confirm these results.

This article originally stated that the Taíno were extinct, which is incorrect. Nature apologizes for the offence caused, and has corrected the text to better explain the research project described. This is, of course, nonsense. How timorous has the modern scientific culture become, that it is willing to acquiesce so easily, lest one be perceived as not having sufficient "sensitivity" in matters ethnic? When we say that the Taíno are extinct, we are, in fact claiming that a population group is extinct. We do not say that pieces of DNA are extinct, or that words in a language are extinct. There are pieces of Taíno DNA in modern Puerto Ricans, and there are Taíno words in the Spanish spoken there. But the Taíno group is extinct. For example, you will not found any aurochsen (Bos primigenius) in Europe today, even though they did pass on some of their genes to modern European cattle. The aurochsen are extinct, even though some of their genes persist. You can say that modern European cattle are just Bos taurus influenced by Bos primigenius in Europe, but you can't say that B. primigenius is in existence today. Similarly, there are Etruscan words and genes floating around in Europe today, but there are no longer any Etruscans. The Etruscans are extinct. There were, there are not => they are extinct. A group is defined by a set of common genetic (and, in some animals, cultural) features. The survival of a few of these features is not the same as the survival of the group. The fact that some modern humans have preserved bits of Neandertal immunogenetics does not reverse the fact of Neandertal extinction, because Neandertals were not reducible to bits of their immune systems. It is well-known that Egyptian pyramids have been used for building materials since the demise of ancient Egyptian civilization. If the building blocks of the pyramids had all found themselves in Cairo buildings, we would be justified in saying that "the pyramids are gone", because the arrangement of parts called "pyramids" was no longer in existence, even though their parts remain. It is somewhat ironic that the same crowd of "ethnically sensitive" people can simultaneously propose that differences between races and ethnic groups have no biological basis, and, at the same time, affirm the non-extinction of an ethnic group precisely on account of its having preserved a few bits of distinctive DNA. Let us suppose, for the sake of argument, that five hundred years into the future, there is a United Europe, with English as its common language. Further suppose, that in a province of that United Europe, say Finland, the population's gene pool is composed of 10% current Finnish DNA and 90% other European/non-European DNA. Would we be justified in saying that the Finns were extinct? Bits of our DNA have reached us from the remotest depths of time, joined, more recently, by bits of our culture. They aggregate, for a time, into distinctive biocultural packages, such as the Taíno, they are transformed, and then they are dissolved: some dying out, some latching onto new units. The Taíno are extinct, but parts of them remain.
6to4 allows IPv6 Packets to be transmitted over IPv4. It's used to connect two IPv6 'islands' - not enable IPv4 to talk to IPv6 or vice versa. IPv6 address 2002:AABB:CCDD:: becomes IPv4 address AA.BB.CC.DD and you slap a IPv4 packet header onto the IPv6 header, and forward that sucker off through the IPv4 network. If I send a packet from one IPv6 Island in the 2002:AABB:CCDD:: space to another, my local 6to4 border router will recieve it, wrap it in IPv4 to AA.BB.CC.DD and forward it there. AA.BB.CC.DD is another 6to4 border router on an island who unwraps the IPv4 and sends it to the IPv6 address. If I send a packet from an IPv6 Island in 2002:AABB:CCDD:: to a native IPv6 address like 2054::45, it will go to my border router who wraps it in IPv4 to 220.127.116.11 - the IPv4 anycast 6to4 Relay Router address. The nearest relay router (which could be run by anyone) will get it and unwrap it and forward it to the IPv6 address specified. To reply, 2054::45 will reply to my 2002:: address, which will be routed to the nearest relay router (who advertises it handles 2002::/16). The relay router will then wrap it in IPv4 to the AA.BB.CC.DD address where it goes to my border router, is unwrapped and sent to me. I think I understand that right. It's 6rd I'm having problems with. Sending a packet from my IPv6 Island to another 6rd island is the same as sending to a native IPv6 address - right? Because the ISP's 6rd router is in its assigned IPv6 address space, the IPv6 routers don't know it's a 6rd island. If the 6rd island I'm trying to contact isn't connected to the broader IPv6 Internet - there's no way to reach it, right? It would need to go over IPv4, but my 6rd border router doesn't know how to turn an arbitrary IPv6 address into an IPv4 address... does it? And on the reverse trip, there's no 6rd relay router in the IPv6 internet to translate an IPv6 packet to what looks like a normal IPv6 address into IPv4 and send it to the right location. Inside a single ISP: 6rd island - [6rd Border Router] - IPv4 ISP Internet - [6rd Border Router] - 6rd Island This works fine, because the ISP controls the routes and can add routes to the 6rd Routers saying "If you're trying to reach 2054::something, send it over IPv4 to a.b.c.d. But I don't understand how 6rd routes over the broader IPv4 or IPv6 Internet.
In September 1862, Union troops were soundly defeated by Confederate forces led by Stonewall Jackson and Robert E. Lee at Manassas Junction, Virginia. The North called it the Second Battle of Bull Run. President Abraham Lincoln’s somber mood afterward was recorded in a diary entry by Attorney General Edward Bates, who wrote that Lincoln “seemed wrung by the bitterest anguish—said he felt almost ready to hang himself.” Soon afterward Lincoln wrote out a private musing on a small piece of lined paper. He sought to discern the will of God among the cacophony of voices all around him after news of one of the most discouraging defeats of the war. Ronald C. White Jr.'s most recent book is The Eloquent President: A Portrait of Lincoln Through His Words (Random House). He teaches American intellectual and religious history at San Francisco Theological Seminary.
Conservation groups achieve a significant milestone, taking Utah to court over its failure to protect the vital Great Salt Lake ecosystem. Conservation groups are taking legal action against the state of Utah, accusing it of neglecting the ecological well-being of the iconic Great Salt Lake. This landmark lawsuit aims to compel state leaders to take decisive steps towards the lake's preservation, amid warnings of impending ecological disaster. The Great Salt Lake, a cornerstone of the western U.S. landscape, is renowned as the largest saltwater lake in the Western Hemisphere and the eighth-largest terminal lake globally. It plays a pivotal role in supporting diverse wildlife, particularly migratory birds, and bolsters Utah's economy with its contribution of billions of dollars. However, this crucial ecosystem is under severe threat. Sources reveal that upstream water diversions are severely depleting the lake's water levels, pushing it towards a point of no return. This decline not only spells disaster for the lake's ecological balance but also poses significant risks to public health across the region. The legal challenge, filed in 3rd District Court, leverages the public trust doctrine, accusing the Utah Department of Natural Resources (DNR) of failing in its duty to safeguard this vital saline ecosystem. The consequences of the lake's depletion are far-reaching, with exposed sediments potentially releasing harmful particulates and toxins, such as arsenic and mercury, into nearby communities. Dr. Brian Moench, President of Utah Physicians for a Healthy Environment, warned of a looming public health crisis reminiscent of similar disasters in other regions where saline lakes have dried up. “Utah’s leaders are prioritizing these water diversions over protecting their own people, so the courts must intervene,” Moench stressed. The lawsuit, backed by Earthjustice, a non-profit environmental law organization, seeks a court order for Utah's leaders to implement effective solutions to ensure the lake receives sufficient water for its survival and the well-being of the dependent communities and wildlife. Highlighting the critical state of the lake, Stu Gillespie, Senior Attorney for Earthjustice’s Rocky Mountain office, pointed out the state's legal obligation to protect this resource. “The Great Salt Lake belongs to the people of Utah," Gillespie said, emphasizing the state's failure to respond adequately to the crisis. The lawsuit gains further weight from voices like Deeda Seed, a Utah Campaigner at the Center for Biological Diversity, who underscored the lake's importance to northern Utah's population and its unique biodiversity. Similarly, Michael J. Parr, President of the American Bird Conservancy, stressed the global significance of the lake for various bird species, advocating for water management decisions that prioritize ecological and economic needs. As the case unfolds, the National Audubon Society has highlighted several bird species, like the Wilson’s Phalarope and the Eared Grebe, that face dire consequences if the lake continues to decline. This lawsuit emerges against a backdrop of growing public concern, with recent polling indicating that drought and the deteriorating state of the Great Salt Lake are among the top environmental worries for Utah residents. In conclusion, the lawsuit represents a critical juncture for the Great Salt Lake, a symbol of Utah's natural heritage. It calls for immediate and substantial action to avert an ecological catastrophe that would have far-reaching consequences for the region's environment, economy, and public health.

The earth is warming rapidly. Currently, temperatures around 45o Celsius have been registered at the polar circle, though the average temperature in this region, at this time, is usually around 18o Celsius. Extreme weather events have become more frequent in both India and Canada, with devastating impacts on humans and the economy. With more than 70% of all Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions, the fossil-fuel burning, energy sector is one of the main drivers of climate change. Therefore, increasing the future use of green energy will be crucial to achieve global climate goals and to prevent a catastrophic climate change. Though the main contributions to climate change can be clearly allocated to industrialized Western European and North-American countries, emerging economies, such as India, will need significant international investment in climate action in order to transition toward a future that is low-carbon and climate-resilient (LCR). As an emerging economy, India can attract greater foreign direct investment (FDI) through green bonds, a climate finance debt instrument that addresses environmental and climate-related challenges. Not only are green bond issuances linearly increasing over the years, but they also seem to be driven by institutional pressure, provided in part by the Securities and Exchange Board of India’s (SEBI’s) regulation, as well as by the informal advocacy efforts of market stakeholders. Green bonds are a type of fixed-income instrument that raise funds for climate and environmental projects. These bonds are typically asset-linked and backed by the issuing entity’s balance sheet. Mostly, they have the same credit rating as their issuers’ other debt obligations. Global green bonds issuances were more than $ 250 billion in 2019, which is greater than the official development aid that flowed across borders. By the end of 2019, India had cumulatively issued about $10.3 billion in green bonds, whereas Canada had issued around $ 11.5 billion . Given the similar progress in the green bond markets by these two countries, our recommendations present some learnings for how market actors can tap into the cross-country potential of this market, and meet economic and political goals. These recommendations are also applicable for other countries trying to use their institutional norms to grow green finance. Based on our research on green bonds, globally and in India, we firstly conclude that the institutional transition supporting green bonds is driven by high-priority social actors. Social actors can play a key role in whether or not institutional pressure impacts the growth and potential of this market. For any institutional regime shifts, it is important to have them on board with the transition and help drive it to an extent. In the green bond market, social actors can range from formal institutions such as financial regulators and institutional investors to informal advocacy from industry groups such as the Federation of Indian Chambers of Commerce and Industry (FICCI) or the Climate Bonds Initiative (CBI). A high priority social actor in this market is one that holds a high degree of legitimacy and financial power and spans various institutional settings. In India, these actors can be in the form of international investors which are looking to invest directly and fulfill green investment mandates, as well as important financial regulators such as the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) and SEBI, which are responsible for oversight and rule-setting in this market. However, the impact of these high-priority social actors, especially in terms of institutional change, is contingent on the level of global investor confidence and public perception of this market. In other countries, such as China, several financial regulators play a strong role in the green bonds market. In China, certain institutional aspects such as lack of consistency of green bond definitions across regulators or their acceptance by international investors, can affect the perception of the green bond market. Therefore, it is integral that formal and informal rules for the green bond market be set by high priority social actors (including regulators and investors) that have a higher level of institutional legitimacy and broader reach. For instance, Indian regulators such as SEBI and RBI, can not only ensure widespread participation in decision-making from domestic investors and issuers in India, but also tap into the technical expertise that is available at the international level from advocacy groups such as the CBI or FICCI. Secondly, collaboration among these high priority social actors also tends to lead to better outcomes. Our findings indicate that cooperation among various regulators can lead to improved harmonization across policies, which has a positive impact on this market. A lack of collaboration can adversely impact the effectiveness of a policy or legitimacy of this market. Although currently there are interdepartmental committees in India set up by regulators on green finance, new regulators such as the Pensions Fund Regulatory and Development Authority, and the Insurance Regulatory and Development Authority of India, may issue regulations relating to this market at some point. Given that these regulators also have public mandates, the central government should take on the role of policy coordinator and ensure that global institutional investors perceive India’s green bond market to be ready for investment. Thirdly, the reduction of high priority social actors’ perceived risk can contribute to institutional strength. To reduce regulatory risk, it is important that high-priority social actors such as institutional investors and green bond issuers are kept informed on regulatory changes. Therefore, having a public forum or platform can be an important tool for better communication among various social actors. Although there are some communication initiatives, such as the Indian Green Bond Council, it is important that regulators be easily accessible to primary market players. Green bond issuances in India provide opportunities for Canada and its major institutional investors to increase green FDI and mitigate the climate risks of their investments in India. It offers a unique opportunity because Indian green bonds are issued in foreign currencies such as the U.S. dollar as well as the Indian rupee; this allows foreign investors to fulfill their diversification quotas as well as meet stakeholder demands on green investments. In contrast, China’s green bond market mostly caters to domestic investors and has previously been a limitation for investors looking to avoid controversial projects such as clean coal. Given the large number of institutional investors such as pension funds based in Canada, that want to fulfill their fiduciary duties of long-term fast-growing financial returns, we suggest that investing in an emerging market such as India’s green bonds market can be a way forward. Capital from these investors can drive domestic green projects in India which in turn offer business opportunities for Canadian clean technology companies to export their products, services or expertise to India. In particular, sectors such as renewable energy and low-carbon transport such as rail can be transformative for both Indian and Canadian companies. They can comply with the Indian government’s mandate of providing clean electricity and low-carbon connectivity, and fill the current financing-gap for such projects due to the asset-liability mismatch in India’s financial sector.

Are you concerned about the effects gambling may be having on the families and children you work with? A recent study showed 3 in 4 children aged 11 to 15 years had seen television adverts for gambling, and that just over 1 in 6 had gambled in the previous week. We also know that 1 in 5 individuals with gambling disorders attempt suicide, twice the rate of other forms of addictive behaviour. Gambling can have devastating effects on families and education is key to prevention. So we are delighted that on Thursday 15th October at 10:00am our friends at Fast Forward are joining us to provide an information session specifically designed for professionals supporting families on Young People and Gambling Harms. This interactive session will give you a chance to: - Explore and increase your awareness of current issues surrounding gambling and young people and the effects on families with a focus on health, education, prevention and support. - Identify the impact on children if their parents/carers are experiencing issues with gambling - Broaden your understanding of what a gambling disorder is and its relationship with other risk-taking behaviours - Learn more about the links between online gaming and gambling - Receive information on Covid- 19 in relation to gambling - Signpost you to resources available (such as the Fast Forward Gambling Education Toolkit) and where to find additional support and specialised services To let us know that your coming and get a link to the Zoom Meeting PLEASE FOLLOW THIS LINK Please register to attend Google map and directions
At the turn of the 20th century, the Republican Party was on the brink of an internal civil war. Following a devastating financial crisis, a new breed of politicians came to Washington—they vowed to overthrow the party leaders and purge Wall Street’s corrupting influence from Washington. While their opponents called them “radicals,” and “fanatics,” they called themselves Progressives. As their crusade gathered momentum, the country polarized, and the middle ground melted away. Michael Wolraich tells the story and looks at the role of President Theodore Roosevelt in finding compromise. His book Unreasonable Men: Theodore Roosevelt and the Republican Rebels Who Created Progressive Politics takes us into the heart of the power struggle that created the progressive movement, and defined modern American politics.
Dr Eric Robinson from the Institute of Psychology, Health and Society, researches cognitive and social influences on health-related behaviours such as eating and drinking: “The lifestyle choices we make can have big repercussions on how we feel on a day to day basis, as well as on our longer term health. With coursework assignments looming and end of semester exams to prepare for, knowing what things we can do to look after ourselves is important. “Making sure you exercise or are active on a daily basis, keep regular sleep patterns and avoid drinking alcohol on more days in the week than not are good places to start. But at the same time, there are lots of health myths with little scientific evidence supporting them too: Myth 1: A glass of wine a night… “Dependent on what you have heard, you might be led to believe that alcohol is good for you because it is full of antioxidants and life-saving compounds. If you are thinking about working in a nightly beer or glass of wine for good health, then think again. Although newspaper headlines and articles can be persuasive, most experts advise against this and so does UK alcohol charity Drink Aware. Myth 2: Energy drinks can get me through an all-nighter “Although energy drinks can give you a temporary energy boost, this will only be a short-lived energy kick and it will not combat fatigue. The high caffeine levels can also make you agitated and raise blood pressure. Plus, there is recent research that suggests these kind of drinks may have a negative long term effect on heart functioning. If you are low on energy then try a banana. Myth 3: Detox time Thinking of going on a fashionable detox diet to cut out specific food groups and cleanse your inner self? There is next to no evidence that detox diets are beneficial and the British Dietetic Association take this stance too. These kinds of diets can also be detrimental if important nutrients go missing from your diet as a result. “ The Institute of Psychology, Health and Society is currently running a campus-wide study to track student lifestyle choices, as well as eating and drinking habits. Researchers are currently looking for student participants to take part in the online study which takes around 10 minutes to complete. For further information and to take part, please visit: www.Tinyurl.com/liverpoolcohortstudy As a thank you for taking part student participants will be entered into a £300 prize draw.
What is a car loan? A car loan is a loan taken out for the purpose of buying a motor vehicle such as a Ute, car, 4WD, motorbike or other road vehicles. A car loan can also be known as a vehicle loan. If you don’t have enough in savings to afford to buy a car but you can afford to repay a loan in monthly installments, you might consider taking out a car loan to finance your new wheels. There are two main types of car loans: - New car loans - Used car loans How do car loans work? Car loans may be offered by financial institutions as a standalone car loan, or personal loan, or via the redraw facility or line of credit on a home loan. You can also get a car loan from peer-to-peer (P2P) lenders and car dealers. Where you choose to go could have a big effect on the interest rate you pay on your car loan. When you enter a contract for a car loan it will typically be for a period of one to five years. This is the amount of time over which you agree to repay the loan, generally by monthly installments. In addition to the amount you borrow, interest will also be charged on the balance owing. You can try our car loan calculator to see approximately how much your car might cost you over the term of your loan.
Date: November 17, 2005 Creator: Hanrahan, Charles E. Description: In May 2003, the United States, Canada, and Argentina initiated a formal challenge before the World Trade Organization (WTO) of the European Union’s (EU’s) de facto moratorium on approving new agricultural biotechnology products, in place since 1998. Although the EU effectively lifted the moratorium in May 2004 by approving a genetically engineered (GE) corn variety, the three countries are pursuing the case, in part because a number of EU member states continue to block approved biotech products. Because of delays, the WTO is expected to decide the case by December 2005. The moratorium reportedly cost U.S. corn growers some $300 million in exports to the EU annually. The EU moratorium, U.S. officials contend, threatened other agricultural exports not only to the EU, but also to other parts of the world where the EU approach to regulating agricultural biotechnology is taking hold.

