text: Dylos Corporation offers air quality monitoring at its best. The Dylos air quality monitors are a diagnostic tool that provide information crucial to determining whether your indoor air quality is safe and healthy for you and your family. Capable of detecting the number and size of particles from bacteria, mold spore, dust, insect feces and smoke, these air quality sensors are ideal for any home, office or workshop. With a true laser particle counter and real time readings that can respond to a change in particle levels within 6 seconds, the units are able to detect particulate matter in 2 concentration thresholds; particle size will vary depending on the model.
  Designed specifically for consumer use, the Dylos air quality sensors are affordable, simple to use and virtually maintenance free. With a number of convenient features, you will be able to take air samples hourly or continuously and view the data history in minute, hour or daily mode. Some models have a COM Port Interface allowing you to link the device to your laptop or PC to capture sampled data for future graphing and analysis.
  With the knowledge you gain from your Dylos air quality monitor, you will be able to take the steps necessary to improve your indoor air quality with either the purchase of an Air Purifier or an Air Cleaner.

  Russian journalist accused of anti-gay 'propaganda' defeats charges | Banbury | 2 Mar 2014 | Amnesty International UK
  In January this year, Elena Klimova was charged under Russia’s new anti-'gay propaganda' law for running Children 404, a website offering support to LGBTI teenagers.
  Last week, Elena's case was heard in court. The court ruled in her favour. Elena has been told that she can continue Children 404, her project that offers a lifeline to Russian teens.
  More than 15,000 Amnesty supporters in the UK emailed or sent a text to the Russian authorities via our website or SMS action network, calling on them to drop the charges against Elena. Thank you. We'll continue to monitor the situation, and let you know if we need your support again. In the meantime, you can help to continue to defend LGBTI rights around the world from the UK to Russia to Uganda by joining our LGBTI Network.

  Since the beginning of the uprising in Syria in March 2011, we have documented a horrific number of war crimes and crimes against humanity, mainly committed by government forces.
  Both pro and anti-government forces have killed and tortured captives and both have been responsible for the killing of civilians through the use of indiscriminate weapons.
  Our researchers have visited Syria many times, returning with horrific accounts of deaths caused by government forces’ indiscriminate shelling of civilian areas.
  Children have been killed queuing for bread and as they sleep at night. Families have been torn apart or destroyed completely. Such indiscriminate shelling of heavily populated areas amount to war crimes and we have collected evidence of such offences in many regions of the country.
  Government forces have also used Cluster Bombs - weapons proven to put civilians at such risk that they have been banned internationally.
  Armed opposition groups all over Syria – both those fighting under the banner of the Free Syrian Army (FSA) and others with no links to the FSA – have committed a growing number of serious abuses and potential war crimes. Perhaps most well-known are the instances in which they have carried out mass summary killings of those in their custody, and we have also found evidence of horrific abuse of captured government soldiers.
  As they overrun government military positions opposition forces seized significant quantities of weapons, often using them in a reckless manner seriously endangering civilians.
  As the solar system formed more than four billion years ago, primitive particles collided and clumped into larger and larger bodies. Many asteroids retain these ancient components virtually unchanged. But all the planets, the Moon and some large asteroids partially or completely melted. Dense molten iron-carrying other elements dissolved in it-sank to the cores of these bodies. Molten rock and silicate crystals hardened into rocky mantles above the cores. Further partial melting of mantles caused crusts to form, as on Earth.
  Some meteorites come from differentiated planets and asteroids, which started as chondrites but melted and separated into iron and stony parts. Iron meteorites, for example, come from the cores of asteroids that broke up in collisions. And stony meteorites from once-molten crusts can reveal surprising details about how their parent planets formed.
  The larger a planet grows, the more likely it is to melt. Objects in space cool by radiating heat from their surfaces. Heat moves slowly through rocks, so larger planets trap more heat inside them. As rocky planets and asteroids collected undifferentiated chondritic material and grew larger, more and more heat built up inside them until they began to melt, leading to differentiation.
  A major heat source in the early solar system was the decay of a radioactive isotope of aluminum. Heat was also generated by collisions, internal motion and possibly even by electric currents induced by the solar wind.