Biogas is generated when bacteria degrade biological material in the absence of oxygen, in a process known as anaerobic digestion. Since biogas is a mixture of methane (also known as marsh gas or natural gas, CH4) and carbon dioxide it is a renewable fuel produced from waste treatment. Anaerobic digestion is basically a simple process carried out in a number of steps that can use almost any organic material as a substrate – it occurs in digestive systems, marshes, rubbish dumps, septic tanks and the Arctic Tundra. Humans tend to make the process as complicated as possible by trying to improve on nature in complex machines but a simple approach is still possible, as I hope you see in this website. Conventional anaerobic digestion has been a “liquid” process, where waste is mixed with water to facilitate digestion, but a “solid” process is also possible, as occurs in landfil sites. As methane is very hard to compress I see its best use as for stationary fuel, rather than mobile fuel. It takes a lot of energy to compress the gas (this energy is usually just wasted), plus you have the hazard of high pressure. A variable volume storage (flexible bag or floating drum are the two main variants) is much easier and cheaper to arrange than high pressure cylinders, regulators and compressors. I think biogas is best used directly for cooking/heating, light (pdf) or even absorption refrigeration rather than the complication and energy waste of trying to make electricity from biogas. You can also run pumps and equipment off a gas powered engine rather than using electricity. There are many advantages of biogas over wood as a cooking fuel:- * Less labour than tree felling * Trees can be retained * Biogas is a quick, easily controlled fuel * No smoke or smell (unless there is a leak – then you need to know anyway!) so reduced eye/respiratory irritation * Clean pots * Sludge is a better fertiliser than manure or synthetic fertilisers (and is cheaper then manufactured products) * Reduced pathogen transmission compared to untreated waste
|« Back to Article| Teens are learning to win in the Game of Real Life By Loren Steffy | August 3, 2008 Photo By JAMES NIELSEN/CHRONICLEHigh school students play the Game of Real Life at the Junior Achievement building last week. About 300 incoming sophomores spent three weeks in a financial education course before playing the game, in which they progress through the first few years of an imaginary post-high-school life. Junior Alvarenga was making $25,000 a year when he got to work Monday morning. By 4 p.m., he was pulling down $110,000. It helped that he got a master's degree in business administration along the way. Alvarenga was one of about 300 incoming high school sophomores who spent the past three weeks in intensive financial education. They gathered at the Junior Achievement building Monday to test their skills in the Game of Real Life, in which teams of students progress through the first few years of an imaginary post-high school life. The kids, all of whom come from low-income families, were recommended by participating high schools — KIPP Houston High School, Yes Preparatory Southeast and Southwest high schools, Spring Branch's Spring Woods High School and Aldine's Victory Early College/Carver High School. The classes teach the basics of money and saving, then progress through setting goals, living within means, and planning for the future. In other words, students learn to build their own road out of poverty. "In our society, you're either a giver or a taker. I think we want people who are contributors," said Lorraine Decker, the co-founder of Skills for Living, a Houston nonprofit that provides financial education and mentoring to low-income families. (Full disclosure: In the past, Skills for Living has auctioned a lunch with me as part of a fundraiser for its adult program.) This is the second year it's offered a program exclusively for teens. Last year's class had about 60 kids. More are planned for the fall and spring, with larger groups. Students begin the program by writing an essay detailing what they think their life will be like in their mid-20s. Then they research the cost of that lifestyle. If they envision a large home, they look up the prices using tax records, calculate mortgage and insurance payments, and determine the maximum amount they can spend each month for housing. They use the government's average salary data to see if their chosen career will cover their expenses. If not, they have to pare back their lifestyle or choose a different line of work. "We learn to make better decisions," Levi de Leon, another student in the program, told me during a break in Monday's game. They also learn about federal payroll taxes, the cost of health insurance, the importance of saving for retirement, and how better grades improve chances of scholarships. Lariza Contreras said she's come to appreciate the difficulty of paying bills while attending college. Classmate Leyba Valdez said she now realizes that a college degree means more financial security. Real gift is knowledgeSo how do Decker and Skills for Living get high schoolers to agree to take a voluntary finance class during the summer? Free laptops. Halliburton donated about 400 used laptops to the program this year, and students who complete the course get to keep them. They quickly learn, though, that the real gift is knowledge — the understanding that they can change their own lives. The classwork culminates with students interviewing for jobs in the game among the 18 volunteer companies that serve as imaginary employers. Each company "hires" about a dozen students for their team, after interviewing about three times that many. Be late, get firedThe game started early Monday with students on each team reporting for work at one of the company's "offices." Several who were late got fired and had to find another job. Not all the lessons are easy ones. The students start the game at the imaginary age of 19, having just graduated from high school. They age a year every 45 minutes, ending the day at age 26. Some immediately enter the work force, others go to college and wind up with higher salaries. Some, such as Alvarenga, go to graduate school and increase their earnings even more. Along the way, they decide whether to buy houses, get married and make other decisions, all using the financial planning skills they've learned. When the game ends, the teams with the highest aggregate net worth and highest net income wins. For some, there's a bonus: internships with the volunteer companies. Xerox, for example, selected two students to intern with the company next year and will give each a scholarship totaling $2,000 to buy their textbooks for four years of college. All the participants win, though, because they learn that their choices matter. "I know that something great will come in their lives — or maybe something terrible won't," Decker said. The game isn't a game, of course. It's a battle for the future, won one mind at a time.
If the statements that William M. Gray included in his Soapbox on April 4 (“Coloradoan global warming coverage is one-sided,”) and his statement, “There has been no global warming during the past 15 years…,” are to be taken as fact without context for the rest of the temperature record, he would be well to remember another elder gentleman and scientist who, at 72, is retiring as head of NASA’s Goddard Institute of Space Studies to work even more actively on climate-change issues: James Hansen. Hansen put climate change on the map with his congressional testimony in 1988, 25 years ago. Since that time, not a single month’s temperatures have fallen below the 20th-century average for that month. Half the world’s population is now too young to have lived through the last colder-than-average month, February 1985. In worldwide temperature records going back to 1880, the 19 hottest years have all occurred since Hansen’s testimony. Colleen Cope, Fort Collins
Causes of the French Revolution DBQ Essay Causes of the French Revolution DBQ The late 1700’s were a period of great social and political revolution in Western civilization. The French Revolution was a major part of this sweeping change in the way Europeans (and the newborn Americans) perceived the function of government and the most effective ways of governing. The French Revolution had many long term and short term causes and effects, and was one of the most violent periods in the history of the country. There were many factors that contributed to the spark of the revolution. There were three main causes of the French Revolution: gross mishandling of governing duties and incompetence in the leadership of King Louis XVI and Marie Antoinette, the large and very unjust social and economic gap between the first two privileged estates and the poor third estate, and finally the revolutionary ideas of the enlightenment and their influence on the philosophies of the people. Louis XVI was one of the most incompetent and frankly idiotic rulers in the history of France. He would have absolutely nothing to do with his official duties as king, and his horribly decadent lifestyle contributed greatly to the economic plight France was in. The fact that he was married to Marie Antoinette, a native of Austria, France’s sworn enemy, was very detrimental as well. Louis XVI inherited debt from previous rulers, but he made no move of any kind toward paying it off. In fact, he borrowed vast sums of money in order to give aid to the Americans in their revolution, which only worsened France’s already outstanding deficit. In 1786, bankers refused to lend the government any more money, and Louis XVI was in serious trouble. Of course, all of this put Louis in a highly unfavorable position with the people of France, who absolutely despised him and his wife. Marie Antoinette was a major problem for Louis as well. She gave him poor advice on governing matters, spent large amounts of money on her own vanity, and was generally hated by the people the moment she set foot in France. Louis was a serial procrastinator. He put off dealing with economic troubles until it was essentially too late, and the people were completely fed up. He was finally forced to resort to taxing the nobility, which spelled the end of Louis’s reign, as the Estates-General that he called-the first in 175 years-to deal with the problem was the first step of the revolution. It is also ironic that the American Revolution (which Louis supported) was a major factor to the downfall of the monarchy, as suggested by Lord Acton, “…The American example caused the (French) Revolution to break out…”(doc. 5). All throughout human history, the wealthy have always been the minority. They have been completely deaf to the voices of the majority of people, who tend to be very poor. France in the late 1700’s was no exception. The social hierarchy of the country was divided into three classes, or estates. The first estate was made up of the clergy, and was the smallest and wealthiest class, consisting of only 1% of France’s population. The second estate was made up of nobles, and consisted of about 2% of France’s population. These two estates combined, making up only 3% of the population of France, owned nearly half of the land in France (doc. 2)! The third estate was made up of the middle class(or the bourgeoisie), peasants, and city workers and was the overwhelming majority of the people. They only owned about half of the land, however, and had almost no say in government whatsoever. Of course, the burden of taxes was placed squarely on the shoulders of the third estate, while the first and second estates paid essentially nothing. The outrageous amount of taxes like the taille, or a tax on the land and its produce, caused many people in the third estate to live with almost nothing and in filthy conditions, as observed by Arthur Young who traveled through France from 1787 to 1789, “The poor people seem very poor indeed. The children are terribly ragged….The lack of bread is terrible…The price of bread has risen above the people’s ability to pay. This causes great misery,”(doc. 3). It would not be long before the people had had enough and great change was demanded. The Enlightenment was the third major factor in the French Revolution. Before the ideas of the philosophes became widespread, the monarchy and old ways of thinking were not questioned. It was just tradition and people knew not to question tradition. Then thinkers like Voltaire, Rousseau, and Locke came along and changed everything. John Locke was probably the most important and influential philosophe. His idea about natural rights (life, liberty, and property) being totally unalienable stirred the French people. They realized that they deserved much better than their positions in life. Of course, the bourgeoisie were the first to accept these revolutionary ideas, since they were the most educated and probably the only portion of the third estate who could read, as pointed out by historian Albert Mathiez, “The middle class…was sensitive to their inferior legal position. The Revolution came from them-the middle class. The working classes were incapable of starting or controlling the Revolution. They were just beginning to learn to read,”(doc. 4). The ideas of Voltaire, who believed in the right of free speech for everyone, also figured greatly in the revolutionary thoughts of the third estate. The people were angry that their opinions were being suppressed by the corrupt government. The Comte D’Antraigues, a friend of Rousseau, said about the ideas of the people, “The Third Estate is the People and the People is the Foundation of the State; it is in fact the State itself; the…People is everything. Everything should be subordinated to it…It is in the People that all national power resides and for the People that all states exist.” The revolutionary seed was planted in the mind of the French people by the ideas of the philosophes. The French Revolution had three major causes: the incompetence of Louis XVI, the vast gap between the rich and poor in France, and the revolutionary ideas of the Enlightenment. Once Louis called the infamous Estates-General of May 5, 1789, a revolution began when the third estate created the National Assembly to create reforms in the name of the people. Three days later, the Third Estate was locked out, so they broke into a tennis court and created a new constitution. This was the spark the ignited the revolution, and the beginning of a whole new era in the history of France.
Meeting Friends and Family for the First Time Much anticipation and excitement awaits the introduction of a newborn baby to one’s family and friends. Your child’s condition will not change the love and support that will come from family members and friends who really care about you and, now, your child. When first introducing your child to friends and family it is important to remember that you can control the amount and type of information you provide about your child’s condition. The extent and depth of detail you offer depends on the type of relationship you have with that particular person. It’s also important to remember that the message about your child that you share with other people will ultimately be the message your child shares with people about himself as he or she matures. It is often helpful to think through exactly what you want to say so that you are prepared with some ‘set answers’ to the most common questions. Having a child who looks different can change the way people, including family members, interact with you. It usually increases the level of support and empathy you receive. It can, sometimes, give people license to make comments they would not consider making to another family member. The important thing to remember that you can control the amount of information you share and your response to such comments. It might be helpful to carefully explain your child’s condition, at your comfort level, to the family member or friend before he or she meets the child. Providing a photo beforehand is another way to prepare everyone for a more relaxed and meaningful meeting.
100 Merchants Retrace Silk Road Trade Route on Camelback in Epic Year-Long Journey In a quest to repeat the traditions of ancient merchants, more than 100 tea traders are making an epic journey, crossing 15,000 kilometers on camelback and retracing the steps of the Silk Road merchants from 2,000 years ago. This ambitious expedition set out in September of last year, and this week thousands of residents turned out to see the historic spectacle as the caravan passed through an ancient market town near the Gobi Desert. The traditional camel train departed Shaanxi province in central China in 2014, and this week the merchants, 136 camels, and 8 horses filed through Zhangye, ancient trade town along the Silk Road. On Tuesday, the convoy reached Zhangye, an ancient market town near the Gobi Desert, where thousands of curious residents lined up the streets to witness the spectacle, reports Chinese language news site People's Daily Online . Camels and tea merchants travel through the streets of Zhangye as they retrace the ancient Silk Road route to Kazakhstan.

By Whitney Cranshaw and Frank Peairs, Colorado State University Cooperative Extension Entomologists Miller moth is the term given to any type of moth that is particularly abundant in and around homes. In the eastern half of Colorado, the common miller is the army cutworm, Euxoa auxiliaris. The wings of all moths are covered with fine scales that easily rub off. These scales reminded people of the dusty flour that covered the clothing of the miller. The caterpillar stage is a typical cutworm. In high populations, however, they have the unusual habit of banding together in army-like groups and may be seen crawling across fields or highways in large numbers. The 1 1/2 to 2-inch wingspan of the army cutworm moth is typical of the size of many other cutworms found in the state. It is generally gray or light brown and has wavy dark and light markings on the wings. The wing patterns of the moths are quite variable in color and markings. Many of the moths that fly at night have specialized eyes that increase the light reaching the light- sensing receptor cells. In the base of the miller-moth eyes are a series of thread-like trachea that carry oxygen. These are pale colored and reflect light, giving the appearance of glowing. There also are colored pigments in the eye, which may give an iridescent color to the light. The army cutworm has an unusual life history. Eggs are laid by the moths in late summer and early fall. Most eggs are laid in weedy areas of wheat fields, alfalfa fields or other areas where vegetation is thick. The eggs hatch within a few weeks and the young caterpillars feed. The army cutworm spends the winter as a partially grown caterpillar and resumes feeding the following spring. At this time, the cutworms may damage crops, including alfalfa, winter wheat (after the broadleaf weeds nearly are gone) and gardens. They become full grown by mid-spring, burrow into the soil and pupate. About two to three weeks later, the adult miller stage of the insect emerges. Spring flights of miller moths, moving east to west across the eastern half of the state, originate from moths that developed across eastern Colorado and probably as far as the border areas of Wyoming, Nebraska and Kansas. They fly west and ultimately settle at higher elevations. There they spend one to two months feeding on nectar. During this time, they are in reproductive diapause and do not lay eggs. In late summer, they return east to lay eggs and repeat the cycle. No one is sure why army cutworms, the "Colorado miller," migrate to the mountains in the summer. One likely explanation is that the mountains reliably provide an abundance of summer flowers, a source of nectar they need as food. In addition, the relatively cool temperatures of the higher elevations may be less stressful to the moths, allowing them to conserve energy and live longer. During outbreak years, miller-moth flights may last five to six weeks, generally starting in late May or early June. However, they tend to be most severe for only two to three weeks. Return flights in late summer are usually less spread out. However, since many of the moths die during the summer, the return flight is less obvious. The army cutworm also can be found in western Colorado. Presumably, it also follows sources of nectar plants, although it does not occur in the nuisance numbers found in eastern Colorado. Population density varies from year to year. Dry periods will help shorten our misery, as the millers will move on through the area more quickly and not stay to linger over the many flowers seen in the spring of a wetter year. Miller Moths In the Home Miller moths avoid daylight and seek shelter before daybreak. Ideally, a daytime shelter is dark and tight. Small cracks in doorways of homes, garages and cars make perfect hiding spots. Often, many moths may be found sheltered together in particularly good shelters. Miller moths between the coils of a garden hose At night, the moths emerge from the daytime shelters to resume their migratory flight. Since cracks often continue into the living space of a home (or a garage, car, etc.), a wrong turn may lead them indoors, instead of outside. Although there is still debate among scientists on this point, most believe moths are attracted to the light because they use the moon to help orient their flights. Such distant points of light allow the insects to fix their flights by maintaining a constant angle to the light source. Artificial lights confuse the insect response, since these lights are so close (an unnatural situation). Trying to maintain the flight angle to these close light sources cause the insects to spiral to the source. Are miller moths harmful? The caterpillar stage of the army cutworm is sometimes an important pest for crops in spring. However, the adult-miller stage is primarily a nuisance--albeit a considerable nuisance at times. Moths in the home do not feed or lay eggs. During the migratory flights, the moths do not produce or lay eggs. Furthermore, the caterpillar stage would not survive on household furnishings or other foods in the home. Moths in the home will eventually either find a way outdoors or die. When large numbers do die in a home, there may be a small odor problem (due to the fat in their bodies turning rancid). Also, unless they are cleaned out, the old moths may serve as food for carpet beetles and other household scavengers. Probably the greatest damage by millers is lost sleep, when they are flying about the room and the (needless) worry they may cause some harm. Moths that have recently emerged from the pupa produce a reddish-brown fluid that often is deposited on windows, walls or other areas where the insect rests. This is called meconia and is the waste product stored during pupal development. Meconia is primarily proteinaceous and is usually not difficult to remove. Follow normal fabric-care instructions on clothing. Spray-and-wash type household cleaners can remove the spots from walls and other surfaces. The caterpillar stage of the army cutworm has many natural enemies. Predatory ground beetles and many birds eat cutworms, and the larvae of various flies and wasps develop within and kill the caterpillars. Adult millers may be eaten by bats or even many birds when the millers are forced to fly during the day. The number of miller moths in late spring is related to the number of army cutworm caterpillars which occurred earlier in the season. Outbreaks of the army cutworm usually are followed by large flights of millers. Many things can influence cutworm outbreaks. Extremely cold winter conditions may kill many caterpillars, and when few moths are present, low numbers of eggs may be laid. The effectiveness of natural enemies, such as ground beetles and parasitic wasps, help regulate numbers of cutworms. Plowing fields where cutworms have laid eggs kills many. In the Home Before miller moths start to fly, try to seal any obvious openings, particularly around windows and doors. Also, reduce lighting at night in and around the home during flights. This includes turning off all unnecessary lights or substituting non-attractive yellow lights. Although the moths avoid daylight, they are attracted to point- sources of light at night. Once in the home, the best way to remove the moths is to swat or vacuum them or to attract them to traps. An easy trap to make is to suspend a light bulb over a partially filled bucket of water. Moths attracted to the light often will fall into the water and be killed. Insecticides have little or no effect in controlling millers. The moths are not very susceptible to insecticides. Furthermore, any moths killed will rapidly be replaced by new moths that migrate into the area nightly. Photos: Judy Sedbrook © CSU/Denver County Extension Master Gardener 2010 888 E.

Foreign Policy and the Monroe Doctrine Essay Foreign Policy and the Monroe Doctrine President James Monroe outline what is now known as the Monroe Doctrine in a speech to congress in 1828. The President warned European nations not to interfere in the affairs of America’s neighbors the nations of the Western Hemisphere. Monroe was responding to European threats to aid Spain in regaining its former Latin American colonies. By 1822 Argentina, Colombia, and Mexico had revolted and declared their independence.(1)Originally, the doctrine had been intended to support weak Latin American countries against European powers and discourage Russian interference along the Pacific Coast. The Monroe Doctrine proclaimed clearly that European powers would no longer colonize or interfere with the affairs of newly independent nations. The United States planned to stay neutral in the conflicts between European powers and their colonies.(2)In 1842, President John Tyler used this document to justify taking Texas from Mexico. Many nations to the south grew resentful, a Venezuelan newspaper warned other Latin American countries against the United states: Beware, brothers, the wolf approaches the lambs.(3) Due to the growing hostilities of the Latin American countries, and increasing concern in Great Britain and France, the United states decided on a new approach. In 1920 the United States policy became more of a offering of economic assistance, and cooperation with its Latin American neighbors. In my opinion, the United States does not follow this policy anymore. I do believe that it is possible to still follow the Monroe Doctrine, at least in the spirit of which it was written. It is easy to see that the United states relationship with South America is in great need of repair. The newspapers, and special addition news shows on television all point out the hostility against United States policies. In Michael Shifters report to the House committee on Foreign Affairs, he outlines how the United States got to this point with our South American neighbors, and how in his opinion we could. fix our situation. As Shifter points out misguided policies of our current administration on globalization and policies particularly the Middle East, have worsened U.S South American Relationships.(4)U.S. Policy has been since 9-11 is so active on the War on Terror that we have failed to come to the aid, and support of economic assistance for our South American neighbors, which was in the Monroe Doctrine. In 2002 the Bush Administration failed to respond to an appeal for help from Bolivian president Gonzalez Sanchez de Lozada for aid to help the enormous social unrest in that country. The United States ignored their pleas for help and the government fell. I believe our biggest problem is coming from Hugo Chavez of Venezuela. Chavez hates the United States current policies on the Middle East and his intent is constructing a counterweight to U.S. Power not just in Latin America, but all over the world. The United States receives some 12% of our oil from Venezuela. Chavez has oil money and is using this money to influence other countries such as Bolivia, Cuba, and Nicaragua. Their leaders respectively; Evo Morales, Fidel Castro, Daniel Ortega and Hugo Chavez. These leaders have all developed a closer political and economic alliance with Iran, all aim at undermining U.S. Foreign policy and pitting Latin countries against the United States. I would like to think that the United States could repair our relationship with South American countries and uphold the policies of the Monroe Doctrine, which was written by one of the last of our founding fathers. To accomplish this, the United States will have to change the current policies in the Middle East and start viewing South American countries as partners in all issues from energy trade, environmental, and democratic problems. Especially after all the damage we have done over the years to those countries concerning these very issues. As such, building trust again in these regions will not happen quickly, but by taking a firm democratic and constitutional stance it is still possible to recover what has been lost. From then on, not ignoring request for help. And changing our dependence on foreign oil and resources will put the United States in a better light. (1)Miller, Marilyn. Words That Built a Nation.

The Test Range has a fully equipped meteorological station to provide all standard meteorological parameters (barometric pressure, temperature, relative humidity, density, wind direction and speed). Surface Meteorological Data Surface conditions are continuously measured 24 hours at the meteorological station, while mobile measurement equipment can be deployed at various points on the Range to typically provide surface or ground conditions up to 10m. Surface meteorological data is distributed via the range communication infrastructure for display in the control room or at the participating measurement systems. Upper Air Meteorological Profiles Meteorological balloons equipped with radio sondes are used to monitor upper air conditions with 50m interval resolution up to 30km - temperature, humidity and density are measured as a function of altitude. Derivatives from the standard parameters measured are the dew point, density and refraction index. Daily computer aided weather forecasts of meteorological condition probabilities - forecasting surface, upper air and sea conditions (wave forecasting) - are available for a 3 to 5 day window in advance. Inputs utilized include local observations, national meteorological grid data, Range meteorological statistics and results of local balloon soundings. Based on statistics compiled from local measurements and monitoring of meteorological conditions over more than 20 years, fairly accurate indications of suitable test days for the different seasons of the year can be provided to potential range users. These statistics are however generalized to some extent to cater for different tests imposing different restrictions in terms of suitable weather conditions. In addition the stations radar system can be used as part of the Test Ranges array of measurement systems to assist with general target tracking or to provide information needed for positioning of airborne targets. Positioning of airborne targets is accomplished by means of radar tracking, pilot balloon soundings and target trajectory computations.

This episode is from the WNYC archives. It may contain language which is no longer politically or socially appropriate. Milton B. O'Connell, Deputy Director for Public Information of the New York State Civil Defense Commission describes the state's plans for civil defense in light of disclosures of the extent of damage caused by the H-bomb explosions in the Pacific. The New York State Commission on Civil Defense states this has no impact on the plans for civil defense. Lt. Gen. C. R. Huebner, State Civil Defense director, stated as much on March 1, 1954, the same day the h-bomb explosion took place: "There is no reason to be defeatist and to maintain that nothing can be done to deal with the effects of this new weapon. While the damages and casualties will, of course, increase, and the importance of prompt and effective post attack measures is magnified, the actions to be taken are essentially the same as in the case of an atomic blast." "Civil defense is fundamentally the people...prepared to take positive action to cope with the effects of a hostile attack." "There is no alternative but to improve our defenses, both militarily and civil." A somewhat frank discussion of the effects of an h-bomb attack follows, mostly through quotes from Huebner.

Why map the Gulag Scholars of the variously named violent-, lethal-, terror-, war-, or death-scapes, face the universal problem that there are no solid traditions or developed methodologies in GIS available that can easily be transferred for use with historical datasets. In the best case examples, ad hoc teams with the appropriate range of skills are assembled for specific projects, but more usually the task of visually representing data is contracted out, with the result that there is an urgent need for the development of standard methodologies to facilitate progress in mapping violent geographies. The Stanford Holocaust Geographies Project is the most comprehensive and advanced among current initiatives. The project combines archival and textual data with the spatial analytical tools of geovisualization to reveal the patterns of events as the Nazis imposed a sweeping geography of oppression across East Central Europe. The project has fixed the geolocation of 1,300 concentration camps and by layering the resultant pattern with many different types of qualitative and quantitative information in the same visual space, it has shown change over time. As Ann Kelly Knowles (2015), one of the project’s initiators, observes, "The key is to recognize that perpetrators and victims experienced the Holocaust at different scales, but that those scales registered--came together--in particular places at particular times …. Mapping complex data, like the development of the SS concentration camps system, inevitably shows you things you would not know--unless you make a map." Turning this ‘key’, we believe, is overdue in studies of the Soviet repression. The maps presented on this web-site are the first step towards developing the systematic approaches introducing the spatial histories of the Soviet and post-Soviet penal system with the help of HGIS.
1 MW Solar Tracking Demonstration Project UGA partnered with Georgia Power to install a 1-megawatt solar array in an underutilized agricultural field next to the UGA Club Sports Complex on South Milledge Avenue. The project includes various technologies for tracking patterns of the sun to maximize the output of electricity, providing research opportunities for students in the UGA College of Engineering and others. An on-site webcam provided a time-lapse view of the construction. Construction started in 2015 and the site went active in early 2016. Jackson Street Building 18 kW Solar Array This 18-kilowatt solar electric system was installed in 2012 on the roof of the Jackson Street Building, which houses programs of the College of Environment & Design. Seventy-two MAGE Powertec 240 photovoltaic panels harness energy from the sun to help power lights, mechanical systems and plug loads inside the Jackson Street Building. Overall the project generates about 30,000 kilowatt-hours of electricity annually, enough to reduce greenhouse gas emissions equivalent to removing five personal vehicles from our local roadways every year. Economically, the panels will reduce monthly electricity bills and are estimated to pay for themselves in fourteen years. To learn more about sustainable design in the Jackson Street Building & to see real-time performance of the solar panels, visit the Jackson Street Building EcoScreen. UGA Solar Charging Station at Herty Field University students who decide to write their essay papers or study for final exams outside no longer have to worry about losing power, thanks to a solar-powered charging station across from Herty Field on North Campus. From afar, the charging station looks like any other wooden table topped with a canopy, but, instead of canvas, the canopy is constructed of solar panels. The ConnecTable is capable of charging between 75 and 150 mobile devices a day, even on cloudy days, with the use of a 530-watt solar array and 225 amp-hour gel cell battery. Installed by the UGA Grounds Department in 2015. UGArden Solar Array A free-standing solar array with eight solar panels helps to power a farm building and charge an electric vehicle at the UGArden Teaching & Demonstration Farm. The project was designed by a team of UGA Engineering students and installed in 2013 through the UGA Campus Sustainability Grants program.
January 20-26: Mass "transports" of Theresienstadt Jews are sent to Auschwitz. The German Sixth Army is annihilated near Stalingrad. A German Red Cross delegation visits Theresienstadt. A first "transport" is sent to the "Family Camp" in Auschwitz-Birkenau. The children of Bialystok are sent from Theresienstadt to be murdered in Birkenau. A count of the Jews in the Theresienstadt Ghetto is conducted, and Jakob Edelstein is arrested for a discrepancy between the results of the count and the number of Jews registered in the card index. A second "transport" is sent to the "Family Camp" in Birkenau. Edelstein, his wife Miriam and son Arieh are sent on this "transport".
Reaching movements in stroke patients are characterized by decreased amplitudes at the shoulder and elbow joints compared to healthy subjects (1–6). The movement pattern of patients with stroke is highly related to their level of motor function impairment, which becomes modified due to the lack of inter-articular coordination (1). There is a decrease in the range of motion at the elbow joint with a tendency toward flexion, which avoids correct extension of the upper limb (UL), hampering the ability to perform appropriate reaching movements. Excessive shoulder abduction is also observed as a compensatory movement when there is a lack of appropriate shoulder flexion (7). In the case of the trunk, greater trunk displacements have been observed in patients with stroke, forward displacements, and torsion movements, which are related to deficits in elbow extension, and shoulder flexion and adduction, as compensatory mechanisms that occur during reaching movements or other activity. Patients are able to develop new motor strategies to achieve their goal despite UL deficits (1–7). There is a greater involvement of the trunk and scapula during the execution of reaching movements due to the creation of new movement strategies to compensate for the deficiencies (8). The scientific literature has shown that stroke patients need to create new movement strategies. This involves the development of pathological synergies to carry out the desired movements. An example of this is the excessive movements of the trunk and scapula to compensate the deficiencies resulting from the pathology (7). Proper activation of the interscapular muscles depends on the position of the trunk. Stroke patients, due to the deficits affecting their trunk and scapular movement patterns, are under unfavorable conditions for being able to perform appropriate and selective activation of these muscles, which has a negative impact on the movement of the UL (9–11). Regarding the UL muscles involved in reaching movements, a deficit in muscle control and activation has been observed (5, 12, 13). The synergistic contraction of the shoulder flexor and extensor muscles during reach becomes deteriorated due to muscle weakness and; therefore, the resulting movement is deficient (14). Furthermore, spastic muscle patterns may also prevent the correct performance of UL movements (15–18). Functional electrical stimulation (FES) is a form of treatment that seeks to activate the paretic muscles using short-duration electrical pulses applied via surface electrodes through the skin (19). The use of FES and neuroprostheses has spanned almost four decades (20, 21). The use of FES as a neuroprosthesis consists of self-treatment at home by means of a neuroprosthetic neuromuscular stimulation system. The objective of this modality is to assist the performance of an activity of daily living (ADL) (22). Recently, functional and clinical improvements have been reported with the therapeutic application of FES, in which stimulation was used to increase voluntary movement after stroke (22, 23). Therapeutic FES modalities have been used to recruit UL muscles, improving weakness, the dyscoordination of single and multiple joints movements, and spasticity (24). Most studies employing therapeutic FES for paretic UL rehabilitation are based on stimulation of the shoulder, elbow, and wrist muscles without recruitment of the interscapular muscles (25–28). The importance of an appropriate and specific contraction of the interscapular musculature during UL movement is necessary to adapt the position of the scapulothoracic joint to the degree of movement of the glenohumeral joint. This musculature has a stabilizing function upon the entire glenohumeral complex, which is necessary for a correct reaching movement (29–31). In healthy subjects, the posture of the trunk has been shown to influence changes in scapular movement and interscapular muscle activity during UL elevation (29, 32). The motor control of shoulder movement influences the correct and proper activation and synchronization of these muscles (33). In this study, we tested the ability of a FES system to assist the UL movement of stroke patients based on the stimulation of interscapular, shoulder, elbow, wrist, and finger muscles. To our knowledge, no empirical study to date directly addresses this question. The authors hypothesized that participants receiving FES to the UL and interscapular muscles would be able to perform the movement with less trunk anteroposterior tilt and major shoulder flexion and elbow extension. The aim of this feasibility study was to evaluate whether the application of FES to the UL and interscapular muscles of stroke patients with UL motor impairment would be able to modify their reaching patterns, measured using instrumental movement analysis systems.[…]
What nationality is the name Lee? Lee, I, or Yi (이) is the second-most-common surname in Korea, behind Kim (Gim). Historically, 李 was officially written as Ni (니) in Korea.

Gushiken or Gusicin (具志堅) is an Okinawan surname of Okinawan (Ryukyuan) origin. Often taken to mean “strong willed” or “of firm determination”, a meaning taken from the combination of the three kanji characters in the name. What are some Japanese last names? Traditionally, family names come first in Japanese, as they do in China and Korea. But beginning in the late 19th century, Japanese began adopting the Western custom of putting the given name first and family name second, at least when writing their names in English. What is the most common last name in Peru? Japan’s top 100 most common family names Is Argentina named after a person? The most common type of family name in Peru is the patronymic surname. Alvarez, Fernandez, Garcia, Chávez, Díaz, and Gonzales(z) are examples of common surnames. Because of immigration to Peru, there are also many surnames of other nationalities. What is the most common last name in Argentina? The name is derived from the Latin argentum (silver). The first use of the name Argentina can be traced to the voyages of the Spanish conquerors to the Río de la Plata. The explorers who shipwrecked in Juan Díaz de Solís’ expedition found native communities in the region who gave them silver presents. What is the most common Chinese last name? Whats the most common Hispanic last name? A report in 2019 gives the most common Chinese surnames as Wang and Li, each shared by over 100 million people in China, with Zhang, Liu, Chen, Yang, Huang, Zhao, Wu and Zhou making up the rest of the ten most common Chinese names. What is most common last name in the world? What is most common last name in the world? What is the most common last name in USA? Wang. Wang is a patronymic (ancestral) name that means “king” in Mandarin, and it’s shared by more than 92 million people in China, making it the most popular last name in the world. What’s the whitest last name? What are the two most common Hispanic surnames in the US? Garcia, Rodriguez and four other Latino surnames are now among the 15 most common surnames in the United States, the Census Bureau reported Thursday. Smith, Johnson and Williams, long the most common last names, remain the nation’s Top 3, the bureau said. What countries are Hispanic? Hispanic countries are: Argentina, Bolivia, Chile, Colombia, Costa Rica, Cuba, Dominican Republic, Ecuador, El Salvador, Equatorial Guinea, Guatemala, Honduras, Mexico, Nicaragua, Panama, Paraguay, Peru, Puerto Rico, Spain, Uruguay, and Venezuela. What is meant by Hispanic? The term Hispanic (Spanish: hispano or hispánico) refers to people, cultures, or countries related to Spain, the Hispanidad, Spanish language, culture, or people. Why is Latinx a thing? Latinx is used as an alternative to the gender binary inherent to formulations such as Latina/o and [email protected], and is used by and for Latinos who do not identify as either male or female, or more broadly as a gender-neutral term for anyone of Latin-American descent. What is Chicana identity? Chicano or Chicana is a chosen identity for many Mexican Americans in the United States. The identity experienced a further decline by the late 1970s and 1980s as assimilation and economic mobility became a goal of many Mexican Americans in an era of conservatism, who instead identified as Hispanic. What does it mean to be indigenous Americas Mexico? Indigenous Mexican Americans or Mexican American Indians are American citizens who are descended from the indigenous peoples of Mexico. Indigenous Mexican-Americans usually speak an Indigenous language as their first language and may not speak either Spanish or English. What group is indigenous to Mexico? The ten largest indigenous language groups are Náhuatl (22.7% of indigenous language speakers), Maya (13.5%), Zapoteco (7.6%), Mixteco (7.3%) Otomí (5.3%), Tzeltal (5.3%), Tztotzil (4.3%), Totonaca (3.9%), Mazateco (3.2%) and Chol (2.4%). (3). What is the percentage of indigenous population in Mexico? What is mestizaje ideology? The ideology of mestizaje (mixture) in Latin America has frequently been seen as involving a process of national homogenisation and of hiding a reality of racist exclusion behind a mask of inclusiveness. What kind of race is mestizo? The term mestizo means mixed in Spanish, and is generally used throughout Latin America to describe people of mixed ancestry with a white European and an indigenous background. Where did Mestizaje come from? Mestizo is at the core of Mexican Spanish and is used in Mexico and by Mexicans far more than in any other national community, but it has other meanings, as when Filipinos use it for individuals who are mixed indigenous Austronesian or other foreign ancestry. What is an example of mestizaje? Chicano mestizaje enacts a void and a congested condition. For example, the poem “I Am Joaquin” (1967) by Rodolfo “Corky” Gonzales expresses a fusion of two opposites, Mexico and the United States, which are blended to form a third cultural experience: Chicano. What is the definition of ethnic and cultural mixing in Mexican indigenous culture? Mestizo (/mɛˈstiːzoʊ, mɪ-/; Spanish: [mesˈtiθo] ( listen); fem. mestiza) is a term used in Hispanic America to refer to a person of a combined European and indigenous American descent. What is the significance of race and ethnicity in Latin America? Throughout Latin America, race and ethnicity continue to be among the most important determinants of access to opportunity and economic advancement. What is the main ethnicity in Mexico? Generally speaking, the mixture of indigenous and European peoples has produced the largest segment of the population today—mestizos, who account for about three-fifths of the total—via a complex blending of ethnic traditions and perceived ancestry.[ad_2]
Write a dedication, add a photo and we'll do the rest. You'll create a unique keepsake - A Personalized Edition! Author: Henry David Thoreau Introduction by: Michael Meyer If a man does not keep pace with his companions, perhaps it is because he hears a different drummer. Let him step to the music he hears, however measured or far away.' Disdainful of America's growing commercialism and industrialism, Henry David Thoreau left Concord, Massachusetts, in 1845 to live in solitude in the woods by Walden Pond. Walden, the classic account of his stay there, conveys at once a naturalist's wonder at the commonplace and a Transcendentalist's yearning for spiritual truth and self-reliance. But even as Thoreau disentangled himself from worldly matters, his solitary musings were often disturbed by his social conscience.'Civil Disobedience', expressing his antislavery and antiwar sentiments, has influenced nonviolent resistance movements worldwide. Michael Meyer's introduction points out that Walden is not so much an autobiographical study as a 'shining example' of Transcendental individualism. 432 pages (size: 5" x 7.5")
Analysis of variance is a tool used for a variety of purposes. Applications range from a common one-way ANOVA, to experimental blocking, to more complex nested designs. This first ANOVA example provides the necessary tools to analyze data using this technique. This example will show a basic one-way ANOVA. I will save the theory and the more detailed model topics behind Analysis of Variance for a separate discussion. Posted by Wesley on September 11, 2012
Science and our senses Wonwell class have been learning about the senses in Science. This afternoon they explored their sense of sight by practising activities with their eyes open and then with their eyes closed to 'see' the difference. They threw and caught small balls, threw beanbags into hoops, balanced on one leg and played catch with a partner. We talked about hand eye co-ordination and the role of our brain in linking ideas and actions together. Please click here to see more photos.
Men enlisting in WWI were issued with a regimental number by the AIF. Exceptions were officers and nurses, who were not issued a regimental number. Numbers, while sequential, were rarely unique. The number “1‟ was allocated to the first man in every infantry battalion and light horse regiment. Therefore, a minimum of 20 men could share the regimental number “1‟ – one for each of the 16 infantry battalions and four light horse regiments. When a soldier was transferred to another unit which already had that regimental number his number was appended with a letter. The numbers of re-enlisting soldiers often included the letter R. With the formation of the General Service Reinforcements (GSR) in 1917, the numbering system changed; general reinforcement soldiers were allocated a unique number between 50,000 and 80,000. Memorial to Bertie Stibbard, Orange Cemetery. Image courtesy Elizabeth Griffin. Bert Stibbard was a labourer from Cadia who enlisted in Orange in February 1916. He arrived in England in August the same year and proceeded to France as a private in the 34th Battalion. In February 1917 he was appointed Lance Corporal. According to an eyewitness report Stibbard was killed by a shell explosion whilst sleeping in a bay in the trenches at Ploegsteert, Belgium on the morning of 7 June 1917. He was 22. Bertie Stibbard is commemorated on the Holy Trinity Church Orange Honour Roll and on the World War I Roll of Honour on the southern face of the Orange Cenotaph. In 1923 the Anzac Memorial Avenue of trees was planted along Bathurst Road to commemorate fallen WWI soldiers. A tree was planted in honour of “Cpl Bert Stibbard”; it was donated by his mother, Frances. Very few of the trees are still standing today. James Robert ‘Tad’ Digges was a farmer on the family’s property at Coonamble when the war broke out. He enlisted in September 1915 and was appointed as a gunner with the 5th Field Artillery Brigade. He was later appointed as a driver. He was hospitalised several times during the course of the war, suffering from trench foot, appendicitis and influenza. He settled in Mendooran after the war, where he was a newsagent and prominent public figure. Digges was an avid golfer, winning a trophy for his performance in the 1949 season. Digges frequented Orange to socialise and to visit his friends and was well-known in the town. William Roy Lowdon memorial plaque, St John’s Church, Orange. Image courtesy Julie Sykes. William Roy Lowdon was born in Orange, and lived in Bathurst Road. He and his father were the proprietors of Lowdon & Son Bakery in East Orange. Roy was Secretary of the Thistle Club, and sang at their gatherings. The Leader claimed “Roy was one of the most popular of the young men of Orange”. Roy enlisted in March 1916, and served in 1st Division Australian Army Service Corps. He was delivering supplies at Dickebusch (Dickie Bush) in Belgium on 31 August 1917 when a shell fell on him. According to a fellow soldier fragments of bomb entered his armpit and he exclaimed “I’m hit Tick”, and died a few minutes later. He was 26. Roy’s name appears on St John’s Presbyterian Church Orange Honour Roll. His memory is also honoured by a plaque adjacent to the sanctuary. William Roy Lowdon is also commemorated on the World War I Roll of Honour on the southern face of the Orange Cenotaph.

Born in Crookwell, Constable Moylan was stationed at Rylstone when the war broke out. According to the Leader, Moylan asked his wife Nellie “’I stand between love and duty, which must I obey?”, to which she replied “Duty! Do your duty, then come back to me”. 36 year old Moylan had been a Trooper with the NSW Lancers during the Boer War. He enlisted in Sydney in September 1914, joining the 1st Light Horse Regiment for training at Rosebury Park. He embarked HMAT A16 Star of Victoria at Sydney on 20 October 1914, disembarking in Egypt on 8 December 1914. Private Moylan was admitted to No 1 General Hospital at Harefield in England in August 1915 suffering from dysentery. He was hospitalised for two months, rejoining his unit in October. In January 1916 Moylan was promoted to the rank of Captain, and was awarded the Military Cross on 4 June 1918. On 23 November 1918 Captain Moylan was admitted to hospital, dangerously ill, suffering from pneumonia and nephritis. He died on 28 September and is buried in Gaza Military Cemetery in Palestine. His widow died in November 1922 at Bathurst. Jack Moylan is commemorated on the World War I Roll of Honour on the southern face of the Orange Cenotaph. In 1923 the Anzac Memorial Avenue of trees was planted along Bathurst Road to commemorate fallen WWI soldiers. A tree was planted in honour of “Capt BJ Moylan”; it was donated by Flynn and Leggo. Very few of the trees are still standing today. No 1 Australian General Hospital, Harefield, England, where Moylan was hospitalized in August 1915. Image courtesy Australian War Memorial. Hilton Williamson was born in Orange in 1893. He was working as a carpenter and living in Bowen Terrace when WWI was declared. 22 year old Hilton enlisted in January 1916, embarking from Sydney in April the same year. Hilton served as a private in the 45th Battalion for 3 ½ years, returning to Australia in July 1919. On 16 April 1927 Hilton married Vivia Barbara Williamson at Nyrang Creek, Canowindra. The couple had one daughter. Hilton died at Manly Vale in June 1964. Hilton’s name appears on the Orange East Public School Honour Roll and the St John’s Presbyterian Church Orange Honour Roll. Charles Ewart Hawke 1916. Image courtesy Patricia Hobbs. Charles Hawke was the son of Thomas Hawke, a name long-associated with the Orange fruit growing industry. A keen cricketer and footballer, 23 year old Charles was working as an orchardist on his father’s property on Canobolas Road when the war broke out. He enlisted in September 1915 and embarked for the continent in December that year. Charles served as a private in France and Belgium, returning to Australia in June 1919. In September 1919 Charles and Valerie Lawson became were engaged in Orange. They married at the Methodist church in Leichhardt on 25 October that year. The couple had three children – Bruce, Marie and Neville, and spent the rest of their lives at Martinvale, 24 Canobolas Road. Charles died in September 1954, and Valerie in January 1965. Charles Hawke’s name appears on the Ancient Order of Foresters Orange Roll of Honor and the Methodist Church Orange Honour Roll. William Stuart McKay was born in Candelo in 1890. He was living in Ashfield and working as a motor driver when he enlisted in August 1915. William embarked the HMAT Itonus in Brisbane on 30 December 1915. He served as a motor driver with the 3rd Mechanical Transport Company in England and France, returning to Australia in June 1919. William was the nephew of Ald. Henry Kinghorne McKay, Orange orchardist and farmer, and Mayor of Orange in 1911. William and his brother George Robert McKay often travelled to Orange to visit their uncle, and they did so in July 1919, following their return from the war.
You have come to the right place if you are looking for fun, engaging and exciting Day and Night themed activities to do with toddlers, preschoolers and kindergartners. Our activities are widely used by teachers, moms, dads, child care providers and more! All our activities are available at no cost and are free to print and share. Select below to get started. Day and Night Arts and Crafts 1. Use an old window shade of a dark color. Have them children use white crayons or chalk to draw the sky at night. Or let the children use bobbi-pins to punch constellation holes in the shade. When you hold the shade up to a window the light will shine through to make starlight. 2. Splatter white paint on black or blue paper or use a spray bottle to create a starry night picture. Children can add moon or constellation with a paint brush or crayons. 3. Do night/day pictures by placing a dark sheet of paper next to a light piece of paper. Have the children glue on appropriate clothing items on each page. Cut a big circle from yellow construction paper. Glue onto blue construction paper. Draw a happy face on circle and draw rays around sun. Tear yellow foam egg cartons into small pieces and glue along rays you have drawn. Yellow powdered tempera, salt or sand, shaker containers, rock, Q-tips, Glue Mix powdered yellow tempera paint with salt or sand and pour it into shaker containers. Give each of the children a rock that has a smooth surface. Give them use Q-Tips to draw suns on their rocks with white glue. Then let them sprinkle the yellow salt or sand over the glue. Color a piece of paper with yellow crayon. Mix a small amount of liquid soap into black paint (soap helps paint stick to waxy crayon). Paint over the yellow crayon. Let dry. When dry scratch off paint to make stars and moons. On a sunny day get the children to draw around a shadow – in the morning, at noon and in the evening. During this time they can see the different things shadows do and where they move. A clock can be made with a circle of cardboard or a paper plate, a paper fastener and something for the hands for example leaves. Put the hands of the made clock on a selected time and place it next to a real clock. Then watch the clocks from time to time till they read the same time. (Helps develop the concept of time passing). Staple two paper plates together back-to-back. Get the children to paint on side black and sprinkle it with gold glitter, then paint the other side a bright colour. Potato print with star and moon shapes. Let the children roller paint a sheet of paper with black paint and then while wet sprinkle with gold glitter or when dry use glue and gold glitter. String paint with a piece of string dipped in black paint. Paint a paper cylinder black and then glue on foil shapes of stars and moons. Place a piece of paper in the bottom of a baking tray or small box. Add a bit of black paint and some golf ball or marbles. Then the children move these backwards and forwards to spread the paint and make a pattern. Use foam paint rollers over the top of paper or plastic doilies. Do this on colored or white or colored paper. Lift of for an interesting pattern. Use cotton balls with black paint. Use black paint on an easel. Make black Playdough. Make star gazers out of toilet paper rolls and wax paper. Color with glow in the dark crayons. Talk about Night Animals and what they do. Owl babies is a great book for night time animals. Discuss animal sleeping habits. Find out what animals sleep during the day and are awake at night. What animals are heard first thing in the morning? Where do animals sleep and in what position do they sleep? Choose some animals to pantomime while they are asleep. Decorate boxes like little beds for their stuffed animals. Make night pictures with blue or black construction paper. Have the children put anything on the paper that relates to the sky. I did this with my preschool class (3 year olds) and then we wrote planet stories too. I did a lot of things with planets. We made a planet out of paper mache. The children drew their own planets and told me stories about their planets. Day and Night Games and Activities All Night and All Day 1. Collect pictures of children, families and animals involved in activities related to nighttime (sleeping, wearing pajamas, using flashlights, animals in the dark) and daytime (playing outside, hiking, animals in daylight). 2. Laminate or cover with clear self-adhesive paper for durability if desired. 3. Put the pictures out in a basket or shoe box for kids to look at on their own, during circle time talk with them about the activities in the pictures. 4. Divide a poster board or large sheet of paper into two sections. On one side draw a large sun, blue sky and on the other side draw a dark sky with moon and stars. 5. Encourage kids to place the pictures of daytime activities on the “sunny side” and the night pictures on the “dark side”. Basic Concepts to Teach: -A whole day lasts 24 hours and consists of both day (light) and night (dark). -The sun rises in the east, is high in the sky by noon, and sets in the west. -The sun is a big star. It gives off light and heat all the time. -It is lighter and warmer during the day because our part of the earth is turned toward the sun then. -Daytime is from the times rises (sunrise) until the sun sets (sunset). -Nighttime is from the time the sun sets until the sun rises. -Sometimes the daylight lasts longer than the darkness (in summer) and at other times the darkness lasts longer than the light (in winter). -At night it is darker and colder because our part of the earth is turned away from the sun then. -Night is nice (stress pleasant aspects of night.) It is a good time to sleep and rest. -When it is day in our half of the work, it is night in the other part of the work. -The time between sunrise and noon (midday) is called morning. The time between noon and the evening meal is called afternoon and the time after sunset is called night. -People wear different clothes for the many things they do during the day and night such as work clothes, play clothes, party clothes, night clothes (pajamas). -The stars shine all the time. We do not see the stars in the daytime because the sunlight is so bright that we cannot see them. -Most stars are so far away that we see them as tiny dots of light at night. -Some stars look like they are groups together. These groups are called constellations. -The moon is an object (satellite) that orbits our earth. -The moon shines at night because the sunshine is reflecting off of it. The light we see is called moonlight. -Clouds may hide the sun and stars from our view. -The sun may cause our skin to become tan or to burn. Vocabulary to Introduce: Call attention to the children’s shadows and the shadows of other objects. Measure the children’s shadows in the morning, at noon, and before they leave in the afternoon, all at the same spot. Pound a long stick in the ground in an open spot. Measure the length of its shadow at different times of the day. Discuss why this happens with the children. Indoors, have the children look for their shadows. Use a flashlight as the sun and a stand up doll as a person. Let each child discover how to make long and short shadows on all sides of the doll. How do you make the shadow disappear? Use a bright light on a movie screen, sheet or a light colored wall and let the children make shadow pictures. Heat of the Sun: Discuss how the sun burns us. This can be a good time to introduce the use of sunblock and sunglasses to protect our eyes and skin. The children can stand in the sun and then in the shade to feel the difference in temperature. A teacher can demonstrate how the sun can burn by using a magnifying glass to burn a hole in a piece of paper. Day and Night: On a globe, place a small paper figure on the location of where you live. Stick a paper figure on the opposite side too. Darken the room and use a flashlight to represent the sun. Turn the globe slowly. The children can observe what causes day and night. If possible darken an area of the room with drapes, sheets over a card table, turning off a light. You can set up the room in daytime areas and nighttime areas with appropriate dress-up clothing. Plan a slumber party day, when the children can wear their pajamas, slippers, etc to school and bring a favorite blanket, sleeping bag or stuffed animal to cuddle. You can talk about any nighttime fears and read There’s a Nightmare in My Closet or There’s an Alligator Under My Bed by Mercer Mayer. I See Something What Do You See? I see something round like the moon; black like the night; yellow light the sun; pointed like a star. Match Them: use cut outs of the sun, stars, and phases of the moon to match shapes. If you cut them out of wallpaper samples, you can match by patterns or colors. Ready for bed: Find out what each child does before going to bed. Ask questions like who takes a bath? Who listens to a story? Talk about the different ways everyone gets ready for bed. Have on hand some of the things children might use when getting ready for bed. Some suggestions are a toothbrush, toothpaste, washcloth, soap, book, glass of water and blanket. Ask the children to recall and share their bedtime routines. Use the props to act them out. This is a good activity for sequencing. Read story, flannel board re-telling and then set up Goodnight Moon Room with all the objects set up like the book. Have children bring flashlights to school and as you re-tell the story have them shine flashlights on the objects. Day and Night on the Globe One good way to show why we have night and day is to take a globe that spins on its base and a flashlight (to be the Sun) into a dark room or hallway. Hold the flashlight far enough away that it will light up half the globe at once, and then have a helper spin the globe slowly. (Make sure it’s spinning in the correct direction – from West to East!) Everywhere that is lit up is having day, and everywhere that is dark is having night. This is a nice visual way to explain the concept. Day and Night Recipes and Snacks Sunshine Breakfast Biscuits Use 1 package refrigerator biscuits. Pat each biscuit into a 3″ circle. Place on a greased cookie sheet. To make the rays of the sun, press a plastic knife into the dough, not cutting through. Press your thumb into the center of each biscuit and drop about 1/2 tsp. orange marmalade into depression. Bake at 450 degrees for 6-8 minutes. Day and Night Songs, Poems and Finger Plays On a warm, calm, summer night, You might see a yellow light Dart in the air from bush to tree. Whatever can that bright light be? Go get a jar, with a lid that’s tight, And try to catch your own night light! Big yellow moon shines so bright, (Arms above head in circle shape.) Glides across the starry night, (Arms move from left to right.) Looks down at me (Hand shades eyes.) Asleep in bed, (Hands together at side of face.) Whispers, “Good night, sleepyhead.” (Forefinger in front of mouth.) Big yellow moon, your turn is done. (Arms above head move down in front of body.) Here comes Mr. Morning Sun. (Arms move above head in circle shape.) I wake up. (Arms stretch out.) You go to bed. (Hands together at side of face.) “Sleep well, Moon, you sleepyhead.” (Forefinger in front of mouth.) Music: Sing Twinkle , Twinkle , Little Star. Too Many in the Bed Sing or chant: There were three in the bed (hold up three fingers) And the little one said “Roll over, roll over” So they all rolled over and one fell out. There were two in the bed (hold up two fingers) And the little one said “Roll over, roll over” So they all rolled over and one fell out. There was one in the bed (hold up pinky) And the little one said “Good Night” (place hand to head pretend to be asleep) Have the kids practice rolling on the round for related motor skills activity. Can start the verse with five or ten, depending on age group. Can also use felt figures and flannel board to illustrate. Look at pictures of different animals and people sleeping. Talk about the position (laying down, curled up, standing up, upside down) and where the creature is sleeping (bed, floor, cave, tree). Encourage the kids to pretend to be different people and animals sleeping while singing verses (to “Mulberry Bush”) This is the way the baby sleeps, The baby sleeps, the baby sleeps (curl up with knees to chest) This is the way the baby sleeps In his little crib! This is the way the daddy sleeps . . . (on back, arms outstretched) In his big bed! This is the way the dogs sleep (lay on side) On the floor! This is the way the horses sleep (on hands and knees with head down) In the barn! This is the way the ducks sleep (stand on one leg with head down) In the tall grass! End the activity with: This is the way that I sleep (any position) In my bed! (pretend to sleep for a few seconds). Dear Reader: You can help us make this theme even better!

When we focus on learning, we usually focus on what we are including in our reasoning (learning and knowledge acquisition are often seen as similar concepts). Most often, we associate learning with gaining. Lately, I’m finding increased value in determining the role of exclusion in learning. What we choose to exclude in order to learn may provide as much information as what we actually include. It’s commonly accepted that our learning filters through some type of framework. This framework is an aggregation of personal beliefs, experiences, existing knowledge, and emotional intelligence. As an example, (if we can briefly utilize stereotypes for illustration purposes) conservatives are usually perceived as business focused, whereas liberals are perceived as people (or social issue) focused. These political worldviews shape and influence the type of information that penetrates into our active region of thinking and deliberation. Often, we exclude from thought those concepts which are strongly antagonistic to views we already hold. Back to the stereotypes of conservatives/liberals – when these two groups engage in dialogue, they are largely speaking past each other. Instead of embracing each other in an attempt to understand what is really being said, the debate centers on what each party has included in their thinking…while focusing on what the other party has excluded in their thinking. The conservative promotes the value of business, the liberal the value of social structures. The conservative criticizes the liberal’s lack of business focus; the liberal criticizes the conservative’s lack of social focus. We argue our points of inclusion and criticize the points of exclusion in the reasoning of others. Similarly, we are uniquely susceptible to logical fallacies in domains in which we have strong beliefs. The stronger our beliefs, the more susceptible we are to fallacies. Moving back to politics – we are often very forgiving of errors within our personal party. We are not very compassionate to errors in “the other party”. This is particularly the case when we are espousing personal theories. When I’m discussing connectivism with colleagues, I’m aware of my willingness to forgive cognitive conflicts in my own theory. I’m much more critical of the shortcomings of behaviourism, cognitivism, or constructivism. Why is that? Why do our cognitive processes function in a domino fashion (see Ideas as Corridors)? Why is it so hard for liberals to see value in conservative views (and vice versa)? The process of exclusion is a vital learning process. We cannot possibly consider every facet of a new idea. We exclude in order to be able to move to the point of active cognitive interaction with an idea. Exclusion occurs during the filtering process. What we choose to ignore speaks to our larger worldview (beliefs and values). When we are trying to influence the values of others (for example, in helping students learn about other cultures), we spend our time trying to get the learner to acquire new mindsets. We need to take a step back and focus on what is happening during the filtering process. By analyzing what we exclude in our own reasoning, we are able to gain a better understand of our own learning process. It’s unrealistic to regularly evaluate our core beliefs and values, but a periodic evaluation may provide the ability for more effective learning in general. What we ignore in learning can be a valuable tool to ensure that our perspectives are properly balanced (and at minimum acknowledge the existence of other viewpoints contrary to our own). Sometimes, the ability to step out of our thought corridor, and into the corridor of an “opponent”, can lead to deep insight and understanding. Not all learning (or cognitive activity) is logical. The choice to include/exclude information may be the point were emotional intelligence exerts its greatest influence. Thoughts?

The RC5 cryptography challenge (link: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RSA_Secret-Key_Challenge) was originally started by RSA Laboratories as a worldwide contest to decode a cipher by finding the secret cryptographic key using a brute-force approach. The 72-bit version of the same contest continues today, conducted by distributed.net -- one of the oldest open public distributed computing projects on the internet. Professor Gaurav Khanna of the Physics Department and Associate Director of the Center for Scientific Computing and Visualization Research (CSCVR), and computer technician Glenn Volkema, have built a novel supercomputer using consumer video-gaming components (over a hundred Sony PlayStations and multiple AMD Radeon graphics-cards) that has enabled the campus' rank to soar to the absolute top of the RC5-72 contest participant list. This unique system is generating approximately 50 billion keys per second and is slated to have a 1 in 10 chance for winning the contest all by itself! The supercomputer has been built to study various astrophysical problems associated to binary black hole systems and gravitational radiation. Physics Department graduate students, Tyler Spilhaus and William Duff are already utilizing the system extensively for their research projects in this context. In addition, Computer and Information Science major, Violette Pfeiffer will be using the system to study different aspects of cryptography and cybersecurity.

A prepaid expense is an advance payment made with a reasonable, certain anticipation of a future expense. Because the advance payment is for a future expense that has not occurred, it is classified as a current asset on the balance sheet of a business. Quarterly tax estimates, insurance premiums and retainer fees are among the pre-paid expenses often found on a company's balance sheet and reconciled on a monthly basis. Insurance premiums for corporate insurance policies are typically paid a year in advance. The advance payment is recorded on the balance sheet as a current asset. You would debit, or increase, the prepaid insurance account and credit, or decrease, the cash account. At the time of this advance payment, no entries are made to the expense account since the insurance coverage period has not yet begun. After the coverage period begins and the premium is used and incurred monthly, the prepaid insurance account is credited, or decreased, while the actual expense account is debited, or increased. Corporations pay estimated federal and state income taxes each quarter based on their quarterly estimated taxable income. On the balance sheet, a debit is made to the prepaid taxes account and a credit is made to the cash account. When a corporation determines its true tax liability at the filing of the annual tax return, overpayments can remain in the balance of the prepaid tax account. Underpayments will decrease the prepaid tax account balance and increase the accounts payable account. A prepaid rent account is set up when a business pays rent in advance of the current rental and balance sheet period. This future payment is recorded on the balance sheet as a current asset. You would debit, or increase, the prepaid rent account credit, or decrease, the cash account. Once the rental period for which the advance payment was made has begun, the prepaid rent account will be decreased by a credit for the rent amount, while the rent expense account will be increased by a debit for the same amount. No entries are made to cash at this time since the actual cash transaction occurred at the time of the advance payment. Prepaid Legal Fees A legal retainer is the advanced payment made to secure the legal services of an attorney. The set fee typically includes a contracted number of hours and services. It is recorded as a debit to the prepaid legal fees account and a credit to the cash account. When legal services are provided by the attorney, you would credit the prepaid legal fee account and debit the legal fees expense account. - Comstock/Comstock/Getty Images
– An Easy Method For Learning To Play The Harmonica The Fascinating History of The Harmonica Tablature harmonica notation was invented during the 19th century. Free-reed instruments were well known throughout Asia and somewhat known throughout Europe at that time. In 1820, free-reed instruments started being developed in Europe. Christian Friedrich Ludwig Buschmann is often cited as the inventor of the harmonica, but other inventors developed similar instruments around the same time. The first harmonica appeared in Vienna, and Richter tuning was a common feature from the start. By the late 19th century harmonicas had became a mass production market, with new designs such as the chromatic harmonica, the bass harmonica, and the chord harmonica coming on to the scene. Harmonica Players of Old Times Harmonicas rapidly became popular in the United States when harmonica manufacturer Hohner shipped some harmonicas to his relatives in the states in 1857. President Lincoln carried a harmonica in his pocket while Wyatt Earp and Billy The Kid played the harmonica. In the 1920s, the first recordings of harmonicas were made, primarily for the black and poor white markets down south, with solo recordings being made by Deford Bailey and duo recordings being made by guitarists Hammie Nixon, Walter Horton, and Sonny Terry. In the 1930s, the harmonica saw more respect as a musical instrument when it was utilized by famous composers such as Ralph Vaughan Williams, Malcolm Arnold, Darius Milhaud and Arthur Benjamin for classical works of music. The 1950s saw the harmonica being used in blues music, during which several musicians such as Big Walter Horton and Stevie Wonder helped further develop the artistry of harmonica play. Harmonicas In Recent Times Contemporary artists have continued to push the envelope in harmonica play, and the harmonica is now being integrated in to rock as well as blues music. The harmonica is also popular in Europe and Japan. Additionally, the harmonica has been employed in many pulmonary rehabilitation programs due to its resemblance to the kind of exercises used to rehabilitate COPD patients. Harmonica Festivities Word Wide Every four years the World Harmonica Festival is held in Germany where the Hohner harmonica company is located. The Asia Pacific Harmonica Festival is also held regularly and was hosted by China in 2008. There is also a harmonica contest in Idaho every August called the Yellow Pine Harmonica Contest that has been running since 1989. Other Free Reed Instruments There are other free-reed instruments that have developed over the years alongside the harmonica. Some of these instruments are the concertina, the diatonic accordion, the chromatic accordion, and the melodica. Harmonica Tabular Notation Harmonicas use tablature notation, which is a form of notation that indicates where the notes are played on the instrument as opposed to indicating pitches with circles and note heads printed on a staff (like standard notation). Tabulature makes it easier for beginners to learn to play the harmonica thanks to it indicating the placement of notes directly on the instrument. No matter what style of harmonica you play, chances are you will enjoy the ease with which it can be learned, the exercise that comes with blowing and drawing on its chambers, and the pride in learning a new instrumental wonder.
Fitness is a concept that describes an overall healthy state of the body. It reposes on several elements that need to be gathered and maintained to achieve the fit state. As it is a concept th. at is related to human being, it inherits the variability according age and gender. Also, everyone don’t have the same criteria for considering one’s self as fit. Commonly, there are some conventional aspects that are set to determine the fitness levels. Along with the criteria, achieving fitness responds to several rules ; the process requires a definite fitness program that should respect the overall individual situation. Fitness program: do you need one? Fitness is an average score that you obtain when performing several tests. The test should tell you whether you need a fitness program or no; also it is possible to determine what aspect to consider in your program. Of course, tests are set to match your age and gender; men and women may pass the same tests but with little differences that affect the amplitude and the periods. Brief, they do not suffer the same rates and ranges of values. Some tests to perform are: - Push up test: women are allowed to adopt the bent knee position, set to test the triceps and the chest. - Abdominal tests: the number of repetition differs whether the subject is male or female. This group include the kraus weber test. - Agility test: targets the speed and the ability of avoiding obstacles along the way. - Balance test: consists in maintaining a certain position for a given period of time. The fitness program would eventually target the unfitting aspect determined through the tests’ results. It is advised to set the program in cooperation with your physician and/or trainer. Fitness program elements: According the tests’ results analysis, the physician is called to set up the appropriate fitness program that wold help the subject to achieve the best of his potential. The program is supposed to be as complete as possible and has to respect the individual specificity. It may introduce new dietary habits, new lifestyle and may also require some fitness equipments (home fitness equipments) - Fitness nutrition: it is important to know that nutrition plays a critical role in fitness achievement. In fact, the best fitness program has to include the proper diet to supply the body with the essential elements to boost the results naturally. For example, if you need to lose weight, you will be avoiding fat foods and eating ingredients with balanced load of glucids, proteins and fibers. - Fitness workout: fitness program includes well scheduled fitness workout sessions. Actually, it is important to know your potential and try not to over do it not to exhaust the muscles and lead to unwanted outcomes. The workout sessions have to be alternated with sufficient rest periods allowing the body to recover. - Fitness equipment: it is also important to have fitness equipment that helps achieving the results. For example, choosing the accurate fitness gear is not a simple task and should be conducted carefully. Obviously, setting a fitness program is like going on medicine; the better is to get the it prescribed. But, it is not that dangerous to set your own program. It is important to maintain the pace and persevere in order to obtain the maximum results.
Stainless steel is a popular material for producing tableware due to its durability, corrosion resistance, and ease of cleaning. It is an alloy composed primarily of iron, with varying levels of other elements such as chromium, nickel, molybdenum, and carbon. The chemical composition of stainless steel can affect its properties, making it an optimal choice for various applications. Chromium is the most critical element for stainless steel as it creates a passive layer that protects the metal against corrosion and oxidation. The higher the chromium content, the more corrosion-resistant the steel. Nickel, on the other hand, increases resistance to acids and alkalis, making stainless steel more suitable for use in aggressive environments. Another element commonly used in stainless steel production is molybdenum, which improves resistance to pitting corrosion, especially in chloride-rich environments. Carbon is added to increase hardness and strength, while nitrogen aids in improving resistance to pitting and crevice corrosion. Stainless steel has many advantages over other materials used in tableware production. It is incredibly durable, meaning it can withstand high temperatures, wear, and tear. Stainless steel is also non-reactive with food, meaning it does not affect the taste or aroma of the food served in it. Furthermore, this material is easy to clean and maintain, requiring only soap and water to clean. It is also resistant to staining, scratching, and rusting, making it a cost-effective and long-lasting option for restaurants, hotels, and households. However, there are some disadvantages of using stainless steel for tableware production. It is a poor conductor of heat, so it is not recommended to use it to serve hot liquids. Stainless steel can also be clunky and heavy, making it challenging to handle for some people. Lastly, while it is corrosion-resistant, it is not entirely corrosion-proof and can still rust or corrosion if exposed to harsh environments or inappropriate usage. Overall, stainless steel is an ideal material for tableware production and has become a staple in the foodservice industry. However, it is essential to consider the chemical composition and properties of the steel to ensure it meets specific needs. With proper care and maintenance, stainless steel tableware can last for years, providing a durable and cost-effective option for all your foodservice needs. Zirconium metal is a strong and corrosion-resistant material that is highly valued in many industries due to its unique combination of chemical and mechanical properties. It has a high melting point, is ductile, and has excellent thermal and electrical conductivity. Chemically, zirconium is known for its strong resistance to corrosion, particularly in acidic environments. This makes it an ideal choice for applications such as nuclear reactors, where it is used to create fuel cladding and other components that must withstand high levels of radiation and extreme temperatures. In addition to its use in nuclear applications, zirconium metal is also commonly used in the aerospace, chemical, and medical industries. It has excellent biocompatibility, and is often used in medical implants and instruments due to its strength and resistance to corrosion. One supply case for zirconium metal is the US-based company Nuclear Fuels Services Inc, which supplies zirconium alloys to the nuclear industry for use in fuel rods and other critical components. They also offer a range of other nuclear materials and services. Overall, zirconium metal is a versatile and reliable material with a range of applications across many industries. Its unique chemical and mechanical properties make it an ideal choice for challenging environments where strength, durability, and corrosion resistance are critical factors. Stainless steel brushing, also known as satin finishing or matte finishing, is a surface treatment process that enhances the appearance and durability of stainless steel products. The process involves the use of abrasive materials to create a consistent, smooth matte finish on the surface of the metal. Typically, stainless steel brushing is performed using a rotary brush or belt sander loaded with abrasive materials such as silicon carbide or aluminum oxide. These materials are applied to the surface of the metal in a controlled manner to achieve the desired finish. One of the primary benefits of stainless steel brushing is its ability to improve corrosion resistance. The surface of stainless steel products that have been brushed is less likely to rust or corrode than other finishes. This makes it an ideal choice for products that are exposed to high moisture environments or harsh chemicals. Additionally, stainless steel brushing enhances the appearance of products, making them more attractive and professional-looking. The surface of brushed stainless steel is aesthetically pleasing and can add value to architectural, automotive, and industrial applications. Moreover, stainless steel brushing is a relatively inexpensive process that offers long-lasting results. The finish is durable and can withstand wear and tear, making it ideal for high-traffic areas. It is also easy to clean and maintain, requiring only a damp cloth or mild soap and water. Finally, stainless steel brushing is a sustainable process that can be used for recycling stainless steel products. The process removes any existing rust or contaminants from the surface, leaving the metal clean and ready to be repurposed without the use of harsh chemicals or other harmful materials. In conclusion, stainless steel brushing is a valuable process that provides numerous benefits to the industrial, manufacturing, and architectural industries. Its ability to improve corrosion resistance, enhance appearance, and increase durability make it an ideal finishing option. Moreover, it is a cost-effective and sustainable process that can be used for both new and recycled products.

What started as a lesson plan more than 20 years ago, imagined by three Houston-area educators as a way to teach children about the Holocaust, has mushroomed into a worldwide phenomenon. The program calls for students to read poems and look at pictures made by children in the Terezín concentration camp – generally the last stop before Auschwitz – and then think about those children and make butterflies that are put on display. At the end of the book, when the students learn that most of those young authors and artists perished, 90 percent of the butterflies are cut down in a dramatic demonstration of the dangers of hatred, prejudice and apathy. It is estimated that 1.5 million children died between 1942 and 1944. Since “The Butterfly Project” began in 1995, even before Holocaust Museum Houston officially opened its doors, children and adults from every continent except Antarctica have contributed to the shared goal of making 1.5 million butterflies. Selections from this collection are on view at Holocaust Museum Houston in "Taking Flight: The Butterfly Project," curated by local artist and photographer Syd Moen. “They've been collecting butterflies for 20 years. That's incredible. It's overwhelming. You have no idea. There's three storage units,” says Moen. “Then it just sort of snowballed. It's just an exceptional project or a way to teach children about the Holocaust. [In the lesson plan], once the butterflies were done, the teacher would hang the butterflies from the ceiling and display them, and then at the very end of this book, they tell what happened to the children. “[Pavel Friedmann] wrote a poem called I never saw another butterfly . He was at Terezín, near Prague. That particular camp was sort of a show camp for propaganda reasons,” says Moen. Writers, artists, actors and musicians were sent to the camp, and many ended up as counselors and teachers who encouraged the children to write and draw. “I can imagine that for the children in the camp, creating art was a way for them to escape the situation or to put their feelings down in a way that they wouldn't get in trouble.” In Moen's own work, she is known for her little planets — stereographic projections of spherical panoramas that produce imaginary worlds. She is using one of her own little planets as a backdrop and destination for the art in this exhibit. The butterflies, hung from cables on black ribbons, float and wave as viewers move through the display. While only a few of the butterflies can be shown, the works come from both children and adults. “Some are stained glass, glass, ceramic; there are many crocheted ones, which the skill level is exceptional there. Some are painted. I can tell you that the staff and visitors that have seen me installing it are all thrilled. They've been living with the project for 20 years,” says Moen. “Some are from children, very poignant, very simple, and then there are some exquisite ones where you can tell that somebody really labored over them.” “Taking Flight: The Butterfly Project" opens February 12 and continues through July 31, at Holocaust Museum Houston, 5401 Caroline, open Monday to Friday, 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.; Saturday, 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.; Sunday, noon to 5 p.m., 713-942-8000, hmh.org.
Last Thursday, we went to Ernie Miller for a class about the owls native to Kansas. The naturalists brought out four different kinds of native owls; a Barn Owl, a Screech Owl, a Barred Owl, and a Great Horned Owl. They also showed us how their feathers have combs in the end for soundless flying, a hollow bone, an owl talon, and an example of an owl skull to show how big the eye sockets are. The naturalist showed us that if our eyes to skull ratio was the same as an owl’s, our eyes would be the size of tennis balls! We were also able to see what an owl pellet looks like after it’s been dissected, and the kids were able to learn about the various habitats that each owl lives in and the best time of year to see them in the wild or neighborhoods. Afterwards, some of the families explored the exhibits, checked out the bird feeders, where the kids spotted Bluejays and Cardinals and the other rooms in the nature center. We’ll be back at Ernie Miller on February 5th for the Inspector Insector class. We still have a couple of spots open for families interested in attending.
Forget Bush’s “Vision For Space Exploration”, is it about time for some common sense? Just in case you were wondering about what NASA is supposed to be doing, you’re not alone. On Monday, Buzz Aldrin, Feng Hsu and Ken Cox submitted a scathing draft letter proposing a radical change to ex-President Bush’s 2004 Vision for Space Exploration, stating that “post-Apollo NASA” has become a “visionless jobs-providing enterprise that achieves little or nothing,” in the field of re-usable, affordable or safe space transportation. The authors also call into question that logic of returning to the lunar surface. Tough words, but are they right? As it turns out, only yesterday (Wednesday) the word from the White House was that the US will still be returning to the Moon in 2020, regardless of the short-falls of Bush’s 2004 Vision… It’s fairly easy to start throwing abuse at the US space agency these days. Although NASA has been at the brunt of much critique over the years, the volume of the protests seem to be getting louder. On the one hand, this isn’t surprising; we are fast approaching the retirement of the space shuttle (next year), and there will be a shortage of human-rated US launch systems to maintain the nation’s presence in space until the first Constellation Program launch in 2015. Five years of depending on Russia to get astronauts into space is a problem on so many levels, forcing NASA to think quick (over a few years) to find a solution. NASA has also been suffering attacks from ex-administrators, highlighting mismanagement and the squandering of funds. To an extent, the politics can defend mismanagement, citing space exploration as an expensive venture where new technology is being developed (is there little wonder that project managers slip up?). However, when economic times are tough, and every $2 million has to be accounted for by government departments, waste becomes a very big issue. To make matters worse, on Tuesday, a carbon emissions monitoring satellite failed after launch, dropping into the ocean off the coast of Antarctica. Although launch failures come with the territory of space exploration, the Orbital Carbon Observatory (OCO) loss is a damaging sting for NASA. The OCO cost over a quarter of a billion dollars ($270 million) to develop. What’s at the root cause of these troubles? NASA was never intended as a long-term space agency. That’s according to the authors of the “Unified Space Vision” (as opposed to the 2004 “Vision of Space Exploration”) in any case. I can understand the intent of this paper, but unfortunately, I think it oversteps the mark. I will take the time to study the detail of Buzz et al.’s suggestions for the Unified Space Vision, as I’m sure the trio will share a valuable insight to how NASA should progress, but I’m already frustrated by some of the arguments picked out by the New Scientist coverage of the letter (a cut-down version of the draft letter will be sent to President Obama for his consideration). The gist of the argument is that NASA lacks direction, and since we’ve already been to the Moon, why do we want to go back? Since the Apollo Program was cancelled in the early 1970’s, NASA’s mission was pretty much complete. It’s one and only aim, to get man to the Moon (thereby winning the Space Race), had been achieved. What then? What do you do with a space agency when it’s completed its mission? Rather than closing down the agency, it trundled on and gradually found its own direction, researching and developing space science technologies, pushing robots (not man) into space. In part, I believe the importance of a lunar return mission may have been over-hyped, but the Moon remains a very important stepping stone for the future of manned space exploration. I would argue that although NASA won the Space Race, the US government failed to realise the importance of a manned lunar presence. If space funding continued at Apollo-era levels, a lunar colony wouldn’t be a pipe dream in the 21st Century; we’d still be there. These are very easy things to say in hindsight, at the end of the day, with Soviet power crumbling in the 1970’s, the threat of strategic struggle for the stars was something reserved for 007 movies, not real life. NASA had fulfilled its task, planting the US flag on the Moon, cut-backs were inevitable. The Moon was no longer of political importance. That said, it would appear President Obama has seen the advantage of getting US astronauts back to the Moon by 2020. It was announced via Aviation Weekly that: The fiscal 2010 NASA budget outline to be released by the Obama Administration Feb. 26 adds almost $700 million to the out-year figure proposed in the fiscal 2009 budget request submitted by former President Bush, and sticks with the goal of returning humans to the moon by 2020. The $18.7 billion that Obama will request for NASA – up from $18.026 billion for fiscal 2010 in the last Bush budget request – does not include the $1 billion NASA will receive in the $787 billion stimulus package that President Barack Obama signed Feb. 16. Aviation Week has learned that in addition to the human-lunar return, Obama wants to continue robotic exploration with probes to Mars and other Solar System destinations, as well as a space telescope to probe deeper into the universe. — Frank Morring, Jr., Aviation Week We’ll see if Aldrin’s Unified Space Vision makes a difference, but it would appear President Obama remains very motivated to see an American back on the Moon in a decade.

In Greek mythology, Melampus, or Melampous ( Μελάμπους ) , son of Amythaon and Idomene , was a soothsayer and healer who could talk to animals. A number of pseudepigraphal works of divination circulated under his name. Melampus in Myth As a young boy, he told his servants not to kill two snakes. Grateful, the snakes gave Melampus the ability to speak with animals. Melampus lived in Pylos during the reign of Anaxagoras or possibly Proetus. The prince suffered from a strange malady and the king offered a reward for anybody that could heal him. Melampus killed an ox and talked to the vultures that came to eat the corpse. They said that the last time they had had such a feast was when the king made a sacrifice. They told Melampus that the prince had been frightened of the big, bloody knife and the king tossed it aside to calm the child. It had hit a tree and injured a hamadryad, who cursed the prince with the sickness. The hamadryad told Melampus that he boy would be healed if the knife was taken out of the trunk of the tree and boiled, then the rusty water that resulted dranken by the prince. Melampus followed her directions and demanded two thirds of the kingdom for himself, and one third for his brother, Bias. The king agreed. When the women of Argos were driven mad by Dionysus, in the reign of Anaxagoras or possibly Proetus, he was brought in to cure them, but demanded a third of the kingdom as payment. The king refused, but the women became wilder then ever, and he was forced to seek out Melampus again, who this time demanded both a third for himself and another third for his brother Bias. After this there were three kings ruling Argos at any time, one descended from each of Bias, Melampus, and Anaxagoras. Melampus was succeeded by his son Mantius, and his house of Melampus lasted down to the brothers Alcmaeon and Amphilochus, who fought in the Trojan War. Late in his life, Melampus was kidnapped. In his cell, he overheard two termites talking, claiming they would be finished eating through Melampus' ceiling the next morning. Melampus demanded a move and made such a ruckus that the kidnappers acquiesced. When the ceiling collapsed the next morning, the kidnappers decided he was a prophet and to hold on to him might offend the gods. They let him go. Beside the entrance to the sanctuary of Dionysus is the grave of Astycratea and Manto. They were daughters of Polyidus, son of Coeranus, son of Abas, son of Melampus, who came to Megara to purify Alcathous when he had killed his son Callipolis. ...In Aegosthena is a sanctuary of Melampus, son of Amythaon, and a small figure of a man carved upon a slab. To Melampus they sacrifice and hold a festival every year. They say that he divines neither by dreams nor in any other way. The Argives are the only Greeks that I know of who have been divided into three kingdoms. For in the reign of Anaxagoras, son of Argeus, son of Megapenthes, the women were smitten with madness, and straying from their homes they roamed about the country, until Melampus the son of Amythaon cured them of the plague on condition that he himself and his brother Bias had a share of the kingdom equal to that of Anaxagoras. Now descended from Bias five men, Neleids on their mother's side, occupied the throne for four generations down to Cyanippus, son of Aegialeus, and descended from Melampus six men in six generations down to Amphilochus, son of Amphiaraus. Bias wooed Pero, daughter of Neleus. But as there were many suitors for his daughter's hand, Neleus said that he would give her to him who should bring him the kine of Phylacus. These were in Phylace, and they were guarded by a dog which neither man nor beast could come near. Unable to steal these kine, Bias invited his brother to help him. Melampus promised to do so, and foretold that he should be detected in the act of stealing them, and that he should get the kine after being kept in bondage for a year. After making this promise he repaired to Phylace and, just as he had foretold, he was detected in the theft and kept a prisoner in a cell.

Commedia performances essentially were a form of improvisational street theater. Individual street performers banded together to form traveling troupes, and the players developed their own chosen roles. The first record of a commedia troupe dates to 1545. The most famous early troupe, the Gelosi, was founded by a husband-and-wife team and performed from 1568 to 1604. Over time, universal stock characters were created: vecchi (old men/masters), a category which included Il Capitano, a bullying braggart in military uniform who is always revealed to be a secret coward; innamorati (young lovers), who must overcome obstacles thrown at them by the vecchi; and zanni (eccentric servants/ clowns, including Pierrot and Harlequin. This is the origin of the English word zany). |Renoir's "White Pierrot"| Although the basic parameters of character and plot were preplanned, all of the dialogue and some of the stage business would be improvised, which allowed talented actors to adapt their schtick to suit the preferences of particular audiences and to add topical humor to the mix. Just as in modern-day improv, the players had to be witty, flexible and creative. In short, the phenomenon of commedia dell'arte (literally, "comedy of professional artists") introduced the concept of professional actors to Italy, and from there, to the rest of Europe. |Watteau, "Italian Comedians"| And video games. Stay with me now. Role-playing: check. Stylized characters: check. Clearly identified good and bad guys: check. Need to improvise: check. In my opinion, all fans of role-playing games owe a debt of gratitude to these 16th-century innovators.

While technology in agriculture, for most people, is commonly limited to giant machines with internal combustion engines that block roads in the countryside for long periods as they crawl from field to field, a more current technology is taking a point of prominence for farmers. Machine-to-machine (M2M) technology is helping farmers overcome a wide variety of challenges that were often accepted as "part of the job" before M2M systems came into being. What kinds of problems are being solved by M2M use in farming? Several, as it turns out, starting with bats. While bats leave a lot of people with a good old-fashioned case of the heebie-jeebies, bats are actually not only safe around people (less than 1 percent actually carrying rabies), but helpful around crops, as they commonly eat their body weight in insects every single day. Many of these insects pose serious hazards to crops, and the equivalent in pesticides would cost billions of dollars to put into play. So what's a farm to do? Take advantage of the bats' bug-eating potential by using wireless M2M tracking devices to see where the bats are going and encourage them to stick around fields by offering accommodations like "bat houses" for them. Additionally, as many farms saw this summer, the proper use of irrigation can mean the difference between a good harvest and a wiped-out farm operation. But like anything else, the potential for waste is always there – irrigation commonly doesn't run itself – and using a remote monitoring system like those offered by McCrometer can help. Designed to operate safely in remote areas thanks to rugged construction and several different interface systems, remote monitoring systems allow farmers to more readily get the precious water that crops need to the crops that most need it without a lot of wasted time pumping water. Irrigation poses another problem for farms, though, as a bad economy drives some to stealing copper and other metals from the irrigation systems. Since they're often in remote locations, witnesses are few, and thieves can make off with the irrigation at minimal risk to themselves. Enter the WireRat, an M2M device that can detect missing cables and, wirelessly, transmit warnings by several different measures back to the owner so that steps can be taken to stop the thieves in progress. Even grapes are seeing advantages from M2M systems, with farmers taking advantage of a variety of different M2M systems to monitor weather and track changing conditions to better take advantage of the best weather conditions in which to perform certain tasks. Technology has changed virtually every market on Earth. From medicine to communications to even agriculture, more and more systems have been affected by improvements to the technology. It's not too surprising to see farmers make adaptations to the way they do business to match, even if few ever thought that that level of technology would be commonly available for farmers to use. The food that gets to our plates starts with farms, and so, seeing farms do better with improved technology is a move that we all can get behind. M2M is going to be a major part of that for some time to come, and that's something we can all ask for a second helping of. Want to learn more about M2M technologies?

Editor's Note: The following text is a verbatim transcription of an article written by George W. Murdock for the Kingston (NY) Daily Freeman newspaper in the 1930s. Murdock, a veteran marine engineer, wrote a regular column. Articles transcribed by HRMM volunteer Adam Kaplan. For more of Murdock's articles, see the "Steamboat Biographies" category at right. No. 79- A.B. VALENTINE The steamboat “A.B. Valentine” is another of the Hudson river vessels that began her career under a different name than the one which she bore when her days of sailing the waters of the river were ended. The original vessel was built in the early “forties” [1840s] - a wooden hull steamboat used in passenger service and running under the name “Santa Claus.” The “Santa Claus” ploughed the waters of the Hudson River in 1846 between New York and Albany as a day boat in the service of the People’s Line. In 1847, she ran for a short time between New York and Pierpont, [Piermont] and was later returned to the New York-Albany route. One notable feature of the “Santa Claus” was a painting which she displayed on her wheelhouses. This painting portrayed Santa Claus himself making his entrance into the chimney of a home - the spirit of the legend of old Saint Nick coming down the chimney with his sackful of toys at Christmas-tide. During the season of 1848 the “Santa Claus” carried passengers between Wilbur and New York in dayline service. At that early period there were few docks along the Rondout Creek and the section did not represent the beehive of activity which later developed. About the year 1853 Thomas Cornell of Rondout purchased the steamboat “Santa Claus” and converted her from a passenger-carrying vessel into a towboat. She ran under the Cornell banner as the “Santa Claus” until 1868. During the winter of 1869 the towboat “Santa Claus” was entirely rebuilt at Red Hook, South Brooklyn, and when she next appeared she carried the name of “A.B. Valentine,” in honor of the New York agent employed by Thomas Cornell. The dimensions of the “A.B. Valentine” were listed as follows: Length of hull, 205 feet; breadth of beam, 25 feet; depth of hold, 9 feet; gross tonnage, 308; net tonnage, 191; vertical beam engine with a cylinder diameter of 50 inches with a 10 foot stroke. The overhauling of the former ”Santa Claus” and its re-appearance as the “A.B. Valentine” gave the Cornell line a practically new steamboat. She was placed on the towing route between Rondout and New York, running on this route until the fall of 1887, taking the place of the “George A. Hoyt". The following spring the “A.B. Valentine” was placed in service between Rondout and Albany, towing in line with the towboat “Norwich,” under the command of Captain Jerry Patterson and with Andrew Barnett as chief engineer. She continued in service until the fall of 1901, when she seemed of no further use and was sold to J.H. Gregory of Perth Amboy, New Jersey. A peculiar coincidence in connection with the history of the steamboat “A.B. Valentine” is found in the fact that on the day she was sold to the wreckers, the man whose name she bore, died. A.B Valentine had served as superintendent of the Cornell Steamboat Company of New York for half a century. The “A.B. Valentine” left Rondout on her last voyage on December 17, 1901, sailing to Perth Amboy, where she was broken up. Cornell Steamboat Company towboat "A. B.

Murdock (b. 1853-d. 1940) was a veteran marine engineer who served on the steamboats "Utica", "Sunnyside", "City of Troy", and "Mary Powell". He also helped dismantle engines in scrapped steamboats in the winter months and later in his career worked as an engineer at the brickyards in Port Ewen. In 1883 he moved to Brooklyn, NY and operated several private yachts. He ended his career working in power houses in the outer boroughs of New York City. His mother Catherine Murdock was the keeper of the Rondout Lighthouse for 50 years.

GSK hails Ebola vaccine breakthrough The devastation of the Ebola outbreak in parts of West Africa has been one of the most shocking and distressing stories of the year. Tonight there is a glimmer of hope - the first evidence that a vaccine could be available for health workers and others battling to bring the virus under control. Ultimately, it could mean a vaccine for everyone in areas at risk. Sir Andrew Witty, the chief executive of GSK, told the BBC that new clinical data published tonight was "very encouraging" and that a viable vaccine could be available in the second half of next year - If these early trials continue to provide positive results. The National Institutes of Health (NIH) in America has just released the first trial data for the vaccine that GSK is working on in its laboratories in Italy and Belgium. Twenty adults were tested and an immune response to Ebola was prompted in each of them. The vaccine was also "well tolerated" by each of the people tested. "It's a very encouraging first signal," Sir Andrew told me. "Whether it's a breakthrough depends on making sure that all the rest of data over the next few weeks and months is in line. But this certainly gives us very significant cause for optimism. "We've been looking at a potential Ebola vaccine, we've been looking at its basic safety and whether or not it can generate an immune response in healthy volunteers - and the data is very encouraging. "But we need to put it into context - this is a very accelerated development programme and this is the first bit of data. "It's the first piece of what will be a jigsaw of information that we are going to gather over the next five or six weeks before we move to the next stage." Of course, as Sir Andrew says, any developments must be kept in perspective and there are a number of other trials still to report this year. Any of those could throw up major problems in the vaccine's progress. The NIH is certainly encouraged by these initial findings. "The unprecedented scale of the current Ebola outbreak in West Africa has intensified efforts to develop safe and effective vaccines, which may play a role in bringing this epidemic to an end and undoubtedly will be critically important in preventing future large outbreaks," said Anthony Fauci, of the NIH's National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases. "Based on these positive results from the first human trial of this candidate vaccine, we are continuing our accelerated plan for larger trials to determine if the vaccine is efficacious in preventing Ebola infection." Sir Andrew said if the next series of smaller trials are similarly successful, then a major clinical trial of thousands of health workers in Sierra Leone and Liberia will take place early next year. "If all goes well, the large scale clinical trial will be largely with healthcare workers, burial workers and people who are in close proximity to people with Ebola," Sir Andrew said. "If the vaccine works, it will of course be a significant advantage to those workers. "If overall that trial is successful, all things being equal, [that] should move us to a rapid licence for that vaccine. "We are busy working out how we scale up manufacturing capacity, so that as we move into the second half of next year we would be in a position to manufacture very large quantities - that means millions of doses of the vaccine [being] available if governments and health authorities felt it necessary to go further than vaccinating health care workers." That means a vaccine could be made available to resident populations in the affected countries. As well as GSK, Johnson & Johnson and Merck are also proceeding with trials. In this emergency situation, the pharmaceutical sector as a whole has been asked by G20 governments and the World Health Organisation to take on a considerable degree of financial and legal risk through this accelerated programme. For example, the programme is not going through all the usual stages of a vaccine's development - which would normally take many years. If something does go wrong in the future, the pharmaceutical sector does not want to be the only part of the process exposed to, for example, legal action. To tackle that, Sir Andrew said that GSK is in discussions with governments of the G20, including America and the UK, about an indemnification agreement. "We are not waiting for that to be settled [but] it is obvious there are some risks that companies should not be expected to carry on their own," Sir Andrew said. "This is a very special circumstance. "There is a risk [in the] development - and it is important to know that organisations like the NIH in America and the European Union are helping to support some of these trial costs - so that is an important contribution and shows good solidarity. "In terms of the indemnity risk, those conversations go on - we have a good precedent for this with the pandemic influenza case of three of four years ago." On that occasion governments agreed to offer GSK indemnities in return for supplies of its flu vaccine. Sir Andrew said that the indemnity issue was not holding back development of the Ebola vaccine. "We take our responsibilities very seriously to make sure that there is good access to our vaccines, even in countries which can't pay very much for it," he said. "It sounds trite but in a situation like this you have to do the right thing. It turns out that on this project we are the leader in terms of time - the right thing to do was for us to commit all our energies to make this thing happen. "We are doing that - we are taking risks, we are taking financial risks. We have taken decisions without being asked. "We've taken decisions without the guarantee of compensation. I think that's the right human response to this crisis. "Whether we are a big company or not, we are still humans. "We are talking about people's lives here, every day counts, we get that, our employees get that. Our scientists are working 24/7 to deliver for those people in those camps." Today's break-through is another important step on the journey to finding a vaccine against Ebola.
Scientists have uncovered what, for some couples, may be an uncomfortable truth: all people of European descent are related. Researchers from the University of California, Davis, conducted what they described as one of the first surveys of recent European genealogical ancestry over the past 3,000 years. “We detected 1.9 million shared long genomic segments, and used the lengths of these to infer the distribution of shared ancestors across time and geography,” the scientists wrote in their paper. “We find that a pair of modern Europeans living in neighbouring populations share around 12 genetic common ancestors from the last 1,500 years, and upwards of 100 genetic ancestors from the previous 1,000 years.” The researchers concluded that “individuals from opposite ends of Europe are still expected to share millions of common genealogical ancestors over the last 1,000 years.” One of the co-authors of the paper, Graham Coop from the University of California, Davis, said the study focused on Europe. “While it is likely true that all humans world-wide likely share all common ancestors a few thousand years ago, we can only demonstrate this in Europe so far,” he said. Pause for thought Associate Professor Darren Curnoe, a human evolution specialist at the University of New South Wales, said the findings should be a major pause for thought. “This research greatly reinforces the idea that we living humans are all exceptionally closely related, no matter where we live today or our perceptions of our ancestry,” said Dr Curnoe, who was not involved in the study. “Bigotry based on "race” should be seen for what it is, completely divorced from biological reality. We all share very recent direct ancestors no matter where you come from." The new findings also apply to Australians of European heritage, he said. “We can all trace our immediate ancestors back only a handful of generations, only a few thousand years. The differences we think we see are remarkably superficial and largely biologically meaningless,” he said. “If your ancestors are from a relatively small part of Europe, especially say Eastern Europe, then all of your direct genetic ancestors may have lived only in the last thousand years. For the whole of Europe, this might be just a few thousand years.” The end of ‘race’? Professor Maciej Henneberg, Wood Jones Professor of Anthropological and Comparative Anatomy at the University of Adelaide said the findings mean that “all Australians of European heritage are closely related and there is no use distinguishing between Australians of English or Irish ancestry and those of Greek or Italian heritage.” “Biological anthropologists have argued for the last 50 years that human species cannot be divided into "races” because all humans are so closely related that there is not enough difference between gene pools of people living in different continents to produce reliable biological distinctions between Africans, Europeans, Asians and so on,“ said Professor Henneberg, who was not involved in the study. “The few externally visible differences like skin colour or nose shape are not enough to justify divisions.” Professor Henneberg said it was no wonder all Europeans were related. “In a densely populated continent, genes travel through neighbourly contact. In one generation, somebody marries someone from the next village, in the next, a person from that village marries somebody from yet another village further away and so on,” he said. “This way, with nobody moving more than 20 kilometres in a generation, a gene can travel about 2000 kilometres (the distance from Berlin to Madrid) in 3000 years.”
A Short Flight for a Jet, A Giant Leap for a Jet Engine GE – Over the last several weeks, crews at GE Aviation’s flight test base in Victorville, CA, at the edge of the Mojave Desert, installed a next-generation jet engine with ceramic components and 3-D printed parts to the wing of a modified Boeing 747, and readied it for its maiden flight. The engine, called LEAP, successfully took to the skies on Monday (Oct 6). There are three versions of the jet engine: the LEAP-1A for the new Airbus 320neo passenger jets, the LEAP-1B for Boeing’s 737MAX aircraft, and the LEAP-1C for China’s COMAC C919 planes. The LEAP is the bestselling family of jet engines in GE history. CFM has received more than $100 billion in orders (U.S. list price) from airlines like United, Air Asia, American Airlines and easyJet. They will use them on single-aisle aircraft, the fastest growing market in commercial aviation. more> http://tinyurl.com/qzqsbqj Posted in Business, Economy, Energy & emissions, Science, Technology, Transportation Tagged Aviation, Business, Efficiency, GE, Jet engine, LEAP, Technology Everything is Bigger in Texas, but These New Gas Turbines Up the Ante GE – Harriet, whose real name is the 9HA, is the largest and most efficient gas turbine in the world. GE spent more than $1 billion to develop the turbines. The company built a special testing center in Greenville, where engineers are currently putting the first Harriet through tests. The turbine, which was manufactured at a GE plant in Belfort, France, is equipped with more than 3,000 sensors. They collect mechanical, temperature and exhaust data, and feed it to a brand new data-crunching center next door. Under the hood, Harriet combines designs and materials originally developed by GE scientists for supersonic jet engines and other advanced technology. They include aerodynamic blades made from single-crystal alloys, thermal barrier coatings and ceramic matrix composites. Later generations of the turbine will also include 3D-printed parts. more> http://tinyurl.com/m2np8km Posted in Business, Economy, Energy & emissions, Science, Technology, Transportation Tagged Construction, Electrical equipment, Gas turbine, GE, Industrial economy, Manufacturing The Century-Old Panama Canal is Opening Up to a Busy Future GE – The Panama Canal is a full century old, but that doesn’t mean it still can’t grow. The 48-mile-long landmark that cuts across “the backbone of the Western Hemisphere” is going through the final year of a massive expansion. When work is completed in 2015, new locks will allow giant “New Panamax” class of container ships and supertankers through and boost the canal’s capacity by half. In 1914, the canal used 500 GE motors to operate the locks, with 500 more installed elsewhere in the system. GE also built the power plants that provided the canal with electricity and designed the centralized control equipment for the locks. One historian noted that GE “produced about half the electrical equipment needed during construction and virtually all of the permanent motors, relays, switches, wiring and generating equipment. They also built the original locks towing locomotives and all of the lighting.” Those 40 electric towing locomotives were made in Schenectady, NY. Since ships were not permitted to pass through the locks under their own power, these “lock mules” rode on rails next to the canal and pulled them through the locks. Custom gears and electrical design allowed them to run as slow as 1 mph, the speed required for gently tugging large vessels. more> http://tinyurl.com/kuvm694 Posted in Business, Construction, Economic development, Economy, History, Nature, Science, Technology, Transportation Tagged Construction, Electrical equipment, GE, History, Industrial economy, Manufacturing, Panama Canal This Deconstructed Locomotive Will Power Nigeria’s Economy GE – Nigeria has fast become Africa’s largest economy, but its infrastructure is still lagging. The electrical grid is so unpredictable that many businesses use natural gas to produce their own power. That’s why GE engineers recently converted a powerful diesel engine from a locomotive into an efficient stationary power plant that can produce enough electricity to supply a factory, or 6,600 Nigerian homes. The project was also an exercise in FastWorks, a set of tools and principles currently transforming GE culture into a leaner and faster company working close to customers. more> http://tinyurl.com/l9zvfj9 Posted in Business, Economic development, Economy, History, Science, Technology, Transportation Tagged Diesel generator, Electrical grid, GE, Industrial economy, Locomotive, Manufacturing, Nigeria Honey, I Shrunk the World: How Materials Scientists Made the Globe Smaller GE – Composites are made from alternating layers of fiber and sheets of carbon, plastic or ceramics, kind of like industrial-grade baklava. When joined together, composites can be tougher and lighter than steel or titanium. “This was a huge, expensive and risky project,” says Shridhar Nath, who leads the composites lab at GE Global Research. “We planned to replace titanium with what is essentially plastic. We were starting from scratch and we did not know how carbon fiber blades would respond to rain, hail, snow and sand, and the large forces inside the engine.” The bet paid off and GE has, over time, invested billions more in materials science. The composites research delivered a new line of large, fuel efficient jet engines like the GE90 and GEnx, that changed the economics of aviation forever. “The engines essentially opened the globe up to incredibly efficient, twin-powered, wide-body planes,” says David Joyce, president and CEO of GE Aviation. The latest engine in that family, the GE9X, will power Boeing’s next-generation 777X long-haul jets. Light-weight carbon composites allowed engineers to design an 11-foot fan that can suck a maelstrom of 8,000 pounds of air per second inside the engine. The air will flows into the combustor, where it meets parts made from ceramic matrix composites (CMCs), another breakthrough material developed by GE scientists. Carbon fiber composites work with cold air at the front of the engine. But CMCs operate in the engine’s hot section, at temperatures where even metals grow soft. The extra heat gained by the ceramics gives the engine more energy to work with and makes it more efficient. CMCs also have twice the strength and just a third of the weight of their metal counterparts. This allows designers to make parts from them thinner and much lighter, further reducing the weight of the engine. more> http://tinyurl.com/lt5wlnn Posted in Business, Economic development, Economy, History, Product, Science, Technology, Transportation Tagged Ceramic matrix composite, CMC, Composite material, GE, GEnx, Industrial economy, LEAP, Manufacturing, NASA Das Instant Auto: Say Hallo to a Hot Rod Powered by Water GE – The intriguingly named Quant e-Sportlimousine has been making a splash in Europe, where it was just approved for road use. The electric vehicle can go from 0 to 62 miles per hour in a ridiculous 2.8 seconds, reach a projected top speed of 217 mph, and has a range of 370 miles for one charge, according to its manufacturer, Liechtenstein-based NanoFlowCell AG. Oh, and it’s powered by a saltwater-filled battery. Unlike traditional batteries, which use solid materials to store and release electricity, flow batteries use charged liquids kept in separate tanks. The charged liquids come into close proximity only during power generation, greatly reducing the possibility of fire. “The safety is much higher and the electrode materials degrade much less during service,” Dr. Grigorii Soloveichik says. “You can re-use them many, many times.” Soloveichik says flow batteries could hold “tens of kilowatt-hours and up” of energy, since it is the size of the tanks that determines how much power the batteries can store. Besides cars, flow batteries could be used as backup power for commercial and residential systems, store electricity from renewable sources of energy, and also support the power grid. “They can store energy from wind, for example, so power companies can use it when they need it,” Soloveichik says. more> http://tinyurl.com/l5cuos2 Posted in Business, Economic development, Economy, Energy & emissions, Nature, Product, Regulations, Science, Technology, Transportation Tagged Electric vehicle, Flow battery, GE, Industrial economy, Manufacturing, Quant e-Sportlimousine Industrial Businesses Will Energize GE Brand’s Future Growth GE – GE executives are saying that the company’s future brand value will be driven almost entirely by technology and industrial products. Units like the Appliances business, which GE just agreed to sell to Sweden’s Electrolux, already contribute only a small share to the company’s brand. Distributed Power, which GE launched earlier this year, is helping electrify rapidly developing countries in Asia and Africa and transform the energy landscape by developing localized power generation and distribution systems. The quickly growing unit is already earning three times more money than GE’s entire Appliances unit. The focus on technology, the Industrial Internet and “brilliant machines” represents return to GE’s industrial roots, but one on a global scale. It started out as an U.S. industrial company manufacturing everything from electric elevators, street cars,and power plants capable of producing power for entire neighborhoods to engine superchargers for the nascent aviation industry. It even electrified the Panama Canal, when it first opened for traffic in 1914. GE’s century old Appliances business evolved in tandem with the spread of electricity and the electrical grid that GE pioneered. For many decades, GE was making both big dynamos for power plants as well as little motors for dishwashers and washing machines. With growing global demand for power, clean water and energy, however, GE is quickly becoming a pure-play infrastructure and technology company with a financial arm focusing on financing big industrial projects. more> http://tinyurl.com/kcxfmx5
Located majorly in the Himalayan Mountains, Jammu and Kashmir (often denoted as J&K) is a northern Indian state. The state shares a border with Himachal Pradesh and Punjab. It is the only Indian state with the majority population of Muslims. Jammu is famous for its numerous shrines and Kashmir valley is famous for its beautiful mountainous landscape. The summer capital of the state is Srinagar and winter capital is Jammu. The state is separated from Pakistani-administered territories via Line of Control and from Chinese-administered territory via Line of Actual Control. Jammu and Kashmir Population in the year 2019 As per the census 2011, the total population of the state was 12,541,302. In order to calculate the population of year 2019, we have to take a look at the population of the last 5 years. 2014 – 13.3 million 2015 – 13.6 million 2016 – 13.9 million 2017 – 14.12 million 2018 – 14.324 million Looking at the growth rate, we can say that the population of the state has been increasing at the rate of 0.204 million per year. Increasing at the same pace, the population of Jammu & Kashmir in the year 2019 will be 14.324 million + 0.204 million = 14.528 million. Demography of Jammu and Kashmir 68.3% of the state population practice Islam, followed by Hinduism (28.4%), Sikhism (1.9%), Buddhism (0.9%) and Christianity (0.3%). The proportion of Muslims fell to 64.19% by 1981 but recovered afterward, reaching 68.31% again by 2011. The major ethnic group includes Kashmiris, Bakarwals / Gujjars, Dogras, Ladakhis, and Paharis. Urdu written in the Persian script is the official language of the state. The other major language of the state includes Kashmiri, Urdu, Hindi, Punjabi, Dogri, Pahari, Ladakhi, Gojri, Balti, Shina and Pashto. The sex ratio is 889 females per 1000 males and the literacy rate is 67.16%. Density and Population Growth of Jammu and Kashmir The population density of Jammu and Kashmir is 56 persons per sq. km. The population of the state was 12.54 million in the year 2011 which showed an increase for the population of 10.1 millions in the year 2001. As per the 2011 census, there were 6,640,662 male and 5,900,640 female in the state. The total growth in this decade was 23.64% which was lower as compared to the 29.04% growth in the previous decade (2001). Facts about Jammu and Kashmir - The shrines of Jammu attract thousands of Hindu pilgrims every year and the region of Ladakh is known for its mountain beauty, which is also a famous tourist spot. - Jammu and Kashmir is famous for its valleys and the major valleys include the Kashmir Valley, Chenab Valley, Sind Valley, Poonch Valley, Tawi Valley, and Lidder Valley. - It is the only Indian state which has its own official state flag along with national flag and constitution. - With an average altitude of 5,753 metres (18,875 ft) above sea-level, the Siachen Glacier located in Jammu and Kashmir is 76 km (47 mi) long making it the longest Himalayan glacier. Other than this, the state is a home to several other glaciers. - The region of Ladakh is famous for its unique Indo-Tibetan culture. Chanting in Sanskrit and Tibetan language forms an integral part of Ladakh’s Buddhist lifestyle.
… but is it …? Posted: 01 Mar 2013 11:00 AM PST… by Will Greene Scientific literature regarding the future of water in the Southwest up to this point has been alarming, yet vague. In general, studies have confirmed that rising temperatures will hit the Southwest hard, with water availability shrinking significantly. Uncertainties related to the degree to which changes will affect evaporation and precipitation have stopped scientists short of making headline-generating predictions. That changed this week with the release of a new study by researchers at Colorado State University, Princeton, and the U.S. Forest Service that provides rare specifics as to how climate change may affect key reservoirs such as Lake Powell and Lake Mead that feed the Colorado River and therefore the Central Arizona Project (CAP). The study presented a number of varying scenarios dependent upon levels of greenhouse gas emissions and population stresses. One scenario details a dire future in which “Lakes Powell and Mead are projected to drop to zero and only occasionally thereafter add rather small amounts of storage before emptying again.” “We were surprised to find that climate change is likely to have a much greater effect on future water demands than population growth,” Forest Service research economist Tom Brown, who led the study along with CSU’s Jorge A. Ramirez, told Summit County Citizens Voice. “The combined effects of climate change on water supply and demand could lead to serious water shortages in some regions.” Colorado River Basin … CAP delivers on average 1.5 million acre-feet of Arizona’s 2.8 million acre-foot Colorado River entitlement each year. Of the annual average delivery, 52 percent of the water is currently used for municipal and industrial purposes (including recharge), 39 percent for agricultural irrigation districts, and 9 percent for Indian communities (Bureau of Reclamation). The study notes that significant water efficiency gains could be found by altering irrigation practices. With federal and international action on climate change stalled, worst-case scenarios such as the total evaporation of reservoirs like Powell and Mead are increasingly possible. If Central and Southern Arizona are to remain viable in the face of these threats, preparation must begin now with every conservation incentive on the table. Arizona’s farmers, ranchers, golf course operators, and landowners will need time to prepare for a future where water is priced at a level that more accurately reflects its scarcity. Regulators at the Central Arizona Water Conservation District board, Arizona Corporation Commission, and federal departments such as Interior, have their work cut out for them. Filed under: Blogroll
You may have heard the word microbiome thrown around a lot recently and basically what it means is the make-up of bacteria in our digestive tract (ie. our gut). Our gut is like a mini eco system made up of over 90% bacteria, a third of which is common for everyone however two-thirds is specific for each individual. Many things can affect how your microbiome is formed and the more varied strains of beneficial bacteria present the better. During childhood is when this can vary the most which is why it can often be encouraged to let children play in the dirt and be exposed to as many environments as possible. Other things that can affect our microbiome are illness, medications, stress and of course the food we eat. There is more and more research being funded for the influence of our microbiome on our overall health with findings suggesting it is related to many things from immunity, how we store fat, regulating glucose levels, controlling appetite, digestion, mental health, hormone and neurotransmitter production and determining our disease risk. So it is fair to say that building up ones microbiome with beneficial bacteria should be a key consideration with our diets. But does this mean guzzling bottles of kombucha, shoveling in mouthfuls of saurkraut and gulping down some kefir for dessert? Not quite! Our digestive tract is very sensitive and reactive (a change in diet can change your microbiome in just a few days) and too many fermented or bioactive foods can cause a lot of fermentation and production of acids leading to digestive distress. So what is good for out gut and how much is recommended? In general the best foods that have been shown to produce healthy microbes is one full of vegetables, fruits, legumes, wholegrains, extra virgin olive oil, yoghurt, dairy, nuts, seeds and fish due the fatty acid profile and high levels of antioxidants, polyphenols and fibre in these foods. Below are some other popular products that are good for some extra gut lovin: Fermented Vegetables: This includes saurkraut, kim chi and all of the other combinations available today. Start small with 1 teaspoon a few times per week and build up to a tablespoon at a meal (particularly to complement red meat which can be quite taxing to digest). Look out for products that have been heat treated (note you can pick these products as they will be stored on the shelf not the in the fridge). Heat treatment will kill off bacteria, good and bad, as well as enzymes so the benefits will not be present in these products. Kefir: This is a fermented milk similar to a drinking style yoghurt. Start with a tablespoon with a meal and then you can gradually build up to 1/2 cup per day. Look out for products with added artificial flavours and sugars - the ingredients should just be whole milk, kefir cultures and other cultures (and maybe water, milks solids). Kombucha: This is a fermented effervescent drink made from tea. As discussed in my post 'what is the deal with kombucha' you want to start small with just 30ml per day and then build up 1/2 to 1 cup per day. Keep in mind this is less then the serving of a bottle you would usually buy so drink half, and keep half for another time. Look out for products with added sugar, the only sugar should be what was used in the ferment process and this should be negligible on the label of the final product. Bone Broth: bone broth is not a fermented product and is benefits come more from it's healing properties to the cells lining our digestive tract. Because of this, there is less caution to start small so you can enjoy a cup per day and even add to curries, stews, soups or other meals where a regular stock might be called for. Prebiotics: these are generally overlooked for gut health but are super important as prebiotics are what feeds the probiotics and allows our microbiome to flourish. Prebiotics include onion, garlic, leek, asparagus, artichoke, tempeh, miso, banana, chicory root, oats, barley and flaxseeds. If you are looking to improve your gut health first look at bulking out your diet with mostly plant foods, including some healthy fats such as oily fish, extra virgin olive oil, nuts and seeds and you can't go past a multi strain probiotic supplement which is a concentrated source of the beneficial bacteria. The above fermented foods will also be a great addition to your diet although be sure to start small and build your way up, keeping in mind you don't have to have all of these every day.
Abortion in Ireland The IFPA believes that abortion is an intimate aspect of private life, intricately linked with human rights values and principles that protect a women’s and girls’ sexual and reproductive rights. Abortion in Ireland: a Historical Timeline When the Irish people voted in May 2018 to overturn Ireland’s constitutional ban on abortion, it signalled the end of over 150 years of the criminalisation of women and girls. Globally, an estimated 225 million women and girls wish to avoid pregnancy but do not have access to modern contraception. Reproductive rights embrace certain human rights that are already recognized in national laws, international human rights documents and other consensus documents. The IFPA advocates for legal and policy changes that will advance sexual and reproductive health and rights. The IFPA’s research project on abortion care explores whether the abortion law and our abortion service meet the needs of service-users.
What is meant by shifting-left in software development? In the field of software development, the appearance of defects while developing software is very common. It is an unavoidable situation which is faced by every developer working in the software industry. In common terms, it is usually known as ‘bug’. The only way to detect these bugs is by testing the application, now the question is what is meant by shifting-left? If we consider the software development life cycle the process starts with the early phases of development where usually the critical phases of testing are not required. Having said that, it is the usual practice to go about in the software development industry. But the problem starts when bugs are not fixed and later left unnoticed only to discover at the later phases that the defects are much larger in magnitude. hence the concept of shifting-left came about, it is found particularly in the Agile methodologies, and the DevOps enterprises. The problem of bugs in software development The above graph shows the percentage of defects which are usually introduced at the early phases of coding, this is a usually expected problem. Defects can be introduced even when parts of the application are assembled in the ecosystem. There is always a chance to detect bugs in an application. The bugs are introduced during coding but are never found in that phase as there is usually no testing done at that time due to a lack of proper infrastructure. This has a rippling effect on the cost incurred during the development of the software. It is observed that when the cost fixing the bugs rises steeply as it ten times more expensive to detect and fix bugs once the software crosses the initial phases and is in the unit testing phase. as the process moves further the cost becomes steeper. The mechanism of shifting-left Shifting-left means to practice testing at an early stage of software development if more critical tests are practiced then the problems can be detected and solved at its earliest. This will help in reducing the issues later. This process calls for a mature practice of the development procedure. The developers create a series of unit tests to cover the code as much as possible. Then the functional testers and the API testers come into action doing their best to not depend on the late-cycle testing. In this way, there will be enough manual tests or UI tests to show that things are working fine. It will also shift the concept from finding bugs in the late-cycle stages, these tests will be there only to prove its functionality. This procedure is based on the software testing pyramid to minimize the bugs at the initial stages. A proper test management tool can be of great help at this point. Take precautions before shifting-left farther It is a common practice among the organizations to stop shifting-left at this point, but some of them push it farther. This may or may not have positive effects on the bigger picture. There are a few points to consider before you decide to implement it, they are: - Consider the extra burden of testing on the developers if you want to push farther with shifting-left. As they are the ones to develop code and they are the ones again investing their time and energy on testing as well. - There are high chances that to reduce the extra burden they may consider testing early that very fewer bugs are detected; this will not help as the aim of shifting-left is to reduce the rate of bugs introduced not to suppress them. - Consider shifting-left methodology only after a thorough understanding of the development process of your software products, there can be issues with infrastructure and planning. - The code once checked into the Code Repository must be instantly integrated or built so that the failed builds get resolved quickly saving time. - Developers who perform Code Quality Tests before committing the code to Code Repository can produce better code, remove rework and can align them to the expected standards. Defects or bugs as we know them are a part of the software development procedure. To fix them cost, time and effort are required. These parameters increase as the bugs are detected in the late-cycle stages of software development. So, there is a tendency to reduce these steep charges by the organizations thru incorporating the practice of shifting-left. Though there is a chance of improvement there are some problems that may incur on the way, hence considering all the aspects before implementation would be a good idea.
Sources of radiation There are three sources of radiation in the dental office, primary, secondary and leakage. Primary and leakage radiation emanate from the x-ray machine. Primary radiation is generated at the anode target, collimated by the PID and directed toward patient to produce radiographs. Secondary radiation is scatter radiation created by primary beam interaction with matter such as the patient’s face and oral structures. And leakage, a form of secondary radiation, is emitted from the tube head encasement when x-rays are generated inside the x-ray tube. The dental assistant should avoid all three sources to minimize occupational exposure. Maximum permissible dose and maximum accumulated dose Individuals who use radiation to carry out their professional responsibilities are classified as occupationally exposed persons. Dose limits have been established for occupationally exposed persons, non-occupationally exposed persons (general public) and occupationally exposed pregnant women. The maximum permissible dose (MPD) is the dose of whole body radiation that is not expected to produce any significant somatic or genetic effects in a lifetime. Table 4 outlines the MPD for all three categories in both traditional and SI units and well as a formula for calculating the maximum accumulated dose for occupationally exposed persons. MPD compliance is achieved through adherence to radiation safety practices. The dental assistant’s ultimate goal should be zero occupational exposure. |Table 4. Maximum Permissible Dose| |MPD Dose Limits||Traditional Units||SI Units||Cumulative Dose| |Radiation worker||5.0 rem/year||50 mSv/year||10 mSv X age| |Pregnant radiation worker||0.5 rem term||5 mSv term|| | |General public||0.1 rem/year||1 mSv/year|| |
- This article is about the movie "The Sword in the Stone". For the object of the same name, see Sword in the Stone (object). The film begins in England with the death of the king, Uther Pendragon. No heir is named, and so England is threatened to be torn apart by war. Miraculously, the mystical "Sword in the Stone" appears in London, with an inscription proclaiming that whomever pulls it out is the rightful King of England. Many try to remove the sword,but none succeed and the sword is soon forgotten. Some years later, Arthur (a.k.a. Wart), a 12-year-old orphan training to be a squire, accompanies his older foster brother Kay on a hunting trip. Wart accidentally prevents Kay from shooting a deer, and goes to retrieve the arrow to make up for his mistake. In the woods, Wart falls into the cottage of Merlin, a powerful wizard. Merlin announces he will be Wart's tutor, packs up and the two return to Wart's home, a castle run by Sir Ector, one of Uther's knights and Wart's foster father. Ector does not believe in magic, and refuses to allow Merlin to tutor Wart. Merlin creates a blizzard and disappears, which persuades Ector to let Merlin stay, albeit in a decrepit old tower with countless leaks. Ector's friend and fellow knight, Sir Pellinore, arrives with news about the annual jousting tournament to be held on New Year's Day in London, only this time whose winner would be crowned King of England. Ector proposes that Kay be knighted and compete for the title, despite Kay's obvious ineptitude in both jousting and sword fighting. Merlin begins his tutoring by transforming Wart and himself into fish and going into the castle's moat. Wart is chased and attacked by a pike, and is saved by Archimedes, Merlin's owl. Wart is sent to the kitchen as punishment after he tried to tell his lesson to a disbelieving Ector. Merlin arrives and magics the dishes to wash themselves. He then takes Wart for another lesson, wherein he transforms Wart and himself into squirrels. Merlin teaches Wart about gravity, and about male-female relationships (as two female squirrels become infatuated with them). When they return to human form, Wart's female squirrel cries sadly when she sees he is really a boy. When they return to the castle, Ector accuses Merlin of using black magic on the dishes. Wart defends Merlin, and Ector punishes Wart by first setting him with a mountain of chores, then essentially told Wart he cooked his goose for "popping off" and choosing another boy as Kay's squire. Wart is devastated, but Merlin convinces him to continue with his education. For his 3rd lesson, Merlin transforms Wart into a sparrow. Wart then accompanies Archimedes on a flying lesson. Wart is attacked by a hawk and flies down the chimney of Madam Mim, a witch who is a rival to Merlin. Mim's magic uses trickery, as opposed to Merlin's scientific skill. Mim turns into a cat and chases Wart around her cottage. Merlin arrives, having been summoned by Archimedes, and begins to rebuke Mim. Madam Mim challenges Merlin to a Wizard's Duel, a battle of wits where the players try to destroy one another by transforming into different animals. Mim sets several ground rules, including the rules that only real animals may be used (no imaginary ones like pink dragons), and no disappearing. During the battle, both wizards transform themselves into a variety of creatures, such as: a turtle, a rabbit, a caterpillar, a walrus, a mouse, a crab, a goat, a crocodile, a fox, a hen, an elephant, a tiger, a snake and a rhino. Finally, Mim transforms into a purple dragon which is supposed to be against the rules (though Mim notes that she never explicitly outlawed purple dragons). Merlin is able to think quickly, and transforms himself into a germ and infects her. Mim is put to bed, ill, though it is said she would recover in a few weeks. At Christmas, Kay is knighted, but his squire comes down with the mumps, and so Ector reinstates Arthur as Kay's squire. Wart excitedly tells Merlin and Archimedes the news. But Merlin is disappointed that Wart still prefers war games to academics. Wart tries to explain that he cannot become a knight as he is an orphan, so a squire is the best position he can attain. This aggravates Merlin, who transforms himself into a rocket bound for Bermuda. Ector, Kay, Pellinore, Wart and Archimedes travel to London for the tournament. Moments before Kay's match, Wart realizes that he has forgotten Kay's sword at their inn, which is now closed because of the tournament. Archimedes notices a sword in a stone in a nearby churchyard, and points it out to Wart. Arthur pulls the sword from the stone, unwittingly fulfilling the Sword in the Stone’s prophecy. When Arthur returns with the sword, Ector and Sir Bart recognize it as the Sword in the Stone, and the tournament is stopped. Demanding that Arthur prove he pulled it, Ector replaces the sword in its anvil. Kay attempts to remove it himself, but he and none of the other men succeed in removing it. Wart manages to pull it out a second time with ease. The knights all proclaim, "Hail!! King Arthur!!", as the crowd, Sir Ector, and Kay all kneel to Arthur. The film cuts to Arthur, now crowned king, sitting in the throne room with Archimedes, feeling completely unprepared to take the responsibility of royalty. Overwhelmed by the cheering crowd outside, Arthur calls out to Merlin for help, who arrives (in 20th century attire) and is elated to find that Arthur is the King that he had seen in the future. Merlin tells the boy that he will rise and lead the Knights of the Round Table, accomplishing many amazing feats and becoming one of the most famous figures in literature and even in motion pictures (such as this film and the 2004 film). - Arthur/Wart: Rickie Sorensen, Richard Reitherman and Robert Reitherman - Merlin: Karl Swenson - Archimedes: Junius Matthews - Sir Ector: Sebastian Cabot - Sir Kay: Norman Alden - Madam Mim and Granny Squirrel: Martha Wentworth - Sir Pellinore: Alan Napier - Sir Bart: Thurl Ravenscroft - Scullery Maid: Barbara Jo Allen - Girl Squirrel: Ginny Tyler - Wolf: James MacDonald - Tiger and Talbot: Mel Blanc There are several scenes with animation recycled from other Disney films, as well as original animation that itself would be recycled in later productions. The deer Kay tries shooting at with his arrow was copied from Bambi's mother from Bambi. When Sir Ector and Kay are in the kitchen fighting against the enchanted dishware, Sir Ector swings his sword backwards and hits Kay on the head, with Kay groaning. Jasper and Horace in One Hundred and One Dalmatians were animated in the same way during the fight scene with Pongo and Perdita, and archive audio of J. Pat O'Malley (who voiced Jasper) was used for Kay's groan. Also, the footage where Wart is affectionately licked by the two castle dogs is reused in The Jungle Book four years later. The scene where Arthur is a squirrel jumping from one tree to the next was reused in The Fox and the Hound in 1981. When Wart goes into the forest to retrieve Kay's arrow, he pushes aside a branch and weaves in and out of a few small trees. This animation was reused in The Black Cauldron. - "The Sword in the Stone" (Sung by Fred Darian) - "Higitus Figitus" (Sung by Merlin) - "That's What Makes the World Go Round" (Sung by Merlin and Arthur) - "A Most Befuddling Thing" (Sung by Merlin) - "Mad Madame Mim" (Sung by Mim) - "Blue Oak Tree" (Ending of the song, sung by the Sir Ector and Sir Pellinore) - "The Magic Key" (Deleted Song, sung by Merlin) The film was originally released to theaters on December 25, 1963. In the United States, it was re-issued to theaters on December 22, 1972 and released jointly with Winnie the Pooh and a Day for Eeyore on March 25, 1983. - Main article: The Sword in the Stone (video) The film was first released in VHS format in the UK in 1983 and in the US on March 1986, as well as another VHS release in July 1991. Both of these were in the Walt Disney Classics line. The film was released on VHS again on October 28, 1994 as part of the Walt Disney Masterpiece Collection. The film was released on VHS again, along with a DVD release, of the film in March 2001 as part of the Walt Disney Gold Classic Collection. A special DVD edition was released for the 45th Anniversary of the film in June 2008. The Deluxe Edition, which included lithographs, a book, a lenticular card, and a certificate of authenticity, was also released in June 2008. For its 50th Anniversary, the film was released on Blu-ray on August 6, 2013. The film was a financial success at the box office and the sixth highest grossing film of 1963 in North America, earning estimated rentals of $4.75 million. It was better received by British critics than American critics, who thought it had too much humor and a "thin narrative." Rotten Tomatoes reports that 74% of critics gave positive reviews based on 23 reviews with an average score of 6.1/10. Its consensus states that "A decent take on the legend of King Arthur, The Sword in the Stone suffers from somewhat indifferent animation, but its characters are still memorable and appealing." Nell Minow of Common Sense Media gave the film four out of five stars, writing, "Delightful classic brings Arthur legend to life". In his book The Best of Disney, Neil Sinyard states that, despite not being well known, the animation is excellent, a complex structure, and more philosophical than most other Disney features. Sinyard suggests that Walt Disney may have seen something of himself in Merlin, and that Mim, who "hates wholesome sunshine", may have represented critics. The American Film Institute nominated The Sword in the Stone for its Top 10 Animated Films list. Madam Mim was adapted into the Duck universe where she sometimes teams with Magica De Spell and/or the Beagle Boys. She also appeared in the Mickey Mouse universe where she teamed with Black Pete on occasion and with the Phantom Blot at one point. She was in love with Captain Hook in several stories; in others, with Phantom Blot. In many European Disney comics, she lost her truly evil streak, and appears morbid yet relatively polite. Mim has appeared in numerous comics produced in the United States by Studio Program in the 1960s and 1970s, often as a sidekick of Magica. Most of the stories were published in Europe and South America. Among the artists are Jim Fletcher, Tony Strobl, Wolfgang Schäfer, and Katja Schäfer. Several new characters were introduced in these stories, including Samson Hex, an apprentice of Mim and Magica. The Sword itself appears in all of the Disneyland-style parks, located in front of their respective Carousels, with Disneyland's being King Arthur Carrousel. A sword pulling ceremony hosted by Merlin where a lucky child who pulled the sword would be declared the temporary ruler of Fantasyland was a common show until the ceremony ended several years ago. - This is the last animated feature released when Walt Disney was alive. |This page uses content from the English Wikipedia.

By Mohamed Ali Allah (SW) says in the Holy Quran, “There is not an animal (that lives) on the earth, nor a being that flies on its wings, but (forms part of) communities like you. Nothing have we omitted from the Book, and they (all) shall be gathered to their Lord in the end”(1). It’s amazing how the verse easily explains the nature of animals, yet there are evocative interpretations beyond the face of the verse. Most scholars say that “communities like you” means we share with the animals many things including survival, worshiping one God, resurrection (which indicated that animals have souls like us), and the like. The verse is teaching us more than just about sharing this planet, because psychologically people learn by reflecting on their environment. There are countless species that exceed the types of animals which we consider part of our diet. Historically, we learned most of the fundamental principles of survival like hunting, gathering, and coastal defense skills from animals. The story of Adam’s two sons in the Holy Quran tells us that when one of them killed the other, he did not know what to do at the time. However, he learned how to bury the body of his dead bother by watching a crow who had the same incident. Animals also teach us other tangible values that deal with morality such as the idea of motherhood, pride, and the idea of leadership. Consequently, animals are not part of nature, rather most of them are communities like us that impose compulsory rules to accomplish survival habits and it’s important that we analyze their behavior. If you look carefully, each species is able to turn their weakness into strength. For instance, each ant understands the significance of belonging to a bigger community, this animal kingdom survive as groups and they work together to harvest, plant, and save assets even in the most difficult times of the year. They respect their leadership and they are always on top of their tasks. Comparably, with humans and after two hundred years of modernization, we still have civil wars in many parts of the world including political revolutionaries awakened by a blow-up of injustice leaderships. The kingdom of bees implements the concept of loyalty, sacrifice, and sharing. Humans claim to be the best biological intelligence out there and yet we are falling to fulfill the basic natural ethics executed by little insects. In conclusion, Allah (SW) has created this world with certain laws and principles. And just like we understand and work with the laws of gravity, we need to work with the principles of ethics and morals to survive.
Despite the withdrawal of the Extradition Bill, the unrest continues and has escalated into widespread violence, culminating in the siege of the Hong Kong Polytechnic University. With the city now in tatters, it is essential that the violence stops and the city be rebuilt under “One country, two systems.” It’s been nearly six months since the initial protests in Hong Kong were ignited by the Extradition Bill. The Bill would have allowed for the special administrative region’s (SAR) criminal suspects to be extradited to mainland China, raising concerns over the possibility of unfair trials and violent treatment of criminals by the central state along with an increase in Beijing’s influence over Hong Kong. Although Carrie Lam finally announced that the Bill was “dead” in September, this was perceived as “too little, too late” by some of the protesters who, at this stage amplified their demands as a consequence of their anger towards a government who had arrested them and labelled their protests as “riots,” and the police who had treated them unfairly. The disputes are rooted in the protesters’ distrust of the government and a strong desire to maintain the city’s British legacy of democracy rather than a form of democracy that follows a direction dictated by the PRC. Unsurprisingly, when the clashes increased, the demands of the protesters shifted from the Extradition Bill to a political quest for civil liberty and universal suffrage, which had not been fully achieved based on the 1984 Sino-British Joint Declaration and the 1997 Basic Law of Hong Kong under the framework of “One Country, Two systems.” Beijing, however, did not respond sympathetically to this appeal, and instead promoted pro-Beijing rallies in Hong Kong, which brought about new waves of tit-for-tat violent demonstrations in the city and domino-rallies in the UK, France, the USA, Canada, and Australia in support of Hong Kong. The escalation subsequently caused chaos, injuries and the deaths of innocent citizens in Hong Kong and reached fever pitch in the Hong Kong Polytechnic University where student protesters were barricaded inside the campus by police force. The campus became a “war zone” surrounded by tear gas, petrol bombs, arrows, water cannons, armoured trucks, and augmented by the radicalism of “young soldiers.” Finally, a negotiated surrender organised by parents, school staff and local politicians provided the means for the situation to subside. These youth-led demonstrations bring to mind the May Fourth rallies in 1919 and China’s dark history concerning the June Fourth Incident (known in the West as the Tiananmen Square protests) in 1989, as both parallel the current political crisis in Hong Kong in terms of student radicalism and their quest for democracy and government accountability. However, the key difference is that this post-Umbrella Movement in Hong Kong was not forged by citywide solidarity. It is also worth noting that the Hong Kong protests involved students, teenagers, and even toddlers who had little or no idea about the protests and why they were protesting. They stormed into the legislative council, burned the Chinese flag and raised the American flag in a plea for help, destroyed public infrastructure, attacked innocent people in public spaces, and chanted slogans such as “Restore Hong Kong, the revolution of our times,” and “Hong Kong is not China.” Such blind radicalism/assertiveness accompanied by violence symbolises a newfound social and political consciousness among Hong Kong students in recent years. However, this is not the best solution to achieving democracy. It can only damage Hong Kong as such violent behaviour discredits democracy and may weaken the city’s probability in obtaining support from the international community. To Beijing, the slogans were seen as indicative of separatism and alluding to the foreign-orchestrated “colour revolution” that took place in the former Soviet countries in the 2000s leading to the overthrow of the government. Despite the “riots” and “division of China’s unity,” and despite China insisting that Hong Kong’s turmoil is an “internal affair” in which foreign countries must not interfere, President Xi is unlikely to resort to a military crackdown to quell the unrest as this could create tensions with Western democratic nations and at worst, ignite war between China and the US, the UK, and their allies. Meanwhile, Beijing is also conscious that a repetition of “June Fourth” would bring international condemnation down on China, and this could have dire consequences. The passing of the Hong Kong Human Rights and Democracy Act by the US House of Representatives has consolidated the US’s support for Hong Kong’s fight for freedom and this will undoubtedly complicate China-US relations and add further complexities/uncertainties to Hong Kong’s status and its identity. If the “conspiracy theory” that suspects western countries of intending to bring about disorder in China has an element of truth, it is essential that international politics are not played out at the expense of Hong Kong. The lengthy turmoil has burdened Hong Kong with enormous social, economic and human costs, and it’s time for both the Beijing and Hong Kong governments to reflect on the incident and reconcile their dispute over the level of autonomy that should prevail in the city and review the understanding of the “One country, two systems” principle. It’s imperative that the pro-democracy leaders step in and save Hong Kong by urging the protesters to cease violent demonstrations, abandon their provocative slogans and modify their “five demands.” It’s also important for the Hong Kong government to take the accusations of political brutality seriously as using violence against violence will not safeguard the city and will undoubtedly weaken the “One country, two systems” solution. Given the social-economic stratification in Hong Kong has already weakened its citizens’ trust and confidence in the government, it is possible the political crisis may further enhance such distrust and tear the city apart. Meanwhile, independent investigations into the allegations of political brutality are necessary to mitigate tragedies and return justice to the citizens of Hong Kong. As for the citizens of Hong Kong, it’s essential they are more understanding of the difficulties faced by their government as the SAR needs to juggle between Beijing’s ruling and the protection of the interests of Hong Kong citizens. A reflective and concessive approach at each end of the spectrum will help Hong Kong to regain momentum and hope.

Review of A Stain Upon the Sea: West Coast Salmon Farming by Hume et al. (Harbour Publishing, 2004) The creature that symbolizes the merger of oceanic and fresh waters is the anadromous Pacific salmon. The salmon have a long history in the Pacific; the fossil record for the salmon stretches back 1.6 million years to the Pleistocene Age, with an origin perhaps 100 million years ago. The Pacific salmon has since evolved into five species -- pink, chum, sockeye, coho, and chinook -- that inhabit a particular niche within the aqueous ecosystem. On the west coast of North America, the salmon range from northern California to Alaska. The salmon's lives begin as eggs deposited in a gravel bed, fertilized by milt from the male salmon. Upon hatching, they are tiny creatures called alevins, with huge eyes attached to orange sacs that sustain them nutritionally. Later they emerge from the gravel as small fry and search for feed. If the young fish survive, they will migrate as fingerlings to the saline embrace of the ocean. In the open ocean the salmon feed voraciously and carnivorously. Eventually the adult salmon will answer the not-so-well-understood, instinctual call-of-nature and return to their birth waters to spawn again. Although salmon spawn throughout the year, it is particularly in autumn when school groups, families, naturalists, and visitors flood to the leaf-strewn banks of flowing waters to observe the epic life-and-death struggle of the returning salmon. I often admired the fall spectacle and have donned wetsuit, mask, fins, and snorkel to drift with the unyielding flow while shoals of salmon powerfully darted up current around my mass. Shoddy logging practices near streams, mine tailings entering the waters, and the human thirst for more-and-more energy leading to the damming of salmon-bearing waters have wiped out the salmon and imperiled them elsewhere. A more recent menace has invaded the Pacific coast: salmon farms. Stephen Hume, Alexandra Morton, Betty C. Keller, Rosella M. Leslie, Otto Langer, and Don Staniford have synthesized the various threads of danger posed by salmon farming to the wild Pacific salmon in an informative book, A Stain Upon the Sea: West Coast Salmon Farming. Salmon farming involves the previously unheard-of mass cultivation of a carnivore species. To compound matters, on the Pacific coast, the farmed species is the introduced Atlantic salmon, a domesticated variant dubbed by some as Salmo domesticus. A Stain Upon the Sea revolves around the cataclysmic collapse of the 2001-2002 pink salmon run in the Broughton archipelago off northeast Vancouver Island -- a collapse attributed to a lethal sea lice infestation originating from the salmon farms. Hume details a similar collapse near salmon-farming operations in Ireland. Hume also examines the perspective of First Nations people, whose culture and existence are bound with the salmon. Salmon farming endangers this indigenous way-of-life. Kyuquot Nation member Leo Jack rails against the greed behind the drive to expand salmon-farming operations. British Columbia salmon-farming operations have ramifications outside the province. In Alaska where salmon farming is prohibited, fisherman David Harsila exclaims, "Alaska is the next target. When I look at the salmon farming industry I sort of boil it down to the structure of the multinational conglomerates and how they can influence government." Keller and Leslie chronicle the haphazard growth of salmon farms that are predominantly controlled by a few foreign multinational corporations. Langer delineates how his former place of employment, the federal Department of Fisheries (DFO), functions contrary to its mandate, which includes the protection of the fisheries and the marine and freshwater environment. The DFO is described as politicized; many key personnel are considered unknowledgeable about fisheries, and some work in an incestuous relationship with the salmon-farming industry that the DFO must monitor. The situation is so egregious that Langer muses, "Salmon farms seemed to have been given immunity from [the regulations of] the Fisheries Act." Langer finds particularly disturbing DFO's recalcitrance to seriously investigate the alleged outbreak of sea lice in the Broughton archipelago. Biologist Morton gives a firsthand account of the sea lice infestation traceable to salmon farms that precipitated a horrific 99 percent wipeout of the pink salmon run. She begins with the government chicanery that led to locating salmon farms in extremely sensitive areas of Broughton archipelago. She describes disease outbreaks from the salmon farms, and untenable practices such as employing "acoustic harassment devices" that frightened off the whales. The DFO was both uninterested and disinterested. After these experiences Morton writes, "I lost trust in the system; I felt it was working to hide the truth." Any lingering doubts were dismissed by DFO's negligence in enforcing regulations in the aftermath of the pink crash. If only it were supreme political and industrial ineptitude, but clearly disinformation was at the core of the government-corporate maneuvering. The government even sought to cleanse a community of witnesses to the illicit and destructive salmon-farming practices. As Morton states, "This is a rigged game and no truths will come to light." Morton speculates that the eradication of wild salmon might insidiously serve as a pretext to open up British Columbia to further exploitation by resource-extracting industries. Morton was moved to activism. Morton solidarized with others to form an action group and take on the corporate-government nexus that was imperiling the wild salmon and a community way of life. Choose your poisson Staniford's information-packed chapter details the toxic chemical brew in widespread use in the salmon-farming industry, focusing primarily on toxic delousing agents. Clearly, the salmon-farming industry had to deal with the terrible optics of the sea lice infestation. Occurrences of sea lice outbreaks and crashes of the wild salmon population confined to the neighborhood of salmon farms could not repeatedly be fobbed off as freak manifestations. The industry attempts to control sea lice with chemicals such as dichlorvos: a "carcinogenic, mutagenic and hormone-disrupting -- a so-called gender bender" organophosphate. The anti-parasitics are unselectively effective in the short-term. The salmon are adversely affected, as are benthic creatures and shellfish. Resistance developing among sea lice forces a change in chemicals. But the anti-parasitics were developed for use on terrestrial animals and many are explicitly labeled as dangerous to fish and not to be used in water, where the toxicity may be magnified. Staniford laments the insouciance to poor aquaculture practices: "I'm sick of the arrogant assumption by salmon farmers that their right to profit comes before the environment." However, the raising of farmed salmon doesn't have to be conducted in such a destructive fashion. The book concludes with a seven-point action plan to resolve the hazards of salmon farming. Currently, the corporate-government collusion prioritizes the profiteering of salmon-farming operations with minimal regard for the environment, wild creatures, and the health of workers and consumers while staunchly refusing cost-incurring alternatives. In western society, citizens caught stealing from corporations are severely punished, but when corporations steal the right of citizens to a clean environment and healthful food they are too often unpunished and seldom penalized harshly. As A Stain Upon the Sea illustrates, this is a scenario that must be changed -- the continued existence of wild Pacific salmon may depend on it.

A risk factor is something that increases your chances of getting a disease or condition. Genital herpes (HSV-2) is more common in women than in men, and the infection is more easily transmitted from men to women. The risk is highest among adolescents and young adults who are more likely to take risks with their sexual behavior. The most important risk factor for genital herpes infection is the number of sexual partners in a person’s lifetime. Other factors that may increase your chance of genital herpes include: - Sexual contact with a person who is infected with genital herpes - Multiple or frequent changes in sex partners - Inconsistent or incorrect condom use—latex condom use helps prevent the spread of sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) - History of sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) - HIV infection or other conditions that weaken the immune system - Sexual activity at an early age For people with no or mild symptoms, genital herpes can't be seen, so you can't tell if someone has it. Since most people are unaware they are infected, genital herpes can get transmitted from person to person without their knowledge. - Reviewer: Michael Woods, MD - Review Date: 05/2015 - - Update Date: 05/20/2015 -

The Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program has allowed more than 750,000 young unauthorized immigrants to live and work in the United States without the threat of deportation, thanks to President Obama's 2012 executive order. However, the future of the program under the Trump Administration is uncertain. DACA applies to undocumented immigrants who entered the country before the age of 16 and meet certain requirements, including being enrolled in high school or having a high school degree or GED, as well as not having any serious criminal convictions. DACA grants these individuals, a group sometimes called "Dreamers," a two-year work permit. The question is whether the Trump Administration will allow participants to remain in the program by accepting renewals -- or flat out cancelling the program. Will President Trump 'work something out'? While he was campaigning for the presidency, President-elect Trump said he would reverse all of the executive actions taken by President Obama, which includes the DACA program. However, Trump said recently that he will "work something out" with the Dreamers. Adding to the anxiety felt by DACA beneficiaries is the fact that Sen. Jeff Sessions, Trump's selection for attorney general, strongly opposes the DACA program as well as the proposal to offer undocumented immigrants a pathway to citizenship. What Happens If DACA Is Cancelled?If President-elect Trump decides to undo President Obama's executive order creating DACA, the program could be cancelled immediately or slowly phased out. A group of senators has already drafted legislation that would allow beneficiaries to remain working and living in the country for three years if this happens. However, there is no guarantee that the bill will pass a Republican-controlled Congress. At this point, the future of DACA -- and the future of Dreamers -- is up in the air. Contact an experienced immigration lawyer if you have questions about how your immigration status could be affected by the incoming administration.
On November 25, 1895, a cornerstone of ice was laid in Leadville, Colorado, the beginning of the largest ice palace ever built in America. The town was in the doldrums; the repeal of the Sherman Silver Purchase Act in 1893 had ended its glory days as a silver-mining center. In an effort to keep their city alive, the citizens staged a winter carnival. On New Years Day, 1896, the town turned out for the grand opening. The palace, costing more than $40,000 and measuring 450 feet long by 320 feet deep, covered more than three acres. The towers that flanked the entrance were 90 feet high. Inside was a 16,000-square-foot skating rink. But there was no pot of gold at the end of this rainbow. The thousands of visitors who came to see the spectacle spent very little money. The town that put its hope in an ice palace saw that hope melt away.
As you know, we are studying Church History. Before we move on to the ‘please, dear emperor, accept us’ I thought we’d take a break and study — Ignatius of Antioch This week, we are getting into the early 2nd century where we will encounter the need for Christians to establish themselves as a state religion in the Roman Empire. Contrary to what you’ve may have heard, Rome did not really care about your personal religion. What they respected was ‘hollowed antiquity.’ This is why the Jews could get away with not worshipping Jove or the other gods and goddess. Because they could show by their Scriptures just how ancient they were. In come the Christians whom the Jews said weren’t really Jews. That means the Christians were new — or, in the eyes of the Romans, atheists. They were suspect. So, for the next few centuries, we will encounter intellectuals who sought to present the Christian faith as ancient and politically supportive of the Empire while maintaining certain independent positions previously afforded only to the Jews. Before that, we must encounter Ignatius of Antioch. His letters survive in (generally) two forms — the longer and the shorter. Many scholars see the shorter versions of the epistles as the more authentic (some settle for what they call a middle recension) so we will only quote from them. Ignatius is best remembered, perhaps, for inventing two words — apostolic and catholic. Ignatius, who is also called Theophorus, to the holy Church which is at Tralles, in Asia, beloved of God, the Father of Jesus Christ, elect, and worthy of God, possessing peace through the flesh, and blood, and passion of Jesus Christ, who is our hope, through our rising again to Him, which also I salute in its fulness, and in the apostolical character, and wish abundance of happiness. Wherever the bishop shall appear, there let the multitude [of the people] also be; even as, wherever Jesus Christ is, there is the catholic church. It is not lawful without the bishop either to baptize or to celebrate a love-feast; but whatsoever he shall approve of, that is also pleasing to God, so that everything that is done may be secure and valid. As regards to this, we might better read it church universal, or, universal church. Why is this designation important? I would point to one reason — Ignatius understood ecumenical missions better than most today. He was a bishop of a long-standing Asian (note, this is according to Roman geography) church going to Rome to be executed. Later, the Asian Churches and Rome would have severe disagreements — and these disagreements are still manifest today in the Great Schism. For Ignatius, however, the Church is founded on Christ, so regardless of other differences, if Christ is present (and no doubt, present in the Eucharist), then it is the Church. Other things to note from Ignatius — he has established a hierarchy that is far more reaching than the Roman one we saw in Clement. While the Church is founded on Christ, the Bishop/Elder/Overseer is who brings Christ to the Table. See that ye all follow the bishop, even as Jesus Christ does the Father, and the presbytery as ye would the apostles; and reverence the deacons, as being the institution of God One final thing Ignatius provides for us is an early view on the nature of the bread and the wine, Let no man deceive himself. Both the things which are in heaven, and the glorious angels, and rulers, both visible and invisible, if they believe not in the blood of Christ, shall, in consequence, incur condemnation. “He that is able to receive it, let him receive it.” Let not [high] place puff any one up: for that which is worth all is3 faith and love, to which nothing is to be preferred. But consider those who are of a different opinion with respect to the grace of Christ which has come unto us, how opposed they are to the will of God. They have no regard for love; no care for the widow, or the orphan, or the oppressed; of the bond, or of the free; of the hungry, or of the thirsty. The discussion this week will focus on Ignatius. Some of the questions to consider as you read Ignatius are - Who is Jesus Christ to Ignatius? - Why did he feel the need to be martyred and not otherwise rescued (or his freedom purchased) - What does ‘catholic’ mean? - Can we find his view of the Eucharist anywhere today? - Can we find his view of the Church Government anywhere today? - And of course, does this matter to our faith, in this modern world, right here, right now while the world is waking up from history?

Natural history broadcasts have shown the ways in which animals communicated, including early humans, by using sound, gesture and appearance. As the human form evolved over tens of thousands of years, so too did the brain, nerves and muscles, leading to the ability to make the range of complex sounds necessary for speech. Thoughts, feelings and stories could be expressed directly to others within hearing distance. The oldest known evidence of ‘writing’ and of visual storytelling is found in cave art, the earliest examples of which date to 30,000 BCE. The paintings record information that could be ‘read’ by anyone passing. However, it wasn’t until 5,000 years later that the written word, invented by the Sumerians, allowed ideas, stories and feelings to be carried to others at a distance. Basic at first, the more artistic of writers began to embellish their letters, and the art of calligraphy was born. Calligraphy is the skilful art of lettering using a pen, ink brush or other instrument – chisels included. The Romans were probably responsible for its widespread introduction and popularity. There are many types of script, each visually pleasing and adding that ‘special something’ to documents and works of art. They’re commonly seen on invitations, hand-lettered logos, posters, illuminated texts, book, film and television titles,and wooden or cut stone inscriptions. A Rotherham u3a pilot calligraphy group is planned. It lacks just one thing: an experienced calligrapher to lead one or two (paid) preliminary sessions, providing information about equipment and techniques. If any reader is that person, or knows of someone who could help, please contact Sylvia Duncan 01709 374841 or visit www.u3asites.org.uk/rotherham.
A person born with a port-wine birthmark on his or her face and eyelid(s) has an 8 to 15 percent chance of being diagnosed with Sturge-Weber syndrome. The rare disorder causes malformations in certain regions of the body’s capillaries (small blood vessels). Port-wine birthmarks appear on areas of the face affected by these capillary malformations. Aside from the visible symptoms of Sturge-Weber, there are also some more subtle and worrisome ones. Sturge-Weber syndrome can be detected by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Such images can reveal a telltale series of malformed capillaries in regions of the brain. Brain capillary malformations can have potentially devastating neurological consequences, including epileptic seizures. Frustratingly, since doctors first described Sturge-Weber syndrome over 100 years ago, the relationship between brain capillary malformations and seizures has remained somewhat unexplained. In 2013, a Johns Hopkins University team found a GNAQ R183Q gene mutation in about 90 percent of sampled Sturge-Weber patients. However, the mutation’s effect on particular cells and its relationship to seizures still remained unknown. But recently, some new light has been shed on the mystery. At Boston Children’s Hospital, Sturge-Weber patients donated their brain tissue to research after it was removed during a drastic surgery to treat severe epilepsy. An analysis of their tissue, funded by Boston Children’s Translational Neuroscience Center (TNC), has revealed the cellular location of the Sturge-Weber mutation. The discovery brings new hope of finding ways to improve the lives of those with the disorder. … Radiologists who can tune in to the nuances of brain scans in children are a pretty rarified group. Only about 3 percent of U.S. radiologists, some 800 to 900 physicians, practice in pediatrics. Those specifically trained in pediatric neuroradiology are even scarcer. To a less trained eye, normal developmental changes in a child’s brain may be misinterpreted as abnormal on MRI. Conversely, a complex brain disorder can sometimes appear normal. That’s especially true when the abnormality affects both sides of the brain equally (see sidebar). It can be hard to find the cause of a child’s developmental delay without a proper read. “Pediatric brain scans of children under age 4 can be particularly tricky to read because the brain is rapidly developing during this period,” says Sanjay Prabhu, MBBS, a pediatric neuroradiologist at Boston Children’s Hospital. “If you’re looking at adult scans all the time, it’s incredibly difficult to transition to pediatric scans and understand what is considered ‘normal’ and ‘abnormal.’ Clinicians often wonder, ‘Should I repeat the scan? Should I send the patient to a specialist?’” … Children’s neurologist-neuroscientist Mustafa Sahin, Simon Warfield, director of the hospital’s Computational Radiology Laboratory, and Jurriaan Peters compared brain organization in 29 healthy subjects with that in 40 patients with tuberous sclerosis, a rare genetic syndrome often associated with cognitive and behavioral deficits, including ASDs about 50 percent of the time. “Patients with tuberous sclerosis can be diagnosed at birth or potentially before birth, because of cardiac tumors that are visible on ultrasound, giving us the opportunity to understand the circuitry of the brain at an early age,” explains Sahin. The panels above (click to enlarge) are advanced MRI images … For the third year running, my daughter is participating in a dyslexia study she entered at age 5, just after finishing preschool. Thinking she was part of a game, she spent about 45 minutes lying still in a rocket ship (in reality, an MRI scanner), doing mental tasks she believed would help lost aliens find their way back to their planet. All the while, her brain was being imaged, helping a team led by Nadine Gaab of Children’s Laboratories of Cognitive Neuroscience to find a pattern indicating that she might be at risk for dyslexia. Such signatures might flag children who could benefit from early intervention, sparing them the frustration of struggling with dyslexia once in school.
This rectangular prism is intersected by a plane that contains points N, P, U, and R. What is the perimeter of the cross section? Round to the nearest tenth. Two of the parallel sides of the plane will each equal NP = 6 The other two parallel sides will each equal PU = sqrt ( 6^2 + 15^2) = sqrt (36 + 225) = sqrt ( 261) So.....the perimeter of NPUR = 2 [ 6 + sqrt (261) ] ≈ 44.3 ft
Rectal cancer will be responsible for over 600,000 deaths across the world this year. In the event of cancer development, regualr screenings may help you catch the disease in an early stage. One of the most common ways to identify a rectal cancer without performing any tests, without having an MRI or x-rays done, and without having a colonoscopy and without performing surgery, is to analyze the symptoms that the patient is suffering from. To confirm the presence of rectal cancer, however, requires further evaluation. (see also: Colorectal Cancer Treatment) Testing for Colorectal Cancer Tests commonly used to diagnose rectal cancer include MRI, x-rays, colonoscopy, a digital rectal exam, fecal occult blood test and a sigmoidoscopy. A sigmoidoscopy is a lighted probe that is inserted into the rectum and lower colon to check for polyps and other abnormalities. A colonoscopy is a lighted probe that is inserted into the rectum and the entire colon to look for polyps and other abnormalities that may be caused by cancer. The advantage of using a colonoscopy is that if polyps are found during the procedure they can be removed almost immediately. Also, tissue may be removed for biopsy (the removal and examination of tissues). DIGITAL RECTAL EXAM A digital rectal exam is when a doctor inserts a lubricated, gloved finger into the rectum to feel for abnormal areas. This type can only detect tumors that are large enough to be felt by the finger. FECAL BLOOD TEST A fecal occult blood test is when the doctor tests for blood in the stool. CAT scans and virtual colonoscopies can also be used to help test for rectal cancer. Overview of Staging Staging of rectal cancer depends on the extent of local invasion, the degree of lymph node involvement, and whether there is distant metastasis. Definitive staging can only be done following surgery and the complete analysis of pathology reports. Stages of Rectal Cancer There are two primary staging systems for rectal cancer: DUKES STAGING SYSTEM The Dukes system classifies rectal cancer into: Stage A: The tumor is confined to the intestinal wall. Stage B: The tumor has invaded through the intestinal wall. Stage C: The tumor has lymph node involvement Stage D: The tumor has metastasized to other locations in the body. TNM STAGING SYSTEM The TNM system stands for tumors/nodes/metastases. This system assigns a number to go along with one of the three letters. The T stands for the degree of invasion of the intestinal wall, the N stands for the degree of lymphatic node involvement, and the M stands for the degree of metastases. For example: T0: No evidence of tumor Tis: Cancer in situ (tumor present, but no invasion) T1: The tumor has inbvaded through the muscularis mucosa into submucosa. T2: The tumor has invaded through submucosa into the muscularis propria (i.e. proper muscle of the bowel wall). T3: The tumor has invaded through the muscularis propria into subserosa, but not to any neighbouring organs or tissues. T4: The tumor has invaded beyond the muscularis propria into surround structures. N0: No are lymph nodes involved. N1: One to three nodes involved. N2: Four or more nodes involved. M0: No metastasis. M1: Metastasis present.
created 2003 · complexity basic · author Dubhead · version 5.7 Ctrl-Y in insert mode is one of Vim's handy extensions that inserts character which is above cursor (see :help i_CTRL-Y). However, sometimes this is not very useful when a user wants to insert many characters. In this case it's better to get a word above the cursor. Put this in vimrc: " Wordwise Ctrl-Y in insert mode noremap! <C-Y> <Esc>klyWjpa You might want to substitute 'W' with 'w', 'E', or 'e'. Try them and choose one that works best for you. Unfortunately, this simple map doesn't work at the beginning or end of line. Improvements are welcome. How about a small mod: noremap! <C-Y> <Esc>klyWjPa Other interesting variants, depending upon what one wants: inoremap <C-Y> <Esc>klyiWjPa inoremap <C-Y> <Esc>klyiwjPa The yiw yanks the "inner word", yiW yanks the "inner WORD". Both of these forms appear to work at both the beginning and end of sentences, with the exception that neither works for a single letter word at the beginning of a sentence. :imap <F1> <C-O>:set virtualedit=all<CR><C-O>k<C-O>yw<C-O>j<C-O>P<C-O>:set virtualedit=<CR> is a little bit better, but not really satisfying (a bug in virtualedit/<C-O>?). Hmm.. I can't get Ctrl-Y to work at all :( I tried :behave xterm but it doesn't seem to do anything for me :( I found it works in the Linux version, but not in Windows. - Which version doesn't work for you? I tried using the inoremap <expr> mapping and also using the mapping with the F1 key. Both worked without problems. So be please specific, what mapping did you use, what happened, did you get an error message, etc... Chrisbra 07:22, November 15, 2011 (UTC) Here is a somewhat elaborate solution that fixes several problems: - works at the beginning of a line - terminates at the end of a line (doesn't do anything weird) - doesn't overwrite the unnamed (last used) register " wordwise yank from line above inoremap <silent> <C-Y> <C-C>:let @z = @"<CR>mz \:exec 'normal!' (col('.')==1 && col('$')==1 ? 'k' : 'kl')<CR> \:exec (col('.')==col('$')-1 ? 'let @" = @_' : 'normal! yw')<CR> \`zp:let @" = @z<CR>a What it does: - Cancel insert mode and save @z. This macro will overwrite register z and mark z. Use temporary ones that you would never use manually. - Mark position z. - Move up, and then move right only if the cursor was not at the beginning of the line on an empty line. - If the cursor is now at the end of the line, do nothing (and clear @"so the paste doesn't duplicate the last paste). Otherwise yank to the next word. - Go back to mark z and paste. @"and go into insert mode after the pasted text. You can also change the mapping to yank to the end of a word (change "yw" to "ye" on the third line). If you have Vim 7 you can use an expression mapping to simplify the mapping. This mapping also will not overwrite any registers or marks inoremap <expr> <c-y> matchstr(getline(line('.')-1), '\%' . virtcol('.') . 'v\%(\k\+\\|.\)')
One of MongoDB’s arguments when evangelising MongoDB is the fact that MongoDB is a “schemaless” database: MongoDB is a JSON-style data store. The documents stored in the database can have varying sets of fields, with different types for each field. And that’s true. But it doesn’t mean that there is no schema. There are in fact various schemas: - The one in your head when you designed the data structures - The one that your database really implemented to store your data structures - The one you should have implemented to fulfill your requirements Every time you realise that you made a mistake (see point three above), or when your requirements change, you will need to migrate your data. Let’s review again MongoDB’s point of view here: With a schemaless database, 90% of the time adjustments to the database become transparent and automatic. For example, if we wish to add GPA to the student objects, we add the attribute, resave, and all is well — if we look up an existing student and reference GPA, we just get back null. Further, if we roll back our code, the new GPA fields in the existing objects are unlikely to cause problems if our code was well written. Everything above is true as well. “Schema-less” vs. “Schema-ful” But let’s translate this to SQL (or use any other “schema-ful” database instead): ALTER TABLE student ADD gpa VARCHAR(10); And we’re done! Gee, we’ve added a column, and we’ve added it to ALL rows. It was transparent. It was automatic. We “just get back null” on existing students. And we can even “roll back our code”: ALTER TABLE student DROP gpa; Not only are the existing objects unlikely to cause problems, we have actually rolled back our code AND database. - We can do exactly the same in “schema-less” databases as we can in “schema-ful” ones - We guarantee that a migration takes place (and it’s instant, too) - We guarantee data integrity when we roll back the change What about more real-world DDL? Of course, at the beginning of projects, when they still resemble the typical cat/dog/pet-shop, book/author/library sample application, we’ll just be adding columns. But what happens if we need to change the student-teacher 1:N relationship into a student-teacher M:N relationship? Suddenly, everything changes, and not only will the relational data model prove far superior to a hierarchical one that just yields tons of data duplication, it’ll also be moderately easy to migrate, and the outcome is guaranteed to be correct and tidy! CREATE TABLE student_to_teacher AS SELECT id AS student_id, teacher_id FROM student; ALTER TABLE student DROP teacher_id; … and we’re done! (of course, we’d be adding constraints and indexes) Let’s face the truth Schemalessness is about a misleading term as much as NoSQL is: And again, MongoDB’s blog post is telling the truth (and an interesting one, too): Generally, there is a direct analogy between this “schemaless” style and dynamically typed languages. Constructs such as those above are easy to represent in PHP, Python and Ruby. What we are trying to do here is make this mapping to the database natural. When you say “schemaless”, you actually say “dynamically typed schema” – as opposed to statically typed schemas as they are available from SQL databases. JSON is still a completely schema free data structure standard, as opposed to XML which allows you to specify XSD if you need, or operate on document-oriented, “schema-less” (i.e. dynamically typed) schemas. (And don’t say there’s json-schema. That’s a ridiculous attempt to mimick XSD) … and more: So, there’s absolutely nothing that is really easier with “schemaless” databases than with “schemaful” ones. You just defer the inevitable work of sanitising your schema to some other later time, a time when you might care more than today, or a time when you’re lucky enough to have a new job and someone else does the work for you. You might have believed MongoDB, when they said that “objects are unlikely to cause problems”. But let me tell you the ugly truth: Anything that can possibly go wrong, does We wish you good luck with your dynamically typed languages and your dynamically typed database schemas – while we’ll stick with type safe SQL.
